|---|---|---|
| el1te | well the mods in here need to start sending ppl there | 00:00 |
| cory | jrib: im at the point where im just going to stick with fedora since i dont have the error with it. | 00:00 |
| ls3 | problem here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14213/ | 00:00 |
| el1te | cause everything just flys by like a dcc/xdcc serving channel | 00:00 |
| el1te | this is crazy | 00:00 |
| jpw27_ | DIL: okay, right click on your menu bar, hit 'edit menus', go to whatever submenu you want, press 'new item', and fill in the fields ('Command' field is where you will type the command you usually type | 00:00 |
| * ls3 using xubuntu | 00:00 | |
| quentusrex | Does anyone know of an opensource client management and billing software? Something that can generate invoices based on data in a database? | 00:00 |
| jrib | cory: I wouldn't blame you. I don't see this as an easy thing to track down. You could try a different ubuntu version too and see if that works out better | 00:00 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: so if we can set up an initrd image so those 2 modules can load before the hdd drivers you should have it working with full sata support | 00:01 |
| funkyhat | err | 00:01 |

| jrib | el1te: your the only offtopic person I see here at the moment :) | 00:01 |
| No1CaNTeL | :( So I'm back again wih the same problem, I can't seem to move one of my partitions to the right so I can add more space to another partition. I've tried using the Live CD's GParted and the GParted live cd as well, and I could not get Partition Magic 8 to read the nix partitions. I get a read/write error at sector xxxxxx every time I try to move. I can resize the partition ok, but I cannot move it. does anyone have | 00:01 |
| No1CaNTeL | over? the Check option in gparted did not seem to work :( | 00:01 |
| jrib | you're | 00:01 |
| funkyhat | *so those modules can load before the hdd is mounted - they are the hdd drivers :D | 00:01 |
| hexcypher | has anyone here heard about SETC? | 00:01 |
| oddar | hello, just installd BT on my drive, partition SDA3. I have Ubuntu on SDA1. Problem is the bootloader changed after installing BT. now im probably using LILO on /mnt/sda3/, but i walt to use GRUB on /mnt/sda1. HELP!!! | 00:01 |
| el1te | who do i speak with about using pulseaudio | 00:01 |
| cory | jrib: I think i will take that course of action. My hardware just has problems with linux. | 00:01 |
| DIL | jpw27_: you DA man!! | 00:01 |
| jpw27_ | DIL: i think that is what you're asking. you may have to do some monkeying around to get an icon to show up if you want an icon. otherwise it will be the regular application launch icon | 00:02 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: you cannot move a paritition that contains an OS. | 00:02 |
| jpw27_ | DIL: np | 00:02 |
| jrib | el1te: just ask your question/state your problem on a single line and direct it to the channel. If someone can help, they will respond | 00:02 |
| DIL | jpw27_: ty i am good to go | 00:02 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: Kasablanca and kftgrabber is waht i found so far.. | 00:02 |
| cory | jrib: when i upgrade i will probably try ubuntu again. This system is about 5 years old now anyway. Thanks for your time. | 00:02 |
| el1te | my question fly by so fast no one can read it | 00:02 |
| funkyhat | el1te: ask again :) | 00:02 |
| No1CaNTeL | robg_: mkay, now I wish I had that answer yesterday :P | 00:02 |
| el1te | i have 2 computers (comp 1 = vista box) (comp2= will be linux box)....i take the analog-out of comp1 and put it in comp2 analog-in then its router to its own optical-out (soubdstorm apu) to goto my stereo reciever....when it works ddl and dts sound great | 00:03 |
| hexoroid | samba will work only if the two computers are on a router correct ? | 00:03 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: thanks, kasablanca doesnt seem to support proxy using | 00:03 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: hmm...that looks almost identical. Thank you for finding the bug. I have no idea how to setup an initrd image, but I will read more. thank you | 00:03 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: you can safely delete a partititon or you can reduce it in size by knibbling a piece of the side where there is no data. | 00:03 |
| zaputr | Please, help, Pidgin doesn't view any statuses and qips don't see ma status, can i solve this problem? | 00:03 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: no. they just have to be routable | 00:03 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: if you can ping the boxes, less you have samba firewalled off, it'll work | 00:04 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: I can talk you through it once I've figured it out - just googling it now. I've done it before but forgotten the ins and outs | 00:04 |
| No1CaNTeL | I've retried over and over again. okay, hmmm. the drive I want to move is my home partition, the os is installed on another partition so should I still be able to move the home partition? | 00:04 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| hexoroid | garrett__, well i have a HUB and it has ip 12.* and then linux is plugged into router | 00:04 |
| hexoroid | garrett__, so i guess i can use samba fine ? | 00:04 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: Although Gparted offers the option of moving an OS from one side of the disk to another, if you try it will fail. | 00:05 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: like i said, if you can ping between the two boxes, it should work fine | 00:05 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: kind of hard :D | 00:05 |
| quentusrex | /join #citrusdb | 00:05 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: indeed, wlfxp seemed to be perfect but it doesnt work ;( | 00:05 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: also, 12.* is an internet-routable ip block. use 10.* or 192.168.* | 00:06 |
| oddar | anyone? my GRUB got raped by LILO... help? | 00:06 |
| hexoroid | garrett__, what about transfer rate | 00:06 |
| hexoroid | is it gonna be fast ? | 00:06 |
| funkyhat | el1te: as long as the sound card is supported properly by ALSA pulseaudio can do the routing for that no problem | 00:06 |
| No1CaNTeL | basically I have to areas with unallocated space, I want to put them together but I have another partition in between them (the home partition) which is in the way. is there another way I can go about doing this? | 00:06 |
| No1CaNTeL | or did I screw myself from the start :P | 00:06 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: http://jfxp.sourceforge.net/ ? | 00:06 |
| hexoroid | garrett__, well this windows box has 12.* its not hooked up on router its on the HUB | 00:06 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: ah already found it:/ | 00:06 |
| garrett__ | henxor: that depends on your network card and hub/router. in the least case, it'll be ~1MB/sec; in the other case (more normal, these days), it'll be ~10M/sec | 00:07 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: yes, but i get an error message while using it | 00:07 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: how about re-installing one OS ? | 00:07 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: and java ppl dont know whats wrong... | 00:07 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: ok, well, that doesn't mean anything to me as i have no idea what your network's like | 00:07 |
| No1CaNTeL | mmm, too much backing up too do if it can be avoided I would prefer to do so | 00:07 |
| zaputr | Please, help, Pidgin doesn't view any statuses and qips don't see ma status, can i solve this problem? | 00:07 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: the simplest thing would be to either plug both machines into the router | 00:08 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: use a temporary installed Ubuntu as a stepping stone. | 00:08 |
| Altair | I have question can i have Ubuntu and Ubuntu studio together ? Like the Ubuntu Studio and the Ubutnu 8.04 settings | 00:08 |
| Altair | In different sessions | 00:08 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: which one? | 00:08 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: does your network actually work? as in, can you ping between the two machines? | 00:08 |
| hexoroid | garret router is plugged into Switch.. and windows box is also hooked up into switch and then linux box is hooked into router | 00:08 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: if not, you need to fix that before you worry about samba | 00:08 |
| No1CaNTeL | wait, I misdescribed it a bit. sda1 is my Ubuntu install, sda2 is windows, sda3 is home, then unallocated space :P | 00:08 |
| hexoroid | well i sure cant ping 198.* | 00:08 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: wlfxp. i get java.lang.NullPointerException as error message when using my proxy | 00:08 |
| No1CaNTeL | I am adding to sda2 | 00:08 |
| No1CaNTeL | hmm | 00:09 |
| hexoroid | i can ping external ip of 192.* box | 00:09 |
| hexoroid | i mean | 00:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | how do I go about doing that? | 00:09 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: write all your files to CD. Re-install the OS. | 00:09 |
| oddar | Altair, why would you? isnt ubuntu studio good enough on its own? | 00:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | my personal files? | 00:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | like media | 00:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | dosc, etc | 00:09 |
| No1CaNTeL | docs* | 00:09 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: sounds good. i appreciate your help | 00:09 |
| ryoohki | is there a less crowded dell linux channel? | 00:10 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: are you using a cross-over cable to connect the switch to the router? | 00:10 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: either you live with the current situation or you write everything to CD and do a clean re-install. | 00:10 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: well i know what that error means so i also know that that will be not to find:/ | 00:10 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: or are you using a standard straight-through? | 00:10 |
| remoteCTRL | sa pitty... | 00:10 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: ok, it should be very simpls as there's a package that can automatically generate one for you :-). Start with apt-get install initramfs-tools | 00:11 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: i was told its probably some coding bug | 00:11 |
| hexoroid | standard straight-through for 12.* ip and then linux is on the router | 00:11 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: if it _should_ work and it doesn't, that'd be my first guess. | 00:11 |
| No1CaNTeL | what if I delete the windows partition, should I be able to add the unallocated space to sda3, and then free it up afterwards? | 00:11 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: like i said. 12.* is NOT a PRIVATE IP block | 00:11 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: 12.* is internet routable | 00:11 |
| hexoroid | ok then it has to be privat ip block :-) | 00:11 |
| suriro | No1CaNTeL: are trying to move sda3 to the end? | 00:11 |
| oddar | Altair: is there really a big difference from ubuntu 8,04 and ubuntu studio 8,04? | 00:11 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: kFTPGrabber ? | 00:11 |
| ls3 | Broadcom: i think i found some tips, sudo aptitude install build-essential (maybe need to run for first-time maker) | 00:12 |
| No1CaNTeL | I was trying to move the unallocated space after sda3 over to sda2 | 00:12 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: i tried it and didnt find the socks proxy support | 00:12 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: definitely, null pointer means that some pointer is pointing into nirvana instead of to an object.. | 00:12 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: Gparted will delete a partition (only by deleting the pointer to it). It will also tell you what your options are after that. | 00:12 |
| zSoilworker | g e n i u s | 00:12 |
| suriro | No1CaNTeL: first grow sda3 to the end, then shrink it from the start. Do you get what I say? | 00:12 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: specifically, 12.x is owned by ATT | 00:12 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: gosh i'm slightly running out of ideas slowly:D | 00:12 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: thanks, but as linux newbie i wont be able to change anything to the code - hehe | 00:13 |
| Afromonkey0 | Hi is this the right place for tech help? | 00:13 |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: if this is an internal network, you should be using 10.x or 192.168.x.x | 00:13 |
| zSoilworker | Afromonkey0: About Ubuntu, it is. | 00:13 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: it's already installed 0.85eubuntu36 | 00:13 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: haha, me too. iglooftp pro seems to be nice but it costs 30$ :/ | 00:13 |
| No1CaNTeL | suriro: I tried that but it fails as it first frees the space to the right then it tries to move the filesystem which fails | 00:13 |
| Afromonkey0 | great thanks | 00:13 |
| No1CaNTeL | robg_: See I was hoping to know those options before I delete anything :P | 00:14 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: which was the reason that i dodn't mention it... | 00:14 |
| RP_SWE | if a python script is trying to import cups and gtk.glade and cant find them where can I find these files and were should they be? | 00:14 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: ok that's cool. run gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 00:14 |
| RP_SWE | the script im talking about is my-default-printer.py | 00:14 |
| Altair | oddar a bit theres more programs for music edting and photos editing programs | 00:14 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: I can understand that but parititioning remains risky business with sometimes unpredictable outcomes. | 00:15 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: yea, this sucks badly. i cant imagine there isnt any ftp client which can do all this | 00:15 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/04/crossftp-synchronization-tool-and.html ? | 00:15 |
| No1CaNTeL | but again, if I was to delete sda2 then add the space from sda2 to sda3, then resize sda3 so the new free space gets appended to the already free space after sda3? | 00:15 |
| garrett__ | hexeor: that said, if you're computers aren't on the same subnet, you're going to need to setup routing tables to get packets from subnet A to subnet B | 00:15 |
| garrett__ | s/you're/your | 00:15 |
| bobsomebody | hiya | 00:15 |
| tony_ | hi i just got a linksys wrt150n router and was wondering how to setup a secured wireless. the cd that came with it only works on windows | 00:15 |
| * No1CaNTeL wonders if that made any sense :P | 00:15 | |
| garrett__ | hexoroid: of which there are plenty of tutorials for doing | 00:15 |
| bobsomebody | my xorg.conf file looks totally different on 8.04 | 00:15 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: seems to be windows only or web-based | 00:15 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: ok...done | 00:15 |
| Wires | so I've finally made the switch to Ubuntu.. I was planning on duel-booting Windows, but I think I'm just going to use Ubuntu.. I love it | 00:15 |
| Coiotes | I've followed pendrivelinux.com's tutorial for making an Ubuntu pendrive from the livecd, but has anyone had success in copying-over all of one's file settings etc to it? | 00:16 |
| robg_ | No1CanTel: You will have to ask Gparted if that is an option. | 00:16 |
| Wires | although I might install Windows to play games on | 00:16 |
| bobsomebody | im still trying to get dual screen with no success | 00:16 |
| tony_ | hi i just got a linksys wrt150n router and was wondering how to setup a secured wireless. the cd that came with it only works on windows | 00:16 |
| tony_ | can someone help me out? | 00:16 |
| No1CaNTeL | I dont care where the free space comes together, as long as it gets together somehow :P do they have a channel on here as well? | 00:16 |
| funkyhat | tony_: try going to 192.168.1.1 in your browser | 00:16 |
| gordonjcp | tony_: in general you should be able to connect to the router from the wired interface | 00:16 |
| bobsomebody | tony_: http://192.168.1.1 | 00:16 |
| gordonjcp | tony_: it may have a WEP key already set | 00:16 |
| ls3 | one question, how to modify /etc/modules file? | 00:16 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: Operating System : Windows XP/Vista/2003/2000/98, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris. | 00:16 |
| ls3 | i got the Can't open file to write error | 00:17 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | is anyone in hear good with postfix? | 00:17 |
| blumm | remoteCTRL: but its not for free? | 00:17 |
| tony_ | it prompts me for username and password | 00:17 |
| bobsomebody | bleh im about to pay someone to fix this crap im so tired of dealing with it | 00:17 |
| gordonjcp | tony_: once you get in, set a WEP or WPA key that's not terribly obvious, and change the router password | 00:17 |
| garrett__ | tonyyarusso: i think the default is admin/pass | 00:17 |
| tony_ | and i didn't set those up yet | 00:17 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: ok add (on a separate line each, at the bottom) sd_mod and sata_nv | 00:17 |
| Afromonkey0 | So my problem is I installed audacity with apt-get, was recording something and tried to increase playback speed for some reason. Audacity crashed and froze the whole OS (ubuntu hardy) so i had to do a hard reboot. Now it says "find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 15: File not found" It gives me different options for boot lines and all return error... | 00:17 |
| Afromonkey0 | ...15. tl:dr ubuntu is bricked | 00:17 |
| garrett__ | tony_: just google for your router's default password | 00:17 |
| bobsomebody | tony_ admin blank | 00:17 |
| tony_ | thnx | 00:17 |
| b0xxy | tony_: admin | admin | 00:17 |
| garrett__ | tony_: my wrt54g is admin/pass *shhrug* | 00:17 |
| bobsomebody | or admin admin | 00:17 |
| bobsomebody | i dont know if they changed up since i last used linksys | 00:18 |
| No1CaNTeL | tony_: go to http://portforwards.com they have lists of most routers | 00:18 |
| gordonjcp | tony_: do make sure you change them ;-) | 00:18 |
| tony_ | admin admin worked thanx! | 00:18 |
| b0xxy | :) | 00:18 |

| tony_ | seting up the wpa for my router and use the mac filtering should be fairly secured right? any other thing i mighte need to know? | 00:22 |
| suriro | ariqs: are you sure that's possible? that's a closed source driver.. hence the name restricted. | 00:23 |
| Amaranth | tyler: try logging in with the Failsafe GNOME session | 00:23 |

| blumm | bye | 00:27 |
| douglas | If I want to broadcast to a shoutcast / icecast (i prefer shoutcast) | 00:27 |
| remoteCTRL | blumm: no prom buddy, good luck with that | 00:27 |
| Jimmy` | need nvivdnvdid help | 00:27 |
| douglas | Should i install meediubuntu? | 00:27 |
| funkyhat | nadjavox: ok try sudo update-initramfs -u | 00:27 |
| tyler | I'm going to cry if I have to install Hardy one more time | 00:27 |

| Pxrbot | Hi, im trying to get my Wacom tablet running properly (its running as a mouse, not as a tablet) and ive got the things it gives me off Synaptic, any suggestions would be of great help :) | 00:27 |
| thespecialone200 | i have made X work before, its just that i think the resolution is set wrong, out of range for my monitor | 00:27 |
| garrett__ | tyler: what's going on? | 00:28 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: which makes it a little harder, you might need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:28 |
| mad_max02 | you sure you installed the video drivers corectly ? | 00:28 |
| Afromonkey0 | Stroganoff: if i do that will i lose my data and setting etc? | 00:28 |
| garrett__ | tyler: all i saw was the "cannot open display :0" | 00:28 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: what about the screen resolution in the menu? | 00:28 |
| tyler | garrett_: I deleted an alsa file and x is crashing on login | 00:28 |
| ThreeFinity | so...I clean installed ubuntu 8.04 on new formatted partitions 3 times now..every time I reboot is says "failed to mount partition" but I can mount those drives from inside the live cd.. | 00:28 |
| Stroganoff | Afromonkey0 no | 00:29 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTRL: i tried "fix X" in recovery mode, it didnt work. probed my gf card, but still that "out of range" message on my monitor. | 00:29 |
| Stroganoff | Afromonkey0 there's also a sample menu.lst further down | 00:29 |
| tyler | garrett_: At first all I was getting was CLI on boot, then I reinstalled gnome-desktop, but x is not wanting to run | 00:29 |
| tyler | garrett_: I've tried to reconfigure it is fail safe with no luck yet | 00:29 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTR1: how can i get into that menu when i cant even boot X? | 00:29 |
| garrett__ | tyler: m | 00:29 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: edit that xorg.conf of yours and kick out exotic resolutions like 1400x1050 and such | 00:29 |
| remoteCTRL | then restart x | 00:29 |
| Afromonkey0 | stroganoff: so if i knew what i was doing i could just write that into it? Thing is i'm new to linux and not farmiliar with command line commands | 00:30 |
| garrett__ | tyler: odd | 00:30 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: i think that worked, i found what my current kernel version is, and set it it update | 00:30 |
| legend2440 | bobsomebody: ati or nvidia? | 00:30 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTRL: ok then how do i edit that? need to get into console somehow | 00:30 |
| garrett__ | tyler: it sounds like something within the bowwels of gnome is still looking for alsa | 00:30 |
| tyler | garrett_: I'm getting a protocal not supported by server, xrdb: can't open dislpay: '0' | 00:30 |
| garrett__ | tyler: have you tried removing the package? | 00:30 |
| bobsomebody | legend2440, one is Ati + Nvidia, other is all ATI | 00:30 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: press crtl+f2 | 00:30 |
| garrett__ | tyler: i'm going to google xrdb, hold on a second | 00:30 |
| tyler | garrett_: Alsa? | 00:30 |
| garrett__ | tyler: er--maybe i misread | 00:31 |
| garrett__ | tyler: yeah, alsa | 00:31 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: then use a editor of choice to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:31 |
| garrett__ | tyler: alsa's a sound system | 00:31 |
| tyler | garrett_: ALSA is a sound driver right? | 00:31 |
| wildfire_ | hello | 00:31 |
| groove | hi everyone, just want to thank all of you for the great support you all give to new users THANK YOU | 00:31 |
| legend2440 | bobsomebody: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=633647 | 00:31 |
| wildfire_ | just trying | 00:31 |
| tyler | garrett_: standby, it can't hurt | 00:31 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: uuuh sry ctrl+alt+f2 of course | 00:31 |
| jooos | I have a problem with "make" after I successfully do ./configure and I try "make" here is what I get: No targets specified and no makefile found. | 00:31 |
| Afromonkey0 | yeah guys, thanks for always giving it your best | 00:32 |
| wildfire_ | how do i go to channels | 00:32 |
| garrett__ | tyler: it's a sound interface. sort of like a bunch of software that sits atop your sound card and allows you to do multi-channel sound when you only have one sound input (like you can listen to mp3s and still hear the audio queues from your mail client) | 00:32 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTR1; long time since i was using those kind of things. how do i edit that file? and remember i need to have root access | 00:32 |
| ThreeFinity | so...I clean installed ubuntu 8.04 on new formatted partitions 3 times now..every time I reboot is says "failed to mount partition" but I can mount those drives from inside the live cd.. | 00:32 |
| Afromonkey0 | wildfire "/join #channelname" | 00:32 |
| lnar | joos try make install | 00:32 |
| Stroganoff | wildfire_: /j #chanel | 00:32 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: here is the result - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14219/ | 00:32 |
| ThreeFinity | Could that be a boot loader configuration problem or..? | 00:32 |
| jrib | jooos: read the README, read the output of ./configure carefully, if that does not help you, read the source code | 00:32 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: change back to your graphics console with ctrl+alt+f7 but you need to restart gdm before that in order to the changes to have effect | 00:32 |
| garrett__ | tyler: if gnome was configured to use alsa as its sound interface, it might be blowing up somewhere when alsa's crashing | 00:32 |
| lnar | jooos try make install, or see readme | 00:32 |
| tyler | garrett_: But it crashed xfe interface as well | 00:32 |
| bobsomebody | legend2440, im loading it now :) | 00:33 |
| garrett__ | tyler: ideally, if you remove alsa, gnome will reconfigure its self | 00:33 |
| grobda24 | Hello. I just installed Ubuntu within windows from the CD. How do I access my windows drive from within what I assume is a mounted virtual drive. now I have Ubuntu booted ? | 00:33 |
| douglas | :s | 00:33 |
| garrett__ | tyler: yeah, that i can't explain, but it started with alsa, so let's look there first | 00:33 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: well what editor do you use usually? like nano or joey or mcedit...? | 00:33 |
| lnar | jooos try make install, or see readme , or see make u need to build the programs what libraries are needed | 00:33 |
| tyler | garrett__:wish me luck, | 00:33 |
| suriro | Afromonkey0: your problem could be worse than just a missing menu.lst, since you're on wubi | 00:33 |
| garrett__ | tyler: i'll cross my fingers for you | 00:33 |
| nadjavox | funkyhat: thanks again, i am going to reboot and see if that worked | 00:33 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: and yes you need to use sudo in order to open that file writable | 00:33 |
| garrett__ | tyler: and if we have to, we can just reinstall X. it shouldn't be much work | 00:33 |
| DaVinci2008 | I have a problem | 00:33 |
| DaVinci2008 | I installed Ubuntu | 00:33 |
| ariqs | suriro: they won't compile for me though. i get errors /: | 00:34 |
| Afromonkey0 | suriro: i don't understand how it would happen though, i just did a hard reboot after a freeze up | 00:34 |
| DaVinci2008 | I could mount my NTFS partitions from Places menu | 00:34 |
| tyler | garrett__:This is all Creative's fault, If they would just release a friggin proprietary driver none of this would have happened | 00:34 |
| ryoohki | is there a specific channel for speaking about dell omsa on ubuntu server 8.04 LTS? | 00:34 |
| jooos | it tells me : "no rule to make target install" | 00:34 |
| garrett__ | tyler: hehe | 00:34 |
| garrett__ | tyler: i feel your pain :P | 00:34 |
| DaVinci2008 | but now an error appears: mount point cannot contain the following characters, newline, / | 00:34 |
| DaVinci2008 | why? | 00:34 |
| tyler | garrett__: Looks like your gonna guide me through reinstalling xserver | 00:34 |
| DaVinci2008 | I did nothing | 00:34 |
| DaVinci2008 | just installed updates | 00:35 |
| tyler | garrett__:it didn't work | 00:35 |
| DaVinci2008 | and wow | 00:35 |
| mack | interesting. | 00:35 |
| FloodBot3 | DaVinci2008: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:35 |
| DaVinci2008 | I cannot see my NTFS partitions | 00:35 |
| DaVinci2008 | oh, sorry | 00:35 |
| DaVinci2008 | I am new | 00:35 |
| tyler | garrett__:Booting back into failsafe | 00:35 |
| garrett__ | tyler: can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if there's anything interesting in there? | 00:35 |
| lnar | <DaVinci2008> if u want to automatically mount the partition, sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 00:35 |
| DaVinci2008 | ok | 00:35 |
| lnar | <DaVinci2008> sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 00:35 |
| tyler | garrett__: whats the command for that | 00:35 |
| garrett__ | tyler: that's the log file for X. if anything goofy's going on, it's a good bet that it'll be listed there. | 00:35 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTR1: i think i used PICO or something..? | 00:35 |
| DaVinci2008 | thanks! | 00:35 |
| poseidon | Is there a codec I can install to get dvd's to run with vlc/mplayer on ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| lnar | <DaVinci2008> sudo gedit /etc/fstab see there what says in the partition u are tryin to mount | 00:36 |
| garrett__ | tyler: try 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | 00:36 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTR1 but it has to be in the ubuntu linux cause i have a standard install | 00:36 |
| DIL | cant mount my windows share says it is already mounted but i dont see it | 00:36 |
| Stroganoff | !medibuntu | poseidon | 00:36 |
| ubottu | poseidon: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:36 |
| garrett__ | tyler: that'll spit a whooole bunch of shit at you. but you're probably only interested in the last 20lines or so | 00:36 |
| garrett__ | tyler: you can use shift+pgup/shift+pgdown to scroll around | 00:36 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: what do you mean by that? | 00:36 |
| Broadcom | garrett__: no cursing | 00:36 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTR1: my text editor | 00:36 |
| suriro | Afromonkey0: AFAIK wubi does not access hard disk natively.. that's not good for native failover mechanisms. You might seek some wubi centric support | 00:36 |
| DaVinci2008 | so, the problem was that sudo thing. I had no permissions | 00:37 |
| thespecialone200 | remoteCTR1: how about if i type "sudo gedit c:\xorg.conf" ? | 00:37 |
| garrett__ | Broadcom: ah sorry | 00:37 |
| tyler | garrett__:hmmm alot of hex, I'm not seeing any errors. client 2 rejected from local hos (UID 1000) | 00:37 |
| Afromonkey0 | suriro: thanks for the advice. do you know where i can get wubi-centric help? | 00:37 |
| DaVinci2008 | can I be just root, bypassing sudo? | 00:37 |
| arpreply | date | 00:37 |
| garrett__ | tyler: that probablyshouldn't be there | 00:37 |
| garrett__ | tyler: xrdb was causing problems, you say? | 00:37 |
| Broadcom | DaVinci2008: use su | 00:37 |
| lnar | <DaVinci2008> sudo su | 00:37 |
| tyler | Garrett__:yes | 00:37 |
| arpreply | sudo -s | 00:37 |
| Broadcom | !tab > lnar | 00:38 |
| tyler | garrett__:I thought UID was a drive interface? | 00:38 |
| rickyfingers | DaVinci2008: sudo bash | 00:38 |
| DaVinci2008 | my pass does not work | 00:38 |
| garrett__ | tyler: it i | 00:38 |
| garrett__ | tyler: it is | 00:38 |
| ThreeFinity | so...I clean installed ubuntu 8.04 on new formatted partitions 3 times now..every time I reboot is says "failed to mount partition" but I can mount those drives from inside the live cd.. | 00:38 |
| Stroganoff | DaVinci2008 and use 'exit' when done rooting | 00:38 |
| DaVinci2008 | does root has one password by default? | 00:38 |
| remoteCTRL | thespecialone200: well thatll not lead you to far as the file is not located in c: but as i am writing for the third time now in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:38 |
| dvs_ | can you install ubuntu from a usb drive? | 00:38 |
| DaVinci2008 | it worked, the sudo bash, thanks | 00:38 |
| arpreply | DaVinci2008: sudo -s to root and add a pass with passwd | 00:38 |
| Broadcom | !prefix | DaVinci2008 | 00:38 |
| ubottu | DaVinci2008: 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 :) | 00:38 |

The computer is on AC and has been configured in power manager to never do anything. Can someone help disable this pesky automatic unwanted screensaving? | 00:43 |
| garrett__ | tyler: try removing alsa-base | 00:43 |
| DaVinci2008 | xset something | 00:43 |
| garrett__ | tyler: that should remove all dependent packages | 00:43 |
| tyler | garrett__:just did, no luck | 00:43 |
| remoteCTRL | ha! i got the same issue AskHL | 00:43 |
| garrett__ | tyler: same xrdb error? | 00:43 |
| lnar | <AskHL> see if anyother user has it enable, see root... | 00:43 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: Broadcom:modprob needs an option in its usage and lspci does not show the module being used by this particular card | 00:43 |
| tyler | garrett__: Rebooting | 00:44 |
| garrett__ | tyler: it's got to be your window manager that's mucking up... X has no native understanding of sound devices | 00:44 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: lspci tells you what hardware the o/s sees. | 00:44 |
| ihcus | inar: is there anything i should edit ? | 00:44 |
| AskHL | remoteCTRL, then at least I'm not alone! There's a chance someone will get around to fixing it then, I suppose | 00:44 |
| Zaphod` | I was wondering if i could get some help getting my computer to duel boot properly? I found a thread last night thta would help me but I've been searching for ages now and I can't seem to find it again | 00:44 |

| arpreply | AskHL: have you restarted xscreensaver daemon? | 00:44 |
| tyler | garrett__:maybe i should sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 00:44 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: i need to know what mode is being used for that hardware | 00:44 |
| AskHL | lnar, "see root"? What do you mean by that? | 00:44 |
| remoteCTRL | lnar: how should that affect if you are not logged in as root?? | 00:44 |
| lnar | <ihcus> what where u tryin to do? hehe im lost | 00:44 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: module* | 00:44 |

| remoteCTRL | AskHL: i hope so as that is extremstly annoying when watching movs | 00:45 |
| AskHL | arpreply, I will look into that. I take it that it might be an artifact of having two different screen saver systems, gnome vs X | 00:45 |
| Laurenceb | they are corrupted | 00:45 |
| arpreply | Laurenceb: medibuntu.org | 00:45 |
| kumarphilly | rickyfingers, qemu ? | 00:45 |
| ihcus | inar: i can increase the horizontal and vertical desktops but i cannot increse the number of desktops! | 00:45 |

| Laurenceb | hmf | 00:45 |
| rickyfingers | kumarphilly: good vm for linux I use it all the time | 00:45 |
| lnar | <AskHL> i had the same problem for reason, i enter x with root user and disable screensaver it did worl | 00:45 |
| Acorn | argh, my ubuntu is almost unusable, i can't set it to a reasonable resolution, what do i do? | 00:45 |
| Laurenceb | does anyone know what the problem is? | 00:45 |
| garrett__ | tyler: as far as X is concerned, sound doesn't exist | 00:45 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: i have read the modprobe man page, there is nothing about identifying hardware or PCI ID | 00:45 |
| Laurenceb | as far as wmv goes? | 00:45 |
| garrett__ | tyler: what happens if you type "startx"? | 00:45 |
| arpreply | Laurenceb: yea you don't have the codecs, browse to medibuntu and get the repositories, mf | 00:46 |
| tyler | garrett__: Gray sceen with x for cursor | 00:46 |
| AskHL | lnar, how exactly do you enter x? | 00:46 |
| garrett__ | tyler: then X works | 00:46 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | how come it beeps evertime i touch a key on the keyboard? | 00:46 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: I can't correlate modprobe to lspci, do you know how this is done? | 00:46 |
| Zaphod` | Can someone tell me or point me towards something that will tell me how to make the duel booter see my Windows install? I installed Ubuntu last night and I'm rather lost | 00:46 |
| lnar | <ihcus> there u can add more desktops virtual and horizontal and vertical, what effect are u tryin to enable? | 00:46 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | how come it beeps evertime i touch a key on the keyboard? | 00:46 |
| kumarphilly | rickyfingers, bette then virtual box and vm server? | 00:46 |
| garrett__ | tyler: something in gnome is mucked. | 00:46 |
| tyler | garrett__:Yeah but the xfc I install is crashing it | 00:46 |
| DaVinci2008 | sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf, no? | 00:46 |
| hexoroid | WIDESPREADpanic, no need to repeat | 00:46 |
| garrett__ | tyler: you could try fluxbox just to get it up and running | 00:46 |
| lnar | <AskHL> login as root | 00:46 |
| ihcus | inar : i cannot get the cube working ... | 00:46 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | sorry | 00:46 |
| Acorn | my ubuntu is almost unusable, i can't set it to a reasonable resolution, what do i do? | 00:46 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: use lsmod | less this will tell you whether or not a module is loaded. | 00:47 |
| tyler | garrett__:I can't fetch any archives | 00:47 |
| garrett__ | tyler: apt-get install fluxbox | 00:47 |
| garrett__ | tyler: oooh | 00:47 |
| garrett__ | tyler: no network? | 00:47 |
| ihcus | inar:i think i need to increse the number of desktops on my computer but i am unable to do it .. | 00:47 |
| kumarphilly | Acorn, crappy vid card or soemthing? drivers maybe | 00:47 |
| arpreply | Acorn: what is your video ? | 00:47 |
| rickyfingers | If the module is loaded, and hardware is not working the way you think it should the problem is not with the driver. | 00:47 |
| tyler | garrett__: Yeah it's down know | 00:47 |
| kumarphilly | rickyfingers, so is it comparable to vm server and virtual box | 00:47 |
| Acorn | nvidia gforce4 ti 4200 | 00:47 |
| tyler | garrett__:looks like another clean install | 00:47 |
| AskHL | lnar, I can sudo. Is that not good enough? I don't have the root user enabled | 00:47 |
| Acorn | i installed the restricted driver | 00:47 |
| Acorn | *enabled | 00:47 |
| garrett__ | tyler: hm | 00:47 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: what good is a loaded module if the hardware isn't using it? | 00:48 |
| tyler | garrett__:Would any of this be on the install cd? | 00:48 |
| === zSoilworker_ is now known as Soilworker | ||
| NitroGlyceriX | Hi folks ;) | 00:48 |
| garrett__ | tyler: everything but fluxbox should be | 00:48 |
| Laurenceb | hmm theres so much on medibuntu | 00:48 |
| NitroGlyceriX | question : with which command can I see if a program belongs to main, restricted, universe or multiverse ? | 00:48 |
| Acorn | but now my maximum resolution has got even smaller! | 00:48 |
| rickyfingers | kumarphilly: Yes, but it is more "bare bones" you have to install any software by hand. | 00:48 |
| === Soilworker is now known as zSoilworker | ||
| Laurenceb | and my system is extremely unresponsive | 00:48 |
| lnar | <ihcus> u can increase the number of virtual desktops only... so u should be able to do so if u are usin compiz with compiz-manager if u have not enable compiz then in gnome applet there is an application that does that | 00:48 |
| Starnestommy | NitroGlyceriX: aptitude show packagename | 00:48 |
| garrett__ | tyler: you could reinstall xserver-xorg | 00:48 |
| arpreply | Laurenceb: not really, add the repos and follow the guide for the 'entire repo' | 00:48 |
| NitroGlyceriX | Starnestommy, tx so much | 00:48 |
| garrett__ | tyler: that should blow away all your old configs | 00:49 |
| rickyfingers | But it's great for running something like plain old debian. Works fine in Ubuntu. | 00:49 |
| Laurenceb | can anyone advise me what packages to get then? | 00:49 |
| garrett__ | tyler: and save you the hour and a half of reinstall time | 00:49 |
| bazhang_ | WIDESPREADpanic, go to sound prefs (tab) system beep and uncheck | 00:49 |
| tyler | garrett__:how would I tell it to access the cd an not the repositories? | 00:49 |
| rickyfingers | To get started, google, "ubuntu windows xp" | 00:49 |
| arpreply | Laurenceb: there is one for dvd and one for non-free codecs | 00:49 |
| ThreeFinity | in the example (hd0,0) the first 0 is the drive and the 2nd 0 is the partition correct? | 00:49 |
| komputes | How can I tell what "module" (driver) a specific wifi card is using? | 00:49 |
| lnar | <AskHL> enable root login and do so, then restart, desable root login i had the same problem and solve it that way | 00:49 |
| garrett__ | tyler: mount the disk, then dpkg --insatll package.deb | 00:49 |
| arpreply | "read with your eyes" | 00:49 |
| Acorn | arpreply: what do you think? | 00:49 |
| Laurenceb | ok, but it will take me 5 minutes just to load up the window | 00:49 |
| garrett__ | tyler: if it doesn't work, worst case scenario is that you've spent an extra 5minutes | 00:49 |
| kumarphilly | rickyfingers, can i talk to you in #magicjack plz? hard to get through in #ubuntu lol | 00:49 |
| Laurenceb | top shows processor use at around 15% | 00:49 |
| Laurenceb | dont get it | 00:49 |
| tyler | garrett__:thanks for you help | 00:50 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | thanks | 00:50 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: What I'm trying to show you is there are certain commands you can use to determine whether or not the o/s sees the hardware, and whether or not drivers are loaded to use the hardware. | 00:50 |
| ihcus | inar: can u be clear..as i have already installed advanced compiz settings ...and it is located in my system under the preferences | 00:50 |
| === david__ is now known as subinfinity | ||
| komputes | rickyfingers: it's the in-between (correlation) that i'm looking for | 00:50 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: once you eliminate these factors of the o/s, you can further troubleshoot. | 00:50 |
| tyler | garrett__:Anyway you think i could fix it with the live cd? | 00:50 |
| arpreply | Acorn: restricted driver with 8.04 should be ok.. run install and run nvidia-settings. describe exactly what it's doing. | 00:50 |
| lnar | ihcus, wait one sec i have spanish version of ubunut | 00:51 |
| garrett__ | tyler: the package should be there, yes | 00:51 |
| Acorn | arpreply: run install? | 00:51 |
| arpreply | Acorn: install.. | 00:51 |
| garrett__ | tyler: if you can get X installed from the live cd, then the package has to be there. | 00:51 |
| AskHL | lnar, thank you. I will do that | 00:51 |
| Acorn | arpreply: run what install? | 00:51 |
| tyler | garrett__:ok, the live cd boots just fine, i guess I should have mentioned that | 00:51 |
| DaVinci2008 | entonces lnar habla español? | 00:51 |
| lnar | ihcus, ok... are u sure that u are runin compiz??? in appearance u have desktop effects enable???? | 00:51 |
| ihcus | inar: ok dude | 00:51 |
| lnar | si davinchi pero aca solo ingles | 00:52 |
| Fishscene | Is it possible to run 32-bit programs in Ubuntu 64-bit | 00:52 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: I don't understand what factors i have to eliminate, i just understand "Card" + "Module" = "Working", I know the card and it's PCI ID, I know 2 or three drivers it COULD be using, i need to confirm which one itt IS using | 00:52 |
| garrett__ | tyler: see if you can find xserver-xorg on there anywhere | 00:52 |
| arpreply | Acorn: do you have any X at all or are you strictly console? Acorn: sudo apt-get nvidia-settings | 00:52 |
| ihcus | inar: sure i have enabled them | 00:52 |
| garrett__ | tyler: or any xorg .deb files | 00:52 |
| DaVinci2008 | lnar: cool! | 00:52 |
| === subinfinity is now known as sbnfnty | ||
| DaVinci2008 | talking about languages... I installed French packages but it appears in English, everything | 00:52 |
| lnar | ok ihcus | 00:52 |
| DaVinci2008 | even Mozilla | 00:52 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: dmesg | less | 00:52 |
| ihcus | inar: desktop effects enable???? i have only advanced compiz settings | 00:52 |
| Fishscene | DaVinci2008, did you set your default language to French? | 00:52 |
| lnar | the go to desktop size tab | 00:52 |
| Acorn | arpreply: what does X mean? I've just installed ubuntu, got the updates, then enables the restricted driver which popped up.. then restarted again | 00:53 |
| DaVinci2008 | ? | 00:53 |
| Acorn | arpreply: should i disable it and do it through terminal instead? | 00:53 |
| lnar | and there is an option for each horizontal and vertical number of desktops, and under those options u have another option for number of desktops | 00:53 |
| tyler | garrett__:Alright booting in now | 00:53 |

| arpreply | Acorn: if you want to set your resolution easily. Run nvidia-settings and configure your screen. Type 'sudo apt-get nvidia-settings' in a console | 00:53 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: ubuntu's in need of a Device Manager | 00:54 |
| ThreeFinity | Anything in taht line that looks wrong? that might keep a partition from mounting at boot? | 00:54 |
| DaVinci2008 | Fishscene: yes, I did. But after restarting, it is still in English | 00:54 |
| Fishscene | No idea =\ | 00:54 |
| ihcus | inar:exactly | 00:54 |
| lnar | ihcus if u dont see the desktops see if u have the desktop applet enable rightclickin on the gnome panel then add to panel... | 00:54 |

| Starnestommy | Fishscene: it is | 00:55 |
| ihcus | inar: that is where i stumbled i cannot increase the number more than 1 ...although i see the column | 00:55 |

| rickyfingers | Fishscene: absolutely, you may need to set up a chroot'ed environment. Google is your friend. | 00:55 |
| arpreply | Acorn: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 00:55 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: this doesn't really help me, it's quite verbose and not containing any searchable keywords relating to the hardware OR the module | 00:55 |
| Starnestommy | Fishscene: you'll need ia32-libs installed, though | 00:55 |
| garrett__ | powertools: any way to pastebin your Xorg.0.log file? | 00:55 |
| Fishscene | mmk.. sounds like a project to tackle when I have some time. :) Thanks guys. | 00:55 |
| arpreply | (why aren't we having nvidia-settings run upon reboot after the restricted install?) | 00:56 |
| lnar | ihcus ok u have the cube plugin enable? | 00:56 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: not sure... its not this computer | 00:56 |
| arpreply | "your resolution sucks, click here to configure" | 00:56 |
| * delcoyote hi | 00:56 | |
| DaVinci2008 | Does anybody know how to really change the language of Ubuntu? I changed it to French, but everything is still in English... | 00:56 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: does anything look "odd"? | 00:56 |
| danbhfive | arpreply: you dont need nvidia-settings if you use restricted drivers manager | 00:56 |
| DaVinci2008 | and Ubuntu downloaded some packages in French | 00:56 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: like.. anything about error or failure or resource? | 00:57 |
| arpreply | danbhfive: oh | 00:57 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: dmesg will tell you what hardware the o/s detects. lspci will confirm that the hardware is detected at runtime, lsmod will tell you what is running, and what modules depend on what. Use that information to determine what modules are driving what hardware. In the end, my question is, what hardware is not working like you think it should be? | 00:57 |
| mohamed__ | Is gdesklets like screenlets of they different ? | 00:57 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: hold on, i'll check it real quick | 00:57 |

| lnar | ihcus to see different desktops in the cube u have to increase the number of horizontal desktops for example 4, not the number of desktops | 00:57 |
| Acorn | arpreply: hehe, okay it's installed now, how to i get to the settings? | 00:57 |
| arpreply | Acorn: gksudo nvidia-settings, then 'X server settings' on the left tree | 00:58 |
| lnar | ihcus to see different desktops in the cube u have to increase the number of horizontal virtual desktops for example 4, not the number of desktops | 00:58 |
| mohamed__ | !gdesklets > mohamed__ | 00:58 |

| ihcus | inar: i have done this | 00:58 |
| lnar | ihcus, so what plugin are u tryin to enable??? | 00:59 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: (!!) mergedFB support has been removed and replaced with xrandr 1.2 | 00:59 |

| alastair1 | I've got as far as using mail but I can't figure out how to run it non-interactively | 00:59 |
| arpreply | Acorn: your screen is actually a client that calls into a server that provides a display. it's called a display server. tell it what resolution you want. | 00:59 |
| lnar | ihcus if u have cube, horizontal desktops will work, and if u dont see the change then u dont have compiz runin | 01:00 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: hm. those are both used for multiple-monitor configurations | 01:00 |

| powertool08 | garrett__: (WW) Radeon(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ... | 01:00 |

| Ringwaith | /server -m irc.thyexile.net | 01:00 |
| Acorn | arpreply: I can't change the settings, because my resolution is low, it keeps moving the window partly onto my other work area when I click. | 01:01 |
| Ringwaith | /server -m irc.thyexile.net -j #Main | 01:01 |
| ihcus | inar: the horizontal cube is working i mean i can rotate but i ctrl+alt+ down key is not working ? | 01:01 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: yes it did, i can't remember what i changed to break it, i know i was trying to get it to have one resolution on the laptop screen, another on a non-widescreen secondary | 01:01 |
| Ringwaith | & | 01:01 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | how do i copy directories in bash , cp isnt working | 01:01 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, comment out 'Load "DRI"' in the modules section -- to comment something out, place a # in front of the line | 01:01 |
| Ringwaith | ** | 01:01 |
| ihcus | inar: how do i check if compiz is running or not ? | 01:01 |
| Starnestommy | WIDESPREADpanic: cp -r | 01:01 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: in fact, comment out everything in modules | 01:01 |
| rickyfingers | WIDESPREADpanic: cp -rRp | 01:01 |
| arpreply | danbhfive: why would Acorn's screen be like that after installing via restricted? that doesn't seem right | 01:01 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | what does -rRp stand for? | 01:02 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: i also tried to get compiz to start with gnome but something wasn't starting right and it loaded some of compiz but didn't have window decorations | 01:02 |

| garrett__ | powertool08: gconftool-2 –type string –set /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager “metacity” | 01:02 |
| komputes | rickyfingers: thanks: it was lsmod, which correlates with the name on dmesg | 01:02 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: that'll disable compiz | 01:03 |
| arpreply | Acorn: you're going to need to use your alt key and left click to move the window over.. it grabs the window anywhere so you can slide it on to your screen where the buttons are. sorry it's hard. | 01:03 |
| jrib | WIDESPREADpanic: man cp explains what they do | 01:03 |

| danbhfive | !beryl > imjesus_1 | 01:03 |
| Starnestommy | imjesus_1: it merged with compiz to form compiz-fusion | 01:03 |
| rickyfingers | komputes: no problemo dude. device drivers are always a pain in the a$$ | 01:03 |
| arpreply | Acorn: hold down left alt key and drag the window to where you need it | 01:03 |
| imjesus_1 | where do i bget it | 01:03 |
| jrib | WIDESPREADpanic: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:04 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: i don't see a modules section... | 01:04 |
| jrib | imjesus_1: system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects | 01:04 |

| garrett__ | powertool08: also, i haven't tried doing dual-head display stuff in a couple of years, but the last time i was, it was unable to do different resolutions in multiple displays | 01:04 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: hm. | 01:04 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: try just disabling compiz | 01:04 |

| ihcus | inar: my headphone jack is not working and i cannot listen to sounds from my headphones | 01:05 |
| ntolo | Actually what the problem can be if you dont get smooth text in ubuntu | 01:05 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: using the command i said earlier | 01:05 |
| lnar | <ihcus> see soundconfig appelt in gnome in properties check that | 01:05 |
| ntolo | I have another laptop running ubuntu too but its font is very smooth. | 01:06 |

| imjesus_1 | where do i get compiz | 01:06 |
| ihcus | inar: i have done this before and it still doesnt work | 01:06 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: error while parsing options: unknow option -type | 01:06 |

| garrett__ | powertool08: huh. try just uninstalling compiz | 01:06 |
| jrib | imjesus_1: I just told you | 01:06 |
| Acorn | arpreply: I have a feeling the only resolution setting is auto :( | 01:06 |
| imjesus_1 | i type that in terminal | 01:06 |
| lnar | ihcus... mmmmmmm what sound card u have? | 01:06 |
| jrib | imjesus_1: I told you how to enable it through the menus | 01:07 |
| ihcus | inar: idont see any headphone options in it | 01:07 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | so why doesnt ubuntu come with a software firewall? | 01:07 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: unfortunately, I have a hard time sorting out X problems less I can actually see the configuration files :( | 01:07 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | security risk | 01:07 |
| imjesus_1 | ok thx | 01:07 |
| Starnestommy | WIDESPREADpanic: it does. It's called iptables | 01:07 |
| ihcus | inar: i have intel ich8...the big problem with lenovo y 410 laptop | 01:07 |
| jrib | !firewall | WIDESPREADpanic | 01:07 |
| ubottu | WIDESPREADpanic: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:07 |
| rickyfingers | WIDESPREADpanic: firestarter | 01:07 |
| dextrous_ | Hey, not long ago install Ubuntu and I'm having problems with sound, works on start up (drum roll after log on) but no where else any ideas? | 01:07 |
| lnar | ihcus see edit preferences and check there if headphones are enable | 01:07 |
| ntolo | If you dont get smooth text in ubutnu would that be anything to do with the resolution ? | 01:07 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | thanks ricky | 01:07 |
| rickyfingers | WIDESPREADpanic: or read up on iptables commands | 01:08 |
| ihcus | inar: there is no headphones option in the menu | 01:08 |
| danbhfive | ntolo: are you using an lcd? | 01:08 |
| lnar | ihcus... edit preferences | 01:08 |
| garrett__ | ntolo: have you tried looking around for "antialiased fonts in ubuntu" on google or something? | 01:08 |
| ntolo | Yes am using an Asus LCD | 01:08 |
| danbhfive | ntolo: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:08 |
| danbhfive | ntolo: FYI, that package breaks java | 01:09 |
| ihcus | inar: yes there is no headphones | 01:09 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: to remove compiz it wants to uninstall ubuntu-desktop... would reseting to a basic xorg.conf help? | 01:09 |
| lnar | ihcus what sound card u have? | 01:09 |
| Acorn | arpreply: yeah, i can't change the resolution, the only option is auto | 01:09 |
| arpreply | Acorn: Acorn: type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and follow the menus.. save the X file and reboot. then try nvidia-settings again.. it will tell you to type a command to set up the driver again. | 01:09 |

| ntolo | I need java.The thing is my eclipse looks pale white i cant program anymore. | 01:10 |
| imjesus_1 | i got compiz .6.2 how do i install it | 01:11 |
| jrib | !java > ntolo (read the private message from ubottu) | 01:11 |
| Acorn | arpreply: should i tell it to use kernel frambuffer? | 01:11 |
| lnar | ihcus google then im sorry | 01:11 |
| danbhfive | !who > ntolo if you want to talk to me, you need to mention my name. Otherwise, I miss your msgs | 01:11 |
| kirby22 | hello, ubuntu plays joined tracks in audio cds with cuts between them, any help? regards | 01:12 |
| ihcus | inar: one more thing...can u tell me how to use virtual box | 01:12 |
| ntolo | danbhfive : thanks | 01:12 |
| netpro25 | Anyone know of a cli where I can monitor http traffic specifically URLs requested? | 01:12 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: yeah, resetting to the default desktop would probably solve your problems | 01:13 |
| Choreboy | Anyone know where I can find a blackberry channel? | 01:13 |
| rickyfingers | netpro25: you can start with tcpdump | 01:13 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: does typing "startx" bring up a gray background? | 01:13 |
| netpro25 | rickyfingers: thanks | 01:13 |
| ntolo | danbhfive : So how come the fonts in my laptop are so smooth while i did not have to tweak it even a bit ? | 01:13 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: if so, then X is fine | 01:13 |
| rickyfingers | netpro25: tcpdump | grep will enable youj to pull specific information out of packets. | 01:14 |
| danbhfive | ntolo: so the problem is fixed? | 01:14 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: dpkg-reconfigure xsession-xorg isn't fixing it, it starts to login, i get the login sound but its freezing at a black screen with "x" cursor | 01:14 |
| lnar | <ihcus> sure... do u have it installed??? once u done that when u run it there is a wizard that tells u all u have to do... and if for some reason u can not run the virtual machine u have to change some permision i dont remember exactly have to create a group called virtuabox and add ur user or something like that, i found how in google | 01:14 |
| netpro25 | rickyfingers: thanks | 01:14 |
| dextrous_ | Hey, not long ago install Ubuntu and I'm having problems with sound, works on start up (drum roll after log on) but no where else any ideas? | 01:14 |
| Yarcanox | I installed the "mingw32 cross compiler"-package but can't find the cross compiler executable - how is it named? | 01:14 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: if i start x with sudo command it works fine, i think its just my user thats messed up | 01:14 |
| ntolo | danbhfive : I dont wanna break java.Anyway i will try it and see what happens. | 01:14 |
| kumarphilly | could i convert an RPM of vm server to deb and install vm server that way? | 01:15 |
| ihcus | inar: i have used the wizard ....but i am unable to install the windows xp sp2 | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kumarphilly NOt the best way to get that done | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rpm | 01:15 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 01:15 |
| Starnestommy | kumarphilly: you could, but it would be very unlikely that the .rpm would be would be converted properly | 01:15 |
| lnar | ihcus sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a name of user | 01:15 |
| danbhfive | ntolo: well, if the command I gave you solved the problem, then here is the reason. That package install several things, including some proprietary MS fonts. (it also installs a broken java package) | 01:16 |
| kumarphilly | why is it dangerous and unlikiley Jack_Sparrow and Starnestommy | 01:16 |
| lnar | ihcus sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a name of user | 01:16 |
| Acorn | arpreply: okay, it asked me load of questions about my keyboard, and now it's finished | 01:16 |
| Starnestommy | kumarphilly: because .rpms contain different metadata than .debs and use different scripts | 01:16 |
| lnar | ihcus enable cd boot from the properties of vbox and install the system... | 01:16 |
| paperless | can anyone help me with a shell doubt | 01:16 |
| paperless | im going crazy | 01:16 |
| ihcus | inar:just a sec | 01:16 |
| paperless | this was suppsoed to work | 01:17 |
| jrib | paperless: best to just ask (on one line) | 01:17 |
| Yarcanox | does anyone know how the executable of the "mingw32" cross compiler is named/how I can find out? I can't find it and therefore not use the cross compiler :( | 01:17 |
| paperless | yeah | 01:17 |
| paperless | sorry | 01:17 |
| kumarphilly | grr | 01:17 |
| Yarcanox | I remember it being gcc-mingw32-x86, but that doesn't seem to exist | 01:17 |
| kumarphilly | but i want vm server! | 01:17 |
| paperless | where can i drop some code | 01:17 |
| rickyfingers | paperless: can you be more precise about the problem? | 01:17 |
| Starnestommy | kumarphilly: because of that, it will be very likely that it won't corrrectly install or uninstall | 01:17 |
| kumarphilly | and i dont get how i should install it | 01:17 |
| lnar | ihcus i have to go man sorry.... | 01:17 |
| jrib | Yarcanox: dpkg -L PACKAGE | grep bin may get you closer | 01:17 |

| Acorn | couldn't i just download the linux driver for my graphics card from the nvidia website? | 01:40 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: they both have their strong suits. package management is good but can totally screw you over sometimes | 01:40 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: but sometimes it's nice to be able to apt-get | 01:40 |
| Ahadiel | Acorn, I'm pretty sure it's in the repos. (Try Restricted Driver manager?) | 01:40 |
| Byron1 | Acorn I thought you said you were using restricted driver? | 01:41 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: it's harder to fix things like ubuntu when they break, because all these different components are glued together | 01:41 |
| seracht | with emerald...how do you exactly "apply" a theme | 01:41 |

| hansen | Can you guys recommend a simple firewall for ubuntu without a GUI? For my desktop box firestarter is just fine, but I have a couple of servers too where i'd like a firewall that doesn't require a GUI setup app. Just something simple where I can list the services I want to have access to in a text-file -- similar to the suse firewall script | 01:43 |
| coil | whatever i do it still fails | 01:43 |
| atomiku | hansen: iptables | 01:44 |
| secleinteer | coil: is it the first hdd? | 01:44 |
| coil | my linux is on the second hd, windows is on the first | 01:44 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: hehe. i liked gentoo quite a bit. | 01:44 |
| bud32 | hansen: scripts on iptables rules and chains | 01:44 |
| coil | can i just to a grub-install on hd0? | 01:44 |
| secleinteer | yes | 01:44 |
| secleinteer | did you do that? | 01:44 |
| coil | not yet | 01:44 |
| secleinteer | you will also want to manually check grub.conf | 01:44 |

| secleinteer | coil: post the grub.conf on pastebin | 01:44 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: but for the most part, any time you have a package system, dependencies will trip you up at some point | 01:44 |
| zero88 | coil just change your bootup options | 01:44 |
| hansen | iptables is the tool of course, but there must be something pre-cooked available so I dont need to write my own rules | 01:44 |

| bbyever | !language | coil: | 01:44 |
| secleinteer | it will just keep you from booting it until you fix the bootloader | 01:45 |
| ubottu | coil:: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:45 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: like, for instance, if your depency table gets corrupt (which happened on one of my redhat enterprise servers awhile ago) | 01:45 |

| marcus | my windows network connection doesn't work after installing ubuntu | 01:46 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: so how do you keep track of installed apps when you compile to install? | 01:46 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: or if you need to compile something yourself with some specific packages, you have to make a package for it, or you're going to screw up the dependency tree | 01:46 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: it's not as hard as you'd think. | 01:46 |
| GottaBeAndrew | hey all | 01:46 |
| marcus | my windows network connection doesn't work after installing ubuntu | 01:46 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: if it works, you have all the dependencies. if it doesn't, you look at the compiler error messages and track down the right package | 01:46 |
| powertool08 | and where do you extract the files to? should everything be extracted to the home drive with symlinks to /bin? | 01:46 |
| Invisionfree | I plugged in my printer, and it recognizes it as an HP Deskjet F4100 series, but when I try and print a test page, it says it may not be connected, and doesn't print .. Why?? Anyone alive or am I gagged or dead or something???????????????????? | 01:46 |
| smmagic | hi, if I have two OSes on two separate HDs, then make a 80gb partition on one. Will GRUB allow me to choose both OSes? | 01:47 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: as for keeping track of it--well, less it's something sort of out there.. like some weird specific lib, most things depend on the same set of packages | 01:47 |
| Acorn | yeah, i can't set my resolution above 640x480 | 01:47 |
| marcus | answering to smmagic: yes grub will let you choose the OS | 01:47 |
| Nostahl | so.... why does ubuntu auto load up some restricted athero's drivers for my wifi and they dont work? | 01:47 |
| Ahadiel | Acorn, Run sudo nvidia-xconfig | 01:47 |
| Byron1 | invision did you get hp's printer installer? | 01:47 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: there's lots and lots of software out there, but you don't need most of it to get a system up and running--especially if you're running servers. | 01:48 |
| smmagic | marcus, But over two HDs? | 01:48 |
| marcus | yes, I think so | 01:48 |

| smmagic | bud32, Hm, let me explain again. On boot, I press f12 and from there got to HD options, from there I select my 500 or 160gb drive. I want to know if grub will let me use both to boot from | 01:50 |
| Invisionfree | Jack_Sparrow: bbyever is abusing ubottu, and can you help with my printer? : | 01:50 |
| Nostahl | why do the restricted drivers for athero's not work | 01:50 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: so there's not any auto update? | 01:50 |
| smmagic | Or, if I boot to the 500gb whcih I'm installing ubuntu onto. will it come up with grub? | 01:50 |
| Acorn | !paste | 01:50 |

| bud32 | smmagic: GRUB should be set in the first drive's MBR, from there, the /boot/grub/menu.lst file specify other drives | 01:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbyever please /msg ubottu to avoid spamming the channel | 01:51 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: and to update do you remove the old version first and then install new, or just leave the old? | 01:51 |
| smmagic | bud32, So I must do it manually? | 01:51 |
| marcus | If it works on a partition, it will work with two HD's | 01:51 |

| Acorn | Ahadiel: like that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14232/ | 01:51 |
| bud32 | smmagic: do you have grub set in the MBR? | 01:51 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: just install over the old ones, usually | 01:51 |
| imjesus_1 | anything i can download to get better visual effects | 01:51 |

| marcus | my windows network connection doesn't work after installing ubuntu | 01:52 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: so you just periodically go through all installed packages, search google for new ones, update if necessary? | 01:52 |
| smmagic | but so, bud32 if I chooose the 500gb drive on boot it shall load GRUB? | 01:52 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: libs are usually something like somelib.so which is a symlink to foo.0.2.3.4.32.so, and 'make install' relinks the symlink to the new version | 01:52 |

| garrett__ | powertool08: outfacing services like ssh/apache you'll know about quick fast.. but as for the rest, usually just install a new version whenever | 01:53 |

| Byron1 | Hacker are you familiar with windows network setup? | 02:03 |
| Ahadiel | sacamano, try apt-cache search cpufreq (I don't actually use Ubuntu so it might be a different package name) | 02:03 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: wow, i figured you to be much older | 02:03 |
| hacker_at_12 | yes | 02:03 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | Painless: isnt there a easier way to creat a key for tls? | 02:03 |
| woli | byron1, are you a developer? | 02:03 |
| chronos_ | Jack, would that work for the mix between ppc and x86? | 02:03 |
| android6011 | Stroanoff ok thanks ill try that | 02:03 |
| Byron1 | woli yes | 02:04 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: nah. i first installed linux in 1997 in my freshman year of highschool. just had an early start. | 02:04 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i even date people and have a social life and the like :O | 02:04 |
| Byron1 | hacker does the card show up? | 02:04 |
| sacamano | Ahadiel, got it. ty | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chronos_ you would use whatever works on ppc since we dont support it in here | 02:04 |
| woli | byron1, are you interested in developing a synching-with-sansa software? | 02:04 |
| hacker_at_12 | yes | 02:04 |
| android6011 | does the alternate cd give the option of having no window manager? | 02:04 |
| Byron1 | woli I really don't have the time sorry | 02:04 |
| Acorn | help, i changed my graphics card model, and logged out, and then it couldn't detect my graphics card, and now i can't find the settings anymore | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | android6011 as in server install | 02:05 |
| woli | awww... | 02:05 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i'm also three beers in before going out tonight, so excuse my typing :O | 02:05 |
| Painless | WIDESPREADpanic: hmm... there's another tutorial here? --> http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/pfixtls/doc/myownca.html | 02:05 |
| android6011 | Jack_Sparrow I suppose, id just like a scaled down system to start and add thigns as needed | 02:05 |
| woli | is that i hate switching into windows everytime i want to synch songs to sansa | 02:05 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: i'm a couple years younger than you, i first installed back in fall of 06 | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 02:05 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:05 |
| woli | and sometimes i drag em and they ain't in the sansa when i unplug it | 02:05 |
| woli | only synch works | 02:05 |
| el1te | msg el11te | 02:05 |
| Byron1 | woli what do you mean? | 02:06 |
| android6011 | thanks! i wasnt aware there was a minimal cd for ubuntu | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:06 |
| Acorn | Ahadiel: where were the settings again? i messed it up and can't find it anymore | 02:06 |
| Invisionfree | Stroganoff: sudo hp-setup isn't doing anything? | 02:06 |
| ubuntuisloved | i seem to have broke perl http://hashbin.com/3yd | 02:06 |
| Byron1 | Acorn under /etc/X11 | 02:06 |
| woli | that only the 'plays for sure' mode really works, because otherwise you might add songs without being able to hear them when the deviced is 'refreshed' | 02:06 |
| Stroganoff | Invisionfree: sudo apt-get install hplip-gui | 02:06 |
| Stroganoff | then try again | 02:06 |
| hacker_at_12 | hello? | 02:06 |
| Ahadiel | Acorn, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:06 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: i feel like the learning curve is alot shallower than it used to be, which i guess is good for the growth of linux in general... but i feel that it loses things along the way | 02:06 |
| Invisionfree | Stroganoff: I did, see PM. | 02:07 |
| hacker_at_12 | #helpme | 02:07 |
| woli | i wonder if the wmp synch just copies songs to the sansa drive, or if it does something different.... | 02:07 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: word. steep learning curve when stuff breaks, but good knowledge to have, as most operating systems behave in the same way once you strip away all the upper-level doodads and whizbags | 02:07 |
| Billenium | After i booted the Live CD it came to a log-in screen. What is the username and password for the login screen? | 02:07 |
| Acorn | Ahadiel: no, what you said earlier, about screen and settings or something, it was in user | 02:07 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: agreed. but you can peel away that abstraction any time you like | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !helpme | hacker_at_12 | 02:07 |
| ubottu | hacker_at_12: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 02:07 |
| Ahadiel | Acorn, I didn't say that, Byron1 did. | 02:07 |
| ubuntuisloved | Billenium, are you using xbuntu ? | 02:07 |
| Acorn | oh, byron then :) | 02:07 |
| Billenium | no | 02:08 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| Billenium | Ubuntu LiveCD | 02:08 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: and of course i've noticed the changes even in help chats such as this, with a shallow learning curve comes less patient, more demanding users | 02:08 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: that's absolute truth right there. | 02:08 |
| Byron1 | Acorn there is a program located in /usr/share/applications called screen and graphics | 02:08 |
| bud32 | anyone knows why I can't get the boot splash with a custom kernel?? | 02:08 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: try reading a programming forum. "I NEED CODEZ FOR JAVA PROGRAM TO DO MYSPACEZ!" | 02:09 |
| Billenium | ugh this is no help... | 02:09 |
| mongolai | quit | 02:09 |
| mongolai | ^quit | 02:09 |
| Acorn | thankyou Byron1 | 02:09 |
| mongolai | quit | 02:09 |
| mongolai | sorry | 02:09 |
| Ahadiel | mongolai, /quit | 02:09 |
| Byron1 | hacker did you say that your wireless was visible in windows network settings | 02:10 |
| hacker_at_12 | whoever is interested in helping me with my windows-ubuntu network problem, just go to #qafor | 02:10 |
| woli | whats the effect name for the sliding frames in compiz-fusion | 02:10 |
| woli | ?? | 02:10 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: haha, i thought they were always after homework help | 02:10 |
| Acorn | how do you disable a hardware driver? | 02:10 |
| Br0k3 | hello everyone | 02:10 |
| scunizi | !hello | 02:10 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:10 |
| Ahadiel | Acorn, I'd say replace "nvidia" with "mesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:10 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: but for the most part, those who're willing to learn will learn, and those who won't, won't. hopefully the software gets easier to use but fosters some understanding of what's going on under the hood | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !blacklist | 02:10 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 02:10 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: haha, true. | 02:10 |
| yojesus_1 | how do i remove programs | 02:10 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i've used #c and #math for homework help, before :P | 02:10 |
| axisys_ | my wireless started working.. | 02:11 |
| axisys_ | i had to press the wireless button on my laptop | 02:11 |
| axisys_ | would be nice if the led turns with | 02:11 |
| axisys_ | so I would know that wifi is on | 02:11 |
| FloodBot3 | axisys_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:11 |
| Acorn | Ahadiel: i need to work out how to undo everything i've done | 02:11 |
| android6011 | is there a place i can see what window managers are available in ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yojesus_1 depends on how they were installed | 02:11 |
| bud32 | yojesus_1: chmod 644 /program | 02:11 |
| bbyever | yojesus_1: Applications > Add/Remove | 02:11 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, use synaptic.. what do you want to get rid of? | 02:11 |
| dowlings | Hey guys I'm having some dependecy problems when I try to compile simdock, can anyone help? | 02:11 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: though #math wound up being a 3hour conversation about finite automata | 02:11 |
| Ahadiel | Acorn, Well, as far as I know nvidia-xsettings *should* give you a working config. | 02:11 |
| yojesus_1 | well i want to get rid of firefox ver3 and get ver2 | 02:11 |
| bud32 | oh | 02:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | android6011 I may have a webiste with the most popular ones listed | 02:11 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, did you do an upgrade and are now having problems? | 02:12 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: anyhow, i think the axiom is that some people expect and demand immediate solutions, and some people are willing to suss out why it's broken and then figure out how to fix it | 02:12 |
| yojesus_1 | im having problems | 02:12 |
| android6011 | Jack_Sparrow if you do that would be great | 02:12 |
| Acorn | is it possible to reset the installation? | 02:12 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: and thankfully that's not something limited only to computers. | 02:12 |
| yojesus_1 | im like very new to ubuntu | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | android6011 http://xwinman.org/ | 02:12 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, did you upgrade from Gutsy? | 02:12 |
| Acorn | and go back to how it was before? | 02:12 |
| android6011 | thanks again! | 02:12 |
| ubuntuisloved | Is there a place to download the Debian Ubuntu 8 Package PERL for install since i broke it ? | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | android6011 let me know if that is what you were looking for | 02:12 |
| yojesus_1 | nahh i just got ubunt yestarday | 02:12 |
| yojesus_1 | second day using it | 02:12 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, what kind of issues are you having? | 02:12 |
| android6011 | Jack_Sparrow ya thats perfect thanks | 02:13 |
| yojesus_1 | i cant hear nothing on firefox | 02:13 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: and from the amount of help i've recieved from people over the years, i do my best to help out the later whenever possible | 02:13 |
| hacker_at_12 | a little help here please | 02:13 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, when playing a flash video or something? | 02:13 |
| Qrawl | hello. When I use sftp in Nautilus, it asks me for my password every time I open any file. how can I fix this | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | android6011 great | 02:13 |
| yojesus_1 | like youtube video music anything | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !helpme | hacker_at_12 | 02:13 |
| ubottu | hacker_at_12: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 02:13 |
| yojesus_1 | it worked fine yestarday | 02:13 |
| Byron1 | Acorn If you get frustrated in trying to get it to work in 8.04 You might want to install 7.10 | 02:13 |
| garrett__ | hacker_at_12: i can't think of a reason why ubuntu would touch your ntfs partition during install, so i can't provide anything useful aside from telling you to turn it off and on and reinstall the drivers. | 02:14 |
| GottaBeAndrew | to get my webcam working, after every log off/ shutdown / restart etc. i have to go onto the terminal and type "sudo modprobe vloopback pipes=1", then my admin password, then "flashcam -qD". is there a way of making it do this automatically when ubuntu starts up instead of me having to do it? | 02:14 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, that might not be FF but a problem with pulse audio.. my FF plays just fine.. do sounds work in other places? | 02:14 |
| NeilDude | Painless, this is way over my head. that link you sent me does not apply to me and the documentation i'm reading on how to fix the error 17 is cryptic and confusing | 02:14 |
| tux0 | hey fellas | 02:14 |
| yojesus_1 | yrah | 02:14 |
| tux0 | anyone care to tell me where to get some sysmonitor screenlet themes? | 02:14 |
| yojesus_1 | yeah it doesnt work in fire fox only | 02:14 |
| ledmushroom | Ok my issue is one that could make my wife make me (cause i would not if i had a choice) put xp bake on her system if she doesnt have it the simplest way possible and right not I am suck. She has a wireless connection and I am broadcasting and have wpa personal enabled and after she boots it takes a little bit to I guess see the network and then asks her for the password. I am looking to make this network default so she doesnt have to do all that it just | 02:15 |
| ledmushroom | connects. Thats it | 02:15 |
| Byron1 | hacker I went to #qafor what happen? | 02:15 |
| NeilDude | does anyone know how i can fix grub boot loader error 17? | 02:15 |
| tux0 | anyone care to tell me where to get some sysmonitor screenlet themes? | 02:15 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, have you tried to change any of the audio options by double clicking the volumn control icon? | 02:15 |
| tux0 | anyone care to tell me where to get some sysmonitor screenlet themes? | 02:15 |
| hacker_at_12 | the strange thing is that when i just go straight from the modem and not through a router, it works perfectly. | 02:15 |
| scunizi | tux0, gkrelm in synaptic | 02:15 |
| GottaBeAndrew | to get my webcam working, after every log off/ shutdown / restart etc. i have to go onto the terminal and type "sudo modprobe vloopback pipes=1", then my admin password, then "flashcam -qD". is there a way of making it do this automatically when ubuntu starts up instead of me having to do it? | 02:15 |
| garrett__ | ledmushroom: so you want the network config to automatically provide the WPA/WEP key? | 02:15 |
| yojesus_1 | idk im listing to music on rythmbox but cant listent to anything on firefox | 02:15 |
| ledmushroom | yes | 02:16 |
| yojesus_1 | i checked on the volume control | 02:16 |
| yojesus_1 | evrything seems fine | 02:16 |
| GottaBeAndrew | how | 02:16 |
| hacker_at_12 | sorry, bad link forget about it | 02:16 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: did you try the fixgrub doc? | 02:16 |
| ledmushroom | and the name of the network too if i turn off bradcasting | 02:16 |
| GottaBeAndrew | to get my webcam working, after every log off/ shutdown / restart etc. i have to go onto the terminal and type "sudo modprobe vloopback pipes=1", then my admin password, then "flashcam -qD". how do i make it do this automatically when ubuntu starts up instead of me having to do it? | 02:16 |
| NeilDude | danbhfivei, i don't think so. | 02:16 |
| scunizi | can anyone help yojesus_1 activate audio in FF.. fresh install.. new user.. I'm stumped on this one. | 02:16 |
| bbyever | GottaBeAndrew: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-2.html | 02:16 |
| GottaBeAndrew | thankyou | 02:17 |
| axisys_ | my wireless on my hp nc 6200 with intel pro 2200BG is now working.. | 02:17 |
| danbhfive | !fixgrub > NeilDude and tab completion makes spelling names easier | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !startup | GottaBeAndrew | 02:17 |
| ubottu | GottaBeAndrew: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 02:17 |
| bbyever | GottaBeAndrew: make a script with those commands and add it to the things ran at startup | 02:17 |
| axisys_ | i had to press the wifi button which had no use in earlier versions of ubuntu | 02:17 |
| scunizi | audio works for yojesus_1 everywhere except in FF | 02:17 |
| axisys_ | is there a way to turn the led on of the wifi button | 02:17 |
| amenado | GottaBeAndrew-> you can cheat and insert your script in the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d | 02:17 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, are you running 64 bit or 32? | 02:18 |
| GottaBeAndrew | ok, thanks bbyever and amenado | 02:18 |
| yojesus_1 | how do i check | 02:18 |
| GottaBeAndrew | will i have to enter my password as a part of the script? | 02:18 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, when you downloaded the install iso did you choose 64 or x86 | 02:18 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, that doesn't really help | 02:18 |
| el1te | Jack_Sparrow i tried the alsa script and gives an erroor | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el11te See gnubien in Alsa | 02:18 |
| amenado | GottaBeAndrew-> scripts in the if-up.d are usually root owned | 02:18 |
| el1te | ok | 02:18 |
| GottaBeAndrew | so i won't need a password then? | 02:19 |
| GottaBeAndrew | ok | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el1te Did it wor for you before? | 02:19 |
| yojesus_1 | idk i order ubunt online and got it yestarday on mail i think 64 | 02:19 |
| GottaBeAndrew | thanks, bye!!! | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | work | 02:19 |
| Painless | GottaBeAndrew: you could add your commands to the end of /etc/rc.local also | 02:19 |
| GottaBeAndrew | ok | 02:19 |
| GottaBeAndrew | i'll note that down | 02:19 |
| FloodBot3 | GottaBeAndrew: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:19 |
| garrett__ | ledmushroom: hm. i use my neighbors wireless network, and it just uses MAC address protection, but my guess is that google will yeild an answer | 02:19 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: well, it either works, or it doesnt | 02:19 |
| Painless | that would be a more relevant place for them | 02:19 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: do you know where the gnome startup scripts are stored? | 02:19 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, I don't have access to an OS. | 02:19 |
| el1te | Jack_Sparrow in windows it did | 02:19 |
| fireun | anyone feel like telling me why the new 8.10 mounts my disk as /dev/sda not hda? | 02:19 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: you would have to boot with the livecd | 02:19 |
| fireun | stuck in 16bit access and no dma | 02:19 |
| bigred2k579 | since ubunut wontt work on my laptop what is the distro most like ubuntu? | 02:19 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, I need to repair this somehow from the terminal that comes on the alternate desktop amd64 installation cd. | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el1te If you have been working on this for days in here and alsa you should have already run that script.. and it wont work from windows | 02:20 |
| Qrawl | Question: When I use sftp in Nautilus, it asks me for my password every time I open any file. how can I fix this | 02:20 |
| amenado | Painless-> i agree with you, thats why i said to cheat...have it in if-pre-up.d | 02:20 |
| coil | penis | 02:20 |
| garrett__ | ledmushroom: this looks like it might be relevant to you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 02:20 |
| el1te | check your logs if you are calling me a liar | 02:20 |
| MariusAZ | Can anyone tell me what the definitive best CD ripper is for Linux? | 02:20 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, I don't have the livecd. | 02:20 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: ok, so did you try the instructions? Im getting confused... | 02:20 |
| scunizi | yojesus_1, go to Applications/accessories/terminal and type uname -a that should tell you | 02:20 |
| fireun | MariusAZ: cdparanoia | 02:20 |
| cypha | do you guys usually install all the software updates? | 02:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cypha yes | 02:20 |
| MariusAZ | fireun: is there a GUI front end? | 02:20 |
| cypha | the ones that automatically show up at your system tray | 02:20 |
| cypha | k | 02:20 |
| iSplicer | Hey guys! | 02:20 |
| fireun | MariusAZ: likely | 02:21 |
| MariusAZ | fireun: I'm looking for something that'll also do tagging, multiple burners, etc | 02:21 |
| iSplicer | I am thinking of switching to ubuntu for my HTPC | 02:21 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: hold on, i'll take a look | 02:21 |
| iSplicer | will SPDIF optical OUT work with ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| Painless | cypha: definately, unless it's a debian made patch for openssl (joke) | 02:21 |
| bigred2k579 | since ubuntu wont work on my laptop what is the distro most like ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u | ||
| fireun | MariusAZ: try #vorbis | 02:21 |
| MariusAZ | Thanks | 02:21 |
| cypha | lol, k | 02:21 |
| cypha | thanks | 02:21 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, I simply cannot try those instructions. step 2 says open a terminal by going to blah blah menu. I cannot boot into Linux from the live cd because I do not have the live cd. I only have the shell from the rescue mode on my alternate CD. | 02:21 |
| bigred2k579 | I was thinking centos but I wanted to get someone elses opinion | 02:22 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: terminal == shell | 02:22 |
| iSplicer | terminal is the shell | 02:22 |
| fireun | My question is why does my hd show up as /dev/sda when its an IDE drive and normally (previous ubuntu installs) it shows up at /dev/hda, which is normal, and allows me to use hdparm | 02:22 |
| iSplicer | fancy name | 02:22 |
| Painless | bigred2k579: what happens when you try and use ubuntu on your laptop? | 02:22 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, okay | 02:22 |
| cypha | follow up question, i have "gnome-do -quiet" added to my sessions to autostart | 02:22 |
| cypha | but gnome-do shows up when i start ubuntu | 02:22 |
| cypha | how can i not have it show up at all? | 02:22 |
| iSplicer | someone please help, I am trying to switch to ubuntu for my HTPC - will SPDIF optical OUT work with ubuntu? | 02:23 |
| cypha | at the start | 02:23 |
| danbhfive | !uuid > fireun here is a tidbit of info, but I dont really know | 02:23 |
| bigred2k579 | ehhh long story....I can install from a cd but only by disabling a bunch of stuff and then after the install is done it wont boot from the hdd | 02:23 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, after following step 3, i get "/bin/sh: sudo: not found" | 02:23 |
| Stroganoff | NeilDude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-ec3e41291c7a5a7b61d7827299415204067765de | 02:23 |
| bigred2k579 | just says starting up with a blinkiung cursor | 02:23 |
| NeilDude | danbhfive, these instructions assume I am booted into an OPERATING SYSTEM. I am at a BLUE SCREEN that is definitely NOT an operating system. am i getting through to you? | 02:23 |
| Painless | bigred2k579: ouch | 02:23 |
| yojesus_1 | i cant hear sound on firefox any one thinks they know y | 02:24 |
| fireun | danbhfive: thanks, I think its one of the causes for my laptop locking up if left unattended for long enough, I come back, type my pwd in and it just freezes, cant get a virtual term or ctrl-alt anything | 02:24 |
| cypha | anyone use gnome-do and have it autostart? | 02:24 |
| bigred2k579 | yo maybe you muted firefox | 02:24 |
| moDumass | hey all, any issues with Emerald theme veiwer? | 02:24 |
| moDumass | i cant change themes | 02:24 |
| yojesus_1 | how | 02:24 |
| yojesus_1 | and where | 02:24 |
| moDumass | or if i do change them they dont actually change until i reboot | 02:24 |
| amenado | fireun-> if you look into udev rules, thats how the newer naming convention is done.. | 02:24 |
| bigred2k579 | I think its ctrl+m or something | 02:24 |
| darkcrab | you have to add it to your startup modumass | 02:24 |
| bigred2k579 | Icould be wrong | 02:24 |
| yojesus_1 | how do i unmute it | 02:24 |
| moDumass | darkcrab, it strarts | 02:24 |
| fireun | amenado: yeah, I've seen the uuids in fstab | 02:24 |
| darkcrab | oh | 02:25 |
| darkcrab | like it runs when you reboot | 02:25 |
| moDumass | darkcrab, it just doesnt change to the theme i select when i select that theme | 02:25 |
| fireun | amenado: but I couldnt even boot the new ubuntu install without changing root=/dev/sdaX instead of hda | 02:25 |
| amenado | fireun-> that too, i dislike it but..its a trend in most distros | 02:25 |
| iSplicer | someone please help, I am trying to switch to ubuntu for my HTPC - will SPDIF optical OUT work with ubuntu, if so, how might I get it to work? | 02:25 |
| moDumass | darkcrab, it will only change tot the selected theme on reboot | 02:25 |

| garrett__ | powertool08: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GNOME.html | 02:26 |
| ethana2 | scunizi: but it won't let me | 02:26 |
| Billenium | Does anyone know the username and password for Ubuntu Live CD? | 02:26 |
| ethana2 | scunizi: it won't let me do that unless all menus are closed | 02:26 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: err.. that might be out of date | 02:27 |
| amenado | Billenium-> blank blank | 02:27 |
| ethana2 | scunizi: does it do it like windows when I have menus open? | 02:27 |
| yojesus_1 | UMM ANYONE KNOWS Y I CANT HEAR SOUND IN FIREFOX | 02:27 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: thanks, i think i've almost got this sorted out now, i can login if i don't run the startup scripts | 02:27 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: I understand that you are upset, but please understand that I don't know what your troubles are, until you tell me. Even then, I may not know how to help. I'm just some guy. That said, does the 'grub' command work? | 02:27 |
| Billenium | as in enter enter or type in blank? | 02:27 |
| roxandLAPTOP | ... | 02:27 |
| Acorn | I solved it!! | 02:27 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: so you just need to figure out what's breaking gnome | 02:27 |
| cypha | ethana2, yeah i can't even change my volume when a menu is open | 02:27 |
| fireun | Acorn: yippie! | 02:27 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: rigt on to you :) | 02:27 |
| scunizi | ethana2, just tried it and it doesn't work for me either.. | 02:27 |
| amenado | Billenium-> noooh..i was just teasing you, there are no password | 02:27 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: since you are in rescue mode, you are already root, and you dont need sudo | 02:27 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i wish i could be more help, but i've spent the past 8years avoiding gnome because it's bloated :P | 02:27 |
| ethana2 | scunizi: I have a bug I need to confirm | 02:27 |
| ethana2 | growl | 02:28 |
| Billenium | amenado-> What? It is asking me for a username and password... | 02:28 |
| cypha | ethana2, if you find a way to make the menu not take priority over keyboard presses or whatever, let me know please | 02:28 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: and it's hell if you don't have a gui | 02:28 |
| Templarian | so cool thing i can connect to svn bad thing it won't accept passwords? | 02:28 |
| Acorn | the problem wasn't the graphics card, that was all fine, the problem was that I didn't have my monitor selected | 02:28 |
| amenado | Billenium-> on a liveCD ? | 02:28 |
| ethana2 | cypha: I need the pic /of/ the menu here | 02:28 |
| ethana2 | nothing else | 02:28 |
| bigred2k579 | anyone? what is another distro that is similar to ubuntu's ease of install and use | 02:28 |
| ethana2 | lol | 02:28 |
| Billenium | yes | 02:28 |
| Invisionfree | Jack_Sparrow: Printer help please? | 02:28 |
| ethana2 | this is horrible | 02:28 |
| Billenium | on a LiveCD | 02:28 |
| FloodBot3 | ethana2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:28 |
| yojesus_1 | anyone thinks they know y i cant hear sound on firefox but i am able to listent to music on rythim box ?? | 02:28 |
| scunizi | ethana2, not neccessarily a but but you could report it as one in launchpad and it might get some attention | 02:28 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: almost every WM i've ever used has just used the ~/.xsession file to run things at statrup | 02:28 |
| fireun | bigred2k579: debian? (: | 02:28 |
| cypha | what's /of/ mean? | 02:28 |
| ethana2 | scunizi: ok | 02:28 |
| bbyever | Billenium: leave those empty | 02:28 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: so if something was broken, there were only a few places to look. gnome's a byzantian mess | 02:28 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: ha, ya i don't normally use it myself, and you've been tons of help, not to mention your insight on linux in general | 02:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Invisionfree what printer... | 02:29 |
| Billenium | I did, i hit enter then enter and it said password wrong | 02:29 |
| cypha | ethana2, btw, you can make a time delay before the print screen | 02:29 |
| bbyever | Billenium: try ubuntu or lvecd | 02:29 |
| bbyever | livecd* | 02:29 |
| cypha | but i think you have to download a print screen plugin | 02:29 |
| Acorn | how come there's no easy way to get to the screen and display settings? | 02:29 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: what do you use for a wm? | 02:29 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: it's nice to talk to people who're interested aside from just wanting to get redtube and skype working | 02:29 |
| Billenium | i am using Ubuntu LiveCD x.x | 02:29 |
| bigred2k579 | fireun: you being serious? | 02:29 |
| cypha | i definitely read that somewhere though | 02:29 |

| Invisionfree | Jack_Sparrow: HP Deskjet F4180 | 02:29 |
| Billenium | not yet | 02:29 |
| Billenium | be right back | 02:29 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: fluxbox, usually. i've been a little too lazy to install it just yet, as when i haven't been working i've been playing neverwinternights | 02:29 |
| fireun | bigred2k579: you asked for another distro - what do you want from it? | 02:29 |
| thingfish | Acorn: what are you needing to do? | 02:29 |
| ethana2 | cypha: thanks! it did what I need | 02:30 |
| Acorn | !sudo | Billenium | 02:30 |
| ubottu | Billenium: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 02:30 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i just decided to give ubuntu a shot last weekend when my windows install did the windows thing and imploded on its self like a child of divorce at an open abr | 02:30 |
| garrett__ | erp, bar | 02:30 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: whats the difference in fluxbox and blackbox? | 02:30 |
| cypha | ethana2, what did what you need? | 02:30 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: blackbox isn't maintained anymore | 02:30 |
| ethana2 | an image of a menu | 02:30 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: fluxbox is based on blackbox | 02:30 |
| ethana2 | to file a bug on firefox | 02:30 |

| === elkbuntu is now known as elky | ||
| Ahadiel | Billenium, Since when does the livecd have a login screen? | 02:31 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i don't remember what happened, exactly, but the guy(s)/girl(s) writing blackbox quit working on it, and some other developers picked it up | 02:31 |
| Ahadiel | Billenium, Try username: ubuntu password: ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| Acorn | thingfish: just need to change my monitor, and should the hardware driver thing automatically get the correct graphics card driver? is there any way to tell which model of graphics card it is installing a driver for? | 02:31 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: and thus fluxbox was born | 02:31 |
| fireun | bigred2k579: gentoo? | 02:31 |
| bbyever | Ahadiel: i have had a login screen on livecds, but if you leave the fields empty you can login | 02:31 |
| bigred2k579 | I want a OS that if it gets stolen ALL of the data on it is safe | 02:31 |
| Billenium | I dont know... I even unplugged my hard drive ( i corrupted the thing or something... so im using the LiveCD to try and salvage some important files) | 02:31 |
| Billenium | i tried ubuntu:ubuntu | 02:32 |
| Ahadiel | bbyever, I know some do, but I didn't think ubuntu did. | 02:32 |
| theFATMAN | I can no longer extract rar files, what gives? | 02:32 |
| Ahadiel | Billenium, ubuntu:blank?\ | 02:32 |
| Billenium | tried it | 02:32 |

| adama | how do you make it so that inserted media (CD-ROM, USB device etc) doesn't appear on the desktop? | 02:32 |
| thingfish | Acorn: is this on hardy? Because if so, the ability to define one's display components has been taken away by the new and improved xorg. | 02:32 |
| Billenium | First one: install and boot from liveCD | 02:32 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: it's light weight, looks good and integrates with just about anything | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Everyone.. please pardon a little flood as I clear out the ban list... This wont take but a minute | 02:33 |
| Stroganoff | theFATMAN: console: unrar | 02:33 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i've only got 512M in my laptop, so I dig it | 02:33 |
| Billenium | Ill restart and try to boot again... My CD-Drive is pretty fishy... it hates cooperating with LiveCDs | 02:33 |
| thingfish | Acorn: I'm assuming this is a nvidia card? | 02:33 |
| Acorn | thingfish: yes it is, but i'm on hardy and i just changed my display components :S | 02:33 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: i'm thinking about switching to either enlightenment or fluxbox, i liked kde since that was my first experience, but i've been slowly migrating to more cli programs and i hate kde4 | 02:33 |
| alexander_ | hello | 02:33 |
| theFATMAN | stroganoff: can u clarify? | 02:33 |
| NeilDude | Stroganoff, during the installation of ubuntu, I did not choose a /boot or swap. I simply chose 1 parition to be / and that's it. does that pose a problem? | 02:33 |
| Stroganoff | theFATMAN check if the "unrar" package is installed. if so, check terminal output if you run just "unrar" | 02:34 |
| thingfish | Acorn: you mean you bought new components and you're needing to configure them? | 02:34 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: word word. i haven't tried enlightenment since there notices saying "you really need 64M of ram to use enlightenment" | 02:34 |
| CharlesWillard | Can anyone help me get frostwire working in hardy? it keeps telling me that it has the wrong java | 02:34 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: but right now gnome's using about 60M of ram just to run all the various applets and whatnot | 02:34 |
| adama | how do you make it so that inserted media (CD-ROM, USB device etc) doesn't appear on the desktop? | 02:34 |
| Acorn | thingfish: no, i just installed ubuntu for the first time. I need to get it set up with my monitor and my graphics card. | 02:35 |
| Stroganoff | NeilDude you dont need a /boot, but a swap comes in handy. should be no problem regarding grub though | 02:35 |
| theFATMAN | stroganoff, I have unrar and xarchive installed, as well as other needed files | 02:35 |
| alexander_ | Guys. My computer doesnt give me the option to set resolution to 1920X1200, just 1600X1200... Even though my 24" can do 1920. How do i fix this? Graphic card seems to work. | 02:35 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: but i'd say give it a shot. | 02:35 |
| Stroganoff | theFATMAN terminal output on "unrar" | 02:35 |
| NeilDude | Stroganoff, ah okay | 02:35 |
| === eric is now known as erisco | ||
| powertool08 | garrett__: do you know of any cli aim clients other than naim? | 02:35 |
| intell | I just purchased an ATI Radeon x1550. Got the drivers in. How do I use composite video in/out? | 02:35 |
| thingfish | Acorn: not much you can do if it doesn't work "out of the box". dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't allow one to configure video hardware anymore. | 02:36 |
| erisco | hey, I am using 8.04 and am unable to created a shared folder | 02:36 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: a friend of mine mentioned he was going to try it out, and i remember reading about how the project was picking up steam after like 5 years or something a couple of years ago, so maybe they're making some cool stuff | 02:36 |
| Acorn | thingfish: i just tried lots of things and eventually went to the screen and display settings and changed it to my monitor model and it allowed me to change my resolution, but i had already messed things up a bit so i'm doing a clean install | 02:36 |
| thingfish | Acorn: you can write your own xorg.conf ;) | 02:36 |
| erisco | it complains I do not have permission... so I try through the terminal but cannot seem to grant write access no matter what I do | 02:36 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: nope. i haven't used a cli aim client in years | 02:36 |
| Stroganoff | alexander_ Xorg is till pretty inflexible.., try editing Xorg conf with this tool: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ | 02:36 |
| erisco | any ideas? | 02:36 |
| === CharlesWillard is now known as HelpwFrostwirePl | ||
| theFATMAN | stroganoff, just a second | 02:36 |
| grndslm | heya... i'm using hardy, & i fdisked an old hard drive i had, rebooted... and now i'm trying to mkfs.ext3 the partition... but it says it's "in use by the system" even tho i've umounted everything there is to umount!! | 02:36 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: do you not use aim anymore or use something like pidgin? | 02:36 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: you could look into writing your own, though. you could use the pidgin libs | 02:36 |
| bbyever | erisco: in a terminal su -l then try again | 02:37 |
| Acorn | thingfish: i don't think i need to , i think it was the fact that the monitor was set to plug and play that stopped me from changing my resolution | 02:37 |
| theFATMAN | stroganoff: filetype not supported | 02:37 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i use pidgin for aim | 02:37 |
| Stroganoff | theFATMAN use "unrar e archive.rar" | 02:37 |
| erisco | bbyever, it says authentication failure = | 02:37 |
| theFATMAN | stroganoff, it doesnt make sense, i was using it earlier | 02:37 |
| bbyever | erisco: with the root password? | 02:37 |
| theFATMAN | stroganoff, ok | 02:37 |
| erisco | bbyever, yes | 02:37 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: on win32, too. though this stupid bruhah with the size of the conversation box in the new pidgin build is really annoying | 02:37 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: so i might start using the pidgin fork | 02:37 |
| bbyever | erisco: sure you typed it correclty? | 02:38 |
| erisco | bbyever, absolutely | 02:38 |
| thingfish | Acorn: ok well it sounds like you had better luck than I did. Doing things the right way, I could never get more than 1024x768 using the nv driver, and only 640x480 using the nvidia driver. I had to resort to replacing the hardy xorg.conf with one from gutsy. | 02:38 |
| alexander_ | Stroganoff: weird thing is that it used to work before. but now it only give me the 1600 option. should i add 1920 manually to xorg.conf and reboot? | 02:38 |
| Acorn | is there any difference between setting your graphics card to nvidia or geforce4 (generic) or legacy? | 02:38 |
| garrett__ | aleX-xx: you don't need to reboot to do that. just ctrl+alt+bksp your X window | 02:38 |
| el1te | if a package is included with this distro it is this channel policy to support it isnt it | 02:38 |
| Stroganoff | alexander_ yes add the modeline manually. dont reboot though, just press ctrl+alt+backspace when ready. | 02:38 |
| el1te | i mean i can ask rightfully right? | 02:38 |
| erisco | bbyever, the password works for all other root operations | 02:38 |
| erisco | bbyever, no idea what is going wrong ehre | 02:39 |
| bbyever | erisco: try sudo instead, at the beginning of your command | 02:39 |
| garrett__ | elite: i don't know about policy, but the convention is to help where you can | 02:39 |
| erisco | bbyever, haha, sudo su -l | 02:39 |
| cohonen | do i need an extra mirror to get qt-4.4 ? | 02:39 |
| erisco | bbyever, of course | 02:39 |
| alexander_ | Stroganoff: could you help me edit the xorg.conf file? | 02:39 |
| erisco | bbyever, but this does not help me... | 02:39 |
| el1te | garrett__ 1st thing ppl ask is what distro you using | 02:39 |
| erisco | bbyever, the issue is through the file browser GUI I cannot create a share | 02:39 |
| dabbill | I am tryin to get my music to only come up when my music player is running, but for some reason the if_running is not working correctly, when i open my music player its only displayin the first line after ${if_running rhythmbox} and not the rest of it | 02:39 |

| bbyever | erisco: sudo nautilus | 02:40 |
| erisco | bbyever, so I decided to use net usershare to do it myself but regardless of what I do I cannot seem to grant write persmissions | 02:40 |
| el1te | does anyone use their optical out from there comp to their home reciever | 02:40 |
| garrett__ | el1te: if you were using slackware, i wouldn't tell you to apt-get something. if you were using debian i wouldn't tell you to get an .rpm | 02:40 |
| theFATMAN | stroganoff, how do i: 'enable component called multiverse'? | 02:40 |
| Stroganoff | alexander_ add the modeline to the "Monitor" section | 02:40 |
| el1te | garrett__ "[20:39] <garrett__> elite: i don't know about policy, but the convention is to help where you can" | 02:41 |
| bbyever | erisco: sudo nautilus | 02:41 |
| erisco | bbyever, I tried sudo nautilus --browser but it doesn't recognize it as a command | 02:41 |
| thingfish | Acorn: dunno...but you most definitely want to choose the one that most closely matches your hardware. | 02:41 |
| garrett__ | el1te: that's apropos to what? | 02:41 |
| bbyever | erisco: just sudo nautilus | 02:41 |
| erisco | bbyever, even though it says it is one | 02:41 |
| alexander_ | I didnt understand much of that xorg modline-tool... sorry... but i have the specs of my monitor: it can do 1920x1200, Horizontal Frequency : 31-94kHz, Vertical Frequency : 50~85Hz. can you help me create a modline that i should add? | 02:41 |
| el1te | you try and help no matter the distro | 02:41 |
| garrett__ | el1te: i do, personally, yes. | 02:41 |
| bbyever | erisco: try it without the --browser option | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el1te No.. we support it UNDER ubuntu.. not some other distro | 02:41 |
| Acorn | thingfish: on the official nvidia website my card comes under legacy, but it is also a geforce4 card | 02:42 |
| garrett__ | el1te: but as a general principle, i think the convention is simply to help where you can. | 02:42 |
| el1te | ppl dont help no one if someone came in here and said they ran suse | 02:42 |
| el1te | they would say goto #opensuse | 02:42 |
| garrett__ | el1te: in this channel go figure, the topic is ubuntu | 02:42 |
| el1te | jesus we all know that | 02:42 |
| erisco | bbyever, okay how do I get out of root | 02:42 |
| thingfish | Acorn: yes, geforce4 is legacy | 02:42 |
| erisco | bbyever, thanks by the way, worked well | 02:42 |
| garrett__ | el1te: what was your point? | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !attitude | el1te | 02:42 |
| theFATMAN | how do i enable the 'multiverse' component? | 02:42 |
| ubottu | el1te: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 02:42 |
| el1te | this conversation got sidetracked from the real problem | 02:42 |
| bbyever | erisco: close the window or the terminal which you tiped the command from | 02:42 |
| Acorn | thingfish: when i first installed it popped up a thing saying that restricted drivers were availiable for my gfx, and i think that set my gfx to just nvidia | 02:42 |
| bbyever | erisco: np | 02:42 |
| garrett__ | el1te: i was simply saying that there's no mandate saying that we have to be completely familiar with every package in ubuntu | 02:42 |
| erisco | bbyever, I must have got the net usershare syntax wrong because my ACL arguments ended up in the share comments :P | 02:42 |
| thingfish | Acorn: that is what's supposed to happen. | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el1te what does lsb_release -a show exactly | 02:43 |
| garrett__ | el1te: if there's no one here that can/wants to offer support for something, you will recieve no support. | 02:43 |
| erisco | bbyever, ah, okay, thank-you | 02:43 |
| el1te | Jack_Sparrowi alread said i was running kubuntu 8.04 kde remix | 02:43 |
| el1te | several times | 02:43 |
| Painless | alexander_: instead of a modeline, you might want to try just inputing your vert and horiz refresh rates into the monitor section instead... that used to do that trick for me | 02:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el1te what does lsb_release -a show exactly | 02:43 |
| Acorn | thingfish: hmm, well, my installation has just finished so i'll try enabling the restricted driver, and then setting the monitor setting to the correct make and model | 02:43 |

| NeilDude | okay, I am attempting to install Ubuntu for the 2nd time today. If the grub boot loader fails to work again, then it proves once again that Linux is a pile of junk | 02:45 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: what happens? | 02:46 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: and no it doesn't | 02:46 |
| NeilDude | garrett__, error 17. | 02:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | el1te Your attitude is a big part of why you do not already have an answer | 02:46 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 already? | 02:46 |
| danbhfive | NeilDude: error 17 may mean your harddrive is dieing, FYI, so backup! | 02:46 |

| NeilDude | garrett__, I have attempted to fix it through the shell on the alternative CD and the gui way. both have failed. | 02:46 |
| garrett__ | Jack_Sparrow: someone had to say it | 02:46 |
| el1te | why ppl keep on making me jump through hoops for nothng | 02:47 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: not sure how to pm... i'm using irssi | 02:47 |

| cohonen | NeilDude: no just that ubuntus installer is | 02:47 |

| yuti | 2And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west, | 02:50 |
| el1te | if someone could have helped me by now they would have....its been a long week | 02:50 |
| alexander_ | Painless: i see. in my xorg.conf, under "monitor" it says: Identifier"Configured Monitor". and thats it. | 02:50 |

| theFATMAN | how do i enable the 'multiverse' component? | 02:51 |
| garrett__ | airstrike: i dunno, but i'd say try 'cd / ; find | grep django' | 02:51 |
| Painless | alexander_: join #monitor so I dont flood here | 02:51 |
| garrett__ | airstrike: that'll tell you about all the files with 'django' in them | 02:51 |
| Acorn | thingfish: byron1 told me earlier, it's usr/share/applications/screens and graphics | 02:51 |
| Starnestommy | theFATMAN: system > administration > software sources? | 02:51 |
| airstrike | thanks | 02:51 |
| garrett__ | airstrike: my guess is you'll be able to figure out the root django dir from there | 02:51 |
| tyler_2 | I cannot enable the desktop effects on 7.10 with an nvidia card, produces a generic error and nothing definative written to my log files? | 02:51 |

| theFATMAN | Starnestommy, i'm gonna check it out, wasnt sure, lol, thanx, and brb | 02:52 |
| garrett__ | airstrike: nice! | 02:52 |
| airstrike | what's that ; for? | 02:52 |
| Starnestommy | airstrike: it separates commands so that you can run several on one line | 02:52 |
| airstrike | i see | 02:53 |
| powertool08 | garrett__: did you get any of my messages? freenode says unregistered user pm's are blocked due to spam problems | 02:53 |
| garrett__ | airstrike: it's a command separator. command1 ; command2. so 'cd / ; find | grep django' cd's to your root dir then runs find from there | 02:53 |
| airstrike | so it's really just 'find | grep django' | 02:53 |
| garrett__ | powertool08: i didn't | 02:53 |

| diddl | @emerald and ccsm: changing it there does not work for me. I had to include a 'emerald --replace' in my session startup | 03:14 |
| judgepg | bbyever: thanks for your answer. How about turning the power off it | 03:14 |
| zcat[1] | no idea, but mine is working and yours isn't .. take it or leave it :) | 03:14 |

| ynyus77 | hello everyone | 03:15 |
| test | does anyone know what the code is for emaerald themes | 03:15 |
| judgepg | bbyever, can I kill the power safely after umount, or that's not really controlled by Ubuntu | 03:15 |
| bbyever | judgepg: it should be safe after unmounting it | 03:15 |
| judgepg | bbyever, thanks buddy | 03:15 |
| NeilDude | okay you guys. moment of truth! I just followed a tutorial word for word and i am at a stopping point not because "i" screwed something up, but because LINUX screwed something up. | 03:15 |
| bbyever | judgepg: np | 03:15 |
| test | is it emerald --replace & disown | 03:15 |
| ynyus77 | can anybody help me choose | 03:15 |

| NeilDude | you decide! | 03:16 |
| ynyus77 | thanks | 03:16 |
| gamui | hey people | 03:16 |
| bazhang | NeilDude, ask a question | 03:16 |
| zcat[1] | test: that would be in the terminal, so that emerald goes background and doesn't get killed when you close the terminal.. I says alt-F2, not terminal | 03:16 |
| bazhang | NeilDude, and stay on topic | 03:16 |
| NeilDude | bazhang, why does linux suck so much? | 03:16 |
| elkbuntu | NeilDude, with that attitude, i advise giving up. hurting people will only cause you more trouble. | 03:16 |
| Starnestommy | NeilDude: because that is your opinion on linux | 03:17 |
| gamui | wow, special conversation | 03:17 |
| bbyever | NeilDude: if you dont like it, use windows or os x or whatever you see fit | 03:17 |
| Br0k3 | ok | 03:17 |
| elkbuntu | yep, definately time to give up NeilDude. | 03:17 |
| zcat[1] | NeilDude: all OSes suck .. linux doesn't suck as much as some others.. | 03:17 |
| bazhang | NeilDude, bad timing | 03:17 |
| gamui | UBUNTU OWNS! | 03:17 |

| Invisionfree | Why does it freeze whenever I click Print in any program? Hardy, anyone help? | 03:17 |
| Templarian | Huge tip for you guys don't edit your config files from windows... they should put a warning about that. | 03:17 |
| rabid | you can use dos2unix | 03:18 |
| zcat[1] | Ubuntu would suck slightly less if I could find a way to record /dev/video0; composite1 without having to screen-record tvtime | 03:18 |
| NeilDude | i would have to say that grub boot loader is a big piece of sh*t! | 03:18 |
| Nehal | i'm trying to connect to my network. dmesg shows a message like this: wlan0: authentication with [my router] timed out. i have bcm4306 and i have run the b43-fwcutter. i have kernel 2.6.24 | 03:18 |

| NeilDude | garrett__, there will always be a divide between linux users and everyone else. when you fail to meet success with windows, you just try again and it works. nobody smites you for your rage. if you fail at linux, you try again and fail again. then when you smite linux, there's a whole community of people smiting you. you people are called fanboys and you don't help in any way | 03:21 |

| blah561 | Any ideas how I can allow to have "permission" to overwrite this file? | 03:23 |

| garrett__ | NeilDude: and if you have access to windows on that machine, have you tried using a SMART disagnostic tool, just to rule out any possible disk-failure issues? | 03:28 |

| SeaPhor | shree_, check syntax | 03:28 |
| bazhang | gamui, then depart | 03:28 |
| gamui | so lets just have a simpler conversation | 03:28 |
| shree_ | CaptainMorgan: SeaPhor | 03:28 |
| integrand | does starcraft/broodwar run on ubuntu? | 03:28 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: SMART's basically a diagnostic self-check in the firmware for your HD which will record some good stats on your disk | 03:28 |
| blah561 | I just receieve a directory listing of the content on the Desktop. | 03:28 |

| Invisionfree | Starnestommy? | 03:28 |
| integrand | battlenet no problem? | 03:28 |
| blah561 | I have the file in a folder, is it possible to set the folder permitions to "777" or such? | 03:28 |
| Starnestommy | Invisionfree: I'm not sure how to print from the command line, but I am pretty sure that it can be done | 03:28 |
| NeilDude | garrett__I followed that step by step until I reached step... 10. it says, "install base system". if i attempt to proceed, I get an error | 03:29 |
| Nostahl | integrand that im not sure | 03:29 |
| integrand | hmm | 03:29 |
| bbyever | blah561: chmod 777 folder | 03:29 |
| blah561 | thanks | 03:29 |
| Starnestommy | blah561: try this first: sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/Desktop | 03:29 |
| Nostahl | blah561 got a screenshot of your theme? | 03:29 |
| shree_ | CaptainMorgan: I guess the configure script that I ran prior tothis might be having a problem. le tme look if I overlooked any error | 03:29 |
| gamui | ohhhhhhh, i just understood, iwas so dumb, bye bye, guys that somehow of what easily anoyed | 03:29 |

| bbyever | blah561: so? | 03:38 |
| ThreeFingerPete | i'm having some trouble with gnome i guess. menus are coming up blank at first, and when i log in, it goes through the log in twice. is there something i can do to fix this? | 03:38 |
| NeilDude | garrett__, I have not seen that. reading | 03:38 |
| KuzNetSov | chn_boy: any editor can do PHP, some will understand and support PHP better than others | 03:38 |
| Invisionfree | Starnestommy: It still freezes after I turn the printer off .. | 03:38 |
| shree_ | SeaPhor: Well, the configure script didnt find a dependency but it didnt fail either. So I overlooked it and when I went to the next stage, amke, I got the error | 03:38 |
| shree_ | SeaPhor: make* | 03:38 |
| Starnestommy | Invisionfree: I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas | 03:38 |
| chn_boy | I need an editor to create any web document | 03:38 |
| blah561 | I do not see my directory that I am writing to in ls -rla | 03:39 |
| chn_boy | so, what is the best??? | 03:39 |
| garrett__ | chn_boy: well, you can do that in anything and "best" is subjective | 03:39 |
| Painless | I quite like anjuta as an editor / ide | 03:39 |
| KuzNetSov | All web and php is actualy text documents, which is why any editor You Like is a good choice | 03:39 |
| SeaPhor | how would you check for dependencies in a given service? | 03:39 |
| stroyan | rabid: You mean how /dev/md0 is listed twice, once using full /dev/sdb and once including /dev/sdb1. I think you are right to be concerned. | 03:40 |
| tyler_2 | anyone want to help me getting compiz and dual monitors playing nice? | 03:40 |
| seracht | anyone here use Linuxdcpp? | 03:40 |

| Invisionfree | Starnestommy: Oops, bad up arrow! :( | 03:40 |
| wease| | go with bluefish if youre so concerned | 03:40 |
| garrett__ | chn_boy: you probably only really need syntax highlighting, automatic indention and maybe a class/function browser and name-completion | 03:40 |
| Invisionfree | Why does it freeze whenever I click Print in any program? Hardy, anyone help??? | 03:40 |
| NeilDude | garrett__, for some reason, i feel like that's going to be a complete waste of time and not solve my problem. | 03:40 |
| KuzNetSov | chn_boy: Thats why | 03:40 |
| chn_boy | I want an editor like macromedia dreamweaver. So, what is your suggestion?? | 03:40 |
| rabid | stroyan: /dev/md0 can be started with --examine --scan (starts on those for partitions) however i think i have some bad superblocks to repair | 03:40 |
| bbyever | blah561: if you did ls -la in /home/<you> the and you chmod'ed the Desktop folder, then the line thaat has Desktop at the end should start with drwxrwxrwx | 03:40 |
| garrett__ | chn_boy: i like vim becuase i'm stuck in my ways, but eclipse is good, and so is ajunta, as was mentioned | 03:41 |
| rabid | four* | 03:41 |
| bbyever | blah561: use ls -la | grep Desktop | 03:41 |
| alex123 | hey guys, is there a way to find out which mouse driver is in use? i.e., get a list of running drivers or something like that | 03:41 |
| wease| | bluefish, vim | 03:41 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: basically, just boot off a cd. fdisk your disk and list the partitoin types | 03:41 |
| KuzNetSov | So you can try Eclipse, Quanta+ and Bluefish | 03:41 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: if it's not type 83, that's your problem. should only take 3minutes to do | 03:41 |

| garrett__ | NeilDude: or you could boot off a floppy | 03:42 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: basically, all you need is a way to boot | 03:42 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: there might be a windows utility that'll do that | 03:42 |
| chn_boy | Oj.. | 03:42 |

| chn_boy | thanks for help | 03:42 |
| D3javu | eh, what is default root password? | 03:42 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: all you need to do is determine what the partition type is | 03:42 |
| Starnestommy | D3javu: there isn't one | 03:42 |
| Sarah | Ahadiel, is there another way to fix it do you think | 03:42 |
| Ahadiel | D3javu, If you want you can set it, sudo passwd | 03:42 |
| NeilDude | garrett__, which one should i get? | 03:42 |
| NeilDude | garrett__, ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current | 03:43 |
| bbyever | blah561: ok so now use sudo chmod 777 -R Desktop | 03:43 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: i dunno--you can use ANY linux boot cd | 03:43 |
| Ahadiel | Sarah, I haven't even heard your problem >_> | 03:43 |
| Traveler2 | hi folks, i've followed a tutorial to backup my box to another box by gzip-ing everything in my root, then copying it accross and unzipping, this has worked ok but now on boot I get "waiting for root filesystem" can this be repaired? | 03:43 |
| rabid | stroyan: any idea what i need to do for the 4 devices one to be the only raid5 config | 03:43 |
| Starnestommy | D3javu: just use sudo; there's no need to use the root account directly | 03:43 |
| garrett__ | NeilDude: checking that link | 03:43 |
| Sarah | Ahadiel, oh ok | 03:43 |
| tritium | D3javu: ubuntu disables teh root account by default for security. | 03:43 |

| d4t4min3r | anyone seen this before | 03:48 |

| d4t4min3r | joe_chat: a app for sound... card intel ich5, and sound levels | 03:52 |
| wladston | garrett__: thanks, going to try it ... will report results later! | 03:53 |
| blah561 | Maybe I should try a different application, like the text editor, and see if I still receieve permission denied? | 03:53 |
| tritium | wease|: because the channel is too busy for that, and you've been warned | 03:53 |
| tmapj | can anyone tell me how to enable the tun module? | 03:53 |

| joe_chat | are sound levels set right you tab through and hit 7 for 70% m will toggle mute | 03:53 |
| wease| | wow | 03:53 |
| bbyever | blah561: that would be a good idea | 03:53 |
| d4t4min3r | joe_chat: master s is set to zero | 03:53 |
| d4t4min3r | is that right? | 03:53 |
| wease| | i keep up just fine. whats wrong with you folks? | 03:53 |
| rabid | stroyan: that did the trick, i can only start the device with --assemble, i would like to have it start with mdadm mdadm.conf i current have that correct ARRAY line in my conf, but i get Devicedisappeared events on mdadm restart | 03:54 |

| joe_chat | tab through and hit 70 at that bar | 03:54 |

| garrett__ | Acorn: there's no "best" | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Acorn: 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. | 03:54 |
| Simonft | wease|: just stop or someone will have you kicked. | 03:54 |
| Acorn | hehe | 03:54 |
| wease| | bah | 03:54 |
| garrett__ | Acorn: i use BitchX, because I run ssh from a colo'd box through screen | 03:54 |
| wease| | kick me | 03:54 |
| joe_chat | i forgot how u save alsa mixer settings but it should come back at boot | 03:54 |
| bazhang | wease|, you have been asked numerous times | 03:54 |
| joe_chat | google search | 03:55 |
| Simonft | thanks | 03:55 |
| garrett__ | Acorn: and i prefer console-based irc stuff for reasons i can't explain | 03:55 |
| Starnestommy | Acorn: I like xchat, irssi, conspire, and telnet, although conspire isn't in the repos and telnet is very minimalist | 03:55 |
| d4t4min3r | joe_chat: how do i exit it and save | 03:55 |
| blah561 | TextEditor can save to the file, so I am assuming that it is a fault with Gene? | 03:55 |
| Starnestommy | Acorn: irssi is very scriptable but console-based | 03:55 |
| bbyever | blah561: yes | 03:55 |
| stroyan | rabid: Is it possible that you are changing mdadm.conf but rebooting with an initrd that doesn't have that change? | 03:55 |

| garrett__ | blah561: hit 'i' to type stuff | 03:57 |
| Lagbolt | Simonft, i am not asking in the sense that i have a general problem, i want to know if anyone has one and can talk to me about it and there sucess | 03:57 |
| blah561 | oh, nice. | 03:57 |
| Lagbolt | not if anyone can solve a problem maybe not having one | 03:57 |
| Lagbolt | :) | 03:57 |
| Simonft | Lagbolt: google the printer name then hardy. | 03:57 |

| blah561 | okay, thanks. | 03:57 |
| garrett__ | blah561: learning curve's a bit steep, but it becomes second nature after like 20minutes or so | 03:57 |

| d4t4min3r | then it works | 03:57 |
| Lagbolt | printer? | 03:58 |
| Lagbolt | Simonft, do you even know what a mininote is? | 03:58 |

| Lagbolt | Simonft, thanks. | 03:59 |
| kindofabuzz | you must only have one workspace | 03:59 |
| Acorn | could it have been something i changed in compiz? | 03:59 |
| Simonft | Lagbolt: your welcome | 03:59 |
| d4t4min3r | nothing.. my sound is still messed up | 04:00 |
| Lagbolt | bazhang, no need to be like that. but now i understand why ubuntu chan people flee to #debian and ask their questions in there | 04:00 |
| d4t4min3r | i have to jiggle it to 100 percent on teh sound icon top right then back down and it will sound right | 04:00 |
| bbyever | Acorn: right click on the window bar and then Move to another workspace | 04:00 |
| joe_chat | d4t4min3: in console try man and command ie man alsactl or man alsamixer this loads the linux man pages | 04:00 |
| NeilDude | garrett__, I just attempted to boot DSL and get this. it says "scanning for USB Devices... done" followed by, "an't find knoppix filesystem, sorry. dropping you to a very limited shell. and then when i attempt to type something, it doesn't work. apparently DSL doesn't recognize my VERY SIMPLE USB KEYBOARD. | 04:01 |
| joe_chat | sorry i use console im a long time former slackware user | 04:01 |
| NeilDude | so here's what i have to say to linux. FUCK it and FUCK you all | 04:01 |
| garrett__ | what an ass. | 04:01 |
| joe_chat | boot Neil please | 04:01 |
| bazhang | he quit | 04:01 |
| KuzNetSov | Ah USB kbd | 04:01 |
| Starnestommy | joe_chat: he left on his own | 04:01 |
| joe_chat | good | 04:01 |
| theFATMAN | ban him | 04:01 |
| d4t4min3r | so what am i supposed to do | 04:02 |
| Acorn | bbyever: doens't work | 04:02 |
| Acorn | the window just stays where it is | 04:02 |
| garrett__ | guess he didn't like free support from people helping in their spare time | 04:02 |
| catandfear | is anyone here good with restriced driver stuff? | 04:02 |
| Simonft | !anyone | catandfear | 04:02 |
| ubottu | catandfear: 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? | 04:02 |
| garrett__ | oh well, i'm sure EEBKAC | 04:02 |
| joe_chat | d4t4min3: youre done it should fix the next time u reboot | 04:02 |
| garrett__ | er | 04:02 |
| JoaoJoao_ | owdy | 04:02 |
| JoaoJoao_ | howdy | 04:02 |
| garrett__ | EEBKAU | 04:02 |
| tritium | JoaoJoao_: doody | 04:02 |
| Simonft | !hi | JoaoJoao_ | 04:02 |
| ubottu | JoaoJoao_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 04:02 |
| d4t4min3r | joe_chat: all i did was do man alsamixer | 04:03 |
| theFATMAN | catandfear: in what capacity? | 04:03 |
| d4t4min3r | i didnt change any settings | 04:03 |
| d4t4min3r | it was just like a manual for the alsamixer | 04:03 |
| wladston | garrett__: well, tried again, and it didn't work on the dynamic setup ... I'll just stop bothering, archive my LCD monitor for another six months and hope that on the next release, Ubuntu will support my scrren .... :( thanks for the help ... | 04:03 |
| joe_chat | im giving u a reference so u can leaarn on you own | 04:03 |
| catandfear | I have an ati card in my laptop that ubuntu says the drivers need updated | 04:03 |
| d4t4min3r | joe_chat: so what did i do that will fix my problem | 04:03 |
| catandfear | but just pops the restricted drivers page up and won't let me do much else | 04:04 |
| joe_chat | catandfear: i just didthat | 04:04 |
| tritium | joe_chat: why just "u"? Be fair to all the letters in the alphabet. | 04:04 |
| JoaoJoao_ | So, I installed flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.1.218ubuntu1 , but websites with Flash still crash Firefox constantly | 04:04 |
| theFATMAN | catandfear: just a sec | 04:04 |
| garrett__ | wladston: sorry we couldn't get it going. i'm sure it DOES work, as some googleness has showed positive reports, but i only know about pecularities in nvidia hardware | 04:04 |
| garrett__ | wladston: i'd say ask again tomorrow or something | 04:04 |
| garrett__ | wladston: someone might know then | 04:04 |
| joe_chat | d4t4min3: by setting volume an =nd saving setting thats all u have to do | 04:04 |
| wladston | garrett__: I've been trying to get it working for about 10 months | 04:04 |
| garrett__ | wladston: or post on the forums | 04:04 |
| garrett__ | wladston: WHOA | 04:04 |
| catandfear | joe_chat: sorry, I am trying to do a few things at once. | 04:04 |
| JoaoJoao_ | Is there anything else to make Flash stop crashing Firefox? | 04:04 |
| joe_chat | abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz | 04:05 |
| garrett__ | wladston: dualhead stuff could be a bit more intuitive :( | 04:05 |
| digitalvectorz | yay, now we know our abc's... | 04:05 |
| digitalvectorz | next time won't you type with me | 04:05 |
| wladston | garrett__: I already posted on the foruns, reported bug, voted on brainstorm, asked on launchpad ... | 04:05 |
| garrett__ | wladston: can't ask for anything more than that | 04:05 |
| garrett__ | wladston: hm | 04:05 |
| theFATMAN | catandfear: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html | 04:05 |
| joe_chat | catandfear: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide | 04:05 |
| tritium | digitalvectorz: yet so many can't spell | 04:05 |
| garrett__ | wladston: sorry, man | 04:05 |
| digitalvectorz | tritium, so true. | 04:05 |
| wladston | garrett__: I wish I could pay some bucks to at least help someone to solve this issue | 04:06 |
| JoaoJoao_ | Maybe disabling PulseAudio | 04:06 |
| wladston | hopefully they'll implement bounties on ubuntu soon | 04:06 |
| garrett__ | wladston: just an offhand guess, but have you unloaded all the modules and made sure that you're not specifying a goofy modeline? | 04:06 |
| yotsuba_ | JoaoJoao_: I've been through the same dilema. It seems that you have to uninstall the free plugin and lib and install flash 10 beta | 04:06 |
| joe_chat | catandfear: worked for me and now glxgears shows 6800fps | 04:06 |
| garrett__ | wladston: or hit ctrl+alt+(numpad + or numbad -) | 04:06 |
| garrett__ | wladston: to toggle resolutions? | 04:06 |
| garrett__ | wladston: maybe the default modeline isn't supported | 04:06 |
| DaNmarner | Any body has a idea about how to get into the python channel? | 04:06 |
| tritium | wladston: there have been bounties already | 04:06 |
| d4t4min3r | joe_chat: when i move my volume now it doesnt effect well ... the volume | 04:07 |
| JoaoJoao_ | yotsuba_: I already got the flashplugin-nonfree 10 version installed | 04:07 |
| wladston | garrett__: well, that's beyond the stuff I know ... I have a clean instalation of Ubuntu ... | 04:07 |
| d4t4min3r | it doesnt go up or down | 04:07 |
| d4t4min3r | just stays the same | 04:07 |
| joe_chat | it does on mine | 04:07 |
| yotsuba_ | Ah, then you're in the same dilemma as myself. | 04:07 |
| garrett__ | wladston: try starting X and then hitting ctrl+alt+(numpad + or numbad -) | 04:07 |
| yotsuba_ | I can't seem to get any system audio working now. | 04:07 |
| garrett__ | wladston: who knows, maybe it'll work | 04:07 |
| JoaoJoao_ | audio works fine | 04:07 |
| joe_chat | please hold | 04:07 |
| yotsuba_ | It tells me the device is already busy | 04:07 |
| wladston | garrett__: tryed the numpad shortcut, nothing happened.. | 04:07 |
| garrett__ | wladston: hmmm | 04:08 |
| harpreet_ | hello | 04:08 |
| Fishscene | yotsuba_: Have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 04:08 |
| wladston | garrett__: will try | 04:08 |
| JoaoJoao_ | but e.g. if I'm watching a video on Youtube and try to watch another one, Firefox crashes | 04:08 |
| JoaoJoao_ | Would disabling PulseAudio have any side effects? | 04:08 |
| garrett__ | wlad: on my keyboard (laptop) that's ctrl+alt+fn+; | 04:08 |
| d4t4min3r | yotsuba_: it seemed at first the sound wouldnt play unless i jiggled the volume all the way up then back down.. then i changed the settings in the prefrenced and moved the volume up and now the volume in the icon doenst work.. it doesnt effect the sound | 04:08 |
| JoaoJoao_ | PulseAudio seems to be a major PITA | 04:09 |
| d4t4min3r | yotsuba_: so my sound it just really really loud now | 04:09 |
| JoaoJoao_ | at least until it stabilizes | 04:09 |
| wladston | garrett__: weird ... it cloned my screen for the login window ... but after login, it shut down the second screen ... | 04:09 |
| d4t4min3r | wait there it goes agin.. no sound | 04:10 |
| achilles | has anyone used "UDF-TOOLS" for old RW-CD | 04:10 |
| vanessa | I cannot for the life of me find a linux app to rip a DVD to my desktop. I don't want to encode it or anything. I want the straight video_ts file etc | 04:10 |
| wladston | garrett__: I can get it working pretty with the correct resolutions, but just on the clone mode | 04:10 |
| yotsuba_ | Fishscene: tried that, no change. | 04:10 |
| d4t4min3r | i can hear it very distorted but i cant hear any words | 04:10 |
| === fiyawerkin is now known as fiya_werkin | ||
| vanessa | can anyone help? | 04:10 |
| d4t4min3r | yotsuba_: did you get it fixed | 04:10 |
| garrett__ | wladston: huh. that might be a good thing | 04:10 |
| garrett__ | wladston: i don't have dualhead at my disposal at the moment, unfortuantely, so i can't help out too much | 04:10 |
| bbyever | vanessa: put the dvd in, open in in nautilus, copy the contents, paste wherever you want | 04:10 |
| Fishscene | Vanessa, have you tried VLC? | 04:10 |
| yotsuba_ | says this: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. | 04:11 |
| === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris | ||
| vanessa | nautilus you say | 04:11 |
| garrett__ | wladston: does your laptop have a function key to toggle between your built-in display and the vga/dvi out? | 04:11 |
| yotsuba_ | this is when I try to test it in the "sounds" preferences | 04:11 |
| wladston | garrett__: sure man ... well, let's give it another 6 months :) untill then, my brother will be superhappy to have an extra monitor to work on his windows box :) | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | vanessa, i just normally dd the cd/dvd to an iso file. :) you can just mount the cd/dvd and copy the files over. done that befor also. | 04:11 |
| j1solutions | whole ah | 04:11 |
| vanessa | I didn't realize VLC copied DVDs | 04:11 |
| garrett__ | wladston: haha, cheers. silver lining and all that :"P | 04:11 |
| wladston | ;) | 04:12 |
| vanessa | this DVD has special sony copy protection | 04:12 |
| yotsuba_ | d4t4min3r: no, I did not get it fixed yet | 04:12 |
| Fishscene | VLC can re-encode tons of things. Although it might be a little slow | 04:12 |
| vanessa | I doubt a dd will work | 04:12 |
| Fishscene | oh the Sony Balogna | 04:12 |
| vanessa | 007 Casino royale | 04:12 |
| garrett__ | the sarpie-marker-defeated sony copy protection? | 04:12 |
| vanessa | uh maybe | 04:13 |
| Dr_willis | vanessa, i just used dd on about 5 dvd's befor. :) it does keep the encryption - which is one big reason to use somthing like k9copy | 04:13 |
| rickyfingers_ | garrett__: care to elaborate? | 04:13 |
| bazhang | maybe rkhunter can do it | 04:13 |
| garrett__ | rickyfingers_: some of the sony copy protection crap can be defeated by painting out a ring on the disc with a felt-dip (cleans off with water -- so actually, don't use a sharpie) pen | 04:14 |
| garrett__ | rickyfingers_: google it | 04:14 |
| D3javu | in which directory the apt-get's server list located? | 04:14 |
| vanessa | k9copy seems to be what I want | 04:14 |
| JoaoJoao_ | hmmm killing pulseaudio made Firefox stop crashing, at least for a while | 04:14 |
| xzhou | hello | 04:14 |
| vanessa | /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:15 |

| tritium | Simonft: mount | 04:15 |
| matthew | how can I get firefox 3 rc1? Cause the file they give me is some odd library thing | 04:15 |
| garrett__ | Simonft: mount ./file.iso /where/you/want/to/mount/it -t iso9660 | 04:15 |

| Simonft | ok, thanks | 04:15 |
| rickyfingers_ | Simonft: just use mount | 04:15 |
| garrett__ | Simonft: er | 04:15 |

| garrett__ | Simonft: mount ./fileiso ./dir -o loop | 04:15 |

| Simonft | thanks | 04:15 |
| garrett__ | Simonft: np | 04:16 |
| matthew | nvm | 04:16 |
| garrett__ | Simonft: if it complains, add -t 9660; probably won't, though | 04:16 |
| Simonft | ok | 04:16 |

| Wangberg | does anyone know if you can backup or save pidgin user logs ? | 04:17 |
| Fishscene | NP | 04:17 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: pidgin has native support for conversation logs, no? | 04:17 |
| achilles | UDF-TOOLS ! Does this ring any bell to anyone ? adaptec? Roxio? now Ubuntu | 04:17 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: or do you mean once it's logged, some way to automatically back it up? | 04:17 |
| Wangberg | well, i'm installing a new distro | 04:17 |
| Wangberg | but i just wanted to back them up and keep them for records | 04:18 |
| achilles | get 30 plugins for Pidgin you get it ALL | 04:18 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: just upload them somewhere | 04:18 |
| Wangberg | garrett: how ? | 04:18 |
| kindofabuzz | repos | 04:18 |
| cypha | what do i do if my sounds have stopped? | 04:19 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: well, you could, for example, make a .tar file of them or a .zip or whatever and upload them to divshare? | 04:19 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: or you could burn them to cd? | 04:19 |
| cypha | besides restart | 04:19 |
| Wangberg | i can't access them in that format | 04:19 |
| Wangberg | i would have to go throuh and copy/paste text | 04:19 |
| achilles | GO TO SYNAPTICS and you see a lot of extras for Pidgin | 04:19 |
| Wangberg | i don't want to do that | 04:19 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: uh... what? | 04:19 |
| Wangberg | i can't just save them or zip them up.... | 04:19 |

| garrett__ | Wangberg: look in your ~/.purple directory. find what you want. make an archive of it. upload tat somewhere. | 04:21 |
| garrett__ | marathe25: type "mount" | 04:21 |

| [azrael] | hello, can someone tell me the command for the sticky notes applet | 04:22 |
| Starnestommy | [azrael]: tomboy | 04:22 |
| yotsuba_ | well.. that actually worked.. | 04:23 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: and just as a heads up, think through what you ask a little bit. like, imagine you were writing a quick email to someone and you wanted to give tem all the facts so they could work from that | 04:23 |
| garrett__ | Wangberg: it helps prevent miscommuncations and frustration | 04:23 |
| marathe25 | So I recently moved my /home folder to a new partition, where it currently shows as being mounted. I never deleted my old /home folder. Is it still around somewhere? | 04:23 |
| [azrael] | no i mean the other one, the GNOME_StickyNotesApplet | 04:23 |
| theFATMAN | UBUNTU ROCKS!!!!! | 04:23 |
| yotsuba_ | I'm sure there was another way I could have fixed it, but the good-old windows way of doing things solved the problem | 04:23 |

| Starnestommy | [azrael]: I'm not sure if there's a command for it | 04:26 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | how how how ? | 04:26 |
| garrett__ | diddl: and it's a catch-22, because people who know what libpurple is probably aren't going to be searching for their logfiles. | 04:26 |
| CapaH | err.. upside down :) | 04:26 |
| [azrael] | legend2440: therefore i have to create a starter which includes the command | 04:26 |

| Starnestommy | [azrael]: /usr/lib/gnome-applets/stickynotes_applet | 04:29 |
| Acorn | tritium: how come the computer still works with it uninstalled? | 04:29 |
| Starnestommy | [azrael]: I'm not sure what arguments it uses, though | 04:29 |
| tritium | Acorn: yes, but it will reinstall the dependency | 04:29 |
| tritium | Acorn: because it's just a meta-package | 04:29 |
| XDS2010 | hi | 04:29 |
| matthew | tmapj, will that get rc1? cause the package manager says its version 3b5, which isn't what I want | 04:29 |
| garrett__ | Templarian: fair enough, but totally offtopic | 04:29 |
| [azrael] | Starnestommy: thx, i will try it out | 04:29 |
| * Templarian wonders if there is a dnd irc... hmm a part of me doesn't want to know. | 04:29 | |
| XDS2010 | hi everyone | 04:29 |
| garrett__ | Templarian: dunno | 04:29 |
| garrett__ | Templarian: have you googled for dnd irc? | 04:29 |
| rabidweezle | arg, wine's sources.list is down on their site for ubuntu :( | 04:30 |

| tmapj | matthew whats rcl? | 04:30 |
| * Templarian leaves you guys thanks everyone for help. garrett_ i'm not actually going to research it lol. | 04:30 | |
| tmapj | can anyone tell me how to enable the tun module? | 04:30 |
| rabidweezle | can someone pm me the sources.list line for wine's repo/ | 04:30 |
| rabidweezle | ? | 04:30 |
| * garrett__ poops in your milk | 04:30 | |
| Starnestommy | tmapj: sudo modprobe tun | 04:30 |
| tritium | garrett__: stop, please. Stay on topic. | 04:30 |
| garrett__ | tritium: yeah, that's what i was trying to do | 04:30 |
| matthew | tmapj, rc1 is release candidate 1, which unbreaks some stuff, and works better than 3b5 | 04:30 |
| garrett__ | tritium: i need to stop feeding that stuff. | 04:31 |
| tritium | Acorn: nothing serious. Just remember to reinstall it before you do a dist-upgrade. | 04:31 |
| Acorn | i thought the hardware test thing was something optional | 04:31 |
| [azrael] | Starnestommy: i'm using openSuSe, the stickynotes_applet is not in that folder, nor can i find it with "whereis" | 04:34 |
| Starnestommy | [azrael]: someone in #suse probably knows where opensuse has it | 04:35 |
| diddl | @azrael: one way to locate it would be to use your package management tool to locate the gnome packages and then look at the installed files. (assuming that the opensuse package tool is as powerful as debians) | 04:35 |

| nickrud | rabidweezle should be the same as gutsy, should only have to change it to hardy | 04:37 |
| DJ_Cranky | rabidweezle i wondered what it was, sorry...? | 04:38 |
| nickrud | rabidweezle s/gutsy/hardy/ that is | 04:38 |
| rabidweezle | oh | 04:38 |
| rabidweezle | sorry, I'm a little snappy today | 04:38 |
| rabidweezle | sorry | 04:38 |

| cypha | MY TERMINAL isn't starting! | 04:38 |
| cypha | it opens, but doesn't show the CL | 04:38 |
| DJ_Cranky | rabidweezle no problem, | 04:38 |
| intell | I just purchased an ATI Radeon x1550. Got the drivers in. How do I use composite video in/out? | 04:38 |
| cypha | then it turns grey/black | 04:38 |
| cypha | it never actually gets to the cl | 04:38 |
| [azrael] | Starnestommy: that's the path you gave me | 04:39 |
| garrett__ | cypha: my guess would be that your console's using the framebuffer, and something's mucked with that | 04:39 |
| [azrael] | Starnestommy: is there another console command to find that applet? | 04:40 |
| Starnestommy | [azrael]: locate stickynotes_applet | 04:40 |
| cypha | framebuffer? | 04:40 |
| cypha | garrett__, what's that? | 04:40 |
| rabidweezle | nickrud, I don't have the old repo in any of my pc's sources.list :/ | 04:40 |
| tritium | [azrael]: this channel is for ubuntu support | 04:40 |
| ActionGrant | how do I join a different network? | 04:40 |
| Starnestommy | ActionGrant: /server new.server | 04:40 |
| ActionGrant | thanks | 04:41 |
| garrett__ | cyhpa: the framebuffer allows your console to display graphics (like the splash screen) and run in non-console resolutions, like 640x480 or 1024x768 | 04:41 |
| === roxandLAPTOP is now known as roxandAWAY | ||
| nickrud | rabidweezle deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main should do it | 04:41 |
| garrett__ | cypha: otherwise you use the same resolution as the bios | 04:41 |
| [azrael] | Starnestommy: this command does not work | 04:41 |
| Starnestommy | [azrael]: find / -iname stickynotes_applet | 04:41 |
| nickrud | [azrael] grep stickynotes /usr/lib , should find it | 04:41 |
| garrett__ | cypha: can you goot off a cd? | 04:41 |
| cypha | garrett__, i haven't tried restart | 04:41 |
| garrett__ | cyhpa: if so, google for how to disable the framebuffer in ubuntu; i don't remember the boot flag off hand | 04:42 |
| cypha | i know that will work | 04:42 |
| * nickrud looks at what he typed, and gags | 04:42 | |
| cypha | but why has this happened at all is my question | 04:42 |
| cypha | *i know restart will work, that is | 04:42 |
| rabidweezle | thanks nickrud | 04:42 |
| garrett__ | cypha: i don't have an answer for you, unfortunately | 04:42 |
| Acorn | why do my windows keep opening in the top left corner of the screen? :( | 04:42 |
| Acorn | when i open add/remove programs and it scans, the scanning window is all the way up in the corner | 04:42 |
| cypha | garrett__, does your linux ever do errors like that out of the blue? | 04:43 |
| garrett__ | cypha: can't say it does. | 04:43 |
| garrett__ | cypha: usually once it works it works | 04:43 |
| cypha | this sucks | 04:43 |
| cypha | i'm wondering if i should reformat | 04:43 |
| garrett__ | cypha: i don't disagree | 04:43 |
| garrett__ | cypha: linux != windows | 04:44 |
| cypha | you don't disagree with a reformat? | 04:44 |
| nickrud | windows ~= windows | 04:44 |
| cypha | meaning you would agree | 04:44 |
| garrett__ | cypha: and using that as a base premise, once you figure out why tat happened you can actually fix it | 04:44 |
| rabidweezle | hrm, they don't have one for hardy right now, I will use gutsy... | 04:44 |
| cypha | how can i figure out why? | 04:44 |
| garrett__ | cypha: when it boots all you get is a gray screen? | 04:44 |
| cypha | huh | 04:44 |
| cypha | no | 04:44 |
| cypha | i'm in right now | 04:44 |
| garrett__ | cypha: oh, i misunderstood. can you run your problem by me again? | 04:45 |
| [azrael] | Starnestommy: i found it: /usr/lib/gnome-panel/stickynotes_applet | 04:45 |

| garrett__ | cypha: huh. i can't speak to that directly, sorry. i don't know why it'd do that | 04:47 |
| nickrud | cypha you could try sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal | 04:47 |
| rabidweezle | looks to be the wine repo is down so you can still download the packages and install with gdebi package installer from the direct download with firefox at http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ | 04:47 |

| cypha | i'm saying, i have'nt restarted the computer | 04:48 |
| cypha | i' sure that would work | 04:48 |

| Rotund | mib_4u9qp3, I have one, but it's hard to setup right now as the calibrate program is broken | 04:48 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | Rotund: What driver did you use? | 04:49 |
| garrett__ | bobsomebody: and i'm glad i don't have to fix it :P | 04:49 |

| bobsomebody | garrett__, lol | 04:49 |
| nickrud | !find seom-player | 04:49 |
| bobsomebody | unfortunately i do :/ | 04:49 |
| Rotund | mib_4u9qp3, usbtouchscreen or something like that | 04:49 |
| ubottu | Package/file seom-player does not exist in hardy | 04:49 |

| bobsomebody | :( | 04:49 |
| nickrud | YourNameHere apparently none | 04:49 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | Rotund: I tried to set up an X11 driver from conan.de (I think) and some Perl-based driver; neither worked. Have you ever encountered them? | 04:50 |
| Rotund | I have a removal script that's throwing an error. How do I tell apt-get or dpkg to ignore the error and remove anyway? | 04:50 |
| garrett__ | bobsomebody: maybe the process has an absurd priority and it's screwing with the X poll events for input? | 04:50 |
| YourNameHere | nickrud, dang. yukon needs it for playback. I noticed that it came with the beryl recording plugin, but I can not find it by itself | 04:50 |

| bobsomebody | yeah i read that part | 04:50 |
| garrett__ | bobsomebody: oh, someone mentoined that? | 04:50 |
| bobsomebody | suposedly a kernal recompile might fix it | 04:50 |

| nickrud | Rotund take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/dspam-webfrontend.postrm , that's where the error is. See if you can fix the cause, and putting exit 0 just after set -e (or line 2, if there is no set -e) is a big hammer fix. | 04:53 |
| tigliona1bit | what's the apt package for the commandline mysql client? | 04:53 |

| nickrud | Acorn I like it a lot (but I only keep one panel on the top). You might like the kde (kubuntu-desktop) gui better | 04:56 |
| garrett__ | bobsomebody: it seems like tweaking the kernel options is the best bet, but the lag will still occur under heavy IO input | 04:56 |
| garrett__ | bobsomebody: *shrug* goofy problem | 04:57 |
| Acorn | nickrud: when i move the top panel the space where it used to be goes all strange and ghosty | 04:57 |

| nickrud | Intelligitimate an ati chip? | 04:58 |
| Intelligitimate | Yep@ | 04:58 |
| Intelligitimate | nickrud, yeah. | 04:58 |
| nickrud | did you try to install the drivers from the ati site? | 04:58 |
| Intelligitimate | It was working fine. | 04:58 |
| Intelligitimate | I just tried to make the tv-out work. | 04:59 |
| Intelligitimate | And screwed it up. | 04:59 |
| Intelligitimate | Now when it boots, I don't get --anything-- but a white screen. | 04:59 |
| Intelligitimate | Not logos, not text, no nothing. | 04:59 |
| nickrud | ok, hit ctl-alt-f2 , you should get a console | 04:59 |

| Dot2Kode | ok i just gota say something...i setup ubuntu a few days ago to play around with...well after tonight xp just got kicked to the curb. | 05:00 |
| nickrud | Intelligitimate ok, boot in recovery mode, and try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , and then exit. | 05:00 |
| Intelligitimate | How do I get into recovery mode? | 05:00 |
| nickrud | Intelligitimate when you boot, hit escape when you see something about grub. There'll be a menu | 05:01 |
| nickrud | Acorn clt-alt-<arrow keys> | 05:01 |
| Intelligitimate | There is no grub. | 05:01 |
| Intelligitimate | Only white screen,. | 05:01 |

| navetz | legend2440: thanks, I will look into that | 05:02 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | Any mutt users here? | 05:02 |
| kevin__ | Newbie ubuntu question: IF you have a php/MySQL site up and running already can you install some kind of control panel to administrate it? Thanks ahaed of time I am lost!!! | 05:03 |
| nickrud | Intelligitimate wow. grub comes before even the linux kernel. Can't imagine how working on tv out could do that | 05:03 |
| Sarah | i think ill have to reinstall ubuntu | 05:03 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | kevin__: You can install phpMyAdmin to administrate the MySQL database. What kind of site do you refer to? | 05:03 |
| nickrud | kevin__ install either mysql-admin , or phpmyadmin and apache2 | 05:03 |
| Intelligitimate | I am gonna remove the graphics card and try the onboard graphics. | 05:03 |
| kevin__ | its a shopping cart website and I think phpmyadmin is loaded, but the problem is that the guy workign on the site wants a control panel to load a ssl cert for the site | 05:04 |
| Starnestommy | kevin__: you could use ebox for that | 05:05 |
| * nickrud makes a note to actually take a look at ebox, rather than just thinking about it | 05:05 | |
| kevin__ | coudl you install ebox without distubing the exsiting site? | 05:05 |
| arab-boy | hi, where I can get instructions about how to install or configure compiz? please. | 05:05 |
| navetz | legend2440: I have nothing in my applications menu for firefox. | 05:06 |
| nickrud | arab-boy if you're running either gutsy or hardy, you have compiz installed already. what video chip do you have? | 05:06 |
| Intelligitimate | Wow, graphics card is completely removed...boots to white screen. | 05:06 |
| bobsomebody | kevin__, direct admin is nice if your doing hosting or stuff like that | 05:07 |
| arab-boy | nickrud: ati but I am not able to enable desktop effects. I think I have some drivers missing.. | 05:07 |
| nickrud | arab-boy probably. system->admin->hardware drivers or restricted managers look there to enable your video driver for ati or nvidia | 05:07 |
| Intelligitimate | I think I just screwed my new computer up... | 05:07 |
| nickrud | Intelligitimate if you have access to another, download dsl linux or knoppix to test | 05:08 |
| bobsomebody | bleh i think i might just pay someone to fix this stupid problem | 05:08 |
| Intelligitimate | Nothing is happening. | 05:08 |
| arab-boy | nickrud: hmmz, i am on hardware drivers and it doesn't show any drivers here.. it isn't detected. | 05:08 |
| bobsomebody | its beyond me lol | 05:08 |
| Intelligitimate | The screen is white. | 05:08 |
| Intelligitimate | Power on ---> white screen. Nothing else. | 05:09 |
| nickrud | arab-boy what type of video chip do you have? If you're not sure , lspci | grep -i vga in a terminal will tell you | 05:09 |
| black9ice | ok I have a problem with Ubuntu, it doesnt seem to be loading the best driver for my sata controller, ICH9, tried Native and AHCI in the bios, both give low hdparm scores in Ubuntu, but not other distro's | 05:09 |

| mib_4u9qp3 | sorry--long day :S | 05:10 |
| Acorn | :) | 05:10 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | all this switching around between Ubuntu and MacPorts is confusing me | 05:10 |
| xodiak | I just quit my old machine running "Xubunut" there was an option to modify the top and bottom bars and make your own. Cannot find that in Ubuntu. Is that possible? | 05:11 |
| xodiak | Xubunut = Xubuntu | 05:12 |
| Acorn | nickrud: when i add a panel it's just blank | 05:12 |
| nickrud | xodiak right click the bars, add to panel, drag them around, etc | 05:12 |
| arab-boy | xodiak: thanks for the link. it is so helpful :) | 05:12 |
| nickrud | Acorn right click it and select add to pane, add the stuff you want | 05:12 |
| JRlinux | Where do I redefine $PATH so that bash always finds it at startup. It says that it is set to include user's bin file, if it exists, but it does not seem to... | 05:12 |
| nickrud | JRlinux you do have ~/bin ? | 05:12 |
| xodiak | arab-boy: No problem. Hope it works. It did for me. | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | JRlinux, set it in the .bashrc is the common way to do that. | 05:13 |

| ubottu | Found: b43-fwcutter | 05:13 |
| cleiton | a | 05:13 |
| nickrud | JRlinux or .bash_profile | 05:13 |
| JRlinux | Dr_willis, yeah, that is what I do in KDE... Just don't see it in the gnome bashrc... | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | .bash_profile is ONLY read by 'login' shells. gnome dosent have a bashrc :) bash uses the .bashrc :) if you set it in your default bash_profile, then it should be set for all things. I think | 05:14 |
| khin | hi, im running Python 2.4.3 but for some reason when i try "from email.mime.text import MIMEText" I get "ImportError: No module named mime.text" | 05:14 |
| smmagic | okay, I just ubuntu onto my PC which has two HDs, a 160 and a 500gb. ubuntu installed to the 500gb and grub to the 160gb, so when I try to boot to the 160gb I get GRUB error 22, how do I fix it? | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | do a test.. set it in .bash_profile and see if it takes. | 05:14 |
| khin | anyone know if there is some problem with the install on dapper or something | 05:14 |
| khin | its probably just me being a python n00b of course | 05:15 |
| JRlinux | How do you make a file browser with root or su ability? | 05:15 |
| Acorn | is there any way to choose the place on the screen where newly opened windows appear? i'd rather they appeared in the middle rather than all the way in the top left corner. | 05:15 |
| * nickrud has if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then <newline> PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" <newline> fi in ~/.bash_profile | 05:15 | |
| crdlb | Acorn: using compiz? | 05:15 |
| nickrud | JRlinux alt-f2 gksu nautilus will open a root enabled browser instance | 05:16 |
| JRlinux | nickrud, THANKS | 05:16 |
| khin | Is this install of python messed up or something. Why do I not have a mime.text submodule? This seems gay | 05:16 |

| legend2440 | navetz: the empty applications menu is why you are always aked what to do with the files you download. do a search for the mimeTypes.rdf file. the firefox one not the thunderbird one and check the permissions on the file | 05:24 |

| nickrud | mhz128 yes, it is. Or was, I haven't used it for a while | 05:24 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | and i would run that in terminal? | 05:38 |
| khin | current HDD is 20 GB? get a new HDD. | 05:39 |
| psychofish25 | u type it KRaZY | 05:39 |
| TechieDragon | Is this an issue with a setting on my end; with putty; or an issue with something on the ubunty server | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | TechieDragon, under all apps? or just some? | 05:39 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, yes you do that in terminal | 05:39 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, that should keep all permissions on the files | 05:39 |
| TechieDragon | I am on a windows vista machine; running PuTTy connecting to the ubuntu server; and am at the command prompt.. | 05:40 |
| psychofish25 | what does '-p' do after cp? | 05:40 |
| moDumass | hmm, so is there a wayt o get emerald theme switcher to switch themes in hardy? | 05:40 |
| nickrud | TechieDragon probably a putty setting, is it set for vt100 ? | 05:40 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, actull do sudo cp -rp | 05:40 |

| psychofish25 | well i need it for compiz arab-boy | 05:40 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey, I am using a compiz cube, and is there any way to have different icons, and a different backround on each face of the cube? | 05:40 |
| nickrud | moDumass you have to do alt-f2 emerald --replace after selecting a theme (or, I've found no ther way) | 05:40 |
| psychofish25 | i want to know what the identifier would be | 05:40 |
| TechieDragon | Which terminal mode shoud it be set for? | 05:40 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, adding the -r in there keeps it from pestering you for each folder to copy | 05:40 |
| arab-boy | psychofish25: ah, ok. sorry no idea then ;) | 05:40 |
| psychofish25 | Auctioned, i dont believe so | 05:41 |
| nickrud | TechieDragon vt100 emulation is supported well | 05:41 |
| psychofish25 | arab-boy: thanks anyway haha | 05:41 |
| arab-boy | n.p | 05:41 |
| psychofish25 | ive posted on ubuntuforums several times but havent gotten an answer | 05:41 |
| psychofish25 | i think the forum guys are getting lazy ;-) | 05:41 |
| TechieDragon | Ok... if I run an application like nano the arrow keeys work fine. | 05:41 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | that will make an exact duplicate of my ubuntu installation to the 40 gig? | 05:41 |
| TechieDragon | so it is just at the command-line | 05:41 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | will there be any problems because of mirroring to a different size HDD? | 05:42 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, doing sudo cp -rp (mount point) (mount point) will make a direct copy | 05:42 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, its not really mirroring | 05:42 |
| psychofish25 | dabbill, what does '-rp' do? | 05:42 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | well dont know correct terminology so was just implying a direct copy to keep all my programs and settings in tact | 05:43 |
| abramson | nickrud: your suggestion did solve my original problem, but now i have another; the boot list will only show my ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu, not my other systems, even if i have the external hdd plugged in. is her a way you know of to fix this? | 05:43 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: i can not edit my tags in Rythmbox | 05:44 |
| tommy | Ubuntu 7.04 showed my hidden partition, but Hardy doesnt. ANy ideas anyone plz? | 05:44 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: Any of them? | 05:44 |
| nickrud | abramson you'd have to manually add them to /boot/grub/menu.lst , I'd suggest after the END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC line. You can simply copy the stanzas from the external. | 05:44 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, so say doing sudo cp -rp / /media/hdb1 will copy every from from / to /media/hdb1 and keep all permisions intact for the files. | 05:45 |
| CLEARviewF | When i sue Amarok, all my tags are edited like i want, but, when i see the same Collection with Rythmbox, the collection is diferent and bad configured, why? | 05:45 |
| psychofish25 | IRC is faster than a forum, but i think its too fast so alot of stuff isnt answered haha | 05:45 |
| abramson | how i do that, sorry i am a noob to ubuntu, only started 3 weeks ago | 05:45 |

| Y | CLEARviewF: That's an ID3/metadata problem. You're just editing their face values in the given program, not the actual file itself. | 05:46 |
| arab-boy | psychofish25: like your stuff ha? ;) | 05:46 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, then if you ever mess anything up in / you can do sudo cp -rp /media/hdb1 / and it will take your computer back to how it was when you copied every thing to /media/hdb1 | 05:46 |
| psychofish25 | abramson, simply open /boot/grub/menu.lst with text editor and add the HDD there | 05:46 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | you'll love ubuntu abramson, i've only been running it for a couple months if that | 05:46 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: i have a relative big collection, 7700 songs | 05:46 |
| psychofish25 | arab-boy, sorry what do u mean? haha | 05:46 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: I do not know if MusicBrainz works in Linux, but it is an excellent auto-tagging system. One moment, let me check for you. | 05:46 |
| arab-boy | psychofish25: did you get an answer for the PrScr issue? | 05:46 |
| psychofish25 | arab, nope :-( | 05:47 |
| xodiak | New to ubuntu here too. Don't have a clue about half the stuff I wan't to do..... | 05:47 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: and around 700 have lost his tags in rythmbox, why? | 05:47 |
| arab-boy | psychofish25: yeah, thats what I ment | 05:47 |
| psychofish25 | xodiak, its truly tough to get used to. r u an ex-windower? | 05:47 |
| psychofish25 | arab, ah ok | 05:47 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: Hang tight one moment bud. | 05:47 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | well i am pulling my 20GB to give to a friend and i have a 40GB to put in my comp, i just don't want to have to start over from install | 05:47 |
| abramson | how do i open it? | 05:47 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, where is your 40gig HD mounted? | 05:47 |
| nickrud | abramson ok, the fastest way would be to run cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop (to make a backup) then alt-f2 gksu gedit /etc/grub/menu.lst , and scroll to the bottom. That's where you would add. Then open a regular gedit ( alt-f2 gedit ) and navigate to one on the external. Copy and paste | 05:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hi... I've got these four files in my trash: _CACHE_MAP_ : _CACHE_001_ : _CACHE_002_ then 003. I can't delete them. When I tried I got the error: File does not exist. I then tried removing my Trash folder at ~/.local/share/Trash but now I can't delete anything. It only says "I can't move it to Trash, do you want to permanently delete it." So I have two problems: The first is when I open my trash folder through nautilus | 05:48 |
| Intelligitimate | I can't believe the fireglcontrol destroyed my computer. | 05:48 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | it's not installed yet i have to format it still | 05:48 |
| psychofish25 | KRaZY, u could torrent partitionmagic, but im not sure if this server supports illegal torrenting | 05:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | If I can't get help here, I think these questions are also suitable for #metaphics | 05:48 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | just trying to get everything ready to go | 05:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | Joke was ruined by bad spelling, but you get the idea. | 05:48 |
| psychofish25 | Arthut, at least u tried ;-) | 05:49 |
| psychofish25 | Arthur* haha | 05:49 |
| nickrud | ArthurArchnix hah. try mkdir ~/.local/share/Trash now | 05:49 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, once you mount your 40gig HD do sudo cp -rp / (mounted 40gig HD) | 05:49 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: Ok do this for me. Go to http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardDownload and download the Linux version, install it and pull it up. I'll provide a guide on how to use it in just one more moment... | 05:49 |
| buntunub | anyone know how to get window borders working with mythtv in windowed mode with compiz on? | 05:49 |
| abramson | nickrud: wer is "Boot" under computer, i dont see it | 05:49 |
| dabbill | KRaZy_WaKa, that will copy every thing in / to your 40gig HD and you should be able to then boot off the 40gig HD just like you do with the 20gig. | 05:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickrud: Yeah, I did that. It doesn't work. Would restarting my session help, because I haven't tried that. | 05:50 |
| nickrud | abramson it's /boot , at the root of the computer | 05:50 |
| navetz_ | legend2440: ok thanks ill look into it | 05:50 |
| abramson | k | 05:50 |
| nickrud | abramson you have made a backup, right? | 05:50 |
| abramson | ya | 05:50 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: i can see MuzikBrains in Amarok but i made a .asoundrc file to duplicate my stereo channel to 4.0 and now i can not use Amarok because it crashes, someting about Xine, i am in Hardy, using ALSA instead of PULSE because PULSE is buggy in Hardy :) | 05:50 |
| abramson | y? | 05:50 |
| bigmcq77 | when I run gnome it closes immediatly | 05:51 |
| abramson | mite this crash it? | 05:51 |
| nickrud | abramson before you go any further, try booting from the external (we wanna be sure you can boot if anything goes wrong) | 05:51 |
| mr_flea | Setting utc=no in /etc/default/rcS seems to have no effect. Do I need to fix this somewhere else to have it assume local hardware clock? | 05:51 |
| tommy | Ubuntu doesnt show my MS Windows internal HDD. Anyone know why? | 05:51 |
| langleyo | in system-admin i have 2 printing menu items...how do i remove one? | 05:51 |
| tommy | how can I tell Hardy to see my internal MS WIndows HDD? | 05:51 |
| navetz_ | legend2440: I found it, premissions are 777, but there is nothing in it. | 05:51 |
| tonewhy | does anyone know of a good RAW viewer or editor similar to lightroom? | 05:51 |
| kindofabuzz | tommy: it should automatically | 05:51 |
| nickrud | mr_flea that should do it, with a reboot | 05:52 |
| navetz_ | legend2440: well very little | 05:52 |
| tommy | kindofabuzz, should doesnt cut it lol | 05:52 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | that will keep all my upgrades and other programs in tact as well? (i.e. firestarter, OpenJDK, WINE) | 05:52 |
| tommy | kindofabuzz, read my post again' | 05:52 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: Obviously Musicbrainz did not rewrite the ID3 tags of the files when used in Amarok. I personally do not use my Amarok/Musicbrainz extension, I just use the program itself. Try downloading it and using that itself. | 05:52 |
| mr_flea | nickrud, I tried rebooting, but it did nothing. | 05:52 |

| nickrud | langleyo right click the menu bar, then select edit | 05:52 |
| tommy | nickrud, do you know? | 05:52 |
| langleyo | nickrud: thanks | 05:52 |
| abramson | nickrud: cant, no way to, but ive done it befor | 05:52 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | tommy: you have to mount your Win HDD | 05:52 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: | 05:52 |
| langleyo | nickrud: no option to delete one | 05:53 |
| Outlander | hi :) on the ubuntu forum in the stats of my profile, there is a "Total Thanks" count. How does that count go up? | 05:53 |
| nickrud | abramson set the external as higher priority boot than the hard drive, it should try using the grub still on the external | 05:53 |
| tommy | Ok, I did some more googling, and it is a Hardy bug. | 05:53 |
| kindofabuzz | tommy: open up nautilus, should be there | 05:53 |
| nickrud | langleyo do you see two? | 05:53 |
| tommy | KRaZy_WaKa, how do i do that? | 05:53 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: i dont use MuzikBrain in amarok, i use the program all the time to edit my tags | 05:53 |
| langleyo | nickrud: yes | 05:53 |
| tommy | kindofabuzz, you are trolling dude. pls stop it | 05:53 |
| nickrud | langleyo just uncheck one | 05:53 |
| powertool08 | general ?: i hear a buzzing noise under the keyboard of my laptop when i plug in the ac power cord. what causes this? | 05:53 |
| kindofabuzz | tommy: what? i'm telling you how to check | 05:54 |
| langleyo | nickrud: how? i see no option to do that | 05:54 |
| tommy | KRaZy_WaKa, how do I mount myr Win HDD? | 05:54 |
| kindofabuzz | jeeez some people just don't listen | 05:54 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | one moment trying to find where i did it | 05:54 |
| tonewhy | does any photographers here know of a program for linux which is similar to lightroom? | 05:54 |
| woli | how to reenable screelet's daemon tray? | 05:54 |
| tommy | kindofabuzz, stop it!! you are trolling and being an idiot! of course I already looked in nautilus. My HDD is not showing. so be silent unless u have a solution | 05:54 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: I don't use Rhthymbox, but you'll probably need to update your collection some how. If you use Picard then it's re-written the metadata and the files, despite their face names, should load properly in any music player. | 05:54 |
| nickrud | langleyo navigate to the admin menu, and uncheck the box in the right pane next to one of the printing thingo's | 05:54 |
| kindofabuzz | tommy: open up your file browser whatever it may be, and you should see it | 05:54 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: When i reinstall another Linux Distribution and use my old Collection in Amarok, all the tags are fine and in the place these has to be, but in Rythmbox it doesn't work..... | 05:54 |
| tommy | !ban kindofabuzz | 05:55 |

| kindofabuzz | tommy: dude you need to calm down | 05:55 |
| abramson | nickrud: im lost, so far ive opened the script, can u lead me step by step on wat i need 2 do? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | tommy kindofabuzz both calm down, please | 05:55 |
| mbi0 | hellow having a bit of trouble with ubuntu 8.04 64 bit version, problem its with wireless card can any one help me with it ? | 05:55 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah you could open your file browser and do it that way... the Win HDD should show up, double-click it and enter your password when prompted | 05:55 |
| langleyo | nickrud: i would...but theres nothing to uncheck/select...just the tab and options to add it to desktop/panel | 05:56 |
| tonewhy | any photographers in here that use RAW program? | 05:56 |
| dmsuperman | !msgthebot | tommy | 05:56 |
| ubottu | tommy: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 05:56 |
| nickrud | abramson ok, now if you look towards the bottom you'll see some stuff with title, kernel, etc. That's the stuff that boots | 05:56 |
| nickrud | langleyo right click the menu bar itself, and there's an option | 05:56 |
| nickrud | edit | 05:56 |
| abramson | nickrud: k, wat next? | 05:57 |
| mbi0 | wireless trouble with ubuntu 8.04 any one can help me ? | 05:57 |
| ArthurArchnix | Ok... I've tried removing my Trash folder, then recreating it, then rebooting. I still can't delete files. Ubuntu doesn't realize there is no Trash. | 05:57 |
| nickrud | abramson ok, now you need to find the equivalent file for suse on the external | 05:57 |
| ArthurArchnix | Or rather, Ubuntu thinks there is no trash. | 05:57 |
| nickrud | abramson it would be in /boot/grub/grub.conf , iirc | 05:57 |
| abramson | wat (rufly) wuld it b called? | 05:58 |
| nickrud | abramson with /boot in this case being on a partition on the external drive | 05:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | tommy: there is a place in the System menu where you can set it so your second hard drive shows up in the Places menu and all you have to do is click there and don't have to bother with entering your password every time you mount the volume | 05:58 |
| Y | CLEARviewF: Hmmm... Try uninstalling RB and reinstalling it is all I can suggest. | 05:58 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa tommy left | 05:58 |
| vnonnenmacher | hi there folks | 05:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol thanx nick | 05:58 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | how is it, that after apparently successfully completing a i386 8.04 Server install that SAW, and PARTITIONED, and INSTALLED to a 6-drive RAID, when i reboot from the installer, the systen doesn't come up... ?? | 05:58 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | was there a 6.06/1 SERVER iso ?? | 05:58 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa I gotta watch all those part/join stuff, you're lucky ;) | 05:59 |
| lukifer_etyrnal | was there a 6.06/1 SERVER i386 iso ?? | 05:59 |
| vnonnenmacher | someone can help me with my video card ? | 05:59 |
| langleyo | nickrud: i go to system-admin-printing-right click....only optionsavailable are to add launcher to desktop, panel or add drawer/menu to panel...no removal facilities shown at all..this is confusing me | 05:59 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | part/join stuff? ok people leaving and joing i guess you mean? guess that makes you Mod lol | 05:59 |
| xodiak | vnonnenmacher: some good folks here, but they need to know what kind of card you got. | 05:59 |
| nickrud | lukifer_etyrnal iirc you need a /boot partition outside of the raid, but #ubuntu-server probably has more knowing people | 06:00 |
| langleyo | nickrud: im on hardy heron btw | 06:00 |
| nickrud | langleyo no, without opening any menu, right click right on top of 'Applications' | 06:00 |
| xodiak | vnonnenmacher: And what version of ubuntu you are on | 06:00 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: you mean, i do: sudo apt-get remove --purge rythmbox* ? | 06:00 |
| langleyo | nickrud: aha...i see it .... | 06:01 |
| mbi0 | any one knows how to solve wireless cards driver problems ? | 06:01 |
| abramson | nickrud: im rlly stuck, is ther anytin online that describes it? | 06:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | can someone run this command for me and tell me what the output is: cd ~/.local/share && ls -l | 06:01 |
| nickrud | langleyo and now you're gonna see all the stuff the dev's didn't think you needed to se ;) | 06:01 |
| nickrud | abramson not really. do you remember what partition you put suse on on the external? | 06:02 |
| legend2440 | tonewhy: http://linuxmini.blogspot.com/2008/03/adobe-lightroom-alternative-picasa-for.html | 06:02 |
| nickrud | abramson or, not easily understood | 06:02 |
| ariqs | i used to have a shortcut to load a windows game with wine that worked fine. I didn't change the shortcut and now it won't work, any ideas? | 06:02 |
| langleyo | nickrud: i got it sorted now....great....though a little confusing :) | 06:02 |
| langleyo | nickrud: thanks dude | 06:02 |
| abramson | nickrud: #3 | 06:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | specifically, I just need the file permissions of the Trash folder | 06:02 |
| ariqs | there was an error creating the child process for this terminal | 06:02 |
| === elad is now known as Elad3 | ||
| === Elad3 is now known as Elad123 | ||
| ariqs | "wine /media/disk/Program Files/PokerStars/PokerStars.exe" | 06:03 |
| nickrud | abramson ok, do you see the partition in the places menu? | 06:03 |
| woli | my screenlets won't work | 06:03 |
| ariqs | you know what's funny? I could join a windows channel with 1/100th the number of people in it, but I am far more likely to get help ;P | 06:04 |
| abramson | nickrud: no, must i be hooked up 2 the drive to see it? | 06:04 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: eythmbox has an IRC channel? | 06:04 |
| nickrud | abramson yes | 06:04 |
| abramson | o.... | 06:04 |
| abramson | my bad, srry | 06:04 |
| nickrud | hahahahhahahhahahaaahhaahahhaha | 06:04 |
| CLEARviewF | Y: i am installing Picard using the repo for Ubuntu | 06:05 |
| langleyo | nickrud: for what its worth, in my opinion i think that option would have been better put under system tab as its to do with altering stuff under the hood so to speak...thanks for your help :) | 06:05 |
| abramson | lol srry man, ill hook up ite now | 06:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | Ok... my problem was it was owned by root. But now I'm back to my first problem. I have four files I can see but can't remove from Trash. There not in there. They must be in some kind of trash cache limbo. | 06:05 |
| nickrud | langleyo yeah, it could be more obvious. Take it as a reminder that nearly everything you can't find anywhere else is probably under right click :) | 06:05 |
| langleyo | nickrud: noted | 06:06 |
| muzy | hi @ all, i've a question. I've installed ubuntu but i can't install some (okay better,most) packages. What it the problem? | 06:06 |
| nickrud | ArthurArchnix try doing find / -iname Trash , see if there's a trash somewhere else | 06:06 |
| ariqs | muzy: you're going to have to elaborate | 06:06 |
| langleyo | muzy: did you upgrade? | 06:06 |
| muzy | no | 06:07 |
| nickrud | !gutsysources | muzy (works for hardy as well) | 06:07 |
| ubottu | muzy (works for hardy as well): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 06:07 |
| mattrw89 | #ardour | 06:07 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ArthurArchnix: they are probably in your user trash | 06:07 |
| Intelligitimate | The fglrx-control killed me motherboard. | 06:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | cd /data | 06:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | ls | 06:07 |
| nickrud | Intelligitimate you're sure? That totally sucks | 06:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | heh... oops. wrong window | 06:08 |
| Intelligitimate | I can't say I've ever had software destroy my motherboard before. | 06:08 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ArthurArchnix: you may have to show hidden files to find it | 06:08 |
| Intelligitimate | I usually have to solder crap to do that. | 06:08 |
| MrObvious | Dang I am nervous. I'm sorry I am off topic but we are about to get a tornado. It's about 5 minutes SW of town (Hutchinson, KS). I hope we stay alive. | 06:08 |
| bobby | How can I make another user a sudoer? | 06:08 |
| MrObvious | We never get tornadoes. | 06:08 |
| nickrud | Intelligitimate heh. did that on my first computer, had to assemble it. | 06:08 |
| Intelligitimate | I made a thread on the forums, warning anyone else googling it. | 06:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | Yeah KRaZy_WaKa I already removed the user trash folder then recreated it. There are certainly no files in my trash, but four appear to be there anyway when I open it. And my trash icon is always showing full. | 06:09 |
| Intelligitimate | The card worked great too...I just had to try and get the S-Video working... | 06:09 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ArthurArchnix: I couldnt honestly point you in the right direction i have stumbled on it manually browsing through folders and can never find it when i want to lol | 06:09 |
| nickrud | had to order another cpu. Reminder to self: destatic after walking across acrylic carpet | 06:09 |
| muzy | I've installed the newest ubuntu dvd. Now everything get started, but when i click on "add new software" i see a new widow. Now when i wanna click on any software, the programm says: this is not for your architechture i386 | 06:09 |
| Intelligitimate | Why couldn't I just leave the S-Video alone... | 06:09 |
| TechieDragon | Still working with respect to my SSH connection to my server. I am able to establish my connection without issue. At the command line; arrow keys give me a ^[[ resoponse; and the tab key does not auto-complete. | 06:09 |
| xodiak | someone please tell me what this means.. "same version is available in a software channel" "You are recommended to install the software from the channel instead" | 06:09 |
| TechieDragon | Is there anything I need to configure on the server side ? | 06:09 |
| nickrud | xodiak usually means you should look for it in system->admin->synaptic | 06:10 |
| TechieDragon | I am establishing my ssh connection with Putty on a windows vista machine | 06:10 |
| xtriz0x | http://unsecure-os.net | 06:10 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ArthurArchnix: then your problem is out of my scope as i am a relatively new ubuntu user myself | 06:10 |
| xodiak | nickrud: okay thanks. | 06:10 |
| clovely | How do I add Ubuntu to a windows workgroup? | 06:10 |
| nickrud | xtriz0x might be a useful site, but please don't advertise in this channel | 06:11 |
| mdh76 | clovely, install and configure samba | 06:11 |
| clovely | alright, thanks | 06:11 |
| langleyo | clovely: you on hardy heron? | 06:11 |
| clovely | yeah, just downloaded it | 06:11 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | what is the difference between Ubuntu CD from Canonical, a downloaded and burnt CD ISO, and Ubuntu DVD? | 06:11 |
| TeslaTony | whois xtriz0x | 06:12 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa between the first two, nothing. DVD, I've never downloaded | 06:12 |
| legend2440 | ArthurArchnix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=344220 | 06:12 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i'm sure there is no difference between dl'd and burnt ISO and canonical | 06:12 |
| langleyo | clovely: kkk........when you click on places.....network....whats it show? | 06:12 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | TechieDragon: check your TERM type | 06:12 |
| nickrud | abramson you still here? | 06:12 |
| abramson | yes | 06:13 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | TechieDragon: keyboard emulation, PuTTY options... have you changed anything in PuTTY's settings? | 06:13 |
| clovely | shows Windows network, but if I try to access the workgroup, it won't let me connect to the computers | 06:13 |
| abramson | i want the menu from the internal drive, rite? | 06:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickrud: Your command turned up a lot of results in proc which I ignored, and it found three lost and found folder which I removed, but no joy. The other stuff that turned around isn't too promising. Except maybe /var/cache/system-tools-backends/backup which I can't open and look in. | 06:13 |
| nickrud | abramson after you plugged in the external, do you see it in places? | 06:13 |
| apelles | newbe here, hello all | 06:13 |
| Kira | Here is something that I recently realised that I don't understand about Linux permissions... | 06:13 |
| abramson | yup | 06:13 |
| xodiak | hellow fellow newbie | 06:13 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | *waves at apelles* | 06:13 |
| TechieDragon | mib_4u9qp3 > term type on my Putty or term type on the server? | 06:13 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i've been wondering since i started using Ubuntu if maybe the DVD had extras on it like the packages you get from Synaptic or something | 06:14 |
| Kira | Why do PHP scripts need to be marked as executable? | 06:14 |
| nickrud | abramson ok, open that partitition, navigate to boot/grub, and you should see grub.conf | 06:14 |
| apelles | hi xodiak | 06:14 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | TechieDragon: both--you'll want to make sure PuTTY sends the right keys and the server reads the right keys | 06:14 |
| Kira | I thought to myself "wtf? they are not even binaries." | 06:14 |
| Ahadiel | Kira, They don't, you could always do php <scriptname> | 06:14 |
| TechieDragon | mib_4u9qp3 > yes I have tried several different options; only because it didn't work to begin with | 06:14 |
| langleyo | clovely: ok.....lemme think a mo | 06:14 |
| nickrud | Kira because otherwise they won't run. That's how unix/linux knows it's executable at all | 06:14 |
| clovely | ok | 06:14 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | TechieDragon: What do you get if you echo $TERM | 06:14 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | however i can't find any info on possible differences between CD and DVD anywhere | 06:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | legend2440: Thanks. i've restarted x a few times. But since I've tried some new things since then I'll give it another go. I'm running out of ideas. Back in a sec. | 06:14 |
| nickrud | without calling php ;) | 06:15 |
| abramson | nickrud: it says thers no app for its filetype (its a .lst) | 06:15 |
| nickrud | dang, I need to keep up the leave | 06:15 |
| Kira | nickrud: exactly my concern | 06:15 |
| apelles | would like to set up internet server, can any one help? | 06:15 |
| nickrud | abramson right click, select open with | 06:15 |
| TechieDragon | xterm not found | 06:15 |
| Kira | i always thought that the PHP engine only needed to read the scripts. | 06:15 |
| nickrud | Kira it's like with bash scripts, the same idea. Or any executable. | 06:16 |
| abramson | k..., wat app | 06:16 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | how can i get my DVD's to play on Ubuntu? when i was running gutsy i used automatix to get the win32 dll codecs and a bunch of other stuff | 06:16 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | TechieDragon: what shell do you use? | 06:16 |
| nickrud | abramson gedit | 06:16 |
| langleyo | clovely: sounds like the samba needs setting up and configging..lemme see if i have a bookmarked page for setting up with windows net group | 06:16 |
| clovely | alright | 06:16 |
| tonyyarusso | !automatix | KRaZy_WaKa | 06:16 |
| ubottu | KRaZy_WaKa: 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 » | 06:16 |
| Kira | nickrud: ya, that's what got me even more confused afterwards | 06:16 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | now i regret taking the easy way out bcuz automatix no longer supports ubuntu | 06:16 |
| Beatbreaker | hey i've got a ton of problems | 06:16 |
| Beatbreaker | I'm stuck in the terminal after updating form FF to GG | 06:17 |
| TechieDragon | Ok... now this is really weird. | 06:17 |
| Kira | I realised afterwards that I should have asked the same question about shell scripts much earlier. | 06:17 |
| nickrud | Kira marking it as executable lets bash know to look at the first line of the file to know what to run. #!/bin/bash, or /usr/bin/php, or perl, or whatever | 06:17 |
| donny | hello everyone | 06:17 |
| abramson | wat u mean nickrud? | 06:17 |
| Beatbreaker | my Nvidia drivers broke, now when i'm trying to update i'm getting tons of "COuld not resolve" errors | 06:17 |
| TechieDragon | If I log in with one user; I can use the arrow keys. But the other one I can't | 06:17 |
| renga | hi, I have a delay when I press logout, someone can help me with that problem? | 06:17 |
| nickrud | abramson gedit is the app to open it with | 06:17 |
| Beatbreaker | can anyone helsp | 06:17 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | thanx for cueing the bot tony but i had already planned on not using automatix after upgrading to hardy anyway | 06:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | I'm back. Same status. Trash works fine, it just shows files that aren't really there. Icons shows full too. I've tried (1) Removing & recreating trash folder. (2) Removing all lost+found directories. (3) Restarting X. | 06:17 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | darnit, now X isn't listening to my mouse OR my touchscreen | 06:17 |
| tonyyarusso | KRaZy_WaKa: righto | 06:18 |
| abramson | thers no app called that... | 06:18 |
| tonyyarusso | !dvd | KRaZy_WaKa then? | 06:18 |
| ubottu | KRaZy_WaKa then?: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 06:18 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i just never learned the right way and now i regret taking the easy way out lol | 06:18 |
| donny | anyone have any suggestions for getting broadcom wireless cards to work with hardy? | 06:18 |
| renga | donny | 06:18 |
| nickrud | abramson there is, maybe it's just not in the list. right click, select properties, then the open with tab. Add gedit to the list | 06:18 |
| renga | wich model | 06:18 |
| TechieDragon | so is that an issue with the groups? | 06:18 |
| Beatbreaker | I cannot update using "sudo apt-get update | 06:19 |
| Kira | nickrud: doesn't it make the whole permission thing rather arbitrary? In fact, I could modify bash to just look for read permission or, to make it even more non-sensical, write permission. | 06:19 |
| kindofabuzz | donny: connect to the router via ethernet, check the bcm in restricted drives | 06:19 |
| tmapj | hey guys is there a webdesign channel on here? | 06:19 |
| renga | donny, with lspci -v u can see that | 06:19 |
| TechieDragon | One user is a normal user; not part of the sudo users; the other is a "root" user | 06:19 |
| langleyo | clovely: try this readthru.....or see if theres an official one on ubuntu forums..... http://samba.netfirms.com/sambconf.htm | 06:19 |
| nickrud | Kira if you like to be non-standard, yes. But it makes as much (or more) as executing based on an extension | 06:19 |
| Rat409 | donny: i had to use ndiswrapper bcm94311 rev 02 | 06:19 |
| arooni-mobile | i have ubuntu hardy running on a lenovo t61... and tried to hook up a microsoft wireless notemook presenter mouse 8000 (bluetooth connection)... ideas on how to get them to work in ubuntu? | 06:19 |
| clovely | I will give it a shot, thanks a lot langleyo | 06:20 |
| donny | I have the broadcom bcm4318 | 06:20 |
| nickrud | Kira conventions is exactly that, something that everyone uses | 06:20 |
| langleyo | clovely: its a little more complicated than windows but once its set up its quite easy to manage | 06:20 |
| donny | I tried using ndisgtk to use the wireless drivers, but it doesn't seem to make a difference | 06:20 |
| oc80z | i need a tutorial on how to install the TUN device. i dont believe its installed on my kernel, i have not installed the KERNEL SOURCES :S i need it for OpenVPN | 06:20 |
| renga | donny, aptitude install bcm43xx | 06:20 |
| abramson | nickrud: closest i c is text edit | 06:20 |
| tmapj | hey guys is there a webdesign channel on here? | 06:20 |
| langleyo | clovely: first u gotta get samba on there lol | 06:21 |
| nickrud | abramson ah, text editor is gedit. Sorry | 06:21 |
| donny | renga, what's aptitude? | 06:21 |
| oc80z | yeah tmapj #gimp | 06:21 |
| clovely | langleyo: I figured out Vista, this should be a little smoother:P | 06:21 |
| kindofabuzz | tmapj: search the channels | 06:21 |
| oc80z | tmapj, try #gimp and #html and do /list | 06:21 |
| renga | donny, in synaptic | 06:21 |
| oc80z | donny, man aptitude | 06:21 |
| renga | donny, search for bcm43xx-fwcutter | 06:21 |
| Beatbreaker | hello? | 06:21 |
| langleyo | clovely: its fairly straightforward.....just take your time | 06:21 |
| oc80z | donny: are you installing ubuntu on power pc? | 06:21 |
| nickrud | abramson gedit is the name of the app, gnome tries to use human language. Sometimes it obfuscates rather than helps | 06:21 |
| tmapj | oc80z so what do i type in? | 06:21 |
| donny | oc80z: no | 06:21 |
| oc80z | tmapj, type: /list | 06:22 |
| clovely | langleyo: alright, will do and will come back if I get completely lost | 06:22 |
| renga | donny, it will ask u if u want to download the firmware, say yes to that | 06:22 |
| tmapj | nothing happens | 06:22 |
| Kira | nickrud: I know. I'm just surprised this question has escaped me for so long. I always thought that the whole permission thing is covered by some strict interpretation by the kernel and not in an arbitrary way by other executables. | 06:22 |
| * oc80z needs a tutorial on installing kernel source, and install TUN device. | 06:22 | |
| Beatbreaker | I cannot update using "sudo apt-get update" I get alot of messages saying Could not resolve .....(server) | 06:22 |
| Beatbreaker | HELP | 06:22 |
| langleyo | clovely: i'm not an official here, but i had to do this myself | 06:22 |
| abramson | nickrud: it says hav insufficients privs, but im an admin... | 06:22 |
| tmapj | i thought gimp was an image editor | 06:22 |
| donny | renga: I already have fwcutter, do I need to reinstall it? | 06:23 |

| langleyo | clovely: if i can do it, so can anyone.......if you find its already installed, you might be able to just enable filesharing or something | 06:24 |
| renga | donny, u need to have the firmware of the broadcom. | 06:24 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok that didnt work thought maybe it would bring up a link | 06:24 |

| abramson | that is the message... | 06:29 |
| Br0k3 | what kind of tablet? | 06:29 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker you'd need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list . if you have lines like us.archive.ubuntu.com, remove the 'us.' in all lines, then sudo apt-get update | 06:29 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, whats up? | 06:29 |
| Beatbreaker | apelles - i don't know what youre saying - i just updated from FF to GG, but very badly, it busted my Nvidia driver, now i can't update properley | 06:29 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: do you recommend making changes the long way through terminal or are the GUI's provided by Ubuntu in the menu just as good? | 06:32 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN i tried that | 06:32 |
| abramson | nickrud: k, got it | 06:33 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker I wanna be sure you're resolving anything | 06:33 |
| TeslaTony | moDumass: Compiz has since replaced xgl | 06:33 |

| Br0k3 | theFATMAN an hp tx2000z | 06:33 |
| Beatbreaker | apelles - fiesty faun, gutsy gibbon | 06:33 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa I use the gui cuz I'm lazy, but Beatbreaker says he's at a terminal. I assume a server | 06:33 |
| moDumass | <TeslaTony> yeh this is hte strange thing, im using compiz fusion too | 06:33 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, that is why, that tutorial (if u followed it) is for wacom tablets | 06:33 |
| abramson | nick wat next? | 06:34 |
| gnuskool | nickrud: terminal application | 06:34 |
| nickrud | abramson ok, in the file manager window, right click the background and select open terminal | 06:34 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - what do you mean ping google.com? in the command prompt? | 06:34 |
| moDumass | so do i uninstall xserver-xgl | 06:34 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker yep | 06:34 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol ok i use the GUI as well just wondering if there was much difference as far as "issues" | 06:34 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN well i tried all the ones i could on forums still nothing... | 06:34 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, I can't help with HP, sorry bro+good luck | 06:34 |

| moDumass | <TeslaTony> if I do uninstall xserver-xgl should i replace it with something else? | 06:34 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN thanks anyways | 06:34 |

| apelles | Beatbreaker. All right. I see. | 06:34 |

| kindofabuzz | is that the wine rc2 in the updates, it doesn't give me a description | 06:35 |

| donny | okay | 06:35 |
| nickrud | abramson open the file browser to the right partition, then in the file manager window right click and select open in terminal | 06:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickrud: There were four trash folders on a separate partition named .Trash-001 Trash-1000 and so on. That's where the files were located. I removed those folders and bam. Bob's my uncle. I couldn't find it with my locate commands because I've excluded that partition from my updatedb. I don't think it showed up on the command you gave me "find / -iname Trash" for perhaps the same reason. | 06:35 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | HP's linux support sux as far as i could find | 06:35 |
| arooni-mobile | langleyo, but hcitool doesnt reslut hin anything :( | 06:35 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, do they offer Linux support? | 06:35 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud, ok so i might try that and see what happenes, i'm pretty sure i am resolving but i'll give it a shot | 06:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickrud: Thanks for the help though. | 06:35 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN i dont know | 06:36 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - is there any other steps i can take while i go there? | 06:36 |
| nickrud | ArthurArchnix that should have found it, but doh!! .Trash should have been the searcht term | 06:36 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, how strong is ur google fu? lol | 06:36 |
| langleyo | arooni-mobile: try the other article i pasted above | 06:36 |
| moDumass | <TeslaTony> thanks, i tend to break ubuntu lots | 06:36 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | HP only provides linux for business, and ubuntu wasnt in there | 06:36 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, that is the way to go, then. :.) | 06:37 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN i dont know i tried searching all around for a tutorial couldnt find one to calibrate it | 06:37 |
| TeslaTony | moDumass: Doesn't look like you need to install anything else, but it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion | 06:37 |
| arooni-mobile | langleyo, but both say to use hcitool; something that doesnt work when i type it | 06:37 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker if you don't resolve, then you would need to add some nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf , like nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx | 06:37 |

| Beatbreaker | i'll come back soon | 06:38 |

| nickrud | abramson yes | 06:39 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker an excellent idea :) | 06:39 |

| theFATMAN | Br0k3, have you tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=708726 | 06:40 |
| kindofabuzz | gstreamer needs gapless | 06:40 |
| TechieDragon | question - I notice in the root-user directory; the files such as .profie .bash_src etc do not exist in the other user's directory | 06:40 |
| Dr_willis | !ext3 | arab-boy | 06:40 |
| ubottu | arab-boy: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 06:40 |
| renga | donny, still with ploblems? | 06:40 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: read only (don't need write)? | 06:40 |
| donny | renga: it didn't really seem to do anything | 06:40 |
| TechieDragon | are those suppose to be in the other directory? | 06:40 |
| arab-boy | Dr_willis: thanks | 06:40 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN yes i tried running all that it gets my wacom running but doesnt calibrate it | 06:40 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: what do u mean? :) | 06:41 |
| moDumass | thanks teslatony, fixed | 06:41 |
| donny | renga: should it have given me some kind of message after fwcutter did its thing? | 06:41 |
| TeslaTony | moDumass: Sweet. Have any trouble? | 06:41 |
| coil | yay i got compiz working | 06:41 |
| bombuxp | you want to view your files but not write to them? | 06:41 |
| moDumass | um, another question though, my movie player is fullscreen or nothing at all | 06:41 |
| coil | im so uber leet | 06:41 |
| moDumass | any ideas? | 06:41 |
| absnt | Why can I not scroll with the mousewheel in gnome term? | 06:41 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | how do i ditch gstreamer and install xine? i'm not sure what to get rid of and what to install | 06:41 |
| Smoke_Cigs | are there any dreamweaver clones persay...or is bluefish as close as it gets to running dw in wine? | 06:41 |
| vegombrei | hi, is there a world time application for ubuntu ? | 06:41 |
| nickrud | abramson what you are doing there is stopping and restarting the file browser, whose real name is nautilus ;) | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | arab-boy, i suggest if you use those tools to 'unmount/disable' the linux drives when done with them under windows.. if Windows crashes - it CAN mess up the linux files. Plus any files you copy TO the linux drives will be owned by root. which can cause issues. | 06:41 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3 you may have to edit the configuration file | 06:41 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: that would be fine, read and write into my files, but how? please? :) | 06:41 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i know how to use synaptic and add/remove | 06:41 |
| nickrud | Smoke_Cigs kompozer is as close as it gets as far as I know | 06:41 |
| Br0k3 | theFATMAN the xorg yes | 06:42 |
| abramson | so wat i do wen this window pops up from alt + f2 | 06:42 |
| Smoke_Cigs | thanks nickrud that is one i havent tried yet | 06:42 |
| theFATMAN | Br0k3, yes...u tried it, huh | 06:42 |
| Smoke_Cigs | i just try to stay away from kde stuff. but sometimes you just gotta :) | 06:42 |
| kindofabuzz | Smoke_Cigs: i'm the same way | 06:42 |
| moDumass | TeslaTony, removeing xserver-xgl hasnt caused any issues, cant leave fullscreen in movie player though | 06:42 |
| kindofabuzz | but i do love Kvirc | 06:42 |
| nickrud | abramson type killall nautilus . That will restart the file browser (whose real name is nautilus) and should force it to pick up the new right click option | 06:42 |
| vegombrei | hi, is there a world time application for ubuntu ? | 06:42 |
| Smoke_Cigs | i like gnome and gnome based apps....other than that its fluxbox all the way | 06:43 |
| moDumass | TeslaTony, but that was the problem that lead me to the themes problem | 06:43 |
| renga | donny, yes , something about downloading from ..berlios... | 06:43 |
| moDumass | TeslaTony, so themes "resolved" | 06:43 |
| donny | renga: hmm.. I didn't get anything from it | 06:43 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: I'm not sure if there is any ways of writing without losing permissions, but if you want to just view there is Linux Reader by diskinternals. (assuming you're using ext3) | 06:43 |
| moDumass | TeslaTony, movie player fullscreen "unresolved" its random, im googling as we speak | 06:43 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: ive seen a worldtime desklet out there some where, you'll have to dig around cant remember where i got it some time ago | 06:43 |
| TechieDragon | what files are suppose to be in the user's home directory | 06:43 |
| tonewhy | hi can someone answer this? can Wine run photoshop cs3 or lightroom? i just installed lightroom and used it on Wine and it doesn't run properly. | 06:44 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: there is a driver for ext3 but it messes up the permissions | 06:44 |
| nickrud | TechieDragon all your config files, starting with . so they are hidden | 06:44 |
| vegombrei | gnuskool: what is desklet ? | 06:44 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: am i going to loose the permissions even if i got my windows repaired? | 06:44 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: widget | 06:44 |
| Smoke_Cigs | put your windows and linux on completly different drives | 06:45 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: a small application that runs on the desktop | 06:45 |
| abramson | nickrud: i opened grub in terminal, wat next | 06:45 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: I missed part of the earlier conversation. please explain. Are you trying to work with linux files out of windows or the other way around? | 06:45 |
| TechieDragon | so if the . files are not in one of the user's directory; I should copy them into htat directory | 06:45 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: try this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574765 | 06:45 |
| TechieDragon | ok... | 06:45 |
| vegombrei | gnuskool: wow .. how do i install widgets ? | 06:45 |
| nickrud | abramson now you can type gksu gedit menu.lst or grub.conf , and see the config that suse made | 06:46 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: yes, view my linux files from windows environment. I know how to read my windows ( Documents) from hardy | 06:46 |
| tonewhy | lang: thanx | 06:46 |
| Smoke_Cigs | windows dont like the ext systems | 06:46 |
| moDumass | so essentially cant view movie player windowed, any ideas? | 06:46 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: what did you mean even if you get your windows repaired? | 06:46 |
| nickrud | arab-boy explore2s is useful and safe (read only) | 06:47 |
| Smoke_Cigs | you dont repair windows you replace lol :) | 06:47 |
| nickrud | erm, explore2fs that is | 06:47 |
| abramson | nickrud: it opened it, so now... | 06:47 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: the programme is called gdesklet, install that | 06:47 |
| theFATMAN | lol | 06:47 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | how do i ditch gstreamer and install xine for Totem? i'm not sure what to get rid of and what to install... i know how to use synaptic and add/remove | 06:47 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: check these out, http://www.gdesklets.de/index.php?q=desklet/browse/alphabetical/ | 06:47 |

| tanlaan | I need help with my compaq presario f572us running 8.04 and it gives me a black screen when closing and when coming back from suspend. I am also having problems with firefox and many programs randomly stalling. But first and foremost the suspend issue is bad | 06:47 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: yaya | 06:47 |
| nickrud | abramson now, you look for the set of lines, starting with title, that boot your suse. In fact, why don't you copy and paste that file to paste.ubuntu.com so I can see it? | 06:48 |
| bombuxp | linux reader is also good for read only, but I think he might want write access | 06:48 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: I mean, if my Windows crashes, this will mess up with my files.. right? but repairing windows is going to fix the issue again? am I right. sorry I am kinda new into this. | 06:48 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9233 | 06:48 |

| Smoke_Cigs | just have a ntfs drive set aside for your mutual files | 06:48 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, sudo apt-get remove --purge gstreamer | 06:48 |

| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa install totem-xine | 06:48 |
| mhz128 | hello world | 06:48 |
| mhz128 | How do I install KDE in Gnome? | 06:48 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | msshams: put it in your bashrc | 06:48 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: I meant that if you use the windows ext2/ext3 driver you lose the access permissions on the linux files you modify. (such as read only to all but root) | 06:49 |
| nickrud | mhz128 sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 06:49 |
| vegombrei | gnuskool: dude it says E: Couldn't find package gdesklet | 06:49 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | mhz128: install kubuntu-desktop in synaptic | 06:49 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: ah, ok ok | 06:49 |
| tonewhy | Lang: ya the guy is right, i couldn't create a database. so it doesn't work i guess. i'll have to try lightzone | 06:49 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: if you just want to look, but not change, explore2fs or linux reader can help. | 06:49 |
| msshams | mib_4u9qp3: /etc/bash.bashrc ? | 06:49 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: last post i put up mentions a workaround? | 06:49 |
| tritium | vegombrei: wrong package name | 06:49 |
| Oak_ | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and am having a hell of a time getting it to find the network. Can anyone help me? | 06:49 |
| nickrud | bombuxp how does linux reader compare to explore2fs, I'd never heard of it | 06:49 |
| Smoke_Cigs | oak_ did u try to manually enter the network name? | 06:50 |
| arab-boy | do you mean I should get explore2fs in windows? | 06:50 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: through synaptic or add/remove? and will that replace gstreamer with xine? | 06:50 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: check this out: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-bugs/2007-May/057364.html | 06:50 |
| abramson | nickrud:pasted it under username abramson | 06:50 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: read here http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Enhance_your_Ubuntu_Desktop_with_gDesklets | 06:50 |
| bombuxp | not sure, I'll look it up. It's not explorer integrated. Its a stand alone program which looks kinda like explorer | 06:50 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa yes, it will replace the totem-gstreamer version with totem-xine. All the app usage is the same, you just have a different backend. | 06:50 |
| Oak_ | Smoke I am not sure what to enter for the name | 06:51 |
| mib_4u9qp3 | msshams: ~/.bashrc | 06:51 |
| gnuskool | vegombrei: there are heaps of sites out there that have desklets, google em | 06:51 |
| tonewhy | lang: thanx i'll try that right now | 06:51 |
| abramson | nick, its #12460 | 06:51 |
| Smoke_Cigs | do you know your network name? | 06:51 |
| Oak_ | Smoke is there another channel I could talk to you in with less people? | 06:51 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | theFATMAN: thanx for your input as well but as a recent ubuntu convert terminal kinda freaks me out lol | 06:51 |
| Smoke_Cigs | even if it finds the network auto you need to know what network u r connecting to | 06:51 |
| Smoke_Cigs | or even the PW is it pass protected | 06:51 |
| vegombrei | gnuskool: yes but whats the package name so i can install ?? | 06:51 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, naw mate, it is easy and fast as all get out | 06:51 |
| Oak_ | well I am connected to it now | 06:51 |
| Oak_ | so I must be able to figure it out somehow fairl easily | 06:52 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - ok so i'm not even on the net in the terminal | 06:52 |
| Smoke_Cigs | is it wifi or ether? | 06:52 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: readup doesnt sound too promising :( | 06:52 |
| vegombrei | gnuskool: dont bother .. the url you gave me just explained it | 06:52 |
| Oak_ | I am using a syslink router | 06:52 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, and it can help you more than the package mgr | 06:52 |
| nickrud | abramson, that's the wrnong file : | 06:52 |
| Smoke_Cigs | doesnt answer my question are u wireless or wired? | 06:52 |
| Oak_ | linksys | 06:52 |
| mhz128 | nickrud: cool, will that install the latest version of KDE (4)? | 06:52 |
| Smoke_Cigs | the comp u are on now | 06:52 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker ok, you need to set up your net. Do you have dhcp in windows? | 06:52 |
| abramson | ???????? wat u mean??????? | 06:52 |
| Oak_ | wired | 06:52 |
| djames | what's a good IDE for compiling C/C++ code? I need an IDE, so please don't waste time with 'vi with gcc'. Is Anjuta pretty good? | 06:52 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - i assumed the whole time that i was, there's not reason for me not to be | 06:53 |
| Beatbreaker | i'm wiered at the moment | 06:53 |
| nickrud | mhz128 no, that's the latest kde3. For 4, I'm not sure. Ask in #kubuntu | 06:53 |
| Beatbreaker | but i've got both options | 06:53 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker sure there is, it's not configured yet | 06:53 |
| Smoke_Cigs | you need to know your network name? | 06:53 |
| arab-boy | nickrud: explore2s is the tool which I have to install in windows to let me view my files ( with no changes ofcourse). right? | 06:53 |
| Dr_willis | !ide | 06:53 |
| ubottu | Factoid ide not found | 06:53 |
| nickrud | arab-boy yes, I've used it for a long time | 06:53 |
| Oak_ | yea I guess so I am not sure why it is not working | 06:53 |
| abramson | wich 1 u want then? | 06:53 |
| Smoke_Cigs | if its default linksys with no settings really changed then the network will be called 'linksys' | 06:53 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy & nickrud: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ (linux reader, stand alone program) or http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs (explore2fs, integrates into explorer) | 06:53 |
| Oak_ | ok | 06:53 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - ok so how do i get that done? | 06:53 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | theFATMAN: i'm just worried i'm gonna typo or something and screw my stuff up lol | 06:54 |
| arab-boy | nickrud: ok. now i get it thanks again. I appreciate your help :) | 06:54 |
| Smoke_Cigs | 9 times out of 10 that is what it will be | 06:54 |
| Smoke_Cigs | same with the ssid of the router if it has wifi also | 06:54 |
| nickrud | abramson in the boot/grub directory in the external suse partition, menu.lst or grub.conf | 06:54 |
| bombuxp | whoops, explore2fs isnt integrated | 06:54 |
| nickrud | arab-boy that looks like etc/init.d/hal | 06:54 |
| abramson | thats wat it is.... | 06:54 |
| tonewhy | lang: i still can't get it to work. i created a database in my personal folder and when i try to import a picture it doesn't show up. when i clikc import again, it crashes | 06:54 |
| arab-boy | bombuxp: hey thanks. lemmes have a look :) | 06:54 |
| nickrud | arab-boy sorry, abramson that last to arab-boy was meant for you | 06:54 |
| Oak_ | so go to network settings then static IP? | 06:54 |
| theFATMAN | LOL, naw mate, it isn't that easy to screw linux up, trust me. For example, just try: sudo apt-get update | 06:54 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: ugh...looks like the other software might be needed then | 06:55 |
| bombuxp | arab-boy: no problem | 06:55 |
| arab-boy | nickrud: nah it is ok ;) | 06:55 |
| Oak_ | or dhcp? | 06:55 |
| Smoke_Cigs | system-admin-network | 06:55 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - how do you reccommend that i get back online in the termianl? | 06:55 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: sorry dude, options all used up without major hacking/debug | 06:55 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker try adding auto eth0 <newline> iface eth0 inet dhcp to the file /etc/network/interfaces . Then run sudo ifup eth0 | 06:55 |
| tonewhy | lang: ya... have you had any luck with cs3 photoshop or do you just use linux ones | 06:55 |
| Smoke_Cigs | that should help u a little | 06:56 |
| Smoke_Cigs | cs3 doesnt work as well as cs2 in wine | 06:56 |
| gnuskool | Beatbreaker: no ping to google? | 06:56 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok i'll do the update as soon as synaptic is done installing totem-xine | 06:56 |
| Smoke_Cigs | but cs4 is around the corner also so y waste time on cs3 | 06:56 |
| Oak_ | from a terminal input? | 06:56 |
| tonewhy | smoke: ok thanx | 06:56 |
| Smoke_Cigs | no from your panel | 06:56 |
| moDumass | can anyone resize totem video player? if so how did you do it | 06:57 |
| Smoke_Cigs | System -> Administration -> Network | 06:57 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, you'll fall in love. :.) | 06:57 |
| Smoke_Cigs | Modumbas turn on window resize in compiz | 06:57 |
| TechieDragon | Ok... I understand now... the bash shell was not starting | 06:57 |
| bombuxp | anyone have any idea what could cause the network manager to break and stop working? (can't use it to turn off networks, acts like its working but doesn't do anything.) | 06:57 |
| Oak_ | ok I went there | 06:57 |
| donny | renga: should I have to do anything after getting fwcutter? | 06:57 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 try here | 06:57 |
| Oak_ | went to wired connection | 06:57 |
| Smoke_Cigs | then look at your dns settings etc, you will get your ip n such | 06:57 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - ok i'll give it a shot | 06:57 |
| Smoke_Cigs | or ifconfig in the term | 06:57 |
| donny | renga: woo! nevermind | 06:58 |
| donny | renga: works now, maybe | 06:58 |
| nickrud | Beatbreaker and <newline> means put it on the next line, just in case :) | 06:58 |
| Smoke_Cigs | also you can point your browser to 192.168.2.1 (or 192.168.1.1) which should be your router | 06:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok synaptic finished and in the about Totem is still says Totem with gstreamer | 06:58 |
| Smoke_Cigs | all your network info is on there also | 06:58 |
| Beatbreaker | nickrud - hehe ok thanks for being sure with me | 06:58 |
| Beatbreaker | see ya | 06:58 |
| renga | donny, it started working? | 06:58 |
| moDumass | Smoke_sigs you mean "resize window" yeh its enabled | 06:58 |
| tonewhy | lang: haah it looks prety bad for cs3. i'll just stick with gimp and similar i guess :D | 06:58 |
| moDumass | Smoke_sigs always has been | 06:58 |
| nickrud | abramson still looking for the right file? | 06:58 |
| langleyo | tonewhy: complain to adobe you want a linux version!!! :) | 06:58 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, did you purge gstreamer? | 06:58 |
| Smoke_Cigs | odd...works for me | 06:59 |
| tonewhy | lang: will do! | 06:59 |
| Smoke_Cigs | and i got a damn ati card lol | 06:59 |
| nickrud | tonewhy you can always install virtualbox and run cs3 in a virtual machine | 06:59 |
| camilla | Somebody here that can help me with mythtv? Can't get it to find any channels when I scan. works in windows... | 06:59 |

| langleyo | tonewhy: sorry, i'm outta ideas now | 06:59 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa try dpkg -l | 06:59 |
| smileboot | quick question. Is there a way to make my laptop hibernate when i close the lid if i have 2 users logged in? | 06:59 |
| ariqs | i'm trying to play this dvd with vlc and it won't play. any ideas? | 06:59 |
| tonewhy | lang: thanx for help | 07:00 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa erm, dpkg -l '*totem*' , and see which has ii at the beginning of the line | 07:00 |
| moDumass | Smoke_Sigs yeh this is a new problem | 07:00 |
| moDumass | no idea why though | 07:00 |
| moDumass | but its eating my brain | 07:00 |
| tonewhy | nick: thanks i'll look into that | 07:00 |
| Smoke_Cigs | check your video drivers...why i dunno...sometimes it helps....randomly i have to reinstall mine | 07:00 |
| camilla | Have bought a Hauppauge PVR-150 card. Works fine in Windows Vista. Get my channels. But MythTV can't find any channel when I scan. What am I doing wrong? I thought this should be simple. Am living in sweden and in windows is getting my channel by setting wintv to "cable". I have scanned all freqences twice without finding any channels | 07:00 |
| Smoke_Cigs | camilla - set it to pal | 07:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | theFATMAN: no i didnt purge gstreamer, i thought nickrud said it synaptic would replace gstreamer with xine | 07:01 |
| camilla | Smoke_Cigs, it's done | 07:01 |
| Smoke_Cigs | odd | 07:01 |
| nickrud | camilla you can try asking in #mythtv , they are usually nice | 07:01 |
| Smoke_Cigs | brb g2p | 07:01 |
| bombuxp | camilla: but it finds your card? | 07:01 |
| camilla | nickrud, already asked in #mythtv-users. Nobody is answering | 07:01 |
| Puh | hello | 07:01 |
| nickrud | camilla erm, #mythtv-users that is | 07:01 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, sudo apt-get remove --purge totem-xine | 07:01 |
| camilla | bombuxp, jep, without problem. dmesg and I see the card | 07:01 |
| Puh | i'm having trouble with subversion on hardy amd64 | 07:02 |
| moDumass | Smoke_Sigs the "leave fullscreen" button doesnt work | 07:02 |
| theFATMAN | then, sudo apt-get update | 07:02 |
| Puh | it seems to segfault immediately on startup | 07:02 |
| smileboot | quick question. Is there a way to make my laptop hibernate when i close the lid if i have 2 users logged in? | 07:02 |
| camilla | okay, this sucks... | 07:02 |
| bombuxp | camilla: you see anything when you try to view it? (like a channel) | 07:02 |
| Puh | puh@silverstone:~$ svn | 07:02 |
| Puh | Segmentation fault | 07:02 |
| tonewhy | just a quick simple question. in this forum how do i send someone one of those red messages? | 07:02 |
| nickrud | totem-xine conflicts with totem-gstreamer, you can't have both. Install one, the other get's removed | 07:02 |
| camilla | bombuxp, Yeah. Ants war | 07:02 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: ii is next to both | 07:02 |
| camilla | :-P | 07:02 |
| nickrud | or it did, why in the world did they change that? | 07:03 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok so i purge gstreamer and then i'll be good? | 07:03 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa yeah purge totem-gstreamer | 07:03 |
| theFATMAN | then, sudo apt-get update | 07:03 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa I just looked at the depends for totem-xine, and it no longer conflicts ;( | 07:03 |
| theFATMAN | then, sudo apt-get install totem-xine | 07:03 |
| Puh | http://puhi.iki.fi/files/svn-debug.txt | 07:04 |
| coil | yay i got compiz working | 07:04 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | so i can run both? would that benefit me at all? | 07:04 |
| Oak_ | alright so I set it ti dhcp which is what this computer says assigned by now I need to set the host name? | 07:04 |
| bombuxp | camilla: jump over to #mythtv and I'll try to help. | 07:04 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, I would not run both | 07:04 |
| theFATMAN | it is unnecessary | 07:05 |
| theFATMAN | and uses space on ur HDD for no reason | 07:05 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa I guess so, you can choose which with sudo update-alternatives --config totem now. Now I understand :) | 07:05 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | xine does everything gstreamer does but also supports menus correct? | 07:05 |
| theFATMAN | i beliee so, i always use vlc--no p's | 07:05 |
| === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious | ||
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa in earlier releases, yes. Exactly the diff in hardy I've not explored yet | 07:05 |
| nickrud | vlc is the best, true | 07:06 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | eh xine it is lol | 07:06 |
| Puh | could someone take a look at my subversion troubles? | 07:06 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i have VLC but don't quite understand it | 07:06 |
| Puh | it seems to crash in glibc code so i'm a bit puzzled | 07:06 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, like? | 07:06 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | can't get DVDs to play under VLC | 07:06 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | do fine with VCD files though | 07:07 |
| icqnumber | if i login via ssh using this string "shh -2 -N -f ...." how can i check later that connection, or logout safefy? | 07:07 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | cue or bin can't remember which | 07:07 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, hmmm i play dvd's no p, idk | 07:07 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, open your settings in vlc and it should be in there | 07:08 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | had totem playing dvds under gutsy but i used automatix to get the codecs of questionable legality | 07:08 |
| theFATMAN | lol | 07:08 |
| nickrud | oh, automatix. the configurator from hell | 07:08 |
| theFATMAN | lol | 07:09 |
| nickrud | abramson have you found the file? | 07:09 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | automatix doesnt support hardy and some of the stuff i got through it didnt work anyway so screw AM | 07:09 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | now i have to learn to do things the right way lol | 07:09 |
| theFATMAN | :.) | 07:09 |
| Frogzoo | any good font browsers for ubuntu?? | 07:09 |
| nickrud | there was one good thing about automatix, ubuntu had to make things easier to protect itself from automatix | 07:09 |
| enzo_ | hello! | 07:10 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | although the stuff from automatix that worked was great | 07:10 |
| theFATMAN | dont use questionable codecs, just convert | 07:10 |
| Oak_ | I will be back trying something out and only one connection | 07:10 |
| enzo_ | hello | 07:10 |
| enzo_ | ?? | 07:10 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | it's not files on the computer itself i have problems with they all work fine | 07:11 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | it's physical DVD discs | 07:11 |
| theFATMAN | enzo_whats up? | 07:11 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, oh | 07:11 |
| nickrud | Frogzoo gnome-font-viewer <font> , or you might try gnome-specimen | 07:11 |
| icqnumber | if i login via ssh using this string "shh -2 -N -f ...." how can i check later that connection, or logout safefy? | 07:11 |
| tony_ | hi just wondering which player can play a DVD disk containing a .VOB file | 07:12 |

| nickrud | !es | enzo (not chasing you out, just in case this is what you are looking for) | 07:15 |
| comodo | Totem cannot play this type of media (YouTube) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it | 07:15 |

| Oak__ | still not working | 07:17 |
| valentinno | xD | 07:17 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | must be nice lol | 07:17 |
| neil_d | I am having a problem with a device, it doesn't work after I turn the computer on, unless I unplug it and re-plug it back in :( Is there a command I can run that resets the USB system ? | 07:17 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok tried to purge gstreamer but it says it cant be found... ran dpkg -l '*totem*' and it says its there | 07:18 |
| valentinno | speaks Spanish | 07:18 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | do i have to apt-get update before i can purge gstreamer? | 07:18 |
| theFATMAN | did u purge gstreamer? sounds like u did | 07:18 |
| theFATMAN | no, not needed at this point | 07:19 |
| nickrud | !es | valentinno | 07:19 |
| ubottu | valentinno: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 07:19 |
| enzo | i don't speak a word of spanish nickrud :) i'm from france | 07:19 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | no i purged xine on accident now i tried to purge gstream before i reinstall xine | 07:19 |
| cypha | can someone tell me what this website is saying on the bottom about shutdown at the command prompt? http://tille.garrels.be/training/tldp/ch02.html#sect_02_01 | 07:19 |
| cypha | does that mean type "Shut down" at the CL? | 07:19 |
| nickrud | enzo heh. I was hoping there were no none underscored enzo's around ;) | 07:19 |
| valentinno | ok trank | 07:19 |
| cypha | so i can either type logout or shut down ? | 07:19 |
| binarymutant | is there a way to get wget to download multiple files at the same time with just one wget? | 07:20 |
| cypha | (where it talks about the power button) | 07:20 |
| deuryte | KRaZy_WaKa: sudo apt-get vlc | 07:20 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | already have VLC | 07:20 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i like the totem interface | 07:20 |
| deuryte | plays everything | 07:20 |
| nickrud | cypha logout in that context is logging out of a terminal session | 07:21 |
| cypha | k | 07:21 |
| cypha | so if i type logout at the terminal window, what will it do? | 07:22 |
| cypha | not log me out of ubuntu? | 07:22 |
| nickrud | cypha sudo halt stops the computer, sudo reboot reboots it. shutdown has a lot more options, like x minutes in the future, etc. man shutdown tells all | 07:22 |
| theFATMAN | ; | 07:22 |
| cypha | ahhh | 07:22 |
| cypha | very cool | 07:22 |
| cypha | thanks nickrud | 07:22 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok gonna try a DVD with VLC i think i understand it now | 07:23 |
| nickrud | cypha it won't do anything in a terminal window, it works in a console (clt-alt-f1 thru f6) | 07:23 |
| cypha | k | 07:23 |
| cypha | none of them will do anything in a terminal window? | 07:23 |
| cypha | (terminal window ?= xterm) | 07:23 |
| nickrud | cypha no, the halt, reboot and shutdown work anywhere. And yes, terminal window is any terminal in X | 07:24 |
| nickrud | cypha the 'no' was regarding logout in a terminal <window> | 07:24 |
| moDumass | totem cannot leave fullscreen | 07:24 |
| cypha | ohh, ok | 07:24 |
| cypha | thanks | 07:24 |
| moDumass | :) | 07:24 |
| nickrud | moDumass sounds like you have a permanent movie player now :) | 07:25 |
| amirman84 | can anyone tell me the best virtual machine software to use on ubuntu? | 07:25 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: ok it wants to open the bourne identity but won't play it | 07:25 |
| moDumass | any idea how to fix this, the "leave fullscreen" popup button doesnt work and yeh the "go fullscreen" option is greyed out | 07:25 |
| enzo | i've just understood the ! es nickrud thanks :) | 07:25 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | thats on VLC and totem says cant read from resource | 07:25 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa did you install libdvdcss2 ? | 07:25 |
| moDumass | nickrud, you are an Einstein on the modern era, its awesome, yet scary at the same time | 07:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | not sure lol... i did a massive codec session one day to try to get it to work lol... | 07:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | will check synaptic for it quick | 07:26 |
| nickrud | moDumass try looking up awe (abject terror is the first entry in moby thesaurus) | 07:27 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa not in synaptic, unless you have medibuntu in your sources | 07:27 |
| nickrud | !libdvdcss | KRaZy_WaKa | 07:27 |
| ubottu | KRaZy_WaKa: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 07:27 |
| moDumass | nickrud, i tried but it seems i was spelling thesaurus wrong | 07:28 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah i got that bot response already... how do i add medibuntu to my source list?\ | 07:28 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i used the GUI for the source list as well | 07:28 |
| moDumass | nickrud, actually i should still have been able to find it, google pretty idiot proofs the internet these days | 07:28 |
| bullgard1 | My laptop Amilo7600 Ubuntu 8.04 does not play a 6,3 MB mp3 file to its end. How to analyze this error? | 07:29 |
| nickrud | moDumass yeah, google is useful. I once used a link to moby thesaurus on awe when I was chiding some debian developers. Lovely thesaurus ;) | 07:29 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa | 07:29 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah theFATMAN? | 07:30 |
| moDumass | nickrud, for realziez though, i cant get out of fullscreen, so i have to exit every file, which is fine mostly, but im using a broken toy in a broken toy way, really id like to fix the toy.. any ideas? | 07:30 |
| nickrud | bullgard1 I'd try playing it with mpg123 , it will tell you if it's corrupt | 07:31 |
| theFATMAN | sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -0 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 07:31 |
| nickrud | moDumass about totem? It did that once to me, I ended up switching to a console and killing it, then setting every video media type to vlc and installed mozilla-mplayer. Never looked back | 07:31 |
| bullgard1 | nickrud: I will try to gain knowledge what mpg123 is. | 07:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | oh no not more terminal! lol | 07:32 |
| theFATMAN | you need the key as well | 07:32 |
| theFATMAN | lol, the quickest | 07:32 |
| moDumass | hmm, may uninstall remove and retry | 07:32 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | definitely faster to use terminal | 07:32 |
| moDumass | nickrud, thanks | 07:32 |
| abhinay | Ubuntu Hardy Repository for isight-firmware-tools ? | 07:32 |
| moDumass | nickrud, yeh im not really a "trust myself with terminal kinda guy yet | 07:33 |

| nickrud | moDumass the best part of linux is breaking it ;) | 07:33 |
| etyrnal | Starnestommy, thank You sir | 07:33 |
| moDumass | nickrud, yeh but its a saturday night and i want to watch some movies later, and my fixes sometimes take days | 07:34 |

| theFATMAN | for the key: wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -0- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update | 07:34 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | sorry floodbot lol | 07:34 |
| theFATMAN | hmmmm | 07:34 |
| theFATMAN | hold on | 07:34 |
| nickrud | Doodluv back up home if you can, otherwise create a /data directory, copy /home there, and then delete all other directories by hand. Reinstall, and when you partition the drive, be sure to mark the root partition as not formatted. (do the move and deletion with a live cd) | 07:34 |
| rodolfo | guys, the /join command returns '/join :Unknown command'. 'Unknown file type /home/xyz/.xchat2/xchat.conf. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin?' what should I do? | 07:34 |
| matkam | i want to install ubuntu for my grandma... shes never touched a computer before, and doesnt know english well... does ubuntu do persian/farsi? | 07:35 |
| nickrud | Doodluv make sure that you do 'do not format this partition' | 07:35 |
| kindofabuzz | installing SoF2 under wine, i get to the please insert disc 2, the guide i'm using says issue a killall -9 -v wine so i can unmound cd1, but killall -9 -v wine isn't working, any ideas? | 07:35 |
| Doodluv | "this partition" meaning / ? | 07:35 |
| Starnestommy | rodolfo: are you using xchat? | 07:35 |
| nickrud | Doodluv yes. | 07:35 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-615018.html | 07:35 |
| Doodluv | ok....I'll give it a shot | 07:35 |
| rodolfo | Starnestommy, yes | 07:35 |
| Doodluv | nickrud: thank you | 07:36 |
| Starnestommy | rodolfo: regular xchat or xchat-gnome? | 07:36 |
| dpreacher | at university since freenode is blocked as a timepass/chat site, i have to use mibbit.com but i am not able to connect to ubuntu room which is what i need mostly. what do i do? | 07:36 |
| rodolfo | Starnestommy, I believe it's the regular xchat 2.8.4 | 07:36 |
| Starnestommy | dpreacher: does port 8001 work for connecting to freenode? | 07:37 |
| nickrud | dpreacher it should allow you, there's a trigger in floodbot to enable mibbit logins. Try asking in #ubuntu-ops | 07:37 |
| Starnestommy | rodolfo: try removing your xchat configuration directory with rm -r ~/.xchat2 | 07:37 |
| Starnestommy | rodolfo: then restart xchat | 07:37 |
| dpreacher | i dunno what other way to check if the irc port works but when i tried accessing with chatzilla or pidgin...i was not able to connect at all | 07:37 |
| dpreacher | i'll ask in ubuntu-ops then | 07:38 |
| shane_ | join #ubuntu | 07:38 |
| moDumass | nickrud, how do i set kafienne as the default media player? | 07:38 |
| moDumass | or vlc? | 07:38 |
| dpreacher | shane_ you already are in ubuntu | 07:38 |
| rodolfo | Starnestommy, hold up | 07:38 |
| nickrud | moDumass you would right click a media file, select properties, then the open with tab on the dialog box. You have to do that for each media type as I remember | 07:38 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | theFATMAN: confused not getting how that forum is gonna help me | 07:39 |
| Doodluv | nickrud: I mounted the partition with the ubuntu install while booted with a live cd. Then i created a /data dir and copied my /home there. so you think I should delte the other dirs by hand? | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Doodluv yes, you should. | 07:39 |
| theFATMAN | oh, i thought you got that error, lol, woops--dude, i am ...medicated | 07:39 |
| Oak_ | smoke you there? | 07:40 |
| moDumass | nickrud, cool | 07:40 |

| Starnestommy | rodolfo: yes | 07:42 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Any suggestions for a nice video editing program? | 07:42 |
| Doodluv | nickrud: it makes perfect sense. mot formating "/" will be the logical thing to do giving the only thing there will be my backed up stuff in /data, correct? | 07:43 |
| enzo_ | hI!! | 07:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you have a /data? | 07:43 |
| nickrud | Doodluv yes | 07:43 |
| Doodluv | I just like to make sure I have an understanding =] | 07:43 |
| Doodluv | Daisuke_Ido: I do now | 07:43 |
| nickrud | Doodluv heh. You understood good, I only had to say it once, except for confirmation ;) | 07:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | just making sure you weren't assuming things were getting put somewhere that doesn't exist :) i had someone do that a little while back, horrible mess | 07:44 |
| rodolfo | Starnestommy, it worked. thank you so much :) | 07:44 |
| etyrnal | how do i use the LiveCD to recover my stupidly lost sudo ability? i edited the passwd and groups files -- i was preparing to change my uid from 1000 to 501. | 07:45 |
| Doodluv | Daisuke_Ido: Im moving my /home dirs to a /data dir I created, then Im going to reinstall ubuntu, while preserving my /home data | 07:45 |
| Starnestommy | etyrnal: add your user to the admin group | 07:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | sweetness thanx a lot theFATMAN | 07:45 |
| nickrud | etyrnal easiest is to boot in recovery mode, and adduser <user>admin | 07:45 |
| Doodluv | no worries | 07:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok i could get used to terminal | 07:45 |
| theFATMAN | No P | 07:45 |
| theFATMAN | lol | 07:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Doodluv: makes perfect sense | 07:45 |
| Doodluv | I love community | 07:46 |
| shane_ | #cedega is not answering. anyone willing to help get WoW installed through cedega using 8.04? | 07:46 |
| enzo_ | help | 07:46 |
| etyrnal | Starnestommy, thanks | 07:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | though... in the future, a separate partition for /home will make that step unnecessary | 07:46 |
| etyrnal | nickrud, thanks | 07:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | shane_: just use wine, it works just fine | 07:46 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | this beats the hell out of calling M$ for support lol | 07:46 |
| etyrnal | i forgot to first add my secondary admin user =) | 07:46 |
| Doodluv | I agree. Usually when I do linux installs i separate /home /boot /var, etc. but this is my home machine...and i was lazy | 07:47 |
| nks_ | Good morning all, would anyone happen to know, how to close windows in fire mode ? | 07:47 |
| shane_ | Daisuke_Ido, In wine I get an error that the memory cannot be "read" | 07:48 |

| Ahadiel | nks_, Install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:49 |
| theFATMAN | lol | 07:49 |
| Dr_willis | aata, you did install/configure some services? can the other machines Ping it? | 07:49 |
| Ahadiel | nks_, Then enable the effects | 07:49 |

| enzo_ | 07:49 | |
| enzo_ | I want to show to a channel in Spanish ALG can help me | 07:49 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok now that i have the medibuntu repository in my sources list i can get the libdvdcss2 codecs? | 07:49 |
| Dr_willis | aata, you proberly need to enable samba and set up some shares - if you expect windows machines to see shared directories. | 07:49 |
| thrashmaster | algien que hable español | 07:49 |
| enzo_ | sip | 07:49 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | hi san | 07:50 |
| cypha | i have a folder in my /home/cypha directory that says bcm43xx | 07:51 |
| Dr_willis | aata what are you expecting the windows machines to 'see' then? | 07:51 |
| nks_ | Ahadiel-ok, I'll take another look. thankx | 07:51 |
| etyrnal | aata, to show up on a windows machine? | 07:51 |
| cypha | do i need that? | 07:51 |
| cypha | or are the required files for my broadcom kept elsewhere? | 07:51 |
| cypha | ...or how do i figure this out? | 07:51 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok brb apparently the updates due to adding medibuntu require a restart | 07:51 |
| daftpunk | hi can I somehow backup all the packages i have installed so far? I will be using my computer off line for some time now | 07:55 |
| nks_ | Ahadiel- would you happen to have a path leading to the settings, I'm looking but not seeing it. I only have 3d windows (it's not there) and Animations with the geeni lamp (and I'm not seeing it there either) ! | 07:55 |
| theFATMAN | who remembers how to whois an email address? | 07:55 |
| sandrinux | do you think is a good idea to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 "via wireless"? Or it is possible that, when I download/install of the wireless-related packets, the upgrade can freeeze? | 07:55 |
| Oak_ | Can anyone suggest a good place to look to help deal with network connection issues? | 07:55 |
| theFATMAN | or pull up the IP thru the email | 07:55 |
| aata | sorry | 07:55 |
| aata | my con dropped | 07:55 |
| aata | what were you guys saying? | 07:55 |
| cypha | i have a folder in my /home/cypha directory that says bcm43xx....do i need that or are the required files for my broadcom wireless adapter kept elsewhere? ...or how do i figure this out? | 07:55 |
| lanxuan | convienient | 07:56 |
| Ahadiel | nks_, I see it for each one of the tabs.. it's "Burn" | 07:57 |
| Ahadiel | (Under Animations) | 07:57 |
| daftpunk | Anybody? package backup? how to do that? | 07:57 |
| Dr_willis | aata, if you expect the windows machines to see the linux box under 'network neighborhood' or similer..you need to have some samba shares enabled I belive. | 07:57 |
| refinter | парни каким плеером кроме VLC можно смотреть ТЕЛЕФЕЩАНИЕ по ЛВС ? | 07:57 |
| aata | Dr_willis | 07:58 |
| nks_ | ahadiel-oooohhhhhh ! -LOL- I did see burn but was unsure as to what it was for - I actually checked it then unchecked it -hahahahaha- THANKX ALOT AHADIEL | 07:58 |
| rodolfo | Starnestommy, how do i extract the content from an img/iso file to some specific directory? is there a command to do this? | 08:00 |
| neil_d | I have a USB device (a modem) every time I start the computer I need to unplug it and replug it back in to get it to work. Is there some command that I can do to simulate this ? | 08:00 |
| Starnestommy | rodolfo: I think there is a command for extracting one, but I don't remember it. You could try mounting the iso like it's a virtual cd, though | 08:02 |
| n00bosaur | HI CAN U TELL ME IF I USE A PROGRAM TO SCRUBZ MY HDD WILL IT MAKE IT SO I CAN'T USE UBUNTU ON IT AFTER? THANKS LOLOLLLZ!!!1 | 08:03 |
| rodolfo | Starnestommy, daemontools can do that for me but what similar option do I have on ubuntu? | 08:03 |
| Starnestommy | rodolfo: the mount command | 08:03 |
| gordonjcp | !caps | n00bosaur | 08:03 |
| ubottu | n00bosaur: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 08:03 |
| sandrinux | rodolfo, there is a way to mount locally a iso file, so you can browse it and copy anything | 08:04 |
| cypha | i have a folder in my /home/cypha directory that says bcm43xx....do i need that or are the required files for my broadcom wireless adapter kept elsewhere? ...or how do i figure this out? | 08:04 |
| gordonjcp | rodolfo: "mount -o loop <name of iso> <name of mount point>" | 08:04 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: Sorry lololllzzz!!!1 it was an accident! | 08:04 |
| gordonjcp | rodolfo: you may have to tack a sudo on the start | 08:04 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: in answer to your question, no, scrubbing the disk won't stop you installing Ubuntu on it | 08:05 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: Thanks! =D | 08:05 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: disk scrubbing software is a pointless waste of time anyway, though ;-) | 08:05 |
| cypha | any ideas for me gordonjcp ? | 08:05 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: Why is that? | 08:05 |
| gordonjcp | cypha: at a guess, if you've installed the broadcom stuff correctly you can just bin that directory | 08:05 |
| gordonjcp | cypha: I've never used a broadcom card, so I can't be certain | 08:06 |
| cypha | trash bin? | 08:06 |
| cypha | or put it in the directory /bin ? | 08:06 |
| rodolfo | gordonjcp and how do i set the destination folder to extract it's files? | 08:06 |
| iltechie | \o guys ff2 plugin q. .. play buttons on this page http://www.8notes.com/guitar_chord_chart/ expect my FF2 to execute .pl Perl script, any ideas ? | 08:06 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: if you overwrite a disk even once the data is gone forever, assuming the disk is less than ten years old | 08:06 |
| gordonjcp | rodolfo: what you're doing is mounting the ISO as though it was a disk | 08:07 |
| gordonjcp | rodolfo: the "-o loop" tells mount that actually it's a loopback and not a real disk | 08:07 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: I would say it's the other way around... you can never be sure it's gone.. since disks use caching and wear-leveling and whatnot | 08:07 |
| TimStarling_ | when I turn my computer on, my PCM channel volume is set to 635% | 08:07 |
| gordonjcp | iltechie: misconfigured server? | 08:07 |
| rodolfo | gordonjcp I don't follow you | 08:07 |
| TimStarling_ | the result being that it's severely clipped, before it's scaled back again by the master volume control | 08:07 |
| BlackRece | hi pll, i'm abbout to re-install ubuntu feisty desktop, the plan is to have a desktop OS with server apps (apache, mysql, mail and etc) with a desktop gui, is there a better way? is someone willing to show/tell me a method of adding a GUI desktop to a feisty server? | 08:08 |
| TimStarling_ | anyone know what component might be responsible? | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: ok, barring wear levelling - you may not be able to hit blocks that have been mapped out | 08:08 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: but I guess this isn't really on topic.. so I'll stop here | 08:08 |
| Dr_willis | BlackRece, its easier to add the services to a desktop install | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: but there's no way to read the old data from a block that's been overwritten | 08:08 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: I used ubuntu to overwrite my disk once, but when i used the clean install I came across an old file of mine that was STILL there. | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: you didn't overwrite it then | 08:08 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: So formatting and putting a clean install of ubuntu doesn't do the job? | 08:09 |
| iltechie | gordonjcp>iltechie: misconfigured server? <<< why it plays perfectly on win machine. talking abouut client here | 08:09 |
| gordonjcp | rodolfo: if you wanted to mount something like a second hard disk, you'd say something like "mount /dev/hdb1 /media/sparedisk" | 08:09 |
| gordonjcp | iltechie: <shrug> | 08:09 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: well.. not in software I suppose | 08:09 |
| iltechie | . .. play buttons on this page http://www.8notes.com/guitar_chord_chart/ | 08:09 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: no, there's really really no way to find out what was there | 08:09 |
| iltechie | gordonjcp: ty, been googling for some time about it | 08:10 |
| BlackRece | ta Dr Willis, any tips or common mistakes i should avoid? | 08:10 |
| gordonjcp | iltechie: it looks like it's supposed to be serving the output of a Perl script | 08:10 |
| Slart | n00bosaur: are you really sure you didn't just reuse the partitions? files usually don't stick around when you repartition | 08:10 |
| gordonjcp | iltechie: what happens in Windows? | 08:10 |
| vb | can I install transmission 1.21 from getdeb.net (hardy specific deb) on my gutsy gibbon? | 08:10 |
| iltechie | yep gordonjcp and win ff2 does it perfectly | 08:10 |
| raymond | hello does anyone knows how to install starcraft | 08:10 |
| iltechie | will look on addons.mozilla.com/firefox | 08:10 |
| gordonjcp | !iso | rodolfo | 08:11 |
| ubottu | rodolfo: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - 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. | 08:11 |
| n00bosaur | Slart: I told it to use the entire partition, guided. | 08:11 |
| gordonjcp | !appdb | rodolfo | 08:11 |
| ubottu | rodolfo: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 08:11 |
| gordonjcp | rodolfo: bah, disregard the appdb thing | 08:11 |
| gordonjcp | !appdb | raymond | 08:11 |
| ubottu | raymond: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 08:11 |
| raymond | i install wine | 08:11 |
| raymond | already | 08:11 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: if it repartitioned and reformatted the disk then no old files would be kicking about | 08:11 |
| Slart | n00bosaur: I'm not too familiar with the installer so I don't know what the default behaviour is.. but files don't stick around if you remove the partitions and create new ones | 08:12 |
| raymond | but i can't install the game | 08:12 |
| giloedan | hi, i dont want the file manager keep opening new window when i enter a directory, can i do that? | 08:12 |
| n00bosaur | Doesn't the computer cache an image of the old system on the HDD for later recovery if needed? I was under the impression that's how a lot of cyber criminals get caught. Even if they reformat or repartition their drives it saves images of old files. | 08:13 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: nope | 08:13 |
| === arief is now known as co_caem_enak | ||
| blah561 | I am attempting to use LAMP, but I can not write to the folder that contracts the files, as "permission is denied." How can I permit the permission? | 08:13 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: some systems have a recovery partition on the disk | 08:13 |
| Dr_willis | giloedan, the gnome file manager has 2 modes, the 'browser' mode and the 'spatial' mode you want to enable the spatial mode perhaps. (everyone seems to HATE the spatial mode stuff) | 08:13 |
| rodolfo | gordonjcp sandrinux, Starnestommy, thanks for the help! | 08:13 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: I overwrote that when I put ubuntu on this laptop. | 08:13 |
| blah561 | Nevermind. | 08:14 |
| raymond | i install wine but still i can't install starcraft | 08:14 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: also bear in mind that if you format a hard disk, all that does is blank out the start of the partition and the superblocks | 08:14 |
| giloedan | Dr_willis: how can i change to browser mode? | 08:14 |
| === co_caem_enak is now known as co_caem_fs | ||
| Dr_willis | giloedan, i dont rember. Im sure its mentioned in the forums. Theres a check box/option in the gconf editor i recall. | 08:14 |
| gordonjcp | raymond: that's a shame | 08:14 |
| arooni-mobile | 1) how do i list total space left on all volumes? 2) how do i track down which directories have the biggest files (so i can get rid of them)? | 08:14 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: if you just format the disk, you can often poke around and find at least bits of files | 08:15 |
| giloedan | Dr_willis: ok i'll check it out | 08:15 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: So by scrubbing the disk what am I doing? Just the same thing? blanking out the same things as the partitioner or formatter? | 08:15 |
| Frogzoo | arooni-mobile: df -h | 08:15 |
| gordonjcp | arooni-mobile: 1) "df" 2) "du" | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | giloedan, http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/2.22/gosnautilus-510.html.en | 08:15 |
| Frogzoo | arooni-mobile: filelight is best for finding big arse files | 08:15 |
| theFATMAN | does ubuntu have an email address trace program? | 08:15 |
| raul | anyone here use sirius radio | 08:15 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: by scrubbing the disk you are overwriting all sectors with random garbage | 08:15 |
| raymond | can some one help me | 08:15 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: Oh, I see. | 08:16 |
| Frogzoo | !appdb | raymond | 08:16 |
| ubottu | raymond: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 08:16 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: now on *very very old* disks, there's the theoretical possibility that you can go in with a special microscope and see the "fringes" around the data written on the disk surface, and work out what the data was *before* it was overwritten | 08:16 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: email tracing? what do you want to do? | 08:16 |
| theFATMAN | Slart, I have a really bad spammer i want to track down | 08:16 |
| raul | Slart, your always here | 08:16 |
| enzo | <nickrud> enzo try typing /j #ubuntu-es <= i don't speak spanish | 08:17 |
| Dr_willis | raul, yes i have.. and no ive never gotten their streaming to work under linux. :( | 08:17 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: however, this doesn't work on drives made in the last 10-15 years, because they use a more complex recording system | 08:17 |
| BlackRece | ah, can i srub a disk that had two partitions, one of which the bios reports as bad, in the hope that the drive would work (ok-ish) after a good scrub and polish? | 08:17 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: not a lot you can do in software locally | 08:17 |
| gordonjcp | theFATMAN: not worth bothering with, tbh | 08:17 |
| giloedan | great it works, it's in the preference | 08:17 |
| gordonjcp | theFATMAN: just use something like spamassassin and the various RBLs | 08:17 |
| Slart | raul: nope | 08:17 |
| theFATMAN | Slart, if i can get the IP, i'd be fine | 08:17 |
| raul | Dr_willis, thanks and damn that sucks | 08:17 |
| theFATMAN | Slart, all I have now is the email address | 08:17 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: just check the emails full source | 08:17 |
| gordonjcp | theFATMAN: that would give you the IP of a pwned Windows box in China | 08:17 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: So when I go to put my clean install of ubuntu on, what do you recommend? | 08:18 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: that's all the info you can get.. | 08:18 |
| gordonjcp | theFATMAN: or, alternatively,a pwned Windows box in the US | 08:18 |
| n00bosaur | For getting rid of EVERYTHING | 08:18 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: partition and format the drive as normal | 08:18 |
| theFATMAN | I did, the headers showed the proxy and the original senders email | 08:18 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: And there's no ever getting back any of that information? | 08:18 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: nope | 08:19 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: then that's as far as you'll get.. not a lot more you can do | 08:19 |
| gordonjcp | so if there's anything you want to keep, make sure you've backed it up | 08:19 |
| * n00bosaur makes sure he grabs all his important documents! | 08:19 | |
| theFATMAN | hmmm...i know there is a way, i just cant remember | 08:19 |
| gordonjcp | n00bosaur: in future if you make a separate /home partition, you can reinstall Linux and leave /home untouched | 08:19 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: and as gordonjcp said.. you'll probably end up at a trojaned box in china or us | 08:19 |
| Myrtti | grauh. | 08:19 |
| theFATMAN | true | 08:19 |
| n00bosaur | gordonjcp: Ok, thanks for the info! | 08:20 |
| theFATMAN | but it came up on their myspace page | 08:20 |
| gordonjcp | theFATMAN: I have huge swathes of the US's ISPs dynamic IP ranges blocked | 08:20 |
| theFATMAN | n00basaur, were you trying to retrieve data from a HDD? | 08:20 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | well now when i try to play the DVD under VLC it crashes | 08:21 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | computers irk me | 08:21 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, it happened to me-u do mean a physical dvd right? | 08:21 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah | 08:21 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | the bourne identity to be exact lol | 08:22 |
| amerinese | this sounds stupid but... i'm switching from windows and why doesn't the backspace key work for going back in firefox on ubuntu? is there another convention? | 08:22 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, what i did, was i rebooted, went to the ubuntu recovery mode, then repaired broken pckgs, then norml reboot--->wrked like a charm | 08:22 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i have no clue how to do that lol | 08:23 |
| theFATMAN | lol, live free or die hard for me | 08:23 |
| bloops | A program is saying: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 is not found, but I have both libsdl-image1.2 and the -dev installed | 08:23 |
| gordonjcp | amerinese: in about:config there's a variable called browser.backspace_action | 08:23 |
| theFATMAN | just reboot, and you'll see the option | 08:23 |
| theFATMAN | are you dual booting? | 08:23 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | do i have to go to the grub menu? | 08:23 |
| gordonjcp | amerinese: in Ubuntu it's set to 1, so "Backspace" scrolls up a page and "Shift-Backspace" scrolls down | 08:24 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | no straight ubuntu Hardy | 08:24 |
| Slart | amerinese: I think alt+left key works the same.. or ctrl.. or shift or something | 08:24 |
| amerinese | gordonjcp: what does the integer represent? | 08:24 |
| abhinay | my laptop (MacBook) brightness is going maximum when i open any video in vlc or mplayer, any workaround for this ? | 08:24 |
| bloops | Infact there is a link in /usr/lib called libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 to libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.1.5 | 08:24 |
| gordonjcp | amerinese: if you set it to 0, it will go back a page and shift-backspace will go forwards | 08:24 |
| amerinese | ok hmm, mine is actually set to 2 | 08:24 |
| gordonjcp | amerinese: oh ok, nfi what that is then | 08:24 |
| theFATMAN | ok, then the loader, yea, i have always dual booted, so it is there initially fi=or m, lol | 08:24 |
| gordonjcp | http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action | 08:24 |
| gordonjcp | amerinese: ^ | 08:24 |

| Starnestommy | giloedan: virtualbox is faster, although qemu with kqemu is almost as fast | 08:26 |
| Myrtti | giloedan: it's up to your own preferences | 08:26 |
| Starnestommy | giloedan: xen is the fastest that I've used | 08:26 |

| theFATMAN | BlackRece, are you on a 32bit or 64? | 08:46 |

| giloedan | its ur CD or CD drive gone bad | 08:47 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | BlackRece: you can skype with pidgin | 08:47 |
| keyplute | It of course doesn't give the percent in the main verson, but it crashers, and returns to the Live CD portion | 08:47 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: in terminal sud apt-get install gnome-panel | 08:47 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, for real? | 08:47 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: in terminal sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 08:47 |
| Shadow420 | keyplue giloden u can't expect to ubuntu to have all hardware or software to run perfect on install | 08:47 |
| cypha | slart what're the ways to uninstall something? there is apt-get remove, then there is something with --purge? then there is 1 other way too, right? | 08:47 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i'm pretty sure let me check quick i'm running pidgin now | 08:47 |
| theFATMAN | damn, i had to do this whole workaround to get skype on my AMD64! | 08:47 |
| mohkohn | I have an ISP which disconnects me whenever I stop clicking on URL's after a certain amount of time. | 08:47 |
| keyplute | I can try my other drive to see what happens. I am also getting an ACPI error when the installer launches | 08:48 |

| over2seeu | legend2440: looks like it is downloading | 08:48 |
| xorand | I have never setup a vpn before. I have a wireless router on an ubuntu box and would like to connect to it from xp and linux boxes. Do you know of any tutorials or links, please? | 08:48 |
| boss | hi | 08:48 |
| keyplute | Any idea of what would be causing that, and would it be related to the Fatal Install error | 08:48 |
| Shadow420 | theFATMAN I think there is a skype package for 64 | 08:48 |
| Shadow420 | !skype64 | 08:48 |
| ubottu | Factoid skype64 not found | 08:48 |
| Slart | cypha: apt-get remove, removes the program binaries but not configuration files... apt-get remove --purge removes everything, binaries + config. I don't know of a third way. (in synaptic "completely remove"=--purge, "remove"=remove) | 08:48 |
| Shadow420 | !skype | 08:48 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 08:48 |

| theFATMAN | lol | 08:51 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | install hardy | 08:51 |
| mohkohn | gordonjcp, it seems to be related to using the web | 08:51 |
| Slart | mohkohn: you could probably find some kind of macroing thingy.. but far easier would be to download a "auto reload" plugin for firefox and set it to reload a page every 2 minutes | 08:51 |
| big-g | is there a web site that i can look up linux programs and see how other users rate them? i'm trying to find the most popular and best program for irc chat | 08:51 |
| theFATMAN | KRaZy_WaKa, who? | 08:51 |
| Shadow420 | theFATMAN ok so using uibuntu 64-bit version would work better for yor system unless its a intel core 2 | 08:51 |

| giloedan | mohkohn: u can try to keep pinging to some host | 08:52 |
| gordonjcp | mohkohn: ok, so ping doesn't work? | 08:52 |
| Shadow420 | theFATMAN ok so you can use 32 on 64 but it may work lot better if you use ubuntu Hardy Heron 64-bit version | 08:52 |
| cypha | Slart, do dependencies = configuration files? | 08:53 |
| theFATMAN | 3072RAM|1TB HDD(dual 500GB)|ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT| | 08:53 |

| gordonjcp | mohkohn: I can think of a couple of possibilities | 08:53 |
| theFATMAN | thankx tho, 4shure | 08:53 |
| Slart | cypha: no.. dependencies are taken care of automagically by apt... if you have something installed that nothing needs it will tell you when you run apt-get install in a terminal | 08:54 |
| mohkohn | Pity. I am on Hardy with three | 08:54 |

| giloedan | theFATMAN: ic | 08:57 |
| over2seeu | yah | 08:57 |
| gnomefreak | dependencies are not always packages | 08:57 |
| Slart | cypha: well.. everything is packages in apt.. you install the firefox package, you install the openoffice package.. you install the wine package | 08:57 |
| over2seeu | legend2440: yah | 08:57 |
| theFATMAN | still tryin ta get a feel for GIMP, tho | 08:57 |

| spiral | gnomefreak: all right, so this shouldn't take too long before it gets released to the repos ? | 09:01 |
| blah561 | Is this like a Linux virus? | 09:01 |
| gnomefreak | spiral: waiting for us to test the final build and may show up in hardy after intrepid build is fixed incase we need to add any fixes to hardy to prevent further issues | 09:01 |
| over2seeu | legend2440: huh? I dont see that anywhere? | 09:01 |
| Starnestommy | blah561: what lines? | 09:02 |

| blah561 | You do not see the lines? | 09:02 |
| cypha | blah561, problem is your monitor or something | 09:02 |
| Shadow420 | syrius_ if you are going to do like that I would have at least 10GB to comit compiling a kernel | 09:02 |
| giloedan | where is the deb file stored when we use synaptic to install program? | 09:02 |

| BlackRece | KARZY: that's funny cos I've never paid for intel hardware (hook or crook!) but all AMD h/ware were all heavy on my pocket!!! | 09:02 |
| Starnestommy | blah561: looks clear to me | 09:02 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: if you type gnome-panel in terminal they come back? | 09:02 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | AMD is worth paying for | 09:02 |

| Starnestommy | mhz128: irssi has scripts like that and I think xchat has some too | 09:27 |
| yesudeep | Nope, I didn't. | 09:27 |
| cwillu | slytherin, fwiw, it won't let you assign tasks to a cpuset if you haven't assigned a cpu and memory bank to the cpuset first (and it doesn't do anything sensible by default, like assuming you want to use what the parent did if you haven't specified) | 09:27 |
| mhz128 | Starnestommmy: cool, irssi is good stuff? | 09:27 |
| slytherin | mhz128: it is command line stuff :-) | 09:27 |
| Starnestommy | mhz128: it is, but the only catch to it is that it's terminal-based | 09:27 |
| Slart | mhz128: irssi is console based.. if you liked mIRC you probably won't like irssi | 09:27 |
| slytherin | yesudeep: then it is for sure running in 'dry run' mode | 09:27 |
| mhz128 | ah.. | 09:27 |
| anirudh0 | hp: the fix did'nt work for you because the command opened up superuser's trash | 09:28 |
| anirudh0 | hp: which was empty | 09:28 |
| crislsizl | slytherin, xmms %q is the command for playing streams. how shall i change it | 09:28 |
| hp | ohhhhhhh | 09:28 |
| crislsizl | ? | 09:28 |
| Slart | mhz128: but mirc in wine works just fine.. if that's what you want.. go for it | 09:28 |
| anirudh0 | hp: so the fix is to locate the "trash" folder of your user on your hard disk...and then do a "sudo rm -r " on it | 09:28 |
| slytherin | crislsizl: try totem %q or if it doesn't work totem %u | 09:28 |
| mhz128 | Slart: ya it works fine in Wine, but my script doesn't :p | 09:28 |

| Slart | areels_: people say "use ebox instead of webmin".. just a heads up | 09:35 |
| Slart | !webmin | 09:35 |
| 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. | 09:35 |

| Slart | zubu12: google for it.. it's a very very common grub question.. which I for some reason can't remember the answer to | 09:39 |
| tsukasa_laptop | bullgard1, how do i check if the session dbus is running? | 09:39 |
| BlackRece | in that case, what we need is skype!! what app did u say could connect to skype? pidgin? | 09:39 |
| zubu12 | Slart: ok | 09:39 |
| cypha | sudo apt-get autoremove xyz will remove the dependencies, and will not be lingering in the background auto-doing anything else right? the word auto is always scary =) | 09:39 |

| cypha | thanks slytherin | 09:41 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | or click the system menu then about ubuntu | 09:57 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| _2 | rodolfo i.e. why you are chrooting in the first place | 09:57 |
| mhz128 | Anyone know of a weather widget/screenlet that will work in Canada? | 09:57 |
| legend2440 | _2: rodolfo is using livecd and trying to mount /dev/hdb1 | 09:58 |
| over2seeu | gnome desktop manager is not working. how do I get it back? | 09:58 |
| BlackRece | feisty 7.04?! so gutsy = 7.10? | 09:58 |
| wong-deso | why do call it root while its on the top species? | 09:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yes | 09:58 |
| _2 | legend2440 then chroot is not what he needs | 09:58 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: lol what are you doing there? | 09:58 |
| BlackRece | omg | 09:58 |
| legend2440 | _2: i know | 09:58 |
| rodolfo | _2: I need to browse the partition already mounted right before update the grub list | 09:59 |
| legend2440 | rodolfo: in terminal type sudo mkdir /mnt/disk then sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk then cd /mnt/disk | 09:59 |
| legend2440 | _2: this is what i told him to do | 09:59 |
| Slart | zubu12: sorry.. was off getting something to eat.. hang on.. I'll check that link | 09:59 |
| wong-deso | !root | 09:59 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:59 |
| over2seeu | legend2440: I don't know what is happening. but everytime I restart my computer something else decides to disapear on me | 09:59 |
| rodolfo | legend2440: this is the output from the mount command: http://mibbit.com/pb/Zg6wZE | 09:59 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: oh my | 09:59 |
| capucinpeg | all qu'elle quin peut me prendre en pv pour déprotégé un pc unika probléme hdd mais je ne parle que le francais et je suis députent sous ubuntu ? | 09:59 |
| areels | http://127.0.0.1/ebox says not found, why is that? | 10:00 |
| BlackRece | ok, on to my next question then, (i'm on feisty!! jeez!) KRaZy: how do i add the mediverse source? | 10:00 |
| _2 | rodolfo you don't chroot for that. sudo mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt browse /mnt run grub-install --root-directory=/mnt <device> where device is something like /dev/hda | 10:00 |
| over2seeu | legend2440: now my desktop is gone. | 10:00 |
| Dr_willis | BlackRece, you mean medibuntu, or universe, or multiverse ? there is no mediverse. | 10:00 |
| xintron | I can't fastswitch user anymore. It said there was something missing on last boot, what do I need to reinstall? | 10:00 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | one second | 10:00 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | medibuntu | 10:00 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | he needs to get skype | 10:01 |
| yesudeep | askvictor: Conversation > Add... | 10:01 |
| wong-deso | over2seeu: go to terminal, and type startx | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | !medibuntu | 10:01 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 10:01 |
| legend2440 | rodolfo: ok so cd /mnt/hdb1 then type dir to see files | 10:01 |
| wong-deso | or ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the x | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | legend2440, dir? is this Dos? :) | 10:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | and i believe you need medibuntu to get skype | 10:01 |
| _2 | rodolfo you don't chroot for that. sudo mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt browse /mnt run grub-install --root-directory=/mnt <device> where device is something like /dev/hda <<< did you get this ? | 10:01 |
| Slart | zubu12: check this link.. it's mentioned in that post too http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Common_Booting_Errors_and_Some_Possible | 10:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | !skype | 10:02 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | there ya go rece | 10:02 |
| legend2440 | Dr_willis: lol ok then ls? | 10:02 |
| MattK | Dr_williis dir and ls are the same i think but im not sure but i use the "ls" command | 10:02 |
| over2seeu | wong-deso: it says that I need to remove /tmp/.X0-lock | 10:03 |
| askvictor | yesudeep: thanks! | 10:03 |
| wong-deso | askvictor: ADD CHAT | 10:03 |

| mhz128 | Do certain programs need to be added to the safe Firewall list? | 10:03 |
| mhz128 | does ubuntu have a firewall? | 10:03 |
| BlackRece | medibuntu is safe? or ... never mind | 10:03 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: no desktop? are you at command prompt? | 10:04 |
| jussi01 | BlackRece: medibuntu is fine :) | 10:04 |
| over2seeu | yah | 10:04 |
| Slart | mhz128: yes.. iptables.. it's not active by default though | 10:04 |
| over2seeu | legend2440: yah | 10:04 |
| _2 | mhz128 iptables is built into the kernel. yes. firestarter i think is the gnome fe | 10:04 |
| Slart | mhz128: or.. it's active but there are no rules | 10:04 |
| mdh76 | mhz128, the new firewall is called ufw | 10:05 |
| mhz128 | cool | 10:05 |
| mhz128 | how do I manage it? | 10:05 |
| legend2440 | over2seeu: have you tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop? | 10:05 |
| mdh76 | mhz128, there's none by default activated, but there's thousands available in the repository | 10:05 |
| mhz128 | I installed a weather screenlet, however it doesn't seem to be connecting | 10:05 |
| mhz128 | oh ok! | 10:05 |
| _2 | mdh76 ufw a new ubuntu-tized fe ? | 10:05 |
| BlackRece | site just came up. in otherwords its good wares not hacked warez | 10:05 |
| xukun | hi all | 10:05 |
| mhz128 | what is "fe"? | 10:05 |
| JBB | Hi | 10:05 |

| mhz128 | ah | 10:06 |
| _2 | or iron "chem" | 10:06 |
| rodolfo | _2: grub-install --root - directory=/mnt/hdb3 or grub-install --root - directory=/dev/hda ? | 10:06 |

| surajit | need some knowhow about altering iso images in ubtuntu | 10:06 |
| blaaah | hey guys, its me again. how do i install nvidia drivers? sudo wont work | 10:06 |
| over2seeu | legend2440: not yet | 10:06 |
| mdh76 | _2 kinda. its new in hardy. but its all command-line (but simple enoguh for grandma) unfortunately it doesn't do QoS or anything like that - planned for Insomniac Iguana or whatever the next revision is | 10:07 |
| blaaah | krassi@krassi-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run | 10:07 |
| Slart | blaaah: restricted drivers.. nvidia | 10:07 |
| blaaah | sudo: unable to resolve host krassi-desktop | 10:07 |
| blaaah | krassi@krassi-desktop:~/Desktop$ | 10:07 |
| _2 | rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hda | 10:07 |
| surajit | is there anyway i can alter an existing iso image (to put more files inside the image) | 10:07 |
| surajit | magic iso in winxp use to do it | 10:07 |
| _2 | rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hdb3 /dev/hda <<<actually | 10:07 |
| rodolfo | _2: that's weird, since I've mounted on hdb3 | 10:07 |
| Slart | surajit: there's almost always a way.. some ways are longer though | 10:07 |
| blaaah | so what should i do to make this work? i dont know su password :/ | 10:07 |
| surajit | thanx Slart | 10:08 |
| _2 | rodolfo like i intimated i had to undo your bogus command. | 10:08 |
| surajit | can you point me in the right dierction | 10:08 |
| Slart | surajit: you could always create a new iso with the files from the old one.. and add some in the process | 10:08 |
| big-g | hey, does anyone know if vmware uses raw disks or does it use disk images only? | 10:08 |
| rodolfo | _2 .... | 10:08 |
| Slart | surajit: there's a terminal command called mkisofs I think.. | 10:08 |
| surajit | Slart : the reason i want to alter the old one is because its a bootable format for a recovery cd | 10:08 |
| Slart | !iso | 10:08 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - 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. | 10:08 |
| wong-deso | big-g:both | 10:08 |
| _2 | rodolfo sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hda <<< actually if you mounted like i said. | 10:08 |
| rodolfo | _2 i just don't get what /dev/hda has to do with /mnt/hdb3 | 10:09 |
| mdh76 | blaaah, you'll need to fix your /etc/hosts file first so sudo is happy. you may need to boot in recovery mode to do that since sudo won't work to give you root privs until you fix it, and you need root to fix it | 10:09 |
| xukun | how can I connect my s-video of the laptop to the tv? do I need to install -- add something or does it just work out of the box? | 10:09 |
| _2 | rodolfo you have to install grub some place if you want the system to boot. i.e. MBR | 10:09 |
| big-g | which is better when useing raw disk in virtualization, virtualbox or vmware | 10:09 |
| blaaah | it worked fine in wmware :( | 10:09 |
| mdh76 | blaaah, while you're in the recovery console, chmod /etc/hosts 0444 so other crazy processes don't dick with it | 10:09 |
| big-g | ? | 10:09 |
| rodolfo | _2, legend2440: check this out: http://mibbit.com/pb/5ozvLn | 10:09 |
| xukun | !s-video | 10:10 |
| ubottu | Factoid s-video not found | 10:10 |
| _2 | rodolfo and your MBR is not a partition | 10:10 |
| wong-deso | big-g: vmware does fine | 10:10 |
| rodolfo | _2, you mean my masterboorecord is damaged or uninstalled? | 10:11 |
| === blaaah is now known as dgz | ||
| pretender | Can anyone tell me how to do a DVD Case insert template in glabels. Avery 8891. It does not have one | 10:11 |
| Slart | surajit: apparently there an app called iso master that's supposedly can edit iso's.. never tried it myself though | 10:11 |
| wong-deso | rodolfo: why dont u downlod supergrub.iso, u can fix ur grub just in minutes without headache | 10:11 |
| big-g | which should i recommend to my boss for virtualization...vmware or virtualbox? i use virtualbox but haven't messed around with vmware | 10:12 |
| _2 | rodolfo no. i mean a boot loader has to be started by bios. and bios does NOT read partitions to find a boot loader it reads the MBR so you have to imbed grub into the mbr for it to be the primary boot loader | 10:12 |
| _2 | rodolfo if that's not what you want don't install it to /dev/hda put it on /dev/hdb or /dev/sda or something | 10:12 |
| wong-deso | big-g: never tried virtual box, vmware is good | 10:13 |
| rodolfo | _2, that's what i want | 10:13 |
| _2 | rodolfo which "that" ? | 10:13 |
| Starnestommy | big-g: I like virtualbox and qemu/kvm, but I've found that xen was fastest even though it was rather hard to set up | 10:14 |
| abrahan | hi... i need help with ubuntu ultimate | 10:14 |
| * _2 mentions both yea and nay and someone says that's it how am i supposed to know which "that" they mean... | 10:14 | |
| areels | shorewall doesnt exist on ebox | 10:14 |
| Flannel | abrahan: We don't support Ubuntu Ultimate. You should try the real Ubuntu | 10:15 |
| rodolfo | _2: I want to fix my grub. I can't start up the system, it dies on that initialization screen | 10:15 |
| wong-deso | !shorewall | 10:15 |
| 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). | 10:15 |
| big-g | ya, virtualbox is extremely slow for sharing partitionns with linux | 10:15 |

| areels | !webmin | 10:23 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 10:23 |

| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 10:23 |
| daftman | adam7: yes but I want to do it through the gnome interface | 10:24 |
| Briareos | if one of you can help on the mktemp-problem, please read: http://pastebin.ca/1027782 | 10:24 |

| xintron | I good dock for ubuntu? | 10:24 |

| daftman | i want to find out how to do that through the command line | 10:25 |
| daftman | sending the same keys | 10:25 |
| T-Man | anybody know how to make removable media automatically mount when it's inserted? Particularly using usb media card reader.. | 10:25 |
| wong-deso | !sudo | 10:25 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 10:25 |

| T-Man | Using Ubuntu 8.04 | 10:25 |
| _2 | daftman ummm showkey ? | 10:25 |
| wong-deso | T-Man: it should do it automatically | 10:26 |
| T-Man | no | 10:26 |
| daftman | what does show key do? | 10:26 |
| legend2440 | daftman: open system>preferences.keyboard shortcuts look for volume up down etc | 10:26 |
| T-Man | I've looked and googled for days but to no avail | 10:26 |
| _2 | daftman admittedly the output is a bit cryptic at first it 0x"hex number here" | 10:26 |
| daftman | yep I see 0xa4 etc | 10:26 |
| Briareos | t-man when it asks you tell it to use "open in window" (or so) as default action | 10:26 |
| daftman | but I can't get that to work with irxevent | 10:26 |
| daftman | how do or as a command | 10:27 |
| legend2440 | daftman: you can assign key combinations of your choice | 10:27 |
| T-Man | I get the error "cannot mount volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume" Never happended this way until I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 | 10:27 |
| daftman | legend2440: i tried looking up the shortcut, i just want to be able to simulate pressing those keys through a command line | 10:27 |
| mdh76 | is the invalid hostname problem with sudo well known? bercause its going to really tick off lots of people using hardy... | 10:27 |
| daftman | or through an irxevent | 10:28 |
| _2 | daftman a4 is the hexidecimal output of the key you pressed so you can find the key code that the system sees. you can use that info to either make a script for doing the same thing or change the keymap to have that key do things... the possiblities are many | 10:28 |
| T-Man | as a workaround I can use storage device manager to mount as sudo | 10:29 |
| DaveyJ | quick question: whats the command to wget a range | 10:29 |
| T-Man | but that's a pain to keep doing that | 10:29 |
| DaveyJ | like whatever[0000-9999].jpg | 10:29 |
| daftman | _2: I don't think you understand me right. right now say for example xf86audiomute is set to mute audio in gnome | 10:29 |
| spxza | DaveJ: you can only glob on ftp servers | 10:29 |
| daftman | now i want to be able to mute that audio in gnome via a command line | 10:29 |
| daftman | either through dbus | 10:29 |
| DaveyJ | oh really? | 10:29 |
| DaveyJ | hrm | 10:30 |
| T-Man | Briareos, it doesn't ask, that's the problem | 10:30 |
| daftman | in kde I can do it via dcop and mixer0 | 10:30 |
| Flannel | mdh76: Which problem is that? | 10:30 |
| DaveyJ | theres a range of pictures on a site i wanted to download | 10:30 |
| spxza | DaaveJ: or use a quick bash script | 10:30 |
| _2 | a4_f=164 | 10:30 |
| DaveyJ | well yeah i meant the bash script ;) i'm not good with scripting and i've done something similar before that someone pasted for me | 10:30 |
| ubuntu | ck der_acid | 10:30 |
| gaokai__ | if I just want to show lines that I need of a text file in the terminal,what should I do? | 10:30 |
| DaveyJ | lost the command though | 10:30 |
| spxza | DaveyJ: there may be some shell features that could do it for you | 10:30 |
| daftman | how do you mute gnome sound | 10:30 |
| xintron | Any suggestions for a good dock? | 10:30 |
| daftman | so that the grphical audio picture shows up and mute it | 10:30 |
| T-Man | xintron, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedHardware | 10:31 |
| daftman | anybody know how to mute gnome sound via the command line? | 10:31 |
| mdh76 | Flannel, something, and I suspect NetworkMangler though I haven't checked, erases the shortname from the /etc/hosts file, and sudo then refuses to grant root access | 10:31 |
| xintron | T-Man: What? | 10:31 |
| daftman | without going through alsamixer? | 10:31 |
| daftman | etc | 10:31 |
| DaveyJ | spxza: know a way i can find out? | 10:31 |
| mdh76 | Flannel, I fixed mine by booting into recovery console, fixing the hosts file, and chmodding it 0444 ;) | 10:32 |
| Flannel | mdh76: That'd be a problem with network manager or whatever, but not sudo, and definately file a bug about it. | 10:32 |
| T-Man | xintron, sorry wrong link | 10:32 |
| adam7 | daftman: I think amixer will do it for you | 10:32 |
| daftman | adam7: thanks but thats the last resort | 10:33 |
| mdh76 | Flannel, I think I will, I don't want to spend the rest of my days in here describing to n00bs how to use vi to edit /etc/hosts in recovery console ;) | 10:33 |
| daftman | amixer don't display a little speaker on screen like when you press a mute button on your media keyboard | 10:33 |
| _2 | daftman if you don't want to use that key to do this. only want a command to mute it. asoundconf can probably do that. i just install aumix and use it. aumix -v 0 | 10:33 |
| mdh76 | Flannel, I'm surprised more people haven't come across it though, since its broken this way out of the box | 10:34 |
| adam7 | daftman: amixer can change the sound stuff via arguments (it isn't the same as alsamixer) | 10:34 |
| cdavis | Is there a program that will try to print an xml file in a *pretty* way? | 10:34 |
| daftman | _2: yea i read about that, but I just want to see if there is anyway to send commands to the gnome desktop environment via a command line | 10:34 |
| daftman | things like eject | 10:34 |
| daftman | mute | 10:34 |
| daftman | etc | 10:34 |
| spxza | cdavis: you can get a stylesheet to transform it | 10:34 |
| xintron | When having flash on any page viewing with Firefox, I just get a grey box with an arrow, when I click the arrow the flash-banner/game etc shows, how do I get it so it shows from the beginning? | 10:34 |
| legend2440 | daftman: amixer set Master mute? | 10:34 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225046/ I did 'update-grub'. Why does Grub not offer a kernel version 2.6.24 to boot? | 10:35 |
| adam7 | daftman: what do you mean, "send commands"? | 10:35 |
| _2 | daftman then you need to be looking at metacity and dbus ? | 10:35 |
| adam7 | daftman: eject a cd? just type eject at the cmd line | 10:35 |
| daftman | send commands and like dcop or dbus | 10:35 |
| _2 | or what ever they use | 10:35 |
| _2 | yeah like dcop | 10:36 |
| adam7 | if you wanna use dbus, you're gonna need to learn some programming, I think | 10:36 |
| daftman | but dcop only works on kde app | 10:36 |
| mudd`Hossam | anyone know how to set up postfix/ldap on ubuntu? | 10:36 |
| daftman | yea that's unfortunate because dcop can be use on the command line | 10:36 |
| cdavis | spxza, any gui to help do that well? | 10:36 |
| daftman | instead through some api | 10:36 |
| _2 | daftman like i said look into metacity i don't do gnome | 10:37 |
| Flannel | daftman: gnome-settings-daemon does all that. So check its man page for anything good | 10:37 |
| ePax | bullgard1: Type uname -r | 10:37 |
| ePax | bullgard1: That will show what kernel you are using. | 10:37 |
| anon111 | Every time I boot, I have to run "sudo modprobe ath_pci", then "sudo ifconfig ath0 up" to get my wireless to work. Firstly, is there any way to have Ubuntu run this automatically on startup? Also, when I run it, it asks me if I want to display it, or run it in a terminal. Is there a way to automatically make it run it in the terminal? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. | 10:37 |
| bullgard4 | ePax: "detlef@MD97600:/boot$ uname -r; 2.6.22-14-generic" | 10:38 |
| daftman | no man pages for gnome-settings-daemon | 10:38 |
| copyofjohan | hi, is it a problem to delete all content in /root and copy /etc/skel to /root? | 10:38 |
| Flannel | copyofjohan: Why do you need to do that? | 10:38 |
| xukun | how can I use the tv out of my laptop in ubuntu? my video card is ati x300 | 10:38 |
| ePax | bullgard1: Then you have not upgraded to Hardy yet. Or you are booting your old kernel. | 10:38 |
| _2 | daftman and you were correct, i did misread what you wanted. being a console user i think a little differently than the avarage ubunteer | 10:38 |
| spxza | daftman: you could always adjust the volume knob on your speakers :-) | 10:39 |
| copyofjohan | Flannel: I ran some some programs as root and want to reset /root. | 10:39 |
| bullgard4 | ePax: hihihi | 10:39 |
| Flannel | copyofjohan: Why do you even have your root account enabled? | 10:39 |
| legend2440 | xukun: what happen when you connect to tv? | 10:39 |
| daftman | lol spxza: yea that's defeats the purpose of remote | 10:39 |
| mdh76 | hmmm does ubottu know about launchpad bugs? | 10:39 |
| Flannel | copyofjohan: /etc/skel is probably empty, so just remove all the contents of /root | 10:39 |
| xukun | legend2440, nothing | 10:39 |
| ePax | !ati | xukun | 10:39 |
| ubottu | xukun: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:39 |
| copyofjohan | Flannel: I dont. | 10:39 |
| spxza | daftman: hey, compromises | 10:39 |
| spxza | lol | 10:40 |
| daftman | spxza: the aim was to set up everything for the remote | 10:40 |
| ePax | anon111: It is possible that ubuntu does that for you. | 10:40 |
| legend2440 | xukun: no vertical flip or blue box on tv screen? | 10:40 |
| copyofjohan | Flannel: but is it a problem? | 10:40 |
| daftman | and no wireless keyboard doesn't help | 10:40 |
| juelz | hello. i wanted to change the table_cache setting of mysql. i restarted mysql afterwards but the change does not work. assume i set table_cache=1024, after the restart it is still table_cache=64. what could be the problem? my server config is the following: http://nopaste.biz/42695 | 10:40 |
| Flannel | copyofjohan: Is what a problem? | 10:40 |
| spxza | daftman: remote? you mean an infared remote? | 10:40 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225046/ I did 'update-grub'. Why does Grub not offer a kernel version 2.6.24 to boot? | 10:40 |
| _2 | copyofjohan you can as root rm -r /root && mkdir /root -m 700 | 10:40 |
| adam7 | copyofjohan: you can always mv /root to /root-old or something and see if any problems result | 10:41 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: make sure that that kernel is installed in the pkg manager | 10:41 |
| spxza | copyofjohn: what did you do as root, may I ask? | 10:41 |
| xukun | legend2440, nothing at all | 10:41 |
| anon111 | ePax: When I run "sudo ifconfig", my wireless chipset isn't displayed, but when I modprobe ath_pci, and bring up ath0, and then run "sudo ifconfig", it does work. Thanks for replying to my question. :) | 10:41 |
| legend2440 | xukun: are you connecting with s-video cable? | 10:41 |
| xukun | legend2440, yes | 10:42 |
| spxza | anon: you need to tell your box to load the module on bootup | 10:42 |
| daftman | spzxa: yes | 10:42 |
| spxza | daftman: oh, LIRC | 10:42 |
| daftman | tried that | 10:42 |
| xukun | legend2440, my tv is crt | 10:42 |
| daftman | lirc don't control gnome events | 10:42 |
| daftman | only particular apps | 10:42 |
| spxza | daftman: you want it just for volume control? or everything? | 10:42 |
| Krohnal | hey | 10:42 |
| daftman | everything | 10:42 |
| spxza | daftman: you configure lirc to do whatever you want | 10:42 |
| kokebok | I've got a Spyder2Suite (screen calibrator), but it doesn't work under Linux. If I connect my screen a Windows Pc to calibrate it, will the settings be saved in the screen, and be correct when I connect it to linux again? | 10:42 |
| daftman | but volume control first step | 10:42 |
| ePax | anon111: You have to add modprobe ath_pci modules to start at every start | 10:42 |
| legend2440 | xukun: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 10:42 |
| legend2440 | !paste | 10:43 |
| 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) | 10:43 |
| xukun | yes | 10:43 |
| daftman | not that easy to configure lirc when you can't control gnome | 10:43 |
| anon111 | ePax: If I add it to /etc/modules, is that likely to do the trick? | 10:43 |
| spxza | daftman: that depends on what you want to do | 10:43 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: How can one install a kernel _in_ a package manager? Please elaborate. | 10:43 |
| kokebok | xukun: Talked to me? | 10:43 |
| xukun | kokebok, no | 10:44 |
| spxza | daftman: but, you say everything, so it's a bit tough. What kind of remote is it? | 10:44 |
| _2 | is disk encription supported in dapper ? i have /dev/hda mounted on /home and if it's well supported i'd like to encrypt it | 10:44 |
| _2 | ? | 10:44 |
| Alex9999 | hi | 10:44 |
| ePax | anon111: yeap... gksudo gedit /etc/modules | 10:44 |
| Alex9999 | please someone can help me? | 10:44 |
| anon111 | Thanks - I've just edited, and I'll give it a try. :) | 10:44 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: sorry. Open Synaptic and make sure that the linux-generic package is installed, and the linux-image-2.6.24.16-generic image is installed | 10:44 |
| xukun | legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14281/ | 10:44 |
| Krohnal | Just a quick question. If I upgrade my current ubuntu distribution to the new one (8.04 LTS) will all my compiled programs be intact or will I have to set them up all over again ? :) | 10:44 |
| spxza | daftman: what you could do is write an app that lirc controls, and then send events to gnome | 10:44 |
| daftman | spxza: the remote is working ok | 10:44 |
| daftman | but sending the events to gnome is the hardbit | 10:45 |
| Alex9999 | i've problems with Ubuntu Hardy.... | 10:45 |
| spxza | daftman: not hard, fun :-) | 10:45 |
| Alex9999 | i started to use linux a month ago... so i'm a half-beginner | 10:45 |
| daftman | gnome it's hard because there is no dbus | 10:45 |
| _2 | Krohnal safest to recompile them all against the new libraries | 10:45 |
| Alex9999 | someone can pvt me | 10:45 |
| daftman | that can be wired at the command line | 10:45 |
| ePax | !ask | Alex9999 | 10:45 |
| ubottu | Alex9999: 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. :-) | 10:45 |
| adam7 | daftman: if you want to mute the volume : amixer set Master mute | 10:45 |

| T-Man | I get the error "cannot mount volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume" This never happened until I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 | 10:47 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: ok, now we should check /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:47 |
| _2 | Krohnal if any of them are mission critical, i'd rebuild them. | 10:47 |

| InMyLife | Hello, I'm a new user to ubuntu and I have an enquiry...I used to update manager to download updates, and everything went smoothly. After the install was complete, I was asked to restart the computer, however, as I was busy doing something else, I did not restart immediately. Then at one point, my ubuntu froze up, and I ended up using force-shutdown to turn off my computer. Is there any possibility that the update got corrupted? I re-ran update | 10:53 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: hm, ok -- try this: sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.broken, and then sudo update-grub | 10:53 |
| Sturmeh | or just once ijusten | 10:53 |
| ijusten | Every time | 10:53 |
| _2 | jussi01 is there no factoid on disk encryption or am i just overlooking it ? | 10:53 |
| Sturmeh | InMyLife if update is "corrupted" it will be evident next time you try to update | 10:53 |
| legend2440 | xukun: yes that is what i use tv out for. to play movies on computer and watch on tv. i use mplayer and had to try different video drivers in mplayer preferences to get it to work | 10:53 |
| LogiTech | why no1 answearing? | 10:53 |
| xukun | legend2440, yes thanks I will | 10:53 |
| adam7 | InMyLife: if the updates finished installing before the computer crashed, you should be fine | 10:54 |
| Sturmeh | InMyLife yeah it's fine | 10:54 |
| xukun | legend2440, I will let you know | 10:54 |
| xintron | Is there an easy way to install mono on ubuntu? | 10:54 |

| mdh76 | xintron, let your mother use it? | 10:54 |
| anon111 | ePax: Adding ath_pci to /etc/modules worked - thanks for your help! :D | 10:54 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS editing grub? | 10:54 |
| InMyLife | Yea, it had finished installing and prompted for the restart by the time it crashed. So I don't need to perform any further actions right? | 10:54 |
| cOzAtS | Sturmeh: yes | 10:55 |
| ePax | InMyLife: Since ubuntu asked for restart it means that it has updated your system. You whould have restarted your comp at once but i dont thik that its a big deal. | 10:55 |
| ijusten | Sturmeh, I installed xserv and afterwards when trying to run nvidia-settings it asks to add nvidia-xconfig to x configuration file | 10:55 |
| ijusten | but I have no idea how to it :) | 10:55 |
| Sturmeh | no it's fine InMyLife just remember when you crash to do this... "Alt+PrtScn~REISUB" | 10:55 |
| ePax | anon111: You welcome. You can get ath0 to auto start as well. | 10:55 |
| InMyLife | ok, what does that do? | 10:55 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: "...; Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic; Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic; Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin; Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done" | 10:55 |

| anon111 | ePax: It did that automatically. :) | 10:56 |
| Sturmeh | T-Man just copy the whole "USERNAME" folder somewhere safe | 10:56 |
| ePax | InMyLife: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade and see if your system is up to date. | 10:56 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: that should do it then -- check /boot/grub/menu.lst before you reboot to make sure that there is a title line for 2.6.24 in there, so you don't get stuck not being able to boot | 10:56 |
| generic | hey i installed ubuntu 8.04 when ever i reboot my machine my resolv.conf file removes what to do? | 10:56 |
| ePax | anon111: Nice (; | 10:56 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS ?? | 10:57 |
| InMyLife | hold on i'll brb, i actually have to get on the right OS | 10:57 |
| _2 | T-Man you could tarball it or disk image it and store it on a windows machine even | 10:57 |
| T-Man | Sturmeh, when I do a fresh install will there be an option to create /home as a seperate partition? | 10:57 |
| cOzAtS | i had an ide disk which during install was recognised as boot drive (hda) but my win +ubuntu install is on sda (i think) and i need to set this straght cause i cant login to win anymore | 10:57 |
| ePax | generic: Edit your resolv conf as root and it should stay the way it is. sudo -s | 10:57 |
| Sturmeh | you mean it won't boot into Win when you click "Windows" cOzAtS ? | 10:57 |
| _2 | T-Man sorry you said safe. disreguard that. | 10:57 |
| T-Man | I think my upgrade through synaptic hosed | 10:57 |
| cOzAtS | yes ntldr missing | 10:57 |
| generic | i make very first time as root | 10:58 |
| Sturmeh | T-Man you need to do a manual install, and assign a partition to the /home directory | 10:58 |
| leetsweden | . | 10:58 |
| cOzAtS | first it grub would load i try to foolw the fix with the live cd and now win wont boot | 10:58 |
| T-Man | sweet | 10:58 |
| Sturmeh | also one to "/" root, and "SWAP" <-- make that logical | 10:58 |
| Sturmeh | just install x-chat in the live session if u are not sure T-Man | 10:58 |
| T-Man | logical | 10:58 |
| ePax | c0zAts: What win do you use? | 10:58 |
| T-Man | ok | 10:58 |
| cOzAtS | xp pro | 10:58 |
| _2 | Sturmeh logical ? | 10:59 |

| ijusten | sturmeh, so, any ideas on my problem? | 10:59 |
| Sturmeh | T-Man "/" and "/home" should be Primary Partitions, "SWAP" can be Logcal partition | 10:59 |
| T-Man | i see | 10:59 |
| ijusten | because as long as I can't make that work, everything else on my screen looks like shit | 10:59 |
| T-Man | i get it | 10:59 |
| Sturmeh | ijusten it's a problem with the nvidia drivers not editing your config | 10:59 |
| _2 | Sturmeh why can't / and home be logical too ? | 10:59 |
| ijusten | how would you start resolving it? :) | 10:59 |
| Sturmeh | _2 you can't boot off logical partitions | 10:59 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: yeah, you look pretty good | 11:00 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: And now re-boot? | 11:00 |
| _2 | Sturmeh linux doesn't care where it lives | 11:00 |
| T-Man | man.. reconfiguring everything is goona be a pain | 11:00 |
| ePax | c0zAts: Search on google for fixboot. You need windows cd to be able to fix that problem. but its not big deal. | 11:00 |
| _2 | Sturmeh you can have / on a logical or even on no partition at all | 11:00 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: yep | 11:00 |
| Dr_willis | _2, i was thinking the same thing.. but i always use all primaries. :) | 11:00 |
| Sturmeh | ijusten, in nividia-config you should try to "save settings to X" then copy the preview it gives you and update the x config manually | 11:00 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: I will be back in 10 mins. | 11:00 |
| Sturmeh | _2 my bad, /boot needs to be primary no? | 11:00 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: hopefully ;) | 11:00 |
| _2 | Dr_willis yeah the guy missed that one. | 11:00 |
| T-Man | dual monitors, mouse options... ugh could go on and on | 11:00 |
| _2 | Sturmeh no. | 11:01 |
| ijusten | sturmeh, it doesn't allow me to do that before I edit the xconfig | 11:01 |
| Sturmeh | what bootloader are we talking about | 11:01 |
| Alex9999 | I've this problem. In my Ubuntu Hardy, i can't add any custom session . if i start gnome-session-properties i CANT see any "ADD" button. in that tab i see only "Save current running programs" - I need to create alternative session for the same user because in one of this session i've to remove any graphics effect. Can anyone tell me how do i? | 11:01 |
| _2 | Sturmeh grub | 11:01 |
| _2 | Sturmeh or lilo | 11:01 |
| Sturmeh | grub i suppose can boot off a logical partiton | 11:01 |
| ePax | Sturmeh: Before you do any changes to your X, save one working copy. In case something goes wrong. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-copy | 11:01 |
| Sturmeh | not me ePax tell ijusten | 11:01 |
| T-Man | wheres the best place to get the ubuntu hardy image so I can burn a cd? | 11:01 |
| _2 | Sturmeh lilo can even boot without a partition | 11:01 |
| ePax | Sturmeh: Sorry then :D | 11:02 |
| _2 | Sturmeh that's how mine is setup. | 11:02 |
| ijusten | when I try to run nvidia-settings, it says that I can't do that before I ad "nvidia-xconfig" to x configuration file.. | 11:02 |
| Sturmeh | lol, _2 that's news to me, i once tried installing ubuntu on a logical partiton and no luck | 11:02 |
| ePax | T-Man: www.ubuntu.org | 11:02 |
| Sturmeh | why even bother making primary partitions then _2? | 11:02 |
| _2 | Sturmeh well live and learn :) | 11:02 |
| ePax | !nvidia | ijusten | 11:02 |
| ubottu | ijusten: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:02 |
| Sturmeh | _2 and the answer to the other question? | 11:02 |
| leetsweden | ... | 11:03 |
| legend2440 | T-Man: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 11:03 |
| _2 | Sturmeh "<Sturmeh> why even bother making primary partitions then _2?" <<< that one ? no reason i can think of. | 11:03 |
| T-Man | ty legend2440 | 11:03 |
| Dvyjones | I get the follorwing boot error: "wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found", also the wlan0 doesn't exist, but the network card is detected. How do I assign wlan0 to the network card on 8.04? | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | _2, its how the hard drive 'standard' grew over the years... at one time there was only primary partitions. :) | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | _2, or so my reading of 'history of computers 101' seems to imply | 11:04 |
| adam7 | _2: Sturmeh: Windows will only install on primary partitions, if that is of any concern | 11:04 |
| _2 | Sturmeh windows would cry about it if you ran it and tried to look at the disk without any primary. | 11:04 |
| KrimZon | is setting up apache/mysql/php in hardy ontopic here? | 11:04 |
| _2 | adam7 yeah that ^ | 11:04 |
| ijusten | I have a backup, epax, but before I installed xserv | 11:04 |
| Dr_willis | _2, why not ask.. WHY only 4 primaries... why extended/logical.. :) | 11:04 |
| ijusten | And I kind of need xserv | 11:04 |
| adam7 | KrimZon: sure | 11:04 |
| ijusten | so to make everything work I need to know how to add the line | 11:04 |
| Sturmeh | _2 Logical partitions are containted within a Primary partition anyway, i guess it's only logical :P | 11:04 |
| _2 | Dr_willis exactly. and i have made up to 8 primaries but only my bootloader liked it. | 11:05 |
| ijusten | It gives the instructions but it assumes I know the commands, which I dont | 11:05 |
| T-Man | I wonder where my nearest mirror would be | 11:05 |
| ePax | ijusten please look at this webpage. It explains how to install nvidia and ati drivers | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | _2, oh? ive never seen an app that would let me make more then 4 | 11:05 |
| ePax | !nvidia | ijusten | 11:05 |
| ubottu | ijusten: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:05 |
| _2 | Sturmeh extended actually but yes. | 11:05 |
| Sturmeh | u can't boot off logical partitions with all bootloaders, that's all i know | 11:05 |
| KrimZon | ive followed a guide i've found on setting up apache/mysql/php but at the moment i can't get php files to actually execute, firefox just tries to download them, and they get the source rather than output | 11:05 |
| _2 | Dr_willis bootitNG does. | 11:05 |
| Sturmeh | bootitNG is scary | 11:05 |
| Sturmeh | :O | 11:05 |
| * T-Man needs to take linux classes | 11:06 | |
| legend2440 | T-Man: where are you? | 11:06 |
| T-Man | ware, ma | 11:06 |
| _2 | Sturmeh heh yeah. i like it. | 11:06 |
| Sturmeh | _2 you use it? | 11:06 |
| ijusten | ubottu, I have done that, and it worked dandy for two months before I put in another screen, decided that I wanted separate desktops and not just to expand the previous one and installed xserv | 11:06 |
| ubottu | ijusten: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:06 |
| ijusten | well, epax then | 11:06 |
| T-Man | ubottu is intelligent :) | 11:06 |
| ubottu | T-Man: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:06 |
| ePax | KrimZon: try to ask in #apache | 11:06 |
| Sturmeh | ubottu, i think i have a crush on you | 11:07 |
| ubottu | Sturmeh: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:07 |
| Sturmeh | SOMG | 11:07 |
| Sturmeh | lol | 11:07 |
| legend2440 | T-Man: maine? mayb portland state univeristy? | 11:07 |
| _2 | Sturmeh only if i mess a disk up now days. but years ago i used it to boot several ms installs in my prelinux days. 10 years ago | 11:07 |
| mudd`Hossam | anyone know how to set up postfix/ldap on ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| ePax | ijusten: have you tryed this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:07 |
| Sturmeh | mayvbe if it was free _2 | 11:07 |
| T-Man | maybe, will try | 11:07 |
| ijusten | epax, still nothing about xserv | 11:07 |
| _2 | Sturmeh the copy i got was free, it started off free. | 11:08 |
| cOzAtS | ePax: i need step by step insructions please spear me 5 mins | 11:08 |
| _2 | Sturmeh about 2 years later it went comerical | 11:08 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS do u know where windows is cOzAtS? | 11:08 |
| Sturmeh | yeah gay _2 | 11:08 |
| Sturmeh | ( sorry ) | 11:08 |
| cOzAtS | Sturmeh: yes | 11:08 |
| xintron | Is it possible to make a "shortcut" that runs a specific command in the terminal and also, removes the menu from the terminal? | 11:08 |
| funkyhat | KrimZon: which guide did you follow? | 11:09 |
| legend2440 | T-Man: sometimes your better off using torrent files | 11:09 |
| T-Man | legend2440, I think there is a way to run a ping test on the list of servers | 11:09 |
| Sturmeh | um xintron not sure, why would you want to remove the menu? | 11:09 |
| adam7 | xintron: if you use gnome-terminal and profiles, you should be good (profiles let you change the look of the gnome-terminal) | 11:09 |
| KrimZon | funkyhat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 11:09 |
| _2 | xintron yes. but if you want the menu permanently removed there is an option in the gnome-terminal to do that too | 11:09 |
| Sturmeh | ah adam7' | 11:09 |
| T-Man | I found it | 11:09 |
| InMyLife | hi sorry | 11:10 |
| cOzAtS | ive messed app device.map and menu.lst i think and i dont understand the ouput of fdisk -l | 11:10 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS put it on ubuntu paste | 11:10 |
| leetsweden | ... | 11:10 |
| Sturmeh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 11:10 |
| adam7 | xintron: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=PROFILENAME Open a new window containing a tab with the given profile. More than one of these options can be provided. | 11:10 |
| Sturmeh | tell us the link when ur done cOzAtS | 11:11 |
| InMyLife | sturmeh, you asked me to do the sudo apt-get update command | 11:11 |
| leetsweden | . | 11:11 |
| ePax | c0zats: Get your windows xp cd. restart your computer and boot from the cd. When you get option to install system KLICK UNDER IT to repair system. You have to get your cmd window from CD to be able to run 2 commands. When you DO get your CMD with your XP CD type fixboot c: and fixmbr ... You can search on google for more deailded howtos thay are planty of them. | 11:12 |
| InMyLife | to check whether the updates have been correctly installed. | 11:12 |
| Sturmeh | not me but what happened? | 11:12 |
| ePax | cOzAtS: Does your ubuntu starts? | 11:12 |
| InMyLife | oh it must've been ePax then | 11:12 |
| Sturmeh | ePax it does, he can't boot windows | 11:12 |
| Sturmeh | i got him to print the output of "fdisk -l" to print.ubuntu.com | 11:12 |
| Sturmeh | eh paste.* | 11:12 |
| _2 | someone should make a pastebin script for the ubuntu pastebin so people could just pipe output to the pastebin run blah | pastebin.sh ya know ? | 11:13 |
| InMyLife | I got a bunch of lines starting with "Hit" and "Ign", such as Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed Release.gpg | 11:13 |
| cOzAtS | Sturmeh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14286/ | 11:13 |
| Sturmeh | windows xp or vista? | 11:13 |
| cOzAtS | sda is the win-ubuntu partition | 11:13 |
| cOzAtS | xp pro | 11:13 |
| Slart | _2: there is one | 11:13 |
| ePax | InMyLife: As i have told you. Since ubuntu asked for restart after updates your system can not have corrupted updates because they where allready installed. | 11:13 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: I am back. "detlef@MD97600:~$ uname -r; 2.6.24-16-generic" But my framebuffer console has disappeared. | 11:13 |
| _2 | Slart ? | 11:14 |
| Slart | !info pastebinit | 11:14 |
| ubottu | pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 84 kB | 11:14 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: that's interesting -- which one? | 11:14 |
| Slart | !into webboard | 11:14 |
| InMyLife | okok | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Factoid into webboard not found | 11:14 |
| InMyLife | thanks | 11:14 |
| Slart | !info webboard | 11:14 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS these all partitions on one harddrive? | 11:14 |
| ubottu | webboard (source: webboard): Copy and paste to a public pastebin server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 19 kB, installed size 196 kB | 11:14 |
| ePax | c0zats: it does not matter where you have your win... your ubuntu starts but you have to fix new MBR for your XP. Please read what i have told you above. | 11:15 |
| _2 | Slart ok. if i ever upgrade i'll leave my script behind then. | 11:15 |
| cOzAtS | sda has 2 partitions the windows and the ubuntu-in ubuntu all are in 1 pertition(boot-root-home etc) | 11:15 |
| Sturmeh | yeah listen to ePax | 11:15 |
| ePax | InMyLife: You welcome. | 11:15 |
| cOzAtS | the other drives are storage | 11:15 |
| InMyLife | just wondering, how stable is ubuntu designed to be? what would be a typical frequency of freezes? | 11:15 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS listen to what ePax said, it will fix it... | 11:15 |
| Sturmeh | InMyLife depends how you use it, the casual user won't let it freeze, infact it freezes alot less than windows on any level | 11:16 |
| cOzAtS | ive tried that...:( it loses grub after fixboot and fixmbr | 11:16 |
| Sturmeh | then you reinstall grub? | 11:16 |
| big-g | anyone here use shorewall? | 11:16 |
| Sturmeh | InMyLife it's pretty stable once you get to know it, it's got many tools for the poweruser. | 11:17 |
| cOzAtS | reinstalling the grub gives me an "ntldr missing" | 11:17 |
| ePax | InMyLife: Sometimes if they are more updates to system a reboot is required to get everything to work. Smaller upgrades or non system upgrades does not require restart. Ubuntu which is installed properly is stable as one OS can be. | 11:17 |
| Sturmeh | InMyLife just remember if "X" crashes, and you can't fix it, just hit Alt+Ctrl+backspace | 11:17 |
| Sturmeh | :D | 11:18 |
| _2 | InMyLife trying to run something for the first time and things misconfigured or a terrably broken app would be just about the only "freeze" and i have done that i think 3 times total in 9 years | 11:18 |
| cOzAtS | can you tell me where is the win partition to edit it in the menu.lst? (hd0,1)? (hd0,2) etc? | 11:18 |
| leetsweden | . | 11:18 |
| ePax | c0zats: Where do you have ubuntu and where do you have XP? On what disks? C: D? | 11:18 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS where is ubuntu in terms of hd(0,0) ? | 11:18 |
| _2 | InMyLife and i'm not even a linux salesman :) | 11:18 |
| Sturmeh | _2 linux employs salesmen? | 11:19 |
| dgz | i swear people, vi is the most piece of shit software EVER | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | :P | 11:19 |
| BlackRece | what on earth am i missing!!! i type "sudo apt-get install skype" (i'm running fiesty on a amd) and i'm stuck on the agrement screen | 11:19 |
| cOzAtS | ubuntu (hd0,4) win i cant understand | 11:19 |
| _2 | Sturmeh :) | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | dgz AGREED | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | lol | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | still better than dos | 11:19 |
| bazhang | language please dgz | 11:19 |
| ePax | Black: Type "Y" or "yes" | 11:19 |
| anirudh0 | dgz: install vi-full...rather than the pathetic thing that comes bundled with ubuntu | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS try "hd(1,0" | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | cOzAtS try "hd(1,0)" | 11:19 |
| ePax | BlackRece: : Type "Y" or "yes" | 11:19 |
| Sturmeh | missed a bracket lol | 11:19 |
| dgz | i was editing hosts when that shit made me crazy | 11:20 |
| cOzAtS | thnx ill give it a try | 11:20 |
| cOzAtS | brb | 11:20 |
| dgz | and i have no internet no more in linux | 11:20 |
| dgz | what the fuck | 11:20 |
| ePax | dgz: Language please. | 11:20 |
| bazhang | !ohmy | dgz | 11:20 |
| ubottu | dgz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 11:20 |
| BlackRece | am i that stupid!! omg! it only sed ok at the bottom! | 11:20 |
| Sturmeh | no anirudh0 it's supposed to discourage the editing of important files | 11:20 |
| bazhang | stop cursing dgz | 11:20 |
| dgz | ok, i will | 11:20 |
| Sturmeh | dgz it's easy, use A not I | 11:20 |
| _2 | dgz vi is not for beginners. after you learn how it works it's not bad. i still prefer other editors but i understand vi and it's a powerful editor | 11:20 |
| Sturmeh | dgz you want to use "append" not "insert" insert is terrible | 11:20 |
| InMyLife | haha whoops , I just had to try that key combination. Oh yea, one more question...If i downloaded Firestarter from Add/Remove, it's on an always-on basis right? Even when the program isn't graphically showing. | 11:20 |
| dgz | it is bad | 11:20 |
| dgz | i type wrong letter and oh nooo | 11:21 |
| Sturmeh | haha InMyLife | 11:21 |
| leetsweden | . | 11:21 |
| Sturmeh | you want a better one InMyLife? | 11:21 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: I am missing 6 framebuffer consoles 160x50. In Gutsy I had made an entry 'vga16fb' in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules/ and blacklisted vesafb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer. | 11:21 |
| Sturmeh | dgz USE APPEND | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | dgz: thats because the default thing that comes with ubuntu has lots of stuff missing..like in insert mode the cursor keys cause vague key combinations to show up | 11:21 |
| _2 | dgz only because you don't yet understand it. don't blame an airplain for pilot error. | 11:21 |
| ePax | InMyLife: Firestarter if just gaphical app for firewall. Ubuntu firewall is installed and running from the beggining. | 11:21 |
| dgz | i go to the line i want to edit, i hit <i> and start editiong | 11:21 |
| Sturmeh | ah yea, dgz you are refering to the letters not dissapearing when you backspace... lol just write over them to get rid of them | 11:22 |
| anirudh0 | dgz: you have to replace vi-tiny with vi-full..if you want to use it to its full potential | 11:22 |
| Sturmeh | dgz don't use "I" | 11:22 |
| Sturmeh | dgz use "A" | 11:22 |
| BlackRece | er, its not working, type y and yes and evn ok but nothing! still stuck | 11:22 |
| adam7 | bullgard4: sorry, I don't know about framebuffers :( ask the question to the channel? | 11:22 |
| bullgard4 | adam7: Yes, I will. -- Thank you for your help. | 11:22 |
| dgz | HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO USE ANYTHING ELSE SINCE I DONT HAVE INTERNET ON IT NOW! looks like hosts is broken now | 11:22 |
| _2 | [ins] to go into insert mode | 11:22 |
| anirudh0 | dgz: vi is not you run of the mill editor...its much more powerful...right now you are better off with nano or gedit | 11:22 |
| InMyLife | Is there a better firewall for ubuntu? epax, if there's already an inherent firewall installed, is firestarter required? | 11:22 |
| xukun | legend2440, | 11:23 |
| Alex9999 | HI! please, see this url (table 8-21 row4) - it says i've a "ADD BUTTON" to add a SESSION in gnome so i can customiza different session for the same user. I'VE UBUNTU HARDY and i DON'T HAVE THAT BUTTON. Can someone help me?? | 11:23 |
| legend2440 | xukun: yes? | 11:23 |
| dgz | and it keeps telling me i have a few .swp files of hosts now | 11:23 |
| _2 | dgz nano is easier for beginners than vi | 11:23 |
| Sturmeh | i herd when you capatilize certain parts of ur message, people actually read it | 11:23 |
| dgz | and i dont how to delete them | 11:23 |
| Sturmeh | _2 he can't use nano for certain things | 11:23 |
| anirudh0 | dgz: swp files come in when you shutdown vi improperly. | 11:23 |
| Sturmeh | _2 visudo for example | 11:23 |
| dgz | i know that | 11:23 |
| xukun | legend2440, If play a movie with vlc then its good, but with mplayer there is no picture | 11:23 |

| _2 | Sturmeh and why not ? i use mc for visudo ! | 11:24 |
| dgz | sudo DONT WORK | 11:24 |
| ePax | InMyLife: bu default ubuntu has firewall installed. All ports should be closed and non listening. Firestarter is just Graphical program to easy control your ports and see whats happening. If you want to open or close ports you can do it with firestarter. | 11:24 |
| dgz | thats why i tried to edit hosts | 11:24 |
| Sturmeh | haha u messed up ur visudo? | 11:24 |
| xukun | legend2440, also with the normal ubuntu screen on the tv if I move the mice screen moves too | 11:24 |

| anirudh0 | dgz: wait..i'll post my hosts file...change your hostname and it should work | 11:28 |
| R2r | alex9999, whats the problem | 11:28 |
| Stroganoff | Alex9999 manually create your session through creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ | 11:28 |
| Sturmeh | so you "saved" it after editing it incorrectly dgz ? | 11:28 |
| legend2440 | xukun: don't know why screen would move with mouse. never had that happen | 11:28 |
| dgz | Sturmeh yes | 11:28 |
| Sturmeh | :\ | 11:28 |
| xukun | legend2440, I,m using mythbuntu which plays mplayer to play the video, so I have to figure where I find this | 11:28 |
| dgz | i did that a few times | 11:28 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy>Hardy-Upgrade] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/225092/ Gnome gibt keine Umlaute, sondern Fragezeichen aus, die Konsolen dagegen schon. Abhilfe? | 11:28 |
| Sturmeh | dgz could you possibly "remember" what it was like before u messed with it? | 11:28 |
| leetsweden | . | 11:29 |
| anirudh0 | dgz: http://pastebin.com/d3b3f86f3 | 11:29 |
| dgz | i know exactly how was it | 11:29 |
| dgz | but i cant do shit with vi | 11:29 |
| R2r | hey on the new 8.04 they said that i install it even onto a 256mb ram amchine | 11:29 |
| Sturmeh | ok dgz | 11:29 |

| anirudh0 | dgz: use NANO | 11:29 |
| Sturmeh | i'll teach u alittle vi then | 11:29 |
| R2r | will it run smoothly | 11:29 |
| ePax | BlackRece: Actually you should be able to see what it wants from you.... type "yes" without " and enter | 11:29 |
| dgz | nano in the console? | 11:29 |
| ePax | Try that. | 11:29 |
| Sturmeh | use "A" not "I" | 11:29 |
| Sturmeh | end of story | 11:29 |
| dgz | ok | 11:29 |
| Sturmeh | it's "nano /path/to/file" | 11:29 |
| anirudh0 | Sturmeh: plz dont...direct him to a good site | 11:29 |
| Stroganoff | lmao @ hinting noobs do vi | 11:29 |
| dgz | ok | 11:29 |
| dan__ | What is a possible reason ALT+F2 wouldn't be working? | 11:29 |
| Sturmeh | haha anirudh0 | 11:29 |
| dgz | ill use nano | 11:30 |
| dgz | hop it works | 11:30 |
| Sturmeh | dan__ possibly no window compisitor active | 11:30 |
| legend2440 | xukun: do you want to make vlc the default player? | 11:30 |
| Sturmeh | dan__ try "metacity --replace" in terminal | 11:30 |
| Sturmeh | see if it doesn't fix it | 11:30 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: That makes sense. Neither of my panels are loading either | 11:30 |
| Sturmeh | lol dan__ | 11:30 |
| Sturmeh | there he goes | 11:31 |
| R2r | hey can i install ubuntu with no gui then manually install fluxbox? | 11:31 |
| _2 | man all that typing and then i missed him by two seconds. | 11:31 |
| anirudh0 | R2r: yes | 11:31 |
| Sturmeh | i know _2 lol | 11:31 |
| anirudh0 | R2r: check out fluxubuntu...it does that exactly | 11:31 |
| _2 | it's hard to help people that are so impatiant | 11:31 |
| R2r | anirudh, you form india? | 11:31 |
| xukun | legend2440, I like mplayer, much better than vlc | 11:31 |
| anirudh0 | R2r: yes | 11:31 |
| R2r | mee to wheer you from | 11:32 |
| anirudh0 | xukun: good for you | 11:32 |
| Stroganoff | R2r: you can do it like this: http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/Installation | 11:32 |
| _2 | xukun my vote is for vlc ;/ | 11:32 |
| Alex9999 | R2r and other user interesting: MY PROBLEM IS: i want to have multiple session (NOT RUNNING AT SAME TIME) for the same user BECAUSE i want the user can choose the DESKTOP graphic profile at LOGIN SCREEN. So i've to create 2 session: 1)full of graphic effects and themed 2)Standard without effect and very light... HOW DO I?? | 11:32 |
| Stroganoff | Alex9999 manually create your session through creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ | 11:32 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: yeah. That didn't work | 11:32 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: closed the terminal though | 11:33 |
| BlackRece | ePax: this is what my terminal console is showing me > http://paste.ubuntu.com/14289/ | 11:33 |
| Sturmeh | dan__ what did you try? | 11:33 |
| R2r | manully create it then | 11:33 |
| anirudh0 | Alex9999: yes...as Stroganoff says..then manually edit the session from the prefs menu | 11:33 |
| legend2440 | xukun: yes i don't use vlc. like i said i had to try differnt video drivers in mplayer to find one that finally worked for tv out | 11:34 |
| anirudh0 | how do you PM users in irc...i mean so that the conversation does'nt show up in main chat | 11:34 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: Well, I'm not sure what to try at the moment. I'm opening Terminal from a text file I have saved on my desktop, because nothing else seems to be loading | 11:34 |
| Sturmeh | do this dan__ do "metacity --replace" in terminal, then press alt+f2 THEN close the terminal | 11:34 |
| Alex9999 | Stroganoff: ok, i created it cloning GNOME.desktop FILE... Now when i start that desktop i called "GNOMELIGHT.desktop" will GNOME save the graphic preference ONLY for that SESSION? | 11:34 |
| ePax | BlackRece: highlight OK and press enter.... or scrool down to the end of the page there should be one more OK highlight it as well and press enter | 11:34 |
| Sturmeh | dan__ when you reboot does the problem resolve? | 11:34 |
| ePax | anirudh0: What client do you use? | 11:34 |
| R2r | alex9999, do you know how to configure cfg's | 11:34 |

| dan__ | Sturmeh: how do I fix this from Terminal? That's all I really have to go on. | 11:41 |
| zubu | how can i fix error 17 of grub? | 11:41 |

| Sturmeh | dan__ i'm just wondering how those repos ended up on ur sources | 11:43 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: I have no idea | 11:44 |
| Sturmeh | clearly the update marked fiesty packages and messed up your installation | 11:44 |

| Sturmeh | haha anirudh that is why u can't pm anyone | 11:45 |

| Sturmeh | ah so you CAN message a staffer, interesting | 11:45 |

| zubu | Sturmeh: yes | 11:47 |
| Sturmeh | it explains it fairly well | 11:47 |
| zubu | Sturmeh: how do i check all HDD are detected? | 11:47 |
| imexil | linux1 The downgrade was pretty much messing up my system. So have to try and find another way of getting my wireless working (e.g. get a proper wifi card ;)) | 11:47 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: No, I guess not | 11:47 |
| Sturmeh | zubu under a list of hardware of some sort, you should find all your harddrives listed | 11:47 |
| PaRaSiTe | Sturmeh: Uh... I suppose before. | 11:48 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: meh. Thanks. I'm going to go do this then. Thanks. | 11:48 |

| PaRaSiTe | ePax: Including ones on different HDDs? | 11:48 |
| leetsweden | . | 11:48 |
| Sturmeh | dan__ just make sure you aren't following tutorials for distros of ubuntu that aren't hardy | 11:48 |
| Sturmeh | yes it should automagically detect everything PaRaSiTe | 11:49 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: I'm not following any tutorials. I installed, installed updates. Copies some files over. Installed more updates, reset, and now I'm here | 11:49 |
| PaRaSiTe | Sturmeh, ePax: Thanks. :) | 11:49 |
| anirudh0 | Sturmeh, but what if the os is on another physical disk? | 11:49 |
| ePax | PaRaSiTe: Yeap. If you install ubuntu as "last" os it should mount all your disks and if it just mounts but not adds them to Grub you can enable them in grub.menu. | 11:49 |
| Sturmeh | do you change your software sources from ubuntu before the updates? dan__ | 11:49 |
| zubu | Sturmeh: it shows int the device info that a primary Hard drive of 160 Gb exists! | 11:49 |
| dan__ | Sturmeh: I don't remember changing anything | 11:50 |
| PaRaSiTe | Thanks. | 11:50 |

| dgz | sudo: unable to resolve host krassi-desktop | 12:08 |
| eth01 | dgz: not our problem. | 12:08 |

On one network however, with WPA, I got a signalstrenght of 78% or so, but I don't get signal from other networks (opens) when I try to connect to them. What might be wrong? | 12:13 |
| jrib | dgz: well you can use nano instead of vi | 12:13 |
| dgz | yea, nano seems a lot better | 12:13 |

| xintron | anirudh0: Why can't I get syntaxhilight in vi? isn't ":syntax auto" correct? | 12:15 |
| jrib | xintron: make sure you installed the "vim" package. By default you only get vim-tiny | 12:15 |
| anirudh0 | xintron, it is...but just install the vi-full package | 12:15 |

| jrib | dgz: here's what mine looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14298/ | 12:17 |
| fran | asdlfkjzxv minimize or unmaximize? | 12:17 |
| pwang | hi, just asking. is there a specific channel on which to discuss packages on? | 12:17 |
| fran | minimize means go away | 12:17 |
| asdlfkjzxv | unmaximize fran | 12:17 |
| jrib | pwang: #ubuntu-motu I suppose | 12:17 |
| dgz | jrib: what should i do then? | 12:17 |
| fran | just drag the window smaller , and close it | 12:17 |
| dgz | make mine exactly like yours? | 12:17 |
| anirudh0 | xintron,do what fran said...maybe you dont need to install vi-full...but doing that is better anyway | 12:17 |
| p | i have a problem!! I have installed mac osx and then ubuntu on the same hdd, when i started the grub shows no mac partition only the ubuntu and a other OS but the other OS (mac) diddn start | 12:17 |
| fran | the window manager will save the postion | 12:17 |
| fran | usually | 12:17 |
| asdlfkjzxv | I do that | 12:17 |
| fran | er size | 12:17 |
| asdlfkjzxv | but whenever I reopen anyh other window | 12:17 |
| biro | hi all, I'm havng trouble with my wireless card, I did a clean install of ubuntu 8.04 and it tells me I need to enable the retricted B43 driver which I do. It then instructs me to restart but after the restart I'm back at square one. The wireless card is not installed and I'm instructed to enable the driver again | 12:17 |
| fran | hmm | 12:17 |
| asdlfkjzxv | it goes back to that giant default unmaximized size | 12:18 |
| fran | asdlfkjzxv no clue then | 12:18 |
| asdlfkjzxv | it's really annoying | 12:18 |
| asdlfkjzxv | :( | 12:18 |
| jrib | dgz: change "jrib" to "krassi-desktop" in the file I pastebinned | 12:18 |
| dgz | ok | 12:18 |
| anirudh0 | asdlfkjzxv, check the windows menu under system->prefs | 12:19 |
| asdlfkjzxv | anirudh0: there is no option to set the default unmaximized size | 12:20 |
| alastor666 | plop all | 12:20 |
| asdlfkjzxv | It's still big and annoying to resize | 12:20 |
| p | cry matter | 12:20 |
| anirudh0 | asdlfkjzxv, compiz or metacity | 12:21 |
| asdlfkjzxv | compiz | 12:21 |
| xintron | How do I get rownumbers in vim? | 12:21 |
| asdlfkjzxv | compiz-fusion | 12:21 |
| robg_ | p: your configuration is unconventional and not many people will have experience with it. | 12:21 |
| anirudh0 | asdlfkjzxv, i'm not very sure...but there should be some config option in ccsm | 12:21 |
| osc | does anybody tried remastering of kubuntu? | 12:21 |
| osc | or ubuntu? | 12:22 |
| anirudh0 | asdlfkjzxv, first you'll have to install compizconfig-settings-manager though | 12:22 |
| anirudh0 | osc, yes...but the install failed :) | 12:22 |
| leetsweden | . | 12:23 |
| basae | who knows about install printer ip1000? | 12:23 |

| AlbertLSD25 | hi everyone!! xD | 12:31 |

| jrib | martian67: it does | 12:32 |
| Dvyjones | Hej leetsweden! | 12:32 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, okay, but lookin at the code can you see why only MUSIC is put up when i start rhythmbox ? | 12:32 |
| robg_ | martian67: it has a dedicated installer and you only have to fill in about 5 lines | 12:32 |
| Gin | is there any irc client alternative to xchat for Ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, the code is fine...but you have a max size variable set | 12:33 |

| jrib | odinsbane: bitchx isn't in hardy | 12:33 |
| odinsbane | ircii | 12:33 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, so maybe the other output is going outside the windows | 12:33 |
| martian67 | i think be probly wants a gui client | 12:34 |
| anirudh0 | *conky window | 12:34 |
| smmagic | Or, if your prefer scripting you can run wirc/mirc under wine or crossover | 12:34 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, if i kill conky and restart it while my music player is open it works fine | 12:34 |
| Gin | icewaterman: I want a client with a GUI | 12:34 |
| p | anirudh0: What should i do | 12:34 |
| odinsbane | jrib well it works, you just can't get it from the packagaes | 12:34 |
| anirudh0 | p: plz do a apt-get --reinstall install grub...and then post the command output as well as the new menu.lst | 12:34 |
| Gin | pidgin is not reallt a client to me | 12:35 |

| AlbertLSD25 | that shortcut circle and a mac outfit if u know one xD | 12:37 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, just puting that in terminal gives me ">" with nothing next to it. | 12:37 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, thats your problem then :) | 12:38 |
| leetsweden | hehe | 12:38 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, if the command does'nt work , then conky cant do anything about it | 12:38 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, hurm, if i restart conky while rythmbox is open every thing works fine, its only if conky is opened before rythmbox that it doesnt work correctly | 12:38 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, see...the command only gives a valid output when you are actually _playing_ something | 12:39 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, which explains the behaviour you observe | 12:39 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, i just restarted conky and conky is working fine now. but if i put that command in to terminal it gives me the same resault. | 12:40 |
| anirudh0 | p: strange...it seems mac is'nt being recognized even now.. | 12:40 |
| p | the shit root thing is missed | 12:40 |
| anirudh0 | dabbill, hmm...execi just makes conky execute the command and paste the output | 12:40 |
| AlbertLSD25 | i look for a synaptic pack but i cant found one for that thing | 12:41 |
| anirudh0 | p: please address replies..and cursing wont fix your system :) | 12:41 |

| efu | I'm going to format a new drive, and I'm wondering which file system to use. Is there any reason to use ext3? ReiserFS and XFS seem to beat it on every benchmark | 12:44 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, thanks for trying :) | 12:44 |
| anirudh0 | p: sorry for the roundabout method..but i need to know where the mac partition is | 12:45 |
| p | anirudhO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14308/ | 12:45 |
| erUSUL | efu: ext3 is rock solid against power outages (and other errors) becouse it does full journaling by default | 12:45 |
| anirudh0 | efu, ext3 has the widest support...gparted can resize ext3 without bugs | 12:45 |
| anirudh0 | efu, but you are right..reiserfs is better in almost everything else | 12:46 |
| leetsweden | my desktop is so nice now xD | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | efu: other failsystems (xfs and jfs) do metadata journaling and are known to be more "fragile" | 12:46 |
| mohadib | too bad ots main developer is in prison | 12:46 |
| dabbill | anirudh0, weird thing is if i open rhythmbox, kill conky and restart it. Every thing works perfect, i can close and open rhythmbox as much as i want and my music section disappears and reappears like it should. | 12:46 |

| Treeh416 | I don't know how mount anything in linux. I have no idea how to use it. How do I mount it? | 13:18 |
| odinsbane | devilash synaptic is a gui for installing ubuntu packages. | 13:18 |

| odinsbane | devilash did you go to synaptic and search for b43 | 13:19 |
| leetsweden | ok thz | 13:19 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 first you need a directory so type sudo mkdir /media/windows | 13:19 |
| robg_ | cpare: Is the OS on your harddisk ? | 13:19 |
| cpare | robg_ I was able to get it to install on the HD | 13:19 |
| Treeh416 | it says | 13:20 |
| devilash | odinsbane Yeah, I searched 'B43' and 'bc43', it's came up with nothing | 13:20 |
| Treeh416 | Cannot create directory 'media/windows'files exists | 13:20 |
| cpare | robg_ the Workstation versions worked fine | 13:20 |
| odinsbane | devilash just b43 | 13:20 |
| robg_ | cpare: then you must try to boot from harddisk. | 13:20 |
| cpare | robg_ the x86 workstation :) | 13:20 |
| devilash | odinsbane Still nothing :/ | 13:20 |
| silverblade | When is VirtualBox 1.6 going to be available via apt-get ? | 13:20 |

| odinsbane | devilash enable just about everything. | 13:21 |
| robg_ | cpare: consult hardware manufacturer | 13:21 |
| Treeh416 | robg, I burned the CD. | 13:22 |
| devilash | odinsbane practically everything is enabled. | 13:22 |
| Treeh416 | Odinsbane, it said I there are files on that directly | 13:22 |
| cpare | robg_ why? it works fine with Ubuntu Workstation 32, just not 64 | 13:22 |
| Treeh416 | directory* | 13:22 |
| devilash | odinsbane Should I enable the partners under 'third party software' too? | 13:22 |
| odinsbane | devilash I only have unsupported updates in third-party. | 13:23 |

| Jaikkuli | when i use the first terminal command.. i am confronted with dpkg: need an action option | 13:24 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 what I am try to get you to do is see if the partition is there, if you use the live cd like he says then that will tell you and let you fix the problem. | 13:24 |
| obst | hello! why cant mv move a folder from one partition to another ? | 13:24 |
| Treeh416 | Ok :D | 13:25 |
| m4cdaddy | How do i see what programs are installed on ubuntu | 13:25 |

| Treeh416 | should I boot from CD instead? | 13:25 |
| FloodBot3 | Treeh416: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:25 |
| m4cdaddy | How do i see what programs are installed on ubuntu | 13:25 |
| obst | m4cdaddy, you could open the synaptic package manager to see which packages are installed | 13:26 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: you have to shut down the machine and boot from CD-ROM | 13:26 |
| Treeh416 | Ok | 13:26 |
| devilash | odinsbane Under updates, the boxes that are enabled are 'important security updates' and 'recommended updates', should I enable 'Proposed updates' and 'unsupported updates'? | 13:26 |
| odinsbane | devilash if you have all of those available go to the command line and type 'sudo apt-get update' | 13:26 |
| hooer | allo | 13:26 |
| m4cdaddy | obst: I was looking for the command | 13:26 |
| odinsbane | devilash enable hard-backports ... I supposed unsupported | 13:27 |
| obst | m4cdaddy, it's "synaptic" | 13:27 |
| Treeh416 | Shoot | 13:27 |
| devilash | Odinsbane right, it's 'Downloading package information' now. | 13:27 |
| Treeh416 | I have a slight problem: | 13:27 |
| Treeh416 | I formatted the CD im using | 13:27 |
| m4cdaddy | obst: no i mean that lists all installed programs | 13:27 |
| Treeh416 | and I just dragged and dropped the iso.... | 13:27 |
| polysilicon | whats the better way of allocating partitions to windows and linux on a 160GB hdd. 60GB win and 100GB linux? | 13:27 |
| Treeh416 | as infrareorder wouldn't burn the Cd... | 13:27 |
| areels | m4cdaddy: don't you have synaptic? | 13:27 |
| Treeh416 | It won't boot from CD...and I don't have anymore CD-RW/R left... | 13:28 |
| m4cdaddy | areels: yes i do, no matter i will use that | 13:28 |
| odinsbane | polysilicon 0GB windows 160GB linux | 13:28 |
| polysilicon | lol | 13:28 |
| polysilicon | I need it for gaming | 13:28 |
| robg_ | ploysilicon: you do not have complete control over partitioning as there is partition logic built in that will prevail. | 13:28 |
| polysilicon | only for gaming( | 13:28 |
| devilash | ODINSBANE Right, thats done. Should i go back into Synaptic and see whats on there? | 13:28 |
| Jaikkuli | someone tell me what is incomplete baout this following command "sudo dpkg –force-all -i cairo-dock*.deb" | 13:28 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: get some help | 13:29 |
| devilash | odinsbane I've marked b43-fwcutter for installation | 13:29 |
| polysilicon | odinsbane, do you play games? | 13:29 |
| odinsbane | devilash or type sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcm43xx-fwcutter | 13:29 |
| odinsbane | polysilicon no. So I have a 60gb xp chunk that I don't do anything with. | 13:29 |
| kd8ikt | boy do i hate broadcom | 13:30 |
| devilash | odinsbane right, thats done. | 13:30 |
| robg_ | polysilicon: then you try to reduce the size of that partition | 13:30 |
| obst | m4cdaddy, then you can use dpkg: "dpkg --get-selections > /backup/installed-software.log" this will copy a list of your installed packages into a file | 13:30 |
| Xorothal | When I try to set up port forwarding with virtualbox ose, the machine crashes (aborts). In a windows guest this happens shortly after the screen resolution changes after the windows xp loading screen, in ubuntu server this happens a couple of seconds after the boot option is selected in grub | 13:30 |
| odinsbane | devilash cool, after you install it you should be able to find broadcomm in your hardware drivers. | 13:30 |
| Jaikkuli | someone tell me what is incomplete baout this following command "sudo dpkg –force-all -i cairo-dock*.deb" | 13:30 |
| devilash | odinsbane nope, it's not on there >.> | 13:31 |
| m4cdaddy | obst: thank you this is what i was looking for : ) | 13:31 |
| robg_ | polysilicon: the problem is that if you reduce the size of a partition it may just become empty space available to no OS. | 13:31 |
| gorski | no grayscale printing option in hardy heron!!! | 13:31 |
| odinsbane | devilash you need to download the firmware. | 13:32 |

| Jessica954 | Hi Folks. I've been running my webserver on an old RH9.2 build for years. (she quickly dodges all the rotten fruit being thrown at her). I'm thinking of puting ubuntu on an old dell latitude laptop to serve the same function, but I really don't want to spend a lot of time learning a new distro. how plug-n-play can an do this? I just run a simple webserver. I might put VNC and a mailserver on it as well, but that's about | 13:33 |
| obst | odinsbane, i do it with "sudo" | 13:33 |
| danbhfive | Jaikkuli: can you paste the contents of this command "ls -al" | 13:33 |
| lc | #join ubuntu-cn | 13:34 |
| odinsbane | obst then the drive might not be mounted as 'writeable.' | 13:34 |
| ePax | !lamp | Jessica954 | 13:34 |
| ubottu | Jessica954: 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+) | 13:34 |
| AcornAcorn | how do you change what the login screen looks like? | 13:34 |
| odinsbane | obst where have you mounted the other filesystem | 13:34 |
| obst | odinsbane, I want to move a folder /home/obst/Desktop/weather to /usr/share/desklets but it says "cant remove target: Is a directory" | 13:34 |
| odinsbane | is desklets a file? | 13:35 |
| obst | a folder | 13:35 |
| devilash | odinsbane I'm not having much luck finding the firmware, I've got to a broadcom support page, but I'm not sure what I need to get; 'netxtreme desktop/mobile', 'netxtreme II', 'netlink 57xx' or 'netlink 4401' | 13:35 |
| Jessica954 | ok, so look into lamp. but heres another question: When I have issues, are you folks a -little- more helpful than #linuxhelp? those guys can be real shits when I come in asking questions. | 13:36 |
| danbhfive | Jessica954: it will depend on who is here | 13:36 |
| gorski | no grayscale printing option in hardy heron!!! anyone? | 13:36 |
| kd8ikt | best to search the forums and/or linuxquestions.org | 13:36 |
| micoh | acorn: should be an option in system where it says "login window" | 13:36 |
| Flynsarmy | Pidgin 2.4.2 has been out for a week or so hasn't it? Why isn't it in apt? | 13:36 |
| obst | odinsbane, this is my command-shell: obst@obst-desktop:/usr/share/gdesklets$ sudo mv /home/obst/Desktop/weather/* ./ -> then it throws the error | 13:36 |
| kd8ikt | then if you still have issues make a post | 13:37 |
| odinsbane | Jessica954 you'll probably have to ask questions to specific channels, such as apache if you are having trouble with a lamp server. The ubuntu end works pretty well. | 13:37 |
| jrib | !timebasedreleases > Flynsarmy (read the private message from ubottu) | 13:37 |
| AcornAcorn | micoh, where do i find system? | 13:37 |
| Jessica954 | dan, thats a bit of a shame. when my webserver goes down, its a pain to have some 13 y/o pest ask me about my boobs. | 13:37 |
| Flynsarmy | jrib: That's a ubuntu release. Pidgin is a program | 13:37 |
| micoh | acorn: on ubuntu.. it should be on the top panel | 13:37 |
| odinsbane | obst you don't have to do the /* | 13:37 |
| obst | odinsbane, thank you very much :D | 13:38 |
| danbhfive | Jessica954: but if I were to guess, if you have questions like how to configure your mailserver, you will probably have trouble getting help here. But if you have questions about installing packages, whatever, people will be able to help | 13:38 |
| toresn | i would like to find every directory that has a word that starts with a lower case ... how can i do this with the find command? | 13:38 |
| AcornAcorn | micoh, I deleted it by accident :( | 13:38 |
| jrib | Flynsarmy: I can't help you, if you don't bother to read the information I send you | 13:38 |
| Jessica954 | ok | 13:38 |
| Jessica954 | thanks | 13:38 |
| micoh | acorn: ohhh.. hmm.. you could try right clicking and then editing the panel | 13:38 |
| AcornAcorn | micoh, is it in administration? | 13:39 |
| danbhfive | Jessica954: lol, go by a non-girly name maybe? There is actually some sort of Ubuntu Women's club somewhere | 13:39 |
| tadzhikaz | has linux something like debug in windows command prompt? | 13:39 |
| Jessica954 | if I want to install a fairly stripped down and stable version of ubuntu, what do I want to d/l? what about a fully fleshed out build? | 13:39 |
| odinsbane | Jessica954 there is a server version. | 13:40 |
| lenatis | OO | 13:40 |
| micoh | acorn: yea.. there are 2 submenus there... one should have it.. if it's not in "administration" its in the preferences.. sorry i can't tell yyou right off the bat.. i'm also kinda new to ubuntu and i'm on kubuntu right now | 13:40 |
| odinsbane | Jessica954 when you look up lamp it will tell you about that . | 13:40 |

| Flynsarmy | jrib: I've glanced over these sites. They're talking about ubuntu time-based release schedule. I don't see what that has to do with program updates apeparing in apt. Firefox updates through there i dont see why pidgin doesn't | 13:41 |

| robg_ | Jessica954: you use desktops als clients and servers as servers. | 13:43 |
| odinsbane | devilash this really should be somewhat automatic. before you do anything drastic you might try running b43-fwcutter | 13:43 |
| Horscht | ePax, I tried that as well. it returned the same error | 13:43 |

| Jessica954 | dan, is the server build a gui interface by default? | 13:45 |
| Xorothal | When I try to set up port forwarding with virtualbox in ubuntu hardy, the guest crashes (aborts). | 13:45 |
| Xorothal | In a windows guest this happens shortly after the screen resolution changes after the windows xp loading screen, in ubuntu server this happens a couple of seconds after the boot option is selected in grub. | 13:45 |
| jrib | Flynsarmy: you might be able to get the new version from backports of course | 13:45 |
| devilash | odinsbane Right, I did that and it's gave me a menu. | 13:45 |
| danbhfive | Jessica954: no, opposite. If you want a gui, get the desktop | 13:45 |
| Horscht | ePax, 4 results on google | 13:45 |
| odinsbane | Jessica954 if not you can install it with apt-get. | 13:45 |

| Treeh416 | danbhfive: Who's ubottu... :S? | 13:58 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: It depends on what you want to do with your harddisk. You can delete a partition with a failing OS and do a re-install. You will need some help from a friend. | 13:58 |
| wizo | when i do a cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness it returns <not supported> | 13:58 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I don't have anyone who can help me...I need to boot into windows today, I have school work I need to do. Do you think a repair install of windows willhelp? | 13:59 |
| danbhfive | !ubottu | Treeh416 | 13:59 |
| ubottu | Treeh416: I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 13:59 |
| odinsbane | devilash, I think what you have to do is extract the firmware then mod-probe it, but it should all be automatic in hard. I would recommend rebooting then going to the hardware drivers and see if broadcomm is available. | 13:59 |
| Treeh416 | ubottu: !fixgrup | 13:59 |
| ubottu | Factoid fixgrup not found | 13:59 |
| BuFF | wizo: check power management | 13:59 |
| devilash | odinsbane Okay, I'll do it now | 13:59 |
| Treeh416 | ubottu: !fixgrub | 13:59 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:59 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: If you have install disks for Windows then you can re-install Windows and overwrite everything on the hard disk. | 13:59 |
| blumm | please, someone help me with lftp - there is very few information on google | 14:00 |
| scunizi | !grub | 14:00 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: Uggg....I have all my school work backed up...but I'm really trying to avoid a reinstall...isn't there a better way? | 14:00 |
| wizo | BuFF: in what sense? i've checked it already i think, what should i look out for? i'm on the power supply now | 14:00 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: I cannot see from here if your disk is messed up or not. | 14:00 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: Isn't there anyway I can tell yu? | 14:01 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I will be happy to list all the options I got | 14:01 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: Try to force a Windows boot. | 14:01 |
| BuFF | wizo: check power management and uncheck dimm | 14:01 |
| zackyramone | can anyone help me set a web server? | 14:01 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: Using a windows cd? | 14:01 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: or this program? | 14:01 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: Not sure how xD | 14:01 |
| odinsbane | treeh416 how about this...but note that your windows partition is not at the same spot. | 14:02 |
| wizo | BuFF: hmm, i don't see a dim anywhere.. but i swear i've seen it before, the option was for battery.. lemme find it | 14:02 |
| odinsbane | treeh416 link : http://www.linux-sxs.org/administration/grubxp.html | 14:02 |

| Slo1 | Hwo can help me with tunning tv card ? If you know it please send me privete msg | 14:03 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I came in late and don't know if I can help but do you have 2 harddrives? one with windows and the other with ubuntu? | 14:03 |
| devilash | http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=http://www.urbandead.com | 14:03 |
| Treeh416 | sunizi: No | 14:03 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: Both are on the same HDD | 14:03 |
| devilash | Wrong window >.> | 14:03 |
| HAVOC_ | openbox | 14:03 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: I'm not sure if I even installed it correctly.. | 14:04 |
| odinsbane | devilash http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 14:04 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, and when you boot do you get a menu from grub? | 14:04 |
| ntolo | I have been using 8.04 for a while now but today i realise my sound is gone even when i restart it is not working. | 14:04 |
| xukun | How can I configure the monitor section for my xorg.conf so I can connect the s-video for my ati x300 card, I have 72cm wide-screen crt tv | 14:04 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: From the Ubuntu 8 installer I just went with the first option | 14:04 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: Yes, but Windows isn't listed | 14:04 |
| odinsbane | This tells you where to get the firmware and how to go about installing. | 14:04 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: I suspect that you have messed up an install. Do a re-install. | 14:04 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: It's gibberish to me...where would I enter that in? In terminal? | 14:04 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, the first option I think is "Use entire drive" .. does that ring a bell? | 14:04 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 go to your terminal type in fdisk -l | 14:04 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: I believe so. In guide I read it said it wouldn't format my HDD....so did it?/ | 14:05 |
| odinsbane | you should have say /dev/sda5 ????/NTFS | 14:05 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: Ok, one sec | 14:05 |
| devilash | odinsbane I think it's the firmware that I'm missing; it has to be. | 14:05 |
| barikulkol | hi | 14:05 |
| rian | Hi all, is there anywhere that explains how to set up audio input for ubuntu? | 14:05 |
| areels | can i use lxde instead gnome? | 14:05 |
| gorbierd | Anyone can help me with my touchpad problem? | 14:06 |
| scunizi | odinsbane, Treeh416 windows typically remains at the beginning of the drive (desktop) | 14:06 |
| xukun | anybody? | 14:06 |
| scunizi | sda1 | 14:06 |
| barikulkol | ubuntu hardy heron is great | 14:06 |
| Treeh416 | Guys, I'm not sure if this is significant, but whenI load up Ubuntu, for the first few seconds prior to the login screen everything is like a huge artifact on my screen | 14:06 |
| seriouslycgi | i updated to 8.04 server because of the ssh issues and now one of my disks wont work in ubuntu but they are ok in bios, how do i diagnose the disk? | 14:06 |
| barikulkol | but linux mint elyssa is better | 14:06 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, doesn't have anything to do with it. | 14:07 |
| Treeh416 | ok | 14:07 |
| metalpres | is 8.04 better than gutsy? i have been using gutsy for a long time with no problems and now everything is just breaking all over the place for no apparent reason, should i bother upgrading? | 14:07 |
| odinsbane | devilash that link I sent has pretty explicit instructions to getting the firmware. | 14:07 |
| zackyramone | can anyone help me set a web server? | 14:07 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, did you do what odinsbane asked? fdisk -l ? | 14:08 |
| barikulkol | yes it is better than gutsy, the bugs in nvidia onboard audio is fixed | 14:08 |
| aniket | how to automount my ntfs partiions ???? | 14:08 |
| Treeh416 | yes | 14:08 |
| Treeh416 | just now | 14:08 |
| Treeh416 | It said | 14:08 |
| Treeh416 | invalid option? | 14:08 |
| FloodBot3 | Treeh416: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:08 |
| hypn0 | metalpres: I'd wait for firefox 3 final to come out first | 14:08 |
| barikulkol | firefox beta 3 sucks | 14:08 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: I suspect that Windows is no longer on your harddisk. | 14:09 |
| barikulkol | crashes on youtube frequently | 14:09 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: Crap o.O | 14:09 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, the -l part is actually an "L" not a 1 (one) or an I (eye) | 14:09 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 it is an L | 14:09 |
| odinsbane | type in sudo fdisk -l | 14:09 |
| Treeh416 | Oh.. | 14:09 |
| rian | is there anywhere that explains how to set up audio input for ubuntu? | 14:09 |
| odinsbane | treeh416 I don't get any output unless I 'sudo fdisk -l' | 14:09 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: before you install OSes you must first study the matter. | 14:09 |
| odinsbane | rian are you using a dell vostros? | 14:10 |
| Treeh416 | ok it worked | 14:10 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I realize now XD | 14:10 |
| Treeh416 | I have | 14:10 |
| Treeh416 | sda1, sda2, and sda5 | 14:10 |
| Treeh416 | ....all linux | 14:10 |
| Treeh416 | damn >.> | 14:10 |
| rian | odinsbane: Sorry, I do not understand the question | 14:10 |
| devilash | odinsbane I still can't do it >.> | 14:10 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, That means you wiped out windows. | 14:10 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: proceed from the assumption that you have only Ubuntu on your harddisk. | 14:10 |
| rian | I have an Acer and using 804 | 14:11 |
| scunizi | odinsbane, I'm on a vostro.. with the audio prob.. | 14:11 |
| [swb] | I have a question folks: The debian SSL random number generator problem.. does this affect ubuntu systems? | 14:11 |
| Treeh416 | Ok.well...I'll re-install it | 14:11 |
| odinsbane | scunizi I recently got my mic working again. | 14:11 |
| AcornAcorn | How can I use the extra buttons on my keyboard? | 14:11 |
| Treeh416 | Guys, can you help me with more thing? | 14:11 |
| wizo | can anyone advise me of where the checkbox for dimming is? | 14:11 |
| wizo | i cant find it under power management | 14:11 |
| Treeh416 | I need to set up my wifi usb adapter in Linux...have NO idea how to go about doing this | 14:11 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, if you're adventurous., download VMWare server and install windows inside of that so you can run windows in a window in Ubuntu | 14:11 |
| rignes_ | [swb]: Yup, I had to update and regenerate my ssl keys. | 14:11 |
| === rignes_ is now known as rignes | ||
| Treeh416 | scunizi: I was planning to do exactly this | 14:12 |
| [swb] | rignes, is there an easy procedure to do this? | 14:12 |
| odinsbane | rian There was a problem with the vostros internal mic. Otherwise you should be able to set it up using alsa mixer. | 14:12 |
| [swb] | apt-get regenerate-all-my-broken-keys or something like that ;) | 14:12 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: Is VMWare better than Win4Lit ? | 14:12 |
| AcornAcorn | How can I use the extra buttons on my keyboard? | 14:12 |
| rian | odinsbane: Thanks, did that, butvery little luck | 14:13 |
| Ace2016 | press them | 14:13 |
| rignes | [swb]: I'm looking up the link right now | 14:13 |
| layo | hey,guys! | 14:13 |
| Ace2016 | hey | 14:13 |
| Steve-cal | Can someone tell me what the advantage/disadvantage is of using UUID to specify my drives to mount on startup in my fstab file? Why not simply specify the device as /dev/hdaX or similar? | 14:13 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I've never used Win4Lit, VMWare offers some usb support that some of the others don't. I've used it for about 1.5 yrs now | 14:13 |
| rian | odinsbane: It only works with the microphone jack, not the internal one | 14:13 |
| rignes | [swb]: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/13/openssh-openssh-vulnerabilities-confirm-fix-instructions/ | 14:13 |
| [swb] | Steve-cal, they may chanfge positions | 14:13 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, I need to be able to set them up | 14:13 |
| Ace2016 | oh | 14:13 |
| rignes | Sorry, probably should have tiny urled that. But you get the idea. ;) | 14:13 |
| Treeh416 | sunizi: Ok, great. Also, can you help me install a Siemens USB stick 108 WiFi adapter...I need an internet connection inside Ubuntu | 14:13 |
| === [Xorothal] is now known as Xorothal | ||
| [swb] | Steve-cal, for example, if you change master to slae or change the cable they are on, the sdX will change, so all your mountpoints and grub and boot image would be all wrong | 14:13 |
| odinsbane | rian lemme look at the file I editted. | 14:14 |
| AcornAcorn | I should be able to change what the shortcut keys on my keyboard do right? | 14:14 |
| [swb] | but with UUID you can move them to your hearts content and it will always mount them in the right place | 14:14 |
| aniket | how to automount my ntfs partiions ???? | 14:14 |
| rian | odinsbane: Thanks | 14:14 |
| Treeh416 | Sunizi: If worst comes to worst, I also have a robotics PCI wifi card I slot in...? | 14:14 |
| Ace2016 | AcornAcorn: open up a terminal and run xev, then press the extra buttons | 14:14 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: your plans exceed your capabilities. | 14:14 |
| layo | AcornAcorn, u should instrall the driver | 14:14 |
| Myrtti | aniket: with fstab | 14:14 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: To install a wifi adapter :O? | 14:14 |
| [swb] | some distros used to chanfge the sdXs seemingly randomly as well | 14:14 |
| Steve-cal | swb: OK I see. So to get the UUID I use the "blkid" command, correct? | 14:14 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, should I do that? or install the driver? | 14:14 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I can only tell you that when I use my lappy I have to tell it my networks ssid name every boot, then it connects.. as for installing drivers I'm not the one. | 14:15 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: learn first how to correctly install and OS. | 14:15 |
| Ace2016 | driver? | 14:15 |
| seriouslycgi | [swb], do you have to have the uuid? i removed it on one of my drives because of a superblock error or something i cant get the drive to mount | 14:15 |
| [swb] | Steve-cal, now you've lost me, I know why its there, but I dont know how to use it properly! | 14:15 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, I don't think it would be possible to find a driver for the keyboard | 14:15 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I know...but this is somewhat urgent...I have school work to do...need an internet connection >.> | 14:15 |
| [swb] | I dont understand it fully, I am much more comfortable with just sdXs | 14:15 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I guess I should go install Windows..huh? | 14:15 |
| [swb] | which is a shame | 14:15 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, you may just be able to plug it in (if external) then set the ssid and go. | 14:15 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: You have Ubuntu on your harddisk so use that. | 14:15 |
| [swb] | I saw something good on the net describing how to use it properly though, suggest you google it | 14:15 |
| wizo | BuFF: i cannot find dim under power management. there is only two tabs, one is On AC Power, the other is General | 14:16 |
| aniket | Myrtti, isnt't there any GUI way of doing it? | 14:16 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: Yes, I want to. But I need an internet conncetion... | 14:16 |
| [swb] | seriouslycgi, afaik you dont need to use it | 14:16 |
| Ace2016 | why do you need a driver? the keyboard sends which buttons were pressed to linux, linux then needs to asign commands for the key presses, although sometimes the keys may not register but usually you just need the drivers | 14:16 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 my recommendation, install windows and wipe out ubuntu, then install ubuntu and make sure you partition the drive with windows and linux | 14:16 |
| Steve-cal | swb: OK, no problem, thanks for the info though. :) | 14:16 |
| [swb] | as long as you have the right sd or hd number and you a have that in /etc/fstab | 14:16 |
| Myrtti | aniket: if there are, I don't know about them | 14:16 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 that is the easiest way because windows does not play well with others. | 14:16 |
| Ace2016 | i mean usually you just need to asign commands *** | 14:16 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, odinsbane 's probably right if you have urgent school work to do.. it might take time getting wireless to work.. | 14:17 |
| aniket | Myrtti, k so how to configre my fstab? | 14:17 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: It takes time to install Windows :( | 14:17 |
| BuFF | wizo: http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotpowermanagemeeh6.png | 14:17 |
| Myrtti | !fstab | aniket | 14:17 |
| ubottu | aniket: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:17 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: Can we quickly try to set up wireless..and if that doesn't work...I'll resort to windows | 14:17 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, last attempt 3 hours for me. | 14:17 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 type in iwconfig | 14:17 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, let odinsbane help there .. I'm not good with wireless | 14:18 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: No wireless extensions | 14:18 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi: Ok | 14:18 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: it will take more time than you have. | 14:18 |
| Treeh416 | sunzini: thanks anway | 14:18 |
| scunizi | np | 14:18 |
| wizo | BuFF: i do not have battery power option :( | 14:18 |

| ledmushroom | ok is there a app or somthing that would let me join voice in a yahoo pm or any other app that would let me talk via mic | 14:18 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 you have an external card? I have two, one I plug in and it works, the other one...well it is a netgear card and it is easy to get working. | 14:18 |
| wizo | BuFF: is it because i have unplugged my battery power? | 14:18 |
| bazhang | babolat, aye | 14:19 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: find a friend who can help you. | 14:19 |
| wizo | i mean, i took out my battery | 14:19 |
| babolat | a'yt thanks | 14:19 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: I have a USB one...and I have a PCI card if the USB one doesn'twork... | 14:19 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I'm considerd the most techy guy of the peopleI know...theres no one I know that even knows what Linux is... | 14:19 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, how about xmodmap? | 14:19 |
| Rockj | Hi, im having an Intel HD audio card, why does applications steal the audio input/output's? I need to kill the running application who uses the sound before I can use it in another application. If im going to watch a video on youtube, I have to kill amarok first and restart all applications. Its QUITE annoying.. | 14:19 |
| BuFF | wizo: maybe | 14:19 |
| scunizi | babolat, looks like you don't have a router is that right? | 14:19 |
| wizo | hmmm | 14:19 |
| wizo | ok i shall power off and power it on again | 14:19 |
| magnetron | babolat: you can use http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ next time, it's very useful | 14:19 |
| wizo | cyas later BuFF | 14:20 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 who makes the cards? | 14:20 |
| robg_ | Treeh416: first learn how to correctly install an OS. | 14:20 |
| Rockj | I've searched and readed that maybe alsa had some fix for this? like running an alsa daemon to solve multiple sound output? | 14:20 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: USB= 108 stick by Siemens, PCI: Some model by U.S. Robotics | 14:20 |
| [swb] | Rockj, click preferences in the gnome meny | 14:20 |
| [swb] | menu | 14:20 |
| [swb] | and go to audio | 14:20 |
| Treeh416 | robg_: I will...over the summer...I have 2 weeks of school left and reallydon't have the time | 14:20 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 plug in the pci card and type iwconfig | 14:20 |
| Treeh416 | Ok...need to shutdown...brb | 14:20 |
| [swb] | try setting the sound playback to ESD and/or alsa | 14:20 |
| [swb] | and test again | 14:21 |
| babolat | cool site magnetron | 14:21 |
| [swb] | if one doenst work, try the other | 14:21 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 wait | 14:21 |
| [swb] | also on the sounds tab make sure enable ESD sound mixing is ticket | 14:21 |
| [swb] | ticked | 14:21 |
| Rockj | [swb], sound capture is set to ALSA. ESD sound mixing is ticked. default mixer is HDA Intel which probably got bad drivers after what I read on the internet | 14:22 |
| Rockj | try another mixer? | 14:22 |
| [swb] | Rockj, try setting play back to ESD first | 14:23 |
| Rockj | I can pick realtek alc855 (OSS mixer), playback : alsa PCM on front:0 .. hmf, I dont have anything connected at front so I guess thats wrong one. capture: monitour source of alsa pcm. front:0 | 14:23 |
| devilash | odinsbane would it be easier if I used 'ndiswrapper'? | 14:23 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 I was checking for the drivers but you could just try it. | 14:23 |
| [swb] | OSS is the suck | 14:23 |
| === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal | ||
| odinsbane | devilash ndiswrappers wasn't that hard. There seem to be better tutorials out there. | 14:23 |
| Rockj | [swb], now im playing music in amarok, and the test button is working. let me try if it works with firefox..but I havent changed anything.. | 14:24 |
| ntolo | How can a get the sound back in 8.04? All of a sudden the sound is gone and even when i restart its still gone. | 14:24 |
| Rockj | [swb], no sound output from firefox when amarok or something else got the soundinput. | 14:24 |
| odinsbane | devilash did you check that link I put up, it goes through the process of installing the firmware. | 14:24 |
| Steve-cal | Rockj: Try using ALSA with the "dmix" mixer (default mixer), and then in your audio programs make sure if there is an option to select the ALSA device use "default" instead of hd:0,0 or the name of your audio card. If you select your audio card, the program talks to it directly, i.e. 'monopolizes' it so other apps can't use the soundcard. | 14:25 |
| devilash | odinsbane Yeah, it didn't work for me. | 14:25 |
| robg_ | ntolo: | 14:25 |
| jrib | ntolo: this just happened to me. Maybe you are having the same issue: double click on the spearker icon and make sure PCM's volume is not zero | 14:25 |
| robg_ | ntolo: you may consider going to medibuntu.org and install the repository (Pulse Audio). | 14:25 |
| [swb] | Rockj, I think perhaps the flash plugin for firefox has its own set of sound sharing issues | 14:25 |
| [swb] | try testing with amarok and xmms to rule that out | 14:25 |

| odinsbane | devilash I have the ndis tutorial here Ill take a look at it. | 14:28 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: It found the card | 14:29 |
| gescape | hi | 14:29 |
| mnemo | icewaterman: that sounds bad, you should probably e-mail the ubuntu kernel team at kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com and ask them | 14:29 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: what do I do now? | 14:29 |
| Rockj | [swb], sorry for slow response, trying to figure out how xmms2 works.. heh.. | 14:29 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 sudo iwlist eth? scan | 14:29 |
| Rockj | before it was like winamp.. | 14:29 |
| icewaterman | mnemo: the reason is usually because some ancient cpus will crash in case you use a pae enabled kernel | 14:29 |
| bazhang | audacious is more similar Rockj | 14:30 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 do you have encryption on the wireless? | 14:30 |
| Treeh416 | "interface doesn't support scanning" | 14:30 |
| icewaterman | but since ubuntu doesnt work well on anything <i686 that should not be a problem | 14:30 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: no | 14:30 |
| [swb] | Rockj, Steve-cal sounds like he knows more than me anyway | 14:30 |
| Rockj | bazhang, ahh, there we have it :) | 14:30 |
| bazhang | :) | 14:30 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 when you do the list it will show you all of the available networks. | 14:30 |
| Rockj | [swb], Ill just try playing with two different sources first - incase it is the flash plugin... | 14:30 |
| mnemo | icewaterman: i think ubuntu kernel team just decided to drop support for everything except x86 and x64 so maybe now is a good time to activate the NX stuff as well then | 14:31 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: Just did, I didn't have roaming enabled | 14:31 |
| phantom1 | By the way 64 bit Ubuntu has stil sostopers like no flash? | 14:31 |
| phantom1 | ...... | 14:31 |
| Rockj | ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | 14:31 |
| Rockj | MADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin | 14:31 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: It found my router as well | 14:31 |
| bazhang | phantom1, flash has probs in 32bit | 14:31 |
| seishinbyou | well, I am on 64bit and flash is still messy | 14:31 |
| knation | How can i set startup program in terminal? | 14:31 |
| icewaterman | mnemo: it definately is | 14:31 |
| bazhang | knation, why not gui | 14:32 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 sudo iwconfig eth? essid "routername" | 14:32 |
| Rockj | [swb], mhm, I had to kill amarok first before audacious could play the file . so probably I have to reroute so application doesnt talk directtly to output device. | 14:32 |
| icewaterman | mnemo: since this is security related i'll post a security bug. | 14:32 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 sudo dhclient eth? | 14:32 |
| phantom1 | Are there other problems to or manly flash | 14:32 |
| gescape | what is the name of the package you need to install to get the utility to import photos from the digi camera? I saw this in Gnome on Fedora when you were connecting the camera it lunches automatically and allows you to import photos and delete them from the camera. My Ubuntu just mounts the memory stick :( | 14:32 |
| knation | bazhang, just I wonder | 14:32 |
| [swb] | gescape, strange, it should give you the option first | 14:32 |
| [swb] | to import them | 14:32 |
| scunizi | gescape, use fspot | 14:32 |
| seishinbyou | I used the 64bit just so I could get hdd data transfer rates that were acceptable | 14:32 |
| mnemo | icewaterman: yes, and also point out that they can turn it off on systems which doesn't support it, they don't have to turn it off for everyone | 14:32 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416, the essid is case sensitive and if you have spaces in the names surround it with quotes. | 14:32 |
| [swb] | I thought it did this "out of the box" so to speak | 14:33 |
| gescape | swb it does not :( | 14:33 |
| seishinbyou | the 32bit didn't like my system | 14:33 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, I'm going to try lineak | 14:33 |
| thehurley | hello | 14:33 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: "keeps saying no such device | 14:33 |
| gescape | scunizi, but that was so handy | 14:33 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: in the GUI, I connected to the router...but pages aren't loading | 14:33 |
| gescape | scunizi, and I do not want to use the fspot | 14:33 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 are you doing eth? or eth1 that is your wireless device | 14:33 |
| Pheonix | How can I install ubuntu as a windows program? | 14:33 |
| pim | hi | 14:33 |

| Treeh416 | "eth?" | 14:34 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 ping your router. | 14:34 |
| pim | Maybe you could use a virtual machine | 14:34 |
| phantom1 | Pheonix:Wubi is included in thew cd | 14:34 |
| gescape | swb it does not ask, it just mounts the camera mem :( | 14:34 |
| Rockj | [swb], now it works. I edited amarok to specify alsa as output and not autodetect. so now both amarok and audacious is playing music. trying with firefox now :) | 14:34 |
| boy_chn | does somebody have GAMBAS tutorial??? | 14:34 |
| Treeh416 | wait what? | 14:34 |

| Pheonix | Thank you! | 14:36 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 type ifconfig | 14:36 |
| Rockj | Steve-cal, do you have any trick up your sleeve for fixing firefox and flash plugin too maybe? :) | 14:36 |
| scunizi | aguitel, he/she might be 10yrs old ... careful | 14:36 |
| Treeh416 | command not found o.O | 14:36 |
| [swb] | Rockj, did you set also as output for all type of playback in the configurator thing? | 14:36 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 then look for your ip address. | 14:36 |

| Treeh416 | I entered in my ip manually | 14:36 |
| robg_ | thehurley: If you install Ubuntu Alternate then it is smart to choose the LVM Encrypted option. You will need a live internet connection during the install. | 14:36 |
| Treeh416 | in the GUI for networks.. | 14:36 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 ifconfig is not found!? | 14:36 |
| wizo | oh nvm | 14:36 |
| Steve-cal | Rockj: Which firefox/flashplayer versions? | 14:36 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: Yep. | 14:36 |
| efu | what's the advantage of using the 64 bit hardy compared to the 32 bit? I'm considering installing 64 bit, as I've heard it's quite trouble free now | 14:37 |
| thehurley | robg_, i did that, but it only creates swap, /boot and / | 14:37 |
| scunizi | odinsbane, do you want ifconfig or iwconfig? | 14:37 |
| aguitel | scunizi: ok | 14:37 |
| Rockj | Steve-cal, firefox3 and nonfree flash version. | 14:37 |
| thehurley | robg_, everything goes into / | 14:37 |
| boy_chn | actually, whre is the location of installed program in ubuntu??? | 14:37 |
| boy_chn | actually, where is the location of installed program in ubuntu??? | 14:37 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 that doesn't sound correct ifconfig is nescessary for internet. | 14:37 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, it doesn't react to the buttons | 14:37 |
| thehurley | robg_, the debian installer for LVM auto creates /tmp /usr /home aswell | 14:37 |
| odinsbane | scunizi I mean ifconfig to get his ip address so he can ping his router. | 14:38 |
| gescape | swb, does it work on your sys? | 14:38 |
| boy_chn | actually, where is the location of installed program in ubuntu??? | 14:38 |
| === hexdec is now known as akazawa | ||
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, one of the buttons starts evolution, but with xev it doesn't give a key code | 14:38 |
| aguitel | scunizi: i do not support heard about windoze | 14:38 |
| robg_ | thehurley: Alternate is a single boot OEM version. It takes the whole drive. | 14:38 |
| knation | Does anyone know: How can I set startup program up instead of Sessions whatever? | 14:38 |
| scunizi | boy_chn, depends on the program.. | 14:38 |
| Rockj | [swb], and Steve-cal : forcing all output to alsa in system-preferences does the trick :-) | 14:38 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: It says I'm connected to my router, and I have even bars indicating strength of the signal....why isn't it working? | 14:38 |
| Rockj | for everything :-) | 14:38 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 when you type 'iwconfig' what device is your wireless. | 14:38 |
| Steve-cal | Rockj: Good, ALSA is what you should be using for everything. :) | 14:39 |
| odinsbane | ie eth1 or eth1 or even ath1 | 14:39 |
| Ace2016 | AcornAcorn: try xbindkeys -mk | 14:39 |
| thehurley | robg_, yer I saw that, i'm looking for a guide to change that during the install, or to repartition the volumes after the install is complete | 14:39 |
| jake_ | Hello all, could I have some help troubleshooting my NIC on wubi install of Ubuntu 8.04 please? | 14:39 |
| Treeh416 | wlan 0 | 14:39 |
| Rockj | Steve-cal, I thought it was used as default, because ievv been messing around with OSS before :P | 14:39 |
| [swb] | Rockj, glad to hear it :) | 14:39 |
| odinsbane | And does it say ESSID:"yourouter" | 14:39 |
| robg_ | thehurley: forget it. Not possible. If you wish to edit paritions then opt for Desktop version. | 14:39 |
| [swb] | its fun to be able to fix other people problems | 14:40 |
| boy_chn | scunizi: for any of program | 14:40 |
| boy_chn | scunizi: for any of program usually installed in?? | 14:40 |
| Rockj | finally I can view youtube links and such without having to kill applications to let them steal sound resource . hehe. | 14:40 |
| Steve-cal | Rockj: In theory, yes, in practice, maybe not. ;) | 14:40 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: Wlan0: IEE 802.11b+/g+ and then a bunch of other stuff | 14:40 |
| Rockj | Steve-cal, :) | 14:40 |
| wizo | anyone knows how to remove grub and install the vista bootloader? | 14:40 |
| thehurley | robg_, its for a laptop i travell with alot, if the debian installer can do it, it can be done | 14:40 |
| icewaterman | ok, seems the bug was reported years ago already and there has been no fix. my time is better spent not reporting it | 14:40 |
| AcornAcorn | Ace2016, ok, says i need to make a file | 14:40 |
| thehurley | robg_, ill get it done somehow :) | 14:40 |

| roxahris | was it .kasaki? | 14:41 |
| scunizi | thehurley, with a gparted live cd you could do some repartitioning.. best to back up /home though.. | 14:41 |
| emma | icewaterman: what is the bug? I will report it for you. | 14:41 |
| roxahris | oh | 14:41 |

| [swb] | but I use it for general applicatino installs that dont conform to the deb/ubuntu standards of directory structure | 14:42 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 when you run dhclient it will spit out a bunch of things and afterwards you should get an ip | 14:42 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: IT WORKS | 14:42 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane: YAY :D | 14:42 |
| boy_chn | [swb]: what do you mean?? can you explain more??? | 14:42 |

| scunizi | Treeh416, did you write down or can remember what odinsbane guidance was? that way when you reboot if you need to you can "self activate" :) | 14:43 |
| bzaks | Is there a way I can force my nvidia card to only output to one port? I don't wanna have to play in my Xorg.conf | 14:43 |
| [swb] | boy_chn, in ubuntu applications install themsevles every where, executable files go int /usr/bin or /bin configuration files in /etc application data in /usr/share I think and libraries in /usr/lib/ | 14:43 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 when you start the gui wireless manager you might have to sudo it. | 14:43 |
| [swb] | some applications however | 14:43 |

| [swb] | like azuresues, install ina more windows like manner, with everything to do with application in one directory | 14:43 |

| bzaks | Treeh416: I guess we're not supposed to use Automatix anymore: so if you want to install it, just download it from http://www.vmware.com (get the server edition) | 14:47 |

| IcyPolecat | anybody know if it is possible to serve files over usb using ubuntu server? | 14:56 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, might have the fix built in for hardy.. by the way the easy way to type a nick is the first few characters then hit tab.. if it's misspelled It won't highlight | 14:56 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, woah..450mb..quite a bit bigger than the other version | 15:01 |
| devilash | odinsbane I've got no idea what my driver directory is | 15:01 |
| robg_ | abramson: all machines are different. If you can force your machine to boot from thet drive then it is possible otherwise it is not. | 15:01 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, while you're waiting do a sudo apt-get install build-essential ... you'll need it to install | 15:01 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Ok | 15:01 |
| odinsbane | devilash what step are you on? | 15:02 |
| abramson | tried, couldnt boot from hdd | 15:02 |
| === jagggy1 is now known as jagggy | ||
| Treeh416 | scunizi, done :) | 15:02 |
| devilash | odinsbane 4 | 15:02 |
| odinsbane | devilash it is the directory where you just unzipped the .exe file. | 15:03 |
| Sonderblade | is there an apt or dpkg command to get a description of a package? | 15:03 |
| robg_ | abramson: consider another organisation of your system. In time you will have to re-install anyway. | 15:03 |
| devilash | Right | 15:03 |
| abramson | robg_: wat u mean by that? | 15:03 |
| devilash | odinsbane and what folder would that be? | 15:04 |
| devilash | odinsbane I just did 'unzip -a R151517.exe' | 15:04 |
| Ziroday | Sonderblade: you will get a short description with apt-cache search <package> | 15:04 |
| miamimike | mikemiami | 15:04 |
| miamimike | Hi | 15:04 |
| odinsbane | you did unzip ????.exe ? | 15:04 |
| abramson | odinsbane: you can, that's windows only | 15:04 |
| robg_ | abramson: people re-install their systems several times per year for all sorts of reasons. Plan for future re-installs and for future failures. | 15:05 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, with build-essential or the download? | 15:05 |
| Sonderblade | Ziroday: yeah.. but not exactly what i want | 15:05 |
| odinsbane | devilash type ls | 15:05 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, build-essential...but just finished download | 15:05 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, should I extract the files? | 15:05 |
| Ziroday | Sonderblade: sorry am slow tonight, apt-cache show <packagename> | 15:06 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, yes | 15:06 |
| devilash | odinsbane I can see the R151517.exe, but I can't see any folder that I could've extracted it to. | 15:06 |
| odinsbane | devilash it should have extracted the files to that folder. | 15:06 |
| devilash | Okay | 15:06 |
| Sonderblade | Ziroday: thanks | 15:06 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, done...click the installer- right? | 15:06 |
| odinsbane | devilash so do this. mkdir temp, cp R????.exe temp | 15:06 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, my download should be done in a couple of minutes.. I just started it.. wait and we'll install together.. I've never installed the beta. | 15:07 |
| AcornAcorn | how do you see what packages you've installed starting with the most recent ones? | 15:07 |
| Ziroday | Sonderblade: no problem | 15:07 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Ok, great =] | 15:07 |
| odinsbane | devilash then go to the tmp directory and type unzip -a R??.exe | 15:07 |
| odinsbane | devilash When I did that it made a directory called DRIVER | 15:07 |
| devilash | odinsbane Done :) | 15:08 |
| U-Gutsy-Gibbon | hello room, i want to fresh install 7.10 and how will i backup all the packages and downloads ive installed so that when i finish setup i will restore them without internet connection | 15:08 |
| rhb | ok, I really don't know how I've screwed my sound, nor how to fix it .. all I know is that it's somehow related to libasound and/or pulseaudio :/ | 15:08 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, 1/2 way there.. clipping along at 900+ KB/sec | 15:09 |
| jrib | rhb: this just happened to me. Maybe you are having the same issue: double click on the spearker icon and make sure PCM's volume is not zero | 15:09 |
| AcornAcorn | how do you see what packages you've installed starting with the most recent ones? | 15:09 |
| Chapai | U-Gutsy-Gibbon, apton cd allows you to backup your apps on cd and install from there | 15:09 |
| robg_ | U-Gutsy-Gibbon: Why not upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 ? | 15:09 |
| U-Gutsy-Gibbon | robg_, i'm a starter so i think i'll learn from 7.10 first before upgrading | 15:10 |
| Chapai | depends on what you used to install packageds, if you use aptitude check /var/log/aptitude AcornAcorn there is hisotry in synaptics | 15:10 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, awesome :D | 15:10 |
| robg_ | U-Gutsy-Gibbon: nonsense get the best stuff. | 15:10 |
| rhb | jrib, already checked - that's not it unfortunately. anything that tries to play sound either "hangs" (doesn't play, but doesn't do much else), or crashes.. | 15:11 |
| U-Gutsy-Gibbon | hehe | 15:11 |
| jrib | !sound > rhb (read the private message from ubottu) | 15:11 |
| odinsbane | devilash, is this wireless card an external card? | 15:11 |
| Xorothal | how can i allow non-root users to listen on port 80? | 15:11 |
| rhb | jrib, already checked as much as I can. unfortunately that documentation is mostly for soundcard problems or ALSA, not pulse | 15:11 |
| U-Gutsy-Gibbon | Chapai, aptonCD list them, but it doesnt list additional applications like screem editor or xchatetc. | 15:12 |
| rhb | I know the card is working, because I've had working sound since feisty until now, when I started screwing with things myself (bad mistake) | 15:12 |
| AcornAcorn | Chapai, the history doesn't really show much | 15:12 |
| jrib | rhb: you might want to describe exactly what you did | 15:12 |
| robg_ | U-Gutsy-Gibbon: advise install ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso in LVM encrypted mode. | 15:12 |
| odinsbane | rhb are you using alsa? | 15:12 |
| devilash | odinsbane no, it's intergrated | 15:12 |
| AcornAcorn | Chapai, I'm mainly worried about things i installed with apt-get | 15:12 |
| wikzo | I got some problems about deleting a folder with sudo in command line. I type "sudo rmdir [folder]", but then it tells me that the folder isn't empty. How do I delete it? | 15:12 |
| rhb | odinsbane, no, hardy - so pulseaudio | 15:12 |
| jrib | wikzo: rm -r | 15:12 |
| Chapai | did you check /var/log/aptitude | 15:12 |
| jrib | !cli > wikzo (read the private message from ubottu) | 15:12 |
| U-Gutsy-Gibbon | Chapai, me ? | 15:13 |
| rhb | jrib, well, it's a bit complex, as this saga has now been ongoing for a few hours, but.. i was trying to get sound working under wine, which involved installing a few packages outside the repo related to asound, which I think caused the mess I'm currently in. I tried to --purge and reinstall everything related to pulse and asound, but that also hasn't helped.. | 15:13 |
| Chapai | not you U-Gutsy-Gibbon | 15:13 |
| wikzo | jrib: Thank you | 15:13 |
| rhb | jrib, in short, I was an idiot :) | 15:14 |
| devilash | odinsbane I've hit another error. I'm supposed to do 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf' but it can't open the file because no such file exists. | 15:14 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, In the mean time..can you explain what the whole "sudo" thing means? | 15:14 |
| odinsbane | devilash did you change to the DRIVER directory? | 15:14 |
| Xorothal | how can i allow non-root users to listen on port 80? | 15:14 |
| odinsbane | devilash the bcml5.inf was included in the R??.exe file. | 15:15 |
| devilash | odinsbane Yeah, I'm in ~/temp$ | 15:15 |
| devilash | I believe so. | 15:15 |
| Xorothal | >>> how can i allow non-root users to listen on port 80? | 15:15 |
| stu | I attempted to re-install alsa from source as my sound wasn't working very well... now I have no sound, can anyone help me out? the output of alsamixer is alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 15:15 |
| odinsbane | devilash so change to ~/temp/DRIVER | 15:15 |
| MrBashir | anyone know of a channel dedicated for Axigen mail server? | 15:15 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, sudo is protection. It's kinda liike all the pop up in vista .. sudo gives you administrative root privlidges to install, change the system etc.. | 15:15 |
| stu | asoundconf list shows no output | 15:15 |
| devilash | odinsbane okay | 15:15 |
| Chapai | Xorothal, isn't port 80 opened by default for http | 15:15 |
| odinsbane | stu try sudo alsa | 15:15 |
| Jav13r_ | how can i test my terminal bell? | 15:16 |
| devilash | still can't do it. | 15:16 |
| odinsbane | stu I think the whole command is sudo alsa restart | 15:16 |
| devilash | odinsbane Still can't do it. | 15:16 |
| odinsbane | devilash type ls | 15:16 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Aha....in a much less annoying way XD | 15:16 |
| Xorothal | Chapai, but virtualbox seems not to like binding to it unless running as root | 15:16 |

| AcornAcorn | Chapai, there must be an easy way of cleaning up packages that you installed but don't really need | 15:17 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, yes.. you ready to start? go to a terminal and type cd Desktop to get into your desktop directory (that's where you uncompressed the prog right?) | 15:17 |

| saxofoner | hi everyone, I successfully installed vmware server, and then xp inside of vmware server, but now when I run "install vmware tools" nothing happens, the virt. cd never mounts. | 15:26 |

| legend2440 | Jav13r_: right click speaker on top panel>Open Volume Control see if pc speaker is listed with slider and make sure its not muted | 15:27 |
| AcornAcorn | Chapai, very | 15:27 |
| odinsbane | devilash what happened when you did the sudo ndiswrapper -l | 15:27 |
| Broadcom | devilash: undo everything you have done before and do this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 15:27 |
| devilash | odinsbane it said 'bcmwl5: driver installed' | 15:27 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I haven't looked at them.. install is usually pretty easy.. sometimes they will conflict with compiz | 15:28 |
| Chapai | ok, AcornAcorn do you have application, places, system on your panel which should be there by default unless you removed it | 15:28 |
| devilash | broadcom I'm a bit of a noobie when it comes to linux, how do I undo everything I've done? | 15:28 |
| AcornAcorn | Chapai, yeah, just put it on the bar | 15:28 |
| Broadcom | devilash: it depends, what have you done? | 15:28 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Ok..if I have problems I'll come back here :P | 15:28 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, I'll get vmware installedfirst though :P | 15:28 |

| AcornAcorn | i didn't have permission to open the log file | 15:29 |
| odinsbane | did you do the modprobe and put the ndiswrapper in you /etc/modules file? | 15:29 |
| devilash | odinsbane I believe so. | 15:29 |
| odinsbane | devilash type more /etc/modules | grep ndis | 15:30 |
| AcornAcorn | Chapai, i didn't have permission to open the log file | 15:30 |
| Treeh416 | Ok | 15:30 |
| Broadcom | devilash: this is all you did? | 15:30 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, it's done and extracted | 15:31 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, in termal how do I return to the desktop directory? | 15:31 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, nvm | 15:31 |
| devilash | odins bane I got 'nidswrapper ndiswrapper ndiswrapper' in the list | 15:32 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, nvm? what's that | 15:32 |
| odinsbane | devilash you might need to edit the blacklist file and edit the /etc/modules to remove the two lines you have added to those. | 15:32 |
| devilash | odinsbane and how does I do that? o.O | 15:32 |
| VousDeux | hello: I'm having an issue with Ubuntu that I don't seem to be having much luck finding help with...when I login, I get an error stating that there was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon | 15:32 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, It means nevermind. Ok, It's asking me where to install the binary files | 15:32 |
| legend2440 | Jav13r_: did you check in volume control if pc speaker was enabled? | 15:32 |
| VousDeux | I cannot seem to find anything more about it in any of the logs | 15:32 |
| odinsbane | devilash doe what broadcom says first then type sudo pico /etc/modules | 15:32 |
| Jav13r_ | legend2440: i play mp3's just fine | 15:32 |
| saxofoner | never mind, I fixed my vm tools | 15:33 |

| legend2440 | Jav13r_: not through the pc speaker. the little speaker inside the computer case is what beeps not your stereo speakers | 15:33 |
| Kevin` | what cause this can? | 15:33 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, ah.. you got it going already.. nice.. at some point it will ask about what directories will have the vm files.. as in the installed virtual machine.. I change it to /home/<user_name>/vmware | 15:33 |
| cylux | Hey guys, I have hardy heron on my box and I have a problem that basically after a few hours of running, my system almost freezes. The apps I have running are mostly unresponsive and I can't open any new new ones. If I even try pkill at the command line, it hands. The only remedy is a reboot. Anyone else having this problem? | 15:34 |
| odinsbane | Broadcom I was telling him how to remove what he had just did. | 15:34 |
| Jav13r_ | legend2440: im running ubuntu under vmware. how could i check that speaker in this case? | 15:34 |
| Broadcom | odinsbane: ok, thanks | 15:34 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Ok I wrote /home/rob/vmware and it said that it doesnt exist currently and that it will create it | 15:34 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, that's ok, right? | 15:34 |
| VousDeux | after I close the warning, everything seems to be working, except for the wheel on my mouse, but eventually if I leave the computer unattended it will freeze | 15:34 |
| odinsbane | Broadcom the tutorial has you manually edit the /etc/modules and add ndis... stuff | 15:34 |
| devilash | odinsbane broadcom 'sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils' 'ndiswrapper-utils is not installed, so not removed' | 15:34 |
| legend2440 | Jav13r_: sorry no idea about vmware | 15:34 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, yes | 15:34 |
| robg_ | cylux: if the OS cannot be repaired then you will have to re-install. Takes 1 to 2 hours. | 15:35 |
| Broadcom | devilash: that is fine | 15:35 |
| Broadcom | devilash: do what odinsbane told you to do now | 15:35 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, "What is the directory that contains the init directory (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? [/etc] | 15:35 |
| cylux | robg_: This is not an isolated problem, I've installed heron on one other desktop and a lap-top and they all suffer from similar symptoms. | 15:35 |
| VousDeux | everything was working fine in Feisty, but I upgraded to Gutsy and started seeing problems...I upgraded to Hardy thinking it might help, but it didn't | 15:35 |
| Kevin` | anyone? | 15:35 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, /etc | 15:35 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, just hit enter | 15:35 |
| devilash | Right... odinsbane so what do I do now? | 15:36 |
| robg_ | cylux: i have installed many Ubuntus and never had a problem. | 15:36 |

| timr92 | any help | 15:37 |
| timr92 | ?? | 15:37 |

| Simonft | sorry about that, i am back | 15:38 |
| timr92 | pureftpd cant connect to mysql, and i think i have configured it correctly | 15:38 |
| odinsbane | devilash in the tutorial when you do echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules that just puts the text ndiswrapper at the last line of the textfile modules | 15:38 |
| robg_ | cylux: there may be hardware that causes problems. That problem exists with Windows too. | 15:38 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, I got to the networking part | 15:38 |
| cylux | robg_: Nope | 15:39 |
| odinsbane | devilash so you should remove that line. maybe the easiest would be to type, sudo gedit /etc/modules | 15:39 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, "Do you want networking for your virtualmachines" | 15:39 |

| Simonft1 | !minimal | DannyV | 15:40 |
| ubottu | DannyV: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

| snivek | Has anyone had issues with Hardy hanging every 60 seconds or so running off a battery on a laptop? | 15:47 |
| Toznoshio | How can I configure a browser (any browser really) to only accept HTTP responses from the site I'm visiting (thereby rejecting ads hosted by third parties, stat counters etc.) ... I'm aware that I'll end up with a very crippled browser if I do this, but that's OK, it's not going to be my main browser, just a browser for the occasional ultra-secure stuff | 15:47 |
| phantom1 | Please Help | 15:48 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, not displaying anything...still transferring data ..? | 15:48 |
| Simonft1 | Toznoshio: what are you trying to do, hack? | 15:48 |
| xintron | Toznoshio: lynx ;) | 15:48 |
| amenado | or w3m | 15:48 |
| devilash | odinsbane Right, I've done that. What now? | 15:48 |
| DrGamut | Is there a common software configuration on VPS linux hosts that limits the transfer rate of files over FTP/HTTP to individual clients? I bought hosting with 24mbit of bandwidth, and it uploads at more than that speed when running torrents and such, but when I download from it on my home computer I only get about 150 KB/s. | 15:48 |
| Toznoshio | Simonft1, no, just be ultra-safe online | 15:48 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, Ok, great | 15:49 |
| Toznoshio | xintron, lynx does that? | 15:49 |
| legend2440 | eyyYo: have you checked in system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts to make sure nothing in there is assigned ctrl+f? | 15:49 |
| xintron | Toznoshio: lynx is textbased :) | 15:49 |
| Dalle | hi | 15:49 |
| zanberdo | I'd like to write a script that dynamically loads an app at login based on whether or not I am running on battery or not (similar to the way disk checking iwll be suppressed when booting while on battery power). Can anyone suggest how I might programmatically identify when I'm running on battery power? | 15:50 |
| eyyYo | legend2440, yes | 15:50 |
| snivek | Has anyone had issues with Hardy hanging every 60 seconds or so running off a battery on a laptop? | 15:50 |
| Dalle | hmm | 15:51 |
| Kevin` | zanberdo: /proc/acpu/battery/whatever | 15:51 |
| Kevin` | acpi* | 15:51 |
| legend2440 | eyyYo: is package xbindkeys installed? | 15:51 |
| zanberdo | snivek: I'm running kubuntu hardy on battery on my lenovo lappy withont any delays... | 15:51 |
| Xcell | wich gl is best for 7.10?? | 15:52 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, just finished .. give me a sec to investigate | 15:52 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, ok | 15:52 |
| devilash | Still there, odinsbane? | 15:52 |
| zanberdo | Kevin`: excellent, thank you. I figured it was something to do with /proc, but wasn't sure what... | 15:53 |
| Wires | I've got a file called INSTALL after I extracted a tar file... what am I supposed to do with it? lol | 15:53 |
| Wires | there's no configure file in the directory or whatever | 15:53 |
| linxeh | Wires: read it | 15:53 |
| Hacksign | arch，how can i change my system fonts? | 15:53 |
| snivek | zanberdo: I am running Ubuntu and it get regular hangs on battery. I have issues with complete locks occasionally. When that occurs my caps and scroll lock keys flash in sync | 15:53 |
| jrib | Wires: read it :) What are you installing? | 15:53 |
| Wires | ah | 15:53 |
| linxeh | Wires: less INSTALL | 15:53 |
| Wires | that makes sense :P | 15:53 |
| odinsbane | devilash somewhat. | 15:53 |
| Xcell | hey: which gl is best for 7.10 | 15:53 |
| funkyhat | Wires: what are you installing? | 15:53 |
| linxeh | Xcell: which gl ? | 15:53 |
| devilash | odinsbane Well, I did what you said and removed the lines. What should I do now? | 15:53 |
| odinsbane | devilash now go through the tutorial broadcom sent you. | 15:53 |
| Xcell | open gl | 15:54 |
| odinsbane | make sure you save the file. | 15:54 |
| Simonft1 | devilash: i am broadcom | 15:54 |
| linxeh | Xcell: "opengl" is probably the best. the implementation, well, that depends on your graphics card | 15:54 |
| zanberdo | snivek: what laptop manufacturer? | 15:54 |
| snivek | zanberdo: dell d620 | 15:54 |
| Xcell | ok..what version in the repros will work | 15:54 |
| Xcell | ? | 15:54 |
| Xcell | just opengl | 15:55 |
| Xcell | ? | 15:55 |
| Intelligitimate | I got a serious dilemma. I fried something using fireglconfig on one of my computers. Now it no longer outputs anything to the monitor. It boots up, and I have logged in. I am trying to backup some of the data on the computer at this time. Winscp has failed me, and physically removing the hard drive to relocate doesn't work, because none of the connectors are the same to my other computers. I am thinking of trying remote deskt | 15:55 |
| Intelligitimate | op, but I have no idea how to use it. | 15:55 |
| JBB | Can.. I talk to someone? | 15:55 |
| zanberdo | snivek: I'm afraid I don't know anything about the dell lines and linux. I've been running linux on lenovo T40, T41 and T61 without fail for the last year though... I'm sure that doesn't help though... | 15:55 |
| Xcell | GeForce 7600 | 15:55 |
| zanberdo | !ask | 15:55 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 15:55 |
| snivek | zanberdo: gotcha, that is still good to know because I am thinking of buying a laptop soon and a big consideration will be which brands (hardware) have the best linux support | 15:56 |
| Xcell | nvm | 15:56 |
| JBB | Is there any chance that ubuntu, installed inside windows could mess up windows? | 15:56 |
| eth01 | JBD: only if you installed them on the same partitions, MBR et cetera. | 15:57 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, you can log in at localhost:80 | 15:57 |
| zanberdo | in what way have you installed ubuntu inside windows? As a vm? | 15:57 |
| eth01 | or rather, cocked the MBR up. it can happen. | 15:57 |
| eth01 | cock * | 15:57 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, how? | 15:57 |
| robg_ | JBB: if you put OSes of competing vendors on one drive you will import competition. | 15:57 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, ohwait | 15:57 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, nevermind | 15:57 |
| JBB | I insterted the ubuntu CD, and chose install inside windows | 15:57 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, it'll ask for a uname and pass.. haven't got past that yet. | 15:58 |
| cyber_brain_mfkg | hi all! one serious question! is there some nice howto that explains step by step how to configure ssh HostAuthorization???couldn't find anything useful for now!thanx | 15:58 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, what is my login? | 15:58 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, ^__^ | 15:58 |
| jochmenDS | snivek look if there is something with power management gnome | 15:58 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, do i need to register/ | 15:58 |
| zanberdo | snivek: I personally swear by lenovo. The R61 I recently bought works out of the box with linux (well, you have to install it, of course). The only thing I'd do different is verify the wireless hardware to be sure it's not propritary if possible. | 15:58 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, if you have a serial number .. you're registered. | 15:58 |
| cyber_brain_mfkg | !ssh | 15:58 |
| kam0084 | What do you think about 1,4 GHX and 512 ram comp., its for ubuntu or xubuntu rather ? | 15:58 |
| 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/ | 15:58 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, oh..right...is your login the email adress? | 15:58 |
| snivek | jochmenDS: anything specific? any kinda of Powermgt logs i can check? | 15:58 |
| JBB | Anyone know? | 15:59 |
| snivek | zanberdo: wireless has always been a sore spot for me with linux. do you know what the better manufacturers are? | 15:59 |
| === soulrider_ is now known as soulrider | ||
| odinsbane | JBB what is your question again? | 15:59 |
| zanberdo | JBB: I wasn't aware that there was an option to install ubuntu inside windows. you might start by describing what problem you are having. | 15:59 |
| Broadcom | snivek: stay far away from broadcom | 16:00 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I'm on #vmware now trying to find out. | 16:00 |
| Broadcom | !install | zanberdo | 16:00 |
| ubottu | zanberdo: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:00 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, It said I partially registerd...one sec | 16:00 |
| JBB | Ok, I ordered 8.04 through LaunchPad/ShipIt, I insterted the CD and chose "Install inside Windows" | 16:01 |
| devilash | broadcom I've got to the step 2, but I'm not sure which one to download | 16:01 |
| snivek | Broadcom: unfortunately that is what is in my dell - sucks! | 16:01 |
| odinsbane | snivek the madwifi drivers are awesome. | 16:01 |
| Broadcom | snivek: i can help you if you want | 16:01 |
| zanberdo | snivek: I like the intel line. I have three lenovo and two use intel 2100 and 2200 respectively. The 2200 is g whereas the 2100 is b, but both work flawlessly. The R61 model has an Atheros which also works, but can be a little tricky at times. | 16:01 |
| JBB | And I think its causing problems with Windows | 16:01 |
| Broadcom | devilash: can you give me the link, i switch computers | 16:02 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, I never got a username.. | 16:02 |
| devilash | broadcom https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 16:02 |
| Broadcom | devilash: thanks, now put lspci in the terminal and put the result in pastebin, !paste for more info | 16:02 |
| snivek | Broadcom: I have them working now but I have had regular issues where it wont find/connect to my AP. Many reboot or /etc/init.d/networking restart will eventually succeed in making a connection | 16:02 |
| xintron | Is it possible to get date and time added automatically with the screenshot app coming with ubuntu? | 16:02 |
| odinsbane | I have an external atheros card and it is the best card of three I have. | 16:03 |
| JBB | Like causing it to freeze, run slowly etc | 16:03 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I didn't either.. strange.. | 16:03 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, I found some forum topics on their site detailing it... | 16:04 |
| kam0084 | comp 512 ramn, 1,4 Ghx is rather for ubuntu or xubuntu? | 16:04 |
| zanberdo | JBB: you really haven't described the problem though. So you've installed ubuntu inside windows. did the install succeed? Can you boot to ubuntu? What happens when you attempt to boot to windows? You need to provide more information in order for others to help. I'm not trying to be snarky, I'd like to help but need more info. | 16:04 |
| danza | xintron, the file has its own creation data fields... if you list the directory with ls -l | 16:04 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, me too.. should be your normal username and pass | 16:04 |
| jochmenDS | what brand is th atheros cadd | 16:04 |
| devilash | broadcom http://pastebin.com/d7f1ee430 | 16:04 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, I know...doesnt' work though | 16:04 |
| MrBashir | How can I change the directory where Axigen store's my domain's email (/var/opt/axigen/domains/[domainname]/) to /media/disk/axigen/domains/[domainname]/ ? | 16:04 |

| Kevin` | q | 16:05 |
| Wires | ty | 16:05 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, that was the first thing I tried.. I also read that there shoudl be a desktop icon to get to the console.. still looking in the forums and #vmware | 16:05 |
| Broadcom | devilash: now run lspci -n | grep '14e4:43' | 16:05 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Ok..imlooking too | 16:05 |
| Wires | make: *** No rule to make target `stdlib.h', needed by `prog/dump/superio.rd'. Stop. | 16:05 |
| Wires | ? | 16:06 |
| Broadcom | devilash: nevermind | 16:06 |
| Wires | can't find stdlib.h? | 16:06 |
| xintron | danza: I mean in the file name, when hitting printscreen you get "screenshot<date><time>.png" for example | 16:06 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, although this might sound weird.. we might have to reboot to get the services running correctly. I'll do that and be right back.. | 16:06 |
| Broadcom | devilash: step 2e | 16:06 |
| odinsbane | devilash what type of computer are you using? | 16:06 |
| Treeh416 | Ok, metoo | 16:06 |
| Broadcom | odinsbane: i got it | 16:06 |
| snivek | whats the file you can check to see if you are running in laptop mode? | 16:06 |
| JBB | zanberdo: Sorry, I can understand. My problem is that I installed ubuntu inside windows, all looking good. But two days since then Windows has been freezing/ running slowly sometimes. Could this be caused by ubuntu? | 16:06 |
| zanberdo | JBB: so then you can boot to windows. can you also boot to ubuntu? | 16:08 |
| Intelligitimate | I seriously need some help guys. | 16:08 |
| Broadcom | Intelligitimate: just ask again | 16:08 |

| Xorothal | how can i add a custom startup/shutdown script? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto only covers startup | 16:11 |
| zanberdo | JBB: ok, I understand. Sadly this is general question with only a general answer. Generally speaking, you have installed something new to your machine and as such it might very well effect the installed base. However, I'd first start to look at windows logging to see what might be amiss. How long after installing ubuntu did your windows install start misbehaving? Have you recenly applied any updates to windows (such as SP3 if running xp)? What else | 16:11 |
| zanberdo | might be effecting windows? | 16:11 |
| Broadcom | !php | 16:11 |
| 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.

| devilash | broadcom odinsbane I can't do step 3, because file 'bcmw15.inf' doesn't exist | 16:11 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Umm...I cant get the wifi to work again.. | 16:12 |
| Xorothal | how can i add a custom startup/shutdown script? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto only covers startup | 16:12 |
| Treeh416 | I tried sudo dhclient wlan0 | 16:12 |
| zanberdo | backslash7: how are you navigating to the cups web interface? http://localhost:631 is the standard method. | 16:12 |
| rhodes | maybe you'll can help me, i want to create a extended partition on my hard drive, but when i choose new i can't choose extended (only primary) how can i do ? | 16:12 |
| Broadcom | devilash: after which command? | 16:12 |
| legend2440 | davidooo: /join ##php | 16:12 |
| phantom1 | Broadcom: I came acros this article. Apearently Miro has some unfinished buisness with Compiz http://thedarkmaster.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/solving-video-playback-problems-in-compiz-fusion-beryl/ | 16:12 |
| Xorothal | Treeh416, try sudo ifdown wlan0 and then sudo ifup wlan0 | 16:12 |
| backslash7 | zanberdo: Thanks for talking to me. :D I can't use LOCALHOST since the server is ubuntu server without browser, I'm trying it from another computer in the network. | 16:12 |
| Xorothal | Treeh416, and then sudo dhclient wlan0 | 16:12 |
| pim | when I use ps I only get to see 2 processes | 16:12 |
| zanberdo | backslash7: also, can you verify cups is running? you can ps for it. you can also attempt a restart with /etc/init.d/cupsys (usually preceeded with sudo). | 16:12 |
| odinsbane | devilash are you going through the same tutorial again? | 16:12 |
| devilash | broadcom 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf' | 16:13 |
| pim | How do i get to see all processes with their PID? | 16:13 |
| DrBanzai | rhodes: How many partitions are currently on the hardrive? | 16:13 |
| devilash | odinsbane the one that broadcom sent me. | 16:13 |
| davidooo | thanks legend | 16:13 |
| JBB | zanberdo: Nothing really, I've just installed compizsettings manager and adobe flash on ubuntu, and general web browsing on windows. | 16:13 |
| jochmenDS | ps aux | 16:13 |
| zanberdo | backslash7: ok, try that host name and port 631 and see if you can access it. | 16:13 |
| rhodes | DrBanzai: 3 | 16:13 |
| legend2440 | davidooo: np | 16:13 |

| odinsbane | devilash so do ls and change the name to whatever .inf file you have | 16:13 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Sec...it's still going | 16:13 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, access denied.. I'm going through the install process again. when you get that working again install wifi radar from synaptic.. It'll put a launcher under Applications/Internet.. it should make it easier. | 16:13 |
| backslash7 | No zanberdo I can't | 16:13 |
| van | hella | 16:13 |
| backslash7 | "Unable to connect" zanberdo | 16:13 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, ok | 16:14 |
| backslash7 | But I can ping it and access samba shared, that's not the problem. zanberdo | 16:14 |
| DrBanzai | rhodes: And are they primary or extended? | 16:14 |
| zanberdo | JBB: let me ask you this: how do you boot between windows and ubuntu? Do you select from a boot menu? | 16:14 |
| rhodes | DrBanzai: i have two primary, one extended | 16:14 |
| JBB | Yep, I do. | 16:14 |
| bullgard4 | Nach dem Hardy>Gutsy-Upgrade zeigt das GNOME-Terminal Umlaute als Fragezeichen an und zeigt einige Textmodus-Grafikzeichen falsch an, obwohl '~$ locale' ausgibt "LANG=de_DE.UTF8". Wie kann ich diesen Fehler beseitigen? | 16:14 |
| Intelligitimate | I need a command sequence to get to the command line and to allow ssh connections (I don't have any output to see what is going on). | 16:14 |
| DannyV | dammit, why can't the installer find an IP address... | 16:14 |
| zanberdo | backslash7: ok, so the service might not be running. Can you ssh to the server that's supposed to be running cups and attempt the /etc/init.d/cupsys restart? | 16:15 |
| robg_ | JBB: do you know how to boot from the BIOS ? | 16:15 |
| Oli`` | USB has locked up (lsusb just stalls) and I can't access any USB devices (mouse included). Can I restart USB? | 16:15 |
| backslash7 | zanberdo: I restarted it, it is running.. | 16:15 |
| DrBanzai | rhodes: And which partitioner are you using? | 16:15 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, I think the answer is in the first line of installation.... with IPv6 active web access might have issues. | 16:15 |
| zanberdo | backslash7: hmm... I'm afraid you've exhausted my ability to help... sorry. | 16:15 |
| rhodes | DrBanzai: gparted :) | 16:15 |

| Xorothal | bzaks, it finds where the executable for that command is | 16:22 |
| rhodes | DrBanzai: thx U | 16:22 |
| zanberdo | bzaks: the utility which followed by the executable will tell you which path the executable is located. You should first try whereis nvidia-settings to see if it's in your path, then which nvidia-settings to see which path it resolves to. The app maybe installed by not in the path... | 16:22 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, where do i find the link to the wifi radar thing/ | 16:22 |

| keyplute | Zanberdo...Install crashes at 6% with Fatal Error Everytime with alternate install.....and with the normal install, it doesn't give me a percent, starts to install, and crashes, and returns back to the Live CD Icon | 16:43 |
| DrBanzai | keyplute: And it always stops at 6%, regardless of which cd you use? | 16:43 |
| jardi | Wires : do you mean <alt>+<f2> ? | 16:43 |
| dextrous_ | Odinsbane thanks man, got it going. :P | 16:43 |
| zanberdo | keyplute: ok. well, I have seen that specific issue with the alernate cd and in my case the media was bad. | 16:44 |
| whoop | DrBanzai: did you check cd for errors? | 16:44 |
| odinsbane | Wires in the directory where you untared the files. | 16:44 |

| mcrom | i'd like to run fsck. how can i do that (since drive is mounted) | 16:44 |
| zanberdo | jardi: please wait some time before merely reposting your problem. | 16:44 |
| mcrom | ? | 16:44 |
| odinsbane | in lm_sensors-2.10.6/QUICKSTART | 16:44 |
| Wires | this is 3.0.2 | 16:45 |
| Slart | mcrom: don't run fsck on a mounted system | 16:45 |
| * wachunei is waiting for somebody to hel him | 16:45 | |
| Slart | mcrom: if you have to run it on a hard drive you can't take offline, do it at a reboot | 16:45 |
| zanberdo | mcrom: you can force it to run at boot, but you can't run it on a mounted file system | 16:45 |
| keyplute | Had a hardy install on one of the drives (different config) and XP was on the second drive. However, I used Ultimate Boot CD to wipe partition tables, boot sectors, and performed low level formats on each drive. THat waas my first thought was maybe a grub issue | 16:45 |
| odinsbane | wires cvs? | 16:45 |
| mcrom | zanberdo: how can i force a fsck at boot? | 16:45 |
| Treeh416 | Hey could someone help me figure out why my wifi card's connection only lasts two seconds? | 16:45 |
| jardi | mcrom : you can remount your partition read only : sudo mount -o remount;ro /your/mount/point and then you can fsck | 16:45 |
| Wires | cvs? I'm a lamen :P | 16:45 |
| odinsbane | Wires did you type make user | 16:46 |
| Wires | make all | 16:46 |
| wachunei | Treeh416: al least it lasts, i can't get the driver.... xD | 16:46 |
| mcrom | jardi, thanks. but i'm talking about the drive ubuntu's running on | 16:46 |
| cyber_brain_mfkg | someone installed torque on hardy from repos?is that working correctly? | 16:46 |
| amireldor | Treeh416, all i know is that sometimes i need to run `sudo /etc/init.d/networkding restart` | 16:46 |
| DrBanzai | keyplute: Hmmmm...well, the only thing I can think of to try would be to burn a new cd, and about 2x and see if that works. | 16:46 |
| szymon_g | hi | 16:46 |
| amireldor | Treeh416, /etc/init.d/networking that is | 16:46 |
| keyplute | DrBanzai: If this helps any...whenever the launcher starts to install, I am getting an ACPI error as well | 16:46 |
| Treeh416 | wachunei, :( I have two adapters...one doesnt work at allim lucky XD | 16:46 |

| Angellore | Hi :) | 16:47 |
| DrBanzai | keyplute: In that case, at the boot prompt type no=acpi | 16:47 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, Still nothing? | 16:47 |
| DrBanzai | keyplute: Or maybe just no acpi | 16:47 |
| zanberdo | mcrom: touch /forcefsck | 16:47 |
| ccl | mang | 16:47 |
| jardi | mcron: yes, you can do that, but you need to go in single user mode before : do a "sudo init 1" and be prepared to enter the darkness of command line only systems | 16:47 |
| odinsbane | Wires for 2.6 kernels you need to type just make user | 16:47 |
| keyplute | What does the ACPI do? | 16:47 |
| mcrom | zanberdo, cool. does this work too? shutdown -r -F now ? | 16:48 |
| DrBanzai | keyplute: It's something to do with power management, and some implimentations are buggy | 16:48 |
| zanberdo | mcrom: that is, if the file forcefsck is found in root at boot time, the next time you boot it will force fsck | 16:48 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, nope.. might be worth uninstalling and installling the normal version instead of the beta.. I know it works and has a launcher. | 16:48 |
| ccl | hello | 16:48 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, can the normal version run everything in windows? | 16:48 |
| Yodafon | szevasztok | 16:48 |
| zanberdo | mcrom: man shutdown does not show -F as an option (on my machine) | 16:48 |
| Wires | ah yeah, im reading that now on the website | 16:48 |
| keyplute | Alright, well I will try everything again...it is just hard, because of course it gets past the partitioning, so it's a pain to go back and destroy partition tables everytime it fails...but I do, to make sure that it's not a GRUB issue | 16:48 |
| odinsbane | Wires and it appears you will have to install bison. | 16:48 |
| Wires | what does make user do vs make all? | 16:49 |
| Wires | argh, lol | 16:49 |
| Wires | what would bison be? | 16:49 |
| jardi | mcrom: if your system is using ext3 file system (wich is the default) you probably don't need it | 16:49 |
| Yodafon | Üdvözlök mindenkit! | 16:49 |
| DrBanzai | keyplute: Good luck | 16:49 |
| Wires | I get the same error with make user | 16:49 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, just mentioning that cause you needed windows today.. yes it will run everything EXCEPT direct x stuff. If it's graphically intensive nope.. | 16:49 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, ok, installing now | 16:50 |
| odinsbane | Wires for version 3.0.2 I do make user and it dies at bison, I install bison and it dies at flex. | 16:50 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, ...how to uninstall the other installation | 16:50 |
| mcrom | jardi, hm wow. my laptop (a thinkpad) fell off my table (height: ~70 cm)... then i thought i should check everything (although i don't know what to check...) any hints? | 16:50 |
| Wires | lol | 16:50 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, hang on and I'll look | 16:50 |
| Wires | so... whys this shit happening? | 16:50 |
| Kiiii | using live cd and the cursor is movin like crazy, using laptop touchpad.. cant get into menys and such, anyone know what to do? | 16:50 |

| mcrom | brb | 16:51 |
| chaii | i cant uninstall my ubuntu. help | 16:52 |
| jardi | mcrom: that's a good idea, fut fsck is for logical erros (such as inceherent file system) you wan to run badblocks to make a deep physical test, read man badblocks deaply to not make any mystake | 16:52 |
| zanberdo | chaii: what do you mean "uninstall ubuntu"? | 16:52 |
| komputes | What package takes care of the X Buffer (copy/paste by selection/MouseBut3) | 16:52 |
| Wires | that's blasphemy :P | 16:52 |
| chaii | i cant switch to windows | 16:52 |
| chaii | i want to switch to windows for a while | 16:52 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, sudo ./usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl | 16:53 |
| zanberdo | chaii: if you've installed ubuntu to dual-bbot with windows, you whould be able to select windows at boot time... as ubuntu is an OS, you "uninstall" it be removing the partition... | 16:53 |
| zanberdo | s/bbot/boot/ | 16:53 |
| HeXiLeD | hi guys | 16:53 |
| chaii | nope. it's not a dual boot | 16:53 |
| istanbul27erk | hi | 16:53 |
| zanberdo | chaii: you can remove the option to dual-boot with fixmbr (under windows) | 16:53 |
| chaii | no partition | 16:54 |

| HeXiLeD | quick question. io have added a user to the admin group and when i do su or sudo -i and enter the correct password; it still denies me access. what am i missing here? | 16:54 |
| zanberdo | chaii: then what? did you install ubuntu over the top of windowS? ubuntu is an OS and not just an application you run in windows. | 16:54 |
| chaii | yep. | 16:54 |
| Wires | :/ | 16:54 |
| istanbul27erk | does ubuntu support usb webcam immediately or i have to find drivers? | 16:54 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, doesn't work...im just going to install th eother one and see what happens | 16:54 |
| chaii | i did. i guess that was a mitsake? | 16:54 |
| zanberdo | chaii: if you replaced windows with ubuntu then you need to reinstall windows. | 16:54 |
| DrGamut | Is there a common software configuration on VPS linux hosts that limits the transfer rate of files over FTP/HTTP to individual clients? I bought hosting with 24mbit of bandwidth, and it uploads at more than that speed when running torrents and such, but when I download from it on my home computer I only get about 150 KB/s. | 16:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HeXiLeD Does the user you are trying to su with have admin rights | 16:54 |
| odinsbane | wires do you have GNU make GCC bison and flex and rdd ? | 16:55 |
| HeXiLeD | Jack_Sparrow: he is on the admin group . shouldnt he have admin rights soon he enters that group ? | 16:55 |
| chaii | i tried ... for weeks now. no go. the Grub thing always appears | 16:55 |
| zanberdo | chaii: if you intented to preserve your windows installation then yes, that was a mistake | 16:55 |
| Wires | I dont do if I do or not.. I just installed ubuntu a fewdays ago.. n im a new *nix user as well | 16:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HeXiLeD it works from your original user account correct? | 16:56 |
| HeXiLeD | yes | 16:56 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, It's automatically uninstalling other version | 16:56 |
| odinsbane | wires type sudo apt-get install bison flex gcc | 16:56 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, cool.. | 16:56 |
| chaii | right now i cant install windows over ubuntu | 16:56 |
| odinsbane | wires you probably also need the gcc-dev package | 16:56 |
| zanberdo | chaii: grub is a boot manager and it's written to the MBR (master boot record). If you were to install windows it will (without fail) overwrite the MBR with it's own boot manager. | 16:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HeXiLeD I am just waking up so... gimme a few minutes to have some coffee and get brain started | 16:56 |
| Wires | ok | 16:56 |
| Wires | what are all these packages? | 16:57 |
| Nitricacid | Anyone know how to remove the periods generated by Kate (the txt editor) any and all help would be nice :) | 16:57 |

| HeXiLeD | ok | 16:57 |
| istanbul27erk | does ubuntu support usb webcam immediately or i have to find drivers? | 16:57 |
| istanbul27erk | does ubuntu support usb webcam immediately or i have to find drivers? | 16:57 |
| zanberdo | chaii: you must install windows from scratch if you are to replace the ubuntu installation that you have already installed (if I'm understanding your reuqirements correctly) | 16:57 |
| Wires | is it called gcc-dev? couldnt find it | 16:57 |
| Nitricacid | istanbul27erk: u need drivers | 16:58 |
| odinsbane | did you install the other three ? | 16:58 |
| o7andrew | any idea how I can get around a <ata 1.00 excception .. frozen> boot error guys (I've only got a 20 minute boot and can't use ubuntu> I'm bummed) | 16:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | istanbul27erk depends on your choice of hardware | 16:58 |
| istanbul27erk | thanx nitricacid | 16:58 |
| Nitricacid | istanbul27erk: try Cheese | 16:58 |

| Treeh416 | scunizi, It's not working... | 16:59 |
| backslash7 | Hi all. | 16:59 |
| chaii | i did. i tried to boot from cd many times. no go. it would direct me to the ubuntu desktop even if it;s a boot from cd. and there is an option to install windows but it would only start in COllecting information Page and would not go through... | 16:59 |
| o7andrew | aye man" | 16:59 |
| odinsbane | Wires I don't kow if there is a dev package for it. | 17:00 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, After it asked me for the location of the directoryC header files | 17:00 |
| chaii | jack_sparrow: yes | 17:00 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, It tried to build them...and then aborted | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chaii Please try this in a term for me.. 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) | 17:00 |
| Wires | hmm | 17:00 |
| Wires | what does the stdlib error mean? | 17:00 |
| Itaku | there a program to stream music to shoutcast? | 17:00 |
| backslash7 | I would like to have all my e-mails on my ubuntu server so I can fetch it from my computer and my laptop. I don't wanna have a new mail account on my server, just collect the mails | 17:00 |
| o7andrew | any idea how I can get around a <ata 1.00 excception .. frozen> boot error guys (I've only got a 20 minute boot and can't use ubuntu> I'm bummed) | 17:00 |
| chaii | ok | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | o7andrew did this install ever work? | 17:00 |
| zanberdo | chaii: firstly, are you sure you are booting from cd and second, is the cd you are booting from a windows cd? Again, to clarify, your goal is to remove ubuntu and install windows... | 17:00 |
| Wires | I guess I'll try a previous version of lm_sensors then | 17:00 |
| william_ | for adobe flash player should i use .tar.gz for linux | 17:00 |
| chaii | zanberdo: yes and yes. | 17:01 |
| scunizi | Treeh416, you didn't change anything did you? build-essential is the package that provides all that compiling stuff | 17:01 |
| odinsbane | wires it is a config type error, it usually means you are missing a build dependency | 17:01 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, didn't change anything | 17:01 |
| chaii | and yes. | 17:01 |
| odinsbane | did you install flex, bison and gcc after you do that it might take card of the build dependency | 17:01 |
| Nitricacid | GUI for editing Grub? Heron hardy ubuntu, anyone? | 17:01 |
| backslash7 | Anyone please? | 17:01 |
| backslash7 | I would like to have all my e-mails on my ubuntu server so I can fetch it from my computer and my laptop. I don't wanna have a new mail account on my server, just collect the mails | 17:01 |
| Treeh416 | scunizi, i'll redownload it...ugg... | 17:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nitricacid nope | 17:01 |
| zanberdo | chaii: check out what Jack_Sparrow has to suggest then... cause if you are booting from cd and it's a windows cd I have no clue how it could be booting to ubuntu | 17:01 |
| bannaN | Is there any recommanded programs for scanning for wireless networks? so you get a visual perspektive on the networks you can connect to | 17:01 |
| Wires | I gotcha | 17:01 |
| Wires | ok, well let me try a previous version | 17:02 |
| scunizi | bannaN, wifi radar | 17:02 |
| Wires | btw also, what's the gcc-dev package? | 17:02 |
| muhkuh_ | hi people i alway get segfauts all the time on different programs i run ich checked my ram with memtest86 and it told me it is broken so i bought a new one but the segfaults aren't gone | 17:02 |
| chaii | ok | 17:02 |
| Wires | sorry for all the questions.. but that's the way to learn I guess :P | 17:02 |
| Itaku | there a program to stream music to shoutcast? | 17:02 |
| josspyker | bannaN: rutilt | 17:02 |
| Wikipedo | i hate niggers | 17:02 |
| odinsbane | Wires I don't think there is one. I found back when I had to compile packages that if I installed a program I needed the -dev package too. | 17:02 |
| scunizi | Itaku, never used it.. but maybe icecast | 17:02 |
| Nitricacid | Itaku: that would be winamp :) | 17:02 |
| bijur | hey all :) | 17:02 |
| Itaku | !language | Wikipedo | 17:02 |
| ubottu | Wikipedo: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 17:02 |
| DataTransmute | Is it just me or does ubuntuforums.org not work? | 17:03 |
| Itaku | Nitricacid: how about a linux app? | 17:03 |
| Wires | well I mean, what's a dev package? | 17:03 |
| Nitricacid | anything that can handle the shoutcast plugin | 17:03 |
| zanberdo | DataTransmute: it appears they were/are down | 17:03 |
| scunizi | Itaku, also pulse audio has a streaming server built in .. don't know how to activate it though | 17:03 |
| backslash7 | UBUNTU SERVER: COLLECT MAILS. How ? | 17:03 |
| bijur | Wires: a dev package is something that's not been released yet | 17:03 |
| Wires | ahh | 17:03 |
| bijur | or has release level bugs logged against them | 17:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backslash7 please lose the caps | 17:03 |
| Wires | ok | 17:03 |
| zanberdo | backslash7: have you checked google? | 17:03 |
| bijur | backslash7: collect mails using a mail transport agent | 17:04 |
| o7andrew | Jack_Sparrow: I just ran live and bummed out, do you think it might be a good idea to wait the half-hour, install and see if the boot problem resolves? | 17:04 |
| odinsbane | Wires I would stick to the 3.0.2 because that is for linux 2.6 kernels | 17:04 |
| DataTransmute | @ zanberdo, thank you. | 17:04 |
| muhkuh_ | what else can it be it has to be a hard ware problem cause it is the same on debian and windows | 17:04 |
| Wires | ok | 17:04 |
| william_ | im a total newb for adobe flash player should i use .rpm for linux or .tar.gz for linux | 17:04 |
| odinsbane | Wires read the Makefile too. | 17:04 |
| Wires | then hmm.. what should I do? | 17:04 |
| bijur | backslash7: u can use postfix , a simpler tool or something like qmail | 17:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | o7andrew | 17:04 |
| ubottu | o7andrew: 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 | 17:04 |
| zanberdo | DataTransmute: let us know when they are back up... :) | 17:04 |
| Treeh416 | Hey guys i need help | 17:04 |

| Treeh416 | after running sudo dhclient wlan0 it dies after about 5 seconds | 17:05 |
| Treeh416 | any ideas? | 17:05 |
| bijur | william_: u can search this in the ubuntu forum. rpm is redhat package manager | 17:05 |
| josspyker | Treeh416: what chipset? | 17:05 |
| Treeh416 | josspyker, U.S. Robotics something | 17:05 |
| bijur | william_: debian/ubuntu uses .deb | 17:05 |
| Intelligitimate | My computer is refusing an SSH connection. How do I fix this problem from the command line? | 17:05 |
| backslash7 | bijur: Okay, I'll google qmail | 17:05 |
| o7andrew | jack_interesting... | 17:05 |
| Treeh416 | josspyker, It was fine before...lasted forever | 17:05 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 what do you mean dies? | 17:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | o7andrew just a thought | 17:05 |

| bijur | warior: apologies | 17:08 |
| Wires | no packages found | 17:08 |
| dbmoodb | the only usb wifi that i know that works with linux is the rt73 which is not n | 17:08 |
| warior | bijur: downloaded maybe 20 times :) | 17:08 |
| bijur | warior: why not to 8.04? ;) | 17:08 |
| dragonlotus | dbmoodb: do you have experience using ndiswrapper? does it work well with any dockapps? | 17:08 |
| Intell | dbmoodb, "connection refused" | 17:08 |
| bijur | warior: then try some other server | 17:08 |
| warior | bijur: you should upgrade in sequence | 17:08 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 so when your connection dies you can ping your router and you get a response time? | 17:08 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, yes | 17:08 |
| warior | bijur: as written on ubuntu site :) | 17:08 |
| bijur | Intell: if its connection refused try to see if u r using the correct port | 17:08 |
| dbmoodb | dragonlotus: no i don't like windows so i avoid widnows drivers | 17:08 |
| backslash7 | bijur: Any idea ? | 17:08 |
| lostchild | hi all | 17:08 |

| lostchild | can anyone help me with apt-gt giving me unmet dependencies error? | 17:09 |
| Intell | It's over port 22. | 17:09 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 Then you router has fallen off of the internet, I fix that by unplugging the thing and pluging it back in. | 17:09 |
| backslash7 | " | 17:09 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, When I go into manual confi, and give it the ip, subnet,m gateway myself nothing happens. but if I then go to roaming after that and then do sudo dhclient wlan0 it lasts for 5seconds | 17:09 |
| lostchild | I tried to install one application, that gave me unmet dependencies | 17:09 |
| stroyan | Wires: packagename was a placeholder where you put the package name that you care about. 'apt-cache show tcl' | 17:09 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, No, I'm using it rightnow XD | 17:09 |
| lostchild | but now I dont want to install that app any more | 17:09 |
| dragonlotus | dbmoodb: If only we were all so lucky. Thankyou, however, for your advice and I'll try that asap. | 17:09 |

| lostchild | please? | 17:11 |
| stroyan | Wires: I missed the start of your question. I was just helping with 'what are all these packages?' | 17:11 |
| dbmoodb | but some games will run under ubuntu | 17:11 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, don't know hot to turn it off | 17:11 |
| Georgij | dbmoodb is it easy do I just have to create a new partion then install vista? | 17:11 |
| Georgij | is it that simple? | 17:11 |
| Wires | ah | 17:11 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 right click on it and exit. | 17:11 |
| dbmoodb | there are a few guides | 17:11 |
| Wires | I'm trying to compile lm_sensors | 17:11 |
| dbmoodb | !vista | 17:11 |
| ubottu | vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows | 17:11 |
| bijur | backslash7: aaaaah! sure man, just use an email server on ur server which keeps popping the mails from pop3 and then fwd's it via its sendmail/postfix to ur local server, wud be much faster to access that way! bravo! | 17:12 |
| Wires | and im getting make: *** No rule to make target `stdlib.h', needed by `prog/dump/superio.rd'. Stop. | 17:12 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Georgij yes, as I pointed out with the bot | 17:13 |
| odinsbane | now try the sudo dhlcient wlan0 | 17:13 |
| Hunter | I cant seem to get device drivers working, already tried all help steps... | 17:13 |
| stroyan | Wires: You need 'sudo apt-get build-dep lm-sensors' . That takes advantage of the list of build dependencies in the lm-sensors package. | 17:13 |
| bijur | backslash7:: no problemo boss! | 17:13 |
| o7andrew | Georgij: you should back up data, resize harddrive &or add a partition &or swap partition and install linux last (like always) | 17:13 |
| bzaks | Ever since I've upgraded to HH, I have been unable to get my synergy clients to talk... did I do something wrong? | 17:13 |

| U-Gutsy-Gibbon | collect2: ld returned 1 exit status | 17:13 |
| Hunter | my wireless doesnt showup at all | 17:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Georgij you would be better off installing vista on the first partition then installing ubuntu again | 17:13 |
| bijur | my emacs is scrolling scrolling scrolling | 17:13 |
| Georgij | If I place all my files in the hd i am using to boot linux then install vista on my other hd then? | 17:13 |
| Lynet | Georgij: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Vista will clobber your MBR so you need to reinstall grub. | 17:13 |
| stroyan | Wires: Or you could just install the prebuild lm-sensors package. | 17:13 |
| backslash7 | bijur: Can you say a simple one? Easy to set up I mean ? | 17:13 |
| bijur | my emacs is scrolling upto the erc! | 17:14 |

| Georgij | Wait | 17:14 |
| Georgij | I have 2 hds | 17:14 |
| Georgij | if I install vista on the other hd | 17:14 |
| Wires | so say that again stroyan, what does that command do? | 17:14 |
| jope | anyone able to help pls? | 17:14 |
| bijur | backslash7: i think postfix wud be able to do it. but i am not sure if it'dbe that easy to configure. sorry man, i havent tried doing this, though this has always been on my agenda | 17:14 |
| Georgij | It wont remove grub? | 17:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | jope | 17:14 |
| ubottu | jope: 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. :-) | 17:14 |
| odinsbane | Stroyan that works nicely is here a deb package lm_sensors? | 17:15 |
| bijur | jope: whats the matter? | 17:15 |
| jope | i aksed and no one repliied, sorry | 17:15 |

| bijur | jope: try installing wpasupplicant and wpagui | 17:15 |
| Georgij | Jack_Sparrow I just read it now why are u giving me false information | 17:15 |
| bijur | there needs to be a file wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/wpa_supplicant/ dir | 17:15 |
| Treeh416 | Is anyone here really good at networking??? | 17:15 |
| HeXiLeD | Jack_Sparrow: so any ideas ? | 17:15 |
| jope | bijur:oh ok thanks | 17:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Georgij what is falser about it | 17:16 |
| Georgij | It said if I have 2 hds it wont affect my grub | 17:16 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 did you try dhclient again? | 17:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HeXiLeD still waiting for coffee | 17:16 |
| Georgij | If I install in the hd I dont have Ubuntu and Grub in | 17:16 |
| bijur | Treeh416: u just need a solution dont you? why do u need to know if anyone is good at it :)) | 17:16 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, Yes...it only works if you do the manual, THEN roaming, then dhclient...thjen it lasts for 5 seconds | 17:16 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, Ok, that works too! | 17:16 |
| anirudh0 | Geoffrey2, lol | 17:16 |
| anirudh0 | Geoffrey2, sorry...not for you | 17:16 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, Basically...I can't connect. Dhclient doesn'twork | 17:16 |
| anirudh0 | Georgij, lol | 17:17 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, I did get it working before...then restarted...and it died | 17:17 |
| bijur | Treeh416: two things, ur dhcp client cud be an old version, which with ubuntu i think is unlikely | 17:17 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 I don't understand where you are setting your gateway and the like. | 17:17 |
| bijur | treeh416: secondis are u on wireless? | 17:17 |
| Hunter | Is using that wubi installer a good idea when installing to usb drives? | 17:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chaii did you paste that command just as I gave it to you | 17:17 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 if you use dhclient and it gives you an ip address then dhclient worked | 17:18 |
| eight_ | hi! how do I change gnome's GUI language? | 17:18 |
| anirudh0 | Hunter, AFAIK...no | 17:18 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, It does give me my ip | 17:18 |
| bijur | eight_: System -> Admin -> Language | 17:18 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, wireless | 17:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hunter read the faq on wubi carefully.. and no I would not use wubi to install to a usb | 17:18 |
| Hunter | thx | 17:18 |
| eight_ | bijur, thanks | 17:18 |
| bijur | Treeh416: what are u using to connect? wpa? the system -> admin -> Network ? | 17:18 |
| anirudh0 | eight_, selecting a session language in the gdm menu should so the trick | 17:18 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, when I use dhclient i get my ip...but it stilldoesn't work | 17:18 |
| Wips | !grub | 17:18 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 17:18 |
| Hunter | it works fine, but no wifi | 17:18 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 then where are you setting your gateway, it sounds like you have two programs setting up your wireless. So one dhclient works then you have another program overide it. | 17:18 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, yes | 17:19 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, But i haven'tinstall anything | 17:19 |
| bijur | treeh416: what does ur ifconfig give you for you wlan0? | 17:19 |
| Verndog | Were there problems with ubuntu forum servers? | 17:19 |
| stroyan | Wires: That command will install the packages that are recorded as dependencies to build the lm-sensors package from source. | 17:19 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 also are you sure you are logging onto your router. | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Verndog ubuntu-server | 17:19 |
| Wires | I gotcha | 17:19 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Varo_DJ | ||
| jope | bijur: i ran apt get install for those, wpasupp was already there, but it installed wpagui. ive just looked and that file isnt in wpasupplicant | 17:19 |
| sparr | My HP OfficeJet Pro 7590 printer seems to need the HPLIP driver/backend... How can I make that work? | 17:19 |
| bijur | Treeh416: also do u have wpa? or wep? | 17:19 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, Ip config oens't work for me | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Verndog sorry, I may have misread that | 17:19 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, no encryption | 17:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbl, time for coffee | 17:20 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, terminal doesn't recognize ipconfig as a command | 17:20 |
| Wires | same error, stroyan | 17:20 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, yeah...it can see my router | 17:20 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 it is ifconfig in linux | 17:20 |
| bijur | jope, run sudo wpagui from ur user account and scan for wireless networks and add the correct ones, its a breeze from then on | 17:20 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, and it says it connected to it | 17:20 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, oh if config | 17:20 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 what says connected to it? | 17:20 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, the little icon on the top right | 17:20 |
| bijur | treeh416: if ifconfig doesnt work, then u have some big problem, try doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:21 |
| Verndog | For an hour I couldn't get into the ubuntu forum. Now I can. Just curious if anyone else had problem? | 17:21 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, umm ifconfig gives me a bigass block of text | 17:21 |
| jope | it says command not found | 17:21 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 right click on that little icon and close it. | 17:21 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, you can't | 17:21 |
| bijur | Treeh416: look whether u have an ip under wlan0 | 17:21 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, only "Enable networking", "Enable Wireless",etc | 17:21 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, ...nope | 17:21 |
| bijur | yep, thats ur pblm | 17:21 |
| stroyan | Wires: I need to leave now. Good luck. | 17:21 |
| Wires | alright, cya | 17:21 |
| jope | verndog: i cldnt access forums but did look at cahed results in google | 17:22 |
| bijur | its easier if u r going to just install wpa_gui and run it as sudo wpagui and scan for networks and connect | 17:22 |
| jope | cached | 17:22 |
| jope | bijur: i did apt-get install of wpagui but it says sudo wpagui command nto found | 17:22 |
| Verndog | It's probably a local issue. I'm in California, USA, West Coast | 17:23 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 disable wireless | 17:23 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, done | 17:23 |
| anirudh0 | Treeh416, it might be useful to paste your ifconfig output somewhere | 17:23 |
| bijur | jope : huh! u sure wpa_gui is installed? | 17:23 |
| hume | hi...i've got a problem with ssh auto authorization - I have generated keys, and coiped from client to server, added the pub key to authorized_keys2, but still need to type password to authenticate - anyone can help? | 17:23 |
| bijur | jope: i am installing it right now, will detail u the thing | 17:23 |
| Treeh416 | anirudh0, why? | 17:24 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 if you do sudo dhclient wlan0 ...and you get an ip then do ifconfig and wlan0 should have a field inet address #ip | 17:24 |
| bijur | hume: ofcourse you need a password to login | 17:24 |

| Treeh416 | bijur, then what is it:S? | 17:26 |
| odinsbane | Wires did you do the sudo apt-get build-dep ln-sensors | 17:26 |

| chaii | cp: cannot create regular file `/Desktop/Partition_layout.txt && \nsudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab /Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt': No such file or directory | 17:28 |
| chaii | <--- this is the result | 17:28 |
| bijur | Billenium: try running the same boot cd in another comp to see if its a pblm with the cd, else try to get a more later version of the distro | 17:28 |
| robg_ | Billenium: are you keeping your finger on the boot options key (F8) during the CD boot ? | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Psyco_Chipmunk1 you don install rpms | 17:28 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, didn't work | 17:28 |
| anirudh1 | Intell, you mean an ssh server on your computer refuses connections? | 17:28 |
| odinsbane | Intell did you isntall openssh-server ? | 17:28 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, Yeah..for me myconnection only works when it says seconds | 17:28 |
| Billenium | bijur: i was afraid of this, but im pretty sure it is the CD drive | 17:28 |
| Billenium | and yes robg_ its booting from the CD | 17:28 |
| bijur | Treeh416: its either that way or the wpa_gui way which is easier, wait i am trying to install it , system is suddenly slow | 17:29 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk1 | Jack_Sparrow: well, what do i do with it then? | 17:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Billenium try this At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 17:29 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, ok | 17:29 |
| bijur | the german servers are quite slow now, i guess everyone in Germany just woke up | 17:29 |
| bijur | sigh | 17:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Psyco_Chipmunk1 You take the rpm and move it to trash | 17:29 |
| robg_ | Billenium and others: when booting from a CD you MUST keep your finger on the F8 key to force the machine to boot from CD. | 17:29 |
| Treeh416 | bijur, it's 6:31pm in germany XD | 17:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rpm | 17:29 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 17:29 |
| bijur | Psycho_chipmunk: u take the rpm and run alien on it to convert to a .deb | 17:29 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 What I think is happening is you have the gui program setting your gateway incorrectly that is why I thought you should turn off the gui stuff and set it up using dhclinet and then trying ifconfig to make sure you have an inet address. | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bijur not a good idea | 17:30 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk1 | Shoot | 17:30 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk1 | ok | 17:30 |
| jope | psyco: there is a guide for adobe here http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron-p4 | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Psyco_Chipmunk1 I am sure adobe has a deb.. | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 17:30 | |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 17:30 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk1 | well that sucks, anyone know how to get adobe reader for ubuntu? | 17:30 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, but if you turn of the gui you turn off wireless networking | 17:30 |
| jope | psyco: i just gave u link | 17:30 |
| anirudh1 | Psyco_Chipmunk1, get deb from adobe site | 17:30 |
| jope | http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron-p4 | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Psyco_Chipmunk1 let me look for deb | 17:31 |
| Intell | Well, I tried blind-typing it, odinsbane. I have no freaking clue though, because fireglconfig destroyed something on my motherboard that allows anything to be output to the monitor. So I have no clue. The people at the manufacturer basically told me to F myself on not wiping my hard drive, and I can't physically connect the hard drive to another computer, because the connections aren't the same, so I am desperately trying to get data | 17:31 |
| Intell | off this computer without the benefit of being able to even see anything. | 17:31 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk1 | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 17:31 |
| jope | psyco: third time: link here http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron-p4 | 17:31 |
| Wips | Is there a command in terminal to see the current partitions? | 17:32 |
| odinsbane | Treeh416 I don't have any wireless gui's running. | 17:32 |
| ragsagar | mount | 17:32 |
| anirudh1 | Wips, df | 17:32 |
| Treeh416 | odinsbane, Huh..ok...ill try | 17:32 |
| HymnToLife | those will show only the mouned filesystems | 17:32 |
| anirudh1 | Wips, or "cat /etc/mtab" | 17:32 |
| ragsagar | Wips : mount | 17:32 |
| bijur | Wips : fdisk -l | 17:32 |
| HymnToLife | fdisk -l | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Psyco_Chipmunk1 http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html but select *.deb under linux version and you are good to go | 17:33 |
| bijur | anirudh: that shows only the mounted filesystems | 17:33 |
| anirudh1 | bijur, yes | 17:33 |

| Clapper | normal desktop- yes. Also, will the live cd recognize my current software raid array, like my current installation does? I'll be backing up onto that. | 17:40 |
| jope | bijur: ok i ran sudo wpa_gui and it says failed to open control connection to wpa_supplicant | 17:40 |

| AaronH | Jessica601, if you want to enable you root user you can do "sudo -s" then do "passwd" and set a password for it. | 17:53 |
| Treeh416 | robg_, where do I do the manual config | 17:53 |
| anirudh1 | ChaosTheory_, bashrc modifies the way bash behaves...nothing to do with a particular emulator | 17:54 |
| acegikmo | anirudh1: is there a fix for it? | 17:54 |

| gokorn | <Jack_Sparrow> where can i find supported repos? | 17:57 |

| Jack_Sparrow | wachunei Explain what you are trying to do as I dont think what you are trying is going to work | 18:00 |

| anirudh1 | ChaosTheory_, not sure why the uncommenting approach failed | 18:01 |
| anirudh1 | ChaosTheory_, the archwiki method works for me | 18:01 |
| boy_chn | astro76: so the command is: chown root.root /etc/sudoers | 18:01 |
| LaKiLaKi | excuse me, may i ask something here? | 18:01 |
| bijur | jope can u try doing a modprobe for the driver of that? | 18:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jope Would you like me to try and help.? | 18:01 |

| [TiZ] | Hello? I'm getting ready to move my Wubi install to its own partition. I've been deleting stuff from my 134GB data partition in preparation. It has 28% of its space free now, and I've defragmented it several times. But I can't get data to move away from the end of the partition. Is it safe to resize the partition anyway? | 18:08 |
| anirudh1 | [TiZ], no | 18:09 |
| robg_ | TiZ: sounds dangerous | 18:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] no | 18:09 |
| [TiZ] | In that case, is there a program I can use to move the data away from the end? | 18:09 |
| bijur | lakilaki: cant u see anything in the squid.log ? | 18:09 |
| [TiZ] | A better defragger or something? | 18:10 |
| mohkohn | I have to use ndiswrapper for my wireless. Where do I find my bcm5wl5.inf file in windoze? | 18:10 |
| bijur | lakilaki: how are u starting squid? | 18:10 |
| danbhfive | [TiZ]: I have never had problems using gparted. I don't think you have to worry about it | 18:10 |
| robg_ | TiZ: what sort of data is it ? | 18:10 |
| LaKiLaKi | bijur: sudo /etc/init.d/squid start | 18:10 |
| [TiZ] | Well, I | 18:10 |
| [TiZ] | I'm pretty sure it's the disks for my wubi install | 18:10 |
| [TiZ] | Losing those would defeat the purpose. | 18:10 |
| HymnToLife | mohkohn: c:\windows\system32\rivers usually | 18:11 |
| mohkohn | that should be bcmwl5.inf | 18:11 |
| MrNaz | i seem to recall seeing that the AMD64 iso of ubuntu is also suitable for 64bit intel cpus... is that the case? can i use the amd64 ubuntu iso on my core2duo laptop ?(thiknpad t61p) | 18:11 |
| HymnToLife | bu you'll need other iles, do you not have some ind of a setup file for your drivers ? | 18:11 |
| danbhfive | [TiZ]: but, changing partitions is one of the most dangerous operations one can do with a comp | 18:11 |
| astro76 | MrNaz: yes | 18:11 |
| mohkohn | HymnToLife, thanks | 18:11 |
| HymnToLife | MrNaz: yes, it will work on your Core 2 too | 18:11 |
| anirudh1 | [TiZ], maybe you could defrag...whats the filesystem type fat16 or fat32? | 18:11 |
| MrNaz | HymnToLife thanks | 18:12 |
| bijur | fat16!! who uses that now!?!? | 18:12 |
| anirudh1 | bijur, on flash disks | 18:12 |
| [TiZ] | anirudh1, I've been defragging several times. It's a fat32 filesystem, and I've been using AusLogics Disk Defrag. | 18:12 |
| MrNaz | HymnToLife do you know if I'd get any noticable performance gains? | 18:12 |
| HymnToLife | pretty much all flash drives* | 18:12 |
| bijur | anirudh: really? dinn know that :) thanks | 18:12 |
| HymnToLife | MrNaz: most likely you won't | 18:12 |
| LaKiLaKi | bijur: there is no squid.log | 18:12 |
| LaKiLaKi | ??? | 18:12 |
| HymnToLife | but that depends on what you do | 18:12 |
| anirudh1 | bijur, on _small_ flash disks | 18:12 |
| MrNaz | HymnToLife ok thanks | 18:12 |
| robg_ | TiZ: are you attempting to move an OS ? Don't even try. | 18:12 |
| jope | jack it says it cannot open inut file | 18:13 |
| [TiZ] | robg_: It's Wubi. | 18:13 |
| jope | input | 18:13 |
| anirudh1 | [TiZ], hmm...do you have a backup on another partition | 18:13 |
| bijur | lakilaki: sigh, i dont know man ! sorry abt that | 18:13 |
| mohkohn | bcmwl5.sys is the closest I see here. that is not the same is it? | 18:13 |
| [TiZ] | anirudh1: No, unfortunately. I have a laptop with a 160GB hard drive. | 18:13 |
| bijur | lakilaki: there should be some sort of logging, check ur config files, i dont know how you can fix something without logs | 18:13 |
| anirudh1 | bijur, that is strange ...something as important as squid must have logs | 18:14 |
| HymnToLife | mohkohn: you'll most liely need that too, you can find the location of the INF file from the device manager | 18:14 |
| bijur | lakilaki: check atleast ur dmesg or syslog or something grep over for squid | 18:14 |
| LaKiLaKi | bijur: well.. thx anyway ill try to find it :) | 18:14 |
| CroX | Anyone know of a slick way to connect to a VPN without having to keep a terminal window open? I rather not daemon it either, since I want to easily be able to disconnect. | 18:14 |

| [TiZ] | anirudh1: I gave 15GB to Windows XP and 134GB to other data. | 18:14 |
| bijur | anirudh1: exactly why i thot it wud have logs, i think there would be, especially since its a service | 18:14 |
| LaKiLaKi | anirudh1: ok ill try it | 18:14 |
| ifireball | LaKiLaKi: there is something called squidview that provides a nice viewer for squid logs | 18:15 |
| astro76 | CroX: screen or nohup | 18:15 |
| bijur | anirudh1: or easier type locate squid |grep log | 18:15 |

| julian | can someone direct me to a site with cool ubuntu themes | 18:15 |
| sharms | bijur - I beg to differ | 18:16 |
| sharms | julian - www.gnome-look.org | 18:16 |
| kam0084 | search for gnome-llok | 18:16 |
| anirudh1 | julian, gnome-look.org | 18:16 |
| stickystyle | which version of debian did 6.06 (Dapper) pull its upstream packages from? | 18:16 |
| bijur | julian: gnome-look.org | 18:16 |
| kam0084 | look | 18:16 |
| Nostahl | gah! my ubuntu cd got scratched and im doing a reinstall lol it cant find the kernel image so i have to download it again to burn so i can get ubuntu running | 18:16 |
| noob-africa | if - and i stress the word IF - your website was hacked, and all the access codes blocked, would your ISP be able to do a master-reset and give u back your web space? | 18:16 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | julian: gnome-look.org | 18:16 |
| Nostahl | just wiped vista clean off the laptop | 18:16 |
| [TiZ] | anirudh1, my Wubi install is 8GB. It's split across 3 disks: a swap one that's just under 1GB, and two others that are under 4 and 3GB. | 18:16 |
| ifireball | LaKiLaKi: other then that the logs are probably somewhere in /var/log and probably called squid.something or in a directory by that name | 18:16 |
| fawaz | julian: gnome-looks.com | 18:16 |
| noob-africa | i mean, your web hosting service... | 18:16 |
| bijur | sharms: dude, just kidding pal! pardon this piece of dust ;) | 18:16 |
| julian | cool. thanks for the responses | 18:16 |
| blindguy | having some problems trying to setup a SCSI HD array - I can see the single drives but can't mount any of them - using a adaptec RAID card - anything think they can assist? | 18:16 |
| [TiZ] | anirudh1, they're virtual disks, by the way | 18:16 |
| danbhfive | stickystyle: you might have better luck in #ubuntu+1 | 18:16 |
| LaKiLaKi | ifireball: i try squidview | 18:16 |
| LaKiLaKi | ifireball: and guess what, there is no log :( | 18:17 |
| bijur | noob: thats a very vague question | 18:17 |
| sharms | noob-africa - that is dependent on your web host's backup policies and the number of snapshots they have, and if those snapshots contain uncompromised code | 18:17 |
| anirudh1 | sharms, well...we always keep learning..dont we.. | 18:17 |
| bijur | noob: depends on what u r talking abt , when u say a website, is it an individual server as such or is it just a hosting account? | 18:17 |
| noob-africa | sharms: aha... well, continue.. u r shedding some light on the issue | 18:17 |
| sharms | anirudh1,bijur - I am just saying Ubuntu is for everyone, noob to expert, linux is linux :) | 18:17 |
| noob-africa | bijur: a hosting account... not an individual server | 18:17 |
| ifireball | LaKiLaKi: you need to run it as root, e.g. with sudo, the log typically isn't accessible to normal users | 18:18 |
| bijur | sharms: heard the words "joke" "kidding" "light-hearted humour" etc | 18:18 |
| anirudh1 | [TiZ], cant think of any straighforward way for you...guess its easiest to just use partition magic..that should minimize the risk involved | 18:18 |
| noob-africa | LaKiLaKi: that's a cute nickname... i wonder what it stands for... lol | 18:18 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | hi everyone, iwant to ask how to change resolution in ubuntu hardy,...help me | 18:18 |
| bijur | sharms: by the way ubuntu is dangerously tilting the way redhat/xandros etc etc went | 18:18 |
| LaKiLaKi | ifireball: i see | 18:18 |
| bijur | sharms : too much commercialisation | 18:18 |
| [TiZ] | anirudh1, I have the GParted LiveCD. Is that better or worse than Partition Magic? | 18:18 |
| kam0084 | system-prteferences-screen resolution | 18:18 |
| danbhfive | anirudh1: why are you suggesting partition magic? why not gparted? | 18:19 |
| noob-africa | ubuntu_newbie_in: can u be more specific? what graphics card are u using? | 18:19 |
| mohkohn | HymnToLife, would it also be somewhere on the XP install disk | 18:19 |
| anirudh1 | noob-africa, lakilaki sounds like a japanese anime character to me :) | 18:19 |
| mohkohn | ? | 18:19 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | nvidia Gforce | 18:19 |
| anirudh1 | ubuntu_newbie_in, under system->prefs-.screen resolution | 18:19 |
| HymnToLife | mohkohn: no, you should have some kind of a setup file for your drivers | 18:19 |
| HymnToLife | they're in there | 18:19 |
| noob-africa | ubuntu_newbie_in: have u installed the nvidia settings manager? | 18:19 |
| bijur | i have agree with anirudh here, partition magic is aMUCH better tool | 18:19 |
| mo | hey does sombody know if thinkfinger works in kde4? | 18:19 |
| HymnToLife | or you an also google for them | 18:19 |
| sharms | bijur - yeah what I mean is a distro is a distro is a distro, there isn't much difference, we all use the same upstreams etc, really slackware isn't an expert distro any more than ubuntu is | 18:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] Read the faq on the wubi wiki, moving that lvm wubi install may be a problem.... I would rather see you go into ubuntu, and save your /home to a usb | 18:19 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | i cant change it to 1280 x 1024 | 18:19 |
| ifireball | LaKiLaKi: it make sense when you figure out that the log contains all the information about where everybody surfed to | 18:19 |
| anirudh1 | danbhfive, because...heretical as it might sound...partition magic is better | 18:19 |
| robg_ | TiZ: It depends where you want to repartition, inside Windows, inside Linux, or outside the OSses. | 18:20 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | in ubuntu 7.10 it works | 18:20 |
| bnovc | i installed wubi on a laptop today and upon booting it tried to connect to wireless ... the icon shows up in the corner but no networks are listed | 18:20 |
| anirudh1 | ubuntu_newbie_in, then maybe xorg doesnt know that that resolution is supported | 18:20 |
| bnovc | and when i try to connect to a network it doesnt give me any information then the spinning icon disappears | 18:20 |
| mo | thinkfinger in kde? in ubuntu 7.10? | 18:20 |
| anirudh1 | mo...yes | 18:20 |
| anirudh1 | mo: works for me | 18:20 |
| bijur | whats ur graphics card? | 18:20 |
| noob-africa | ubuntu_newbie_in: try sudo apt-get install envyng | 18:20 |
| HymnToLife | mo: I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work | 18:20 |
| bijur | ubuntu_newbie_in whats ur graphics card? | 18:20 |
| CmdPrmtMdnss | hey all i accidently delete a partion in a hard drive any one know how to retrive the data | 18:20 |
| ifireball | anirudh1: I beg to differ, PM makes a lousy job at it | 18:20 |
| jope | ok i want to start this from the beginning could someone verify how i find out for sure the name of the driver i need please? i want to start from the beginning | 18:20 |
| anirudh1 | noob-africa, what would that do? | 18:21 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | in ubuntu 7.10 i can chang it to 1280x1024 if i can change the type of monitor | 18:21 |
| HymnToLife | pm is evil | 18:21 |
| anirudh1 | ifireball, you beg to differ about what? | 18:21 |
| HymnToLife | use gparted | 18:21 |
| bijur | ifireball: dude if PM makes a lousy job, then good luck with qparted :)) | 18:21 |
| bnovc | shouldn't the network connection gui pass on SOME type of information when it tries to connect? | 18:21 |
| mo | okay thx4all cya | 18:21 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | in hardy i can't found to change it | 18:21 |
| === yclian_ is now known as yclian | ||
| [TiZ] | Jack_Sparrow, why? | 18:21 |
| CmdPrmtMdnss | gparted? ok is there a recovery option | 18:21 |
| HymnToLife | for recovery ? | 18:21 |
| bijur | there are several windows based good partition tools, i think using one of them wud be a better idea than gparted etc. | 18:22 |
| ifireball | anirudh1: about PM being any good; bijur: I use plain old fdisk myself; though qtparted seemed OK that last time I tried it | 18:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] Do you have any backup of ubuntu? | 18:22 |
| Ranpha1 | Hi there ... i need to make a txt file with a lot of numbers from number 1 till 8600. I was wondering if there was a program which can does this automatic , so that you get 1 2 3 4 5 and so on | 18:22 |
| noob-africa | ubuntu_newbie_in: envygn is the driver installer for all nvidia cards, and it will let u set the resolution as well | 18:22 |
| CmdPrmtMdnss | yeah....i need to try to save in the data on the drive | 18:22 |
| anirudh1 | ubuntu_newbie_in, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 18:22 |
| bijur | ifireball: using fdisk is no big deal, but when u want to resize a partition without losing data, then fdisk is no good is it? | 18:22 |
| jope | ok i want to start this from the beginning could someone verify how i find out for sure the name of the driver i need please? i want to start from the beginning? | 18:23 |
| [TiZ] | Jack_Sparrow, no, not right now. My iPod's battery is dead, and until it comes back, I've nowhere to back it up. | 18:23 |
| anirudh1 | ifireball, completely agree with bijur | 18:23 |
| noob-africa | anirudh1: yea, that works too, but there is something about dep mod? | 18:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] I would suggest that be your priority | 18:23 |
| anirudh1 | noob-africa, that comes into the picture only when you talk about kernel modules | 18:23 |
| blindguy | having some problems trying to setup a SCSI HD array - I can see the single drives but can't mount any of them - using a adaptec RAID card - anything think they can assist? | 18:23 |
| [TiZ] | It may fit on a dual-layer DVD, though. | 18:23 |
| [TiZ] | should I just burn the disk images to one? | 18:24 |
| |johnny| | hello | 18:24 |
| anirudh1 | [TiZ], that would be easier | 18:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] I wont use or recommend wubi, but since you have, I suggest you read the faq and learn all you can about what it is and how to deal with it | 18:24 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | nvidia glx in ubuntu 7.10 can't install in ubuntu8.04 | 18:24 |
| kam0084 | hey | 18:24 |
| ifireball | bijur: when you want to resize you used a dedicated resizing tool to resize the FS and then resize the partition; running some flavor of fsck before and after | 18:24 |
| noob-africa | anirudh1: ok... i get u | 18:24 |
| |johnny| | i need some help please with ubuntu | 18:24 |
| noob-africa | ubuntu_newbie_in: i had the same problem... try EnvyNG, u can even install it under Synaptic | 18:24 |
| marathe25 | Is there any way to get Ubuntu to remember the changes I make to window sizes, etc. | 18:24 |
| kam0084 | just ask | 18:24 |
| |johnny| | i have problem with the keyboard | 18:24 |
| astro76 | Ranpha1: a spread sheet could do it ;) | 18:24 |
| martian67 | is there any way | 18:24 |
| martian67 | to use grub | 18:25 |
| anirudh1 | ifireball, the question is about resizing when you have data at the end of the partition...it is in this case that PM comes to its own | 18:25 |
| martian67 | to boot an iso IMAGE> | 18:25 |
| ubuntu_newbie_in | it stil doesn't works | 18:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] If you are talking about using windows to burn the wubi install.. I think you are asking for trouble | 18:25 |
| anirudh1 | martian67, yes | 18:25 |
| martian67 | anirudh1: how"? | 18:25 |
| qpPuMeH | Hello people! can somebody help me? my built in mic doesent work on hardy. any advices?? | 18:25 |
| bijur | ifireball: dude u crack me up :) peace | 18:25 |
| noob-africa | well, who can tell me about the website thingie? | 18:25 |
| |johnny| | i choose alt+right shift to change language and everytime i reboot doesnt work anymore | 18:25 |
| [TiZ] | Um... why, Jack_Sparrow? They're just disk images. | 18:25 |
| anirudh1 | !google|martian67 | 18:25 |
| ubottu | martian67: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux | 18:25 |
| ifireball | bijur: the problem with PM is that it does too much, when you tell it to do a simple resize it often "takes the opportunity" to rearrange the partition table and add strange gaps to it etc. | 18:25 |
| martian67 | anirudh1: die | 18:25 |
| Nostahl | check if its turned on in alsamixer qppumeh | 18:25 |
| anirudh1 | lol | 18:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] good luck.. | 18:26 |
| kam0084 | qpPuMeh - open volume control, check if mic is not muted | 18:26 |
| qpPuMeH | Nostahl: ok i will mom | 18:26 |
| hrhodes3114 | yea I made it on irc | 18:26 |
| [TiZ] | Jack_Sparrow, please tell me why you think it's a bad idea. | 18:26 |
| qpPuMeH | Nostahl: moment)) | 18:26 |
| kam0084 | and check mic capture and capture in prefs | 18:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [TiZ] have you read the wubi wiki faq | 18:26 |
| [TiZ] | Yeah, but it can't hurt to read it again. | 18:26 |
| noob-africa | hey Jack_Sparrow ... long time no see! lol | 18:26 |
| bijur | ifrieball: i agree. but i have had good experience with pm till now. the ones i dont trust is the windows partition manager especially the one in vista | 18:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hey noob-africa | 18:27 |
| bijur | it crashed my hdd once :( | 18:27 |
| anirudh1 | bijur, vista sucks...cant even copy files properly | 18:27 |
| qpPuMeH | Nostahl: i have 3 mics there intern extern and docking all of them on | 18:27 |

| LaKiLaKi | are you? | 18:27 |
| nando2 | fine | 18:27 |
| bullgard4 | After upgrading Gutsy to Hardy, GNOME shows some identifiers in English and others in German although '~$ locale' returns "LANG=de_DE.UTF8". For example, the GNOME menu shows 'Applications', 'Places', 'System' but their menu items are largely German. How to troubleshoot? | 18:27 |
| noob-africa | Jack_Sparrow: can we PM? i need to ask u some website recovery issues... | 18:27 |
| bijur | anirudh1: for an OS that took 6 years, i agree it does, but on the security front, its pbbly the most secure os made by m$, but then yeah i know what u mean | 18:28 |
| |johnny| | anyone to help me out? | 18:28 |
| anirudh1 | bijur, secure to the extent of paranoia | 18:28 |
| n8ature | hello.. how can I tell if I am running 32 or 64bit kernel? | 18:28 |
| nando2 | hello????????????? | 18:28 |
| marathe25 | Is there any way to get GNOME to remember changes I make in windows sizes, etc? Especially within programs. | 18:28 |
| bijur | johnny what happend? | 18:28 |
| Jessica601 | is there a command line util for getting and building packages? | 18:28 |
| bijur | uname -r | 18:29 |
| astro76 | n8ature: uname -8 | 18:29 |
| ifireball | bijur: well I suppose its a question of mileage, I've had a lousy experience with it, including time when it massed the ptable so bad it couldn't be started | 18:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | noob-africa I need to get some work done.... someone will know.. take care.. I will be lurking to handle problems.. but not questions.. | 18:29 |
| astro76 | n8ature: uname -a | 18:29 |
| anirudh1 | Jeruvy,cclarify | 18:29 |
| bijur | n9ature: uname -r | 18:29 |
| bijur | oops | 18:29 |
| bijur | yeah -a | 18:29 |
| bijur | :)) | 18:29 |
| anirudh1 | Jessica601, clarify | 18:29 |
| FloodBot3 | bijur: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:29 |
| |johnny| | layout switching doesnt work after reboot | 18:29 |
| anirudh1 | Jeruvy, sorry | 18:29 |
| |johnny| | alt+shift | 18:29 |
| danbhfive | Jessica601: i think the utils you would use for getting differs from building packages | 18:29 |
| |johnny| | if i press with the mouse on the keyboard indicator i have a language switch but it doesnt write greek | 18:30 |
| Jessica601 | ani: i just installed server, and i need to install a ssh telnet host kinda app | 18:30 |
| anirudh1 | danbhfive, its a generic question...what is meant by "getting" packages...getting debs or tarballs? | 18:30 |
| Byron1 | what program uses xorg.conf during startup? | 18:30 |
| n8ature | thanks | 18:30 |
| noob-africa | hi Jessica601 ... i was just wondering.... what's the 601 for? | 18:30 |

| Byron1 | Thanks anirudh1 but what is the actual file | 18:31 |
| davidc007 | ubottu: is ubuntu better than windows | 18:31 |
| ubottu | davidc007: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:31 |
| jrib | !apt > Jessica601 (read the private message from ubottu) | 18:31 |
| anirudh1 | Jessica601, you are looking for an ssh server? then openssh-server is the package..through synaptic | 18:31 |
| Jessica601 | ani, telnetd and sshd didnt seem to be included in the server distro | 18:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | davidc007 Sorry but that is offtopic in here... you would not get an unbiased answer anyhow | 18:31 |
| evan_ | !pastebin | 18:31 |
| qpPuMeH | kam0084: if i do recording i cant hear anything | 18:31 |
| 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) | 18:31 |
| |johnny| | anirudh1:YES | 18:31 |
| anirudh1 | Byron1, X | 18:31 |
| jrib | Jessica601: all those things are packaged in ubuntu's repository. help.ubuntu.com has the server guide, that will probably be helpful | 18:31 |
| Jessica601 | so what is the tool to get the package? | 18:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jessica601 apt-get install xxx or aptitude... | 18:32 |
| davidc007 | Jack_Sparrow: testing the bot | 18:32 |
| kam0084 | qpPuMeh : open sound recording, then volume control | 18:32 |
| Jessica601 | ok | 18:32 |
| anirudh1 | |johnny|, i've had a similar problem with hindi support..dont know a fix yet | 18:32 |
| davidc007 | ubottu: wine | 18:32 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 18:32 |
| Jessica601 | so app-get install openssh? | 18:32 |
| AcornAcorn | how do you change what extra buttons on your mouse do? | 18:32 |
| |johnny| | i see so is a common proble not just me | 18:32 |

| Flannel | Jessica601: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html | 18:33 |
| kam0084 | enable it, if its muted and open prefenrences, then check mic capture and capture | 18:33 |
| anirudh1 | |johnny|, hindi is worse..the script is not latin :) | 18:33 |
| bijur | Jessica601: u can find the name of a package by typing in apt-cache search ssh server | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !buttons | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto | 18:33 |
| kam0084 | it should works | 18:33 |
| linkmaster03 | command to create a new folder? | 18:33 |
| Flannel | linkmaster03: mkdir | 18:33 |
| linkmaster03 | thank you | 18:33 |
| jrib | !cli > linkmaster03 (read the private message from ubottu) | 18:33 |
| bijur | Jessica601: then use this package name u got there to do a sudo apt-get install <package_name> | 18:33 |
| qpPuMeH | kam0084: if didnt have any capture otptions | 18:33 |
| |johnny| | i must wait for UBUNTU NEW VERSION TO BE FIXED OR IT MAY BE FIXXED WITH AN UPDATE? | 18:33 |

| Jessica601 | doh | 18:35 |
| anirudh1 | Jessica601, as people have said , its apt-get | 18:35 |

| jlc | ubottu, how do I get opera for x64? | 18:35 |
| ubottu | jlc: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:35 |
| Flannel | sharms: She's on a server install | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jessica601 apt not app | 18:35 |
| sharms | No reason to go to command line | 18:35 |
| [TiZ] | anirudh1, and besides, even if I did a fresh install, I'd face the same partitioning problems. | 18:35 |
| sharms | Flannel: ah good reason to go to command line | 18:35 |
| Flannel | sharms: generally ;) | 18:35 |
| dassouki | is there a solution for why 8.04's audio can't handle more than one app at a time | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !apt | 18:36 |

| === jordan is now known as azimuth | ||
| sharms | AcornAcorn - Install compiz config and add them as hot keys | 18:36 |
| anirudh1 | sharms, you talk about not being a noob...and then ask for a reason to go to the command line :) | 18:36 |
| ross | how do i check my browser (firefox) version? | 18:36 |
| ross | is there a command that i can use on the terminal | 18:36 |
| azimuth | ross, go to help->about | 18:36 |
| AcornAcorn | sharms, I have compiz config | 18:36 |
| maek | be very careful when helping anyone people Flannel is here | 18:36 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: A few hours ago you suggested to file a bug report because a part of my GNOME identifiers appears in German and the rest in English. I think that is too early. First I need a theory what other causes might be the reason for this error. | 18:36 |
| anirudh1 | ross, help->about firefox | 18:37 |
| jlc | erUSUL, will epiphany run on x64? | 18:37 |
| qpPuMeH | kam0084: any advices??? | 18:37 |
| sharms | anirudh1 - Just because the command line is more efficient for me doesn't mean I am too dense to understand that for 99% of people command line is not good | 18:37 |
| AcornAcorn | sharms, do you know where abouts the setting would be? | 18:37 |
| erUSUL | jlc: yep | 18:37 |
| jrib | bullgard4: I suggested you search for a bug report as you definitely should have the german language if you selected it when you logged in | 18:37 |
| anirudh1 | sharms, if you dont direct them to it, they are never going to learn it | 18:37 |
| azimuth | sharms, i think the command line is much easier for more than 1% of all people | 18:37 |
| |johnny| | ANYONE ? | 18:37 |
| azimuth | id say 50 | 18:37 |
| ross | is versino 3.0b5 the latest verision? | 18:37 |

| jrib | !helpme | |johnny| | 18:37 |
| ubottu | |johnny|: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 18:37 |

| DaVinci2008 | nothing | 18:37 |
| anirudh1 | ross: or firefox --version | 18:37 |

| DaVinci2008 | help! | 18:38 |
| erUSUL | jlc: yes | 18:38 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: Thank you for your comment. I will snoop somewhat in Launchpad. | 18:38 |
| sharms | AcornAcorn - not sure on that one, i am looking under compiz config but it restricts it to changing with scroll wheel, you might have to google for gconf settings to make it happen | 18:38 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, looks like some critical library got corrupted | 18:38 |

| Flannel | jlc: If you want a different version, traversing the FTP should work | 18:38 |
| sharms | anirudh1, azimuth - They don't need to learn it, why not just let them point and click it? | 18:38 |
| erUSUL | jlc: nope is epipahny-browser | 18:38 |
| ross | is there a way to keep a window visible while another window (maxed to the whole screen) is being displayed? | 18:39 |

| Flannel | jlc: Also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser might have other things you need to do when installing it | 18:39 |
| AcornAcorn | sharms, I suppose scroll wheel would be good too, where do you activate that? | 18:39 |
| sharms | anirudh1, azimuth - The goal of ubuntu is to provide a usable system for everybody, not forced learning of command lines | 18:39 |
| DaVinci2008 | help! | 18:39 |
| ross | i mean, is there a way to keep a window visible no matter what | 18:39 |
| SeaPhor | can you edit/copy a man display to a txt file? | 18:39 |

| DaVinci2008 | how can I reinstall the packages without the package manager? | 18:39 |
| jrib | ross: right click on the title bar -> always on top | 18:39 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, run oowriter from the terminal...it will tell you the problem | 18:39 |
| DaVinci2008 | or do I have to reinstall the whole OS? | 18:39 |
| jlc | Flannel, ty. | 18:39 |

| sharms | AcornAcorn - from there click your plugin, and the first tab will have the key settings to remap | 18:40 |
| azimuth | DaVinci, please share what u did to solve ur problem | 18:40 |
| DaVinci2008 | I had installed libstdc++.so.* and it crashed it all | 18:40 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, care to share it? | 18:40 |
| DaVinci2008 | so, I removed them | 18:40 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, oh no | 18:40 |
| [TiZ] | Alright, I've got some down-time while that burns. So I've got another burning question. | 18:40 |
| DaVinci2008 | why Ubuntu does not come with those libraries? | 18:40 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, what do you mean you removed it | 18:41 |
| Assid | heya.. i got an old ubuntu installation.. i need to load up the server edition on it | 18:41 |
| Assid | or rather update it | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | I had copied them to /usr/local/lib | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | they were not there... so I deleted them | 18:41 |
| azimuth | Assid, just go to update manager | 18:41 |
| [TiZ] | I've been using KVIrc for Windows. I love it. But for Linux, it's supposedly only for KDE. Is there any way to run it in GNOME? | 18:41 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, you removed all stdc++*? | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | from there | 18:41 |
| hrhodes3114 | lol | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | no, just the ones I copied | 18:41 |
| hrhodes3114 | I know your watching | 18:41 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, ok | 18:41 |
| hrhodes3114 | lol | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | I can't find the original ones | 18:41 |
| azimuth | <TiZ, just find an alternative | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | where are they? | 18:41 |
| sharms | [TiZ]- you can run any kde program under gnome | 18:41 |
| Assid | azimuth: remote server..i need the sources.list first | 18:41 |
| hrhodes3114 | Hi Kim | 18:41 |
| azimuth | sharms, how? | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | I do whereis libstdc++ and it shows nothing | 18:41 |
| [TiZ] | How, sharms? | 18:41 |
| anirudh1 | [TiZ], kde apps work in gnome | 18:41 |
| DaVinci2008 | strange | 18:42 |
| qpPuMeH | my built in mic doesent works onn hardy please help me out!!! | 18:42 |
| [TiZ] | Please enlighten me. :) | 18:42 |
| Flannel | [TiZ]: You just have a bit of overhead since you'll have both libraries in memory. Just install it through package management | 18:42 |
| julian | Can anyone recommend an application to begin creating a website | 18:42 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, the fact that you are still online means everything is fine :) | 18:42 |
| qpPuMeH | my built in mic doesent works onn hardy please help me out!!! | 18:42 |
| sharms | azimuth, [TiZ] - All of these programs just use 'toolkits' to draw. You can run any kde program just fine under gnome, only issue might be themes wont match up | 18:42 |
| [TiZ] | That's really it, huh? Okay, thanks! | 18:42 |
| Flannel | julian: check out kompozer | 18:42 |
| DaVinci2008 | ah yes | 18:42 |
| Assid | can anyone put up their sources.list for me pelase.. | 18:42 |
| DaVinci2008 | I just want to know where they are and their version | 18:42 |
| ross | i cannot play dvds on my computer | 18:42 |
| GottaBeAndrew | i'm using the blubuntu theme. when i put a window full screen then put a non-fullscreen one infront of it, the full screen one's title bar thing turns from blue to see-through (like all windows do when they're not the focussed one). how do i stop it from doing this when it's full screen? | 18:42 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, libstdc++ is so fundamental..you cant work if it gets corrupted | 18:42 |
| xintron | how do I create a bash file script and then run it? | 18:42 |
| julian | ok thanks flannel | 18:42 |
| ross | i am using totem movie player | 18:42 |
| [TiZ] | Thank you for that valuable information, guys. :) | 18:42 |

| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, then do export LD_PRELOAD_PATH=<folder-name>:LD_PRELOAD_PATH | 18:44 |
| maek | you know perfectly well Flannel | 18:44 |
| hrhodes3114 | lol | 18:44 |
| DaVinci2008 | thanks | 18:44 |
| hrhodes3114 | lmfao | 18:44 |
| DaVinci2008 | they are in /usr/lib, but version 6 and I need 5 | 18:44 |
| Assid | so can someone help me with this | 18:44 |
| Lynet | Assid: Hardy? There should be a default sources.list in /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list | 18:44 |
| Assid | geez | 18:44 |
| jrib | maek: let's try to stay on topic | 18:44 |
| Assid | do you guys read what i write? | 18:44 |
| hrhodes3114 | cool | 18:44 |
| qpPuMeH | had somebody problems with built in mic on ubuntu 8.04?? | 18:44 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, put version 5 in a seperate folder...mixing libstdc++ versions is harakiri | 18:44 |
| DaVinci2008 | so, I will copy version 5 from slackware, or is there an ftp for ubuntu version 5 of libstdc++? | 18:44 |
| DaVinci2008 | yes | 18:44 |
| DaVinci2008 | in /usr/local/lib | 18:45 |
| jrib | Assid: you need to write everything on a single line | 18:45 |
| Lynet | Assid: No. Not in a channel as busy as this when you split your stuff over many many lines. | 18:45 |
| hrhodes3114 | irc is fun | 18:45 |
| Assid | its an OLD ubuntu installation . i want to bring it to current.. its a remote server.. so i gotta do this in shell. now.. i need to update this.. how do i go about updating it | 18:45 |
| jrib | Assid: how old? what version? | 18:45 |
| erUSUL | !upgrade | Assid | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Assid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 18:45 |
| Flannel | Assid: `deb [repository] ubuntu main restricted universe multiverse` then replace ubuntu with ubuntu-updates and ubuntu-security. That's all there is to it. Also, remove restricted/multiverse/universe if you don't want to use those | 18:45 |
| anirudh1 | Assid, you can only upgrade to the next higher version | 18:45 |
| Assid | feisty | 18:45 |
| hrhodes3114 | byron ? | 18:45 |
| Flannel | Assid: Oh. What version of Ubuntu is it? | 18:45 |
| lele_ | ciao | 18:45 |
| AcornAcorn | how do you tell what the names are for buttons on your mouse? i assumed they were called 4 and 5 but that doesn't work | 18:45 |
| Assid | feisty | 18:45 |
| anirudh1 | Assid, eg dapper->edgy and not dapper->gutsy | 18:45 |
| soundray | How do I disable automounting of USB drives in hardy? Not through Removable Drives and Media any more apparently... | 18:45 |
| jrib | Assid: ubottu's message answers your question then | 18:45 |
| esteth | when i go to smb://mshome and try to create a folder, i get the message "operation not supported by backend". What do i need to do insteaD? | 18:46 |
| Flannel | anirudh1: No, dapper -> hardy is possible. but only dapper and go to hardy (well, and gutsy) | 18:46 |
| hrhodes3114 | I love log files | 18:46 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, open up computer:// | 18:46 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, right click on the drive...then go to volume properties | 18:46 |
| Jessica601 | Any suggestions for an sftp server? | 18:46 |
| lele_ | list | 18:46 |
| bijur | Jessica: proftp is good | 18:47 |
| lele_ | !list | 18:47 |
| ubottu | I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 18:47 |
| Assid | anirudh1: feisty -> hardy | 18:47 |
| bijur | Jessica601: proftp is good. | 18:47 |
| ross | how can i access my computer remotely (ubuntu) | 18:47 |
| Flannel | Assid: You'll have to go feisty -> gutsy -> hardy | 18:47 |
| hrhodes3114 | lol | 18:47 |
| TheMaverick` | SSH | 18:47 |
| soundray | anirudh1: so I can't prevent mounting before I plug it in? | 18:47 |
| bijur | ross: openvpn, vnc | 18:47 |
| Assid | oh boy | 18:47 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, you only need to do it once | 18:47 |
| bijur | ross: yes ofcourse ssh :D | 18:47 |
| hrhodes3114 | :) | 18:48 |
| anirudh1 | ross: ssh -X | 18:48 |
| TheMaverick` | lol | 18:48 |

| hrhodes3114 | The Mav | 18:48 |
| bijur | ross: try using vnc | 18:48 |
| ross | ok | 18:48 |
| anirudh1 | ross: -X is not a smiley | 18:48 |
| TheMaverick` | hrhodes3114: ? | 18:48 |
| bijur | anirudh :))) | 18:48 |
| hrhodes3114 | yep | 18:48 |
| hrhodes3114 | hi | 18:48 |
| ross | what is -X? | 18:48 |
| bijur | hey anyone here interested in mud | 18:48 |
| soundray | anirudh1: once per device, or once for all USB external drives? | 18:49 |
| TheMaverick` | hiya | 18:49 |
| hrhodes3114 | I love ubuntu | 18:49 |
| DaVinci2008 | anirudh1: cool, I have both version 5 and 6 of libstdc++ running, thanks for all | 18:49 |
| anirudh1 | ross: forwards the x session | 18:49 |
| bijur | some coding some building, completely open source | 18:49 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, depends | 18:49 |
| DaVinci2008 | thanks to everybody, this channel is very useful! | 18:49 |
| Flannel | bijur: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. | 18:49 |
| hrhodes3114 | yes sir | 18:49 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, whether you modify the volume or the drive properties | 18:49 |
| douglas | Hey. | 18:49 |
| soundray | anirudh1: what if I have a drive with ten partitions and I want to prevent ten Nautilus windows from popping up? | 18:49 |
| hrhodes3114 | hello | 18:49 |
| anirudh1 | DaVinci2008, useful-yes...sane-no | 18:49 |
| hrhodes3114 | lol | 18:49 |
| DaVinci2008 | ? | 18:49 |
| DaVinci2008 | hehe | 18:49 |
| douglas | Is there a program specifically to broadcast to ShoutCAST for ubuntu? | 18:49 |
| Flannel | douglas: icecast | 18:50 |
| DaVinci2008 | why not sane? | 18:50 |
| redwyrm | when I press suspend, my computer doesn't lock the screen. I'm just upgraded to the latest version of ubuntu (8.04). Before the upgrade, it _did_ lock the screen when I pressed the suspend button. how do I fix this? | 18:50 |
| Flannel | douglas: oh, sorry. Uh, there are lots of source clients. mpd is one, ices2 is available, etc. | 18:50 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, then you are looking for editint the "drive" properties in computer://, rather than the "volume" properties :) | 18:50 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, i know..can be frustrating when ten windows pop up in the middle of work | 18:50 |
| robg_ | soundray: 10 paritions is over the top. | 18:50 |
| ross | where do I go and open ports for my firewall? | 18:50 |
| douglas | Flannel: i can't seem to make icecast work | 18:50 |
| Assid | great.. my sources.list points to a location that has no updates | 18:50 |
| douglas | i'm a moron | 18:50 |
| Assid | stupid ovh mirror | 18:51 |
| douglas | but regardless | 18:51 |
| douglas | i prefer shotcast | 18:51 |
| douglas | shoutcast | 18:51 |
| FloodBot3 | douglas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:51 |
| anirudh1 | robg_, not really...nowadays there are 1Tb hdds | 18:51 |
| soundray | anirudh1: that's not just frustrating, that's broken. | 18:51 |
| soundray | anirudh1: I'll file a bug | 18:51 |
| erUSUL | ross: what firewall did you instaled? | 18:51 |
| anirudh1 | soundray, you mean a feature request? | 18:51 |
| ross | erUSUL; i don't knwo | 18:51 |
| hrhodes3114 | I need to have my channels logging from now on | 18:51 |
| soundray | robg_: if Ubuntu provides 16 nodes, then 10 is not over the top | 18:51 |
| soundray | anirudh1: yes | 18:51 |
| Assid | can someone ATLEAST get me the sources.list for 7.04? | 18:51 |
| ross | erUSUL; i'm not even sure if i had installed one | 18:51 |
| ross | erUSUL; but i need to open some ports for remote access (VNC) | 18:52 |
| Flannel | douglas: That's fine. Any icecast sources (which might be more prevalent as a search term) should work in shoutcast. ices2 is the 'default' icecast source client, but like I said before, mpd is another (as of edgy, I believe), and well, I know there are others too, I just don't know their names. | 18:52 |
| anirudh1 | Assid, ubuntuguide.org | 18:52 |
| douglas | I'm looking for graphical ones. | 18:52 |
| douglas | Are those graphical? | 18:52 |
| erUSUL | ross: ubuntu does not enable a fw by default most likely you want to open the ports in your roputer | 18:52 |
| Flannel | Assid: You don't need to change sources.list to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#head-f2435a45758bb5836f8e5b87e90045463f8c6ec7 | 18:52 |
| FrozenFish | Guys, can I update to latest version of Clamav using Terminal or must i download the new version (not virus db) | 18:52 |
| n8ature | is it possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling? | 18:52 |
| AaronH | ross, ubuntu's stock firewall setting are all open, which is fine, because there are no programs that are a major security risk listening on the ports | 18:53 |
| Flannel | n8ature: unfortunately no | 18:53 |
| evan_ | is it possible to run shockwave? | 18:53 |

| mohkohn | I want to share my internet with Ubuntu. I have an imac. Under osx it is easy: http://www.macinstruct.com/node/118 | 18:53 |
| Flannel | FrozenFish: What's the most recent version? do you know? | 18:53 |
| mohkohn | Is there a way to do the same under ubuntu. I have Hardy | 18:53 |
| anirudh1 | n8ature, thats because _all_ libraries need to change | 18:53 |
| FrozenFish | will check | 18:53 |
| Lynet | !ics | mohkohn | 18:53 |
| ubottu | mohkohn: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 18:53 |
| erUSUL | mohkohn: firestarter can do it graphically | 18:53 |
| Flannel | FrozenFish: The version in the Hardy repos are up to date | 18:54 |
| mohkohn | thanks folks I am looking. | 18:54 |

| anirudh1 | LMJ, allow firefox to install the java plugin | 18:56 |
| mannytu | netbeans is a good IDE | 18:56 |
| anirudh1 | LMJ, go to a site that has java stuff..then allow ff to install it | 18:56 |
| === Krohnal is now known as HoocH_ | ||
| Flannel | FrozenFish: The 0.93 was a bugfix release, and as such, the changes in it were put into 0.92 in the repos, so even though it claims to be 0.92, it's really 0.93 | 18:57 |
| koheleth | really, thanks | 18:57 |
| FrozenFish | Ah, ok! Thanks a lot. Then I wont bother uninstall and then install again! | 18:57 |

| Not_A_Noob | Hi all, having a strange bug. As of last night all of a few apps take FOREVER to open even though 100% cpu usage only last for a few moments. After the apps do open (FF, Gedit, Totem) they are unusable (everything freezes). Using Hardy under XFCE. Please advise!! | 19:04 |
| anirudh1 | FrozenFish, it should have messages from the current X session atleast | 19:04 |
| MCCloak | hello, is there way to move or copy only subdirs using bash wildcards? | 19:04 |
| ifireball | sivang: it its anything like PEAR there should be a command line tool for that, though I had "installed" some such extensions in the past by simply placing the files in the directory with my other PHP files | 19:04 |
| vanksi | has anyone been able to run vmware server on hardy? | 19:04 |
| sharms | vanksi - I run vmware workstation beta on hardy | 19:04 |

| vanksi | sharms, any tips? | 19:05 |
| wolfwalker | This is a Xubuntu question, but #Xubuntu is dead. Can someone tell me where volume control is in Xubuntu? | 19:05 |
| sivang | ifireball: thanks, I think I found a way to get the installation system using apt-get install php-pear | 19:05 |
| MCCloak | is there way to move or copy only subdirs using bash wildcards? | 19:05 |
| wolfwalker | Sorry for dragging it to this channel. | 19:05 |
| * sivang tries that now | 19:05 | |
| sharms | vanski: ya there is some vmware tar file you need to patch it because it isnt new enough to work on hardy. its vmware-all-some numbers.tar.gz | 19:05 |
| anirudh1 | FrozenFish, stange...do ls -lh /var/log/*org* | 19:05 |
| sharms | vanksi - you will also need to run vmware-config.pl | 19:05 |
| anirudh1 | FrozenFish, and see of _some_ file has a >0 size | 19:06 |
| sharms | vanksi - for that I recommend sudo apt-get install build-essential | 19:06 |
| redwyrm | when I press suspend, my computer doesn't lock the screen. I'm just upgraded to the latest version of ubuntu (8.04). Before the upgrade, it _did_ lock the screen when I pressed the suspend button. how do I fix this? | 19:06 |
| xintron | I found a script for taking screenshots. it uses "import $PATH"/"$filename" to save the image. However, this gives me a cross so I can select the window to photo. Is there a way to just get a screenshot of the whole screen? Pressing esc or something like that? | 19:06 |

| Georgij | Help! When I insert an Empty DVD-RW in my disc nothing happends it says it is not even inserted! | 19:08 |
| anirudh1 | FrozenFish, you have to open it as root..only root has perms...use sudo gedit | 19:08 |

| killerboy_ | so? | 19:08 |

| Georgij | anirudh1 it was just bought from the store | 19:09 |
| killerboy_ | i want to find files in packages which aren't installed | 19:09 |
| killerboy_ | like apt-file do | 19:09 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, try "sudo mount -t auto /dev/dvd <some-folder>" | 19:09 |
| Georgij | /media/cdrom0? | 19:09 |
| act | #linuxac | 19:10 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, replace <some-folder> by a pre-existing folder | 19:10 |
| anirudh1 | yes..that'd work | 19:10 |
| sivang | ifireball: i'm missing the phpize command, do you have an idea how to bring it into ubuntu ? | 19:10 |
| redwyrm | how do I configure what my Toshiba laptop does when the lid closes? | 19:10 |

| anirudh1 | Georgij, linux is'nt recognising you dvd for some reason...no app can do anything | 19:11 |
| sivang | anirudh1: thanks! | 19:11 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, try removing..cleaning the lens head and the dvd..and reinsert | 19:12 |
| Georgij | so u are saying I bought like 20 cds for more then 20 dollars | 19:12 |
| Georgij | and it aint working? | 19:12 |
| ChaosTheory_ | When I run screen and press backspace when there's nothing there, the terminal goes into seizure mode (unless its yakuake). | 19:12 |
| mohkohn | Is it normal for firestarter to take a long time to configure? | 19:12 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, be _very_ careful while cleaning the lens head | 19:12 |
| ifireball | sivang: you could try a package search by file name with aptitude, its a little tricky, w8 | 19:12 |
| ChaosTheory_ | In other words, it flickers very rapidly. | 19:12 |
| Georgij | it aint dirty | 19:12 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, no..you are saying that :) | 19:12 |
| Georgij | It works with any other cd | 19:12 |
| biella | hmmmm | 19:12 |
| eracc | Are hardware <> Ubuntu questions on topic here? IOW I am wondering about a hardware RAID controller to use for mirroring drives that will boot Ubuntu. | 19:12 |
| ifireball | sivang: oh, you've been answered, n/m | 19:12 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, too bad...last resort then ..try in windows then | 19:13 |
| sivang | ifireball: but thank you nonetheless :) | 19:13 |

| eracc | Flare183, thanks. | 19:13 |
| killerboy_ | ????? | 19:13 |
| mohkohn | Setting up firestarter (1.0.3-6ubuntu3) .. (it seems frozen??) | 19:13 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, you mean to say 1 cd=1$ | 19:13 |
| anirudh1 | ! | 19:13 |
| Flare183 | eracc: no problem Let me know if it works | 19:13 |
| killerboy_ | Kovecses: ??? | 19:14 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, they are looting yuou | 19:14 |
| anirudh1 | *you | 19:14 |
| Flare183 | mohkohn: it may take some time | 19:14 |
| killerboy_ | MCCloak: ??? | 19:14 |
| Georgij | I dont know but they were very expensive | 19:14 |
| Flare183 | looting?? | 19:14 |
| Georgij | like 7 dvds | 19:14 |
| eracc | Flare183, does this cover specific RAID controllers? I am looking at an Adaptec. | 19:14 |
| Georgij | for 20 dollars | 19:14 |
| Flare183 | !ot | 19:14 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:14 |
| Georgij | or something | 19:14 |
| Georgij | DVD RW | 19:14 |
| mohkohn | Ok Thanks Flare183 | 19:14 |
| Flare183 | eracc: umm Idk | 19:14 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, oh..then ok | 19:14 |
| Flare183 | mohkohn: no problem | 19:14 |
| eracc | Flare183, heh, ok. I'll go look and see then. | 19:14 |
| evilbug | if i resize my ubuntu partition with a live disc,is it safe? | 19:15 |
| Flare183 | eracc: ok | 19:15 |
| Georgij | how can I install Windows Vista | 19:15 |
| Flare183 | evilbug: yes | 19:15 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, still double the price you get it here for | 19:15 |
| Georgij | If I cant burn it into a DVD? | 19:15 |
| Flare183 | Georgij: you don't | 19:15 |
| topinio | salut | 19:15 |
| ifireball | sivang: because dpkg -S only searches installed packages on only by package name | 19:15 |
| anirudh1 | lol | 19:15 |
| Georgij | I need it to play games | 19:15 |
| Flare183 | !lol | anirudh1 | 19:15 |
| ubottu | anirudh1: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 19:15 |
| Georgij | PLease someone help me to install vista | 19:15 |
| evilbug | Flare183- no danger of messing it up? (there's always a danger,i know) | 19:15 |
| Georgij | PLEASE | 19:15 |
| Georgij | I just bought very expensive DVDS that aint working | 19:15 |
| Flare183 | Georgij: Ever heard of Wine? | 19:15 |
| Georgij | Wine sucks | 19:16 |
| Georgij | Not even one game I tried works | 19:16 |
| Assid | err is there a howto on how to setup a headless ubuntu server? | 19:16 |
| anirudh1 | Flare183, i said lol to "dont install vista" :) | 19:16 |
| Flare183 | no actually if you set it up it doesn't suck | 19:16 |
| Assid | cause Xwindows doesnt start up with out it | 19:16 |
| Georgij | Well in the Wine webpage | 19:16 |
| robg_ | evilbug: you can delete and downsize parititions using Gparted. Downsizing is safe when there is nothinh on that part of the partition. | 19:16 |
| Georgij | it says on every game I search for | 19:16 |
| Flare183 | anirudh1: I know just don't use it reguarly | 19:16 |
| Georgij | Not working only works to install | 19:16 |
| Flare183 | !who | 19:16 |
| ubottu | 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 :) | 19:16 |
| evilbug | robg_- thanks | 19:16 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, you could try cedega | 19:17 |
| robg_ | evilbug: don't try to move an OS ! | 19:17 |
| laeg | why does ubuntu think it should open .i386 files with wine? | 19:17 |
| Georgij | What can Cedega do? | 19:17 |
| eracc | Flare183, hrm, this one does not help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto Excerpt: "This *is* for people who need to access raid arrays they have already created, in my case i am dual booting with winxp and i have a large amount of data i need to access in linux." | 19:17 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, cedega is meant to play windows games on linux | 19:17 |
| === blazin is now known as _r2d2_ | ||
| laeg | i want to run the .i386 files as an executable but ubuntu insists on opening it with something | 19:17 |
| eracc | I am looking to create hardware RAID that boots Ubuntu. | 19:17 |
| evilbug | robg_- i just want to cut off some empty space off of it. | 19:17 |
| Flare183 | eracc: ok then... hold on ok? | 19:18 |
| anirudh1 | laeg, you could always run it from the terminal | 19:18 |
| eracc | Flare183, looking at the other doc now ... | 19:18 |
| Georgij | It doesn't support all the games though | 19:18 |
| robg_ | evilbug: that is exactly what Gparted is good at. | 19:18 |
| anirudh1 | laeg: but first you'll need to do chmod +x | 19:18 |
| Flare183 | eracc: ok | 19:18 |
| Georgij | I need Vista to play all the games there is | 19:18 |
| Assid | err is there a howto on how to setup a headless ubuntu server? cause Xwindows doesnt start up with out it. this is a headless box | 19:18 |
| evilbug | thanks rob. | 19:18 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, if it did, we would'nt need windows :) | 19:18 |
| laeg | anirudh1: isn't setting it to run as an executable in properties the same as chmod +x? | 19:18 |
| laeg | brb | 19:18 |
| anirudh1 | laeg, yes | 19:18 |
| laeg | sothen i don't need to do that | 19:19 |
| Georgij | wouldnt need what? | 19:19 |
| laeg | i am running it from terminal | 19:19 |
| Flare183 | eracc: look at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid | 19:19 |
| jrib | Assid: did you install ubuntu server? | 19:19 |
| eracc | Flare183, ok, thanks. | 19:19 |
| laeg | anirudh1: are you certain this makes sure it's not opening it with another program? | 19:19 |
| Flare183 | !who | laeg, Georgij | 19:19 |
| ubottu | laeg, Georgij: 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 :) | 19:19 |
| anirudh1 | laeg:no | 19:19 |
| robg_ | evilbug: don't push your luck with downsizing. | 19:19 |
| Assid | jrib: yeah i asked them to do that for me | 19:19 |
| jrib | Assid: I'm not sure what you are asking. X isn't installed in the server version | 19:20 |
| satish | I'm upgrading to 8.04 from 7.10 and the when the update manager was showing that the process had less than one min to complete, the update manager showed en error and quit. How can I make sure that the upgrade is successful? | 19:20 |
| anirudh1 | laeg, just change the name of the file...thats probably easier | 19:20 |
| evilbug | robg_- i don't care that much,ubuntu's not my main os. | 19:20 |
| Assid | jrib: right.. but i can optionally install it | 19:20 |
| Georgij | Anirudh1, can you help me privately? Please. | 19:20 |
| anirudh1 | satish: the downloaded files are not lost | 19:20 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, PM | 19:20 |
| jrib | Assid: right, but why since it is headless? | 19:20 |
| erUSUL | satish: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then "lsb_release -a" | 19:20 |
| anirudh1 | satish, they are in /var/cache/apt/ | 19:20 |
| laeg | aimtrainer_: to what? | 19:20 |
| robg_ | evilbug: you can easily downsize a swap partition. That does not contain data. You may however not delete it. | 19:20 |
| Ballena | should the bootflag be set to 'on' on the primary partition that I'm going to install Ubuntu on? | 19:20 |
| laeg | anirudh1: to what? | 19:21 |
| anirudh1 | satish, as erUSUL says .... | 19:21 |
| satish | anirudh1: yes they are there in /var/cache/apt/archive | 19:21 |
| Assid | jrib: the person whose gonna admin it is umm.. not console savvy.. so i think i might have to get him a vnc access to it | 19:21 |
| killerboy_ | i see that nobody knows | 19:21 |
| anirudh1 | laeg, change the extension to .run or something...then make sure it is executavle | 19:21 |
| killerboy_ | maybe there isn't such program!!!!!!! | 19:21 |
| jrib | Assid: you don't need all of X for that afaik. googling "headless ubuntu server vnc" turns up some promising results | 19:22 |
| anirudh1 | killerboy_, what does apt-file do? | 19:22 |
| anirudh1 | satish, so you dont need to waste bandwidth downloading again | 19:22 |
| anirudh1 | !apt-file | 19:22 |
| ubottu | apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" | 19:22 |
| killerboy_ | anirudh1: when you know the name of file ot gives you the name of package | 19:22 |
| ifireball | killerboy_: what are you looking for? | 19:23 |
| anirudh1 | dpkg-query does the same thing | 19:23 |
| killerboy_ | graphical interface to apt-file | 19:23 |
| anirudh1 | killerboy_, konqueror has it | 19:23 |
| Georgij | Do I have to pay to download Cedega? | 19:23 |
| anirudh1 | killerboy_, type apt:/ to bring it up | 19:23 |
| Flannel | Ballena: Traditionally yes, but the boot flag is mostly obsolete. It certainly wouldn't hurt though. | 19:23 |
| ifireball | killerboy_: http://packages.ubuntu.com | 19:23 |
| killerboy_ | ifireball: some graphical program which do the same as apt-file | 19:23 |
| killerboy_ | ifireball: not helpfull | 19:23 |
| Ballena | Flannel: ok thanks | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | Georgij: for a stable version yes: Cvs is accesible by anyone though | 19:24 |
| laeg | anirudh1: i did that and removed wine from the open with tab of properties but i'm still not able to switch workspaces in game | 19:24 |
| Jessica601 | err... ummm.... in command line sftp, how can you d/l a whole directory tree? | 19:24 |
| ifireball | killerboy_: why not? faster then having to generate the database in your own | 19:24 |
| guax | hello, im looking for the configurations of X Server, but the xorg.conf file is incomplete its have just the identifier i dont know how ubuntu handles the rest of configuration but im looking for the informations of Device Section | 19:24 |
| anirudh1 | laeg, but that was;nt what you asked before ! | 19:24 |
| killerboy_ | hmm | 19:24 |
| Georgij | What is the diffrence betwen the real version and the cvs? | 19:24 |
| killerboy_ | it doesnt generate anything | 19:24 |
| laeg | anirudh1: lol | 19:24 |
| * laeg runs | 19:24 | |
| killerboy_ | ifireball: it only downloads some files once | 19:24 |
| laeg | anirudh1: i wanted to make sure the reason i couldn't switch workspaces isn't because it's running with wine | 19:25 |
| satish | erUSUL: While upgrading, it was not able to upgrade one package - slapd. lsb_release -a is showing the release as 8.04 | 19:25 |
| killerboy_ | and actualizes it like | 19:25 |
| laeg | *wasn't | 19:25 |
| Flannel | Georgij: "real" version is the one they've released to the public, cvs is less stable, because its got experimental code in it, etc. | 19:25 |
| killerboy_ | *refreshes | 19:25 |
| anirudh1 | Georgij, cvs is bleeding edge...may not compile correctly | 19:25 |
| erUSUL | satish: what's the error? pastebin | 19:25 |
| erUSUL | !pastebin | satish | 19:25 |
| ubottu | satish: 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) | 19:25 |
| killerboy_ | ifireball: i don't want to use net for such simple thing | 19:25 |
| killerboy_ | ifireball: i'm on laptop | 19:25 |
| Georgij | How to get real version without paying? | 19:26 |
| erUSUL | Georgij: no warez or piracy in here | 19:26 |
| laeg | !piracy | Georgij | 19:26 |

| Nostahl | hi everyone. i just installed ubuntu and chose a username/password that i've ALWAYS used doing the first login and its tellin me its the wrong account .... is there a way i can setup the account without reinstalling the OS | 19:26 |

| Georgij | well I just bought 7 cds to burn vista to it so i can play games but stupid linux doesn't recognize the cds of course | 19:26 |
| killerboy_ | ifireball: fine, thanks, so i was right there is no such program, gee, thanks | 19:27 |
| Georgij | I hate ubottu its a spammer bann it | 19:27 |
| PPKuma | hi, why the gmail hotkeys don't work? is it a common problem in ubuntu? | 19:27 |

| Darkchef | ? | 19:27 |

| Flare183 | ... | 19:27 |
| Flannel | Nostahl: double check that you've typed it in properly (capslock, etc), if that doesn't work, reboot, right after POST, you'll see a "Press escape to go to the grub menu", do that, then choose the recovery console. From there, you can reset the password: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 19:28 |
| jrib | erUSUL, Nostahl: why not just reset the password and verify the first user's name is correct? | 19:28 |
| Nostahl | k goin into recoverymode now | 19:28 |
| Flannel | Nostahl: You can verify the username with 'cat /etc/passwd' | 19:28 |
| jrib | Nostahl: or just do: ls /home | 19:29 |
| MrPink | Ok I have a problem with the ZSNES Emulator, I don't have any sound, I tried starting it with sudo, but it doesn't work... any idea? | 19:29 |
| Flannel | Oh, hmm, yeah that'd be much more friendly. | 19:29 |
| Nostahl | k drop to root shell prompt? | 19:29 |
| Flannel | Nostahl: yeah | 19:29 |
| eracc | Flare183, that last URL contained this: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html which has an excellent section on SATA RAID controllers. Very helpful. Thanks. | 19:29 |
| Flare183 | eracc: You are very welcome | 19:30 |
| Nostahl | ok now do i reset password | 19:30 |
| Darkchef | MrPink : in settings try and change the audio driver | 19:30 |
| Flannel | Nostahl: first check to see the username, ls /home | 19:30 |
| Nostahl | aye its the username i thought it was | 19:30 |
| Flannel | Nostahl: alright, then passwd [user] | 19:31 |
| erUSUL | jrib: Nostahl yes you can take a look at the output of "cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1,3 -d: | grep 1000" to see what's the username you provided during installation | 19:31 |
| * Lord_Devi jabs osxdude with a sharp pointy stick | 19:31 | |

| Darkchef | MrPink - what is it set to now? | 19:32 |
| Nostahl | k lets see if it set up right now | 19:32 |
| Flannel | erUSUL: Yeah, I had him cating passwd too, then jrib suggested /home | 19:32 |
| Nostahl | there we go | 19:32 |
| Nostahl | i must have misspelt my password accidentaly | 19:32 |

| MrPink | Darkchef: HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) is what it says behind Device: | 19:32 |
| MrPink | Darkchef: Is that what you mean? | 19:32 |
| osxdude | ow, Lord_Devi | 19:33 |
| robg_ | Adys: your computer will probably attempt to boot from the primary harddisk. | 19:33 |
| osxdude | wth? | 19:33 |

| osxdude | my laptop runs ubuntu. | 19:33 |
| rym | I just updated my ubuntu version to 8.04, now grub shows me two ubuntu installs, both 8.04 | 19:33 |
| rym | one with the new kernel, one with the old one | 19:34 |
| Adys | robg_, im forcing boot on external hd, if i let it run on regular hd it runs fine (im on it atm) | 19:34 |
| rym | i can edit the grub loader, thats not a problem. But is it normal for ubuntu to do this ? | 19:34 |
| Darkchef | MrPink - no not really, that seems ok, your running under wine right ? | 19:34 |
| osxdude | That's ok rym, that's so you can downgrade the kernel incase of problems. | 19:34 |
| robg_ | rym: you can use gparted to delete one Ubuntu | 19:34 |
| rym | Ahh okay | 19:34 |
| osxdude | rym, it will always boot into the newest kernel. | 19:34 |
| MrPink | Darkchef: No I am not.. there is a Linux version | 19:34 |
| rym | allright | 19:34 |
| rym | Allrighty | 19:34 |

| PPKuma | hi, why the gmail hotkeys don't work? is it a common problem in ubuntu? | 19:35 |
| Adys | robg_, File not found in grub is not hardware specific oO | 19:35 |

| n3uromanc3r | lovezinhu: you don't purchase ubuntu! ?! | 20:51 |
| robg_ | lovezinhu: either ubuntu-8.04-dekstop-i386.iso or ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso | 20:51 |

| evilbug | ue- flash works fine for me. | 20:52 |
| dextrous_ | n3uromanc3r: Ahh ok thanks for the help though. | 20:52 |

| ue | evilbug, the 'sound' in flash, you have 8.0.4 ? | 20:53 |
| n3uromanc3r | dextrous_: seriosult though if you find a method of fixing it let me know! | 20:53 |
| cu3edwe1 | anyone know how to enable dynamic shortcuts? | 20:53 |
| evilbug | potty- but you might need to use the alternative cd instead of the live cd for install (not sure). | 20:53 |
| dextrous_ | n3uromanc3r: Thats true, now to research a solution. :P | 20:53 |
| evilbug | ue- yes.all works fine. | 20:53 |
| robg_ | lovezinhu: you get it for free ! | 20:53 |
| evilbug | can i fix my ubuntu partition using a live cd? | 20:54 |
| sandrinux | I got a problem after the upgrade to 8.04. During the boot there is a long wait (15-20 seconds) on "waiting for the root file system" . I read somewhere that maybe a problem of GRUB with UUID, and that if I change this whith the good old /dev/sdax everything I will solve. But before to touch the menu.lst I'd like to have your opinion... | 20:54 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: yes probably | 20:54 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- any clue how? | 20:54 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: depends what you did ;) | 20:54 |
| takalius | When I login to Ubuntu (8.04), it shows the wallpaper and cursor, but nothing else will load | 20:54 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: what have you done to it? | 20:54 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- i cut off some free space from it with a gparted live cd and now it won't boot. | 20:55 |
| potty | k | 20:55 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: how far does it get? | 20:55 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- the actual partition won't show up. | 20:55 |
| DannyV | damn, i'm trying to install ubuntu from the mini iso, but it's justhaving on the wget of the catalogue during the intaller :'( | 20:55 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: even in gparted on livecd? | 20:56 |
| takalius | When I login to Ubuntu (8.04), it shows the wallpaper and cursor, but nothing else will load, how do I fix it | 20:56 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- in gparted it shows up fine,just not at boot (i'm on a macbook pro). | 20:56 |
| robg_ | DanV: try the standard method | 20:56 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- i was wondering if there's a way to navigate into it and run some commands :) | 20:56 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: have you messed up your grub? | 20:56 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: what happens at boottime? | 20:57 |
| robg_ | takalius: probably damaged install, may need re-install. | 20:57 |
| DannyV | robg_, i dont really have the bandwidth to download the entire iso | 20:57 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- i really have no clue what the problem is.at boot,rEFIt used to show me both partitions.now it only shows my mac partition. | 20:57 |
| DannyV | and i only want gcc and some asm stuff and a command line | 20:57 |
| DannyV | infact | 20:57 |
| DannyV | bugger this | 20:57 |
| DannyV | i'll bloody use a linux machine at work | 20:57 |
| DannyV | i have a spare one somewhere | 20:57 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: you have messed up your grub. may need to fix that | 20:57 |

| sandrinux | Sorry for my english :-\ I got a problem after the upgrade to 8.04. During the boot there is a long wait (15-20 seconds) on "waiting for the root file system" . I read somewhere that maybe a problem of GRUB with UUID, and that if I change this whith the good old /dev/sdax , I will solve. But before to touch the menu.lst I'd like to have your opinion... | 20:58 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: backup everything before going any further! is my humble advise | 20:58 |
| Flannel | sandrinux: run blkid and check to make sure its the same UUID | 20:59 |
| robg_ | takalius: if you cannot fix the problem then you will have to re-install. 2 hours work. | 20:59 |
| DIL_ | 1 | 20:59 |
| n3uromanc3r | takalius: please don't repeat the question quite so often we can see it ;) | 20:59 |
| takalius | n3uromanc3r, Sorry | 21:00 |
| n3uromanc3r | takalius: you may not need to reinstall to be honest | 21:00 |

| jkirby | anybody with any xen/ubuntu experience? would be great if you could share some help. ive got a fresh install of ubuntu and did a "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server" - setup networking and everything looks good so far. I've used a working centos5.1 image (as ive used it on other systems that I did not setup though) and when attempting a boot, I get the following errors. I've included as much information as possible: http://pastebin.com | 21:00 |
| Flannel | jkirby: wrong link | 21:01 |
| m_ad | I have a problem with my Appearance Preferences (System->Preferences->Appearance), in the themes tab. I can't preview the themes, as they are greyed out and a big ? through them. I've removed my ~/.themes folder, and reinstalled ubuntu-desktop. Nothing is working. | 21:01 |
| Flannel | jkirby: or, it got cutoff at pastebin.com, and just looks ironic. | 21:01 |
| n3uromanc3r | takalius: Read your log files /var/log/gdm/:0.log and ~/.xsession-errors . | 21:01 |
| Jadd | m_ad: what happens when you click on them? | 21:01 |
| jkirby | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m76e67adb working fine for me? | 21:01 |
| m_ad | Jadd, they chave, and I see names below the previews | 21:02 |
| Flannel | jkirby: You reached the line limit humorously at http://pastebin.com | 21:02 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- thanks | 21:02 |
| Nitricacid | Good ftp server that runs nicely on heron, preferably with a GUI interface? | 21:02 |
| m_ad | Jadd, and if I install a new theme, it just goes to the "custom" theme and doesn't add a new one | 21:02 |
| n3uromanc3r | takalius: you should be able to load a new session at login prompt | 21:02 |
| jkirby | Flannel: oh haha.. well there you go, thats the proper one :) | 21:02 |
| n3uromanc3r | takalius: have you tried that? | 21:02 |
| Jadd | m_ad: chave? | 21:02 |
| m_ad | lol sorry, change | 21:03 |
| Flannel | Nitricacid: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html | 21:03 |
| m_ad | Jadd, if I click one of the themes it changes the appearance accordingly | 21:03 |
| n3uromanc3r | takalius: you should be able to access recovery or press ctrl+alt+f2 to get a recovery console up | 21:03 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- i re-installed it and now it tells me No bootable device :( | 21:04 |
| * n3uromanc3r is fending off wintermute | 21:04 | |
| hyperhacker | does anyone know why I might have an instance of 'dd' running in the background taking 100% CPU and I can't eject an SD card because "an application is preventing it"? | 21:04 |
| Flannel | n3uromanc3r: ctrl-alt-f2 isn't recovery console, just a regular tty. recovery console is accessed through GRUB menu | 21:04 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: did you backup like i said? | 21:04 |
| ethana2 | ETA for FF3rc1 ? | 21:04 |
| Jadd | hmm, so the preview issue is fixed if you click on a theme, does it stay fixed after you exit and reload? | 21:04 |
| garrett__ | are there any command-line apps to write to syslog? i.e: i want to redirect stderr to syslog on a program i'm writing which gets invoked by qmail and subsequently has nothing to catch errors with | 21:04 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: cheers, forgot name anyhow | 21:04 |
| n3uromanc3r | ;) | 21:04 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- luckily nothing to back up.i just want to play around with linux. | 21:05 |
| Nitricacid | Flannel: how do i config it? | 21:05 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug even on mac partition? | 21:05 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: what does tty stand for? | 21:05 |
| Flannel | Nitricacid: through the config file. That page gives some broader options | 21:05 |
| evilbug | n3uromanc3r- that one is working fine. | 21:05 |
| martian67 | n3uromanc3r: teletype | 21:05 |
| m_ad | Jadd, nono, the preview doesn't fix. regardless of what I do (change the theme, install a new theme) there is no preview. if I click a new theme, the appearance changes but that's all. also, if I install a new theme it just changes to "custom," and doesn't add a new theme | 21:05 |
| Flannel | n3uromanc3r: TeleTYpe | 21:05 |
| n3uromanc3r | cheers guys | 21:05 |
| Jadd | Is there a ubuntu developers channel? | 21:06 |
| ethana2 | Jadd: ye | 21:06 |
| Nitricacid | Flannel: so theres no gui? | 21:06 |
| Nitricacid | i like gui. | 21:06 |
| n3uromanc3r | evilbug: you may need to configure your grub as it doesn't just work from the off ;) | 21:06 |
| ethana2 | Jadd: #ubuntu-devel I think | 21:06 |
| Jadd | m_ad, my guess is that permissions have been messed up in /usr/share/themes | 21:06 |
| Flannel | Nitricacid: What sort of stuff do you need to configure through the GUI? | 21:07 |
| Jadd | thanks ethana2 | 21:07 |
| m_ad | Jadd, a little more info, when I type "gnome-appearance-properties" in terminal, i get the error: gnome-appearance-properties: symbol lookup error: gnome-appearance-properties: undefined symbol: meta_preview_get_clip_region | 21:07 |

| marathe25 | My USB keyboard periodically stops working after a random amount of time. Also, my USB wifi dongle cuts out in the same way. Any idea what's causing the problem? | 21:09 |
| elmalafacha | hi i could finaly make that ubuntu detect my wireless card rtl8185 in this page http://www.willdaniels.co.uk/articles/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy, but it doesnt get conected, can anyone helpme? | 21:10 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: well there are multiple methods so all vary but some are for dapper, feisty gutsy and seem to update parts of the system so old versions become obsolete -I assume that with hardy the reason they don't work is the system has changed significantly again | 21:10 |
| === insomnia_ is now known as anabolix | ||
| m_ad | Jadd, every folder in /usr/share/themes has permissions "drwxr-xr-x", is this correct? | 21:10 |
| marathe25 | The weird thing is that my USB mouse is on the same USB port (Apple), but it continues to work. | 21:11 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: have you achieved this on hardy? | 21:11 |
| MrObvious | When will Firefox 3 RC1 be on the repos? | 21:11 |

| neoser10 | any knows if Hardy Heron in a moment can have the apache, php4 and my sql5 downloads available? | 21:11 |
| Flannel | n3uromanc3r: No, but the installation methods haven't changed too much. Especially the stuff that deals with booting | 21:11 |
| ethana2 | MrObvious: no answer yet.. | 21:11 |
| Flannel | neoser10: No. | 21:12 |
| MrObvious | ethana2: lol ok | 21:12 |
| Jadd | m_ad, yeah that's correct, that's what I've got on my system | 21:12 |
| m_ad | hm | 21:12 |
| robg_ | neoser10: look at //releases.ubuntu.com | 21:12 |
| m_ad | Jadd, this sucks, no fix.. | 21:12 |
| Flannel | neoser10: apache2, php5. Mysql5 is available though. | 21:12 |
| m_ad | :x | 21:12 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: well I'm drowning in a sea of my own tears over here | 21:12 |
| m_ad | metacity --replace doesn't fix it either | 21:13 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: second day trying to get it to run | 21:13 |
| neoser10 | i can download the deb packages and install manually?, i need have three webservers in my machine (this is a production machine) | 21:13 |
| Flannel | neoser10: Do you need apache1 and php5? | 21:13 |
| n3uromanc3r | Flannel: I can get it to initiate but then I get a tftp timeout error | 21:13 |
| Flannel | neoser10: er, php4 | 21:13 |
| Jadd | m_ad, have fun trying to file the bug, I can't find the gnome-appearance-properties project, so I guess you just report it to Ubuntu | 21:13 |
| robg_ | neoser10: //releases.ubuntu.com has production quality stuff | 21:13 |
| Jadd | m_ad: life is life, at least you can change your themes | 21:13 |
| m_ad | Jadd, true :) | 21:13 |
| m_ad | Jadd, just an annoying bug, that's all | 21:14 |

| Luig1 | Hi all! I have a bit of a problem... you see, since Christmas Eve (24 Dec 2007) I haven't been able to boot Ubuntu off my hard disk; it couldn't find the kernel. So I went in through liveCD, and apparently Ubuntu deleted its own /boot directory during a kernel update. So now I get error 15 (kernel not found) every time I let BIOS do what it wants. I'm planning to install ubuntu on a 20GB partition, then slowly pull my backups off of the l | 21:21 |
| insomninja | I installed the realtime kernel, but it seems to have killed my xorg.conf | 21:21 |
| marathe25 | Someone please help me out... my USB ports keep going dead, I have to reload the ehci_hcd module or unplug and replug my devices in order to get them to work. | 21:21 |
| marathe25 | It's getting very old. | 21:21 |
| robg_ | Luig1: sounds complex. Why not a clean re-install ? | 21:21 |
| MrObvious | Luig1: Just copy the data to a spare hard drive then format it and get the data back on slowly. | 21:22 |
| cypha | can someone tell me why my screen resolution is all messed up after i close my laptop screen??? | 21:22 |
| Luig1 | In case you were wondering, I haven't gone to fix it 'til now because I haven't had time. robg_: Well, all my backups, along with my Home directory, were on the same partition, so a clean install will kill all of my files, documents, etc. | 21:22 |
| marathe25 | Anybody? | 21:23 |
| Luig1 | I've been considering dragging all 40GB of my backups to another computer, then doing a clean install. | 21:23 |
| robg_ | Luig1: copy your files to CD before you do a clean re-install. | 21:23 |
| Kalox | just build a backup file server from a old junker | 21:23 |
| chaqui | thats alot of cd's, wouldnt a external hard drive be easiest? | 21:23 |
| Luig1 | robg_: my home directory alone was 30GB (I'm a packrat) I would need 50 cds. | 21:24 |
| robg_ | I buy 50 CDs for EUR 18. | 21:24 |
| Flannel | Luig1: You could move your homedir to a separate partition, then reinstall around it. | 21:24 |
| Kalox | do you have a spare HDD | 21:24 |
| chaqui | once you use a CD you can't reuse it, an external will be useful forever | 21:24 |
| Luig1 | Flannel: Excellent idea! I'll look into that! | 21:24 |
| Flannel | Luig1: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ | 21:25 |
| Luig1 | Kalox: no. How much do those go for? | 21:25 |
| DIL_ | 500gtb $99 | 21:25 |
| Kalox | $60 should get you at least a 40 GB HHD | 21:25 |
| DIL_ | gb | 21:25 |
| stopgo | Hi, I just reinstalled ubuntu. I backed up my home directory, formatted my partition, reinstalled the distro, and overwrote the installed home directory with the one I had backed up. Sound was working before I copied over my new home directory, but after I overwrote the old one, sound had stopped working. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what user settings I could have that may have killed sound? | 21:25 |
| Kalox | 1TB goes for 100 here | 21:25 |
| MrObvious | ethana2: I got an answer in #ubuntu-devel. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797212&highlight=firefox+release+candidate&page=7 | 21:26 |
| Luig1 | Do you mean a USB external drive, or an HDD I would need to stick in the box myself? | 21:26 |
| stopgo | (sound hadn't been working under my previous install either) | 21:27 |
| neoser10 | Luig1, i think the solution is: 1. Get another Hard disk (10 Gb is a good option) 2. in these disk install ubuntu (the same version erased...)3. when finish, put the original disk as slave disk, mount your old root device (boot if you make a /boot partition) copy the /boot directory to your old installation, copy the modules directory from your new instalation to /lib/ and pray if you want | 21:27 |
| chaqui | my friend baught a external HD for a simular problem back in his windows days, now he keeps all his music on it its stull useful even though it was purchased like 5 years ago | 21:27 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: Do you by chance have an ".asoundrc" file in that home directory? | 21:27 |
| DIL_ | stopgo: something similar happened to me i had mobo audio and pci sound card did not get any sound from mobo after intstall but pci sound card was workig | 21:27 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: nope | 21:27 |
| stopgo | DIL_ did you manage to solve it? | 21:28 |
| Kalox | you could go either route idleally though an external is best for back ups, just plug it in and go rather then popping your case open and switching drives each time | 21:28 |
| Luig1 | neoser10: I considered something similar to that, but I was experiencing some bugs before (sleeping didn't work properly, for example). So now I think I'll just start anew., | 21:28 |
| Demonho-br | hello, my amsn is not working in ubuntu 8.04, when i try to rec sound, i cant because that says error writting on /dev/what i choose.... and my usb webcam is not working as mic. but it works in skype. its like the amsn is working in OSS not alsa, not sure.. someone here got the problem ?? | 21:29 |
| DIL_ | stopgo: pci card was working all along. i was concentrating on the front panel jacks that were connected to the mobo | 21:29 |
| neoser10 | this is only for backup your data, and later you can erase your old linux and re-install if you want | 21:30 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: Be sure you're still using "ALSA" as your sound driver--go the System > Prefs/Admin (don't remember which) > Sound | 21:30 |
| Kalox | we have a electronics recycling program so i just go to the deot and they let me pick apart the old computers for parts i have not bought a part in awhile | 21:30 |
| Luig1 | Kalox: Does a USB external HDD work just like a USB flash drive, as a USB Mass Storage Device Class device? | 21:30 |
| marshall | does anybody have an existing XP partition running in ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| chaqui | luig1 yes, some of the more expensive ones will have one button back up features. | 21:31 |
| Kalox | yes its like a memory stick just bigger, most have a ac power adapter you will need to plug in, then it connects right to usb | 21:31 |
| Kalox | you can even boot os's off them if you want | 21:31 |
| cypha | can someone tell me why my resolution and refresh rate mess up when i close my laptop lid for a while?? | 21:31 |
| jenda | how do I restart ALSA? Every now and then, Amarok stops playing, and after that, no sounds can be heard at all. | 21:32 |
| neoser10 | cypha you know which is you video card? | 21:32 |
| cypha | nvidia | 21:32 |
| robg_ | Kalox: I am hearing a lot of stories of people who cannot boot from secondary harddrives and USB drives. | 21:32 |
| neoser10 | which distro are you using? | 21:32 |
| Kalox | i can with no problems just vista wont do it which is no surprise | 21:33 |
| Luig1 | Ok, thanks for you help everyone! Now I think my plan is to buy... perhaps an 80gb USB external HDD, then push all of the old stuff I might miss onto it, then clean reisntall. | 21:33 |
| cypha | neoser10, i'm on Hardy | 21:33 |
| takalius | n3uromanc3r, I know how to do the recovery console. I'm in it right now | 21:33 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: Hmm, I have a number of choices, but none of them seem to work. The two most promising seem to be HDA Intel (ALSA mixer) and Playback: ALSA PCM on front:0 (STAC92xx Analog) | 21:34 |
| takalius | And sorry I was doing laundry real quick | 21:34 |
| robg_ | Luig1: An get the latest operating system from //releases.ubuntu.com | 21:34 |
| Luig1 | After I'm done pulling everything off of it, I can use it for backups every month or something so this doesn't happen again. | 21:34 |
| chaqui | luig1 thats what i would do, like i said its not only a solution for now but when you get done, you'll have a external hard drive which is pretty sweet | 21:34 |
| Linux_Wombat | just installed 8.04 and am getting everything setup but ubuntu doesnt seem to know my sound card exists, its just a simple Sound Blaster 16, how do I get it to work? | 21:34 |
| takalius | n3uromanc3r, but what do I do when I'm in the recovery console? | 21:34 |
| Luig1 | robg_: yeah, it was on 7.10, I'm in a freshly burned 8.04 right now., | 21:35 |
| dot | can I convert mp3 files fo m4r files? | 21:35 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: I think you want the ALSA Mixer option because that will hopefully use "dmix", ALSA's way of allowing many apps to use the sound at one time. | 21:35 |
| neoser10 | cypha: first get your root account (password), from a linux console get into /etc/X11 directory | 21:35 |
| Loligaga | how do i list running processes | 21:35 |
| Loligaga | how do i list running processes in terminal | 21:35 |
| Adys | Loligaga, ps -e | 21:35 |
| robg_ | Luig1: consider single boot ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso in LVM encrypted mode. | 21:35 |
| takalius | Loligaga, ps -A | 21:35 |
| Adys | or that | 21:36 |
| takalius | Hi jagggy | 21:36 |
| Diabolika | :p | 21:36 |
| jagggy | ... hi takalius i guess | 21:36 |
| cypha | neoser10, i'm in there | 21:36 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: OK, that was the default setting. It looks like the card is detected and using the right driver and such, it's just that no sound comes out :( | 21:36 |
| takalius | When I login to Ubuntu (8.04), it shows the wallpaper and cursor, but nothing else will load, how do I fix it? | 21:36 |
| takalius | I'm using Gnome | 21:36 |
| Luig1 | robg_: say what? | 21:36 |
| Loligaga | how do i list kill a proccess using terminal | 21:37 |
| Adys | Loligaga, killall procname | 21:37 |
| Luig1 | loligaga: use tops to find its pid, then [ kill <pid>]... I think... | 21:37 |
| stopgo | Loligaga: find the process number via ps | 21:37 |
| stopgo | and then kill <pid> | 21:37 |
| robg_ | Luig1: Alternate has drive encryption option | 21:37 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: Have you checked your sound levels? Be sure to set PCM volume <= 74% and then adjust master volume to see if you get anything. Make they aren't muted. | 21:37 |
| cypha | neoser10, i'm in that directory via the terminal | 21:38 |
| takalius | Loligaga, ps -A, kill <process ID> | 21:38 |

| dot | why? | 21:38 |
| Luig1 | Hello Exershio | 21:38 |
| dell | How do i update 6.06 to 8.04 | 21:38 |
| robg_ | Luig1: encryption is good insurance against viruses, hackers and snoopers. | 21:38 |
| takalius | dell, download the 8.04 ISO, burn it, and install | 21:39 |
| dell | i tryed running gksu update-manager and it didnt work | 21:39 |
| Adys | is anyone around familiar to grub and installations on external drives? I need some help troubleshooting a bad install | 21:39 |
| Luig1 | rong_: Hmmm... Is it transparent to me? I mean, I know what I'm doing most of the time (I hope), but I'm no guru. | 21:39 |
| Exershio | dell, 6.06 is old. it'd probably be best for a fresh install of 8.04 | 21:39 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: nope, they're not muted | 21:39 |
| stopgo | Looking in alsamixer from the terminal | 21:39 |
| neoser10 | cypha, first copy this direction in a text editor: backup these data, in these prompt execute: cd /etc/init.d, when you get this directoty execute ./gdm stop (warn beware this stop the gnome display manager and X stop too) posteriorly execute Xorg -configure this leave in /root directory a file named xorg.conf.new copy these file to /etc/X11 as xorg.conf (remember is lowcase sensitive) and reboot your machine | 21:40 |
| takalius | When I login to Gnome on Ubuntu 8.04, I can only see my cursor and wallpaper | 21:40 |
| takalius | How do I fix it? | 21:40 |
| cypha | whoa, neoser10, can i msg you? | 21:40 |
| robg_ | takalius: I believe the install is flawed and needs to be repeated. | 21:41 |
| neoser10 | what? | 21:41 |
| ethana2 | MrObvious: thanks | 21:41 |
| takalius | robg_, I installed a few months ago, and I have been using Ubuntu | 21:41 |
| Xsploit | im having problems getting opera installed ? | 21:41 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: Well you could move all your .directories and .files out of your home directory, reboot, and Ubuntu/Gnome will go back to defaults. Then add them back one at a time to find which is causing the problems. This will prove also whether it really is a problem with something in your home directory. | 21:41 |
| Exershio | how would I go about installing FGLRX 8.40.4 (an older version) on Hardy? --buildpkg Ubuntu/8.04 doesn't work | 21:41 |
| takalius | robg_, It's only started doing that today | 21:41 |
| Xsploit | whats the command to get it from the terminal ? | 21:41 |
| Xsploit | sudo apt-get opera? | 21:41 |
| takalius | robg_ : So it isn't an install flaw.. | 21:42 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: that sounds like a good plan, I'll give that a shot | 21:42 |
| Luig1 | takalius: So you're in GNOME, but can't see the panales? Can you hit [alt+F2] and get a run promt? From there you could get xterm or something. I think the name for the default Ubuntu terminal is 'gnome-terminal' | 21:42 |
| robg_ | takalius: a re-install takes 2 hours, fixing the problem may take much more. Be pratical. | 21:42 |
| takalius | Luig1, Yes I can get to a recovery console | 21:42 |
| Luig1 | Xsploit: I doubt Opera is in the repositories. It's proprietary. | 21:43 |
| MrObvious | ethana2: You're welcome. | 21:43 |
| Luig1 | takalius: recovery console? | 21:43 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: brb | 21:43 |
| Xsploit | Luig1 no it isnt | 21:43 |
| takalius | Luig1, ctrl+alt+<num> puts me in a terminal | 21:43 |
| Luig1 | Also, takalius, I don't know if this would work or not, but have you tried [alt+F1], and running 'gnome-panel'? | 21:43 |
| neoser10 | luig1: opera is in the opera download page, to install download and execute in a terminal ./opera-9.xx or as name the file and ready | 21:44 |
| takalius | Luig1, Hmm says it isn't installed | 21:44 |
| takalius | Luig1, Maybe that's the problem? | 21:44 |
| Luig1 | neoser10: I | 21:44 |
| Xsploit | ive tried downloading it, get an error | 21:44 |
| Luig1 | neoser10: It's not for me, it's for Xsploit | 21:44 |
| marshall | is it possible to run an existing installation of windows XP in virtualbox? | 21:45 |
| takalius | Luig1-, I apt-get gnome-panels and it fixed the problem | 21:45 |
| neoser10 | thank Xploit READ THIS opera is in the opera download page, to install download and execute in a terminal ./opera-9.xx or as name the file and ready | 21:45 |
| Xsploit | i get an error saying wrong architecture 'i386' in regard to opera | 21:46 |
| theFATMAN | hey, i cant restart or shutdown my system, what gives? those options arent available in the close icon either | 21:46 |
| stopgo | steve-cal: interesting... i moved all of the .files, rebooted, and all the other settings appear to be back to default. however, sound is still gone. | 21:46 |
| wasmeAtUBC | hi | 21:46 |
| Takalius | Alright now I have a new problem | 21:47 |
| CroX | Anyone have experience with network-manager-openvpn? I'm not getting it to even connect the server, though all settings looks just fine. | 21:47 |
| Exershio | theFATMAN, that happened to me after I installed the ATI drivers. I had to kill X, then hold down my power button to shut it down. then it was fixed upon rebooting | 21:47 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: That's exactly what I was afraid of. That's why I figured we should try that... | 21:47 |
| Takalius | There is nothing on the desktop, and I cannot drag to create a selecting square | 21:47 |
| Takalius | And Places>Home says "There is no default action associated with this location" | 21:47 |
| theFATMAN | exershio, that's odd, i installed those drivers a week ago | 21:47 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: You had sound working before you copied over your home directory? | 21:47 |
| stopgo | Steve-cal: yes | 21:48 |
| Exershio | theFATMAN, ah then that's not it. what I meant was the second after I installed them. not the day after or anything | 21:48 |
| theFATMAN | any idea whats going on? | 21:48 |
| theFATMAN | i'm gonna do a hard restart to see | 21:48 |
| Exershio | how would I go about installing FGLRX 8.40.4 (an older version) on Hardy? --buildpkg Ubuntu/8.04 doesn't work. "package not supported" - is there any other method? | 21:48 |
| theFATMAN | BRB | 21:49 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: Maybe another way of getting a clue would be to create a new user, log in as them, and see if the sound is a problem. | 21:49 |
| wasmeAtUBC | I'm trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 from an iso image of xubuntu-alternative, but mounting the file as a loop device and adding the line "deb file:///media hardy main restricted" to /etc/apt/sources.list when I run apt-get update it says its "Ign file: hardy Release.gpg" etc. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? | 21:49 |

| Takalius | Luig1, unmet dependancies | 21:55 |
| [TiZ] | I know, robg_. It would be a very bad idea to resize a partition that I'm using. | 21:55 |
| Luig1 | That sucks | 21:55 |
| neoser10 | TiZ find a key named Fn and a Key with a NumLock frase and press these keys and try it | 21:55 |
| Takalius | gnome-desktop-environment, which also has unmet dependancies | 21:55 |
| Luig1 | oh boy | 21:55 |
| [TiZ] | neoser10, you think it's got NumLock on by default? | 21:55 |

| [TiZ] | robg_, I'm not stupid. I'm very adept in Windows, and finding my way in Linux without a huge deal of trouble. I know not to resize partitions currently in use. And as I kept trying to say, Wubi installs are intended to be moved to real partitions. | 21:57 |

| neoser10 | alextvm: first uninstall the other bootloader!!! | 22:02 |
| Carbonflux | Nin10dude, its the pulse audio server | 22:02 |

| Steve-cal | stopgo: Yes, I was afraid that wasn't going to get sound working. Well good luck then with the reinstall. :) | 22:02 |
| Carbonflux | no one seems to care heh | 22:02 |
| Luig1 | jagggy: have you considered that nobody knows? I'm not saying that to be mean, but there are over 1000 people in this channel; you're not the only one who needs help. | 22:03 |
| Nin10dude | Hm, well thanks for that, Carbonflux. No known way to fix it right now, then? | 22:03 |

| Luig1 | Also, jagggy, have you considered reinstalling whatever you're having trouble with? | 22:03 |
| jagggy | yes Luig1 | 22:03 |
| Carbonflux | Nin10dude, there are various work arounds you can find on the forums | 22:03 |
| jagggy | and nothing works | 22:03 |
| Flannel | jagggy: That's a bug in amsn it looks like. Syntax error or something similar. | 22:03 |

| jagggy | Flannel, apt-get | 22:04 |
| Flannel | jagggy: What version of Ubuntu? | 22:04 |
| gcarrillo | hi al | 22:04 |
| gcarrillo | l | 22:04 |
| Steve-cal | stopgo: Your welcome, and I would strongly encourage you to write down and keep track of any system changes you do. It will make troubleshooting things easier in the future. | 22:04 |
| bascule | steven_: look into xinit, ~/.xinitrc and xinint -- :1 | 22:04 |
| Carbonflux | what I want to understand is why we needed this overkill network audio server for a desktop distro heh | 22:04 |
| jagggy | Flannel, gutsy | 22:04 |
| Carbonflux | and why its so hard to remove | 22:04 |
| tico | hello how can i rewrite mbr for grub? | 22:04 |
| Carbonflux | why force this on everyone is what I don't get | 22:04 |
| tico | a friend tried to install lilo | 22:04 |
| tico | and i dont like it | 22:04 |
| linxeh | Carbonflux: you realise that other operating systems have a similar system? | 22:05 |
| gcarrillo | the functionality that searches for missing codecs seems not be working on my system | 22:05 |
| gcarrillo | can anybody suggest anything? | 22:05 |
| linxeh | Carbonflux: how else are you going to get multiple apps playing audio at the same time otherwise ? | 22:05 |
| Carbonflux | ALSA worked great it seemed like | 22:05 |
| bascule | !grub > tico | 22:05 |
| Carbonflux | this is not about that linxeh | 22:05 |
| * misterclark say halo | 22:05 | |
| tritium | Carbonflux: alsa is still used | 22:05 |
| robg_ | gcarrillo: for info on multimedia go to medibuntu.org | 22:05 |
| misterclark | hello | 22:05 |
| Carbonflux | its about supporting various ipod ish things | 22:05 |
| neoser10 | tico: first get grub package, and reinstall, if you want uninstall first lilo | 22:05 |
| linxeh | Carbonflux: oh, sorry, you mean ESD or something ? | 22:05 |
| llamma | tico: man grub-install | 22:06 |
| Carbonflux | linxeh, again, I don't need a network audio server heh | 22:06 |
| Carbonflux | its for iPods and stuff | 22:06 |
| bascule | tico: the recovering after windows bit will be the same procedure basically | 22:06 |
| gcarrillo | robg_: thanks for that, but im talking about the codec searching thing that ubuntu has | 22:06 |
| gcarrillo | it seems to not be working | 22:07 |
| Gin | hi, is it possible to remove the System menu but not the menus Applications and Places? | 22:07 |
| linxeh | Carbonflux: presumably you dont need a network gui either | 22:07 |
| Carbonflux | 245.255.x.x thing, UU something, its a network self ID thing iPod and mobile devices use | 22:07 |
| Luig1 | Are you still there, Takalius? I seem to have gotten lost in traffic. | 22:07 |
| robg_ | gcarrillo: Medibuntu has nice multimedia that cannot be included in standard distro but you can get it yourself. | 22:07 |
| Takalius | Luig1, I'm still here | 22:07 |
| Takalius | Luig1, Someone suggested to rm -rf /, I'm gonna try that and see if it works | 22:08 |
| tritium | Takalius: no | 22:08 |
| Takalius | Luig1, >_O Kidding kidding | 22:08 |
| gcarrillo | robg_: yeah i think i may have to use it | 22:08 |
| Carbonflux | linxeh, so you have no problem playing sound from more then one app at the same time in 8.04? | 22:08 |
| Luig1 | Takalius; NOOO!! | 22:08 |
| Luig1 | Oh, thank goodness | 22:08 |
| neoser10 | tico: before to reboot, execute sudo grub-install hd0 (i hope you hard disk is IDE, if is sata the hd0 change it for sda) | 22:08 |
| Carbonflux | linxeh, I mean I don't need a SERVER heh | 22:08 |
| Luig1 | I've seen people do that before. It's not funny to them ;-) | 22:08 |
| robg_ | gcarrillo: it contains all the nice stuff you need. go get it. | 22:08 |

| Carbonflux | with pulse I can stream audio to ever computer in my house | 22:09 |
| Flannel | Takalius: Please don't joke around like that here. | 22:09 |
| steven_ | what does ctrl+alt+f1` do? | 22:09 |
| Carbonflux | every* | 22:09 |
| Takalius | Flannel, Sorry | 22:09 |
| Gin | steven_, it brings you to the console | 22:09 |
| Carbonflux | I just wish it was a option heh, at least for the desktop version | 22:09 |
| linxeh | Carbonflux: no idea - I'm not running 8.04 yet, though thinking of upgrading | 22:09 |
| Gin | steven_, alt+ctrl+f7 brings you back to the GUI | 22:10 |
| Takalius | Hmm | 22:10 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: why does everything you say include "heh"? | 22:10 |
| Carbonflux | linxeh, well, I like 8.04, just issues with the audio is all | 22:10 |
| Gin | Carbonflux: same here. pulseaudio was a bad move. they should have stick with alsa :\ | 22:10 |
| friel | best place to ask for bluetooth help on 8.04 | 22:10 |
| steven_ | i want to start 2 different xterms so that I can run in one a full-screen game, and in the other my normal apps. Any idea how to do that? I've been reading the xterm man page, but no luck. | 22:10 |
| Takalius | Luig1, This really sucks. I can't install gnome because of unmet dependancies, and I can't uninstall it because it isn't installed | 22:10 |
| Carbonflux | tritium, because I understand this is a FOSS channel and I want to be nice even tho I am deeply frustrated with pulse audio and the fact that for a few weeks now I have gotten no traction on it and that the issues are being ignored and for some reason the people deciding this stuff are forcing pulse audio on us and I don't want it or like it :) | 22:11 |
| Flannel | Takalius: which unmet dependencies? | 22:11 |
| Gumby | Hi all, I am trying to start vino vnc server remotely via ssh and I am unsure where or what its binary is called. Does anyone know? | 22:12 |
| Takalius | Flannel, gnome-desktop-environment, which depends on gnome-keyring-manager | 22:12 |
| Carbonflux | Ubuntu desktop depends on it for peats sake | 22:12 |
| Carbonflux | its nuts | 22:12 |
| Takalius | Flannel, but it says gnome-keyring-manager is obsolete | 22:12 |
| recon | Does anybody know how to use (I assume it's a compressed file) a .sea file? | 22:12 |
| friel | Got a problem with my bluetooth manager, whenever i try to send a file via it, Method "CreateBluetoothSession" with signature "ssb" on interface "org.openobex.Manager" doesn't exist appears. | 22:12 |
| robg_ | Carbonflux: Pulse Audio seems to be the most popular audio app but you are free to pick another one from the Medibuntu repository. | 22:13 |
| Flannel | Takalius: have you updated your package cache recently? (sudo apt-get update)? | 22:13 |
| Carbonflux | Gin, seems like the argument is that to support iPods better and stuff it had to happen at some point | 22:13 |
| Takalius | Flannel, yes | 22:13 |
| dimedo | is it somehow possible to get the ubuntu alternative installer to setup twofish-xts-plain crypted partitions? | 22:13 |
| Carbonflux | robg_, thanks :) | 22:13 |
| Adys | recon, http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/sea | 22:13 |
| Flannel | Takalius: Alright, pastebin the error it gives you when trying to install as well as your sources.list please | 22:13 |
| johnny_ | hallo | 22:13 |
| recon | Adys: Saw that, but there's no linux tool. | 22:13 |
| Adys | recon, I doubt there's one | 22:13 |
| marshall | is there a way i can run windows apps off my windows partition (mounted under /media/disk) with wine? | 22:14 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: You can remove it (and remove ubuntu-desktop with it) without causing problems to your system | 22:14 |
| johnny_ | hi xp users | 22:14 |
| biabia | when i upgraded to Hardy, it unknowingly upgraded my firefox to 3beta5. i heard theres a newer firefox now but i dont know how to upgrade to it | 22:14 |
| Carbonflux | Flannel, what is Ubuntu-desktop ? | 22:14 |
| recon | Adys: and the tool given is commercial, and I can't afford it. | 22:14 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: Its just a metapackage | 22:14 |
| dimedo | marshall: wine /media/disk/myapp.exe | 22:14 |
| Adys | marshall, sure, just mount the partition and wine /media/disk/Program\ Files/foo.exe | 22:14 |
| Ron536 | can anyone help me connect to the net? | 22:14 |
| Ron536 | just installed ubuntu | 22:14 |
| Ron536 | cant get a wired connection | 22:14 |
| Ron536 | please | 22:14 |
| Carbonflux | Flannel, which everything else depends on right? if I remove it trashes my system right? | 22:14 |
| johnny_ | congratulqtions | 22:14 |
| Adys | Ron536, you are on a wireless connection atm? | 22:14 |
| marshall | Carbonflux, its a meta-package that links to the family of packages that makeup the ubuntu desktop | 22:15 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: no, if you remove it nothing changes. | 22:15 |
| johnny_ | ubuntu 8.04 lts | 22:15 |
| Ron536 | it is wired | 22:15 |
| redwyrm | how do I configure what my Toshiba laptop does when the lid closes? I want it to lock the screen. | 22:15 |
| marshall | Adys, dimedo, I just tried that wint iexplore.exe and it didnt work | 22:15 |
| Adys | Ron536, you are connected if you can read this. What problem are you getting? | 22:15 |
| Carbonflux | marshall, I don't understand how I can safely remove such a thing :) | 22:15 |
| tritium | redwyrm: System -> Preferences -> Power Management | 22:15 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: metapackages depend on things, not the other way around. Removing them will not change a single thing (well, except the package wont be installed) | 22:15 |
| Adys | marshall, what does it say? | 22:15 |
| Ron536 | newest version, just downloaded it | 22:15 |
| Darlok_Williams | Hey, I'm having an issue that isn't exactly Ubuntu related, but it IS preventing me from installing it. I just bought a new computer with a SATA hard drive. All my personal files are currently on an IDE drive. The new motherboard has a PIDE connection and I installed the IDE drive there. But the computer doesn't recognize the drive (not even in BIOS). Where can I go to find a solution? | 22:15 |
| friel | Got a problem with my bluetooth manager, whenever i try to send a file via it, Method "CreateBluetoothSession" with signature "ssb" on interface "org.openobex.Manager" doesn't exist appears. | 22:15 |
| johnny_ | wired is always better than wireless | 22:16 |
| Carbonflux | Flannel, could that effect how updates work etc? | 22:16 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: u-d depends on A, B, and C. When you install it, you install A B and C to meet the depends, but when you remove it, A B and C are still around. | 22:16 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: it's just a meta-package. It contains no actual files itself. It's merely a list of dependencies. | 22:16 |
| Ron536 | anyone? | 22:16 |
| Ron536 | please | 22:16 |
| Frederick | folks is there any tool in ubuntu which can edit my mounting points for me so I don't need to write fstab by hand? | 22:16 |

| redwyrm | tritium, is there a command-line way to get to the Power Management window? | 22:16 |
| dunkelheit | eu uso sistema linux huaehiauehiae | 22:16 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: No. It will be reinstalled (automatically, by update-manager) when you upgrade to Intrepid, but as for sticking with Hardy, no, nothing will change. | 22:16 |
| Carbonflux | Flannel, did you remove it? | 22:16 |
| Frederick | dunkelheit: cala a boca | 22:16 |
| marshall | Carbonflux, its not the packages itself, its just a label for all of them. if you remove one that is part of the meta-package, all the packages arent uninstalled, but since they arent all installed, it marks ubuntu-desktop as uninstalled | 22:16 |
| tritium | redwyrm: gnome-power-manager | 22:16 |
| dundel | since a couple of days, when i try to watch trailers on www.apple.com/trailers I get a get latest quicktime sign | 22:16 |

| dunkelheit | folgado vc ein | 22:17 |
| marshall | Adys, ill pastebin | 22:17 |
| Adys | Darlok_Williams, probably more luck with your motherboard's brand forums | 22:17 |
| Carbonflux | Flannel, you don't run gnome? | 22:17 |
| Ron536 | no one here wants to help me get my internet connection going? | 22:17 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: No | 22:17 |
| Darlok_Williams | Adys: Okay, thank you. | 22:17 |

| Dominion076 | i'm a noob and need some help | 22:21 |
| Flannel | Takalius: Do you know that gnome-desktop-environment is the stock gnome, and not the one you installed with? (which is ubuntu-desktop) | 22:21 |
| Carbonflux | Flannel, not until down the road when they use it as a container to trigger other updates, I can see how removing it right now might not be a problem, but down the road it will be | 22:21 |
| Ron536 | anyone want to help a noob connect to the internet? | 22:22 |

| robg_ | dennda: you must have done a faulty install. The installer is the easiest around. It does all the work. You only need to be able to fill in a form of 5 lines. | 22:22 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: if you choose to dist-upgrade to a new release, you can reinstall it at that point. | 22:22 |

| Flannel | Carbonflux: No. Like I said, only when you update to intrepid, in which case, it will be automatically reinstalled by update-manager. *no* updates will come through ubuntu-desktop in Hardy | 22:22 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: and FYI, the major pulse audio fixes are already in intrepid | 22:22 |
| Ron536 | mixed - plug in the left speaker | 22:22 |
| cntb | any non-ubunut specific sysadmin questions welcomed also at ##linuxadmin | 22:22 |

| Oak_ | I have installed ubuntu on two systems with the same network settings and my connection only works on this one... the only difference is that I used wuibi to install on this one... anyone know what may be going on? | 22:23 |
| Takalius | Flannel, installing ubuntu-desktop | 22:23 |
| Carbonflux | so what was the point of installing hardy then? | 22:23 |
| mlaird | Ron, send me another PM | 22:23 |
| Carbonflux | whats the point of the 3 year support? | 22:23 |
| dennda | robg_: Believe me when I tell you I encountered several bugs and usability issues. And yes, I will file bugreports but at the moment I am a bit annoyed, especially because I cannot boot my system now. | 22:23 |
| Carbonflux | I don't get it | 22:23 |
| Carbonflux | heh | 22:23 |
| Flannel | !enter | Carbonflux | 22:23 |
| ubottu | Carbonflux: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:23 |
| Carbonflux | thanks for the information tho :) | 22:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux Please take your discussion to #Uubntu-offtopic | 22:24 |
| robg_ | dennda: I am talking ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso from //releases.ubuntu.com | 22:24 |
| jope | anyone able to help wiith installing a wireless driver with ndiswrapper pls | 22:24 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: there's nothing wrong with new releases, even though the old one will still be supported long term | 22:24 |
| Carbonflux | Jack_Sparrow, this is big time on topic, I need help | 22:24 |
| Flannel | Takalius: It does seem that gnome-keyring-manager is unavailable. You should definately file a bug at launchpad about it, or email the package maintainer. | 22:24 |
| Carbonflux | will the pulse audio fixes make it into hardy? | 22:24 |
| dennda | robg_: Yes, me too. And guess what. I compared the md5 hash, it was correct. I checked the CD with the internal tools, it was valid. | 22:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux You are rambling and not asking a question... | 22:24 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: yes, 8.04.1 | 22:24 |
| Carbonflux | Jack_Sparrow, you know anything about the pulse audio issues that can help me then? | 22:25 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - sent | 22:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux Nope | 22:25 |
| gcarrillo | whats the command to list gstreamer plugin options? (specifically lame) | 22:25 |
| robg_ | dennda: you must be a linux nerd. You get too involved. just let the installer do the work and don't mess with it. | 22:25 |
| dennda | Now please someone tell me: What magic spell do I have to perform to make hardy accept the crypto passphrase I just set up a minute ago | 22:25 |
| dennda | robg_: I need a special setup which the automatic partitioner cannot handle. | 22:25 |
| Carbonflux | tritium, so if I just wait it out it will stablize? | 22:25 |
| jope | ive been trying to get a bcm4310 driver work with ndiswrapper, but failed. not sure what stage im at or why it wont work, anyone able to help | 22:25 |
| Dominion076 | getting playback error with music player: failed to connect stream: invalid argument after the latest update | 22:25 |
| Carbonflux | Jack_Sparrow, do you know anything about the implications of removing Ubuntu-desktop ? | 22:26 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - can u enter chat using firefox instead of irc? | 22:26 |
| SDr | dennda, woodoo chanting with a virgin sacrifice on the concellation of a prime unixtime, and a blue moon. | 22:26 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, feel free to remove ubuntu-desktop if you dont want dependent packages | 22:26 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: yes | 22:26 |
| Darlok_Williams | I have a plain IDE drive. Is it compatible with a PIDE connector? | 22:26 |
| robg_ | dennda: you cannot go around altering distro's. Either you use it as is or you don't use it. | 22:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux The meta-package... depends on what you are trying to accomplish | 22:26 |
| mlaird | I don't know what's up. I can't seem to send/receive PMs. At any rate, go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager | 22:26 |
| Carbonflux | tritium, thanks :) | 22:26 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - ok - in | 22:27 |
| Takalius | Flannel, I'll brb, gonna reboot. I installed ubuntu-desktop | 22:27 |
| mlaird | scroll down and see if network-manager and network-manager-gnome packages have a little green box next to them | 22:27 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: are you using nvidia ? | 22:27 |
| Monica_2 | help!!!!! i have a white screen after start up, what can i do? | 22:27 |
| Carbonflux | Jack_Sparrow, I am trying to see if its rational to attempt to remove pulse audio until its more stable, when I try and remove it, it also wants to remove ubuntu desktop, which does not seem like a good thing. | 22:28 |
| dennda | robg_: You don't see the point. I want to use that distro, it does what I need. Unfortunately though, I cannot use the tools the distro provides because they are just plain bugged. It worked with the RC | 22:28 |
| Monica_2 | no, AMD64 | 22:28 |
| Flannel | robg_: Stop. They're not altering anything, they're using it how it was designed. | 22:28 |
| tritium | Carbonflux: if you're anxious, you might consider trying hardy-backports | 22:28 |
| dennda | Maybe I'll just take that and upgrade | 22:28 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - green | 22:28 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, it's a bit whiny on dist-upgrade with the update-manager, but in those cases just change repos and use synaptic. it's no problem | 22:28 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: you graphic card :) | 22:28 |
| jope | anyone been able to get a bcm4310 card to work wireless | 22:28 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, just dont remove ubuntu-minimal | 22:28 |
| Carbonflux | Adys, I guess thats my problem, I don't fully understand the implecations of removing it. | 22:28 |
| Flannel | Carbonflux: #ubuntu-offtopic and we can talk all about it | 22:28 |
| backgen | hey guys can anyone recommend some good Music Software for Ubuntu Gibbon? I just want to plug my I-pod and be able to play songs on my computer | 22:28 |
| Carbonflux | its fine, I am going to try something else | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux I dont think that will accomplish what you hope it will.. Perhaps /join #Alsa to see if they can help with it | 22:29 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, it happened aftr installing a login mngr and splash screen, it is a ATI Radeon HD 2400 xt | 22:29 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - they are both gren | 22:29 |
| atlef | !metapackage | 22:29 |
| ubottu | A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 22:29 |
| Carbonflux | I really want a stable install | 22:29 |
| mlaird | ok | 22:29 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, it's a metapackage which exists just to have dependencies and make various installations easier | 22:29 |
| backgen | Kind of like I-tunes i guess | 22:29 |
| atlef | !metapackage | Carbonflux: | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Carbonflux:: please see above | 22:29 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: ok, the white screen seems, for now, to be a beryl bug.. | 22:29 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, can you help me sugar? | 22:29 |
| mlaird | system -> administration -> network tools | 22:29 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, but if you have sound problems you probably want to get pulseaudio working rather than reinstalling also etc | 22:29 |
| jope | no one able to help with a bc4310 driver and ndiswrapper for a wireless card? | 22:29 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: but when does the white screen appear ? | 22:29 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - k | 22:30 |
| Ron536 | in | 22:30 |
| Carbonflux | Adys, just playing two or more sources at once, and VLC problems. | 22:30 |
| backgen | Hey guys can anyone recommend an app similar to I-tunes so that i can just plug in my I-pod and play some songs? | 22:30 |
| Darlok_Williams | I have a plain IDE drive. Is it compatible with a PIDE connector? | 22:30 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulse | 22:30 |
| atlef | Carbonflux: do you have s/pdif | 22:30 |
| Monica_2 | cromag after i login, the splash screen shows, then nothing but a white screen | 22:30 |
| jimimaxo | hay | 22:30 |
| Carbonflux | thank you everyone that answered | 22:30 |
| Monica_2 | :.( | 22:30 |
| mlaird | in the network device drop down do you have an eth0? | 22:30 |
| Carbonflux | I have s/pdif turned off | 22:30 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3756&hilit=white see if this post helps you a bit. | 22:30 |
| atlef | Carbonflux: ok | 22:30 |
| Carbonflux | because I don't have speakers that support it | 22:31 |
| Ron536 | mlaird- yes | 22:31 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: wait.. wrong.. | 22:31 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, will u hang around for a sec, sugar? | 22:31 |
| Monica_2 | ok | 22:31 |
| atlef | Carbonflux: i just know it's a problem with pulseaudio | 22:31 |
| mlaird | when you select it do you see anything in the IP Information or is it blank? | 22:31 |
| Carbonflux | atlef, thanks :) | 22:31 |
| Sindacious | Can anyone tell me how I can check what ports are Firewalled by my PC? | 22:31 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - ip info is there , scope = link | 22:31 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, i can use the console, what can i do? | 22:31 |
| jope | anyone know anything about ndiswrapper? | 22:32 |
| Adys | jope, sure. what do you need to know? | 22:32 |
| blacking | how change the official login page of Ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| mlaird | I guess I should also ask that your ethernet cable is plugged into your computer | 22:32 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: i'm trying to figure it out, it still seems to be desktop effects issue, but not sure yet. | 22:32 |
| Carbonflux | I guess I will just have to hang in there with pulse audio and wait for it to stabilize, thanks for the explanation :) | 22:32 |
| Adys | Carbonflux, see your PMs | 22:32 |
| Ron536 | yup - from my computer into a 30 port switch | 22:32 |
| tritium | blacking: what do you mean by "login page"? | 22:32 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: did you install ATI driver at the same time ? | 22:33 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - the green lights are on on the switch | 22:33 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, thanks honey, its not easy being a gal who is into computers :) | 22:33 |
| atlef | blacking: go to system menu - admin - and login window | 22:33 |
| jope | adys, im trying to install for a bcm4310 card, i htought i had followed the instrucctions but cant get it to wwork. now i dont know what stage im at or what is going wrong | 22:33 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - i am using this laptop hardwired also from the same switch | 22:33 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: theres a womens section on ubuntu forums afaik. | 22:33 |
| mlaird | ok, and you are sure there is no problem with the switch? | 22:33 |
| Ron536 | none | 22:34 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, i installed everything about a week ago, but the login screen and splash, today | 22:34 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - voip and laptop are working fine with the switch | 22:34 |
| riban | hi, how come speaker-test gives me no sound, yet my sound works? | 22:34 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, its too catty for me in there, lol | 22:34 |
| blacking | tnx | 22:34 |
| mlaird | next to the Network device drop down there is a configure button | 22:34 |
| atlef | riban: blame pulseaudio | 22:34 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - all i have are three ports that are in use on it - laptop - voip - and ubuntu desktop | 22:34 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: ah ye i understand. Uhm. what login and splash is it ? | 22:34 |
| mlaird | click it to configure eth0 | 22:34 |
| riban | atlef, Pulseaudio? Something I'm missing? | 22:35 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - configure is greyed out | 22:35 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, i got the login from a website, gnom-look i think | 22:35 |
| Takalius | Alright, gnome is working now | 22:35 |
| atlef | riban: no, it's a "feature" of ubuntu hardy | 22:35 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: ok. sec. | 22:35 |
| Takalius | Now I just gotta fix the 1280x1028 issue | 22:35 |
| larson9999 | i haven't been this giddy since i don't know when | 22:35 |
| Takalius | (Resolution doesn't exist) and it's all fixed | 22:35 |
| Heartsbane | Anyone have any idea how I would get my volume control icon back in the system tray | 22:35 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, the splash i did myself, its just a picture | 22:35 |
| atlef | !pulseaudio | riban: | 22:35 |
| ubottu | riban:: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 22:35 |
| riban | atlef: should I stick with alsa or move to pulse? I'm not really informed on pulse | 22:35 |
| effowe | hey, how can i configure my eth0 interface to be dhcp from the command line? | 22:36 |
| mlaird | ok, do you know how to use the command line terminal? | 22:36 |
| Paradoxx | How can I compile a *.cs file at the terminal? | 22:36 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, thanks, sweetie | 22:36 |
| jope | adys, any ideas i could try? | 22:36 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - i know how to get to it - yes | 22:36 |
| Adys | jope, checking atm | 22:36 |
| jope | ok thanks | 22:36 |
| mlaird | ok, open it up and type nm-applet | 22:36 |
| mlaird | it should put an icon in your taskbar | 22:36 |
| atlef | riban: well my only problem is with s/pdif and it is driving me crazy | 22:36 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: ah ok, so mostly it would be the login stuff that could cause this issue. How do you install it ? - well.. we COULD reinstall xorg tho.. | 22:36 |
| mlaird | actually, you might now have two of the same icon on your taskbar | 22:37 |
| effowe | can anyone tell me how to configure my eth0 interface from the command line? | 22:37 |
| riban | atlef: Wanna join the club? I'm using spdif (Coax) out and trying to get 5.1 to work, I too am going crazy | 22:37 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, is there a way to revert the login manager to the default? | 22:37 |
| tritium | effowe: edit /etc/network/interfaces | 22:37 |
| Sergiu | hello | 22:37 |
| effowe | tritium: thank you | 22:37 |
| atlef | riban: welcome | 22:37 |
| pstangcjd | effowe: man ifconfig | 22:37 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: i would believe there is, trying to look for something. | 22:37 |
| Ron536 | mlaird- i now have 2 | 22:37 |
| Sergiu | it is possible to use for example /media/iso as source repository? | 22:37 |
| tritium | riban: that's not encouraging to hear. I was going to re-install my htpc with mythbuntu 8.04 | 22:37 |
| mlaird | ok, do ctrl+c in the terminal then | 22:38 |
| larson9999 | ubuntu and this lappy just aren't going to be friends | 22:38 |
| Paradoxx | How can I compile a c sharp file in the terminal? | 22:38 |
| effowe | pstangcjd: thank you as well, off to read | 22:38 |
| Heartsbane | Anyone have any idea how I would get my volume control icon back in the system tray? | 22:38 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, ok, i can only access the console at this point | 22:38 |
| Ron536 | ctrl+c | 22:38 |
| mlaird | that should leave you with one again | 22:38 |
| mlaird | then double click that icon in the taskbar | 22:38 |
| atlef | riban: so far the solution is to remove pulseaudio, which did not work for me. | 22:38 |
| riban | haha sorry tritium I've been searching for days and no replies | 22:38 |
| mlaird | single click, I mean | 22:38 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: yeah, that should bve fine, one sec. | 22:38 |
| * dennda sighs | 22:38 | |
| riban | atlef: I'm going to try removing pulseaudio hopefully it doesn't ruin sound for me :O, thanks for the tip! | 22:38 |

| atlef | riban: you are welcome, and please file a bug report at launchpad | 22:39 |
| mlaird | do you have wired? | 22:39 |
| Ron536 | mlaird-only wired for now | 22:39 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=523549 - you could try if you can get into gnome this way. | 22:39 |
| riban | atlef: You mean there already isn't a bug reported? | 22:39 |
| Ron536 | i have a wireless card on the desktop - but it is not appearing | 22:40 |
| Ron536 | that is another issue, i just want the wired one up for now | 22:40 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, ok, canu hang out for a sec hile i check? plz? | 22:40 |
| Cromag | sure | 22:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 Have you done much tweeking of gnome as far as launchers etc? | 22:40 |
| mlaird | wait, I might have gotten confused. You are trying to get wired or wireless working on the ubuntu machine? | 22:40 |
| smallfoot- | is $UID a bashism or is it a standard feature that dash does not support? | 22:40 |

| atlef | !paste | oc80z: | 22:49 |
| ubottu | oc80z:: 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) | 22:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 should be the second grub option | 22:49 |

| Monica_2 | :( | 22:52 |
| aaBlueDragon | while in xorg.conf its supposed to say configured monitor | 22:52 |
| mlaird | Ron536 - if you know which ethernet card you are using, google and make sure it works in Hardy | 22:52 |
| mlaird | Ron536 - but that would be a rare case I would think | 22:52 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - dont know which card, but i will open up the case and check it out | 22:53 |
| aaBlueDragon | dunno why it says "unknown" | 22:53 |
| aaBlueDragon | the problem is | 22:53 |

| aaBlueDragon | Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't detect my monitor and i can't use 60 refresh rate mode. can anyone help now? | 22:55 |
| corto_ | Hello. I tried to install Xbunutu on an old laptop. But when i download (FileZilla) the MD5 is always bad... Does anybody know a *secure* FTP client ? | 22:56 |
| Treeh416 | hey guys | 22:56 |
| Monica_2 | tritium? i'm.....srry, thats how us southern girls are | 22:56 |
| Cromag | aaBlueDragon: i think you should be more specifik. second monitor, gfx, drivers. | 22:56 |
| robg_ | aaBlueDragon: 50 Hz refresh rate works fine too. | 22:56 |
| tritium | Monica_2: that's fine, but unnecessary here. | 22:56 |
| aaBlueDragon | Cromag, i have only one monitor | 22:56 |
| Treeh416 | Does anyone know how to get VMWare to run XP in widescreen? | 22:56 |
| Ron536 | mlaird - done | 22:56 |
| Monica_2 | ok | 22:57 |
| aaBlueDragon | i use 50 hz while i know i can use 60 | 22:57 |
| Treeh416 | Scunizi, Hey, still here :?P | 22:57 |
| Cromag | aaBlueDragon: you do you know that you cant use 60hz then ? | 22:57 |
| Cromag | ok | 22:57 |
| Cromag | check for drivers for gfx maybe | 22:57 |
| jope | adys, any luck? | 22:57 |
| aaBlueDragon | i used envy to get the latest. which seemed to work | 22:57 |
| robg_ | aaBlueDragon: what's the difference ? | 22:57 |
| aaBlueDragon | i now use the accelerated drivers | 22:57 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, jack_sparrow said that in the recovery menu i coulld revert to the default gnome theme, but i dont see that option | 22:57 |
| aaBlueDragon | the difference is, that i cant use 60 hz mode while in xp i can | 22:58 |
| Me2resh | i am converting all the users in my company from windows to ubuntu, but how i can import their email messages from microsoft outlook to evolution ? | 22:58 |
| mlaird | Ron536 - that's all I can help you with here. It looks at least as if there is nothing basic or obvious that is wrong. You can try searching/posting on ubuntuforums.org for more help | 22:58 |
| Ron536 | thanx | 22:58 |
| Ron536 | mlaird, much appreciated | 22:58 |
| Cromag | Monica_2: he told you something else :) | 22:58 |
| jope | me2resh install thunderbird, import to thunderbird and then export | 22:58 |
| Ron536 | anyone else wanna try to help me connect to the net? | 22:58 |
| Cromag | 2405-23:51:22 < Jack_Sparrow> Monica_2 It may be a long way around the problem but sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 22:58 |
| tritium | Monica_2: he likely meant you could make a fix by booting into recovery (single user) mode | 22:58 |
| Ron536 | nothing basic seems to be the problem | 22:58 |
| robg_ | aaBlueDragon: did you get Sun Java ? | 22:58 |
| Treeh416 | Does anyone know how to get VMWare to display at a widescreen rez? | 22:58 |
| aaBlueDragon | no | 22:59 |
| Monica_2 | cromag, i am so confused | 22:59 |
| aaBlueDragon | would getting sun java help somehow? i mean, its monitor related problem | 22:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 Are you in recovery mode? | 22:59 |
| Monica_2 | jack_sparrow, yes i am | 22:59 |
| Carbonflux | aaBlueDragon, you can also try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org can work for me in terms of generating a proper monitor config, but after then never use the gui settings, really the gui stuff is reporting the wrong values and the best way is to just set them by hand in the xorg.conf, in theory searching the net you might even be able to find a mode line specific to your monitor | 22:59 |
| Monica_2 | it gives me 4 options | 22:59 |
| Me2resh | jope: thanks | 22:59 |
| robg_ | aaBlueDragon: go to medibuntu repository and follow instructions there. Delete OpenJDK and install Sun Java and all the other nice stuff. | 22:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 try this you should not need the sudo though sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 23:00 |
| aaBlueDragon | kk got that | 23:00 |
| Monica_2 | jack_sparrow, ok, brb | 23:00 |
| jope | me2resh ok theres a link somewhere on ubuntu pages i saw it today, but cant find it at moment | 23:00 |
| eisenhower | can someone explain to the the differnce between signing and encrypting? | 23:00 |
| aaBlueDragon | thank you very much il try that | 23:00 |
| jc___ | how do remove a package I installed using the --force-architecture option? | 23:01 |
| jope | adys, any ideas as to what i could try? | 23:01 |

| jc___ | Adys: what are PM's? | 23:02 |

| oc80z | so what you have to do is remove the screen :D | 23:03 |
| oc80z | basically hit control alt F1 | 23:04 |
| oc80z | or alt-f1 i dont know | 23:04 |
| tritium | Monica_2: revert back to a non-custom screen until you can fix the issue | 23:04 |
| corto_ | Windows XP RULZ! | 23:04 |
| oc80z | might be f2 or f3 | 23:04 |
| Monica_2 | oc80z, ok, i'm in console | 23:04 |
| SeaPhor | Xima1, 1 sec, looking for you | 23:04 |
| SliMM | is there a way to make ubuntu (server) to start with a tty screen? | 23:04 |
| oc80z | and delete that .png or .jpg u used | 23:04 |
| jc___ | Adys: SeaPhor I have nothing in my private messages other then the one SeaPhor just sent me telling what PM's are | 23:04 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, i'm trying, i dont know how | 23:04 |
| oc80z | Slidey, it should automatically use the console tty | 23:04 |
| Xima1 | thank you... I justneed help SeaPhor with changing it's printing from 1 page to sideways page... lol | 23:04 |
| tritium | Monica_2: how did you enable the custom one? | 23:05 |
| SliMM | oc80z: was that meant to me? | 23:05 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, through he login window in preferences | 23:05 |
| SeaPhor | jc___, this is not a PM, this is just directed toward you :-) | 23:05 |
| Piojoo | corto_: when you don't have to pay for it, and when u don't mind having shit as an OS, yes, it rulz :) | 23:05 |
| Monica_2 | i'm srry, admin | 23:05 |
| Flannel | eisenhower: With signing, you're just providing a way to verify the file came from you (but anyone can read it), with encryption, you're making it so only a few (well, one) person can view the unencrypted file | 23:05 |
| === xzxbcv is now known as DaZ | ||
| corto_ | Just a little provocation... Of course i agree. | 23:06 |
| tritium | Monica_2: configuration files are /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom | 23:06 |
| ChaosTheory_ | how do I bypass the whole GUI login screen? | 23:06 |
| Monica_2 | how do i fix the xserver? | 23:06 |
| eisenhower | Flannel: aite, how come I can't even read it? | 23:06 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: What would you like to do instead? | 23:06 |
| Flannel | eisenhower: Read what? | 23:06 |
| SliMM | ChaosTheory_: ctrl+alt+f1? | 23:06 |
| jc___ | SeaPhor: ok so how do I check my PM? | 23:06 |
| eisenhower | Flannel: The file | 23:06 |
| tritium | Monica_2: the server is fine. Sounds like you installed a broken gdm config. | 23:06 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: Yes. | 23:06 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: Will that allow me to do it? | 23:07 |
| johnfg | hi folks | 23:07 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: you'd like to do "yes" instead? | 23:07 |
| Coder365_ | I'm having a sound problem with 7.10 | 23:07 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: Sorry, I mean tty. | 23:07 |
| Flannel | eisenhower: What have you done? | 23:07 |
| Coder365_ | it stopped working, peroid. | 23:07 |
| corto_ | I'm looking for a FTP client that manage the MD5 sum... I always download bad iso for Xbunut | 23:07 |
| Treeh416 | Does anyone know how to run VMware in widescreen?? | 23:07 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: I use ratpoison, so would "ratpoison" on tty make it work? | 23:07 |
| johnfg | Will ubuntu server give me, besides the server programs I need, pretty much the same desktop as ubuntu desktop? | 23:07 |
| eisenhower | Flannel: I've just right clicked and clicked sign. then i can never read it afterwards | 23:07 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: You can, ctrl-alt-f1(or any f through six) will get you to a tty login. But, you'll still have GDM running, if you want to stop it, you cn do that too. | 23:07 |
| SeaPhor | Xima1, ok, he's not on atm, there is a person here that actually knows all about all the open office stuff, and i mean REALLY knows, but he's not on at the moment, which is odd cause he's always on,, I'll try whats the issue? | 23:07 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: Okay, but when I turn on the computer. | 23:08 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: Under "sessions" in GDM, does ratpoison come up? | 23:08 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: So that I don't have anything running at all. | 23:08 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: Yes. | 23:08 |
| SeaPhor | jc___, what are you using for chat? | 23:08 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, i know u are probably busy, but could you please hlp me with this? i am using a friends laptop for IRC, and i have a term paper due on monday | 23:08 |
| oc80z | Monica_2, so you need it fixed asap | 23:08 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, and they need to go soon | 23:08 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: Just select that, and run it. But if you want to make it so GDM doesn't start, turn GDM off.... | 23:08 |
| oc80z | Monica_2, delete what you changed please | 23:08 |
| jc___ | SeaPhor: Sorry I just realized I replyed to a note that was not sent to me stupid me, anyway thanks for the info, I think its just comes up as a tab in chatzilla | 23:08 |

| Slart | jc___: you can also get a list of installed packages by running dpkg -l search for a package by using dpkg -l | grep -i somethingtosearchfor | 23:15 |
| Flannel | p: try #MacOSX or ##macosx | 23:15 |
| Monica_2 | jack_sparrow, thank you | 23:15 |
| JoshJ | J-a-k-e, it's all in /boot/grub | 23:15 |

| JoshJ | depending on what your problem is you may need to edit some files in there | 23:15 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: How does it stop working? | 23:16 |
| J-a-k-e | corto_: I've got it, tried it doesn't work | 23:16 |

| __mork | Hi. how to automatically change gateway depending on wireless or wired connection has been established | 23:18 |
| JoshJ | oc80z, is that C or F? | 23:18 |
| oc80z | F] | 23:18 |
| Slart | oc80z: well.. unless you're using it to fry up something for breakfast I'd say it is | 23:18 |
| oc80z | really? | 23:19 |
| Coder365_ | __mork, set up profiles in your connection settings | 23:19 |
| oc80z | its running Ubuntu PPC | 23:19 |
| Flannel | !bum | MrBashir | 23:19 |
| __mork | (guru needed ;-) ) | 23:19 |
| ubottu | MrBashir: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 23:19 |
| Slart | oc80z: oh.. farenheit.. then it's not to bad =) | 23:19 |
| Coder365_ | then you can switch and hit apply | 23:19 |
| JoshJ | oc80z, 51 celsius isn't too bad | 23:19 |
| jc___ | Slart: yep that worked thanks | 23:19 |
| Carbonflux | hm, well it looks like I was able to get everything working with pulse audio still installed after all, with the exception of VLC, its refusing to play nice looks like. | 23:19 |
| JoshJ | oc80z, i'm at 40 on my desktop, my laptop is reguarly 55-60 | 23:19 |
| JoshJ | (celsius) | 23:19 |
| JoshJ | it used to hit 80 before i cleaned it out >_> | 23:19 |
| kane77 | why does it fail to install the openssl-blacklist update? it says hash mismatch.. | 23:20 |
| J-a-k-e | I have windows on a 160 ide, ubuntu on a 30 ide, and a 320sata with all my data on it, have tried installing grub the mbr of all of these but after a few times it always stops working. either gets stuck at the loading screen or something along the lines of error 17 or 18 i think missing partition | 23:20 |
| harpreet | i am trying to configure my wireless AR5007 802.11 network card and it doesnt work with madwifi or ndiswrapper. The driver gets installed by it does not recognize device | 23:20 |
| __mork | if i have default gateway in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 as well as for eth1 (wireless), if both come up i experience routing problem | 23:20 |
| __mork | how to avoid it (without use of nm)?? | 23:20 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: is it broken currently? | 23:20 |
| Coder365_ | hm | 23:20 |
| oc80z | Hmm | 23:20 |
| oc80z | wierd | 23:20 |
| Monica_2 | ok, how do i revert from kubuntu desktop, back to gnome | 23:21 |
| JoshJ | monica: on the login screen, hit settings in the corner | 23:21 |
| JoshJ | and there's a choice there | 23:21 |
| Monica_2 | or is kubuntu somehow better? | 23:21 |
| Flannel | Monica_2: and under "sessions" choose gnome | 23:21 |
| JoshJ | Monica_2, please don't start a gnome/KDE flamewar | 23:21 |
| jagggy | Monica_2, both have positive and negative points... | 23:21 |
| Monica_2 | ohhh, thanks guys | 23:21 |
| JoshJ | you might as well ask whether vi is better than emacs | 23:21 |
| Monica_2 | woops! | 23:21 |
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: Yes I am running windows at the moment the only thing that will boot and I can only load it by booting off the 30 ide (slave drive) and selecting it from there | 23:21 |
| Flannel | Monica_2: They're different, different people like different things, etc. | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 did you get working kubuntu? | 23:22 |
| === jconnolly_ is now known as jconnolly | ||
| Monica_2 | then disregard that last ?, ok | 23:22 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, it is at 72% | 23:22 |
| harpreet | stop harrassing me monica | 23:22 |
| JoshJ | anyway, a problem of my own. "Desktop effects could not be enabled". I'm on an ATI Radeon HD 2400 pro with the ATI driver gotten from EnvyNG | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | People, she isnt trying to start a flame war, we installed kubuntu to get around a problem | 23:22 |
| AcornAcorn | gah, i can't even navigate to the azureus download folder.. | 23:22 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: If its broken currently, boot into Ubuntu (since we'll need to reead the files there) and we'll take a look | 23:22 |
| harpreet | i am trying to configure my wireless AR5007 802.11 network card and it doesnt work with madwifi or ndiswrapper. The driver gets installed by it does not recognize device | 23:23 |
| Darlok_Williams | I have an IDE hard drive installed as master into my PIDE slot, but it still isn't recognized by BIOS. Any ideas? | 23:23 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: Wait, You say you can successfully boot by choosing the 30 from the BIOS to boot from? | 23:23 |
| Coder365_ | My sound in ubuntu quit working, someone help | 23:23 |
| harpreet | i am trying to configure my wireless AR5007 802.11 network card and it doesnt work with madwifi or ndiswrapper. The driver gets installed by it does not recognize device | 23:23 |
| jagggy | Jack_Sparrow, why would one start a flamewar about that? those 2 are totaly difrent, you can't compare them :s | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !attitude | harpreet | 23:23 |
| ubottu | harpreet: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:24 |
| Takalius | Flannel, Luig1, I got it all fixed without reinstalling | 23:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jagggy everyone has a favorite.. | 23:24 |
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: yes, but only to windows, selecting ubuntu displays an error | 23:24 |
| punkk | Is there a way to see who is in the channel? | 23:24 |
| Stu | how do I type a hash on the thin aluminium mac keyboard ?? | 23:24 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: Alright, and when you boot off your 320, what do you get? | 23:24 |
| Flannel | punkk: /names | 23:24 |
| ganymede | does anyone know how i can make computer, home, and trash icons not appear on the desktop in gnome? | 23:24 |

| bnex10 | is there a package | 23:25 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: Well, I got it to boot to tty by default using bum. | 23:25 |
| __mork | Hi. how to automatically change gateway depending on wireless or wired connection has been established? | 23:25 |
| JoshJ | punkk, do view -> user list | 23:25 |
| punkk | JosjJ, thanks ill try that | 23:25 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: However, ratpoison won't run ("Can't open display). | 23:25 |
| Flannel | Stu: shift-3? | 23:25 |
| corto_ | <J-a-k-e> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml | 23:25 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparro, i got a display manager screen | 23:25 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: try startx | 23:25 |
| JoshJ | (sorry, had to find it again, i've had it set for a while) | 23:25 |
| Stu | Flannel: that gives a £ | 23:25 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: startx loads up fluxbox | 23:25 |
| Stu | Flannel: im on a UK mac keyboard | 23:25 |
| bnex10 | hey you're talking abotu fluxbox | 23:25 |
| JoshJ | !fluxbox | 23:26 |
| ubottu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 23:26 |
| bnex10 | i need help with fluxbox too | 23:26 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, what should i do? | 23:26 |
| ChaosTheory_ | bnex10: Sorry, I don't actually use fluxbox. =P | 23:26 |
| bnex10 | alright | 23:26 |
| Flannel | Stu: You might try in #ubuntu-uk, I'm not sure where a hash is on a UK keyboard | 23:26 |
| bnex10 | i'm using kubntu :D | 23:26 |
| corto_ | <harpreet> check http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/08/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/ | 23:26 |
| Flannel | JoshJ: was that really necessary? | 23:26 |
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: " loading grub 1.5, loading. " computer freezes must hit reset button | 23:26 |
| JoshJ | Flannel, that was for bnex10 so he can find out how to set it up | 23:26 |
| ChaosTheory_ | bnex10: I use a weird Ubuntu/Kubuntu thing that runs neither, which probably means I need to switch to Slackware. =D | 23:26 |
| Stu | Flannel: please say that channel name again with the hash but without the comma at the end so I can join it, its kinda impossible without a hash key | 23:26 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, nevermind, it was multiple choice, lol | 23:26 |
| Flannel | Stu: #ubuntu-uk | 23:27 |
| Stu | Flannel: im being stupid , I can just delete teh comma lol | 23:27 |
| tritium | Flannel: it's above the Enter key on the right side of the keyboard. | 23:27 |
| Stu | Flannel: thanks | 23:27 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: startx loads up fluxbox | 23:27 |
| legend2440 | ganymede: open gconf-editor go to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible and uncheck boxes | 23:27 |
| harpreet_ | 23:27 | |

| ganymede | legend2440: thanks | 23:28 |
| zixo | gg | 23:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | harpreet_ English please.... | 23:29 |
| Flannel | ChaosTheory_: I've just always used GDM, but I believe you'll need to pass startx some option to get it to use ratpoison as default | 23:29 |
| STSX | I was able to tweak things in Gutsy so that my computer suspends OK. Before I upgraded to Hardy, I thought I would see what things might break, so I did a fresh install of Hardy on another partition; even after doing the exact tweaks that worked before, I can't get my computer to suspend. Any ideas how to troubleshoot? | 23:29 |
| corto_ | :) | 23:29 |
| harpreet_ | jack i wrote in english and i wrote to corto and i believe he understood, ok? | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !lol | harpreet_ | 23:30 |
| ubottu | harpreet_: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 23:30 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: Alright, so looks like your MBR on your 320 (I'm assuming that's your primary boot device?) has the wrong partition for /boot, or at least, it appears to. But we can fix the Ubuntu one too. You could always just boot to the second IDE by default | 23:30 |
| darkstorm^ | hi pplz | 23:30 |
| corto_ | <harpreet_> Iget you 'nd you're welcome | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | harpreet_ Perhaps I should have asked NOT to use shorthand texting in the channel | 23:31 |
| robg_ | STSX: Ubuntu 8.04 Alternate does not hibernate. It only starts up and shuts down. I suspect this is related to drive encryption. | 23:31 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, kubuntu started fine, but it is still a white screen :( | 23:31 |
| tritium | Monica_2: if it were me, I'd just have reinstalled gdm. | 23:32 |
| harpreet_ | its ok jack i did not use 'lol' though | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 perhaps I am not understanding the depth of your problem.. Are you just talking about the wallpaper being blank? | 23:32 |
| STSX | robg: I installed using the Desktop LiveCD, not the Alternate. Is that what you are talking about? | 23:32 |
| bnex10 | +e? | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | harpreet_ You did use shorthand.. If you want to split hairs we can discuss it in private or in ops | 23:32 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, no, when it logs on, it is just a blank, white screen, no desktop-nothing | 23:32 |
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: primary boot device is my 160 ide maxter windows xp, 30 ide is my secondary linux drive and the 320 sata is just a data partition | 23:33 |
| ganymede | is there a way to make xchat skip the system tray? | 23:33 |
| Slart | §/j #ubuntu-ops | 23:33 |
| robg_ | STSX: That distro should be able to hibernate. | 23:33 |
| Monica_2 | i get an xserver error, could that be it? | 23:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 I cant figure out what you did.. | 23:33 |
| JoshJ | ganymede, yes | 23:33 |
| __mork | Hi. how to automatically change gateway depending on wireless or wired connection has been established? | 23:33 |
| ChaosTheory_ | Flannel: startx loads fluxbox | 23:33 |
| MrBashir | Thanks Flannel, but I think I got it :) | 23:33 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: Sorry, I think I had crossed the 160 and the 320. If you boot to the 160, you get the grub 15 error? Either way, booting to the 30 works, so we'll go with that for a while. | 23:33 |
| JoshJ | ganymede, settings-preferences-chatting-alerts, uncheck "enable system tray icon" | 23:33 |
| STSX | robg: Note I'm trying to get my computer to suspend, not hibernate. | 23:33 |
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: should I boot off the live cd and reinstall grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 the stuff above the red section works for me | 23:34 |
| tritium | robg_: regardless of install media (alternate/desktop), you can hibernate/suspend in 8.04 | 23:34 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, i keep getting an xserver error | 23:34 |
| CShadowRun | Hey, trying to get my Dell latitude D600 to connect to wireless, It won't connect. It seems to think my wireless adapter is an ethernet connection? (It calls it eth1) | 23:34 |
| ganymede | JoshJ: thanks | 23:34 |
| Piojoo | hey... is it normal that, using synaptic, and with a bandwidth of 1mB/s, it downloads at 15kB/s ? can someone help me please? | 23:34 |
| JoshJ | ganymede, np | 23:34 |
| Stu | ganymede.... aint that a planet or something ? | 23:34 |
| JoshJ | moon | 23:34 |
| robg_ | tritium: not if you have encrypted the hard drive | 23:34 |
| Stu | ah | 23:34 |
| JoshJ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganymede_(moon) | 23:34 |
| tritium | robg_: again, I was only referring to installation media | 23:34 |
| JoshJ | so, how do i go back to the old firefox address bar? | 23:34 |
| Stu | yeah ill just beleive you :P | 23:35 |
| JoshJ | lol Stu :p | 23:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CShadowRun can you connect hardwire .. do your updates.. my c640 and c610's worked after doing that | 23:35 |
| Slart | Piojoo: try selecting a mirror closer to you | 23:35 |
| CShadowRun | Jack_Sparrow kk, doing it. | 23:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Monica_2 I dont have any answers atm.. kinda busy with a couple of things | 23:35 |
| Stu | anyone know how to blacklist an update from synaptics... it keeps trying to download ubuntu-modules because I have installed custom ones and if it gets installed its gonna mess me about | 23:35 |
| darkstorm^ | anyone an idea why 'update-alternatives' doesnt show me the installed icedtea-java7? i've installed plugin, jre and the gcjwebplugin :/ | 23:35 |
| tritium | Monica_2: have you tried reinstalling gdm? | 23:36 |
| Monica_2 | Jack_Sparrow, ok, thank you | 23:36 |
| Piojoo | Slart: what mirror? i'm talking about synaptic... | 23:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pinning | Stu | 23:36 |
| JoshJ | Piojoo, the package mirrors | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Stu: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:36 |
| corto_ | About GRUB : Not sure it help but the partitionning soft during the installation of Ubuntu made 'bad' partitions. I have had to partition the HD first then lauch the liveCD to install without problem... | 23:36 |
| JoshJ | synaptic is nothing more than a frontend which pulls stuff from a web server | 23:36 |
| Stu | ta | 23:36 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: We don't need you to reinstall GRUB just yet, since we can get to the grub menu from the 30. But yes, to get it to GRUB from the 160, you'll need to reinstall GRUB on the primary's MBR. We just need to edit the grub menu to get Ubuntu to boot. Which... well, would be easier if we were in Ubuntu. But we should be ok. Go to the GRUB menu, and highlight one of the ubuntu lines, and hit 'e', we'll need to know the root line (something lik | 23:36 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, how do i do that? srry for so many questions | 23:36 |
| Piojoo | how do i choose the mirrors? | 23:36 |
| Slart | Piojoo: system, administration, software sources, select a mirror closer to you | 23:36 |
| tritium | Monica_2: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm | 23:36 |
| JoshJ | Piojoo, so if you need a different mirror you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:36 |
| JoshJ | or do what Slart said | 23:36 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, ok, trying that now | 23:37 |
| Slart | Piojoo: synaptic downloads stuff from a server somewhere.. that somewhere is either the main ubuntu server or a mirror | 23:37 |
| lopin | I need some help with VNC on a server. I recently installed Xubuntu-Desktop in an attempt to have a basic gui, after the one I built didn't work quite as expected. Anyway, when I vnc in, I don't see the panels... | 23:37 |
| xenos_ | the display manager won't let me choose 1600x1200 its not an option. How do I get it to recognize that resolution? | 23:37 |
| Slart | !res | xenos_ | 23:37 |
| ubottu | xenos_: 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 | 23:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tritium that is kinda what I was thinking when I had her install kubuntu desktop and it didnt get around the problem | 23:37 |
| tritium | Jack_Sparrow: is kubuntu using kdm, or gdm? | 23:37 |
| Piojoo | and how do i choose them? :S | 23:38 |
| Flannel | Monica_2: What color is your login screen? orange/brownish? or blueish? | 23:38 |
| corto_ | <tritium> the letter K... why this letter in Kutuntu ? | 23:38 |
| lopin | And, xdm isn't starting on start up. I have to log in through the console, and then startx | 23:38 |
| tritium | corto_: to signify that it uses the KDE desktop | 23:38 |
| lopin | corto_: That's they're thing... | 23:39 |
| JoshJ | Piojoo, hang on | 23:39 |
| Flannel | lopin: xubuntu uses GDM by default | 23:39 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, it says: invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action reload failed | 23:39 |
| tritium | Monica_2: that means your gdm configuration is bad | 23:39 |
| JoshJ | !mirrors | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 23:39 |
| lopin | Flannel: I know. I'm using xdm from when I put together the desktop applications myself. | 23:39 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, should i try kdm? | 23:39 |
| alan_m | !torrents > alan_m | 23:40 |
| lopin | !.! | 23:40 |
| Piojoo | no, it's not that... | 23:40 |
| JoshJ | yeah was looking for the packages mirrors | 23:40 |
| tritium | Monica_2: no | 23:40 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, ok, any ideas/ anyone? | 23:40 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: alright, do you want the boot line off the 30 or my 160, both load grub tho only my 30 can get into windows | 23:41 |
| tritium | Monica_2: I suspect the reinstall of gdm didn't overwrite your custom gdm configuration. I'd delete /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, and reinstall gdm again | 23:41 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: er... both load grub? Do you have more than one Linux install on this computer? | 23:42 |
| Monica_2 | ok, is that the command for the console? | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tritium thanks for helping on that.. | 23:42 |
| Piojoo | JoshJ: thanks! :D | 23:42 |
| JoshJ | no Monica_2 those are filenames | 23:42 |
| tritium | Jack_Sparrow: sure, we'll see how it goes | 23:42 |
| JoshJ | Monica_2, the command is going to be "sudo rm /etc/gdm/gdm.conf" | 23:42 |
| Flannel | Monica_2: sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm | 23:42 |
| JoshJ | (and the same for the other file) | 23:42 |
| JoshJ | or yeah, do what Flannel said | 23:42 |
| Piojoo | Slart: thanks to u too... =) | 23:42 |
| Flannel | JoshJ, tritium, shouldn't manually delete files under package management | 23:42 |
| JoshJ | true | 23:42 |
| Monica_2 | ok | 23:42 |
| tritium | Flannel: we're reinstalling gdm to fix the broken config | 23:42 |
| JoshJ | tritium, right, hence the --purge | 23:43 |
| JoshJ | --purge makes apt-get remove also remove config files | 23:43 |
| Treeh416 | Hey, does anyone here understand hexvalues? | 23:43 |
| Flannel | tritium: yes, purge it and reinstall, don't delete the files. It causes dpkg to not like you | 23:43 |
| Slart | Treeh416: yes | 23:43 |
| tritium | Flannel: yes, good point | 23:43 |
| JoshJ | Treeh416, if you mean "can convert hex to decimal" sure | 23:43 |
| JoshJ | but well google can do that :p | 23:43 |
| corto_ | I miss my Winamp... MP3 gui with Ubuntu are... sad. Is there any MP3 player with cool plug-in ? | 23:43 |

| Flannel | J-a-k-e: If they both load GRUB, does the menu you get with each look the same? | 23:43 |
| oc80z | corq-FL, XMMS | 23:43 |
| Treeh416 | JoshJ, here one second, I need to show you something in reference | 23:44 |
| Treeh416 | Slart, here one second, I need to show you something in reference | 23:44 |
| Slart | JoshJ: if people used google before asking here we'd have a lot less to do =) | 23:44 |
| JoshJ | Slart, lol , fair enough | 23:44 |
| tritium | Monica_2: that will also remove fast-user-switch-applet and gdm, if you remove --purge | 23:44 |

| harpreet_ | tritium u have answer? | 23:45 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, i already did it, was that a no no/ | 23:45 |
| J-a-k-e | Flannel: yes the menu looks the same. winxp on my 160, and hardy 8.04 on my 30 it's just that i've tried installing grub to different drives. The 320 last time grub was working was the only drive i could load ubuntu off. thing is I used to use 7.10 and had none of these problems | 23:45 |

| harpreet_ | spam? lol | 23:46 |
| Monica_2 | ok, should gdm or kdm be the default display manager/ | 23:46 |

| redwyrm | hi. I'm trying to install the DOM inspector for Firefox 3.0b5. It shows up as installed in Synaptic, but I don't see it in any menu in Firefox, nor is it listed as installed in the Add-Ins window. I tried to install it via the Add-Ins window, but I got an error saying that it was incompatible. I found nothing about this error using Google. Please help! :( | 23:46 |
| Treeh416 | JoshJ, do you understand the problem :S? | 23:46 |
| JoshJ | ah, it's not hex | 23:46 |
| JoshJ | it's ASCII | 23:46 |
| JoshJ | i think. | 23:47 |
| tritium | Monica_2: what step are you at? You've purged gdm? Have you reinstalled yet? | 23:47 |
| tritium | !enter | JoshJ | 23:47 |
| ubottu | JoshJ: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:47 |
| JoshJ | hex 31323830 does not lead to 1280... | 23:47 |
| Slart | Treeh416: I think those are ascii values for the characters.. ie '1' is 31, '2' is 32, etc etc.. | 23:47 |
| JoshJ | yep, found it. hang on, what resolution did you want? | 23:47 |
| Monica_2 | ok, tritium:just a sec | 23:47 |

| bnex10 | it's kinda annoying | 23:47 |
| CShadowRun | 31323830 decimal -> hex 1DDF6B6 | 23:47 |
| Treeh416 | Slart, Oh....how do I do that ? | 23:47 |
| tritium | Monica_2: it was a question | 23:47 |
| Treeh416 | JoshJ, Slart said they're ascii characters :S | 23:47 |
| JoshJ | Treeh416, yeah, same conclusion i found | 23:48 |
| JoshJ | what resolution did you want? | 23:48 |
| effowe | i have tried manually configuring my eth0 connection and it will only work when i run dhclient, can anyone pm for a couple of minutes to resolve this? | 23:48 |
| Flannel | J-a-k-e: the reinstalling that you're doing is only reinstalling the bootloader portion (stage1), which sits on the MBR (yes, we're getting a little technical here), the stuff on the MBR boots GRUB which sits in your /boot partition (which, if you only have one partition for linux, is inside your / partition). So, all three of these drives all (should) be trying to boot to the same /boot, which is why they're all identical. We just need to fix yo | 23:48 |
| ben34 | i have connected to a desktop by ssh, how can i open a program on the logged on users seesion | 23:48 |
| tritium | effowe: do you have it set "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces? | 23:48 |
| corto_ | Is there a soft to convert a raster image to an ascii 'image' ? | 23:48 |
| Treeh416 | JoshJ, so i just need a decimal to asscii calculator? | 23:48 |
| Slart | Treeh416: you want 1900x1200 .. '1' is 31, '9' is 39, '0' is 30 ... well.. you can do the rest | 23:48 |
| effowe | tritium: yes i do | 23:48 |
| Flannel | corto_: check out libcaca or libaa | 23:48 |
| Treeh416 | Slart, oh...just put a 3 in front of everything? | 23:48 |
| tritium | effowe: out of curiosity, why are you manually configuring it, rather than using network manager? | 23:48 |
| JoshJ | no | 23:49 |
| Slart | Treeh416: tadaa! =) | 23:49 |
| corto_ | <Flannel> ok thanx | 23:49 |

| tritium | Monica_2: please tell me what step you're at. | 23:49 |
| Slart | Treeh416: and you've got the values for 'x' from the example | 23:49 |
| JoshJ | ah, 1920x1200... should be 31 39 32 30 78 31 32 30 30 00 | 23:49 |
| rbw | my Azureus keeps locking the system. | 23:49 |
| effowe | tritium: i installed 8.04 server so i got dumped to a command line, during install it was hanging during apt configuration so i had to unplug my ethernet during install, which is why i have to manually configure it now | 23:49 |

| CShadowRun | Can anyone help me? Ubuntu thinks my wireless is an ethernet...and it won't connect (But it appears to roam for networks fine...just not connect.) | 23:51 |
| alado2 | Slart: i have an old ati card right now, and that doesnt work well | 23:51 |
| Treeh416 | JoshJ, Ok, thanks a bunch | 23:52 |
| CShadowRun | haha, 1337 people in the channel right now. Leet :D | 23:52 |
| xodiak | alado2: I have an ATI radeon 9550 that is giving me problems on a couple of games. Desktop apps it looks / works okay. | 23:52 |
| Slart | alado2: ok.. then I'd go with nvidia.. | 23:52 |
| alado2 | is there a list somewhere with supported cards maybe? | 23:52 |

| JoshJ | peternix, you sure it's not the 1024/1000 thing? | 23:57 |
| peternix | It wouldn't be that big a difference | 23:58 |
| peternix | package says 320 gigs | 23:58 |

| xq | tico: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3340051 | 23:58 |
| tritium | Monica_2: since you removed gdm as Flannel suggested, you need to reinstall the two packages that got removed along with it (ubuntu-dekstop and fast-user-switch-applet) | 23:58 |
| anonymous__ | yeah i think it owuld peternix | 23:58 |
| anonymous__ | *would | 23:58 |
| JoshJ | because it's 1024*1024*1024 vs 1000*1000*1000 | 23:58 |

| Monica_2 | tritium, thank you for your patience and help....what would the code be/ | 23:58 |
| peternix | But my package says 320 gigs | 23:58 |
| Slart | peternix: you're sure it isn't 298? | 23:58 |
| xq | tico: You can go to Page 2, really. Also just make sure it's installed using Synaptic -- it may actually just ask for options after install? Have you installed it via Synaptic or sudo apt-get install grub | 23:59 |
| peternix | Slart: I am just going by the sticker on the package I bought | 23:59 |
| tritium | Monica_2: it's not code, but can you verify whether or not they were reinstalled along with gdm by looking at the screen output? | 23:59 |
| JoshJ | peternix, that's about perfect | 23:59 |

| Flannel | tritium: f-u-s-a is a dep of ubuntu-desktop, so if its not, there are other issues. | 23:59 |
| tico | xq: i did it through apt-get | 23:59 |
| Rixon- | maybe the partition is 298, and you still have 32gigs unpartitioned | 23:59 |
| Monica_2 | tritium, not now, actually, it wont let me | 23:59 |
| theom3ga | the "sitar" command isn't available at ubuntu, is it? I've tried searching for it but I got nothing | 23:59 |
