| [KS] | okay, not really a problem :) | 00:07 |
| smmagic | "system cannot not find the file" error | 00:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Taza At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" .. Even if the cd checks out.. burn a new copy at a very slow speed. it does make a difference. and turn off power management in your bios | 00:07 |

| soundray | qcode: yes -- evince | 00:24 |
| epidemic_ | soundray, you should see the zim I picked up, new old stock, still in its box marked Au= and looks like gold in roman numerals with 19 ruby jewels movement | 00:24 |
| Scunizi | qcode: yes it's called evince | 00:24 |
| sharms | qcode - evince | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 00:24 | |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 00:24 |
| Strife89 | If I change the settings for Indexing, does Tracker acknowledge them right after I click OK, after I log off, or after a reboot? | 00:24 |
| Scunizi | qcode: it also does multipage tiff's | 00:24 |
| Taza | Lemme confirm this - when I find the magic kernel options, adding them to grub default and doing update-grub will fix the problem? | 00:24 |
| soundray | epidemic_: better not. I'd drool all over it... back to topic | 00:24 |
| qcode | Thanks | 00:24 |
| Alan_M | javb, ubottu's search feature is showing the same result, its not in the repositories. | 00:24 |
| * epidemic_ whispers still looks like new | 00:25 | |
| [KS] | usser, it's all good, says everything is [OK], right untill the login screen | 00:25 |

| [KS] | I can revert to 2.6.24-16 | 00:26 |
| [KS] | yes, but what about my wireless? | 00:26 |
| sharms | jkirby1 - yum is usually used in redhat based distros, what are you trying to accomplish? | 00:26 |
| * epidemic_ says to soundray nope its not, but I dont intend to take it for a swim | 00:26 | |

| JuzzyD | KS, You don't happen to be using an ati card? | 00:26 |
| sharms | Strife89 - you can disable it under System -> User Preferences -> Sessions | 00:26 |
| unr3a1 | it comes up saying I have to install sun-java6-jdk | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | Strife89: it's indexing your drives.. it'll stop eventually | 00:26 |
| epidemic_ | Strife89, pwnt | 00:26 |
| jkirby1 | sharms: as said, the script requires it but does install to any OS. I'm going to try modify the script at least. | 00:26 |
| [KS] | JuzzyD: No, Intel 4965 AG or AGN | 00:26 |
| usser | [KS], right... boot into old kernel remove backports package and we'll try to compile it from source | 00:26 |
| soundray | [KS]: is that what you had before? Because -17 is current... | 00:26 |
| [KS] | soundray: I had -16 | 00:27 |
| Strife89 | epdemic: I'm sorry.... "pwnt"? | 00:27 |

| Strife89 | Meaning......? | 00:27 |
| JuzzyD | I did a kernel upgrade on Fedora this morning, and I got the white screen after login until I disabled the fglrx driver | 00:27 |
| erUSUL | unr3a1: then just install it | 00:27 |
| sharms | jkirby1 - it sounds like you are going to harm your system, I would figure out the ubuntu way of doing what you are trying to do | 00:27 |
| epidemic_ | flashing light dosnt always indicate harmless activity | 00:27 |
| soundray | [KS]: log into text mode (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and do a 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 00:27 |
| usser | [KS], tell me if old kernel works | 00:27 |
| sharms | jkirby1 - I see that you are trying to install php, and if that is the case, using yum is definitely not a good idea. | 00:27 |
| [KS] | usser, yes, the -16 works | 00:27 |
| erUSUL | JuzzyD: this is not #fedora | 00:27 |

| Mr_Bad_News | how do i get apt-get to ignore an md5 check? | 00:36 |
| JuzzyD | For anyone running a SQL/PHP/APACHE environment locally, is it as easy to set up as selecting packages for installation? | 00:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i keep getting md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 00:37 |
| erUSUL | !lamp > JuzzyD | 00:37 |
| Ben | erUSUL: OK found -R seems to copy. when you say about permissions, do you mean that at the moment root is the only user to have write access to that disk? | 00:37 |
| tmapj | Jack_Sparrow, are you still here? | 00:37 |
| erUSUL | Ben: by default yes; you have to create dirs and give those dirs other permisions as you see fit | 00:37 |
| smmagic | soundray: When I do map I get error 11 | 00:37 |
| [KS] | usser, quick question, do I need to restart netmanager applet since it is not listing my wifi in dropdown menu altough it is listed in Manual configuration? | 00:37 |
| JuzzyD | Mmm, lamp, that sets up common configurations for mod_rewrite and all the other little painful things to set up if I'm not mistaken. | 00:38 |
| [KS] | usser, if yes, how? :) | 00:38 |
| unr3a1 | ok, I did the jdk install, through apt-get, and I setup my JAVA_HOME variable. but the app I am trying to use is saying that the JAVA_HOME has to point to a jdk, not a jre... | 00:38 |
| unr3a1 | I am completely lost | 00:38 |
| soundray | smmagic: some progress at least | 00:38 |
| tmapj | Jack_Sparrow, | 00:38 |
| usser | [KS], just do killall -9 nm-applet && nm-applet & | 00:38 |
| smmagic | soundray: Really? | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ben First, check the ownership by going to /media and doing a ls -la ... Then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /yourPartition followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj yes | 00:39 |
| blue112 | Helllo everyone, I have a problem with my resolution, can someone help me ? | 00:39 |
| usser | [KS], but it may still not work... can u see any networks using iwlist | 00:39 |
| usser | [KS], ie iwlist wlan0 scanning | 00:39 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz -- then 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree' | 00:39 |
| tmapj | jack i did the command that ubottu told me to do my the terminal did nothing | 00:39 |
| danand | !resolution | blue112 | 00:39 |
| ubottu | blue112: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 00:39 |
| usser | [KS], err iwlist wlan0 scan | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj to fix what problem | 00:39 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: I mean sudo rm | 00:39 |
| Ben | Jack_Sparrow: cheers pal, ill give it a go and see what happens | 00:39 |
| tmapj | i wanted to backup a list of all my installed packages | 00:40 |
| [KS] | usser, wlan0 no scan results | 00:40 |
| blue112 | danand, thanks, i'm gonna looking; | 00:40 |
| smmagic | soundray: So I'm screwed? | 00:40 |
| tmapj | it told me to do this command--> dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 00:40 |
| Mr_Bad_News | ok soundray thanks | 00:40 |
| tmapj | and the terminal did nothing | 00:40 |
| danand | blue112 - luck :) | 00:40 |
| JuzzyD | You know what would be super duper? If upon completion of this torrent downloading, and getting Ubuntu up and running, I can finally get my Wacom working. I couldn't get it to work no matter what on my last two OS installs. | 00:40 |
| thewiseilsaggio | regards! I've a problem with a notebook with Nvidia card, Intel cpu, kubuntu , Nvidia driver updated today.. | 00:40 |
| usser | [KS], iwlist wlan0 scan? | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL Would you double checkmy advice to Ben | 00:40 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is dpkg --get-selections how you search for installed packages tmapj ? | 00:40 |
| [KS] | yes, no scal results | 00:40 |
| usser | [KS], is wlan0 your wifi interface name? | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 00:41 |
| 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 | 00:41 |
| usser | [KS], from iwconfig? | 00:41 |
| tmapj | Jack_Sparrow, thats what i did | 00:41 |
| blue112 | danand, I've read the french version of the doc, which it's exactly the same, and it doesn't help me... | 00:41 |
| tmapj | Mr_Bad_News, yes | 00:41 |
| soundray | smmagic: I think you used the wrong syntax (that's what Error 11 means) | 00:41 |
| thewiseilsaggio | I'm italian.. sorry for my bad english^^ however my problem is with the characters in Maya | 00:41 |
| danand | Mr_Bad_News - dpkg -l | 00:41 |
| virtuald | Mr_Bad_News: i use dpkg -l|grep whatever | 00:41 |

| usser | [KS], right ok... | 00:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj Can you find a file /home/yournick/my-packages | 00:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | soundray, i rm it and i still get md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed | 00:42 |

| smmagic | okay, soundray, I typed map (hd1) (hd0) | 00:42 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: did you sudo rm it? | 00:42 |
| usser | [KS], try sudo rmmod iwl4945 && sudo modprobe iwl4945 | 00:42 |
| zxdas | danand libssl did'nt work eather | 00:42 |
| smmagic | and the command moved on | 00:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | yes | 00:42 |
| Ben | Jack_Sparrow: when you say username:username do you mean that litterally or username:ben??? | 00:42 |
| soundray | smmagic: it has to go in your menu.lst | 00:42 |

| gr1ff1n | hello everybody | 00:43 |

| gr1ff1n | does anyone know how to downgrade firefox ?? | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ben.. I mean Ben | 00:43 |

| thewiseilsaggio | someone can help me with autodesk maya? I wanna know if the problem of menu's is a bug | 00:44 |
| Strife89 | Should I just "kill" it? | 00:44 |
| [KS] | usser, still no scan results on iwlist | 00:44 |
| soundray | gr1ff1n: don't downgrade -- you can do a parallel install of firefox-2 | 00:44 |
| tmapj | ok | 00:44 |
| lopin | I need a suggestion for a nfs protocol to use... | 00:44 |
| Tonydude | will someone help me configure my realtek 802.11b/g wireless card to work in ubuntu. im new at this | 00:44 |
| oberoc | does anybody know who allow tether of their cellphones (what company) | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj you created the file.. in /home/$USER/ if you want to check | 00:44 |

| gr1ff1n | soundray: thanks good idea | 00:44 |
| oberoc | what's tonydude | 00:44 |
| lopin | I just ogt my external hard disk out of storage, and I want to connect | 00:45 |
| smmagic | after all of the title lines soundray? | 00:45 |
| danand | zxdas - try apt-cache pkgnames | grep ssl to give you a list of ssl related packages. After that try apt-cache show packagename to see if any of the packages do what you require.... may take you some time though ... perhaps openssl?? | 00:45 |
| Strife89 | Trackerd hasn't closed after I asked it to quit 10 minutes ago. Should I kill the process? | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj It is supposed to do nothing if it worked.. look on your desktop | 00:45 |
| usser | [KS], weird...ok lets try compiling the latest drivers | 00:45 |
| oberoc | tonydude: what's up? | 00:45 |
| usser | [KS], do sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-hardy | 00:45 |
| soundray | smmagic: try in the section you are planning to boot first. You can add it in the others later | 00:45 |
| lopin | I just ogt my external hard disk out of storage, and I want to connect it to the server downstairs, and share it across the network, for file storage and stuff... So, what protocol would you guys recomend? | 00:45 |
| [KS] | usser, one question first pls, are you sure it is supposed to be 802.11a? | 00:45 |
| oberoc | lopin: samba | 00:46 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a command line automated download program? | 00:46 |
| JamesGanz | does the regular 8.04 desktop install cd offer an "expert" install mode? | 00:46 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: wget | 00:46 |
| gsker | would this be a place to ask about preseed files? I just did an install on 12 HP DL145 machines and will probably do it again and would like to now have to answer the 8 questions. | 00:46 |
| lopin | oberoc, can I use samba annonymously? | 00:46 |
| usser | [KS], dont mind that, this info is changed when u actually connect to network, def values dont mean jack | 00:46 |
| oberoc | Mr_Bas_News: read the man page on aptitude | 00:46 |
| Mr_Bad_News | automated soundray ? | 00:46 |
| usser | [KS], go here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download | 00:46 |
| [KS] | usser, ok, now I managed to connect to my AP when typed the ssid manually | 00:46 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: have you solved the problem with flashplugin? | 00:46 |
| smmagic | soundray: Sorry. Ive gotten lost. Let me explain again. I have 2 HDs. one with vista and one with XP. I partitioned my vista for ubuntu and the ubuntu cd installed grub onto my XP drive. this is my prblem | 00:47 |
| Mr_Bad_News | not yet | 00:47 |
| tmapj | thanks jack | 00:47 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i still get md5 mismatch | 00:47 |
| usser | [KS], oh it worked? | 00:47 |
| soundray | smmagic: I know | 00:47 |
| oberoc | lopin: yup I don't know the config though. You will have to read the config | 00:47 |
| Tonydude | can someone privatly chat with me and walk me through how to install my wireless card in ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| [KS] | usser, yes, I've chosen manual configuration in nm-applet and typed in my ssid manually | 00:47 |
| lopin | oberoc, Thanks. That's what I needed. I didn't know if I wanted to use Samba, or webDAV, or FTP | 00:47 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: why aren't you answering my question then -- did you use sudo rm on the downloaded archive? | 00:47 |
| lopin | Thanks! | 00:47 |
| tmapj | jack i have another problem | 00:47 |
| [KS] | set DHCP as IP aquisiition method, and it is working | 00:47 |
| tmapj | Jack_Sparrow, i have another problem | 00:48 |
| soundray | Mr_Bad_News: use my nickname so I see your response | 00:48 |
| smmagic | soundray: SO the first to boot would be what? | 00:48 |
| usser | [KS], hm... are u sure your AP is not hidden? | 00:48 |
| lopin | oberoc, thanks! | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj Ask away, but I am running low on answers | 00:48 |
| tmapj | well my system wont play the startup sound | 00:48 |
| soundray | smmagic: the one that your BIOS identifies as the first. Which isn't necessarily the one that grub sees as the first and calls (hd0) | 00:48 |
| soundray | smmagic: hence the swap with the map command | 00:49 |
| [KS] | usser, yeah, I have another laptop connected to it. Besides, is it normal that my wifi card is not listed in nm-applet dropdown menu, altough it IS listed in manual configuration? | 00:49 |
| JamesGanz | www.ubuntu.com is hosed? | 00:49 |
| tmapj | i believe its indicative of a larger, more serious problem | 00:49 |
| tmapj | i believe its indicative of a larger, more serious problem, Jack_Sparrow | 00:49 |
| usser | [KS], no its not | 00:49 |
| Ben | ok now heres a fun one.... one of the folder names on my disk is Anime - the e has an acute accent over it.... how do i type that into my console??? | 00:49 |
| usser | [KS], lets try the latest driver? | 00:50 |
| tmapj | because my graphics card doesnt work either | 00:50 |
| zcat[1] | Ben: 'tab' or ? | 00:50 |
| mDemocritus | Ben: type in Anim then the tab | 00:50 |
| [KS] | usser, ok, tell me what to do :) | 00:50 |
| Ben | ooo | 00:50 |
| Ben | ok | 00:50 |
| smmagic | soundray: My bios calls HD1 first I belive, as that contains vista | 00:50 |
| fale | hi | 00:50 |
| mDemocritus | Ben: tabbed completion is sweet :D | 00:50 |
| usser | [KS], first off do sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers | 00:50 |
| smmagic | soundray: however, GRUB only boots when I select my XP drive from the boot menu | 00:50 |
| zcat[1] | Ben: alternatively, Anim? will match as well.. | 00:50 |
| theneb | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/30/video_game_terrorist_doomsday/ | 00:51 |

| zcat[1] | There's also a character map tool in accessories, you can find it there and cut-n-paste | 00:51 |
| soundray | Ben: to type the actual character: Ctrl-Shift-u-e-9 | 00:51 |
| [KS] | I can do apt-get install linux-headers-$(`uname -r`) | 00:51 |
| [KS] | ? | 00:51 |
| usser | [KS], no meta package should fetch the latest | 00:52 |
| Ben | soundray - you shouldnt know stuff like that :D | 00:52 |

| Lord_Devi | I had a RAID 5 array (md0) consisting of /dev/sdb1,sdc1,sdd1. I just added another sata drive to this box and it renamed my existing drives. So now my old array will not assemble because it wants sdd1 but now it does exist - sda1 does now. How do i edit my array to take into account the new changes? | 00:52 |
| AcornAcorn | Why doesn't the newest version of azureus get installed? | 00:52 |
| soundray | Ben: I looked it up | 00:52 |
| Ben | lol i guessed that ;) | 00:52 |
| usser | [KS], oh my bad then do with uname -r | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj Kinda busy atm.. but ask and I will read | 00:52 |
| tmapj | Jack_Sparrow, my graphics card doesnt work and my startup sound wont play | 00:53 |
| smmagic | soundray: So put the HD swap thing under xp or vista? | 00:53 |
| [KS] | usser, ok it's 8MB, downloading | 00:53 |
| soundray | smmagic: only if you can't boot those without | 00:53 |
| Ben | what command tells me how many GB of data is in a directory please? | 00:54 |

| usser | [KS], sudo wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 | 00:54 |
| smmagic | soundray: What I'm saying is, GRUB only "tries" to boot if I select my 160gb HD which is xp | 00:54 |
| AcornAcorn | Why doesn't the newest version of azureus get installed? | 00:54 |
| zcat[1] | ctrl-shift rather? | 00:54 |
| flip | alright look im trying to install unreal3.2.7 with ssl support what package do i need | 00:54 |

| smmagic | soundray: However, GRUB directs to my vista drive | 00:54 |
| fxcp | hi folks. how to scan the network for dhcp requests to get the ip offered by dhcp server. 'tcpdump dst port 67' doesnt show the ip | 00:54 |
| [KS] | usser, that is downloading too | 00:55 |
| zcat[1] | soundray: cool.. I know sfa about unicode .. I probably should learn more :) | 00:55 |
| [KS] | usser, all downloaded, what nex | 00:55 |
| smmagic | I'm starting to feel like I'll never get this fixed | 00:56 |
| usser | [KS], bah sorry the wget part was wrong, the link on their page is all java script | 00:56 |
| [KS] | usser, it downloaded something about 2 megs? | 00:56 |
| astro76 | fxcp: what machine are you running tcpdump on? | 00:56 |
| [KS] | 1.2M | 00:56 |
| usser | [KS], heres the direct link sudo wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-05-30.tar.bz2 | 00:56 |
| fxcp | astro76: ubuntu | 00:56 |

| === snake_ is now known as albuntu | ||
| albuntu | how can i run a .c file ? | 00:57 |
| [KS] | usser, ok download | 00:57 |
| [KS] | ed | 00:57 |
| soundray | smmagic: you need to either become a grub expert or find one. Re-ask your question, be patient, repeat after 10+ minutes | 00:57 |
| oberoc | albuntu: you have to compile first | 00:58 |
| fxcp | astro76: the machine getting ip via dhcp is an embedded device. so i wanna see from my notebook which one it gets | 00:58 |
| usser | [KS], now tar -jxvf *bz2 | 00:58 |
| albuntu | oberoc: with gcc ? how can i do it ? | 00:58 |
| astro76 | fxcp: how is your notebook connected to the network, wireless? switch? hub? | 00:58 |
| usser | [KS], apt-get finished already? | 00:58 |
| AcornAcorn | How do I get the newest version of azureus? | 00:58 |
| neavbie | my 1360x768 RESOLUTION is NOT listed in NVIDIA SETTINGS | 00:59 |

| neavbie | how do i use that resolution at 60 hz | 00:59 |
| [KS] | usser, yeah, all finished | 00:59 |
| [KS] | *bz2 did not work tho | 00:59 |
| albuntu | oberoc: its only a .c file | 00:59 |
| smmagic | ok...thanks....soundray..... | 00:59 |
| [KS] | had to specify filename because I have two of them now :) | 00:59 |
| usser | [KS], huh oh hm... remove the one without the date | 00:59 |
| fxcp | astro76: switched lan | 00:59 |

| soundray | smmagic: good luck... while you wait, read the links behind the grub factoid: | 01:00 |
| AcornAcorn | How do I get the newest version of azureus? | 01:00 |
| soundray | !grub | smmagic | 01:00 |
| ubottu | smmagic: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 01:00 |
| [KS] | usser, ok I extracted it, the one with the date | 01:00 |
| [KS] | linux headers downloaded | 01:00 |
| [KS] | what next? | 01:00 |
| astro76 | fxcp: the difference between a switch and a hub, is that a switch only sends packets out the particular port that destination machine is on, whereas a hub broadcasts to all ports | 01:00 |
| astro76 | fxcp: so you'll never see them unless you use a hub | 01:00 |
| usser | [KS], cd compat-wireless* | 01:00 |

| AcornAcorn | How do I get the newest version of azureus? | 01:01 |
| [KS] | usser, it did nothing | 01:02 |
| astro76 | fxcp: or you would have to run tcpdump on the dhcp server | 01:02 |
| [KS] | spit out two lines, lol | 01:02 |
| neavbie | so noboyd knows how to force a 1360x768 resolution with nvidia settings? | 01:02 |

| [KS] | i need the generic headers? | 01:02 |
| fxcp | astro76: not really. dhcp requests are multicast, so i can see them. but not the ip the server offers | 01:02 |
| oberoc | albuntu: hang on | 01:02 |
| usser | [KS], u should have thme already | 01:02 |
| usser | [KS], thats what was linux-headers package for | 01:02 |

| agliodbs | anyone know a groupware package that's on launchpad? | 01:17 |
| unr3a1 | I have my JAVA_HOME set to that same directory as the * in my ~/.bashrc file | 01:17 |
| abuyusuf | ottito: Which version ? | 01:17 |
| ottito | the lastest | 01:18 |
| astro76 | unr3a1: you should set that in ~/.profile instead | 01:18 |
| abuyusuf | astro76: when i run it on my Hardy, the all pc hangs after seconds of running Google Earth 4.3 | 01:18 |
| ottito | did you install it by synaptic? | 01:18 |
| astro76 | abuyusuf: running compiz desktop effects? | 01:18 |
| unr3a1 | ok, and once i edit that file, I need to reboot, correct? | 01:19 |
| albuntu | ottito: there is no package of google earth in synaptic | 01:19 |
| abuyusuf | astro76: How to check for that? | 01:19 |
| nickrud | unr3a1, no, simply log out and back in | 01:19 |
| unr3a1 | kk | 01:19 |
| astro76 | abuyusuf: system > prefs > appearance, visual effects tab | 01:19 |
| ottito | or deb package? | 01:19 |
| abuyusuf | astro76: "None" | 01:19 |
| astro76 | albuntu: ottito: there is one in medibuntu | 01:20 |
| unr3a1 | all I need is export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java, right? | 01:20 |
| ottito | i think the problem with the installation is that you run it having sudo permission | 01:20 |
| abuyusuf | ottito: And, what the problem in that ? | 01:20 |
| astro76 | abuyusuf: hmm not sure then, what video card? | 01:20 |

| ottito | about the graphics | 01:22 |
| JoshJ | i used to have ubuntu on my laptop; i'm getting rid of it now (technical issues) and would like to restore the default Windows booting setup | 01:23 |
| unr3a1 | brb | 01:23 |
| abuyusuf | ottito & astro76: Checking the link .. | 01:23 |
| JoshJ | is there a good way to do that with the livedisc? I'd rather not have to make some stupid minimal 3 gig partition just to set up a linux install + grub | 01:23 |
| ___Alex___ | is there a way to control my laptop speed under gnome, like there is under xfce? | 01:23 |
| astro76 | JoshJ: do what? | 01:24 |
| ad_ | hi to all | 01:24 |
| astro76 | JoshJ: ahh I see the question | 01:24 |
| JoshJ | astro76, i used to have ubuntu on this laptop; i nuked the ubu partition so i could resize the windows partition to full | 01:24 |
| JoshJ | (ie: it used to dualboot, i'm going to be using a colinux setup going forward) | 01:24 |
| astro76 | JoshJ: have your windows cd? | 01:24 |
| JoshJ | astro76, somewhere :) | 01:24 |
| JoshJ | is it necessary? i mean, grub WAS chainloading into windows... | 01:25 |
| astro76 | JoshJ: boot from it and run something like fdisk /mbr to restore windows mbr... people in #windows will know for sure | 01:25 |
| JoshJ | k | 01:25 |
| astro76 | JoshJ: but the /boot/grub/menu.lst was on the linux partition | 01:25 |
| JoshJ | right astro | 01:25 |
| ad_ | i have a problem with hardy and hda intel sound card, can anybody help me? After a week searching solutions I don't know what I have to do | 01:25 |
| JoshJ | which is why it's not wokring now of course | 01:25 |
| astro76 | JoshJ: alternatively, suposedly the super grub cd can install a syslinux bootloader for windows, but I tried it once without success | 01:26 |
| JoshJ | ah | 01:26 |
| ___Alex___ | anyone know of a gnome panel that not only shows your CPU speed on a laptop, but allows you to change it? Much like xfce panel? | 01:26 |
| JoshJ | well i'll ask in #windows then | 01:26 |
| unr3a1 | back | 01:26 |
| ___Alex___ | JoshJ: www.bootdisk.com, download one of those and run fdisk /mbr | 01:26 |
| JoshJ | alex i have my windows cd | 01:26 |
| iandotcom | anyone here have a logitech dinovo bluetooth keyboard. i can't get it to work properly. | 01:26 |

| Mr_Bad_News | cool | 01:47 |

| Checkdanews | can somebody help me setup tv out with ubuntu 8.04 and a geforce 7300? | 02:13 |
| Steve-Cal | nikolaz: I have Firefox 3.0 available thru the repositories in Synaptic--have you enabled all your repositories (System > admin/prefs > Software Sources) and checked Synaptic? I don't think you need to compile it yourself. | 02:13 |
| Darlok_Williams | fale: It's always worked before, though... that's why I'm curious if anyone has a workaround. | 02:13 |
| AmericanYello1 | POlygon89 have you tried using Envy?? | 02:13 |
| JoshJ | btw to the people who suggested things for my windows/grub issue earlier | 02:13 |
| transience | frinkahedron: i can get vlc to launch, but i can't change the skin or open the preferences. | 02:13 |
| JoshJ | turns out that my windows partition was corrupted | 02:13 |
| JoshJ | so i'm reinstalling :\ | 02:13 |
| Polygon89 | AmericanYello1, yes and after that i got a completely white screen whenever i tried to log in. | 02:13 |
| Checkdanews | Somebody help me get tvout to work | 02:14 |
| Leefmc | Question: Long story short, i installed Ubuntu Desktop from an ISO, but did not get any install options such as Partitioning, anyone know why? | 02:14 |
| Checkdanews | pwease | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !root | JuzzyD_ | 02:14 |
| ubottu | JuzzyD_: 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 | 02:14 |
| usser | [KS], something doesnt get unloaded properly. if its not a big problem i suggest sudo make uninstall it and go back to backports they partially work at least | 02:14 |
| theblue | Hi all. | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !grub | JoshJ | 02:14 |
| ubottu | JoshJ: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:14 |
| messiah | hi, i need little help | 02:14 |
| Swish | Leefmc, maybe you have to use the alternate install CD? | 02:14 |
| JoshJ | Jack_Sparrow, that's not the issue :p | 02:14 |
| AmericanYello1 | okay | 02:14 |
| * Swish is just guessing | 02:14 | |
| nittanylion | anyone particularly good with troubleshooting a wifi card not connecting to an AP? it's been driving me crazy all day now... | 02:14 |
| JoshJ | grub can't really help with a corrupt windows partition :P | 02:14 |
| Leefmc | Swish: No idea heh | 02:14 |
| [KS] | usser, now it work, the sudo rmmod thing, when i did sudo rmmod mac80211 cfg80211 | 02:14 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, you probably picked one of the options that didn't allow for partitioning | 02:14 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: How did you install it then? where did you install it to? | 02:14 |
| Checkdanews | I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a geforce 7300, I have no idea how to get tv-out to work | 02:14 |
| [KS] | i just changed places between mac and cfg | 02:14 |
| fxcp | hi folks. how to read in /etc/hostname after the hostname was modified manually? | 02:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoshJ Once you reinstall windows, you will lose grub and need to reinstall it | 02:15 |
| JoshJ | Swish, the normal install allows for partitioning | 02:15 |
| JoshJ | Jack_Sparrow, not my problem | 02:15 |
| nikolaz | yes i enable all repositories now | 02:15 |
| nikolaz | now whats next? | 02:15 |
| JuzzyD_ | Thanks, I figured as such, it's a confusing concept at first, to be an admin, but not be an admin unless you say I wanna be an admin. Assuming that makes sense | 02:15 |
| nikolaz | how do i install FF beta? | 02:15 |
| JoshJ | Jack_Sparrow, my problem was the opposite- namely, i deleted linux and forgot to lose grub :p | 02:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 02:15 |
| Checkdanews | what is the best multiplayer game for ubuntu? | 02:15 |
| Flannel | JoshJ: You need to either reinstall grub, reinstall windows bootloader, or use something like Smart Boot Manager | 02:15 |
| Pici | Checkdanews: irc ;) | 02:15 |
| frinkahedron | transience: close vlc, then rename your .vlc folder. this will get rid of old prefs: mv ~/.vlc ~/.vlc_orig | 02:15 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ah hello! This has to do with the conversation from yesterday. I downloaded the ISO of Ubuntu Desktop, used UNetBootin. However, when running UNetBootin from the boot menu, i never got any options during the Ubuntu install | 02:15 |
| JuzzyD_ | Checkdanews: WoW :P | 02:15 |
| Steve-Cal | nikolaz: Open Synaptic (System > Admin > Synaptic) and search for "firefox". | 02:16 |
| JoshJ | Flannel, yeah, kinda hard to "reinstall windows bootloader" when the partition is corrupt... turns out that i have to reinstall windows... no big deal though, just time consuming | 02:16 |
| JuzzyD_ | IRC = Multiplayer Notepad | 02:16 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: I'm not sure where the problem lies, but the end result is that i cannot access (or even confirm) the existance of my Ubuntu Install. | 02:16 |
| Checkdanews | lol fine best free mmo for ubuntu | 02:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Checkdanews Find World of Padman, sauerbratten etc | 02:16 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: I'm just wondering how it installed then. Since you need a partition to install to, etc. | 02:16 |
| ksbalaji | Hi! After installing Hardy, I find that my audacity does not recognize output devices. I tried reinstalling audacity. No use. Is there a way to let audacity detect my audio device? | 02:16 |
| usser | [KS], ok... what does lsmod | grep 80211 say? | 02:16 |
| Swish | more like multiplayer closed-captioning | 02:16 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: No idea :/, windows disk manager only shows C: | 02:16 |
| Checkdanews | lmao exactly swish | 02:16 |
| JoshJ | Checkdanews, MMO? uh... i think you can play WoW via cedega or whatever | 02:16 |
| JoshJ | but that's not free... | 02:17 |
| [KS] | usser, lsmod says cfg80211 | 02:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Even after installing, if i reboot, i only got 2 options. Windows and UNetBootin | 02:17 |
| JoshJ | i think you're better off with MUDs | 02:17 |
| JuzzyD_ | I read that WoW works 100% in wine. | 02:17 |
| AmericanYello1 | Polygon89, did you try enabling the Ati driver from the Hardware Drivers? | 02:17 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: What do you mean? Under "preferences" what audio driver are you using? | 02:17 |
| usser | [KS], sudo rmmod cfg80211 too | 02:17 |
| JoshJ | there's a few FPSs such as Enemy Territory that work in linux | 02:17 |
| Swish | I hope mIRC works well under ubuntu+wine | 02:17 |
| * Swish is not looking forward to using pidginIRC | 02:17 | |
| JoshJ | Swish, wtf do you want mIRC for? use XChat | 02:17 |
| Checkdanews | anybody help me setup tvout with a geforce 7300 | 02:17 |
| usser | [KS], if FATAL again see what depends on it and rmmod it first | 02:17 |
| JoshJ | or Konversation, or ... | 02:17 |
| Swish | I like mIRC :) | 02:17 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Try booting to UNETbootin, what does it do then? (I've never used it, but I'm googling furiously right now) | 02:17 |
| Polygon89 | AmericanYello1, see this screenshot: http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/84/screenshotwb0.png | 02:17 |
| JuzzyD_ | Umm, sorry to ask again, but does anyone know a good all encompassing post installation set up guide to get repositries and common applications installed? | 02:17 |
| usser | [KS], ie sudo rmmod dependencies cfg80211 | 02:17 |
| Bizzeh | xchat blows... thats why he is using mirc | 02:17 |
| [KS] | usser, it's removed, lsmod gives nothing | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoshJ Please do not use "Rude" shorthand. | 02:17 |
| Checkdanews | well what game do you guyz play the most on ubuntu | 02:18 |
| JoshJ | wtf? | 02:18 |
| ganjast | set clown output to7300 | 02:18 |
| Swish | I have no problem trying xchat or whatnot. I just remember BitchX back in the day and epic and none of them being very good | 02:18 |
| * Swish likes his many windows | 02:18 | |
| JoshJ | FPS doesn't mean anything rude, it's a first person shooter ;[ | 02:18 |
| ksbalaji | Steve-Cal: Under preferences, there is none listed. I am not able to enter anything there. | 02:18 |
| Flannel | !games | Checkdanews | 02:18 |
| ubottu | Checkdanews: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 02:18 |
| JoshJ | Swish, i used to like mIRC, but Xchat rocks. | 02:18 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ , UNetBootin Installs Ubuntu without a CD Drive | 02:18 |
| usser | [KS], nice now sudo modprobe mac80211 cfg80211 iwl4965 | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Checkdanews /join #Ubuntu-offtopic for discussions and that type of question.. this is the support room | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoshJ Yes.. that | 02:18 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: No idea how it works, but essentially (the way it seems), everytime you boot into UNetBootin, you install Ubuntu | 02:18 |
| JoshJ | um? | 02:18 |
| finger__ | somebody knows a program for audio edition?? | 02:18 |
| finger__ | help | 02:18 |
| Checkdanews | well I need help to, but nobody was helping me, i apologize tho | 02:19 |
| JoshJ | i fail to see what's "rude"? | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoshJ I was not talking about fps | 02:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Right, but obviously it doesnt, or at least, not by default. Once you boot, what does it give you, what does it ask, etc? | 02:19 |
| JoshJ | oh | 02:19 |
| [KS] | usser, error inserting mac80211 | 02:19 |
| JuzzyD_ | /join #Ubuntu-offtopic | 02:19 |
| [KS] | maybe I should try cfg first? | 02:19 |
| JuzzyD_ | whoops | 02:19 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: It was weird, because the 1st time, ubuntu seemed to be running awesome! But then i rebooted and noticed no ubuntu | 02:19 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: Under "preferences" in Audacity--under "audio I/O" what devices can you select? | 02:19 |
| usser | [KS], what errors? depends on cfg80211 | 02:19 |
| JoshJ | anyway there's Nexuiz as another FPS | 02:19 |
| usser | [KS], ? | 02:19 |
| Bizzeh | anyway, is there anything like tortoisesvn for gnome? ie, a menu entry in the right click menu to administrate subversion repos? | 02:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: so, sounds like its booting the CD, which you then need to install from. | 02:19 |
| Hammer89 | is there a program that'll rip m4p files to an Audio CD? | 02:19 |
| usser | [KS], put cfg80211 first | 02:19 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: When i boot into UNetBootin, it simply starts doing something with ubuntu. An ubuntu loading screen appears | 02:19 |
| JuzzyD_ | Anyone have experience getting Graphire4 to work in Hardy? | 02:20 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Then some text flashes, then i'm all of a sudden inside Ubuntu, a working operating system. | 02:20 |
| Checkdanews | I have Ubuntu 8.04, and a geforce 7300, I have the nvidia GLX new drivers installed, and I tried NVTV but that doesn't even open when i try, Im kind of lost, and I don't want to attempt to manually edit the xorg | 02:20 |
| [KS] | usser, nothing, error inserting cfg... | 02:20 |
| [KS] | whatever I put first it has an error | 02:20 |
| JuzzyD_ | I think the tablet itself might be dead, but I'm not sure. | 02:20 |
| Checkdanews | Im trying to get tv out to work | 02:20 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: I was able to install stuff, change settings, enjoy myself. | 02:20 |
| iSX | Can anyone help? i've done apt-get install php5, now i need to restart it. Whats the command? | 02:20 |
| Flannel | Bizzeh: try http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/nautilus-script-collection-svn | 02:20 |
| Checkdanews | can anybody assist me with my tv-out problem? | 02:20 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: right, that's what the liveCD allows you to do. Did you notice if there was an "Install Ubuntu" icon on the desktop? | 02:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Pardon if i lag for a moment, i'm uninstalling mass stuff to slim down my windows side heh | 02:21 |
| blackvd | Anyone know of an easy way to reformat an ipod in Linux? Trying with gtkpod but it says I don't have permissions, read only file system? | 02:21 |
| usser | [KS], hm... hang on lemme actually compile this thing myself | 02:21 |
| tuchki | hi everybody | 02:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Hmm, sounds familiar actually, but i cannot confirm. | 02:21 |
| [KS] | usser, OK | 02:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Funny though, that sounds like a HUGE flaw in the steps haha. | 02:21 |
| AmericanYello1 | Polygo89, did you first try the driver from the "Hardware Driver" or did you use both the Hardware Driver and run Envy? | 02:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: (steps for UNetBootin) | 02:22 |
| tuchki | someone know how can i recupere files deleted in a memory stick? | 02:22 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: It does sound like what it does is allow you to boot the CD without a CD. You'll need to install once you've booted to that CD. Basically, you've popped the CD and booted to it. But haven't actually installed. | 02:22 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: So i need to click an install link? And then insteall ubuntu with normal settings (partitioning for duel boot)? | 02:22 |
| JoshJ | i've never heard of UNetBootIn, but the standard ubuntu liveCD allows you to run off the CD | 02:22 |
| Checkdanews | I have Ubuntu 8.04, and a geforce 7300, I have the nvidia GLX new drivers installed, and I tried NVTV but that doesn't even open when i try, Im kind of lost, and I don't want to attempt to manually edit the xorg, I want to be able to use my cards tv-out. | 02:22 |
| quaalx | how would i find out why a drive isnt showing up in fdisk -l | 02:22 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, if UNetBootIn is similar to the normal disc, that's exactly what you have to do | 02:22 |
| quaalx | dmesg ? | 02:22 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Yeah. You're just not using a disc to boot the liveCD | 02:23 |
| Leefmc | JoshJ: K | 02:23 |
| Bizzeh | Flannel: ty, just installed.. ill see how they go later | 02:23 |
| mepsipax | passwd: Warning: only the first 8 characters of a password are | 02:23 |

| mepsipax | why could that be? | 02:23 |
| === kat is now known as Guest483 | ||
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well its weird, the way the website describes it, its as if its a normal install, not a livecd, but i could have easily missed unfamiliar terminology. | 02:23 |
| Checkdanews | is there any guides to help me setup tv-out in 8.04 with a nvidia card | 02:23 |
| ksbalaji | Steve-Cal: As you said, I was able to select between ALSA and another restricted ATI driver before upgrading to Hardy. Now the device field under -preferences/audio IO - nothing is listed. It is blank and I am not able to select anything. However, under input (Microphone) I have-OSS,ALSA still listed. | 02:23 |
| Flannel | Bizzeh: if that isn't satisfactory, there are others out there too. | 02:23 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Since your familiar with my problem, will you be online in an hour or so? | 02:23 |
| Bizzeh | also, is there a preferances item that i can install that will allow me to set which disks to mount on boot and set that users can access them? (like in kubuntu) | 02:23 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: I should be, yes. And yeah, I think it's not misinformation, just mixing up of terms on either side, since technically, you can boot to linux | 02:24 |
| Checkdanews | Can somebody help me setup tv-out in ubuntu8? | 02:24 |
| DIL | tuchki: there should be a thrash or thrashes file on the card | 02:24 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Right now i'm uninstalling crap from windows to slim it down, and then i'll retry UNetBootin, and that actually goes pretty quick. If i dont see an install, it would be nice to grab you for a minute since you know the situation | 02:24 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Gotcha, thanks a lot | 02:24 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: OK, if you go under System > Admin/Prefs > Sound, do you have ALSA selected for everything? That would be a good thing to check. | 02:24 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: defrag before installing | 02:24 |
| Checkdanews | does anybody know anything about setting up tvout in ubuntu with a nvidia card | 02:25 |
| m_newton | HOW do i reset my IP address, OR basically change my IP????? | 02:25 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Gotcha. Its funny, im very driven now. Theres a few softwares that were keeping me windows, and now i finally am able to use them on linux.. well, they want to charge me 300$ just for one software piece. Ugh, im switching to blender. | 02:25 |
| Checkdanews | I don't believe you can do that newton | 02:25 |
| DIL | quaalx: recheck connections | 02:25 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: With any luck, i'll be ditching windows entirely within the week. | 02:25 |
| quaalx | DIL, yea its connected. | 02:25 |
| theblue | i think i found a show-stopping bug on the ubuntu website. | 02:25 |
| wers | my keyboard doesnt work on wine. what can I do? | 02:26 |
| Checkdanews | I think your IP resets if you have dsl because of a static IP but im not sure at all | 02:26 |
| theblue | i can't download the ISO, since there's no list of mirrors. | 02:26 |
| theblue | and it gives me a large error from Drupal. | 02:26 |
| Checkdanews | TVOUT HELP NEEDED | 02:26 |
| Leefmc | Question: On a side note, is there a "using ubuntu" channel for ubuntu beginners? I'd like to learn from there, and helpout as i gain usage knowledge | 02:26 |
| DIL | quaalx: try sudo fdisk -l | 02:26 |
| quaalx | DIL, yea thats what i did. | 02:26 |
| Checkdanews | needs tvout help | 02:26 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, that would be this channel | 02:27 |
| JoshJ | plus the wiki and forums. | 02:27 |
| Leefmc | JoshJ: K | 02:27 |
| Leefmc | JoshJ: ty | 02:27 |
| Leefmc | JoshJ: I didn't want to annoy this channel with stupid usage questions hehe :) | 02:27 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: If its less support oriented, #ubuntu-offtopic would be another good place | 02:27 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, also, linuxcommand.org is great for linux newbies in general | 02:27 |
| Leefmc | But i'll make sure to wiki up before asking | 02:27 |
| Checkdanews | is there any site or guides anybody can link me to, to setting up Tvout with ubuntu 8.04 and a geforce 7300 PLEASE | 02:27 |
| bazhang | http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+hardy+tvout+nvidia+7300&btnG=Google+Search Checkdanews | 02:28 |
| ksbalaji | Steve-Cal: let me check.- It is OK under sound. ALSA is displayed in all the fields. | 02:28 |
| Flannel | !repeat | Checkdanews | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Checkdanews: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 02:28 |
| Checkdanews | alright thanks guyz | 02:28 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, linuxcommand.org is a basic (and advanced) command line tutorial that's good at teaching you the real power of linux | 02:28 |
| usser | [KS], hey | 02:28 |
| Leefmc | JoshJ: Noted, thankyou | 02:28 |
| [KS] | usser, got me scared there, leaving so sudden :D | 02:28 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: Is your problem only in Audacity? Can you play sound from other programs? | 02:28 |
| usser | [KS], i just did that whole module thing | 02:29 |
| Leefmc | Question: Also, is there a good list of top linux programs? I'll be wanting a lot of software here and there, all of which i can't predict now. Stuff like CD/DVD Drive Emulators, Good mp3 players, etc. | 02:29 |
| usser | [KS], worked fine here | 02:29 |
| [KS] | doh! | 02:29 |
| usser | [KS], basically just remove all 80211 modules | 02:29 |
| [KS] | on -17 kernel? | 02:29 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, gimme a sec, i had a list a minute ago | 02:29 |
| usser | [KS], yes | 02:29 |
| theblue | Leefmc, Synaptic Package Manager has a *mammoth* list of easily installable programs. | 02:29 |
| [KS] | usser, there are no 80211 modules :) | 02:29 |
| [KS] | lsmod | grep 80211 returns nothing | 02:29 |
| remu | hey guys, I had a question, I'm trying to set emesene to start at startup, I know how to do it by going to services and all, but I was wondering if there is a way to get it to start up after a delay, of like 10 seconds or so, I just find that when it starts RIGHT at startup, it just slows things down a bit, which annoys me, lol | 02:30 |
| akaaka99 | oh yeah! | 02:30 |
| JoshJ | yes, theblue is correct; but there's also online stuff in general | 02:30 |
| ksbalaji | Steve-Cal: Yes. My other apps like Amarok,Rhythmbox, mplayer etc., do work great. | 02:30 |
| Leefmc | theaber: Well, are they good ones too? I hate installing programs that are "dead"(ie, no dev activity for multiple years) | 02:30 |
| usser | [KS], lsmod | grep iwlwifi is clear too, | 02:30 |
| akaaka99 | sup guys.. guess from which HW im using ubuntu right now? :D:D:D | 02:30 |
| Bizzeh | is there a preferances item that i can install that will allow me to set which disks to mount on boot and set that users can access them? (like in kubuntu) | 02:30 |
| akaaka99 | and is running smoothhhhh | 02:30 |
| usser | [KS], can u pastebin lsmod without any grep's see whats there | 02:30 |
| [KS] | usser, it is | 02:30 |
| theblue | akazawa, Sega Dreamcast? | 02:30 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, definitely. | 02:30 |
| akaaka99 | lol theblue | 02:30 |
| akaaka99 | from the ps3 | 02:30 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, also you can look at sites like this: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and http://www.linuxalt.com/ | 02:30 |
| theblue | akaaka99, Very cool. | 02:30 |

| Leefmc | JoshJ: Since were on the subject, last night from ubuntu i was going through some flash tuts on basics. One of which was the basic ubuntu repository (linux/whatever) for installed programs. How is this maintained? Are there many "dead" or "not well written" programs in that list? | 02:31 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, note that while those sites list programs, you really should install them from the package manager if you can rather than downloading/compiling them yourself | 02:31 |
| akazawa | theblue: well I have dc and love it | 02:31 |
| JoshJ | the ubuntu repository is maintained by the ubuntu people, who in turn get it from Debian | 02:32 |
| astro76 | remu: sleep 10 && command | 02:32 |
| usser | [KS], empty for some reason | 02:32 |

| Flannel | Leefmc: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for questions like that, just FYI | 02:32 |
| vietcoop | Why my Ubuntu 8.04 desktop can not update? It said that: Could not calculate the upgrade | 02:32 |
| usser | [KS], invalid pastebin id says | 02:32 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, the few dead programs are mostly in "universe"; the main stuff is all actively maintained | 02:32 |
| vietcoop | A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. | 02:32 |
| vietcoop | This can be caused by: | 02:32 |
| vietcoop | * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu | 02:32 |
| vietcoop | * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu | 02:32 |
| vietcoop | * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu | 02:32 |

| [KS] | usser, http://pastebin.com/d439dc9d9 | 02:32 |
| hiworld | hello world | 02:32 |
| [KS] | apparently www.pastebin.com and pastebin.com are not the same | 02:33 |
| Leefmc | Yea, i'll be doing lots of wiki downloading. | 02:33 |
| JoshJ | Leefmc, also, "universe" programs are not necessarily reviewed by the Ubuntu people so they are more likely to be lower quality or just plain viewed as "un-essential" for some reason | 02:33 |
| JoshJ | note that some of them are high quality, some of them are just redundant (text editors #40 through 90) | 02:33 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: On a sidenote, is there a downloadable version of that? I'm going to be offline in a week, for a week, some i'd like to still make ubuntu progress if i can | 02:33 |
| Bizzeh | KS: they are. but there are .ca .net and .org which are totaly different people running them | 02:33 |
| remu | sdls: try www.ubuntuguide.org, REALLY helpful for me | 02:33 |

| astro76 | vietcoop: what command did you use? | 02:35 |
| Bizzeh | sdls: you could do what i do, the best way of learning is to install ubuntu, and just play around with it | 02:35 |
| usser | [KS], almost same as mine | 02:35 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: Have you tried running audacity from the terminal? You could then see if it returns any errors that might help you figure out what is wrong. | 02:35 |
| Bizzeh | when you break it, you know not to do that again... then just reinstall | 02:35 |

| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: Before you do that, try running audacity in a terminal to see if it returns any errors (just type "audacity" in a terminal). | 02:37 |
| astro76 | vietcoop: perhaps uninstall all packages you installed from whatever 3rd party repo is screwing you up | 02:37 |

| JoshJ | Polygon89, did you just upgrade from gutsy to hardy? | 02:40 |
| usser | [KS], unload mac80211 and load iwlwifi_mac80211 | 02:40 |

| Polygon89 | jtmoney, not really. | 02:43 |
| === Atlis is now known as atlas95 | ||
| usser | [KS], yea i guess. sudo make uninstall and sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy | 02:43 |
| flint | jtmoney, you will see a performance boost by upgrading to 8.04 about 20 percent | 02:43 |
| usser | [KS], reboot and see if it works | 02:43 |
| JoshJ | Polygon89, check to see if linux-restricted-modules is in there | 02:43 |
| [KS] | usser, what would happen if I installed these drivers on -16 kernel? | 02:43 |
| jtmoney | flint: already on 8.04... would like to squeeze a little more out of this box though | 02:43 |
| Swish | flint, where's that 20% boost coming from? | 02:44 |
| Swish | and from what version to what version? | 02:44 |
| yowshi | whats the mount suffix to list all hard drives connected to the computer? | 02:44 |
| usser | [KS], probably the same outcome... | 02:44 |
| ksbalaji | Steve-Cal: Running in terminal gave a lot of errors. However audacity just popped up with the same error. May I PM the error to you? I cannot flood the errors here.( about 20 lines) | 02:44 |
| flint | Swish, When I installed it that is what it felt like... could have just been the cool graphics... :^) | 02:44 |
| Polygon89 | JoshJ, it wasnt installed O.O | 02:44 |
| usser | [KS], but u can try it before installing backports i guess | 02:44 |
| Polygon89 | JoshJ, ill go restart x and see if that magically fixed it. | 02:44 |
| astro76 | yowshi: just mount will list all mounted partitions, sudo fdisk -l will list all partitions | 02:44 |
| [KS] | usser, can I install backport first, cause I need to restart after that anyway | 02:44 |
| yowshi | thanks | 02:45 |
| JoshJ | Polygon89, heh. that showed up on the bugs page... might be it; might not be | 02:45 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: Please pastebin the errors (pastebin.com) | 02:45 |

| remu | does anyone know how I can hide the join and part messages in xchat? I searched online, and some people are saying that "/set irc_conf_mode 1" should turn it off...but it I just typed it, and am still seeing join and part messages | 02:45 |
| usser | [KS], no that may interfere | 02:45 |
| flint | Swish It was up from 7.10. care for a dumb question about apache-ssl vs apache2? | 02:45 |
| astro76 | remu: right click the channel name | 02:45 |

| usser | [KS], even though it shouldnt but i dont know what to think anymore | 02:45 |
| syrius` | Anyone have any luck compiling linux-restricted-modules for a custom kernel? | 02:45 |
| Swish | go for it, but I hope it's quick, I'm going to bed soon | 02:45 |
| [KS] | usser, ok I am gonna try with -16 | 02:45 |
| [KS] | i did make uninstall and make clean :) | 02:46 |
| syrius` | the online guide leads me to errors during build :/ | 02:46 |
| remu | astro76: I know I can hide them that way, I just thought there must be a way to auto do it every time | 02:46 |

| Swish | flint, not sure, but the standard apache2 install can still do https (ssl) | 02:47 |
| JoshJ | mepsipax, correct, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 02:47 |

| JoshJ | theFATMAN, that's syntactically correct, i have no idea if that's what you actually want to do though | 02:52 |
| JoshJ | you may have to sudo it due to the location | 02:52 |
| [KS] | usser lol yeah | 02:53 |
| theFATMAN | joshj, ah ok, well i'm doin a bit of port forwarding | 02:53 |
| [KS] | altough iwlwifi_mac80211 wont modload | 02:53 |
| christoz | does vlc or tottem supports .mp4 format files? | 02:53 |

| Steve-Cal | theFATMAN: Are you trying to get azureus working with a router? | 02:53 |
| usser | [KS], pastebin modinfo iwl4965 | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | wers, for doing a large # of taks imagemagick is handy. :) http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php has some details of the packages features. if you want a alterantive gui tool. I tend to use picassa a lot | 02:54 |
| theFATMAN | Steve-Cal, yeah | 02:54 |
| syrius` | Anyone with experience compiling linux-restricted-modules for a custom kernel that could assist me for a moment? | 02:54 |

| [KS] | lol it's ok | 02:54 |
| JoshJ | theFATMAN, is the router the computer you're doing /etc/init.d modifying on? | 02:54 |
| [KS] | my wifi card is even in the dropdown list of the nm-applet | 02:54 |
| [KS] | :D | 02:54 |
| JoshJ | if not, you need to actually modify it in the *router*- see portforward.com | 02:54 |
| usser | [KS], hah | 02:54 |
| theFATMAN | joshj, yeah | 02:54 |
| jo_ | OH HAI GUIS | 02:54 |
| usser | [KS], i bet the wifi LED doesnt work though | 02:54 |
| === jo_ is now known as Psyux | ||
| Steve-Cal | theFATMAN: the only port forwarding you should need to do is with your router configuration--you shouldn't need to mess with iptables on your machine. | 02:54 |

| [KS] | usser, it's always orange | 02:54 |
| ksbalaji | Steve-Cal: The URL is -http://pastebin.com/d6d6fc336 | 02:55 |

| [KS] | quickplay I think | 02:55 |
| usser | [KS], yep, LED works with backports modules | 02:55 |
| theFATMAN | Steve-Cal, i wasnt sure, i was just going by their wiki, they have an ubuntu reference section | 02:55 |

| theFATMAN | lol | 02:55 |
| [KS] | usser, thanks | 02:55 |
| [KS] | usser, led vs wifi, guess what I chose :D | 02:55 |
| mepsipax | how do I see how much space files are taking up? | 02:55 |
| usser | [KS], can u still pastebin modinfo iwl4965 i want to see it | 02:55 |
| usser | [KS], ? | 02:55 |
| [KS] | ok sure | 02:55 |
| JoshJ | mepsipax, "du" | 02:55 |
| Steve-Cal | theFATMAN: That's strange--do you have the URL for that info? | 02:56 |
| JoshJ | mepsipax, that takes a while if you don't add other stuff :p | 02:56 |
| theFATMAN | joshj, yeah, they dont have my router on that site | 02:56 |
| Flannel | mepsipax: ls -lh /path/to/file | 02:56 |
| astro76 | mepsipax: also, df -h | 02:56 |

| usser | [KS], but u'll still want to go to newer kernel at some point | 02:56 |
| astro76 | mepsipax: depending on exactly what you mean ;) | 02:56 |
| [KS] | but wifi does not see my network still | 02:56 |

| [KS] | maybe I should restart? | 02:56 |
| JoshJ | (along with some other stuff) | 02:56 |
| usser | [KS], does it see other network? | 02:56 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: Did you install Audacity through the repositories or did you compile it yourself? | 02:56 |
| [KS] | no | 02:57 |
| [KS] | it says Wired Networks | 02:57 |

| JoshJ | mepsipax, you should do "man" on the various things to find out for sure what you want and how to use them. | 02:57 |
| usser | [KS], give it some time... it takes maybe 2 mins on my laptop for it to initialize | 02:57 |
| theLichKing | hello | 02:57 |
| deeperror | when i get these recommended updates is that removing the files it is updating or does this add more and more every time? | 02:58 |
| usser | [KS], also try iwlist wlan0 scan | 02:58 |
| JoshJ | mepsipax, ls -s gives filesize in blocks | 02:58 |
| [KS] | usser, what was the name of the graphic card driver | 02:58 |
| [KS] | the one you told me to change to ati? | 02:58 |
| astro76 | deeperror: files are replaced | 02:58 |

| astro76 | theFATMAN: type the nick like I just did | 02:58 |
| astro76 | theFATMAN: tab completion helps | 02:58 |
| chetnick | my gnome-panel is very CPU intensive. Is there anything I can do about it? | 02:58 |
| theFATMAN | astro76: i had no idea it did that, lol | 02:59 |
| Steve-Cal | theFATMAN: Yes, based on the info on that page, I don't believe you need to do anything more then forward the necessary ports thru your router setup. | 02:59 |
| theLichKing | i installed the windows wireless drivers package, installed the driver, and now i wanna configure the network.. the problem is the network configurator asks for the name of the network.. how can i tell it to search the wireless networks that are available and choose from one? | 02:59 |
| [KS] | ok | 02:59 |
| [KS] | I did the restart | 02:59 |
| deeperror | astro76: thanks seemed like a lot of things being downloaded the other day just making sure that was the case | 02:59 |
| [KS] | after the restart I'll pastebin iwl | 02:59 |
| theFATMAN | Steve-Cal: ok, thanks dude | 02:59 |
| bonhoffer | i get skipping non-regular file MyDirectory | 02:59 |
| usser | [KS], kk | 02:59 |
| JoshJ | theFATMAN, you should be able to do it via xchat settings: settings -> preferences -> chatting -> alerts -> nicknames to always highlight | 02:59 |
| bonhoffer | if i do mput MyDirectory | 02:59 |
| Sergeant_Pony | is there a way to format a usb memory stick? | 02:59 |
| astro76 | deeperror: well yeah the package has to be downloaded, but when it is installed it replaces files... however the .deb package is actually saved in /var/cache/apt/archives | 03:00 |
| Catslacks | I installed Warcraft 3 with Wine but it doesn't work. When I run it everything just flashes. I checked WineDB but it said there shouldn't be any problems. | 03:00 |
| [KS] | usser, ati driver was causing flicker in -16 kernel so i had to change it back | 03:00 |
| theFATMAN | Steve-Cal: i am a former windows user, how do i find my ip in the terminal? | 03:00 |
| astro76 | deeperror: if you want to empty that, you can do sudo apt-get clean | 03:00 |
| deeperror | and the debs can be removed | 03:00 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: I think your best bet is give the 1.2.x version a try. Be sure to first uninstall your 1.3 version, and uou can download the 1.2.6 version here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-updates/i386/audacity/download | 03:00 |
| deeperror | ahh cool | 03:00 |
| JoshJ | Catslacks, check #wine | 03:00 |

| astro76 | Catslacks: you want #winehq | 03:01 |

| JoshJ | Catslacks, see astro76 's comment | 03:02 |
| bonhoffer | the web says to use put -R MyDirectory -- but this doesn't work | 03:02 |
| roxahris | what commend do I use to rename files froma consile | 03:02 |
| bonhoffer | is this really complicated -- thought folks would ftp directories a lot | 03:02 |

| bonhoffer | roxahris: mv | 03:02 |
| syrius` | yeah I know, i was suprised.. i just couldn't do it with the gui.. i'm sure there is a command line way to do it | 03:02 |

| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, same as You format any other filesystem. I normally use 'sudo mkfs.XXXX /dev/devicename' | 03:05 |
| JoshJ | bonhoffer, you need a -b flag (or similar) to indicate that you want to transfer a binary file | 03:05 |
| astro76 | bonhoffer: it's usage mirrors cp | 03:05 |
| JoshJ | Lachlan, you mean like rdp? | 03:05 |
| JoshJ | !rdp | 03:05 |
| ubottu | Factoid rdp not found | 03:05 |
| Flannel | moDumass: Don't use sudo for graphical programs, use kdesu instead. to fix this, delete or chown ~/.ICEauthority back to yourself | 03:05 |

| JoshJ | probably the people in #centos and #redhat | 03:06 |
| bonhoffer | astro76: i'll give it a try | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, check 'sudo fdisk -l' or the 'dmesg' output when you plug it in.. rember you partition, then format. :) if youw ant to change the filesystem type. you will need to do that befor you format. | 03:06 |

| will01 | is it possible to have amarok's collection folder be on a samba share? | 03:08 |
| [KS] | usser, could it be that wifi device is disabled by default? | 03:09 |
| astro76 | Sergeant_Pony: type mkfs then hit <TAB><TAB>, you'll see the different commands that start with mkfs. | 03:09 |
| [KS] | usser, there is nothing in BIOS about it... can that be a problem? | 03:09 |
| dfox1 | will01: probably, but it might be slow. amarok disk activty is pretty heavy in collection scanning (64bit here) | 03:09 |
| usser | [KS], yes that may be in fact thats one of the known bugs with iwl driver but you had different symptoms in the beginning | 03:10 |
| will01 | dfox1: what im trying to do is limit the amount of hard drive space consumed on a laptop and id like some guidance on this one | 03:10 |
| usser | [KS], take a look in dmesg is there anything like this iwl4965: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch | 03:10 |
| will01 | dfox1: and cant you completely disable the occasional scan and just do it manually? | 03:10 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, for whatever filesystem type you want. :) linux basics. | 03:11 |
| usser | [KS], just type dmesg in terminal | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, what filesystem are you trying to format to? if you dont understand what i mean by filesystem - well theres some linux basics to be learning befor you do this. | 03:12 |

| dfox1 | will01: not sure if it can be disabled, but what I'd try first is copy the files over to a shared folder and point amarok to it. | 03:12 |

| dfox1 | will01: unforch I don't do samba, no windows boxes here | 03:12 |
| will01 | dfox1 ok thanks, but i mighta just figured it out | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, so what kind of filesytstem to you want to put on it? ext3? will it JUST be used by linux? if you want windows to access it also you will wan tto use fat32, or fat16 filesystem (known as vfat in linux terms) | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | !format | 03:14 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 03:14 |
| KenSentMe | My laptop tends to hang completely this evening. I can only reboot it by a hard shutdown. How can i check if this is a hardware or a software failure? | 03:14 |
| Steve-Cal | Dr_willis: Actually there are programs in Windows (free ones even) that allow you to access EXT3 filesystems. That's not necessarily a problem. | 03:15 |
| Dr_willis | Steve-Cal, ive tried them.. and there can be problems. :) | 03:15 |
| NMajik | What exactly am I seeing if I run sudo cat /dev/core or sudo strings /dev/core? | 03:15 |
| [KS] | usser, is there a solution? | 03:15 |
| ___Alex___ | KenSentMe: use the diagnostic software provided by your laptop manufacturer | 03:15 |
| Flannel | moDumass: it's in your home folder, make sure you ctrl-H to see hidden files | 03:16 |
| ksbalaji_ | Steve-Cal:Were you able to get the errors list please? Can I repair and just keep the beta version or choose a stable version of audacity? | 03:16 |
| Steve-Cal | Dr_willis: Hmmm... I have no problems with the one I'm using, I forget the exact name though. | 03:16 |
| moDumass | Flannel, yeh i was using a search tool, but found it through lookin around | 03:16 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Dr_willis I got it formatted and mounted but it formatted it for superuser only? | 03:16 |
| Dr_willis | Steve-Cal, problems can vary.. but what if he takes that stick to a friends/work/school where he cant install the softwware.. ive also had beginners have issues with files they move around gettting owned by root and so forth. | 03:17 |
| syrius` | Anyone with experience compiling linux-restricted-modules for a custom kernel that could assist me for a moment? | 03:17 |

| selocol | Or the path to it. Thank you. | 03:17 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, for a ext2/3 filesystem - always make a directory on the filesystem, thats then chowned by the user. to give them full access to that directory. | 03:17 |
| ksbalaji_ | Steve-Cal: I just got disconnected and missed a few lines for 10minutes. | 03:17 |

| Mr_Bad_News | when i try to put my card into monitor mode i get Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument. | 03:18 |
| selocol | Jack_Sparrow: No, I'm asking specifically about the Add/Remove Program interface. | 03:18 |
| KenSentMe | ___Alex___, is there no way Ubuntu do some diagnosis? | 03:18 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: I see, well I suggested going ahead and trying the 1.2.6 stable release, which you can get at: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty-updates/i386/audacity/download (be sure to uninstall the 1.3 version first) | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sergeant_Pony Would this help First, check the ownership by going to /media and doing a ls -la ... Then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /yourPartition followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la | 03:19 |
| astro76 | selocol: run add/remove, then do ps -aux, it should be the next to last process in the list | 03:19 |
| moDumass | ok, so i can get ktorrent up and working but it doesnt accept torrent files, they just dont start dloading | 03:19 |
| moDumass | its strange | 03:19 |
| selocol | astro76: ok thanks | 03:19 |
| Steve-Cal | Dr_willis: Yes, that's a very good point. I agree with you since it's a USB stick--I was thinking more of my linux partition getting mounted in Windows. | 03:19 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does that mean i cant use aireplay for injections? | 03:19 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Jack_sparrow I'm going to have to start this over from step 1 | 03:19 |
| erinrylee | is there any kind of migration tool I can use to transfer my firefox,evolution, and pidgin files/configs after I've already installed? | 03:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sergeant_Pony I was just passing through.. Just thought that might apply | 03:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | erinrylee | 03:20 |
| ubottu | erinrylee: 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 | 03:20 |
| Flannel | erinrylee: Migration from what to what? | 03:20 |
| Dr_willis | Steve-Cal, ive also had windows crash.. and trash my linux filesystem once. I always unmount the linux drives when done when i access tehm from windows. :) and befor i exit windows | 03:20 |
| Steve-Cal | Mr_Bad_News: Are you using ndiswrapper for your wireless? | 03:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | madwifi-ng | 03:20 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Jack_Sparrow I'm just trying to reformat a usb memory stick to put my college papers on as a backup | 03:21 |
| erinrylee | Flannel, from gentoo to ubuntu | 03:21 |
| klosk1 | does ubuntu support hfs out of the box ?? | 03:21 |
| Mr_Bad_News | or do i have to set it in monitor mode using airmon first? | 03:21 |
| Flannel | erinrylee: just backup your home folder, that contains all your personal settings | 03:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sergeant_Pony Use windows or gparted and make it fat32 or fat 16 | 03:21 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, so what filesystem did you format it to? | 03:21 |
| Steve-Cal | Mr_Bad_News: Just checking, because ndiswrapper does not support RF monitor mode. I think your madwifi does though. | 03:21 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Jack_Sparrow good Idea | 03:21 |
| syrius` | Anyone with experience compiling linux-restricted-modules for a custom kernel that could assist me for a moment? | 03:21 |

| Sergeant_Pony | Dr_willis ext2 | 03:22 |
| erinrylee | Flannel, eek my homedir is a mess...my gentoo install is from 2001 | 03:22 |
| Steve-Cal | ksbalaji: No problem, good luck with it. :) | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sergeant_Pony I agree with Dr_willis ... virtually always | 03:22 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, you realize that if you take your drive to most window machines it wont be able to read it .. right? | 03:22 |
| Flannel | erinrylee: Well, just backup the preferences you want. Pidgin, Evolution, Mozilla | 03:22 |
| syrius` | this could take a while to figure out... bleh.. :p | 03:23 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Dr_willis yes I understand. I want it to backup my papers for college and I do them under ubuntu only | 03:23 |
| erinrylee | Flannel, will firefox use my 2.0.0.14 settings in 3.0beta? | 03:23 |
| Flannel | erinrylee: I have no idea | 03:23 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, for my external disks - i normally 'sudo mkdir /media/WHATEVER/username_storage ' then 'sudo chown /media/WHATEVER/username_storage username.username' | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sergeant_Pony Fat32 or Fat 16 will let you access them from either os | 03:24 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, that way the files on the usb device have proper ownership. | 03:24 |
| erinrylee | me either, what a beotch | 03:24 |
| tetraedr | hi everyone | 03:24 |
| Flannel | erinrylee: I imagine if the file formats are different, FF will convert it the first time you read it | 03:24 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Dr_Willis: why does it default to superuser on a format? | 03:24 |
| tetraedr | I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04LTS from USB Stick made with UNetbootin | 03:24 |
| Dr_willis | Sergeant_Pony, why shouldent it? :) its not owned by ANYONE unless you tell it to.. | 03:24 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Dr_Willis: ok, good point | 03:25 |
| tetraedr | but installer can't find CD even when I'm mounting it with mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /cdrom | 03:25 |
| syrius` | Would anyone be able to direct me to some useful resources regarding compilation of the restricted-modules source if they don't know first hand? | 03:25 |
| tetraedr | what should I do? | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | tetraedr, a cdrom is not a vfat filesystem. | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | tetraedr, -t iso9660 | 03:25 |
| PCcertified | Hi peeps, I just installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS desktop edition and ust say it looks nice but, when using the preinstalled firefox (V3) I lost my top toolbar, as in no window decoration, no bar, no max/min buttons etc. any ideas how to get it back? | 03:26 |
| tetraedr | Dr_willis, I'm trying to install from USB Stick and there can't be iso9660 | 03:26 |
| selocol | Can someone tell me the path to "Add/Remove Applications"? I can't find it in ps -aux. | 03:27 |
| Dr_willis | tetraedr, Im not clear on what you are doing then. There is a ' !install ' factoid that has links to alternative methods of installing. | 03:27 |
| Flannel | selocol: it's gnome-app-select, or something like that | 03:27 |
| DIL | i have a pci sound card installed - youtube audio can be heard on the mobo audio jacks but not on the pci audio card; rythmbox radio stations can only be heard through the pci sound card | 03:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PCcertified try in a term compiz -replace or emerald --replace | 03:27 |
| tj83 | DIL .. Did you disable the on-board audio in the bios? | 03:28 |
| tetraedr | Dr_willis, I've made usb stick with UNetbooin and ubuntu 8.04 LTS and trying to install ubuntu from it, but I don't know how to make installer see flash drive as CD or consider so | 03:28 |
| rainman | hey how can i run a iso image without burning? | 03:28 |
| Dr_willis | rainman, you can 'mount' an iso image and access its file.. if thats what you want. | 03:28 |
| PCcertified | selocol it's usr/bin/gnome-app-install | 03:28 |
| smehmood | what is System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts doing behind the scenes? I assume its a GUI frontend to some other config file. Anyone know where/how I can get at that directly? | 03:29 |
| DIL | tj83: not that i recalled i changed jumpers to enable front jacks | 03:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tetraedr THis may help Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh or read you at pendrivelinux.com | 03:29 |

| Zaiden | Is it possible to have WINE and pulseaudio work together so that I can hear all my sound? | 03:29 |
| tj83 | DIL.... i dont think that using 2 audio controllers is recommended if you want to make use of forward jacks they should be re routed to your PCI card. | 03:30 |
| rainman | thanks the thing is i dont have any dvds haha | 03:30 |
| DIL | tj83: is it a software issue or hardware the reroute | 03:30 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Jack_Sparrow and Dr_willis thanks got it going correctly so now I can get into it | 03:31 |
| tj83 | DIL... I would physically re-route the audio cables from the forward jacks to your PCI card and disable the on-board audio from the bios | 03:31 |

| codecaine | but to answer your questions yojesus you would use chown | 04:20 |
| amenado | !who | kenshin | 04:20 |
| codecaine | sudo chown thefile root | 04:20 |
| ubottu | kenshin: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 04:20 |
| kenshin | i manually put dns servers and static ips, but still won't budge | 04:20 |
| Chrysalis | whats the equivalent to the Tahoma font in linux | 04:21 |
| kenshin | hmm | 04:21 |
| kenshin | !tab | 04:21 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:21 |
| rice | Oi, does anybody know the command to start a dockable app in the dock (I remember it's like "$ <app-command> && docked" or something similar) | 04:21 |
| codecaine | I mean sudo chown root thefile | 04:21 |
| m_newton | <dthacker>this user has no privalages though and my sudo passwd wont let me login into this account. This is not the root passwd only the sudo passwd | 04:21 |
| froduntu | codecaine: it works like a charm | 04:21 |

| jtaylor13 | i put a dvd in and can NOT play it with totem or mplayer. | 04:26 |

| newbieOnShell | use vlc | 04:26 |
| kamiro87 | ok i'l try to stop gdm | 04:27 |
| Carbonflux | vlc is buggy in the context of pulse audio tho | 04:27 |

| froduntu | etc. | 04:27 |
| froduntu | hm | 04:27 |
| Carbonflux | depends on your client | 04:27 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux> srry for the noobish talk, but what does that mean exactly, is it like an emulation, a vertual desktop graphics configure user?? | 04:28 |
| froduntu | I mean isn't there a way of telling xchat ok ignore that | 04:28 |
| codecaine | maybe if you made a filter to do it | 04:28 |
| Carbonflux | froduntu, yes there is | 04:28 |
| shane2peru | how about konversation? can it filter that? | 04:28 |
| Flannel | shane2peru: yes | 04:28 |

| khimera2000_ | grrrr >.< i havent used IRC in a LONG TIME >.< | 04:29 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, you know about how linux run's xserver and then a window manager like meta-city talks to the xserver and then gnome talks to metacity, all generating a gui in the end? | 04:29 |
| PCcertified | tj83 ROCKS | 04:30 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux> can you elaborate, i have never heard of a xserver | 04:30 |
| PCcertified | ;) | 04:30 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | I did not succed with "nvidia-xconfig" | 04:30 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, there are times when you might want to run one xserver inside of another, its really a dev thing or only needed for very specific applications | 04:30 |
| shane2peru | Flannel: found it! :) | 04:30 |
| froduntu | speaking of that has anybody here experimented with xming? | 04:31 |
| froduntu | I don't know if it is exactly that | 04:31 |
| shane2peru | froduntu: thanks for bringing that up, wow, that is much better! | 04:31 |
| will01 | im trying to have a computer access music on a windows share over a vpn connection. is there a good program out there that would do that/ | 04:31 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux>so it is, not a prank a friend played on me? | 04:31 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, the xserver is what talks to the graphics hardware to put it very simply | 04:31 |
| codecaine | Roughneck_cowboy try jockey-gtk | 04:31 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | well I'm new in linux (2 days atm) | 04:32 |
| chmac | Anyone know a quick way to send a test system email to my username on Ubuntu? | 04:32 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux>So xserver basically a graphics driver so to speak | 04:32 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, no, I think its part of Ubuntu, seems like you must have the nested xserver stuff installed, let me check my machine and see | 04:32 |
| froduntu | xming (if I remember correctly) is this little Xserver emulation for windows | 04:32 |
| PCcertified | Roughneck_cowboy: your nvidia-xconfig requires root to properly save the conf file. try editing your menu to launch it with gksu | 04:32 |

| jramsey | anyone know why apache won't execute php in a .html file, even with the following in .htaccess: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm | 04:32 |
| froduntu | where you can run with putty on a windows machine applications that are being served from an ubuntu workstation | 04:32 |
| froduntu | or ubuntu server | 04:32 |
| froduntu | it is really cool | 04:32 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, no, its not like windows persay, its more of a graphics server that talks to the graphics drivers, linux gui has more layers then windows for example, its also far more modular :) | 04:33 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: because apache is more sane than you are? :) | 04:33 |
| jtaylor13 | group: if you can"t play a simple dvd in ubuntu then what are people using it for other then surfing the net? | 04:33 |

| Mr_Bad_News | what is svn ? | 04:33 |
| chmac | Mr_Bad_News: Subversion | 04:33 |
| codecaine | yes roughneck_cowboy | 04:33 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: on a serious note.. It could be .htacces is disabled in server config, or limited | 04:33 |
| Mr_Bad_News | svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng command not found | 04:33 |
| Mr_Bad_News | ? | 04:33 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, there's nothing wrong with php code in .html files; that's why the AddType is available in .htaccess | 04:33 |
| chmac | Mr_Bad_News: You'll probably need to install subversion... | 04:34 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | and ? when edited ? | 04:34 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, how can i check if .htaccess is disabled? | 04:34 |

| froduntu | codecaine: you were superb my friend | 04:34 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: check the apache config files? Uusually you can turn on or off all or parts of what htacces can change, per directory basis if needed | 04:35 |
| froduntu | thanks a lot once again | 04:35 |

| Carbonflux | m_newton, I don't have that user on my machine, I am not sure whats up, it could be you installed something that installed the nested x server stuff | 04:35 |
| joshual | suddenly plugging in my mp3 player everything is read only... | 04:35 |
| jtaylor13 | group: what can you use to watch a dvd? i tied totem.mplayer it says audio out put busy | 04:35 |
| chmac | Mr_Bad_News: It's called subversion, not svn, sorry | 04:35 |

| wepeel | Hi everybody. Fresh install of hardy on my laop top. Has anyone had trouble with flash being sloooow on ff3? | 04:36 |
| rich_freecomm | has anyone ever used 'dump' and 'restore'? Does it (b|g)zip? | 04:36 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, ya, not sure about the issues related to deleting it, I can see why you asked tho, I would worry about getting hacked if I did not understand why that account is there, you said a friend could be playing a joke on you? other people have access to this machine? | 04:37 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: look for AllowOverride, think thats what it was called | 04:37 |
| wepeel | like, the maps on weather.com are really slow | 04:37 |
| codecaine | wepeel no but they had 2 flash installed and had to unistall both flashes then install just one | 04:37 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, yeah that's what i'm looking for now; but i have to find the config file first! | 04:37 |
| codecaine | caused firefox to crash a lot | 04:37 |
| kesi | can anyone help me with a wifi wpa2 issue? Sometimes I can connect and sometimes, like now, I can't. Usually deleting the network from the list does this trick but not tonight. I've rebooted the router and the computer. It's WPA2 TKIP. | 04:37 |
| wepeel | codecaine, ah...flashplugin-nonfree and...? | 04:37 |
| codecaine | yea thats a good plugin | 04:37 |
| chmac | Anyone know if I have to do anything to get mail working locally? | 04:37 |
| chmac | I have nothing in /var/mail/ - but I have cron jobs set to echo errors... | 04:38 |
| wepeel | codecaine, know what the other plug was? Did it cause flash to not work at all? | 04:38 |
| codecaine | I would open up synapitcs and type flash and look for multiple flash for monzilla installed | 04:38 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4909036 | 04:38 |
| wepeel | codecaine, good call thanks | 04:38 |
| codecaine | can't remember off the back of my head I know its all over google | 04:38 |
| narothepharoh | just updated firefox and its not working now? firefox 3 beta 5 ?? | 04:38 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, how do i restart apache? | 04:39 |
| prem | what is the best way to partition a 160 GB hard disk to install ubuntu | 04:39 |
| wepeel | cusious, however, it can't be my vid driver as everything else is wicked fast, right? | 04:39 |
| wepeel | *curious | 04:39 |
| Flannel | jramsey: sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart | 04:39 |
| [RICE] | @narothepharoh, how is it not working? Explain. | 04:39 |
| jramsey | Flannel, txs | 04:39 |
| obione | jra, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 04:39 |
| m_newton | What is DSA? | 04:39 |
| PCcertified | prem is this your first linux install | 04:39 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: apache2ctl restart if you have apache2, or using /etc/init.d/apache2 script | 04:39 |
| codecaine | its probably just firefox | 04:39 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: just for the record, I don't think moving html to php is a good long term idea. There are reasons for them being different :) | 04:39 |
| prem | no | 04:39 |

| Carbonflux | m_newton, it looks like in this case sabayon can be used to manage more then one gnome user profile | 04:40 |
| wepeel | so, anyone had trouble upgrading to hardy from 6.10, ha.ha. | 04:40 |
| [RICE] | Wow... weird. No idea. | 04:40 |
| wepeel | the machine I'm on now is running 6.10 and I think I'll upgrade or clean install. likely the second is best, no? | 04:40 |
| chris420 | sweet nmap sems to know what the hell is going on haha thanks to who ever turned me to it.... piece out | 04:40 |
| narothepharoh | #Xubuntu | 04:40 |
| amenado | wepeel-> clean install | 04:41 |
| codecaine | I hate upgrade I just fresh install all the time :) can copy a list of dpkg installs | 04:41 |
| codecaine | :) | 04:41 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, at a guess I don't think its a problem, removing it might be a problem if you have several gnome profiles etc, seems like the main use is to manage settings for these profiles | 04:41 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux> cool, i just have my username and root, not much to manage so to speak | 04:41 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, it is a great idea if .htm/.html files are linked in search engines and you want to make a site dynamic; this is how it's done, e.g. <?php include("index.php"); ?> | 04:41 |
| Terrasque | wepeel: from 6.10 you have to do a lot of upgrades.. first to 7.04 then to 7.10 and then to 8.04 iirc | 04:41 |
| wepeel | amenado, because of the old version or because hardy is best from clean install? | 04:41 |
| chmac | Does anybody know if there is a default MTA installed on Ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| amenado | wepeel-> clean install is much better | 04:41 |
| Rayvis | Anyone know a good online linux game, preferably an mmorpg? | 04:41 |
| wepeel | I thought so, too, but I had no backup for that opinion | 04:41 |
| PCcertified | I'm using the latest ubuntu 8.04 LTS and it's cool, tried Debian and both kubuntu's first | 04:42 |
| PCcertified | EVE ONLINE | 04:42 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: it also means that apache have to run all html files in that dir through the php processor, and some programs and systems can get confused. And it's messy :) | 04:42 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux>sort of a trivial thing but how does one (Remote closed the connection) | 04:42 |
| Rayvis | also preferably free | 04:42 |
| kdc1956 | bxflag | 04:42 |
| PCcertified | if you like space games. they have a linux client | 04:42 |
| kdc1956 | bz | 04:42 |
| wepeel | Rayvis, try Runescape | 04:43 |
| wepeel | it's got nothing to do with linux, but it's a decent free MMORPG | 04:43 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, running all .html files thru the php processor or having php spit out html, what's the difference? | 04:43 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | gksu => Gtk - Warning ** cannot open display | 04:43 |
| jramsey | the php processor still has to run | 04:44 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, this is a fairly new install? seems like you might have installed it as a dependency or something, it does not seem like the kind of thing one would install without knowing what it is. One thing you can try is go into the Synaptic package manager and select it, look at the dependencies tab in the info display, or you can mark it for removal and see what it wants to remove in addition, then unmark it if that seems bad. | 04:44 |
| chmac | jramsey: The former allows you to use <?php ?> tags in your HTML files, the latter does not | 04:44 |
| will01 | how do i mount a samba share to a local folder? | 04:44 |
| chmac | will01: Try Places > Connect to Server | 04:44 |
| jramsey | chmac, precisely ... and the former lets google linked pages remain intact with php added | 04:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | runescape's engine would have been embarrassing 8 years ago, let alone now -_- | 04:44 |
| kenshin | I had network issues | 04:44 |
| squidly | does anyone have a recomendation for a p2p application that is easy to use for a linux/computer newb? | 04:44 |
| Rayvis | Has anyone played Planeshift? | 04:44 |
| kenshin | Now ubuntu will just not start | 04:45 |
| kenshin | :| | 04:45 |
| kenshin | i see the boot screen and i login | 04:45 |
| Terrasque | jramsey: not for static html files, saves the server for a lot of work. There are also some cosmetic and structural reasons. You could also use the rewrite module to send visitors from the html page to the php page. | 04:45 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | Anyone could help me ? | 04:45 |
| will01 | chmac, what im trying to do is set it up so that amarok can see it and use that as its collection folder | 04:45 |
| wepeel | Daisuke_Ido, doesn't mean it's not fun | 04:45 |
| Rayvis | Squidly: I use Frostwire | 04:45 |
| narothepharoh | just updated firefox and its not working now? firefox 3 beta 5 | 04:45 |
| squidly | Rayvis: ok thanks. I usualy use torrents but my gf needs something easier :D | 04:45 |
| PCcertified | roughneck try this gksu /usr/bin/nvidia-settings | 04:45 |
| jramsey | Terrasque, agreed | 04:45 |
| kenshin | then i see a white box and the computer just freezes | 04:45 |
| Rayvis | Squidly: There's also Nicotine+ which is a Soulseek client for linux | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wepeel: i'm a drod addict, i can attest to the fact that games don't need fancy graphics to be good, but it would turn most gamers away pretty quick | 04:46 |
| PCcertified | you can use synaptec to install it if it's ot installed | 04:46 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | ok | 04:46 |
| chmac | jramsey: I'd recommend against running all your html files through the PHP process if you're going to experience any kind of load | 04:46 |
| chmac | jramsey: You can use 301 redirects to redirect to the new PHP pages | 04:46 |
| wepeel | Daisuke_Ido, fair enough :) | 04:46 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux> I dont see any harm in keeping it, it doesnt seem to have any admin privlages. No harm can occur, unless sudo passwd is compramised, it is not in the root group so that is good, I think i will just keep it till it gets in the way | 04:46 |
| squidly | Rayvis: they both work well? | 04:46 |
| PCcertified | I' | 04:46 |
| squidly | in a gui? | 04:46 |
| PCcertified | I' | 04:46 |
| chmac | jramsey: Or better, use pretty urls like /contact/blah/etc/ - then you can respond with HTML / PHP / whatever else | 04:46 |
| PCcertified | I'll b back. gotta reload my X | 04:46 |
| wepeel | Daisuke_Ido, probably just my type of gameplay I guess | 04:46 |
| chmac | will01: Does Places > Connect to Server not mount it for you somewhere? | 04:46 |
| jramsey | chmac, yep | 04:46 |
| Carbonflux | m_newton, ya I agree, kind of scary tho heh, until you know what it is. :) | 04:46 |
| chmac | will01: Or do you want to mount it automatically at boot? | 04:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wepeel: nothing wrong with that at all :) if you like strategy/action games, check drod out - the architect edition is free as in beer | 04:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and available in linux flavour! | 04:47 |
| hisingh1 | Anyone familiar with the term DHS?? i found this term in the ssh folder in etc. Is it like PGP???? | 04:47 |
| chmac | jramsey: The other advantage of linking to directories instead of files is that you can very quickly replace dynamic PHP files with static HTML files if you get "dugg" / etc | 04:47 |
| kenshin | amenado! | 04:48 |
| will01 | chmac, it mounts, id like it to mount automatically at boot, but what id first like to do is connect it so that i can actually retrieve the music | 04:48 |
| narothepharoh | just updated firefox and its not working now? firefox 3 beta 5 | 04:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hisingh1: department of homeland security? | 04:48 |
| chmac | will01: So if it mounts through Places > Connect to Server, can you not load the music from them? | 04:48 |
| chmac | will01: Sorry, from there | 04:48 |
| wepeel | Daisuke_Ido, Drod looks rather Zelda-esque...will try thanks! | 04:48 |
| usser | narothepharoh, do sudo killall -9 firefox-bin | 04:48 |
| Rayvis | Squidly: I haven't used Nicotine+ much but Frostwire works as well as the Windows Client, It's pretty much the pay version of Limewire, but free | 04:48 |
| chmac | narothepharoh: Only run that command if you want to kill all running firefox instances | 04:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wepeel: far from zelda-esque, it's actually turn-based, which seems odd until you play | 04:49 |
| will01 | chmac well the music player is trying but amarok cannot see the folder | 04:49 |
| m_newton | <Carbonflux> I was scared that my friend had accessed my computer or i had been hacked. First time for everything i guess | 04:49 |
| chmac | narothepharoh: On the whole server | 04:49 |
| usser | narothepharoh, and then run firefox from the terminal see if u get any errors | 04:49 |
| codecaine | just killall firefox-bin -9 is last resort | 04:49 |
| squidly | Rayvis: ok awesome that is what I'm looking for | 04:49 |
| chmac | will01: So the problem is not mount related at this point? | 04:49 |
| kenshin | hey amenado | 04:49 |
| hisingh1 | Anyone familiar with the term DHS?? i found this term in the ssh folder in etc. Is it like PGP???? | 04:49 |
| will01 | chmac no i guess not | 04:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !repeat | hisingh1 | 04:49 |

| wepeel | Rayvis, and did you update between the working properly and the not working properly | 05:02 |

| Terrasque | selje: /etc/hosts i guess | 05:05 |
| selje | cant get my administation autorisation to start | 05:05 |

| selje | i cant unistall/install programs, i have over 200 updates waiting, because of this | 05:09 |
| fde | a7c: It is on the install CD... type sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils and it'll grab it for you. | 05:09 |
| wepeel | Rayvis, then see if you get kicked off | 05:09 |
| a7c | fde: alright...attempting that -.- | 05:09 |
| wepeel | Rayvis, if so, try another network manager like Wicd | 05:09 |
| usser | poopha, oh i wouldnt know about it, should be in restricted manager | 05:09 |
| wepeel | Rayvis, at worst, you'll have to submit a bug report and wait :( | 05:10 |
| justm1 | use synaptic gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic | 05:10 |
| poopha | The wireless doesnt pop up at all there htough | 05:10 |
| poopha | should I try reinstalling it? | 05:10 |

| rich_freecomm | has anyone ever used 'dump' and 'restore'? Does it (b|g)zip? | 05:13 |
| Flannel | rich_freecomm: dump and restore for what? | 05:14 |
| Arrick | Right now, I have eth3 setup with a static IP, 192.168.1.102... I can ping this server from my laptop on the same network, yet this same server cannot ping google.com, and also cant pull packages... any ideas? | 05:14 |
| rich_freecomm | partitions | 05:14 |
| Arrick | (there is no gui on this server) | 05:14 |
| Jaysun | (Trying to install apache/mysql/php on ubuntu 8.04 - no net access on ubuntu system) I've tried install apache first by downloading the packages from the net on my xp pc - but every package seems to depend on another, and it's just crazy going back and forth to/from computer =( It's really not going well.. | 05:14 |
| rich_freecomm | the d=command 'dump' | 05:14 |
| a7c | fde: rather sure i have hardy...it came with a preset background of a heron -.- exact error is, "couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" | 05:14 |
| rich_freecomm | - d= | 05:14 |
| Terrasque | selje: you should have a /etc/hosts with a few entries in. It's the static list of names and the ip they resolve to. The error you get is because the system can't find ubuntulaptop, probably because /etc/hosts is fucked up in some way | 05:14 |
| Flannel | Jaysun: Grab the server CD, you can install from that, or just install the packages from that. | 05:14 |
| kexp903 | can ubuntu handle wide screens? | 05:14 |
| Flannel | kexp903: yes | 05:14 |
| kexp903 | even wide screen lcd's | 05:15 |
| Terrasque | selje: you should have a line in the file that says " | 05:15 |

| ubottu | Terrasque: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 05:15 |
| justm1 | setup net access | 05:15 |
| fde | a7c: Yes... but you have an internet connection on the machine you're using right now... so I can point you to where the .debs are, you can grab them and sneaker net them over... | 05:15 |
| rich_freecomm | Flannel: wasn't aware dump and restore had any other purposes than to backup partitions...ok..I'll re-read | 05:15 |
| Flannel | a7c: try apt-cache search ndiswrapper | 05:15 |
| DIL | kexp903: i am on a 22 and it is sweet how wide | 05:15 |
| Terrasque | selje: something like this : 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntulaptop | 05:15 |
| a7c | fde: i found a .deb file on my own, i'm going to give it a shot | 05:15 |
| selje | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 05:15 |
| selje | 127.0.1.1 ubuntulaptop.SIMPSON | 05:15 |
| selje | this is the entry in hosts | 05:16 |
| tesseracter_ | hello. i'm installing a clean 8.04, just got a alfa 036H wireless card, but my google-fu is a bit off today. anyone got a sweet link to how to install the drivers? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | rich_freecomm: Well, dump and restore might've been arguments to some other program, they're not really specific to a particular domain (although those programs are) | 05:16 |
| selje | but i dont think the problem is there.. i dont get the admin autorisation window to open | 05:17 |
| Terrasque | selje: it might be the .SIMPSON part that throws it off. what's the search entry in /etc/resolv.conf ? | 05:17 |
| selje | SIMPSON is ny network | 05:17 |
| Arrick | how does one flush his dns cache from terminal? | 05:17 |
| rich_freecomm | oh ok..then let me rephrase,...has anyone ever used the shell commands of 'dump' and 'restore'? Does it (b|g)zip? | 05:17 |
| Terrasque | selje: yes, but does the laptop know that? :) | 05:17 |
| runlevel | in the LIVE CD 8.04 it detects my webcam fine but after i installed 8.04 it doesnt detect it.. how do i get the exact copy of the live cd installed so it works? | 05:17 |
| justm1 | runlevel what webcam you got | 05:17 |
| runlevel | justm1, Logitech QuickCam Fusion | 05:17 |
| Terrasque | Flannel: should I use b0rked from now on then? | 05:18 |
| Jaysun | Cheers Flannel, - I don't have the server CD, only the Desktop edition as a personal computer is still it's primary use - I've looked on the CD but have had no luck finding anything.. :$ Mind you, I've found that I'm quite computer-illiterate since trying out linux =P | 05:18 |
| Flannel | Terrasque: sure | 05:18 |
| selje | but i just need to get to the screen where i put in the password for admin autorisation | 05:18 |
| fde | runlevel: plug it in and type 'lsmod | grep gspca' ... any output? | 05:18 |
| runlevel | lsmod | grep gspca returns nothing | 05:18 |
| selje | May 31 06:14:35 ubuntulaptop sudo: selje : unable to resolve host ubuntulaptop | 05:18 |

| === justm1 is now known as PCcertified | ||
| selje | and thats the answer i get from auth.log | 05:19 |
| Flannel | Jaysun: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ server CD can be found there. Once you've got the CD, and put it in to your desktop, sudo apt-cdrom add (or go through software sources) and then you can install those packages easily | 05:19 |
| runlevel | fde, lsmod | grep gspca returns nothing | 05:20 |
| Terrasque | selje: and it clearly tells you it can't resolve the host ubuntulaptop, which is the machine its running on. And that makes sudo panic and refuse anyone to log in. | 05:20 |

| codename | on the other HDD | 05:31 |
| pmartin | because another os that i run doesn't support the ipw3945. anyway, after rebooting wireless works fine, but the drivers it's using, according to NetworkManager is still teh iwl3945 drivers | 05:31 |

| ___Alex___ | ok, this doesn't make sense... cpufreq-selector in gnome doesn't give me options to change CPU frequency (supposedly because it can't support it on my hardware?) but xfce can??? | 05:33 |
| alan_m | van, heres an easier way to get a server close to you, click on software sources under system->administration | 05:33 |
| garrettkajmowicz | How can I get the latest upgrades for my 6.10 system? It looks likle the archives don't work any more. I'm doing this in preparation of updgrading to a new release... | 05:33 |
| alan_m | van, then click the download from box, and click other. | 05:34 |
| pmartin | Yeah, I have the old card right here in front of me, inserted the new card and all that...I even double checked the card itself to make sure I pulled the right one off the shelf | 05:34 |
| fde | chmac: Yup... you're right neither are on a desktop system... but on a server, yes | 05:34 |
| codename | Anyone? | 05:34 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: I am having trouble installing. I keep getting partition failures | 05:34 |
| codename | I have 2 HDD's one of which has Ubuntu on it, and the other one has Vista, if I wanted to remove Vista how would I do it. I wanted to add another Linux distro. | 05:34 |
| alan_m | van, then click select best server, it pings all our servers, and the one who has the best ping time...is the one it selects. | 05:34 |
| chmac | fde: I'd have thought at least exim would make sense on a desktop system, without it I wasn't getting any mails from cron, etc | 05:34 |
| Arrick | afallenhope go ahead and pm | 05:34 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: I even said screw it and tried to install a full install, its not letting me past the partition step | 05:34 |
| pmartin | I'm pretty sure I don't even have madwifi installed on my system right now | 05:34 |
| chmac | fde: Any idea how I'd go about notifying someone to update it, or can I edit it directly somewhere? | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: What errors? | 05:35 |
| SeaPhor | PCcertified, ? why? | 05:35 |
| alan_m | im sorry, i know i threw the enter key all out crazy, if i tried to put that all on one line, it wouldnt have done it. | 05:35 |
| Terrasque | pmartin: Tux moves in mysterious ways? Be happy that the gods of networking have granted you wireless? TBH I have *no* idea what's causing it | 05:35 |
| pmartin | lol | 05:35 |
| fde | chmac: log in and hit "edit" at the top | 05:35 |
| van | o,i known,thanks | 05:35 |
| DIL | codename: just delete the partition | 05:35 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Well first off, I should be using Guided Resize? | 05:35 |
| codename | how? | 05:35 |
| codename | Where do I do that at | 05:35 |
| pmartin | The only thing that worries me is that this might be a serious problem for my other OSes on my computer | 05:35 |
| Arrick | codename fdisk /dev/blah | 05:36 |
| chmac | fde: I don't see any login / edit / etc options on that page | 05:36 |
| alan_m | ah, sory then van :) | 05:36 |
| Arrick | then m for help | 05:36 |
| pmartin | Is it possible that the currently loaded driver is being reported wrong? | 05:36 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: or manual. Manual isn't difficult, and the error could be with the guided portion, so try manual I suppose | 05:36 |
| chmac | fde: Looking at the homepage, it looks like that page is aimed at the "alternate" i386 install | 05:36 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Crap heh, i just got an error, "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5" | 05:36 |
| fde | chmac: You have to log in to the wiki | 05:36 |
| codename | will fdisk work with vista? | 05:36 |
| afallenhope | Arrick: I have | 05:36 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Theres more too it, want it all? | 05:36 |
| DIL | codename: if you know the disk and partition cfdisk, fdisk, qtparted gpartedcan do it | 05:37 |
| Terrasque | pmartin: not dmesg, i think | 05:37 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: sure thing | 05:37 |
| Arrick | afallenhope sorry, didnt realise I had them ignored, lol, can you resend? | 05:37 |
| PCcertified | exit | 05:37 |
| PCcertified | lol | 05:37 |
| LaneLimited | Terrasque: Seems good this amarok, thank you very much | 05:37 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. | 05:37 |
| bpds | Anyone else having trouble with gnome-print not working in Hardy | 05:37 |
| neo_ | How do I reinstalll the task bar? | 05:37 |
| neo_ | the bottom bar that shows open programs | 05:37 |
| Terrasque | LaneLimited: good to hear you like it :) | 05:37 |
| Terrasque | pmartin: tried the card in the other os'es? The only explanation i can think of is that the chipset have enough similarities that the driver works on the new chipset too.. | 05:37 |
| afallenhope | Arrick: sure | 05:38 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Any thoughts as to whats wrong? I already tried to clear Windows (not that i _want_ to, but as a last resort..), so im almost afraid to even reboot.. in fear of a brick. | 05:38 |
| pmartin | Terrasque: Thanks for the help, I'm going to try it in another OS as soon as I get it installed (today is upgrade day for my secondary laptop) | 05:39 |
| chmac | fde: I can't find that documentation page on the wiki anywhere... | 05:40 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: It seems to just be having a bad time trying to override my harddrive.. ugh | 05:40 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: You won't need to clear windows. Whether you did already remains to be seen. Um, try quitting the installer, installing gparted, and then using that to resize/etc | 05:40 |
| Tweaker | Ok I got like a quick question, how do I get it so when I unplug my laptop it dosent beep? Its hard on my ears when Im listening to music! | 05:40 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Qutting the installer into what, windows? | 05:40 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: No, Ubuntu | 05:40 |
| bpds | Anyone else having trouble with gnome-print not working in Hardy | 05:41 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: the LiveCD that you previously thought was a regular install ;) | 05:41 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Oh right, when you said quit the installer i was thinking this LiveCD version heh | 05:41 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: So "gparted", google it? Or will it be in that package manager | 05:41 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: It'll be in the package manager | 05:41 |
| afallenhope | Anyone know the issue with Virtual Terminals? When I hit <CTRL> <ALT> <F 1-6> it sends me to a black screen rather than the virtual terminal. I hit <CTRL> <ALT> <F7> and that does as it's supposed to | 05:42 |

| Tweaker | So....how do I get it so when I unplug/bump the powercord my laptop it dosent beep? | 05:43 |
| afallenhope | Tweaker: it's in the power settings | 05:43 |
| Tweaker | Thank you afallenhope let me check | 05:43 |

| Tweaker | Ok afallenhope: I have it unchecked yet its still beeping | 05:44 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: yes | 05:44 |
| Tweaker | Its under Extras: Use sound to notify of an event right? | 05:44 |

| mixed | i want to install the version of kde prior to 4.0, which app should I install?? | 05:44 |
| Tweaker | afallenhope: its still happening | 05:44 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Seems it was already installed, however i loaded it and got that same kernel error | 05:45 |
| xaandy | is better, oss or alsa? | 05:45 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: "The kernel is unable to re-read the partitiontables on the following devices: | 05:45 |
| Leefmc | - /dev/sda" | 05:45 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Because of this you will only have limited access to these devices. Unmount all mounted partitions on a device to get full access. | 05:45 |
| afallenhope | Tweaker: perhaps the battery is dead | 05:45 |
| jdrake | Is there any way of making a running process use less cpu or disk resources? I have changed the nice value to 19 and it still doesn't help. | 05:45 |

| ricket | xaandy: alsa | 05:46 |
| Tweaker | it just irritates me because it sucks when Im listening to music and its in my lap and I bump the cord and it beeps. | 05:46 |
| bpds | Anyone else having trouble with gnome-print not working in Hardy | 05:46 |
| xaandy | ok | 05:46 |
| DIL | dont bump the cord | 05:46 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Hmm, that sonds like its because your windows partition was mounted. go to a terminal, sudo umount -a, and check if theres anything in /media/ (ls /media/) | 05:46 |
| a7c | any help? | 05:46 |
| Tweaker | Dil: That's kind of hard | 05:46 |
| Tweaker | if I shift it beeps | 05:46 |
| DIL | just kidding | 05:46 |
| Tweaker | Ill try a restart and if that doesn't work I will be back | 05:47 |
| afallenhope | Tweaker: I was going to suggest run a hard drive self test | 05:47 |

| SeaPhor | a7c, are you in the dir where the file bcmwl5.inf is/resides? | 05:48 |

| neo_ | comeone mannn its a easy asnwer | 05:49 |
| sabrebutt | neo_ right click the top panel and add a new one | 05:50 |
| SeaPhor | a7c, once there do ls see if you see the file bcmwl5.inf | 05:50 |
| troxor | neo_: right click on top panel -> Add Panel | 05:50 |
| chuy_max | codename, you can repartition your drive | 05:50 |
| troxor | neo_: er, "New panel" | 05:50 |
| Tweaker | It didn't work :( | 05:50 |
| neo_ | How do I make it | 05:50 |
| neo_ | so that minimized windows can be clicked open there | 05:50 |
| troxor | Tweaker: modprobe -rv pcspkr ? | 05:50 |

| sabrebutt | neo_ right click the new panel | 05:51 |
| Tweaker | troxor: let me try that | 05:51 |

| Tweaker | troxor: ok it says the mod is not promitable | 05:51 |
| swazo | quick Q: can i substitute the cd of ubuntu ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro ) with a bootable thunmbdrive? | 05:52 |
| troxor | Tweaker: sudo modp... | 05:52 |
| mohadib | is it possible to shrink the *giant* pager in XFCE | 05:52 |
| meltingclock | would the jre be on the ubuntu desktop cd by any chance...? i added the cd as a source to check;with no luck but thought maybe it might be listed under a different package name...? (dialup heh, trying to avoid downloading a huge file) | 05:52 |
| Tweaker | whoops lol yea | 05:52 |
| troxor | mohadib: add more rows, or shrink the panel's size | 05:52 |
| mohadib | it has 4 rows | 05:52 |
| mohadib | and the panel is all the way across the screen | 05:52 |
| Tweaker | nope its still happening | 05:52 |
| Flannel | meltingclock: no, it wont | 05:52 |
| meltingclock | alright, thanks. figured that but wanted to double check | 05:53 |
| mohadib | troxor: any other ideas? :( | 05:53 |
| mixed | which default display manger for KDE do you recommend gdm or kdm?? | 05:53 |
| troxor | Tweaker: General tab of Power Management Preferences -> untick "Use sound to notify in event of an error" ? | 05:53 |
| Tweaker | troxor: that is off, so I don't know why it continues | 05:53 |
| troxor | mohadib: hm, iirc, the pager will scale to the height of the panel it's in | 05:53 |
| troxor | Tweaker: what about disabling sounds in Sound Preferences? | 05:54 |
| mohadib | troxor: i dont mind the hight | 05:54 |
| mohadib | troxor: its the width thats huge' | 05:54 |
| Tweaker | troxor: wouldn't that disable music? | 05:54 |
| joetheodd | after closing vmware, my ctrl, capslock, numlock, shift, and alt keys stop working. can anyone help | 05:54 |
| ricket | Tweaker: System > Preferences > Sound > System Beep tab > uncheck Enable system beep | 05:54 |
| troxor | mohadib: then reduce the number of workspaces ;) | 05:54 |
| mohadib | :s | 05:55 |
| troxor | Tweaker: nope, only event sounds, afaik | 05:55 |
| Tweaker | ricket: I think that might of worked | 05:55 |
| Tweaker | ricket: wait Nope | 05:55 |
| swazo | is there anyway i can drag my iso of ubuntu on to the thumbdrive, and be able to boot tto it to insall it? i dont have a blank cd | 05:56 |
| troxor | mohadib: I keep the pager in a small top panel, it doesn't take up too much space. | 05:56 |
| ricket | Tweaker: Can you repeat what and when is beeping? I joined just after you explained | 05:56 |
| troxor | swazo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 05:56 |
| swazo | cheers | 05:56 |
| DIL | iso itself is not bootable | 05:56 |
| Tweaker | Ricket: It beeps when I unplug it or plug it in, this is a problem because it's a loose cord and I bump it a lot when its in my lap. So when I'm listen to music, its quite irritating | 05:57 |
| troxor | Tweaker: what kind of beep, coming from the internal speaker (which modprobe -rv pcspkr would dispatch), or generated like a system sound? | 05:57 |
| Tweaker | troxor: its like just a beep, a speaker beep. Nothing with the system | 05:58 |
| ricket | Tweaker: and you're sure unchecking the system beep didn't work? it seemed to be the solution for this person with a similar problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785950 | 05:58 |
| Tweaker | I can screen cap if you like, but it is disabled | 05:58 |
| troxor | Tweaker: what about all the "System Sounds", changing those no "No sound" ? | 05:59 |
| ricket | Tweaker: Haha, no, I believe you. It's just odd. | 05:59 |
| ricket | troxor: I doubt that will solve it | 05:59 |
| Tweaker | Yes Troxor I have, and alright Ricket, its odd I think... | 05:59 |

| ricket | Tweaker: does this beep happen in other operating systems? could it be a BIOS thing, not an Ubuntu thing? | 05:59 |
| Tweaker | Ricket: it is ubuntu because it never happened on windows...that I know of | 06:00 |
| ethan | Hi all! I was wondering if there was someone around who could learn me on a couple different questions about networking and routers etc..? | 06:00 |

| Tweaker | It is a IBM Thinkpad R52 | 06:00 |
| troxor | swedekid: check if your user is in the vboxusers group. if it isn't, add it, and re-login | 06:01 |
| swedekid | how do i do that? | 06:01 |
| troxor | swedekid: System->Administration->Users and Groups | 06:01 |
| ricket | swedekid: or just run this and reboot: sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a [your username] | 06:02 |
| swedekid | ok | 06:02 |
| Jessica_lilly | i need help i installed ubuntu (gutsy) on a old laptop of mine and i let it update and now im getting the error " failed to allocate mem resource #6:10000@f4000000 fir 0000:01:00.0" and " kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" anyone know how i can fix it | 06:03 |
| swedekid | can i just log out or do i have to reboot? | 06:03 |
| ricket | umm... afaik you have to reboot. i'm not sure. is there much of a time difference, does it really hurt to reboot? :) | 06:03 |
| swedekid | takes forever for this POS computer to reboot but eh got nothing else to do | 06:03 |
| Tweaker | So troxor or ricket, did you find a solution or a link? | 06:03 |
| troxor | ricket: iirc, changing groups only needs a relogin | 06:04 |
| swedekid | yay | 06:04 |
| Tweaker | I don't mind working, if some one gets the ball rollin | 06:04 |
| troxor | Tweaker: `modprobe -rv snd_*` ;) | 06:04 |
| ricket | Tweaker: sorry, no, I'm stumped | 06:04 |
| Tweaker | So modprobe -rv snd_* with the * as well | 06:04 |
| troxor | Tweaker: no, just kidding- that would disable sound completely | 06:04 |
| sco01 | There's a known bug preventing me from browsing samba shares on a win network from nautilus in 8.04. Any workarounds? | 06:04 |

| Tweaker | lol Ok whew | 06:04 |
| troxor | Tweaker: although the * probably wouldn't expand out ;) | 06:04 |
| Tweaker | That's not good troxor | 06:05 |

| ricket | Tweaker: haha, crash course in learning not to run arbitrary commands handed to you over IRC | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | sco01, ive even had issues with the smbfuse tool. :( that samba bug.. is annoying. | 06:05 |
| Tweaker | lol oh yea ricket I've learned big time | 06:05 |
| sco01 | Dr_willis: thanks. The bug is that it doesn't prompt for username/passwd. | 06:06 |

| Tweaker | Gonna kill my computer now Troxor? lol | 06:08 |
| Chubbly | what would the quality of my experience be compared to windows on a celeron M 1.7 Ghz, 256MB machine with 7.10? | 06:08 |

| Chubbly | it runs like a dog in XP | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | sco01, that dont explain why i am having issues with KDE's file manager, and the smbfuse tools - however. | 06:08 |

| mai | what irc client is the best? | 06:12 |
| jussi01 | !best | mai | 06:12 |
| ubottu | mai: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:12 |
| elninja | bizzare... I restarted X, and the problem still occurred... I enabled the "scale cursor" option in the plugin for zooming, and it fixed it. So I disabled it, and I still have no more problems... | 06:12 |

| swedekid | so basically after I install xp in virtualbox its exactly the same as xp except i have ubuntu with me too and don't have to reboot? | 06:13 |
| ether_c | cool, thanks | 06:13 |

| ether_c | Dr_willis: actually, I'm just playing around with an old router I found | 06:13 |
| ether_c | and wondering if I sit in the back room of a class | 06:13 |
| ether_c | with a router | 06:13 |
| ether_c | where wireless internet usually reaches | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | ether_c, thers some internet connect shareing under ubuntu howto. You basicially enable ip-masquerading on the linux box. | 06:13 |
| ether_c | if I could share that using the router | 06:13 |

| swedekid | ok i have another question how would I go about removing a xp partiton on a computer im dual booting xp and ubuntu? | 06:14 |
| troxor | Tweaker: what if you remove that one | 06:14 |
| Tweaker | troxor: Possibly? | 06:14 |
| mak2 | hey, i seem to be having trouble with a sata drive. i am able to log in maybe 5 percent of time | 06:14 |
| Tweaker | troxor: I really have no clue, I have never really got into messing with the insides | 06:14 |
| elninja | swedekid, any software you run in your virtualized XP setup won't have direct access to the video hardware either. So, you may notget the best performance in graphic intensive games, but other than that, yes. | 06:15 |
| DIL | cwgannon: sd=scsi disk, a the order of the disks, 1=partitions | 06:15 |
| meltingclock | swedekid: i would assume you would boot up from the winxp cd , go to install xp which will allow you to format the select xp partition, then you can get out of the boot cd once its finished | 06:15 |
| Kalamarencu | RoAkSoAx: it worked with the free vncviewer... | 06:16 |
| Tweaker | troxor: That looks like what I would need to remove, but I also need the function buttons : http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/ | 06:16 |
| swedekid | well thing is i don't have the media center disc just the xp disc which is a different version of xp | 06:16 |
| troxor | ether_c: I don't know if there's a graphical way to do it, but you'll need iptables MASQUERADE and something in /proc/sys/net/ip_forward or somesuch | 06:16 |
| swedekid | could i delete it with gnome partition editor? | 06:16 |
| meltingclock | swededisk: it should still allow you to partition/format inside of the cd ? | 06:16 |
| troxor | Tweaker: hm, in that case, yeah- probably not a good idea | 06:17 |
| ricket | With the Window List, I enabled Window Previews in compiz but the previews collide with the default mouseover thing (alt text?) - how can I disable that text so that only compiz's preview is shown? | 06:17 |
| DIL | cwgannon: sd=scsi disk hd=ide, a,b,c... the order of the disks, 1,2,3=partitions | 06:17 |
| ether_c | troxor: if I do that, will it go back to normal after I reboot the box? | 06:17 |
| elninja | swedekid, to remove an XP partition you just use any software for editing your partition table. gparted, fdisk, etc. | 06:17 |
| Tweaker | troxor: I guess Im stuck with the damned beep then...Unless there is a way to tweak the acpi | 06:17 |
| swedekid | ok | 06:17 |
| swedekid | thanks | 06:17 |
| troxor | ether_c: probably, yes- lemme find a good howto.. one sec | 06:17 |
| troxor | Tweaker: yep, if there's even hardware that's generating the beep- I really don't know, especially since I can't hear it ;) | 06:18 |
| Tweaker | Troxor: Well thanks for your help, it atleast helped me solve what the problem was. I'll see if one of my tech buddies can find a way around it. | 06:19 |
| Tweaker | Peace ubuntu | 06:19 |
| mai | I think the beep is great | 06:19 |
| swedekid | what the... just restarted the virtual computer and its trying to get me to do the first part of installing xp again... | 06:19 |
| troxor | ether_c: you can add the commands mentioned here to /etc/rc.local https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-May/114644.html | 06:19 |
| ethan | yo, im tryin to unmount an ISO from my desktop, cant do it with the GUI, cant do it with umount! | 06:20 |
| ethan | what the | 06:20 |
| ether_c | troxor: thanks, I'll check it out | 06:21 |
| troxor | ethan: sudo umount /mnt/point ? | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | ethan, be sure all apps accessing the cd are closed | 06:21 |
| mai | kill processors | 06:21 |
| ethan | yeah | 06:21 |
| ethan | troxor: its a rosetta stone ISO | 06:21 |
| ethan | troxor: sec ill give you the output | 06:22 |
| troxor | ethan: you can use fuser to find the processes, if any, that are using open files: http://www.tech-recipes.com/solaris_system_administration_tips1106.html | 06:22 |
| swedekid | ah got it had to unmount the cd | 06:22 |

| ethan | troxor : ethan@opimusprime:~$ sudo umount /Desktop/"Rosetta Stone Application v2.0.8.1 [h33t PC CD IMAGE]" | 06:24 |
| ethan | umount: /Desktop/Rosetta Stone Application v2.0.8.1 [h33t PC CD IMAGE]: not found | 06:24 |
| ricket | swedekid: yes but you have to enable it (pick ALSA :) ) | 06:24 |
| eugman | Is it possible to install a program that was available in the gusty repos but not the ahrdy ones? | 06:25 |
| meltingclock | ricket: switching from firefox in xp to firefox in ubuntu freaked me out. the options/preferences arent in the same tabs lol | 06:25 |
| ethan | firefox 3 kinda sucks | 06:25 |
| ricket | meltingclock: yea i kno, i've never understood that either... | 06:25 |
| lyzium | im running 8.04 64bit with seperate home folder, am i able to install i386 and keep all my settings or bad idea? | 06:25 |
| ricket | ethan: hmm? how so? it's so much FASTER! | 06:25 |
| bazhang | eugman, xmms? | 06:25 |
| swedekid | yee.... i hav eno idea what you mean by pick alsa <--- nooblet at computers | 06:25 |
| usser | lyzium, yea sure u can do that | 06:25 |
| ricket | ethan: although if you're talking about beta 5... i didn't like beta 5, it crashed more than beta 4. i use rc1 now and no more crashing :) | 06:25 |
| eugman | bazhang, actually no. It's an obscure program called supercollider | 06:26 |
| ethan | ricket: maybe my box is doing something to it, but it seems a little like glitchy | 06:26 |
| troxor | ethan: /Desktop probably doesn't exist- check `cat /proc/mounts`, then use tab completion instead of the quotes | 06:26 |
| lyzium | usser, thanks for verifying :) | 06:26 |
| ethan | sometimes itll freeze on me | 06:26 |
| vincenzofehring | how do i login as the root into the ubuntu 8 gui? | 06:26 |
| ethan | or kind of flash almost | 06:26 |
| ricket | swedekid: when you find the sound options, which aren't hard to find, change from disabled to alsa (not oss). you'll see when you get there | 06:26 |
| ethan | troxor:ok | 06:26 |
| troxor | !root | 06:26 |
| 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 | 06:26 |
| theFATMAN | for some reason when i am in firefox (3 beta 5) and i clode a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it? | 06:26 |
| tmapj | can someone tell me how to unlock the keyrings automatically? | 06:26 |
| ethan | troxor: using ls in the terminal shows /Desktop? | 06:26 |
| ricket | ethan: i've had a few small incidents where it did kinda freeze.... and just now when i was configuing compiz it had a weird graphics glitch that required minimize and then restore... but for the most part it's awesome | 06:26 |
| troxor | vincenzofehring: if you insist, `sudo -i` | 06:26 |
| vincenzofehring | sudo -i? | 06:27 |
| ethan | ricket: yeah other than that i do like it | 06:27 |
| vincenzofehring | that will allow me to do things as a root? | 06:27 |
| ricket | vincenzofehring: sudo allows you to do things as root too... | 06:27 |
| afabian | I've still got firefox beta 5 on Hardy. Anyone know how long it'll be till some release candidate or something propagates through? beta 5 is plenty stable for me, but I had a rendering problem on a site I frequent. | 06:28 |
| troxor | ethan: find the real mountpoint with `cat /proc/mounts`, then do sudo umount the full path you find | 06:28 |
| tmapj | can anyone tell me how to unlock the keyrings automatically? | 06:28 |
| troxor | tmapj: there's a pam keyring package that should be installed automatically on hardy (and gutsy too?) | 06:28 |
| usser | afabian, enable hardy-proposed updates rc1 is already there | 06:28 |
| eugman | So does anyone know how I can access a gusty packages? Would adding the gutsy repos break anything? | 06:28 |
| dxh4436 | hello everyone... quick question... just installed ubuntu for the first time... i cant figure out how to get wireless internet working... any help would be great... im sure its something easy | 06:29 |
| === MidgetARG is now known as MidgetSpy | ||
| tmapj | whats the name of the pam keyring package | 06:29 |
| troxor | tmapj: libpam-keyring, iirc | 06:29 |
| ricket | dxh4436: in the top-right corner, left-click the picture of two computers. if you see a list of wireless networks, you're golden; if not.. it's much harder to get your card working | 06:29 |
| troxor | tmapj: it only works if your keyring password is the same as your login password | 06:29 |
| dxh4436 | yeah theres no list :( | 06:29 |
| theFATMAN | for some reason when i am in firefox (3 beta 5) and i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it? | 06:30 |
| bazhang | eugman, you seen this-->http://www.nabble.com/SuperCollider-packages-for-the-upcoming-Ubuntu-release-td16322208.html | 06:30 |
| ricket | dxh4436: i recommend searching google for something like "ubuntu [your card]" (no quotes) | 06:30 |
| ricket | dxh4436: you will probably have to use ndiswrapper like I do; try to find a tutorial of someone else who has already gotten their same-model card working | 06:30 |
| bazhang | dxh4436, open a terminal and type ifconfig-->are there three entries or two | 06:30 |
| dxh4436 | alright, thanks... thought maybe there was something else i was missing... the hardware tester had the name of my card correct | 06:30 |
| KalEl | hi i created a new partition, but how do i add it to the fstab? what is the UUID? | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | !uuid | KalEl | 06:31 |
| ubottu | KalEl: 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) | 06:31 |
| ethan | troxor: I just got a giant output here | 06:31 |
| dxh4436 | let me check that ipconfig, one sec | 06:31 |
| eugman | bazhang, I have not. Until recently I thought itwas mac only anyway | 06:31 |
| bazhang | dxh4436, if not ip | 06:31 |
| ethan | troxor: ill try rooting around in the terminal, will report back | 06:31 |

| theFATMAN | for some reason when i am in firefox (3 beta 5) and i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it? | 06:32 |
| bazhang | dxh4436, iF not iP | 06:32 |
| amenado | dxh4436-> this is not windows | 06:32 |
| Dr_willis | dxh4436, i think its ipconfig in windows, and ifconfig in linux :) | 06:32 |
| tmapj | troxor i couldn't find anything in synaptic under libpam | 06:32 |
| KalEl | thanks... is there any automatic way to create an entry for my new partition in fstab? | 06:32 |
| dxh4436 | haha ok lets try again | 06:32 |
| troxor | tmapj: oops, sorry- it's libpam-gnome-keyring | 06:32 |
| dxh4436 | only 2 entries | 06:32 |
| ricket | theFATMAN: try running firefox in safe mode, it is probably due to an extension or plugin | 06:32 |
| eugman | bazhang, sweet it works. Thanks | 06:32 |
| bazhang | dxh4436, please pastebin output of lspci to paste.ubuntu.com | 06:33 |
| amenado | KalEl-> you have to do it manually | 06:33 |
| bazhang | eugman nice :) | 06:33 |
| tmapj | troxor, i already have it installed | 06:33 |

| troxor | tmapj: is the keyring password the same as your login password? | 06:34 |
| ethan | troxor: does this look like it would be a rosetta stone CD? i think it does | 06:34 |
| tmapj | yes | 06:34 |
| ethan | troxor: /dev/loop1 /home/ethan/Desktop/untitled\040folder iso9660 ro,relatime 0 0 | 06:34 |
| theFATMAN | ricket: you think that would cause it to reboot? that cant be right, there is no plugin or ext that has access to my OS, not on my system | 06:34 |
| ___Alex___ | can anyone recommend whether I should use cpufreqd, cpudyn or the default powernowd for the best frequency handling on a Pentium-M processor? Dothan? | 06:34 |
| troxor | ethan: quite possibly, yes :) | 06:34 |
| troxor | ethan: sudo umount /home/ethan/Desktop/untitl<tab> | 06:34 |
| dxh4436 | so i just put my name in the "poster" text field? | 06:34 |
| ricket | theFATMAN: i dunno lol. that would be my first step tho... i can't begin to guess why it would reboot, other than some sort of corruption or driver incompatibility or something | 06:35 |
| tmapj | troxor, yes the passwords are the same | 06:35 |
| troxor | tmapj: hm, do you use automatic login with GDM ? | 06:35 |
| tmapj | yes | 06:35 |
| theFATMAN | ricket: yeah its driving me nuts, i cant find anything on google about it | 06:35 |
| ethan | troxor: youre a dream! worked like a charm | 06:35 |
| troxor | tmapj: then try making your keyring password blank | 06:36 |
| ethan | troxor: guess i just had the filename wrong | 06:36 |
| troxor | ethan: awesome | 06:36 |
| tmapj | how do i reset it? | 06:36 |

| moonyloony | flannel: i had unninstalled the compiz because it didn't worked... | 06:49 |
| ricree | the man page seemed to suggest that -o user would work, but I got an error with "sudo mount -o user=myusername /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mountpoint/" | 06:50 |

| gregbrady | So, there is not one decent alternative to Microsoft Access out there in the Linux world? | 06:53 |
| Lo_Pan | nothing like access could be described a "decent alternative" | 06:53 |
| swedekid | ok, im using gparted and i have 60 gigs of unallocated space how do i put that space in my ubuntu partition? | 06:53 |
| Lo_Pan | the nature of access and ms jet makes sure of that | 06:54 |

| max_ | I have a problem | 06:55 |
| AdemoS | Ubuntu Hardy - Random Freezing: I was thinking of using Hardy with Gusty's kernel, until the freezing issues were fixed (maybe in Ibex) but, I'm worried that the older kernel will cause conflicts with newer software. Will it? | 06:55 |
| troxor | swedekid: depending on where on the disk the (now deleted) xp partition was, you might run into some issues, but you can use something like gparted live cd to expand/move your partition | 06:55 |
| Lo_Pan | gregbrady: postgresql/mysql would be what i would use in place of access | 06:55 |
| swedekid | k where can i get that? | 06:55 |
| gregbrady | Lo_Pan: Yes, but to archaic of an interface. I want a speedy gui interface. | 06:55 |
| Gluteus | Will gparted work in a raid context? | 06:56 |
| troxor | swedekid: gparted.sourceforge.net | 06:56 |
| swedekid | thanks | 06:56 |

| swedekid | is there any way i can use the livecd wihtout burning it to a cd? i don't have any blank cds | 06:57 |

| gregbrady | troxor: Yeah, worse than Open Office | 06:57 |
| diefordethklok | wubi swedekid? | 06:57 |
| swedekid | wubi? is that an iso mounter for ubuntu or something? | 06:58 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: Thanks for the help btw. Your technique fixed up all of my machines | 06:58 |
| troxor | swedekid: you can put it on a usb stick, if your machine supports booting from usb | 06:58 |
| AdemoS | swedekid, you could run from a USB Flash Disk instead http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 06:58 |
| AdemoS | troxor, you win :P | 06:58 |
| legend2440 | gregbrady: thats good yw | 06:58 |
| troxor | AdemoS: gg ;) | 06:58 |
| diefordethklok | Serdekid: No, wubi is an ubuntu install that you can get rid of by removing through windows using add/remove | 06:59 |
| swedekid | oh wait i got a blank dvd right here yay | 06:59 |
| theFATMAN | for some reason when i am in firefox, i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it? | 06:59 |
| AdemoS | troxor, any idea about my question? | 06:59 |
| troxor | theFATMAN: is this reproduceable? | 06:59 |
| theFATMAN | troxor: can u clarify? | 06:59 |
| diefordethklok | Can you repeat this theFATMAN | 06:59 |
| troxor | AdemoS: I believe you can use older kernels with no (or very few problems) | 06:59 |
| theFATMAN | troxor: it just randomly happens | 07:00 |
| AdemoS | troxor, what problems (if any) do you think I should I be aware of? | 07:00 |
| troxor | theFATMAN: are you using compositing or compiz-fusion ? | 07:00 |
| swedekid | huh anyone know whta time it is central us time? | 07:00 |
| diefordethklok | !microphone | 07:00 |

| swedekid | ah | 07:00 |
| theFATMAN | troxor: yes, and have for awhile now with no problems | 07:00 |
| swedekid | though my clock was off i got 9 pm >.< | 07:00 |
| diefordethklok | !mic | 07:01 |
| ubottu | Factoid mic not found | 07:01 |
| troxor | AdemoS: some things that compile against kernel headers, such as restricted-drivers, and their kin, might be a little off | 07:01 |
| diefordethklok | !helpme | 07:01 |
| ubottu | Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 07:01 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: I'm just a little surprised that there is not a better developed, more mature database program in Linux. | 07:01 |
| troxor | AdemoS: though I'm not sure- it's worth a try, since you can have multiple kernel versions installed simultaneously | 07:01 |
| AdemoS | swedekid, google is your friend :P http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/central-time/ | 07:01 |

| swedekid | and its just so much easier to ask one of yall haha | 07:02 |
| legend2440 | gregbrady: i've never tried any of them. openoffice base is no good? | 07:02 |
| AdemoS | troxor, hmm, I was hoping for stability + new software combatibility, seems like both may be at risk with my idea :C | 07:02 |
| vecciora | My clock was error. I've edited /etc/default/rcS to utc=no. | 07:02 |
| `KoRn | is there a channel for dvd buring here in ubuntu? | 07:02 |
| vecciora | So what should I do? | 07:02 |
| gregbrady | legend2440: No, not that great. Very buggy. Crashes a lot and not all that powerful. | 07:02 |
| AdemoS | swedekid, oh then it's 1:02 a.m. | 07:03 |
| troxor | theFATMAN: try turning off the fancy desktop effects, since you have restricted drivers, and then stress out firefox and see if you can get it to crash | 07:03 |
| swedekid | huh is there any way to like drag or drop files or something between virtual box runnin xp and linux? | 07:03 |
| troxor | AdemoS: you might also looking into backporting or recompiling an older kernel, though that too might be more trouble than it's worth | 07:04 |
| gregbrady | Can one run Access via Wine over a ssh session? | 07:04 |
| theFATMAN | troxor: i should add that i installed kubuntu-desktop yesterday, could that be to blame? | 07:04 |
| AdemoS | troxor, nods. I may just enable hardy repos, but I was worried about dependencies :x | 07:04 |
| troxor | theFATMAN: probably not, having more stuff installed and not running isn't going to make much difference | 07:04 |
| troxor | AdemoS: kernel shouldn't have many of those ;) | 07:04 |
| PCcertified | silly question here, aparently my console does not accept standard bash commands like CD | 07:05 |
| theFATMAN | troxor: huh...ok i'll try your suggestion, but its so random, its hard to initiate | 07:05 |

| swedekid | ....wtf.... im downloading a file at 900 bytes per second.... | 07:05 |
| swedekid | 182 days... | 07:05 |
| PCcertified | where can I find help on the acceptable commands for the shell so I cn do something useful | 07:05 |
| AdemoS | troxor, I guess if I was stability, I have to wait for Ibex? Or do you think Ubuntu devs will ever figure out a patch to all the random freezing present in Hardy? Cause it's so frusturating to go from rock-solid gutsy to unpredictable-hardy....ironicly the LTS release | 07:05 |
| AdemoS | *want | 07:05 |
| vecciora | Someone can explain to me what is "wtf"? | 07:06 |
| Dr_willis | !find wtf | 07:06 |
| ubottu | File wtf found in bsdgames, gcc-snapshot, gnat-4.1, gnat-4.2 | 07:06 |
| PCcertified | what is the default shell in ubuntu 8.04 | 07:06 |
| AdemoS | vecciora, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wtf | 07:06 |
| Dr_willis | PCcertified, for users bash, dash is the default system shell. | 07:06 |
| RudyValencia | Hm, I wonder how much Web page traffic my server would be able to stand up to. My server is a Celeron 2.4GHz with 1GB RAM, 200GB HD, DVD(+/-)RW, running Ubuntu server version 8.04. | 07:06 |
| swedekid | wtf = what the frick except its not frick | 07:06 |
| vecciora | Thanks AdemoS | 07:06 |
| swedekid | not much i'd gather rudy | 07:06 |
| troxor | AdemoS: yeah, hardy will be given attention longer than gutsy will, so you might have better luck | 07:07 |
| kari | how to install screansaver plugin in compiz fusion | 07:07 |
| RudyValencia | Oh? | 07:07 |
| troxor | AdemoS: er, better luck staying with gutsy until support runs out | 07:07 |
| drcheezenstein | can anyone help me out with this problem? | 07:07 |
| RudyValencia | It'd fall to its knees pretty quickly I bet | 07:07 |

| drcheezenstein | it wont connect but every other computer in the house does! | 07:07 |
| swedekid | well of course i dont know much about servers that arn't counter strike servers butif youwanting a counter strike server it would fall to its knees | 07:07 |
| AdemoS | troxor, yeah I guess I will. It's just a damn shame, I'm always advertising Ubuntu's stability to friends...then I get hardy and *boom!* I guess I'll have to wait it out | 07:07 |

| clayd | Package php5-json is a virtual package provided by: | 07:11 |

| Tweaker | Why can't I get bitchx to install, it says it can't fine Gmake | 07:16 |
| bigmcq77 | me | 07:16 |

| bigmcq77 | your the bitch | 07:16 |
| bigmcq77 | x | 07:16 |

| AdemoS | troxor, that could be true, though most of the bug reports are close but not quite my issue, but bug reports in general are a good place to get an idea, thanks a lot | 07:17 |
| PCcertified | ah I see, maks sense | 07:17 |
| troxor | AdemoS: no problemo- be glad that the ubuntu bug community is active and very good ;) | 07:17 |
| Tweaker | Anyone no why this is? | 07:17 |
| alan_m | dr_willis, thanks, you helped me find a page i was looking for ;D | 07:17 |
| AdemoS | troxor, heh indeed | 07:17 |
| PCcertified | Dr_willis: thanks | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | alan_m, :) i got my Del.ic.ious stuff all tagged | 07:18 |
| PCcertified | does anyone here use pidgin / | 07:18 |
| Tweaker | PCcertified: Yes | 07:18 |
| Tweaker | Im using it now | 07:18 |
| troxor | Tweaker: install build-essential for gnu make, though why bitchX wants that is curious.. | 07:18 |
| moDumass | hey all, i cant get ktorrent to open torrenta | 07:18 |
| Tweaker | troxor: it asks for it on the site | 07:19 |
| Tweaker | http://www.bitchx.com/faq.php | 07:19 |
| moDumass | even if i save the .torrent file to my desktop and select "open with ktorrent" ktorrent is open but the torrent file does not feature | 07:19 |
| Tweaker | The install instructions are pretty much straight forward, and when it asks for gmake it dosent explain why | 07:19 |
| troxor | Tweaker: ah, no ubuntu package immediately available | 07:19 |
| PCcertified | Tweaker: when I log on to freenode it fails to enter my password and connects me as justM1, do you know a work around? | 07:19 |
| troxor | Tweaker: it probably wants you to compile from source.. which obviously needs make ;) | 07:19 |
| Tweaker | Yes, you must edit the IRC properties | 07:19 |
| docgnome | is there a way I can tell if a user is logged in via ssh? | 07:20 |
| Tweaker | Troxor: yes Im compiling it | 07:20 |
| loluser | can you not convert wav songs on a cd to mp3 format onto your pc with Ubuntu or something? | 07:20 |
| Tweaker | :~/BitchX$ gmake .... bash: gmake: command not found | 07:20 |
| troxor | Tweaker: try `make` | 07:20 |
| Tweaker | PCcertified: you need to go to accounts then edit the IRC | 07:20 |
| Tweaker | and then enter the password | 07:20 |
| Tweaker | ok | 07:21 |
| troxor | loluser: lame (CLI, but it's pretty good) will do it | 07:21 |
| Tweaker | ~/BitchX$ make /usr/local/bin/bash ./configure make: /usr/local/bin/bash: Command not found make: *** [default] Error 127 | 07:21 |
| mooGirl | Tweaker, NFC, man | 07:21 |
| alan_m | loluser, you can, you need the mp3 codec's and oggconvert | 07:21 |
| AdemoS | thanks for the help all, later | 07:22 |
| Tweaker | Moogirl: NFC? | 07:22 |
| PCcertified | Tweaker: I think i figured out what I did wrong, thanks | 07:22 |
| Tweaker | PCcertified: No problem buddy | 07:22 |
| Tweaker | Also check out the other misc plugins | 07:22 |
| loluser | wtf is a "stdin/stdout" | 07:22 |
| hanasaki | as mail goes through smtp servers are new headers added at the top or bottom of the smtp header ... ? | 07:22 |
| Tweaker | A lot of random IRC pluggins, and it helps with auto rejoin etc | 07:22 |
| loluser | sigh all i want is to rip these songs | 07:22 |
| PCcertified | this channel is so much friendlier than debian | 07:23 |
| troxor | PCcertified: that's an understatement ;) | 07:23 |
| tenfar | loluser:there is a script | 07:23 |
| PCcertified | :-D | 07:23 |
| alan_m | guys, lets try not to use the wt* acronyms :) | 07:23 |
| Tweaker | So troxor: that didn't seem to help I got errors | 07:23 |
| ridge-meister | How can I recover files that were moved to the trash (I don't see them in there) when I removed the "albums" from Digi-Kam? | 07:23 |
| SwedeMike | hanasaki: stdin/out is what programs send their input/output to when they're run, usually your shell | 07:23 |
| tenfar | loluser:that me find it for you | 07:23 |
| loluser | its ok, i think i got this program figured, thanks | 07:24 |
| ridge-meister | I thought removing the albums from Digi-Kam would just let me clean up all the stuff listed in Digi-Kam. | 07:24 |
| SwedeMike | sorry, loluser | 07:24 |
| troxor | Tweaker: what kind? standard library/header file not found type stuff? | 07:24 |
| ridge-meister | For whatever reason there is stuff in the .Trash folder on my desktop, just not anything that was deleted by Digi-Kam :( | 07:24 |
| Tweaker | troxor: Its a uhm... "make: /usr/local/bin/bash: Command not found make: *** [default] Error 127" | 07:24 |
| hanasaki | SwedeMike: thankyou but I mean when i read the text of my email.. like with view source in thunderbird | 07:24 |
| loluser | SwedeMike ya but that means about 1/5th of fark all to me man, im just trying to rip some songs from my cd lol | 07:24 |
| tenfar | loluser, you have found it? | 07:25 |
| loluser | yup i got lame sorted i think | 07:25 |
| SwedeMike | hanasaki: my text was for loluser really, | 07:25 |
| hanasaki | oh | 07:25 |
| tenfar | well,ok ,have fun | 07:25 |
| troxor | Tweaker: the hacky way to do it is to just symlink /usr/bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash, but that's probably not a good thing- | 07:25 |
| LaneLimited | Hello all! Might someone tell me how to change my password for my username inside Gnome?? Thank you! | 07:26 |
| SwedeMike | loluser: if you do "cat file | more" cat is sending the file to stdout, pipe means send that to stdin of the next command, which is "more", which displays the text but does page pauses | 07:26 |
| troxor | Tweaker: and you might have other issues down the line- any reason you wanted to use BitchX? | 07:26 |
| hanasaki | ok so when i view the complete email msg do the servers add header info at the top or bottom of the header section? | 07:26 |
| loluser | erm can i rip cd's like that? | 07:26 |
| Tweaker | Yes, because pidgin seems clunky and Id like to run to different IRC chats | 07:26 |
| Tweaker | not the same server... | 07:26 |
| Tweaker | like freenode and another one. | 07:26 |
| hanasaki | in gaim how can I turn off the notification everytime someone sends an irc msg to a channel? | 07:27 |
| Dr_willis | Tweaker, i hate pidgin for irc. :) other clients are much better... if you want a console irc client . try irssi yet? | 07:27 |
| SwedeMike | loluser: I don't know, you most likely need a program to extract the audio files and then send those to an encoding program. | 07:27 |
| loluser | how do i move to where the CD is in a command line box? | 07:27 |
| ridge-meister | Is there another Ubuntu channel here for beginners? | 07:27 |
| Tweaker | No I have yet to try Irssi | 07:27 |
| Tweaker | is it any good? | 07:27 |
| SwedeMike | irssi is the best. | 07:27 |
| Dr_willis | Tweaker, give up on BitchX now then.. and go get irssi. or xchat | 07:27 |

| Tweaker | thank you | 07:27 |
| troxor | Tweaker: irssi is certainly superior ;) | 07:27 |
| Tweaker | If its better then I shall use that | 07:28 |
| Dr_willis | a sharp stick in the eye is better then Pidgin for IRC :) | 07:28 |
| Tweaker | Well it is installing, lets see how this goes | 07:28 |
| loluser | how do i find out where the CD is in the command line box? idk wtf im doing with this cli stuff | 07:28 |
| Tweaker | I really would love a sleek IRC program | 07:28 |
| ridge-meister | wow, this channel sure isn't as friendly as it used to be. Guess the elites from Debian moved in :D | 07:29 |
| ajitam | hi if the iwconfig is for wireless witch cmd is for eth ? | 07:29 |
| SwedeMike | ajitam: ifconfig | 07:29 |
| SwedeMike | ajitam: depending on what you want to do | 07:29 |
| SwedeMike | ajitam: otherwise ethtool might be it | 07:29 |
| Tweaker | Ok guys I installed irssi and I can't seem to find it in my start menu | 07:29 |
| SwedeMike | Tweaker: bring up a shell, type "irssi" in it | 07:30 |
| Tweaker | ok | 07:30 |
| usser | ajitam, ifconfig | 07:30 |
| Tweaker | bad ass! | 07:30 |
| Dr_willis | Tweaker, time to hit irssi.org and read some of its docs... soon. :) | 07:30 |
| Tweaker | Is it easy to use? I'd like a simple IRC program | 07:30 |
| legend2440 | loluser: install package grip its a GUI ripper . much easier than command line | 07:30 |
| ajitam | SwedeMike: my local network is very slow (1-2Mb) I want to set biget rate | 07:30 |
| theLichKing | how do i bind keystrokes to launch a program? | 07:30 |
| loluser | legend2440 i tried grip, only problem, it thinks wav's are mp3's lmao | 07:31 |
| xocite | loluser: Yes, that's how you use it. | 07:31 |
| neo_ | Anyone know how to fix Window tearing... I have a problem with Verticle Sync on mY Nvidia card | 07:31 |
| loluser | i told it to rip the songs from the CD into mp3's to my computer | 07:31 |
| xocite | loluser: Actually | 07:31 |
| loluser | and then it turned them all into wav's lolz | 07:31 |
| xocite | loluser: you don't need to include path to cd | 07:31 |
| SwedeMike | ajitam: ethtool will let you set 10 or 100 megabit/s and duplex, but not more | 07:31 |
| ajitam | SwedeMike: every time I restart comp. my wireless drops to 1Mb and I have to set it to 54. I'm guesing it's the same with eth | 07:32 |
| SwedeMike | ajitam: no, there is no such concept with ethernet, but ethtool lets you check what speed it's at | 07:32 |

| moDumass | magnetron, transmission isnt an option i can choose from | 07:49 |

| moDumass | so im just checkin if i have to install transmission through synaptic | 07:49 |
| Carenthalas | zcat1: What is 'envy' packages, how? | 07:49 |
| PCcertified | Carenthalas: the only issues I had was setting up compiz fusion effects but I found a nice webpage that explained how and it works 100% | 07:50 |

| graxaim | gee, it's so cold here | 07:50 |
| moDumass | magnetron, you mean properties? | 07:50 |
| zcat[1] | Carenthalas: open synaptic and search for 'nvidia envy' and you should see some packages nvidia-glx-envy-new (something like that) will be the one you want I think, hopefully that will work. If not, I'm all out of suggestions :) | 07:50 |
| Carenthalas | PCcertified: I don't care about Compiz, just want to set up 1024x768 for a 10-year-old kids for learning. | 07:51 |

| graxaim | I've got a Trident Blade 3D gfx card with 8mb vram | 07:52 |
| zcat[1] | Carenthalas: because if it was accelerated you probably only need run nvidia-settings (alt-F2 'gksu nvidia-settings') and set the right mode there | 07:52 |
| graxaim | on this old pc | 07:52 |
| Carenthalas | zcat[1]: At 640x480, it was accelerated and can do 3d effect. | 07:52 |
| graxaim | I wish I could make it run accelerated... this Xorg runs so fucking crappy on it... | 07:52 |
| zcat[1] | Carenthalas: ok, cool.. probably just change it in nvidia-settings then and write the new setting to xorg.conf | 07:53 |
| moDumass | thanks magnetron, i really appreciate your sarcasm, its awesome | 07:53 |

| Dr_willis | komputeran, well Im in the #ubuntu room and not #freespire.. :) so take a guess.. | 08:04 |
| zcat[1] | If it's a branch of linzpire/lindows .. possibly not | 08:04 |

| Dr_willis | Theres getting to be so many ubuntu variants that justs do trivial changes.. | 08:07 |

| Flannel | moDumass: sudo chown modumass:modumass ~/.ICEauthority | 08:07 |
| moDumass | flannel, thanks | 08:07 |

| gmenelau | soundray yes | 08:56 |
| koheleth | rathel, ah ok, thanks | 08:56 |
| Lifeisfunny | gmenelau, fsck is the file system checking that can happen during booting .... prior to the appearance of the log window | 08:56 |
| amirman84 | is there a reason that openoffice.org and openoffice.org-base aren't installed on ubuntu? should they be? when i try sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal it says a bunch of openoffice.org packages are being held back, anyone know what could be wrong? | 08:56 |

| soundray | gmenelau: it shouldn't take a long time -- are you shutting down properly? | 08:57 |
| rathel | koheleth, You should have to reboot, just close 1 program completely and then launch the other one, It's really annoying. :( | 08:57 |

| klathzaz2 | uhh.. where is inittab? | 08:58 |
| Lifeisfunny | gmenelau, I'm not sure of the command for that, it's something simple, like editiing a file to replace the number of boots before it occurs again | 08:58 |

| Lifeisfunny | amirman84, if you're doing office things yeah, no they're not default I don't think | 09:00 |
| soundray | amirman84: they are reverse-dependent on ubuntu-desktop, so yes | 09:00 |

| Tankado | anyone familiar with problems with ddd and ubuntu? because i try to use the menus of ddd and i cant press some buttons | 09:29 |
| bazhang | !ask | sekator | 09:29 |
| ubottu | sekator: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 09:29 |
| grndslm | Tankado... you should try using insight, i remember it to be better than ddd | 09:29 |
| guyzmo | is it possible to downgrade back to 7.10 ? | 09:30 |
| bazhang | complete reinstall guyzmo | 09:30 |
| guyzmo | :-S | 09:30 |
| grndslm | Tankado: http://sourceware.org/insight/ | 09:30 |
| Tankado | thanks | 09:30 |
| guyzmo | I should never have installed 8.04 | 09:30 |
| gordonjcp | ubottu: in theory, yes | 09:30 |
| ubottu | Factoid in theory, yes not found | 09:30 |
| gordonjcp | oops | 09:30 |
| gordonjcp | guyzmo: in theory, yes | 09:30 |
| guyzmo | gordonjcp - what you mean ? | 09:31 |
| cherva | bazhang: apt-get upgrade made the upgrades. I can't figure out why the gui program didn't manage to do it | 09:31 |
| gordonjcp | guyzmo: I've done it, but frankly it's not worth the hassle | 09:31 |
| bazhang | The-Compiler, what about trying alsa or other sound then | 09:31 |
| gordonjcp | guyzmo: well, you can edit sources.list to replace "hardy" with "gutsy", do an update and a dist-upgrade and then you should have gutsy packages | 09:31 |
| The-Compiler | bazhang, well, I don't need ESD, I only need to rid of this error | 09:31 |
| gordonjcp | guyzmo: however, for various reasons this doesn't work properly | 09:32 |
| The-Compiler | *to get rid | 09:32 |
| bazhang | The-Compiler, then try it | 09:32 |
| The-Compiler | bazhang, esd is not even running | 09:32 |
| guyzmo | I'm gonna have to open a bug report then | 09:32 |

| gordonjcp | guyzmo: ok, reboot with only that plugged into the USB port | 09:41 |
| The-Compiler | gmenelau, when I know what you are doing, then yes :) | 09:41 |

Problem = When I run ubuntu I get a command line interface, and I want to know how to install ubuntu :s | 10:14 |
| Rishie | Hello | 10:14 |
| babolat | IN-lindzee: that package is also available at http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 | 10:14 |
| User123 | There is no gui for installing ubuntu as far as i can see | 10:14 |

| IN-lindzee | i can wget and dpkg that? | 10:14 |
| The_ManU_212 | why isnt terhe any 3d support udner hardy for ati radeon 9200/9250? | 10:15 |

| ghindo | Is it safe to remove the "linux-generic" package? It looks like it's just a meta-package, but I want to make sure... | 10:15 |
| IN-lindzee | ok so i used wget to get that, babolat. now how do i install in? | 10:16 |
| User123 | renegade444 - i downloaded lts 8.04 & mounted it in windows to install... no cd/dvd drv | 10:16 |
| Rishie | Thanks ubot. I'm having trouble installing. I only get up to step 1 and then it seems to crash | 10:16 |

| ruth | We have a fresh ubuntu 7.10 install running. How can I set my terminal to a proper output? A the moment the characters are much too big, so it's not usable at all... Where can i set my screen resolution for the terminal? | 10:25 |
| roxahris | ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' | 10:25 |
| renegade444 | dr_willis: not at all sure how I should have put it so he could both see what was a command and not put the prompt in. | 10:25 |
| Dr_willis | renegade444, :) we need different fonts on irc! :0 actually i tend to use Quotes. | 10:25 |
| robg_ | ruth: you may need Sun Java for better screen performance. | 10:25 |
| ruth | I can use xterm instead, but it would be great to be able to use the 'real' terminal, too | 10:25 |

| renegade444 | exotix: I'm going to guess that your problem is that when you installed something it uninstalled something. I bet you'd have a better chance getting that solved in #vbox, but I really don't know your problem. my vbox works great ;) | 10:38 |
| JackWinter | zvacet: does that update all installed packages, because i still use vlc from gutsy which seems to work better. | 10:38 |
| exoitx | okay thnx | 10:39 |
| zvacet | JackWinter : if you don´t want to update it go to the synaptic and find that package>package tab>lock version | 10:39 |
| killzone | does networkmanager not support showing information for a ethernet bridge? | 10:40 |
| JackWinter | zvacet: thanks that is very handy..! | 10:40 |
| Cipry007 | babolat:i cant find it | 10:40 |
| zvacet | JackWinter :yes itis | 10:40 |
| Cipry007 | babolat: the website ... i cant find it on any option from software sources | 10:40 |
| robg_ | Cipry007: you must enter an apt-get phrase to activate the medubuntu repo in your system. Correct phrase is on website. | 10:41 |
| babolat | Cipry007: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 10:41 |
| robg_ | babolat: exactly. | 10:42 |
| JackWinter | zvacet: argh, am not sure i find that in adept. thanks fo the help in any case...! | 10:42 |
| babolat | Cipry007: then after that, add the pgp key by doing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 10:43 |
| zvacet | JackWinter : sorry I don´t use Kubuntu but I believe it must be something similar (or not ? ) | 10:44 |
| Cipry007 | babolat : done | 10:44 |
| JackWinter | zvacet: i'm about to find out. otherwise i suppose that i can always remove and reinstall the 3 packages needed. | 10:44 |

| thegeek | If I dual-boot Windows and Linux, and use GRUB bootloader, and I want to install a different version of Windows over the one currently in the Windows partition, anyone know a way of doing so without having Windows go "Woooo let's wipe out your bootloader and put one that goes straight to Windows"? | 10:46 |
| zvacet | JackWinter : it has to be some CLI option but I´m not able to find it right now | 10:47 |
| ruth | Sorry 4 asking again, but I have not found it in the docs yet: How can I set/change the screen resolution of my console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 Terminal)? Please help me (link to docs?) as I am completely new to ubuntu and never before had that issue with other distros... | 10:47 |
| robg_ | thegeek: you can delte partitions with gparted and install a new OS in the empty space. | 10:47 |
| Cipry007 | robg_: i have no ideea how to do that its my first time running on ubuntu | 10:47 |
| JackWinter | zvacet: sorry still a noob, what is CLI ? | 10:48 |
| robg_ | Cipry007: ubuntu-restricted-extras will give you better nVidia and Sun Java will give you better graphics. | 10:48 |
| zvacet | JackWinter : Command Line Interface (terminal) | 10:48 |
| san| | thegeek: windows will always overwrite you mbr.. just reinstall grub after windows is installed | 10:49 |
| robg_ | Cipry007: if you have medibuntu repo activated then you simply tick boxes in Synaptic. | 10:49 |
| renegade444 | thegeek: I know of no way to do that without killing your bootloader | 10:49 |
| thegeek | robg_: Not exactly what I mean....When you install Windows, instead of giving you a nice choice of bootloader/options like Linux does, it just automatically wipes your MBR's contents and puts a bootloader that just shoots you straight into Windows.... | 10:49 |
| nonix4 | Umm, what are those undocumented updates to gcc et all? Where's the desription? | 10:49 |
| zvacet | JackWinter : konsole | 10:49 |
| thegeek | san|: Is there an easy way to do that? I'm a bit n00bish when it comes to GRUB | 10:49 |

| testola | hey! i often run a script in the backgroud that downloads stuff and unpacks it for me. But when the unpacking starts it hogs my system. Is there any way to make it use less resources? priority? | 10:50 |
| renegade444 | thegeek: the trick I use is 2 hds and install grub on 2nd hd and win loader on 1st hd and select with bios which loader | 10:50 |
| jelle | got it, via vlc | 10:50 |
| koheleth | !opera | 10:51 |
| renegade444 | thegeek: then you can reinstall windows at your whim without affecting your linux | 10:51 |
| thegeek | robg_: I'm not sure if you know what I mean by MBR. MBR is the Master Boot Record of the hard drive, it contains the very first machine code program to get loaded if the hard drive is selected as the boot device. Every bootable hard drive has got an MBR, no matter what operating system it takes you into. | 10:51 |
| koheleth | !opera | 10:51 |
| zvacet | koheleth : what about it | 10:51 |
| koheleth | is the bot off? | 10:51 |
| babolat | what are you doing, koheleth? | 10:52 |
| babolat | go check with #ubottu | 10:52 |
| thegeek | renegade444: That's a pretty clever setup, kudos :D. But I don't have it set up that way and it wouldn't be easy to change to it. :P | 10:52 |
| san| | thegeek: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 10:52 |
| koheleth | I after the opera ftp repo for 9.5b2 | 10:52 |
| koheleth | #ubottu | 10:53 |
| zvacet | koheleth : 9.5b2 is not in repos download it from Opera site | 10:53 |
| JackWinter | zvacet: thanks, i'm googling for pin now ;) | 10:53 |
| san| | the geek: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 10:53 |
| renegade444 | thegeek: well, given the 1hd setup you have, I really don't think you can do it without having to re-install grub, sorry | 10:53 |
| zvacet | JackWinter : np | 10:54 |
| thegeek | renegade444: Oh it's okay if I need to re-install GRUB, I just need to learn how to do that. Hehe. | 10:54 |
| renegade444 | thegeek and sanj just gave you the easy to recover grub | 10:54 |
| san| | well grub isn't gone.. only the mbr part is (if I remember correctly) | 10:54 |
| thegeek | Yes I notice that =) Thanks san|....except I am wondering if they have it worded wrong on that page. They say "first partition" at a point when I think they mean to be talking about the MBR, not a partition. | 10:54 |
| koheleth | http://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/ is what I was looking for | 10:55 |
| koheleth | flash works out of the box in 9.5b2 | 10:55 |
| thegeek | Also san| , if what you mean is that the files and utilities for GRUB are still installed in Linux, it's just not installed to the boot record of the hard drive as the bootloader to actually use, then yes, you are 100% right. | 10:55 |
| podr0znik | good morning all (please treat it as afternoon/evening also, depending on where you are) :) | 10:55 |
| koheleth | 64bit too | 10:56 |
| podr0znik | does anyone have experience here with installing a label printer Brother QL-500 in (k)ubuntu? | 10:56 |
| san| | thegeek: you point out with hd0,0 where grub is installed (afaik) | 10:56 |
| zvacet | koheleth : you could ask about flash because older version of flash works too | 10:57 |
| san| | ah I was wondering why there were a lot of ubuntu questions.. this is not the wiidev channel :) | 10:57 |
| koheleth | really, had problems with it | 10:57 |
| cebrail | do anyone of you know how to install "java runtime envirement" ?? | 10:57 |
| koheleth | I like the easy life :) | 10:57 |
| koheleth | !java | 10:58 |
| * renegade444 laughs at sanj | 10:58 | |
| zvacet | koheleth : you are not the only one | 10:58 |
| koheleth | bot is off I guess | 10:58 |
| san| | cebrail: add/remove programs. Search for jre? | 10:58 |
| thegeek | san|: Right, but hd0,0 points to the MBR or it points to a partition? The page states that it points to the "first partition" .... I'm thinking they have it wrong and that hd0,0 is really the MBR which is where I want GRUB to be | 10:58 |
| koheleth | cebrail, type java +ubuntu in Google | 10:58 |
| cebrail | i installed it before, but now I dont remember how I did it | 10:58 |
| zvacet | koheleth : sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:58 |
| cebrail | ok | 10:58 |
| robg_ | cebrail: activate medibuntu.org repo, uninstall OpenJDK, install Sun Java (in Synaptic) | 10:58 |
| cebrail | no | 10:58 |
| koheleth | even better | 10:58 |
| cebrail | ok | 10:59 |
| selocol | Hello, can someone tell me what produces the bottom toolbar as seen in this picture: http://www.plenz.com/nethack-screenshots/long_worm.png Thanks. | 10:59 |
| xenomorph99 | HI. I've added an existing HDD that has several FAT32 partitions. Ubuntu only sees them as the partition sizes, which are all the same. How can I tell which has been mounted? | 10:59 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, cat /etc/mtab | 10:59 |
| xenomorph99 | Ah, nice one. mtab is like the "live" version of fstab? | 11:00 |
| anirudh0 | yes | 11:00 |
| anirudh0 | selocol, i think ncurses can do that. | 11:00 |
| xenomorph99 | Is there any way of knowing which UUID is which, also? | 11:00 |
| denverdave | morning.... Gnome Terminal, how do I delete the cache? thanks | 11:00 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, dunno..never understood the uuid system :) | 11:01 |
| san| | thegeek: I believe you have to tell grub where it can find the configuration files which are on you linux partition. | 11:01 |
| xenomorph99 | Me neither ;-) | 11:01 |
| thegeek | san|: Mmmmm.... | 11:01 |
| anirudh0 | denverdave, you mean terminal scrollback..what cache? | 11:01 |
| denverdave | yeah, terminal scrollback | 11:01 |
| thegeek | san|: Okay, well I'll look at some docs for a bit, thanks =) | 11:01 |
| denverdave | same thing | 11:01 |
| san| | thegeek: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 11:01 |
| renegade444 | cebrail: I can give you commandline instructions, if you want that instead of the synaptic instructions you already got. | 11:01 |
| san| | thegeek: there is all the info required | 11:01 |
| xenomorph99 | Is there a way of naming the partitions without wrecking them? I try this in gparted and it says it will destroy them and when I try it in Norton Partition tragic, it moans about one of my partitions being an incorrect size | 11:02 |
| san| | thegeek: it's been a while for me (not using windows anymore on this machine :) ) | 11:02 |
| anirudh0 | denverdave, set in in your terminal profile..edit->profile | 11:02 |
| selocol | anirudh0: thanks | 11:02 |
| denverdave | I've already checked the net, and nothing dispositive. | 11:02 |
| denverdave | ok hold on | 11:02 |
| Cipry007 | robg_: i installd updates but didint restarted yet ... i see alot of sun java things | 11:02 |
| thegeek | san|: Yeah, I got that one up....well it's a simple template but it doesn't really fully explain what you're doing I think. | 11:02 |
| anirudh0 | denverdave, there is a scrolling option in the profile..limit that to what you need | 11:02 |
| thegeek | san|: I wouldn't be using Windows at all either, except I need it to play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | 11:02 |
| thegeek | :P | 11:02 |
| denverdave | ic hold on | 11:02 |
| robg_ | Cipry007: just untick OpenJDK in Synaptic and tick Sun Java. | 11:03 |
| anirudh0 | denverdave, but why do it?..scollback is one of the nice things in the terminal | 11:03 |
| san| | thegeek: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3150 | 11:03 |
| thegeek | san|: Ah so the setup line "setup (hd0)" is what installs it to the MBR.... | 11:03 |
| renegade444 | I've gotten oblivion running under wine with the genuine m$ .dlls ;) | 11:03 |
| denverdave | because I am handing the computer over to the client | 11:03 |
| denverdave | and don't want to see what else I've installed as a surprise, if he doesn't pay me | 11:03 |
| denverdave | want him to see.. | 11:04 |
| thegeek | san|: Ahaha, wine and I are not best friends. | 11:04 |
| san| | thegeek: I'm off (have to work on my thesis *sigh*) goodluck! | 11:04 |

| dazjorz | I think something's wrong in Hurdy's repositories | 11:04 |
| dazjorz | The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs5-dev: Depends: kdelibs5 (= 4:4.0.4-0ubuntu1~hardy1) but 4:4.0.80-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2 is to be installed | 11:04 |
| killzone | alot dx9 games run with decent on vmwareplayer with the beta tools installed | 11:04 |
| dazjorz | How do I fix this? | 11:05 |
| denverdave | here's something you might want to look at | 11:05 |
| denverdave | installing lkl | 11:05 |
| denverdave | it's the keylogger | 11:05 |
| thegeek | san|: Thanks, and thanks for the help, good luck on your thesis =) | 11:05 |
| denverdave | and then I put it in rc.local, with forwarding to my email address | 11:05 |
| san| | thegeek: k, tnx | 11:05 |
| anirudh0 | denverdave, you have a devious mind | 11:05 |

| denverdave | thanks bye | 11:06 |
| xenomorph99 | Is there a way of naming the partitions without wrecking them? I try this in gparted and it says it will destroy them and when I try it in Norton Partition tragic, it moans about one of my partitions being an incorrect size | 11:06 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: I have installed a standard Canon MP210 printer from the driver list. | 11:06 |
| podr0znik | robg_: For what kind of printer? | 11:07 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, i used to do it in win explorer..right click on the disk label..change it | 11:07 |
| metroside | Is there a way of expanding the allocated space for a install of Ubuntu 8.04 within windows? | 11:07 |
| renegade444 | I'm disturbed by denverdave. A computer professional installing a keylogger as payment insurance? Very disturbing.... | 11:07 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: a standard printer not a label printer. | 11:07 |
| ben_underscore | renegade444: not to mention illegal | 11:07 |
| suRs | how do i come to my desktop settings? | 11:08 |
| podr0znik | robg_: I see. This printer seems to be quite a bitch to install... but some people did it before me ;) | 11:08 |
| podr0znik | the point is only that I'm dumb on linux area | 11:08 |
| xenomorph99 | OK, I'll try that. It seems that I changed a partition size with gparted and now Partition tragic and cfdisk both complain about it. Is there an easy way of fixing it? If I delete it, all my partitions will shuffle down I suspect? | 11:08 |
| ben_underscore | suRs: what do you want to do? | 11:08 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: I simply picked a suitable driver from the list and it worked. | 11:08 |
| suRs | i whant to change my theme settings :S | 11:08 |
| suRs | i dont whant to change the whole theme just some settings and colours | 11:09 |
| anirudh0 | ben_underscore, legality depends on the country you are in | 11:09 |
| podr0znik | robg_: I'm not sure even how far I am now, I have a driver installed (I think so at least) - ptouch, recommended | 11:09 |
| podr0znik | but nothing works so far | 11:09 |
| killzone | acronis partition manager is pretty good for fixing up a drive with a hosed partition table | 11:09 |
| ben_underscore | suRs: go to "appearance" in the system area menu and do it there | 11:09 |
| ubuntunew] | anyone havea few mins to help someone new to ubuntu having installation problems? | 11:10 |
| killzone | not sure how limited the demo version is tho | 11:10 |
| anirudh0 | !ask> ubuntunew] | 11:10 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: I had to wrestle with it for a while before it worked. I have no experience with label printers. | 11:10 |
| jin | hey | 11:10 |
| suRs | ben_underscore i have xubuntu | 11:10 |
| podr0znik | robg_: Ok, thanks :) | 11:10 |
| podr0znik | but in a channel with that many people, there must be sb with some experience :P | 11:10 |
| ben_underscore | suRs: sorry - don't know then :-( | 11:10 |
| renegade444 | ben_underscore: I would be a little less disturbed if he had given it an expiration date, meaning the machine would stop unless some code was input after some amount of time, meaning no payment, computer stops. That would still be disturbing, but not as disturbing as the keylogger. | 11:10 |
| xenomorph99 | I wouldn' t say it was hosed. Just one of them reports the size wrong. I took 1 partition and split it into 3 and since then it's been moaning about the size. Am I better to recombine the 3 ? | 11:11 |
| jin | こんにちは。 | 11:11 |
| Lr5 | "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K 2008-05-31 13:09 /sys/power/image_size", should the file size be that small in Ubuntu 8.04? | 11:11 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: try to Google it. | 11:11 |
| klathzaz2 | I am just guessing ncurses is not available through apt-get? | 11:11 |
| podr0znik | doing that already since yesterday evening | 11:11 |
| klathzaz2 | how do I verify something like that? I have been searching for it | 11:11 |
| metroside | Is there a way of expanding the allocated space for a install of Ubuntu 8.04 within windows? | 11:12 |
| klathzaz2 | but I hvae not found it | 11:12 |
| xenomorph99 | try sudo apt-get install ncu then press tab and see if it comes up as an option | 11:12 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: any info available from printer manufacturer ? | 11:12 |
| ben_underscore | klathzaz2: it's called ncurses-base | 11:12 |
| killzone | it sounds like there is just a small error in the master partition record | 11:12 |
| anirudh0 | suRs, iirc xfce also has a display config..in the main config editor | 11:12 |
| xenomorph99 | Which gparted put there, I suspect. | 11:12 |
| ubuntunew] | well I installed ubuntu about a year ago on a desktop no probemss, anyway i have a laptop that was running vista, so i got an ubuntu studio cd, I have it installed, unfortunately iy opens to a command line not a desktop, and i cant boot to a different cd not to install anything else | 11:13 |
| klathzaz2 | killzone: thanks | 11:13 |
| podr0znik | robg_: found some website now | 11:13 |
| ubuntunew] | does anyone have some suggestions pls? | 11:13 |
| podr0znik | the manual itself says that it's only compatbile with Windows and Mac | 11:13 |
| podr0znik | which I don't want to believe ;) | 11:13 |
| klathzaz2 | xenomorph99: thanks- wow can't believe that works | 11:13 |
| xenomorph99 | I'll delete the partitions then use cfdisk or whatever to recreate 1 in the place of the 3. It'll no doubt screw up my install, though, as it shuffles the partitions about. Is there a way of stopping that? | 11:13 |
| xenomorph99 | Klath. Yeah, it's a nice feature that | 11:14 |
| BoltClock | after installing updates recently (i believe 3 days ago), grub now reports two ubuntu installations on my pc alongside windows... both are hardy which is what i use, but one is of kernel 2.6.24-17 and another 2.6.24-16 | 11:14 |
| vic1ous | Hey Guys, Quick question I want to install a partition of windows without getting rid of my Ubuntu partition. I have been looking on the web on how to do this for a while now but still I have no clue. can anyone help me out? | 11:14 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: my canon manual tells me that too but I still get it to work in Ubuntu. | 11:14 |
| ubuntunew] | any ideas anyone? | 11:14 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, but that is alright..unless you want to save space by removing the older one | 11:14 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0: no, there is only one ubuntu installation on my pc | 11:15 |
| BoltClock | grub seems to be reporting two of them | 11:15 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, installation!=kernel_number | 11:15 |
| podr0znik | robg_: I found a manual which is in pretty clear English, so I'll give it a try | 11:15 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0: so i have two kernels now? | 11:15 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, you have 2 kernels, but one "installation" | 11:15 |
| xenomorph99 | OK. When I add a new HDD, my /dev/sda becomes /dev/sdb. Is there a way of preventing this? | 11:15 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, and grub chooses one of them at boot time | 11:16 |
| robg_ | podrOznik: I needed a Pixma 200 driver but Ubuntu only offered Pixma 180 so I tried that and it worked. | 11:16 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, i'd advise preserving the older kernel..sometimes the new one misbehaves | 11:16 |
| Cipry007 | babolat: i installed all those things but i still cant change my resolution my graphic card is in use not | 11:16 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0: i see. so the older kernel is kept there as backup so to speak? | 11:16 |
| zeroXten | anyone else being told by update manager that they have to do a partial upgrade? (which in my case then fails) | 11:17 |
| killzone | are they sata ? | 11:17 |
| xenomorph99 | My HDDs? | 11:17 |
| killzone | yea | 11:17 |
| xenomorph99 | One is, one is IDE | 11:17 |
| xenomorph99 | When I add the IDE, it displaces the SATA | 11:17 |
| robg_ | Cipry007: Sun Java gives me 1440 x 900 by default, the maximum my cheapo monitor can take. | 11:17 |
| killzone | change the order in the bios | 11:17 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, sort of | 11:17 |
| xenomorph99 | The boot order ? | 11:18 |
| Cipry007 | robg_ my resolution is 640x480 and i dont have any other choice in the screen resoultion thing only lower | 11:18 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0: alright. i thought it was a messed up grub or something lol. thanks! | 11:18 |
| killzone | should be another menu for changing the drive order too | 11:18 |
| anirudh0 | zeroXten, do a apt-get dist-upgrade from the terminal | 11:18 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock, np | 11:18 |
| killzone | on my bios its under advanced | 11:18 |
| xenomorph99 | It must be getting the boot order the same as before as it boots off the SATA drive first | 11:18 |
| babolat | Cipry007: ok | 11:18 |
| Dr_willis | xenomorph99, that happends on my systems also. thats one of the reasons the use of UUID's in the fstab is a good idea | 11:18 |
| robg_ | Cipry007: If you have installed everything maybe a restart is necessary. | 11:18 |
| babolat | Cipry007: your best bet now is probably use envy if you have nVidia or ATI | 11:19 |
| xenomorph99 | Yes, but how do you know what UUID applies to which partition? | 11:19 |
| Cipry007 | robg_: i did restarted my computer | 11:19 |
| zeroXten | k anirudh0 | 11:19 |
| Cipry007 | babolat: i have nVidia | 11:19 |
| xenomorph99 | It's fine if you do a fresh install as Ubuntu goes and adds the UUIDs to the fstab for you | 11:19 |
| Cipry007 | my screen is so big now i cant even click on System ... it will open something else | 11:19 |
| Dr_willis | xenomorph99, ls -l /dev/disk-by/uuid (i think) | 11:19 |
| babolat | !envy | Cipry007 your best bet now is probably Envy. --> | 11:19 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, file /dev/disk/by-uuid/<file-name> | 11:19 |
| koheleth | btw if you have a ati card do not use Fedora 9, there are no drivers for it | 11:20 |
| dxdemetriou | if is there a partial upgrade and instead of update manager used synaptic it could be a problem? | 11:20 |
| koheleth | I found out yestaday after installing it | 11:20 |
| xenomorph99 | That will list files on a particular partition? | 11:20 |
| xenomorph99 | Suppose the partitions are empty? Like mine | 11:20 |
| rconan | can anyone help me with this error while trying to encode with dvd::rip? http://rafb.net/p/5JFp9837.html | 11:20 |
| xenomorph99 | I have to add files to them first to differentiate them? | 11:20 |
| babolat | dxdemetriou: please rephrase to help us understand better | 11:20 |
| sidelil | Excuse me, in Gutsy when i was asking to connect to a SSH server, a mounted folder remained on my desktop even after rebooting. In Hardy upon reboot is gone. How can i keep it on the desktop? Shall i add it to fstab? | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, you wanted to find the uuid of a partition | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | !ask> xenomorph99 | 11:21 |
| xenomorph99 | Yes, I do | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | sorry | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | !who> xenomorph99 | 11:21 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, he uuid's are visible in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 11:22 |
| anirudh0 | xenomorph99, you should see a bunch of files there..they are all symbolic links..and the file command shows you what partition they point to | 11:22 |
| moDumass | hey all, i have a logitech communicator webcam | 11:22 |
| moDumass | and i am struggling to install it | 11:22 |
| moDumass | does anyone know of a website that may assist | 11:23 |
| xenomorph99 | Ah, I see. That works. Thanks | 11:23 |
| anirudh0 | moDumass, google for gspca | 11:23 |
| moDumass | thanks anirudh0> | 11:23 |
| jimcooncat | sidelil: I don't know the real answer, but you could use sshfs instead and add the mount command to your session startup | 11:23 |
| dxdemetriou | When I used the "Update Manager" today, it said about a partial upgrade. When I tried do to the partial upgrade it couldn't completed. So, I used the "Synaptic Package Manager" for the updates, but I don't know if this can cause problems later | 11:23 |
| kling0n | anirudh0: what is the model name of then camera? | 11:24 |
| kling0n | anirudh0: oops mis | 11:24 |
| sidelil | jimcooncat, ok thanks! | 11:24 |
| philsf | dxdemetriou: it probably won't, but what was the package that was not upgradable? | 11:24 |
| anirudh0 | dxdemetriou, , do a apt-get dist-upgrade from the terminal | 11:25 |
| dxdemetriou | philsf, I don't know. it said about pre-released releases and unsupported packages | 11:25 |
| n3urogod | hey guys...I just reinstalled my system using Ubuntu 8.04 and installed envyng-gtk, then ran envyng and installed the driver for my nvidia card which appeared to work and asked me to reboot, which I did. When it booted up it said "System is running in low video mode" so I went in and selected the nvidia card, my monitor and changed the resolution to 1280x1024 @ 75Hz (the default for my LCD), but it booted using 800x600 again....I got a | 11:25 |
| n3urogod | popup saying I was using a restricted driver and in "Hardware Drivers" it now has the nvidia driver selcted and "in use".....but if I run glxgears I get "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".....I checked the xorg.conf and I definitely have glx being loaded....any ideas? | 11:25 |
| anirudh0 | !list>anirudh0 | 11:25 |
| Jadd | What does a partial upgrade mean? | 11:26 |
| anirudh0 | strange..ubottu is offline | 11:26 |
| philsf | dxdemetriou: well, without the proper information, it's hard to tell exactly what went on, but if you opened synaptic and it didn't complain, it's a safe bet that nothing's wrong | 11:26 |
| anirudh0 | any ops here, why is ubottu offline? | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | recharging her batteries? | 11:27 |
| Lr5 | Does the hibernating thing use /sys/power/image_size, and should it be more than 524288000 if you have 2 gb of ram? | 11:27 |
| philsf | Jadd: it could be that the new version of a package depends on another package that's not installed. update-manager can't deal with this, synaptic can | 11:27 |
| Cipry007 | i restarted computer again and still cant make resoulustion higher then 640x480 | 11:27 |
| philsf | Jadd: meaning, update manager won't install new packages to satisfy dependencies | 11:28 |
| Jadd | philsf: I enabled the proposed updates, is this normal for proposed? | 11:28 |
| anirudh0 | Dr_willis, bots have genders? | 11:28 |
| Dr_willis | anirudh0, youve never seen those Heavy Metal Magazine Fem-bots eh? :) | 11:28 |
| kobrux | Hey can anyone help me with my sound? | 11:29 |
| philsf | Jadd: I wouldn't say 'normal', but it's not unexpected. If you're in doubt, use synaptic | 11:29 |
| kobrux | My card is 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) | 11:29 |
| kobrux | and i dont have any sound at all in linux... | 11:29 |
| dxdemetriou | philsf, I didn't have problem with synaptic. it's just I wanted to understand the reason of partial updates. The only I know is that it cleaning packages that don't needed | 11:29 |
| philsf | dxdemetriou: as I said, it's not as simple as "the" reason. could be a number of things | 11:30 |
| larson9999 | i think i should file a bug but i don't know how to now. the issue is i had 4 computers running ubuntu for the past 2 years or so. all ran fine except one of the 2 laptops. it crashed once or twice a day EVERYDAY for the whole time through all the distros and many clean installs. | 11:30 |
| philsf | dxdemetriou: without more information, I can't tell you more | 11:30 |
| Jadd | OK, thanks philsf | 11:30 |
| sriram | how do i solve this: "The application 'evolution' (/usr/bin/evolution) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked." | 11:31 |
| sriram | it started oming since the time i updated my sys. yesterday | 11:31 |
| Jadd | I got another question: if my bug is marked as duplicate, it's been fixed but the fix doesn't work for me, should I file a new bug? (launchpad ubuntu of course) | 11:31 |
| julle_ | could someone help me get ubuntus nvidia gfx drivers to work under gutsy again? i've upgraded linux modules and after that it stopped working | 11:31 |
| larson9999 | I finally got fed up with it and went distro shopping. i tried sabayon for a week before i settled on slackware. i've been on slackware for about a week now. neither of these has crashed on me even once. | 11:32 |
| anirudh0 | larson9999, err...thats not much to put in a big report..unless you can give some indication about _why_ the laps crashed | 11:32 |
| anirudh0 | *bug | 11:32 |
| philsf | Jadd: depends on the particular issue, but you should add a comment in the master bug | 11:32 |
| philsf | Jadd: what's the bug number? | 11:32 |
| Jadd | philsf, just a sec, I'll find it | 11:33 |
| nantax | help me please... i have entered something in my keyboard and my screen zoomed in and now it looks like im looking at a magnifying glass | 11:33 |
| anirudh0 | sriram, accessories>keyrings | 11:33 |
| larson9999 | anirudh0, that's the problem. i always thought i just didn't set something up correctly or it was somehow else my fault. but now i don't. but i don't want to install ubuntu on it just to see if i can find info for a bug report. | 11:33 |
| nantax | i can scroll around the screen and i dont know how to get out of this mode | 11:33 |
| anirudh0 | nantax, restart x..ctrl alt del | 11:33 |
| sriram | anirudh0: there is no such program under accessories, do you actually mean seahorse, anyway? | 11:34 |
| anirudh0 | larson9999, a drivers issue maybe..hard to say since you have already removed it | 11:34 |
| ubuntunew] | i have installed ubuntu to my laptop but it opens to a commant line and wont do anything at all, can anyone give me a hand or advice | 11:34 |
| nantax | is there a hotkey of some sort to put it back at normal? it looks like a disability feature that will allow you to zoom in to your desktop | 11:34 |
| ubuntunew] | command* | 11:34 |
| philsf | nantax: try win+1 | 11:34 |
| anirudh0 | sriram, yes..sorry :) | 11:34 |
| kqr-arch | i have installed ubuntu, and i have no sound... i got the recommendation to install alsa as sound server, and i did... but when i try to launch alsamixer it says "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" anyone know why? o_O | 11:34 |
| Jadd | philsf: got it: bug number #215573 | 11:35 |
| robg_ | ubuntunew]: consult Google for successful Linux installs for your laptop. | 11:35 |
| philsf | nantax: or hold the win key, and scroll with your mouse | 11:35 |
| dazjorz | kqr-arch: because it's not the sound server that's the problem, it's the fact that your soundcard wasn't found | 11:35 |
| nanoprobe | hello @all | 11:35 |
| sriram | anirudh0: and how do i unlock seahorse? | 11:35 |
| anirudh0 | nantax, on compiz? | 11:35 |
| nantax | lol that did it than you very much | 11:35 |
| anirudh0 | sriram, not very sure..look up the authorizations thing under sys>admin | 11:35 |
| Jadd | philsf: I had marked it as the duplicate, because I thought the updated package fixed the problem, but it didn't | 11:36 |
| nanoprobe | like always, full house :D | 11:36 |
| ubuntunew] | i have and i havent found anything, but i am unable to force it to boot to cd so i cn get to some other os\ | 11:36 |
| sriram | anirudh0: i have actually set the default passphrase to ultimate and tried entering it in that box, still it complains. | 11:36 |
| kqr-arch | dazjorz: ok, if i try lspci would i find no sound unit? | 11:36 |
| kantor | Hi, I was wondering if it's a good idea to create a Linux program that can make full backup of the hard disk partitions, and can restore them (master boot record and all the primary, extended . . . partition records) if you messed up your hard drive. Would that be useful ? | 11:36 |
| dazjorz | kqr-arch: then you probably wouldn't find sound hardware, no | 11:36 |
| kqr-arch | dazjorz: i tried lspci and found the card... that's the problem... it says ""00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)" | 11:36 |
| anirudh0 | kantor, lots of those exist..partimage for instance | 11:36 |
| dazjorz | kqr-arch: search online for the error you get and "intel ac'97 audio controller" | 11:37 |
| larson9999 | anirudh0 yeah but what would be persistent since hoary? since i mostly noticed the crashes when flash was running i thought it was flash or many the graphics card but niether sabayon nor slackware seem to care how much flash i watch. | 11:37 |
| robg_ | kantor: I prefer to write files to removable media and simply do a re-install when the system becomes unusable. | 11:37 |

| klathzaz2 | I got build essentials- but now when I build I get a lot of errors. I have had these types of errors bfore and I forget what I did to fix, I know it may be a missing dependency. They show on things like : __STD_ and __gnu_cxx:: etc complaining about namespace. Any ideas? I am thinking ths is a C++ issue? | 11:37 |
| renegade444 | oops, sorry, wrong window | 11:37 |
| kantor | ok, I just want to write a program for Linux but I don't know what :( | 11:37 |
| |_DJ_| | orphean: my sound works :) | 11:38 |
| klathzaz2 | kantor: hello world | 11:38 |
| nanoprobe | i installed wirelles driver, and it says that hardware is present, but don't know how to activate wifi, since the wifi indicator is not on | 11:38 |
| robg_ | kantor: Linux already has too many programs. | 11:38 |
| anirudh0 | kantor, :)..try fixing bugs first..its a lot more useful | 11:38 |
| kqr-arch | dazjorz: thanks, i'll search a little and report back (: | 11:38 |
| Dr_willis | kantor, theres allready dozens of ways to backup/restore :) | 11:38 |
| Dr_willis | we need more howtos and docs and wikis! | 11:39 |
| klathzaz2 | kantor: make a program thatlets me have roaming mouse and keyboard between different machines over network- so I can have multiple displays of multiple machines but use one mouse and keyboard to focus their inputs | 11:39 |
| kantor | klathzaz2, I'm not a beginner, I already wrote an utility application for optical drives | 11:39 |
| philsf | Jadd: if you're sure the bug you reported is a dup, forget it, and add comments in the bug it duplicates | 11:39 |
| nanoprobe | key combination that works in vista don't work in ubuntu (to activate wlan) | 11:39 |
| nantax | okay im just wondering, what did i press that made the screen zoom in which was fixed by the win+scroll mouse, i can't zoom in again. might come in handy someday | 11:39 |
| philsf | Jadd: in your case, bug #200142 | 11:39 |
| Dr_willis | klathzaz2, thats 'syngery' i belive :) | 11:39 |
| Dr_willis | klathzaz2, i an controll my laptop from this desktop machine with 1 keyvboard/mouse | 11:39 |
| anirudh0 | nantax, you probably had "zoom" enabled in compiz..look up ccsm | 11:39 |
| ubuntunew] | hmmm guys i really need just a tiny bit of help | 11:39 |
| Jadd | philsf: but I'm not sure it's a duplicate, since it seemed to have fixed it for the other bug reporter | 11:40 |
| nanoprobe | anyone willing to help me with wlan activation? (God help us :D) | 11:40 |
| klathzaz2 | Dr_willis: oh nice | 11:40 |
| nantax | anirudh0: i have compiz and i pressed something and the screen zoomed in, do you know what made it do that? | 11:40 |
| ubuntunew] | i have a windows bootable instaooation disc in my dvd drive and want to force it to run, any ideas? | 11:40 |
| klathzaz2 | Dr_willis: my new philosophy on software is that 'its been done, find it' rather tahn 'I wonder if I should a program that does xyz' | 11:40 |
| Dr_willis | klathzaz2, yep. :) not too hard to set up. takes a little thinking/config. just rember to STOP the syngery server when the wife takes the laptop upstairs. | 11:40 |
| nantax | I was trying to map win+e but now i know that its bound to the expo something | 11:40 |
| philsf | Jadd: is it really crashes, or freezes? | 11:41 |
| zeroXten | synergy rules | 11:41 |
| klathzaz2 | freaking amazing | 11:41 |
| robg_ | ubuntunew] you usually have to keep your finger pressed on the boot options key (usually F8). | 11:41 |
| nantax | got it, its win+r | 11:41 |
| Jadd | philsf: you know, I've always wondered what the difference was. Everything stops moving, including mouse cursor, ctrl-alt-f1 to f6 and ctrl-alt-backspace have no effect | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | zeroXten, yep. makes it easy to handle the laptop thats hooked to the tv playinb the videos... from the couch. :) | 11:42 |
| ubuntunew] | i can get it into the boot options, on this compaq laptop its f10 | 11:42 |
| ubuntunew] | but it boots to grub not to the disc | 11:42 |
| zeroXten | hehe we used to use it at work, a dual screen linux machine and a windows one... very nice | 11:42 |
| philsf | Jadd: looks like a freeze to me | 11:42 |
| robg_ | ubuntunew]: then you force a boot with your finger on F10. | 11:42 |
| Jadd | philsf: so what's a crash? | 11:42 |
| napalm | hi, i just installed 8.04 server edition | 11:42 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | hi how can I convert iso to bin in cli? | 11:43 |
| napalm | i installed openssh | 11:43 |
| philsf | can you ssh from another computer to make sure something is working? | 11:43 |
| ubuntunew] | i did that too and it booted to grub not the disc | 11:43 |
| nanoprobe | hello people, need help with wlan activation *driver installed, only don't know how to activate it* | 11:43 |
| napalm | and i can't connect remotely | 11:43 |
| philsf | jadd: can you ssh from another computer to make sure something is working? | 11:43 |
| Dr_willis | Baby_Shambl3s, why do you need to? | 11:43 |
| anirudh0 | Baby_Shambl3s, what do you want to do..i mean with the .bin | 11:43 |
| napalm | is there something i have to do to allow ssh connections now? | 11:43 |
| anirudh0 | napalm, in general no..check whether its running | 11:43 |
| robg_ | ubuntunew] the machine has a tendency to revert to harddisk boot. You must find a way to force a CD boot. | 11:43 |
| Jadd | philsf: I'd love to, but I doubt it | 11:44 |
| anirudh0 | napalm, ps -A|grep sshd | 11:44 |
| jokoon | Hello, is there a mgnifier in ubuntu ? | 11:44 |
| Assid | hi | 11:44 |
| Jadd | philsf: unless I can convince my family to let me do it on their windows | 11:44 |
| Assid | i am trying to use grub-reboot to use an alternate kernel image during boot | 11:44 |
| ubuntunew] | anyway i am in there, the first boot item is cd and i actually have boot from ide drive turned off | 11:44 |
| philsf | Jadd: a crash (in X) would have more or less the same effect that ctrl-alt-backspace (except it's unintentional, and by murphy's law it would happen when you have the mostunsaved work open) | 11:44 |
| nanoprobe | jokoon: yes, it is | 11:44 |

| anirudh0 | Baby_Shambl3s, iso is a movie or game? | 11:46 |
| Dr_willis | Baby_Shambl3s, what program is this? as far as i have seen you can just rename the .iso to .bin and the formats are the same in many cases. if this is a Copy Protected Game cd. You proberly lost any specail info on the image when you did the conversion to iso. | 11:46 |

| Zbradsta | can someone help me with running a ".package. that i downloaded | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, 'autopackage' files? :) its proberly best to avoide them | 11:48 |
| Zbradsta | its a game called vdrift that i want to play | 11:49 |
| anirudh0 | nvc, therefore the server is running..what error do you get when trying to ssh to it? | 11:49 |
| Zbradsta | but its in a auto package | 11:49 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Dr_willis: oh didnt think of that | 11:49 |
| nvc | 'connection refused' | 11:49 |
| hchufeng | anirudh0 thank you very much but do it can support chinese? | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, i http://autopackage.org/ i think ias the info ya need.. looking there now | 11:49 |
| Zbradsta | thank you | 11:49 |
| anirudh0 | hchufeng, gnochm is a gnome project..and gnome is very particular about good localisations..so my guess is yes | 11:50 |
| podr0znik | robg_: Works :) | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, theres no guarentees with ubuntu and autopackages.. good luck. | 11:50 |
| Zbradsta | yea its no help to me | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, you sure its not in the ubuntu repos? you have enabled all the repos? | 11:51 |
| KalEl | how can i send the commands ^c or ^q to an application running in screen? | 11:51 |
| Zbradsta | repos? | 11:51 |
| munky | hi. when i try to connect to vpn relakks i get "vpn connection failed" | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, ubuntu uses repositories. for the software.. there are unoffical ones not enabled by default. | 11:52 |
| n3urogod | KalEl, ctrl-a-c and ctrl-a-q? | 11:52 |
| anirudh0 | nvc, there are many ways to solve this..but a clean reinstall is easiest | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, i suggest checking them out befor using autopackages | 11:52 |
| nvc | reinstall? of what? | 11:52 |
| Zbradsta | ok | 11:52 |
| nvc | i just only installed the OS and openssh | 11:52 |
| anirudh0 | nvc, first apt-get --purge remove openssh-server..then reinstalled it | 11:52 |
| anirudh0 | wait..you mean you never installed the server? | 11:53 |
| Zbradsta | Dr_willis, this is the site i got the file off http://vdrift.net/ | 11:53 |
| robg_ | Zbradsta: go to www.medibuntu.org and follow site instructions. | 11:53 |
| nvc | no no, i did | 11:53 |
| KalEl | n3urogod, thanks... | 11:53 |
| anirudh0 | nvc, "no no" is ambiguous :) | 11:53 |
| nvc | i installed 8.04 server just like 20mins ago and then i installed openssh via the apt-get command | 11:53 |
| nvc | and then everything seemed correct | 11:53 |
| nvc | could it possibly be my router? | 11:53 |
| philsf | !ubottuwhereareyou? | 11:53 |
| anirudh0 | nvc, purge and reinstall the openssh-server anyway | 11:53 |
| Dr_willis | Zbradsta, windows 'thinking' is downloading from a web site to install.. "linux" thinking is to use the Package manager tool for your Linux Disrto to install things. :) | 11:53 |
| nvc | ok | 11:54 |
| anirudh0 | philsf, a while ago ops said ubottu was being overhauled | 11:54 |
| Zbradsta | i have ubuntu 8.04 btw | 11:54 |
| philsf | anirudh0: oh | 11:54 |
| nvc | removed | 11:54 |

| emma | hischild programmer01 --- libapache2-mod-php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (apache 2 module). In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5 (hardy), package size 2482 kB, installed size 5608 kB | 12:20 |
| jussi01 | !test | 12:20 |
| nubotu | Failed | 12:20 |
| hischild | jrib: what's up with emma? | 12:20 |
| ompaul | Erik1_, you can participate or not but the package is installed by default it checks how "popular" packages are - by use and so forth it helps make the distro better | 12:21 |
| emma | hischild: huh? | 12:21 |
| bouma | jrib: so there anything else i can do to get java to wrok? like install gcjwebplugin or something ? | 12:21 |
| hischild | emma: oh you appeared to be a bot with your responses. | 12:21 |
| jrib | bouma: well you can install that to see if it works I guess, but it doesn't work as well as sun's plugin | 12:21 |
| Erik1_ | ompaul: and why would it want to remove ubuntu-standard then ? | 12:21 |
| emma | hischild: nope. I was trying to be helpful with the package information. | 12:21 |
| Carbonflux | emma is not a bot heh | 12:22 |
| ompaul | Erik1_, cos it is part of the meta package -standard | 12:22 |
| ben_underscore | hischild: great pick up line | 12:22 |
| programmer01 | emma: i have this module - libapache2-mod-php5 installed ? | 12:22 |
| Erik1_ | hm | 12:22 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | lol is all i can say at this point... poor emma | 12:22 |
| DrHalan | hey im running hardy with compiz enabled. when i put rhythmbox to fullscreen the windows sometimes flashes. | 12:22 |
| philsf | lol | 12:22 |
| hischild | emma: you are =). Just didn't expect it from a human, as you didn't add anything that made you stand out from a bot there. My bad *apologizes* | 12:22 |
| * emma smiles | 12:22 | |
| Carbonflux | ya it is your bad heh, that was really rude | 12:22 |
| ompaul | Erik1_, meta packages contain many other "real packages" they are convenient ways of getting an amount of functionality in one package | 12:23 |
| hischild | ben_underscore: don't need a pickup line, got a gf already. | 12:23 |
| Erik1_ | ok | 12:23 |
| ompaul | Erik1_, removing one of them will take out its meta package | 12:23 |
| Erik1_ | ompaul: any cmdl options to prevent that ? | 12:24 |
| hischild | Erik1_: no, it's required for the meta package to be removed once you remove an underlying package. If a meta package gets updated it'd reinstall that package you want to remove. | 12:25 |
| philsf | hischild: not true | 12:25 |
| Erik1_ | ok | 12:25 |
| hischild | philsf: how so? | 12:25 |
| ompaul | Erik1_, that did not parse - you remove a package and the meta package is no longer complete, therefore it is no longer installed so only the only impact is you take out the named meta package and the 1 actual package that is all nothing to get upset with - you can appear to remove ubuntu-desktop but all other parts remain | 12:26 |
| philsf | hischild: a meta package is just an empty package with dependencies on other pkgs. It doesn't "have" packages | 12:26 |
| Erik1_ | hischild: hm.. is it an underlying or an overlying package, theis contest thing ? | 12:26 |
| philsf | hischild: removing a dependency has the same effect on any kind of package | 12:26 |
| programmer01 | :quit | 12:26 |
| DrHalan | nobody can help me iwth the fullscreen thing? | 12:26 |
| hischild | philsf: so what i said was true. | 12:26 |
| philsf | hischild: not because of what you said | 12:27 |
| philsf | Erik1_: popcon doesn't do anything by default, and doesn't take much space, you can safely ignore it | 12:27 |
| Erik1_ | ok | 12:28 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/source-directe-563.html My problem is here I can translate explanation....anyone to help me ? | 12:28 |
| hischild | philsf: it is true. Look at the ubuntu-desktop package. It _has_ a version number. You can remove a single package and not remove what it's a dependency for, but when the meta package gets updated apt reinstalls the package. | 12:28 |
| mohi | does ubuntu hardy supports MSCHAPv2 authentication by default | 12:32 |
| philsf | hischild: sorry, I mis-directed my correction | 12:32 |
| philsf | hischild: it should have gone to ompaul | 12:32 |
| philsf | hischild: you are correct, indeed | 12:33 |
| Error323 | anyone here that can help me with a kernel compilation problem? | 12:33 |
| hischild | philsf: np. I jumped in when ompaul seemed to be afk. | 12:33 |
| hischild | Error323: what seem to be the problem? | 12:33 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | if i log out will my iso be umounted? | 12:33 |
| Error323 | Well hischild I used this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 12:33 |
| hischild | Baby_Shambl3s: what iso mounted where? If it's in a directory on your physical system, then you'll be fine. | 12:34 |
| Error323 | and compiled / installed the new custom kernel | 12:34 |
| Error323 | however | 12:34 |
| ompaul | the dep is the package "member" of the meta package when the member goes it takes the meta with it | 12:34 |
| Error323 | when loading it, it goes into some real basic debian terminal | 12:34 |
| hischild | Error323: please avoid using the enter after every few words. | 12:34 |
| ompaul | however not having a full list of metas can cause grief at upgrade time | 12:34 |
| hischild | Error323: you most likely forgot to add the option which makes the kernel unable to mount your root filesystem (aka the partition / ) | 12:35 |
| numpsz3 | Hello! How can i list the network devices? To get a list for ex.: "eth0 eth1 " | 12:35 |
| hischild | numpsz3: sudo ifconfig -a | 12:35 |
| philsf | ompaul: which is why they are installed automatically by the upgrade process | 12:35 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | hischild, its mounted in /media/iso im guessing that would be umounted as it is accessed by fstab | 12:35 |
| greysky | lspci numpsz3 | 12:35 |
| soundray | numpsz3: ifconfig | 12:35 |
| greysky | and ifconfig | 12:36 |
| hischild | Baby_Shambl3s: if you logout (not restart) then it'll stay mounted. | 12:36 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | hischild, oh ok thats nice to know | 12:36 |
| Error323 | hischild, where can i find this option? I first copied a config of my latest generic working kernel | 12:36 |
| hischild | Error323: did you disable some options? May i ask what the reason is for compiling a custom kernel? | 12:37 |
| numpsz3 | i want only a simple list | 12:38 |
| numpsz3 | like "eth0 eth1..." | 12:38 |
| prolefeed | hi, i seem to have these fonts with names like "shado" and "tarablus" that are apparently arabic, they all display as the same english font with slight differences in line padding, etc. does anyone know what happened here? | 12:38 |
| greysky | numpsz3 ifconfig -a |grep eth | 12:38 |
| greysky | it still has other information in there but what stops you from formating the data? | 12:39 |
| Error323 | hischild, several reasons: 1) learning, 2) optimization. I enabled some option regarding my processor family and unchecked kernel debugging, block layer, generic x86 support | 12:39 |
| soundray | numpsz3: ifconfig -a | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | tr -s '\n' ' ' | 12:39 |
| numpsz3 | not all devices are started with "eth" | 12:39 |
| numpsz3 | soudtray: thank you! | 12:39 |
| numpsz3 | +n | 12:39 |
| soundray | -t | 12:39 |
| hischild | Error323: that might be one of the things that might cause it to die. Disable splash and quiet on the grub command line, and see where it goes wrong. Then reenable that option and try again. | 12:39 |
| numpsz3 | :) | 12:40 |

| emma | ottoshmidt: you went to #rhythmbox here on Freenode (as did I, in search of a channel for you, which is why I know you are in there) | 12:44 |
| emma | ottoshmidt: the rhythmbox channel is not on Freenode, it is on irc.gimp.net | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cheers dude | 12:44 |
| ottoshmidt | I can't understand the difference | 12:44 |

| ottoshmidt | XCHAT 2.8.4 | 12:45 |
| darko | hi | 12:45 |
| hischild | hi | 12:46 |
| ottoshmidt | emma, I'm not having probs with chat client | 12:46 |
| ottoshmidt | it's Rhythmbox | 12:46 |
| EJ | can i ask something general - does xchat support multiple server log-ins like konversation? | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis | ej yes it does | 12:47 |
| dave12 | I have problems when I make rsync between /home pc1 and /home pc2 | 12:47 |
| emma | ottoshmidt: in Xchat click on Xchat > Network List > Highlight GimpNet and click connect. Then you will be on the network where you can type /join #rhythmbox in order to get to their official channel. | 12:47 |
| dave12 | in pc2 firefox and other programs dont open | 12:47 |
| EJ | Dr_willis : alright. thanks =) i'll play around with it | 12:47 |
| ottoshmidt | emma, ok thanks | 12:48 |
| emma | ottoshmidt: As a first step you might want to ask the question here though to see if anyone happens to know. | 12:48 |

| Dr_willis | Error323, that may be why it was having problems befor.? | 12:56 |

| Dr_willis | ovidiu, i use btnx --> http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ it lets you do a lot of neat tricks with the extra buttons. | 12:58 |
| robg_ | CodddEr: Gparte LiveCD can edit NTFS partitions on a harddisk. | 12:58 |
| ovidiu | I tried that program | 12:58 |
| ovidiu | but it don't works with my mouse | 12:58 |
| jrib | CodddEr: the rugular ubuntu desktop cd will let you do that | 12:58 |
| Dr_willis | ovidiu, thers other ways to get it going.. i guess.. but i havent messed with them. | 12:58 |
| CodddEr | jrib , it doesnt | 12:58 |
| ifireball | CodddEr: you can try "system rescue CD" | 12:58 |
| ovidiu | some time ago I made that buttons to work... | 12:59 |
| jrib | CodddEr: sure it does, just make sure the ntfs drive is mounted and run gksudo nautilus | 12:59 |
| ovidiu | but I don't know how :)) | 12:59 |
| ovidiu | *I don't remember | 12:59 |
| Error323 | Dr_willis, could be, so this will work in rc.local ?: "su - user screen -S rtorrent rtorrent" | 12:59 |
| zengen | How can I cancel an aptitude install? I went to install grisbi and stopped it when I saw it was installing 300mb of language files. Now it keeps trying to install everything when I run apt. | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | ovidiu, thats weird. check their forums? You may need to some how remap the buttons. w | 12:59 |
| ifireball | CodddEr: most live-CD disrtos include ntf3g to allow editing NTFS file systems | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | Error323, try it and see i guess. you checked the su man pages? :) | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | Error323, your users name is screen? | 13:00 |
| Error323 | Dr_willis, yes i did, but using this command requires a password prompt it seems could find a way around it in the man pages | 13:00 |

| Error323 | Dr_willis, no it's fhuizing so the command will be: "su - fhuizing screen -S rtorrent rtorrent" | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | Error323, you might want toreread the man pages.. i think you need the -C option in there somewhere. | 13:01 |
| Error323 | Dr_willis, and that implies no pw prompt? | 13:01 |

| Ardorin | maek0, any chance I can make that run withouth an X GUI? | 13:11 |
| photosinensis | computer: Well, the first thing that comes to mind is PyGame, but that's simply because I've spent far too long with Python. | 13:11 |
| anirudh0 | computer, there are a lot of libs and apps to help you do that..specially in python | 13:11 |
| photosinensis | Unfortunately, I've never used the libraries it provides. | 13:11 |
| anirudh0 | computer, glade takes care of the gui stuff | 13:11 |
| computer | thank you much guys, i'll try it out real quick | 13:12 |
| photosinensis | That said, there's surely someone in the Ubuntu community that knows something about PyGame, as there are a lot of Python fans amongst the crowd. | 13:12 |
| maek0 | Ardorin, you could also try http://www.torrentflux.com/ | 13:12 |

| Leefmc | Question: How does one go about updating firefox beta 5 to RC1? Firefox's "check for updates" isn't working, and i downloaded FF3RC1 but im having issues even installing it... its just, weird. | 13:19 |
| albech | anyone here running Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG on 8.04? | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | Leefmc, you dont let firefox update itself under linux. :) you let the package manager handle it. | 13:21 |
| ubuntu | hi | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | !info firefox | 13:21 |
| albech | its working on 7.10, but not on 8.04.. its the hurdle for finally upgrading to 8.04 | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | is the bot gone again? :( | 13:21 |
| jpds | Dr_willis: yeah | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | what is the latest firefox in the repos anyway? ive not updated in ages | 13:22 |
| Leefmc | Dr_willis: ah, weird. Ok then, how do i make the package manager update firefox? I tried going in there (Add/Remove progs), but firefox was already listed.. so how do i make it update? | 13:22 |
| Leefmc | Dr_willis: Well officially, RC1, build wise, no idea | 13:22 |
| Leefmc | I was using RC1 with Windows before my switch | 13:22 |
| Erosion | What's the default path to where OpenSSL is installed? | 13:22 |
| m1dn1ght | Hey guys. Having some trouble using my webcam in Ubuntu. Trying to use the cheese program to capture video but the program keeps crashing. I've taken the info from the system log and hopefully this means something to someone: http://pastebin.com/m1de8c45e | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | Leefmc, same as anytying else gets updated. 'sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade' its updated along with everything else. | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | Leefmc, no need for each program to have its own 'update' feature. | 13:23 |
| Dr_willis | Leefmc, however - the updates may be a bit slow to come out. | 13:23 |
| Erosion | What's the default path to where OpenSSL is installed? | 13:23 |
| Leefmc | Dr_willis: Ah, well i assumed something was needed because firefox isn't asking to upgrade heh. How do i force the issue? | 13:23 |
| jpds | Erosion: /usr/bin/openssl | 13:23 |
| Erosion | jpds: Thanks | 13:23 |
| Dr_willis | Leefmc, easy answer - you dont.. let the package manager system doits job and handle the updates. | 13:23 |
| photosinensis | Firefox won't upgrade itself. | 13:23 |
| jpds | Erosion: "type openssl" reveals all | 13:24 |
| photosinensis | That's Apt's job. | 13:24 |
| Dr_willis | well i gotta run - take care. | 13:24 |

| Leefmc | photosinensis: Oh, kool your in the convo :). Ok, i understand that the package manager will handle updates, but how do i make it update firefox? I _want_ RC1, what can i do? | 13:25 |
| anirudh0 | nothing seems to be like it in gnome-games | 13:25 |
| NameTaken | my xfce file manager has huge text and i'm not sure how to fix it | 13:25 |

| m1dn1ght | Anirud0 - yep. just go to add programs and search for hearts | 13:26 |
| photosinensis | Well, if you absolutely must have RC1, you *can* get it from Mozilla. | 13:26 |
| m1dn1ght | it's right there | 13:26 |
| anirudh0 | thanks | 13:26 |
| photosinensis | Though when the new version is ready, it'll show up in Update Manager, along with all other system upgrades. | 13:26 |
| rconan | photosinensis, or get it from -proposed is probably better than from mozilla | 13:26 |
| photosinensis | If you want to force an update, open a command line and type "sudo apt-get update" | 13:26 |
| photosinensis | rconan: good point. | 13:27 |
| Rosen | everytime I try to run the *.run file for installing quake3 I get a 'sh cannot open blahblah.run' msg... do I need any special packages to use the sh command ? | 13:27 |
| photosinensis | There are numerous problems with getting stuff from Mozilla. It just doesn't work in the same way | 13:27 |
| Leefmc | photosinensis: And is forcing the updates bad at all? Since updates seem to come rather slow | 13:27 |
| Leefmc | Question: Is there a shortcut to terminal? | 13:27 |
| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u | ||
| photosinensis | Forcing an update will simply poll the repository servers for the latest version of the software on the servers, then check it against what you've got. | 13:28 |
| anirudh0 | Rosen, you need to do a chmod +x on the .run file first | 13:28 |
| photosinensis | It won't cause harm. | 13:28 |
| photosinensis | That said, some servers have more on them than others. | 13:28 |
| m1dn1ght | leefmc - applications > terminal | 13:28 |
| robg_ | photosynensis: a sync operation | 13:28 |
| m1dn1ght | applications > accessories > terminal sorry | 13:28 |
| kahrytan | Who knows how to install Flash for Opera 9.5? | 13:29 |
| Rosen | anirudh0: thanks :) I'll try again | 13:29 |
| * photosinensis remembers the days of downloading package lists from Debian--that sometimes took several minutes | 13:29 | |
| Leefmc | m1dn1ght: Yea, but is there a shortcut. Key shortcut | 13:29 |
| Leefmc | (Alt T, something) | 13:29 |
| m1dn1ght | Oh - sorry mate. Misunderstood the question | 13:29 |
| Leefmc | np | 13:29 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc, you can set it up..under keyboad shortcuts in sys>prefs | 13:30 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0: Ah, ty | 13:30 |
| NameTaken | *sob* i can't find font settings in xfce | 13:30 |
| Leefmc | photosinensis: Well, i used that command and it did not upgrade FireFox3, is this just how it is with linux? Using the latest software is often not cared about? (I'm not trashing, honest.. that just sounds harsh heh) | 13:31 |
| m1dn1ght | Shift Alt T by default I think | 13:31 |
| anirudh0 | m1dn1ght, not by default..default is unset | 13:31 |
| photosinensis | Well, that just checked for updates. Now run "gksudo update-manager", and if Firefox is ready in the repos, you'll get it. | 13:31 |
| anirudh0 | photosinensis, its there is some repos, but not in others yet..still syncing perhaps | 13:32 |
| photosinensis | And just so you know, version numbers on packages in the repositories lie. I've seen many occasions where there was code backported from newer versions. | 13:32 |
| tornmean9-AGC | can some one help me with installation ive tried few times to install ubuntu 8.04 but when i go for the install it goes to black screen with text saying i/o under run error then something bout dev hda error hard drive not being ready | 13:32 |
| photosinensis | Yeah, it's probably still syncing with the mirrors. | 13:32 |
| photosinensis | When I get to the Ubuntu side of this box today, I'll have to check on things. | 13:32 |
| * photosinensis is currently downloading KDE for Mac, just to check it out | 13:33 | |
| m1dn1ght | Anirudh0 - I must have set that up months ago and forgot about it :) Just assumed it had been there all along - my bad | 13:33 |
| m1dn1ght | Hey guys. Having some trouble using my webcam in Ubuntu. Trying to use the cheese program to capture video but the program keeps crashing. I've taken the info from the system log and hopefully this means something to someone: http://pastebin.com/m1de8c45e | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 13:33 |
| pgdx | I'm having some networking troubles on a fresh install of hardy! I have got IP address, and I can ping google.com, but when trying to download through port 80 (wget / firefox) I get timed out. Any ideas? | 13:33 |
| Leefmc | photosinensis: So why do the linux crew prefer this slightly slower way of getting updates? Is it a reliability thing? Is it a feeling of "yay, something is in the package manager, which i know is good because its tested", and thus you are willing to wait for slightly slower updates? | 13:34 |
| photosinensis | A part of it is quality assurance: we know the code is good and plays well with everything. | 13:34 |
| brobostigon | hi, i am using 8.04, and am trying to run skype, preferences seems to setup the sound without problem.however when i try to call echotest, it comes back with error "problem with audio capture", any ideas anyone? | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | pgdx: are you fully updated? | 13:35 |
| thehurley | photosinensis, KOS_, did the post make sense? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | pgdx: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:35 |
| photosinensis | The other thing is that having a unified system of updates allows us to check in one place in the event something major happens. | 13:35 |
| magnetron | brobostigon: how did you install skype | 13:35 |
| pgdx | ActionParsnip: downloaded 8,04 ISO today, but apt doesn't work since I'm having problems with my network | 13:35 |
| brobostigon | medibuntu | 13:35 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: indeed, having something in the repose (especially the main one) is a guarantee that it's gonna work right with the rest of the system | 13:35 |
| robg_ | brobostigon: I have heard more reports on failing sound capture, where playback seems to work ok. | 13:35 |
| reven | Hi, Is there anyway to reinstall ubuntu from command line? | 13:36 |
| photosinensis | For example, if you look in the topic, there's something about a major security bug in Ubuntu's OpenSSL implementation (which was inherited from Debian). | 13:36 |
| pgdx | ActionParsnip: "Waiting for headers ..." | 13:36 |
| Leefmc | photosinensis: Should i check there first for _all_ software, and only download from the site if its not in there? For Example i need to download WingIDE, should i be in the habit of looking to the repos first? | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pgdx: thats cool, but check for updates due | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pgdx: update first, then let us know how you go | 13:36 |
| NameTaken | my thuntar file manager has huge font, even the file manager settings does -.- | 13:36 |
| brobostigon | robg_: have you heard a solution? | 13:36 |
| photosinensis | I recommend only downloading from the repositories, and only taking from the sites that which isn't available through them in the first place. | 13:36 |
| pgdx | ActionParsnip: how can I update without network connection? | 13:36 |
| photosinensis | This way you know you're getting coordinated updates on everything. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pgdx: i thought you had one, just it was slow | 13:37 |
| robg_ | brobostigon: not yet and I haven't configured sound capture myself yet. | 13:37 |
| dthacker | How can I search for a package that will include libgpod.so.3.0? | 13:37 |
| photosinensis | Also, applying those updates is much easier through the package manager than it is through raw source code. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dthacker: sudo apt-get install libgpod.so.3.0 | 13:37 |
| photosinensis | (Trust me on this one: you do not want to return to the days of the half-implemented package manager in early Fedora releases) | 13:37 |
| thehurley | dthacker, sudo aptitude search libgpod | 13:38 |
| ifireball | dthacker: I find searching in packages.ubuntu.com is the easiest way to go about this | 13:38 |
| dthacker | ActionParsnip: that's not a package name | 13:38 |
| brobostigon | robg_: i have tried ekiga and it does something similer, it says"failed to open sound device" even though, ekiga is the only prog open accessing the sound. | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dthacker: try sudo apt-get install gpod | 13:38 |

| photosinensis | thehurley: give me the output of "lsmod | grep ndiswrapper" | 13:39 |

| magnetron | SndbaD: you need flash | 13:40 |
| thehurley | photosinensis, nothing is returned | 13:40 |
| photosinensis | That's...not good. | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | SndbaD: looks like it needs flash. you installed flash? | 13:41 |
| photosinensis | Try using "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" | 13:41 |
| nanoprobe | ok | 13:41 |
| thehurley | photosinensis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15984/ | 13:42 |
| Leefmc | So in theory, how long will it take for package manager to get updates? I mean, RC1 is great, been out for a few days atleast (maybe a week?), how much longer? | 13:43 |
| thehurley | photosinensis, and the lights on the card have now turned on | 13:43 |

| jnw222 | hi | 13:44 |
| nanoprobe | hi | 13:45 |
| photosinensis | thehurley: This should happen every time now. If it gives you trouble, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper should do the trick | 13:45 |
| photosinensis | nanoprobe: we're still working on updating Firefox, right? | 13:45 |
| jnw222 | i love ubuntu | 13:45 |

| Dutt | i need help please im having gfx driver problems | 14:15 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: No, i downloaded a "ubuntu installer" from the website, as the program wasn't listed in the package manager to begin with | 14:15 |
| lance | I just did | 14:15 |
| photosinensis | What does "sudo ndiswrapper -l" give you again? I forgot. | 14:15 |
| SnakeArt | I really need some help with canon pixma mp210. My ubuntu doesn't seem to notice that there's a new device connected. | 14:15 |
| === Paijo_paimin is now known as qiusi | ||
| lance | I made a note of the page....until I can figure out how to Bookmark the site | 14:16 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0: Whats the exact command? sudo apt-file isn't found, not just apt-file | 14:16 |
| === qiusi is now known as qiuci | ||
| erUSUL | !ask | Dutt | 14:16 |
| nubotu | Dutt: 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. :-) | 14:16 |
| robg_ | SnakeArt: go the the driver list and pick a pixma 180 driver. | 14:16 |
| alan_m | lance, great, as you can tell, ubuntu's community is huge :) | 14:16 |

| Entranced | any idea why when I'm running update manager, I get a msg. that the Upgrade will be partial...? | 14:17 |
| alan_m | lance, yeah our distribution is kinda big...actually...really small compared to some though ;) | 14:17 |
| SnakeArt | robg_: You think, that it may work with 64bit? I see no list of printers, and in device info there's no new usb device too. | 14:17 |
| alan_m | Entranced, that means that update manager couldnt get them all, the packages could break eachother if you got a full update, some of the packages just dont work with eachother. | 14:18 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: well, then it depends on wither the installer plays nich with the package manager, most stand alone installers don't. (an installer is kinda opposed to the package manager philosophy) | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | Entranced: you have proposed enabled? | 14:18 |
| === Paijo_paimin is now known as silsila | ||
| Entranced | lemme see | 14:18 |
| robg_ | SnakeArt: there is a driver list there somwhere. I also have Canon MP210 running. | 14:18 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: So what do you do normally? Since there have to be a ton of programs not in the manager | 14:18 |
| nanoprobe | photosinensis: | 14:19 |
| nanoprobe | bcmwl6 : driver installed | 14:19 |
| nanoprobe | device (14E4:4315) present | 14:19 |

| SnakeArt | robg_: Wow. You've got all ther features working? I mean, scanning? | 14:19 |
| lance_ | I am OK with Win2K and XP...some OSX | 14:19 |

| lance_ | that's what I was trying for get to this morning | 14:20 |
| erUSUL | Entranced: alan_m is right do not accept the partial upgrade (i learned it the hard way :( ) | 14:20 |
| Dutt | I used Wubi-8.04 to install ubuntu and then booted it up. it booted no probs and asked me to update alot of stuff (gfx Driver) was one of them, then it asked me to reboot but after that i can still boot it up but i cant see anything and my screen turns off. does anyone know how i can fix this? | 14:20 |
| Entranced | erUSUL, I don't recall enabling that before... weird | 14:20 |
| SnakeArt | robg_: Ok. I will try to work on it. Thanks. | 14:20 |

| === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal | ||
| robg_ | SanekArt: try a re-config from start. I had to wrestle with it a bit. | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | Entranced: if you are not willing to resolve problems proposed is not adviced for normal users. Backports maybe proposed no | 14:21 |
| alan_m | erusul, me too....thats why i jumped ion on that | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hi al, is there a 64bit java plugin for firefox | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | !envy | pawan | 14:21 |
| nubotu | pawan: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 14:21 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: I try to find a compatible program in the manager (also make sure you enable the multiverse repos, they add a LOT of stuff), is its not in multivers its pretty much an indication that its a little known and unsupported piece of software, or its proprietary | 14:21 |
| pawan | nvidia 5200 drivers through envy | 14:21 |
| Entranced | erUSUL, Gotcha! I just disabled the proposed... left backports alone... update manager just went away | 14:21 |
| programmer01 | why php5 is not working ? I've installed and loaded libapache2-mod-php5 | 14:22 |

| yamanickill | ok, i know this question has been beaten to death with a big bamboo stick, but i'm looking for an itunes library alternative, for the video side. cause i can download music, thats fine, but i want something to download tv shows legally | 14:24 |
| eraldo | with kmod-nvidia I had an entry in the Menu saying Nvidia Settings | 14:24 |
| nanoprobe | photosinensis: i'm not shure if you understand what my problem is. the driver is installed (you saw it), but i can't enable it, wlan indicator is not on and the standard key-combination that works in vista does not work here in linux | 14:24 |
| programmer01 | i've got it | 14:24 |
| ifireball | yamanickill: try Miro | 14:24 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: Yea, seems WingIDE (http://wingware.com/downloads) is not on it | 14:24 |
| yamanickill | is it legal ifireball? looks good though | 14:25 |
| eraldo | does anyone have the N7600GT too and is willing to guide me ? | 14:25 |
| ifireball | yamanickill: as legal as it gets | 14:25 |
| yamanickill | lol ok | 14:25 |
| photosinensis | The wlan device doesn't have an external switch, does it? | 14:25 |
| Entranced | eraldo, Have you tried nvidia-settings package ? | 14:25 |
| yamanickill | any other options from anyone just so i can get a spectrum? | 14:26 |
| ttt-- | how can i empty the recyclebin in ubuntu? i lost the desktop shortcut | 14:26 |
| ttt-- | is that just /tmp? | 14:26 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: well, its matter of preference, I'd just use Anjuta which is in the repos... I'm not sure Wing is eve open-source | 14:26 |
| usama | hey i think my compiz-fusion is not working good, whenever i toggle the desktopcube the view is from INSIDE the cube, HELP??!!! | 14:27 |
| lance_ | Thanks for the help today...I am moving on to the wiki pages | 14:27 |

| usama | hey i think my compiz-fusion is not working good, whenever i toggle the desktopcube the view is from INSIDE the cube, HELP??!!! | 14:28 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: Nope, closed. Well, you can get the source if you sign an NDA | 14:28 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: though, if you installed the deb package you should be able to see it in synaptic | 14:28 |
| cakey|laptop | how do i install the internet | 14:28 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: I did, and synaptic is the apps dropdown? | 14:28 |
| Roums | robg_ it doesn't work in my case... it says bad magi number in bloc.... although testdisk seemed to find some superblocks | 14:28 |
| affection82mama | cakey: cp /internet . | 14:28 |
| robg_ | Roums: what was your problem ? | 14:29 |
| Roums | With some tools I could recover some corrupted data, but I guess most of files on the HD should be unaffected... | 14:29 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: Synaptic is System->Administration->Synaptic package manager | 14:29 |
| usama | cakey|laptop: sudo apt-get install internet ...hahah | 14:29 |
| ttt-- | thanks, yamanickill | 14:29 |
| Entranced | cakey|laptop, Internet is just series of tubes.... you should be able to get it installed just fine --> "aptitude install internet-tubes" | 14:29 |
| Roums | robg_ a bit... complex, but to make it simple, i got a ext2 hd, accidentally added in a ZFS pool, (raidz), but only a few gigs were transfered on the pool before seeing the mistake | 14:29 |
| cakey|laptop | thanks | 14:29 |
| cakey|laptop | :D | 14:29 |
| Roums | so I try to backup the drive | 14:29 |
| cakey|laptop | my computer is installing the internet now | 14:30 |
| Roums | I wonder if I can rebuild the ext2 fs | 14:30 |
| Entranced | I forgot sudo | 14:30 |

| ActionParsnip | cakey|laptop: nice, thatll take a few millenia | 14:30 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: if you don't get an entry in the Applications drop-down once you've installed the *.deb file, it just meant they don't give too much effort into making their package top-quality (all the more reason to use the repos...) | 14:30 |
| SnakeArt | After update from 7.10 to 8.04, do I lost my previous settings and system configuration? | 14:30 |
| petur | i just baught a Dell XPS 1330 with a Nvidia 8400M GS, and I need the nvidia-glx-new to be installed | 14:30 |
| petur | but after reboot it dont work, and my res is f**** up | 14:31 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: I've been using them for a long time, i'm picky with IDEs heh. Im fine with no icon :) | 14:31 |
| petur | anyone have an ide how to install this? | 14:31 |
| robg_ | Roums: if you cannot repair a broken system, then save files to removable disks, wipe disk clean with gparted and re-install. | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | petur: did you run nvidia-settings ? | 14:31 |
| programmer01 | what ? | 14:31 |
| cakey|laptop | yes petur | 14:31 |
| cakey|laptop | sudo apt-get install this | 14:31 |

| cakey|laptop | your welcome | 14:31 |
| petur | ActionParsnip: what should i do? | 14:31 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: What would you do about Flash? Thats not in the manager either is it? | 14:31 |
| programmer01 | nvidia-xconfig ? | 14:31 |
| Erosion | How can I install the zlib devel package for ubuntu-server? | 14:32 |
| fanch_ | re | 14:32 |
| Roums | robg_ yes but files I 'recover' are corrupted... so it is useless to save them... and as only 10 Gb were transferred on a 500 GB drive, I am pretty sure most files are unaffected | 14:32 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: well, I suppose adding an icon is easy, just use System->Preferences->Main Menu | 14:32 |
| Roums | there should be a way to get them back | 14:32 |
| jrib | Erosion: apt-cache search -n zlib dev | 14:32 |
| petur | programmer01: what should i do in nvidia-xconfig? | 14:32 |
| ifireball | Leefmc: sure it is, it the restricted repo I think | 14:32 |
| Leefmc | ifireball: N/m, flash is in there. just not "supported" | 14:32 |
| ifireball | !flash | 14:32 |
| Leefmc | yea | 14:32 |
| petur | any link to a "how to" :) | 14:32 |
| nubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 14:32 |

| kenois_ | anyone else experiencing problems with virtualbox after the last update? | 14:34 |
| Roums | robg_ it is not really a choice, i don't see the point in saving corrupted files no ? | 14:34 |
| SnakeArt | Do I need to reconfigure anything after update from 7.10 to 8.04 using update-manager? | 14:34 |
| photosinensis | Not that I know of, but keep asking around, and someone may have an answer. | 14:34 |
| NeoAngelus | Pardon my intrusion, but is this the place where I can ask questions about- using the Festival(TTS) in my C++ application on Ubuntu 7.04? | 14:34 |

| donaldbane | anybody want to take control of my terminal and sort out a problem? Is that even possible | 14:34 |
| jonathan_ | I've a problem with compiz | 14:34 |
| robg_ | Roums: people re-install their systems 3 or 4 times a year for all sorts of reasons. It pays to plan for future failures and future re-installs. | 14:35 |
| mohkohn | donaldbane, I guess you don't do internet banking on your computer | 14:35 |
| nanoprobe | photosinensis: could you be so kind and put my nick at the line start. this way i must read the whole chat all the time to be shure i don't miss your answers :D | 14:36 |
| jonathan_ | i installed it and it works :) but when i'm using the cube (including setting the desktops to 4 etc), my kicker (I'm using kubuntu) displayes the apps of ALL Desktops, not only the ones that are running on the actuall desktop | 14:36 |
| mulder | I can't seem to install updates/upgrades right now. I get "could not calculate the upgrade" message | 14:36 |
| jonathan_ | hw can i change this? | 14:36 |
| Roums | robg_ I never said that it was the system disk which had a problem, it is a data disk... and I was doing a backup on a raidz pool, unfortunately i lost the backup, so I HAVE to get this back | 14:36 |
| akazawa | how do I mount a usb sd-card reader?> | 14:36 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: I don't think so since this issue isn't particular to Ubuntu, you'll have better luck asking question in a general festival forum/chat | 14:37 |
| === Cusp`idle is now known as honorsys | ||
| donaldbane | see what you mean. | 14:37 |
| NeoAngelus | ifireball: Thank you, then I will try find one. May I ask a question related to this...do you know a Speech Recognition program/API for Ubuntu? | 14:38 |
| nanoprobe | photosinensis: is there a way to enable Fn key in linux? | 14:38 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: the only ubuntu-specific thing about it is that you'll probably want to install the festival-dev and festival-doc packages and maybe build-essential if you don't have it already | 14:38 |
| Dutt | ok im haveing gfx driver problems, is there a way i can install a driver package with the terminal before i boot ubuntu up? | 14:38 |
| jeroen- | whats up with the updates? | 14:39 |
| jeroen- | today | 14:39 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: Like I said, at this level things aren't ubuntu-specific, so what work on Linux should work on Ubuntu, having said that, Ubuntu seems to include the festival runtime by default | 14:39 |
| jonathan_ | no ideas how to solve my problem? | 14:39 |
| petur | i just baught a Dell XPS 1330 with a Nvidia 8400M GS, and I need the nvidia-glx-new to be installed | 14:40 |
| NeoAngelus | ifireball: the festival-dev, that is probably the part I am missing, because the compiler misses some header files. | 14:40 |
| petur | but after reboot it dont work, and my res fucks up | 14:40 |

| zvacet | etronik : in your source list replace dapper with hardy and sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade | 14:59 |
| ben_underscore | ifireball: haven't used it for ages but recall it did everything it meant to | 15:00 |
| NeoAngelus | ifireball: thank you so much I found the files(had the file installed all along strange it didn't find it in the search) Now I can try to compile, really thank you!(then it is even easier to find the book) | 15:01 |

| slave | my network will not work but when its on the live cd it will, i dont understand why it dose not work when not on the live cd | 15:01 |
| yamanickill | Execulantizator | 15:01 |
| zvacet | Tux2K8 : from synaptic I supose | 15:01 |
| etronik | zvacet: Hi from yesterday :-) what is the expected result of that ?? in what is it different from the update-manager process ? | 15:01 |
| derspankster | Just upgraded my desktop from Gutsy to Hardy. Can't load Nvidia driver, resolution is wrong, Synaptic won't start, along with many other issues. Where to start? | 15:01 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: anything to create a successful Linux developer, you guys are IMPORTANT ;) | 15:01 |
| zvacet | etronik : results should be the same and that is solution if nothing else working | 15:02 |
| un1t | narf! | 15:02 |
| etronik | zvacet: ok I think I'll try that !! last question: what's the risk factor of hosing the whole thing ? :-) | 15:03 |
| zvacet | etronik : it is very strange that you can not do upgrade from alternate CD | 15:03 |
| etronik | zvacet: I have LVM volumes (but not on the / volume not /home), would thatbe the problem ? | 15:03 |
| Dutt | i guess no one can help me | 15:04 |
| zvacet | etronik : risk is involved so you better back up your files if you have separate home even better (recommended) | 15:04 |
| derspankster | Dutt, be patient | 15:04 |
| alan_m | dutt, patience is a virtue in here :) | 15:04 |
| Dutt | yep | 15:04 |
| icqnumber_ | how to set kdm as default menager instead of gdm and another away around? | 15:05 |
| zvacet | etronik : now you are telling me that I never worked with LVM so it will be unfair to give you any advice concerning that | 15:05 |
| alan_m | icqnumber, install kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop (kde and gnome respectively) | 15:05 |
| alan_m | icqnumber, in sessions on the login screen it will ask you when you switch if you wish to set it as the default. | 15:06 |
| ifireball | icqnumber: just install one and remove the other | 15:06 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber: If you are currently using GDM and want to switch to KDM, just do this: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" And do vice-versa if you are currently using KDM... | 15:06 |
| Xpistos | Has anyone had a problem with hardy and freeze ups or crashes. I get them with no consistency. Compiz Related? | 15:06 |
| icqnumber_ | ifireball: i want them both | 15:06 |
| zvacet | etronik : but common sense(if I have one) tell that should be common upgrade because root and home are not on LVM | 15:07 |
| icqnumber_ | alan_m: i do not want to set up the default session! | 15:07 |
| ifireball | icqnumber: then use the dpkg-reconfigure like Steve-Cal said | 15:07 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal: thank you | 15:08 |
| Xpistos | I also have another question: I am a linux newb and I want to setup a file and print server, but don't want to use a KVM. What is the best way to admin the server to login from another system? | 15:08 |
| etronik | zvacet: I also thought that , but one never knows... especially a noob like me :) | 15:08 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber_: No problem. :) | 15:08 |
| Xpistos | Thanks ahead of time peeps | 15:08 |
| etronik | Xpistos: webmin | 15:09 |
| Condrad | hi i'm new to linux and was wondering what the advantages of ubuntu are vs the other distributions | 15:09 |
| zvacet | etronik : yes,you never knows maybe I don´t have common sense | 15:09 |
| Condrad | what comes "out of the box" with ubuntu? | 15:09 |
| ibbuntu | I accidentally removed my network icon from my panel, how do I get it back? I've tried adding the network monitor, from the add to panel menu but this is not the same thing. | 15:09 |
| anders | I just deleted two files from an ext3 file system, I just realized one of them (a *.vdi) file should not have been deleted, is there any way for me to recover this file? | 15:09 |
| etronik | Xpistos: I run my server headless (not now of course trying to upgrade it) burt I access it thru Xvnc or Webmin | 15:09 |
| philsf | Condrad: what do you need? | 15:09 |
| alan_m | conrad, its easier to deal with (most of the time), conrad it comes with a lot of different things, such as gimp (an image editor) | 15:09 |
| Condrad | webserver apache/[h[/mysql and smtp email server | 15:10 |
| Condrad | *php | 15:10 |
| alan_m | philsf, he was asking what comes out of the box with ubuntu. | 15:10 |
| philsf | alan_m: I know | 15:10 |
| Xpistos | etronik: So that is like remotely logging in on a windows server? | 15:10 |
| Xpistos | does the program have to be on both the server and client | 15:10 |
| icqnumber_ | one more question, how can i remove the bootsplash-this ubuntu logo, to see kernel messages? | 15:10 |
| etronik | Xpistos: the Xvnc yeah is like remote desktop, webmin is a web mgmt console with lots of functionality | 15:11 |
| philsf | Condrad: are you familiar with package tasks? there are tasks that auto-selects bundles for those things | 15:11 |
| etronik | Xpistos: I think plain remote desktop can access Ubuntu remotely... | 15:11 |
| Xpistos | etronik: Your opinion, which is better? Which is easier | 15:11 |
| icqnumber_ | !bootsplash | 15:11 |
| nubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash, try looking on http://stdin.me.uk/bot/factoids.cgi | 15:11 |
| etronik | Xpistos: between webmin and VNC ?? | 15:12 |
| alan_m | !info splash | 15:12 |
| nubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about info splash, try looking on http://stdin.me.uk/bot/factoids.cgi | 15:12 |
| Xpistos | etronik: VNC? | 15:12 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal: one more question, how can i remove the bootsplash-this ubuntu logo, to see kernel messages? | 15:12 |
| alan_m | meh, i tried ;/ | 15:12 |
| Condrad | philsf: i'm not familiar with package rasks, are you refering to edubuntu and kbuntu? | 15:12 |
| etronik | Xpistos: different beasts for different tasks | 15:12 |
| Condrad | *tasks | 15:12 |
| RedCell | I have a Logitech AK5370 USB mic, and it records in Audacity but it will not show up in WineCFG, nor show up in Ventrilo. Anyone able to help? | 15:12 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber_: You can modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file--do you need help with that? | 15:12 |
| Xpistos | etronik: okay I will look n | 15:12 |
| Xpistos | into both and try and get a feel. thanks for the advice my friend | 15:13 |
| philsf | Condrad: no, those are derivative distributions | 15:13 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal: i quess yes | 15:13 |
| etronik | Xpistos: webmin when I want to manage any server component/service, Remote I use rarely when I want to access some specific Linux desktop app, or Putty for simple command line access | 15:13 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal: do i need to set up splash=0 or something like that, what are the settings? | 15:14 |
| alan_m | !webmin > alan_m | 15:14 |
| philsf | Condrad: basically, there are bundles to auto-select packages for webserver, dns server, file server, printer server, etc | 15:14 |
| Condrad | philsf: ok, so if I install ubuntu do I have to establish package tasks, effectively ticking off the things I want? | 15:14 |
| nanoprobe | !info fn keys | 15:14 |
| nubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about info fn keys, try looking on http://stdin.me.uk/bot/factoids.cgi | 15:14 |
| philsf | Condrad: yes | 15:14 |
| Condrad | philsf: excellent, is the cd iso image I am downloading now going to prompt me? | 15:15 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal: is there a howto or something similar, i can not find anything usefull | 15:15 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber_: I think all you have to do is remove the "quiet splash" options at the end of the kernel line, and also remove "quiet" after init.d. | 15:15 |
| philsf | Condrad: which one are you downloading? | 15:15 |
| philsf | Condrad: not the desktop one, I presume? | 15:15 |
| legend2440 | icqnumber_: if you instal startupmanager in synaptic you can do that with a gui program | 15:16 |
| Condrad | philsf: 8.04 desktop 1386 | 15:16 |
| Condrad | *i386 | 15:16 |
| Condrad | philsf: yes | 15:16 |
| icqnumber_ | !info startupmanager | 15:16 |
| nubotu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:16 |
| philsf | Condrad: you can install anything with any installation disk, but those bundles are not "out of the box" for a desktop | 15:16 |
| icqnumber_ | ste | 15:17 |
| Steve-Cal | legend2440: I would be wary of that program... When I ran it, it changed my menu.lst so that it ONLY gave me options to load Ubuntu--not my other partitions. I found no way around that flaw either, but maybe I didn't try hard enough. | 15:17 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal, legend2440 thank you for help | 15:17 |
| alan_m | !info bootup-manager | 15:17 |
| nubotu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:17 |
| philsf | Condrad: but the metapackages make it easy enough for you to select bundles without having to know the packages you need previously | 15:17 |
| alan_m | meh, i know its that, where do the hyphens go though? lol | 15:17 |
| Condrad | philsf: ok I think I am getting you, I have been a linux "user" of websrevers for a while so i kind of know the basics, but I have never had to "choose" a distribution before and i'm kind of stuck here on my own so thanks for your advice | 15:18 |
| tARrAScH | Hi, sometimes when I login (like this time), my desktop doesn't has any icons on it, and there is no pop-up-menu when i rightclick the desktop. What's the name of the process that is repsonsible for it, and how can i fix the problem? | 15:18 |
| nek | Enter text here...GIA | 15:19 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber_: No problem, and if you really want to try that "startupmanager" I would highly recommend backing up your menu.lst first in case you need it back like I did. | 15:19 |
| nek | ANY GIRL ? | 15:19 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber: But I personally can't recommend "startupmanager" at this point. | 15:19 |
| jrib | !ot | nek | 15:19 |
| nubotu | nek: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:19 |
| philsf | Condrad: of course, if you already know the programs you need (in your case, apache, mysql, etc) it's even easier. I don't think it makes much difference from one distro to another | 15:19 |
| icqnumber_ | Steve-Cal: lol okey, will do this for sure, have you just tried? | 15:19 |
| nek | JRIB YOU ARE A GIRL? | 15:20 |
| alan_m | jrib, ive got $20 on that would probably be a bot. | 15:20 |
| lw0x15 | lol | 15:20 |
| Myrtti | nek: do you have problems with Ubuntu Linux? | 15:20 |
| jrib | nek: I suggest that you read what nubotu just told you. Please stay on topic here. The topic is ubuntu support | 15:20 |
| Steve-Cal | icqnumber: What do you mean? I tried StartupManager and did not have a good experience with it, so I gave up on it. | 15:20 |
| zvacet | nek : id this become date chanel | 15:20 |
| Myrtti | nek: this is a channel for ubuntu support | 15:20 |
| smallfoot- | IS IT A GIRL??????? | 15:20 |

| PPKuma | lol | 15:21 |

| Myrtti | can we just ignore non-support things and focus here... | 15:21 |
| PPKuma | hi, im editing my fstab... do i need the UUID of the device? | 15:21 |
| clarezoe | I don't have internet in my virtualbox，anyone can help? | 15:21 |
| alan_m | sure myrtti :) | 15:22 |
| sirfre1 | Hi. Just a question, who's responsible of starting gvfs-fuse-daemon? My 8.04 upgraded from 7.10 doesn't start it. | 15:22 |
| jrib | PPKuma: you don't *need* it | 15:22 |
| jrib | !uuid | PPKuma | 15:22 |
| nubotu | PPKuma: 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) | 15:22 |
| clarezoe | I'm using Sun xVM VirtualBox, host : ubuntu hardy, guest windows XP | 15:22 |
| dabang | PPKuma: I'd use UUID... | 15:22 |
| Steve-Cal | clarezoe: Probably the folks in #vbox can help you better. | 15:22 |
| PPKuma | jrib: thanks | 15:23 |
| dabang | PPKuma: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 15:23 |
| PPKuma | dabang... i think ie just find the uuid i was looking for | 15:23 |
| mro1 | am i in the right place to be asking about issues with laptops/notebooks, or is there a separate channel for that? | 15:23 |
| clarezoe | S秀 | 15:23 |
| clarezoe | Steve-Cal, thanks | 15:23 |
| jrib | mro1: you're in the right place, welcome | 15:24 |
| alan_m | mro1, you can ask here :) | 15:24 |
| Starnestommy | mro1: any issues related to ubuntu are welcome here | 15:24 |
| etronik | zvacet: sudo aptitude full-upgrade - is wrong command, any ideas besides full-upgrade ? | 15:25 |
| pusoicafe | #cebu | 15:25 |
| PPKuma | ok... this is weird... i have the device in fstab... but i still have to mount it everytime i boot | 15:25 |
| mro1 | excellent. i'm having trouble coming out of suspend with my notebook (gateway m-1617, ati radeon x1200 series, flgrx) | 15:25 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: Maybe pastebin your fstab and someone might be able to help... | 15:25 |
| nanoprobe | problem: wireles, hardware present, driver installed ... but can't enable it, since i don't have a hardware key for it, and Fn key doesn't work in linux (now). anyone has any idea how to force Fn key to work in linux enviroment? plz | 15:25 |
| etronik | zvacet: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade ? | 15:26 |
| zvacet | etronik :yes | 15:26 |
| igorleliza | hello there, can someone help me with crontab? | 15:26 |
| alan_m | !pastebin | PPKuma | 15:26 |
| nubotu | PPKuma: 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) | 15:26 |
| philsf | igorleliza: have you read the manpage? | 15:27 |
| zvacet | etronik : but full-upgrade should work look in man aptitude | 15:27 |
| PPKuma | here it is http://rafb.net/p/yiqlZb87.html | 15:27 |
| igorleliza | yes | 15:27 |
| igorleliza | i can add command to crontab | 15:27 |
| g00dbar | 1337 +1 | 15:27 |
| igorleliza | but is not executing them for some reason | 15:27 |
| g00dbar | -1 | 15:27 |
| Dante123 | hi all, I lost my trash can....How can I get it back or can I empty if via cli | 15:27 |
| philsf | igorleliza: do you receive an email with the error? | 15:28 |
| igorleliza | philsf no | 15:28 |
| igorleliza | philsf: just nothing | 15:28 |
| philsf | igorleliza: was the command supposed to generate output? | 15:28 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: Which partition is not mounting at boot time? | 15:28 |
| etronik | zvacet: on the command line I now see that aptitude found 20 conflicts it cannot resolve.. some messages relate to python... I'll try un-installing it to see the effect | 15:28 |
| alan_m | dante, you can get it back by right clicking a panel and clicking add to panel....finding "trash" and adding it back. | 15:28 |
| igorleliza | philsf: no, it doesnt have to generate output | 15:29 |
| Dante123 | hi all, I lost my trash can....How can I get it back or can I empty if via cli | 15:29 |
| Dante123 | When I try to add to panel, nothing shows up | 15:29 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: sda8 | 15:29 |
| igorleliza | philsf: it looks very simple i just wanna shutdown the machine. | 15:29 |
| alan_m | Dante123, meh..thats not good :/ | 15:29 |
| NeoAngelus | ifireball: I got a step further in the compiling process, no more include errors of any kind(sadly enough a lot of reference errors...) May I ask another quick question about libraries, do they still have the *.lib extension? or is it *.a?(still finding my way with IRC too) | 15:29 |
| philsf | igorleliza: what's the cron line? | 15:30 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: i think the problem might be i recently formated it in ext3 | 15:30 |
| Starnestommy | igorleliza: you might need to add the command to root's crontab | 15:30 |
| philsf | igorleliza: also, do you want to periodically shutdown, or just once? | 15:30 |
| igorleliza | philsf: 30 15 * * * shutdown -h now | 15:30 |
| igorleliza | philsf: so shutdown my machine every day at half past 3, is it correct? | 15:31 |
| alan_m | Dante123, /home/[user]/.local/share/Trash is where your trash is stored | 15:31 |
| philsf | igorleliza: this is from the root's crontab, right? | 15:31 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: In your fstab you have sda8 as a "vfat" file system... is it windows? But you say it's now ext3? Please explain. | 15:31 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: uuid looks wrong type sudo blkid in terminal and compare | 15:31 |
| philsf | igorleliza: not a user acount? | 15:31 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: my C is rusty, but as far as I remember, *.lib if for dynamic linking and *.a is for static | 15:32 |
| igorleliza | philsf: well I am editing the cron as myself, igor@ubuntu: crontab -e ? | 15:32 |
| giovanni | kill mr bill | 15:32 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: the thing is that in the intallation I chose the fat32 format for linux and windows to play nice with the partition | 15:32 |
| philsf | igorleliza: no, you don't have permission to run shutdown, by default | 15:33 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: e.g. I *think* the linker uses the *.a at compile time, and your program then loads the *.lib at runtime | 15:33 |
| === matthew__ is now known as Talcite | ||
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: but then i learn about the limitations of fat32 in large files | 15:33 |
| Talcite | hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my apache setup. All my pages say 403: forbidden | 15:33 |
| philsf | igorleliza: try putting this cronline in root's crontab, or /etc/crontab | 15:33 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: so i reformated the drive to ext3 | 15:33 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: If you do "sudo fdisk -l" what filesystem does it say it is? | 15:33 |
| philsf | igorleliza: note the /etc/crontab syntax is slightly different, if you choose that | 15:34 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: this is why the runtime packages include the *.lib files while the *-deb packages include the *.a and *.h files | 15:34 |
| Starnestommy | Talcite: make sure that the pages are owned by www-data | 15:34 |
| Talcite | Starnestommy: owned? or read accessible? | 15:34 |
| mohkohn | Is there a way for me to share my wireless connection using dhcp? | 15:34 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: I meant *-dev packages | 15:34 |
| Starnestommy | Talcite: or have read permissions for everyone | 15:34 |
| igorleliza | philsf: as root, crontab -e , 35 15 * * * amarok | 15:34 |
| sokol | ciao | 15:34 |
| sokol | !list | 15:34 |
| nubotu | I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 15:34 |
| mohkohn | ie. eth0 dhcp and wlan0 dhcp | 15:34 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: And I agree with legend2440, it looks like the UUID is suspicious too... Do like he says "sudo blkid" and check. | 15:34 |
| sokol | !list | 15:34 |
| philsf | igorleliza: amarok, or shutdown, after all? | 15:35 |
| mro1 | hi. i wasn't very specific with my original question, sorry. i'm having trouble coming out of suspend - indicator lights turn on, but the screen remains blank and seemingly unresponsive. (gateway m-1617, ati radeon x1200 series, fglrx). i've googled it a little and seen various "fixes," but haven't started mucking around making random changes in acpi related files. anyone able to help? | 15:35 |
| ubuntu_ | hi | 15:35 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: http://rafb.net/p/Y2EizQ21.html | 15:35 |
| alan_m | hello ubuntu_ | 15:35 |
| Talcite | Starnestommy: I have global read/execute permissions on the files | 15:35 |
| igorleliza | philsf: amarok , cause i dont wanna shutdown the machine now | 15:35 |
| Talcite | Its symlinked from the var/www directory | 15:35 |
| Talcite | would that make a difference? | 15:35 |
| ubuntu_ | i have no idea how to work irc, and im having tons of problems installing ubuntu | 15:35 |
| igorleliza | philsf: im using amarok to test it | 15:35 |
| philsf | igorleliza: what are you trying to do? | 15:35 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, thats ok, were here for ya :) | 15:36 |
| slanning | why did ubuntu remove the nvidia driver? - I didn't tell it to | 15:36 |
| zvacet | sokol : what do you want to ask | 15:36 |
| philsf | igorleliza: don't start GUI applications from cron | 15:36 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, what issues are ya having? | 15:36 |
| igorleliza | im trying to open now amarok at 15:36 | 15:36 |
| Talcite | I remember in fedora you need to have every parent directory also have world read/execute perms | 15:36 |
| philsf | igorleliza: it won't work | 15:36 |
| ubuntu_ | I can't get 8.04 to install | 15:36 |
| DjViper | ubuntu_: what sort of installion problems? | 15:36 |
| Talcite | is it the same case in ubuntu? | 15:36 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: Well, fdisk still thinks your partition is FAT32... you sure you reformatted it? | 15:36 |
| philsf | igorleliza: root doesn't have permission to open app windows in your user display | 15:36 |
| ubuntu_ | it stops at like 25% and says the cd or my hard drive is messed up | 15:36 |
| DjViper | ubuntu_: that's a big vague, can you be more specific? | 15:36 |
| igorleliza | philsf: so how can i do that? | 15:36 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: yes... now i have to mount the partition manually | 15:36 |
| sokol | ciao | 15:36 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, did you check the md5 sum? | 15:37 |
| sokol | !list | 15:37 |
| nubotu | I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 15:37 |
| DjViper | ubuntu_: did you dl and burn the cd? | 15:37 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: is in /media/disk | 15:37 |
| alan_m | !fr | sokol | 15:37 |

| Starnestommy | Talcite: it would probably be better to just change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default instead of using symlinks | 15:37 |
| ubuntu_ | i dont know how to check md5 sum | 15:37 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: here's blkid http://rafb.net/p/gBXKkd80.html | 15:37 |
| Talcite | Starnestommy: hmm. Good point. Thanks, I'll look into how to do it | 15:37 |
| DjViper | ubuntu_: you should probably just download and burn again | 15:37 |
| ubuntu_ | i've also tried 6.06, 7.04, 7.10 | 15:37 |
| DjViper | or order it | 15:37 |

| Dante123 | sorry dc'ed.....I am trying to free up more room on HD....but the recycle bin/trash can is not on my desktop or panels...tried adding it but it won't work.....anyway to empty trash via cli | 15:37 |
| DjViper | ubuntu_: do you burn as image? | 15:38 |
| ubuntu_ | i've tried 32 and 64 bit viper, probably 5 different cds, verified burning etc. | 15:38 |
| igorleliza | philsf: im trying to use cron to do that but im doing something wrong and i dont know what | 15:38 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: Well, your UUID in your fstab is definitely wrong then... you need to at least change that. | 15:38 |
| ubuntu_ | yes i burnt as iso, it reads the cds | 15:38 |
| alan_m | ubuntu, can you do something else for me then? (restart and check cd for defects) | 15:38 |
| philsf | igorleliza: I told you what | 15:38 |
| ubuntu_ | it just wont install | 15:38 |
| ubuntu_ | sure alan | 15:38 |
| NeoAngelus | ifireball: again thank you for the explanation, I will look into it. I am probably forgetting to link a library somewhere... | 15:38 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, i mean through the menu of course. | 15:38 |
| philsf | igorleliza: you can't shutdown directly with your account | 15:38 |
| ubuntu_ | i checked the cds | 15:38 |
| DjViper | ubuntu_: other cd's etc work well? | 15:38 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: ok, i'll replace it | 15:38 |
| ubuntu_ | and some say they do have defects | 15:38 |
| marshall | does anybody know a good DJ application? | 15:38 |
| zvacet | ubuntu_ : look link I send to you | 15:39 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, ive had that issue myself | 15:39 |
| ubuntu_ | like 6.06 cd had defects, but it was the only one that actually installed all the way through | 15:39 |
| igorleliza | philsf: how can i shutdown the computer at one time if im using my account then? | 15:39 |
| alan_m | zvacet, did you send that link in room? (im looking and cant find it) | 15:39 |
| philsf | igorleliza: do you want to shutdown at a given time periodically, or just once? | 15:39 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: what is the exact command you type to successfully mount sda8? | 15:39 |
| igorleliza | philsf: just one | 15:39 |

| adoul90 | hey guyz.. how can u switch between keyboard layouts in ubuntu?? | 15:40 |
| philsf | sudo at | 15:40 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: hmmm i actully use ubuntu gui for that | 15:40 |
| zvacet | alan_m : np | 15:40 |
| philsf | igorleliza: sudo at 15:30 | 15:40 |
| jrib | adoul90: system -> preferences -> keyboard | 15:40 |
| philsf | and enter the commands you want (shutdown -h now) | 15:40 |
| adoul90 | ya i added the keyboard i want | 15:40 |
| igorleliza | philsf: at means shutdown? | 15:40 |
| adoul90 | but how do i switch between tehm | 15:41 |
| adoul90 | ? | 15:41 |
| philsf | igorleliza: no, read man at | 15:41 |
| ChrisMir | Hi, I have ubuntu installed on sda3 partition with /boot on sda1 (and swap on sda2). I want kubuntu installed on sda5. What should I do with the boot partition? Can I use sda1 as boot partition for Kubuntu, while still being able to startup ubuntu on sda3? | 15:41 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: Ok just type "mount" at the command line, and see how sda8 is mounted... | 15:41 |
| jrib | adoul90: click on "layout options", it will tell you the shortcut | 15:41 |
| ubuntu_ | ok so what should i try now anyone? | 15:41 |
| icqnumber_ | !bootoptions | 15:41 |
| nubotu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 15:41 |
| jrib | adoul90: specifically, "Layout switching" | 15:41 |
| philsf | igorleliza: at executes a batch of "at" a given time | 15:41 |
| adoul90 | jrib: which one is it? | 15:41 |
| zvacet | adoul90 : right click on panel<add to oanel>keyboard indicator | 15:41 |
| adoul90 | thx | 15:42 |
| jrib | adoul90: which one is what? | 15:42 |
| PPKuma | Steve-Cal: /dev/sda8 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 15:42 |
| ubuntu_ | alan m you still there? | 15:42 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: Steve-Cal why would fdisk say sda8 is W95 FAT32 and blkid says its ext3? | 15:42 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, yeah, sorry buddy, was looking at the link provided earlier. | 15:42 |
| nanoprobe | @all: has anybody here succeed to force Fn key on laptops to work with linux? | 15:43 |
| ubuntu_ | thats ok | 15:43 |
| Dante123 | man am I having problems....can't empty trash and create more space. I wonder if upgrading 7.10 to 8.04 instead of clean install has something to do with it | 15:43 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: i think is because i reformated the partition reently from fat32 to ext3 | 15:43 |
| Dante123 | is there a way to empty recycle bin via cli | 15:43 |
| stueng | if I change my keyboard layout do I have to restart gnome applications or reboot or something ? | 15:43 |
| Steve-Cal | legend2440: That's exactly what I was wondering... ;) | 15:43 |
| philsf | Dante123: are you in gutsy or hardy? | 15:43 |
| alan_m | Dante123, i had problems upgrading myself, i feel your pain :) | 15:43 |
| igorleliza | philsf: thanks its really interesting, i can execute then amarok using at? | 15:43 |
| stueng | pressing both alts at the same time does not appear to be switching layouts | 15:43 |
| alan_m | stueng, what are you trying to do? | 15:44 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: what does partition editor say it is? | 15:44 |
| nanoprobe | stuend: just test the keys, u will know fast :) | 15:44 |
| ubuntu_ | alan m like i was saying, i've checked cds for defects, and some do have them, but some dont, and none of them worked for me except 6.06 (which was actually one of the cds with defects) | 15:44 |
| zvacet | ubuntu_ : if you still have iso download same one with torrent and point download to the folder where is your iso torrent will just check iso and replace corrupted files if any after that check md5sum and burn | 15:44 |
| nanoprobe | stueng: just test the keys, u will know fast :) | 15:44 |
| philsf | igorleliza: maybe, but then you'll have to set $DISPLAY var, and run as the same user that's logged in the GUI | 15:44 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: what does partition editor say it is? vfat or ext3? | 15:44 |
| Steve-Cal | PPKuma: Well, if you can successfully mount it as ext3, try using that in your fstab, but something is really suspicious since fdisk does not agree with blkid or mount. | 15:44 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: partition editor? | 15:44 |
| stueng | alan_m: I have a mac keyboard which in the UK layout cant type a hash - so I have to switch to american layout so I can type hash | 15:44 |
| philsf | igorleliza: maybe some other/less pre-requisites I'm not aware | 15:44 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: system>admin>partition editor | 15:44 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: what's the partition editor? fstab? | 15:44 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: oh | 15:45 |
| ubuntu_ | i dont have iso files now just the CDs i burnt | 15:45 |

| PPKuma | legend2440: i cant find the partition editor =/ | 15:46 |
| stueng | newubuntuuser: install compizconfig-settings-manager | 15:46 |
| newubuntuuser | jrib: thanks | 15:46 |
| jrib | newubuntuuser: in hardy, you want to install simple-ccsm instead | 15:46 |
| philsf | Dante123: then you probably want to clean the ..local/share/Trash/files and .local/share/Trash/info dirs | 15:46 |
| PPKuma | stueng: should i run that in console? | 15:46 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah, heres the thing, i've downloaded like 6-7 different isos over the past 2 days | 15:46 |
| NeoAngelus | ifireball: I'll have look at it...and otherwise I will try some more festival oriented forum(or something alike)...or start with a easier application. | 15:46 |
| stueng | PPKuma: press alt+f2 then type gksu gparted | 15:46 |
| ubuntu_ | so I seriously doubt they have all been bad | 15:46 |
| stueng | PPKuma: after you have apt-get install gparted | 15:46 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: sudo apt-get install gparted | 15:46 |
| ubuntu_ | assuming I have a good version, what would my next step be? | 15:46 |
| t1_ | broadcom | 15:47 |
| alan_m | checking the md5sum of that iso image | 15:47 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, checking the md5sum of that iso image | 15:47 |
| alan_m | sorry | 15:47 |
| nanoprobe | newubuntuuser: goto system->preferences->advanced desktop effects settings | 15:47 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: i have installed QtParted, is it okay? | 15:47 |
| ubuntu_ | but i have to have the iso to do that right? | 15:47 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, correct | 15:47 |
| nanoprobe | @all: has anybody here succeed to force Fn key on laptops to work with linux? | 15:47 |
| ubuntu_ | so i have to download the iso again inside the live cd environment and compare it to my live cd? | 15:47 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: sure what does that say ? | 15:47 |
| zvacet | ubuntu_ : did you tried alternate CD it is text based installer but it work good (for me even better then live) | 15:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nanoprobe: well yes, because the Fn key performs hardware functions - if it doesn't work, contact your manufacturer | 15:48 |
| alan_m | ubuntu_, meh, wow this ones getting complicated :) | 15:48 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | j'ai fait sudo nvidia-xconfig puis déconnexion et reconnexion = même pb | 15:48 |
| ubuntu_ | i have the 8.04 live but i dont know how to install in txt based, and i tried to use the alternate to upgrade 6.06 and it just corrupted my system | 15:48 |
| etronik | YAY !!! :-)) | 15:48 |
| alan_m | zvacet, your welcome to take over if thats ok with ubuntu_ | 15:48 |
| nanoprobe | Daisuke_ldo: it works in windows boot, but not in linux (both os on the same laptop) | 15:48 |
| ifireball | NeoAngelus: try looking for some introductory howto about compiling and linking on Linux to explain issues about how libraries and programs work and relate, I'm sure there are plenty | 15:49 |
| ubuntu_ | i mean 8.04 alternate sorry | 15:49 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: it say ext3 | 15:49 |
| tARrAScH | Hi, sometimes when I login (like this time), my desktop doesn't has any icons on it, and there is no pop-up-menu when i rightclick the desktop. What's the name of the process that is responsible for it, and how can i fix the problem? | 15:49 |
| ubuntu_ | thats fine with me alan | 15:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nanoprobe: there's no reason that should be, it's working well on my laptop | 15:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | don't know what the difference would be | 15:49 |
| Dante123 | philsf how do I do that | 15:49 |
| Frogzoo | tARrAScH: nautilus | 15:49 |
| alan_m | ok ubuntu_, thanks..i gotta do other stuff offline in a bit....so...be back later. | 15:49 |
| zvacet | ubuntu_ :do you have separate home partition? | 15:49 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks for your help alan | 15:50 |
| tARrAScH | Frogzoo: Thanks, terminated it, it automatically restarted, it works perfectly :) | 15:50 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: then do as Steve-Cal said and change to ext3 and change uuid so it matches blkid | 15:50 |
| etronik | zvacet: you helped me solve the upgrade problem !! your suggestion of replacing the cources.list was KEY to identify offending packages !! THANKS !! | 15:50 |
| igorleliza | philsf: do you know what could i use to open apps at one time during the day? | 15:50 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: done | 15:50 |

| alan_m | ubuntu_, its what i do :) lol | 15:50 |
| wishie | well, i just tried to upgrade from feisty->gutsy->hardy with the update-manager.. | 15:50 |
| zvacet | etronik : I ´m gled that I´m finally useful | 15:50 |
| ubuntu_ | but now basically i just have 250 gb of free space | 15:51 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: then i'll wait to my last boot :) | 15:51 |
| wishie | fiesty->gutsy was 'ok', but gutsy->hardy was a COMPLETE mess | 15:51 |
| ubuntu_ | i can partition however is easiest at this point | 15:51 |
| nanoprobe | Daisuke_ldo: you are right ... i never try anything except wlan, i just try some other functions, they work. it seems that i didn't install the correct wlan driver. although it says that hardware is present ... | 15:51 |
| etronik | zvacet: LOL!! now now, you guuys are always usefull !! | 15:51 |
| philsf | Dante123: do what? delete files from the cli? | 15:51 |
| wishie | the update-manager completely screwed it up, so i had to manually go to the cmdline and fix ALOT of unconfigured apps, and force a dist-upgrade | 15:51 |
| PPKuma | legend2440, Steve-Cal, stueng, thanks a lot for your time and patience | 15:51 |

| rodolfo_ | Ben__ could you take a look @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/15998/ for me? | 16:03 |
| Steve-Cal | michael_: OK great, first backup your fstab file before you modify it: "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak" (or call it whatever you want) | 16:03 |
| michael_ | Steve-Cal: the one i want to do is /dev/sda4 | 16:03 |

| wabash | Anyone here ever use ffmpeg for converting flv files to audio? | 16:07 |
| Ben__ | rodolfo_ - the only thing that seems to be using a lot of CPU is /usr/bin/X so unless im being really stupid (quite likely) then it would look like it's the X system that could be hammering it. | 16:07 |
| michael_ | ok done | 16:07 |
| rook1234 | after booting, i can login, but after the login i just can see the wallpaper. if i enter a cd, nautilus starts, but i cant execute vlc, bash,... what can i do? | 16:07 |
| phoenix_ | hmm, installed | 16:07 |
| Ben__ | rodolfo_ are you running any apps on the machine? | 16:07 |
| adante | anybody here use freenx? is it actually supposed to be usable? | 16:07 |
| michael_ | Steve-Cal: can my mount directory be /Data_Disk | 16:08 |
| phoenix_ | I'm getting this when I try to run wolfgl | 16:08 |
| rodolfo_ | Ben__ it makes sense since X has been a headache since these days I got Ubuntu hardy | 16:08 |
| phoenix_ | ./wolfgl: relocation error: ./wolfgl: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference | 16:08 |
| rodolfo_ | no. not at all. | 16:08 |
| phoenix_ | That's from the binary being linked against old libraries isn't it? | 16:08 |
| broken_quiche | To back up config files, do I just run this command or will it be more complex? 'mkdir ~/johnconf; mkdir ~/johnconf/sys; mkdir ~/johnconf/user; cp /etc/* ~/johnconf/sys; cp ~/.* ~/johnconf/user;' | 16:08 |
| juka | #ect | 16:08 |
| Steve-Cal | michael_: Yes, if that directory exists, but it is convention to mount it to /media or /mnt. I don't think you'll run into any problems. | 16:09 |

| ompaul | mynyml, if you read the instructions they are for the 64 bit system | 16:13 |
| broken_quiche | Will this command back up all of my config files? 'mkdir ~/johnconf; mkdir ~/johnconf/sys; mkdir ~/johnconf/user; cp /etc/* ~/johnconf/sys; cp ~/.* ~/johnconf/user;' | 16:13 |

| broken_quiche | keiserr: I'm a newbie myself, but that sounds to me like a corrupt package as a gues. Perhaps aptitude clean and trying again will help. | 16:14 |

| brandon__ | i think possible my burner is bad because I have tried atleast 5 different ISOs | 16:30 |
| ivo_ | where is a file with my keyboard shortcuts? | 16:31 |
| anirudh0 | the_darkside_986, it must give some more messages..pastebin the whole thing | 16:31 |
| jeisma | how do i change directories from my homefolder to my system folder? | 16:31 |
| safew_ | brandon__ even before starting live CD have you checked for defects | 16:31 |
| safew_ | on the CD? | 16:31 |
| Starnestommy | jeisma: cd /usr/local should work | 16:31 |
| bazhang | brandon__, possible, though bad media quality is often the culprit | 16:31 |
| anirudh0 | ivo_, file?..you can change them in gconf-editor or keyboard shortcuts..in sys>prefs | 16:31 |
| brandon__ | bad media quality, like bad blank discs? | 16:31 |
| legend2440 | Ta3v: read man wall | 16:31 |
| d34d10gic | Any help? | 16:31 |
| the_darkside_986 | no it doesn't show more than that error message | 16:31 |
| safew_ | brandon__ May be yes, and as you said the burner | 16:32 |
| ivo_ | anirudh0, but i want a file, there must be a file with that | 16:32 |
| brandon__ | i hadn't thought about that | 16:32 |
| anirudh0 | brandon__, you are sure the error is not because of bad sectors on the hdd? | 16:32 |
| safew_ | brandon__ but do CDs fail while burning? | 16:32 |
| the_darkside_986 | Why isn't CodeBlocks in the repos or something. Anjuta sucks and the package doesn't resolve any dependencies properly. | 16:32 |
| wishie | is there some known issue with scrollkeeper 0.3.14-15ubuntu1 ? | 16:32 |
| Cico | hey everybody | 16:32 |
| Cico | "apt-get dist-upgrade" installs previously removed packages which are not depended on by any installed packages. Is that normal? | 16:32 |
| bazhang | brandon__, either media quality of too fast a burn (or corrupt iso) | 16:32 |
| wishie | installing it on this hardy install, just causes dpkg to fail | 16:32 |
| brandon__ | I tried slowing the burns down | 16:32 |
| giorgos | high everyone | 16:33 |
| giorgos | i would like to ask | 16:33 |
| brandon__ | i burnt at 4x with imgburn and verified the burn back when i had windows (yesterday) | 16:33 |
| brandon__ | and it seemed fine | 16:33 |
| anirudh0 | ivo_, i understand what you are saying..but i doubt there is one of that sort..gconf stores its settings in a file though..iirc an xml one | 16:33 |
| danbhfive | Cico: I think only if there are broken dependencies | 16:33 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | giorgos | 16:33 |
| safew_ | <wishie>are all the depencies getting? | 16:33 |
| nubotu | giorgos: 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. :-) | 16:33 |
| safew_ | <wishie>resolved? | 16:33 |
| giorgos | if you are using pidgin internet messenger and when you add your accounts | 16:33 |
| anirudh0 | brandon__, are you burning to a rewritable cd..i had 5 failures coz of that..before i burnt the hardy iso to a normal cd-r | 16:34 |
| === trucBleu[tm] is now known as trucMuche | ||
| Cico | while "aptitude full-upgrade" does not install those. | 16:34 |
| giorgos | you receive a message that the format of that account is not compatible in ubuntu | 16:34 |
| safew_ | <wishie>maybe you should try installing through synaptic,it resolves all the dependencies | 16:34 |
| the_darkside_986 | Is there a non-crappy IDE for C/C++ in Ubuntu 8.04 repos? Anjuta wants autogen, which has completely ruined my package management system with no hope of recovery. | 16:34 |
| giorgos | can you suggest an idea? | 16:34 |
| flyinggreg | does anyone know if you can look at your linux system from win 2k on a dual boot? | 16:34 |
| Ta3v | No flyinggreg | 16:34 |
| safew_ | the_darkside_986 why don't you try Emacs | 16:35 |
| flyinggreg | i was afraid of that | 16:35 |
| Ta3v | Windows only recognizes Fat32 and NTFS partitions | 16:35 |
| anirudh0 | the_darkside_986, depends on what you mean by crappy...check out geany...though emacs is by far the best :P | 16:35 |
| bazhang | flyinggreg, sure you can just get the ext2/ext3 drivers | 16:35 |
| chain | hello | 16:35 |
| gordonjcp | flyinggreg: depends, apparently you can find a driver that lets you read ext2/ext3 partitions | 16:35 |
| ottoshmidt | about VM when I delete VM in Virtual box, do u know if the partition is lost? | 16:35 |
| ottoshmidt | in VM manager first release and then remove | 16:35 |
| anirudh0 | flyinggreg, there is an ext3 driver for xp | 16:35 |
| bazhang | flyinggreg, www.fs-drivers.org iirc | 16:35 |
| the_darkside_986 | well, i need something to reduce the tedium of re-writing my Makefile when I need to add a source file. something like Code::blocks | 16:35 |
| gordonjcp | the_darkside_986: you want automake | 16:36 |
| the_darkside_986 | but what was that one command to fix the package manager when it is broken? | 16:36 |
| anirudh0 | the_darkside_986, emacs must have a macro for that...but never tried myself | 16:36 |
| gordonjcp | the_darkside_986: or better yet, start using Scons instead | 16:36 |

| JBB | Who could recommend a good compiler? | 16:41 |
| anirudh0 | flyinggreg, system-monitor should show the fs type..but you are on windows..so install the etx3 driver..if it does'nt work then you had reiser or xfs :) | 16:42 |
| philsf | JBB: gcc isn't good enough? | 16:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | giorgos Are we talking about yahoo buddies or msn buddies.. | 16:42 |
| flyinggreg | i tried using fs-driver...asked me if i want to format the drive...bummer, didn't work | 16:42 |
| giorgos | when i add my friend list I am receiving the error that my friend is not on the server | 16:42 |
| JBB | gcc doesn't seem to work... probably something I'm doing wrong. | 16:42 |
| flyinggreg | anirudh, thanks | 16:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | giorgos You do understand you can be doing both at once.. unless something has changed | 16:42 |
| Starnestommy | JBB: is build-essential installed? | 16:43 |
| anirudh0 | flyinggreg, that is'nt right..it should'nt make you format the partition | 16:43 |
| flyinggreg | showed up as a J; | 16:43 |
| JBB | Probably not, would that be in Synaptic? | 16:43 |
| giorgos | alias: lasxoi@yahoo.gr status not on server list | 16:43 |
| anirudh0 | Starnestommy, is there a gcc command without build-essential? | 16:43 |
| giorgos | Sorry, this profile seems to be in a language or format that is not supported at this time. | 16:44 |
| giorgos | that is the error message | 16:44 |
| hischild | greetings. | 16:44 |
| Starnestommy | JBB: yes. It can also be installed in a terminal with sudo apt-get install build-essential | 16:44 |
| philsf | anirudh0: gcc command is provided by the gcc package | 16:44 |
| Starnestommy | anirudh0: I think gcc is installed by default but without build-essential for some strange reason | 16:44 |
| JBB | Starnestommy, thanks for that. | 16:44 |
| anirudh0 | thats a bug then..gcc makes no sense without build-essential | 16:44 |
| Starnestommy | anirudh0: I think debian may also be like that | 16:45 |
| philsf | anirudh0: oh, I missed the point | 16:45 |
| hischild | build-essential is not installed by default, however a compiler can be present due to being a dependency for another package. | 16:45 |
| anirudh0 | Starnestommy, debian devs are amongst the best..they could'nt have made such a basic error | 16:45 |
| Stroganoff | you can use gcc without build-essential.. | 16:46 |
| anirudh0 | hischild, oh..ok | 16:46 |
| JBB | General Linux question: Is apt-get installing something already located on the system? | 16:46 |
| tritium | Yes, but if you look at the reverse dependencies, there is nothing. gcc is simply there on its own. | 16:46 |
| Starnestommy | JBB: in ubuntu and other debian-based distributions, it is | 16:46 |
| JBB | Starnestommy: I though so. | 16:46 |
| danbhfive | JBB: no, usually it is d/l'ing it, and then passing it off to dpkg for installation | 16:46 |
| hischild | anirudh0: to be more precise, build-essential is nearly never a dependency, as it's a meta package which has all the compile tools which you'll have to install by hand (the meta package, that is) | 16:47 |
| jeisma | i want to change directories to /usr/local but when i do cd /usr/local it says no such file or direcotry in /home/jeisma/usr/local | 16:47 |
| jeisma | and usr/local is in my system folder | 16:47 |
| anirudh0 | hischild, dpkg show this "Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.1.1), g++ (>= 4:4.1.1), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) | 16:47 |
| anirudh0 | " | 16:47 |
| Starnestommy | jeisma: are yuo typing "cd /usr/local" or "cd usr/local" ? | 16:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JBB FYI since you need headers anyhow this might be a better choice.. sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` | 16:47 |
| hischild | jrib: make sure you type /usr/local and not usr/local | 16:47 |
| tritium | Interesting: ubuntu-desktop recommends gcc | 16:47 |
| === haihai is now known as abie | ||
| === abie is now known as myAbie | ||
| hischild | anirudh0: yes, it depends on gcc, not build-essential. A package can depend on part of the dependencies for build-essential, but there shouldn't be a package depending on that meta package. | 16:48 |
| anirudh0 | while gcc "Depends: cpp (>= 4:4.2.3-1ubuntu5), gcc-4.2 (>= 4.2.3-1)" | 16:48 |
| anirudh0 | hmm | 16:48 |
| anirudh0 | so the only thing you miss without build-essential is make? | 16:49 |
| philsf | JBB: it hischild but there are | 16:49 |
| hischild | yes. | 16:49 |
| philsf | hischild: but there are | 16:49 |
| anirudh0 | still looks like a bug though.... | 16:49 |
| Starnestommy | anirudh0: I think that the libc/glibc headers may be missing without it | 16:49 |
| axisys | how do I send all logs to a pipe as well? mkfifo /var/log/splunk and then add an entry *.debug |/var/log/splunk | 16:49 |
| hischild | philsf: there are always exceptions. | 16:50 |
| axisys | that should do it? | 16:50 |
| selven_ | wtf, now patch isn't here | 16:50 |
| Stroganoff | you can use bare gcc to compile your own tiny c apps | 16:50 |
| tritium | anirudh0: a bug for ubuntu-desktop to depend on gcc, you're saying? | 16:50 |

| selven_ | okie | 16:50 |
| anirudh0 | tritium, no..i mean either dont depend on gcc..or depend on the full build-essential | 16:50 |
| Ahadiel | selven_, You install patch! sudo apt-get install patch | 16:50 |
| JBB | Using gcc. | 16:50 |
| hischild | JonDeere: what seems to be the problem? | 16:50 |
| selven_ | Ahadiel, can't install patch, having osme problems with python-apt | 16:51 |
| Stroganoff | ubuntu-desktop recommends gcc. this is not a dependency | 16:51 |
| Ahadiel | selven_, sudo aptitude install patch? | 16:52 |
| selven_ | Ahadiel, nopes doesn't work, even with -f | 16:52 |
| tritium | Stroganoff: nevertheless, it's installed by default | 16:52 |
| anirudh0 | Stroganoff, ok...but as JBB points out..a half baked gcc, the one provided by the default install, is next to useless.. | 16:52 |

| JonDeere | Well, Ubuntu is acting oddly ever since trying to install Wine, WineTricks, and a new video driver. The gent assisting me helped uninstall the videodriver with a Sudo command.

| legend2440 | pavel_: some have said that inatalling libflashsupport in synaptic has helped with you tube problems | 17:06 |
| mordof | i changed it on xp so it can hold a ton more text to show, but it only shows a tiny section of it | 17:07 |
| jeanne | Hi. I noticed there was a kernel upgrade (2.6.24.(16->17)) but the default in grub is still .16 and I couldn't find the kernel in the package manager. | 17:07 |
| Nutzebahn | legend2440, bazhang, thank you.: | 17:07 |
| pavel_ | legend: ok, thanks :) anirudh. im not really sure about any flash blocking extension... | 17:07 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, have you done any unusual stuff..like playing around with apt? | 17:08 |
| bazhang | Nutzebahn, good luck :) | 17:08 |
| anirudh0 | pavel_, eg: flashblock puts a flash icon ..the one you described | 17:08 |
| === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka | ||
| anirudh0 | legend2440, thanks ..very good link | 17:08 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: no, just with the GUI | 17:08 |
| joshual | hey folks, ubuntu starts up quickly enough, but gnome starts up pretty slowly... help? | 17:08 |
| legend2440 | anirudh0: yw | 17:09 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, in particular..do you remember putting any "lock",or "pin", on a kernel version | 17:09 |
| Nutzebahn | Thank you. :) | 17:09 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: no I didn't do anything like that | 17:09 |
| anirudh0 | legend2440, whats yw? | 17:09 |
| elaine | anyone know any different apt-get servers? | 17:10 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, is linux-generic installed? | 17:10 |
| elaine | and how to add them?> | 17:10 |
| jeanne | I just installed 8.04 today so I would've remembered :) | 17:10 |
| anirudh0 | elaine, <cc>.archive.ubuntu.com..cc is country code | 17:10 |
| legend2440 | anirudh0: your welcome | 17:10 |
| pavel_ | anirudh0, thanks a lot, i ve disabled the flashblock :) | 17:10 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | r | 17:10 |
| etronik | qiute a few errors on the upgrade script, let's see if I don't get a hosed system | 17:10 |
| anirudh0 | legend2440, oh..i thought "you wish" :) | 17:10 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: No, it says "There is no matching application available." | 17:11 |
| flyrev | Hi. Anyone know what's causing emacs to display a default makefile when I type "emacs makefile" at a terminal (and no makefile present in that directory)? | 17:11 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, ?..i meant the package "linux-generic"..failing that try "linux-386" | 17:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | whats the deal with firefox when you try to download something it you can't tell it to open or save the file because the ok button is greyed out for a period of time? | 17:11 |
| anirudh0 | flyrev, its supposed to be a feature :) | 17:11 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider svp ? | 17:12 |
| magnetron | !fr | Roughneck_cowboy | 17:12 |
| nubotu | Roughneck_cowboy: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 17:12 |
| hischild | tgm4883_laptop: that's normal. It's probably to prevent you from making a stupid move. Keeping the focus on the download window makes it clickable. | 17:12 |
| flyrev | anirudh0, how can I edit the default file that pops up? | 17:12 |
| legend2440 | a French cowboy? | 17:12 |
| the_darkside_986 | i need to remove a package by force, with no question or objects from the system, what is the command for that? | 17:12 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: I know. That one is not listed anywhere either. | 17:12 |
| anirudh0 | flyrev, normally..its just a skeleton..you have to fill in everything | 17:12 |
| mohkohn_ | Where can I directly download Firefox 2X for Ubuntu. Not with apt? | 17:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hischild, is there a way to disable that? | 17:12 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, post your sources.list | 17:13 |
| hischild | tgm4883_laptop: best bet: look in the options. I'm not sure. | 17:13 |
| mohkohn_ | I mean not with apt! | 17:13 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, on pastebin | 17:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hischild, thanks | 17:13 |
| joshual | hey folks, ubuntu starts up quickly enough, but gnome starts up pretty slowly... help? | 17:13 |
| flyrev | anirudh0, how can I edit or replace the skeleton? some of the default values are wrong, and I don't want to change them for every new makefile | 17:13 |
| stroyan | mohkohn_: Why not with apt? | 17:13 |
| bing_ | is this server freenode | 17:14 |
| Rishie | Hello guys. How long should an ubuntu install take? | 17:14 |
| jeanne | on a different note, highlighting isn't working in pidgin | 17:14 |
| anirudh0 | flybaer, imho a simple "M-x replace-string" is a lot faster and better than disabling the feature altogether | 17:14 |
| JBB | Bing_:Yes, this is freenode. | 17:14 |
| bing_ | thanks | 17:14 |
| jeanne | is there a cli paster, anirudh0? | 17:14 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, sorry..not a pidgin guru :) | 17:14 |
| mohkohn_ | Because I was in the process of removing Firfox 3 not really version and replacing it with Firefox 2 so I could use a plug in | 17:15 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, you could point lynx to pastebin..never tried it though | 17:15 |
| astro76 | !info pastebinit | jeanne | 17:15 |
| nubotu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:15 |
| mohkohn_ | I had a power outage ( I am in Cambodia) and my internet dropped out. | 17:15 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | I need some help to activate my Nvidia, which has already worked on my comp. | 17:15 |
| astro76 | jeanne: yes there's a package called pastebinit | 17:15 |
| hagabaka | what should I do when /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing? | 17:15 |
| bing_ | ive deleted a folder form somewhere and now half the folders and files in my home are also on the desktop , how do i delete them from desktop without them deleteing from home also | 17:16 |
| stroyan | mohkohn_: You can get firefox for linux from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.14&os=linux&lang=en-US . But you can get firefox 2 with apt from 'apt-get install firefox-2' | 17:16 |
| mohkohn_ | I can't connect to the internet without firefox. My ISP uses a sort of Wimax VPN | 17:16 |
| bing_ | does that make sense to anyone | 17:16 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | anyone available to help me my problem seems not to be so hard to solve | 17:16 |
| mohkohn_ | So I am using my Mac partition to get onlint | 17:16 |
| anirudh0 | mohkohn, the mozilla website has a firefox binary..download it to ~/ and run directly from there | 17:16 |
| the_darkside_986 | where in the filesystem is the Debian installation list database? I fear I may have to manually modify it. there is no other hope. | 17:16 |
| xocite | bing_: That didn't really make sense. | 17:17 |
| astro76 | bing_: not really, if files are are indeed both on your Desktop and in your home, you can delete them independently | 17:17 |
| mohkohn_ | stroyan won't work. I am downloading the binary but prefer the deb. | 17:17 |
| bing_ | ok my home and desktop are the smae thing somehow | 17:17 |
| Roughneck_cowboy | I'm newb in linux and want some help to activate my graphic card | 17:17 |
| Kitu | how can know my ubuntu's "version" (drapper, edgy, feisty) ? | 17:17 |
| bing_ | no i cant thats the problem | 17:17 |
| xocite | bing_: Does the desktop have little arrows on the corner of the icons? | 17:17 |
| mohkohn_ | Debian has direct links where you can download a package | 17:17 |
| astro76 | Kitu: lsb_release -a | 17:17 |
| Kitu | thx | 17:18 |
| bing_ | if i delete form the desktop they delete from home too | 17:18 |
| Rishie | I'm new to Ubuntu. This is my first time trying to install, however, i cannot seem to get past step 1. The wizard requests my language pref, and thereafter it remains on that step for a long, long time. I left it overnight, and when i returned it seemed to have crashed | 17:18 |
| anirudh0 | the_darkside_986, and what brings you to that woeful conclusion ? | 17:18 |
| stroyan | mohkohn_: You can get the .deb from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/ | 17:18 |
| bing_ | no they not shortcuts | 17:18 |
| mohkohn_ | Is there a list of all Ubuntu packages that can be searched? | 17:18 |
| ferronica | how to check transmission port forwarded ? | 17:18 |
| Kitu | hardy it's hard | 17:18 |
| JBB | Kitu: Google. | 17:18 |
| Kitu | :] | 17:18 |
| xocite | bing_: Then you should be able to delete them | 17:18 |
| anirudh0 | the_darkside_986, not a good idea at all | 17:18 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: http://pastebin.com/m5659e504 | 17:18 |
| the_darkside_986 | anirudh0: i cannot uninstall autogen | 17:18 |
| xocite | bing_: Drop into a terminal and go to ~/Desktop and "rm" each file you don't need. | 17:18 |
| astro76 | mohkohn_: use System > Admin > Synaptic... there's also packages.ubuntu.com | 17:18 |
| amenado | mohkohn_-> apt-cache search pkgname | 17:18 |
| bing_ | i can delete them but it sends them to trash and i need the folders | 17:18 |
| the_darkside_986 | autogen seems to have ruined the package management system and it cannot be removed because of some nonsense about its script | 17:19 |
| ferronica | under Edit-Preferences-testport-port open | 17:19 |
| Kitu | i don't have the tuto for hardy :( | 17:19 |
| xocite | bing_: You want to delete the contents of th efolders. I'm lost. | 17:19 |
| ferronica | dose it mean port forwarded no problem? | 17:19 |
| bing_ | no i just dont want them on the desktop | 17:19 |
| bing_ | anything i put in home goes on desktop also | 17:20 |
| bing_ | and vice vera | 17:20 |
| xocite | bing_: Ok, that's starting to make sense now. | 17:20 |
| astro76 | bing_: what did you delete to cause this problem? | 17:20 |
| xocite | I think you linked ~/Desktop to ~ | 17:20 |
| Rishie | Are there any experts here that i can communicate directly with? | 17:20 |
| xocite | or vice versa >_> | 17:20 |
| Rishie | By pm or something? | 17:20 |
| bing_ | the picture of home now has a little desktop pic on the chimney if that helps | 17:21 |
| Ward1983 | here we go again i need to reboot to have sound | 17:21 |
| xocite | go to /home/<username> and type ls -lh and paste the output in a pastebin | 17:21 |
| astro76 | Rishie: if someone can answer your question they will answer here | 17:21 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, this is weird..your sources are correct..but you say linux-generic does'nt show up in synaptic..i can only recommend changing all nl.archive.ubu... to aarchive.ubuntu.... | 17:21 |
| Rishie | Ok thanks | 17:21 |
| mohkohn_ | stroyan thanks. | 17:21 |
| anirudh0 | *archive.ubuntu | 17:21 |
| Starnestommy | Rishie: sounds like a bug in the installer. You might need to try with the alternate cd | 17:21 |
| bing_ | i created a my documents folder then it started | 17:21 |
| stroyan | mohkohn_: There is a packages page at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ | 17:21 |
| bing_ | so i deleted it and now the 2 places are the same | 17:22 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, linux-generic depends on the latest stable kernel..so it should handle all kernel updates for you | 17:22 |
| Darthy | wuzzup | 17:22 |
| Ward1983 | why does my sound not work all of a sudden? i have to reboot to make it work again | 17:22 |
| Ward1983 | WHY WHY WHY | 17:22 |
| Ward1983 | FFS | 17:22 |
| FloodBot3 | Ward1983: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:22 |
| MartyMoose | restart your sound | 17:22 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: is synaptic the same as the Add/Remove applications GUI? | 17:22 |
| MartyMoose | no need to reboot | 17:22 |
| Jessica_lilly | i have a problem with my network im using a usb apadater which needs the rt73 driver i know ubuntu has it because it works find on the live cd yet when i plug it in on my install system it finds no networks and refuses to connect to any | 17:22 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, but why do you need the latest kernel anyway..any bugs with the current one? | 17:22 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, no! | 17:22 |
| Starnestommy | jeanne: no, it's a lot better | 17:22 |
| anirudh0 | :) | 17:22 |
| Ward1983 | MartyMoose, o have no idea how and im asking here for liek a week | 17:22 |
| the_darkside_986 | how can i manually delete a package without the package manager trying to run its install scripts? i can't find the database anywhere | 17:22 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: no, I just noticed it wasn't using the latest one | 17:22 |
| bing_ | did you understand what i meant | 17:23 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, well..have'nt heard yet about something that works in the new one but not in the old one :)...of interest to ordinary users that is | 17:23 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, try modifying sources.list..update..install linux-generic..upgrade | 17:24 |
| |Dreams| | anyone got there ps3 running through there pc ? | 17:24 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: synaptic does list linux-generic, so I guess it's a limitation of the other GUI... | 17:25 |
| astro76 | jeanne: add/remove only shows a limited subset, gui apps only | 17:25 |
| NetEcho | I'm trying to get my local radio station's web stream playing und3er 8.04 but it doesn't seem to want to play the Windows media stream... any ideas how to fix it? | 17:25 |
| jeanne | astro76: I see. | 17:25 |
| jaypro | have you guys been able to install 8.04? ive downloaded it about 3 or 4 times and it doesnt seem to work | 17:26 |
| xocite | bing_: To me, it just seems like you linked your home and desktop together. | 17:26 |
| ggeecko | |Dreams|: I have my xbox running through my pc | 17:26 |
| Rishie | Jaypro im having the same problem | 17:26 |
| xocite | bing_: or through some gnome setting, you declared your home as your desktop | 17:26 |
| soundray | jaypro: works just fine here. Check your downloads with md5sum | 17:26 |
| |Dreams| | yeah me too just wanted to know which ports the ps3 needed | 17:26 |
| Rishie | And i have a pressed copy | 17:26 |
| soundray | !md5 | jaypro | 17:26 |
| nubotu | jaypro: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 17:26 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, ahh..good anyway..the other gui does'nt list any libs either..its just there to support those who have switched over from win and need a "add/remove programs" equivalent | 17:26 |
| bing_ | xocite when i ~/Desktop in terminal it says no such directory | 17:26 |
| johey | Is there any way I can configure a RAID system to use encrypted LVM in an already installed Ubuntu Server 8.04, using the comfortable guide in the installation procedure (or similar)? | 17:26 |
| jaypro | Rishie oh okay so it's not just me | 17:26 |
| bing_ | how do i fix it | 17:27 |
| jeanne | Rishie: check the boot options. I had to use generic.all_generic_ide=1 for my old lappie. | 17:27 |
| stefan____ | hi guys | 17:27 |
| Rishie | Jay, How far do you get | 17:27 |
| psych | hi | 17:27 |
| stefan____ | i want to participate at the ubuntuproject, which things could i do | 17:27 |
| psych | i installed lighttpd | 17:27 |
| psych | and want it non-auto-start, how to set it up ? | 17:27 |
| bing_ | i only installed ubuntu yesterday and its my 1st ever forray into linux | 17:27 |
| soundray | bing_: try a 'mkdir ~/Desktop' and please keep your problem descriptions on one line | 17:27 |
| astro76 | stefan____: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate | 17:27 |
| xocite | bing_: then run a "mkdir ~/Desktop" and see what happens. | 17:28 |
| anirudh0 | bing_, congrats! | 17:28 |
| jeanne | so about nick highlighting in pidgin :) it is kind of essential. | 17:28 |
| king | how to remove that password asking at startup? | 17:28 |
| anirudh0 | jeanne, i got it to work a while ago..check under preferences | 17:28 |
| acer_ | how to update the apt-get index offline using bz2 archives | 17:28 |
| anirudh0 | king, not recommended..however you can do it under sys>admin?login window>security | 17:29 |
| bing_ | do i just copy that line into terminal? | 17:29 |
| acer_ | pls any one | 17:29 |
| johey | About encrypted partitions... Many guides tell me to fill my entire disk with psuedorandom number. Is this an important part of the encryption procedure, or just a way to ensure my old data is scratched? | 17:29 |
| anirudh0 | acer_, create a local repo..see a tut on the net for doing that | 17:29 |
| soundray | bing_: yes, everything except the quote marks | 17:29 |
| bazhang | acer_, what is the issue | 17:29 |
| amenado | whose go ubuntu as guest on openvz? how do you set it up for an ssh into the virtual private server? | 17:29 |
| anirudh0 | johey, the second one | 17:29 |
| xocite | bing_: yes | 17:30 |
| soundray | king: System-Administration-Login Window -- Security - Autologin | 17:30 |
| king | thank you | 17:30 |
| acer_ | i have some packages downloaded from /main /restricted something like that | 17:30 |
| xocite | bing_: Log out and log back in and see if it works, if not, then I believe I have an alternative solution. | 17:30 |
| johey | anirudh0: Thanks! That means that it is a totally useless step for brand new unused disks? | 17:30 |
| amenado | johey-> important if your partition only has a portion of random, would clue in to that particular area, while the rest is zero or null | 17:30 |
| psych | where do I edit what will be auto-start or not? | 17:30 |
| anirudh0 | acer..create a local repo out of them...and please google for more :) | 17:30 |
| bazhang | psych, in system preferences sessions | 17:31 |
| soundray | psych: do you mean at boot or at login? | 17:31 |
| anirudh0 | johey, yes..i guess | 17:31 |
| acer_ | i have a dialup connection and not able to update the apt-get index but i have to download gstreamer plugin | 17:31 |
| anirudh0 | acer_, oh..sorry | 17:31 |
| anirudh0 | acer_, dpkg -i <deb-file> | 17:31 |
| psych | soundf_, boot | 17:31 |
| soundf_ | ? | 17:32 |
| soundray | !bum | psych | 17:32 |
| nubotu | psych: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 17:32 |
| acer_ | anirudh0: i dont have deb file but bz2 archives | 17:32 |
| king | after windows this ubuntu is quite hard to understand ;P | 17:32 |
| psych | bum | 17:32 |
| psych | ok | 17:32 |
| Kakura | Hey... so I've searched all through the internet for help, and nothing has worked, so I showed up here. I cannot resize my screen resolution larger than 800x600, can anyone help me out with that? | 17:32 |
| anirudh0 | king, too many people say that...but its just different, not hard | 17:32 |
| amenado | what is required to ssh into ubuntu, even though it says sshd is already running (in the openvz guest ve) ? | 17:32 |
| psych | soundray, is there any other way w/out bum ? | 17:32 |
| soundray | psych: did you see what nubotu said? | 17:32 |
| johey | anirudh0: Ah, so you mean that if someone steals my machine, he would have more trouble finding out where the encrypted data resides if the disk is initially filled with random data? | 17:32 |
| Starnestommy | amenado: port 22 needs to be open and forwarded to ubuntu | 17:32 |
| acer_ | Kakura: try using ubuntu 7 live cd and copy the xorg.conf to the newly installed system it worked for me | 17:33 |
| YoG | hi, after the last update my pc can't resume from suspend anymore, can someone here help me please? | 17:33 |
| anirudh0 | johey, i'm no expert in this area..but if the disk is _re_filled with psuedo-random numbers , then the old data is completely wiped out..else some sectors of old data..stuff you dont want others to see..may be left | 17:34 |
| neonprophet_ | anyone know if theres a problem in .04 with refusing to mount any cd/dvd players? | 17:34 |
| soundray | Kakura: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg'. There's also a factoid: | 17:34 |
| soundray | !res | Kakura | 17:34 |
| nubotu | Kakura: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 17:34 |
| anirudh0 | johey, but take this with a pinch of salt..i'm just guessing :) | 17:34 |
| MartyMoose | or ctrl-alt-backspace | 17:34 |
| acer_ | Kakura: which version of ubuntu has this problem | 17:35 |
| joshual | hey folks, running ubuntu 8.04, boot time is pretty decent, but gnome startup is not... any thoughts? | 17:35 |
| johey | anirudh0: I see. :) Anyway. I think I'll skip that part then, as I'm using completely new disks. Thanks! | 17:35 |
| anirudh0 | soundray, finally, the new bot a a resolution related factoid...it was painful to keep repeating the same "dpk-rec.." commands again and again | 17:35 |
| derspankster | I cannot enable my Nvidia 6600 video card . glx-new and glx both don't give me a screen | 17:35 |
| soundray | anirudh0: ubottu had it, and ubotu had it, too... | 17:36 |
| bing_ | ok nothing happened, but got to love speed of rebbot | 17:36 |
| bing_ | reboot | 17:36 |
| anirudh0 | soundray, wish i had known it earlier..i kept typing them out everytime :) | 17:36 |
| soundray | bing_: does the Desktop folder exist in your home now? | 17:36 |
| king | everything else looks quite nice, but i cant get suond at all | 17:36 |
| bing_ | no | 17:36 |
| soundray | bing_: did you type 'mkdir ~/Desktop' in the terminal? | 17:36 |
| bing_ | ok i just did it again now its there | 17:37 |
| jeanne | anirudh0: I can only find sound events but no color highlighting... | 17:37 |
| neonprophet_ | anyone know why the cdrom line in fstab won't read? is it a 8.04 issue? | 17:37 |
| zeeeee | hi, any way to check from what hosts users are currently logged in (over ssh)? | 17:37 |
| cebrail_ | what'up | 17:38 |
| anirudh0 | zeeeee, pinky | 17:38 |
| soundray | bing_: log out and log back in to see if the problem is resolved now (whatever it was...) | 17:38 |
| cebrail_ | whats down | 17:38 |
| astro76 | zeeeee: w | 17:38 |
| soundray | zeeeee: use w or who | 17:38 |
| joshual | hey folks, running ubuntu 8.04, boot time is pretty decent, but gnome startup is not... any thoughts? | 17:38 |
| zeeeee | kjalv;! | 17:38 |
| zeeeee | *thanks | 17:38 |
| YoG | hi, after the last update my pc can't resume from suspend anymore, can someone here help me pretty please? | 17:38 |
| Ienorand | Hello, would somebody running Fx3 and Hardy be able to help me with a little speed test? My Firefox seems rather sluggish and I'd like to get a comparative measure. | 17:39 |
| xocite | So, copy a file into ~/Desktop and see what shows up. | 17:39 |
| johey | Next question about encrypted disks. Is this a good layer scheme: SATA->3 disks (sda, sdb, sdc)->one partition for each disk (sda1, sdb1, sdc1)->RAID5 of all partitions (md0)->LVM on md0->encryption with dm-crypt | 17:39 |
| soundray | joshual: have you got a second computer available? | 17:39 |
| magnetron | johey: you need an unencrypted partition for /boot | 17:39 |
| johey | magnetron: Oh, I'm not encrypting the system partitions at all. Just a big storage array. | 17:40 |
| phil67 | Problem with Firefox opening by itself after boot | 17:40 |
| soundray | !pm | Kakura | 17:40 |
| nubotu | Kakura: 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. | 17:40 |
| magnetron | johey: are you aware of the risks with an unencrypted swap? | 17:40 |
| soundray | Kakura: did you run the command I gave you with the -plow option> | 17:41 |
| soundray | ? | 17:41 |
| johey | magnetron: Yes. My solution is to not use a swap. :) | 17:41 |
| Kitu | can i have a good tutorial to install fglrx ? | 17:41 |
| Steve-Cal | YoG: Those kind of problems are very hardware specific--your best might be to search ubuntuforums.org for your specific hardware and "suspend". | 17:41 |
| magnetron | johey: nice :D | 17:41 |
| bing_ | ok now i have a copy of the desktop folder on my desktop | 17:41 |
| Kitu | i have tutorials but not for hardy version | 17:41 |
| astro76 | johey: the way the alt cd sets it up is to put the LVM inside the encrypted partition | 17:41 |
| xocite | Kitu: Ubuntu still uses fglrx? | 17:42 |
| Kitu | hum | 17:42 |
| Ienorand | Kitu: looked at cchtml? | 17:42 |
| joshual | soundray: no unfortunately not now | 17:42 |
| anirudh0 | johey, good choice..but hibernate does'nt work then | 17:42 |
| Kitu | sorry i don't understand | 17:42 |
| johey | astro76: Ok. Is that better than encrypting the LVM partition? | 17:42 |
| xocite | Kitu: Ah, you're using Hardy. The ATI driver is now catalyst. | 17:42 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: thanx, I did a search, but everything seems to be the way its configured in the forums | 17:42 |
| joshual | do you folks run anti-virus app with ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| soundray | joshual: no, it's not necessary | 17:42 |
| xocite | joshual: clamscan is a good antivirus | 17:43 |
| johey | anirudh0: It's for my file server. I don't need that. | 17:43 |
| Steve-Cal | YoG: If you can get /etc/acpi/sleep.sh to work (just run "sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force") then you could use that for suspend--have you tried that script yet? | 17:43 |
| xocite | joshual: especially if you download mail to your computer | 17:43 |
| soundray | !virus | joshual | 17:43 |
| weezil | joshua1: only if it's a mail server. | 17:43 |
| derspankster | Need help installing and enabling Nvidia 6600 | 17:43 |
| soundray | joshual: have a look at your ~/.xsession-errors to see if anything unusual is logged in there | 17:43 |
| Kakura | soundray: it just did the keyboard thing again | 17:43 |
| Gnutoo | hello,what is needed in order to read mp4a? | 17:44 |
| soundray | Kakura: okay. Did you look at the pages that nubotu pointed out? | 17:44 |
| xocite | Gnutoo: You mean m4a? | 17:44 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: that's what I'm using all the time. But when the computer wakes up it hangs immidiatly, i just see the blinking cursor | 17:44 |
| Gnutoo | xocite, mpeg4 audio... | 17:44 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: It worked until the last update | 17:44 |
| xocite | Gnutoo: Not sure what the Ubuntu equivalent is, but you'll need to look at your gstreamer plugins | 17:45 |
| Gnutoo | xocite, it's for ffmpeg... | 17:45 |
| magnetron | !codec | Gnutoo | 17:45 |
| soundray | Gnutoo: try 'gnome-open file.m4a' -- it should download the required codecs for you | 17:45 |
| steven | i want to thank you guys again | 17:45 |
| magnetron | Gnutoo: oh, for ffmpeg? then you need the medibuntu repository | 17:45 |
| joshual | soundray: could you have a look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/16012/ | 17:45 |
| steven | you just talk so damn much, its perfect | 17:45 |
| Gnutoo | magnetron, what program in the medibuntu repo should i install? | 17:46 |
| Steve-Cal | YoG: Hang on I've got a way you can troubleshoot... | 17:46 |
| magnetron | Gnutoo: ffmpeg :D | 17:46 |
| Gnutoo | magnetron, ok thanks | 17:46 |
| Gnutoo | magnetron, is there a medibuntu for hardy? | 17:47 |

| magnetron | Gnutoo: yes. www.medibuntu.org | 17:47 |
| johey_ | Sorry. I droped my connection. I asked: | 17:47 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: I tried the trick with "echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace", but I can't understand dmesg | 17:47 |
| johey_ | Is it necessary for me to use LVM at all on my fileserver, or should I just encrypt the RAID partition, md0 and use it as it is? | 17:47 |
| Gnutoo | magnetron, ok thanks | 17:47 |

| pappi | hi guys! got a problem with an external hard drive. it has 3 partitions, a logical one(fat32 and ext3 in it) and a primary reiserfs one. while i was burning some data from the hard drive, unfortunately the usb cable was unplugged. now i can't use it anyore, as lsusb probes nothing and dmesg does says anything about a connected hard drive. any tips? | 17:50 |

| the_darkside_986 | i found a codeblocks deb package. codeblocks > anjuta IMO. | 17:52 |
| soundray | pappi: have you powercycled it before reconnecting? | 17:52 |
| === chatsiri is now known as chatsiri_ | ||
| pappi | soundray, how so i do it? | 17:52 |
| Steve-Cal | YoG: Ok first add "set -x" to the beginning of that sleep.sh script (but after #!/bin/bash of course), and then login as root ("sudo -i"), and while you are root, run this: | 17:52 |
| Steve-Cal | /etc/acip/sleep.sh force 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/sleep_output.txt | 17:52 |
| Steve-Cal | That will create the "sleep_output.txt" file that logs all errors and also shows how far the script gets before hanging. | 17:52 |
| soundray | pappi: unplug the power supply | 17:52 |
| legend2440 | the_darkside_986: yes code blocks is good one.. i kind of like netbeans also | 17:53 |
| pappi | done, and plugged it again. nothing happens | 17:53 |

| razaccour | is there a .deb ndiswrapper file that i can save to a disc and use when installing another os? | 17:55 |
| alteregod | yeah | 17:56 |
| soundray | bing_: please describe your entire problem on one line | 17:56 |
| alteregod | irc on a c64 rocks | 17:56 |
| Steve-Cal | razaccour: I think ndiswrapper comes with the LiveCD... can you just use that? | 17:56 |
| soundray | pteague: for a single one, I usually just open the PDF and do a screenshot | 17:56 |
| Gnutoo | magnetron, now ffmpeg gives me a floating point exception... | 17:56 |
| anirudh1 | bing_, this is'nt windows..small problems can usually be solved without reinstalls ;) | 17:57 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: ok, It went to sleep, and hanged when I tried to wake it up. It'll take a couple of minutes until it restarts, I'll tell you the results asap | 17:57 |
| bing_ | lol | 17:57 |
| razaccour | i'm using ubuntu right now, i'm wanting to use debian and see how that goes and need ndiswrapper to make the wifi work | 17:57 |

| johey_ | Is the netsplit finally over? Then I'll repeat my question: | 17:58 |
| johey_ | Is it necessary for me to use LVM at all on my fileserver, or should I just encrypt the RAID partition, md0 and use it as it is? | 17:58 |
| razaccour | oh i didn't know it already had it, thanks | 17:58 |

| soundray | Steve-Cal: generally, you can't assume compatibility between Ubuntu and Debian packages -- especially for things close to the kernel like ndiswrapper | 18:00 |
| drcheezenstein | yeah | 18:00 |
| pappi | didn't you told me to plug the hard drive then run tail -f /var/log/syslog ? | 18:00 |

| Steve-Cal | soundray: I agree--did I miss something though? Is he on Debian and not Ubuntu? | 18:01 |

| tuxtarekk | can someone help me with the meaning of the following error message? | 18:16 |
| tuxtarekk | EmJay: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 18:16 |
| sevenseeker | can anyone direct me to where I can get recommendations for server hardware to run ubuntu server? | 18:16 |
| Kakura | soundray: I had been done everything on google, and the page given to me, half of it either I ahd al ready done, or wasn't for the stuff I had | 18:16 |
| [KS]` | solution? I need to note that I do not have a hardware switch since it's all those touch buttons (HP Pavillion HDX9000) | 18:16 |
| soundray | bing_: Type Alt-F2 and start gconf-editor. In there, go through apps-nautilus-preferences and find the entry called desktop_is_home_dir. Uncheck it if it is checked (I hope it is) | 18:16 |
| Steve-Cal | YoG: I don't see anything really obvious yet, but it would take a while to get through all that... one question: have you always used "ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=mem" in your xorg.conf? I have to use "ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=standby" to get mine to work. | 18:17 |

| biopod | alteregod: I'm trying locate such an option, but can't find it no where | 18:21 |

| yme | aegzorz, the problem is that when I start the system, it appears a sort of command line OS, rather than the nice UI I had before. Is there a way I can install the desktop package from the command line? | 18:21 |
| Steve-Cal | YoG: My mistake--you're right it's acpi-support :) | 18:21 |
| fen_ | oh thats the message you get? | 18:21 |
| bing_ | soundray: it was unchecked | 18:21 |
| [KS]` | fen_: I don't have hardware wifi switch, since all buttons I have on my laptop (Pavillion HDX 9000) are those touch buttons | 18:21 |

| soundray | bing_: too bad... Would it be terrible to create a new user on your system and use that instead of your current one? It's easily done through System-Administration-Users and Groups. Make sure you give it all privileges. | 18:24 |
| aegzorz | yme: does startx work? | 18:24 |

| YoG | Steve-Cal: well, with "standby" it seems more active when I try to wake it up (the hd led flashed a couple of times), but the screen does not wakeup | 18:24 |
| fen_ | no | 18:24 |
| yme | aegzorz, in /etc/init.d or just from my home directory? | 18:24 |
| comicinke1 | how can I exclude single pakets permanently from being upgraded? On hardy, libdvdcss2 from videolan.org is working much better than from medibuntu. | 18:24 |

| bytecolor | If I disable gdm, then run startx from the cl to load icewm, there are hotkeys active (Ctrl+Alt+t to start a term, for instance). icewm is NOT setting them. So where are they comming from? | 18:29 |

| szgal | Does anyone know how I can tell which window composing manager/decorator is currently loaded and being used? | 18:43 |
| mohkohn | It is in the message of the day at the top of the page for future reference. | 18:43 |
| LimCore | szgal: I gunno, but this indeed would be usable thing to kno | 18:43 |
| LimCore | know | 18:43 |
| fen_ | drcheezenstein: you hav a broadcom bcm4306 | 18:43 |
| soundray | [KS]`: sorry, I have to give up. Do head over to tuxmobil.org , though, like I said earlier, there are bound to be people who have solved this problem on your very model | 18:43 |
| Jessica_lilly | i have a wireless adapter which needs the rt73 driver it works when running on the live cd, when i run it on my installed system it just keeps asking for the password over and over and wont see any network | 18:43 |
| drcheezenstein | i guess so fen- | 18:44 |

| gregbrady | My cpu is at 100% all the time.... | 18:44 |
| Steve-Cal | veeturi: It looks like that bcm43xx-fwcutter software supports your chipset. Just download that package via Synaptic and use it to install your driver. | 18:44 |
| drcheezenstein | So whats the problem? | 18:44 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: it did with gutsy out of the box, but not in hardy :-( | 18:44 |
| szgal | LimCore, yes it would be extremely useful thing for me to know. My Google searches are coming up dry. | 18:44 |

| mohkohn | I am trying to install this addon for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115 | 18:46 |
| Steve-Cal | Tonydude: First you need to determine the chipset your wifi card uses--run "sudo lshw -C network" in a terminal. | 18:47 |

| drcheezenstein | theres the lsmod | 18:49 |
| fen_ | as for the connection issue | 18:49 |
| MrObvious | Leefmc: I just right click the icon on the desktop and push unmount or whatever. Or you can always do it in a terminal sudo umount /media/mountpoint | 18:49 |

| drcheezenstein | so fen_ what is the problem then? | 18:50 |
| soundray | [KS]`: what?! | 18:50 |
| MrObvious | drcheezenstein: Ahh I have no experience but I've found ndiswrapper superior to b43 with my chipset. (94311) | 18:50 |
| gregbrady | Ok, no worries, I will just reinstall Ubuntu yet again. | 18:50 |
| [KS]` | soundray, now that you mentioned BIOS, I remembered that I read somewhere, that Restoring bios defaults should help. And it did. Even my bluetooth is working now! | 18:50 |
| Steve-Cal | veeturi: I'm no expert with the fwcutter software since I used ndiswrapper for my wireless, but I think all you may need to do is "sudo modprobe bcm43xx". | 18:50 |
| [KS]` | Thanks everyone for your patienc e:) | 18:50 |
| mohkohn | I had both on. It worked in two. the next time I rebooted Firefox 3 hijacked Firefox 2 despite both being in the menu. | 18:50 |
| Leefmc | MrObvious: Ah thank you! I was having trouble because unmounting in the browser would still leave the icon there.. i could see no way to tell if it was in or out. This works, thank you! | 18:50 |
| drcheezenstein | how do I use ndiswrapper? | 18:50 |
| YoG | Steve-Cal: It is fraustrating... I have to go now, maybe I'll catch you around another day and you'll help me troubleshooting the problem... anyway thanx alot | 18:50 |
| MrObvious | Leefmc: You're welcome. | 18:50 |

| ompaul | Sun13, well then desktops are easier to work with codecs and so forth big databases i.e. over a gig do work better with 64bit mixing both of those I would say 32bit | 19:14 |

| selven_ | JonDeere, have you checked what driver you are using in the xorg.conf?? is it the restricted one or the normal one? | 19:20 |
| szgal | melch, you around? | 19:20 |
| s_spiff | Nattgew: its just a ethernet card.. realtek | 19:20 |
| melch | ompaul, not working | 19:20 |
| Radit | nevermiund | 19:20 |
| JonDeere | It should be the restricted, just sec | 19:20 |
| selven_ | s_spiff, realtek cards works anywhere as far as i know | 19:21 |
| ompaul | melch, don't use it there is a howto on the web page | 19:21 |
| ompaul | melch, as in I don't use it -- there is a howto on the web page | 19:21 |
| s_spiff | selven_: exactly.. it used to work before.. I dunno why its not working now... altho on inserting the cable behind, I'm getting those two blinking lights as usual :( | 19:21 |

| selven_ | s_spiff, dmesg? | 19:22 |
| Nattgew | s_spiff so the modem shows but the realtek does not? | 19:23 |
| kushal1 | I think the output file for DeVeDe is only a simple text/xml file that can be manipulated outside the program. Could anyone confirm it? | 19:23 |
| Nattgew | melch right click on the background to change it | 19:23 |
| s_spiff | Nattgew: yup... this has happened to me for the first time.. | 19:23 |

| selven_ | s_spiff, type if see if the rtl driver is reporting nything | 19:24 |

| mohkohn | How does one remove firefox plugins so they stay removed? | 19:25 |
| yme | Hi, I've got a corrupted file on my external HD, marked as d?????????? I can't do anything on it, I can't remove it, I can't move it etc. Is there a way to fix an external HD or to force a remove? | 19:25 |
| RAdams | Dr_willis: I've used two different systems with wubi, and its behaved itself perfectly :) | 19:25 |
| Myrtti | emma: I know, I was just testing the bot functionality | 19:25 |
| emma | RAdams: I'm not sure I understand what you are telling me. | 19:25 |
| thepunisher | ok i used to use ubuntu full time but i got windows xp for gaming =) | 19:25 |
| s_spiff | selven_: your command ended up with loads of output.. which I can;t make any sense of.. | 19:25 |
| emma | Myrtti: Oh I'm sorry. I thought you wanted to see the factoid :) | 19:26 |
| Myrtti | emma: atleast it responded, although with old database | 19:26 |
| Tonydude | can someone help me setup my rtl8187b wireless card to work? i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092 But no luck | 19:26 |
| selven_ | s_spiff, : do this dmesg>>theoutput.txt | 19:26 |
| Nattgew | yme you can do a sudo umount -f /path to force an unmount | 19:26 |
| thepunisher | So should i resize my ntfs partition down by 8 gigs and convert my 8GIG partition to fat32 for sharing? | 19:26 |
| Myrtti | emma: common mistake :-) | 19:26 |
| selven_ | s_spiff, see if you can post that file theoutput.txt somewhere on pastebin for example | 19:26 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: fat32 is the fs of the devil | 19:26 |
| s_spiff | okies | 19:26 |
| Dr_willis | RAdams, given the # of people i see in here a week with issues.. I will avoide wubi.. i will admit theres not as MANY as i though therr would be. But it may be not many people are using it... | 19:26 |
| yme | Nattgew, but then what? Will that remove my file? | 19:26 |
| thepunisher | yeah but fat32 works easily with ubuntu | 19:26 |
| Nattgew | that will just unmount your drive | 19:27 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: may I suggest www.driver-fs.org, where you can mount ext3 seamlessly in Windows? | 19:27 |
| Nattgew | yme you can do a sudo rm filename to try and remove the file | 19:27 |
| Benzap | questions, does a .inf file for a PCMCIA or any other internet card typically include a .cat file with it as well? | 19:27 |
| selven_ | RAdams, : Fat32 is nice to share p0rn on not everyone have linux or BSD installed on their PCs.. so a big HDD with Fat32 is sure to be detected everywhere .. pr0n lots of p0rn | 19:27 |
| Benzap | I have 3 .infs with one with a .cat | 19:28 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: www.fs-driver.org, sorry | 19:28 |
| thepunisher | k | 19:28 |
| selven_ | thepunisher, search for e2fs | 19:28 |
| yme | Nattgew, I've already tried. It gives the following exception: rm: cannot remove `manual': Input/output error | 19:28 |
| RAdams | selven_: fat32=fragmentation and wasted allocation space :( | 19:28 |
| thepunisher | radams: can that replay an ext3 journal if i have a hardpoweroff? | 19:28 |
| Tonydude | can someone help me setup my rtl8187b wireless card to work? i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092 But no luck | 19:28 |
| selven_ | RaDams :p who cares when it is a porn disk :p | 19:28 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: yes, but if you're doing emergency volume recovery, I'd boot into Linux to let those drivers handle that | 19:29 |
| Nattgew | yme you could also try fsck /dev/device after you unmount it to do a disk check | 19:29 |
| thepunisher | before i resize my ntfs partition should i run chkdsk and defrag? | 19:29 |
| s_spiff | Nattgew, selven_ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/16045/ | 19:29 |
| RAdams | selven_: given that I find porn to be a waste of everything, i'm probably the wrong person to ask on that | 19:29 |
| JonDeere | Definately, Punisher | 19:29 |
| AlexCONRAD | hi, my screen keeps blanking out where there's no activity. How can I prevent this ? | 19:29 |
| AlexCONRAD | I removed all screen savers | 19:29 |
| selven_ | RAdams :p we must be realistic... the internet and all the advances in technology is due to the porn industry | 19:30 |
| AlexCONRAD | and from the screensaver panel, I clicked power managemenet and set "never sleep" to everyting | 19:30 |
| yme | Nattgew, thanks. I'll try that | 19:30 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: backup before you chkdsk, but JonDeere is definitely right: run chkdsk and defrag. But ALWAYS backup first; chkdsk is a bulldozer | 19:30 |
| thepunisher | wat do you mean chkdsk is a bulldozer? | 19:30 |
| moshe | CONRAD,the problem is probably with your power settings causing the screen to blank with no activity | 19:30 |
| RAdams | selven_: some, yes. even many. but not all. | 19:30 |
| selven_ | Radams :p check out the stats on porn downloaded yearly | 19:30 |
| thepunisher | dosent care about anything but the filesystem metadata? | 19:31 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: chkdsk only cares about the health of the volume. it doesn't give a flying fuck about your data. if will repair the volume at the cost of your data if it has to | 19:31 |

| thepunisher | did you ever have a hard poweroff? | 19:32 |
| thepunisher | with ntfs3g | 19:32 |
| moshe | thepunisher,I use ntfs to accedd several other drives in hardy with no problems | 19:32 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: yes. i did one on purpose. volume remounted healthily, didn't even have to -f mount it | 19:32 |
| Benzap | unless you plan on transferring data from linux to winodws, use ext3 | 19:32 |
| Nattgew | s_spiff, you've restarted, right? | 19:32 |
| RAdams | thepunisher: YMMV, of course :P | 19:32 |
| dissocia7ive | does ubuntu comes with mac-fdisk? | 19:32 |
| JonDeere | Selven, could you walk me through fixing my video? :) I'm a noob. The log says it can't get EDID from the video system and I think that's the issue and there's that option I found on the nvidia site... But I don't know where to go from here | 19:32 |
| moshe | I have a seperate windoz drive and can read/write thru ntfs | 19:33 |

| Benzap | actually i have a good question about blacklisting in the new ubuntu, i want to blacklist the prism64 drivers but it won't let me | 19:33 |
| Nattgew | s_spiff, if you start it with just the realtek does it work? | 19:33 |
| Benzap | where do i go to ensure that they're blacklisted? | 19:33 |

| yme | Nattgew, nope | 19:33 |
| AlexCONRAD | moshe: i did remove all sleeps i could under the power managemenet panel, accessible via the screensaver panel | 19:34 |
| s_spiff | Nattgew: meaning?.. the other ethernet card is onboard.. so i can't really remove it | 19:34 |
| yme | Nattgew, I can see all the files and work with them, only this one file is corrupted | 19:34 |
| ompaul | Benzap, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 19:34 |
| MrObvious | melch: No clue on Firefox... | 19:34 |
| Benzap | I did | 19:34 |
| thepunisher | does ntfs3g support compressed files? | 19:34 |
| moshe | CONRAD,what type video board are you using? | 19:34 |
| Nattgew | yme you should use ext3 or something else, ntfs support isn't the best, you should try backing up and making it ext3 rather than ntfs, and that should also fix the problem | 19:34 |
| Benzap | for some reason when i load the ndiswrapper .inf and .cat, it still assigns my card a prism driver | 19:34 |
| MrObvious | melch: But System -> Preferences -> Appearance allows you to change background. | 19:34 |
| RAdams | melch: for the openurl plugin in firefox, try #firefox. Regarding changing the background picture, right click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background" :O | 19:34 |
| melch | MrObvious, do u wnat to help me work out iwth me | 19:35 |
| selven_ | s_spiff, sorry was looking at it | 19:35 |

| JonDeere | Oh sorry, Selven. Let me know when you have a minute. :) | 19:35 |
| s_spiff | Nattgew: umm.. long time since i checked it out.. but last time it worked. | 19:35 |
| syke | does anyone know where I can find a precompiled udf.ko for hardy amd64 that has UDF 2.5 support? | 19:35 |
| MrObvious | melch: I was finishing my statement lol. Yeah that is for Gnome. | 19:35 |
| Nattgew | yme you have to back up your data first, and then you can unmount it and use gparted to reformat it | 19:35 |
| s_spiff | selven_: bnopes.. which is why i'm vexed! | 19:35 |

| GurgehMorat | selven_ :D of course, but still have "rm: missing operand" though :( | 19:41 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: Yeah. It's the best hard drive repair software around. If you can still get your data off and buy a new hard drive then you are probably okay. But if you can't get priceless data off you will be glad to pay it. | 19:41 |

| b4l74z4r | i installed the compiz settings manager but i there's no custom option under "System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects, so how do i enable the custom settings that i have set in the settings manager? | 19:41 |
| Uplink | MrObvious, im not sure if its my HDD tho | 19:42 |
| Starnestommy | GurgehMorat: try "cat text | xargs -I '{}' rm" | 19:42 |
| selven_ | Uplink, :p non you just rememberred me of that game, i was trying to remember that name, since that makes a hell long time ago since i heard that, and i was writing a paper about how to teach programmin to students, then wanted to use that as a reference to try to inject gaming into learning | 19:42 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: It's a program that fixes errors on sectors by moving data to new ones. If there is an actual physical defect nothing will probably help except maybe replacing the circuit board. | 19:42 |
| Crewsr3 | I'm ready to install hardy and I was hoping someone could help me with my parition set up | 19:43 |
| MrObvious | Crewsr3: Sure! | 19:43 |
| Crewsr3 | I have read that I should put my /home drive on a diffrent partition | 19:43 |
| Crewsr3 | how should I set things up | 19:43 |
| MrObvious | Crewsr3: How big of a space do you have available for Ubuntu? | 19:43 |
| Crewsr3 | 400 gigs | 19:43 |
| JonDeere | Wow. :) | 19:43 |
| GurgehMorat | Starnestommy: Ok, that one goes further, it does the loop for each line I guess, but each rm returns missing operand | 19:43 |
| selven_ | Thanks Starnestommy :p | 19:44 |
| dissocia7ive | does mac-fdisk comes with ubuntu? | 19:44 |

| Crewsr3 | MrObvious: should I give the boot partition 20 gigs or more? | 19:45 |
| MrObvious | Crewsr3: I would partition / for 20 gigs, swap for 512MB (or more if you don't have much RAM), and the rest for /home. Perhaps you might create a /backup and make the /home 80GB and the backup partition for regular backups. | 19:45 |
| MrObvious | Crewsr3: 20GB is plenty. You can get by with 10 but 20 will prevent problems later on. | 19:45 |
| Crewsr3 | MrObvious: I will give the os 20 gigs | 19:45 |

| MrObvious | Crewsr3: You need one. I would make it 256MB since you have 4GB. Also you would want to run a 64 bit version. | 19:46 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: Not sure sorry. | 19:46 |
| Crewsr3 | MrObvious: I'm worried about going 64 because of driver and software support | 19:46 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: You may have to reboot to a WinME recovery floppy (can be found online) and run a fdisk from that. | 19:47 |
| LogiTech | how to join channel if i have problems with sound?? /join... ? | 19:47 |
| MrObvious | Crewsr3: Most of the stuff I run has good 64 bit support. All the drivers run fine. | 19:47 |
| Crewsr3 | MrObvious: I'm on fiesty right now and the os can only see 3 gigs, but I'm fine with that | 19:47 |
| MrObvious | LogiTech: You already are in a good channel if you run Ubuntu. | 19:47 |

| Crewsr3 | MrObvious: Thanks for your help!!! Here is goes! Bye | 19:51 |
| MrObvious | Crewsr3: In fact if you do any partition resizing through GParted, you will need to do it from the LiveCD. | 19:51 |
| MrObvious | :\ | 19:51 |
| MrObvious | Tonydude: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper | 19:52 |
| MrObvious | Tonydude: Also make sure the little switch on your computer (fn+key or a switch) is actually set to on. | 19:52 |

| MrObvious | Tonydude: All I can say is maybe start from scratch and follow the HOWTO again. You may have missed a step. | 19:54 |
| k33qk | can we locate symlinks of a file without using find?(find /mountpoint -type l -exec ls -l {} ) | 19:54 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: Hmm. Have you done any malware scanning? | 19:54 |
| LogiTech | MrObvious hmm...plugins look like they are by like the keyboard/mouse hookups | 19:55 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: I know this isn't ##windows but I recommend Spyware Terminator. | 19:55 |
| Uplink | MrObvious, yes... with Nod32 | 19:55 |
| GurgehMorat | k33qk: Have you tried file? | 19:55 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: Are you clean? NOD32 is an excellent program. | 19:55 |

| Uplink | MrObvious, i was a quite bit infected | 19:55 |
| k33qk | GurgehMorat: yeah | 19:55 |

| riba1 | hi | 19:55 |

| riba1 | runing off of hardy derivative | 19:56 |

| riba1 | something about ptp...does hardy have ptp for usb cams enabled by default? | 19:56 |

| MrObvious | LogiTech: Hmm. Do you have any sheets on it? Look on the case and see if it says Dell or HP or something similar. It might be a custom built. If I can get the motherboard make and model I could look it up easy. | 19:59 |
| Breakage | anyone know where i download tango orange icons, (orange folders). are the default ubuntu icons tango? if so where could i get them? | 19:59 |

| MrObvious | nickz: Sorry I don't remember your exact issue. Do you have a broadcom or something? | 19:59 |
| selven_ | s_spiff: yes, once you get the dmesg saved in a text file ( dmesg>>newtextfile.txt) you can go back on bios , re bring it back up, then come again online posting the new dmesg | 19:59 |
| MrObvious | Uplink: You're welcome. Try that and report back if you can find me. lol | 20:00 |
| s_spiff | selven_: okies will try it. | 20:00 |

| nickz | heh i just closed my laptop cause im downloading the newest version of ubuntu | 20:01 |
| wabash | So, a user can belong to more than one group, right? can a directory have more than one group? | 20:01 |

| nickz | MrObvious: Let me try installing the newest version of UBUNTU and then you'll see me back here. :-) | 20:01 |
| iuri | What the heck is "TIFF decompressor required | 20:02 |
| MrObvious | LogiTech: Call the shop and ask for the make and model of the motherboard. They may be able to look it up. | 20:02 |
| MrObvious | LogiTech: Or look through your recipt. | 20:02 |
| MrObvious | nickz: No wait. | 20:02 |
| JonDeere | I think tiffs are a video file format, iuri | 20:02 |
| JonDeere | Er, sorry, an image format | 20:02 |

| ace_suares | h4L1m: oh yeah that was a q i can not answer thats why i did not react | 20:09 |
| MrObvious | Yggdrasil: You mean uninstall a package? | 20:09 |
| PCcertified | does anyone now where to find info on compiling my kernel? I'm a complete noob so any advice is welcome. I apparently need to do this to install my webcam driver . accoding to the website, linux kernel needs to be locally compiled in order to compile the microdia driver. | 20:10 |
| Yggdrasil | well theres a difference beetween' purgeand un=istall | 20:10 |
| ace_suares | !compile | 20:10 |

| etronik | ace_suares: err how do I boot from the CDROM from Grub ?? | 20:10 |
| MrObvious | PCcertified: Maybe there is already a driver built in. | 20:10 |
| PCcertified | alex1: it will overwrite your boot table if you install vista first | 20:10 |
| PCcertified | first you should install Vista then install linux | 20:11 |

| toby_panzer | rupal | 20:11 |
| ace_suares | h4L1m: not every day is a good day | 20:11 |
| alex1 | PCcertified, I can't. My vista was messed up, and I want to reinstall it. I already have Ubuntu installed. | 20:11 |
| h4L1m | ace_suares, exactly | 20:11 |
| etronik | ace_suares: I must be dumb! I have a bootable CDROM, but the process goes straight to Grub .... | 20:11 |
| ace_suares | alex1: I think Vista will fsck your boot sectors, but then youcan use the CD to resinatll grub, or use supergrubdisk | 20:12 |
| PCcertified | ace_suares: that was useful but how does it help with compiling the kernel | 20:12 |
| ace_suares | etronik: yeah you need to instruct your bios to boot from the cd of course | 20:12 |
| perlmonkey | greetings | 20:12 |
| Steve-Cal | alex1: Instead of doing a complete reinstall, can't you just do the repair option from your Vista CD? | 20:12 |
| alex1 | ace_suares, as an additional complication I have refit so that I can triple boot :( | 20:12 |
| ace_suares | PCcertified: I think you need only the kernel headers... | 20:13 |
| Yggdrasil | mrobvious im trying to reinstall bcm43xx-fwutter and the first time i did it asked if i wanted to dl the firmware but the link its using msut be broken and now , it wont install because itsl ooking for that link, and i cant get it to ask me the quesiton about dl it so that i can say no this time | 20:13 |
| etronik | ace_suares: then there must be something wrong with the alternate CD - is it bootable ? or do I have to Dl the regular 8.04 CD ? | 20:13 |
| alex1 | Steve-Cal, I tried, but it wants to repair the boot table i think, as it can't find the boot partition | 20:13 |
| perlmonkey | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a new system (Dual Core) from CD, but it hangs at language selection stage.. tried a few times, always hangs at that point. CD was tested ok and used successfully on another PC. any ideas? | 20:13 |
| ace_suares | alex1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild | 20:14 |
| ace_suares | sorry | 20:14 |
| ace_suares | PCcertified: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild | 20:14 |
| PCcertified | alex1 you will have to reinstall Vista then you can use a linux boot CD to setup your boot loader. Alternately you can use Vista to set up a menu to load at startup that points to your different OS's | 20:14 |
| ace_suares | etronik: you can also use the normal cd just startup linux from the cd not from the harddsik | 20:15 |
| ace_suares | etronik: butnormally your cd should be bootable | 20:15 |
| MrObvious | Yggdrasil: fwcutter is installed right? If so then just bcm43xx-fwcutter itself is fine. You don't need to install it | 20:15 |
| Yggdrasil | no its not installed | 20:15 |
| MrObvious | !bcm43xx | Yggdrasil Maybe the steps are on there. | 20:15 |
| ubot3 | Yggdrasil Maybe the steps are on there.: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 20:15 |

| alex1 | i wish vista would just leave stuff alone and only mess with its own partition | 20:16 |
| derspankster | I cannot install the nvidia x driver | 20:16 |

| alex1 | ace_suares, yes indeed | 20:17 |
| ace_suares | etronik: did you chcek your BIOS ?! | 20:17 |
| h4L1m | etronik, do you have a cdrom drive? :P | 20:17 |
| PCcertified | ace_suares: not for this install. Please take a look at the instructions for me, I think it's telling me to compile the kernel...https://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/testing-microdia-driver-draft | 20:17 |

| danf | :) | 20:18 |
| etronik | ace_suares: yes I did! tell me, can a CDROM drive be on the IDE Secondary slave controller and still be bootable ? or does it need to be on the primary controller ? | 20:18 |
| derspankster | h4L1m, yes, thanks, but when I enable the restricted driver all I get upon reboot is a blank screen | 20:18 |
| danf | hi | 20:18 |
| xlizard | ok, i have a small problem, hope sombody can help: i have an umts-modem at ttyUSB0, networkmanager gives me possibility to controll ist, after setup i had to change etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 and add noauth and chatscript. now i can connect nut network-manager does not see it and still says disconnected. result applikations like firefox and evolution starts in offline-mode ;( | 20:18 |
| MrObvious | Yggdrasil: Hmm. You could always sudo apt-get remove bcm43xx-fwcutter | 20:18 |
| h4L1m | etronik, on the splash screen while starting your pc, it says press a button to configure bios or something like that, then you go to the boot options and bring your cdrom drive on the first place | 20:18 |
| MrObvious | Yggdrasil: It won't get wi-fi working but at least it'll fix apt. | 20:18 |
| PCcertified | etronik: depends on your BIOS | 20:19 |
| etronik | h4L1m: I did that !! :-) | 20:19 |
| === fallen|[sleep] is now known as afallenhope | ||
| danf | just have a single question, it's about dm-crypt (full disk encryption) | 20:19 |
| ace_suares | etronik: depends on you bios, most modern pc's it can | 20:19 |
| h4L1m | etronik, i would check that cd on another machine | 20:19 |
| h4L1m | etronik, tried that out? | 20:19 |
| danf | must i install it before ubuntu, or once ubuntu is installed ? | 20:19 |
| * afallenhope is back (gone 12:30:50) | 20:19 | |
| ace_suares | PCcertified: hmmm seems the instructiions are far to complicated | 20:19 |
| DanaG | Argh, NetworkManager sucks! | 20:19 |
| danf | may sound like a noob question ^_^; | 20:20 |
| etronik | h4L1m: not yet ! damm it ! a simple upgrade is turning into a mess ! | 20:20 |
| DanaG | It can't handle roaming! | 20:20 |
| h4L1m | derspankster, do you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 20:20 |
| DanaG | It can't comprehend the idea of different access points with the same SSID. | 20:20 |
| ace_suares | PCcertified: but if you just follow the instructions, then in the end you will have the .ko file (which is the driver | 20:20 |
| h4L1m | :D | 20:20 |
| ace_suares | and you don't have to reinstall your kernel | 20:20 |
| DanaG | I roam.... and it still thinks I'm connected to the old SSID. | 20:20 |
| ace_suares | PCcertified: but I would think the kernel-headers shoudl be sufficient | 20:20 |
| danf | did somebody saw my question | 20:20 |
| danf | ? | 20:20 |
| danf | see* | 20:21 |
| xlizard | danf, full disc encryption is not simple ... you need something to boot from and load keys etc | 20:21 |
| h4L1m | derspankster, give me the name of the nvidia drivers you're trying to install | 20:21 |
| perlmonkey | hi | 20:21 |

| derspankster | h4L1m, nvidia glx-new | 20:21 |
| Benzap_ | o cool i got it working | 20:21 |
| Steve-Cal | DanaG: That can happen if they have different "MAC" addresses, i.e. different hardware addresses. | 20:21 |

| danf | xlizard google ? never heared about it :< | 20:22 |
| DanaG | They're different access points, but it doesn't realize it's gone out of range of one and into the range of another. | 20:22 |
| Flannel | Erosion: cp | 20:22 |

| perlmonkey | Flannel: thanks, what is that? how do use it? | 20:22 |
| ace_suares | perlmonkey: did you try memory test !!!! | 20:22 |
| DanaG | One complication: the different APs are on different subnets, even though they have the same SSID. | 20:22 |
| DanaG | That's not all that uncommon of a setup, I'd think..... but it doesn't WORK! | 20:22 |
| Erosion | Thank You, Flannel | 20:22 |
| xlizard | danf, i found much of "encypt root-fs" howtos | 20:23 |

| perlmonkey | will the standard ubuntu 8.04 work with a dual core? | 20:23 |

| danf | xlizard i was just kidding. And ok i'll check this out :) | 20:23 |
| perlmonkey | ace_suares: when I boot the PC tho it goes straight into install and doesn't give me any menu or options | 20:23 |

| h4L1m | derspankster, you tried to type "sudo nvidia-xconfig" ? | 20:24 |
| etronik | guys! can I configure grub to boot from CDROM ?? can anyone help me set that up ? | 20:24 |
| DanaG | So... if I walk around on campus, my connection randomly breaks. | 20:24 |
| DanaG | And it thinks it's still working... but it's not. | 20:24 |
| ace_suares | perlmonkey: what cd are you using ? Use the alternate cd if needed | 20:24 |
| h4L1m | derspankster, i think this is a config tool of nvidia's drivers | 20:24 |
| DanaG | I have to manually re-select the network in nm-applet each time I move around! | 20:24 |
| Flannel | perlmonkey: At the boot menu (when you first boot the CD), select "Install Ubuntu" instead of STart the Live System (or whatever it is). That'll throw you straight into the installer. | 20:24 |
| perlmonkey | ace_suares: just the standard CD | 20:24 |
| xlizard | danf, you have to install it on a crypted disk ... so dm-crypt while instalation ... debing supports that ... ubuntu ... didnt tryed it ;) | 20:24 |
| alastair1 | if "for x in *.jpg" gets all files with a jpg extension, how do I get all files with no extension? | 20:24 |
| derspankster | h4L1m, yes. Actually, system says that nvidia-glx-new is installed but when I try to enable is X fails and I have to fall back to nv | 20:24 |
| ace_suares | etronik: no, you cna't, it needs to boot from the cd and if that doesnt work either your bios, your cd or your drive is bothced. | 20:25 |
| Joe_CoT | hey, anyone know how to boot a cdrom from grub menu | 20:25 |
| perlmonkey | Flannel: no boot screen or menu comes up, perhaps it doesn't get that far? it says loading... then it puts up a select country/language menu | 20:25 |

| nano_ | DanaG: ok | 20:27 |
| nano_ | Fingerling_: what kind of issues? | 20:27 |
| DanaG | In short: NetworkManger utterly fails at handling multiple access points with the same SSID. | 20:27 |
| ace_suares | perlmonkey: oh yeah thats tru with the new 8.04 | 20:27 |
| MrObvious | LogiTech: Put the output of lspci in a pastebin and give me the link. | 20:27 |
| DanaG | ... at least when they're on different subnets, as they are at Cal Poly. | 20:27 |

| Fingerling_ | Keeping My Connection Alive...seem to lose it in Minutes | 20:28 |
| ace_suares | perlmonkey: or find some older cd with memtest on it | 20:28 |
| perlmonkey | i installed a system with it yesterday | 20:28 |
| h4L1m | derspankster, why that? i think it has to come with the nvidia drivers | 20:28 |
| Flannel | perlmonkey: I'm not sure what to tell you. Try the alternate CD | 20:28 |
| nano_ | DanaG: yeah i have also experienced that | 20:28 |
| perlmonkey | ok i will try alternate | 20:28 |
| ace_suares | perlmonkey: so i t *could* be the mem of this machine | 20:28 |

| Jack_Sparrow | derspankster If you rework your partitions for any reason in the future, create a second area for a second distro or a new release for testing so you maintain a stable working os | 20:34 |
| nano_ | DanaG: but it doesn't. | 20:34 |
| derspankster | ace_suares, I'm running Hardy on my laptop without issue but it doesn't have a Nvidia card | 20:34 |
| ace_suares | derspankster: I think Edgy was absoulute the worst :-) | 20:34 |

| derspankster | ace_suares, I'm very happy for you but that doesn't help my situation. | 20:35 |
| ace_suares | derspankster: I had problems with nvidai opn 32 bit reported a bug | 20:35 |
| Yggdrasil | mrobvous thanks | 20:35 |

| ercferret18 | bye | 20:35 |
| kushal1 | Hello, I need a script that will automatically add about 140 movie clips onto a program called DeVeDe. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite M55-S135. Please help. I have added about 70 clips by hand and it is not much fun. If I do it regularly, I fear I will get RSI or something. Control Click, shift click, and control A (select all) do not work on DeVeDe. Please help. | 20:35 |
| DanaG | Oh hell, I might as well do it myself. | 20:35 |
| DanaG | Or rather, try to, at least. | 20:36 |
| ace_suares | derspankster: annd what is you problem again ? you can zet the vesa driver in xorg.conf and then at least you have the gui running | 20:36 |
| Flannel | Joe_CoT: Actually, that doesn't seem to work. When you're booting, hit 'e', then root ([tab] and see the list it gives you. The internet seems to think that you can't (without chainloading through something else, SBM seems popular), but I could've sworn I remember reading that you could a good while ago. | 20:36 |
| nano_ | DanaG: if an application doesn't work EXACTLY like you want it to....you have 2 options...a) fix code urself .......b) get another application! | 20:36 |
| derspankster | ace_suares, I can run vesa or nv but not nvidia | 20:36 |
| nano_ | DanaG: u should try wifi-radar | 20:36 |
| DanaG | Does it run as a tray app? | 20:37 |
| DanaG | And work automatically? | 20:37 |
| LogiTech | MrObvious okei ill try | 20:37 |
| ace_suares | derspankster: and you installed nvidia with the restricted-frivers-mamnager ? | 20:37 |
| derspankster | ace_suares, yes | 20:37 |
| LogiTech | MrObvious and sorry for the pm... | 20:37 |
| ace_suares | derspankster: and it doesnt work, but you looked up thhe card and it was supported ? | 20:37 |
| nano_ | DanaG: its not a tray app, but it can be configured to work automatically | 20:38 |
| LogiTech | MrObvious have you heard about logitech Z2300 speakers? | 20:38 |
| nano_ | DanaG: it need not be a tray app, as u can put shortcuts anywhere | 20:38 |
| derspankster | ace_suares, I haven't specifically looked up my geforce 6600 but it worked fine in gutsy | 20:38 |
| DanaG | That's really not any improvement over the current situation. | 20:38 |
| MrObvious | LogiTech: Kinda. It should use a standard hookup. | 20:38 |
| ace_suares | derspankster: do llok if it is supported. Restricted rivers are not the same between all releases. | 20:38 |
| MrObvious | LogiTech: My guess is you are fine after a Google. | 20:39 |
| MrObvious | Holy crap | 20:39 |

| ace_suares | amrik: just joking | 20:55 |

| nano_ | ace_suares: are you talking about s_spiff's eth1 | 20:56 |
| ace_suares | nano_: yes | 20:56 |
| amrik | ace_suares: i think -Y forwards as well, but does something a little different with "trusted" x11 forwarding | 20:56 |
| jitendra | sinayoks. u can connect from konqueror to a remote machine with X using fish protocol. type fish://user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | 20:56 |

| axisys | ace_suares: w/o installing a MTA | 21:21 |
| MFen | axisys: no, it (should) satisfy one of the requirements of mailx, so that exim doesn't have to be installed | 21:21 |

| MFen | axisys: MTA stands for "mail transfer agent". you DO need an MTA to send mail. :P | 21:23 |
| axisys | ace_suares: i can telnet to an smtp server and send the email | 21:23 |
| axisys | MFen: ^^ | 21:23 |
| MFen | axisys: then you are acting as the MTA | 21:23 |
| sinayoks | jitendra: nope, still looking on the web | 21:23 |
| axisys | MFen: yes.. and mailutils can do that? | 21:23 |
| keri | afallenhope, welp im back and it didnt work | 21:23 |
| afallenhope | Steve-Cal: because the bcm43xx is deprecated. it's outdated. it's been replaced with the b43 | 21:23 |
| MFen | axisys: i dunno. mailx isn't the only way to send email from the command line | 21:23 |

| axisys | MFen: hmm i would rather use a python or perl if that does not require any postfix or exim libs | 21:25 |
| ace_suares | axisys: you can not have 'mail' command without an MTA.. sorry... on a local system exim is as good as postfix. | 21:25 |

| swiftfoxer | I'm having a problem making my connection there static ip here. Only works with roaming mode or dhcp. But on this computer(connected to the same router) it works | 21:32 |
| icqnumber | afallenhope, follow the link | 21:32 |
| afallenhope | omg icqnumber I know I seen that,. I read it I don't get it | 21:32 |

| jitendra | sinayoks: can u connect from commandline (even if that is without X) | 21:32 |
| swiftfoxer | how can I setup static ip on ubuntu? | 21:33 |
| Noxide | Ok, so why is it when I click on my network manager it disappears? Also, I've done everything the FAQ suggested and I still can't get my damn wireless to work... Sigh. | 21:34 |
| jitendra | sinayoks: did u type fish://user@IP/folder | 21:34 |
| Noxide | The disappearing NM is just like kicking a man while hes down. | 21:34 |

| fiXXXerMet | I have a ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet installed in my server. lspci detects it, and google says to use the 'tulip' driver - do I just do "modprobe tulip"? | 21:35 |
| icqnumber | afallenhope: well but if u want mp3 in amarok you need to install kubuntu-restricted-extras, type in terminal: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Noxide It helps to know things like which distro/release what networking hardware.. and what changes you made to the base install etc | 21:36 |
| swiftfoxer | thanks jrib, but I'm not so sure what to do with that, don't quite get it. For the time being I'll take a look at resolve.conf | 21:37 |
| JonDeere | Can anyone help me with my Nvidia 3D driver install? | 21:37 |
| axisys | is there a smart way to detect my public domain? i am off of cox but what if I did not know that? i want find my public domain and then find the mx record for the domain | 21:37 |
| jrib | swiftfoxer: search the page for "static ip". It tells you exactly what you need to do in /etc/network/interfaces | 21:37 |
| axisys | i need to use that for nullmailer | 21:37 |
| Stevethepirate | 'lo. I just did an upgrade on linux [apt-get upgrade] and now all of a sudden grud fails to see my windows installation. On top of this, my xserver has crashed... I need to fix the windows problem first though.... | 21:37 |
| axisys | tracepath to cnn fails and nslookup does not help either | 21:38 |
| PCcertified | Ack, I'm back. compiling a kernel is quite a job. there must be an eaisier way to install this microdia driver | 21:38 |
| icqnumber | JonDeere: have you seen howtos allready? | 21:38 |
| icqnumber | !nvidia | 21:38 |
| ubot3 | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:38 |
| JonDeere | I've been reading up on it, Icqnumber, and I have a theory on the problem... But I can't even edit xorg.conf successfully, must be I need root? | 21:39 |
| gorio | Can anyone help me ? how to find and edit this file modprobe.conf | 21:39 |
| SnakeArt | Hello. I need some help with Canon Pixma mp210 an ubuntu 7.10 (64bit). | 21:39 |
| Stevethepirate | JonDeere: Yar. | 21:39 |
| Steve-Cal | axisys: Maybe get your IP from whatsmyip.org and then look it up for the domain? Is that what you are looking for? | 21:39 |
| Noxide | Jack: Im using Hardy the newest release and my networking hardware is a broadcom BCM94311, which should be supported by Hardy. I made no changes to the initall install. | 21:39 |
| JonDeere | Can I do it from Sudo? Or do I need to learn how to log on as root? | 21:39 |
| Stevethepirate | sudo | 21:39 |
| swiftfoxer | jrib, what does auto eth0 and auto eth1 mean in etc/network/interfaces? | 21:39 |
| Starnestommy | JonDeere: sudo should work | 21:39 |
| esref | tree | 21:40 |
| JonDeere | OK. Now... I found an xorg.conf on the net that looks "close" to my setup... Mine says things like device "presently configured device" rather than list the driver name/card | 21:40 |
| PCcertified | has anyone here ever installed the microdia webcam driver | 21:40 |
| jrib | swiftfoxer: man interfaces says: Lines beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physicalinterfaces to be brought up when ifup is run with the -a option. (This option is used by the system boot scripts.) | 21:40 |
| icqnumber | JonDeere: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:40 |
| Steve-Cal | Stevethepirate: Do you just need to put Windows back in your /boot/grub/menu.lst or what are you looking for? | 21:40 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: cool.. that worked | 21:40 |
| icqnumber | JonDeere: but if u do not even know that, do not edit it then | 21:41 |
| MFen | meh | 21:41 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: now I see mx.east.cox.net not responding to port 25 | 21:41 |
| freewilly | u have nvidia | 21:41 |
| Stevethepirate | Steve-Cal: Yeah. Basically. I'd like that. Like, when I installed it did that for me, so I'd rather have an automated program, than have to guess where the file is. | 21:41 |
| jrib | swiftfoxer: so, the interfaces to be brought up when you boot | 21:41 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: hmm.. thats funny.. may be some proxy I need to use!? | 21:41 |
| JonDeere | OK cool, so that'll let me edit the file. Hehe right, I'm not too sure what to do even if I can... I THINK it needs a Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" statement in there somewhere | 21:41 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: i was hoping customers on there dhcp block should have access | 21:41 |
| JonDeere | It's only giving me 640x480 mode, ya see | 21:41 |
| Stevethepirate | icqnumber: I heard that one should never sudo for graphical programs, only CLI ones.. | 21:42 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: there might be a different IP for internal IP blocks? | 21:42 |
| Stevethepirate | JonDeere: Perhaps try a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' first? | 21:42 |
| SnakeArt | My printer starts to print a test-page, but after few seconds it suspends. I'm using the pixma mp150 driver. | 21:42 |

| swiftfoxer | jrib | 21:42 |
| Steve-Cal | Stevethepirate: Well, I don't know of any GUIs for Grub (if you find a good one let me know), but I could give you the syntax to put in that menu.lst to get Windows going. | 21:42 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: I probably should use gmail as my smtp since I have an smtp account with them | 21:43 |
| Stevethepirate | Steve-Cal: I would love that.. Thing is I have like 5 harddrives.. so I'm not in a guessing mood :D | 21:43 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: hope they will let me | 21:43 |
| Noxide | Does anyone have any idea why my little Network Manager keeps disappearing? | 21:43 |
| JonDeere | Thanks, Steve! Trying the wizard | 21:43 |
| Stevethepirate | np | 21:43 |
| swiftfoxer | basically etc/resolve.conf does have my router ip as nameserver, furthermore etc/network/interfaces seems to be properly configured, but I still can't seem to get static ip to work on eth1 | 21:43 |
| icqnumber | Steve-Cal: i like suses graphical good looking grub menu... | 21:44 |
| Steve-Cal | Stevethepirate: No problem, first "sudo fdisk -l" and look for the Windows partition (ntfs). | 21:44 |
| sinayoks | yes | 21:44 |
| sinayoks | jitendra: yup I can connect using ssh (or ssh -X) | 21:44 |

| electromagnet | has anyone gotten an atheros ar5007eg wireless card to work on a 64 bit system? | 21:44 |
| swiftfoxer | brb | 21:44 |
| stu | electromagnet: you probably need to use madwifi trunk | 21:44 |
| Steve-Cal | axisys: Gmail as SMTP? what do you mean? It's all done over the web... | 21:45 |
| sinayoks | jitendra: i typed fish://user@IP | 21:45 |
| Stevethepirate | Steve-Cal: I'll look in fstab.. I have it mounted just remembered lol.. | 21:45 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: with nullmailer. | 21:45 |
| axisys | Steve-Cal: cli | 21:45 |
| jitendra | sinayoks: try using fish://user@IP/folder | 21:45 |
| stu | why would you want to talk to gmail via smtp ? | 21:45 |
| stu | axisys: ^ | 21:45 |
| Steve-Cal | axisys: Ah, I see. | 21:45 |
| jitendra | but i am not very sure. it worked for me sinayoks | 21:45 |
| electromagnet | stu i was under the impression madwifi only worked with the 32 bit systems currently | 21:45 |
| Stevethepirate | Steve-Cal: fdisk -l doesn't pick it up. | 21:45 |
| gorio_ | how to find a file ? ex,: i need to edit this file but i dont know where is itmodprobe.conf | 21:46 |
| stu | electromagnet: not sure, I know ndiswrapper is only for 32bit - not sure about madwifi | 21:46 |
| fiXXXerMet | After I modprobe an ehternet device, what do I need to do to make it show up as eth1? | 21:46 |
| Steve-Cal | Stevethepirate: You have to put sudo in front--did you do that? | 21:46 |
| stu | fiXXXerMet: ifconfig eth1 up | 21:46 |
| jrib | gorio_: locate itmodprobe.conf I'd guess it's in /etc/ somewhere | 21:46 |

| gorio_ | jrib thks | 21:48 |
| Noxide | Anyone mind helping me get a Broadcom WIFI card connect to an UNSECURED wireless network? | 21:48 |
| stu | axisys: you are not using an account, simply send your mail to your ISP so they can forward/route it | 21:48 |
| Steve-Cal | Stevethepirate: That should be enough. Do you have an sdaX? In other words, is sdbX your second drive or something? | 21:48 |
| JonDeere | Steve, the wizard appears to have stalled at "select pc101, pc104 or pc105" keyboard type stage | 21:48 |

| axisys | stu: for gmail u have to Auth before SMTP | 21:49 |
| Lr5 | Hibernating and resuming worked fine until the new kernel, and I would want to use the new kernel instead of old one | 21:49 |
| axisys | stu: let me check smtp.cox.net | 21:49 |

| axisys | stu: however since i am on cox's dhcp block i prob'ly dont need it | 21:50 |
| stu | axisys: your ISP will only allow SMTP connections from its customers, not just random people | 21:50 |
| jitendra | tux: doesn't apt-get remove work for u | 21:50 |

| Stevethepirate | SnakeArt: Mine doesn't even pick up the printer :( | 21:51 |
| tux | jitendra: no it didnt | 21:51 |
| sinayoks | jitindra: never mind. I guess I'll have to wait a few more month to get this sorted out ;-) | 21:51 |
| stu | axisys: if you want to use gmail then you have to use secure SMTP - search for something like setting up gmail on iphone as this give you all the relevant info | 21:51 |
| sinayoks | jitendra: never mind. I guess I'll have to wait a few more month to get this sorted out ;-) | 21:51 |
| sinayoks | jitendra: thanx for helping | 21:51 |
| Stevethepirate | I'll try on hardy like, as soon as I have fixed this problem and my xserver problem... | 21:51 |

| JonDeere | Steve, that config wizard was terribly interested in my keyboard layout but didn't mention video? | 21:59 |
| tux | jitendra: i was searchin in the debian name but when i rechecked i found out that there was one | 22:00 |
| stu | SnakeArt: the ???? is the command to force architecture | 22:00 |
| thomashartman1 | i mean, to get info about a package without installing it. | 22:00 |
| S4nD3r | How to ping some IPs of my segment?? | 22:00 |
| tux | jitendra: so i somehow uninstalled it and went with apt-get install ... | 22:00 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu: It should not be. Only DHCP/roaming mode works though. I set it to static but it won't work for some reason | 22:00 |
| tux | jitendra: but i always get the same problem | 22:00 |
| SnakeArt | stu: Ok.I'll try that. Sorry,I'm a newb in subject of package installing in terminal. | 22:00 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: I dont get what you are trying to do, what is eth1 connected to and why do you need it? | 22:00 |
| thomashartman1 | i guess this works ok: apt-cache search ri | grep -e '^ri ' | 22:01 |
| thomashartman1 | (ruby interactive reference) | 22:01 |
| gorio_ | can anyone help me ? i have a problem with my mic.. i have a toshiba a215 notebook... | 22:01 |
| S4nD3r | Id like to know which are IPs of computers from my localnetwork!!! | 22:01 |
| stu | SnakeArt: you could try --force | 22:01 |
| jitendra | tux: u mean u installed privoxy using apt-get and not dpkg | 22:01 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu: I use eth1 as my main port(this pc has 2 gblan ports) since it has better buffering, etc. | 22:01 |
| Swiftfoxer | (it's a pcie gblan module) | 22:01 |
| Lr5 | I have problems resuming from hibernation, I found lines like these in /var/log/syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16067/ | 22:01 |
| tux | jitendra: yes | 22:01 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: so what is eth1 connected to ? | 22:01 |
| Swiftfoxer | eth0 is just a regular pci module and does not have as much buffers. | 22:02 |
| jrib | thomashartman1: no need to grep though, you can use ^ in your search expression | 22:02 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: I mean eth0 | 22:02 |
| pior | hi guys | 22:02 |
| jitendra | tux | 22:02 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: ok, so you are using eth0 at the moment ? | 22:02 |
| JonDeere | Steve, the xconfig wizard you gave me only wanted to know about my keyboard. It didn't affect the video? | 22:02 |
| pior | is it possible to get ufw for gutsy ? | 22:02 |
| jitendra | tux: trying purging the package | 22:02 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu: usually I don't connect eth0 to anything. I'm using eth0 at the moment though | 22:02 |
| thomashartman1 | gorio: i have a satellite and had some sound issues as well... what the hell did I do...? | 22:02 |
| Swiftfoxer | (because eth1 isn't working on static ip for some strange reason) | 22:02 |
| tux | jitendra: what is the exact command of that? | 22:02 |
| etronik | I really really need help recovering my failed upgrade... otherwise I'll have to resort to full install blitzing all my precious setup... TIA | 22:02 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: ok, so do you have two network cables plugged into the same network at the moment? or do you have to manually switch the cable to test eth1 ? | 22:03 |
| SnakeArt | stu: I was about to ask You about that command. Hold on, I'm gonna do it:) | 22:03 |
| jitendra | sudo apt-get remove --purge privoxy | 22:03 |
| stu | dpkg --purge privoxy | 22:03 |
| etronik | precious ? I wanted to say previous! but precious will also do | 22:03 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu: I manually switch the cable. I'm supposed to use eth1. I tested eth0, and it works. | 22:04 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: ok, how is eth0 setup? roaming mode? | 22:04 |
| pim | What would I use to burn an iso to a cd? | 22:05 |
| SnakeArt | stu: I've typed in terminal "dpkg --install --force '/home/snakeartworx/Pulpit/scangearmp-mp210series_1.10-1_i386.deb" and I've received unknown command force/refuse. | 22:05 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu: also static. Just that static works on eth0, not eth1. Different ips of course. | 22:05 |
| Alucardo | Hi everyone | 22:05 |
| Alucardo | I have a question | 22:05 |
| S4nD3r | sorry, i didnt read | 22:05 |
| stu | SnakeArt: man dpkg look for the correct force syntax | 22:05 |
| tux | stunatra: what does the dpkg command purge do? | 22:05 |
| Alucardo | does anyone knows UbuDSL application? | 22:06 |
| edson | ubuntu runnig macbook pro MB133LL/A? | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | in #radeon | 22:06 |
| jitendra | tux: it deletes configuration file of the package | 22:06 |
| === ubuntu is now known as dmb | ||
| tux | ah ok | 22:06 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: give them the same IP address, as they are never plugged in at the same time they can't conflct. Then, switch cables... type sudo ifconfig eth1 down - then sudo ifconfig eth1 up - then try connect; if that fails, try ping an ip address on your network (router for example) and take note of the error message | 22:06 |
| tehpunkprodigy | I have apt to install security updates without asking, is there a log made of when it installed the updates? | 22:06 |
| tux | jitendra: and now i use apt-get install? | 22:06 |
| stu | Swiftfoxer: leave a 10 second gap between the up/down/ping | 22:07 |
| Alucardo | great | 22:07 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu | 22:07 |
| Swiftfoxer | oh okay | 22:07 |
| Swiftfoxer | brb | 22:07 |
| thomashartman1 | gorio: there are a whole bunch of drivers for toshiba (and other laptop) for ubuntu bundled up in this project called "omnibook" | 22:07 |
| Alucardo | thanks for help:/ | 22:07 |
| user___ | pim: just insert the empty cd into the drive. nautilus will then offer you a window, where you drag and drop the iso file in. then burn | 22:07 |
| jitendra | tux: do give it a try. i hope it works | 22:07 |
| thomashartman1 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748641 | 22:07 |
| thomashartman1 | not sure if this will help you with your issue but give it a look | 22:07 |
| JonDeer1 | Sorry, lost net. That setup wizard only did the keyboard, Steve | 22:07 |
| tux | jitendra: ok working on it | 22:07 |
| Bits | 2 questions: why don't some DVDs load in gutsy (any ideas?) and can i expect any issues upgrading to 8.04 from 7,10 using update manager? | 22:08 |
| thomashartman1 | it helped me with a problem I was having that screen dimmed unpredictably (power management borked) but I think I saw that there was other stuff packaged in with that as well. | 22:08 |
| thomashartman1 | including maybe sound | 22:08 |

| mainstreet | can I run linux-only files if I use "Install inside Windows"? | 22:10 |
| JonDeer1 | Steve, that setup wizard only asked keyboard questions, was that normal? | 22:10 |
| dyerseve | stu: i dont have a dns server, but it seems to be resolving the name to some random computer somewhere on the internet rather than using netbios name resolution | 22:10 |
| Stevethepirate | JonDeer1: No. | 22:10 |
| JonDeer1 | Ahhh. OK | 22:10 |
| jrib | mainstreet: not sure what you mean by "linux-only files" but, yes, probably | 22:10 |
| r4wmunt34q | hey guys | 22:10 |
| mainstreet | jrib: Like anope... you can't run it on windows... | 22:10 |
| icqnumber | JonDeer1: what wizard? | 22:10 |
| stu | dyerseve: you might need samba to use wins resolution; during the samba install it will ask you questions about using wins server etc. Whether linux can actually broadcast for a netbios resolution I dont know - I just use IP addresses | 22:11 |
| === majwd_ is now known as majwd | ||
| JonDeer1 | Steve gave me this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:11 |
| marcos_ | hello | 22:11 |
| jrib | mainstreet: I have no idea what anope is, but if it's just a program that runs on linux, then yes, you can run it | 22:11 |
| JonDeer1 | That brought up a series of questions about my keyboard layout, a series of like 5 questions, then dropped back to console | 22:11 |
| r4wmunt34q | How can I open .rar files in Ubuntu Hardy please? | 22:11 |
| jrib | !rar > r4wmunt34q (read the private message from ubottu) | 22:11 |
| stu | dyerseve: also, if your hostname is responding to a computer on the internet you must be adding some kind of dns suffix automatically in your networking - you could try remove that | 22:12 |
| jrib | r4wmunt34q: install the "unrar" package from multiverse and double click on your rar | 22:12 |
| dyerseve | stu: doesn't that require actually having a wins server on the network? also, smbclient does broadcast for netbios resolution (once i changes smb.conf to say name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host wins); if smbclient can do it shouldn't cifs be able to as well? | 22:12 |
| etronik | is "root=UUID=BunchOfNumbers " on grub ooks Ok to you == or should I have something like root=/dev/hdaX ?? | 22:12 |
| r4wmunt34q | thanks jrib | 22:13 |
| stu | dyerseve: thats what I am not sure about, I know samba can use wins... I dont know about cifs | 22:13 |
| baalsgate | im having cron issues with some scripts that run fine from the command shell not running from cron ? | 22:13 |
| icqnumber | JonDeer1: the first wuestion was not a key board question for sure | 22:13 |
| stu | dyerseve: any windows server on your network (master browser) could act as a wins server | 22:13 |
| stu | well windows box, doesnt have to be server | 22:14 |
| icqnumber | JonDeer1: question* | 22:14 |
| tinin | how could I start another graphical session with icewm on a different virtual desktop (Ctrl+Alt+F1), what's the command? | 22:14 |
| JonDeer1 | Hehehe well I pasted it just like shown... Is my Ubuntu going strange? | 22:14 |
| JonDeer1 | Go ahead, Icqnumber | 22:14 |
| stu | tinin: startx ? | 22:14 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu, nope, still doesn't work | 22:14 |

| tinin | startx does not work, as it tells me x is beeing used in display 0 yet stu | 22:15 |
| tinin | weird | 22:15 |
| stu | tinin: are you spanish ? | 22:15 |
| === ubuntu is now known as dmb | ||
| tinin | sure | 22:15 |
| Swiftfoxer | stu yes it was the same ip address | 22:15 |
| stu | obvious :P | 22:15 |
| Swiftfoxer | link light? I'm not sure... I forgot to check | 22:15 |
| user___ | baalsgate: i just know that cron jobs get started within their own shell environment, which is different from your terminal console.. | 22:15 |
| dyerseve | stu: having a wins server wasn't necessary with windows; anyway, how do i check for/remove a dns suffix? (right now the xp machine im trying to connect to is just called "quark") | 22:16 |
| stu | tinin: Im not sure how you run multuple X sessions | 22:16 |
| Swiftfoxer | (but the link light behind my pc, at the port is ALWAYS on, even when not plugged in. Freaky) | 22:16 |
| Swiftfoxer | brb | 22:16 |
| gwern | hola everyone. so my current keyboard situation is kind of messed up (' and " sort of work, but single-apostrophe also causes an up-key!, and delete is weird as it both deletes and inserts a \). how do I trigger some sort of sane autodetection of the correct settings? (it is a microsoft digital pro media keyboard) | 22:16 |
| baalsgate | user___ so can there be a some difference in this shell enviroment that I may need to look at ? | 22:16 |
| JonDeer1 | So, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" should NOT ask about keyboard layout.... But it does... Help? | 22:16 |
| stu | dyerseve: in a workgroup environment the windows boxses elect a master browser - this server keeps track of who is who, its not a wins server like it is in a domain enivonment but there is a degree of netbios/wins resolution | 22:17 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone else noticing OOo flubbing up on files over an nfs share? | 22:17 |
| icqnumber | JonDeer1: no, it will ask about key board too | 22:17 |
| stu | dyerseve: have you given your ubuntu server a FQDN? such as box.somewhere.com or just a hostname such as box ? | 22:17 |
| JonDeer1 | It should keep asking questions after that though, and so it failed somewhere along the way? | 22:17 |

| stu | dyerseve: and when you ping quark from the terminal is it resolving to to quark.something ? what IP address are you getting back? | 22:19 |
| user___ | craigbass1976: sun invented nfs and also work on the ooo codebase, but they cant seem to fix this | 22:19 |
| Flannel | doomx3: wineup? | 22:19 |
| craigbass1976 | user___, spiffy | 22:19 |

| doomx3 | wineup is a player for windows but i don't find in ubuntu | 22:20 |
| seanh | craigbass1976: by me and by sudo, it's not that the directory permissions are read-only, but that it says it's a read-only filesystem | 22:20 |

| Mecha25 | Looking for Gnome Screensaver help | 22:28 |
| Josdell | Flannel: just a whole bunch of Hit and Ign and Get: for sudo apt-get update and now its upgrading for sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:28 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: no I don't want to maximize to both screens, only to one screen | 22:28 |
| UbuntuJul | jrib: could you ask ubot3 to send me link again? i closed too quickly! | 22:28 |
| jrib | Mecha25: best to just ask the channel your question | 22:28 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: I' m not totally sure, but merge fb and big desktop both have acceleration | 22:28 |
| emma | Mecha25: What problems are you having? | 22:28 |
| jrib | !lamp > UbuntuJul (read the private message from ubottu) | 22:28 |
| Flannel | Josdell: No errors? | 22:28 |
| matthias_N | jrib: see http://pastebin.com/d612da88a | 22:29 |
| Josdell | Flannel: Nope | 22:29 |
| etronik | I'll just give up for the day !! | 22:29 |
| selocol | Hello, I can use synclient to turn on and off my touchpad, but how do I do the same thing for my notebook's pointer? | 22:29 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: what do you mean trick is resolution etc ? | 22:29 |
| Mecha25 | emma: I have 2 monitors and a crap video card, I'd like my screensaver to only show up on one, but i always shows up on both, and lags like crazy | 22:29 |
| Flannel | Josdell: alright, looks like its fixed | 22:29 |
| etronik | tired of this freakin thing - only wastes time | 22:29 |
| matthias_N | jrib: i figured out that compiz is the one causing the problem ... by not installing anything about compiz ... and i installed the rest ... | 22:29 |
| Mecha25 | I already tried XScreenSaver, still won't display on just one | 22:29 |
| Josdell | Flannel: alright thanks | 22:29 |
| jrib | matthias_N: what ubuntu version are you using and which are you upgrading to? | 22:29 |
| afallenhope | it turns out it works just had to change something in the settings rather than "auto detect" had to change it to "asla" | 22:29 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: I have seen tutorials where both resolutions should have same height | 22:29 |
| Josdell | etronik: what snt booting | 22:29 |
| tinin | Hi, how could I start another graphical session with icewm on a different virtual desktop (Ctrl+Alt+F1), what's the command? | 22:29 |
| localhos1 | or they take the smalles of both heights | 22:30 |
| matthias_N | jrib: hardy and i got an notification that there is upgrades ... | 22:30 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: as far as I know that should not be nessecaryy; I use nvidia however, so things could be different; I use different resolution no prob | 22:30 |
| localhos1 | and I want to use native resolution on both displays | 22:30 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: both screens are flat ? | 22:30 |
| jrib | matthias_N: hmm, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:31 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: what do you mean, lcd? yes | 22:31 |
| jrib | matthias_N: how did you determine it was compiz? | 22:31 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: native resolution; ok, so they are; I see. Should really be no problem | 22:31 |
| matthias_N | jrib: once doing the updates it tells me to do an partial upgrade and when i do it fails with this eror ... | 22:31 |
| Deepthought | have you tried ? | 22:31 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1, if you are using an ATI graphics card, good freaking luck! it took me 3 weeks of work to get my duals working with different resolutions | 22:31 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: it still isn't reliable either | 22:31 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: !dualscreen | 22:31 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: why not post your config on pastebin? :) | 22:31 |
| Deepthought | localhos1|!dualscreen | 22:32 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: indeed, dual screen and big desktop are different things | 22:32 |
| Mecha25 | um... it's very resolution-specific, and it's not all in xorg. Most of it's poking at ATI catalyst until it works | 22:32 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: I do not want dual screen | 22:32 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: no, I was trying to get a link from the bot; wait I' ll look it up myself | 22:32 |
| Mecha25 | oh! you want 2 separate x sessions? | 22:32 |
| sylvok | hmm my wifi is being slow and lagging up my whole system to the point of unusablility (if thats a word) anyone up for a challenge (Note: I am completely new to linux in general) | 22:32 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: oh ok :) | 22:33 |
| matthias_N | jrib: i have some problem with the apt.source lists besaue it says that tere is several versions of the file ... | 22:33 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: do you want 2 separate x sessions? | 22:33 |
| Mecha25 | I can do that | 22:33 |
| jrib | matthias_N: pastebin the contents | 22:33 |
| Mecha25 | emma: you got any idea on the gnome-screensaver thing? | 22:34 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: Mecha25, 2 seperate sessions is probably not what loca.. wants, gives two desktops, you need only one | 22:34 |
| sylvok | anyone here good at wifi willing to lend a hand to a total noob? | 22:34 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 | 22:34 |
| jrib | matthias_N: do you understand what I am asking? | 22:35 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: I want to be able to drag windows from one screen to the other. maximize should max to one screen only. I have just tried xinerama and this maximizes to both screens, also I loose right part of the second screen | 22:35 |
| === mizai_ is now known as mizai | ||
| ectospasm | localhos1: are you using nvidia? | 22:35 |
| === ubuntu is now known as dmb | ||
| Mecha25 | localhos1: I was afraid of that. It's what I have, but it crashes just about every hour and a half, took me 3 weeks to setup, and has to be reconfigured every login | 22:36 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: thank you. I already found that one and tried xinerama, but that doesn't do what I want | 22:36 |
| jcn | Hello, my problem is : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then sudo -i then sudo sh nameoftheNvidiadriver = pb with kernel why ?! Ive a NvidiaGeForce 9600 GT | 22:36 |
| localhos1 | ectospasm: ati radeon x600 with fglrx driver | 22:36 |
| matthias_N | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d7650e11 | 22:36 |
| ectospasm | localhos1: that sucks, because TwinView is what you want, and nvidia only IIRC | 22:36 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: that link has some extra links and a good sum up of the different modes; however it does everything by xorg.conf. On nvidia I do it all now with nvidia-settings, is much easier with gui-interface; as far as I know either aticonfig or radeontool is the equivalent and should be your easiest option | 22:36 |
| jrib | matthias_N: open it with gedit | 22:37 |
| emma | Mecha25: I'm afraid I do not. I know that you currently cannot have different wall-papers on different workstations in GNOME so you may not be able to have different screensavers either. | 22:37 |
| compengi | what are tabs at the bottom horizontal panel when you open any application or browser called? | 22:37 |
| localhos1 | Deepthought: will skip twinview (nvidia only) and mergedFB (no binary driver), will try BigDesktop | 22:37 |
| jrib | matthias_N: remind me to help you sort that .swp issue later | 22:37 |
| Mecha25 | emma: thanks for the help, I'll keep looking | 22:37 |
| ectospasm | compengi: window buttons? | 22:37 |
| emma | Mecha25: if you find something let me know, someone in the future might have a similar question. | 22:37 |
| ectospasm | compengi: taskbar buttons? | 22:38 |
| Mecha25 | emma: will do | 22:38 |
| matthias_N | jrib: i have fixeed it by deleting the swp file ... | 22:38 |
| Mecha25 | anyone link me to the pastebin and tell me how to use it? sorry, I'm new to IRC | 22:38 |
| emma | !pastebin | Mecha25 | 22:39 |
| ubot3 | Mecha25: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:39 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: in a sec, I should be able to pastebin you my xorg.conf, you'll have to reconfigure the resolutions, but it should vaguely work | 22:39 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: I see problem; that you loose right side on one screen means it thinks the screens are both same width, you can configure dead section in xorg.conf, but that is hassle; probably you should try the other mode (if you used big desk use merge fb or ><). Also; xinerama is a setting, not a mode (ie you can have mergeFB with or without xinerama, big desk idem | 22:39 |
| davidoooo | anyone knows how to use rsync | 22:39 |
| davidoooo | I can't exclude folders to ma ke rsync | 22:39 |
| matthias_N | jrib: see http://pastebin.com/m2f9684a2 | 22:40 |
| Deepthought | xinerama makes possible to max to one screen and drag from one to another. The separate x session someone mentioned makes dragging from one to other impossible. So you really need xinerama with either mergfb or big desktop | 22:40 |

| davidoooo | don't make I want | 22:41 |

| jrib | matthias_N: run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:41 |
| kmorrissey | hi everyone, can anyone check there repos for ubuntu 7.10 I appear managed to stuff mine and need to add them back thanks | 22:41 |

| Mecha25 | um... I used the pastebin, localhos1: how do I get it to you? | 22:41 |
| Mecha25 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/16071/ I think | 22:42 |

| JonDeer1 | How do I do that? | 22:42 |
| matthias_N | jrib: seemed to work, installed compiz ..., thanks ... | 22:43 |

| matthias_N | jrib: and it did solve the compiz problem but than it installed openoffice packages and not it complains about openoffcie ..., do the procedure again ??? | 22:47 |
| Devrethman | like coreTemp? | 22:47 |
| kmorrissey | thanks | 22:47 |
| vladutzu01 | hi | 22:47 |
| JonDeer1 | I think the best approach may be to uninstall the video driver altogether and get a new copy downloaded | 22:47 |
| jrib | matthias_N: I'm just asking for you to show me the output | 22:48 |
| sennr | anyone here tried installing the google android sdk ? | 22:48 |
| ^NighT^WalkeR^ | any one know how i can debug in linux | 22:48 |

| ectospasm | ^NighT^WalkeR^: debug what? | 22:48 |
| ubuntunewb | i have a dual boot sys ( XP / ubuntu) | 22:49 |

| localhos1 | I'm back. running into something. I followed the forum topic and did this: | 22:49 |
| ubuntunewb | I restartet and the grub bootmanager wont load , now i dont know how to fix it correctly | 22:49 |
| localhos1 | sudo aticonfig --desktop-setup=horizontal --sync-vsync=on --add-pairmode=1440x900+1280x1024 | 22:49 |
| ^NighT^WalkeR^ | ectospasm, c code | 22:50 |
| Deepthought | localhos1: have you tried radeontool ? The way I | 22:50 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: can you go back and look at my pastebin, it's the xorg.conf that does what you want it to | 22:50 |
| ectospasm | ^NighT^WalkeR^: man gdb | 22:50 |
| Flannel | ^NighT^WalkeR^: gdb | 22:50 |
| localhos1 | this results in the following line in the device section: Option "PairModes" "0x0+0x0,1440x900+1440x900" | 22:50 |
| compengi_ | Devourer, sensors-applet is nice | 22:50 |
| compengi_ | !sensors-applet | Devourer | 22:50 |

| Devrethman | Okay, yeah, that was for me | 22:51 |
| Deepthought | ubuntunewb: ai, is a problem; you can start the system from the live-cd (the one you installed with), you are in windows now ? | 22:51 |
| matthias_N | jrib: yes ... i mean i am not trying to steer ubuntu to install others ... | 22:51 |
| Devrethman | thanks | 22:51 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: Deepthought, aticonfig is definitely command line, radeontool I think is the Catalyst control center GUI | 22:51 |

| localhos1 | worth trying? | 22:55 |

| jrib | matthias_N: yes, they are from -proposed. Do you understand what I told you before about the packages in this repository? | 22:56 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: only if you're willing to uninstall it and reinstall the regular one if it breaks | 22:56 |

| melch | I'm a linux newb but a long time OSX user with quicksilver love. I have some gnome-do questions. For some reason the open url pluging will not boot up firefox 3. Also i would like to know how to change the background picture. Any help would be great. Thanks | 22:57 |
| PauloRicardo | jrib: Oh, thanks. :) Starnestommy: Hmm, thank you too. :) | 22:57 |
| kdub | libwfb is there | 22:57 |
| matthias_N | jrib: what library do i suppose to uncheck ? | 22:57 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: sorry ni, could you give the url again? | 22:57 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: sure, one sec | 22:57 |
| Mecha25 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/16071/ | 22:57 |
| localhos1 | tnx | 22:57 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: it should work, that is NOT the full config! | 22:58 |
| matthias_N | jrib: unsupported updates ??? | 22:58 |
| jrib | matthias_N: if you don't want to use -proposed, disable them in System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 22:58 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: also, it's not configured for your screen resolutions, not to mention it's still buggy and needs the Catalyst config center to work. | 22:58 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: already thought so :) | 22:58 |
| jrib | matthias_N: it should say (ubuntu-proposed) | 22:58 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: make sure your sections match it, particularly the one at the bottom with 2 Monitor entries for one Screen entry | 22:59 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: that's the kicker | 22:59 |
| matthias_N | jrib: found it ...:), any other thing that supposed to be unchecked ??? | 22:59 |
| matthias_N | jrib: or that is it ... | 23:00 |
| localhos1 | I get a segmentation fault when I run amdcccle | 23:00 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: like I said, it's buggy as hell. there should be an entry under your Other menu in Applications, try that one | 23:00 |
| jrib | matthias_N: that's it. Do a 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' and you should see no upgrades | 23:01 |
| localhos1 | but I really dont "need" amdcccle, do I? | 23:01 |
| matthias_N | it worked, thanks | 23:01 |
| zepherin | oh theres a new version of wine, how do I get the package manager to pick it up for me? | 23:01 |
| === Tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek | ||
| matthias_N | jrib: thanks it worked .... | 23:01 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: I don't know. I certainly did. Then again, like I said, mine's still buggy; it works, but only for like an hour and a half at a time, and needs to be reconfigured every reboot | 23:01 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: good luck, my personal solution, once I get the money, is to switch to a NVidia card, those work flawlessly from what I've heard | 23:02 |
| kdub | nothing works flawlessly | 23:02 |
| yofel | zepherin, use the package repository of wine itself | 23:03 |
| Mecha25 | kdub: true. the grass is greener on the other side of the hill | 23:03 |
| kdub | i am getting this from x when i try and use the nvidia driver: | 23:03 |
| yofel | se winehq homepage for details | 23:03 |
| kdub | need libwfb but wfbscreeninit not found | 23:03 |
| kdub | and libwfb is there | 23:03 |
| Mecha25 | kdub: I have no idea, look up libwfb in synaptic, see if you need to install it | 23:03 |
| Mecha25 | kdub: whoops | 23:03 |
| kdub | its part of the nvidia driver as far as i can tell | 23:04 |
| Mecha25 | kdub: ok then... I'm no help to you though, I run ATI. anyone else here use NVidia? | 23:04 |
| zepherin | yofel, I tried but it runs the older version of wine. when I did | 23:04 |
| zepherin | sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list | 23:04 |
| kdub | i just switched from fedora solely for the nvidia driver, now after a month it stops working in ubuntu | 23:05 |
| kdub | kind of funny | 23:05 |
| Mecha25 | kdub: jeez, ironic much? that sucks, I've never used fedora, how is it? | 23:05 |
| tucuna | can't get serial mouse to work in hardy - this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto renders X useless - boots into black screen after resolution warning | 23:05 |

| amorphous_ | Hi | 23:07 |
| s3a | wat is grub boot eror 15? | 23:08 |
| amorphous_ | Is there any way to download older versions of ubuntu than Hardy? | 23:08 |

| jrib | amorphous_: releases.ubuntu.com | 23:08 |
| amorphous_ | jrib - thanks | 23:08 |
| localhos1 | now that's interesting... when X comes back up, it dumps me in low res mode and says there is something wrong with the configuration | 23:09 |
| localhos1 | and screen2 is a copy of screen1 | 23:09 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: did you apply the xorg.conf changes? | 23:10 |

| setite | vi :) | 23:12 |
| Flannel | afallenhope: update-alternatives --config editor | 23:12 |
| Flannel | afallenhope: also, set your EDITOR env var | 23:12 |
| Leefmc | Question: Are there any figures to how many humans are using Ubuntu? | 23:12 |
| yofel | why use vi? use vim! | 23:12 |
| Flannel | Moe|Joe: Just pop in an Ubuntu CD, and install, overwriting the Fedora partitions | 23:12 |
| Leefmc | Recent, atleast | 23:12 |
| afallenhope | Flannel: how about virtual terminals? you know the CTRL + ALT + F1 those don't work for me | 23:13 |
| cha0s | Leefmc: users? | 23:13 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: this is my current config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16075/ | 23:13 |
| Moe|Joe | Flannel: ah just what i thought then, tht wil also overwrite grub that fedora installed? | 23:13 |
| amorphous_ | ok... while i'm waiting for that to download... | 23:13 |
| amorphous_ | Anybody know anything about usb installs? | 23:13 |
| Leefmc | cha0s, People that have installed Ubuntu | 23:13 |
| Flannel | Moe|Joe: that'll be part of the install, yeah | 23:13 |
| Moe|Joe | kk | 23:13 |
| Moe|Joe | cheers bro | 23:13 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, Btw, I got ubuntu installed :) | 23:14 |
| amorphous_ | or... | 23:14 |
| cha0s | ah | 23:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Negromancer May I have a brief PM? | 23:14 |
| Mecha25 | first off put a 0 after Screen but before Default Screen, that'll keep Catalyst from erroring as much | 23:14 |
| cha0s | considering the nsa has a backdoor it should be availablesomewhere | 23:14 |
| amorphous_ | can anyone explain why Hardy wont install in any way shape or form on my Dell Optiplex 320? | 23:14 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, It was option #3, i found a shred of light. My CD Drive is only partially broken, it seems to have no problem reading tiny bits of data. Now the whole ubuntu cd was too much, but the ubuntu mini.iso was small enough for my cd drive to load, then it all worked like a charm! | 23:15 |
| rvhi | hi, i just bought a virtual server, it has minimum installation of 8.0.4. there is no directory /etc/modprobe.d and alias files under it | 23:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | amorphous_ At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 23:15 |
| Mecha25 | second, put Monitor "Acer AL1931" under Monitor "Configured Monitor" in the second section | 23:15 |
| Mecha25 | whoops! | 23:15 |
| juan_ | ok | 23:15 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: do that in the LAST section, not the second | 23:15 |
| Leefmc | cha0s, So, any idea? | 23:16 |
| cha0s | nah, i was joking anyways ;p | 23:16 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: add the following to the "Device" section: | 23:16 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: 8M estimated at the end of 2006 | 23:16 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: so you mean, 2 monitor lines in the last section? | 23:17 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: good to hear, that's something I don't want to go through again ;) | 23:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, Thanks, where did you get that from? | 23:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, I agree. | 23:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, I was also making progress on the net install too | 23:17 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: yep, 1 screen (a single XSession) on 2 monitors | 23:17 |
| [K4z3yu] | hi | 23:17 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: it's not technically correct, but it's the ONLY thing that worked for me, after 3 weeks of trying | 23:17 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, Much of the ubuntu wiki seems to be hard to find :/, there was a section for netbooting with presetup winxp progs | 23:17 |
| ralphz | I'm trying to customize LiveCD. I got pretty much everything working except I don't know how to customize Gnome menus "Applications", "Places", System" what files do I have to edit to see changes on the live CD? | 23:17 |
| [K4z3yu] | I need some help on Ubuntu 8.04 | 23:17 |
| emma | [K4z3yu]: the best thing to do is go ahead and ask your question or state your problem to see if anyone can help :) | 23:18 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: add these two lines to the end of the device section: Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "1" | 23:18 |
| [K4z3yu] | I'm running the LiveCD on my computer, but once the first loading screen has passed, I just get vertical flickering stripes on my screen | 23:18 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: and Option "Mode2" "1280x1024", except instead of 1280x1024, put in the resolution of your second monitor | 23:18 |
| amorphous_ | how can i get to change the install options on a usb install??? | 23:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: http://robitaille.wordpress.com/2006/12/30/ubuntu-now-has-over-8-millions-users/ | 23:19 |
| Mecha25 | if it doesn't work, you can always boot to recovery mode | 23:19 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: 1280x1024 *is* the resolution of my second monitor... | 23:19 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: d'oh | 23:19 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: sorry about that, keep it as it is then | 23:19 |
| localhos1 | :) | 23:19 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: oh, and remove the pairmode thing, mine doesn't have that, and I don't think it needs it | 23:20 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: alt+ctrl+backspace, nothing should change, both monitors should be showing the same image, the second one possibly distorted | 23:20 |
| localhos1 | ok, pairmode doesnt seem to work anyway | 23:20 |
| localhos1 | saving xorg.conf... | 23:21 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: then use Catalyst, once you restart X, to setup the screens the way it is done in windows, it might error out and reboot, but take it one step at a time | 23:21 |
| [K4z3yu] | I have an AMD64 processor, so I decided to go for the amd64 CD of Ubuntu 8.04, I get to boot from it, and select language, and then I try to go to the live mode. The loading starts, but once the loading has finished, all I get is green and teal flickering stripes going vertically on my monitor. | 23:21 |

| carrus85 | (8.04) ok; so I have an shared NTFS partition at /dev/sdb5 (partition on an internal sata drive). It can be mounted on demand through the Places/Removable Drives menu. However, I'm not exactly sure how to automatically mount the partition at startup. Since I haven't used fuse a lot, is it possible to just drop it into fstab with fuseblk as the partition type, or is a more exotic solution necessary? | 23:23 |
| Mecha25 | carrus85: you can use fstab to make it automount, I'm not exactly sure how, I did it a while ago | 23:24 |
| localhos1 | Mecha25: it says that there is no ATI driver installed or that the driver isn't functioning properly | 23:24 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: after restarting X? | 23:24 |
| localhos1 | yes | 23:24 |
| localhos1 | so segfault though, so there is progress :) | 23:25 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: well crap. This is what happened to me. Can you edit xorg.conf? | 23:25 |
| localhos1 | of course | 23:25 |
| partmanproblems | excuse me | 23:25 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: pastebin your xorg.conf, the problem is there, Catalyst hasn't even got a chance to run yet | 23:25 |

| partmanproblems | or so it says | 23:27 |
| carrus85 | STSX, no. I've just haven't had to use FUSE for anything beyond the one off sshfs mount, and was wondering if there are any problems with just shoving it into the fstab (I didn't think there would be, but with FUSE being user-space oriented, I just wasn't sure) | 23:27 |

| localhos1 | and same error from amdcccle | 23:36 |
| Mecha25 | localhos1: hm.... You're right where I was a week ago, Catalyst worked for me without the segfault, it just tended to crash after every 3rd setting change | 23:37 |
| localhos1 | it doesn't start at all for me :( | 23:38 |

| selocol | hi when (1) gksudo synaptic then (2) use ctrl+space to change the input method of gcin (or let's just say any application), instead of changing the input method of the preexisting app, a new app/clone opens under root. How do i prevent this from happening? thanks | 23:47 |

| Naisenu | Good day, chat. My question has to do with Flash and FF3RC1 (running Gutsy still). I get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16080/ Yet Flash works in Opera ... Tried a google search for what it says is missing and searching the Ubuntu Forums. | 23:49 |
| Q_Continuum | Hmmmm. Documented problem with FF3b5 just hanging out as a process when launched, and have to kill it and reboot to get FF to work again? | 23:49 |
| Naisenu | (Editing my own, I get the error as above when I try to install the plugin.) | 23:49 |
| cgentry72 | i cant get mp3 files to play but they have played before exaile keeps locking up | 23:50 |

| AcornAcorn | argh, i'm hopelessly lost, how do i get programs for playing audio and video that will support all the codecs? i tried vlc and my divx had no sound, tried amarok and it wont play .flac :( | 23:50 |
| HymnToLife | Naisenu: you could try installing the plugin manually | 23:50 |
| aznanimedude | you might need to install codecs | 23:50 |
| aznanimedude | if you dont' have the right codecs not gonna play i don't think | 23:50 |
| STSX | Xecuter: In case no one can answer your question here, probably a better place to ask would be #grub | 23:50 |
| HymnToLife | Naisenu: download it from Adobe, and copy libflashplayer.so in Firefox's plugins directory | 23:50 |
| AcornAcorn | aznanimedude: how do i get codecs? | 23:51 |
| Xecuter_ | STSX: thanks | 23:51 |
| AcornAcorn | aznanimedude: just apt-get install flac? | 23:51 |
| HymnToLife | Xecuter_: if find says hd2,0, then it's hd2,0 | 23:51 |
| aznanimedude | check the package | 23:52 |
| HymnToLife | what makes you think it's not correct ? | 23:52 |
| aznanimedude | dont remember the actual name if there was one | 23:52 |
| Xecuter_ | HymnToLife: no its not | 23:52 |
| STSX | AcornAcorn: You should give VLC media player a try as it comes with all the codecs it requires. | 23:52 |
| HymnToLife | Xecuter_: what makes you think that? | 23:52 |
| grobda24 | AcornAcorn ... https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html | 23:52 |
| Xecuter_ | HymnToLife: cuz the boot-dir is in /dev/sda1 | 23:52 |
| HymnToLife | so what? | 23:52 |
| === lancetw_ is now known as lancetw | ||
| Sergeant_Pony | is there a way I can make vlc the default media /audio player? | 23:52 |
| DeepThought | AcornAcorn: just open synaptic- do a search for codec, and install' m all; you should be able to play everything with amarok then | 23:52 |
| Naisenu | HymnToLife: Do you know what the path is to the FF plugins? | 23:52 |
| HymnToLife | you think you know better than GRUB? | 23:52 |
| Xecuter_ | HymnToLife: and i've tried hd(2,0), not working | 23:53 |
| HymnToLife | Naisenu: should be /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 23:53 |
| thelian | hello, what was the package i'm supposed to reconfigure if gnome isn't working? | 23:53 |
| HymnToLife | thelian: define "not working" | 23:53 |

| nico8481 | any idea how to delete all junk messages from an Evolution mbox file ? for some reason Evolution doesn't show them anymore (though it says there are 59 of them) so I can't delete them from there :-/ | 23:54 |
| kanpachi | hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on a mac mini , no dual boot, just ubuntu, and it installs fine, but won't boot :( anyone can help? | 23:54 |
| thelian | and i'm stuck with command lind | 23:54 |
| thelian | lne* | 23:54 |
| HymnToLife | Xecuter_: then something is wrong, did you do anything uncomon recently? | 23:54 |
| thelian | line** | 23:54 |

| FloodBot3 | thelian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:54 |
| HymnToLife | thelian: then it's most likely X that's broken, not Gnome | 23:54 |
| PCcertified | Problem installing webcam with easycam, it complains that I am not using the same compiler that my kernel was compiled with. CC=gcc-3.4 and Kernel compiler: gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) should I set the CC variable to the 4.2.3 version? | 23:54 |
| cypha | what's a good server for linux? i'm using xampp for windows, and it's raelly really easy | 23:54 |

| DeepThought | Xecuter_: sometimes in grub the hd' s are numbered different at boot then they are when the system is up &runnung; I had that problem | 23:55 |
| HymnToLife | !lamp | cypha | 23:55 |
| ubot3 | cypha: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:55 |
| Xecuter_ | HymnToLife: Yep, deleted the wrong folder ;P so my arch-boot folder is in /dev/sda1 | 23:55 |
| DeepThought | Xecuter_: can be corrected in /boot/grub/devices.map | 23:55 |
| cypha | great, thanks HymnToLife! | 23:55 |
| m-c | Q: I am trying to set up multiple, bootable linux distributions. Do I need to install from a live-cd for each? | 23:55 |
| Xecuter_ | DeepThought: thanks ill check! | 23:56 |
| HymnToLife | m-c: no, whether you install from a Live CD or a text-based installer is unimportant | 23:56 |

| ubot3 | PCcertified: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 23:56 |
| DeepThought | Xecuter_: in my case grub kept on getting wrong number in menu, so no boot; changed devices map and now is ok | 23:56 |
| m-c | HymnToLife: but do I need to boot to a CD for each, or can I put the bits on the partition within ubuntu ? | 23:56 |
| jbroome | darn it, who keeps changing the name of the bot? | 23:57 |
| DeepThought | Xecuter_: takes some xperimenting though; remember you can always edit grub at boot for that session if goes wrong | 23:57 |
| thelian | HymnToLife: it says overwritting possible customized configuration file | 23:57 |
| HymnToLife | m-c: you can either a) have a shared /boot partition for all your distros, or b) just let every distro have it's own bootloader | 23:57 |
| Xecuter_ | DeepThought: yea, but i cant do it if i get grub error 15, so i have to find the right disk first | 23:58 |
| Naisenu | HymnToLife: Copied the .so file to the plugins directory and it still wants to install the Flash player | 23:58 |
| HymnToLife | b) is simpler, but each distro needs to be installed on a primary partition (i.e. you can't have more than four) | 23:58 |
| m-c | HymnToLife: I am fine with whatever is easiest. I just do not want to have to (a) create a bootable CD for each distro, and (b) have to reboot for each install | 23:58 |
| DeepThought | Xecuter_: error 15 is partition not found or not moubtable ? | 23:58 |
| DeepThought | mountable | 23:58 |
| amenado | what triggers login prompt to display after several minutes of un-used terminal? its not screensaver because I had those set at 45 minutes.. | 23:58 |

| kanpachi | hey | 23:59 |
| Xecuter_ | DeepThought: i have no /boot/grub/devices.map | 23:59 |
| HymnToLife | m-c: then make sure the root filesystem for each distro is on a primary partitin | 23:59 |
| HackOfChris | I get a message "Failed to execute child process "gnome-sound-properties" (No such file or director)" | 23:59 |
