| Vretilli | i must do it 4 GB :| | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Zirg | sgtoompa, that will test the memory for errors. It's an option when you boot the ()buntu cd. make sure your memory is good, first. | 00:00 |
| bazhang | Vretilli, 2gb should be fine though I have 6gb :) | 00:00 |
| Scunizi | bosanac: check out http://www.linux-sound.org/ddj.html | 00:00 |
| Slart | bosanac: describe what the windows program does.. many people here only use ubuntu | 00:00 |
| m1r | bosanac: djplay | 00:00 |
| Vretilli | 6 GB for the swap? | 00:00 |
| sgtoompa | Zirg: So should I enter the cd in my cd drive, restart and do the memtest86? | 00:00 |
| Zirg | sgtoompa, "I" would. | 00:01 |
| bazhang | Vretilli, 2gb should be fine for you :) | 00:01 |
| Terabyte | slart, outputs quite a lot, anything in particular? eth0, link encap: ethernet, Hw.. <<address>> inet6 addr..... then eth1, similarly with no mention of inet 6 add, then another mention of eth0:avahi | 00:01 |
| sgtoompa | Zirg: Ok. thanks :-), what should I do if it doesn't find anything wrong | 00:01 |
| ralph | can some one help me i have a link on my clipboard to describe my problem ??? | 00:01 |
| Zirg | bazhang, I take it I exhausted your searches too. :-) | 00:01 |
| Vretilli | ok | 00:01 |
| ralph | http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotcn8.png | 00:01 |
| Zirg | sgtoompa, Come Back Here! :-)) | 00:01 |
| woli | hi | 00:01 |
| Vretilli | thanks everybody | 00:02 |
| sgtoompa | haha ok. Be Back soon maybe :-D | 00:02 |
| bazhang | Zirg, the printer cannot be seen at all? is this a shared printer or other | 00:02 |
| Zirg | sgtoompa, good luck | 00:02 |
| Vretilli | good night guys! | 00:02 |
| Slart | Terabyte: well.. there's a eth0 in there.. that's good news at least.. | 00:02 |
| woli | i own a usb-dongle and its connected to my computer right now.. My linux bluetooth wont detect the device. Help. | 00:02 |
| Slart | Terabyte: what happens if you run this "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0" in a terminal? | 00:02 |
| KrimZon | memtesting takes ages :\ | 00:02 |
| ralph | can some one help me i have a link on my clipboard to describe my problem ??? | 00:03 |
| ralph | http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotcn8.png | 00:03 |
| Zirg | bazhang, oh, no! the printer is seen on the ip / port it's assigned to. "I" just don't have a ppd on either of these machines I can point cups at, hence my asking which package I needed FOR that ppd. But if you too are finding that foo2zjs is 'supposed' to be it, I guess I'm just out of luck. | 00:03 |
| Terabyte | it asks me for my password, and then says "ifdown: interface eth0 not configured; Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. | 00:03 |
| Lanlost | http://home.columbus.rr.com/lanlost/glxgears.png | 00:03 |
| Lanlost | that is why I want to know what driver I am using ^ | 00:04 |
| === nith is now known as Nith | ||
| Lanlost | ATI driver doesn't do that, but compiz is slow. This does that, but compiz is great. | 00:04 |
| Slart | Terabyte: it doesn't try to get an ip-adress using dhcp? | 00:04 |
| bazhang | zirg is this on a lan? what about sharing it via another computer or the router | 00:04 |
| Jaikkuli | anyone here use blender? | 00:04 |
| ralph | D|STORT | 00:04 |
| Terabyte | slart, everything i wrote, is everything it says | 00:04 |
| Lt88 | Lanlost: turn off compiz until you resolve your problem if i were you. | 00:04 |
| === ralph is now known as D|STORT | ||
| Lanlost | you mean, use the ati drivers instead of these without compiz? | 00:05 |
| viperserv1 | hello i added a user and she can't use wine in gnome | 00:05 |
| Zirg | bazhang, Yes, it's a network printer. The issue is that I can't use it via any of the ()buntu machines in the office as they don't have the proper ppd to talk to it. | 00:05 |
| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| D|STORT | how do i forcedismount a drive ? | 00:05 |
| Lanlost | well, I'm not planning n using opengl much... so that's why I'm not using ATI drivers.. The only reason i can think of for using ATI drivers would be for opengl. I'm getting 1250fps in glxgears.. which means the performance isn't that back with non-ati drivers | 00:05 |
| bbyever | D|STORT: sudo umount -f | 00:06 |
| Zirg | D|STORT, mount -f | 00:06 |
| D|STORT | http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotcn8.png | 00:06 |
| Lt88 | Lanlost: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#C._ATi_Open_Source_radeon_driver_.28ATi_only.29 | 00:06 |
| Lanlost | oh, maybe that screenshot doesn't give the right impression | 00:06 |
| Lanlost | glxgears is the ONLY program that does that. | 00:06 |
| Lanlost | I thought compiz used opengl | 00:06 |
| Lanlost | Lt88, let me look | 00:06 |
| D|STORT | in the link discripbed above i need to dismount that drive | 00:07 |
| emma | Lanlost: compiz certainly does use opengl | 00:07 |
| Zirg | Lanlost, iirc, only in nV does it use the opengl. | 00:07 |
| emma | Lanlost: that is the reason why google earth does not want to run well with compiz running. Because google earth also uses opengl. | 00:07 |
| Lanlost | Emma, that doesnt' make sense.. | 00:08 |
| ringer | i have a logitech wireless mouse and i dont want it to take any action when i tilt the scroll wheel left or right, how can i disable that? | 00:08 |
| Zirg | bazhang, well, Thank You for trying! I appreciate the assist. | 00:08 |
| emma | Something to do with the kernel at the moment not supporting two apps using opengl at the same time. | 00:08 |
| D|STORT | Zirg will u plz tell me how to dismount this drive in this screen shot http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotcn8.png | 00:08 |
| Slart | Terabyte: I'm off to bed so I can't help you any further.. just one thing before I go.. if you're getting that ip from your ISP it might be that the dhcp-server still thinks your Vista is connected.. so it won't give you a new ip-number until that lease expires. (should take about half an hour or so) .. I've had this problem with my ISP when I used to dual-boot.. if you boot vista and before you shutdown run "ipconfig /release" or something like that to releas | 00:08 |
| Lanlost | two programs can use opengl at the same time without problems.. | 00:08 |
| bbyever | D|STORT: open a terminal and cd into /dev or /media then run sudo umount -f "name-of-drive" | 00:09 |
| Terabyte | ok thanks slart | 00:09 |
| Arrick | Slart I dont see any modules for that that will manage apache, do you know of ant customs? | 00:09 |
| adrift | hello all | 00:09 |
| Lanlost | Zirg, this is getting closer to the information I need.. and would explain to me why I can use compiz without the ATI drivers. What does compiz use on non nv cards? | 00:09 |
| max_ | Can someone help me? My webcam is working funnily. The display output is BLUE. | 00:09 |
| cgentry72 | how do i change the gnome start button(icon) | 00:09 |
| Lanlost | max_, that sound's more like a tv capture card that isn't getting a signal and defaulting to blue to get rid of the static | 00:09 |
| max_ | How would I fix that? | 00:10 |
| Lanlost | that's what mine does if I switch to it (capture card) | 00:10 |
| Slart | Arrick: I don't use it myself so I have no idea.. surprising that apache wouldn't be available.. it seems like a very common program | 00:10 |
| Lanlost | I've never used my capture card in linux, but it's working. I'm assuming that if I plugged a source into it.. it would show up. | 00:10 |
| D|STORT | ralph@ralph-desktop:/media$ sudo unmount -f EXTERNAL HDD | 00:10 |
| D|STORT | sudo: unmount: command not found | 00:10 |
| Lanlost | I don't know.. I'm just letting you know that so you might be able to figure out something based off that | 00:10 |
| max_ | umount D| | 00:10 |
| max_ | not unmount | 00:10 |
| Zirg | Lanlost, (shrug) :-) Mate I don't even BOOT it, unless it has nV under the hood. Sorry. | 00:10 |
| Lanlost | is it possible that linux things your webcam is a capture card? | 00:11 |
| Arrick | Slart lol, you would think so | 00:11 |
| Lt88 | D|STORT: it's umount i believe, not unmount | 00:11 |
| Zirg | D|STORT, no. sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1 <ENTER> and it's umount not UNmount | 00:11 |
| Lanlost | zirg, boot what? the computer or compiz | 00:11 |
| sveakex | is testdisk on the latest livecd? | 00:11 |
| adrift | Got a question folks. I just updated from Gusty to Hardy... everything fine. Tried to update to "Extra Visual | 00:11 |
| adrift | Effects | 00:11 |
| Terabyte | Anybody help me get my internet connection up and running on 8.04? It was working fine on 7.04, works fine on vista, yes the network connection is plugged in. I'm using bethere broadband via their normal router, it SHOULD be just plug and play, problem is in ubuntu, if i go to Network Settings All the entries in the connections list are disabled. Any ideas? | 00:11 |
| Lanlost | I can't tell if that means you have some huge pride for nVidia.. or you just don't think of using compiz without it | 00:11 |
| max_ | Perhaps Lanlost .. | 00:11 |
| max_ | It's camorama that displays it as blue | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | ralph@ralph-desktop:/media$ sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1 | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | umount2: Invalid argument | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted | 00:12 |
| Zirg | Lanlost, computer. And No, I don't run compiz/fusion. personally, I detest it. Horrible waste of time/resources. | 00:12 |
| f0rmat | i just upgraded to 8.04 and now cannot used updates as it just says all the links are dead :S it cannot seem to get access to ubuntu repos or any other non ubuntu repos i add for some reason | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | 1 sec | 00:12 |
| DjViper | umount should be aliased unmount in ubuntu just for userfriendliness-ness | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | mount | 00:12 |
| adrift | and then I had to restart my computer and now I'm working on safe mode graphics. | 00:12 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | adrift | 00:12 |
| ubottu | adrift: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 00:12 |
| chaosrl | does anyone here have experience with thinkvantage rescue and recovery? | 00:12 |
| Terabyte | f0rmat, sounds like you have no internet connection, like me | 00:12 |
| DjViper | rm should be aliased del aswell | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | ralph@ralph-desktop:/media$ sudo mount -f /dev/sdb1 | 00:12 |
| D|STORT | mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 00:12 |
| voiici | Terabyte: you need to unlock them. there is a button on the lower edge of the networking manager to do so | 00:12 |
| Zirg | D|STORT, df -h and see what IS mounted. If the removable is in there, use THAT info in the umount line. | 00:12 |
| adrift | ok thanks ubottu | 00:12 |
| Lanlost | zirg, I'm sort of a cross between you and people who do stuff like make skins | 00:12 |
| Terabyte | voiici thanks | 00:12 |
| f0rmat | Terabyte, i do have 1 as i run a server | 00:13 |
| f0rmat | Terabyte, and am speaking to you right now | 00:13 |
| kgwillow | what will happen if I kill Xorg under System-Monitor(Processes)? | 00:13 |
| adrift | and thank you too bazhang | 00:13 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: Maybe this is a long shot--but did you hit the "administration" button or similar in the Network program and type your password? | 00:13 |
| bazhang | adrift, she is a bot | 00:13 |
| Laizerox | Hello | 00:13 |
| adrift | oh hehe | 00:13 |
| Andre_Fiuza | Olá pessoal | 00:13 |
| zim | hi all | 00:13 |
| bazhang | :) | 00:13 |
| adrift | well thank her for me | 00:13 |
| Zirg | D|STORT, RALPH! GET OFF THE DRIVE! hahahahahaha Yer trying to cut the branch off, that you are SITTING ON!!! | 00:13 |
| adrift | :D | 00:13 |
| zim | quick Q | 00:13 |
| Zirg | D|STORT, cd <ENTER> | 00:13 |
| voiici | Terabyte: no prob. and if you want to have a nice working networking manager try wicd | 00:13 |
| mainstreet | ok, I tried to load Ubuntu, and got the busybox, someone told me to try running "dmesg", I did and got something looooooong, so what would it tell me? | 00:13 |
| Terabyte | f0rmat can you get online with firefox? | 00:13 |
| voiici | i hate the gnome native one | 00:13 |
| sveakex | is testdisk on the latest livecd? | 00:13 |
| Andre_Fiuza | como faço pra instalar a webcam no skype? | 00:14 |
| bazhang | mainstreet, this is via wubi? | 00:14 |
| Terabyte | steve-cal just trying unlocking and fiddling with it, thanks | 00:14 |
| robbie`` | ugh | 00:14 |
| mainstreet | bazhang: ? | 00:14 |
| D|STORT | fuck it ill install winshit to fix this shit | 00:14 |
| Lanlost | zirg, I used linux without X for 2 years by having multiple consoles open... so I definitely know what you mean by a waste of time. However, it work's great for me and doesn't cause any problems so I use it. | 00:14 |
| bazhang | Andre_Fiuza, english please | 00:14 |
| Laizerox | bumping into problem for few days... problems is that my audio disappears... or well players can't play anything neither wine | 00:14 |
| robbie`` | i couldnt even get this machine online when i plugged it in directly to the modem | 00:14 |
| Laizerox | anything could oppose this? | 00:14 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: That may be your only problem--just unlocking it. :) | 00:14 |
| Nitricacid | Does anyone use Kate, and know how to edit how many spaces tab uses? | 00:14 |
| Andre_Fiuza | excuse me | 00:14 |
| Lanlost | max_ I would suggest looking up your specific webcam on google with "linux" | 00:14 |
| Lanlost | like "MyWebCamModel linux" | 00:14 |
| f0rmat | Terabyte, yes i can | 00:15 |
| Lanlost | or even search for "mywebcammodel linux blue" | 00:15 |
| mainstreet | bazhang: what do you mean by that? what is | 00:15 |
| Zirg | Lanlost, I would be giving up desktops, if I ran that. I run a dozen active desktops, in KDE, on all my machines. Going backwards to 4 (or 6 w/beta compiz) would be silly. :-) | 00:15 |
| mainstreet | "wubi" | 00:15 |
| Terabyte | f0rmat ignore me then >.< | 00:15 |
| Andre_Fiuza | how i install the web cam for skype? | 00:15 |
| zim | how can I remove the ESSIS:" " from ESSID:"Some Access Point" in terminal from command line ? | 00:15 |
| f0rmat | Terebyte, ubuntu package manager says "HIT" to every update :S | 00:15 |
| Lanlost | Zirg, you can specify the number you want. you can use more than 6 I'm pretty sure | 00:15 |
| Andre_Fiuza | how i install the web cam for skype? | 00:16 |
| Lanlost | but regardless, that's a good reason | 00:16 |
| Zirg | zim, sudo iwconfig {device} ESSID "" <ENTER> | 00:16 |
| Terabyte | Steve-cal, on eth1 properties, should I pick Local Zeroconf network, or Automatic Configuration (DHCP)? | 00:16 |
| voiici | dhcp probably | 00:16 |
| yeoj_ | is there a how to on how to install stuff? For instance, i'm struggling to get flash installed/configured with firefox... thought this would be more straight forward... | 00:16 |
| Nitricacid | yeoj_: use the within firefox dler | 00:16 |
| Nitricacid | its much easier | 00:16 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: Try DHCP first and see if it is able to get an IP, otherwise we can try a static IP. | 00:16 |
| Nitricacid | at the top of your screen just click the little error message | 00:16 |
| Nitricacid | and then just keep clicking next | 00:17 |
| yeoj_ | Nitricacid, it fails.... says i have to 'manually install' from adobe... | 00:17 |
| Ganandorf | should i install this or does ubuntu 8.4 have it already | 00:17 |
| Nitricacid | yeoj_: try the other ones | 00:17 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey, can someone tell me a HDD partitioner I can download for 8.04? | 00:17 |
| voiici | yeoj_: go to a website that has flash and click on the yellow field at the top of the webpage that will appear to install flash. install other programs with "synaptic package manager" which can be found in the administration menu | 00:17 |
| eswiig | yeoj_: weird, i just did it 5 min ago | 00:17 |
| zim | Zirg: SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. | 00:17 |
| alan_m | Auctionedllama, gparted | 00:17 |
| Nitricacid | yea i have hardy and i did it like, 2 min ago | 00:17 |
| === stephen is now known as Stephenishere | ||
| Auctionedllama | thanks man | 00:18 |
| voiici | or install "flashplugin-nonfree" from synaptics | 00:18 |
| Nitricacid | yea | 00:18 |
| alan_m | sure Auctionedllama | 00:18 |
| zim | how I got that was iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID | 00:18 |
| Nitricacid | Anyone here know how to use Kate the txt editing program, im having some problems. | 00:18 |
| alan_m | Auctionedllama, you might have to enable some repositories, not sure....been a while since i installed it. | 00:18 |
| Auctionedllama | alright mate, I'll check it out | 00:19 |
| Steve-cal | zim: Be sure to put "sudo" in front of those commands... | 00:19 |
| zim | Zirg: but I then would like to strip the ESSID:" " | 00:19 |
| yeoj_ | eswiig, i'm just going to try from apt-get... this gui installers are ticking me off. | 00:19 |
| zim | done | 00:19 |
| sveakex | is testdisk on the latest livecd??? | 00:19 |
| robbie`` | zim: did you have a hard time getting your wireless card to work | 00:19 |
| sveakex | for recovery purposes? | 00:19 |
| dualboo1 | how do I dual boot between vista and ubuntu | 00:19 |
| Nitricacid | dualboo1: its simple | 00:20 |
| zim | robbie``: yes using windoze driver | 00:20 |
| sveakex | dualboo1: your shink the vista partition inside vista, and then you use the rest of the space for ubuntu | 00:20 |
| Nitricacid | exactly | 00:20 |
| voiici | dualboo1: install vista first, after that ubuntu. ubuntu will add a start-menu for you to choose which operating system to boot | 00:20 |
| Nitricacid | then you use grub to control | 00:20 |
| Terabyte | Steve-cal, Still not working :(. I have 2 connections, i've tried setting both of them to dhcp (and each individually) nothing seems to work | 00:20 |
| robbie`` | dualboo1: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/05/08/dual-boot-laptop.html | 00:20 |
| Terabyte | Steve-cal, and static | 00:20 |
| robbie`` | thats a good tutorial | 00:20 |
| Nitricacid | dualboo1: if you have any questions after you read the tut pm me | 00:20 |
| s3a | u no in synaptic u can choose to download & install more than one thing, right? is it possible to put things in queue using terminal? | 00:20 |
| dualboo1 | I installed ubuntu on another drive in a separate partition but when I restart I don;t get a boot menu | 00:21 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: Make sure in the main Network program window you have only ONE interface checked--should be your eth0 interface. What do you see? | 00:21 |
| zim | robbie``: but you are missing the point it works fine now this is a command line Q | 00:21 |
| dualboo1 | thanks robie | 00:21 |
| voiici | s3a: yes. apt-get install packageA packageB packageC ... | 00:21 |
| yeoj_ | ok, now i think i need kernel headers to install/compile my vmware module.... | 00:21 |
| sveakex | dualboo1: because grub is installed on the wrong partition it seems | 00:21 |
| Terabyte | steve-cal, i see two checked, i have unchecked the 2nd one | 00:22 |
| Terabyte | still not working* | 00:22 |
| Krepta | which partition is set as primary? | 00:22 |
| imjesus_1 | got a quick questin wat happen to beryl | 00:22 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: which two devices can you choose from? | 00:22 |
| zim | if have some text on a line ie. foo bar how can I remove foo for example | 00:22 |
| Terabyte | Wired Connection (eth0) or Wired Connection (eth1) | 00:22 |
| dualboo1 | sveakex:I have no idea what | 00:22 |
| s3a | voiici: k, thx :):D i never thot it would be possible | 00:22 |
| dualboo1 | it should be | 00:22 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: How is it you have two? Do you have two ethernet cards? | 00:23 |
| dualboo1 | I created its own parition | 00:23 |
| robbie`` | zim: did your wireless card work out of the box | 00:23 |
| robbie`` | CLI or not | 00:23 |
| sveakex | dualboo1: it looks like you installed grub on the wrong hard drive i mean | 00:23 |
| voidmage | I have a process i can't kill -9. How can I kill it? | 00:23 |
| zim | robbie``: no | 00:23 |
| voiici | Terabyte: check tcp/ip settings in windows if they are set to dhcp (automatic network connfig) or if you need to set things like ip-address, submask, etc by yourself | 00:23 |
| freewilly | just set other boot drive in bios | 00:23 |
| Terabyte | Steve-Cal, Striker Extreeme motherboard, it has 2 lan connectors on it, both of which work (only 1 of which is connected) | 00:23 |
| Ganandorf | ok guys whats the best torrent client for linux | 00:23 |
| dualboo1 | I don;t know what grub is | 00:23 |
| Ganandorf | i use ubuntu 8.4 | 00:23 |
| yeoj_ | voidmage, kill -KILL <procid> | 00:23 |
| robbie`` | zim: do you have a bc43xx ? | 00:23 |
| Terabyte | voiici: it is set to dchp | 00:23 |
| Auctionedllama | alan_m, I installed it, but I can't resize any of my partitions. Can you help/ | 00:23 |
| zim | yes | 00:23 |
| robbie`` | zim: how'd you get it to work | 00:23 |
| voidmage | yeoj_: that's the same as kill -9, which isn't working. I xkilled the process but it's still going. | 00:24 |
| sveakex | Ganandorf: transmission if you want a gtk (gnome), ktorrent for kde, and rtorrent for the terminal | 00:24 |
| lnar | hello, i cant enable DRI on my intel i810 i cant access to DRI with two users at the same time, does any one know how to do it?? | 00:24 |
| voidmage | yeoj_: only the window is destroyed | 00:24 |
| zim | robbie``: will find the howto I used | 00:24 |
| dualboo1 | I created a swap file and a ext2 partition | 00:24 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: OK, so you have them both set to DHCP, and you try each one individually (only one checked) and nothing works yet? | 00:24 |
| Terabyte | steve-cal correct | 00:24 |
| redshadowhero | I second the transmission one, too. | 00:24 |
| robbie`` | zim: thanks, i've tried about 4 of them so far but none work | 00:24 |
| voidmage | yeoj_: i even tried kill -9 it as root | 00:24 |
| Steve-cal | Terabyte: OK are you connected to a ADSL modem or some sort of cable box? | 00:24 |
| voiici | Terabyte: forget about that networking manager for a moment. go to a console and type dhclient eth0 . after that dhclient eth1. that would manualy try to get adresses for the networking interfaces from dhcp | 00:25 |
| yeoj_ | voidmage, hmm.. kill -9 as root is the same as kill -KILL as root? | 00:25 |
| voiici | the networking manager applet is buggy sometimes | 00:25 |
| Arrick | how does one install webmin if they download the debian .deb package? | 00:25 |

| bosanac | Hello people have some program for Ubuntu 7.10 like this one ( http://www.ultramixer.com/purchase/res/pics/ss1_pro_gr.jpg ) ? | 00:33 |
| xepra | everything is great, but I can't modify the number of workspaces on the second screen | 00:33 |
| m1r | after upgrade to 8.04 compiz stoped working. using ATI RV250 FireGL9000. any help appriciated. | 00:34 |
| dmsuperman_ | Nitricacid, then that _is_ what you need, you need to make the first permission column 7 (which means that local users can read write and execute) | 00:34 |
| xepra | the setting seems to be a gconf setting under apps/compiz/general/screen1 | 00:34 |
| xepra | but there is no screen1 | 00:34 |
| Ganandorf | whats the cost of the program | 00:34 |
| Ganandorf | bosanac: | 00:34 |
| xepra | and if I copy screen0, it doesn't show up in the gconf editor | 00:34 |
| voiici | 8.04 broke a lot of stuff. i think it's the most painful update yet | 00:34 |
| xepra | so I guess, how do I add the screen1 key to the gconf editor? | 00:34 |
| Nitricacid | dmsuperman_: i dont want other uses to do that though, so don't i want 747 or 707 or something? | 00:34 |
| theFATMAN | mlr: did you install the drivers? | 00:34 |

| bosanac | Ganandorf: dunno sry dude | 00:34 |
| dmsuperman_ | Nitricacid, if you want, you can make a launcher that executes "sudo gedit" and that will open a root file editor, but it's more logical and easier to just change permissions to allow your local user to access it | 00:34 |
| Terabyte | voiici: no luck | 00:35 |

| dmsuperman_ | Nitricacid, You want something like 755, that will allow you to modify it but others can only read and execute it | 00:35 |
| Mizfar | Could anyone tell me how I could bridge the eth0 and eth0:1 interfaces with each other, so computers on both networks can access each other. I would really appreciate the help. | 00:35 |

| theFATMAN | ]Dreame[: run your update manager | 01:07 |

| heirrook | over2seeu: if you didn't use lspci before that will be easier to browse through | 01:08 |

| blizzardman1219 | mbi0: you will have to put the .inf, .sys, and .bin folders into a folder in the home directory. then you will type cd nameoffolder in the terminal. finally in the terminal put sudo ndiswrapper -i nameofinffile.inf | 01:10 |
| Steve413z | oh, cause i used to have that problem | 01:10 |

| tanlaan | Steve413z: nvidia | 01:10 |
| blizzardman1219 | mbi0: to ensure that it worked you can use the command ndiswrapper -l and it should say something about the driver being active | 01:10 |

| ariqs | jrib: is it really that hard for someone to make it a debian package for me real quick? | 01:44 |
| ariqs | jrib: I have the source files | 01:44 |
| ariqs | jrib: I can't get them to compile without other uninstalled packages | 01:44 |
| ariqs | because linux is a nightmare like this | 01:44 |
| FloodBot1 | ariqs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:44 |

| Dillizar | which client lets you use your subtitles? | 01:44 |
| darrend | VSpike: sudo mount /boot && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:44 |
| darkomen | vlc | 01:44 |
| ariqs | http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/ltmodem-8.26a.tar.gz darkomen | 01:44 |
| Dillizar | doesnt | 01:44 |
| darkomen | lets you use subtitles | 01:44 |
| Dillizar | no | 01:45 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: yes it does | 01:45 |
| Dillizar | no | 01:45 |
| barbuj | i have a file with multiple records of the form "user,group", one per line; i need to generate a file that contains only one line per user, like "user,group1,group2,group3..." is this something that sed and/or awk can handle and if so, can someone give me some tips? | 01:45 |
| Broadcom | !username | 01:45 |
| ubottu | Please prefix what you're saying with a name to avoid confusion. See !tab | 01:45 |
| Dillizar | i tried Broadcom | 01:45 |
| Lynet | lolo2: Finding all the -dev packages you need is often the hardest job when compiling, so good luck. ;-) Actually, apt-get build-dep some_package_that_needs_ffmpeg should pull inn all the -dev packages you would need for ffmpeg. | 01:45 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: what did you try? | 01:45 |
| Dillizar | and some lines doesnt shows on the screen | 01:45 |
| jrib | ariqs: can't you use the binary packages on that page? | 01:45 |
| darkomen | maybe you have set it up with the wrong codec | 01:45 |
| darkomen | that could be it | 01:45 |
| Ganandorf | i would also like to know what application allows you to use a tv capture card | 01:45 |
| LineOf7s | I had two hard disks installed: one boot disk, one full of data (and Ubuntu). Boot info was on the first. It died. How do I get the boot information onto the second disk so I can boot into the full Ubuntu installation there? (pretty please) | 01:46 |
| darkomen | ariqs you can install alien and make a pkg out of an rpm package if you find one | 01:46 |
| Broadcom | go to open, fine the file, click use subtitles file, and find the file | 01:46 |
| ariqs | jrib: I get an error that kernel versions don't match | 01:46 |
| Dillizar | darkomen: there is codec and for subtitles | 01:46 |
| ariqs | i don't have the rpm package to do so | 01:46 |
| jrib | !dialup > ariqs (read the private message from ubottu) | 01:46 |
| jrib | ariqs: that might provide more info | 01:46 |
| voraistos | bloody hell i just tried mandriva: what a pile of crap ! after 4 hours of not being able to sort out the kded taking 100% cpu, I'm back :P | 01:46 |
| darkomen | dillizar did you create your own | 01:47 |
| lolo2 | lynet: ex apt-get bulid-dep vlc? | 01:47 |
| ariqs | jrib: I've already run scanmodem and all of that nonsense. This is hwy i know I need these friggin drivers ;P | 01:47 |
| darkomen | subtitles or you're trying to use a subtitle file | 01:47 |
| bazhang | language please voraistos | 01:47 |
| Dillizar | subtitle? darkomen?? NO | 01:47 |
| Templarian | how do i find my servers ip really fast? | 01:47 |
| darkomen | hmm | 01:47 |
| Broadcom | !language | 01:47 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:47 |
| Lynet | lolo2: Yeah. Although vlc is an absolute monster when it comes to all the dependencies it has. :-D | 01:47 |
| darkomen | weird I use it all the time to watch stuff with subtitles | 01:47 |
| Dillizar | hmmmmm file i think | 01:47 |
| darkomen | thank god for apt-get lol | 01:48 |
| jrib | ariqs: what dependencies don't you have to compile it? | 01:48 |
| darkomen | btw now that we're in this | 01:48 |
| voraistos | bazhang: that was good language compared to what's in my mind. honest :D | 01:48 |
| Templarian | whats the fastest way to get my ubuntu's server ip from terminal | 01:48 |
| Dillizar | .srt darkomen | 01:48 |
| darkomen | I have a legacy kyocera fs-3800 printer that I can connect directlly to my comp through a lan cable | 01:48 |
| heirrook | Templarian: ifconfig | 01:48 |
| ariqs | a handful jrib, I don't remember what. It was last night and took a break from it because it was driving me crazy | 01:48 |
| Broadcom | !prefix | darkomen | 01:49 |
| ubottu | darkomen: 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 :) | 01:49 |
| Dillizar | I have problems with my monitor and the resolution ??? | 01:49 |
| darkomen | when I switch my connection to wired I can print stuff and set it up but as soon as I switch back to the wireless network the ethernet port isnt accessed | 01:49 |
| Templarian | heirrook: is 192.168.0.101 my servers ip because that doesn't seem right? | 01:49 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: i don't think anybody knows the answer, please be patient. | 01:49 |
| heirrook | Templarian: that is your local ip | 01:50 |
| Dillizar | the ubuntu thinks i have a 15" how can i make him think diffirent | 01:50 |
| Templarian | 192.168.1.1 | 01:50 |
| Steve413z | Templarian, use a site like ipchicken.com to find out your real IP | 01:50 |
| Templarian | it doesn't say in the ifconfig thing | 01:50 |
| voraistos | Broadcom ? Are you related to broadcom corp. ? | 01:50 |
| darkomen | sorry | 01:50 |
| Steve413z | Templarian, you'll need to setup port forwarding on your router if you want to let the internet access it | 01:50 |
| jrib | ariqs: if you find out what they are, I can help you obtain them | 01:50 |
| Broadcom | voraistos: nope, i have my user name like that so if someone mentions one, it alerts me. | 01:51 |
| Templarian | Steve413z: I'm trying to set up a networked drive. and it says i need my server ip \\serverip\username | 01:51 |
| darkomen | Dillizar: is the name of the subtitle file EXACTLY the same as the file you're trying to play? | 01:51 |
| Deiz | I've just replaced my dead 8800GTS320 with a 9600GT, and am having issues getting Nvidia drivers working. Regardless of whether I install through EnvyNG or the .run from Nvidia, I get dumped to low graphics mode. | 01:51 |
| voraistos | Broadcom: cool :P Lots of people might curse you everyday though :P | 01:51 |
| Templarian | Steve413z: is the inet addr the server ip | 01:51 |
| Dillizar | no darkomen | 01:51 |
| Steve413z | Templarian, 192.168.0.101 should be right | 01:51 |
| Broadcom | voraistos: they do. :p | 01:51 |
| darkomen | Dillizar then that's your problem | 01:51 |
| heirrook | Templarian: are you behind a router? | 01:52 |
| janey | hello? :) | 01:52 |
| darkomen | Dillizar : you have to place it in the same directory and it has to be named EXACTLY as the video file you want to play | 01:52 |
| Lynet | Templarian: \\servername\sharename Are you trying to access it on the local network, or over the internet? | 01:52 |
| Killerklown | any of u guys use centerim>? | 01:52 |
| Dillizar | ok darkomen | 01:52 |
| voraistos | Broadcom: are the firmwares shipped the CD nowadays ? | 01:52 |
| bazhang | voraistos, no | 01:53 |
| Broadcom | voraistos: not really. it is a huge headache to get them to work | 01:53 |
| darkomen | Anyone here has a network printer directly attachedto his computer? | 01:53 |
| Killerklown | anyone use centerim? | 01:53 |
| Broadcom | !anyone | Killerklown | 01:53 |
| ubottu | Killerklown: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:53 |
| Templarian | Lynet: local | 01:53 |
| janey | anyone would like to help with sound issue on laptop? | 01:53 |

| ubottu | janey: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:54 |
| jrib | ariqs: from what I am reading, it seems you just need linux-hearders and build-essential (both of which are on the cd iirc). At least at one point in time. | 01:54 |
| Templarian | Lynet: my server is called ubuntu and the share name okay i'll try | 01:54 |
| voraistos | Broadcom: oh no, once you know, it's alright -well, my card works fine- It's just a pain to have to connect through wire to download this bloody firmware | 01:54 |
| m1r | after upgrade to 8.04 restricted drivers didnt offer upgrade of graphic card drivers only modem , so desktop effects are imposible to use. any tips how to fix this ? | 01:54 |
| voraistos | Broadcom: we need laws to ban them cards :P | 01:54 |
| darkomen | mlr: what video card you have? | 01:54 |
| phixxor | m1r, this bug affects me too :( | 01:54 |
| bazhang | voraistos, any support questions? or just wish to chat? | 01:55 |
| Broadcom | voraistos: it took me one line of code to get mine to work, but i have helped people hat have gone though hundreds and it has still not worked | 01:55 |

| Deiz | I've just replaced my dead 8800GTS320 with a 9600GT, and am having issues getting Nvidia drivers working. Regardless of whether I install through EnvyNG or the .run from Nvidia, I get dumped to low graphics mode. <- No ideas? | 01:55 |
| voraistos | nah not really looking for support. I can give some though. It's been a long time since i showed up here bazhang | 01:55 |
| janey | ubottu: i'm not getting any sound on my asus laptop,i've instaled ubuntu 8.04 | 01:56 |

| phixxor | hey can someone help me update my grub menu.lst with correct values for my new partition? | 01:56 |
| darkomen | Dillizar: that means the file you have is not the right one for the file you have. subtitles are timed to fit certain specific files since not everyone edits them the same way | 01:56 |
| phixxor | I don't know how to do it | 01:56 |
| voraistos | janey: stop abusing the bot, i doesnt have a brain :P | 01:56 |
| nosa-J | lol | 01:57 |
| darkomen | dillizar: there was this page, I forgot which one that had all the subtitles for the most common video files for movies and stuff on the internet | 01:57 |
| janey | sorry,i'm kinda slow,didn't get that one ;) | 01:57 |
| xtrender | i need help with svn.. can anybody help me?? | 01:57 |
| nosa-J | any one hear useing pidgen for irc? | 01:57 |
| ariqs | jrib: can I download linux-restricted , put it on my flash drive and put it in the other computer? | 01:57 |
| darkomen | dillizar: they're identified with the group that either encoded it or released it | 01:57 |
| Dillizar | i downnload it from there darkomen | 01:57 |
| xtrender | yes.. i'm pidgin for irc nosa-j | 01:57 |
| phixxor | nosa-J, I usually do but I'm using xchat today | 01:57 |
| Templarian | xtrender: i tried to set up svn a few minutes ago still trying to currently | 01:57 |
| jrib | Arrick: works fine here with default totem. Install ubuntu-restricted-extras maybe | 01:58 |
| voraistos | nosa-J i wouldn't recommend that, using pidgin for IRC is just not the right thing to do. not user friendly enough imho | 01:58 |
| jrib | ariqs: I believe it is on the repository on the CD. Check there first | 01:58 |
| Dillizar | darkomen: what should i set int the advance settings? | 01:58 |
| imjesus_1 | what happen with beryl | 01:58 |
| ariqs | nice, bbl. Thanks jrib | 01:58 |

| ubottu | imjesus_1: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 01:58 |
| darkomen | Dillizar: Then try finding one that has the name of the group that released your files. It happened to me once too with a shinobi subtitle | 01:58 |

| ubottu | phixxor: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:06 |
| Lynet | Templarian: You are trying to connect to it from vista, right? In vista, open a command line and type "ping ubuntu" (without quotes). If it finds an IP address then you have the right name. | 02:06 |
| phixxor | ahahaha | 02:06 |
| janey | hey: what helped me is that i pressed 'e' on my selected system,then first option 'e' again (for editing) and then change (hd1,0) into (hd0,0) then press 'b' | 02:06 |
| spent | can any one help me witha driver proble | 02:06 |
| jrib | spent: ask your actual question | 02:07 |
| Templarian | Lynet: it didn't ping | 02:07 |
| Starnestommy | HangukMiguk_: have you installed build-essential? | 02:07 |
| spent | jrib: do u now how to install this http://paste.ubuntu.com/13966/ | 02:07 |
| voraistos | in fact, you could use mplayer-cli, play some video through directfb with alsa sound and start thing: hmm cli rocks, i can play a video 3 seconds after power-on :D | 02:07 |
| notanonymous | i have a problem booting from the ubuntu 8.04 desktop liveCD (it says it has an IO error reading from CD, but I have tested successfully on my other PC) | 02:07 |
| Templarian | Lynet: is linux blocking it? i restarted samba like it said online and everything. | 02:07 |
| jrib | !wifi > spent (read the private message from ubottu) | 02:07 |
| Lynet | Templarian: Then either smbd/nmbd isn't running on the ubuntu box or there is some configuration snafu somewhere. | 02:08 |
| notanonymous | I need to boot from the cd in order to rebuild my grub partition (which is currupt) | 02:08 |
| HangukMiguk_ | starnestommy: apparently not -_-; | 02:08 |
| janey | voraistos: i dind't understand that - sorry :( | 02:08 |
| Templarian | Lynet: its a clean install of server ubuntu. lol. | 02:08 |
| Joshua_Cook | Hello, did anyone see my question earlier and have a suggestion? | 02:09 |
| spent | jrib: its in a cd nd i dont know how to install the files on the cd | 02:09 |
| HangukMiguk_ | Joshua_Cook: repost it | 02:09 |
| jrib | spent: when you put the cd in, it should ask you if you want to add it as a repository | 02:09 |
| Joshua_Cook | Ok, here goes: Ok, I have a script that is pasted to : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13964/ It calls another script which is pasted to: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13963/ The problem I am having is this: when I run this from crontab, it seems to work once. I have it scheduled to run once a day. When it runs the next day, it just doesn't restart. I can't seem to figure out why. Thanks for any help! | 02:09 |
| Lynet | Templarian: Well, it should work if you have smbd/nmbd running and you have configured the share(s) right. | 02:09 |
| Templarian | do i have to install nmbd? | 02:10 |
| HangukMiguk_ | starnestommy: fixed it. thanks | 02:10 |
| Joshua_Cook | My crontab is run as root and looks like: | 02:10 |
| Joshua_Cook | My crontab line looks like this: 0 4 * * * /home/jdcook/holdmusic.pl & | 02:10 |
| Templarian | Lynet: i never installed nmbd | 02:10 |
| jrib | spent: oh sorry, I thought you were someone else. If it's not a .deb, then you should check ubottu's link for your wireless card. It will give you ubuntu-specific instructions | 02:10 |
| voraistos | janey: what you could try is: install mplayer-cli, read the mplayer man page (man mplayer), kill the xserver (so no graphical user interface running) and see if the sound works by playing some file with mplayer | 02:10 |
| phixxor | hey, if I have a manually edited menu.lst, will "update-grub" mess it up? | 02:10 |
| Over2seeu | hey everyone | 02:10 |
| jrib | Joshua_Cook: you haven't actually asked a question yet | 02:10 |
| Templarian | Lynet: nor do i know what it is online it said to only install samba | 02:10 |
| Lynet | Templarian: It's part of samba so I'm sure you have it. ;-) | 02:10 |
| notanonymous | is there something like ubuntu server's fix broken install option in ubuntu desktop livecd? | 02:10 |
| Templarian | Lynet: do i have to restart my server completely for it to work? | 02:11 |
| Over2seeu | I need help finding drivers for an Atheros AR5007EG B/G wireless card. Anyone know where I can get it? | 02:11 |
| voraistos | uh... anyone knows how to burn a cd image on a dvd with k3b? it wont let me :O | 02:11 |
| spent | jrib: its a tar.gz file and i dont know how to install it it gives me the instructions i just dont get them | 02:11 |
| heirrook | over2seeu: mad-wifi | 02:11 |
| janey | voraistos: so you think it might be that the player is the problem? | 02:11 |
| Templarian | Lynet: its going through 2 routers but that shouldn't do anything should it? | 02:11 |
| Over2seeu | ok | 02:11 |
| pteague | oh brother... he hasn't even finished installing ubuntu yet... gee, no wonder he's having problems getting the linksys wireless card to work :) | 02:11 |
| Over2seeu | thanks | 02:11 |
| ariqs | jrib: I see that there, but in it is only one .deb package and it's for isdn modems | 02:11 |
| Lynet | Templarian: Nope. Reboot is not the Linux Way(TM). You should only have to (re)start the samba service. | 02:11 |
| jrib | spent: did you read what I just said about ubottu's link? | 02:11 |
| Joshua_Cook | Ok, I have a script that is pasted to : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13964/ It calls another script which is pasted to: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13963/ The problem I am having is this: when I run this from crontab, it seems to work once. I have it scheduled to run once a day. When it runs the next day, it just doesn't restart. Why does this script not restart the mplayer process? It is run as... | 02:12 |
| Joshua_Cook | ...root from a crontab. That line looks like: 0 4 * * * /home/jdcook/holdmusic.pl & | 02:12 |
| Templarian | Lynet: and routers shouldn't mess it up its a server... its made to work with them | 02:12 |
| voraistos | janey: no, but there could be some program that runs with the graphical user interface breaking your sound support | 02:12 |
| HangukMiguk_ | Joshua_Cook: which script won't run on the 2nd day? first or second? | 02:12 |
| ariqs | jrib: you see the right ltmodem package there? | 02:12 |
| jrib | ariqs: how are you determining that? The bug report seemed to indicate that it included the module you wanted. | 02:12 |
| navk2005 | why is quakenet so annoying :-/ | 02:12 |
| Lynet | Templarian: They're not on the same ethernet? You have a router in the middle? | 02:12 |
| navk2005 | when i try to join quakenet channel, xchat hangs up | 02:12 |
| Joshua_Cook | HangukMiguk: The first one calls the second one. It's the first one. | 02:13 |
| ariqs | under the package description or something, hold on, let me bring the cd in here | 02:13 |
| Packerfan | Anyone have ideas on how to cause xorg not to use up 50%+ of my cpu | 02:13 |
| voraistos | janey: dont forget to apt-get update (then upgrade and dist-upgrade), there could be a bug too. | 02:13 |
| Templarian | Lynet: yes my updstairs splits the internet should i have used a switch instead? | 02:13 |
| Templarian | Lynet: its Modem -> router -> router ->ubuntu server | 02:13 |
| janey | voraistos: sorry but i'm totally fresh to linux and all this sounds too complicated right now | 02:13 |
| janey | i don't think i know how to do all that | 02:14 |
| nosa-J | take it one steep at a time | 02:14 |

| fxr | hi i have installed the NVIDIA driver from their website, but nvidia-settings is only seeing one monitor.. anyone any idea how to fix that? | 02:15 |
| voraistos | janey: go in a terminal. type "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". this will just make sure everything is up-to-date, and correct any possible bugs | 02:15 |
| jrib | ariqs: what is the name of the package you are looking at? | 02:15 |
| janey | i mean,everything else works so nicely,to my surprise..i had few issues like with dual booting and partitioning but it all worked out weell -all but sound | 02:15 |
| luderacer | larson9999, do u see the search bar near the top right had corner? | 02:15 |
| janey | voraistos: got that one,thnx!! :) i go try | 02:16 |
| nosa-J | gl janey | 02:16 |
| ariqs | drivers for lt winmodem, jrib | 02:16 |
| voraistos | janey: also, this is linux, but rebooting may help. | 02:16 |
| jrib | ariqs: no, what package are you looking at on the cd | 02:16 |
| larson9999 | luderacer, yeah, that's google. | 02:16 |
| nosa-J | rebooting does help sometimes | 02:16 |
| janey | i don't even know the nr how many time i rebooted ;) | 02:16 |
| Packerfan | xorg is using around 50%+ cpu, i have an ATI 9250 pci card and no drivers seem to work for it, i have tried open source and ati drivers and neither worked | 02:16 |
| jrib | ariqs: because linux-restricted-modules contains a lot more than what you just described | 02:16 |
| luderacer | uses google here for me | 02:16 |
| luderacer | ;) | 02:16 |
| luderacer | once its set there | 02:16 |
| ariqs | jrib: I checked both my pressed cd and my iso image.. | 02:16 |
| voraistos | janey: you may need to install codecs too. mp3 support does not come with a fresh install | 02:17 |
| jrib | ariqs: you aren't answering my question :/ | 02:17 |
| ariqs | pool/restricted/ | 02:17 |
| janey | and talking aobut rbbooting - there's a funny thing: starts up the system,i get the ubuntu screen with the orange line,stops after a second - then i have to count to 30 EXACTLY,hold Esc until it starts moving againg and that | 02:17 |
| larson9999 | luderacer, doesn't for me. that search does use google but not the address bar searches with yahoo. | 02:17 |
| jrib | ariqs: ... what is listed there? | 02:17 |
| ariqs | d l s | 02:17 |
| nosa-J | mp3 is cheep any ways imo voraistos | 02:17 |
| janey | is the only way to boot up!?!?! how funnuy is that? any cure you think? | 02:17 |
| luderacer | thats werid both searches threw google for me | 02:17 |

| nosa-J | frams p sec | 02:20 |
| voraistos | janey: if you were talking about your boot problem, i suspect you mean press enter, select your OS of choice (dual booting ?) the PRESS ENTER (so you dont have to wait 30 seconds ?) | 02:20 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: have you tried simply chaning the resolution? | 02:20 |
| hey | Starnestommy do you know how to undo the fedora overwriting the ubuntu's grub?/ | 02:20 |
| jrib | ariqs: so it's not all on the cd I guess. You could get around this either by downloading the debs or downloading the dvd and using the repository there | 02:20 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: i know what is the problem i cant fix it by my self | 02:20 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: what is the problem? | 02:21 |
| nosa-J | hey: install fedora first :) | 02:21 |
| ariqs | what debs do I want, jrib? | 02:21 |
| Abd67 | night all | 02:21 |
| jrib | ariqs: check packages.ubuntu.com (you'll have to resolve dependencies yourself) | 02:21 |

| Ubuntong | Is there a difference between Wine and Wine CVS? | 02:22 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Hey guys, does anyone know if there is a channel for firestarter? | 02:22 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: as i remeber he said it was something with my monitor horizonts and the verticals | 02:22 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: what happens when you change the screen resolution? | 02:23 |
| reya276 | need to fix this msg: E: Broken Packages | 02:23 |
| nosa-J | hey: thats just what i would resort to if i couldnt sort out grub | 02:23 |
| VSpike | problem i have is that the server kernel won't boot on my machine | 02:23 |
| Light- | <Ubuntong> Is there a difference between Wine and Wine CVS? <-- go for wine packages | 02:23 |
| WhoNeedszzz | hey tritium | 02:23 |
| Broadcom | !firestarter | 02:23 |
| 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). | 02:23 |
| Dillizar | the screen goes wild Broadcom | 02:23 |
| janey | voraistos: no,i go past that,after,you know when the orange bar starts moving back and forth? | 02:23 |
| Starnestommy | Ubuntong: I think wine cvs is the build of wine from the cvs repositories which is less stable and likely to be very buggy | 02:23 |
| jrib | reya276: pastebin the whole message including the command that resulted in it | 02:23 |
| eisenhower | Does anyone know how to view rar comments in ubuntu? | 02:23 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Broadcom: unfortunately that didn't answer my question | 02:23 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: define wild | 02:23 |
| Broadcom | WhoNeedszzz: i see, it seems not to, it would say, just ask here | 02:24 |
| Ubuntong | Thanks, Light ans Starnestommy! | 02:24 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: like there isnt any programs on the tv?? | 02:24 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Broadcom: ask here? | 02:24 |
| Liquid-A | Anyone got an idea how a 320GiB internal IDE drive, disappears on ubuntu? | 02:24 |
| mark__ | hi, my I am trying to burn a DVD data disk but I keep getting "Unhandled error, aborting" the moment I click the burn button. I have already tried reinstalling all DVD related packages in Synaptic. Any suggestions? | 02:24 |
| Dillizar | pictures are mixed and stuff Broadcom | 02:24 |
| Broadcom | WhoNeedszzz: it is an ubuntu program isn't it? | 02:24 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: it failed, or for some reason its not getting mounted | 02:24 |
| reya276 | jrib: it did not install anything, my dumb AZZ did this sudo apt-get install gtk+* and then a bunch of things came up but none installed | 02:24 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Broadcom: true | 02:24 |
| Dillizar | and and i cant change the right Hz Broadcom | 02:25 |
| Liquid-A | So how do I over come this problem? | 02:25 |
| reya276 | LOL | 02:25 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: mixed and stuff? you will have to be more specific | 02:25 |
| mdh76 | reya276, the * was probably interpreted as a shell wildcard...no? | 02:25 |
| Y | Liquid-A: Is the drive compatible with Ubuntu? Do you have the drivers installed? | 02:25 |
| reya276 | jrib: but then E: Broken packages came up afterwards | 02:25 |
| reya276 | yeap | 02:25 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: mount it manually. you will need to know its filesystem and what its called in /dev . can you please post the result of "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" onto pastebin.ubuntu.com | 02:25 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Ok so I have a server running through apache2 and i want all connections let through for apache2. I put in allow port 80 for everyone and yet it still blocks connections to the server | 02:26 |
| reya276 | mdh76: yeap, Si | 02:26 |
| Light- | Y: Its a IDE hard drive, it should not need any specific drivers | 02:26 |
| mdh76 | reya276, you can't apt-get install using wildcards like that... unfortunately. its expanding files in your current directory, not package names | 02:26 |
| Over2seeu | hierrook: that didn't work. it downloaded the zip. what do I do after that? | 02:27 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: be more specific | 02:27 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: hmmmmm well i cant see anything !!! there isnt piture just some colors | 02:27 |
| reya276 | mdh76: so is my system messed up? | 02:27 |
| Y | Light-: My bad, I looked real fast and thought he was talking about a DVD drive. =O It's my bad. | 02:27 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: why did you say it thinks you have a 15"? | 02:27 |
| Dillizar | cuz | 02:27 |
| Light- | Y: lol np | 02:27 |
| mdh76 | reya276, probably not.. it most likely didn't find any useful packages to install =) | 02:27 |
| Liquid-A | It was working, I was using it mid-session, then it disappeared. I rebooted, checked BIOS to make sure it was actually there, and it was. but when I booted, nothing was there. | 02:27 |
| Starnestommy | WhoNeedszzz: you might need to add "Listen 80" to /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 02:27 |
| reya276 | mdh76: I actually need to install gtk+-2.10 | 02:28 |
| Dillizar | when i try to chane the resolution the picture of the monitor has a 15" in it | 02:28 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: do what I just told you | 02:28 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: I did, the server works, it just isn't allowing connections | 02:28 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: to outside connections | 02:28 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: wanna send you a screen shot | 02:28 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: i thought all you can see is some colors | 02:28 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: sure | 02:28 |
| mdh76 | reya276, best thing to do is "apt-cache search gtk" to get a list of package names | 02:28 |
| larson9999 | i even removed .mozilla. still using yahoo for firefoxes url searches :( | 02:28 |
| Starnestommy | WhoNeedszzz: did you remember to restart the server? Also, are you behind a router? | 02:28 |
| Liquid-A | root@keiran-desktop:~# gedit /etc/fstab || cannot open display: | 02:28 |
| mdh76 | reya276, then apt-get install xxxx | 02:28 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: are you in a graphical environment? | 02:29 |
| jrib | Liquid-A: how did you become root? | 02:29 |
| Liquid-A | KDE | 02:29 |
| mdh76 | reya276, just use the mouse to cut & paste package names | 02:29 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: yes i did. And yes i am behind a router. And yes i forwarded the port. It works if i add the outside ip to the allowed connection list | 02:29 |
| sanzanric | use sudo -s | 02:29 |
| Liquid-A | Using the root terminal option in Konsole... | 02:29 |
| sanzanric | or sudo su | 02:29 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: oh, umm... dunno what the KDe version of gedit is... try "nano /etc/fstab" | 02:29 |
| sanzanric | or sudo bash | 02:29 |
| Nomi | I only see a command like window that asks for username and password. How do I get back to GNome desktop from there? | 02:29 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: I don't want to have to add the ip of the outside connection for it to work | 02:29 |
| sanzanric | kate | 02:29 |
| sanzanric | startx | 02:30 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: get it | 02:30 |
| jrib | Liquid-A: ugh, don't do that if you want to run graphical apps. Just do kdesu kate or whatever from a normal shell | 02:30 |
| Starnestommy | WhoNeedszzz: I think fixing that depends on your router | 02:30 |
| Broadcom | Nomi: hit crtl + alt + f7 | 02:30 |
| sanzanric | nomi: startx | 02:30 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: how? | 02:30 |
| reya276 | mdh76: but there is no package name gtk+ 2.10? | 02:30 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: port 80 is open on my router... | 02:30 |
| Dillizar | aaa dcc? | 02:30 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: "cat /etc/fstab" works too | 02:30 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: did you mean got? | 02:30 |
| kgwillow | Ok I edit my xorg file and got it to recognize my i810 intel extreme graphics 2 video chipset. But now it's stuck in a different resolution. I'm trying to get it to 1280x1024. Here is my xorg http://pastebin.com/f6cffd46 any help would be appreciated. | 02:30 |

| Light- | Liquid-A: also, pop your case and check all cables are connected correctly | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | WhoNeedszzz: did you set it to allow all IP addresses on port 80? | 02:32 |
| mdh76 | reya276, apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev | 02:32 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: lulwut, httpd is the http daemon | 02:32 |
| Liquid-A | Light-: Thats the name of the drive. | 02:33 |
| Liquid-A | I should know. | 02:33 |
| Liquid-A | I called it that. | 02:33 |
| Light- | oh | 02:33 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: yes that's what i said... | 02:33 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: well, it wont be called that in /dev, itd be something like /dev/hda or /dev/sda | 02:33 |
| Starnestommy | WhoNeedszzz: where is the allowed connection list? | 02:33 |

| ksweeley | Hello, I have a problem with Ubuntu 8.04. I just installed 8.04 and it's not picking up my sound card and I have no sound at all, my sound card is a Sound Blaster X-Fi. | 02:34 |
| mdh76 | reya276, ubuntu splits the C header files needed for compiling from the binary library package since end-users generally don't need to waste space with these development files | 02:34 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: which link i should send ?? | 02:34 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: is it formatted as ext3? | 02:34 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Starnestommy: under "Allow Service" | 02:34 |
| scifiguy951 | whats good all? | 02:34 |
| reya276 | mdh76: got yah, thanks | 02:34 |
| janey | kweeley: i have the same problem - looking for a solution still :( | 02:34 |
| mdh76 | reya276, its the same for every library, not just gtk btw | 02:34 |
| Liquid-A | It was working, because I used it less than 5 hours ago. | 02:34 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: upload it and give me the link to the photo | 02:34 |
| mdh76 | reya276, did you also apt-get install build-essentials ? | 02:34 |
| Starnestommy | WhoNeedszzz: I'm not sure how to fix it | 02:34 |
| scifiguy951 | is there a way to get into other pcs on my network? | 02:34 |
| ksweeley | janey: Wow, it's crazy, I thought that 8.04 supports Sound Blaster X-Fi cards. | 02:35 |

| reya276 | mdh76: no, and I just got an error too | 02:35 |
| janey | ksweeley: i have integrated media card on my asus laptop Sis SI7012 | 02:35 |
| Liquid-A | Im not sure, but It didnt say anything about formatting it to ext3 when I was I/O'ing data on it... | 02:35 |
| ksweeley | Janey: Oh okay. | 02:36 |
| reya276 | mdh76: E: Couldn't find package build-essentials | 02:36 |
| nosa-J | does anyone know what would cause a irc server to time out when trying to connect to it? ive connected to it before fine with pidgen, xchat, and mirc but it olny last for a day or a few hours then i get disconnected, not to advertise or any thing but its irc.dashhacks.com has any one had this error? im not sure if it's something to do with ubuntu or not, any help would be greatly appreciated :) | 02:36 |

| mdh76 | reya276, that's my mistake, its build-essential (singular, not plural) | 02:36 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: try "sudo mkdir /media/httpd" then "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb /media/httpd" | 02:36 |

| Nitricacid | Anyone here use kate as a text editor I could use some help with configging it. Also Guido shot first. | 02:36 |
| reya276 | mdh76: build-essential is already the newest version. | 02:36 |
| mdh76 | reya276, sweet. just making sure =) | 02:37 |
| Light- | Liquid-A: It is a separate drive right, not a partition? | 02:37 |
| ksweeley | Could anyone help me get sound within 8.04? | 02:37 |
| mark__ | the 4gig file is smaller then the disk, so why can't I burn it? | 02:37 |
| Broadcom | Dillizar: looks ok to me. Does it just not fill up your screen? | 02:37 |
| reya276 | mdh76: yet I'm still getting "configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora" | 02:37 |
| Dillizar | nooooo | 02:37 |
| reya276 | mdh76: even though I just installed it | 02:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | So is there a firestarter guru in here? | 02:37 |
| Dillizar | this one is bout the 15" Broadcom | 02:37 |
| Liquid-A | Its a whole drive to itself, all 320GiB's (and in response to the commands you told me to type... mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist) | 02:37 |
| mdh76 | reya276, you may need to "make distclean" or similar to get rid of the configure.cache | 02:37 |
| Light- | ksweely: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78495 | 02:37 |

| Dillizar | yes but i dont have 15" | 02:39 |

| dug_ | woli: you want to disable the system beep? | 02:48 |
| woli | i bet even mac has a registry | 02:48 |
| Flannel | Liquid-A: Well, you need to partition it, so fire up a partitioner (gparted) and partition/format etc, then you can mount it, and add it to your fstab/etc | 02:49 |
| mdh76 | scifiguy951, several times something overwrote my /etc/hosts file and sudo refused to work, so all config stuff was broken. | 02:49 |
| woli | dug_ i want to launch a sound when system beep is launched | 02:49 |
| snarkste2 | yes use the --force option but thats dumb | 02:49 |
| Liquid-A | Right, so partition without loosing data? Is that possible? | 02:49 |
| larson9999 | woli, i've been using ubuntu for years. i know it's regitstry. just don't like it. | 02:49 |
| Flannel | woli: gconf is not Ubuntus registry. Where do you want the beep? is this in a terminal, or what? | 02:49 |
| Dillizar | Broadcom: 105 its for 15'' and 107 its for 17'' | 02:49 |

| Jack_Sparrow | __aib not the best choice.. | 02:49 |
| Flannel | Liquid-A: If its unpartitioned, you have no data on it. | 02:49 |

| VSpike | It says "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0 :6" "Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU." | 02:51 |
| ksweeley | Light: How do I get OSS to run in Ubuntu 8.04? | 02:51 |
| VSpike | Flannel: ^ | 02:51 |
| WhoNeedszzz | oh then nvm say it here | 02:51 |
| jm2k | dug_: wouldnt && work ? | 02:51 |
| Light- | Vspike: are you trying to run 64bit on a 32bit cpu? | 02:51 |
| Flannel | VSpike: try the alternate CD instead of the server CD. It supports more general-computer hardware | 02:51 |
| q_a_z_steve | !OSS | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Factoid oss not found | 02:51 |
| Light- | ksweely: use ALSA | 02:51 |
| jm2k | i did piping ubt didnt work either. | 02:51 |
| WhoNeedszzz | what are you trying to do Nitricaci1? | 02:51 |
| Nitricaci1 | run a Lamp server | 02:51 |
| q_a_z_steve | ksweeley: OSS what? | 02:51 |
| VSpike | Flannel: is this hardware just too old? | 02:51 |
| woli | well, does anybody know the answer to my question | 02:51 |
| ksweeley | Light: ALSA does not support my soundcard, OSS does.' | 02:52 |
| woli | ? | 02:52 |
| WhoNeedszzz | ok so exactly the same as me | 02:52 |
| Nitricaci1 | mine is working fine though | 02:52 |
| VSpike | Light-: nope, it's not a 64 bit cd | 02:52 |
| Nitricaci1 | i just changed the port | 02:52 |
| Nitricaci1 | and im all set | 02:52 |
| Flannel | VSpike: No, the server CD is geared towards "real" servers. The generic kernel supports more hardware | 02:52 |
| WhoNeedszzz | oh? | 02:52 |
| Light- | Vspike: dunno then | 02:52 |
| Nitricaci1 | thats what i was gonna say in pm | 02:52 |
| dug_ | WhoNeedszzz, Nitricaci1: can't help with firestarter, but an alternative for servers especially is shorewall, see: http://edtechdev.blogspot.com/2007/11/quickly-setting-up-and-securing-ubuntu.html | 02:52 |
| Nitricaci1 | but then you never responded :-x | 02:52 |
| VSpike | Flannel: rats, that means i gotta download it :) | 02:52 |
| Scared | How do I find the IP that I can use to see my apache site from my laptop that is on the same network? | 02:52 |
| Light- | ksweely: sorry cant help you, ive never used OSS as my sound card is supported in ALSA | 02:52 |
| VSpike | Flannel: there's no way to install the generic kernel on this install? | 02:52 |
| Flannel | VSpike: You could always download the minimal ISO, which is 8mb, of course thenyou've gotta download all the packages at install time. | 02:53 |
| Nitricaci1 | Scared ifconfig on the apache machine | 02:53 |
| Broadcom | Scared ifconfig | 02:53 |
| Scared | kk thanks. | 02:53 |
| afallenhope | anyone know where I can get the driver for my LG 8600 phone? | 02:53 |
| Flannel | VSpike: I... don't think so. Let me check. | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Nitricaci1: oh are you the same as Nitricacid? | 02:53 |
| Nitricaci1 | yea | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | oh | 02:53 |
| ksweeley | q_a_z_steve: OSS 4.0-1015 for AMD64 build. | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | u never responded to me | 02:53 |
| Nitricaci1 | for some reason it booted me | 02:53 |
| Nitricaci1 | yea it booted me | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | ah | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | ok | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | oh so a ghost | 02:53 |
| WhoNeedszzz | ok then i will change the port | 02:53 |

| crimsun | ksweeley: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base, and choose to blacklist ALSA | 02:54 |
| Flannel | VSpike: there may be, yes. That CD does have the generic kernel on it. Try checking out the different menus at boot. | 02:54 |
| q_a_z_steve | why did they separate "liveCD mode" and "install"? | 02:54 |

| ksweeley | crimsun: I'm new to Ubuntu, how do I set gstreamer to use OSS? | 02:55 |
| Flannel | q_a_z_steve: the Desktop CD is a liveCD, with an installer on it. The alternate CD is the old "Installer" CD, which is just debinstaller. | 02:55 |
| q_a_z_steve | or can you install from the GUI? | 02:55 |

| dug_ | or just play around and ask here if something breaks | 03:11 |
| deuryte | mdh76: well, not sure but am finding out through certain articles that if an os was not posix conformant, than it was only compliant wich means its compatability is hindered when concidering adding additional software | 03:11 |
| JackWon1 | i don't know how to using the terminal | 03:11 |
| crimsun | ksweeley: which error? It's best to ask on Creative's forum(s) | 03:11 |
| mdh76 | deuryte that's probably posix.1 in which case you've been safe for decades with Linux | 03:11 |
| afallenhope | anyone know where the "/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap" is? | 03:12 |
| ksweeley | crimsun: I extracted the folder onto the desktop, what do I do to try the install? | 03:12 |
| afallenhope | lol. like.. it's not there.. | 03:12 |
| afallenhope | the /etc/hotplug is not there | 03:12 |

| dug_ | JackWon1: here are some tutorials on using the terminal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 and brightness i usually adjust using the knobs on the monitor itself | 03:13 |
| imjesus_1 | is their a program that is like publisher | 03:13 |

| ksweeley | Installation Unsuccessful" | 03:14 |
| dug_ | ksweeley: "cd" into the folder with the makefile first, then run ./configure or make or whatever | 03:15 |
| Liquid-A | so does anyone have an idea how an NTFS drive is usable for 3 days, and then suddently turns unusable? | 03:15 |
| cycom | Liquid-A: the drive failed... | 03:15 |
| Liquid-A | cycom: Define "Failed" | 03:15 |
| mdh76 | deuryte, 1b defines RTOS extensions and 1c threading extensions... obviously parts of both are fully implemented though I'm not sure if either is fully. | 03:16 |
| cycom | Liquid-A: hardware issue... | 03:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Liquid-A Windows locked it down...? | 03:16 |
| Liquid-A | cycom: Detected by BIOS, and is usable in windows. | 03:16 |

| mdh76 | deuryte, there are some linux distributions like LynxOS that fully implement 1,1b&1c | 03:16 |

| getoo | i am dualbooting , is it possible to run a windows app (ie. yahoo messanger) in ubuntu . i am using hardy | 03:17 |
| deuryte | mdh76: i saw that | 03:17 |
| smallfoot- | i have dualcore, 4gb ram, i want watch a porno in flash, and i press fullscreen, and it lags, why? | 03:17 |
| smallfoot- | in window mode, it dont lag, but in fullscreen it is lag | 03:17 |
| deuryte | mdh76: what exactly is linxOS used for? | 03:18 |
| cycom | getoo: just use Pidgin. I'm pretty sure it can do yahoo messenger | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | getoo not from your windows install but in wine or vbox etc | 03:18 |
| zelrikriando | getoo, you can use you msn/yahoo/icq whatever accounts with pidgin on linux | 03:18 |
| mdh76 | deuryte, the glibc manual might talk more about 1c | 03:18 |
| getoo | cycom: wont do chatrooms | 03:18 |
| ksweeley | I went through the install script for the Creative driver and I get: "install error 2" | 03:18 |
| Liquid-A | cycom: The latter sounds like a possibility, but its a non-essential disk, it doesnt get booted from, but Ubuntu seriously crashed before, the whole screen locked, nothing would move. So it was impossible for me to shut it down any other way. | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | getoo Yes pidgin can connect to yahoo im friends | 03:18 |
| dug_ | smallfoot-: you need a restricted 3d driver to watch your porn better :) | 03:18 |
| mdh76 | deuryte, LynxOS looks like its targetting the embedded market - POS terminals, ATMs etc | 03:18 |

| Liquid-A | That means releasing the devil from his cage... | 03:19 |
| puff | I'd like to set up specific hardware partitions, not one big LVM partition. Does "guided" permit that, or should I do it manually? | 03:19 |
| Liquid-A | :( | 03:19 |
| deuryte | mdh76: more of a universal security kernel ? proprietory to privacy ?? | 03:19 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, you need to create it. I threw mine into /etc | 03:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | puff yes guided will let you make partitions / , /home/ usr all you want | 03:20 |
| ksweeley | Can anyone help, when I ran the install script, I got an error 2 with the X-Fi beta drivers? | 03:20 |
| getoo | zelrikriando: i used zinc for a while , same with zinc | 03:21 |
| DJ_Cranky | JackWon1 what can i do for you | 03:21 |
| blizzardman1219[ | mdh76: how does one create it? | 03:21 |
| deuryte | mdh76: c ya | 03:21 |
| puff | Jack_Sparrow: Ah, okay, because when I selected "guided", it didn't put up a partitioning interface. | 03:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puff do manual | 03:21 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, just copy the sample one there, or make your own using a text editor | 03:21 |
| zelrikriando | getoo, cant you use xchat? | 03:21 |
| getoo | zelrikriando: is xchat doing chatrooms in yahoo ? | 03:22 |
| DJ_Cranky | puff Jack_Sparrow just a suggestion, if using live CD i prefer to use gparted before i launch installer | 03:22 |
| getoo | I'm using ERC Version 5.2 with GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-05-03. | 03:22 |
| === kyle1 is now known as KHAnet | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky same difference, gparted is run as part of manual partiutioning during the install | 03:22 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, I made my own with "vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" | 03:23 |
| Athenon | what does the "install inside windows" installation do exactly? | 03:23 |
| puff | DJ_Cranky: Any advice on partitioning? Mainly I want to have different hardware partitions for the install vs. the user data. | 03:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Athenon read the faq on wubi... not my choice of installation options | 03:24 |
| === svensko is now known as svensk1 | ||
| getoo | i used linux for like 10 years , i do not know how to use vi ;-) i use emacs | 03:24 |
| getoo | heh | 03:24 |
| === silverpower_ is now known as silverpower | ||
| puff | DJ_Cranky: To make it easier to reinstall without having to shuffle user data around. | 03:24 |
| zelrikriando | getoo, I dont know....google is there for that... | 03:24 |
| getoo | true zelrikriando , thanx | 03:24 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, it makes a ext2 fs on a file stored on an existing NTFS partition, then sets up a boot entry into ntldr that'll start grub and load linux using that loopback filesystem thing | 03:24 |
| JackWon1 | hi anyone willing to guide me i'm newbie for Linux - Ubuntu! | 03:24 |
| puff | getoo: But of course, "vi vi vi" == "666", QED vi is obviously The Editor Of The Beast. | 03:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puff you want / "root" /home swap ... and a spare data | 03:24 |
| DJ_Cranky | puff well, i would make an extended partition for the ext3 and swap together, and maybe make a big NTFS or FAT32 and mount it as /home | 03:24 |
| Athenon | mdh76: hmm, doesn't sound like TOO bad of a deal...why don't people like it? | 03:25 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> no problem | 03:25 |
| Stephenishere | dj_cranky, just curious did you get my /msg? | 03:25 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, it unfortunately didn't do what I hoped... let me run linux inside windows ;) So I ended up uninstalling that one and doing a proper install | 03:25 |
| getoo | "vi vi vi " = " veni vidi vici" @ puff | 03:25 |
| getoo | not for me tho | 03:25 |
| puff | DJ_Cranky: Hm? | 03:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky ntfs or fat32 as /home ? What about permissions? | 03:25 |
| Stephenishere | i came , i saw, i conquered? | 03:25 |
| blizzardman1219[ | mdh76: it says i don't have permission to save the file | 03:25 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, its a heck of a lot slower than a raw filesystem, and you still need to reboot into it to use it | 03:25 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> what u need? | 03:25 |
| getoo | Stephenishere: yes | 03:25 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, oh, yeah, you need to be root to do it. sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 03:26 |
| hojpoj | Hello | 03:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky If you are running that now, I want to see your fdsik -l and fstab | 03:26 |
| Athenon | mdh76: yeah. but if you mess up, you can just delete the ext2 fs file and all is bueno, right? | 03:26 |
| JackWon1 | hi lnar | 03:26 |
| Stephenishere | getoo: can you see my private msgs? | 03:26 |
| hojpoj | I'm having a hard time getting bootlogd working as it should. | 03:26 |
| JackWon1 | could i chati with you directly? | 03:26 |
| getoo | Stephenishere: let me check it | 03:26 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> how u doin, what are u tryin to do with ubuntu | 03:26 |
| illriginal | anyone know twonkyvision or mediatomb? Which is better? | 03:26 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, sure. (well.. use the uninstall option in the control panel, don't just delete random files) | 03:26 |
| JackWon1 | as a newbie do you have guidelines? | 03:27 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow not on this current machine, and the /home can be ext3 as well, its just i also dual boot with windows, so its good to be able to share data | 03:27 |
| hojpoj | bootlogd is not showing me all the boot info | 03:27 |
| JackWon1 | where should i start? | 03:27 |
| puff | Jack_Sparrow: That's the basic idea... On another box, I have /usr under a separate partition, I'm not sure why I did that at the time... maybe that's where a lot of not-/home user data is kept. | 03:27 |
| JackWon1 | i would like to learn the command of terminal | 03:27 |
| tang | hello | 03:27 |
| hojpoj | %B Hello? | 03:27 |
| Athenon | mdh76: nod. so stupid question...last time ubuntu messed up on me, it hung in the middle of a java installation and i was forced to reboot with the hard drive still working and it messed the whole hard drive up...with a wubi installation, would it be the same way? | 03:27 |
| JackWon1 | i don't understand what is tar...rpm... apt-cache... | 03:27 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow then i have my windows user profile stored on that same drive, so all the data is os independent and shared | 03:27 |
| JackWon1 | how do i use in in Ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky ext3 for home is fine.. but ntfs or fat32... never seen anyone set up a system with that.. ever. | 03:28 |
| puff | What's the word on newer file system types? E.g. journaling, etc? | 03:28 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> well...i would search in google for some guides about linux itself, then a guide in ubuntu | 03:28 |
| Athenon | Jack_Sparrow: tar is an archive file, like zip......rpm is a redhat package, and apt-cache....im not 100% sure. | 03:28 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow hmm.. maybe i am using xfs? it is something that windows can read as well, i know that | 03:28 |
| hojpoj | Does anyone here have any knowledge of BOOTLOGD????? | 03:28 |
| puff | In the recent drive failure problem, I ran across mention of journaling file systems not needing to fsck. | 03:28 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, hrm sounds like pebcak... I'm sure you'll run into similar problems no matter how you install :O | 03:28 |
| Athenon | JackWon1*...sorry | 03:28 |
| JackWon1 | i have installed Ubuntu 3 days ago | 03:28 |
| iissmart | Anyone know how to check your mail upon ssh'ing into an 8.04 server? | 03:28 |

| hojpoj | k | 03:28 |
| Templarian | whats a good DNS program for resetting my dns thing for dyndns.com | 03:28 |
| JackWon1 | basiclly i can understand | 03:29 |
| Templarian | perferably has a gui | 03:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky I have no problem with the shared data being fat32, but ntfs is fine as well... for accdessing from the windows side an ext3 I use ext2fs | 03:29 |
| puff | iissmart: sudo aptitude install mutt<enter> mutt<enter> | 03:29 |
| DJ_Cranky | Templarian a lot of routers can do it, if yours does i would reccommend that | 03:29 |
| JackWon1 | after which step should i go? | 03:29 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> search in ubuntu forums | 03:29 |
| blizzardman1219[ | mdh76: what do i do once i do sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.inf? it just opens up a blank windo | 03:29 |
| Athenon | mdh76: hrm. thats discouraging. too bad java couldnt have just worked....java gave me mountains of trouble...although most everything else worked fine -_- | 03:29 |
| puff | Templarian: What cranky siad. | 03:29 |
| Templarian | DJ_Cranky: didn't even think of that and yes it does | 03:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pm | tang | 03:29 |
| ubottu | tang: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 03:29 |
| puff | Athenon: I've never had a problem getting java to work, though I've never really used it for applets. | 03:30 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, its a little easier now that openjdk is free and in the install.. just apt-get install it :) | 03:30 |
| iissmart | puff, no I mean like an automatic mail check, like I think if you have the Desktop version installed and you ssh into it, it says "No mail" or "New mail for <username>" right under the MOTD | 03:30 |
| JackWon1 | okie | 03:30 |
| iissmart | it doesn't do this in my fresh installation of 8.04 server | 03:30 |
| puff | iissmart: ah... there used to be an old program, "from", that would do that. | 03:30 |
| smallfoot- | ubuntu needs to focus more on porno, thats where the market share is | 03:30 |
| DJ_Cranky | Templarian glad i could hellp | 03:30 |
| Athenon | mdh76: erm yeah, thats what i did...but it didnt work right...i forgot what was wrong exactly, but something wasnt right | 03:30 |

| smallfoot- | Y everyone loves porno | 03:30 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow i dont think ext2fs can write to ext3, can it? | 03:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smallfoot- Please stop | 03:31 |
| JackWon1 | Thank you Inar! | 03:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky yes | 03:31 |
| smallfoot- | Jack_Sparrow, we need security from spyware that you get from porno sites, and we need smooth high quality multi media playback | 03:31 |
| Templarian | puff: whats the host name and do i check the wild card box | 03:31 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow i will look at it again then, | 03:31 |

| Athenon | mdh76: i think i was trying to get a newer version of the sdk or somesuch and it errored in the middle...or...AHH YES I REMEMEBER...it was the firefox plugin...java itself was working ok, but not inside firefox...and yeah, i messed up a hard drive trying to fix it -_- | 03:31 |
| Templarian | puff: nvm | 03:31 |
| hojpoj | Is there an advanced Ubuntu forum or IRC channel? | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | puff np | 03:32 |
| Y | smallfoot-: This is a support chat. If you wish to speak off-topic please go to a more appropriate chat. | 03:32 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, you hit 'i' to go into insert mode, write in the config stuff or copy & paste it in, hit <esc> then :wq to save and quit vi | 03:32 |
| JackWon1 | what different between DEBAIN...UBUNTU...RED HAT? | 03:32 |
| iissmart | puff, if I try running 'from' it says "can't read /var/mail/<user>", and the man page says its for listing who's SENT mail, not received | 03:32 |
| hojpoj | DEBIAN and UBUNTU = No difference | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JackWon1 /join #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions | 03:32 |
| dug_ | Athenon: yeah there's a sun-java6-plugin package if you don't have it installed already | 03:32 |
| Y | JackWon1: Have you tried google? | 03:32 |
| puff | iissmart: It lists who sent the mail that yo u've received. | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hojpoj Yes there is a difference | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !debian | 03:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 03:33 |
| hojpoj | Red Hat - Primarily different installation program. Uses RPM instead of the much more superior Aptitude | 03:33 |
| Athenon | dug_: I did that, but java stuff still wouldnt work in firefox | 03:33 |
| Y | JackWon1: Always remember - GOOGLE! (Ignorance's only natural predator!) | 03:33 |
| puff | iissmart: Back in the day, mail was saved in spool files under /var/mail, these days it depends on how your mail server is set up. | 03:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hojpoj Please feel free to join him in ot to discuss the differences | 03:33 |
| hojpoj | ubottu - Most 8.04 Ubuntu packages will work on Debian Etch | 03:33 |
| ubottu | hojpoj: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:33 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, there's not 64-bit java plugin afaik... otherwise it simply works out of the box on 32-bit systems... | 03:33 |
| Y | puff: Back in the day mail was delievered in big blue or red bags. =D | 03:34 |
| Athenon | mdh76: i think it did, but when i upgraded it, it quit working or somesuch | 03:34 |
| hojpoj | Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian 4.0r3 Etch are exactly the same | 03:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hojpoj Please feel free to join him in ot to discuss the differences | 03:34 |
| Rorgo | what possessed the ubuntu people to think releasing a beta firefox browser as the default for 8.04 would be a good idea | 03:34 |
| Flannel | hojpoj: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks | 03:34 |
| puff | Templarian: Host name is whatever you set it to. IT's the name that your linux box uses to describe itself. It is often set to be the same as a domain name associated with the box. | 03:34 |
| Athenon | mdh76: i just know it was a big mess and i tried everything i could think of to fix it and it all failed -_- | 03:34 |
| hojpoj | What an idiotic channel. | 03:34 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> linux is linux, all names like ubuntu, debian, red hat, gentoo, they are distributions, basically they are the same with different ways of doing the same thing on the same system, different ways of installing software packages etc | 03:34 |
| Flannel | Rorgo: it wont be beta much longer | 03:34 |
| dug_ | iissmart: i'm assuming you already tried running "mail" to check your mail | 03:34 |
| iissmart | dug_, yes, but I would like it to be an automatic check upon ssh'ing in. And this would be for multiple users, not just me | 03:35 |
| puff | dug_: he wants a quick summary of his inbox when he logs in. | 03:35 |
| DJ_Cranky | hojpoj please be polite | 03:35 |
| iissmart | I thought it came by default, but evidently not on server installations. Maybe on desktop installations though? | 03:35 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> and some of them are free, and use free software only and some others dont | 03:35 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, if you upgrade using ubuntu packages you should be fine. if you try to install from tarballs off java.sun.com you'll likely run into trouble | 03:36 |
| JackWon1 | Thank you Inar | 03:36 |
| JackWon1 | i had tried to google it | 03:36 |
| Tech-Mike | sup peeps...got a question about network devices/adapters....does ubuntu only handle one network device at a time? when i connect w/ usb wireless (wlan0) my lan (eth0) isnt connected... and vice versa | 03:36 |
| Athenon | mdh76: nope, it was synaptic packages...in fact i was in the middle of installing one and the whole computer hung and never released...i had to reboot and messed up the hard drive in so doing -_- | 03:36 |
| JackWon1 | just confirm the answer again at here | 03:36 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, I remember a while back they only released tarballs compiled against mis-named redhat packages, so java was broken on all distributions that mattered (debian) | 03:36 |
| DJ_Cranky | Tech-Mike usually, i believe there are ways to use both | 03:37 |
| puff | Athenon: When did you try this, btw? Java on debian and ubuntu got a lot better within the last year or so. | 03:37 |
| mdh76 | Athenon, oooh nasty | 03:37 |
| lnar | <JackWon1> any distro u like and fits ur wills is the one for u, so choose and install any but ull see that they are all like | 03:37 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Hello. | 03:37 |
| Tech-Mike | Dj_Cranky how might i go about doin that | 03:37 |
| Athenon | puff: probably....6 months ago or so...i was using like 7.04 or 7.10, not sure which | 03:37 |
| DJ_Cranky | DJ_Cranky if you take both connections out of roaming mode you can config them both for operations | 03:37 |
| puff | Athenon: That is, ubuntu/debian support for installing java got a lot better, because Sun fixed their licensing to make it more free software compatible. | 03:37 |
| DJ_Cranky | Tech-Mike if you take both connections out of roaming mode you can config them both for operations | 03:37 |
| DJ_Cranky | Tech-Mike you do this in network manager | 03:38 |
| Flannel | JackWon1: Please take further discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 03:38 |

| === brett is now known as bpat1434 | ||
| puff | Athenon: Also make sure you selected the sun java package for installing, due to the afore-mentioned history, there are different packages and I wouldn't assume you'd get the right hting by just doing "sudo aptitude install java" | 03:38 |
| mdh76 | its lunch o'clock, there's nobody in the office and I have a fridge full of beer | 03:38 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Says I can't private message due to spammers so what the topic says doesn't work for me.... can I just ask my question here? | 03:39 |
| Tech-Mike | ill give it a shot thx Dj_Cranky | 03:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mdh76 great... but also offtopic | 03:39 |
| Athenon | puff: nope, i tried sun AND i tried the others...nothing worked | 03:39 |
| lnar | <mdh76> ur lucky | 03:39 |
| DJ_Cranky | Tech-Mike no problem, have fun! | 03:39 |
| Flannel | [Al3xand3r]: yep | 03:39 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Okay thanks. | 03:39 |
| bpat1434 | is FF3.0rc1 out yet? | 03:39 |
| Templaria1 | puff: i have svn and everything configured would i use http://url/var/svn/repos/ | 03:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ff3rc | 03:40 |
| ubottu | 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. | 03:40 |
| [Al3xand3r] | I just used to Wubi to install ubuntu for the first time... All went well at first. | 03:40 |
| Tech-Mike | Dj_Cranky im tryn...im tryn to use linux more and more, i tri-boot with ubuntu, xp pro sp2, and vista | 03:40 |
| hiptobecubic | how can one execute a command on all the files in a directory tree if it doesn't have a recursive option? | 03:40 |
| puff | Athenon: Odd. | 03:40 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Then it gave me a pop up saying I can enable non-free driver software for better performance. I accept, it downloads ATI drivers, installs them, and after reboot and load all I get is blank screen :( | 03:40 |
| hiptobecubic | can't you use find | exec somehow? | 03:40 |
| jrib | hiptobecubic: find and the -exec switch | 03:40 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Black screen even. | 03:40 |
| puff | Templaria1: Idaknow, I always use the command line stuff. Did you check the red-bean book? | 03:40 |
| hiptobecubic | jrib, yeah i read the man page but i'm having syntax issues | 03:41 |
| Athenon | puff: my thoughts exactly. | 03:41 |
| DJ_Cranky | Tech-Mike don't be afraid..linux doesnt bite, it just growls...Loudly.. | 03:41 |
| jrib | hiptobecubic: did you see the EXAMPLES section of the man page? | 03:41 |
| Y | Is IceWeasel still in use? | 03:41 |
| Tech-Mike | lol...i havnt given up yet - been usin ubuntu for about a year now | 03:41 |
| Templaria1 | puff: well even with the command line what url would one use? | 03:41 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] have you tried booting into recovery mode? | 03:41 |
| hiptobecubic | jrib, is it 'man -exec' ? | 03:41 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Nope. have no clue bout linux =) | 03:41 |
| puff | Athenon: Could it have been that you had some other conflciting packages installed? | 03:41 |
| jrib | hiptobecubic: no, in 'man find' | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky I didnt think wubi could do that | 03:42 |
| Athenon | puff: i doubt it, but it's not impossible | 03:42 |
| === clifford is now known as yrjokin | ||
| hiptobecubic | jrib, i'll look again. thanks | 03:42 |
| trentster | Hey all, I just wanted to ask some advice about the openssl vulnerability: If I generated all keys to use passwords, does this mean we are safe from a brute force attack against vulnerable keys if they use passwords? secondly if those encrypted streams are recorded, can the contents be decrypted regardless of weather we use passwords with our keys? | 03:42 |
| [Al3xand3r] | Just came to ask best course of action... and if I could find working ati drivers and if others have same issue... | 03:42 |
| puff | Templaria1: Where? | 03:42 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] okey, well when you boot up, choose ubuntu, then there will be a thing that says press esc to enter the menu, press esc, choose recovery and hit enter | 03:42 |
| jrib | hiptobecubic: in the man page hit: /EXAMPLES<enter> | 03:42 |
| yell0w | has anyone worked out how to use ndiswrapper on hardy for a bcm4318 ? | 03:42 |
| jrib | hiptobecubic: then 'n' a couple of times | 03:42 |
| Templaria1 | puff: on my server the repository is in /var/svn/repos | 03:42 |
| puff | Athenon: That'd be my first suspect. | 03:42 |
| blizzardman1219[ | ok so i got the file wpa_supplicant.conf configured correctly so i decided to do the command "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -w" but then it says "Line 1: invalid configuration line 'i'." | 03:42 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow yeah, wubi actually just mounts a virtual disk and then boots GRUB, pretty cool idea.. | 03:42 |
| [Al3xand3r] | I saw the option just didn't use it yet DJ_Cranky. recovery is like windows safe mode? | 03:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky You have never used wubi have you? | 03:43 |
| Templaria1 | puff: so what would be the url or should i put it somewhere else? | 03:43 |
| puff | Athenon: I'm a java programmer, I've never had problems with running java from tar balls, but the package stuff has always been a hash. | 03:43 |
| Athenon | puff: i honestly thing the packages were fine...its just that the plugin was disabled in firefox and i couldnt figure out how to enable it | 03:43 |
| === MTecknology is now known as Greg | ||
| hiptobecubic | jrib, ah there we are. alright thanks. i'll study a bit more | 03:43 |
| dug_ | yell0w: see if these instructions help, although I no longer needed to use ndiswrapper in hardy myself: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 | 03:43 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, umm.. get rid of the letter i in there ;) | 03:43 |
| Athenon | puff: I'm a java programmer too :P | 03:43 |
| Templaria1 | puff: im thinking its probably in the wrong folder or something. | 03:43 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] yes, it is similar, it should load without the restricted driver | 03:43 |
| puff | Templaria1: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ | 03:43 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow i am using it right now on my laptop | 03:43 |
| === Greg is now known as MTecknology | ||
| puff | Athenon: Well, I'm a java programmer and a lonnnnng-time unix user. | 03:43 |
| [Al3xand3r] | and then what would i do after that :) | 03:43 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, everyone using vi has done that at some stage, held the insert keybind down too long and got extraneous letters into files :O | 03:44 |
| [Al3xand3r] | to remove the ati driver and boot normally | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky Good luck... not something I would use | 03:44 |
| Athenon | puff: ok you got me on the last one :P | 03:44 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] you need to disable the driver, i wouldnt know how,, anyone got ideas? | 03:44 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow have you ever used it? | 03:44 |
| puff | Athenon: I've always been the guy in the corner office who actually caught the windows-specific behaviors *before* we tried to deploy new code to the solaris servers - because *I* was developing on unix. | 03:44 |
| Templaria1 | puff: do i actually have to read this I use SVN day an night on a windows machine just not on linux if i knew the url it would be perfect. | 03:44 |
| mrkeishii | I have a ? | 03:44 |
| mrkeishii | I have a 64-bit processor | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky yep, which is why I was against it being included with ubuntu | 03:45 |
| [Al3xand3r] | wubi's simple and great, all went well for me DJ_Cranky. problem i encounter is after install with standard ubuntu's functions really. | 03:45 |
| puff | Templaria1: It's an excellent read, but hang on a sec, I'll try to look up the specific bit of info you need. | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DJ_Cranky but this is not the place to discuss it | 03:45 |
| Templaria1 | puff: i may have found it. | 03:45 |
| mrkeishii | and I am wondering which Ubuntu 8.04 should i download? is it the 32-bit or 64-bit? Which would be better? | 03:45 |
| puff | Templaria1: If I understand what you're asking, you're looking for the repository argument to use in donig a checkout? | 03:45 |
| DJ_Cranky | Jack_Sparrow agreed | 03:45 |
| mdh76 | blizzardman1219[, after fixing that file btw I was able to use NetworkManager to setup the wireless, it Just Worked (tm) | 03:45 |
| Y | mrkeishii: Please do not ask to ask a question. Just ask and we'll do our best. =D | 03:45 |
| Templaria1 | puff: correct | 03:45 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] yes, it does what it does for new ubuntu users... | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mrkeishii We try to suggest that new users run 32 bit | 03:45 |
| Y | mrkeishii: 32 bit | 03:46 |
| mrkeishii | I'm not a new user | 03:46 |
| lnar | <mrkeishii>32 bit | 03:46 |
| dug_ | Templaria1: you might try a graphical svn client, there are many, but I mainly use the svn clients in netbeans or eclipse | 03:46 |
| mrkeishii | y 32bit? | 03:46 |
| DJ_Cranky | mrkeishii who said you were? | 03:46 |
| brappin7 | bazhang you around ? | 03:46 |
| mrkeishii | Y 32-bit and not 64-bit? | 03:46 |
| Templaria1 | dug_: im using tortoise on vista. | 03:46 |
| [Al3xand3r] | so, how would i disable the ati driver via recovery mode then :) | 03:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mrkeishii most experienced users would not have asked.. 64 works fine for most people | 03:47 |
| Templaria1 | dug_: or do you mean in linux because im sure i've got it set up right there | 03:47 |
| chronographer | Hi. I jsut changed from nvidia to ati card, installed new drivers with nvng and I have got metacity running nicely, but compiz makes xorg use heaps of cpu, framerate of around 4 fps when moving windows... any ideas? | 03:47 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] well.. hmm.. i forget, recovery mode just boots to terminal right? anyone know? | 03:47 |
| === yannick_ is now known as ylynfatt | ||
| mrkeishii | basically what is the 64-bit consist? | 03:47 |
| Y | mrkeishii: What Jack_Sparrow said. If you're asking then you'd probably be more safe with 32 bit. | 03:47 |
| chronographer | change xorg.conf | 03:47 |
| ariqs | why do they put an bunch of entirely unrelated shit into one package? all i want is the ltmodem drivers and i have to install all kinds of other restricted drivers? | 03:47 |
| [Al3xand3r] | no idea DJ_Cranky, like i said haven't used linux ever be4... :> | 03:47 |
| mrkeishii | whats wrong with the 64-bit? | 03:48 |
| mrkeishii | I'm using it right now. | 03:48 |
| Templaria1 | svn+ssh://url.com/var/svn/repos | 03:48 |
| chronographer | sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change Driver in device | 03:48 |
| ariqs | linux devs smoke the crack | 03:48 |
| DJ_Cranky | chronographer thanks | 03:48 |
| lnar | <mrkeishii> there is more soft for 32 than for 64 | 03:48 |
| chronographer | np. | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chronographer Please suggest to people gksudo gedit and not sudo | 03:48 |
| chronographer | why? | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 03:48 |
| 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) | 03:48 |
| puff | Templaria1: So you'd use http://myserverdomain.com/var/svn/repos/ | 03:48 |
| Flannel | chronographer: Because it sets up the enviroment more appropriately for gui programs | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chronographer sodu gui can lead to disaster | 03:48 |
| [Al3xand3r] | it's command line based in recovery? | 03:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo | 03:49 |
| chronographer | not necessarily | 03:49 |
| [Al3xand3r] | i'll have to write down the stuff then.. | 03:49 |
| chronographer | gnome starts without scripts | 03:49 |
| chronographer | gee i use sudo gedit all the time! | 03:49 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] yeah it just load the terminal to begin with, then you can start gui's | 03:49 |
| Flannel | !worksforme | chronographer | 03:49 |
| ubottu | chronographer: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 03:49 |

| imjesus_1 | what are widgets and where can i get them | 03:49 |
| [Al3xand3r] | need to be told exactly what to type then | 03:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chronographer please read the link for gksudo above. | 03:49 |
| DJ_Cranky | [Al3xand3r] all you want to do is make sure you don't load the driver | 03:49 |
| [Al3xand3r] | change what to what etc | 03:49 |
| chronographer | ok surer. | 03:49 |
| mrkeishii | So whats wrong with the 64-bit? | 03:50 |
| chronographer | any advice on ati driver with compiz using all my cpu? | 03:50 |
| cylux | Hey guys, this is my /etc/fstab http://pastebin.com/f68b1b479, any idea why the filesystm is read-only? | 03:50 |

| mdh76 | mrkeishii, if you're using it now like you claim, you should know | 03:50 |
| blizzardman1219[ | mdh76: i took out the "i" so i typed "sudo wpa_supplicant -wlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -w" but then i get the message "wpa_supplicant: invalid option -- l" and then it just gives me a bunch of information about wpa_supplicant | 03:50 |

| Y | mrkeishii: For starters, there's more software for the 32 bit than the 64 bit. If you like your 64 bit setup then, by all means keep it. | 03:51 |
| Flannel | cylux: Because you have a "ro" as the first option | 03:51 |
| cylux | Flannel: It's ntfs, how do I make it so that I can read AND write? | 03:51 |
| mrkeishii | I have a Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 Processor | 03:51 |
| chronographer | funny thing is, I checked a live cd of hardy, and everything worked ootb, didn't even need restricted drivers! | 03:51 |
| Flannel | cylux: which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 03:51 |

| Y | How do I remove a drive that is mounted on my desktop, but is not plugged in? | 04:02 |
| tang | I lost one of my two workspaces | 04:02 |
| izinucs | lekremyelsew, actually it's just the opposite.. it think screen resolution is probably 800x600 or smaller so it displays LARGE on the screen | 04:02 |
| tang | anybody who can help me ? | 04:03 |
| Tech-Mike | Dj_Cranky when i take them out of roaming, set the wireless to my ssid and dhcp and lan to static ... i think its tryn to use the lan eth0 for internet instead of wlan0 | 04:03 |
| lekremyelsew | izinucs: i dont think so cuz i turned up the screen resolution to bigger than my monitor can handle and the same thing happened | 04:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lekremyelsew vga=794 will give 1280 x 1024 | 04:03 |

| michaelbuckbee_ | Jack_Sparrow: ok, removed quiet and splash, lots of things identified correctly flashing by, monitor blanked for a second and then got a signal back, but nothing actually displayed on screen. Likely resolution issue? I have a DVI connected 24" LCD, so maybe it's native res is higher than supported? | 04:06 |
| === ewhore is now known as e | ||

| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, is this a new install? | 04:07 |
| Nith | Y: figure out what's using it, other than that you can't | 04:07 |
| Nith | Y: of course restarting forcefully unmounts | 04:07 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | Yes, fresh hard drive, not upgrading | 04:07 |
| Y | Nith: It's not in the drive. (it's a microsd card) | 04:07 |
| Y | Nith: So it can't be busy. Or the computer must be locked into thinking it is as it tries to unmount it. | 04:07 |
| KHAnet | whats the command for a kernel upgrade | 04:07 |
| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, ok, this is gonna sound weird but,,, do you have speakers, did you hear drums? | 04:08 |
| Nith | Y: I don't understand, its not in the drive but you're trying to unmount it? | 04:08 |
| Nith | KHAnet: do-release-upgrade | 04:08 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | SeaPhor: No speakers, but USB headset, I could restart and see if I hear with that | 04:08 |
| Y | Nith: It is still showing as mount, and I can access it (though it's just blank when I do). This is not much of a concern. However, when I put the drive in it will still show as mounted, but when I pull up the drive it is still blank and reads "busy". | 04:09 |
| KHAnet | exit | 04:09 |
| KHAnet | quit | 04:09 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | SeaPhor: restarting | 04:09 |
| Y | Nith: Is there a "die you m%#@!-f%&*!er command? | 04:10 |
| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, so, did Jack_Sparrow have you remove quiet and slash from kernel line? | 04:10 |
| rod0009 | anyone able to play lineage 2 in hardy? | 04:10 |
| Y | rod0009: Use Wine, check the compat list. | 04:10 |
| blizzardman1219[ | how do i edit my wpa_supplicant.conf file? | 04:10 |
| Y | rod0009: Go to #winehq. | 04:10 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | SeaPhor: yes, I did that and it didn't display any errors, same behavior, everything looks good and then it appears like it might be shifting resolutions and goes black | 04:10 |
| rod0009 | Y: ok i wiil see | 04:11 |
| Painless | Y: don't mean to but into your convo... but you could try an 'umount -f ...' | 04:11 |
| Y | Painless: Any advice is welcome. I will try it now. | 04:11 |
| Y | Painless: unmount command not found. | 04:11 |
| blizzardman1219[ | does anyone know how i can edit my wpa_supplicant.conf file? | 04:12 |
| Painless | Y: its 'umount' | 04:12 |
| Painless | not 'unmount' | 04:12 |
| Y | Painless: My bad. | 04:12 |
| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, ok, i just came in but picked up on that,,, do the same thing, delete the quiet and splash but this time add vga=771 | 04:12 |
| fiz | anyone using songbird in hardy? | 04:12 |
| Buttercup | I'm having a problem recording from the microphone. I open the sound recorder, hit record, say some stuff and play it back, but don't hear anything. I open the volume control, but I only see playback options, not recording options. How do I get it to record? | 04:12 |
| Painless | Y: lol.. I think 'unmount' would definately make more sense :) | 04:12 |
| Y | Painless: That did it. Thanks man. | 04:13 |
| Dgro | Bye | 04:13 |
| Painless | Y: yw | 04:13 |
| RoadHazard | Buttercup: do yourself a favor, if youre gonna record, get audacity | 04:13 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | SeaPhor: ok, will try that, also did the reboot and did not hear any drums (but my headset might not be recognized) | 04:13 |
| Y | Painless: What does umount -f do? | 04:13 |
| fiz | man i wish google would make the toolbar for ff3 | 04:13 |
| Painless | Y: it's a forced unmount | 04:13 |
| Nith | -f Force unmount (in case of an unreachable NFS system). (Requires | 04:13 |
| Nith | kernel 2.1.116 or later.) | 04:13 |
| jtaylor13 | group:i can not get google earth to work.nor slingmedia in wine.any help? | 04:13 |
| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, and i need to know how how far along you are | 04:13 |
| Nith | I've never heard of that one before | 04:13 |
| Nith | :) | 04:13 |
| Y | fiz: All Google toolbars are of the devil and will make your bollocks rot off. Remember that. | 04:13 |
| fiz | why lol | 04:14 |
| Y | Painless: Thanks again. =) I'll remember that. | 04:14 |
| Buttercup | RoadHazard: I plan to, but right now I'm just trying to get this to work at all. | 04:14 |
| Y | fiz: I just hate them. =P | 04:14 |
| fiz | i have grown quite attached to mine | 04:14 |

| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, did you get to install or are you still on live cd? | 04:14 |
| fiz | all my bookmarks are in there and my mail is just right there | 04:14 |
| MikeCulver | I'm trying to image my current hard drive contents to a file so I can try ubuntu on the whole disk. How do I do this with the desktop CD? | 04:14 |
| RoadHazard | its really alot easier | 04:14 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | SeaPhor: I'm booting from CD, get the options, choose "Install", Hit F6, remove quiet and splash and just added vga=771, processing now | 04:15 |
| fiz | ff3 needs to hurry up though its pretty sexy just hardly any of my set of extentions work yet | 04:16 |
| tang | I have two workspaces ,but only one is working .who to make another working | 04:16 |
| Y | fiz: "Favorites" and "Bookmarks" is there for that in your web browser of choice. Why add another feature to handle this? As for mail - if you're on Ubuntu just use Evolution! =) | 04:16 |
| michaelbuckbee_ | SeaPhor: fwiw it did mention finding my headset in the boot messages | 04:16 |
| fiz | because i use it wherever i go | 04:16 |
| gnomefreak | fiz: thats why we package alot of extensions in Hardy | 04:16 |
| fiz | my bookmarks are there | 04:16 |
| Painless | fiz: if you like google bookmarks, as I do for the same reason, the 'gmarks' plugin does the same thing and works with f3 | 04:16 |
| SeaPhor | michaelbuckbee_, k, if easier, you can join #SeaPhor, less noise, but up to you | 04:17 |
| kakoonia | hey, anyone care to help me with how do i unpack a *.lzm archive? | 04:17 |
| gnomefreak | Painless: its causing problems with bookmarks | 04:17 |
| RoadHazard | I wanna piece of the guys who did Mono | 04:17 |
| gnomefreak | Painless: i just saw taht bug yesterday and commented on it but i dont remember bug # atm | 04:17 |
| RoadHazard | my whole day was a nightmare | 04:18 |
| RoadHazard | oops, wrong room | 04:18 |
| bnalohim | do anyone know how to update a bios?? | 04:18 |
| Painless | gnomefreak: might be the one I opened... it's caused by having the CTRL-D integration turned on... if you go into gmarks options and turn off CTRL-D integration, it works | 04:19 |
| gnomefreak | Painless: ah ok the bug i saw someone commented on it that gmarks was causing issues with thier book marks and i asked if anyone else can confirm that they had it and to see if disabling it helped, also told them to move profile | 04:20 |
| Painless | gnomefreak: I opened bug #225257 (Russ Nash is me) ... turned out to be gmarks overtaking CTRL-D and the 'add a bookmark' menu option | 04:22 |

| eross | quick question, when we have folders like .openarena, .wine, etc.. why the introduction of folders like Public, Pictures, Documents, etc for the user? Is that to make it more user friendly?

| yell0w | i just check the kernel page, .25-4 is the last stable one | 04:46 |
| yell0w | oh man | 04:46 |
| sw54_nxsrv | bnalohim: yes but before doing that, go to System in ControlPanel, open Device Manager and set IDE controller to Standard | 04:46 |
| Flannel | yell0w: Hardy will always have .24 | 04:46 |
| yell0w | i need that fix for bcm4318 | 04:46 |
| yell0w | :( | 04:46 |
| gnomefreak | most likely you will never see 25 kernel in Hardy its extreamly unstable to upgrade to new kernel like that and we cant afford hardy to become unstable | 04:46 |
| mudd`Hossam | hello how can i get a copy of the main.cf from the postfix deb? | 04:46 |
| yell0w | Flannel: gnomefreak : so i'm stuck till intrepid ? | 04:47 |
| yell0w | :( | 04:47 |
| gnomefreak | plus alot of packages to upgrade and you are just adding bugs to a stable release | 04:47 |
| linuxpenguin207 | http://www.googleityoumoron.com | 04:47 |
| Flannel | yell0w: Or you could compile your own | 04:47 |
| camposneto | pessola com um problema, os dvds que rodo, seja no kafeine ou toten ou mplayer jtodos estão dando um poiuco jde lag | 04:47 |
| gnomefreak | yell0w: yes unless you build it yourself but if you never done it i wouldnt start now | 04:47 |
| Flannel | linuxpenguin207: please dont | 04:47 |
| yell0w | gnomefreak: no, and i want to | 04:47 |
| yell0w | don't* | 04:48 |
| yell0w | ay yay yay | 04:48 |
| Flannel | mudd`Hossam: I presume this is because you want to revert yours? | 04:48 |
| mudd`Hossam | Flannel: i believe ive deleted an important line in mine yes | 04:48 |
| linuxpenguin207 | does linux-questions.org have an irc channel? | 04:48 |
| mudd`Hossam | Flannel: just need the orignial file to see what i might have removed | 04:49 |
| Flannel | mudd`Hossam: reinstalling the package will work | 04:49 |
| linuxpenguin207 | brb | 04:49 |
| Flannel | mudd`Hossam: check /usr/share/postfix/ | 04:49 |
| mudd`Hossam | Flannel: ahh thank you | 04:50 |
| InGunsWeTrus1 | I set up a terminal server using x11vnc but I have to run a command to enable it. How can I run the command as part of bootup so that I can just start my computer and it is automatically shared | 04:51 |
| Painless | InGunsWeTrus1: an alternative would be to enable the remote desktop option | 04:52 |
| InGunsWeTrus1 | I couldnt get vino to work properly thats why I chose x11vnc | 04:52 |

| ariqs | god fucking damnit. I just took forever to download linux-restricted-modules bullshit just for the god damn ltmodem driver, and it tells me the package doesn't have hte required dependencies, but it doesn't say what it's missing. I've tried to compile the source for the ltmodem drivers, i've tried to download old packages. sadfkjsdklfjasdfds | 04:54 |

| ariqs | what is with this? and people try to say this makes a better desktop. HAHAH | 04:55 |
| Flannel | ariqs: What were you trying to do? What does it tell you re: not having stuff? | 04:55 |
| keithclark | What is the best relational data base out there with a good gui interface for Linux? I've tried Base and Kexi and find they are way too limited. It needs to be relational and close to the functionality of Access | 04:55 |
| No1CaNTeL | who's the moron that jsut told me to sudo halt?? you ignorant ahole, I was in the middle of setting my partitions off of the damn live cd. not EVERYONE kows how to USE THIS OS. was this supposed to be funny??? | 04:55 |
| Buttercup | Well, I got the thing to record, but it was awfully quiet. So I started fooling around with some other settings and now I can't get it to record again. Does anyone know what settings I have to have in the volume control panel to get it to record? | 04:56 |
| No1CaNTeL | my primary partition is now f'n up because of your IGNORANCE | 04:56 |

| No1CaNTeL | out of respect for this channel I will keep my "language" down, is there an @ here? | 04:56 |

| keithclark | Painless: Yes, I've tried that phpadmin package but it does not do what I want it to do.....and the programming is a nightmare | 04:57 |
| ariqs | flannel: I'm trying to get the modem drivers so I can actually connect to the internet, which I can't do because ubuntu doesn't come with the necessary drivers to let me do it, and I can't compile those drivers because it doesn't have the dependencies that i can't download because I need the driver to do it | 04:57 |
| linuxpenguin207 | troll? | 04:57 |
| ariqs | all this nonsense is driving me insane. I've wasted a day on it | 04:57 |
| Flannel | ariqs: you can apt-get build-deps to grab the stuff it needs to compile | 04:57 |
| No1CaNTeL | ANY @'S HERE? | 04:57 |
| mrgksser | Does anyone know what changed in ubuntu 8.04 that changed how wine works with comports? | 04:57 |

| izinucs | keithclark, you could use mysql or postgres as the backend for OpenOffice Database.. | 04:58 |
| ariqs | flannel: how? I can't get on the net with the machine | 04:58 |
| ariqs | because I need the driver I don't have to do it | 04:58 |
| Flannel | ariqs: Grab them with another machine | 04:58 |

| ariqs | and it's failing miserably | 04:58 |
| ariqs | i can't believe this nonsense | 04:58 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: take it to #ubuntu-ops | 04:59 |
| keithclark | izinucs: Yeah, I've been recommended that before, but it is still pretty complicated. I need something simple but powerful. I hate to bring up Access, but it truly is both. | 04:59 |
| linuxpenguin207 | flannel what did you mean when you said "troll"? | 04:59 |
| __Psytek__ | has anyone here got one of those artigo pico-itx boxes? | 04:59 |
| No1CaNTeL | kk | 04:59 |
| ariqs | why do they have to stick the single driver I want in a package with a ton of other junk I don't? | 04:59 |

| egc | hi, can somebody tell me where nm-applet might keep its configuration files? | 05:01 |
| keithclark | izinucs: I had hoped that there was something like that in linux. | 05:02 |
| ariqs | flannel: ltmodem drivers | 05:02 |
| Flannel | ariqs: Which package is that? | 05:02 |
| DrBanzai | I need some help getting wireless to work on my Acer 5920 with the Intel 3945 chipset. Fresh install of Ubuntu Hardy Heron. No wireless under Networks, no icon in the task bar either. Any ideas? | 05:02 |
| fiya_werkin | Keith, Access? I just use virtualbox with a windows session when I need actual MS Office functionality, better than rebooting at least | 05:02 |
| lanxuan | hello | 05:03 |
| ariqs | linux-restricted-modules. I've already downloaded it, but the package won't work because of dependencies | 05:03 |
| corollax | DrBanzai: First thing I'd check is the "Hardware Drivers" section | 05:03 |
| ariqs | I got the listed dependencies on packages.ubuntu.com and they have other dependencies | 05:03 |
| keithclark | fiya_werkin: yeah, I thought of that as well but I need to access this on my server via ssh sessions. | 05:03 |
| DrBanzai | corollax: Nothing listed. | 05:03 |
| corollax | Dr Banzai: It's under system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 05:03 |
| ariqs | it's bs | 05:03 |
| ariqs | every dependency has another dependency and I'm sick o fit | 05:03 |
| Flannel | ariqs: How did you install Ubuntu? | 05:04 |
| ariqs | i just want one friggin driver | 05:04 |
| ariqs | cd | 05:04 |
| polysilicon | which is the best way to run windows in virtual machine in Ubuntu 8.04 for playing high graphics games? | 05:04 |
| fiya_werkin | ariqs: have fun compiling and resolving all the dependncies manually then | 05:04 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, you won't be playing high graphics games in virtual machines | 05:04 |
| izinucs | polysilicon, if the games require direct x forget it. | 05:04 |
| polysilicon | izinucs, ohh Quake? | 05:04 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, opengl stuff works well, like warcraft 3, WoW, some other games do run ok, but its still sketchy | 05:04 |
| ariqs | fiya_werkin, even compiling has dependencies I don't have | 05:04 |
| Flannel | ariqs: That package should be installed by default. Which CD did you use? | 05:04 |
| corollax | Dr Banzai: Try typing in "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" on the command line, with an internet connection | 05:05 |
| ariqs | flannel: pressed cd 8.04 hardy. | 05:05 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, quake 1? | 05:05 |
| ariqs | flannel: I don't think it's on the cd. it's not in pool/restricted anyway | 05:05 |
| egc | linux is a special brew, made for a chosen few | 05:05 |
| corollax | Dr Banzai: You might get some new package updates that would include information on your wireless chipset. Can't guarantee anything, though. | 05:05 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, check out wine / wine hq website for some games that work good with that | 05:05 |
| Flannel | ariqs: There are only a few packages on the CD, because they're all compiled into the casper image. It'd be the alternate CD, or check the manifest. Hold on. | 05:05 |
| keithclark | egc: ahmen, yes it is. | 05:06 |
| izinucs | polysilicon, there are games out there for linux that are using the older quake engines.. not sure about the newer stuff.. check out synaptic and search for quake and see what pops up | 05:06 |
| polysilicon | fiya_werkin, ok, is that the only option? wine.. | 05:06 |
| ariqs | flannel: I'm on dialup. I just can't download a cd image | 05:06 |
| DrBanzai | corollax: Ok, I'll try it | 05:06 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, other than native ports of the games you want in linux which most don't have, wine is your best bet | 05:06 |
| egc | :D | 05:06 |
| polysilicon | okkk | 05:06 |
| No1CaNTeL | linuxpenguin207: you really are a funny guy...... | 05:06 |
| Flannel | ariqs: Right. but they *are* included by default on the Desktop CD | 05:06 |
| corollax | DRBanzai: Best of luck! If it's a fresh install, there will be a LOT of updates. Fair warning. >,< | 05:06 |
| keithclark | egc: my workload on my home network went up 100% since changing over to linux | 05:06 |
| ariqs | where then? because like I said, it's not in pool/restricted | 05:06 |
| egc | keithclark: why's that? | 05:07 |
| Flannel | ariqs: Its included by default in the live image. The desktop CD has all its packages that it installs compiled in, see here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.manifest | 05:07 |
| tv7497 | Flannel: good morning dir :-) | 05:07 |
| keithclark | egc: oh man, this doesn't work, this site crashes, this usb device has no drivers....and so on. Ubuntu also has it's crashes on my laptops. Overheating is a huge issue. | 05:08 |
| Flannel | tv7497: Howdy | 05:08 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, there are some fun games even fps that are made for linux too, check out nexuiz, sauerbraten, bzflag | 05:08 |
| polysilicon | fiya_werkin, its wine version 1.0! | 05:08 |
| Speedy | keithclark, really? | 05:08 |
| Speedy | usb works out of the box | 05:08 |
| egc | keithclark: oh ;) i took it to be positive at first | 05:08 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, yes, after many years they released version 1 :) | 05:08 |
| tv7497 | Flannel: Ivor Horton’s Beginning Java 2,JDK 5 Edition | 05:08 |
| Nostahl | how do i get a pcmcia card working | 05:08 |
| egc | i actually don't have many problems with it | 05:08 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, don't let that fool you, wine's been out for quite a while | 05:08 |
| tv7497 | Flannel: sir is this book good to start with java | 05:08 |
| Nostahl | !pcmcia | 05:09 |
| ubottu | Factoid pcmcia not found | 05:09 |
| keithclark | speedy: oh yeah. I spend much more time working on my machines now. But....I must say, they can all do so much more! | 05:09 |
| ariqs | there are some modules that look very similar to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386, but I don't see that exactly | 05:09 |
| Speedy | tv7497, if you wanna do java "big java" by "kay horstman" is a good bet | 05:09 |
| polysilicon | fiya_werkin, yeah. got that | 05:09 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, you can do a lot with wine other than games also, for example I use it for running pokestars, and some other windows only software | 05:09 |
| ariqs | flannel: at any rate, how do I access them then? | 05:09 |
| xaos1111 | !cloning | 05:09 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 05:09 |
| Flannel | ariqs: No. Stop looking on the CD itself, you won't find them there. They are *already* installed, on the live system, and then on the installed system as well. | 05:09 |
| Serway | Hey guys, is there an ubuntu application that can help me make buisness cards? Ill i want is a program that will partition the paper into the sizes i want to print | 05:09 |
| keithclark | Speedy: my house is mostly wireless....imagine the problems there! | 05:09 |
| Speedy | yeah | 05:10 |
| fiya_werkin | I run uTorrent in wine also, I don't know what it is, but that client works faster for me than any client I've ever tried for torrents | 05:10 |
| ariqs | Flannel: Then why don't have have my modem's drivers? | 05:10 |
| oc80z | hello | 05:10 |
| Speedy | because modems suck -_- | 05:10 |
| polysilicon | fiya_werkin, even I used utorrent with wine | 05:10 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Would you recommend switching from Deluge to uTorrent? | 05:10 |
| oc80z | how the heck do i bring /dev/net/tun device up | 05:10 |
| izinucs | Serway, glabel | 05:10 |
| Flannel | ariqs: I have no idea. But you can verify that restricted modules are installed by: dpkg -l | grep restricted | 05:10 |
| tv7497 | Speedy: thank you sir | 05:10 |
| oc80z | corollax, utorrent is the best. | 05:10 |
| Speedy | thats ok | 05:10 |
| phun_ | I like deluge, seems to work just as well as utorrent | 05:10 |
| Speedy | that book served me well at university | 05:10 |
| fiya_werkin | corollax, doesn't hurt to try it, utorrent isn't even an install, you can just run it | 05:10 |
| fiya_werkin | and compare for yourself :) | 05:11 |
| oc80z | how the heck do i bring /dev/net/tun device up | 05:11 |
| keithclark | Speedy: finding a replacement for Quickbooks took awhile.....now a decent database with ease of use is the next challenge. Hey, nothing in life is free! You either pay with a chequebook or your own time. | 05:11 |
| fiya_werkin | Sometimes even with very few seeds utorrent just impresses me | 05:11 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: I've already got Wine installed and running brilliantly... | 05:11 |
| fiya_werkin | It's like they have their own hidden network | 05:11 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Would it be worth doing a speed comparison? | 05:11 |
| Nostahl | where doi go to see what pcmcia cards i have plugged in | 05:11 |
| oc80z | how the heck do i bring /dev/net/tun device up | 05:11 |
| Speedy | keithclark, i guess that statement is mainly true | 05:11 |
| fiya_werkin | corollax, never hurts load up the same torrent on both and see what it takes to complete / speesd | 05:12 |
| izinucs | Nostahl, Places/computer | 05:12 |
| fiya_werkin | corollax, granted things can change seeds / leechers over time but you can get an idea | 05:12 |
| fiya_werkin | plus I keep meaning to set up utorrents web interface, havn't messed with it yet tho | 05:12 |
| Nostahl | izinucs i have it plugged in but its not showing up there | 05:12 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Would this help? http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/09/running-utorrent-in-ubuntu.html | 05:12 |
| Nostahl | the little light isnt lighting up on it eather | 05:12 |
| keithclark | Speedy: it is absolutely true. When you buy a standard machine from say HP with windows, you have one throat the strangle when something goes wrong. With Linux, you have no throats to strangle. No one single entity is responsible. | 05:13 |
| izinucs | Nostahl, sorry I dont know much about how to get them to work.. just where you might find them when mounted. | 05:13 |
| izinucs | Nostahl, you could try "sudo mount -a" | 05:13 |

| fiya_werkin | corollax, oh, no i think thats still beta | 05:15 |
| fiya_werkin | corollax, i dont think its too hard i just havn't had the time to mess with it :) | 05:15 |
| Serway | <izinucs>, the thing is, i want it to say different things on every card, and it only does one card and multiplies it, do you know how to do this? | 05:15 |
| Templaria1 | puff: you have been right thus far :) | 05:15 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Hee. Understandable. I'll admit, I love to tinker. Actually, I was thinking about switching to Elyssa Mint when it comes out... | 05:15 |
| Templaria1 | puff: do you know why its pointing to my router and not to my server. | 05:16 |
| ariqs | flannel what does non mean when it lists them? | 05:16 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: I've got my /home partitioned already. Do you think it's a good idea to switch? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | ariqs: non? | 05:16 |
| izinucs | Serway, sorry no.. never tried that. | 05:16 |

| fiya_werkin | so i'm not the best person to ask | 05:17 |
| polysilicon | fiya_werkin, any racing game comparable with Need For Speed -linux native? | 05:18 |
| dannyjay | Is there any GUI method | 05:18 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Admittedly, yes. But I got onto tinkering, and well..... | 05:18 |
| dannyjay | just curious | 05:18 |
| ariqs | flannel: so say the driver I want is installed. Why won't the ltmodem driver work? what do I have to do? | 05:18 |
| izinucs | polysilicon, check out whats available at www.getdeb.net | 05:18 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Do you think I'd be able to keep my /home settings with Mint? | 05:18 |
| polysilicon | ok | 05:18 |
| nevyn | does anyone know why alsa-firmware isn't packaged in hardy? | 05:18 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, http://www.racer.nl/ maybe | 05:19 |
| corollax | nevyn: I think it's because hardy is moving to pulse-audio? | 05:19 |
| fiya_werkin | polysilicon, not much of a racing fan so not too sure, google might be able to help you with that one | 05:19 |

| ariqs | http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 is the package I got, flannel. i downloaded all those depedencies and it still tells me nonsense about dependencies | 05:24 |

| ubottu | omar: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 05:25 |
| ariqs | I got that | 05:25 |
| ariqs | URGH | 05:25 |
| * ariqs cries | 05:25 | |
| Flannel | ariqs: did you install the other one first? | 05:25 |
| Flannel | that is, the kernel? | 05:25 |
| kappaccino | this channel never sleeps | 05:25 |
| ariqs | I don't think it worked. it had dependency issues as well | 05:25 |
| dmsuperman | kappaccino, it only slows down sometimes | 05:25 |
| Flannel | ariqs: which depends? | 05:26 |
| ariqs | I'll go try again | 05:26 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a problem with opening huge documents on ubuntu or something? I can't even open a mysqldump without WINEing notepad++ | 05:26 |
| dmsuperman | Flynsarmy, how big is it? | 05:26 |
| graft | Flynsarmy: what's wrong with emacs or vim? | 05:26 |
| No1CaNTeL | kk, ty :P now my home is on it's own partition, will the setup know to find it there? | 05:26 |
| dmsuperman | Flynsarmy, you could always do a head or tail if you only need to read a few lines of it | 05:26 |
| fiya_werkin | Flynsarmy, how bigs the file? | 05:26 |
| Flynsarmy | dmsuperman: It's only 1.6MB but i think it's cause it has really long lines | 05:26 |
| No1CaNTeL | sorry, I am learning as I go | 05:26 |
| masterloki | I have a | 05:26 |
| masterloki | a question for anyone | 05:27 |
| graft | Flynsarmy: that's a joke, man.. i can open 100+M files in vim with no trouble | 05:27 |
| dmsuperman | No1CaNTeL, you can specify that you want that mounted as /home in the installer process, just make sure you choose manual | 05:27 |
| dmsuperman | !ask | masterloki | 05:27 |
| ubottu | masterloki: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:27 |
| phobiac | I've been having an issue with installing grub. I have 8.04 installed properly, but grub messed up and now I'm unsure of what to do. I have no /grub under /boot in the partition, so I'm assuming I need to use grub-install? | 05:27 |
| Flynsarmy | graft: I could probably open it with VIM but i prefer a GUI program. None of them seem to be albe to handle it though and i'm not sure why | 05:27 |
| graft | Flynsarmy: because GUI programs suck? use the appropriate tools for your job | 05:27 |
| kappaccino | masterloki: no, but I like my pancakes fluffy | 05:28 |
| Flannel | ariqs: All of the other depends are satisfied by versions you already have. You just need the linux-image-[version]-generic and linux-restricted-modules-[version]-generic (or something similar to that) | 05:28 |
| izinucs | Flynsarmy, you could try nano.. | 05:28 |
| masterloki | can I add a a drive to my fdisk file or will it f--k it up | 05:28 |
| graft | Flynsarmy: but if you want, try kate | 05:28 |
| dmsuperman | Flynsarmy, it depends on how the program opens it. I think notepad++ only loads so much of the file into memory, depending on where you're at | 05:28 |
| masterloki | hahha | 05:28 |
| dmsuperman | izinucs, nano wouldn't do it | 05:28 |
| No1CaNTeL | will do, and sorry I have one last q :P I have 8.04 installed now, I did the upgrade from 7.10 from the updates in ubuntu. is there a way to reload that install instead of using my disc so I dont have to upgrade again? | 05:28 |
| dmsuperman | izinucs, nano tries to open the whole thing at once | 05:28 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: Try less. You need something that doesn't open the entire file, but only whatever you're working on at the time. | 05:28 |
| graft | less is not an editor | 05:28 |
| ariqs | flannel: it tells me the package is either corrupt or I can't open it, for linux-image | 05:29 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, gui's dont suck as much as generalizations | 05:29 |
| Flannel | graft: Did he need an editor? | 05:29 |
| Flynsarmy | Flannel: Shouldn't nano be able to handle it? 1.6MB isn't that large | 05:29 |
| Flynsarmy | Flannel: Gedit sorry | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman | Flannel, he didn't actually say | 05:29 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: the problem is its all one line, isn't it? | 05:29 |
| Flynsarmy | Flannel: Not all of it. but there are a few really long lines, yes | 05:29 |
| dmsuperman | Flynsarmy, 1.6m is hard to open when it's got to get the whole thing and put it into a big text box | 05:29 |
| graft | Flannel: true he didn't say, though he implied it by suggesting notepad++ | 05:29 |
| graft | 1.6m is not hard to deal with | 05:30 |
| Flannel | Flynsarmy: Those long lines are the problem. Because some programs try and buffer them entirely. | 05:30 |
| Speedy | gedit with wrapline enabled | 05:30 |
| Speedy | job done | 05:30 |
| graft | gedit or kate should do it fine | 05:30 |
| Flynsarmy | I was looking for a GUI that could handle it. I've never used kate before, i'll try that | 05:30 |
| Flannel | Speedy: Its not the displaying of the line, its the contents in memory. | 05:30 |
| ariqs | thankyou flannel, if this works I really appreciate it ;P | 05:30 |
| graft | kate is perfect for code monkeys | 05:30 |
| dmsuperman | Flynsarmy, kate is pretty good | 05:30 |
| ariqs | I'm getting the linux-image again | 05:30 |
| fiya_werkin | Flynsarmy, might try gedit or geany first if you don't want to install the dependencies that come with kate (since its a kde app) | 05:30 |
| fiya_werkin | for gtk i like geany | 05:30 |
| fiya_werkin | but yeah code wise kate is nice | 05:31 |
| dmsuperman | eclipse ftw | 05:31 |
| * dmsuperman ducks | 05:31 | |
| Speedy | yeah i like eclipse | 05:31 |
| Speedy | its almost as professional as netbeans too | 05:31 |
| fiya_werkin | yeah but it can be overkill if your just doing small editing | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | i hate it on windows though, the buggiest crap i've ever used | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | but in linux it's so amazing | 05:32 |
| fiya_werkin | so far I like netbeans over eclipse | 05:32 |
| Speedy | its buggy on linux too | 05:32 |
| Speedy | in places | 05:32 |
| Speedy | netbeans if far more professional | 05:32 |
| graft | eclipse for looking at mysql dumps? | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | fiya_werkin, I built this machine to game originally, so resource usage isn't much of a problem for me :D | 05:32 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, i think the convo got hijacked into general code editing | 05:32 |
| graft | oh ah | 05:33 |
| dmsuperman | Speedy, I haven't ever run into bugs in linux. In windows, it would erase the second half of all the liens in the editor like 5 times a day, so I would have to close without save and restart since the last savepoint | 05:33 |
| fiya_werkin | dmsuperman, yeah, some people are just picky about having extra libs around | 05:33 |
| fiya_werkin | dmsuperman, my rigs a gaming machine too :) | 05:33 |
| No1CaNTeL | dmsuperman: I'm not sure if you saw my last q :( it's the last q! I promise!! | 05:33 |
| dmsuperman | fiya_werkin, I was actually debating selling my second gig of memory until I started doing more virtual machine work | 05:33 |
| graft | a gaming machine running linux? | 05:33 |
| * fiya_werkin nods | 05:33 | |
| graft | we're going dangerously offtopic here... | 05:33 |
| Speedy | dmsuperman, i've only had issues with the php plugin really | 05:33 |
| Speedy | so maybe i'm being too harsh | 05:33 |
| fiya_werkin | dmsuperman, yeah, i had a spare 2 gigs lying around that I never RMA'd until i started playing with virtualbox as well, it runs pretty good on ubuntu but the extra ram helps | 05:34 |
| graft | are there good games in ubuntu? like, not idle-time games, but FPSs and such | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | No1CaNTeL, There's really not too much you can do | 05:34 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, nexuiz / bzflag / armagetron advanced / sauerbraten | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | graft, we aren't talking about gaming, just the fact that our rigs were built to game so when we do things like run linux then there is nothing to worry about as far as resource usage | 05:34 |
| * No1CaNTeL wants to kick linuxpenguin in the butt for telling an uber to sudo halt his system!! | 05:35 | |
| graft | fiya_werkin: anything that has a storyline? | 05:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | lesson learned :P | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | I could have swore there was a quake game in linux | 05:35 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, whats a storyline :) | 05:35 |
| graft | dmsuperman: yeah, quake | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | Speedy, I primarily do PHP | 05:35 |
| phobiac | Have you guys tried urban terror? | 05:35 |
| Jesus_Quintana | when running 'hostname --fqdn' i get a message 'hostname: Unknown host' | 05:35 |
| fiya_werkin | when i want story, I play muds | 05:35 |
| phobiac | It's like counter strike mixed with quake, not bad really. | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | when I want a story, I read a book...but that's just me | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | but I'm off to bed | 05:36 |
| graft | that's what i like best about games | 05:36 |
| dmsuperman | actually probably to read one of those ancient things...books | 05:36 |
| graft | i want high-quality, polished, free-software games with great storylines | 05:36 |
| swiftkick | hello | 05:37 |
| Speedy | graft, you wont find many of them yet | 05:37 |
| Speedy | or any for that matter | 05:37 |
| graft | this will have to change | 05:37 |
| Speedy | good games are usually made for money | 05:37 |
| graft | so what? operating systems are usually made for money | 05:37 |
| No1CaNTeL | kk, gonna try to reboot a couple more times, maybe I had a bad load. if not, then it will be a long night :P thanks again for the help guys :D | 05:38 |
| Speedy | graft, not true | 05:38 |
| Speedy | games are though | 05:38 |
| phobiac | Most free software games I can think of are played by the people who make them, so the quality of the game reflects how much time they want to invest in it. | 05:38 |
| amenado | Jesus_Quintana-> can you paste your /etc/hosts file? | 05:39 |
| * No1CaNTeL cringes to think that all of this started because some cute brunette got him addicted to Guitar Hero 3 and needed a full windows install.... | 05:39 | |
| fiya_werkin | this is why i like muds, its a combination of books, choose your own adventurers, and just fun | 05:39 |
| phobiac | Okay this is annoying. I have no idea how to reinstall grub without reinstalling linux. | 05:40 |
| graft | No1CaNTeL: just get a wii man | 05:40 |
| fiya_werkin | !grub | 05:40 |

| phixxor | hey guys, my computer is using the wrong /boot/grub/menu.lst how can I make it use the correct one? | 05:40 |
| graft | phixxor: how do you have more than one? | 05:40 |
| amenado | phixxor-> how do you know it is using the wrong one? | 05:40 |
| No1CaNTeL | meh, I'll stick with my XBMC Xbox, that sys is not for the lazy gamer ;) | 05:40 |
| phobiac | Thank you, that should help. | 05:40 |
| fiya_werkin | mostly I just play TF2 anymore | 05:41 |
| fiya_werkin | but it doens't run well enough in linux yet so thats why i dual | 05:41 |
| graft | there are rumors valve is porting source to linux | 05:41 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, heard that | 05:41 |
| phixxor | graft, amenado, I have more than one because I have more than one linux installs on this computer, and I know I'm using the wrong one because both are different, and the one it's using is the one on the other partition that I don't want it to use | 05:41 |
| theFATMAN | need help with unrar | 05:41 |
| graft | phixxor: well, tell it the correct partition to use | 05:42 |
| phixxor | how? | 05:42 |
| puff | I'm installing 8.0.4. I'm using manual partitioning. In the "new partition" dialog I enter partition size 10000, and then back at the main partition dialog, it says 10001. I enter 14000, main dialog says 13999. Wtf? | 05:42 |
| amenado | phixxor-> well then use the correct menu.lst corresponding to the one you are booting to | 05:42 |
| graft | phixxor: first of all, run grub-install from the correct linux install | 05:42 |
| theFATMAN | phixxor: u talkin to me? | 05:42 |
| phobiac | Those guides are old, I've tried the gui method on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto and it doesn't work anymore. The installer installs over the old system and reeks havoc. The commandline version it gives won't work either, I don't have a stage1 file. | 05:42 |
| phixxor | theFATMAN, naw, i'm talking to the other guys | 05:42 |
| theFATMAN | phixxor: oh, lol | 05:42 |
| graft | phixxor: second of all, make sure that it has its partitions straight when it boots | 05:42 |
| amenado | !who | phixxor | 05:42 |
| ubottu | phixxor: 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 :) | 05:42 |
| theFATMAN | phixxor, damn i got happy | 05:43 |
| DrBanzai | Okay, I got my wireless to show up under networks, on my Acer 5920 with the Intel 3945 chipset, under Ubuntu Hardy Heron, but now when I do an ifdown, and then an ifup on wlan0 I get the following: http://pastebin.com/m1226b14d | 05:43 |
| graft | phixxor: did you do the first part correctly? | 05:43 |
| graft | theFATMAN: what's your problem? | 05:43 |
| phixxor | graft, amenado, yeah, I was looking into that, but I don't know what to put after "sudo grub-install <something>" | 05:43 |
| graft | DrBanzai: why ifup/down, and not network manager? | 05:43 |
| graft | phixxor: put the device of the drive you want it to boot from | 05:43 |
| phobiac | phixxor: My problem too. | 05:43 |
| theFATMAN | graft, i have unrar installed, but when i go to extract it gives me a device error message now, was not so earlier | 05:43 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> do a lshw -C network to confirm your wireless card and driver it uses | 05:43 |
| graft | phixxor: like /dev/hda if that's what it boots from | 05:44 |
| puff | graft: Btw, one gotcha to be aware of is that ifup/ifdown use a different set of lock files than iwconfig eth1 up and iwconfig eth1 down. | 05:44 |
| graft | theFATMAN: can you pastebin the output? | 05:44 |
| phobiac | graft: I have linux installed on /dev/sda3, so I would run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda3"? | 05:44 |
| theFATMAN | graft, just a sec | 05:44 |
| phixxor | graft: ok, so if the /boot I want it to use is /dev/sda6, I do sudo grub-install /dev/sda6 | 05:44 |
| puff | graft: It's no big deal, but just remember that if you bring the interface down with iwconfig, then ifup will tell you it's already up. | 05:44 |
| graft | phobiac: no. do you understand what an MBR is? | 05:44 |
| graft | phobiac: err sorry, that was for phixxor | 05:44 |
| graft | phobiac: no wait, now i'm all confused | 05:45 |
| phixxor | graft, I've heard of the MBR but I don't know what/where it is | 05:45 |
| graft | oh i see, you both have the same issue | 05:45 |
| phobiac | graft: I've got the same problem basically, I'll just sit quiet and listen. | 05:45 |
| amenado | phixxor-> you can do grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda6 assuming your /boot is in /dev/sda6 | 05:45 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Umm...I'm trying out utorrent, but I'm experiencing an interesting error. | 05:45 |
| graft | phixxor: okay, one of your drives probably has a boot flag, which you can find out with gparted | 05:45 |

| theFATMAN | graft, inappropriate ioctl for device | 05:45 |
| phixxor | graft, I'm pretty sure it's my windows partition, /dev/sda1 | 05:45 |
| fiya_werkin | phixxor, are all the partitions on one drive | 05:46 |
| graft | phixxor: well, check to make sure | 05:46 |
| puff | Is there any way to edit a partition size once I've created it in the partitioning dialog? | 05:46 |
| phixxor | fiya_werkin, yes | 05:46 |
| graft | phixxor: that's the drive you want to install grub to | 05:46 |
| graft | phixxor: ah, so you only have one physical hard drive? | 05:46 |
| theFATMAN | graft, inappropriate ioctl for device | 05:46 |
| graft | phixxor: in that case you only have one boot sector, so grub-install /dev/sda should work | 05:46 |
| fiya_werkin | corollax, what error? | 05:46 |
| phixxor | graft, amenado, yes /dev/sda1 has the boot flag | 05:46 |
| graft | theFATMAN: that sounds like a bad disk error, nothing to do with unrar | 05:46 |
| blackluster | join please | 05:47 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: No terminal output... | 05:47 |
| theFATMAN | graft, checkdisc gives me the ok | 05:47 |
| amenado | phixxor-> it is not essential to have grub installed in the mbr, it can be installed on the partition where the linux is installed | 05:47 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: but after about 15 seconds, it says "error: Access denied" under the status bar | 05:47 |
| theFATMAN | graft, on vista(which sucks) it works fine(winrar) | 05:47 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: I'm thinking that it might be a permissions issue. | 05:48 |
| phixxor | amenado, I have the /boot I want to use on it's own partition, which is /dev/sda7. How do I tell the computer to boot with that GRUB? | 05:48 |
| theFATMAN | graft, brb | 05:48 |
| phobiac | graft: I've got one hard drive, linux on partition /dev/sda3 and windows on /dev/sda1. I ran sudo grub-install /dev/sda and it gives me an error: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. | 05:48 |
| fiya_werkin | corollax, access denied? like the tracker status? | 05:48 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: Precisely. | 05:48 |
| corollax | fiya_werkin: I've tried it with three torrents now. (an open office installer for windows is my current test subject) | 05:48 |
| amenado | phixxor-> you can do grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda7 assuming your /boot is in /dev/sda7 | 05:48 |
| graft | phobiac: is /boot a separate partition? | 05:49 |
| puff | Is journaling enabled by default on an ext3 partition created at installation? | 05:49 |

| catunda | hi, i've trying to set iptables masquerade between tun0 -> eth0. All the packets sent correctly to target but don't throught the tun0. Does anyone have any tips? | 05:50 |
| amenado | phixxor-> wait a minute, you have a second linux? if you do, you can have your 1st booting linux to have its menu.lst to point to the second install of linux | 05:50 |
| phobiac | graft: I have no menu.lst | 05:50 |

| graft | phobiac: the mbr is just a sector of the disk | 05:50 |
| phixxor | amenado, graft, so "grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda7" because /boot is in /dev/sda7 ? (Just doublechecking with both of you) | 05:50 |
| graft | phobiac: no menu.lst would be a big problem for grub, eh | 05:50 |
| phobiac | graft: Oh okay. And yeah, that's why I need to reinstall it from scratch. | 05:50 |
| phixxor | amenado, I've manually edited my menu.lst to point to the second linux and windows -- I can show you if you want | 05:50 |
| fiya_werkin | basically, the mbr is what gets booted off of, grub installs directions there saying 'boot off of my menu.lst file somewhere', and then that menu file tells the system how to boot the different os's | 05:50 |
| phobiac | graft: I'd rather reinstall grub and not linux though. | 05:50 |
| amenado | phixxor-> that will be much better, paste in pastebin your menu.lst for the 1st linux that is booting okay | 05:51 |
| fiya_werkin | phobiac - im not sure, but maybe a sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub ? | 05:51 |
| phixxor | amenado, ok | 05:51 |
| graft | phobiac: no, you just need to run update-grub | 05:51 |
| Templaria1 | we'll say i have my folders for SVN and local host like so: /home/templarian/www and /home/templarian/repos , why in the world won't svn connect to the bloody project in /home/templarian/repos/trunk | 05:51 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Ok, looks like it's using the right driver... | 05:51 |
| fiya_werkin | i think there is a grubconfig app also that might do it, again not positive tho | 05:51 |
| phobiac | graft: I have no grub at all though, just the /boot directory with no /grub. Update grub will work? | 05:52 |
| phixxor | is something wrong with the pastebin? | 05:52 |
| graft | phobiac: err... is grub installed? | 05:52 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> please paste the result of lshw -C network for us to confirm | 05:52 |
| phobiac | graft: No, that's the problem. | 05:52 |
| graft | phobiac: i mean do you have the package installed? | 05:52 |
| phixxor | !pastebin | 05:52 |

| dpreacher | 2. rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox | 05:53 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, if hes on the livecd, hes not running off of his acutal / | 05:53 |
| dpreacher | 3. sudo apt-get install firefox-2 | 05:53 |
| amenado | phobiac-> how you manage to install without the /boot/grub/ and the files there ? | 05:53 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Done | 05:53 |
| dpreacher | will that be all | 05:53 |
| dpreacher | is it required to restart anything? | 05:53 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> where is the link? | 05:53 |
| dpreacher | i have kept backup of the profile dir. | 05:53 |
| dpreacher | is the ffx3 profile dir not compatible with ffx2? | 05:54 |
| fiya_werkin | graft, wouldn't he need to chroot to his actual install and run grub install from there? | 05:54 |
| phobiac | graft: Just run update-grub from the live CD? | 05:54 |
| dpreacher | please help. thanks in advance | 05:54 |
| fiya_werkin | or will it ask him where to put the files? | 05:54 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Oh sorry, http://pastebin.com/m6d5af4 | 05:54 |
| graft | phobiac: no, fiya_werkin is probably right | 05:54 |
| phobiac | amenade: I ran the install and it worked fine up until it was installing grub...I got an IO error something and the computer froze for several hours. | 05:54 |
| graft | phobiac: do you have your real drive mounted somewhere? | 05:54 |
| phobiac | graft: No, but I can mount it. | 05:55 |
| loller | can gedit highlight assembly code ? somebody to help me | 05:55 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> i think your clue is *-network DISABLED | 05:55 |
| phobiac | It's under /media/disk now. | 05:55 |
| graft | phobiac: well mount it, then do sudo chroot /mounted/drive/directory update-grub | 05:55 |
| phixxor | amenado, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14006/ this is the menu.lst I want to use. I'm currently running on the first entry on that list (is that the most up to date version of the kernel for amd64, btw (if you know)) | 05:56 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, why did you want to delete ff3 | 05:56 |
| amenado | phobiac-> as an fyi, the /boot/grub/ directory contains the stage15 and stage2 files plus the menu.lst ..so after you issue those command suggested by others, verify that you have what I just said | 05:56 |
| dpreacher | because i needed google toolbar to work on it. | 05:56 |
| dpreacher | it is very much important for my work | 05:56 |
| giloth | good evening fellow geeks ^^ | 05:57 |
| dpreacher | funny thing is google toolbar makes you download the 968kb file n then says 'can't do' | 05:57 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Ok...so how do I enable it? It's got a check mark next to it in the Network control panel | 05:57 |
| puff | Templaria1: I'm there, but about to go drinknig. | 05:57 |
| graft | phixxor: i'm pretty sure that won't work, since i think your boot directory will become your / | 05:57 |
| Zaiden | Why did they make Pulseaudio a requirement to run ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> click on properties and check to make sure its okay, that should activate it | 05:58 |
| phobiac | graft: I ran the command and I noticed this "Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1 | 05:58 |
| phobiac | " | 05:58 |
| Zaiden | 8.04* | 05:58 |
| graft | phixxor: you need to make the root the actual root partition | 05:58 |
| phixxor | graft, is there some way I can pastebin my partition map for you guys? I think tha twould help too | 05:58 |
| phixxor | amenado, ^^ | 05:58 |
| puff | Templaria1: I don't know offhand, but I can say that the one thing I had trouble with in svn was exactly what your'e stuck on. | 05:58 |
| phobiac | graft: I'm not 100% sure, but linux is on /dev/sda3. Shouldn't that be the root? | 05:58 |
| puff | Templaria1: One thing to remember, in CVS there is One True Repository. In svn, you can just create a repository anywhere. You can create a private repository of your own, etc. | 05:59 |
| phobiac | I also got sh: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied | 05:59 |
| EsTEx | Does anyone know if its possible to ignore certain updates? | 05:59 |
| amenado | phixxor-> from what you pasted, line 130 is what you boot to now? and which 2nd one you'd like to boot to? which line number? | 05:59 |
| puff | Templaria1: I wish I had a better answer for you, but I'd have to puzzle it out, and I have to go. | 05:59 |
| Templaria1 | puff its okay | 05:59 |
| puff | Templaria1: Possibly go ask in a programming-oriented channel that has svn users. Or ask in #svn? | 05:59 |
| EsTEx | I'm constantly annoyed by the update icon when the only update is one I'd rather not install | 05:59 |
| amenado | phixxor-> yes you can pastebin your /boot/grub/device.map too | 05:59 |
| Templaria1 | puff: im not going to figure it out tonight probably | 05:59 |
| Templaria1 | puff: will do | 06:00 |
| puff | Good luck. | 06:00 |
| puff | Good night. | 06:00 |
| amenado | EsTEx-> learn to ignore :P | 06:00 |
| phobiac | Thank you guys for your help so far. | 06:00 |
| EsTEx | amenado: heh... | 06:00 |
| phixxor | amenado, lol that just contains the one line: (hd0)/dev/sda | 06:00 |
| EsTEx | Is there at least a configuration file I could edit or something? | 06:00 |
| amenado | phixxor-> okay, but for your second linux partition it also has a boot/grub/device.map? what is its contents? | 06:01 |
| bazhang | dbpreacher which aspects did you need? | 06:02 |
| bazhang | oh he left | 06:02 |
| phixxor | amenado, but yes, line 130 is the one I'm booting from right now, that's where the grub I want to use is. The secondary linux partition is in /dev/sda9, I'll go look up those contents (line 143 in this menu.lst) | 06:02 |
| graft | phobiac: hmm. i think you might have to mount /dev as well | 06:02 |
| amenado | EsTEx-> i dont know, on mine, i just rigth click on the icon and uncheck the notification | 06:02 |
| dpreacher | bazhang was that aspect thing for me? | 06:03 |
| phobiac | graft: How do I do that? | 06:03 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Well, looks like no matter how I try to enable it, it stays disabled, under the lshw command... | 06:03 |
| MattCampbell | Is the OpenSSH server included in the default Ubuntu desktop install? If so, how does one start it from the command line? | 06:03 |
| dpreacher | dbpreacher didn't exactly ring a bell with my chatzilla | 06:03 |
| dpreacher | so i missed it | 06:03 |
| amenado | phixxor-> what happens when you do indeed select the entry 143 during boot? | 06:03 |
| Zaiden | Is it possible that a program's sound lags because it uses too much of the system memory | 06:03 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, which part of that toolbar did you need? there are number of replacements for ff3 | 06:03 |
| graft | phobiac: try sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/root/dev | 06:03 |
| phixxor | amenado, well I never see line 143, because this isn't the menu I get when I boot, I get the other menu | 06:04 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> can you please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file too? | 06:04 |
| dpreacher | bazhang i particularly am interested in the PageRank feature primarily. | 06:04 |
| graft | phobiac: i think you ought to be able to get away without a /proc | 06:04 |
| * Templaria1 thinks the svn channel is dead | 06:04 | |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Sure... | 06:04 |
| amenado | phixxor-> what other menu? | 06:04 |
| phixxor | amenado, the one that lives on /dev/sda9 | 06:04 |
| illriginal | ROFLMAO Hardy is the best distro I've ever had. You can put your mouse on a music file and it'll start to play, as soon as you remove the mouse from the icon/file (song) the song stops playing. | 06:04 |
| phixxor | amenado, the one I want to use lives on /dev/sda7 | 06:04 |
| bazhang | well dpreacher as you have already deleted ff3 it is a bit late. | 06:04 |
| dpreacher | isn't ff3 available on the repos? | 06:04 |
| amenado | phixxor-> why not make them two the same? | 06:04 |
| phobiac | graft: The mount point doesn't exist, should I just sudo mkdir /mnt/root/dev? | 06:05 |
| dpreacher | s/on/in | 06:05 |
| graft | phobiac: err, what was your mount point again? | 06:05 |
| graft | phobiac: /media/disk/dev | 06:05 |
| amenado | phixxor-> the ones you pasted, was from which menu.lst? the 1st or the 2nd? | 06:05 |
| phobiac | graft: Oh okay, I should use /media/disk/dev? Sorry. | 06:05 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, next time you might want to check the extensions on offer; additionally the older plugins will be updated as ff3 will soon be reaching final status in ubuntu | 06:05 |
| dpreacher | also another irritating bug was that the flash graphic was covering any rollover drop down js menus | 06:06 |
| phixxor | amenado, the thing is, I'll probably reformat sda9 eventually, it's the partition I use to install test operating systems | 06:06 |
| graft | phobiac: might as well mount /proc - mount -t proc none /media/disk/proc | 06:06 |
| graft | phobiac: then it oughta work okay, hopefully | 06:06 |
| dpreacher | i really cannot wait for the upgrades... | 06:06 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: http://pastebin.com/m203c19a3 | 06:06 |
| dpreacher | but if you have alternatives that show PR i am all ears | 06:06 |
| dpreacher | n eyes | 06:06 |
| amenado | phixxor-> well whatever you decide, you just have to correct the menu.lst so you can have the correct menu for selections | 06:06 |
| phixxor | amenado, the one I showed you is the /boot/grub/menu.lst that I want to use, but isn't in use right now. the one on sda7. | 06:06 |
| illriginal | what's goin on what update, which distro? | 06:06 |
| EsTEx | amenado: Ok so I just disabled recommended updates | 06:07 |
| bazhang | https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/321 like this dpreacher | 06:07 |
| phobiac | graft: I was about to say there was an error, but the /proc thing fixed it. It worked fine. Anything else I should do? | 06:07 |
| phixxor | amenado, I'm getting the other menu.lst and device map to show you | 06:07 |
| simso | can someone please help me configure x so that that my nvidia graphics card is allowed to be set at a higher resolution? before i was using onboard graphics and recently i purchased and installed a different one which is still for some reason only allowing me to use a certain resolution i tried to reconfigure x but it didn't seem to help | 06:07 |
| graft | phobiac: update-grub ran okay? see if you have a menu.lst | 06:07 |
| graft | phobiac: and see if it has the entries you want | 06:07 |
| graft | phobiac: in /media/disk/boot/grub/ | 06:08 |
| EsTEx | What is your favorite music player | 06:08 |
| bazhang | simso, which card | 06:08 |
| hischild | !poll | EsTEx | 06:08 |
| ubottu | EsTEx: 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. | 06:08 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> when you click on System->Administration->Network and the window pop up..what is checked? | 06:08 |
| simso | geforce 5700, bazhang | 06:08 |
| bazhang | !player | EsTEx | 06:08 |
| ubottu | EsTEx: 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 | 06:08 |
| simso | bazhang, i do have the drivers enabled as well | 06:08 |
| bazhang | EsTEx, ask in #ubuntu-bots | 06:09 |

| bazhang | simso, what res you have and what do you want | 06:09 |
| phobiac | graft: Menu.lst is there, but it doesn't have any entries. The only question I have is how do I know what kernel my linux install is using? | 06:09 |
| simso | bazhang, its set at 800x600 the max it will run at i would like it to be at 1280x1024 | 06:09 |
| dpreacher | bazhang thanks :) very much | 06:10 |
| hischild | ToxicSoul: if you use public/private key, add the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. | 06:10 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Well, now only Wired is checked...other options are wireless and point to point. I have tried putting a check next to wireless, to no avail. | 06:10 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | guys this is realy important, i am in need of starcraft and i cant play because im behind a firewall, i have connected via VPN to my home ubuntu server and i need UDP forwarded, how can i config starcraft to use that VPN tunnel in my windows machine ? | 06:10 |
| graft | phobiac: uname -a | 06:10 |
| bazhang | simso, what about gksudo displayconfig-gtk does that let you run a better res | 06:10 |
| phobiac | graft: That will work from the live cd? | 06:10 |
| ToxicSoul | hischild: thats not via .shost (hostbased).. I can get keybased to work fine | 06:10 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, :) | 06:10 |
| graft | phobiac: that will tell you the kernel the live cd is running... the kernel you booted with | 06:10 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> when you enable the checkmark for wireless what happens? | 06:10 |
| graft | phobiac: there might be multiple kernels installed on your linux partition, any one of which you can boot from | 06:11 |
| pen | hi. Anyone here use swiftweasel? | 06:11 |
| simso | bazhang, it says command not found.. | 06:11 |
| dpreacher | bazhang do you have any idea why if an extension is ff2 compatible but not ff3 compatible. it won't even let me right click and save the .xpi in the new site design? | 06:11 |
| bazhang | simso, this is gutsy then? | 06:11 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> is it grey out that you can not check it? | 06:11 |
| simso | bazhang, no its hardy heron | 06:11 |
| prettyricky | how do I add a splash screen? | 06:11 |
| graft | phobiac: no entries at all? hrm | 06:11 |
| phobiac | graft: Okay. It'd probably be the same kernel that the install would have used anyway. | 06:11 |
| phixxor | amenado, graft, menu.lst I'm stuck with now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14008/ , mount: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14009/ , sda9's device map: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14011/ | 06:11 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: It is grey until I click on the unlock button and enter the root password. | 06:11 |
| dpreacher | bazhang do you really really mean i cannot get back to ff3 or are you just wishing it badly? :P | 06:11 |
| bazhang | simso, how did you install the drivers | 06:11 |
| phobiac | graft: All the examples and stuff are there, just no entries. | 06:12 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, you can get it back | 06:12 |
| simso | bazhang, i just enabled them in restricted drivers | 06:12 |
| dpreacher | yaayy | 06:12 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: As far as what happens when I check it...the check appeared, but nothing else has happened yet. | 06:12 |
| graft | phobiac: try running update-grub again | 06:12 |
| pen | dpreacher, something wrong with ff3? | 06:12 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> okay then allow yourself to unlock it and the put the check mark, then lets look at the properties | 06:12 |
| bazhang | simso, you mean hardware drivers? | 06:12 |
| pen | dpreacher, you can try swiftweasel | 06:12 |
| simso | bazhang, yeah | 06:12 |
| dpreacher | pen: needed the Google Toolbar | 06:12 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Ok, looking at properties... | 06:13 |
| ToxicSoul | I need help getting authentication via ~/.shosts to work, the publickey is on the remote machine, afaik my sshd_config is right, and the .shosts file is right.. : http://rafb.net/p/NDQ1IP35.html | 06:13 |
| graft | phobiac: this is really the sort of thing the live-cd should have a utility for, too bad it doesn't | 06:13 |
| bazhang | simso, I used envyng-gtk to fix that up; no worries after that | 06:13 |
| phobiac | graft: I noticed that when I ran it again it said "grep: /boot/config*: No such file or directory" | 06:13 |
| dpreacher | bazhang the searchstatus extension connects to alexa as well...isn't that an uncool site privacy wise...or is that a myth? | 06:13 |
| simso | bazhang, so? any ideas? | 06:14 |
| amenado | phixxor-> well whatever you decide, you just have to correct the menu.lst so you can have the correct menu for selections | 06:14 |
| phobiac | graft: The live DVD (I have that too, but my DVD drive is giving me hell for some reason) USED to have a "rescue a broken system" option. | 06:14 |
| graft | phobiac: no idea what that's about... did it report any entries this time? | 06:14 |
| phobiac | graft: I've no idea where it went though. | 06:14 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, not sure, there are other options if you search for pagerank in extensions are | 06:14 |
| phixxor | amenado, that's not the issue -- both menu.lsts do what I want them to -- I just want the computer to use the one that won't get deleted when I reformat | 06:14 |
| prettyricky | how do I add a splash screen? | 06:14 |
| dpreacher | sure i will do that | 06:14 |
| pen | hi. Anyone here use swiftweasel? Which build is the optimized for core 2 duo? | 06:14 |

| Smegzor | Can anyone recommend a guide to dual booting two Linuxes? I've installed Fedora 9 over top of XP (oooh that felt good), but I don't see it in grub. I only see all my Ubuntu grub entries. | 06:15 |
| phixxor | Y, I'm pretty sure you can right click on it and say remove | 06:15 |
| graft | phobiac: did it make /boot/grub/stage1? | 06:15 |
| amenado | phixxor-> you can always save a copy, just in case the one you wanted got deleted..keep it in a safe place | 06:15 |
| phixxor | Y, nope, sorry | 06:15 |
| simso | bazhang, i've also tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:16 |
| phixxor | amenado, if I reformat, and try to boot the computer, it will say no disk | 06:16 |
| phobiac | graft: Uh..no. | 06:16 |
| phixxor | amenado, lol this has happened before | 06:16 |
| giloth | easiest way i've found to dual boot vista and ubuntu (would also work in XP) would be to shrink the volume in windows under computer management and then have ubuntu use the largest amount of continuous free space | 06:16 |
| phobiac | graft: I just noticed there aren't any stage files at all. And I don't see any kernels under /boot. | 06:16 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Everything looks to be fine...unless I'm giving it the wrong WPA password... | 06:17 |
| Y | How do I remove a link to a program from the Applications Menu? | 06:17 |
| hischild | graft: if you're running update-grub or grub-install or anything else, make sure you chroot into the real env first and don't run it directly from the live env. | 06:17 |
| amenado | phixxor-> then it behoves you to know which partitions is which, i cant give you anymore info other than you better make sure you format the correct partitions, | 06:17 |
| giloth | right click applications and edit menus | 06:17 |
| teeshep | hey! can i have some help with GRUB? I installed windows after in installed Ubuntu Gutsy, and it erased (disabled?) my GRUB. How do i get it back? | 06:17 |

| phobiac | graft: Should I do a grub-install? I don't think it's installed. | 06:18 |
| giloth | uh oh fussy baby - brb | 06:18 |
| graft | phobiac: grub-install is useless without a proper menu.lst | 06:18 |
| amenado | phixxor-> your bios point to the bootable disk, and it will look in its mbr | 06:18 |
| graft | phobiac: grub-install actually puts it on the MBR | 06:18 |
| phobiac | graft: Oh okay. | 06:18 |
| graft | phobiac: you can try dpkg-reconfigure grub | 06:18 |
| phixxor | amenado, ok, how do I tell the MBR to look at sda7 instead of sda9 for menu.lst | 06:19 |
| graft | phobiac: chrooted, of course | 06:19 |

| graft | phobiac: well that explains at least part of your problem | 06:23 |
| phixxor | graft: what's the syntax, I couldn't figure it out. sda1 is bootable, sda7 is /boot, and sda8 is / | 06:23 |
| Y | LOL -> http://pastebin.com/f22329ab1 | 06:23 |
| phobiac | graft: Yeah lol. Is this at the point where a full reinstall would be easier? | 06:23 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: That results in: http://pastebin.com/m4134f34b | 06:24 |
| PMantis | Hello! An upgrade of my 7.10 server to 8.04 left bluetooth broken. I used to send files from my phone to the server (obviously without physical access to the server) which were automatically processed. I was using obexpushd, is there a more approved/integrated way? | 06:24 |
| phixxor | phobiac, sounds like it to me - especially if you're trying to fix a fresh install that went bad | 06:24 |
| phobiac | I haven't even booted into linux once. | 06:24 |
| hischild | phobiac: do you have a seperate /boot partition? | 06:24 |
| phobiac | hischild: No | 06:24 |
| phixxor | phobiac, better to just reinstall the whole thing | 06:24 |
| Eric | How do I change the default sound device in Hardy Heron? I have an onboard Realtek chip and an Audigy 4. | 06:24 |
| phobiac | phixxor: Alright. | 06:24 |
| graft | phobiac: where the heck are your kernels? are yo usure you don't have a separate boot partition? | 06:24 |
| phixxor | phobiac, good luck! | 06:24 |
| hwdyki | where can i find agar packages? | 06:25 |
| hischild | Eric: administration => preferences => sound | 06:25 |
| phobiac | I meant to but /home in a seperate partition, but I kept getting weird errors about my partitions not being big enough. | 06:25 |
| graft | phobiac: oh, if this is a fresh install, i agree you should just reinstall | 06:25 |
| hischild | phobiac: count the output of this command and tell me how many partitions you have (in a new terminal please) ==> sudo fdisk -l | 06:25 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: And I did reboot my wireless access point/router before I started all this. | 06:25 |
| teeshep | hey can i have some help re-enabling grub after installing windows? i've followed the tutorials but it doesn't seem to work | 06:25 |
| phobiac | Okay, I'll go that route. | 06:25 |
| Eric | hischild, I'm not having any luck there. | 06:25 |
| hischild | Eric: what is "not having any luck" in this case? | 06:26 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> I just recalled now, that one person last week mentioned the difficulty with intel 3945 chips...i dont remember the solution though | 06:26 |
| Y | teeshep: What seems to be the problem? | 06:26 |
| yupperz | is google.com down? | 06:26 |
| hwdyki | nobody... | 06:26 |
| Y | yupperz: You bet. | 06:26 |
| Eric | Um, which am I supposed to change? | 06:26 |
| Bugs_Bunnybr | someone here knows some thing about (k)ubuntu 8.04 dont respect the /etc/group ?? | 06:26 |
| Eric | "default mixer tracks"? | 06:26 |
| teeshep | Y: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764235 | 06:26 |
| DrBanzai | amenado: Ahhh...yeah, I seem to recall some mention of it as well...but thought the newest drivers took care of it. | 06:26 |
| phobiac | hischild: I have three partitions. I know that without running it. | 06:27 |
| hischild | phobiac: 1. please still run it and check it to be sure. 2. what partitions? | 06:27 |
| phobiac | hischild: The first is NTFS (windows), the second is swap, and the third is ext3 (Linux) | 06:27 |
| amenado | DrBanzai-> it could have been, try to see if they have posted the solution ...google for it? | 06:27 |
| phixxor | ok graft, amenado, I'm trying to use install-grub to install the /boot I have mounted right now (sda7) to the MBR. My root partition is sda8. How? | 06:28 |
| phobiac | hischild: I just double checked to be sure, and no my kernels didn't somehow end up on the windows partition. | 06:28 |
| phixxor | phobiac, how many partitions do you have total? | 06:28 |
| Eric | hischild, what am I supposed to change? | 06:29 |
| phobiac | hischild: I had to inturrupt the install when it was installed the boot manager, the computer froze. I left it for about three hours and it was still frozen. | 06:29 |
| amenado | phixxor-> you sudo grub, then on grub menu find /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:29 |
| teeshep | Y: any suggestions? | 06:29 |
| phobiac | phixxor: Three. | 06:29 |
| absnt | Why doesnt the Bluetooth icon show in my taskbar? | 06:29 |
| Bugs_Bunnybr | someone here knows some thing about (k)ubuntu 8.04 dont respect the /etc/group ?? | 06:29 |
| Bacta | Hi I have a beta of Hardy Heron, how can I upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| koheleth | the numers lock is not activating on boot, I have it on in the bios though, how do I fix this? | 06:29 |
| amenado | phixxor-> then root ( press tab twice | 06:29 |
| Y | Bugs_Bunnybr: Go to #kubuntu. | 06:29 |
| phixxor | phobiac, windows, linux, swap? In that case just reinstall linux. make sure your cd is without defects though | 06:29 |
| blackluster | thanks | 06:29 |
| amenado | phixxor-> then setroot i believe.. i cant remember off hand | 06:29 |
| teeshep | Y: any suggestions? | 06:30 |
| hischild | phobiac: then a reinstall is probably easier yeah. | 06:30 |
| Eric | Bacta, does running the update manager give you an option to update to the full release? | 06:30 |
| Bugs_Bunnybr | can bee to ubuntu | 06:30 |
| phixxor | amenado, so I don't use grub-install at all? | 06:30 |
| Bugs_Bunnybr | is not about the kde | 06:30 |
| hischild | Eric: that's where your sound settings are. If you need to change something, that's the place | 06:30 |
| Y | teeshep: One sec, while I work this out. | 06:30 |
| phobiac | phixxor: I checked it. The problem was my DVD drive. It's a crappy matshita or something and the CD part works fine but it's having issues booting DVDs. | 06:30 |
| duane | anyone try to install eclipse web package for html editing it fails in ubuntu for me | 06:30 |
| teeshep | Y: okay thank you | 06:30 |
| amenado | phixxor-> thats another way.. | 06:30 |
| koheleth | duane, use bluefish | 06:30 |
| blackluster | talk to me | 06:31 |
| === hwdyki_ is now known as hwdyki | ||
| duane | whats bluefish? | 06:31 |
| hischild | !info bluefish | duane | 06:31 |
| ubottu | duane: bluefish (source: bluefish): advanced Gtk+ HTML editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-4 (hardy), package size 1570 kB, installed size 6728 kB | 06:31 |
| Eric | hischild, But nothing changes. I can change the type of sound for playback, etc and "default mixer tracks" is the only thing relating to the sound device. When I choose the Audigy there and test the audio there is still nothing. | 06:31 |
| phobiac | Anyway yeah, I'll just run an install from the live CD. | 06:31 |
| hwdyki | where can i find agar library and devel packages? | 06:31 |
| dpreacher | which is better? bluefish or screem? | 06:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Bugs_Bunnybr: what about it doesn't ubuntu respect? | 06:31 |
| koheleth | Bluefish | 06:31 |
| amenado | phixxor-> then setup (hdx) | 06:31 |
| phixxor | amenado, well if both of them do the same thing I'm going with your way because that's the only way I have instructions. Thanks :) | 06:31 |
| duane | I like to use one eclpise has koheleth | 06:31 |
| hischild | Eric: then it probably has its own mixer settings. Check that programs preferences | 06:32 |
| dpreacher | is bluefish default on ubuntu? | 06:32 |
| amenado | phixxor-> here is an extensive guide i used as reference http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 06:32 |
| phixxor | amenado, what is (hdx)? | 06:32 |
| Eric | hischild, What program? | 06:32 |
| koheleth | duane, not seen that one, I will take a look myself :) | 06:32 |
| dpreacher | ubuntu hardy i mean | 06:32 |
| phobiac | Oh I have another question. I'm pretty sure that the MBR has been overwritten more than once now, and I've been unable to boot into Windows. Can I use grub to boot into Windows? | 06:32 |
| duane | eclipse is great | 06:32 |
| hischild | Eric: whatever program that you use to check the sound output | 06:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dpreacher: nothing's installed by default, but you can do bluefish or kompozer | 06:32 |
| phixxor | phobiac, yes, it's really easy | 06:32 |
| phobiac | I'm not sure how the whole chainloader thing works. | 06:32 |
| Eric | hischild, That would be the same sound dialog you directed me to. | 06:32 |
| duane | can do java,php,html,c,c++ you name it | 06:32 |
| phixxor | phobiac, I think the installer sets it up for you | 06:32 |
| amenado | phixxor-> go over what i typed earlier starting from find /boot/grub/menu.lst and btw can be found on that link i pasted | 06:32 |
| dpreacher | Daisuke_Ido nothing's installed?! | 06:33 |
| phixxor | amenado, ok, thanks :) | 06:33 |
| tonewhy | i'm new to linux, just installed the newest version. where is the best server or place to get answers? | 06:33 |
| phobiac | phixxor: It's a Vista install though, it'll still work out fine? | 06:33 |
| dpreacher | so among bluefish and kompozer which is the preferred one. I have used kompozer on windows | 06:33 |
| hischild | Eric: if you use for example vlc to check sound, also check the preferences of vlc for the sound settings. | 06:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dpreacher: not for html editing, no, not by default. | 06:33 |
| duane | I was able to install the php extension fine but web one seems fail saying unable to create file | 06:33 |
| Slynker | Same boat as Tone here | 06:33 |
| hischild | Eric: i have to go, breakfast is ready. | 06:33 |
| tonyyarusso | dpreacher: well, I'd vote for KompoZer, but I'm biased :) | 06:33 |
| koheleth | duane, Bluefish is good, quanta is a bit buggy for me, another good one is archnophilia, thats in java though but will edit anything www.arachnoid.com | 06:33 |
| dpreacher | does the *ubuntu line have anything ever for development? | 06:33 |
| blackluster | let me introduce my self | 06:34 |
| koheleth | the numers lock is not activating on boot, I have it on in the bios though, how do I fix this? | 06:34 |
| duane | installing bluefish take a peek at it | 06:34 |
| dpreacher | tonyyarosso: i like the bias :p | 06:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dpreacher: you're not talking just html? | 06:34 |
| sc006 | phobiac, are you trying to reinstall grub | 06:34 |
| bazhang | blackluster, this is not a chat channel | 06:34 |
| phobiac | Lol hischild is going to breakfast, it's like 1:30 A.M. where I am. | 06:34 |
| blackluster | what ever | 06:34 |
| amenado | phobiac-> here is a good reference for grub, in case you get stuck..lots of explanations.. http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 06:34 |
| phobiac | sc006: Yeah | 06:34 |
| duane | that will work i guess thanks koheleth | 06:34 |
| blackluster | ubuntu chanel | 06:34 |
| phixxor | phobiac, I think as far as linux is concerned, windows is windows, and it will work fine | 06:34 |
| sc006 | phobiac, aftern you installed windows | 06:34 |
| tonewhy | which chanel is for newbies like me? | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | dpreacher: (I'm the packager of that particular piece of software, so I'm slightly invested) | 06:34 |
| phobiac | amenado: Thanks, I'll save that. | 06:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | blackluster: not "whatever". this is a support channel. if you have a question, ask it. if not, go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:35 |
| blackluster | any more | 06:35 |
| bazhang | blackluster, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 06:35 |
| Eric | tonewhy, you're probably in the right place | 06:35 |
| dpreacher | just html? maybe. maybe not. i need a solution to move my colleagues away fom dreamweaver and something just as bloated...err...i mean featurefull | 06:35 |
| phobiac | sc006: No, after a messed up grub install. | 06:35 |
| blackluster | yeah you right... | 06:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dpreacher: html, php, etc etc | 06:35 |
| phixxor | phobiac, afaik, all grub really does is relinquish control and let windows boot itself up | 06:35 |
| dpreacher | oh wow nice to know you tonyyrusso | 06:35 |
| sc006 | phobiac, ahh i see | 06:35 |
| tonewhy | ok | 06:35 |
| dpreacher | exactly Daisuke_Ido | 06:35 |
| phobiac | phixxor: I just wasn't sure because Vista has a new bootloader. | 06:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dpreacher: i'm going to have to say kompozer | 06:35 |
| phobiac | New as in not lie the one XP used. | 06:35 |
| phobiac | like* | 06:35 |
| dpreacher | thanks for the votes :D | 06:36 |
| tonyyarusso | I will say KompoZer leaves something to be desired when you move into including PHP, but it handles HTML/XHTML and CSS pretty well. | 06:36 |
| Eric | phobiac, what's the problem you're trying to sort? I just went through some grub hell myself. =P | 06:36 |
| phixxor | phobiac, yeah, that's a good question. maybe somebody else here knows for sure | 06:36 |
| koheleth | the numbers lock is not activating on boot, I have it on in the bios though, how do I fix this? | 06:36 |
| Slynker | Tone, you running live? or planning on duel-booting? | 06:36 |
| sc006 | phobiac, if you follow this it may help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 06:36 |
| tonewhy | i already installed it onto the hardrive | 06:37 |
| phobiac | Eric: Basically grub isn't installed, at all. I had to pull the plug because the computer froze while it was installing linux, but it's a fresh install so I'm just going to restart. | 06:37 |
| sc006 | phobiac, just ignore the windows part | 06:37 |
| Eric | phobiac, Ah, yeah that would probably be the easiest fix. | 06:37 |
| tonewhy | i'm having problems getting my external hard drive to mount | 06:37 |
| === tato is now known as ph00 | ||
| duane | eclipse is a ide koheleth | 06:37 |
| === ph00 is now known as wh0 | ||
| phobiac | sc006: I've tried all that, thank you though. I'm at a point where I don't even have kernels on my linux partition. | 06:37 |
| Eric | How do I change my default sound device? | 06:37 |
| teeshep | Y: you still there? | 06:38 |
| bazhang | eric in sound prefs | 06:38 |
| dpreacher | tonyyarusso the php part is the main stumbling block. but i guess using templates that might be handled well | 06:38 |
| sc006 | phobiac, o lol sounds like u bugger it up good | 06:38 |
| === wh0 is now known as tato^ | ||
| koheleth | duane, ok, where is the site? | 06:38 |
| Eric | bazhang, I'm not getting any change with that. | 06:38 |
| phobiac | phixxor: Any idea how I can set up grub to boot into windows before I install Linux? | 06:38 |
| pen | hi. Anyone here use swiftweasel? Which build is the optimized for core 2 duo? | 06:38 |
| phixxor | amenado, sorry for being so dense, but how do I find the menu.lst from the grub command line? | 06:38 |
| duane | http://www.eclipse.org/ | 06:38 |
| phobiac | phixxor: Do I just add the entry into the menu.lst and do a grub-install? | 06:39 |
| Geoffrey2 | I have several shared drives on my desktop that I'd like to have auto-mounted on my laptop whenever I boot up, what file would I want to set that up in? | 06:39 |
| amenado | phixxor-> thats the exact command you type find /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:39 |
| phixxor | phobiac, yes, you enable hidden menu, and you tell grub to boot from windows by specifying which entry to start from | 06:39 |
| Flannel | phobiac: You change it after you install | 06:39 |
| phixxor | amenado, ah ok | 06:39 |
| sc006 | phobiac, install windows first then ubuntu | 06:39 |
| tonewhy | i have ntfs 3g installed, but when i plugin my external hard drive, it doesn't mount anyone know the problem? | 06:39 |
| blackluster | someone have a "fs"...??? | 06:39 |
| phobiac | sc006: Windows is already installed. | 06:39 |
| No1CaNTeL | hey guys, I was just about to reinstall due to some complications that started due to an interrupted partitioning session. It was suggested to me before that I should reinstall my Ubuntu to solve the errors but after looking into the issue a bit further it seems that one item called "dcopserver" is the problem. I get an error msg when loading most programs regarding the dcopserver file only having one line. anyone have an idea what this is or how to f | 06:39 |
| Flannel | phobiac: when you install Ubuntu, you'll have an entry made for you already | 06:39 |
| phixxor | phobiac, all of that I just said is done by editing menu.lst | 06:39 |
| teeshep | Y? | 06:39 |
| bazhang | blackluster, what is that | 06:39 |
| phobiac | Alright, I'll go that route. Thank you guys. | 06:40 |

| tonewhy | can anyone help me? | 06:40 |
| Y | teeshep: I am still learning though, so don't give up hope just because of me. | 06:41 |

| teeshep | Y: okay. gah. do you have any suggestions of who i can go to next? | 06:41 |
| amenado | phixxor-> dont forget you are booted off of one linux, if you boot to the other, you'd get a different one...so decide which one to keep | 06:41 |
| koheleth | thanks | 06:41 |
| koheleth | obviously an issue then | 06:42 |
| blackluster | so where...?? | 06:42 |
| duane | its user friendly koheleth | 06:42 |
| phobiac | phixxor: Wait one last question, I run sudo grub-install (what goes here?) | 06:42 |
| amenado | phixxor-> if you are using firefox, ctrl+f to get a find box, and inside thebox type find /boot | 06:42 |
| duane | do apt-get install eclipse see for yourself | 06:42 |
| Y | teeshep: Nah, sorry. =( | 06:42 |

| teeshep | Y: righty-o. thanks. | 06:42 |
| blackluster | i dont know about that...!!! | 06:42 |
| phixxor | phobiac, lol that is what I am trying to find out. But if you're reinstalling linux, you don't have to worry about it | 06:43 |
| bazhang | blackluster, type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:43 |
| phobiac | phixxor: I wanted to see if the windows entry for grub would work before I installed Linux, just to check. But ah, okay. | 06:43 |
| phixxor | phobiac, just completely wipe the linux partition and reinstall, as if nothing happened :) | 06:43 |

| Eric | tonewhy, has it been used on a Windows machine last? | 06:44 |
| phixxor | phobiac, as long as you don't erase your windows partition, you'll be fine | 06:44 |
| blackluster | i've done | 06:44 |
| tonewhy | eric: yes | 06:44 |
| tonewhy | i installed the ntfs 3g, but still doesn't work | 06:45 |
| Eric | tonewhy, did you do the "safely remove device" when you took it off? If it doesn't shut down cleanly you'll have to do that on Windows to get it to work. | 06:45 |
| phobiac | phixxor: Lol yeah, that would suck. 5 years worth of building up a music library out the window. I really need a backup hard drive. | 06:45 |
| phixxor | phobiac, ooh yeah I know what you mean! | 06:45 |

| phobiac | Uhh, okay. I can't unmount my linux partition to start installing linux again because an application is using it, but nothing is using it as far as I can tell. | 06:46 |

| marksky | can't seem to get utuntu to load | 06:47 |
| bazhang | marksky, need more info | 06:47 |
| Eric | tonewhy, the last thing I can think of if that doesn't work is that it requires some sort of security software to access it, which you'll probably need to remove to get access in Linux. | 06:47 |
| WhatTheBen | having lots of trouble installing apps | 06:47 |
| marksky | ok... have a pentium pc.... loaded with xp... downloaded with iso image software onto cd | 06:47 |
| bazhang | WhatTheBen, how installed | 06:48 |
| tonewhy | Eric: thanks, i'll be bak in 2min. | 06:48 |
| bazhang | marksky, did you check the md5 of the iso | 06:48 |
| Eric | tonewhy, alright. | 06:48 |
| WhatTheBen | thru add/remove or synaptic | 06:48 |
| phobiac | I feel like such a noob now. I haven't used linux since my Dapper Drake install of Ubuntu crapped out on me and now I'm all rusty. | 06:48 |

| bazhang | marksky, sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso | 06:49 |
| phobiac | Is there any way to see what programs are acessing a mounted drive? | 06:49 |
| johnwa | marksky: might be a bad cd | 06:49 |
| bazhang | WhatTheBen, dont paste them here | 06:49 |
| marksky | eric: no have not checked cd for defects anddon't know what the md5 is | 06:49 |
| phixxor | amenado, problem, the find command is supposed to list all of the partitions with boot menus, but it only sees one of mine | 06:50 |
| WhatTheBen | no i wont | 06:50 |
| bazhang | !md5 | marksky | 06:50 |
| ubottu | marksky: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:50 |
| Flynsarmy | If i have a zip file is it possible to remove every intsance of the file 'error.log' (all in diff subfolders) from it fro mthe terminal without unzipping? | 06:50 |
| phobiac | Marksky: Does the menu come up? It might be the boot options. | 06:50 |
| bazhang | WhatTheBen, to paste.ubuntu.com please with the errors | 06:50 |
| marksky | actually copied it to 2 cd's.... do you think the fact I have a dual monitor would have anything to do with the issue I'm having? | 06:50 |
| phobiac | Marksky: My laptop used to require nolapic noapic until 8.04 came out. | 06:50 |
| Eric | marksky, load the disc up and use the option to check for defects. It was probably a bad burn or download. That'll be easier than doing an MD5 right now. | 06:50 |
| homeslice | ATI did it again, they got my hopes up and let me down with there Linux driver | 06:50 |
| blackluster | .... | 06:51 |
| phobiac | Marksky: Check for defects, if it isn't defective then try booting in safe graphics mode. | 06:51 |
| koheleth | thanks my numbers lock problem is solved, why dont they just patch that? | 06:51 |
| WhatTheBen | bazhang well for starters it freezes when trying to download package information | 06:51 |
| Y | homeslice: lol. That'll come out the same day as iTunes for Linux. = / | 06:51 |
| phixxor | can anyone tell me what will happen if I do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda1"? | 06:51 |
| homeslice | phobiac: latest bios? | 06:51 |
| Nergar | hello | 06:51 |
| bazhang | WhatTheBen, could you pastebin your sources.list please | 06:51 |
| marksky | yes, menu comes up.... and changed the bios to boot from cd and even installed it so that the option came up for me to choose which os I wanted... but every time I select linux it the orange progress graphic freezes. | 06:52 |
| WhatTheBen | i'm working from pc...ubuntu on my notebook | 06:52 |
| phobiac | homeslice: I updated it when the latest came out, I'm not sure what the problem was. | 06:52 |
| bazhang | corrupt iso then marksky do the md5 | 06:52 |
| phobiac | homeslice: I still get a BIOS bug #81 when the live CD boots up though. Everything works fine. | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 81 in rosetta "message 'A system error occurred' when updating a po file" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81 | 06:52 |
| WhatTheBen | bazhang: i'm really new to this, is there a more basic channel? | 06:53 |
| phobiac | I just noticed that my computer runs cooler on Linux, on the live CD no less, than on Vista. | 06:53 |
| homeslice | huh funny | 06:53 |
| ThreeFinity | Anybody know what would cause my sound to randomly stop working and only loop like .5 second of a song and then stop working all together? using 8.04 with hda-intel ALC883 on alsa 1.0.1.16. | 06:53 |
| tonewhy | Eric: thanks it worked! | 06:53 |
| marksky | I'll try and see if it has defects because I've tried loading in other modes and still didn't work. | 06:53 |
| pen | hi. Anyone here use swiftweasel? Which build is the optimized for core 2 duo? | 06:54 |
| Eric | tonewhy, no problems. There used to be a popup that described that, but it may only be if the drive had been mounted once before that. | 06:54 |
| Y | WhatTheBen: Welcome to the most basic of all ubuntu support channels. =D But if you need some more indepth help you can probably query someone in the off-topic room if no one here will help. | 06:54 |
| phobiac | Does anyone know how to see what applications are using mounted drives? | 06:54 |
| bazhang | WhatTheBen, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and then paste that to paste.ubuntu.com (this is from the terminal) | 06:54 |
| marksky | I'll read the above link and come back... thanks for entry suggestions folks. | 06:54 |
| robbie`` | phobiac: does ps aux | grep /dev/device work | 06:54 |
| Eric | I need help getting sound to work out of an Audigy 4 please! | 06:55 |
| tonewhy | Eric: my second problem is i can't get the amsn to connect | 06:55 |
| johnwa | phobiac: fuser | 06:55 |
| koheleth | marksky, when it freezes how long are you waiting? | 06:55 |
| Br0k3 | hello has anyone heard if they have fixed the calibiration for the hp tx2000z tablet? | 06:55 |
| bazhang | WhatTheBen, alt f2 gnome-terminal then type that command and paste | 06:56 |
| Eric | tonewhy, I'm probably not of any use to you there...have you tried using Pidgin? | 06:56 |
| phobiac | robbie: I think that worked, it seems to have given me a PID | 06:56 |
| tonewhy | eric: thanks tho. ya i'm tryin it thru pidgin | 06:57 |
| phobiac | johnwa: Fuser works too, thank you. | 06:57 |
| Y | B20k3: There's this new, innovative website that answers questions like that. It's called GOOGLE. Try it at http://www.google.com/ . It's free, but it might be a bit scary or complicated for the new user. Don't be overwhelmed! We're here to help! =D | 06:57 |
| johnwa | phobiac: welcome | 06:57 |
| bazhang | y please save the chat for offtopic thanks | 06:57 |
| LiniX | I try to use UBUNTU-DB2 Vmware image and GRUB is Error 15, How i fixed ? | 06:57 |

| Y | bazhang: Answering a support question. Please read it next time, thanks. =D | 06:58 |
| phixxor | amenado, this is what happened http://paste.ubuntu.com/14016/ | 06:58 |
| Y | Br0k3: Is there anything else we can help with bud? =) | 06:58 |
| phobiac | robbie: Wait no I'm not sure what that number is, but it isn't a PID | 06:58 |
| pen | hi. Anyone here use swiftweasel? Which build is the optimized for core 2 duo? | 06:58 |

| Myrth[home] | hi, k3b says not enough permissions to access my cd-rw device. which group should i add my user to so it will work? | 06:59 |
| Y | bazhang: Now you're creating off-topic chat! But in answer to your concern, it took care of his problem, didn't it? Thus - I answered a support problem, which is what we're here for. =) | 06:59 |
| Y | Br0k3: Let me take a look and see what the problem is. One moment. | 06:59 |

| Br0k3 | when you have a tablet | 07:07 |
| simplyubuntu | for some reason whenever I dbl click on a desktop icon, ubuntu opens up a text file... weird. | 07:07 |
| simplyubuntu | any ideas? | 07:07 |
| zcat[1] | cvd-pr: does it close -every- time, or just far too often? | 07:08 |
| simplyubuntu | I can pastebin the file if reqd | 07:08 |
| Br0k3 | you got no other choice | 07:08 |
| cvd-pr | zcat[1], the second video i try to view | 07:08 |
| bazhang | Br0k3, do you have a support question or just venting | 07:08 |
| hellues | !paste | 07:08 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 07:08 |
| Br0k3 | yea i thought Y was looking around | 07:09 |
| Y | Br0k3: Have you used this tablet with Windows? If yes, did it have any calibration problems? I am seeing a ton of reports that the tablet is notoriously buggy when using the tablet features - primarily calibration errors. | 07:09 |
| bazhang | Br0k3, could you explain your issue please | 07:09 |
| Br0k3 | i need help calibrating | 07:09 |
| zcat[1] | cvd-pr: hmmm .. mine can usually get through three or four but it crashes very frequently. I never bothered filing a bug 'cos I'm prettu sure the issue is just flash and I don't think the ubuntu devs can fix it. | 07:09 |
| Br0k3 | my stylus and touchscreen on my hp tx2000z | 07:09 |
| dpreacher | bazhang guess what happened? even though i used apt-get purge firefox and installed firefox 2. i found that both versions are co-existing. so is purge not sincere in its workings. since ff3 existed i installed searchstatus and it really is a cool extension | 07:09 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, nice to hear it worked | 07:10 |
| ben | back! | 07:10 |
| Eric | Can somebody help me to get sound working in Hardy Heron? | 07:10 |
| simplyubuntu | here it is! http://pastebin.com/m55031c29 | 07:10 |
| bazhang | Br0k3, you have ubuntu installed now? | 07:10 |
| Br0k3 | «« Y »» but at least in windows i can write when i try to write something in ubuntu the pointer is 5 inches away from where my stylus is actually at | 07:10 |
| Br0k3 | no i uninstalled because i needed to use tablet | 07:10 |
| dpreacher | bazhang thanks once again :) | 07:11 |
| Br0k3 | but i can go back to ubuntu if someone can help me calibrate it | 07:11 |
| blackluster | join me | 07:11 |
| bazhang | Br0k3, then you dont have ubuntu installed? this is a support channel for actual installations | 07:12 |

| whattheben | bazhang: did what you said http://paste.ubuntu.com/14019/ | 07:12 |
| Br0k3 | bazhang, the reason i dont have it installed is because i couldnt get help last time i had it.. | 07:12 |
| === wabiD is now known as Wabid | ||
| Y | bazhang: He can't use the tablet when the OS is installed. That's the problem. He needs to have the help before he can install the OS. ;) | 07:13 |
| bazhang | Br0k3, nonetheless, talking about windows and here and not having ubuntu are offtopic | 07:13 |
| bazhang | whattheben, looking now | 07:13 |
| Eric | bazhang, He isn't asking for Windows help. | 07:13 |
| === Wabid is now known as wabiD | ||
| Br0k3 | «« Y »» yea that's the post that i was looking at, thats were i got the help to install the drivers for wireless and i got the xorg | 07:14 |

| Kaell | hello, i am trying to find the cpu utilization of my computer... it appears that it thinks it has 4 cores (2hyperthreading i think), but dmesg only sees 1, and all other proc mons see 1 | 07:14 |
| bazhang | whattheben, your sources.list has only the cd listed as a software source--that is what you need to fix | 07:14 |

| whattheben | bazhang: yep | 07:16 |
| whattheben | bazhang: on it now | 07:17 |
| zcat[1] | Kalamansi: and then find the line that lists what the autoconfig thing thought your monitor can handle and remove the resolutions it can't do. | 07:17 |
| bazhang | whattheben, okay, go into software sources and fix that list, enabling the repositories and disabling the cd as a software source | 07:17 |

| === iro is now known as ranranru | ||
| Br0k3 | «« Y »» thanks anyways | 07:19 |
| bazhang | xobni, should be 16 not 14 | 07:19 |

| Kaell | pentium 4? | 07:19 |
| Br0k3 | seems i cant find anyone here that actually has a tx2000z | 07:19 |
| xobni | xobni, how do I make it 16? | 07:19 |
| xobni | lol I mean bazhang ^^ | 07:19 |
| Kaell | doh! nevermind :\ | 07:19 |
| bazhang | haha | 07:19 |
| Eric | Kaell, Some have hyperthreading, so it would make sense for two to be seen. Did you say it was showing 4 somewhere? | 07:20 |
| Flynsarmy | Why does zip -d allsites *.log not work? It returns 'zip warning: name not matched'. All the .log files are in subdirectories in teh zip file | 07:20 |
| Kaell | i had done a cat /proc/cpuinfo while sshed into my office comp, and thought it was a local shell to this lab comp | 07:20 |
| pen | lol | 07:20 |

| Flynsarmy | zip -d allsites \*.log also does not work | 07:20 |
| Kaell | this one has 1 core, my office comp has 4 | 07:20 |
| xobni | pen - what is the core 2 duo? | 07:20 |
| Kaell | thanks all :) | 07:20 |
| bazhang | xobni, the latest updates should take care of that (latest being about a month ago) | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | Flynsarmy: because the * isn't passed on to zip, it's expanded in the shell | 07:20 |
| Eric | Lol... | 07:20 |
| xobni | bazhang, i have the latest updates though | 07:20 |
| ghindo | I'm having trouble with the repos and am getting this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14021/ | 07:20 |

| Flynsarmy | SwedeMike: It is passed hwen i stick the \ infront of it. Sitll get the same error | 07:21 |
| xobni | bazhang, I just think they aren't being used right | 07:21 |
| Kaell | ;) | 07:21 |
| bazhang | xobni, perhaps you chose that in grub menu | 07:21 |
| pen | xobni, cpu | 07:21 |
| ThreeFinity | Anybody know what would cause my sound to randomly stop working and only loop like .5 second of a song and then stop working all together? using 8.04 with hda-intel ALC883 on alsa 1.0.1.16. | 07:21 |
| SwedeMike | Flynsarmy: my experience is that those kinds of wildcards aren't usually passed on to unix commands, it's not the unix way | 07:21 |
| Banditul | ghindo: use default | 07:21 |
| xobni | bazhang, I think maybe my grub menu got messed up, it only has 14, and when I tried changing the numbers to 16 it said file not found | 07:21 |
| Y | Br0k3: From a wholely off-topic and probably unwelcomed point-of-view. HP manufactures trash. I have had three of their desktops and two of their laptops and all died quick, miserable deaths. HP provided hardly any help in all of the situations. So, just so you've been warned... Best of luck to you. (Yes, bazhang, this is off-topic. Feel free to fire up your !ot gun) | 07:21 |
| Flynsarmy | SwedeMike: Is there a wya to delete all .log files from a zip without extracting it? | 07:21 |

| SwedeMike | zip -d foo foo/tom/junk foo/harry/\* \*.o | 07:22 |

| FloodBot1 | SwedeMike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:22 |
| SwedeMike | with .o (in any path). Note that shell pathname expansion has been inhibited with backslashes, so that zip can | 07:22 |
| SwedeMike | see the asterisks, enabling zip to match on the contents of the zip archive instead of the contents of the current | 07:22 |
| Kaell | please dont do that SwedeMike | 07:23 |
| bazhang | xobni, best to drop into the livecd boot then update grub | 07:23 |
| xobni | bazhang, synaptic says I have linux-image-2.6.24-17 even, that's even newer | 07:23 |
| SwedeMike | Kaell: check. | 07:23 |

| CroX | Somehow I have enabled some damn magnifier/zoom function.. How can I turn it off? | 07:25 |
| Banditul | ghindo: because you have bad link : Hit http://mirrors.easynews.com hardy Release.gpg | 07:25 |

| bazhang | xobni, update and reinstall | 07:25 |
| Banditul | u miss a / | 07:25 |

| zcat[1] | CroX: windows-key scrollwheel ? | 07:26 |
| Br0k3 | ok np | 07:26 |
| ghindo | Banditul: It's giving me the same error even with the main server: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14023/ | 07:26 |
| CroX | zcat[1]: Wow, what a relief! Now.. How can I disable that from ever happening again? | 07:26 |

| Ganandorf | hi guys whats the best torrent client for linux and the best audio and video player in one for linux | 07:27 |
| xobni | bazhang, wait, is this what I want, because I don't have it yet: linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic | 07:27 |
| Tech-Mike | anybody able to help with samba? | 07:27 |
| Banditul | ghindo: go to System/Administration/Software sources | 07:27 |
| bazhang | xobni, aye | 07:27 |
| pen | dpreacher, I did, but it's kinda slow than athlon64. I don't understand why. | 07:27 |
| zcat[1] | CroX: why would you want to? It's really handy... (install compizconfig-manager and turn off the zoom feature) | 07:27 |
| geremy | br0k3: do me a favor and see what shows up on an lsusb | 07:27 |
| dpreacher | are the swift versions suggestable to newbie users? | 07:27 |
| CroX | Ganandorf: Deluge, Exaile and VLC - my prefs | 07:27 |
| Banditul | and on download from ...just use Main Server | 07:27 |
| pen | dpreacher, so i"m curious whether the list is wrong or noty | 07:27 |
| CroX | zcat[1]: Thanks. | 07:27 |
| zcat[1] | CroX: sorry, compizconfig-settings-manager.. | 07:27 |
| dpreacher | pen then why not athlon64 version? :) | 07:27 |
| pen | dpreacher, so I think maybe someone here knows | 07:27 |
| bazhang | dpreacher, we are all new when it comes to that | 07:27 |
| absnt | I want to reinstall Ubuntu but I want to save some settings and files, I have a second HD to put them on but I don't know which files to back up. I want to save my shell colors and settings | 07:28 |
| pen | dpreacher, I'm just afraid...lol | 07:28 |
| Ganandorf | iwhich is which Banditul | 07:28 |
| Br0k3 | «« asa »» well i followed one of the tutorials in the forums | 07:28 |
| dpreacher | pen must have tried swiftweasel | 07:28 |
| dpreacher | i had tried swiftfox before on amd64 | 07:28 |
| asa | using xdd on each of the devices in /dev/input which wiggling your wacom and you will have the right one eventually. the problem stems from using the /dev/input/mice instead of the correct /dev/input/eventX | 07:28 |
| dpreacher | no issues | 07:28 |
| Kalamansi | zcat[1] : which one to edit here mate? | 07:28 |
| pen | dpreacher, what's the difference? | 07:28 |
| dpreacher | including having flash workin on it | 07:28 |
| ghindo | Banditul: Yes, I've already done that. | 07:28 |
| dpreacher | iceweasel and firefox | 07:28 |
| Kalamansi | zcat[1] : which one to edit here mate? i am now in sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:28 |
| dpreacher | you know the difference | 07:28 |
| xobni | bazhang, it's weird, I have all the linux generic packages, 20-15, 20-16, 22-14, and 24-17, but for some reason 24-16 is not installed. | 07:29 |
| dpreacher | i dont have core 2 duo | 07:29 |
| pen | dpreacher, iceweasel, swiftfox and swiftweasel | 07:29 |
| pen | dpreacher, which ons have you tried? | 07:29 |
| asa | Br0k3: do you have a link to the tut? you might check the linux wacom driver project page. | 07:29 |
| dpreacher | i tried swiftfox | 07:29 |
| Banditul | paste again your sources.list | 07:29 |
| whattheben | bazhang, tried that, still waiting...this is what i got so far http://paste.ubuntu.com/14025/ | 07:29 |
| pen | dpreacher, is it good? | 07:29 |
| Banditul | ghindo: | 07:29 |

| Br0k3 | «« asa »» http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=708726 | 07:29 |
| asa | Br0k3: another way I got wacom working was by getting my mapping settings from a windows or mac instal, which gives you the correct numbers to punch in. | 07:30 |
| dpreacher | i wasn't holdin a speedometer in front of it | 07:30 |
| dpreacher | :p | 07:30 |
| Kalamansi | hello after installing ubuntu i get this http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/2852/ubuntudesktopxm3.jpg ... how to adjust my desktop? thanks..this is my 2nd time of installing ubuntu desktop 8.04..first install same thing.2nd install, same thing desktop.. | 07:30 |
| pen | dpreacher, at least you can feel it right? | 07:30 |
| pen | dpreacher, what do you think? | 07:30 |
| bazhang | whattheben, did you fix your sources.list? | 07:30 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: that either looks like your sync rate is way off, or there is a problem with your drivers. | 07:30 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: what video card do youhave ? | 07:30 |
| bazhang | whattheben, what is the port :80 doing in that archive? | 07:31 |
| zcat[1] | Kalamansi: there should be a line that lists a bunch of available resolutions, quite far down towards the bottom.. mine's been edited by nvidia-settings and is now using metamodes. :( | 07:31 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : its a built-in video card | 07:31 |
| xobni | bazhang, so I want to get linux image, linux modules, and linux backports modules, right? | 07:31 |
| dpreacher | i love performance over looks but sometimes its just like placebo...your mind just thinks things work real fast. i didn't do the keep-on-for-3hours-and-see-if-its-memory-hog test | 07:31 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: yes, but what make/model | 07:31 |
| godfreyhk | is there any ways (hacks) to allow a non-root (non-sudoer) user to change the parameters of an network interface? | 07:31 |
| whattheben | bazhang, i have no idea | 07:31 |
| bazhang | xobni, that last one is up to you entirely | 07:31 |
| ikonia | godfreyhk: no | 07:31 |
| xobni | bazhang, what is it for? | 07:31 |
| zcat[1] | !resolution | Kalamansi this might help too | 07:31 |
| ubottu | Kalamansi this might help too: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 07:31 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : is there a comand to type so i could see the model?thanks | 07:31 |
| pen | dpreacher, I'm not talking about memories, because swiftweasel is a memory hog but it's relativevly fsat | 07:31 |
| godfreyhk | ikonia: so thereś absolutly no way that a non-root user could run software like tcpdump? | 07:32 |
| bazhang | stuff that is not officially supported xobni | 07:32 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: lspci will give you a hint, or you can get it when the PC powers on - it should flash | 07:32 |
| pen | dpreacher, so you mean it's faster? | 07:32 |
| meglaw | another thing, in debian "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg promts me with lotts of hw-data the reconfigure has autodetected, like gfxcard. how do i do this in ubuntu? | 07:32 |
| dpreacher | swiftfox was quick enough too.. the thing is i'd used default firefox very less | 07:32 |
| ikonia | godfreyhk: tcpdump yes, that's not changing the parameters of a network card | 07:32 |
| dpreacher | yes its swift | 07:32 |
| dpreacher | :) | 07:32 |
| pen | dpreacher, ok, maybe I will try it | 07:32 |
| xobni | bazhang, I see. Would nvidia drivers be in there? because I think I need those | 07:32 |
| Rat409 | /cl5~/cl | 07:32 |
| ikonia | meglaw: xorg config is dynamic in ubuntu | 07:32 |
| Kalamansi | zcat[1] : same thing happen mate | 07:32 |
| godfreyhk | ikonia: but it wont allow.. cause it said could not found suitable interface when I ran it non root | 07:32 |
| meglaw | ikonia: what does that mean and how does it help me? ;) | 07:33 |
| Miroku | Good night boys and girls and edman007 | 07:33 |
| bazhang | whattheben, you may need to hand edit the sources.list if using software sources did not do it-->alternately switch mirrors from au to another and try again | 07:33 |
| godfreyhk | I assumed it needs to switch the interface to capture mode or sth, maybe I am wrong | 07:33 |
| ikonia | meglaw: try this, this is a document I'm writing, it's not complete but should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy | 07:33 |
| simplyubuntu | so what do you guys think of this? http://bayimg.com/OajHfaaBL any improvements? | 07:33 |
| zcat[1] | Kalamansi: you have to change resolution in xorg.conf (follow the link) then restart gdm to make it take effect.. just restarting gdm won't make any difference | 07:33 |
| meglaw | ikonia: ok | 07:34 |
| ikonia | godfreyhk: what command are you using | 07:34 |
| bazhang | xobni, the drivers, dont believe so no | 07:34 |
| ikonia | meglaw: it's not complete (be warned) but there is stuff in there you'll find of use | 07:34 |
| whattheben | bazhung, ill try that, thanks heaps | 07:34 |

| Ganandorf | ok cool | 07:38 |
| Caf-Fiend | or even any idea how to fix the aforementioned white cube? | 07:38 |

| xobni | ikonia, the hardware driver thing wouldn't get my nvidia card working right, but I think that's because I was using an old kernel somehow | 07:44 |
| geremy | br0k3: and added the boot parameters? | 07:44 |
| Br0k3 | i didnt do that | 07:44 |
| ikonia | mgs88: look at your /etc/apt/sources.list - it thinks you have a local repo | 07:44 |
| ikonia | xobni: it does make mistakes, - hence why I'm writing that doc | 07:44 |
| xobni | ikonia, I have a question for you though | 07:44 |
| gothicd3vil | hi, i'm having problems with ubuntu it doesn't recognize the wireless card | 07:45 |

| Kalamansi | ikonia : wizard "ubuntu is running in a low-graphics mode | 07:45 |
| mgs88 | How can I fix it | 07:45 |
| xobni | ikonia, when it gets it wrong, and warns you you're in low graphics mode, and gives you the chance to configure -- even if I get the settings right, and the test works, how come when I click "OK" i'm still using vesa in low graphics mode? | 07:45 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: yes, thats fine - how does the screen compare to what you had before in terms of lines | 07:46 |
| geremy | brok3: there are several reports of success after editing the boot params, from people who seem to have had much the same problem you're having. do you need a walkthrough on that or is that page sufficient? | 07:46 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| Flannel | mgs88: You have a proxy defined. Software Sources > ... something proxy-ish. | 07:46 |
| ikonia | xobni: because the detection over-rode it or changes where not submitted to the xorg.conf file as they should have been | 07:46 |
| xobni | ikonia, sounds like a problem | 07:46 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : ok ill give you a screenshot. | 07:46 |

| ubottu | dpreacher: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:47 |

| Flannel | dpreacher: You can either install it during the install from the server CD, or follow instructions on that page. Its pretty straight forward to install | 07:48 |

| dpreacher | Flannel thanks for the link. i don't have server CD | 07:49 |
| xobni | Flannel, I added a "halt" entry, a windows entry, and an entry for a second ubuntu install I was using for testing | 07:49 |
| xobni | Flannel, I can pastebin it for you | 07:50 |

| xobni | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14006/ | 07:51 |
| Flannel | xobni: Add them, you can verify that they'll stick around by doing a "sudo update-grub", and then view the file again. What did you do to tell grub not to update itself? | 07:51 |
| xobni | Flannel, I don't know, but my computer got pretty messed up | 07:51 |
| wangwenjie | chinese or english? | 07:52 |
| Flannel | xobni: To remove the older kernels, remove their packages via package management. Your XP and halt options will stick around | 07:52 |
| xobni | Flannel, it was using -14 instead of -16 and wasn't getting the display drivers right, | 07:52 |
| geremy | br0k3: you there? | 07:52 |
| xobni | Flannel, should I remove everything prior to 2.6.24-16? | 07:52 |
| Br0k3 | yes | 07:52 |
| Caf-Fiend | anyone got a link to fixing whitescreen using nvidia drivers? my googlefu is weak it seems | 07:53 |
| Flannel | xobni: Usually its a good idea to keep a current, plus one older (that you haven't had any problems with), just in case you find some showstopper with the current one | 07:53 |
| xobni | Flannel, ok. I've seen a -17 in synaptic too -- is that a mistake? | 07:53 |
| geremy | br0k3: alrighty. you see the boot options I'm talking about? | 07:53 |
| Br0k3 | um no | 07:54 |

| Kalamansi | ikonia : kinda dark desktop...can i adjust it right? | 07:55 |
| Flannel | dpreacher: `dpkg -l | grep packagename` is one way. apt-cache policy [package] is another, the list goes on | 07:55 |
| geremy | br0k3: bottom of the third page, it lists the ones they used | 07:56 |
| xobni | Flannel, it says I have "linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic" installed, version 2.6.24-17.31 | 07:56 |

| phixxor | dpreacher, usually yes. did you check appdb? | 08:05 |
| ikonia | Geek: install the nfs packages - set up the exports file and volia - your ready to go | 08:05 |

| Hallertauer | hmm..that's what I thought. I'm getting an error with my compiler: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 08:10 |
| Sarah | Flannel, its a file deleting program | 08:10 |
| Flannel | Hallertauer: install the build-essential package | 08:10 |

| Hallertauer | I'll try build-essential | 08:11 |
| ikonia | chmac: sed can edit | 08:11 |
| Flannel | Hallertauer: crossfire is in the repositories, you probably don't need to compile | 08:11 |

| Flannel | Hallertauer: fair enough. Yeah, build-essential is what you'll need | 08:12 |
| Sarah | im trying to format this whole disk though and bcwipe wipes the file slacks and free space and everything | 08:12 |
| Sarah | because i want to throw this hard drive out | 08:12 |
| Caf-Fiend | magnetron: ok - I have a 6600GT, and I want to get it working. The current version of the restricted drivers available don't support it to my knowledge.

| chmac | ikonia: How would I do it with sed? | 08:12 |
| ikonia | Sarah: why do you need to do that ? | 08:12 |

| magnetron | Caf-Fiend: first of all, the restricted drivers are the same as the one from the Nvidia homepage. if you install them manually, you will have to go through a bunch of problems, like the one you are experiencing now. you should have used the restricted driver in ubuntu. | 08:15 |

| Sarah | Flannel, they have a linux version thats the one im trying to install | 08:15 |
| Caf-Fiend | magnetron: i was using that, but like i said, the current driver doesn't support my card, so i (thought i) had to get the beta drivers from nvidia | 08:16 |
| flotishtu | magnetron fileroller is an app? | 08:16 |
| Ububegin | otg_: 滚开 | 08:16 |
| Flannel | Sarah: I take the stuff back about it being windows only. But still, unless you need the pattern writing, shred will work fine. | 08:16 |

| Sarah | Flannel, oh ok thanks | 08:16 |
| magnetron | Caf-Fiend: i've used the restricted driver for my geforce 3 with great success. why do you think that your 6600GT isn't supported? | 08:17 |
| phixxor | Flannel: ok, then when I try to remove -17 why does it make me remove all the linux metapackages? | 08:17 |
| Flannel | Sarah: If you do need the patterns, sudo apt-get install wipe, and then use wipe instead of shred, I believe it does patterns | 08:17 |
| omposter | dpkg -i wine-9.58-etcetera fails with 'Package libldap2 not installed' | 08:17 |
| omposter | what gives? | 08:17 |
| ikonia | magnetron: out of interest did you use glx - or glx legacy for that card ? | 08:17 |
| Sarah | oh ok cool thanks Flannel | 08:17 |
| ikonia | omposter: the package libldap2 is not installed | 08:17 |
| magnetron | ikonia: glx | 08:17 |
| ikonia | omposter: thats exactly what gives | 08:17 |
| ikonia | magnetron: ta | 08:17 |
| Flannel | phixxor: because that -17 version is from -proposed, which is where the metapackage is from. After doing that, reinstall the metapackage, and you'll have the older version of it (not from proposed) | 08:18 |
| phixxor | Flannel, alright, great, doing that. I think I'll replace my menu.lst as well as that's happening, seeing how update-grub isn't working | 08:18 |

| HymnToLife | hm | 08:35 |
| Flannel | icanic: The root account is locked, it doesn't work. Use sudo instead. | 08:35 |
| doktoreas | sorry for OT, but anyone can suggest a framework OS for doing e-commerce? | 08:35 |
| HymnToLife | does it come with a configure script? | 08:35 |
| icanic | don't wanna accept it | 08:35 |
| meglaw | nice sudo topic. :) | 08:35 |
| ompaul | !root | icanic | 08:35 |
| ubottu | icanic: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 08:35 |
| HymnToLife | usually those are used to spot missing dependencies before using make | 08:35 |
| magnetron | doktoreas: maybe ubuntu server edition? | 08:35 |
| Sarah | Rat409, i get a few things saying sha1.c: In function ‘SHA1Update’: - warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘memcpy' | 08:35 |
| phixxor | SUCCESS!! direct rendering: yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 08:35 |
| ikonia | Sarah: are you still trying to compile that disk wiping tool | 08:36 |
| HymnToLife | Sarah: try installing build-essential | 08:36 |
| Sarah | ikonia, yeah | 08:36 |
| Sarah | HymnToLife, ok | 08:36 |
| LogiTech | magnetron "transmission" ? :S i dont understand... | 08:36 |
| icanic | sudo '/home/icanic/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run' | 08:36 |
| icanic | [sudo] password for icanic: | 08:36 |
| icanic | Sorry, try again. | 08:36 |
| HymnToLife | you're most likely missing stdlib.h and other headers | 08:36 |
| Br0k3 | does any1 here have a tx2000z tablet? | 08:36 |
| phixxor | ikonia, it works!! the only reason it didn't work before was because I was using the wrong kernel!!!!! | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Sarah: give it up - use the version in the repo, that warning is not going to be straight forward to fix as it looks like that are some conflicts | 08:36 |
| Rat409 | Sarah: well,i can't say then i had no errors,sorry first time i've built it | 08:36 |
| magnetron | Sarah: install the 'shred' package and try it out, you won't have to compile anything to get it working | 08:36 |
| Flannel | icanic: You put in the password that you logged in with. If it doesn't work, it means you typed it wrong | 08:36 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: thats pretty pointless generic advice | 08:36 |
| LogiTech | i am using bittorrent to download files from torrent sites..if u ment that :/ | 08:36 |
| doktoreas | magnetron: I mean the web application | 08:37 |
| magnetron | LogiTech: which bittorrent client are you using | 08:37 |
| icanic | no, I didn't type it wrong | 08:37 |
| HymnToLife | ikonia: I don't remembar asking for your opinion | 08:37 |
| Flannel | magnetron: shred is part of coreutils, no need to install | 08:37 |
| LogiTech | when i installed linux ubuntu 7.10 i got 1....i dont know which 1 is it..some old 1 :D | 08:37 |
| HymnToLife | remember* | 08:37 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: no but it was a pointless suggestion to give someone randomly | 08:37 |
| DJones | icanic: is your username the only user on the system? If you're not the first user created, it might be that your user isn't part of the root/sudo admin group? | 08:37 |
| magnetron | Flannel: oops. how do i find out which package a file belongs to? | 08:38 |
| HymnToLife | ikonia: I think you just don't know what you're talking about | 08:38 |
| HymnToLife | oh well, we'll see :) | 08:38 |
| phixxor | bye everyone! I'm so happy everything works now | 08:38 |
| magnetron | phixxor: bai | 08:38 |
| icanic | I'm the only one user on this ubuntu | 08:38 |
| icanic | and the first one | 08:38 |
| Flannel | magnetron: dpkg -S [file] or packages.ubuntu.com | 08:38 |
| KazaLite | hi all....any kernel hacker around? | 08:38 |
| Sarah | thanks HymnToLife, Rat409 etc, make works now that i installed that build-essential, first time i looked for it i wrote 'essentials' with an s so it didnt find anything | 08:38 |
| magnetron | Flannel: what if the file isn't installed? | 08:38 |
| HymnToLife | hehe | 08:38 |
| HymnToLife | poitless, huh? | 08:38 |
| ghindo | Does anyone know how to make Gnash the default Flash player in Firefox 3 b5? | 08:38 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: I stand MASSIVLY corrected | 08:38 |
| magnetron | !ask | KazaLite | 08:38 |
| HymnToLife | pointless* | 08:39 |
| ubottu | KazaLite: 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. :-) | 08:39 |
| Flannel | magnetron: packages.ubuntu.com. You can also use apt-file which should do the same thing, but I haven't used it personally | 08:39 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: why would the build-essential package contain the sha headers/routines ? | 08:39 |
| HymnToLife | ikonia: because that's what it's for ;) | 08:39 |
| DJones | icanic: what error message does it give you when you try putting your users password when you use the sudo commmand? | 08:39 |
| === leche_ is now known as leche | ||
| HymnToLife | build-essential is just a metapackage that contains everything needed to compile basic stuff | 08:39 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: build-essential - sha headers | 08:39 |
| Sarah | this hdd im wiping has my way old mandrake 7.2 install on it, from years ago, that was the first linux distro i ever used, then i tried debian then just used windows for ages now im in ubuntu | 08:39 |
| magnetron | ghindo: uninstall the adobe flash player. it's called "flashplayer-nonfree" in synaptic | 08:39 |
| HymnToLife | so that's make, gcc, all the standard headers, etc. | 08:39 |
| Ganandorf | hey guys whats the fastest torrent client by that i mean the most efficient one that allows you to connect to many peers and make full use of your available speed | 08:40 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: I know what it is/what is's for, but the sha headers....seems odd | 08:40 |
| HymnToLife | ikonia: it was not the sha1 header | 08:40 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: exactly "standard" | 08:40 |
| flotishtu | http://pastebin.com/m79f1d17b help ? | 08:40 |
| KazaLite | i've googled for system call number 285 but could not find any. I'm looking at some code and it does not make any sense to me, may be because of my little knowledge of linux system programming...have a look at function: http://rafb.net/p/ak7BmW96.html | 08:40 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: rats, it's scrolled off screen | 08:40 |
| icanic | sudo '/home/icanic/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run' | 08:40 |
| icanic | [sudo] password for icanic: | 08:40 |
| icanic | Sorry, try again. | 08:40 |
| HymnToLife | look at the error, it complained about memcpy not being declared | 08:40 |
| magnetron | Ganandorf: Transmission and Deluge are great clients | 08:40 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: I can't it's scrolled, pastebin it ? | 08:40 |
| HymnToLife | and memcpy is a standard function, fond in stdlib.h | 08:40 |
| HymnToLife | [09:35] < Sarah> Rat409, i get a few things saying sha1.c: In function 'SHA1Update': - warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memcpy' | 08:40 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: I thought it said sha | 08:40 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool which is top of the list for you magnetron | 08:41 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: ahh sha1.c - not header | 08:41 |
| ikonia | fine | 08:41 |
| ikonia | HymnToLife: my mistake | 08:41 |
| Ganandorf | between those two | 08:41 |
| icanic | can't even open my users and group | 08:41 |
| KazaLite | is there some system call number 285 in kernel? | 08:41 |
| magnetron | Ganandorf: i'm fine with Transmission for the moment, but if i need more options i'll switch to deluge | 08:41 |
| DJones | icanic: that looks like the error you get when the password is entered wrongly, you've not got the caps lock on or anything like that have you | 08:41 |
| Ganandorf | o ok cool | 08:41 |
| magnetron | Ganandorf: install deluge with applications > add / remove | 08:42 |
| Ganandorf | why not synaptic | 08:42 |
| icanic | the password is good | 08:42 |
| magnetron | Ganandorf: or, synaptic, whatever you like. transmission is a part of the default ubuntu install since hardy | 08:42 |
| icanic | cause I loged in 30 min ago | 08:42 |
| icanic | with the same pass | 08:42 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool | 08:43 |
| jms1989 | Why does ff crash every time I change my ubuntu theme? I just changed my folder icons to my favorite blue color and it crashed. | 08:43 |
| Rat409 | Sarah: dban= Dariks Boot n Nuke or you can do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda or whatever or just use wipe,shred from repos.wayyy past my bedtime,but if you use dd make sure you use it properly it can wipe you whole system if not | 08:43 |
| ghindo | magnetron: I did that and installed gnash but youtube videos still prompt me to install adobe flash | 08:43 |
| Caf-Fiend | magnetron: ok apparently (according to a guy on #nvidia) my problem is just to do with compiz - is there a way to stop it loading on startup then load it later after login? | 08:43 |
| Captain_Haddock | hi | 08:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | how do i find the UUID of a partition? | 08:44 |
| Flannel | Captain_Haddock: blkid | 08:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | thanks | 08:44 |
| magnetron | ghindo: you are missing the browser plugin for gnash. go to a web page with flash (except youtube, it's a silly bug) and it will allow you to install gnash | 08:44 |
| ghindo | magnetron: I did that and installed gnash but youtube videos still prompt me to install adobe flash | 08:44 |
| magnetron | !repeat | ghindo | 08:44 |
| ubottu | ghindo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 08:44 |
| jms1989 | !patience | 08:47 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:47 |
| DJones | icanic: I'm out of idea's, i can't think of what else to suggest, can only suggest to see if anybody else can help | 08:47 |
| ghindo | magnetron: Thank you! | 08:48 |
| cypha | can i speak with someone about linux theory please? | 08:48 |
| mgs88 | flannel: no thing is there proxy setting | 08:49 |
| cypha | i'm identified | 08:49 |
| arek_hiphop | woi | 08:49 |
| cypha | does anyone program in linux? | 08:49 |
| Flannel | cypha: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the proper place for it. | 08:49 |
| cypha | really | 08:49 |
| cypha | wow | 08:49 |
| Flannel | mgs88: alright, try this: grep 4001 -r /etc/ | 08:50 |
| Captain_Haddock | Flannel: do you by any chance know of an issue where an upgrade to hardy messes up all partition assignments. My PATA drive is being detected as /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda | 08:50 |
| HymnToLife | Captain_Haddock: this is normal | 08:50 |
| Captain_Haddock | (thereby messing up other partitions which did not have UUID assignments) | 08:50 |
| Flannel | Captain_Haddock: that's not "messed up" thats normal. All HDDs have been mapped to SATA stuff now | 08:51 |
| HymnToLife | it's because the PATA & SATA drivers were unified in the kernel | 08:51 |
| HymnToLife | it's not Ubuntu-specific | 08:51 |
| Captain_Haddock | I see | 08:51 |
| FergoFrog | I need help I have an Ubuntu 7.04 Server setup and I just got a new screen for it and I'm wondering if I can increase the resolution. I've tried changing the kernal bootup resolution but the codes I got from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484 didn't work | 08:51 |

| termagant | Hey, can anybody tell me how to disable XGL and/or compiz fusion? I installed them, but I'm running a laptop and it's really slowing down my computer. I tried metacity --replace, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. | 09:01 |
| Symmetria | hrm, Im trying to transfer some files between two mounted file systems, and when I do a tar -C /old-directory -cvf - blah/ | tar -C /new-directory -xf - it transfers all the files, but they are all suddenly owned by root and have like 700 perms, I thought tar was meant to keep uid/gid/permissions | 09:01 |
| termagant | I think what I need to uninstall is XGL because it is in the system processes, but compiz isn't. | 09:02 |
| termagant | Can I just kill it, or is that a bad idea? | 09:02 |
| FergoFrog | DistroJockey: just does what it usually does. Which is: You passed an undefined mode number and gives a list of 6 resolutions | 09:03 |
| DistroJockey | FergoFrog: hmm | 09:03 |
| Ganandorf | bazhang: the ppl still appear blue | 09:03 |

| MrKeuner | hardy | 09:06 |
| termagant | bazhang, is there a way to undo that, though? | 09:07 |
| Ganandorf | i have a nvidia 8400 i installed compiz via synaptic | 09:07 |

| bazhang | Ganandorf, installed vid driver how | 09:07 |
| termagant | Flannel: I tried that, but XGL is still running and making it really slow. | 09:07 |
| FergoFrog | DistroJockey: That doesn't change the res it sets it to normal | 09:07 |
| DistroJockey | FergoFrog: ahh. How about vga=0x0318 | 09:08 |

| Ganandorf | i think i used synaptic | 09:10 |
| Ganandorf | no i didn't it appeared after i updated | 09:10 |
| bazhang | Ganandorf, that is not very specific info to troubleshoot on though | 09:10 |
| cypha | is there a system menu to see what processes are running? | 09:10 |
| cypha | or terminal command | 09:11 |
| Ganandorf | because i was using some restricted driver before thats what linux told me and when i updated i saw that in add or remove | 09:11 |

| Sturmeh | bazhang he gave paste link http://paste.ubuntu.com/14049/ | 09:25 |
| DistroJockey | FergoFrog: 318 is probably too high for the vesa driver | 09:25 |
| MatBoy | does someone know if i need a special package installed to use 'e and so on / | 09:26 |
| Sturmeh | 'e? | 09:26 |

| FergoFrog | DistroJockey: Ohhokay any way to fix? | 09:26 |
| MatBoy | Sturmeh, yes, you make a e with a / above it | 09:26 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, check hardware drivers in system-->admin-->hardware drivers | 09:26 |
| Ganondorf | Sturmeh: where do i get a list of all those commands to use in terminals and what they do | 09:26 |

| Ganondorf | thanks guys Sturmeh and rickyfingers | 09:27 |
| cypha | how do u run system monitor through the terminal? | 09:27 |
| cypha | the pretty one in the system's menu | 09:28 |
| rickyfingers | cypha - try top | 09:28 |
| cypha | that one doesn't look as nice | 09:28 |
| cypha | i'm saying, to have running on start | 09:28 |
| Ganondorf | bazhang: it says proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer work | 09:28 |
| BWGames | hi, any idea how to get my gnome taskbar/menu back, they don't load on login... | 09:28 |
| mudd`Hossam | my ubuntu non-free plugin keeps showing greyed out boxes what can i do to fix this? | 09:28 |
| cypha | can i run something on start and put it in a different workspace? | 09:28 |
| mudd`Hossam | amd64 installation btw | 09:28 |
| cypha | where is that information kept? | 09:29 |
| FergoFrog | DistroJockey: 640x480 doesn't work | 09:29 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, what format file you watching and do you have all the codecs installed including medibuntu ones | 09:29 |
| cypha | bazhang, any ideas? | 09:29 |
| FergoFrog | DistroJockey: thanks for trying to help it's okey | 09:29 |
| zarlino | hi all, today i update the the packages from hardy-updates and i cannot connect to my local apache on localhost | 09:29 |
| zarlino | any ideas? | 09:29 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: first of all, do a ps -ef | grep apache and make sure it's still running. | 09:30 |
| cypha | also, can i make my scrolling slower or faster when i hold ctrll or alt or something? | 09:30 |
| Ganondorf | bazhang: its mpeg video not sure whether i have all the codecs and that one first time i am seeing it | 09:30 |
| cypha | so that it scroll more lines in that instance? | 09:30 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: yes it is | 09:30 |
| cypha | alright, someone highlight me | 09:30 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, all videos or only that one | 09:31 |
| rickyfingers | now try telnet localhost 80 see if it fails or not. | 09:31 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: it hangs | 09:31 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: just like any other client i tried | 09:31 |
| Ganondorf | all | 09:31 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: curl, firefox etc | 09:31 |
| rickyfingers | hit enter a few times, do you get some html, or what? | 09:31 |
| mgs88 | when I try to update give me this Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) | 09:31 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: nothing | 09:32 |
| Symmetria | heh how big a file system can you make with xfs? | 09:32 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: i can connect from other machines | 09:32 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: but not from local | 09:32 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, you need ubuntu-restricted-extras, and win32codecs (the last from medibuntu.org); though I still suspect it is a driver prob for your video card | 09:33 |
| Ganondorf | so if its a driver prob how do i fix that | 09:33 |
| rickyfingers | interesting. I have no idea how to fix it. what if you use local machine's ip address instead of localhost? | 09:33 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, when did this start (blue videos) | 09:34 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: one thing to check, what about /etc/hosts? | 09:34 |
| rickyfingers | is localhost defined in /etc/hosts? | 09:34 |
| === leche_ is now known as leche | ||
| Ganondorf | first time i played a video actually | 09:34 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: it hangs even with my ip | 09:34 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: etc hosts has: 127.0.0.1 localhost odisseo | 09:35 |
| williot-jade_ | hello | 09:35 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, is your system using nv or nvidia drivers | 09:35 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: and then the ipv6 stuff | 09:35 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: odisseo is the name of the machine | 09:35 |
| Ganondorf | nvidia drivers | 09:35 |
| mgs88 | When I try to update give me this Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1)>3th message | 09:35 |
| Ganondorf | thats what it says in system admin driver | 09:35 |
| bazhang | which video Ganondorf let me try | 09:35 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: since you can connect from other machines, but not local host, it is most definitely a configuration problem on the local machine. | 09:36 |
| Ganondorf | it says proprietary drivers are being used | 09:36 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: here's a stupid question: can you ping localhost? | 09:36 |
| Ganondorf | installin ubuntu extras | 09:37 |
| bazhang | which mpeg video Ganondorf let me try | 09:37 |
| cypha | if my processes aren't taking up processing power, what's the system resources? | 09:37 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: no! | 09:37 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: ping hangs | 09:37 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: you've got some kind of tcp/ip config problem on this one machine. Are you running a firewall on the local machine, like firestarter or anything? | 09:38 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: no firewall | 09:38 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: i'm connected via ethernet to a hub | 09:38 |
| rickyfingers | ok, what happens when you type "route" at the command prompt? | 09:38 |
| rickyfingers | oh, and also, what happens when you do a ps -ef | grep dhcp ? | 09:39 |
| mgs88 | When I try to update give me this Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1) pleas any 1 just say something | 09:39 |

| pigsflyme | hello, has anyone tried using public and private key authentication on 8.04? | 09:41 |
| bazhang | gpg pigsflyme ? | 09:41 |
| pigsflyme | for some reason i am not able to get mine to work even though test login works | 09:42 |
| eisenhower | question. when i do "make ; sudo make install " Is this the directoryt he program is in ? and do i need to move it or build it else where to make my organization cleaner? | 09:42 |
| pigsflyme | bazhang: nope.. just rsa pub and private for ssh | 09:42 |
| pigsflyme | eisenhower: it depends on ur configure command | 09:42 |
| Ganondorf | bazhang: trying to send it | 09:43 |
| Ganondorf | well i did | 09:43 |
| eisenhower | pigsflyme: can you give me a example? | 09:43 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, dont | 09:43 |
| Ganondorf | ok | 09:43 |
| pigsflyme | eisenhower: usually when u do a ./configure --prefix="/usr/local/someapp/" | 09:43 |
| pigsflyme | when u perform a make install | 09:43 |
| pigsflyme | it will be installed to that directory | 09:43 |
| Ganondorf | so what do i do now | 09:43 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: ok, here's something to try: give the server a static ip reboot, and afterward, make sure there are no dhcp processes. | 09:44 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, what about popping a dvd (physical dvd) and playing that-->also blue screen? | 09:44 |
| eisenhower | oh! snap! . is that where you install all your apps? yet another thing i'm confused to .. b/c apps seem to be scattered | 09:44 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: it's not a serve, it is my laptop and i'm using connection manager | 09:44 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: NetworkManager sorry | 09:45 |
| rickyfingers | zarlino: just saying, I've seen NetworkManager screw things up big time. Sometimes things work better when I do things the old school way, and bypass it. | 09:46 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: ok, i'll try, going to disconnect | 09:46 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: thank you! | 09:46 |
| zarlino | rickyfingers: your support is great! | 09:47 |
| rickyfingers | *any ubuntu developers listening now?* wpa dies once a week or so why? | 09:47 |
| Ganondorf | its not the screen thats blue the ppl skin appear blue | 09:47 |
| Ganondorf | and when i put in a dvd | 09:47 |
| Ganondorf | no sound | 09:47 |
| rickyfingers | wrt54g + ubuntu wpa 2 personal + one week = no signal. Why? | 09:48 |
| Gui13 | hey guys | 09:48 |
| Ganondorf | beyonce is all blue at the moment | 09:48 |
| Ganondorf | not the screen | 09:48 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, what about youtube videos | 09:48 |
| Gui13 | gnome-session-preferences won't save my modifications, do you have an idea why? | 09:48 |
| pete_ | afternoon all | 09:49 |
| administrateur | oh | 09:49 |
| pete_ | anyone else had issues with hardy not playing sound from other sources when you pause rythmbox? mocp will still play but no firefox sound | 09:49 |
| administrateur | oh | 09:49 |
| administrateur | oh | 09:49 |
| administrateur | oh | 09:49 |
| administrateur | oh | 09:49 |
| Ganondorf | the colour is normal | 09:49 |
| FloodBot1 | administrateur: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:49 |
| Ganondorf | nothing wrong there | 09:49 |
| baheer_ | how can i update skype through comand line | 09:50 |
| FloodBot1 | administrateur: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:50 |
| bazhang | what about color in dvd (forget sound for now) | 09:50 |
| rickyfingers | pete_: they've never had things worked out with alsa and the other sound driver (can't remember name now) hogging the device. | 09:50 |
| pete_ | rickyfingers: aah ok. Ill just sit with mocp for a bit then heh | 09:51 |
| rickyfingers | Just like I can't hear realplayer after watching youtoube (flash) | 09:51 |
| blivori | Hi | 09:51 |
| blivori | How do I format a USB pendrive into ext#? | 09:51 |
| bazhang | blivori, cfdisk | 09:51 |
| blivori | bazhang: ahh theres no gui program? | 09:51 |
| rickyfingers | pete_: I'm sure there's a process I could kill to fix without rebooting, but I've never figured out what that is. | 09:51 |
| bazhang | www.pendrivelinux.com blivori | 09:52 |
| blivori | bazhang I don't want to put a linux distro on it, I want to put files | 09:52 |
| Ganondorf | the colour in the dvd the ppl are still blue | 09:52 |
| Ganondorf | beyonce is all blue | 09:52 |
| Gui13 | an idea for my problem? | 09:52 |
| Gui13 | gnome-session-preferences won't save my modifications, do you have an idea why? | 09:52 |
| bazhang | Ganondorf, sounds like a conflict between compiz and potentially your video drivers; may want to ask in #compiz-fusion | 09:53 |
| bazhang | blivori, gparted then? | 09:53 |
| toresn | how do i add color on keywords in man pages? i use the gnome-terminal | 09:53 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: All you want to do is copy files to a memory stick? | 09:53 |
| toresn | (i don't want to use 'most') | 09:53 |
| Ganondorf | hmmm ok cool | 09:54 |
| vega-- | i'm trying to upgrade from 7.10 (fully updated) to 8.04, but update-manager doesn't give the opportunity (there's no "upgrade to 8.04 button), what's wrong? not even when running update-manager -c | 09:54 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: yes | 09:54 |
| bazhang | vega should be -d right? | 09:54 |
| rickyfingers | vega: back everything up and do a clean install. | 09:54 |
| vega-- | bazhang: no? that's for devel releases | 09:54 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: what does "mount" tell you at the command prompt? | 09:54 |
| blivori | bazhang: for some reasn qparted is not starting up. I'll try GParted | 09:54 |
| vega-- | rickyfingers: ehh, bad advice | 09:54 |
| rickyfingers | Anything about /dev/sda ... | 09:55 |
| bazhang | sudo do-release-upgrade then vega | 09:55 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: the usb pen drive is found. Its just that itsfat and i want to turn it to ext | 09:55 |
| blivori | its fat* | 09:55 |
| vega-- | bazhang: "Checking for new ubuntu release. No new release found" | 09:55 |
| gordonjcp | blivori: so put it on a diet then | 09:55 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: out of my league, you need a utility that will convert fat to ext, I'm not sure if such a beast exists. | 09:56 |
| blivori | gordonjcp: .) | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | blivori: reformat as ext ;-) | 09:56 |
| bazhang | vega--, what I did was changed gutsy to hardy in sources list then update and then dist-upgraded | 09:56 |
| rickyfingers | It might be easier to copy disk to backup, reformat mem stick, and copy files back over. | 09:56 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: so its not possible/recommended to use ext3 on a pendrive for file storage? | 09:56 |
| vega-- | bazhang: yes, but that's not recommended.. i'd like this to work the official way, no kludging | 09:57 |
| Trotamundo | I'm trying to install 8.04 x64 in a box that only has a TV connected. The installer doesn't start up. Tryed text based setup and all went fine, but when I restarted the computer, X doesn't start. I have a NVIDIA 8500 graphics board. | 09:57 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: it's possible, but what I'm saying is I don't know of any utility that will convert fat file system to ext3 file system. | 09:57 |
| bazhang | vega--, it was too late for me; did it that way before I found out about official way | 09:57 |
| vega-- | bazhang: for me it isn't :) | 09:57 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: ok I'll send an email to Microsoft and ask them | 09:57 |
| bazhang | vega true :) read !upgrade | 09:58 |
| blivori | :) | 09:58 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: It's not worth anyone's time to do so anyway, because it's easier to copy all the files to backup, reformat the drive, and copy the files back to the original medium. | 09:58 |
| vega-- | !upgrade | 09:58 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 09:58 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: surely you are joking. Microsoft will never respond. | 09:58 |
| vega-- | read that, been there | 09:58 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: and I do that by using GParted? | 09:58 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: well they want to increase open source .). Did you read tat article when they send an email to the blender devs asking them about file formats? | 09:59 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: let me make it clear that you should start by making a copy of every file on the memory stick in the first place. | 09:59 |
| bazhang | blivori back up first | 09:59 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: I did -.- | 09:59 |
| rickyfingers | Yes, then you can use gparted to reformat the memory stick. | 09:59 |
| eisenhower | how can I figure out where a program is installed? | 09:59 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: its not working | 10:00 |
| bazhang | eisenhower, which | 10:00 |
| rickyfingers | try something like this at the command prompt: mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/sdb1 | 10:00 |
| rickyfingers | where /dev/sdwhatever is your mem stick. | 10:01 |
| * alpha is away: je retourne dans la vraie vie ;-) Je reviendrai ! (si je peut) | 10:01 | |
| blivori | rickyfingers: thanks I love you | 10:01 |
| rickyfingers | If your shell complains about mkfs.ext3 not existing, then there's a big part of your problem. | 10:01 |
| bazhang | !away > alpha | 10:01 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: don't joke about that. it's insulting. | 10:01 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: ok then. thanks I hate you | 10:02 |
| bazhang | eisenhower, which java for example | 10:02 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: that's better. | 10:02 |
| balachmar | Hi, does anyone know how too automatically unlock wifi at startup when you are using auto login? I used to use libpam-keyring-tool for that, but I cannot find that package in hardy. | 10:02 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: :) . aaaaaaaathommmmmmmmmmoooooood. thak | 10:02 |
| eisenhower | well what would yo uknow thats install installed in usr/bin ? | 10:02 |
| eisenhower | b/c everything i keep testing pops up there | 10:02 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: erm what the hell | 10:03 |
| bazhang | eisenhower, most is | 10:03 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: but now I can't mount the drive | 10:04 |
| eisenhower | bazhang: one last question. and thanks for helping out. You know where documentation is usualy located? | 10:04 |
| rickyfingers | too easy what's dmesg say? that'll tell you what /dev/whatever the mem stick is. | 10:04 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: do dmesg | less to capture the output | 10:04 |
| gordonjcp | blivori: What exactly are you trying to do? | 10:04 |
| bazhang | eisenhower, in the manual pages you mean? such as man dpkg or other | 10:05 |
| Ganondorf | bazhang: this is strange if i click on the dvd icon on my desktop movie player opens beyonce is still blue but no sound if i open up the dvd and choose the file it self i hear audio | 10:05 |
| Ganondorf | but she still blue | 10:05 |
| blivori | gordonjcp: copy files onto an ext3 pen drive | 10:05 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: then you just have to sudo mount /dev/reformatted-pen-drive-id /wherever you want | 10:06 |
| eisenhower | bazhang: for example if i did man gcc where is that docu coming from? is it part of the program or something? | 10:06 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: and? | 10:06 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: it is mounted | 10:06 |
| Omniwoof | Hello All! | 10:06 |
| robbie`` | hi | 10:06 |
| caesiumhydroxid | hoi | 10:06 |
| rickyfingers | where? what does the output say when you type "mount" | 10:06 |
| Omniwoof | <--- complete ubuntu nub here. ;) | 10:06 |
| bazhang | eisenhower, they are often installed with the packages iirc; though some may not have them and you have to package --help | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | blivori: ok | 10:06 |
| blivori | ricky in /dev/sdb1 | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | blivori: and what's stopping you doing that? | 10:06 |
| caesiumhydroxid | ^^ | 10:06 |
| blivori | gordonjcp: permission denied | 10:07 |
| eisenhower | bazhang: aite cool. ty for the help | 10:07 |
| gordonjcp | blivori: hm | 10:07 |
| bazhang | :) | 10:07 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: that doesn't sound right. /dev/sdb1 sounds like the device, what directory is it mounted on? | 10:07 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: sudo mount /dev/reformatted-pen-drive-id | 10:07 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,data=ordered) | 10:07 |
| rickyfingers | ok, then do a cd /media/disk | 10:07 |
| rickyfingers | and try "touch test" or "sudo touch test" what happens? | 10:08 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: touch test -> permission denied | 10:08 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: and sudo touch test just takes me back to /media/disk | 10:08 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: now do a "ls" do you see a file called "test" ? | 10:09 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: yes. Lost+found test | 10:09 |
| rickyfingers | blivori: can you paste me the exact output? | 10:09 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: I just did. | 10:10 |
| Jaikkuli | do i have to set unbuntu to look under certain workgroups in order to see those network workgroups? | 10:10 |
| Omniwoof | I was wondering if I could ask some basic questions about ubuntu here? It's with regards to hardware and drivers. | 10:10 |
| Jaikkuli | for example.. mine is mshome.. i want to see the other computers on ubuntu | 10:10 |
| m1dn1ght | hey guys- I seem to have corrupted my boot loader while trying to install a different distro on a seperate partition. I get "No operating system found". Ubuntu still seems to be OK on its partition, so can anyone please tell me how to restore my settings? (Using Live CD atm) | 10:11 |
| spion | hi | 10:11 |
| RealNitro | short question: is there a script in ubuntu that allows me to switch from gcc 3.2 to 4.1 (both are installed) | 10:11 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: dont ask to ask, just ask | 10:11 |
| spion | is there any documentation how to configure shorewall in a bridged xen environment (kernel > 2.6.20) with shorewall-perl? Maybe any other firewall frontend? | 10:11 |
| KillerOrca | anyone know how to set a non-static ip? | 10:12 |
| jftsang | What's the command for getting a .deb to extract? | 10:12 |
| blivori | rickyfingers: its lost+found test | 10:13 |
| spion | killerorca: hmm? | 10:13 |
| spion | how should be a non-statical thing be set? | 10:13 |
| billybongo | killerOrca: man interfaces | 10:14 |
| rickyfingers | Then you can write to the device, and it is mounted, otherwise you wouldn't see test. Try the same touch command with some crazy file name you invent on your own. You should see it too. The device will probably show up in gnome after you reboot. | 10:14 |
| Jaikkuli | can someone tell me how i can see other computers on my windows network through ubuntu | 10:15 |
| Omniwoof | Jai: Thanks. I'm having trouble with my audio output at the moment and I want to check why. I'm 90% sure it's because there aren't any drivers available (using a digital output to an amp which is a little unusal). I coudln't find anything under sound settings, and i want to check to see if the audio drivers are installed properly. How do I do this? | 10:15 |
| gordonjcp | !samba | Jaikkuli | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Jaikkuli: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 10:15 |
| Omniwoof | Jiakuli: I just shared the folders on the windows machines and used, 'Connect to Server' under the 'Places' menu. Browse away and you should be able to connect. | 10:16 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: i can only give one suggestion.. look under system/admin/hardware drivers.. see if it says you are lacking some drivers there | 10:17 |
| novato_br | is there some brazilian guy ? | 10:17 |
| vega-- | trying to upgrade from 7.10 (fully updated) to 8.04, but update-manager doesn't give the "upgrade to 8.04 button". not even when running update-manager -c | 10:18 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: so is server like workgroup name? | 10:18 |
| Jaikkuli | or is that domain name | 10:18 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: I'll walk you through it. | 10:19 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Firstly what windows OS are you running? Vista? Xp? | 10:19 |
| Jaikkuli | ubuntu :D | 10:19 |
| pihhan | hello | 10:19 |
| Omniwoof | chuckles | 10:19 |
| pihhan | i have problems with wifi kill switch on ubuntu hardy | 10:19 |
| blivori | Jaikkuli: since when w UBUNTUoney Microoft? | 10:19 |
| pihhan | anyone have it working? | 10:19 |
| blivori | OMG. | 10:20 |
| soulhacker | hi guys am behind a http proxy with authenitication how can i do svn checkout????thanks in advance?? | 10:20 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Are there other PC's in the network running windows? | 10:21 |
| rrohde | blivori: can you rephrase that sentence? :) | 10:21 |
| === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master | ||
| Jaikkuli | well.. it is not.. i never said it was.. the only thing i said about microsoft or windows is that the network was.. (despite the fact i didnt know routers were native to an OS.. but when i go into Network in ubuntu.. it says Windows Network | 10:21 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: yes, the other computers are using windows | 10:21 |
| blivori | rrohde: no. somethin is wrong ith my keybord | 10:21 |
| blivori | rrohde: omg. | 10:21 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Great! XP or vista or NT? Or is it a mix? | 10:21 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: xp | 10:21 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Ok thats good news because it should be fairly straightforward. Next question: Have you enabled filesharing on the XP machine(s)? | 10:22 |
| soulhacker | hi guys am behind a http proxy with authenitication how can i do svn checkout????thanks in advance | 10:22 |
| Jaikkuli | it should already be configured correctly.. as this computer used to run xp.. and they would share things fine | 10:22 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: yes :) | 10:22 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Good to know. :) Running a firewall? Nortons, trendmicro? | 10:23 |
| Jaikkuli | dont think so | 10:23 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: OK we'll assume not for now. OK now go to places, and got o connect to server. | 10:23 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: incase you didnt see.. i said it worked perfectly fine before, when this laptop was using xp.. so i figure the same config should be fine now, if it was then | 10:23 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: done | 10:23 |
| pihhan | soulhacker: is your repository http(s) or ssh based? | 10:23 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Shit shit.. Sorry Jia.. I had this working last night. Now it's screwed up. | 10:24 |
| Jaikkuli | haha :D oh damn | 10:24 |
| soulhacker | pihhan:svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk | 10:24 |
| dimas869 | i need to copy two file to a different directory....how do i do that? | 10:24 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: tell me what you did, and i will try to play around with it | 10:25 |
| Kanashimi | Hi there. I just upgraded a Ubuntu server edition system to 8.04. In the same it decided to remove tmda from the system, which is a required package for the system in question. Is there any way to install tmda in hardy at the moment through apt-get? Or do I need to build the sourcecode myself outside the package system? | 10:25 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Sorry, try this, 'Places' then 'Network' | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Omniwoof: please be mindful of your language | 10:25 |
| Omniwoof | Does it show you the windows workgroup name? | 10:25 |
| dimas869 | what is the command on terminal to copy a file to a different directory? | 10:25 |
| dpreacher | is there some place to check the softwares being installed after a sudo aptitude safe-upgrade? | 10:25 |
| soulhacker | pihhan:dont know type must be http i guess | 10:25 |
| ikonia | dimas869: cp | 10:25 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: it doesnt show mshome atleast.. it does show "windows network" | 10:26 |
| Kanashimi | dogmeat: man cp | 10:26 |
| Kanashimi | Erp, wrong name | 10:26 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: and if i go inside that.. no computers | 10:26 |
| pihhan | soulhacker: you cannot do that easily then | 10:26 |
| Kanashimi | dimas869: man cp | 10:26 |
| soulhacker | pihhan:i am not worried about it being easy can i do it dats da question?? | 10:26 |
| dimas869 | kanashimi man cp "file name" and then i guess paste right? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | dimas869: no - cp $source $target | 10:27 |
| ikonia | dimas869: replace source with your source file and target with your target location | 10:27 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: did you get those messages? | 10:27 |
| Kanashimi | dimas869: man is to show you a manual page of the command 'cp' which is used to copy files. | 10:27 |
| pihhan | soulhacker: dont know, you would need some tunel to change normal TCP connection to HTTP request to your proxy. i believe there are some tools, but never done that | 10:27 |
| dimas869 | kanashimi is the file going to also remain in the same directory? | 10:28 |
| Kanashimi | dimas869: Yes. | 10:28 |
| Wallgod | Hi All... please HELP.. i have uploaded some sites on a server thru FireFTP. Some of the folders i have set permissions to 2777 so that the client can uplaod images.... recently there is some crap javascript getting injected in th index files creating problems.... please help | 10:28 |
| pihhan | soulhacker: i would try downloading normal release if you havent tried, you will have it much easier | 10:28 |
| soulhacker | pihhan:ya i know i think proxychains should do it i have it will try and tell you | 10:28 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: sigh Sorry Jia. I wish I could help, but I must have just lucked out with the network sharing. | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: are you sure you want 2777 | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: thats very open permissions | 10:28 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: no worries.. but canyou tell me how you configured it with the connect to server thing? | 10:29 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, thanks for replying... i need to update an xml file in the root folder and upload images to another folder | 10:29 |
| dimas869 | kanashimi if perhaps the file is in /usr/lip/codecs and name is win32 how that would be then? | 10:29 |
| Bollinger | why oh why does ubuntu 8.04 install a beta version of firefox.. | 10:29 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Well thats the thing. Last time I looked at it there was an option to choose 'Windows Share' then browse for the network. Since I've updated it seems gone. | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: yes, that makes sense, but are you sure your want the permissons to be very wide open with 2777 | 10:29 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: well i still have windows share | 10:30 |
| soulhacker | pihhan:ok i will try the normal release thanx anyways | 10:30 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: but i dont really see a way to "browse" exactly.. i still have to insert information | 10:30 |
| Kanashimi | dimas869: cp /usr/lib/codecs/win32 /what/ever/path -- If you read the manual page, it will explain things for you. Including recursive copying, etc. | 10:30 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: there are PROXY environment varibles for SVN | 10:31 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, honestly i dont understand this permissions thing too well.. in FireFTP i right click a folder and set to Read, Write and Execute and it sets the permissions to 2777 | 10:31 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: I don't know them to hand, but you can do things like SVN_PROXY=10.11.216.1 | 10:31 |
| soulhacker | ikonia:exprt http_proxy already tried | 10:31 |
| dimas869 | kanashimi is that manual apt-get? | 10:31 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: is that an svn varible, or generic | 10:31 |
| Kanashimi | Anyone here have TMDA running on Hardy 8.04? | 10:31 |
| soulhacker | ikonia:will google your suggestion | 10:31 |
| Kanashimi | dimas869: Type 'man cp' sans the quotes. | 10:31 |
| dpreacher | is there some place to check the softwares being installed after a sudo aptitude safe-upgrade? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: well, I suggest you look at your client then | 10:32 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: I'm still trying to look for it since this is something I'm going to have learn eventually anyway. I'll let you know if I find something. | 10:32 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: why ? | 10:32 |
| zorglu_ | q. what is the channel name for the motu people ? | 10:32 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, look at the client? | 10:32 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, can u suggest me a folder permissions number that i can directly put in the right click options | 10:33 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: i am going to try to access the other pc by typing in the name in the address bar.. like smb:///Computer/ or something.. but i am not sure if that is exactly it, do you know? | 10:33 |
| zcat[1] | Wallgod: if someone needs to uload files, it would be bets to give them an account with password, and give that account access. I gather you're allowing Anonymous ftp logins to write to folders, which is really insecure.. ppy will upload javascript exploits, etc. as you're seeing | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: who hosts this website ? | 10:33 |
| zvacet | dpreacher : mayb in synaptic>file tab>history | 10:33 |
| soulhacker | ikonia:well svn_proxy on google gave no results and that variable is generic(got my wget working with that) | 10:33 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: I guess you have read this | 10:34 |
| ikonia | http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#proxy | 10:34 |
| Wallgod | zcat[1], ikonia , only the client will use this side of the site... its a CMS | 10:34 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: because i think it sees the mshome network.. it just doesnt see the computer.. for no particlar reason.. i have had this problem. which seems to come and go for no reason.. on both ubuntu and windows.. so this might help | 10:34 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: ok - thats the problem | 10:34 |
| dpreacher | zvacet only ssh access now...command line solution preferable | 10:34 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: I said I can't remember the exact options to off the top of my head it is something like "svn_proxy" | 10:34 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: On my it's smb://{workgroup] | 10:34 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: and the generic variable will not be picked up by svn | 10:34 |
| RoadHazard | jakkul: did you put a wins server in the mix | 10:34 |
| Omniwoof | Sorry: smb://workgroup | 10:34 |
| zvacet | zorglu_ :#ubuntu-motu | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: who hosts this website ? | 10:35 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, there is this space we(company i work for) got from Answerable.com | 10:35 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, they host all our sites | 10:35 |
| Omniwoof | Where 'workgroup' is the name of your workgroup, sop for you I believe it will be smb://MSHOME | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: contact your provider then and ask them to fix the permissions, 2777 is not a wise permission set | 10:35 |
| zorglu_ | zvacet, ok thqnks | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: they will know what to do rather than expalin it to you | 10:35 |
| soulhacker | ikonia:got it my squid doesnt support svn methods propfind etc | 10:35 |
| zorglu_ | thanks even :) | 10:35 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: do you mean... do i have a windows server computer in my network.. or? | 10:35 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, ok.... thanks... | 10:35 |
| ikonia | soulhacker: looks like y our running out of options then | 10:35 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: did you set your smb server to also serve wins | 10:36 |
| Jaikkuli | i am not sure | 10:36 |
| {g} | Hey People! For Gnome, is there any kind of commandline-utility to change the screen resolution? Or do i always have to edit the x-config and restart gnome etc if i want to try a new resolution? | 10:36 |
| Jaikkuli | i dont recall so | 10:36 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, zcat[1], is there a folder permission number that i can write instead of 2777 | 10:36 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: i dont think so | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: no - contact your hosting provider | 10:36 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: how would i do that | 10:36 |
| eisenhower | cansomeone tell me what pwds stands for? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: this is not something you can change | 10:36 |
| soulhacker | ikonia:yup thanks anyways will try to get a precompiled deb or tar.gz anyways thanks | 10:36 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: can you get the samba box by ip? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Wallgod: your hosting provider will fix this for you | 10:36 |
| soundray | {g}: if you graphics and driver support it, you can use xrandr | 10:36 |
| Jaikkuli | samba box? | 10:36 |
| Wallgod | ikonia, ok thanks again | 10:36 |
| sarmisak | eisenhower: passwords? | 10:37 |
| RoadHazard | smb | 10:37 |
| eisenhower | sarmisak: mhmm kay thats what i thought | 10:37 |
| Jaikkuli | i dont know... :D how do i do that? | 10:37 |
| RoadHazard | smb://###.###.###.### | 10:37 |
| sarmisak | eisenhower: it might also mean print working(curren) directory | 10:37 |
| Jaikkuli | well i think it works if i put in smb://mshome | 10:38 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: but i still see no computers there | 10:38 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: if i put in smb://mshome | 10:38 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: i doubt putting the ip would make a difference | 10:38 |
| RoadHazard | youre going to need something in there serving names instead of numbers | 10:39 |
| joanki2 | does anyonek now how i get get sqlalchemy? | 10:39 |
| {g} | soundray: hmm.. xrandr does not take resolutions as input. only index numbers of predefined resolutions. | 10:39 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: i dont really know what you are talking about :D | 10:39 |
| RoadHazard | try getting the smb server by ip if you would | 10:39 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: which ip do i use.. i am not very knowledgable with ips.. | 10:40 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: gateway ip or? | 10:40 |
| RoadHazard | the ip of the machine you are attempting to contact at smb://waddever | 10:40 |
| Jaikkuli | oh | 10:40 |
| snowblink | anyone else getting bad headers from gb.archive.ubuntu.com? | 10:41 |
| zcat[1] | RoadHazard, Jaikkuli: be aware that SMB works on a master server / broadcast system.. it can take a number of minutes for machines to elect a master browser and get around to announcing themselves so that other machines can see them on the network. Sometimes the best way to fix samba problems is go make a cup of coffee and come back in five minutes. | 10:41 |
| RoadHazard | thats why I'm looking at accessing by ip, to see if its serving names yet | 10:41 |
| Omniwoof | zcat1: Thanks for that. Good to know what it's doing in the background. | 10:41 |
| soundray | {g}: you want to switch to a non pre-defined resolution dynamically? I don't think the design of X allows that. | 10:42 |
| {g} | soundray: ok. damn x coders. lamers. stupid. | 10:42 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: well i put in smb:// followed by the ip.. didnt give me any prompts.. just an empty window | 10:43 |
| RoadHazard | try pinging that ip? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | soundray: could he not hardcode it into xorg.conf ? | 10:43 |
| Jaikkuli | how? | 10:43 |
| zcat[1] | Jaikkuli: OK, so samba is there but no folders are being shared? | 10:43 |
| RoadHazard | terminal > ping ###.###.###.### | 10:43 |
| Jaikkuli | zcat[1]: there is files being shared.. i know because when this computer had xp on it.. it could see the other computer.. and see its files just fine before | 10:44 |
| === bon-jovi is now known as pancyber | ||
| soundray | ikonia: hardcoding = pre-defining | 10:44 |
| soundray | {g}: pull yourself together | 10:44 |
| ikonia | soundray: but that would only be a one time definition, I missed the first part of the question so I don't know if thats important to him. | 10:45 |
| soundray | {g}: at the time X was designed, nobody assumed that monitors would ever support more than one resolution | 10:45 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: I'd try pinging the windows machine first. Make sure you are actually getting a connection through the network, then I'd grab a folder on the XP machine, right click, go to sharing and security and make it a shared folder. Just to be 100% that it is shared and you can conect to it. | 10:45 |
| KillerOrca | does anyone know how to set up a non-static ip? | 10:45 |
| Omniwoof | KillerOrca: Local network or WAN? | 10:46 |
| ikonia | KillerOrca: open networking system -> Administration, and set your card to dhcp | 10:46 |
| soundray | KillerOrca: dynamic IP = DHCP | 10:46 |
| {g} | soundray: yeah | 10:46 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: well the ping is currently sitting there | 10:46 |
| KillerOrca | Omniwoof: not sure | 10:46 |
| zcat[1] | soundray: I'm not exactly sure how this works, but with the nvidia drivers I have only one resolution defined in xorg.conf and of course alt+/- does nothing, but nvidia-settings lets me jump to any other res and refresh rate quite easily (without quitting session, etc) so the functionality is in there somewhere | 10:46 |
| KillerOrca | ikonia: no gui | 10:46 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: guess it isnt finding anything | 10:46 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: are you on the same subnet as the smb machine? | 10:47 |
| Jaikkuli | subnet? you mean.. connected to the same network? | 10:47 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: we are connected to my same wireless router yes | 10:47 |
| napsy_ | Hello. I've created a new virtual display with Xvfb with a screen numbered 1. I started a program on that screen. Now I want to atart another program on the same display on a different screen. How to do that? | 10:48 |
| zcat[1] | Jaikkuli: 192.168.1.x .. same first three numbers on both machines? | 10:48 |
| RoadHazard | if you cant ping it youre not gonna smb it | 10:48 |
| Jaikkuli | zcat[1]: yes | 10:48 |
| soundray | zcat[1]: are you sure it lets you set *any* combination? I think it will support VESA modes plus some extra ones, but not arbitrary resolutions (say, 1000x800) | 10:48 |
| mgs88 | When I try to update give me this Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1) | 10:48 |
| mcphail | KillerOrca: examples under "man interfaces" | 10:48 |
| ikonia | KillerOrca: your using the server edition ? | 10:48 |
| Jaikkuli | zcat[1]: wait a sec | 10:48 |
| RoadHazard | mgs88: have you been doing anythign with the firewall? | 10:49 |
| Jaikkuli | no.. i think this computer has a different ip | 10:49 |
| mgs88 | no | 10:49 |
| KillerOrca | ikonia: in a way, with gui was way to slow, so I turned it off and it is headless | 10:49 |
| zcat[1] | soundray: well, yeah.. any supported res I think.. the point is they're not predefined in xorg.conf and I can't switch res with alt-+ or alt-- | 10:49 |
| Jaikkuli | zcat[1]: the one starting in 192.168.1. should be the first IP address right.. the one at the top? in connection information? | 10:49 |
| zcat[1] | .. but nvidia-config can jump to other settings without restarting X or writing new stuff to xorg.conf | 10:50 |
| Jaikkuli | beause mine is nothing like that.. however the other computer does start with 192.168.1 | 10:50 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: and theyre all plugged into the same router? | 10:50 |
| soundray | zcat[1]: "predefined" doesn't necessarily mean "predefined in xorg.conf" though. Look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and you'll probably see that it probes various modes during startup and thus pre-defines them. | 10:50 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: wireless.. well let me check again | 10:50 |
| mgs88 | RoadHazard: I just installed foxyproxy and I remove it | 10:50 |
| dylan_ | I'm trying to set up file sharing between to ubuntu machines plugged into a router. I right clicked on the folder and selected sharing options and it said I didn't have permission. | 10:51 |
| RoadHazard | ahh mgs you need to stop it from looking for a proxy | 10:51 |
| dylan_ | I didn't see a place to type the PW in | 10:52 |
| RoadHazard | because its looking for foxy at 4001 | 10:52 |
| zcat[1] | soundray: like I said, I'm not really sure how it works.. but I know I used to have to have a line like "1196x967" "1024x768" "800x600" and I could switch between them .. what nvidia-settings does is something different than this | 10:52 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: doesn't nvidia-settings to it in memory though ? | 10:53 |
| mgs88 | RoadHazard:that is right but I remove it | 10:53 |
| Jaikkuli | zcat[1], RoadHazard i dont know what happened.. but i reconnected the other computer.. and now everything works fine.. the network now shows as mshome.. and the other computers shows up | 10:53 |
| RoadHazard | and in what are you getting the cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:4001 | 10:53 |
| zcat[1] | Jaikkuli: It's been a few minutes.. 'magic' -- you should have just gone and had a coffee like I suggested ;) | 10:53 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: ahh the master browser lag, well good, party on jai | 10:54 |
| Jaikkuli | zcat[1]: :D like me.. i hate sitting around and waiting | 10:54 |

| Jaikkuli | thanks guys | 10:54 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: Gratz! | 10:54 |

| lopin | I need a way to tell why my wireless isn't working? | 10:55 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: i guess i am just a typical cool guy.. i like my fast cars, girls and food | 10:55 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: BTW it was probably windows. Often you'll have to restart or disconnect/reconnect a machine from the network to get a workgroup to actually show up. | 10:55 |
| Jaikkuli | Omniwoof: yeah.. well there is one other reason i have to convince my girlfriend to use ubuntu | 10:56 |
| mgs88 | RoadHazard: how to set default proxy | 10:56 |
| RoadHazard | mgs88: in what program? | 10:56 |
| lopin | Like, it was working before I took apart the laptop to clean it, but I don't now if it's the driver acting up again, or I might have broken the antennas... | 10:56 |
| zcat[1] | SMB is pretty braindead but not too bad once it's working.. nfs has some pretty annoying issues too.. | 10:56 |
| mgs88 | RoadHazard: for the apt | 10:57 |
| soulhacker | hi anybody know a replacment for update-modules in hardy | 10:57 |
| Omniwoof | Jia: laughs Well good luck with that. Dunno what sort of support this channel has for girlfriend though. ;) | 10:57 |
| zcat[1] | 'man girlfriend' -- I don't think they come with a manpage though.. | 10:58 |
| lopin | If I were to set up an adhoc network, and see if another computer can pick it up? Could someone tell me how I'd do that? | 10:58 |
| RoadHazard | mgs88: could you postbin your /etc/network/interfaces? | 10:58 |
| zcat[1] | !girlfriend | 10:59 |
| ubottu | Factoid girlfriend not found | 10:59 |

| Omniwoof | Without wanting to seem too impatient can anyone help me diag my audio output via digial optical issue? | 11:03 |
| joanki2 | has anyone ever gotten this error message ? ImportError: cannot import name sessionmaker | 11:03 |
| magnetron | Omniwoof: just state your problem and ask your question | 11:03 |
| magnetron | !anyone | Omniwoof, joanki2 | 11:04 |
| ubottu | Omniwoof, joanki2: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:04 |
| KillerOrca | command line non static ip setup? | 11:04 |
| Jaikkuli | where is the wine c: directory placed? | 11:05 |
| Omniwoof | Ok, motherboard is an gigabtye GA-p35-s3l with onboard HD Audio and digital output. At the moment there is no output via the digial audio. need to check to see if I have the right drivers (if they exist). | 11:05 |
| fxtgear | /home/user/.wine | 11:05 |
| Jaikkuli | fxtgear: thanks | 11:05 |
| magnetron | Jaikkuli: are you using the standard wine in ubuntu? applications menu > wine > c: drive | 11:05 |
| billybongo | KillerOrca: see my message earlier | 11:06 |
| mgs88 | RoadHazard: then | 11:06 |
| Jaikkuli | magnetron: well i tried that.. but for some reason nothing opens when i click it | 11:06 |
| arno-t | hi all what is your favourite command-line tool for extracting mp3tags? | 11:06 |
| KillerOrca | billybongo: actually no, I got an unexpected restart and I don't know how to scroll up in irssi | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | joanki2: sounds like it can't import the module called sessionmaker | 11:06 |
| billybongo | KillerOrca: what do you want to do - just pick up an ip number from dhcp? | 11:07 |
| Jaikkuli | fxtgear: i cannot find it.. and yes i have hidden shown | 11:07 |
| magnetron | Jaikkuli: the folder is created the first time you run wine | 11:08 |
| Jaikkuli | fxtgear: perhaps i need to configure before it is made? | 11:08 |
| KillerOrca | billybongo: I set it to a static ip before, but it wasn't from editing the /etc/network/ file, it was using ifconfig on the command line | 11:08 |
| billybongo | KillerOrca: if so you could do something like "dhclient eth0" | 11:08 |
| mudd`Hossam | Omniwoof: right click speaker icon at the top right of your screen --> go to edit --> preferences --> check the IEC958 option --> select close --> close the volume control --> open the volume control once more --> go to the switches tab --> enjoy spdif audio | 11:08 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: open terminal type winecfg | 11:08 |
| billybongo | KillerOrca: do you want to changes to last past a reboot? | 11:09 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: already sorted :) | 11:09 |
| mudd`Hossam | Omniwoof: oh and dont forget to select IEC958 from the switches tab | 11:09 |
| RoadHazard | k | 11:09 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: thanks again | 11:09 |
| Jaikkuli | whoops, that thanks was for everyone else | 11:09 |
| KillerOrca | billybongo: well before my problem was making it a lasting static ip, so yes but non-static | 11:09 |
| Omniwoof | Mudd: Thanks! But don't seem to have IEC958 as an option. | 11:09 |
| pen_ | anyone know how to triple boot ? | 11:10 |
| pen_ | I have vista ubuntu and I want to install mac together | 11:10 |
| KillerOrca | pen_: just install them all, windows 1st though | 11:10 |
| magnetron | Omniwoof: some sound cards call it "digital" or similar | 11:10 |
| Omniwoof | Mudd: Sorry take that back. | 11:10 |
| Omniwoof | Mudd: Give me a min here. | 11:10 |
| pen_ | KillerOrca, but I want to use grub as my bootloader | 11:10 |
| mudd`Hossam | Omniwoof: select all of the available options, then go to switched and play with them until sound comes from your speakers | 11:10 |
| pen_ | KillerOrca, how can I do that? | 11:10 |
| mudd`Hossam | Omniwoof: *switches | 11:10 |
| pen_ | KillerOrca, I have already install vista nad ubuntu | 11:10 |
| RoadHazard | KillerOrca: edit /etc/network/interfaces and change the static line to this http://kszk.sch.bme.hu/net/dhcp/settingsenlin.php | 11:11 |
| KillerOrca | pen_: you want to install them all on the mac? | 11:11 |
| pen_ | KillerOrca, this is a intel laptop | 11:11 |
| pen_ | KillerOrca, I don't have a macbook | 11:11 |
| eth01 | RoadHazard: what the hell are you doing? | 11:11 |
| magnetron | pen_: which OS are you planning on installing | 11:11 |
| KillerOrca | pen_: ok so what are the 3 OSes? | 11:11 |
| pen_ | magnetron, mac on my intel laptop | 11:11 |
| RoadHazard | attempting to get him changed back over dhcp | 11:11 |
| pen_ | KillerOrca, vista, ubuntu and mac | 11:11 |
| billybongo | pen_: triple booting is the same as double booting | 11:11 |
| billybongo | but how are you going to turn your intel PC into a mac? | 11:12 |
| pen_ | billybob, but I'm afriad of the bootcamp from mac would destroy grub or something | 11:12 |
| an_tor| | pen_: you can reinstall grub easily | 11:12 |
| RoadHazard | if that isnt the way to do it I'm all ears | 11:12 |
| pen_ | billybongo, my cpu supports the instruction I can install mac on it | 11:12 |
| magnetron | pen_: oh, can't help you with that. this IRC network would risk shutting down if we supporte piracy. sorry | 11:12 |
| billybongo | pen_: bootcamp probably won't even run on a non-mac | 11:12 |
| eth01 | RoadHazard: yes, but you don't need to put that link into .interfaces | 11:13 |
| eth01 | (which is what you actually said) | 11:13 |
| RoadHazard | no no, its instructions on how to do it | 11:13 |
| billybongo | and yes, it would in complete breach of the license | 11:13 |
| pen_ | why does this has to be involved with piracy? | 11:13 |
| eth01 | RoadHazard: read over what you said. | 11:13 |
| RoadHazard | yeah, my bad | 11:13 |
| KillerOrca | pen_: mac not meant to run on non apple hardware | 11:13 |
| eth01 | "KillerOrca: edit /etc/network/interfaces and change the static line to this http://kszk.sch.bme.hu/net/dhcp/settingsenlin.php" | 11:13 |
| magnetron | pen com on. | 11:13 |
| billybongo | pen_ have you agreed to the apple EULA? | 11:13 |
| eth01 | thank you. | 11:13 |
| keebler_ | ummm, sorry for my ignorance, but what is bootcamp? | 11:14 |
| magnetron | keebler_: a mac thing. we don't discuss it here. | 11:14 |
| pen_ | billybongo, what do you want to say? I don't want to read through it. | 11:14 |
| J-a-k-e | hi all, does anyone know how i might go about changing speakers settings and setting a lfe crossover in pulseaudio? | 11:14 |
| CroX | I'm not getting any sound from youtube's flash, after just installing it, but the video is showing. Anyone know what can cause this? | 11:14 |
| KillerOrca | keebler_: mac program for running more than one OS | 11:14 |
| keebler_ | oh ok | 11:14 |
| billybongo | keebler_: bootcamp is a Mac program that allows you to install XP on a mac | 11:14 |
| eth01 | "Leopard is the world’s most advanced operating system. So advanced, it even lets you run Windows if there’s a PC application you need to use. Just get a copy of Windows and start up Boot Camp, now included with Leopard. Setup is simple and straightforward just as you’d expect with a Mac." @ keebler_ | 11:14 |
| RoadHazard | leopard's father is a fruit, and its mother is open source | 11:15 |
| KillerOrca | CroX: flash is a tricky thing to work with, does it work elsewhere? | 11:15 |
| keebler_ | ok, now why would you want to run windoze on a mac | 11:15 |
| Omniwoof | Mudd: Thank you, it isn't working quite yet, but I think you've pointed me in the right direction. | 11:15 |
| KillerOrca | keebler_: if you need to run business apps | 11:15 |
| magnetron | keebler_: we don't discuss it here. ok? | 11:15 |
| billybongo | pen_: either you have a mac, in which case you'll already have OSX on it, or you don't have one, in which case you'll need to buy OSX to put on one and agree to the EULA | 11:15 |
| eth01 | keebler_: why would you want to run windows on ubuntu? same bloody question. moving on. | 11:15 |
| MrNaz | ive been using xubuntu for 4 days now, its my first real steps out of windows on the desktop world and its been great, i've gotten my one windows app (ultrastudio ide) workgin in wine, running the nvidia binary driver for 3d gfx and i've sorted sharing files between this pc and my win pcs... however 2 small niggles remain, and i need help: | 11:15 |

| CroX | KillerOrca: Checking Revver. Don't know any other place of the top of my head that has sound in flash apps. | 11:16 |
| magnetron | eth01: i already warned him TWICE. i'm not hasty | 11:16 |
| eth01 | capitals :) | 11:16 |
| KillerOrca | CroX: southparkstudios.com uses flash to plat the episodes, try there | 11:16 |
| pen_ | billybongo, do you guys mean that mac has always come with the macbook? no cd? | 11:16 |
| pen_ | billybongo, omh | 11:16 |
| CroX | KillerOrca: Tried Revver and last.fm but neither gives sound. | 11:17 |
| KillerOrca | pen_: do you have an apple, I can't figure it out | 11:17 |
| billybongo | pen_ what do you mean by "mac" ? | 11:17 |
| keebler_ | Magnetron, was just asking a question. Isn't that what life is al about, if you dont know ask | 11:17 |
| billybongo | do you mean "OSX" ? | 11:17 |
| pen_ | yes | 11:17 |
| pen_ | I usually call it mac | 11:17 |

| DaveTarmac | Does anyone have any experience of VNC-ing to a Mac over a VPN? | 11:32 |
| DaveTarmac | I'm using 8.04 | 11:32 |
| vega-- | trying to upgrade from 7.10 (fully updated) to 8.04, but update-manager doesn't give the "upgrade to 8.04 button". not even when running update-manager -c | 11:33 |
| KillerOrca | DaveTarmac: which direction are you trying to go? | 11:33 |
| DaveTarmac | from Ubuntu -> Mac | 11:33 |
| magnetron | DaveTarmac: there should be no difference to vncing over the internet, provided that you are connected to the VPN | 11:33 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: hold on I think I can pull up some old install instructions | 11:33 |
| RoadHazard | DaveTarmac: hosting on the ubuntu box would work with x11vnc | 11:34 |
| soundray | vega--: try 'gksudo update-manager -d -c' | 11:34 |
| jimcooncat | What browser should I use in order to see websites the way they will render on a Mac? | 11:34 |
| soundray | vega--: 'sudo do-release-upgrade' should work as well | 11:34 |
| magnetron | jimcooncat: maybe konqueror or midori | 11:34 |
| DaveTarmac | I've managed to establish the VPN, but when I try to use xtightvncviewer I get the IP dialog box, so I type it in then nothing happens | 11:34 |
| billybongo | magnetron: are you kidding? | 11:35 |
| vega-- | soundray: neither works | 11:35 |
| vega-- | soundray: do-release-upgrade gives "no new releases" | 11:35 |
| jimcooncat | magnetron: am I looking for one built with webkit? | 11:35 |

| vega-- | KillerOrca: no desktop | 11:35 |
| jimcooncat | billybongo: not being a Mac user, I can only guess | 11:36 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: ok these are command line for server, but they should work | 11:36 |

| billybongo | it depends entirely on the browser | 11:36 |

| RoadHazard | DaveTarmac: are you serving vnc at the mac end or ubuntu? | 11:37 |
| jimcooncat | billybongo: whatever the default browser is that comes with a new mac, example how will my site look on windows would mean IE. | 11:37 |
| billybongo | magnetron: you've clearly not been on #debian | 11:37 |
| magnetron | billybongo: this isn't debian | 11:37 |
| RoadHazard | theyre mean | 11:38 |

| vega-- | KillerOrca: and do-release-upgrade, doesn't work.. | 11:38 |
| U-G-G | KillerOrca: i cannot dl it to /opt folder, it says "Cannot write to `firefox-2.0.0.14.tar.gz' (Permission denied)." and i'm login as root | 11:38 |
| billybongo | jimcooncat: a lot of mac users use firefox these days | 11:38 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: I used those instructions myself, are you using sudo? | 11:38 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: yes | 11:38 |
| RoadHazard | and are you putting the port number in the vnc ip box? | 11:38 |
| KillerOrca | U-G-G: for visual apps you need gksudo | 11:38 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: basically tried all the official stuff.. | 11:39 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: what does it say? | 11:39 |
| soundray | jimcooncat: safari uses WebKit, which is derived from KHTML. Browsers that render using the same engine are konqueror and epiphany (new versions of the latter) | 11:39 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: "no new releases found" | 11:39 |
| jimcooncat | thanks billybongo, I'm trying to set up a machine that will show how a website will look with all popular renderings. | 11:39 |
| magnetron | soundray: epiphany-webkit is yet to be included in ubuntu | 11:39 |
| DaveTarmac | magnetron: I'll have a look at Vinaigre tonight | 11:40 |
| soundray | magnetron: oh, thanks | 11:40 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: well I will check my command history real fast | 11:40 |
| J-a-k-e | does anyone know how i wouild go about fixing my installation of grub I've tried re-installing grub several times off the hardy 8.04 disk tho it's only a temporary fix | 11:40 |
| jimcooncat | soundray: yes, I was hoping to use epiphany for both gecko and webkit | 11:40 |
| Anton1234 | HI. I nedd help with iptables. I want to monitor network traffic (to detect malwares on a Windows computer) and I want to use a Linux box with Wireshark between that computer and the modem. So I need to configure pass-all rules (tcp, udp, icmp, etc.) that would simply forward all (and really all) the traffic form eth1 (connected to win.box) to eth0 (connected to the modem) and vice versa. Could anybody tell me how to do it? I need only th | 11:40 |
| Anton1234 | e iptables command. Everything else is already done. Thanks. | 11:40 |
| DaveTarmac | RoadHazard: I haven't added an ports to the IP box | 11:40 |
| RoadHazard | ok when you type in the mac's ip, put in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx:5900 | 11:41 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: what happens when you so a regular sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade? | 11:41 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: nothing, it's a fully upgraded gutsy | 11:41 |
| DaveTarmac | RoadHazard: Thanks for the advice - I'll give it a try tonight (not at the machine at the moment) | 11:42 |
| soundray | vega--: which version of update-manager do you have? | 11:42 |
| vega-- | i've also gone through a lot of similiar but not quite from www.ubuntuforums.org .. next is reinstall | 11:42 |
| cew_liverpudlian | cew_liverpudlian | 11:42 |
| RoadHazard | DaveTarmac: itll probably live on 5900 or 5901 | 11:42 |
| SnOke | hi | 11:43 |
| vega-- | soundray: 1:0.81.3 (newest gutsy) | 11:43 |
| vega-- | update-manager-core is also installed, as is ubuntu-desktop | 11:43 |
| SnOke | how install red5 on ubuntu server 7.04? | 11:43 |
| vega-- | SnOke: what IS red5? | 11:44 |
| akonkwa | !xubuntu | 11:44 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 11:44 |
| SnOke | is a server for streaming | 11:44 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: well I am stumped, you know how to use sudo, and your system is updated so there is no reason those commands should not work | 11:44 |
| jimcooncat | is there a window manager or applet that uses a tab interface instead of a "window list"? | 11:44 |
| RoadHazard | SnOke: got a .deb for it? | 11:44 |
| SnOke | alternative to flash media server | 11:44 |
| DaveTarmac | Also - and I've been looking around the web for this - but does anyone else's browser crash when Flash is used? I've tried updating to the Flash 10 beta, but no joy. I've tried disabling compositing and still crashes | 11:44 |
| mudd`Hossam | anyone here using kolab? im thinking of jumping in feet first with this thing | 11:45 |
| vega-- | SnOke: probably according to it's instructions because it doesn't seem to be in ubuntu repositories.. | 11:45 |
| RoadHazard | hossam: might wanna look at egroupware too | 11:45 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: me too, i'll just probably go for editing sources.list manually to hardy then dist-upgrade even though it's not recommended | 11:45 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: if that fails then just reinstall, /home is on separate partition anyway | 11:45 |
| mudd`Hossam | RoadHazard: will do, ive got a horde , imap, postix, sasl set up already | 11:45 |
| SnOke | RoadHazard yes, in: http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/0.6.3/debian/red5_0.6.3-1_all.deb | 11:45 |
| mudd`Hossam | RoadHazard: all id need then was kolab and ldap | 11:46 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: step ahead of me there, my next install will be putting home alone | 11:46 |
| RoadHazard | mudd`Hossam: cool deal, just an idea | 11:46 |
| mudd`Hossam | RoadHazard: ill check it out | 11:46 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: ok, thanks anyways | 11:47 |
| RoadHazard | vega--: I wouldnt do the sources.list/dist-upgrade thing, it borked me | 11:47 |
| KillerOrca | vega--: you could upgrade from cd | 11:48 |
| mudd`Hossam | RoadHazard: which would you prefer horde or egroupware? | 11:48 |
| jimcooncat | mudd`Hossam: you might want to use virtualbox or a separate machine for testing, I've made quite a mess trying new mail servers | 11:48 |
| billybongo | jimcooncat: your problem is going to be IE7, unless you run XP on qemu or vmware | 11:48 |
| mudd`Hossam | jimcooncat: definitely | 11:48 |
| RoadHazard | I like egroupware, but thats just me | 11:48 |
| sCOTTo | hey guys - can anyone suggest a linux package for mapping? I need to map out what I need in a software package that will be designed in php... | 11:48 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: what egroupware like? | 11:49 |
| mudd`Hossam | RoadHazard: ill check out the demo and whatnot thanks! | 11:49 |
| vega-- | KillerOrca: true, have to think about it.. | 11:49 |
| mudd`Hossam | http://www.egroupware.org/screenshots | 11:49 |
| RoadHazard | mudd`Hossam: its free, no demo | 11:49 |
| jimcooncat | billybongo: yes, I know that's going to be tough. I was hoping there was an ie4linux for it | 11:49 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: does it setup on mysqo ? | 11:49 |
| RoadHazard | yuppers | 11:49 |
| billybongo | jimcooncat: very unreliable in my experience | 11:49 |
| vega-- | RoadHazard: perhaps, but then there's still the reinstall option left.. it's a secondary computer anyway | 11:49 |
| mudd`Hossam | RoadHazard: i mean the interactive demo | 11:49 |
| RoadHazard | oh, I dunno, never used the demo | 11:49 |
| billybongo | jimcooncat: it sounds like you're in a similar field to me - I ended up getting XP installed in a virtual machine | 11:49 |
| billybongo | it's just too reliable otherwise | 11:50 |
| billybongo | but at least it doesn't need anything else and because it's only ever started for IE it never goes wrong | 11:50 |
| RoadHazard | the real deal uses mysql or pgsql | 11:50 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: can you give me a run down of what it DOES do well and doent do etc? | 11:50 |
| BigRed | Trying to install ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso on a HP Pavillion Dv8000 series notebook (can get exact model # if you need it)....I get the black screen/blinking cursor no matter what options I choose. If I do remove the quiet option it hangs after this line.....[ 38.425053] ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode | 11:51 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: i need to setup something like sugarcrm - but to customise it to what I am doing - I need to manage workflow of web design - let me clients know when each step is complete etc... | 11:51 |
| jimcooncat | billybongo: yeah, unfortunately I want to use this on a remote Xen host, which I can't further virtualize. | 11:51 |
| RoadHazard | calendaring is good, webmail works with pop or imap | 11:51 |
| BigRed | Ive tried the "remove the battery and disconnect AC power and then boot with just battery" as suugest here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/191137 | 11:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 191137 in linux "[Hardy] ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) stops boot when kernel boot 'quiet' option is enabled or AC power is connected" [High,In progress] | 11:51 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: have you checked the cd for defects? | 11:51 |
| BigRed | when I do that it gives me the same black screen blinking cursor | 11:52 |
| RoadHazard | www.egroupware.org would explain it better than I can | 11:52 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: any other systems you could test the cd on? | 11:52 |
| BigRed | ive done md5 checks and ive tried installs of studio, server, "ultimate ubuntu" as well as downloaded from multiple mirrors | 11:52 |
| sCOTTo | thanks ill go check it out :) it MIGHT do what i need :) | 11:52 |
| sCOTTo | bbs | 11:52 |
| BigRed | all burnt at 1x | 11:52 |
| RoadHazard | and it is in the repos | 11:53 |
| sCOTTo | yup yup | 11:53 |
| BigRed | yeah I can try it on this machine | 11:53 |
| BigRed | be back in a few | 11:53 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: but no tests on other machines? | 11:53 |
| BigRed | correct | 11:53 |
| jimcooncat | looks like ie4linux can use the ie7 rendering engine, I'll give that a shot | 11:53 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: you don't have to burn at the slowest speed | 11:54 |
| BigRed | I did it just to be safe | 11:54 |
| jimcooncat | ugh, cookies don't work | 11:54 |
| BigRed | im pretty close to giving up on ubuntu for this laptop | 11:54 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: yeah, I did that too, burn at about half | 11:54 |
| BigRed | been at it for around 10 hours | 11:54 |
| Nyad | Hi. i have ubuntu installed on a partition.

| wildfire_ | anybody from mindanao | 11:55 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: it doesn't always work, have to check the hardware database | 11:55 |
| jimcooncat | BigRed: you could try installing with the mini.iso, it worked well for my gf laptop | 11:55 |
| RoadHazard | nyad rsync might be your winner there | 11:56 |
| Millow | Hello Iäm having trouble with my Ubuntu 8-04 VPS, I keep getting this error, cannot allocate memory | 11:56 |
| Nyad | !rsync | 11:56 |
| ubottu | Factoid rsync not found | 11:56 |
| RoadHazard | millow could you paste the error? | 11:56 |
| Millow | RoadHazard: kk from the apache2 log | 11:57 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: could also not meet the system requirementss | 11:57 |
| jimcooncat | Nyad, you might want to try just resizing the partition after you backup, it would save you a lot of work if it works | 11:57 |
| BigRed | its a newer laptop | 11:57 |
| BigRed | where is the hardware database? | 11:58 |
| KillerOrca | BigRed: well that's eliminated at least | 11:58 |
| generic | hi all when ever i reboot my ubuntu 8.04 machine my resolv.conf files removes and i have to create it every time | 11:58 |

| maaike | hi everyone! Can someone help me? I upgraded from Gutsy Gibbon to Hardy Heron a couple of days ago but I am encountering some problems... For example: I can't update anymore | 12:02 |
| DistroJockey | wzt: best to just ask a question or provide an answer here :) | 12:02 |
| wzt | oh i know | 12:03 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: are three packages being held back? | 12:03 |
| DistroJockey | wzt: but, welcome :) | 12:03 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: how do you find egroupware to customise? | 12:03 |
| wzt | thank you | 12:03 |
| dpreacher | how do i set a certain user to be able to login to a ubuntu hardy machine running proftpd? | 12:04 |
| maaike | KillerOrca: well, if I just click on 'update', it starts to download packages and then keeps hanging in this downloading phase, I have had it on for days and nothing is happening and it is only supposed to download 4.3MB | 12:04 |
| dpreacher | from command line... | 12:04 |
| RoadHazard | if you write php you'll get along just fine, its really modular | 12:04 |
| dpreacher | what changes to proftpd.conf should be done | 12:04 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: what are the packages that are supposed to be updating? | 12:04 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: if i dont :( ? | 12:04 |
| RoadHazard | dpreacher edit proftpd.conf and jail the users in their home directories | 12:04 |
| BigRed | ok gonna try the cd in this pc to see what happens | 12:05 |
| BigRed | brb | 12:05 |
| dpreacher | RoadHazard . a little more digestable explanation. please | 12:05 |
| RoadHazard | scotto: you cant customize it as much but theres like 30 modules you can mix and match, and a bunch of stuff on sourceforge | 12:05 |
| dpreacher | i need to allow anon login | 12:05 |
| RoadHazard | without any programming experience | 12:05 |
| sCOTTo | ok well i might have to freelance someone to help me :) | 12:05 |
| clusty | hey | 12:06 |
| Nyad | DistroJockey, you said I may run into some grub issues, but will there be a problem if I just reinstall grub? | 12:06 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: thanks heaps for your help d00d :) | 12:06 |
| infoclog | i installed ubuntu on my computer and then on another partition I installed Knoppix on the root parition. | 12:06 |
| RoadHazard | if you reinstall grub it should fix the issues I envisioned | 12:06 |
| maaike | KillerOrca: the packages to be updated are: libgnutls13, openssl-blacklist, these are the most important ones | 12:06 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: quite welcome | 12:06 |

| infoclog | I wanted to bring the knoppix menu also on the grub list. How can I do it? | 12:07 |
| DistroJockey | Nyad: I did? umm, if you had grub and are redoing a non working one, I guess it can't get any worse | 12:07 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: ok we'll try this: open up a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 12:07 |
| Nyad | DistroJockey, tnx, you wrote hyad so I thought it was a typo | 12:08 |
| maaike | KillerOrca: I am trying that right now, I'll let you know when it is finished | 12:08 |

| maaike | KillerOrca: do you know where? | 12:13 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: yes, you'll need to be installing it on a lamp server or have the resources of a lamp server available | 12:13 |
| maaike | KillerOrca: never mind! found it | 12:13 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: so if i upload it to my bigass cPanel account online i can install it there ? | 12:13 |
| maaike | KillerOrca: thanks for all your help by the way :) | 12:13 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: type out the link for the logs please :P | 12:14 |

| justprogramming8 | hello i installed ubuntu in my laptop and i want to remove it and install windows but when i put cd of windows to start formatting massage appeared no hard disk in my laptop | 12:15 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: i can install joomla and most other apps there... soo maybe... | 12:15 |
| KillerOrca | justprogramming8: ok did you overwrite the whole hD? | 12:15 |
| RoadHazard | yes, joomla has much the same requirements | 12:15 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: glad you found it, cause the link I had didn't have that path :P | 12:16 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: so goto synaptic, hit search and put in egroupware | 12:16 |
| maaike | KillerOrca: the only problem is that I am not allowed to open it! even as root! | 12:16 |
| billybongo | what do people like so much about egroupware? | 12:16 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: even with gksudo? | 12:16 |
| billybongo | I find it a bit clunky | 12:16 |
| KillerOrca | maaike: or just sudo? | 12:16 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: i installed it but cant find it now :( | 12:17 |
| RoadHazard | its reliable, unlike exchange | 12:17 |
| billybongo | usable but clunky | 12:17 |
| billybongo | RoadHazard: haven't you tried something like Zimbra? | 12:17 |

| billybongo | zimbra is great | 12:18 |

| BigRed | the cd works fine on another pc | 12:18 |
| rsk | BigRed: tried disabling apci ? | 12:18 |

| rsk | BigRed | 12:22 |
| BigRed | that got me the furthest | 12:22 |
| rsk | ok =) | 12:22 |
| BigRed | it froze up on the splash screen though | 12:22 |
| rsk | hm... | 12:22 |
| BigRed | going to try it again in verbose mode see if its freezing on the same step | 12:22 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: ok - i run an it bus in Syd Australia. I do onsite stuff, setup servers, setup websites, repair problems of all sorts. I need a setup that I can manage my customers in, create custom workflows and specify what servers a customer is using and NOT using... create a workflow tick off list for things to be done on certain job types - and have it email the people involved letting them know as each item is ticked off... thats a start | 12:22 |
| sCOTTo | - i need to manage workflow - i need to be able to work on 20 - 50 websites per week and manage my sub contractors through the program so i can see what going in time and whats not... | 12:22 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: ceal enough :D | 12:22 |
| === pengo_ is now known as pengo | ||
| sCOTTo | clear enough sorry | 12:23 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: ohhh, you might wanna look at ispconfig | 12:23 |
| KillerOrca | justprogramming8: I think google will be your best bet | 12:23 |
| sCOTTo | really? | 12:23 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: sounds like you need something more bespoke, perhaps built on something like zope/plone | 12:23 |
| rsk | BigRed: aparently it's working in gutsy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HPDV8000?highlight=(Dv8000) | 12:23 |
| RoadHazard | ya | 12:23 |
| sCOTTo | ok guys... ur confusing the #$% outta me now :) | 12:23 |
| sCOTTo | \which one? | 12:23 |
| harmzii | BigRed did u find the solution im curious now | 12:23 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: describe what a "workflow" does | 12:24 |
| BigRed | I think im getting closer harmzii | 12:24 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: for what you just said, I believe ispconfig will work, its not in the repos, but it compiles easy enough | 12:24 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: will it run on AMP ? | 12:24 |
| BigRed | ~[ rsk ]~ yeah alot of the people having the issue I am were fine in gutsy | 12:24 |
| KrimZon | justprogramming8: what version of windows, what type of hard disk? | 12:24 |
| RoadHazard | yup | 12:24 |
| BigRed | sorry for the colors | 12:24 |
| KillerOrca | omfg apparently just pgup pgdn work | 12:24 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: lamp I know it works, wamp, dunno | 12:24 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: what you're describing doesn't sound like anything that egroupware does | 12:24 |
| RoadHazard | billybongo: I was mistaken about his needs | 12:25 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: just a step by step of what is going to happen from teh FIRST call into my company to the end result... | 12:25 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: whats the difference between wamp and lamp? | 12:25 |
| comodo | can somone help me with a totem problem | 12:25 |
| RoadHazard | winders and linux | 12:25 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: then i will un install it :) | 12:25 |
| * sCOTTo uses LINUX ONLY. | 12:25 | |
| jatt | GNU/Linux | 12:26 |
| * sCOTTo hates windows :) | 12:26 | |
| comodo | i have the youtube plugin installed for totem but when i try to play a youtube video it says you do not have the right codecs | 12:26 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: so we're talking about management of people and resources to fit in with a predifined plan? | 12:26 |
| RoadHazard | sCOTTo: or management of the users sites? | 12:26 |
| billybongo | yes, sCOTTo how much does this actually have to do to other sites? | 12:27 |
| KillerOrca | comodo: someone had that problem earlier, have you searced the forums? | 12:27 |
| comodo | no | 12:27 |
| comodo | well i read up on totems website | 12:28 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: yeah pretty much... i got WAY too much work to handle, and even if i just have me i still need to manage my work better... but i need to have dev people log in to the thing to check what work they have to do, tick off work they have done and have the program EMAIL my / clients to let us know work is complete :) | 12:28 |
| sCOTTo | no it doesnt REALLY have to have anything to do with any other sites... just sit in the backend of mine :) | 12:28 |
| RoadHazard | task management and communications in egroupware, and site management in ispconfig | 12:28 |
| KillerOrca | comodo: this maybe http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/04/play-youtube-videos-from-the-totem-movie-player/ | 12:28 |

| gestahlt | Hi | 12:30 |
| gestahlt | Can someone help me setting up pxe boot ssh-servers? | 12:30 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: i try not to because im so stupid (without my ADHD pills) but im willing to have a go and work on something if it has directions - i also have a guy who is keen tolearn how to make something like this work and maybe even write plugins for joomla sites :) | 12:30 |
| gestahlt | The systems works fine booting from pxe | 12:30 |
| gestahlt | and from NFS | 12:30 |
| gestahlt | but i cant get ssh-server installed | 12:30 |
| gestahlt | release is hardy | 12:31 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: so you are trying to ssh to your ubuntu box | 12:31 |
| gestahlt | and on pxe / nfs as well | 12:31 |
| gestahlt | no, i try to ssh the remote systems | 12:31 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: Zope is very workflow oriented | 12:31 |
| jrib | gestahlt: the package is openssh-server, don't know anything about pxe though | 12:31 |
| sCOTTo | what IS zope... sounds like dope :) | 12:31 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: so you are trying to ssh from ubuntu elsewhere? | 12:31 |
| sCOTTo | LOL | 12:31 |
| gestahlt | I tried to install it with aptitude / apt-get.. it seems to install, but it doesnt work | 12:31 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: you could feasibly write a "job" or "customer" object and then change it's state to reflect what happens | 12:31 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: | 12:31 |
| gestahlt | killerorca: yes | 12:31 |
| billybongo | zope is an application server based on python | 12:31 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: sounds a bit out of my depth | 12:31 |
| gestahlt | KillerOrca: I remoteboot the other systems from my main install | 12:32 |
| RoadHazard | gestahlt nmap the ip address of the ssh server and see if 22 is open? | 12:32 |
| gestahlt | KillerOrca: Which works fine | 12:32 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: does it setup on apache/mysql? | 12:32 |
| gestahlt | Roadhazard: 22 isnt open. And neither is SSH running | 12:32 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: no it lives on its own space, a bit like a jvm | 12:32 |
| gaokai | how to support UNICODE? | 12:32 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: alright well is it just that ssh isn't installed on ubuntu or on the other systems? | 12:32 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: there is an erp framework for it called ERP5 | 12:32 |
| RoadHazard | gestahlt: got physical access to the servers? | 12:32 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: its a bit hard because i needit to sit in the backend of my website... | 12:33 |
| gestahlt | Roadhazard: I dont know what i do wrong. I installed openssh-server chrooted in my pxe boot dir | 12:33 |
| MrMist | I've got a big big problem.. some of the buttons on my "numeric keypad" restarts X completely, like the "1 (/ end)"-key. How do I remap these keys?? | 12:33 |

| Nazrax | My Hardy Alternate install keeps stopping at 6% during "Select and install packages" - anyone have any idea why? | 12:33 |
| Sarah | can i import fonts from windows and use them in linux? i have a bunch that came with ms office, some i like to use like latha and some others i cant remember the names of | 12:33 |
| RoadHazard | if 22 aint open the thing aint running | 12:33 |
| jrib | !fonts > Sarah (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:33 |
| sCOTTo | billybongo: may i pm you ? my eyes are getting sore in here :( | 12:33 |
| Sarah | ok thanks jrib | 12:34 |
| billybongo | sCOTTo: no worries | 12:34 |
| KillerOrca | jrib: you seem to know the irc, how would I read a pm? | 12:34 |
| gestahlt | Roadhazrad: That is exactly my problem. SSH Server wont run | 12:34 |
| gestahlt | Roadhazard: i have no idea why | 12:34 |
| Riot777 | does anybody know a command for "system log viewer" from the gnome menu ? | 12:34 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: it just doesn't run on ubuntu? | 12:35 |
| gestahlt | roadhazard: It works fine on the server, but it doesnt work in the Pxe boot enviroment (on the clients which i want to control via ssh) | 12:35 |
| jrib | KillerOrca: in irssi? alt-# where # is the number of the buffer (or letter if you get that high) | 12:35 |
| gestahlt | killerorca: nope, it doesnt run on debian etch either | 12:35 |
| thesaint4444 | hi guys, does anyone use capistrano? for some reason I am having problems connecting to my remote host via ssh.... | 12:35 |
| RoadHazard | gestahlt: firewall? | 12:36 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: ohh your keys might be blacklisted | 12:36 |
| RoadHazard | nah, 22 would still nmap with bad keys | 12:36 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: have you done a package upgrade? | 12:36 |
| gestahlt | killerorca: Yes, i did | 12:37 |
| Wessman | find NCIS | 12:37 |
| RoadHazard | any mono users? I cant make it work | 12:38 |
| KillerOrca | gestahlt: so when you use top ssh isn't in the list on any of the machines? | 12:39 |
| BigRed | got it to boot using noacpi and the other "no" option below that | 12:39 |
| KebabBob | Is it possible to have both firefox2 and 3 installed? (Or: How do I downgrade to firefox2?) | 12:39 |
| BigRed | what is acpi and do I need it for my laptop to run at a decent speed? | 12:39 |
| jrib | KebabBob: yes, they are both packaged | 12:40 |
| DracoZA | How can I give myself full system access without constantly having to issue passwords for synaptic, gnome etc ? | 12:40 |
| RoadHazard | speed? not really, battery efficiency, I'd recommend it | 12:40 |
| harmzii | advanced configuration and power interface | 12:40 |
| harmzii | cpu scaling and the like | 12:40 |
| KebabBob | jrib: Won't I get conflicts having both? Config files and such? | 12:40 |
| RoadHazard | DracoZA: probably wouldnt wanna do that | 12:40 |
| BigRed | oh sweet | 12:40 |
| BigRed | its a desktop replacement laptop | 12:40 |
| BigRed | it never gets used without ac power ever | 12:40 |
| DracoZA | RoadHazard, I do, trust me :) | 12:41 |
| soundray | vega--: was away for a while -- have you found a solution? | 12:41 |
| jrib | DracoZA: why are you always entering passwords? what is it that you are doing so often that requires superuser privileges? | 12:41 |
| KillerOrca | DracoZA: you could do sudo su, but it is not advised | 12:41 |
| soundray | KillerOrca: sudo -i (sane environment) | 12:41 |
| jrib | KebabBob: not that I know of. You can always create separate profiles if you want to be sure | 12:41 |
| DracoZA | jrib, one huge pain is constantly having to run gksudo nautilus because gnome wont let me modify files/folders that have been copied to my machine | 12:42 |
| jrib | DracoZA: what files exactly? Why are you copying them as root? | 12:42 |
| DracoZA | jrib, being copied to me via the network | 12:43 |
| jrib | DracoZA: surely there is a way to copy them as your user | 12:43 |

| maaike | Hi everyone, I was just here and KillerOrca was kind enough to help me, but I have a few other problems :(. I updated to Hardy Heron a couple of days ago, and when I now try to open the update manager or the synaptic package manager, it doesn't ask me to provide the root password but just doesn't let me open these programs anymore, is there a solution to this? I do not want to log in as root all the time | 12:45 |
| jrib | DracoZA: how are you accessing the other files on the network? | 12:45 |
| gestahlt | AH | 12:45 |
| gestahlt | I tried to reinstall the open ssh server | 12:45 |
| gestahlt | i get this: invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed. | 12:45 |
| DracoZA | jrib, the files are being copied to my machine by other users | 12:45 |

| anirudh0 | maaike: its possible to use visudo to allow superuser proviledges without needing a password | 12:47 |
| anirudh0 | maaike: for you particular username _only_ | 12:47 |
| Pici | maaike: Does it giev you an error? | 12:48 |
| RoadHazard | can you add yourself to the root group? | 12:48 |
| mdh76 | maaike, does normal console sudo whinge about hostnames? | 12:48 |
| maaike | Pici: no, no error, nothing opens and that's it | 12:48 |
| jrib | DracoZA: the real solution is to setup permissions properly. Editing things as root all the time doesn't really make sense | 12:48 |
| anirudh0 | maaike: but I would'nt recommend it unless you are the only user on your system | 12:48 |

| DracoZA | jrib, agreed I will have to look that up | 12:49 |
| KillerOrca | Nazrax: maybe a broken cd? | 12:49 |
| anirudh0 | maaike: run update-manager or "sudo synaptic" from the terminal | 12:49 |
| soundray | maaike: don't use visudo yet please -- see if configuring PolicyKit fixes your problem | 12:49 |
| Nazrax | I've used the CD's selfcheck, it says it's fine | 12:49 |
| anirudh0 | maiike: so that you know what the error is about | 12:49 |
| soundray | anirudh0: please recommend gksudo for graphical programs | 12:49 |

| RoadHazard | bouma and which one would that be? | 12:52 |
| maaike | soundray: maybe 'Manage System Configuration' | 12:52 |
| rascal999 | RoadHazard: its /home/<user> | 12:52 |

| KillerOrca | Nazrax: I know my install took forever, but that was on oldware | 12:52 |
| anirudh0 | maiike: it might not be a permissions issue at all... | 12:52 |
| MeRodent | bouma; check lexmark as dell tend to repackage them. | 12:52 |
| bouma | RoadHazard: not completely sure, but im running ubuntu, lsusb ? | 12:52 |
| soundray | maaike: before you pursue this, could you tell me what a simple 'sudo ls' gives you in a terminal? | 12:52 |
| sCOTTo | RoadHazard: i looked at ispconfig - nah id stick to cPanel... it feels better :) | 12:52 |
| KillerOrca | Nazrax: did you try that wubi installer? | 12:52 |
| Nazrax | KillerOrca: Setup actually dies; the screen turns red and it tells me that it failed during the "Select and install packages" step. | 12:53 |

| gestahlt | when i try to install openssh i get following error (in a chroot enviroment) invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "stop" failed. | 12:53 |
| RoadHazard | should | 12:53 |

| bouma | MeRodent: should i just google that string from lsusb ? | 12:53 |
| KillerOrca | Nazrax: what do you have? | 12:54 |
| soundray | maaike: it would be better to get to the default Ubuntu behaviour if you can achieve this | 12:54 |
| maaike | soundray: sudo ls gives me a big list of files | 12:54 |
| bouma | MeRodent: will that give me scanning too, or should i follow some other keywords, (? sane) | 12:54 |
| soundray | maaike: good | 12:54 |
| MeRodent | bouma, that looks like something other than the printer. | 12:54 |
| maaike | soundray: and some directories | 12:54 |
| soundray | maaike: when you launch 'gksudo synaptic' from there, does that work? | 12:54 |

| Nazrax | KillerOrca: Physically, it's a newer Dell. Right now, it has Gutsy with the root in one partition and home in LVM (done after the original install). I know I could upgrade, but this machine has already been upgraded a couple of times, and I really want a fresh start. | 12:55 |
| soundray | maaike: okay, I think that clarifies it -- it's PolicyKit preventing you from using it through the menus. | 12:55 |
| maaike | soundray: okay, how do I fix that? | 12:56 |
| soundray | maaike: through the Authorizations dialog that you already opened | 12:56 |
| bouma | RoadHazard: i want to scan a page and email it to my supervisor, so im thinking of rebooting to xp | 12:56 |

| xodiak | okay | 12:59 |
| zhyagao | anybody can help me please ? | 12:59 |
| soundray | maaike: oh, nothing to fix then... | 12:59 |
| maaike | soundray: so I can't do anything to fix my problem? I always have to open it from the command line? | 13:00 |
| xodiak | KillerOrca: I probably should not run this while the Update Manager is running correct? | 13:00 |
| DracoZA | correct xodiak | 13:00 |
| anirudh0 | maaike: the visudo method does'nt need to be used from the command line | 13:00 |
| soundray | maaike: no, you can certainly do what you were going to do, adding yourself explicitly in Manage System Configuration | 13:01 |
| KillerOrca | xodiak: yeah | 13:01 |
| maaike | soundray: thanks for all your help, I'll do that then. Thanks!! | 13:01 |
| xodiak | Is there a way to Force a Quit similar to "End Process" in windows task manager? So I don't have to restart | 13:01 |

| JonathanElli1 | I have a networking problem. I set my computer running Ubuntu 8.04 to have a fixed IP address 192.168.1.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Now when I try to ping 192.168.1.1 (my router), I get the error "Network is unreachable". This also happens when I try the same thing on Ubuntu 7.10. Any ideas please? | 13:03 |
| soundray | anirudh0: what's vague? | 13:03 |
| anirudh0 | zhyaao: describe in more detail please | 13:03 |
| Millow | Can anyone help me with this Cannot allocate memory - fork(2) problem I'm getting? | 13:03 |
| anirudh0 | soundray: the name i mean...i thought it was an anime character | 13:03 |
| KillerOrca | xodiak: umm terminal then top to see the process # | 13:03 |
| KillerOrca | xodiak: then sudo kill that # | 13:04 |
| soundray | anirudh0: if you're logging on from .nl under a nick of maaike, you're either female or posing as one | 13:04 |
| xodiak | KillerOrca:Is that PID? | 13:04 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: Is the router set up properly? Does it recognise the 192.168.1.* net properly? | 13:04 |
| KillerOrca | xodiak: yes | 13:04 |
| tesseract | yeah I antecedently typed it here. Sorry fellas | 13:04 |
| pere_ | Hi I need urgent help!! I have just upgrade ubuntu and now I can't record audio with audacity it sads that "check audio device" and from the panel is going, and is also very slow to do any thing! | 13:04 |
| xodiak | KillerOrca: PID is 5821 | 13:05 |
| zhyagao | the situation is. when i worked with my picasa, suddenly all my keyboard stopped working. then i restart, finding that keyboard still didn't work. but when i switch into another user id, it is ok. | 13:05 |
| pere_ | is basic for me! | 13:05 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: normally, per default, they use 192.168.0.* Maybe that's the Problem? | 13:05 |
| anirudh0 | soundray: thnx for the info..will remember in the future...if you are logging as *anirudh* from .in, you are either a male or posing as one :) | 13:05 |
| zhyagao | seems i did no change to my bashrc or else. i just dont know what's the matter with it | 13:05 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: Yes. The router is set as 192.168.1.1 with net mask 255.255.255.0 | 13:05 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: does you keyboard work properly until the gdm stage? | 13:05 |
| soundray | anirudh0: :) | 13:05 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: hrm... | 13:06 |
| zhyagao | yep. it works fine in GDM, or just another user id environment | 13:06 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: And it works fine if the computer gets its address via DHCP. I think this is an Ubuntu problem not a router problem. Windows machines connect fine with | 13:06 |
| zhyagao | that's what i'm doing now | 13:06 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: with a fixed ip address | 13:06 |
| KillerOrca | xodiak: it is 5 am here, I need to sleep, good luck | 13:06 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: My Ubuntu also connects fine with fixed adsress | 13:06 |
| xodiak | Used the "Kill" don't know I knew that but it worked | 13:06 |
| xodiak | Thanks man!!!! | 13:07 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: I have experienced this problem with my other computer trying to connect to totally different hardware | 13:07 |
| RoadHazard | god love an OS with a command like kill | 13:07 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: The problem could be, that you mybe somehow take anothers computer IP? | 13:07 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: if its a bashrc thing...you can just delete the file..it falls back to /etc | 13:07 |
| pere_ | Hi I need urgent help!! I have just upgrade ubuntu and now I can't record audio with audacity it sads that "check audio device" and from the panel is going, and is also very slow to do any thing! some answer? | 13:07 |
| anirudh0 | pere_:: check sudo alsamixer | 13:08 |
| anirudh0 | pere_:make sure "Capture" is not muted | 13:08 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: Ill take a look at my config... | 13:08 |
| pere_ | merci, in terminal window ok? | 13:08 |
| RoadHazard | is there new sound daemon in hardy? | 13:08 |
| anirudh0 | pere_: yes | 13:08 |
| jrib | RoadHazard: pulse audio | 13:08 |
| RoadHazard | then he'll need to tell audacity about that | 13:09 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: You use wired connection, don't you? | 13:09 |
| Anton1234 | pere_: Try also this: From audacity menu select: | 13:09 |
| mad_max02 | I have downloaded kubuntu-8.04-dvd-amd64.iso. Is there both KDE 3 and KDE 4 on that dvd and how can I choose to install KDE4 only ??? | 13:09 |
| Anton1234 | Edit -> preferences -> Audio I/O -> Device Try to change it. | 13:10 |
| anirudh0 | pere_:also make sure the pulseaudio daemon is running...to do this do "ps -A|grep pulse" ...and check that the output is not null | 13:10 |
| zhyagao | the problem is that i did not change my .bashrc file at all...it's just i downloaded some pictures from picasa, waiting patiently, and soon the keyboard stopped | 13:10 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: Nope. The only other computer on the subnet (this one I am typing on) has address 192.168.1.6. The DHCP pool begins at 192.168.1.3 and there are no entries in the router DHCP pool for 192.168.1.2. Usually I would expect a different error message for the problems you mention. "Network unreachable" usually means no route or no default gateway to connect to a machine on a different subnet. I am trying to connect to the same subnet. Yes it is a | 13:10 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: what is you locale | 13:10 |
| zhyagao | en.US-utf8 | 13:10 |
| pere_ | yes I try it all, but nothing, I am on Alsa now but I don't really understand it... | 13:10 |
| pere_ | seems ok.. | 13:11 |
| Anton1234 | Tried to change the device as I told you? | 13:11 |
| Anton1234 | It worked for me. | 13:11 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: the only explanation is that picasa changed something in you home folder(since thats the only place it could have had permissions) | 13:11 |
| BigRed | ok in order to install ubuntu on my laptop I had to disable APIC....what are the downsides to this? | 13:11 |
| pere_ | yes I try them all I have 3 alsa ways | 13:12 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: so its a __last__ resort...but deleting the whole home folder must work | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | mad_max02, kde4 is very much a work in progress. and lacking a lot of features. I suggest installng kde3, then installing kde4 to test out kde4 | 13:12 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: Maybe you can try to take an IP Address from the DHCP pool, but a much higher address. For example 192.168.1.100. Just for test if it'll work | 13:12 |
| soundray | BigRed: there are no noticable downsides that I've had as a long term user of noapic | 13:12 |
| Anton1234 | pere_: Then I don't know how to help you without being in fron of your computer. | 13:12 |
| anirudh0 | mad_max02: or install kubuntu-kde4-desktop...it has a sane mix of kde3 and kde4 packages | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | BigRed, you sure its noapic, not noapci ? | 13:13 |
| RoadHazard | its noapic and acpi=off | 13:13 |
| soundray | BigRed: some drivers may operate more slowly as they have to fallback to polling | 13:13 |
| anirudh0 | pere_:: if you can...take a screenshot of the output of "sudo alsamixer" and post it somewhere we can see | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | apci=off is the same as noapci i belive. | 13:13 |
| soundray | Dr_willis: there is no noapci, and not noacpi, only noapic | 13:13 |
| pere_ | ok! | 13:13 |
| soundray | Dr_willis: no | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | soundray, if you say so. I reall needeing them ages ago. havent had to mess with them in ages.. seems odd way for them to name optuons | 13:14 |
| RoadHazard | I believe they did that to prevent dyslexic mistakes | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | RoadHazard, i recall them being there but i am gettting old and senile. :) and this was 3+ yrs ago. | 13:14 |
| anirudh0 | is it possible to wake the computer up from hibernate after some prespecified delay? | 13:15 |
| pere_ | I have it how can I show it? | 13:15 |
| anirudh0 | pere_:: post the link!! | 13:15 |
| soundray | Dr_willis: well, APICs were invented before ACPI as far as I know, so blame Microsoft and consorts for creating confusion | 13:15 |
| pere_ | I don't get it Where I up load it? | 13:15 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: Well thats weird! I changed the address to something high in the pool and it worked. Then I changed it back to 192.168.1.2 and it still works | 13:16 |
| RoadHazard | try like imageshack or something | 13:16 |
| anirudh0 | pere__: yup..imageshack or imagevenue or flickr | 13:17 |
| zhyagao | just migrating all my previous home folder to a new id's home folder, u mean ? | 13:17 |
| zhyagao | anirudh0: i'm not quite sure what i can do now. but when i try to get sudo i get the msg " is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." | 13:17 |
| pere_ | file:///home/pere/Escriptori/Screenshot.png | 13:17 |
| zhyagao | anirudh0: what should i do to recover my sudo? | 13:17 |
| pere_ | ok! | 13:17 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: Maybe the router just don't want to accept anything from outside the DHCP range? Mine Netgear also didn't. | 13:17 |
| kevin_ | anyone around her who can help me with applets for awn manager? | 13:18 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: this is bad...you are in failsafe terminal? | 13:18 |
| anirudh0 | kevin_: which particular applet.. | 13:18 |
| zhyagao | anirudh0: no. i'm just use another user id to go into the X window | 13:18 |
| RoadHazard | zhyagao: tried a grub recovery boot? | 13:18 |
| zhyagao | RoadHazard: grub recovery boot to do what ? | 13:19 |
| RoadHazard | zhyagao: and visudo? | 13:19 |
| anirudh0 | zhyagao: yes..as RoadHazard said..grub recovery boot will make you root | 13:19 |
| kevin_ | well i installed awn manager (+other needed things) but i cant find any awn applet packages on internet and dont know how to install apllets in it -.- | 13:19 |
| kevin_ | just started working with ubuntu :D | 13:19 |
| zhyagao | anirudh0: ok, i try it now. and get u back soon | 13:19 |
| anirudh0 | kevin_: check out the awn homepage...they have debian packages for awn themes and awn-applets | 13:19 |
| pere_ | here it is http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrd5.png][IMG]http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/9387/screenshotrd5.th.png[/IMG][/URL] | 13:19 |
| kevin_ | oke thx | 13:20 |
| simplexio | ~/last pere | 13:20 |
| kevin_ | but is there a easy way to put shortcuts to inet and other things in the applet bar | 13:20 |
| kevin_ | without downloading > | 13:20 |
| Blinny | Currently using i386 8.04 - Could I boot to an amd64 alternate CD and choose 'Upgrade', and have the installer figure out which packages I have and upgrade them all from i386 to amd64? | 13:20 |
| soundray | Blinny: no | 13:21 |
| JonathanElli1 | madyogi: No I dont think thats it because the pool was set from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.22 and when I changed the machine address to 192.168.1.100 it worked first thing. Then when I changed the machine back to 192.168.1.2 the first line of the ping said "From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination host unreachable" but then the next line of the ping worked fine. Now every time I ping it works first thing. Its a weird bug! | 13:21 |
| Le2 | hi, if I run a command with su, how can I specify to the program I launch it's working directory? | 13:21 |
| jrib | Blinny: no, you need to reinstall to change architecture | 13:21 |
| Blinny | Damn. | 13:21 |
| vy | Hi! I disabled PasswordAuthentication and just allowed entrance via public key authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. When I try to connect to the related machine via ssh, /var/log/auth.log tells that: «Accepted publickey for ...\npam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user ...\nerror: PAM: pam_open_session(): Permission denied.» Any ideas? | 13:21 |
| Blinny | Reinstall == formatting all partitions? | 13:21 |
| anirudh0 | pere_: it seems several things are muted...you can unmute them by going to each and pressing the 'm' key | 13:21 |
| soundray | Le2: are you using su to run programs as root? | 13:21 |
| xodiak | exit | 13:22 |
| pere_ | ok I try! | 13:22 |
| Le2 | soundray: no, i'm actually doing the opposite- running a program in rc.local to make it run as not-root | 13:22 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: Really Weird | 13:22 |
| jrib | Blinny: reinstall == reinstalling ubuntu. So whatever partitions it installs packages to will be wiped. (not /home for example if that is on its own partition) | 13:22 |
| soundray | Le2: use 'su - username'. This should set the home directory to /home/username | 13:23 |
| Blinny | jrib: Okay. Thank you. | 13:23 |
| Le2 | soundray: at the moment i've got su scast -c /home/scast/sc_serv/sc_serv &> /dev/null &, so I'd use su - scast -c /blah ? | 13:23 |
| laeg | is there anyway to create a folder in /media so i can mount disk images there? it seems like the most logical place | 13:23 |
| jrib | laeg: sudo mkdir /media/whatever-you-want | 13:24 |
| Swordbeta | Vlet, it's meh again :P | 13:24 |
| laeg | jrib: ty | 13:24 |
| soundray | Le2: I think so. Try it out from a root shell (sudo -i) to be sure | 13:24 |
| soundray | Le2: oh, not quite, sorry | 13:24 |
| Le2 | soundray: huh? | 13:25 |
| sharkp | Hi | 13:25 |
| sharkp | I've a problem with the sound system | 13:25 |
| pere_ | does not work.. here what I get http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/8607/screenshot1ij9.png | 13:25 |
| Le2 | soundray: what could I use to test this? shoutcast is already running and in use so I can't kill it to try this | 13:25 |
| kevin_ | anirudh0 | 13:25 |
| soundray | Le2: man su has the answer. You need to specify - as the last option. Alternatively, use su -l -c 'command' | 13:25 |
| sharkp | it's very low...I use the integrated sound by realtek | 13:25 |
| kevin_ | do you maybe have alink for me ? | 13:25 |
| Le2 | soundray: ah ok, thanks | 13:25 |
| soundray | Le2: su -l -c 'echo $HOME' username | 13:26 |
| soundray | Le2: this should echo /home/username | 13:26 |
| Le2 | ok | 13:26 |
| Le2 | is there any way to make it use a directory other than just the home dir? | 13:27 |
| bazhang | kevin_, link for what | 13:27 |
| madyogi | JonathanElli1: I can not add anything to it :-( Sorry... | 13:27 |
| anirudh0 | kevin_: http://wiki.awn-project.org/DistributionGuides | 13:27 |
| soundray | Le2: oh, I misread... you said working directory... | 13:27 |
| Le2 | soundray: hehe, unless I made the command cd sc_serv && sc_serv ? | 13:28 |
| soundray | Le2: su -l -c 'cd /some/dir && command' | 13:28 |
| soundray | Le2: indeed | 13:28 |

| Steve-cal | Question about Grub: if I have two linux distro's installed on my HD (one Ubuntu), and each have Grub installed, how can I change which Grub will be loaded at boot time? | 13:57 |
| RoadHazard | Steve-cal: have it install to the master boot record at install time | 13:57 |
| BWGames | my gnome taskbar and menu've disappeared.. cant get them back at all..only way to get anything decent working is failsafe terminal, then start stuff from there.. any ideas? | 13:58 |
| scunizi | Steve-cal, Grub creates a menu for you to choose which opsys you want to load | 13:58 |
| Steve-cal | RoadHazard: Yes, that's actually the problem. I didn't mean to install Grub on my second distro install, and now the second distro handles boot up--i want Ubuntu to retain the boot up. | 13:59 |
| gogeta | hey guys can virtulbox run off a real partation like vmware | 13:59 |
| scunizi | Steve-cal, do you actually want Ubuntu as the first option in the list? | 14:00 |
| pteague | i've always installed multi-boots in reverse order that i want to have control | 14:00 |
| Steve-cal | scunizi: No, I just want Ubuntu's Grub to control boot-up, not the other distro. | 14:00 |
| scunizi | Steve-cal, you can use Ubuntu's live cd to reinstall grub | 14:01 |
| RoadHazard | Steve-cal: sudo grub --install (hdx) where x is where you want it | 14:01 |
| pteague | although with multiple linux distros you could mount the /boot & modify the grub boot list | 14:01 |
| DaveTarmac | not REALLY ubuntu related, but can I use rsync over SSH to backup FROM a remote site? everything I find online is for backing up TO a remote server? | 14:01 |
| pteague | DaveTarmac: yes... however the source or target has to be the machine you're running rsync on | 14:02 |
| RoadHazard | DaveTarmac: if you have rsync on both machines you can go both ways | 14:02 |
| DaveTarmac | rsync is on both machines. I tried running it and I get link_stat ... No such file or directory errors | 14:03 |
| Steve-cal | RoadHazard: That seems like a bit of a workaround--I don't want to reinstall Grub in Ubuntu to gain back the MBR. Isn't there a way in the grub shell to change it, such as the "root /dev/hdaX" commmand or something? | 14:03 |

| Steve-cal | RoadHazard: Thanks, I think it would actually be easy for me to add my second distro to my Ubuntu's menu.lst--I've done something like that before. Do you know anything about that "root /dev/hdaX" command in Grub? Is that what I'm looking for? | 14:06 |

| anirudh0 | Itaku; that means the .desktop file corresponding to the software has an error in its syntax...these files are generally in /usr/share/applications/ | 14:43 |
| Abd67 | I'm trying to use Software source and nothing shows up. In the auth log I get this msg http://paste.ubuntu.com/14090/ | 14:43 |
| magnetron | bullium: the page you pasted to me says that your python module can be found at http://effbot.org/efflib/console . that site doesn't exist anymore. | 14:44 |
| magnus_ | sarthor: 'locate gyachi' maybe | 14:44 |
| harfg | genii, tnx looks like that might be all that sorts it | 14:44 |
| yacc | Hmm, any way to capture the server public key somehow with openssl *scratchhead* | 14:44 |
| anirudh0 | bulium: i'm not sure there is a package for that | 14:44 |

| PPSD | got the following problem: i need to pipe all traffic to a certain host xxx.yyy.zzz through an SSH tunnel. so i entered "127.0.0.1 xxx.yyy.zzz" into /etc/hosts. for "ping" the host is resolved, but for some other programs it is not (as can be seen using netstat). what could be the problem? | 14:45 |

| sarthor | magnus_, i found a lot of files.. how to delete now?? | 14:46 |
| anirudh0 | PPSD: you are trying to forward ports? | 14:46 |
| magnetron | PPSD: you should not add such a thing to your hosts. instead of being routed through the ssh proxy, you are just trying to connect to yourself | 14:46 |
| mohamed_ | Wires: CTRL+T this give you new Tab then type /server yourserver | 14:46 |

| Speedy | is it possible to stop wobble windows in compiz-fusion from snapping to the edge of the screen? | 14:48 |
| PPSD | magnetron: all traffic to a certain port of xxx.yyy.zzz needs to be tunneled through ssh, access to any other ports (to that host) can be rejected as well | 14:48 |
| PPSD | magnetron: actually access to any other ports than the tunneld one wont happen | 14:48 |
| scunizi | Speedy, yes.. use ccsm for adjustments on most compiz issues | 14:48 |
| Speedy | scunizi, i've been looking for a while and haven't been able to find an option to disable | 14:49 |
| Speedy | been looking in the ccsm | 14:49 |
| Wires | thanks mohamed | 14:49 |
| smmagic | Hi, If I have vista and XP installed on separate drives. is there a way to install ubuntu | 14:49 |
| scunizi | Speedy, do you have the simple version of ccsm installed or the standard.. (I'll look now to) | 14:49 |
| magnetron | PPSD: you need to look up "ssh local tunnels" | 14:50 |
| Speedy | i believe it to be the standard verson | 14:50 |
| Wires | bah | 14:50 |
| Speedy | whatever the default is that comes out of the package manager | 14:50 |

| scunizi | raga1, did you type the wrong nick for that admonition? | 14:53 |

| magnetron | PPSD: you are completely misunderstanding me | 14:54 |
| PPSD | magnetron: xxx.yyy.zzz is no the ssh target but the final host | 14:54 |

| anirudh0 | anuj4ubuntu: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 14:57 |
| magnetron | PPSD: when you create the tunnel, it will exist on a port on your local machine! like 127.0.0.1:7070 for example. all connections to this port will go through the tunnel. in your client ( web browser? ftp client?) you will then enter 127.0.0.1 as the target host! | 14:57 |
| PPSD | the actual problem is: a forgein application i have no influence on resolves A to its original IP so its not tunneld | 14:57 |
| Ch1gg1n5 | well, when I was using the commands given to me by VLC and what not, I couldn't get the packages because it was said that they werne found | 14:58 |

| bal | hi guys | 15:00 |
| Wires | ah k, thanks :) | 15:00 |
| magnetron | PPSD: you COULD do it by adding an iptables rule. but it's not that easy | 15:00 |
| PPSD | magnetron: sounds complicated yea ;-) | 15:00 |
| britt | ramontayag: free -m does free in amount of megabytes | 15:00 |
| HymnToLife | PPSD: I think I still don't get it, whare are you going to do with that server ? | 15:00 |
| HymnToLife | what* | 15:00 |
| anujtom | thnx grib | 15:00 |
| anirudh0 | PPSD: the command i posted earlier can allow you to use the proxy server "myfamousproxy" that ia accessible from "myintermediatehost" | 15:01 |
| britt | ramontayag: free by itself does free memory by kilobytes | 15:01 |
| res22 | ramontayag: try top | 15:01 |
| PPSD | HymnToLife: the license server of our software only accepts university computers, but i am at home here | 15:01 |
| anujtom | sorry jrab | 15:01 |
| anujtom | thnx bro | 15:01 |
| HymnToLife | PPSD: yeah, got that, but define "accept" ? | 15:01 |
| bilbao | #ubuntu-ro | 15:01 |
| anirudh0 | PPSD: so if "myyintermediatehost" is a lab comp which accesses the license server via "myfamousproxy" | 15:01 |
| magnetron | PPSD: iptables rules are what you are looking for | 15:01 |
| PuMa356 | many programs desn't run proberly in Wine | 15:01 |

| ramontayag | britt, yes, but ps aux %MEM seem to add up to around 30 only.. but free -m shows I'm using more than that :o res22, i'll try top thanks | 15:02 |
| PPSD | anirudh0: ok i will lookup your command in the log later on, just too much stuff here ;-) | 15:02 |
| HymnToLife | you mean it's just a piece of software that needs to be on a licensed computer to run, right ? | 15:02 |

| bazhang | ragsagar, stop that | 15:04 |

| HymnToLife | add a line like 127.0.0.1 server.domain.com | 15:04 |
| wy | bazhang, I used gparted, but fdisk still reports something like "not on cylinder boundary". Do I just ignore fdisk? | 15:04 |
| ragsagar | bazhang: dont cry ;) | 15:04 |
| PPSD | anirudh0: can't tell the program anything unfortuantely | 15:04 |
| HymnToLife | but you need to know the server the program tries to connect to | 15:04 |
| anirudh0 | PPSD: so that it actually forwards all the data to lab comp..and via that to the lab server | 15:04 |
| HymnToLife | and the port it uses | 15:04 |
| Wires | anyone? | 15:04 |
| anirudh0 | PPSD: hmm..anyway | 15:04 |

| britt | ramontayag: free also includes cache memory too. and most of the memory is allocated as cache memory until needed by programs, hence why the two dont match | 15:07 |

| saint-takeshi | ? | 15:15 |

| scunizi | saint-takeshi, official you mean made by yahoo? I don't know. There are other yahoo clients out there but I haven't used them. | 15:15 |
| wildman | Gr3yW0lf, AFAIK, Ubuntu 32-bit kernels don't have that option enabled, I have the same pb on my dekstop, only a bit more than 3GB is reported | 15:15 |
| Radi1 | test | 15:15 |
| agentia | can any1 send me a cool theme via dcc? | 15:15 |
| saint-takeshi | does the "SMP" in the kernel name stand for "Multiple Simultaneous Processing" ? | 15:15 |

| saint-takeshi | un-idiot that last sentence...i need sleep | 15:16 |

| HymnToLife | Gr3yW0lf: yes, but you need to recompile the kernel if you want to have one with that option enabled | 15:16 |

| CaBlGuY | greetings Jack_Sparrow long time no see.. | 15:21 |
| recon69 | quick question, how do i install iwscan? | 15:21 |
| wildman | I'll shot my Q again: | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | saint-takeshi agreed | 15:21 |
| ragsagar_ | recompiling kernel is easy | 15:21 |
| bal | hi | 15:21 |
| wildman | hello there, I have Ubuntu 8.04LTS on my laptop, in ES, and I want to switch it to EN, what should I do? | 15:21 |
| ragsagar_ | there is a good tutorial in owtoforge | 15:21 |
| ragsagar_ | there is a good guide in howtoforge | 15:21 |
| simplexio | its just make oldconfig. keep hitting enter. them make-kpkg and you have "ubuntu/debian" .deb package which you can install | 15:21 |
| ragsagar_ | and read the readme file inside the vanilla kernel | 15:21 |
| recon69 | wildman: system -> amin -> language support | 15:21 |
| CaBlGuY | anyone at all b4 I go doing a wipe and re-install? | 15:21 |
| simplexio | offcourse after oldconfig you need to make xconfig or just nano .config to add that option you wanted | 15:22 |
| wildman | simplexio, and configuring needed options somewhere along the way too, if you want something different, like 4GB support :) | 15:22 |
| HymnToLife | nano .config is a BAD idea | 15:22 |
| wildman | recon69, thx | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CaBlGuY what was the question | 15:22 |
| HymnToLife | very bad | 15:22 |
| kevin_ | anyone know where I can get broadcom wireless drivers? | 15:22 |
| simplexio | HymnToLife: true | 15:22 |
| HymnToLife | make menuconfig if you don't have X | 15:22 |
| simplexio | but i mean it isnt that hard | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kevin_ they are floating around.. should not be hard | 15:22 |
| ragsagar_ | make xconfig | 15:22 |
| recon69 | anyone know what package iwscan is in? | 15:22 |
| Vlet | Is there a way to install a package while ignoring specific dependencies? | 15:22 |
| HymnToLife | yep, it's really not had | 15:22 |
| saint-takeshi | kevin_: turn on the "Restricted Drivers" | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vlet again, you are asking for trouble trying that | 15:23 |
| CaBlGuY | thanks Jack_Sparrow -- got 8.04 on my laptop and ran fine but last night, I lost my panels after I did a reboot.. | 15:23 |
| Vlet | In other words, install ubuntu-desktop without openoffice, or evolution, etc | 15:23 |
| ragsagar_ | bazhang: HI ;) | 15:23 |
| CaBlGuY | bothj top and bottom.. | 15:23 |
| HymnToLife | it's like anything, when you've done it acouple times, you don't even remeber youused to have trouble | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CaBlGuY Wanna just reset panels | 15:23 |
| kevin_ | did but it just wont conect to any wireless networks ? | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | one sec | 15:23 |
| simplexio | specily if you make it like you should do it in ubuntu, using make-kpkg, nice .deb packages for dpkg -i and it even handles automaticly adding boot entry to grub | 15:23 |
| CaBlGuY | Jack_Sparrow, sure.. whats the command? | 15:23 |
| saint-takeshi | well, it should work | 15:23 |
| saint-takeshi | i'm using one right now | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CaBlGuY To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !panel | 15:24 |

| CaBlGuY | ok, gimme a minute... brb | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CaBlGuY there is even a factoid on it | 15:24 |
| simplexio | ok. have to admit that my last try update to 2.6.25.4 was "failure" because 169.12 nvidia driver didnt want to compile wiht it | 15:24 |
| wildman | recon69, thx, rebooting... | 15:24 |
| wildman | bye ppl | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CaBlGuY I wont be here. good luck. But time for morning coffee on the patio... | 15:24 |

I figured with those specs Ubuntu should run perfectly fine, especially since windows XP did. I did a memtest86 for the past 15 hours, and it passed 9 runs. Can anybody help me? I would greatly appreciate it. | 15:34 |
| mamefan | sounds like I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the difference between "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade" ;-) | 15:34 |
| genii | RoadHazard: dist-upgrade will put a new kernel if one exists but keep you on same version of Ubuntu | 15:34 |
| perpetual | bhagman88, what is slow exactly | 15:35 |
| mamefan | genii: is that the only distinction between upgrade and dist-upgrade? | 15:35 |
| bazhang | mamefan, the second is version upgrade; my apologies | 15:35 |
| genii | mamefan: There may be others but thats the main one | 15:35 |

| Pici | Yggdrasil: Why are you using -386 instead of -generic ? | 15:47 |
| Yggdrasil | I DONT KNOW | 15:47 |
| Pici | Yggdrasil: Okay.. calm down. | 15:47 |
| Yggdrasil | Why is ubuntu decided to use that ? i dont knwo | 15:47 |

| RoadHazard | agemtia: I'm starting to think hardy is having an update issue today | 15:48 |
| Yggdrasil | I personally decided to use 2.6.24 so i can get the new kernel with the headers , but ubuntu has decided to use 2.6.22 . and im here to f ind out why it has decided to do that. | 15:48 |
| agentia | how do i update my system thru the terminal ? im new to ubuntu and i prolly installed an old cd .. update manager in gui hangs .. i figure old dependencies .. so how do i fix all that thru terminal ? | 15:48 |

| RoadHazard | agentia sudo apt-get update | 15:49 |
| emorris | RoadHazard: hi, what else has been happening, my wireless card stopped working after today's updates | 15:49 |
| RoadHazard | emorris: that one is new | 15:49 |
| Yggdrasil | roadhazard i allredy did, it for some reason didnt take. Im trying . The generic now. | 15:49 |
| Yggdrasil | ill cat out the /boot/grub/meu.lst to check it before i reboot. | 15:50 |
| thinkmassive | in evolution 2.22 (default in hardy), why is the "send/receive" button greyed out for imap? | 15:50 |
| Jaikkuli | can someone recommend a good package for mounting cd images such as mds and iso | 15:50 |
| bhagman88 | anybody think they can help me with my computer speed issue? | 15:51 |

| __mork | hi | 15:52 |
| Jaikkuli | anyone know a good cd image mounter? | 15:52 |
| eracc | Daisuke-Laptop, I have no idea why they would not. I need to check before I shell out that kind of money. :) | 15:52 |
| Pici | Jaikkuli: gisomount works | 15:52 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | eracc: can't say that i blame you :) | 15:52 |
| Jaikkuli | Pici: only does iso? | 15:53 |
| Jaikkuli | Pici: i need something for mds for example also | 15:53 |
| sarthor | i am installing gyachi.. applying ./autogen.sh it show me some error.. how to fix this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/14099/ | 15:53 |

| __mork | what's wrong with this routing configuration? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14100/ help pleaze | 15:53 |
| funalien | hello | 15:53 |
| bazhang | Jaikkuli, what kind of image | 15:53 |
| __mork | hi funalien | 15:53 |
| __mork | Jaikkuli: mount is a good iso mounter | 15:54 |
| dbarnett | __mork: are you allowed to have 2 default routes? | 15:54 |
| RoadHazard | that 169.254.0.0 in there gives me a headscratch | 15:54 |
| __mork | dbarnett: it's the *same* route | 15:54 |
| dbarnett | __mork: different interfaces | 15:54 |
| funalien | __mork, How can I see what ubuntu is doing then computer is shuts down? | 15:54 |
| Jaikkuli | bazhang: mds for example | 15:55 |
| funalien | * - is | 15:55 |
| bazhang | Jaikkuli, vlc perhaps | 15:55 |
| RoadHazard | funalien: alt f1 to get rid of the splash | 15:55 |
| Jaikkuli | vlc is for video replay.. what does it have to do with image mounting? | 15:55 |
| Pici | Jaikkuli: There are utilities to convert from different image formats to iso. | 15:55 |
| bal | wine can support of my microst office | 15:55 |
| funalien | RoadHazard, thanks | 15:55 |
| __mork | dbarnett: is it wrong? well this is the route at boot time (i'm not using nm 'cause of static addresses needed) | 15:56 |
| bazhang | Jaikkuli, can also mount iso and other images (not distros though) | 15:56 |
| dbarnett | __mork: I'm not sure, just speculating | 15:56 |
| tompouk | Hi! | 15:56 |
| funalien | + | 15:56 |
| __mork | i even tried to set default route on eth1 metrics 20, no changes | 15:56 |
| funalien | bye | 15:56 |
| RoadHazard | bazhang: is there something wrong with mount -o loop filename.iso /directory? | 15:56 |
| tompouk | I have installed Ubuntu, but it's too slow for my machine. I installed xubuntu-desktop over it. Now running XFCE. Is it possible to uninstall all ubuntu apps and things and keep only xubuntu ones?? | 15:56 |
| dbarnett | can you ping your 192.168.1.1 router? | 15:57 |
| Jaikkuli | bazhang: are you sure? vlc? it can mount cd images like iso? | 15:57 |
| askand | I want to remove libtrackerclient0 but then it says it must remove totem to? Why? | 15:57 |
| __mork | nope | 15:57 |
| bazhang | RoadHazard, not at all; thought he meant live movie image etc | 15:57 |
| bazhang | err like | 15:57 |
| Jaikkuli | live movie image? | 15:57 |
| Jaikkuli | is that what i meant bazhang? | 15:57 |
| bhagman88 | hey, sorry my comp crashed! | 15:57 |
| Jaikkuli | cus i dunno wtf live movie image is | 15:58 |
| RoadHazard | bazhang: you can mount it to a dir and treat it like a mounted dvd movie | 15:58 |
| tompouk | I want some help please. | 15:58 |
| hwilde | !clone | 15:58 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 15:58 |
| eracc | Daisuke-Laptop, I would like to get a two CPU Dual Core Opteron setup but really cannot afford it. My next best option is the Quad Core Phenom. | 15:58 |
| bazhang | RoadHazard, surely you are right | 15:58 |
| bhagman88 | could someone help me figure out whats going on with my computer? | 15:58 |
| __mork | dbarnett: I would like to have wireless or wired interface up and working at startup, depending on Hardware kill switch status and wired (wire connected) status... is it too hard? | 15:58 |
| pro-rsoft | is there some cmd tool around that can convert my "\r\n" to "\n" in a file? | 15:59 |
| RoadHazard | bhagman88: state the nature of your medical emergency | 15:59 |
| askand | Is there any software than can write iptc to pictures in ubuntu? | 15:59 |
| Pici | pro-rsoft: sed? | 15:59 |
| Yggdrasil | roadhazard that workeed, vmware finding the headers now. | 15:59 |
| bhagman88 | RoadHazard: I installed 8.04 hardy on a 1.8 GHZ Pentium M 1011Mb Ram Laptop, and it runs extremley slow | 15:59 |
| eracc | pro-rsoft, I think sed will do that but I am not a sed guru. | 15:59 |
| pro-rsoft | neither am I. | 15:59 |
| RoadHazard | Yggdrasil: *bow* | 15:59 |
| __mork | is there some1 who can investigate on my route table? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14100/ thanks! | 16:00 |
| Yggdrasil | ha | 16:00 |
| bhagman88 | RoadHazard: Before I installed Ubuntu I had XP, and that ran perfectly fine | 16:00 |
| Yggdrasil | hmm. | 16:00 |
| blankhead | if ur isp gives u dynamic ip address could u reset ur modem, get a new ip address and get a new username if u have been banned from a site | 16:00 |
| pro-rsoft | nvm, i found "dos2unix" in the package "tofrodos" | 16:00 |
| tompouk | I have installed Ubuntu, but it's too slow for my machine. I installed xubuntu-desktop over it. Now running XFCE. Is it possible to uninstall all ubuntu apps and things and keep only xubuntu ones?? | 16:00 |
| dbarnett | __mork: I would think it would be possible. I'm not sure what you mean by hardware kill switch. I'm just surprised that you can have a forwarding table with two default entries. It was my understanding that the forwarding table should be a unique lookup. | 16:00 |
| Pici | blankhead: We dont advocate that here. | 16:00 |
| blankhead | my mother uses a pc and my girlfriend uses the same site my mom goes on and my girlfriend got banned from being stupid and now my mom cant access it | 16:00 |
| RoadHazard | bhagman88: this is like the 4th I've heard that story this morning, not sure whats up yet | 16:00 |
| zhyagao | hey guys. i need some help. there's supposed to be "main-menu - system - administration - restricted drivers" button in my ubuntu, but there's none at all. While i have it in another id of the same ubuntu system. what's the problem ? how can i fix it ? | 16:01 |
| blankhead | i tried contacting the site about it but i guess they dont wanna hear it | 16:01 |
| blankhead | idk | 16:01 |
| zhyagao | thanks a lot | 16:01 |
| blankhead | ok pici | 16:01 |
| eracc | blankhead, fire your girlfriend. | 16:01 |
| blankhead | i did | 16:01 |
| blankhead | eracc i did but that doesnt handle the situation u know... | 16:01 |
| blankhead | well i dont know then thanks for ur help | 16:01 |
| zhyagao | hey guys. i need some help. there's supposed to be "main-menu - system - administration - restricted drivers" button in my ubuntu, but there's none at all. While i have it in another id of the same ubuntu system. what's the problem ? how can i fix it ? | 16:02 |
| bhagman88 | RoadHazard: Well this is the 2nd time tdat i've been this room with that issue, so it might have\been me :-P | 16:02 |
| eracc | blankhead, if the site banned your IP block then you are not going to get back on. | 16:02 |
| theresa_ | tried to upgrade, and i guess i'm not allowed to su? | 16:02 |
| zhyagao | it's weird. and besides, a lot of others are not the same | 16:02 |
| __mork | dbarnett: not sure, but suppose i have the system connected by wire and by wireless: i need two default gateway. | 16:02 |
| bhagman88 | It just sucks because i wanted to test ubuntu on this ystem before doing a complete switchover, now that might not happen =/ | 16:02 |
| mohamed_ | eracc: he can't use free proxy for this ? | 16:03 |
| dbarnett | I would think one would have to be favored and the other fallback, unless you're doing some sort of multipath forwarding | 16:03 |
| DevilSShadoW | anyone know how i could copy stuff from my ubuntu to my windowsXP(virtualbox) | 16:03 |
| Pici | !offtopic | eracc blankhead mohamed_ | 16:03 |
| ubottu | eracc blankhead mohamed_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 16:03 |
| blankhead | im also curious, as if i have an isp that changes my ip address every now and then then wouldnt that make it impossible to block someone if ur ip always cahnges? just curious on this technologic terms or whatever... | 16:03 |
| theresa_ | how to i enable my user account to sudo and perform admin tasks when asked the password. | 16:03 |
| eracc | mohamed_, maybe. But this is not the place to discuss it (as you now see). :) | 16:03 |
| RoadHazard | zhyagao: gnome or kde? | 16:03 |
| mohamed_ | ok :) | 16:03 |
| blankhead | maybe this is the wrong chatroom sorry | 16:03 |
| __mork | dbarnett: in this case there is no way to send packets through eth0 (wired), it should use eth1 (especially if its metric is 20 i.e < than eth0's metric). [By killswitch I mean the hardware - physical - wireless switch) | 16:03 |
| zhyagao | roadhazard: gnome | 16:03 |
| zhyagao | RoadHazard: i dont know how to fix it ... | 16:04 |
| blankhead | oh well sorry if i offended just curious i need to understand my computer as well as my internet services | 16:04 |
| blankhead | take care | 16:04 |
| hellride | do i need both adept and synaptic package dlers installed? | 16:04 |
| Pseudomocha | I used a script to automount my windows partition from this page sudo bash diskmounter | 16:04 |
| theresa_ | maybe this is also the wrong room to ask ubuntu questions. | 16:04 |
| RoadHazard | zhyagao: one moment | 16:04 |
| zhyagao | RoadHazard: i'm sure i have the application in my ubuntu, but dont know how to activate it | 16:04 |
| zhyagao | RoadHazard: thanks ! | 16:04 |
| PriceChild | hellride: you don't need anything installed | 16:04 |
| PriceChild | hellride: but yes, both those do the same thing | 16:04 |
| Pseudomocha | i mean this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions and it mounts my partition as read onnly | 16:05 |
| hellride | k so it dosent matter which one i get rid of? | 16:05 |
| Pseudomocha | i want it to mound as read + write | 16:05 |
| tompouk | I have installed Ubuntu, but it's too slow for my machine. I installed xubuntu-desktop over it. Now running XFCE. Is it possible to uninstall all ubuntu apps and things and keep only xubuntu ones?? | 16:05 |
| theresa_ | i tried to use the update manager to get 8.04, and i tried root password, and failed. | 16:06 |
| hellride | is there any transparent instant messanger for kde? | 16:06 |
| Pici | tompouk: Here you go: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 16:06 |
| tompouk | Thanks!! | 16:07 |
| RoadHazard | zhyagao: using hardy? | 16:07 |
| hellride | is there any transparent instant messanger for kde? | 16:07 |
| theresa_ | the only account that works is the one created at system install, not the one i added. | 16:07 |
| bhagman88 | ok i'm going to try the Hackintosh Project. Hopefully someone resolves this speed issue! | 16:07 |
| hellride | can amarok go transparent? | 16:07 |
| zhyagao | RoadHazard: yep. 8.04 | 16:07 |
| Pseudomocha | I used a script from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions to automount my partitions but it automounts them as read only, how can i make them read + write? | 16:08 |
| davidooooo | do you know how to make a custom live cd that goe to another server to install the aplications in the other pc | 16:08 |

| Pici | hellride: Or use Adept. | 16:16 |
| hellride | soundray will that command work for all apps? | 16:16 |
| soundray | hellride: it will work for all packages | 16:16 |
| wesleywillians | genii: any idea?? | 16:16 |
| soundray | hellride: not all package names are the same as the application names | 16:16 |
| hellride | k thanks, adept only showed me installed applications in kmenu, | 16:17 |
| davidooooo | but I don't know how to cathc the application that are in other pc and when I insert the custom lice cd in other pc and said what programs do you like | 16:17 |

| __mork | thanks! | 16:18 |
| genii | wesleywillians: It only shows apache (httpd) using .2%, the myslq daemon is using 1.2 but even together negligible amount. | 16:18 |
| lmg | hi there ppl. I'm experiencing X lockups with a freshly installed Hardy, nvidia. as soon as I enable the restricted drivers + either desktop fx or any other GL app (like glxgears). have searched the forums (both ubuntu + nvidia) but none of the "solutions" changed anything for me. any hints greatly apretiated. | 16:18 |
| soundray | lmg: are you using the restricted nvidia driver or the one that was installed by default? | 16:19 |
| RoadHazard | hey, the guy with hardy upgrade poor performance, you still here? | 16:19 |
| ross | test | 16:20 |
| soundray | ross: failed | 16:20 |
| ross | can anyone hear me? | 16:20 |
| ross | this is my first time here | 16:21 |
| soundray | ross: no | 16:21 |
| ross | what's wrong with this? | 16:21 |
| lmg | soundray, using the one that got installed by the "restricted driver available" notification. | 16:21 |
| soundray | ross: I'll bring my ear closer to the screen, and you'll shout louder. Okay? | 16:21 |
| ross | ah | 16:21 |
| soundray | !hi | ross | 16:22 |
| ubottu | ross: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:22 |
| soundray | :) | 16:22 |
| ross | my first time here | 16:22 |
| Jaikkuli | can someone tell me why my dvd drive decides to occssionally not appear or not work properly? | 16:22 |
| ross | i just installed ubuntu a few days ago | 16:22 |
| ducky | When I plug in my usb cable that connects to my mp3 player ( not ipod ) the mp3 player knows it got plugged into a computer, but ubuntu dosen't mount or recognize it | 16:22 |
| Abd67 | is anyone elsse having problems using the update manager? Mine does not show up and the icon says "A problem occourred when cheking for updates" | 16:22 |
| Nostahl | I think i got a bad update cause now when i bootup it takes almost a minute for wifi to initialize and my startup program to open / also the forward/back buttons on firefox do not work anymore any idea's? | 16:22 |
| lmg | soundray, using the one that got installed by the "restricted driver available" notification. | 16:23 |
| soundray | lmg: okay, from there I can only suggest you run nvidia-settings and see if any of the offered settings make a difference | 16:23 |
| RoadHazard | Abd67: thats complaint #5 of the update manager this morning, its a trend | 16:23 |
| genii | ducky: Does it show anything relevent in the last few lines of dmesg when you plug it in? | 16:23 |
| ducky | genii, lemme check | 16:23 |
| Abd67 | RoadHazard did not know that. So maybe a server problem then? | 16:23 |
| ross | i'm having some trouble accessing a site: https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/home.do | 16:24 |
| davidooooo | but I don't know how to cathc the application that are in other pc and when I insert the custom lice cd in other pc and said what programs do you like | 16:24 |
| genii | ducky: If more than acouple lines, please use pastebin site | 16:24 |
| RoadHazard | methinks an update was probably borked, but thats an opinion | 16:24 |
| ross | can anyone please tell me why..the page flashes for a minute and then it would just disappear | 16:24 |
| hanzahar | hi guys | 16:24 |
| Nostahl | any idea's why the forward/back button on firefox quit working | 16:24 |
| genii | !clone | davidooooo | 16:25 |
| ubottu | davidooooo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 16:25 |
| hanzahar | hello how is everyone? | 16:25 |
| ducky | last two lines:[ 44.814191] EXT3 FS on sda8, internal journal | 16:25 |
| ducky | [ 45.984237] ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team | 16:25 |
| soundray | ross: it's the same here. The page has been made by incompetent people who didn't test it properly | 16:25 |
| genii | davidooooo: That will get you a list of whats installed | 16:25 |
| Abd67 | RoadHazard hope so. Hoping they release a patch to correct that soon | 16:25 |
| ross | is there a way to fix it? | 16:25 |
| ross | soundray: is there a way to fix it? | 16:25 |
| Nostahl | ross try different browsers | 16:26 |
| ross | ok | 16:26 |
| Jaikkuli | someone tell me why my cd drive wasnt working, and now after reboot wont even appear in my computer | 16:26 |
| hanzahar | hi can i know...i've a usb wireless dodge...smc 2862 w g to be exact...i've already installed the driver but can't make it work any ideas? | 16:26 |
| ducky | genii: full dmesg at http://pastebin.com/d412e147d | 16:26 |
| ross | it would probably work with konqueror | 16:26 |
| genii | ducky: Reading | 16:26 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: hardware failure, software failure, meteor strike | 16:27 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: not hardware.. what software could it be.. looks ok to me outside | 16:27 |
| ross | it doesn't work | 16:27 |
| ross | i tried it in konqueror | 16:27 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: and why would the software not be corrected after reboot | 16:27 |
| ross | what browser should i use to fix this? | 16:27 |
| ross | to access https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/home.do | 16:27 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: what electronic devices look like is not an accurate assessment of their condition | 16:27 |
| genii | ducky: Nothing enlightening there. Please unplug/wait 30 seconds/replug the thing, then pastebin result of: dmesg | tail | 16:28 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: my rom drive? | 16:28 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: thats what I would check first, got an extra one handy? | 16:28 |
| Jaikkuli | nope, not on a laptop i dont :P | 16:28 |
| rgravener | how do you determine which app is binded to a port? | 16:29 |
| hanzahar | how can i ask for help? | 16:29 |
| vega-- | soundray: changed sources.list and issued apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade | 16:29 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: because barring a bad update, drives generally dont just quit because of software that hasnt been changed | 16:29 |
| Pici | hanzahar: Just ask the question ;) | 16:29 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: wierd thing is.. it didnt work.. then after reboot it worked.. then stopped working.. then reboot and wasnt even apearing in the computer | 16:29 |
| vega-- | soundray: don't know results, left the machine at work for the weekend.. | 16:29 |
| ross | soundary: so there is no way for me to access https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/home.do while i'm in ubuntu? | 16:29 |
| soundray | vega--: what change did you make? | 16:30 |
| soundray | ross: hold on, still researching | 16:30 |
| RoadHazard | Jaikkuli: maybe unplug the ribbon cable and reseat it | 16:30 |
| lmg | soundray, none of the settings sounds like it affected 3D acceleration, so I don't think that will solve it. | 16:30 |
| ross | WHOIS soundray | 16:30 |
| vega-- | soundray: s/gutsy/hardy/g :) | 16:30 |
| Jaikkuli | kinda hard to reach anything in this laptop.. esspecially the harddrive.. that part has screws i cant undo | 16:30 |
| soundray | ross: it's me | 16:30 |
| Jaikkuli | RoadHazard: guess i will just reboot again, see what happens.. seems to be a fucking roll of the dice | 16:30 |
| hanzahar | .i've a usb wireless dodge...smc 2862 w g to be exact...i've already installed the driver but can't make it work any ideas? | 16:30 |
| davidooooo | can you tell me a emulator to ubuntu 8.04 to test iso | 16:30 |
| ducky | genii : at http://pastebin.com/d2bf6fc85 | 16:31 |
| RoadHazard | !language | 16:31 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 16:31 |
| Jaikkuli | i would find that quite bizzare to find a family spending time together on an ubuntu channel | 16:31 |
| davidooooo | can you tell me a emulator to ubuntu 8.04 to test iso | 16:31 |
| ross | extended families | 16:31 |
| davidooooo | pleaseeee | 16:32 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: how you wanna test it? | 16:32 |
| danh | run off the cd? | 16:32 |
| soundray | vega--: danger... | 16:32 |
| genii | ducky: reading | 16:32 |
| davidooooo | I need to test an iso with graphic interface | 16:32 |
| tim_mibbit | hi hi, I was thinking of setting up a computer (fresh install) with XFS file system. Is there anything I need to know? I hear I should make a 500 meg boot partition, presuambly in like ext2. Links welcome... | 16:32 |
| ducky | genii : ok | 16:33 |
| soundray | vega--: my next suggestion would have been to switch mirrors, to force a refresh of the package lists | 16:33 |
| davidooooo | because qemu don't work | 16:33 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: so mount it to a directory | 16:33 |
| sarthor | i remove gyachi.. installed..... removed..... read a lot..... read.. read.. but i am unable to run my webcam on gyachi.. I need help.... | 16:33 |
| billybongo | tim_mibbit: I think your boot stuff can be on xfs these days if you want | 16:33 |
| davidooooo | how I mount | 16:33 |
| tim_mibbit | I'll try that, and report back if I needed to do the /boot thing | 16:33 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: make a directory then sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /directoryname | 16:34 |
| davidooooo | I wnat to know if the iso works or not in a virtual terminal in ubuntu | 16:34 |
| soundray | ross: I think this may be an intentional measure to lock out Linux users... | 16:34 |
| rym | Would disabling and re-enabling my sound device (if this is possible) fix the ' device is busy' problem | 16:34 |
| genii | ducky: That was a full output and not just the tail :) But it looks like your drive is on /dev/sg2 now anyhow. | 16:34 |
| ross | soundray: intentional measure to lock out Linux users? Do you think microsoft is behind this? | 16:34 |
| davidooooo | but then the iso unpack in directory | 16:34 |
| davidooooo | but I need to test grafically | 16:35 |
| genii | ducky: possibly /dev/sdb1 | 16:35 |
| soundray | ross: no | 16:35 |
| Nostahl | anyone else getting problems with firefox forward/back buttons stop working? | 16:35 |
| layec | helow monde | 16:35 |
| ross | soundray: so there is NO WAY to access this site? | 16:35 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: I'm not following you | 16:35 |
| tim_mibbit | ross: have you tried changing your agent ID? | 16:36 |
| ross | tim_mibbit: how do I do that? | 16:36 |
| soundray | ross: what sometimes happens is that bank web sites are run by people who in their ignorance equate "Linux" with "Hacker OS" | 16:36 |
| soundray | ross: give me another minute | 16:36 |
| tim_mibbit | ross: there is a plugin for firefox to do it easily, if its just detecting your agent and locking you out. makes your computer report its "IE on XP" or whatever | 16:36 |
| tim_mibbit | ross: I wasnt here to hear exactly the problem though... | 16:36 |

| sarthor | i remove gyachi.. installed..... removed..... read a lot..... read.. read.. but i am unable to run my webcam on gyachi.. I need help.... | 16:36 |
| ross | tim_mibbit: ooo that is pretty cool | 16:36 |
| soundray | !mountiso | davidooooo | 16:36 |
| ubottu | davidooooo: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 16:37 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: then just burn the sucker on a disk and boot it | 16:37 |
| davidooooo | i only need an emulator | 16:37 |
| Dr_willis | davidooooo, the fuseiso tool is a little nicer then the 'mount -o loop' method. :) but both work . | 16:37 |
| ross | tim_mibbit: I'm having some trouble accessing this site: https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/home.do | 16:37 |
| Dr_willis | davidooooo, there is no 'emulator' for iso files under linux. You mount them as you do any other filesystem. | 16:38 |
| ducky | genii: i think i get it now, it works! thanks! | 16:38 |
| ross | tim_mibbit: i tried using mozilla and konqueror but it doesn't work | 16:38 |
| Dr_willis | davidooooo, is this some copy protected game or somthing? | 16:38 |
| davidooooo | for example the program qemu | 16:38 |
| davidooooo | or virtual box | 16:38 |
| ross | tim_mibbit: so how can I go about changing the agent id? | 16:38 |
| soundray | ross: the whole page seems to be overlaid with a Flash thing. | 16:38 |
| davidooooo | but qemu in ubuntu 8.04 don't work and i don't know | 16:38 |
| ross | soundray: what does that mean? | 16:38 |
| Dr_willis | davidooooo, those exist. and can boot iso images. virtualbox has 8.04 packages at theior web site i belive. | 16:39 |
| lmg | is anyone in here using hary + nvidia + nvdia-glx-new? can't believe I'm the only one. | 16:39 |
| RoadHazard | virtualbox is in the hardy repos davidoooo | 16:39 |
| lmg | s/hary/hardy | 16:39 |
| theFATMAN | what does this mean: rar: | 16:39 |
| theFATMAN | Package rar has no available version, but exists in the database. | 16:39 |
| theFATMAN | This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list | 16:39 |
| davidooooo | i try virtual box but there is an error | 16:39 |
| omposter | theFATMAN: Isn't the package called unrar? | 16:39 |
| soundray | ross: do you know what Flash is? | 16:40 |
| theFATMAN | omposter: yea, but i keep geeting this | 16:40 |
| omposter | theFATMAN: with apt-get install unrar? | 16:40 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: what error would that be? | 16:40 |
| ross | soundray: yes | 16:40 |
| ross | soundray: i have installed flash | 16:40 |
| theFATMAN | omposter, nah, in the terminal i get this: sudo apt-get install unrar | 16:41 |
| theFATMAN | Reading package lists... Done | 16:41 |
| theFATMAN | Building dependency tree | 16:41 |
| theFATMAN | Reading state information... Done | 16:41 |
| theFATMAN | Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 16:41 |
| FloodBot1 | theFATMAN: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:41 |
| theFATMAN | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 16:41 |
| harish | i came to know about ccsm from my friend.how to download it from internet? | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | !paste | theFATMAN | 16:41 |
| ubottu | theFATMAN: 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) | 16:41 |
| davidooooo | ther error of virtual box is the virtual box kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that you have permissions dev/vboxdrv | 16:41 |
| omposter | theFATMAN: use a damn pastebin | 16:41 |
| Pici | omposter: Be nice. | 16:41 |
| soundray | ross: I have to take it back | 16:41 |
| omposter | Pici: I'm being very nice | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | theFATMAN: you are not new to this channel should knew about pastebin ... | 16:42 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: did you happen to install the virtualbox kernel package for your kernel? | 16:42 |
| tim1 | Can any one please help, when I install nvidia graphics driver. My onbard lan stops working. I have an A8V-VM SE motherboard. | 16:42 |
| ross | soundray: so.....this site is just simply stupid...? | 16:42 |
| omposter | soundray: nowadays, people refer to flash as 'youtube', just like people refer to linux as 'ubanto' | 16:42 |
| soundray | ross: the site is incompetently written, but it isn't really trying to lock you out on the basis of you using Linux | 16:42 |
| tim1 | When i remove the drivers the lan card starts working again | 16:42 |
| ross | soundray: ah | 16:42 |
| === luke_ is now known as Kazade | ||
| ross | soundray: so...you're saying that there is no way to access this site while i'm in ubuntu...? | 16:42 |

| soundray | ross: see if you can find the link you need, and maybe it's a smooth ride from there. | 16:43 |

| omposter | ross: are you using firefox? | 16:43 |

| harish | somebody help me to know about ccsm | 16:43 |
| Nspryspartan | what you going? | 16:43 |
| davidooooo | I dont find the 8.01 package kernel | 16:43 |
| davidooooo | in what page | 16:43 |
| Nspryspartan | what you guys talking about? | 16:44 |
| tim1 | erUSUL: what shouldi do, install driver and look at dmesg | 16:44 |
| omposter | ross: or opera? | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | davidooooo: packages.ubuntu.com | 16:44 |
| anirudh0 | ross: or use extensions like flashblock or noscript to temporarilly ban flash | 16:44 |
| soundray | ross: failing that, get a Firefox Addon for selectively blocking Flash elements. | 16:44 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: which flavor kernel you running? server, generic? | 16:44 |
| ross | omposter: firefox, and also, maybe i should try using opera | 16:44 |
| soundray | ross: like anirudh0 suggests :) | 16:44 |
| Pici | harish: Do you have a specific question about it? | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | tim1: yep; something like that. also "cat /proc/interrupts" before and after | 16:44 |
| anirudh0 | ross: opera wont help...same reason | 16:44 |
| davidooooo | generic | 16:44 |
| omposter | ross: do you have an adblocker installed? | 16:45 |
| jcaspe | Help please. I'd tried installing ubuntu in my pc a while ago but it stop loading at "running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)" | 16:45 |

| ross | omposter: no | 16:45 |
| hassen | hi, anybody tried to make firefox2 work with addons on ubuntu... Firefox 3 beta is installed by default, and most of the addons do not support it... Anybody has the same problem with firefox2? | 16:45 |
| harish | Pici: I am not able to open ccsm .... | 16:45 |
| ross | anirudh0: how do i use flashblock or noscript | 16:45 |
| omposter | ross: try installing adblock plus, and disabling that flash overlay like the others said. | 16:45 |
| anirudh0 | ross:noscript is better...it has better blocking options...but it might block scipts too | 16:45 |
| anirudh0 | ross: just install noscript from addons.mozilla.com | 16:45 |
| Pici | harish: Is it installed? | 16:45 |
| anirudh0 | ross: its also in the repos | 16:45 |
| tim1 | erUSUL before http://pastebin.com/m2ecde50a | 16:46 |

| recon69 | anyone able to help with wpa_supplicant? | 16:46 |
| omposter | really, it seems more to me like gecko failing at loading the page properly | 16:46 |
| RoadHazard | davidooooo: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-16-generic | 16:46 |
| harish | Pici: I have installed ubuntu 8.04.i dont know whether it is inbuilt or not... | 16:46 |
| soundray | ross: have you tried the resize approach? | 16:46 |
| Pici | harish: its not, you'd need to install it. | 16:47 |
| omposter | which is funny, because they're doing everything with javascript (and loading flash with that) | 16:47 |
| ross | anirudh0: currently installing noscript | 16:47 |
| Pici | harish: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager simple-ccsm | 16:47 |
| ross | soundray: yes, and it works, but that is STRANGE | 16:47 |
| soundray | omposter: I think ross has found a Flash bug. The size of the Flash element is calculated wrong. | 16:47 |
| harish | Pici: How do i do it...? | 16:47 |
| anirudh0 | ross: flash is a pain in general...eats up cpu and distracts you from what you actually want to see | 16:47 |
| tim1 | dmesg http://pastebin.com/me26f859 | 16:47 |
| ross | soundray: the whole page doesn't display properly but when it's resized i can see the login section?? | 16:47 |
| Pici | harish: run that command in a terminal prefixed with sudo: | 16:48 |
| omposter | soundray: you can't find a bug in something that's a bug in itself. | 16:48 |

| soundray | ross: I've found the plugin that causes the problem. The name is ominous | 16:48 |

| soundray | ross: https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/swf/filter1.swf | 16:49 |
| omposter | FreeFull: good job naming more things flash should never ever be used for. | 16:49 |
| anirudh0 | ross: what do you mean "does'nt work"...flash not blocked? | 16:49 |
| === Effe-Work is now known as Effe | ||

| harish | Pici: can you tell me what command to run....? | 16:49 |
| FreeFull | omposter, according to you flash shouldn't be used at all. | 16:50 |
| ross | anirudh0: it doesn't look like it, i mean, the page still can't be displayed | 16:50 |

| anirudh0 | ross:hmm..works for me..i'll post a screenshot | 16:50 |
| RoadHazard | jcaspe: edit /etc/rc.local and see whats hanging it? | 16:51 |
| ross | anirudh0: strange...i already installed noscript...maybe i should try restarting my browswer | 16:51 |
| soundray | ross: you're not meant to click on it. You're meant to block it. Use Adblock Plus or something similar. | 16:51 |
| tim_mibbit | jscape: yes, it would be nice to ascertain whether its hanging in those scripts, or whether its just not running them (unlikely) | 16:51 |
| wax_man | Does anyone know how to create a Desktop or Applications link to a program that is accessed through the console? | 16:52 |

| cl0s | wax_man: right click on ur desktop and click "create launcher" | 16:52 |
| soundray | ross: no, get it through Tools-Addons-Get Extensions | 16:53 |
| RoadHazard | ross: in the time it took you to type that you could have typed apt-cache search adblock | 16:53 |
| anirudh0 | ross: do apt-cache search "package-name" when you want to find stuff like this | 16:53 |

| soundray | ross: or, if you've already installed noscript, restart your firefox and use that to block the address | 16:53 |
| cl0s | wax_man: where it says type.. select Application in Terminal .. and then in command enter the command you want it to execute | 16:53 |
| RoadHazard | jcaspe: when you hang like that, try hitting ctrl-c | 16:53 |
| jcaspe | RoadHazard, how can i see whats hanging it? | 16:54 |
| tim_mibbit | *I'll be back later, jscape, open up the script file and have a look for anything that might hang it. remember it will lock until the things its running return | 16:54 |
| RoadHazard | jcaspe: it stops going? | 16:54 |
| tim_mibbit | *I think | 16:54 |
| wax_man | cl0s: thanks | 16:54 |

| anirudh0 | ross: yes..after installation it is enabled by default...see the icon in the status bar | 16:57 |

Any ideas? | 17:01 |

| The_B_Guy | MCCloak: Got it... simdock in the repository (8.04) | 17:01 |
| X3lectric | babolat yea | 17:01 |
| MCCloak | The_B_Guy: tyvm | 17:01 |
| anirudh0 | goody: oops..go to /usr/share/xsessions | 17:01 |
| soundray | ross: you need to enable JavaScript, but block the address that I gave you | 17:01 |
| ross | anirudh0: i can see the site but i can't access my account!! | 17:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | score THey may recommend it .. but we recommend staying with our repos | 17:02 |
| anirudh0 | goody: and remove the files you dont want | 17:02 |
| babolat | X3lectric: the site has CSS layout that's incomprehensible. that's why | 17:02 |
| X3lectric | lol | 17:02 |
| anirudh0 | ross: thats because noscipt blocks _all_ scripts | 17:02 |
| ross | soundray: how do i enable javacript? and what was the address again? how do i block it? | 17:02 |
| soundray | ross: you disabled javascript by enabling noscript | 17:02 |
| X3lectric | well I thought I would share so it could be fixed | 17:02 |
| stabbe | I have a problem with my tv-out settings, i manage to get a picture and can move the mouse around on the tv. But i cant drag anything with me from my desktop to the tv monitor, like vlc when i want to watch a movie on the tv. How do i do this? thanks | 17:02 |
| The_B_Guy | MCCloak: Look at http://www.getdeb.net for latest screenlet application | 17:03 |
| babolat | X3lectric: Go file a bug about it if you think it's worth it | 17:03 |
| anirudh0 | ross: so the easiest thing is to disable noscript..enable flashblock...and access your account | 17:03 |
| X3lectric | na | 17:03 |
| X3lectric | thx | 17:03 |
| tim1 | erUSUL after http://pastebin.com/m569db134 | 17:03 |
| X3lectric | laters guys | 17:03 |
| anirudh0 | ross: you can edit noscipt as well..bit it is'nt so straightforward | 17:03 |
| DavidCraft | so any ideas on my server problem ^ ? | 17:03 |
| anirudh0 | ross:flashblock _only_ blocks flash | 17:03 |
| ljsoftnet | is there an icon theme for gnome that looks like windows? | 17:04 |

| ross | anirudh0: and I already disabled noscript | 17:04 |
| babolat | look for them icon packs at http://art.gnome.org ljsoftnet | 17:04 |
| edgecase | i've been having problems getting ps/top to show WCHAN, for years it seems, i don' t remember the last time it worked, but i have a need for it now | 17:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ljsoftnet yes, but it is not a simple point and click. much needs to be done manually | 17:04 |
| anirudh0 | ross: nope..adblock= block ads...flashblock=block all flash objects | 17:04 |
| Pici | H4lon4: Not all. | 17:05 |
| anirudh0 | ross:therefore adblock!=flashblock..even though names are similar | 17:05 |
| ljsoftnet | babolat: the website doesn't show the sizes of the icons | 17:05 |
| tim1 | erUSUL and dmesg http://pastebin.com/m37a09ad9 | 17:05 |
| ross | OK NOW IT WORKS | 17:05 |
| anirudh0 | ljsofnet: its easier to make it look like mac...look at Mac4Lin...it'll look better anyways | 17:05 |
| babolat | ljsoftnet: you mean the display sizes? | 17:05 |
| anirudh0 | ross:great | 17:06 |
| ross | i enabled flash block | 17:06 |
| gooody | anirudh0: how am i going to remove the files using sudo? i am new to linux and not very familiar yet with terminal commands. | 17:06 |
| ross | WOW | 17:06 |
| ross | THAT TOOK LIKE AN HOUR | 17:06 |

| H4lon4 | Pici: Do you know why some packages are left out, or what kinds of packages are left out? | 17:06 |
| soundray | ross: all thanks to incompetent web designers | 17:06 |
| ljsoftnet | babolat i just want smaller icons for gnome | 17:06 |
| anirudh0 | goody:sudo rm "file-name" | 17:06 |
| babolat | ljsoftnet: you can resize them via your own config | 17:06 |
| Pici | H4lon4: I dont know. | 17:06 |
| anirudh0 | soundray: i'm not sure that its a flash bug | 17:06 |
| soundray | anirudh0: no, I agree | 17:07 |
| ross | ok, so the solution was to install and enable flash block | 17:07 |
| Pici | H4lon4: You can look on packages.ubuntu.com if you need check | 17:07 |

| robg_ | 17 partitions is a bit over the top. | 17:25 |
| cocoa117 | thanx, robg | 17:25 |
| cocoa117 | what's the limits? | 17:25 |
| cocoa117 | 15? | 17:25 |
| cocoa117 | they all in logical partition by the way | 17:25 |
| robg_ | Are you talking desktop or server ? | 17:25 |
| cocoa117 | desktop | 17:26 |
| cocoa117 | hardy desktop, amd64 | 17:26 |
| robg_ | Most standard PCs will accept 3 or 4 primary partitions plus a few logical ones. | 17:26 |
| sparkyy | jdavies, lol | 17:26 |
| Webu | Is there any CLI DC++ software? | 17:26 |
| sparkyy | mortal, lol | 17:26 |
| ljsoftnet | babolat: i'm referring to the menus and icons in the upper panel | 17:27 |
| jdavies | sparkyy: hey there | 17:27 |
| cocoa117 | 4 primary partition is understandable, because of BIOS | 17:27 |
| sparkyy | ubottu is so full of wisdom. He blurs my consciousness | 17:27 |
| ubottu | sparkyy: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:27 |
| sparkyy | lol | 17:27 |
| cocoa117 | i thought in logical partition, the number is much higher, in theory, unlimited | 17:27 |
| Pici | sparkyy: Please don't play with the bot. | 17:27 |
| anirudh0 | Webu:microdc...you'll have to compile it | 17:27 |
| sparkyy | Pici sorry man | 17:27 |
| Webu | anirudh0, hmm, thanks! | 17:28 |
| robg_ | Do you have any idea how much work it is to maintain so many instances of an OS ? | 17:28 |
| babolat | ljsoftnet: right click on the panel, then properties. it should have a size in pixels box there for you | 17:28 |
| stechkov | anyone knows a good VCD Ripper and a Video Converter For Gutsy? | 17:28 |
| Acorn | argh, i'm on the ubuntu live cd but I can't login to root because I don't have a password, what do i do? | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cocoa117 I think logicals have a limit of 356 | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 256 | 17:28 |
| babolat | !root | Acorn | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Acorn: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:29 |
| sparkyy | What user should games be installed as if they are not from the repos | 17:29 |
| cocoa117 | ok, 256 | 17:29 |
| ljsoftnet | babolat: it doesn't change the size of the icons | 17:29 |
| cocoa117 | i am currently under 17 | 17:29 |
| stechkov | Acorn: Try "sudo su" command | 17:29 |
| cocoa117 | so, why kernel or fdisk can't see anything beond 15? | 17:29 |
| ross | is it possible to boot to Windows while still in linux? I have Windows installed on one HD and ubuntu on another | 17:29 |
| sparkyy | /usr/share/games is root:root shouldn't you just install in home directory if the games are not from the repositories? | 17:29 |
| tacojohn | http://digg.com/microsoft/Lenovo_It_s_hard_to_say_goodbye_to_Windows_XP | 17:29 |
| Acorn | hehe, let me guess, i'm not the first to ask that question :) thanks for the help | 17:30 |
| Slart | sparkyy: usually game binaries are installed as root.. then the game has a folder in your home folder for settings, maps and such | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ross not the way you think.. vbox etc yes | 17:30 |
| tacojohn | Thats pretty funny that Lenovo doesn't want to get rid of XP | 17:30 |
| ross | Jack_Sparrow: so there is no way? | 17:30 |
| luderacer | awsome tacojohn | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ross vbox wine and other ways... yes | 17:31 |
| sparkyy | Slart, ok but some games don't do that by default. i.e nexuiz so I couldnt get the game to run without sudo | 17:31 |
| Baltazaar | Any idea why I can't switch between workspaces anymore? | 17:31 |
| tacojohn | luderacer, If you like it, digg it :) | 17:31 |
| Slart | sparkyy: or put it in /opt/ and use any user you want.. as long as the game itself isn't suid there shouldn't be any problems, afaik | 17:31 |
| ross | Jack_Sparrow: so how do I do it? | 17:31 |
| ross | Jack_Sparrow: can you please tell me? | 17:31 |
| Slart | sparkyy: running games with sudo would be a big nono | 17:31 |
| sparkyy | Slart, ok I will use opt | 17:31 |
| clever | Slart: enless theres a rootkit in the 'make install' script:P | 17:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ross /join #vbox or #winehq | 17:31 |
| sparkyy | Slart, I know but it wouldn't see its maps so I had to get my Nex fix | 17:31 |
| sparkyy | lol | 17:31 |
| Slart | clever: indeed =) | 17:32 |
| sparkyy | the games in the repos are often way out of date and so I have to get the binaries from the source project | 17:32 |
| Slart | sparkyy: hehe | 17:32 |
| ross | Jack_Sparrow: i'm in the vbox room | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ross then ask your questions, and they will answer | 17:32 |
| MvG | Hi! What's the preferred place for feature requests? Launchpad bugs? Brainstorm? | 17:33 |

| jimcooncat | MvG brainstorm is a good place to find out if your idea's already implemented, or would be popular | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | Do NOT use 'sudo su' --> see --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 17:35 |
| Baltazaar | figured it out... Was a compiz thing | 17:35 |
| Slart | sparkyy: there's nothing special about the /opt/ folder.. you could do the same with /usr if you really wanted.. but I think keeping your weird stuff in /opt makes things a bit clearer | 17:35 |
| clever | MvG: theres also sudoedit | 17:35 |
| Spoom | hi folks, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a client's machine but it has a compaq recovery partition that's preventing the installer from detecting the windows xp install that's already there, and is only presenting me with the option to use the entire disk, does anyone know how i can get it to correctly detect the xp partition? i'm willing to delete the recovery partition if that's necessary | 17:35 |

| Acorn | does sudo su only allow you to do things in terminal? if so is there any way to give yourself permission to do things (such as share a folder) from within file explorer? | 17:35 |
| darthanubis | my fullscreen games like vegastrike will not steal fullscreen | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | slimjimflim, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 is the basics.. with whatever extra options you need. | 17:35 |
| linkmaster03 | How can I install Java JRE in Seamonkey to handle "application/x-java-vm"? | 17:36 |
| darthanubis | maybe I need the compiz taskbar button? | 17:36 |
| Dr_willis | Acorn, the root user/sudoer must enable some features to allow samba shares to work. I always just enable samba manually | 17:36 |
| robg_ | If you want a complete overview of your harddisk you can use Gparted from Sourceforge. | 17:36 |
| Slart | Acorn: gksudo nautilus will give you a root-file explorer window... BE VERY CAREFUL WITH IT | 17:36 |
| sparkyy | Slart, so put all your weird binaries and pr0n in /opt. lol | 17:36 |
| tacojohn | linkmaster03, Install the jre and don't use seamonkey, use firefox or epiphany | 17:36 |
| MvG | clever: Thanks, hadn't known that one. | 17:36 |

| linkmaster03 | tacojohn: i have it installed but this one application requires seamonkey | 17:37 |
| Spoom | robg_, do you think if i remove the recovery partition it'll correctly detect the xp install? | 17:37 |
| Dr_willis | Acorn, seems every time i try the gui 'share tools' they never proplery install the 'samba' package . I always fire up the package manager and install it myself. | 17:37 |
| RoadHazard | samba's evil | 17:37 |

| robg_ | You can never predict exactly what will happen but if you use Gparted you can do some manipulation. | 17:37 |
| Acorn | basically all i'm trying to do is send my files over my network to another computer so that i can format my hard disk and install ubuntu. the problem is that doing it through file explorer takes a long time (50 minutes for 3gb). There must be a faster way of doing it | 17:37 |
| Pici | sparkyy: Please take offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic . #ubuntu is only for Support. | 17:38 |
| sparr | how can i disable the "doesnt support secure updates" addon protection in ff3? | 17:38 |
| RoadHazard | Acorn: need a fatter cable | 17:38 |
| MvG | Pici: Question is, is it because of more intelligent completion in zsh, or because of more dumb completion... ;-) | 17:38 |
| robg_ | You can delete partitions with Gparted or reduce them in size. You cannot move an OS from one part of the disk to another. | 17:38 |
| Pici | MvG: I'm not sure, I didnt look into the logic behind it | 17:38 |

| sparr | thanks cleaton | 17:39 |
| sparr | clever too! | 17:39 |
| Acorn | jimcooncat: tar over ssh? | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | Acorn, winscp and ssh - will get you moving files around rather easially.. not super fast.. but it will work. | 17:39 |
| Spoom | robg_, ok, well, thanks for the ideas, though gparted says ntfs is inconsistent on the xp install so that might be why anyway | 17:39 |
| * Spoom reboots to run chkdsk /f | 17:39 | |
| robg_ | Gparted may offer options that you may not want to use because of the risk. Isuggest only parition deletes and partition size reductions. | 17:40 |
| clever | Acorn: tar -cf - /|ssh name@host 'cat - > /remotefile' | 17:40 |
| Acorn | is ssh a program? | 17:40 |
| Dr_willis | !ssh | 17:40 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 17:40 |

| Dr_willis | Acorn, ssh is one of those tools that has so many ussages. :) theres whole books on it. winscp is a ssh client/gui for windows. | 17:40 |

| clever | its a bit overkill to throw the whole fs under svn | 17:43 |
| clever | but its fun at the same time | 17:43 |

| slawek | j /ubuntu-pl | 17:54 |
| tacojohn | gwern, You have to backup your /home | 17:54 |
| CroX | clever: Looks empty when running that, atleast using phpMyAdmin. Only process listed is the "show processlist". | 17:54 |
| soundray | r00723r0: I know that, but the question did not make sense without qualification | 17:54 |
| tacojohn | gwern, There isn't any way around that | 17:54 |
| tacojohn | gwern, Not in your case | 17:54 |

| RoadHazard | gwern: and make sure you get the . directories | 17:54 |
| clever | CroX: if you run it as a non root, you only see your own things | 17:54 |
| Acorn | RoadHazard: would i need to use any options? | 17:54 |

| CroX | clever: Yeah. | 17:55 |
| neumind | wher i can get automatix for 8.04 ubuntu version? | 17:55 |
| gwern | tacojohn: backing up is kind of a problem, as I have no other drives to back up to. however, I haven't used up more than half the space on this disk, which is why I was thinking about resizing | 17:55 |
| bazhang | neumind, you cant | 17:55 |
| clever | CroX: could be crashing or alot or things connecting&disconnecting | 17:56 |
| erUSUL | !automatix | neumind | 17:56 |
| ubottu | neumind: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 17:56 |
| clever | CroX: run the show processlist a few times and see if you catch something when its connected | 17:56 |
| Acorn | RoadHazard: ok, i have the source on this computer, and i need to specify the destination. the computer is called "lianli" | 17:56 |
| jimcooncat | neumind: most stuff Automatix provided in the past can just be done regularly now | 17:56 |
| Acorn | would it be: rsync "source" lianli@ ? | 17:56 |
| CroX | clever: Seems quite empty. Might have found something while googling the issue though. | 17:57 |
| tacojohn | gwern, ok well boot the ubuntu live cd up (Don't choose Install). and you can resize things using gparted | 17:57 |
| ross | how can i go about installing itunes on ubuntu? | 17:57 |

| gwern | tacojohn: ok, so it *can* be done yes? | 17:58 |
| RoadHazard | Acorn: so something like rsync --recursive /wherefrom //lianli/whereto should do the trick | 17:58 |
| Oberon | Hi, any idea why marking packets in INPUT chain of mangle table and tc ingress don;t work properly | 17:58 |
| tacojohn | gwern, Yes, you'll need to first shrink the partition, and then move it | 17:58 |

| ChrisULM | (gutsy) | 18:00 |
| rascal999 | I have a LifeCam vx-1000, the webcam (kinda) works but I want the microhpone in it going, how can I do this? | 18:00 |
| ru_ | does anybody know why i cannot simultaneously execute two versions of firefox? | 18:00 |
| soundray | CroX: have you found out how to switch your clock applet to internet time? | 18:00 |
| === Gaint_Sura is now known as GaintSura | ||
| RoadHazard | ChrisULM: samba has that effect on people, given any thought to an ftp server? | 18:00 |
| CroX | soundray: Nope, I have no idea. Do you? :) | 18:00 |
| Miranda7831 | :-) | 18:00 |
| jimcooncat | ru_ the script that starts it (named firefox) keeps that from happening, IIRC | 18:00 |
| ChrisULM | RoadHazard, i'd rather have samba going. I usually have no problems with it, but i think its this second internal hdd thats freaking it out | 18:00 |
| clever | soundray: thats fun, but i find the kde clock applet is more flexible, it can go to diff timezones | 18:01 |
| GottaBeAndrew | hi, i'm wanting somebody who has used linux for a while now and has a good knowledge of it all who i can pm. i'm a new user and trying to figure out what's best for me. | 18:01 |
| Acorn | RoadHazard: " No such file or directory " :( | 18:01 |
| Slart | ru_: I'm not sure but I think firefox checks to see if it's already running... | 18:01 |
| ru_ | CroX, ntpdate -u | 18:01 |
| Acorn | (for the destination) | 18:01 |
| soundray | CroX: yes. gconf-editor, apps/panel/applet_0/prefs -- change the value of the format key to Internet | 18:01 |
| clever | soundray: though if i just set TZ before starting gnome-panel i can get a fake timezoen for that clock also | 18:01 |
| ru_ | Slart, i even have this problem when i try to start mozilla on a remote computer, via ssh | 18:01 |
| RoadHazard | Acorn: try replacing lianli with the ip addy | 18:02 |
| Acorn | ok | 18:02 |
| gwern | thanks for the help everyone | 18:02 |
| clever | ru_: use --no-remote | 18:02 |
| clever | ru_: to start a 2nd firefox | 18:02 |
| ru_ | i execute mozilla over ssh, while firefox is running locally. mozilla does not start, but a new firefox window appears | 18:02 |
| clever | ru_: that option forces it to not try to contact the existing ff window | 18:02 |
| clever | and makes it not listen either | 18:02 |
| soundray | clever: "Locations" is not for you? | 18:02 |
| GottaBeAndrew | is there anybody in here who has used linux for a while now and who has a good knowledge of it all who i can pm? i'm a new user and trying to figure out what's best for me. | 18:03 |
| ChrisULM | any samba/fstab gurus care to take a look at my config files for me? | 18:03 |

| anirudh0 | ross: look up gtkpod,,,itunes per se wont work on linux..not even under wine | 18:03 |
| GottaBeAndrew | i've not used irc before neither and i'm using it through pidgin atm so how do i change. | 18:03 |
| ru_ | clever, thanks! --no-remote works. | 18:03 |
| soundray | clever: left-click the applet and select Locations from the bottom of the calendar panel | 18:03 |
| CroX | soundray: There's not such directory. I only got apps/panel but no applet_0 there. Checking it out though, I have applets/clock_screen0 in there, but it doesn't contain a format value. | 18:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | GottaBeAndrew type /join #Ubuntu-offtopic right where you type messages | 18:04 |
| GottaBeAndrew | ok, will that change my operating system? | 18:04 |
| clever | soundray: the kde or gnome clock applet? | 18:04 |
| nem | question: how do i change resolution on my lcd screen when all i can select are 800x600 and 640x480? running geforce6800 with restricted drivers | 18:04 |
| GottaBeAndrew | no, i'm joking. i'm not that much of an idiot. :P | 18:04 |

| roma | hi all | 18:08 |
| psufan | when using the --url= parameter to do a pxe netboot install, after the install it's setting the sources.list urls all to that value and that means either the machine that fed it the install files is still running or apt-get is dead in the water, how do I make the installer put the normal sources.list on the hard drive | 18:08 |
| killemall | can debian .deb be installed on ubuntu ? | 18:08 |
| killemall | is there any difference? | 18:08 |

| ru_ | killemall: yes | 18:08 |
| epahl_ | CroX: would you be able to put your config file on pastebin or something for me to have a look at? | 18:08 |

| RoadHazard | Acorn: mount the samba share to a directory on your computer and rsync it to there | 18:09 |
| killemall | can i add something to sources.list so as a last resort it might check debian repos for some things? theres a security update for a program im using but no ubuntu deb yet, (well apt finds nothing) but theres a debian one | 18:09 |

| Stavros | RAdams: and browse with the terminal to see if it's accessible | 19:30 |
| RAdams | stavros: its not mounted under any folder. the output of mount doesnt even mention it | 19:30 |
| bbyever | RAdams: i would suggest booting into windows and unmounting it from there, then trying again in ubuntu | 19:30 |
| Slart | zelhar: can't you just close it? I've never had update-manager force a restart on me | 19:31 |
| Stavros | RAdams: oh, then you need to find the device name :/ | 19:31 |
| Stavros | do the properties in nautilus mention anything? | 19:31 |
| zelhar | No it doesn't respond | 19:31 |
| Slart | zelhar: is there some kind of dialog open? | 19:31 |
| RAdams | stavros: yes | 19:31 |

| RAdams | stavros: what does what say? mount? | 19:32 |
| x0x | hey Stavros | 19:32 |
| blizzardman1219 | can someone link me to an example of what my wpa_supplicant.conf file is supposed to look like? | 19:32 |

| Stavros | x0x: yes? | 19:33 |

| Slart | zelhar: ok.. open a terminal, run "xkill" and then click on the update-manager | 19:33 |
| zelhar | will do thanks | 19:34 |
| RoadHazard | x0x: try libmysql-tcl | 19:34 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, the lsb_release -a didn't show that detail | 19:34 |
| Slart | zelhar: or run "pkill update-manager" .. either way should work | 19:34 |

| _ale_ | if you ask me..i would say is a amule fall | 19:53 |
| res22 | wy, always remember, linux is always right ;) | 19:53 |
| ariqs | soundray: it does | 19:53 |
| robg_ | theFATMAN: not my field of erpertise. Ask somebnody else. | 19:53 |
| soundray | ariqs: how do you know? | 19:53 |
| ariqs | I had to change my kernel image in order to get the package to install | 19:53 |
| eniac | res22: and you're clearly not always right | 19:53 |
| squarebracket | tracker seems to be what's eating at my hard drive, but it will be useful to know what tasks are IO'ing.... | 19:53 |
| alberto | _ale_, you think with EXT3 will be more secure for this kind of use? | 19:54 |
| ariqs | it wouldn't let me do it until it matched | 19:54 |
| ariqs | ! | 19:54 |
| wy | res22: Linux says 255. Windows says 240... | 19:54 |
| theFATMAN | robg, thanks anyway, i really appreciate ur help | 19:54 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, is the site just x.og ? | 19:54 |
| res22 | enaic + wy, kidding | 19:54 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: just remember to backup before you "aptitude purge" | 19:54 |
| _ale_ | ext3 works good for a desktop system | 19:54 |
| wy | res22: I guess that's why PQmagic wants to fix the partition table | 19:54 |
| theFATMAN | good gui resource monitor? anybody? | 19:54 |
| _ale_ | alberto: | 19:54 |
| _ale_ | is better if you do a separate partition | 19:54 |
| robg_ | theFATMAN: overwriting a harddisk is never a problem if the harddisk is in good condition. | 19:54 |
| alberto | and for this kind of use? In Windows this doesn't happens :( | 19:55 |
| res22 | wy: windows takes account of the c: drive, linux takes account of the whole hd | 19:55 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: sorry, you misunderstood -- I'm talking about removing everything graphical if you can't just purge and reinstall gdm | 19:55 |
| wy | How many heads do recent harddisks have? | 19:55 |
| ariqs | and I see ltmodem.o files around now. I just don't have a clue what I need to do next. wvdialconf doesn't find the modem, like I said | 19:55 |
| theFATMAN | robg, ok, that will solve it i hope, :.) | 19:55 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: it's still simpler than a full reinstall if you have server software configured already. | 19:55 |
| soundray | ariqs: ltmodem.o is no use. You need a .ko. What does 'lsmod | grep ltmodem' give you? | 19:56 |
| white_eagle | hello, when I try to compile ( ./configure ) do-plugins I get this error in the command line: "configure: error: No Boo compiler found". What should I install so the compiling should continue? | 19:56 |
| theFATMAN | are there other ubuntu support channels? | 19:56 |
| ariqs | soundray: I'll go see. | 19:56 |
| alberto | _ele_, ok, many thanks for your help | 19:56 |

| Eddymvp | any ideas what I can look at? | 19:57 |
| ariqs | nothing, soundray | 19:58 |
| wy | I got this warning from testdisk: Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 240 (NTFS) != 255 (HD) | 19:58 |

| oddar | anyone here dualbooting with backtrack? | 19:58 |
| Gustav_ | please help, ubuntu freezes after "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]" | 19:58 |
| greeg | hi | 19:59 |
| soundray | ariqs: if it's installed correctly, you should be able to load the module with 'sudo modprobe ltmodem' (if that is really the name). Once you've done that, 'lsmod | grep ltmodem' should list it. | 19:59 |
| greeg | how do i have firefox not play so choppy?libflash-mozplugin swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash don't work and is all thats listed under apt-cache search flash | grep moz | 19:59 |

| cgentry72 | how do I install KDE and keep the applications seperate from gnome | 20:00 |
| alberto | I cannot configure Pulse Audio and AC3 over SPDIF. Anybody knows a workaround? | 20:00 |
| soundray | ariqs: if that works, make the change permanent with 'echo ltmodem | sudo tee -a /etc/modules' | 20:00 |
| dopievoli_ | greg: did you install flash properly? | 20:00 |
| greeg | err how do i get firefox not play youtube so choppy | 20:00 |

| Flannel | cgentry72: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/18/removing-kde-icons-in-gnome-remove-gnome-icons-in-kde/ | 20:00 |
| cgentry72 | Flannel: thank u | 20:00 |
| soundray | greeg: flashplugin-nonfree (and you need to remove gnash) | 20:01 |
| crf | Gustav, what does the file /etc/rc.local say ? | 20:01 |
| erUSUL | greeg: libflashsupport?? | 20:01 |
| ariqs | soundray: it didn't work! it doesn't find the ltmodem | 20:01 |
| ariqs | urrrghghg | 20:01 |
| crf | greeg, you can go to macromedia and download the flash plugin beta. | 20:01 |
| cgentry72 | Flannel: i assume i do all this after install kde correct | 20:01 |
| soundray | ariqs: I'm out of suggestions at this point, sorry | 20:02 |
| ariqs | soundray: this is the package I got http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 | 20:02 |
| crf | And put that in the plugins directory of the .mozilla folder in your home directory. | 20:02 |
| coil | im trying to install hardy heron from amd64 alt cd, and i did md5sum of the iso and the burned cd, two packages related to xorg are failing the hash checksum....how do i install those packages with the internet | 20:02 |
| ariqs | I also got the linux-image dependency | 20:02 |
| soundray | ariqs: and did you reboot to that kernel? | 20:02 |
| jeejon83 | hi there | 20:02 |
| ariqs | yes | 20:02 |
| ariqs | and it told me the package was installed successfully | 20:03 |
| greeg | flashplugin-nonfree is already installed | 20:03 |
| * soundray shrugs. Sorry | 20:03 | |
| greeg | yet youtube and newgrounds is still playing choppy | 20:03 |
| ariqs | thanks for the help anyway, soundray | 20:03 |
| soundray | greeg: have you removed gnash and restarted firefox? | 20:03 |
| crf | greeg, you may try the beta plugin. | 20:03 |
| crf | you don't need to remove gnash, you can just disable the plugin | 20:04 |
| crf | in firefox. | 20:04 |
| soundray | crf: why make it complicated | 20:04 |
| white_eagle | hello, when I try to compile ( ./configure ) do-plugins I get this error in the command line: "configure: error: No Boo compiler found". What should I install so the compiling should continue? | 20:04 |
| sriramoman | never use gnash. | 20:04 |
| crf | it is more complicated. | 20:04 |
| crf | to use a package manager to add and remove thing. | 20:04 |
| coil | im trying to install hardy heron from amd64 alt cd, and i did md5sum of the iso and the burned cd, two packages related to xorg are failing the hash checksum....how do i install those packages with the internet | 20:04 |
| sriramoman | since adobe-flash anyway has become opensource its safe to use flash-plugin | 20:04 |
| _ale_ | white_eagle: a boo compiler | 20:05 |
| zelhar | Thanks for your help I think I know what I should try to do now | 20:05 |
| _ale_ | like the error says | 20:05 |
| soundray | crf: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove gnash' -- very simple. It's not needed anyway if flashplugin-nonfree works (greeg) | 20:05 |
| _ale_ | apt-cache search boo | 20:05 |
| white_eagle | _ale_: ummm | 20:05 |
| _ale_ | apt-cache search boo | grep compiler | 20:05 |
| white_eagle | _ale_: there are too much result | 20:05 |
| robg_ | coil: I have downloaded many .iso images and installed them successfully without doing any checksums. | 20:05 |
| soundray | !info boo | white_eagle | 20:05 |
| ubottu | white_eagle: boo (source: boo): python-like language and compiler for the CLI. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.0.2730-5 (hardy), package size 95 kB, installed size 832 kB | 20:05 |
| white_eagle | _ale_: oh, thats more like it :) thanks | 20:05 |
| coil | two .deb pakages are failing checksums | 20:06 |
| _ale_ | no :D | 20:06 |
| coil | so they wont install | 20:06 |
| coil | from the cd | 20:06 |
| white_eagle | _ale_: no what? :) | 20:06 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them fromt he flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 20:06 |
| _ale_ | white_eagle: install build-essentials | 20:06 |
| greeg | yes i removed gnash | 20:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coil Is this a dell of hp by chance | 20:06 |

| FloodBot3 | greeg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:06 |
| coil | it's custom computer | 20:06 |
| robg_ | coil: if you have a damaged CD iso then download a new one. | 20:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greeg Please stop that and be polite | 20:07 |
| soundray | greeg: pull yourself together | 20:07 |
| coil | robg_: I CHECKED THE MD5SUM | 20:07 |
| greeg | it's not working | 20:07 |
| soundray | greeg: some people need to use this channel professionally | 20:07 |
| coil | md5sum is fine | 20:07 |
| coil | and i did the md5sum of the burned cd as well | 20:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coil md5 can be fine and still have a problem, particularly on dell and hp.. | 20:07 |

| robg_ | muzy: what is the problem ? | 20:10 |
| white_eagle | _ale_: ummm... there isn't a README file in do-plugins folder (nor in any of its subfolders) :P | 20:10 |
| muzy | i have installed windows parallel to ubuntu | 20:10 |
| muzy | windows first | 20:10 |
| muzy | now grub didn't find windows | 20:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | muzy Paste the command I just gave into a terminal without the () at the end and give us the link it gives you in return | 20:11 |
| robg_ | muzy: did your Linux install overwrite Windows ? | 20:11 |
| _ale_ | white_eagle: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/03/06/how-to-install-gnome-do-plugins/ | 20:11 |

| Mattitude | The problem I have you see, is that whilst as far as I am aware, I have configured pure-ftpd correctly, however I launch it and it seems to launch fine (showing the arguments etc.) - but it doesn't seem to be launched really as it doesn't then show up in a ps -A, and nor on a netstat -l either | 20:14 |
| robinsk | anyone have any ideas on why i only get 16bpp color depth with the ati xserver-xorg-driver-ati? radeon x1900xt | 20:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tim167 I wold not suggest that for long term use.. it will kill your stick eventually. It does work great for quick recoveries etc | 20:14 |
| greeg | crf: forget it. it didnt work anyway | 20:14 |
| ariqs | I posted it on the ubuntu forums. I'll see how it goes there | 20:15 |
| Jav13r_ | any1 here use Alpine email client? i would need some help | 20:15 |
| tim167 | Jack_Sparrow does it depend on how often you write to the stick ? | 20:15 |
| suriro | ariqs: you probably got the wrong package. Get the one whose name ends as -generic | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tim167 yes, you have a finite number of write cycles | 20:16 |
| crf | greeg, that isn't the one | 20:16 |
| ariqs | surino: the package lists the driver I wanted in it | 20:16 |
| muzy | i tried this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) and nothing works | 20:16 |

| white_eagle | bye | 20:17 |
| tim167 | Jack_Sparrow: is each small file a write cycle ? | 20:17 |
| greeg | perhalps reinstalling firefox | 20:17 |
| suriro | ariqs: it does not matter, the hw architecture has to match. | 20:18 |
| crf | greeg, try here --> http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ | 20:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tim167 no, has nothing to do with that, just the number of times the data get written to the stick | 20:18 |
| suriro | ariqs: you'd better make use of synaptic, it has it all... | 20:18 |
| muzy | mhhm why grub doesn't find windows and why your commands didn't work ? | 20:19 |
| ariqs | i can't | 20:19 |
| robinsk | anyone know any fixes for this? http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Radeon_GPU_fan_is_very_loud_.2F_constantly_works | 20:19 |

| suriro | ariqs: what's the output of uname -m | 20:19 |
| el_ruso | hi | 20:19 |

| blackcoatman | el_ruso: nvu! | 20:21 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, so just sudo apt-get purge gdm ? like so? | 20:21 |
| crf | greeg, then reopen firefox, go to tools-->addons-->plugins, and disable any flash plugin except the latest one you just installed. | 20:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | blackcoatman HAve you tried turning off desktop effects | 20:21 |
| soundray | !lnw | shazzam | 20:21 |

| lukifer_etyrnal | or do i have to hit ALL underlying "x stuff" | 20:21 |
| Mattitude | nevermind, I found it out | 20:21 |
| blackcoatman | Jack_SParrow yes I have... | 20:21 |
| shazzam | nono.... i want to put ubuntu on my 500 gb har drive | 20:21 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, or do i have to hit ALL underlying "x stuff" | 20:21 |
| blackcoatman | i uninstalled compiz and metacity completely | 20:22 |
| Mattitude | I had to use the command "pure-ftpd &" instead of "/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd" | 20:22 |
| blackcoatman | um not metacity lol | 20:22 |
| el_ruso | blackcoatman, in the repos? | 20:22 |
| shazzam | im not sure how | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crf He isnt trying to use shockwave is he.. or did I read something wrong earlier | 20:22 |
| soundray | shazzam: do you have Windows on that drive already? | 20:22 |
| blackcoatman | yes I completely removed it | 20:22 |
| robg_ | shazzam, what is the problem ? | 20:22 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: that's only the theory, I can't suggest that without more research into what your initial problem wsa | 20:22 |
| jimcooncat | was | 20:22 |
| shazzam | no i just bought the hard drive but i want to put ubuntu on it... and probably windows | 20:23 |
| cheeby | hi. I can I check the system architecture from the commandline? | 20:23 |
| shazzam | but i dont need windows on it right now.. | 20:23 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, i understand that - i appreciate your suggestions - i take them at my own risk - i'm a grown-up now =) | 20:23 |
| Mattitude | hmmm, ok pure-ftpd is running, but it's not binding to the port | 20:23 |
| soundray | shazzam: is there another drive in your system? | 20:23 |
| shazzam | is there a tutorial on partitioning a hard drive for this? | 20:23 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: what had actually happened? | 20:23 |
| shazzam | wat u mean? | 20:23 |
| shazzam | its an external hard drive | 20:23 |
| ru_ | cheeby, uname -a | 20:24 |
| el_ruso | blackcoatman, nva----> in the repos? | 20:24 |
| soundray | shazzam: so you already have a hard drive in your computer? | 20:24 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, i cut synaptic loose and told it to update everything =) | 20:24 |
| shazzam | the c: drive | 20:24 |
| shazzam | yeah | 20:24 |
| cheeby | ru_, ah, of course. | 20:24 |

| blackcoatman | when gnome crashes, i can ctrl-alt-backspace and relogin, but then it won't load again, unless I reboot completely... The same happens to both my Linux Mint and Ubuntu Studio installation | 20:24 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: ok, are you not running a default installation? | 20:24 |
| robg_ | shazzam: use gparted to examine your harddisk. | 20:24 |
| shazzam | is that a program? | 20:24 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, it fell on it's face - machine boots alright - everything else is ok - just gdm is hosed | 20:24 |
| alan_m | shazzam, yes | 20:25 |
| soundray | robg_: I've got it under control, thanks ( shazzam) | 20:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | blackcoatman can you find anything in dmesg .. is it an overheating issue, have you installed much from outside our repos etc | 20:25 |
| alan_m | shazzam, it can be found in synaptic, its in the repositories. | 20:25 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: what are you using the machine for? are you using startx to get a gui? | 20:25 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 20:25 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, it originally was installed fresh from a LiveCD 6.06 - i do not remember if we used Desktop ot Server - starting to suspect Server though, since neither 7.10 or 8.04 LiveCD will not boot up to the installer | 20:25 |
| === jorge_ is now known as Jorge_Kolesne | ||
| shazzam | i found it thru google | 20:26 |
| soundray | shazzam: if these are your first steps with Ubuntu, I recommend that you don't try to install it on an external hard disk drive. | 20:26 |
| shazzam | y not? | 20:26 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, well i like to be able to vnc to the desktop - i use this for a 3d graphics render slave | 20:26 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, running Blender 2.46 | 20:26 |
| soundray | shazzam: it's much easier to install Ubuntu on the internal drive, turning your system into a dual-boot one. | 20:26 |
| shazzam | i want to have fun.. ive never even partitioned a hard drive before... | 20:26 |
| shazzam | but then i cant take it around with me | 20:26 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, ordinarily, the machine used to just boot up into gdm lohin windo | 20:27 |
| alan_m | shazzam, you do realize that partitioning could possibly destroy data on a hard drive right? | 20:27 |
| blackcoatman | jack It happens as soon I've freshly installed the distro... the only things i managed to install before it started crashing were esound (after I removed pulse-esound-comp), latest nvidia drivers... this only happens in Hardy | 20:27 |
| shazzam | no... | 20:27 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: oh, so a reinstall wouldn't be too bad as long as you could save your media files? | 20:27 |
| soundray | alan_m: thanks, I've got it under control | 20:27 |
| shazzam | then y wud anyone partition any hard drive | 20:27 |
| soundray | shazzam: this is a new drive, right? | 20:27 |
| blackcoatman | basically it begins with a window... then it spreads all over gnome :P | 20:27 |
| Mattitude | ah, turns out that the reason for using init.d is so pure-ftpd uses the wrapper thing....so I'm back to the first problem again then | 20:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | blackcoatman You might ask in #compiz ... sorry I cant be more help | 20:27 |
| shazzam | yup but ni loaded it wit 30 GB of vids and stuf | 20:28 |
| alan_m | soundray, ok, just putting my mind in on the conversation, you want it its all yours, ill help someone else ;) | 20:28 |
| blackcoatman | window -> could be any window, nautilus, synaptic, the terminal | 20:28 |
| blackcoatman | ok thanks anyway :) | 20:28 |
| Acorn | if i'm going to format my HD and install ubuntu, will it be possible to make another partition for an xp installation at a later point? | 20:28 |
| cgentry72 | ok how do i remove kde4 | 20:28 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, the files eren't even on that machine - they are on an nfs mount on my little network | 20:28 |
| soundray | alan_m: you haven't followed it from the beginning, and you're not fully informed of what shazzam wants to do. | 20:28 |
| alan_m | soundray, i am quite aware of this, thanks for reminding me though. | 20:29 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, just ubuntu and blender are on there ultimately - anything else is just for fun/education | 20:29 |
| shazzam | shazzam want to read a tutorial on partitioning a hard drive and the pros and cons about it | 20:29 |
| CShadowRun | Anyone know how to install gedit plugins? | 20:29 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: well heck, why not just start over? you'd get a better deal with hardy's server kernel | 20:29 |
| soundray | alan_m: if you insist on your part in this, I'll happily back out. | 20:29 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, it's a trusty rusy DP machine that 'just works' | 20:29 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, i tried, but 8.04 Desktop doesn't seem to cope with the 6 drive raid in there | 20:30 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: except for the gdm, that is. Yeah, I'd try "sudo aptitude purge gdm" or whatever first | 20:30 |
| stu | hey guys, anyone in here using a new aluminium iMac ? | 20:30 |
| greeg | crf: thanx pal. that did the trick. sad though how it had to depend on a beta version | 20:30 |
| robg_ | shazzam: you must install Linux on the primary harddisk of your system and it is wise to use gparted to view the process. | 20:30 |
| alan_m | soundray no, your right i dont know the whole story, you do..so please help out, i will happily step down buddy :) | 20:30 |
| === paraita is now known as paraita|afK | ||
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, LiveCD that is - i haven't tried Server yet - i'm pretty sure that 6.06 Desktop was what we used | 20:30 |
| shazzam | so windows shud be taken off? | 20:31 |
| soundray | shazzam: no | 20:31 |
| jimcooncat | stu, we're all using 386sx's with rust on them | 20:31 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, but now i'm not so sure we used Desktop to install - since neither 7.10 or 8. | 20:31 |
| soundray | shazzam: I understand you want to learn stuff, including about partitioning. So my suggestion would be to go about it like this: | 20:31 |
| stu | I need remote control help... (help with the remote control... not help.. remotely) | 20:31 |
| topgun17 | How would i go about installing webmin on a Ubuntu Daper server? | 20:31 |
| robg_ | shazzam: if you want to dual-boot with Windows then you must reduce the partition size of Windows to make space for Linux | 20:31 |
| stu | topgun17: there's a package for it | 20:31 |
| stu | topgun17: from www.webmin.com | 20:32 |
| Y_ | I need help viewing a website that is meant to be seen in IE v.4+. I'm in FireFox, obviously. I know the website will show in FireFox, but I can't get past the "You need IE" warning page. | 20:32 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: well you probably did install dapper server at the time | 20:32 |
| yacc | Stupid question, but I'd like a list of all packages in Hardy that provide x-window-manager? Any hints? | 20:32 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, 04 seems to be able to get the raid going - i remember when we first installed, we popped in the LiveCD, and it ran us all the way thorough from boot, to install, to starting up of HD -- FLAWLESSLY - i was blown away | 20:32 |
| shazzam | so i shud put linux on the internal drive rather than the external? | 20:32 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 20:32 |
| shazzam | y is that safer? | 20:32 |
| soundray | shazzam: install Ubuntu on your internal drive first, so you know the basics of that. Allow the installer to do the partitioning for you, which will give you an initial idea of what it's about. | 20:32 |
| cgentry72 | what does it mean unable to resolve host? | 20:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shazzam easier.. yet | 20:32 |
| marx2k | yaxx: aptitude search <search term> | 20:32 |
| topgun17 | I can't get the webmin packag via apt/ | 20:33 |
| marx2k | cgentry72: DNS server not working | 20:33 |
| soundray | shazzam: even if you install Ubuntu to your external HD, it won't necessarily boot elsewhere. | 20:33 |
| stu | topgun17: download it from webmin website and then dpkg --install packagename | 20:33 |
| CShadowRun | Can someone please tell me how to install a gedit plugin? | 20:33 |
| Starnestommy | cgentry72: what's putting out that error? | 20:33 |
| robg_ | shazzam: you must first check of Windows is not taking all the space on the harddrive. | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !webmin | 20:33 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:33 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: yeah, I know ubuntu's wow factor after using gentoo for a couple years | 20:33 |
| shazzam | if ur telling me to get a feel of it then i shud just get the live cd thingy rite? | 20:33 |
| chn_boy | hello | 20:33 |
| soundray | shazzam: if you want a carry-around-Ubuntu, it's best to use the live CD for that. | 20:33 |
| cgentry72 | Starnestommy: anytime i do a sudo | 20:33 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, we use gentoo at the ISP i work at | 20:34 |
| stu | has anyone got their iMac remote control working in hardy ?? | 20:34 |
| chn_boy | I want to install web server for PHP. | 20:34 |
| chn_boy | what is the best one?? | 20:34 |
| soundray | shazzam: you can use the live CD for an initial impression without installing, and you can use it to install. | 20:34 |
| stu | chn_boy: er apache obviously | 20:34 |
| shazzam | wat is the point of the live cd? | 20:34 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: I gave up on them when their focus went from stability to performance. | 20:34 |
| shazzam | its only temporary? | 20:34 |
| chn_boy | where can i get the apache?? | 20:34 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, i liked gentoo for learning purposes - i like ubunto for it's "just let me use it - i don;t have time to be under the hood right now" | 20:34 |
| Mattitude | well, it appears everyone's too busy, so I'll probably try again later - thanks anyway | 20:34 |
| cgentry72 | Starnestommy: plus anytime it trys to load admin screen it fails. it takes like 3 times for it to finally load | 20:34 |
| _ale_ | chn_boy: apt-get install apache2 | 20:35 |
| chn_boy | can i get it from package manager?? | 20:35 |
| chn_boy | ok | 20:35 |
| robg_ | shazzam: sure just download an .iso image and start it up from your CD-ROM drive and check it out. If you decide to install then you must first make space for Linux by reducing the Windows partition size. | 20:35 |
| Starnestommy | cgentry72: go into recovery mode, then type this: echo "127.0.1.1 `hostname`" >> /etc/hosts | 20:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shazzam a test drive for functionalilty without needing to install, but has the option to install | 20:35 |

| chn_boy | does apache 2 also include mysql?? | 20:35 |
| CShadowRun | Hello? can anyone tell me how to install gedit plugins? | 20:35 |
| shazzam | so nothing i do can be saved because its a test run basicaly? | 20:35 |
| stu | chn_boy: yes via modules | 20:35 |
| cgentry72 | Starnestommy: i assume 'hostname' is my hostname? | 20:35 |
| Starnestommy | chn_boy: no, but you can install the mysql package separately | 20:35 |
| ThreeFinity | Anybody know if having alsa kernel enabled and having normal alsa installed will cause a conflict? | 20:36 |
| _ale_ | chn_boy: you have to install mysql-server | 20:36 |
| Starnestommy | cgentry72: it is | 20:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shazzam there are ways to save changes to a usb drive in what is called persistent mode | 20:36 |

| ThreeFinity | CShadowRun: First of all, getting pushy isn't gonna get you help any faster..most likely will justget you shunned lol. Secodly click system > administration > Synaptic Package Manager, then search for gedit | 20:37 |
| shazzam | i c... wait about that persistent mode thingy.... wats that? | 20:37 |
| stu | seems being pushy does get things done | 20:38 |
| CShadowRun | ThreeFinity actually, i come in here quite often, getting pushy is generally what gets the job done (See, it worked this time too.) | 20:38 |

| ThreeFinity | then extract and compile it ? | 20:38 |
| MrObvious | Toznoshio: You're welcome. I just did a Google for linux wma to mp3 | 20:38 |
| chn_boy | after i install apache2, what should I configure first??? | 20:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shazzam it lets you run livecd without touching your hard drive, but lets you save your changes and addl installed programs to a usb stick | 20:38 |

| stu | !lamp | 20:38 |

| CShadowRun | ThreeFinity, so...do you know how to install it? | 20:41 |
| stu | Starnestommy: thnx | 20:41 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, during the install process i see a lot of "perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C")." | 20:41 |

| ThreeFinity | CShadowRun: reading atm | 20:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shezif What exactly are ou trying to do | 20:41 |
| CShadowRun | ThreeFinity kk :) | 20:41 |
| Starnestommy | shezif: it's a set of directories in /etc including /etc/rcS.d, /etc/rc2.d, and /etc/init.d/ | 20:41 |

| Starnestommy | er... | 20:41 |
| Ximal | does anyone here know a good version or prgram to use to convert vob files to divx files ? | 20:41 |

| soundray | shazzam: it doesn't make a difference, as long as you get 8.04 codenamed Hardy Heron | 20:42 |
| sykopomp | Starnestommy: why so many? -.- | 20:42 |
| * sykopomp mutters more debian-hate | 20:42 | |
| MrObvious | shezif: What kind of software are you wanting to add to Ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| genii | Kamaze: The instructions here are very good, just ignore the crypto parts unless you want them and substitute Hardy for Feisty in the commands given. Also may want to manually do partitioning instead of the auto scheme he uses there. http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ | 20:42 |

| sykopomp | Starnestommy: Now, how do you add/remove default demons? | 20:42 |
| Kamaze | thanks genii, i'll take a look :) | 20:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !tor | 20:43 |
| ubottu | TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 20:43 |

| Andycas | Is there a deb package for flash player 10? | 20:43 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, i'll probably try the same with perl | 20:43 |
| shazzam | @soundray i c... so i shud get that one? what version comes from the ubuntu .com? there is a live cd link there also | 20:43 |
| shezif | MrObvious, This software that can show video from many web sites | 20:43 |
| maxxism | anyone have an idea, why a samsung940bf monitor wont go into 1280x1024 in hardy? I can get 1280x800, but it wont do anything else? I used to have it hooked to a 1080p tv, so I think it is trying to still do widescreen. I am very comfortable in xorg.conf | 20:43 |
| kindofabuzz | Andycas: it's just an .so, the download comes with a script | 20:43 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, not to worried about perl - Blender uses Python | 20:43 |
| MrObvious | shezif: What is it called? | 20:43 |
| shezif | MrObvious, Mazrim | 20:43 |
| Andycas | kindofabuzz: could you give me the link please? | 20:43 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: I don't think you need to touch perl, it's just a locale problem | 20:43 |
| kindofabuzz | Andycas: google adobe flash | 20:43 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, ok | 20:44 |
| shazzam | so i download the desktop cd? | 20:44 |
| Starnestommy | sykopomp: use the update-rc.d program. When making a new script for a daemon, copy /etc/init.d/skeleton to /etc/init.d/<new-daemon-name> then use update-rc.d to add it to the startup list | 20:44 |
| soundray | shazzam: the Desktop CD is the live CD that also contains an installer | 20:44 |
| MrObvious | shezif: Hmm. I've never heard of it. What kind of files are you trying to play? | 20:44 |
| ThreeFinity | CShadowRun: http://elias.hiex.at/gedit-plugins/ try that | 20:44 |
| shazzam | thanks | 20:44 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, here's the final lines of the install of gdm (after purge finished and i installed): " * Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration... * Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended. | 20:44 |

| xStandarshy | Could someone tellm eif there is any easy way to switch from the xfce system to gnome or kde? I am running xubuntu | 20:45 |
| dopievoli_ | so many people..... | 20:45 |
| administrator | hi | 20:45 |
| No1CaNTeL | tia :D | 20:45 |
| Starnestommy | sykopomp: no, sudo update-rc.d -f daemon-name remove, then optionally remove the /etc/init.d/ file, although the one with update-rc.d will just disable it | 20:45 |
| robg_ | Shazzam: do you currently have a linux system to use for download ? | 20:45 |
| CShadowRun | ThreeFinity now that folder definatly doesn't exist... /ome/ wtf? | 20:45 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, i guess i won;t know until i get there | 20:45 |
| danbhfive | shazzam: if you are new to this, don't worry about getting the torrent too much. It just helps the ubuntu.com servers and mirrors, but for now, go for the easiest | 20:45 |

| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:46 |

| robg_ | Shazzam: I got my first Ubuntu from a magazine in a bookstore and used that to upgrade to my current system | 20:47 |
| ThreeFinity | CShadowRun: then check whatever directories it finds for a plugins directory | 20:47 |
| jimcooncat | lukifer_etyrnal: that's true. If you get there and see a console display, try running gdm from it | 20:47 |
| Xsploit | yup im gonna have to remember that :) | 20:47 |

| Jack_Sparrow | oddar yes | 20:48 |
| robg_ | oddar: Gparted is NOT on the ubuntu distributions | 20:48 |
| No1CaNTeL | ty, looking it over now | 20:48 |
| CShadowRun | ThreeFinity there are 2 folders that have plugins dirs, one is /usr/lib/gedit-2 the other is /usr/share/gedit-2 which one? | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ since when | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted | 20:49 |
| ubottu | GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 20:49 |
| danbhfive | robg_: I think its on the live cd | 20:49 |

| lukifer_etyrnal | jimcooncat, but thanks for the info - i know my way around linux - just not a guru =) | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oddar yes | 20:50 |

| robg_ | oddar: you can install Ubuntu withou a Gparted LiveCD, but it is better to have one. | 20:51 |
| No1CaNTeL | Jack_Sparrow: would you mind giving me some suggestions on usage with fsck? I am still quite new to ubuntu and I really dont want to play around with my filesystems without really knowing what I am doing :P | 20:51 |
| genii | gwern: It is basically saying that the ramdisk it is trying to load the casper image from (the livecd kernel) is bad | 20:51 |
| shazzam | is it good? like does it have all the functions of mirc or no? | 20:51 |
| No1CaNTeL | flag wise that is^ | 20:51 |
| gwern | genii: it's a .04 livecd, which I had mailed to me. would they be broken? | 20:51 |
| Starnestommy | shazzam: it has most of them. If you want to run mIRC, you could run it with wine | 20:51 |
| gwern | it doesn't *look* scratched or anything | 20:51 |
| shazzam | ive heard of that.. it lest u ruin windows apps rite? | 20:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL I am about to call it a day, I would rather not drop you in the middle of a problem | 20:52 |
| Starnestommy | shazzam: yes | 20:52 |
| oddar | robg_ my ubuntu is already installed, I want to repartition so that i can install a second distro | 20:52 |
| shazzam | im getting ahead of myslef.... let me install it first | 20:52 |
| DJones | shazzam: its pretty good, fairly similar to mirc, its also available for windows as well | 20:52 |
| No1CaNTeL | all good :D | 20:52 |
| genii | gwern: Although it may be that the initramfs image in this case does not contain the proper driver to understand your hard drive controller and so fails | 20:52 |
| gwern | genii: if the image is bad, what sort of output could I expect from the test-cd option? iirc, it gives the same console output as trying to install or run ubuntu | 20:52 |

| genii | gwern: OK. I *suspect* it is due to not knowing what driver to use then fo the hd/dvd controller. Do you have some external usb cd/dvd drive to boot from instead? | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL You are not trying to move a mounted partition are you | 20:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ No1CaNTeL Is running live cd atm and confirmed gparted is included GParted 0.3.5 | 20:59 |

| alexandru | i have a problem configuring apache+php. it doesn't work... no php files are executed, but the php code is shown | 21:04 |
| katatsumuri | sd_: oh, neither had any installation candidate, though :( | 21:04 |
| martin78 | zonem: Nothing happens when I press alt+F2. Im stuck with the desktop... wait.. I'll try that from remote... | 21:05 |
| dandel | anyone else here having a lot of issues with the latest ATI driver that came out? ( like massive rendering problems when compiz is disabled. ) | 21:05 |
| zonem | !lamp | 21:05 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:05 |
| ihcus | ajopaul: i am unable to see the buttons shutdown and reboot on the logoff panel | 21:05 |
| erUSUL | !lamp | alexandru | 21:05 |
| ubottu | alexandru: please see above | 21:05 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: My advise is to install Linux1. Then load Gparted LiveCD and reduce the Linux1 partition. Then Install Linux2. | 21:05 |
| ajopaul | ihcus, what are all the buttons visible then ? | 21:05 |
| dandel | oh and also issues with the compiz when using 1600x1200. | 21:05 |
| sd_ | katatsumuri: hmm, then its already in there ... so all you need is an input server ... try to pick something from: apt-cache search "japanese input" | 21:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dandel try /join #compiz | 21:06 |
| sd_ | katatsumuri: im not exactly sure since i'm not using gnome :/ | 21:06 |
| dandel | Jack_Sparrow, it's not a compiz issue, it's completely driver based. | 21:06 |
| zonem | why i try to run system -> users and groups every button is grey anyone know why or how to fix it? | 21:06 |
| ruben | I have a problem with udev. It fails to start, causing my hard drives to be unmounted. This is on ubuntu hardy | 21:06 |
| ru_ | zonem, click admin mode | 21:07 |
| ihcus | ajopaul: the buttonsvisible are logout,suspend,hibernate,lock screen,switch user | 21:07 |
| zonem | ru_ where can i find admin mode button? | 21:07 |
| dandel | i went back to the april release of fglrx because of how many issues i spotted. | 21:07 |
| zonem | xfce | 21:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dandel np, I just know they are good with working on those drivers and issues | 21:07 |
| ru_ | zonem, it's called "unlock" in that dialog | 21:07 |
| No1CaNTeL | robg_: you are losing me on this linux1 linux2 thing, linux is installed, windows is also installed, I am trying to just resize one of my larger partitions and them move the partition over so I can then add the extra space to my windows partition | 21:07 |
| ruben | I tried starting it from syssettings-services, but fails starting the kernel event manager | 21:07 |
| ajopaul | ihcus, killall gnome-panel ? | 21:07 |
| zonem | ru_ unlock is grey | 21:07 |
| katatsumuri | sd_: ah I see. I remember having no problems with this in 7.04/7.10, it's first now in 8.04 it gives me problem | 21:07 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: this happens when gdm is not the display manager | 21:07 |
| dandel | it involves a lot of problems, Jack_Sparrow. | 21:07 |
| ru_ | zonem, that's bad :| | 21:07 |
| No1CaNTeL | I will try the gparted live disc though, is there much difference between that and the one included on the live cd? | 21:07 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: are you sure you are using gdm...and not kdm or some other? | 21:08 |
| zonem | ru_ i know lol | 21:08 |
| I440r | ok, im having some problems with ubuntu. ive installed it on an external USB drive with grub installed on the EXTERNAL drive, NOT on my main boot device. when i tell the computer to boot to the external drive i get the grub menu | 21:08 |
| lars_bauer | how do i open a <name>.acu file ? | 21:08 |
| genii | gwern: Apologies for lag, work required me. The text installer will use parted and not gparted. But same back-end to both | 21:08 |
| I440r | but when i select a drive it tells me "cannot mount selected partition" | 21:08 |
| ihcus | ajopaul: yes i did that but nothing happened all the applets on the panel disappeared and appeared again thats it | 21:08 |
| sd_ | katatsumuri: also, i'm using 7.10 .. 8.x was far too much experimental, not just in matters of language inputs :) | 21:08 |
| ajopaul | ihcus, beats me | 21:08 |
| dandel | i've already got it figured out for the most part... 1600x1200 is a broken resolution with gnome and the latest fglrx driver. | 21:08 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: Gparted LiveCD can safely perform two operations: delete a partition and reduce a partition in size. Advise against any other operations. | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL Different, but clean and easy to work with.. If you have partition magic, I would just use it | 21:08 |
| zonem | ru_ running sudo xfce-panel doesn't help, any ideas as to what I can do to run in admin mode? | 21:08 |
| ihcus | anirudh0: hi man...u look india..i dont know what i am using | 21:08 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: go to the normal ubuntu install and post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | I do, it's a bit older but should be able to do the trick | 21:09 |
| I440r | anirudh0, i cant | 21:09 |
| ihcus | anirudh: can u tell me how do we check if i am running it or not ? | 21:09 |
| genii | gwern: Alternate CD also has advantage that you can switch to Console4 with ctrl-alt-f4 to see what errors are being generated which is helpful | 21:09 |
| I440r | but its root is (hd1,1) | 21:09 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: ? | 21:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL #7 or#8 | 21:09 |
| zonem | ru_ any other IRC channels might be able to help you can recommend? | 21:09 |
| I440r | im in windows. | 21:09 |
| I440r | i cannot get online on this machine from linux | 21:09 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: in terminal type ps -A|grep gdm | 21:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | has to be partition magic 7 or 8 eh? | 21:09 |
| ihcus | ajopaul : anyway thanks for your help man.. | 21:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | kk | 21:09 |
| ru_ | zonem, there's no "admin mode", i was talking about the unlock button. you could try "sudo users-admin", but when i do that, everything is greyed out for me | 21:09 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: is your partition type reiserfs? | 21:10 |
| I440r | no | 21:10 |
| No1CaNTeL | now if I still run into this bad sector issue, do you have any other suggestions (other then drive replacement?? :P ) | 21:10 |
| I440r | ext3 | 21:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL The cutoff for ext3 is in there somewhere | 21:10 |
| ajopaul | ihcus, let me check .. | 21:10 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: there are ext3 drivers for windows | 21:10 |
| I440r | there are? | 21:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL Partition around the error, or try hirens cd... google to find that | 21:10 |
| I440r | ! | 21:10 |
| I440r | brb lol | 21:10 |
| katatsumuri | sd_: hehe, i guess so. was just too lazy to mess around with webcam/sound drivers and such again ;) | 21:10 |
| I440r | omg wt*$^(* lol | 21:11 |
| ihcus | 5562 ? 00:00:00 gdm | 21:11 |
| ihcus | 5565 ? 00:00:00 gdm | 21:11 |
| ihcus | this is what i get! | 21:11 |
| No1CaNTeL | will do, just wish there was a way to mount the nix partitions in my windows install so I can just do a chkdsk /f/r | 21:11 |
| No1CaNTeL | :P | 21:11 |
| martin78 | zonem: It says "gnome-panel: no process killed" It's Not running from the beginning? | 21:11 |
| zonem | ru_ i know, still unlock button is grey...not sure how to graphically edit user information otherwise. | 21:11 |
| ajopaul | ihcus, in any case u can shutdown using sudo poweroff :) | 21:11 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: hmm...then gdm is running. | 21:11 |
| zonem | martin78 that is likely | 21:11 |
| anirudh0 | ajopaul: that way...you can do everything from the terminal :) | 21:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL not sure that would be a good idea even if it worked | 21:12 |
| zonem | try starting gnome-panel & | 21:12 |
| No1CaNTeL | :P yeah, fgured as much, but it would still be nice :P | 21:12 |
| martin78 | zonem: Ok, you know how to start it? | 21:12 |
| leo_ | hi | 21:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL ext2fs to read ext3 in windows | 21:12 |
| ihcus | ajopaul: i am using shutdown now and it isn't shutting down and all it does is logs out and logs in again ... | 21:12 |
| robg_ | No1CanTeL: strongly advise against easy fixes and shortcuts. | 21:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL Wife is here with lunch, good luck... | 21:12 |
| gwern | genii: ok, that's good to hear. I'm wgetting the alternate 8.04 x86_64 installer now | 21:13 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: sudo /sbin/poweroff | 21:13 |
| zonem | martin78, in your bash window type "gnome-panel &" | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | No1CaNTeL I can agree with robg_ on that point | 21:13 |
| gwern | then hopefully I will be able to burn it or something | 21:13 |
| alexandru | i've tried ubottu suggestion. i still cannot correctly execute php files | 21:13 |
| smev81 | I want to install ubuntustudio. It says kernel version does not match kernel modules on mirrors and that was it. | 21:13 |
| No1CaNTeL | ty :P and no I will not do the chkdsk on them, that was more a joke then anything. but I did want to know how to mount them so I can move files back and forth, should that be ok to do? | 21:13 |
| ihcus | anirudh: this thing may power off the system...now and i dont want to do it now... | 21:13 |
| I440r | ok i installed the ext2 driver in windows but during the install i get one of those STUPID "the system cannot find the specified file" which fails to specify which specified file it was unable to locate | 21:13 |
| I440r | ugh | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smev81 What version of ubuntu are you running | 21:13 |
| smev81 | i try to install 8.04 | 21:13 |
| genii | gwern: If it still doesn't install, then at least the error output may tell us why. Also on Consoles 2 and 3 you can obtain a command prompt from which to insert modules or so forth if needed | 21:13 |
| n3uromanc3r | !ati | 21:14 |
| ihcus | anirudh: any point in putting it in the applet ... | 21:14 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smev81 Also note, they have a channel of their own too. | 21:14 |

| r00723r0 | Does Ubuntu have DNSPython? | 21:14 |
| anirudh0 | No..: there is an ext3 driver for win....and _maybe__ a reiserfs one...but why do you want to do that anyway? | 21:14 |
| smev81 | no response there. it might be a problem related to minimal install, since it bases on it | 21:14 |
| MrKeuner | hi, what does apt-ceche do every once in a while, causing a lot of system load? | 21:14 |
| No1CaNTeL | anirudh0: you talking to me? | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smev81 What version of ubuntu are you running, you are trying to install 8.04, but what are you currently running for a distro or release | 21:14 |
| anirudh0 | yes | 21:14 |
| martin78 | zonem: It says its not installed .... weird... Installing... | 21:14 |
| ajopaul | r00723r0, yes python-dnspython | 21:15 |
| r00723r0 | ajopaul, what's preferred - python-dnspython, python-dns, or python-adns? | 21:15 |
| anirudh0 | No..,: your name is too long to type...and there is no tab completion in irc :( | 21:15 |
| zonem | martin78, erueka! | 21:15 |
| smev81 | currently mandriva | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !tab | 21:15 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:15 |
| No1CaNTeL | well, I go back and forth between the two, and when I am writing a program I am consistently swapping back and forth to test compatibility, it is easier to access the same folder from whichever I am running at the time | 21:15 |
| I440r | ok i have access to the grub.conf what do you wnat me to do ? | 21:15 |
| No1CaNTeL | I normally use a v-box install for windows | 21:15 |
| No1CaNTeL | but I miss my games :P | 21:15 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: did'nt get you...what do you mean by putting in applet? | 21:16 |
| ajopaul | r00723r0, each package are for its diff purposes | 21:16 |
| anirudh0 | Jack_Sparrow: thnx | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smev81 You cant do studio on ubuntu from mandriva.. /join #mandriva | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 21:16 |
| gwern | anirudh0: tab completion is handled by the irc client. if your irc client doesn't do tab completion, get a decent one (which will) | 21:16 |
| martin78 | zonem: ....But I saw the toolbars just an hour ago.... Now on restart they where gone... | 21:16 |
| r00723r0 | ajopaul, which one is used most often, and which one is able to check whether or not a domain is registered? | 21:16 |
| No1CaNTeL | anirudh0: was just checking, although I think it is your client that does not have the tab function, mine works ok :P | 21:16 |
| smev81 | i will overvrite the partition with mandriva anyways | 21:16 |
| zonem | martin78 did you install ubuntu-desktop meta package | 21:16 |
| zonem | ? | 21:16 |
| No1CaNTeL | using pigdin off of the live cd | 21:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | martin78 I need to run. but try compiz --replace | 21:17 |
| anirudh0 | gwern: using pidgin...just did'nt know it worked | 21:17 |
| ajopaul | r00723r0, python-dnspython try this if its useful | 21:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smev81 You are in the wrong channel for the help you need | 21:17 |
| ihcus | anirudh: i want to use it as a button in the logoff panel ....i want to use reboot and shutdown as buttons in the panel | 21:17 |
| leo_ | hi | 21:17 |
| I440r | anirudh0, where do you want me to post menu.lst to? | 21:17 |
| No1CaNTeL | k, time to find my partition magic | 21:17 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: pastebin.ubuntu.com | 21:18 |
| martin78 | zonem: Naaa... I removed evolution and some syuff that evolution used + installed vlc | 21:18 |
| leo_ | jack? | 21:18 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: did you update gdm during the current user session? | 21:18 |
| smev81 | you think the ubuntu-studio channel is my last hope? | 21:18 |
| ihcus | anirudh: how do we update gdm? | 21:18 |
| I440r | anirudh0, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14172/ | 21:18 |
| leo_ | what is the last version of ubuntu ? | 21:19 |
| zonem | !synaptic | 21:19 |
| ubottu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 21:19 |
| ihcus | anirudh: i removed somethin from the add remove programs and after that it had gone ... | 21:19 |

| leo_ | okay thank you | 21:19 |
| ihcus | anirudh: tum kaha rehte ho india mein ? | 21:19 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: what exactly did you remove. | 21:20 |
| leo_ | could you give me a link? | 21:20 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: PM..main chat is not meant for this | 21:20 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: hmm..your menu.lst points to hd1,1 | 21:20 |
| ihcus | anirudh: i didnt know what i removed :( ...gud u r professional ... | 21:20 |
| I440r | correct | 21:20 |
| Starnestommy | leo_: wait, I think the previous version was 7.10. The current one is 8.04 | 21:20 |
| I440r | i do NOT want the ubuntu grub installed on hd0,0 | 21:20 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: cant help you without that info | 21:20 |
| I440r | i want it installed on the EXTERNAL drive | 21:21 |
| TehMongoose | leo_: did you want a link to the download page? | 21:21 |
| zonem | ru_ trying ked-guidance...see if it works better. based on forum policykit is bugged... | 21:21 |
| I440r | im telling my machine to boot directly from the MBR of the external drive. | 21:21 |
| shelby | Can someone please tell me how to get the universal repos? | 21:21 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: I meant ...was linux installed in the first partition in the external drive or the second one? | 21:21 |
| martin78 | zonem: It works now! Thanks! If you are ever in Mariestad, Sweden I've got a few beers with your name on them :) | 21:21 |
| leo_ | yes | 21:21 |
| joooj | how can you check your hardware from command line? | 21:21 |
| I440r | the grub on said external drive is "not able to mount the selected partition" | 21:21 |
| TehMongoose | leo_: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 21:21 |
| ihcus | anirudh: how do i restore ubuntu .....like restore to newly installed | 21:21 |
| sd_ | joooj: lspci | 21:21 |
| I440r | first partition is swap. second partition is ext3 | 21:21 |
| I440r | sorry | 21:21 |
| Starnestommy | leo_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 for 7.10, or http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download for 8.04 | 21:22 |
| anirudh0 | ihcus: install it again from a livecd...you'll use your settings though | 21:22 |
| joooj | how can I see how much ram and processor speed from command line? | 21:22 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: strange then....try booting from the recovery kernel | 21:23 |

| I440r | did that, same error | 21:23 |
| Barnabas | hi all | 21:23 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: it is a verbose version of the same kernel...so if anything works at all, you should see some output | 21:23 |
| I440r | "unable to mount selected partition" | 21:24 |
| I440r | same error | 21:24 |
| asathoor | anyone here with an fujitsu siemens esprimo v5535? How can I configure the graphic driver? | 21:24 |

| anirudh0 | I440r: no output at all before the "cannot mount...." ? | 21:24 |
| I440r | nope | 21:24 |

| ThreeFinity | Would everything work normally on a ubuntu 64bit distro if 32bit emulation was enabled in the kernel ? | 21:26 |
| MrKeuner | hi, what does apt-ceche do every once in a while, causing a lot of system load? | 21:26 |
| anirudh0 | ThreeFinity: everything ...possibly except flash | 21:27 |
| robg_ | anirudh0: the drive is formatted before the OS is writen on it. | 21:27 |
| asathoor | Graphics Controller SiS Mirage 3+ 256MB DDR2 SDRAM Shared ... | 21:27 |
| ThreeFinity | I'd like to get more juice outta my cpu, but I don't wanna be restricted to using like 3 programs that support 64bit lol | 21:27 |
| ru_ | ThreeFinity, no, but there are workarounds | 21:27 |
| glennvd | does annyone know why my brand new XPS hangs when booting ubuntu (7.10) from disk ( hangs at loading boot script 9 out of 10 times) while it runs smoothly on my 5 year old pc? | 21:27 |
| anirudh0 | robg_: agreed...but what about that? | 21:27 |
| ru_ | ThreeFinity, check the 64bit forum at ubuntuforums.org | 21:27 |
| I440r | :/ | 21:27 |
| whogotsomo | /msg ubottu etiquette | 21:27 |
| marathe25 | ThreeFinity: Java works on 64bit, I can confirm | 21:27 |
| ThreeFinity | glennvd: linux is all about having gfood support for older hardware, but as new stuff comes out the support has to be created by people who don't get paid or anything lol so it could take a while | 21:28 |
| robg_ | anirudh0: if the formatting is correct and the install is correct then everything should work. | 21:28 |
| ThreeFinity | glennvd: either that or it's just setup wrong | 21:28 |
| zonem | asathoor http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-450176.html ? | 21:28 |
| asathoor | zonem >> thanx | 21:28 |
| ThreeFinity | cool marathe25 | 21:28 |
| I440r | erm. i just learned in #gentoo that the powers that be have MODIFIED the definition of the ext3 file system | 21:28 |
| whogotsomo | does anyone know where the error log is for boot errors? | 21:28 |
| zonem | asathoor, GL | 21:28 |
| I440r | I440r: new ext3 filesystems have 256 byte inodes... .. . | 21:28 |
| I440r | could THAT be my problem? | 21:29 |

| DarkSideMoon | haloo | 21:32 |
| movedx | If you install something with 'apt-get source <app> --compile', does it download the source, compile it AND install the app, or just compile it in the local directory? | 21:32 |
| whogotsomo | does anyone know how to retrieve the boot error logs? | 21:32 |
| Starnestommy | whogotsomo: dmesg? | 21:33 |
| DarkSideMoon | jest tu ktos??? | 21:33 |

| DarkSideMoon | haloo :) nice too meet you | 21:34 |
| amrik | Hi, I am having trouble getting my sound to work in Ubuntu. Where can I start to troubleshoot? | 21:34 |
| zonem | !alsa | 21:34 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:34 |
| movedx | MrObvious: I think '--compile' compiles the source to a binary .deb file - so... what goes is that exactly? Heh! Does it compile it to a binary .deb, therefore optimizing the .deb to your system? | 21:34 |
| anirudh0 | robg_: i meant...it dose'nt explain why the partition should refuse to get mounted. | 21:34 |
| anirudh0 | if the problem was incomplete writing of the partition, then I440r would have seen something like "/bin/bash: no such file or directort" | 21:34 |
| anirudh0 | *directory | 21:34 |
| amrik | err, its more under the lines of "hda-intel: no codec found". ubuntu sees the device on the pci bus but isn't getting the driver module loaded into the kernel | 21:34 |
| Chousuke | movedx: question: why are you compiling packages that are in apt? | 21:34 |
| robg_ | amrik: you may want to download the medibuntu.org multimedia repository. | 21:35 |
| movedx | Chousuke: I never said I was, I merely asking the question; because I want to. | 21:35 |
| hexoroid | whats ipp service ? | 21:35 |
| zonem | !policykit | 21:35 |
| ubottu | Factoid policykit not found | 21:35 |
| zonem | grr | 21:35 |
| I440r | anirudh0, when i boot the external drives grub and select "boot the windows parition" entry i get "unsupported executable format" | 21:35 |
| Chousuke | movedx: Well, I would assume it builds a .deb | 21:35 |
| a514 | Hi There, How do i install kubuntu cdrom in ubuntu without a internet connection? | 21:35 |
| amrik | robg_: OK I already have that enabled. Is there a particular package you had in mind? | 21:35 |
| movedx | Chousuke: That *IS* what it does - I just said that. | 21:35 |
| Fishscene | I just reformatted my external USB drive with ext3. I don't have write-access to it anymore and 7.5 GB is used. Any idea how to rectify this? | 21:36 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 21:36 |
| I440r | but booting ANY linux partition including my gentoo on hte internal drive gives me "unable to mount selected partition " | 21:36 |
| robg_ | amrik: for sound Pulse Audio, for graphics delete Open | 21:36 |
| robg_ | OpenJDK and install Sun Java | 21:36 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: I am not sure what the problem is...but if even windows does'nt boot , then grub might be at fault | 21:36 |
| I440r | i currently do not have a grub installed on the internal drive because of an upgrade to grub in gentoo STOMPING on my stage files | 21:36 |
| amrik | robg_: If it helps I have Intel ICH7 and sigmatel STAC9227 codec. The issue seems to not be pulse but the hda-intel kernel module | 21:36 |
| shelby | My Radeon x1650 Pro 512MB black screens on startup with the drivers that Ubuntu comes with. Anyone have any suggestions? | 21:36 |
| zonem | ru_ i have dbus now | 21:36 |
| a514 | Hi There, How do i install Kubuntu cdrom with synpatic repositories offline? | 21:36 |
| amrik | robg_: this is evidenced by the fact that pulse works fine with my usb audio device | 21:36 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: you could try restoring from a live cd | 21:37 |
| robg_ | amirk: if you go the medibuntu.org they will give 2 two codecs: w32codecs and libdvdcss2 | 21:37 |
| I440r | this is an older install cd that i just reinstalled to the external drive... when i first installed i did it on a different machine and ubuntu installed the grub to that machines internal drive. | 21:37 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: I would assume you need to change the permissions on the drive. | 21:37 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: did'nt get you...gentoo lives in another partition...right | 21:37 |
| dandel | shelby, it happens to even me... install the fglrx driver from the ubuntu repository and that should fix it... i had the same issue. | 21:37 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: it might be owned by roo | 21:37 |
| ru_ | zonem, does that help with the buttons? | 21:37 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: root* | 21:37 |
| Fishscene | Chousuke, any idea how to do that? | 21:37 |
| I440r | i had to FIX that with a windows disk. reinstalled to external drive telling ubunto to put ITS boot sector on the external drive | 21:37 |
| Fishscene | I just can't figure out why 7.5 GB is used on a blank drive =\ | 21:37 |
| amrik | robg_: I really don't think its a software codec problem. I think it is a hardware issue | 21:38 |
| whogotsomo | cd /var/log/boot/ says othign has been logged yet, but i turned on logging | 21:38 |
| whogotsomo | is there anyway else to see the error message? | 21:38 |
| zonem | ru_ no change after install of dbus...is there something else I should do? | 21:38 |
| I440r | gentoo lives on /dev/sda4 | 21:38 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: not with a GUI. It's possible, but i have no idea how to use the gui tools :P | 21:38 |
| dandel | shelby, just make sure that you don't get the 8.5 driver, since the card you have might not work well with it ( my Radeon X1900 does not like the 8.5 driver) | 21:38 |
| I440r | ubuntu lives on /dev/sdb2 | 21:38 |
| Fishscene | lol | 21:38 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: on the terminal, chown username:groupname /path/to/drive | 21:38 |
| zonem | whogotsomo sudo find / |grep boot.log | 21:38 |
| shelby | Thanks, dandel. I tried to fglrx driver, if you mean the one from the synaptic package manager, and had the same results. Any other ideas? | 21:38 |
| zonem | or if you are adventerious sudo find / |grep *.log | 21:39 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: then install a grub on the internal drive first..from a live cd that is | 21:39 |
| zonem | err just .log | 21:39 |
| robg_ | amrik: you can also consider players like VLC, Mplayer, Audacious, gxine | 21:39 |
| I440r | no | 21:39 |
| I440r | definately NOT | 21:39 |
| Chousuke | zonem: whogotsomo: sudo find / -name "*.log" is better | 21:39 |
| dandel | shelby, did you try this command by any chance? aticonfig --initial | 21:39 |
| I440r | this drive HAS to have its own boot sector and grub.conf | 21:39 |
| a514 | Hi I have the offical 8.04 Kubuntu cdrom, how do i add it to Ubuntu with synaptic offline, without a connection and share a partition? | 21:39 |
| zonem | ahh -name...always forget about that | 21:39 |
| Fishscene | Chousuke: The command went through, but permissions did not change | 21:39 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: hmm | 21:39 |
| I440r | it will be booted from different locations. | 21:39 |
| ru_ | zonem, i'm sorry, i'm out of ideas for now. in your case i would search ubuntuforums.org for any hints. | 21:39 |
| zonem | ru_ ok thanks | 21:40 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: can you run ls -ld /path/to/drive and tell me what it says? | 21:40 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: i meant get something working first on you main hdd | 21:40 |
| amrik | robg_: dude, nevermind. I've confirmed its a hardware bug. | 21:40 |
| Killthrill | hello all | 21:40 |
| Fishscene | brw-rw---- 1 administrator disk 8, 17 2008-05-23 13:34 /dev/sdb1 | 21:40 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: if its a hardware issue then all sound must fail..right? | 21:40 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: ah | 21:41 |
| I440r | anirudh0, it WAS working in that manner, its pointless getting it working thusly on THIS machine as this drive is never going to be USED here | 21:41 |
| shelby | dandel, I followed the instructions on the ATI wiki, so I did the sudo aticonfig --initial -f command. | 21:41 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: that's wrong | 21:41 |
| I440r | im just doing the install here | 21:41 |
| amrik | anirudh0: no that's not necessarily true. It is just a particular module isn't loading into the kernel. | 21:41 |
| tichou | hi everyone | 21:41 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: I meant the *mount point* of the disk, not the device file | 21:41 |
| sedra | hello | 21:41 |
| tichou | i need some help for installing Football manager 2008 with wine. am i on the right channel? | 21:41 |
| amrik | anirudh0: I have other sound cards as well, which is why I can still hear sound. It is just this particular one is not working. | 21:41 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: i faced a problem like this during one of hardy-devel cycles | 21:41 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: in which directory is the drive mounted? (run "mount" without parameters to find out) | 21:41 |
| Starnestommy | tichou: try #winehq | 21:41 |
| tichou | thx dude | 21:42 |
| Fishscene | just a sec.. | 21:42 |
| Killthrill | can anyone suggest a good bittorrent client for ubuntu? the transmission version that comes with 8.04 is kinda old | 21:42 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: turned out the kernel team had forgotten to compile some modules into the newer kernel | 21:42 |
| Fishscene | /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 21:42 |
| dandel | killthrill, i recommend using deluge. | 21:42 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: regressing to a older kernel solved it | 21:42 |
| Sonja | is there an easy programming language for Ubuntu that lets me display windows with questions, clicky buttons and display images? | 21:42 |
| Sonja | i guess i could just use html | 21:42 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: okay, so you need to check the permissions on /media/disk/ | 21:42 |
| Fishscene | /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 21:42 |
| anirudh0 | Sonja: python | 21:42 |
| sedra | sonja: python | 21:42 |
| Fishscene | sorry, "drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-05-23 11:28 /media/disk" | 21:43 |
| Killthrill | is deluge in the standard repository? | 21:43 |
| amrik | anirudh0: hmm. I think I've tried to compile 2.6.25 from kernel.org and that didn't really seem to help, it just broke sound worse (although I might have been noobing it up) | 21:43 |
| jagggy | is it posible to do gnome-terminal -x ls and let the terminal stay open? | 21:43 |
| fxfitz | Can someone help me set up a samba server (or point me to a GOOD tutorial)? | 21:43 |
| zonem | !python > sonja | 21:43 |
| anirudh0 | hey...could I440r's problem be a permissions issue? | 21:43 |
| shelby | dandel, I followed the instructions on the ATI wiki, so I did the sudo aticonfig --initial -f command. | 21:43 |
| Sonja | thanks i'll take it to #python | 21:43 |
| zonem | !samba | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 21:43 |
| anirudh0 | but do permissions come into play so soon into the boot process? | 21:43 |
| I440r | how can it be a permissions issue? | 21:43 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: right. as you can see, it's owned by root | 21:43 |
| Rat409 | soneil: zenity's a part of gnome | 21:43 |
| Fishscene | ...brb | 21:43 |
| jagggy | is it posible to do 'gnome-terminal -x ls' and let the terminal stay open? | 21:43 |
| tichou | nobody response on #winehq :( | 21:44 |
| zonem | jagggy, try it and find out | 21:44 |
| amrik | anirudh0: also the hda-intel module is *there*, it just isn't *working*. Note that before it would sometimes randomly work, maybe 1/100 of the time. | 21:44 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: run "sudo chown youruser:youruser /media/disk/" to change it to your user. | 21:44 |
| jagggy | zonem ye, but it closes terminal, but how to let it stay open | 21:44 |
| anirudh0 | it makes no sense for an ext3 drive not to be mounted...so i am trying out all unlikely theories :) | 21:44 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: whats the kernel version | 21:44 |
| Fishscene | Chousuke, Fixed now. I changed the ownership | 21:44 |
| Fishscene | Thanks :) | 21:44 |
| zonem | jagggy what does -x switch to? | 21:45 |
| zonem | do? | 21:45 |
| jagggy | execute | 21:45 |
| Chousuke | I think ubuntu could use a simple tool for managing ownership on external drives. | 21:45 |
| amrik | anirudh0: uname -r => 2.6.24-17-generic | 21:45 |
| zonem | jagggy execute then return? | 21:45 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 21:45 |
| dandel | shelby, ok, so you did the ubuntu method right? well do the manual method now and download the 8.4 driver... http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/previous/linux-rf-cat84.html | 21:45 |
| jagggy | yes zonem | 21:45 |
| Sonja | also is python able to somehow lock down my Ubuntu to force me to go through this questions program before being able to open or tab to any other program? i want to design a "to do" list prompter that forces me to answer the questions and accompilsh tasks before i'm allowed to play on my computer | 21:45 |
| jagggy | but i need it to stay open | 21:45 |
| Chousuke | it's very confusing for the average user, especially because the filesystem makes a big difference to how it works :/ | 21:45 |
| Fishscene | Chousuke, Now for the hard part. :P How do I reclaim my "used" 7.6 GB of data? | 21:45 |
| kindofabuzz | Chousuke: they do, it's called the command line | 21:45 |
| kllj | irc://irc.freenode.net/Chousuke,isnick | 21:45 |
| homeofpoe | I installed Mayanna via configuring/make install/etc... but I don't know how to remove it. It's not in the package manager. Do I just delete the folder? | 21:45 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: that's not a simple tool by far. | 21:46 |
| Fishscene | I have a "Lost+found" directory on the drive that appears everytime I reformat | 21:46 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: as you said..the kernel module is there...but i had a similar problem with this kernel version ...i am now running 2.6.24.26 | 21:46 |
| dandel | shelby, although you will need to remove the fglrx packages you have installed right now to fix the issue though. | 21:46 |
| anirudh0 | *2.6.24.16 | 21:46 |
| Sonja | i have extreme ADHD and need a tool to tell me what to do, and stop me from doing other things. maybe it could simply disconnect me from the internet as a way to lock the computer. | 21:46 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: it might be "reserved" by root | 21:46 |
| zonem | jagggy -x is for scripting, why not just run gnome-terminal by itself it should stay open | 21:46 |
| I440r | this error occurrs BEFORE the kernel is loaded | 21:46 |
| kindofabuzz | Chousuke: yes it is, once you do it once, it's easy, i'm sure there are plenty of guides on how to do it | 21:46 |
| shelby | All right, dandel. Thanks a lot. | 21:46 |
| ariqs | sonja: write the tool for yourself ;P | 21:46 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: that's the non-simple part right there. | 21:46 |
| jagggy | zonem, because it needs to execute a line ... | 21:46 |
| anirudh0 | I440r: sorry...last post not to you | 21:46 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: "once you do it" | 21:46 |
| I440r | oh lol ok :) | 21:46 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: as you said..the kernel module is there...but i had a similar problem with this kernel version ...i am now running 2.6.24.26 | 21:47 |
| kindofabuzz | Chousuke: google is your buddie | 21:47 |
| anirudh0 | *2.6.24.16 | 21:47 |
| a514 | Hi how do i add kubuntu cdrom packages into ubuntu offline with synaptic? Thanks | 21:47 |
| zonem | jagggy idk, sorry | 21:47 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: the cli is simple and easy and powerful if you're used to it, but it's not attractive to most users | 21:47 |
| jagggy | k, ty zonem | 21:47 |
| amrik | anirudh0: well I have 2.6.24-16 linux-image installed as well in parallel with -17, booting into it doesn't help. | 21:47 |
| jagggy | is it posible to do gnome-terminal -x ls and let the terminal stay open? | 21:47 |
| kindofabuzz | Chousuke: command line is part of linux, if you don't wanna use it, they should stay with windows | 21:48 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: that's not the point. | 21:48 |
| insomnia | i want to burn an .avi to a cd.... im running ubuntu 8.04... what do i need to be able to burn a disc? the built in one, only lets me burn cd images if im not mistaken...? | 21:48 |
| amrik | anirudh0: I know I'm not being very helpful, but the only reason I went to hardy-proposed kernel was to see if it would fix my sound | 21:48 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: having to use the command line for something as simple as getting an external drive configured is asking too much | 21:48 |
| kindofabuzz | Chousuke: there's not gonna be a gui for everything | 21:48 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: I know that. | 21:48 |
| zonem | brb | 21:48 |
| jagggy | is it posible to do gnome-terminal -x ls and let the terminal stay open?.?.?.?.?.?.?.? | 21:48 |

| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: but this is something that could use a GUI | 21:48 |
| kindofabuzz | Chousuke: what are you exactly trying to do? | 21:48 |
| Fishscene | Chousuke, I agree that my situation was (and still is) rediculous =( | 21:49 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: I'm not trying to do anything | 21:49 |

| anirudh0 | amrik: i joined in a bit late(only after you told about the module)..what is the exact error message that you said you were getting? | 21:49 |
| Chousuke | kindofabuzz: I just helped Fishscene fix his permissions and thought about the GUI. | 21:49 |

| Fishscene | Ok folks. My external USB drive is completely empty in both the GUI and the terminal. However, the GUI reports 7.6GB is used on the drive. How do I reclaim this? | 21:50 |
| insomnia | anirudh0: thnx | 21:50 |
| amrik | anirudh0: here is a pastebin of my alsa-info if you want it, http://pastebin.ca/1027393 | 21:50 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: anyway, I was saying, a part of ext3 filesystems are usually reserved for root | 21:50 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: so that root has space to work with when stuff gets filled up | 21:50 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: it's tunable, though. | 21:50 |
| kindofabuzz | Fishscene: format it? or you wanna save what's on there? | 21:50 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: I just don't remember how... | 21:50 |
| fserve | by using ubuntu 64 there is any problem? | 21:50 |
| fserve | like dont have flash or java? | 21:50 |

| revengervn | hi | 21:51 |
| zon | jagggy try googling for bash scripting | 21:51 |
| revengervn | does anyone know about ASTERISK | 21:51 |
| Fishscene | kindofabuzz, I would like ALL space available to me. 7.6GB missing is kind of a lot | 21:51 |
| revengervn | i'm writing AGI scripting for ASTERISK | 21:51 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: it was /dev/sdb1, right? | 21:51 |
| kindofabuzz | Fishscene: what fs is it? i know ext3 uses some of the filesystem, but should'nt be 7.6G, unless it's like a 2000G hd lol | 21:51 |
| a514 | !kubuntu | 21:51 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 21:51 |
| Fishscene | Chousuke, yes. Mount point is /media/drive | 21:51 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: the problem appears to be this : "04:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Unknown device 8880 (rev 0f)" ...line 49 on the pastebin | 21:52 |

| Sonja | ariqs is there a way for python to disconnect and reconnect Ubuntu's internet connection? | 21:52 |
| kindofabuzz | Fishscene: are you sure it's not 7.6M? | 21:52 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: unmount it, and run "sudo tune2fs -m 0" | 21:52 |
| amrik | anirudh0: that looks like a modem codec to me | 21:52 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: er | 21:52 |
| Fishscene | 7.5GB used, 140.2GB free | 21:52 |
| revengervn | hi | 21:52 |
| revengervn | HELLO | 21:52 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: "sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1" | 21:52 |
| jagggy | zon, how would i do it then? | 21:52 |
| jagggy | it needs to open AND a terminal, AND do ls | 21:52 |
| jagggy | AND stay open* | 21:52 |
| revengervn | Does anyone know ASTERISK | 21:52 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: then remount | 21:52 |
| unstable | revengervn: | 21:53 |
| unstable | revengervn: #asterisk | 21:53 |
| revengervn | :( | 21:53 |
| revengervn | i cannot connect to that channel | 21:53 |
| amrik | Sonja: if your script is running as root, you can do import os; os.system('/etc/init.d/networking restart') | 21:53 |
| revengervn | it requires authentication or somethin | 21:53 |
| userone | jagggy: the answer is Yes. try gnome-terminal --help for details. | 21:53 |
| eddieftw | !sound | 21:53 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:53 |
| el1te | i have an older nforce2 mb....its the abit nf7-s ver2.0....(with soundstorm apu)....i have 2 systems we will call that system "2"....my system 1 is my gaming rig....i used its ANALOG-OUT to goto system "2" ANALOG-IN and from their i used the soundstorm OPTICAL-OUT to got my reciever | 21:53 |
| kindofabuzz | well like i said ext3 uses some of the files system for journaling i guess, like my 60G hard drive, ext3 used up about 400M, so on a 140G drive, 7.6G may be right | 21:53 |
| el1te | how do i do this with linux...it worked fine in winxp | 21:54 |

| bigsexy | i got a question | 21:54 |
| revengervn | thanks so much | 21:54 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: i meant the "Multimedia video controller: Unknown device " part...i'm no expert on kernel modules, but that does'nt look right | 21:54 |
| Hernan | hola | 21:54 |
| bigsexy | has anyone here ever used zenwalk? | 21:54 |
| tony_ | Mukanya | 21:54 |
| revengervn | THANKS UNSTABLE | 21:54 |
| zon | jagggy I know i'm saying that the bash scripting might talk about how to keep it open... | 21:54 |
| bigsexy | i'm thinking about installing zenwalk but never tried it before, is it a good one? | 21:54 |
| el1te | i tried kubuntu 8.04 kde remix but with no luck | 21:55 |
| Sonja | amrik does "import os; os.system('/etc/init.d/networking restart')" disconnect the Internet access? or restore it? | 21:55 |
| el1te | can someone help me here | 21:55 |
| amrik | Sonja: it will disconnect and restart it | 21:55 |
| bigsexy | is zenwalk a good os? | 21:55 |
| Fishscene | sweet. Everything looks hunky-dory now. Thanks a lot guys :D | 21:55 |
| ipx | Can I somehow, with SSH Xforwarding open a graphical window from my laptop here then close the window and the process shall still be on even though I disconnect this computer? | 21:55 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: did you try it+ | 21:55 |
| kumarphilly | Steven_Office, are you steve cal? | 21:55 |
| Sonja | amrik I want to disable it completely. and then restore it to normal as a separate command. | 21:55 |
| Chousuke | ipx: not really. you need VNC for that. | 21:56 |
| bigsexy | vnc for what? | 21:56 |
| el1te | basically the only thing i want on the linux box to work is the sound..just use the machine to relay sound through optical out | 21:56 |
| el1te | i dont even care if it has X | 21:56 |
| Chousuke | binarydigit: remote X that can be detached | 21:56 |
| Fishscene | yes, I have all space available to me and I can write to it. :) Although I am kind of miffed about having to type in my password to mount it. But it's liveable | 21:56 |
| anirudh0 | jagggy: maybe gnome terminal -x "ls&&cat" will help | 21:56 |
| Sonja | amrik or use the typing break functionality | 21:56 |
| el1te | whatever i need to do i will | 21:56 |
| Chousuke | er | 21:56 |
| el1te | can someone help me | 21:56 |
| anirudh0 | jagggy: the "&&cat" will keep the terminal open | 21:56 |
| amrik | Sonja: err you can do networking stop, and networking start | 21:56 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: does it have an fstab entry? | 21:57 |
| Sonja | amrik cool! that would turn off or on internet access? what is the exact command? thanks | 21:57 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: if it does, add the "user" option, that means any user can mount it. | 21:57 |
| Fishscene | oo | 21:57 |
| Fishscene | ok | 21:57 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 21:57 |
| ariqs | I see ltmodem.o files in lib/linux-restricted/ltmodem | 21:57 |
| amrik | /etc/init.d/networking stop turns off internet access, /etc/init.d/networking start will reenable it (this will actually disable all networking, but you can figure out yourself how to do it on only 1 interface) | 21:58 |
| Sonja | amrik sweet!! | 21:58 |
| CyD | i'd like to script copying an ntfs partition with parted, but afaik ntfs is only support in gparted. anyone know of ways to do this? | 21:59 |
| balleyne | In Gutsy, there was a Hardware Device Information type entry in Preferences or Administration, but it's not there in Hardy anymore... is there an equivalent? or has it moved? | 21:59 |
| jagggy | it doesn't anirudh0 | 21:59 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: would'nt the result of /etc/init.d/networking depend on what he uses to connect to the net...pppoe or dhcp? | 21:59 |
| angelo | oi | 21:59 |

| emma | balleyne: I see something for hardware drivers. Is that what you had in mind? | 22:00 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: for dhcp /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop does the job | 22:01 |
| anirudh0 | amrik: should be something similar for pppoe | 22:01 |
| jagggy | userone, it doesn't say it in the man | 22:01 |

| anirudh0 | amrik: same with me here...only dhcp :) | 22:02 |
| emma | balleyne: i'm not sure that's what you want either but at least that won't hurt anything. | 22:02 |
| balleyne | emma: Thanks, looks like that's my only option... ah well | 22:02 |
| amrik | anirudh0: unfortunately this doesnt fix my sound :( | 22:03 |

| Sonja | what's the easiest python gui for linux? | 22:03 |
| movedx | How come, despite having an nVidia 8800GTS 320mB with the nVidia drivers installed and being able to play Nexuiz at 1680x1050 in Ultimate mode and maintain 80+ FPS, I can't move layers around in Gimp without the app. having a sluggish redraw rate, as though I don't have a graphics driver installed? I've tried with and without the visual. | 22:04 |
| balleyne | emma: a bit (lsusb in this case though). The GUI in Gutsy had more information too though, such as device serial numbers and manufacturers and all that sort of stuff | 22:04 |
| anirudh0 | Sonja: i hate using caps, but GOOGLE | 22:04 |

| hexoroid | whats better kde or gnome ? | 22:06 |
| Fishscene | I hate to ask, but I can't mount my drive through terminal. I'm using "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /dev/drive" and the error is "mount point /dev/drive does not exist". | 22:06 |
| milosz | i was only able to print again with a reinstall after trying a lot to fix it | 22:06 |
| tichou | with new iso, how to do for keep all my home stuffs? | 22:06 |
| Sonja | i want to make a simple program that pops up a window with a question, i click on one of the answers, and then it promts the next question, like a flowchart, etc. It will also do commands like /etc/init.d/networking to block my Internet during certain questions. it will also display a picture or sound in the window with the question. | 22:06 |

| hitcher | Ok.. Well yall complain, I'ma go install my printer... | 22:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fishscene you need to create the mount point in order to mount a drvie to it | 22:06 |
| milosz | tichou, i think there is an option now to keep everything that's not the system | 22:06 |
| theneb_eeepc | Is there any ubuntu eee channel? | 22:06 |
| tichou | oki milos__ | 22:06 |
| ali_ | can someone give me a link to the windows irc i gt a serious ubuntu windows **** up lol | 22:07 |

| fxfitz | zon, Yeah, I think so. I thought i had it set up right and then I can't access it. :( | 22:07 |
| Sonja | danbhfive i was told i could do that in python | 22:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hexoroid this is the support rom for ubuntu, you will not get an unbiased answer in here | 22:07 |
| Fishscene | Jack_Sparrow, pardon my misunderstanding, but I thought that's what I was trying to do... create a mount point for the drive to live in. >.> How would I go about creating the mount point? | 22:07 |
| theghost | hi can anyone tell me how i can change my default character encoding (i'm using GNOME and ubuntu 8.04) | 22:07 |
| danbhfive | Sonja: what? what can you do in python? | 22:07 |
| hexoroid | jack ubutnu runs gnome. | 22:07 |
| milosz | Fishscene, mkdir | 22:07 |
| zon | hexoroid, if you want a fast x desktop xfce is faster then kde or gnome. gnome is better supported... so maybe you want to do that | 22:07 |
| userone | jagggy: i cant get it to stay open either but 'gnome-terminal -x ls > ls' will open/execute/ make the file of 'ls' output and close. backgrounding doesnt help. try a gnome-terminal and cron or at. | 22:08 |
| zon | fxfitz, you getting errors? | 22:08 |
| ali_ | anyone know how to restore xp without the disks? | 22:08 |

| daftpunk | hi | 22:09 |

| revengervn | does anyone have crack or serial of WINGWARE python IDE ? | 22:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fishscene I agree that you are selecting an odd mount point | 22:10 |
| tichou | if u want some virus =D | 22:10 |
| jagggy | daftpunk, yes, but why would you run it? you don't get viruses :p | 22:10 |
| Chousuke | Fishscene: it's just a directory, nothing more. | 22:10 |

| mannytu | !virus | 22:10 |
| robg_ | daftpunkt: I was also amazed that you need so little defensive software on Linux. | 22:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !antivirus | 22:10 |
| ubottu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 22:10 |

| fxfitz | zon, Alright. Thanks though! | 22:11 |
| daftpunk | so no trojans, keyloggers stuff like that? | 22:11 |
| Jeruvy | daftpunk: rootkits are the big problem on linux | 22:11 |
| jagggy | daftpunk, nope | 22:11 |
| userone | daftpunk: install chkrootkit to be safe. | 22:12 |
| daftpunk | I read about that, free rootkit scanner was AVG but they discontinued it | 22:12 |
| robg_ | daftpunkt: Rootkit Hunter is a good disinfective. | 22:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daftpunk rootkit is only a problem if you are using programs from unsafe sources outside official repos | 22:12 |

| fxfitz | zon, Do you think I can't access it because I'm not on the same workgroup? I'm trying to connect to the samba server from a different location | 22:15 |
| ali_ | robg_:good point lol | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | ... | 22:16 |
| daftpunk | mmm thats pretty cool | 22:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jagggy I want to say add && to the end of the command you type in a term to keep it open.. But I may be misunderstandiong what you want to do | 22:16 |
| zon | fxfitz, no i think it is because of the user account trying to access it, if it asks for authentication try root and your user password | 22:16 |
| MrObvious | ali_: Disable ipv6 and it should speed up. | 22:16 |
| daftpunk | Is there any downside of linux btw? | 22:16 |
| emma | daftpunk: no. | 22:16 |
| zon | fxfitz, you need to make sure you have set up your windows account username in the smb server properly | 22:16 |
| zon | daftpunk, games | 22:16 |
| emma | daftpunk: but that is off topic for this channel. :) | 22:16 |
| freewilly | its not always plug&play | 22:17 |
| Xore|work | Flare183: thanks, i'm well aware of that. which is why i refined my question from, "how do i do this" to "does anyone know how to do this" | 22:17 |
| fxfitz | zon, Well i'm not even trying to connect with Windows. I want to connect with my ubuntu computer | 22:17 |
| daftpunk | I started to use it about week or 2 ago and I love it more every day | 22:17 |
| stroyan | Xore|work: Put enabled=0 in /etc/default/apport | 22:17 |
| jagggy | Jack_Sparrow, that won't work, it just closes the terminal | 22:17 |
| MrObvious | daftpunk: Some software and hardware that drivers exist for on Windows may not work on Linux...like tethering smartphones based off of Windows Mobile, or Quickbooks. | 22:17 |
| Xore|work | stroyan: thanks | 22:17 |
| MrObvious | daftpunk: But most software can run either in a VM or there are alternatives that are quite workable. | 22:17 |
| zon | fxfitz, you want to go from ubuntu to ubuntu smb? | 22:17 |
| Flare183 | ....ok | 22:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daftpunk #ubuntu-offtopic is for discussions, this is support for specific problems | 22:17 |
| freewilly | but my asus xonar works good | 22:17 |
| daftpunk | ok thanks | 22:17 |
| fxfitz | zon, I want to set up a fileserver that I can access from anywhere, whether it be with ubuntu or windows. | 22:17 |
| zon | i usually use smb for going from windows to ubuntu | 22:17 |
| leftbas | how do i reset my password? | 22:18 |
| Xore|work | it's not so much that i really need it off, i'm doing python development, and it's driving me crazy whenever a script fails it tries to report it | 22:18 |
| zon | fxfitz, its calld ftp | 22:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 22:18 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 22:18 |
| minterior | I'm having problems with recent ubuntu-server upgrade (from 6.06 to 8.04). My system hangs on reboot after init-bottom init script. Anyone knows how to fix it? | 22:18 |
| fxfitz | zon, But I want to be able to mount the server like it's a disk. | 22:18 |
| userone | leftbas: passwd | 22:18 |
| minterior | I've found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/116727 | 22:18 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 116727 in mdadm "mkinitramfs with raid makes an unbootable image" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 22:18 |
| jagggy | Jack_Sparrow, that won't work, it just closes the terminal | 22:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jagggy k | 22:18 |
| leftbas | userone: i don't mean on my machine, i mean for freenode | 22:18 |
| catunda | I've been having a problem at iptables set up. Does anybody knows a good email list do discuss iptables issues? | 22:18 |
| leftbas | userone: sorry i wasn't specific | 22:18 |
| ali_ | anyone know how to get my ubuntu partition bigger? | 22:19 |
| Xore|work | better yet, is there an easy way to tell apport to ignore certain scripts entirely? | 22:19 |
| jagggy | Jack_Sparrow: the perfect example is backtrack, you got nmap in their menu, and when you click on it, it spawns a terminal and run nmap, and stay open... | 22:19 |
| daftpunk | How can I get rid of default keyring password? Is there any danger in doing that? | 22:19 |
| fxfitz | zon, Any ideas? | 22:19 |
| userone | leftbas: i used the website for that. | 22:19 |
| Sonja | how do i change my pythonpath in .bashrc ? "sudo gedit... something??" | 22:19 |
| smev81 | can it happen that you join a channel but you dont join, so that you cant be seen by other members? | 22:19 |
| robg_ | ali_ if anything can do it it will be Gparted. | 22:19 |
| leftbas | userone: i've been there, but there's no info on resetting a freenode password | 22:20 |
| fxfitz | Sonja, sudo gedit ~/.bashrc | 22:20 |
| Sonja | thanks | 22:20 |
| zon | for windows you need smb and to mount from linux you need mount | 22:20 |
| suriro | jagggy: create a profile that holds the terminal open when command exits, and use that profile as argument while invoking gnome-terminal.. | 22:20 |
| Xore|work | aha. apport blacklist. | 22:20 |
| zon | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-52368.html | 22:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fxfitz please suggest gksudo gedit and not sudo for gui apps | 22:20 |
| jagggy | suriro, how? :s | 22:20 |
| newair | How do you unlock network manager? I do not know the password. I am able to login to the system. I clicked on a link under details at the "unlock" dialog box. It led me to an authorization dialog box which looked like it was for changing policies. Can anyone help me get to my network manager? | 22:20 |
| CShadowRun | Jack_Sparrow whats the diffrence? | 22:20 |
| ali_ | robg_: yeh but its got loads of stuff on it im not sure whats what | 22:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 22:20 |
| 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) | 22:20 |
| fxfitz | Jack_Sparrow, Yes, sir! Any reason why? gksudo is definitely two letters longer than sudo, therefore longer to type :-P | 22:20 |
| smev81 | hello? can u read my post? Am i connected? | 22:20 |
| Sonja | how do I add a command like "sudo gedit ~/.bashrc" as a clickable icon on the panel? | 22:21 |
| CShadowRun | Jack_Sparrow i see :p | 22:21 |
| zon | newair, it wants your password to unlock if you can do sudo | 22:21 |
| tyler_2 | I cannot get restricted or other drivers to work with my nvidia series 7 card, could someone walk me through it please? | 22:21 |
| suriro | jagggy: just have a look at the menus of gome-terminal.. | 22:21 |
| Sonja | for easy future access | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fxfitz Not a big deal if you dont mind being locked out of your system due to permissions issues | 22:21 |
| daftpunk | Does anybody know pls, how to remove the default keyring password so my system connects to Wifi automatically on startup? | 22:21 |
| smev81 | ubuntu is silly | 22:21 |
| robg_ | ali_ There are two safe Gparted operations. 1. paritition delete. 2. partition resize. It depends on what is on your drive. | 22:21 |
| zcat[1] | What programs exist that will let me record from /dev/video0, composite1. I can view it perfectly with tvtime, but none of the recording programs seem capable of recording anything other than 'Tuner" | 22:21 |
| CShadowRun | smev81 your silly | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smev81 dont be disrespectful... | 22:21 |
| fxfitz | Jack_Sparrow, I've never had that problem before. When does that happen/ | 22:21 |
| smev81 | i just tested if i am connected | 22:21 |
| suriro | jagggy: also 'man gnome-terminal' for commandline options | 22:22 |
| === bamed is now known as bamed|away | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | just testing to see if I am still an op | 22:22 |
| fxfitz | zon, So, my ubuntu server doesn't need to use samba to mount a networked drive on Windows? | 22:22 |
| ihcus | hi ppl ....i have a prob..i cant increase my number of desktops to more than 1 ? | 22:22 |
| zcat[1] | at this point it looks like the best solution is to watch it in tvtime and then record that with xrecordmydesktop. Surely there's a better solution?!! | 22:22 |
| ali_ | robg_: thats the problem theres 2 partitions saying linuxs swap so i presume there my ubuntu 8.04 and the 7.10 i cant get rid off | 22:22 |
| MrObvious | Jack_Sparrow: Feel better? ;\ | 22:22 |
| fxfitz | zon, I was under the impression that I need to use Samba if I want my windows machine to be able to mount a ubuntu directory | 22:23 |
| zon | fxfitz, if you want to support network drives like normal windows servers from windows machines you need samba | 22:23 |
| theghost | emma thanks | 22:23 |
| zon | but to do it from linux to linux you don't need samba | 22:23 |
| ali_ | robg_:cause it says cant delete under nuber 6 or somethin | 22:23 |
| smev81 | i have a bad feeling | 22:23 |
| emma | theghost: you are very welcome. :) | 22:23 |
| robg_ | ali_ swap partitions are empty parititions. They contain no data. You cannot delete a swap partition but you can reduce it in size. | 22:23 |
| emma | PriceChild ^ | 22:23 |
| theghost | :) | 22:23 |
| zcat[1] | and yes I have tried everything in synaptic that claims to record video, none of them seem capable of changing the input source even when they have a dialog for it... they still record ant-racing off the tuner | 22:23 |
| wy | Is there a way to remove grub under linux? | 22:23 |
| ali_ | robg_: so how do i know which one is ubuntu im using and which one im not? | 22:24 |
| MrObvious | wy: You COULD go to LILO. | 22:24 |
| fxfitz | zon, Right. Okay. Now how would I go about mounting that samba share with my ubuntu machine if whenever I try to access it keeps giving me a timeout? | 22:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | emma may I have a quick pm | 22:24 |
| ihcus | can anybody help me .....i cant increase my desktops to more than 1 .....pls ??? | 22:24 |
| psykroll | Hi, can someone help me update VirtualBox on Ubuntu Hardy? | 22:24 |
| zon | !smbclient | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Factoid smbclient not found | 22:24 |
| wy | MrObvious: I just want to remove all bootloaders tempararily | 22:24 |
| emma | Jack_Sparrow: yes you are always welcome. Of course. | 22:24 |
| MrObvious | wy: You have to have some kind of bootloader otherwise your computer will never get past the BIOS. | 22:24 |
| ryanakca | I'm running an upgrade from the command line. I made my terminal smaller while it was running. However, I've put it back to it's original size, and debconf doesn't seem to want to resize. Is there a way to make in redraw itself? | 22:24 |
| robg_ | ali_ If you have 2 linuxes installed they will each have created their own swap partition. | 22:24 |
| ali_ | so how do i delete 7.10 | 22:25 |
| zon | grrr | 22:25 |
| robg_ | ali_ If you want to delete Ubuntu 7.10 then you can use Gparted and simply delete the partition in which 7.10 resides. | 22:25 |
| ali_ | so how do i know in which one it resides tho? | 22:26 |
| zcat[1] | wy: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 should do it, although this is probably a really, really bad idea. | 22:26 |
| carol | Hi all. I installed Ubuntu on my MacBook. In OS X there is this key stroke (ctrl+alt+cmd+F8) that changes all colors of the screen to their complements. This is very nice to have a 'dark view' quickly. Is their such a thing in Ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| ryanakca | zon: what are you looking for, the linux to linux equivalent of samba? look for sshfs | 22:26 |
| zon | !sshfs | 22:26 |
| ubottu | Factoid sshfs not found | 22:26 |
| zon | well it was worth a shot lol | 22:26 |
| === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||
| ryanakca | !info sshfs | zon | 22:26 |
| ubottu | zon: sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9-1 (hardy), package size 31 kB, installed size 116 kB | 22:26 |
| arno-t | hi all do you know of any good command-line mp3 tag extractors? | 22:26 |
| zon | ahh info... | 22:26 |
| zcat[1] | Is the bootloader the first 512 bytes on the drive? I think that's correct | 22:27 |
| robg_ | ali_ Get Gparted from Sourceforge.net on a LiveCD and load it from CD-ROM. Gparted will tell you what is on your drive. | 22:27 |
| fxfitz | ryanakca, No no, I want to use samba because i want to share a filesystem between linux and windows users. | 22:27 |
| zon | fxfitz ok checkout sshfs like they are saying and also smbclient | 22:27 |
| fxfitz | ryanakca, However, I want this share to be accessible to people outside the network/workgroup thing. | 22:27 |
| ryanakca | zon: !info is for the package... just plain !foo is the factoid | 22:27 |
| userone | zcat[1]: it's the mbr, master boot record | 22:27 |
| psykroll | Can someone help me update VirtualBox on Ubuntu Hardy? | 22:27 |
| ali_ | robg_: i gt gparted on ubuntu wont tht work? | 22:27 |
| newair | zon: for some reason, that works now, but did not work a couple days ago. I have no clue, but thank you. I don't think I would have tried it again. I hope I just typed the wrong thing before. Yes thank you | 22:27 |
| fxfitz | zon, Hmm. Alright. Does smbclient work with sshfs? | 22:27 |
| zon | tks rayanakca | 22:27 |
| smev81 | ubuntu is not silly | 22:27 |
| ihcus | guys help me out...i cant increase my number of desktops from 1 | 22:28 |
| zcat[1] | userone: so that nasty line of 'dd' should zero out the MBR right.. and hopefully not the partition table as well. | 22:28 |
| zon | fxfitz they are different. | 22:28 |
| xeugene | how about ubuntu to ubuntu filesharing can samba is right package | 22:28 |
| userone | zcat[1]: it'll reset the mbr to nothing. | 22:28 |
| zon | does the bot send links to man pages? | 22:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zcat[1] what line for dd? | 22:28 |
| zon | !man | 22:28 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 22:28 |
| zon | ooh nevermind... | 22:28 |
| psykroll | does anyone know the command to update an installed program? | 22:28 |
| zcat[1] | Jack_Sparrow: the one that dumps 512 bytes of /dev/zero over the mbr | 22:28 |
| robg_ | ali_ I never use an operating system to organise that operating system. That OS is only active in its own partition. | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zcat[1] that WILL erase your partition table | 22:29 |
| zcat[1] | someone asked how to 'remove' GRUB.. that ought to do it. | 22:29 |
| Odd-rationale | psykroll: sudo apt-get upgrade will upgrade all packages on your system | 22:29 |
| seracht | Hi, can someone recommend me a good chat application (specifically for msn) | 22:29 |
| fxfitz | zon, So far samba is working perfectly. The only thing I need is to be able for clients OUTSIDE the network/workgroup to interact with the fileshare | 22:29 |
| Odd-rationale | !msn | seracht | 22:29 |
| ubottu | seracht: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Kopete | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zcat[1] 442 I think is just the mbr.. one sec while I check | 22:29 |
| smev81 | !banned | 22:30 |
| ubottu | If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable behaviour. If you're not sure what acceptable behaviour is please see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 22:30 |
| zon | fxfitz...windows clients can use already installed windows stuff, ubuntu clients can use smbclient | 22:30 |
| newair | Got to go. Bye | 22:30 |
| zcat[1] | Jack_Sparrow: cool, I wouldn't want anyone to do more damage than they asked for :) | 22:30 |
| ryanakca | fxfitz: they don't work together I don't think... however, if you really want to use sshfs for both windows and linux and any combination there of, see the inefficient http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/03/05/using-sshfs-to-access-remote-directories-in-windows/ | 22:30 |
| manoff | i have a problem; when i create .bash_profile file (which did not exist before) and write "export PAHT=$PATH:/home/myname/bin" there, suddenly the colors dissappear from 'ls' command, why? | 22:30 |
| psykroll | Odd-rationale: No, that didn't work. It says everything is good, but VirtualBox isn't the current version | 22:30 |
| smev81 | !blocked | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Factoid blocked not found | 22:30 |
| seracht | Odd-rationale is pidgin the best one though or are there better options | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zcat[1] Note: 512 includes the partition info 446 first partition is 16 bytes and gets to 462 Would just be the boot info... use hda if needed on your system copy mbr.backup to a USB Drive or other media | 22:30 |
| fxfitz | zon, Then how come I can connect to the share with computers inside the local network, but not with computers outside? | 22:30 |
| zon | fxfitz, firewall? | 22:31 |
| ryanakca | fxfitz: I don't really know the whole question, I'm just guessing. Firewall? | 22:31 |
| manoff | i have a problem; when i create .bash_profile file (which did not exist before) and write "export PAHT=$PATH:/home/myname/bin" there, suddenly the colors dissappear from 'ls' command, why? | 22:31 |
| zon | !iptables | 22:31 |
| 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). | 22:31 |
| fxfitz | zon, Nope. I have all my ports forwarded correctly. :( | 22:31 |
| Odd-rationale | seracht: pidgin is quite good. kopete might be better as i heard that it supports webcam. and there is amsn... | 22:31 |
| ryanakca | fxfitz: Have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba ? hmm... If you created an SSH tunnel and connected to the remote shares and from the remote shares through it? | 22:31 |
| tristan_ | join #gstreamer | 22:31 |
| Odd-rationale | manoff: did you delete the line containing the ls alias? | 22:31 |
| PedanticSteve | does anyone know of a Linux utility in Ubuntu that can convert all line breaks in a text file to another character like ";' or something? | 22:31 |
| zon | fxfitz, i can't help you with networking issues...they are impossible to troubleshoot unless you know the complete network topology | 22:32 |
| zcat[1] | wy: (only because you asked) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1 should do it, although this is probably a really, really bad idea. Not having an MBR makes your system unable to boot.. you most likely want to -replace- the MBR with some other bootloader | 22:32 |
| psykroll | Ok, another problem: I've screwed up my permissions. can someone help me? | 22:32 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: there was no .bash_profile file before, when i rename it into something else, ls colors work again | 22:32 |
| j_ | PedenticSteve: vi, emacs, nedit | 22:32 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: i mean, when i logout and login again | 22:32 |
| ryanakca | PedanticSteve: sed, ex: sed -e 's/$/;/g' should do that. | 22:32 |
| robg_ | Firewall: to activate the firewall go to Terminal, type sudo su <pw> ufw enable <enter> ufw logging on <enter> ufw default deny <enter> | 22:32 |
| PedanticSteve | thanks ryanakca | 22:32 |
| MrObvious | ryanakca: Hmm I'm gonna need to learn sed. lol | 22:32 |
| ryanakca | PedanticSteve: CLI only though... | 22:32 |
| zon | !chmod > psykrool | 22:32 |
| seracht | Another thing. I installed CompizConfig Settings Manager, but I don't think it's working | 22:33 |
| zon | !chmod > psykroll | 22:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | People, it has been fun, but time for me to call it a day... and just lurk while I work | 22:33 |
| PedanticSteve | I need CLI so I can use it in a script | 22:33 |
| PedanticSteve | thanks | 22:33 |
| seracht | do I have to set something to make the effects take into effect? | 22:33 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: my reasoning is that there must be some sort of default .bash_profile somewhere that gets overriden when i write my own into home dir | 22:33 |
| ali_ | robg_: but how will i know whts on each partition? | 22:33 |
| Odd-rationale | manoff: so colors are not working now? or you have to logout to get coloors? | 22:33 |
| robg_ | ali_ Gparted will tell you. It recognizes all known filesystems. | 22:33 |
| userone | manoff: you over-wrote your environment aliases and variables in ~/.bashrc | 22:33 |
| psykroll | zon: bash: !chmod: event not found | 22:33 |
| seracht | never mind, fixed it | 22:34 |
| zon | psykroll, no just chmod | 22:34 |
| ali_ | robg_: so it should say ubuntu 7.10 | 22:34 |
| psykroll | o | 22:34 |
| ali_ | ?? | 22:34 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: when i have my own .bash_profile and i logout / login again, colors dont work. when i remove the file or rename it into something else and logout/login, colors work again | 22:34 |
| zon | !chmod | 22:34 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 22:34 |
| zon | the ! is for the bot | 22:34 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: that is, when i have .bash_profile in home dir and login, colors dont work | 22:34 |
| Odd-rationale | manoff: the .bash_profile is probably overwriting what you have in .bashrc | 22:34 |
| shazzam | hey people i downloaded the live cd and burnt the iso to a cd | 22:34 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: aha | 22:35 |
| shazzam | when i pop in the cd it just comes uso?p as an | 22:35 |
| shazzam | when i pop in the cd it just comes up as an iso? | 22:35 |
| Odd-rationale | manoff: consider adding the path line to your .bashrc file instead | 22:35 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: so should i / can i include .bashrc from .bash_profile | 22:35 |
| shazzam | how do i play it? | 22:35 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: man bash says that .bashrc is for non-login shells only | 22:35 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 22:35 |
| ariqs | I see ltmodem.o files in lib/linux-restricted/ltmodem | 22:35 |
| fxfitz | ryanakca, Would you mind if I paste you a few things in a private message? | 22:35 |
| robg_ | ali_ Just get the Gparted Live 0.3.6-7.iso from Sourceforge.net. Link in via Wikipedia: Gparted. | 22:35 |
| manoff | Odd-rationale: while .bash_profile is for login shells, but i try to do that | 22:36 |
| zon | shzzaam, did you burn the iso image or burn the actual iso to your disk? | 22:36 |
| manoff | hold on | 22:36 |
| PedanticSteve | ryanakca I tried that sed command and it added a ";" to the end of each line, but did not replace the line breaks with them... what I am looking for is something to replace the line breaks so I end up with one really long line | 22:36 |
| psykroll | zon: chmod: missing operand | 22:36 |

| Doodluv | I used the update-manger to go from 7.04 to 7.10 and the update-manger pretty much bombed out on me during the upgrade process. I am not able to login as a regular user. I could kill gdm and startx as root and gain access to gnome desktop....until I rebooted the machine...now it hangs on boot. My question is: can I run the install from the 7.10 disk and reinstall ubuntu w/o destroying my /home partition? | 22:37 |
| MrBashir | In the newest ubuntu 8.x where can I find the screen and Graphics menu? | 22:37 |
| manoff | or is "PATH=$PATH..." just enought? | 22:37 |
| shazzam | how was i suppose to burn it? | 22:37 |
| [chr0n0s] | is there any way to have resumable downloads over ssh ? | 22:38 |
| zon | shazzam, maybe, you need to burn the "image" to the disk no the actual ISO | 22:38 |

| [Ely] | Hello guys I just downloaded and installed the Nvidia Linux drivers from their website but after rebooting I always get a message saying I do not appear to be using the NVidia drivers and asks me to configure X my display is running on very low resolution too. | 22:38 |

| manoff | userone: will do | 22:38 |

| zon | shazzam, you will have to read the documentation on your burning software | 22:38 |
| amenado | manoff-> also man export so you get an idea what it does | 22:38 |
| [Ely] | I did what it asks me under root but I keep getting the same error, anyone can help me please? | 22:38 |

| psykroll | not everyone wants or should have to learn a bunch of commands | 22:39 |
| zon | [ely] did you change or xorg config files to use the new driver? | 22:39 |
| manoff | ok thanks for your help, i have to logout/login to see if it works now | 22:39 |

| zon | thought it would maybe give me a linky | 22:42 |
| xiambax | im trying to do apt-get install xfce but it doesnt work | 22:42 |
| zon | xiambax sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:42 |
| manoff | xiambax: i think you have to have xubuntu | 22:42 |
| manoff | yeah | 22:42 |
| Odd-rationale | l2s: hal would use /media/<disk_label> instead of /media/disk-1 | 22:42 |
| userone | manoff: you can change path on the fly, but you must 'export PATH' too. | 22:42 |

| jAk | hello everybody ;) | 22:44 |
| userone | Templarian: you can copy it | 22:44 |
| ariqs | hah, i want to do the exact opposite of that, bizzeh | 22:44 |
| Odd-rationale | manoff: also, you don't have to logout to use your new .bashrc configuration. just run it with ". ~/.bashrc" | 22:44 |
| zon | you guys should trade mice then | 22:44 |

| j_ | seracht: there really aren't THAT many compiz settings... why don't you just use the graphical config tools and play around? | 22:46 |
| MrBashir | MrObvious: screen resolution mentions only 800x640 because its headless... | 22:46 |
| seme | and samba isn't set up to use ad... does likewise do that? | 22:46 |

| MrBashir | and 640x480, but nothing else | 22:46 |

| emma | !info simple-ccsm > emma | 22:46 |
| seracht | thanks | 22:46 |
| robg_ | MrBashir; My screen resolution is 1440 x 900 | 22:46 |
| manoff | ok gotta run now see ya | 22:47 |
| MrObvious | MrBashir: Sometimes you have to manually add resolutions to xorg.conf | 22:47 |
| MrObvious | . | 22:47 |
| * Bizzeh licks 1680x1050 screen | 22:47 | |
| takyoji | Is Compiz or Compiz-Fusion packaged with Ubuntu 8.04? | 22:47 |
| emma | seracht: I suggest you try installing simple-ccsm You do that by opening a terminal and typing: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm | 22:47 |
| emma | takyoji: it is Compiz-Fusion now. | 22:47 |
| ariqs | I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 and the linux-image and installed them by double clicking on them from the flash drive. The packages were said to be installed successfully. However, ltmodem, the reason I got the package, doesn't show up anywhere, and sudo modprobe ltmodem (what soundray suggested) does nothing. What might be wrong, what might I need to try at this point? | 22:47 |
| ariqs | I see ltmodem.o files in lib/linux-restricted/ltmodem | 22:47 |
| j_ | takyoji: compiz comes with 8.04 | 22:47 |
| l2s | I think i found a bug in hardy when you boot up and it automounts a usb drive, when you manually try to set the volume mount point and do it wrong, there is no way to get back in to change it | 22:47 |
| takyoji | j_ and emma: thank you | 22:47 |
| emma | j_ oh I thought the whole thing is called compiz-fusion now. | 22:47 |
| MrObvious | Bizzeh: 1920x1280 here :D | 22:47 |
| l2s | gui errors out says cant mount and then stops | 22:48 |
| emma | takyoji: no problem. Good luck. | 22:48 |
| j_ | emma: yeah compiz-fusion .. compiz + beryl .. which is basically just compiz with a couple neat-o beryl plugins .. | 22:48 |
| j_ | same thing :) | 22:48 |
| Bizzeh | MrObvious: if i could be bothered, i would hook my tv in via hdmi also, and go for 1080p + 1680x1050 :D | 22:48 |
| emma | j_ right. :) | 22:48 |
| takyoji | Then where's the settings for Beryl? :P | 22:48 |
| MrObvious | Bizzeh: Lucky son of a cat. :p | 22:48 |
| j_ | takyoji: are you sure you aren't using compiz? | 22:48 |
| legend2440 | MrBashir: screens and graphics is gksu displayconfig-gtk | 22:48 |
| j_ | takyoji: beryl is now defunct | 22:49 |
| emma | Bizzeh: this is not quite related but since you are talking about Ubuntu and hooking up your TV, you might also want to look into mythbuntu | 22:49 |
| takyoji | ahh | 22:49 |
| MrBashir | legend2440: Ok, thanks,ill try that | 22:49 |
| Bizzeh | emma: i would be looking to hook my tv into ubuntu as simply a 2nd monitor, not a media viewer | 22:49 |
| j_ | takyoji: the best config tool I've found for compiz is ccsm | 22:49 |
| emma | Bizzeh: sure. | 22:49 |
| MrObvious | Bizzeh: My resolution is 80 pixels bigg | 22:49 |
| takyoji | j_: ahh k, thanks | 22:50 |
| docta_v | is there a tool to check for weak ssl certificates | 22:50 |
| j_ | takyoji: anytime | 22:50 |
| jrib | ariqs: are you sure you aren't affected by the bug I linked yesterday? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Lucent suggests you can use the martian_modem driver as an alternative | 22:50 |
| docta_v | that is, not ssh keys but ssl certs for apache | 22:50 |
| MrObvious | Bizzeh: Err 80 pixels bigger than 1080P.; | 22:50 |
| jAk | Anybody know OR is it possible to get outlook 2007 on ubuntu using either Wine or crossover? | 22:50 |
| l2s | odd-rationale your way worked to mount it under the /media/drivename | 22:50 |
| psykroll | will ubuntu ever be user-friendly? I don't have time to learn how the commands work. I just need help. | 22:50 |
| MrObvious | jAk: Why? | 22:50 |
| docta_v | jAk: wine/crossover definitely works with outlook | 22:50 |
| suriro | ariqs: that package is for i386 kernels. It wont work on i686 kernel | 22:50 |
| docta_v | i don't know about 2007 though | 22:50 |
| docta_v | check the crossover office website | 22:50 |
| Bizzeh | psykroll: what are you on about, there is no need to know pretty much, any commands at all | 22:50 |
| danbhfive | !appdb > jAk | 22:50 |
| j_ | psykroll: what do you need help with? | 22:50 |
| MrObvious | psykroll: I think most of the stuff can be done through the GUI from the system menu. | 22:50 |
| Nevermind | testasdg | 22:50 |
| Bizzeh | unless your customising in someway | 22:50 |
| robg_ | psykroll: the nice thing about Ubuntu is that you do not really have to know the commands. | 22:51 |
| Nevermind | 0_o last message was lost.. hm | 22:51 |
| amenado | psykroll-> are you willing to pay cold cash? | 22:51 |
| Nevermind | hi guys | 22:51 |

| Nevermind | problem* ) | 22:51 |
| Broadcom | !anyone | Nevermind | 22:51 |
| ubottu | Nevermind: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:51 |
| MrBashir | legend2440: Any idea why they removed it from the usual place? | 22:51 |
| MrObvious | jAk: Is it for e-mail or becacuse of Exchange? | 22:51 |
| emma | Nevermind: It's possible. The best course of action is to ask your question and see if someone has any ideas. | 22:51 |
| j_ | although I like MrObviouses enthusiasm, you should hopefully never really have to learn the CLI... that's the point of ubuntu.. | 22:51 |
| Bizzeh | thing is, the option to use the commands is there... so ubuntu suites me perfectly, im more of a gentoo user, but im to lazy to use commands now... but when i really want them, they are there | 22:51 |
| psykroll | amenado: I thought ubuntu meant community | 22:52 |
| Acorn | why when using the ubuntu livecd am i limited to 800*600 screen resolution? | 22:52 |
| zon | !lol > zon | 22:52 |

| l2s | one other question after i gparted a disk to ext3 it is showing this: dev/sdb1 1 60802 488386583+ ee EFI GPT | 22:52 |
| j_ | that's the most direct translation of ubuntu | 22:52 |
| Bizzeh | Acorn: your gfx isnt supported properly in the livecd | 22:52 |
| MrObvious | Acorn: The video driver might not be set up right. | 22:52 |
| l2s | what is ee EFI GPT rather than the normal 83 linux | 22:52 |
| legend2440 | MrBashir: no in order to see launcher in menu i had to edit menus and enable it. it is under Other on mine | 22:53 |
| psykroll | so I'm limited to windows until I have the time to become a programmer | 22:53 |
| psykroll | nice | 22:53 |
| ariqs | suriro: that may very well be my problem. | 22:53 |
| Nevermind | ok... so. SOUND problems. sound card - Terratek Aurion 7.1. have sound in Totem player(deafult for 8.04) and pidgin. anywhere else... just silence ) | 22:53 |
| Acorn | how do i find out how to set up my gfx? | 22:53 |
| maxxism | this monitor hates ubuntu. I just did a reinstall to try to get the monitor to do 1280x1024, ubuntu still doesnt see anything bigger than 1280x800, winblows does 1280x1024. I tried manually adding 1280x1024 to xorg.conf already too. | 22:53 |
| j_ | psykroll: not at all sir. nearly everything in ubuntu has a GUI | 22:53 |
| MrBashir | legend2440: Ah, ok thanks again :) | 22:53 |
| emma | I am not sure what just happened there. | 22:53 |

| zon | acorn, plug it in to the pci bus? | 22:55 |
| j_ | psykroll: are you having a specific problem? Or is it more general "catch up" to how ubuntu works? There are lots of video tutorials to help you catch up if need be .. | 22:56 |
| psykroll | j_: I don't recall memorizing a bunch of code when I learned windows. It was all obvious to me. | 22:56 |

| maxxism | robg_ well so happy for the help. lol. I have been trying to get the higher res for a couple weeks. even though gutsy worked fine on this monitor. | 22:56 |

| jrib | psykroll: you don't need to memorize any code on ubuntu either | 22:57 |
| j_ | psykroll: heh.. that sort of depends on who you ask. linux has a lot of technical people behind it so it's easier for them to say "run this command" then to say "go to applications->this->that" | 22:57 |

| Slart | MrKeuner: updates the package lists? but I thought apt-get did that | 23:01 |
| ariqs | I mean, really, the focus on compatibility should start with internet connection drivers. It's obvious. after that you can get what you need, but you're nearly screwed if you can't connect to the net. What is with this | 23:01 |

| jude | http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html , download envy it will solve your problem | 23:26 |
| MrObvious | BazookaTooth: I don't think so. | 23:27 |
| Mongoose | jrib: the one i was testing with was an htm with php in it, but .php's prompt you to save the file | 23:27 |

| robg_ | BazookaTooth: what you are suggesting sounds very dangerous. | 23:27 |

| BazookaTooth | Wheres the thing: Ubuntu is on that drive, along with the logical drive for Storage., I use Vista mainly, and wanted to try out Ubuntu | 23:27 |
| ariqs | I don't want to, but apparently it's the only way i'm going to get my modem working | 23:28 |
| BazookaTooth | Now Im trying to reclaim the Ubuntu space | 23:28 |
| j_ | Acorn: huh | 23:28 |
| BazookaTooth | But its on a Primary partition on the drive | 23:28 |
| j_ | Acorn: I would suspect that has something to do with you being on the live cd :( | 23:28 |
| psykroll | j_: back. Yeah, I know I did it. I just don't know how to undo it. | 23:28 |
| Mongoose | jrib: its clean, just php5.conf and *.load | 23:28 |
| robg_ | BazookaTooth: If you want to delete a partition that contains an OS then you will have to get Gparted from Sourceforge.net | 23:28 |

| MrObvious | BazookaTooth: You didn't like Ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| Mongoose | no symlinks | 23:29 |
| BazookaTooth | Ya I have Gparted, but I wanted to know if I could do that without messing up the Storage drive | 23:29 |
| j_ | Acorn: yeah I'd try that ... | 23:29 |
| amenado | BazookaTooth-> use a livecd gparted to remove it.. | 23:29 |

| jrib | Mongoose: if you can see their contents, that means they are ok though | 23:29 |
| BazookaTooth | So dont delete a partition, just use Gparted to merge it with the NSFT logical partition? | 23:29 |
| jga23_ | Broadcom: should I be using ndiswrapper or the new b43 drivers? | 23:30 |
| BazookaTooth | And then use /fixmbr to fix the boot? | 23:30 |

I installed Ubuntu, and when I'm trying to install packages from the "Update Manager" it's tell me to input administrative password, when I put there the "root" pass it's tell me that it's wrong, and when I put it my user pass, it's works.. why is that? (I was try to remove "Administer the system" from my user on "Users and Group" and now I cant install packages... | 23:32 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | anyone can help me please to fix that problem? thanks a lot! | 23:32 |

| ubottu | turbolover: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:33 |
| BazookaTooth | When I installed, I meant to allocate 150 GB, but chose the opposite | 23:33 |
| Acorn | so what will happen if i just tell it to do everything automatically and just use the whole drive? will it make one huge ubuntu partition? or will it make a small partitition and a big storage partition? | 23:33 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: if you would enter the root passwort instead of the user password noone could ever see afterwards which user did that | 23:33 |
| Pici | Elad-Ubuntu: No, sudo is the proper way on Ubuntu to do something with root privleges, not by logging into the root account ddirectly. | 23:33 |
| psykroll | j_: ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied | 23:33 |
| BazookaTooth | hmm, Ill just move important things to another drive and reformat | 23:33 |
| jrib | psykroll, j_: check that the file is not immutable with lsattr. If that's not the case, I'd bet on corrupt filesystem | 23:33 |
| j_ | Acorn: Yep one big fat data partition and a smaller partition for swap | 23:33 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: that is basically why you use the user password of users who are in the /etc/sudoers file | 23:33 |
| ls3 | thanks Broadcom, will try it now | 23:33 |
| BazookaTooth | What Im worried about it the MBR | 23:34 |

| j_ | psykroll: Yeah there definitely seems to be something corrupt with that file | 23:34 |
| cory__ | hello | 23:34 |

| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: that line say what privileges the according user has, yes, if you remove that line the user will not be able to execute sudo anymore | 23:35 |
| j_ | psykroll: I think running fsck would solve your problem | 23:35 |
| Pici | Elad-Ubuntu: You really shouldnt need to touch the sudoers file, please look at the link that ubottu gave you for an explanation of sudo | 23:35 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | remoteCTR1, it's not dangerous to give root access to a nornal user? | 23:35 |

| BazookaTooth | robg: how do I do that? In Comp Management? | 23:35 |
| clever | !enter | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:36 |
| jrib | Mongoose: you need to read apache docs so you can tell it to execute php in files that end in .htm (why not just put php in .php files though...?). This probably involves editing one of those files I asked you to ensure were not dangling before | 23:36 |
| j_ | Acorn: by default if you tell ubuntu to use the whole drive, it will make one big partition for linux/data and another for swap .. 2 total | 23:36 |
| j_ | Anyone know how to make ubuntu force a drive check upon boot? | 23:36 |
| robg_ | BazookaTooth: Vista has a paritition manager somewhere. | 23:36 |
| dvs | I'm about to get a new internal and an external hdd. what should i remember to make both play well with windows and ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| Acorn | oh, linux/data. that would be a problem if i wanted to install xp as well at a later point wouldn't it? | 23:36 |
| j_ | Acorn: Yeah you need to keep some unused space for xp | 23:36 |
| BazookaTooth | Ya I have it, the problem is the NTFS storage partition is the logical part of the drive | 23:37 |
| Mongoose | jrib: mk, .php's fine for now. thanks you very much, guys! | 23:37 |
| j_ | Acorn: Install XP first and have ubuntu resize the partitions for you | 23:37 |

| jrib | Elad-Ubuntu: 'sudo apt-get install PACKAGE' doesn't work? | 23:37 |

| Elad-Ubuntu | jrib, ohh.. I see | 23:38 |
| BazookaTooth | Broadcom: grub is fine, but will it mess things up once I get rid of Ubuntu | 23:38 |
| j_ | psykroll: did it find any errors? | 23:39 |
| jrib | Elad-Ubuntu: why would you want that? Your user is the administrator | 23:39 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | jrib, can I change it? and it will ask for root password? | 23:39 |
| cory__ | I need help fixing full system crashing that is occurring using linux. | 23:39 |
| robg_ | BazookaTooth: which OS was on the drive first ? | 23:39 |
| BazookaTooth | Vista | 23:39 |
| Acorn | j_: i think i just read something earlier today which talked about having 1 partition for ubuntu, 1 for xp, and one for shared data. | 23:39 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: in that case you will have to switch users to root by entereing the su command but that is as pici already mentioned not the way that things are done in debian derivates | 23:39 |
| psykroll | j_: fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) | 23:39 |

| psykroll | Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes | 23:39 |
| Acorn | j_: and swap | 23:39 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | jrib, I was using debian.. and there, when I wanted to install something I just "su" to root | 23:39 |
| j_ | Acorn: OH. Not necessary anymore. Ubuntu has read/write to NTFS partitions ... so if you need XP to see data, just write to the XP partition from ubuntu :) | 23:40 |
| dvs | I'm about to get a new internal and an external hdd. what should i remember to make both play well with windows and ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| j_ | psykroll: lol exactly. That's why I wanted to force a check on reboot :) | 23:40 |
| robg_ | BazookaTooth: I would expand the Vista paritition to cover nearly all of the drive and leave a token partition for Ubuntu. | 23:40 |
| _InFuRitY_ | hello i need some help guys... i cant see the website i created on my ubuntu machine using its url.. but i can login on my webmin | 23:41 |
| jrib | Elad-Ubuntu: only users in the "admin" group can sudo (the first user is automatically a member of this group). In ubuntu, you just use sudo. You can go back to the debian way of course, just get rid of the "admin" group membership. But then your user can't install things, you would have to su to root all the time | 23:41 |
| LtL | Elad-Ubuntu: ubuntu disables the root acct. intentionally and gives the user sudo priveleges | 23:41 |
| cory | I keep getting these crashes. Can anybody help me fix them. | 23:41 |
| jrib | !sudo > Elad-Ubuntu (read the private message from ubottu) | 23:41 |
| psykroll | j_: well, you gotta spell it out for me, man! I thought I made it obvious how clueless I am. | 23:41 |
| BazookaTooth | It wont let me extend the Partition. I'm thinking because its a Logical Drive, not the primary | 23:41 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: which is basically not a clever thing to do as the purpose is precisely NOT to use the root account because you can never again comprehend who f***ed your system if that is the case | 23:41 |
| Acorn | j_: ah, ok, so it was out of date :D .. can i install ubuntu now and install xp at a later date? | 23:41 |
| draginxx | Anyone know how to get an interal mic on a laptop have good/perfect sound? (No static) (hp pav dvnr 2xxx series) I tried looking through ubuntuforums but found nothing that helped. | 23:41 |
| cory | _infurity_: It may be that your website hasnt propogated | 23:41 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | I see... | 23:41 |
| robg_ | BazookaTooth: what options does Gparted offer ? | 23:42 |
| jeleta | hi how can i create a new partition on my hard drive without deleting ubuntu | 23:42 |
| j_ | Acorn: Well. No. I'd still install XP first simply because windows does NOT play well with others. Ubuntu will give you an option to dual boot ... | 23:42 |
| BazookaTooth | that Im not sure actually, im in vista right now | 23:42 |
| psykroll | j_: so is that the file check thing I can choose in the bios? | 23:42 |
| BazookaTooth | Ill boot and find out yay | 23:42 |
| ls3 | sorry Broadcom, how should i install it? | 23:42 |
| dvs | jeleta: gparted | 23:42 |
| magnetron | draginxx: you may need to enable or disable "mic boost" in the mixer settings | 23:42 |
| LtL | Acorn: its better to do windows then linux for a clean mbr w/grub | 23:42 |
| _InFuRitY_ | cory: it was working yesterday.. but wen i change my domain name.. i cant browse it anymore | 23:42 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | so I can be root, just using sudo before any command? | 23:42 |
| draginxx | magnetron, can I do that via alsamixer? Trying to find where I cna do that =/ | 23:42 |
| Broadcom | ls3: download the package and move it to the computer, then install the steps | 23:42 |
| j_ | psykroll: That is what I'm trying to make ubuntu run when it reboots yeah | 23:42 |
| BazookaTooth | hopefully back soon without my pc exploding | 23:42 |
| jrib | Elad-Ubuntu: sure, or if you want something like 'su -', use 'sudo -i' | 23:43 |
| ls3 | Broadcom: where the steps? the patch steps? | 23:43 |
| LtL | Elad-Ubuntu: exactly yes | 23:43 |
| j_ | psykroll: Google isn't being very helpful .. but I'll find it :) | 23:43 |
| turbolover | error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory | 23:43 |
| robg_ | BazookaTooth: You will have to shut down and boot Gparted and examine the drive and devise a strategy. Do not make any wrong choices. | 23:43 |
| cory | _infurity_: yes thats what happens. It takes up to 24 hours for a domain to propogate. This isnt an ubuntu bug. You need to talk with your host/domain name provider such as goddady. They will give you support | 23:43 |
| magnetron | draginxx: i use the regular mixer. double click on the speaker icon | 23:43 |
| Broadcom | ls3: could you please give me the link i gave you? i forgot | 23:43 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: using sudo is just the same as being root with the difference that you will afterwards still know who executed the command | 23:43 |
| Acorn | i actually have windows still installed, maybe i should just leave it. | 23:43 |
| jeleta | so with gparted i can create a partiton and not delete ubuntu because i tried and it wont let me do anything | 23:43 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | it's not security dangerous to do that? | 23:43 |
| Acorn | but for some reason i can't use my keyboard at the login screen :( | 23:43 |
| draginxx | magnetron, not giving me the option to boost = | 23:43 |
| draginxx | But yeah, boosting would help for sure. | 23:43 |
| ariqs | does anyone know why the ltmodem has support for i386 and not i686? | 23:43 |
| cory | I still need help with crashing. I will probably crash again soon. | 23:43 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | to give normal users to be root? | 23:43 |
| j_ | psykroll: Whoop think I got it .. hold on :) | 23:43 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: you can if you want limit the sudo rights in /etc/sudoers like for example not to allow the user to edit /etc/sudoers | 23:44 |
| LtL | Elad-Ubuntu: only the first user uponn install is added to that su-doers list. | 23:44 |
| Pici | Elad-Ubuntu: Only if they are in the admin group (no need to directly edit the sudoers file) | 23:44 |
| magnetron | draginxx: you need to check the mixer settings, as i told you. | 23:44 |
| _InFuRitY_ | ahhh .. ok.. i think i will wait for it to propogate.. anyways.. im just using dyndns. | 23:44 |
| nadjavox | i need help with booting ubuntu - my computer won't boot up unless I edit the boot properties in grub to ide=bios acpi=off noapic usb-handoff. is there a way to save the boot options so that i don't have to type them each time? | 23:44 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | ohh only the first user... | 23:44 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | I see... | 23:44 |
| draginxx | magnet, right, I have double clicked on the sound tihng and I see "Internal Mic: | 23:45 |
| draginxx | but there is no boost option | 23:45 |
| Acorn | maybe i should just turn this computer into a pure ubuntu system, is there anything i should do before? like anything to clean the hard disk or anything? | 23:45 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: not is not as you need to be sudo to install something, if that would be a keylogger for example you'd need to be sudo first to but you cant as you wanna instsall the keylogger to find out the password;) | 23:45 |
| j_ | psykroll: ok I think I have it ... | 23:45 |
| draginxx | Ihave tried using alsamixer and couldnt find the boost option in there | 23:45 |
| cory | _infurity_: then yes you need to talk with them. Their support should help you. | 23:45 |
| draginxx | And, I tried getting the asla mixer gui | 23:45 |
| j_ | psykroll: We need to do a small edit to a file.... ready? | 23:45 |
| psykroll | j_: ready when u are, friend | 23:45 |
| magnetron | draginxx: did you check in the mixer settings? | 23:45 |
| dvs | I'm about to get a new internal and an external hdd. what should i remember to make both play well with windows and ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| cory | Is anybody available to assist me in my computer crashing issues. | 23:45 |
| draginxx | magnetron, yeah | 23:45 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | if I will edit /etc/group and I will change the admin:x:115:elad to admin:x:115:root , then I will need to give root password to install packages from GUI ? | 23:45 |
| j_ | psykroll: type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" | 23:46 |
| Acorn | ok, hopefully when i'm back i'll be running off my hd, wish me luck ;D | 23:46 |
| j_ | psykroll: Warning: BE CAREFUL when editing this file :) | 23:46 |
| magnetron | draginxx: in the mixer, edit > preferences? | 23:46 |
| jrib | psykroll, j_: to run fsck, you just touch /forcefsck | 23:46 |
| draginxx | magnetron, yup | 23:46 |
| LtL | Elad-Ubuntu: bad idea that. | 23:46 |
| j_ | jrib: Seriously? That's it? | 23:46 |
| blumm | can anybody recommend a good ftp-client with ssl/proxy/fxp support? | 23:46 |
| magnetron | draginxx: then it's not available | 23:46 |
| Pici | Elad-Ubuntu: Have you read this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:46 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | BRB | 23:46 |
| remoteCTRL | Elad-Ubuntu: agree with LtL | 23:46 |
| draginxx | Meh, this sucks | 23:47 |
| jrib | Elad-Ubuntu: think about why you want that behavior. What's the advantage? | 23:47 |
| draginxx | I guess when I want to use mic I could always use the external which works fine | 23:47 |
| Loligaga | HEY! anyone know good video tutorial cites for blender | 23:47 |
| j_ | psykroll: Ok new plan! :) "touch /forcefsk" | 23:47 |
| jrib | j_: yep | 23:47 |
| cory | jrib: are you available to assist me in an issue I have with a computer stability issue? I keep getting crashes that I am unable to fix. | 23:47 |
| draginxx | but it loos awful to use it on a webcam since its so big ;x | 23:47 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: it's possible that there's a better solution to just adding those kernel boot options... what type of hard disc do you have? | 23:47 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | I'll BRB | 23:47 |
| Elad-Ubuntu | 5 min | 23:47 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: filezilla? | 23:47 |
| j_ | jrib: Sweet thanks ... couldn't find any info about that on google | 23:47 |
| jrib | cory: run a memtest if they just seem random | 23:47 |
| magnetron | draginxx: lowering the volume may also improve the sound quality | 23:47 |
| cory | jrib: i have 100% working. Its not an issue with my memory. its a graphics issue. | 23:47 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: i have a sata hd - 250 gb | 23:48 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: do you know anything else? also without gui? | 23:48 |
| Broadcom | !ot > Broadcom | 23:48 |
| draginxx | magnetron, yup did that too thanks mate :) gonna check out the alsa mixer and see if a newer version supports my sound card better | 23:48 |
| cory | jrib: my windows xp is stable. Im new to linux | 23:48 |
| jrib | cory: use a different video driver (maybe vesa) and see if they still happen | 23:48 |
| j_ | psykroll: Get that? "touch /forcefsck" | 23:48 |
| psykroll | sudo touch/forcefsk, got it | 23:48 |
| j_ | psykroll: Sorry typoed the first one .. forgot the "c" | 23:48 |
| j_ | psykroll: I know .. slap me .. it's friday and I'm still at work :( | 23:48 |
| mad_max02 | anyone here with medical phd ?? | 23:48 |
| cory | jrib: i have ati radeon xpress 200. Crashes occur with both the opensource and the fglrx(restricted) driver. | 23:49 |
| jrib | !offtopic | mad_max02 | 23:49 |
| ubottu | mad_max02: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:49 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: nope sry i dont ftp without gui exept if i use the ftp command | 23:49 |
| jrib | cory: what happens exactly on a crash? | 23:49 |
| psykroll | j_: asked for password and is now ready for next command. no error! | 23:49 |
| j_ | psykroll: sweet! | 23:49 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: ok thanks | 23:49 |
| psykroll | reboot? | 23:49 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: it is possible to add the options for every boot but if we can get sata support to work properly you'll get much better performance | 23:49 |
| magnetron | draginxx: make sure you have muted the mic in your playback, it should be 0 % for playback and only enabled for recording. a new version of alsamixer will not change your sound quality, this has to do with your sound card | 23:49 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: no prob | 23:49 |
| cory | jrib: i get an our of range black screen with the open source driver. | 23:49 |
| j_ | psykroll: ok now get ready and brace yourself 'cause this is the really really hard part ... | 23:49 |
| JuJuBee | Anybody here use UT2004 with ATI 9700 video? | 23:49 |
| j_ | psykroll: ready? | 23:49 |
| j_ | psykroll: reboot :) | 23:49 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: which version of ubuntu have you installed? | 23:50 |
| draginxx | magnetron, I dont thinkI have a playback option | 23:50 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: one thing, i never found out how to fxp with filezilla | 23:50 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: hardy heron...had the same problem on feisty and gutsy | 23:50 |
| JuJuBee | I get an error when I try to run...Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual | 23:50 |
| dvs | if i drag an ubuntu .iso to an empty drive that is big enough, does that become the same as a bootable live cd version? | 23:50 |
| cory | jrib: sometimes i recieve a full system crash with a white screen but that is mostly with the restricted driver. I dont get the out of range error. If i get the white screen i cant do anything but with the out of range i can ctrl-alt-backspace to logout. | 23:51 |
| ls3 | i think there is some problem while doing the make, Broadcom | 23:51 |
| magnetron | draginxx: yes you have. all sound cards have to mixers: one for playback and one for recording. your mic should be set to 0% in the playback options | 23:51 |
| jrib | cory: tried disabling effects (compiz)? | 23:51 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: can you run 'lspci' and put the output in a pastebin? | 23:51 |
| ls3 | Broadcom: i put it in pastebin, give me a second | 23:51 |
| RP_SWE | after the update to 8.04 I cant open the printer config window, i tired to type my-default-printer in bash but got a error message, can anybody help me with that? | 23:51 |
| magnetron | draginxx: *two mixers | 23:51 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: uh sry but i didn't reherse the settings...:D | 23:51 |
| jpw27_ | I set up mysql a while ago, but now my configuration has been messed up somehow and i keep getting 'permission denied' errors. what is the easiest way to wipe mysql clean and install a completely fresh copy? | 23:51 |
| robg_ | dvs: a drive is formatted with a file system, either NTFS or ext3. It may also have empty space. | 23:51 |
| scr0ten | hey. anyone who got a broadcom wireless working with WPA on hardy? | 23:51 |
| magnetron | !ask | RP_SWE | 23:52 |
| ubottu | RP_SWE: 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. :-) | 23:52 |
| draginxx | magnetron, sorry yeah -- my interal, ext and docking mic have been set to 0 | 23:52 |
| draginxx | my recording is still up | 23:52 |
| Broadcom | scr0ten: i did | 23:52 |
| draginxx | but no sound is coming form the record now unless my dock is up | 23:52 |
| magnetron | !enter | draginxx | 23:52 |
| ubottu | draginxx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:52 |
| Broadcom | scr0ten: you have wired? | 23:52 |
| cory | jrib: i get the crash running failsafe linux. I cant even login out of failsafe without the restricted driver. I prefer using the open source driver because i can ctrl-alt-backspace if i get the crash. So yes i have compiz disabled. | 23:52 |
| turbolover | is autoconf deprecated? | 23:52 |
| dvs | robg_: i should have mentioned "thumb drive" but what i'm guessing by ur answer is "no" | 23:52 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: i just dont know how to set up 2 server windows (without the local window on the left side)... :( | 23:52 |
| magnetron | draginxx: which "dock"? | 23:53 |
| jrib | cory: and you can't recreate the crash at will? They're just seemingly random? | 23:53 |
| robg_ | dvs: I don't understand drag. You install an OS. | 23:53 |
| SeaPhor | can you edit a man list? | 23:53 |
| scr0ten | Broadcom: I used the steps in "No Fluff", version 0.3, and now unprotected WLANs works (in 7.10 WPA worked aswell) | 23:53 |
| draginxx | magnet, i meant the external mic needs to be > 50% Not sure what dock is lol but is unimportant the only two important ones are interl and external | 23:53 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: aw now i get it you atre talking about ftp-ing from one server to another, aren't you? | 23:53 |
| draginxx | external is really my internal laptop O_o ;) | 23:53 |
| el1te | if i get ununtu can someone for the love of god help me with pulseaudio | 23:53 |
| el1te | or does anyone know anything about it | 23:53 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14212/ | 23:53 |
| blumm | yes, exactly | 23:53 |
| cory | jrib: yes. Seemingly random. I get them sometimes right after i login or sometimes half hour after. | 23:53 |
| Broadcom | scr0ten: did you see the steps for getting WPA to work, and did you do the hardy workaround? | 23:54 |
| DIL | how do i manually add an application to a menu | 23:54 |
| cory | jrib: i believe i was able to fix the bug in fedora taking the following steps. | 23:54 |
| dvs | robg_: if i download a ubuntu live cd .iso and then drag it onto a thumb drive does it become the same as a live cd? | 23:54 |
| robg_ | dvs: forget thumb drives. Use CDs. | 23:54 |
| ls3 | Broadcom: i think i couldn't make, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14213/ | 23:54 |
| scr0ten | Broadcom: I did the hardy workaround, but I did not know there was a step for WPA to work | 23:55 |
| ls3 | this is the link u gave me just now, Broadcom http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=4492814 | 23:55 |
| Broadcom | ls3: did you do ./configure? | 23:55 |
| cory | jrib: booting to runlevel3 then logging in and typing system-config-display --reconfig and manually selecting my hardware | 23:55 |
| jpw27_ | DIL: right click on menu, click 'edit menu', hit 'new item' is what i think you mean | 23:55 |
| ls3 | Broadcom: the link u gave me said, there's no need for ./configure since there is no configure script. After that, edit /etc/modules and add (in this order) : | 23:56 |
| ls3 | Broadcom: i think i don't have the development stuff to make .... | 23:56 |
| scr0ten | guess im not the only one who hates Broadcom cards =) | 23:56 |
| cory | jrib: for example. In windows my default moniter settings are off. I have to auto but in ubuntu it is directly centered. After i did that the fedora became like my windows and the error stopped. | 23:56 |
| j_ | linksys seems to work well in linux ... | 23:57 |
| hexoroid | jpw27_, thats for KDE ? | 23:57 |
| Broadcom | ls3: oh yes, of course. hmm... not sure how to get you those, ask again to find out. sorry | 23:57 |
| DIL | jpw27_: i installed an application but it did not show to add application i can run it from terminal only | 23:57 |
| Broadcom | scr0ten: nope, spent hours on min | 23:57 |
| jrib | cory: tried copying fedora's xorg.conf to ubunut? | 23:57 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: <-googling.. | 23:57 |
| DIL | jpw27_: the GUI that is | 23:57 |
| cory | no. I dont have fedora installed anymore. | 23:57 |
| scr0ten | that's why I love the wonderful ubuntu community :D | 23:58 |
| jpw27_ | DIL: so you mean you type a command from a command line to run the program, and you want an icon on a menu to launch it instead? | 23:58 |
| RP_SWE | oh I hate ubuntu updates | 23:58 |
| RP_SWE | it will always destory something | 23:58 |
| el1te | this channel is to big..to many ppl and no one answer your questions | 23:58 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: thanks, ive been trying gftp, filezilla, wlfxp so far. iglooftp is not for free and now i think i am ready to go for some without gui... :( | 23:58 |
| el1te | they need to have an #ubuntu-chat | 23:58 |
| el1te | i have problems | 23:58 |
| jpw27_ | hexoroid: i don't think so (?) that's how i do it on gnome | 23:58 |
| jrib | cory: not really sure what's going on. This is probably better addressed on the forums or mailing list where more people can see it | 23:58 |
| j_ | elite: keep asking every so often. sound is a difficult topic... | 23:59 |
| Coiotes | I'm trying to copy all of my home directory settings (so, all files beginning with a .) to my USB Linux installation. I don't want my entire home directory copied, only pidgin, thunderbird, etc. settings. Any ideas? | 23:59 |
| jrib | el1te: #ubuntu-offtopic fulfills that role | 23:59 |
| DIL | jpw27_: yes generally there is one placed on the application menu list after installing | 23:59 |
| hexoroid | jpw27_, hmmm | 23:59 |
| cory | jrib: nobody answers my question on the forums. | 23:59 |
| j_ | Acorn: Hey, are you still here? | 23:59 |
| RP_SWE | this is the error I get when I type my-default-printer http://www.pastebin.se/194676 | 23:59 |
| ls3 | i couldn't make, anyone wanna help? | 23:59 |
| ariqs | "no targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 23:59 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: it looks like this issue is the same/very similar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/194196 | 23:59 |
