| raulh | whats a good game emulator for ubuntu? | 00:00 |
| Steve-cal | vrkhans: So how far did you get? Did you figure out whether to use Madwifi or ndiswrapper for your card? | 00:00 |
| AaronH | Scunizi, "ifconfig" | 00:00 |
| kitche | afallenhope: nothing it's for grub most likely | 00:00 |
| Scunizi | AaronH: thanks. | 00:01 |
| AaronH | np | 00:01 |
| afallenhope | okays.. well I changed a few things.. like.. commented out one partition.. and on top of tha tchangd the interval and used colours.. i'm sure I can change it all back | 00:01 |
| afallenhope | ty ty | 00:01 |
| FreeFull | raulh, what do you mean by "game emulator"? Do you want to emulate a particural console, or do you want to run Windows games? | 00:01 |
| Zaiden | Would the "Mark all Upgrades" option in the synaptic package manager be a good or bad idea? | 00:01 |

| m1dn1ght | To the chap who wanted to know how I got on installing encrypted ubuntu partition (sorry forgot name): Fraid I can't get past the first hurdle. Whatever drivers are on the alternative CD apparently don't match the ones on the Live CD. Booting with my usual options (noapic, acpi=off) gives an error message about pnpbios. Adding pnpbios=off gets further, but then the graphics go wild and just get a load of crazy lines squiggling across the scree | 00:01 |
| m1dn1ght | n. | 00:01 |
| fde | Zaiden: Good... unless you want to wait for packages to install, then go to a seperate tool to update the rest... | 00:02 |
| m1dn1ght | Oh - if anyone has an answer for the alternative CD problem, that question wasn't just directed at the guy I mentioned :) | 00:02 |
| Zaiden | Oh hey, there's an upgrade for the generic thing | 00:02 |
| raulh | ok 1 last question how can i install these library's | 00:03 |
| raulh | libc6 >= 2.2.4-4, xlibmesa3 or libgl1, python >= 2.3, python-gtk2 >= 2.6, python-glade2, wget (python 2.4 and python2.4-dbus strongly recommended) | 00:03 |
| afallenhope | brb reboot yay! new kernel (N) | 00:03 |
| Swish | I can build an ubuntu kernel from source, but I can't figure out how to properly edit the .config kernel options and still be able to use the magic ubuntu/debian scripts to updateconfigs and then build the kernel | 00:04 |
| Swish | help? :) | 00:04 |
| kitche | Swish: why are you editting .config by hand? | 00:04 |
| allquixotic | Hello; has anyone found a good HowTo for setting up ethernet connecting sharing between two Ubuntu 8.04 machines? I have two network cards in one computer (which I want to be a NAT gateway).. eth0 -> internet, and eth1 will share eth0 to my laptop. But how? | 00:05 |
| Swish | kitche, it seems the debian/config/i386/config file is in some different format than the .config file generated by xconfig or makeconfig | 00:05 |
| raulh | allquixtocix buy a ethernet port 0_o? | 00:05 |
| allquixotic | raulh, it's not necessary to _buy_ anything.. I'm attempting to use my Ubuntu box (with two ethernet cards) to perform the same functionality as a hardware ethernet switch. | 00:06 |
| AaronH | allquixotic, I know it can be done with iptables | 00:06 |
| Swish | I can generate a .config on my own using xconfig or makeconfig, but I don't understand how to use those .config file options in the normal Hardy kernel-build process | 00:06 |
| AaronH | allquixotic, firestarter is a GUI for configuring iptables and I think it is able to set up connection sharing for you | 00:07 |

| Swish | kitche, I'm having the exact same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227835 | 00:09 |
| alan_m | harpreet, you must download the ubuntu restricted extras package for that. | 00:09 |
| * Swish reads more on that thread | 00:09 | |
| polz | raulh: it's supported. | 00:09 |
| raulh | how can i install it? | 00:09 |

| anacaona | hello. i need help with sound. running heron and for the last few weeks sometimes Flash videos are silent in Firefox, I can't play MP3s (I've tried in Amarok, in RhythmPlayer, but it works with mpg321) and I don't have any sound in AVIs. I've tried keyword searching but I only get old results (from 2005-07). can anyone help? | 00:10 |
| raulh | because ubuntu isnt reading it right. | 00:10 |
| polz | raulh: in fact, when it was new, it was one of the best supported cards on the market | 00:10 |
| alan_m | harpreet, you can go to add/remove under applications..or try searching for it through synaptic | 00:10 |
| crimsun | anacaona: install libflashsupport, or wait for us to backport alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, and flashplugin-nonfree | 00:10 |
| Swish | too bad nobody answered that guy's question on the forum :) | 00:10 |
| raulh | polz: how do i install it on ubuntu | 00:10 |
| allquixotic | AaronH: Using firestarter to set up the sharing was remarkably easy; thanks! | 00:10 |
| allquixotic | AaronH: Thank goodness for small favors. :-) | 00:11 |

| magnus_ | can anyone help me with a failing fstab conf? | 00:11 |
| polz | raulh: what do you mean by "not read" ? | 00:12 |
| polz | usually, graphics cards are _written_ to | 00:12 |
| magnus_ | IGORV: what computer is it? | 00:12 |
| raulh | its using a generic reader. the card is not using its full potentioal | 00:13 |
| raulh | so opengl | 00:13 |

| polz | raulh: I don't think directx is supported under linux | 00:13 |
| AaronH | raulh, directX is supported in wine | 00:14 |
| polz | raulh: have you installed libgl1-mesa-dri or whatever that lib is called ? | 00:14 |
| Steve-cal | IGORV: If you are interested in a flavor of Ubuntu, try Fluxbuntu for a weak computer. | 00:14 |
| obf213 | type | 00:14 |
| raulh | i asked earlier and nobody would tell me how to install librearys | 00:14 |
| obf213 | g=fg===== | 00:14 |
| polz | AaronH: but it's not going to work all that well on a G200 | 00:14 |
| magnus_ | how can i know what is wrong with this fstab line: #UUID=6c7278c4-f9a9-4a40-b478-028aa5856bdc /media/Media ext3 defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 00:14 |
| AaronH | true | 00:14 |
| polz | even a G400 had pretty poor 3D performance | 00:14 |
| Industrial | How do I uninstall oss completely? I already uninstalled pulseaudio but the option of OSS remains in the audio options. Also I have a problem with a game not wanting to start the sound because of comflicts between OSS/ALSA :S? I cant see any installed oss package. | 00:15 |
| Steve-cal | magnus_: Why don't you first pastebin your fstab file? Maybe someone can help you then. | 00:15 |
| magnus_ | Steve-cal: its only that one line that doesnt work :( | 00:15 |
| obf213 | ghelp | 00:15 |
| IGORV | Whats least demanding linux distro out there, I have a weak computer that is in need of an OS. It came originally with W98 and has intel inside celeron processor, so it's a weakling. | 00:15 |
| obf213 | j=keyboars= | 00:16 |
| Steve-cal | magnus_: And what are the symptoms/errors you get? | 00:16 |
| Chousuke | magnus_: it seems to be commented out.. | 00:16 |
| obf213 | messed*up]] | 00:16 |
| raulh | igoRV im on a hp vectra with a p3 ubuntu will run well on that | 00:16 |
| Chousuke | magnus_: also, why do you have an umask for an ext3 filesystem? | 00:16 |
| sensae | clicking on my date and time crashes the top gnome panel | 00:16 |
| AaronH | IGORV, Xubuntu is suppost to be light on resources | 00:16 |
| magnus_ | Steve-cal: I cant mount the drive even as root. When commented out i can mount it | 00:16 |
| AaronH | suppose* | 00:17 |
| magnus_ | Chousuke: yea i put the # there now its not supposed to be there | 00:17 |
| IGORV | Fluxbuntu proved to eat it alive, so doubt Xubuntu will be good | 00:17 |
| m13 | IGORV: xubuntu with openbox do fine here on 500mh 256ram | 00:17 |
| IGORV | Anyone try Arch or DSL? | 00:17 |
| kitche | Industrial: oss is part of the kernel and Alsa has a aoss option so your kind of stuck with it | 00:17 |
| magnus_ | Chousuke: whats wrong with my umask? :) | 00:17 |
| IGORV | m13, i have 64m ram | 00:17 |
| Industrial | kitche: crap :P | 00:17 |
| Chousuke | magnus_: you don't need one for ext3. ext3 supports unix permissions | 00:17 |
| Steve-cal | magnus_: How are you trying to mount it as root? "sudo mount -a" or something? What exactly is your command syntax? | 00:17 |
| usser | magnus_, ext3 doesnt support umask or gid for that matter | 00:17 |
| m13 | IGORV: then go for puppylinux | 00:17 |
| usser | magnus_, thats why it complains | 00:18 |
| IGORV | Puppylinux is live only i thought. | 00:18 |
| kitche | Industrial since a lot of software still uses oss | 00:18 |
| polz | raulh: anyway, the driver you want to use is called mga, it's contained in the packet xserver-xorg-video-mga | 00:18 |
| magnus_ | Steve-cal: sudo mount /dev/sdb2 | 00:18 |
| polz | raulh: refer to man mga for more info | 00:18 |
| m13 | IGORV: puppy or dsl | 00:18 |
| * polz is going to sleep now | 00:18 | |
| Industrial | kitche: well if it helps any the game is Stepmania, I just compiled it for x64 and the error I get when launching it is Couldn't load driver OSS: RageSoundDriver_OSS: ALSA detected. ALSA OSS emulation is buggy; use ALSA natively. | 00:18 |
| magnus_ | Steve-cal: but it should be mounted on startup since i have default options | 00:18 |
| polz | so good night, everyone | 00:18 |
| raulh | polz how do i install that packet | 00:18 |
| yojesus | how do i change my pannel so it would like the one that apple has | 00:18 |
| raulh | k night | 00:18 |
| raulh | thnx | 00:18 |
| Industrial | kitche: game works fine tho, just no sound ... | 00:18 |
| magnus_ | usser: TY m8 | 00:18 |
| xenos | How do I know that my computer is safe from *Hackers* ? | 00:18 |
| polz | raulh: the same way you install any packet | 00:18 |
| Industrial | kitche: and its a music/rhythm game >_< | 00:19 |
| obf213 | help.i.can.barelu.type.keyboard.messed.up.please.help.please | 00:19 |
| IGORV | m13: does puppy have a direct install CD since i only found live-cd's | 00:19 |
| polz | raulh: through apt-get or synaptic | 00:19 |
| magnus_ | Chousuke: thx :))) | 00:19 |
| bazhang_ | !awn | yojesus | 00:19 |
| ubottu | yojesus: Avant Window Navigator, is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 00:19 |
| sensae | For some reason, clicking on the date crashes my top gnome panel | 00:19 |
| Industrial | obf213: get a doctor | 00:19 |
| Chousuke | magnus_: usser is probably right. remove teh umask and gid stuff. | 00:19 |
| m13 | IGORV: u install it from live cd | 00:19 |
| sensae | Axe that, it crashes all the gnome panels | 00:19 |
| Chousuke | magnus_: you'll probably need to chmod or chown the mountpoint, as I think by default it's owned by root. | 00:19 |
| magnus_ | Chousuke: will try that surely it will work now thx guys | 00:19 |
| usser | magnus_, np if u want it to be mounted as specific user user default options mount it and sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /media/Media | 00:20 |
| kitche | Industrial: sounds like a game that is not programmed for aoss correctly I believe there is oss packages in the repo but not sure | 00:20 |
| Industrial | oss-compat but didnt hel | 00:20 |
| Industrial | p | 00:20 |
| usser | magnus_, *use default options | 00:20 |
| Steve-cal | magnus_: I believe you need to give it a mount point when you do it manually: "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2" or similar (and sdb2? did you type that right?) | 00:20 |
| raulh | does anyone know a good ubuntu themes site for darker things? | 00:20 |
| sensae | Anyone else having date applet problems or know what could be causing it? | 00:20 |
| obf213 | seriusly.what.can.i.do3 | 00:20 |
| usser | raulh, gnome-look.org | 00:20 |
| Chousuke | Steve-cal: if it has an fstab entry it's not needed. | 00:20 |
| raulh | thank you usser | 00:20 |
| IGORV | m13: Does puppy partition itself, or do i have to have everything setup in FAT etc for it to actually install | 00:21 |
| Steve-cal | Chousuke: Yes, but he has it commented out right now I thought. | 00:21 |
| yojesus | ubottu: wat u mean by it can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 00:21 |
| ubottu | yojesus: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:21 |
| jramsey | IGORV, nuclinux, small linux, basic linux | 00:21 |
| yojesus | ok ty | 00:21 |
| magnus_ | Steve-cal: yea sdb2 it is. i thought you didnt have to specify mount point when it is in fstab configuration but im not sure on that one either | 00:21 |
| Chousuke | magnus_: you don't have to | 00:22 |
| bazhang_ | IGORV, this is for ubuntu support not puppylinux; please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:22 |

| sCOTTo | !server | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 00:22 |
| obf213 | g=fg===== | 00:22 |
| Steve-cal | magnus_: No, Chousuke is right if it is in your fstab, but I thought it was commented out like you showed above. | 00:22 |
| Slade^^ | im gonna ask u some thing... | 00:22 |
| usser | magnus_, u dont have to its just that u're fstab entry was invalid fix it and u can omit mount point | 00:22 |
| Slade^^ | i have ubuntu 7.10 ... and how to upgrade to latest version ??? | 00:23 |
| bazhang_ | !upgrade | Slade^^ | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Slade^^: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:23 |
| Siph0n | should someone upgrade that !server command to say the current lts is 8.04 ? :) | 00:23 |
| m13 | IGORV: check on their site for info | 00:23 |
| magnus_ | usser: yea ive fixed fstab now so it should work.. have to reboot i guess.. | 00:23 |

| magnus_ | usser: it worked | 00:24 |
| harpreet | after installing restricted packages for java my java still doesnt work, ? | 00:24 |
| obf213 | how | 00:24 |
| usser | magnus_, nice but u might notice u cant create files or folders there | 00:24 |
| danbhfive | harpreet: ubuntu-restricted-extras breaks java | 00:24 |
| raulh | system > prefrences > keyboard | 00:25 |
| esotericisms | Does anyone know of an application that actively monitors for file/folder changes, then uploads them to a server | 00:25 |
| obf213 | cantfindenterkey | 00:25 |
| danbhfive | harpreet: its a new feature of hardy :P | 00:25 |
| usser | esotericisms, something like rsync? | 00:25 |
| magnus_ | usser: thats right.. how is that? its defaults setting i should have rw permissions :/ | 00:25 |
| Killeroid | esotericisms: rsync | 00:25 |
| harpreet | danbhfive i didnt undersand | 00:25 |
| usser | magnus_, by default root gets ownership | 00:25 |
| obf213 | cantusesudo | 00:25 |
| usser | magnus_, do sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /media/Media | 00:26 |
| esotericisms | last time I checked it doesn't actively monitor a folder does it? | 00:26 |
| bazhang_ | obf213, that has nothing to do with keyboard | 00:26 |
| raulh | obf go to system > prefrences > keyboard | 00:26 |
| danbhfive | harpreet: maybe I misunderstood you. You oughta explain exactly what you did | 00:26 |
| usser | esotericisms, so setup a cronjob to run every two minutes rsync is smart enough not to upload the whole thing | 00:26 |
| raulh | the layout tab | 00:26 |
| magnus_ | usser: whoami is my name right? :) | 00:26 |
| raulh | make sure its correct | 00:26 |
| obf213 | bazhabg.sudodpkgreconfigurerequirespassword] | 00:26 |
| usser | magnus_, u can just copy/paste the command | 00:27 |
| raulh | what..... | 00:27 |
| usser | magnus_, but yes whoami is your username | 00:27 |
| esotericisms | usser: yeah I was hoping to avoid a cron job, I do my programming on my laptop and I just want changes as they are saved to be synced :) | 00:27 |
| magnus_ | usser: done | 00:27 |
| obf213 | its.correct.] | 00:27 |
| usser | esotericisms, how about NFS share? | 00:27 |
| navetz | can someone help me with samba, I am trying to connect to my brothers computer (windows vista) and its asking for a username and password, the thing is he doesn't have a username and password. | 00:27 |
| harpreet | danbhfive i am trying to make my java work for mozilla, applet does not load for yahoo games, i did everything, even installed java restricted packages under package manager still no luck | 00:27 |
| bazhang_ | obf213, create a new user and see if the problem persists; also try booting from the live cd as it may be a hardware issue | 00:27 |
| raulh | well... what seems to be exacly wrong obf? | 00:27 |
| usser | esotericisms, mount the share to your /home and bam | 00:27 |
| usser | esotericisms, everything u do saves to the server | 00:28 |

| mhz128 | Hello World! | 00:28 |
| magnus_ | usser: i still cant write to /media/Media ... :/ | 00:28 |
| mhz128 | What is the most popular VM software for Ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| bazhang_ | !best | mhz128 | 00:28 |
| ubottu | mhz128: 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. | 00:28 |
| usser | magnus_, do ls -l /media/Media what does it say? | 00:28 |
| danbhfive | harpreet: unfortunately, you still arent saying what you did. You are still speaking generally. Maybe I'm just ignorant, because I have never heard of a java restricted package. There is icedtea, and sun-java, but what did you do? | 00:29 |
| pen | mhz128, well, go to add/remove and type VM and see... | 00:29 |
| usser | mhz128, VirtualBox is pretty easy to setup | 00:29 |
| obf213 | it.was,.working.until.i,tried.to,change.nmonitor,.settings | 00:29 |
| mhz128 | cool | 00:29 |
| pen | danbhfive, i think what he means is Sun java 6 | 00:29 |
| bazhang_ | obf213, sounds bad; create a new user or boot from live cd | 00:29 |
| raulh | try to go back to default monitor settings | 00:29 |
| magnus_ | usser: i am the owner of Media now it say... | 00:29 |

| [GUN]Wires | im trying to use a website that has a part that requires the windows media player plugin | 00:40 |
| zelrikriando | usser, that doesnt make is default | 00:40 |
| [GUN]Wires | but I can't install due to not having windows | 00:40 |
| [GUN]Wires | any idea? | 00:40 |
| Scunizi | zelrikriando: open the gif then save it in Gimp's format.. now go up to Filters/Animation/playback.. it will open a window that you can toggel through the layers "playing" back the gif. Use the spacebar to toggle | 00:40 |
| usser | zelrikriando, actually my bad right click->properties -> open with lets u select default for a certain type of file | 00:40 |

| Ectomorph | ok | 00:42 |
| === CaptainPanda is now known as CaptainPanda|afk | ||
| usser | [GUN]Wires, or get rid of totem altogether and sudo apt-get install gnome-mplayer mozilla-mplayer | 00:42 |

| bazhang_ | obf214, also if there is no enter key you could not enter your typing in here-->try booting from live cd, and then borrow a kb from someone as it sounds like a hardware issue | 00:42 |
| Ectomorph | i did try selecting the share option (right click on drive) but it tells me i need to login as root | 00:42 |
| usser | [GUN]Wires, oh that may be harder looks like they use some windows specific plugin | 00:42 |
| raulh | then login D: | 00:42 |
| zelrikriando | thanks Scunizi | 00:42 |
| raulh | it should prompt you with a password request | 00:42 |

| raulh | you NEED a password ubuntu wont let you install without one | 00:43 |
| usser | [GUN]Wires, im afraid wine is not a solution for this type of problem, why do u want to pay for internet radio anyway? | 00:43 |
| woli | i have a screenlet (py script) that will display the percentage of used cpu. Now, this has stopped working, for it displays 99% all the time while the system monitor displays the real usage... What can be wrong? | 00:43 |

| * usser kde4=awesome | 00:55 | |

| Scunizi | Chrysalis: it also creates it's own database of the photos .. i guess it's easier to do if they're all in one primary directory. It also takes the imported photos and puts them into directories under the primary by year, month & date.. | 00:57 |

| grobda24 | Flagtor ... usually "sh <filename>", or "./<filename>" on the comand line, or there might be some Ubuntu specific way I don't know about. | 00:59 |
| Chrysalis | Scunizi: ffs, if you have photos they are already organized on your hd, who puts all photos in a single directory needing a program to sort them for you | 00:59 |
| Flagtor | ok | 00:59 |
| usser | [GUN]Wires, no dont. why? | 00:59 |

| usser | [GUN]Wires, xmms is just way to old, if u want u can have something like it by entering sudo apt-get install audacious on the terminal | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | Chrysalis: depends on your point of view.. easier to find things by date if you remember.. you can also tag photos on import or after. that makes it easier to view a select group of pics. For other viewing programs try Mapivi & gthumb | 01:00 |
| usser | [GUN]Wires, u dont need xmms | 01:00 |
| [GUN]Wires | it sends me to the download page when i try to listen | 01:00 |
| Flagtor | sigh linux is so complicated -.- | 01:01 |

| fde | [GUN]Wires: If it would play in XMMS, it will play elsewhere. | 01:04 |

| spiderfire | usser: like mc | 01:05 |
| [GUN]Wires | or do I need to google it? | 01:05 |
| fde | [GUN]Wires: No it doesn't... it needs WMP codecs... provided by gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg | 01:05 |

| Frenzi | Chaelvin .... the INT13 (LBA mode) stuff on the SCSI adaptor was hokey. I had to upgrade the firmware on the adaptor. As a test, I turned off INT13 in the adaptor configuration, and the GRUB loader tried to work | 01:27 |

| kex | brandon__: cd / && sudo mkdir folder_name | 01:31 |
| fde | Thingus: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution ... not there? | 01:31 |
| PorkSoda | So any one having problems with the hardy upgrade? | 01:31 |
| RequinB5 | fde BCM43: Yeah, recovery mode might help (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/nvidia-nv17-geforce-4-440-go-64-maximum-resolution-312349/ is the only problem i could find with his card). When you boot, hit escape when it says GRUB and choose the second option. Then when it prompts you, do control-D. | 01:31 |
| Andrew_Barber | PorkSoda: resolutions issues | 01:31 |
| fde | !anyone | PorkSoda | 01:31 |
| ubottu | PorkSoda: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:31 |
| kex | alan_m: now i can watch youtube during the reinstallation of my gentoo desktop : D | 01:31 |
| Thingus | fde, The highest option there is 1024x786 | 01:31 |

| Scunizi | PorkSoda: might be easier to have a separate /home and do a fresh install. | 01:32 |

| PorkSoda | I want to be prepared for any problems people may be having | 01:32 |
| takao | anyone knows a GUI for nmap? | 01:32 |
| Thingus | Andrew_Barber, I don't have another card to try. | 01:32 |
| fde | PorkSoda: No it's not... it's how to fix some issue you're encountering. | 01:32 |
| PorkSoda | So, | 01:32 |
| emma | Scunizi: But someone won't likely have a separate home partition unless they set that up on a previous install. | 01:32 |
| Andrew_Barber | Thingus: i bought 2 | 01:32 |
| PorkSoda | !thanks | fde | 01:32 |
| ubottu | fde: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 01:32 |
| Thingus | I thought nvidia didn't have these kind of problems... >< | 01:32 |
| ariqs | when I go to shutdown in ubuntu, it never shuts down. it just sits there at a black screen. When I go to reboot, it works fine. Why would reboot work and not shutdown? | 01:32 |
| Andrew_Barber | Thingus: but the only problem is that it's touching my tuner card in the case | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | emma, true.. but you can make one and copy you stuff over before upgrading.. | 01:33 |
| Simonft | RequinB5: fde: it is simon | 01:33 |
| Andrew_Barber | does anyone know if that will cause any problems? | 01:33 |
| Simonft | RequinB5: fde: i mean BCM43 | 01:33 |

| lvella | I am trying to install ubuntu on a partition with home.bak and etc.bak directories, containing my data from an old installation, but the installer says that directories containing system files will be deleted. I already deleted the system files directories. Will my data be safe? | 01:34 |

| Scunizi | PiojooAzul: to run a terminal try ctrl+alt+f2 instead of just alt+f2 | 01:35 |
| lvella | can an existing partition be resized so another will fit in the disk? | 01:35 |
| RequinB5 | PiojooAzul: start on the bottom | 01:35 |

| philsf | where does evolution store pim data? Deleting .evolution does not clear them | 01:36 |
| Scunizi | lvella: if you only have 3 partitions or less.. yes.. if you have a total of 4 primary partitions no. | 01:36 |
| Simonft | fde: it was on wireless, i just plugged wired in | 01:36 |
| lvella | via the installer? how? | 01:36 |
| Simonft | fde: it works now | 01:36 |
| lvella | it is a xfs partition | 01:36 |

| RequinB5 | Sorry this is offtopic, but can someone quickly tell me what channel winehq discussion is in | 01:37 |
| alan_m | #winehq probably RequinB5 | 01:37 |
| PiojooAzul | RequinB5: #winehq | 01:37 |
| RequinB5 | thx | 01:37 |
| Scunizi | lvella: you can only have 4 primary partitions on one drive.. if you need more one of the 4 has to be an extended partition and then more can be created in the extended portion.. gparted live cd will do the work for you. | 01:37 |
| fde | Simonft: You copy and pasted lspci on paste.ubuntu.com? You need to copy and paste the URL and paste it here :P | 01:38 |
| fde | Simonft: you're gonna get good at that ;) | 01:38 |
| Simonft | fde: i did not yet, i cant figure out how to go to a website address!!! | 01:38 |
| alan_m | fde, most of the users are experts of pastebin by the time they get outta here :) | 01:38 |
| bmk789 | how do i figure out what process is causing "device or resource busy" when i try to umount my external drive? | 01:38 |
| fde | BCM43: type screen.... then run the command and type 'ctrl + a then hit esc' go to the beginning and hit space... go to the end, hit space... then type 'sudo aptitude install lynx' and go to the site, then hit 'ctrl + a then hit ] to paste | 01:39 |
| fde | alan_m: not via cli | 01:39 |
| Scunizi | bmk789: sounds like you have a file open | 01:39 |
| Lynet | lvella: Boot to the livecd and run gparted. Resizing/moving partitions can shoot you in the foot though unless you know what you're doing so backup first is recommended. | 01:39 |
| Simonft | fde: how do i go to the site? | 01:39 |
| fde | Simonft: that's the lynx part :) | 01:39 |
| Rayvis | Is there a task manager in ubuntu? I can't open firefox because it says it's already running and not responding. It says to close it to open a new one and I don't know how to close it. | 01:39 |

| pdub | hi guys im extremely new to ubuntu.. ive used the sudo command in a few given areas but i have some questions if you guys could answer :) | 01:40 |
| ShinjinAkage | I'm having some troubles with Firefox, It won't call picasa when I click a picasa link to download. It has all the handlers in the about:config and there right. I looked it up to make sure. And I have the same location I have to make it look for the application launcher but it won't launch. Is it because of program permissions? | 01:40 |
| Simonft | fde: ah | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | Simonft: you can also try elinks .. I find it easier than lynx | 01:40 |
| lvella | Scunizi, but I am worried about the data already in the partition, if I shrink a XFS partition, the data will be preserved? I only have 2 partitions on the disk. | 01:40 |
| bmk789 | Scunizi: figured it out, turned out a machine was ssh'd in the drives mountpoint | 01:40 |
| PiojooAzul | RequinB5: sorry, but the real problem is that i just can't run a terminal, alt+f2 doesn't open the "run" dialog, and ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't work... i just don't know what to do... | 01:40 |
| RequinB5 | !ask | pdub | 01:40 |
| ubottu | pdub: 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. :-) | 01:40 |
| RequinB5 | !sudo | pdub | 01:40 |
| ubottu | pdub: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | lvella: I don't know what will happen when shrinking xfs partitions.. backup is recommended. | 01:41 |
| RequinB5 | PiojooAzul - Can you run the commands in recovery mode? | 01:41 |
| pdub | right now i have XP and Ubuntu installed in a dual boot area.. how do i go about mounting the windows xp partition to copy some files to the ubuntu instance? | 01:41 |
| Scunizi | lvella: or if you have an old drive you can put into the machine you can copy you're data there. | 01:41 |
| Simonft | fde: im trying to copy the error | 01:41 |
| linkinxp | im having problems in installing the intel 945 drivers when i choose them and i restart everything its messed up! | 01:41 |
| RequinB5 | pdub - places - computer, and mount the partition (my vista partition has a weird alphanumeric string for a name) | 01:41 |
| lvella | I have an old drive, but the data does not fit there | 01:42 |
| RequinB5 | pdub - right click, mount | 01:42 |
| fde | Simonft: Don't worry about it... install links2 instead (or elinks) | 01:42 |
| Scunizi | linkinxp: ctrl+alt+f2.. login there.. sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure that intel is the driver listed. | 01:42 |
| lvella | I think I'll install ubuntu on the old one, and mount the other as home | 01:42 |
| fde | Simonft: Or you mean the error from 'lspci' ? | 01:42 |
| linkinxp | Scunizi, its not cause i had to go back to vesa | 01:42 |
| Simonft | fde: i installed it, but i mean the error from lspci | 01:43 |
| linkinxp | Scunizi, it made my video crash | 01:43 |
| Scunizi | lvella: that'll work.. you can name it the /home on install .. just don't format it. | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fde Can you try something for me... sudo apt-get install pastebinit && lspci > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fde Looking to confirm that works right.. | 01:43 |
| lvella | ok, thanks | 01:43 |
| Lynet | lvella: oh, wait.. gparted doesn't support shrinking of xfs so backup, repartition, restore is probably the way to go. | 01:43 |
| Scunizi | linkinxp: ah.. ok.. my 2 cents didn't mean much sorry. | 01:43 |
| fde | Jack_Sparrow: haha... I filed that bug :P | 01:43 |
| linkinxp | Scunizi, ajajajaa :( | 01:43 |
| PiojooAzul | RequinB5: when i start the recovery mode, after a while it shows me a menu where i can choose to continue running normally, or some other options i can't remember now... and when i continue running normally, it starts without the panels... (sorry 4 my bad english) | 01:43 |
| Simonft | fde: how do i copy it? | 01:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | fde does that not work on a hardy box | 01:44 |

| ticky_ | sorry. somethign wrong was going on with chatzilla. here i go again with my question. | 01:44 |
| RequinB5 | PiojooAzul - what language do you speak? And type in your password at that prompt will give you a root shell. Control+D will create the problems you describe. | 01:44 |
| jeremy_ | to be more specific an Intel C2D E6300 - will it run ubuntu amd64 w/o a prob? | 01:45 |
| Swish | jeremy_, "amd64" can be used on any 64bit CPU, including AMDs or Intels | 01:45 |
| jeremy_ | Swish: it's intel em64t, isnt that "virtual" 64bit? | 01:45 |

| fde | Jack_Sparrow: Good point... | 01:45 |
| jeremy_ | thanks - the amd64 packages don't break like they used to, do they? i remember trying it ages ago (maybe in 7.x) and things broke a lot | 01:46 |
| pdub | RequinB5 - i went to places - computer.. but i only have cd-r /shareddocs on pdub / and Filesystem. The XP Partition is on the same drive as the Ubuntu partition.. how would i find the xp partition? | 01:46 |
| PiojooAzul | RequinB5: i speak spanish, but i hate the spanish channels, there's nobody there who can help me... you say Ctrl+D will create the problems? and how do i solve them? | 01:46 |
| superkuh | On 8.04, what is the actual font used when 'monospace' is selected? | 01:46 |
| Swish | jeremy, no idea bud, I'm going to try installing an amd64 setup soon as well | 01:46 |

| Lynet | jeremy_: the advantage of 32bit is that it is less hassle to get 32bit-only software to work. the advantage of 64bit is that you can go beyond 3-4gb. | 01:49 |
| Simonft | fde: do you know how to paste? | 01:49 |
| jeremy_ | Lynet: if i have 2gb of ram, should i just go with i386? i dont really care, i just wanna get the best experience | 01:49 |
| Swish | Lynet, what happens if one has 4GB RAM and uses a 32bit kernel? will all the memory be able to be used by way of paging it in and out of the address space or what? | 01:49 |
| fde | Simonft: anyway.... we're going to do it the easy way... 'lspci > somefile && cat somefile | pastebinit' | 01:50 |
| fde | Simonft: Still use screen to copy and paste though, it's handy to learn | 01:50 |
| Laurenceb | hi | 01:50 |
| Pavot | what's up, Laurenceb | 01:50 |
| Lynet | jeremy_: if you know you're not going beyond 3gb ram then i386 should be just fine. | 01:50 |
| emma | jeremy_: I have been told by reputable sources that if you do not have 4 GB of RAM or more you will not experience any better performance with 64 bit. | 01:50 |
| daemon3 | Okay, I installed just about every nonfree codec on the face of this earth. How do I convert m4p or m4a files to mp3? | 01:50 |

| jeremy_ | RequinB5: well, i run a large site and we pump a lot of mysql and httpd(apache2) traffic | 01:51 |
| Lynet | Swish: i'm not entirely sure how current kernels handle the virtual memory space. i know it gets rather crowded when going past 3gb physical ram though. | 01:51 |
| jeremy_ | so performance matters to the last detail for me | 01:51 |

| RequinB5 | jeremy_ - you know your box better than me. If you need the performance, as you say, go with 64, especially on a server where you probably aren't going to need Itunes and firefox :P. But i would do a few googles to see what problems you might face | 01:52 |

| RequinB5 | !gksudo | 01:53 |

| nickrud | vircuser if you need access to that little bit of memory, 64bit gives it. Otherwise, most apps won't run perceptibly faster | 02:13 |
| loner269 | what is ubuntu up to now? | 02:13 |
| Simonft | pen, please stop | 02:13 |
| fde | Simonft: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-generic ... that doesn't work, replace 17 with 16 and try again... if that doesn't work, I'm unfortunately out of ideas. | 02:13 |
| ish_nitti | loner269, to busy being AWESOME | 02:13 |
| yojesus | i can see a youtube video but i get no sound | 02:13 |
| loner269 | lol | 02:13 |
| yojesus | any help | 02:13 |
| Pavot | it has been said that any help is much appreciated! | 02:13 |
| jrib | Pavot: are you a bot? | 02:14 |
| Pavot | no idea, jrib | 02:14 |
| vircuser | lemme rephrase... make it simpler perhaps. Mobo sees 4G RAM, but due to memory hole, only 3.3G is visible in 64 bit Ubuntu. Will 64 bit "still" be a better choice than 32 bit? | 02:14 |
| loner269 | i ment what # thay on now | 02:14 |
| loner269 | lol | 02:14 |
| fde | yojesus: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-{bad,ugly} <-- copy and paste | 02:14 |
| Simonft | fde: does not work, does it matter that i am on a ppc? | 02:14 |
| pen | ? | 02:14 |
| pen | bot? | 02:14 |
| ish_nitti | loner269, 8.04 | 02:14 |
| raulh | thanks ubottu > bots own.. | 02:14 |
| fbc | vircuser, so? | 02:14 |
| loner269 | wow | 02:14 |
| Laurenceb | emma: http://pastebin.com/m752f49bd | 02:14 |
| loner269 | thay have been workin lol | 02:14 |
| nickrud | vircuser in that case, me personally I went back to 32bit when I moved on to hardy from gutsy. | 02:14 |
| turbo | whatfile do i edit in 8/04 to change interfaces? | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | loner269 It represents the release date.. | 02:15 |
| loner269 | i still got a drake around here lol | 02:15 |
| ish_nitti | loner269, you must have been in a cave | 02:15 |
| fde | Simonft: last try: linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 02:15 |
| nickrud | vircuser simplicity mainly | 02:15 |
| ptyo11 | anyone every run the cisco lwapp upgrade tool on the windows emulator? | 02:15 |
| fde | Simonft: fwiw, yes that was pretty relevant. | 02:15 |
| loner269 | not a cave lol | 02:15 |
| Simonft | fde: package or command | 02:15 |
| emma | Laurenceb: this is the line I was interested in: Option "XkbLayout" "gb" | 02:15 |
| loner269 | other linux ubuntu didnt like me when i had drake lol | 02:15 |
| fbc | vircuser, she can see the drive that is not the issue... only that every folder apprears an X over it and she cannot access the contents | 02:15 |
| emma | Laurenceb: fortunately/unfortunately that's what it should be for your keyboard so I am at a loss. | 02:15 |
| fde | Simonft: package.... | 02:15 |
| turbo | hi i am linux, once you figure out how to do something, i am going to deprecate everything and change it all around so it doesnt work, have a nice day! | 02:15 |
| Laurenceb | emma: ok... very odd | 02:16 |
| emma | Laurenceb: there are several talented people who seem to be active now that were not here earlier, please ask your question again so that they can hear it. | 02:16 |
| ish_nitti | turbo, please drive thru | 02:16 |
| Simonft | fde: nope | 02:16 |
| loner269 | lol | 02:16 |
| kindofabuzz | turbo: fail | 02:16 |
| Laurenceb | ok, I have a laptop - acer aspire 5101, the keyboard mapping is incorrect | 02:16 |
| ish_nitti | turbo, /etc/network/interfaces | 02:16 |
| Laurenceb | e.g hash key and at key | 02:16 |
| Laurenceb | at gives " | 02:16 |
| Laurenceb | hash gives \ | 02:17 |
| loner269 | ish_nitti: so how ya been | 02:17 |
| ish_nitti | loner269, good | 02:17 |
| ish_nitti | !question | Laurenceb | 02:17 |
| ubottu | Laurenceb: 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. :-) | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Laurenceb Sounds like gb keyboard | 02:17 |
| nickrud | Laurenceb have you tried checking system->prefs->keyboard, layouts tab: make sure you have the right keyboard selected | 02:17 |
| ticky_ | how do i use chown but with uid, instead of uname? | 02:17 |

| Simonft | Anybody here up for a chalenge? i can log into ubuntu via the graphical login, in fact nothing graphical will work at all. | 02:17 |

| fde | Simonft: aptitude search linux-restricted-modules return anything? | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raulh Excuse me but why do you say that.? | 02:18 |
| fde | ps, anyone know why COLUMNS= is ignored in gnome-terminal? | 02:18 |
| theFATMAN | is there a nes emulator for ubuntu? | 02:18 |

| fbc | How do I give my wife's account access to my second hard drive(movies,music videos)? I looked for a users group to add the folders to but there was none. | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hello loner269 | 02:19 |
| fde | yojesus: sudo aptitude install libflashplugin | 02:19 |
| Simonft | fde: yes, what you said exept instead of generic, powerpc | 02:19 |
| fde | yojesus: grrr... libflashsupport even | 02:20 |
| loner269 | back in a few | 02:20 |
| raulh | lol was a joke | 02:20 |
| fde | Simonft: Try that... -generic is x86 | 02:20 |
| nickrud | fbc is the device an ntfs drive? | 02:20 |
| DaveKong | Does anyone here use Dell Inspirion 5100? I have been having a lot of trouble connecting to the internet with it and maybe you would know why. | 02:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raulh Claims of racism are NEVER a joke.. | 02:20 |
| fbc | nickrud, ext3 | 02:20 |

| nickrud | Laurenceb is it set for usa layout? | 02:21 |
| raulh | yes they are | 02:21 |
| theFATMAN | !network manager | 02:21 |
| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 02:21 |
| raulh | you take them wrong :) | 02:21 |
| fbc | Jack_Sparrow, dont you think your being a little too radical. It jast as bad to do to the other extreme. | 02:21 |
| Simonft | does anybody know how to set up wireless in text based? | 02:21 |
| alan_m | !stop | raulh | 02:21 |
| ubottu | raulh: NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. | 02:21 |
| Laurenceb | nickrud: under acer laptop, only usa layout is possible | 02:21 |
| Starnestommy | Simonft: ifconfig and iwconfig | 02:21 |
| nickrud | fbc you can do something like chmod a+rw /mountpoint, to make it read/writable by all | 02:21 |
| `paul | how do i autostart my svnserve in ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| DaveKong | What about wired networking? | 02:21 |
| fde | Simonft: man interfaces then type /wlan | 02:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fbc It is something we do not tollerate from anyone and all claims are taken seriously | 02:22 |
| S4nD3r | I have inspiron 1525 | 02:22 |

| DaveKong | Ubottu: what about for a wired connection to a router? | 02:23 |
| ubottu | DaveKong: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:23 |

| fde | Simonft: uhh... /wireless even ... anyway man iwconfig looks simple en... it's up? | 02:23 |
| Laurenceb | in fact | 02:23 |
| DaveKong | Not a very smart one | 02:23 |
| fbc | Jack_Sparrow, Well, food for thought. The other extreme would be drag people out of their homes and shooting them for being racist. See, even a good thing history has shown can be taken to extremes. The holy(?) crusades. etc.etc. | 02:23 |
| Laurenceb | I cant seem to get UK to show up at all now | 02:24 |
| Simonft | fde: it is up, seems to be automatic | 02:24 |

| fde | theFATMAN: please message the bot | 02:25 |
| Simonft | fde: 16 was installed, so i just installed 17, i want to see what happens | 02:25 |
| theFATMAN | fde, yeah i was just thinking that | 02:25 |
| fde | Simonft: what does uname -r return? | 02:25 |
| fde | Simonft: If that says -17 ... then that is why nvidia broke. | 02:26 |
| alan_m | fbc, the discussion was stopped, I didnt mean you specifically. | 02:26 |
| Simonft | fde: hold on, restarting | 02:26 |
| WaxyFresh | Hi im having a problem loading frostwire: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/motif21/libmawt.so | 02:26 |
| Laurenceb | nickrud: thanks, I see the problem, not enough keys | 02:26 |
| Laurenceb | but trying 105 key keyboard doesnt help | 02:26 |
| storm-zen | Is it difficult to get Gutsy desktop to run without the desktop? | 02:27 |
| Hamled | is there a command that will tell me when an application is found using PATH, what location it was found in specifically? (like if I type firefox, it would tell me /usr/bin/firefox or /usr/local/bin/firefox or wherever it ended up finding it first?) | 02:27 |
| nickrud | Laurenceb what model acer? | 02:27 |
| storm-zen | Hamled: Try "which" | 02:27 |
| `paul | can i autorun a script as before login as a normal user (not root) | 02:27 |
| Laurenceb | aspire 5101 AWLMi | 02:28 |
| Hamled | storm-zen, awesome, thanks | 02:28 |
| storm-zen | Hamled: hth | 02:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | storm-zen You can remove ubuntu-desktop.. are you looking for cli only server type setup? | 02:28 |
| `paul | i mean the script should run as if run(d) by a normal user | 02:28 |
| S4nD3r | Oh... finger-print splash, until do not works | 02:28 |
| S4nD3r | what to do ?? | 02:28 |
| fde | storm-zen: nope... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ... voila... to make it permanent 'cat /bin/null | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager | 02:28 |
| storm-zen | Jack_Sparrow: Yes, but I want to keep the desktop on board in case it's needed later. I just want to drop it to a run-level 3, or the like. | 02:29 |
| S4nD3r | vga=791 is the problem, but I put off it, the screen becomes so big and strange to this splash | 02:29 |
| fbc | nickrud, That appears to have taken care of that problem. Many thanks. | 02:29 |
| Simonft | fde: a ton of stuff came up when i booted again, now it seems to be stuck at running local boot scripts | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | fde, Doesn't tee -a append, so that would appear to do nothing | 02:29 |
| WaxyFresh | Where do i go for support with forostwire? java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/motif21/libmawt.so | 02:29 |
| S4nD3r | what tto do ?? | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WaxyFresh How did you install frostwire | 02:30 |
| === The_JoKer is now known as SplinTer0616 | ||
| emma | WaxyFresh: I might be able to help you with this problem. | 02:30 |
| WaxyFresh | Jack_Sparrow: apt-get i think,possible a deb. | 02:30 |
| lvella | I just installed ubuntu on a xfs partition | 02:30 |
| WaxyFresh | emma: whats up? | 02:30 |
| Simonft | fde: it is rung 17 now, and that seems to have done somthing | 02:31 |
| fde | Jordan_U: It would act like foo >> bar which still works if it's empty... try 'cat hey | sudo tee -a test' | 02:31 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: I don't think so. Most likely you got it as a .deb from the site and installed it with gdebi | 02:31 |
| kindofabuzz | WaxyFresh: frostwire does not work with openjdk, uninstall opensdk and install sun java and it will work | 02:31 |
| lvella | twice it warned me that I should use LILO, and none it gave me the option | 02:31 |
| kindofabuzz | well there may be a way to work but that the easy solution for me | 02:31 |
| storm-zen | Actually, I'd really like to make it as easy as switching run-levels to go from desktop to non-desktop... is that possible? | 02:31 |
| lvella | now I have a ubuntu partition 98% installed | 02:31 |
| Jordan_U | fde, I guess I just misunderstand what the goal was | 02:31 |
| emma | WaxyFresh -- Are you using Hardy ? | 02:32 |
| WaxyFresh | sudo apt-get install opensdk | 02:32 |
| WaxyFresh | ooops wrong window^ yes im on hardy | 02:32 |
| Bluesiberian | anyone know why i cant find bitchx apt? | 02:32 |
| kindofabuzz | WaxyFresh: frostwire does not work with opensdk, uninstall opensdk and install sun java and it will work | 02:32 |
| fde | Jordan_U: It is so you can pipe and redirect while working around sudo ... else you'd lose the perms when you tried | 02:32 |
| fbc | will there be any updates for virtualbox-ose?? since the update by virtual box has been useless. | 02:32 |
| emma | WaxyFresh - Okay to start with uninstall FrostWire | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | WaxyFresh, You shouldn't need the sdk to just run programs BTW :) | 02:32 |
| nickrud | Laurenceb I'm not sure what's going on there. With the new X, I haven't tracked down where all this stuff is configured at yet | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | Bluesiberian: it's not in 8.04's repositories | 02:33 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: let me know when you have done that. | 02:33 |
| fde | Simonft: Does it appear to be going better? GUI? | 02:33 |
| TAiNiUM | I'd like a server that has IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV tightly integrated and also has some sort of web interface. Any recommendations? | 02:33 |
| Laurenceb | nickrud: new X ? | 02:33 |
| emma | nickrud: I looked at this xorg.conf and the layout was set on gb as it should be for his. | 02:33 |
| lvella | If I chroot to the new instalation, and install lilo, will it work or there are some things the installer let to be done after installing GRUB? | 02:33 |
| Bluesiberian | and if i try to do it the reg way i get configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent | 02:33 |
| Jordan_U | fde, I know what tee is used for, I know what tee -a does, what I didn't understand was what you were trying to accomplish with 'cat /bin/null | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager' | 02:33 |
| Bluesiberian | what can i do? | 02:33 |
| Simonft | fde: no gui yes, but im am messing around with what i can do. | 02:33 |
| danbhfive | my network is randomly freezing? any suggestions to debug? | 02:34 |
| emma | nickrud: this is Laurenceb 's xorg.conf -- http://pastebin.com/m752f49bd | 02:34 |
| nickrud | Laurenceb the latest X does a lot of config stuff on the fly, used to be you had to put everything in xorg.conf | 02:34 |
| Laurenceb | right | 02:34 |
| Starnestommy | Bluesiberian: I think you need ncurses-dev | 02:34 |
| nickrud | emma Laurenceb I thought the point was to not have gb | 02:34 |
| Laurenceb | thanks for the help anyway :P | 02:34 |
| Laurenceb | oh | 02:34 |
| WaxyFresh | Jordan_U: java is not working in other places as well. I dont think this is a frostwire problem. | 02:35 |
| Starnestommy | Bluesiberian: you could also try irssi if you can't get bitchx to work | 02:35 |
| fde | Jordan_U: I see your point... fortunately it's probably not installed currently. | 02:35 |
| nickrud | that's what I get for assuming without asking for details | 02:35 |
| Laurenceb | well at on my keyboard is above ' | 02:35 |
| emma | nickrud: he lives in the UK and has a UK keyboard (as I understand it) his XkbLayout is set on gb also. | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | fde, Was that meant for someone else? | 02:35 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: have you uninstalled FrostWire yet? | 02:35 |
| lnar | help!!! i cant create the correct isolinux.cfg!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/14953/ | 02:35 |
| Laurenceb | I have < and > in two places :-/ | 02:35 |
| Laurenceb | this is confusing | 02:36 |
| Bluesiberian | stares:i have ncurses5 installed | 02:36 |
| Starnestommy | Bluesiberian: but do you have the -dev package for it? | 02:36 |
| timandtom | I just did "fdisk /dev/sdb", then "Command (m for help): p", and it returned the normal info, as well as "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." Is there anything wrong with that? | 02:36 |
| fde | Jordan_U: mis-worded... that file isn't created by default so it is irrelevant that I used -a probably is what i mean to state. | 02:36 |
| WaxyFresh | emma: its being removed,what now? | 02:36 |
| Bluesiberian | starnest: where do i get it? | 02:37 |
| kindofabuzz | WaxyFresh: even more reason to uninstall opensdk and install sun java | 02:37 |
| Starnestommy | Bluesiberian: sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev | 02:37 |
| tat_ | i havn`t been using ubuntu or debian for some time, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 on an amd athlo 64, would lik to get optimized kernle package for amd64, but i cant find any in the repository all off them are just dummypackaes marked for removal | 02:37 |
| fde | Jordan_U: It is used by debconf if gdm and kdm or any others are installed at the same time.... | 02:37 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: After you have removed it, then: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 02:37 |
| nickrud | Laurenceb that may be a bug, but I'm not familiar enough with xkb to say | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Laurenceb Are you sure you are not setup for uk keyboard? | 02:37 |
| WaxyFresh | kindofabuzz: i think i have sun | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | fde, Ahh, you were not trying to zero the file but rather create it, 'touch' is usually used for that purpose | 02:37 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: then let me know when you have done that. | 02:37 |
| lvella | where do I report installation bugs? | 02:37 |
| WaxyFresh | sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 02:37 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: a couple of steps after that. | 02:37 |
| Laurenceb | I'll try something other than UK keyboard | 02:38 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: yes that's what I just said. | 02:38 |
| nickrud | tat- the generic kernel sets itself for the kernel on the fly, wonderful magic | 02:38 |
| Bluesiberian | starn: i found ncurses-term installing that | 02:38 |
| nickrud | tat- erm, replace second kernel with cpu in my last | 02:38 |
| fde | Jordan_U: Pipping into an empty file works fine... I'm having it use /bin/null rather than gdm so it does nothing.... come to think of it I think I meant /bin/false though | 02:38 |
| fde | Jordan_U: Either way, same result. | 02:38 |
| kindofabuzz | WaxyFresh: it's in the repos | 02:38 |

| Laurenceb | and changing to US amkes no difference | 02:39 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: where are we at? Did you remove FrostWire and do the sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk ? | 02:39 |
| will00 | how do i test the connection to the mysqlserver? | 02:39 |
| DaveKong | Are laptops in general a real pain to run ubuntu on? | 02:39 |
| Bluesiberian | starn: same configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent | 02:39 |
| WaxyFresh | emma: 23% at 128kbs a sec. shouldent be long | 02:39 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: okay. | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Laurenceb Are you restarting x after you set it to us keyboard? | 02:40 |
| Starnestommy | Bluesiberian: try installing libncurses5-dev | 02:40 |
| nickrud | will00 you can use mysql -uroot -p<password> | 02:40 |
| fbc | virtualbox stoped working after the kernel update. How long before a new vbox-driver for the new kernel comes out? | 02:40 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: and you removed the FrostWire you previously had installed? | 02:40 |
| Laurenceb | Jack : no | 02:40 |
| tat_ | and how do i get nvidia working under 8.04 i installed kerneel modules with module-assistant, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf is an allmost empty file with no real configuration ? | 02:40 |
| fde | Jordan_U: I simply wanted to put that line into a file without having to use an editor or sudo -i .... | 02:40 |
| fde | Jordan_U: That is the correct way to do that | 02:40 |
| Laurenceb | how do I restart X ? | 02:40 |
| Simonft | fde: installed 17, then did sudo restart now, which for some reason gave me a strange menu where one of the options was fix broken packages, so i said, what the heck, why not, then hit that, and it fixed stuff, then the same menu came back, and one of the options was resume normal boot, so i did that, and it showed a ton of stuff that took a long time, but now i see my login screen | 02:41 |
| nickrud | tat_ why not just use the nvidia provided with ubuntu, I think it's still the latest version | 02:41 |
| Starnestommy | Laurenceb: ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:41 |
| fde | Laurenceb: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 02:41 |
| will00 | nickrud: when i get the "mysql>" i know it connected right? | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Laurenceb log out and back in or ctrl-alt-backspace | 02:41 |
| nickrud | will00 yep | 02:41 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: let me know when your terminal is ready for the next step | 02:41 |
| Simonft | fde: i just realized how long that sentence was. | 02:41 |
| will00 | nickrud: then why cant mythbuntu do the same thing? | 02:41 |
| tat_ | nickrud, : is that an dpkg package ? | 02:41 |
| nickrud | will00 ah, now that's probably because mythtv doesn't have a proper user/password assigned/set | 02:42 |
| ripps | I think I broke my pulseaudio. I tried to install the glitch-free branch from trunk using svn, but it just killed pulseaudio instead. After the new kernel release for ubuntu (supposed to fix some problems with pulseaudio) I wanted to try over again, but even after using purging and reinstalling pulseaudio from apt, I still can't get it to work | 02:42 |
| will00 | ok | 02:42 |
| hexoroid | i reinstalled ubuntu now it says no connection any clues ? | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | fde, Ahh, then you meant 'echo' rather than cat, the command you gave added 'nothing' to the end of the file :) | 02:42 |
| tarelerulz | What is good video editor should be able to edit the video and sound of the ogg project ? | 02:42 |
| Bluesiberian | starn: found libncurses-ruby | 02:42 |
| nickrud | tat_ yes, if you go to system->admin->hardware drivers, it'll install them for you | 02:42 |
| fde | Simonft: haha... well I'm glad it worked... next time state arch MUCH quicker... Ubuntu is dropping PPC, so I didn't even think to ask about it. (well no, it's going to ports, which you did state, it just didn't register) | 02:42 |
| Jaikkuli | what does the archive manager think about data that has been split into numerous rar files? | 02:42 |
| jrib | Jaikkuli: extract the first one, it takes care of it | 02:43 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: ? | 02:43 |
| Jaikkuli | jrib: oh, wow cool | 02:43 |
| Simonft | fde: thank you so much, but one more thing. while tring to fix it, i switch graphical manger to gnome, how do i change it back to kde? | 02:43 |
| Bluesiberian | starn: lol same error anything else? | 02:43 |
| fde | Jordan_U: Ahh... doh... in my defense, I've been awake since about 6pm yesterday (6:43pm now) ... and I've been in here since 10am ish, without much breaks. | 02:43 |
| fde | Simonft: You mean the login? | 02:44 |
| Simonft | fde: how much you get paid? | 02:44 |
| Simonft | fde: yes | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | fde, :) | 02:44 |
| fde | Simonft: the correct way: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 02:44 |
| SeaPhor | Simonft, the ppl helping here volunteer their time | 02:45 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: are you still with us? There is more that you have to do to get it working. | 02:45 |
| SpookyET | hi | 02:45 |
| SpookyET | How do you use radeonfb? I can't get it to work. The syntax is incorect in modprobe.conf? I tried "options radeonfb 1680x1050-32@60" and "options radeonfb mode=1680x1050-32@60". It says incorrect syntax. | 02:45 |
| ripps | I think I broke my pulseaudio. I tried to install the glitch-free branch from trunk using svn, but it just killed pulseaudio instead. After the new kernel release for ubuntu (supposed to fix some problems with pulseaudio) I wanted to try over again, but even after using purging and reinstalling pulseaudio from apt, I still can't get it to work | 02:45 |
| Simonft | SeaPhor: i know, im joking, you should have seen his previous messege | 02:45 |
| fde | Simonft: If that doesn't ask though... 'echo /usr/sbin/kdm | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager | 02:46 |
| fde | ' | 02:46 |
| SeaPhor | Simonft, i did ;-) thought you didn't, lol | 02:46 |
| fde | (that's the location of gdm at least... which kdm to be sure) | 02:46 |
| Simonft | fde: the fist one works, thank you so much. | 02:46 |

| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:48 |
| Laurenceb | hi all | 02:48 |
| Laurenceb | ok, it worked ok in the terminal | 02:48 |
| emma | WaxyFresh, I'm not sure where you went. We were not done. After you have (1) Removed FrostWire. (2) sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk then you have to (3) sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun and finally (4) Download Frostwire from here: http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads | 02:48 |
| Sepero | I need the UbuntuStudio /etc/sources.list file. Looking for help. | 02:48 |
| DaveKong | The thought crossed my mind. | 02:48 |
| fde | Sepero: Umm... it's EXACTLY the same as Ubuntu's | 02:49 |
| nickrud | DaveKong http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ | 02:49 |
| fde | Sepero: aptitude search ubuntustudio | 02:49 |
| Laurenceb | if I type in tty2 its all fine | 02:49 |
| Sepero | fde: What happened to archive.ubuntustudio.org? | 02:50 |
| Laurenceb | oh well thanks for the help | 02:50 |
| Laurenceb | I need to sleep | 02:50 |
| emma | Laurenceb: but now if you type some place else? | 02:50 |
| Laurenceb | its the same as before | 02:50 |
| emma | hm. | 02:50 |
| fde | Sepero: No idea... | 02:50 |
| Laurenceb | seems to be a problem in X | 02:50 |
| DaveKong | thanks nickrud | 02:50 |
| Laurenceb | oh well I can always relable the keyboard | 02:51 |
| fde | Sepero: I guess when you can use a millionaires resources, it's not favorable to use your own. | 02:51 |
| nickrud | DaveKong that one seems a bit dry, I googled usb linux connect two machines , there are more links there | 02:51 |
| Laurenceb | I need to sleep, cya all, thanx for the help anyway | 02:51 |
| Sepero | fde: Thanks for the help. I'll check it out. :-) | 02:52 |
| SeaPhor | fde: if someone booted off live cd and all was ok, then they installed Ubuntu, and then tried to install their Nvidia drivers or ATI, instead of the restricted drivers, and now they get the "low-res" problem, is it a valid fix to just have them boot off the live cd, and do a sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot? | 02:52 |
| nickrud | DaveKong and it turns out it wasn't such a joke, using the wrong cable does blow up the machines ;) | 02:52 |
| afallenhope | anyone know... if I patched my driver in the old kernel if the new kernel would have the previous patched driver or do I have to repatch it/ | 02:53 |
| Sepero | SeaPhor: In most cases that will work. | 02:53 |
| Makuseru | hi, im having a problem burning a VCD, i had an AVI, converted it to a MPEG so K3B could make a VCD, burnt the cd, and everything went fine, but when i try to play the CD i get no sound. i double checked the MPEG, and there IS sound on it, but it gets lost somehow when i burn it. anyone know whats causing this and how i can fix it? | 02:53 |
| ripps | I need help reinstalling pulseaudio | 02:53 |
| fde | SeaPhor: They should completely remove the other drivers, and use Ubuntu's. | 02:53 |
| deea | HI all. I'm searching for a non-free packages working repository. particularly w32codecs packages is of interest. I've googled for repositories, none that I've found works anymore. | 02:53 |
| nickrud | SeaPhor sudo update-alternatives --config xserver-xorg on the affected machine will get them a default display again, then they can go about removing the tainted drivers | 02:54 |
| fde | SeaPhor: The xorg.conf's won't differ, the driver name is the same. | 02:54 |
| SeaPhor | fde: ok,,, thats what i will look at how to do | 02:54 |
| nickrud | !medibuntu | deea should still be live | 02:54 |

| fde | etyrnal: basically add DefaultDepth 16 (8bit I think) to screen section. | 03:10 |
| usser | fde, i think its sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring now | 03:10 |
| Jericom | How can I modify the keyboard shortcuts so I can bind the super key with other keys | 03:10 |
| deea | fde NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 03:10 |

| failure | and what if i have a cisco router doing dhcp, do i still need to install a dhcp server on my box? | 03:11 |
| nickrud | deea skip all this high level stuff, just get the w32codecs package directly using wget, and install them with dpkg. It's not like they have any dependency issues | 03:11 |
| kindofabuzz | emma and WaxyFresh: frostwire will not work with openjdk. you have to install sun's java for it to work. well had to on mine | 03:11 |
| failure | can somebody please pm me and explain to me a second a bit more about how it works? | 03:11 |
| fde | deea: sudo apt-get install -y medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 03:11 |
| deea | nickrud, finally ! | 03:11 |
| emma | kindofabuzz: We just did all that. | 03:11 |
| nickrud | deea I gave you a link on how to do that a while back ;) | 03:12 |
| kindofabuzz | emma: ok | 03:12 |
| m_newton | How do i install everything in mediubuntu??!!! | 03:12 |
| mneptok | WaxyFresh: if all you're after is Gnutella, install gtk-gnutella | 03:12 |
| etyrnal | fde, sorry - i'm just used to rtfm comments from people who assume i did not try on my own - so if i just add "-depth 4" at the end, that'll do'er ? | 03:12 |
| === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude|laptop | ||
| deea | nickrud, no I did import that gpg key :D | 03:12 |
| usser | m_newton, just follow their repository howto | 03:12 |
| nickrud | deea hahahha | 03:12 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: go to Applications > Internet > Frostwire | 03:12 |
| fde | etyrnal: If you don't want x to start on boot, sure. | 03:12 |
| etyrnal | fde, sigh | 03:12 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: this is assuming you did the four previous things and installed FrostWire it should be there in the menu. | 03:13 |
| deea | nickrud, what's about that key after all? | 03:13 |
| WaxyFresh | emma: i have not yet installed frostwire but i just checked to see if java was wokring in opera and its not. im downloaidn frostwire now. | 03:13 |
| etyrnal | fde, why wouldn't it start? | 03:13 |
| nickrud | deea if you have the key, now apt-get install should work fine (assuming you've added the repo line) | 03:13 |
| deea | nickrud, I mean is some sort of authentication or what? | 03:13 |
| mneptok | WaxyFresh: did you install the Sun plugin? did you then link the Sun Fx plugin to Opera? | 03:14 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: are you downloading it from the site I gave you a link to? | 03:14 |
| fde | etyrnal: How do you intend to enter that without it being in the config file? | 03:14 |
| nickrud | deea yes. The gpg key signs the repository, giving you some assurance that the packages are safe | 03:14 |
| deea | nickrud, I see. Thanks for everything. | 03:14 |
| deea | fde, thank you too | 03:14 |
| koko1710 | everyone is pro here | 03:14 |
| nickrud | deea gpg basically tells you that you are getting something from the person that owns the key | 03:15 |
| etyrnal | fde, sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- thrn just put it at the end of the file... | 03:15 |
| fde | etyrnal: DefaultDepth 4 added to Section "Screen" in that file would work. | 03:15 |
| navetz | on php.net it gives this as an example $font = imageloadfont("04b.gdf"); what file format is .gdf? | 03:15 |

| DrBanzai | Also, I've never ever used wireless under Linux before. | 03:16 |
| fde | deea: It would have gotten rid of the GPG key error... | 03:17 |
| mneptok | DrBanzai: use nm-applet | 03:17 |
| deea | fde, it did, just forgot to tell you. It's all fine now | 03:17 |
| fde | deea: :) | 03:17 |
| etyrnal | fde, that section has 3 lines - Identifier "Default Screen" ; Monitor "Configured Monitor" ; Device "Configured Video Device" -- an dthat's it | 03:17 |

| mneptok | DrBanzai: use nm-applet | 03:19 |
| DIL | what is the * nest to the messages | 03:19 |

| akatsuki | on 7.10 the FN bottom of my laptop use to work perfectly.. now with 8.04, im having problems.. why is this? | 03:20 |
| WaxyFresh | emma: whats wrong with the one i downloaded? | 03:20 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: that will use the GDebi package installer to install it for you. | 03:20 |
| DIL | next | 03:20 |
| fde | ipw3945 is module | 03:20 |
| usser | DrBanzai, intel should be supported out of the box are u running hardy? | 03:20 |

| DrBanzai | usser: Yes, Hardy...just installed it an hour ago | 03:20 |
| fde | usser: ahh, yes of course | 03:20 |
| afallenhope | anyone know... if I patched my driver in the old kernel if the new kernel would have the previous patched driver or do I have to repatch it/ | 03:20 |
| akatsuki | i cant even control the monitor brightest | 03:20 |

| afallenhope | fde: do you know where I can get the kernel source then? | 03:21 |
| mneptok | DrBanzai: do NOT use the GNOME network prefs settings | 03:21 |
| fde | akatsuki: You can file a bug and attach the patch, maybe it will be incorporated into Ubuntu packages. | 03:21 |
| mateus | can someone help me with some stupid problem? lol im trying to go from 5.1 to dapper | 03:22 |
| fde | afallenhope: linux-source-`uname -r` | 03:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mateus Upgrades must be done in order.. | 03:22 |
| jeremy_ | !question | mateus | 03:22 |
| ubottu | mateus: 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. :-) | 03:22 |
| fde | afallenhope: to limit confusion, actually 'linux-source-$(uname -r) | 03:22 |
| usser | mneptok, should still be listed in gnome-network | 03:22 |
| afallenhope | fde: Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.24-17-generic | 03:22 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: Have you done it? | 03:23 |
| mateus | ok thanks | 03:23 |
| etyrnal | fde, thanks - modified file - will be trying this later - i appreciate Your help | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mateus You would be better off getting a newer version | 03:23 |
| etyrnal | fde, have a great evening | 03:23 |
| fde | afallenhope: ahh... hmm... 'sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) I guess | 03:24 |
| WaxyFresh | emma: The task i was sent forth to preform nears completion. | 03:24 |
| fde | Same thing other distro's have done, I wasn't aware Ubuntu had too though. | 03:24 |
| fde | afallenhope: Actually, how do you mean you patched the kernel? You edited a module's source code, and applied it? | 03:25 |
| mateus | !question I'm trying to upgrade from 5.10 to "dapper". I got tired of Windows and found an old CD here.

| afallenhope | fde: I patched the module source for the b43 driver... | 03:25 |
| mneptok | mateus: like, maybe, 8.04 | 03:26 |
| emma | WaxyFresh: Assuming you began the instalation in the way I was mentioning there, then when it is finished, then go to Applications > Internet > FrostWire | 03:26 |
| mateus | Should i download it and burn a CD? | 03:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mateus yes | 03:26 |
| GOTFrogqc | hi other that the ubuntu documentation is there somewhere else to learn how to Linux, I find it hard to comprehend why I do thing, since basicaly all they say is do this and not really why Im doing it | 03:26 |
| tucuna | is there a Gnome alternative to Amarok+MySQL? | 03:26 |
| Makuseru | hi, im having a problem burning a VCD, i had an AVI, converted it to a MPEG so K3B could make a VCD, burnt the cd, and everything went fine, but when i try to play the CD i get no sound. i double checked the MPEG, and there IS sound on it, but it gets lost somehow when i burn it. anyone know whats causing this and how i can fix it? | 03:26 |
| fde | afallenhope: you probably only want linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 03:26 |
| mneptok | mateus: unless you can pschically channel .debs, then yes, that's the best idea. | 03:26 |
| mateus | Yeah, i kinda think itll be more easier than upgrading it alll over. | 03:26 |
| fde | afallenhope: You should definitely file a bug though and submit your patch if it is a fix. | 03:27 |
| cabrioleur | tucuna, a lot of it. mpd | 03:27 |
| cabrioleur | tucuna, rhythmbox, banshee, listen etc. | 03:27 |

| fde | afallenhope: then get to compiling the module ;D | 03:28 |
| cabrioleur | tucuna, mpd and, for instance, pympd | 03:28 |

| tritium | afallenhope: as long as you're running a newer one with no issues, it's safe to remove the old one | 04:13 |
| NickGarvey | WaxyFresh: not much | 04:13 |
| NickGarvey | WaxyFresh: could just try it by the way | 04:13 |
| akatsuki | SEAPHOR yes of course it is an issue there | 04:13 |

| pen | one day I accidentally shut down my computer in ubuntu while mounting my window partition, then I reboot and discovered that i can't mount window partition anymore it would give me a error saying that I the partition is been marked as being in use and can't be mounted, what should i do now to erase the mark | 04:14 |
| StevenX | Killeroid, it is not. but the files are not in that dir specifically, but in folders in that dir. So that command still works? | 04:14 |
| Killeroid | StevenX: no, rm doesnt step into each folder to find the files | 04:15 |
| pen | it told me to boot to windows to release the mark, but irontically, the partition is the primary window OS side-by-side with ubuntu | 04:15 |
| StevenX | Killeroid, so what command can i use to delete recursively? what does the -r flag do? | 04:15 |
| Starnestommy | StevenX: -r = recursive | 04:16 |
| NickGarvey | StevenX: careful with -r | 04:16 |

| SeaPhor | akatsuki, ok, now you know what to say in your question,,, fn-key not recognised in Ubuntu 8.04- no fn+* works! | 04:16 |
| StevenX | so it should step into the folders to delete files right? | 04:16 |
| StevenX | i don't know why it's not working | 04:16 |

| NickGarvey | StevenX: it might be aiming to delete the folders themselves | 04:16 |
| afallenhope | tritium: how would I remove it/ | 04:16 |
| NickGarvey | StevenX: let me try | 04:17 |
| Killeroid | StevenX: the -r flag recursively deletes folders, it doesnt step into the folders to delete individial files, it deletes whole folders | 04:17 |
| tritium | afallenhope: either from the command line, with apt-get remove <packagename>, or using synaptic | 04:17 |
| ticky | NickGarvey: back | 04:17 |
| StevenX | damn. well in that case i'm glad it didn't work. | 04:17 |

| ross_ | bash: xandr: doesn't work | 04:35 |
| mnk0 | ok im having a problem with cisco vpn client + rdesktop crashing my computer | 04:35 |
| legend2440 | jtaylor13: then save file | 04:36 |
| ross_ | mrdengue: it doesn't work | 04:36 |
| ticky | NickGarvey: `sudo mount /media/hd80` tells me "mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/543532a5-0a02-4c24-9895-b4617bb9cc6 does not exist", but `ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid|grep sda1` shows it there | 04:36 |
| rnartos | does the apt-get install lamp-server install necessary packages to run a LAMP server?? | 04:36 |
| mrdengue | ross_, like i said it was a typo it is xrandr not xandr | 04:36 |
| ross_ | mrdengi tried that | 04:36 |
| anirudh0 | [GUN]Wires, totem | 04:36 |
| jtaylor13 | legend2440:bingo it worked.but know it says i have 5 broken packages | 04:36 |
| Killeroid | [GUN]Wires: totem should work out of the box and play wma/wmv streams in the browser, i suspect xmradio has some kind javascript that checks to see if you are on windows and if you are not tells you to install wmp and prevents you from listening to the stream | 04:36 |
| twoshadetod | is there any game like 1943 for ubuntu? | 04:36 |
| anirudh0 | [GUN]Wires, the totem wmv plugin comes preinstalled | 04:36 |
| mrdengue | the you have to install it | 04:36 |
| mrdengue | then* | 04:36 |
| [GUN]Wires | bah | 04:36 |
| [GUN]Wires | thanks | 04:36 |
| twoshadetod | one where you fly a ship around and shoot stuff, and get weapon upgrades | 04:37 |
| rnartos | I wish to make a ubuntu server with LAMP setup | 04:37 |
| anirudh0 | mrdengue, xrandr comes with x itself , i think | 04:37 |
| NickGarvey | ticky: pastebin ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid please | 04:37 |
| legend2440 | jtaylor13: are the other 5 in that same file? and do they say half installed? | 04:37 |
| rnartos | does the apt-get install lamp-server install all necessary package to run a LAMP ubuntu server?? | 04:37 |
| NickGarvey | rnartos: yeah | 04:37 |
| m_newton | any one know how to get the repository key for AWN from launchpad ??? | 04:37 |
| jtaylor13 | legend2440:no it came up when i started synaptic manager. | 04:38 |
| mrdengue | anirudh0, it came with mine, yes...but ross_ gets an error trying it to run it | 04:38 |
| rnartos | NickGarvey: nothing more to do?? | 04:38 |
| anirudh0 | jtaylor13, sudo aptitude -f install might help | 04:38 |

| raistlinmaje7 | okay, somehow I manged to kill my main menu, the applications drop down is gone, but places and system still work | 04:38 |
| tritium | rnartos: no such package | 04:38 |
| legend2440 | jtaylor13: hit reload button in synaptic | 04:38 |
| raistlinmaje7 | alacarte now crashes on start up too | 04:38 |
| NickGarvey | ticky: you are missing a 6 on the end there :) | 04:38 |
| anirudh0 | jtaylor13, or in the worst case, "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 04:39 |
| mrdengue | in the beginning he was doing a xandr (thanks to me :P ) but now he seems to be running xrandr | 04:39 |
| linkinxp | why if the INTEL 945 drivers are installed it mess up the Xconf when i select them????? why its so annoying yo install this drivers??? | 04:39 |

| tom540 | Ok, I'll re-phrase. 8.04/compiz/emerald. If I have two active windows open, say xchat and firefox.. if Firefox is the active window, if I click anywhere in xchat's window.. it doesn't bring up xchat as the active window, it'll keep firefox up. If I click on xchat in the SYSTEM TRAY, it comes right up... any ideas?? or if I clikc on the title bar, it'll actually switch.. does anyone have any ideas? it's kind of annoying | 04:39 |

| [GUN]Wires | did anyone see my question above? | 05:02 |
| Starnestommy | [GUN]Wires: you need libuuid1 | 05:02 |
| Yachaziel | Can someone help me install a program? i do not understand the directions at all. | 05:02 |
| jrib | [GUN]Wires: why are you compiling gparted? It's in the repositories. Install it with your favorite package manager | 05:03 |
| [GUN]Wires | I know, where would I find that and where should it go? | 05:03 |
| Starnestommy | [GUN]Wires: but why are you trying to compile gparted? | 05:03 |
| [GUN]Wires | bah, I always forget about them | 05:03 |
| jrib | Yachaziel: you need to tell the channel the name of the program | 05:03 |
| FrozenInferno | why, when I stop X with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" does my system freeze at "initiating local boot scripts: rc.local"? I have exit 0 at the end of rc.local, so this makes no sense. | 05:03 |
| Starnestommy | Yachaziel: it depends on which program it is | 05:03 |

| dhamma | what's a command for checking if alsa is running on my system | 05:04 |
| raistlinmaje7 | FrozenInferno: you sometimes need to tell it to go to a tty, try hitting ctrl+alt+f4 | 05:04 |
| FrozenInferno | raistlinmaje7: after it freezes? | 05:04 |
| raistlinmaje7 | I mean, do you just get a screen with a bunch of lines that end with "running boot scripts /etc/rc.local" or something? | 05:05 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, nope..dunno why that is happening...but check out alacarte,and make sure the menu entries are checked | 05:05 |
| kerin_ | anirudh0: i may not know enough about what i'm looking at to take it from here. does that mean that the kernel is installed but grub still points to the old one or is it worse than that? | 05:05 |

| theFATMAN | sony walkman mp3 player is recognized as a portable hard drive, how do i determine if it's bootable? | 05:06 |
| anirudh0 | kerin_, sorry..no it means that the install of the new kernel failed | 05:06 |
| supersako | when installing files, where should these normally go into in Ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| Tomas_ | can i ask for some help | 05:06 |
| anirudh0 | kerin_, which is'nt bad at all because the old kernel was fine as well | 05:06 |

| Tomas_ | how do i install DVD playability on Ubuntu | 05:07 |
| raistlinmaje7 | you should get to a login prompt | 05:07 |

| supersako | thanks | 05:07 |
| raistlinmaje7 | dhamma: you still need to have the decoding lib don't you? | 05:07 |

| Rhorse | dhamma, try rebooting. If no workie, try typing alsactl /var/lib/alsa/asound.state | 05:09 |
| FrozenInferno | raistlinmaje7: so hit ctrl+alt+F4 when it says running local boot scripts, then do what? | 05:10 |
| raistlinmaje7 | anirudh0: the backtrace with alacarte crashes isn't terribly useful | 05:10 |
| raistlinmaje7 | FrozenInferno: what are you trying to accomplish? are you trying to restart X? or get to a terminal? | 05:10 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: i rebooted several times already | 05:10 |
| FrozenInferno | restart x | 05:10 |
| Rhorse | try alsactl /var/lib/alsa/asound.state | 05:11 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, did'nt get you..you mean alacarte is also crashing? | 05:11 |
| raistlinmaje7 | oh, just use control+alt+backspace | 05:11 |

| teej | Hi all | 05:13 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: i cut and paste the line and got an 'unknown command' error message | 05:13 |
| waudette | anirudh0: just tried that per your suggestion earlier... | 05:13 |
| anirudh0 | how do i get a lost of all available factoids? | 05:13 |
| naudiz | so dmesg doesn't log all of 'upstart' bootup ? For instance it doesn't log udevd ? | 05:13 |
| waudette | It didn't seem to help. | 05:13 |
| FWP-` | confidential | 05:13 |
| raistlinmaje7 | anirudh0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14977/ | 05:13 |

| teej | Does anyone know what the earliest version is that supports the rtl8187 driver for Relatek wireless, or point me to somewhere I can find out? Cheers guys :) | 05:13 |
| anirudh0 | waudette, nope...thats the most basic thing that can be done..i think... | 05:13 |
| teej | *Realtek | 05:13 |
| timandtom | scorch_, asking faster doesn't mean you'll get a response faster. Wait till it scrolls up a few screens worth. | 05:14 |
| Rhorse | Well, you should start alsamixer and play w/ the controls. The browser may be taking over your sound. | 05:14 |
| Rhorse | You should quit your browser and restart the app that's giving you trouble. | 05:14 |
| waudette | anirudh0: Maybe I can take a different tact then. In 7.x I was using factory binarys from ATI for my Graphics card. Are the Open Drivers ready for use yet? | 05:14 |
| naudiz | so dmesg doesn't log all of the 'upstart' bootup ? For instance it doesn't log udevd ? | 05:14 |
| waudette | track* | 05:14 |
| Rhorse | Then U should avoid running Flash on the browser while running your sound app. | 05:15 |
| Rhorse | Oh, yea, and install and learn how to use alsactl. It will save you a lot of heartache in future. | 05:15 |
| Wires | what should the new labletype be when partitioning ubuntu to duel boot windows? | 05:15 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: i already went in there and nothing is muted...actually i think ktorrent has something to do with it...i've had audio problem (no sound) from running ktorrent before...but nothing a reboot or even just a ktorrent kill wouldn't fix...this time it's a persistent problem...i'm still not sure what it is | 05:15 |
| teej | Ermm where can I download 7.04 (Kubuntu) I can't find any links for it. | 05:16 |
| Rhorse | THe browser may be taking over /dev/dsp. This is common problem with gstreamer apps. | 05:16 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: alsactl is installed...i can to the man page | 05:16 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, cant help you beyond the obvious "something is very wrong"...and the alacarte error is about incorrect parsing of an xml file..indicating that an xml file related to the menus either does'nt exist or has been corrupted | 05:16 |
| teej | No worries I found it, thanks anyway peeps | 05:16 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: but when i cut and paste your command i got an error message 'command not found' | 05:16 |
| naudiz | Rhorse: wouldn't installing 'pulseaudio' fix that problem ? | 05:16 |
| raistlinmaje7 | would purging alacarte help? | 05:16 |
| Rhorse | naudiz, not familiar w/ that one. | 05:17 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, unlikely...alacarte is just the "user" ...its the "system" that is wrong | 05:17 |
| naudiz | Rhorse: Fedora 9 uses it by default and it allows me to play multiple sources of sound at once | 05:17 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: if the browser takes over /dev/dsp how do i fix that? and how would i check if alsa even started on boot up...i checked for messages, but didn't find any | 05:17 |
| raistlinmaje7 | lovely | 05:17 |
| Wires | hey | 05:17 |
| anirudh0 | :) | 05:17 |
| Wires | I created a new partition using gparted.. the old one will still be there right? | 05:18 |
| Wires | I mean, I know it didn't delete it.. but it says unallocated for the rest | 05:18 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, i once had a problem with an upgrade where the icons in the menus disappeared | 05:18 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, even though the menus themselves worked...later figured out it had something to do with a defective icon theme | 05:19 |
| Rhorse | naudiz, ok checked out it's deb file. Looks like might be just the ticket. | 05:19 |
| Rhorse | But I'd be scared it'd bork my setup. 8 ) | 05:19 |

| anirudh0 | Wires, have you already applied the changes? | 05:22 |

| Wires | yes... | 05:22 |

| naudiz | is there another source of kernel bootup messages in another logfile besides /var/log/dmesg ? | 05:27 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: what's weird is that everything was working fine...the sound just stopped...and i noticed it was after i had been running ktorrent, but reboots didn't change anything | 05:28 |
| naudiz | dmesg isn't logging my 'udevd' but I know it runs at bootup | 05:28 |

| APOWEN_ | can someone help em with my lack of sound (8.04 Hardy x86 on a P4, after applying all available updates) | 05:28 |
| timandtom | I'm following a (rather bad) guide on something, and just used fdisk, editted some partitions, and wrote the changes. Now it tells me that they're all the correct System(Empty, W95 FAT32, and Linux). Do I need to format them still, or are they right >.> | 05:29 |
| Rhorse | dhamma, yea, I don't know why alsactl doesn't work if you have it installed. It *might* get you back to where you were. | 05:29 |
| naudiz | APOWEN_: type 'alsamixer' and make sure the the volume is turned up and that it is unmuted | 05:29 |
| krammer | Hardy wasnt stable for me, also the sound did not work as well | 05:29 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, if you are moving a partiton, AFAIK data must be lost(unless you backup ofcourse)...if you are shrinking and extending _inplace_, data _might_ not be lost, depending on the filesystem types | 05:29 |
| APOWEN_ | all are turned to the max, yet no sound | 05:30 |
| raistlinmaje7 | ext3 | 05:30 |
| APOWEN_ | and it's pointing to the correct device | 05:30 |
| raistlinmaje7 | for both partitions | 05:30 |
| naudiz | APOWEN_: Are you sure it's not 'muted' ? | 05:30 |
| anirudh0 | raistlinmaje7, then shink and resize in place should work | 05:30 |
| Rhorse | dhamma, The command is 'alsactl restore' | 05:30 |
| raistlinmaje7 | awesome, thanks | 05:30 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: ok...i'll try it | 05:30 |
| sweetgum | anyone know where i can find the ubuntu source? | 05:30 |
| raistlinmaje7 | sweetgum: what part of it? | 05:31 |
| naudiz | APOWEN_: if there is an 'MM' on the volumes then it is muted | 05:31 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: ok i just ran the command and nothing happened...do i need to use sudo first or reboot? | 05:31 |
| alan_m | http://archive.ubuntu.com sweetgum | 05:31 |

| APOWEN_ | there however is definatly no MM or mm | 05:33 |
| sweetgum | alan_m do you know if theres a sort of story board explaining how to get from kernel to debian to ubuntu IE(from kernel.gz -> ubuntu.iso) | 05:33 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: i just fired up ktorrent and its running | 05:33 |
| naudiz | APOWEN_: what kind of sound card do you have or is it integrated ? | 05:33 |
| jberg | hey i've been having some problems with debian and my network card, it cant configure it.. so i used an ubuntu live cd and it managed to find my wireless network card and use atheros hardware access layer and support for atheros 802.11 b or something drivers so my wireless card worked. does anyone know where they are on ubuntu so i can copy them? | 05:33 |
| MarcC | how do I program in C in Ubuntu? Let's say I want to use GEdit or Geany...how do I compile/run? | 05:33 |

| APOWEN_ | however it shows realtek alc880 | 05:34 |
| Rhorse | dhamma, ah, see? | 05:34 |
| alan_m | sweetgum, I have no clue where to find that information, sorry. | 05:34 |

| syntac | hi, i would like to install a wiki on my LAMP (php) server. anyone know some wiki software i can get for free? | 05:35 |
| jbroome | syntac: pretty much all of it | 05:35 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: i don't follow you...i still have no audio | 05:35 |
| APOWEN_ | I am using gnome, general install from the CD ISO for 8.04 | 05:35 |

| syntac | jbroome, i'm looking for some actual software | 05:35 |
| jbroome | !es| jovelos | 05:35 |
| ubottu | jovelos: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 05:35 |
| bczippy | mkquist: not all of it...will try and be back in a bit...thanks... | 05:35 |
| APOWEN_ | and the restricted drivers packages | 05:35 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: do i need to use 'sudo alsactl restore'? | 05:36 |
| Rhorse | dhamma, oh, I'm sorry I thot you said it was good. 8 ( | 05:36 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: no...sorry | 05:36 |
| jbroome | syntac: http://www.wikimatrix.org/ | 05:36 |
| Rhorse | no, alsactl is not a root command. | 05:36 |
| kindofabuzz | could someone suggest a program to get a logitech wingman rumblepad working? | 05:36 |
| syntac | jbroome, excellent thanks | 05:36 |
| naudiz | APOWEN_: Allright before we go any further are you sure the sound is turned up on the sound icon on the upper right hand corner of the you GNOME desktop on the panel ? | 05:37 |
| * Rhorse comes down off his soapbox, and is officially stumped. | 05:37 | |
| jberg | hey, i need to copy the atheros HAL driver and the atheros support driver which comes with ubuntu, does anyone know where they are so i can just copy them? | 05:37 |
| APOWEN_ | yes it is running at 100% turned up no mute | 05:37 |
| jberg | like, where they are in the filesystem.. | 05:37 |
| mkquist | APOWEN_: sound problems? | 05:37 |
| APOWEN_ | Mkquist yes | 05:37 |
| yotsu | does this mean it is simply just not compatible? | 05:38 |
| mkquist | APOWEN_: have u looked at this guide yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 05:38 |
| mkquist | APOWEN_: always fixes my sound problems | 05:38 |
| APOWEN_ | not yet | 05:38 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: i really think ktorrent is the culprit, but can't be sure...a search on ubuntu forums shows that others have had audio issues with ktorrent...it's a shame because i like the app, but if i can get my audio up again i think i'm going to ditch ktorrent. in any case, i've already posted this issue on the forums without much feedback...i'm avoiding a reinstall as it will be a lot of work to duplicate my current set up | 05:38 |
| dhamma | Rhorse: but thanks for all your help anyway... | 05:38 |
| amrik2 | you could always use deluge :) pretty nice client UI very similar to utorrent | 05:39 |
| nickrud | !clone | dhamma (along with saving your home and any bits of /etc) is pretty simple | 05:39 |
| ubottu | dhamma (along with saving your home and any bits of /etc) is pretty simple: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 05:39 |
| Rhorse | dhamma, yea, a reinstall is rarely nec w/ Linux. But another torrent client might work for U | 05:39 |
| jbroome | !u | Rhorse | 05:39 |
| ubottu | Rhorse: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 05:39 |
| * nickrud will someday take the time to learn alsa | 05:40 | |
| timandtom | After I make a partition with fdisk, do I still need to format it? Even if it reads as Linux or W95 FAT32 already? | 05:40 |

| jberg | hey, i need to copy the atheros HAL driver and the atheros support driver which comes with ubuntu, does anyone know where they are so i can just copy them? | 05:41 |
| amrik2 | Mulder: you can enable the medibuntu repositories | 05:41 |

| Mulder | theFATMAN, install openoffice for windows | 05:44 |
| InGunsWeTrust | alan_m: I need a force quit not a nice quit | 05:44 |
| theFATMAN | mulder, its not for me, i just sent a client some docs that are in the odt format | 05:44 |
| alan_m | InGunsWeTrust, dont know of the command, I do know of the applet that does it for you. | 05:44 |
| Mulder | if you must use ms office, ms *claim* to be willing to support odf in their next service pack, however long that's going to take | 05:44 |
| AussieGuySyd | hi. I am trying to transfer a 5GB file over sftp via ssh to my home folder. I log into sftp as me, and the transfer stops at 35mb | 05:44 |

| Mulder | amrik2, medibuntu by itself doesnt seemt o work. i guess gstreamer plugins ugly will | 05:46 |
| Mulder | or whatever contains faad | 05:46 |
| Mulder | *should* be in universe/multiverse | 05:46 |
| ltcabral | alan_m: lol ok thanks | 05:47 |

| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 05:49 |

| ubottu | Factoid really? why? not found | 05:50 |
| x_ | I will give it a try thanks Itai-Michaelson and nickrud | 05:50 |
| APOWEN_ | in the reboot part of that phase so see you in a bit? | 05:50 |
| alan_m | Ubottu is a bot, its not meant for general conversation as it cant hold a full one, we can send it commands and it sends us back the information on that command. | 05:50 |
| Itai-Michaelson | bazhang, why was it moved there? | 05:50 |
| ubottu | alan_m: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:50 |
| nickrud | Itai-Michaelson gvfs had that change, it's to do with allowing undelete and other goodies Real Soon Now | 05:51 |

| Itai-Michaelson | nickrud, erm, what does "Real Soon Now" mean? | 05:52 |
| Freddy__ | hello, im looking for the firmware i need to make my built in isight working on my imac...can anyone help me out? | 05:52 |

| === Gaint_Sura is now known as GaintSura | ||

| nickrud | Itai-Michaelson it's a saying that it's gonna be available someday, maybe. Like vaporware | 05:53 |
| bazhang | x_ use gksudo not sudo | 05:53 |
| rich_freecomm | I use su *grin* | 05:55 |
| x_ | bazhang: No good still root | 05:55 |
| alan_m | using the wrong thing gksudo/sudo could wreck havoc (eventually) so always watch what your doing x_ :) | 05:55 |
| x_ | Itai-Michaelson: there is no hidden .trash file | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | Freddy__, It's available from your OSX partition | 05:56 |

| timandtom | What exactly is my computer doing when it fscks itself? And would disabling it/making it happen less often hurt(The computer has very little file activity, temporary or otherwise, if that matters). | 05:57 |
| Itai-Michaelson | x_ you can also go through the view menu "show hidden files" , it should be called ".trash" | 05:58 |
| x_ | Itai-Michaelson: I did that and there is no .trash file | 05:58 |
| bazhang | Rubin, I had the same thing happen to mine (dead after 8 months); this was on Suse/Ubuntu/other-->likely lenovo and/or sony to blame | 05:58 |
| Itai-Michaelson | x_ do ypu s | 05:58 |
| Itai-Michaelson | x_ sorry | 05:58 |
| Itai-Michaelson | x_ do you see other hiden files then? | 05:58 |
| Rubin | bazhang, a design flaw? or a defective battery? | 05:58 |
| x_ | yes | 05:58 |
| Rubin | bazhang, any documentation of this on the web? i havnt been able to find others with this problem | 05:59 |

| x_ | yep | 05:59 |
| alan_m | !sound | Ap_ youve tried this correct? | 05:59 |
| ubottu | Ap_ youve tried this correct?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| x_ | Itai-Michaelson: Now how do I get rid of it? | 06:02 |
| timandtom | bazhang: It just checks things, it doesn't actually FIX anything though? So it would be fine to make it do it less often? | 06:02 |
| x_ | Itai-Michaelson: or sudo and then delete it there? | 06:03 |
| Itai-Michaelson | x_ if you are running sudo nautilus you should be able to delete any file in the trash | 06:03 |
| bazhang | !fsck | timandtom | 06:03 |
| ubottu | timandtom: 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 | 06:03 |

| Ax4 | it's totally bizarre because I hear sound for a split second... but then NOTHING else | 06:16 |
| neyug1 | bazhang: im not sure lol i just want ubuntu to be first and xp 2nd | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | Freddy__, That will do it, all the codecs, flash, java, pretty much all the standard proprietary goodness | 06:16 |

| SeveredCross | chipdude: You could propbably just remove it with Synaptic. | 06:23 |
| neyug1 | ok | 06:23 |
| SeveredCross | Though that may be a 'Bad Idea' (TM) | 06:23 |
| Ax4 | type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:23 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:23 |
| nickrud | timandtom locate mtools.conf | 06:23 |
| bigmcq77 | I'm from Germany but moved | 06:23 |

| SeveredCross | *terminal. | 06:23 |

| Ax4 | it's easiest this way | 06:23 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: thats not wat i really want | 06:24 |
| SeveredCross | Alt-F2, type gksu gedit | 06:24 |
| chipdude | SeveredCross: i dont think i'm gonna remove it it. | 06:24 |
| hackofchris | What is the best programming gui to use in ubuntu? | 06:24 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, you want to make windows default instead of ubuntu? or vice versa? | 06:24 |
| SeveredCross | hackofchris: Depends on what you're programming. | 06:24 |
| timandtom | nickrud: Didn't return anything | 06:24 |
| jstEEz | chipdude there is an excellent tutorial on the pulseaudio web page | 06:24 |
| Ax4 | hackofchris, gedit or eclipse or vim | 06:24 |
| bazhang | what is with all the Polls in here? | 06:24 |
| jstEEz | and also how to fix your flash issue | 06:24 |
| chipdude | jstEEz: do you have a link? | 06:24 |
| michael_ | hackofchris,which language do you use | 06:24 |
| nickrud | timandtom then you don't have it. | 06:24 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: well u know wen u boot up theres a option to pik os's and gives u like 30 secs to pik | 06:24 |
| SeveredCross | gedit, eclipse and vim all stink if you're using Mono. | 06:24 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, yes | 06:24 |
| nickrud | !find mtools.conf | timandtom | 06:24 |
| ubottu | timandtom: File mtools.conf found in mtools | 06:24 |

| neyug1 | Ax4: ya i just want to put windows 2nd | 06:25 |
| hackofchris | and i would like to start learning perl | 06:25 |
| michael_ | eclipse | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | hackofchris: Eclipse is your best bet for Java, though vim would cover all of those nicely. | 06:25 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, so you want to change the boot order, correct? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | timandtom that is, unless you just installed mtools that is | 06:25 |
| Itai-Michaelson | neyug1, you want it to appear under ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| hackofchris | vim? | 06:25 |
| michael_ | yes | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | Vi IMproved. | 06:25 |
| michael_ | vim is powerful | 06:25 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: yes | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | !info vim | 06:25 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, then you should follow my instructions lol | 06:25 |
| ubottu | vim (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 790 kB, installed size 1552 kB | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | Though I recommend: | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | !info vim-full | 06:25 |
| ubottu | vim-full (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor (transitional package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 72 kB, installed size 112 kB | 06:25 |
| sensae | I'm having a weird problems with metadata on mp3s. When I check a file's properties it has the wrong metadata, and rhythmbox reads the wrong metadata. When I open the file in picard it shows the right metadata | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | And | 06:25 |
| hackofchris | where do i get vim? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | timandtom /etc/mtools.conf exists on my machine, I have mtools installed | 06:25 |
| jstEEz | chipdude here you go: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup | 06:25 |
| SeveredCross | !info vim-gnome | 06:25 |
| ubottu | vim-gnome (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GNOME2 GUI. In component main, is extra. Version 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 935 kB, installed size 1872 kB | 06:25 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: ok lol | 06:25 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, you can change boot sequence in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:25 |
| nickrud | !info vim-full | 06:25 |
| michael_ | sudo apt-get install vim-full | 06:25 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: ok | 06:26 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:26 |
| rodel | <bazhang> build-essential install it rodel : how? | 06:26 |
| jstEEz | chipdude also there is a section that adresses flash | 06:26 |
| chipdude | jstEEz: thanks! | 06:26 |
| timandtom | nickrud, Odd, I thought I just installed the .deb for it... How did YOU go about getting it? | 06:26 |
| jstEEz | np | 06:26 |
| neyug1 | ok im there | 06:26 |
| bazhang | rodel, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 06:26 |
| hackofchris | is vim better than eclipse? i'm comming from MS Visual Studio | 06:26 |
| nickrud | timandtom sudo apt-get install mtools | 06:26 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: ok im there | 06:26 |
| fxr_ | heh does anyone know how to get the places menu of the the main menu and onto the panel in Hardy like it was in Gutsy? | 06:26 |
| SeveredCross | hackofchris: If you're coming from VS, you'll feel much more comfortable in Eclipse than vim. | 06:26 |
| bigmcq77 | sudo gedit /grub/files/about.dll | 06:26 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, actually close gedit | 06:26 |
| Munchkinguy | Does anyone know how to use Devede | 06:26 |
| Munchkinguy | ? | 06:26 |
| michael_ | anyone here can help me, when i use mplayer play a rmvb video ,the player give a error: ao_alsa mixer load error | 06:27 |
| jstEEz | chipdude are you running Hardy? | 06:27 |
| nickrud | hackofchris in some ways, but it's much less helpful | 06:27 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, let's make a backup first | 06:27 |
| SeveredCross | Plain old vim is a terminal-based editor. | 06:27 |
| Itai-Michaelson | hello | 06:27 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: rgr | 06:27 |
| SeveredCross | vim-gnome is GTK, but maintains much of the spirit of terminal vim. | 06:27 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, cd /boot/grub | 06:27 |
| SeveredCross | Eclipse is an X-only IDE. | 06:27 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst_backup | 06:27 |
| Freddy__ | Jordan_U, sorry for bothering but, do i need to install any graphic driver? this is an intel imac 20" with ati | 06:27 |
| hackofchris | is eclipse easy to set up and run? or would vim run better | 06:27 |
| SeveredCross | hackofchris: No idea, never used Eclipse. | 06:27 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, then, sudo gedit menu.lst | 06:27 |
| michael_ | vim is more quick | 06:27 |
| SeveredCross | Freddy__: fglrx if you want 3D acceleration. | 06:28 |
| michael_ | and vim just a editer | 06:28 |
| timandtom | nickrud, thanks, got it | 06:28 |
| michael_ | eclipse is a ide | 06:28 |
| SeveredCross | Freddy__: Restricted Drivers Manager should offer you the ATI driver, I think. | 06:28 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: done | 06:28 |
| SeveredCross | michael_: Though vim can be an IDE if you deck it out with the right plugins. | 06:28 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, so you're in gedit looking at the config | 06:28 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: yes | 06:28 |
| michael_ | yes | 06:28 |
| hackofchris | how would ya compile and run in vim? | 06:28 |
| jstEEz | Freddy__: you could always use the lovely Envy tool | 06:28 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, great, scroll to the bottom and you'll see the operating system(s) listing | 06:28 |
| michael_ | most time i use it as a editer,and use an other tab for gcc | 06:29 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: ya | 06:29 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, you can reorder it there and make any changes you need to | 06:29 |
| Freddy__ | restricted drivers manager is something like the restricted extras? | 06:29 |
| SeveredCross | Or a screen session. :) | 06:29 |
| bazhang | jstEEz, envyng-gtk in repos now | 06:29 |
| michael_ | yes | 06:29 |
| SeveredCross | Freddy__: Nope....System --> Administration --> Restricted Drivers or something like that. | 06:29 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: ok | 06:29 |
| SeveredCross | Not actually on Ubuntu ATM. | 06:29 |
| nickrud | bazhang yeah, it's almost enough to make me puke | 06:29 |
| michael_ | but ctrl+tab more easy to press | 06:29 |
| jstEEz | bazhang yah i know , im glad they put it out there | 06:29 |
| bazhang | nickrud, and now in restricted modules as well. | 06:30 |
| * SeveredCross is used to C-a "S-' | 06:30 | |
| michael_ | anyone help me , mplayer show me a error: so_alsa mixer load error | 06:30 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, if you want to change which one is default, there's an "option" in the beginning of menu.lst called "default 0" you can change that. it goes by numbering of the listing, (numbering starts at 0 btw) so the first is 0, the second is 1, so on and so forth... | 06:30 |
| bazhang | michael_, try vlc | 06:30 |
| michael_ | bazhang | 06:30 |
| michael_ | how? | 06:30 |
| nickrud | bazhang ohh, hadn't caught that yet. I filed a bug against envy-gtk, it messed up the sources.list. Did get fixed fast, though | 06:30 |
| bazhang | michael_, sudo apt-get install vlc | 06:30 |
| neyug1 | Ax4: ok thnks | 06:30 |
| jstEEz | michael_ or try changing your audio output | 06:30 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, it'll correspond to the list you have at the bottom, what you're working with now, i hope i said that clear enough | 06:30 |
| Ax4 | neyug1, my pleasure, and you have a backup in case you f**k it up lmao | 06:31 |
| Ax4 | ;) | 06:31 |
| michael_ | ok , first install vlc | 06:31 |
| UbuntuDude | hello | 06:31 |
| bazhang | Ax4, language please | 06:31 |
| AhmedMahmudi | AhmedMahmudi: hello | 06:31 |

| bazhang | sPOiDar, in system preferences sessions did you add it to start up on boot? take a look there first | 06:34 |
| michael_ | so i will get some information about the vlc | 06:34 |

| FloodBot1 | Ax4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:34 |
| bazhang | ax4 another distro. | 06:34 |
| vraa | what should i advise him to do, he can't port forward, i already trid to setup an ssh server so i could just do it myself | 06:34 |
| Ax4 | you don't need another distro when you have a hardy heron! lol | 06:34 |
| jstEEz | michael_ vlc is good and easy to use definately check it out | 06:34 |
| sPOiDar | bazhang: ahh, found it in the network properties, thx | 06:35 |
| kristian42 | Does anyone know why all three of my hardy boxes booted this night ? They're at separate locations. | 06:35 |
| bczippy | backtrack is security-testing distro | 06:35 |
| michael_ | jstEEz | 06:35 |
| michael_ | if i choose pulse audio | 06:35 |
| UbuntuDude | mplayer is good too | 06:35 |

| Ax4 | thought* | 06:42 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ do you want to try and use RTutil its the only thing that worked with my Ralink usb device? | 06:42 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: I used sudo while setting everything up? | 06:42 |
| Munchkinguy | theFATMAN: No, but see http://build.rockbox.org/ | 06:42 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ ya i know but it shoouldnt grey them out | 06:43 |
| theFATMAN | k | 06:43 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: yes I will try. Should I unstall network manager? | 06:43 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ no you dont have to | 06:43 |
| bigmcq77 | i used sudo and all of my pr0n was erased. tragic | 06:43 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ do you have the link? | 06:43 |
| timandtom | Is it NORMAL for a drive to show way more then it's supposed to after you format it? Specifically, why the HELL does my 80gb iPod now say it's 200+gb? | 06:43 |
| zetheroo | can someone help me with a Firefox issue in Hardy? | 06:43 |
| beyta | hello... this is my first time here... | 06:44 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: ok I will try RTutil now, I was considering that just before I came in here. What driver are you currently using? | 06:44 |
| Rainarrow | How do I examine the SMART status of my HDD? | 06:44 |
| bigmcq77 | timandtom that sucks | 06:44 |
| Freddy__ | i have no 3d acceleration :( on my imac | 06:44 |
| robg_ | timandtom: I have also seen incorrect drive measures | 06:44 |
| bigmcq77 | I used smarthdd editor | 06:44 |
| beyta | zetheroo... what is ur firefox problem? | 06:44 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ its the RT73usb driver from serialmonkeys | 06:44 |
| jstEEz | zetheroo yes do tell | 06:45 |
| bigmcq77 | rainarrow ni used smarthdd exam.2.0. worked like a charm | 06:45 |
| timandtom | robg_, does it seem to affect anything? I'm trying to install iPodLinux, and after following all the directions... I get this. | 06:45 |
| beyta | what u get? | 06:45 |
| powertool08 | in rtorrent i get a storage error, file chunk write error, no such device, device exists with free space | 06:45 |
| timandtom | robg_, all the directions for partitioning and formatting I mean. Haven't got around to installing yet. | 06:45 |
| robg_ | timandtom: I know my drive is 160 Gb so I don't care what the software tells me. | 06:45 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: hmmm, thats the one that works by default and the rt73 tutorials say to blacklist | 06:45 |
| timandtom | robg_, but it hasn't seemed to have affected anything, other then just looking wrong? | 06:46 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: problem is it works but doesnt seem to be supporting packet injection | 06:46 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ when you blacklist it your actually blacklisted the one that ships with ubuntu | 06:46 |
| Munchkinguy | theFATMAN: There's also something called iPodLinux | 06:46 |
| bigmcq77 | I blacklisted and it showed up | 06:46 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ not the serialmokeys one with is aliased as rt73 ,--without the usb part | 06:46 |
| bigmcq77 | or jailbreak your ipodtouch | 06:46 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, thanks dude | 06:47 |
| robg_ | timandtom: for me on a desktop PC is has no consequences. I use gparted when I want to examine my drive. | 06:47 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, I'm looking now | 06:47 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz yes the intended driver is rt73 and rt73usb is the default ubuntu one | 06:47 |
| the_doctor | hi, who i can get the hydra-gtk for ubuntu 8 as deb. ? | 06:47 |
| Munchkinguy | You're welcome. | 06:47 |
| bigmcq77 | ebay | 06:47 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, would Damn Small Linux work? | 06:47 |
| tonyyarusso | the_doctor: (it's 8.04) | 06:47 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ so when you load it you do modprobe rt73 of course after you comile it | 06:47 |
| philsf | can someone enlighten me about opensync? in opensync.org's there are instructions on how to use the multisync app, whose package apparently only depends on libmultisync-*. What are the opensync-* packages good for? How can one use them? | 06:47 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ correct | 06:47 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: sudo modprobe rt73 even ;P | 06:48 |
| bigmcq77 | myrtii | 06:48 |
| the_doctor | yes | 06:48 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ ya | 06:48 |
| timandtom | robg_ Ok, sweet. Do you know of any way to fix it though? I'd PREFER it to be working right, even if it won't affect anything | 06:48 |
| powertool08 | anyone here successfully save to ntfs with rtorrent? | 06:48 |
| bigmcq77 | us | 06:48 |
| Munchkinguy | theFATMAN, for which device? | 06:48 |
| bigmcq77 | ya | 06:48 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: so is the default Ubuntu driver the serialmonkey one? | 06:48 |
| theFATMAN | sony walkman mp3 player? | 06:48 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ i could never get it to work with network manager , somtimes it would but always flaky | 06:48 |
| robg_ | timandtom: you would have to ask a Linux nerd. I don't know a hoot about Linux. | 06:48 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ no | 06:48 |
| zetheroo | beyta: Since upgrading to Hardy and using the latest Firefox 3 I find myself in constant loops with login ... like the session ends within seconds | 06:49 |
| timandtom | robg_ Ah, k, well, thanks for the help xP | 06:49 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, model#NWZ-S16F | 06:49 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ theres actually a whole right up about it, and ppl complaining like crazy cuz it recognizes the card but acts really weird slow and all kinds of madness | 06:49 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz even when it wasnt working with Network manager, would you get results with iwlist rausb0 scan? | 06:49 |
| sifon187 | hey ubuntu peeps...i need a suggestion....is there a live feed rss reader that has a stock ticker view | 06:49 |
| Munchkinguy | theFATMAN, probably not; it's for desktop | 06:49 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, im back btw heheh | 06:50 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: funny thing is, it always works perfectly with live cd's | 06:50 |
| thayer | whenever i combine a bunch of avis it only plays the first file help??? | 06:50 |
| theFATMAN | thats what i'm looking for | 06:50 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, thats what i'm looking for | 06:50 |
| bczippy | Ax4: glad you and your kernel made it... | 06:50 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ to be honest i just do a scan with the util | 06:50 |
| lnar | is it possible to install grub in DVD and make it boot some .iso files burned on the DVD??? | 06:50 |
| bigmcq77 | yes | 06:50 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ command line network configs make me quezzy | 06:50 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, yea had to recompile some applications that broke but that's expected ;) | 06:51 |
| lnar | bigmcq77, that yes was for me? | 06:51 |
| SeveredCross | lnar: Why not just use ISOLINUX? | 06:51 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, took mere seconds, with my quad-core beast hahah | 06:51 |
| Munchkinguy | theFATMAN: Sorry, do you want to install Linux on your walkman, or just connect it to a computer with Linux? | 06:51 |
| bigmcq77 | ya. my friend did it. I dont know how though | 06:51 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: lol im still new to linux so me and the command line are still in our honey moon phase | 06:51 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ ahah ya i know, we all go through it | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, Why would you want it to boot iso files? | 06:51 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ its definately good to learn | 06:52 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, i can use it with ubuntu, no problem, i want to install linux0n it | 06:52 |
| kindofabuzz | _0tt0v0nc4t_: well get used to her, you're stuck with her for life! =) | 06:52 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, im tryin to make a dvd with several distros | 06:52 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | definitely frustrating and time consuming to lol | 06:52 |
| zetheroo | beyta: any idea why? | 06:52 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ what guide did you use? the one on the ubuntu site? | 06:52 |
| bczippy | Ax4: don't know wether to be jealous or throw something at you... | 06:52 |
| lnar | SeveredCross, i dont know how to use it | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, Ahh, there is a better way to do that | 06:52 |
| SeveredCross | lnar: Google? | 06:52 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, send me the link again and i'll review it and look for discrepancies (if any heheh) | 06:52 |
| kindofabuzz | _0tt0v0nc4t_: you'll get to the point where command line is faster | 06:52 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: I have used so many I dont remember lol, mostly the aircrack one and some serial monkey ones | 06:52 |
| lnar | SeveredCross, ive search everywhere and didnt find any solution | 06:53 |
| bczippy | Ax4: http://pastebin.com/mf53c1f | 06:53 |
| david__ | !opera | 06:53 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, haha be happy! not jealous rofl | 06:53 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 06:53 |
| SeveredCross | lnar: Interesting. | 06:53 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, how ? | 06:53 |
| jackw | anyone can help me? | 06:53 |
| jackw | i have a very old server | 06:53 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ well get it working dangit | 06:53 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: I have refrenced ubuntu as well but its not as abundant with info as aircrack and serial monkey | 06:53 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ thats true | 06:53 |
| jackw | and nowi going to move the domain name to another new machine | 06:53 |
| mitrovarr | so, wifi doesn't work on boot, and it needs to. If I boot up, do a /etc/init.d/networking stop and a /etc/init.d/networking start, it starts to work | 06:53 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, it's crazy, I came here for help tonight, still haven't gotten any, and all I've done is helped others..... *sigh* | 06:53 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ i used multiple sources myself | 06:53 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: lol ok brb Im gonna go get RTutil | 06:54 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, http://www.linux.com/articles/52927 And for future reference it is usually good to state your end goal before you ask a question like that, because you may have many people that can help you but never get an answer to the question you ask :) | 06:54 |
| mitrovarr | any ideas what could cause this? | 06:54 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ cool beanz | 06:54 |
| jerrcs | hey guys - i'm setting up ubuntu via debootstrap on a gentoo livecd.. going well, jsut configuring my interfaces.. got a question though, what's "network IP.here" for in that config file? | 06:54 |
| jackw | helo.. anymore can guide me ? | 06:54 |
| jackw | PLease | 06:54 |
| lnar | SeveredCross, Jordan_U ive unpack the isos into a directory then creater isolinux/isolinux.cfg and give there the direction to each kernel but didnt show the correct menu with qemu, and even when i could boot for example mandriva, somehow the modules didnt charge on kernel or i dont know | 06:54 |
| bczippy | Ax4: it's called karma...lol...would help more if I had more exp with linux... | 06:54 |
| bigmcq77 | Linux sucks | 06:55 |
| jstEEz | jackw whats the issue? | 06:55 |
| mitrovarr | has anyone had anything resembling good luck with wifi and ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, now when I left, you were instructed to reset grub with the livecd, what happened with that | 06:55 |
| jerrcs | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14985/ < is that correct, the network part? | 06:55 |
| mitrovarr | every adapter I try, it's a mess or a disaster | 06:55 |
| jstEEz | mitrovarr depends on which card | 06:55 |
| Ax4 | i also don't believe in karma... heheh | 06:55 |
| Ax4 | ^_^ | 06:55 |
| mitrovarr | i've tried 3 and all had obnoxious bugs | 06:55 |
| bigmcq77 | karma. why my wife left me | 06:55 |
| kiss_son | mitrovarr , u only need iwconfig and dhclient command | 06:56 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, if u find any solution in that page for what im trying to do, Ill give u a million dollars | 06:56 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 06:56 |
| jstEEz | mitrovarr i think there is like a list that states which ones have good linux support | 06:56 |
| mitrovarr | kiss_son: I'm configuring this computer for someone else. it has to work in the 'normal' fashion, as much as possible, because I'll never be able to maintain it remotely. | 06:56 |
| bczippy | Ax4: the only mods I made to the menu.lst was to add the Backtrack title at the very end and change the menu timeout to ten secs... | 06:56 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, none of that works man | 06:57 |
| thayer | i need help making a dvd | 06:57 |
| mitrovarr | anyway, I shouldn't rant. I just want to know if anyone has had wifi setups that wouldn't work on boot, but worked otherwise, and found a solution for it. Hopefully a better solution than just restarting networking via a script or some other ugly kludge. | 06:57 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, and to review, the problem is that backtrack won't start up, what error code do you get? | 06:57 |
| thayer | how to combine avi files ? | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, Maybe I misunderstand what you are trying to do then, because that is an article about how to "make a custom DVD to boot multiple live CDs" unless I gave you the wrong link | 06:57 |
| zetheroo | please help with a Firefox issue in Hardy | 06:58 |
| === obf213 is now known as peterpan | ||
| ai3gtmc | hi | 06:58 |
| peterpan | how would i redownload packages i seemed to have delted the gnome-do package | 06:58 |
| bczippy | Ax4: it shows up in the boot menu, just gives "Error 11: unrecognized device string" | 06:58 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, when you try to select it? correct? | 06:58 |
| bczippy | yes | 06:59 |
| bazhang | lnar, what is the issue | 06:59 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, i refers to a script that doesnt exist in the hole internet | 06:59 |
| ai3gtmc | I can't mount my windows drive. it says "$logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) | 06:59 |
| jstEEz | zetheroo whats your issue i didnt see you write what it is | 06:59 |
| jstEEz | ai3gtmc yes it will not mount | 06:59 |
| lnar | bazhang, im tryin to create a dvd with multiple live cds on it, like ubuntu mandriva fedora... | 07:00 |
| ai3gtmc | jstEEz, so what do i do? | 07:00 |
| jstEEz | ai3gtmc its on a dual boot machine? | 07:00 |
| beyta | lnar... restart ur pc.. and the problem is settle.. | 07:00 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, thats a pretty neat package :) lookng at the screenshots right now | 07:00 |
| mitrovarr | meh, I'm going to go try the 'restarting networking via a script' thing. After working on this for hours I like the sound of it better and better. | 07:00 |
| zetheroo | jstEEz: Since upgrading to Hardy and using the latest Firefox 3 I find myself in constant loops with login ... like the session ends within seconds | 07:00 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, ok lemme read your menu.lst :) | 07:00 |
| ai3gtmc | I have 3 hard disk 1 ubuntu 1 windows 1 misc stuff | 07:00 |
| bczippy | Ax4: http://pastebin.com/mf53c1f | 07:00 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, Ahh, that does pose a problem doesn't it :) | 07:00 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], yeah i've been using it for awhile, its pretty neat if i could only get it back.... | 07:00 |
| beyta | sori lnar... not u... msg for ai3gtmc | 07:00 |
| ai3gtmc | jstEEz, ^ | 07:00 |
| lnar | so bazhang i asked if i can install grub on the dvd and burn the isos on the dvd and make the bootloader boot the isos from the dvd | 07:00 |
| peterpan | i did completely remove, but for some reason it like delted the package | 07:00 |
| peterpan | i just wanted a clean reinstall | 07:01 |
| Munchkinguy | theFATMAN, sorry I don't think there's any linux port for the walkman | 07:01 |
| beyta | ai3gtmc, restart ur pc and the problem is settled | 07:01 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, heheh already doing it, just was giving you an update as to what im doing on my end ;) | 07:01 |
| ai3gtmc | beyta, i did that already | 07:01 |
| jstEEz | ai3gtmc ok so that windows drive can you boot of it? if so boot off it and then back to linux and your all set | 07:01 |
| zetheroo | jstEEz: and I have to constatntly re-login again and again | 07:01 |
| bazhang | lnar okay; and how does that relate to ubuntu support? it technically could be possible I suppose--perhaps uck could do it. | 07:01 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, u have any idea how to do it? have u ever did something like this? | 07:01 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, what happens when you sudo apt-get install gnome-do ? | 07:01 |
| theFATMAN | Munchkinguy, i'm too stubborn ta quit! lol | 07:01 |
| ai3gtmc | jstEEz, no it's messed up that's why I used ubuntu | 07:01 |
| jstEEz | zetheroo ok do you want to downgrade to firefox2? | 07:01 |
| jstEEz | ai3gtmc well it wont mont it unless you fix that, its an ntfs thing | 07:02 |
| beyta | oh... open ur windows and shutdown... | 07:02 |
| beyta | i mean microsoft windows | 07:02 |
| ai3gtmc | jstEEz, beyta , I just need to backup my windows files then format it | 07:02 |
| bazhang | beyta, who are you speaking to | 07:02 |
| Munchkinguy | Well, uh remember: Rockbox supports the iriver | 07:02 |
| lnar | bazhang, it doesnt at all... sorry u know where i can find some help for doing what im trying to do? | 07:02 |
| [_miT_] | lol beyta | 07:02 |
| brianfreud | Hi all... I'm hoping someone can help, running from a LiveCD, as Ubuntu won't boot even in repair mode | 07:02 |
| jstEEz | ai3gtmc one solution is hang on let me find the command | 07:02 |
| beyta | ai3gtmc | 07:02 |
| zetheroo | jstEEz: if there is no way to fix this .... then I suppose.... but that is a bit annoying..... :( | 07:02 |
| [_miT_] | !tab | beyta | 07:02 |
| ubottu | beyta: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:02 |
| ai3gtmc | jstEEz, ok thanks :) | 07:02 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], Package gnome-do is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 07:02 |
| rnartos | is there any better alternative OSS Project Management tools other than Collabtive?? | 07:02 |
| bazhang | !uck | lnar this might do it | 07:03 |
| ubottu | lnar this might do it: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 07:03 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, 7.10 or 8.04? | 07:03 |
| peterpan | 8.04 | 07:03 |
| bczippy | Ax4: just realized top of menu.lst cut off...reposted... | 07:03 |
| peterpan | it was there a minute a go i completely removed, but for some reason it got delted | 07:03 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: how do you install it? make make install seems to be no good for this one. :/ | 07:03 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | *dons noob hat* | 07:03 |
| beyta | oh... thanks guyz... this is my first time here and use this xchat... thanks a lot... | 07:03 |

| lnar | ubottu, i dont want to change ubuntu nor customize it | 07:03 |
| ubottu | lnar: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:03 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, yea that looks more normal heheh | 07:03 |

| [_miT_] | peterpan, what happens when you sudo apt-get update? | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, You could try the script linked to in the comments of that page, though I don't know how respectable it is | 07:04 |
| lnar | bazhang, dont that, they say something about magic iso, ive tried that doesnt work and no much more | 07:04 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, doesnt exist anymore | 07:04 |
| brianfreud | Running 8.04, at boot in either mode, I get errored out with: /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: Permission denied || init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: Permission denied || init: rc-default main process (4531) terminated with status 255 | 07:05 |

| Ax4 | bczippy, ok makin sure :) | 07:07 |

| nhawk001 | has anyone used debian? how's it different from ubuntu? | 07:07 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, im having you update your box using the repos you have to make sure they're valid | 07:07 |
| julio_neto | how to auto organize icons in desktop? | 07:07 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, a sudo apt-get update will check those repos | 07:07 |
| julio_neto | gnome desktop | 07:07 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], no. it fails on some fetches | 07:07 |
| bazhang | julio_neto, right click on desktop | 07:08 |
| lnar | ill check | 07:08 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, 3rd party repos? | 07:08 |
| lnar | thanks Jordan_U bazhang | 07:08 |
| julio_neto | bazhang, AUTO organize automatic. | 07:08 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], mediubuntu | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, Where's my million dollars ? ;) | 07:08 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, ok so: "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup" | 07:08 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, temporary uncheck any 3rd party repos you have and update again | 07:08 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ can you give me the url to download i need to look at it | 07:08 |
| bazhang | julio_neto, no idea; why is that important to you? | 07:08 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, then let's make some modifications to the backtrack part, remove "noverify" from the root line | 07:09 |
| julio_neto | bazhang, cuz it's sucks... I always need 'order by name". | 07:09 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, vga=791 im pretty sure is a default option, remove that, and remove root=/dev/sda3 ro as well, so it reads: /boot/vmlinuz | 07:09 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, it has to work... probable wont because i want to burn different distros than that script lets u | 07:09 |
| julio_neto | bazhang, why there isn't a 'auto order' option ? | 07:09 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, after you've unchecked all 3rd party repos, run sudo apt-get update again and make sure it completes without any errors, | 07:10 |
| julio_neto | it would be pretty good! | 07:10 |
| bazhang | julio_neto, ask in #gnome | 07:10 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, finally let's change root line from (hd0,3) to (hd0,2) | 07:10 |
| julio_neto | bazhang, humm tks :) | 07:10 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: one sec I accidently closed it have toi find it again | 07:10 |
| bczippy | Ax4: okay...should it read root (hd0, 3) or (hd0,2) | 07:10 |
| bczippy | Ax4: ahh..one step ahead of me... | 07:10 |
| exploits | guys is this a major thing is my ubuntu is gnome not kde ! | 07:11 |
| bazhang | exploits, that is standard | 07:11 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, now if this breaks for some reason or you lose the ubuntu OS, go into the command prompt, cd /boot/grub, rm menu.lst, then "cp menu.lst.backup menu.lst" and reboot, that'll do a restoration of what you have right now ;) | 07:11 |
| exploits | witch means | 07:11 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], http://pastebin.com/m548977f8 | 07:11 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads | 07:11 |
| exploits | what is the difference between the 2 | 07:11 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, that way you're not completely left in the dark heheheh | 07:12 |
| bazhang | one uses gnome | 07:12 |
| Myrtti | whut? | 07:12 |
| SeveredCross | exploits: Uh yeah, kubuntu is KDE. | 07:12 |
| bczippy | Ax4: got it.. knew that... see you in a few... | 07:12 |
| takao | hi- i want to completely uninstall SCIM and all its config files. should i use apt-get or aptitude and what syntax? | 07:12 |
| SeveredCross | KDE is just a different desktop environment, slightly more Windows like. | 07:12 |
| Ax4 | hope he gets it | 07:12 |
| SeveredCross | GNOME is more Mac-like. | 07:12 |
| * Ax4 grabs some food | 07:12 | |
| ddesai | takao: u could use apt-get but u would also have to remove some of the stuff yourself | 07:13 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, are those in your 3rd party list? | 07:13 |
| Ax4 | comparing gnome to a mac is insulting! | 07:13 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, doesnt work it only works for some distros.... hehe told u | 07:13 |
| Ax4 | don't even dare! :p | 07:13 |
| ddesai | takao: mainly, the config files, not the app files | 07:13 |
| jstEEz | srry got booted | 07:13 |
| takao | ddesai, would using aptitude be better? | 07:13 |
| nhawk001 | SeveredCross, I dont think those are good answers | 07:14 |
| ddesai | takao: apt-get and aptitude are the same thing | 07:14 |
| DeepThought | I've edited devices.map from GRUB, do I need to update grub to get the3 changes in the boot trecord ? | 07:14 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], no, i uncheck all third party | 07:14 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, Damn, and here I thought I was going to get rich :) | 07:14 |
| takao | ddesai, i thought there was some difference in te way they handle dependencies | 07:14 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, For what distros that you need does it not work? | 07:14 |
| SeveredCross | nhawk001: They're a good approximation for non-technical users. | 07:15 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, then it should be updating fine | 07:15 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 07:15 | |
| ddesai | takao: my memory is a little fuzzy, but from what i can remember, apt-get does a better job installing the required dependencies, but for the purposes of removal, it does't matter | 07:15 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, did you change your main repos around? | 07:15 |
| lnar | Jordan_U, i want to make a dvd with the ubuntu mandriva fedora gparted | 07:15 |
| beyta | guys, i have dual boot ubuntu and windows... but if i format my windows my grub will gone and i need to intall back my ubuntu... anybody know how to solve it? | 07:15 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], nope i've done nothing. i just the usually completely remove to remove config files and it delted the binary or something i dunno | 07:16 |
| takao | ddesai, is the syntax apt-get remove scim --purge? | 07:16 |
| peterpan | its both confusing and annoying | 07:16 |
| * peterpan sigh | 07:16 | |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, then your repos should have no problem updating... | 07:16 |
| takao | beyta, grub will stay | 07:16 |
| SeveredCross | takao: Newer versions of apt-get support apt-get purge package | 07:16 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, from CLI can you do a successful DNS lookup? | 07:16 |
| robg_ | beyta: formatting destroys everything | 07:16 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, nslookup yahoo.com for example | 07:16 |
| bazhang | beyta, you just need to fix grub | 07:17 |
| chalcedony | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio is this still valid for Hardy and Alsa ? i just got Hardy .. sound does not work | 07:17 |
| peterpan | yes | 07:17 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], yes | 07:17 |
| beyta | robg_, how to fix it? | 07:17 |
| bazhang | robg that is incorrect | 07:17 |
| robg_ | beyta: what changes do you wish to apply ? | 07:17 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, so your update should be able to find the url's | 07:18 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, i dont know what else to try | 07:18 |
| peterpan | yeah maybe those urls are obsolete [_miT_] | 07:18 |
| robg_ | beyta: what is the exact problem ? | 07:18 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ | 07:18 |
| jiansen | 怎么没有人说中文阿 | 07:18 |
| portablejim | does lndir do the same thing a ln, but for directories? | 07:18 |
| bazhang | !cn | jiansen | 07:18 |
| ubottu | jiansen: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 07:18 |
| ddesai | takao: --purge should get rid of all the config files installed alongside the bin, but somother files are also stored near the /usr/share dir | 07:19 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ i was wrong there is a configure script now | 07:19 |
| beyta | robg_, i was format my XP, after finish installation, computer will restart and automatic go to windows xp... i can not choose my os to log in... | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | lnar, I would expect Ubuntu mandrivia and gparted to be layed out basically the same way ( BTW, mandrivia Ubuntu and fedora all contain gparted on their liveCD's so gparted is somewhat redundant ) | 07:19 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ so first you have to run ./configure | 07:19 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: I was just readint something about that, dont have my mind fully wrapped around it yet | 07:19 |
| locario | hello how can i access the log from all the commands i have used in the past in the tty1? | 07:20 |
| robg_ | beyta: there is always one boot OS and if you want the other you have to do BIOS boot. | 07:20 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, where is the repo file located again, i forget? | 07:20 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ lol ya they update that tool pretty often the last one i used was 0.14 i believe now they have 0.16 out | 07:20 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], im not sure either. | 07:20 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: do I configure it with nano? | 07:20 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], however, i went to the simple add/remove interface tried to add gnome do and got this error message: GNOME Do cannot be installed on your computer type (i386) | 07:21 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ nano? what are you talking about? lol | 07:21 |
| beyta | robg_, i use two OS in my pc... but after i format my xp, my grub was gone.. so i can't choose to log in with ubuntu... | 07:21 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, you running 64bit? | 07:21 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ you just run ./configure && make | 07:21 |
| peterpan | which of course is incorrect seeing as i've been using gnome-do for months | 07:21 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ then sudo make install | 07:21 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], no i am not | 07:21 |
| robg_ | beyta: when you do BIOS boot what OSes are in the list ? | 07:21 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, then that error should'nt exist | 07:22 |
| tbf | why is all browser text that large with hardy? how do i fix font sizes? | 07:22 |
| peterpan | i guess ubuntu isn't perfect maybe trying later might help i don't know | 07:22 |
| portablejim | locario: "history". However you might want to scroll theough them: "history | less" | 07:22 |
| xenos | just spent two hours trying to figure out how to install non-repository pkgs ... no luck! lol does darn deb pkgs | 07:22 |
| beyta | robg_, Ubuntu and Windows XP... after i format, grub was gone... | 07:22 |
| xenos | !deb | 07:23 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 07:23 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ the best thing to read is the README file in that comes with the program | 07:23 |
| Myrtti | !grub | beyta | 07:23 |
| ubottu | beyta: 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 | 07:23 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: it keeps telling me the file or directory does not exist. I am in the /RutilTv0.16 folder | 07:23 |
| robg_ | beyta: can you boot into Ubuntu and into XP from the BIOS ? | 07:23 |
| bczippy | Ax4: well, partial success... | 07:23 |
| xenos | !gdebi | 07:23 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 07:23 |
| beyta | robg_, not from bios.. but from grub.. | 07:23 |
| locario | portablejim: ok thank you :) | 07:23 |
| kindofabuzz | hmm if i turn off compiz's resize option i still should be able to resize my windows right? | 07:23 |
| Myrtti | beyta: you can fix your grub by following the instructions on the help-pages | 07:23 |
| Myrtti | beyta: the link ubottu gave you | 07:24 |
| xenos | wow | 07:24 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: I did I couldnt find the syntax in there to get it going | 07:24 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ did you type "./configure" without quotes ? | 07:24 |
| robg_ | beyta: what OS boots up when you press the start button ? | 07:24 |
| hackofchris | anyone have any suggestions about wow on ubuntu 8.04. When i run using opengl, the graphics are really slow | 07:24 |
| maco | why can my broadcom 43xx laptop see like 20-something access points, mostly with very strong signals, while my iwl3945 laptop sees only 9, and those are mostly weak? i thought intel's drivers were usually much better and broadcoms were supposed to be hell | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | kindofabuzz, I would expect that you would not, try it | 07:24 |
| bczippy | Ax4: got past the unrecognized device, started loading, then gave me a kernel panic error... | 07:24 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: yup i can make a pastebin one sec | 07:24 |
| beyta | thanks ubottu, myrtti, and robg... | 07:24 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ ok | 07:24 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, lol oh christ.... | 07:24 |
| maco | kindofabuzz: no | 07:24 |
| Ax4 | bczippy, this isn't your night is it | 07:25 |
| kindofabuzz | hmm ok | 07:25 |
| maco | kindofabuzz: if you turn off window resizing, you turn off window resizing | 07:25 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ do me a favor and do an ls -al also and paste that | 07:25 |
| kindofabuzz | maco: i just thought there was a default before compiz's | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | hackofchris, Do you have the correct drivers for your Graphics card installed? | 07:25 |
| bczippy | Ax4: well, i did get my Heron sound working...lol | 07:25 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367929 beyta read this | 07:25 |

| kindofabuzz | gotcha | 07:26 |
| tbf | .oO(firefox, aka borkzilla) | 07:26 |

| Ax4 | bczippy, funny, im having sound issues as well... haven't yet resolved it, but it's 2:30am for me, im calling it a night | 07:26 |
| Myrtti | !ask | Dil | 07:26 |

| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: edit those with sudo | 07:28 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: and be careful, because that's a system file | 07:28 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ thats weird do me a favor did you run "sudo apt-get build-essential" before? | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | KRaZy_WaKa, Then you need to have root ( admin ) privileges as that is a system file | 07:28 |
| Dil | i am having the torrent | 07:29 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i'm aware... it's the privoxy config file, trying to get privoxy and tor up and running | 07:29 |
| moshe_ | anyone have any experience with the ultimate edition of ubuntu? | 07:29 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: if you use a terminal editor, like nano or vim, use "sudo nano" or "sudo vim" but if you use gedit, then open it with "gksu gedit <file>" | 07:29 |
| bazhang | yit4s, what happens when you sudo dhclient wlan0 (or nic name) | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | KRaZy_WaKa, To open it with root privileges run "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" | 07:29 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], http://pastebin.com/ma23f98a | 07:29 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ i meant sudo apt-get install build-essential sorry | 07:29 |
| beyta | moshe, ultimate version of ubuntu? | 07:29 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: nope, guess I should do that now lol | 07:29 |
| xenos | ultimate edition of ubuntu, ...? | 07:29 |
| bazhang | dil what did you use to check the md5 | 07:29 |
| * xenos scratches head | 07:29 | |

| bazhang | xenos not supported here | 07:30 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | and i am admin i am only user on this machine, my personal comp | 07:30 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ ya do that and then try it again ./configure and see if it says the same thing | 07:30 |
| Dil | i downloaded a software | 07:30 |

| Dil | xchat-2.8.7a.exe | 07:30 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | so i've noticed lol | 07:30 |
| Dil | sorry | 07:30 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ok on ubuntu so gksudo it is | 07:31 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: ever use a mac before? | 07:31 |
| bazhang | dil why exe? this is not windows | 07:31 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 07:31 | |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nope | 07:31 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], you have quite a bit more than i do | 07:31 |
| Dil | the name is Install-winMd5Sum.exe | 07:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | went from winblows to ubuntu | 07:31 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, but i get a clean update :) | 07:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | and never looking back | 07:31 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: oh ok...i was gonna say they do it the same way...all users use sudo to get root powers | 07:31 |
| moshe_ | anyway,I am having problems configuring an ATI radion 9200 video card. | 07:31 |
| robg_ | moshe: ubuntu alternate should only be installed single boot. | 07:31 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: http://pastebin.com/m244b0ac the plot thickens | 07:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i added myself to the root group | 07:31 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: its easier to revoke sudo privs than to force the jerk you let touch the computer to somehow forget the root password :P | 07:31 |
| Shadow420 | !ATI | moshe_ | 07:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | figured that would work but still nothing | 07:31 |

| [_miT_] | peterpan, ignore the launchpad repos at the very bottom, they're commented out. i used them to install avant window nav | 07:32 |
| peterpan | [_miT_], is it safe to copy yours into mine? | 07:32 |
| Dil | hello bazhang | 07:32 |
| [_miT_] | peterpan, make a backup of yours before doing so | 07:32 |
| bazhang | dil hello | 07:32 |
| Dil | please help | 07:32 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: nah, dont add yourself to the root group | 07:32 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: ubuntu purposefully locks the root account | 07:32 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | it doesnt ask me for password, i'm the only user my password is only one lol | 07:32 |
| Dil | yes i used Install-winMd5Sum.exe to check md5sum | 07:32 |
| bazhang | dil run the check again | 07:32 |
| Shadow420 | hey bazhang | 07:32 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: well, i guess the group doesnt hurt... | 07:32 |
| jstEEz | _0tt0v0nc4t_ use sudo dumn dumn lol j/k of course you didnt run it as root thought thats why | 07:32 |
| bazhang | hey Shadow420 :) | 07:32 |
| Dil | i checked it twice | 07:32 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: that was the one above it, same error with sudo lol | 07:33 |
| maco | KRaZy_WaKa: but the root account is locked so jerks cant just assume root for username and brute force the password. theyd need to get both your user and pass to get in | 07:33 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | maco: lol didnt exactly help either | 07:33 |

| maco | Shadow420: with ipw3945 i got a great connection, could connect to networks the other kids in the room couldnt even see. with iwl3945 i see half as many networks as the crappy broadcom sees, and it can barely connect to any of them | 07:38 |

| maco | phixxor: to wait what? | 07:39 |
| Dil | my friend also requested a cd with me and he also has not got it yet | 07:39 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: rofl I actually thought about that and if it was 2:30 am I would have taken the extra step lol | 07:39 |
| phixxor | maco: I want to fall asleep to music -- so I want to use terminal to wait 30 minutes and then kill VLC | 07:39 |

| Dil | they will surely send me | 07:40 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | jstEEz: np I'll make ya feel leet again here soon enough lol | 07:40 |

| Jordan_U | Agent_bob, That is not the correct syntax | 08:25 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: hand on hart, I don't know how this will work, as the use of the nvidia driver requires a kernel module, which won't be able to be loaded from your host, so will need running int he virtual machine, and I don't know how that interaction/hardware-connection will work | 08:26 |

| ikonia | Agent_bob: heart even | 08:26 |

| amerinese | hi i've just installed ubuntu server recently... never had a server to play with before... couple questions on sharing disk space: 1) do SAMBA shares work over the internet or LAN only? 2) i want to do something like, setup 10GB for each user to use locally without restriction, allow access over the internet (sftp? or something simpler for non-techies to use?) but restrict the maximum... | 08:27 |
| amerinese | ...transfer rate. any suggestions? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: nv may be better | 08:27 |
| ikonia | amerinese: they are aimed at lan us | 08:27 |
| Agent_bob | k i'll shoot that and see what happens. | 08:27 |
| ikonia | amerinese: lan use sorry | 08:28 |
| amerinese | ikonia: okay, so samba would only be for local use | 08:28 |
| ikonia | amerinese: for network sharing you may want to consider sftp, http, something along those lines | 08:28 |
| ikonia | amerinese: samba is aimed at local use but CAN work over the internet | 08:28 |
| ikonia | amerinese: however I wouldn't use it over the internet | 08:28 |
| amerinese | ok gotcha | 08:28 |

| ikonia | Agent_bob: I didn't think you could | 08:29 |
| ikonia | amerinese: quos with iptables (not a 2 minute task setup) | 08:29 |

| Vegombrei | ikonia: i think that cd may have been made thru a windows pc | 08:33 |
| ikonia | Vegombrei: does the cd work anwhere else ? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | nonix4: you may find it easy to talk in english witht he word "computers" in staid o#puters | 08:33 |
| nonix4 | ikonia: ;) | 08:34 |
| Vegombrei | ikonia: nope .. i guess a windows pc would be able to read it | 08:34 |
| ikonia | nonix4: how lacking in disk are the other machines | 08:34 |
| ikonia | Vegombrei: I didn't ask for a guest, I asked if other machines/OS's COULD read it | 08:34 |
| nonix4 | ikonia: talking 4 gigabyte ones... so they'll run out of hd space in less than a year of (unattended) updates | 08:34 |
| ikonia | nonix4: cron it every 3 months to reduce it then | 08:34 |
| ikonia | nonix4: maybe grep out not removing kernel updates for roll backs | 08:35 |

| nonix4 | ikonia: well, given that it's a gigabit lan and the host w/ "infinite" storage available is online 24/7, having copies on all the other machines doesn't really make too much sense... | 08:36 |
| ikonia | nonix4: it does for certain situations, such as a kernel roll back, hence why I said remove everything but kernel updates | 08:36 |
| Vegombrei | blessed_guess: yes its good .. it says cannot mount volume as the system isnt supported by ubuntu | 08:36 |

| Anonona_DC | So it looks like Hardy Heron's IProute changes broke wondershaper, the basic network speed limiter that makes sure my ubuntu box doesn't max out my internet connection | 08:51 |
| Anonona_DC | anyone familiar with an alternative? or whether there is an easy fix available? | 08:52 |
| ikonia | Anonona_DC: iproute seems fine, maybe look at wondershaper as the problem ? | 08:52 |
| ikonia | Anonona_DC: look at quos with iptables as an alternative | 08:52 |

| jbroome | neil: i'm hesitant to reward your constant asking with an answer | 09:00 |
| Anonona_DC | There can only be one | 09:00 |
| Anonona_DC | It's possible to set up a "virtual machine", a piece of software that pretends it has hardware stuff behind it and emulates a computer, and run an OS off of that | 09:00 |
| dai | I really like Ubuntu but I can't stop using Windows because there are no similar programs (don't plan on using Wine either), can you run both XP and Ubuntu in parallele and shift from one to another seamlessly? | 09:01 |
| prodigel | dai: try vmware. Still I would go with wine. | 09:02 |
| Anonona_DC | for a given low value of "seamlessly" that includes either rebooting, or a virtual machine, yes :) | 09:02 |

| Anonona_DC | IMHO when you to ship a webbrowser that wasn't out of beta in the mainline distro, there's an obligation to keep it updated with every securityfix that was put off until the last minute in the development cycle | 09:21 |

| jbroome | Dil: wanna narrow that down a little? | 09:23 |

| Dil | about making friends | 09:24 |
| Dil | joining channels | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Lynet: sorry, let me clarfiy, firefox is stand alone (grab a binary pack from mozilla.org for example) however ubuntu links firefox into the gnome envionrment for better interoperability | 09:24 |
| Anonona_DC | I don't know whether we'll get an RC2 or not, but it feels a bit rushed, and I'd hazard against expecting it out in a week | 09:24 |

| Lynet | killakali408650: dhcp? | 09:26 |
| remoteCTR1 | killakali408650: dhclient eth0 | 09:26 |
| killakali408650 | dhcP? | 09:26 |
| ceoph | prodigel: because I try to run synergyc, client to share keyboard and mouse between 2 pc. I think is that why ! | 09:26 |
| remoteCTR1 | jbroome if you can tell me how to copy a directory with scp it surely is | 09:26 |
| moDumass | jbroome, no box pops up | 09:27 |
| Ambient | anyone have a quick command line wizard-spell to restore my Ubuntu loading screens, fiddling around with kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu satanic screwed them up...? | 09:27 |
| jbroome | moDumass: are you currently sitting at an ubuntu machine with a graphical desktop | 09:27 |
| killakali408650 | is there any other way i can get it 2 work? | 09:27 |
| beyta | killakali, eem,,, my ip address is given by my wireless provider... | 09:28 |

| Dil | but now cant find them | 09:28 |
| jbroome | remoteCTR1: scp -r dir/ remote: | 09:28 |
| Lynet | killakali408650: I think you might need to restate your question. Busy channel and all that, makes it hard to follow. | 09:28 |
| blankthemuffin | Hey. My Ubuntu 7.10 is being really sluggish on my PC. Much more than it should be, it can take up to 30s for a window ( terminal, gedit, etc etc ) to open or the same for a right click>ExtractHere to actually work. Once things are open they are as fast as usual. Any ideas where I could start looking? My CPU usage idles around 0-5% and my ram usage is 11% of 3Gig's | 09:28 |
| jbroome | Dil: bazhang is in the channel now. | 09:28 |
| ceoph | prodigel: I'm back in 10 minutes, sorry | 09:29 |
| yacc | Just wondering, I'd need a script that takes a file out of some directory, locks it by renaming and runs a program on it, and if that suceeds delete the file, if not rename it back? Any ideas? | 09:29 |
| ghindo | "Eject" is no longer working on my computer. When I type eject into the terminal, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15004/ | 09:29 |
| beyta | ceoph, ok... | 09:29 |
| rajalot | blankthemuffin: most likely you have some indexing going on | 09:29 |
| Dil | when u answer me my name comes before the text | 09:29 |
| Dil | how u do that | 09:29 |
| jbroome | Dil: bazhang has been idle for over an hour. look at the /whois command in your client | 09:29 |
| killakali408650 | im having trouble connecting to the wireless networks, it will ask for the passcode and when i give it the code it will ask for it over and over again and never connect lynet | 09:29 |
| liassist | does ubutnu server has a gui? | 09:29 |
| jbroome | Dil: i type your name | 09:29 |
| blankthemuffin | rajalot, where are the indexing settings to be found? | 09:29 |
| Starnestommy | Dil: put their name in the message at the start | 09:29 |
| yacc | ghindo: your cdrom is most certainly /dev/sr0 now, did you upgrade? | 09:29 |
| blankthemuffin | rajalot, nvm I looked :P | 09:30 |
| ghindo | yacc: Yes, just today | 09:30 |
| Starnestommy | Dil: or type the first couple of letters then press the tab key | 09:30 |
| Dil | jbroome : thanks | 09:30 |
| Lynet | killakali408650: You sure you have the right password? | 09:30 |
| yacc | ghindo: ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom | 09:30 |
| beyta | killakali... i have no idea for ur problem... sorry... | 09:30 |
| Dil | jbroome, thanks | 09:30 |
| remoteCTR1 | jbroome thanks mate i gott abe blind today-.- | 09:30 |
| Dil | starnestormy | 09:30 |
| Dil | ur name is long | 09:30 |
| yacc | ghindo: that rebinds /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0 | 09:30 |
| rajalot | blankthemuffin, good. try disabling it, then restart X and see if it's still sluggish :) | 09:30 |
| Dil | i will call u star | 09:30 |
| philsf | ghindo: have you tried using the hardware button? | 09:31 |
| Starnestommy | Dil: type Star then press the TAB key | 09:31 |
| killakali408650 | yes lynet i have the right password i tripple checked it too | 09:31 |
| Dil | tab is working | 09:31 |
| liassist | does ubutnu server has a gui? (can i add fluxox or openbx easily) | 09:31 |
| Dil | but the text replied to me is in red color | 09:31 |
| jbroome | liassist: it doesn't have one by default, but you can add one | 09:31 |
| philsf | liassist: no, yes | 09:31 |
| Vegombrei | ikonia: dude can you help me set up an ftp server ? | 09:31 |
| Dil | by that i came to know that the text is for me | 09:31 |
| liassist | whcih one | 09:32 |
| liassist | gnome? | 09:32 |
| Dil | how can i do that | 09:32 |
| ghindo | yacc: Thanks, that worked! What do I do if I have two CD drives on that computer? | 09:32 |
| ghindo | philsf: I'm running the option on a remote computer and just want to know it works | 09:32 |
| ikonia | Vegombrei: what up ? | 09:32 |
| Lynet | killakali408650: The first think I do when troubleshooting wireless is to turn of encryption first. Once it works without encryption I know that everything else is ok so that any problem that shows up when I turn on encryption is only related to that. | 09:32 |
| liassist | so apt-get install fluxbox | 09:32 |
| beyta | liassist, fluxbox is for what? | 09:33 |
| liassist | gui!! | 09:33 |
| WaZ` | fluxbox is a window manager | 09:33 |
| liassist | its DE too | 09:33 |
| beyta | oh.... ok... | 09:33 |
| killakali408650 | ohh turn off the encryption huh | 09:33 |
| DracoZA | How can I find out what repository a package belongs to ? | 09:33 |
| killakali408650 | i read the error log lynet | 09:33 |
| killakali408650 | it said rx wep frame, decrypt failed | 09:34 |
| blankthemuffin | rajalot, It still sees slower than my other PC ( which is much much less powerful ) but it's heaps better all the same. Down too 3s loads for pretty much everything | 09:34 |
| liassist | or can i install a previos version of gnome (which works on 256mb ram smoothy) | 09:34 |
| jbroome | DracoZA: apt-cache showpkg foo | 09:34 |
| DracoZA | tx jbroome | 09:35 |
| liassist | or can i install a previos version of gnome (which works on 256mb ram smoothy) | 09:35 |
| Vegombrei | ikonia: you see i wish to let my friends connect directly to my pc and download stuff .. it would save me the effort of burning dvds for em .. | 09:35 |
| Agent_bob | i need a driver for my nvidia card. RIVA128 real agp | 09:36 |
| k[5\5] | exit | 09:36 |
| liassist | or can i install a previos version of gnome (which works on 256mb ram smoothy) | 09:36 |
| zetheroo | does anyone have any ideas? | 09:36 |
| Lynet | killakali408650: Well, that sounds like wrong password to me. Or misconfigured encryption type (wep-64/-128, wpa, wpa-psk,...) | 09:36 |
| liassist | thanx | 09:37 |
| ceoph | prodigel: I'm back, sorry | 09:37 |
| jbroome | or hex vs ascii | 09:37 |
| prodigel | ceoph: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=48196 | 09:37 |
| prodigel | ceoph: you could find your sollution there | 09:37 |
| killakali408650 | that is weird though lynet because my other pc's use 128 weo | 09:37 |
| killakali408650 | wep* | 09:38 |
| prodigel | ceoph: haven't tried it but look pretty straighforward | 09:38 |
| killakali408650 | i even use the same password to go onto them | 09:38 |
| Lynet | killakali408650: could be ascii vs hex password. | 09:38 |
| fostot | So, why are the Banshee versions on the repositories so old? | 09:38 |
| fostot | 0.13.2 vs the latest release of 0.99.2 | 09:38 |
| killakali408650 | ascii? | 09:38 |
| DracoZA | I am trying to establish if it is entirely necessary to use Ubuntu Server as opposed to Ubuntu Desktop for a machine that is going to be sitting on the net ? | 09:38 |
| killakali408650 | windows is good when it comes to this networking stuff lol | 09:39 |
| jbroome | DracoZA: completly depends on what you want to use it for | 09:39 |
| jbroome | killakali408650: that made me pucker. | 09:39 |
| marco_ | hello | 09:39 |
| Pxrbot | Morning :) im trying to install a program via terminal, ive done what the readme says (./configure, make, make install) but no go, id be grateful for any help :) | 09:39 |
| DracoZA | jbroome, virtualbox and mail server for the moment | 09:39 |
| marco_ | i wonder if someone could help me | 09:39 |
| killakali408650 | what made you a pucker jbroome? | 09:39 |
| Lynet | killakali408650: Well.. For configuring wireless windows has the edge right now. | 09:39 |
| ghindo | Pxrbot: Are you getting any specific error messages? | 09:40 |
| fostot | Pxrbot, gotta give us more to go on than that, what program, what errors are you getting, etc :P | 09:40 |
| jbroome | DracoZA: for a mail server, you don't need a gui. I haven't used VB to know how well that works CLI only | 09:40 |
| dave12 | I want in the first spqace of each line of txt make two spaces with a command in a shell | 09:40 |
| killakali408650 | yea lol good thing i have dual booting i guess the ubuntu partition is no good when it comes to the internet connectivity | 09:40 |
| marco_ | I have a nightmare trying to install wine...... | 09:40 |
| killakali408650 | dang :( | 09:40 |
| blankthemuffin | I'm guessing if I turn off indexing of files it should increase performance by a significant amount. | 09:40 |
| blankthemuffin | of file contents even | 09:40 |
| killakali408650 | knew i was gonna have a problem with the connectivity | 09:40 |
| DracoZA | jbroome, from a security point of view is Desktop secure enough ? | 09:41 |
| ghindo | blankthemuffin: | 09:41 |
| Pxrbot | airsnort is the program, but its spurting errors i dont understand (im very new to Linux) :) il try and find something i can write downabout the errors | 09:41 |
| jbroome | DracoZA: should be | 09:41 |
| Slart | blankthemuffin: only if the trackerd is running.. once it's done indexing there shouldn't be any difference | 09:41 |
| jbroome | DracoZA: the desktop version doesn't open any more ports to the outside by default than the server version does | 09:41 |
| ghindo | Pxrbot: You can copy and past the error messages to pastebin and then link us to that | 09:41 |
| ghindo | !paste | Pxrbot | 09:42 |
| ubottu | Pxrbot: 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) | 09:42 |
| moDumass | jbroome, sorry got yanked away from machine, yes i am currently sitting at an ubuntu machine with gui | 09:42 |
| blankthemuffin | Slart, yeah, it just seems to be taking a rather long time to index. | 09:42 |
| killakali408650 | i guess i can't do much bout it | 09:42 |
| killakali408650 | oh wells | 09:42 |
| Slart | blankthemuffin: you can also limit what folders the tracker indexes.. don't let it wander off to remote drives or such | 09:42 |
| jbroome | moDumass: so when you hit alt-f2, a "run application" box doesn't come up? | 09:42 |
| DracoZA | jbroome, Ok worth a try, I have spent so much time getting to learn Desktop version without being a linux guru and now I feel like i'm starting all over again having to do everything from Terminal (which I will learn in due course) | 09:42 |
| moDumass | except after touching a panel button cant use the panels | 09:42 |
| blankthemuffin | Slart, Yeah done that too. | 09:42 |
| marco_ | can someon help me installing wine? | 09:42 |
| moDumass | jbroome, nope nothing comes up | 09:43 |
| Slart | blankthemuffin: but before you start doing drastic things.. are you sure it's the trackerd that's slowing your machine down? checked the system monitor? | 09:43 |
| ghindo | marco_ What problems are you having? | 09:43 |
| Slart | marco_: sudo apt-get install wine ... tadaaa , done | 09:43 |
| jbroome | moDumass: freaky, i got nothing then. | 09:43 |
| moDumass | haha | 09:43 |
| moDumass | thanks | 09:43 |
| marco_ | i have tried that | 09:43 |
| moDumass | i have firefox though | 09:43 |
| marco_ | It gave me a strange message | 09:43 |

| Pxrbot | heres the pastebin address for the errors of the make install http://paste.ubuntu.com/15009/ | 09:44 |
| Slart | marco_: well.. if you get a strange message you'll have to run a strange command.. if you tell me the message I might tell you the command =) | 09:44 |
| Agent_bob | is it possable to use a windows vidio driver in linux ? can ndiswrapper do that ? | 09:45 |

| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: What exactly are you trying to do? | 09:45 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp i was afraid you would say that. | 09:45 |
| Dil | jbroome : thanks | 09:45 |
| marco_ | ok | 09:46 |
| Slart | marco_: !pastebin the whole thing.. including the line where you type sudo apt-get etc.. | 09:46 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp get qemu to alow higher than 640x480x4 rez. | 09:46 |
| blankthemuffin | Okes then, that's much better. Any more perf problems I'll blame on laptop harddrive. | 09:46 |
| ghindo | Pxrbot: Did you receive any messages prior to that? | 09:46 |
| blankthemuffin | Thanks all. | 09:46 |

| ghindo | Pxrbot: Sure thing | 09:47 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp i thought maybe if i could use the same driver in xorg it would work... | 09:47 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: you're already using a driver in xorg | 09:48 |
| cngump | test | 09:48 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp yes the generic nv like i said | 09:48 |
| yacc | ghindo: good question => link /dev/cdrom1 to /dev/sr1? No idea. | 09:48 |

| jbroome | killakali408650_: well, what was it? | 09:49 |
| ghindo | yacc: Nevermind, I figured it out myself :p Thanks for your help, though! | 09:49 |
| killakali408650_ | lol hex key | 09:49 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp maybe i'd be better off using vesa in xorg ? | 09:49 |
| jbroome | hah, win! | 09:49 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp there is none. | 09:49 |
| killakali408650_ | yay | 09:49 |
| killakali408650_ | im :D | 09:49 |
| ghindo | marco_ Tryp typing into the terminal: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 09:49 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp nv is "the proper nvidia driver" ;/ | 09:49 |
| marco_ | any idea? | 09:50 |
| marco_ | ok | 09:50 |
| killakali408650_ | lol im an idiot | 09:50 |
| Pxrbot | ghindo: heres the new paste, the different install attempts were suggestions from the tech guy at uni, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15013/ this is all there is | 09:50 |
| killakali408650_ | thank you guys for all your help | 09:50 |
| n3uromanc3r | I just did the latest updates for my driver and headers on ahrdy and now I'm left with white screen once gnome-session starts | 09:50 |
| ghindo | Guillam3: Sure is! You can set up a VNC server | 09:50 |
| killakali408650_ | ubuntu rox now :D | 09:50 |
| ghindo | !vnc | Guillam3 | 09:51 |
| ubottu | Guillam3: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: no, nvidia is the proper driver | 09:51 |
| n3uromanc3r | driver is ATI | 09:51 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp can you help me install that ? | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: if you've got an nvidia card, you kind of need to use the binary driver | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | !nvidia | 09:51 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:51 |
| jbroome | Pxrbot: chmod +x install_sh | 09:51 |
| marco_ | i got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15015/ | 09:51 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp but my card is not supported other than the "nv" generic driver. | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: what kind of card is it? | 09:52 |
| Agent_bob | nvidia RIVA128 | 09:52 |
| Agent_bob | agp | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | uhm | 09:52 |
| n3uromanc3r | i think the latest updates blackilsted my ati card so now compiz fails to start and leaves me with a white screen? | 09:52 |
| n3uromanc3r | how can I test what driver is in use?! | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: ok, that *isn't* supported by the binary driver | 09:53 |
| Dil | i have to go | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: basically you need a card from this century | 09:53 |
| Dil | thanks for all ur help | 09:53 |
| Dil | see ya | 09:53 |
| Pxrbot | jbroome: chmod: cannot access `install_sh': No such file or directory comes up, should i change directory? | 09:53 |
| jbroome | Agent_bob: or a little later in the last century | 09:53 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp heh. finished correcting me yet ? lol | 09:53 |
| jbroome | Pxrbot: you should be in the directory with install_sh when you run that command, yes | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | Agent_bob: without wanting to seem unduly harsh, that card *is* ten years old | 09:53 |
| Slart | marco_: can you paste the contents of your /etc/apt/source.list | 09:53 |
| ghindo | marco_: Try "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" If that doesn't work, go to Synaptic -> Edit -> Fix Broken Packages | 09:54 |
| Agent_bob | gordonjcp so is the computer it's in. | 09:54 |
| Agent_bob | so ? | 09:54 |
| Gr3yW0lf | whats the card details Agent_bob? | 09:54 |
| marco_ | hold on a second ill try that | 09:54 |
| Agent_bob | Gr3yW0lf agp 2x 16m mem | 09:54 |
| Gr3yW0lf | Agent_bob, you have the chip name or card retail name? | 09:55 |
| Bracki | How do I upgrade from e.g. SuSE to Ubuntu but keep my RAID and /home? | 09:55 |
| Agent_bob | Gr3yW0lf riva128 | 09:55 |
| jbroome | isn't there a riva driver? | 09:56 |
| Agent_bob | Gr3yW0lf nvidia sorry if you didn't catch that eariler | 09:56 |
| caper1 | Hi guys | 09:56 |
| passbe | does anyone know how to re-label a secondary harddrive. i have it mounting to /media/storage however on the desktop its label is 320.1GB media | 09:56 |
| beyta | caper1 hye... | 09:56 |
| ghindo | Bracki: I don't think you can unless your /home is on a separate partition. :/ Don't take my word for it, though | 09:56 |
| Gr3yW0lf | no i got that Agent_bob :).. you have tried the legacy nvidia binary driver? | 09:57 |
| caper1 | :) | 09:57 |
| Agent_bob | Gr3yW0lf yeah. | 09:57 |
| n3uromanc3r | just did the latest updates on hardy and now i get a white screen after gnome-session starts. the update was for the ati flgrx driver and the linux headers. I think it blacklisted my card as glxinfo | grep direct - returns NO. how can I test what driver is in use. with compiz trying to load on startup would that leave me with a white screen? | 09:57 |
| Slart | passbe: set the label for the drive.. if it's ext3 I think there is a ext3label program | 09:57 |
| Agent_bob | Gr3yW0lf it works for the pci riva chips but not the true agp chips | 09:57 |
| marco_ | ok i got more errors | 09:58 |
| marco_ | go to : | 09:58 |
| * n3uromanc3r would like to know who to beat with a large stick after mucking up his system with the latest updates. | 09:58 | |

| n3uromanc3r | jatt: the bug appears to be ubuntu. I keep convincing friends that ubuntu is ready for the mainstream. lol. why do I keep kidding myself | 10:08 |
| jatt | n3uromanc3r: you can also stick to a LTS version. I use Dapper since years without upgrading to another release and works as I expect. | 10:08 |

| n3uromanc3r | I am an avid supporter of open source, don't get me wrong, but this is the reason why people jump ship | 10:10 |
| billybongo | lw0x15: memtest or similar | 10:10 |

| lw0x15 | ok | 10:10 |

| jbroome | *hardy package | 10:11 |
| xim | i just hate spending 3 hours a day dealing with a list of problems ongoing forever and ever and thats what you have to commit to to use linux | 10:11 |
| billybongo | frequent crashes in any OS are often attributable to memory errors | 10:11 |
| ghindo | Pxrbot: What happens when you type in "sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8"? | 10:11 |
| prodigel | ceoph: what problem? | 10:11 |
| marco_ | i just want to run few .exe here | 10:11 |
| n3uromanc3r | take a look at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/m44a8252d - it states WW) fglrx(0): could not detect X server version (query_status=-3) which means fglrx is broken. | 10:11 |
| jatt | gnu/linux has evolved a lot, ten years ago there was no near support or tools like today to install gnu/linux, you are lucky to use it now :) | 10:11 |
| marco_ | but dont know ... | 10:11 |
| gordonjcp | billybongo: that or overheating | 10:11 |
| robokop | i have mathematica .nb files, what program can i use to read them (free) | 10:12 |
| ceoph | prodigel: synergy app is bugged. To run it correctly, you must start it with root priv. Or if you use gdm conf files, all script runs after logging are under user identity. | 10:12 |
| jatt | (e.g. old slackware and yggdrasil distros). | 10:12 |
| jbroome | marco_: change that wine.budgetdedicated.com line to gutsy, and you should be in business | 10:12 |
| marco_ | i tried different version of wine but its always the same problem with that broken packages | 10:12 |
| philsf | marco_: if you use the wine that's packaged into ubuntu, you won't have this problem | 10:12 |
| ceoph | So how can I run after session login (gdm) a script with root priv, without typping sudo password ? | 10:12 |
| Pxrbot | ghindo: E: Malformed line 77 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) E: The list of sources could not be read. comes up | 10:12 |
| babo | ffmpeg from mediaubuntu doesn't come with faad support ? | 10:13 |

| n3uromanc3r | jatt: you have stuck to one LTS so you wouldn't see the alarming trend of completely changing the way ubuntu works that has been implemented. I now dread updating to a new version as it has great benefits but you will be LOST | 10:13 |
| marco_ | which version is the suitable for ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| jbroome | marco_: for the version you're running, gutsy | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: why would he be lost? | 10:14 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: nothing is particularly different | 10:14 |
| nomopofomo | Hi, I'm having a problem with VLC outputting center channel audio to my left speaker ;( | 10:14 |
| philsf | marco_: you should in the very least use the package that is meant to run in your version of ubuntu (gutsy, not hardy) | 10:14 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: i disagree | 10:14 |
| philsf | how did you add wine's repository? | 10:14 |
| prodigel | ceoph: one quick sollution would be to suid your app | 10:14 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: <shrug> | 10:14 |
| prodigel | ceoph: but that's a potential security risk | 10:14 |
| marco_ | ok i will go to the webpoage of wine hq to get that gutsy v. ok | 10:14 |
| philsf | marco_: you also have to remove the one you have, otherwise it will get precedence | 10:15 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: take the new xorg.conf layout has cryptic entries like "Device"Configured Video Device"" how do I get access to more detailed information? this is different no?! | 10:15 |
| jbroome | marco_: you could alter your /etc/apt/sources | 10:15 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: it's not different at all | 10:15 |
| marco_ | how do i remove it? | 10:15 |

| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: if you can't be bothered to learn how to do it properly, do it the old way | 10:26 |

Did i perhaps prepare the bootable usb stick incorrectly? | 10:31 |
| melch | philsf: can u tell me what eeprom is? | 10:31 |
| Peppery` | philsf: should I be doing something differently? | 10:31 |
| philsf | Peppery`: don't know, you didn't tell me what you did | 10:31 |
| jscinoz | melch electronically erasable programmable read only memory i believe | 10:31 |
| jbroome | Peppery`: you need to tell fdisk which partition to check. | 10:31 |
| Peppery` | philsf: just fsck | 10:31 |
| Peppery` | so, fsck /dev/sda ? | 10:31 |
| philsf | melch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM | 10:31 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: looks liek the kernel module isn't available | 10:32 |
| jbroome | Peppery`: that's a drive | 10:32 |
| jbroome | melch: it's hardware that seems to be FUBAR | 10:32 |
| Peppery` | jbroome: /dev/sda1? | 10:32 |
| melch | jbroome: works in windows | 10:32 |
| philsf | Peppery`: are you using the same computer now? | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: hm, that's odd | 10:32 |
| jbroome | Peppery`: that is indeed a partition, i don't know what that's mounted as on your machine. | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: is it a very old card? | 10:32 |
| wangfg | anybody knows how to config the wpa2 in wlan? | 10:32 |
| philsf | Peppery`: please paste the results of "sudo fdisk -l" | 10:33 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: If i install ubuntu on a friends laptop, a friend who knows nothing and doesn't want to learn then having it work one day and not the next is very bad form no? it would put them off. agreed? | 10:33 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: x880 xt so yeah sorta | 10:33 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: x800 sorry | 10:33 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: no, because if you haven't messed about with the config it won't break | 10:33 |
| Peppery` | PhilKC: /dev/sda1 * 1 486 3903763+ 83 Linux | 10:33 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: its an old ati agp card | 10:34 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: I can honestly say I haven't touched a thing | 10:34 |
| Peppery` | philsf: no, different computer | 10:34 |
| Peppery` | jbroome: that is what it is mounted as | 10:34 |
| philsf | Peppery`: the computer you're trying to fix is in single user now? | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | n3uromanc3r: odd, I've got an ATI card in my laptop and it's absolutely fine | 10:34 |
| osfameron | dammit, I've managed to break various apps by uninstalling some library. Is there a classic method for resolving this? | 10:35 |
| Peppery` | philsf: yes | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | osfameron: reinstall the library? | 10:35 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: I recently reinstalled and haven't even rolled back from the backup | 10:35 |
| osfameron | dammit, even uninstalling and reinstalling quodlibet, it's still broken | 10:35 |
| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: just installed codecs and driver | 10:35 |
| osfameron | gordonjcp: yeah, but I don't know which one. And shouldn't installing the app magically pull in the correct library? | 10:35 |

| n3uromanc3r | gordonjcp: should have gone pretty smooth as there has been no tinkering under the hood (yet!) | 10:36 |
| thomas_a | hello everyone | 10:36 |
| osfameron | gordonjcp: should I just uninstall libpng and reinstall? | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | osfameron: o_O | 10:36 |
| philsf | Peppery`: what is the exact command you issued that gave the warning? | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | osfameron: yeah, that would be my first attempt | 10:36 |

| * osfameron tries reinstalling libpng1.2... | 10:37 | |
| Peppery` | that works | 10:37 |
| philsf | Peppery`: sorry, umount /dev/sda1 | 10:37 |
| osfameron | hmm, that doesn't work | 10:37 |
| Peppery` | philsf: I assumed you meant that | 10:37 |

| n3uromanc3r | erUSUL: I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-generic | 11:07 |

| koshari | evilsherpa there called panels | 11:09 |
| evilsherpa | i know, sorry ive been saying panels for ages and no one reacted so i thought that i may be mistaken | 11:09 |
| koshari | evilsherpa you could try cont alt backspace to restart the x session | 11:10 |
| evilsherpa | but yeh, i added clock and calander to one of my panels but if i click on it my panels stop reacting | 11:10 |
| evilsherpa | koshari, i have to hard reboot everytime to get it back, restarting x restarts it without any panels at all | 11:10 |
| === sivchand is now known as TheOne | ||

| koshari | evilsherpa looks like something is amiss there.... | 11:11 |
| evilsherpa | indeed there is | 11:11 |
| koshari | evilsherpa can you delete the panel and create a new one? | 11:11 |
| evilsherpa | i deleted the sunbird dir from my /opt/ dir | 11:11 |
| evilsherpa | koshari ive done that too | 11:12 |
| evilsherpa | and everything works perfectly until i touch the clock | 11:12 |
| evilsherpa | and unfortunately i do that quite often | 11:12 |
| koshari | evilsherpa kill the clock then | 11:12 |
| === zak2 is now known as llama32 | ||
| evilsherpa | so i thought i might reinstall sunbird | 11:12 |
| evilsherpa | koshari no, thats not fixing it | 11:13 |
| evilsherpa | thats just ignoring it | 11:13 |
| koshari | evilsherpa whats sunbird got to do with it | 11:13 |
| evilsherpa | the folder that i deleted was the sunbird dir (sunbird is mozillas calendar application) | 11:13 |
| koshari | evilsherpa clock version Clock 2.22.1.3? | 11:14 |
| evilsherpa | and i think the calendar had somehow integrated with the desktop calendar, | 11:14 |
| evilsherpa | koshari how would i tell? | 11:14 |
| koshari | evilsherpa are you talking the default gnome clock or the sunbird calender? | 11:14 |
| evilsherpa | koshari, im talking about the default clock, which i would click 1nce to access the calendar | 11:15 |
| evilsherpa | and i think when i deleted the sunbird dir in /opt/ i somehow destroyed something | 11:15 |
| koshari | evilsherpa ok then again whats this got to fdo with sunbird? | 11:15 |
| evilsherpa | when i click the clock 1nce now it doesnt call up sunbird like it used to, now it freeses my whole pannel | 11:16 |
| ceil420 | is there something like a net install version of ubuntu where i can pick and choose packages to be installed? is that what the 'alternate install' disc is? | 11:18 |
| magnetron | !minimal | ceil420 | 11:19 |
| ubottu | ceil420: 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 | 11:19 |
| evilsherpa | so im not sure but i would think that whatever calls sunbird is not finding sunbird and may be spazzing out | 11:19 |
| ceil420 | cheers | 11:19 |

| Slasher` | hi all, i was wondering if someone could give me a hand... i installed apache2 and completely buggered it up so i did an apt-get remove and removed the apache2 directory in /etc/... now when i reinstall apache2 via apt i cant get it back... is there any way i can get the apache2 directory back? | 11:31 |
| ick | Slasher`: that depends on the file system. | 11:32 |
| sree | my epson stylus c45 printer is not printing black | 11:32 |
| Slasher` | well, i think its ext3... its ubuntu server 7.10 | 11:32 |
| magnetron | Slasher`: maybe you want to do a "sudo apt-get purge apache2" | 11:33 |
| Slasher` | ok i'll try that, thanks magnetron | 11:33 |
| ick | Slasher`: .... | 11:33 |
| magnetron | Slasher`: purge does a complete removal, including the settings files | 11:33 |
| ick | Slasher`: you should explain your problem better, because you are getting odd instructions. | 11:33 |
| Slasher` | i did it with --purge before, is that just the same as purge? | 11:33 |
| Slasher` | sorry ick | 11:33 |
| European-African | magnetron? are you the same guy how helped me on the puppy forum? | 11:34 |
| Slasher` | i installed apache2.. played about with some stuff and totally messed it all up so i uninstalled it and removed /etc/apache2 | 11:34 |
| ick | Slasher`: there are some recovery tools for Windows, but they are targeted at ext2 and they don't work too good. | 11:34 |
| Slasher` | now when i apt-get install apache2 i cant get /etc/apache2 back for some reason | 11:34 |
| magnetron | no European-African, i don | 11:34 |
| ick | Slasher`: what's your definition of "back"? | 11:34 |
| magnetron | European-African: i don't do forums | 11:34 |
| ick | Slasher`: when you delete a file, it's gone, generally. | 11:34 |
| Slasher` | get the directory back with the default settings in it | 11:35 |
| ick | Slasher`: that is easy. | 11:35 |
| European-African | magnetron: sorry, I meant irc! | 11:35 |
| Slasher` | so i can try again at setting it up | 11:35 |
| ick | Slasher`: if you already removed the package, just reinstall it. | 11:35 |
| Servarium | sure you do | 11:35 |
| Slasher` | i tried but it doesn't put the apache2 folder in /etc again | 11:36 |
| magnetron | European-African: i'm not in the puppylinux channels either. it must have been someone else | 11:36 |

| ick | I got disconnected by nvidia drivers... | 11:38 |
| European-African | nvidia drivers? | 11:38 |
| magnetron | European-African: no, but it has all the good ones :D Most of them in fact. use the CCSM tool to configure them | 11:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | It's like gremlins on the plane. | 11:38 |
| ick | Yes, they are drivers for a relatively old nvidia card. | 11:38 |
| European-African | magnetron: ok | 11:38 |
| ick | The card still works perfectly on Windows, but I didn't "upgrade" the drivers there. | 11:39 |
| European-African | ick: and they turn of your connections! | 11:39 |
| magnetron | !ccsm > European-African | 11:39 |
| ick | European-African: nvidia crash -> X crash -> irssi session lost. | 11:39 |
| magnetron | ick: maybe you would like a screen session with that? | 11:40 |
| European-African | magnetron: I know about ccsm, that's where I found out that the is not that addon that has the fish in the middle of the cube! | 11:40 |

| bazhang | Vegombrei, sounds like a hardware issue; I would have it looked at. | 11:42 |
| Vegombrei | magnetron: doesnt anyone have a solution for this ?? im quite bummed out man | 11:42 |
| ick | magnetron: yes, but I don | 11:42 |
| ick | magnetron: 't really want to do that for every program I use. | 11:42 |

| sree_ | magnetron: its new and 100% full. | 11:42 |
| frojnd | I don't wanna to extract files but to zip them | 11:42 |
| magnetron | Vegombrei: if anyone knows the answer, they will answer you. wait at least 15 minutes before repeating your question. | 11:43 |
| magnetron | sree_: i see | 11:43 |
| European-African | sree_: I had the same problem with a brand new cartridge, and I found this sticker they put on screw. It was covering the hole. I spent days trying to figure out what it was! :) | 11:43 |
| Vegombrei | bazhang: not a hardware issue bro .. its just that i wanted to mount dvd-ram disks and so did some adjustments to it a while ago and succeded in making it r/w dvd-ram disks .. but now i cant get it to read normal disks | 11:43 |
| frojnd | anyone? | 11:43 |
| bazhang | Vegombrei, no idea then, sorry | 11:43 |
| aegzor1 | hi, i'm having some problems installing 8.04 desktop | 11:43 |
| magnetron | Vegombrei: if you'd like a better answer, it would hep if you told the channel what "adjustments" you did | 11:44 |
| aegzor1 | it hangs after language selection, or rather keyboard layout | 11:44 |
| sree_ | European-African: but it prints fine in Windows XP | 11:44 |
| Baron1984 | alright, does anyone here have a Logitech Premium USB Headset/Microphone 350 | 11:44 |
| European-African | oh well, just a thought! | 11:44 |
| aegzor1 | it's on an asus p4p800, with a p4 northwood and radeon 9600xt | 11:44 |
| Baron1984 | I am lost | 11:44 |
| aegzor1 | i get a really weird error code also | 11:45 |
| Vegombrei | i remember adding some lines to some gedit text thing to make it work with dvd ram .. saw it in a forum .. now i dont remember what i exactly did to undo it is why im asking here if there's a way to reset it somehow | 11:45 |
| aegzor1 | ??? 4096 2146798080 2146798080 ??? <-- that's the error code | 11:45 |
| ick | aegzor1: there are no weird error codes, just error codes. | 11:45 |
| aegzor1 | hehe | 11:46 |
| aegzor1 | swedish keyboard, if that's significant | 11:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | what's a dvd ram disk? | 11:46 |

| ubottu | Baron1984: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:46 |
| aegzor1 | dmesg shows no errors as far as i can tell | 11:46 |
| sree_ | magnetron: I'm using the default CUPS+gutenprint driver any problem with that? | 11:47 |
| ick | I mean: you don't just get that number in your screen. | 11:47 |
| ick | There should be something like: the following error occured in this or that component. | 11:47 |
| aegzor1 | well yeah, that's all i got | 11:47 |
| Baron1984 | ok, Ubuntu sees the headset as a USB sound card, the output to it works in the sound preferences applet, but all sound is still directed through the speakers | 11:48 |
| aegzor1 | does the installer have a log i can check in term? | 11:48 |
| ick | aegzor1: are you installing? | 11:48 |
| aegzor1 | yeah, writing this from the installer disc | 11:48 |
| ick | aegzor1: so there is no crash? | 11:49 |
| ick | aegzor1: i.e. system crash | 11:49 |
| aegzor1 | no | 11:49 |
| ick | aegzor1: just a driver crash? | 11:49 |
| aegzor1 | just hangs and then error msg | 11:49 |
| aegzor1 | and now i can't close the installer app | 11:49 |

| ick | aegzor1: only people with the exact same problem or developers of that component can help you now, I suppose. | 11:50 |
| Vegombrei | whats the command that would show me the text file with the config of my dvd drive .. im quite sure if is see that file ill remember what i did and could prolly undo it | 11:50 |

| norbi | Hello, I have just received an update, which also included a new kernel image( I assume ). Now when I boot up I still have the old image 2.6.24-16. Is it safe to remove this? Is there a special way of removing it? Other than going to Add/Remove? | 11:52 |
| koshari | norbi why would you want to , do you need the hard drive space? | 11:52 |
| todd | !paste | 11:52 |
| 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) | 11:52 |
| ick | norbi: remove the package and then entry in grub also gets deleted. It's not a smart thing to do, however. | 11:53 |
| jakesmith | no...? | 11:53 |
| Neulingg | i know that i have an internal and external ip address if someone tries to scan ports on my computer he can just scan ports of my router is this correct? | 11:53 |

| aegzor1 | i get some errors about fd0, i'm guessing that's floppy? | 11:54 |
| norbi | koshari, ick: No I have enough space, that's not a problem. Only been using Linux for about a month and I am not sure how often these updates come down. If it's often, then I can see me having 20 different versions each with a grub entry. Which would be a bit confusing. But I guess having at least two is not a bad idea as you guys said. | 11:55 |

| seanw | Hello all, I'm doing a fresh install of Hardy, but the installer hangs after apparently loading the partitioner (but it doens't appear, the progress bar just goes to 100). | 12:00 |
| Slasher` | but someone would have to confirm that | 12:00 |
| seanw | Any ideas? | 12:00 |
| Vegombrei | ArthurArchnix: i dont remember dude .. was like a week ago and i was a bit stoned i guess when i did that hehehe .. i dont remeber what i did but i do know my drive can read write and format dvd-ram disks now | 12:01 |
| Brian23 | could someone please help me with a Mythbuntu problem | 12:01 |
| Brian23 | it doesnt seem to be able to nstall wen get to the splash screen | 12:01 |
| Neulingg | seanw: have the same problem | 12:01 |
| freak | hmm | 12:01 |
| suspended_animat | slasher, I get the error ntfs-3gL failed to access volume '/dev/hda1' no such file or directory | 12:01 |
| seanw | Neulingg, I was thinking of trying the alternate installer | 12:01 |
| suspended_animat | ntfs-3g sorry, not ntfs-3gL | 12:02 |
| Brian23 | i press enter on the option and just stays there | 12:02 |
| Brian23 | and does nothing | 12:02 |
| Brian23 | but can still moved the arrows up and down | 12:02 |
| Neulingg | seanw: didnt work neigher i try to update from 7, | 12:02 |
| Neulingg | 7,10 | 12:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | Vegombrei: Chances are you used google. Why don't you pretend you need to get it working. Try not to think. Maybe eat some chips. I think that will be faster in the end that asking here, since no one, at the moment, seems to have an answer to your question. | 12:02 |
| koshari | suspended_animat that wuld depend on if YOUR partition was hd01 | 12:02 |
| Gr3yW0lf | suspended_animat, do you have serial ata or paralel ata disk? | 12:02 |
| === fophillipse is now known as fophillips | ||
| suspended_animat | it's IDE | 12:03 |
| norbi | koshari, ick: Thanks for your help. | 12:03 |
| Slasher` | suspended_animat; you could try hda or hdb instead of hda1 or | 12:03 |
| Neulingg | suspended_animat: yes try with hda instead of hda1 | 12:04 |
| suspended_animat | slasher, no such file or directory again, I know that it's sda1 I need to access, but when I try that it says no such file or directory again | 12:05 |
| Gr3yW0lf | suspended_animat, try listing out everything in /dev that begins with hd ... or sd | 12:05 |
| Neulingg | suspended_animat: sda then | 12:05 |
| Gr3yW0lf | ls /dev/hd* .. or ls /dev/sd* | 12:05 |
| suspended_animat | sorry I screwed it up and when I typed sda1, it says operation not supported and has told me that NTFS is in use again | 12:06 |
| suspended_animat | when I typed the command in correctly I mean | 12:06 |
| Neulingg | suspended_animat: try with sda for me it worked | 12:06 |
| suspended_animat | just sda on it's own? | 12:06 |
| Neulingg | suspended_animat: yes | 12:07 |

| Brian23 | i when i boot off the cd | 12:10 |
| Brian23 | i see the boot screen | 12:10 |
| Neulingg | suspended_animat: well its mounted then | 12:10 |
| Brian23 | but wen i select one of the options | 12:10 |
| Brian23 | nothing happens | 12:10 |
| Vegombrei | ArthurArchnix: im new to linux .. been a couple weeks .. im quite confused | 12:11 |
| suspended_animat | neulingg, when I try and force open the drive using mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force it says that "only root can do that" | 12:11 |
| Gr3yW0lf | suspended_animat, try 'umount /dev/sda' then try again | 12:11 |
| Brian23 | ans i like i can just keep selectingthe options | 12:11 |
| bazhang | Brian23, type it all on one line without hitting the enter key every two words thanks | 12:11 |
| Neulingg | suspended_animat: need to add sudo | 12:11 |
| Brian23 | k | 12:11 |
| Vegombrei | isnt there a command line that shows me the properties of my optical drive ? and where i could edit it ? | 12:11 |
| HardyHuman | short question, hoping for short answer. Gonna flush the hd and partition for dual boot Hardy XP | 12:11 |
| koshari | Vegombrei hal-device | 12:12 |
| HardyHuman | whats the best way | 12:12 |
| bazhang | Brian23, select one of the options then hit enter; if that does not work the iso may be corrupt | 12:12 |
| bazhang | HardyHuman, install xp first | 12:12 |

| HardyHuman | what program should I let handle partitioning | 12:12 |
| adam7 | !hardware | K-4U | 12:13 |
| ubottu | K-4U: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 12:13 |
| koshari | K-4U what are the cpu/ram specs | 12:13 |
| Brian23 | correct | 12:13 |
| HardyHuman | actually I have a ton of partition questions | 12:13 |
| HardyHuman | lol | 12:13 |
| Neulingg | K-4U:sure | 12:13 |
| Brian23 | only options that work is boot off hard disk and mem test | 12:13 |
| bazhang | HardyHuman, the ubuntu installer will pick up the xp install and let you resze the partition (if you wish) then include xp on the grub list | 12:13 |
| koshari | Vegombrei what do you want to edit? | 12:13 |
| HardyHuman | right | 12:13 |
| suspended_animat | neulingg, when I added sudo, it's now saying that the /media/disk file or directory doesn't exist | 12:13 |
| HardyHuman | I"ve restored grub before a few times | 12:13 |
| K-4U | Neulingg: Because now... every time i start Ubuntu from the live diskk.. the Caps-lock and scroll-lock leds keep blinking | 12:13 |
| HardyHuman | fun stuff | 12:13 |
| bazhang | HardyHuman, unless you want to manually partition in which case you may want to set up a separate /home partition for your ubuntu install | 12:14 |
| HardyHuman | I intend to | 12:14 |
| adam7 | K-4U: that would be a kernel panic -- make sure you burned the cd properly (there should be a check disk option when you boot) | 12:14 |
| HardyHuman | NTFS 15GIG 15GIG Hardy | 12:14 |

| bazhang | Brian23, did you check the md5 of the iso you burned? what about doing an integrity check on the disk? while you are asking here you should also drop a question in #ubuntu-mythtv as well. | 12:16 |

| bazhang | Brian23, then md5sum the iso, and do an integrity check on the disk as well as re-burning the disk at a really low speed and see if you get the same results. | 12:17 |

| LSD|Ninja | ... | 12:20 |
| harpreet_ | bazhang, how do i do that? | 12:20 |
| K-4U | adam7: nothing came? | 12:20 |
| ubottu | K-4U: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 12:20 |
| harpreet_ | bazhang, i know how to run commands in windows but in linux i dont know much | 12:20 |
| adam7 | K-4U: just did :) | 12:20 |
| K-4U | oh.. wow, slow bot :P | 12:20 |
| robg_ | iv: releases.ubuntu.com | 12:20 |

| harpreet_ | bazhang, what are commands for ipconfig, release, renew? | 12:21 |
| adam7 | I know that, ubottu :P | 12:21 |
| harpreet_ | thank you bazhang | 12:21 |
| adam7 | harpreet_: ifconfig, dhclient | 12:21 |
| K-4U | adam7: are those the only devices supported? :| | 12:21 |
| LSD|Ninja | K-4U: without knowing what chip is on it we can't really help you. If it's Atheros though, you should be golden | 12:21 |
| adam7 | K-4U: no idea. if you give us the chip, we can help you out | 12:21 |
| K-4U | LSD|Ninja & adam7: How to find out (A) | 12:22 |
| koshari | Vegombrei dont know if its normal, my 8.04 one is /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 12:22 |
| adam7 | K-4U: lspci should do it | 12:22 |
| adam7 | harpreet_: dhclient will get you a lease, and dhclient -r will release it. ipconfig will show you connection info, and iwconfig will show wireless info. | 12:22 |
| erUSUL | iv_: check /usr/share/doc/packagename/* for license of each package | 12:22 |
| bazhang | ifconfig not ipconfig | 12:22 |
| harpreet_ | adam7, understood sir | 12:22 |
| K-4U | adam7: i have no working ubuntu distro at hand right now... my server is in dpkg --reconfigure, and my laptop just failed 1 file on the 8.04 cd... | 12:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | K-4U: if you don't have it in a Linux machine then googling the model and *exact* revision (different revisions of the same card can and do have differetn chips) should help | 12:22 |
| Vegombrei | koshari: i guess its the rw .. ill try removing that .. and get back to u | 12:23 |
| iv_ | robg_: thanks - but i mean a licence only | 12:23 |
| reenignEesreveR | whats the most convenient and user friendly way of forwarding a port on a ubuntu machine? | 12:23 |
| robg_ | iv: I believe it is offered free of charge. | 12:23 |
| Brian23 | is anyone familiar with LinuxMCE? | 12:23 |
| koshari | Vegombrei it stands to reason you cannot mount an optical disc read write! | 12:23 |
| iv_ | erUSUL: no such thing as a licence for whole ubuntu? | 12:23 |
| adam7 | iv_: each piece of software in ubuntu has its own license | 12:24 |
| Pici | iv_: No, Ubuntu is merely the sum of its parts | 12:24 |
| iv_ | it's free.. i must be sure for 101% to use it in an office | 12:24 |
| Pici | iv_: It is. | 12:24 |
| Vegombrei | koshari: yeah but in case of dvd ram its gotta be read write | 12:24 |
| adam7 | iv_: *most* of it is GPL or LGPL or similar, though | 12:24 |
| erUSUL | iv_: it is impossible every program has its own license. GPL MIT BSD etc | 12:24 |
| iv_ | ok, get it | 12:24 |
| Vegombrei | koshari: it worked !!!! | 12:24 |
| erUSUL | iv_: and you have to respect it you can not relicense all ubuntu | 12:24 |
| robg_ | iv: the structure is open source but you dress it up with restricted drivers which are commercial. | 12:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | K-4U: It doesn't have to be Ubuntu specifically, most Live Linux distros will have lspci | 12:25 |

| K-4U | LSD|Ninja: I can't get IN linux :| that's the problem... | 12:25 |
| iv_ | thanks a lot - that all i need to know :) | 12:25 |
| adam7 | iv_: as long as you use only the main repo, you'll definitely be fine. the software in universe is all free to, and multiverse isn't (someone correct me if I have that wrong) | 12:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | K-4U: not even from a LiveCD? | 12:26 |
| magnus__1 | Who should i set as owner of my disk? | 12:26 |
| K-4U | LSD|Ninja: No.. the live cd fails... better burn it again at low speed... | 12:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | K-4U: It doesn't have to be current, if your 8.04 disc doesn't work use the 7.10 one instead | 12:26 |
| erUSUL | adam7: multiverse has patent problems not license problems | 12:26 |
| adam7 | erUSUL: ah, ok :) I knew it was something like that | 12:26 |
| K-4U | LSD|Ninja: Even THAT one won't work... that's the problem:S | 12:26 |
| erUSUL | adam7: and depends on the country you live in | 12:26 |
| robg_ | adam7: to get reasonable graphics you need Sun Java which is a comemrcial product. | 12:26 |

| koshari | ***adam7 is confused +1 | 12:27 |
| wangfg | what is your problem? | 12:27 |
| robg_ | robg: the open source products comes with OpenJDK which is ugly so you want to change that to Sun Java which is nice. | 12:27 |
| Vegombrei | koshari: how do i backup the original ?? ive already made changes | 12:28 |
| nisse | It woun't find the wireless network | 12:28 |
| LSD|Ninja | K-4U: Do you have working Linux LIveCDs? Any will do, it doesn't strictly have to be Ubuntu | 12:28 |

| magnus__1 | LSD|Ninja: LoL joker | 12:30 |
| Vegombrei | HardyHuman: whats a root password ? | 12:31 |
| HardyHuman | 0.o | 12:31 |
| magnus__1 | OK: who should own my disk? | 12:31 |
| gordonjcp | wangfg: in the wireless network manager, presumably | 12:31 |
| LSD|Ninja | wangfg: you should be able to just pick the WPA2 network out of hte list and enter the key the same way as with WPA, WEP or whatever | 12:31 |
| adam7 | magnus__1: you, probably? | 12:31 |
| magnus__1 | adam7: i mean root or the user= I ? | 12:31 |
| gordonjcp | magnus__1: that depends | 12:32 |
| magnus__1 | gordonjcp: on what? | 12:32 |
| gordonjcp | magnus__1: on what part of the disk you're talking about | 12:32 |
| adam7 | magnus__1: oh :D I was confused, sorry. probably root for security reasons, although gordonjcp might have a good reason otherwise... | 12:32 |
| Vegombrei | HardyHuman: hey how do i know whats my root password ? | 12:32 |
| koshari | magnus__1 i would say there is likely a group called disks | 12:32 |
| adam7 | Vegombrei: there isn't one in Ubuntu, although you can create one | 12:32 |
| adam7 | !sudo | Vegombrei | 12:32 |
| ubottu | Vegombrei: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 12:32 |
| gordonjcp | Vegombrei: Ubuntu has no root password defined as standard | 12:32 |
| Vegombrei | oh ok thanks | 12:33 |
| wangfg | LSD|Ninja: problem is that there is no such item in list in nm | 12:33 |
| Pici | And a locked root account. | 12:33 |
| magnus__1 | gordonjcp: the whole disk mounted in /media... | 12:33 |
| magnus__1 | gordonjcp: its just shared stuff on it | 12:33 |
| puckman | Hello | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | yup | 12:33 |
| magnus__1 | koshari: whats that group for | 12:33 |
| puckman | I just installed ubuntu 8 for a friend on a Thinkpad T41 and there is no sound? | 12:34 |
| puckman | Does it need a seperate driver? | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | wangfg: then you can't pick up that network | 12:34 |
| knifepoint | Is it possible to remove pulse audio from hardy? | 12:34 |
| * dougsko solved his problem. encfs mounts have different permissions after all | 12:34 | |
| chronographer | hello where does kaffeine store its settings? | 12:34 |
| puckman | I installed ubuntu many times on my old x31 which was fine | 12:34 |
| bazzieb | i am using my Ubuntu 7.10 machine as file server on my windows network. Is there virus protection available(for Linux) that will be able to still keep my exe's safe? | 12:34 |
| adam7 | knifepoint: yep -- the question is, why do you need to? :P | 12:34 |
| wangfg | gordonjcp: there is no such choice in the list,but there is wireless lan | 12:34 |
| adam7 | bazzieb: yep | 12:34 |
| adam7 | !antivirus | bazzieb | 12:34 |
| ubottu | bazzieb: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 12:34 |
| bazzieb | sweet | 12:35 |
| wangfg | gordonjcp: like wep | 12:35 |
| dave12 | I sync the / in other pc with rsync | 12:35 |
| puckman | Can anyone help me to get sound working on an T41? | 12:35 |
| bazzieb | been a help as always | 12:35 |
| chronographer | use grsync its easier | 12:35 |
| magnus__1 | adam7: what security reasons? | 12:35 |
| adam7 | bazzieb: scanning windows exes is about the only purpose of virus scanners in linux. | 12:35 |
| chronographer | where does kaffeine store its settings? its noe ~/.kaffeine | 12:35 |
| gordonjcp | wangfg: use wpa | 12:35 |
| dave12 | but in the log appears kernel: [ 487.605588] atl1 0000:04:00.0: tx busy | 12:35 |
| wangfg | gordonjcp: why? if i missing something | 12:35 |
| knifepoint | adam7: because even when i change all the defaults to alsa. programs eg. mplayer, totem, vlc all default to pulse audio. And for some reason pulse audio sounds terrible compared to the standard alsa | 12:36 |
| koshari | magnus__1: i dont know i was guessing, a lot of hardware is owned by groups such as scanners ect, and to access them you become a mamber of the group, its a way of letting multile users access control to certain hardware. | 12:36 |
| adam7 | magnus__1: if you're talking about the device nodes (the stuff in /dev), you don't want other people messing with them | 12:36 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya... i'm on 8.04 upgraded from 7.10. rhythmbox is freezing every time i try and play music. any ideas? | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | because that's what your access point is using | 12:36 |
| dave12 | if you had to sync / of ubuntu which files will exclude to avoid errors? | 12:36 |
| magnus__1 | koshari: okui | 12:36 |
| wangfg | gordonjcp: i have tried wpa_client, but it make me confused too | 12:36 |
| adam7 | knifepoint: feel free to uninstall pulseaudio in the package manager | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | wangfg: hm | 12:36 |
| knifepoint | adam7: i do realise its just a wrapper but for some reason i loose volume and i also loose surround sound support when running through pulse | 12:36 |
| adam7 | !alsa > knifepoint | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | wangfg: I don't know then, I don't actually use WPA or recommend its use | 12:36 |
| adam7 | gordonjcp: why don't you recommend wpa? | 12:37 |
| archman | how to fake hostname? | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | adam7: because it's pathetically slow, and just as insecure as WEP | 12:37 |
| magnus__1 | adam7: ok but i was talking about disks as they are mounted in /media not the device files.. | 12:37 |
| bazhang | !hostname | archman | 12:37 |
| ubottu | archman: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 12:37 |
| wangfg | gordonjcp: is wpa a application? | 12:37 |
| guffe | Need some help. Have fu¤%& up my system... Tried to upgrade chroot to accept x11vnc for tcm but now all I get is BusyBox and initramfs on my thin clients. Im a newbie. Is there a way to remove all ltsp settings and reinstall default system? | 12:37 |
| adam7 | gordonjcp: WPA2 as well then? | 12:37 |
| pingu__ | join #ubuntu-de | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | wangfg: WPA is kind of an application, WPA2 is implemented in hardware | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | adam7: no, WPA2 actually does decent encryption | 12:38 |
| archman | adam7: wpa is way to better than wep, believe... | 12:38 |
| adam7 | archman: I would agree there | 12:38 |
| koshari | magnus__1 for the record there isnt a disks group but there is a fuse group | 12:38 |
| archman | ubottu: will hostname be reset after reboot? | 12:38 |
| ubottu | archman: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:38 |
| adam7 | fuse is for using fuse filesystems | 12:38 |
| puckman | is there really no one who can help me get sound working on a thinkpad t41? | 12:38 |
| wangfg | gordonjcp: i cannot change it, it is the public protocol | 12:38 |
| puckman | I just switched this guy from windows to linux | 12:38 |
| puckman | I dont want him to switch back | 12:38 |
| Asshiah | Hello | 12:38 |
| Emry | How much disk space is generally needed for the packages for a web server running rails, lampp, etc? | 12:39 |
| Pici | archman: If you change it in those two places, no, it will not be reset after a reboot. | 12:39 |
| archman | Pici: thanks | 12:39 |
| Asshiah | I just wanted to knox if any of you have some probleme with medibuntu and its key not working? | 12:39 |
| magnus__1 | koshari: there was a "disk" group actually. they own all my disks. | 12:39 |
| adam7 | Emry: just select the packages in the package manager, and hit install. It'll tell you how much when asking for confirmation to install | 12:39 |
| knifepoint | adam7: if i choose to remove pulseaudio it appears it will remove ubuntu-desktop is this correct? | 12:39 |
| archman | Pici: if i hostname <***> hostname will be reser after reboot? | 12:39 |
| adam7 | knifepoint: yep, shouldn't be a problem though | 12:40 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: which version of ubuntu are you on? | 12:40 |
| Pici | archman: What does <***> mean? | 12:40 |
| gordonjcp | puckman: it's quite hard to help without a clear description of the problem | 12:40 |
| archman | Pici: some name | 12:40 |
| puckman | hi | 12:40 |
| puckman | sorry | 12:40 |
| Emry | adam7, :P I am making preparations to request my service provider to switch the OS on my server. I wanted to try to do a little research first. At the moment they are running an abomination. :P | 12:40 |
| Pici | archman: No, this would be a permanent hostname change. | 12:40 |
| puckman | its for this sweet old guy we have at work, he cleans here | 12:40 |
| knifepoint | adam7: im sorry? it seems like a big problem to me theres a fair few packages installed there | 12:40 |
| puckman | bad eyes and I thought ubuntu would be ideal for him | 12:40 |
| adam7 | Emry: ok, I'll check for you. Just Lamp and Ruby? | 12:40 |
| puckman | I just installed a 8.0.4 | 12:40 |
| puckman | fresh of the cd, ran the updates | 12:41 |
| adam7 | knifepoint: uninstalling ubuntu desktop won't uninstall all the packages | 12:41 |
| koshari | magnus__1 ok well it looks like it was a good guess, i had to play round with the scanner and ieee1394 groupd recently so it was logical there was a disks group | 12:41 |
| knifepoint | adam7: ok thanks for that | 12:41 |
| dougsko | archman: check the message ubotu sent you about hostname. it explains exactly what to do | 12:41 |
| gordonjcp | puckman: what have you tried so far? | 12:41 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: my guess you are on hardy | 12:41 |
| puckman | nothing, i tried looking online | 12:41 |
| jatt | any ntfs-3g user here? | 12:41 |
| ssn | hi | 12:41 |
| archman | ok | 12:41 |
| Emry | Lamp, Ruby, the nfs related deamons, And I can estimate high after that to allow for anything else that comes to whim. :P | 12:41 |
| puckman | blessed_guess: how can I see if its hardy | 12:41 |
| koshari | magnus__1 i would imagine your a member of the disks group | 12:41 |
| bullgard4 | GNOME terminal reports Current locale= ANSI_X3.4-1968. How can I change Current locale to de_DE.UTF-8? | 12:41 |
| jatt | copying from my ext3 partition to a ntfs partition using ntfs-3g puts the files always with root user. | 12:42 |
| puckman | ah yes, its hardy | 12:42 |
| ssn | do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature) | 12:42 |
| magnus__1 | koshari: group is called "disk" not "disks" btw :) | 12:42 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: click on system then preference then sound | 12:42 |
| gordonjcp | puckman: what kernel version? | 12:42 |
| adam7 | Emry: looking like about 130mb | 12:42 |
| Emry | puckman, Is he added to the audio group? | 12:42 |
| adam7 | Emry: I might not have gotten all the rails packages though | 12:42 |
| Bhlynd | Good day to everyone. I am looking for assistance with rdesktop. Installed 8.0.4 recently and what worked in 7.0.10 does not working for me now. Assistance would be apreciated allot. | 12:42 |
| Emry | adam7, Cool, so if I allow about 10 or 15 gigs, that should be more than enough. | 12:42 |
| archman | Pici: so i just edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and then hostname <***> and it's changed? | 12:42 |
| adam7 | Emry: far more than enough | 12:43 |
| puckman | blessed_guess: done | 12:43 |
| Emry | I just want to be able to give them explicit instructions. I hate doing an install blind, but there is no way I am making it to their datacenter. :P | 12:43 |
| archman | Pici: also, will that new hastname appear on network logs? | 12:43 |
| adam7 | Emry: you can get the whole ubuntu install in 1/3 of that | 12:43 |
| legend2440 | puckman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24758 | 12:43 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: on the devices tab select alsa on all | 12:43 |
| Pici | archman: Yes, and it depends. | 12:44 |
| magnus__1 | how do i check who is in a group. | 12:44 |
| adam7 | magnus__1: cat /etc/group | 12:44 |
| magnus__1 | ty | 12:44 |
| Emry | adam7, Right now the poor machine is running CentOS.... One should administer their machine, not fight with it. :/ | 12:44 |

| Emry | Bhlynd, There should be at least one built directly into the OS. What do you need to know? | 12:46 |
| adam7 | K-4U: cdrw :) | 12:46 |
| lappy198 | It takes forever to install anything.. Does anyone else have problems with the server? apt-get is just saying this: "0% [Connecting to no.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:700:300:1800::b)]" | 12:46 |
| K-4U | adam7: they are all already screwedup... | 12:46 |
| archman | Pici: is there a way to fake my host name? It's like, i have 'that' hostname, but other is shown? | 12:47 |
| Pici | bullgard4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf (and maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 12:47 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, I get an error when attempting to connect. May I show tyou this? | 12:47 |
| adam7 | lappy198: try a different server? | 12:47 |
| magnus__1 | ??? why are there groups without members :/ ??? | 12:47 |
| lappy198 | adam7, I have.. I tried both se and no | 12:47 |
| puckman | Ubuntu so rocks | 12:47 |
| === moe_ is now known as |moe| | ||
| koshari | magnus__1 permissions are quite complicated, | 12:47 |
| acron17 | hi there. are the gnome applets writing some kind of log-files? | 12:47 |
| puckman | the guy is 78 years old, could not figure out windows | 12:47 |
| Emry | If it is just a line or two you can show it here, if it is more then use a pastebin. :) | 12:47 |
| Pici | archman: I don't know, and I'm not going to help you do something like that either, sorry. | 12:47 |
| K-4U | puckman: indeed it does... if the boot cd works¬_¬ | 12:47 |
| puckman | but he understood how ubuntu works | 12:47 |
| magnus__1 | koshari: indeed :/ | 12:47 |
| puckman | I have it on my macbook as well | 12:48 |
| archman | Pici: no prob, tnx! | 12:48 |
| Emry | Bhlynd, If it is just a line or two you can show it here, if it is more then use a pastebin. :) | 12:48 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: good have a blessed day | 12:48 |
| acron17 | i try to connect to a vpn through network-manager-opvn, but it's not working and its pretty hard to debug with no error-message | 12:48 |
| dave12 | if you had to sync / of ubuntu which files will exclude to avoid errors? | 12:48 |
| puckman | blessed_guess: do you know of a easy way to get the trashcan on the desktop like a big icon? | 12:48 |
| puckman | i set the resolution of the laptop to 800x600 which is easier to read for him | 12:49 |
| adam7 | dave12: leave out all of /dev and /sys -- actually, what you want to do is use the one-filesystem option in rsync; I think it is -x | 12:49 |
| ssn | do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature) | 12:49 |
| adam7 | dave12: you probably don't need to sync /tmp either | 12:49 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, here is the link; http://pastebin.com/d32607b6 | 12:49 |
| guffe | Hi- Is there a way to remove ltsp to reinstall a default installation. I have fu¤# up the system... | 12:49 |
| === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter | ||
| adam7 | guffe: where do the ltsp config files live? just remove them, then reinstall lstp | 12:50 |
| adam7 | ltsp* | 12:50 |
| koshari | lappy198 have you tried another mirror | 12:50 |
| bullgard1 | Pici: I did dist-upgrade two Gutsy laptop computers to Hardy. In one the GNOME language works all right. In the other not (most identifiers are in English). I just noticed a different content of the ~/.bashrc file. Is this file the culprit? | 12:50 |
| K-4U | what to do when xserver doesn't show anything, except the background-color after typing startx? | 12:50 |
| koshari | K-4U change from fluxbox? | 12:50 |
| lappy198 | koshari, Well.. I tried both se and no, and as long as they arn't on the same server, yes. | 12:50 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: one moment | 12:50 |
| guffe | adam7: Can i remove all files from /opt/ltsp/* ? When my thin clients starts up now all I get is BusyBox and initframs | 12:51 |
| K-4U | koshari: Sorry? | 12:51 |
| ssn | do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature) | 12:51 |
| Pici | bullgard1: Could be, if you're setting that environment variable from there./ | 12:51 |
| adam7 | guffe: I don't know; I've never setup a thin client, but if those are the config files, then probably you can | 12:51 |
| koshari | K-4U fluxbox loads with a blank screen but iam tipping you havnt installed fluxbox-desktop? | 12:51 |
| guffe | I'll try...... | 12:51 |
| lappy198 | koshari, It works after like 3 minuters. But it waits forever with: "0% [Connecting to no.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:700:300:1800::b)]" | 12:52 |
| K-4U | koshari: no.. not that i am aware of... the power failed whilst updating to 8.04 (it was still downloading files) | 12:52 |
| koshari | ssn what do you mean by externel media files? | 12:52 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, did you get to the link? | 12:52 |
| legend2440 | puckman: in terminal type gconf-editor then go to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible and check boxes | 12:52 |
| Emry | Going now. | 12:52 |
| bullgard1 | Pici: Thank you for your help. | 12:52 |
| koshari | K-4U ouch , can you try loading recovery ? | 12:53 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, thank you. | 12:53 |
| puckman | I feel jelous now, I want a thinkpad again as well :P | 12:53 |
| Emry | Is this a terminal client or a feed client? | 12:53 |
| K-4U | koshari: recovery mode? yes.. i only get terminal then... | 12:53 |
| Bhlynd | terminal server client | 12:53 |
| Emry | Bhlynd, Which terminal are you trying to use? | 12:53 |
| adam7 | koshari: K-4U: if it failed while downloading files, it shouldn't be a problem. Power failure while *installing* files, on the other hand, would be an issue | 12:53 |
| ssn | koshari: i gut a soundfile and a videofile, i want to play them both | 12:53 |
| Bhlynd | the defaulty one with 8.0.4 | 12:53 |
| puckman | legend2440: awesome, thanks! | 12:54 |
| ssn | at the same time | 12:54 |
| K-4U | adam7: i HAVE issues... | 12:54 |
| legend2440 | puckman: yw | 12:54 |
| ssn | so this WOULD be mplayer videofile.avi -audiofile audiofile.ac3, but my mplayer doesnt like my ac3 files | 12:54 |
| koshari | lappy198 is no the netherlands? i use an australian mirror | 12:54 |
| Emry | Bhlynd, What kind of server are you trying to connect too? | 12:54 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, I get that error when I attempt to connect. The client is the default client with 8.0.4 | 12:54 |
| adam7 | K-4U: well, for one, I think you have to start a window manager after startx'ing the server | 12:54 |
| puckman | koshari: no is norway | 12:54 |
| K-4U | adam7: how?? | 12:55 |
| adam7 | K-4U: not sure on Ubuntu -- why don't you use gdm? | 12:55 |
| adam7 | or another login manager? | 12:55 |
| puckman | hmmm, a LOT of apps cant handle 800x600 screen | 12:55 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, windows 200 | 12:55 |
| koshari | ssn you will need to mux them with something like avidemux | 12:55 |
| puckman | the buttons are off screen | 12:55 |
| lappy198 | koshari, "no" is for norway | 12:55 |
| K-4U | adam7: sorry.. i m a real ubuntu-noob | 12:55 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, Sorry that is windows 2000 | 12:55 |
| dave12 | adam7 then I don't sunc /temp ,/sys and /dev | 12:55 |
| als | I'm trying to run ./bootstrap and I keep getting AM_RUN_LOG not found in library What does this mean | 12:55 |
| Emry | Bhlynd, I mean is it telnet, ssh, something else? | 12:55 |
| Emry | And which command are you running to get there? | 12:55 |
| adam7 | dave12: yeah, don't sync /tmp /sys or /dev -- I think that should be all | 12:55 |
| koshari | K-4U- why don't you use gdm?+1 | 12:56 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, rdp port 3389 | 12:56 |
| adam7 | K-4U: no worries. also, fluxbox may not appear to be running, so try rightclicking on the desktop and see if you get a menu | 12:56 |
| dave12 | and the option -x? | 12:56 |
| K-4U | koshari: what is it? (really sorry.. as i said: i'm a linux-noob) | 12:56 |
| koshari | adam7 iam guessing gdm went haywire during a upgrade when the power failed, | 12:56 |
| dave12 | option -x don't cross filesystem boundaries | 12:56 |
| TAiNiUM | I'd like a server that has IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV tightly integrated and also has some sort of web interface. Any recommendations? | 12:56 |
| adam7 | dave12: correct | 12:57 |
| dave12 | the meaning of this what is it? | 12:57 |
| LSD|Ninja | dave12: speaking like Yoda, why are you? | 12:57 |
| yang_ | hello | 12:57 |
| yang_ | everyone | 12:57 |
| adam7 | dave12: if you have additional drives or partitions mounted, then it won't send those | 12:57 |
| koshari | K-4U i would guess the gdm went haywire when the power failed during your upgrade, you could try checking it in synaptic | 12:57 |
| yang_ | ...hai | 12:57 |
| adam7 | yang_: hi! | 12:58 |
| TAiNiUM | yang_ hi | 12:58 |
| Emry | Bhlynd, Ok.. I don't know anything about rdp. :/ | 12:58 |
| adam7 | dave12: /sys and /dev are different filesystems, so it wouldn't sync them | 12:58 |
| yang_ | where are you from | 12:58 |
| Jck_true | Whats the command to get similar result with apt-get? | 12:58 |
| K-4U | koshari: so.. tell me, how do i get IN synaptic when i have no gui? | 12:58 |
| Emry | When you say terminal, I think text only. ^^; | 12:58 |
| Jck_true | Don't know the package name... | 12:58 |
| sarthor | Hi, i want to install/configure pppoe server on my ubunut hardy. i did search for any howto, but no success.. any help... | 12:58 |
| Bhlynd | Emry, no problem. | 12:58 |
| Emry | Bhlynd, Sorry. It was worth a shot. ^^ | 12:59 |
| dougsko | TAiNiUM: postfix, courier-imap-ssl, and apache with libapache2-svn. i dont know about caldav though | 12:59 |
| coccydynia | Hello, i am trying to set up my wireless, and I am stuck with " ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:155): Windows driver is not 32-bit; bad magic: 020B " anybody knows where I can find 32 bit drivers for Broadcom 1390 WLAN Mini PC ? | 12:59 |
| koshari | K-4U you can use apt. | 12:59 |
| dave12 | but adam can you write me the sentence of rsync to avoid this problems | 12:59 |
| koshari | if you know the name of the package | 12:59 |
| dave12 | because I dont know how to put it | 12:59 |
| Bhlynd | Is there anyone around that could assist me with an issue regarding remote desktop on 8.0.4. I am attempting to connect to a windows server. | 12:59 |
| hexoroid | does ubuntu have some kind of firewall by it self | 12:59 |
| yang_ | ia anyone from china call m e | 12:59 |
| K-4U | koshari: i'm a real noob... sorry for asking so many questions: what to type? :P | 13:00 |
| TAiNiUM | hexoroid: ufw | 13:00 |
| hexoroid | it seems to be blocking one of my ports.. | 13:00 |
| koshari | K-4U ie, sudo apt-get install packagename | 13:00 |
| hexoroid | dont know how to disable that | 13:00 |
| dougsko | TAiNiUM: i dont know what youre looking for in a web interface either. do you want an imap web interface like squirelmail or something? | 13:00 |
| TritonX | hexoroid: Firestarter | 13:00 |
| hexoroid | TAiNiUM how do i enable port 3333 its blocking it | 13:00 |
| blessed_guess | puckman: great I can see you got a solution to your problem | 13:00 |
| adam7 | hexoroid: there is no firewall on Ubuntu | 13:00 |
| TAiNiUM | dougsko: Have you seen Citadel? I'm considering using it. | 13:00 |
| adam7 | !firewall > hexoroid | 13:00 |
| K-4U | koshari: i already knew the install-command, but what to install then? :p | 13:00 |
| TritonX | hexo: sudo apt-get install firestarter then edit the appropriate rules | 13:01 |
| robg_ | adam7: ofcourse there is, ufw. | 13:01 |
| tiziano | hello everyone, today i've tried to install kde4 devel in my ubuntu, in two machines, in the first one everything gone well on the second i got this error http://rafb.net/p/5CVnLH17.html, does anyone knows what it can be ? | 13:01 |
| TAiNiUM | hexoroid: ufw allow 3333 | 13:01 |
| adam7 | TritonX: there is no firewall, so that wouldn't be the problem | 13:01 |
| hexoroid | well TrioTorus this is a fresh install.. | 13:01 |
| puckman | blessed_guess: yes, looking good. Just set up chat and email for him. Ubuntu so rocks for new computer users | 13:01 |
| adam7 | robg_: but it doesn't block anything by default... | 13:01 |
| koshari | K-4U sudo apt-get install gdm | 13:01 |
| dougsko | TAiNiUM: nope, whats that? | 13:01 |
| TritonX | you got to install one to open the ports, I thin kit pretty much closed by default | 13:01 |
| adam7 | robg_: there is also iptables | 13:01 |
| hexoroid | TAiNiUM it says i need to be a root to run this script | 13:01 |
| puckman | I have moved at least 30 users in the last year to either linux or mac, away from windows | 13:01 |
| robg_ | adam7: sudo su, ufw enable, ufw logging on, ufw default deny. | 13:01 |
| TAiNiUM | http://www.citadel.org/ | 13:01 |
| adam7 | TritonX: the ports are closed because nothing is running on them. you don't need to install anything to open a port | 13:02 |
| TAiNiUM | hexoroid: what robg said | 13:02 |
| adam7 | robg_: ok, but that's not default :P | 13:02 |
| K-4U | koshari: unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages" | 13:02 |
| robg_ | adam7: ufw is a simple interface to IP tables. | 13:02 |
| adam7 | robg_: I know. So is Firestarter. | 13:02 |
| dougsko | TritonX: if you are trying to access the port from outside your network though, you probly need to forward the port on your router | 13:02 |
| K-4U | koshari: last time i typed that one.. it asked me to reconfigure dpkg... | 13:02 |
| dave12 | rsync -arvx 192.168.2::root / | 13:02 |
| hexoroid | TAiNiUM that is still not doing it | 13:02 |
| blessed_guess | please I need help, my menu editor seems not to be working | 13:02 |
| hexoroid | my port is still blocked | 13:03 |
| adam7 | hexoroid: are you trying to access said port from the internet? | 13:03 |
| koshari | K-4U if you have unmet dependencies it would indicate you have found your problem. | 13:03 |
| TAiNiUM | could be something else blocking it. try another port. | 13:03 |
| K-4U | koshari: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed | 13:03 |
| hexoroid | adam7 yes i am | 13:03 |
| adam7 | hexoroid: you have port forwarding enabled on your router? | 13:03 |
| K-4U | koshari: and how to solve? :p | 13:03 |
| yang_ | is anyone want to know me | 13:03 |
| TritonX | hexo : get firestarter, trust me | 13:03 |
| yang_ | ' | 13:03 |
| hexoroid | adam7 it was never a problem before | 13:03 |
| yang_ | ? | 13:04 |
| dave12 | adam7 | 13:04 |
| hexoroid | only ubuntu i have "dmz" set | 13:04 |
| TritonX | ver5y easy to use | 13:04 |
| dougsko | hexoroid: you might have something already running on 3333. try 'netstat -na|grep 3333' and see if that matches anything | 13:04 |
| adam7 | dave12: yeah? | 13:04 |
| bazhang | yang_, chinese? | 13:04 |
| blessed_guess | anytime I right click on the applications menu and select edit menu nothing happens | 13:04 |
| adam7 | hexoroid: "before?" | 13:04 |
| koshari | K-4U i little out of my depth, iam no master of CLI apt though | 13:04 |

| yang_ | thank you | 13:05 |
| koshari | K-4U can you do apt-get ubuntu-desktop? | 13:05 |
| adam7 | dave12: yeah. that should sync 192.168.2 (that's a funny looking IP address) to / on the current machine, I think | 13:05 |
| dougsko | TAiNiUM: personally, ive never been a fan of "all-in-one" sorta apps, but that does seem like it does everything if thats what youre looking for | 13:05 |
| bazhang | yang_, type /join #ubuntu-cn | 13:05 |
| koshari | K-4U sorry apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? | 13:05 |

| bazhang | knoppix, please dont | 13:06 |
| koshari | K-4U ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage and should install all the packages of the default back on your system and gdm is one of them | 13:06 |
| mrtimdog | My sound (Intel HDA rev 09) isn't working since reinstalling with the released hardy, has anyone else had a similar problem? | 13:06 |
| hexoroid | nothing else is listening on it | 13:06 |
| K-4U | koshari: "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --reconfigure -a' to correct the problem"<-- and when i do that it is busy for a very long time, only to give me the same error as above | 13:07 |
| adam7 | dave12: (if you put adam7 in front of your message, I'm more likely to respond) yes, using -x will cause /sys and /dev to be omitted, but not /tmp | 13:07 |

| koshari | K-4U about 4 years ago i had a bad problem with apt and lost all my fonts ect and couldnt recover, but hey theres a lot smarter people than me kicking round, | 13:13 |
| romel | hi all | 13:13 |
| knoppix | hello | 13:13 |
| knoppix | i am back | 13:14 |
| adam7 | K-4U: oh? You might wanna put a livecd in and see if you can just copy files off that way, might be faster. Otherwise, you can mount the stick if you know the device name: mkdir /tmp/mountpoint; mount /dev/sdx1 /tmp/mountpoint | 13:14 |
| koshari | K-4U can you use the live disc to copy your files? | 13:14 |
| K-4U | koshari: hmm... i hope so :P damn... well, running on windows also didn't solve.... (ubuntu crashed a couple of months ago.. runned windows on it.. that crashed after a week¬_¬) | 13:14 |
| romel | its bad | 13:14 |
| K-4U | adam7 & koshari: err... all my live discs are damaged... | 13:14 |
| adam7 | bazhang: I asked them, but it might be a minute before we get a response since there aren't too many people in #ubuntu-ko | 13:14 |
| blessed_guess | please I need help, my menu editor seems not to be working | 13:15 |
| koshari | K-4U sounds like a UPD might be what you need | 13:15 |
| adam7 | K-4U: oh dear. :P | 13:15 |
| K-4U | koshari: UDP? | 13:15 |
| K-4U | *UPD | 13:15 |
| bazhang | adam7, the korean user has quit at any rate; thanks :) | 13:15 |

| robg_ | K-4U: I have at least 50 iso's but have not yet come accross a damaged one. | 13:16 |
| adam7 | K-4U: did you md5sum them? | 13:16 |
| shlimp | hi, did anybody encounter a very poor computer performance when network is active? | 13:17 |
| K-4U | robg_: no.. not the iso, the iso is great.. only the cd's on which i burn them are crap | 13:17 |
| Bhlynd | Is there anyone around that could assist me with an issue regarding remote desktop on 8.0.4. I am attempting to connect to a windows server. | 13:17 |
| bazhang | romel, sudo apt-get remove packagename | 13:17 |
| frostburn | K-4U, burn at 4x instead of 52 or whatever | 13:17 |
| Escaper | Can anyone point me to some good dvd extractor/shrinker? | 13:17 |
| koshari | K-4U burn em slllllooowwwerrrr | 13:17 |
| adam7 | I have a bunch of dvdrws which don't like my isos either :P | 13:17 |

| HardyHuman | k I'm gonna partition my drive dual boot for XP/Hardy 250GB DRIVE and I want to partition it NTFS 15GB (XP), 15GB EXT3 / -boot, 20GB EXT3 /home 20 (for manipulating files and stuff), 3GB linux-swap, 162 GIGS Shared Storage Fat32? 20GB space for playing with FreeBSD or whatevs. This probably doesn't need to be complicated. How should I set this up with GPARTED? | 13:18 |
| K-4U | frostburn: koshari: i've done them on 1x... | 13:18 |
| koshari | K-4U sounds like its time to stop buying princos! | 13:18 |
| K-4U | **reads on ubuntu.com: Ubuntu 'just works' <-- yeah right!!!** | 13:18 |
| filip | is there a driver for Toshiba's motion sensor? | 13:18 |
| frostburn | K-4U, make sure your drive isn't dusty, verify the copy after the burn, what's the exact error you're seeing? (i just joined) | 13:18 |
| K-4U | frostburn: err.. it first flashed caps- en scroll-lock... | 13:19 |
| Escaper | Again, can anyone point me to some good dvd extractor/shrinker? I am using Ubuntu -gnome... | 13:19 |
| anirudh0 | HardyHuman, you already seem to know what to do.... | 13:19 |
| K-4U | frostburn: and now it says: "Error reading boot cd" | 13:19 |

| shlimp | hi, can anyone help me with a performance problem? | 13:19 |
| koshari | K-4U thers not many operating systems that can always endure a power outage during an upgrade.... | 13:19 |
| freak | hello | 13:20 |
| HardyHuman | anacaona: yeah but I'm never certain about logical extended and primary stuff nomatter how many help files I read | 13:20 |

| K-4U | koshari: yes.. but it was DOWNLOADING the files :| | 13:20 |
| freak | i already point my domain to ubuntu ip server | 13:20 |
| Escaper | Thanks Dr_willis and ubottu... However, is there something that is not KDE? | 13:20 |
| koshari | K-4U oh thats right your trying to install on that lappie arent you! | 13:20 |
| anacaona | HardyHuman: huh?!?! | 13:20 |
| adam7 | freak: ifconfig INTERFACE IP | 13:20 |
| HardyHuman | anacaona: did I stutter? | 13:21 |
| K-4U | koshari: also :P | 13:21 |
| grobda24 | Escaper .... mplayer/ mencoder ... http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ .... Find a front end or script (listed on theri site) because the command lihne syntax is /not/ for the faint of heart :P | 13:21 |
| anirudh0 | HardyHuman, the first partition has to be primary(windows)...else windows wont boot...all other can be logical..i think..and the /boot should have the boot flag enabled | 13:21 |
| anacaona | HardyHuman: sorta kinda, cuz I have no clue what you're talking about. | 13:21 |
| HardyHuman | oops | 13:21 |
| anirudh0 | lol | 13:21 |

| anacaona | HardyHuman: yeah, "oops" is only half of it. | 13:22 |
| freak | i mean i want to make vhost in ubuntu dedicated server | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | Escaper, ubottu is a bot. and i have no idea. i dont worry about if its kde or not. I mixx and match kde and gnome apps all the time. Im not even sure that k9copy is a 'kde' app. :) ive not used it in ages | 13:22 |
| freak | the domain already point to dedicated ip | 13:22 |
| HardyHuman | anacaona: yeah be rude that's teh answer | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | !info k9copy | 13:22 |

| anacaona | HardyHuman: yes, that apparently seems to be your rulebook, Mr. "Did I stutter?" | 13:23 |
| freak | i mean i want to make vhost in ubuntu dedicated server | 13:23 |
| freak | the domain already point to dedicated ip | 13:23 |
| HardyHuman | anacaona: I owe you an apology then | 13:23 |
| MaximLevitsky | Anybody can help me with wireless card? | 13:23 |
| HardyHuman | anirudh0: last time I did this Hardy refused to install | 13:24 |
| anacaona | HardyHuman: here comes the other half. | 13:24 |
| HardyHuman | sorry | 13:24 |
| anacaona | HardyHuman: apology accepted. | 13:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | My new notebook has an intel wireless card, but due to some bug it doesn't work | 13:24 |
| HardyHuman | np I've been up too long | 13:24 |
| K-4U | HardyHuman: What time is it where you are? | 13:25 |

| HardyHuman | alm ost 6am | 13:25 |
| freak | anyone can help me | 13:25 |
| bazhang | anacaona, did you have a support question? or just want to chat | 13:25 |
| K-4U | 14:25 here :P | 13:25 |
| anirudh0 | HardyHuman, exactly 6 pm here :) | 13:25 |
| HardyHuman | anirudh0: can I query u? | 13:26 |
| K-4U | anyway: live cd crashes again... caps- and scroll-lock leds blink | 13:26 |
| anacaona | bazhang: posted my questions sometime last night. fell asleep with chat window open. | 13:26 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky does iwconfig see it? | 13:26 |
| anirudh0 | HardyHuman, "query" me? | 13:26 |
| HardyHuman | yeah msg | 13:26 |
| anirudh0 | yes | 13:26 |
| anacaona | one had to do with weird sound behaviour in heron (flash video no sound, sometimes; no MP3 playback except from command line). | 13:26 |
| anacaona | the other i was looking for old release desktop wallpapers. | 13:27 |
| bazhang | anacaona, have you updated to the latest kernel? | 13:27 |
| MaximLevitsky | koshari, yes, I got some bad messages from dmesg | 13:27 |
| freak | i already got vpn server so how i want to make a vhost | 13:27 |
| anacaona | bazhang: yeah. | 13:27 |
| K-4U | how to change the memory wubi requires? | 13:27 |
| munkhbold | hi | 13:27 |
| ubuntu | How can I mount an LVM2 volume using the LiveCD? | 13:27 |
| bazhang | anacaona, and the problem persists? | 13:27 |
| grobda24 | freak ... there's either an easy way here ... or a technical way here: #linux ... but I'm new here and know nothing :P | 13:27 |
| freak | if someone help me i'll give one dedicated server free for 2 month | 13:27 |
| ubuntu | I already installed lvm2 etc. | 13:27 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky what module is it using? | 13:27 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, most issues come when upgrading from a properly working to a bleeding edge kernel :) | 13:27 |
| MaximLevitsky | [ 305.837499] iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008. | 13:27 |

| ubuntu | The volumes are active. It's just not mounting. | 13:27 |
| yang_ | is anyone learning python or ruby? | 13:28 |
| anacaona | bazhang: its been like this for a bit over a week. | 13:28 |
| bazhang | anacaona, one workaround at least with the -16 kernel was to install libflashsupport to get sound back for flash video | 13:28 |
| MaximLevitsky | koshari, it seems that it is somehow connected with bad firmware | 13:28 |
| anacaona | bazhang: the thing about the flash is that its not consistent. it comes and goes. the no MP3 is really starting to annoy me, though. | 13:29 |
| K-4U | i am screwed :| | 13:29 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky ? you using ndiswrapper? | 13:29 |
| ubuntu__ | How do I mount an LVM2 volume using the LiveCD? | 13:29 |
| anirudh0 | freak, nice offer...you'd probably have got help anyway :) | 13:30 |
| MaximLevitsky | koshari, obivosly not, why, intel hardware has free linux driver | 13:30 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as something | ||
| bazhang | anacaona, that maybe related to the sound system you are using (pulse et al); and as for old release wallpapers, distrowatch links to a site (forgot the name) that has wallpapers for nearly every distro | 13:30 |
| K-4U | adam7: koshari: Thanks for your help... i'm off to reburn the image, and try to reinstall ubuntu... | 13:30 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky thje firmware message prompted me to ask that | 13:30 |
| adam7 | K-4U: good luck :) sorry we couldn't save your install | 13:30 |
| Tendou | mn | 13:30 |
| allad | hi | 13:30 |
| Tendou | hi | 13:31 |
| K-4U | adam7: doesn't matter, thanks anyway ;) i think i'll be back later today to ask about the wireless | 13:31 |
| adam7 | K-4U: alright :P | 13:31 |
| K-4U | bya! | 13:31 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky have you had it working? did it work of the live disk? | 13:31 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, anyone knows where I can find the startup sound that was in dapper | 13:31 |
| anirudh0 | i meant the sound you here just after login | 13:31 |
| allad | I just wanted to ask. Is anyone else experiencing very slow scrolling in firefox on gmail? | 13:32 |
| MaximLevitsky | koshari, nope, it never did | 13:32 |
| bazhang | anirudh0, on a dapper disk most likely; probably just insert the disk then extract it | 13:32 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, ah..but i dont have a dapper disk | 13:32 |
| lw0x15 | yo.. any one might know why my ubuntu keeps on freezing apps sometimes ? | 13:32 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, else no point in asking...google does'nt show anything | 13:32 |
| allad | lw | 13:32 |
| bazhang | anirudh0, let me try | 13:33 |
| allad | lw0x15, which apps specifically? | 13:33 |
| lw0x15 | allad, umm...most of them lol | 13:33 |
| anirudh0 | lw0x15, which apps...what config..please give more details | 13:33 |
| lw0x15 | all the fookin apps | 13:33 |
| lw0x15 | no errors nothing | 13:33 |
| lw0x15 | just freezes | 13:33 |
| lw0x15 | and thats it | 13:33 |
| FloodBot1 | lw0x15: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:33 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky what module is it loading, | 13:33 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, the dapper sound was beautiful, the new sound is somewhat harsh(to my ears atleast) | 13:33 |
| lw0x15 | i did memtest for 3hours no errors nothing | 13:34 |
| adam7 | anirudh0: is the dapper sound in Gutsy too? I only have a copy of the Gutsy cd here | 13:34 |
| MaximLevitsky | koshari, iwl3945 | 13:34 |
| she | lw0x15 happens to me too | 13:35 |
| Jck_true | Whats the ubuntu package that install most used libs? | 13:35 |
| alexi6 | what is the name of the package that contains the development utilities ( c ompiler, c header files,etc..) | 13:35 |
| bazhang | http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/gnome/ubuntu-sounds anirudh0 | 13:35 |
| allad | lw0x15, firefox used to freeze that way on my Hardy box. But a fix has been published and everything works now. | 13:35 |
| adam7 | !build-essential | alexi6 | 13:35 |
| ubottu | alexi6: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:35 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky i guess it wouldnt hurt to try ipw3945 | 13:35 |
| Jck_true | alexi6: LOL | 13:35 |
| adam7 | alexi6: that would be build-essential | 13:35 |
| adam7 | I think | 13:35 |

| bob1122 | Hey, can anyone tell me how to get OSS4 to play system sounds, I cant hear message beeps in pidgen, but amarok music player works | 13:36 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, thanks...have been looing for this for a long time | 13:36 |

| adam7 | ah, clever, just download the package :D | 13:36 |
| bob1122 | theres no selection for OSS in gnome sound menu, but any application that has drivers for it seems to work well, like i can play games in WINE like Deus Ex and TF2 | 13:36 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, but how do i extract a file from a deb? | 13:36 |
| allad | she, lw0x15 , please give details. which apps? how often? | 13:36 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang, i cant install the package...it'll conflict with ubuntu-desktop | 13:37 |
| adam7 | anirudh0: just open it -- it's a tar.gz, so the archiver will do it | 13:37 |
| MaximLevitsky | koshari, what is this | 13:37 |
| anirudh0 | adam7, ok..debs are gzipped? | 13:37 |
| adam7 | anirudh0: the program is called file-roller, I think | 13:37 |
| adam7 | anirudh0: yep | 13:37 |
| lw0x15 | allad, many of them.. i just tried a few for example terminal.. gimp image viewer etc | 13:37 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636177 | 13:37 |
| lw0x15 | i didnt try all of them | 13:37 |
| koshari | MaximLevitsky basicly its another driver written for your wifi chipset | 13:38 |
| MaximLevitsky | And ubuntu doesn't have it, at least modprobe doesn't work | 13:39 |
| bazhang | !appdb | bob1122 check here for what will work | 13:39 |

| allad | lw0x15, that's weird. never had any problem with those apps. sorry folks. can't help u on that | 13:40 |
| adam7 | Jck_true: indeed. just chmod +x nameof.bin first to make it executable | 13:40 |
| XATRIX | robg_, no....network manager applet dosn't work fine | 13:40 |
| lw0x15 | its just not these its just generally freezes | 13:40 |
| lw0x15 | i can use xchat | 13:41 |
| lw0x15 | and firefox but not others | 13:41 |
| oasisfai | if I met crash on xubuntu desktop, it's mean the keyboard and mouse no response, sounds like kernel panic. | 13:41 |
| oasisfai | 20:38 < rainleong> how could I check what problem cause it. | 13:41 |
| robg_ | XATRIX: normally you get an automatic DHCP. If that fails, then you do a manual config. | 13:41 |

| bob1122 | bazhang, I get sound in WINE, but not system sounds is what I meant. I'm asking how do I make OSS appear in the GNOME System->preferences-> sound menu , OSS is not there, there are options ALSA, PUlse Audio, and autodetect thats it | 13:41 |
| Rabbitbunny | I'm having a slight problem. just dist-upgraded to 8.04, resolution is set to 800x600, My monitor will take 1280x1024. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't allow me to select resolution or driver and manually adding the definitions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf does nithing.

| Jck_true | adam7: Adn how do I run it then... | 13:41 |
| alexi6 | thanks adam7 | 13:42 |
| anirudh0 | oasisfai, check your syslog and kern.log | 13:42 |
| eml | Hey, I'm using the nvidia-glx-new video driver, and it keeps getting removed once I reboot my computer. Has anyone experienced this problem before? | 13:42 |
| anirudh0 | oasisfai, via sysytem->admin->system log | 13:42 |
| speedhunt3r | I have alto of partitions in a seperate hard disk (10), everytime i mount them they are mounted as /media/disk-n and they are named on the desktop as "xx.x GB media" is there a way to set up a permanent mount point? such as /media/windows ? | 13:42 |
| XATRIX | robg_, how can i make my ubuntu to dhcp on start, without networkmanager apple | 13:43 |
| oasisfai | u mean under /var/log ? | 13:43 |
| anirudh0 | oasisfai, yes | 13:43 |
| anirudh0 | speedhunt3r, yes | 13:43 |
| ePax | Rabbitbunny: enable your restricted drivers if its ATI/or nvidia | 13:43 |
| anirudh0 | speedhunt3r, mount it..then right click on it in computer:// | 13:43 |
| robg_ | XATRIX: My installs always network themselves. | 13:43 |
| oasisfai | anirudh0 , I checked both sys.log and kern.log. | 13:43 |
| anirudh0 | speedhunt3r, and set a mount point under "volume" | 13:43 |
| oasisfai | seem no problem. | 13:43 |
| bazhang | bob1122, what does apt-cache search oss turn up? or you can search in synaptic | 13:43 |
| XATRIX | robg_, are you a developer ? | 13:44 |
| tbemus | Rabbitbunny: after enabling the restricted drivers install and use displayconfig-gtk to set your monitor and then use nvidia-settings to set your resolution | 13:44 |
| oasisfai | my friend and me upgraded ubuntu (my friend) and xubuntu (me) from gusty to hardy. | 13:44 |
| anirudh0 | oasisfai, then it is'nt a kernel panic | 13:44 |
| robg_ | XATRIX: Some call me that, but I do not know a hoot about Linux. I simply do carefull installs. | 13:45 |
| bob1122 | bazhang, I typed that command and my terminal was flooded with a list of programs so long it couldnt even display on the screen | 13:45 |

| oasisfai | but the keyboard and mouse without any reponse. | 13:46 |
| speedhunt3r | anirudh0, do i need to make folders in /media prior to that or it'll create it? | 13:46 |
| oasisfai | desktop was stop. | 13:46 |

| bazhang | bob1122, not a wine player; that is the best I can offer-->perhaps #winehq can help though | 13:48 |

| Pici | Silex: You probably need to make sure that you are up to date with the rest of your upgrades first. | 13:56 |
| Rabbitbunny | joe_chat: You should try to get help from your distro before bothering the guys at xorg. | 13:56 |

| Silex | Pici: seems I need to sudo aptitude install update-manager-core first | 13:56 |

| Rabbitbunny | DJAdmiral: Yes, But it didn't flicker near as often for me, I could actually click buttons. | 14:01 |
| DJAdmiral | :/ | 14:01 |
| anirudh0 | cosmodad, hmmm...not sure of that | 14:02 |
| anirudh0 | cosmodad, since you are updating, rather than adding | 14:02 |

| tonny_ | thanks bazhang | 14:24 |
| Dani | hello guys ! question : if you have a problem with backtracking to resolve what language would you use ? | 14:25 |
| Dani | in linux-ubuntu | 14:25 |
| anirudh0 | broonsparrow, AFAIK amarok has a random playlist option | 14:26 |
| lw0x15 | whats the command for listing the processes | 14:26 |
| Dani | i'm thinking c , python or bash is to hard to code ...am i right ? | 14:26 |
| magnus__1 | ps | 14:26 |
| pdub | hey guys having some difficulty finding my XP partition in my Ubuntu. Both partitions are on the same drive but for some reason my XP Partition isn't showing up in the /media folder.. or anywhere else for that matter? | 14:27 |
| lw0x15 | Dani, python isnt hard | 14:27 |
| Dani | k.. but is it easy to solve a backtracking problem ? | 14:27 |
| broonsparrow | ah. cheers. found it - it's gonna take it an age to import the 60 odd days of music i have into the playlist, i'm guessing it only has to do that once. | 14:27 |

| robg_ | pdub: if the OS does niot appear in the BIOS bootlist then it could have been deleted during an install. | 14:28 |
| pdub | its dual booted.. i can get into both partitions.. i just can't see xp in ubuntu | 14:28 |
| Pici | bullgard4: It probably just 'locales' then | 14:28 |

| soundray | Achoth: flash memory cells go bad after a certain number of write operations. Then they are lost to the total capacity. You shouldn't store temporary files or use swap space on a flash device for this reason. | 14:51 |

| incorrect | gvim | 15:03 |
| Wires | I see | 15:03 |
| Wires | thanks. | 15:03 |
| STSX | pdub: I could tell you what to add to mount your windows partition, but I've not seen an fstab like yours: "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / ext3 loop,errors=remount-ro 0 1" for your Ubuntu partition it looks like. I think you better get some other people to look at your fstab first, because I don't want to advise you when it doesn't look like the syntax I've ever seen. | 15:03 |
| incorrect | personally i use cat and sed | 15:03 |
| Wires | is there a way to enable root though? just out of curiousity | 15:03 |
| Slart | gumpish: scite supports regexps for searching, if that is what you want | 15:03 |
| Lynet | pdub: Is this wubi? That fstab is unlike any I've seen before. | 15:03 |
| robg_ | Wires: is possible but not advised. | 15:04 |
| microwaver | Is there a way to go back to you default install without reinstalling it? | 15:04 |
| microwaver | Like you have restore points in windows ? | 15:04 |
| pdub | its the new ubuntu.. that was jsut released | 15:04 |
| STSX | Can some other people here please check out pdub's fstab? I'm not familiar with this type of configuration: it's at http://paste.ubuntu.com/15080/ | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | pdub: how did you install the ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| pdub | i downloaded it, burned it to a cd, installed it in the windows xp environment and restarted and it was set for dual boot for xp and ubuntu | 15:04 |
| pdub | im not running off of the live cd | 15:05 |
| soundray | microwaver: no -- reinstalling is so quick that any effort to implement this would be largely wasted | 15:05 |
| Myrtti | so it's a wubi installation then | 15:05 |
| pdub | not sure what a wubi installation is? | 15:05 |
| Slart | STSX: never seen anything like it.. wubi? | 15:05 |
| microwaver | soundray, it's actually, my themes and stuff are fcked up | 15:05 |
| Lynet | pdub: wubi is "installed it in xp". | 15:06 |
| pdub | yea, its wubi then | 15:06 |
| soundray | !language | microwaver | 15:06 |
| ubottu | microwaver: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 15:06 |
| microwaver | soundray, that wasn't meant to be. | 15:06 |
| simplexio | how i configure X in hardy when stypid X isnt working | 15:06 |
| STSX | pdub: You should have mentioned it was wubi to begin with. :) | 15:06 |
| Slart | simplexio: edit the stypid xorg.conf of course | 15:06 |
| simplexio | there is no xconfigure or xconf | 15:06 |
| pdub | :( sorry didn't know it made that much of a difference | 15:06 |
| Myrtti | STSX: we were asking wrong questions | 15:07 |
| genii | simplexio: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:07 |
| simplexio | genii: didnt help | 15:07 |
| coobe | anyone uses TI Derive under Ubuntu ? | 15:07 |
| andy56_uk | After sudo complains about the hostname, it then asks for my password, then lists directory as expected. Trying to do 'hostname <hostname>' from a terminal tells me I need root access. Can't open a terminal in root mode because of gksudo problem. Safe mode entered from GRUB startup menu? | 15:07 |
| simplexio | i want that old system where i could select video driver | 15:07 |
| genii | simplexio: Choose vesa for driver | 15:07 |
| Myrtti | andy56_uk: so you booted to the recovery/safe mode from grub? | 15:07 |
| soundray | andy56_uk: yes, that would be recovery mode. If the sudo ls worked eventually, you may not have to go there, though. Just try 'sudo hostname <hostname>' | 15:08 |
| STSX | pdub: Well, I could give you the syntax to normally mount a ntfs (windows) partition, but I don't know if that's going to work in your Wubi fstab. | 15:08 |
| hak5fan | Hi all does anyone know where i can find the exact part of the windows licence which grants me the right to a refund if i do not agree with the licence? | 15:08 |
| PriceChild | !windows | hak5fan | 15:08 |
| ubottu | hak5fan: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents | 15:08 |
| simplexio | aah-- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg without option that xorg.conf offered | 15:09 |
| STSX | Slart, Myrtti: Any idea of the proper syntax to mount stuff with fstab in Wubi? :) | 15:09 |
| andy56_uk | 'sudo hostname <hostname>' says 'unable to resolve host <hostname>' | 15:09 |
| soundray | andy56_uk: okay, you will need to do this in recovery mode then. | 15:09 |
| Myrtti | STSX: after the installation is done, it should be handled the same way than any ubuntu's | 15:09 |
| pdub | STSX: well we might as well try it.. or im gonna be forced to mount the windows drive everytime :-/ | 15:09 |
| Slart | STSX: absolutely no idea what so ever.. but there has to be some info about it somewhere.. canonical invented this little weirdo.. it had better send a manual with it =) | 15:09 |
| Lynet | pdub: It's not that bad. It is just that wubi does some tricks (instead of installing linux in separate partitions it creates a couple large files on your xp filesystem and then treats those files as the linux disk). Few of us use wubi, so your fstab looked unfamiliar to us. | 15:09 |
| hak5fan | PriceChild: I just asked here because someone might have some experience with that | 15:10 |
| genii | simplexio: Adding the -phigh to that command makes it for resolution settings only. Otherwise you get all the options of driver, keyboard, etc | 15:10 |
| andy56_uk | soundray: thanks for your help, will try now. Myrtti: not tried yet - just about to. Thanks to all, will be back later. | 15:10 |
| Myrtti | STSX: perhaps live cd, fiddle fstab from there... | 15:10 |
| pdub | would you recommend reinstalling ubuntu in a different way?? | 15:10 |
| Myrtti | pdub: boot from the cd | 15:10 |
| Myrtti | wubi is a bit fresh | 15:11 |
| pdub | or will it be fine to work in like this.. im really just trying to get away from windows because im not a fan of vista. and figured this would be the best OS to do so | 15:11 |
| Myrtti | but we might get your problems fixed without you reinstalling | 15:11 |
| Myrtti | I have to go get some food, take care | 15:11 |
| STSX | pdub: Installing Ubuntu on a separate partition is really ideal, but we can deal with a Wubi install... | 15:11 |
| pdub | at some point im going to completely delete windows, i just don't know enough about ubuntu to do that yet | 15:12 |
| Lynet | Speaking of which.. pdub wants to mount his xp partition from a wubi linux install (i.e., same partition that has the linux disk image files). Will this cause any problems? | 15:12 |
| sing | ? | 15:12 |
| robg_ | STSX: i view a dual-boot configuration as transitional. | 15:13 |
| Nitricacid | I want to play .mp3 files that are in my windows partition in linux. But when i try to access the drives in nautilus it says they cannot be mounted? Anyone know how to do this? | 15:13 |
| STSX | pdub: If you want to eventually get rid of Windows, I think putting Ubuntu on its own partition is really your best solution. | 15:13 |
| Devistator | hey | 15:13 |
| Devistator | where can I find ubuntu hacks???? | 15:13 |
| Nitricacid | Devistator: what? | 15:14 |
| Wires | hey, I was asking about how to login to root earlier.. when I type su and then my password I can an auth failure | 15:14 |
| Nitricacid | Wires: sudo gedit | 15:14 |
| STSX | robg_: What do you mean? At least if pdub has it dual-boot he can easily get rid of Windows like he said he wants to eventually. With Wubi you can't do that, that I'm aware of. | 15:14 |
| pdub | ok, could you give me the command to mount windows everytime, if im going to reinstall i might as well try to enter something into the fstab | 15:14 |
| Devistator | Cool tricks on da computer, hacks where can I find them? | 15:14 |
| Wires | what does gedit do? | 15:14 |
| Nitricacid | Devistator: google. | 15:14 |
| Devistator | what should I search under? | 15:14 |
| Nitricacid | "ubuntu hacks" | 15:15 |
| Lynet | Devistator: ssh 127.13.65.12. Same username/password as your own. Mess around and have fun with the poor pwned dude. | 15:15 |
| robg_ | STSX: maintaining a dual-boot system becomes a pain-in-the-neck due to constant switching between OSes. | 15:15 |
| Nitricacid | or ubuntu tips + tricks | 15:15 |
| Wires | err that's a word processor | 15:15 |
| Devistator | wow, thanks | 15:15 |
| soundray | Wires: do not use su please. Use sudo <command> -- for example 'sudo nano' to open an editor as root. | 15:15 |
| Devistator | bbl | 15:15 |
| Nitricacid | I want to play .mp3 files that are in my windows partition in linux. But when i try to access the drives in nautilus it says they cannot be mounted? Anyone know how to do this? | 15:15 |
| soundray | Wires: for gedit and other graphical programs, use 'gksudo gedit' or similar | 15:15 |
| STSX | pdub: Hang on a minute... | 15:15 |
| Wires | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 15:15 |
| Wires | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 15:15 |
| Wires | that's why im trying to use su | 15:15 |
| bazhang | Devistator, lifehacker also | 15:16 |

| wers | i have to print my homework on a short bond paper but I do not know what paper size to set on openoffice.org. how does openoffice.org call a short bond paper? | 15:16 |
| Lynet | pdub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G#head-3c27b1fe906b037b438cebcdcdb702d0afa5bd3d | 15:16 |
| Wires | but if I would want to use su in the future.. why would su password give me auth failure? | 15:16 |
| Nitricacid | wers: you wrote a paper on james bond!? | 15:16 |
| Pici | Wires: Because the root account is locked by default. | 15:17 |
| robg_ | wers: my experience with OpenOffice is that it automatically formats to the right size. | 15:17 |
| wers | Nitricacid, in our country, we call the size "short bond paper" | 15:17 |
| soundray | Nitricacid: if nautilus can't mount your Windows partition, it may not have been unmounted properly before. Boot Windows and do a clean shutdown. | 15:17 |
| wers | i don't know what to set on oo.o | 15:17 |
| Wires | ah yes, ok thank you | 15:17 |
| remoteCTR1 | if i dont boot into gnome failsafe i get a all white screen after upgrading to hardy, any odeas please? | 15:17 |

| Nitricacid | soundray: ok BRB | 15:17 |
| bob1122 | Anyone use OSS4, oss doesnt appear as a selection in gnome sound applet | 15:17 |
| Lynet | Wires: sudo bash will give you a root shell. Ubuntu is sorta designed to force you to enter a password every time you want to change system stuff. | 15:17 |
| robg_ | wers: I just type a letter into the default paper size and the printer returns a perfect letter. | 15:18 |
| jmacpherson | Wires: to switch to root use 'sudo su -' | 15:18 |
| Wires | ok.. now im getting configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 15:18 |

| simplexio | has nyone has similiar problems with via s3 unichrome rev02, X starts but it stays blank. live cd did work but for somereson desktop was much bigger than screen | 15:18 |
| ubottu | jmacpherson: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 15:18 |
| Wires | when trying to configure xchat | 15:18 |

| jmacpherson | however if dpkg is complaining about a locked folder it's usually because there's another apt (or synaptic or whatnot) process going on, like the fetch updates tool | 15:19 |

| HymnToLife | !patience | remoteCTR1 | 15:19 |
| ubottu | remoteCTR1: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 15:19 |
| Slart | soundray: thanks.. I have to start writing this stuff down or something =) | 15:20 |
| bob1122 | remoteCTR1, same ..been having a sound problem no ones responding on ubuntu forums either | 15:20 |
| wirelessdreamer | what command can i use with apt-cache, or a similar command to see the files provided by a given package? | 15:20 |
| Wires | install | 15:20 |
| TritonX | remote: probably your video card that doesn't support a function | 15:20 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: This is with nvidia graphics? | 15:20 |
| k1dugar | remoteCTR1: what is you graphic problem | 15:20 |
| hoggie | wirelessdreamer : try apt-cache search "bla" | 15:20 |
| remoteCTR1 | jmacpherson: nope its a ati and it worked just fine until i upgraded to hardy | 15:20 |
| bob1122 | 1. I cant select oss 4 in gnome sound menu, so i get no system sounds, 2. I get no sound in half life singleplayer, but 1.6 and HLDM work and have sound. | 15:21 |
| remoteCTR1 | k1dugar: i get an all white screen after login since i upgraded to hardy | 15:21 |
| bob1122 | For the second problem i must have bumped the topic on the ubuntu forum about 600 times | 15:21 |
| bob1122 | still have yet to get a response | 15:21 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: I had issues (on nvidia) the fix was to remove xserver-xgl | 15:21 |
| wirelessdreamer | hoggie: search only checks package names, it doesn't say what files are provided, so i can't find where it gets installed to | 15:21 |
| remoteCTR1 | xgl? | 15:21 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: upgraded driver, then reinstalled and was okay | 15:21 |
| Wires | ok, when configuring I get error 'coud not find glib' | 15:21 |
| soundray | bob1122: sure way to annoy people. Have you thought about restating/rephrasing your problem? Adding extra information? | 15:21 |
| Slart | bob1122: use aoss to run oss software with alsa.. | 15:22 |
| remoteCTR1 | jmacpherson: you mean from the nvidia site directly? i haven't tried tha tyet... | 15:22 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: Yeah, it was what I was using for the nifty bouncing graphics etc. | 15:22 |
| remoteCTR1 | jmacpherson: is that a nvidia related thing or is that also there for an ati card? | 15:22 |
| bob1122 | soundray: almost every bump I did updated the issue.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=796994 see for yourself | 15:22 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: No not from the nvidia site, but when I upgraded to Hardy, I got the white screen. The solution for me was to stop using the XGL xserver (which was providing me with the fancy graphics) | 15:22 |
| hoggie | wirelessdreamer : i didnt get what you wanna do? you want to check which pkg's need to be installed also when installing a specific pkg? or where its installed too? | 15:22 |
| Lynet | soundray: What would be dangerous with sudo bash compared to sudo -i? The RootSudo wiki says the second should be used but doesn't explain why as far as I can see. | 15:22 |
| bob1122 | Slart: I removed alsa. u cant use OSS4 and alsa at the same time.. and OSS4 is the only thing that supports my sound card (Creative X FI) | 15:23 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: I am not sure, mine was nvidia but I *think* the problem applied to both | 15:23 |
| hoggie | Hey.. which application allows me to add subtitles to a movie? (to play it together and also to create a new file with vid+subtitles)?? | 15:23 |
| bob1122 | Slart: so I dont really have a choice between OSS and ALSA right now | 15:23 |
| remoteCTR1 | jmacpherson: what fancy gafcs are you precisely relating to? i hope you dont mean compiz? | 15:23 |
| wirelessdreamer | hoggie: no i want th check what files get installed when i install a package, like where it puts its binaries and config files | 15:23 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: Yes compiz etc. but for some reason I also had the xserver-xgl package installed, removing this fixed the problem. ymmv | 15:24 |
| remoteCTR1 | jmacpherson: in that case thanks for the hint dude i'll try that out!:) | 15:24 |
| bob1122 | soundray: I have also posted on the WINE appdb, and some other forums , no one can help me fix it | 15:24 |
| Slart | bob1122: ah.. you're a creative-victim.. sorry to hear that.. well.. I don't really have anything more to add.. never played around with oss .. sorry | 15:24 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: I now have compiz running but do not have the xserver-xgl package installed | 15:25 |
| jmacpherson | remoteCTR1: Cool, good luck! (I understand the frustration! ;) | 15:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | why would video be extremely slow and choppy in totem and mplayer, yet play fine in dragon player or vlc? | 15:25 |
| hoggie | wirelessdreamer : hmm.. i dont know how to check that.. i just know that usually u can find it in /usr/sbin /usr/share /sbin | 15:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | gstreamer issues? | 15:25 |
| bob1122 | Slart: yeah..it sucks. But before OSS4 came out it was even worse, the only help I got was people saying "Just buy another sound card" like I can just pull 100 bucks out of my rear end | 15:25 |
| hoggie | !subtitles | 15:25 |
| ubottu | Factoid subtitles not found | 15:25 |
| soundray | Lynet: the difference is a sane environment. Most people would expect a full root environment when they see a # prompt. If you run sudo bash or sudo su or other root shell commands, your environment is incomplete, e.g. $HOME points to your user home instead of /root/ | 15:25 |
| remoteCTR1 | jmacpherson: hehe yeah after all i have now been googling for an hour and a half... | 15:25 |
| hoggie | how can i inject subtitles to a movie file?? | 15:26 |
| soundray | bob1122: maybe there is no solution then | 15:26 |
| wirelessdreamer | hoggie: its a web app, but nothing got added to /var/www roundcube | 15:26 |
| bob1122 | soundray: so im supposed to just deal with no sound? | 15:26 |
| jmacpherson | soundray: any idea of the difference provided by 'sudo su -' ? | 15:26 |
| Lynet | soundray: Ah. Gotcha. Kinda obvious really, facepalm moment on my part. | 15:27 |
| soundray | jmacpherson: there is none that I am aware of. But people are going to forget the - and run into trouble. That's why I support ubottu's stance on this: sudo -i for rootshells, anything else is of the evil. | 15:28 |
| legend2440 | bob1122: is oss-compat installed? | 15:28 |
| jmacpherson | soundray: fair enough - old habits die hard :-) will read the man pages, thanks! | 15:28 |
| hoggie | wirelessdreamer : you know which command runs the application? | 15:28 |
| soundray | bob1122: you can always ask Creative better to support open source driver development | 15:28 |
| STSX | soundray: Please excuse the interjection, but I was following what you were telling Lynet; if I do "sudo su" and then "echo $HOME" it shows my home as /root, not my user's home directory. Did I miss something? | 15:29 |
| wirelessdreamer | hoggie: thats why i need to find out what it installs, no command runs it, its web browser based | 15:29 |
| hoggie | how can i inject subtitles to a movie file?? | 15:29 |
| Silex | hi, how do I find out in which libghc6 package is `Control.Parallel.Strategies' | 15:29 |

| bob1122 | legend2440: I did a apt-get install..i guess it 2wasnnt installed, do I have to reboot my pc now? | 15:30 |
| hoggie | wirelessdreamer : whats the name of it? you cab find / -name <filename> | 15:30 |
| jmacpherson | STSX: Some variables won't be initialised properly - I'm not 100% sure of the differences but I know that sudo su - (or this sudo -i) is required to run your root login scripts properly | 15:30 |
| wirelessdreamer | hoggie: package is called roundcore-webmail | 15:30 |
| bob1122 | soundray: I just read on the alsa site that creative has suipplied the alsa team with data sheets for the xfi and the card was delivered to the team, development work has started | 15:30 |

| wirelessdreamer | hoggie: using find still won't tell me if it installed a file that doesn't have that name in it | 15:31 |
| jmacpherson | STSX: your /root/.bash_rc will NOT be run if you only 'sudo su' | 15:31 |
| soundray | STSX: indeed, it does here, too... This has changed from previous Ubuntu versions. | 15:31 |

| STSX | jmacpherson: Interesting, you could always ". .bashrc" if you need to I guess, or could you even ". .*" to try and run all .files? Just curious, since I've always wanted to know some of the subtleties of "sudo su" (would explain why things don't work sometimes as expected)> | 15:34 |

| Lynet | STSX: Just did quick test. There are differences in at least COLOURTERM, PATH, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY and some SUDO_* between sudo su and sudo su - | 15:34 |
| soundray | Lynet: did you look at the sudo -i environment, too? | 15:35 |
| STSX | Lynet: Interesting... what if you do like I suggested to jmacpherson and manually run all the .files to initialize everything? | 15:35 |
| soundray | Lynet: the SUDO_* stuff is not that important, of course. XAUTHORITY could be, though | 15:35 |
| jmacpherson | STSX: yeah now I'm curious. try this, if you sudo -i, you get a root login and get dumped into /root/ as the current dir | 15:35 |

| Wires | I've installed it in the past to a new installation of Ubuntu with no problems | 15:41 |
| andy56_uk | Update on sudo problem. System was 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16 but seems to have been updated to 2.6.24-17. Earlier kernel works, but later one doesn't. From GRUB I chose the recovery boot mode, did 'Repair broken packages' and was able to do 'Drop to root shell prompt'. Things still work in kernel -16 but not in -17. | 15:41 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: http://pastebin.com/d29ce96b7 | 15:42 |

| iop | who reigned in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge.from the middle of the gorge.to the Jabbok River, which is the border of the Ammonites. This included half of Gilead. 3 He also ruled over the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Kinnereth [a] to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea [b] ), to Beth Jeshimoth, and then southward below the slopes of Pisgah. | 15:44 |

| Lynet | Wires: Looks like you're missing some gtk-dev stuff. sudo apt-get build-dep xchat should pull in most/all of the -dev packages you need. | 15:44 |
| andy56_uk | soundray: Sorry, didn't try that yet, but it occurs in both kernel versions, so probably not a factor in the sudo problem. sudo problem was highlighted when I tried to run VirtualBox and got 'VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. ... Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup''. Note that VirtualBox still works in kernel -16. | 15:44 |

| andy56_uk | soundray: Ok, will do that now and come back later. | 15:46 |
| SwedeMike | Armada: are you sure it says 46 gig in use? or have you calculated that from amount of free space? | 15:46 |
| soundray | Armada: those are probably the reserved blocks | 15:46 |
| Lynet | Wires: apt-get build-dep is a great timesaver if you for some reason want to build from source instead of pulling the binary from repos. :-) | 15:46 |
| STSX | jmacpherson: I agree, but I'll give you a case where you would want to use gksudo to run terminal commands: say you are writing a bash script that you want to run from one of the Gnome menus, and need to run some commands as root, but you don't want the whole script run as root. If you put "sudo <cmd>" in the script, you won't be able to run the script since sudo has no terminal to ask your... | 15:46 |

| STSX | jmacpherson: That's an example from personal experience, not hypothetical... :) | 15:47 |
| coobe | need help with Derive under Wine ! | 15:48 |
| fredh | squidly: Yep, the Player version, but I thougth only the "guest" os would need special drivers. Also it has been installed for at least a week, why "restricted drivers" now? | 15:48 |
| === x-spec-t is now known as Spec | ||
| Lynet | STSX: Sounds like a feature request for sudo - if it has no terminal but has $display then pop up a gui password prompt. | 15:48 |
| bazhang | ziod, you could either add the proposed repos or compile yourself; this is highly unadvisable however. | 15:49 |
| squidly | fredh: vmware has to hook in to the kernel for hardware access. | 15:49 |
| squidly | that may be where it comes from | 15:49 |
| squidly | fredh: what does lsmod show? | 15:49 |
| WaxyFresh | Hi im having problems setting the path to java in opera. ive tried yelling at opera and it has no effect. does anyone have a better idea? | 15:49 |

| STSX | Lynet: Yes, I agree. But I found an easy workaround: "gksudo true && sudo <command to run>" which basically let's gksudo ask for your password, and then let's sudo do the dirty work since you just entered your password. | 15:50 |
| WaxyFresh | How do i see a list of all running proceses? | 15:50 |
| jmacpherson | STSX: Fair point - and good example. Had forgotten that I have done the same myself (to mount NFS shares at work). Though I guess it's never been an issue for me because the script run from the gksudo handled it's own environmental issues (or ignored them by using absolute paths!) | 15:50 |
| soundray | cjohnson: use a symbolic link instead (man ln) | 15:50 |
| Armada | soundray: it's a new drive that is only going to contain data, no programs at all. What is the absolute minimum? 1%? | 15:50 |
| bob1122 | WHeres a good starting point for programming in linux? I kno a small amount of C++ | 15:50 |
| squidly | fredh: look for anything with the name vm* in it | 15:50 |
| cjohnson | soundray, Is there a particular reason to use a symbolic link? | 15:50 |
| Pici | WaxyFresh: ps aux | 15:50 |
| jmacpherson | STSX: Oh, how premptive laziness has saved me time and time again! | 15:51 |
| squidly | fredh: 10-1 its got some networking and sound, and usb | 15:51 |
| squidly | it may have more as well | 15:51 |
| cjohnson | soundray, I've done it with a folder to folder before, and it just seems to be a bit more flawless (for example ls -al will show it as a folder, as opposed to a folder linking to another folder) | 15:51 |
| Lynet | fredh: The host OS needs some vmware drivers for vmware to run. lsmod should show at least vmnet, vmblock, vmci and vmmon. | 15:51 |
| ziod | bazhang, soundray, ubottu: thanks! I'll check out backports... | 15:51 |
| STSX | jmacpherson: :) | 15:51 |
| Lynet | fredh: At least, those are the ones vmware workstation 6.5 beta installs on my hardy. | 15:51 |
| bazhang | ziod, one of us is a bot :) | 15:51 |
| soundray | Armada: I'm sure you can set it to 0, but don't do it before you know why ext2/3 has this reserved blocks feature. | 15:52 |
| squidly | Lynet: correct. I have not used vmware for a while | 15:52 |
| Khisanth | cjohnson: there are mount options, --bind, --rbind, --move depending on your needs | 15:52 |
| amorphous_ | hey guys | 15:52 |
| Armada | soundray: to reserve space for the root so it can write to the disk even when it's full, right? | 15:52 |
| soundray | cjohnson: you can always mount a device twice, but you have to call it by the block device name, not by the existing mount point | 15:52 |
| fredh | squidly: Cool, will do. Thanks a lot. | 15:52 |
| fredh | Lynet: Thanks I just get a little paranoid when stuff like that pops up when I didn't take any action (well I did install, but nothing happened for over a week) | 15:52 |

| m-c | jmacpherson: should I be able to "spin the cube" by default ? | 16:07 |
| ubuntuisloved | ahh found it guys ....xkill does the trick? not sure why | 16:08 |
| the_eraser | i cant open /etc/mtab. surely this must be something wrong? | 16:08 |
| jmacpherson | m-c: I think the default is "desktop wall" which allows ctrl+alt+<arrow key> to slide between virtual desktops | 16:08 |
| jamey-uk | I can only write to my HFS Plus partition as root, how can I get it to work for regular users too? | 16:08 |
| jmacpherson | m-c: the compiz settings app will allow you to enable the cube instead | 16:08 |
| m-c | jmacpherson: the shortcut is not functioning right now... maybe I need to install that package first? | 16:09 |
| yamanickill | could a wonky RAM connection create a kernel panic{ | 16:09 |
| soundray | jamey-uk: I have no specific information on hfsplus, but you could make a directory inside the filesystem with group write permissions and a group that all your users belong to | 16:09 |
| nuambenzina | hello, i just did an ubuntu install and I get an Grub Error 17 coud someone help? The first primary master hdd is 80 G with xp on it with the xp-`s MBR (witch I wish to remain untouched) and second one is with Ubuntu and fc | 16:09 |
| ubuntuisloved | soundray, actually xkill killed it from xscreen but the dang thing is still running...time to reboot | 16:09 |
| soundray | jamey-uk: or you could explore the umask, uid and gid settings that that particular filesystem driver offers (probably described in man mount or man hfsplus) | 16:09 |
| m-c | just wish there was a manual for the default compiz configuration. I am not wanting to load anything extra, just to know what is already enabled. | 16:10 |
| Greencoat1982 | Did anyone else have their display setting jacked up after running yesterdays updates? | 16:10 |
| jmacpherson | m-c: someone correct me if I'm wrong but you should get at least the wall running if you go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and select either "Normal or Extra" | 16:10 |
| m-c | jmacpherson: just checked again, and Extra is enabled here | 16:11 |
| yamanickill | could a wonky RAM connection create a kernel panic? | 16:11 |
| snoop | hello, somebody can help me with a library permission problem. I have openldap and the process deb4.2_recover call lib but the lib is forbiden for any user, anyone have an idea? | 16:11 |
| jmacpherson | m-c: yeah that's the best I know. but if you install the app, it won't enable anything extra unless you tell it to, but you can see from the app what is currently enabled and what the shortcuts are | 16:11 |
| m-c | jmacpherson: wish that "Help" button worked on that GUI page, that'd be the place to describe the functions | 16:11 |
| soundray | yamanickill: yes | 16:11 |
| jmacpherson | m-c: fair complaint though :) | 16:11 |
| moe_ | H | 16:11 |
| m-c | jmacpherson: thanks again for your advice | 16:12 |
| jmacpherson | m-c: no problems, good luck! | 16:12 |
| moe_ | Good afternoon! | 16:12 |
| jamey-uk | How do I make my HFSPlus partition writable by normal users, not just root? | 16:12 |
| soundray | jamey-uk: what was the problem with my replies? | 16:12 |
| yamanickill | soundray: if i were to take out the RAM from the slot, could it still do it? | 16:12 |
| legend2440 | the_eraser: right click mtab choose properties>open with select text editor | 16:13 |
| moe_ | How do I prevent my ubuntu from hard-freeze with the new kernel? Problem is caused imho by the b43 driver | 16:13 |
| Lynet | yamanickill: Wonky ram can cause all sorts of random problems, inkluding kernel panics. | 16:13 |
| soundray | yamanickill: it depends on the exact nature of the fault. BTW, don't remove RAM from a running system (not sure if you were going to) | 16:13 |
| moe_ | first connection ist lost, then my keyboard freezes and then the whole system halts | 16:13 |
| kane | yeah thats bad | 16:13 |
| andy56_uk | soundray: Started up kernel -16 and edited hosts to ensure the expected machine name was in there. The sudo and gksudo problems now seem to have gone away in kernel -17, though the VirtualBox driver problem still occurred. As I now have root access, I was able to fix this. Thanks very much for your help, and now the question we all hate. Any idea why in incorrect host name would affect sudo in kerynel -17? | 16:14 |
| gub | heh | 16:14 |
| jamey-uk | soundray: sorry, missed them, thanks. But I'd like to make the whole HDD writeable (or at least by my normal user account). I have it listed in fstab and can successfully mount and unmount it based on those settings | 16:14 |
| yamanickill | soundray: i just broke one of my RAM slots and whenever i boot anything, it has a kernel panic | 16:14 |
| soundray | jamey-uk: see my second reply | 16:14 |
| soundray | yamanickill: it may be a deep-seated electrical fault on your mainboard | 16:15 |
| jmacpherson | yamanickill: I believe the memtestx86 is still shipped on the ubuntu cds (and is a boot menu option). run that test and see if it confirms your issue. If it fails without the RAM even installed, then you could be in for some bad news | 16:15 |
| soundray | andy56_uk: incorrect host names always affect sudo | 16:15 |
| andy56_uk | yamanickill: the memtest utility is available on the installation CD on the startup menu. | 16:16 |
| jamey-uk | soundray: i'm working on a large 26in TV, sorry i missed them ;) will look into umask, uid and gid, thanks | 16:16 |
| daddy | hello i need a help | 16:16 |
| mouz | Hi all. I installed an unsupported package using synaptic. It hang during the postinst script. Where can I report that fact? | 16:16 |
| andy56_uk | soundray: Thanks again, and will bear that in mind in future. | 16:16 |
| daddy | i have ubuntu (8.04) and i can't open my modem ( PLANET ADU 2110A USB ADSL ) help | 16:16 |
| robg_ | daddy: normally an Ubuntu install should do an automatic DHCP. | 16:17 |
| bazhang | daddy, open a terminal and type ifconfig | 16:18 |
| tzd | was there a kernel update or something similar the past 2-3 days please? | 16:18 |
| bazhang | tzd yes | 16:18 |
| daddy | now i can't becaue i m in house's freind | 16:18 |
| Lynet | tzd: -17. | 16:18 |
| tzd | bazhang: i see. I automatically upgraded to that one and now my computer loads constantly whn running on that new kernel? | 16:19 |
| bazhang | daddy, come back when you can troubleshoot the machine directly | 16:19 |
| yorky501 | hi need help. I am having kernel problems since upgrading to version 8.04. pc fails to boot frequently and gives error acpi read timeout anyideas ? | 16:19 |
| tzd | Lynet: yep that's the one, thx | 16:19 |
| dkT | Anyone familiar with installing vmware server (latest) on ubuntu 8.04? | 16:19 |
| soundray | daddy: not all USB ADSL modems are supported. See if your modem has an Ethernet interface for internal connections (aside from the WAN port). If so, use that instead of the USB connection | 16:20 |
| daddy | soundray ok but | 16:21 |
| daddy | soundray you can't tell me driver or other file ? | 16:21 |
| bob1122 | hey soundray: remember that issue I was tellin u guys about before..well I checked "Driver emulation" under audio in wine and no sound works in hl1 single player | 16:21 |
| yorky501 | anyone able to help with kernel issues? | 16:21 |
| irodders | I can't seem to identify any blank dvd+rw discs inserted, any one has any ideas? | 16:22 |
| tzd | will try to boot up in the previous kernel and see if that helps, pretty sure it has to do with that new kernel :/ | 16:22 |
| tzd | brb | 16:22 |
| soundray | daddy: if that's not an option, try to identify the line in the output from 'lsusb' that corresponds to your modem. It contains a USB ID -- do a web search on that ID and "ubuntu" | 16:22 |
| yamanickill | ahhh i think i've fixed it soundray...i think it just wasn't in properly...schoolboy error lol | 16:22 |
| magnetron | how do i a modify the pulseaudio settings? i heard that pulseaudio support per-application sound levels | 16:22 |
| soundray | bob1122: great, well done! Please update your forums thread with that info (if you haven't already done so) | 16:22 |
| boselect | NIGGERWHAT | 16:23 |
| bob1122 | soundray: will do | 16:23 |
| bob1122 | soundray: also the #OSS room helped me fix system sounds, i needed to install esd | 16:23 |
| Ell1 | irodders: Maybe a stupid question, but are you sure it supports "dvd+rw"? I made a mistake like that once | 16:24 |
| WelshDragon | Hey. I'm looking into to buying a video capture card in order to hook my sky box up to my laptop, so I can watch TV on it. Anyone know of any captures cards which working on ubuntu? | 16:24 |
| m-c | compiz keyboard shortcuts - enabled by ubuntu desktop effects >> http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ | 16:24 |
| legend2440 | irodders: i cant either. when i load blank dvd rw it doesn't load and brasero says no disc. cd's, dvd's cdrw's work fine | 16:24 |
| irodders | yeah, used to burn using 6.06LTS now with 8.04LTS it doesn't work even with dvd+rw-tools loaded | 16:24 |
| yusuo | hey im having trouble getting audio running in video files | 16:25 |
| yorky501 | has anyone else had problems with the new kernel in 8.04 | 16:25 |
| irodders | blank dvd+rw is ok, dvd+r is the problem. I spotted the problem with my old script files, it can't be read with windows machines | 16:25 |
| soundray | bob1122: I think Ubuntu is abandoning esd for pulseaudio... In any case, if Creative are cooperating on the XFi drivers now, you shouldn't have any more problems in future Ubuntu versions. | 16:25 |
| legend2440 | irodders: exact same experience here. i dont know maybe my burner is getting too old or something. i dont have windows installed so i cant see if it works under windows or not | 16:25 |
| cgentry72 | i cannot sudo anything, says unable to resolve hostname | 16:26 |
| soundray | !hostname | cgentry72 | 16:26 |
| ubottu | cgentry72: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 16:26 |
| irodders | it will read burnt dvd+r from other machines ok | 16:26 |
| soundray | cgentry72: boot in recovery mode to apply the fix ^^ | 16:26 |
| irodders | somewhere some setting is missing from the old dvd+rw-tools | 16:26 |
| cgentry72 | soundray: ok thanks | 16:26 |
| legend2440 | irodders: oh my problem is different. dvd rw's are the ones mine won't read or load | 16:27 |
| bob1122 | how do i change ubuntu forum thread title to say SOLVED | 16:27 |
| WaxyFresh | is there an advanced GUI app for editing startup files/deamons/programs? if theres not an advanced one i could use anything. i seam to recall a appwith the word dog in it? | 16:27 |
| irodders | legend did you install the dvd+rw-tools package | 16:28 |
| ragas | xsession | 16:28 |
| Afromonkey0 | i've got a tenacious little virus on my hands and I need your help to get rid of it. | 16:28 |
| legend2440 | irodders: i was going to buy different brand dvdrw to see if it made difference. havent yet though | 16:28 |
| gustavonarea | Hello, everybody. Where can I learn about the advantages of Ubuntu Hardy vs Gutsy on the server? I have a server running Gutsy and I'd like to know if I should upgrade. Thanks in advance. | 16:28 |
| soundray | bob1122: if you don't get a response here, try #ubuntuforums | 16:28 |
| irodders | legend2440, Have you installed dvd+rw-tools ? | 16:29 |
| legend2440 | bob1122: you got it working? | 16:29 |
| soundray | gustavonarea: the main benefit is probably the five years of support | 16:29 |
| soundray | !lts | gustavonarea | 16:29 |
| ubottu | gustavonarea: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 16:29 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: yes, I had to check "driver emulation" in the wine audio tab | 16:29 |
| legend2440 | bob1122: great | 16:30 |
| nuambenzina | can someone help me out with Grub? | 16:30 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: that was to fix half life, to fix system sounds i had to install ESD | 16:30 |
| soundray | !grub | nuambenzina | 16:30 |
| ubottu | nuambenzina: 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 | 16:30 |
| legend2440 | irodders yes dvd+rw is installed | 16:30 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: thanks for the tip about the #oss room, they solved this issue | 16:30 |
| vincenz | Hello, how do I install the 32 bit version of a package alongside the 64bit one that is already installed? | 16:30 |
| gustavonarea | soundray: but there's no other noticeable enhancement? | 16:30 |
| nuambenzina | I can't boot the system | 16:30 |

| nuambenzina | soundray 10q | 16:31 |
| soundray | gustavonarea: I'm sure there are, but I'm not informed... | 16:31 |
| legend2440 | bob1122: is esd a package in synaptic? | 16:31 |
| vincenz | Basically I want python2.4 in 32bit version on my computer which has the 64bit installed, how would I go about doing this? | 16:31 |
| Lynet | yorky501: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/191137 | 16:31 |
| utab_ | hi there, I was trying to upgrade my system to 8.04, during the upgrade close to the end, I got some errors and the upgrade | 16:32 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 191137 in linux "[Hardy] ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) stops boot when kernel boot 'quiet' option is enabled or AC power is connected" [High,In progress] | 16:32 |

| utab_ | ideas | 16:32 |
| yorky501 | lynet : you had this problem? | 16:32 |
| kekkkk | how to troubleshoot an extremely slow ftp connection (comes down to 0.5kB/s while it could be 120kB/s) when I know the problem is not the server I'm connecting to? | 16:32 |
| icqnumber | ppl what irc client can you recomend me? i'm using konversation at the moment | 16:32 |
| Lynet | yorky501: I just searched for your problem in the ubuntu bug database. ;-) | 16:32 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: i had to do a sudo apt-get install..h/o let me find the package names | 16:32 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: it still doesnt appear in gnome sound menu, but it works somehow lol | 16:33 |
| ppw | Joshua 22 | 16:33 |
| ppw | Eastern Tribes Return Home | 16:33 |
| ppw | 1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh 2 and said o them, "You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded. 3 For a long time now.to this very day.you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you. 4 Now that the LORDD your God has given your brothers rest as he promised, return to your ho | 16:33 |
| ppw | 6 Then Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their homes. 7 (To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan with their brothers.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them, 8 saying, "Return to your homes with your great wealth.with large herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze and iron, and a great quantity of clothi | 16:33 |
| yorky501 | lynet ; thanks for that wasn't aware of said database | 16:33 |
| utab_ | how may I start my system in text mode | 16:33 |
| soundray | utab_: just once, or always? | 16:34 |
| bob1122 | legend2440: it had to have been ESD because as soon as I installed it, then logged out and back in to restart gnome, I heard the ubuntu startup music for the first time | 16:34 |
| Lynet | yorky501: There are a couple work-arounds listed in that bug report. It is related to some timing issue, so even just removing "quiet splash" from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst might make it work most of the time for you. | 16:34 |
| utab_ | soundray, did you read my previous post, the problem is that upgrade to 8.04 broke my system | 16:34 |
| l0rddrag0n | hello | 16:34 |
| utab_ | soundray, I can not boot now, | 16:34 |
| etyrnal | is there a way to change the setting of gdm's screen resolution ftom the cli ? | 16:35 |
| soundray | utab_: boot in recovery mode: hit Esc during boot to see the grub menu, select the second option. | 16:35 |
| robg_ | utab: these things happen. | 16:35 |
| utab_ | soundray, thx | 16:35 |
| vincenz | Any suggestions on how to reistall a package as a 32bit? (namely python) Preferably without having the packages that depend on it reinstall | 16:35 |
| soundray | utab_: from there, run 'apt-get -f install ; dpkg --configure -a' and repeat until the output remains unchanged | 16:35 |
| utab_ | soundray, I will see | 16:36 |
| gooody | anybody here knows how to view sites with vbscript here in ubuntu? | 16:36 |

| soundray | LordMetroid: and that is not output from find . -type f | 16:43 |
| LordMetroid | You didn't have that in the beginning of topic so I didn't see it | 16:43 |
| l0rddrag0n | ok | 16:43 |
| LordMetroid | no, but the output of find . -type f gives the same files even though there are multiple numer of links | 16:43 |
| twisties | Hi, I just installed Hardy and I'm having troubles with DPKG errors, every time i try to isntall something | 16:43 |
| soundray | LordMetroid: I thought you meant a command to display only files that are not links | 16:44 |
| legend2440 | bob1122: you are now an expert on that card . you should write a how to. i know when stuff like that doesn't work how frustrating it can be. it drives me nuts till i find a solution | 16:44 |
| LordMetroid | I want to know which are seperate and unique | 16:44 |
| soundray | LordMetroid: you can look through the output of ls -l -- if anything starts with 'l' (that's lower case L) it's a link | 16:44 |

| LordMetroid | So how do I know which are seperate and unique files? | 16:56 |

| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 17:08 |

| Lynet | Georgij: Using virtualization software like vmware or virtualbox, you can install a full Windows inside a "fake PC" that runs under linux. The problem is that some stuff (especially accelerated graphics) will be slow or not work at all. Using Wine you can run windows pograms directly in Linux. The problem is that Wine is not a 100% complete copy of windows, so some programs won't work properly. | 17:23 |

| Lynet | agares: Google is probably your best bet. There are so many different wifi adapters around and ndiswrapper is kinda a hack so googling for your particular adapter and ndiswrapper is usually the best short for finding out how to make it work. | 17:29 |

| anirudh0 | can data be recovered from a scratched dvd? | 17:31 |
| sap | age of empires 2 works | 17:31 |
| meltingclock | i guess what i meant to ask is; if im downloading updates through the update manager...and my connection is lost, there shouldnt be a problem of corrupted files or anything of that nature, right? ie it wont try to install files that arent complete or try to install something without the dependencies already dled too, ? | 17:31 |
| anirudh0 | cp does'nt work...gives "Input/Output error" | 17:31 |
| Lynet | agares: Unless someone here has the same adapter and has signal strength working, the only answer I can give you is "google for it". Sorry. :-/ | 17:31 |

| agares | Lynet: ;(( tnx anyway... | 17:31 |
| kekkkk | how to troubleshoot an extremely slow ftp connection (comes down to 0.5kB/s while it could be 120kB/s) when I know the problem is not the server I'm connecting to? I use firestarter as my firewall front end and disabling the firewall doesn't change anything. it's not my router, as I can upload files fine from another computer on the same network. I am, however, connecting to the router via wifi (broadcom card with ndiswrapper) | 17:32 |
| Xbehave | ahh in that case its probabl not caused by ubuntu and asking in wine is a good idea, just that they get pissed off when we send too many people over there, by hl1 i meant half life one engine games | 17:32 |

| atc_ | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 17:50 |
| Slart | connor: mounting them | 17:50 |

| m13 | agares: i ont have intel, cant help much , did u try restricted drivers ? | 17:51 |
| fperalta | everybody know linux | 17:51 |
| Lynet | robg_: File system drivers tend to get so.. temperamental.. when you move stuff around without telling it. ;-p | 17:51 |
| connor | i just want to extract/look inside them | 17:51 |

| stothepizzle | if the other machine is not logged in? | 17:51 |
| aegzor1 | it was on a gentoo system (different linux) | 17:51 |
| stu | agares: lsmod | 17:51 |
| agares | m13 restricted drivers??? i want to turn it off not on.... | 17:52 |

| m13 | agares: lsmod | 17:52 |
| atc_ | Jack_Sparrow: cool | 17:52 |
| babolat | aegzor1: you've had that problem before? ...i really hope you could remember O:-) | 17:52 |
| robg_ | Lynet: first you do a defrag, en then reduce the size from within the OS and then use gparted for further reductions. | 17:52 |
| connor | hello what do you reccomend for opening and extracting .img files | 17:52 |

| babolat | ill go check, jah | 17:53 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard4: Ctrl+M | 17:53 |
| Slart | markotitel: it can do all the weird stuff the normal live cd can't | 17:53 |
| stu | agares: I have no idea what you are looking for ? | 17:53 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard4: or alt+M..not sure which | 17:53 |

| === I2 is now known as Firestorm | ||
| Blastur | what could be wrong if I get silly slow speeds while unpacking rar archives in ubuntu? according to system monitor, cpu and disk is basically idle, and i got plenty of RAM free | 17:54 |
| Firestorm | Hej | 17:54 |
| agares | stu i want to turn off my internal wireless device..so i can fully use an USB one... i want to do "modprobe -r (modulename)" i can't find out what is the modulename for the device | 17:54 |
| Blastur | whats the bottleneck? | 17:54 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard4: you are very polite :) | 17:54 |
| Firestorm | Ups | 17:54 |
| Firestorm | wrong channel, i thought it was the danish channel | 17:54 |
| Firestorm | Cya | 17:54 |
| aegzor1 | Blastur: are you unpacking to same disk? | 17:55 |
| stu | agares: the module you suggested includes ipw2200 which is the model number of an intel wireless card if that helps | 17:55 |
| babolat | jah: Fonts for: "Western" Proportional: "Serif" Size: "16" Serif: "serif" Sans-serif "sans-serif" Monospace: "monospace" Size "12" Default Character Encoding: "Western (ISO-8859-1) Allow pages to choose their own...: "Yes" | 17:55 |

| === UdontKnow is now known as Wowbagger | ||
| aegzor1 | how slow is it? what size are the archives? | 17:55 |
| agares | stu i saw it in the lsmod... so if i turn that off it should work? :) | 17:55 |
| bullgard4 | anirudh0: Thanks to your message I was able to read again my mails. No small feat. | 17:55 |
| Blastur | though, the speed is very low! i get much better performance with windows xp (also same disk) | 17:55 |
| aegzor1 | ok | 17:55 |
| babolat | jah: you key in those settings after clicking the Advance button | 17:55 |
| stu | agares: I would guess... why not just configure the interface to be "down" permanently? | 17:55 |
| bazzieb | hey there, can i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 using the disk or will that do a fresh installation? | 17:55 |
| Blastur | is there anyway i can profile the system to see whats going on? | 17:56 |
| agares | stu how? | 17:56 |
| babolat | aegzor1: any brainfarts so far? | 17:56 |
| agares | stu why permanently... | 17:56 |
| stu | agares: by editing /etc/network/interfaces | 17:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bazzieb Use the alt for upgrade | 17:56 |
| Khisanth | Blastur: strace perhaps | 17:56 |
| stu | agares: because you want to live without it ? | 17:56 |
| agares | stu i want to turn it off when i want to... | 17:56 |
| bazzieb | alt? | 17:56 |
| agares | ;D | 17:56 |
| ghismo | hey guys i'm looking for the wine channel | 17:56 |
| icqnumber | all the time i restart my keyboard layout is reseted to usa default, any ideas howto fix it, known bug? | 17:56 |
| markotitel | alternate cd isntall is like normal instal just more options are avaliable? | 17:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ghismo winehq | 17:56 |
| stu | agares: ah.. then dont remove the module... you can just ifconfig waln0 down for example | 17:56 |
| babolat | !wine | ghismo | 17:56 |
| ubottu | ghismo: 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. | 17:56 |
| Lynet | Jack_Sparrow: You can't add the regular image as a software source and do an upgrade from that? | 17:56 |
| ghismo | thanksSparrow | 17:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lynet Not to my knowledge | 17:57 |
| stu | agares: ifconfig wlan0 up and ifconfig wlan0 down will control the interface | 17:57 |
| bazzieb | Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean alt? | 17:57 |
| agares | stu the problem is...that it's working ok with both turned on...just that i don't get the signal strength of the routers in the dropdown menu(list) with the USB.... the internal device does show the signals...the usb doesnt | 17:57 |
| agares | stu any idea? | 17:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bazzieb alternate install cd | 17:57 |
| icqnumber | all the time i restart my keyboard layout is reseted to usa default, any ideas howto fix it, known bug? | 17:57 |
| aegzor1 | babolat: you could try installing the latest driver directly from nvidias homepage | 17:58 |
| Lynet | !alternate | bazzieb | 17:58 |
| ubottu | bazzieb: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 17:58 |
| babolat | aegzor1: are those the ones in need of compiling? | 17:58 |
| bazzieb | ah, thanks | 17:58 |
| anirudh0 | anyone knows of a program to repair mp3's? | 17:58 |
| agares | stu the signal strength bars are empty...although i CAN connect via USB to the internet... but it's a problem not knowing which router has the best signal | 17:58 |
| robg_ | Lynet: Alternate is also much better quality. | 17:58 |
| aegzor1 | babolat: i think nvidia has binary drivers on their homepage, so no compiling would be necessary | 17:58 |
| stu | agares: nope, I experience that issue when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04... a fresh install of 8.04 fixed it though... perhaps you could "mark for complete removal" in synaptic the package that relates to the network manager (perhaps nm-applet) or something | 17:59 |
| jah | can some1 plz tell which is the default font used in firefox in Preferences/Content? | 17:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ What are you talking about | 17:59 |
| stu | agares: iwconfig will tell you the signal | 17:59 |
| agares | stu it DOES list routers and security type...but not signal strength | 17:59 |
| Lynet | robg_: Even if I burn it to a cheapo CD-R? ;-) | 17:59 |
| robg_ | Jack_Sparrow: in my opinion, Ubuntu Alternate is much better than Ubuntu Desktop. | 17:59 |
| stu | agares: there is a iwconfig scanning option (man iwconfig) that will output the signals | 17:59 |
| babolat | ok. i'll try it aegzor1.. are those any different from what the repos offer? since i haven't missed out on any updates since i got hardy | 18:00 |
| anirudh0 | robg_: does'nt it have exactly the same packages on it? | 18:00 |
| robg_ | Lynet: I always use cheapos. | 18:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ Has nothing to do with quality... | 18:00 |
| robg_ | anirudh): It is simply a more robust system. | 18:00 |
| agares | stu Link Quality:1/100 Signal level:-95 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm .... lol ... but it's not that bad i can download pretty fast... | 18:00 |
| aegzor1 | babolat: they might be newer than those in ubuntus repos, not really sure, i don't have nvidia anymore | 18:00 |
| aegzor1 | sorry i couldn't be more help :/ | 18:01 |
| anirudh0 | robg_: in what sense...do you mean the packages in alternate have security updates or something? | 18:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ It is the same but without the livecd feature.. Text based install... | 18:01 |
| SpookyET | Smart question, if emacs is so hated, why does almost everything have emacs or emacs-like keybindings by default? | 18:01 |
| robg_ | Jack_Sparrow: Do not porget that it was designed a an OEM OS. | 18:01 |

| rexy_ | when hibernating after powering up my machine skips trying to come back from hibernation and starts to normal boot. any pointers on where to look for the cause? | 18:02 |

| Jester45 | having / on a lvm shouldnt effect my sound system right? i just reinstalled to put my / on a lvm the 1st install was only 10 mins old so i didnt change anything but my sound isnt working anymore. lspci shows my device but thats it | 18:02 |
| agares | stu and i did not upgrade..i did a clean new install of 8.04... | 18:02 |
| Luhta | is there some way to remove a flash partition in windows? I need to repartition this thing so I can install ubuntu and I don't have a working cdrom | 18:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | anirudh0 I agree | 18:02 |
| anirudh0 | Lynet: k..will look at it | 18:02 |
| Jester45 | i know it sounds stupid but thats the only diffrence on the installs | 18:02 |
| aegzor1 | ctrl + alt + backspace also restarts Xorg right? is there a difference between that and using the init script? | 18:02 |
| absnt | How to I make a game launchable with just a command like "wow" when I open the term or command launcher | 18:02 |
| robg_ | anirudh0: Do not forget that Ubuntu Desktop is a transitional technology for dual-boot. | 18:02 |
| anirudh0 | robg_: i must correct my earlier statement..you are very sleepy or a little high :) | 18:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ Where are you getting your information | 18:03 |
| GranPawa | irc.langochat.net | 18:03 |
| absnt | How to I make a game launchable with just a command like "wow" when I open the term or command launcher | 18:04 |
| trolleh | Luhta: the partitions don't show up in disk management in windows? | 18:04 |
| robg_ | anirudh0: perhaps we are talking about different OSes. | 18:04 |
| Quintin | Where does kino store its temporary files ? | 18:04 |
| Luhta | absnt, the easy answer to that question is to put #!/bin/sh on the first line of the file then put the commands after which you would normally execute to launch it | 18:04 |
| anirudh0 | i think someone else is masquerading as robg_ | 18:04 |
| robg_ | Jack_Sparrow: I have it running on my PC. | 18:04 |
| Luhta | trolleh, yes however "delete" is disabled without much explanation | 18:04 |
| absnt | Luhta: On the first line of what file? | 18:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robg_ I dont know what to say about the advice you are giving | 18:05 |
| idefine | is it possible for me to run something via ssh, and have it show up on the display on the machine, so if i start firefox via ssh, it should show up on the display on the actual pc. | 18:05 |
| bazzieb | one more question, once i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, is there a rollback option by anychance? | 18:05 |
| Lynet | absnt: It needs to be in your $PATH. Either add a symlink in ~/bin/ or add the directory that wow is in to your PATH. | 18:05 |
| bullgard4 | bazzieb: No. | 18:05 |
| Luhta | absnt, a new file that you would create, search google for an introduction to shell scripting for mor information | 18:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bazzieb not unless you made a backup | 18:05 |
| bazzieb | backup is a good idea, thanks | 18:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !backup | 18:06 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| Seeker` | Jack_Sparrow: I would call it "interesting" advice | 18:06 |
| anirudh0 | bazzieb: a _full_ backup...including backing up /usr | 18:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 18:06 |
| robg_ | Jack_Sparrow: Ubuntu itself sells the system as an OEM system. | 18:06 |
| shadowman | can I use ubuntu aside from two other OS? I want to tripple boot with grub, and I would like to keep my Windows XP and another linux distro. is it posible? ofcourse all on differrent hdd partitions (mountpoints) | 18:06 |
| absnt | Luhta: the reason I ask is because im trying to use a command "nonXgl" to launch the game in its own X server but it doesnt work because the path to the game has spaces in it and using "\" doesn't work for some stupid reason. | 18:06 |
| icqnumber | !firefox | 18:06 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 18:06 |

| regeya | I've never had good luck with mondo/mindi | 18:07 |
| Luhta | absnt, you can try encasing the command in double quote's "command with spaces" without the excape character \ and it should work | 18:07 |
| Lynet | absnt: "/usr/some silly directory name/wow" (with the quotes) doesn't work? | 18:07 |
| Georgij | Can someone help me fix my Oblivion please it works but it freezes everytime i wanna change the age or the race of the character at the begining of the game please help me! | 18:08 |
| anirudh0 | Lynet: you were right..mp3val only checks..no fixing :( | 18:08 |
| Luhta | absnt, Lynet, that will only work if the program that launches it deals with spaces well | 18:08 |
| agares | Can anyone tell me how can i be connected to the Internet when the wireless signal meter shows 0 signal for each router???? I have an integrated wifi card too...and that one does show the signal...the usb doesn't.... ANY IDEAS ??? please | 18:08 |

| agares | pdub install compiz-fusion | 18:09 |

| Georgij | Someone please help me with my Oblivion pleeease | 18:11 |
| thanius | Hey there, having some random freezing problems with Hardy | 18:11 |
| penk | I'm using linux-2.6.24-17-386 kernel, but the module doesnt include in i386 arch | 18:11 |
| shadowman | thanius: what problems?? | 18:11 |
| raytruz | Anyone else lose padlock_aes.ko with today's kernel update? I'm trying to figure out how to make cryptsetup use the new ones they have installed now. | 18:12 |
| thanius | shadowman: Well, I dunno, it seems random. Sometimes the screensaver's running and the system just hangs - can't reboot or kill X, although SysRq works | 18:12 |
| penk | so I recompile with dpkg-buildpackage, but it seems some version problem to insmod that module | 18:12 |
| absnt | Luhta: I made the dir /bin/wow/ and put the link in there and now it says permission denied, I changed the permissions and it still says it | 18:12 |
| Luhta | thanius, I'm guessing the mouse continues to move when it happens? | 18:12 |

| Georgij | ? | 18:14 |
| Luhta | thanius, well it's a known issue and actually a bug in the nvidia driver from how it was explained to me, and has been around for a while, my understanding is the only way to get it to go away is to either figure out which age old driver didn't have the bug or disable smp which will cut your performance | 18:15 |
| pdub | is there a way to make the bottom and top of the cube different colors?? | 18:15 |
| shadowman | Georgij: in gnome i dunno in kde there is a way | 18:15 |
| === yesudeep1 is now known as yesudeep | ||
| Georgij | oh | 18:15 |
| thanius | Luhta: Is there a way to get the latest driver used in Gutsy? | 18:15 |
| Georgij | I use gnome | 18:15 |
| Georgij | :S | 18:16 |
| thanius | Or are they the same? | 18:16 |
| Georgij | HOW CAN I FIX MY OBLIVION? | 18:16 |
| Arleas | I just started using Xubuntu on my EEE PC and i realised how cool it is. I have a question though: how do I give myself root priveledges using the GUI? I'm trying to install some themes and games manually to their existing directories without having to create new ones in my home folder. | 18:16 |
| arbel | dose any body here know how to use glade? | 18:16 |
| thanius | Georgij: Grab a 360 | 18:16 |
| mad_max02 | I downloaded kubuntu 8.04 iso. Is there a way to copy files to usb and make it bootable because I dont have any optics on computer I want to install it to ?? | 18:16 |
| Slart | Georgij: ask in #winehq.. and just a hint.. stop with the whining and caps.. noone will help you if you behave like that | 18:17 |
| Luhta | thanius, well as I understand it "Latest" is the problem, but I know that it's been around for a while so the impression it left me with was that the only real option was to disable smp (reducing performance) or use an unrestricted driver (even worse an option if you're a gamer or use compiz) | 18:17 |
| Luhta | absnt, I didn't forget about you | 18:17 |
| soundray | Arleas: start the file manager (thunar, I assume) with gksudo. Alternatively, use sudo cp on the command line | 18:17 |
| Georgij | Slart, none will help me anyways and dont you think I have checked winehq? | 18:17 |
| Arleas | mad_max02 - i did that on my EEE PC: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home follow the USB instructions there | 18:18 |
| rav | hello. I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and I don't know how to enable my Nvidia graphic card. I'm using a generic VESA driver now, with 640x480 resolution? can someone help me? | 18:18 |
| thanius | Luhta: I guess I'll try reverting the driver version by version then. :) | 18:18 |
| absnt | Luhta: ok i got it kinda working, it says "failed to open Z:\bin\WTF" because its launching from /bin/ thinking that its the wow dir, but it should be launching from the wine dir, I thought it would because its just a link right? | 18:18 |
| raytruz | Anyone know why padlock_aes.ko went away with today's kernel upgrade? | 18:18 |
| thanius | Luhta: Didn't have this problem a week ago | 18:18 |
| Slart | Georgij: I don't know what you've checked and what you haven't.. #winehq is the offical support channel for wine | 18:18 |

| Arleas | thanks! | 18:19 |
| Arleas | lets try it... | 18:19 |
| Luhta | thanius, it got better and better for me to the point where I didn't really have it for weeks at a time | 18:19 |
| Luhta | absnt, are you using the default wine prefix? | 18:19 |
| soundray | Arleas: you can also do Alt-F2 for single commands (I think -- not so familiar with xfce) | 18:19 |
| Luhta | absnt, usually in $HOME/.wine | 18:19 |
| Tigrim | how fix my Wireless DNS in resolv.conf ?! | 18:19 |

| Luhta | absnt, if you arn't sure then you are ^^ | 18:19 |

| CapaH | I am utterly confused concerning port forwarding using SSH -L and SSH -R. Lets suppose I have a machine 192.168.1.1 listening on port 80 -- I have another machine 192.168.1.2 ---- how can I cause it so that if I type: http://192.168.1.2 - it is somehow redirected to 192.168.1.1:80 ? | 18:20 |
| Frogzoo_ | Phantal-: I use iftop | 18:20 |
| soundray | icqnumber: try fixing it permanently by making the correct setting with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 18:20 |
| Luhta | absnt, ahh ok so it was coppied from a windows partition as opposed to installing correct? | 18:20 |
| Luhta | -p | 18:20 |
| Phantal- | CapaH, lemme try to explain, it's not too difficult to use, just a little awkward to grasp | 18:20 |

| penk | anyone know how to recompile a kernel module that can be used in the current kernel? | 18:20 |
| ikt | Capah, I would change it so that they are both listening on different ports | 18:20 |
| icqnumber | soundray: i did that but it resets it to "us" | 18:20 |
| absnt | Luhta: no, i installed it through wine to that dir and it works just fine, but not for this i guess haha | 18:20 |
| penk | every time I recompile, the .ko file is fail to insmod | 18:20 |
| rav | How do I enable my Nvidia graphics card? | 18:21 |

| soundray | icqnumber: did you call it with sudo? | 18:21 |
| Luhta | absnt, ok no worries I'm just trying to get an understanding of your setup | 18:21 |
| raytruz_ | Anyone know why padlock_aes.ko went away with today's kernel upgrade? | 18:21 |
| Frogzoo_ | penk: you need the kernel headers at a minimum, and gcc has to match | 18:21 |
| Luhta | absnt, see if this starts wow | 18:21 |
| Arleas | soundray - that totally worked! thanks mate | 18:21 |
| anirudh0 | CapaH: ssh -L P1:M1:P2 U1@M2 | 18:21 |

| hackofchris | Can anyone help me? I believe my graphic driver is outdated!!! How do i install new one? I have already downloaded it | 18:21 |
| anirudh0 | CapaH: makes P1 on your machine a listening port | 18:21 |
| Penguin1 | It's worked before | 18:21 |
| penk | Frogzoo_: yeah, I install the latest build-essential and header, but without luck | 18:21 |

| Luhta | absnt, WINEPREFIX=/home/absnt/.wine wine "/home/absnt/Games/WoW/World of Warcraft/Launcher.exe" | 18:22 |
| penk | Frogzoo_: I think it's the version problem, and edit Makefile to change kernel version manaually | 18:22 |
| ikt | hackofchris: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 18:22 |
| anirudh0 | CapaH: which directs traffic to port P2 of M1, via your ssh connection as U1 on M2 | 18:22 |
| Tigrim | WINE don't run WOW | 18:22 |
| absnt | Luhta: Yeah that launches it | 18:22 |

| hackofchris | jkt, my graphic card is intel 945.. i downloaded linux driver, but dont know how to install | 18:22 |
| bullgard1 | soundray: Yesterday you asked me to delete ~/.gnome, .gnome2 and gconf. This did not help me bring back German identifiers in GNOME programs. | 18:22 |
| Luhta | Tigrim, yes it does | 18:22 |
| SuperMENG | how to install ubuntu server on fakeraid? | 18:22 |

| Tigrim | here in Brazil, all don't know | 18:23 |
| penk | Frogzoo_: there's some module I need doesnt contained in lum | 18:23 |
| rav | I have a driver called nvidia_new on the Driver manager, but I don't know how to enable it. Any ideas? | 18:23 |
| Slart | SuperMENG: take a deep breath and think about it first.. fakeraid doesn't give you much extra speed.. and if your motherboard dies you'll have to find a new one with the exact same chip.. go for software raid instead | 18:23 |
| ikt | hackofchris: not sure about install intel drivers, sorry :( | 18:23 |
| daysleepr | hello, i can't get ubuntu to boot into a text login only (no GUI) | 18:23 |

| Slart | SuperMENG: I don't know if the alternate install handles software raid.. but it might | 18:24 |

| genii | SuperMENG: If you have not installed any packages yet, you may first need: sudo apt-get update | 18:26 |
| soundray | daysleepr: can you use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a console while at the graphical login? | 18:26 |
| robg_ | Arleas: technically Ubuntu is free open source software. Only the restricted drivers are commercial products. Maintenance and support is something else. | 18:27 |

| revilodraw | hi, i just upgraded to gutsy and when i open a window (ie; places > home folder), it opens for a flah and then disappears. also the graphics are hideous, and im sure it has something to do with my ati x1400 graphics card. any fixes? | 18:29 |
| Luhta | absnt, you're welcome one more thing | 18:29 |
| bullgard1 | soundray: I consider that a last resort because I would need several adjustments anew which took me several days in the past, for example to re-establish the framebuffer console. | 18:29 |
| Arleas | robg_: just come right out and say Linux is economically superior! :) | 18:29 |
| daysleepr | the ubuntu way? is that something new? i'm still on 7.10 | 18:29 |

| robg_ | Arleas: probably so in many situations | 18:29 |
| olli | daysleepr, from a console you can do a /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 18:30 |
| daysleepr | the weird thing is, i run nvidia-xconfig and it writes a new .conf file but gdm doesn't seem to listen... | 18:30 |

| Luhta | Jack_Sparrow, I aware of how to install a live-cd to it, that's not my question, I need to split the partition as I'm trying to add a casper-rw partition, however I don't have a working cdrom to boot the live cd from to do the operation so I need to install to the flash drive, then boot into ubuntu live from the flash stick, then resize the stick I booted off of | 18:36 |

| Tigrim | Fructose: complete, start/restart firefox and test | 18:37 |
| Pici | Arleas: ScummVM is in the repositories. | 18:37 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, I think you're missing some of the output | 18:37 |
| Fructose | Tigrim: Still crashes | 18:37 |
| hackofchris | ok, let me paste once more | 18:37 |
| Tigrim | Fructose: ? | 18:37 |

| shadowman | tonewhy: it should be checked and enabled. if that doesn't work, i dunno, not that experienced:( | 18:37 |
| Arleas | Luhta: instructions for booting from a USB are in here: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home i think you need a working CD drive somewhere though.... | 18:37 |
| Fructose | Tigrim: It still crashes. What else do you want me to say? :-) | 18:38 |

| Luhta | Arleas, that's not my question | 18:38 |
| Luhta | Question: Can I resize a partition on a flash stick that I have booted off of with qparted/ | 18:38 |
| Tigrim | Fructose: put the correct path ? | 18:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Luhta I think you are going to have a problem trying that.... you would be better off taking that usb to a system with a working cdrom | 18:38 |
| Arleas | I have ScummVM, but I'm trying to install a game that isn't listed in the repos but is on the website | 18:38 |
| Luhta | Jack_Sparrow, that's not an option sadly | 18:39 |
| Fructose | Tigrim: It was happy with the path | 18:39 |
| hackofchris | Luhta, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15127/ | 18:39 |
| soundray | Arleas: what game? | 18:39 |
| tonewhy | shadowman: ok. i also have another problem when i plug in my wireles card dwl-g630, it doesn't use it even tho its enabled | 18:39 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, what's the problem then? it appears that your driver is working correctly | 18:39 |
| Arleas | soundray: lure of the temptress | 18:39 |
| bullgard1 | hackofchris: Not much as I do not use glxinfo. I guess that lspci is more meaningful (at least to me). | 18:39 |
| shadowman | dwl-g630, what is the manufacturer? | 18:39 |
| Tigrim | Fructose: next; Proceed with the installation?” (y/n/q) > Y | 18:39 |

| Fructose | Tigrim: Yes, I already did that. And restarted Firefox. | 18:40 |
| Tigrim | Fructose: ok now ?! | 18:40 |

| hackofchris | bullgard1, here is my lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/15128/ | 18:41 |
| Fructose | Tigrim: When I said it earlier, I had already done this stuff. It still crashes. | 18:41 |
| Arleas | soundray - i have all the files, i've copied them to the right place, but scummvm won't recognise them under linux, but will under mac os x | 18:41 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: is it working? | 18:41 |
| tonewhy | shadow: its set to roaming. but its not pickin up any signal? | 18:41 |

| soundray | icqnumber: solved? | 18:41 |
| PrimoTurbo | is there a way | 18:41 |
| PrimoTurbo | it keeps restarting after a killall | 18:42 |
| Andycas | My videos in vlc are pixellated when in fullscreen (OSD also). Whats wrong? Same thing in mplayer | 18:42 |
| shadowman | set it not on roaming. | 18:42 |
| Tigrim | Fructose: i don't know this crashes | 18:42 |

| Tigrim | http://coringao.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/instalando-flash-player-10-no-ubuntu-hardy-804/ | 18:42 |
| Tigrim | see it | 18:42 |
| miklos | supermeng u type it to the terminal | 18:42 |
| Arleas | soundray: but also, when i used the repo to install BASS, it added it to my games menu bar etc, and it isn't doing it when i manually copy the files | 18:42 |
| SuperMENG | I press Alt+F2 | 18:42 |
| SuperMENG | it's going into busybox... | 18:42 |
| genii | miklos: text only install does not have any obvious terminal to use :) | 18:42 |
| miklos | open a terminal | 18:42 |
| Tigrim | Fructose: and it http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html | 18:43 |
| miklos | ok | 18:43 |
| SuperMENG | but type "sudo" not found | 18:43 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: it should work on roaming. mine does, but i have intell | 18:43 |
| soundray | Arleas: no, that's why you use the package manager whenever possible | 18:43 |
| tonewhy | shadowman: thers other things in the bottom to fill in that i don't really know. i just know the the password and the ssid | 18:43 |
| tripps | for no apparent reason I now get no sound through my system, running gutsy. never had sound problems before. how do i diagnose? | 18:43 |
| soundray | Arleas: actually, bypassing the package manager is advanced stuff. Haven't you only just started with Ubuntu? | 18:43 |
| Arleas | soundray: but things are missing from the package manager that are available on the web! | 18:43 |
| hackofchris | Luhta, any suggestions? | 18:43 |
| shadowman | what other things? | 18:43 |
| bullgard4 | hackofchris: Here is an example how much your problem is hardware-related: http://community.netscape.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ws-Laptop&tid=87322&redirCnt=1 | 18:43 |
| tonewhy | shadow: i think it should work on roamin also, maybe it didn't install right? | 18:44 |
| genii | SuperMENG: In busybox you should not need sudo. | 18:44 |
| Arleas | soundray: yeah, i have.... :( but i wanted to play LOTT! | 18:44 |
| CapaH | Question, I want to change the permissions of all files/directories recursively in such a way they become GROUP +rw --- but I do not want to change the CHMOD except for that, how can I do so? (ex, if it was already set to a certain chmod, I dont want to affect that -- just want to make it group +rw if it is not already) | 18:44 |
| soundray | Arleas: there is a limited number of volunteers packaging available software. Feel free to step forward | 18:44 |
| shadowman | if they are about a network, you should contat you ISP | 18:44 |
| icqnumber | soundray: looks like solved, thank you, but... to write this symbol i need to press "alt gr" and two times "plus" button, a little bit strange... | 18:44 |
| SuperMENG | apt-get is not found too.. | 18:44 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, I'm still not sure what the question is, your drivers appear to be running fine, what isn't working? | 18:44 |
| tonewhy | shadow: ya they are | 18:44 |
| Arleas | soundray: would if i could! | 18:44 |
| soundray | icqnumber: what symbol? | 18:44 |
| icqnumber | soundray: this symbol "~" | 18:44 |
| shadowman | what settings? | 18:44 |
| jah | is there any fix for the pidgin-crashing randomly issue? | 18:45 |
| shadowman | gateway etc or something else? | 18:45 |
| hackofchris | Luhta, when i run the game, i get 13 fps, the graphics are very jumpy | 18:45 |
| Andycas | My videos in vlc are pixellated when in fullscreen (OSD also). Whats wrong? Same thing in mplayer | 18:45 |
| kontagious | hey im using xchat for my irc client but i would like a client that can minimize out of the taskbar | 18:45 |
| soundray | icqnumber: you've probably enabled dead keys. Try hitting the ~ key twice. | 18:45 |
| tonewhy | ya | 18:45 |
| Fructose | Tigrim: I do get "Illegal number" errors during the installation, though | 18:45 |
| shadowman | is there a button to set it to default:) | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Arleas It says it works under dosbox ...? | 18:45 |
| tonewhy | there isn't | 18:45 |
| shadowman | set it to default if you can, if not, contact your ISP for settings. | 18:45 |
| tonewhy | ok | 18:45 |
| soundray | icqnumber: if you'd rather change that behaviour, use the 'nodeadkeys' option | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !who | tonewhy | 18:45 |
| ubottu | tonewhy: 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 :) | 18:45 |
| icqnumber | soundray: where | 18:45 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, do you use compositing such as kde4, compiz, compiz-fusion, or beryl also is this game native linux or running under wine? | 18:46 |
| anirudh0 | Andycas: maybe video res is low? | 18:46 |
| soundray | icqnumber: in the reconfigure wizard. It says where somewhere on the keyboard-related help screens | 18:46 |
| Pici | Arleas: Just manually point scummvm at the directory you have LOTT in... | 18:46 |
| Arleas | pici: i did that, but not joy - it worked on mac os x... | 18:46 |
| Andycas | anirudh0: No, it is a HD video | 18:46 |
| Andycas | anirudh0: and the osd is also pixellated | 18:47 |
| icqnumber | soundray: ok i will try it again... | 18:47 |
| Pici | Arleas: Dunno what to tell you then. I've had no problems loading scumm games on 3 OSes now. | 18:47 |
| bdog | do I need a seperate plugin to play mp3s on audacious? | 18:47 |
| hackofchris | luhta, the game is windows native, so it's running under wine, and i think compiz is on, it's what ever gets installed by default with ubuntu | 18:47 |
| bullgard1 | hackofchris: (line 3 is important.) I have a predecessor of yours, and Ubuntu always automatically loaded the proper VGA driver. | 18:47 |
| Ward1983 | how can i copy the stuff from a dvd that some dvd recorder didnt close (it appears empty) | 18:47 |
| anirudh0 | Andycas: strange...try using a different video driver in mplayer..look at mplayer -vo help | 18:47 |
| Arleas | pici: download LOTT and see if it works, I think it's only 3mb | 18:47 |
| tonewhy | !shadowman thanx | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Factoid shadowman thanx not found | 18:47 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, what is the name of the game | 18:47 |
| hackofchris | bullgard1, so what does that mean? | 18:47 |
| Pici | Arleas: Can't do that here sadly. | 18:47 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: it should work in roaming mone, if it doesn't set it to automatic | 18:47 |
| hackofchris | Luhta, it's WOW | 18:47 |
| Arleas | pici: completely free from: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php | 18:48 |

| icqnumber | soundray: Option"XkbVariant""nodeadkeys" does not help | 18:49 |
| bullgard1 | soundray: That may include some redundant information. | 18:50 |
| kontagious | Luhta: that is the windows command :S | 18:50 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, that sounds like it's onboard there may be a setting in your bios to increase the memory allocation to video memory at the expense of system memory | 18:50 |
| hackofchris | bullgard1, is that what you wanted? | 18:50 |
| soundray | bullgard1: so what? That's the point of the pastebin. | 18:50 |
| Luhta | kontagious, I realize that but as I said the question wasn't for me | 18:50 |
| kontagious | Luhta: lol ok | 18:50 |
| shane2peru | Kl4m: /mnt/distro is the mount point, it is an extra partition, with almost nothing on it. | 18:50 |
| Luhta | kontagious, I ment in ubunut ^^ | 18:50 |
| hackofchris | Luhta, how in the world do i do that? | 18:50 |
| shane2peru | Kl4m: that is why I don't understand how it could be busy? I don't have any docs open from that partition | 18:50 |
| Kl4m | shane2peru: do you have any nautilus or any shell open with current directory as /mnt/distro or a sub-dir ? | 18:51 |
| DIL | hackofchris: are you related to jack | 18:51 |
| hackofchris | jack? | 18:51 |
| TheCompWiz | anyone know what would cause most "gnome" apps to not display their contents? | 18:51 |
| bullgard1 | hackofchris: I am not familiar with the current situation of 945 drivers. But using this information, a knowledgeable person should be able to advice you the proper driver. | 18:51 |
| TheCompWiz | only happened after I ran updates this morning. | 18:51 |
| Luhta | hackofchris, it varies from system to system I'd recommend you take a look at your motherboard manual and see if it has the option, if it does, you may get a benifit from increasing memory allocated to video, beyond that I'm afraid I can't really be much help | 18:51 |
| Lynet | shane2peru: lsof /mnt/distro | 18:51 |
| shane2peru | Kl4m: no, nothing, that is what I checked too, odd, it is in the fstab, but that shouldn't keep it from umounting | 18:51 |

| shadowman | tonewhy: is it working? | 18:52 |
| Kl4m | shane2peru: lsof | grep /mnt/distro | 18:52 |
| soundray | CapaH: use chmod -r g+rw | 18:52 |
| soundray | hackofchris: that's your hardware. I'm asking about the driver you are currently using. | 18:53 |
| hackofchris | soundray, is that what you wanted? | 18:53 |
| hackofchris | o | 18:53 |
| shane2peru | Kl4m: ahhh, nevermind! I found it, I had run 'sudo -i' and was working in root, but before that, I was in that folder, so even though I left that folder, my user was still there | 18:53 |
| TheCompWiz | it seems to only happen with gnome-specific applications. | 18:53 |
| tonewhy | !shadowman hmm its still not, and the graphics is also not working either. its really pixilly and blury | 18:53 |
| ubottu | tonewhy: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:53 |

| Kl4m | tonewhy: don't put a ! before a nick, type the first letters and complete with <tab> | 18:54 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: what resolution? | 18:54 |
| shane2peru | Kl4m: that lsof is awesome! new one for the book for me, thanks | 18:54 |
| Arleas | jack_sparrow: it runs under DOSBOX no problems, thanks for the help! | 18:54 |
| anirudh0 | Kl4m: why does lsof /mnt/distro not work? | 18:54 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: if it is a laptop 15:4 it should be 120:800, if it is 1024x768 the drivers are not working:( | 18:55 |
| Kl4m | shane2peru: there's something "better" than lsof but I don't remember | 18:55 |
| soundray | hackofchris: please copy your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the URL | 18:55 |
| Luhta | anirudh0, it should providing the directory exists, however it won't display anything if nothing is open | 18:55 |
| shadowman | *1280x800 | 18:55 |
| soundray | Kl4m: fuser? | 18:55 |
| Kl4m | anirudh0: because I didn't know any better :) | 18:55 |
| shane2peru | anirudh0: you probably don' t have anything mounted there | 18:55 |
| hvralpha | how do i strart kde from the command line | 18:55 |
| anirudh0 | Luhta: nope..try lsof ~/ | 18:55 |
| tonewhy | shadowman, its a 120:800, but its set on auto res. so i'll try the 120:80 manully | 18:55 |
| anirudh0 | Luhta: does'nt seem to show everything | 18:56 |
| shane2peru | anirudh0: ahh, you were helping me with my menu.lst before, remember, I have to tell you what happened | 18:56 |
| Luhta | anirudh0, it will only show files in use | 18:56 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: try it, but it should work out of the box for nvidia, that is strange... | 18:56 |
| anirudh0 | shane2peru: yes | 18:56 |
| Luhta | anirudh0, lsof = list open files | 18:56 |
| shane2peru | anirudh0: remember I edied my menu.lst and it didn' t change? | 18:56 |

| shane2peru | anirudh0: I have two hdd, and as it turns out I was booting off sdb, not sda! I had a real mess | 18:57 |
| tonewhy | shadowman, ya i didn't have any problems when i had 6.10 | 18:57 |
| soundray | kushal1: any reason why you're not taking it from the repositories? | 18:57 |
| anirudh0 | shane2peru: :) | 18:57 |
| shane2peru | anirudh0: that is why when I edited my menu.lst on sda1 nothing showed up | 18:57 |
| shadowman | tonewhy: start the screensaver if it is lagging, it is the dirvers... | 18:57 |
| kushal1 | i tried sudo apt-get install devede which did not work | 18:57 |
| shadowman | be r8 back got 2 goto loo:) | 18:57 |
| shane2peru | anirudh0: after the kernel update, it left me with a real mess, I re-installed | 18:57 |

| m1dn1ght | I changed synaptic from UK repository to main one - didn't help | 19:03 |
| shadowman | MiLK: restart computer | 19:03 |
| SliMM | i have made a minor modification to the Romanian keyboard layout that is quite important in respect to ortographic norms | 19:04 |
| m1dn1ght | not so much down - downloading at 0.5k a second, instead of my usual 1.5meg :) | 19:04 |
| shadowman | or you did already | 19:04 |
| soundray | hackofchris: did you paste your entire log? | 19:04 |
| anirudh0 | rawmeat: you mean cpu frequency scaling..cpufreq-selector | 19:04 |
| Slart | m1dn1ght: swedish servers seems to be up | 19:04 |
| MiLK | shadowman - i tried several times :-/ | 19:04 |
| SliMM | is there a way I can make this modification available for the future updates (or versions of ubuntu) | 19:04 |
| soundray | hackofchris: I wonder if the repeated "fbc disabled on plane a" messages have something to do with it | 19:04 |
| SliMM | ? | 19:04 |

| bieb | I have a screen resolution question. I have an ubuntu 7.10 server that was built with a 17" flat panel monitor and all the graphics worked fine. when I moved it to the server room and KVM which has an older 15" crt monitor I would get a resolution error and not be able to see the server, so I connected the FP to it and in the ubuntu gui I reduced the resolution to 800x600, that seems to work except during boot. is it possible that the splash | 19:05 |

| JasonWoof | how do I find out what files have been installed by a given package? | 19:05 |
| JasonWoof | on the command line | 19:05 |
| JasonWoof | I know it's possible because synaptic does it | 19:05 |
| anirudh0 | rawmeat: its a part of gnome-applets | 19:05 |
| hackofchris | soundray: i did paste the entire log | 19:05 |
| soundray | hackofchris: I don't know, but there's a lot of those in your log file | 19:06 |
| m1dn1ght | Bizarre...rest of the internet seems fine. No idea what could possibly cause everything except Ubuntu repositories to be fine.... | 19:06 |
| Slart | SliMM: keyboard layout important for ortographic norms??? just curious.. what does "ortographic norms" mean? | 19:06 |
| rawmeat | hm i better reinstall them | 19:06 |
| MiLK | anyone else got any ideas? | 19:06 |
| the_eraser | How do i check what driver is in use? | 19:06 |
| shadowman | change your repo | 19:06 |
| shadowman | the_eraser: if you are using restricted drivers, there is a shortcut in the menu | 19:07 |
| SliMM | Slart: ortographic doesn't also mean the way you write letters? | 19:07 |
| Slart | SliMM: ahh.. nevermind..looked it up.. thought you were talking about 3d projections and such.. | 19:07 |
| ICQnumber_ | soundray: thank you, it started to work, after i have restarted | 19:07 |
| the_eraser | shadowman: yes its restricted but the shortcut menu dont tell me the packages name | 19:07 |
| m1dn1ght | I must have chosen the only 2 non working repos to check :) Just switched to Oxford Uni mirror and working fine now - doh! | 19:07 |

| hvralpha | My computer stops at : running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) and stops there after todays upgrade. Any ideas on how to fix | 19:08 |
| SliMM | Slart: not orthogonal or whatever >_< | 19:08 |
| MiLK | is there any way i can just like reset my unbuntu installation without actually reinstalling it? | 19:08 |
| hackofchris | anyone know what "fbc disabled on plane a" means? | 19:08 |

| Slart | SliMM: =) | 19:08 |
| SliMM | Slart: so, any ideas? | 19:08 |
| Slart | SliMM: not unless you know which package the file is from.. | 19:08 |
| kom0dor | Is there a reason dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't allow me to change settings for my video card? | 19:08 |
| soundray | ICQnumber_: you can restart X after changing the configuration by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (saves you the reboot) | 19:08 |
| shadowman | the packages name... try to see in synaptic | 19:08 |
| the_eraser | mm | 19:08 |
| SliMM | Slart: it's just the "ro" keyboard layout file | 19:09 |
| Slart | SliMM: you could try using apt-file to see what package it's from.. then mail the developer | 19:09 |
| shadowman | gotta go for the next 10 minutes. c u all soon... | 19:09 |
| the_eraser | ok | 19:09 |
| SliMM | how can I find out what package it's from? | 19:09 |
| SliMM | ok :) | 19:09 |
| Slart | SliMM: there is a utility called apt-file that searches packages for filenames | 19:09 |
| Slart | !info apt-file | 19:09 |
| ubottu | apt-file (source: apt-file): APT package searching utility -- command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.0 (hardy), package size 16 kB, installed size 120 kB | 19:09 |

| soundray | hackofchris: there's another thing in there that worries me: (WW) intel(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum | 19:09 |
| icqnumber | soundray: yep, i know, i had no clue howto set up my keyboard by hand, because it was working out of the box with opensuse | 19:10 |
| hackofchris | soundray: what does that mean? | 19:10 |
| SliMM | is there a way to boot a CD from grub command line? | 19:10 |
| kleedrac_work | Is there any plans to patch ubuntu to handle kvms more gracefully? | 19:10 |
| soundray | hackofchris: you might try to reboot your machine and see if the message appears in the log again. If it does, it's possibly a fault with the graphics hardware. | 19:11 |
| Slart | SliMM: shutdown -r now? only way of booting from a cd that I know of.. unless you're talking about a vm | 19:11 |
| anirudh0 | SliMM: yes it can...please google for the details | 19:11 |
| soundray | icqnumber: well, yeah, suse with their German tradition should be expected to do that particularly well | 19:11 |
| hackofchris | soundray: is there a solution if there is a fault with the graphics hardware | 19:11 |
| === sars-aeol is now known as MAHerron | ||
| macd | kleedrac_work, you can read on KVM and ubuntus plans for it and more@ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Intrepid | 19:12 |
| Andycas | Why cant I use compiz with XV video output? When compiz is enabled i get just black screen | 19:12 |
| SliMM | Slart: my BIOS is... broken, quite difficult to boot from a CD (actually I find it impossible) | 19:12 |
| soundray | hackofchris: have it repaired or exchanged. Preferably on warranty. You'd have to solidify the evidence, though. | 19:12 |
| SliMM | anirudh0: will it work for the standard ubuntu live & installation CD? | 19:12 |
| anirudh0 | SliMM: yes | 19:12 |
| hackofchris | soundray: ok thanks, gonna try a reboot | 19:12 |
| MiLK | Can anyone help me with this error: "The display sever has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting 2 minutes before trying again on display :0." ? | 19:12 |
| robg_ | SliMM: keep you finger on the boot options key (F8) | 19:12 |
| kleedrac_work | Thanks macd but it seems to only be refferring to kvm as the virtualization software and not the hardware switch :P | 19:13 |
| === ICQnumber_ is now known as icqnumber | ||
| soundray | ICQnumber_: having said that, if you configure your keyboard correctly during the installation, you shouldn't encounter this problem. | 19:13 |
| Slart | SliMM: hmm... I don't think there's a lot you can do from ubuntu to change that.. | 19:13 |
| anirudh0 | MiLK: it means Xorg encounters errors just after login that force it to restart | 19:13 |
| macd | kleedrac_work, Im not sure how an operating system could handle a external hardware device thats transparent to it any more gracefully | 19:13 |
| anirudh0 | MiLK: read /var/log/Xorg.0.log for details | 19:13 |
| SliMM | anirudh0: thank God, I'll finally be able to fix my gutsy-hardy Ubuntu | 19:13 |
| macd | kleedrac_work, is it possible you have an older analog type KVM with no keep alive? | 19:14 |
| kleedrac_work | macd: It's more to do with the fact that it listens to the junk sent down the line to the point I have to remodprobe my mouse when switching back to the ubuntu box | 19:14 |
| anirudh0 | SliMM: check the md5sum of your iso first though | 19:14 |
| thomas_ | salu | 19:14 |
| kleedrac_work | macd: I've built a simple shell script to do it and bound it to a keystroke so I'm as close to convenient as it's gonna get on my end ... I'm kinda hoping they start working on why xorg listens to that junk in the first place | 19:14 |

| k33qk | Atour firm,Users are allowed internet access, but to prevent taking source code out of the company, all mails sites, chat sites, File sharing sites and P2P sites are blocked through squid | 20:18 |

| mar77i | hi. i've made a strange discovery. I need a hardy dvd, because where I'm intending to work there's no net. There's just one problem, because the md5 sums don't fit what so ever and the dvd i've burned already tests 11 files as wrong... the files I'm talking about are on cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current and .../080423 any proposals? | 20:18 |
| bietz | fde: ok | 20:18 |
| fde | bietz: They've been working on it now for something like 3 years. | 20:18 |
| k33qk | This is done through ACLs in squid and this thing is working very fine. Server has no proxy set, so all sites are accessible in the server. Machines over the LAN are connected to this squid server, and hence, all the above said sites and job search sites are disabled. | 20:18 |
| kurugah | robg_: i did and i ifconfiged it to an ip no results | 20:18 |
| bietz | fde: oh... | 20:18 |
| k33qk | the problem with it is now | 20:19 |
| k33qk | Some users do need to access gmail or orkut for any genuine purpose, or the work allotted to him is over, so they can do whatever they want. In this case, the present solution is remove that IP address from the ACL and restart squid. This is not a good solution as a network administrator needs to sit with this all the time. Moreover, the user has still access to the source code and the risk still exists. (Or the files needed to be moved from the system befor | 20:19 |
| k33qk | e allowing these sites, which is not fair and practical). | 20:19 |
| bietz | anyway, thanks for your help! | 20:19 |
| bietz | bye | 20:19 |
| airstrike | orkut for a genuine purpose? | 20:19 |

| kurugah | robg_: im pretty noobish. what would u advice i do next? | 20:21 |
| k33qk | Slart::) | 20:22 |
| robg_ | kurugah: find a friend will some expertise. | 20:22 |
| k33qk | Slart :other than that | 20:22 |
| k33qk | Slart:atleast for ma long explanation | 20:22 |
| Slart | k33qk: you want a proxy that can be disabled whenever the user wants to? then why have a proxy at all? | 20:22 |
| harpreet | how do i enable telnet? | 20:23 |
| anigma | how does ubuntu work with nvidia ? | 20:23 |

| warren_ | hi | 20:23 |
| Starnestommy | anigma: check the driver manager | 20:23 |
| warren_ | I have a question | 20:23 |
| robg_ | kurugah: I have tried them all. | 20:23 |
| Slart | k33qk: or you want to be able to allow a user to bypass the restrictions when the network admin says it's alright? | 20:24 |
| warren_ | can you install ubuntu mobile on a moto q | 20:24 |
| k33qk | Slart:yes | 20:24 |
| harpreet | how do i enable telnet? | 20:24 |
| warren_ | how do you get in on or where to go | 20:25 |
| k33qk | Slart:But the network administrator needs to sit with this all the time | 20:25 |
| iRelinquish | harpeet, just use it in terminal | 20:25 |
| airstrike | harpreet: type 'telnet' on a terminal | 20:25 |
| airstrike | without the quotes, obviously | 20:25 |
| airstrike | type 'q' to quit | 20:25 |
| iRelinquish | type in man telnet harpreet that will give you a lesson how to use it | 20:25 |
| Slart | k33qk: I still think setting up some kind of internet-enabled public computer is the way to go | 20:25 |
| kitche | harpreet: what do you mean by telnet do you mean the daemon? | 20:25 |
| k33qk | Slart:even i thought In this case, to remove that IP address from the ACL and restart squid | 20:26 |
| harpreet | kitche, telnet for host to host remote connection | 20:26 |
| k33qk | Slart:but i need a better solution | 20:26 |
| Slart | k33qk: or find a proxy that doesn't have to be restarted to change settings | 20:26 |
| kitche | harpreet: telnet is the command you want but you still did not fully answer my question | 20:26 |
| harpreet | Kitche, I want to set up a telnet server | 20:27 |
| k33qk | Slart :can u explain it ? | 20:27 |
| pds | when I set up a cron job through kcron, does kcron need to always be open for it to work? | 20:27 |
| gnutron | harpreet: you would install telnetd and open server port TCP 23 | 20:27 |
| gnutron | gnutron: advice is telnet is old school, use sshd instead. | 20:27 |
| Slart | k33qk: I don't have any solutions for you.. I'm just bouncing ideas | 20:27 |
| kitche | harpreet: ok you need to edit the /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment the telnet line but anyways you should use ssh really unless you are setting up a game or something | 20:28 |
| k33qk | Slart:oh | 20:28 |
| gnutron | i'm talking to myself, disregard that. | 20:28 |

| Seeker` | xphisherx: I'm very impressed with mythbuntu | 20:29 |
| shadowman | hello xphisherx | 20:29 |
| k33qk | Slart :how about this?All users get only allowed sites. However, if they need access to mail sites, they should logout and login as guest. Guests can access all sites without any ACL restrictions. Guest account normally does not have access to home folder of other users or to /var/www, so that he can email the source code | 20:29 |
| xphisherx | i have an all in wonder 9600 ati.. which i know won't work.. but i am using it as my current video card.. i was planning on getting an ati tv wonder which seems to work on mythtv.. i wanted to know if there would be any conflict using both cards | 20:30 |

| SATA | amenado, thanx. One thing more ,,, after adding a package (probably in extras) does it mean to auto install the package during the installation of dist from that iso? | 21:20 |
| MAHerron | anyone know about setting up xorg.conf for mergedFB/ dual monitors with an ATI Radeon | 21:20 |

Up until last week when I wanted to unmount it i woudl right click it on my desktop and select "unmount volume" which would result in it dissapearing a second later so I knew I could unplug it. I'm now not getting an icon for it at all on my desktop, and when i go into my file browser and right click i | 21:23 |

| jjlee | yedda2: ugh, now you're asking... you need whitespace around the [ and ] I think, for a start | 21:31 |
| DvDongeren | fde: Alright thanks, i was hoping i could go around my repo error -_- | 21:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scorch_ Not sure as I am not on a Hardy box atm... and cant do it from memory I would assume envyng will pull what ever other parts it needs | 21:31 |
| troxor | pds: hard/annoying way: crontab -e | 21:31 |
| k31to | STSX: I am curious as to why this used to load without such an entry? | 21:31 |
| fde | harpreet: The latter depends something that breaks sun-java6-plugin, so it's important if you want games.yahoo.com to work | 21:31 |
| harpreet | fde; kitche, i have it installed but still dont work | 21:31 |
| sensae | Erm | 21:31 |
| sensae | in my File Management window, I can't set Amarok as default music player. What gives? | 21:31 |
| pds | troxor: is there a easy non annoying way? I tried using kcron, but it didn't work. | 21:32 |
| kitche | harpreet: you will have to restart your web browser after installing it | 21:32 |
| STSX | k31to: Do you have it blacklisted? Check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist first. | 21:32 |
| Brutus | i found out that segmentation is that it can't access a part of my memmory. the memmory is fine though. i ran a mem-test a week ago | 21:32 |
| harpreet | kitche, i did that too | 21:32 |
| jjlee | yedda2: why the double quotes and backticks around the umount command? | 21:32 |

| yedda2 | jjlee: I guess only double quotes would suffice | 21:33 |
| troxor | pds: and of course, make sure the perms are right | 21:33 |
| stroyan | Soopa: If you mean that you are using an ftp client and want to create a file system link on the remote server, then you can't do that. Ftp does not have protocol for creating links | 21:33 |
| k31to | STSX: it was never on the blacklist the br43 and ssb were (both broadcom!) don't know why the acx card worked before hand! | 21:33 |
| Housefly7k | Or do I just do it from windows and it gets recognised in ubuntu the new name | 21:33 |
| fde | Housefly7k: That would work, probably... yes | 21:33 |
| sensae | Jack_Sparrow: Well I set that to amarok but in file management it still doesn't give me the option | 21:33 |
| fde | Housefly7k: NTFS support on linux is still pretty weak. | 21:33 |
| Georgij | i dont get it how can i install w32codec??????????????????? | 21:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Housefly7k Or you can just create a new mount point with a descriptive name.. | 21:33 |

| jjlee | play with that | 21:33 |
| pds | troxor: i added a line to /etc/crontab | 21:34 |
| pds | troxor: that seems to have done the trick | 21:34 |
| STSX | k31to: I don't know why its not loading then. Make sure your ndiswrapper module is uninstalled so it won't conflict with it at least. | 21:34 |
| pds | troxor: thanks for the help | 21:34 |
| jjlee | yedda2: /bin/false is also handy for this :-) | 21:34 |
| Georgij | why do i have to read a 10000 line page if i wanna watch a simple movie= | 21:34 |
| Housefly7k | Jack_Sparrow: create a new mount point for an exisiting volume? | 21:34 |
| yedda2 | jjlee: thanks | 21:34 |
| fde | Georgij: What kinda movie? | 21:34 |
| Georgij | why do i have to waste 3 hours to watch a 1 hour movie? | 21:34 |
| k31to | STSX: it was installed out of the box. i have removed ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 though and the gtk frontend | 21:35 |
| troxor | pds: np | 21:35 |
| Georgij | can u just tell me how to get w32codec | 21:35 |
| jrib | Georgij: because you want to watch a movie with codecs that microsoft does not like to share? | 21:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Housefly7k Yes, and change your fstab to reflect the change | 21:35 |
| k31to | STSX: gonna restart and see if that helps. thanks anyhow | 21:35 |
| sensae | gnutron: I did do that. Now it's set to Amarok. However, in file management I still only get the option of banshee, rhythmbox and do nothing. When I plug in my iPod it still launches rhythmbox | 21:35 |
| Georgij | cant i just apt-get install something | 21:35 |
| fde | !medibuntu | Georgij | 21:35 |
| ubottu | Georgij: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 21:35 |

| fde | Georgij: Go there, set up the repo, the page tells you how to get the codecs too | 21:36 |
| STSX | k31to: How do you know it's not being loaded? Are you using "lsmod" or something else? Just curious. | 21:36 |
| harpreet | fde, it removed icedtea java 7 plugin i had and also removed restricted ones and installed new 6 but still doesnt work | 21:36 |

| Soopa | is that possible? | 21:36 |
| my_haz | Soopa: yes | 21:36 |
| jrib | Georgij: it's really not, use the medibuntu repo. You just add the repo and install the w32codec package. You could have done it by now :) | 21:36 |
| gnutron | sensae: you may need to restart X, or atleast the filemanager, try right-clicking the file and choose app that way. | 21:36 |

| my_haz | Soopa: proftp or pureftp? | 21:39 |
| Georgij | k31to it has its good points | 21:40 |
| Georgij | windows had too many bad points | 21:40 |
| fde | sensae: Go to Places > Home ... Edit > Preferences ... "Media" tab... "Music Player" ... change that | 21:40 |
| Georgij | so i went to ubuntu | 21:40 |
| stu | guys, I downloaded the source for ubuntu-modules and edited appleir.c to update the device ID for my iMac remote control. I installed the deb package I built and the remote worked... now after a reboot it's stopped working - re-installing the deb package now does not fix the remote - any ideas??? | 21:40 |
| Georgij | what repo? | 21:40 |
| sensae | fde: Amarok is conveniently missing from the list | 21:40 |
| jrib | !who | Georgij | 21:40 |
| ubottu | 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 :) | 21:40 |
| hanth1 | Georgij: When you try to download a deb package the packagemanager only knows where to find it because it has a list of repositories (collections of packages). If you want to download from a repository that Ubuntu is not allowed to include by default it makes sense that you have to add a new repository manually. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it and it will be very useful to you later on, which is why people here want you to learn it : | 21:41 |
| Georgij | there isnt a repo for hardy | 21:41 |
| fde | sensae: "ask what to do" ... then select amarok when it does so | 21:41 |
| Georgij | so i took 7.10 insted | 21:41 |
| harpreet | where do i paste it fde? i dont know | 21:41 |
| jrib | Georgij: there is. Use medibuntu | 21:41 |
| my_haz | Georgij: yes there is i just did it this morning | 21:41 |
| genii | stu: Likely you need to insert the module for it | 21:41 |
| thekip_ | Georgij -> administration -> software sources | 21:42 |
| stu | genii: the module is loaded | 21:42 |
| sensae | fde: It still gives me the same options | 21:42 |
| Georgij | I swear to god after i ve done this it wont still work | 21:42 |
| scorch_ | jack_sparrow: Did not work... Any other ideas? | 21:42 |
| thekip_ | Georgij -> 3rd party sources, add medibuntu repo there | 21:42 |
| genii | stu: Is it a USB device? | 21:42 |
| fde | harpreet: It should only be one line... so yes | 21:42 |
| Georgij | i did this it worked now i can watch my movie ? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 21:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | scorch_ nope | 21:42 |
| thekip_ | Georgij -> sudo apt-get update | 21:42 |
| harpreet | fde, it says no such file or directory | 21:42 |
| my_haz | Georgij: Georgij i added `deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy free non-free` and then i installed the w32 stuff | 21:43 |
| stu | genii: lsmod | grep apple gives me appleir 7040 0 | 21:43 |
| jrib | Georgij: depends on whether you enabled the repository first... | 21:43 |
| thekip_ | Georgij 0> sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 21:43 |
| stu | genii: yes its a USB device | 21:43 |
| scorch_ | Anyone have a low graphic mode problem after 7.10 to 8.04 upgrade? | 21:43 |
| stroyan | Soopa: Your proftpd may be using chroot which will prevent symbolic links from working. See http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Chroot.html for details on using "mount -o bind" instead. | 21:43 |
| Georgij | i have w32codec now | 21:43 |
| stu | genii: and I have reloaded usbhid as well | 21:43 |
| eventmaster | hello can somebody say me a program, for .ccf files | 21:43 |
| Georgij | Can i look my video now? | 21:43 |
| genii | stu: Unplug it, wait 10 seconds. Replug it. Then see if dmesg reports anything about it. | 21:43 |
| thekip_ | Georgij: how about trying? | 21:43 |
| alexi5 | Georgij:you could be watching that movie right now and enjoying your bow of popped corn | 21:43 |
| Georgij | WOHO! | 21:43 |
| Georgij | THANKS | 21:44 |
| thekip_ | lol | 21:44 |

| harpreet | fde, No such file or Directory | 21:45 |
| genii | stu: After you installed the deb did you do the depmod -a to update the module list? | 21:45 |
| alexi5 | my_haz:what about the damage over time it does before the final hart damage tick | 21:46 |
| jedimind | thekip_: thanks i'll take a look | 21:46 |
| thekip_ | I don't know if it's exactly the same however but you could give it a try | 21:46 |

| Slart | bah.. | 21:47 |
| stu | genii: yes I did that by editing appleir.c before I built the .deb | 21:47 |
| === hanth1 is now known as heh | ||
| stu | thekip_: dpkg --reconfigure libapache2-mod-php5 | 21:47 |
| === heh is now known as fredh | ||
| thekip_ | stu doesn't work | 21:47 |
| fde | harpreet: Like I said, type it correctly... there is .so on the end. | 21:48 |
| stu | thekip_: try apt-get remote it and then dpkg --purge to purge the config and then reinstall it | 21:48 |
| thekip_ | what i've tried: apt-get remove, apt-get purge, dpkg-reconfigure | 21:48 |
| stu | thekip_: i.e dpkg --purge libapache2-mod-php5 | 21:48 |
| jedimind | no help :\ | 21:48 |

| my_haz | thekip_: i missed your initial problem, what did you do to mess up php? | 21:48 |
| thekip_ | did that, I supposed that SHOULD have done the trick but it didn't | 21:48 |
| my_haz | thekip_: and does it work without the apache? | 21:49 |
| stu | genii: I had to edit applir.c to change the device id from 8240 to 8242... this is how I got it to work originally.... but then like I said, its just stopped working again now | 21:49 |
| Starnestommy | jedimind: I think there was a problem with the recent kernel update and virtualbox | 21:49 |
| thekip_ | I tried to get mod-mono running (which removed all my php settings) | 21:49 |
| alienbrain | my mplayer picture freezes, all the controls of mplayer are working, even forward/backward, and I can see the picture change, but it's freezed. I press pause/play, nothing moves. It's like I'm browsing the frames manually. Any hints? | 21:49 |
| fde | harpreet: please ls -l /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so now | 21:49 |
| stu | alienbrain: right click preferences - video - choose X11 and then restart mplayer | 21:49 |
| my_haz | thekip_: i have no idea, never even heard of that mod | 21:49 |
| thekip_ | mod-mono was running perfectly but now I can't get php to run again | 21:49 |
| siriusblack | hey | 21:49 |
| lw0x15 | Slart, hmm.. ok i see i wanna change pidgin cuz it keeps on closing down without no reason randomly | 21:49 |
| thekip_ | it's the Apache ASP mod | 21:49 |

| jedimind | Starnestommy: got a url to a workaround by chance ? im sure its got something to do with the latest updates | 21:50 |

| my_haz | thekip_: what error is php giving? | 21:50 |
| Slart | lw0x15: might be the sound.. try disabling sound and see if it works better | 21:50 |
| alienbrain | (I use the command line version) | 21:50 |

| Slart | lw0x15: or try setting the sound to alsa.. not automatic | 21:51 |

| thekip_ | my_haz: thx for the tips, just found my error | 22:00 |

| my_haz | thekip_: what was it so we know? | 22:00 |
| my_haz | StevenX: what do you want it to do | 22:00 |
| Slart | m-c: eSATA might be able to.. not sure though | 22:00 |
| caleb | I get a white screen when I log into ubuntu, unless I select the failsafe gnome session. I am sure this has nothing to do with emerald (I am using an emerald theme) or compiz as I have tried to remove them and then log in. | 22:00 |
| StevenX | my_haz, play a sound file at a certain time | 22:00 |

| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| Swish | you can use an eSATA port multiplier as a single "chain" increaser | 22:01 |
| my_haz | StevenX: i mean the very very very simplest would be to use `at` or `sleep 3500 ; mplayer good-morning.mp3` | 22:01 |
| m-c | Slart: thank - no, I just bought a new hard drive and noticed 2/2 sata slots were used | 22:01 |
| Swish | or also, an infiniband->sata module (and back again to sata) | 22:01 |
| lw0x15 | The_PHP_Jedi, have you checked alsamixer, i had my sound muted | 22:01 |
| Swish | but that's passive, I think. | 22:01 |
| m-c | my board is pretty old, so I doubt it has eSATA | 22:01 |
| thekip_ | ah damn, I'm sorry, didn't notice the lack of php at the opening tag.... | 22:01 |
| Slart | m-c: ouch.. well.. there are SATA controller cards that doesn't cost an arm and a leg | 22:01 |
| my_haz | StevenX: failing that xmms has a plugin xmms-alarm | 22:01 |
| m-c | thanks for your thoughts then | 22:02 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | lw0x15, yeah, I checked volume levels and unmuted. | 22:02 |
| m-c | oh, good idea | 22:02 |
| thekip_ | I thought you meant to just try a echo | 22:02 |
| StevenX | my_haz, the 3500 is in seconds? | 22:02 |
| Swish | anyway, there are such things as eSATA hubs/active things that increase the number of meters you can run the sata cable. | 22:02 |
| my_haz | StevenX: yes | 22:02 |
| steven | ah i forgot to check if the string is *only* my own name | 22:02 |
| StevenX | my_haz, k, thanks | 22:02 |
| steven | i wonder how the other clients do it | 22:02 |
| my_haz | StevenX: you might do `sleep $(( 3600 * 8 )); mplayer good-morning.mp3` | 22:02 |

| gbolte | what error message dose the ubuntu sshd throw if you try to log in 3 times with the wrong password? | 22:10 |
| m-c | slart: ubuntu compatibility being the most important aspect, of course | 22:10 |

| rhsanborn | hmm...perhaps it's firefox. I had to kill it to bring it down, and when I brought it back up, it can play fine... | 22:10 |
| StevenX | Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 22:10 |

| Soopa | stroyan: thanks :) | 22:18 |
| gnutron | matisse: rm or modify ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 22:18 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 22:21 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 22:21 |
| sensae | styyle: Whatever I have selected in file management - right now it launches rhythmbox | 22:21 |
| siriusblack | dil: fat 12 i think | 22:21 |
| Scunizi | Radit: scandisk=checkdisk but not the same or neccessary.. your sys will self check every 30 days. | 22:21 |
| jrib | sensae: /usr/share/applications/. Though you may just copy it when you find it to ~/.local/share/applications/ and edit it there. (You'll need to update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications after) | 22:21 |

| styyle | sensea: in a open nautilus window, go to edit-> preferences->media and wou can change the default application for media players | 22:23 |

| andersbr | Slart: I don't think so. I hit it accidentally. | 23:07 |
| tripps | so does suspend, etc. work better in heron? is it new code? | 23:07 |
| ixion | jinho: that will force vim to save the changes | 23:07 |
| chev_chelios | n6rej: i google-fu mysql and ubuntu file path, and i think it should be /etc/mysql | 23:07 |
| stroyan | foxhop: That's a new one to me. | 23:07 |
| fde | fiz1: what extensions? there is a way to force them to work... I forget how though, google | 23:07 |

| ceil420 | lol | 23:19 |
| jinho | jjlee: the UID isn't the real one, but I doubt that matters | 23:19 |
| jjlee | ghindo: what graphics card? | 23:19 |
| chev_chelios | if it is x3100, my friend had same problems, and we didn't work it out... | 23:19 |
| mikeyfbi | fde, odd hey? where would i go to recommend that feature? | 23:19 |
| mikeyfbi | kde, somewhere on ubuntuforums i suppose? | 23:20 |
| mikeyfbi | fde, somewhere on ubuntuforums i suppose? | 23:20 |
| siriusblack | hmm | 23:20 |
| gronne | ceil420: would you have any idea? | 23:20 |
| ghindo | jjlee: It's some intel Integrated graphics, not sure of the specific model | 23:20 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: intel x3100 from i965 chipset was our troublemaker... | 23:20 |
| gronne | it's an awesome game! | 23:20 |
| siriusblack | dil: still 492 kb... | 23:20 |
| fde | mikeyfbi: No, probably compiz bugzilla | 23:20 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: what computer, what chipset? | 23:20 |
| ceil420 | gronne, does it run natively in Linux, or are you trying to run it in Wine? | 23:20 |
| jinho | jjlee: http://pastebin.com/d4063d352 | 23:20 |
| jjlee | ghindo: don't know about that card, sorry | 23:20 |
| DIL | siriusblack: try fat32 | 23:20 |
| ghindo | chev_chelios: It's a Dell Inspiron 1420, and I'm not exactly sure of the chipset | 23:21 |
| siloko | I can't add a new 'location' browser to the main menu . . .:( | 23:21 |
| fde | mikeyfbi: There are MANY other window managers, many offering what you want though... 'aptitude search x-window-manager' to see a list. | 23:21 |
| gronne | ceil420: according to the bad document from it wine may be used to install some parts of it, but it should be able to run in linux from his port | 23:21 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: wat one second.. | 23:21 |
| DIL | siriusblack: b is fat 32 | 23:21 |
| fde | mikeyfbi: should be able to replace compiz with any via <windowmanager> --replace | 23:21 |
| ceil420 | gronne, you got a link to the document? | 23:21 |
| gronne | ceil420: sure, I'll find the link | 23:22 |
| siriusblack | got a second warning | 23:22 |
| AcornAcorn | if there's an error in the description for a program in add/remove programs, is there somewhere i can report it so it can be changed? | 23:22 |
| DIL | siriusblack: was it ever 2gb or is just the label that says it | 23:22 |
| siriusblack | but that's the only difference... | 23:22 |
| siriusblack | yea | 23:22 |
| fde | mikeyfbi: compiz is still relatively young, and has only been adding functions not related to effects over the last 6months to 1year... since it was mentioned as default for gnome. | 23:22 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: what cpu? | 23:22 |
| siriusblack | it was 2 GB for about a week, then it crashed, and now its 512 kb | 23:22 |
| zeno_ | hi i just installed 8.04 but wireless isnt working. it did on 7.10. lsmod shows the driver is running, but iwlist eth1 scan returns no results | 23:22 |
| mikeyfbi | fde, oh no, i'd have to get rid of compiz!! haha | 23:22 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: there are three models | 23:22 |
| siriusblack | (i had nearly 30 songs and over 70 games on it.) | 23:23 |
| andersbr | zeno_: Same problem here. | 23:23 |
| gronne | ceil420: this is the guy that's made it, http://icculus.org/avp/ I'll try and find more stuff | 23:23 |
| ghindo | chev_chelios: Core 2 Duo T7100 | 23:23 |
| ceil420 | icculus is a cool guy | 23:23 |
| DIL | try fsck /dev/sd? you may have a corrupted sd card that is it for me | 23:23 |
| fde | mikeyfbi: for now, or just live without, using things like the scale plugin for the time being. | 23:23 |
| ceil420 | he did what he could for UT3; too bad Epic screwed it up ;x | 23:23 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: it is the infamous x3100, sorry, cannot help you. all three have the same intel x3100 gpu. | 23:23 |
| ghindo | chev_chelios: Drat. Thanks, anyway | 23:23 |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: wait! are the restricted drivers enabled? | 23:23 |
| zeno_ | andersbr: using 2200BG intel? | 23:24 |
| jjlee | jinho: *if* you wanted to remount (but don't, yet), I think you want something like sudo mount -o remount -t ext /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f7d0a65f-55fe-42c5-bc5a-2fd8815802e9 / | 23:24 |

| andersbr | zeno_: lemme check. | 23:24 |
| jjlee | jinho: but I wonder if it's mounted readonly because of errors | 23:24 |
| ghindo | chev_chelios: It doesn't look like there are any restricted driver to BE enabled | 23:24 |
| jjlee | jinho: I suspect that's the reason -- look more carefully in dmesg first | 23:25 |

| ubottu | _nike: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:25 |
| rude | no | 23:25 |
| jjlee | jinho: presumably the errors were caused by the modifications you made to the mount options for that device | 23:25 |
| BCM43 | !ask | _nike_ | 23:25 |
| ubottu | _nike_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:25 |
| jinho | jjlee: well at the beginning it said "X cannot start because of internal errors" | 23:25 |
| BCM43 | rude: please stop | 23:25 |
| rude | sorry :-) | 23:25 |
| jjlee | jinho: don't worry about X | 23:25 |
| rude | scnr | 23:25 |
| _nike_ | the window in windows xp is perfect ... in ubuntu is very left ... how I can config this? | 23:25 |
| jjlee | jinho: that'll just be a side effect of root filesystem being mounted read-only | 23:25 |
| rrohde | Question: What's a good server side Ad Blocker for Linux? I want to have something like a transparent proxy that does ONLY ad blocking.. | 23:25 |
| jinho | jjlee: k one sec | 23:26 |
| andersbr | zeno_: hmm. Don't remember how to check. | 23:26 |
| Seeker` | _nike_: is there an autoconfigure on your monitor? | 23:26 |
| BCM43 | _nike_: what do you mean by very left? | 23:26 |
| jjlee | jinho: you're looking for stuff about that filesystem / mount point | 23:26 |
| zeno_ | lsmod | grep ipw | 23:26 |
| ceil420 | gronne, i don't understand swedish, but it looks like you just download ryan's code with cvs (or svn, as available on his site), and type "make", then run SETUP.EXE with Wine. after it's installed, it looks like you run the 'Avp' shell script (with ./Avp) | 23:26 |
| * Chiselhuk_Plus1 waves hello sheepishly....feeling like a prat! | 23:26 | |
| chev_chelios | ghindo: sorry:) | 23:26 |

| AcornAcorn | if there's an error in the description for a program in add/remove programs, is there somewhere i can report it so it can be changed? | 23:26 |

| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Hi guys, I've successfully eradicated MS from my home installing Ubuntu on an old laptop, but I need some guidance as to installing say flash player for Firefox | 23:27 |
| siriusblack | dil: my phone now displays something positive: available 2955724 KB, free 0kb | 23:27 |
| BCM43 | ceil420: i assumed that the peoples whose packages they were wrote them | 23:28 |
| ceil420 | gronne, do you have libSDL 1.2 and libopenal? judging by the links in that guide, those are probably required | 23:28 |
| ubuntu_ | Chiselhuk_Plus1: just visiting Youtube does that already, AFAIK. | 23:28 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as something | ||
| fde | BCM43: yup... and a lot of apps actually use launchpad for managing such things upstream too... | 23:28 |
| m13 | Chiselhuk_Plus1 , try run youtube video, FF should ask u for flash install | 23:28 |

| fde | Scunizi: Umm, Debian 3.0 is Debian Sarge... that is about 5 years old... Ubuntu is based on Debian Sid | 23:31 |
| funkyhat| | Chiselhuk_Plus1: for installing flash player, it's actually best to use any website -but- youtube that has flash content. Then firefox will ask you if you want to install the flash plugin | 23:31 |

| fde | SuN13: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers tell you about it? | 23:33 |
| funkyhat| | ceil420: it's not the site that should be offering the plugin, firefox should detect that a plugin is required that it doesn't have and suggest how you do it yourself | 23:33 |

| Vedalken | I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop. My sound only works in pulseaudio (or autodetect which in turn redirects to pulse) modes and need to know if my drivers (from windows) would need to be installed via WINE or is it because my Onboard sound is an unsupprted type?

| SitUbuntuSit | how can i play a flv file in ubuntu | 23:36 |
| Chuggst3r | Seeker': It's what i thought as well, but now this might have been a severely stupid move...but I went through the sypatic package manager and removed the new kernel upgrades. | 23:36 |
| * fde wonders why he never has any fun issues to fix on his machine :'( | 23:37 | |
| Seeker` | Chuggst3r: did it remove anything else? | 23:37 |
| Chuggst3r | Seeker | 23:37 |
| jjlee | jinho: if that doesn't work, try "-o remount,data=writeback" instead of "-o remount" in the mount command | 23:37 |
| Chuggst3r | It removed a few other packages related to that same kernel. | 23:37 |
| ceil420 | catandfear, for one-off commands, yes. you can also log in as root in the terminal using "su -" and using root's password, but be careful with that (and remember to "exit" when you're done) | 23:37 |

| julle_ | I've installed the new linux modules that came with the update for gutsy, my gfx driver has gone wild, cant get a proper resolution, is there anyway to fix this ? | 23:37 |
| Steve-cal | SitUbuntuSit: Many ways, but you could use "KMPlayer" for example. | 23:37 |
| gronne | ceil420: ok, I'd love to post the errors that I get when I type make, but for some reason it's too many errors that "terminal" can't display every line!! | 23:37 |

| Chuggst3r | Seeker': When I run the Update Manager via the terminal, it gives a "current dist not found in meta-release file" | 23:38 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Steve-cal: Thanks, I tried synaptic but it didn't pick up anything I typed! Will look for "flashplugin-nonfree" Thanks *mwah* | 23:38 |
| Chuggst3r | Seeker': I can't imagine it being a hardware issue, I mean I'm running the card right now. It works, but Linux doesn't detect it. | 23:39 |
| Steve-cal | Chiselhuk_Plus1: You have to make sure all of your repositories are enabled in the "Software Sources"... | 23:39 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Steve-cal: You say that like u think I know wot i'm doing!! lol | 23:39 |
| Chuggst3r | Seeker': It also went from working properly, to rebooting when it asked me to and having it stop functioning. I can't imagine that happening... | 23:40 |

| catandfear | i need to get root access to it but i don't know how. I have never really used terminal | 23:41 |

| fde | catandfear: aptitude install clamav will update if newer version is available. | 23:41 |

| powertool08 | catandfear: to run a command as root in terminal just add "sudo" in front | 23:42 |
| krim | I tried running freecol from terminal now and got "exec: 26: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java: not found | 23:42 |
| fde | catandfear: yeah... I missed sudo as powertool08 points out | 23:43 |
| Ganandorf | what application allows me to get packets from xdccing.com | 23:43 |
| Chuggst3r | Seeker': Sorry, went to test reconfiguring the card. Still nothing...any ideas at all? | 23:43 |
| hanth1 | krim: Do you have java 6 installed? | 23:43 |
| Seeker` | Chuggst3r: none, sorry | 23:43 |
| fde | catandfear: It's really not to protect you though, viruses don't effect Ubuntu... it is to protect people you e-mail etc, and they should have scanners themselves. | 23:43 |
| Chuggst3r | :( Anyone else have any suggestions? | 23:44 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: Happen to have any suggestions? | 23:44 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Steve-cal: I'm there now..... | 23:44 |
| krim | hanth1: hanth1 Shouldn't aptitude install everything the package needs to run? It installed these two packages with freecol: libhiglayout-java libwoodstox-java | 23:44 |
| zeno_ | after i do dhclient eth1 dmesg gives eth1: link is not ready. how do i fix | 23:44 |
| Steve-cal | Ganandorf: What do you mean "get packets"? | 23:44 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Steve-cal: everything under "ubuntu software" is ticked, do I need to go under the other headings 'n tick stuff too? :) | 23:44 |
| Ganandorf | well the stuff that you get from mirc | 23:44 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: None if linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-generic is installed. | 23:45 |
| Ganandorf | i think thats what they call it | 23:45 |
| catandfear | I understand that but still, tin foil hats are in fashion these days. I understand the sudo as superuser and have been trying to understand the terminal but how would I go about finding the commands I need | 23:45 |
| Ganandorf | http://xdccing.com/ | 23:45 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: You said booting 2.6.24-16-generic doesn't fix the issue, so idk | 23:45 |
| Ganandorf | normally i use mirc on windows | 23:45 |
| Steve-cal | Chiselhuk_Plus1: You should be OK I think, close it, go back to Synaptic, and hit the "Reload" button... | 23:45 |
| Seeker` | catandfear: look on the clamav website / forums | 23:45 |
| Ganandorf | but i not sure what to use on linux | 23:45 |
| powertool08 | catandfear: google has all the answers | 23:45 |
| Ganandorf | pigden does not work for me | 23:45 |
| hanth1 | Krim: Yes ideally it should take care of dependencies like that. But not always, like if the person who packaged freecol forgot something. Can you try the command which java in a prompt? | 23:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ganandorf xchat | 23:46 |
| fde | Ganandorf: install 'xchat' | 23:46 |
| Irreducibilis | Could someone in "here" help me? | 23:46 |
| fde | !ask | Irreducibilis | 23:46 |
| ubottu | Irreducibilis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:46 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool | 23:46 |
| julien_c | Ganandorf: if you like console-based apps, 'irssi' is nice | 23:46 |
| furythor | Who could help with sound problem with Wolf ET, and where I can get irssi ? | 23:46 |
| Ganandorf | thanks guys | 23:46 |
| fde | furythor: sudo aptitude install irssi | 23:46 |
| powertool08 | irssi ftw! | 23:46 |
| zeno_ | i think i figured out my problem, Radio Frequency Kill Switch is on, how does one turn it off i have no idea what it is | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ganandorf Many others like konversation etc... | 23:47 |
| jbroome | grab screen too | 23:47 |
| krim | hanth1: /usr/bin/java was the result. I also found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779645 but don't know how to create symbolic link (or if it would solve my problem) and when I looked for sun-java in aptitude I found several choices, don't know which to choose. | 23:47 |
| Irreducibilis | Right, well I want to run a local SMTP server, but my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP on port 25, so how would I use putty to forward port 25 to say... 15000 or something, so when I attempt to send via the local server it comes out 15000, not 25 | 23:47 |
| Ganandorf | so konversation is kde and xchat is xde i presume | 23:47 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: Most ISP's will block that unless you have a registered domain. | 23:48 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Steve-cal: Blonde moment, I'm looking at synaptic on this pc which is FINE not the laptop!!! :( | 23:48 |
| fde | Ganandorf: Xchat is GTK | 23:48 |
| fde | Ganandorf: Gnome is GTK | 23:48 |
| rohan | is there some shortcut to remove all the old kernel related packages? e.g. 8.04 is on 2.6.24-17, and i want to remove all the -16 related pacakges. how do i do that? | 23:48 |
| fde | Ganandorf: Xchat is not related to Gnome though. | 23:49 |
| hanth1 | krim: From this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255573 you can see syntax for creating a symbolic link | 23:49 |
| Irreducibilis | Yes, I realize that, but if I were to send it through a secure shell, forwarding it through putty, then it is no problem, right? | 23:49 |
| Irreducibilis | Because it would appear to originate from port 15000 or whatever, not 25 | 23:49 |
| Ganandorf | ok | 23:49 |
| Chuggst3r | Alrighty, so rolling back to the -16 distro fixed my Administration icons...but still no video card...can't imagine why the video card is doing this... | 23:49 |
| krim | hanth1: Thanks! | 23:49 |
| Ganandorf | and what about konversation | 23:49 |
| hendrix | does someone know somekind of fast manual for basic users for ubuntu | 23:49 |
| hendrix | ?? | 23:49 |
| Vedalken | I have a Realtek HD onboard sound card. Is there any way to install the drivers for it (which are windows drivers) into ubuntu? | 23:49 |
| fde | Ganandorf: although, konversation is not part of KDE either... it is just a package that depends kdelibs | 23:49 |
| lw0x15 | who has a solution to this: how can i have a video on youtube playing with a sound together with xmms with a sound cuz now.. its either xmms or video | 23:49 |
| lw0x15 | cant have both | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ganandorf you can run either one in gnome or kde | 23:50 |
| Ganandorf | i see cool | 23:50 |
| frank_c | I have accidentally installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my XP 40GB HDD... the installation used the whole drive,and reformatted it, although most of it is unused... can TRK rescue any of the XP data?? do you know of any free software that can?? | 23:50 |
| bdog | !no | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! | 23:50 |
| Vedalken | Frank_c: once it re-partitions the drive unfortunately not. | 23:50 |
| rohan | frank_c: you have a very slim chance of recovering data | 23:51 |
| fde | Ganandorf: kdelibs is a library adding additional functions on top of qt which many developers like to use with that toolkit. | 23:51 |
| debian | Who is snakking norsk? | 23:51 |
| powertool08 | lw0x15: try changing the output plugin in xmms from OSS to ALSA | 23:51 |
| Irreducibilis | ...... | 23:51 |
| frank_c | thought so... thanks | 23:51 |
| Irreducibilis | After how many lines is it safe to bump my question | 23:51 |
| SuN13 | fde: i was able to fix the problem, i dont know how but after the update yesterday something got corrupted... i install the correct restricted driver version...the previous version was installed....and fix the x server during recovery and it works now | 23:51 |
| BCM43 | Irreducibilis: wait about 5 min | 23:51 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: You can just configure sendmail or whatever to use a different port :/ | 23:51 |
| krim | hanth1: ln -s /usr/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java or the other way around? | 23:51 |
| lw0x15 | powertool08, where can i change it :| cant find anything to chaneg | 23:52 |
| lw0x15 | change | 23:52 |
| debian | hendrix: Aint you dead? | 23:52 |
| fde | SuN13: You fixed it by installing the linux-restricted-modules package for the new kernel ;) | 23:52 |
| Irreducibilis | fde: Well, I am trying to use Mercury mail server to route my own mail without the help of a third party | 23:52 |
| fde | SuN13: Glad it's fixed though | 23:52 |
| marcosani | hello everybody | 23:52 |
| Irreducibilis | But I am finding it difficult when my ISP blocks outgoing port 25 | 23:52 |
| BCM43 | !hi | marcosani | 23:52 |
| ubottu | marcosani: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:52 |
| marcosani | thanks | 23:52 |
| hanth1 | krim: I think you got it the right way around. ln -s something-real something-symbolic | 23:53 |
| SuN13 | fde: yeah...i dont know how it got uninstalled..thanks anyways | 23:53 |
| marcosani | as u could imagine i need help | 23:53 |
| Irreducibilis | Now, I am quite certain it would work fine if I could forward it to something else, I just need to know how to use putty to forward it | 23:53 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: never heard of it... try postfix or sendmail or something. Sendmail is used by something like 80% of the web | 23:53 |
| Penol | Is there a mediacenter solution for ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| BCM43 | marcosani: ask a question | 23:53 |
| powertool08 | lw0x15: open up xmms, right click, go to options -> preferences | 23:53 |
| fde | Penol: mythbuntu | 23:53 |
| moose_ | hey guys how many of you here upgraded to UBUNTU HARDY? | 23:53 |
| Irreducibilis | fde: Is sendmail a full featured SMTP server? | 23:53 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: yes | 23:53 |
| marcosani | tanks bcm | 23:53 |
| Irreducibilis | I will take a look | 23:53 |
| marcosani | can i contact u private? | 23:53 |
| BCM43 | moose_: almost all i think | 23:53 |
| marcosani | is easier for me | 23:54 |
| tat_ | hello can anyone help me with my monitor resolution ? i have a 1280x800 monitor that uses 60 hz i created a modeline with gtf and the resolution is ok now bu all the ketters are weard | 23:54 |
| moose_ | haha | 23:54 |
| BCM43 | marcosani: no need to. just ask the whole channel | 23:54 |
| powertool08 | lw0x15: 1st tab is audio plugins, try several of them and see if it fixes it | 23:54 |
| tat_ | hello can anyone help me with my monitor resolution ? i have a 1280x800 monitor that uses 60 hz i created a modeline with gtf and the resolution is ok now bu all the letters are weard | 23:54 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: Sendmail is THE SMTP server... it is what all implementations are either based on or reimplement. | 23:54 |
| mcirce | hendrix: if you google around there are a ton of websites out their for those new to Linux and Ubuntu | 23:54 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: Postfix is easier to configure though. | 23:54 |
| krim | hanth1: I tried both :) the 'right one' gave me "no such file" the wrong one gave me "file exists" and freecol still won't start | 23:54 |
| jinho | jjlee: sorry I was afk, can you tell me the remount command again- what you wrote is beyond my irc client's buffer- appreciate it | 23:54 |
| Nic | Hello, I'm trying to get my "MSI Digivox A/D, DVB-T" to work on ubuntu-linux, it doesn't find it.. any ideas? | 23:54 |
| moose_ | BCM43: how is the new UBUNTU? | 23:54 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: Your ISP probably uses Sendmail... | 23:54 |
| BCM43 | moose_: great if your wireless works | 23:54 |
| marcosani | bcm43, still there? | 23:55 |
| jjlee | jinho: sudo mount -o remount -t ext /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f7d0a65f-55fe-42c5-bc5a-2fd8815802e9 / | 23:55 |
| Irreducibilis | Oh good | 23:55 |
| Rosendahl | I have problems getting my gfx card running 3d graphics... Using the Hardy Dist :) ... Anyone with advice? I'm sort of a newb ;) | 23:55 |
| Chiselh_uk | Steve-cal, When I access repositories on the laptop it brings up a window saying "CD Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" | 23:55 |
| jinho | jjlee: thanks | 23:55 |
| Vedalken | Anyone have an idea on how to install Third-party drivers for a Realtek HD onboard sound device in ubuntu. I have the windows drivers but that's it and i can't find any place that would have the drivers for it. | 23:55 |
| Irreducibilis | Mercury is an utter hastle to config | 23:55 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: For receiving, you'll need something like dovecot (IMAP and POP) | 23:55 |
| jjlee | jinho: or perhaps sudo mount -o remount,data=writeback -t ext /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f7d0a65f-55fe-42c5-bc5a-2fd8815802e9 / | 23:55 |
| marcosani | hi, anybody can help me with a wireless problem? | 23:55 |
| james__ | hey people, My PC freezes once in a while when I use the File Browser. Using Hardy. Any thoughts about how to fix this? | 23:55 |
| BCM43 | !ask | marcosani | 23:55 |
| ubottu | marcosani: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:55 |
| Chiselh_uk | Steve-cal, I used an old original Ubuntu disc the ex left! | 23:56 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: New interesting little thing, I've used EnvyNG to install the nvidia drivers, and it detects my video card as the proper 7900 GT. | 23:56 |
| moose_ | BCM43: i havent installed the new ubuntu cuz i want to wait untill august but my friends insist on installing it too haha | 23:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chiselh_uk in a terminal type lsb_release -a | 23:56 |
| catandfear | is there a hotkey command like ctrl+alt-delete in ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| moose_ | actually im waiting for the August release | 23:56 |
| jinho | jjlee: "by-uuid/ is a parameter for the mount program? | 23:56 |
| hanth1 | krim: Hang on I am gonna test it here (tired can't remember syntax) | 23:56 |
| moose_ | maybe to see if there is anything new | 23:56 |
| moose_ | haha | 23:56 |
| linuxmademecrazy | Hi all! | 23:56 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: How is that an issue? | 23:56 |
| trait | i tried to fix a alsa-bug, like listed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/192382 but after this i have no sound anymore. can anybody tell me how to get the standart kernel with standart vonfiguration? | 23:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 192382 in alsa-driver "alsamixer broken in hardy - intel hda" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 23:56 |
| Steve-cal | Chiselh_uk: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 23:56 |
| Irreducibilis | fde: and does this software, either sendmail or postfix allow me to change the port it uses? | 23:56 |
| jjlee | jinho: no, just a way of naming device files | 23:56 |
| marcosani | ok bcm... i installed ubutnu 8.02 and everuthing works fine, including my wirelss card (broadcom 4312) but when i leave my laptop alone, after a while my connection just disappear... | 23:57 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: Both do, yes | 23:57 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: Not so much an issue, but more of a pointer that it's something with Linux. I would think if it was a hardware issue it wouldn't detect the video card at all. | 23:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | moose_ there is no august release | 23:57 |
| Chiselh_uk | Steve-cal, It's 5.10 on the laptop, that's Breezy Badger, I'm using Gutsy on my pc! | 23:57 |
| moose_ | r u sure | 23:57 |
| jinho | jjlee: my UUID starts with: f7d0a65d-xx-xx-xx-xx-xxx, do I need a 3 before f7d0a65d, or was that a typo? | 23:57 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: Running the -16 kernel did fix my Administration problem, just having the video card issue now. | 23:57 |
| Chiselh_uk | Steve-cal, Can I not just upgrade it online? :) | 23:57 |
| jinho | jjlee: just want to be sure =) | 23:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !release | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 23:57 |
| krim | hanth1: Maybe I need to install sun-java instead of making symbolic links. | 23:57 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: Umm, it's probably detecting it via the kernel... | 23:57 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: Envy just packages never nvidia drivers. | 23:58 |
| babolat | X Window has been crashing on me. how do i know which graphics card driver to download from the nVidia Website? | 23:58 |
| moose_ | how long is the LTS support? | 23:58 |
| fde | newer* | 23:58 |
| Steve-cal | Chiselh_uk: You mean upgrade from 5.10? Yes, but you have alot of upgrades to go through. | 23:58 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: True enough, so if the kernel is seeing it properly what the heck could be causing this... | 23:58 |
| babolat | 3 years, moose_ | 23:58 |
| Irreducibilis | fde: Oh, and the program need to run on windows too | 23:58 |
| fde | moose_: 3 years desktop 5 years server | 23:58 |
| marcosani | got the question bcm? | 23:58 |
| Irreducibilis | Do they run on it | 23:58 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: What program does? | 23:58 |
| Irreducibilis | sendmail or postfix | 23:58 |
| Phenix | I wonder if someone would mind helping me, I installed FNFX for my Toshiba FN keys, and now I have some error. I just wish to remove it, and forget my FN keys. How do I remove it? | 23:58 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: I mean if it didn't function as a video card, I don't think it should be having this problem. Regardless, I'm gonna try another reboot and see if it works. | 23:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chiselh_uk No you cant.. it has reached eol and it would be a long hard day to upgrade it as you would need all of the releases in between | 23:58 |
| Chiselh_uk | Steve-cal, So where do I start, no d/load limit...in fact thanks to AOL cocking up I have free b/band!! LOL | 23:58 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: Not the correct modules for the kernel. | 23:58 |
| trait | no one an idea? | 23:58 |
| linuxmademecrazy | Anyone know anything about where I can get myself unshield? I'm pretty much a linux idiot, and I've seen a lot of files, and I can't seem to find a unshield package. | 23:59 |
| jinho | jjlee: the remount worked it seems | 23:59 |
| moose_ | ok kool | 23:59 |
| usser | linuxmademecrazy, unshield? | 23:59 |
| fde | Irreducibilis: Nothing worth having runs on Windows exclusively. | 23:59 |
| BCM43 | !info unshield | 23:59 |
| ubottu | unshield (source: unshield): extracts CAB files from InstallShield installers. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 60 kB | 23:59 |
| Chiselh_uk | Jack_Sparrow, So where do I d/load Gutsy? | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | linuxmademecrazy what is unshield | 23:59 |
| Irreducibilis | fde: But does it run on windows at all? | 23:59 |
| james__ | linuxmademecrazy, drop the linux in the second line | 23:59 |
| hanth1 | krim: You could try that. But which java seems to show that you have java installed already... I suspect it IS sun java 6. (java -version will tell you) | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !download | 23:59 |
| 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! | 23:59 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: ubuttu knows all | 23:59 |
