| ubottu | ferbyboy: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:00 |
| BobCFC | DJ_Cranky: anyway with sudo you can do anything | 00:00 |
| cyphase | drash: maybe this will end up turning into some sort of new widgets program that's included in the next Ubuntu. who knows | 00:00 |
| fyrestrtr | Y-Town: how fast is the disk? | 00:00 |
| Y-Town | fyrestrtr: 7200 sata drive | 00:01 |
| chuck__ | Hi, whenever i update Ubuntu that requires a reboot, the firewall blocks all network traffic, is there a way to avoid this? | 00:01 |

| tuxone | chuck__: you use iptables? | 00:02 |
| BobCFC | DJ_Cranky: something like sudo usermod -a MYNAME sambagroup will add you to the group | 00:02 |
| DJ_Cranky | BobCFC i am in the group, that did not help | 00:02 |
| Y-Town | fyrestrtr: Running 2 gig of ram and may boost to 4 if needed | 00:02 |
| BobCFC | DJ_Cranky: does the group have read/write permission? | 00:03 |
| grendel | h | 00:03 |
| fyrestrtr | Y-Town: to get the most out of 4GB you'll need the 64-bit kernel. | 00:03 |
| Tstantonfsu | hey i was wondering if anyone could teach me how to get the program that makes it so you can zoom out and see your desktop as a 3d cube | 00:03 |
| chuck__ | tuxone - i just disable in guarddog, but have iptables rules that allow bothway traffic | 00:03 |
| DJ_Cranky | BobCFC it obviously doesnt because i cant change anything :( | 00:03 |

| Tstantonfsu | geforce 7000m i think | 00:04 |
| fyrestrtr | Y-Town: if you want to share files from your vmware guest and your ubuntu machine, then you'll need a FAT32 partition; suggest you make one 10 GB and mount it as /win-share, mount 40 GB as /virtual-disk ext3, and the rest /storage with xfs | 00:04 |
| thesilentwarrior | whats the key to change viewports btw | 00:04 |

| BobCFC | DJ_Cranky: as long as you know 777 gives world writable privilages | 00:09 |
| Keech | Gin: I had the same problem before with xChta i could not install it with syanptic i had to use sudo apt-get | 00:09 |

| LAU_ | if i upgraded from Ubunutu 7.04 to 7.10 from the Update Manager. Will data loss for any folder or files occur ? which means do i need to back up all my data? | 00:11 |
| Y-Town | zvacet: yes | 00:11 |
| thesilentwarrior | DJ_Cranky: Share is the name of folder | 00:12 |
| thesilentwarrior | i created | 00:12 |
| BobCFC | supertanker: history, BSD comes from the old UNIX code from 60s 70s, linux was started from scrath in 91 | 00:12 |
| burner | LAU_: always good to back up, but don't expect any data loss | 00:12 |
| DJ_Cranky | thesilentwarrior the folder needs to be called usershares in order for samba service to work with it | 00:12 |
| drash | LAU: you should be ok, although a backup of your data is always handy | 00:12 |
| supertanker | Ah | 00:12 |
| tuxone | drash: I'm agree | 00:12 |
| fyrestrtr | Y-Town: ah, then create /boot with 150 MB ext, /home with 100 GB ext3, /win-share 40 GB FAT32, /vms 100 GB ext3, /storage 250 GB xfs, /swap 8 GB, /tmp 5 GB and / the rest. | 00:12 |
| * jokoon is away: | 00:13 | |

| fyrestrtr | DJ_Cranky: maybe they don't like each other, except they have similar music tastes? | 00:13 |
| Y-Town | fyrestrtr: perfect thanks | 00:13 |

| fyrestrtr | DJ_Cranky: then install ssh on both and forget samba. | 00:14 |

| Tstantonfsu | gen | 00:16 |
| fyrestrtr | Y-Town: putting the kernels in a separate partition helps for recovery, /home in separate helps when backing up, /win-share for sharing items between your vm guest and host; although strictly speaking, if your vmnet is setup correctly you can remove that partition. / should contain only things for the core system, /tmp -- I make it separate as well, but you can choose to combine it if you like. | 00:16 |

| fyrestrtr | Y-Town: I'd put the virtual machines in a separate partition only because if you want to use (read: mount) the virtual machines from another box, it becomes easier. Although depending on how you want to use the system, if its going to be minimal use and just a vmhost, then you can even do more tweaking on the software side. | 00:18 |

| mike | Jack_Sparrow how does that solve anything, it just tells me wat envy is, ive tried envy and it has also failed me | 00:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mike sudo apt-get install envyng but I may be wrong | 00:33 |
| ___Alex___ | fyrestrtr: e.g., eth0 | 00:33 |
| akahige | BobCFC: it's not the desktop I'm after, it's the background in the gdm theme | 00:33 |

| mike | Jack_Sparrow i have also tried to use other nvidia drivers in envy and they force the computer into safe graphics mode | 00:35 |
| drash | mike: envyng-gtk or envyng-qt are also in synaptic, which one did you actually try ? | 00:35 |
| mike | Jack_Sparrow EnvyNG only | 00:35 |
| connor | sup everyone | 00:35 |

| connor | what exactly is emerald | 00:35 |
| mike | Jack_Sparrow i have done alot of trial and error before i came to irc | 00:36 |
| fyrestrtr | ___Alex___: I don't know what synce is or what it does, but as far as the network is concerned; if you can manage the devices from network manager, you should okay. If network manager is going on the fritz, then just edit /etc/network/interfaces | 00:36 |
| mike | Jack_Sparrow i have tried multiple things | 00:36 |
| me6ez | hello | 00:36 |
| BobCFC | connor: it lets you have transparent/glassy tilte bar effects | 00:36 |
| drash | mike: envyng-gtk worked for me without any problems .. might give it a try | 00:36 |
| ___Alex___ | fyrestrtr: I can change the primary device from eth0 to eth2, but I'd like both to be enabled at the same time | 00:36 |
| connor | hmm | 00:36 |
| connor | where cna i get emerald themes? | 00:36 |

| fyrestrtr | ___Alex___: why do you keep switching the primary device? | 00:36 |
| BobCFC | connor: www.compiz-temes.org | 00:36 |
| mike | drash i have tried that envyng-gtk install envyng | 00:36 |
| legend2440 | !emerald | connor | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mike fresh install and envyng cures most problems.. (except.. in my opinion 8000 series nvidia) | 00:37 |

| BobCFC | connor: theme oops | 00:37 |
| connor | how do i install these? | 00:37 |
| kitche | dimedo: it's the same font really just an option is turned off now I believe so the fonts do not look crisp | 00:37 |
| mike | Jack_Sparrow no it doesnt i have tried that aswell | 00:37 |
| fyrestrtr | ___Alex___: I don't understand what one has to do with the other. If eth0 is up, and you shutdown eth1, then what's the problem? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mike which nvidia cvard | 00:37 |
| root__ | Connor, where are you writing from? | 00:37 |
| === root__ is now known as pros9000 | ||
| me6ez | a way to force the screen size change ? | 00:37 |
| dimedo | kitche: do you know how i can reverse that setting? | 00:37 |
| ___Alex___ | fyrestrtr: because eth2 is a network between my pocketpc and my laptop (via usb) and eth0 is internet... I'd like to speak to both networks simulatneously. | 00:37 |

| grobda24 | conner ... have you found http://www.compiz-fusion.org/ ? | 00:44 |
| fyrestrtr | ___Alex___: left click on the icon near the clock that looks like two computer screens (on the top right of your desktop on default gnome). | 00:44 |
| fyrestrtr | ___Alex___: and choose manual configuration | 00:44 |
| grobda24 | me6ez ... did you see my link to you ? I had to add a setting to the xorg.conf settings file. Clear instructions are through that link. | 00:45 |
| BobCFC | connor: since hardy you can run compiz without emerald to match the old themes... to start emerald every time you boot goto System->Prefs->Session and create an item for emerald --replace | 00:45 |

| Anti-Tedd | grobda: apparently so | 00:54 |
| Anthrounit | so is it affecting it and not mounting it correctly | 00:54 |

| duh1337 | Hello, I'm new to linux, and am trying to figure out grub. I have 3 drives, 500GB Windows Vista, 500GB storage, and 80GB linux. I wanted to install ubuntu onto my new 80GB drive, and it went though with the install, and rebooted. I was disapointed when I selected my 80GB drive with my boot picker and it said MBR not found. So giving up I went back to my windows drive, and saw grub had an error 17. I didn't even want grub on m | 00:55 |
| peitschie | Anti-Tedd:... i'm googling now | 00:55 |
| Anti-Tedd | ahaha | 00:55 |
| eaglestar83 | ok thanks bobcfc will try | 00:55 |
| usser | Anthrounit, did u create mountpoint? ie /home/disk2 directory? | 00:55 |
| Anti-Tedd | I think I might have bought a time machine | 00:55 |

| wers | peitschie, actually, i'm fine with gnome but i always run virtualbox. at some point, I have to sacrifice firefox or virtualbox for my system to run smoothly | 01:14 |
| apallo | hello! I was wondering if someone could recommend a newsreader | 01:14 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: atm, i just put the ip, on the ubuntu config it says, to connect do vncviwer silent-laptop:0 | 01:14 |
| peitschie | wers: ahh. Well, virtualbox needs more ram. How much ram do you have? | 01:14 |
| wers | peitschie, 512 mb | 01:15 |
| peitschie | wers: I have the same issue running it on my laptop. As soon as I start running virtualbox it sucks up all my system memory | 01:15 |
| === fyrestrtr is now known as fyre|sleep | ||
| usser | thesilentwarrior, right so try vncviewer localhost:0 | 01:15 |
| peitschie | wers: wow! thats evil lol. For virtualisation stuff you want at least 1.5Gb I reckon... I have issues on 1Gb | 01:15 |
| wers | actually, everything is smooth if I just dont run firefox and vbox together | 01:15 |
| drash | alexconrad: why not use Synaptic for installing sun-java6-jre ? | 01:15 |
| sanzky | hello. Does anyone knows how to make the pidgin latex plugin work? | 01:15 |
| wers | peitschie, i'm running some lite xp ;) | 01:16 |
| peitschie | wers: yes. That is because firefox uses up a couple hundred megabytes of ram :-) | 01:16 |
| drash | AlexCONRAD: .. that will take care of depencies | 01:16 |
| wers | yeah but that's not the issue on fx3 | 01:16 |
| AlexCONRAD | drash: i'm installing these package on a offline pc, I copied thoses packages from a usb key | 01:16 |
| wers | if only swap can fix this | 01:16 |
| peitschie | wers: you can try xubuntu, i'd recommend fluxbuntu personally... but yer... I am not sure if that would make enough difference in ram. I'd recommend getting a least 1Gb of ram :) | 01:16 |
| peitschie | wers: a lighter windows manager such as xubuntu would help.... but you're still squeezing to fit all that stuff in memory | 01:17 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: | 01:17 |
| wers | peitschie, yeah. i dont want fluxbuntu because i dont believe in the quality of those derivatives. hehe | 01:17 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: works | 01:17 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: nasty effect tho | 01:17 |
| peitschie | wers: xubuntu is also a derivative ;) | 01:17 |
| usser | thesilentwarrior, infinite loop eh :) | 01:17 |
| usser | thesilentwarrior, try the same from the desktop, vncviewer ip:0 | 01:18 |
| wers | peitschie, it's an official one and much more people work on it | 01:18 |
| peitschie | wers: well... yes there definitely is that :) | 01:18 |
| friel | when i mount my 500gig hard drive, it only has root access, chmod will not let me change the permissions on the hd, and i can't figure out how to use my hd. | 01:18 |
| drash | AlexCONRAD: i see .. haven't done this myself, but did you try putting it on a cd-rom and using that via Synaptic ? | 01:18 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: works now, wtf, what changed? didnt notice | 01:18 |
| wers | yeah. i'll see if there's a ram usage difference. i'll buy more ram as soon as resources permit peitschie | 01:18 |
| AlexCONRAD | drash: nop, how can I do that ? | 01:19 |
| AlexCONRAD | I'm not sure java is on the CD | 01:19 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: thanks for the help mate =) | 01:19 |
| usser | thesilentwarrior, :0 at the end? | 01:19 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: hmm, i have to include it always? | 01:19 |
| Pingdiguo | hey everybody | 01:19 |
| usser | thesilentwarrior, sometimes ip is not enough cause vnc can use different ports ip by default links to 5900, vnc can run on 5800 and such | 01:19 |
| Pingdiguo | this is my 1st time to use irb~ | 01:19 |
| peitschie | wers: good luck :-). If you're ever interested, have a look at ram and swap usage when running virtual box. As soon as it starts eating into swap, things always slow down really bad for me :) | 01:20 |
| Pingdiguo | exit | 01:20 |
| usser | thesilentwarrior, :0 just maps to the first available remote display | 01:20 |
| thesilentwarrior | usser: i see, xD would have never guessed | 01:20 |
| wers | peitschie, been doing that. you're right. though i've been eating 100%cpu at some point, the real issue is ram | 01:20 |
| drash | AlexCONRAD: open Synaptic, use the menu item 'settings' > repositories > third party tab has a 'add cd-rom' option .. | 01:20 |

| nicknock | is there a way to tell if your running 32-bit or 64-bit? | 01:24 |
| Starnestommy | nicknock: uname -m | 01:24 |
| Starnestommy | nicknock: if that says x86_64, it's 64-bit | 01:25 |
| nicknock | if it's 64 bit what is the best way to convert it back to 32bit? | 01:25 |
| frank23 | nicknock: reinstall | 01:26 |
| nicknock | can i reinstall right on top of it? | 01:26 |
| frank23 | nicknock: you have to use the x86 cd | 01:26 |
| CorpseFeeder | what is the best way to copy 35Gb of files (a copy of a linux home directory) from an Apple iMac to my linux machine running Ubuntu 8.04? I've tried making an ftp link in nautilus - it just says "can't read file" or "file doesn't exist". I've tried gFTP - that just crashes with "segmentation fault". I'm trying with Krusader now - it is sort of working, but it is so slow, estimating up to 4 days to complete... If I try to | 01:27 |
| frank23 | nicknock: the partition will be formated by the installler I think | 01:27 |
| Aintaer | Okay this is strange | 01:27 |
| Aintaer | I appear to have two wireless interfaces | 01:27 |
| Aintaer | wlan0 and wmaster0 | 01:27 |
| Aintaer | trying to set parameters on wmaster0 gives no private ioctls | 01:28 |
| nicknock | 64-bit has a lot of problums correct? | 01:28 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | its the same thing! | 01:28 |
| usser | Aintaer, *sigh* its not strange no more | 01:28 |
| usser | Aintaer, do u have intel wireless? | 01:28 |
| Starnestommy | nicknock: I have no problems with 64-bit, although getting java to work took a little more effort than on the 32-bit version | 01:29 |
| frank23 | nicknock: well flash and some windows codecs are trickier to setup. | 01:29 |
| BobCFC | CorpseFeeder: you can copy files over ssh using scp | 01:29 |
| Aintaer | usser, nope, I have an RT2500 | 01:29 |
| frank23 | nicknock: but I haven't tried 64bit recently | 01:29 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, Just ignore wmaster0 and focus on wlan0 | 01:29 |
| nicknock | yea i think i installed the 64-bit and dvd isn't working nor skype. | 01:29 |
| frank23 | nicknock: well the dvd problem is probably not related to 64bit | 01:30 |
| frank23 | !dvd | 01:30 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 01:30 |
| Aintaer | trying to iwpriv wlan0 to set WPA key returns "no private ioctls." | 01:30 |
| usser | Aintaer, oh in any case wmaster0 is a virtual interface disregard it | 01:30 |
| frank23 | nicknock: but I always use x86. the loss in performance is minimal in most cases | 01:31 |
| frank23 | nicknock: unless you have 4GB of RAM or more I think | 01:32 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, What are you trying to accomplish with iwpriv? | 01:32 |
| Aintaer | Trying to set WPA PSK | 01:32 |
| nicknock | yea witch i wish i did use the x86 | 01:32 |
| BobCFC | nicknock: the only reason i use 64bit is because i have 8gb, to be honest 32bit would make life easier | 01:32 |
| b0xxy | in command line how can i check wat version of linux of have | 01:33 |
| Aintaer | uname -a | 01:33 |
| soldats | b0xxy: lsb_release | 01:33 |
| BobCFC | nicknock: if you have 3 or less use 32bit | 01:33 |
| usser | b0xxy, lsb_release -a | 01:33 |
| nicknock | that's why i'm going to down grade. | 01:33 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, you could install wpa_supplicant and use the networkmanager applet I believe | 01:33 |
| nicknock | what about windows games is that a pain to get going? | 01:34 |
| Aintaer | Ahadiel, I believe I already have the wpa_supplicant | 01:34 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, Then is WPA not working or something? | 01:35 |
| Aintaer | Well it seems like I can't get any networks to show up | 01:35 |
| Xpistos | damn I can't believe I missed Splitpaw | 01:35 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' return anything? | 01:36 |
| Xpistos | can anybody tell me how to set a share from the terminal | 01:36 |
| Aintaer | Hmm | 01:36 |
| Aintaer | It returns one thing | 01:36 |
| frank23 | nicknock: well it depends... sometimes pretty tricky, sometimes impossible. If gaming is important, keep a windows partition and dual boot | 01:36 |
| Aintaer | that is not my router | 01:36 |

| Aintaer | ESSID is some USR router | 01:36 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, Is your router broadcasting it's ESSID? | 01:36 |
| * BobCFC note to self.. dont press Alt-F4 to change desktop when you mean Super-F4 | 01:36 | |
| Aintaer | Ahadiel, I thought it was, but how do I make sure? | 01:37 |
| frank23 | nicknock: if it's only WoW, you should be able to get it working in linux and won't have to reboot in windows for example | 01:37 |
| Segadude | Can I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 in a wubi installation? | 01:37 |
| Ahadiel | Aintaer, Do you have any other wifi capable devices? Or you can check your router's web configuration. | 01:37 |
| nicknock | is there any sites for hardware bug reports ? | 01:37 |
| Aintaer | Ahadiel, yeah, I have a psp | 01:37 |
| Aintaer | it can find the router just fine | 01:37 |
| Aintaer | so can this laptop | 01:38 |
| BobCFC | nicknock: try launchpad | 01:38 |

| BCM43 | PCcertified: this is on a desktop machine? try session manager | 02:08 |
| edburns | BCM43: ShackJack I don't think it's hibernating, becuse I have some samba exported drives and I can continue to access them even with the lid closed. | 02:08 |
| lemonlaw95 | i have a radeon x1950 pro 512mb agp card. (oh joy) does anyone know how to make one of them work in linux mint? | 02:08 |

| adamorjames | BobCFC, at the bottom of this page it tells what command field http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23048.html | 02:08 |
| BCM43 | edburns: it must be going to sleep | 02:08 |

| ShackJack | edburns: You can see what the setting is under Power Management | 02:08 |
| DarkVampire | is there any fix for the agressive hard drive parking on laptops? | 02:08 |
| lemonlaw95 | someone? | 02:09 |
| edburns | BCM43: But how could it be going to sleep if I still can read and write files to the exported drives? | 02:09 |
| drash | cylux: just checked, my xubuntu and ubuntustudio both return ubuntu .. | 02:09 |
| BobCFC | adamorjames: ok i was on wrong tab... | 02:09 |
| BCM43 | edburns: you should be able to do that in sleep mode. hibernate and suspend will not let you | 02:09 |
| adamorjames | BobCFC, I need to know so I can search for it in the file you told me about (gdm.conf) | 02:09 |
| lemonlaw95 | does anyone here know how to get a radeon x1950 pro agp to work? | 02:10 |
| BobCFC | adamorjames: xserver command is: /usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 | 02:10 |
| PCcertified | BCM43: thanks for the short answer | 02:10 |
| ShackJack | lemonlaw95: This is an ubuntu chat... you should prolly use theres. but try the "Hardware Drivers" under Admin... it should tell you if you can use a restricted driver for it... | 02:10 |

| ShackJack | yuri_: You might be having trouble with PulseAudo - you can switch under sound settings (Alsa) to see if that makes an improvement... | 02:12 |
| edburns | BCM43: Can you give me a clue on how to find the specific preference you recommend I inspect? | 02:12 |

| ohgood | i'm having trouble finding a current livecd for ppc. anyone mind showing me the way ? | 02:27 |
| BobCFC | Xpistos: if you want to give it a domain change to static ip and write it to the /etc/hosts file on the server | 02:28 |
| BCM43 | loner269: sorry, put lspci in terminal | 02:28 |
| Bob24 | BCM43: i double click on videos it looks like it goes in then goes back to root directory. | 02:28 |

| CorpseFeeder | ok, I want to try and connect my iMac to my Ubuntu PC via crossover ethernet cable in order to transfer files. How do I do that? | 02:31 |
| loner269 | my card is bcm4306 b/g ver2 | 02:31 |

| Bob24 | BCM43: what did the command just do | 02:32 |
| loner269 | linksys | 02:32 |
| BobCFC | CorpseFeeder: you can install samba and then right click on a folder to share over windows network.. i think mac can read smb | 02:32 |
| BCM43 | Bob24: opened file browser as root. | 02:32 |
| Aintaer | man, Ra wifi cards suck. | 02:32 |
| CorpseFeeder | BobCFC: the stuff I want to get off the iMac is not on a windows share | 02:33 |
| loner269 | bcm can i just do aptget my card driver so i can go online? lol would that work | 02:33 |
| BCM43 | Aintaer: Broadcoms are worse | 02:33 |
| harpreet | BCM43, it connects fine without security enabled, i went to windows and enabled wpa on it and it cannot connect but connects to unsecured neighborhood connections | 02:33 |

| sahak | this is banshee-0.99.3 | 02:39 |
| Aintaer | andar: I agree, I just stick to ALSA | 02:39 |
| Aintaer | The solution I have is to add a pulseaudio -k command when it starts | 02:40 |
| echelon` | whatever. never mind | 02:40 |
| Aintaer | that kills the pulseaudio server and leaves everything to alsa again. | 02:40 |

| andar | nvsound being an OSS module | 02:42 |
| Bob24 | Aintaer: They are actually folders would that be different? | 02:42 |
| Aintaer | Bob24: are you sure it's not a permissions problem? | 02:42 |
| Aintaer | There needs to be a way to disable pulseaudio from starting | 02:43 |
| BCM43 | Bob24: but they are link to folders | 02:43 |
| Aintaer | I couldn't find it | 02:43 |
| BCM43 | Aintaer: go to session manger | 02:43 |
| BCM43 | Hey, it is a lul | 02:44 |
| Aintaer | BCM43: Aye, I see the pulse audio session management | 02:44 |
| Aintaer | but that's not where it's starting the PA server | 02:44 |
| Bob24 | Aintaer: what would "l" mean in front of the permissions | 02:45 |
| BCM43 | Aintaer: is this the ubuntu session manger? | 02:45 |
| Starnestommy | Bob24: l = symbolic Link | 02:45 |
| BobCFC | Aintaer: there is a file in /etc/init.d/pulseaudio it starts as a service on runlevels | 02:45 |
| Aintaer | BCM43: wait, sorry, wrong thing | 02:45 |
| echelon` | nvidia geforce go | 02:45 |
| echelon` | wait | 02:45 |
| BobCFC | Aintaer: since it changed to upstart im fuzzy about preventing daemons but its in there | 02:46 |
| Aintaer | ugh. | 02:46 |
| Aintaer | why is pulseaudio the default sound daemon anyway | 02:46 |
| Aintaer | It doesn't seem mature enough for general usage | 02:46 |
| andar | yea | 02:47 |
| Bob24 | Aintaer: then all the permissions should be ok it has this on all of them lrwxrwxwrx which is all ok. | 02:47 |
| andar | can i simply apt-get remove pulseaudio ? | 02:47 |
| BobCFC | Aintaer: one benefit for me is that my USB headphones show up as a second soundcard.. now i can tell any application to use the headphones... also you can change sound levels for each app individually | 02:47 |
| Aintaer | Bob24: I meant the permissions on the files they are pointing to | 02:47 |
| buntunub | andar: sudo apt-get remove -purge pulseaudio | 02:47 |

| PCcertified | amenado: lets see, I installed the modem yesterday, and even though the package was supposedly compiled for ubuntu, I still had to correct some files, symlinks and config files to get it to work. now y modem works, tested ith minicom | 03:07 |

| duh1337 | AnthroTechie: open the terminal type "ssh XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" where the Xs are your IP address, I assume this works in ububntu, it works in OS X terminal. you need to have the iPhone on the same network as the comptuer you are connecting with | 03:10 |

| amenado | PCcertified-> have you ever setup a dial-in/dial-out modem with linux? <-- the basics first, before whatever the VOCP is | 03:13 |
| Bob24 | how could i change that | 03:13 |
| tj83 | onthefence928... ouch.. sounds out of my league. sorry | 03:13 |

| jrib | scifiguy951: use chmod/chown appropriately to set the permissions you want (see ubottu's link). Feel free to ask questions if you aren't sure about something after reading the link | 03:14 |
| BobCFC | scifiguy951: i think you mounted it to a folder like /media/mydisk or /mnt/mydisk that only root can access? | 03:14 |

| jrib | !restricted > puff (read the private message from ubottu) | 03:14 |
| FroodooVoodoo | especially the ones helping you... | 03:14 |
| anirudh0 | scifiguy951, did you modify any permissions in /dev ? | 03:14 |
| Rabbitbunny | onthefence928: press alt+f2, type firefox on the box, click 'run in terminal', click 'run' | 03:14 |
| PCcertified | amenado: I installed it from synaptic, but it appears it did not set it up to start at boot and I can't find the inittab to add it manually. | 03:14 |
| scifiguy951 | no | 03:14 |
| FroodooVoodoo | when i try to sudo chmod -r 777 /media/job | 03:14 |
| scifiguy951 | how do i do that? | 03:14 |
| Bob24 | RAbbitbunny: how could i change that | 03:14 |
| FroodooVoodoo | fit, it was like, there. | 03:14 |

| PCcertified | amenado: I will repeat this one more time....YES YES YES | 03:14 |
| jrib | scifiguy951: read the link ubottu gave you so you can understand how permissions work | 03:14 |
| FroodooVoodoo | gordonjcp: not unless using the graphical update-thingy, no | 03:14 |
| FroodooVoodoo | probably. | 03:15 |
| puff | jrib: Yeah, that's the page I followed in setting up wmv codecs. | 03:15 |
| AnthroTechie | duh1337: does this mean that both the iphone and your computer need to have a static ip address? | 03:15 |
| Rabbitbunny | Bob24: You'd have to either man your_ftpd, or hopefully google will hep you find the help documentation. do you know the name of the ftpd? | 03:15 |
| amenado | PCcertified-> okay, and where is it failing in terms of mgetty? | 03:15 |
| BobCFC | scifiguy951: which is the mount point? which directory? | 03:15 |

| amenado | PCcertified-> have you tried to google for "alternative to inittab in ubuntu" ? | 03:16 |
| duh1337 | AnthroTechie: a static IP doesn't change, I can be witness that it doesn't require a static IP, but it might be helpful, you can find a guide to set it up. You need to modify some settings in your router, your computers, and your iPhone. It is a lot of work to get SSH to work. | 03:16 |
| anirudh0 | PCcertified, as a script..i believe you know how that could be done | 03:16 |

| duh1337 | drash: yes, I installed ubuntu on a new 80GB HD, didn't read the last option under advanced, and wrote grub to my windows drive (500GB). I don't have any two operating systems on a single drive, and don't know what to do | 03:23 |
| AnthroTechie | duh1337: okay, I tried that already, can I show you results? I forget where to cut and paste command line outputs, I don't want to flood that channel | 03:23 |
| puff | Odd about xv. | 03:23 |

| ray__ | :( | 03:23 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: oh you mean install.. i thought u meant run? | 03:23 |
| Malik_ | no install | 03:23 |
| puff | How would I get firefox to use -vo x11? | 03:23 |
| Malik_ | how do i install it to get the cool cube | 03:23 |
| anirudh0 | puff, change setting in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf to apply globally to all files | 03:23 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:23 |
| Malik_ | and thats a package rite | 03:24 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: yes | 03:24 |
| suzana | '< | 03:24 |
| anirudh0 | puff, what do you mean..why should firefox use video..or do you mean flash? | 03:24 |
| jrib | puff: you could install mozilla-mplayer and set x11 in its preferences | 03:24 |
| amenado | PCcertified-> okay, can even try to dial out? how many serial ports does your host have? | 03:24 |
| duh1337 | Anthro: I'm not sure, can you just tell me the jist of what its saying? I'm an apple guy, not a ubuntu guy, so I can't help if the problem is with ubuntu | 03:24 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: you need to have 3D drivers working first | 03:24 |
| Malik_ | wta if i already downlaodeed it is it the same command | 03:24 |
| suzana | hi | 03:24 |
| ray__ | any one see my q | 03:24 |
| puff | anirudh0: When you view a video file in firefox. | 03:24 |
| PCcertified | amenado: which doesn't make it easy to install. My modem driver was specifically for my model and was compiled for ubuntu and I still had to edit the conf files and modify symlink and udev links to get it to work proerly | 03:24 |
| ray__ | i posxted way back up there | 03:24 |
| scifiguy951 | can someone help me with this dang HDD?? | 03:24 |
| puff | I must have installed moz-mplayer on my old install. | 03:24 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, fsck | 03:25 |
| puff | thanks anirudh0, jrib! | 03:25 |
| ray__ | ani what command one i want | 03:25 |
| ray__ | never ran it | 03:25 |
| amenado | PCcertified-> ranting will not solve your issues, what you want done? | 03:25 |
| Malik_ | sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager....with this command it will install it all or do i need to do anytin else??? | 03:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 03:25 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 03:25 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, i mean run sudo fsck -fv /dev/<device> | 03:25 |
| PCcertified | amendo thats a good question, it's PCI modem V92 voice+fax. it runs on /dev/modem | 03:25 |
| anirudh0 | sorry..gksudo | 03:25 |
| ray__ | an if got only one hard drive how i finde name of it | 03:26 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: it installs a program to config the advanced options.. compiz is installed in hardy but you need 3D drivers such as nvidia enabled to run it | 03:26 |
| PCcertified | amendo, I'll look more into the syntax of init.d and get back to you | 03:26 |
| amenado | PCcertified-> and this is not one of those software modems right? | 03:26 |
| Malik_ | doesn;t the drivers enable durign the install | 03:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | anirudh0: when running a command-line utility, sudo is acceptable | 03:26 |
| Malik_ | rite now i can do the wobly window effetc | 03:26 |
| ray__ | anitudh how i fine name of it if run only 1 hard drive | 03:26 |
| PCcertified | amendo you got it 8-) | 03:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | anirudh0: for gui applications, gksudo is recommended because of how it handles users/permissions | 03:26 |
| AnthroTechie | can someone tell me where you paste command line out puts? | 03:27 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, run df -h...the disk should show up if its mounted | 03:27 |
| anirudh0 | AnthroTechie, pastebin.com..though even ubuntu as a sperate site | 03:27 |
| Rabbitbunny | AnthroTechie: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:27 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: good if that works with no slowdown.. you should now have a new menu in System->Prefs called Advanced Desktop Effects.... that is CCSM | 03:27 |

| harpreet | wpa does not work, unsecured gets accessed | 03:27 |
| Malik_ | o alrite good | 03:28 |
| Malik_ | one more thing how do i install .tar files | 03:28 |
| anirudh0 | Malik_, you do not "install" tar files | 03:28 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: right click and choose extract here | 03:28 |
| Malik_ | alrite then | 03:28 |
| anirudh0 | Malik_, tar files are simply archives | 03:28 |
| harpreet | wpa does not work, unsecured gets accessed, can connect to any unsecured network but own wpa does not connect ,any solution? | 03:28 |
| Malik_ | after i exctract then | 03:28 |
| ray__ | anirud is it my sda1 i want | 03:28 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: extract the .tat file, then read the readme or install files in it for further instructions | 03:28 |
| ray__ | ? | 03:28 |
| Starnestommy | *.tar | 03:28 |
| Malik_ | wat will the instucations be liek | 03:28 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, post output to pastebin..i'll be back in a min | 03:28 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: it depends on what the .tar file is for | 03:29 |
| Malik_ | to put them in prgram files or wat? | 03:29 |
| BobCFC | a text file called README? | 03:29 |
| Malik_ | lets says its flash player | 03:29 |
| puff | jrib, anirudh0, I'm taking notes, do you mind if I put this chat on my web site? | 03:29 |

| Starnestommy | Malik_: it would probably tell you to run an installer script of some sort. For most source-code programs, it's ./configure, make, then sudo make install. | 03:29 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: also, isn't there already a package for flash called flashplugin-nonfree? | 03:30 |
| harpreet | wpa does not work, unsecured gets accessed, can connect to any unsecured network but own wpa does not connect ,any solution? | 03:30 |

| harpreet | Malik_ go to cd <folder> where u extracted | 03:30 |
| harpreet | Malik_ type ./configure <name of installation> | 03:31 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: it depends if you have source code or binaries... if code u need to compile, maybe you can just run it from the folder? | 03:31 |
| Starnestommy | harpreet: I don't think it's source code | 03:31 |

| AnthroTechie | duh1337: here is the command line output from when I tried to connect, however the static ip address was automatically done on the phone, not sure if that is of any significance. http://paste.ubuntu.com/17382/ | 03:32 |

| dan_l | (specifically) I want to edit the grub menu | 03:32 |

| scifiguy951 | i tried to open my login window manager and i get this | 03:34 |
| scifiguy951 | You might be using a different display manager, such as KDM (KDE Display Manager), CDE login (dtlogin), or xdm. If you wish to use this feature, then your system will need to be configured to use GDM instead. | 03:34 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: if it's 8.04, it's hardy. 7.10 is gutsy and 7.04 is feisty | 03:34 |

The guy says he muted a channel to get it to work, Yet I only have one mute control, for all channels. Hints? | 03:38 |

| anirudh0 | puff, at your own risk..other videos might hang in the future | 03:42 |
| puff | Also, I have some dynamic CPU freq scaling, so while my chip is a pentium M 2.13Ghz, it might have been scaled back when mplayer started. | 03:42 |

| Malik_ | so far i understand how to get ccsm puut how to i get GLmatrix | 03:42 |
| loner269 | i need to get this wireless | 03:42 |
| Malik_ | o so GLmatrix is already there???? | 03:42 |
| jrib | puff: yeah, I would. Note that xv means your video card handles more of the video processing (I don't know the specifics), so you might want to see why that doesn't work | 03:42 |
| BobCFC | Malik_: yes | 03:43 |
| Malik_ | its a screen saver i need it for background | 03:43 |

| anirudh0 | CarlFK, apt-get --purge remove tracker | 03:52 |
| Malik_ | so i type: install avant-window-navigator and then i can get kooldock | 03:52 |
| ray__ | using x11 | 03:52 |
| BobCFC | CarlFK: if you goto System->Prefs->Sessions and untick the two tracker options it will not run a startup... you might want to look in Services too | 03:52 |
| CarlFK | dmb: hdparm - get/set SATA/ATA device parameters | 03:52 |
| alpha | Any of you know a nice little commandline tool to turn html into text? | 03:52 |
| trask | Malik_: kooldock is for kubuntu, but if you run it and dont want awn, do: sudo apt-get install kooldock | 03:52 |
| harpreet | Malik_ wget command in terminal please | 03:52 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, i had the same issue in gutsy in totem..upgrade fixed it for me.. | 03:52 |

| === kaoticsnow|away is now known as kaoticsnow | ||
| dmb | never mind it is | 03:52 |
| dmb | thanks CarlFK | 03:53 |
| BobCFC | harpreet: is there an x86_64 build? | 03:53 |
| linxeh | alpha: html2text ? | 03:53 |
| anirudh0 | dmb, check dmesg after you issue the hdparm command | 03:53 |
| dmb | it spinned down | 03:53 |
| harpreet | BobCFC, i do not think so | 03:53 |
| ray__ | anirudh how i tomet upgrade it how do i? | 03:53 |
| shishirmk | what libraries to i require to install lex.yy.c | 03:53 |
| dmb | also, are any of you good with interpreting smardctl output? | 03:53 |
| ray__ | totme upgrade player how do i? | 03:53 |
| shishirmk | i mean to run | 03:53 |
| BobCFC | harpreet: nvm, 2006 seems old is it still developed? | 03:53 |
| alpha | linxeh: that would do it... | 03:54 |
| dmb | i think i have a hard drive that just flipped out all of the sudden | 03:54 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, as i said..an upgrade fixed it..a apt-get upgrade is the normal way to upgrade | 03:54 |
| dmb | with all these bad sectors | 03:54 |
| alpha | linxeh: thanks | 03:54 |
| linxeh | alpha: or you could do lynx -dump etc | 03:54 |
| anirudh0 | dmb, hdparm is not a command to be lightly used | 03:54 |
| Starnestommy | shishirmk: maybe flex | 03:54 |
| anirudh0 | dmb, run fsck then | 03:54 |
| harpreet | BobCFC, try it, it will work on 32 bit very wel | 03:54 |
| ray__ | anirudh never go it with upgraded in ubuntu8 | 03:54 |
| cn28h | shishirmk, sounds like flex/bison or lex/yacc | 03:54 |
| shishirmk | i have installed flex | 03:54 |
| dmb | anirudh0, i did, and it found a thounsand and one errors | 03:54 |
| anirudh0 | dmb, filesystem? | 03:54 |
| shishirmk | cn28h: after compliling using lex | 03:54 |
| dmb | ran badblocks command and it found loads of badblocks | 03:54 |
| dmb | ext3 | 03:54 |
| BobCFC | harpreet: thanks i will paste ur command to a text file | 03:55 |
| dmb | this was all fine this morning | 03:55 |
| anirudh0 | dmb, use reiserfs in the future..much better with such cases | 03:55 |
| ray__ | anirudh any other idea | 03:55 |
| trask | anirudh0: did you refer to the cairo-dock when you said e 17? | 03:55 |
| shishirmk | cn28h: this comnabd is executed to get a a.out file that is cc lex.yy.c -ll | 03:55 |
| ray__ | using x11 | 03:55 |
| dmb | not a fan of reiser :D | 03:55 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, always use mplayer | 03:55 |
| dmb | but thats my opinion | 03:55 |
| dmb | 'murderfs' :P | 03:55 |
| anirudh0 | trask, never used it..have used e17 | 03:55 |
| === Siftaway is now known as SiftLinux | ||
| ray__ | i like the deafult one | 03:55 |
| edju | I've compiled many a kernel in my time, but now w/ ubuntu, it seems needlessly complex. Can I just get a kernel from kernel.org and run the good-old make menuconfig, make, make modules_install, etc, skipping all the initrd and whatever stuff? | 03:55 |
| * dmb ducks | 03:55 | |
| anirudh0 | dmb, why? | 03:55 |
| ray__ | uses sound better | 03:55 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, what do you mean by "uses sound better" | 03:56 |
| dmb | anirudh0, well, it gets messed up with you have a resierfs disk image within a resierfs filesystem | 03:56 |
| cn28h | edju, you don't need initrd if you build all the necessary parts into the kernel | 03:56 |
| dmb | which is very unprofessional if you ask me | 03:56 |
| cn28h | edju, but it should not be hard to set up an initrd either | 03:56 |
| cn28h | brb | 03:56 |
| ray__ | anirudh better handel my sound card mplayer freezes me pc | 03:56 |
| trask | anirudh0: ok whats the package with the e 17 then called? it sounds like a great addon to fluxbox or similar. | 03:56 |
| anirudh0 | dmb, if you _want_ to break something...then even linus cannot save you :) | 03:56 |
| jerknextdoor | anyone have any luck install pdfedit on hardy? | 03:56 |
| edju | cn28h, what do you mean -- no modules? | 03:57 |
| anirudh0 | trask, e17 can be got from a repo on e17.dunnewind.net..never installed the package in isolation | 03:57 |
| dmb | anirudh0, well, that breaking can be as easy as using qemu to install a linux distro | 03:57 |
| ray__ | anirudh any idea | 03:57 |
| anirudh0 | trask, check perl-panel for fluxbox | 03:57 |
| jerknextdoor | i just got the boost libraries and now it says i need boostiostreams. i've got internet for 5 minutes possibly | 03:57 |

| anirudh0 | very true | 04:01 |
| Link_of_Hyrule | when i booted into ubuntu it went to this weird busybox thing | 04:01 |
| cn28h | edju, not "no modules" but you have to build in things like support for the fs you have on / etc.. things that are needed to bring the system up | 04:01 |
| Link_of_Hyrule | i cant get it to go into the gui | 04:01 |
| anirudh0 | gatuno_123, rather too many people are awake :) | 04:01 |
| ray__ | anirudh like this site says for x11 http://www.realistanew.com/2007/09/23/compiz-in-ubuntu-update/ | 04:01 |
| anirudh0 | Link_of_Hyrule, it must have given an error mesg before doing that | 04:01 |

| Aintaer | there's almost 1200 people in here? | 04:02 |
| zm635 | anirudh0: what about mythtv? | 04:02 |

| blankhead | anirudh0 wow thats horrible anyway i can make it though? | 04:03 |
| ray__ | anirudh how i do what there talking about in x11 | 04:04 |
| anirudh0 | blankhead, you could install the binary from the mozilla site..not recommended though..could screw up your settings | 04:04 |
| edju | cn28h, Ah, yes - I know that. So, if a vanilla kernel is compiled the old-fashioned way, w/o all that extra stuff, there'll be nothing missing as far as ubuntu is concerned? | 04:04 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, i dont knwo | 04:04 |
| anirudh0 | *know | 04:04 |
| cn28h | edju, extra stuff? | 04:04 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, never faced this myself | 04:04 |
| tanner_ | if i select "merge all" it should only copy files that didnt exist before? | 04:04 |
| blankhead | anirudh0 damn this sucks my firefox keeps crashing when i play those damn flash videos | 04:05 |

| Link_of_Hyrule | i never thought i would call my self a noob | 04:09 |
| ray__ | ok | 04:09 |
| cn28h | edju, shouldn't need to worry about dpkg unless you want the package manager to track your kernel.. and the rest is just normal kernel stuff .. I'm pretty sure a vanilla kernel build should work similarly to on other distros. At very le3ast it couldn't hurt to try :) | 04:09 |
| ray__ | did it | 04:09 |
| tyler_ | No | 04:09 |
| ray__ | will this fix the default player as well | 04:10 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, no | 04:10 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, atleast i dont think so | 04:10 |
| Link_of_Hyrule | well i put on a couple themes and stuff and got my sound working but ive rebooted since then idk why it would randomly stop working | 04:10 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, totem is the worst movie player i;ve worked with..after windows media player | 04:10 |
| m1r | Aintaer: sry, this one : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2356.html | 04:10 |
| Aintaer | I was wondering why | 04:10 |
| Starnestommy | Link_of_Hyrule: check the output of the command "dmesg" for anythihg that doesn't look right | 04:11 |
| ray__ | anirudh then what recamend | 04:11 |
| BobCFC | anirudh0: realplayer! | 04:11 |
| m1r | !checkinstall | 04:11 |
| tyler_ | what are you talking about windows media player is awsome | 04:11 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 04:11 |
| edju | cn28h, True enough. It'll either boot or it won't. | 04:11 |
| rbraley | Hi I am wondering if anyone knows how to get sound in wine through pulseaudio | 04:11 |
| anirudh0 | Link_of_Hyrule, boot in recovery mode..we;ll get some more info to diagnose your problem | 04:11 |
| Link_of_Hyrule | oh ok | 04:11 |
| Aintaer | m1r, that's very useful, but not exactly my problem | 04:11 |
| ray__ | for me to play dvd and the everthing i need like quicktime and mp3 dont want to lose the codec some recomend here\ | 04:11 |
| Aintaer | my problem is, I have multiple kernels | 04:11 |
| m_newton | <BobCFC> how?? | 04:11 |
| anirudh0 | BobCFC, its closed source(though based on helix), but still better than totem | 04:11 |
| Link_of_Hyrule | thanks | 04:11 |
| Link_of_Hyrule | ill do it in a bit | 04:11 |
| m1r | Aintaer: build for last one then ? | 04:11 |
| Aintaer | do I have to rebuild these kernel modules for every one of those kernels | 04:11 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, mplayer plays EVERYTHING | 04:12 |
| ray__ | anirudh how i set it as default playerf | 04:12 |
| m1r | Aintaer: i am not sure about kernel modules , but i think yes | 04:12 |
| Qster | is virtualbox broke or something? cant seem to get it to work says /dev/vboxdrv not loaded or missing | 04:12 |
| ray__ | and can i get ride of other one dont play my dvd menu | 04:12 |
| ray__ | well | 04:12 |
| BobCFC | anirudh0: yes the playback engine is good but they bundle it with adware and popups on windows.. | 04:12 |
| Aintaer | So can I build modules for a different kernel | 04:12 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, right click in nautilus..select properties..then open with..then use mplayer | 04:12 |
| tyler_ | mplayer is funny you open a video, and it starts playing two seconds later it says "codec nto found" and the video plays | 04:12 |
| Aintaer | than the one I'm running now | 04:12 |
| ray__ | and how i get ever codec for it | 04:12 |
| === will__ is now known as larry- | ||
| BobCFC | vlc gets my vote | 04:13 |
| ray__ | anirudh how i have it play as default player so it picks it up | 04:13 |
| anirudh0 | tyler, install codecs first then..w32 codecs have nearly everything you'll need | 04:13 |
| ray__ | and set it as default insed of other one | 04:13 |
| tyler_ | Anyone no a player that supports SHOUTcast streaming? | 04:13 |
| anirudh0 | ray__, read my previous post please | 04:13 |
| anirudh0 | tyler, amarok | 04:13 |

| tyler_ | like IDJC but i cant connect usign IDJC | 04:16 |
| tyler_ | the "server connect" button wont light up even after i put all my info in | 04:16 |
| anirudh0 | tyler, are you firewalled? | 04:16 |
| Aintaer | anyway, time to reboot and try this out | 04:17 |
| Flannel | tyler_: What does winamp do special? | 04:17 |
| tyler_ | how can i know? | 04:17 |
| tyler_ | it doesn;t | 04:17 |
| tyler_ | it jsut the only thing i have ATM | 04:17 |
| anirudh0 | hmm..does winamp run under wine? | 04:17 |
| tyler_ | Yes | 04:17 |
| tyler_ | works wonderful under WINE | 04:17 |
| Flannel | tyler_: So, just play stuff? Have you tried... well, heck, there are a bunch of things that'll act as a shoutcast source client. mpd, .. um, there are others, they're just escaping me. ices | 04:17 |
| tyler_ | I need to be able to STREAM using the mic and playing music possiably a crossfader but thats it | 04:18 |
| anirudh0 | Flannel, i thinks he wants a server, not a client | 04:18 |
| tyler_ | YES server | 04:18 |

| NW2190 | Hi, I just added a new hard drive to my computer but it seems that it screwed up my GRUB settings. I get an error now when I try booting up my comp. Is there a way to fix that? | 04:20 |
| tyler_ | is that in synaptic | 04:20 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard1, kdeintit starts dcop | 04:20 |
| anirudh0 | *kdeinit | 04:20 |
| Flannel | tyler_: Please explain what you actually are looking for. The server itself? or the program to get the music to the server? | 04:21 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard1, but that warning shows that something is wrong with the kde install | 04:21 |
| tyler_ | the program to get the music to the server | 04:21 |

| Flannel | tyler_: That's a source client, and ices is the plain-jane one (comes with icecast), mpd will do it, gstreamer should as well. In synaptic, youshould be able to search for shoutcast or icecast and get a decent list | 04:22 |
| tyler_ | ook ill see what i can find | 04:22 |
| tyler_ | Whilke im here. You guys know where i can get a guide to make my Ubuntu look like vista? | 04:22 |
| bullgard1 | anirudh0: Why should there be something wrong with the kde install? My Kexi is not working since Update Manager installed the new kernel yesterday. | 04:22 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard1, this generally happens when only a few kde packages are installed | 04:23 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard1, dcop is the kde interprocess communication methid | 04:23 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard1, its like dbus..but older | 04:23 |
| chaqui | how can i set permissions | 04:23 |

| anirudh0 | !root | 04:24 |
| 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 | 04:24 |
| gonzoism | is safepeer failing for everyone ? if it is working for you, would you grab the file and pass it to me ? http://www.bluetack.co/config/splist.zip | 04:24 |

| gonzoism | chaqui: if you wanted to reset it, you could boot from the ubuntu disk, then chroot to your install, then set a new passwd for root. | 04:25 |

| 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 | 04:25 |
| Flannel | chaqui: You don't have a root password, the root account is locked, and you more than likely don't want to set a root password either. Use sudo instead. | 04:25 |
| chaqui | ah yeah thats the thing that ubuntu does. | 04:25 |
| gonzoism | yeah, they are right. sorry about that guys | 04:25 |
| gonzoism | chaqui: ^ | 04:26 |
| chaqui | well, i locked myself out of a game folder | 04:26 |
| anirudh0 | chaky, chmod 777 folder-name | 04:26 |
| ark3qqq | I'm no longer able to aptitude update on my Edgy system. | 04:26 |
| anirudh0 | chaky, chmod 777 folder-name/* | 04:26 |
| Flannel | Don't do that. 777 is usually a bad idea. | 04:26 |
| bullgard1 | anirudh0: This is true with me: I have installed only a few KDE packages. This arrangement worked perfectly for a year or so. What have I to do to get rid of this error and get Kexi running again? (There is a file /home/detlef/.DCOPserver_MD9760__0 misssing. How can I generate this file?) | 04:26 |
| zm635 | i think you could do 'sudo chroot /' to log in as root perhaps? | 04:26 |
| Flannel | ark3qqq: Edgy is no longer supported (and that means the mirrors are taken down), you should upgrade to Feisty | 04:26 |
| BobCFC | chaqui: if you want to setup a root password use sudo passwd root | 04:27 |
| Flannel | zm635: No. you don't want to log in as root, and even if you did, there are better ways. | 04:27 |
| zm635 | yep, you can, though you shouldnt | 04:27 |
| ark3qqq | Flannel: Ah... I thought Edgy was a long-term blah blah. Hmm. | 04:27 |
| Flannel | BobCFC: please don't recommend that here. Thanks. | 04:27 |
| anirudh0 | zm635, you could do some more things..the point is that you should'nt need to | 04:27 |
| gonzoism | sudo is better | 04:27 |
| zm635 | i know, im just saying, it's still possible :P | 04:27 |
| Flannel | ark3qqq: no, that was 6.06, not 6.10 | 04:27 |
| BobCFC | Flannel: he obviously has used root on another distro | 04:27 |
| m1r | bullgard1: u can try rename /home/user/.kde and relogin | 04:27 |
| ark3qqq | Flannel: Oops. What's the next long term version? I may as well get it right this time... | 04:27 |

| BobCFC | tanner_: you should use tar to put ur backups into an archive, then it's just one file to backup | 04:35 |

| BobCFC | zm635: you can set a user to unprivileged but i think blankpassword is a nono | 04:43 |
| billenium | kthnx | 04:43 |
| zm635 | BobCFC: sorta, i was thinking about that. What exactly can one do without a password? | 04:43 |
| Flannel | zm635: You can set autologin, even with a password | 04:43 |
| zm635 | BobCFC: I was under the impression that you had to use sudo to do anything interesting anyway | 04:44 |
| dolphin_noel | someone knows why is allways asking me confirmation password of nm-applet ?! when i login my acount?! if beford that nathing happens ... after the last instalation | 04:44 |
| chaqui | thanks guys it works :-) | 04:44 |
| gonzoism | man i got a terrabyte and a half of files. and about 30 gigs free... i really need to get another hard drive... | 04:44 |
| Flannel | zm635: If everything was secure, yes. But its best to keep people out just incase there's some bug. | 04:44 |
| dolphin_noel | i allready have the wireless disabled ... | 04:44 |
| billenium | gonzoism, i may be departing soon :P | 04:45 |
| gonzoism | here you go billenium. i think i used this one as a template to make mine | 04:46 |
| gonzoism | billenium: ^^ | 04:46 |
| Sindacious | Could anyone tell me where the font's folder is :x? | 04:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fonts | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 04:46 |
| BobCFC | Sindacious: .fonts in your home folder or /usr/share/fonts/truetpye for the whole syste, | 04:47 |
| BobCFC | Sindacious: you might need to create a .fonts folder first goto View->Show hidden files | 04:47 |
| gonzoism | billenium: you can see some of the stuff it does, and you can use those parts in your own. :) http://joereid.homeip.net/conkyrc | 04:48 |

| NinoScript | Hi, i wanted to know if any of you used an IDE for programming, and which ones are good (i'm currently programming in C) | 04:50 |
| gonzoism | NinoScript: emacs is wonderful | 04:50 |
| gonzoism | NinoScript: some people acutally started a church for it. for real. | 04:51 |
| BobCFC | NinoScript: eclipse has a C plugin called eclipse-cbt, also netbeans, codeblocks and kdevelop | 04:51 |
| NinoScript | yes, i know about that | 04:51 |
| NinoScript | but i'm searching for something more gui-ish | 04:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot | gonzoism | 04:51 |
| ubottu | gonzoism: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:51 |
| NinoScript | i'm teaching programming | 04:51 |
| zm635 | If i'm performing some critical tasks, like installing a bunch of upgrades, or moving lots of files around, will ubuntu know not to enter sleep mode? | 04:51 |
| tungsten | Great... My first time on the IRC and I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while | 04:52 |
| bullgard1 | m1r: What do you mean by "rename /home/user/.kde"? | 04:52 |
| troxor | NinoScript: anjuta? | 04:52 |
| UnluckyMike | NinoScript, if your teaching programming, I think a simple text editor and autotools would be the best way to do it | 04:52 |
| troxor | NinoScript: but yeah, what UnluckyMike said | 04:52 |
| NinoScript | autotools? | 04:53 |
| UnluckyMike | automake autoconf libtool | 04:53 |
| Infinito_ | when I was taught C many years ago my teacher used program called "TurboC" | 04:53 |
| tama00 | hey guys | 04:53 |
| BobCFC | NinoScript: eclipse has a C plugin called eclipse-cbt, also netbeans, codeblocks and kdevelop | 04:53 |
| tama00 | i got an issue :( | 04:53 |
| UnluckyMike | TurboC, bringing me back to 1989 | 04:53 |
| NinoScript | ok, i'll read about using eclipse, anjuta and code::blocks | 04:54 |
| Infinito_ | the only thing I remember about it is really the name :) never used turboC again :P | 04:54 |
| tyler_ | Hey guys im trying to place an icon in the /usr/share/icons/ghome/32x32/places/ | 04:54 |
| tyler_ | but it keeps telling me perrmission denied | 04:54 |
| BobCFC | tyler: use sudo | 04:54 |
| NinoScript | what about using gedit? are there good plugins and stuff to make it more like an IDE? like pressing an F key for compiling and such? | 04:54 |
| tyler_ | whats the command | 04:55 |
| BobCFC | NinoScript: it has sytax hightlighting for c++ | 04:55 |
| tyler_ | sudo export? | 04:55 |
| NinoScript | just put sudo before the comand you were calling | 04:55 |
| gooody | anybody knows how install hardy 32bit over a 64bit hardy installation? | 04:55 |
| UnluckyMike | NinoScript, gedit, in my opinion isn't very good. Kate is alright but vim and emacs are the kings | 04:55 |
| BobCFC | sudo cp /home/me/myfile /usr/share/icons/ghome..... | 04:56 |
| Rozza | How would i go about listening to live streams, like .asx files/.pls files | 04:56 |
| billenium | 404 not found gonzoism | 04:56 |
| Rozza | anyone? | 04:57 |
| gonzoism | billenium: sorry there is a dot before the filename. here: http://joereid.homeip.net/.conkyrc | 04:57 |
| drash | Rozza: totem is one option, it works via gstreamer plugins, there's a bunch of them you can install via Synaptic ... | 04:57 |
| gonzoism | i usually leave those out | 04:57 |
| soldats | Rozza: i think you need the gstreamer codec search for it in synaptics | 04:57 |
| billenium | is that YOURS gonzoism? | 04:58 |
| Khwerz | hmm? | 04:58 |
| NinoScript | ohh, here's a question.. if i have Gnome running, is it ok to install KDE applications? that really confuses me | 04:58 |
| BobCFC | NinoScript: yes but they are slower to launch because it loads the KDE libs first | 04:58 |
| jbroome | NinoScript: sure | 04:58 |
| drash | NinoScript: KDE apps do work | 04:58 |
| sandy | can anyone tell me how to stop a App run(when the app name not PID) from shell program | 04:58 |
| drash | sandy: killall <app name> | 04:59 |
| owh | Greetings, can someone tell me what the appropriate channel is for asking technical questions about the wiki.ubuntu.com site? | 04:59 |
| matthias_N | anybody knows a good tool for memory leak problems ... | 04:59 |
| gonzoism | billenium: my what ? the one i use ? no i think that is a template of one i made mine from. i looked at it. | 04:59 |
| sandy | drash thanks | 04:59 |
| gonzoism | billenium: that is the one from backtrack 3, probably | 05:00 |
| palomer | how do I restart alsa? | 05:00 |
| Rozza | How do i start totem | 05:00 |
| palomer | my banshee refuses to play sound | 05:00 |
| billenium | oh | 05:00 |
| sandy | drash that will come under normal termination | 05:00 |
| drash | matthias_N: valgrind for instance | 05:00 |
| === n is now known as n|brb | ||
| Infinito_ | trying asking here owh, I don't know if there's an specific channel for it... | 05:01 |
| matthias_N | drash: easy to use and find problems ??? | 05:01 |
| drash | sandy: not sure what you mean with normal termination ? | 05:01 |
| matthias_N | drash: or needed to digg into logg files ??? | 05:01 |
| gonzoism | billenium: mine is missing and i'm not sure why. gonna look around a good bit for it. cause it was a pretty good looking one. | 05:02 |
| drash | matthias_N: quite so yes, all depends on the complexity of what your debugging i'd say | 05:02 |

| supertanker13 | How do I access network folders from the console? | 05:02 |
| owh | I'm needing to implement a google search for a team mailing list on the team wiki page, but I'm unsure how best to achieve that in such a way that I get an input box and a search button, rather than a link to a google page. | 05:02 |
| BobCFC | Rozza: Apllications->Sound & Video or just click on the video file | 05:02 |
| tyler_ | whats the sudo terminal command for deleting a file | 05:02 |
| owh | I'm happy for the search to be actually done by google. | 05:02 |
| BobCFC | tyler_: rm | 05:02 |
| Infinito_ | Rozza, you may type totem on the shell or look for "Movie Player" or "Totem" on Applications -> Sound & Video | 05:02 |
| tyler_ | so like rm /home/tyler/desktop/watever? | 05:03 |
| soldats | yes | 05:03 |
| Rozza | The playback of this movie requires a HTTP protocol source plugin which is not installed | 05:03 |
| BobCFC | tyler_: yes unless it is a directory | 05:03 |
| tyler_ | thanks | 05:03 |
| Rozza | for totem.. | 05:03 |
| owh | matthias_N: I just read an article from ibm/developerworks which also indicates free and exmap. | 05:03 |
| hey` | I cheated my self.... | 05:04 |
| hey` | like I knew... | 05:04 |
| tyler_ | this is what i got when i tried to delete | 05:04 |
| hey` | I would! | 05:04 |
| tyler_ | tyler@tyler-desktop:~$ rm /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/start-here.png | 05:04 |

| drash | matthias_N: it does it's best to keep digging around manually to a bare minimum yes .. what did you use before ? | 05:04 |
| FloodBot3 | tyler_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:04 |
| gonzoism | tyler_ you might be interested in http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html it did me a lot of good ten years ago.... | 05:04 |
| yell0w | tyler_: sudo rm /path/to/file | 05:05 |
| BobCFC | tyler_: only works with sudo if in a system folder | 05:05 |
| petom0 | can anone possibly answer my question? | 05:05 |
| petom0 | anyone* | 05:05 |
| tyler_ | im trying to change the start here icon | 05:05 |
| yell0w | petom0: what's your question ? | 05:05 |
| owh | tyler_: That is because you do not own the file. Changing an icon in the middle of the filesystem is a REALLY BAD IDEA! | 05:05 |
| Jordo | anyone here able to give a little help with a "unable to execute /bin/sh"? | 05:06 |
| matthias_N | drash: i have never used any program alike but now some program is drying out the memory i have pretty quick and i have a pretty good idea about where it is but not sure ... | 05:06 |
| petom0 | i downloaded the live cd version of ubuntu, and installed on a cd | 05:06 |
| gonzoism | petom0: i must have missed it. what was it ? | 05:06 |
| tyler_ | So how can i change it? | 05:06 |
| owh | tyler_: You should not. What are you actually trying to achieve? | 05:06 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] This morning after installing packages using Update Manager I cannot open System > Preferences > Sessions. How to troubleshoot? | 05:06 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: file /bin/sh | 05:06 |
| matthias_N | drash: like to get my idea confirmed in some way ... | 05:06 |
| petom0 | but when i try and install it on another harddrive that i insert, it fails to install it, or boot up normally | 05:06 |
| drash | matthias_N: check valgrind.org, there's a small FAQ and info on quicly setting up your environment | 05:06 |
| Jordo | says it doesn't exist, and the Ubuntu install won't go any further | 05:07 |
| matthias_N | owh: thanks for your input, i base my suspicions on free ... | 05:07 |
| gonzoism | petom0: what is your question ? if you want to check the cd, you can run the command: md5sum /dev/cdrom and check it with the md5sum on the website | 05:07 |
| matthias_N | drash: thank you i will and start using it today i hope ... | 05:07 |
| avis | trying to setup moblock have done WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https" in the moblock.conf file however anytime i refresh a webpage i get a can't find server error. any ideas ? | 05:07 |
| owh | Jordo: What brought you to this point? | 05:07 |
| drash | matthias_N: well yes, hopefully valgrind (which uses Memcheck behind the screens) can confirm | 05:08 |
| Jordo | at first, I tried to boot from the CD, and it just failed, tried 2 more times, until I finally got the actual error | 05:08 |
| petom0 | okay, i will try that. My question is how I can fix it, or if something went wrong with the original image write | 05:08 |
| BobCFC | bullgard4: try running gnome-session-properties from the terminal and look for error messages | 05:08 |
| gonzoism | petom0: i would do this. | 05:08 |
| Jordo | tried installing from Windows and from booting up with the CD | 05:08 |
| matthias_N | drash: thanks i will have an look one more question , do you fight with wireless ??? | 05:09 |
| Infinito_ | Jordo, it might be a defective cd | 05:09 |
| NinoScript | if i'm moving to linux from MacOSX (i'm actually dual booting, but i want both OSs to feel similar), which one will feel more familiar? Gnome or KDE? | 05:09 |
| owh | Jordo: Either your CD is corrupt, the drive faulty or your hardware incompatible. | 05:09 |
| gonzoism | petom0: i would check the md5sum on the file and make sure it matches the website. then i would burn the cd again. or burn cd again first. did you burn it as an image, and not as a file on the cd ? | 05:09 |
| Jordo | I ran the CDs check to make sure there was nothing wrong, which worked fine and said the CD was ok | 05:09 |
| billenium | gonzoism: If you ever find the .conkyrc you made, dont be hesistent to email it to me | 05:09 |
| tyler_ | So how can i change the start icon, i have already placed the start icon i want in the directy it needs to be in | 05:09 |
| gonzoism | NinoScript: gnome | 05:09 |
| drash | matthias_N: believe it or not but i am a firm believer in hardwiring my internet connection, i've disabled wifi in ubuntu | 05:09 |
| owh | NinoScript: Neither. Ubuntu comes with Gnome, Kubuntu with KDE. | 05:09 |
| petom0 | yes, i burned it as an image, i followed the guide on the website for doing it | 05:10 |
| tyler_ | /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/ | 05:10 |
| bullgard4 | BobCFC: "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host -based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." | 05:10 |
| gonzoism | billenium: i'll find it. i hope i remember to email you | 05:10 |
| owh | tyler_: Which start icon? | 05:10 |
| billenium | add me on your contacts list or something :P hehe | 05:10 |
| NinoScript | gonzoism: Why do you think so? | 05:10 |
| gonzoism | billenium: did you like the one i sent you ? | 05:10 |
| matthias_N | drash: okey, well thank you ... | 05:10 |
| billenium | I dont like how it has a window :P | 05:10 |
| gonzoism | NinoScript: think i will find it ? | 05:10 |
| petom0 | alright, i will try it, brb | 05:11 |
| tyler_ | its the vista start icon | 05:11 |
| gonzoism | NinoScript: oh, heh | 05:11 |
| tyler_ | it said to put in the that directery | 05:11 |
| drash | matthias_N: goodluck with the leak tracking | 05:11 |
| qj | Question: Is there a way to make pidgin go away upon the activation of gnome-screensaver? | 05:11 |
| tyler_ | i did but it hasn't changed | 05:11 |
| NinoScript | ? | 05:11 |
| Infinito_ | tyler, sudo didn't do the trick ? | 05:11 |
| owh | tyler_: Again, what are you trying to do? | 05:11 |
| === Charitwo is now known as CHARITWO | ||
| tyler_ | Convert my computer to vista-look | 05:11 |
| owh | Infinito_: tyler_ is trying to remove an installed system file. | 05:11 |
| loner269 | how do i back this thing up now i got it kinda rite? | 05:11 |
| gonzoism | NinoScript: because it is simple. and intuitive. for the special effects, enlightenment is the window manager. but its not like kde or gnome, as full featured as them. | 05:11 |
| matthias_N | drash: thanks are you by any chance one of the deluge users ??? | 05:11 |
| yell0w | loner269: back what up ? | 05:12 |
| loner269 | my tower | 05:12 |
| owh | tyler_: You need to apply a theme to achieve what you want to do, editing icons is *not* the way to go. | 05:12 |
| loner269 | wireless is working i want to keep it that way | 05:12 |
| billenium | gonzoism do you know how to take out the border? | 05:12 |
| NinoScript | gonzoism: Ok, thanks ^^ | 05:12 |
| drash | matthias_N: no i've been wanting to but my little baby daughter had other plans sleep- and spare-time wise for now :) | 05:12 |
| supertanker13 | How can I access network folders from the command line? | 05:12 |
| gonzoism | billenium: i'll look now. you like the .conkyrc i sent ? | 05:12 |
| Jordo | so there is no way to get Ubuntu installed, if I get the unable to execute /bin/sh, any way I can figure out why it's doing it? | 05:12 |
| yell0w | loner269: using the default drivers or what ? | 05:12 |
| supertanker13 | Are they treated just like normal folders? What's the syntax? | 05:13 |
| loner269 | i dont remember now lol | 05:13 |
| tyler_ | how cna i do that. i have the tar.gz file | 05:13 |
| loner269 | just no its working lol | 05:13 |
| yell0w | loner269: what did you do before/after it worked ? | 05:13 |
| billenium | gonzoism: the only thing i didnt like was the border. Besides that it was pretty cool. | 05:13 |
| owh | Jordo: The issue is that the CD is not running properly for some reason. The symptom you are getting is likely a red-herring. | 05:13 |
| loner269 | nothing | 05:13 |
| matthias_N | drash: okey, i think that is the main head ache in muý case , good luck with your daughter ... | 05:13 |
| loner269 | just got it to work now | 05:13 |
| === CHARITWO is now known as Charitwo | ||
| yell0w | loner269: well then it'd probably work again if you didn't have to do anything for it to work now | 05:14 |
| owh | tyler_, loner269: If you're talking to someone, add their nick to your message, otherwise you will be ignored. | 05:14 |
| loner269 | lol did alot b4 it would work | 05:14 |
| NinoScript | is there a way to have only one menu bar? (like in macosx? it's actually one of the features that i love from it) | 05:14 |
| loner269 | thats why i want to keep it working lol | 05:14 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: how much memory does that machine have ? | 05:14 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: i've had issues like that on 128 mb machines... | 05:15 |
| tyler_ | owh_, i have the tar.gz file of the icons how can i configure them | 05:15 |
| yell0w | loner269: well that's why i asked what did you do to make it work | 05:15 |
| Jordo | I run 1.75GB | 05:15 |
| drash | NinoScript: http://gnomefiles.org/app.php/Mac_Menubar_for_GNOME_and_Xfce .. tris to achieve just that | 05:15 |
| loner269 | the wiki page for it to work i guess thats what you call it | 05:15 |
| owh | tyler_: The icons you're speaking of, are they a theme or not? | 05:15 |
| yell0w | loner269: this is the reason why keeping a journal of what you do is a good idea | 05:15 |
| yell0w | loner269: link ? | 05:16 |
| loner269 | im still new | 05:16 |
| tyler_ | Yes there theme | 05:16 |
| loner269 | im learnin though | 05:16 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | Hi all. I'm installing Ubuntu on a spare PC with a 80GB drive and I would like recommendations on partition sizes. | 05:16 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: 1 gb for swap, 20 gb for / , the rest for home ? | 05:17 |
| supertanker13 | Gavin[newbuntu]: as a newbie myself, I recommend 20 GB for /, 58 GB for /home, and 2 GB for a swap partition | 05:17 |
| gonzoism | jordo, have you tried reburning the cd | 05:17 |
| loner269 | yell0w: im me a sec | 05:17 |
| gonzoism | ? | 05:17 |
| supertanker13 | That's my own crappy recommendations | 05:17 |
| petom0 | okay, i typed the command you gave me in and it came up with this error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" | 05:17 |
| jtrucks | I have Ubuntu 6.10, and I need to upgrade the machine with the minimal number of reboots and minimal downtime. | 05:17 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | Ok. Any use in going advanced with a separate /boot partition or anything? | 05:17 |
| loner269 | brb all | 05:17 |
| Jordo | yeah I've burned it twice | 05:17 |
| NinoScript | drash: wow, thanks for the link, now i can live happily with both OSs :D | 05:18 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | I had read that unused disk space and be partitioned and mounted later to extend existing partitions... any suggestions there? | 05:18 |
| petom0 | does that mean that something went wrong with the image burn? | 05:18 |
| jtrucks | since I was stupid and waited too long to do it the easy way, is there a place I can find the Edgy/6.10 distro online so I can upgrade to something still supported and get up to the latest version? | 05:18 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: check the md5sum of your download yet ? | 05:18 |
| owh | Jordo: When you boot the CD, can you select the menu option to verify the cd? | 05:18 |
| Jordo | no I have not | 05:18 |
| Jordo | yeah, I have verified the CD, and it says there is nothing wrong | 05:18 |
| drash | NinoScript: yes it's great once you're used to it :p | 05:18 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: what owh asked ^^ ? | 05:18 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: yes that is true | 05:18 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: it all depends on how/what you plan to do with it | 05:19 |
| owh | Jordo: Ok, start with the MD5 first. | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | Bug #235759 | 05:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 235759 in nautilus "when opening trash as root, nautilus crashes" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/235759 | 05:19 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: that is the md5sum the self check if it had one. | 05:19 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | yell0w: I'm planning to use it long term... but for now just learning. | 05:19 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: at least get a separate swap and /home partition for easy backup/upgrade | 05:19 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: so the cd boots and stops when it can't run /bin/sh ? | 05:19 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | I anticipate many borkings along the way :) | 05:19 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: the rest is your choice, whether to make another partition for later use or for windows or whatever | 05:20 |
| drash | jtruck: why not go from 6.10 --> 7.10 --> 8.04 all via upgrade ? i think that's possible | 05:20 |
| jtrucks | Gavin[newbuntu]: if you plan on reloading the machine later after you figure stuff out, just make it swap and the whole disk s the rest. | 05:20 |
| NinoScript | bye, thanks to everyone that helped | 05:20 |
| jtrucks | drash: because the update manager can't find the 6.10 files :( | 05:20 |
| Jordo | yes, It loads up everything, gets about 10%, stops for I'd say 10 minutes, then drops to a list of stuff, ending with unable to execute /bin/sh no such file, termination status 255 | 05:20 |
| jtrucks | and I am having trouble figuringout where they would be now. | 05:20 |
| gonzoism | is memtest86 on the ubuntu cd ? | 05:21 |
| petom0 | okay, i typed the command you gave me in and it came up with this error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" | 05:21 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | yell0w: Ok, I guess i'll just do 1gb swap 10-15gb / and the rest /home. i highly doubt i'll ever use any of it up lol | 05:21 |
| jtrucks | i.e. I need to find the apt-get sources to use :) | 05:21 |
| owh | gonzoism: Yes, the bottom option. | 05:21 |
| jtrucks | and Ubuntu 6.10 doesn't show up in the help tabs on help.ubuntu.com | 05:21 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: ok, base / is about 3-4 gb, i've never exceeded 10gb on / , and that's including lots of stuff that i install over one year | 05:23 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: that is an odd problem. i've had problems with cds not reading the whole cd correctly when booting, but burning and checking them just fine. the booting problem had something to do with spinning up and spinning down. you might try adding the "toram" option to the end of the boot command on the cd. or you might try a memtest i doubt its your memory though. | 05:23 |
| jtrucks | ahhh. but 6.10 shows up when I manually guess the rl | 05:23 |
| petom0 | i'm getting the following error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" when I try and boot from the CD | 05:23 |
| petom0 | should I re-burn the boot CD? | 05:23 |
| billenium | gonzoism: I have two conkys open... how do i close the old one? (there is no window thing) | 05:23 |
| avis | i checked the ubuntu moblock wiki and it claims that if you add WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https" to /etc/default/moblock that it will allow all internet browsing on any browser, however i get an error message saying server cannot be found after doing so and applying the changes. any help? | 05:23 |
| yell0w | Gavin[newbuntu]: but then ymmv | 05:24 |
| owh | billenium: What on earth is a "conkys" ? | 05:24 |
| gonzoism | billenium: you can run the command, ps ax|grep conky and then kill the pid of the first or second one. | 05:24 |
| billenium | OH okay i got it :) | 05:24 |
| gonzoism | billenium: i usually just killall -9 conky and then start conky again | 05:24 |
| Alvin_FN | huy............ | 05:24 |
| billenium | e-mail me the file if you ever find it. I'm tired and gonig to bed. gnight@ | 05:25 |
| petom0 | i'm getting the following error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" when I try and boot from the CD | 05:25 |
| billenium | gnight all | 05:25 |
| gonzoism | night | 05:25 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | Hello | 05:25 |
| gonzoism | owh: conky puts stuff onto the screen. like top and other info. | 05:26 |
| jtrucks | man. I shoulda stayed on 6.06 back when I upgraded to 6.10 | 05:26 |
| jtrucks | :P | 05:26 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | Could someone please help me install google gadgets for linux? I'm a noob and dont really know how. | 05:26 |
| Bridge1 | Google Gadgets for Linux... I didn't even know that such a thing existed. | 05:26 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | wana bet? | 05:26 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/ | 05:26 |
| gonzoism | Psyco_Chipmunkk: i bet you a million dollars !!!! | 05:26 |
| ariqs | he said he didn't know it existed | 05:26 |
| Kira | darn | 05:26 |
| ariqs | he didn't say it didn't, you dolt | 05:26 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | ok | 05:26 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | taken | 05:27 |
| drash | Bridge1: yep, fresh news http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/wiki/HowToBuild | 05:27 |
| gonzoism | heh | 05:27 |
| Kira | Seveas doesn't have FreeNX server for Hardy yet. :( | 05:27 |
| owh | gonzoism: Ah, tah. I thought that billenium was making up words :) | 05:27 |
| Bridge1 | WOW. I've got to give that a shot. | 05:27 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | soo | 05:27 |
| Jordo | thanks for the help, think I'm going to do a bit more research before trying to install Ubuntu again | 05:27 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | Could someone hlep me please =) | 05:27 |
| petom0 | could someone help me with this error "I/o error 'Error reading boot CD'" | 05:27 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: sorry it wasn't easy for you. wish it was. usually is. like 6 easy steps and never errors... | 05:28 |
| ish_nitti | BrianG, i read about that today.. | 05:28 |
| Bridge1 | Hmm... it seems to be a binary package (*.tar.gz)... and I've never had success with "make"-ing those. | 05:28 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | :-( | 05:28 |
| Bridge1 | petom0: What are you trying to boot? | 05:28 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | hmm | 05:28 |
| gonzoism | petom0: yeah. does the cd spin up when you try that command ? | 05:28 |
| petom0 | yes, it does | 05:28 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | yell0w: out of curiosity, if you happen to know this, how does it work if i were to leave unused space, then add partitions as needed and mount them to extend / or /home ? | 05:28 |
| petom0 | then it comes up with the error | 05:28 |
| petom0 | i'm trying to boot ubuntu | 05:28 |
| petom0 | but it keeps failing | 05:28 |
| Bridge1 | Hmm... that is odd. Do other bootable CDs work? | 05:29 |
| petom0 | i've only tried one so far | 05:29 |
| scunizi | Gavin[newbuntu], they would have to be adjacent to the partition that you're making larger | 05:29 |
| petom0 | i can try another one | 05:29 |
| Jordo | gonzoism: it's probably the computer, Idle, this computers CPU usage is near 100% and I can't fix it, I've tried everything, thought Ubuntu might help | 05:29 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | soo, back to google gadgets | 05:29 |
| Bridge1 | petom0: that should tell you whether it's the Ubuntu CD itself, or your hardware. | 05:29 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | scunizi: hmm, i see. i can still mount them as /whateveriwant though right? | 05:30 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: oh. run the memtest on the cd the bottom option. | 05:30 |
| jtrucks | anyone know how I can upgrade a 6.10 machine via the net? | 05:30 |
| Jordo | I'll give it a whirl, and check back | 05:30 |
| Jordo | thanks | 05:30 |
| wers | i want my memory to be scanned. is there such a thing like crucial ram for linux? | 05:30 |
| Alan_M | !upgrade | jtrucks | 05:30 |
| ubottu | jtrucks: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:30 |
| jtrucks | I can't really use CDs since the system is across the country. | 05:30 |
| led | ok I think I would like to try to make my router dd-wrt.24 any thoughts. should I or shouldnt I? | 05:30 |
| Alan_M | across the country? | 05:30 |
| gonzoism | Jordo: also if you tag "toram" on the endo of the boot command at the bottom, for booting ubuntu, you might get a better result. | 05:30 |
| Alan_M | wow...um..then..i dont really know man. | 05:31 |
| avis | led, it was very bug free for me compared to previous dd-wrt releases. | 05:31 |
| gonzoism | petom0: try slax or dsl linux for testing. dsl is very small so it would be quick and easy. | 05:31 |
| petom0 | alright | 05:31 |
| Bridge1 | gonzoism: agreed. | 05:31 |
| Alan_M | Jtrucks that might help you, more than likely not, ive never attempted a netinstall from across the globe. | 05:31 |
| gonzoism | wers: there is memtest86 its on the install cd. bottom option | 05:32 |
| jtrucks | Alan_M: I got stuck because do-release-upgrade can't find 6.10 packages to work with. | 05:32 |
| bullgard4 | BobCFC: "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? | 05:32 |
| drash | jtrucks: you need to go 6.10 > 7.04 > 7.10 .. System -> Administration -> Update manager .. what does it teel you about 'New distribution release 7.04' availability ? | 05:32 |
| BobCFC | wers: if you look at the GRUB boot menu there is an option for memtest | 05:33 |
| wers | gonzoism, can I do that in virtualbox? hehe | 05:33 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | wers: wouldnt that just test the memory of the VM? | 05:33 |
| gonzoism | wers no. it would fsck your memory up | 05:33 |
| jtrucks | drash: I don't have X running. I have CLI only. | 05:33 |
| led | now let me ask this since i havent done this before lets say it doesnt work I can put the router back right? | 05:33 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: Are you on dapper currently? | 05:33 |
| BobCFC | bullgard4: sorry you will have to google some of that.. do the bit after reason: | 05:33 |
| wers | okay. i'll just do the memtest | 05:33 |
| wers | i have a ram card here. how do I know if its compatible with my laptop? | 05:34 |
| drash | jtrucks: didn't realize that .. i'll recheck (read re-google :p ) | 05:34 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: edgy, I guess... | 05:34 |
| jtrucks | I am trying to dig up the update manager version installed now. | 05:34 |
| marge | How do I get the task manager back onto panel? | 05:34 |
| gonzoism | wers like a usb stick or like one of those computer chips ? or what ? | 05:34 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: you'll be using update-manager-core to upgrade. You can find a mirror for edgy at old-releases.ubuntu.com | 05:34 |
| jtrucks | okaym, it's 0.56~edgy5 so according ot the docs it's new enough. | 05:35 |
| marge | (My mother-in-law's computer and she has wrecked a few things :) | 05:35 |
| wers | gonzoism, i mean, a ram stick | 05:35 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: yo umay have just saved me :) | 05:35 |
| connor | who said my name? | 05:35 |
| marge | How to get TaskManager back? | 05:35 |
| Tzuqris | #blenderchat | 05:35 |
| Tzuqris | ah | 05:35 |
| Tzuqris | lol | 05:35 |
| marge | (Not sure if that's what it is called ... "TaskManager"? | 05:35 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | wers: most likely it will work if it's the right fit (but don't break it making it fit). although, i know laptops can be picky. just have to test it out or look up model #s | 05:35 |
| gonzoism | wers: like you got ram to stick into your laptop ? i'd compare by eye.. but i'm risky like that. | 05:36 |
| BobCFC | marge: its called system monitor... in System->Administration | 05:36 |
| gonzoism | wers: you could look it up. | 05:36 |
| scunizi | marge, right mouse click the task bar (top) and choose "add" to panel.. | 05:36 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: I can just point /etc/apt/sources.list at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/6.10/ then? | 05:36 |
| wers | i think, crucial ram is the best tool for that. i'll just have to check if I still have an empty ram slot | 05:36 |
| drash | jtrucks: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-2.html offers a routine using apt-get, vim and sed etc. .. | 05:36 |
| marge | scunizi: Add _____? to panel? | 05:36 |
| wers | most laptops come with two slots, right? | 05:36 |
| Starnestommy | marge: window list | 05:36 |
| Bridge1 | Hmm... can anyone explain to me why I get an error when trying to start a virtual machine on VirtualBox? | 05:37 |
| jtrucks | drash: yeah, I saw that, too.... the issue was that I couldn't figure out where to find the 6.10 files I needed to upgrade with :P | 05:37 |
| Starnestommy | Bridge1: it depends on the error | 05:37 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: No, uh, you'd be changing the url to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ instead of what they are now | 05:37 |
| scunizi | marge if you want the system monitor on the top panel | 05:37 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | wers: yes, most. but most also use both slots. | 05:37 |
| Bridge1 | It tells me that I have two different drivers running, and it only needs one. It also tells me to uninstall both versions, and install only one version... but I can only find one installed. | 05:37 |
| Peddy | can someone please tell me how to run a script every time I resume from sleep? Cheers | 05:37 |
| marge | Starnestommy: Thank you. | 05:37 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | wers: as in, your 512mb is probably 2x256 (or whatever) | 05:37 |
| BobCFC | Starnestommy: scunizi well done guys i thought she meant like windows task manager for processes... | 05:37 |
| drash | jtrucks: use Flannel's suggestion for that | 05:37 |
| wers | yeah. i think so too. deym. hehe | 05:38 |
| Bridge1 | The error reads as such: "The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from a different version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all running instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software.." | 05:38 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: thanks! | 05:38 |
| scunizi | BobCFC, thanks.. well it's sorta like tat | 05:38 |
| m_newton_ | how do i list running processes | 05:38 |
| weekend_paladin | m_newton, ps or ps aux | 05:38 |
| gonzoism | wers: do you know where the ram goes ? | 05:38 |
| scunizi | m_newton, also "top" in terminal | 05:39 |
| gonzoism | wers: usually on the bottom of the laptop there is an easy access panel for the ram. usually held on with a screw or two. | 05:39 |
| ApOgEE- | hi, does anybody know where to get usleep source code for ubuntu? | 05:39 |
| gonzoism | wers: just make sure the laptop is off... | 05:39 |
| BobCFC | Bridge1: I think it is because of the new .18 kernel in the updates.. they haven't released the virtualbox-modules for .18 yet, reboot into .17 from the menu | 05:40 |
| ApOgEE- | I need usleep but it's not in Gutsy | 05:40 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: all source code is the same. not distro specific. unless you are wanting the source code to the ubuntu package for usleep. i would search freshmeat. | 05:40 |
| micahcowan | ApOgEE-, what, you mean a command line program called usleep? | 05:40 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: http://freshmeat.net | 05:41 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, i see... because i've tried to compile some but it gets error | 05:41 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: or sourceforge.net | 05:41 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: errors compiling or running ./configure ? | 05:41 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, i wonder if i need specific code for ubuntu | 05:41 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: that would be a patch to make it compile under ubuntu if it won't do it. probably one out there. | 05:42 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, error running gcc usleep.c -o usleep | 05:42 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | ApOgEE-: this may be a dumb question for ya but do you have the build packages? (i tried to compile on one of my ubuntu adventures years ago and didnt have em) | 05:42 |
| ApOgEE- | i just have the usleep.c files | 05:42 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | and by build i mean the ubuntu packages for compiling and stuff | 05:43 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: is it a library and not a program ? | 05:43 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: where is the website for it ? | 05:43 |
| scunizi | ApOgEE-, sudo apt-get install build-essential is what Gavin[newbuntu] is talking about. | 05:43 |
| ripps | Damnit! I just spent an hour working on an image in Gimp, but my entire desktop froze and I had to reboot; and I forgot to make saves. Is there anyway to recover my work, or am I screwed. | 05:43 |
| ApOgEE- | i need the source code or maybe pre-compiled if exists | 05:43 |
| m_newton | how do i share using samba? | 05:44 |
| ApOgEE- | i couldn't find it, that's why i ask if you know | 05:44 |
| jtrucks | hrm. | 05:44 |
| micahcowan | I've never heard of a usleep command... and, of course, the function call would be in glibc (and, probably, the kernel sources). | 05:44 |
| BobCFC | m_newton: if samba is installed rightclick on a folder and choose share? | 05:44 |
| scunizi | ripps, don't reboot next time.. ctrl+alt+f2 for terminal login then top and find what's hogging the sys. resources.. kill it. | 05:44 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaa | server irc://irc.iso-masters.net | 05:44 |
| gonzoism | ripps: gimp might have had buffers on disk. search google, or even the gimp website. there is probably a way to get most of it back... | 05:44 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaa | hups | 05:44 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | ok i have just installed ubuntu 8.04 - easiest linux install ive done to date (i try once a year it seems). anyone got a url to help me set up extra packages such as ati driver and any media abilities i might need? | 05:44 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: what do you want it for ? | 05:44 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, i wanna use usleep in my bash script | 05:45 |
| ripps | scunizi: I tried that, everything froze. The keyboards lights were blinking and everything. | 05:45 |
| scunizi | Gavin[newbuntu], System/Admin/restricted drivers manager. | 05:45 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: why not just use "sleep" ? | 05:45 |
| jtrucks | okay, so here's a fun problem... | 05:45 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, but it's not here in gutsy | 05:45 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: usleep looks like a function. | 05:45 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | scunizi: thanks! | 05:45 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: sleep is in gutsy | 05:46 |
| jtrucks | I use old-releases.ubuntu.com and do-release-upgrade starts work work | 05:46 |
| scunizi | ripps, ooohh that's bad.. sorry to hear that | 05:46 |
| jtrucks | er | 05:46 |
| jtrucks | starts to work. | 05:46 |
| ApOgEE- | usleep is "sleep in microseconds" | 05:46 |
| petom0 | is there a way to boot the dsl-linux off of a usb drive? | 05:46 |
| jtrucks | then it is about to alter sources.list to download feisty files... | 05:46 |
| ApOgEE- | while sleep is in seconds | 05:46 |
| jtrucks | but feisty doesn't exist on old-releases | 05:46 |
| scunizi | petom0, sure.. check the dsl site or google for instructions | 05:46 |
| jtrucks | how do I tell do-release-upgrade this? | 05:46 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: yes. do you really need microseconds ? and i think usleep is a function. it gets called. | 05:46 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: it isn't a command, i don't think | 05:47 |
| jtrucks | i.e. tell it to change the servername, not just the distro name? | 05:47 |
| petom0 | i'd rather do that, than dig through all my supposedly blank CDs | 05:47 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: it is a command: BUGS | 05:47 |
| gonzoism | Probably not accurate on many machines down to the microsecond. Count | 05:47 |
| gonzoism | on precision only to -4 or maybe -5. | 05:47 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, i found that usleep is suppose to be in /bin/usleep in other distro | 05:47 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: you can put almost any distro on a usb drive ala live cd | 05:47 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: in fact i did ubuntu that way since my cd drive didnt seem to work | 05:47 |
| Furom | Is there a way to properly install my ATI radeon 9520 video drivers on Ubuntu? I can't find any definitive information via google. | 05:47 |
| tritium | !ati | Furom | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Furom: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:48 |
| Furom | tritium, thank you xD | 05:48 |

| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: where did you find the source ? | 05:52 |
| eadz | inaru: all settings are in the hidden directoris in a home directory | 05:52 |
| Alan_M | Gavin[newbuntu], you said the link you mentioned earlier for ubuntu usb install worked for you? | 05:52 |
| inaru | i wanted to set 1 settings and apply it to all other users, instead of setting the users 1 by 1 | 05:52 |
| raddy | drash : i don't expect in days, but hours | 05:52 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | Alan_M: yes | 05:53 |
| inaru | eadz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795601 | 05:53 |
| pepsi | there used to be some program like in System->Administration that would show your hardware.. kinda like windows's device manager | 05:53 |
| pepsi | i can't find it anymore though | 05:53 |
| micahcowan | inaru, what specific settings are you interested in? | 05:53 |
| inaru | eadz: where should i copy the template to? | 05:53 |
| Alan_M | Gavin[newbuntu], ok, gonna go try it, it seems the easiest and most straight forward, tried a few other sites, those mainly just trashed my thumb drive. | 05:53 |
| eadz | inaru: for new users, /etc/skel | 05:53 |
| inaru | eadz: do i copy the folder to the folder of the other users? | 05:53 |
| eadz | inaru: whenever you add a new user, all the files from /etc/skel are copied to that users home directory | 05:53 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: okay. i compiled usleep. http://www.ataliba.eti.br/sections/shell_utils/usleep/usleep.tar.gz just went into it and typed "make" made it.... | 05:54 |
| legend2440 | pepsi: its gnome-device-manager | 05:54 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | Alan_M: It worked great except for me not copying the whole iolinux dir to the root. make sure to do that! i only copied one file and spent 2 hours troubleshooting | 05:54 |
| inaru | eadz: so i set up this 1 user say user1 and copy the /etc/skel and paste it to the other /etc/skel users? | 05:54 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | Alan_M: also, it says syslinux will create a file on the thumbdrive, but i could never see it. it seemed to be there anyway. i have show hidden files enabled... | 05:54 |
| eadz | inaru: no... | 05:54 |
| eadz | inaru: do all the other users exist already? | 05:54 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, i need microseconds to blink the led on my PCB... seems like "sleep 1" took longer | 05:54 |
| hulihutu | when i minimize and maximize the firefox for several time,my xwindows will restart at now. any body know hot to slove this problem? | 05:54 |
| eadz | inaru: if not then it's easier | 05:55 |
| Alan_M | Gavin[newbuntu], ill do that (I know a little bit about troubleshooting so if i get stuck, i wil probably either try fixing it or try installing from my dvd i have :) | 05:55 |
| inaru | eadz: yes, i've created 5 users | 05:55 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: ^ it compiled for me. | 05:55 |
| pepsi | legend2440, thanks! it's not installed by default anymore, i see | 05:55 |
| eadz | inaru: but you can delete them and re-create them ? | 05:55 |
| inaru | eadz: but this is a trial only, i could just delete them | 05:55 |
| gonzoism | ApOgEE-: does that fix your problem ? | 05:55 |
| legend2440 | pepsi: if its installed its in Applications>system tools. you may have to enable it in menu editor or install it | 05:55 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | eadz: i think when you add a user you just use passwd [username] [password] afterwards. i have not used the adduser command before, though. just passwd to change passwords. | 05:55 |
| m_newton | good nite | 05:55 |
| inaru | eadz: yes, i could just delete them | 05:55 |
| pepsi | legend2440, i had to install it :) | 05:55 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, just downloaded... compiling | 05:55 |
| m_newton | !bye | 05:55 |
| ubottu | Au revoir! | 05:55 |
| m_newton | !thanks | 05:56 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 05:56 |
| eadz | inaru: ok. log in as user1, and make all your settings. then copy everything in /home/user1 to /etc/skel/ including the hidden files. ( i.e. sudo cp -Rp /home/user1/* /etc/skel/ ) | 05:56 |
| eadz | inaru: then add user2 and the settings should be there. | 05:56 |
| m_newton | !bot | 05:56 |
| ubottu | I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 05:56 |
| m_newton | !ubottu | 05:56 |
| inaru | eadz: i get it, so the /etc/skel is for all users. does it include the default user (admin user)? | 05:57 |
| Alan_M | !msgthebot | m_newton | 05:57 |
| ubottu | m_newton: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 05:57 |
| markofvero | anyone know of a GNOME system monitor-type panel applet that can graph CPU core utilization individually, rather than in a single combined graph? | 05:57 |
| ApOgEE- | gonzoism, thanks a lot... problem solved | 05:57 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | inaru: i think he means skel is for NEW users, not existing | 05:57 |
| inaru | eadz: i've installed yahoo messenger through wine on the sudo user, but it doesn't show on the user1 | 05:57 |
| gonzoism | welcome | 05:58 |
| dubby | hey anyone how do you set a local in ubuntu-server ? | 05:58 |
| jtrucks | a local what? | 05:58 |
| drash | hulihutu: try adding this pref to your user.js (in your firefox profile) --> user_pref("config.trim_on_minimize", true); .. it's something that works sometimes trying to keep firefox under wraps | 05:58 |
| inaru | Gavin[newbuntu]: how about the existing one? how to apply the settings? like if there any new settings in the future and would like to apply it to the users | 05:58 |
| dubby | sorry locale* | 05:58 |
| Furom | Ummmm..... I have an ATI Radeon 9520 and this how to: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI clearly stats that it doesn't support anything earlier than 9500, which, doesn't help my situation, does anyone know what I can do to get my graphics card's 3D features working right? When I go to play a couple of the games that I played on windows, the 3D graphics are all messed up. | 05:58 |
| Furom | states* | 05:58 |
| dubby | perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: | 05:59 |
| jtrucks | dammit. | 05:59 |
| jtrucks | soooo close | 05:59 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | inaru: unfortunately I don't know, but it looked like earlier someone mentioned copying the user dir to the other user dir | 05:59 |
| babolat | Will the Hardy LiveCD be able to access (read and write) ntfs partitions? | 05:59 |
| m_newton | how to add fact to ubuntu????? | 05:59 |
| eadz | inaru: /etc/skel is copied to /home/newuser when a new user is created | 05:59 |
| yell0w | m_newton: wiki /forum ? | 05:59 |
| gonzoism | does anyone have /tmp/splist.zip that they would share with me ? | 05:59 |
| Alan_M | m_newton, you cant add one from this room, you can probably ask in the room #ubuntu-ops, but....more than likely the request will be rejected. | 06:00 |
| m_newton | oh well` sleepinz | 06:00 |
| tritium | gonzoism: everyone's /tmp is different | 06:00 |
| yell0w | gonzoism: that's a temporary folder, i doubt it | 06:00 |
| micahcowan | dubby, what's the result of "echo $LC_ALL" in your terminal? and, "locale -a". | 06:00 |
| gonzoism | its usually where it gets put. splist.zip from anywhere else is ok too | 06:00 |
| inaru | Gavin[newbuntu], eadz: thank you guys for sharing | 06:00 |
| inaru | i'll try all the suggestions | 06:00 |
| babolat | i need to access (read/write) a couple of ntfs partitions on a hard drive. I need to backup some files from the Windows drive before I overwrite it with a fresh Ubuntu install. How? Hardy LiveCD? | 06:00 |
| MadTBone | I'm trying to find a description of the fstab mount option "realtime" ... anyone know what it is? | 06:00 |
| dubby | locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory | 06:01 |
| dubby | C | 06:01 |
| dubby | POSIX | 06:01 |
| tritium | gonzoism: that file is from something specific you're doing on your machine | 06:01 |
| Alan_M | !ntfs-3g | babolat | 06:01 |
| ubottu | babolat: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 06:01 |
| petom0 | gavin, for some reason, this step is not working for me Run this command to install the syslinux bootlader to the thumbdrive: | 06:01 |
| petom0 | syslinux -ma f: (where f: is the letter of your USB thumbstick) | 06:01 |
| drash | Furom: i might need some sleep but if the minimum requirement is 9500 and you have 9520 .. wouldn't that qualify ? | 06:01 |
| dubby | $LC_ALL = (unset) | 06:01 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: do you get an error? | 06:01 |
| dubby | / = false | 06:02 |
| babolat | Alan_M: i know. i was asking about doing it in the LiveCD environment since it's a system with windows broken in it | 06:02 |
| Alan_M | meh, babolat im not sure if the cd has it already....so thats why i gave you that. | 06:02 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: if it just pauses for a second or so, then puts you back at the prompt, it actually did work. i was confused about this as well. | 06:02 |
| AMDfanboy | hi, i just downloaded an installation disk, and when i installed asked it to validate the disk. it found 1 file was messed up. | 06:02 |
| pepsi | if i want to install windows after installing ubuntu, how can i not lose grub? or fix it easily afterwards? | 06:02 |
| gooody | i installed a 32 bit application in a 64 bit ubuntu hardy using sudo dpkg -i --force-all command. now i want to uninstall it but i can't find the package in synaptic. how am i going to do this? | 06:02 |
| petom0 | but the file it says should be on there isn't, unless its invisible | 06:02 |
| AMDfanboy | downloaded it a couple times, burned a few different versions. all one file screwed up | 06:02 |
| gonzoism | most livecd should have an option to boot from an iso on disk. it would sure save a lot of blank cds.... | 06:02 |
| Ronald|Laptop | check md5sum on download, AMDfanboy | 06:02 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: yes it seems to be invisible, even with show hidden files i couldn't see it myself | 06:02 |
| petom0 | hm | 06:02 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: but it worked anyway | 06:02 |
| babolat | pepsi: a google-it of "install windows after ubuntu" would do you magic | 06:03 |
| === Ronald|Laptop is now known as Ronald | ||
| petom0 | well, i'm going to have to format it, i ran the command several times >.< | 06:03 |
| AMDfanboy | md5sum worked | 06:03 |
| gonzoism | babolat: lol | 06:03 |
| Digger1 | So it seems that the fan on my laptop spins more (or it runs hotter) in Ubuntu than it does in Vista. I'm running HH pretty much vanilla, am I missing something or what | 06:03 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: it doesn't matter if you run it multiple times... it only puts it in once... | 06:03 |
| loner269 | yellow it worked with out doing anything | 06:03 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: i mean its not like you will have 12 syslinuxes in there | 06:04 |
| tritium | gooody: if you're going to use expert options like --force-all, you should understand what you're doing before you do it | 06:04 |
| yell0w | loner269: good to hear | 06:04 |
| babolat | ideas how to mount ntfs partitions within the LiveCD environment? | 06:04 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: but as long as you formatted as FAT32 to being with, you should be OK | 06:04 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | being=begin | 06:04 |
| AMDfanboy | md5sum for the iso was good, downloaded again, still good. downloaded the alternate install and it was good too. but each time, i ran the validate the disk option before i installed and it found an error. | 06:05 |
| gonzoism | petom0: i have an elivecd that lets me boot isos off disk. the current version should have it too. | 06:05 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | LOL i set up synergy on my xp desktop and ubuntu... i forgot to set up a link to return from ubuntu. my mouse got stuck there :x | 06:05 |
| Ronald | AMDfanboy: using a new disk, or reusing a rewritable? | 06:05 |
| micahcowan | dubby, if you type "export LC_ALL=C", does the problem go away? | 06:05 |
| AMDfanboy | yeah, used a few disks, burnt it a few times. ya know what, i wonder if the cd player is screweed up. i'm gonna try checking it on my computer. be back in a bit, gotta reboot. | 06:06 |
| petom0 | hmm, i think the disk i originally burned might be bad | 06:06 |
| petom0 | that would explain the problems | 06:06 |
| dubby | micahcowan: looks like it worked :-) so far thanx for the easy set to default | 06:06 |
| babolat | will one be able to do sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o umask=0222 in the livecd? | 06:06 |
| micahcowan | dubby, that will only work for that one shell session, though. | 06:07 |
| gonzoism | so, anyone have splist.zip ? usually at /tmp/splist.zip | 06:07 |
| dubby | ok noted | 06:07 |
| gooody | tritium: is there a way to uninstall it? | 06:07 |
| timidoBR | hi there... somebody can help me with the login screen resolution? | 06:07 |
| timidoBR | plz | 06:07 |
| petom0 | argh, i need to stop deleting that file | 06:07 |
| tritium | gooody: like any other package | 06:07 |
| micahcowan | dubby, add the line «LANG=C» to the file /etc/locale/default (and delete any other content you find there). | 06:07 |
| micahcowan | or «LC_ALL=C» | 06:08 |
| gooody | tritium: i can't find it in synaptic. | 06:08 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: what file? | 06:08 |
| petom0 | the iso i originally downloaded | 06:08 |
| gonzoism | timidoBR: ctrl-alt-Num+ or Number Pad + sign. (or -) | 06:08 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: lol :) | 06:08 |
| dubby | alright when i get the chance I will try that thanx for the help micahcowan | 06:08 |
| petom0 | turns out i still need it | 06:08 |
| dubby | its taken me 2 days so far to upgrade a server :-p | 06:08 |
| timidoBR | tks gonzoism | 06:08 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | you can probably copy the files off the cd you burned actually... | 06:08 |
| timidoBR | =D | 06:08 |
| gonzoism | petom0: lol | 06:08 |
| petom0 | its bad, i already tried that | 06:09 |
| gonzoism | timidoBR: did that work ? | 06:09 |
| dubby | you helped me yesterday as well | 06:09 |
| petom0 | i guess thats what i get for using a CD thats been sitting around for 3 or so years | 06:09 |
| micahcowan | dubby, I did? What with, another locale problem? | 06:09 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: probably :P | 06:09 |
| timidoBR | yep... exactly what I need... | 06:09 |
| nosa-1 | i need help runing roller coaster tycoon 3 on my pc when i run it through wine i get a message your graphics doesnt meet the minimum requrements ive ran it on windows fine before any help would be great | 06:09 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: of course i used a new cd and it wouldnt boot anyway | 06:10 |
| petom0 | lol | 06:10 |
| gregbrady | Anyone out there with a lot of Base experience? | 06:10 |
| petom0 | bad download maybe | 06:10 |
| gonzoism | timidoBR: you might be able to set it permanently in options in the menu or in gdm.conf (command: locate gdm.conf) | 06:10 |
| petom0 | oh well, its downloading pretty fast | 06:10 |
| micahcowan | gregbrady, Base? | 06:10 |
| petom0 | already 140 mb through | 06:10 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | petom0: nah i got it working the usb drive... my cd drive was dumb | 06:10 |
| jtrucks | erg. | 06:10 |
| pepsi | Gavin[newbuntu], you should keep an extra keyboard/mouse handy anyhow, synergy likes to crash.. like if you accidentally hit print screen in windows with a very large desktop, it times out while trying to transfer the clipboard over the network | 06:10 |
| gregbrady | micahcowan, Open Office Base | 06:10 |
| micahcowan | Ah. | 06:10 |
| gonzoism | nosa-1: i like vmware for games. | 06:11 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | pepsi: thanks, i'll keep that in mind. i'm hoping to get used to using ssh though | 06:11 |
| nosa-1 | hmm ill check it gonzo | 06:11 |
| Bob24 | hi, could someone please tell me how to add thumbnails on mythbuntu so i can see the video icons as pictures? | 06:11 |
| dubby | micahcowan: nah another upgrading problem that ended in me editing sources.list from dapper to fiesty | 06:11 |
| timidoBR | my resolution is 1280x800... but login screen is too big, just show part of it | 06:11 |
| gonzoism | nosa-1: you install windows inside vmware. | 06:11 |
| nosa-1 | ok cool | 06:11 |
| nosa-1 | ill do that | 06:11 |
| timidoBR | after login it's ok.... | 06:11 |
| petom0 | and now, i must sleep. Its midnight here and I need some rest | 06:11 |
| petom0 | night all | 06:11 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | gonzoism: vmware doesn't support 3d acceleration... | 06:12 |
| timidoBR | i'll try gdm.conf too.. tks | 06:12 |
| gonzoism | timidoBR: forums would probably be the best bet for figuring that out fastest. but someone might now here. | 06:12 |
| nosa-1 | it doesnt? | 06:12 |
| Bob24 | hi, could someone please tell me how to add thumbnails on mythbuntu so i can see the video icons as pictures? | 06:12 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: nope, no 3D in vmware | 06:12 |
| Ronald | timidoBR: is the screen set at higher virtual rsolution at that time? allowing you to pan the viewport ? | 06:12 |
| gonzoism | nosa-1: no 3d in vmware..... | 06:12 |
| gonzoism | Gavin[newbuntu]: thanks | 06:12 |
| nosa-1 | hmm ' | 06:12 |
| micahcowan | dubby, oh. That worked, then? | 06:12 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1 do you have the restricted drivers for your video card? | 06:12 |
| gonzoism | nosa-1: what is your resolution currently at ? | 06:13 |
| micahcowan | It still doesn't make sense to me that it would say you were trying to remove ubuntu-desktop, far as I know that's still in Hardy. | 06:13 |
| nosa-1 | 1 sec guys | 06:13 |
| drash | Bob24: perhaps "sudo apt-get install ffmpegthumbnailer" will do that | 06:13 |
| jtrucks | so, I have 6.10, I point sources.list to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/. It then tries to change the distro reference from edgy to feisty, but feisty isn't on old-releases, it's on releases... | 06:13 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | gonzoism: do you know if installing directx9 is required with wine? or does it handle that on its own? | 06:13 |
| cristina | hi all. I need romanian language additional characters and from keyboard layout(gnome) If I select any of the romanian variants It doesn't work properly(missing letters). Can someone guide me with this? | 06:13 |

| Flannel | cristina: They may be able to help you more | 06:14 |
| dubby | micahcowan: well yes it worked but as you see its making a lot of issues and it seems to me that ubuntu-desktop is default installed in the desktop edition and not on the server edition -which is what i am dealing with | 06:14 |
| IronRage | how do i install a gtk 1 or gtk 2? | 06:14 |
| nosa-1 | 1280x800 resolution gonzoism | 06:14 |
| Bob24 | drash: is that for mythbuntu | 06:14 |
| gonzoism | nosa-1: what resolution do you need ? | 06:14 |
| micahcowan | Oh, right... it's a server version. Then why would ubuntu-desktop ever have been installed? Hm. | 06:14 |
| nosa-1 | no clue ill try higher | 06:14 |
| bullgard4 | IronRage: Look in Synaptic for the suitable package and then install it using Synaptic. | 06:14 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | gonzoism: i am thinking his error is because of a lack of 3d acceleration drivers | 06:15 |
| IronRage | ty bullgard1 | 06:15 |
| dubby | idk I am not the first admin on this computer :-/ | 06:15 |
| h0n3st | IronRage, aptget install libgtk2 | 06:15 |
| === finsky312 is now known as Finsky | ||
| nosa-1 | good idean gavin | 06:15 |
| cristina | Flannel, pretty low presence on ubuntu-ro. I doubt someone hears me there | 06:15 |
| IronRage | libgtk2? | 06:15 |
| drash | Bob24: not sure, i'm not familiar with mythbuntu, but it's quite a generally used thumbnailer package .. | 06:15 |
| IronRage | i'm not sure what that is | 06:15 |
| h0n3st | IronRage, yeah | 06:15 |
| nosa-1 | my resolution wont go no hiigher | 06:15 |
| IronRage | what is it? | 06:15 |
| gonzoism | Gavin[newbuntu]: i don't know. but i have messed with that before and i think that directX is needed. | 06:15 |
| nosa-1 | umm roller coster 2 runs fine | 06:15 |
| nosa-1 | no problems at all | 06:15 |
| Flannel | cristina: That's very possible, but can't hurt to ask and see. | 06:15 |
| h0n3st | IronRage, gtk is library so the package name begin with lib | 06:15 |
| IronRage | oh | 06:16 |
| IronRage | so just put w/e the package name is? | 06:16 |
| cristina | Flannel, asked... I I see (nothing) | 06:16 |
| h0n3st | IronRage, you can use auto complete to find exact name of it | 06:16 |
| jtrucks | hrm | 06:16 |
| jtrucks | I could edit do-release-upgrade | 06:17 |

| dek | could anyone make Virtualbox work with 2.6.24-18-generic kernel? | 06:17 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: go to system > administration > hardware drivers | 06:17 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: If it doesn't work, we can just do it manually | 06:17 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: make sure your driver (ATI or nVidia) is installed | 06:17 |
| shingen | if I did something really stupid, like untar a HUUUGE file on the desktop and it showed all the icons, and then deleted all the files on CLI, how long would it take to refresh the files displayed on the desktop? | 06:17 |

| connor | i did that once with roms on windows | 06:18 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: i just installed the ATI driver on mine... going to see if i can get RCT3 on wine to see if i can help you out | 06:18 |
| connor | i deleted all the roms | 06:18 |
| gonzoism | cristina: ah. i bet google would be the best bet for figuring that out. tldp.org might have a howto on it. but there is bound to be a place that has that exact answer somewhere. | 06:18 |
| drash | Bob24: reading that mythbuntu use Xfce as desktop you'll probably have Thunar, it does work with that | 06:18 |
| connor | switched users, and went back | 06:18 |
| nosa-1 | ok | 06:18 |
| connor | more popped up lmao | 06:18 |

| nosa-1 | how can i find out | 06:19 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: as in the whole upgrade, or the step do-release-upgrade is doing? | 06:19 |
| connor | nosa-1: what kind of intel | 06:19 |
| Jalathan | connor: cell phone interface framework | 06:20 |

| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: are you using a laptop? | 06:20 |
| nosa-1 | yes | 06:20 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: do-release-upgrade would be doing the upgrade from Edgy to Feisty. We can do it manually | 06:20 |
| shingen | btw, I didn't mean to google android :) I meant it's Google Android... the pda platform | 06:20 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: what brand and model? | 06:20 |

| Gavin[newbuntu] | i'm gonna hit google to see if there are any drivers for that | 06:24 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: probably. Which kernel are you using? | 06:24 |
| jtrucks | 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP | 06:25 |
| jtrucks | hrm | 06:25 |
| * jtrucks doesn't need the SMP bit though | 06:25 | |
| Flannel | jtrucks: generic doesn't have different ones for SMP or UP | 06:25 |
| jtrucks | k | 06:25 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: Do you have restricted-modules? | 06:25 |
| jtrucks | maybe | 06:26 |
| jtrucks | how can I check? | 06:26 |
| nosa-1 | the lappy is newr than rc3 | 06:26 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: dpkg -l | grep linux-restricted-modules | 06:26 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: no :) | 06:27 |
| jtrucks | I take it that makes this easier? | 06:27 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: doesn't really matter, it just clarifies which kernel metapackage we want. It's easy either way. | 06:28 |
| jtrucks | k | 06:28 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | nosa-1: hmm i dont know what to do about a driver, but wait up for me to install rct3 to see if i get the same thing | 06:28 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal | 06:28 |
| nosa-1 | ok cool gavin | 06:28 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: then change your sources.list from edgy to feisty, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:28 |
| nosa-1 | just let me know | 06:28 |
| jtrucks | Flannel++ | 06:29 |

| Flannel | jtrucks: Once you have those, you're actually streamlined for upgrading straight to Hardy if you'd like. Once the one dist-upgrade is done, reboot (to use the new kernel), and then change feisty to gutsy, lather, rinse, repeat. | 06:30 |
| wuxia | suppose I type 1: firefox &; 2: firefox &; ... then if the firefox in 2 crashes, the firefox in 1 also crashes -- they're some how linked ... or just running as the separate process. Is there a way to have the two be separated? so that if one crahses, the other still runs fine? | 06:30 |

| nosa-1 | hmm ok... | 06:31 |
| m1r | wuxia: that would be nice :) | 06:32 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: Another thing I should mention is that if you have anything big like apache installed, make sure you have the main metapackage (apache2, for instance) installed. But, there's really no reason you'd remove that, (and if its not there, your system will still work, you just wont necessarily have that package upgraded) | 06:32 |

| jtrucks | I installed metapackages as much as possible, and I haven't futzed with it much since. | 06:33 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: so, one point of confusion for me is that releases.ubuntu.com has a different file layout than old-releases... | 06:34 |

| jtrucks | Flannel: by streamlined for upgrading straight to hardy, do you mean once I'm on 7.04 (Feisty) I can go straight to 8.04 (Hardy)? | 06:35 |
| jtrucks | Flannel: doh! that helps, thanks. | 06:35 |
| cristina | /join #linux | 06:35 |
| Flannel | jtrucks: no, no. Just you already know you have your metapackages and stuff, so all you have to do is upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 | 06:36 |

| TiZ_ | I've seen this thread before, researching on my own. | 07:02 |
| Steph33560 | Hello | 07:02 |

| Steph33560 | On hardy, what is the menu to setup automatic logon ?? | 07:03 |
| m1r | TiZ_: do you have any other window manager installed ? | 07:03 |
| cmX | it just shows a _ in the top righthand corner | 07:03 |
| Bllz | what is the syntax of the make command if i'm trying to install from source (there is a makefile already present) | 07:03 |
| nosa-1 | lol ill give it another go tomaorw | 07:03 |
| nosa-1 | its 2 am | 07:03 |
| Steph33560 | I'm lost since migration form gutsy :( | 07:03 |

| nosa-1 | gl with your ant | 07:03 |
| Gavin[newbuntu] | im so hardcore i ignore hunger pains when im using the computer and avoiding large scary ants | 07:04 |
| Rat409 | Bllz: usually ./configure make make install | 07:04 |
| nosa-1 | lol hardcore! | 07:04 |
| Steph33560 | please ... | 07:04 |
| kdc1956 | linux does that to you too huh | 07:04 |
| TiZ_ | mlr: Yes, Emerald. I use it primarily. | 07:05 |
| NewHandFromCN | hi. Is there tiny gui text edit ? | 07:05 |
| TiZ_ | mlr: Oh, wait. You mean manager. | 07:05 |
| TiZ_ | I have Compiz. | 07:05 |
| Bllz | Rat409: i'm getting configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub make failed | 07:05 |
| darkcrab | computers do that to you | 07:05 |
| tony_ | Adept updater asked if i wanted the new version of grub and gave an option to start a new shell to examine the situation, so that's what i did. But it's right in my Adept update and won't continue? what do i type? | 07:05 |
| m1r | TiZ_: try set all default meaning , disable emerald and if/or any other window manager | 07:05 |
| m1r | TiZ_: also turn off compiz | 07:05 |
| TiZ_ | mlr: I just tried that. I switched back to metacity. No luck. Still slow. | 07:06 |
| digdug | newhandfromcn: gedit claims to be a small text editor | 07:06 |
| Rat409 | Bllz: only if theres a configure script present some apps only require make sudo make install read the readme,install files with the source | 07:06 |
| m1r | TiZ_: emerald and compiz is OFF ? | 07:06 |
| TiZ_ | Yep. Both were off. | 07:06 |
| Steph33560 | there was a former "session manager" | 07:06 |
| NewHandFromCN | digdug: thanks.:) | 07:06 |
| Flannel | tony_: exit, probably | 07:06 |
| Steph33560 | i can't find it anymore to login automatically | 07:06 |
| kokice | how do i kill all network services | 07:06 |
| kokice | so they dont come up? | 07:06 |

| tony_ | Flannel, lol, thanks. i feel stupid now | 07:07 |
| Rat409 | Steph33560: gnome-system-menu configure-login-window? | 07:07 |
| darkcrab | open system monitor and kill the process kokice? | 07:07 |
| kdc1956 | go to administration to set up auto log in | 07:07 |
| kokice | ok | 07:07 |
| Bllz | Rat409: the readme doesn't say much, i see the config file, but running make yields "no targets sepecified and no makefile found. stop." I feel like i'm missing something obvious.... | 07:08 |
| Steph33560 | Rat409, It's not in my menu | 07:08 |
| m1r | TiZ_: can u do for test , rename .gnome2 folder to .gnome2_bckp and relogin , not sure that can help . but just for test | 07:08 |
| darkcrab | I am not sure kokice, I was just guessing | 07:08 |

| Steph33560 | Rat409, can you give me the app to launch please ? | 07:08 |
| kokice | i dont know how to do it like that :( | 07:08 |
| Rat409 | kokice: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop | 07:08 |
| kokice | Rat409: ok | 07:08 |
| tony_ | why does grub update so much? it's a bootloader, not much room for improvement | 07:08 |
| m1r | TiZ_: if somthing goes wrong u can rename .gnome2_bckp back to .gnome2 | 07:08 |
| Rat409 | Steph33560: be a minute i'm in openbox,so have to look | 07:09 |
| TiZ_ | mlr: where is the .gnome2 folder I need to rename? | 07:09 |
| Steph33560 | back | 07:09 |
| TiZ_ | And how much could go wrong? I'm not 100% familliar with the terminal yet. | 07:09 |
| m1r | TiZ_: in your home folder , "." meaning is hidden | 07:09 |
| darkcrab | terminal is cool | 07:09 |
| m1r | TiZ_: then better not do it :/ | 07:10 |
| Lu_buntu | terminal use it 90% of the time | 07:10 |
| m1r | TiZ_: it is question of renaming file and restaring X | 07:10 |
| Bob24 | hello | 07:10 |
| bullgard1 | TiZ_: You can find that out yourself using GNOME Search Tool. | 07:10 |
| TiZ_ | What do you mean? Find out how much can go wrong? O_o | 07:11 |
| TiZ_ | Or where .gnome2 is? | 07:11 |

| ubottu | bob: 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. :-) | 07:11 |
| Rat409 | Steph33560: try /usr/bin/gdmphotosetup or just open gnome-control-center | 07:11 |
| Bob24 | could someone plz tell me how i can find the metadata of a Movie. So i can retrieve its informantion? | 07:11 |
| Steph33560 | Rat409, /usr/bin/gdmphotosetup opens me a window for my user photo :p | 07:11 |
| Rat409 | Bob24: internet movie dtatbase from google? | 07:11 |
| Light- | Bob24: open it in Totem, then movie>properties | 07:12 |
| m1r | TiZ_: i am no expert that i can advise you this will solve the problem, but i would try this way, mv .gnome2 .gnome2org then restart X , and if fails , then use comand back | 07:12 |
| Rat409 | Steph33560: you mean you're using startx and want auto? | 07:12 |
| Bob24 | where do i go on imdb | 07:12 |
| Steph33560 | yes gnome-control-center :) | 07:12 |
| Bob24 | ? | 07:12 |
| Steph33560 | Thanks Rat409 | 07:13 |
| TiZ_ | So do sudo mv .gnome2 .gnome2org and then do the reverse if it fails? | 07:13 |

| Lu_buntu | can i have a XEN VM with more tan 2 users?? | 07:13 |
| Steph33560 | gotta go to work now ... | 07:14 |
| Light- | Lu_buntu: most likely, it would be pretty pointless if you could only have 2 users | 07:14 |
| Bob24 | is there somewhere on imdb i can get this info | 07:14 |
| Steph33560 | sbye | 07:14 |
| Bob24 | ? | 07:14 |
| Lu_buntu | have a nice day ste | 07:14 |
| Rat409 | Bob24: no idea | 07:15 |
| Light- | Bob24: what exactly are you looking for? | 07:15 |
| Bob24 | k | 07:15 |
| TiZ_ | mlr, you've confused me. That's opposite of the first command you gave me. | 07:15 |
| drewbert | bye all. | 07:15 |
| m1r | TiZ_: yes, that is to return config to as it were | 07:15 |
| Lu_buntu | can i have a XEN VM with more than 2 users?? | 07:15 |
| Rat409 | !xen | Lu_buntu | 07:16 |
| ubottu | Lu_buntu: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 07:16 |
| TiZ_ | Oh, okay. | 07:16 |
| m1r | TiZ_: 1st comand will rename folder, then u restart X and login, then if problems, just rename it back , u understand ? | 07:16 |
| Bob24 | Light-: well im using Mythbuntu, and it has an option to retrieve info from IMDB but i need a metadata number for it, so i need to know which numbet the movie is to retrieve the info. Also it should show thumbnails of the movie. | 07:16 |
| TiZ_ | Right. I understand. | 07:16 |
| TiZ_ | Oh, I have updates to install. | 07:16 |
| m1r | TiZ_: do that 1stz | 07:16 |
| Light- | Bob24: ohh, hmm let me look | 07:17 |
| TiZ_ | I'll do them, and if they don't solve the problem, I'll try yours. Is that okay? | 07:17 |
| m1r | TiZ_: always update to latest if u can | 07:17 |
| TiZ_ | Okay | 07:17 |
| Bob24 | Light-: ok | 07:17 |

| jon_ | whats the name of the next ubuntu release? | 07:18 |
| Light- | Bob24: they might mean the "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499448/" tt0499488 part of the link | 07:18 |
| TiZ_ | If the update doesn't help, I'll do mv .gnome2 .gnome2org, and if it doesn't help or breaks something, I'll mv .gnome2org .gnome2 | 07:18 |
| TiZ_ | Do I have all that right? | 07:18 |
| TiZ_ | I can't be too careful. | 07:18 |
| m1r | TiZ_: correct | 07:18 |
| TiZ_ | Okay. Cool. | 07:19 |
| bullgard4 | jon_: Intrepid | 07:19 |
| TiZ_ | Thank you! | 07:19 |
| darth | 49948 is then the imdb id | 07:19 |

| CaptainMorgan | this is the second time I've had to manually edit menu.lst to account for the ..24-18 kernel/module update. 8.04 came with 16... anyone have any idea why this is not getting written accordingly for the update? | 07:19 |
| itson | please i need some help trying to figure out why i have some lag issues when my linux system is acting as a router. | 07:20 |
| Light- | CaptainMorgan: when you install a new kernel, you have to choose "use package maintainers version" for grub menu.lst, default wont work as it keeps your old one | 07:20 |
| Bob24 | Light-: Thanks heaps man :) thats right | 07:20 |

| darth | CaptainMorgan, i think that is if you do the update thru apt-get | 07:21 |
| Light- | CaptainMorgan: when you update, it should come up with a window asking what you want to do with your odl menu.lst, thats where you select "use package maintainers version" | 07:22 |

| CaptainMorgan | not much of an *update* if I have to manually edit the grub files... or any files for that matter | 07:26 |

| darth | Light-, all disks? | 07:36 |
| cohonen | its more like a driver / dev mapoper thing | 07:36 |
| cohonen | shaft0r: were all over it | 07:36 |
| darth | so ubuntu has no /dev/hda anymore? | 07:36 |
| derek | darth all you said was u I didnt just su, and i did | 07:36 |
| cohonen | darth: you can make it if you like :D | 07:37 |
| Light- | darth: well, all my ide disks were sd*, dunno if thats true for everyone | 07:37 |
| duduman | Light: thanks man works fine now. The problem is that I tried this before in the light disc but the internet wasn't working so it didn't work. Thanks a lot for ur help. | 07:37 |
| darth | light: i think that is because they're "scsi"-disks | 07:37 |
| Light- | duduman: no problem | 07:37 |
| cohonen | darth: but no not pr default | 07:37 |
| sportman | any web cam support in linux yet? | 07:37 |
| shaft0r | I thought sd* was scsi.. but these drives are definitly IDE (pata infact) | 07:37 |
| cohonen | its damn confusing an ugly | 07:37 |
| Gralco | emerald isn't working when i select my theme i run compiz and nothing changes, help? | 07:37 |
| darth | linux uses scsi-commands for sata disks | 07:37 |
| Light- | darth: no, they are IDE disks, my motherboard doesnt have SCSI | 07:37 |
| cohonen | and | 07:37 |
| Light- | darth: oh, ok | 07:37 |
| chrono13 | Storage media in Ubuntu that is sd*: (pata, sata, usb, etc). | 07:37 |
| darth | this laptop has AHCI enabled on the disk-controller | 07:38 |
| duduman | what about my low sound? which works fine on windows. By the way I have Ubuntu 7.04 | 07:38 |
| cohonen | might as well mapped em all to /dev/hd** while they were at it | 07:38 |
| darth | and i mount /dev/sd* | 07:38 |
| darth | if i put it in compat-mode i have to mount everything under /dev/hd* | 07:38 |
| cohonen | duduman: and all the usual suspects are checked ? alsa mixer ? | 07:38 |
| Light- | duduman: try changing your sound to use the ALSA or PuleAudio mixer. Double click the volume control and go file>change device | 07:38 |
| Light- | *PulseAudio | 07:39 |
| darth | i really like how easy ubuntu is to install | 07:39 |
| darth | 30 minutes and a little tinkering | 07:39 |
| darth | compiz and everything works... | 07:39 |
| chrono13 | a far cry from that other OS install ; ) | 07:39 |
| cohonen | darth: i really like the new version has failed to piss me off yet ,codec and driver wise and suspend | 07:39 |
| darth | :) | 07:39 |
| cohonen | the suspend thing is still flanky | 07:39 |
| darth | suspend doesnt work for me | 07:39 |
| cohonen | flaky | 07:39 |
| cohonen | i dont get it | 07:40 |
| Light- | suspend is for queers | 07:40 |
| darth | :) | 07:40 |
| derek | lol | 07:40 |
| cohonen | typically suspends works like a charm ,, then when you use these nasty n00b kernels it fails | 07:40 |
| shaft0r | is "openSSH" server on a server install the same as ssh you'd use to connect to your box? | 07:40 |
| cohonen | why do people screw it up | 07:40 |
| duduman | Tried Alsa and realtek still not working | 07:40 |
| Light- | shaft0r: probably | 07:40 |
| chrono13 | When building systems for other people, I usually set gconf-editor to deny hibernate/suspend so that they do not appear on the logout options. Prevents issues. | 07:40 |
| cohonen | shaft0r: the one is ssh the other is sshd | 07:41 |
| cohonen | shaft0r: typically they the same package | 07:41 |
| darth | and ssh is bundled with sshd | 07:41 |
| shaft0r | ah i gotcha ok | 07:41 |
| Light- | duduman: theres not much you can do beyond that, except check that all volume controls are right up | 07:41 |
| duduman | their all up | 07:41 |
| cohonen | darth: which is amasing considdering its a debain based distro | 07:41 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? | 07:42 |
| duduman | there has to be something | 07:42 |
| arpan | hi, i need some help with SSH. Is this the right room for me to get help on SSH? | 07:42 |
| darth | cohonen, not really into the whole linux-history | 07:42 |
| darth | im come from freebsd | 07:42 |
| darth | why would debian not use openssh? | 07:42 |
| cohonen | darth: so what drove you to linux., fire, the boss, cocaine ? | 07:42 |
| Light- | arpan: /join #openssh | 07:42 |
| darth | cohonen, the ease of ubuntu | 07:43 |
| agitdd99 | hello everyone | 07:43 |
| cohonen | darth: debain just have a habbit of splitting packages up in tiny annoying peices | 07:43 |
| agitdd99 | i need help here | 07:43 |
| darth | bought a new thinkpad, tried ubuntu | 07:43 |
| cohonen | agitdd99: hit me big daddy | 07:43 |
| darth | cohonen, ohh | 07:43 |
| Light- | !question | agitdd99 | 07:43 |
| ubottu | agitdd99: 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. :-) | 07:43 |
| agitdd99 | anyone who has installed ubuntu on Asus P5GC-MX? | 07:43 |
| cohonen | darth: nice, a x61s ? | 07:43 |
| darth | everything works | 07:43 |
| darth | nah t61 | 07:43 |
| Light- | agitdd99: no, but I ran the LiveCD fine | 07:44 |
| cohonen | thinkpads are godlike PERIOD | 07:44 |
| darth | well.... | 07:44 |
| cohonen | other laptops == &/%¤# period | 07:44 |
| agitdd99 | liveCD huh? | 07:44 |
| darth | im a total thinkpad fanboy | 07:44 |
| cohonen | me too | 07:44 |
| darth | BUT i must say i am not impressed with 60+ | 07:44 |
| cohonen | thinkpad whore | 07:44 |
| darth | there is something "off" | 07:44 |
| chrono13 | Great start with SSH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSH beyond that... recommend if you are using it for a tunnel, create a new no-privilege user and change their login shell from bash to rbash (also probably should edit your sshd config to make it a little more secure). | 07:44 |
| cohonen | they lowered the quality | 07:44 |
| Light- | agitdd99: I wasnt trying to install it, but I believ it would have worked fine | 07:44 |
| duduman | are there any video tutorials for linux | 07:44 |
| === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master | ||
| darth | which annoys the hell out of me because i am a true tp whore | 07:44 |
| darth | ;) | 07:44 |
| cohonen | duduman: see youtube and video.google.com | 07:44 |
| Light- | duduman: check youtube | 07:44 |
| darth | but its nice | 07:45 |
| darth | i especially love when people say "OMG ITS SO UGLY" | 07:45 |
| cohonen | darth: it still beats the others | 07:45 |
| agitdd99 | is there really ubuntu tutorial on youtube? | 07:45 |
| Alan_M | guys, hate to be a total finger pointer, but watch the language in here please :) | 07:45 |
| cohonen | darth: its not ugly,, it looks what it is | 07:45 |
| Light- | agitdd99: yes, theres video tutorials on how to do stuff in ubuntu | 07:45 |
| cohonen | a tool | 07:45 |
| darth | yes it does cohonen | 07:45 |
| darth | ...beats thgem | 07:45 |
| darth | and yes it looks what it does | 07:45 |
| cohonen | agitdd99: many | 07:45 |
| Kartagis | I installed angry IP scanner on ubuntu, but it fails to ping some IP. how come? | 07:46 |
| chrono13 | agitdd99 - depends on what the tutorial is on. Yes there are some (probably more at video.google.com since it contains youtube and others), but it will depend mostly on what specificily you are looking for. | 07:46 |
| darth | cohonen,you have a tp? | 07:46 |
| cohonen | darth: a T40p and a T60 | 07:46 |
| darth | :) | 07:46 |
| agitdd99 | cool...ubuntu tutorial on youtube | 07:46 |
| darth | 2xT23 and R50 and T61 ;) | 07:46 |
| darth | the t23's are still in use :) | 07:46 |
| duduman | Aren't there like course from beginners to advanced | 07:46 |

| cohonen | darth: my old t40p has been used A LOT,, but it still lives | 07:47 |
| chrono13 | If anyone has a camera, could someone confirm that entries into Removable Devices and Media / Camera work? I absolutely need this custom command to run otherwise my mother can not use her camera with her Ubuntu. | 07:47 |
| darth | i am disappointed in the screen on this t61 | 07:47 |

| TiZ_ | mlr: The update seems to have fixed my problem. | 07:54 |
| chrono13 | Kartagis - have you tried sudo? | 07:54 |
| it-linux | chrono13 : I mean how to detect and make useable | 07:54 |
| chrono13 | By com1, you mean a 9 pin serial port? | 07:55 |
| it-linux | chrono13 : yes exactly | 07:55 |

| duh1337 | hello | 07:56 |
| Kartagis | cohonen: no, why? | 07:56 |
| Kartagis | chrono13: let me try that | 07:56 |
| blizzkid | lo all, when changing the proxy in gnome's "network proxy", what file is being changed? | 07:57 |
| CorpseFeeder | ok. Cancel that - I found printer sharing.... now where do I find the print job queue? | 07:57 |

| blizzkid | Light-: registry? you must be a Windoze-user! :p | 07:58 |
| chrono13 | it-linux, the only command I've done with serial ports is: dmesg | grep tty | 07:58 |
| chrono13 | that gives you a list and some info on it | 07:58 |
| Light- | blizzkid: gnome has a registru | 07:58 |
| chrono13 | It should be enabled by default if I remember correctly. | 07:58 |
| Light- | *registry | 07:58 |
| icecold | hello. | 07:59 |
| cohonen | Kartagis: so you cant ping | 07:59 |
| chrono13 | Light... it isn't as bad as a registry though ; ) | 07:59 |
| icecold | i have a weird question | 07:59 |
| Kartagis | how do I know what command a specific menu item runs? | 07:59 |
| Light- | chrono13: I know, im just saying :P | 07:59 |
| cohonen | Kartagis: you can use strace i guess | 07:59 |
| it-linux | chrono13: thanks, I'll try it | 07:59 |

| blizzkid | Light-: I know, registry just sounds so bad ;) | 08:00 |
| blizzkid | anyway, I need to set a proxy programatically, now the strange thing for me is, when using "network proxy" and starting a terminal, doing printenv shows the proxy. When I "export http_proxy" though, opening a new terminal doesn't show the proxy | 08:01 |
| chrono13 | bullgard4 - are you getting that message while trying to update? | 08:02 |
| bullgard4 | chrono13: No. | 08:02 |
| chrono13 | icecold - was the folder mounted via gnome or via the terminal? I'm not sure which direction your question is in. | 08:02 |
| Kartagis | chrono13: it works. now the next question is, how do I make a menu item run always with sudo? | 08:03 |
| icecold | chrono13, via gnome vfs :( i cant mount it from terminal | 08:03 |

| Myrtti | agitdd99: "sudo lshw" | 08:04 |
| Kartagis | sudo lspci | 08:05 |
| agitdd99 | myrtti: got it..thankx | 08:05 |
| Light- | wow lshw is very verbose | 08:05 |
| chrono13 | Kartagis - go into Edit Menu, find that item, right click on it / properties / change the command from whatever to sudo whatever | 08:05 |
| chrono13 | Or better yet, gksudo | 08:05 |
| chrono13 | sorry | 08:05 |
| Evanlec | gksudo for those who prefer gooies ;p | 08:06 |
| chrono13 | lol | 08:06 |
| Myrtti | there's a graphical tool for it too, but you have to install it first | 08:06 |
| Myrtti | lshw is there of course by default | 08:06 |
| Kartagis | where the hell is Edit menu? | 08:06 |
| Myrtti | system - preferences? | 08:06 |
| Myrtti | oh. | 08:06 |
| Myrtti | which software? | 08:06 |
| chrono13 | Sorry Kartagis. You can right click on Applications and it will show there. | 08:06 |
| Evanlec | lshw is apparently ubuntu-specific ;p | 08:07 |
| fandacious | hi.. | 08:07 |
| Myrtti | Evanlec: iirc it connects to hal | 08:07 |
| ncorpse | hi fandacious | 08:07 |
| fandacious | i'm trying to run the latest ubuntu under virtual pc... | 08:07 |
| Evanlec | ah | 08:07 |
| chrono13 | There is also lsusb and lspci and so on, if one is looking for a specific type of device. | 08:07 |
| fandacious | keep getting "invalid processor instruction" | 08:07 |

| Evanlec | Myrtti: im running archlinux and there appears to be no such command | 08:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | fandacious: what is your host os? | 08:08 |
| Myrtti | Evanlec: so search for a tool for archlinux which uses hal | 08:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | windows, 32 bit? | 08:08 |
| icecold | anyone have ideas where the windows network folders mounted on gnome desktop? | 08:08 |
| ncorpse | Evanlec: lshw is just a symbolic link to lspci. Just use lspci | 08:08 |
| Evanlec | Myrtti: its not a problem, just pointing that out ;p | 08:08 |
| fandacious | dai: vista bus | 08:08 |

| Evanlec | ZFS > all ;p | 08:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | so i've heard | 08:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i know that ext3 is probably the second slowest option for my large drives | 08:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | possibly the slowest | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | but unfortunately opensolaris has to compete directly with linux | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | and has wrappers/emulation for linux support | 08:16 |

| Bob24 | hi, could someone please tell me why the copy speed over lan from windows to ubuntu/mythbuntu is so slow? From ftp its fast but i would like to know what would be causing this please? | 08:21 |
| josh_ | yeah i suppose thats why i have a separate home part anyway heh | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | josh_: if you want to feel better, you would have to upgrade from edgy to feisty to gutsy to dapper | 08:22 |
| Alan_M | josh_, you dont have to be up to date when your clean installing, youll have back ups :) | 08:22 |
| duduman | isn't there like a driver updater for linux | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're better off doing a clean install. | 08:22 |
| Intertricity | Hey was there a shortcut key to take a snapshot and save it to the desktop? | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | because at LEAST one of those upgrades will probably fail | 08:22 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| Alan_M | Daisuke_Ido, my upgrade from gutsy to hardy failed, so i had to go straight, yeah i backed up ;) | 08:22 |

| adred | hi..i got an internal error saying "failed to initialize HAL" after installing selinux. how do i fix this? help pls.. | 08:23 |
| Jalathan | Intertricity: prtsn | 08:23 |
| josh_ | yeah i guess its a clean install for me... but so much of my config files for apache, et al will need backup | 08:23 |
| Alan_M | duduman, update-manager updates every aspect of software including drivers i believe. | 08:23 |
| === Webspot_ is now known as Webspot | ||
| Flannel | josh_: Ubuntu stopped updating edgy a few months ago. You need to switch your sources to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to update so you can upgrade | 08:23 |
| josh_ | if i had known a week ago i could have been prepared | 08:23 |
| duduman | thanks Alan_M | 08:23 |
| josh_ | Flannel: i think you just rescued me ;) | 08:23 |
| Alan_M | Flannel, i wasnt aware of those source servers! THanks man! | 08:23 |
| josh_ | agreed! | 08:23 |
| Alan_M | josh_, theres your answer ;) | 08:23 |
| * josh_ cheers | 08:23 | |
| Alan_M | wow, thank you flannel, for saving both of us yet again. :D | 08:24 |
| Flannel | Alan_M: Its only for the old ones, and mostly for historical purposes. You can also download the old ISOs, if for some reason you wanted to try out warty | 08:24 |
| josh_ | hahah curiousity... | 08:24 |
| * Alan_M shudders...no thanks flannel ill keep hardy :D | 08:24 | |
| Flannel | Alan_M: Grab a warty liveCD, you'll appreciate Hardy a lot more ;) | 08:24 |
| josh_ | lol | 08:25 |
| Alan_M | Flannel, i started on dapper and now on hardy, used all of the versions through the two...i much appreciate hardy! :D | 08:25 |

| doctorow | I have a multi-page PDF that I want to turn into a series of bitmaps (PNGs for preference) -- apart from rasterizing every page, one at a time, in Gimp, is there a fast way? | 08:25 |
| CaptainMorgan | maybe it's my 64-bit architecture, but ever since the upgrade to 8.04 wine crashes ridiculously too often | 08:26 |
| josh_ | yes | 08:26 |
| geolr | Hi folks, I do have this basic problem in understanding ubuntus concept: i like using f-spot. now there was a newer version released than installed in my 8.04. So does the new version enter only the next 8.10 ubuntu or do i have any option to upgrade earlier? | 08:26 |
| josh_ | doctorow: theres many ways, try imagemagick or ghostview | 08:26 |
| chalcedony | CaptainMorgan: or anyone did you get flash to work ? | 08:26 |
| CaptainMorgan | chalcedony, flash works fine for me | 08:27 |
| doctorow | ~Hey, Josh! Thanks for this -- I'll look into ImageMagick -- you wouldn't know the syntax offhand? The docs are extremely voluminous | 08:27 |
| mooGirl | ok | 08:27 |
| geolr | doctorow: pdftk can burst a multipage pdf into single pdfs, these could be converted then | 08:27 |
| Flannel | geolr: You'll recieve bugfixes and security updates for Fspot (they'll be backported into Hardy), but you won't get a new version until 8.10 | 08:27 |
| chalcedony | CaptainMorgan: flash works in what? i have opera and i get gray windows | 08:27 |
| CaptainMorgan | chalcedony, firefox 2.0 | 08:27 |

| Daisuke_Ido | geolr: that all depends on how important the new release is | 08:28 |
| Jalathan | *9.5b2 | 08:28 |
| darth | i cant get opera to show flash in 32bit | 08:28 |
| doctorow | Thanks, Geolr | 08:28 |
| darth | works fine in 64bit | 08:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | geolr: you can enable the backports repository to get newer releases | 08:28 |
| josh_ | doctorow: youre right. its in 'convert' i think you basically have 'convert pdf:myfile.pdf[1-10] png:out.png | 08:28 |
| chalcedony | Jalathan: can you explain more ? (mom of linux geek who moved to texas) | 08:28 |
| duduman | can I use KDE instead of gnome? | 08:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | duduman: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 08:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | then select kde from the session menu when you login | 08:28 |
| doctorow | Thanks, Josh! | 08:28 |

| chi11y | DASPRiD, chipset is Intel G33 gfx card is Intel GMA 3100 | 09:18 |

| Evanlec | John_Nielsen: this time run the upgrade in a terminal, but dont ask me what the command is | 09:23 |
| chi11y | DASPRiD, didn't help | 09:23 |
| John_Nielsen | How do I find out? | 09:23 |

| DASPRiD | http://www.google.com/search?q=Intel+GMA+3100+compiz | 09:24 |

| DASPRiD | there're lot's of results :) | 09:24 |
| chi11y | DASPRiD, in failsafe it runs slow, and normal session has it pre-enabled, there X restarts if I open any window | 09:24 |

| DASPRiD | btw, does anyone know, when the virtualbox kernel modules for 2.6.24-18-generic come out? | 09:25 |
| Nephelauxetic | John_Nielsen, apt-get update and apt-get uprade (of course as root) | 09:25 |
| Light- | Dasprid: I found a blog entry on how to compile them | 09:25 |
| Evanlec | DASPRiD: im running kernel 2.6.25 with vbox | 09:25 |
| Light- | Dasprid: No idea when the official packages come out | 09:25 |
| DASPRiD | chi11y, sorry, never had to work with intel, so can't really help you there i guess :) | 09:26 |
| DASPRiD | i can only search as well | 09:26 |

| Evanlec | DASPRiD: ever worked with x86? | 09:27 |
| DASPRiD | Light-, hmpf, any idea how to tell apt-get to only upgrade the kernel when an equivalent virtualbox kernel module is available? | 09:27 |
| Evanlec | DASPRiD: oh sorry, nvm, u meant intel video devices | 09:27 |
| DASPRiD | heh | 09:28 |
| Evanlec | sorry for the assenine comment ;p | 09:28 |
| Light- | DASPRiD: Dunno, if you dont want to compile it, refrain from clicking the upgrade button until its available | 09:28 |
| John_Nielsen | Its coming up owner@owner-desktop:~$ is that where I type the rest? | 09:28 |
| DASPRiD | Light-, i'd like a safer method, as i need virtualbox for my job :) | 09:28 |
| Evanlec | Kartagis: gonna have to be more specific than that | 09:28 |
| Evanlec | Light-: there's no 'force' option in apt ? | 09:29 |
| Light- | DASPriD: You could do an upgrade from synaptic, and unselect the kernel packages. Or install new kernel, but boot old one until vbox module is available | 09:29 |

| BurntRouter | OMG UberNoobs on this channel | 10:01 |
| Gin | remoteCTRL: you can edit it manually, format is: nameserver ip | 10:01 |
| BurntRouter | Hello zqf007, can I help you? | 10:01 |
| bazhang_ | remoteCTRL, you trying to set up your own domain? | 10:01 |
| Gin | remoteCTRL: replace ip with the actual ip | 10:01 |
| remoteCTRL | Gin: which is a much more nasty thing to do in a script then to use a command:/ | 10:01 |
| Gin | remoteCTRL: how can openening a file with an editor be nasty? :\ | 10:02 |
| remoteCTRL | bazhang_: i have a lan-chooser script that i am working on thoeasily change your laptops networksettings if you take it home for example... | 10:02 |

| remoteCTRL | Gin: as said before i am trying to use it in a script, openeing files in a script with an editor is always a little hard...;) | 10:03 |
| Gin | remoteCTRL: you know that you're allowed to put multiple nameservers in that file | 10:03 |
| Gin | remoteCTRL: echo "nameserver ip" >> /etc/resolve.conf is the command | 10:03 |
| remoteCTRL | Gin: basically ye, what i dont know is the performance impact of it when you have like 5 different ones in it.. | 10:04 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: all right thanks | 10:04 |
| John_Nielsen | bazhang_: Thanks it seems to be working now thank yo for your support it's much appreciated | 10:04 |
| Gin | remoteCTRL: or echo "nameserver ip" > /etc/resolve.conf this will clear the file first then add the entry | 10:04 |
| bazhang_ | John_Nielsen, nicely done | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: google is your frind, as is man | 10:04 |

| NewfieLinux | I dont know what to google though | 10:24 |
| Flannel | AlexCONRAD: It tells you hwo to customize it, which includes adding/removing arbitrarily. But, what you want is the CLI install, which is available on the alternate CD. It'll install a system without anything (no gui, not much more than ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal) and then from there, you can build up. | 10:24 |

| niner64 | most times a non responding program will be caught over a given time.. however open a term do a top and kill id is usualy the safest | 10:45 |
| Chousuke | selocol: anyway, no matter how you kill a process it's always done using the same system call (on linux) | 10:45 |
| Chousuke | selocol: the program you use doesn't really matter. | 10:45 |
| selocol | Chousuke: what about killal -9? when should i use that? | 10:46 |
| Chousuke | selocol: kill -9 sends a different signal than plain kill | 10:46 |
| legend2440 | joema1: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files in pastebin? | 10:46 |
| legend2440 | !paste | 10:46 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 10:46 |
| Chousuke | selocol: it sends SIGKILL instead of SIGTERM | 10:46 |
| tobago | hi, there was kernel update yesterday. and now my synaptic seems to be broken. apt-get works but the synaptic does not. is that kown? | 10:46 |
| joema1 | legend2440: ok, hang on | 10:46 |
| selocol | Chousuke: ok | 10:46 |
| Chousuke | selocol: the difference is that a program has no chance to react to SIGKILL (with SIGTERM it can at least *try* to save data and do emergency shutdown procedures so that nothing is lost) | 10:47 |
| === Maximus is now known as Guest50807 | ||
| selocol | Chousuke: is SIGTERM the same signal as when I hit the top right "X" button to close an X process? | 10:47 |
| joema1 | legend2440: I can't get anything in "places" | 10:47 |
| Chousuke | selocol: you should always try with sigterm first, and only use kill -9 when nothing else works. | 10:47 |
| Chousuke | selocol: nah. that sends an X event. | 10:48 |

Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? | 10:48 |
| Chousuke | selocol: those are separate from unix signals | 10:48 |
| selocol | Chousuke: are those safer and is there a way to send that signal through a unix command? | 10:48 |
| Chousuke | why don't you just click on the x button? :/ | 10:49 |
| selocol | sorry i was just wondering.. good idea :P | 10:49 |
| Chousuke | if there were something to save you'd need access to the GUI anyway | 10:49 |
| selocol | ok | 10:49 |
| niner64 | lol, that would be a suer kill not an unattened program signal selocal | 10:49 |
| joema1 | legend2440: I had no "shutdown " button yesterday | 10:50 |
| Chousuke | selocol: kill can send other unix signals too | 10:50 |
| legend2440 | joema1: and alt+f2 doesn't work either? | 10:50 |
| joema1 | obottu: cool | 10:50 |
| psypher246 | hey dudes, i lost an eager ubuntu conert yesterday cos the latest updates killed him gnome, he could not log in at all and since he was not happy with KDE he has now re-installed, no I'm afraid to run the last weeks updates. did anyone else have issues with gnome not logging in anfter the update, we tried rolling back packages but no relief hey | 10:51 |
| Chousuke | selocol: for example SIGHUP is sometimes used (by convention) to signal server apps to reload their configuration | 10:51 |
| joema1 | legend2440: Alt-f2 works , but nithing comes up on gnome-terminal | 10:51 |

| legend2440 | joema1: can you gedit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostnames from alt+f2? and paste them? | 10:52 |
| psypher246 | he;s gonna run it in a vm for a while to get used to it | 10:52 |
| joema1 | legend2440: : nothing happens | 10:53 |
| niner64 | psypher246: at least he's still interested in linux that's a good thing | 10:53 |
| psypher246 | niner64: yeah he is, he liked it, but as long as it doesn't break. but did anyone else have this issue? | 10:53 |
| niner64 | psypher246: a few did with a kernel update a few days back best way to keep a stable system is backup b4 any update then apply rollback if that fails boot the old kernel in grub | 10:54 |

| alrex021 | is there a way to open win password protected zip files in Ubuntu? | 10:57 |

| Ronald | Running Dapper LTS Server on a Virtuozzo VPS, which cannot upgrade to hardy LTS at this moment (doesn't work, i tried).... Can I use selected packages from hardy (LAMP, webapps) and not revert to pulling debs manually and be on my own regarding upgrades? | 10:57 |
| NewfieLinux | Yes,when I run it it says its not a folder | 10:57 |
| joema1 | legend2440: I type it into alt+f2 and click run and it dissapears and brings back nothing | 10:57 |
| legend2440 | joema1: how about cat /etc/hosts in alt+f2? | 10:57 |
| joaopinto | Ronald, a partial upgrade most likely will break your system | 10:57 |
| joema1 | legend2440: nothing | 10:58 |
| alrex021 | win passwored zip files keep saying that its incorrect password when extracting in ubuntu | 10:58 |
| Ronald | joaopinto: Just the LAMP chain should be little problems though. full hardy system doesn't 'boot' (virtual boot) | 10:58 |

| NewfieLinux | joaopinto when i try to to run the installer it says its not a folder | 10:59 |
| Ronald | joaopinto: glibc is mostly backwards compatible ;) | 10:59 |
| joaopinto | so you can't simply upgrade the AMP packages | 10:59 |
| niner64 | alrex021: just remove them then copy over since you have acccess | 10:59 |

| niner64 | Ward1983: you probably already have a few old kernels when you system boots up in grub there is a list of them the top newest the bottom is the oldest | 11:09 |

| tj83 | abdulla... close your current file and do sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:10 |
| goanookie | legend2440: learn something again :) tx | 12:10 |
| m1r | tobago: sry , cant help u with that :/ my best guess would be find out what is blocking PC (ram or cpu) | 12:10 |
| tj83 | then the "sudo" part is what gives you the higher permissions | 12:10 |

| tj83 | abdulla on paper the old fashioned way | 12:20 |
| soundray | whattheben: not here please | 12:20 |
| abdulla | lol | 12:20 |
| tobago | ActionParsnip, gksu gedit starts but does not open gedit. | 12:20 |
| whattheben | soundray: no | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | try gksudo gedit | 12:20 |
| abdulla | all of them | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tobago: well done for not using sudo | 12:20 |

| meltingclock | i don't see any obvious central time options under adjust time/date...are developers looking into redoing the way clock settings are changed under ubuntu? i.e. listing by time zone instead of places? | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | tobago: gksudo is for gui apps like gedit, sudo is for cli apps like mv, cp, apt-get etc | 12:21 |
| tj83 | abdulla, do sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.confg1 and then add a # at the top line (nano wont save unless you make a change) and then ctrl+x then y and save as xorg.conf to revert to a working file. this is just in case | 12:21 |
| whattheben | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17480/ | 12:21 |

| azzzolino | i have a problem with stunnel4 and ubuntu 8.04 with /etc/init.d/stunnel | 12:22 |
| soundray | schnootop: did you run 'sudo firefox' at any point? Because this can lead to trouble like yours | 12:22 |
| tobago | ActionParsnip, yes but it's not working | 12:22 |
| tobago | legend2440, no | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tobago: not even gksudo? | 12:22 |
| tj83 | abdulla you get the idea? I have to go in just a min | 12:22 |
| icqnumber | tech0007, yep ty | 12:22 |
| tobago | ActionParsnip, gksudo works. | 12:22 |
| abdulla | i opened nano /etc/X11/xorg.confg1 in terminal and its empty | 12:22 |
| whattheben | soundray: i think i just need to see what it should look like | 12:22 |
| soundray | whattheben: it's pretty pointless pasting that... Give me the output of 'sudo apt-get -f install' instead please | 12:23 |
| abdulla | no wait | 12:23 |
| tj83 | then you didnt tell me the file correctly and also you dont need to do this now... only if your system doesnt start up after re-start | 12:23 |
| gnomefreak | abdulla: did you try /etc/X11/org.conf? | 12:23 |
| dvs | how do i format a ntfs external hdd to fat32? | 12:23 |
| abdulla | i opened nano /etc/X11/xorg.confg1 and its empty | 12:23 |
| whattheben | soundray: ok | 12:23 |
| meltingclock | or better yet, is there a way to manually change the time without selecting a location? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tobago: cool, use that | 12:23 |
| tj83 | just use your old file name in the event it doesnt work | 12:23 |
| tobago | ActionParsnip, mmh. but why is gksu not working. i can't be happy. | 12:23 |
| gnomefreak | abdulla: empty because most likely it isnt a file | 12:23 |
| tj83 | gnomefreak... your right.. but abdulla is confused already | 12:24 |
| soundray | meltingclock: 'man date', then set the time with 'sudo date' | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tobago: hmmm, interesting, let me webseach (you could always symlink it ;)) | 12:24 |
| legend2440 | tobago: open System>Admin>Network then click General tab What does Host Name say? | 12:24 |
| moDumass | ok, evolution just sorted itself out | 12:24 |
| abdulla | ohh 0_O | 12:24 |
| moDumass | problem appears to be gone | 12:24 |
| moDumass | random | 12:24 |
| soundray | dvs: 'man mkdosfs', or use gparted | 12:24 |
| meltingclock | soundray: thanks | 12:24 |
| abdulla | so wht do i do?? | 12:24 |
| Michael285 | Anyone have any experience with installing Xubuntu from a jumpdrive? | 12:24 |

| tobago | legend2440, bfpi-cr (the host name) | 12:25 |
| dvs | i'm in gparted... do i need to unmount it? | 12:25 |
| gnomefreak | tj83: than maybe he should boot in safe X and use the GUI app to configure drivers | 12:25 |
| abdulla | ibash: /etc/X11/org.conf: No such file or directory | 12:25 |
| soundray | dvs: absolutely | 12:25 |
| tj83 | adbdulla you need to restart.. and use nano to open your old file and save it as xorg.conf | 12:25 |
| gnomefreak | tj83: asssuming this is hardy X should fail and give him a safe X | 12:25 |

| dvs | ok thank you, seems so easy now | 12:26 |
| gnomefreak | tj83: ah | 12:26 |
| abdulla | so if it doesnt work | 12:26 |
| soundray | whattheben: that looks just fine. Can you install a package that you want with 'sudo apt-get install packagename'? | 12:26 |
| abdulla | how do i go back to the old one | 12:26 |
| whattheben | soundray: i'll try now | 12:26 |
| tj83 | gnomefreak i couldnt rememebr the more simpler methond like "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 12:26 |
| gnomefreak | tj83: other way around | 12:27 |
| gnomefreak | you want backup to be last | 12:27 |
| tobago | ActionParsnip, as is said. gksudo works. but gksu does not work. | 12:27 |
| dvs | umm, i get an error (while trying to format my external hdd to fat32) /etc/sdb1 no such file or directory | 12:27 |
| tj83 | abdulla give me the exact file name | 12:27 |

| abdulla | ahh ok | 12:28 |
| tj83 | gnome freak i have to go.. the work is already done and this is just precautionary... but will you give abdulla the exact command using the filename for me? | 12:28 |
| soundray | dvs: does your drive show up in the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'? | 12:28 |
| dvs | lsusb doesn't show anything is plugged in | 12:28 |

| ActionParsnip | abdulla: look at the creation dates, that can help | 12:30 |
| tj83 | about to walk out the door | 12:30 |
| soundray | dvs: it may not be the drive -- it could be the cable, the socket, the root hub, a hard lock-up of your computer's USB subsystem... | 12:31 |
| abdulla | creation dates | 12:31 |
| tj83 | abdulla you have to give me the exact file name | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: when creating an xorg.conf backup id suggest using the date in the filename | 12:31 |
| legend2440 | tobago: no second line of /etc/hosts where it say 127.0.1.1 bfpi-christian should be 127.0.1.1 bfpi-cr | 12:31 |
| abdulla | how can ti help | 12:31 |
| soundray | dvs: short of trying it in another computer, the first thing you should try is to power-cycle both your computer and the drive. | 12:31 |
| abdulla | the xact file name is : xorg.conf.backup | 12:31 |

| ActionParsnip | tj83: np bor | 12:34 |
| tobago | legend2440, o.k. i'll do so. | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | bro | 12:34 |
| tj83 | abdulla re-start... you should be fine | 12:34 |
| Pici | naresh: Use network-manager | 12:34 |
| naresh | ok | 12:34 |
| soundray | zetheroo: use VNC over SSH | 12:34 |
| legend2440 | tobago: can you paste /etc/hosts file after you change it? | 12:35 |
| naresh | but there is problem | 12:35 |
| legend2440 | !paste | 12:35 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:35 |

| legend2440 | tobago: update manager open now? | 12:35 |
| naresh | i hav configured every thing but | 12:35 |
| abdulla | actionparsnip i type sudo cp <old filename> xorg.conf in terminal when it doesnt work | 12:35 |
| tobago | legend2440, now gksu works. so the hostname was the wrong one (though i don't know who changed it.) | 12:35 |
| naresh | i m using a local net connection | 12:35 |
| soundray | zetheroo: you will have to configure the routers to port-forward ssh traffic to your respective machines | 12:35 |
| abdulla | sudo cp <old filename> xorg.conf, with the <> | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: yes, BUT <old filename> is the filename of the backup that you made before playing ok | 12:36 |
| soundray | zetheroo: that's beyond #ubuntu-support of course | 12:36 |
| tobago | legend2440, yeah synaptic now can be run as gksu too right now. | 12:36 |
| zetheroo | soundray: so its a pretty complicated proceedure | 12:36 |
| legend2440 | tobago: no one changed it. its been happening to a lot of people | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: if you type EXACTLY that line it wont work | 12:36 |
| tobago | big up legend2440 | 12:36 |
| soundray | zetheroo: not necessarily, depending on your routers | 12:36 |
| tobago | legend2440, so that's because of the last kernel update? | 12:36 |
| legend2440 | tobago: ok no problem | 12:36 |
| abdulla | i know so i type : sudo cp <xorg.conf.backup> xorg.conf | 12:37 |
| soundray | zetheroo: well, yes, it's much less straightforward than if you were on the same LAN | 12:37 |
| zetheroo | soundray: I mean I need to have this to help people with their technical issues.... how are they supposed to set this up when they are having probs with much simpler things? | 12:37 |

| soundray | zetheroo: you've answered your own question: it's not a good solution | 12:37 |

| ActionParsnip | abdulla: not EXACTLY that | 12:39 |
| windowsgeek_15 | Hi all! ^_^ | 12:39 |
| soundray | zetheroo: then you will have to deliver them a remotely administrable setup in the first place | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: do you know the name of the file you backed up your xorg.conf with | 12:39 |
| abdulla | ya | 12:39 |
| abdulla | xorg.conf.backup | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: ok what is it called? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | good | 12:39 |
| zetheroo | soundray: thing is though that I had a guy take over control of my machine via the terminal without any tweaking of my router etc.... how is this possible? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ok so if whatever tj36 (or whatever his nick was) doesnt work | 12:40 |
| soundray | zetheroo: ssh | 12:40 |
| zetheroo | soundray: we were also continents apart | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: you can revert back by typing: | 12:40 |
| abdulla | ya | 12:40 |
| abdulla | 12:40 | |
| zetheroo | soundray: but I ddin't do anything on my end with my router | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | abdulla: cd /etc/X11; sudo cp ./xorg.conf.backup ./xorg.conf | 12:40 |

| zetheroo | soundray: so this is possible?.... it must be.... I just don't remember what he had me do | 12:41 |
| whattheben | soundray: do i need to save the package to a specific location to use sudo apt-get install? | 12:41 |
| soundray | whattheben: no. It just has to be in one of the repositories that you have enabled. | 12:42 |

| zetheroo | soundray: that sound really cool..... | 12:45 |

| windowsgeek | Guys, what virtualbox-ose-modules i need to install XP on ubuntu? | 12:45 |
| mgolisch | you could use putty for example | 12:46 |
| soundray | zetheroo: there is a section TCP FORWARDING in man ssh where this is described -- but I'm sure there are tutorials out there. Why would you want a GUI setup for a command line tool? | 12:46 |
| mgolisch | maybe there is something dedicated to setup ssh port forwardings too | 12:46 |
| codecaine | I don't like ose I like the virtualbox thats not ose | 12:46 |
| mgolisch | no idea | 12:46 |
| soundray | mgolisch: why putty? | 12:46 |
| mgolisch | cause its grafical? | 12:46 |
| codecaine | I like putty for windows | 12:46 |
| soundray | mgolisch: oh, for the GUI, I see | 12:46 |
| zetheroo | soundray: well I guess I am a lot more comfortable with gui's than command line | 12:46 |
| soundray | codecaine: you'll like putty for Linux, too, then ;) | 12:47 |
| zetheroo | :) | 12:47 |

| codecaine | windowsgeek is should do it automatic for you | 12:48 |
| mgolisch | windowsgeek: just create a new vm let it boot from your windows cdrom or iso image | 12:48 |
| windowsgeek | it say : | 12:48 |
| windowsgeek | VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. | 12:48 |

| FloodBot1 | windowsgeek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:48 |
| windowsgeek | whops, sory for flood | 12:48 |
| zetheroo | soundray: ha.... well in VNC I can connect to another computer and view exactly what they are viewing..... | 12:48 |
| codecaine | windows geek you need to install this build-essential | 12:48 |
| mgolisch | windowsgeek: installl that package with the kernel module then | 12:48 |
| soundray | zetheroo: what if they are on a slow dialup connection? | 12:49 |
| zetheroo | soundray: I do it on my own network.. and thought it would be a super tool to use for those I help elsewhere | 12:49 |
| windowsgeek | there are a huge amount of them there... which one i need to install? | 12:49 |

| windowsgeek | thx, ill try it | 12:50 |

| zetheroo | mgolisch: you have used it? | 12:50 |
| === kevin_ is now known as scheibk | ||
| codecaine | windowsgeek you need to install linux headers and build essentials that will fix that | 12:51 |
| mgolisch | yeah at home | 12:51 |

| mgolisch | how would that help the missing/not loaded kernelmodule? | 12:51 |
| mnemoc | hi, where can I get the official list of sites the GUI use to update /etc/apt/sources.list?, the one I use (cl.archive.ubuntu.com) is down | 12:52 |

| LAU_ | compiz fusion Help??please | 12:52 |
| soundray | windowsgeek: I think you should try 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r)' | 12:53 |
| mnemoc | found, thanks | 12:53 |
| windowsgeek | i am already installing ose-modules-generis, i hope it will help | 12:53 |

| === Primrose is now known as TEr | ||

| windowsgeek | and, will i need windows image later to run xp? or it already containes in virtualbox? | 12:55 |

| soundray | AwaDoV: which version of Ubuntu is your CD? | 13:01 |
| Toznoshio | Q: how can I convert an IP address into the binary string (not hex) in the bash shell? | 13:01 |

| === Stacey37_ is now known as Stacey37 | ||

| AwaDoV | and the same happened | 13:03 |
| henninge | Toznoshio, that is not a simple task. sounds more like having to code a bit | 13:03 |
| AaronH | yes, AwaDoV, I've never experienced that problem, have you tried the latest version of ubuntu? | 13:03 |
| AwaDoV | my friend have this ver | 13:03 |

| AwaDoV | how ? | 13:04 |
| AaronH | hammad I don't have a ATI card nor have I installed one on ubuntu, so I dont exactly know, but did you check to see if the drivers were in the restricted drivers? | 13:04 |
| soundray | hammad: how did you determine that the driver isn't active? | 13:04 |
| hammad | I reboot but how can isee that they are installed | 13:05 |
| soundray | AwaDoV: there is an option at boot | 13:05 |
| henninge | Toznoshio, I dont understand "ranges of IPs init lists". Please rephrase that. | 13:05 |
| soundray | hammad: 'glxinfo | grep -i render' | 13:05 |
| AwaDoV | check cd from th defects | 13:05 |
| Toznoshio | henninge: my objective is actually to convert ranges of IPs into lists (sorry spelled inti instead of into) | 13:05 |

| legend2440 | Rixon-: they have something to do with why admin apps won't start up. does your update manager try to start and then stop also? | 13:12 |
| Rixon- | no everything works | 13:12 |

| soundray | hammad: and enable the ATI driver | 13:13 |
| legend2440 | Rixon-: ok sorry i misunderstood. i thought login was not starting up | 13:13 |
| henninge | Toznoshio, directest approach is to code a loop that counts up and does a manual roll-over at 255. | 13:13 |
| === _bash3ll_ is now known as _bash3ll | ||

| Toznoshio | henninge: thanks, I'll try that | 13:14 |
| Rixon- | it only happened since yesterday after i restarted after some updates | 13:14 |

| legend2440 | Rixon-: resolution for everything else is normal? | 13:14 |
| extremus | because i just erased a partition ahead of ubuntu | 13:14 |

| hammad | Soundray: i got it thx ill reboot see you in few minutes :D | 13:15 |
| ||bass | also whoever asked about changing the names of your hard drive device nodes in /dev/ | 13:15 |
| soundray | hammad: please /join #ubuntu-de -- I'll try and help you ther | 13:15 |
| henninge | Toznoshio, instead of converting to 0s and 1s, as you had intended, it is easier to work with powers of 2 and divide/multiply for shifting. | 13:16 |
| ||bass | that's not something normally done | 13:16 |
| extremus | so gueuss what i wanna do? | 13:16 |
| extremus | erase windoze and make ubuntu /dev/sda1 .... | 13:16 |

| legend2440 | Rixon-: is this similar to your problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803741 | 13:16 |
| extremus | YAY!!! but how do i go about it? | 13:16 |
| hammad | Soundray: Ok i will but i can only help german peoples :S im german so but thx for it ill come back ;) | 13:16 |
| henninge | Toznoshio, that would be the more sophisticated approach ... | 13:16 |
| ||bass | extremus, i know what you are doing will make things LOOK neat and tidy | 13:16 |
| ||bass | but it is a monumentally bad idea | 13:17 |
| extremus | yeah | 13:17 |
| extremus | thats what i am afraid of | 13:17 |
| soundray | extremus: it's better to format your /dev/sda1 with ext3 and use it as, for example, /home | 13:17 |
| extremus | i don;t believe this can;t be done | 13:17 |
| ||bass | it can be | 13:17 |

| ||bass | but you will screw up your system | 13:17 |
| soundray | extremus: it can be done, but it's a pain | 13:17 |
| ||bass | unless you do it EXACTLY perfect | 13:17 |

| === fabian__ is now known as Fabz0r | ||
| Rixon- | legend2440: yeah i see it, thanks | 13:18 |
| soundray | extremus: you need to replicate your /dev/sda2 in /dev/sda1, remove /dev/sda2, then resize /dev/sda1 to occupy the space of both | 13:18 |
| extremus | ok | 13:18 |
| soundray | extremus: lengthy and risky, and absolutely necessary to have a backup | 13:19 |
| ||bass | yes | 13:19 |
| ||bass | backups | 13:19 |
| ||bass | lots of backups | 13:19 |
| ||bass | and you shouldn't do that from the system itself | 13:19 |
| ||bass | boot off a livecd to do that | 13:19 |
| FloodBot1 | ||bass: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:19 |
| extremus | yeah, cause the last time i tried it on my friends machine something went wrong big time | 13:19 |
| extremus | luckily i had an image of his system | 13:19 |
| soundray | extremus: and now you've lost a friend ;) | 13:19 |
| soundray | extremus: oh, the miracles of backup | 13:20 |
| extremus | no i haven't | 13:20 |
| ||bass | never EVER EVER even think about thinking about doing that on an actually mounted partition | 13:20 |
| ||bass | seriously | 13:20 |
| soundray | :D | 13:20 |
| ||bass | it will go horribly wrong | 13:20 |
| extremus | this sounds like a risky operation | 13:20 |
| hammad | soundray: im back so the drivers now active :D | 13:20 |
| ||bass | messing with partitions is always risky | 13:20 |
| extremus | yeah i like to try new and risky things | 13:20 |
| soundray | hammad: good. Do you still want to chat in German with me? | 13:21 |
| mnemo | any system that requires a reboot to make a backup is fundamentally flawed imo because then people for sure won't do backups | 13:21 |
| hammad | Soundray: wenn du willst :D | 13:21 |
| soundray | hammad: /join #ubuntu-de | 13:21 |
| AaronH | frojnd, for searching in nano you do [Ctrl]+W | 13:21 |
| ||bass | btw, has anyone heard about this problem of ubuntu not remembering wpa2 settings? | 13:21 |
| extremus | what happens if i erase /dev/sda1 and resize the ubuntu /dev/sda2 partition and make it the main partion, then rename the disk label to /dev/sda2? | 13:22 |

| ninjabuntu | [ tar -xzzf rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz ] is that what I type? | 13:24 |
| soundray | extremus: for imaging: partimage | 13:24 |
| Pici | ninjabuntu: tar xzvf rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz | 13:25 |
| ninjabuntu | to unpack a tar.gz? | 13:25 |
| extremus | and how do i defragment an ext3 volume? | 13:25 |
| extremus | i have big time fragmentation issues | 13:25 |
| extremus | cause my free disk space is only 3% | 13:25 |
| Pici | !defrag | extremus | 13:25 |
| ubottu | extremus: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 13:25 |
| extremus | kthx ubottu | 13:26 |
| ||bass | don't use defrag | 13:26 |
| ||bass | it messes up the fs | 13:26 |
| extremus | ? | 13:26 |
| extremus | i was about to use it | 13:26 |
| ||bass | ext3 shouldn't have fragmentation issues to begin with | 13:26 |
| Panik | hey guys | 13:26 |
| ||bass | if you only have 3% free space, that is a larger problem in itself | 13:26 |
| AaronH | defrag is not necessary for ext3 | 13:27 |
| Panik | I have a ubuntu (latest) computer but everytime I seem to leave it it goes into hibrnate but it doesnt come out of it | 13:27 |
| extremus | !universe defrag | 13:27 |
| Panik | even the irc client I had running disconnected | 13:27 |
| ubottu | Factoid universe defrag not found | 13:27 |
| Panik | and now theres a black screen, mouse and everything is on but it wont come outta the black state | 13:27 |
| Pici | extremus: Fragmentation and diskspace are not one in the same. | 13:28 |
| extremus | but my ubuntu needs some optisation | 13:28 |
| extremus | optimization | 13:28 |
| legend2440 | soundray: maybe you know this. i have a partimage image of my hardy partition which is on a 80 gig Western Digital . if i wanted to restore that image to a 160 gig seagate would that work. and then how would i get the Seagate to be boot drive?

| bid1 | hi all! | 13:34 |
| tj83 | Panik... seems to me powermanagement has a ways to come still in ubuntu... on my toshiba sleep worked to begin with.. but after updates does not.. however i can disable it on my toshiba. | 13:34 |
| soundray | legend2440: then you should look in your BIOS setup whether you can change the SATA/IDE boot priority | 13:34 |
| legend2440 | soundray: yes i can | 13:35 |
| Panik | same tj83 | 13:35 |
| Panik | exactly the same | 13:35 |
| Panik | cuz sleep doesnt work on my shitty computer | 13:35 |

| soundray | Kano: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 13:36 |
| tj83 | Panik... sleep doesnt work on either of my comps both new. But its weird cuase it worked fine in debian on old kernel. | 13:36 |

| paolob | Hi guys! the ubuntu cd comes with many locales installed, but I want to keep only one (en_US). How do I "uninstall" them? | 13:37 |

| extremus | soundray, when is the hard limit of the 4 primary standard partitions in the standard MSDOS volume label gonna be removed/recoded? | 13:37 |
| ||bass | extremus: that really isn't a hard limit and is also not really a problem | 13:38 |
| soundray | extremus: never | 13:38 |
| bid1 | Which service does control the auto-mounting of usb-drives ?? | 13:38 |
| tj83 | yep.. same experience with my toshiba. i think they messed up more than they fixed with 17 and 18... lost wifi on both too untill i found a manual fix. | 13:38 |
| ||bass | they have logical partitions for this | 13:38 |
| ||bass | so the easy answer is "it will never change" | 13:38 |
| extremus | y? | 13:38 |
| ||bass | because everything supports logical parititons | 13:38 |
| extremus | hmm, i will google that | 13:39 |
| soundray | legend2440: you'd have to make sure your new root partition is mounted on / -- so yes | 13:39 |
| Kano | soundray: i implied used sudo -i before, but X is still running, i have to use killall -9 Xorg, which is stupid | 13:39 |

| ren_ | Hi, in new to Xubuntu (and any other linux) and I have a question: what is 'make' and how should I use it? | 13:41 |
| soundray | Kano: did you start X with gdm originally? | 13:41 |
| wer123 | ren_: probably u should not | 13:41 |
| Rosen | Hey guys | 13:41 |
| Kano | soundray: well i used the live cd | 13:41 |
| ||bass | unless you're compiling software you've downloaded the source for | 13:41 |
| Kano | doesnt it use gdm? | 13:41 |
| ||bass | you will not usually find yourself using make | 13:41 |
| prodigy | ren_: make is used to compile programs like this: ./configure && make && make install | 13:42 |
| Rosen | howcome my ubuntu wont let me run sudo sh with *.run files? .... I've tried to use the chmod thingy but with no luck .... I'm a bit of a copy/paste nub to be honest :) | 13:42 |
| jrib | ren_: make helps you compile things from source. But compiling things from source is a hassle. So ubuntu has APT which makes it a lot easier to install things. You should always try to use APT first to install something. Do you know about APT? | 13:42 |
| prodigy | ren_: it just installs aplications | 13:42 |
| wer123 | make -j4 in case u own a kick-ass machine :) | 13:42 |
| ^FuSioN | hello | 13:42 |
| jrib | Rosen: what are you installing? | 13:42 |
| ren_ | it seems that everything im downloading (that is not from the synaptic) needs make... | 13:43 |
| soundray | Kano: you want a console-only system from live CD? Try F6 at boot and add 'single' to the kernel options | 13:43 |
| Rosen | well I have tried with the q3pack and now also with enemy territory .... it's a pain because I'm at a LAN party ;) | 13:43 |
| wer123 | ren_: if u dl source code, yeah | 13:43 |

| petom0 | i have an issue booting ubuntu off of my USB drive | 14:10 |
| Xpistos | here is an interesting dilema. I added a new file server. I gave it a samba password and a share but when I try to connect to it it won't accept the password. any suggestions? | 14:10 |
| frostburn | Xpistos, are you on AD? | 14:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | petom0 How did you install it on there... | 14:11 |

| petom0 | i followed steps on a website, to make my USB drive bootable, but when I try and boot it I get an error | 14:11 |
| gooody | Jack_Sparrow: actually i am now planning to shift to 32bit hardy but still searching for ways to do it. any suggestions? | 14:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gooody fresh install, this time create a seperate /home partition | 14:12 |
| frostburn | gooody, back up /home/ and new install | 14:12 |
| joaopinto | gooody, have you installed the ia32-libs before trying the app ? | 14:12 |
| whattheben | soundray: done that | 14:12 |
| petom0 | heres the site: http://www.teamteabag.com/2008/05/17/howto-easy-install-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-or-most-other-distros-from-usb/ | 14:12 |
| frostburn | petom0, what's the error? | 14:12 |
| XLV | Xpistos, create a user in the file server, add it to smb passwd with smbpasswd -a, use that user to connect to that samba share | 14:12 |
| soundray | whattheben: 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install amsn' | 14:12 |
| gooody | joaopinto: i installed getlibs. | 14:12 |

| erUSUL | Kartagis: sorry for the spanish ;P | 14:15 |

| * soundray feels sorry for the Spanish, too | 14:16 | |
| Kartagis | erUSUL: but shouldn't sudo care about permissions? | 14:16 |
| joaopinto | Kartagis, your sudo binary is lacking the setuid bit | 14:16 |
| Xpistos | XLV: Windows is asking me for the same information | 14:16 |

| soundray | whattheben: other network apps work fine? | 14:17 |
| Kartagis | but not for group? | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | that is very strange | 14:18 |
| gooody | joaopinto: it runs but when i try to create an account an error appears. | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | user setuid should be enough | 14:18 |
| whattheben | soundray: as in? | 14:18 |
| soundray | whattheben: firefox? | 14:18 |
| Signil | jrib: purge everything.. php apache mysql ? | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | gooody, are you sure is it 64bits related ? | 14:18 |
| jrib | Signil: no, purge the package the wiki says to | 14:18 |
| whattheben | soundray: yep, fine | 14:18 |
| jrib | Signil: and poke me if it doesn't say it anymore | 14:19 |

| soundray | whattheben: after that, pastebin the 'sudo apt-get update' output again, pls | 14:20 |
| gooody | joaopinto: i guess it is not a 64bit related problem. it is the software itself. i read the gizmo forums but can't find any solution. | 14:20 |
| jrib | Signil: should be under troubleshooting php5 section | 14:20 |
| Kartagis | joaopinto: can't I do group setuid chmod'ing here, without going into recovery mode? | 14:21 |
| gooody | joaopinto: i'm planning to remove it but can't find the package. | 14:21 |
| whattheben | soundray: how long should it take to reload? | 14:21 |
| soundray | whattheben: a minute or two, if you're on a fast connection | 14:21 |

| skyhawk | !reiserfs | 14:23 |
| ubottu | reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 14:23 |
| skyhawk | !jfs | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Factoid jfs not found | 14:23 |
| skyhawk | !ext3 | 14:23 |
| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 14:23 |
| amenado | skyhawk however it is good to fsck a filesystem once in a while if this filesystem is not normally an entry on your /etc/fstab | 14:23 |

| Tonren | natalisushka: soundray got it. do a "man wc" for instructions. | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 it will work fine and is reversible should you make a mistake | 14:41 |
| Tonren | erUSUL: Ooohh. No X. I was thinking "nox" as in "noxious". Your way makes much more sense. | 14:41 |

| Filled-Void | Could someone point me to the kernel upgrade how to on ubuntuforums . Ive been searching for it but I cant seem to find it . If I recall correctly it was on this forum that I saw the how to | 14:42 |
| Gemmie78 | So I have a # above the 3 and that would signify I have a US keyboard | 14:42 |
| Gemmie78 | right? | 14:42 |

| Xpistos | XLV: I checked my smb.conf file and for some reason, my username was not listed. It has some anthony pras username instead. i don't know what that was, but I fixed that and forgot to edit the browseable and writeable section | 14:42 |

| Gemmie78 | Thus I must use a US setting for the keyboard | 14:42 |
| Gemmie78 | correct? | 14:42 |
| Filled-Void | soundray, thank you | 14:42 |
| soundray | Filled-Void: but I don't recommend it | 14:42 |
| soundray | Filled-Void: why do you want to upgrade the kernel? | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 Us keyboard has # above 3 yes | 14:43 |
| Filled-Void | soundray, Its not for me actually :x so I wouldnt know. | 14:43 |
| zvacet | Filled-Void : kernel upgrade to do next release is that what you have in mind | 14:43 |

| Gemmie78 | I have UK showing for my keyboard | 14:44 |
| Gemmie78 | Not US | 14:44 |
| natalisushka | Tonren: This counts words and lines and chars in general. Is it possible to give it a certain word to search and count? | 14:44 |
| Gemmie78 | Probably a good idea to switch it? | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | !hi | sedra | 14:44 |
| ubottu | sedra: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:44 |
| Gemmie78 | I wonder what a UK keyboard has | 14:44 |

| Karotte | I'm having a little bit difficulties with seahorse and gnome-terminal. I activated gpg password caching in seahorse, and whenever I'm working in gnome-terminal and use gpg, seahorse tries to ask for my password. but the password popup is *behind* the gnome-terminal. so I have to click on it in the taskbar every time.. does anyone know how to change that? | 14:44 |
| Tonren | natalisushka: Sounds like a job for grep. | 14:45 |

| Karotte | so that the password popup gets focus in front of gnome-terminal | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 Key position on the board is the main difference | 14:45 |
| Filled-Void | zvacet, thanks | 14:45 |

| |Zippo| | somebody uses a windows mobile smartphone syncing with ubuntu? | 14:46 |
| Gemmie78 | £ | 14:46 |
| Gemmie78 | oh | 14:46 |
| Gemmie78 | Why didn't I think of that before -_- | 14:46 |
| natalisushka | Tonren: tried "wc -w file/path | grep word" didn't work | 14:46 |
| Gemmie78 | Is there a way to recommend you both for an award | 14:46 |
| Gemmie78 | Sparrow and Sound tray? | 14:46 |
| Tonren | natalisushka: You'll want to "cat" the file into grep. cat will just spit the file into STDOUT, and piping it into grep will read it in that way. | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 Not necessary, just glad to have you here | 14:46 |
| scunizi | pal_, mount is used make the system recognize a drive or device or file so you can use/read it. | 14:46 |
| Tonren | natalisushka: So cat file/path | grep -c word | 14:46 |
| soundray | Gemmie78: speaking for myself, I'll be sufficiently honoured if you spell my nick correctly ;) | 14:47 |
| Rosen | Say I have a iso, img or toc file ... is there some clever way to mount the images without using software? ... I mean a command that basically does the same as daemon tool in windows :) I'm using Hardy btw | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 14:47 |
| Gemmie78 | Soundtray :) | 14:47 |
| Gemmie78 | oh | 14:47 |
| Tonren | natalisushka: That will work, except grep -c counts how many *lines* match. So if the word shows up more than once a line, it will only count it once. | 14:47 |
| Gemmie78 | Soundray :) | 14:47 |

| natalisushka | Tonren: I am counting the number of functions in big php files. SO that's fine. I'll try, thanks :) | 14:48 |
| scunizi | Rosen, you can mount an iso image and run it like it was on a cd.. toc files I don't know. see man mount | 14:48 |

| Gemmie78 | the updates tab | 15:05 |

| Gemmie78 | enable everything except proposed | 15:05 |
| led | if i install dd-wrt on my router and something happens can i restore the router back to default with no problems | 15:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 from terminal... gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:05 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 yes it explains why you didnt find what I was having you look for | 15:06 |
| Orfeous | are there any ways to uninstall alsa? and then download and compile it manually myself? | 15:06 |
| Gemmie78 | Sorry about that | 15:06 |
| Frogzoo | led: if you mess it properly, you can turn the thing into a brick | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Orfeous yes /join #alsa | 15:06 |
| moDumass | so when im in the menu (try without installing, install, other options) i press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line | 15:06 |

| Gemmie78 | I typed "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 15:07 |

| jcaspe | ASULutzy: Im using it for school projects... Thanks then...:) | 15:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Orfeous did you run the alsa diagnostic script? | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | Orfeous: alsa drivers come on the kernel package | 15:08 |
| ASULutzy | jcaspe: If you're just doing some basic non-enterprise c# programming, then Mono should work fine | 15:08 |

| Gemmie78 | sources.list to be exact | 15:09 |

| Soopa | and then just sits there | 15:09 |
| jcaspe | ASULutzy: But can i import my old c# projects to mono? | 15:09 |

| zvacet | !paste | 15:10 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 right.. add ## in front of the line for your cd if it is there in feisty, remove the ## in front of the others.. except proposed | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 We use the pastebin for lardge blocks of text | 15:10 |

| mnemo | jcaspe: mono is the runtime and framework (just like .NET/CLR on windows).... visual studio is the IDE, and when using mono there is several IDE's you can use, for instance one IDE for C# in Linux is "MonoDeveloper".. it's similar to visual studio in many ways... (and yes, MonoDevelop can open your visual studio .csproj files directly) | 15:11 |

| polishpaul | mangojambo: the only recent change i can think of is upgrading to 8.04 | 15:37 |
| shelbyscates | i have my new ubuntu desktop, and i want to configure some custom keyboard shortcuts, im using the tutorial at howtogeek and it explains on how to use gconf-editor to make custom keyboard commands, and for example, i wrote a simple script to stop ssh: "#!/bin/bash sudo e/tc/init.d/ssh stop" but when i configure it to say, run the script upon F1 it usually comes up and says it cant find the script, or dosent do anything at al | 15:37 |
| ferronica | how do i share USB printer connected to ubuntu 8.04 (computer) with other system (Xp pro installed) | 15:37 |
| GigaClon | 32-bit or 64-bit, no mention of live vs alternate | 15:37 |
| langleyo | joaopinto: its showing no conflicts...thats what gets me .. | 15:38 |
| joaopinto | ok, i am out of ideas | 15:38 |
| darth | ferronica, very carefully | 15:38 |
| polishpaul | shelbyscates: you have a typo in the path?? | 15:38 |
| ScarEye | Guys I am following this inscrutions. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide and where it says "Finishing the Install: Configuration" It wants me to add lines but when I do aticonfig --initial -f it does not like this [...] | 15:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | GigaClon they do offer alternate.. but the answer is no, you cant use that to upgrade to hardy | 15:38 |
| langleyo | joaopinto: thanks anyway | 15:38 |
| shelbyscates | i do?! | 15:38 |
| ferronica | darth: why? | 15:38 |
| polishpaul | e/tc | 15:38 |
| darth | ;) | 15:38 |
| darth | j/k | 15:38 |
| ScarEye | any ideas ? | 15:38 |
| darth | ferronica, look into samba | 15:38 |
| magnetron | shelbyscates: you can't put "sudo" inside a shell script that's going to be invoked graphically | 15:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Back to lurking while I try to work... | 15:39 |
| darth | its windows sharing for linux | 15:39 |
| tj83 | Jack_sparrow... I am here at work.. take your time.. but when things slow down let me know your thought on noapic and nolapic here is lspci info if it helps. http://www.debian.pastebin.com/m355d8ee2 | 15:39 |
| visik7 | magnetron: yes he can, gksu | 15:39 |
| shelbyscates | oh, haha, i had no idea | 15:39 |
| shelbyscates | so if i take the sudo out it will work? | 15:39 |
| darth | ferronica, samba and cups | 15:39 |
| polishpaul | mangojambo: should i reinstall the nvidia drivers you think? | 15:39 |
| magnetron | visik7: yes, gksu is fine, but sudo isn't | 15:39 |
| shelbyscates | sorry, im just a little ol' n00b :) | 15:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tj83 Yes it will effect your performance.. advanced programmable controllers speed things up.. | 15:39 |
| nibsa1242b | ferronica: good luck with samba, it'll let you do what you want to do. It'll probably take you a few hours to set everything up right. | 15:39 |
| * shelbyscates tries it | 15:39 | |
| magnetron | shelbyscates: you need to add a gksudo in there | 15:39 |
| savvas | Anyone uses gnome screenlets? What does it do when I check the "treat as widget" option? | 15:39 |
| shelbyscates | oh ok | 15:39 |
| shelbyscates | would i just add "gksudo" instead of sudo? | 15:40 |
| mangojambo | polishpaul: try it ... | 15:40 |
| ktheory | Is there an option for apt-get to *not* start the services that are being installed. E.g., is there a way to run 'apt-get apache2' that installs apache, but doesn't start the apache daemon? | 15:40 |
| nibsa1242b | What log file(s) would information about boot up be stored in? My computer failed to resume from hibernation after the recent kernel upgrade, and I'm trying to figure out why. | 15:40 |

| ingo_ | i can't configure direct rendering for a macbook 1st gen. under hardy - who can help? | 16:11 |
| Kloiahack^wx | Thang you, Mr.J. I'll try again now. | 16:11 |
| jjthemagicman | hi, I'm having a problem with Java appellates | 16:11 |
| kanpachi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17595/ <--- sudo fdisk l | 16:11 |
| mnemo | inho_: if you run "glxinfo | grep -i direct" is prints "direct rendering: no" ? | 16:11 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: Where are you running the applets from? | 16:12 |
| ASULutzy | kanpachi: FAT16 only? You don't have a linux partition? | 16:12 |
| jjthemagicman | From firefox | 16:12 |
| jjthemagicman | I have Java 6 installed | 16:12 |
| kanpachi | it's a disk on key | 16:12 |
| gnuskool | Jack_Sparrow: good stuff, i'll add that to the forum thread too | 16:12 |
| ingo_ | mnemo: yes - thats the problem. i really don't know how to setup the 3d xserver | 16:13 |
| kanpachi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17596/ <-- full output | 16:13 |
| boogz | hey im trying to compile wpa_supplicant and when i run make i get error: ‘struct tls_connection’ has no member named ‘ssl’ | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gnuskool I made one change.. one sec | 16:13 |
| ASULutzy | kanpachi: ok that makes more sense. | 16:13 |
| mnemo | ingo_: what does "dmesg | grep agp" say? | 16:13 |
| amen51 | thanks all of you Pici, ioapinto, mnemo, Creeture: have you heard of "chvt" command, it is for changing virtual terminal, e.g. "chvt 1" switches to /dev/tty1, the problem is that I get the error "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console" | 16:13 |
| ASULutzy | kanpachi: Just do this, sudo mkdir /media/key then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/key | 16:13 |
| kanpachi | thanx | 16:13 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: What version of java does http://www.javatester.org/version.html report? | 16:14 |

| kanpachi | i thought it should be automatic? | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gnuskool http://paste.ubuntu.com/17597/ | 16:14 |
| mnemo | ingo_: that's a good start... now what does "dmesg | grep drm" say ? | 16:14 |
| ASULutzy | kanpachi: Yea, usually it is, dunno why it's not mounting automatically now | 16:14 |
| kanpachi | how do i unmount? | 16:15 |
| ASULutzy | sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 16:15 |
| gnuskool | Jack_Sparrow: cheers | 16:15 |
| DASPRiD | sudo umount /my/mounted/drive | 16:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | gnuskool bbl | 16:15 |
| dariorsl | hi | 16:15 |
| ASULutzy | Or more generally what DASPRiD said | 16:15 |
| polishpaul | i have some shares setup on my windows 2003 server, i can see it listed in the microsoft network, but i can't connect to the shares? Doesn't ubuntu have NTFS support by default? (8.04) | 16:15 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: Can you link me to an applet that isn't working for you? | 16:16 |
| ingo_ | mnemo: i think it is just the xorg.conf, that i can't handle | 16:16 |
| roland_ | Hi! | 16:16 |
| kanpachi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17600/ <-- that's my output when a dvd is inserted | 16:16 |
| DarkAudit | My printer *and* scanner work directly after a full install? who are you and what have you done to my Linux? :) | 16:16 |
| joaopinto | polishpaul, shares have noething to do with ntfs, you need samba to access to windows shares | 16:16 |
| mnemo | ingo_: so in terms of kernel modules you're good to go... let's check your xserver config... what does "grep -i 'Direct rendering' /var/log/Xorg.0.log" say? | 16:16 |
| jjthemagicman | Pici, the first one that I tried was at :http://www.hellboundhackers.org/IRC/pjirc.php | 16:16 |
| roland_ | I just found out that only 8 characters of a password are significant. The rest is ignored. | 16:16 |
| polishpaul | joaopinto: i have samba installed | 16:17 |
| ingo_ | grep -i 'Direct rendering' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:17 |
| ingo_ | (II) intel(0): direct rendering: Enabled | 16:17 |
| roland_ | My root password is 0123456789, but 01234567 works as well. | 16:17 |
| ingo_ | ups | 16:17 |
| roland_ | How can I set this limit higher? | 16:17 |
| ASULutzy | roland_: huh? | 16:17 |
| amen51 | joaopinto, mnemo, Creeture, Pici: Have any of you worked with "chvt" command before? | 16:17 |
| cara | Hi all | 16:17 |
| roland_ | I just found out that only 8 characters of a password are significant. The rest is ignored. | 16:17 |
| DarkAudit | roland_: I jhave the same password on my luggage :) | 16:17 |
| jjthemagicman | hi | 16:17 |
| cara | I'm new to ubuntu | 16:17 |
| [GSF]Martin | I just ran a pogram full screen that changed my screen res, how do i turn it back please? :) | 16:17 |
| LinuxApe | anyone know when the latest version of eclipse might make it into the repositories? | 16:17 |
| cyfer | Hi, i seem to be having problem with my wireless network after upgrading to Ubuntu 8. When downloading torrents it will periodically disconnect and then connect again which is really annoying.. I've been searching the internet and it seems to be a known problem but i have not been able to find a solution yet... I've got a IBM T42 labtop with Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B network... Has anyone heard of this issue and might know a solution or a page with a s | 16:17 |
| ASULutzy | roland_: Are you sure you're not thinking of LM Hash? | 16:18 |
| Pici | amen51: I have not. | 16:18 |
| cara | I have a quick question, where is libtoolize located? I mean what package is it in? | 16:18 |
| joaopinto | amen51, not me | 16:18 |
| polishpaul | i have samba running but can't see my windows shares? | 16:18 |
| * cara isn't new to linux but to ubuntu :) | 16:18 | |
| mnemo | ingo_: if you run "grep -i '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log" do you see anything that says "error disabling DRI" or so? | 16:18 |
| ingo_ | mnemo: it says, that dri is enabled, but i can't use a desktop-cube under compiz for instance | 16:18 |
| cara | polishpaul: you may have to mount them? | 16:18 |
| roland_ | ASULutzy: well, maybe. I suppose it is a pam option for the pam_unix.so module. | 16:18 |
| moon | realoneplayer on ubuntu | 16:18 |
| amen51 | joaopinto, mnemo, Creeture, Pici: is there another way to change virtual terminal from the command line, i.e. other that Ctrl+Alt+FN | 16:18 |
| * DarkAudit has returned to Ubunto after a 2yr absence | 16:18 | |
| ingo_ | grep -i '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:19 |
| ingo_ | (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown | 16:19 |
| cara | well... I uses suse at work, kind of have too | 16:19 |
| joaopinto | amen51, erm, what are you trying to achieve ? | 16:19 |
| ASULutzy | roland_: On my machine if I try to short my sudo password by a character it doesn't accept it | 16:19 |
| roland_ | ASULutzy: but how can I use longer passwords that are not silently truncated? | 16:19 |
| JuJuBee | How do I search for and move any file in /home/* that contains "AB_CD_EF"... or any specific string of text in the file name ? | 16:19 |
| === Anorak_NO4 is now known as twolife_no4 | ||
| roland_ | ASULutzy: is it longer that 8 characters? | 16:20 |
| mnemo | ingo_: okay so your kernel side config seems fine.... now try "glxinfo | head" and tell me does the very first few lines say "libGL: open DRM failed" or something like that? | 16:20 |
| joaopinto | JuJuBee, find path -name "*name*" -exec mv {} dest_path \; | 16:20 |
| amen51 | joaopinto: there is a script that wants to change the virtual terminal (it may not be that important), it uses chvt, but i does not work | 16:20 |
| Markooki | magnetron: is it simply a matter of removing xserver-xgl package, and not installing anything else, can't find good info on aiglx, it seems to been merged completely with Xorg, atleast there is aiglx no packages | 16:20 |
| JuJuBee | Thanks | 16:20 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: It may just be that applet which wont work for you. FYI, that applet connects to Freenode, which is the IRC network you are already on now.. here. | 16:20 |
| joaopinto | amen51, if is is not important, just comment it :P | 16:21 |
| ASULutzy | roland_: yes | 16:21 |
| ingo_ | glxinfo | head | 16:21 |
| ingo_ | name of display: :2.0 | 16:21 |
| ingo_ | display: :2 screen: 0 | 16:21 |
| ingo_ | direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 16:21 |
| ingo_ | server glx vendor string: SGI | 16:21 |
| FloodBot1 | ingo_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:21 |
| ingo_ | server glx version string: 1.2 | 16:21 |
| ASULutzy | My password is 11 characters long | 16:21 |
| magnetron | Markooki: that's correct, aiglx is a part of your existing drivers. i don't know how to properly uninstall XGL | 16:21 |
| mnemo | ingo_: hmm, okay try first running "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose" and then re-run the "glxinfo | head" command and tell me if it looks different | 16:21 |
| polishpaul | cara: how would i go about doing that? | 16:21 |
| roland_ | ASULutzy: aha. If _I_ sudo, it _does_ accept my password if I truncate it to 8 chars (but not lower). So: how come? | 16:21 |
| amen51 | joaopinto: i know, just was wondering if there is a way. The script is to suspend form the command line, here it is if you want to look at it thttp://www.linux.com/feature/114220 | 16:21 |
| jjthemagicman | Pici, this one doesn't work either: http://www.fangengine.org/index.php/examples/moveongrid/MoveOnGrid | 16:21 |
| amen51 | joaopinto: sorry, http://www.linux.com/feature/114220 | 16:22 |
| Markooki | magnetron: thanks for all | 16:22 |
| roland_ | ASULutzy: can you tell me what is in you /etc/pam.d/common-passwd file? | 16:22 |
| magnetron | Markooki: good luck | 16:22 |
| ingo_ | mnemo: no, it is the same message | 16:22 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: Are you getting an error? | 16:22 |
| Markooki | magnetron: i need it.. ;-) | 16:23 |
| [GSF]Martin | I just ran a program full screen that changed my screen res, how do i turn it back please? :) | 16:23 |
| cara | polishpaul: from the command line or the desktop with nautulis ? | 16:23 |
| jjthemagicman | not on that site, it just says appellate started, but it never loads up | 16:23 |
| ASULutzy | roland_: one sec | 16:23 |
| mnemo | ingo_: okay sorry then i'm out of ideas... try looking at trouble shooting steps at the DRI website --> http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting | 16:24 |
| Bodsda | [GSF]Martin, System--> Preferences--> Screen resolution | 16:24 |
| cara | command line: # mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,workgroup=<workgroup> //server/share /mountpoint | 16:24 |
| polishpaul | cara: i guess my question should be rephrased - how would i do it if i can't see anything on that server? | 16:24 |
| cara | from the desktop just open nautulis and click on connect to server. | 16:24 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: hmm | 16:24 |
| cara | polishpaul: can you see the server itself? | 16:24 |
| jjthemagicman | Pici, It works now, thanks for your help. I went into the add/remove programs and found out that I had icebox java on as well and I turned that off and it works now | 16:24 |
| [GSF]Martin | Bodsda, my x res is too short and i can't see the panel ^^, i dont really want to remove a bunch of my icons.... i know i'll make a new panel | 16:24 |
| polishpaul | cara: yes | 16:24 |
| Pici | jjthemagicman: ah, good | 16:24 |
| polishpaul | wait, i see connect ot serer... | 16:25 |
| Bodsda | [GSF]Martin, youll have to right click on the new panel and select'add to panel'then add the 'main menu' | 16:25 |
| ASULutzy | roland_: I don't have an /etc/pam.d/common-passwd though I do have /etc/pam.d/common-password, which contains http://paste.ubuntu.com/17605/ | 16:25 |
| todoski | hi friends | 16:25 |
| Creeture | amen51: I forgot what we were doing. Why do you need chvt? FYI, it works fine if you're already on one of the other vtys, just not from X. | 16:25 |
| ingo_ | <mnemo>: ok, thanks a lot - i will try your link | 16:26 |
| mnemo | ingo_: one thing though... if you do "ldd `which glxinfo` | grep libGL" which library is it pointing to? | 16:26 |
| Creeture | amen51: paste your script (http://paste.ubuntu.com) if you want. Might be some junk we can take out. | 16:26 |
| todoski | everytime I try to download ubuntu the iso file is corrupted and I never get the right md5 | 16:26 |
| todoski | what can I do? | 16:26 |
| gnnarin | somebody know foxit reader x linux? | 16:26 |
| todoski | i downloaded it from ubuntu site and also through torrent file | 16:27 |
| joaopinto | todoski, use a different mirror | 16:27 |
| cara | polishpaul: so what happened? | 16:27 |
| Bodsda | todoski, although your md5's are wrongdid you try and use them anyway? | 16:27 |
| roland_ | ASULutzy: how weird. The line that matters, about pam_unix.so, is the same as mine. | 16:28 |
| polishpaul | cara: ok, i'm able to navigate via nautilus to the server by typing in the share name | 16:28 |
| amen51 | Creeture: thanks, you're right "chvt" works from other terminals not from X. The script is here http://www.linux.com/feature/114220 | 16:28 |
| amen51 | Creeture, chvt is probably not the problem, it has other serious issues | 16:29 |
| polishpaul | is it possible to see the available shares on a windows server? as in, list them? | 16:29 |
| gnnarin | well ... nobody can help me? | 16:29 |
| amen51 | Creeture, I'm trying to find a nice way to suspend from the command-line | 16:29 |
| ingo_ | mnemo: libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7f29000) | 16:29 |
| Bodsda | can i use the notification area to display a welcome message? what command is used to call it? | 16:30 |
| uubu | hello | 16:30 |
| Bodsda | hi | 16:30 |
| uubu | has any of you guys made it to compile and lpfc driver in ubuntu >? | 16:30 |
| amen51 | Creeture, do you know a nice way to suspend from the command-line | 16:30 |
| jrib | Bodsda: you can use notify-send in a shell. There are libnotify bindings in many languages if you prefer | 16:31 |
| Creeture | amen51: Yeah. There's an acpi command for it. | 16:31 |
| mnemo | ingo_: i think that's correct actually (not 100% sure though) | 16:31 |
| Bodsda | jrib, cool,.,.il take a look at the man page,.,. cheers dude | 16:31 |
| Creeture | amen51: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html | 16:31 |

| SnakeArt | how to install 32bit drivers on 64bit hardy? | 16:36 |
| Pici | amen51: Each part of the io redierction feature of the shell needs to be done with sudo privleges. IE: it treats things after the > as a separate command. you'll need to do: echo "something" | sudo tee somewhere | 16:36 |
| FruitPastel | Like today | 16:36 |
| jrib | FruitPastel: help.ubuntu.com | 16:36 |
| Bodsda | FruitPastel, i can give you 1on1 help with commands and general gettin used to things ifyou want or youcanaskspecific questions ;~) | 16:36 |

| TuxOtaku | oh and FruitPastel, most importantly, don't be afraid to break something....it will happen, I guarantee you it will, BUT, there is almost always a way to fix it without resorting to a full reinstall | 16:40 |
| amen51 | Creeture, Bodsda, Pici: thanks guy, very informative suggestions. It works now. Just one minor quirk left. I lose my X session (e.g. using fluxbox as the windows manager) after wake-up. | 16:40 |

| shelbyscates | hey guys im having trouble getting my custom keyboard layout commands to work in wmii could anyone help me? | 16:41 |
| Creeture | cara: What kinds of libraries? Like .so shared libraries? Where'd you install them? try running sudo ldconfig -v | 16:41 |
| jrib | TuxOtaku: or just do crazy things in a virtual machine so you don't have to worry about things breaking | 16:41 |
| cara | Creeture: they're in /usr/local | 16:41 |
| TuxOtaku | jrib, virtualization FTW | 16:41 |

| shelbyscates | i set F1 and F2 to run scripts and it works fine in gnome, but not in wmii, and since wmii is my primary gui, how do i make it work? | 16:42 |
| diefordethklok | I don't think you can snakeart | 16:43 |
| Creeture | cara: If they're in /usr/local/lib, ldconfig -v | less should show them and configure the dynamic linker to know where they are. | 16:43 |

| jrib | idimmu: edgy is no longer supported. You need to upgrade to ensure you receive security updates. In any case, there is old-releases.ubuntu.com | 16:45 |
| Bodsda | Creeture, was just thinkin that myself ;~) | 16:45 |
| stu | is there a way to make a wine application save to a mounted partition? as flat file? | 16:45 |
| jrib | !upgrade > idimmu (read the private message from ubottu) | 16:45 |
| idimmu | we're trying to do the upgrade atm | 16:45 |
| Frogzoo__ | diefordethklok: it might be backports I spose | 16:45 |
| idimmu | ta | 16:45 |
| Thebest | hola | 16:45 |
| diefordethklok | As in, system updates, program package updates, the update size may depend on which repositories you have enabled. I really can't give you an answer | 16:45 |
| FruitPastel | Haha nice, thanks | 16:45 |
| Bodsda | stu, you can move the files -- and you can run installed programs on your windows disk with wine | 16:46 |
| doviende | how do i make my applications stop fighting over the sound card? if i do something in firefox that requires sound, then audacious won't play afterwards. | 16:46 |
| Creeture | stu: Sure. Just set your WINEPREFIX variable. | 16:46 |
| stu | so Creeture can I have c:\downloads in wine by /media/sda4 for example ? | 16:46 |
| stu | by = be | 16:46 |
| FruitPastel | sudo is to let the terminal your the administrator is it not? | 16:46 |
| stu | Bodsda, I dont want to be moving gigs of files accross partitions | 16:46 |
| FruitPastel | terminal know | 16:46 |
| idimmu | jrib: Be sure that you have all updates applied to Ubuntu 6.10 before you upgrade | 16:47 |
| Creeture | stu: that's even easier. Just run winecfg, go to the Drives tab, and map it. | 16:47 |
| idimmu | need the repos to get this part sorted you see :p | 16:47 |
| TuxOtaku | IMO, Wine sucks and in these times of proper virtualization tech, it's entirely unnecessary | 16:47 |
| Frogzoo__ | FruitPastel: lets you run a comman as root, almost same thing | 16:47 |
| stu | ok thanks Creeture ill try it out | 16:47 |
| FruitPastel | cool thanks | 16:47 |
| kappaccino | TuxOtaku: agreed | 16:47 |
| Frogzoo__ | TuxOtaku: no windows license required for wine, wine has its uses | 16:47 |
| stu | TuxOtaku, I'm not going to have an entire windows vm just for newsleecher? | 16:47 |
| TuxOtaku | granted, stu | 16:47 |
| Shubbar | Azureus starts up on login even though i removed it from session startup programs | 16:47 |

| shelbyscates | hey guys i have my ubuntu box set up to run scripts when certain keys are pressed, and it works great in gnome but not in wmii, how can i make it work in wmii? | 16:48 |
| Creeture | TuxOtaku: I'll bite. How else would I install something simple (Filezilla is an example...had to set it up for someone a few days ago) that is Windows specific to run from my Linux desktop? | 16:48 |
| Shubbar | how can i stop it from starting up at login? | 16:48 |
| TuxOtaku | kappaccino, haven't I seen you on another IRC network? | 16:48 |
| kappaccino | tekzilla :P | 16:48 |
| TuxOtaku | ahh | 16:48 |
| TuxOtaku | lol | 16:48 |
| kappaccino | I lurk here | 16:48 |
| TuxOtaku | thought so | 16:48 |
| stu | filezilla is windows only? | 16:48 |
| MystaMax | no | 16:49 |
| Creeture | stu: No, it was just an example. | 16:49 |
| kappaccino | I thought the whole point of going linux these days are for the open source app alternatives | 16:49 |
| stu | not sure whu you would even need a ftp cliemt in linux anyway | 16:49 |
| stu | client* | 16:49 |
| kappaccino | well that's one of the reasons | 16:49 |
| Frogzoo__ | kappaccino: that, and stability | 16:49 |
| MystaMax | hi, I'd like to add an existing user to multiple existing groups using adduser command, is that possible? | 16:50 |
| stu | GFS kinda obsoletes the need for a ftp client I think | 16:50 |
| FruitPastel | Ah, so if i typed in like sudo killall gnome-panel that would stop all my prosesses? | 16:50 |
| Creeture | It's an example of a free Win32 app that runs flawlessly in Wine. | 16:50 |
| stu | MystaMax, you probably want usermod | 16:50 |
| kitche | FruitPastel: just the gnome-panel processes | 16:50 |
| mDemocritus | FruitPastel: it would kill all the processes named gnome-panel | 16:50 |
| Kl4m | The whole point of going Linux is to not go crazy trying to admin a network | 16:50 |
| Kl4m | for me | 16:50 |

| legend2440 | stu: have you tries pan newsreader? | 16:51 |

| Rosen | When a game asks for DirectX under Wine, what should I do? CAN I even install directX under Wine? seems fishy ;) | 16:52 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | Can anybody tell me the command to recursively wget mp3s from a webpage? | 16:52 |
| Kl4m | Rosen: DirectX is part of wine, it kind of works up to directX 8 | 16:53 |
| Frogzoo__ | Rosen: wine will run some directx games, you're often better using opengl if you can | 16:53 |
| legend2440 | stu: yes search by author filename and search for groups | 16:53 |
| Frogzoo__ | !appdb | Rosen check for specifics for your app | 16:53 |
| ubottu | Rosen check for specifics for your app: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 16:53 |
| Rosen | yeah I tried all different graphic modes with no luck :P | 16:53 |
| Kl4m | Rosen: For example TF2 works, but it has some weird effects | 16:53 |
| Frogzoo__ | Rosen: time to check appdb | 16:53 |
| hoonteke | any word on when Firefox RC1 or now RC2 will be put into the Ubuntu archives? | 16:54 |
| kappaccino | hoonteke: I just got it from an alternative repo and it works fine | 16:55 |

| amen51 | Creeture, Pici, Bodsda : thanks again, all seem to work nicely. FYI the script at http://www.linux.com/feature/114220 works perfectly (for kernel 2.6), it restores the X session afterwards. The whole script should be run as root (sudo -i as suggest by Bodsda). Even "chvt" works under X when run as the root. | 16:58 |

| cschneid_ | anybody have ideas on why my "terminal" app freezes at launch? I never get a prompt, and it greys itself out like it's frozen. | 17:21 |
| codecaine | cschneid are you running compiz or some window manager? | 17:22 |
| DrNic1 | whats the general situation like these days re: ATI cards + ubuntu? | 17:22 |
| cschneid_ | codecaine, default gnome + ati drivers + compiz (I think, spiffy graphics certainly) | 17:22 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | !ati | DrNic1 | 17:22 |
| ubottu | DrNic1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 17:22 |
| sdffdsg8454 | is it possible to enable activex in ubuntu? | 17:22 |
| DrNic1 | no, I didn't want a walkthrough on how to install the binary driver, I asked about the general situation in regards to compatability and how good is it? | 17:23 |
| DrNic1 | vs nvidia | 17:23 |
| codecaine | maybe compiz not loading right | 17:23 |
| LinuxApe | yuriy: I would seriously consider removing ndiswrapper and going back to bc34. You may not be loading the right drivers in ndiswrapper. | 17:23 |
| codecaine | have you tried just loaded back default metacity? | 17:23 |
| cschneid_ | codecaine, it was working as recently as yesterday, and I haven't done any config changes. A restart of X perhaps? | 17:23 |
| stu | right disabling visual effects fixes my flickering video playback... but this isnt a solution.... I just know what the cause is now | 17:23 |
| codecaine | yea try to restart x | 17:23 |
| stu | its compiz... | 17:23 |
| LinuxApe | yuriy: and the ripper for the bc34 module works like a charm. | 17:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DrNic1 This isnt the discussion channel.. that would be #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:23 |
| cschneid_ | codecaine, ok, giving it a shot | 17:23 |
| yuriy | LinuxApe: bc34? not b43? | 17:24 |
| legend2440 | cschneid_: do update manager and synaptic open? | 17:24 |
| tj83 | DrNic1 ... using fglrx... works great on x1200 except opengl like google earth flickers unless i use metacity --replace | 17:24 |

| PleXuS | hi all | 18:22 |
| RomanaMentalis | Need ubuntu help please - I need to copy over my entire ubuntu server 8.04 on to a USB hard drive so that I can create a Raid array on the server and then copy back the server from the HD once the Raid array is in place. I have the USB HD mounted, but I'm not sure what to do to copy the entire server to the folder on the drive I have mounted. Any help or a tutorial you can point me to would be appreciated. | 18:22 |
| soundray | gnr`: RAM plus swap equals total virtual memory. | 18:22 |
| PleXuS | anyone known if intel 4xxx wifi mobile works on ubuntu 8.04 64bit ? | 18:22 |
| Darlok_Williams | Forgive my frustration... but ever since installing Hardy, I've had so many problems with PulseAudio! If I use one application that plays sound, I need to restart X before any other app will play sound. How can I fix this?? | 18:23 |
| soundray | gnr`: if you run out of RAM, swap is used to avoid having to shutdown applications | 18:23 |
| abdulla | soundray: wht do i do after alt-tab | 18:23 |
| soundray | abdulla: your wine app captures Alt-F9 and Alt-Space. You may have to configure it so it doesn't do that. I don't know how, though. | 18:23 |
| soulhacker | Darlok_Williams:if you have problems with pulse in prefrences>sound put everything to alsa | 18:24 |
| soulhacker | !dd | 18:24 |
| ubottu | Factoid dd not found | 18:24 |
| soulhacker | RomanaMentalis:use dd | 18:24 |
| vz | does anyone happen to know from top of their head what kernel does 8.04 server has? | 18:25 |
| Darlok_Williams | soulhacker: Couldn't do it "Device is being used by another application" I thought that's what PulseAudio is supposed to fix... | 18:25 |
| IrishRebel | hmm | 18:25 |
| soulhacker | vz:deault is 2.6.24-16 | 18:25 |
| soulhacker | vz:default is 2.6.24-16 latest is 2.6.24-18 | 18:25 |
| mshanks | How do I give a group write permission to a folder? | 18:25 |
| IrishRebel | what are Ubuntu's versions of Check Disk and Defrag? | 18:26 |
| soundray | mshanks: chmod g+w folder/ | 18:26 |
| graham | not sure ubuntu has a defrag, doesn't need one | 18:26 |
| soulhacker | IrishRebel:fsck for chweck disk for defrag dont know | 18:26 |
| Jeruvy | are some of the repo mirrors down? | 18:26 |
| soundray | IrishRebel: checkdisk is fsck. There is no defrag | 18:26 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: i did nothing to it | 18:26 |
| Darlok_Williams | Okay, now not even restarting X will get my sound back!! | 18:26 |
| RomanaMentalis | soulhacker: thank you :) | 18:26 |
| FruitPastel | What does setting a veriable in the terminal mean/do? | 18:26 |
| vz | does vmware server from the repos work in 8.04 server? | 18:27 |
| soundray | Darlok_Williams: I've heard that some people have had success with the dmixplugin link from the sound factoid: | 18:27 |
| soundray | !sound | Darlok_Williams | 18:27 |
| ubottu | Darlok_Williams: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 18:27 |
| soulhacker | ferronica:thats da problem you have 2 change it according the link i first gave you that tldp one | 18:27 |
| IrishRebel | thanks Soulhacker hmm, no defrag? | 18:27 |
| soundray | FruitPastel: enter 'env' to see all of your currently set variables | 18:27 |
| soundray | IrishRebel: defrag is unnecessary | 18:27 |
| Darlok_Williams | soundray: Well, my sound works usually.... but since installing Hardy, every time I use an application that plays sound, every other program that tries to play sound is muted. | 18:28 |
| FruitPastel | soundray, Thanks | 18:28 |
| ASULutzy | IrishRebel: ext3 doesn't fragment like FAT and NTFS | 18:28 |
| soundray | FruitPastel: some programs read them, similar to parameters on the command line | 18:28 |
| IrishRebel | soundray, thx uh, how so? | 18:28 |
| Darlok_Williams | soundray: This even after closing the original program and after restarting X. It seems that PulseAudio captures the device and never lets go. | 18:28 |
| soundray | FruitPastel: to set one, do 'export varname=123' | 18:28 |
| soulhacker | IrishRebel:i have never heard of it i think you should read up on linux filesystems | 18:28 |
| soulhacker | |ext3 | 18:28 |
| IrishRebel | ASUL oh really? that's cool | 18:28 |
| FruitPastel | In what circumstances would i need to set one? | 18:28 |

| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 18:29 |
| soundray | IrishRebel: ext3 manages the layout of files in the filesystem in a way that avoids fragmentation from the outset. | 18:29 |
| ASULutzy | IrishRebel: Yea, as long as you have at least a decent amount of free space on your ext3 partition, fragmentation won't be a problem | 18:29 |
| soulhacker | !ext3|IrishRebel | 18:29 |
| ubottu | IrishRebel: please see above | 18:29 |
| Darlok_Williams | soundray: I still have no sound even after killing pulseaudio and changing the ALSA | 18:29 |

| soundray | Darlok_Williams: sorry, beyond the dmixplugin thing I don't have any suggestions | 18:29 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: please give me that link again | 18:30 |
| IrishRebel | Oh no kidding. I was wondering if ext3 worked differently than NTFS, etc. | 18:30 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 18:30 |

| gooody | what does sudo mv and sudo nano do? | 18:31 |
| soundray | gnr`: that's way too much swap. Linux won't make use of more than 2GB anyway | 18:31 |

| ubottu | gooody: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 18:31 |
| soundray | !nano | gooody | 18:31 |

| RomanaMentalis | hmm | 19:17 |
| newair | codecaine: it's the invest app. It worked for about a week and now it's not | 19:17 |
| StooJ | RomanaMentalis: Should be the first or second option | 19:17 |
| ASULutzy | !ot | ASULutzy | 19:17 |
| emilioeduardob | userx86: no luck still no borders on windows :( | 19:18 |
| RomanaMentalis | stooj: I don't have that, I have Install Ubuntu Server, Check CD for defects, rescue a broken system, test memory, and boot from first hard disk | 19:18 |
| soulhacker | emilioeduardob:do u use compiz? | 19:18 |
| StooJ | Ah, server doesn't work as a live CD | 19:18 |
| RomanaMentalis | ok so I need to download something else | 19:18 |
| emilioeduardob | i have installed emerald too but it doesn't show borders too | 19:18 |
| userx86 | hmm, emilioeduardob, how about trying metacity --replace | 19:18 |
| RomanaMentalis | like knoppix? | 19:18 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: help | 19:18 |
| StooJ | RomanaMentalis : Yep - you need the desktop edition. | 19:19 |
| userx86 | it'll disable compiz but at least you'll get some borders, i think | 19:19 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: i did everything | 19:19 |
| emilioeduardob | userx86: with metacity --replace i get borders ! :D | 19:19 |

| userx86 | emilioeduardob thats cool, but you'll lose the cool compiz fusion affects that way | 19:19 |
| RomanaMentalis | Stooj: So I can use the desktop edition installation CD as a live CD for my server? | 19:19 |
| emilioeduardob | userx86: :( what can i do then? reinstall ubuntu hardy? | 19:19 |
| userx86 | lol reinstall, thats so windows. what were you doing when compiz stopped working? | 19:20 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: ok let me see | 19:20 |
| emilioeduardob | :P hehehe just droping my windows box hehehe.. i had installed the nvidia restricted drivers | 19:20 |
| StooJ | RomanaMentalis: What exactly are you needing? The server edition doesn't come with a desktop environment, so a LiveCD version wouldn't really accomplish much | 19:20 |
| emilioeduardob | and i had 640x480 resolution on my CRT and installed nvidia-settings | 19:20 |
| MadHag | are there skype issues because I cant get it to start! | 19:21 |
| johnnypea | can I install skype in ubuntu? | 19:21 |
| RomanaMentalis | Stooj: What I need to do is to copy my entire current server configuration to an external USB hard drive that I have mounted so that I can set up a RAID 1 on my server, then copy my configuration back from the HD to the server | 19:21 |
| codecaine | johnnypea yes www.skype.com | 19:21 |
| userx86 | i used to have that problem, it seemed to be distro related for me, and sometimes contained within emerald | 19:21 |
| johnnypea | :) | 19:22 |
| userx86 | aka emerald = no borders, for me | 19:22 |
| johnnypea | thx | 19:22 |
| codecaine | they have a deb package for u | 19:22 |
| soulhacker | johnnypea:yes | 19:22 |
| emilioeduardob | but i had no borders before installing emerald | 19:22 |
| soulhacker | !medibutu | 19:22 |
| ubottu | Factoid medibutu not found | 19:22 |
| emilioeduardob | i tried to install emerald to get borders | 19:22 |
| soulhacker | !medibuntu | 19:22 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 19:22 |
| StooJ | RomanaMentalis: PartImage will probably be of more use to you then, if you're backing up an entire server. | 19:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I'm not sure how it happened, but I think I have something like sticky keys enabled and I don't know how to stop it. It's on after a reboot, and it's making it so I can't log in. when I press a key, nothing happens for about 10 seconds, then the letter shows up repeated over and over. I can't stop it and I don't know how to turn it off. any ideas? | 19:22 |
| RomanaMentalis | stooj: ok thank you, I will check it out - I was trying to use dd | 19:22 |
| StooJ | http://www.partimage.org/ | 19:22 |
| codecaine | ah there a command in xorg.conf to get the boarders | 19:22 |
| emilioeduardob | is there a way to get gnome to its default settings? | 19:22 |
| userx86 | ok, wish i could help you further, you could try here or continue to ask questions | 19:23 |
| userx86 | http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&q=compiz+fusion+no+borders&btnG=Search | 19:23 |
| emilioeduardob | codecaine: i don't happend to remember the command, do you ? :P | 19:23 |
| StooJ | RomanaMentalis: Or you could use the live CD, mount your installed drives and then rsync them to an external drive | 19:23 |
| userx86 | to other people cause im stumped, compiz fusion did that to me, but compiz --replace always fixed it | 19:23 |
| StooJ | But couldn't you do that with your installed OS anyway? | 19:23 |
| codecaine | yea ill pastebin | 19:23 |
| yigal | is there a flavor of ubuntu that geared towards people with a preference for the command line, cli interface? | 19:23 |
| emilioeduardob | great! =) | 19:23 |
| userx86 | yiga1, yes, archlinux | 19:24 |
| yigal | userx86: but that isn't ubuntu :) | 19:24 |
| StooJ | emilioduardob: Have you tried metacity --replace? | 19:24 |
| userx86 | lol i know | 19:24 |
| RomanaMentalis | I was following a tutorial on using DD and it said I needed to boot from a live CD in order to copy over my main file system into a gz file | 19:24 |
| === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek | ||
| emilioeduardob | stooj tried and it works, but with emerald it doesn't show borders(with compiz) | 19:24 |
| === fabian_ is now known as Fabz0r | ||
| yigal | userx86: ok, I thought as much I've been using Debian but I would like a friendly community base so I thought I should ask here | 19:25 |
| StooJ | :( | 19:25 |
| MadHag | yigal, maybe you could uninstall gnome, that might be interesting | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RomanaMentalis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 19:25 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Can someone tell me how I can re-install GRUB from Edubuntu 7.10 CD? | 19:25 |
| yigal | MadHag: I don't have GNOME installed :) | 19:25 |
| MadHag | yigal, probably wont let you though | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | emilioeduardob I can give you the link to restoring default gnome | 19:25 |
| yigal | MadHag: it will | 19:25 |
| MadHag | yigal, what happens | 19:25 |
| userx86 | uninstall gnome, thats a great idea lol | 19:25 |
| Fabz0r | sure it is | 19:26 |
| yigal | MadHag: just use very minimal X setup, it work :) | 19:26 |
| Fabz0r | all you needs the command line | 19:26 |
| emilioeduardob | jack_sparrow: that'd be great! paste the link | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | emilioeduardob sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity from http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ | 19:26 |
| yigal | userx86: I don't like GNOME it is too complicated to figure out how to do things that I want to computer to do | 19:26 |
| yigal | gconf I find is a nightmare, really | 19:26 |
| emilioeduardob | thanks Jack! =) i'll give it a try | 19:26 |
| MadHag | yigal, yeah Gnome too complicated I much prefer the command line lol | 19:27 |
| newair | Jack_Sparrow: Do you know how to fix a Panel App? I get a single white pixel instead of a list of data for Invest App | 19:27 |
| jrib | yigal: you aren't supposed to edit gconf directly as a user... it's up to the program to expose settings to you | 19:27 |
| StooJ | emilioeduardob - remember to installed gnome again though :) | 19:27 |
| yigal | jrib: but I want things KISS from all levels and GNOME simply doesn't do that | 19:27 |
| thompa | does anyone know after adding more ram for ubuntu 64, anything else i need to do? like reinstall? | 19:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newair What do you mean by panel app? | 19:27 |
| MrNaz | in the update manager, i'm looking at the progress of the package download dialog box, and there are a bunch of failed downloads, and rechecking doesnt seem to get them... what's actually happening here? | 19:27 |
| hyphenated | thompa: reboot.. | 19:27 |
| yigal | thompa: it should work | 19:27 |
| === krishna is now known as pal_ | ||
| jrib | yigal: I'm interested in why you think that, but want to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic? | 19:28 |
| thompa | hyphenated: ok, no reason to reinstall or tweak anything i guess? | 19:28 |
| yigal | jrib: sounds reasonable | 19:28 |
| MrNaz | some of them say done, some say hit and others say failed | 19:28 |
| newair | Jack_Sparrow: like the weather tool and stuff | 19:28 |
| thompa | hyphenated: ok its showing 4g ram now | 19:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newair no idea.. sorry | 19:28 |
| yigal | so as far as others know there is no ubuntu flavor catored towards those interested in a minimal X environment | 19:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yigal, xubuntu | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 19:29 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:29 |
| yigal | Seven_Six_Two: that isn't minimal, at least for me :) | 19:29 |
| hyphenated | thompa: no, RAM is one of those things you can just add and reboot. new PCI cards or new hard drives might take extra work | 19:29 |
| pal_ | can i keep different wallpapers on different workspaces in ubutnu???? | 19:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yigal, you just want command line? any flavour, or any distro is totally configurable | 19:29 |
| newair | Jack_Sparrow: I may have found a genuine glitch. oh well. Thank you for responding | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pal_ Yes, but you will lose the ability to have icons on those desktops | 19:29 |
| yigal | I say minimal X, not minimal capabilities | 19:30 |
| thompa | hyphenated: thanks, its still using about half a gig RAM only | 19:30 |
| yigal | for instance I like GRML, if anyone is familiar | 19:30 |
| hyphenated | thompa: run more apps.. | 19:30 |
| pal_ | can u tell me that ?how can i do it???? | 19:30 |
| yigal | I am asking because I sometimes miss the community base that makes Ubuntu | 19:30 |
| hyphenated | thompa: install apache, php, a database server, and run 100 firefoxes.. get it all in use ;-) | 19:30 |
| RomanaMentalis | Stooj: So I'm downloading the systemrescuecd which says it has partimage on it & I can use it to backup and restore images even if there is no OS present. This sounds perfect, thank you. | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yigal This is ubuntu support.. I suggest /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:30 |
| thompa | hyphenated: good idea, maybe i will try making a video | 19:30 |
| yigal | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 19:30 |
| StooJ | RomanaMentalis: no problem! | 19:30 |
| johnnypea | another noobish question, how can I make some app autorun on start? | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pal_ I dont remember and I am kinda busy | 19:31 |
| thompa | hyphenated: maybe virtual pc stuff too. okey dokey | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !startup | 19:31 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 19:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yigal, why don't you install fluxbox then? | 19:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | or blackbox? | 19:31 |

| ubottu | Gemmie78: 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. | 19:46 |
| amrik | Gemmie78: the one thing i needed that thunderbird didnt have out of the box was pgp signing | 19:46 |
| amrik | Gemmie78: but there is an extension for that so its ok | 19:46 |
| BZWingZero | CBro2007: I dont' know. I don't have a whole lot of experience with connecting to SMB shares. I only connected once yesterday to a win share. | 19:46 |
| jrib | Seven_Six_Two: I see the scrollback, it was a miscommunication. I wanted to talk with yigal about what he didn't like about gnome (which is offtopic). But you were helping him with a minimal environment in Ubuntu, that's totally fine and on-topic. These two discussions seem to have gotten lumped together by mistake. Does that clear it up? | 19:46 |
| Gemmie78 | I never used PINE, always wanted to use it though, I just wanted to see if anyone had issues | 19:46 |
| TheBase | I'm running OpenSuse 10.2 but I can't run the ATI Radeon X700 driver for my video card properly. Since I'll reintall the linux I was considering changing to some other distro. Is it easy to get Ubuntu running with Compiz? | 19:47 |
| Gemmie78 | I'm still pretty new to linux though | 19:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | jrib, oh ok. That clears it up for me. Thanks muchly!! | 19:47 |
| Flannel | Gemmie78: Use mutt instead. Its a pine clone, because pine is non-free. (and nano instead of pico) | 19:47 |

| cbminfo | how do I run a windows EXE in ubuntu ? | 19:49 |
| Gemmie78 | Hey Jack Sparrow, thanks for helping me out before again mate | 19:49 |
| ompaul | !wine | cbminfo | 19:49 |
| slewis | I had to install Hardy via debootstrap and loads of things like sound and bootspash animation are not set up correctly... does anyone know the magic commands for autoconfiguration? | 19:49 |
| ubottu | cbminfo: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 19:49 |
| connor | cbminfo: download wine | 19:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 Not a problem | 19:49 |
| connor | sudo apt-get install wine | 19:49 |
| Flannel | amrik: Because you couldn't modify it and distribute it | 19:49 |
| aixenv | legend2440 : ahh weird it was set to nothing, i set it to control+c / control+v and it works ty for the help | 19:49 |

| NewfieLinux | Dont give me that crap ubottu,Ive checked the forums and asked on the irc for 2 days,the forums are outdated and nobody here helps. | 19:49 |
| connor | lmao | 19:49 |
| Gemmie78 | In the sense that more people here use thunderbird right, so I guess it's a lot easier to diagnose any issue I have | 19:49 |
| legend2440 | aixenv: no problem | 19:49 |
| connor | newfie you are awesome | 19:50 |
| connor | newfielinux: whats teh problem | 19:50 |
| Flannel | !patience | NewfieLinux | 19:50 |
| ubottu | NewfieLinux: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 19:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gemmie78 Evolution.. in my opinion is trying to be too much like outlook, where thunderbird is a clean offline mail reader | 19:50 |
| ompaul | NewfieLinux, that is a bot, and you repeated yourself and triggered a ban once - please sit back for a while and maybe rephrase the question a little | 19:50 |
| Gemmie78 | Newfie strange that the help is free but I was helped by quite a few people in this room | 19:50 |
| gsker | I've narrowed it down and I suspect it's a bug but since I don't see it again in the fora I wonder..... | 19:50 |

| mshanks | How do I give a specific group write permission to a folder? | 19:53 |
| Flannel | NewfieLinux: That's because it's /home/alex/Desktop | 19:53 |

| Jack_Sparrow | NewfieLinux What tutorial are you trying to follow | 19:54 |
| Rosen | Hey hackers :) | 19:54 |
| Gemmie78 | I guess another benefit of thunderbird is integration with firefox | 19:54 |
| connor | my clock always moves 1 hour ahead whenever i log into ubuntu, does anyone know why? | 19:54 |
| gsker | tritonio: at the grub prompt (where it asks you to choose your kernel, you can edit the kernel line and get rid of quiet and splash and you'll see more. | 19:54 |
| NewfieLinux | none | 19:54 |
| NewfieLinux | Ive just tried to run it | 19:54 |
| Flannel | NewfieLinux: Well, if that was your error, that would be your problem. You'll need to be helpful for us to be able to help you. | 19:54 |
| NewfieLinux | Ive tried forum tuts | 19:54 |
| jrib | mshanks: traditionally, you can only give group permissions and those group permissions apply to the group that "owns" the folder. You can change the group that owns the folder with chgrp (or chown). Does that work for you? | 19:54 |
| NewfieLinux | but they are outdated | 19:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NewfieLinux The better the quesion.. including the error.. the better the answers | 19:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | _empemp_ /join #winehq | 19:55 |
| NewfieLinux | Am I supposed to run it from the terminal? | 19:55 |
| jedimind | the loading screen gets to about 10% and then it freezes up and forces me to turn off the laptop , and try again | 19:55 |
| mshanks | jrib; I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I need to give the apache group (www-data) write permission to a folder in my home directory | 19:55 |

| gsker | preseed anyone? :-) | 19:56 |

| Jaffarkelshac | idefine: you can add it to sessions, system administrator, sessions, or add display to the command export DISPLAY=:0 && command.. | 19:59 |
| Flannel | PiouSinner: yes, or in synaptic, find the "build-essential" package and mark it for installaton, and then hit apply | 19:59 |
| tj83 | newfielinux... how many times must we say you didnt use a capital "D"? | 19:59 |
| Flannel | NewfieLinux: Linux is caps specific, so if that was the exact error, then the D vs d would be significant | 19:59 |
| tj83 | newfielinux yes you do actually. | 19:59 |
| Jaffarkelshac | sorry prefereces idefine | 19:59 |

| BZWingZero | eugen: The desktop CD is a Live/Install CD | 20:11 |

| ksbalaji | jrib, Hi! if xchat is in Hardy repository, it should not be asking for libnotify instead of libnotify1. I think the plugin has to do something with balloon notification.

| Gin | anon: what is your problem? | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 20:29 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:29 |

| CBro2007 | Guys if I can access a Samba folder in Konquerer smb://Cbro@is00787/C$ ... how do I see this from the terminal? | 20:38 |

| Adamodell | @ Jack_Sparrow... "Is there anything that can be done to speedup an external Dial-Up Modem, since I have purchased a TrendNet it has been 14kbps and less. I usually get 24kbps." I'd say no, but I would like to help my friend. (tries not to make it a long story) | 20:39 |
| Gin | anon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 20:39 |
| Cpudan80 | ASULutzy: It was within 2 mounts though - I'll just reboot a few times | 20:39 |
| CBro2007 | Can someone tell me how to access a Samba Folder in the terminal? | 20:39 |
| anon | thanks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17668/ | 20:39 |
| ASULutzy | Cpudan80: If you're missing /etc/mtab, you've got a bigger problem than having a hard drive error or something | 20:39 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: smbclient | 20:39 |
| ASULutzy | Cpudan80: I would think | 20:39 |
| eraldo | in nautilus... when rightclicking a file, there is a "Notes"-tab.. Question: is there a way to view or right content to that tab using the command line ? | 20:39 |
| CBro2007 | cybermage: whats that? | 20:39 |
| ASULutzy | Cpudan80: I think Jack_Sparrow was asking you some questions about it that seemed pertinent | 20:39 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: command line client for samba | 20:40 |
| CBro2007 | cybermage: What I have done is that I have installed AndLINUX on my XP box which has Ubuntu | 20:40 |
| Cpudan80 | Well Jack_Sparrow was asking if I had made changes | 20:40 |
| Cpudan80 | I have made NO changes | 20:41 |
| jedimind | can someone help me debug why my laptop doesnt boot any more these days ? it freezes 10% through the loading bar and forces me to turn it off, try again - it always manages to boot eventually (though often after 4-5+ tries) without any changes... its really weird and trying to boot from older kernel / recovery mode doesnt help | 20:41 |
| jedimind | any ideas ? | 20:41 |
| CBro2007 | cybermage: Now I created a shared folder in Windows.. whcih I am able to acces from both shell and Knoquerer | 20:41 |
| === rta-online is now known as eth01 | ||
| Cpudan80 | But the thing is doing a check | 20:41 |
| Cpudan80 | we shall see | 20:41 |
| gooody | how can i enable the shutdown sound? | 20:41 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: and what is the issue then? | 20:41 |
| pepperjack | gooody: gksu gdmsetup possibly | 20:41 |
| austin | I got banned | 20:41 |
| CBro2007 | cybermage: But Konquerer also managed to get into my C: on the XP which is what I want from the terminal to be able to run GREPS | 20:41 |
| austin | Ha. | 20:41 |
| * stemount^ prods eth01 - I'm from stockport/manchester too | 20:41 | |
| austin | Not anymore | 20:41 |
| austin | Just with the floodbot | 20:42 |
| austin | So.. I like tits. | 20:42 |
| austin | What shall we do? | 20:42 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: you have to mount it then | 20:42 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: mount -t smbfs .... | 20:42 |
| CBro2007 | cybermage: So I am thinking that if Konquerer can get to it then so can the terminal yeah? | 20:42 |
| CBro2007 | and then the shared name? | 20:42 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: mount it as smbfs so you can run linux commands there | 20:42 |
| HiTo | Is there a way to see the progression of the fsck after a hard reboot on Hard Herron ? | 20:42 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: check google and man for syntax | 20:42 |
| Cpudan80 | AH HA! | 20:43 |
| Cpudan80 | The FS check fixed errors! | 20:43 |
| Cpudan80 | WEEE :-) | 20:43 |
| Cpudan80 | I wonder if something bad happened to some part of the HDD | 20:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cpudan80 Great... | 20:43 |
| cybermage | guys, has anyone played nwn on Hardy ? | 20:43 |
| Cpudan80 | maybe its going bad | 20:43 |
| CBro2007 | Ok and if I wanted it to automatically mount everytime I start AndLINUX do I add it to /etc/fstab>? | 20:43 |
| cygoku | I am not in luck with all this ! :( | 20:43 |
| Cpudan80 | It's under warranty - I'll just replace it | 20:43 |
| cybermage | CBro2007: autofs might be better | 20:43 |

| MFietje | i can see that there is a kernel update again with the updates, is it good to update to the 2.6.24-19 kernel? | 20:46 |
| Cpudan80 | but I disabled/reenabled the driver | 20:46 |

| ubottu | jedimind: 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 | 20:47 |
| jedimind | yes dear | 20:47 |
| Cpudan80 | Success! | 20:47 |
| jedimind | though ive been asking about this for going on 3 days now | 20:47 |
| jedimind | so ..... | 20:47 |

| Cpudan80 | Problem solved | 20:47 |
| drewbert | Hello is it possible to run an application in the scope of a domain, or log into a local machine and domain in the same session. The reason why I ask is because I want at work there is a windows domain in which the run a jabber network and I can't connect to that with pidgin without loggining into the domain. | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jedimind Attitude wont help you get an answer | 20:47 |

| KRF | bing, tar xfj *.bz2; cd azureus; ./azureus | 20:48 |
| jedimind | what attitude ? ive been asking the same question for 3 days, cant find anything on forusm, cant get any help in here ... im starting to lose time that should be used for working | 20:48 |
| KRF | run that | 20:48 |
| kinap | where do I download aticonfig | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Brun0_ aWhat does that key actually show on your keyboard | 20:49 |
| * jedimind shuts up | 20:49 | |
| bing | whAT DOES THAT MEAN | 20:49 |
| KRF | kinap, packages.ubuntu.com, "search contents of packages" | 20:49 |
| Starnestommy | bing: what does what mean? | 20:49 |
| Vlet | jedimind: I think what they're referring to is the "yes dear". Just ask your question. | 20:49 |
| bing | sorry about caps | 20:49 |
| jedimind | can someone help me debug why my laptop doesnt boot any more these days ? it freezes 10% through the loading bar and forces me to turn it off, try again - it always manages to boot eventually (though often after 4-5+ tries) without any changes... its really weird and trying to boot from older kernel / recovery mode doesnt help | 20:49 |
| _Brun0_ | Jack_Sparrow: you mean the question mark? | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bing It was obvious cap lock gotcha.. not a problem | 20:49 |
| KRF | bing, do you know what a console is? | 20:50 |
| bing | yes | 20:50 |
| MFietje | is it okay to update to the newest proposed kernel update?? | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Brun0_ What keys are not right when you press them | 20:50 |
| MFietje | 2.6.24-19? | 20:50 |
| |slowz| | jedimind: ive saw this happen with acpi on, try kernel boot options of acpi=off or noacpi | 20:50 |
| ASULutzy | Dang, -19 already? -18 was like 2 days ago | 20:50 |
| bing | installing things is hardest thing so far on ubuntu | 20:50 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: did it work perfectly in the past? | 20:51 |
| m1ke_l | jedimind: i have same issues with ubuntu on home desktop | 20:51 |
| KRF | bing, you can install azureus with adept | 20:51 |
| jedimind | hyphenated: yeah it used to work just fine until about ... a week ago or so it started going this | 20:51 |
| m1ke_l | acpi didn't help me at all | 20:51 |
| cygoku | MFietje : If kernel updates were not okay, they wouldn't be proposed :) | 20:51 |
| jedimind | |slowz|: i tried disabling apci - no help | 20:51 |
| KRF | bing, with your package manager | 20:51 |
| MFietje | -19 already :) | 20:51 |
| Vlet | jedimind: when the system first boots, there is a moment when grub (the boot loader) asks you if you want to modify the boot command. take the 'silent' part out of it so you can see what part it is freezing on | 20:51 |
| bing | the version in sypnaticx is out dated and i need the new version | 20:51 |
| MFietje | cygoku, that's a quick update then | 20:51 |
| Starnestommy | bing: the version in synaptic is fine | 20:51 |
| ASULutzy | I'm all about rTorrent now, I ssh to my machine at home everyday from work and tell it to grab stuff for me so it'll be there when I get home | 20:51 |
| _Brun0_ | Jack_Sparrow: all keys are right. I just cannot do question mark because it is a bit different from common keyboards. In my laptop the question mark is done by combination of CTRL+ALT+W or FN+F1 | 20:51 |
| prakriti | can you set a directory so that all files/dirs made in that dir are owned by a particular group? | 20:52 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: my first 2 guesses would be RAM (do a ram check from the live cd) or hard drive (boot from the live cd) | 20:52 |
| cygoku | MFietje : It fixes stuff here and there. Proposed kernel update are never major, like jumping to another version number. | 20:52 |
| jedimind | wlel it always ends up booting eventually - like im on it right now; but sometimes it takes 2 tries, sometimes as many as 20 before it'll boot | 20:52 |
| KRF | bing, i gave you the commands, you have to run them in console | 20:52 |
| jedimind | ive done a fsck on it, no ram check yet but i guess that can be the next step | 20:52 |
| MFietje | cygoku, i see... | 20:52 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: is it a laptop? | 20:52 |
| jedimind | also - is there a boot log ? that would maybe log wahts going on ? /etc/boot doesnt have anything in it | 20:52 |
| KRF | bing, change your directory in console to that bz2 file location | 20:52 |
| jedimind | hyphenated: yeah its a laptop | 20:52 |
| jedimind | err /var/log/boot that is (doesnt have anthing in it) | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Brun0_ Odd but ok, you might consider remapping a key you seldom use so it becomes a ? | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !keys | 20:53 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 20:53 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: on an older ubuntu, I'd get that problem if I booted with the wireless kill switch turned off (eg: wireless enabled) | 20:53 |
| MFietje | cygoku, i have another question: my laptop is freezing when im injecting packages aircrack-ng. i hope this will be fixed with this update :) | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !keyboard | 20:54 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 20:54 |
| _Brun0_ | Jack_Sparrow: i'll try that since other suggestions were to install acerhk module which didn't compiled here =( | 20:54 |
| cygoku | MFietje : I don't have information about this package :S | 20:54 |
| jedimind | hyphenated: my wifi toggle is a shortcut (fn + f2) , and not an actual phyiscal switch, so i cant turn it off / on during the boot proccess, its handled by the OS | 20:54 |
| MFietje | cygoku, no problem | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Brun0_ I'll poke around to see if I can figure it out while you read up | 20:54 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: are you here?? | 20:55 |
| shelbyscates | hey could someone help me i need a mysql database and i have no idea how to make one | 20:55 |
| ferronica | soulhacker: or gone? | 20:55 |
| _Brun0_ | Jack_Sparrow: ty very much | 20:55 |
| mshanks | How come when I do top on my server, and then ctrl+x to exit it, it carries on running in the ps list? | 20:55 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: well, for me, at the time (before 7.10) it was frequent, not recent, and i'd see a message about it.. | 20:55 |
| dystopianray | mshanks: becuase ctrl+x backgrounds tasks, use ctrl+c to terminate them | 20:55 |
| Vlet | jedimind: like I said, if you boot up the system, and at the boot options hit 'e' to edit the default load string, and take out "quiet" and "splash", you should be able to see where it's hanging | 20:56 |
| mshanks | ah ok | 20:56 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: it was a weird combination of it wanting to fsck and some CPU lockup that only occurs with a specific brand of wireless, and only if it's on while booting. | 20:56 |
| jedimind | Vlet: i'll give that a shot next time around - thanks | 20:56 |
| ferronica | i have just shared my printer with XP installed PC when it copies files error windows pops up | 20:56 |
| jedimind | and see what the dealio is | 20:56 |
| hyphenated | jedimind: maybe you can do a fsck from the live cd.. | 20:56 |
| jedimind | im surprised that its not being logged somewhere | 20:56 |
| mshanks | dystopianray, ah cool thanks | 20:56 |
| jedimind | hyphenated: i ran a fsck yesterday on it, no problems | 20:56 |
| Vlet | jedimind: it is, but if you can't boot into the system, how can you view the logs? | 20:56 |
| redbox | jedimind: also, if you edit /etc/default/bootlogd as root and change No to Yes, restart and there should be a /var/log/boot file | 20:56 |
| jedimind | Vlet: it does boot eventually | 20:57 |
| jedimind | im in it now | 20:57 |
| jedimind | but it takes me like 5-10-20 tries | 20:57 |
| jedimind | to get it to boot | 20:57 |
| jedimind | with no changes whatsoever, it just eventually decides to boot | 20:57 |
| hyphenated | which version are you running? | 20:57 |
| Vlet | jedimind: well, I think what I mentioned would be the best way to see where it's hanging | 20:57 |
| jedimind | 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-18 | 20:57 |
| jedimind | even trying to boot into an older kernel i get the same problem | 20:58 |
| hyphenated | i agree with Vlet. next time it screws up at boot, try and find exactly where by doing what he suggested | 20:58 |
| jedimind | yeah i'll do that | 20:58 |
| jedimind | and will also turn logging on thanks redbox | 20:58 |
| hyphenated | write it down ;-) | 20:58 |
| jedimind | haha yeah gotta get the pen+paper going :) | 20:58 |
| jedimind | hopefully i still remember how to use one | 20:58 |
| Next1 | I need to resize and NTFS partition and Gparted will not let me. It tells me it can not read the contents of this drive. Is there another way to do this or make Gparted do it? | 20:58 |
| jedimind | thanks for all the suggestions gus | 20:59 |
| tj83 | say i unplug my usb keyboard or mouse.... how do i get it to recognize it again without restarting? | 20:59 |
| jedimind | guys* | 20:59 |
| cygoku | Next1 : You must have the media unmounted first. | 20:59 |
| ajopaul | hi, can someone help to setup my microphone on dell laptop? i rem i cud record well with gutsy but with hardy, little confused with options in volume control | 21:00 |
| hyphenated | tj83: for me, i just plug it in and it works again | 21:00 |
| dystopianray | tj83: simply plug them back in | 21:00 |
| Next1 | cygoku: Yes, it's unmounted | 21:00 |
| tj83 | ya... didnt work | 21:00 |
| hyphenated | tj83: is it a super-fancy mouse, or just a boring regular one? | 21:00 |
| efu | I tried to copy a boot image to my USB flash mem, and now it seems broken. Both nautilus and gparted search indefinitely when I have it plugged in. Does anyone know whats going on? | 21:00 |
| _Brun0_ | Jack_Sparrow: brb | 21:01 |
| tj83 | the mouse isnt giving me the fit at the moment but the keyboard is a microcrap one with multimedia and internet keys | 21:01 |
| shachaf | Is there a reason the layout-switching keys (in my case, pressing both alt keys at the same time) aren't working anymore? I think this may be related to upgrading to Hardy (some time ago, but I don't use this very often). | 21:01 |
| cygoku | Anyone have the Broadcom CEO's hose adress ? | 21:02 |
| dystopianray | tj83: typically usb input devices should 'just work' with unplugging and plugging back in | 21:02 |
| tj83 | guess my keybaord isnt typical :) | 21:03 |
| tj83 | thanks though | 21:03 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | is there any thing for ubuntu like data recovery | 21:04 |
| cygoku | Even the Cafuego's firmware for b43 didn't solve my slow connection problem with Broadcom. | 21:04 |
| dystopianray | cygoku: try ndiswrapper | 21:04 |
| Infinito_ | efu, whatever you copied into it, is not the problem. imo you should try re-formatting your usb stick to see if it fixes it. | 21:04 |

| Next1 | I need to resize and NTFS partition and Gparted will not let me. It tells me it can not read the contents of this drive. Is there another way to do this or make Gparted do it? | 21:07 |
| shaft0r | Hey guys, trying to figure out why my drive is running so slow... hdparm -t gives me 3MB/s on 1 drive and 45MB/s on another drive. The bios is saying the drive is 137gb (that limit thing) when its really 400gb.. any suggestions ? | 21:08 |
| Vlet | ajopaul: why not just use the sound recorder that comes installed | 21:08 |
| NewfieLinux | Ok,Im trying to run regnum but when i put in my login info and press login a popup says my 1.old video card 2.needs drivers 3.update directx why? | 21:08 |
| thompa | im having i think new flash problem, can watch you tube but no more comedy central | 21:08 |
| ASULutzy | shaft0r: Are you sure the drive is still ok? Maybe sudo apt-get install smartmontools and then sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdwhatever | 21:08 |
| vorondil_ | Howdy. Quick question: Is there a place I can see what ./configure options a mainainer used when building a package? (Specifically, smbclient.) | 21:08 |
| ASULutzy | shaft0r: Unless maybe you have a BIOS setting that is wrong or something | 21:08 |
| cygoku | dystopianray : I tryed 4 to 5 wiki anf tuto without any luck for ndiswrapper. | 21:09 |
| thompa | flash hands on loading in firefox ubuntu 64 | 21:09 |
| jrib | vorondil_: grab the source package and read debian/rules | 21:09 |
| NewfieLinux | Ok,Im trying to run regnum but when i put in my login info and press login a popup says my 1.old video card 2.needs drivers 3.update directx why? | 21:09 |
| thompa | *hangs | 21:09 |
| shaft0r | ASULutzy, thanks i'll try that. it shoudl be fine though, just moved from windows to ubuntu and wiped the ntfs partition | 21:09 |
| jrib | !source > vorondil_ (read the private message from ubottu) | 21:09 |
| dystopianray | cygoku: so ndiswrapper did not work? | 21:09 |
| Next1 | Is 64bit Ububtu faster than 32 bit? | 21:09 |
| shaft0r | ASULutzy, it could be a bios limit.. is that possible to make it slow? | 21:09 |
| Gin | Next1: not really | 21:09 |
| dystopianray | Next1: no | 21:09 |
| thompa | Next1: for me yes | 21:09 |
| Next1 | Why 64bit then? | 21:10 |
| ASULutzy | shaft0r: I'd be more concerned that the system thinks it's 100 GB when it's 500 or whatever you said | 21:10 |
| dystopianray | Next1: ability to use more memory | 21:10 |
| vorondil_ | jrib: Rockin. I knew it had to be in there somewhere. Thanks :) | 21:10 |
| beerfan | anyone know how to prevent the microphone input from coming through the speaker output? | 21:10 |
| thompa | Next1: i got 4g ram, waste really, but i just figured why not use the pc to max | 21:10 |
| shaft0r | ASULutzy, yeah ubuntu does see it as a 400GB drive | 21:10 |
| Gin | Next1: as you can see, for some ppl it is faster. en example of task that can be done a little faster is video encoding | 21:10 |
| ASULutzy | Next1: Go to the 64 bit forums for ubuntu, there's a big long post there about why 64 bit | 21:10 |
| Next1 | dystopianray: Ahh.. I understand now. | 21:10 |
| NewfieLinux | Ok,Im trying to run regnum but when i put in my login info and press login a popup says my 1.old video card 2.needs drivers 3.update directx why? | 21:10 |
| Next1 | ASULutzy: I don't believe anything I read on the internet. :) | 21:11 |
| ASULutzy | shaft0r: I would install smartmontools anyway just because it's something useful to have | 21:11 |
| ajopaul | !sound | 21:11 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:11 |
| thompa | Next1: some things open and close a little faster (like 1 sec), right now i got flash problem though | 21:11 |
| Khisanth | you can also use 4G with a 32bit system :) | 21:11 |
| dystopianray | NewfieLinux: what is regnum? | 21:11 |
| NewfieLinux | An mmorpg | 21:11 |
| NewfieLinux | for linux | 21:11 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | so it really isnt no way of un deleteing a pic file | 21:11 |
| ASULutzy | Next1: Really the meat and potatoes of it is if you have or plan to have 4 GB or more of memory, you'd better get 64 bit | 21:11 |
| Stormx2 | Next1: 64 bit will be faster if you actually have a 64 bit processer in most cases. | 21:11 |
| hornyman5 | Enter text here..... | 21:11 |
| Stormx2 | There are issues with some binary-only apps though. | 21:12 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | i just have to resacn it | 21:12 |
| dystopianray | Stormx2: you can't run 64-bit at all without a 64-bit cpu | 21:12 |

| Stormx2 | dystopianray, well duh ;_; | 21:12 |

| NewfieLinux | some intel mobile crap | 21:13 |
| beerfan | Is it possible to prevent microphone input from coming through the speakers? I've tried every variation of muting/unmuting all input/output devices but no luck. | 21:13 |
| thompa | jrib: can you go to comedycentral.com | 21:13 |
| ASULutzy | NewfieLinux: where did you see a linux install for this mmorpg? | 21:13 |
| Next1 | was thinking maybe 64bit would make my VirtualBox guest run better. | 21:13 |
| Stormx2 | Probably better than mine then | 21:13 |
| dystopianray | NewfieLinux: are you running it in wine? | 21:13 |
| NewfieLinux | On the site....... | 21:13 |

| NewfieLinux | How did you fix it jalathan | 21:18 |
| Jolly | Storm: I set maximum speed. Should i reburn at a lower speed? | 21:18 |
| Jalathan | NewfieLinux: though it being intel, that shouldn't be an issue | 21:18 |
| Jalathan | as the driver is OSS | 21:18 |
| hischild | Whenever i restart firefox, whatever changes i've made with the favorites on the favorites bar in firefox seem to be lost, as it restores the old one when i restart firefox. | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Olaf- lts to lts.. yes, but have a good backup just to be sure | 21:18 |
| Stormx2 | Jolly, if you have spare media, try doing that. I usually burn at 4x or lower. | 21:19 |

| nickrud | fp2007 you would use those standard recoveringubuntuafterinstallingwindows techniques, except when it talks about grub-install, you should run sudo apt-get install grub linux-image-<your kernel version> | 21:33 |
| Odd-rationale | Finnish: you opened it and mounted it. so it should be ok. | 21:33 |
| Finnish | Yeah, that was the problem | 21:33 |

| jahnkeanater | idk | 22:13 |
| picaso2 | hey guys having trouble with the terminal commands | 22:13 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: How did you install subversion? | 22:13 |
| Duesentrieb_ | indeed. will try to reinstall subversion after the dist-upgrade is through | 22:13 |
| anirudh0 | Duesentrieb_: reinstall..you might have deleted something manually from /usr/lib | 22:13 |
| jahnkeanater | it just goes to ubuntu as like a fallback | 22:13 |
| Duesentrieb_ | Flannel: apt-get install subversion | 22:13 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: and which version of Ubuntu is this? | 22:14 |
| Duesentrieb_ | anirudh0: unlikely, but going to reinstall. | 22:14 |
| Duesentrieb_ | Flannel: 8.04 | 22:14 |
| jahnkeanater | i will try deleting it and then if that breaks it i will just fix my windows mbr and use live cd to reinstall grub | 22:14 |
| Duesentrieb_ | (far from the only problem i have with hardy, btw) | 22:14 |
| anirudh0 | Duesentrieb_: what subversion version is this? | 22:14 |
| Duesentrieb_ | anirudh0: i can't ask it :) | 22:14 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: hmm, seems like te Hardy one provides libsvn_client-1.so.1 | 22:15 |
| nickrud | fp2007, hm, try grub-install hd0 | 22:15 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: apt-cache policy subversion | 22:15 |
| anirudh0 | dpkg -p subversion | 22:15 |
| Duesentrieb_ | i already uninstalled for reinstalling it | 22:15 |
| Duesentrieb_ | hm... i installed subversion-tools. maybe that screws it up? | 22:15 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: make sure you do it with --purge, and also grab libsvn1 | 22:15 |
| RomanaMentalis | there's no point to making a raid out of 1 hard disk, right? I'd need 2 hard drives for that to be useful | 22:15 |
| Duesentrieb_ | ok, dpkg sais Version: 1.4.6dfsg1-2ubuntu1 | 22:15 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: er, by "grab" I mean remove | 22:15 |
| fp2007 | nickrud that gave the error: /dev/shm does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 22:16 |
| anirudh0 | Duesentrieb_: no prob with repo..i have the same thing | 22:16 |
| nickrud | fp2007, are you doing these commands in the same terminal you did the chroot in ? | 22:16 |
| Flannel | anirudh0: Have you filed a bugreport? | 22:16 |
| fp2007 | nickrud yes | 22:16 |
| SuN13 | having problems going to full screen mode when playing flash videos within web browser firefox 3 and Epiphany | 22:16 |
| Duesentrieb_ | same after reinstall | 22:16 |
| anirudh0 | Flannel: i meant that there was no problem with the repo as i have the same subversion | 22:17 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: Did you purge subversion and libsvn1? | 22:17 |
| Flannel | anirudh0: ah | 22:17 |
| nickrud | fp2007, then that is very strange. I've never seen those errors when trying to write a grub boot | 22:17 |
| Duesentrieb_ | uh, wait. | 22:17 |
| Duesentrieb_ | wtf? | 22:17 |
| anirudh0 | Duesentrieb_: ldd /usr/bin/svn | 22:17 |
| Duesentrieb_ | i still have a svn binary after removing the package? | 22:17 |
| Duesentrieb_ | where the hell does that come from? | 22:17 |
| picaso2 | i mean when i open terminal window and try to use some commands just get the bash message | 22:17 |
| Alpha | For some reason, when I have the sudo group, and I give the group NOPASSWD, it still asks... | 22:18 |
| Duesentrieb_ | this is probably the reason for the problem... | 22:18 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: dpkg -S /usr/bin/svn | 22:18 |
| fp2007 | nickrud ok, tell you what, lemme reboot using the ubuntu livecd,. im using a different variant,. perhaps the problem, if you are here when I get back will let you know, and thankyou for your help so far, very much appreciated. | 22:18 |
| anirudh0 | Duesentrieb_: which explains the failure..afaik dpkg doesn'nt overwrite existing stuff | 22:18 |
| jahnkeanater | what is the cool name for ubuntu 8.04 | 22:18 |
| Duesentrieb_ | anirudh0: yea | 22:18 |
| Flannel | Duesentrieb_: Did you build it from source at some point? | 22:18 |
| Flannel | jahnkeanater: Hardy Heron | 22:18 |
| corinth | Hardy Heron, jahnkeanater | 22:18 |
| Alpha | jahnkeanater: Hardy Heron, I think? | 22:18 |

| willwh | hi guys - I'm having some problem with tunneling a VNC connection over SSH | 22:22 |
| willwh | my VNC session works fine on the localy network | 22:22 |
| willwh | local* | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | jahnkeanater, Why do you want to delete your menu.lst ? | 22:23 |
| SuN13 | jahnkeanatar: maybe a gpedit gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:23 |
| adamb | what text based tool can i use to setup network, that it will save it to interfaces file? | 22:23 |
| willwh | but when I fire up putty from a remote location, tunnel, and then try to connect, I just get "the session closed unexpectdly" when I try to start up VNC on localhost:0 | 22:23 |
| pepperjack | willwh: port forwarding on your router ports 5000-5005 or whatever | 22:23 |
| SuN13 | i meant gksudo | 22:23 |
| willwh | pepperjack: I'm tunneling through SSH (port 22) | 22:23 |
| willwh | do I also need to forward VNC ports? | 22:23 |
| jahnkeanater | nvm i found a backup of my menu.lst | 22:23 |
| willwh | I thought the whole point of a tunnel with ssh was so you didn't need to do that pepperjack ? | 22:24 |
| pepperjack | willwh: no | 22:24 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i rename it in terminal | 22:24 |
| pepperjack | willwh: i mean no you dont need to | 22:24 |
| willwh | hmm, so any thoughts? | 22:24 |
| willwh | I am using the default vino in hardy | 22:24 |

| ndo | Hey all! :) I've a little question. Is it possible to convert your 32bit installation into an 64bit installation via the cli? plz. ty! ;) | 22:59 |
| magnetron | Gaming4JC: your speed with a modem is usually highly dependant on the quality of the phone lines. avoid any splitters/ cable extenders, just connect the modem straight to the phone jack with a shoirt cable | 22:59 |
| xett | ndo: no | 22:59 |

| natalisushka | erUSUL, How can I call it from rc.local? What is this file anyway? | 23:00 |
| xett | ndo: theyŕe completely different in the core, so they can´t just swap | 23:00 |
| ndo | xett: ty. so no other way than clean install?:) | 23:00 |
| xett | ndo: yeah | 23:00 |
| Gaming4JC | magnetron: I know, I usually get (at least) 24kbps, but now I have 4kbps. Is my system on some weird proxy or what? It works much faster on Windows soo... | 23:00 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: read the file and you will find out | 23:00 |

| Filled-Void | Anyone know what I could do to restore Sound, desktop effects on my hardy Desktop after a kernel update 24-18? | 23:01 |
| magnetron | Gaming4JC: you NEED to get rid of any cable splitters and extenders, untill you do this any other of my advices will be pointless. | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: yep | 23:02 |
| Gaming4JC | magnetron: There aren't any splitters etc. | 23:02 |
| Gaming4JC | direct phone line in lol | 23:02 |
| Duesentrieb_ | uh, why is "update firefox" grayed out? | 23:03 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, Do I have to prefix commands with sudo? | 23:03 |
| Gaming4JC | Also, it works wonderfully on linux, so this makes Ubuntu look a little bad at the moment... :( | 23:03 |
| Duesentrieb_ | i'd like to update to RC1. or do i need to wait until it hits ubuntu's repos? | 23:03 |
| Gaming4JC | Windows and some others work | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | natalisushka: no | 23:03 |
| Ahadiel | Duesentrieb_, You need to wait for it to hit the Ubuntu repos. | 23:04 |
| zm634 | hey guys, i just installed 8.04 and it worked fine. I have a 2 disk raid that i use to store media on (not the OS) and i had to install dmraid to access it. After installing that and a bunch of other stuff (mythtv mostly) i had to reboot and now it boots into this "(initramfs)" shell. What i does? | 23:04 |
| Duesentrieb_ | hrm, i hope that won't be too long | 23:04 |
| magnetron | Duesentrieb_: in ubuntu, the firefox update is handled by the ubuntu package system and not firefox. Ubuntu will only deploy versions that are adapted and tested for ubuntu, that's why there is no Fx RC1 yet for ubuntu | 23:04 |
| Duesentrieb_ | and i hope firebug will soon wor with 3.0 | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | Duesentrieb_, Which will probably be shortly after FF3 goes | 23:04 |
| fp2007 | what was that url again for fixing grub/ubuntu main page please? | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | final | 23:04 |
| * Duesentrieb_ thinks about downgrading ff | 23:05 | |
| magnetron | !grub > fp2007 (read PM from ubottu ) | 23:05 |
| Duesentrieb_ | magnetron: yes. which can be good, but can also be quite annyoing | 23:05 |
| natalisushka | My internet connection requires pptpd. everytime I login my computer I connect manually using my network-manager. How can I run this command automatically at start? What is the command line that does the trick and also uses username and password? | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | Duesentrieb_, you can have FF2 and 3 installed at the same time | 23:05 |
| Gaming4JC | Ok here's another thing, I have Ubuntu DVD and I'd like to install packages from it so I don't need to download everything from the internet. Is this possible, if so how? I alreadly tried sudo apt-cdrom | 23:05 |
| xenos | Jordan_U: thanx bro | 23:05 |
| ffm | Does the miniiso install just a cli system? | 23:05 |
| fp2007 | ah duh, didnt see it, hahaha, thanks guys | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | xenos, np | 23:06 |
| Duesentrieb_ | Jordan_U: yea, but that would probably get get on my nerves | 23:06 |
| magnetron | Duesentrieb_: this how it works anyway, i hope i answered your question about "why" | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | ffm, the mini iso can install any 'version' of ubuntu | 23:06 |
| Duesentrieb_ | magnetron: yes, it does | 23:06 |
| timbomb | i am trying to install a package but at the end (in terminal) it says <E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes> | 23:06 |
| ffm | Jordan_U: What does it to by default? | 23:06 |
| timbomb | any help on how to fix this? | 23:06 |
| ffm | !helpme | timbomb | 23:07 |
| ubottu | timbomb: 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 | 23:07 |

| m1dn1ght | Hey guys. Was just fiddling around with QGRUBEditor and was unhappy with the changes I made. I attempted to restore the old grub, but it said an error occurred and all the information disappeared. Tried opening QGRUBeditor again and now it's saying it can't find menu.lst etc. Now I'm scared of rebooting my system incase it won't let me boot. Is there any way to re-install my grub? | 23:07 |
| Gaming4JC | Hmm... | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | m1dn1ght, is there a backup of your menu.lst in /boot/grub ? | 23:08 |
| prodigy | m1dn1ght: can you manually find menu.lst? | 23:08 |
| Gaming4JC | here's something else, I installed ZSNES and there is no sound | 23:08 |
| Gaming4JC | also | 23:08 |
| m1dn1ght | Ah - in /boot/grub there is a menu.list_original, Should I rename that to menu.lst? | 23:08 |
| Gaming4JC | Some other applications (such as Wine) say there is no sound? | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | m1dn1ght, Yes | 23:09 |
| magicrobotmonkey | is there a way to remove pulseaudio completely from hardy? | 23:09 |
| prodigy | magicrobotmonkey: try uninstalling it from apt. | 23:09 |
| Gaming4JC | I have sound on bootup and in the system for critical stop etc. But nothing for any emus, games, and most programs? | 23:09 |
| magicrobotmonkey | i did and it said it would take ubuntu-desktop with it | 23:09 |
| Gaming4JC | help? :( | 23:09 |
| Flannel | magicrobotmonkey: Yes, it will, but that won't do anything bad. | 23:10 |
| prolefeed | that's fine magicrobotmonkey, i did it yesterday. it'll just take out the meta package for which it is a dependency | 23:10 |
| magicrobotmonkey | oh ok, wasn't sure | 23:10 |
| Gaming4JC | ... | 23:10 |
| m1dn1ght | That seems to have done the trick. Can now edit grub again with QGRUBeditor - Thanks guys. Probably should have thought to try that first :) | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | !ubuntu-desktop | magicrobotmonkey | 23:10 |
| ubottu | magicrobotmonkey: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 23:10 |
| zloog | Hi, I just installed a whole bunch of updates and now my desktop wallpaper has disappeared. All I see now is a solid color and the desktop cube with gears. Does anyone know what can cause that? When I try to use the normal method for changing the background, nothing happens. | 23:10 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:11 |
| Gaming4JC | No sound. | 23:11 |
| renfrew | is there a straightforward way to tell which packages/programs haven't been used in a while? | 23:11 |

| Gaming4JC | Anyone know of a program to tweak an external modem? | 23:16 |
| Starnestommy | nootrope: .deb | 23:17 |
| zloog | Malik_: Ubuntu keeps a large library of applications in the repos so that it is easy for you to install compatiable software | 23:17 |

| Gaming4JC | yes | 23:17 |

| Starnestommy | nootrope: if there is no .deb, use the .tar.gz | 23:17 |
| Malik_ | wat format are those in | 23:17 |
| Gaming4JC | magnetron: The Modem becomes idle, ah well gn ;) | 23:17 |
| Gaming4JC | thanks for trying | 23:17 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, Aha, that explains why I tried to edit interfaces to change MAC address, but ifconfig still showed me the previous one, while setting roaming to enabled! Am I right? | 23:17 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: .deb | 23:17 |
| zloog | Does anyone know what can cause a problem like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678547 ? | 23:17 |
| nootrope | Starnestommy, thanks. There's no .deb... | 23:17 |
| natalisushka | that explains why when* | 23:17 |
| Malik_ | how do u install.tar files | 23:17 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: it depends on the tar file | 23:17 |
| Gaming4JC | :Anyone: My Modem becomes idle it says as much on my gnome internet monitor. Is there a keep alive type program? | 23:18 |

| vietnameseloempi | hi | 23:18 |
| vietnameseloempi | anyone available for some support? | 23:18 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: normally, you just extract it then read its readme or install files | 23:18 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, Thanks for the Tip by the way :) | 23:18 |
| Gaming4JC | :( | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | !ask | vietnameseloempi | 23:18 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: source code has to be compiled and is often in tar files, or tar.gz or tar.bz2 | 23:18 |
| Malik_ | but for some u do need a compiler and where can i get a ocmplier to ocmpile them with | 23:18 |
| tim2 | zloog: try asking in #compiz | 23:18 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: install build-essential | 23:18 |
| tim2 | b5rb | 23:19 |
| ubottu | vietnameseloempi: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:19 |
| vietnameseloempi | i'm trying to get skype to work with my experimental OSS (because of X-fi) | 23:19 |
| Malik_ | is that a command? | 23:19 |
| otarid | Stroganoff: I don't see that option in alsamixer | 23:19 |
| erUSUL | Malik_: if you are new you shouldn't be compiling anything | 23:19 |
| natalisushka | erUSUL, By the way, when I add a fake MAC address, the old one is still stored, so when I remove the fake one from interfaces the old one will be back, right? | 23:19 |
| zloog | tim2: Thanks for the hint | 23:19 |
| Malik_ | o | 23:19 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: that installs make, gcc, and g++. The command to install that package is sudo apt-get install build-essential | 23:19 |
| GogDaen | how can i run 3D graphix in my VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter ??? | 23:19 |

| erUSUL | Gaming4JC: your cd is on the sources.list by default so if a package can be instaled from it; it will | 23:20 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: that command (sudo apt-get install) automatically downloads and installs the package | 23:21 |

| lavida_ | is it in some different then others? | 23:29 |
| Malik_ | so its: Airlink 101 AWLL3025V@ | 23:29 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: mostly configuration files | 23:29 |
| Gaming4JC | However, it was fast for some time, and got slower... sooo | 23:29 |
| Malik_ | mY BAD | 23:29 |
| Malik_ | thats not it | 23:29 |
| cmX | I am getting Buffer I/O error on device SR0 on kubuntu | 23:29 |
| Malik_ | its this: Airlink 101 AWLL3025V2 | 23:29 |
| cmX | i am trying to install it | 23:29 |
| xett | Gaming 4JC: what´s the browser? you using firefox? opera? | 23:29 |
| cmX | and it keeps giving me the I/O error | 23:29 |
| lavida_ | do i must put there conf files, or its just usually to put there? | 23:29 |
| Gaming4JC | xett: FireFox 3 beta 5 | 23:29 |
| Malik_ | so can some1 make sure fo rme | 23:30 |
| Gaming4JC | xett: No proxies, I checked. I also turned off automatic updates. :( | 23:30 |
| Starnestommy | Malik_: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101 | 23:30 |
| Gaming4JC | xett: Also my modem keeps saying "Idle". I've no idea why. :( | 23:30 |
| knight666 | oh oh oh oh oh | 23:31 |
| knight666 | this is great! | 23:31 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: it depends on the program. Per-user config files are kept in hidden directories or filed in each user's home directory | 23:31 |
| knight666 | firefox can't download anything! | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | !dialup | Gaming4JC | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Gaming4JC: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 23:31 |
| Malik_ | wats a cheap card that is completly supported by ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| knight666 | if i click a link and select "save file as", firefox crashes | 23:31 |
| Starnestommy | knight666: did you recently make any changes to the system before this happened? | 23:31 |
| Indy | Hello! I'm looking for a good calender program for Ubuntu | 23:31 |
| ripdisk | dude, something retarded as hell is happening | 23:31 |
| knight666 | Starnestommy: the only thing i did was update my packages | 23:31 |
| === millers is now known as millers-work | ||
| Gaming4JC | erUSUL: I alreadly know how to connect. It's just degrading on speed all of a sudden. | 23:31 |
| ripdisk | some of my keys don't work in x anymore | 23:31 |
| lavida_ | i want to make one config file by my self, and do i need to put it in etc dir for some reasons? | 23:31 |

| ripdisk | my nmhjklyuio keys in gnome are replaced by numbers when i type | 23:32 |
| ripdisk | and i can't see a reason why | 23:32 |
| knight666 | ripdisk: that's a keyboard setting | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | Gaming4JC: something on the logs?? /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog | 23:32 |
| gordonjcp | ripdisk: numlock? | 23:32 |
| ripdisk | i'm running irssi right now and it's working just fine | 23:32 |
| xett | Gaming4JC: i´ve actually been having some pretty major issues with firefox beta5 today, i think there may have been a dodgy update, so i´m reinstalling... | 23:32 |
| knight666 | i have to set it to macintosh | 23:32 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: it depends on which program it's for. Usuaully, it should be in a hidden place in your user's home directory | 23:32 |
| gordonjcp | ripdisk: on a laptop? | 23:32 |
| knight666 | xett: what are your issues? | 23:32 |
| phoenixz | Im configuring an NFS on ubuntu but where is the exportfs command??? | 23:32 |
| Starnestommy | knight666: I think the recent kernel update may be related | 23:32 |
| knight666 | Starnestommy: what can i do about it? | 23:33 |
| ripdisk | holhowfuytguk'l'[po6lj3f | 23:33 |
| ripdisk | sdf | 23:33 |
| ripdisk | 66*s s6rry | 23:33 |
| Gaming4JC | xett: Interesting. Mine might be the same problem then... :-/ | 23:33 |
| lavida_ | its for changing mac address for my wireless card | 23:33 |
| knight666 | Starnestommy: because i can't play diablo ii either :( wine doesn't recognize the disk anymore | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | phoenix24_, Try running it, it's there on my machine | 23:33 |
| xett | Knight666: crashing, a dead tab that won´t go away, rendering incorrectly, no file edit tools etc, tonnes of stuff | 23:33 |
| Gaming4JC | but still | 23:33 |
| Wicky656 | anyone using likewise-open for authenticaiton? | 23:33 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: how are you setting that? | 23:33 |
| knight666 | xett: i have: no more bookmarks, crashing when downloading something, awesome bar doesn't update anymore and adblock plus doesn't block :\ | 23:34 |
| xett | Gaming4JC: i´m reinstalling just now, iĺl let you know what happens for me... | 23:34 |
| knight666 | how can i update firefox? | 23:34 |
| Gaming4JC | I tried a download manager and it said maxium connection for me was 0.8kbps. Insane slow speed, ok. :) | 23:34 |
| xett | knight666: i got the adblock too, so yeah | 23:34 |
| lavida_ | Starnestommy: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | knight666: wait till rc1 hit main repos or backports | 23:34 |
| ripdisk | ok | 23:34 |
| ripdisk | i fixed it | 23:34 |
| xett | i went into synaptic and uninstalled it, now i´m reinstalling | 23:34 |
| knight666 | erUSUL: i can't download it or something? | 23:34 |
| ripdisk | it was something stupid | 23:34 |
| lavida_ | Starnestommy: then put sudo chmod +x changeMAC | 23:35 |
| ripdisk | sorry for the waste of your time | 23:35 |
| ripdisk | thanks though | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | phoenix24_, make sure you have the nfs-kernel-server package installed as well | 23:35 |
| lavida_ | Starnestommy: sudo update-rc.d ChangeMAC defaults | 23:35 |
| xett | when will it be available on the main repos | 23:35 |
| xett | ? | 23:35 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: add the commands to /etc/rc.local before the "exit 0" with the "sudo" dropped from each command | 23:35 |
| knight666 | wait a minute! | 23:35 |
| knight666 | i have 0 bytes available on /! | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | xett, My guess is shortly after FF3 goes final | 23:36 |
| cmX | I am getting Buffer I/O error on device SR0 while trying to install kubuntu, can anyone help me? Its hella annoying | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | knight666: !@#!@# | 23:36 |
| Starnestommy | knight666: filesystem full or corrupt? | 23:36 |
| lavida_ | Starnestommy: huh but i didnt use exit 0 :D | 23:36 |
| knight666 | Starnestommy: full because of torrents downloading to my desktop is my guess :\ | 23:36 |
| m_newton_ | What are good connect to ftp in windows?? | 23:36 |
| jaysonsantos | Hello people, Can change the version of Direct3D HAL on cedega to Run Prince of Persia ? | 23:37 |
| knight666 | no, wait | 23:37 |
| knight666 | Starnestommy: i just deleted something and i still have 0 bytes available :\ | 23:37 |
| Gaming4JC | Hmm... this is sounding like a virus? O_o | 23:37 |
| yell0w | m_newton_: what's your question again ? | 23:38 |
| a13x | I am trying to install ubuntu server but when i run CD checking tool it tells me that some random file is corrupted and it is different every time. i tried different cds, cd recorders, cd roms but nothing helps | 23:38 |
| m_newton_ | What are good connect to ftp in windows?? | 23:38 |
| Tstantonfsu | is there any screen recorders and video editers that work with ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| cmX | I am getting Buffer I/O error on device SR0 while trying to install kubuntu, can anyone help me? Its hella annoying | 23:38 |
| yell0w | m_newton_: what do you mean ? | 23:38 |
| Jowi | knight666, "sudo apt-get clean" should free up some space | 23:38 |
| a13x | i even did multiple redownloads | 23:38 |
| Gaming4JC | m_newton_: This isn't a Windows support channel lol. CoreFTP and FileZilla are good. | 23:38 |
| erUSUL | cmX: seems like bad hardware or a kernel bug nothing easily avoidable | 23:38 |
| yell0w | m_newton_: if you're looking for an ftp client i'd suggest filezilla | 23:38 |
| knight666 | jowi: thanks! | 23:38 |
| knight666 | wooo i fixed it :D | 23:39 |
| knight666 | but that's really annoying :\ | 23:39 |
| xett | Gaming4JC: probably just teething issues... if anyone remembers IE7? i´d say this is the same, but maybe this will actually get fixed | 23:39 |
| Jowi | 'night all | 23:39 |
| knight666 | i gotta say, windows handles this better! | 23:39 |
| lavida_ | what mean init.d dir in etc dir? | 23:39 |
| m_newton_ | well in ubuntu i have my own ftp server running, how do i connect to it, in ubuntu i can connect using conect to server | 23:39 |
| lavida_ | and what mean .d at the end of dir name? | 23:39 |
| knight666 | why is there no "OMG YOU HAVE LESS THAN X MB OF FREE SPACE THIS IS LIKE TOTALLY NOT GOOD" message in ubuntu? | 23:39 |
| m_newton_ | filezilla does not work | 23:39 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: that contains some startup scripts. Tha .d means that it's a configuration directory | 23:39 |
| m_newton_ | !caps knight666 | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Factoid caps knight666 not found | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | cmX, It sounds like a possible hardware problem with your CD ROM drive, or a scratched CD | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | knight666, Did you delete something that is still open in some application? | 23:40 |
| m_newton_ | !caps |knight666 | 23:40 |
| ubottu | knight666: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:40 |
| yell0w | lavida_: directories can have any name, as do files | 23:40 |
| SnakeArt | Hello.I'm trying to configure my canon mp210 printer on hardy, but I've received an error "unable to open parallel port device file: permission denied". what could be a cause? | 23:40 |
| yell0w | technically | 23:40 |
| knight666 | honestly, would you have read it if i didn't cap it? | 23:40 |
| lavida_ | does .d telling something to ubuntu, or just its for us users to know whats inthere? | 23:40 |
| Gaming4JC | xett: Yes, I hope so. But in the mean time I still need some "keep alive" program. My modem keeps becoming idle after I dial-up... :( | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | knight666, There is for me, it pops up a little notification widget in the bottom right | 23:40 |
| Starnestommy | knight666: yes | 23:40 |
| knight666 | Jordan_U: i didn't get any :( | 23:40 |
| Gaming4JC | xett: Currently I'm on Windows because I couldn't connect here on Ubuntu. | 23:41 |

| petenix | I need to unzoom | 23:41 |
| Tstantonfsu | is there any screen recorders and video editers that work with ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | knight666, I am having connection problems, so with regards to your deleted file not freeing up space, do any programs have an active file handle to it ( like your torrent program if it's one of your aforementioned torrents ) ? | 23:42 |
| xett | Gaming4JC: that would suggest a greater issue. is this isolated to the browser? or is it across all internet apps? | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | SnakeArt: are you on the lp group check with "id" | 23:42 |
| lavida_ | i cant find in manual whats mean update-rc.d | 23:42 |

| abyss | lo anyone can help me that gxine reconize my WinTV HVR-1300? | 23:42 |
| knight666 | Jordan_U: is there a command to checking such a thing? | 23:42 |
| petenix | anyone help me to unzoom? | 23:42 |
| knight666 | or do i do "jsof | grep"? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | knight666, lsof | grep /path/to/file | 23:42 |
| Starnestommy | lavida_: it updates the rc<number>.d directories in /etc to change what init scripts are run when the system is run | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | Tstantonfsu: recordmaydesktop xvidcap cinelerra kino avidemux etc etc | 23:42 |

| Tstantonfsu | srry :x | 23:56 |
| Flannel | Tstantonfsu: of course it is. Shutting down randomly does sound like a hardware thing though. If you're worried about it, eitehr reinstall windows, or completely wipe the harddrive, before sending it in | 23:56 |
| Tstantonfsu | how do i complety wipe it | 23:56 |
| Gin | Tstantonfsu, or call MS Support Center ;) | 23:56 |
| drobot | does anyone know how to get my wireless working on ubuntu? I would be very grateful. | 23:56 |
| Flannel | Tstantonfsu: Boot a liveCD, and use shred | 23:56 |

| Tstantonfsu | they will reinstall vista or keep it wiped? | 23:57 |
| Tstantonfsu | cuz i perfer ubuntu personly | 23:57 |
| Flannel | Tstantonfsu: "sudo shred -n 1 /dev/sda" *NO ONE ELSE DO THIS* that'll erase your first harddrive | 23:57 |
| Gin | Tstantonfsu, then wipe Vista :\ | 23:57 |
| Flannel | Tstantonfsu: they probably wont even touch the OS | 23:57 |
| Tstantonfsu | alright | 23:57 |

| tj83 | Tstantonfsu fine thanx | 23:58 |
| Tstantonfsu | yes not as much though | 23:59 |
| SnakeArt | erUSUL: maybe you know the way to install 32bit drivers on 64bit os? I've tried to install mp210 drivers on my 64bit hardy but It's still not work. | 23:59 |
| tj83 | Gin.. you should try using noapic with grub | 23:59 |
| Gin | Tstantonfsu, hardware issues it seems. | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | SnakeArt: no; i dunno sorry | 23:59 |
| Tstantonfsu | like it cna run for say 3 hours then it shuts down and wont turn back on unless i let it sit for 10 mins | 23:59 |
