| neofax | Brother_NoX: You mean using wine? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Catslacks | JonathanEllis: How do I do that? | 00:00 |
| Arrick | CITguy08 if you are installing a SERVER, doesnt common sense say that you know how to setup a static IP on your server? | 00:00 |
| Brother_NoX | yes using wine | 00:00 |
| mordof | neofax: they're already uncommented | 00:00 |
| insomnia_ | neofax: didnt find an error | 00:00 |
| mordof | neofax: they were by default | 00:00 |
| HackOfChris | skatefox, then what would crossover office be used for? | 00:00 |
| Steve-cal | Catslacks: I don't know of a way to force it to recognize your DVD. | 00:00 |
| ompaul | Brother_NoX, wine best ask in #winehq | 00:00 |
| amrik2 | hi, when i try to sudo aptitude dist-upgrade the openoffice.org language packs get broken for me | 00:00 |
| holyguyver_ | How do I get Audacity to work with Hardy?\ | 00:00 |
| neofax | insomnia_: Do you have X then? | 00:00 |
| amrik2 | any ideas on how to fix this? | 00:00 |
| neofax | mordof: You will need to use google to find a repo that contains irssi | 00:01 |
| skatefox | HackOfChris: Mainly for microsoft office apps and what not | 00:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HackOfChris Windows business type apps.. | 00:01 |
| doolph | hello | 00:01 |
| CITguy08 | Arrick: yes, but if in the event that you cannot set it up properly. DHCP enables you to install the packages you need without having to muddle with the static NIC address. | 00:01 |
| doolph | how are you? | 00:01 |
| insomnia_ | neofax: when you say X what exactly do you meen? i have X serv running i think | 00:01 |
| CITguy08 | That's at least how I look at it. | 00:01 |
| Catslacks | JonathanEllis: It says to insert a cd even when it is in | 00:02 |
| neofax | mordof: That is strange, because irssi is in the universe repo | 00:02 |
| jrib | mordof: irssi is in the repos. Pastebin the contents of your sources.list and the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install irssi' | 00:02 |
| HackOfChris | What partitions would yall suggest with a 110g hard drive? I need windows vista and ubuntu | 00:02 |
| neofax | insomnia_: Do <ctl>+<alt>+7 | 00:02 |
| Arrick | CITguy08 I kind of like the option to choose static or dhcp at the beginning, because my IP's are normally allocated for servers, and the dhcp bank isnt allowed to the net other than through those servers lol | 00:03 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | HackOfChris: Bad language like that, is it necessary?? LOL | 00:03 |
| neofax | If X is up, then you will be in it then after pressing those keys. | 00:03 |
| revilodraw | when i try to configure my network interfaces, i am told that 'the interface does not exist'. also, i was using the proprietary driver for my wireless card, and all of a sudden it has disappeared. | 00:03 |
| tj83 | HackifChris.... I have 150... I like mine 50/50/50 for two OS's and data storage | 00:03 |
| insomnia_ | neofax: ok | 00:03 |
| doolph | anyone know how do I disable the beeps??? | 00:03 |
| CITguy08 | Arrick: I agree, but for those that need something up quick, I think DHCP helps so that you can configure the static IP later. | 00:03 |
| Arrick | HackOfChris install vista FIRST, and you want about 40+ for vista alone | 00:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HackOfChris 70 - 80 windows.. 10 root 30 /home plus swap equal > ram | 00:03 |
| Steve-cal | Catslacks: Did you ever have your ethernet/wireless cards working on that computer under any OS? | 00:03 |
| tj83 | HackofChris I have 150... I like mine 50/50/50 for two OS's and data storage | 00:04 |
| mordof | neofax: decided to use normal repos instead of the ca. ones.. seemed to be the issue | 00:04 |
| Catslacks | Steve-cal: Both worked under Vista no problem | 00:04 |
| AcornAcorn | argh, what does "umount: /media/cdrom0 mount disagrees with the fstab" mean? :( | 00:04 |
| dare | I broked synaptec PLEASE HELP | 00:04 |
| dare | E: The package avast4server needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 00:04 |
| dare | E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. | 00:04 |
| HackOfChris | Chiselhuk_Plus1, lol, well if engineering didnt require it i would use it | 00:04 |
| CatCheeto | tj83: What about a swap partition? | 00:04 |
| insomnia_ | neofax: btw i just checked with synaptic and for some reason nvidia-xconfig isnt installed (not ticked)... and when i ticked i... it said that nvidia-glx would be removed in the process | 00:04 |
| HackOfChris | tj83, what os's are ya using? | 00:04 |
| tj83 | HackofChris but thats really depends on how you want to make use of it... | 00:04 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Jack_Sparrow: You using bad language too!! Best tagline I ever heard from the old BBS days "If a tree falls on Bill Gates, WHO CARES!!" :) | 00:04 |
| tj83 | Catcheeto.... ya.. i just dont think of swap as a useful partition.... swap is 2gb... so its more like 49/49/49/2 | 00:05 |
| mordof | neofax: yeah, lol.. canadian repos are messed xD wouldn't update | 00:05 |
| tj83 | HackofChris... I was using vista/Ubuntu | 00:05 |
| Arrick | CITguy08 thats just something I would like to remain an option, however if the server im working on doesnt get past "Resolving dependencies of base packages" the point will be moot anyways | 00:05 |
| tj83 | but now its ubuntu/testbed/storage | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Chiselhuk_Plus1 What is bad language.. I would like to know as I would not intentionally do that? | 00:05 |
| mcrawfor | trying to upgrade feisty->hardy but do-release-upgrade only sees gutsy - how can I get it to see hardy? | 00:05 |
| insomnia_ | neofax: btw i just checked with synaptic and for some reason nvidia-xconfig isnt installed (not ticked)... and when i ticked i... it said that nvidia-glx would be removed in the process | 00:05 |
| CatCheeto | tj83: just checking. I am newish to linux in general, wanted to make sure that 2 gb I have for a swap drive really is useful, lol | 00:06 |
| deltaslaya | What is Analog Mix? It solved my static problem when I muted it? | 00:06 |
| HackOfChris | tj83, I need to install vista first then install ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| insomnia_ | neofax: and i did alt_cntrl+7 | 00:06 |
| * Chiselhuk_Plus1 regards any mention of Microsoft or any of it's products as bad language!!! :P | 00:06 | |
| tj83 | HackofChris... i just seen the light and realized.. one doesnt need windows anymore | 00:06 |
| jrib | mcrawfor: you have to upgrade to gutsy first, you can't skip releases in general | 00:06 |
| doolph | HackOfChris: you don't need Vista anymore | 00:06 |
| tj83 | HackofChris thats is correct. vista first. | 00:06 |
| mcrawfor | jrib: really, that has always worked for me before | 00:06 |
| doolph | lol | 00:06 |
| jrib | mcrawfor: it's not supported | 00:06 |
| tj83 | but i encourage you to dump windows entirely | 00:06 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | doolph: Vista is a bad word too!! tsk-tsk! | 00:06 |
| Arrick | Chiselhuk_Plus1 thats because you like to work twice as hard for the same result ;'P | 00:06 |
| Steve-cal | Catslacks: Well I don't think I can help, because if Ubuntu doesn't even have logical names assigned to your ethernet/wireless cards... that's too low-level of a problem for what I'm experienced with. | 00:07 |
| amrik2 | i thought we werent allowed to say v*sta, its a banned word in this channel | 00:07 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | tj83: That's my man!!! Kill Windoze!! :) | 00:07 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: I personally have ubuntu only, but I have VirtualBox with windows in it | 00:07 |
| neofax | insomnia_: It may mean you have to different repos pulling in that file and one is a higher version than the other or you could have manually installed nvidia-xconfig | 00:07 |
| doolph | Ubuntu + virtualization + XP if you really need windows applications | 00:07 |
| tj83 | doolph.... i second your opinion! | 00:07 |
| HackOfChris | doolph, well if linux could run these engineering programs, i'd just go linux | 00:07 |
| AcornAcorn | argh, what does "umount: /media/cdrom0 mount disagrees with the fstab" mean? :( | 00:07 |
| Catslacks | Steve-cal: Yeah, I'll give it a bit more and then I give up. I've been defeated by Ubuntu. :( lol. | 00:07 |
| glitsj16 | catcheeto: how much RAM do you have ? | 00:07 |
| randbot | freetards... | 00:07 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, if i run windows in VirtualBox, what all can i do? | 00:07 |
| doolph | HackOfChris: try VirtualBox, I have Adobe CS3 Full in it | 00:07 |
| jrib | randbot: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 00:07 |
| facilitador | hello friends | 00:07 |
| Gh0st75 | anyone having trouble downloading packages? | 00:07 |
| neofax | AcornAcorn: It may mean your /etc/mtab points to a different drive than your /etc/fstab | 00:07 |
| CatCheeto | Glitsj16: 1 1/3 gb, I have 1/2 gig for windows, since I try not to use it, lol | 00:08 |
| hari_seldon99 | Hi. I'm tryng to boot off the hardy cd in 64-bit but it just drops me to a busybox initramfs shell instead | 00:08 |
| Arrick | everything as long as you DONT use the half-baked ubuntu OSE version of virtualbox HackOfChris | 00:08 |
| facilitador | I needed a link for download ubuntu ultimate | 00:08 |
| Arrick | ubuntu.com | 00:08 |
| Arrick | there is no ultimate | 00:08 |
| glitsj16 | CatCheeto: 2GB swap should be plenty in that case | 00:08 |
| doolph | ubuntu ultimate? | 00:08 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Easily? Everything. Doing things like using USB and such takes more work. Also have to worry about having enough RAM to run both at once | 00:08 |
| HackOfChris | doolph, the program I have to run communicated and programs a breadbord for chip programming. Will Windows in Virtual Box be able to do this? It's connected USB | 00:08 |
| randbot | Anyone | 00:08 |
| * Chiselhuk_Plus1 is no techy by all means 'n I can maintain a MS free home!! :D | 00:09 | |
| facilitador | I needed a link for download ubuntu ultimate 1.8 | 00:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mint | facilitador | 00:09 |
| ubottu | facilitador: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 00:09 |
| doolph | ugh | 00:09 |
| HackOfChris | Arrick half-baked? | 00:09 |
| doolph | I don't know you have to try it | 00:09 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, the program I have to run communicated and programs a breadbord for chip programming. Will Windows in Virtual Box be able to do this? It's connected USB | 00:09 |
| AcornAcorn | neofax: oh, maybe rightclick>unmount has nothing to do with gmount-iso | 00:09 |
| amrik2 | HackOfChris: if you are using atmel avrs, then the linux suite of tools is quite complete | 00:09 |
| randbot | jrib: | 00:09 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Ewww, had to have USB... lol. It might work fine, I haven't had luck getting my USB stuff to work right, but I am very noobish, lol | 00:10 |
| facilitador | ha ok | 00:10 |
| Arrick | HackOfChris yes, the repo version of virtual box has a lot of issues, either get the .deb for linux, or go to #vbox and ask for a link to the .run script | 00:10 |
| amirman84 | i just wanted to let everyone know that this fix: http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html works perfectly. it lets you use pulseaudio for flash (which lets you have audio in flash without having to close other programs using audio first.) and it prevents flash from ever crashing firefox. all i have to say about this is WOOHOO | 00:10 |
| holyguyver_ | Audacity is for some reason not producing sound in Hardy, is it because of Pulse, & how do I fix it? | 00:10 |
| tj83 | HackofChris... you might be surprised if you dig hard enough.. i bet you will find opensource software to accomplish chip programming | 00:10 |
| CatCheeto | amirman84:Thanks, I have been looking for a good guide for that | 00:11 |
| holyguyver_ | can someone please help me | 00:11 |
| revilodra1 | i was using the proprietary driver for my wireless card, and then it just disappeared from the restricted drivers thing. how do i get it back? | 00:11 |
| glitsj16 | holyguyver_: check http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup .. it has a few tips about audacity and PulseAudio | 00:11 |
| holyguyver_ | Thank you | 00:11 |
| HackOfChris | tj83, I probably could, but the teachers require the code and source files to all projects. They compile it themselves to check us. It sucks | 00:11 |
| hari_seldon99 | hi. I'm trying to boot off the latest 64-bit hardy but it just drops me to a busybox initramfsshell instead | 00:11 |
| glitsj16 | yw | 00:11 |
| vxd2 | prw------- what is this?? | 00:12 |
| Arrick | hrmm, anyone have an idea why my ubuntu server 8.04 install has been hanging for 15 minutes at 3% of the "Resolving dependencies of base packages..." on a compaq proliant ml330? | 00:12 |
| tj83 | HackofChris... I See.. | 00:12 |
| HackOfChris | tj83, so i'm kinda stuck to using there software alone | 00:12 |
| Starnestommy | vxd2: pipe, with read+write permissions for the owner only | 00:13 |
| HackOfChris | tj83, the only reason I was considering dual booting | 00:13 |
| glitsj16 | Arrick: there's been different people reporting mirrors down at the moment, it might be related .. | 00:13 |
| Arrick | HackOfChris you could still give them the source if its written on an OSS platform | 00:13 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: I would start out with something like (depending on software) 20gb for windows, 2 gig swap, and rest for ubuntu. Then try setting virtual box and if works, you can forget about needing windows | 00:13 |
| tj83 | HackofChris Well.. there is no shame in using windows for your lively-hood albeit work/education...... But Linux need to be your primary "you" OS | 00:13 |
| vxd2 | Starnestommy: what do pipes do? | 00:13 |
| Steve-cal | Arrick: I don't, but you might want to try the folks in #ubuntu-server as they might have more experience with a server install. | 00:13 |
| PastorBones | Anybody got a clue as to why Ajax doens't work with ISPConfig? | 00:13 |
| bear_ | I'm having an issue with version 8.04 not being able to power off my PC. Is anyone else having this problem as well? | 00:13 |
| amrik2 | Arrick: did you swap vterminals to look for error messages? | 00:13 |
| Arrick | glitsj16 i shouldnt need a repo when I have the disk | 00:13 |
| Starnestommy | vxd2: they allow one process to send information to another | 00:13 |
| Arrick | vterminals? | 00:13 |
| Arrick | how do I do that amrik2 ? | 00:13 |
| vxd2 | i was hacked and i have rootkit srv4, how can i identify the attacker? | 00:14 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, another thing is i play wow, and can not get it to work right in ubuntu yet | 00:14 |
| amrik2 | Arrick: you can check with ctrl+alt+f1, f1-f8 are your vterms | 00:14 |
| Catslacks | Can anyone help me get build-essential installed without the internet? | 00:14 |
| McJester | does anyone have a copy of sources.list for Hardy PowerPC? | 00:15 |
| KebabBob | Can I somehow connect to a windows vpn with ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| PascalLapalme | rmll | 00:15 |
| PascalLapalme | Hi | 00:15 |
| m_newton | Does anyone know how to get Google Talk that is in TERMINAL?? (sort of like naim but for gmail) | 00:15 |
| legend2440 | Catslacks: are you on windows computer now? | 00:15 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: I have gotten WoW to play using wine. My vid card doesn't meet requirements on this PC though, so it was slow. My understanding is it is due to the vid card and not running on wine, but I can't confirm till I get my normal PC back :( | 00:15 |
| vrkhans | hi i have a problem | 00:16 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, what vid card ya got? | 00:16 |
| Arrick | !ask | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:16 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, when I run WOW I get 4fps | 00:16 |
| bear_ | I'm having an issue with ubuntu not being able to power off my PC. version 8.04. is this an ACPI issue?? | 00:16 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Onboard... lol. Even with that I was getting 10fps. I honestly don't even remember the specs to it | 00:17 |
| Catslacks | legend2440: Yes | 00:17 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, Using any addons? | 00:17 |
| vrkhans | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop which has atheros wireless card on it. but for some reason my wireless internet on my laptop is not working | 00:17 |
| tj83 | <----finds that games are not really up-to-par in the linux world yet... but there are much more exciting and fun things to learn in here rather than windows... if games are your main use.... Linux is on its way to being for you... but not quite there yet. | 00:17 |
| Lunar_Lamp | !atheros | 00:17 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:17 |
| vrkhans | can any one help me, what should i do | 00:17 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, that's with no addons | 00:17 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, And where were you in WoW? | 00:17 |
| amrik2 | tj83: we'll always have nethack :) | 00:17 |
| vrkhans | any easy way out | 00:17 |
| riddlebox | can anyone get me an invite to #eeebuntu? | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tj83 Comments and opinions are best in offtopic channel.. But check out World of Padman for a cute FPS Linux game | 00:18 |
| tj83 | brb smoke time. | 00:18 |
| === no0tic is now known as maru0tic | ||
| legend2440 | Catslacks: you might have to download ubuntu cdrom iso and burn it drom that computer, let me guess no cd burner on that computer right? | 00:18 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, I was in SW, but I moved out into Elwen Forest, and still same fps | 00:18 |
| glitsj16 | vrkhans: look at the link Lunar_Lamp gave you | 00:18 |
| tj83 | Jack_sparrow your right... my apologies | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:18 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, Hrm, what video card are you running? | 00:18 |
| === bear_ is now known as WheelerLT | ||
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, onboard, intel 945 | 00:19 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, That's why. The Intel GMA945/50 is not meant for gaming. | 00:19 |
| vrkhans | glitsj16 any other way beside ndiswrapper | 00:19 |
| m_newton | Does anyone know how to get Google Talk that is in TERMINAL?? | 00:19 |
| JonathanElli1 | Hi. Sorry, my system disconnected. If you replied to my post about partitioning could you please post again. Thanks | 00:19 |
| glitsj16 | vrkhans: not that i know of no | 00:19 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, yeah, but I was expecting more, since I get about 400% more than that in windows | 00:20 |
| jdrake | m_newton: There is a pidgin project that does terminal I think | 00:20 |
| jdrake | Is there any packages available for firefox 3rc1? | 00:20 |
| Catslacks | legend2440: Actually, that's what I'm doing. It's sort of a last-ditch-effort | 00:20 |
| Arrick | Im getting [312.513768] kernel panic - not syncing: Attempter to kill init! | 00:20 |
| vrkhans | ok so thats the only option we have | 00:20 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, Still, I wouldn't expect much from the Intel GMA945 | 00:20 |
| vrkhans | let me try that | 00:20 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Yeah, vidcard not meant for gaming + OS not meant for gaming will kill it | 00:20 |
| Arrick | what does this error mean? | 00:20 |
| Odd-rationale | m_newton: try finch. it is basically. pidgin in terminal | 00:20 |
| vrkhans | then | 00:20 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, so I should stick dual-boot if I want to play | 00:21 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Since you are dual booting anyway, windows will be better for WoW till you can get a better vid card | 00:21 |
| WheelerLT | when I shutdown, the harddrives park, but the system continues to run. Does anyone know a fix for this? | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HackOfChris Yes | 00:21 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Anything else you plan to do in windows? | 00:21 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, lol, laptop, can't upgrade card, it's a DELL :( | 00:22 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, that's all, wow and the engineering stuff | 00:22 |
| matthew | anyone know how to get SDL working with anjuta? | 00:22 |
| McJester | where can I get a new source.list file? | 00:22 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Doh... lol. I know the feeling. You plan on sharing files between the OS's? | 00:22 |
| jrib | McJester: use System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 00:22 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, was thinking about doing 20/20/rest | 00:23 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Like music or anything? | 00:23 |
| titi13 | Hello ? | 00:23 |
| mardi_soir | hello | 00:23 |
| mardi_soir | i have a problem | 00:23 |
| McJester | jrib, that lets you edit the existing one, I need to restore the whole file back to default | 00:23 |
| mardi_soir | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4d03fcc4 this one | 00:23 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, yea, music and pictures...That reminds me, I need itunes for my iphone | 00:23 |
| mardi_soir | it is 8.04 | 00:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mardi_soir Please post a description of the problem when you post a link | 00:23 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, I wish they'd come out with a linux version of itunes | 00:24 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, They won't =/ | 00:24 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: The swap file should be left fairly small, 2 gb or so. And if sharing then you'll want a partition for that. | 00:24 |
| Odd-rationale | mardi_soir: try askin in #ubuntu-fr | 00:24 |
| vrkhans | how i can untar a file | 00:24 |
| mardi_soir | Jack_Sparrow, apt-get or aptitude fails | 00:24 |
| jrib | vrkhans: double click on it | 00:24 |
| matthew | mardi_soir: that links to a file in french... | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix | 00:24 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 00:24 |
| JonathanElli1 | Anyone with any thoughts on partitioning? I plan to put /home on a second hard drive but from various articles it seems there may be advantages in putting / and /boot on separate partitions. Any other opinions on what is good to split out? I have two 40GB hard drives plus a 6GB drive that I plan to use for swap. | 00:24 |
| Ahadiel | vrkhans, tar xzf file.tar I believe | 00:24 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, ok, so 20(windows)/20(ubuntu)/2(swap)/rest? | 00:24 |
| jrib | McJester: are you sure you can't delete the one you have and use that interface to recreate it? | 00:24 |
| Gh0st75 | anyone else getting unable to connect errors when trying to update packages, able to surf fine, just can't download form ubuntu archives | 00:25 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, i know, but they should | 00:25 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, LOL | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 Pulling that 6gig out will most likely increase your overall performance | 00:25 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Should work out just fine, specially if most your files are on the last partition for sharing. That is roughly what I had before using virtualbox instead | 00:25 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: Really? Why is that? | 00:25 |
| mardi_soir | Odd-rationale, matthew > no matter the langage .. see file | 00:25 |

| Odd-rationale | mardi_soir: i don't understand what you put in the pastebin says... | 00:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 It is probably an older slower drive and you would better off dumping it | 00:26 |
| matthew | mardi_soir, if french is your first language... | 00:26 |
| Ahadiel | amrik, Ubuntu second | 00:26 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, ok, do you think itunes would work good in Windows in Virtual Box? | 00:26 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, I can try it right now if you'd like. | 00:26 |
| matthew | mardi_soir, I bet that that channel can help you more | 00:27 |
| mardi_soir | matthew, french ubuntu channel users are currently talking about windows versus GNU/Linux .. so borring | 00:27 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, that would be kewl of ya | 00:27 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: Yes it is an older drive. I was only using it because someone told me that the reduced seek time would improve performance. | 00:27 |
| amrik | Ahadiel: so if i have ubuntu installed first, is it that i'm screwed? | 00:27 |
| matthew | mardi_soir, yes, but we can't read your file :( | 00:27 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: should work just fine | 00:27 |
| Odd-rationale | mardi_soir: give them the !offtopic factiod... ;) | 00:27 |
| mardi_soir | matthew, ok so thanks for your explain :) | 00:27 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: I mean reduced seek time because the drive is not seeking from data to swap and back again | 00:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 You are unlikely to use it much and it could in theory slow down your main drive | 00:27 |
| Ahadiel | amrik, Umm, You could probably install grub while inside Ubuntu, but I'm not an expert on the subject. | 00:27 |
| Wolf23 | hello | 00:28 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: OK thanks | 00:28 |
| amrik | Ahadiel: oh in that case sure then its trivial. thanks | 00:28 |
| mardi_soir | Odd-rationale, not at all .. i ll be patient thanks to you too | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 Just my opinion.. but I would not use it | 00:28 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: I also heard the most recent version can install inside windows and run as its own virtual machine. No idea how well it works thogh | 00:28 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: Most recent version of ubuntu that is | 00:28 |
| Wolf23 | help please! how can i burn VIDEO_TS folder on k3b? | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 If you are hitting swap then you should increase ram... | 00:28 |
| HackOfChris | CatCheeto, you talking about running ubuntu inside of windows? | 00:29 |
| Ahadiel | CatCheeto, Ubuntu is not really running insode of Windows. But rather it installs ubuntu to a file on Windows. | 00:29 |
| Ahadiel | CatCheeto, Therefore the user can remove it easily at will. | 00:29 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: I dont think I am hitting swap. I have 1GB of RAM which is the maximum my machine can take. I just put it in as belt and braces but I will take it out | 00:29 |
| CatCheeto | Ahadiel: So does it then use windows to act like a dual boot or a virtual machine? | 00:30 |
| Ahadiel | CatCheeto, it modifies the Windows bootloader to facilitate Ubuntu | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CatCheeto If you are talking wubi.... you shoud read the faq.. I wont use or recommend using it | 00:30 |
| CatCheeto | Ahh | 00:30 |
| Ahadiel | I tried it once, was very slow. Never again. | 00:30 |
| theFATMAN | will installing kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu 8.04 cause any problems? | 00:30 |
| Ahadiel | theFATMAN, no | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theFATMAN no | 00:30 |
| Jsn0327 | Everytime that I click on something in dolphin file explorer, i get the error "The desktop entry file /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop has an invalid menu entry "AddAsPodcast" Does anyone know how i can fix this? | 00:31 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, Downloading iTunes as we speak. | 00:31 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, kewl | 00:31 |
| theFATMAN | ahadiel, what additional maintenance will be needed after doing so? | 00:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theFATMAN Nothing | 00:31 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, If I have xp installed, shouldnt all of the software for vista run in XP atm? | 00:31 |
| CatCheeto | HackOfChris: So... apparently using wubi, the ubuntu on windows I was talking about is a bad idea, lol. As I pointed out, I am a newbie ;) | 00:31 |
| theFATMAN | Jack_Sparrow, you guys, rock!! peace | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theFATMAN You just select between kde and gnome under options where you login | 00:32 |
| JonathanElli1 | So apart from a separate partition for /home (in my case a separate drive) is there much advantage to separate partitions for / and /boot? | 00:32 |
| vxd2 | where can i see when the machine was rebooted? | 00:32 |
| stequbu | Hi guys. I want to keep some of my data (music) somewhere else than my home directory. Where would you put it? And I mean keeping it on the system partition not on some other. | 00:32 |
| McJester | fixed the sources.list file by copying the contents of the sources.list.distUpgrade file | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 / root and /home are the main two | 00:32 |
| Ahadiel | HackOfChris, It depends? Some Windows software uses Vista specific API | 00:32 |
| Odd-rationale | CatCheeto: using wubi is not a bad idea. it it just a rather new idea... it is not reccomended for pernament installs though... just trial... | 00:32 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: I understand why /home is a good idea. Did you say / root or /root? | 00:33 |
| HackOfChris | Ahadiel, well, they are requiring vista, so i guess I need install vista....That sucks | 00:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 / = root | 00:33 |
| glitsj16 | Jsn0327: did you look at the contents of that amarok_addaspodcast.desktop file ? if possible, pastebin it so we can take a look .. | 00:33 |
| jon_high9000 | anybody heard of when Firefox 3 will hit Ubuntu hardy? | 00:34 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: but there is a directory /root as well isnt there? | 00:34 |
| CatCheeto | Odd-rationale: Ahh, makes since. | 00:34 |
| * prower would dual boot vista just to be able to play some games but it's way too expensive :> | 00:34 | |
| Jsn0327 | ok | 00:34 |
| CatCheeto | jon_high9000: FF3Beta is on Hardy | 00:34 |

| McJester | E: openoffice.org: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 00:34 |

| matthew | anyone know how to get SDL working with anjuta? | 00:35 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: Any thoughts how big / should be? | 00:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 10 gig min is what I recommend | 00:35 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: What is the advantage to a separate / ? | 00:35 |
| jon_high9000 | CatCheeto: hi. i heard it can erase your language packs upon installation | 00:36 |
| Ap4ch3 | McJester, not that specific error but seems like openoffice has some issues with upgrades. i get 'partial upgrade' from update manager | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 It always makes / sep home is helpful when restoring or upgrading | 00:36 |
| tj83 | HackofChris... one thing i would like to point out is that a friend of mine... Used Gparted to whipe his HDD clean of all partitions and then vista would not isntall...... You will need to use some means of Fdisk to do this before installing vista... I reccomend the use of Hiren's boot CD... but any means of running fdisk will do. | 00:36 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: By they way, not doubting you, just trying to increase my understanding | 00:36 |
| McJester | Ap4ch3, so you don't know the fix Im assuming | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 Never be afraid to ask... | 00:37 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| glitsj16 | Jsn037: do you have a link to your paste ? Put it out here if u want .. | 00:37 |
| CatCheeto | jon_high9000: Not sure about the language packs. I know when I upgraded to Hardy and it had FF3Beta, it sacked most of my addon's due to them not being ready. So I can only imagine what else it might break | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 You ask two people the same question, you get three opinions | 00:37 |
| HackOfChris | tj83, ok kewl, if i dual vista, 20g wont work will it? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 let me get you a link for sep home | 00:37 |
| matthew | anyone know how to get SDL working with anjuta? | 00:37 |
| tj83 | Hackofchris... just a bit of something to look out for. and maybe gparted would work out fine for you maybe not... Um 20gb is a bit on the shy side for vista.... | 00:37 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: Its alright. I already know I need sep home. | 00:37 |
| Ap4ch3 | McJester, nope, someone here suggested -dist-upgrade but that wanted to un-install firefox3b | 00:37 |
| amrik | matthew: look at the sdl docs, IIRC it was pretty easy to pick up | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 00:38 |
| JonathanElli1 | Jack_Sparrow: That was always part of my plan | 00:38 |
| tj83 | HackofChris.... I would use atleast 35-40 | 00:38 |

| jon_high9000 | CatCheeto: Yeah, i hear ya there. I am probably going to take the safe route and wait for it. | 00:38 |
| matthew | amrik, I can't seem to get it to find the SDL library, I added it through the package interface thing, which i'm guessing is wrong... | 00:38 |
| indio | What's that name of Ubuntu media player ? | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fungusman devede or something like that | 00:38 |
| amrik | matthew: did you add the -dev package? | 00:38 |

| indio | What's the name of the default media player ? | 00:40 |
| matthew | amrik: the basic SDL functions aren't found, i'm guessing because its not linking against the SDL library | 00:40 |

| nagg | Its an general issue, not particular to any software. | 00:55 |
| glitsj16 | Jsn0327: thx for sharing | 00:55 |
| swansk | Every day now I have updates and every day I have to write down the update packages names and update them manually in the command line because the GUI update manager and GUI synaptic are completely unusable. | 00:55 |
| nagg | I try to unlock it as indicated. | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nagg We are having repo server issues today | 00:56 |
| swansk | How do I reinstall synaptic and update manager. They don't work. | 00:56 |
| cvd-pr | I need to write the UUID in the fstab so my vfat32 mount automatically? | 00:56 |
| bloodrock | ben also ubuntu should be auto mounting your ntfs drives | 00:56 |
| Ben | hey hey! mounting of ntfs partition successful! cheers dudes :D | 00:56 |
| steviebuns | nagg: select mirrors that are closer to you - go to Software Sources > "Download From" and select "Other" then click "Select Best Server" | 00:56 |
| swansk | When I update manually the updates work instantly. No server issues. | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cvd-pr uuid or the old /dev/sdx | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ben glad you got it. | 00:57 |
| nagg | !apt | 00:57 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 00:57 |
| m1r | hello all | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bloodrock He is running server not gui | 00:57 |
| nagg | almost | 00:57 |
| cvd-pr | and where i can find the uuid for my drive, its already mounted manually | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 00:57 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 00:57 |
| bloodrock | oh didn't see him type that lol | 00:57 |
| nagg | can you speak with him(?) Jack_Sparrow | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:57 |
| Ben | @bloodrock i dont think it auto mounts because one of my 3 disks has a smart error | 00:57 |
| cvd-pr | The drive dont mount until i double-click in it | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nagg Can I speak with whom? | 00:58 |
| nagg | the command to unlock the ud manager. | 00:58 |
| swansk | so I have an !apt problem? | 00:58 |
| speedemonV12 | hello everyone | 00:58 |
| swansk | aptitude works fine | 00:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix | 00:58 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 00:58 |
| nagg | thanks. | 00:58 |
| bloodrock | ben does the server run off a livecd too or it gotta be installed never looked at a plain server distro | 00:58 |
| speedemonV12 | anyone having problem on a macbook pro with wireless after the update the other day? | 00:58 |
| swansk | what will that do UBOTTU | 00:59 |
| Ben | it will be an installed and shoved in a cupboard proper server | 00:59 |
| cvd-pr | ? | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | swansk Ubottu is a bot | 00:59 |
| bdog | lawls | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bdog Be nice | 01:00 |
| swansk | But UBOTTU the bot might be on to something. My apt front-end gui is messed up | 01:00 |
| slinker | So weird, I downgraded my python a bit back, re-upgraded it recently, and the only fallout is my oo-DocManager dissapeared | 01:00 |
| bloodrock | ben darn too bad can't try it on a livecd be interesting | 01:00 |
| rodrego | hola | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Oy vey | 01:00 |

| CatCheeto | Jack_Sparrow: Is there a list for the ubottu? | 01:01 |
| Ben | bloodrock have you not tried mouting ntfs off of livecd? | 01:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CatCheeto Yes... Dont have it handy | 01:01 |
| speedemonV12 | anyone here on a macbook pro? | 01:01 |

| Ben | lol im an idiot. I tried to umount with the directory i was umounting as the current directory | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ringer cairo setup.. applets and add systray | 01:06 |
| Theleg0nd | Hello. May I ask a question as well?? | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 01:06 |
| Flannel | gharz: Without package management, it's difficult. Hope the package put all its files in /usr/local/ or in /opt/ and then delete them. | 01:06 |
| bloodrock | ben, lolno wonder it was busy | 01:06 |
| Starnestommy | Theleg0nd: just ask it. There's no need to ask for permission | 01:06 |

| Theleg0nd | i just got linux today | 01:07 |
| josh | I've only had it about 2 weeks | 01:08 |
| Theleg0nd | figured out a lot... just didn't know how i screwed up the mouse thing | 01:08 |
| Ben | jack_sparrow Lol i have only had ubuntu server for 1 day lol | 01:08 |
| Flannel | gharz: Yeah. And you got lucky it seems if there is one. It's safer to stick with stuff under package management. java is in the repos. | 01:08 |
| lap | someone know why xmms is no more available in the repos ? | 01:08 |
| bloodrock | Theleg0nd, try system>preferences>mouse | 01:08 |
| gharz | Flannel: now i'm facing a problem... i can't find the folder which it was installed | 01:09 |
| Theleg0nd | ok i will | 01:09 |
| steviebuns | lap: audacious is a good replacement | 01:09 |
| josh | OH! and .... how come my desktops don't show up in a cube after setting it up for that? | 01:09 |
| Starnestommy | lap: it's no longer maintained | 01:09 |
| * swansk is grumbling about update manager and synaptic failures. | 01:09 | |
| Flannel | gharz: Right. It probably isn't installed in one particular folder, most unix apps arent. Is it in /usr/local? (/usr/local/bin would have some of it) if not, is it in /opt/? | 01:09 |
| tj83 | josh... i had to install compiz-settings-manager... use apt or synaptic | 01:10 |
| * swansk has an update manager in an infinite loop | 01:10 | |
| ringer | Jack_Sparrow well i added systray and didnt like it, so i got rid of it, now ive lost all of my systray icons | 01:10 |
| Theleg0nd | I tried. but it says nothing about having additional buttons to help you click stuff | 01:10 |
| lap | xmms2 is the replacement ? | 01:10 |
| josh | hmmm ok tj83 | 01:10 |
| === gardar is now known as gardar`afk | ||
| josh | I'll try that | 01:10 |
| CatCheeto | Is there an easy way make a list of all programs I have installed with synaptic/apt-get? The idea is to create a fresh install but have a list of things I have installed in the past to make it easier to get back up and running | 01:10 |
| steviebuns | lap: xmms2 isn't quite the same but audacious is | 01:10 |
| Flannel | !cloning | CatCheeto | 01:10 |
| lap | ok | 01:10 |
| ubottu | CatCheeto: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 01:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | peternix YOu could eliminate swap partition and use a swap file on the encrypted partition.. I would think.. but that is beyond the scope of what I can help you setup | 01:37 |

| peternix | there are certain sites that claim that the swap is also encrypted | 01:44 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: you can either set the forwarding to forward or not forward | 01:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | peternix WOuld you not want to be really really sure. | 01:45 |
| m_newton | OK, is there a way to make it secure? | 01:45 |
| tj83 | jack_sparrow..... was that "ot" directed to me :) oops | 01:45 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: it depends on what you mean by "secure." By default, apache is mostly secure | 01:45 |
| m_newton | <Starnestommy> OK, is there a way to make it secure? You see i was running a port scanning program that told me that it was open and unsecure | 01:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tj83 It was a general ot.. but if you are feeling guilty.... | 01:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | peternix It isnt something I deal with... but if you can read any of it.. it isnt.. | 01:46 |

| m_newton | <Starnestommy> which port is for listening only, TCP or UDP and what does it mean to listen only, this is for port 80 (appachi webserver) | 01:58 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: apache is tcp | 01:58 |
| mungallo | exerdigit: something wrong with gnome then | 01:59 |
| matthew | m_newton: sry, I was away for a bit, but yes, what they mean when they say having an open port 80 id "insecure" is that its less secure than having all your ports locked down and closed, its a risk you sorta have to take with a web server | 01:59 |
| matthew | the port test for 80 doesn't really apply if you are hosting a webserver, because its geared to home users | 01:59 |
| boyam | Carbonflux, add a route statement with dev being eth0 or whatever your nic name is at the end for example route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 and route add -net 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0,2 dev eth0 | 01:59 |

| Arrick | thanks Starnestommy I was trying nick all | 02:02 |
| steven2 | confirmed | 02:02 |
| exerdigit | yea, i mean it literally locked up, nothing would open | 02:02 |
| m_newton | <Starnestommy>/<matthew> what does UDP do?? | 02:02 |
| mungallo | exerdigit: weird. What type of system? | 02:02 |
| steven2 | beginning overnight test | 02:02 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: it's used for sending packets without connecting to the server | 02:03 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: most programs use TCP | 02:03 |
| matthew | m_newton, UDP is for applications (I mean uses, not programs) that need lots of speed and don't care about data integrity | 02:03 |
| matthew | IE: streaming audio | 02:03 |
| exerdigit | mungallo, well, its a sony vaio vgn-cr120e with ubuntu 8.04 64-bit | 02:03 |
| mungallo | like a game pinging a server | 02:03 |
| tj83 | would anyone like to post it for me? http://debian.pastebin.com/m62ccea76 | 02:03 |
| mungallo | exerdigit: odd, my fj290 does ok | 02:04 |
| Leefmc | Lastly, no idea how this would work, but does ubuntu offer any way to install it from a usb on a empty machine? (or rather, without a cd drive) | 02:04 |
| m_newton | <Starnestommy>/<matthew> So it is best to go with JUST TCP, what about a program like AZUERUS | 02:04 |
| HiTo | Steve-cal no, but i think the fs is destroyed some way, as the drive was accidentaly (long story ;o added to a pool done with ZFS, however only a few data was transferred, so I think there is still most of the fles somewhere | 02:04 |
| vxd2 | i want to see the emails that are being sent out from this box, not those received. how? | 02:04 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: I think bittorrent is also tcp | 02:04 |
| Jafet | BitTorrent supports both layers for flexibility reasons only. | 02:04 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: but allowing udp and tcp is a good idea if you're unsure | 02:04 |
| exerdigit | yea, this was doing okay, until i plugged into someone elses broadband modem and the networking thing locked up my system and now this... not sure how to go about it... reinstall everything maybe? | 02:04 |
| mungallo | bittorent is tcp | 02:04 |
| HiTo | testdisk found some superblock too somewhere, but I don't know if they are for ext2 or ZFS (i am not sure if zfs uses some) | 02:04 |
| Jafet | Unless you notice something horribly wrong with either TCP or UDP it shouldn't matter at all. | 02:04 |
| matthew | m_newton: If you are streaming audio FROM your server, leave UDP enabled, if not, you can probably ditch it | 02:05 |
| Jafet | (Or unless someone is superseeding on only one protocol) | 02:05 |
| Steve-cal | HiTo: Did you do the obvious "fsck" on it? Probably a huge long shot, but... | 02:05 |
| Carbonflux | boyam, one more question if you have time :) ... my machine is at 192.168.0.11 should I use 192.168.0.0/24 for the -net ? | 02:05 |

| Arrick | ok, who has a working repo for 8.04? | 02:07 |

| Carbonflux | boyam, ok, guess I need to do more research, don't want to waste your time given my level of knowledge, thanks again :) | 02:07 |

| m_newton | <Starnestommy> so why make it TCP only, IS this rite (TCP/UDP = more packets sent = easier to hack = bad if you are running a biz) | 02:09 |
| Jafet | Nonsense, m_newton. | 02:09 |
| yordan | so...i boy myself a new pc the pc came whit vista i deleted it and i instaled a ubuntu 7.10 , but now i cant boot back to xp sp2 or 3, but i have 1 crapy windows full whit viruses , and i can boot whit him but not whit the original cds.. | 02:09 |
| mungallo | m_newton: any traffic can be sniffed TCP or UDP | 02:09 |
| m_newton | <Jafet> Sry noob, plz explain | 02:09 |
| Jafet | Assuming that your TCP stack and UDP driver are both stable and working, there should be nothing potentially catastrophic about leaving both on. | 02:10 |
| jo_ | WHAT THE DUCK | 02:10 |
| mungallo | any traffic at all can be watched. | 02:10 |

| TheMusicGuy | I need help with Rhythmbox; after installing a set of scripts to let audio play over bluetooth a2dp, Rythmbox gets stuck when I try to play over the regular speakers. | 02:10 |
| Leefmc | Question: While i do a system backup, are there any _beginner_ guides to ubuntu that you suggest i read while i wait? | 02:10 |
| mungallo | it's not a security issue. | 02:10 |
| m_newton | <mungallo, ya but wont more packets sent if TCP and UDP are enabled? | 02:10 |
| MrPiracy | how can i completely remove firefox64 and make firefox32 to be the default browser? | 02:10 |
| mungallo | yes | 02:10 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: For what? | 02:10 |
| matthew | m_newton: by default, most things use TCP, look at this for a better answer about TCP/UDP: http://www.skullbox.net/tcpudp.php | 02:10 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: only if the program itself wants to send tcp and udp | 02:10 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/ is a pretty good place to start | 02:11 |
| Jafet | m_newton, the network will transmit as many packets as is required to send data across to another computer. | 02:11 |
| mungallo | M_newton: it depends on the program | 02:11 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Into to ubuntu/linux, for beginners. I'm installing it for the first time. | 02:11 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: K, ty | 02:11 |
| Leefmc | intro* rather | 02:11 |
| yordan | .. | 02:11 |
| boyam | m_newton usage of tcp vs udp depends on what the app is doing.. it doesn't randomly use either | 02:11 |
| m_newton | ok, SRY gtg Dinner BRB in 30 min | 02:11 |
| MrPiracy | any equivalent in ubuntu for ipconfig command line? | 02:11 |

| Shpook | Theres a screen saver out there that works like that, but I can't remember the name of it. Sort of like windows live desktop or w/e it's called. | 02:16 |
| Leefmc | Question: Does Wubi allow for easy transition between ubuntu and windows? I forgot my college requires windows, so i'll have to be able to use it flawlessly, but at home i'd much rather use ubuntu. | 02:16 |
| the_alamo | are the updates available in the "hardy proposed" section of synaptic usually safe? | 02:16 |
| Flannel | the_alamo: no | 02:16 |
| jrib | the_alamo: not at all, they are for testing | 02:16 |

| ubottu | Factoid rdp not found | 02:17 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: wubi allows you to dualboot Ubuntu/windows without repartitioning, if you don't mind repartitioning, a proper dual boot is the way to go | 02:17 |
| yordan | okay | 02:17 |
| yordan | Flannel, just tell me a channel to go | 02:17 |
| yordan | or on quiery | 02:17 |
| Flannel | yordan: They're not awake? alright, #ubuntu-classroom | 02:17 |
| ari_stress | Flannel: is wubi somekind like vmnware? | 02:17 |
| mungallo | LeefMC: wubi will work just fine. Any time you need to use windows, just reboot and select it at the boot prompt. | 02:18 |
| the_alamo | Flannel and jrib: thanks for the heads up. are they for the next release or might they work their way into hardy heron at some point? | 02:18 |
| Flannel | ari_stress: no, wubi allows Ubuntu to live inside an NTFS partition | 02:18 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well i don't have a cd drive (its crapped in the laptop), is there anything wrong with using wubi like that? | 02:18 |
| TheMusicGuy | nevermind, I figured out how to fix it...I think... | 02:18 |
| Flannel | the_alamo: they'll work their way into hardy once they're tested | 02:18 |
| mungallo | ari_stress: no | 02:18 |

| Steve-cal | HiTo: Where are you running testdisk from? LiveCD or did you boot into a partition? | 02:20 |

| Flannel | tj83: They say that, read the second to the last paragraph of that page ;) | 02:22 |

In otherwords, do i follow the normall "install ubuntu with a usb stick" tutorial, and stop at the install stage to see if it works?

| Arrick | Flannel whats the cmd again to create the ext3 filesystem? isnt it mkfs ext3? | 02:36 |
| HiTo | the problem is that ZFS destroyed the ext2 fs on the drive i think | 02:36 |
| will01 | stequbu, im following the readme, and i cant seem to get the program to start | 02:36 |
| mungallo | mkfs.ext3 | 02:36 |
| Steve-cal | HiTo: Oh I see. How did the partitions get corrupted then? What happened? | 02:36 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: I must inquire; why not? | 02:36 |
| Flannel | Arrick: I've just always used parted. but yeah, mkfs.ext3 I believe | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HiTo You would need to find a channel where people know zfs | 02:36 |
| mungallo | or sudo gparted | 02:36 |
| mungallo | HiTo: were you running solaris as an image? | 02:37 |
| HiTo | Steve-cal in fact... drive was sdg1, and drives from sda to sdf were used in vmware, and on a reboot the letter changed... so when i created the pool i erased the backup | 02:37 |
| HiTo | mungallo no FreeBSD 7 | 02:37 |
| cvd-pr | is this is the command to take a screenshot? import pic.png ? | 02:37 |
| mungallo | Ah | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc I prefer a true partition for my ubuntu and not a simulated/ partition in a file on ntfs.. read the wubi faq and be sure you understand the difference in the installations | 02:37 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | where do the packages save to when you install new progz? and would i be able to copy them to my secondary hard drive to reinstall them when i reboot with my new primary hard drive? | 02:37 |
| Arrick | I would, but you know me Flannel, no gui | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mungallo Would that be gksudo gparted...? | 02:38 |
| Flannel | Arrick: parted, like I said. | 02:38 |
| mungallo | That works too | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KRaZy_WaKa /var/cache/apt/archives | 02:38 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Yea, The reason i'm choosing wubi for now is because i may need to hop back to my current win install. Not being able to reinstall windows, that is | 02:38 |
| mungallo | assuming it's installed in which case: sudo apt-get install gparted | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 02:38 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 02:38 |
| mungallo | gksudo if you're in gnome | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc I dual boot with no problems | 02:38 |
| mungallo | !sudo | 02:38 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 02:38 |
| stequbu | will01: I can't help you more. Except that there is a post on some forum maybe on hamachi.cc ? where everything is written including the command line | 02:39 |
| mungallo | !su | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mungallo gksudo for gnome gui apps kdesu for kde gui apps | 02:39 |
| eyemean | hi there everyone, anyone know how i can extract .001 extension files | 02:39 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Yea but doesn't creating partitions on an existing system cause problems? (Specially considering the size of my laptop hd) | 02:39 |
| fde | !root | mungallo | 02:39 |
| ubottu | mungallo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:39 |
| mungallo | Yes... I am quite aware of that. | 02:39 |
| mungallo | All of that. | 02:39 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Jack_Sparrow: would i be able to use them to reinstall the progz when i reinstall on my new primary HDD? | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc Resizing partitions is not a big deal, the feature is built into the ubuntu installer | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KRaZy_WaKa yes | 02:40 |
| tj83 | flannel.... how do i get it to show lines, its taking multiple lines and making then one long string. | 02:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 02:40 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 02:40 |
| m_newton | janet <mungallo> Wait, i just configured port forwarding correctly with azuereus and i semi works.. It is slow at uploading, but than againg that depends on speed of connection and how many ppl want it. I cant bench mark properly | 02:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Jack_Sparrow: thanx i decided against a direct disc copy, i prefer to reboot fresh, always did with windows and i think i will do the same with ubuntu | 02:40 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: So the ubuntu installer can handle the creation of partitions, while leaving my existing win install intact? | 02:40 |
| mungallo | mnewton: it takes time | 02:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc yes.. iut is the easiest way .. in my opinion | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | it | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptoncd | 02:41 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 02:41 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Jack_Sparrow: same machine just upgrading primary HDD from 20 GB to 40 GB | 02:41 |
| Steve-cal | m_newton: You might want to try going to some place like "canyouseeme.org" and testing to make sure your port is truly open. | 02:41 |
| mungallo | !gparted | 02:42 |
| ubottu | GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KRaZy_WaKa See also dd.. let me find you a link | 02:42 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: I think i'll try that then, the only reason i was going to use wubi was because i did not have a working cd drive, and needed my existing windows install intact | 02:42 |

| Leefmc | I've never even had experience with USB Boots, are there anything special required by the motherboard/bios? Will a 2yr old laptop most likely be able to handle USB Installing? | 02:44 |
| Jafet | Well, the computer has to be able to boot from a USB device... that's pretty much it. | 02:44 |
| mungallo | leefmc: likely, mine does, check bios under hdd | 02:44 |
| m_newton | <Steve-cal> yes it is open, but only on TCP... may result in slower uploads, i think, cant really benchmark | 02:44 |
| amenado | Leefmc-> thats fairly recent, so it should support usb booting | 02:44 |
| Steve-cal | jmworx: Have you checked your sound configuration carefully for volume levels and what device is set for input? | 02:44 |
| mungallo | make sure the disk is plugged in when you reboot | 02:44 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: I know hehe, were just discussing a few pro's con's. I'll be going through that now :) | 02:44 |
| Jafet | Also, you would have to prioritize USB boot with the BIOS. | 02:44 |
| alvin | Anyone here using a Matrox video card? | 02:45 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

| mungallo | I agree with Jack on this one mirta | 02:47 |
| Catslacks | Steve-cal: I had onboard LAN disabled in my BIOS. I can't keep it this way, but it should help me until I get wireless working (if ever) | 02:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KRaZy_WaKa No big deal... but thak you anyhow | 02:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thanks | 02:47 |
| mirta | Thanks guys... | 02:47 |

| mungallo | sorry mirta: wine specific issue. check their forums and irc channels | 02:48 |

| Catslacks | Steve-cal: So now that I have at least SOME internet connection do you have any ideas for the wireless? | 02:49 |
| Arrick | Someone needs to edit the ubuntu.com page, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ebox.html because this line is incorrect, there is no such animal. "If you want to install all the available modules, the ebox-all meta package will install all the modules." | 02:49 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | Jack_Sparrow: didn't figure that would be a good idea, just figured i would ask, it's all good ubuntu loves user friendliness, unlike Winblows | 03:29 |
| tester | mobiGeek, i need cp not tar | 03:29 |
| mobiGeek | tester: why? | 03:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tester tar cpf- -C/path/sourcefile .|tar xpf- -C/path/destination | 03:30 |
| mobiGeek | tester: are you trying to copy JUST the *.mp3 files or the entire directory tree? | 03:30 |
| tester | mobiGeek, to copy not zip up or tar and then untar later | 03:30 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | couldnt access some files on my NTFS volume when i changed out my primary drives and installed windoze temporarily | 03:30 |
| burningmunk | I got a similar error from Ubuntu, but this is what I got after my Debian install attempt | 03:30 |

| burningmunk | followed by | 03:30 |
| tester | theres thousands buried in directories | 03:31 |
| mobiGeek | tester: the command I used doesn't create a tar file....it uses tar to copy the files and in so doing preserves timestamps, permissions, symlinks, etc.... | 03:31 |
| seme | anyone know what could cause this kind of problem with samba and likewise-open | 03:31 |
| burningmunk | ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY(I/O error, err_mask=0x4) | 03:31 |
| Nutzebahn | Could anyone tell me how to have my computer turn off my drives when they are idle? | 03:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | so screw windoze... guess i'm gonna have to go through the lengthy process of copying my NTFS drive to another drive to get rid of the last rermnants of M$ crap | 03:31 |
| burningmunk | thats after the unusally long spash screens for both ubuntu and debian installs | 03:31 |
| mobiGeek | tester: and with tar you have FAR more control over what gets copied | 03:31 |
| tester | mobiGeek, correct but doesnt the DOT mean everything | 03:31 |
| tester | should i do tar cf - .mp3 | 03:31 |
| tester | should i do tar cf - *.mp3 | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | burningmunk remove quiet and splash from the command line | 03:32 |

| burningmunk | i have not | 03:33 |
| tester | i mean tar cannot stat | 03:33 |
| burningmunk | i must reinstall ubuntu entirely | 03:33 |

I must go into the Live CD and use the installer contained in there to install Ubuntu. Is this unusual? Could it be that I have to change my boot order to my SATA drive since my ATA may be going? (I have one of each, ATA being about 3 years older). | 03:39 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: sorry..in sys->prefs->power management | 03:40 |
| Nutzebahn | anirudh0: Power Management? Power management only gives me two options. | 03:40 |
| Nith | dpkg --reconfigure -a takes a long time -.- | 03:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | burningmunk mixing ata and sata have caused some issues | 03:40 |
| Nutzebahn | anirudh0: It doesn't say anything about drives. | 03:40 |
| tritium | Nith: depending on the state of thigns | 03:40 |
| tritium | things, even | 03:40 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: laptop or desktop? | 03:40 |
| Nith | tritium: failed upgrade from feisty to hardy (through gutsy) | 03:41 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: suspend=hard disks off and mem on | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tritium A little southern drawl on that.. | 03:41 |
| Nith | apt broken, hal wont load... you know, the usual | 03:41 |
| tritium | Nith: ouch | 03:41 |
| tritium | Jack_Sparrow: yeah ;) | 03:41 |
| burningmunk | @JAck Sparrow: Do you know anything about drive cloning then? Maybe eliminate my ATA drive entirely. I have a 120GB ATA and a 320GB SATA drive. If I could ghost my 120 onto my 320, and then remove the 120GB ATA drive from my PC, would that possibly help? | 03:41 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: found it? | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 03:41 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | burningmunk see also dd | 03:42 |
| burningmunk | Thank you. | 03:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | burningmunk: you could get a conversion cable too | 03:42 |
| seagan | can anyone give me a hint on how to set up a user for nessusd? seems it doesnt use your username for the os | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | burningmunk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 03:42 |
| burningmunk | Krazy_Waka: On average what do those cost? | 03:42 |
| Nith | arg, scrollkeeper segfaulted while dpkg reconfiguring -.- | 03:43 |
| Nutzebahn | anirudh0: I don't want to do that because the sound card driver will stop working. Help? | 03:43 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | burningmunk: dunno if that makes ATA read as SATA, but it could be worth a shot to not have to transfer | 03:43 |
| tester | mobiGeek, any luck? | 03:43 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: :)...dunno then | 03:43 |
| burningmunk | Thank you for the idea Krazy and Jack, you've been very helpful. If I have anymore questions I'll certainly be back. | 03:43 |
| Nutzebahn | :'( | 03:43 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: you cant have everything working and still reduce power consumption :) | 03:43 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | burningmunk: prolly around US $20 or less i would assume, i've seen mobo's and ATA HDD's that come with SATA conversion cables | 03:44 |
| Nutzebahn | anirudh0: I don't want it to go into standby mode, I just want it to turn off the drives, but leave the other parts on. | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KRaZy_WaKa He Bee Gone | 03:44 |
| seagan | ugh, sound drivers. I tried alsa and oss and still my x-fi isnt working on ubuntu anyone else having trouble with xfi? | 03:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | eh missed him | 03:44 |
| JonathanElli1 | HELP! I have just installed ubuntu 8.04 (clean install). Then I followed these steps from http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ (1) Make way for the new “home” sudo mv /home /old_home (2) Then I needed to install Partition Editor to check which partition my home directory was located on sudo apt-get install gparted (3) Then gparted wouldnt run because there was no home directory | 03:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah i noticed Jack but thankx anyways | 03:44 |
| Rayvis | I'm having a problem with Amarok lately. When I try to play a song, it starts to play for about half a second then Amarok freezes up. Anyone know how to fix this? I really like Amarok | 03:45 |
| Catslacks | Can someone help me get my wireless working? | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 run live to fix it... | 03:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | multi-tasking drinking some longnecks chatting on IRC and talking to my uncle who is drinking longnecks with me, got that message out a little slow | 03:45 |
| Nutzebahn | anirudh0: I don't want it to go into standby mode, I just want it to turn off the drives, but leave the other parts on. Can't I do that? | 03:45 |
| mobiGeek | tester: try: find . -name "*.mp3" | tar cf - -T - | (cd /the/other/dir && tar xf -) | 03:45 |
| anirudh0 | Rayvis: running amarok from the terminal will tell you what the problem is..then you or we ..an fix it | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonathanElli1 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 03:45 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: this may not be safe..but look up hdparm | 03:46 |
| tester | mobiGeek, will it copy right away or will i have to wait until its done finding them | 03:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KRaZy_WaKa goodnight.. and goodnight to all... | 03:47 |
| mobiGeek | it will start copying after a few secs | 03:47 |
| anirudh0 | Nutzebahn: look up the man page..specifically the -B flag | 03:47 |
| node357 | goodnight Jack_Sparrow | 03:47 |
| Rayvis | How would I run Amarok from Terminal? | 03:47 |
| mobiGeek | tester: it uses piping, so as soon as find has pumped out a few filenames, the first tar starts archiving them to stdout, then the second tar will start extracting them. | 03:47 |
| Nutzebahn | What? | 03:47 |
| DG19075 | Ravis: Just run the name as a command in termional | 03:47 |
| tester | no luck | 03:47 |
| mobiGeek | tester: in the second tar, you could make it: tar xvf - | 03:48 |
| anirudh0 | Rayvis: accessories->terminal...type amarok | 03:48 |
| Leefmc | Yea, bummer. My computer isn't USB-Bootable | 03:48 |
| mobiGeek | tester: then you'll see the filenames printed to STDERR as they get exttracted/written to the other directory | 03:48 |
| Rayvis | Thanks DG1 abd Anirudh, I didn't think it would be that simple. | 03:49 |
| Samuel_ | hola | 03:49 |
| bouma | is there a way to get rid of evolution, i find the large updates to be a waste of my very limited bandwidth and quota ?? | 03:49 |
| Samuel_ | hola | 03:49 |
| Flannel | bouma: just remove the package | 03:49 |
| adam7 | bouma, you can uninstall it using the package manager | 03:49 |
| adam7 | or sudo apt-get uninstall evolution | 03:49 |
| Samuel_ | hola | 03:49 |
| Leefmc | Question: This sounds sort of insane, but what are my options to install real ubuntu (not wubi) from within Windows? Note that i can't install from USB or CD (Oddly enough, Floppy is enabled but i have no floppydrive, and Network is an option) | 03:50 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows | 03:50 |
| bouma | sudo apt-get uninstall evolution | 03:50 |
| bouma | gives E: Invalid operation uninstall | 03:50 |
| Rayvis | I ran Amarok from terminal but it didn't say anything after I tried to play a song and it froze. | 03:50 |
| Leefmc | ah, i was in the smartboot heh :) | 03:50 |
| tritium | bouma: remove | 03:50 |
| Flannel | bouma: Or just use synaptic | 03:50 |
| adam7 | bouma, sorry, my mistake, it should be remove, not uninstall | 03:51 |
| tritium | bouma: purge also works, if you want config files deleted as well | 03:51 |
| tritium | bouma: err, remove --purge, rather | 03:51 |
| schnootop | since installing moblock every update or delete i do i get a E: moblock: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6 | 03:51 |
| schnootop | has anyone run into this ? | 03:51 |
| Flannel | tritium: purge will work in Hardy | 03:51 |
| mobiGeek | tester: that work? | 03:51 |
| tester | no | 03:51 |
| tritium | Flannel: ah, indeed | 03:52 |
| mobiGeek | tester: what didn't work? | 03:52 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: It mentions on that page "if you later want install it to a dedicated partition, you can do it." in regards to Wubi. Are they saying that from within my running ubuntu OS, i can install a _real_ ubuntu (not the singlefile wubi thing)? | 03:52 |
| bouma | ah thanks everyone, simple :) | 03:52 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | leefmc: doesnt that defeat the purpose of running ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| anirudh0 | # /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS | 03:52 |
| tester | find *.mp3 | cpio -pdumv /mnt/40gig this one is close that i found but its failing because it cant create the directory paths which i dont care to copy over any how | 03:52 |
| anirudh0 | /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS | 03:52 |
| Leefmc | KRaZy_WaKa: Why would it? I'm installing a real normal version of ubuntu | 03:53 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | leefmc: throw in a 20 or 40 GB HDD and dual boot it! :) | 03:53 |
| mobiGeek | tester: you saying you wanna copy all .mp3 to one directory?? if so, that's easy | 03:53 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: From Ubuntu, you can install Ubuntu with the "from within linux" instructions, but no, you can't migrate from wubi to a real install withouth going through an installer | 03:53 |
| tester | yes | 03:53 |
| bouma | tritium: um what would have happened if i let off the purge ? | 03:53 |
| bouma | tritium: i mean what just happened | 03:53 |
| Leefmc | KRaZy_WaKa: Heh, this has been an ongoing installation. Its a laptop with essentially no cd, and no usb installation option. And ofcourse, a laptop, not having floppy. | 03:53 |
| tritium | bouma: purge removes config files | 03:53 |
| kthakore | how do I view tasks in my calendar view in evolution | 03:54 |
| michael_buckbee | Can anyone recommend a Terminal client for Ubuntu similar to the Mac iTerm? | 03:54 |
| mobiGeek | find . -name "*.mp3" | xargs -i cp "{}" /the/other/dir | 03:54 |
| Flannel | bouma: You left the evolution config files. You can remove them through synaptic, find the packages and mark them for "complete removal" | 03:54 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: So my only real option to try a real ubuntu install, is UNetbootin? | 03:54 |
| anirudh0 | Flannel: or just delete ~/.evolution | 03:54 |
| bouma | Flannel: ok, thats a nice system. /me impressed | 03:54 |
| Flannel | anirudh0: no, the config files in question are the ones in /etc/, it will not remove anything in your homedir | 03:54 |
| Flannel | anirudh0: With or without the purge | 03:54 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | how do you do anything with it? no CD? that sucks, does it not have a cdrom or just no install option? | 03:55 |
| anirudh0 | how does one stop join/part messages in irssi? | 03:55 |
| Markov | Hi'a. I ran out of space on my /boot partition can I just delete the older kernels and related files? | 03:55 |
| mobiGeek | tester: throw in a "-v" to display progress: find . -name "*.mp3" | xargs -i cp -v "{}" /the/other/dir | 03:55 |
| anirudh0 | Markov: yes | 03:55 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: It seems so. | 03:55 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | anirudh0: as there is on any OS | 03:58 |
| harriseldon | gregbrady I find XP cludgy non-intuitive and a pain to use. I recently purchased a USB bluetooth adapter. On XP it wanted to replace the Windows bluetooth stack with one from Toshiba. On Linux it just worked. | 03:58 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: but if a piece of hardware does'nt work on xp,its manufacturer's will go out of business | 03:58 |
| DICO | EU NAO ENTENDI CARAI | 03:59 |
| mobiGeek | I want to run a CMS on my home machine. Simple stuff: good gallery, blog w/ comments, etc... Want something flexible yet mostly easy to admin. Recommendations? I know Postnuke and don't want to go back... | 03:59 |
| harriseldon | will00 vpn just encrypts the connection. You can use any method like NFS or CIFS (Samba) once the conneciton is established | 03:59 |
| anirudh0 | DICO: you must type "/join #ubuntu-br" | 03:59 |
| dhamma | how do i reinstall the kernel hardware drivers? | 03:59 |
| gregbrady | harriseldon: yup, understood. I just wish Linux would be computer centric instead of the current distro models. Make them for current hardware. | 03:59 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | anirud0: nah they adapt, hardware is designed for certain OS's, Windoze is known for compatibility issues | 04:00 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: And just to make absolutely positive, i can use UNetbootin with HD selected, to install Ubuntu without replacing/damaging the OS on that Harddrive, correct? | 04:00 |
| harriseldon | gregbrady it is a constant struggle between choice and standards. I agree. | 04:00 |
| usser | will00, nothing special is required if u have vpn running just share it using samba. The other computer should then see yours in a windows network | 04:00 |
| gregbrady | harriseldon: oh yeah.....and we are caught in between. | 04:00 |
| harriseldon | dhamma what happened that you need to do that? Is there a specific driver that you need? | 04:00 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | case in point: i am working on a friends XP computer which has a compatibility issue with a LiteOn DVD burner, and thus far haven't found the right drivers for it | 04:01 |
| Leefmc | Since it only gives you 2 options, USB & HD, i just want to make sure heh. The faq isn't explaining that part (that i've seen yet) | 04:01 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | was going to make him learn ubuntu bcuz i know it will work! but am trying my best to keep him in his comfort zone as he is not very computer literate, he can do the basic everybody stuff i.e. web browsing dload music, edit video with windows movie maker, etc. | 04:03 |
| gregbrady | harriseldon: sorry, just venting here a bit! | 04:03 |
| harriseldon | dhamma use pastebin to post the error. Perhaps someone can help to diagnose the problem without rebuilding the modules | 04:03 |
| swansk | Can someone explain why when I click on the "updates available" and choose "preferences" it does absolutely nothing? | 04:03 |
| swansk | Is anyone having GUI update issues? | 04:03 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i'm sure i'd spend a lot of time on here fixing things that he would mess up if i set him loose on ubuntu lol | 04:03 |
| gregbrady | swansk: huge. It just took out one of my laptops | 04:04 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: that is a very common scenario..i'm trying to make by mom leave xp...but she says she does'nt want to learn another office suite again..even though oofice is so similar... | 04:04 |
| Rayvis | Which is better overall, Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 04:04 |
| anirudh0 | Rayvis: ubuntu...though kubuntu guys work harder | 04:04 |
| usser | KRaZy_WaKa, that is no problem just remove his account from sudoers so he cant make system wide changes | 04:04 |
| dhamma | harriseldon: the error messages scrolled by too fast and i didn't know how to freeze the screen and write it down...during another reboot the error message went away, but i've been without audio since then...rebooting and following the audio troubleshooting guide did nothing...it's either reinstall the modules or clean install, which i'd rather avoid | 04:04 |
| poopsock | Rayvis lol. Do you like gnome or kde? | 04:04 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah trying to convince my gf as well lol... but some of her pogo games wont work with ubuntu lol | 04:04 |
| swansk | gregbrady: not that kind of update. I am talking about minor daily updates. | 04:04 |
| harriseldon | Rayvis do you prefer KDE or GNOME? | 04:04 |
| Flannel | Rayvis: its just personal preference. | 04:04 |
| gregbrady | swansk, so am I | 04:05 |
| poopsock | Rayvis if you don't know the difference, use ubuntu | 04:05 |
| harriseldon | dhamma what is the module for your audio driver? | 04:05 |
| poopsock | Rayvis if you want to be cool like me, use xubuntu | 04:05 |
| anirudh0 | harriseldon: kubuntu-kde4 can give ubuntu a run for its money though..4.1 is coming in a month | 04:05 |
| anirudh0 | poopsock: lol | 04:05 |
| J-a-k-e | hi all, does anyone know hor to go about editing /boot/grub so i can sort out my error 17 and error 13(windows issues? | 04:05 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | says online version is only for users running windows with IE, if the world was more in tune with ubuntu philosophy it'd be such a better place | 04:05 |
| swansk | gregbrady: really? I have to manually update everything from the command line. The gui update manager and synaptic doesn't work for me. | 04:05 |
| anirudh0 | poopsock: why stop at xubuntu..go fluxubuntu! | 04:06 |
| gregbrady | swansk: I can't even add new programs anymore! | 04:06 |
| poopsock | anirudh0 ah, now we are talking | 04:06 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: run IE under winw | 04:06 |
| Flannel | swansk: `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` will upgrade everything | 04:06 |
| harriseldon | dhamma did you try rmmod for the audio driver. Then in a separate terminal use tail -f /var/log/messages then modprobe the driver again and look in the other session for errors | 04:06 |
| dhamma | harriseldon: i'm not sure, but my card is cmedia cmi8738 | 04:06 |
| anirudh0 | *wine | 04:06 |
| poopsock | anirudh0 although i usually do use fluxbox on another, unmentionable, OS | 04:06 |
| tehdave | i'm having issues with my video card...Nvidia geforce 7600. I think the latest kernel upgrade broke the driver and I can't get it working again -_- | 04:06 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah i thought about that, but she's a woman lol you know how that goes... they are right you are wrong! lmao | 04:06 |
| anirudh0 | poopsock: there are even better things out there..damn small linnx for instance ;) | 04:06 |
| gregbrady | swansk: my system has slowley degraded to being almost useless. I have to completely wipe it out and reinstall tomorrow some time | 04:06 |
| swansk | Flannel: I have to do that even for minor updates? Will that fix the issues I have? | 04:07 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: so true! | 04:07 |
| Rayvis | Would Amarok run better on Kubuntu? It's started having troub;e running in Ubuntu | 04:07 |
| anirudh0 | Rayvis: no..the same..what trouble | 04:07 |
| Flannel | swansk: That'll grab all updates, all the time. The alternative (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade) will be identical except it won't grab new kernels. | 04:07 |
| poopsock | anirudh0 nah, linux from scratch ;) | 04:07 |
| poopsock | no cruft, no mess | 04:08 |
| anirudh0 | poopsock: no..linux from scratch!=small binaries | 04:08 |
| poopsock | Rayvis shouldn't make a difference | 04:08 |
| swansk | Flannel: great. I'd remember that. Now how do I get my gui update manager working again? | 04:08 |
| poopsock | anirudh0 come look at mine | 04:08 |
| harriseldon | anirudh0 did you see this explanation of Plasma by Sebastian Kügler? It almost makes me want to switch to KDE, especially the activities concept. http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=817 | 04:08 |
| anirudh0 | poopsock: the perfect thing to learn linux on though | 04:08 |
| anirudh0 | harriseldon: then you should :) | 04:08 |
| J-a-k-e | anybody? I Grub wont let me load ubuntu 8.04 it just gives me error 17 | 04:08 |
| Rayvis | Anirudh0: It freezes when I try to play a song. I ran from terminal but it didn't say anything special. After it freezes, I have to open System Monitor and end it that way to try to open it again. It worked fine a couple days ago though. | 04:08 |
| legend2440 | gregbrady: do you have the hardy-proposed repo enabled? that seems to be causing problems for some | 04:08 |
| Flannel | swansk: I have no idea. It depends on what's broken. If its something that broke with an upgrade, then upgrading again (once they fix the package) should fix it | 04:08 |
| poopsock | anirudh0 anyway, I'm a bad, bad man and use freebsd mostly :( | 04:09 |
| poopsock | i'm sorry | 04:09 |
| swansk | gregbrady: Your right, I can't add software either. | 04:09 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: let me check | 04:09 |
| anirudh0 | harriseldon: its only a gig on your hard disk after all...and kwin4 even has composite support..so no compiz needed | 04:09 |
| anirudh0 | poopsock: i pity you then | 04:09 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | although i think i may be able to turn her after a while, right now i am running a win XP install of questionable legality on her computer, and she does get on mine on occasion so i found out last night lol | 04:09 |
| swansk | legend2440: Maybe that is my problem. | 04:09 |
| reginatto | Rayvis: the only difference is that the libraries and pre requisites are mostly already instaled at kubuntu to support amarok | 04:09 |
| anirudh0 | :) | 04:09 |
| harriseldon | anirudh0 I will wait for 4.1 and try it | 04:09 |

| swansk | Flannel: HOw do I make sure it's off? | 04:10 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: and when I run dpkg, it just crashes my computer and takes about 20 minutes to reboot | 04:10 |
| harriseldon | dhamma this will force the removal of the module even if it is in use | 04:11 |

| adam7 | mohadib, how do you know that it's broken, other then it can't get a lease? | 04:11 |
| mohadib | adam7: thats broken in my book | 04:11 |
| anirudh0 | swansk: some repos get put in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as well..you might want to look there | 04:12 |
| mohadib | i can reboot to dapper and all works fine | 04:12 |

| SuN13 | mohadib: wireless? | 04:12 |
| harriseldon | dhamma can you use pastebin to show the output of lspci and lsmod? | 04:12 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | anirudh0: told her that her AVG free is being discontinued in 2 days and wont be able to install the new because i cant get SP2 on her computer, and she suggested buying windows, in the current US economic situation lol | 04:12 |
| mohadib | adam7: SuN13 its wired network | 04:12 |

| Someothername | Hello, thank your for a fascinating distribution. My interesting issue is that I installed Ubuntu onto my HP nc8430 with the Alternate CD. With the Live CD, the broadcom wireless was detected and almost all the quicklaunch buttons worked. After the install, neither the wireless nor any of the quicklaunch buttons worked. Any thoughts or direction? Thank you very much. | 04:14 |

| trask | anirudh0: here in denmark piracy rates are about 30% | 04:14 |
| tehdave | SuN13, have you gotten it to work properly since? | 04:14 |
| SuN13 | tehdave: are you using the new kernel restricted drivers? | 04:14 |
| swansk | sources.list.d has nothing in it | 04:15 |
| dfg59 | can anyone offer help trouble shooting high swap usage on a VPS? | 04:15 |
| anirudh0 | trask: :)..almost 100% in india ...and people say the situation is same in china as well | 04:15 |
| Jordan_U | KRaZy_WaKa, That is more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic or some other channel, but yes, some people buy windows in the U.S. and almost all computers come with windows ( legally ) installed | 04:15 |
| tehdave | SuN13, Tried installing them, rebooted, came back into a 600x400 resolution and it wouldn't detect my card T-T | 04:15 |

| legend2440 | swansk: how about hardy-proposed? | 04:16 |
| anirudh0 | trask: ubuntu has a niche in regional languages though..ms does'nt care about people on villages who dont know english..but ubuntu and fsf does | 04:16 |
| tehdave | SuN13, don't have the restricted drivers (from the Gui) active now | 04:16 |
| anirudh0 | Nith: ubiquity | 04:16 |
| tehdave | using the driver I got off Nvidia's site | 04:17 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: I see quite a few problems after the last update. I think it might have been a bit of a disaster for Ubuntu | 04:17 |
| tehdave | when I uninstalled it before and used the restricted driver, it came back to a ridiculously low-res X session | 04:17 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | my apologies | 04:17 |

| montamer | hi ; is firefox 3 release??? i just did a upgrade and it says firefox3 ; but no info on mozilla site........... | 04:19 |
| swansk | legend2440: everything in my system - admin won't start | 04:19 |
| tehdave | montamer: as far as I know, it's the beta version | 04:19 |
| anirudh0 | montamer: yes..rc1 was out long ago | 04:19 |
| Buhmanator | montamer, rc1 is out | 04:19 |
| SuN13 | techdave: try installing restricted modules for Linux version 2.6.24.17-generic | 04:19 |
| legend2440 | gregbrady: in terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:19 |
| anirudh0 | montamer: which repo are you using? | 04:19 |
| kenalex | hello | 04:19 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | RC1 is not official release though you have to click on the latest update link or something like that on mozilla site | 04:20 |
| tehdave | SuN13, so run the uninstall script for the nvidia driver, then install restricted? | 04:20 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | one moment let me check | 04:20 |
| kenalex | what tool can i use in ubuntu to join wmv video files | 04:20 |
| harriseldon | dhamma I do not notice anything strange. Can you do a dmesg | grep -i cmipci to see if there was some error raised for this module? | 04:20 |
| montamer | it just says firefox 3 no extention like rc1 or anything | 04:20 |
| Buhmanator | http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html | 04:20 |
| montamer | i will just give a link to screenshot | 04:20 |
| montamer | wait | 04:20 |
| anirudh0 | montamer: rc1==release candidate 1 | 04:20 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: and the lines will be? | 04:21 |
| anirudh0 | montamer: essentially identical to the final release...except for any glaring bugs that might come out | 04:21 |
| montamer | ohhh | 04:21 |
| SuN13 | techdave: what i did was use the synaptic package manager... I unistalled the previous restricted one...unistalled previous drivers ...then just install it from the package manager....just to a search for nvidia and it is listed | 04:21 |
| swansk | ledend2440: I can't even start the partition editor. Authorizations I could start. | 04:21 |
| Buhmanator | i use rc's they are usually really good | 04:21 |
| tehdave | SuN13, only thing is, not sure if it would be the nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new... | 04:21 |
| chelz | is there some central place i can go to modify the default program different filetypes open with instead of right clicking on each and going to Open With? | 04:21 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: I don't see any terms "hardy-proposed" | 04:21 |
| montamer | ye i guess it is rc1 | 04:22 |
| tehdave | in synaptic | 04:22 |
| montamer | i got so exited :) | 04:22 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | montamer: on mozilla website halfway down on right hand side, under what's new Firefox 3 Sneak Peek | 04:22 |
| tehdave | or are you saying just go through the restricted drivers manager? | 04:22 |
| SuN13 | techdave: doesnt matter if you install the correct restricted driver...it will show up in the hardware driver list | 04:22 |
| anirudh0 | chelz: yes../usr/share/applications/defaults.list | 04:22 |
| dhamma | harriseldon: dmesg | grep -i cmipc didn't return an error message | 04:22 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: saw the ff download record thing? | 04:22 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | speaking of RC1 has it hit the ubuntu repos yet? | 04:22 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: they really want to burn their servers :) | 04:23 |
| chelz | anirudh0: thanks! :D | 04:23 |
| legend2440 | gregbrady: ok well then something else messed it up can u open synaptic from terminal? gksu synaptic | 04:23 |
| Buhmanator | rc1 could become rc2 and so on, or it could turn into the final without a change larger than merely changing the internal name from rc1 to final | 04:23 |
| montamer | <KRaZy_WaKa> yup | 04:23 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: some reports on irc last night | 04:23 |
| harriseldon | dhamma are you using Hardy? | 04:23 |
| dhamma | harriseldon: yes | 04:23 |
| anirudh0 | KRaZy_WaKa: sorry...8 hrs ago | 04:23 |
| Someothername | I only started using FF3.0 today, and I have already had problems printing and viewing websites | 04:23 |
| Someothername | I don't think its that final | 04:24 |
| swansk | legend2440: updating with command line seems to work fine. It's some problem with GUI. It isn't server. | 04:24 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah got the report a couple days ago when RC 1 came out but i get nothing for update manager just the firefox 3 that comes with hardy which isd beta 5 | 04:24 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: Yup, same error | 04:24 |
| anirudh0 | Someothername: i've had mem usage going to 70% | 04:24 |
| Buhmanator | rc1, i've seen is actually rock solid, better that 2.0.0.14 by far | 04:24 |

| anirudh0 | Buhmanator: not when it prevents other apps from running..my comp was down to a crawl coz of ff | 04:25 |
| trask | how long time goes usually between releases of new firefox ubuntu builds? | 04:25 |
| swansk | legend2440: I just updated. The "update" notice went away. I can only update with the command line. The update notice functions don't work. And many of the admin functions like synaptic don't work. | 04:25 |
| anirudh0 | !ASK| J-a-k-e | 04:25 |

| harriseldon | dhamma have you check the mixer settings to make sure it is not muted? If you can confirm that, we can move onto other steps to diagnose the problem | 04:26 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: run dpkg....and when I try that, my machine crashes and takes 20-30 minutes to reboot | 04:26 |
| adam7 | i'll brb again | 04:26 |
| dhamma | harriseldon: yes, i already check that out...nothing is muted | 04:26 |

| harriseldon | dhamma can you try to play a sound file from the command line with the command aplay -v [sound file] | 04:28 |
| tritium | SeaPhor: no, he's correct | 04:28 |
| gregbrady | Someothername: yup, that's what I'm thinking. Time to give another distro a chance | 04:28 |
| chelz | seanw: tracert equivalents to traceroute -I | 04:28 |
| dhamma | harriseldon: ok...gimme a sec | 04:28 |

| chelz | zSoilworker: heh chances are they should google and RTFM more, but at least they're trying in their own way ;) | 04:29 |
| tritium | zSoilworker: to each their own. If they'd like to solve the problem, more power to them. | 04:29 |
| gregbrady | zSoilworker: yup, I agree. I fall into that catagory. | 04:29 |
| anirudh0 | godfreyhk_: strange..ping and tracepath give something...traceroute says unknown host | 04:29 |
| amenado | zSoilworker-> persistence is the key | 04:30 |
| anirudh0 | zSoilworker: on the contrary, ubuntu is exactly what is appropriate for them | 04:30 |

| adam7 | legend2440, gregbrady: be careful with that command | 04:33 |

| grendal_prime | this thing was working great all damn day..i installed some virtual box os stuff..and now none of my kernels modules are loading...x wont start..and nvidia driver wont load. before i start tearing things apart is anyone familar with this situation? | 04:33 |
| harriseldon | dhamma can you try aplay again but this time use pasuspender aplay [filename]? This will remove pulse audio as a potential problem | 04:33 |

| SeaPhor | tritium, chelz , godfreyhk , wait, i think i may have been taken wrong= meaning i said it wrong!, I am a n00b, i have played with things before and been taught this or that but now I am 100% Linux/Ubuntu,, I was not making a statement of correction, was just saying what i have used and how i have used, and yes, i type that slow | 04:37 |

| Pramod_Helios | ok thanks | 04:38 |

| adam7 | syntac, /disconnect ;) | 04:38 |
| tritium | SeaPhor: it's cool. The tracert is in the traceroute package, but it's not installed by default. What's available by default is traceroute6. | 04:38 |

| adam7 | syntac, ah :) | 04:39 |
| afabian | Does anyone know if there's a scoring RSS reader? Like you would score usenet news posts? This is driving me crazy. RSS can give you a firehose of information, and I haven't found a single program that gives you the tools to manage it properly. | 04:39 |
| anirudh0 | godfreyhk____: seems that was easier said than done..most servers seem to require a paid shell account | 04:39 |

| gregbrady | legend2440: well, I have to at some point, right? | 04:39 |
| adam7 | J-a-k-e, Windows can't see the ext3 partitions | 04:40 |
| afabian | Honestly, I think I'm going to have to get an rss to email converter, and then actually use a newsreader on them. | 04:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol off i venture into the abyss that is M$ lol i'll stay here though for moral support :D | 04:40 |
| legend2440 | gregbrady: lol yes good luck | 04:40 |
| SeaPhor | tritium, thats what i'm used to doing | 04:40 |
| tritium | SeaPhor: that's correct | 04:40 |

| anirudh0 | joshual: look up the kubuntu page for details...package name is kde4-core | 04:45 |
| harriseldon | dhamma corrupted modules like you suggest would mean bad hard drive, that is why it seems unlikely. I would try the live cd first to rule out a general sound card issue | 04:45 |
| chipbuddy | i have 7.1, windows xp and grub all installed and working perfectly. can i use the 8.04 cd to replace 7.1 and not mess up grub or windows? i've had bad experiences with letting the 8.04 cd install grub | 04:45 |

| harriseldon | Ububegn then type bg to put gedit in the background | 04:46 |

| dhamma | harriseldon: good idea...and if live cd plays sound then??? my harddrive (seagate) is fairly new | 04:46 |
| SuN13 | smehmood: which nvidia card do you have | 04:46 |
| smehmood | SuN13: should there be a "glx" module? lsmod has an "nvidia" module and a "agpgart" module that says "nvidia, intel_agp" next do it | 04:46 |
| smehmood | SuN13: Geforce 8400 | 04:46 |

| RoshanK | anirudh0: do you have experience with conky? | 04:47 |
| tritium | kelvin911: I'd google it. | 04:47 |
| SuN13 | smehmood: you would use the glx new driver, but which version of the restricted driver do you have installed? | 04:47 |
| anirudh0 | RoshanK: conky and compiz dont mix | 04:47 |
| harriseldon | Ububegin you did ctrl-z first from the terminal to suspend the current command? | 04:47 |
| Ububegin | harriseldon: no, just type *bg* | 04:47 |

| anirudh0 | RoshanK: compiz screenlets may be a better option | 04:48 |
| kelvin911 | tritium: canon site doesnt have linux driveras | 04:48 |
| smehmood | SuN13: 169.12, I installed it using EnvyNG. I've also tried just by using the restricted drivers manager. neither has worked. | 04:48 |
| anirudh0 | J-a-k-e: no..on pastebin.com | 04:48 |
| RoshanK | anirudh0: really? i thought a bunch of ppl got it working? is it the flickering that you're talking about? well right now i'm trying to use conky but have no clue on it. how do i start? sudo conky? | 04:48 |
| harriseldon | dhamma you could try copying the module from the live cd to your other system just to verify your hunch (backup the module first of course) | 04:48 |
| RoshanK | anirudh0: sorry about all the questions | 04:48 |
| tritium | kelvin911: you're looking for ppd files, remember | 04:48 |
| kelvin911 | tritium: looking | 04:48 |
| anirudh0 | RoshanK: yes..you have to use double buffering to get past the flickering..but there are still some issues under compiz | 04:49 |

| smehmood | SuN13: although Restricted Devices manager says "In use" if i start up nvidia-settings, it tells me i don't seem to be using the driver. It tells me to run nvidia-xconfig, and restart X. After doing that, it still says i'm not using the driver. | 04:49 |

I logged onto ubuntu, added FF3, changed some settings, learned some things, etc. However, when i shut down moments ago all seemed fine. I saw no big errors, or anything, although it did ask me to make sure disk trays were closed and hit enter, i did that, and all was well | 05:28 |

| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Perhaps my C:\ drive has the UNetBootin on it, and thus it rewrites ubuntu whenever i run it? Honestly i have no idea if UNetBootin installed a 2nd partition, because i don't know how to properly run ubuntu, so figuring that out is hard. Is there some added step i missed during this whole ubuntu process? | 05:34 |
| usser | Zikiti, hm... when u try to connect to one of those, immediately after it fails run dmesg and pastebin its output | 05:34 |
| Zikiti | So does anyone have an idea? I can see the wireless netwoks but cannot connect to them, also, I don't seem to be able to connect to one that I'm creating | 05:34 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: when you rebooted, was your Ubuntu distro not listed in the boot menu? You shouldn't be choosing UnetBootin again | 05:34 |
| Zikiti | ok | 05:34 |
| usser | karllenz, or doom3 -h | 05:34 |

| viumden | usser,http://paste.ubuntu.com/15719/ | 05:35 |
| Kaemon12433 | most freindly chat room i've been in so far | 05:35 |
| karllenz | usser: man doom3 in comand line | 05:35 |

| Kaemon12433 | besides the ZSNES one | 05:35 |
| usser | karllenz, yep | 05:35 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | hanbg out kick back drink a longneck i am lol | 05:35 |
| Kaemon12433 | well i dont drink | 05:35 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Btw thanks for the help, i hope in time i can contribute back. | 05:35 |
| Kaemon12433 | i'm only 14 | 05:35 |
| karllenz | usser: ok the lat two did the same thing and i gotta log out to stop it everytime | 05:35 |
| swedekid | ok i just installed virtual box and this is a pretty stupid question but where can i access it? | 05:36 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol ok grab a juicebox or CapriSun | 05:36 |
| Kaemon12433 | umm | 05:36 |
| alan_m | Kaemon12433, all i do ask is we dont start general discussion in here..dont wanna confuse all the lovely folks in here trying to get help :) | 05:36 |
| Kaemon12433 | ok! | 05:36 |
| hippie | (we could be confused more?) | 05:36 |
| karllenz | usser: man 7 undocumented | 05:36 |
| TeslaTony | #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 05:36 |
| alan_m | haha, point taken hippie :D | 05:36 |
| Kaemon12433 | ohhh | 05:36 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: hmmm...i don't see what boot manager gets installed by this thing. | 05:36 |
| alan_m | Kaemon12433, yeah #ubuntu-offtopic or..... | 05:37 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: once you've run the installer for ubuntu, you no longer want to run UNetbootin. You want to reboot and tell your machine to boot into Ubuntu. | 05:37 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | amen on that alan_m i'm guilty of straying off-topic on occasion but it spawns from on-topic discussion generally but i'm done now lol | 05:37 |
| swedekid | does no one know? | 05:37 |
| alan_m | lol ;D | 05:37 |
| mobiGeek | I just am not sure which boot mgr is being used that you need to tell it to boot from the other partition (the Ubuntu one) | 05:37 |

| usser | viumden, try removing lines from 41 to 52, back it up first | 05:37 |
| usser | karllenz, i dunno google doom3 comand line linux | 05:38 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Maybe uninstalling the UNetBootin is a requirement. "Removal is only required if you used the "Hard Drive" installation mode;" | 05:38 |
| karllenz | usser: ok | 05:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | i'm trying to get the other peoples in this house to install ubuntu | 05:38 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ under removal instructions | 05:38 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Am i reading that right? | 05:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | hey i have a prob | 05:39 |
| alan_m | Kaemon12433, yes? | 05:39 |
| Kaemon12433 | ubuntu does'nt save certain setting when i shut it down | 05:39 |
| Kaemon12433 | i have it on save session | 05:39 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol good luck Kaemon, been trying to get everyone i know to switch but they are too dead set in their ways | 05:39 |
| mobiGeek | leefmc: yes, likely. but it doesn't tell us how to get to the installed distro after you remove it. | 05:39 |
| Kaemon12433 | lol waka | 05:39 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Hopefully it will set ubuntu as the default. | 05:40 |

| usser | viumden, the log file seems fine, try to strip your xorg.conf of all the unneeded options | 05:40 |
| usser | viumden, remove lines 41 to 52 and restart xorg | 05:41 |
| Kaemon12433 | those config files kill me | 05:41 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | what is the ubuntu offtopic channel? wonder whats going on in there never been there myself | 05:41 |

| zSoilworker | All the hip kids are doing it. | 05:41 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: good luck with it...i gotta beddies...big mtgs in the AM. nights. | 05:42 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Stupid question i'm sure, but how do i run a bin file? I downloaded the UNetBootin installer (which removes it aswell i believe) and its some "bin" | 05:42 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: K, me too.. heh | 05:42 |
| usser | viumden, yes i've seen those... log seems fine no errors, read what i wrote above | 05:42 |
| micoh | KRaZy_WaKa: i just moved my office over to ubuntu hardy.. so far no problems.. openoffice works just like ms office so i guess they adjusted pretty quick | 05:42 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Thanks for the help :) | 05:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol zSoilworker are they your Ubuntu missionary tactics? | 05:42 |
| mobiGeek | leefmc: bin? i'm not sure. | 05:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | micoh: hardest part is convincing them to try it, after you get ppl to try it they're hooked | 05:43 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ click download | 05:43 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: linux | 05:43 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: the page says that if you boot into Windows you'll be prompted to remove UNetBootin | 05:43 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Oh i was thinking it was to be done from linux | 05:43 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: yes, .bin is a "binary" that can only be run on linux, not windows. | 05:43 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: I'll try that then | 05:43 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Yes but how do you run them :) | 05:44 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: It tells me i need to assign an application to run it | 05:44 |
| hacim | sooo... i put in my login/password, and then just brown screen, nothing | 05:44 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: you don't want to downlaod the Linux version of unetbootin, you want to download the windows one as you are running unetbootin from an existing Windows system. | 05:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | micoh: Congrats on that... shouldnt be hard to convert any business especially office environments ubuntu comes with complete productivity out of the box, and saves the company money | 05:45 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Ok, thanks then :) | 05:45 |
| Jalathan | Q: Has anyone had issues with flashplugin-nonfree and sound under Hardy? | 05:46 |

| usser | :) | 05:56 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: heh yeah i guess i could | 05:56 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: assuming a VPN connection is possible, how do you envision getting access to the files? VPN just gives you a secure tunnel, but it doesn't say how you get the files to your device. | 05:57 |
| nickrud | note, you only deserve one, you gotta provide your own :) | 05:57 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lmfao that thing is ingenius, gott give the creator 10 points for comc relief | 05:57 |

| akatsuki | i cant even go root in ubuntu! wth | 05:57 |
| akatsuki | how i go root using ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| Starnestommy | akatsuki: sudo | 05:58 |
| akatsuki | its not su? | 05:58 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: would set up an OSS music streaming server on local net | 05:58 |
| Lokii- | sudo -s | 05:58 |
| akatsuki | sudo? | 05:58 |
| Ahadiel_ | akatsuki, sudo su | 05:58 |
| Starnestommy | !sudo | 05:58 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 05:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | !mythbuntu | sim sim salabim | 05:58 |
| ubottu | sim sim salabim: Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information | 05:58 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: according to the writeup, it seems that you have to have the files on your local SD card (or local memory)....or you can stream a selected number of streaming radio stations. | 05:58 |
| Lokii- | sudo -s | enter pass | now you have root term | 05:58 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: I can't see anything indicating that it can accept streams from an arbitrary server | 05:58 |
| akatsuki | thanks | 05:59 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | haha i like it johnny quest and ubottu an entertaining combination | 05:59 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: it does say "stream and store from a website", but I suspect they really mean "download from a website" | 05:59 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: can "add station" and put in arbitrary URL to streaming music server | 05:59 |
| akatsuki | does anyone try before ubunto on the ps3?? | 05:59 |
| akatsuki | how it runs? | 05:59 |
| akatsuki | smooth? | 05:59 |
| akatsuki | i may do it later | 05:59 |
| Lokii- | nope | 05:59 |
| Lokii- | never tried | 06:00 |
| akatsuki | i will try it later | 06:00 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: but you still need to let your provider's BIS (BlackBerry Internet Server) get access to your streams. Because the BB device doesn't *really* do network access. It uses a BES or a BIS to get the data and then it uses RIM.NET (which is a different type of network) to transfer the data to your device. | 06:01 |
| joshual | hey folks, how do I setup ubuntu to play more than one audio at the same time? | 06:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | akatsuki: i've looked into it, Sony was actually doing work with YDL Yellow Dog Linux, that was supposed to come with the PS3 | 06:01 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: doesnt bb now have tcp/ip stack ? or is that just a hack on top of the rest ? | 06:02 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yes nickrud i know he left this time lol | 06:02 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: so I'd say put your files under Apache and expose it to the 'net. Then you should be able to stream those. | 06:02 |
| karllenz | ok now my screen is all messed up i type displayconfig-gtk set my settings to my lcd model and the resolution and refresh rate i want hit ok log out and in and my resolution doesnt change | 06:02 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: the BB device does not really have a TCP stack...at least not the way you and I would think of it. | 06:03 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: knowing all of what you say... what is the best handheld mobile computing platform that is also a phone ? | 06:03 |
| karllenz | the graphics card tab it says none mm | 06:03 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: The BB device fires TCP requests to the BIS/BES which in turn uses the MDS (Mobile Data Service, a sub-server to the BIS/BES) to actually fetch the data and hand it back to BIS/BES for communicating to the BB. | 06:04 |
| usser | braniff, eeepc | 06:04 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: the blackberry! :-) | 06:04 |
| viumden | and I also have some troubles in installing the adobe air application twhirl.everything goes well when I in my first time installing it,but one day i just concidentally delete the /opt directory by fault,so all the files about adobe air and its application lost,but after i reinstall the adobe air I foud the twhirl application just can't be installed.The installer told me that the twhirl install file which I download from the offical site is damaged.I had | 06:05 |
| viumden | re-download the files many times but the error persists,any one has an idea to solve this problem? | 06:05 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: it all depends on your requirements. I love the BB because I can do network stuff with it (though there are limitations if you are going through a BIS, the BES has much more functionality). | 06:05 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: and the BB is an extremely secure device, enforcing secure communications between the BB and the BIS/BES. So anyone sniffing the radio signal gets nothing but noise. That is not the case with Palm, CE, Symbian, etc... | 06:06 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: so you need to determine what "best handheld computing platform" means. | 06:06 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: i have liked my blackberry curve so far but i would still like to vpn somehow | 06:07 |
| foureyes779 | can anyone tell me how to boot my Ubuntu install from the CD ? | 06:07 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: even though i can stream music using apache like you said | 06:07 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: the BB is actually a very low-powered device. Palm/CE/etc... are typically much more powerful, more memory, and closer to a "computer"...but that doesn't necessarily make them "better". | 06:07 |
| Zikiti | usser, one more time... ican't get net access right now but in my message log all I see is this: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready | 06:07 |
| Zikiti | f | 06:07 |
| foureyes779 | I installed it on my computer, then installed another OS (FreeBSD), and now cant boot into Ubuntu. I would rather have lilo if at all possible | 06:08 |
| nickrud | foureyes779 why do you need to boot it from the cd? (what you're trying to accomplish makes a difference here, probably) | 06:08 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: i'd love a 3G linux phone | 06:08 |
| nickrud | foureyes779 boot up from bsd, and add ubuntu to lilo under bsd maybe? | 06:08 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: but what is it you are trying to get via "vpn" ? establishing a VPN doesn't give you anything....you still need to access services. What services are you after? | 06:08 |
| foureyes779 | nickrud: freebsd uses soething called boot0 | 06:09 |
| foureyes779 | I would rather use lilo though, and want to boot into Ubuntu. can the install CD be used to boot an installed system ? | 06:09 |
| Zikiti | usser, as I was saying... "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" is the message I see | 06:09 |
| usser | Zikiti, thats not enough...arrg. ok do sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers | 06:09 |
| usser | Zikiti, then head on to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download | 06:10 |
| clownzz | @L!nK | 06:10 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: i think a vpn would generally be more secure than exposing my home network to "the internet" - i have zero internet facing services now. If i exposed apache then i would orders of magnitude more vulnerable to hackers | 06:10 |
| frenzy42 | sudo apt-get install life | 06:10 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Quick Q, which Ubuntu should i be installing for what i described last time, Alternate or Desktop? | 06:10 |
| usser | Zikiti, and follow the instructions on that site | 06:10 |
| Zikiti | Well thank you for the link but I'll fight witht his anther time... I don't have "Internet" access right now | 06:11 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: desktop | 06:11 |
| nickrud | foureyes779 hm. well, an option to get things up and running under grub is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , and http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2005-02/0470.html wil help with lilo (I'd recomend grub, even though I wrote the lilo thing) | 06:11 |
| Zikiti | tahnks anyway | 06:11 |
| usser | Zikiti, oh ok no problem | 06:11 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: yes, but what services do you want your BB accessing? | 06:11 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Bummer, thats what i did do. I still have no ubuntu option for booting. | 06:11 |
| Spaise | sup, im confussed on summin, all of a sudden i cant use root console, add/remove, synaptics, or anything to do with administration, any ideas someone? | 06:11 |
| Yachaziel | Where is the xorg.conf file? | 06:11 |
| foureyes779 | nickrud: tnx | 06:12 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Any quick thoughts? Otherwise i'll just have to save it for another day i guess :) | 06:12 |
| co | ]l-0kl- | 06:12 |
| Yachaziel | Spaise: Using the right password? | 06:12 |
| Spaise | yes | 06:12 |
| Spaise | wont even open console | 06:12 |
| Spaise | *cant | 06:12 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: you went to bed :-) so there's something about configuring the boot manager to allow booting the second partition. I just don't know enough about boot managers to help. | 06:12 |
| Yachaziel | Spaise: Is the computer plugged in? =P (Just kidding!) | 06:12 |
| Spaise | haha | 06:12 |
| Spaise | :D | 06:12 |
| legend2440 | Yachaziel: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:12 |
| Yachaziel | legend2440: Thanks! | 06:12 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: streaming music mainly though there are text documents i need sometimes away from home | 06:13 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Infact, i am not even sure if ubuntu was even installed on a separate partition. I have no idea if windows would see this 2nd partition in its manager or not. | 06:13 |
| Zikiti | One comment though, on gutsy I didn't have any problems whatsoever... I'm tired of "Upgrading" and getting f*kd. Why can't something that worked before continue to work properly without expert knowledge? | 06:13 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Well that was the intention.. but its killing me haha | 06:13 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: one idea woudl be to let the install clobber your entire Windows OS. That is, let Ubuntu install onto the entire drive. | 06:13 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Yea but i need the duel | 06:13 |
| trance_techau | hi all, about to buy a new system for my primary system. was wondering which graphics card brand is better. i'm currently running ati and know that nvidia were typically better. but recently i hear ati has gone open source or something. i don't play games just basic user | 06:13 |
| Spaise | meh anyone? | 06:13 |
| legend2440 | swansk: still here? | 06:14 |
| usser | Zikiti, see the thing is gutsy used proprietary ipw3945 driver which was pretty good but it was closed hardy decided that opensource iwl3945 was ready when apparently it wasnt | 06:14 |
| achandrashekar | helo. I am trying to do an install over pxe. and copied the contents of an 8.04 cd into the /var/www/ubuntu8.04 directory. However after pxe booting a system and pointing the pxe client to the address and path /ubuntu8.04/ it complains that it cannot continue. Any ideas? | 06:14 |
| deadsouls | is there a utility to set macros in gnome? | 06:14 |
| achandrashekar | i have already installed apache as well | 06:14 |
| usser | Zikiti, pissed me off to but it was still a right decision u'll get better support for OSS driver on the long run | 06:14 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: so you are talking about exposing web and files? The BB isn't really all that good at "general computing". It is fantastic email and PIM, and some limited custom applications. | 06:14 |
| Zikiti | I hope so | 06:15 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: well, you are in a bit of a pickle. not sure what to say. | 06:15 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Thanks for trying :) | 06:15 |
| nickrud | trance_techau then any 1 or 2 year old card ati or nvidia card will do, really. nvidia is claimed to have the best right now, and ati has opened up some. Still waiting on the bennies, imho | 06:15 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: i missed the earlier part | 06:15 |
| arrrghhh | so i'm not at home right now, but my roomie said my computer is no longer working... i can ssh to it and reboot it, but x11vnc doesn't ever work. i looked at top and kdm is taking 100% of the processor constantly, and my roomie said the monitor shows nothing - like it's off. what happened?!? | 06:16 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: your machine has no CD? | 06:16 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: Yea | 06:16 |
| braniff | mobiGeek: maybe i should look at some other platform? i need more power heh - something that runs linux | 06:16 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: In theory, it all installed fine.. im just confused how to get the duel booting working. | 06:16 |
| Spaise | sup, im confussed on summin, all of a sudden i cant use root console, add/remove, synaptics, or anything to do with administration, any ideas someone? | 06:16 |
| mobiGeek | braniff: the BB is great if you have a BES. It is quite limited to the native apps when you are stuck with BIS. | 06:17 |
| obf213 | anybody here using a laptop with external monitor get ubuntu to give an extended desktop | 06:17 |
| trance_techau | nickrud> yeah i have x600 atm. seems a bit jerky with compiz enabled | 06:17 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh I'd try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 06:17 |
| karllen1 | ok i got my screen backtogether but had to reconfig x...now im unable to start extra graphics | 06:17 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: yep. you might try #linux...they tend to have more die-hard installer dudes hanging out there. | 06:17 |
| karllen1 | my card drivers are enabled | 06:17 |
| Leefmc | mobiGeek: K thx | 06:17 |
| Jalathan | ussr, thanks! i googled for it, and found it in a debian repo. | 06:17 |
| joshual | hey folks, how do I setup ubuntu to play more than one audio at the same time? | 06:18 |
| mobiGeek | Leefmc: though you are trying to do somethign few die-hards even want to do: keep a windows dual-bootable | 06:18 |
| SomeNick | hi | 06:18 |
| usser | Jalathan, what frostwire? | 06:18 |
| Yachaziel | How do I view my current video drivers? | 06:18 |
| SomeNick | i wanted to report that releases.ubuntu.com is offline suddenly... how comes? | 06:18 |
| nickrud | trance_techau yeah, it's useless on my x1100 also. I leave compiz alone on my laptop | 06:18 |
| braniff | yeah - windows is useless | 06:18 |
| Yachaziel | braniff: You can say that again! | 06:18 |
| Leefmc | Question: Anyone else know? I installed Ubuntu via UNetBootin on a 2nd partition. Went into ubuntu and all was fine, then back into windows to remove UNetBootin as directed. Now however, i can't find/gain access to Ubuntu | 06:18 |
| trance_techau | yep so thats why i'm getting a new card this round of upgrades | 06:19 |
| Frogzoo | Yachaziel: glxinfo | 06:19 |
| trance_techau | hence my question | 06:19 |
| Jalathan | twas talking about the flash audio issue... <.<;; | 06:19 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, i don't understand what happened... but i restarted the kdm like you said, and it's no longer taking 100% cpu but i still can't get into the machine. | 06:19 |
| nickrud | trance_techau I've heard some talk about good xorg.conf options for ati cards, but never looked for them | 06:19 |
| braniff | Leefmc: installing grub might fix your problems | 06:19 |
| usser | Jalathan, oh, right | 06:19 |
| Jalathan | np | 06:19 |
| Yachaziel | Thanks Frogzoo | 06:19 |
| Leefmc | braniff: Google "grub"? | 06:19 |
| kamiro87 | Hello, I'm having some problems with visualization using qemu and kvm-amd. i have modprobed the kvm-amd kernel module but when i run qemu with the option -kernel-kqemu it says that kernel-kqemu is an unknown argument | 06:19 |
| SomeNick | Linux might be great or wathever but | 06:19 |
| SomeNick | I cant download at all from releases.ubuntu.com | 06:20 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh is X running? ps -A | grep Xorg | 06:20 |
| braniff | Leefmc: you probably need a linux boot cd with grub-install on it | 06:20 |
| Yachaziel | Frogzoo: How do I use that command? | 06:20 |
| SomeNick | is it common for that site to get off service frequently? | 06:20 |
| Leefmc | braniff: No can do, no cd heh | 06:20 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh I better warn you right now, I ssh into machines, but don't forward X over networks, so I won't be able to give you more than really basic assistance | 06:20 |
| legend2440 | if i PM someone and they are still online but away from computer. if i log off will they still get pm when they return? | 06:20 |
| braniff | Leefmc: you have a floppy drive ? | 06:21 |
| Starnestommy | legend2440: yes | 06:21 |

| Yachaziel | mhz128: Hope that helps! =D | 06:22 |

| frenzy42 | well where are you some nick | 06:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i run 3Meg DSL from Verizon | 06:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | that should give you an idea of how long it will take for you to get from that mirror | 06:27 |
| frenzy42 | somenick: where are you at? | 06:27 |
| mhz128 | When searching for files using 'locate file.txt' how come I am not shown any results? I just get returned to the prompt | 06:27 |
| Housefly7k | my hp pavillion used to be able to control both the volume of the speakers and the volume of headphones with the buttons on the keyboard....now it only controls the volume of the speakers and doesnt affect the headphones....I dont believe I did anything to change this....any odeas why? | 06:28 |
| SomeNick | well at least it is downloading now | 06:28 |

| SomeNick | at 256 Kbps should be ready by tomorrow | 06:28 |
| usser | mhz128, do sudo updatedb | 06:28 |
| nickrud | mhz128 the locate db only gets rebuilt once a day, you can run sudo updatedb to update it manually | 06:28 |
| Housefly7k | frenzy42: nope, this is still hardy | 06:29 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | SomeNicl: you should have it within the hour | 06:29 |
| arrrghhh | is there a voice that says "system fail" with ubuntu? i don't get wth happened... i'm really freakin out. | 06:29 |
| frenzy42 | If somenick was in the SF bay area, i would have him come to my place and pick up the cd LOL! | 06:29 |
| arrrghhh | it still doesn't look like X is running, and kdm is taking 100% cpu. | 06:29 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | *SomeNick even | 06:29 |
| SomeNick | Krazy_Waka: Not so early, my connection is slow. But it seems to be downloading fast, so I should have it relatively fast. :-) thanks | 06:29 |
| frenzy42 | Housefly: you have to reassign the buttons, i'm not sure how to do that | 06:29 |
| tonewhy | hi can someone help me with my printer/scaner? i'm trying to use xsane and it says failed to opend device 'hpaio:/par/PSC_500?decive=/dev/parport0':Device busy. this is HP PSC 500 printer/scaner | 06:29 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | SomeNick: I bookmarked that mirror lol fastest one i found so far, i canceled like 5 HArdy downloads while mirror surfing to find the fastest | 06:31 |
| SomeNick | or some Satellite connection ;-) | 06:31 |

| * mhz128 thanks! | 06:31 | |
| SomeNick | krazy: yup it is dling quite fast ;-) | 06:31 |
| Housefly7k | frenzy42: this is a laptop...the keys arent actually on the keyboard they ar eon the laptop itself :) | 06:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Satellite sucks, well Latency wise anyways | 06:32 |
| frenzy42 | Oh haha | 06:32 |
| britta | ok, sorry. Perhaps somebody can tell me where to go to get help with ubuntu 7.10? | 06:32 |
| frenzy42 | um | 06:32 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | 3M max dload for me but i NEVER see it | 06:32 |
| nickrud | britta this is the place to ask about 7.10 | 06:32 |
| SomeNick | krazy: ok I take that back | 06:32 |
| tonewhy | scanner help anyone? having trouble scanning | 06:32 |
| frenzy42 | britta: do you have specfic questions? | 06:32 |
| Housefly7k | frenzy42: i even changed the device to pulse audio...now the volume control in the panel controls both...maybe I should restart to see if that was it | 06:32 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i can honestly say the fastest i've had anything dload was HArdy from that mirror. between 100K and 300K | 06:33 |
| frenzy42 | Housefly: try it, maybe? | 06:33 |
| britta | ok :) not used to this chat. I have a prob installing updates. Get this msg. darn, it won't paste... brb. | 06:33 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa try http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/ sometime | 06:33 |
| SomeNick | got 10 MB in 3 minutes | 06:33 |
| arrrghhh | is there any logs i can look at to see why my computer is not workin at all? | 06:33 |
| SomeNick | mite have 200 in about an hour | 06:33 |
| SomeNick | hmmm maybe 3 or 4 hours | 06:33 |
| SomeNick | still good. 4 hours ahead of time | 06:34 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh /var/log/Xorg.0.log logs X startup, /var/log/syslog might have something as well | 06:34 |
| britta | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 06:34 |
| britta | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 06:34 |
| deejaypip | Does anybody have a suggestion for a videoconferencing program that works with iChat? I really do not want to install skype | 06:34 |
| SomeNick | does this Ubuntu really take 320 MB RAM to work? | 06:34 |
| frenzy42 | ok britta open a terminal | 06:35 |
| tonewhy | cab anyone help me with my scanner? | 06:35 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: lol i think that may have been my next mirror to try, but once i caught the CSS server (which is a computer science school) i settled for Ubuntu upgrade in half an hour lol was fast enough for me | 06:35 |
| frenzy42 | then type "dpkg --configure -a" | 06:35 |
| britta | thanks. terminal opened. | 06:35 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa I take it back, it looks like it's throttling now. Bummer. | 06:35 |
| frenzy42 | that should fix it | 06:35 |
| neo_ | hi | 06:35 |
| SomeNick | this place is great, I will come here again when I have Ubuntu questions after installation | 06:35 |
| === neo_ is now known as newbieatubuntu | ||
| KRaZy_WaKa | 384 minimum to run the LIVE CD, being as how it's an OS running from your CD-Rom it buffers to RAM a lot! | 06:36 |
| newbieatubuntu | Hello everyone, can you help me get my antialiasing working in Ubuntu i have nvidia 8500 gt | 06:36 |
| yggShack | hello, what came after breezy ? | 06:36 |
| SomeNick | I planned to install it to a 128 MB RAM computer.... | 06:36 |
| nickrud | SomeNick that's a bare minimum, I finally replaced my 512mb max machine a year ago | 06:36 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | once its installed to physical drive it blows Windoze out of the water | 06:36 |
| SomeNick | well I will put it here | 06:36 |
| Jalathan | SomeNick, I used Ubuntu with 320MB RAM for ~2 years. not too much can be done without touching the swap, but it works better than XP | 06:36 |
| SomeNick | but this comp isnt mine | 06:36 |
| tonewhy | i have problem with my scanner, can anyone help? | 06:36 |
| SomeNick | I rn XP on the 128 RAM machine | 06:37 |
| britta | says requested operation requires superuser priviledge | 06:37 |
| Jalathan | tis better to run XFCE (Xubuntu) or Fluxbox (Fluxbuntu) | 06:37 |
| SomeNick | so maybe Ubuntu would run too? | 06:37 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | SomeNick: you may want to grab the alternate installer | 06:37 |
| Jalathan | on those specs though | 06:37 |
| yggShack | hello, what came after breezy ? | 06:37 |
| nickrud | I used to ride single speed bikes uphill | 06:37 |
| steviebuns | ygg: what is "Dapper Drake" | 06:37 |
| yggShack | somenick im curretly runnign it on a box with no keyboard mouse and 128 mb | 06:37 |
| yggShack | alternate. | 06:37 |
| SomeNick | how about if I run Ubuntu in VMWare? | 06:37 |
| yggShack | steibuns ok thanks | 06:37 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | oh hell Ubuntu will run like a champ on 128MB once installed to the physical Hard Drive | 06:37 |
| frenzy42 | britta: did that work? | 06:37 |
| SomeNick | (this comp has 2 GB but isnt mine - cant really fumble much with partitions and such) | 06:38 |
| * nickrud thinks he's finally understood KRaZy_WaKa 's nick | 06:38 | |
| britta | no. says requires superuser priviledges, which I should have... | 06:38 |
| tonewhy | hi guys, anyone know how to scan? | 06:38 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | it's the live CD that's the RAM monger lol | 06:38 |
| Jalathan | !xane | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Factoid xane not found | 06:38 |
| SomeNick | Krazy_Waka oh kool | 06:38 |
| Jalathan | !xsane | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR | 06:38 |
| SomeNick | but ever think my little machinje will even load the live CD at all? | 06:38 |
| tonewhy | jala: it doesn't work | 06:38 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | absolutely not | 06:38 |
| frenzy42 | try sudo dpkg --configure -a | 06:38 |
| tonewhy | says error, device busy | 06:38 |
| Jalathan | hrm | 06:38 |
| nickrud | britta you have to actively take superuser privs each time you need them, you're the admin but you're running in a normal user account | 06:38 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol i only say that from experience | 06:38 |
| SomeNick | ok | 06:39 |
| mhz128 | How do you pause the directory listing per page? Using the command ls ? | 06:39 |
| frenzy42 | superuser is not automatic in linux, you have to ask everytime | 06:39 |
| frenzy42 | nicely | 06:39 |
| SomeNick | I assume you have more experience than me, in quite new to Linux overall | 06:39 |

| elpargo | hi, I got a new dell laptop just got 8.04 on it and the wifi is not working, acording to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy I no longer need the driver all the tutorials are pointing me to, any suggestions? | 06:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | IMHO Linux kicks the donkey crap out of windoze | 06:40 |
| frenzy42 | before your command | 06:40 |
| SomeNick | I had Ubuntu 7.04 on a Pentium 4 which suddenly got destroyed in a flood that wipe out my little apartment pretty much..... sucked... :-( | 06:40 |
| Jalathan | tonewhy, sry, I don't have too much experience in scanning under linux... you might try over at #sane | 06:40 |
| nickrud | britta but of course ;))) | 06:40 |
| lokuazzz | ok nick | 06:40 |
| lokuazzz | thanks | 06:40 |
| tonewhy | jala: ok thnc | 06:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud how so on the understanding of the nick? lol | 06:40 |
| Jalathan | np | 06:40 |
| britta | he he, there are not so many users. haven't been in ages. | 06:41 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa crazy to run ubuntu in 128mb, that must be excruciating | 06:41 |
| frenzy42 | try xubuntu Krazy | 06:41 |
| nickrud | britta you see bullgard4 there? | 06:41 |
| SomeNick | i think the old machine can be upped to 512 | 06:41 |
| SomeNick | but wont be done overnight | 06:41 |
| britta | under applications? | 06:41 |
| frenzy42 | I get xubuntu to run on the trashiest of computers | 06:41 |
| nickrud | britta nm, you said dk, I was thinking de | 06:42 |
| SomeNick | xubuntu? | 06:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i ran it on 384 on my old machine but never really got into it was still hesitant to complete the transition, it kinda just sat and collected dust i played some of the gnome games lol | 06:42 |
| britta | yes. dk. Denmark | 06:42 |
| SomeNick | but does xubuntu still have all the stuff of other ubuntu linux? | 06:42 |
| arrrghhh | i don't see anything wrong, other than the Xserver couldn't start | 06:42 |
| nickrud | britta I claim slow americanitis. (I live in LA, so the international stuff eventually sinks in ;) | 06:42 |
| elpargo | anyone to give me a hand with this wireless issue? | 06:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yup same stuff different desktop environment | 06:42 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | well same stuff for the most part | 06:42 |
| Jalathan | same repo's too | 06:42 |
| SomeNick | ok mite grab a copy of that | 06:43 |
| frenzy42 | most of it | 06:43 |
| frenzy42 | i heart xubuntu | 06:43 |
| britta | :) well, it's bright and early here. too eárly for me to have my wits about me... | 06:43 |
| frenzy42 | if xubuntu doesn't work i use DSL or puppy linux | 06:43 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i personally didnt like Xubuntu | 06:43 |
| britta | but then maybe it still is in 5 hours ;) | 06:43 |
| frenzy42 | try some other small distros | 06:43 |
| newbieatubuntu | Who in thsi chatroom is the tech support? | 06:43 |
| vega-- | is it possible to find old packages from some archive site? i need the 2.6.24-12 kernel for hardy | 06:43 |
| Rat409 | elpargo: ndiswrapper using bcmwl5.inf worked here bcm94311 (rev02) | 06:43 |
| SomeNick | need Ubuntu 7.10 sorry cant do with anything else | 06:43 |
| newbieatubuntu | I need help dude | 06:43 |
| SomeNick | absolutely required at college. | 06:44 |
| nickrud | newbieatubuntu whoever understands your problem, after you describe it | 06:44 |
| vega-- | currently i can only find 16 and 17 | 06:44 |
| frenzy42 | you can get a limted computer to run pretty well under the right OS | 06:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | newbie anyone and everyone | 06:44 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d37aade0f | 06:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | !ask newbieatubuntu | 06:44 |
| ubottu | KRaZy_WaKa: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:44 |
| newbieatubuntu | I want to install the latest nvidia drivers that were posted 3 days ago from nvidia | 06:44 |
| SomeNick | I guess I'll run it under a virtual machine like VMWare | 06:44 |
| SomeNick | this machine has 2 GB of RAM | 06:44 |
| newbieatubuntu | how do id o that | 06:44 |
| SomeNick | but isnt mine | 06:44 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | stupid bot lol | 06:44 |
| Rat409 | KRaZy_WaKa theres a fluxbuntu iirc | 06:44 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh and what was in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 06:44 |
| frenzy42 | newbie: download a program called "Envy" | 06:44 |
| britta | bullguard4, don't seem to have it. should I install? what is it anyway? | 06:44 |
| frenzy42 | just google it | 06:45 |
| nickrud | frenzy42 envy-gtk is in the repos now | 06:45 |
| frenzy42 | Oh | 06:45 |
| britta | ok :) | 06:45 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | thanx all but I'm good running Ubuntu Hardy on an HP with 512MB RAM currently | 06:45 |
| nickrud | britta a person :) | 06:45 |
| newbieatubuntu | what does that mean | 06:45 |
| newbieatubuntu | envy gtk? | 06:45 |
| newbieatubuntu | I want the new nvidia driver though | 06:46 |
| Rat409 | envyng | 06:46 |
| frenzy42 | sudo apt-get install envy | 06:46 |
| frenzy42 | in a terminal | 06:46 |
| newbieatubuntu | i think if i update to the news nvidia drivers it will fix my compiz problems | 06:46 |
| frenzy42 | what compiz problems are you having? | 06:46 |
| newbieatubuntu | antialiasing isnt workn | 06:46 |
| nickrud | newbieatubuntu install envyng-gtk , and run it. It's designed to install the latest drivers from nvidia. I heartily don't recommend it however | 06:46 |
| Rat409 | !envyng | newbieatubuntu | 06:46 |
| ubottu | newbieatubuntu: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 06:46 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d344f7c2 - sorry i just pasted the whole file, i don't know what is important there... | 06:46 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | SomeNick: borrow some RAM from a friend's computer? or see if you can find somebody in school with RAM for your PC and give them something in exchange? that is the spirit of Ubuntu after all :D | 06:46 |
| elpargo | oh that's nice they finally fixed the crappy envy. | 06:47 |
| britta | ok, av sw. reply had nothing to do with me then... geez will have to update reading and typing skills... | 06:47 |
| elpargo | please be all means use the new version it HAS to be better | 06:47 |
| mib_m7euumzq | hi, i have kubuntu 8.04 on a cd .... is it possible to switch to GNOME after it install the OS ? | 06:47 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | newbieatubuntu: my recommendation is to stick with the free/open source drivers | 06:47 |
| arrrghhh | mib_m7euumzq, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 06:47 |
| locohost | when i play dvds, there are all these artifacts in mplayer, whats the best player to use in ubuntu? | 06:47 |
| britta | sorry if you already replied. how do I get superuser rights? | 06:48 |
| frenzy42 | VLC best player ever | 06:48 |
| elpargo | locohost: vlc | 06:48 |
| locohost | or, is there a better plugin to use? i have totem-xine | 06:48 |
| arrrghhh | mib_m7euumzq, actually use aptitude instead of apt-get. it'll make it a lot easier if you want to go back :P | 06:48 |
| locohost | and vlc installed | 06:48 |
| Rat409 | nvidia here wouldn't work trying to use hardware-drivers,envyng built it fine | 06:48 |
| locohost | there a plugin i need for vlc? | 06:48 |
| mib_m7euumzq | ok, thatnks | 06:48 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | mib_m7euumzq: what arrrghhh said | 06:48 |
| frenzy42 | britta: go private chat | 06:48 |
| mib_m7euumzq | thanks | 06:48 |
| frenzy42 | no locohost | 06:48 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh the critical thing is the last 2 lines in that file. I'm googling it but not seeing a fix | 06:48 |
| britta | argghh :) how? | 06:48 |
| elpargo | locohost: I think you don't know what you are talking about | 06:48 |
| locohost | heh | 06:48 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | VLC on Ubuntu or Windows | 06:48 |
| newbieatubuntu | Right now I have Nvidida installed | 06:48 |
| mib_m7euumzq | aptitude is something new in ubuntu 8.04? | 06:49 |
| arrrghhh | mib_m7euumzq, oh no. | 06:49 |
| elpargo | locohost: you don't like mplayer because it "doesn't" plays stuff, or the interface? | 06:49 |
| newbieatubuntu | Nvidia X server settigns is in my administration manu...... however.......... the antialiasing isn't being loaded | 06:49 |
| newbieatubuntu | i thought maybe the new drivers would fix this problem | 06:49 |
| mib_m7euumzq | hadnt heard of it uptil now | 06:49 |
| coldwolf | hehe | 06:49 |
| locohost | i said there were artifacts | 06:49 |
| frenzy42 | newbie: what is your video card ram? | 06:49 |
| newbieatubuntu | 8500 gt 512 | 06:49 |
| robotic | Hi all! I'm trying to upgrade Edgy to Heron with update-manager, but it's crashing early in the upgrade process and complains that it can't find the repos | 06:50 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | locohost: like your video is pixelated? | 06:50 |
| elpargo | locohost: what do you mean by that | 06:50 |
| robotic | Is there a way around this? | 06:50 |
| locohost | as in...different color shapes in the video that move | 06:50 |
| skillet | newbieatubuntu, i have the same card.... i think it sucks | 06:50 |
| newbieatubuntu | its not 8800 | 06:50 |
| newbieatubuntu | but its alright | 06:50 |
| elpargo | locohost: are you sure it's not the video file? | 06:50 |
| locohost | no, using a dvd, tried several | 06:50 |
| newbieatubuntu | skillet how did u get antialiasing working | 06:50 |
| locohost | non even a burned dvd, from factor | 06:50 |
| arrrghhh | mib_m7euumzq, there's a lot of arguments over which is better. frankly, i don't know why there aren't any graphical front-ends for it. the main difference from apt-get is it actually removes all the crap that is installed when you install something with aptitude. if you install it with apt-get, and try to remove it with apt-get, not everything will get removed that was installed. | 06:50 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh check to make sure you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf , move it out of the way and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg . Everything I've seen on the net says something about the xorg config, so.... | 06:50 |
| skillet | it just worked for me | 06:51 |
| locohost | reservour dogs, actually :) | 06:51 |
| elpargo | locohost: actually a "profesional" dvd is worse than a burned one in this case. | 06:51 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, k i'll try that. kdm is still takin 100% cpu... i don't get what happened. | 06:51 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | robotic: back up your personal files, and perform a clean install | 06:51 |
| Rat409 | robotic: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list change all edgy's to hardy's and cross your fingers | 06:51 |
| newbieatubuntu | skillet does antialiasing smooth out the edges of ur compiz fusion box | 06:51 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: that's so windows.... why not solve the problem? | 06:51 |
| mib_m7euumzq | arrrghhh: ok, thanks, that was new for me :) | 06:51 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh well, you can use apt-get autoremove . On the kdm, it's cuz of the X failure most likely | 06:51 |
| skillet | newbieatubuntu, i would tell you but im not on that computer right now | 06:51 |
| skillet | sorry | 06:52 |
| mib_m7euumzq | so the command would be like .. sudo aptitude install <blah blah> ??? | 06:52 |
| arrrghhh | mib_m7euumzq, google aptitude. and nickrud it was my understanding apt-get still doesn't get all the dependencies & aptitude is much better at that. | 06:52 |
| Rat409 | robotic: a jump from edgy to hardy is pretty unlikely afaik | 06:52 |
| arrrghhh | mib_m7euumzq, yessir | 06:52 |
| elpargo | locohost: take a look at the ugly plugins, now beware some of those are actually illegal in some places. | 06:52 |
| mib_m7euumzq | wokay, thanks | 06:52 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: because that is the solution I offered i don't know of another if you do feel free to suggest it to robotic | 06:52 |
| marcat | how much harddrive space do i need to compile the latest kernel? | 06:52 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh better, probably. I only use aptitude myself | 06:52 |
| Ashfire908 | After updating the kernel on my gateway, my system has seemed to stop running the ppp up directory scripts. | 06:53 |
| newbieatubuntu | skillet: is there a way of permanently running the command nvidia-settings -l before compiz loads on the computer? | 06:53 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | however my reasearch says just one release at a time or do a complete reinstall so like Rat409 said | 06:53 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, why doesn't synaptic or adept use it as a front-end? is it that new, or is apt-get that old? i don't get it. | 06:53 |
| newbieatubuntu | I read online I have to load that command before i load compiz | 06:53 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh and synaptic is essentially a front end of aptitude | 06:53 |
| locohost | im guessing that doesnt use libsexy | 06:53 |
| locohost | bu da bump tss | 06:53 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: I wasn't around to read the question but, reinstall should never be the answer. | 06:53 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, it was my understanding synaptic was a front-end for apt-get NOT aptitude... | 06:53 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh at least, it uses a lot of the same routines. If you look at the filters and such in synaptic, you'll be amazed at how they mirror aptitudes | 06:54 |
| newbieatubuntu | Anybody know.......... IF is there a way of permanently running the command nvidia-settings -l before compiz loads on the computer? | 06:54 |
| locohost | locohost@princess-alena:~$ dpkg -l|grep ugly | 06:54 |
| locohost | ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.7-3 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set | 06:54 |
| locohost | already got it, i guess | 06:54 |
| skillet | newbieatubuntu, im sure there is | 06:54 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | apt-get and aptitude are command line (terminal) commands and they are hellafast compared to synaptic | 06:54 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, adept are all front ends to apt | 06:54 |
| elpargo | arrrghhh: they are all the some thing. | 06:54 |
| skillet | newbieatubuntu, maybe rc.local? | 06:54 |
| robotic | thanks guys. I'm actually trying to go edgy->feisty->gutsy->heron, so maybe that'll have better luck? | 06:54 |
| arrrghhh | well yea | 06:54 |
| newbieatubuntu | i dont even know what rc.local means i need instructions lol | 06:54 |
| newbieatubuntu | im a windows user | 06:54 |
| Mulder | remember dselect? | 06:54 |
| arrrghhh | nickrud, well i think i completely broke mah comp. i can't get to my webserver or ssh after reboot. | 06:54 |
| Mulder | heh | 06:54 |
| cristian_ | hello | 06:55 |
| vlt | Hello. I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04 LTS recently. When I try to print something from evince now I get a greyed out menu entry "Print ...". Any idea why? | 06:55 |
| elpargo | locohost: that's gsteamer ugly which is used by totem, is your mplayer using gstreamer? did you try the video in totem? | 06:55 |
| locohost | you can put stuff in /etc/rc.local to run on boot | 06:55 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, what did you do before your reboot? | 06:55 |
| nickrud | arrrghhh ouch | 06:55 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: i am relatively new to ubuntu, and as i understand it this is an open support channel, people ask questions other people make suggestions | 06:55 |
| locohost | totem says an error occured, location not found | 06:56 |
| arrrghhh | skillet, dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg. then reboot. nothin else. | 06:56 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, nothing network related? | 06:56 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: agreed but you should give good suggestions | 06:56 |
| newbieatubuntu | In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution | 06:56 |
| newbieatubuntu | # bits. | 06:56 |
| newbieatubuntu | how do i do that? | 06:56 |
| viumden | usser,thank you for you help,I changed "radeon" to "ati" and it finally works!but I hava a question that why "sudo glxinfo | grep rendering" results a yes while without "sudo" it still gives a no? | 06:56 |
| arrrghhh | skillet, nope. i'm wondering if it's running fsck or something... | 06:56 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: gramnted reinstall is maybe a cheesey "windows" fix, but it beats the hell out of upgrade through 4 releases | 06:56 |
| Nikunj93 | any download manager for ubun tu? | 06:56 |
| provolik | hi to all | 06:56 |
| cristian_ | hi im new in ubuntu have problem w/ my video card is a nv geforce 9 cant find software for it any buddy have a hint for me? | 06:56 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | IMHO | 06:56 |
| nickrud | newbieatubuntu sudo chmod +x <script> to enable execution, -x to disable | 06:56 |
| [Realin] | ubuntu roxxx :P | 06:57 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, fsck is run on unmounted filesystems so no its not | 06:57 |
| elpargo | locohost: are you opening the file or it's one of those semi-propietary things? | 06:57 |
| SomeNick | Nikun: Im downloading from Windows XP using GetRight. | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | Nikunj93, wget is a command line download manager, you can also find a GUI one in Applications -> Add / Remove | 06:57 |
| SomeNick | If you are on Windows it might work, if not... not sure. | 06:57 |
| usser | viumden, find a section in xorg where it says DRI 0666 and remove the line Group 0 | 06:57 |
| nickrud | skillet just to bring you up to speed, he's working remotely | 06:57 |
| provolik | I have Kubuntu 8.04, but my volume control doesn't work well: I can set the volume only at max or zero... Does someone know something about that? | 06:57 |
| arrrghhh | skillet, well i don't know what's goin on now... i don't have any access any more. i rebooted it several times from ssh and it worked... | 06:57 |
| arrrghhh | provolik, with kmix? | 06:57 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: actually not at all. first of all you should be running 2yr old software, second upgrading your distro should take like 2hrs tops, just leave it running | 06:57 |
| YAOMTC | There's this Wikimedia OGG Vorbis file in a tab (mplayer plug-in), and every time I close the tab, Firefox freezes and I have to kill its process. Also, afterwards, there are a bunch of mplayer processes still running. What could be wrong here? | 06:57 |
| skillet | nickrud, lol oh... i thought this was the machine he was on | 06:57 |
| locohost | hmm, no, its not propriatary, its from blockbusters | 06:57 |
| [Realin] | anyone using ubuntu on vmware ? | 06:57 |
| provolik | arrrghhh, yes | 06:58 |
| viumden | usser,ok really appericiate you | 06:58 |
| nickrud | skillet yeah, important bit of info :) | 06:58 |
| usser | viumden, try it may not work though | 06:58 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | IMHO reinstall is a cure all start fresh fix. possibly due to my being jaded by M$ over the years :D | 06:58 |
| elpargo | locohost: ehhh I was talking about the video format. if it needs windows player 10 format it's a big problem. | 06:58 |
| Nikunj93 | Jordan_U: cant get it in ad or remove | 06:58 |
| locohost | it works fine in fedora | 06:58 |
| locohost | with vlc and totem | 06:58 |
| tonewhy | hi i have a problem installing hardy heron on my laptop. the graphics when still in the installer stage looks really bad, i think it doesn't recognize the driver? also i can't get my wireles to work either. | 06:58 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, maybe wait a bit and it will come back up | 06:59 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: exactly which means broken software, which is something you shouldn't take on to your real OS. | 06:59 |
| robotic | rat409: looks like edgy repositories are gone for good and causing upgrade problems... is it likely I can use the feisty repos with no problem? | 06:59 |
| tonewhy | i treid with xubuntu but same thing | 06:59 |
| newbieatubuntu | nickrud: I put in the line in /etc/rc.local ... now How do I reload linux to see if it worked? | 06:59 |
| arrrghhh | skillet, yea... i keep tryin it but nothin. i think i'm just gonna have to wait till tomorrow. | 06:59 |
| ryrys | tonewhy configure ur xorg.org | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | Nikunj93, There are many ( I haven't used any personally so I can't give a recommendation ) make sure that you have "All available applications" selected at the top | 06:59 |
| elpargo | locohost: did you try it on ubuntu's vlc? | 07:00 |
| nickrud | newbieatubuntu you would have to reboot to check it properly. To just test the script, sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start | 07:00 |
| tonewhy | ryrys, i'm new to linux, what do i have to do? | 07:00 |
| locohost | i just did apt-get install vlc | 07:00 |
| navetz | hey, does anyone have bugs switching between internet radio and your regular playlist? | 07:00 |
| arrrghhh | i don't get how it would just do this on its own? the only things that were running were google desktop, pidgin, and probably firefox. | 07:00 |
| marcat | how much hard drive space do i need to compile the latest kernel? | 07:00 |
| navetz | on amarok that is | 07:00 |
| elpargo | locohost: and? | 07:00 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: eh usually a complete reinstall for me is i screwed something up and I'm not sure what or how much could take days to track it all down between the original botch jon to the botched attempts at fixing so start fresh clean and new to avoid aggravation lol | 07:00 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, dunno... ive had that happen to me before. | 07:01 |

I have the nvidia card set-up kind of.. except my small, 19" flat panel has all the high resolutions available to it (i.e. 1340x1280) but the 32" hdtv only has 1024x768 as highest resolution.. it should be the other way around | 07:01 |

| elpargo | newbieatubuntu: linux has no virus | 07:02 |
| arrrghhh | skillet, why? my gf said she left the room, came back and it was dead... i don't get it. | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | Nikunj93, There are many ( I haven't used any personally so I can't give a recommendation ) make sure that you have "All available applications" selected in Applications -> Add/Remove | 07:02 |
| tat- | elpargo: you could edit /etc/sudoers, and make it not ask for password | 07:02 |
| tat- | newbieatubuntu: you could edit /etc/sudoers, and make it not ask for password | 07:02 |
| elpargo | arrrghhh: first rule of computer support is that the user never did anything | 07:02 |
| tat- | (sorry, wrong nick) | 07:03 |
| tonewhy | ryrys, thnx i'll be rite bak. i'll try that | 07:03 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, i dont know either. it was a friends box that i was working on remotely. i just thought it was something that he had done | 07:03 |
| YAOMTC | There's this Wikimedia OGG Vorbis file in a tab (mplayer plug-in), and every time I close the tab, Firefox freezes and I have to kill its process. Also, afterwards, there are a bunch of mplayer processes still running. What could be wrong here? | 07:03 |
| arrrghhh | elpargo, well i'm not sayin that nothing was running but she wasn't in the room when it died. | 07:03 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: so far I'm good on that loving Linux well Ubuntu specifically haven't ventured beyond Ubuntu too much, but i have tried some things and decided i don't like them, and not sure what all i changed to get them working and really don't feel like tracking it all down | 07:03 |
| navetz | can someone please help me fix my cdrom drive, it is not auto mounting correctly. Can someone show me a defualt fstab value for their cd rom/burner? | 07:03 |
| skillet | arrrghhh, he had a flaky video card... ati | 07:03 |
| elpargo | tat-: that is true, but you shouldn't. it's a bad idea and most people aren't aware of how bad it is. | 07:03 |
| robotic | crossing my fingers, hitting the "upgrade" button... | 07:04 |
| Ashfire908 | While installing the new kernel on my desktop it failed and said it failed in --configure (it's NOT refering to dpkg --reconfigure). | 07:04 |
| arrrghhh | skillet, yes it probably is... but i don't get why even after reboot it's dead. i have an nvidia card. this system has always been real stable (until i change things) which i haven't. i haven't been home in 2 weeks. | 07:04 |
| tat- | elpargo: of course :) | 07:04 |
| robotic | thanks for your help rat409, krazy_waka | 07:04 |

| newbieatubuntu | didnt work | 07:06 |
| elpargo | eaglestar83: if they are flash they will be where I told you. | 07:06 |
| Kaemon12433 | whats the name of ubuntu begginer talk? | 07:06 |
| robotic | eaglestar83: it looks like you can do it with GreaseMonkey in Firefox. see :http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/12/4843/ | 07:06 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Can you pastebin the full error? | 07:06 |
| mib_e79z6x | Why does it say "White wins" - One pf the players has died when I go to help in Gnome chess? | 07:06 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, I don't have it... | 07:06 |
| Kartagis | how can I get Qt meta object compiler? what's the package name? | 07:06 |
| tat- | newbieatubuntu: try to google sudoers nopasswd | 07:06 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: tried my hand at Tor and Privoxy, not working so well for me, had to edit some stuff, can't remember what don't wanna go back and track it all down | 07:07 |
| arrrghhh | my gf keeps saying there's a female (british) voice sayin something about system failure... i don't EVER remember a female voice on bootup... X doesn't even run... what could that be? | 07:07 |
| eaglestar83 | there is no /tmp/Flash | 07:07 |
| locohost | el, when i run either in a terinal, i get a similar error | 07:07 |
| locohost | libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_01_0.IFO). | 07:07 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | well got firefox running great with it but didn't fare so well with pidgin | 07:07 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Can you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and pastebin the output? | 07:07 |
| joetheodd | What's the proper way of installing an RPM on a DPKG system? Would I need to convert the RPM to a DPKG? | 07:07 |
| locohost | *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1543 *** | 07:07 |
| locohost | *** for info_length % sizeof(cell_adr_t) == 0 *** | 07:07 |
| arrrghhh | ugh if my ip changed i'm screwed | 07:07 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: there is a utility called alien | 07:08 |
| stunatra | eaglestar83, if you're using Firefox, go to /home/<your user name>/.mozilla/profiles/cache and retrieve the flash video from there | 07:08 |
| locohost | can you maybe installl rpm with apt-get | 07:08 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: what package are you trying to install | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | joetheodd, There is no 'proper' way, it is possible but should be avoided if at all possible | 07:08 |
| locohost | then just ivh it? | 07:08 |
| eaglestar83 | ok thanks | 07:08 |
| joetheodd | SuperQ, VMware-server-1.0.5-80187.i386.rpm | 07:08 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: Jordan_U is correct, it's really supported | 07:08 |
| troxor | joetheodd: it's preferable to find a .deb package, built for ubuntu | 07:08 |
| elpargo | eaglestar83: I said /tmp/Flash* the * stands for a random set of numbers and/or letter 6 (i think) chars long. | 07:09 |
| mib_e79z6x | Why does it say "White wins - One of the players has died" when I go to help in glChess? | 07:09 |
| stunatra | eaglestar83, err, it will be something like this "/home/user name/.mozilla/firefox/b7xr4akl.default/Cache" | 07:09 |
| eaglestar83 | /home/ahren/.mozilla/firefox/1zxaiv3d.default/Cache | 07:09 |
| Jordan_U | joetheodd, There are .debs for VMware, not sure if they are available for that specific version though | 07:09 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, thought the error wasn't about dpkg, but it worked for a bit, and now i got a menu. | 07:09 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: did you know you can revert any config file to it's default state when the package gets isntalled? | 07:09 |
| eaglestar83 | how do i know which video is it? | 07:10 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: there is a repository that includes vmware server | 07:10 |
| eaglestar83 | i have to see every one? | 07:10 |
| stunatra | open them and see | 07:10 |
| stunatra | if you clear your cache prior to streaming, it should be no problem | 07:10 |
| joetheodd | SuperQ, wish I'd know that before I downloaded a 100MB package :P | 07:10 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Did you get the error when installing the kernel or when trying to boot from it? | 07:10 |
| Spoken | :P | 07:10 |
| elpargo | locohost: it seems to be some issue with the coded, which version of vlc you have in your other linux? | 07:10 |
| eaglestar83 | ok thanks | 07:10 |
| symons123 | lkjasdf/part/part | 07:10 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, it's asking what i should do witht he grub boot menu file. | 07:10 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: hehe, sorry, let me get you more info | 07:10 |
| joetheodd | SuperQ, which repo is that? | 07:10 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, What is asking you this? | 07:10 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: one sec | 07:11 |
| locohost | ide have to reboot to know the exact version, actually | 07:11 |
| robotic | arrrghhh: Really? | 07:11 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, installing, i'm not restarting untill the kernel is ok. | 07:11 |
| Kartagis | hello? | 07:11 |
| arrrghhh | robotic, really what? | 07:11 |
| Kartagis | how can I get Qt meta object compiler? what's the package name? | 07:11 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: wasn't aware of that, how do i know which configs i messed with? i honestly don't remember, but i am moving to a bigger primnary drive anyway so i'm gonna do APTonCD and reboot on the new HDD | 07:11 |
| locohost | whatever is in the standard fedora 7 repo | 07:11 |
| robotic | arrrghhh: you're hearing 'system failure' spoken on boot? | 07:11 |
| elpargo | locohost: that's the only thing I got left, maybe you have a bug that's fix on the newer version. | 07:11 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, it says a new version of the file is available but it's been modified locally. | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, So if it's not installed running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" should either finish installing it or give you the error to pastebin | 07:12 |
| eaglestar83 | thanks man you guys are awesome | 07:12 |
| coldwolf | where is this? | 07:12 |
| eaglestar83 | if any one wants to learn forex let me know | 07:12 |
| Spoken | hey guys, my computer normally boots into kernal 2.6.24-17 (i think), but i could never get sound to work, so now when ever i reboot my computer, i always manually have to esc to the grub menu, and select and different generic, one that works for me is 2.6.20-16. is there any other way to do this, one thats permanent? | 07:12 |
| eaglestar83 | i am a trader | 07:12 |
| arrrghhh | robotic, supposedly. it's not running the X server, and kdm is taking 100% of the cpu. now i can't access the box at all. i'm like 2,000 miles from the machine right now. i think i'm going to accept defeat and check it out tomorrow when i get home. | 07:12 |
| stunatra | eaglestar83, you're welcome :) | 07:12 |
| elpargo | eaglestar83: hehe I always wanted to learn that :p | 07:12 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, dpkg is running. it's givene me a choice menu. | 07:12 |
| arrrghhh | Spoken, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. at the bottom, just comment out the -17 kernel. | 07:13 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: any debian based system knows which config files belong to which package. so yea you can revert them, let me look for the command cause I forgot. | 07:13 |
| Spoken | whats the command to edit that menu list? | 07:13 |
| robotic | arrrghhh: OK, good luck! I'm curious to hear what it was that was doing it | 07:13 |
| locohost | well, ill try compiling it myself | 07:13 |
| arrrghhh | Spoken, well, if you use gedit: "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 07:13 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: Unfortunately, it looks like canonical has not updated the partner repo with 1.0.5 yet | 07:14 |
| locohost | http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6f/vlc-0.8.6f.tar.gz | 07:14 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: they only have 1.0.4 | 07:14 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/d63590700 | 07:14 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: they may have been specific to tor and privoxy so if i uninstall those packages i may not have to revert the configs | 07:14 |
| joetheodd | SuperQ, that's okay, I'll just do alien and then dpkg. | 07:14 |
| arrrghhh | robotic, so am i. i don't get what's going on. apparently this just 'happened' while she was away from the machine. she came back and the monitor was in sleep mode. | 07:14 |
| joetheodd | SuperQ, I'm used to breaking stuff, this can't be major. Heck, I'm doing this to install Windows NT 4.0, lol. | 07:14 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: mind if i add you to mny IRC friends on Pidgin? | 07:14 |
| Darknezz | hey i had a question about http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ | 07:14 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: you probably don't want the RPM | 07:15 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: you want the tar.gz | 07:15 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/server.html | 07:15 |
| locohost | ls | 07:15 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa wouldn't mind if I used pidgin :) | 07:15 |
| joetheodd | I know this is off topic, and I'm sorry, but can anyone point me in the direction of finding a guide to install Windows NT 4.0 on a Macintosh? I supports PPC, but I'm not sure if the CD will boot properly. | 07:15 |
| Spoken | arrrghhh, to comment out i just put 2 #'s in front of each line right | 07:15 |
| RudyValencia | I don't think NT 4.0 can be installed on a Mac. | 07:16 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Ok, unless you have made a needed change to your /boot/grub/menu.lst then back it up with "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst{,-bak}" and then choose to install the package manager's version, make sure that before you reboot you know how to restore the backup from a liveCD though just in case | 07:16 |
| misha__ | Is anyone in here familiar with ScrollKeeper? | 07:16 |
| arrrghhh | Spoken, one # will do it | 07:16 |
| Rat409 | Spoken: yes or add savedefault to kernel you want | 07:16 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: unless it's something like adding lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or other file that is edited a lot, yes it can be reverted with no problem. | 07:16 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol guess that doesnt do much good, but i'll know when there's quality support in #ubuntu before i join lol | 07:16 |
| joetheodd | RudyValencia, it supports PowerPC processors | 07:16 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779934 | 07:16 |
| RudyValencia | Yes, but Win32 apps won't run on i. | 07:16 |
| RudyValencia | *it. | 07:16 |
| arrrghhh | Spoken, make sure you backup your original /boot/grub/menu.lst just in case. | 07:16 |
| Rat409 | and 1 # is sufficient | 07:17 |
| arrrghhh | i always forget to do that, and trust me it's a baaaaaad idea. | 07:17 |
| Spoken | arrrghhh: kk ty | 07:17 |
| arrrghhh | np | 07:17 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: Windows PPC is a strange strange thing | 07:17 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: i believe it was just the tor and privoxy config files | 07:17 |
| newbieatubuntu | I cant change my background to a gradient???????????????wtf | 07:17 |
| arrrghhh | well i have completely lost remote access to my machine at home. i'm really worried, but i guess i shouldn't cuz i can't do anything till i get home. thanks all. i'm off to bed. | 07:17 |
| joetheodd | SuperQ, thanks for that link, and yeah, it should be interesting :P | 07:18 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | SuperQ: i was thinking the same thing it'd be like frankenstein on crack lol | 07:18 |
| SuperQ | KRaZy_WaKa: hah | 07:18 |
| SuperQ | I used to have an NT machine on a Dec Alpha | 07:18 |
| SuperQ | But I never tried the PPC flavor | 07:18 |
| bpd1069 | does freenode.net have a channel for support of the proprietary fglrx drivers? | 07:19 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, It finished without errors. | 07:19 |
| misha__ | It's rather tasty, SuperQ | 07:19 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: ok to revert any package (including it's config files) to the basic deb file structure you go. "mark for complete removal" and then "install" in synaptics. | 07:19 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | been pondering CherryOS MacOSx and Ubuntu Dual boot | 07:19 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: Have you tried KVM? | 07:19 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | it's be the Anti-MS lol | 07:19 |
| misha__ | Something tells me this "///usr/share/gnome/help/blackjack/el/blackjack.xml:402: parser error : Entity 'Βοήθεια' not defined | 07:20 |
| misha__ | " is not a good thing. | 07:20 |

| joetheodd | SuperQ, no, what's that? | 07:20 |
| robotic | I go off into the great upgrade unknown... wish me luck | 07:20 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, Should i assume it's fine? | 07:21 |
| elpargo | Darknezz don't ask to ask. | 07:21 |
| SuperQ | joetheodd: It's a free vmware that comes with Ubuntu 8.04 | 07:21 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: ah sweet thanx, good to know for future reference but like i said i'm upgrading my Primary HDD from 20G to 40G so gonna reboot anyway this time | 07:21 |
| joetheodd | robotic, don't forget the elvish bread! | 07:21 |

| mhz128 | cool! | 07:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | maybe it's not a bug in chess, maybe the developers intended that opening the help file while in game ends the game | 07:26 |
| elpargo | mib_e79z6x: hehe yea that's probably a bug, but it goes to gnome not ubuntu. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ | 07:27 |

| Buttercu1 | Ububegin: thanks. It made the file just fine. It works to. | 07:48 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: huh? what did you typed in? | 07:48 |
| Flannel | nano_: also, you can resize partitions both directions, and also without having to reboot or unmount | 07:49 |
| nano_ | Flannel: that's insane, there has to be a massive performance hit with this | 07:49 |
| Flannel | nano_: nope | 07:49 |
| secret901 | when I try to install Vmware server in Hardy, it's telling me that I had it installed already and needs to be uninstalled first, but I can't find it | 07:49 |
| ToneWhy | troxor: it doesn't have any effect | 07:49 |
| locohost | yawn, night | 07:49 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo:ntax error near unexpected token newline' | 07:49 |
| elpargo | Flannel: what? you can't make a partition that's bigger than the side. | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | Hero_2221, don't type the '<>' | 07:49 |
| nano_ | Flannel: so LVM is rather an application that can achieve this. | 07:49 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: can you pastebin the output of `dmesg | tail` ? | 07:49 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: what command you put in that let you do that. | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | Hero_2221, so it would be "passwd otheruser" | 07:49 |
| kari | how to add avant window navigator in startup? | 07:49 |
| elpargo | ohhh Flannel nm your talking about virtual stuff. | 07:49 |
| Ububegin | elpargo: so you still have that script :? | 07:49 |
| Flannel | nano_: LVM is an abstraction layer the kernel does, its not an application | 07:49 |
| SATA | Flannel, < d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-server > from where the name "linux-server" derived? I couldnt find the exact .deb/.udev file for it. | 07:50 |
| troxor | kari: system->preferences->sessions | 07:50 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: what Jordan_U said without the " | 07:50 |
| nano_ | Flannel: perhaps instead I should focus on learning how to recompile linux kernel...that sounds more of a feasible idea..? | 07:50 |
| hotmonkeyluv | what does the <channel> option mean in this: sudo airmon-ng start <interface> <channel>? | 07:50 |
| secret901 | anyone know if Hardy causes the previously installed version of VMware server to not work? | 07:50 |
| Ashfire908 | My pppd scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ aren't getting run and i don't know why, does anyone know what i can do to figure out the problem? | 07:50 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: ill try it again | 07:50 |
| Flannel | nano_: What are you trying to do? | 07:51 |
| nano_ | Flannel: mess around to increase my linux knowledge | 07:51 |
| kari | troxor:what is the name and command? | 07:51 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: now it says passwd unknown user otheruser | 07:51 |
| manrage | you guys ever hear of nachobid? | 07:52 |
| elpargo | Ububegin: http://www.diveintopython.org/object_oriented_framework/index.html#d0e11177 | 07:52 |
| Flannel | nano_: Ah, no. Don't waste your time recompiling. Compiling really doesn't tell you a whole lot. Nor would LVM, for that matter. Um... something you could do would be... go without a GUI for a day, or something. Something that'll let you see how everything works together. | 07:52 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: is it possible that it got deleted sp how through the update? | 07:52 |
| SATA | Flannel, "d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-server" can you explain what this means? | 07:52 |
| Flannel | SATA: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-server Why do you need to have a different kernel? | 07:53 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: sp ? | 07:53 |
| nano_ | Flannel: i think im pretty good without gui | 07:53 |
| Ashfire908 | How do i set my system to use an older kernel? | 07:53 |
| SATA | Flannel, I want to replace the generic kernel with openvz kernel. | 07:53 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: found a bug? | 07:54 |
| troxor | kari: name can be anything you want, command is /usr/bin/avant-window-navigator | 07:54 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: because it says passwd unknown user otheruser | 07:54 |
| nano_ | Flannel : what about if i go about learning some inter-process programming. | 07:54 |
| nano_ | im sure that will do me good. | 07:54 |
| Ububegin | elpargo: hei, i remember reading this book when I was learning Plone. Seems like I forgot about this..... :D ... thanks,dude.. | 07:54 |
| Flannel | SATA: you might try #ubuntu-motu, although that's probably not the best place to ask re: d-i stuff. I'm not too familiar with remastering install CDs | 07:54 |
| SATA | Flannel, thanx | 07:54 |
| Flannel | nano_: Sure. But really recompiling won't do a whole lot. | 07:54 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: oh that's bad. if you go to /home/otheruser does that still exists? | 07:55 |
| nano_ | Flannel: thnx | 07:55 |
| elpargo | Ububegin: good to know, except for the plone part. | 07:55 |
| Flannel | SATA: maybe #ubuntu-devel, or something. In one of these, they'll let you know where the best place would be. | 07:55 |
| Ashfire908 | elpargo, my ppp scripts ran before, and now they don't, and radvd isn't getting computeres to use ipv6, and ddclient doesn't - whatever i'm tired and want it to work. | 07:55 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: no | 07:56 |
| Ububegin | elpargo: Plone is opensource content management system.. www.plone.org .. if you are interested... it is constructed in python | 07:56 |
| neo_ | I have a problem........ Ubuntu only allows me to set video to 50 mhz refresh rate | 07:57 |
| viumden | usser,i had done as you told,but the dri is still only for sudo | 07:57 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: first of all not all of that is a kernel issue, but anyway do you know the old version? if yes do you still have it install? | 07:57 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: how exactly did you "upgrade" ? did you reinstall with a new cd? | 07:57 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo:wait it still has file next to the current user im on | 07:58 |
| Hero_2221 | elaprgo:file of main user | 07:58 |
| viumden | usser,the mark of glxgears is higher when use "sudo" prefix | 07:58 |
| Ashfire908 | elpargo, yes, and i somewhat think it might be the kernel modules and not the actual kernel. | 07:58 |
| elpargo | Ububegin: it seems my sarcasm isn't good today. I'm glad that you knew python and read that book, I'm not glad that you had to go to the nightmare zope and by asoc. plone is. | 07:58 |
| manrage | can somebody tell me what this websites about | 07:58 |
| manrage | http://www.nachobid.com | 07:59 |
| viumden | usser,while without "sudo" the rendering is still "no" | 07:59 |
| suRs | how to start windows on xubuntu? | 07:59 |
| Ububegin | elpargo: seems like you had a bad experience in zope and plone... XD | 07:59 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: sometimes reinstalling the module's package will make it work under the new kernel. specailly for the propietary ones. | 07:59 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: IEs4Linux states in regards to its legality you MUST have a valid windows license to dload and use it... i suppose the windoze COA on my HP chassis would suffice as a valid license? | 08:00 |
| ToneWhy | troxor: sory for delay i had to type it out by hand. because i'm workin on 2 computers. | 08:00 |
| elpargo | Ububegin: not at all, they are just way to entreprisy in the worst meaning of the word. | 08:00 |
| ToneWhy | troxor: write protect is off | 08:00 |

| Ububegin | ToneWhy: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com now | 08:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | certificate of authenticity | 08:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | product key same type stuff | 08:01 |
| Ashfire908 | elpargo, well, i'm going to totally purge it, it installed funny, how do i configure the comp to use the old kernel? | 08:01 |
| akiraV | hrm any idea why gdm wouldnt be executing /etc/gdm/Init/Default ? | 08:01 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: better yet, unplug the card, do sudo dmesg -c, plug in the card, then do dmesg. then put the output on paste.ubuntu.com | 08:01 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo:it still has file of main user next to the current user im on | 08:01 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: oh yea as long as you ever had a new computer you have a winblows license. | 08:01 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: is the old kernel still install? search for it in synaptics. | 08:02 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: ok sry I got a little overwelm here, so what message did the passwd cmd gave you? | 08:02 |
| Ashfire908 | elpargo, yes, it is. | 08:02 |
| ToneWhy | troxor: ok give me a sec | 08:02 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: and you are using grub? | 08:02 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: anything with ath0 is good :) | 08:03 |
| usser | viumden, right, try removing AGPMode "4" and AGPFastwrite and MergeFB from section Device... other than that your config looks pretty normal, also completely get rid of section Device section screen and Monitor at the bottom of xorg.conf | 08:03 |
| Ashfire908 | elpargo, yes, do i need to just change the menu file? | 08:03 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: now it says passwd unknown user otheruse | 08:03 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: yup. | 08:03 |
| Flannel | Ashfire908: Just change the "default" line at the top | 08:03 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: i suppose that gives me immunity from M$ prosecution if i run IEs4linux :) and i could also dload the restricted software on microsoft.com hmm maybe i could convince my GF to switch to Linux yet hehe | 08:03 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: are you sure you aren't putting any spaces around it? | 08:03 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | and as a bonus i DONT have to track down a Windoze OEM install CD | 08:04 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: lemme check again | 08:04 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | valid XP key on my system I just happen to be running Ubuntu on it | 08:04 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: ohhh yes definitely you don't need the CD. it's more a legal thing so they (ie4linux developers) can cover their behinds | 08:04 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: If you don't mind, pastebin the line you enter and the output it gives (just grab the whole thing and pastebin it) | 08:05 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | well i been working on converting my GF to Ubuntu | 08:05 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | and i think i just got the cannon fodder i needed | 08:05 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: so i put passwd otheruser with no spaces? | 08:06 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: passwd username | 08:06 |
| navetz | does anyone here know how HAL works. I amm getting Feature only available with HAL error messages and mounting issues. | 08:06 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: you are calling a programs whose name is passwd with the parameter of the exact same login name of the other user. | 08:06 |
| Ashfire908 | elpargo, ok, going to restart my sys, thanks. | 08:06 |
| elpargo | Ashfire908: welcome. | 08:07 |
| IntangibleLiquid | update manger updated my kernel, but I forgot to update the grub menu. How do I add the new kernel to grub? | 08:07 |
| Flannel | IntangibleLiquid: sudo update-grub | 08:07 |
| neo_ | Can someone helpp me optimize my nvidia settings? | 08:07 |
| Flannel | IntangibleLiquid: grub should update automatically, it's not something you should have to do. | 08:07 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | her games HAVE GOT TO WORK! lol and she does the POGO thing so i think i just found the outlet to convert her! oh mighty gods of ubguntu bless the developers of IEs4Linux, and bless my optaining 2 PC Chassis's with valid XP Home keys lol | 08:07 |
| IntangibleLiquid | Flannel, thanks | 08:07 |
| elpargo | Flannel: was going to say that but maybe he edit it out. | 08:07 |
| Ashfire908 | IntangibleLiquid, It does it automatically... or at least it does on my systems | 08:07 |
| Yachaziel | lol KRaZy_WaKa | 08:08 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | *ubuntu lol | 08:08 |
| buckhill | morning | 08:08 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: isn't that java? | 08:08 |
| Hero_2221 | elpargo: im going to terminal and typing "passwd otheruser" | 08:09 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah but some of the games are meant just for windows users running internet explorer, that is such a crappy error message to see | 08:09 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | lol | 08:09 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: sudo passwd otheruser | 08:09 |
| backslash7 | I use proftpd to provide all users their home directory (chroot so they can't access system files). Can I make a symlink to /mnt/data and they can access it then ? | 08:09 |
| Chippermonkey | Does anybody in here know how to get a sandisk sansa fuze to be recognized on ubuntu 8.04? :/ | 08:10 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | now that i have all the tools i have to convince a woman to change her ways... iwsh me luck lol | 08:10 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | *wish | 08:10 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: well I used a different strategy, just start asking about all the troubles windows has, and give the proper answer, they will be begging for you to install the good stuff. | 08:11 |
| viumden | usser,what if it still doesn's work?Does that mean nothing else I could do to change it?Actually the key problem is that without direct rendering enabled,the wine photoshop cs3 seems not work for me ,which indicates the opengl32.dll doesn't exit,but in fact there it is in the wine system32 directory | 08:11 |
| elpargo | meh, this always happens to me I come ask something, get no answer and stay at least an hour answering.... | 08:11 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | oh and the impressionable mind of the 12 yr old step-daughter will be influenced as a result of converting the mother hehe | 08:11 |
| Hero_2221 | Flannel:now its asking for password of current user | 08:11 |
| elpargo | anyone has a broadcom wifi card? got a new laptop here and it isn't working... | 08:12 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: right, for sudo. Since to change the passwd of someone, you'll need to have admin rights | 08:12 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: yes go ahead it will ask you for that then the new pass for the other 2. | 08:12 |
| elpargo | i mean the new pass 2 times for hte other user. | 08:12 |
| ToneWhy | troxor, ok i pasted before and after | 08:13 |
| usser | viumden, i've exhausted all my knowledge here, not sure what else u might want to try. try asking here why dri works for root only maybe someone knows the answer... | 08:13 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: do you have a link? | 08:14 |
| dolphin | hello... i'm using hardy heron & the only problem i can find is that my delete key doesn't work... can anybody help me?? | 08:14 |
| elpargo | dolphin, laptop? | 08:14 |
| viumden | usser,all right,tky | 08:14 |
| dolphin | elpargo: yup | 08:14 |
| ToneWhy | troxor, paste.ubuntu.com/15740/ | 08:14 |
| ToneWhy | troxor, paste.ubuntu.com/15741/ | 08:15 |
| Story | I need help getting my wireless card working | 08:15 |
| Hero_2221 | Flannel:this user im am currently using dose not have administrative rights | 08:15 |
| elpargo | dolphin, ok it's probably your keyboard layout. is that a std keyboard? | 08:15 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: Then you won't be able to fiddle with other users' passwords. | 08:15 |
| ToneWhy | hey troxor, weirdly enough i think its working now! | 08:15 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: looks good to me- particularly that last part on the second paste :) | 08:16 |
| dolphin | elpargo: looks pretty std to me... for a laptop at least | 08:16 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: do you have a user you can get in to that does have admin rights? | 08:16 |
| elpargo | dolphin, i mean is it english and your ubuntu is english. | 08:16 |
| dolphin | yup | 08:16 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: i tried that, Ubuntu doesnt cost anything, doesnt get viruses, runs faster because it uses less resources, your AVG free is running out on the 31st and can't get the new AVG without service Pack 2, cant get service pack 2 because i installed windows thats less than legal as a temporary solution, cant find an OEM XP install disk to put windows on it legally | 08:16 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: yup they are all the tactics i've tried thus far | 08:16 |
| ToneWhy | troxor, thanks very much for the help, i'm not sure what happend but now it works just fine! | 08:16 |
| Hero_2221 | Flannel:not at all | 08:16 |
| andrew_ | dqwf | 08:16 |
| === andrew_ is now known as adfafa | ||
| Flannel | Hero_2221: alright, you'll need to reboot and choose the recovery console from the GRUB menu (hit escape after the POST). From there, passwd username (no sudo) | 08:17 |
| viumden | Need help,who knows why dri works for root only(the dri section in xorg.conf:"Mode 0666",without"Group **") | 08:17 |
| Flannel | Hero_2221: once you're done, init 2, will get you back to a regular boot. | 08:17 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i wasn't positive i could have her POGO account 100% functional either so i never mentioned anything about games lol | 08:17 |
| elpargo | Hero_2221: then you will have to do something more complex like this http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub | 08:17 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: no prob | 08:17 |
| ToneWhy | troxor, i also have a problem with my graphics tho, wondering if you know what to do also. it is very very bad graphics and pixiely. | 08:17 |
| elpargo | hehe what Flannel said but I got you a link :) | 08:18 |
| dolphin | elpargo: si, senor... english all around -- keyboard & ubuntu install | 08:18 |
| Hero_2221 | Flannel:elpargo: thanks for the help | 08:19 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: no you are saying why this is good, you need things like it doesn't crash, you won't lose your data, it has games :) | 08:19 |
| Flannel | elpargo: No root password. Oh, right. Also, Hero_2221, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword we've got a wiki page | 08:19 |
| troxor | ToneWhy: perhaps someone else could help you out- I gotta get some Zs | 08:19 |
| ToneWhy | troxor: ok thnx very much | 08:19 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: i tried getting her to put midgrade gas in the car today told her at todays oil prices she isnt even getting an extra gallon by putting regular in so splurge on the vehicle it will thank you later lol that didnt work out so well either | 08:20 |
| Flannel | elpargo, Hero_2221, that page (the original one, at debuntu.org) is for the root password, which isn't what we're talking about (although somewhat close). The help.ubuntu.com one is topical. | 08:20 |
| elpargo | dolphin, ummm then it's probably not a config issue, are you sure the key is not broken? | 08:20 |
| dolphin | elpargo: works in windows | 08:20 |
| Hero_2221 | Flannel:thank you im going to try it now | 08:21 |
| elpargo | Flannel: weird that page didn't got index in my google search. But it's the same method. | 08:21 |
| dolphin | anybody else know why the delete key on my laptop isn't working with hardy? ...or how i'd go about remapping keys in ubuntu?? | 08:22 |
| robg_ | dolphin: keys are always a surprise. | 08:22 |
| elpargo | dolphin, what you have under system - pref - keyboard, layouts tab? | 08:23 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: the only thing i have to be positive will work now is the USB wireless adapter, cuz she's gonna need the Net to get on the POGO, worked fine in Gutsy, plugged it in and with one mouse click i was off and ready, not so with Hardy though, guess we got similar issues now lol | 08:23 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: remember reading something about ndiswrapper not being included with hardy or something, you may have to install it to get your broadcom working | 08:25 |
| dolphin | elpargo... it said generic 105 key, it didn't work... i changed it to acer laptop, it didn't work | 08:25 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: but this page says you don't need that anymore https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy | 08:25 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: t was ndiswrapper anyway, but i definitely remember reading something like 2 days prior to Hardy's release about WiFi drivers | 08:26 |
| elpargo | dolphin, how about the "laptop options" maybe there is something check there that's remapping it. | 08:26 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | maybe thats what it was... I think maybe the Devel team was wrong, seems like a lot of ppl are having problems with wireless adapters since Hardy came out | 08:27 |
| elpargo | dolphin, sorry that should have read "layout options" it's a button on that panel. | 08:28 |
| elpargo | well guys i'm out, it's late here. | 08:29 |
| dolphin | elpargo: doesn't seem to have any option for delete key, other than one that speaks jibberish to me | 08:29 |
| it-linux | anybody can help me, is there a program software which can connect to AVR Atmel device, using C language? | 08:29 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: that page also says you can just click on the network to get connected, all that came up for me was wired network and point to point connection | 08:30 |
| elpargo | dolphin, then try turning it off maybe someone put it on by mistake ;) | 08:30 |
| dolphin | it was on default already | 08:30 |
| ariqs | what are some ubuntu packages to download and mess around with? | 08:30 |
| ariqs | some fun | 08:30 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: but i dunno, i will try to get my wireless adapter working on my computer and i'll let you know what i find out | 08:30 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: yea that's what I'm getting right now. although modprobe is working fine, but iwconfig shows nothing. | 08:31 |
| elpargo | dmesg says it's all good. | 08:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | elpargo: good luck and later | 08:31 |
| robg_ | ariqs: try ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso and you may also want gparted liveCD for disk operations. | 08:31 |
| elpargo | dolphin, well it's a weird thing really. I guess next step is to ckech the bug tracker. | 08:31 |
| it-linux | is there ubotu? | 08:31 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | yeah i dunno under gutsy i clicked the network icon and was set | 08:32 |
| elpargo | ariqs: I don't know why you think packages are fun, but you could fix bugs in them lots at the tracker. | 08:32 |
| ariqs | robg: I just meant a fun package to get to play around with. Like a game or some kind of interesting software | 08:32 |
| arie | ubuntu is the best distro!! | 08:32 |
| robg_ | ariqs: ubuntu is in the operating systems business. | 08:33 |
| elpargo | KRaZy_WaKa: this is a brand new computer, so I didn't knew but if you had it working and it's not know then I guess someone mess up the package. | 08:33 |
| ariqs | I wish people wouldn't throw love at ubuntu. It makes me want to throw hate at it to balance out the reality | 08:33 |
| Cogumelo | who is the best player to divx movies in linux? i know bsplayer to windows... and in linux the best is? | 08:33 |
| * elpargo thinks ariqs may be a bot. | 08:33 | |
| arie | !emerald | 08:33 |
| ubottu | Factoid emerald not found | 08:33 |
| ariqs | I don't know why you would think that, human | 08:34 |

| pavel_ | hey guys, i ve installed google earth on ubuntu 8.04, but it doesnt work properly, when i start it, the main window of the application blinks :( | 08:35 |
| Cogumelo | robg_ | 08:35 |
| Cogumelo | vlc is best ? | 08:35 |
| ariqs | vlc is good, but it doesn't seem to play cds for me until I rip their protection in ubuntu. | 08:36 |
| robg_ | Cogumelo: I believe all players are mere frontends and basically do the same thing. | 08:36 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | VLC definitely | 08:36 |
| arie | smplayer maybe?? | 08:37 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | although I like Totem-Xine for video as well | 08:37 |
| robg_ | Cogumelo: VLC is very popular | 08:37 |
| arie | SMPlayer can play any videos without any codec needed | 08:37 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | ariqs: not sure do you have the win32/win64 dll codecs installed | 08:39 |
| robg_ | ariqs: same for me. Maybe legal problem. My players will only play one audio track and refuse to display subtitles. | 08:39 |
| dolphin | arie: 'scuze me? | 08:40 |
| ariqs | krazy_Waka: I never went out of my way to install them. Win32 codecs under ubuntu? | 08:40 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | ariqs: yes | 08:40 |
| dolphin | arie: what's a delete file?? i'm just trying to delete a character that i've typed | 08:40 |
| ariqs | what package is that? | 08:40 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | ariqs/robg_: win32 dll codecs should fix ya, win64 if you are running 64 bit ubuntu/processor | 08:41 |

| dolphin | no prob, yo! | 09:12 |
| babolat | a7c: i can't find any driver for that particular device. try reading up about ndiswapper | 09:12 |

| pavel_ | i ve installed real player 11, but then i tried to open it and i got this error: "could not launch menu item. Failed to execute child process "realplay" (no such file or directory)" | 09:13 |
| ariqs | "69 updates available" What is this, windows xp? gah | 09:13 |
| prodigel | [matrim]: you could the structure in a text file, I don't see how complicated that could be | 09:13 |
| tony | dolphin, i'm using xubuntu, but in the display icon it doesn't allow me to add resolutions or change them | 09:13 |
| a7c | Alright, I'll be back! | 09:13 |
| dolphin | tony: for that, you definitely need to sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:13 |
| hub_ | Have any one a Tutorial over Deamon how to start a terminal-application in boot Time ? | 09:13 |
| maxfiles | ok | 09:14 |
| maxfiles | so I guess I am not getting any help | 09:14 |
| [matrim] | prodigel, well it would work for me, but I need to be able to allow people with limited skill to understand it | 09:14 |
| dolphin | tony: you'll need to search for example xorg.conf files thru google... but you're looking for a section that says "modelines" & then lists a buncha resolutions... you'll wanna add all the resolutions your monitor can handle to that line | 09:14 |
| tony | dolphin, ok thnx | 09:15 |
| n2diy | 2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | 09:15 |
| [matrim] | prodigel, like an install that restores the system like it was when I backed it up without any questeiions, like just put in CD and it will ask you to backup or restore and the restore part should be as few clicks as possible | 09:15 |
| ariqs | is there a way to only check the important updates without getting all the other updates? cause I don't want to have to uncheck 60 boxes | 09:15 |
| m1r | ariqs: updates are you own saftey | 09:16 |
| ariqs | ml2: and there are important security updates and there are reccomended updates. I don't want the reccomended, nor can I download all the junk on dialup. I however, will do the important, but I don't want to have to uncheck 60 other boxes | 09:17 |

| DistroJockey | maxfiles: what does the following do when you type it in a terminal: paplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav | 09:25 |
| maxfiles | I have been working on this for 4.5 hours | 09:26 |
| dolphin | renegade444: what do you have against dial up?? | 09:26 |

| dave12 | I need your help If I install apps in pc1 with ubuntu automatically pc2 with ubuntu through network install automatically in pc2 with ubuntu | 09:29 |
| a7c | however..if someone were willing to open it for me and send me the .ini folders, that would be pretty darn helpful | 09:29 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: what did you install that broke it? | 09:29 |
| maxfiles | OSS | 09:29 |
| Chousuke | "OSS" how? | 09:29 |
| Chousuke | a7c: it could be a self-extracting exe | 09:30 |

| a7c | chousuke: command line? (i'm like..brand new at this whole linux thing) | 09:31 |
| maxfiles | so if they want take it to pm so I can figure this out | 09:31 |

| m1r | maxfiles: tpye my name for example if u want address to me | 09:32 |
| DistroJockey | maxfiles: well, seeing as you are not using peoples names when you reply, we are only guessing who you are speaking to | 09:32 |
| kenshin | hello i need help with a freshly installed ubuntu 8? | 09:32 |
| a7c | kenshin: join the club! | 09:32 |
| maxfiles | then whom is speaking to me | 09:32 |
| maxfiles | about this issue | 09:32 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: then look at /lib/linux-sound-base/noALSAmodprobe.conf and remove everything it contains from /etc/mobprobe.d/blacklist | 09:33 |
| a7c | chousuke, unzip didnt work...failed to find the file | 09:33 |
| Kaito_ | I love how 7.10 bugged my comp and this one everyone gripes about works perfectly lol | 09:33 |
| maxfiles | chousuke that part failed | 09:33 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: "failed"? | 09:33 |
| kenshin | a7c, i can't configure my network | 09:33 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: how can editing a text file fail | 09:33 |
| maxfiles | when I went to perform the command in terminal | 09:34 |
| maxfiles | it said there was no file | 09:34 |
| a7c | kenshin: are you trying to use a broadcom wireless card? | 09:34 |
| kenshin | a7c, i mean my router assigns IP automatically on windows, it's not doing so for my windows | 09:34 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: ah, so your alsa modules are not blacklisted | 09:34 |
| dolphin | kenshin: would you like a static ip? | 09:34 |
| kenshin | a7c, i'm using a dlink 604 router | 09:34 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: what about the sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base | 09:34 |
| kenshin | dolphin, i just want it to work | 09:34 |
| a7c | kenshin; ask someone else, i'm clueless >.< | 09:34 |
| dolphin | kenshin: it's wired? | 09:34 |
| kenshin | i put the ip that dhcp assigns to windows to ubuntu, it didn'twork or i didn't know how to make it work. | 09:35 |
| Kaito_ | whats a good way to test if your wireless card is setup ok when there is no wireless point to see around? | 09:35 |
| dolphin | kenshin: you shouldn't have to change anything for dhcp to work... it should just work | 09:35 |
| maxfiles | chousuke where do I set that too? | 09:35 |
| dolphin | kenshin: do you have windows on a separate or same machine? | 09:36 |
| kenshin | dolphin, it is not working. :( | 09:36 |

| maxfiles | chousuke and where do I set it too? | 09:36 |
| kenshin | dolphin, wired | 09:37 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: what options does it give you | 09:37 |
| conta | are there anyone using HD3650? | 09:37 |
| kenshin | dolphin, the same computer, dual booted | 09:37 |

| microwaver | Is it possibl to install a build into a virtualbox using a cd that connects with a server? | 09:37 |
| dolphin | kenshin: so, what is it that you changed again?k | 09:37 |
| maxfiles | chousuke: I did and then what? | 09:37 |
| Chousuke | maxfiles: I'll just confirm: did you reinstall the packages you removed? | 09:37 |
| maxfiles | I dont know | 09:38 |
| maxfiles | how do I find out | 09:38 |
| Chousuke | well if you don't know you obviously haven't | 09:38 |
| Chousuke | sudo apt-get install alsa-base | 09:38 |
| kenshin | dolphin, i changed dhcp into static and put the IP address that dhcp actually assigns in windows, but that didn't change anything | 09:38 |
| kenshin | dolphin, it's a freshly installed ubuntu | 09:39 |
| kenshin | Hardy heron, off a DVD | 09:39 |
| hischild | how would i be able to add text to an image, using command line only? | 09:39 |
| conta | it seems to be hard to get answer for me. | 09:39 |
| kenshin | btw, i couldn't configure it right when it on "run ubuntu without any changes to the computer" mode | 09:39 |
| hischild | conta, whatś your question then? I'm not saying i can answer, but those lines won't give you an answer either. | 09:40 |
| dolphin | kenshin: hmm... i wouldn't know what to do in that case | 09:40 |
| kenshin | :| | 09:40 |
| a7c | does anyone know a way to extract an .exe driver without installing it? | 09:40 |
| dolphin | sorry | 09:40 |
| dolphin | a7c: cabextract does that i believe | 09:40 |
| robg_ | kenshin: you can run ubuntu from CD-ROM without affecting your harddisk. | 09:40 |
| hischild | a7c, try opening with archive manager. | 09:41 |
| conta | is there anyone knows set up restricted driver for HD3650? | 09:41 |
| woozzy | any ideas on flash problem? | 09:41 |
| kenshin | robg_, i can do that but it will still not detect my network | 09:41 |
| dolphin | hischild: does that work? | 09:41 |
| kenshin | :| | 09:41 |
| a7c | dolphin; thanks! hischild; doing it on my windows machine. ubuntu refuses to open | 09:41 |
| hischild | dolphin, for some archives it does. | 09:41 |
| robg_ | kenshin: if it does not detect your network then you should not install for the moment. | 09:41 |
| hischild | kenshin, are we talking about wireless? | 09:42 |
| robg_ | kenshin: if you have fairly standard hardware try another CD. | 09:42 |
| kenshin | i'm talking about wired | 09:42 |
| dhamma | i need to reinstall hardy, but the install partitioning program will not read my partitions...however, when i boot into ubuntu and run cfdisk the partitions shows up...so basically the only option the install disk gives me is to create a new table on the entire disk and i can't have that, so now what? | 09:42 |
| kenshin | robg_, i first tried ubuntu 8 's CD, didn't work | 09:42 |
| hischild | kenshin, and it won't detect it what way? as in the hardware or just the network? | 09:42 |
| kenshin | then i tried kubuntu 8 's cd, didn't work | 09:42 |
| kenshin | now it's ubuntu 8 's DVD | 09:42 |
| kenshin | i'm really tired at this moment | 09:43 |
| robg_ | kenshin: if you have tried several CDs then your hardware may not be compatible. | 09:43 |
| mrynit | is there a way to auto clean my install | 09:43 |
| kenshin | it is compatible with windows, :| | 09:43 |
| a7c | hischild: archive manager returns "and error occurred while loading the archive", I'm gonna go with the cabextract idea | 09:43 |
| hischild | dhamma, you can install over your old install during the installation. | 09:43 |
| dolphin | kenshin: try opening terminal and typing in lshw to see if your ethernet card is found | 09:43 |
| kenshin | i think it detects my ethernet card | 09:43 |
| hischild | a7c, if all else fails you can try to use wine to extract it (that's usually my last resort) | 09:43 |
| kenshin | wait | 09:43 |
| robg_ | kenshin: for the moment stay with Windows and do some further research on Google. | 09:43 |
| hischild | kenshin, lspci and look for network? | 09:44 |
| kenshin | it's eth0, IMO | 09:44 |
| a7c | hischild: dont have wine, never even heard of it, gonna try cabextract. brb >.< | 09:44 |
| hischild | !wine > a7c (for when you get back) | 09:44 |
| hischild | how would i be able to add text to an image, using command line only? | 09:44 |
| conta | i didn't know that HD3650 was rare item.. i can't find users using HD3650.. | 09:44 |
| dhamma | hischild: it won't install without going through the partitioning step...i cannot assign mount points to each partition because the partitioning program doesn't see my partitions for some odd reason...neither does gparted under x...but cfdisk sees them | 09:44 |
| robg_ | dhamma: a re-install overwrites previous installs. | 09:45 |
| hischild | dhamma, i see. Are you running gparted with root priv's? | 09:45 |
| dhamma | robg_: it won't install unless it knows which partition / will go on... | 09:45 |
| woozzy | ?? | 09:45 |
| dhamma | hischild: yes, that's the only way gparted will execute | 09:46 |
| hischild | dhamma, it'll also execute without root priv when run from command line | 09:46 |
| ompaul | dhamma what you do is choose "manual" when it gets to disk partitioning and take it from there, problems with that please document them and come back to us | 09:46 |
| microwaver | which virtualisation software do you guys recommend? virtualbox or vmware (ubuntu 7.10) | 09:46 |
| conta | is gparted a partitioning program? | 09:46 |
| microwaver | conta, yes | 09:46 |
| dhamma | ompaul: i'm accessing it from the menu | 09:46 |
| microwaver | conta, also a weapon of mass destruction :) | 09:46 |
| robg_ | dhamma: advice: write media files to removable disk, wipe disk clean with Gparted LiveCD, install Ubuntu Alternate in single boot., | 09:46 |
| conta | cool~~ | 09:47 |
| incorrect | what is the fastest way of deleting a large directory, over 600GB of small 10k files | 09:47 |
| microwaver | conta, it says so if you try to run it when u wnt to gksudo it :) | 09:47 |
| ompaul | dhamma, the way to do it is to use the install icon and move from there - it will offer you the drive choose manual then convert some partition for your own use | 09:47 |
| dolphin | hischild: image editing thru command line? sounds hardcore! | 09:47 |
| microwaver | which virtualisation software do you guys recommend? virtualbox or vmware (ubuntu 7.10) | 09:47 |
| dhamma | robg_: yes, i just don't have access to removable drive big enough to hold all my data at the moment | 09:47 |
| hischild | robg_, that is not possible for some of us, who have 500gb of data on an internal drive with 100 for ubuntu left .... | 09:47 |
| conta | :) | 09:47 |
| robg_ | incorrect: Gparted LiveCD. | 09:47 |
| kenshin | robg_, dolphin , hischild http://paste.ubuntu.com/15748/ | 09:48 |
| ompaul | !install | dhamma there are other ways to install, maybe you should have a look around here | 09:48 |
| ubottu | dhamma there are other ways to install, maybe you should have a look around here: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

| a7c | wow...i'm stupid...how do I install cabextract? (its in .tar.gz format) | 09:48 |
| incorrect | robbie``, ? | 09:48 |
| kenshin | :) | 09:48 |
| kenshin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/15748/ , it detects my NIC , IMO | 09:48 |
| hischild | dolphin, well what i want to achieve is to have the songtext which i have in a directory to be put on the background which is in another directory. I can find out what song im playing with mpc, but now i want to put it on the background | 09:48 |
| hischild | kenshin, does your network use DHCP? | 09:49 |
| kenshin | hischild, yessir | 09:49 |
| hischild | a7c, sudo aptitude install cabextract ? | 09:49 |
| ompaul | a7c, use your repos sudo apt-get install cabextract orange << they might help a lot | 09:49 |
| hischild | KenSentMe, sudo ifconfig -a please | 09:49 |
| dhamma | ompaul: i went into manual from the install cd...i'm not sure which partitioning program the alternate cd uses (i have lvm volume groups on two of the partitions)...in any case, it lists the device /dev/sdb, but no partitions whatsoever | 09:49 |
| kenshin | the IPs don't get assigned automatically on ubuntu | 09:49 |
| KenSentMe | hischild, wrong nick :) | 09:49 |
| robg_ | incorrect: what idiot puts 500 Gb of multimedia files on his primary disk ? | 09:49 |
| hischild | KenSentMe, tnx | 09:49 |
| a7c | hischild: thanks! | 09:49 |
| hischild | kenshin, sudo ifconfig -a please | 09:49 |
| kenshin | but it does perfectly on windows, i'm on dual boot between windows and ubuntu ATM | 09:50 |
| ompaul | dhamma, never worked with lvm except for dedicated installs | 09:50 |
| incorrect | robbie``, its in its own partition | 09:50 |
| a7c | hischild: that kinda failed actually...do i need to extract it first? | 09:50 |
| kenshin | hischild, i have to reboot :| i don't wanna reboot | 09:50 |
| hischild | kenshin, that it works in windows doesnt say anything about whether itĺl work on ubuntu | 09:50 |
| === napii is now known as mshanks | ||
| dhamma | ompaul: i'm going to take screenshots of gparted and cfdisk and show you what i'm talking about | 09:50 |
| dolphin | robg_: i have 500gb of multimedia files on all my disks! | 09:50 |
| hischild | kenshin, go to hardware drivers and check if it needs restricted ones. | 09:50 |
| robg_ | incorrect: if you loose access to that partition you loose access to all the multimedia files. | 09:51 |
| tony | dophin, i rebooted my system a second time and the grphics went back to before. | 09:51 |
| hischild | a7c, do, you have to execute this --> sudo aptitude install cabextract | 09:51 |
| ompaul | dhamma, ok - I may have to run in the next few but there are others here for whom that would be useful | 09:51 |
| robg_ | dolphin: do some backup. | 09:51 |
| kenshin | hm | 09:51 |
| hischild | How can i put a text on an image? ==> what i want to achieve is to have the songtext which i have in a directory to be put on the background which is in another directory. I can find out what song im playing with mpc, but now i want to put it on the background | 09:51 |
| incorrect | robg_, i don't want to zap them all, just down one branch | 09:51 |
| kenshin | hischild, is there like a manual that i can read about it? | 09:51 |
| hischild | kenshin, about what? | 09:51 |
| incorrect | faster way than rm ? | 09:51 |
| kenshin | hischild, about networks, dhcp, ubuntu | 09:51 |
| dolphin | robg_: never had a hard drive problem in more than 10 years... i must be lucky with my seagate collection | 09:52 |
| robg_ | dolphin: I hear stories of people unable to get into their computers with no other option than to re-install. | 09:52 |
| a7c | sudo aptitude install cabextract" returns "couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "cabextract", should i includ .tar.gz in the command line? | 09:52 |
| pwnt | hmm | 09:53 |
| kenshin | okey then i'll "sudo ifconfig -a" get the results | 09:53 |
| a7c | nvm..that didnt work | 09:53 |
| hischild | kenshin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 09:53 |
| kenshin | thanks for you time btw :) | 09:53 |
| hischild | a7c, sudo aptitude update | 09:53 |
| kenshin | it's not wifi | 09:53 |
| hischild | a7c, and then try again please | 09:53 |
| kenshin | it's wired | 09:53 |
| dolphin | robg_: even still, the data's still gonna be there... i've mounted other hard drives that have crashed and recovered 99+% of the data | 09:53 |
| conta | kenshin, i have got same message yesterday. do you use either ubuntu or windows?? | 09:53 |
| a7c | hischild: what exactly did that acheive? (besides displaying a bunch of errors) | 09:54 |
| kenshin | conta, both, dual boot | 09:54 |
| robg_ | dolphin: I am sure there are nerds who can perform miracles but normal people have to be able to work with computers too. | 09:54 |
| dolphin | i do worry about hard drive crashes happening, but i can't wait 'til SSDs are cheaper.... then I'll never have to worry | 09:55 |
| hischild | a7c, sudo aptitude install cabextract shoudl install cabextract. If that won work because it cant find it, then type sudo aptitude update | 09:55 |
| conta | if you get ip address through DHCP from windows, Ethernet card can't get another ip address for a long time.. about 1 hour? | 09:55 |
| conta | so you can't use internet at ubuntu.. | 09:55 |
| hischild | conta, depends on the dhcp server | 09:55 |
| microwaver | !vmware | microwaver | 09:55 |
| robg_ | dolphin: you are only talking multimedia, but companies cannot take such risks with their company files. | 09:56 |
| conta | oh~ yeah | 09:56 |
| Trackilizer | Hey guys, need your help. Usually Ubuntu detects and mounts all my hard disks, for some strange reason however only one other drive was mounted this time after install, so how do i mount my other media hard disk? | 09:56 |
| a7c | hischild: neither of those worked -.- | 09:56 |
| hischild | a7c what did the command << sudo aptitude update >> give you? please pastebin that. | 09:56 |
| dolphin | robg_: certainly not, they have the money to waste on such endeavors | 09:56 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, places and see if your drive is there. | 09:57 |
| robg_ | dolphin: companies should make multiple copies and store in different locations. | 09:57 |
| conta | because i couldn't get proper ip address from my dhcp server, i changed os as ubuntu. | 09:57 |
| a7c | hischild: can't paste...irc is on a separate computer, as ubuntu comp has no internt -.- | 09:57 |
| Trackilizer | No, its not. Only my ipod and a CD have been mounted. | 09:57 |
| hischild | a7c, explains why it wont install that package. Can you get ubuntu pc with internet? Do you know how the repo's work? | 09:58 |
| conta | beginner's sorrow.. i don't know what i can do using Ubuntu~...:) | 09:58 |
| a7c | hischild, dunno what repo is, cant get internet on ubuntu pc, no hardline available -.- | 09:59 |
| dolphin | robg_: agreed | 09:59 |
| hischild | !repo | a7c | 09:59 |
| ubottu | a7c: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 09:59 |
| Don_Miguel | Trackilizer : Is that missing drive an IDE ? in Hardy if they are detected, they seem to be mounted as SATA .. so sda instead of hda | 10:00 |

| hischild | How can i put a text on an image? ==> what i want to achieve is to have the songtext which i have in a directory to be put on the background which is in another directory. I can find out what song im playing with mpc, but now i want to put it on the background | 10:01 |

| Don_Miguel | Trackilizer : I have the same problem ... let me see if I can find the suggestions I was given <grin> | 10:02 |
| Trackilizer | Ok! thanks | 10:03 |
| ompaul | a7c, ask in ##windows please it is slightly offtopic for here :) | 10:03 |
| kenshin | hischild, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15750/ Please don't make me reboot again :) | 10:05 |
| hischild | kenshin, you should now have internet. And did you reboot cuz you activated drivers? | 10:05 |
| kenshin | hischild, i don't have internet on ubuntu :( | 10:06 |
| a7c | alright, I managed to get the .exe driver file opened, there isnt a .inf file, only .sys and .cva. are either of those useful? | 10:06 |
| hischild | kenshin, you do have an ip on that now. | 10:06 |
| kenshin | i rebooted because you wanted me to sudo ifconfig -a | 10:06 |
| kenshin | what ip? | 10:07 |
| hischild | kenshin, i never made you reboot. sudo ifconfig -a gives you all the network interfaces, including those which are down. Why would you reboot/ | 10:08 |

| plasmotron | hi guys | 10:08 |
| backslash7 | haha | 10:08 |
| Don_Miguel | Trackilizer : Sorry, I lost some stuff which forced a re-install from CD ... as I recall, you need to check your fstab and mstab ... and look for the right size disks, but shown as sdaX ....I thinkthere IS a way to get Ubunto to recognize and mount those .. but I do not remember SEEING that trick ...yet. good luck, and ... you may want to ask again.. so someone who CAN make it work can help you ( and me too ! ) | 10:08 |

| white_eagle | I found out that I couldn't change the keyboard layout to MK (Macedonian) anymore with both the keyboard shortcut and the panel indicator, so I went to keyboard preferences clicked on the "Layouts" tab and reseted the keyboard layouts and then an error window hopped out (this one - http://i32.tinypic.com/2ztkrc4.png ) so I did as it told me -- i will post the results of "xprop -root | grep XKB" and of "gconftool-2 -R | 10:14 |
| white_eagle | /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd" before and after reseting and readding the MK layout - here they are http://pastebin.com/m764b6f85 . | 10:14 |

| conta | i need some hints for setting HD3650 graphic card up on ubuntu pc. if you have, tell me plz~.. | 10:14 |
| a7c | m1r: guide says to use "ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf" command line, returns error, "no such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219" wth does that mean? | 10:14 |
| white_eagle | m1r: what command? | 10:14 |
| Trackilizer | hischild: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15753/ | 10:14 |
| m1r | white_eagle: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , take care for kyeboard config in process | 10:15 |

| m1r | a7c: open windows driver under system>adminsistration , then load driver .ini there | 10:15 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, ok one more command. ==> sudo mount /dev/sda1 | 10:16 |
| white_eagle | m1r: thanks | 10:16 |
| m1r | white_eagle: pogledaj pazljivo | 10:16 |
| magnetron | Ayabara: is ekiga set to V4L or V4L2? | 10:16 |
| white_eagle | m1r: ok | 10:16 |
| Trackilizer | hischild: mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 10:16 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, and what is written in /etc/fstab? ==> sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit (provide link in channel) | 10:17 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, problem is that your HD is not mounted as its not written in fstab most likely. | 10:17 |

| a7c | m1r: system>admin>windows drivers returns "invalid driver" | 10:19 |
| white_eagle | Dustan: I do | 10:19 |
| wild_oscar | I have a post in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811973 | 10:19 |
| m1r | a7c: u got any other files u can load in ndis ?maybe .inf ? | 10:19 |
| wild_oscar | white_eagle: they have no idea what it could be... | 10:20 |
| white_eagle | wild_oscar: I will see the post | 10:20 |
| Dustan | how can I have it index my entire hd | 10:20 |
| Ayabara | magnetron: V4L | 10:20 |
| m1r | wild | 10:20 |
| a7c | m1r: driver folder contains only 1 .inf file, rest are .cat and .sys | 10:20 |
| Ayabara | magnetron: V4L2 isn't a choice for me in the preferences | 10:20 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, ok now let me sum that all up. You have a windows partition on your first HD, a swap and ubuntu, and your second HD has 1 partition that has a fat32 partition .... correct? | 10:20 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: what graphic card ? did u install compiz-fusion icon , did u renable effects ? did u load driver with 8.04 ? | 10:20 |
| m1r | a7c: i dont know which file could be so my only guess try 1 by 1, imo should be ini or inf | 10:21 |
| Trackilizer | hischild: yes! exactly, the FAT32 drive is where most my data is on, and is the drive that i want to mount. | 10:21 |
| a7c | m1r: random error apparently...now displays "hardware present: yes:" what would the next step be? | 10:22 |
| magnetron | Ayabara: it's an option in MY settings, and i don't even have a webcam. | 10:22 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: Nvidia 8600 FTS; what icon?; after upgrading to hardy, I had to change the effects from Custom (don't show in the preferences anymore) to extra | 10:22 |
| woozzy | ?? | 10:22 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, ok. It does appear to be mounted, so lets unmount it first before we mount it to a more proper location, as the name appears screwed. ==> sudo umount /dev/sdb2 | 10:22 |
| white_eagle | m1r: I reconfigured it, it still doesn't work, should I reboot? | 10:23 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: nvidia driver? I didn't install anything, it's using the restricted drivers by default, don't know if it changed to a new version in the upgrade from gutsy | 10:23 |
| white_eagle | m1r: I haven't rebooted | 10:23 |
| m1r | a7c: if ndis detected, try reconf network | 10:23 |
| Trackilizer | hischild: yes, its unmounted | 10:23 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: gsearch in synaptic for compiz-fusion icon | 10:23 |
| m1r | white_eagle: log out , log in | 10:23 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, then create the dir to mount it at ==> sudo mkdir /media/storage | 10:23 |
| a7c | m1r: network settings still doesn't recognise wireless card -.- | 10:23 |
| white_eagle | m1r: ok | 10:23 |
| hischild | Trackilizer, and finally mount it ==> sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/storage | 10:24 |
| m1r | a7c: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:24 |
| Dustan | Anyone know how to make google desktop index my entire hd? | 10:24 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: I don't have such icon | 10:25 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: check in synaptic for package compiz-fusion icon | 10:25 |

| microwaver | bazhang, that iirc? | 10:28 |
| Trackilizer | hischild: Ok, thanks alot | 10:28 |
| bazhang | microwaver, let me find a link hang on | 10:28 |
| microwaver | bazhang, praise you. | 10:28 |
| plagerism | microwaver use alien | 10:28 |
| a7c | m1r: for the sake of humoring my assumption that i'm stupid...we're talking about system>admin>network, right? | 10:29 |
| mrtimdog | What's the easiest way to syncronise between machines specific gconf settings? I.e., gnome-terminal profiles. | 10:29 |
| bazhang | plagerism, not needed here | 10:29 |
| plagerism | it'll make a tarball for you | 10:29 |
| m1r | a7c: also there | 10:29 |
| tlnxt | dsd | 10:29 |
| a7c | m1r: where exactly were you speaking of? | 10:29 |
| m1r | a7c: check there | 10:29 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: and then what? | 10:29 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang: is'nt vmware propreitary? | 10:29 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: u insstalled it ? | 10:30 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: ys | 10:30 |
| a7c | m1r: system>admin>network shows only wired connection and point to point connection | 10:30 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: now run it and enable compiz , also make sure your driver and effects are turned on | 10:30 |
| cl10 | surabaya | 10:31 |
| m1r | a7c: seems it didnt catch the driver, can u just recheck ndiswraper windows drivers to see if it is loaded there please? | 10:31 |
| microwaver | bazhang, so, not quite allright then? | 10:31 |
| xeugene | anybody can tell me about kexi | 10:31 |
| bazhang | http://blog.zmang.com/installing-vmware-workstation-65-beta-on-ubuntu-hardy-heron-804-faqs/ microwaver there are several other links with ubuntu hardy vmware workstation as well | 10:31 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: it was already enabled. (select window manager - compiz was selected) | 10:31 |
| xeugene | can support a ms access database | 10:32 |
| a7c | m1r: wireless network drivers "bcmwl5: hardware present: yes" | 10:32 |
| bazhang | microwaver, that is for the beta, use those search term to find version 5.56 as well | 10:32 |
| Dustan | Anyone know how to make google desktop index my entire hd? a "/" isn't working | 10:32 |
| bazhang | anirudh0, aye, and pay version | 10:32 |
| m1r | a7c: then is loaded | 10:32 |
| anirudh0 | Dustan: would'nt you need to run it as root for that to happen? | 10:32 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: check your effects settings and compiz config | 10:32 |
| bazhang | Dustan, you did not see the link I gave you? | 10:32 |
| anirudh0 | bazhang: then why not recommend xen or one of the other alternates? | 10:33 |
| microwaver | bazhang, i'm using gutsy :) | 10:33 |
| bazhang | anirudh0, he asked how to get that going. | 10:33 |
| anirudh0 | xeugene: not a good idea | 10:33 |
| m1r | a7c: try reboot ? not that it should matter but just for case | 10:33 |
| a7c | m1r: apparently it is, as "ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf" returns "driver is already installed". this doesn't explain why it doesnt show up. | 10:33 |
| a7c | m1r: lol, rebooting | 10:33 |
| anirudh0 | xeugene: koffice is a great app..but less compatible with ms office than oofice | 10:33 |
| bazhang | microwaver, then ubuntu gutsy vmware workstation will do the same as far as search results | 10:33 |
| niuq | there is an application for viewing what is the hardware i have installed, with the corresponding dma, I/O, irq, for each device | 10:34 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: the settings manager goes to the ccsm window | 10:34 |
| niuq | ? | 10:34 |
| microwaver | bazhang, i'm just going to vmware, because it seems to be virtualbox doesn't do as asked | 10:34 |
| anirudh0 | niuq: hwinfo | 10:34 |
| anirudh0 | niuq: cmd line | 10:34 |
| DarKKer666 | hey, nice people, i have some problem, my lcd 17" widescreen monitor, goes black, when i start ubuntu 8.04, when i install the private drivers for my videocard nvidia, it seems like the monitos dont support more than 1280x720, and in the xorg.conf file, can change that some one have the same problem? | 10:34 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: turn effects ON and load your favourite plugins | 10:35 |
| bazhang | microwaver, no need for workstation; server is in canonical partner repos | 10:35 |
| niuq | anirudh0: i have to install it? | 10:35 |
| microwaver | bazhang, can it make images as well? | 10:35 |
| anirudh0 | niuq: yes | 10:35 |
| bazhang | microwaver, sure | 10:35 |
| a7c | lol...rebooting with install disc still in scared the crap outta me | 10:35 |
| microwaver | bazhang, aha, thats handy cuz they're free :) | 10:35 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: ezoom and swift switcher ARE turned on; their shortcut keys don't produce the expected result | 10:35 |
| niuq | anirudh0: alright, thank you | 10:35 |
| MGalaxy | hello, I need a DNS IP Address, anyone can help me PLZ? | 10:36 |
| bazhang | microwaver, you can also download appliances (pre-configured distros etc) from vmware site and places like linuxtracker.org | 10:36 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: swift switcher, for example (Super+Tab), fades to the desktop while I'm pressing the super key, but the windows aren't shown | 10:36 |
| a7c | m1r: reboot did nothing -.- *kills self* | 10:36 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: did u check you enabled effects ? | 10:36 |
| niuq | anirudh0: and there's not an X app? | 10:36 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: yes, both ezoom and swift switcher are ticked... | 10:37 |
| m1r | a7c: strange, if driver detected in ndis it "should" work | 10:37 |
| anirudh0 | niuq: afaik, not in gnome..remember something was there in kde 3.5 | 10:37 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: system>preferences>apperance -- effects | 10:37 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: "extra" | 10:37 |
| anirudh0 | niuq: ubuntu had a nice hardware info gui in dapper..wonder where that has disappeared now | 10:37 |
| m1r | a7c: u use 32bit install ? | 10:37 |
| babolat | TvTime is giving me "no signal". How do I make my Pixelview PlayTV Pro BT878 work in gutsy? | 10:37 |
| microwaver | bazhang, what I want to do is install a build from my work place in a vm machine. that means. Starting Vmware, putting in 'install disk' (the install disk just asks for which driver to pick and then pulls a windows xp over the network from the server) and that doesn't seem to work in vbox | 10:38 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: the other effects are working. only these two don't work (from the ones I tested) | 10:38 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: then compiz is runing, correct ? | 10:38 |
| a7c | m1r: my computer is 64bit...so that would have been unwise. >.< | 10:38 |
| niuq | anirudh0: now is just hwinfo, and viewing the files i think, like /proc/dma, /proc/ioports | 10:38 |
| m1r | a7c: i had problems with ndis and 64bit :/ while on 32bit it work flawlesly | 10:38 |
| bazhang | microwaver, best place would be vmware forums though I will google for it as well | 10:38 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: I can rotate the cube, even use the useless water effect | 10:38 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: yes | 10:38 |
| a7c | m1r: install file i used is "Ubuntu 8.04 amd64" | 10:39 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: then is problem with your plugin settings, i cant help u there | 10:39 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: I even reinstalled compiz | 10:39 |
| a7c | m1r: wouldnt using 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit machine cause...issues? | 10:39 |
| m1r | a7c: no | 10:39 |
| rpedro | anyone know of a central place for issues and workarounds for ubuntu amd64? | 10:39 |
| wild_oscar | m1r: as explained here as well: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?p=59248#post59248 | 10:39 |
| a7c | m1r: grrr...install file link? | 10:40 |
| rpedro | I'm thinking of switching, for the speed | 10:40 |
| m1r | a7c: wait | 10:40 |
| bazhang | rpedro, here, launchpad answers and ubuntuforums | 10:40 |
| rpedro | k | 10:40 |
| m1r | a7c: check lspci for wlan network card | 10:40 |
| bazhang | rpedro, no real substantial speed increase really; unless you are doing heavy video compositing or have a huge amount of ram | 10:41 |
| rpedro | tried google, no page like that exists, so figured if it does it must be pretty well hidden | 10:41 |
| a7c | m1r: lspci returns "network controller: broadcom corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02)" | 10:41 |
| bazhang | rpedro, 32 bit works just as well and fewer headaches (cf flash and other bits) | 10:41 |
| m1r | a7c: it is there | 10:41 |
| m1r | wild_oscar: sry m8, if compiz is runing i cant help you with plugins as i dont use that ones :/ | 10:42 |
| microwaver | bazhang, Did that, but theres 50% chance its due to the installation option they use here, atht he flemish government | 10:42 |
| a7c | m1r: yeah...i know it's there, you know its there, the computer even knows its there...WHY ISNT IT WORKING?!? | 10:42 |
| rpedro | bazhang: is it true every app needs to be 64 bit? or just stuff like java and flash?? if so, why? | 10:42 |
| m1r | a7c: lets try remove ndiswrapper and see if card still detected | 10:42 |
| m1r | a7c: wait | 10:42 |
| babolat | TvTime is giving me "no signal". How do I make my Pixelview PlayTV Pro BT878 work in gutsy? | 10:43 |
| bazhang | rpedro, no does not need be, but not as easy as in all 32bit system | 10:43 |
| a7c | m1r: card was detected by lspci before install | 10:43 |
| m1r | a7c: alt+f2 : gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces in pastebin.com please | 10:43 |

| rpedro | bazhang: I mean stuff like games, unless you compile it yourself, it needs to have both 32 and 64 bit support bundled, if not you have to tweak it to use 32 bit libraries, that makes it slow, right? | 10:44 |
| anirudh0 | rpedro: which is related to maximum addressable ram size as well..63 bit has more bits to play with..hence more addresses possible..hence bigger addressable RAM | 10:44 |
| m1r | a7c: can u PM me that lines | 10:45 |

| ActionParsnip | if i use virtualbox and mount a usb stick as hda and the ubuntu cd to boot, can I install to usb stick that way. Ive seen walkthroughs but then it came to me. Is this a viable solution? | 10:47 |

| European-African | hey, I am having huge problems, I updated hardy with the new kernel and some other things and my graphics got all cocked up, 640x480! how do you set it back to what it was. | 10:47 |
| bing | cant i just put a cd in and see what happens | 10:48 |
| a7c | bing: yes you can | 10:48 |
| rpedro | ikonia: ok, but that makes it slower to run than native, specially games? | 10:48 |
| anirudh0 | European-African: downgrade the kernel :) | 10:48 |
| bazhang | bing http download or torrent | 10:48 |
| m1r | bing: download livecd and test your hardware b4 install | 10:48 |
| a7c | bing: burn the install .iso file to a cd, then reboot your pc with the cd in | 10:48 |
| European-African | ok | 10:48 |
| anirudh0 | European-African: assuming you have'nt removed it yet | 10:48 |
| DjViper | where can I find the update installation log? | 10:48 |

| marcusklaas | Frustration got dem better of me. | 10:49 |
| anirudh0 | European-African: no big deal..hardly any difference in kernel numbers these days unless you have very particular hardware | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | European-African: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should let you reconfigure your gfx, or modify xorg.conf to make sure it using the only res you want (way easier) | 10:49 |

| ikonia | anirudh0: no, I only picked up on half the conversation | 10:55 |
| ferronica | bazhang: ok installed via terminal how to run it ? | 10:55 |
| ikonia | tyberion: X | 10:55 |
| ikonia | tyberion: you need a window manager to launch a console | 10:56 |
| tyberion | ikonia: uh?? thats gonna bring up a console? | 10:56 |
| gordonjcp | anirudh0: what's Ubuntu Muslim edition? | 10:56 |
| anirudh0 | ferronica: what does coretemp do..i neither have the app, nor a package matching it | 10:56 |
| ikonia | tyberion: X won't bring up a console, X will launch X without a window manager, you need a window manager to display a console | 10:56 |

| tyberion | ikonia: oh.. well can I just run up a different CTR+ALT and launch a wine application there? | 10:56 |
| syrius` | so would the kernel crashing 1/2 way through a compile and not doing a clean compile after that probably cause that to not work? | 10:56 |

| tyberion | ikonia: hmm... I just want to run a game.. aint there just a simple way like that? | 10:57 |
| syrius` | well it didn't compile because my laptop froze ;) | 10:57 |
| ikonia | tyberion: whats the problem with running wine in a window manager ? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | syrius`: then recompile it | 10:57 |
| syrius` | so it wasn't an error issue | 10:58 |

| ikonia | gordonjcp: from what I've read | 10:58 |
| syrius` | and it actually loaded into the login screen with the new kernel | 10:58 |
| ferronica | anirudhO: google coretemp :) | 10:58 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: never used it, learnt of it's existance 30 seconds ago | 10:58 |
| syrius` | but the screen went white after that, and just showed the mouse, so i uninstalled, giong to try again.. | 10:58 |

| rrrachel | hopelessguy: probably already installed as xserver-xorg-video-sys | 11:16 |
| renegade444 | acornacorn: and the important question, can you access the server to compress there? If so, I'd use zip compression on the server and then transfer the zip. if not, you're going to have to transfer it first and then compress it on your machine. | 11:16 |
| rrrachel | sis | 11:16 |
| harpreet | any method to make HDAUDIO Data Fax Modem with Smart CP work in ubuntu? | 11:16 |
| hopelessguy | rrrachel: no they are not, compiz says "no whitelisted driver found" and i can't change better resolution | 11:16 |
| rrrachel | the question is how to tell X on ubuntu to use it. they seem to have taken out the ability to control that, though i suppose you could write your own xorg.conf | 11:16 |
| AcornAcorn | renegade444: it's not possible to compress over the network? | 11:16 |
| rrrachel | hm, i don't even have a sis card and i have that package installed... | 11:16 |

| anirudh0 | AcornAcorn: afaik not from a windows box | 11:17 |
| AcornAcorn | renegade444: it's just going to take for ever to transfer all the files | 11:17 |
| harpreet | what you guys talking about? | 11:17 |
| renegade444 | acornacorn: well, you COULD but it would be really slow, as you'd end up transfering it back and forth to the server several times in the process of compressing. not reccommended | 11:17 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: you can disable compiz's check for supported driver..if you are willing to risk it..google for details | 11:18 |
| rrrachel | hopelessguy: try X -configure and see what it makes? | 11:18 |
| hopelessguy | anirudh0: i have tried it | 11:18 |
| hopelessguy | anirudh0: result = reboot because the desk goes black :P | 11:18 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: running compiz from terminal is generally more helpful..in terms of error messages | 11:18 |
| AcornAcorn | renegade444: what do you think is the fastest way of transferring the folder then? | 11:18 |
| hopelessguy | anirudh0: yeah | 11:18 |

| newbieubuntu | windows may be unstable and unsecure, but god damnit its easy to use when its working | 11:20 |

| harpreet | translyator you do that when you set up ubunutu | 11:20 |
| AcornAcorn | harpreet: I've done that already | 11:20 |
| renegade444 | acornacorn: unless you can get the server to do the compressing, you want to transfer the uncompressed and do any compression on your machine. using your machine to compress it from the mounted volume is REALLY bad. I promise. worse than waiting on the uncompressed transfer. | 11:20 |
| harpreet | AcronAcron , you want to increase the size after? | 11:21 |

| tyler_ | wheres is smb://amd/music_ mounted on my computer? | 11:21 |
| tyberion | ..and I got only ubuntu installed. | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | AcornAcorn: everything is complicated by the factor that your source machine is win..so unix cmd line progs wont work there...which takes a lot of options away | 11:21 |
| translyator | harpreet:no i dont do it | 11:21 |
| visik7 | tyberion: virtual machine or wine (if you are lucky) | 11:21 |
| visik7 | tyberion: anyway samsung use pmp | 11:22 |
| visik7 | that is supported afaict | 11:22 |
| anirudh0 | translyator: i think you can even have 2 swaps..just run swapon on them in the init scripts | 11:22 |
| rrrachel | not in the init scripts | 11:22 |
| rrrachel | put it in /etc/fstab | 11:22 |

| tyberion | visik7: pmp = ? | 11:22 |

| AcornAcorn | anirudh0: I have putty on the windows machine | 11:23 |
| renegade444 | acornacorn: I'm not sure I understand why ssh is important here. | 11:23 |
| harpreet | tyberion, it may or may not work | 11:23 |
| visik7 | tyberion: a standard protocol for syncing music between pc and porable devices | 11:23 |
| anirudh0 | AcornAcorn: putty as server? | 11:23 |
| tyler_ | anyone here use xchat? | 11:23 |
| tyberion | harpreet: ok I just gonna give it a try... | 11:23 |
| anirudh0 | tyberion: check wine-doors..google for it | 11:23 |
| tyberion | visik7: hmmm never heard of it.... | 11:23 |
| anirudh0 | tyler_: yes | 11:23 |
| tyberion | anirudh0: ok, tahnx | 11:24 |
| harpreet | tyberion, you can try it, sometimes it works, if it doesnt need any hardware it might work | 11:24 |
| visik7 | newbieubuntu: but the 169.12 doesn't works with your card ? | 11:24 |
| AcornAcorn | renegade444: so you think ftp will be the fastest way? there isn't just a command i can put in terminal that will download the folder from the smb share? | 11:24 |
| jimcooncat | /join #bzr | 11:24 |

| tyberion | visik7: kk... ill brb | 11:24 |
| harpreet | anymethod to make HDAUDIO Data Fax Modem with Smart CP work in ubuntu? | 11:24 |
| anirudh0 | tyler_: right click on the ubuntu tab | 11:24 |
| newbieubuntu | I dont know because its not installing correctly. I keep getting low-graphics mode. or nvidia x settings isnt working cuz the driver isnt installed | 11:25 |
| X-Seti | Hi | 11:25 |
| anirudh0 | harpreet: is it in the supported hardware list? | 11:25 |
| rrrachel | newbieubuntu: try nvidia-xconfig ? | 11:25 |
| harpreet | anirudh0 no its not, its a software modem in vista | 11:25 |
| newbieubuntu | yes no luck | 11:25 |
| rrrachel | hm, that fixed x for me :-) | 11:25 |
| X-Seti | Whats the best mail(d) / server for ubuntu? | 11:26 |
| anirudh0 | harpreet: you asked this question someago as well right? | 11:26 |
| newbieubuntu | im thinking of reinstalling it another day i just cant get it back the way it was | 11:26 |
| visik7 | tyberion: ok the name of the protocol is mtp not pmp | 11:26 |
| harpreet | newbieubuntu, you have to disable the driver under Hardware Drivers Manager | 11:26 |
| hopelessguy | this is what the compiz says when i try to start it: http://www.paste.arkku.net/index.php?id=2071503987483fd631d9728 | 11:26 |
| renegade444 | acornacorn: i'd personally use drag/drop with your smb access, but if you can't do that and want command line, I'd use ftp yes. | 11:26 |
| harpreet | newbieubuntu, then you can try installing driver fron nvidia | 11:26 |
| anirudh0 | harpreet: *sometime ago | 11:26 |
| newbieubuntu | yea.. i installed from nvidia and thats when my problems started | 11:26 |
| rodolfo | hi. how can I set the window menu font? I wonder if that is possible using an application.. | 11:26 |
| rrrachel | hopelessguy: i see your problem. your machine has a lack of self-confidence due to its hostname | 11:26 |
| tyberion | visik7: mhhh, If using a vm I need to install windows on that VM right? | 11:26 |
| rrrachel | ;-) | 11:27 |
| harpreet | anirudh0, yes | 11:27 |
| visik7 | tyberion: obviously | 11:27 |
| hopelessguy | rrrachel: :o what to do? :f | 11:27 |
| newbieubuntu | lol | 11:27 |
| rrrachel | show it some love, and maybe accept its limitations. (your sis card may not be capable of driving compiz) | 11:27 |
| tyberion | I heard of a USB version of WINXP... anyone heard about that? | 11:27 |
| newbieubuntu | ubuntu.... "it just doesnt work" lol | 11:27 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: compiz and kubuntu dont mix | 11:27 |
| harpreet | ! lol | newbieubuntu | 11:27 |
| ubottu | newbieubuntu: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 11:27 |
| visik7 | tyberion: bart's PE ? | 11:27 |
| hopelessguy | aha | 11:28 |
| kelvin911 | tyberion: i know there is a liveCD version of xp | 11:28 |
| stothepizzle | which is more likley to be my physical dvdrw tray /dev/scd0 or /dev/cdrom | 11:28 |
| renegade444 | acornacorn: if your smb access is mounted to the filesystem, you can use the standard command cp from the command line to copy it | 11:28 |
| kelvin911 | yes something like bartPE | 11:28 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: you have to start compiz before kwin or something like that | 11:28 |
| rrrachel | hmm | 11:28 |
| rrrachel | hopelessguy: you're running as root, that may be wrong | 11:28 |
| backslash7 | anyone good in bartpe? | 11:28 |
| backslash7 | I just insalled it on a usb stick | 11:28 |
| backslash7 | booting with syslinux | 11:28 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: new version of kubuntu supports it though..so a fix should be out...google | 11:28 |
| rrrachel | when logged into your desktop open a terminal and as your user run | 11:28 |
| DirtyDawg | i cant get nvidia to work with v8, so i went back to 7 | 11:28 |
| kelvin911 | backslash7: i dont think so | 11:28 |
| rrrachel | compiz --replace | 11:28 |
| AcornAcorn | renegade444: okay, well i dragged it now, really slowing my computer down :P | 11:28 |
| bazhang | tyberion, what does xp have to do with ubuntu support | 11:28 |
| newbieubuntu | someone needs to make NOOBUNTU and not release any programs for it unless its a double click deal, next, next ok, like windowsinstalls | 11:29 |
| hopelessguy | :E | 11:29 |
| hopelessguy | i try.. | 11:29 |
| tyler_ | renegade444: how do i mount a smd share....like right now im playing music on amarok through smb://amd/music....how would i mount this | 11:29 |
| AcornAcorn | renegade444: getting 3 MB/s | 11:29 |
| hopelessguy | anirudh0: something happened but it went back to normal | 11:29 |
| backslash7 | tyler_ I told you!? | 11:29 |
| tyberion | bazhang: sorry... | 11:29 |
| backslash7 | wtf | 11:29 |
| visik7 | tyler_: mount command | 11:29 |
| backslash7 | what the fuck tyler_ | 11:29 |
| visik7 | tyler_: -t smbfs ecc... | 11:29 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: it is easier to use gnome...or switch over to kwin-kde4, which imho is atleast as good..if not better than compiz | 11:29 |
| visik7 | tyler_: but it sucks | 11:29 |
| bazhang | backslash7, no cursing | 11:29 |
| visik7 | tyler_: do you use amarok on ubuntu or kubuntu ? | 11:30 |
| hopelessguy | anirudh0: tried with ubuntu too. same result | 11:30 |
| AcornAcorn | How do you find out when firefox rc1 is going to be released for ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| tyler_ | ubuntu | 11:30 |
| backslash7 | bazhang: He was bothering me all the time I helped him setting up his sharing and all that crap and I told him how to mount now hes asking here? | 11:30 |
| visik7 | AcornAcorn: it's in porposed if you want to use it | 11:30 |
| backslash7 | tyler_ ? | 11:30 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: he could add it to fstab.... | 11:30 |
| tyler_ | backslash7: i couldnt get it to work | 11:30 |
| rrrachel | visik7: except it didn't seem to be when i checked just now | 11:30 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: oh, how do I do that? | 11:30 |
| visik7 | rrrachel: ff3rc1 ? | 11:31 |
| rrrachel | yeah | 11:31 |
| backslash7 | tyler_ I told u to mount the smb share to a local folder and play it from there | 11:31 |
| rrrachel | although thinking about it, i already have it installed by doing this http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-install-firefox-3-rc1-on-ubuntu.html and maybe the one in proposed is the exact same version so no upgrade showed | 11:31 |
| backslash7 | figure it out yourself then -.- | 11:31 |
| visik7 | rrrachel: apt-cache policy firefox-3.0 |grep "\*\*\*" | 11:31 |
| visik7 | *** 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0 | 11:31 |
| visik7 | rrrachel: mmm | 11:32 |
| hopelessguy | hmm | 11:32 |
| rrrachel | 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta2~hardy | 11:32 |
| tyler_ | mount error: could not find target server. TCP name amd/ not found | 11:32 |

| kelvin911 | anyone has experience setting up usb bluetooth? | 11:32 |
| hopelessguy | rrrachel: kwin-kde4? | 11:32 |
| rrrachel | which probably counts as a higher version | 11:32 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: see any significant benefit from beta5? | 11:33 |
| microwaver | exit | 11:33 |
| rrrachel | hopelessguy: unknown as you're in kde. i use gnome | 11:33 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: so how would I install it? | 11:33 |
| anirudh0 | hopelessguy: i meant switching to kde4 | 11:33 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: indeed I use epiphany for normal browsing and ff2 for web devel :) | 11:33 |
| hopelessguy | anirudh0: it has bad results | 11:33 |
| rrrachel | hopelessguy: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop and try it out; if it works at least you do know it's kde at fault and not compiz/your card | 11:33 |
| hopelessguy | i tried today :) | 11:33 |
| visik7 | AcornAcorn: add proposed to your repos | 11:33 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: any reason for that?...not using ff by default i mean | 11:33 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: too slow | 11:34 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: xul make me sick | 11:34 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: hmm..dont use extensions then | 11:34 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: I need them for devel purpose | 11:35 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: i'm on my software sources list, how do i add it? | 11:35 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: ff3 is supposed to have improved that..which is apparently why lots of extensions stopped working..though you would know more about that :) | 11:36 |
| visik7 | AcornAcorn: my common answer would be "google is your friend" but today I'm less bastard than usual so | 11:36 |
| visik7 | deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe | 11:36 |
| rodolfo | I'm looking for Ubuntu official themes. can anyone recommend some site? I've visited gnome look, kde look and related stuff but it seems there's nothing interested on there | 11:36 |
| visik7 | ops | 11:36 |
| visik7 | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe | 11:37 |
| visik7 | rodolfo: look for human theme | 11:37 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: anyway there is also another reason | 11:37 |
| rodolfo | visik7 you mean the new human theme? | 11:37 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: have you ever used firebug ? | 11:37 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: if we could reply "giyf", then traffic on this server would go down by alleast half :) | 11:37 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: aww thanks, yeah, it's not the source that i want :) | 11:37 |
| visik7 | rodolfo: I dunno, the theme of ubuntu is called human | 11:38 |
| hopelessguy | rrrachel: i have tried with ubuntu, last time this morning "Desktop effects could not be enabled" :s | 11:38 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: no..the new bug finding system? | 11:38 |
| rrrachel | hopelessguy: then maybe the card just can't do it | 11:38 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: no it's an extension for devel purpose | 11:38 |
| visik7 | anirudh0: devel of web not of firefox itself | 11:38 |
| hopelessguy | rrrachel: or i just haven't found right drivers for it if kubuntu/ubuntu doesn't include them | 11:38 |
| anirudh0 | visik7: ok..thanks for the info..leaving now | 11:39 |

| fde | vlt: I think apps try to use Printings settings, idk... I havne't tried the web interface on either Fedora or Ubuntu that use that tool. | 12:11 |
| gooody | zvacet: but got errors during installation | 12:11 |
| roycruse | ok say how do i grant access to the default keyring for the wireless nm-applet | 12:11 |
| olejorgenb | anyone know how/if I can hide the scrollbars i evince? | 12:12 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: where do i put it in the sources.list file? | 12:12 |

| gooody | zvacet: package is missing | 12:12 |
| Jessica | Hi Folks. I can't get ddclient to work. I installed it using "sudo apt-get install ddclient" but it doesn't seem to log into my dyndns provider. Ideas? | 12:12 |
| tdawgedogg | when starting ubuntu hardy 8.04 it hangs on starting nfs daemon | 12:12 |
| bazhang | not sure roycruse ; ever consider setting it up via command line? | 12:12 |
| vlt | fde: I'll try via system settings again. Where else does this tool store the setup info than in /etc/cups/printers.conf or ~/.lpoptions? | 12:13 |
| AcornAcorn | why does nothing happen why i try and add the hardy-proposed source in software sources? | 12:13 |
| zvacet | gooody : there are insructions for Gutsy and that can be problem (just guess) | 12:13 |
| jonaskoelker | question: I recently installed kubuntu with full disk encryption (using the defaults of the installer). Now I want to rtfm on the encryption software; in particular the bit that decrypts the master key with my passphrase-key. Which prog/pkg names do I google for? | 12:13 |
| bazhang | AcornAcorn, you need to update your sources.list | 12:13 |
| olifre | Since upgrade to hardy, I can not burn any CD anymore. Ideas? | 12:14 |
| gooody | zvacet: thanks anyway for the assistant | 12:14 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: it might be a bug in your application; try several different CD burning programs and see if they all fail | 12:14 |
| fde | vlt: I'm not entirely sure... and dpkg -L system-config-printer-{common,gnome} | grep etc isn't enlightening. | 12:14 |
| AcornAcorn | bazhang: manually? | 12:14 |
| olifre | Tried K3B, brasero and nautilus already. | 12:15 |
| Jessica | ddclient was working on my old rh9.2 machine. any thoughts? | 12:15 |
| zvacet | gooody : why didn´t you add medibuntu repos from link I posted to you and after that just sudo apt-get install acroread | 12:15 |
| bazhang | AcornAcorn, close software sources or synaptic and sudo apt-get update | 12:15 |
| olifre | All fail with write-error at first sector and / or permission-problems. | 12:15 |
| cdonges | I was watching Big Buck Bunny and I think my 3yo would love it except for 1 scene. Is there a program I could use to cut out that scene? | 12:15 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: hmm... have you tried running them as root? | 12:15 |
| PaloAlto | thanks <zvacet> | 12:16 |
| olifre | Yes, this just gave me other errors... might try again. I am in group cdrom and thus have permissions to access scd0 | 12:16 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: do the permission problems consistently correlate with something (application, phase-of-moon, ...)? | 12:16 |
| Jyri-C | hello! im trying to make an backup but i got this input/output error. what does it mean? | 12:16 |

| blurry | hi guys | 12:17 |
| blurry | hope everyone is well | 12:18 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: you could try to guess which packages are faulty and downgrade them. I'd go for the kernel, all hardware abstraction layers stuff and your applications | 12:18 |
| zvacet | PaloAlto : np | 12:18 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: or you could downgrade everything and then upgraade packages you're confident doesn't cause the error | 12:18 |
| olifre | Well, that's kind of... work ^^. | 12:18 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: yeah, I know... | 12:18 |
| chrismir | Hi, I have a new computer with a core 2 quad processor (q6700). What would be the best install disk for it? x86 supported or amd64 supported? | 12:19 |
| AcornAcorn | If i'm trying to add a software source using the software sources manager should i give it "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe" or "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed "? | 12:19 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: it's only intended as a I'm-hellbent-on-fixing-this-fucking-problem solution | 12:19 |
| olifre | Well... then I'll have to wait till there is more time ^^. | 12:19 |
| jonaskoelker | AcornAcorn: the former, I think | 12:19 |
| olifre | Brasero gives me this line: BraseroWodim stderr: Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error | 12:19 |
| blurry | chris, is your proc 64bit? i have a 64bit proc that i could talk to you about | 12:19 |
| fde | chrismir: always i386 | 12:20 |
| vlt | fde: I added a new printer using system settings and restarted evince. But the Print dialog is still not available :( | 12:20 |
| niuq | what is the daemon for power management in ubuntu? | 12:20 |

| Jessica | Hi Guys, I'm in a real bind here. my old webserver worked fine on RH9.2. I upgraded to ubuntu because you all kept ragging on me about security. now my webserver is down in the water. it seems to be a ddclient issue. can someone help? | 12:21 |
| fde | chrismir: on Debian-based, yes. | 12:21 |
| blurry | chrismir: what is your native os? | 12:21 |
| fde | chrismir: and more generally, if it's a desktop, yes | 12:21 |
| chrismir | fde: why is that? Is 64 bit not supported properly | 12:21 |
| chrismir | I'm running linux solely | 12:22 |
| AcornAcorn | erm, i just messed things up, help! | 12:22 |
| jonaskoelker | olifre: google says ubuntuforums says there's a bug filed on it... | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AcornAcorn: what's up ? | 12:22 |
| vlt | fde: Yes, printing from OOo works. | 12:22 |
| blurry | chrismir: linux came with your machine from the shop, or you built yourself? | 12:22 |
| fde | chrismir: it just makes many things more annoying than it has to be... and dpkg doesn't have good multiarch support. | 12:22 |
| AcornAcorn | i closed software sources when it was updating, and now i'm getting errors, when doing sudo apt-get update | 12:22 |
| chrismir | currently running ubuntu 8.04 on a temp partition (32 bit version) | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AcornAcorn: what errors | 12:22 |
| chrismir | installed it my self | 12:22 |
| AcornAcorn | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 12:22 |
| olifre | jonaskoelker: Thanks, I will check again, I had searched for the burn-problem in general before, not with this line. Thanks for your help! | 12:22 |
| fde | vlt: I'd recommend filing a bug on evince then... although epdfview replaces evince, so see if that works first. | 12:23 |
| AcornAcorn | and E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 12:23 |
| jonaskoelker | AcornAcorn: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:23 |
| ikonia | AcornAcorn: do you have any other synmpaitc sessions open | 12:23 |
| blurry | chrismir: what proc do you have? model number or equiv? | 12:23 |
| fde | vlt: The guy that wrote evince left RedHat, so is no longer working on it. | 12:23 |
| AcornAcorn | ikonia: OH! software sources carried on updating even though i closed it, phew | 12:23 |
| chrismir | Generally I'm wondering adding extra juice in my machine by running 64 bit is possible | 12:23 |
| chrismir | blurry: that was in my first line: core 2 quad (q6700) | 12:23 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: Close synaptic or add/remove programs... and ensure update-manager isn't active. | 12:24 |
| PastorBones | how do you uninstall unreal ircd? | 12:24 |
| AcornAcorn | and now i see new updates availiable :D | 12:24 |
| ikonia | chrismir: do you have 4 GB of ram ? | 12:24 |
| chrismir | 3 | 12:24 |
| jonaskoelker | ... question: what software is used when I select full-disk encryption during the installer? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | chrismir: then no | 12:24 |
| fde | chrismir: you won't notice any increase in performance on the desktop at all. | 12:24 |
| vlt | fde: Can you reccommend any other tool to watch TIFF files like evince did (with thumbnails on the left)? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: remove it using synmaptic | 12:24 |
| chrismir | fde: ikonia: thanks. straight and clear answer! ;-) | 12:24 |
| AcornAcorn | fde: i hate gui, can't see what's going on -,- | 12:24 |
| blurry | chrismir: soz, missed that, i have to agree with the others, i run 64bit and i don't notice any improv | 12:25 |
| fde | vlt: epdfview ... it uses poppler which I'm fairly certain does tiff. | 12:25 |
| cousin_luigi | pardon my n00bness, but any idea why the .Trash-root dir points to another volume? | 12:25 |
| blurry | chrismir: only annoying because a lot of pkgs are not in 64bit | 12:25 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: you shouldn't have a root trash | 12:25 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: heh :) | 12:25 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: found it there | 12:26 |
| cousin_luigi | not sure why | 12:26 |
| cousin_luigi | I never login as root | 12:26 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: where did you find it ? | 12:26 |
| cousin_luigi | on a partition | 12:26 |
| PastorBones | ikonia, what is symnaptic? | 12:26 |
| chrismir | blurry: ah, is that still so? I had an amd64 a few years ago, when that was the case. So I wondered if that was solved already. Seems not :) | 12:26 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: what directory | 12:26 |
| kane77 | how can I batch resize images in ubuntu? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: synaptics - the package manager | 12:26 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: .Trash-root | 12:26 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: on what file system is that directory | 12:26 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: ext3 | 12:27 |
| fde | kane77: ImageMagick can do that... I'm not sure the exact command though. | 12:27 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: no - what point of the file system eg: /root | 12:27 |
| PastorBones | I don't have that | 12:27 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: /media/sda6 | 12:27 |
| fde | kane77: uhh... graphicsmagick | 12:27 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: your using ubuntu - not kubuntu yes? | 12:27 |
| Andycas | how to make cifs mounts in fstab timout sooner? When the destination machine is offline, it takes 2 minutes longer to boot up | 12:27 |
| kane77 | fde, ok, thank you.. will have a look at it | 12:27 |
| PastorBones | yep, ubuntu hardy | 12:27 |
| PastorBones | but no graphical | 12:27 |
| AcornAcorn | is there any way to stop update manager from automatically trying to update from hardy-proposed? and is it possible to see which updates are from which source? I don't want to install all 66 updates from proposed, just firefox, and of course i can just unselect the rest, but when it next tries to update it will ask me again :( | 12:27 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: no !, where in your file system /home/steve/test/ is the .Trash-root directory | 12:27 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: the you do have it | 12:27 |
| PastorBones | no I don't | 12:27 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: system -> administrartion -> synaptic package manager | 12:27 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: /media/sda6/.Trash-root | 12:27 |
| PastorBones | ikonia, I'm not using gui | 12:27 |
| blurry | chrismir: heheh it is very tedious, i find the more software releases there are the more often they go down the i386 line, apparently because not so many people have 64bit they don't like spending much time in dev | 12:27 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: why ? | 12:28 |
| chrismir | ok, I will run x86. But IF I was to install a 64bit version (eg. to test on some spare partition), Would the AMD64 version run on Intel's core 2 quad processor? | 12:28 |
| somechap | hey any one from geneva | 12:28 |
| PastorBones | why not? | 12:28 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: that apparently links to /media/sda10 | 12:28 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: either in System > Administration > Software Sources > Update tab ... or comment out the line in /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:28 |
| PastorBones | because it's just a server | 12:28 |
| PastorBones | and it's only a pii 350 | 12:28 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: no idea why that would be a symlink unless your mount points are old installs | 12:28 |
| AcornAcorn | fde: after installing what I want? | 12:28 |
| ikonia | PastorBones: then use apt | 12:28 |
| cousin_luigi | ikonia: it's not a symlink it seems | 12:28 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: yes | 12:28 |
| ikonia | cousin_luigi: what s it then ? | 12:28 |
| ikonia | is | 12:28 |

| sipior | Nate263: is there no hard drive activity? | 12:38 |
| AcornAcorn | fde: but visik7 told me it was in proposed now | 12:38 |
| bdog | will wine run ie7? | 12:38 |
| === lekro_ is now known as lekro | ||
| blurry | nate263: sipior beat me to the question | 12:38 |
| jrib | bakert: note that to get to hardy will take you a very long time: edgy -> feisty -> gutsy -> hardy. So it may be easier faster to backup and reinstall | 12:38 |
| chrismir | If I want to test some distro, what is nowadays the best method? On a seperate partition or through a virtual machine ( if the latter, which vm?) | 12:38 |
| jrib | chrismir: I'd say through a virtual machine, I like virtual box and kvm | 12:38 |
| Nate263 | sipior: What do you mean? How would I know that? (Sorry if that is a stupid question) | 12:38 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: ahh... it appears to be... just sudo aptitude install firefox-3.0 ... it'll grab rc1 | 12:39 |
| sipior | chrismir: virtual machines are vastly simpler. any of them should do just fine | 12:39 |
| blurry | chrismir: depends on what you know, i prefer virtual machine, but lots of people prefer their own apps. | 12:39 |
| bakert | jrib: i only need to get to feisty for now though :) | 12:39 |
| Guest72966 | what program can make a runable script for ubuntu? | 12:39 |
| sipior | Nate263: no worries. there should be a hard drive activity light near the power light on your case. | 12:39 |
| jrib | Guest72966: any text editor you want | 12:39 |
| fde | Guest72966: any text editor. | 12:39 |
| Guest72966 | how do i run it | 12:39 |
| Guest72966 | ? | 12:39 |
| Nate263 | Sipior: Oh, I'll go check | 12:39 |
| fde | Guest72966: make it executeable. | 12:40 |
| Guest72966 | so rename to .exe? | 12:40 |
| blurry | nate263: hard drive activity means your hard drive is doing something, like installing ubuntu in your case, are you on a box or laptop? | 12:40 |
| fde | Guest72966: no... chmod +x thefile | 12:40 |
| jrib | Guest72966: use chmod to give yourself executable permissions. No renaming necessary | 12:40 |
| fde | Guest72966: or just sh thefile | 12:41 |
| lewisbeechey | Hey, could anyone help me with my wireless problem i have with Ubuntu? My laptop is a Compaq 6720s. I have no idea what i'm looking for to get the wireless working but at the minute it just gives me this: http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/4/5/30/f_Screenshotm_93b41d0.png | 12:41 |
| chrismir | jrib: sipior: blurry: thanks. I'll look into that. In the past I had bad experience with VM's, I hope they're improved in usability and stability. | 12:41 |
| bakert | jrib: old-releases seems to work well | 12:41 |
| sipior | chrismir: they definitely have! | 12:41 |
| bakert | jrib: thanks! | 12:41 |
| Nate263 | blurry: box, and sipior the light is not flashing at all. I don't think I have even started installing it yet because I haven't even gotten to the partition options and all that. | 12:41 |
| jrib | chrismir: virtual box works really well and has a nice gui | 12:41 |
| blurry | chrismir: they are almost as good, and in some cases just as good as the real thing these days, i use them all the time. love em | 12:41 |
| jrib | chrismir: and it's in the repositories! | 12:42 |
| sipior | Nate263: are you sure you double-clicked the install icon? has the machine locked up? | 12:42 |
| lhgergo | hi | 12:42 |
| lhgergo | how can i run boinc on xubuntu 8.04 | 12:42 |
| chrismir | jrib: Cool. Will install and test it after lunch | 12:42 |
| chrismir | great thanks people | 12:42 |
| blurry | chrismir: anytime mate, take care | 12:42 |
| Dr_willis | Guest72966, thers dozens of scripting languages out for Linux, or you can script using the bash shell. check out the 'advanced bash scripting guide' for example of bash scripts. | 12:43 |
| AcornAcorn | fde: yay it's updating! seems to be updating a couple of other things too though, is it just updating things relevant to firefox? | 12:43 |
| zSoilworker | !ask | 12:43 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 12:43 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: yup | 12:44 |
| === staar2 is now known as staar88 | ||
| Nate263 | sipior: This is what happened, I pressed F12 to boot from cd and the options to install, test out ubuntu, test the cd for errors and all that came up. I selected install and it froze up after showing the image that I'm guessing is the default Ubuntu desktop background. | 12:44 |
| blurry | nate263: interesting, seems it has locked up. how old is that machine your trialing on? | 12:44 |
| === staar88 is now known as staar2 | ||
| lewisbeechey | anybody? | 12:44 |
| AcornAcorn | fde: what's yelp? | 12:44 |
| visik7 | aahah which wonderfull features vista has that compiz hasn't ? | 12:44 |
| Nate263 | blurry: a few years, it's a Dell inspiron 3000 | 12:44 |
| Mulder | what do i need to do for sound to work in a hardy chroot? | 12:44 |
| AcornAcorn | fde: error reporting? | 12:44 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: something that uses xulrunner, which was updated, so was required to be rebuilt... | 12:44 |
| fde | AcornAcorn: no... the help browser. | 12:44 |
| AcornAcorn | ah ok :P | 12:45 |
| sipior | Nate263: try selecting "test out ubuntu" and then try the install from there, once the desktop comes up | 12:45 |
| mon | Hi, i've got a pc with fresh Hardy install. NetworkManager (or a manual dhclient) can't get an IP from my router. what should i do? | 12:45 |
| sipior | mon: i assume you've verified that the machine can connect via dhpc under another operating system. does it work with the live CD? | 12:46 |
| Mulder | visik7, "lag" | 12:46 |
| Mulder | more of it at least | 12:46 |
| Nate263 | sipior: tried that and this time it froze up after showing an error screen saying that the GNOME Daemon settings engine couldn't start. | 12:46 |
| Nate263 | blurry: it's a dimension 3000 actually but I doubt that matters | 12:46 |
| Nix3r | can any one whois me and tell what he gets? | 12:46 |
| sipior | Nate263: huh, bizarre. | 12:47 |
| visik7 | Mulder: sorry ? | 12:47 |
| === dotech_ is now known as dotech | ||
| AcornAcorn | is there any way to set software sources to only update a specific program from a specific source? | 12:47 |
| hirak99 | 3000 dimension? | 12:47 |
| mon | sipior: it was installed and upgraded in another place, so the hardware works if that's what you're getting at | 12:47 |
| hirak99 | so many dimensions exist? | 12:47 |
| blurry | nate263: interesting, i have never seen that before, have you tried any other distros? | 12:47 |
| tyberion | can anyone tell me why I cannot run "gedit" anymore.. nuffing appears when I open it :( | 12:47 |
| visik7 | AcornAcorn: pin the repo | 12:47 |
| === dino_ is now known as Meaw | ||
| hirak99 | i thought there are 4 | 12:47 |
| sipior | mon: no, i was getting at whether the router is configured to dispense an ip address to a new mac address :-) | 12:47 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: pin the repo? | 12:47 |
| hirak99 | 3000 dimensions will be pretty complicated | 12:47 |
| mon | sipior: my older ubuntu pc got an ip right away | 12:48 |
| visik7 | AcornAcorn: man apt_preferences | 12:48 |
| Nate263 | blurry: No I haven't. This is one of these times when it feels like the computer almost doesn't want to work. | 12:48 |
| sipior | mon: that's what i mean: the router may not be willing to dispense an ip address if it sees a new MAC on the line | 12:48 |
| muksie | Does anyone know if it is possible to run a dos program which communicates over an serial port with some piece of old hardware under wine? (Or another DOS-emulator?) | 12:48 |
| sipior | mon: you might try power-cycling the router, and see if it works then | 12:49 |
| tyberion | what can I do if nothing happens when I try to run 'gedit'??? no error message.. nuffing :( | 12:49 |
| mon | sipior: guess i'll try that and maybe the livecd. thanks | 12:49 |
| AcornAcorn | visik7: how come i don't see the hardy-proposed source on the software sources program? | 12:49 |
| visik7 | AcornAcorn: read the man pages | 12:49 |
| blurry | nate263: maybe try another debian distro to see what happens? | 12:50 |
| Nate263 | blurry: I'll try that. Thanks for your help sipior and blurry. | 12:51 |
| manoff | i have some old device that connects to PS/2 port and some closed source win32 app to operate with it. can you tell me any software that can sniff the communication between this device and app? | 12:51 |
| blurry | nate263: no worries mate, let me know how you get on, ubuntu is worth it once you get it going. | 12:52 |
| tdawgedogg | in terminal how do i get a list of all my drives that are connected....like dev/sda1 ect..... | 12:52 |
| sipior | tdawgedogg: "mount" | 12:52 |
| tdawgedogg | thanks | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | tdawgedogg, 'sudo fdisk -l ' will show all drives and all filesystems on them.. 'mount' shows all mounted filesystems | 12:53 |
| ottoshmidt | hi all, how do I start any of my apps from terminal? | 12:53 |
| Nate263 | blurry: I know. I'm running Windows on the laptop I'm typing on but I'm seriously considering switching over to Ubuntu despite these experiencex. See ya later. | 12:53 |
| manoff | any ideas? | 12:53 |
| tdawgedogg | dr_willis: my problem is i have 6 drives that are not showing up and i think i need to add them to fstab....but i need to find there locations like /dev/sdg1 ect | 12:54 |
| erUSUL | tdawgedogg: ls -al /dev/disk/by-id/* | 12:54 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: you just write the name and hit enter | 12:54 |
| ottoshmidt | ok thanks | 12:54 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: like "gedit" | 12:54 |
| manoff | try it | 12:54 |
| sipior | manoff: you can try running the application in a virtual machine, and then using strace to intercept the relevant system calls. i suggest a hefty use of grep here ;-) | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | tdawgedogg, use sudo fdisk -l , and see whats where.. Theres some gui tools to help in mounting also. but i never use the gui tools for it. | 12:54 |
| manoff | sipior: aha | 12:54 |
| manoff | sipior: virtualization is completely new to me | 12:55 |
| sipior | manoff: the system calls will be translated by the VM, but if you're only trying to work out the communcation protocol, it should do | 12:55 |
| manoff | sipior: is there really no other way, like "tcpdump" but with PS/2? | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | tdawgedogg, erUSUL 's suggestion is good also. :) with the fstab , you really 'should' be mounting filesystems based on their UUID not their /dev/hd## type address any more | 12:55 |
| icqnumber | how big is kubuntu-desktop (packages)? | 12:55 |
| manoff | sipior: ok | 12:55 |
| ottoshmidt | and how start calculator from terminal? | 12:56 |
| sipior | manoff: well, all the writes are just system calls... | 12:56 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: what is the binary name of your calculator? | 12:56 |
| ottoshmidt | how do I know? | 12:56 |
| tdawgedogg | dr_willis: how do i find the uuid number? | 12:56 |
| manoff | sipior: i was looking for some command line tool such as "tcpdump" but which works with ps/2 instead, but i guess there is none :/ | 12:56 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: then i cant help you either | 12:57 |
| sipior | manoff: strace | grep ;-) | 12:57 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: you obviously need to know the name of the program you want to execute | 12:57 |
| manoff | but i think if you have gnome, then try "gcalc" or something | 12:57 |
| manoff | i dont have gnome | 12:57 |
| manoff | sipior: ok cool | 12:57 |
| manoff | sipior: i will seek into it | 12:57 |
| sipior | manoff: have fun | 12:57 |
| manoff | thanks for the advice | 12:58 |
| tdawgedogg | erUSUL: i did that and it showed like 30 different lines... i only have like 6 drives...showed some of the drives like 5 times | 12:58 |
| ottoshmidt | manoff: where can I see that? | 12:58 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: i cant help you, i dont use graphical user interface stuff | 12:58 |
| ottoshmidt | ah | 12:59 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: try "gcalc" | 12:59 |
| manoff | or "gcalculator" | 12:59 |
| t0th_- | hello | 12:59 |
| ottoshmidt | gcalc is wrong :(( | 12:59 |

| t0th_- | how to add emoticon in pidgin? | 13:00 |
| manoff | ottoshmidt: no problems | 13:00 |
| manoff | bing: what ubuntu version? | 13:00 |
| manoff | bing: 8.04? | 13:00 |
| bing | 8.04 | 13:00 |
| manoff | bing: you can try correct the WLAN by connecting with LAN first and have your update manager synch with repositories | 13:01 |
| manoff | bing: it might find you a suitable driver, it worked for me | 13:01 |
| bing | ok | 13:01 |
| bing | ill try that now | 13:01 |
| bing | 1 min | 13:01 |
| manoff | bing: so, connect with LAN, play around with internet for while, and you might get notified by the system that new updates are available for you | 13:01 |
| manoff | bing: deleting vista cant be resolved by anything else than reinstalling it | 13:02 |
| blurry | if something says to ucode something what does that mean? | 13:02 |

| maek | a question: Is there any .deb file for Firefox 3 RC1 on Gusty ?? | 13:03 |
| |mario| | hey there. i am trying to install ubuntu8.04 with the normal cd. but i am always getting either a kernel panic or a error like error_code+0x72/0x80 | 13:03 |
| |mario| | The cd even does not boot into live system | 13:03 |
| |mario| | its halting inbetween telling me that something is wrong with the fs | 13:03 |
| |mario| | kernel panic is telling me something about vfs not syncing etc... | 13:03 |
| FloodBot3 | |mario|: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:03 |
| hirak99 | why did you delete vista? | 13:03 |
| |mario| | anyone any idea how i can solve thaT? | 13:03 |
| |mario| | another error is segfault at foo ... error 4 | 13:03 |
| hirak99 | not that it's a bad thing... | 13:03 |
| |mario| | ubuntuusers didnt really helped me with that | 13:03 |
| tritonx | mario: have you tried the memory test ? | 13:03 |

| |mario| | its halting inbetween telling me that something is wrong with the fs | 13:05 |

| manoff | |mario|: report a bug | 13:05 |
| |mario| | nah it booted correctly once | 13:05 |
| tdawgedogg | /dev/sda1 /mnt/media ntfs users,defaults,umask=000 0 0 | 13:05 |
| tdawgedogg | does this mean im mounting the drive to /media? | 13:05 |
| hirak99 | |mario|: either the cd is bad, or there is a bug in the ubuntu 8.04 causing this | 13:05 |
| |mario| | then during install i think something went wrong | 13:05 |
| charliecb | i want to download my photos from an canon ixus 80 with nautilus. since gnome 2.22, there should be an option for gphoto2. enter in nautilus gphoto2:// . but that doesn't work. i can import photos, but i can't use nautilus to see all photos from the camera. | 13:06 |
| hirak99 | 3rd possibility is that your config is faulty | 13:06 |
| |mario| | can i repair the hdd with the live cd? | 13:06 |
| hirak99 | but if it's a memory problem i'd expect the error not to be exactly the same everytime | 13:06 |
| manoff | tdawgedogg: no to /mnt/media | 13:06 |
| peternix | what is the canonical graph visualization software for linux? | 13:07 |
| hirak99 | |mario|: if i recall correctly the cd has a self diagnostic in the menu... does the menu appear at all? | 13:07 |
| charliecb | see http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/index.html.de (and search for gphoto2:// ) | 13:07 |
| Frozenball | How do I change the default browser in KDE? | 13:07 |
| peternix | there's graphviz and others | 13:07 |
| Frozenball | It's annoying when links in Xchat open Konqueror instead of Firefox | 13:07 |
| * peternix wants the canonical one | 13:07 | |
| |mario| | yes | 13:07 |
| charliecb | peternix: http://www.graphviz.org/ | 13:07 |
| peternix | right | 13:07 |
| peternix | that's what I downloaded, cool | 13:07 |
| backslash7 | Frozenball: sudo update-alternatives | 13:07 |
| backslash7 | sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser I guess | 13:08 |
| tdawgedogg | manoff: if i want it to just mount to media then do i take out the /mnt part and just put /media? | 13:08 |
| peternix | btw, anyone know if ubuntu's default encryption + lvm install includes swap? | 13:08 |
| Frozenball | Sounds suspicious | 13:08 |
| peternix | I did a default encryption + lvm install | 13:08 |
| bing | is there anyway to reinstall windows if ive deleted the partiton i had it in | 13:08 |
| manoff | tdawgedogg: yea | 13:08 |
| Frozenball | Why would you need to root access to change the default browser | 13:08 |
| Frozenball | Linux is, as far as I know, multi-user system | 13:08 |
| |mario| | as i said hirak99 it booted once and i was able to install the system. but then something went wrong. the system froze. now i am getting kernel panic about vfs not syncing, and i am also getting segfault at fooo ... error 4 | 13:08 |
| tdawgedogg | manoff: i dont even think /mount/media exists....does the directory have to exist before i mount it there or will it just auto make the directory? | 13:08 |
| backslash7 | uuuh so no sudo whatever... Frozenball | 13:09 |
| |mario| | i am not sure why. i just want to boot the live system to install the system. | 13:09 |

| manoff | a7c: i think linux is good but it has its problems of course | 13:12 |
| plutarcus | i've installed the last ati driver and all it's ok, but when i start compiz, appears a "strip" that covers the down part of desktop | 13:13 |
| plutarcus | sorry for my english =) | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | a7c, blame the wireless chipset makers for not releasing specs. - Heck.. Im lucky to get wireless working under windows half the time.. :P | 13:13 |
| manoff | yeah | 13:15 |
| bing | ok how do i acess my recovery drive or have i deleted that to when i installed ubuntu | 13:15 |
| manoff | bing: recovery drive? | 13:15 |
| bing | yeah i had a recovery drive for vista | 13:15 |
| bing | but i think i formatted over that also | 13:16 |
| manoff | sipior: are you still here? | 13:16 |
| sipior | manoff: yes, i am | 13:16 |
| bing | THIS DAY IS A DISASTER | 13:16 |

| vlt | fde: I installed epdfview but when trying to open a file I get "Failed to load document '/home/dm/foo.tif'. No error." | 13:16 |
| manoff | sipior: and its has GUI interface and i dont even have X installed | 13:17 |
| m1r | manoff: what app? | 13:17 |
| sipior | manoff: well, you can try running it under wine. or have a go with any number of virtual machines under linux. you will need X installed for the gui though... | 13:17 |
| manoff | yeah... | 13:18 |
| plutarcus | i've installed the last ati driver and all it's ok, but when i start compiz, appears a "strip" that covers the down part of desktop | 13:18 |
| manoff | m1r: im just having some old device that connects to PS/2 and closed source win app to operate with it, im trying to solve the protocol these two communicate with | 13:18 |
| Dr_willis | bing, try 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what partitions are still on your drives. for my system. there was a grub boot entry for both the vista , and the recovery 'partition' | 13:18 |
| manoff | m1r: any ideas? | 13:18 |
| manoff | m1r: i would need some sort of PS/2 packet sniffer | 13:18 |
| m1r | manoff: ouch :/ | 13:19 |
| manoff | m1r: indeed | 13:19 |

| Viden | Good morning all ... I have a question about the update-manager. This morning it is showing updates for evolution, which I have purged from my system. Does anyone know why these updates would be showing still, even with evolution gone? | 13:24 |
| _adriaan | killall gnome-panel | 13:24 |
| _adriaan | oh damnit | 13:24 |
| sipior | Viden: might be that another package expects to see it there. isn't evolution required for ubuntu-desktop? | 13:24 |
| sriramoman | killall -9 gnome-panel | 13:24 |
| sriramoman | for force | 13:24 |
| _adriaan | nevermind, was simply meant to be typed in another window :) | 13:25 |
| Viden | sipior .. not sure if its required for ubuntu-desktop .. that might be it. Its a POS though and just eating space on this machine, so i really just want it gone. Can i blacklist it from updates ? | 13:25 |
| tyberion | sipior: yeah that worx.. | 13:25 |
| tyberion | sipior: so i just need to get rid of some user specified file?? | 13:26 |
| sipior | Viden: i agree with you about evolution, but a blacklist might make more trouble in the future... | 13:26 |
| sipior | tyberion: interesting. do you have a .Xauthority file in your home directory. and, if so, who is the owner? | 13:26 |
| a7c | how do I know which of these (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware) drivers is the one for my darn wlan card? | 13:27 |
| tyberion | sipior: yeah ive got one... uhrm its my user | 13:27 |

| a7c | i had issues with the darn dniswrapper | 13:30 |
| tyberion | gksudo: invalid option -- o | 13:30 |
| a7c | it would show my wireless card as active and wonderful, but it wouldn't show up in network options | 13:30 |
| tyberion | sipior: i dont have strace:( | 13:31 |
| sipior | tyberion: now's a good time to install it...sudo apt-get install strace | 13:31 |
| Viden | a7c: i was only able to get 2mb using the cutter, but you can just install it at sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter. It will walk you through an install | 13:31 |

| avippy | There used to be this neat graphics and displays tool in the old Ubuntu. | 13:38 |
| avippy | Where did it go? | 13:38 |

| Odd-rationale | mohamed_: what application is that? | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | mohamed_ | 14:16 |
| ubottu | mohamed_: 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 | 14:16 |
| beyta | hello guys... anyway i have a problem to setup my bluetooth hardware on my notebook.. anybody can help me? | 14:17 |
| mohamed_ | Odd-rationale: is elisa mediacenter | 14:17 |

| Odd-rationale | mohamed_: you can use the alternative cd and install a command line system | 14:17 |
| Jessica | amenado: could you help me decypher this mess that strace gave me? | 14:18 |
| Odd-rationale | mohamed_: the mini.iso will simply download all the packages during install... whether you want ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or cli... | 14:18 |

| mohamed_ | Odd-rationale: i can't install mini and application i want and its lib only ? | 14:19 |
| amenado | beyta it may help a bit better if you google for the how to bluetooth + ubuntu and then if you get stuck following one, come here then..but get yourself started first | 14:20 |
| Odd-rationale | mohamed_: you can install a command line system and install whatever you need on top of that. | 14:20 |
| pepe_ur | hi, i'm trying to install update-manager-core to a dapper system. but `apt-get install update-manager-core` wants me to insert the 'Ubuntu-Server 6.06.1 _Dapper Drake' CD. well i can't do that, since the machine is 1000km away. how can I get apt to download this package | 14:20 |
| sipior | tyberion: as a last resort, you could try removing every bit of .gnome crap from your home directory. i hesitate to suggest that, since it means resetting every preference you may have established | 14:20 |
| Pramod_Helios | How can i do a file hosting from my ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| bazhang | pepe_ur, remove cd from sources.list | 14:21 |
| bimble | is anyone running secondlife? and can give me a clue how to start it under gnome? (mince complains a .kde directory is missing) | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | pepe_ur: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the cd as repo reload (apt-get update) and install | 14:21 |
| Odd-rationale | mohamed_: you need the alternative cd to do. just on the boot menu, press f4 or something for further options. select, "install command line system" | 14:21 |
| sipior | tyberion: so .gnome2 and .gnome_private, at least | 14:21 |
| Pramod_Helios | how can i turn my ubuntu into an ftp server? | 14:21 |

| tyberion | sipior: hmm ok ill give that a try in a sec | 14:22 |
| amenado | beyta i dont have a bluetooth, however if you narrow the problem to some specifics, some people here might know, so try narrow it down where it fails | 14:22 |
| sipior | tyberion: just be careful with the deleting, and make sure your own data are safe :-) | 14:22 |

| JoeWendell | If I have an Atheros based wirefless card, how do I use MadWifi to get it working? Does Madwifi come with Hardy or do I need to install it? My chip is AR5416, so do I need to get a special driver for it? | 14:23 |
| mohamed_ | i'm here amenado :) | 14:23 |
| amenado | mohamed_-> you boot from a livecd, create an ext3 partition | 14:23 |
| magnetron | JoeWendell: madwifi is installed automatically in hardy | 14:23 |

| bazhang | mike168, we need a question :) | 14:27 |

| Jessica | The question: ddclient reports "last updated <never> but last update XXXXX failed" in the daemon.log | 14:27 |
| sipior | perillux: under bash, the first arguement is stored in $1, the second in $2, etcetera | 14:28 |
| Jessica | it doesn't give me any more detail as to why it failed. | 14:28 |
| perillux | amenado: I mean like, in the actual script, how do I recieve those arguments to use them in the script | 14:28 |
| rayondeson | vxd2: check the logs then. While you're unsure whether or not you've been hacked, you should disconnect physically. | 14:28 |
| perillux | sipior: ok thank you :) that seems easy enough | 14:28 |
| amenado | perillux-> per sipior you refer to them as $1 $2 | 14:28 |
| vxd2 | rayondeson: what string should i look for in maillog?> | 14:28 |

| bazhang | Jessica, what are you trying to accomplish could you please clarify | 14:29 |
| amenado | perillux-> then if you want to get fancy.. getopts and getopt are bash commands you can use to manipulate them | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | Jessica: sudo dpkg-reconfigure ddclient | 14:29 |
| JoeWendell | erUSUL: Since there seems to be disagreement, how do I know if madwifi is installed or not? What do I check? | 14:29 |
| codecaine | perillux you pass a argument for example ./myscript arg1 arg2 | 14:29 |

My question: I could try hibernate on Ubuntu 32 bit, Debian 64 bit but not Ubuntu 64 bit. I don't know why. | 14:30 |

| dustrial | eric =>>>>>>>>>> solution was to install hardy on a nother partition and to copy the kernel module from the fresh install into my upgraded system ! | 14:34 |
| JoeWendell | amenado: OK if I have madwifi, how do I know what module to "modprobe" to get my wireless set-up? | 14:34 |

| eric | dustrial : I already uninstalled all kernel modules and reinstalled them all, it should be the same... | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | mistermocha: yes when they reach end of live they do | 14:35 |
| mistermocha | my web server is still running edgy | 14:35 |

| mistermocha | erUSUL: thanks for the update... | 14:36 |
| dustrial | eric => i dont know, the "no sound after upgrade" was a huge issue .... there must be a lot of bug reports and forum entries | 14:36 |

| HiTo | How can I try to rebuild/recover a destroyed ext2 partition if testdisk find some superblocks ? any idea ? | 14:37 |
| JoeWendell | dustrial:That's probably because you need to give it a full path to bash in your script--maybe try #!/media/sdaX/bin/bash for example, giviing it your other HD path of course. | 14:37 |
| sipior | Jessica: by the way, can you try running it with: "ddclient -daemon=0 -noquiet -debug"? | 14:37 |

| rayondeson | st1100pilot: no need to upgrade -- do a parallel installation (sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0) | 14:44 |
| bazhang | moshe, could you pastebin your sources.list please? | 14:45 |
| st1100pilot | rayondeson: Thanks! | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | moshe Please understand... you need to go to the people that support your distro or release | 14:45 |
| a7c | is anyone willing to take me through a step-by-step install of ndiswrapper? I think i'm doing it wrong. | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg What did you want to do with your fstab | 14:46 |
| Pramod_Helios | i have just installed vstpd... | 14:46 |
| clemyeats | moshe: you mean the download packages by APT? | 14:46 |
| Pramod_Helios | can anyone tell me how to use the application? | 14:46 |
| kane77 | jrib, nice.. I wouldn't think of that.. (in fact I'm not good with bash).. one more question how would you print out something in a way that there will not be newline after each echo? | 14:46 |
| tdawgedogg | Jack_Sparrow: i just wanna make all my hard drives mount on boot | 14:46 |
| Dillizar | this maybe a stupid question BUT can the updates make my PC runs slower?? | 14:46 |
| Jessica | Sipior: DEBUG: get_ip: using if, eth0 reports 10.0.0.250 / DEBUG: / DEBUG: nic_zoneedit1_update ------------------- | 14:46 |
| moshe | http://pastebin.com/m56032f05 | 14:46 |
| a7c | dillizar: that isnt a stupid question, and it's doubtful | 14:47 |
| jrib | kane77: echo -n (see man echo) | 14:47 |
| codecaine | a7c its in the respirtory ubuntu will install it for you | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 14:47 |
| a7c | codecaine: wth is a respirtory? | 14:47 |
| Dillizar | a7c: why its doubtful | 14:47 |
| Pramod_Helios | Does some1 use the vstpd here???? | 14:47 |
| Pramod_Helios | Does some1 use the vsftpd here???? | 14:47 |
| snadge | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/219263 .. has anyone else experienced the issue installing hardy where storing languages seems to either freeze, or take forever to complete? | 14:48 |
| sipior | Jessica: the ip address of your ethernet card is a non-routable Class A. are you behind a nat router? | 14:48 |
| GibbaTheHutt | I do, what problem Pramod_Helios | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pramod_Helios We see the question, please hold down the repeats | 14:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 219263 in ubuntu "Ubuntu Server 8.04 Beta freezes during installation at 75%" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 14:48 |
| a7c | dillizar: it wouldn't be much of an update if it made your computer worse, would it? | 14:48 |
| erUSUL | Pramod_Helios: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-vsftpd-ftp-service-server/ | 14:48 |
| Dillizar | cuz when i used Windows they did make it duns slower a7c | 14:48 |
| Jessica | sipior: yes | 14:48 |
| Pramod_Helios | yeah sorry... was correcting the "vsFtpd" :$ | 14:48 |
| a7c | dillizar: that's windows, they're just interested in making money and protecting their money-making ability. they don't give a rats ass about performance | 14:48 |
| tdawgedogg | Jack_Sparrow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5077654#post5077654 | 14:48 |
| a7c | dillizar: linux however, is user-run, so performance is all that matters | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dillizar Actually updates could crashyour entire system if you add unsupported oddball repos to your sources list.. | 14:49 |
| Dillizar | a7c: you are right a7c | 14:49 |
| sipior | Jessica: you'll need to feed ddclient the ip address of the internet side of your router, since you're trying to update your dns record to point to an address that can be routed | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg Paste what I gave you into a term and run it please | 14:49 |
| tdawgedogg | k | 14:49 |
| Dillizar | Jack_Sparrow: wow i better change my updates setings | 14:50 |
| sipior | Jessica: it's a bit like trying to update your dns entry to point to "127.0.0.1", and ddclient is smart enough to catch the error | 14:50 |
| Jessica | sipior: ddclient used to be able to determine that outside address on it's own. my previous eth0 was 10.0.0.253, and it had no probs | 14:50 |
| a7c | afk | 14:50 |
| tdawgedogg | Jack_Sparrow: whats the exact command u want me to put in terminal? | 14:50 |
| sipior | Jessica: i don't know what to tell you | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit | 14:50 |
| eric | dustrial and everyone : hmm, very strange, linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic has only two sound kernel modules, while linux-image-2.6.24-11-generic has tons of them. Have they migrated to another package ? | 14:50 |
| Jessica | ok | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dillizar Just think twice about unsupported repos | 14:51 |
| xx_BuNcH_xx | hi | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hello | 14:51 |
| xx_BuNcH_xx | olla | 14:51 |
| sipior | Jessica: if you have the old configuration file, trying using that | 14:51 |
| Jessica | sipior, i did that | 14:52 |
| tdawgedogg | Jack_Sparrow: ok a partition_Layout.txt appeared on the desktop now | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | eric: find /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic -name '*snd*' | wc -l --> 116 | 14:52 |
| Dillizar | Jack_Sparrow: what bout third party softwear?? | 14:52 |
| sipior | Jessica: also, have you changed your router configuration at all since the last time it worked? | 14:52 |
| mohkohn | I am trying to connect ubuntu hardy and vista in an adhoc network | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg You should have gotten a pastebin link in your term | 14:52 |
| mohkohn | ubuntu is the gateway wimax coming into eth0. wireless out to wlan0 | 14:53 |
| eric | erusul : just tried on -11 version, got 231, will do on -17 version now | 14:53 |
| tdawgedogg | Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f6aae7cb5 | 14:53 |
| Jessica | sipior, i changed the virual bridge to point to the new ip, but that is all | 14:53 |
| xx_BuNcH_xx | hi ladies | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dillizar depends.. medibuntu etc is fine.. debian repos and debs off the web.. can be bad news.. | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xx_BuNcH_xx Did you have a support question | 14:53 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | xx_BuNcH_xx | 14:53 |
| ubottu | xx_BuNcH_xx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:53 |
| Dillizar | i will stick to the official webing | 14:53 |
| syntax__ | where is the sudousers file located? | 14:54 |
| LeeJunFan | any idea why a script in cron.monthly would have run this morning when the date on the server is correct? | 14:54 |
| eric | erusul and dustrial : was a pilot error, I was looking in the wrong place, sorry | 14:54 |
| sipior | syntax__: /etc/sudoers | 14:54 |
| tdawgedogg | Jack_Sparrow: if u could write me out a fstab i would be forever thankful! | 14:54 |
| ompaul | syntax__, in /etc/ | 14:54 |
| mohkohn | My iwconfig and ifconfig on ubuntu are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15793/ | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg Look in that file while I read through it.. I may have questions | 14:54 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow should i PM you? | 14:55 |
| a7c | If I run 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit system, are there any potential issues? | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg no need.. | 14:55 |
| sipior | Jessica: so you're not using a natting router? | 14:55 |
| codecaine | a7c not at all | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | a7c: no | 14:55 |
| Kartagis | why doesn't ubuntu repos have vmware? | 14:55 |
| LeeJunFan | a7c: no, and youre probably better off than the issues of running 64bit. | 14:55 |
| mohkohn | I plan to make the static IP for the other vista machine: 192.168.0.5. What should my Default gateway be? | 14:55 |
| sipior | Kartagis: because it's not freely available? | 14:55 |
| kane77 | a7c, no, unless you have >4GB of ram.. | 14:55 |
| a7c | I'm pretty sure i have 1.9g ram...any way for me to check? | 14:56 |
| Jessica | sipior, i'm using a router with port forwarding capabilities. I'm forwarding 80 to that non-routable IP behind the router | 14:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg What distro are you running that generated that fstab? | 14:56 |
| erUSUL | !vmware | Kartagis vmware is not free software | 14:56 |
| ubottu | Kartagis vmware is not free software: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 14:56 |
| mohkohn | Kartagis, it is proprietary software. Canonical have Parallells | 14:56 |
| sipior | Jessica: does your router support ddns internally? might be easier to go that route | 14:56 |
| LeeJunFan | a7c: open a shell and run 'free' | 14:56 |
| LeeJunFan | a7c: err, you're probably on windows now? | 14:57 |
| Kartagis | damn! i use hardy | 14:57 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_Sparrow: i acutally made that fstab on my own but i obviously did it wrong.....anyways im using hardy 8.04 | 14:57 |
| a7c | leejunfan: nvm...says it right on the box, lol | 14:57 |
| Jessica | sipior, shame, but no it does not | 14:57 |
| a7c | running off to download the 32-bit version -.- | 14:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg Look for a backup fstab in /etc/ | 14:57 |
| bazhang | Kartagis, vmware-server is in canonical repo | 14:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg Yo have not rebooted since you made that fstab have you | 14:58 |
| nk_x | I'm trying to get my laptop to connect to a wireless network using a noname pcmcia card. The card shows up on lshw, but it's not in my network device list. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? | 14:58 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: yeah i rebooted....before there some auto generated crap from ntfs-config or something that didnt work either | 14:58 |
| codecaine | a7c cat /proc/meminof | grep -i memtotal | 14:58 |
| sipior | Jessica: another possibility is to configure the router as a bridge, i suppose | 14:58 |
| codecaine | so exactly how much you have | 14:58 |
| codecaine | show you | 14:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg look for our original fstab | 14:59 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: what would that be named? | 14:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg fstab.something | 14:59 |
| tehniobium | hi all | 14:59 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: if you do "sudo lshw -C network" what is the card/chipset? Please pastebin your results. | 15:00 |
| sipior | Jessica: this is a cable modem or the like that we're talking about, right? or a proper router? | 15:00 |
| tehniobium | i just broke my windows boot...by installing xubuntu - is it possible to get help with trying to fix that, here? | 15:00 |
| Jessica | sipior: perhaps, but my concern is taking the config even farther from the one I knew was working. right now, i've only changed the IPs in the router, and the webserver behind it. It seems that the webserver config is causing the problems. | 15:00 |
| Steve-Cal | tehniobium: What exactly is the problem? Please describe. | 15:01 |
| Jessica | sipior, it's a adsl modem / router | 15:01 |
| ghome | test | 15:01 |
| tehniobium | when i choose windows XP from the GRUB menu, windows gives me the "safe mode / normal mode" screen | 15:01 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: I can't paste since I'm on another pc, but under product it says "88w8335 [Libertas]" and the vendor is Marvell | 15:01 |
| tehniobium | when i choose any one of them, my pc reboots | 15:01 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: http://pastebin.org/39709 | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tehniobium sudo apt-get install pastebinit && fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 15:02 |
| tehniobium | ok | 15:02 |
| tehniobium | thankyou | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg better one sec | 15:02 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: Well your in luck then--I know for sure that chipset works with ndiswrapper. Do you need help getting it going with ndiswrapper? | 15:02 |
| sipior | Jessica: you mentioned earlier that you had changed the ip address of the bridge. what did you meant by that, precisely? | 15:02 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: Do you have a link to a tutorial or something like that? | 15:03 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: I think the original worked ok...but it was weird the files wouldnt automount....like if i went to my computer they were there....but they wouldnt show up on the desktop until i opened them....so if i had a fileshare up, i wouldnt be able to access these files till i double clicked the folder on startup....if that makes sense | 15:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg For starters you need to make a mount point for each partition you want to mount like this sudo mkdir /media/sde1 or use a more descriptive name like /media/ntfs-music | 15:04 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: And I'd need to get the drivers somewhere first, right? | 15:04 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: so basically i need to automount them | 15:04 |
| Jessica | sipior: I somewhat misspoke. I had said "virtual server". I meant "virtual bridge". All I did was point port 80 from the old machine to the new machine | 15:04 |
| a7c | is ubuntu.8.04-desktop-i386.iso the 32-bit version of Ubuntu HH? | 15:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg I understand.. see mkdir above | 15:04 |
| Lynet | Jessica: Does it work if you add -use=web at the ddclient command line? | 15:04 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: I guess not, but I can lead you through it if you like. And yes, you need the Windows wireless drivers, but I can help with that--you have exactly the same chipset 88w8335 as I do so I could send them to you if you like. | 15:05 |
| perillux | when using the "echo" command how can I add a bunch of white space or a tab? because if I do "echo 1 2" the output will appear as "1 2" instead of "1 2" | 15:05 |
| bazhang | a7c, yes | 15:05 |
| a7c | thanks much | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | perillux: \t is a tab | 15:05 |
| Jessica | lynet: haven't tried. i'll do so now | 15:05 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: I cant mount more than one drive at a mountpoint? | 15:05 |
| sipior | Lynet: well spotted! | 15:05 |
| perillux | erUSUL: I tried that and it just showed up as "1 t 2" | 15:05 |
| eric | everyone : I am still stuck with my sound problem.... :-( | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | perillux: echo 'a\tb' | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg no | 15:06 |
| perillux | erSUL: ok I'll try it thanx | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg one mountpoint for each partition in your list | 15:06 |
| tehniobium | http://pastebin.com/m25f27a40 | 15:06 |
| Ienorand | How can you change the password for unlocking a specific wireless network to something else than root password? so that I can connect to it without using root pwd? | 15:06 |
| Jessica | lynet: it barfed with the warning to "waigt 5 minutes before updating" | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tehniobium one sec | 15:06 |
| tehniobium | thanks | 15:06 |
| Pici | perillux: echo -e will enable interpretation of escape sequences | 15:06 |
| perillux | erUSUL: nope, my output was just "a\tb" | 15:06 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: Yes, that'd be great! | 15:07 |
| sipior | Jessica: Lynet: well, that's progress, surely ;-) | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | perillux: are you using sigle quotes? double quotes make scaping useless | 15:07 |
| Jessica | sipior: we'll see... | 15:07 |
| Jessica | *smiles* | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tehniobium The good news is it does not look like you erased windows | 15:07 |
| Lynet | sipior: Jessica: Well, getting a different error message is always progress. ;-p | 15:07 |
| tdawgedogg | jack_sparrow: Im gonna edit the fstab to its original state or its backup im gonna PM u so i dont clutter up this room | 15:07 |
| perillux | Pici: erUSUL: I got it thanx. echo -e 'a\tb' did the trick | 15:07 |
| tehniobium | i figured that...can still se my windows files | 15:07 |
| syntax__ | how do I make a user the owner of a whole folder ? | 15:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tehniobium I am involved in another problem, so I cant help for the moment | 15:08 |
| tehniobium | from inside xubuntu (i managed to do that mounting stuff right for once ;)) | 15:08 |
| Jessica | lynet: sipior: will the results still be in the daemon.log? | 15:08 |
| tehniobium | ok | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | perillux: i allways forget the -e becouse zsh (my shell) echo does the right thing (tm) | 15:08 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: I probably don't have the ports forwarded to do DCC, let me see if I can find them myself | 15:09 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: Do you have a install CD for your wireless card? That would have the drivers on it. | 15:10 |
| Hobbie | :) | 15:10 |
| Hobbie | hi | 15:10 |
| Hobbie | Steve-Cal maybe | 15:10 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: I think the laptop still has a partition with WinXP on it, so they should probably be somewhere on there, right? | 15:10 |
| bazhang | Hobbie, do you have a support question? | 15:11 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: Hmmm, yes that's probably true, but you don't know how old they are. How about PMing me with an email address I can send it too? | 15:11 |
| Ward1983 | what is it with ubuntu and crappy audio players??? | 15:12 |
| Hobbie | bazhang, i see | 15:12 |
| Hobbie | i don't like the distro | 15:12 |
| Ward1983 | i cant play my #@#$@#$ internetradio untill i reboot | 15:12 |

| Ward1983 | im getting so sick of this | 15:12 |
| tonsofpcs | ? | 15:12 |
| Ward1983 | what can be the problem? | 15:13 |
| Hobbie | only server version. | 15:13 |
| Ward1983 | all players just crash | 15:13 |
| bazhang | Hobbie, please /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 15:13 |
| Ward1983 | they work fine, then all of a sudden if i left the comp for a while they crash | 15:13 |
| tehniobium | i just broke my windows boot...by installing xubuntu - is it possible to get help with trying to fix that, here? | 15:13 |
| tehniobium | (windows files are still there...) | 15:13 |
| Hobbie | very stable, i think so | 15:13 |
| Hobbie | bazhang so sorry. thnx | 15:13 |
| tonsofpcs | something has alsa [or whatever you're using] locked ope | 15:13 |
| tonsofpcs | *open | 15:13 |

| therion_ | Hi, someone know an alternative to xwinwrap? (For non-recent graphic cards) | 15:14 |
| Ward1983 | tonsofpcs, maybe ill check i got a lot of firefox windows open | 15:14 |
| tonsofpcs | Ward1983: i'd try closing out firefox all together | 15:14 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: OK I sent it--you should probably have it by now. | 15:14 |
| eric | reminder : I dist-upgraded to hardy heron, no more sound. If I downgrade to an older kernel while keeping rest of hardy, sound is back. How could I fix that ? | 15:15 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: Oh wait... | 15:15 |
| Pugz | tehniobium: when it gives you the Safe Mode prompt, is there an option for "Last Known Good Config"? | 15:15 |
| tehniobium | yep | 15:15 |
| tehniobium | just restarts...:/ | 15:16 |
| the0 | hello | 15:16 |
| Ward1983 | tonsofpcs, totem crashes on launch :@ | 15:16 |
| the0 | I am trying to install rcrack. I got rcrack from | 15:16 |
| Pugz | how far does it get before it restarts? | 15:16 |
| tehniobium | gets to the safe mode menu | 15:16 |
| tehniobium | then restarts 1 or 2 seconds after than | 15:16 |
| tehniobium | doesnt show loading screen for windows... | 15:16 |
| Pugz | it reboots without you even choosing an option? | 15:16 |
| Ward1983 | tonsofpcs, when i started using ubuntu it was nice, it didnt have a lot of bugs, these days its starting to get redicoules, im starting to feel like im working on a windows box again | 15:16 |
| tehniobium | no sorry | 15:17 |
| tehniobium | when i choose | 15:17 |
| therion_ | Hi, someone know an alternative to xwinwrap? (For non-recent graphic cards) | 15:17 |
| tehniobium | then 1-2 sec, then reboot | 15:17 |
| alex__ | Hello everybody ! | 15:17 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: OK that should have worked. Let me know when you get it. | 15:17 |
| Jessica | lynet: sipior: will the results still be in the daemon.log? | 15:17 |
| Steve-Cal | !hi | alex__ | 15:17 |
| ubottu | alex__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:17 |
| the0 | I am trying to install rcrack. I got rcrack from http://www.antsight.com/zsl/rainbowcrack/ . When i did make -f makefile.linux it presented some errors (make: g++: Command not found) | 15:17 |
| codecain1 | not sure therion xwinwrap works good fo rme | 15:17 |
| alex__ | I can't play SAn andreas with cedega | 15:18 |
| Ward1983 | i cant even play audio :@ | 15:18 |
| alex__ | i get a black screen and x freeze's | 15:18 |
| sipior | Jessica: if run with the debug switch, i would assume they would be dumped to the terminal, but i don't really know | 15:18 |
| codecain1 | the0 you need to install g++ then sudo apt-get install g++ | 15:18 |
| === codecain1 is now known as codecaine | ||
| the0 | thanks | 15:18 |
| ikonia | codecain1: why does he need to install g++ to apt-get install g++ ? | 15:18 |
| Lynet | Jessica: It's been way past 5 minutes. Does it work now? If it does, add use=web in /etc/ddclient.conf and you should be good to go. | 15:19 |
| the0 | i understand what he means | 15:19 |
| codecaine | ikonia because its not defaulted installed like gcc it | 15:19 |
| codecaine | is | 15:19 |
| ikonia | codecaine: gcc is not installed by default | 15:19 |
| codecaine | it is when I installed ubuntu | 15:19 |
| ikonia | codecaine: and you don't need g++ on your machine to run the command "apt-get install g++" | 15:19 |

| ikonia | lw0x15: kill | 15:20 |
| Lynet | Jessica: It checks with an external website to find your internet-side IP | 15:20 |
| codecaine | and thats what hes asking | 15:20 |
| ikonia | codecaine: I know what it does but you telling him he needs to install g++ then do sudo apt-get install g++ is wrong | 15:20 |
| the0 | Thanks for your help | 15:20 |
| the0 | I had to do apt-get install g++ and then i managed to compile it | 15:21 |

| mrtimdog | I can't umount and sshfs fs as a non-root user when defined in fstab. I'm getting "mount disagrees with the fstab". Can any else do this? | 15:22 |

| BorkisDrizzt | how do I get Sound Juicer to rip to mp3? | 15:23 |
| Jessica | Lynet: it didn't report any message at all when I ran it. I need to get a new IP and then test it | 15:23 |

| amenado | mrtimdog-> to forcibly umount.. fuser -ki partition | 15:24 |
| mrtimdog | amenado: Should it be user or users? | 15:24 |
| erUSUL | mechdave: i know rt2500pci does | 15:24 |
| sipior | BorkisDrizzt: i *believe* installing lame will include all the necessary packages to allow juicer to rip to mp3. | 15:24 |
| Swish | if it was pure-ftpd, shouldn't the directory vanish when you apt-get remove that package? :>" | 15:24 |

| mrtimdog | amenado: Is even! | 15:26 |
| erUSUL | xpoint: ubuntu uses the new rt2x00 drivers that are smp safe (but i used legacy rt2500 on smp for a long time without issues) | 15:26 |
| European-African | hey, how do I change the sound that plays when the session starts? | 15:26 |

| KeKoS | hi how can I extract a *.rar file in linux? thanks | 15:28 |
| qba___ | i have another question how to get Raid working on Msi K9A2 Platinum | 15:28 |
| ikonia | KeKoS: install "unrar" | 15:28 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: Excellent! Be sure to reboot and make sure it works on reboot too... | 15:28 |
| qba___ | I have 2 drives connected to Promise controller | 15:28 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, its just that a reboot is not as simple for me as for many others, i run a couple of virtual PCs | 15:28 |
| mechdave | KeKoS, apt-get install unrar | 15:28 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, and lately im indeed extremely frustrated with all those bugs | 15:28 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: virtual PC's do not make a reboot more complex | 15:29 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, but offcourse i want support | 15:29 |
| nooga | hi, how to make that my external hdd on usb mounts automatically when plugged in? | 15:29 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: great, no problem, tell me about your issue | 15:29 |

| qba___ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5055303#post5055303 <<< Link to my post about this problem i still cant get it to work | 15:29 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: then if they need to be up all the time - host on appropriate hardware | 15:29 |
| mrtimdog | amenado: Thanks, but surely mount should call that indirectly via umount by looking at fstab? Basically gnomes drive mounter applet cannot unmount sshfs mount points. | 15:29 |
| revilodraw | what is the grep command to look at my graphics card? | 15:29 |
| ikonia | revilodraw: lspci | grep -i ati | 15:29 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, im not rich this is the only decent comp in the house that i got access to | 15:29 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, but the problem seems ot be firefox and mediaplayers | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: I appriciate that - then it's a home solution and cannot be "up" all the time | 15:30 |
| revilodraw | ikonia; thank you | 15:30 |
| European-African | legend2440: thanks | 15:30 |

| Ward1983 | qba___, its just empty | 15:32 |

| qba___ | Ward1983: im also new in ubuntu :) | 15:33 |

| Ward1983 | qba___, ikonia well totem is empty and i cant close it untill that littel window pops up to close it the hard way | 15:33 |
| revilodraw | "glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) " how do i do that? | 15:33 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, just sound | 15:33 |
| MitchM | amenado, working with non-smart people | 15:33 |
| stippi | Lynet: pretty sure, yes | 15:34 |
| stippi | Lynet: Quick way to find out? | 15:34 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, qba___ i jsut check mythtv has no sound either anymore | 15:34 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: and it's only the sound player that freezes, not the machine | 15:34 |
| codecaine | wood man grep: but a summary it extract strings | 15:35 |
| Lynet | stippi: mount. Look for the line with the usb disk. | 15:35 |
| nk_x | Steve-Cal: Looks like everything works, thanks for your help! | 15:35 |
| codecaine | the if you just do man grep it tell you everything | 15:35 |
| stippi | Lynet: no, actually it says "msdos" as file system type. It's a single partition hd with 500 GB. Is that even possible with FAT? | 15:35 |
| Steve-Cal | nk_x: Great! Glad it's working. | 15:35 |
| ue | after upgrade to hardy my usb mouse (logitech vx revolution) begins to lag/spike after some time, any solutions to this problem ? | 15:35 |
| wood | codecaine:you give a good way! | 15:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, correct | 15:36 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: what sound card do you have ? | 15:36 |
| codecaine | msdos doesn't support that high of a parition that I remember | 15:36 |
| Lynet | stippi: Jeepers creepers. Windows won't allow you to create fat partistions beyond 32GB, but I'm not sure what the hard limit is. | 15:36 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, it allways worked perfectly fine, some stupid update did this | 15:36 |

| martii | in ubuntu then I go to Network | 15:37 |
| martii | i get no Unix Servers | 15:37 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, i cant see the name now because all the windows that do something with audio wont even work | 15:37 |
| wood | what is the best tool to check the rootkits of the linux? | 15:37 |
| martii | only windows servers | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: open a terminal do "lspci" and stick it in a pastebin, lets have a look at your hardware | 15:37 |
| blackrabbit | wood, chkrootkit rkhunter both in the repos | 15:37 |
| yeund | hello | 15:37 |
| martii | is nautilus NFS support removed from ubuntu 8.04? | 15:37 |
| Lynet | stippi: Well, max volume size for fat32 is 8TiB. So yeah, is possible but not really advisable. | 15:37 |
| codecaine | rootkit hunter wood | 15:38 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, its not in there :s weird | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: stick it in a pastebin, lets have a look | 15:39 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, never mind lol found it | 15:39 |
| stippi | Lynet: Thanks! So it isn't Ubuntu's fault... :-) However, I cannot burn the large file to DVD either using Brasero. Any recommendation for another burn program? | 15:39 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller | 15:39 |

| blackrabbit | <wood> have you ever programmed some rootkits of the linux? | 15:39 |
| blackrabbit | wood, no | 15:39 |
| teknoprep | does ubuntu have the 2.6.25 kernel yet ? | 15:39 |
| codecaine | sudo apt-get install rkhunter ; to install it wood | 15:39 |
| teknoprep | i would like 802.11n support | 15:39 |
| Pici | teknoprep: No, and Hardy will never have it. | 15:39 |
| wood | ok!but the usages are anoysome | 15:39 |
| Lynet | stippi: Dunno, just recently switched to Ubuntu as my main desktop myself and haven't burned much yet. | 15:39 |
| teknoprep | Pici, what will have it ? | 15:40 |
| codecaine | chrootkit for checking windows systems | 15:40 |
| plasticmac | hi, I have a network drive mounted via sftp: | 15:40 |
| Pici | teknoprep: Intrepid might, I'm not sure what the plan is for that kernel yet. | 15:40 |
| locohost | there a special trick to getting dual head to work? | 15:40 |
| plasticmac | but I can't figure out how to get at it from the terminal | 15:40 |
| thefish | stippi, you could just use on the commandline: wodim -v /path/to/iso | 15:40 |
| plasticmac | I don't see the volume when I type "mount" | 15:40 |
| * plasticmac is a total Ubuntu newbie | 15:40 | |
| a7c | does anyone have a lot of time to spend helping me through this step-by-step? | 15:40 |
| teknoprep | Ubuntu is just a distro | 15:40 |
| wood | chrootkit for windows? really? | 15:40 |
| amenado | MitchM-> umm its almost like you have to put them files in a database, multiple read, only one write | 15:41 |
| blackrabbit | wood, scan from read only media for better detection of suspected installed media | 15:41 |
| thefish | plasticmac, how do you know its mounted? mount usually wont lie | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: your doing output over spdif | 15:41 |
| stippi | thefish: But I need something that is smart enough to create a fs that can hold files > 4 GB. | 15:41 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, yep i just said so | 15:41 |
| teknoprep | stippi, ext3 ? | 15:41 |
| plasticmac | thefish: well I see it in the file explorer and the context menu gives me the option to "unmount" | 15:41 |
| tomi | Hi. I have problem connectin to WIFI with WPA2 ecnription. Can somebody help me i tryed everything, with no success :( | 15:41 |
| plasticmac | maybe I'm just not seeing it | 15:41 |
| stippi | thefish: Brasero seemed to try to use UDF (-udf) but choked on the file. | 15:41 |
| * plasticmac checks again | 15:41 | |
| ikonia | Ward1983: unusual, just having a little read on anything specific to spdif | 15:41 |
| plasticmac | nope, don't see it | 15:42 |
| thefish | stippi, ah so you want to take files and burn them? | 15:42 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: that cards normally pretty solid | 15:42 |
| plasticmac | it's in the Places sidebar in the explorer thingy | 15:42 |
| a7c | can someone help me set up my wireless driver? I'm pretty much gonna need step-by-step instructions | 15:42 |
| stippi | teknoprep: I have no idea how to create an ext3 image in Ubuntu | 15:42 |
| codecaine | wood yea it scans windows partitons for rootkits | 15:42 |
| plasticmac | and I can browse files there | 15:42 |
| teknoprep | tomi, what is your wireless card | 15:42 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, i know im pretty happy with it | 15:42 |
| plasticmac | so it's definitely mounted | 15:42 |
| stippi | thefish: yes. Just one file actually, but it is > 4 GB | 15:42 |
| ue | after upgrade to hardy my usb mouse (logitech vx revolution) begins to lag/spike after some time, any solutions to this problem ? | 15:42 |
| teknoprep | stippi, what kind of image are you trying to create ? | 15:42 |
| thefish | plasticmac, i think that may be a "favourite" or something, there is a cool way to do it from the terminal though: sshfs | 15:42 |
| tomi | teknoprep broadcom | 15:42 |
| plasticmac | does mount have command line options I should know about? | 15:42 |
| mechdave | plasticmac, it would be something like this --> mount -t sftp /device/file /mount/point | 15:42 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, gtg now, should you find anything please /msg it then ill reply when i get back (i dont have a lot of scrollback set) | 15:42 |
| amenado | stippi typical movie iso can be greater than 4gig, i think k3b can handle those okay | 15:43 |
| ikonia | Ward1983: just reading, not seen anything on that behaviour before. | 15:43 |
| codecaine | plasticmac yes do man mount it will tell you everything | 15:43 |
| teknoprep | tomi, did you try "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" | 15:43 |
| plasticmac | codecaine: ok | 15:43 |
| codecaine | has multiple command depending on what you want to do | 15:43 |
| legend2440 | locohost ati or nvidia? | 15:43 |
| thefish | plasticmac, install sshfs, then add yourself to the "fuse" group - log out and in again and then you can just (as yourself, no sudo needed) sshfs user@host:/path /local/mount/point | 15:43 |
| Ward1983 | ikonia, ok, well should you find anything, please /msg so i can read it when i get back, and reply | 15:43 |
| Ward1983 | :) | 15:43 |
| ikonia | thas fine | 15:43 |
| Ward1983 | thanx | 15:43 |
| thefish | plasticmac, then it is actually mounted as well, so you can get to it with terminal and nautilus etc | 15:43 |
| teknoprep | hey stippi what kind of image do you want to create ? | 15:44 |
| tomi | teknoprep no i installed it by the package manager | 15:44 |
| stippi | ok, will try k3b then | 15:44 |
| teknoprep | tomi, well it asks alot of questions... i would suggest doing this. | 15:44 |
| stippi | teknoprep: Would be ok if only Linux can read the DVD, but would be nice if other OS could read it too. | 15:44 |
| teknoprep | tomi, "sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter" | 15:44 |
| teknoprep | tomi, "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" | 15:45 |
| codecaine | its mounted through ssh but will slow down processes on it then having it regularly mounted | 15:45 |
| teknoprep | stippi, linux can read dvd's | 15:45 |
| teknoprep | stippi, what are you trying to do ? | 15:45 |
| === leonel_ is now known as leonel | ||
| thefish | stippi, k3b is really nice, but it may be an idea to play with mkisofs as well | 15:45 |
| Jessica055 | lynet: it didn't work. ddclient seems to be getting the proper IP, but it seems to be having problems logging into zoneedit. the proper IP appears in the daemon.log. I've checked the password on zoneedit. | 15:46 |
| tomi | teknoprep just to tell you. i have installed the driver and i see my AP but it can't connect, it doesnt assign me ip | 15:46 |
| stippi | teknoprep: The DVD could hold different file systems. If it was ext3, only Linux could read it. If it was UDF, I could read it on any OS. I suppose UDF supports files > 4 GB? | 15:46 |
| teknoprep | tomi, i know what your problem is... do what i said | 15:46 |
| teknoprep | tomi, then you are going to get instructions on how to set it up... you have to run a command after you reinstall with apt-get | 15:47 |
| tomi | teknoprep ok i am trying that right now | 15:47 |
| a7c | grrr... I give up on ubuntu...this is too annoying | 15:47 |
| teknoprep | i think he gave up on learning | 15:47 |

| Lynet | Jessica055: Hmm.. Apart from "doublecheck username/password" I don't really know what else to suggest. | 15:48 |
| teknoprep | read the output of you apt-get | 15:48 |
| tomi | the removal and reinstallation | 15:48 |
| teknoprep | what does it tell you to do | 15:48 |
| Creepindacellar | hello, i am trying to get 2 versions of ubuntu installed on the same system. after installing the second ubuntu grub errors out with "error 17" i have the system booted on a live cd currently but can't seem to figure out what happened on the second install that screwed my grub. | 15:48 |
| Jessica055 | lynet: should I be able to emulate what ddclient is trying to do using a telnet window? | 15:48 |
| idefix_ | how do I find out my KDE version? | 15:49 |
| Lynet | Jessica055: I suppose so, don't really know the protocol they use. | 15:49 |
| locohost | dkpg -l|grep -i kde | 15:49 |
| locohost | sudo apt-get remove kde && sudo apt-get install gnome | 15:50 |
| plasticmac | thefish: okay so I installed sshfs but it's not immediately obvious how to add myself to the fuse group | 15:50 |
| Lynet | Jessica055: Then again, ddclient is a perl script so if you know perl you should probably be able to figure it ouy. | 15:50 |
| wood | do you have the problem of Input in the 8.04? | 15:50 |
| thefish | plasticmac, you can use the gui, or just `adduser plasticmac fuse` - assuming your username is plasticmac :) | 15:50 |
| Jessica055 | Lynet: Idon't know perl. | 15:50 |
| plasticmac | hmmm gui, that's sounds good to me | 15:51 |
| codecaine | lol | 15:51 |
| thefish | plasticmac, the console is a lot quicker, and makes you look like a 1337 haX0r | 15:51 |

| codecaine | plasticmac Think of it this way depending if you change to use another linux that mean is alwyas portable you might not always have a gui for it | 15:52 |
| teknoprep | tomi, follow the instructions then | 15:52 |

| plasticmac | thefish: yes my sex life improved immeasurably when I switched from Visual Studio to vim | 15:52 |
| tomi | teknoprep what instructions | 15:52 |
| teknoprep | tomi, "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" | 15:52 |
| teknoprep | tomi, do that | 15:52 |
| plasticmac | plus I can't figure out how to run the gui | 15:52 |
| thefish | plasticmac, exactly, now use the console - think of the ch1X0rs | 15:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | teknoprep b43-fwcutter I think is the new version | 15:53 |
| teknoprep | tomi, if that doesn't work first do this.... " sudo apt-get remove --purge bcm43xx-fwcutter " | 15:53 |
| Lynet | Jessica055: Why don't you just pastebin ddclient.conf and any relevant log files? | 15:53 |
| tomi | teknoprep but i have already done sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 15:53 |
| * plasticmac wonders what a ch1X0r is | 15:53 | |
| teknoprep | Jack_Sparrow, its not working for him | 15:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find b43 | 15:53 |

| tomi | teknoprep well my dell notebooks came with bcm , i hate it too | 15:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slusny Did you install the headers for your specific kernel | 15:57 |
| mechdave | melch, not if they are in the blacklist | 15:57 |

| jonlanglois | Hi folks. Strange X (I think) problem since upgrading to Hardy: I get a little "pause" in my display every four seconds. Very noticable (and annoying) when moving the mouse or running something like glxgears. But glxgears reports a frame rate that's consistent with what I got before the upgrade. | 15:57 |
| kombi | in server 64, why do I see dd in the process list? | 15:58 |
| jonlanglois | Any thoughts on how to investigate? | 15:58 |
| Pugz | a7c I take it you've tried everthing in the forums? | 15:58 |
| tomi | Jack_Sparrow well then help me with mine | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Creepindacellar: good advice is to use a shared /boot partition so you only have one grub and menu.lst to deal with | 15:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | codecaine: please do NOT post that command in here, it is extremely dangerous to run | 15:58 |
| a7c | pugz: yep...everything i could possibly do | 15:58 |
| Creepindacellar | can i do that after the fact? | 15:58 |
| tomi | Jack_Sparrow as i said i can see my AP but can't connect | 15:58 |
| plasticmac | thefish: wicked, that worked | 15:58 |
| a7c | ndiswrapper is being especially annoying, as it recognises it, yet it doesnt show up in my network options | 15:58 |
| plasticmac | thanks | 15:58 |
| mechdave | codecaine, select power switch, reboot into hold hand XP mode and remove files from recycle bin ;) | 15:58 |

| en0x | does anyone know if in ubuntu I can force to reinstall all packages? | 16:03 |
| ompaul | !latest | TR500 | 16:04 |
| ubottu | TR500: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tomi Start with an open connection not wep wpa or any of that | 16:04 |
| amenado | mechdave-> i assume it was, as he was referring to /boot | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 16:04 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 16:04 |
| Idle0ne | anyone know if the new ubuntu will work on a mac pro.... I had the last version installed but it did not like the airport card so I could not use it.

| TR500 | look at the release notes for the latest release of gnome, its not just a unnoticed change, worthy of updating i would think, im asking if ubuntu will update it by itself or not | 16:06 |
| ikonia | Kitu: ubuntu 8.04 comes with a driver that should work | 16:06 |
| Creepindacellar | not really i just want to be able to boot both 7.10 and 8.04 ikonia suggested a shared boot, i already have both installed but grub error17 comes up at boot | 16:06 |
| Kitu | hum | 16:06 |
| Kitu | ok | 16:06 |

| mechdave | Creepindacellar, which distro did you install last? | 16:07 |
| Jessica055 | lynet: need to wait 5 minutes... | 16:07 |
| Creepindacellar | 7.10 | 16:07 |
| ikonia | Creepindacellar: you need to make a /boot partition, copy the boot data from /boot on your working distro to it, then install your second distro | 16:07 |
| melch | ikonia, will that do it everytime? i want to make like a script | 16:07 |
| Marfi | which would be faster running on a ubuntu system? 2 dual core processors, or 1 quad core processors? i would think the 2 dual cores | 16:07 |
| ikonia | melch: ok, make a script that does rmmod | 16:07 |
| sipior | Marfi: faster running what? | 16:08 |
| tritium | melch: list it in /etc/default/acpi-support, in the appropriate place | 16:08 |

| melch | tritium, i did it still doesn't unload it is ath_pci. i placed it in the MODULES spot | 16:08 |
| mechdave | Creepindacellar, right boot the 7.10 and run grub-install /dev/hda (I assume your primary master is /dev/hda) | 16:08 |
| ikonia | melch: he's getting error 17 - how is grub install going to fix that | 16:09 |
| kushal1 | hello, just a quick question. How do I see the network usage in Ubuntu 8.04 (on Wubi)? I am using an unencrypted wireless network at home. | 16:09 |
| melch | tritium, i was following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#head-688700b3e0e48847a28daba8bc557d4439a30927 | 16:09 |
| ikonia | melch: also he's using 7.10 and 8.04 - so hda is not valid - it should be scsi disk due to libata | 16:09 |
| mechdave | Creepindacellar, then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:09 |
| melch | ikonia, what? | 16:09 |
| mrtimdog | Any use Sound Blaster card of the X-Fi variety? | 16:09 |
| ikonia | melch: 7,10 and 8.04 use the later version of libata so there should be no disks referenced by /dev/hda | 16:09 |
| amenado | Creepindacellar-> what he meant was, bunch of files can be put in the /boot directory, several version of linux even..but it is the menu.lst that allows to select among the many kernels that exist in /boot | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bazhang May I pm? | 16:10 |
| Creepindacellar | could it be /media/disk-1/ ?? | 16:10 |
| melch | ikonia, how does that help my problem? are you use you want to be talking to me? | 16:10 |
| mechdave | Creepindacellar, are you booting off removable drive? | 16:10 |
| tomi | Jack_Sparrow no success neighter with open connection | 16:10 |
| Creepindacellar | no | 16:10 |
| ikonia | melch: no, your telling someone to do grub-install /dev/hda | 16:10 |
| tomi | i think that the card it not even trying to connect to the AP | 16:10 |
| Idle0ne | funny that i have a mac and want to run ubuntu over os x LOL | 16:10 |

| codecaine | i do run windows inside ubuntu sometimes | 16:11 |
| SM00111000 | lu | 16:11 |

| Marfi | sipior, running in general | 16:11 |
| Idle0ne | os x needs those lol | 16:11 |
| mechdave | ikonia, Ok well it should be /dev/sda then | 16:11 |
| melch | mechdave, damn u i got yelled at cause of you. It's the tab button's fault | 16:11 |
| ikonia | mechdave: yes, however grub 17 error doesn't need a grub re-install | 16:12 |
| mechdave | ikonia, np | 16:12 |
| nacer | hi | 16:12 |
| ikonia | melch: wasn't tab - it was my fault | 16:12 |
| sipior | Marfi: that's not a question that really makes any sense | 16:12 |
| tomi | Jack_Sparrow well i did that via System>Administrations>hardware drivers | 16:12 |
| mechdave | ikonia, no? ok go ahead | 16:12 |
| nacer | do you think i can install kubuntu kde4 package on a ubuntu without crash about my version ? | 16:12 |
| tomi | Jack_Sparrow i am new to linux that's why i ask you to tell me steb by step how you have configured your bcm cards. | 16:12 |
| ikonia | mechdave: I've given my suggestions, error 17 can be fixed with the device map | 16:12 |
| mohkohn | I am trying to set up internet connection sharing with Firestarter. Why would my "Enable DHCP for local network" be greyed out? | 16:12 |
| melch | So guys why would my blacklisted modules not unload when i suspend to ram. The module in question is ath_pci | 16:13 |
| mechdave | ikonia, Oh ok, maybe I need to do some more doc reading on that one :) | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tomi I am about to leave for work and I dont want to drop you in the middle of that | 16:13 |
| codecaine | blacklisted modules will not load at all | 16:13 |
| Marfi | sipior, ok, let me try to re word it...say given 2 computers, identical in the way that the only difference is 1 has 2 dual cores, the other has 1 quad core, which would run processes faster, games faster, etc? | 16:13 |
| mechdave | ikonia, would you like to help Creepindacellar while I do some reading then? | 16:13 |
| tomi | Jack_Sparrow ok no problem maby later if you are here you can help me , | 16:14 |
| ikonia | mechdave: already given the suggestion | 16:14 |
| yacc | Can somebody explain this: (100MB resident size????) 12132 ? S 2:14 1177 26 162565 105508 5.1 /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon | 16:14 |
| leehambley | how does one disable the insert key ? | 16:14 |
| leehambley | or toggle overwrite | 16:14 |
| mechdave | ikonia, roger | 16:14 |
| sipior | Marfi: it depends upon how the games are written. you can't talk about speed without involving the application itself. | 16:14 |
| Pici | leehambley: press insert | 16:14 |
| codecaine | :) | 16:14 |
| mechdave | Creepindacellar, maybe we should both google grub error 17 to find the problem | 16:14 |
| leehambley | Pici, thank you for that :) i'm on 8.04, on an apple slm keyboard | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pici May I pm.. | 16:15 |
| leehambley | pressed something (typo?) and now oerwrite is on | 16:15 |
| Pici | Jack_Sparrow: always | 16:15 |
| Creepindacellar | it says grub doesnt recognize the volume among other things. but i think it is the menu.lst that is wrong or pointing to the wrong one | 16:15 |
| sipior | Marfi: generally, an application that is not written to take advantage of this hardware will see *no difference* run on a dual-core or quad-core system. it does allow you to run more of those processes simultaneously, which can also be useful. | 16:16 |
| codecaine | Creepindacellar you can download supergrub and it does everything for you | 16:16 |
| Creepindacellar | really? i have some laundry to do also woo hoo | 16:16 |
| ikonia | mechdave: Creepindacellar http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Stage2-errors.html#Stage2-errors | 16:16 |
| Marfi | sipior, i know that. but which would be able to run more processes efficiently, is what im asking i guess. two dual core processors, or one quad core? | 16:16 |
| kevix | can anyone help? I have ati radeon rv250 (9000) I have done a clean install from text based installer. The open source ati drivers have been installed. The problem is that when i boot up xorg tells me it canno detect my graphics card and then i get asked to configure. | 16:16 |
| ikonia | codecaine: he doesn't need "super grub" | 16:17 |
| mechdave | ikonia, cheers | 16:17 |
| ferris | i need a command to reconfigure my video .... http://pastebin.org/39738 | 16:17 |
| sipior | Marfi: i doubt it would make very much difference | 16:17 |
| ikonia | mechdave: basiclly - wrong partition, which he can fix at the same time as making a seperate /boot partition | 16:17 |
| codecaine | ikonia but if he having trouble its a quick and easily solution | 16:17 |
| kevix | Picking any of the common sense driver options under the configuration and testing reports back an error | 16:17 |
| slappy | How can I change permanantly the umask for a user or a group? | 16:17 |
| ikonia | codecaine: nope - auto grub install stuff is not recommeneded in any form, especially for dual linux boots | 16:17 |
| codecaine | hmm never had a problem but if you say so :) | 16:18 |
| kevix | Im confused as to how ubuntu has obvioulsy detected the card correctly to have installed the appropriate drivers, but then on boot cant work out what to do | 16:18 |
| ikonia | codecaine: "you" have never had a problem | 16:18 |
| Creepindacellar | ikonia, i saw that, but they are both ubuntu (ext3) filesystems | 16:18 |
| codecaine | thats why I said if you say so | 16:18 |
| ikonia | Creepindacellar: that doesn't make a difference, you'll find it will be because you have two ubuntu installs | 16:18 |
| ferris | i have ran already sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to no avail | 16:18 |
| ikonia | Creepindacellar: one will think its the primary and reference everything as the primary, when actually - its the second instal | 16:19 |
| Marfi | does ubuntu support 2 quad core? making a total of 8 cores? if yes, how many does it support up to? | 16:19 |
| Creepindacellar | can i fix it or do i need to start over? | 16:19 |
| ikonia | Creepindacellar: this is the reas I suggested a shared /boot partition | 16:19 |
| === ReckaH|bezig is now known as ReckaH | ||
| ikonia | Marfi: 64 cores per smp kernel I think | 16:19 |
| Marfi | ty ty | 16:19 |
| ikonia | Marfi: you can go beyond that with patches | 16:19 |
| ferris | the refresh is set at 60 and needs to be up to a minimum of 80 | 16:19 |
| melch | anyone willing to help me with the blacklist problem? | 16:19 |
| Marfi | alright, thank ya | 16:20 |
| Creepindacellar | im with you ikonia, but im so close to having it done i feel | 16:20 |
| mechdave | ikonia, so all he needs to do is edit the menu.lst with the correct partition number and it will all work | 16:20 |
| erUSUL | Marfi: grep NR_CPUS /boot/config-2.6.24-17-generic | 16:20 |
| amenado | mechdave-> in addition, he has to make sure the device.map is correspondingly correct too | 16:21 |
| darmi | 8.04 64bit is really buggy :( | 16:21 |
| ikonia | mechdave: not quite remember, thereare 2 grub installs - only one real grub install, so for example, the last OS installed will put grub on the MBR and that grub install will reference the details from THAT menu.lst, but the first ubuntu install also has a menu.lst on it's boot partition | 16:21 |
| ikonia | darmi: in your opinioon | 16:21 |
| darmi | ikonia: no really | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | darmi: your opinion ;P | 16:21 |
| sipior | who elses would it be? | 16:21 |

| jonlanglois | Okay, so a different Hardy question...my IDE drives were recognized as /dev/hda and /dev/hdb in Feisty, but are now /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Is that a bug, or intended behavior? | 16:22 |
| darmi | and multiple things aren't stable | 16:22 |
| amenado | darmi there is #vmware channel i believe | 16:22 |
| ikonia | darmi: I could say the exact oposite | 16:22 |
| darmi | I wish I'd stay with 7.10 | 16:22 |
| codecaine | 64bit os tend to be that way right now | 16:22 |
| sipior | jonlanglois: that's intentional | 16:22 |
| ikonia | darmi: do you want help with anything - or just vent | 16:22 |
| ikonia | codecaine: nonsense | 16:22 |
| darmi | just vent | 16:23 |
| darmi | ing | 16:23 |
| ikonia | darmi: this isn't the place then | 16:23 |
| darmi | ouch | 16:23 |
| WizardFait | Hello. | 16:23 |
| jonlanglois | I always thought hdX meant IDE drive, and sdX meant scsi. | 16:23 |
| codecaine | manufactures etc fail to port all hardware to 64 bit drivers etc | 16:23 |
| luckz | stippi: do you have any idea? | 16:23 |
| * darmi wiping his tears off | 16:23 | |
| codecaine | 32 bit is more supported over 64 bit you cannot deny that ikonia | 16:23 |
| ikonia | codecaine: considering the drivers are all in the kernel, bar a few that comments doesn't make much sense | 16:23 |
| ikonia | jonlanglois: thats the old libata branch, thats how it used to be | 16:23 |
| WizardFait | So, wireless... I have a broadcom 54G card in my laptop... Does EVERYONE have wireless issues with these cards? | 16:23 |
| codecaine | not on windows ikonia | 16:24 |
| ikonia | codecaine: windows isn't "64bit os's in general" | 16:24 |
| codecaine | I said 64 bit os | 16:24 |
| WizardFait | In my past... I've gotten it to work, but then it'll randomly disconnect, then reconnect... | 16:24 |
| luckz | cousin_luigi: I fear this is the wrong channel for that kind of question, why don't you try the one for your distribution? | 16:24 |
| chuy_max | jonlanglois, every disk now is recognized as sd?, there was a reason for it | 16:24 |
| WizardFait | But that's only if I'm lucky. | 16:24 |
| codecaine | vista 64bit | 16:24 |
| amenado | WizardFait-> umm..broadcom bcm43xx is infamous | 16:24 |
| codecaine | is not a os? | 16:24 |
| jonlanglois | okay, my second drive wasn't mounting right...I guess my OS partition worked because I had the UUID in fstab. | 16:24 |
| ikonia | codecaine: and windows isn't "64bit os's" it's one | 16:24 |
| WizardFait | infamous as...? Being horrible with linux? ;P | 16:24 |

| luckz | steve-cal: I'm sure that helps, thanks | 16:25 |
| WizardFait | Or does bcm43xx actually make it work? | 16:25 |
| ikonia | codecaine: please don't be petty give out solid advice - or don't say anything | 16:25 |
| luckz | dustrial: thanks to you too | 16:25 |

| codecaine | that is solid theres not different versions of 64 bit vistas os? | 16:25 |
| amenado | WizardFait-> just harder to make work...thats all | 16:25 |

| jonlanglois | Yes, I remounted it as /dev/sdb1 | 16:26 |
| sipior | codecaine: please, give it a rest | 16:26 |
| WizardFait | Okay, so... If I use the instructions (On 8.04) to go to linuxwireless.org (or w/e it was) and it does what I described, what do I do to fix it? | 16:26 |
| ikonia | codecaine: exactly ! which is why your giving out bad advice 64bit in general is wrong to advice people. | 16:26 |
| jonlanglois | I wonder if my cd/dvd drives work...they're in fstab as /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd | 16:26 |
| WizardFait | I've gotten it to work in the past, but then it is so shoddy. | 16:26 |
| WizardFait | And HORRIBLE speeds! | 16:26 |
| WizardFait | and I've found, if I use iwconfig to up the bit-rate, the connection becomes impossibly unstable. | 16:26 |
| mechdave | ikonia, I understand now. Creepindacellar needs to make the real grub reference the correct partitions | 16:27 |
| ikonia | mechdave: thats it | 16:27 |
| annie_g | Is this the right command line for restricted files - " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" ? ? ? | 16:27 |

| Cheesypieces | sipior: thats what i thought, but the proper ff3 is out now, and there's still no compatible version | 16:31 |

| WizardFait | Hey all, I'll brb. | 16:44 |

| jcn | root@machineJCN:~# apt-get install envyng-gtk on terminal and it says It's installed, HOW DO I LAUNCH ENVY ? | 16:47 |
| darmi | runjorel: did u confirm that pptp is running with netstat -untap |grep pptp | 16:48 |
| darmi | ? | 16:48 |
| Luhta | jcn it should be something like envyng-gtk or envyng_gtk | 16:48 |
| Pugz | krammer, you can't change the settings on the monitor? | 16:48 |
| runjorel | darmi: im sure it is, but let me double check | 16:48 |
| jcn | yes but I did not found in application | 16:48 |

| bSON | does somebody know how to use rpm in debian/ubuntu? i need to test sth with it | 16:49 |
| reese | hi! when I try to upgrade from the alternate cd, it gives me an "Error authenticating some packages", and it lists a lot of packages. I'm on a 7.10 | 16:49 |
| erUSUL | Pugz: gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 16:49 |
| runjorel | darmi: I actually got it to connect once. The connection worked, but only lasted for about 2 minutes. Since then it hasnt worked again | 16:49 |
| _zo | !alien | 16:50 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 16:50 |
| darmi | runjorel: ping to test connectivity | 16:50 |
| ratpoison | bSON, try package alien | 16:50 |
| Luhta | ah so that's what alien is | 16:50 |
| Luhta | I have a problem I'm using ALSA and my sound works in X, however when I launch winecfg the device is not listed under ALSA, I do have a custom .asoundrc but it has been verified to work in the past, does anyone have any suggestions? | 16:50 |
| bSON | i don't need to really install a package.. i like to write sth on top of librpm | 16:51 |
| runjorel | darmi: I do get a response when I ping pptp server from inside the network. | 16:51 |
| bSON | thus i need rpm itself | 16:51 |
| sipior | ratpoison: well, it looks like it's unblocked, but i'm not sure why it wants to remove openoffice. let it do it, and then reinstall :-) | 16:51 |
| runjorel | darmi: and I get a response when I ping our external ip from a computer outside of our network | 16:51 |
| ratpoison | sipior, k, I'll get back to you with results | 16:51 |
| darmi | runjorel: what does yur windows error message | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | bSON: you are better doing this knd of development on a red hat/fedora box | 16:51 |
| darmi | say | 16:51 |
| sipior | bSON: librpm is in the repositories | 16:51 |
| _zo | !info librmp | 16:52 |
| ubottu | Package librmp does not exist in hardy | 16:52 |
| _zo | !info librpm | 16:52 |
| ubottu | Package librpm does not exist in hardy | 16:52 |
| ratpoison | sipior, yesterday though, installing the one meant uninstalling the other. for some reason I can't have both | 16:52 |
| _zo | !info rpm | 16:52 |
| runjorel | darmi: hold on let me log into another machine and find out...I really appreciate this btw | 16:52 |
| ubottu | rpm (source: rpm): Red Hat package manager. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.2.1-1ubuntu6 (hardy), package size 610 kB, installed size 3852 kB | 16:52 |

| darmi | runjorel: np | 16:52 |

| bSON | sipior: i know, but it doesn't seem to be able to open the rpm database, even if i do "rpm --initdb --dbpath /var/rpm" | 16:52 |
| ratpoison | sipior, yup, I ran update manager when I booted the machine about half an hour ago | 16:53 |
| snarkster | how do i stop numlock from being active when i start my laptop? | 16:53 |
| xtremox | ubuntu rockz! | 16:53 |
| snarkster | Nunmlock isnt on when Im logging in but after that its on | 16:53 |
| Slart | snarkster: it's usually a BIOS switch.. but laptops are weird sometimes.. | 16:53 |

| J-_ | I haven't used exaile for an ipod. I thought you were discussing what player to use. | 17:13 |
| Slart | tyler_: using those commands I'd say you can look at your fstab but not edit it | 17:13 |
| sportman1280 | sipior: and its impossible for it to find it. no key with that email exists.... | 17:13 |
| sipior | sportman1280: and this is where i ask: "and you backed up everything first, right?" ;-) | 17:13 |
| sportman1280 | sipior: keys were backed up of course | 17:13 |
| Slart | tyler_: no pico? nano? | 17:14 |
| finek | hi, what's the name of cd burner for gnome | 17:14 |
| tyler_ | slart: i went into the recovery thing in the grub bootloader and i got into the fstab but i couldnt edit it because it was read only | 17:14 |
| Slart | finek: brasero | 17:14 |
| sipior | sportman1280: obviously, but nothing else? | 17:14 |
| tyler_ | what should i do? | 17:14 |
| Radit | Thanks, turns out i don't have to use itunes after all, thats great :-) | 17:14 |
| finek | Slart: thx | 17:14 |
| WizardFait | Radit: Wait. | 17:14 |
| WizardFait | Radit: Nvm... I mis-read it. | 17:14 |
| WizardFait | Continue on. :P | 17:14 |
| J-_ | Dionis_: Brasero possibly. (It shipped with Gnome in 8.04) | 17:14 |
| tyler_ | slart: what do i do | 17:14 |
| sportman1280 | sipior: goal was a clean profile. so nope. just redid all my settings | 17:14 |
| Radit | WizardFait: wha? oh, hehe.. | 17:14 |
| Slart | tyler_: you can't boot normally? what's wrong? | 17:14 |
| aimchanger | heh I still have to find sometime that works with my iPod touch | 17:14 |
| J-_ | Nautilus can burn CD's too | 17:14 |
| tyler_ | i edit the fstab and now i cant boot | 17:14 |
| Radit | k thanks ;-) | 17:15 |
| finek | ok | 17:15 |
| WizardFait | Radit: Yeah, My bad... I thought you said you *DID* have to use iTunes after all.... | 17:15 |
| tyler_ | slart: i know how to fix it but it requires me to edit the fstab | 17:15 |
| sipior | sportman1280: is generating a new set of keys out of the question? have these been used for anything important yet? | 17:15 |
| Slart | tyler_: so, you need to edit the fstab again.. ok, got it.. do you have a ubuntu live cd? | 17:15 |
| hypno_alex | h1 2 all) | 17:15 |
| tyler_ | i do not | 17:15 |
| anirudh0 | tyler_, you could use a live cd to edit fstab | 17:15 |
| monkeyBox | How can I tell which repository a package belongs to? | 17:15 |
| tyler_ | for some reason this live phlax cd wont boot into a gui | 17:15 |
| Slart | tyler_: what happens if you write "nano" in that recovery shell? | 17:15 |
| sportman1280 | sipior: that doesnt solve the issue of it still trying to find a key that will never exist as i dont have an @ubuntu.csee.wvu.edu email | 17:15 |
| anirudh0 | monkeyBox, synaptic has a "origin" filter | 17:15 |
| sipior | sportman1280: well, i quite agree | 17:16 |
| Slart | tyler_: or editor/pico/vim .. one of them should work | 17:16 |
| jrib | sportman1280: how are you calling gpg? | 17:16 |
| tyler_ | slart: not found | 17:16 |
| sportman1280 | jrib: debsign | 17:16 |
| monkeyBox | anirudh0, I don't have a gui... I'm ssh'd in remotely over a not-so-fast connection | 17:16 |
| anirudh0 | tyler_, pico,nano,vi,emacs,joe.ed,tiny..something must be there | 17:16 |
| anirudh0 | monkeyBox, one sec | 17:16 |
| sportman1280 | my keys do show up in the seahorse and gpg --list-keys | 17:17 |
| J-_ | tyler_: nano is probably there. | 17:17 |
| TheOV | so does anyone have any solution to my problem (with the alternate CD)? | 17:17 |
| sportman1280 | sipior: and forgot the 2nd half, yes they ahve been used for important stuff already | 17:17 |
| jrib | sportman1280: so is the maintainer field in the .dsc correct? | 17:18 |
| fde | TheOV: Please restate the issue... it's hard to remember everyone... | 17:18 |
| arakthor | anyone here set up a webserver on ubuntu? I'm looking for some help regarding default mail directories using postfix/courier/postfixadmin | 17:18 |
| tyler_ | no im on a limited shell cant find phlax file system dropping you to a a very limited shell | 17:18 |
| J-_ | TheOV: Did you check out the md5 factoid? do the checksums match up? | 17:18 |
| _zo | arakthor: what does webserver have to do with postfix? | 17:18 |
| sportman1280 | jrib: yes | 17:18 |
| TheOV | I'm having trouble with the 8.04 alternate CD. When it gets to the "Install the base system" step, it says "Can't download package libacl1 (and so on, through the whole list of packages)". It seems to not be reading the CD. This CD passed the integrity test. The installer is able to retrieve the packages in an earlier step, but not in the Install Base System step. | 17:18 |
| arakthor | _zo: I'm sorry, I meant mailserver | 17:18 |
| sportman1280 | jrib: just double checked, it. it is the same error no matter what package i am trying to sign | 17:19 |
| darmi | mohkohn: ah.. it's 9am & I have to jam.... um it's a few steps first u might want to check google on creating an wireless access point on ubuntu. also chk out pyramid linux it may be alittle smoother for u . I be back online in about 3hrs | 17:19 |
| Slart | phlax ?? | 17:19 |
| J-_ | !u | darmi | 17:19 |
| _zo | arakthor: did you read all the wiki pages? | 17:19 |
| ubottu | darmi: 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.. | 17:19 |
| fde | TheOV: You can try installing a minimal system... then installing 'ubuntu-desktop' when it's up? | 17:19 |
| arakthor | _zo: yessir | 17:19 |
| mohkohn | thanks darmi | 17:19 |
| TheOV | fde: i'm doing the install command-line system | 17:19 |
| fde | TheOV: I'm familiar with it... but there should be a minimal option. | 17:20 |
| jrib | sportman1280: so the maintainer field in the .dsc lacks the "@ubuntu....", but gpg still looks for it? I can't recreate that here | 17:20 |
| darmi | J-_: u da man | 17:20 |
| _zo | arakthor: whats the problem then? | 17:20 |
| === macd_ is now known as macd | ||
| mohkohn | Perhaps what I need to do is have my wlan0 as DHCP | 17:20 |
| fde | TheOV: Maybe it says Server instead, I forget, but it installs only the base system. | 17:20 |
| mohkohn | How would I do that? | 17:20 |
| TheOV | fde: I thought the command-line system was minimal | 17:20 |
| arakthor | _zo: I want to have a "Spam" folder initially available to all users added to the system - right now there is only Sent,Inbox,Trash | 17:20 |
| TheOV | fde: yes that's all i want | 17:20 |
| tyler_ | what version of ubuntu do i need to download that is also a live cd? | 17:20 |
| anirudh0 | monkeyBox, look at the man dpkg-query page..the showformats section | 17:21 |
| WizardFait | mohkohn: You don't need DHCP for an AD-HOC network. | 17:21 |
| TheOV | tyler_: the desktop version | 17:21 |
| fde | TheOV: No... it just using debian-installer rather than ubiquity, and isn't a live system. | 17:21 |
| _zo | arakthor: so your mailserver works you just want a global spam folder? | 17:21 |
| sportman1280 | jrib: yes. its a fluke error. It just started happening after my home folder got recreated. but i have no idea how to fix it :( | 17:21 |
| tyler_ | does anyone know of an ubuntu live cd that is smaller im on dialup | 17:21 |
| arakthor | _zo: yes, or a per user spam folder (I may be misunderstanding global) | 17:21 |
| Slart | tyler_: all the regular install cd's are live cd's | 17:21 |
| jrib | sportman1280: is DEBSIGN_MAINT set to something? | 17:21 |
| TheOV | fde: ??? | 17:21 |
| Slart | tyler_: avoid server and alternate install | 17:21 |
| tyler_ | anyone know of like a 50mb or less live cd | 17:21 |
| _zo | arakthor: global would be one spam folder for every user...per user is well, per user | 17:22 |
| J-_ | darmi: Dude, people do use translations on irc. or text to speech. u also means other things in other languages. So, use the proper spelling. | 17:22 |
| arakthor | _zo: then, yes, global | 17:22 |
| sportman1280 | jrib: no | 17:22 |
| sipior | J-_: pedantry is tedious | 17:22 |
| david_brent | can i ask a simple question? does the ubuntu server edition have gnom, or kde, or X | 17:22 |
| poopuser | hi.i am trying to install xbanto...when i am at preparing drives -> manual > chose root partition i get error : 'main file system was not defined plz correct this in pratition menu'...but file system is ext3? ? ?any sugestions? | 17:22 |
| WizardFait | Is there an ubuntu live DVD? And if so, what's on it that's different than the live CD? | 17:22 |
| Slart | david_brent: nope | 17:22 |
| |Stevie| | whats a good cd/dvd catalogue program? | 17:22 |
| david_brent | k, thanks | 17:22 |
| fde | TheOV: that the name of the different installers... start over and look for an option about server install... or type 'linux expert' to choose less stuff be installed. | 17:22 |
| |Stevie| | tried gnomecatalog but its pretty buggy | 17:22 |
| anirudh0 | WizardFait, has more packages on dvd..you dont have to download so much after install | 17:22 |
| tyler_ | even the 64 bit have a live cd on them? | 17:22 |
| TheOV | fde: this is the alternate CD! | 17:22 |
| WizardFait | Where doyou find it? | 17:23 |
| mohkohn | WizardFait, can you direct me to a simple doc. In mac it is this easy. http://www.macinstruct.com/node/118 | 17:23 |
| _zo | arakthor: I think you can create a global folder and name it whatever you want, are you looking for a spam filter to go with your mailserver? if so thats a different issue | 17:23 |
| WizardFait | Gah... Space didn't want to work. | 17:23 |
| Slart | david_brent: it's easily installed though.. but I don't think it's there by default | 17:23 |
| fde | TheOV: you mentioned... I've been using it since before it was released in 2003 :/ | 17:23 |
| WizardFait | mohkohn: A doc for what? I'm sorry. | 17:23 |
| arakthor | _zo: I already have filtering for spam and viruses set up. just need the folder | 17:23 |
| poopuser | hi.i am trying to install xbanto...when i am at preparing drives -> manual > chose root partition i get error : 'main file system was not defined plz correct this in pratition menu'...but file system is ext3? ? ?any sugestions? | 17:23 |
| astra-work | after updating to the newest nvidia driver/latest official ubuntu releases update, is anyone .xsession incredibly broken? | 17:23 |
| fde | TheOV: Instead of just hitting enter on the first screen... type 'linux expert' | 17:24 |
| tyler_ | even the 64 bit have a live cd on them? | 17:24 |
| TheOV | fde: the options in the 8.04 CD are Normal, OEM install, Install a command-line system (the one I always use), and Install an LTSP server | 17:24 |
| darmi | mohkohn: I'll reply to yur ubuntu forum question | 17:24 |
| |Stevie| | no one uses a cd/dvd catalog program? | 17:24 |
| mohkohn | How to connect two computers together one with eth0 and the other with wlan0. Somebody said something about bridging | 17:24 |
| WizardFait | anirudh0: Where can I find the DVD? | 17:24 |
| _zo | !postfix | 17:24 |
| ubottu | postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 17:24 |
| ue | Is this ok ? Xorg using ~400mb of RAM ? | 17:24 |
| tyler_ | even the 64 bit have a live cd on them? | 17:24 |
| fde | TheOV: Ok... well expert mode will allow you to not even have to install ubuntu-standard or ubuntu-minimal ... so it should have greater success. | 17:24 |
| mohkohn | super darmi | 17:25 |
| anirudh0 | WizardFait, not sure..many people put it up themselves..google for it :) | 17:25 |
| anirudh0 | WizardFait, also see this..it applies to a dvd also ...http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-live-cd | 17:25 |
| poopuser | hi.i am trying to install xbanto...when i am at preparing drives -> manual > chose root partition i get error : 'main file system was not defined plz correct this in pratition menu'...but file system is ext3? ? ?any sugestions?it's not like i enyoj posting same thing 3rd time | 17:25 |
| fde | TheOV: It will be a little more complicated though... but I'm sure you can manage ;) | 17:25 |
| _zo | arakthor: whata bout this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto | 17:25 |
| slappy | is there a global script for gnome/nautilus like the bashrc for the terminal? | 17:25 |
| WizardFait | mohkohn: I'm sorry, Idk about that bridgiing thing he was talking about. (Well, I do, just not in Ubuntu) However, in my experience using Firestarter, you just tell it you want to tunnel the internet connection in the settings, start up the ad-hoc network, then go to Vista, look for wireless networks (Make sure it is willing to see ad-hoc) then connect. | 17:25 |
| TheOV | fde: i don't know if you understand my problem - it's that the CD seems to stop reading in the Install Base System stage | 17:25 |
| anirudh0 | poopuser, have you chosen a mount point for / | 17:26 |
| poopuser | yes | 17:26 |
| poopuser | or w8 | 17:26 |
| poopuser | not sure | 17:26 |
| arakthor | _zo: no :s | 17:26 |
| poopuser | how to check it? | 17:26 |
| fde | TheOV: Yes... so lets make it not install quite as many packages... and see if it works that way... else you'll need to burn a new CD... | 17:26 |
| anirudh0 | TheOV, run a md5sum check. never heard of integrity check working wrongly though.. | 17:26 |
| Chuggst3r | Hey all, new question. Whenever I run the Update Manager from the Terminal, this line always comes up. "current dist not found in meta-release file" | 17:26 |
| WizardFait | Thank you anirudh0 | 17:26 |
| poopuser | phone brb | 17:26 |
| _zo | arakthor: no? no you haven't checked it? or no you don't want to, or no its not going to help? | 17:27 |
| arakthor | _zo: already been through it several times | 17:27 |
| mohkohn | WizardFait, What do you mean "(Make sure it is willing to see ad-hoc"? | 17:27 |
| _zo | arakthor: ah | 17:27 |
| TheOV | fde: it is only installing the base system | 17:27 |
| FreshPineSent | Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu so I don't know, what is the best way to install VMware Tools on a Ubuntu virtual machine? | 17:27 |
| poopuser | so mr anirudh0 how do i check IF mount point is chosen? | 17:27 |
| MitchM | is there a good wiki technology that has version control on files uploaded? | 17:28 |
| mohkohn | I am also trying to connect my ubuntu laptop as well. | 17:28 |
| arakthor | _zo: unfortunately, the ubuntu wiki is rather incomplete, so I have managed to put together my own how-to, at least for my company, and I may consider updating the wiki with what I have found | 17:28 |
| fde | TheOV: Then you'll need to burn another CD. The command line system isn't just the base system though. | 17:28 |
| mohkohn | Both vista and hardy say they connect but no internet. | 17:29 |
| TheOV | fde: this time it's working!!! | 17:29 |
| fde | arakthor: Definitely please do! | 17:29 |

| melch | hey can someone tell me why is it when i sleep the ath_apci model will not load and i am kept awake. Is there a way i can make it run a script so modprobe -r it when it goes to sleep | 17:52 |
| TheOV | fde: why does the "storing language" (75%) take so long? | 17:52 |
| hischild | biesbjerg__: you will probably have to reboot or something, as apt can sometimes remove software and let it run untill it is shut down. | 17:52 |
| fde | Chuggst3r: ahh... you were having that issue when we last spoke... it's just another symtom of it... I'm not actually aware of how to fix it though... it is a sudo issue.... | 17:52 |
| legend2440 | Chuggst3r: gksu gedit /etc/hosts make sure it says nick-desktop in there | 17:53 |
| biesbjerg__ | cybrside, hischild : No, thought the uninstall script did that. But apt said it removed it and then I rebooted. Still there tho | 17:53 |
| fde | TheOV: It's a HUGE package. It is creating locales for about 20 forms of English... | 17:53 |
| hischild | fde: a slow sudo execution can be caused by the host not being in /etc/hosts. | 17:53 |
| hischild | (just to let you know | 17:53 |
| hischild | biesbjerg__: that's odd. And if you go to http://localhost it still works? | 17:53 |
| MrBashir | hischild: hold on, I have installed that already, but I like to have a GUI for that (your command only returns the deamon) | 17:54 |
| biesbjerg__ | hischild: Yea, I installed the server through the ubuntu installation but that probably doesn't matter? | 17:54 |
| Chuggst3r | legend2440: What exactly am I looking for? | 17:54 |
| hischild | MrBashir: then it most likely has no GUI with it, unless that option is already there in the menu's. | 17:54 |
| Chuggst3r | legend2440: I've got this 127.0.1.1 nick-desktop.workgroupname | 17:54 |
| fde | hischild: legend2440: I am sort of aware of how to fix it, but I've never actually done it, so I'm not comfortable assisting... however if sudo is broken, why would using sudo have anythig to do with the fix? | 17:54 |
| hischild | biesbjerg__: that's odd. That shouldn't matter. | 17:54 |
| fde | legend2440: I think he needs to boot to runlevel 1 and edit that file and /etc/hostname | 17:55 |
| anirudh0 | fde, whats the difference in the various english locales? | 17:55 |
| legend2440 | Chuggst3r: i think should just say nick-desktop without workgroupname but maybe backup before changing | 17:55 |
| hischild | fde: Chuggst3r: problem is that having .workgroupname after the host makes sudo resolv that first, which can take a long time. | 17:55 |
| hischild | legend2440: ^ | 17:55 |

| cyrus | So ya, anyone know about samba shares? | 17:56 |
| fde | cyrus: For basic things, I can help... for more advanced, try #samba maybe... | 17:56 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: Well I took the workgroup name out and it seems to have gone away. | 17:56 |
| Chuggst3r | fde: Would it fix the update-manager problem as well? | 17:57 |
| * fde doesn't understand how you can edit a file via sudo when sudo is broken | 17:57 | |
| fde | Chuggst3r: It should, yes... try it :) | 17:57 |
| hischild | fde: it just takes a long time. Also, you can edit it via the menu's which shouldn't need sudo. | 17:57 |
| biesbjerg__ | hischild: I reinstall it all and typed apt-get remove apache2-mpm-prefork | 17:57 |

| facilitador | how do to install package automatically solve all depedencias in ubuntu? | 17:59 |
| fde | cyrus: actually, according to that file... it obeys /etc/passwd ... that file contains home directories. | 17:59 |

| Jack_Sparrow | wastedyouth <ubottu> To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 18:24 |

| iuri | hi there. what is the name of the file that hold users information such as homedir | 18:26 |

| Jack_Sparrow | wastedyouth What were you doing when you lost panels | 18:27 |
| fde | TheOV: Hmm, that may explain it... also explains your use of the alternate cd :D | 18:27 |
| Flannel | iuri: There is no single file, it's a bunch of files in their homedir | 18:27 |
| Dillizar | are you now on the ubuntu Catslacks | 18:27 |
| PdUb101 | hi guys, i was wondering if it was possible to set a key binding in Compiz fusion that will allow me to rotate the cube to the left by pressing a single key?? | 18:27 |

| Catslacks | Dillizar: Yes. | 18:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wastedyouth Which release/distro are you using | 18:27 |

| legend2440 | Chuggst3r: maybe reboot needed | 18:28 |
| Catslacks | Dillizar: I am on 8.04, and I am connected through an ethernet cable to my router | 18:28 |

| iuri | Flannel, no, i am tring to change the user homedir when it log in | 18:29 |
| fde | PdUb101: It's the cube plugin if you'd rather use compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:29 |
| boozkachu | Jack_Sparrow: Bummer | 18:29 |
| shadowman | why is ubuntu.com down? | 18:30 |
| m-c | boozkachu: potentially - but directx is a closed solution. at best you will only emulate a windows environment. why not choose to run free software alternatives? | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | boozkachu I dual boot for directx games | 18:30 |
| Flannel | iuri: So, you want to change the homedir to somewhere else? What reason, may I ask? | 18:30 |
| detrate | How do packages make it into ubuntu repositories? / Where can I find out who maintains a package and bug them to update it? | 18:30 |

| iuri | Flannel, thanks anyway | 18:30 |
| usser | boozkachu, some games work though, like CS:S i get 60-70 fps | 18:30 |
| Flannel | iuri: Why do you want to change it though? | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | boozkachu there is some work on directx in wine, but I dont know much about it as it is still beta from what I heard | 18:30 |
| Catslacks | Dillizar: What? | 18:30 |
| boozkachu | m-c: Jack_Sparrow : I would really like to use Linux, as the licensing cost of windows for this many machines is crazy. Also my clients would want to (expect) to play recent PC games | 18:31 |
| iuri | to safe time typing all the time i logged | 18:31 |
| Flannel | detrate: You can view the package information. In synaptic, or apt-cache show [package] | 18:31 |
| boozkachu | Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks | 18:31 |
| iuri | Flannel, to safe time typing all the time i logged | 18:31 |
| Flannel | iuri: What? How will it save you typing? | 18:31 |
| Flannel | iuri: ~/ is your home directory | 18:31 |

| iuri | Flannel, witohut any permissions | 18:32 |
| m-c | boozkachu: you seem to be missing the reason why your licensing costs are so high, it is because you are in a closed solution. directx puts you in a similar situation | 18:32 |

| Flannel | TheOV: yep. releases.ubuntu.com | 18:41 |
| Slart | Bits: you do what you want.. it's your laptop.. I think there is a swapiness setting somewhere in the /proc/ tree to control how the kernel manages memory | 18:41 |
| fde | Jack_Sparrow: Flannel: The issue is that gnome-panel depends gnome-about which depends on that version... so is broken | 18:41 |

| fde | Jack_Sparrow: Yes... VirtualBox in hardy is broken since kernel -17 without hardy-proposed enabled. | 18:43 |

| recon69 | rawmeat: check sys->prefs->screen res , it that dont have the screen size you want check sys->admin->hardware drivers and see if you got restricted drivers avaiable | 18:46 |

| Cyndrework | flobbo: okay, how do you have them setup? | 19:12 |

| mitchell | Jack_Sparrow: i use dsl wired | 19:24 |

| DJones | cygoku: Give me a minute while I check, certainly noy proposed updates, but I might have backports enabled | 19:25 |
| philsf | obf213: I don't mind messing with xorg.conf if it gets it work (I used xf86config and had to read monitor freqs in the manual, back in the day) | 19:25 |

| Jack_Sparrow | imagine Not all themes are complete, not all will work... especially if you are running effects | 19:27 |
| imagine | ok man ;) | 19:27 |
| DJones | cygoku: no, just checked, i've just got the default repo's enabled, i'm using the united kingdom server, it might be worth changing servers and also updating synaptic in case there's an old update thats been replaced | 19:28 |
| fde | wastedyouth: can you try 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop' for me? it may or may not have some logic with using older versions of packages. | 19:28 |
| imagine | so how can i do to get those which works... | 19:28 |
| flobbo | Cyndrework: same crap as before, x is slow and the panels expand across 2 screens. doh. | 19:28 |
| varaonaid | Jack_Sparrow: as I'm going through the reconfigure accepting defaults, it quits in the middle of the keyboard choices with the error "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080520142605" so I never get the chance to change the video drivers | 19:28 |

In the past this used to accur and I used sudo /etc/init.d/netowrking restart to regain network but now this isn;t working anymore! I have to restar | 19:29 |
| mitchell | restart | 19:29 |
| imagine | Jack_Sparrow so ? what can i do ;) | 19:29 |

| fde | mitchell: hmm... I have never used dialup with Linux. | 19:29 |
| cygoku | DJones, how do I change the server ? | 19:30 |
| wastedyouth | fde: It says it is already the newest version. But I"m noticing I can't install evolution and it isn't there | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mitchell Dialup and linux are not a good combo | 19:30 |
| varaonaid | Jack_Sparrow: I understand that, I want it to, but it only does the keyboard before giving me that error and abruptly ending. I never get to the video card editing. | 19:30 |
| perillux | is there a way to print text to an existing image via a shell script? | 19:30 |
| imagine | Jack_Sparrow nice ok man but tell me plz what do u do to get new look for ur ubuntu os | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | varaonaid then you have deeper problems than just your res | 19:31 |
| cygoku | DJones, found it,... | 19:31 |
| fde | wastedyouth: When it removed gnome-panel it should have removed ubuntu-desktop cuz of deps... strange... | 19:31 |
| Aragorn | Okay, so when Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) releases in October, Feisty Fawn will expire. So I have plenty of time :] | 19:31 |
| fde | wastedyouth: dpkg -l gnome-panel please | 19:31 |
| Xpisto1 | I am actually getting more crashes with heron than with my xp partition | 19:31 |
| Xpisto1 | lame | 19:31 |
| Pici | perillux: Something within the imagemagick package might be able to do that. | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | imagine PIck a gtk2 theme and drag and drop it onto the open theme manager | 19:31 |
| Cyndrework | flobbo: sorry I cant help you. Only 1 video card, sorry | 19:31 |
| mitchell | fde: its a DSL connection e | 19:31 |

| mitchell | fde:not a 56k one | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xpisto1 Please ask a question and avoid the discussion | 19:31 |

| wastedyouth | HOw do I show the results without spamming the channel fde? | 19:32 |

| varaonaid | Jack_Sparrow: should I give up on Ubuntu then? It's a clean install of Hardy on a freshly partitioned HD and it's never booted into Ubuntu. | 19:33 |
| fde | mitchell: I want to know why ubuntu-desktop is even still installed... heh... I'm not having the issue, so I want to know what exactly is wrong to more easily diagnose. | 19:33 |
| Xpisto1 | Jack_Sparrow: My question is has anyone else been having issues with heron crashing? | 19:33 |

| rodolfo | how to make compiz fusion not to be initialized on system startup? Ubuntu hardy here. | 19:33 |
| usser | Leif, they pbbly turned into sda sdb and sdc :) | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | varaonaid up to you.. try gutsy but unichrome isnt a decent video card you might try swapping that out | 19:33 |
| recon69 | varaonaid: I would suggest the forums. | 19:34 |
| Xpisto1 | recon69: Have you had trouble like this with gutsy? | 19:34 |
| fde | wastedyouth: It's installed... so what exactly is broken in proposed? | 19:34 |
| Leif | usser: thanks, I'll look at that | 19:34 |
| wastedyouth | fde: My gnome panel is back though after adding it back to sources | 19:34 |
| wastedyouth | fde: But now evolution wont install | 19:34 |
| varaonaid | recon69: I did already and after several days, no help :( that's why I decided to try here. | 19:34 |
| recon69 | nope, used 6.06 before. but did a clean install | 19:34 |
| l815 | how do i install kde 4.0.1 without installing all the extra kubuntu stuff? | 19:34 |
| fde | wastedyouth: dpkg -l evolution | grep ^ii ... it has to be there... it's a dep of ubuntu-desktop also. | 19:34 |
| varaonaid | Jack_Sparrow: it's a laptop so I'm not sure it's the easiest to swap out - if so, it's above my level of knowledge. | 19:35 |
| Zozma | don't you want all the kubuntu stuff? (I don't know anytihng about kubuntu so...) | 19:35 |
| recon69 | varaonaid: do you have a link to your post | 19:35 |
| fde | wastedyouth: actually leave out everything after | | 19:35 |

| frogmeat | legend2440: about my grub config (thanks so much by the way) should I reorder them or is it safe to just delete them? | 20:00 |
| sa125 | how can I change my computer's inet address? It's currently 10.0.0.1 behind the router, and I want it to be something else, like 10.0.0.5 | 20:01 |
| gordonjcp | Gaming4JC: does anyone even do dialup internet access any more? | 20:01 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: hang on, sorry was looking for a phone number | 20:01 |
| SliMM | gaintsura: it's allright | 20:01 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: I need to know the mfg/model of the motherboard in the PC | 20:01 |

| Dr_Link | or does ANYONE here use sound? | 20:03 |

| sa125 | gordonjcp: how do I set it manually? I tried looking through the network settings gui but got lost | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | Gaming4JC: but you'd need to come to Scotland for them, which is probably not really worth it | 20:03 |
| bonhoffer | i thought it was kill %1 | 20:03 |
| bonhoffer | but that doesn't work (it also doesn't return an error) | 20:03 |

| fde | wastedyouth: uhh... sudo that | 20:04 |
| wastedyouth | fde: okay its installing | 20:04 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: pop open the case and look around on the mobo, there should be some model numbers on it, as long as I have those I can find the rest out | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | sa125: open "Network Settings", unlock it, click on the connection you want to change, and set it to "Static IP Address" | 20:04 |
| wastedyouth | fde: has dependency problems | 20:04 |
| frogmeat | legend2440: now I noticed that xen is still getting updates through the manager, and it is not listed in the add/remove screen, is there a way to get rid of xen from the update list, if there is something like that | 20:04 |
| wastedyouth | fde: but says it installed it anyways | 20:05 |

| wastedyouth | fde: now I got a big red circle on my system notification... says I got two broken packages... evolution and evolution-data-server | 20:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eri1 It must need a driver that is not available (non-standard mouse) | 20:22 |
| wastedyouth | fde: I'm inclined to ignore it because its working | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eri1 What exact make and model | 20:22 |

| ed2020 | I have dual-booted Ubuntu with WinXP using Wubi. I only assigned 4GB of drive space to it, which has proven to be nowhere near enough. Is it possible to increase this without doing a full uninstall/reinstall? | 20:23 |
| Eri1 | its black. says logitech on the bottom, the rest is worn off. m-s69 is the m/n. | 20:23 |
| Eri1 | just plugs into the ps/2 port in the back, next to my keyboard. | 20:23 |
| Eri1 | ver simple. | 20:23 |
| N8ESK | legend2440 I'll try that thanks | 20:23 |
| fde | wastedyouth: Yes, ignore... just install the updates when they get to you... | 20:23 |
| ijusten | ed2020, I had that same problem few weeks back | 20:23 |
| ed2020 | ijusten, did you find a solution? :) | 20:24 |
| ijusten | there is a program to fix that, however, last I checked they hadn't updated it to 8.04 yet | 20:24 |
| Eri1 | where do i start looking on my system to change, configure,.....hell, anything.... | 20:24 |
| ijusten | Meanwhile, you can try to do it manually, but I found it too complicated and just installed ubuntu again | 20:24 |
| fde | wastedyouth: Do not activate -proposed again though, I can't stress that enough... or if you must, just be more aware of what it's saying it'll be doing | 20:24 |
| zibi9797 | hey | 20:24 |
| ijusten | of course, this was few weeks back, the proggie might be updated by now | 20:24 |
| Pxrbot | My broadcom wireless doesnt seem to be showing up. it has before, but recently it seems as if the hardware isnt installed, any ideas? | 20:24 |
| zibi9797 | i've got a problem | 20:24 |
| Xcell | Eri1 what exactly is not working | 20:24 |
| ed2020 | What was the application? | 20:24 |
| Pers3ux | Hi. i have problem with compiling smartlink modem driver. | 20:24 |
| Eri1 | the mouse. | 20:24 |
| Xcell | at all? | 20:24 |
| wastedyouth | fde: I think I learned my lesson =) | 20:25 |
| fde | wastedyouth: I'd recommend activating it for single package installs, then disabling it... or just be more patient :) | 20:25 |
| zibi9797 | i have burned a ubuntu 8.04 alternate and i wonna to install yhis in wubi | 20:25 |
| Eri1 | the pointer just sits there. i've had to enable mousekeys just to make it this far to be able to ask about it. this is day 5 of "lets try ubuntu". | 20:25 |
| zibi9797 | i don't have iso and i can't grab them | 20:25 |
| wastedyouth | fde: when update manager run it says I need to do a partial upgrade... which I believe is how I got into this mess. I wont touch it again | 20:25 |
| legend2440 | N8ESK: if you right click on desktop is there context menu that says Open Terminal? | 20:25 |
| Eri1 | .... and so far.... i can honestly say windows (any version) is vastly superior just due to this inconvenience. | 20:26 |
| zibi9797 | can anybody help e | 20:26 |
| zibi9797 | *me | 20:26 |
| fde | zibi9797: Wubi's installer will grab the stuff you need automatically, the alternate CD is for installing to harddrive... | 20:26 |
| Xcell | hmmmn.. U may google imwheel and take a look.. just a suggestion | 20:26 |
| zibi9797 | fde: but i can't download this | 20:26 |
| wastedyouth | Okay, anybody know how to change the audacious tray icon? | 20:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eri1 Running supported hardware will help with ANY OS you care to try | 20:27 |
| Eri1 | what good is a gui o/s without a mouse interface..... especially when there's no easy way to see where, how, or why my mouse isn't working. | 20:27 |
| Cyndrework | is there any system performance testing software for ubuntu? | 20:27 |
| fde | wastedyouth: haha... good thinking... just watch for newer version of evolution. your current is 2.22.2-0ubuntu2 ... watch for ubuntu3 or 2.22.3, then install that. | 20:27 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: any luck? | 20:27 |
| Xcell | Cyndre_work what do you want to test? | 20:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eri1 It is a logitec mouse that requires special windows only drivers.. nothing we can do will help with that | 20:28 |
| fde | wastedyouth: Until then, just always uncheck those packages | 20:28 |
| Eri1 | and there's a lot of excuses. and no answers. somebody has to know how to look at where or how the mouse is configured in ubuntu, drivers, etc.... | 20:28 |
| Kl4m | Cyndrework: depends for testing what | 20:28 |
| Eri1 | so, nobody knows how to FIX this. | 20:28 |
| Cyndrework | kl4m: kinda like a system evaluation that tells you a score for your performance | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eri1 No. Buy a generic mouse or look in supported hardware wiki | 20:29 |

| Dr_Link | In the Sound manager, I have set up to Ensoniq AudioPCI (which is the ONLY PCI one listed, I have integrated sound disabled and the speakers plugged into the sound card | 20:40 |
| gordonjcp | Dr_Link: I don't care | 20:40 |

| Warbo | Dr_Link, perhaps it's to do with gstreamer or something? Try looking in gstreamer-properties | 20:41 |

| Xcell | ok | 20:48 |
| navetz | is there a way to do cp ./* ~/* and not replace files that already exist but rather give it a new filename? | 20:48 |
| amrik | !torrents | 20:48 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: you should be able to disable any other boot devices (something like setting 'Try other boot devices' to disabled) and setting it to boot from CD first | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). | 20:48 |
| G_` | Dr_Link, if ur getting a specific video without audio then change audio track | 20:49 |
| [Realin] | fde, i am already using UBUNTU ? and i ordered a DVD from UBUNTU | 20:49 |
| SliMM | gaintsura: it's set to boot from CD first and from hd 0 second | 20:49 |
| SliMM | the hdd is empty | 20:49 |
| Slart | navetz: sometimes when I think cp doesn't do what I want I use rsync instead.. take a look at it.. see if it can do what you want | 20:49 |
| gaintsura | ok, so set the try other boot devices to disabled | 20:49 |
| keelobight | is anyone in here running dual monitors? | 20:49 |
| SliMM | gaintsura: but it tries the floppy | 20:49 |
| dbarnett | navetz: probably not without a script | 20:49 |
| Gaming4JC | Ok I'm going to get on LiveCD now from Hoary Hedgehog and see if I can get it started with my modem (The Heron is in the mail). | 20:49 |

| navetz | Slart: ok thanks. | 20:50 |
| fde | [Realin]: Cool... then what are you having difficulty with? | 20:50 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | Does anyone know how Linux software writers write applications that will detect other 'trial versions' of their software having been ran before on Ubuntu? I have an app that even if I download fresh and place in a seperate file, the trial period remains the same as the earlier downloaded instance. Without a registry (like Windows), how does it know? | 20:50 |
| praet | Q: Is it possible to scranble a plaintext password in a script file (bash)? | 20:50 |
| Slart | Gizmo_The_Great: never seen that kind of software in linux.. | 20:50 |
| [Realin] | I am on virtaul machine, using VMWARE, where in UBUNTU is my guest OS and host is VISTA HOME | 20:50 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: there may be a hidden file in your homedir | 20:50 |
| Gaming4JC | brb going into Ubuntu | 20:50 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | Slart, me neither - that's why I was quite shocked | 20:50 |
| [Realin] | i need to share my VISTA drives to ubuntu | 20:50 |
| praet | Gizmo_The_Great: look for hidden files | 20:50 |
| Slart | Gizmo_The_Great: but the home folder and a .file there might work | 20:50 |
| smo | hi | 20:51 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: if you do "ls -al | less" then you can see all the files including hidden ones | 20:51 |
| sasddfg | which is the command to see the kernel version? | 20:51 |
| Kl4m | [Realin]: it seems Ubuntu dropped the vmware modules for ubuntu 8.04, in favor of open virtualization such as kvm or virtualbox. You'll have to find them somewhere else | 20:51 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | praet, Slart yes, good point. I will have a look | 20:51 |
| gordonjcp | sasddfg: uname -a | 20:51 |
| sasddfg | thks | 20:51 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: what is the app anyway? | 20:51 |
| [Realin] | shall i shift to kvm/virtualbox ?? | 20:51 |
| praet | virtualbox is great :) | 20:51 |
| smo | i make some live cd... yesterday i had a kernel update in my chroot so i updated the initramfs, and it still ask for old kernel when booting!! | 20:51 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | gordonjcp, LightZone by LightCrafts (www.lightcrafts.com) | 20:51 |
| smo | an idear.? | 20:51 |
| PdUb101 | is there a way to reset compiz to default settings? | 20:52 |
| keelobight | hi | 20:52 |
| keelobight | screw this | 20:52 |
| fde | [Realin]: You need to set up Sharing on the Windows box... then you be able to browse to it via Places > Network > Windows Network | 20:52 |
| [Realin] | letme check , thanks praet | 20:52 |
| praet | PdUb101: clear your settings | 20:52 |
| Kl4m | [Realin]: I recommend virtualbox. I had a vmware workstation 5 for work and went with virtualbox now | 20:52 |
| PdUb101 | praet, how please? | 20:52 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: what's that, just something for fiddling with brightness and contrast? | 20:52 |
| praet | PdUb101: cssm (the config manager) > Preferences | 20:53 |
| smo | remove compiz dir in /home/xxx/.config PdUb101 | 20:53 |
| smo | or by ccsm.. | 20:53 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | gordonjcp, it's a raw photo processing tool for photographers | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: hm, it handles .raw files? | 20:53 |
| praet | in ccsm there is a "reset to defaults button" but smo is right | 20:53 |
| [Realin] | cool, i am off to google for a while, see u guys, thanks for help :) | 20:53 |
| [Realin] | one more question, how do i backup the packages which i installed last night? i installed using sudo apt-get. I mean do i have download them everytime i do a clean install ? | 20:53 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | gordonjcp, yes - very much so | 20:53 |
| fde | [Realin]: VirtualBox is very nice... KVM allows you to run both OS's side by side, rather than virtualized though, so it's like dual booting without restarting :) - your hardware has to support it though. | 20:54 |
| Kl4m | !aptoncd | [Realin] | 20:54 |
| ubottu | [Realin]: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: http://my.opera.com/area42/blog/2007/01/16/working-with-raw-images-and-gimp | 20:54 |
| Starnestommy | !cloning > [Realin] | 20:54 |
| Asra | anyone else having the problem of Update Manager not starting installs? | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: I tend to use command-line tools when I'm dealing with .raw images | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: but then I'm usually dealing with a few thousand at a time ;-) | 20:54 |
| Slart | [Realin]: if you're going to install a lot of computers on some kind of internal network you can setup a apt cache.. !info apt-cache for more info | 20:54 |
| PdUb101 | smo, ahh thank you! | 20:54 |
| luckz | theov riginal release of 8.04 was quite bugged, I heard. is it better now? | 20:54 |
| smo | np | 20:54 |
| [Realin] | move packages to other machine, can't i take a backup in dvd/cd ? | 20:55 |
| Kl4m | [Realin]: use aptoncd | 20:55 |
| johnathan | hey anyone know anything about DC++? | 20:55 |
| [Realin] | ok thanks li4m | 20:55 |
| luckz | johnathan: I know it's great software, but.. | 20:55 |
| [Realin] | Kl4m :D | 20:55 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: the company I work for shoots timelapse images with DSLRs and specially-made controllers | 20:55 |
| luckz | sure not if you want to, say, transfer frogmeat to somebody else, but for file sharing it's great ;) | 20:56 |
| [Realin] | and why do i have to give password everytime and why cant i be root ? What is the password for root, when i din set it.. I mean i was not asked to do that | 20:56 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | gordonjcp, I have done before too - imagemagick especially. But LightZone has batch processing options. It's better than the GIMP, Photoshop and all those others. Works in 16-bit too. But I take your point - LightZone is not designed for those who take thousands of shots in a shoot - I doubt in your case if you have timelapse stuff to deal with it would not be suitable I don't think | 20:56 |
| out | õâàòèò ïèçäåòü | 20:56 |
| Kl4m | !sudo | [Realin] | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: http://timelapse.designiscentral.com/ | 20:56 |
| ubottu | [Realin]: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 20:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !root | 20:56 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:56 |
| luckz | johnathan: which direct connect implementation precisely are you trying to get to work? | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: that's a building site, but it's going to be a museum. We're shooting it at 6Mpix, every two minutes, for the next three years | 20:57 |

| [Realin] | Artificially intelligent | 20:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | [Realin] | 20:57 |
| ubottu | [Realin]: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | Gizmo_The_Great: the pic shown there on the page is done with imagemagick, scaled, cropped and then the overlays dropped in | 20:58 |

| syrius` | hmm | 21:13 |
| _Christian | hi ? | 21:13 |
| newibae | Can anyone help me get out of this low graphics mode... I tried installing nvidia drivers on my own and have been stuck with lowgraphics mode for 2 days | 21:13 |
| syrius` | i used the instructions from the ubuntu site, i'll try a diff one | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Asra sounds like more is borked up than just the updates | 21:13 |
| ompaul | !resolution | newibae | 21:13 |

| gaintsura | anyone know why I cant upgrade gdm? ubuntu is telling me that there is an update for it, but when I go to get it, says location not found | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | syrius` try compiling with no changes just to make sure nothing else is going on | 21:13 |
| danand | syrius` - did you compile your gfx card driver yourself? if your using a new kernel name or such you might need to recompile your gfx driver.... had this issue before... | 21:13 |
| SliMM | gaintsura: i think i've found a working floppy disk | 21:13 |
| Asra | hmmm .. not really .. all is working fine except that ... must say ... updates are still trying to run as we speak though | 21:14 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: lol nice | 21:14 |
| syrius` | I am using an ATI Radeon Mobility driver, and using the restricted-modules to support it | 21:14 |
| SliMM | gaintsura: yeah, i did, just some old TIFFs | 21:14 |
| syrius` | but did not recompile those yet | 21:14 |
| syrius` | i was undert he impression i had to do the initial compile/install before i could recompile the restricted modules | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Asra Updates wont run and sudo has issues etc.. | 21:14 |
| cotorrux | hello, im new here, can someone help me with a little problem? | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask | 21:14 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 21:14 |
| _Christian | hi i need help i have my ubuntu server 8.04 installed and i conect other hd to slave for more space in the pc | 21:15 |
| syrius` | danand: I need to recompile gfx drivers before the kernel compile is what you're saying? | 21:15 |
| _Christian | but the bios yes detect but when iniciate the ubuntu only i have 1 hd :/ ! | 21:15 |
| syrius` | on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomRestrictedModules it says: Note: this will only work if you have created AND installed linux-image and linux-header or linux-source packages | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cotorrux Welcome.. Please just try and form the best question possible | 21:15 |
| Gaming4JC | hello again, I have some troubles... :( | 21:16 |
| cotorrux | ok..how can i charge in the console the xfce goodies after install? | 21:16 |
| SliMM | gaintsura: ha! a working GRUB floppy | 21:16 |
| Gaming4JC | I can't compile this since I can't get the compilation tools without being online, if some one could please make a deb for: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-6_for_Ubuntu-2.6.15-23-386.tgz much creditz and thanks. :) | 21:16 |
| syrius` | I'm also using the up to date kernel, just recompiling it and for the --append-to-version i'm just doing 'rupert', my machine name | 21:16 |
| ganjaman | i need weedbuntu | 21:16 |
| Kl4m | _Christian, first you have to edit partitions on this disk if necessary. using fdisk or cfdisk or parted. You can see partitions for all local disks with sudo fdisk -l | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ganjaman Cute.. but offtopic | 21:16 |
| danand | syrius` - no ... just that you may need to recompile the gfx drivers against the new version of the kernel your running. I had this problem with my nvidia card on an old debian box. each time i recompiled the kernel (i was always screwing up my options :)) i had to recompile the gfx drivers before X would work again... | 21:17 |
| _Christian | ·<{Kl4m}>· | 21:17 |
| syrius` | ahhhh | 21:17 |
| ganjaman | kl4m roger | 21:17 |
| newibae | I need help reinstalling the nvidia restricted drivers to get out of Low-graphics mode | 21:17 |

| Kl4m | _Christian: if you don't need to touch any paritions on it, you need to edit (yeah unfortunately...) /etc/fstab to use the files on the partitions | 21:17 |
| gaintsura | SliMM: even better, now see if you can boot to the cd from there | 21:17 |
| Kl4m | !fstab | _Christian | 21:17 |

| ompaul | ganjaman, what you doing? | 21:18 |
| Xcell | newibae-- also install nvidia settings manager..works good | 21:18 |

| newibae | then I type nvidia-xconfig as root and same crap happens | 21:19 |
| gaintsura | add a new line in the grub, /dev/hda0 (I think thats right, you might want to check with someone else to make sure) | 21:19 |
| ompaul | Kl4m, ehh you are offtopic | 21:20 |
| syrius` | ok tryin to recompile restricted-modules first lets give this a try | 21:20 |
| leonardus | We wish to setupa a linux user group in our college can you let me know what are the official procedures involved in it | 21:20 |
| Asra | Uhm ... Jack_Sparrow? | 21:20 |
| ganjast | heh | 21:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Asra YEs? | 21:20 |
| gaintsura | is there a way to add the force option in the /etc/fstab file to a drive? | 21:20 |
| Alan_M | leonardus, not the room to ask about that, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:21 |
| Asra | could you come to the IM I opened | 21:21 |
| newibae | sudoneo | 21:21 |
| luckz | leonardus: I'm not sure what kind of 'official procedures' there could be | 21:21 |
| ganjast | i got a problem with fstab | 21:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gaintsura I would not routinely force a drive in fstab.. | 21:21 |
| newibae | NO Proprietary drivers are in use on this system......... What do i do | 21:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pm | Asra | 21:21 |
| ubottu | Asra: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 21:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ganjast Please describe the problem. | 21:22 |
| ganjast | how can i change from ext3 to xfs without reinstall ubuntu? | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newibae try envyng | 21:22 |
| Asra | *sigh* ... ok | 21:22 |
| danand | syrius` - hmmm.... not sure... can you not get to a shell to try and fix/compile your driver with your new kernel running? By the way have you looked in your X logs to see what is causing the problem... may not be anything to do with the gfx driver or kernel ... I would try and look at those first... | 21:22 |
| syrius` | danand: would i be able to PM you for a moment? | 21:22 |
| danand | ok | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ganjast That isnt an fstab issue.. more like a death wish.. make a backup | 21:22 |
| ganjast | is there something like a convertfs /dev/sda1 ext3 xfs or command? | 21:22 |
| Asra | I'll see what it does after restart since I now took of my Root pw | 21:23 |
| Xcell | lol | 21:23 |
| Kl4m | ganjast: you can't change the filesystem from ext to xfs without formatting that partition. You need a backup, then reformat, and put the files back | 21:23 |
| ganjast | i have everything backed up | 21:23 |
| ganjast | but only the files, not the settings | 21:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ganjast everything... not just your files | 21:23 |

| thehurley | any advice? | 21:37 |
| erpo | What should the directory ownership and permissions be on ~/.dbus ? | 21:37 |
| Gaming4JC | OK, What I am wondering is why there is no official support (on Ubuntu or any distro) for WinModems. If it be legaliteis it seems kind of strange since it's Open Source coding... Also, there should be a list of distributers with Linux 'Hardware' Modems that is well defined. just a thought. | 21:38 |
| erpo | Gaming4JC: Winmodem manufacturers don't release documentation on how their hardware works, so FOSS driver writers can't write drivers. It's nothing to do with the law. | 21:38 |
| Jatz | winmodem manufacturers are jerks | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gaming4JC We cant provide drivers for your winmodem.. for one dialup is dead and no one wants to bother.. There is a list of supported hardware available.. and was linked for you earlier | 21:39 |
| virtuald | sound from the adobe flash plugin in stopped working, where can i look for error messages? | 21:39 |
| erpo | Jack_Sparrow: Dialup is not dead. I just hooked a friend up to dialup and I had to put windows on her PC because her modem wasn't supported under linux. | 21:39 |
| Gaming4JC | What about the drivers here? http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ couldn't they be included then | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | virtuald Run ff in a terminal | 21:39 |
| Gaming4JC | Yes, dial-up is still popular here :-/ | 21:39 |
| Jatz | quick question: what's a command to get the total size of a folder? | 21:39 |

| cens0red | What does this error mean? "The application 'evolution' (/usr/bin/evolution) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked" | 21:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erpo So she installed an expensive OS.. $100 instead of buying a supported modem for under $25.. not very smart | 21:41 |
| virtuald | it might be impossible to do with pico | 21:42 |
| Childi | Hi | 21:42 |
| erpo | Jack_Sparrow: $0. | 21:42 |
| virtuald | (i.e. read the documentation) | 21:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | erpo I dint mean to drift offtopic and into discussion, just trying to point out the irony of that situation | 21:45 |
| Gaming4JC | erpo: Haven't you found it a pain to get linux modem drivers too? All I'm saying is they need support for it and a lot of people still use Dial-Up... | 21:45 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 21:45 |
| Childi | So how i can download the scanning tv channel list? whats the command? | 21:45 |
| erpo | Jack_Sparrow: Anyway, the point is that lack of winmodem support is what caused the switch to Windows. | 21:45 |
| l815 | what do i do when terminal is stuck loading a module ? | 21:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gaming4JC Buy the driver.. something like $30... | 21:46 |
| erpo | Jack_Sparrow: Not that I fault Ubuntu for not having winmodem support. That's unreasonable to ask. | 21:46 |
| l815 | nvm | 21:46 |

| moonyloony | more specific | 21:55 |
| erpo | Gaming4JC: What you want in a PCI modem is a device that actually pretends to be a serial port (connected to a modem). These are sometimes called "hardware modems" as opposed to "software modems" or "winmodems". | 21:55 |
| neavbie | I forgot the command I ran... something about install nvidia glx | 21:55 |
| codecaine | whats the question | 21:55 |

| Slart | ah.. envyng.. yes.. forgot about that option | 22:24 |
| Alan_M | aguitel, thats very strange, is the panel not visible or can you just not get to a menu because of restrictions? | 22:24 |
| Slart | Fogel1497: nothing that is better | 22:24 |
| Slart | Fogel1497: the alternatives are even worse | 22:24 |

| amrik | Fogel1497: well not really. that crappy plugin is as good as it gets, im afraid | 22:24 |
| aguitel | Alan_M: the panel is visible | 22:24 |
| CaptainMorgan | Fogel1497, firefox 2 or 3 ? | 22:24 |
| kindofabuzz | Fogel1497, try the Flash 10 beta, got rid of my skips | 22:24 |
| Luhta | envyng does not have 173.xx driver though so if you need that one you'll have to get it from the nvidia website | 22:24 |
| Fogel1497 | firefox 3 | 22:24 |
| Fogel1497 | ok ill try it. im thinking about getting a plugin to download the embedded flash, and hopefully it would play better there | 22:25 |
| Luhta | neavbie, and you're 100% certain you have an nvidia card? | 22:25 |

| Starnestommy | francesco: c, c++, and python are good | 22:45 |

| jayde_drag0n | hey there.. can anyone please tell me how i determine the partition number of my ipod? | 22:52 |
| Pelo | simply, I think that is yor best option at this point | 22:52 |
| Sonja | pelo yeah i do have those installed. another font is displaying instead of the proper arial one. i want to track down that other font and delete it or something | 22:52 |
| Pelo | jayde_drag0n, open a terminal and type blkid | 22:52 |
| ganjast | maybe your ipod is in /media | 22:52 |
| soundray | jayde_drag0n: try dmesg or 'sudo fdisk -l' | 22:52 |
| Pelo | Sonja, this is in firefox ? | 22:52 |
| Sonja | Pelo instead of the proper mscorefonts arial, i see some weird font that looks like insects with letters inside them | 22:52 |
| Alan_M | simply, try checking the md5 sum first though, see if the download was corrupted...that is my issue every time my cd's didnt work (not saying thats yours..but its possible.) | 22:52 |
| Sonja | Pelo firefox, openoffice.org, everything | 22:52 |
| jayde_drag0n | Pelo: the reason is This installer assumes that your FAT32 partition is partition number | 22:53 |
| jayde_drag0n | 2. If this is not the case, press CTRL+C now and run the installer | 22:53 |
| jayde_drag0n | again. Syntax: | 22:53 |

| ganjast | set it to utf-8 | 22:53 |
| Sonja | pelo it's not a font from another language | 22:54 |
| jayde_drag0n | Pelo: blkid did nothing | 22:54 |
| Sonja | pelo it seems to be a cheezy free font i downloaded at some point in my life, and it's overriding arial and thinks it's arial | 22:54 |
| soundray | jayde_drag0n: run it with sudo | 22:54 |

| codecaine | I know some people where having problems with newly installed hardy but the update fixed it | 22:57 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 22:57 |
| manicnerd | When updating my system I was asked about menu.lst...i choose to keep it how it is/was......to be able to boot to the new kernel would i just copy the [title, root, kernel, initrd] lines and change 2.6.24-16-generic to 2.6.24-17-generic? I'm planning on leaving the 2.6.24-16-generic in incase 2.6.24-17-generic doesnt work for me | 22:57 |
| soundray | Sonja: one thing you might check is whether the problem is in your home directory: Create a new user, and see if it happens when you log in as that. | 22:57 |
| jimmygoon | No, simple-ccsm is garbage | 22:57 |
| daemon3 | codecaine: Maybe. When was it released? | 22:57 |
| Pelo | jayde_drag0n, that command might work then try it I've never tried to isntall on another drive , | 22:57 |
| codecaine | Not to long about maybe a month | 22:57 |
| codecaine | not exactly sure | 22:57 |
| Sonja | ple should the directory in .fonts.conf link to <dir>/home/sonja/.fonts-managed</dir> as it currently does? or should it link to something like usr/share/fonts where all my fonts seem to be stored ? | 22:57 |
| Sonja | that's pelo and soundray | 22:57 |
| codecaine | my laptop had that problem but not my desktop | 22:58 |
| Pelo | jayde_drag0n, that'S how linux works, ask , get no answer , get frustrated, figure it out for yourself, when the next guy comes along , show off | 22:58 |
| Pelo | Sonja, try locate arial | 22:58 |
| jimmygoon | ubotu, ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 22:58 |
| Sonja | ok | 22:58 |

| jayde_drag0n | Pelo: lol it wasn't just no answwer in a room full of talking peopel.. its a room full of people not talking | 22:59 |
| codecaine | daemon3 run the update manager and see if it has updates for gdm | 22:59 |
| Sonja | i would have tried that but often font filenames are not named the same thing as the actual font name that programs call for | 22:59 |
| jdenhaer | I'm having trouble, trouble so much trouble... but I'm still happy | 22:59 |
| Sonja | soundray maybe i should delete that file | 22:59 |
| soundray | harpreet: what navigator? | 22:59 |
| Pelo | harpreet, what navigator ? avant windows navigator ? check on google there is a how to for ubuntu | 22:59 |
| harpreet | soundary, netscape | 22:59 |
| soundray | Sonja: rename it, so you can revert | 22:59 |
| harpreet | pelo, netscape | 22:59 |
| Sonja | soundray ok | 22:59 |
| daemon3 | codecaine: No, my system is up-to-date. | 23:00 |
| Sonja | soundray what is the terminal command for rename | 23:00 |
| Alan_M | jimmygoon, please dont try to change ubottu's "brain" in the main support room, you can try going to #ubuntu-ops and ask them to see if it can be changed to that. Thanks. | 23:00 |
| soundray | Sonja: mv | 23:00 |
| codecaine | im assuming you have the latest update you might have to reintall ubuntu-desktop like Pelo said | 23:00 |
| Pelo | harpreet, install build-essential, then look in the netscape folder, check for a INSTALL file, read and follow the instructions | 23:00 |
| jimmygoon | Alan_M, surely | 23:00 |

| afabian | arthur: upgrade processes are less reliable than clean installs, no matter what distribution or operating system you're running, as a rule of thumb. | 23:15 |
| neo_ | where do i put it | 23:15 |
| kevev | netron1234: yes that works, but I am also using -i . I have a file with urls in it I want to parse. | 23:15 |
| arthur | thats what i thought... when dose the lts end fr gusty | 23:16 |
| kevev | netron1234: I can parse file, but I cant tell wget where to put files. | 23:16 |
| neo_ | codecaine: my config file looks off doesnt it http://pastebin.com/m4a2d4610 | 23:16 |
| afabian | arthur: If you place a premium on convenience, try an upgrade. If you place a premium on a clean system with no gotchas, clean install. | 23:16 |
| Onyx | does anyone here use gyachi? i'd like to install it :\ | 23:16 |
| netron1234 | kevev -> google for the Snoopy class. its a php class that can parse html files for you. | 23:16 |
| codecaine | wow you have nothing configured | 23:16 |
| kevev | netron1234: ok | 23:16 |
| arthur | when is ubuntu going to stop updating gusty? | 23:16 |
| arthur | i use gyachi... it rocks | 23:16 |
| netron1234 | kevev -> pretty sure it can extract , with a parameter , JUST the hyperlinks... | 23:16 |
| codecaine | u need nvidia to reconfigure you fiel for you | 23:16 |
| codecaine | maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 23:17 |
| codecaine | will let you set it to nvidia | 23:17 |
| arthur | get the voice codecs its a sepret pakage to get voice working | 23:17 |

| SnakeArt | Today I've bought a Canon PIXMA MP210 multifunctional device (printer,scanner...). I'm using 64 bit gutsy gibbon and I've found on Canon website drivers for i386 linux only. Is there a 64 bit version of these drivers? | 23:17 |
| kevev | netron1234: I already have hyperlinks in a file. I want wget to grab images from each link and place them in a directory I choose. | 23:17 |
| neo_ | codecaine: Same config file... didnt do anything | 23:17 |

| codecaine | open synaptics and type in nvidia | 23:19 |
| netron1234 | kevev -> snoopy will stick the hyperlinks into an array. just use the "foreach" command to iterate over it (in php_)... in the middle of the foreach , do an exec("wget....) to grab each image. | 23:19 |
| codecaine | and check them for unistall | 23:19 |

| erUSUL | !ask | Mad10000 | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Mad10000: 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. :-) | 23:27 |
| codecaine | check your xorg.conf | 23:27 |

| 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) | 23:31 |
| Gaming4JC | *did not | 23:31 |
| soundray | daemon3: you should log into failsafe mode and 'mkdir gnome-backup ; mv .gnome .gnome2 .gconf gnome-backup'. When you next log in normally, a default config will be recreated. | 23:31 |
| Mad10000 | erUSUL that worked fine and the upgrade is running | 23:31 |
| daemon3 | soundray: | 23:31 |
| daemon3 | Thanks. I also think the problems is with Nautilus. | 23:31 |
| codecaine | I have a question when you reconfigre the xserver | 23:32 |
| AlexMorr1s | erUSUL: i can pastebin np -- but what about the error | 23:32 |
| daemon3 | The desktop keeps freezing. | 23:32 |
| codecaine | did you choose nvidia to be your driver? | 23:32 |
| soundray | daemon3: move .nautilus as well, then | 23:32 |
| neo_ | reconfigure xserver? | 23:32 |
| neo_ | i didnt do that | 23:32 |
| codecaine | try this real quick | 23:32 |

| Gaming4JC | Also, Palo, I couldn't get the compile tools from the disk. It simply said "Error" cannot connect to "ubuntu/blah/blah/bin. | 23:33 |
| codecaine | it will mod your xorg.conf | 23:33 |

| turbulentfluid | HEllo all... I need help with virtualbox... | 23:33 |
| codecaine | you don't have nvidia-xconfig? | 23:33 |
| Starnestommy | turbulentfluid: what kind of help do you need with it? | 23:33 |
| turbulentfluid | When I create a machine, I try and run it, | 23:33 |
| codecaine | you should if you installed nvidia driver | 23:33 |
| soundray | !enter | turbulentfluid | 23:33 |
| ubottu | turbulentfluid: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:33 |
| turbulentfluid | Whoops... I was just to paste in the message I got. | 23:34 |
| turbulentfluid | am I allowed to do that? | 23:34 |

| erUSUL | AlexMorr1s: dunno the configure went well maybe incompatibility with openssl-dev libs on hardy? | 23:34 |
| Gaming4JC | Starnestommy: It's extremely easy to compile "if" you have an internet connection. Could some one do it for me who has internet connection. :) | 23:35 |
| codecaine | yea you need it install nvidia-glx and install nvidia-settings | 23:35 |
| codecaine | then run sudo nvidia-config | 23:35 |

| Starnestommy | Gaming4JC: just use another computer to put the .deb packages for build-essential and its dependencies on a disc to transfer the packages to the one without the internet connection. YOu can get the packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com | 23:36 |
| neo_ | codecaine: u see that validation error | 23:36 |

| Gaming4JC | I have the OpenCD version | 23:38 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 23:38 |
| gwern | I am kind of curous, why is /tmp by default on the hard drive? | 23:38 |
| soundray | Taza: stop spamming us with caps | 23:38 |
| Taza | soundray: Quit complaining about that. | 23:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Taza Stop it. | 23:38 |
| Taza | soundray: That's required to make clear that those are not the problem. | 23:38 |
| m1dn1ght | Well there's a good way to get help - act like an ass | 23:38 |
| Starnestommy | Taza: you can make that clear without caps | 23:39 |
| soundray | Taza: we have rules here, and you should adhere to them, or look for help elsewhere | 23:39 |
| idefix_ | what can you do with a BIN file in ubuntu? | 23:39 |
| Taza | soundray: Is there a rule against making clear what has been tried? | 23:39 |
| stemount^ | idefix_, bin it? ;) | 23:39 |
| Starnestommy | idefix_: it depends on what the bin file is for | 23:39 |
| stemount^ | joking | 23:39 |
| Mad10000 | !ask I used to have a dual boot option to WinXP before but after re-installing Ubuntu it disappeared. Can this be restored somehow thru GRUB? | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Mad10000: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Taza there is a coc .. maybe you should read it | 23:39 |
| codecaine | neo I have to go soon you there? | 23:39 |
| Beryllium | M2N4? Who makes that? | 23:39 |
| neo_ | codecaine: yea | 23:39 |
| soundray | Taza: there is a rule against yelling = spamming with caps | 23:39 |
| Flare183 | ??? | 23:39 |
| Taza | soundray: Because if it wasn't in caps SOMEONE would miss it. I use caps for emphasis. I bet someone misses it now too. | 23:39 |
| Taza | soundray: and I'm not violating that rule | 23:39 |
| codecaine | what you saw in your xorg.conf? | 23:39 |
| Flare183 | anyone going to answer? | 23:39 |
| Taza | Beryllium: Asus M2N4-SLI AM2 motherboard. | 23:40 |
| neo_ | how do i check again | 23:40 |
| Beryllium | ah. Hrm. Normally Asus behaves nicely. | 23:40 |
| codecaine | gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:40 |
| idefix_ | wat is BIN? what does it stand for? | 23:40 |
| Beryllium | I was hoping you would say it was MSI, so I could dismiss it out of hand as "msi is crap" ;-) | 23:40 |
| Starnestommy | idefix_: binary | 23:40 |
| Taza | Beryllium: I have the same experience, it appears to be just this mobo according to the forum. | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | Taza: you are being rude to anyone and enfasis can be obtained *some* _other_ way | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | codecaine closer.. | 23:40 |
| Taza | Beryllium: And the MSI board I have works fine. ;_; | 23:40 |
| mneptok | Taza: do not use all-caps for emphasis. full stop. | 23:40 |
| codecaine | gksudo gedit /etc/X11 xorg.conf | 23:40 |
| Flare183 | anyone??? | 23:41 |
| Taza | erUSUL: What's wrong for caps for emphasis? | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 23:41 |
| Gaming4JC | Jack_Sparrow: Do you know where I can get build-essential for HedgeHog offline? | 23:41 |
| codecaine | :) | 23:41 |
| Taza | mneptok: Says who? | 23:41 |
| loquitus_of_borg | I keep getting this error where my /dev/dsp device is busy... it happens quite a bit after I play a particular game, quit the game, and then try again, where the second time the game displays: open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy | 23:41 |
| neo_ | codecaine: when I ran that command I restarted X server and my monitor didnt support it so I couldnt see the screen. I rebooted in recover mode and said fix X server and I got back here | 23:41 |
| mneptok | Taza: your frustration should not translate into our eyestrain. | 23:41 |
| idefix_ | so you can run them like exe's in DOS? | 23:41 |
| neo_ | So It has the same thing as before | 23:41 |
| magnetron | Taza: please don't make an argument out of this | 23:41 |
| Beryllium | Taza: Netiquette has firmly established, over the past 20 years, that all-caps is synonymous with YELLING. | 23:41 |
| loquitus_of_borg | any ideas to fix this? I'd love to kill the damn thing that is hogging it | 23:41 |
| Taza | Beryllium: It was SUPPOSED to be. | 23:41 |
| erUSUL | AlexMorr1s: i have tried to compile alpine here and was succesfull (i got the same warning) | 23:41 |
| loquitus_of_borg | it drives me crazy I have to restart the damn system to fix this. | 23:41 |
| Starnestommy | idefix_: mostly, but it depends on what the bin file is for | 23:41 |
| Taza | Beryllium: Therefore emphasis. | 23:41 |
| soundray | Taza: there is a rule about this. What part of do you have difficulties grasping? | 23:41 |
| Beryllium | And yelling is against the rules in here. Sheesh. | 23:41 |
| codecaine | neo_ you use gaim? | 23:41 |
| solid_liq | loquitus_of_borg: try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart | 23:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not to mention that it read like an annoying geek personals ad | 23:41 |
| Taza | soundray: No there isn't. *sigh* | 23:41 |
| neo_ | codecaine: no | 23:41 |
| Taza | soundray: Allcaps maybe. | 23:41 |
| Taza | Partcaps no. | 23:41 |
| Beryllium | Dice-K: Good point :) | 23:42 |
| neo_ | codecaine: i can install it | 23:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Taza Read the rules of the channel and stop arguing | 23:42 |
| Starnestommy | Taza: do you get any errors with the kernel panic? | 23:42 |
| codecaine | I meant pidgin | 23:42 |
| Taza | Unless they've changed the rules in like the last 3 months. | 23:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !caps | taza - it most certainly is | 23:42 |
| ubottu | taza - it most certainly is: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | AlexMorr1s: hardy 64 bits after "sudo apt-get build-dep alpine" "./configure" "make -j3" | 23:42 |

| neo_ | codecaine,: im new to ubuntu i dont use it | 23:42 |

I've got Ubuntu on a 90 gig partition and disk usage analyser is showing 75 gig used and 15 gig free, however after running the analysis, it is only showing my file system (/) as containing 37.9 gig.

I haven't used sudo this boot, so it's not like it hasn't timed out yet. | 23:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | deadsouls: not a fan of the wine 1.0 line? | 23:45 |
| Taza | mneptok: Because I checked. And updated the bios. | 23:45 |

| node357 | ledmushroom, it's an antivirus for systems. it scans filesystems for viruses | 23:47 |
| eth01 | ledmushroom: it's crap. | 23:47 |
| deadsouls | Taza, wine. the problem is that wine 0.9.15 deb file installed, but it's marked as broken (even though it is working) | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ledmushroom yes, but not to protect you. to protect windows users | 23:47 |

| === mojo_ is now known as mojo | ||

| m1dn1ght | The other day I changed root password (stupid I know) as I was fiddling about. Following instructions from ubuntu site I used sudo passwd root -l afterwards which I thought would revert me back to the old ways but... - I think I may have broken my system. Now sudo won't work properly (not asking for a password). Just tried the commands solid_liq suggested and getting permission denied. | 23:49 |
| Taza | What does the "nolapic" boot option do? | 23:49 |
| codecaine | probably need the nvidia-glx-new driver then | 23:50 |
