| aldarsior | Okay do you know how to use your virtual terminals? | 00:48 |
| tj13820 | gerardoj: a server "serves" files, services, and other things. i desktop PC does not. it is standard. servers usually have DHCP, BIND, APACHE, MYSQL, FTP, PHP etc. | 00:49 |
| Efo | Mhh.. I dont think I know how.. | 00:49 |
| yell0w | gerardoj: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition | 00:49 |
| aldarsior | Okay | 00:49 |
| aldarsior | well first of all, type "lsmod | grep nvidia" into a terminal and tell me if it prints anything back | 00:49 |
| gerardoj | ok I got that, but my question is more in the hardware side, I mean cause I can buy a desktop that will serve same as if I buy a real server right? | 00:50 |
| Efo | nothing | 00:50 |
| tj13820 | gerardoj: yes, if you have ethernet, HDD space, and a good processor and ram, yes. | 00:50 |
| aldarsior | how about "sudo modprobe nvidia"? | 00:50 |
| tj13820 | gerardoj: also, the more you do, the more the "server" software will require underneath of the HOst operating system | 00:51 |

| Dot2Kode | What do you guys recommend for backing up / Achieving mp3's and other files to dvdrs? | 00:52 |
| tj13820 | gerardoj: does that answer your question? | 00:52 |
| aldarsior | you need to remove any instances you have of linux-restricted-modules | 00:53 |
| gerardoj | tj13820: yeah, I was planning to get the HP Media Vault Server, but for that price I can get a desktop, which one would u recommend? | 00:53 |
| gerardoj | http://gizmodo.com/373711/hp-media-vault-2100-linux-server-reviewed-one-kick+ass-little-penguin | 00:53 |
| aldarsior | I think you can use synaptic to do that, search for "linux-restricted-modules" and remove all of them | 00:53 |
| zenkk | So Firefox 3 RC2 is already out and we're still using Beta 5. Does anyone know when RC2 will be in repos? | 00:54 |
| aldarsior | it will probably remove your nvidia drivers in the process. after it's done, tell it to install the nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx) and it should install the latest version of linux-restricted modules | 00:54 |
| tj13820 | gerardoj: i have used a Compaq net PC, with a 933Mhz processor, and 512Mb 333mhz ram. for my server for 2 years till i upgraded. it worked fine. | 00:54 |
| Efo | Should I get rid of envyng | 00:54 |
| tj13820 | gerardoj: also, linux is minimal, so use only the services you need on the server. use a firewall, and secure your webserver | 00:55 |
| gerardoj | tj3820: got it, thanks!! | 00:55 |
| con-man | how do I check which audio card is default | 00:55 |

| con-man | there has to be a way to change the card in alsamixer | 00:57 |
| aldarsior | con-man: there is | 00:57 |
| naenae | well open up a private chat then | 00:57 |
| aldarsior | con-man: it's like, -c1 or something | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aldarsior That kind of humor is lost when using irc | 00:58 |
| aldarsior | con-man: try -c1, -c2, etc. | 00:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | naenae It is for your safety and the benefit of others that we ask you to keep it here | 00:58 |

| tomtommy | !check free space | 01:25 |
| aldarsior | WIDESPREADpanic: it used to do that to me when I had non-standard repos configured. | 01:25 |

| xenos | hmmm, i just installed kde4. i logged out of xfce and it brought me to the terminal (no gui). i'm on irssi. did "whereis kde4" said: /etc/kde4/ | 01:25 |
| Jordan_U | Vicfred, Yes, it can be done with VLC and mplayer and probably others though I can't remember off hand how | 01:26 |
| xenos | so do i get kde4 going | 01:26 |
| WIDESPREADpanic | aldarsior did u update the sources.list or did u do it with GUI? | 01:26 |
| tomtommy | Jack_Sparrow: am I safe to delete everything in /var/cache/apt/archives ? | 01:26 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: you wont be able to delete from your user area, go to terminal and delete with sudo | 01:26 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: anything in there can be re-downloaded from the repositories | 01:26 |
| aldarsior | WIDESPREADpanic: I think the GUI works fine... | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tomtommy except lock and the folder named partial.. yes | 01:26 |
| tomtommy | musikgoat: safe to delete everything inside /var/cache/apt/archives? | 01:26 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: listen to Jack_Sparrow | 01:26 |

| con-man | aldarsior: good good its my audigy 4 thats my card | 01:27 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: there is a file called lock and a folder called partial | 01:27 |
| tomtommy | musikgoat: can you translate to me what he said in layman terms? | 01:27 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: don't delete those | 01:27 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: everything else is ok to delete | 01:27 |

| moDumass | googling | 01:28 |
| tomtommy | musikgoat: so I dont delete lock file and the folder called partial? | 01:28 |
| Jordan_U | tomtommy, Safer to just run "sudo apt-get clean" | 01:28 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: correct | 01:28 |
| moDumass | tried forsight earlier and that was a no go | 01:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | moDumass Keep waiting | 01:28 |
| tomtommy | Jordan_U: is running "sudo apt-get clean the same? | 01:28 |
| moDumass | will do | 01:28 |
| moDumass | i need a squeezy toy | 01:29 |
| con-man | aldarsior: I could always reinstall Ubuntu, but thats like going after a fly with a mallet | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | tomtommy, Yes | 01:29 |
| aldarsior | con-man: yeah.... | 01:29 |
| tomtommy | Jordan_U: thanks thats easier for me | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | tomtommy, np | 01:29 |
| tomtommy | Jordan_U: besides office, what else can I remove to free up space? | 01:29 |

| aldarsior | because I don't see a / ... | 01:32 |
| tomtommy | aldarsior: yes | 01:32 |
| Quintin | tomtommy: Doesn't look like it is mounted. IF you open it in nautilus it will say at the status bar how much free space is on device | 01:32 |
| aldarsior | AH | 01:32 |

| UBUNTUJAY123 | how i do it | 01:33 |
| aldarsior | what do you want to do? | 01:33 |
| Quintin | UBUNTUJAY123: don't ask "is it possible", ask "how do I", because nearly anything is possible with linux. Just plug them in!! | 01:33 |
| aldarsior | I can tell you how to control the volume on different cards | 01:33 |
| tomtommy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17767/ <-- this is the whole "df -h" output. WHat does it mean? How much free space I have? | 01:33 |
| aldarsior | I've never tried outputting different things to them | 01:33 |
| tomtommy | jrib: but thats the whole output given. why does it say 16MB? | 01:33 |
| aldarsior | but I'm sure it's possible | 01:33 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | ok i try it | 01:34 |
| aldarsior | tomtommy: I think it means you're lying to us | 01:34 |

| aldarsior | christ | 01:34 |
| tomtommy | aldarsior: why are you saying such things.... I promise, that is the output given when I type "df -h" | 01:34 |
| aldarsior | did you try with mpg321? | 01:34 |
| con-man | aldarsior: whats that? | 01:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dtolj great | 01:34 |

| WIDESPREADpanic | hi guys | 01:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greg_ Did you look up your specific camera in the supported hardware page of the webcam wiki | 01:35 |
| aldarsior | tomtommy: more to the point, it says you're running out of memory | 01:35 |
| tomtommy | aldarsior: well thats not my problem and that doesnt give you the right to falsely accuse me of lying :( | 01:35 |
| musikgoat | tomtommy: there should always be a "Mounted on" with a / somewhere | 01:35 |
| tomtommy | aldarsior: I got it from pendrivelinux.com | 01:36 |
| tomtommy | musikgoat: well im new., what can I say? I just typed df -h and thats the output I got | 01:36 |
| m_newton_ | How do you run ubuntu 8.04 with all the stuff you already have of a usb??? | 01:36 |
| aldarsior | con-man: it's a console MP3 player | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tomtommy Have you booted the old hard drive os since you did the install... just to make sure you didnt make a mistake that installed to the hd | 01:36 |
| con-man | aldarsior: ah I See | 01:36 |
| aldarsior | so it might be more likely to report errors... | 01:37 |
| aldarsior | brb | 01:37 |
| tomtommy | musikgoat: maybe because im running this version its different. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ | 01:37 |

| musikgoat | maybe i'm wrong, but it seems you are still running your OS off the CD | 01:38 |
| tomtommy | Jack_Sparrow: i think whats causing everyone confusion is the fact that im running a Hardy USB version. not the proper HDD version. I got it from: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ | 01:39 |

| musikgoat | Jack_Sparrow: he seemed uninterested in giving that output | 01:48 |
| tinin | rushin I don't know how to start a graphical application then, rushin, I'd install icewm at least (it is a very lightwight and small desktop) | 01:48 |
| Dr-Willi | Im using LinuxMint right now. :) | 01:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | musikgoat yea.. I know.. especially where I snuck in the lsb_release -a at the end | 01:48 |
| SeaPhor | kitche, File sent with Microsoft Word 2000 e-mail attachments; often named "Oledata.mso;" contains information that allows the attachment to be rendered within the e-mail message. | 01:48 |
| rushin | is that going to work for graphical application ? | 01:48 |
| tinin | rushin connect to server? what server? | 01:48 |
| kitche | SeaPhor: maybe openoffice writer can open it not sure though | 01:49 |
| musikgoat | hehe | 01:49 |
| rushin | i want to connect to my college server | 01:49 |
| dabud | i have had some trouble with ntfs-3g somehow the computer? switched names for my 2 drives and has denied me permission on one of them can anybody give me an idea where i might begin to solve this problem? | 01:49 |
| loner269 | my ce 7.4 is going to 7.10 but its takeing forever lol | 01:49 |
| mshanks | what does it mean when you open a video file but it won't play? (it shows a frame if I drag the timer to it, but it won't actually play the film) | 01:49 |
| SeaPhor | kitche, lol, thats why i was hoping calc was on,,, thats what he does :-) | 01:49 |
| Bodsda | !ot | loner269 | 01:49 |
| ubottu | loner269: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 01:49 |
| Dr-Willi | dabud, install and run the 'ntfs-config' tool and check to allow users full access.. perhaps.. | 01:50 |
| tinin | I don't know what you want to do, icewm will help you if you need graphical applications rushin | 01:50 |
| musikgoat | mshanks: could be that the file is not supported, missing codecs possibly | 01:50 |
| jdwilm | How can i start a second xserver using a config file not located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 01:50 |
| dabud | k dr-Willi | 01:50 |
| loner269 | so what i cant talk in here now? | 01:50 |
| nentis | is there a more specific channel for Hardy kvm help? | 01:50 |
| rushin | uhm | 01:51 |
| rushin | is there any way that i can run using X11 | 01:51 |
| Bodsda | loner269, you can talk in here only if related to a support question/answer otherwise #ubuntu-offtopic please | 01:51 |
| mshanks | musikgoat, ok, once I know what codec the movie was encoded with, how do I see if I have that codec? | 01:51 |
| kitche | rushin: install xorg package | 01:51 |
| === codercotton is now known as codercotton|away | ||
| tinin | run what rushin | 01:51 |
| rushin | because xterm is giving me error msg like ""Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display"" | 01:51 |
| rushin | X11 | 01:51 |
| SeaPhor | kitche, this site says only ms office and outlook can do it, but i know ubuntu and OO are better than that ;-) | 01:51 |
| kitche | rushin: well xterm is a xorg application | 01:52 |
| SeaPhor | kitche, http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/mso | 01:52 |
| tinin | xterm is a graphical application | 01:52 |
| tinin | so you need a desktop | 01:52 |
| Dr-Willi | rushin, you need to either ssh -X to the remote, or set up the proper DISPLAY, variables | 01:52 |
| tinin | if you are going to use a console, you don't need xterm | 01:52 |
| rushin | how | 01:52 |
| Dr-Willi | rushin, depending on what you are doing exactly. Perhaps rephrase/clarify the question. | 01:53 |
| rushin | i tried using console | 01:53 |
| rushin | but it gave me same error | 01:53 |
| rushin | i want to connect to a server and use graphical application | 01:53 |
| rushin | so i tried to run xterm | 01:53 |
| musikgoat | mshanks: there is a single package that contains alot, ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:54 |
| rushin | and ssh rushin@<servername> | 01:54 |
| Dr-Willi | rushin, in a terminal, 'ssh -X remote.machine.ip.orname' then run the app... | 01:54 |
| rushin | but when i connected to it...and try to run firefox..it said "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display" | 01:54 |
| Dr-Willi | rushin, the -X is the impiorntant bit. | 01:54 |
| tinin | and doing that on a desktop too, I guess rushin | 01:55 |
| kitche | rushin: ok run ssh -Y <remote host> you could use -X but I like -Y myself | 01:55 |
| Dr-Willi | I thought -Y was for local networks. :) but ive used both. | 01:55 |
| 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 ? | 01:55 |
| rushin | oh | 01:55 |
| m_newton | omg, VLC is awesome, if you want to know how to get free streams of music directly from VLC... PM me (This bypasses all the school/work filtering) | 01:55 |
| rushin | ssh -x <hostname> | 01:55 |
| kitche | Dr-Willi: nope one is just trusted the other is untrusted | 01:55 |
| Dr-Willi | rushin, its -X wuth UPPER case X | 01:55 |
| dabud | i get this msg | 01:56 |
| rushin | oh | 01:56 |
| dabud | An error occured when trying to configure | 01:56 |

| m_newton | <eraldo> do you wish to know how to edit file via terminal | 01:58 |
| fdhdh | is there a CD with ubuntu packages on it related to development in general | 01:59 |
| MOD-Blake | Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20) | 01:59 |
| Bodsda | i only know of aptoncd whichisnt dev but has packages | 01:59 |
| selocol | almost 50% of the time when i log out, i get a black screen instead of the login window. all keys are also ineffective. | 01:59 |
| fdhdh | i was surprised the hardy heron cd I downloaded didnt have hardly any dev utils | 01:59 |
| selocol | how do i fix this issue? | 01:59 |
| eraldo | m_newton: in nautilus ...when you rightclick on a file and then go to properties... that's where the notes tab is | 02:01 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, why would a desktop release intended for average users contain dev tools/files? | 02:01 |
| Bodsda | eraldo, you add things by typing in the big white space on that tab | 02:01 |
| matt444 | when I try to print in Evince and i select the printer I want to use, the "Print" button greys out!!! What could be causing this. I can print test pages with the Administration > Printing application but I can't print from Evince or Epiphany. what is causing this problem!! | 02:01 |
| fdhdh | i dont know, if they have to compile anything that isnt a packaged bundle | 02:01 |
| m_newton | eraldo, ya but what do you want to do | 02:01 |
| anonimus | hi, i have problem transfering files on my usb, i find it with fdisk -l , then mount it, but it always get "Permision denied" msg, on windows works fine.. | 02:02 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, there isnt much space in the iso for things like that, due to its userfriendly (ish) nature | 02:02 |
| aldarsior | fdhdh: then they can install gcc ? | 02:02 |
| eraldo | Bodsda: -.- sure but how can I look at or edit text like this with the command line | 02:02 |
| Bodsda | eraldo, do you mean, how to add text to the note section of a file? no idea | 02:02 |
| aldarsior | fdhdh: if you're going to compile custom versions of things I think you ought to be able to type 'apt-get install gcc' | 02:02 |
| Bodsda | via cli | 02:02 |
| eraldo | Bodsda: yep that is what I am looking for | 02:03 |
| Ahadiel | fdhdh, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 02:03 |

| Flannel | slyboots: New kernels don't remove the old ones, unless you manually removed the packages, they're still there. They may not be visible on grub due to a limitation on the number of kernels listed however. You can change that number. | 02:14 |

I was working on replacing grub, including the missing /boot/grub folder, I pretty much did this, and grub even comes up in the beginning, but for some reason, no matter what kernel I choose to boot, it says, cannot be found, or something along those lines. anyone have a clue whats going on? | 02:37 |
| Mr_Bad_News | all i wanted was to get virtualbox running | 02:37 |

| Dr_Willis | Mr_Bad_News, depends on what you are doing. VirtualBox has improved lately - where i use it more then vmware. but the next vmware releases - has some neat new features. | 02:38 |
| WootOnLinux | Badnews: go with vmware | 02:38 |
| WootOnLinux | its more versatile, virtual box is easier, but its worth it to install vmware | 02:38 |
| WootOnLinux | i was in ur position a few wks ago. | 02:38 |
| bazhang_ | xborgy, is this known to work? | 02:39 |

| Cary_Jebus | I downloaded a theme but when i install it i get a error | 02:43 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i got mine from a friend though | 02:43 |
| WootOnLinux | deeperror u see booths at the mall , they let u try it | 02:43 |

| NSsmiles | brb | 02:43 |

| bazhang_ | xborgy, trying to get more info to help you | 02:44 |
| WootOnLinux | Does ANYONE know if u can recieve an AIM offline message while using pidgin?? | 02:44 |
| cowbud | Morgie, and is it directly connected to the ehternet device then? | 02:44 |
| Starnestommy | WootOnLinux: I think so | 02:44 |
| Y-Town | Which would be the better choice for a small home network: ProFTP, PureFTP, WU FTP? looking to be able to let customers see pictures and share documents with friends | 02:44 |
| josef | seaphor i mean do you know the boot option to read sata harddisk | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | WootOnLinux, that would seem to be a rather basic feature. I think its doable. | 02:44 |
| Morgie | cowbud, not now, currently using the line for this compy | 02:44 |
| cowbud | Morgie, but the other one is booted up? | 02:45 |
| xborgy | bazhang_: if the default trash icons on the desktop can change from empty to full icons when its sopose too wouldnt you think you can change them icons? i mean for sure you could i mean. | 02:45 |
| WootOnLinux | Starnestommy: U are a pidgin user and u recieve offline msgs? | 02:45 |
| Morgie | yea | 02:45 |
| deeperror | WootOnLinux, i think i get them sometimes i'm hardly offline so not really sure ha | 02:45 |
| SeaPhor | josef, does it not see your HDD? | 02:45 |
| cowbud | Morgie, ok do you know how to open gnome-terminal so you get a command prompt? | 02:45 |
| Morgie | oh yeah\ | 02:45 |
| xborgy | i changed the icon but thats all you can do is change it to a empty or a full icon. | 02:45 |
| Cary_Jebus | is packages.ubuntu.com down? | 02:45 |
| WootOnLinux | deeperror : really? wtf did i do somethign wrong on my computer? | 02:45 |
| cowbud | what does ifconfig tell you? | 02:45 |
| Starnestommy | WootOnLinux: I think so. Do you want me to try sending you one as a test? | 02:45 |
| WootOnLinux | Starnestommy: yes thatd be great!!! hold on let me pm u | 02:45 |
| SeaPhor | josef, it sees your sata in gutsy, that part should be no different | 02:46 |
| xborgy | now however i beleive i might just beable to find a Widget trashcan icon that would work for me.If there is one. | 02:46 |
| Morgie | i have my terminal window open right now | 02:46 |
| fp2007 | hey is there any other irc chat rooms that specialize in ubuntu/grub help that I can go ask in? I know there are different ones for different countries, unfortunately, this is the only one I could connect to | 02:46 |
| cowbud | Morgie, what happens when you type ifconfig? | 02:46 |
| xborgy | either a Widget or Desklet. | 02:47 |
| josef | seaphor ubuntu xubuntu and fedora doesnt see partition only on kubuntu gutsy i can install only with the option that i showed too you | 02:47 |
| Morgie | it tells me all the info i should get | 02:47 |
| bazhang_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=524965&page=2 xborgy | 02:47 |
| cowbud | Morgie, you are going to have to provide a little bit more info if you want help not just the bare minimum | 02:47 |
| slyboots | Cool, a reboot fixed it after I installed the new modules into the kernel :) | 02:48 |
| Morgie | ok i forgot what it is to send the link for the codes | 02:48 |
| SeaPhor | then add both options, the noapic and the vga=771, and in that order | 02:48 |
| slyboots | I have wireless again, and now it does not cause a kernel panic when rubbing kismet :) | 02:48 |

| SeaPhor | josef, plz let me know, if not here, on #SeaPhor | 02:51 |

| josef | seaphor ok | 02:51 |
| lesjohn | i'm trying to convert .wav to .ogg with soundconverter. when i use "soundconverter -b" from the command line, it converts at 112 kbps, but when i use the interface, i get 192 kbps. does anyone know how to set the rate from the command line? | 02:51 |
| willwh | I haven't got it to work - assuming it's just my syntax | 02:51 |
| bazhang_ | deeperror, I am happy to do the searching :) | 02:51 |
| Leefmc | Question: Ok, so i've used Ubuntu for a week now (all offline heh), and i love it. Aside from a few problems (all surrounding my mx revolution) its a great system. One question though, i was told not to install software by itself, in favor of the package manager if it exists in there; However, the package manager seems to update slow as tar! Why is this? And what if you _need_ new software? (eg: Blender 246 or FireFox3) | 02:51 |
| deeperror | haha yea i do too | 02:51 |
| willwh | Leefmc: it shouldn't be slow? | 02:52 |
| fp2007 | hey guys, having a problem with ubuntu/grub, earlier I lost my /boot/grub directory, it has been replaced, as well as now when I boot up, it shows me the grub menu, but when I select the kernel I want (any of them), it gives me an error that it cannot find them/block error or something, any ideas? | 02:52 |
| musikgoat | Leefmc: mx revolution problems could be fixed with btnx | 02:52 |
| Bodsda | bazhang_, doin the search is okay but i wish peopledid *some* research themselves before asking | 02:52 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: you could use a nearer repo..and if you _need_ new stuff, then by all means get it | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | musikgoat, Nope, but thats another story :) | 02:52 |
| bazhang_ | Bodsda, then we would have nothing to do :) | 02:52 |
| spiderskull | fp2007: far-fetched possibility, but do you have an older (>=2yrs) motherboard with a hard drive bigger than 130GB? | 02:53 |
| SeaPhor | Bodsda, what's the fun in that, lol | 02:53 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Well.. no? I mean, is there a reason for it being so slow? | 02:53 |
| Bodsda | bazhang_, heh,.,. im in a lazy mood ;~) | 02:53 |
| cowbud | where's my BOOZE | 02:53 |

| cowbud | bazhang_, no shit | 02:53 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: you mean gnome login or usplash boot | 02:53 |
| willwh | Leefmc: it shoulnd't be slow - what is slow? the download? | 02:53 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Well i was specifically told it was best to use the manager.. and not knowing the reason for this, i figured i would find out why it was advised to _not_ install my own software | 02:54 |
| bazhang_ | cowbud, watch the cursing | 02:54 |
| fp2007 | spiderskull: no I dont, the motherboard is older than 2years, but I only have a 60gb and a 30gb on my system, the ubuntu is on the 60gigger by itself | 02:54 |

| Leefmc | willwh, The update. FireFox RC1 hasbeen out for a couple weeks, Blender246 has been out for.. god knows how long | 02:54 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: your own software does'nt update | 02:54 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Not sure, the default | 02:54 |
| Cary_Jebus | gnome | 02:54 |
| willwh | Leefmc: that is down to the ubuntu release cycle | 02:54 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: there is a program called gtktwekui | 02:54 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Ah, and thats it? | 02:54 |
| spiderskull | fp2007: ah, nevermind -- I had an issue with GRUB earlier because my laptop motherboard only supported up to 137 GB, and /boot/grub was in the block beyond that | 02:54 |
| Cary_Jebus | ok let me search it | 02:54 |
| willwh | Leefmc: if you want more up to date packages, I'd suggest another distro ;) | 02:54 |
| SeaPhor | bazhang_, yeah, and you wouldn't get paid! oh, wait a minute,,, nvm.. let em search lol | 02:54 |
| willwh | if you don't want to wait for stable releases to be merged in | 02:55 |
| bazhang_ | SeaPhor, :) | 02:55 |
| Cary_Jebus | no matches :\ | 02:55 |
| cowbud | bazhang_, off topic | 02:55 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: may have security holes..but thats true for any ubuntu package as well | 02:55 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Wait.. so you're telling me ubuntu's package manager will always say FireFox Beta5? yeesh heh | 02:55 |
| spiderskull | willwh: aren't there different package repositories with more cutting edge software? | 02:55 |
| willwh | no, I didn't say that | 02:55 |
| willwh | you can use the Ibis repos | 02:55 |
| Cary_Jebus | nore on gogle | 02:55 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, this is a support channel if you dont need support or your not going to helpothers please be quiet or leave | 02:55 |
| * Joeb454 needs sleep | 02:55 | |
| willwh | that is the development kernel | 02:55 |
| musikgoat | Leefmc: you can allow for proposed updates | 02:55 |
| bazhang_ | cowbud, this is support; do you have a support question-->if not then #ubuntu-offtopic might be nice | 02:55 |
| Morgie | cowbud do you want the lo also? | 02:55 |
| willwh | indeed | 02:55 |
| anirudh0 | is;nt rc1 out in repos? | 02:55 |
| fp2007 | spiderskull: do you think perhaps in my case reinstalling the kernels is the next step? the reason I ask is, from here (LiveCD), I have to mount the harddrive to a folder and go through that stuff to be able to install using apt-get or dpkg on the actual harddrive install | 02:55 |
| Leefmc | musikgoat, Pardon? | 02:55 |
| cowbud | Morgie, nah jkust the eth* ones | 02:56 |
| musikgoat | go to system -> admin -> software sources | 02:56 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, noticeI am helping someone | 02:56 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: add hardy-proposed | 02:56 |
| cowbud | Morgie, and I am a bit confused as to how you are pasting this if the system isn't connected | 02:56 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: not recommended though | 02:56 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Why is it not recommended? | 02:56 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: its worse than debian-unstable | 02:56 |
| musikgoat | Leefmc: the proposed are in testing stage | 02:56 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, then please stop the unnecessary posts | 02:57 |
| Starnestommy | willwh: about nickserv.pl, I think it might be broken due to a recent change in NickServ and the other services on freenode. Someone in #irssi might have a fix for it | 02:57 |
| Leefmc | ah hah | 02:57 |
| willwh | Starnestommy: lovely - I'll check with them, thanks | 02:57 |
| Morgie | cowbud i am re typing the printout | 02:57 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Well really, my only problem right now is with Blender246 and FireFox support heh | 02:57 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: because the packages are not stable..have;nt been tested enough | 02:57 |
| cowbud | Morgie, damn that is a lot of work, do you have an eth0? and if so does it have an ip? | 02:57 |
| Morgie | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17777/ | 02:57 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: blender should be fine..they have their own repo iirc..add that | 02:57 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, unnecessary it is a chat channel who is the overlord that deems things unneccsary | 02:57 |
| cowbud | Morgie, looking now | 02:58 |
| Morgie | i couldnt get DNS or roaming to work at all | 02:58 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: and wait for ff..nothing much new from b5 anyway | 02:58 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, What about firefox? Do they have their own? | 02:58 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, IIRC i loved RC1 over B5 | 02:58 |
| musikgoat | anirudh0: i'd beg to differ on that... rc1 has a number of bug fixes | 02:58 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, i loved it | 02:58 |
| cowbud | Morgie, is that eth0? | 02:58 |
| Cary_Jebus | is there any way to swich ubuntu to kbuntu without uninstalling it | 02:58 |
| Morgie | yeah | 02:58 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Not to mention, it was annoying to have to "downgrade" heh | 02:58 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: nope..but some people have compiled and put the rc in their personal repos..i would strongly advise waiting | 02:58 |
| luckynoob | leefmc, firefox rc2 is stable and cool | 02:58 |
| cowbud | Cary_Jebus, install kubuntu-desktop | 02:58 |

| Starnestommy | ignore me | 02:59 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, if you would like to continue this discussion then let me no and we'll move to #ubuntu-ops -- nad perhaps you should consider reading the !coc | 02:59 |
| Leefmc | dear god, didn't even know about FF RC2 hah. | 02:59 |
| Cary_Jebus | sorry for being so newbish | 02:59 |
| cowbud | Morgie, ok and when you connect your computer it just doesn't get an IP address at all or you just can't use the internet? | 02:59 |
| Cary_Jebus | i just started linux | 02:59 |
| fdhdh | is there an apt command to get a list of all dependencies (recursively expanded)? | 02:59 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, did you mean know or no? | 02:59 |
| spiderskull | fp2007: it depends on what error you're getting, check this page: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 02:59 |
| cowbud | and did you really just say coc? | 02:59 |
| anirudh0 | !troll | 02:59 |
| ubottu | Factoid troll not found | 02:59 |
| Morgie | i didnt get an ip when i looked at my connection info | 02:59 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, know | 02:59 |
| anirudh0 | too bad..this one is needed occasionally | 03:00 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Well let me ask this then. How long does it often take for software to move to the mainline repos? I mean.. will it be 3 months into FireFox3's final release, that ubuntu gets FireFox3? | 03:00 |

| deeperror | willwh, if you install kubuntu on top do you have the option to load either? and will settings/prefs be similar or do you get clean desktop? | 03:00 |
| cowbud | Morgie, and again this is directly to your computer no router right? | 03:00 |
| Flannel | Cary_Jebus: kubuntu-desktop | 03:00 |
| Morgie | yes | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | Cary_Jebus: I meant sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 03:00 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: devs are busy right now..feature freeze for 8.10 is nearby..hence the delay | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | which is why I said "ignore me" | 03:00 |
| Darlok_Williams | Does anyone know how to make GNOME Do actually open my Firefox bookmarks? It will show them when I start to type the name, but it won't actually open them in Firefox. | 03:00 |
| willwh | deeperror: you can load either at your login screen (you can choose the session) | 03:00 |
| cowbud | Morgie, do you have any other computers to test, my guess is if you connect it and let it sit there for like 15 minutes you will then get an IP. I am guessing that the cable modem is being a badboy and only allowing certain mac addresses but hten it fails over after X amount of minutes | 03:01 |
| willwh | I personally don't like KDE, but whatever floats your boat :) | 03:01 |
| Cary_Jebus | ty :) | 03:01 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, I mean i'm not complaining, i just need to find my medium here. When i should just let the mainline repos be my guide, or when i should force my own. (Blender for example) | 03:01 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Ah nice | 03:01 |
| willwh | Leefmc: blender is a wonderful program ;) | 03:01 |
| fp2007 | spiderskull: thanks, I am going to read over all this now, hopefully I will find out what is wrong, I shouldve wrote down the error, it happens at boot and I have to reboot using a livecd | 03:01 |
| anirudh0 | willwh: kde4 should change your opinion | 03:01 |
| Cary_Jebus | wow the linux community is so friendly <3 | 03:01 |
| Morgie | i dont think that is it, i am running the compy on the same connection as this computer | 03:01 |
| willwh | I have been teaching myself slowly the last few weeks :) | 03:01 |
| deeperror | Cary_Jebus, give it time haha | 03:01 |
| Cary_Jebus | :P | 03:02 |
| Flannel | anirudh0: Feature freeze isn't until August, firefox should be all sorted out by 8.04.1, although I believe it was supposed to already be at that. | 03:02 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Also, i heard you should often install ubuntu fresh because it doesn't update that great. Do minor versions update fine? (8.04 to 8.10 for example?) | 03:02 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: if you dont need something urgently..wait for main repo..if you do, well put the new one | 03:02 |
| musikgoat | Leefmc: if there are certain programs you want to install, and you want to test things out... google it and there will be a 1000 blogs with instructions to install | 03:02 |
| spiderskull | fp2007: yeah, I found what helps is trying to get as specific as possible. the nice thing about that page is that they have a section dedicated to error mesages and what they mean | 03:02 |
| ijustam | does anyone use a UPS? | 03:02 |
| anirudh0 | Flannel: i meant the devs are busy..hence the delay in uploading packages to hardy | 03:02 |
| Cary_Jebus | I do | 03:02 |
| deeperror | ijustam, yes | 03:02 |
| ijustam | does your power history work? | 03:02 |
| Cary_Jebus | but I dont know how to manage it on linux | 03:02 |
| anirudh0 | ijustam: why? | 03:02 |
| Cary_Jebus | :\ | 03:02 |
| willwh | Leefmc: minor versions update fine - but I would suggest installing your /home on a seperate partition | 03:02 |
| willwh | and I do a complete reinstall on new full releases | 03:03 |
| ijustam | my power died today and i just noticed my power history is completely inactive | 03:03 |
| deeperror | ijustam, i use nut not sure ha it just sends me emails on events | 03:03 |
| con-man | audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. | 03:03 |
| con-man | any ideas? | 03:03 |
| HappyHater | how can I share files with xp running in vmware-server? | 03:03 |
| musikgoat | Leefmc: there is a place to get prepackaged deb's that ar not in the main yet... getdeb.net | 03:03 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Oh and btw, Blender is nice, but not nearly as good as some of the paid alternatives. 3D apps differ greatly from OSs heh. (i own most major 3d apps, its my field heh. Got fed up when Softimage wanted to charge me 300$ to switch my license to ubuntu) | 03:03 |
| Tux | Is there anyway to make firestarter notify you when there is a block event even if you havent clicked firestarter first | 03:03 |
| ijustam | i found out that ubuntu's power manager will manage it now that i have my data cable | 03:03 |
| willwh | Leefmc: agreed, Maya is a standard pretty much | 03:03 |
| ijustam | just.. power history won't move | 03:03 |
| willwh | I don't work int he industry but I know a lot of them | 03:03 |
| anirudh0 | con-man: lsof /dev/snd/*..and see whats occupying audio | 03:04 |
| cowbud | musikgoat, might want to also include that it can be bad for the system | 03:04 |
| musikgoat | ture | 03:04 |
| hey` | I'm desperate. | 03:04 |
| musikgoat | *true | 03:04 |
| hey` | something's still wrong wity my firefox. | 03:04 |
| hey` | problems with flash. | 03:04 |
| con-man | anirudh0: nothing | 03:04 |
| cowbud | hey`, ask and someone will try to help just be exact.. | 03:04 |
| Morgie | cowbud, the connection for that computer is being used by this one so i can get some help >< | 03:04 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: does maya run under wine? | 03:04 |
| hey` | I've been trying to ask you guys the whole week, and someone already helped me really hard, and couldn't help me. | 03:05 |
| Cary_Jebus | maya? I beleve there is a linux alertivative to that | 03:05 |
| anirudh0 | con-man: which means nothing is using audio...is pulseaudio running? | 03:05 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Actually, i dislike maya. Its powerful, but it isn't friendly. Its designed for big companies with budgets to program their own features. If you wanna see a nice up and coming program, check out Luxologies Modo. Currently not linux, but they have a system to bake out apps for every release, so eventually they will support linux as a standard | 03:05 |
| Cary_Jebus | I forgot the name... | 03:05 |
| cowbud | Morgie, right but what I am saying is that some companies who distribute cable modems/dsl modems will only allow one mac address, however if you wait a while it may fail over and let you. I assume you don't have any other computer you can test? | 03:05 |
| con-man | nope | 03:05 |
| willwh | anirudh0: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8992 | 03:05 |
| Cary_Jebus | anyone know | 03:05 |
| hey` | the problem is I can't listen to any stream radio online. | 03:05 |
| con-man | anirudh0: nope | 03:05 |
| hey` | also, flas doesn't load properly, instead appears a play sign. | 03:05 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, Actually, to avoid the hassle of licensing crap (i swear, spend 5000$ and you still dont own crap), the only app i plan on "Wine-ing" is Modo | 03:06 |
| Cary_Jebus | reinstall flash | 03:06 |
| hey` | and due to that I can't upload pics on photobucket for sure. | 03:06 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, is this wireless or wired | 03:06 |
| cowbud | hey`, and what happens when you click on that play sign does it try to load flash? | 03:06 |
| kitche | hey`: sounds like your not using adobe flash probably using one of the open source ones | 03:06 |
| anirudh0 | con-man: start it from terminal..and see if an error comes up when you try to play something | 03:06 |
| cowbud | bazhang_, cable modem connection | 03:06 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Is it possible to "transfer" my /home/ to a new partition, on a current install? | 03:06 |
| Morgie | not right now no and it is hard wired | 03:06 |
| === codercotton is now known as codercotton|away | ||
| hey` | cowbud, if I play the thing, in case of youtube vids. | 03:06 |
| willwh | Leefmc: yes, there are many blogs entries about it, one sec I'll dig you a link | 03:06 |
| hey` | they play alright. | 03:06 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, you can access the machine now? | 03:06 |
| hey` | if it's a flash effect it works. | 03:06 |
| cowbud | Morgie, right so if eth0 is showing up chances are you are fine as far as the linux side | 03:06 |
| rushin | irc://freenode/#ubuntu | 03:06 |
| naenae | hey im bakc again ard | 03:06 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: cp -rv ~/ <new-partition> | 03:06 |
| con-man | anirudh0: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 | 03:06 |
| con-man | ALSA lib setup.c:96:(snd_sctl_install) Cannot lock ctl elem | 03:06 |
| con-man | ALSA lib setup.c:96:(snd_sctl_install) Cannot lock ctl elem | 03:06 |
| hey` | and well I have installed the non-free flash. | 03:07 |
| FloodBot1 | con-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:07 |
| con-man | 3 lines? | 03:07 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc: actually do cp -arv | 03:07 |
| cowbud | and yet floodbot continues the flood | 03:07 |
| cowbud | lovely | 03:07 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, And you can make new partitions on the fly easily right? (In the partition manager, iirc) | 03:07 |
| eraldo | is there a way to add a creation date to a file (apart from writing it into the filename) ...but still beeing part of the file ? | 03:07 |
| hey` | but when I wanna hear radio online is not possible. | 03:07 |
| con-man | it was 3 lines | 03:07 |
| willwh | con-man: use pastebin!! | 03:07 |
| willwh | http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ | 03:07 |
| Quintin | Failed to start the firewall. The device ath0 is not ready. Please check your network device settings and make sure your Internet Connection is active. | 03:07 |
| con-man | willwh: I do, but that was only 3 lines | 03:07 |
| hey` | and the photobucket problem is annoying too, i guess it's the same thing. | 03:07 |
| Quintin | I'm trying to use firestarter to share eth0 using a wifi card | 03:07 |
| Morgie | ok, so then why i cant i ever see my ipaddy | 03:07 |
| SeaPhor | cowbud, does Morgie 's cable modem have a built in router? | 03:07 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Ty | 03:07 |
| Morgie | no | 03:07 |
| anirudh0 | con-man: i think a reboot might help..not sure though | 03:07 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, you need help or not? then answer my questions | 03:07 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, floodbot only tells the offender of the flood it doesnt 'continue the flood' thats like saying the next person who posts is flooding | 03:07 |
| hey` | I've installed several packages, also configuring firefox, but nuttin | 03:07 |
| con-man | anirudh0: aye, brb | 03:08 |
| Leefmc | I'll be right back, i got a question about FF-B5, and Amazon MP3. I can't preview the music. But brb, i need to reboot (system updates) | 03:08 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, yeah well maybe floodbot should msg them instead of do it publically so we all don't have to see yet another useless line of text in this channel | 03:08 |
| Morgie | it is just a ethernet modem | 03:08 |
| adub | i am trying to play a wm file but its slow as hell | 03:08 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, some people dont allow pm's | 03:08 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, also preface your answers with the nickname of the person you are speaking to or your posts will be lost | 03:08 |
| willwh | adub: what player are you using and what codecs do you have installed? | 03:08 |
| naenae | what does it mean when i install brand new drivers for my pcmcia card and i look at my restricted hardware drives and it sais the device is working yet the pcmcia is not detected by my wifi scanner ...it wont detect any networks with it and the light on the thing isnt even on | 03:08 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, seems like a bum compromise | 03:09 |
| adub | willwh i tried mplayer and totem | 03:09 |
| willwh | adub: I work for a streamign media company and have totally tested WMA/WMV streams/files to death | 03:09 |
| adub | the codecs im not sure | 03:09 |
| anirudh0 | adub: perhaps your system is too slow to play it..start mplayer from cmd line..it should show something | 03:09 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, what does? | 03:09 |
| Morgie | bazhang_, sorry i have just an eithernet modem | 03:09 |
| willwh | adub: make sure you have the gstreamer wm codecs instaleld | 03:09 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, subjecting everyone to that because some people don't accept msgs they should just get kicked then | 03:09 |
| adub | oh this isnt streaming media i have it local on my hard drive | 03:09 |
| Cary_Jebus | whats in kde 4 thats not in kde 3 | 03:09 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, can you access the computer now | 03:09 |
| adub | ok | 03:09 |
| adub | 1 sec | 03:09 |
| Morgie | bazhang_yes | 03:09 |
| anirudh0 | cowbud: PM's only work for registered users on freenode iirc | 03:09 |
| naenae | what does it mean when i install brand new drivers for my pcmcia card and i look at my restricted hardware drives and it sais the device is working yet the pcmcia is not detected by my wifi scanner ...it wont detect any networks with it and the light on the thing isnt even on | 03:10 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, and the ethernet is attached now? | 03:10 |
| willwh | anirudh0: that's correct, you must be identified with Nickserv :) | 03:10 |
| xenos | started kde4 but theres no panel anywhere! any ideas? | 03:10 |
| Cary_Jebus | whats in kde 4 thats not in kde 3??? | 03:10 |
| anirudh0 | adub: can be a codecs issue..would'nt play at all then | 03:10 |
| * xenos cough* a panel | 03:10 | |
| JohnPhys | How can I go about mounting an ntfs drive using the kernel driver, rather than fuse and ntfs-3g? | 03:10 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, that would be harsh on users who have never been on irc before, they dont know not to post 4 lines in quick succession | 03:10 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: EVRYTHING :) | 03:10 |
| Cary_Jebus | aww damnit | 03:11 |
| adub | gstreamer0.10-plugin-good | 03:11 |
| fp2007 | nickrud | 03:11 |
| adub | is that what i want | 03:11 |
| fp2007 | oops | 03:11 |
| Cary_Jebus | I just installed KDE 3 | 03:11 |
| Cary_Jebus | :( | 03:11 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: plasma mainly..and qt4..so apps become abot 30% faster | 03:11 |
| Cary_Jebus | :(((((] | 03:11 |
| cowbud | Cary_Jebus, yeah that is default | 03:11 |
| Morgie | bazhang_ no i am using the connection for the one i am using to get some help, and my ifconfig is good | 03:11 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: KDE 4.1 beta packages are out | 03:11 |
| JuzzyD | Hello Folks, anyone know stuff about iPods with Ubuntu? I seem to have an issue where as soon as I connect the ipod, podcasts that I've listened to are being marked as unplayed | 03:11 |
| Cary_Jebus | LINK? | 03:11 |
| naenae | what does it mean when i install brand new drivers for my pcmcia card and i look at my restricted hardware drives and it sais the device is working yet the pcmcia is not detected by my wifi scanner ...it wont detect any networks with it and the light on the thing isnt even on | 03:11 |
| eraldo | is there a way to add a creation date to a file (apart from writing it into the filename) ...but still beeing part of the file ? | 03:12 |
| cowbud | naenae, first and foremost the best thing to do is google to find out whether or not linux supports that hardware | 03:12 |
| anirudh0 | JohnPhys: you could add the relevant line in /etc/fstab | 03:12 |
| HiTo | Wow... when using VNC to control my Ubuntu computer, Xorg uses 90% of the CPU, nothing more... ressource efficient ? (i have an e4500 with 2 GB) | 03:12 |
| naenae | ive done that | 03:12 |
| naenae | it doe | 03:12 |
| naenae | s | 03:12 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: see kubuntu.org | 03:12 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: can you be more specific? | 03:12 |
| cowbud | HiTo, vnc is resource intensive it takes lots and lots of snapshots in jpeg | 03:12 |
| Cary_Jebus | ani, I dont want to have to uninstall ubuntu | 03:12 |
| portablejim | How do I use pulseaudio one installed? I am using Hardy and have GUI tools. | 03:12 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, to troubleshoot this you need to connect the cable to the computer in question, then ifconfig should show eth0, then sudo dhclient eth0 should bring up the connection<--write down these instructions and then try them with ethernet connected (noting down any errors if does not work) | 03:12 |
| Bodsda | how is modification date controlled? is it possible to duplicate it and make it changeable only once so it works as a creation date? | 03:13 |
| anirudh0 | JohnPhys: see the fstab file for format..replace ntfs-3g in there by the driver of your choice | 03:13 |
| willwh | HiTo: that is strange - I spend much of my day controlling my box over an ssh tunnel via vnc.... and my CPUs are not even 40% most of the time | 03:13 |
| anirudh0 | HiTo: use ssh -X | 03:13 |
| cowbud | bazhang_, assuming the aforementioned issue is not what is affecting him | 03:13 |
| cowbud | anirudh0, that is hardly a replacement for vnc | 03:13 |
| Morgie | bazhang_ ok i amdoing this now | 03:13 |
| willwh | portablejim: System > Prefs > Sound | 03:13 |
| HiTo | yes but ssh -X doesn't work so well (i found) when using it from Windows | 03:13 |
| HiTo | I installed Xming but i have errors when launching gnome | 03:13 |
| anirudh0 | Cary_Jebus: not necessary..kde4 goes in /usr/lib/kde4..no messing up with ubuntu progs | 03:14 |
| HiTo | otherwise ssh -X seems to use less ressources yes | 03:14 |
| bazhang_ | Morgie, but the cable must be connected for that to work (you understand this right?) | 03:14 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: how can I accomplish the mount from the command line? mount -t ntfs device mountpoint does not seem to work, the type of filesystem is listed as "fuseblk". I am curious about how to do this for rescuing ntfs partitions using a livecd. | 03:14 |
| willwh | HiTo: I use the default remote desktop feature in ubuntu (vino) - and an SSH tunnel for security | 03:14 |
| willwh | and it works gresat | 03:14 |
| cowbud | willwh, == to vnc | 03:14 |
| willwh | cowbud: yes, true :) | 03:14 |
| anirudh0 | JohnPhys: hmm..ntfs-3g uses fuse | 03:14 |
| anirudh0 | JohnPhys: fuse=filesystem in user space | 03:14 |
| cowbud | mount -t ntfs-3g | 03:14 |
| HiTo | willwh it works fine yes, but I found it really hungry and I am not doing only that on the computer, | 03:14 |
| HiTo | there is heavy file i/o | 03:15 |
| willwh | HiTo: what vncviewer are you using? | 03:15 |
| cowbud | HiTo, there are alternatives but not built into the desktop well. FreeNX being one of them.. | 03:15 |
| willwh | HiTo: what colour depth etc are you tranferring? | 03:15 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: exactly. I want to use the kernel ntfs driver. I know I have to modprobe ntfs to get that module loaded (it's not be default), but I'm not sure what to do after that. | 03:15 |
| Milchmann | hi everyone! im trying to update grub to add the .18 kernel, but its not working: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/245603/ | 03:15 |
| portablejim | I have followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio. I have set all dound devices to pulseaudio. | 03:16 |
| Milchmann | -18 | 03:16 |
| Phoenn | could someone help me with my xorg file, I'm trying to get 3 monitors working but I can only get the 1, my xorg file is here: www.pastebin.ca/1040933 thanks in advanced | 03:16 |
| cowbud | Phoenn, nvidia video card? | 03:16 |
| cowbud | and if I recall 3 monitors is not possible.. | 03:17 |
| cowbud | which may be wrong | 03:17 |
| Leefmc | Question: Anyone who is running FireFox B5, could you please browse Amazon MP3 and try to preview music? I am unable to, and i am not sure if the blame is at Ubuntu or FF-B5 | 03:17 |
| HiTo | willwh full available colours :) | 03:17 |
| Phoenn | cowbud: the main card is an nvidia agp card, the other two are ati pci | 03:17 |
| Bodsda | portablejim, #compiz-fusion might know | 03:17 |
| willwh | HiTo: that would explain much of the problem ;) | 03:17 |
| willwh | HiTo: try reducing that and see your results | 03:17 |
| xenos | started kde4 but theres no panel anywhere! any ideas? | 03:18 |
| anirudh0_ | xenos: add it using right click>add panel | 03:18 |
| cowbud | phoen oh damn 3 differnet video cards yeah that is a pretty complex setup and is probably beyond the scope of this channel man.. | 03:18 |
| HiTo | changed it to 256 colours, | 03:18 |
| portablejim | Bodsda: why would #compiz-fusion know? | 03:18 |
| randomshadowbmg | how come some of my sound ports are disabled in ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| anirudh0_ | xenos: there;s a kubuntu-kde channel as well | 03:18 |
| Leefmc | Anyone? :) | 03:18 |
| Phoenn | cowbud: any chance of getting two of them working? I'll take what I can get | 03:18 |
| Leefmc | (not sure if anyone is trying heh) | 03:19 |
| randomshadowbmg | i have a sound card on my motherboard with 6 ports and it has headphones and speakers hooked up, i can only use the headphones.... | 03:19 |
| cowbud | phoenn your best bet is to google about xinerama stuff and see what you can find.. | 03:19 |
| Bodsda | portablejim, because they deal with graphics and dual screens ,.,. it was just a suggestion | 03:19 |
| Phoenn | cowbud: alright, thanks | 03:19 |
| Cary_Jebus | cowbud: be nice were suppost to be freandly... | 03:19 |
| anirudh0_ | randomshadowbmg: check for muted stuff in alsamixer | 03:19 |
| cowbud | Cary_Jebus, what are you referring to? | 03:19 |
| Morgie | bazhang_ i got these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17781/ | 03:19 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Mind trying for me? | 03:19 |
| Cary_Jebus | phoen oh damn 3 differnet video cards yeah that is a pretty complex setup and is probably beyond the scope of this channel man.. | 03:19 |
| cowbud | bazhang_, which points to my original assessment | 03:20 |
| cowbud | Cary_Jebus, yeah that isn't being rude | 03:20 |
| cowbud | Cary_Jebus, it is more the truth | 03:20 |
| Cary_Jebus | oh I though that was sarcasm | 03:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cowbud We dont tell people to rtfm or go google it | 03:20 |
| Cary_Jebus | :P | 03:20 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, someone asks a question you say go away and search yourself -- not the helping mentality were trying to show | 03:20 |
| anirudh0_ | Jack_Sparrow: sometimes we should :) | 03:20 |
| cowbud | wow | 03:20 |
| cowbud | ok | 03:20 |
| cowbud | do you know how to seutp xinerama with 3 cards? | 03:20 |
| cowbud | have you even heard of that | 03:21 |
| cowbud | probably not | 03:21 |
| FloodBot1 | cowbud: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:21 |
| anirudh0_ | !enter | 03:21 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:21 |
| cowbud | Ive done two before | 03:21 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, no but give me 10 mins i can prob find out | 03:21 |
| randomshadowbmg | problem solved | 03:21 |
| cowbud | but this is obviously a newb chanel | 03:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | anirudh0_ There are times when it is necessary. But only as a last resort | 03:21 |
| randomshadowbmg | :D | 03:21 |
| Phoenn | lol, what cowbud said was fine, he didn't offend me | 03:21 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, this is a channel welcometo n00bs intermidiates and pros alike | 03:21 |
| portablejim | How do I move a pulseaudio stream to another computer, without killing the network? both computers are set up according to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#head-83190ece29f1679536253fdcf836c51989fc209d | 03:21 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, dude apparently not | 03:21 |
| cowbud | you guys are so excited about your big mighty kick | 03:21 |
| cowbud | ridiculous | 03:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cowbud Last time I did one it was 4 monitors on two cards, but I had to lose compiz to do it | 03:21 |
| willwh | cowbud: high horse much? :O | 03:22 |
| cowbud | Jack_Sparrow, well I sure as hell didnt see you chime in | 03:22 |
| anirudh0_ | cowbud: i cant figure out whether you are a dev or a troll | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter | cowbud | 03:22 |
| ubottu | cowbud: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:22 |
| Bodsda | cowbud, what big mighty kick??? | 03:22 |
| cowbud | Bodsda, uh /kick | 03:22 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i get virtual box to mount an iso? | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bodsda the one he knows is coming for attitude etc | 03:22 |
| cowbud | Mr_Bad_News, you set it as the cdrom drive | 03:22 |
| Bodsda | Jack_Sparrow, he got kicked? | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bodsda no.. but he knows better.. and is expecting one | 03:23 |
| ProwL | :P | 03:23 |
| cowbud | Mr_Bad_News, when you first create the virtual machine you will be presented with devices on the right hand side there you can select cdrom then select iso | 03:23 |
| cowbud | Jack_Sparrow, oh god | 03:23 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: any ideas? | 03:23 |
| Bodsda | Jack_Sparrow, someone who is expecting one should prob tone it down to avoid it ;~) | 03:24 |
| cowbud | do I know better | 03:24 |

| crf | Hi, in which files are the settings for the gnome logout button? | 03:25 |
| Mr_Bad_News | so if i have 3 iso's for french russian and spanish i have to power down and select mount that iso each time? | 03:25 |
| cowbud | oh wow | 03:25 |
| anirudh0_ | Mr_Bad_News: wow | 03:25 |
| cowbud | now im out of here | 03:25 |
| cowbud | lamers | 03:25 |
| eraldo | is there a way to add a creation date to a file (apart from writing it into the filename) ...but still beeing part of the file ? | 03:25 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0_, Mind doing me a favor? (If you have Ubuntu & FF-B5) please check a random album i chose, and see if the previews play for you? (Requires Flash) http://www.amazon.com/Weezer-Red-Album-Deluxe/dp/B001A62PP6/ | 03:25 |
| === rushin is now known as rrrushin | ||
| Mr_Bad_News | what anirudh0 | 03:25 |
| anirudh0_ | Mr_Bad_News: three iso's i mean..so many languages | 03:26 |
| Mr_Bad_News | so little time | 03:26 |
| crf | eraldo, I think there are some filesystems that allow that. | 03:26 |
| Phoenn | Anyone wanna take a stab at why my xorg isn't working? I'd even settle for only getting 2 monitors working www.pastebin.ca/1040933 thanks in advanced | 03:26 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: I want to do it manually from the terminal, as I'm looking for a way to accomplish this on a livecd for rescuing ntfs partitions. I was not able to mount an ntfs partition using a hardy disk, but a friend of mine was able to mount the partition using a debian cd using the ntfs kernel driver, rather than anything that used fuse. I am wondering how to accomplish that (mount ntfs using the kernel driver, not fuse). | 03:26 |
| willwh | Leefmc: I am - and the preview plays | 03:26 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Ah suck. So wtf.. why wont it play for me.. hurm. Thanks | 03:26 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0, willwh tried, you dont have to :) | 03:27 |
| willwh | Leefmc: what do you have set in Sys > Prefs> sound? | 03:27 |
| anirudh0_ | Leefmc: i get "open with totem" | 03:27 |
| willwh | Leefmc: I have everything set to ALSA | 03:27 |
| willwh | I don't trust pulseaudio yet! | 03:27 |
| anirudh0_ | JohnPhys: ntfs is not rw..ntfs-3g is..the command you typed way back was correct(mount from terminal) | 03:27 |
| eraldo | crf: but ext3 is not part of that I guess ? | 03:27 |
| Cary_Jebus | now I restart my computer to boot into KDE 4 right? | 03:27 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Ah i didn't realize firefox required sound settings. I assumed it all went through the same pipe (my mp3 player, vs firefox, vs some random prog) | 03:27 |
| anirudh0_ | Cary_Jebus: if that is selected in gdm | 03:28 |
| crf | eraldo, that's right | 03:28 |
| Syphys | newserver irc.discut.fr | 03:28 |
| Cary_Jebus | no I selected kdm | 03:28 |
| eraldo | crf: any other ideas ? | 03:28 |
| Bodsda | Cary_Jebus, you select which desktop environment you want to use at the login screen | 03:28 |
| Flannel | Cary_Jebus: No, you'll need to select it from the "sessions" menu. GDM/KDM don't have a preference on what they boot to | 03:28 |
| anirudh0_ | Cary_Jebus: you have to select the kde4 session in kdm | 03:28 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: at least on gutsy, both mount.ntfs AND mount.ntfs-3g point to /bin/ntfs-3g | 03:29 |
| Cary_Jebus | well I need to update anyway | 03:29 |
| Cary_Jebus | :P | 03:29 |
| Cary_Jebus | brb | 03:29 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: and to my knowledge, that uses fuse | 03:29 |
| crf | eraldo, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems | 03:29 |
| * Leefmc waits for firefox to unfreeze | 03:29 | |
| Leefmc | See this is why Beta5 stinks. hehe :o | 03:29 |
| anirudh0_ | JohnPhys: ntfs-3g uses fuse..there is an older ntfs driver that provides read only access | 03:29 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Hah! That was it! Thank you | 03:30 |
| Leefmc | willwh, I assumed i didn't have any sound problems because my mp3 player worked fine. | 03:30 |
| anirudh0_ | JohnPhys: see http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ for more details | 03:30 |
| crf | eraldo, I'm not an expert. :) ... I don't fell comfortable giving advice that would result in changing your whole filesystem ;) | 03:30 |
| willwh | Leefmc: no problem :) | 03:30 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: that would be fine, as I'm interested in rescuing data off of a busted ntfs partition that ntfs-3g has trouble mounting. How can I use the older driver from a hardy livecd? | 03:30 |
| alan_m | Hey guys, my computer every time i log in now says "cannot load .dmrc it should have permissions 7555 and should be owned by user and not accessible by any other user, can anybody tell me how to fix it? ive looked everywhere, the forums havent helped out, i tried everything. | 03:31 |
| Leefmc | willwh, I was about to have a heart attack. I need my music fix haha. Every man has his addiction, and i have to budget mine heh | 03:31 |
| anirudh0_ | JohnPhys: afaik the older driver is'nt there in hardy livecd..you'll need edgy or dapper livecd for that | 03:31 |
| willwh | Leefmc: amen to that ;) | 03:31 |
| anirudh0_ | alan_m: you mean 600 | 03:31 |
| Leefmc | Yea overall, i am very happy to have made the move to ubuntu. | 03:32 |
| anirudh0_ | alan_m: do chmod 600 ~/.dmrc ..and chmod 700 ~/ | 03:32 |
| Leefmc | Honestly, i feel like i've thrown my 3D App burdon more than my windows burdon. 3D App licensing is so f'n horrible. | 03:32 |
| Leefmc | Except for a few, ofcourse | 03:32 |
| anirudh0_ | JohnPhys: it is unlikely that the older driver will work where the newer one failed | 03:32 |
| willwh | Leefmc: it is rather liberating picking up a *nix distro if you are used to windows :) | 03:32 |
| willwh | certainly is refreshing! | 03:32 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Amen | 03:32 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Once i can get my MX Revolution in working order, i'll be set hehe | 03:33 |
| JohnPhys | anirudh0: well, the ntfs module still exists in gutsy, so I think ti's there. and my friend was able to use the ntfs kernel driver (not the fuse one) to mount the partition sucessfully. | 03:33 |
| alan_m | anirudh0, ok, thanks buddy, lets see if this works......if i messed it up before...i had a backup so i wasnt too terribly afraid. | 03:33 |
| fdhdh | does anyone have access to a clean hoary install(no other packages installed) | 03:33 |
| Leefmc | willwh, You know xconf.conf at all? (i think thats what its called), there is a MX Revolution tutorial for an older ubuntu install, but im not sure if it would still apply for Hardy | 03:34 |
| yowwww | can anyone help with a thin client server configuration? | 03:34 |
| JohnPhys | fdhdh: ....Hoary or Hardy? | 03:34 |
| fdhdh | umm.. 8.04 | 03:34 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, thats Hardy :) | 03:34 |
| willwh | Leefmc: xorg.conf :) | 03:34 |
| fdhdh | woops...well, anyone have access to a clean hardy install? | 03:34 |
| anirudh0_ | hoary was the second one..antique | 03:34 |
| willwh | Leefmc: It will probably still apply to hardy | 03:34 |
| JohnPhys | fdhdh: Hardy :) I can't help with that, but I thought I'd at least ask ot clear up any confusion for those that can help. | 03:34 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, i might be fixing to if this doesnt work, lol | 03:34 |
| fdhdh | does anyone know how to get a recursive list of package dependencies? | 03:35 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, but as of right now, i dont. | 03:35 |
| Leefmc | willwh, Lemme grab the link, take a peak and let me know. IIRC xorg.conf is an insanely important file correct? (Also, if i end up screwin the file up, what would be my recover options?) | 03:35 |
| willwh | Leefmc: I was going to link this; it's not ubuntu specific though - http://andy.hillhome.org/blog/2006/09/27/logitech-mx-revolution-in-linux/ | 03:35 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, for all packages? | 03:35 |
| willwh | Leefmc: let's pm session | 03:35 |
| fdhdh | yeah | 03:35 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, your asking for a huge list there, heh | 03:35 |
| Starnestommy | fdhdh: try apt-cache depends | 03:36 |
| fdhdh | i mean like...i have an ubuntu machine with no internet, and i want to install something on it...i want to generate all dependencies so i can download them, burn em to cd, and then give it to synaptic | 03:36 |
| Bodsda | !aptoncd | fdhd | 03:36 |
| ubottu | fdhd: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 03:36 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, ^^^ | 03:36 |
| alan_m | !apton.......meh | 03:36 |
| ubottu | Factoid apton.......meh not found | 03:36 |
| anirudh0_ | fdhdh: use fluxubuntu live cd then..easier and faster..and it has nothing on it except bare min | 03:36 |
| * alan_m shoulda backspaced that..sorry | 03:37 | |
| alan_m | :D | 03:37 |
| connor | is there a way to make a shortcut on the desktop for xkill? | 03:37 |
| fdhdh | yeah but how do i get APTonCD there | 03:37 |
| anirudh0_ | alan_m: how do you produce these *<stuff> | 03:37 |
| fdhdh | i would need to install it along with a bunch of dependencies i bet | 03:37 |
| alan_m | anirudh0, its called the /me command | 03:37 |
| * anirudh0_ test | 03:37 | |
| yowwww | connor - force quit applet not working well enough? | 03:37 |
| connor | no | 03:38 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, you download it as an iso | 03:38 |
| connor | i just want to be able to double click it | 03:38 |
| yowwww | create a launcher | 03:38 |
| yowwww | but you'll need to click on the app too after | 03:38 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, if you download the iso, it includes the dependencies :D | 03:38 |
| connor | because sometimes my programs are fullscreen, they get forced windowed if my screensaver popups and forcequit has no effect | 03:38 |
| connor | so a desktop icon for xkill would be quite lovely | 03:38 |
| fdhdh | downlaod what iso? | 03:39 |
| eraldo | is there a filebrowser like filezilla but for desktop use (nautilus replace) | 03:39 |
| alan_m | fdhdh, for fluxbuntu | 03:39 |
| fdhdh | i already have ubuntu installed | 03:39 |
| Bodsda | connor, you could use a program called zenity to open a dialog box then you enter a prog name and it executes killall <proggname> | 03:39 |
| connor_ | so yeah thats basically it | 03:39 |
| anirudh0_ | fdhdh: you are not listening | 03:39 |
| eraldo | or can I setup nautilus to also have 2 path windows ? | 03:39 |
| connor_ | no | 03:39 |
| connor_ | i just want a desktop icon for it | 03:39 |
| connor_ | is that too much to ask? | 03:39 |
| fdhdh | what would fluxubuntu let me do? | 03:39 |
| yowwww | connor - create a launcher then | 03:39 |
| connor_ | this is linux we are dealing with. anything is possible with linux | 03:39 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: "path window"? | 03:39 |
| connor_ | how? | 03:39 |
| connor_ | think i go tit | 03:40 |
| connor_ | got it* | 03:40 |
| fdhdh | i dont see how downloading fluxubuntu will solve my problems | 03:40 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, download aptoncd? | 03:40 |
| darthanubis | have flubuntu ever become final? | 03:40 |
| connor_ | woohoo it worked! | 03:40 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: nautilus has no tabs ..or split view..if thats what you need | 03:40 |
| yowwww | anyone help with an ubuntu thin client issue? i promise it will be fun :) | 03:40 |
| darthanubis | flux? | 03:40 |
| connor_ | ok | 03:40 |
| connor_ | yowwww: i want fun, whats the problem | 03:40 |
| yowwww | good stuff connor_ | 03:40 |
| === tro|| is now known as tro | ||
| darthanubis | I would not advise using fluxbuntu | 03:41 |
| eraldo | anirudh0_: in filezilla i can look at one directory on one side and at the same time have a look at another on the other side... this way I can easily move a file from one dir to another | 03:41 |
| fdhdh | Bodsda: okay, i hope it works on a vanilla ubuntu install with no dependencies | 03:41 |
| connor_ | yowwww: wheres teh fun at? | 03:41 |
| alan_m | darthanubis, its final, just not "officially" supported. | 03:41 |
| yowwww | im setting up a thin client system, got the server installed, trying to connect to it | 03:41 |
| darthanubis | better off using ubuntu with fluxbox installed from a alt. cd | 03:41 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, the dependencies are included in aptoncd | 03:41 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: nautilus does'nt have it yet | 03:41 |
| connor_ | hmm | 03:41 |
| yowwww | first time setting up a thin client | 03:41 |
| connor_ | i dunnolol | 03:41 |
| yowwww | awesome, i feel better now ;) | 03:41 |
| eraldo | anirudh0: is there one that does have it ? | 03:41 |
| darthanubis | alan_m, took long enough | 03:41 |
| connor_ | that has what | 03:41 |
| connor_ | eraldo: whats the problem | 03:41 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: search for "midnight commander" in synaptic..konqueror in kde has it | 03:42 |
| alan_m | darthanubis, what are you referring to? | 03:42 |
| jonas22 | how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to 192.168.0.1:1234 to 127.0.0.1:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on 127.0.0.1 and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon. | 03:43 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: also look at pcmanfm..no split view..but tab support | 03:43 |
| Bodsda | alan_m, it is most nights ;~) | 03:43 |
| zm634 | Ok, after i install dmraid to use a raid setup on my 8.04 install, i reboot into some (initramfs) shell. I've noticed there'sno /etc/fstab in this, and i think it may be because now that i'm using dmraid, it's picking up the single hard drive i use to boot from as something else | 03:44 |
| anirudh0_ | is there any use of raid on a single hd? | 03:44 |
| Bodsda | no | 03:44 |
| Flannel | anirudh0_: No | 03:44 |
| zm634 | well, technically it's a spanning raid with one disk | 03:44 |
| eraldo | anirudh0: what I am looking for is twin view... but no command line browser... rather a desktop filebrowser with twinview | 03:45 |
| pupustory | wow; | 03:45 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: konqueor and dolphin do it in kde..you can use those from gnome as well | 03:45 |
| yowwww | eraldo - emelfm2 | 03:46 |
| anirudh0_ | yowwww: thats ancient | 03:46 |
| eraldo | connor_: I most of the time start 2 nautilus windows... and drag one file from the first window to the other window... | 03:46 |
| yowwww | anirudh0_ - it was updated not long ago | 03:46 |
| nenen | lalala | 03:46 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: i dunno why nautilus does'nt have tab and split view support | 03:46 |
| nenen | cause nautilus is sux | 03:46 |
| yowwww | anirudh0_ - nautilus does have tabs in the latest svn | 03:46 |
| anirudh0_ | eraldo: its a good file manager otherwise | 03:47 |
| bazhang_ | !br | nenen | 03:47 |
| ubottu | nenen: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 03:47 |
| anirudh0_ | yowwww: great! | 03:47 |
| mjburling | I need some help connecting to a wireless network on my eeepc | 03:47 |
| yowwww | yep, long overdue, but awesome nonetheless | 03:47 |
| anirudh0_ | yowwww: and split views? | 03:47 |
| fdhdh | aptoncd doesnt do what i want | 03:47 |
| eraldo | connor_: now that I use filezilla for remote machines... I wondered if there is a way to get nautilus do that... but anirudh0_ already told me that it can not... | 03:47 |
| yowwww | no anirudh0_ , one step at a time, lol | 03:47 |
| yowwww | maybe it will be added before its final | 03:47 |
| anirudh0_ | :)\ | 03:47 |
| fdhdh | i dont think it lets me choose what package to install, it only works on ones ive already installed | 03:47 |
| bazhang_ | mjburling, /join #eeepc also see their wiki at www.eeeuser.com | 03:47 |
| * anirudh0_ leaves for breakfast | 03:47 | |
| eraldo | anirudh0_: i know it is... but always having multiple nautilus windows open annoys me | 03:48 |
| alan_m | breakfast? wow anirud...your up early :D | 03:48 |
| alan_m | meh, too late | 03:48 |
| mjburling | I'm in #eeepc and I've got help to get the modules installed correctly, I just don't know how to finally get in touch with a wireless network. | 03:49 |
| Bodsda | fdhdh, decide what apps you want and there dependencies (if needed) then go to an internet amchine and create the cd then take them back | 03:50 |
| bazhang_ | mjburling, open a terminal and type ifconfig | 03:50 |
| mjburling | How do I actually test and see if everything is working correctly and finally connect to a network? | 03:50 |
| mjburling | I don't see my wireless adapter :( | 03:50 |
| yowwww | mjburling - try iwconfig -scanning | 03:51 |
| yowwww | see if it lists your access point | 03:51 |
| bazhang_ | mjburling, then the module may not be properly loaded | 03:51 |
| mjburling | Everything is set and ready to go (i think) in /lib | 03:51 |
| mjburling | So frustrated. | 03:51 |
| jonas22 | how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to 192.168.0.1:1234 to 127.0.0.1:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on 127.0.0.1 and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon. | 03:52 |
| Izinucs | I just installed (on my 3rd machine) Hardy. and it won't boot. no errors during install. booting shows GRUB Loading stage1.5 and stays there. 1 harddrive in machine (sata) 1gig+ ram and stage1.5 is in /boot/grub. Any assistance? | 03:53 |
| KlrSpz | anyone successful at getting the mic working on a dell d620 laptop? | 03:54 |
| KlrSpz | i had found the LaptopTestingTeam results, and their input doesn't seem to work | 03:54 |
| Izinucs | I can't even get my external mic to work on a desktop when it worked on 7.10 | 03:54 |
| KlrSpz | it always forces my capture vol to 0 | 03:55 |
| cary_jebus | how do you install KDE themes? | 03:55 |
| yowwww | Izinucs - have you looked at the menu.lst to see if it seems correct? | 03:55 |
| cary_jebus | how do you install KDE themes? | 03:55 |
| yowwww | cary_jebus - isnt in the control panel or something? | 03:55 |
| yowwww | been sooooooooo long since i used kde | 03:55 |

| cary_jebus | :P | 03:55 |
| exoplasm | can anyone tell me what packages i need for virtualbox? | 03:55 |
| Izinucs | yowwww it matches my other machine.. so with that referance.. yes. | 03:55 |
| will00 | is there a keytouch like program for ir remotes? | 03:55 |
| tinin | keytouch ? | 03:56 |
| yowwww | Izinucs - does it use the UID of the HD? | 03:56 |
| yowwww | under settings in the main menu cary_jebus ? or system or something along those lines | 03:56 |
| yowwww | should open the control panel | 03:56 |
| Izinucs | yowwww: I'll check but I've gotta boot the live cd.. by the way I've tried the live and alternate. | 03:56 |
| JohnPhys | Is there any way to use the kernel ntfs (read only) driver to mount ntfs partitions, without using ntfs-3g/fuse? I ask because I would like to do so to rescue ntfs partitions that ntfs-3g cannot mount, but both /sbin/mount.ntfs and /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g point to /bin/ntfs-3g, and I cannot seem to find a command that will let me mount using the kernel driver. Was this feature completely removed? Thank you for your time and | 03:56 |
| Bodsda | cary_jebus, you may have more luck in #kubuntu | 03:56 |
| tinin | kanyremote will00? | 03:56 |
| reya276 | what is the current kernel for hardy 8.04? the update was 2.6.24-18-generic | 03:56 |
| will00 | ok | 03:56 |
| yowwww | Izinucs - neither of them boot after the install? | 03:57 |
| JohnPhys | reya276: it was -17 before the update | 03:57 |
| crimsun | reya276: -19.33 | 03:57 |

| Mr_Milenko | stupid question... anyone know how to automount NTFS drives | 03:57 |
| Mr_Milenko | lol | 03:57 |
| Izinucs | yowwww: nope.. and the drive is brand spanking new.. | 03:57 |
| tinin | !ntfs3g | 03:57 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 03:57 |
| yowwww | size cary_jebus ? | 03:57 |
| Mr_Milenko | thankyou tinin | 03:57 |
| yowwww | errr Izinucs | 03:57 |
| tinin | np | 03:57 |
| Mr_Milenko | man i havent used linux in ages.. | 03:58 |
| reya276 | crimsun: well I did all the updates and yesterday it was 2.6.24-18-generic and now is 2.6.24.16-generic and my system is acting weird | 03:58 |
| Jordan_U | JohnPhys, What error are you getting when you try to mount with ntfs-3g? Have you tried mounting read only? | 03:58 |
| Izinucs | yowwww: that's my response too.. been on ubuntu since Breezy Badger.. this one stumps me. | 03:58 |
| Mr_Milenko | last i used this was when reading NTFS was considered bad.. | 03:58 |
| Mr_Milenko | lol | 03:58 |
| Bodsda | !lol | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 03:58 |
| yowwww | Izinucs go to pm? | 03:58 |
| Izinucs | k | 03:58 |
| tinin | now it is even better than in winblows Mr_Milenko | 03:59 |
| reya276 | crimsun: How can I make sure I'm using 2.6.24-18 because I compiled some drivers for this update | 03:59 |
| will00 | tinin, that works great for cell phones, but im using an actual remote control | 03:59 |
| Jordan_U | reya276, uname -r | 03:59 |
| tinin | but you should use ext3 to avoid fragmentation Mr_Milenko | 03:59 |
| Mr_Milenko | i dualboot | 03:59 |
| Mr_Milenko | all of my media is on an NTFS partition | 04:00 |
| JohnPhys | Jordan_U: it was a lot of buffer i/o errors, couldn't determine the number of somethings (clusters maybe?) I don't have the drive available now (it was a friends), but another friend was able to access it using a debian disk and the kernel ntfs driver, so I'm wondering how to od it from a livecd. I did not try mounting it read only, though that is a good idea. | 04:00 |
| Mr_Milenko | Got to access my music :) | 04:00 |

| tinin | no idea then, will00, but I'm interested in that too. I read Mythtv or other media centers have support for that | 04:00 |
| Takeshi | hey, i need to update my bios on an acer aspire 5315 notebook. acer haven't provided a tool to flash it from anything except windows or DOS | 04:00 |
| Mr_Milenko | You guys have made it quite easy to migrate from windows, and I thankyou. | 04:01 |
| will00 | tinin, they do, and i know lirc supports my remote/reciever but i cant seem to get it to work | 04:01 |
| Takeshi | could i do it under WINE or would i be better using something like the UBCD to start freeDOS | 04:01 |
| Bodsda | your welcome Mr_Bad_News | 04:01 |
| Bodsda | Mr_Milenko, | 04:01 |
| jonas22 | how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to 192.168.0.1:1234 to 127.0.0.1:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on 127.0.0.1 and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon. | 04:02 |
| Takeshi | and if i'm using the UBCD and some sort of DOS, how do i access the bios flashing utility? just put it in a directory on the HDD? | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | JohnPhys, I think it's much more likely that the important difference was read only vs RW rather than ntfs-3g vs old kernel driver, but you should be able to apt-get remove fuse from the liveCD and mount -t ntfs and I think it will use the kernel driver | 04:02 |
| exoplasm | jonas22: if it only listens on 127.0.0.1 i dont know how you could trick it into listening elsewhere with firewall configs... | 04:03 |
| root | \nick Billybeans | 04:04 |
| root | hi | 04:04 |
| === root is now known as poooop | ||
| poooop | hi | 04:04 |
| JohnPhys | Jordan_U: I'm not so sure about that, as I think mount -t ntfs just uses mount.ntfs, which points to /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g, which uses the fuse stuff. You may be right on the rw vs. ro though, it's a good point. Still, I'd like to be able to use the kernel driver if needed (the ntfs module is still shipped, so it's *there*, but I can't find a command to use it!) | 04:04 |
| poooop | hi | 04:04 |
| poooop | can anyoner see me? | 04:04 |
| Bodsda | yes | 04:04 |
| Leefmc | Question: I am trying to create a new partition for /home from root, and GParted's options are all greyed out. I am digging through docs, but they haven't mentioned anything relevant yet, anyone have any idea? | 04:04 |
| Takeshi | sure, i see you | 04:04 |
| poooop | hi | 04:04 |
| Takeshi | sup? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: you'll need a liveCD, as you can't edit mounted partitions | 04:05 |
| karl | any help? new to linux and ubuntu, how to download bit torrents? | 04:05 |
| JohnPhys | Leefmc: You have to umount the drive you want to create the partition on | 04:05 |
| poooop | how do i get Zelda for the ubuntu? | 04:05 |
| Leefmc | Flannel, Ah suck haha, all this again :D. So i guess im sort of hosed, oh well, i'll wait till i need to reinstall | 04:05 |
| tinin | Zelda the game? | 04:05 |
| Mr_Milenko | Depends... a Zelda Clone or.. are you trying to emulate a rom? | 04:05 |
| Leefmc | JohnPhys, Can you unmount a partition your using? | 04:05 |
| poooop | yes | 04:05 |
| Jordan_U | poooop, Which version? | 04:06 |
| tinin | ubuntugames.org | 04:06 |
| poooop | i want zelda the game,, im stuck in 1989 | 04:06 |
| poooop | for life | 04:06 |
| Mr_Milenko | O_o | 04:06 |

| mohamed_ | how to install minibuntu on HDD ? | 04:06 |
| exoplasm | i would recommend the tv series but i think that was the 90s... | 04:06 |
| Leefmc | Although i would be 3 years old at that time, none the less its funny. :) | 04:06 |

| tom_ | Is there a linux alternative to Remote Desktop? Yes I know about VNC, but I'd like support for audio and local devices (thumbdrives/etc). Plus I'd like to be able to stream video. I *could* just use XP but I just got my wife to warm up to Ubuntu and I don't want to take a step backwards... | 04:07 |
| Mr_Milenko | what the hell im not flooding | 04:07 |
| reya276 | Jordan_U: none of the updates that I did yesterday and today and there, the kernel update is non-existent and I know for a fact that I had done two of there kernel updates one was 2.6.24-17 and the other 2.6.24.18 but now the only ones present are 2.6.24-16 and 2.6.24.12 which is very odd | 04:07 |
| exoplasm | tom_: Check out FreeNX and NoMachine NX | 04:07 |
| Leefmc | Mr_Milenko, yes, you are. ;P | 04:07 |
| Mr_Milenko | not on purpose :P | 04:07 |
| Takeshi | did anyone answer my question earlier about flashing my bios? | 04:07 |
| tom_ | exoplasm: reading now...thanks :-) | 04:08 |
| Mr_Milenko | what make and model of your PC Takeshi? | 04:08 |
| JohnPhys | Leefmc: No, you can't umount a partition you're running ubuntu from. | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | tom_, ssh -X will do the audio redirection ( in hardy and newer with pulseaudio sound server enabled ) though not the local devices | 04:08 |
| Mr_Milenko | who made it, what kind of board etc | 04:08 |
| Takeshi | mr_milenko: acer aspire 5315 | 04:08 |
| Leefmc | JohnPhys, Ah, didnt think so. Oh well im hosed hehe. Not insanely important i spose :) | 04:08 |
| tom_ | Jordan_U: I'm trying to run virtual desktops from some free Windows XP embedded machines I got from work | 04:08 |
| Takeshi | need the update because my cpu fan doesn't spin once the OS starts :-/ | 04:08 |
| Mr_Milenko | laptop? | 04:09 |
| Leefmc | Mr_Milenko, Me? Yes, with no/bad CD Drive | 04:09 |
| Takeshi | Mr_milenko: yeah | 04:09 |
| Leefmc | n/m :D | 04:09 |
| Mr_Milenko | floppy drive? | 04:09 |
| ubuntu | hi | 04:09 |
| reya276 | Jordan_U: could Startup manager have cause this, I clicked on "Restore Defaults" | 04:09 |
| tinin | tom_ you could launch graphical apps with: ssh -X user@your.ip:port(22 by default) | 04:09 |
| JohnPhys | Leefmc: You can certainly unmount *other* partitions, just not the one that / is on. You can change/shrink them from a livecd though, since that won't have mounted your partitions. | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | tom_, I think the only thing likely to do what you want easily would be NX | 04:09 |
| fred_ | anybody tried the lil asus subnotebook with the solid state disk? | 04:09 |
| Mr_Milenko | Takeshi: ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5315/vista/Bios/v1.21.zip | 04:09 |
| JohnPhys | Jordan_U: Any ideas on where to hunt for the way ot use the kernel ntfs driver? | 04:09 |
| Mr_Milenko | Googles your friend homie :P | 04:10 |
| tom_ | Jordan_U: thanks. So FreeNX is the free version of NoMachineNX? | 04:10 |
| exoplasm | Mr_Milenko: i think the issue is you cant install it from linux | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | tom_, Yes | 04:10 |
| lynoox | I am having some trouble with mdadm / RAID. The disks are new, and seem to be okay, but when attempting to access the array, I get a bunch of ata3 errors, and the machine eventually locks. | 04:10 |
| Takeshi | mr_milenko: i've already got 1.21 | 04:10 |
| Mr_Milenko | yeah well your fan is screwed correct? | 04:10 |
| tom_ | Jordan_U: I like free. It's my favorite price :-) I'll check it out..thanks for the heads up! | 04:10 |
| Mr_Milenko | RE-Flash the bios | 04:10 |
| Mr_Milenko | ;) | 04:10 |
| Leefmc | JohnPhys, Yea, but i can't use livecd (though some weird alternative may be possible via network.. but network is a pain heh). I'm fine for now. At the moment, all i can install ubuntu by is using the mini-iso, so next time i install ubuntu i'll be sure to setup a /home (i think it lets me.. i can't recall) | 04:10 |
| exoplasm | tom_: there is a free as in beer official version of NX, FreeNX is open source clone that i dont think is updated yet for hardy | 04:10 |
| khajavi | HELP: I want to join irc.gnome.org, via pidgin, any one could help me? | 04:10 |
| bullgard4 | [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? | 04:10 |
| Takeshi | mr_milenko: i can't flash the bios, and there's newer boises than 1.21 | 04:11 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, Sure, whats the problem? | 04:11 |
| Mr_Milenko | oi.. | 04:11 |
| JohnPhys | Leefmc: Alrighty. Yes, it does let you set up a separate home partition. | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | tom_, I am not sure what features it has and it was a pain to setup last time I tried but it's seems likely the most 'comprehensive' service available right now | 04:11 |
| Mr_Milenko | dude you make a bootlfoppy | 04:11 |
| Takeshi | mr=_milenko:well, actually, i haven't tried to flash the bios, that's what i was asking | 04:11 |
| tom_ | Jordan_U: Which one? FreeNX? | 04:11 |
| Mr_Milenko | using DOS | 04:11 |
| fred_ | @ khajavi:: i had problems with pidgin, too... concerning irc, i really prefer a conventional client | 04:11 |
| Mr_Milenko | download the archive, open the CL50121-Dos folder | 04:11 |
| Mr_Milenko | put that on a bootable dos floppy | 04:11 |
| Mr_Milenko | boot from the floppy | 04:12 |
| Takeshi | mr_milenko: i asked whether i could use the windows bios update tool through wine | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | tom_, I really don't know what the practical differences are if any between the two | 04:12 |
| Mr_Milenko | trust me dude.. this is alot easier | 04:12 |
| Mr_Milenko | lol | 04:12 |
| exoplasm | tom_: http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=5 | 04:12 |
| Mr_Milenko | sorry.. | 04:12 |
| exoplasm | tom_: it's super easy to setup | 04:12 |
| Takeshi | still don't have a floppy drive, dude | 04:12 |
| tom_ | exoplasm: is nomachine free? | 04:12 |
| exoplasm | tom_: just make sure to install openssh | 04:12 |
| Mr_Milenko | you just said you had one.. | 04:12 |
| khajavi | fred_: what do you suggest me? | 04:12 |
| exoplasm | tom_: that is the free version (not open source) | 04:12 |
| reya276 | Jordan_U: is it possible to force the system to re-download the updates? | 04:12 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, I agree with fred_ , XChat is nice, and Gnome-XChat is decent. But if you want to, simply go to manage accounts, make a new irc account, give it the url's, etc | 04:12 |
| fred_ | i'm using Gnome-XChat right now | 04:12 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, Were you having specific problems? Pidgin not connecting, etc | 04:12 |
| reya276 | is it possible to force the system to re-download the updates? | 04:13 |
| fred_ | feeling good in here | 04:13 |
| tom_ | exoplasm: as long as I don't have to pay :-p. Having a wife saps your money | 04:13 |
| tom_ | thanks for the help everyone! | 04:13 |
| Takeshi | what? no i didn't? | 04:13 |
| Mr_Milenko | I mis-read what you said my apologies | 04:13 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, Imo, Depending on your needs, XChat is best. XChat offers much more, since Gnome-XChat seems to be a stripped down version of XChat | 04:13 |
| Jalathan | Takeshi: i'd reccommend getting a base copy of MSDOS (or a clone) working so that it can boot a CD | 04:13 |
| Mr_Milenko | he doesnt have a cdrom either | 04:13 |
| willwh | irssi is the best IRC client, hands down :) | 04:14 |
| Jalathan | oh | 04:14 |
| khajavi | but I like pidgin :-D | 04:14 |
| === richard is now known as kingbilly | ||
| Jalathan | hrm | 04:14 |
| Jalathan | USB boot support? | 04:14 |
| Mr_Milenko | what you could do though.. is open gparted | 04:14 |
| Takeshi | that's what i was thinking with the ultimate boot cd | 04:14 |
| Leefmc | willwh, No python scripting support, == no Leefmc :D | 04:14 |
| alan_m | to whomever that helped me with my .dmrc issues, thank you! it worked! | 04:14 |
| Takeshi | it comes with freeDOS | 04:14 |
| exoplasm | Takeshi: make a bootable usb stick with dos on it! :D | 04:14 |
| willwh | Leefmc: every plugin/script for irssi is written in perl :P | 04:14 |
| khajavi | thanks for all I check them soon | 04:14 |
| Leefmc | willwh, I know ;) | 04:14 |
| Mr_Milenko | hold on.. do you have a CDRom? | 04:14 |
| reya276 | How can I force my system to re-download all the updates for the past two days? | 04:15 |
| bullgard4 | [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? | 04:15 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, As i asked before then, what are you having problems with? Simply making an irc acount? Or are you having actual connection issues | 04:15 |
| Jalathan | Takeshi: all you need to have is command.com and a few other files... | 04:15 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, (If you answered and i did not see, sorry. Please reply directly to me so it gets flagged) | 04:15 |
| fred_ | @khajavi ... stay safe, i'm off to zzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ good night everyone | 04:15 |
| Takeshi | how easy is it to make a bootable usb stick with windows on it, and how big a stick would i need? would 128mb do? | 04:15 |
| willwh | Takeshi: why would you want to do that? :( | 04:16 |
| khajavi | Leefmc: I insert irc.gnome.org in server and my nick name but it didnt connect to irc | 04:16 |
| alan_m | !windows | Takeshi | 04:16 |

| Jalathan | Takeshi: why are you wanting to update your bios anyways? | 04:16 |
| Mr_Milenko | Takeshi: you can make a bootable DOS USB pen | 04:16 |
| Mr_Milenko | Jalathan, he said his fan stops on booting of the Operating System | 04:16 |
| exoplasm | hmm i've installed virtualbox (nonfree) but i dont see it in any menus... do i need to do something for it to show up? | 04:16 |
| Jalathan | *sigh* i need to find a way to split the connects/disconnects and the chat... | 04:17 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, You selected IRC protocol too i assume. Did you get connection errors? Did it "tell" you anything? | 04:17 |
| Jalathan | good reason though | 04:17 |
| Mr_Milenko | Thanks for the help guys, I'm off to configure my system | 04:17 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, One reason i don't like pidgin for IRC, is it sort of hides IRC. Perhaps thats your issue? | 04:17 |
| Bodsda | hey guys, is it possible to have twin channel view in xchat? so i can see the chat in two channels simultaineously? | 04:17 |
| bullgard4 | Bodsda: Why don't you open two instances of Xchat? | 04:18 |
| khajavi | Leefmc: ok, I will install alternate IRC software | 04:18 |
| Bodsda | bullgard1, cause i dont want to | 04:18 |
| reya276 | Can anyone please help, I need to make sure kernel 2.6.24.18 loads and not 2.6.24-16 | 04:19 |
| tommy_ | how can I tell what partition Ubuntu is using for swap file? | 04:19 |
| Jalathan | Takeshi: this might be of help: http://www.nenie.org/misc/flashbootcd.html | 04:19 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, Give Gnome-XChat a try, but i found its features too limited. If you know you want more, go ahead with XChat or irssi | 04:19 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, many like irssi | 04:19 |
| tommy_ | i changed partition that I want Hardy to use for swap. How do I tell Hardy to use the new partition? | 04:19 |
| khajavi | Leefmc: thanks alot | 04:19 |
| tommy_ | !swap | 04:20 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 04:20 |
| Takeshi | jalathan: there's some kind of bug, because the machine was built for Vista (and its a "budget" model, with very liuttle support for anything a "casual" user wouldn't do) so when the OS starts, something to do with APCI, my CPU fan stops spinning | 04:20 |
| Leefmc | khajavi, np, nice to be able to help some haha. Considering all the help i've recieved here as of late (my first ubuntu install) | 04:20 |
| Jordan_U | Johnny_5, I don't have any ntfs partitions to test it with but it seems that even if I rename /bin/ntfs-3g to /bin/ntfs-3g-bak mount still gets far enough to get errors like "NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume." so I think it is using the kernel driver somehow ( though that is just a guess ) | 04:20 |
| reya276 | On my Kern.log it says that 2.6.24-18 was install but only 2.6.24-16 is on the /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 04:20 |

| tommy_ | khajavi, sdc3 is my new swap partition I want Hardy to use. WHat command I use? | 04:22 |

| Takeshi | i tried asking in #debian, but they wouldn't take me seriously, (i was gonna go back to debian, just out of curiosity, cos its been a while, but the cpu fan stopped whern the installer started, so it kept overheating and dying, mid-install) | 04:27 |
| dfox1 | tommy: try 'swapon' and the partition that you reserved for swap. (or swapon -a) | 04:27 |
| tommy_ | khajavi, stop trolling dude. please dont waste my time. if u dont know, just dont give any advice | 04:27 |
| tommy_ | dfox1, what do u mean? | 04:27 |
| JohnPhys | tommy_: He's not trolling, though the advice might not be the most descriptive. | 04:27 |
| Flannel | bluewook: a few ways, you can either move it to the to (above ##begin debian automagic kernel list, not just up with the kernels) or add "savedefault" after the entry in your menu.lst and change the "default" to "saved" (near the top of the config) | 04:28 |

| kingbilly | tommy_, dfox1 raised a good point, | 04:30 |
| tommy_ | what point? | 04:30 |
| Flannel | bluewook: No, this'll be something you'll edit once you get into Ubuntu. Then after that, you'll want to choose XP once, and after that, it will be the default | 04:30 |
| tommy_ | dfox1, yes I did | 04:30 |
| bluewook | Ok cool, thanks :) | 04:31 |
| kingbilly | tommy_, currently, ubuntu is not using a seperate partition for swap | 04:31 |
| iuri | does anyone use openvpn around here?? | 04:31 |
| tommy_ | dfox1, I made a seperate partiion, told gparted to use as linux swap. Then I restored an old Hardy backup. And im runnning hardy now, but it doesnt seem to be using my swap partition. what can I do? | 04:31 |
| dfox1 | tommy: you have /dev/sdc7 set as your swap partition. Do (sudo) # swapon /dev/hdc7) see what happens | 04:31 |
| Takeshi | GogDaen: no, but i can pretty much talk you through running those....although it's not a great chip for 3d, it's the onboard in all my desktop machines | 04:31 |

| jedimind | what is /dev/sda1 normally ? | 04:32 |
| tommy_ | dfox1, how come Hardy is running fine if its not using any swap partition? | 04:32 |
| jedimind | its a mount, but not sure what device (how do i check) | 04:32 |
| Flannel | tommy_: Because you dont need a swap partition | 04:32 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: yes, depends on what make/modell you have | 04:32 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, what????????????? :P | 04:32 |
| Flannel | tommy_: Swap is not required | 04:32 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, really? I didnt know that | 04:32 |
| bullgard4 | [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? | 04:33 |
| dfox1 | tommy: it'll run OK depending on how much RAM you have and what apps you use. But at some point you really should have the swap on | 04:33 |
| askvictor | tommy_: you only need swap if you run out of RAM | 04:33 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: deluo gps universal | 04:33 |
| Takeshi | tommy_:a swap partition is virtual memory, the equivalent of windows "pagefile.sys" | 04:33 |
| Flannel | tommy_: If you've got enough RAM, sure. If you run out of RAM... things start going poorly | 04:33 |

| kingbilly | tommy_, which partition did you want to use again | 04:33 |
| tommy_ | kingbilly, sdc3 | 04:34 |
| jedimind | how do i find out what a specific mount is (/dev/sda1 for example) - what drive it is ? | 04:34 |
| dfox1 | tommy: what will probably happen is apps will randomly quit due to an out of memory killer process. | 04:34 |
| askvictor | tommy_: hardy prolly won't freeze, but applications might. You won't be able to start new apps | 04:34 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: I have been googling all nite, and i see some have it running. No luck yet. I'll try linux instead of ubuntu or debian real quick | 04:34 |

| kingbilly | tommy_, can you paste the output of " sudo fdisk -l | 04:34 |

| tommy_ | kingbilly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17798/ | 04:35 |
| dfox1 | tommy: for instance. there was this time an aquaintance (back in the very early days of linux) didn't have a swap parrtition and only had a couple of megs of RAM. he told me that closing emacs took 45 minutes | 04:35 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, ok thanks | 04:35 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: from what I understand there is support for your gps | 04:35 |
| tommy_ | askvictor, behave, dont tease me :) | 04:35 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, I will use gparted and remove the 800MB swap partition then :) | 04:36 |
| jedimind | why is it when i run fsck it says that running it might cause serious problems with mounted drives (then lists my primary drive) ? | 04:36 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, is personal data written and stored on the swap partition? | 04:36 |
| jedimind | WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. | 04:36 |
| askvictor | tommy_: really depends on what you're doing. Go to system->admin->system monitor->resources to see how much you're using, or the processes tab to see individual processes usage. Firefox is using 210Mb on mine atm | 04:36 |
| Flannel | jedimind: Because you shouldn't fsck a mounted drive. If you want to fsck it, sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot | 04:36 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: is it usb or bluetooth? | 04:36 |

| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: i know some folks have got it going. I have already modprobed pl2303...is usb | 04:37 |
| jedimind | Flannel: okay but why is my primary drive mounted ? | 04:37 |
| dfox1 | tommy: why not enable it? Take the comment # out of the fstab, save it, when you remount after boot it should find it and automaticallly add it | 04:37 |
| Flannel | jedimind: Probably because Linux is on it? | 04:37 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: then do lsusb | 04:37 |

| jedimind | Flannel: yeah live cd might be a good option | 04:41 |
| askvictor | nouMenon: tar.gz is like a zip file. You first need to extract the files. | 04:41 |
| jedimind | im gonna reboot and see if it works - wish me luck | 04:41 |
| nouMenon | askvictor: I extracted the files but now I can't do anything with them | 04:41 |
| tenX | nouMenon: okay thought you were in trouble extracting the archives content. usually you should stick to the INSTALL or README supplied. generally a "make" and "make install" should do your job | 04:41 |

| st1100pilot | On all your machines? | 04:58 |
| Takeshi | holyguyver: nope, sorry. i have it on my laptop, but if you've been here a while, you'll have seen that i can't really have that on for long, due to sill ACPI/bios dificulties. if nobody else can help you, try asking in #audacity, #ubuntustudio, or aks me again in a couple of hours | 04:58 |

| Flannel | jedimind: memtest | 04:59 |
| jonny1-26 | et | 04:59 |
| st1100pilot | slushpuppy\: Gotcha. Sorry, can't help with VM stuff. Maybe somebody else in here can. If anything, use the Ubuntu forums. | 04:59 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: just give me one of them | 04:59 |
| pokerfacepenguin | gives me 16 entries | 04:59 |
| askvictor | almostdvs: dunno; haven't used it myself, but looks nice. Most backup tools will do that tho | 04:59 |
| slushpuppy\ | Thanks anyway st1100pilot. | 04:59 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: give me one of them | 04:59 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: /dev/usbdev1.7_ep00 | 04:59 |
| Takeshi | slushpuppy: what VM software are you using? | 04:59 |
| mikejoconnor | I'm having trouble finding a mirror for edgy eft, any suggestions? | 05:00 |

| Tstantonfsu | after i put sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator in hte terminal what do i do for the leapord docking thing? :x | 05:00 |
| AndreusI | Hi guys, I'm having repetetive issues with booting. | 05:00 |
| Flannel | mikejoconnor: Edgy is no longer supported, you should upgrade. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 05:00 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: if that is the port you connected the gps to | 05:00 |
| jimdandy | jahnkeanater: only you can answer that | 05:00 |
| frances | and a new on ubuntu too..:) | 05:00 |
| SeaPhor | where do i ask questions about ubuntu server? | 05:00 |
| jahnkeanater | i don know mutch python | 05:00 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: here, or #ubuntu-server | 05:01 |
| mikejoconnor | Flannel: Thanks, that's what I was afraid of | 05:01 |
| frances | can somebody help me here... | 05:01 |
| AndreusI | #ubuntu-server | 05:01 |
| Takeshi | slushpuppy\:which end are you doing the transfer from? | 05:01 |
| Starnestommy | SeaPhor: this channel or #ubuntu-server | 05:01 |
| Starnestommy | frances: with what> | 05:01 |
| Starnestommy | *? | 05:01 |
| slushpuppy\ | Takeshi: I am doing the transfer from the ubuntu end. | 05:01 |
| jahnkeanater | is there a program that can convert music files | 05:01 |
| jahnkeanater | fo ubuntu | 05:01 |
| fredmv | I have a `picky' question regarding fonts in Xfce4. | 05:01 |
| askvictor | almostdvs: I assume by easy you mean not involving the command line? Coz personally I'd use something like rsync or rdiff-backup started by a cron job. | 05:01 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: how would I have known that? am I changing permissions willy nilly here? | 05:01 |
| cary_jebus | OMFG | 05:01 |
| Tstantonfsu | i installed avant-window-navigator or what ever its called through the terminal now what do i do to use it? | 05:01 |
| Takeshi | slushpuppy: grabbing files from a share on the VM, or copying to a share? | 05:01 |
| morphir_ | hehe | 05:01 |
| Flannel | mikejoconnor: 18 months. Has been unsupported for over a month now. But that repo will work in the meantime (of course, it wont change day to day) | 05:02 |
| cary_jebus | were the hell can I download screenlets | 05:02 |
| jimdandy | jahnkeanter: you could look into ruby also. basically you need to pass your files to a conversion tool, lame is good and will allow you to create proper id3 tag info also | 05:02 |
| Takeshi | slushpuppy\: grabbing files from a share on the VM, or copying to a share? | 05:02 |
| st1100pilot | carey_jebus: type "sudo apt-get install screenlets" into the terminal | 05:02 |
| AndreusI | So guys, something has happened to my copy of ubuntu server, and now to my copy of ubuntu server with the ubuntu desktop modules loaded using apt-get that renders the system completely unable to boot, even in recovery mode. | 05:02 |
| slushpuppy\ | Takeshi: copying files, from ubuntu, to a shared folder. | 05:02 |
| fredmv | Basically, ever since I upgraded to Hardy/Xubuntu, the fonts in some apps (notable in the terminal and on audacious) look a little blurry. I tried messing with the anti-aliasing settings but to no avail... ? | 05:02 |
| mikejoconnor | Flannel: thanks for the help | 05:02 |
| jahnkeanater | thanks i will try those | 05:02 |
| frances | anybody here?.....", | 05:03 |
| dfox1 | no | 05:03 |
| Takeshi | slushpuppy\:maybe try sharing the folder in ubuntu, then grabbing them the other way? | 05:03 |
| Tstantonfsu | i installed avant-window-navigator or what ever its called through the terminal now what do i do to use it? | 05:03 |
| Flannel | mikejoconnor: Also, once you've upgraded to Feisty, you may consider going to Gutsy at that time, since Feisty will only be supported for another four months | 05:03 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: I appreciate your valiant effort...i believe i need to research this more | 05:03 |
| slushpuppy\ | Hmm, Takeshi, do you have a tutorial? | 05:03 |
| AndreusI | It repeatedly produces "exception Emask" errors on ata2.00 | 05:03 |
| jedimind | Flannel: im guessing memtest doesnt come prepackaged? | 05:03 |
| mikejoconnor | what's the latest lts release? | 05:03 |
| askvictor | frances: ask again (a lot's happened since your first try :) | 05:03 |
| mikejoconnor | gusty? | 05:03 |
| Starnestommy | mikejoconnor: 8.04 | 05:03 |
| Starnestommy | mikejoconnor: aka Hardy Heron | 05:03 |
| Flannel | jedimind: Its on all CDs, as well as should be in your GRUB menu already. | 05:03 |
| * mikejoconnor nods | 05:04 | |
| dmb | AndreusI: i acually had the same issue | 05:04 |
| fredmv | Anyone have any clue why fonts are blurry on Xfce4/Xubuntu? | 05:04 |
| Takeshi | slushpuppy\: um....no, i don't tend to document my adventures in filesharing....or anything else i do....once it works, i usually just forget how i did it. | 05:04 |
| Flannel | jedimind: It'll be the last entry in your grub menu, and it should be somewhere near the bottom on all Ubuntu CDs | 05:04 |
| jimdandy | Can anyone help me with a usb boot of the hardy alternate cd? | 05:04 |
| dmb | turns out my hard drive was dead | 05:04 |
| legend2440 | jahnkeanater: sounconverter in synaptic is pretty good. it has a GUI and can convert a whole folder of files | 05:04 |
| jedimind | Flannel: is there anything i can run while ubuntu is running? | 05:04 |
| askvictor | fredmv: you using the right resolution? | 05:04 |
| dmb | AndreusI: do you use encryption? | 05:04 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: how do i undo the chmod to reset remove the world permissions on that file? | 05:04 |
| will00 | is there anything like irkick for gnome? | 05:04 |
| slushpuppy\ | It's alright Takeshi, I found one, thanks Takeshi, st1100pilot | 05:04 |
| legend2440 | jahnkeanater: soundconverter in synaptic is pretty good. it has a GUI and can convert a whole folder of files | 05:04 |
| AndreusI | dmb: No, the machine is new, and for some reason it went away after a while after the installation of ubuntu server | 05:04 |
| Flannel | jedimind: No idea. But there are obvious problems with that (since Linux would be using some of the RAM, etc) | 05:04 |
| AndreusI | But it came back when I apt-get'd the modules for ubuntu desktop | 05:05 |
| dmb | don't know then | 05:05 |
| st1100pilot | slushpuppy\: NP | 05:05 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: -rw? | 05:05 |
| AndreusI | It's sitting over the other side of the room repeating the same error message ad infinitum. | 05:05 |
| balleyne | can anyone help me with using a projector on my laptop? | 05:05 |
| jedimind | Flannel: how do i get into grub on boot? just hit esc ? | 05:05 |
| Raspberry | what's the DKMS build system? | 05:05 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: got it...thanks | 05:05 |
| Flannel | jedimind: right after POST, yeah. When it says "press escape to view your GRUB menu" | 05:05 |
| jedimind | ok brb again wish me luck | 05:06 |
| Takeshi | speaking of virtualisation....anyone heard any news about anyone getting 3d acceleration working in a windows VM under ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| Flannel | jedimind: There is "memtester" which will test it in Linux, but not all of it | 05:06 |
| will00 | is there a way to mask gnome application so they show up in a program like irkick | 05:06 |
| AndreusI | I thought at first it might be an issue with my memory since I mistook its error message for a memory address, so I ran a full memtest. | 05:06 |
| almostdvs | if i want my windows partition to do backups, should i set that up before i install ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| edwardk_ | is gnome able to change wallpapers like in kde with its slideshow mode | 05:06 |
| Takeshi | i read about a program that could do it a couple of years ago, but it only worked on certain multi-core CPUs | 05:06 |
| jimdandy | brb | 05:06 |
| frances | ive installed ubuntu inside my windows... | 05:06 |
| fredmv | askvictor, yeah, I don't think it's a resolution issue. It seems to be an effect of the anti-aliasing/sub-pixel rendering in Xfce. I just hate how it looks, altered the settings, and it didn't change anything. | 05:06 |
| slushpuppy\ | Hi again, silly question, I don't see "Shared folders" under system -> administration :S. | 05:07 |
| frances | how can I view my windows files inside my ubuntu?... | 05:07 |
| permanewb | I'm running 7.10. In KDE, in system settings, clicking the administrator mode button does not take me into administrator mode, and I am not prompted for a password. Do you know what that can be about? | 05:07 |
| tenX | frances: mount the drive? | 05:07 |
| Starnestommy | frances: ntfs-3g | 05:07 |
| morphir_ | pokerfacepenguin: you should have access to the device now, yes? | 05:07 |
| darth | sounds like frances is running windows under emulation | 05:07 |
| darth | so mounting the drive is not possible | 05:08 |
| tenX | Starnestommy: that works automatically nowadays afaik | 05:08 |
| slushpuppy\ | frances: we are having the same problem :P | 05:08 |
| Railer | Hey what's the footprint of ubuntu installed? | 05:08 |
| askvictor | almostdvs: should be seperate really... | 05:08 |
| tenX | darth: emulation? | 05:08 |
| Starnestommy | Railer: about 2 GB? | 05:08 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: it didn't recognize in gpsdrive, so i removed what we just did to make it look like the rest of the permissons in those directories | 05:08 |
| Railer | thanks! | 05:08 |
| darth | yes tenX | 05:08 |
| frances | No, ive installed my ubuntu inside my windows, so ubuntu is my secondary OS... | 05:08 |
| darth | frances> ive installed ubuntu inside my windows.. | 05:08 |
| bullgard4 | [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? | 05:09 |
| tenX | darth: what kind? | 05:09 |
| tenX | darth: i must have missed it | 05:09 |
| darth | qemu, vmware whatever .) | 05:09 |
| pokerfacepenguin | morphir_: i found this... http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/haicom_hi-204e_usb_gps_on_linux.html which may be similiar...i am going to compile xgps since it seems alot of people use it | 05:09 |
| darth | well anyway.... make a share in your windows frances | 05:09 |
| Starnestommy | bullgard4: try ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf | 05:09 |
| darth | and then mount that share in your ubuntu | 05:09 |
| tenX | darth: okay, so file sharing should be realized via any kind of networking | 05:09 |
| darth | yup :) | 05:09 |
| tenX | :) | 05:09 |
| frances | well how do I mount my windows files?... | 05:10 |
| darth | :) | 05:10 |
| darth | with samba frances | 05:10 |
| tenX | frances: we are still not sure about you're setup.. so it depends | 05:10 |
| tenX | or scp | 05:10 |
| darth | yay | 05:10 |
| tenX | scp all the way ;) | 05:11 |
| darth | any kind of networking file sharing thing | 05:11 |
| darth | even ftp :) | 05:11 |
| darth | or http :) | 05:11 |
| darth | yay tenx scp ftw | 05:11 |
| FloodBot1 | darth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:11 |
| darth | hahahah sorry floodbot, i know i do that | 05:11 |
| tenX | darth: i dont talk to spammers :D | 05:11 |
| darth | lol beaten by a bot :) | 05:11 |
| frances | this is my situation....I have 2 partition....C: and D: Ive installed my ubuntu inside my windows under c: I can mount my D: but I cant view my C:, it changed into a file system.. | 05:11 |
| BlueLaguna | Will Ubuntu update the firefox debs when version 3 is officially released? | 05:12 |
| Starnestommy | BlueLaguna: it most likely will | 05:12 |
| darth | BlueLaguna, yeah they will | 05:12 |
| tenX | BlueLaguna: yes in case a stable release is out | 05:12 |
| BlueLaguna | Alright | 05:12 |
| BlueLaguna | Thanks | 05:12 |
| darth | btw i am new to ubuntu, i really love it | 05:12 |
| mikejoconnor | what is the equivilent of http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for security updates, or is it just included in the http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ repo ? | 05:12 |
| tenX | frances: your partition turned into a file system? :D sounds like a challenge | 05:12 |
| Starnestommy | mikejoconnor: there are no security updates | 05:13 |
| AndreusI | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=472056 <--- I have a problem identical to this person. | 05:13 |
| frances | what I just know is that I can view my windows file under mnt folder in my filesytem but my windows file is not there | 05:13 |
| mikejoconnor | Starnestommy: thanks | 05:13 |
| AndreusI | The system refuses to boot at all, just repeatedly continues throwing those error messages until I reboot it. | 05:13 |
| AndreusI | It seems this is a widespread issue and not related to the drive. | 05:13 |
| tenX | frances: your windows file? :D | 05:13 |
| bullgard1 | Starnestommy: Yes, that's it! Thank you very much for your help. | 05:13 |

| daemon3 | What's the media player called in Ubuntu? The one that isn't so popular at playing movies? I think I accidentally uninstalled it. | 05:16 |
| khajavi | central: via synaptic package manager install nvdia-XXX | 05:16 |
| tenX | who is ubottu? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | daemon3: reinstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 05:16 |
| tenX | some fake ubuntu installation? | 05:16 |
| almostdvs | daemon3: just use vlc | 05:16 |
| daemon3 | Flannel: I did. | 05:16 |
| DarkAudit | daemon3: totem? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | daemon3: then you have whatever came default | 05:16 |
| darth | daemon3.... gnome-player ? | 05:16 |
| daemon3 | DarkAudit: Totem is a movie player. It might be waht almostdvs said. | 05:16 |
| frances | how can I view my windows file?.......... | 05:16 |
| Flannel | !ntfs | frances | 05:16 |
| ubottu | frances: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE | 05:16 |
| daemon3 | Ah, no. I know it's kind of like Amarok. | 05:17 |
| frances | thnks..... | 05:17 |
| DarkAudit | daemon3: Totem is called simply "Movie Player" in the applications menu :p :) | 05:17 |
| almostdvs | you have to listen to what frances is saying... | 05:17 |
| darth | install gnome-mplayer | 05:17 |
| slushpuppy\ | Hi, how do I connect to a shared folder, created by ubuntu, from XP | 05:17 |
| central | ok thx i will try that hop it will work | 05:17 |
| ImThatNerd | Can anyone help me with my question above? :) | 05:17 |
| tenX | frances: you need to learn to specify your issues. if your partition is mounted as you mentioned earlier on you only need applications capable of opening your files | 05:17 |
| Flannel | !samba | slushpuppy\ | 05:17 |
| ubottu | slushpuppy\: 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. | 05:17 |
| daemon3 | Maybe it was VLC | 05:17 |
| almostdvs | he has an ubuntu installed inside windows (wubi?) and he needs to access a file that is in windows | 05:17 |
| askvictor | almostdvs: you might be lucky and it might work straight out of the box. http://blog.gunbladeiv.com/2008/05/hardy-heron-b43-broadcom-driver-setup.html otherwise download b43-fwcutter.deb and dpkg -i it after tje install | 05:18 |
| DarkAudit | daemon3: kind of like Amarok could be rhythmbox | 05:18 |
| frances | im checking what ubottu said..... | 05:18 |
| daemon3 | YES! Thank you. | 05:18 |
| daemon3 | :) | 05:18 |
| slushpuppy\ | almostdvs: I made a folder, shared, in ubuntu. Now I want to access it from XP | 05:18 |
| darth | that "ubuntu inside windows" sounds like either vmware or some other virtualisation | 05:18 |
| slushpuppy\ | Yeah, i am using a VM | 05:18 |
| Flannel | daemon3: wubi is neither | 05:18 |
| darth | and then mounting wont do, then he/she needs file sharing over network | 05:18 |
| Flannel | darth, wubi is neither | 05:18 |
| DarkAudit | daemon3: I plugged in my ipod and that's what started up | 05:19 |
| daemon3 | I just couldn't think of the nam.e I know the application, but I couldn't think of the name. Sort of like that operating system that gets on everyone's nerves. | 05:19 |
| almostdvs | askvictor: where can i find the b43... deb? | 05:19 |
| askvictor | almostdvs: should be in the normal repositories | 05:19 |
| darth | wubbi is ubuntu on fat/ntfs ? | 05:19 |

| trask | darth: lol what is my biggest problem with it. its too smooth, i had to swap to fluxbox just to get it to be atleast a little challenging. Atleast on slackware you can spend your are forces to learn new stuff all the time. | 05:40 |
| darth | ...and a section callled "this is how you recompile your kernel (without breaking stuff)" | 05:40 |

| balleyne | askvictor: yeah, I have the Fn+F7 button (LCD) set to run i810rotate, which has got the toggle working. It's just that a little portion of the screen gets cut off on the right side, on the external (projector), which is a pain for presentations :S | 05:41 |
| Technoviking | BonezAU: What does dmesg say about your wireless card when it fails | 05:41 |
| alan_m | tommy_, you asked that question earlier and were answered, did you forget? | 05:41 |
| darth | but very very UN-challenging | 05:41 |
| luddite | BonezAU : you have to add your modprobe commands to startup | 05:42 |
| alan_m | tommy_, swapoff | 05:42 |
| tommy_ | alan_m, i just deleted the swap partition. and rebooted. Is swap off? | 05:42 |
| darth | yes tommy_ | 05:42 |
| BonezAU | luddite, what modprobe commands would they be? i used ndisgtk to configure the windows driver. i'm a bit new at this | 05:42 |
| alan_m | tommy_, yeah it is if you did that. | 05:42 |
| tommy_ | alan_m, swapoff doesnt do anything | 05:42 |
| luddite | is it ndiswrapper? | 05:42 |
| tommy_ | darth, ok | 05:42 |
| askvictor | balleyne: does the projector have an autoadjust type button? | 05:42 |
| askvictor | balleyne: or you could try xvidtune | 05:43 |
| darth | i have a kernel-module loading question... where do i put that i want my computer to load a module on boot? | 05:43 |
| tommy_ | darth, Hardy doesnt have a swap partion anymore as I deleted the whole partition. So it is smart enough to realise that and turn swap off? | 05:43 |
| askvictor | darth: /etc/modules | 05:43 |
| luddite | BonezAU: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper | 05:43 |
| darth | tommy: you could make a swap-file if you wanted to | 05:44 |
| BonezAU | luddite, oh of course, thank you I will try that | 05:44 |
| tommy_ | darth, I dont need one | 05:44 |
| darth | i ran this 1GB laptop without swap for a week no problem | 05:44 |
| luddite | BonezAU: no probs | 05:44 |
| askvictor | tommy_: restart? | 05:44 |
| tommy_ | askvictor, i rebooted after I deleted the swap partition., and hardy seems to be running | 05:44 |
| balleyne | askvictor: ok, might check out xvidtune, it seems to be working now... but I don't trust it, lol | 05:45 |
| trask | darth: i see windows as something very different. if your a heavy gamer thers little option. if your a lucky homeuser that doesnt game or have a weird homebanking ubuntu is currently what is recommendable. | 05:45 |
| tommy_ | the swap partition doesnt exist anymore, so im wondering if Hardy is still trying to look at the partition where it used to be?? | 05:45 |
| darth | thnks askvictor | 05:45 |
| darth | ohhhh | 05:45 |
| darth | then nano /etc/fstab tommy | 05:45 |
| askvictor | tommy_: it should be fine, but you could also look in /etc/fstab and delete the line which has swap as the third thing | 05:45 |
| darth | and see if it still has the swap-mount | 05:45 |

| amenado | sortudo_78-> what does not work? | 05:58 |
| darth | i love fluxbox, it was my first gui in bsd | 05:58 |
| luddite | you need to install the madwifi drivers | 05:58 |

| Sergiu | hello | 06:00 |
| zero88 | hi | 06:00 |
| sortudo_78 | i ahve a dualboot windows work fine | 06:00 |
| darth | tenX, i like the bsd-license | 06:00 |
| darth | tenX: you use openbsd? | 06:00 |
| Sergiu | anyone know, what is more lightweight to CPU resources , ubuntu hardy or ubuntu gutsy? | 06:01 |
| tenX | darth: i am not too familiar with all of that license stuff i have to admit | 06:01 |
| Punyhuman | Hi, I have a HP d530s desktop PC, it's a few years old. I want to update the BIOS, but HP only supplies windows executables. Can anyone help? | 06:01 |
| Sergiu | i think that hardy needs more cpu requirements .. | 06:01 |
| amenado | sortudo_78-> are you booted to ubuntu now? can you paste your sudo ifconfig -a; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf | 06:01 |
| tenX | darth: i used to - got one of my 6 home systems running openbsd | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | Sergiu, I would guess Hardy, FF3 is certainly much leaner | 06:01 |
| sortudo_78 | ]i think that thise problem is a level under the hardware driver !!! | 06:01 |
| darth | home systems rule! | 06:02 |
| Sergiu | Jordan_U, i think with 1GB memory ubuntu will work much faster:):) | 06:02 |
| darth | paying electrical bills suck | 06:02 |
| sortudo_78 | i shure it is not a hardware problem, but i could be a level unedre driver problem, may be becose my processor is an amd turion 64? | 06:03 |
| darth | i have 4 computers running freebsd at home ;) | 06:03 |
| radius_ | ubuntu is nice wit 4 gigs | 06:03 |
| radius_ | :) | 06:03 |
| Sergiu | :rofl: | 06:03 |
| tenX | darth: i'd like to play around with openbsd a lot more but i lack the time :/ | 06:03 |
| darth | tenx: you should try freebsd | 06:03 |
| Sergiu | with 4 Gigs and vista is nice.. | 06:03 |
| tenX | darth: for what? | 06:03 |
| darth | its much easier to work with than openbsd | 06:03 |
| radius_ | vista = ghey | 06:03 |

| Kira | Good day. | 06:12 |
| jimdandy | redcuber: are you using disk encryption? | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | solrize, What happens when you try to run it, I thought that the ff3 tar.gz included both 32 and 64 bit compatibility | 06:12 |
| tenX | sortudo_78: not detecting 8139 would suck kinda | 06:12 |
| solrize | jordan_u it can't run firefox-bin | 06:13 |
| solrize | because it's 32 bit only | 06:13 |
| askvictor | tenX: well, it's the very last testing phase. If there are no major problems found, it becomes the release. If there are problems, then another RC is born. But to get out of beta and into RC it has to be stable. | 06:13 |
| sortudo_78 | tenX: i agree, but why these cards works on debian and do not on ubuntu? may be driver version ? | 06:13 |
| solrize | i installed libs-32 and now it works | 06:13 |

Using dd, I was able to copy the hd to mine, but ended up copying the MBR from the bad hd and overwriting my MBR. Is there a way to copy the contents of the bad hd into a folder on my computer? If it help, I'm using an IDE/SATA to USB converter. | 06:23 |
| Janice8954 | pulse audio? | 06:23 |

| scunizi | Janice8954, that's the new audio back end on Hardy | 06:24 |
| Janice8954 | Yeah, loads of Audacity problems | 06:24 |
| yell0w | JuzzyD: if it says direct rendering : no, then you're missing something, maybe linux-restricted-drivers | 06:24 |
| Janice8954 | Ah, crap. It did the same on windoze though. | 06:24 |
| Janice8954 | SO I don't think it's the audio server really. | 06:24 |

| Janice8954 | That usually solves the problem, and it can be found in Synaptic | 06:26 |
| sortudo_78 | vlc !!!! | 06:26 |
| Starnestommy | Filled-Void: because something broke in the new kernel or isn't compatible with it | 06:26 |
| Filled-Void | Starnestommy, Should I be removing it then? | 06:26 |

| randall | why does java run sluggish in ubuntu and is there a way to make it run better | 06:26 |
| Janice8954 | So no one knows how to Configure Jack? | 06:26 |
| JuzzyD | I certainly do | 06:26 |
| Starnestommy | Filled-Void: the new kernel's problems may be fixed sometime in the near future | 06:27 |
| tenX | HappyHater: vmware supports shared access on windows machines but it has been known for many security issues | 06:27 |
| scunizi | HappyHater, yes.. but it's usually easier to use ubuntu to access xp in the vm to copy things across. | 06:27 |

| natalisushka | Hey, I've got some issue with ubuntu on my laptop, in recent installations, I can't see configuration results like checking file system and starting apps while system boots, I even don't see the ubuntu slogan and Ubuntu word with the loading bar, anything after grub is dim and black, but then after 2 - 3 minutes I login to the system without any problem. This didn't happen 3 months ago! I installed ubuntu on this laptop since dapper and even | 07:11 |
| natalisushka | 7.10 and didn't see this, but now I see it although I reinstalled the system up to 10 times, still see it! what could the problem be? Also, when I try to switch to tty I get very big character, 4 words each line! Please help | 07:11 |
| mohamed | even canon will work but for MP510 they dont have driver they use MP500 | 07:11 |
| mohamed | which is not so sharp in printing | 07:11 |
| Mezo | Elo | 07:11 |
| ImThatNerd | Can someone message me if they know how to fix the problem? | 07:11 |
| nicodarious | elmargol, thanks! didn't see that in google search! | 07:11 |
| Mezo | My name is MIchal. | 07:11 |
| drash | Kira: ok, untested, but cups root is /usr/share/cups (been a while since i fiddled with cups) | 07:11 |

| Mezo | I from Polish. | 07:12 |

| nickrud | todd you aren't using the 3d hardware acceleration from your card | 07:16 |
| ImThatNerd | Manufactured by natami | 07:16 |
| drash | Kira: did you try making an empty file at that location (/etc/cups/printers.conf) and letting it go like that ? | 07:16 |
| mohamed | did you try googling it | 07:16 |
| Tann | Maybe this question would be more acurate: How do i set the owner of a file/directory in the terminal | 07:16 |
| nickrud | Tann chown <user>:<group> file | 07:17 |
| ImThatNerd | yes, nothing showed up for trying to get adobe flash player to recognize your ps2 eyetoy or logitech usb mic | 07:17 |
| Diaper_Rash | the rays are awesome | 07:17 |
| Starnestommy | Tann: chown | 07:17 |
| drash | Tann: check "chown --help" | 07:17 |

| ImThatNerd | I messaged you on here. Hey, that link on digg doesn't load. But I already had it installed and the correct drivers. I installed some webcam programs like XAWTV and it shows webcam video. But sites that require flash/adobe flash player for their webcams it doesn't recognize | 07:24 |
| drash | bpd1069: did you try with Inkscape ? | 07:24 |
| Starnestommy | !cloning | tmapj, did you try this | 07:24 |
| ubottu | tmapj, did you try this: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 07:24 |

| ImThatNerd | Do you have a link before you have to go? | 07:25 |
| mohamed | install adobe for linux | 07:25 |
| Diaper_Rash | so yeah | 07:25 |
| ImThatNerd | Okay i will google it | 07:25 |
| mohamed | sure it will solve your problem | 07:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bpd1069, yes. Windows doesn't want you to be able to see it, so they don't add support for it | 07:25 |
| ImThatNerd | Thanks I will check it out. | 07:26 |
| mohamed | they have adobe player for linux in adobe site itself | 07:26 |
| ImThatNerd | ok | 07:26 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Jman, I don't know anything about it, but I think there's a project that you can install that will add support | 07:27 |
| tmapj | Starnestommy: i got the following error: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade | 07:27 |

| Diaper_Rash | lol | 07:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | drash, Jman installed it in a new partition | 07:28 |
| nickrud | todd you can wait, or look into the fixes mentioned in that bug report, look for the stuff about ppa archives | 07:28 |
| Jman | I don't know about wubi, but i installed ubuntu in a seperate partition. | 07:28 |
| kellyswan | i tried wubi earlier | 07:28 |
| Jalathan | kellyswan, with work, nt, 2000, xp, & vista can, however, the way that the patches that i've found have trashed my drives | 07:28 |
| drash | Seven_Six_Two: ok, didn't get that | 07:28 |
| kellyswan | she loved it so much she's got me removing windows and doing ubuntu native | 07:28 |
| === Alvin_FN is now known as ce_luphee_cute | ||

| theRealBallchalk | is the ATI x600 card supported w/opengl? | 07:29 |
| kellyswan | no its a NTFS loopback root drive | 07:29 |

| prolefeed | Jman: maybe try this? http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html | 07:30 |

| tmapj | Starnestommy: after this backup, will the files that are on my system now but not in the list of packages be erased? | 07:31 |
| drash | Green: using gnome-screensaver ? if so, try "gnome-screensaver --help" | 07:31 |
| kellyswan | cause you have to deal with ntfs limitations | 07:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kellyswan, but still far faster than cd..yes? | 07:31 |
| kellyswan | and ext3 within an ntfs filesystem, | 07:31 |

| Starnestommy | tmapj: removing old bans | 07:44 |
| freakwent | tmap he warned us... | 07:44 |
| ompaul | tmapj, that is me removing bans | 07:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | frances, repartition your drive, copy the desired files to the new partition, then use the windows partition for a new install without touching the partition with the saved files | 07:44 |
| tmapj | ok | 07:44 |
| kelly_ | holy jesus | 07:44 |
| kelly_ | thats a lot of bans | 07:44 |

| eugen | hi, what is the username and password for ubuntu live cd? | 07:46 |
| tmapj | eugen its whatever you set it to | 07:46 |
| drash | frances: if you want to delete windows yes, now your ubuntu lives inside that so if you delete windows, ubuntu goed with it | 07:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | frances, you can use a live cd to repartition before you install if you don't have anywhere to backup to, but you'll have to reinstall | 07:46 |
| freakwent | loner start with ifconfig to see if it's listed as a device | 07:46 |
| Starnestommy | eugen: ubuntu, and I'm not sure if there is a password, but that might also be ubuntu | 07:46 |
| eugen | i done nothing... just booted from ubuntu cd | 07:46 |

| quantumelixir | When I installed ubuntu I created a 2 GB sawp partition just in case. But I already have 2GB of RAM. How useful is the swap space really? | 07:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kelly_, but that's using them in vain | 07:49 |
| frances | if that so.....can I back-up my ubuntu?....So when I re-install I could still have my installed programs?... | 07:49 |

| Starnestommy | !cloning | frances | 07:49 |
| ubottu | frances: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 07:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | quantumelixir, it depends on what you run, but I wouldn't recommend getting rid of the swap | 07:49 |
| darth | freakwent, what brand is it? | 07:49 |
| Diaper_Rash | (8:07:03 pm) <thepope> i dont | 07:49 |

| darth | conexant? | 07:50 |
| drash | quantumelixir: you will not need much of it for swapping, but perhaps as a resume space (if you use hibernate/sleep functions) | 07:50 |
| Diaper_Rash | hai tom :3 | 07:50 |
| quantumelixir | Seven_Six_Two: Why isnt it recommended? Even my pc is fully loaded it doesnt take more than 500mb of ram.. and considering I have 1500 more left.. why should there be more swap? | 07:50 |
| darth | oh well mine uses a saa chip | 07:50 |
| quantumelixir | drash: cant it use the normal ext3 partitions for hibernation? | 07:51 |
| frances | ubottu: sorry but I cant understand what your saying....Im a newbiew linux user..... | 07:51 |
| ubottu | frances: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:51 |
| frances | he he he | 07:51 |
| drash | quantumelixir: sure, resumes faster from a separate partiton that's all | 07:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | quantumelixir, like I said, it depends on what you do. If that's all you do, then you're probably fine, but try using a few instances of firefox and then fire up cinelerra | 07:51 |
| Jman | i know this is kind of complicated, but does anyone have any idea how to set up a wireless network or have a guide for it? | 07:52 |

| darth | i have a workstation with 6gb ram and ubuntu still uses swap | 07:52 |

| quantumelixir | darth: Then what is swap really?!! | 07:53 |
| quantumelixir | Seven_Six_Two, Gin who should I believe?!! | 07:53 |
| freakwent | why will it hurt to keep it? | 07:53 |
| freakwent | just have some swap there./ | 07:53 |
| freakwent | trust us. | 07:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | quantumelixir, stuff in mem that isn't being used much gets written to swap to make space for actively used stuff | 07:53 |
| freakwent | it does no harm | 07:53 |
| darth | :) | 07:53 |
| quantumelixir | freakwent: yes. I certainly would like to use some of my hd for storing stuff | 07:54 |
| Gin | quantumelixir, if you never should more than 10Mb of your swap, just wipe the swap, it won't be a problem. unless you do heavy work on your pc | 07:54 |
| darth | if you dont want to use a partition for it, just make a small swapfile | 07:54 |
| darth | you can always add more swapfiles if you need more swap | 07:54 |
| darth | ...space | 07:54 |
| freakwent | how big is the HDD? | 07:54 |
| quantumelixir | freakwent: 80GB | 07:54 |
| utnubudnai | nickrud, I am the former todd!and I have registered my nick as utnubudnai | 07:54 |
| Gin | quantumelixir, with that size, I would wipe the swap for more space | 07:54 |
| darth | just make a 128MB swapfile | 07:55 |
| utnubudnai | nickrud, "todd" has been registered by someone else! | 07:55 |
| quantumelixir | Seven_Six_Two, darth How about gparted to remove that swap and making a 128mb partition | 07:55 |
| arooni | i have a winxp iso file i need to burn in hardy........... i used brasero cd burner..... it didn't work at all... :( what should i use? | 07:55 |

| darth | imho | 07:55 |
| Gin | quantumelixir, you can also use a file was swap :P | 07:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | quantumelixir, you could, but always back up critical data before a resize! | 07:56 |

| Seven_Six_Two | swedekid, unofficial apps aren't always added to the menu | 08:13 |
| bacardee | I was wondering if someone could help me with problem installing ubuntu, when it gets the the end of the loading bar on the live cd my computer shuts off abruptly, sometimes i can get to the login but it shuts off. Sometimes it restarts sometimes it shuts off and stays off, any ideas? | 08:13 |
| guiest | How do I change the font that I see when I enter my name for login | 08:13 |
| anarkix | hello, I cant use my other 2 partitions (/windows , /dos both ntfs), from places menu, and desktop menu only from /dos in filesystem drive, also not showing in computer folder. Thanks | 08:13 |
| HymnToLife | tmapj: define "everything" | 08:13 |
| swedekid | how would i go about accessing it? | 08:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, I asked for more info | 08:13 |
| tmapj | HymnToLife: all the main stuff | 08:13 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: yes, it is, but i still believe they have been switched... i had 2 DDR2 512 MB DIMMs, which were in the DDR2 slots. When I came back I found that they were in the DDR2 slots, but when I put them in the DDR1 slot they worked. | 08:13 |
| bacardee | oh sorry | 08:13 |
| HymnToLife | swedekid: try running it from the temrinal | 08:13 |
| bacardee | i must have missed it | 08:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | swedekid, run from the terminal or add it to the menu manually | 08:13 |
| bacardee | what would you like to know | 08:13 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: this means that someone took my DDR2 DIMMs and replaced them with DDR1 DIMMS. | 08:13 |
| tmapj | swedekid are you from sweden? | 08:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, info about your system | 08:14 |
| HymnToLife | noob-africa: you mean the _type_ of RAM ? | 08:14 |
| HymnToLife | right | 08:14 |

| FloodBot1 | bacardee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:14 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: how do i find out if these are DDR1 slots? | 08:14 |
| swedekid | swedish ancestry | 08:14 |
| HymnToLife | I don't think you can see that without opening the case | 08:14 |
| guiest | How do I change the font that I see when I enter my name for login | 08:14 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: i mean DDD1 DIMMs... | 08:14 |
| tmapj | are you talking to me HymnToLife? | 08:14 |
| alan_m | bacardee, please read what floodbot is telling you in the room, thank you :) | 08:14 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: well, what sort of markings should i look for? i tried looking, but could not really find out. | 08:14 |
| HymnToLife | tmapj: no ;) you can customize the repositories you're using from Synaptic | 08:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, what oem vendor? | 08:14 |

| superkuh | I don't know where else to ask this so; after the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 evince started opening on my secondary monitor; a distraction. Can anyone tell me where evince settings are stored? | 08:17 |
| b0xxy | xcopy? | 08:17 |
| HymnToLife | noob-africa: don't you have some kind of label on them? | 08:17 |
| swedekid | crap is it command based? | 08:17 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: there is a label, but nothing abt DDR2 or DDR1 | 08:18 |
| HymnToLife | what does it say? | 08:18 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: i will have to shut down and open the case for that... LOL | 08:18 |

| noob-africa | HymnToLife: that's very helpful... | 08:19 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: i still wonder why the DIMMs were switched | 08:19 |
| HymnToLife | bell: define "detach" | 08:19 |
| moDumass | and also, if i create a folder on my desktop, its only got like 2 gigs free space, and i have like 120gigs free on the hdd that linux is installed on | 08:19 |
| noob-africa | HymnToLife: now am gonna have to LOCK the case with a padlock.. cant trust these buggers at the office! | 08:19 |

| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, I don't remember how, but you can make your boot more verbose by removing splash and quiet from the boot params | 08:20 |
| HymnToLife | bell: not possible, AFAIK | 08:20 |
| bell | ahh ok. I guess I will stick with VNC | 08:20 |
| === TristanS is now known as cyclonut | ||
| HymnToLife | you'd have to use VNC or something like that | 08:21 |
| bell | cool | 08:21 |
| bell | thanks | 08:21 |
| bacardee | ive done that, and ive even installed ubuntu using the text based installer. But when I login to ubuntu my computer shuts off | 08:21 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, have you tried acpi=off? | 08:21 |
| bacardee | no, what is that | 08:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, or is it apci=no? I don't remember. It's power management | 08:22 |

| moDumass | jasdevan yeh that doesnt seem to be working | 08:22 |
| moDumass | il try again | 08:23 |
| moDumass | its random | 08:23 |

| noob-africa | HymnToLife: thanks a lot of that bit of info... now i have proof... i havent yet opened the case, but i will, again | 08:23 |

| moDumass | how do i delete their home dir | 08:24 |
| darth | sudo rm -r /home/<user> | 08:24 |
| noob-africa | moDumass: is it empty? | 08:24 |
| jasdevan | moDumass: sudo rm -rf /home/<user> | 08:24 |
| enfo | moDumass: use -r | 08:24 |
| jasdevan | moDumass: or, if empty, sudo rmdir | 08:24 |
| moDumass | noob-africa is what empty? | 08:24 |
| noob-africa | darth: i wouldnt advise that command... because it is very sensitive | 08:25 |
| noob-africa | moDumass: the home directory | 08:25 |
| moDumass | thanks jasdevan | 08:25 |
| noob-africa | moDumass: if it is not empty, and u execute that command, u could lose a lot of important data | 08:25 |
| darth | what do you mean? sensitivie? | 08:25 |
| darth | well if he wants to del his user that is the cmd he'd want to use ;) | 08:25 |
| bacardee | ok seven_six_two ill go try that and report back :D | 08:25 |
| noob-africa | darth: it is a command to be used with extreme caution... | 08:26 |
| darth | yeah? | 08:26 |
| jasdevan | noob-africa: Right. I'd assumed it wasn't an issue since we're talking about users he created and didn't do anything with. | 08:26 |
| noob-africa | darth; but, hey, am just a noobie... what do i know? | 08:26 |
| darth | deleting stuff is always fun :) | 08:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | darth, rm=remove, -r=recursive, f=force(no prompts) | 08:26 |
| darth | rm takes no prisoners | 08:26 |
| moDumass | noob-africa no their home dirs arent empty, but theya re taking up space and those users are no longer users here | 08:27 |
| noob-africa | if we are talking about empty directories, well, by all means | 08:27 |

| moDumass | although im also trying to figure out what else is using up space on my machine | 08:27 |
| noob-africa | moDumass: well, if the users arent using the space, by all means, do DELETE por favor! | 08:27 |
| darth | noob-africa,he wants to nuke their dirs to free up space | 08:27 |
| noob-africa | darth: that's what i understood... lol | 08:27 |
| darth | ...so sudo rm -r /home/<user> ;) | 08:27 |

| Seven_Six_Two | darth, you need the "f" if there are any subdirs | 08:28 |
| darth | moDumass, but as noob-africa pointed out, take ridicilous care when using rm | 08:28 |
| astro76 | Flux-D: rm | 08:28 |
| darth | Seven_Six_Two, ok | 08:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | darth, or files in subdirs. rmdir will remove an empty dir | 08:29 |

| willwh | JuzzyD: why would you want to use gmailfs? | 08:35 |
| willwh | I am just reading the website now... | 08:35 |

| JuzzyD | I wanna see what it is | 08:36 |
| adi1y1 | ntfs-3g is installed but ntfs-config isnt,Seven_Six_Two | 08:36 |

| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, you need to add a partition type, and you need an empty dir to mount to so "mkdir /media/sba2" | 08:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, you need to specify a partition and destination also if it's not listed in mtab or fstab | 08:46 |

| JvA | ikonia: that is, replace it | 08:50 |
| Gin | MaskedOne, I have this problem too, but it happens less with ff3 rc2 | 08:50 |

| utnubudnai | Gin any ideas about continue the compiling? | 09:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, you can only use the devices that are listed. they have to be in /dev to be mounted. You can't just make them up as you go | 09:07 |

| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, pata drives were hd(a,b,c,d)(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) before | 09:09 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: why are you compiling firefox | 09:09 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, just study the firefox on how it works! | 09:09 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: that error is quite straight forward | 09:09 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: compiling it won't show you how it works | 09:09 |

| Gin | utnubudnai, you need the devel packages.. | 09:09 |
| ikonia | it won't show you how it works | 09:09 |
| noob-africa | bye for now | 09:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, if they are listed properly in bios and detected during post, they should be the ones that begin with either hd or sd | 09:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, 5 mins please. smoke time | 09:10 |
| utnubudnai | Gin,I want to know how to get those packages! | 09:10 |
| lonejack | hi, has somebody found any arrors on the recent ubuntu update(8.04)? To me the system gave a dependency error on kernel-generic... or something like taht | 09:10 |

| ikonia | utnubudnai: you are doing something for no reason and will likley break your system | 09:11 |
| sinsun | Here's a question. How do I check two different HD on differ version files? | 09:11 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: why dont you tell me what your really trying to do and why | 09:11 |
| ikonia | sinsun: what do you mean check ? | 09:11 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: here all the partitions are listed "/dev/disk/by-id"....both HDDs have booted and take your own time | 09:11 |
| sinsun | ikonia: I have a,b,c on HD1 and b,c,d on HD2 and I want to check how many different files in each HD. | 09:12 |
| scheggio_ | ciao | 09:12 |
| ikonia | sinsun: you could put the output to a file and diff it | 09:12 |
| sinsun | ikonia: ls -alf > HD1 ; ls -alf >HD2 ; diff HD1 HD2 ? | 09:13 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, I want to modify firefox! I want a firefox with some links to some proper sites! And other people can use it! | 09:13 |
| ikonia | sinsun: sounds good | 09:13 |
| sinsun | ikonia: thx | 09:14 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, I think that's cool! | 09:14 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: firefox with links to proper sites ???? what are you talking about, | 09:14 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: hey its hdb not sda | 09:14 |
| Gin | utnubudnai, midn to tell us more about the links? | 09:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, hdb is one of the drives. if you have an extended partition, you can't mount that. | 09:15 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, sorry! it should be bookmarks not links! | 09:15 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: you don't need to compile firefox to change the book marks | 09:15 |
| Bodsda | utnubudnai, you want to make bookmarks for firefox? | 09:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, eg. hdb1 might be extended and contain hdb3 hdb4 and hdb5 | 09:16 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: hmmm......does that mea i cant mount a drive from secondary HDD ? | 09:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, gparted or qtparted can show you the actual partitions that you have to mount | 09:16 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, I want add bookmarks to firefox! | 09:16 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: ok, you don't need to recompile firefox for that | 09:16 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: I suggest you stop now, before you break your system | 09:17 |
| Bodsda | utnubudnai, goto a site then click the bookmarks link at the topof FF or press ctrl+D | 09:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, no, but an extended is just a container since you can only have 4 logical partitions | 09:17 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: is it possible to ever mount those partitions ? | 09:17 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, No you do not understand me! | 09:17 |
| nickolaus | I seem to be having an issue with flash in FF. | 09:18 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: I do, you want to change the default book marks firefox ships with | 09:18 |
| Bodsda | utnubudnai, no,you are not explaining your problem properly | 09:18 |
| fleebailey33 | opera | 09:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, yes, but you need to get the right partition numbers. how many partitions are on the drive that you want to mount from? | 09:18 |
| roycruse | hi - can someone tell me how to make ubuntu mount a partition everytime it starts - thanks | 09:18 |
| ikonia | roycruse: put it in /etc/fstab | 09:18 |
| nickolaus | I had flash working and now it just shows a gray box. | 09:18 |
| ikonia | roycruse: or use automounter depending on your system setup | 09:18 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: there many be around 8 partitions | 09:18 |
| Bodsda | roycruse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 | 09:18 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, I want to compile it and make it available for others!So they don't need to add those bookmarks themselves! | 09:19 |
| adi1y1 | wait let me install gparted...Seven_Six_Two. | 09:19 |
| Bodsda | nickolaus, close FF and reload it,.should sort it | 09:19 |
| roycruse | thanks all | 09:19 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: I understand that, and I'm explaining to you, you don't need to compile it | 09:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | adi1y1, ok. sorry for now. I have to be at work in 12 hours. I need to sleep now | 09:19 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: will be back within 10 mins because i have to lunch | 09:19 |
| Bodsda | utnubudnai, then you need to understand how to compile, how to package and how to distribute | 09:19 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: so I say again "stop" before you break your system | 09:19 |
| fleebailey33 | what's the root password? | 09:19 |
| ikonia | fleebailey33: there isn't one | 09:20 |
| ikonia | fleebailey33: ubuntu uses sudo | 09:20 |
| adi1y1 | Seven_Six_Two: its ok,thank you anyways | 09:20 |
| fleebailey33 | says there is | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | utnubudnai, if you have to askhow to compile your probably not experienced enough to get this right | 09:20 |
| ikonia | fleebailey33: where ? | 09:20 |

| LimCore | why ntpd sucks? | 09:21 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, then how to! | 09:21 |
| ikonia | LimCore: it doesn't | 09:21 |
| Jalathan | ikonia, you can have GDM allow root to log in after you assign root a password | 09:21 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: the debian source package contains a default bookmarks file | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Jalathan: yes, you "can" do that, however ubuntu is not setup to do that | 09:22 |
| Jalathan | requires a tick mark in one of the settings | 09:22 |
| LimCore | ikonia: my clock is 800 seconds off. | 09:22 |
| LimCore | while ntpd runs. | 09:22 |
| LimCore | for hours | 09:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ikonia, ok true enough. doesn't even do root env that way either | 09:22 |
| ikonia | LimCore: check your drift file | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: I know this | 09:22 |
| LimCore | ikonia: it says 1.6 | 09:22 |

| ikonia | Bodsda: I don't think so | 09:22 |
| bacardee | im on ubuntu right now woo | 09:22 |
| LimCore | cat /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift cat /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift | 09:23 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, youve got like 5 people on your back | 09:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bacardee, it worked? noapic? | 09:23 |

| LimCore | cat /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift 1.872 | 09:23 |
| bacardee | yes | 09:23 |
| fleebailey33 | anyone need help? | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: I'd request you never give that sort of command information out in future (sudo su) | 09:23 |
| LimCore | ikonia: dunno, all is by default. | 09:23 |
| bacardee | acpi=off noapic and nolapic | 09:23 |
| ikonia | LimCore: ok, so thats why it's not working well, you've not set it up | 09:23 |
| LimCore | ikonia: I want to have clock synchronized, not play with config files | 09:23 |
| fleebailey33 | ikonia: why not? | 09:23 |
| bacardee | 64 bit version is installed and im using it right now :D | 09:23 |
| LimCore | ikonia: ubuntu is for human beings or for ntpd experts? | 09:23 |
| Bodsda | Seven_Six_Two, sudo -i will alow you to become root in a shell session | 09:23 |
| ikonia | LimCore: maybe checking why somethings not working before saying "it sucks" is a better approach | 09:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ikonia, in this channel sure, but I don't agree with withholding information | 09:23 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, So I should just change the bookmarks files!And then do I need to compile it? | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: thats not withholding information, just offer sudo -i | 09:24 |
| LimCore | ikonia: if it doesnt work by default then it sucks for regular user | 09:24 |
| ikonia | ubottu: no | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! | 09:24 |
| ikonia | LimCore: why are you always trouble like this | 09:24 |
| LimCore | ikonia: well I looked into config file, it syncs with pool.ntp.org with seems ok | 09:24 |
| LimCore | ikonia: everyone is, but most people just take it quietly | 09:24 |
| Bodsda | Seven_Six_Two, ikonia'scomment was merely stating that your command was wrong | 09:24 |
| ikonia | LimCore: ok so pool.ntp.org is just an alias, it should find your quickest local time source | 09:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ikonia, ok. I thought it was sudo su -s | 09:24 |
| askvictor | how can I search for which package provides a particular file? | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: no - its not | 09:25 |
| LimCore | ikonia: omg. | 09:25 |
| ikonia | LimCore: so do "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" | 09:25 |
| Jalathan | sudo apt-cache search <FILE> | 09:25 |
| fleebailey33 | how does terminal say something when i open it? | 09:25 |
| fleebailey33 | like an motd? | 09:25 |
| KRF | askvictor, dpkg -S <file> | 09:25 |
| ikonia | fleebailey33: /etc/motd | 09:25 |
| LimCore | ikonia: ntpdate[7943]: adjust time server 193.0.71.133 offset 0.003652 sec and? | 09:25 |
| ikonia | LimCore: ok - so your clock is not actually off with that time source | 09:25 |
| KRF | askvictor, http://packages.ubuntu..com | 09:25 |
| LimCore | ikonia: it is synced now, first time offset was 800 sec | 09:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: as you can see 0.003652 out of sync with pool.ntp.com | 09:26 |
| askvictor | KRF: thanks | 09:26 |
| fleebailey33 | LimCore: type sudo rm -rf / | 09:26 |
| fleebailey33 | it works | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | KRF, double dot in there | 09:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: no problem, let it drift | 09:26 |
| ikonia | fleebailey33: never say that in this channel please | 09:26 |
| LimCore | fleebailey33 wants a kick | 09:26 |
| KRF | Bodsda, i think everybody knows | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | fleebailey33, dont ever suggest that -- or youll get kicke | 09:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: you know to ignore that please | 09:26 |
| LimCore | ikonia: it was 800 second off | 09:26 |
| fleebailey33 | meh | 09:26 |
| bullgard4 | [Epiphany] After feisty2gutsy upgrade Epiphany fogot its bookmarks. I replaced the ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks file with a backup copy but Epiphany does not show the old bookmarks. How to troubleshoot? | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | KRF, just checkin -- some people dont read links there given then complain when they dont work | 09:26 |
| fleebailey33 | why. because ubuntu users are only ones stupid enough to try it? o.0 | 09:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: I see that, but I can't look into it while it's not off, so let it drift again then shout | 09:26 |
| LimCore | ok sorry, 500 not 800 =) 7 Jun 10:10:44 ntpdate[7736]: step time server 212.51.199.194 offset 573.092209 sec | 09:27 |
| ikonia | fleebailey33: drop the attitude - its not needed and uncalled for, help if you want but don't cause issues | 09:27 |
| KRF | true | 09:27 |
| Bodsda | fleebailey33, if you want to discuss this tell meand we can go to #ubuntu-ops | 09:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ikonia, I read the man. thanks. wouldn't the way I suggested work fine for a quick command? I use it sometimes if I have to delete a file or dir. not for things like apt-get | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: technically works, yes, the ubuntu supported method (makes it easier to manager - no) | 09:28 |
| fleebailey33 | ? | 09:28 |
| Bodsda | Seven_Six_Two, sudo -i is highly recommended becuase it moves you to the root dir aswell | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Seven_Six_Two: your technically correct in your command, but due to sudo's layout it's "more acceptable" to do sudo -i | 09:28 |
| LimCore | fleebailey33: ubuntu aims to be for human beings, so it should work by default without reading RFC on NTPD, if you want to help to debug this possible bug then intall ntpd | 09:28 |
| un2him | anyone having problems using pre-released (hardy-proposed) updates? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | LimCore: I'll help you - just left the clock drift again | 09:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ok. Thanks both. it's shorter too!! | 09:28 |
| Bodsda | un2him, no | 09:29 |
| LimCore | ikonia: ok. I leave ntpd running then | 09:29 |
| drash | un2him: no, what's seems to be the trouble ? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | LimCore: let it get say 500 drift again then we'll walk it through | 09:29 |
| un2him | drash: not having problems, just wondering if it is a good idea | 09:29 |
| LimCore | ikonia: hot to check the drift without updating it at same time | 09:29 |
| LimCore | s/updating/fixing | 09:30 |
| Bodsda | un2him, yeah,they seem stable enough | 09:30 |
| ikonia | LimCore: just do a "date" | 09:30 |
| un2him | Bodsda: thanks | 09:30 |
| drash | un2him: okay, good question actually .. | 09:30 |
| Bodsda | un2him, although problems may occur,.,.it is unlikely but could easily happen | 09:30 |
| MinusSeven | is everyone going to be in Portland, Oregon in July? | 09:30 |
| broonsparrow | hi. since upgrading to 8.04 i can't write to a fat partition on my computer. i can read/write fine to a ntfs partition. anyone any ideas? | 09:31 |
| Gin | how do ou convert a .img file to iso? | 09:31 |
| un2him | Bodsda, drash: I do know that a recent problem with changing the wallpaper is fixed using hardy-proposed | 09:31 |
| Bodsda | un2him, noones complained about them in here afaik | 09:31 |
| Bodsda | and im using them | 09:31 |
| un2him | Bodsda: thanks, I think I'll take the plunge | 09:32 |
| Bodsda | un2him, good luck ;~) | 09:32 |
| gramm | im running into an error trying to install fretsonfire-game: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17859/ | 09:33 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, You say debian source package!do you mean a .deb file? | 09:33 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: no, thats a compile package file | 09:34 |
| Bodsda | utnubudnai, yes | 09:34 |
| Bodsda | no | 09:34 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, cant you just change the bookmarks in the .deb? | 09:34 |
| ikonia | Bodsda: yes, | 09:34 |
| ikonia | Bodsda: but you need the source package (not source code) to re-package | 09:34 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, oh, -- i see ty | 09:35 |
| johnnypea | is there exist some list of highlighted application for Ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, then where could I get that compile package file? | 09:36 |
| Bodsda | johnnypea, highlighted application?? | 09:37 |
| Esteth | johnnypea, What do you mean by highlighted? | 09:37 |
| mrtimdog | Is there a way of granting access from nm-applet to the default keyring automatically without having to type in the password? | 09:37 |
| drash | gramm: syntax error in that particular file, have you tried opening that one in an editor to check what could be wrong ? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: just to be clear - you don't need to re-compile the package, just edit a text file in the deb source package (not source code) you can get that package from the ubuntu repo's. There is a team in the channel #ubuntu-motu who can help guide you through it | 09:37 |
| johnnypea | recommended, best,the most used | 09:37 |
| Bodsda | !best | johnnypea | 09:38 |
| ubottu | johnnypea: 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. | 09:38 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, ok thank you! | 09:38 |
| gramm | drash: i have, and line 167 is " results = ", and as i am not a programmer (nor do i have the time to learn and go through to figure out what should be there) i have no idea how to fix it... | 09:38 |
| johnnypea | hmmm OK | 09:38 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: an easier option maybe to submit and package update request, say "include these default pages" then when firefox gets updates from the ubuntu team, it's all done for you | 09:39 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: submiting an update request is much easier than doing it your self if your not happy with what your doing | 09:39 |
| br0ski | Hola all. | 09:39 |
| gramm | drash: correction: "i am not a python programmer" | 09:39 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: eg: you could have broke you system if you carry on | 09:39 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, there unlikely to include some of the links unless ther *nix/ubuntu related no? | 09:39 |
| kyaneos | hi | 09:40 |
| drash | gramm: okay, does the game work at all ? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | Bodsda: I don't know - hence why I said "ask" | 09:40 |
| kyaneos | how can i manage services at boot up?? | 09:40 |
| kyaneos | please | 09:40 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, yeah ;~) | 09:40 |
| kyaneos | does services-admin works fine?? | 09:40 |
| bullgard4 | [Epiphany] After feisty2gutsy upgrade Epiphany fogot its bookmarks. I replaced the ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks file with a backup copy but Epiphany does not show the old bookmarks. How to troubleshoot? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | kyaneos: should do | 09:40 |
| === Ja1athan is now known as Jalathan | ||
| Bodsda | gramm, i dabble in python,.,.anything i can help with? | 09:40 |
| kyaneos | and how can i see how sysv level i am in?? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | bullgard4 maunally add book marks in epihpany, see if it stores them, if it does store them, see if your file has been changed (that way you can check it's writing tot he file ok) | 09:41 |
| utnubudnai | ikonia, I'm sorry but I really don't know why my system would be broke | 09:41 |
| ikonia | kyaneos: ubuntu doesn't use sysv init - but you can use who -r | 09:41 |
| ikonia | utnubudnai: compiling and installing packages that conflict with the package managed version in #ubuntu | 09:41 |
| kyaneos | ikonia: does not upstart manage runlevels?? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | in ubuntu sorry | 09:41 |
| ikonia | kyaneos: yes it does, hence not sysv | 09:41 |
| kyaneos | mm ok | 09:42 |
| kyaneos | ikonia: and how can i see what runlevel i am running on?? | 09:42 |
| ikonia | kyaneos: who -r | 09:42 |
| gramm | Bodsda: im trying to install fretsonfire-game, and i get a compile error (see here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17859/ ) when i try to install the package | 09:42 |
| kyaneos | thank you very much ikonia and sorry for my poor English | 09:43 |
| dstan | if i were to run ubuntu on my macbook, would there be a special version of it that i have to get | 09:43 |
| Bodsda | gramm, can u pastebin that file please | 09:43 |
| gramm | Bodsda, drash: the game at least starts though, so im going to poke around (setup guitar, etc) to see if anything breaks | 09:43 |
| ikonia | kyaneos: no apologies needed | 09:43 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I did add manually bookmarks to Epiphany. Yes, Epiphany does store them. I do not understand the word "tot" in your sentence: "that way you can check it's writing tot he file ok." | 09:43 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: "to the" | 09:44 |
| bullgard4 | Ah | 09:44 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: the space was in the wrong place | 09:44 |
| NemosNemos | Hi everybody | 09:44 |
| Bodsda | hi | 09:44 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: yes, I see. | 09:44 |
| Esteth | dstan, As far as i know, you should use the regular version of ubuntu. I'm not sure if you have an older macBook with a PPC processor though | 09:44 |
| NemosNemos | Where can I find a disk manager on ubuntu? | 09:44 |
| dstan | naw | 09:44 |
| gramm | Bodsda: sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17865/ | 09:44 |
| NemosNemos | I need to know where Ubuntu is installed | 09:44 |
| Bodsda | gramm, thanks | 09:44 |
| dstan | those are called iBooks ;) | 09:44 |
| drash | gramm: ok, if you pastebin that particular file (/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/hotwire_ui/scripts.py) we can have a further look, thanks in advance | 09:44 |
| zenum | hello, does anyone know how to configure the backend to mythtv using mythbuntu? | 09:45 |
| NemosNemos | Anyone? | 09:45 |
| Jalathan | dstan, do make sure that you are backed up if you are planning to dualboot OSX & ubuntu | 09:45 |
| NemosNemos | Where can I find a disk manager on Ubuntu? | 09:45 |
| gramm | drash: if you didnt see it, i just did. ;-) http://paste.ubuntu.com/17865/ | 09:45 |
| kyaneos | is there any package which contains a C reference and documentation for use with devhelp?? pleae | 09:45 |
| zenum | i'm trying to set up a backend/frontend... but the backend was never configured and now i can't connect to it | 09:45 |
| Esteth | NemosNemos: install gparted, then find it in system->admin->disk manager | 09:45 |
| drash | NemosNemos: gparted | 09:45 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: The writing to the file is ok. -- I presume that the error is conneted somehow to XML. | 09:45 |
| drash | gramm: thx, missed it ;) | 09:45 |
| NemosNemos | Thanks | 09:45 |
| NemosNemos | I'll try | 09:45 |
| dstan | yeah | 09:46 |
| gramm | drash: np, you are giving me free help after all (and thank you for that), same to you Bodsda | 09:46 |
| dstan | i have time machine for that | 09:46 |
| dstan | ;) | 09:46 |
| Bodsda | gramm, try changing "results = " to "results = 0" | 09:46 |
| NemosNemos | Another thing: VLC is better than Totem, but I can't uninstall the latter. How can I do that? | 09:46 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, sudo apt-get remove totem | 09:47 |
| gramm | Bodsda: should i then dpkg-reconfigure fretsonfire-game ? | 09:47 |
| gnomefreak | NemosNemos: you can remove totem but you may not want to | 09:47 |
| caper1 | totem sucks | 09:47 |
| Bodsda | gramm, no | 09:47 |
| Bodsda | caper1, no, totem plays | 09:47 |
| Jalathan | dstan, np, just talked to someone recently that borked his OSX install when dualbooting with ubuntu. timemachined to an ipod touch fortunately | 09:47 |
| caper1 | true | 09:47 |
| Bodsda | caper1, a hover sucks | 09:47 |
| dstan | wha? | 09:47 |
| NemosNemos | why? | 09:47 |
| Bodsda | caper1, a hoover sucks | 09:47 |
| NemosNemos | Totem sucks | 09:47 |
| caper1 | but after you install other players it wont | 09:47 |
| NemosNemos | OK, so I won't | 09:47 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, theres no harm in leaving it there | 09:48 |
| drash | caper1: totem uses gstreamer as backend, install the necessary gstreamer plugins and it plays anything you want | 09:48 |
| caper1 | I don't even fuss with it any more and just use VLC or Mplayer | 09:48 |
| NemosNemos | Drash, I loaded gstreamer, but it still cannot load .avi, .midi, .mp3 files | 09:48 |
| gnomefreak | drash: it can use xine as well | 09:48 |
| Bodsda | Rythmbox ftw!! | 09:48 |
| caper1 | Gstreamer is what screws up my other codecs | 09:48 |
| NemosNemos | caper1, I agree with you | 09:48 |
| gramm | Bodsda: so, i that should fix it then, and i should be able to play the game (assuming no other bugs)? | 09:48 |
| caper1 | this was a while back and I do not know if I would still have this conflict | 09:48 |
| NemosNemos | VLC wins | 09:48 |
| Gin | NemosNemos, try vlc | 09:49 |
| broonsparrow | hi. since upgrading to 8.04 i can't write to a fat partition on my computer. i can read/write fine to a ntfs partition. anyone any ideas? | 09:49 |
| Gin | vlc plays almost anything here :-) | 09:49 |
| NemosNemos | Yeah | 09:49 |
| NemosNemos | Ok | 09:49 |
| manb | how do i set values with gconftool or gconftool2? i know the path to the key from gconf-editor. | 09:49 |
| gramm | broonsparrow: check your /etc/fstab file (just open it in a text editor) | 09:49 |
| Bodsda | gramm, yeah,. because the script is a text file it shoyuldnt need to be dpkgd'd so try it,.,. the only thing is if it doesnt work change the "0" to "False" | 09:49 |
| caper1 | Trusty old VLC | 09:49 |
| drash | NemosNemos: for those you'll need to install additional gstreamer plugins (look into the gstreamer-plugins-good -bad and -ugly) | 09:49 |
| Jalathan | dstan, sorry, to bork can mean to have created an issue/messed up something | 09:49 |
| NemosNemos | The last thing: why cannot I see the partition on which Ubuntu is installed? In "Computer" I just see the WIndows Partition (220 GB) and a partition ext3 called "Filesystem" (where Ubuntu is). Shouldn't it be called in another way? | 09:50 |
| gramm | Bodsda: will do, thanks. drash: thanks. | 09:50 |
| Bodsda | gramm, lemme no how it goes | 09:50 |
| NemosNemos | And in the folder sometimes it says "Access denied" | 09:50 |
| dstan | heh | 09:50 |
| dstan | i understood | 09:50 |
| dstan | :] | 09:50 |
| dstan | no worries | 09:50 |
| FloodBot1 | dstan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:50 |
| drash | gramm: yes, report if it clears out the error | 09:50 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, thats the root folder '/' your home is /home/nemos/ | 09:51 |
| caper1 | I dont think windows will recognize the partition | 09:51 |
| Jalathan | kk, was making sure all was clear | 09:51 |
| dstan | oh shit, lol, sorry. | 09:51 |
| gramm | drash: will do | 09:51 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, you need sudo to edit the '/' or anything above /home | 09:51 |
| NemosNemos | Bosda, what do I have to do? | 09:51 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, what are you trying to do? | 09:51 |
| NemosNemos | I want to see the two partitions | 09:52 |
| NemosNemos | One called "C:" with WIndows on it | 09:52 |
| NemosNemos | And the other one called "Linux" with Ubuntu on it | 09:53 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, in nautilus neither of these things can be changed tmk | 09:53 |
| Jalathan | is -19 more usable than -18? (in terms of -18 having caused issues with some installs) | 09:53 |
| NemosNemos | Ok | 09:53 |
| NemosNemos | But it is not so good to see a "filesystem" named partition | 09:54 |
| NemosNemos | Where I cannot see the size | 09:54 |
| NemosNemos | And things like that | 09:54 |
| NemosNemos | Isn't it? | 09:54 |
| drash | Jalatan: it should yes, best to keep -17 for a while just in case | 09:54 |
| livingdaylight | my dictionary works only for english; i've added spanish in preference but it doesn't recognize spanish words? | 09:54 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, it doesnt bother many but sudo fdisk -l will tell you their size and you could sumbit a sugggestion on he brainstorm section of ubuntu forums to have this feature added to nautilus | 09:55 |
| === zak2 is now known as llama32 | ||
| Jalathan | drash, kk, ty | 09:55 |
| NemosNemos | k | 09:55 |
| NemosNemos | thanks | 09:55 |
| drash | livingdaylight: did you install a spanish dictionary ? | 09:55 |
| NemosNemos | Can I ask another thing? | 09:55 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, your welcome | 09:55 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, of course you can | 09:55 |
| NemosNemos | We are on a support channel | 09:55 |
| livingdaylight | drash: i think so | 09:55 |
| Bodsda | correct NemosNemos | 09:55 |
| NemosNemos | Ok: is there a way to install IE7 on Ubuntu? | 09:55 |
| livingdaylight | drash: dict-es? | 09:55 |
| drash | livingdaylight: aspell, ispell ? which one please ? | 09:56 |
| NemosNemos | I've heard something on the Net, but cannot do that | 09:56 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, you would have to ask the wine guys in #wine but i think so yes | 09:56 |
| NemosNemos | And what about installing tar.gz archives? | 09:56 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, not sure why you would want IE7 though | 09:56 |
| NemosNemos | I prefer it... | 09:57 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, you do not install tar.gz files you unpack them and usually compile them -- whats the exact issue with tar.gz? | 09:57 |
| NemosNemos | I don't know how to compile them | 09:57 |
| NemosNemos | What do I have to do? | 09:57 |
| suhridk | hello, could someone tell me as to which are all the instllation directories that Firefox uses in Ubuntu ? | 09:57 |
| NemosNemos | I've extracted an archive | 09:57 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, id strongly suggest you try firefox for a few eeks because it is undoubtedly a faster more efficient browser | 09:57 |
| NemosNemos | Bodsda, I know | 09:57 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, if you dont know how to compile you probably shouldnt be attempting it | 09:57 |
| NemosNemos | But I don't like its theme... | 09:57 |
| NemosNemos | And its management of tabs | 09:58 |
| drash | livingdaylight: dict-freedict-spa-eng is what you need | 09:58 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, you can change the theme | 09:58 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i resize virtual box so its bigger | 09:58 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, and its tab amnaggement is similar to that of IR7 | 09:58 |
| Mr_Bad_News | when i click machine > resize it makes it smaller | 09:58 |
| sFEARs | hello | 09:58 |
| Jalathan | NemosNemos, there are ways to make firefox look and act like IE7 | 09:58 |
| livingdaylight | drash: i installed dict-freedict-spa-en | 09:59 |
| livingdaylight | drash: i need aspell? | 09:59 |
| NemosNemos | really=? | 09:59 |
| NemosNemos | how? | 09:59 |
| Bodsda | suhridk, ~/.firefox | 09:59 |
| Bodsda | suhridk, no sorry -- ~/.mozilla | 09:59 |
| NemosNemos | ? | 10:00 |
| NemosNemos | What? | 10:00 |
| suhridk | Bodsda, thanks. How about /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/firefox ? | 10:00 |
| Bodsda | NemosNemos, why use linux if your gonna make it behave like windows? | 10:00 |
| livingdaylight | what's difference between ispell and aspell? | 10:00 |
| Jalathan | NemosNemos, sry, this'll take a while, haven't attempted to do this for some time | 10:00 |
| suhridk | the thing is I just uninstallted firefox 3, and i want to manually clean all the installation directories... | 10:00 |
| Bodsda | suhridk, in a terminal type locate firefox && locate mozilla | grep firefox to find everything | 10:01 |
| Flannel | suhridk: No, don't manually do it. Do it through package management., | 10:01 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does anyone know? | 10:01 |
| Mr_Bad_News | the window is to small to do anything in | 10:01 |
| suhridk | thanks Bodsda and Flannel. I uninstalled like this : apt-get remove firefox3.0 | 10:01 |
| drash | livingdaylight: differences are mainly the same as in the paper-world, some applications prefer ispell, others aspell, have no experience with dict though .. is the dictd daemon running ? | 10:01 |
| popey | Mr_Bad_News: install the virtualbox additions and then change the screen resolution in the guest OS | 10:02 |
| Flannel | suhridk: No. you need to purge it, "remove" only removes binaries, purge removes everything. | 10:02 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i install the additions | 10:02 |
| Flannel | suhridk: In synaptic, it's "complete removal" | 10:02 |
| popey | !virtualbox | 10:02 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 10:02 |
| livingdaylight | drash: yes, i added it from Applications/Accessories to panel and works with english, but i'd like to add other languages if possible | 10:02 |
| popey | Mr_Bad_News: i think that page covers it | 10:02 |
| livingdaylight | drash: if i had ubunt uinstalled in another language i suppose the default for the dictionary would be in that language | 10:03 |
| codyzapp | is there a plugin i need to get java working with firefox? | 10:03 |
| drash | livingdaylight, try killall dictd to stop the daemon after you installed the spanish package, and fire the daemon up again, that's all i can think of | 10:04 |
| suhridk | Flannel, so does that mean that Firefox 3.0 is completely cleaned up in my system ? | 10:04 |
| Flannel | codyzapp: sun-java6-plugin | 10:04 |
| drash | livingdaylight: yes that would make sense | 10:04 |
| Flannel | suhridk: assuming you've done that, and removed your personal config files, yes. | 10:04 |
| codyzapp | Flannel, found in apps ? | 10:04 |
| zvacet | livingdaylight : no | 10:04 |
| Light- | hi, how do I add an executable binary file to the PATH so that I dont have to be in its current directory to execute it? | 10:04 |
| Flannel | codyzapp: Probably not, use synaptic. | 10:04 |
| Flannel | Light-: Where did you put it? | 10:04 |
| codyzapp | Flannel, im new to ubuntu, where might i find synaptic :o | 10:05 |
| livingdaylight | zvacet: yes? | 10:05 |
| Light- | Flannel: I compiled a program but I cant type in its name to run it, unless im in the directory I compiled it in | 10:05 |
| Flannel | codyzapp: system > admin > synaptic package manager | 10:05 |
| codyzapp | k thanks | 10:05 |
| zvacet | livingdaylight : you have to install support for that language under system>admin>language support | 10:05 |
| Light- | Flannel: its in /home/Programs | 10:05 |
| Mr_Bad_News | popey, how do i get the mouse to stop acting schitzo? | 10:05 |
| Light- | Flannel: its in /home/myuser/Programs | 10:05 |
| Light- | sorry | 10:06 |
| zvacet | livingdaylight : this is from expirience I´m not native English speaker so I use my locale | 10:06 |
| suhridk | Flannel, thanks. | 10:07 |
| Light- | Flannel: I ran its make install script which put it in /usr/local/bin | 10:07 |
| Tyczek | Do you experience something like "green-red" objects when playing movie with fglrx 8.5 ? | 10:07 |
| Light- | Flannel: but I still cant type in its name to run it from anywhere | 10:07 |
| Flannel | Light-: don't put it there, put it in /usr/local/bin, or ~/bin would work too sure. .bash_rc is the usual method, and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1931 gives more details | 10:07 |
| Light- | Flannel: ok, thanks | 10:08 |
| === selocol_ is now known as selocol | ||
| Flannel | Light-: /usr/local/bin is the proper place for it | 10:08 |
| Flannel | Light-: and /usr/local/bin should already be in your PATH (echo $PATH to check) | 10:08 |
| livingdaylight | zvacet: i see. Would make sense that if i install aspell spanish or freedict-spanish -english that synaptic automatically installs language support or whatever dependency required. How should one know to go to system/admin/language support first? | 10:08 |
| suhridk | I have had lots of problems trying to use plugins like (flash) for Firefox on my x86_64 system using nspluginwrapper. I have now uninstalled firefox. Do you think I should install firefox 32 bit for linux OR use a separate browser like Opera ? | 10:09 |
| unknown__ | problem regarding elisa media center | 10:09 |
| LimCore | suhridk: what plugins? on my ubuntu 8.04 amd64 all plugins Just Work | 10:09 |
| livingdaylight | zvacet: i just wanted to add a lanaguage to my dictionary not to every other application | 10:10 |
| suhridk | LimCore, plugins such as Flash Player 9 or Java for firefox | 10:10 |
| bacardee | hey seven_six_two you wouldn't happen to know a similar command for a vista install? because vista was doing the same thing, shutting off when the loading bar completed | 10:10 |
| LimCore | suhridk: hmm | 10:10 |
| LimCore | suhridk: I think flash and java work for me... but dunno if version 9 etc | 10:10 |
| === bod_ is now known as Bodsda | ||
| suhridk | Adobe doesnt provide 64 bit versions of flash plugin, so you gotta mess around trying to install on the 32 bit version on 64 bit browser | 10:11 |
| Light- | suhridk: 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 gives you the option to install teh adobe flash plugin when you first encounter a flash site... worked perfectly for me | 10:11 |
| Twingle | I know this might fit better in #mplayer, but they couldn't fix the problem. Does anyone know why mplayer does not sync up right while totem is fine under xfce4? | 10:12 |
| zvacet | livingdaylight : I don´t know how to that sorry you will find somebody smarter then me here | 10:12 |
| suhridk | Light, is your firefox browser 62 bit or 32 bit ? Im aksing because both can be installed on a 64 bit system | 10:12 |
| [0_A4Tech | /query Garfeild | 10:12 |
| livingdaylight | zvacet: no, i don't think so... :) | 10:12 |
| Light- | suhridk: its the default that came with 64-bit 8.04 | 10:12 |
| suhridk | Light-: thanks. Guess i got to try that option again | 10:13 |
| zvacet | livingdaylight : having language support doesn´t mean that you have to use that language for all apps you can still use engish if you want to | 10:14 |
| drash | livingdaylight: stopping/restarting dictd didn't change anything ? | 10:14 |
| Rotlaus | I'm using openbox as windowmanager and in my autostart.sh i set a background. But after the background is set, the screen will get the default gnome background. Where can i turn this off? | 10:15 |

| livingdaylight | drash: Connection failed to the dictionary server at es.dict.org:2628 | 10:31 |
| bazhang_ | SageLord, what sort of problems | 10:31 |
| livingdaylight | drash: that't the error message i get when i set it to spanish | 10:32 |
| drash | livingdaylight: ahaa, that is helpfull, maybe it's down | 10:32 |
| livingdaylight | drash: you think that could just be momentar ythen? | 10:32 |
| avis | it works ok with me SageLord | 10:32 |
| SageLord | bazhang_ - After the upgrade both uname and grub say I am still at 2.6.24.17 | 10:33 |
| drash | livingdaylight; might be it yes, try ping'ing that to make sure | 10:33 |
| bazhang_ | SageLord, you need to update-grub then | 10:33 |
| Jalathan | blackplasma, ok, a) xorg-driver-fglrx should support your card. | 10:34 |
| livingdaylight | drash: how to ping that? | 10:34 |
| SageLord | Would grub affect the uname command though? | 10:34 |
| blackplasma | will try it, thanks | 10:34 |
| drash | SageLord: that means you opted to keep the installed menu.list after the upgrade, either manually adjust the /boot/grub/menu.list and change the numbers | 10:34 |
| Hattori | anybody know how to configure socks5-rev26 ? | 10:35 |
| Kyle__ | what | 10:35 |
| Jalathan | blackplasma, did you remove the xorg-driver-fglrx package and un-tick the box for supporting the restricted driver before installing the official package? | 10:35 |
| drash | livingdaylight: open a terminal and "ping <that address you had there just now> <port number>" | 10:35 |
| SageLord | drash - WOuld that effect the uname command though? | 10:35 |
| blackplasma | no i did not | 10:35 |
| blackplasma | i will try that too | 10:35 |
| Jalathan | kk, that might be part of your issue | 10:36 |
| drash | SageLord: not that i know off .. sudo update-grub is another option | 10:36 |
| blackplasma | btw, what is the difference b/w xorg-driver-fglrx and xorg-driver-fglrx-envy | 10:37 |

| bazhang_ | butchoy, correct | 10:54 |
| LimCore | cryptsetup executed from rcS.d incorrectly input password (shows the password instead dott it out with *) how to report this bug - against what package | 10:54 |
| drash | SageLord: you were gone so fast lol, did you also install lionux-headers-generic and linux-image-generic ? | 10:55 |
| j41n | when i run gnome-appearance-properties, its using 90+% cpu and i cannot set any wallpaper. | 10:55 |
| Jalathan | butchoy, however WINE has been getting far better with working with photoshop as of late, you may want to check out that option | 10:55 |
| SageLord | oh was I supposed to do that :) | 10:55 |
| SageLord | oops | 10:55 |
| LimCore | how to disable bottup-splash and show only normal text screen? | 10:55 |
| darth | yes Jalathan: wine is getting infinitely better | 10:55 |
| bazhang_ | LimCore, remove splash and quiet from menu list | 10:55 |
| butchoy | But somehow CS3 works fine on virtualbox.....but I wish it could be better.... | 10:55 |
| darth | butchoy, also look into wine-doors and playonlinux | 10:56 |
| darth | both helpers for wine | 10:56 |
| drash | SageLord: yes, the go together :) | 10:56 |
| darth | i think that wine-doors has an installscript for photoshop | 10:56 |
| darth | dont remember which version though.... might be rc2 | 10:56 |
| girard | aswell as my ubuntu/swap partitions i have an ntfs XP partition and a FAT32 share partition - how can i stop the XP partition being mounted but make the share partition mount (appear in places etc)? | 10:56 |
| butchoy | Jalathan: CS3 still does not run on wine.... | 10:56 |
| SageLord | drash - You will have to forgive me... my computer was built to run smooth on Windows Vista so its screams on with Ubuntu (allowing me to do things very quickly) | 10:56 |

| avis | bazhang_, linux-genenic, linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic, etc | 10:57 |
| bazhang_ | Zell, what are you doing | 10:58 |
| tech0007 | avis: do "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get them | 10:58 |
| girard | in 7.04 partitions weren't auto mounted so i used the Storage device manager to mount the share partition and it let the ntfs partition alone | 10:58 |
| avis | thank you tech0007 | 10:58 |
| butchoy | the current version of Photoshop that is running on wine is just CS2 version 9 | 10:58 |
| j41n | when i run gnome-appearance-properties, its using 90+% cpu and i cannot set any wallpaper. 8.04 - problem started after last day's updates. dont remember which all packages got updated. | 10:58 |

| tech0007 | SageLord: check menu.lst if -18 is listed | 11:00 |
| Jalathan | butchoy, k | 11:00 |
| SageLord | one sec | 11:00 |

| butchoy | Virtualbox is better than Win4Lin?... | 11:01 |
| rage | Hey guys, what the hell happened to the option in Gnome Panels Window List that lets you set the mimimum and maximum size of an entry? | 11:01 |
| bazhang_ | !vm | butchoy | 11:01 |
| ubottu | butchoy: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 11:01 |
| drash | SageLord: that's odd: maybe it whooshed by .. in any case: check whether it's changed in menu.list, if you don't activate the new kernel there it won't change a thing | 11:01 |
| butchoy | Win4Lin is promoted by Ubuntu....I actually thought that it was pre-installed in ubuntu... | 11:02 |
| SageLord | No, the menu.list didn't change | 11:02 |
| jerry_ | who is from china | 11:02 |
| drash | SageLord: why don't you change it then ? :) | 11:02 |
| _moro_bana_ | mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 gives me this>> mkfs.ext3: Permission denied while trying to determine filesystem size | 11:02 |
| jerry_ | so what's then on | 11:03 |
| tech0007 | SageLord: check if linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic are installed] | 11:03 |
| _moro_bana_ | aa sudo, silly me | 11:03 |
| butchoy | ubottu: what is QEmu?.... never heard of that before.... | 11:03 |
| SageLord | tech0007 - According to synaptic they are installed | 11:03 |

| Hattori | anybody know how to configure socks5-rev26 ? | 11:03 |
| tech0007 | SageLord: what's the installed version of linux-generic? | 11:04 |
| _moro_bana_ | butchoy: thats a bot | 11:04 |
| butchoy | is it like wine?....or vmware?... | 11:04 |
| ganjaman | heh | 11:04 |
| ganjaman | i tried to compile the kernel, but there are thousands of modules | 11:05 |
| Jalathan | !qemu | butchoy | 11:05 |
| ubottu | butchoy: qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 11:05 |
| tech0007 | butchoy: like vmware, virtualbox | 11:05 |
| SageLord | tech0007 - According to uname, its still 2.6.24-18 | 11:05 |
| bazhang_ | butchoy, closer to the second | 11:05 |
| SageLord | err | 11:05 |
| ganjaman | make oldconfig | 11:05 |
| SageLord | 17 | 11:05 |
| tech0007 | SageLord: so you have it | 11:05 |
| ganjaman | then do i have to load the oldconfig .config file with make menuconfig? | 11:05 |
| SageLord | tech0007 - err No its still 2.6.24-17 | 11:05 |
| SageLord | (the 18 was a typo) | 11:05 |
| butchoy | which is much better then, virtuabox or QEmu? | 11:06 |
| tech0007 | SageLord: not uname, whats the installed version of linux-generic in synaptic? | 11:06 |
| Esteth | !best | butchoy | 11:06 |
| ubottu | butchoy: 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. | 11:06 |

| tech0007 | girard: | 11:29 |
| forumdot | hmm, seems netselect-apt is still broken. is their an alternative console program to automatically or maunally select a apt mirror without editing /etc/apt/sources.list by hand? | 11:30 |
| imaginativeone | how do I switch from gnome to kde? | 11:30 |
| girard | tech0007: its mounted atm on my desktop - cant i find out that way somehow | 11:30 |
| Jalathan | SageLord, i can understand that. i've been looking into getting it going for ~10 years now. only within the last year and a half or so did i start to really delve into it | 11:30 |
| rysiek|pl | hi guys | 11:30 |
| JackTheRipper | o_O | 11:30 |
| SageLord | imaginativeone - Just install the KDE package from synaptic | 11:30 |
| Jaffarkelshac | you need to install kubuntu-desktop imaginativeone logg off and select it in sessions | 11:30 |
| rysiek|pl | imaginativeone: are you trying to install KDE? | 11:31 |
| Jaffarkelshac | it downloads a little over 100mb | 11:31 |
| imaginativeone | I think I already installed kde... | 11:31 |
| Jeztastic | It's a real simple problem, I'm not reconfiguring the file directly, I'm using the reconfigure program in 7.10 | 11:31 |
| tech0007 | girard: try this http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/25/hide-partition-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ | 11:31 |
| imaginativeone | I just don't know how to switch to it | 11:31 |
| rysiek|pl | imaginativeone: a better way would be installing kubuntu-desktop - that way you'll get a nice kdm/gdm entry to choose from at system startup | 11:31 |
| === codyzapp is now known as LunchBox | ||
| imaginativeone | ugh :-( | 11:31 |
| Jaffarkelshac | imaginativeone: logg off, and click sessions and select it | 11:31 |
| tech0007 | girard: right click properties on that icon and see what partition it is | 11:31 |
| SageLord | Jalathan - To be honest it reminds me of the days when I used DOS. When I used to putz around with autoexec.bat and config.sys etc. | 11:31 |
| imaginativeone | I'm newbie enough to lose all of my work up to this point | 11:32 |
| Jalathan | Jeztastic, *phew*, 7.10 is much easier to troubleshoot than 8.04 for this | 11:32 |
| Jalathan | SageLord, :P | 11:32 |
| Jeztastic | then I go a message via the terminal about thexorg.conf being backed up and I'm out of the program, can only type in the terminal | 11:32 |
| SageLord | Jalathan - But on a much larger scale :) | 11:32 |
| rysiek|pl | imaginativeone: if you have kubuntu-desktop package (and dependancies) installed, in kdm or gdm (the login screen - whichever you use) you have the "options" menu, and there - "session type". just choose KDE | 11:32 |
| ghostknife | x-session-manager has a bunch of apps i can only stop with kill. is there any other way? | 11:32 |
| cyberfin | <bump> can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here? When typing "insmod dvbloopback.ko" I get: insmod: error inserting 'dvbloopback.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module... please throw me in the right direction! | 11:32 |
| rysiek|pl | imaginativeone: what work, what have you lost? | 11:32 |
| ghostknife | a bunch of child apps | 11:32 |
| Jeztastic | pain! so simple, not the kind of thing you can google easy | 11:32 |
| Jalathan | Jeztastic, ok, did you type in startx? | 11:32 |
| rysiek|pl | cyberfin: instead of insmod, try modprobe | 11:33 |
| girard | tech0007: it gives me a uuid cant see a partition name though | 11:33 |
| Jeztastic | nope, still editing not got that for | 11:33 |
| Jeztastic | far | 11:33 |
| cyberfin | ok one sec | 11:33 |
| rysiek|pl | cyberfin: it *should* load the module dependancies | 11:33 |
| SageLord | imaginativeone - If you have already installed the package, just choose KDE from the sessions menu in the login screen | 11:33 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am getting lines in vidoes when compiz is enabled, i have been trying but so far no fix except disable effects | 11:33 |
| Smegzor | I can't bring up administration/login window on one of my ubuntu machines. I get a busy mouse then nothing. How do I fix it? | 11:33 |
| cyberfin | ok... I get: FATAL: Module dvbloopback.ko not found. | 11:33 |
| Jalathan | ... kk | 11:33 |
| Jeztastic | x is not running | 11:34 |
| Jalathan | Jaffarkelshac, if you have an ati video are, you are not alone | 11:34 |
| rysiek|pl | cyberfin: sudo modprobe dvbloopback | 11:34 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: for modprobe the module needs to be linked against the kernel source and put in /lib/modules/{kernel-version} | 11:34 |
| tech0007 | girard: how many harddrives u have? | 11:34 |
| rysiek|pl | cyberfin: without the ".ko" | 11:34 |
| jettero | my notification area claims I need to reboot for security reasons, but I don't recall installing a kernel upgrade... is there a way to figure out a) what I should restart so I don't have to reboot and b) clear that notification from the notification area? | 11:34 |
| cyberfin | ah | 11:34 |
| girard | 1 physical | 11:34 |
| Jalathan | Jeztastic, what's the error output that's given? | 11:34 |
| SageLord | welp | 11:34 |
| SageLord | upgrade is complete, rebooting | 11:35 |
| tech0007 | girard: can u paste sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda? | 11:35 |
| Jaffarkelshac | Jalathan: i have nvidia | 11:35 |
| drash | Jaffarkelshac: vsync settings re-check might be worth a look, turning it off in compiz and activating it on your card natively is always a better option imho | 11:35 |
| rysiek|pl | guys, what option should I add to the kernel options in live-cd boot-up screen in hardy, so that it boots-up into text console? | 11:35 |
| * Jalathan smacks his head | 11:35 | |
| cyberfin | ghostknife: can you ellaborate slightly? sounds liek you're shooting in my general directin :) | 11:35 |
| Jalathan | i'm out after this... | 11:35 |
| girard | tech0007: its on here aswell http://pastebin.com/d4f5d754c | 11:35 |
| Jalathan | Jaffarkelshac, sorry... <.<;; | 11:35 |
| Kira | wow | 11:36 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i think know how to enable it in nvidia-settings but where in compiz do i disable it drash | 11:36 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: where did you get the module? | 11:36 |
| Kira | There's a freaking torrent going on over here in Hong Kong. | 11:36 |
| cyberfin | svn'd it | 11:36 |
| loller | i`ve got problems with update manage i got this problem trying to start updates E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 11:36 |
| loller | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 11:36 |
| drash | Jaffarkelshac: i'll check , don't remember right now, just a moment please | 11:36 |
| ghostknife | and how did you compile it? | 11:36 |
| rysiek|pl | cyberfin: did you try "sudo make install"? | 11:36 |
| loller | somebody to help me? | 11:36 |
| Jeztastic | xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriteing possibly-customised configuration file: backup in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.20080607110208 | 11:36 |
| Jalathan | kk | 11:36 |
| rysiek|pl | ghostknife: ok, he's yours, seems like you're on it ;) | 11:37 |
| cyberfin | no rule to make target 'install' | 11:37 |
| Jalathan | you are in the cli Jeztastic? | 11:37 |
| drash | Jaffarkelshac: general > display options | 11:37 |
| Jalathan | no xserver? | 11:37 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: how did you compile it? | 11:37 |
| Jeztastic | yes, on diff machine. | 11:37 |
| rysiek|pl | loller: fire-up the terminal/konsole | 11:37 |
| tech0007 | girard: ok i see it, its sda1 sda2 or sda3 | 11:37 |
| Jalathan | kk | 11:37 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i will give this a try, thanks drash | 11:37 |
| tech0007 | you need to add those in fstab and add noauto | 11:37 |
| rysiek|pl | loller: and type: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 11:37 |
| natalisushka | Hi! I am having a problem with my mouse, after installing ubuntu 8.04 it works for a while and then it stops! I unplug it and plug it to another laptop, and it works, I plug it back to the first laptop and still doesn't move until I restart the computer! How can I solve this? | 11:37 |
| Jalathan | Jeztastic, type in 'startx' | 11:37 |
| Jeztastic | can't get from cli to the configure program | 11:37 |
| rage | Does anyone know of a terminal command that will bring up the shutdown dialouge? | 11:37 |
| girard | tech0007: its ntfs and 70ish gig so it must be sda1 i think | 11:38 |
| rysiek|pl | loller: and paste the whole output to the pastebin (not here!), and paste the link to it here | 11:38 |
| Jeztastic | k | 11:38 |
| tech0007 | girard: yup | 11:38 |
| Jalathan | Jeztastic, so you can't use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'? | 11:38 |
| loller | rysiek|pl: i already do this but it shows me this http://pastebin.ca/1040249 | 11:38 |
| cyberfin | I got it from 'svn co http://opensvn.csie.org/sascng sasc-ng' | 11:38 |
| SageLord | tech0007 - Well, that did the trick. Now ALL my kernals show up all the way back to 12 :) | 11:38 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: so you didn't compile it? | 11:38 |
| cyberfin | I initially had some dependency problems but after solving them this is the last bridge to cross | 11:39 |
| loller | rysiek|pl: something bad is happening wiht dpkg | 11:39 |
| Jeztastic | yes. was using, it flipped to the cli halfway through, and can't get back in to finish off | 11:39 |
| drash | SageLOrd: lol, you are a better archive than packages.ubuntu.com | 11:39 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: when you speak to me, put my nick in front of the line, like I'm doing yours, this way my client highlights the line and I don't miss your messages like I've done twice | 11:39 |
| Jalathan | hrm, ok... | 11:39 |
| cyberfin | yes i did compile with ./configure; make module | 11:39 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: paste the make file and read me file please | 11:39 |
| Smegzor | oh crap. i've found a bug in hardy that has been logged as closed, cept I'm up-to-date and its alive and well :( | 11:39 |
| rysiek|pl | loller: I can see that. there's something wrong with AppArmour, but I haven't used it, so I am out :/ | 11:39 |
| Jeztastic | started x now | 11:39 |
| cyberfin | ghostknife ok | 11:39 |

| kahrytan | Anyone know how to install Nvidia driver for 7200 in Hardy? | 11:43 |
| Jeztastic | ok, trying to start the terminal is crashing x now :( | 11:43 |
| tech0007 | SageLord: it depends on your videocard, video output in mplayer preferences and the file you play | 11:43 |
| rysiek|pl | danza: hence - "single" is the way ;) | 11:43 |
| SageLord | tech0007 - I think it has something to do with my nvidia card/driver | 11:44 |
| cyberfin | ghostknife: here: http://pastecode.net/?action=viewpost&tag=2941 | 11:44 |
| kahrytan | Anyone? | 11:44 |
| tech0007 | SageLord: i heard you can have issues when compiz is on | 11:44 |
| girard | tech0007: is it possible to tel which 1 im using and delte the other - one is 500ish meg the other is 800 ish | 11:44 |
| SageLord | tech0007 - hmmm... there is also a delay when loading the program | 11:44 |
| girard | i thought swap partitions are limited to 500 meg so the 800 one is redundant? | 11:44 |
| ghostknife | cyberfin: what files are there? give me an "ls" | 11:44 |
| soundray | girard: no, the limit is 2GB | 11:45 |

| soundray | kahrytan: can you elaborate | 11:45 |
| tech0007 | girard: if you have enough RAM, you dont need a very large swap or more than 1 swaps | 11:46 |

| Jalathan | Jeztastic, *sigh* i'm afraid that i am flat out unable to be of help, as my brain is fried... | 11:46 |
| tech0007 | girard: you're using sda7 as swap based from your fstab | 11:47 |
| Jalathan | Jeztastic, i bid you good luck | 11:47 |
| kahrytan | soundray, I just upgraded my system and this stupid card doesnt even work with Ubuntu. | 11:47 |
| icqnumber | Flames, soundray, thank you people | 11:47 |
| girard | tech0007: 1 of those swaps is the real 1 ubuntu made when installing - the other 1 is something i think i made by accident :) | 11:47 |
| drash | jettero: check the 'updates' settings in 'software sources' .. you might have it on 'install security updates without confirmation' | 11:47 |
| soundray | kahrytan: are you sure? Is it listed on some incompatible list? | 11:47 |
| Jeztastic | OK, thanks | 11:47 |

| soundray | natalisushka: that means that your laptops USB subsystem is causing the problem. | 11:56 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, I tried before but I would restart now and check. | 11:56 |
| natalisushka | soundray, I just figured that out, how can I fix that | 11:56 |
| natalisushka | ? | 11:56 |
| soundray | natalisushka: you could check for resource conflicts with 'cat /proc/interrupts' | 11:57 |
| SageLord | This mouse your using? Its not the touchpad is it? | 11:57 |
| natalisushka | soundray, What could the conflict be? How would I know if there is a conflict? | 11:57 |
| soundray | natalisushka: compare the output before and after it fails | 11:57 |
| natalisushka | soundray, I need to restart then | 11:58 |
| soundray | natalisushka: and see if any line containing ehci or uhci contains other stuff as well. Put both outputs up on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 11:58 |

| rysiek|pl | guys, need help here. I am trying to set-up hardy on an ati xpress 1250-fitted laptop; after starting the bootup all hanged - and I thought it's due to ati problems | 12:07 |
| rysiek|pl | BUT | 12:07 |
| Da_Putzler | If I uninstall something in Synaptic, and it wishes to remove Ubuntu-Desktop also, will i still be able to get proper updates if ubuntu-Desktop is missing ??? | 12:08 |
| rysiek|pl | it seems like the KEYBOARD stops functioning after starting the bootup! | 12:08 |

| tech0007 | Da_Putzler: yup, its jsut a meta-package | 12:08 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, I rebooted and lsusb adds this: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 090c:1000 Feiya Technology Corp. Memory Bar | 12:08 |
| rysiek|pl | Da_Putzler: yup, but you will *not* be able to make a smooth dist-upgrade (from Hardy to Intrepid in half a year) | 12:09 |
| Da_Putzler | tech: so updates will be fine cause I wanna remove pulse-audio | 12:09 |
| soundray | natalisushka: okay, it's not a resource conflict. I think it might just be bad hardware. | 12:09 |
| rysiek|pl | heh, you are not alone with that one, Da_Putzler | 12:09 |
| Da_Putzler | rys: will prolly re-install whole system from CD anyhow... should be fine :) | 12:09 |

| tech0007 | natalisushka: is your mouse plugged in? you see anyother in lsusb? | 12:11 |
| Smegzor | What is the console command to configure a network interface? Ubuntu isn't aware of my network card for some reason. | 12:11 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, I didn't see anything that reffered to mouse, anyway, shorty after I used lsusb mouse again stopped working! | 12:11 |
| _moro_bana_ | soundray: yes, its a path right, or is there a word for that? | 12:11 |

| Da_Putzler | thx guys... much appreciated | 12:11 |

| drash | zaraba: what card ? and could you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log at paste.ubuntu.com ? | 12:12 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: hmmm, tail /var/log/message ? | 12:12 |

| 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+) | 12:13 |
| drash | huy: install flash player 10 beta, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 (part B) | 12:13 |
| soundray | LimCore: I understand very well, and I dislike your attitude, so I will stop this conversation here. | 12:14 |
| huy | kahrytan: it maybe the graphic card problem. try the recovery, and run without graphic acceleration | 12:14 |

| huy | drash: thank you | 12:15 |
| Smegzor | LimCore: edit menu.lst in /boot/grub, remove splash and quiet from the entries that have them. | 12:15 |
| LimCore | Smegzor: I did | 12:15 |
| whileimhere | I was wondering how difficult is it to hook a computer up to a TV with ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| kahrytan | huy, I had to turn it off to boot | 12:15 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: i see your flashdrive, but i dont see your mouse | 12:15 |
| LimCore | Smegzor: still on restart I get messages on vt8 and I get this progress bar | 12:15 |
| kahrytan | huy, Didnt i just say the screen goes blank? | 12:15 |
| DjViper | whileimhere: what sort of gfx card do you have? | 12:15 |
| soundray | !tvout | whileimhere | 12:16 |
| drash | huy: you're welcome, hope it solves the issues | 12:16 |
| ubottu | whileimhere: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) | 12:16 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, although it didn't mount it! | 12:16 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: can you check if you can access your flashdrive in nautilus? | 12:16 |
| kahrytan | huy, NV driver works | 12:16 |
| Smegzor | LimCore: every time I get kernel updates, I have to go back into menu.lst and edit them out again | 12:16 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: its sdb | 12:16 |
| LimCore | Smegzor: well I edited it now again, it doesnt have quiet nor splash | 12:16 |
| kahrytan | So Nvidia 7200 cards DO NOT work in Ubuntu | 12:16 |
| bacardee | why is it so complicated for everything ugh | 12:16 |
| LimCore | kahrytan: they probably work. try reporting the bug | 12:16 |
| LimCore | kahrytan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug | 12:16 |

| kahrytan | LimCore, No need | 12:17 |
| soundray | tech0007: I think it might be worth looking at natalisushka's dmesg output once the USB fails again | 12:17 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, it was unplugged, I plugged it but nothing happened | 12:17 |
| whileimhere | I dont have one yet. There is a used comp shop here where I live and the guy has 64 bit agp and pci cards used for $10 | 12:17 |
| zaraba | the card and restriced drivers worked fine in 7.10 but it won't work in 8.04 | 12:17 |
| huy | kahrytan: nvidia is horrible with ubuntu. my computer would randomly crashes with input devices responding. the only solution is not to install accelerated graphic | 12:17 |

| soundray | kahrytan: are you running the realtime kernel? | 12:18 |
| kahrytan | soundray, It's linked | 12:18 |
| LimCore | huy: I had same problems but rarerrlly | 12:18 |
| LimCore | huy: only on dual core... try newest drivers | 12:18 |
| Smegzor | Can someone tell me the command to configure a network (non-gui way). | 12:18 |
| tech0007 | Smegzor: see man ifconfig | 12:18 |
| tech0007 | Smegzor: network or network device? | 12:19 |
| Smegzor | I have a missing network device | 12:19 |
| huy | limcore: i did last week. same problem occured. i'm not using any driver and it's working rather smooth, no special effects though | 12:19 |
| Smegzor | its a 1 gigabit lan card that ubuntu has trouble detecting, not wireless. | 12:19 |
| kahrytan | Unless someone tells me something different with this card | 12:19 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, soundray, by the way, I am having another problem with my flashmemory. I am I copied some folders to it that contained files named with strange chars, and for that reason I am not able to erase these files even from trash! it even happened with the system, saved some similar files on another hard disk (fat23) and although I reinstalled the system 20 times I still can't get rid of these files from the system. | 12:20 |
| Woxdee | Smegzor: If you want it very dirty and simple from the commandline: 'ifconfig eth0 up 10.0.0.123; route add default gw 10.0.0.1 ; echo "nameserver 10.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf"' -- note that this will overwrite your resolv.conf (use double >> if you just want to append the data). | 12:20 |
| natalisushka | So can you help me now how to maybe format the flash memory at least from that? | 12:20 |
| LimCore | huy: well.. compalin to nvidia =) | 12:20 |
| zaraba | drash: am pretty new to Ubuntu, am getting a no such file when I attempt to do that | 12:20 |
| natalisushka | I have anther laptop to use USB | 12:20 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: what kind of files? you can jsut format the flashmemory. | 12:20 |
| Woxdee | Smegzor: That sets eth0 up with the 10.0.0.123 address and sets 10.0.0.1 as your internet gateway and nameserver. | 12:20 |
| soundray | natalisushka: you can partition and format flash memory with gparted | 12:21 |
| Smegzor | Woxdee: thanks. Its a new install so I don't mind overwriting stuff (so long as I don't overwrite with Windows!) | 12:21 |
| natalisushka | tech0007, How? I tried removing them under sudo rm -r | 12:21 |
| soundray | !gparted | natalisushka | 12:21 |
| ubottu | natalisushka: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 12:21 |
| natalisushka | soundray, I tried it, it couldn't read it even! | 12:21 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: thanks soundray | 12:21 |
| natalisushka | I tried gparted and partman and failed! | 12:21 |
| huy | limcore: already did, apparently this is a problem with geforce 6k series | 12:21 |
| Woxdee | Smegzor: Just keep in mind that that command will have to be issued on every boot if you're planning to set it as a permanent config through these means. | 12:22 |
| soundray | natalisushka: did gparted not list your flash drive? | 12:22 |
| n6rej | how can I resize /tmp | 12:22 |
| n6rej | i was stupid and made it too small | 12:22 |
| Smegzor | eww | 12:22 |
| tech0007 | natalisushka: try formating the flashdrive in another computer. your laptop may have usb problems | 12:22 |
| natalisushka | soundray, it listed, but I couldn't format it | 12:22 |
| Smegzor | hmm.. I'd much rather Ubuntu just used the card its got. | 12:22 |
| soundray | natalisushka: maybe it was mounted. | 12:22 |
| drash | zaraba: no problem, take your time and double-check the existence of /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. that should be there .. did you check via nautilus the file manager whether it is there ? | 12:22 |

| natalisushka | tech0007, it's a simple mp3 player without a screen or special files inside! | 12:24 |

| TuniX12 | NemosNemos: it has | 13:00 |
| jrib | insomninja: yes | 13:00 |
| Esteth | spiniker, That's expected behaviour for a kernel update. You can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove entries you don't want | 13:00 |

| TuniX12 | NemosNemos: you cant add without formatting!! | 13:02 |
| Esteth | NemosNemos, Boot from the live CD. launch gparted there, either through the menu, or through a terminal, and it should work. You cannot modify a partition that is currently in use, such as the ubuntu partition you plan to run gparted from | 13:02 |
| Esteth | TuniX12, That's false with the default ubuntu and windows filesystems | 13:02 |
| NemosNemos | Ok Esteth | 13:03 |
| Vorbote | NemosNemos: You really want to use a specialty distro. If you are a beginner, I suggest you try with PartedMagic first. It has an enhanded gparted tool that works great with ntfs partitions. | 13:03 |
| NemosNemos | Now the last thing: where can I find G parted on live? From Resource--> System? | 13:03 |
| Esteth | NemosNemos, I beleive it's under System->administration->disk editor, or something. I'm on windows at the moment, so I can't check | 13:03 |
| NemosNemos | OK | 13:03 |

| nemosNemos1 | I'm on the Live session, and I've opened GParted. However, I cannot resize the NTFS partition, because it says ERROR: NTFS is incostitent | 13:20 |
| nemosNemos1 | What do I have to do? | 13:20 |
| freddysphere | hi to all | 13:20 |
| mnemo | dr_willis: manual doesn't say much specific about it --> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Stage2-errors.html#Stage2-errors | 13:20 |
| Leefmc | drash, Well if its a good firewall i'm fine. Are there settings that allow for it to notify me etc? I've installed many apps that have used inet and yet no firewall has questioned them. | 13:20 |
| nemosNemos1 | hey | 13:20 |
| drash | salparadise_: no need to run firestarter all the time, i won't advise that, just launch it when you want to make some rule changes | 13:21 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: can you acces those ntfs volumes? | 13:21 |
| nemosNemos1 | a moment | 13:21 |
| MadHag | nemosNemos1, use system rescue cd @ http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 13:21 |
| nemosNemos1 | I'm trying | 13:21 |
| nemosNemos1 | why? | 13:21 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, i would say either the grub config is looking at the wrong filesystem, or the filesystem is currupted. from what i am reading. | 13:21 |
| salparadise_ | drash: ah okay, thx | 13:21 |
| TuniX12 | can you acces?? | 13:21 |
| nemosNemos1 | Yes, I can access | 13:21 |
| nemosNemos1 | I just want to resize that partition | 13:22 |
| nemosNemos1 | Is it so difficult? | 13:22 |
| nemosNemos1 | On Windows I would that in 2 seconds | 13:22 |
| TuniX12 | is ntfs volume encrypted? | 13:22 |
| nemosNemos1 | No, it shouldn't be encrypted | 13:22 |
| drash | Leefmc: iptables is very robust (hence very complex) .. firestarter will report all you want yes | 13:22 |
| MadHag | ekiga anyone, fancy a chat! | 13:22 |
| Leefmc | drash, K thanks, i'll look into it | 13:22 |
| freddysphere | i use part image linux bootable cd | 13:23 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: past the error msg of gparted | 13:23 |
| nemosNemos1 | Ok | 13:23 |
| nemosNemos1 | A moment | 13:23 |
| nemosNemos1 | I have to past the link to the image | 13:23 |
| nemosNemos1 | Because I cannot copy the text | 13:23 |
| MarkusKool | hi | 13:23 |
| mnemo | dr_Willis: since I just removed one partition I think that sounds reasonable... but I alredy edited menu.lst to fix it... | 13:23 |
| nemosNemos1 | Just a moment | 13:23 |
| ompaul | !enter | nemosNemos1 | 13:23 |
| ubottu | nemosNemos1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:23 |
| MadHag | nemosNemos1, if you use gparted via sysrescue I bet that would resize your ntfs partition | 13:24 |
| MadHag | nemosNemos1, works everytime for me | 13:24 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, you do rember that grub starts Numbering at 0? :) | 13:24 |
| priya | Hai to all | 13:24 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: maybe the partition table is mucked up | 13:24 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, also dont try to boot a extended partition.. but the logical IN the extended. | 13:25 |

| southafrikanse | Hello. I've just installed Opera but I'm unable to see any flash in the websites. I've tried to solve my problem from google but it still doesn't work | 13:25 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, ive lerned from accidently trying to doo all this in the past. :P | 13:25 |
| nemosNemos1 | Teswhat? | 13:25 |
| TuniX12 | Nem | 13:25 |
| mnemo | dr_Willis: i think I have three primary partitions --> http://rafb.net/p/37ySVg40.html looks correct, no? | 13:25 |
| rick_ | how do install thing here :P it my fisrt time on linux | 13:25 |
| ompaul | nemosNemos1, can you boot windows and shut it down cleanly? | 13:26 |
| jrib | !software > rick_ (read the private message from ubottu) | 13:26 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: sudo apt-get install testdisk | 13:26 |
| nemosNemos1 | OK | 13:26 |
| jrib | rick_: you should read through the guide at help.ubuntu.com | 13:26 |
| nemosNemos1 | I'm on the Live session | 13:26 |
| nemosNemos1 | is it ok anyway? | 13:26 |
| TuniX12 | no | 13:26 |
| nemosNemos1 | So what? | 13:26 |
| TuniX12 | i foget that | 13:26 |
| ompaul | nemosNemos1, the problem is an unclean shutdown of the windows partition can you boot windows and then shut it down cleanly and work from there? | 13:26 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, did you 'resize' these partitions with gparted? thers a gap in the Numbering of the cylinders I notice.. | 13:27 |
| Leefmc | Is there some sort of search with "apt-get install ___" ? In otherwords, is there a way i can search for valid appnames to use in install? And possibly get descriptions, as to not install the wrong thing | 13:27 |
| Stroganoff | Leefmc search at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 13:27 |
| jasdevan | Leefmc: try apt-cache search xxxxx | 13:27 |
| jrib | !apt > Leefmc (read the private message from ubottu) | 13:27 |
| mnemo | dr_Willis: nah, I used the built in partition resize in Vista to shrink my NTFS partition and then I also removed another NTFS partition completely | 13:27 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: you should testdisk ntfs volume | 13:27 |
| lance | hi | 13:27 |
| nemosNemos1 | You know what? I thought Ubuntu was faster than Windows for managing drives, partition, and things like that; but I've just understood that Windows is far better and easier. I'll open Windows and I'll resize the NTFS in just 2 minutes. Who wants to bet? | 13:28 |
| Leefmc | Stroganoff, ty. jrib, ty :) | 13:28 |
| Leefmc | or rather, jasdevan, sorry haha. Misread a line :) | 13:28 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: the problem is bigger | 13:28 |
| Kitu | somebody have installed ati free driver GIT version ? | 13:28 |
| nemosNemos1 | And then I'll do a TESTDISK on Ubuntu | 13:28 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, so you just deleted some partitions in the middle. (thats why the #'s jump) eh? Its possible the uuid's have changed. but i think thats only if you rezise the linux partitions. | 13:28 |
| lance | i am unable to access the microphone | 13:28 |
| nemosNemos1 | I think these are the gaps which separate Unix Users from Windows users | 13:29 |
| mnemo | dr_Willis: I believe there should be a big gap because I left unpartitioned space... because I wanted to let windows modify the NTFS and then let gparted expand my ext2 partitions later on (I wanted to let each tool do only what it does best) | 13:29 |
| lance | microphone is not working | 13:29 |
| nemosNemos1 | the fact that Linux is still too complicated | 13:29 |
| ompaul | nemosNemos1, you are now in the realms of discussion not problem solving please stop that is offtopic | 13:29 |
| Kitu | PLEASE somebody have installed ati free driver GIT version ? | 13:29 |
| Kitu | :( | 13:29 |
| TuniX12 | nemosNemos1: run check disk on windows | 13:29 |
| dr_Willis | TuniX12, remind him that MS has not released any specs on ntfs for linux.. and hes lucky to even be able to read the disks. :) | 13:30 |
| dr_Willis | TuniX12, heh.. oh he allready left. | 13:30 |
| TuniX12 | ;-) | 13:30 |
| dr_Willis | TuniX12, i love 'reversing' the argument for windows users :P | 13:31 |

| TuniX12 | and.. | 13:32 |
| rick_ | hey dus linux support Worl of Warcraft ? | 13:32 |
| dr_Willis | mnemo, you could just try making a empty partition in the middle... :) or use the grubs shell to 'find' the location of the boot files. and get the proper hd #.,# | 13:32 |
| drash | mnemo: it's fixable, you need to get the correct numbers for your partitions, like the (hd0,0) --> http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/howto-fixing-grub-after-a-windows-installation-and-fixing-the-grub-menu/ | 13:32 |

| Leefmc | I was told Blender might have a repository for the package management system. I am having trouble finding this, so i am asking how to find these sort of things in a generic way. That is, i am asking to learn how to fish, not for a fish heh. How would you go about finding a package manager repo? What would i look for, etc? | 13:36 |
| Kitu | jasdevan, i have ati radeon 9000 pro and i had non free driver installed, compiz's 3d effects worked but not 3d games ... so i try others drivers | 13:36 |
| Stroganoff | lance click your way through (i dont have gnome) the settings menu... | 13:36 |
| Leefmc | Terminology is probably my biggest question, i spose | 13:36 |
| pablo | Stroganoff: thanks | 13:36 |
| Kitu | jasdevan, what's the best driver for my card ? | 13:37 |
| Kitu | the better* | 13:37 |
| ompaul | Leefmc, you go to the menu system administration synaptic package management system and then search | 13:37 |
| lance | i checked with sound under perferences | 13:37 |
| jasdevan | Leefmc: "sudo apt-cache search blender" | 13:37 |

| insomninja | is there a way to make the caps lock key behave as an extra alt gr key? | 13:38 |
| mnemo | drash: that fixed it... thank you VERY much | 13:38 |
| TuniX12 | Kitu: if you can ruun compiz than you have 3d enabled | 13:38 |
| mnemo | I had already fixed menu.lst but it was also necessary to run the "setup" command from the grub command line it seems | 13:38 |
| Stroganoff | lance consider all of these hints to make your microphone work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238820 | 13:38 |

| TuniX12 | msn? | 13:39 |
| kto_pyta_nie_bla | :/ | 13:39 |
| jrib | newk: use pidgin or amsn from the repositories | 13:39 |

| Kitu | TuniX12, how to reinitialize free driver ? | 13:39 |
| Leefmc | jasdevan, In other words, ubuntu comes with default repos. Those stink for Blender heh. Blender being at a new version, i need to upgrade it but the default ubuntu repositories have Blender245, i think thats a whole month late IIRC. So i was talking last night, and i was old Blender might actually have its whole own repository it maintains. What would i search for? ("apt-get repository"? "package manager repository"?) | 13:39 |
| newk | jrib: i do but they dont support video call | 13:39 |
| Kitu | TuniX12, fglrx is free driver ? | 13:39 |

| ubottu | Leefmc: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 13:40 |
| Kitu | ok | 13:40 |
| Leefmc | jasdevan, Hope you got that all, i think XChat has a bad line count heh. | 13:40 |
| Kitu | msn ? | 13:40 |
| Kitu | euh | 13:40 |
| newk | tuniX12: does it support video call | 13:40 |
| newk | ? | 13:40 |
| dr_Willis | im amazed that people install IM clients and want to voice/video chat.. then they go on their Cell Phone and want to Text Message each other... :) | 13:40 |
| TuniX12 | free clone of MSN | 13:40 |
| Kitu | AMSN | 13:40 |
| Kitu | lol | 13:40 |
| Kitu | so | 13:40 |
| Leefmc | ompaul, When it comes to features, newer is better in 3d apps. | 13:40 |
| BCM43 | dr_Willis: lol, but not ubuntu related | 13:40 |
| shenlong | drash what's pasuspender? | 13:40 |
| Leefmc | ompaul, 3d apps usually make huge leaps between versions. | 13:40 |
| newk | kitu: i use amsn but it has no video call | 13:40 |
| dr_Willis | BCM43, its funny because its true.... :) | 13:40 |
| Kitu | TuniX12, what's the package to installe to be sure that free driver is installed and actived ? | 13:40 |
| Leefmc | ompaul, In my case, between bugs, features, and api enhancements, newer is better. | 13:41 |
| Kitu | newk, si | 13:41 |
| marshall | is anybody else having a problem changing the desktop background? | 13:41 |

| ompaul | !compile | Leefmc your justification is for yourself not me this is how you get to where you want and you search their site for the sources | 13:41 |
| ubottu | Leefmc your justification is for yourself not me this is how you get to where you want and you search their site for the sources: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:41 |
| dabbill | i just tried to update to the latest nvidia driver off the nvidia web site now every time i boot it goes to low-graphics mode. | 13:41 |
| newk | kitu: with amsn???? | 13:41 |
| jasdevan | Leefmc: I got it, sorry I misunderstood your original question. I'd suggest google, honestly. Or if it's that important to you to stay with the latest version, consider compiling from source. | 13:41 |
| Kitu | yes | 13:41 |
| drash | shenlong: it's a pulseaudio command to move itself out of the way of any application that doesn't support it, without killing things so any other ap that does work with it can keep on tuning in as well | 13:41 |
| TuniX12 | marshall: which problem? | 13:41 |
| mnemo | dr_Willis: since I deleted one my NTFS partitions the index in menu.lst was wrong... my linux partition used to be (hd0,2) but when I deleted the extra NTFS partition I had my linux partition at (hd0,1) instead.... I had already figured out how to boot a livecd and update the menu.lst chaning (hd0,2) into (hd0,1) but that was not sufficient.... the final step that fixed it for me was starting the grub command line tool using "sudo grub" and then running | 13:41 |
| Kitu | newk, i have problem with micro i believe but visio work | 13:42 |

| renfrew | anyone else having issues with thier gnome top panel, stuff gets shuffled around sometimes on startup? | 14:39 |

| WIDESPREADpanic | eggo r u there? | 14:59 |
| Emess | noneo: install qt3 and build, then uninstall | 14:59 |
| ompaul | kahrytan, that is not hardy and the drivers from nvidia have changed over time | 14:59 |
| kahrytan | ompaul, true but at least it did work | 14:59 |
| noneo | Emess: there is no libqt3-dev | 14:59 |
| Emess | Having qt3 itself should be enough | 15:00 |
| Kaldor|NFLD | how can I keep cairo-clock on my desktop? It keeps disappearing. | 15:00 |
| Emess | does the packages documentation say you need the dev build of qt? | 15:00 |
| ompaul | kahrytan, driver came from nvidia - driver worked they changed it | 15:00 |
| noneo | Emess: you think 'build qt3 and then build app for qt3'? ;-) | 15:00 |
| Emess | noneo: you could do that, but it would take a while, qt3 is big | 15:00 |
| Emess | noneo: see if there is a deb on debians package mirror for it maybe | 15:01 |
| Emess | or in ubuntu backports | 15:01 |
| noneo | Emess: I have problems to point the ./configure to libs and includes. Can't see it. | 15:01 |

| Emess | dsmith1974: it could be you dont ahve the codec for the type of stream it is | 15:03 |
| Emess | dsmith1974: see if you can open it in vlc maybe | 15:03 |
| ompaul | Sam827, not at such, however you can circumvent it if you have not used an encrypted file system | 15:03 |
| zvacet | Sam827 : system>preferences> about me | 15:03 |
| Emess | alado2: check your xorg.conf file, it may need the resoutions redefined | 15:04 |
| Sam827 | ompaul: how do I circumvent it? | 15:04 |
| BABA_RECORD | i need some help, my connection get crashed, i need to restart my PC to connect automaticly :P because i dnk the command to dial the connection , | 15:04 |
| ompaul | Sam827, as the system is booting, press esc and choose recovery - in there type "passwd username" and then put in a new password then type reboot | 15:04 |

| IOIOIO | Hey | 15:04 |

| Emess | dsmith1974: not necessarily, and vlc is a media player that has all its own codecs, so it tends to be able to play things other players cant | 15:05 |
| TuniX12 | IOIOIO: hi | 15:05 |
| dsmith1974 | noneo, I'll try another now... | 15:05 |

| alado2 | askvictor: nope, is that something i install from synaptic? | 15:07 |
| Emess | alado2: there is a section in xorg.conf called screen, and in it, display, there is a block there for resolution, also as askvictor mentioned, nvidia-config should do it automatically | 15:07 |
| IOIOIO | Hey | 15:07 |
| IOIOIO | Where are you? | 15:07 |
| TuniX12 | IOIOIO: what's up? | 15:07 |

| alado2 | Emess: ok, utils and nvidia config from synaptics then? | 15:08 |
| Emess | nvidia-config comes in utils | 15:08 |
| mDemocritus | effraie: whoops wrong person sorry | 15:08 |
| Emess | id do a general search for nvidia in synaptic tho | 15:08 |
| effraie | mDemocritus: i run the server myself with postfix and dovecot | 15:08 |
| mDemocritus | arbeck77: do you have access to the server | 15:08 |
| Sam827 | ompaul: can you post the instructions again? | 15:08 |
| effraie | erf, mDemocritus | 15:08 |
| alado2 | Emess: ok, i'll try it out | 15:08 |
| alado2 | thnx | 15:08 |
| Emess | and make sure that your graphics card is actualy using the nvidia driver in your xorg conf | 15:08 |
| Emess | in the screen section, Driver "nvidia" | 15:09 |
| alado2 | Emess: yes it does | 15:09 |
| adria | hola | 15:10 |
| ompaul | Sam827, as the box starts too boot, press esc on the grub menu, when that pauses you choose recovery, when that finishes type "passwd username" that should sort it out for ya - however if it fails then you got to try other stuff - as long as you do not have an encrypted filesystem | 15:10 |
| === adria is now known as an0nym0us | ||
| Sam827 | k | 15:10 |
| arbeck77 | mDemocritus, yes... i can connect fine with smbclient, and I can browse it just fine... i want to mount it so I have write access though | 15:10 |

| mDemocritus | arbeck77: mount -t smbfs //host/share /path/to/mountpoint doesn't work? | 15:11 |
| alado2 | Emess: i suppose nvidia-settings is what you mean, cant find something called nvidia-utils, or? | 15:11 |
| Emess | ah could be | 15:11 |
| Emess | in my distro its nvidia-utils | 15:11 |
| Emess | ubuntu may have a different name | 15:12 |
| arbeck77 | mDemocritus, nope... my guess is that mount.cifs is set up to send an encrypted password but the server wants plain text | 15:12 |
| === adria is now known as an0nym0us | ||
| mDemocritus | arbeck77: could you pastebin your smbd.conf | 15:12 |
| legend2440 | ompaul: does he need sudo passwd username? or is sudo not needed in recovery mode? | 15:12 |
| alado2 | Emess: "The nvidia-settings utility is a tool for configuring the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver." | 15:12 |
| mDemocritus | arbeck77: for the server, of course | 15:12 |
| ompaul | trademark, perhaps system preferences keyboard from the menu should sort it | 15:12 |
| Emess | alado2: thats it then | 15:12 |
| ompaul | legend2440, recovery does use UID 0 | 15:12 |
| legend2440 | ompaul: ok thanks didn't know that | 15:13 |
| ompaul | legend2440, you are welcome :) | 15:13 |

| Emess | ....why restart...just restart X..... | 15:33 |

| erUSUL | rathin: shows up if you use "ip addr show eth0" ?? | 15:38 |
| gokul | which is the most stable version of LINUX to work on SATA | 15:38 |
| TuniX12 | gokul: the problem is from the chipset | 15:39 |
| TuniX12 | not from linux | 15:39 |
| rathin | erUSUL:but then wats the difference between wat i said and u said i mean diff. b/w if config eth0 and ip addr show eht0 ?? | 15:39 |
| TuniX12 | some chipsets are unsupported | 15:39 |
| mDemocritus | gokul: from the article TuniX12 linked you: "Note: There is no such thing as a distribution or its installer (generically) "having SATA support" (or not)" | 15:39 |
| erUSUL | rathin: it is just another command to do the same... it is just to discard a bug in ifconfig | 15:40 |

| philosophe | thanks :) | 15:43 |
| mDemocritus | arbeck77: i would think it might have to do with client plaintext auth and client lanman auth at lines 126-7 in the client's smb.conf.... | 15:43 |
| rathin | erUSUL:what do i do then | 15:43 |
| rathin | always | 15:43 |

| mDemocritus | arbeck77: that's all i can really see though... have you found an bugs for it on launchpad, etc? | 15:44 |
| arbeck77 | mDemocritus, they are commented out... I had them in when I was connecting via plain text... which works for everything but mounting | 15:44 |
| mDemocritus | arbeck77: that's so wierd | 15:44 |
| erUSUL | rathin: can you post the output on pastebin? post the output of «sudo ip link set eth0 up && sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0 && ip addr show eth0» | 15:44 |
| erUSUL | !pastebin | rathin | 15:45 |

| mDemocritus | arbeck77: so you authenticate fine, just not with mount.cifs | 15:45 |
| esref | ok | 15:45 |
| mDemocritus | arbeck77: what's the command you're using to mount? | 15:45 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 15:45 |
| arbeck77 | mDemocritus, right... my suspension is that mount.cifs does not support unencrypted passwords period | 15:45 |
| mDemocritus | zetheroo: that's a common issue with compiz... google around for window boarders disappear | 15:46 |
| deeperror | hamid11771, create a script in /etc/init.d/beep | 15:46 |

| twistedoblivion | I appreciate all the help!!! Will be looking into all suggestions, thanks in advance | 16:22 |
| JarG0n | bazhang_> I did, but it keeps telling me to restart anyway. I've even rebooted. | 16:23 |

| dr_Willis | quantumelixir, hard drives are the MOST unreliable part of a PC. Stuff happens.... | 16:27 |
| Bodsda | sanya, specialised bash questions can also be asked in #bash as not many people in this room have a high level bash knowledge, some do but not all | 16:27 |
| zvacet | rick_ : when you get morefamiliar with linux you will share dr_Willis opinion | 16:27 |
| Bodsda | fsckd, yep | 16:27 |
| quantumelixir | dr_Willis: how serious is a file system inconsistency? | 16:28 |
| sanya | ok.. thanks, i'll ask in #bash | 16:28 |
| dr_Willis | quantumelixir, i imagine it depends on how inconstant it is | 16:28 |

| ompaul | quantumelixir, that is not bad | 16:29 |
| krang | Hey all, my CPAN is broken. How do I get rid of it and reinstall it? Do I just aptitude remove perl5? | 16:29 |

| dr_Willis | quantumelixir, that has nothing to do with inconstancyt | 16:29 |
| quantumelixir | ompaul: ok.. thanks | 16:29 |

| Bodsda | un2him, how did your delve into hardy proposed go? | 16:30 |

| fsckd | legend2440, its alittle unstable IMO | 16:31 |
| quantumelixir | dr_Willis: When exactly does such a problem arise? What shouldnt I do from now on? | 16:31 |
| mDemocritus | hxu: then sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source | 16:31 |
| Bodsda | legend2440, its better then any previous versions | 16:31 |
| twistedoblivion | I remember looking through files that people had and being able to download them, but don't remember how to do that anymore | 16:31 |

| * mDemocritus shrugs at kumarphilly | 17:02 | |
| kumarphilly | mDemocritus, so what should i do! | 17:02 |
| enterneo | IndyGunFreak: elucidate | 17:02 |
| nibsa1242b | only thing I wish vlc did was audio compression; I hate it when I constantly have to turn the volume up and down while watching a dvd | 17:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | enterneo: just opinion. | 17:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | nibsa1242b: ?.. i've never had to do that | 17:02 |
| mDemocritus | kumarphilly: the "I830PMEvent: Capability change" line looks supicious, same with "(II) PM Event received: Capability Changed" | 17:02 |
| enterneo | vlc cannot play my videos on my network | 17:02 |
| nibsa1242b | other then not doing audio compression vlc is great... I even tell people with windows to use it | 17:03 |
| mDemocritus | kumarphilly: but i have no clue what to do about it.... | 17:03 |

| Gemmie78 | Already did mate, no help | 17:13 |
| Gemmie78 | That's the first thing I tried | 17:13 |
| hiptobecubic | kat_aq, mine as well. it worked great for about a month and now when it comes out of suspense it almost always locked | 17:13 |
| MightyTweek | hiptobecubic: if only it could somehow work as 2TB, I'd be set :) | 17:13 |
| hiptobecubic | MightyTweek, if you didn't have data on there i'd tell you to try it! :D | 17:14 |

| bringtowel | linuxpenguin207, that might be your connection, seems fine to me :) | 17:43 |
| systat | legend2440 and Cygoku have biggest bounds | 17:43 |
| legend2440 | Jack_Sparrow: for some reason cd /root/.local/share/Trash/files or sudo cd /root/.local/share/Trash/files is not working for me | 17:43 |
| davi2 | fsckd, no, i get grub error 17 on boot, im botting live cd, my four partitions are mounted correctly with live cd | 17:44 |
| MightyTweek | potty: it marks the sector as bad and tries to recover the data I think | 17:44 |
| sparr | legend2440: "sudo cd" is bad | 17:44 |
| sparr | legend2440: if by some miracle it works, your non-root shell still won't be able to see anything in the folder | 17:44 |
| fsckd | <davi2> well it sounds like the partition order is wrong | 17:44 |
| bringtowel | otarid, if you double click the sound icon, you should see separate sliders for headphones and speakers, so you can mute one or the other. i don't know if there is a way to do this automatically | 17:44 |
| fsckd | <davi2> I don't think I have ever seen win on anything but /dev/sda1 | 17:45 |
| fsckd | <davi2> but I could be wrong | 17:45 |

| musikgoat1 | joanki123: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/someshare where someshare is already an existing folder | 17:56 |

| joanki123 | musikgoat1, there isn't a shortcut? | 17:56 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 gnome-session iirc | 17:56 |
| joanki123 | that's sure a lot of typing if i want to access files often | 17:56 |
| newk | bringtowel: but im lookin for webcam and voice call at the same time, something msn messenger offers in windows | 17:56 |
| musikgoat1 | you can make one joanki123 | 17:56 |
| joanki123 | that's my home drive | 17:56 |

| somethingsweet | tdoggette: Removing evolution will break nothing. | 17:59 |

| tdoggette | Okay, thanks. | 17:59 |

| mnemo | Jack_Sparrow: what backup system do you use? | 18:01 |
| polishpaul | where is the location of the system (default?) icons in Ubuntu? | 18:01 |
| joe_ | Jack_Sparrow, yeah but seeing as how hardy is lts would like to get it working in that if possible | 18:02 |
| nickrud | polishpaul in /usr/share/icons/Human for the default ubuntu theme | 18:02 |
| Akazawa | my usb drive fell out and now I can't unmount it. how do I force unmount it? | 18:02 |
| Shak- | is there a way to get gnome to auto align icons without having to do 'clean up by name' and messing up the existing order each time? | 18:02 |
| polishpaul | nickrud: ty | 18:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mnemo I use a simple tar command | 18:02 |
| fsckd | <zetheroo>do you have the resticted drivers installed | 18:02 |
| XB23 | im root administrator on my box is it possible to see logs on a user so i could find all the last commands a user typed on my dedicated server | 18:02 |
| nickrud | polishpaul I think the gnome dir under icons has the fallback icons (for icons that icon themes don't provide) | 18:03 |
| MightyTweek | Shak-: just check the box on that menu that says "keep aligned" | 18:03 |
| musikgoat1 | XB23: /home/user/.bash_history | 18:03 |
| nickrud | XB23 they should be in $USER/.bash_history | 18:03 |
| mnemo | Jack_Sparrow: ah cool, so is it possible to zip up everything in "/" and then unzip+overwrite to get it running again? | 18:03 |
| XB23 | ta | 18:03 |
| fsckd | !tab | 18:03 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 18:03 |
| joe_ | why is it going to revert back to the old kernel if i install virtualbox? | 18:03 |
| Shak- | MightyTweek: its checked, but if I delete an icon somewhere theres a gap between the adjacent icons | 18:03 |
| zetheroo | fsckd: yes ... the odd thing is that it was working and then it stopped working ... and now when I enable it in visual effects I looses my window borders | 18:03 |
| davi2 | so what's wrong in my fstab? --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/18089/ | 18:04 |
| MightyTweek | Shak-: ah sorry, I understand now... I don't think there's a way to do that | 18:04 |

| === remixxxxx is now known as nighthack | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | mnemo yes | 18:04 |
| MightyTweek | Lithic: no prob :) | 18:04 |
| enterneo | nickrud: reinstalled metacity, windows are still stuck | 18:04 |
| nickrud | davi2 your fstab is syntactically correct, but may not reflect reality | 18:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mnemo gimme a sec and I will paste one of my many commands | 18:05 |
| nickrud | enterneo now run alt-f2 metacity --replace | 18:05 |
| enterneo | nickrud: i am using compiz and emerald btw | 18:05 |
| newk | bringtowel, ive checked and there nothing there.. thanks for ur help .. guess ill jus hav to convince my girlfriend to get onto skype no way im goin bac to vista:) | 18:05 |
| nickrud | enterneo ah, then try reinstalling compiz, and running compiz --replace and emerald --replace | 18:05 |
| enterneo | nickrud: how to reinstall compiz? | 18:05 |

| mnemo | Jack_Sparrow: thanks man, I was just googling for a decent way backup my machine | 18:06 |
| mDemocritus | mnemo, make sure those excludes are there | 18:06 |
| davi2 | nickrud, i see the same information in gparted, with what i have to compare fstab | 18:06 |
| bringtowel | newk, oh well good luck, sorry hopefully that feature will be included in the future, Skype is quite nice so hopefully you both can use that happily :) | 18:06 |
| nickrud | davi2 so what's not happening correctly then? | 18:06 |
| MightyTweek | gnychis: try lsusb | 18:06 |
| davi2 | i cannot boot with grub error 17 and i canot reinstall grub | 18:07 |
| polishpaul | is there a way i can preview items as thumbnails (i'm looking at icons) | 18:07 |
| mnemo | davi2: does it work to boot from a live cd? | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mnemo watch for the excludes.... make sure you exclude the name of your backup to avoid a loop situation | 18:07 |
| davi2 | yes im chating with the live cd | 18:07 |
| mDemocritus | mnemo: you might also want to try out rsync... it's not as good for full system backups, but it still works... and it does differential/archive backups, so you don't need to tar up the entire filesystem all the time | 18:07 |
| mDemocritus | !rsync | 18:07 |

| musikgoat1 | mDemocritus: yeah really | 18:08 |
| musikgoat1 | ;-) | 18:08 |
| mDemocritus | mnemo: rsync is like cp on a bunch of steroids | 18:08 |
| mDemocritus | mnemo: it does remote too :D | 18:08 |
| fsckd | <mDemocritus> lol | 18:08 |
| gnychis | MightyTweek: what can i do after that to probe more? I'm not sure of the actual chip name ... I see: ChipsBnk, Sierra Wireless, Fingerprint Reader, and Broadcom Corp | 18:08 |

| shahriar086 | Hello everyone | 18:09 |
| shahriar086 | :) | 18:09 |
| Alokito | hi :) | 18:09 |
| enterneo | nickrud: did not work | 18:10 |
| davi2 | i formated my disk and just reinstaled ubuntu but with grub install error | 18:10 |
| AL-G78 | hello guys another question i'm afraid how can i edit a .conf file | 18:10 |
| m-c | Q: how do I force the system to get rid of a device it is using - trying to reformat a partition, but gparted keeps saying it is in use | 18:10 |
| marcio | hello shahriar | 18:10 |
| systat | m-c: you can't | 18:10 |
| nickrud | enterneo hm. Could be you deleted something that hasn't been reinstalled; have you tried the metacity --replace ? | 18:10 |
| Vecnah | excuse my stupid question , I ll try to fix it myself | 18:10 |
| systat | marcio: hy marcio | 18:10 |
| davi2 | Couldn't find package pastebinit | 18:10 |
| fsckd | <davi2> ok what was the error | 18:10 |
| ruthmann | anyone familiar with openchrome? | 18:10 |
| enterneo | nickrud: yes, metacity --replace works | 18:11 |
| MightyTweek | gnychis: what are you wanting to find out specifically? | 18:11 |
| mnemo | davi2: grub error 17 usually means that grub can't mount some partition... for instance if you have ubuntu on the 3th partition on the first disk then grub will point to (hd0,2) .... if you clear all partitions and install ubuntu into the first partition you must make sure that grub points to (hd0,0) instead | 18:11 |
| marcio | ok systat | 18:11 |
| ruthmann | i cant get my video driver to work and its driving me up the wall | 18:11 |
| dryrot | What is best Commodore 64 emulator ? | 18:11 |
| gnychis | MightyTweek: a device name, such as /dev/X, that my internal GPS device on my x300 is mapped to | 18:11 |
| marcio | ferronica | 18:11 |
| nickrud | enterneo so it's a compiz issue. Try running sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop, that should force all the packages in a stardard install to be reinstalled | 18:11 |
| m-c | systat: really? I have to reboot? well, thanks for your help, although I am a bit skeptical | 18:11 |
| shahriar086 | I am not sure why my grub is not configured properly | 18:11 |
| mnemo | davi2: please copy the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "/boot/grub/menu.lst" into http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the URL | 18:11 |
| marcio | no | 18:11 |
| otarid | nickrud: Well, that mutes the speakers, but not I can't hear anything from the speakers even when headphone isn't plugged and/or the headphone switch is checked off in volume control :( | 18:12 |
| shahriar086 | my root is (hd0,2) | 18:12 |
| amnesia | hi everyone | 18:12 |
| q_a_z_steve | hey, who can tell me how to find out which driver I need for this 2wire 802.11g USB wireless adapter? It's not ever even powered off of my USB, so I don't think I can get it from like dmesg | 18:12 |
| shahriar086 | but everytime it configures to root as (hd,3) | 18:12 |
| shahriar086 | any idea? | 18:12 |
| q_a_z_steve | does ndis work with this? | 18:12 |
| davi2 | the problem is that i repartitioned and formated my disk and then installed ubuntu again on first partition but on install, grub could not be installed. so the grub is loading i think is the grub i had before repartitioning | 18:12 |
| m-c | !enter | shahriar086 | 18:12 |
| ubottu | shahriar086: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:12 |
| mDemocritus | q_a_z_steve: 2wire makes wireless adapters? i could have sworn they only made that crappy little gateway/modem/router | 18:12 |
| nickrud | otarid you have to find the right option to put in your alsa-base file; the same chip can use more than one of the options depending on how it's wired to the outputs ;( | 18:13 |
| davi2 | because partitions changed i thing i get error 17 | 18:13 |
| crimsun | otarid: have you run the alsa-info.sh script? | 18:13 |
| shahriar086 | ok thanks | 18:13 |
| mnemo | davi2: these steps will most likely fix your problem --> http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/howto-fixing-grub-after-a-windows-installation-and-fixing-the-grub-menu/ | 18:13 |
| enterneo | nickrud: i pasted the result of the command on private im | 18:13 |
| codecaine | parititions are static unless you change them yourself davi2 | 18:13 |
| nickrud | saw that. do the following: | 18:13 |
| nickrud | !gutsysources | enterneo (works on hardy also) | 18:14 |
| ubottu | enterneo (works on hardy also): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 18:14 |
| fsckd | <davi2> That is the problem | 18:14 |
| mnemo | davi2: the most important part is that you start up the grub command line and run the "setup" command so that it writes the proper "root" back into your boot sector | 18:14 |
| nickrud | enterneo then try the install again | 18:14 |
| otarid | nickrud: I see... that could take a while :P thanks though | 18:14 |
| systat | ALL: Nothing didn't worked on my laptop when I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10, with 8.04 everything works :p | 18:15 |
| nickrud | otarid you should talk to crimsun about sound, he is way above me on this stuff | 18:15 |
| otarid | crimsun: where's that located? | 18:15 |
| davi2 | so how can i install but i get Error 15: File not found when i do find /boot/grub/stage1 | 18:15 |
| MightyTweek | gnychis: sorry, I thought I knew the command to find that out but I can't recall it off-hand | 18:15 |
| q_a_z_steve | what package do I install to get ndis: ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils, ndiswrapper-source, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 18:15 |
| mnemo | davi2: du you have ubuntu installed or do you have just empty partitions? | 18:15 |
| enterneo | nickrud: compiz advanced settings manager was removed, i reinstalled it, then i figure out most of the plugin were disabled, i enabled some, i wonder if a plugin that handles moving windows is disabled? | 18:15 |
| nickrud | enterneo could be, let me refresh my mem | 18:16 |
| mDemocritus | q_a_z_steve: what's the model number for that 2wire device? | 18:16 |
| crimsun | otarid: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh | 18:16 |
| crimsun | otarid: you need to run it using bash | 18:16 |

| Drk_Guy | 2 disks, 1 SATA> nd 1 IDE | 18:37 |

| pen | Starnestommy, or any CSS sites i think | 18:37 |

| mnemo | davi2: okay now im just totally guessing here but maybe "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" will install it :> | 18:37 |

| pablo | Mecha25: that`s the problem, i right click and nothing happens and my mouse is working ok | 19:17 |
| rysiek|pl | noob-africa: see the key that has an "8" on it, just above "U" and "I" on your keyboard? | 19:17 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: ok. should i choose to install ubuntu or only run as "live"? | 19:17 |
| JJNova | So Ubuntu wont work with kernels -16 or -17 on my machine. | 19:17 |
| Mecha25 | pablo: are you using a fresh install? what kind of computer do you have? | 19:17 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: what option to choose? | 19:17 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: run as live in memory | 19:17 |
| enterneo | on hardy heron, i have enabled samba, however i cannot see vista shares, i do see the vista computer on my workgroup though on nautilus | 19:18 |
| Mecha25 | by the way, anyone know why the crap the -17 kernel was only around for a few weeks? | 19:18 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: then you can use gparted on your hdd | 19:18 |
| pablo | Mecha25: i have ubuntu 8.04 and i have compiz working and screenlets installed | 19:18 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: so it's the first option. | 19:18 |
| Mecha25 | pablo: there's your problem right ther | 19:18 |
| === init is now known as iptables | ||
| IshinoSan | I have the same problem as enterneo | 19:18 |
| bubu_ | How do you run GParted from the live cd? | 19:18 |
| pablo | Mecha25: cool, what???? | 19:18 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: just by typing gparted it terminal? | 19:18 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, I don't know, but both -16 and -17 cause gnome to freeze up (on my machine) | 19:18 |
| Mecha25 | pablo: some screenlet is blocking you selecting your desktop. try removing all the screenlets | 19:18 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, but -14 works great :/ | 19:18 |
| musikgoat1 | IshinoSan: enterneo: do you have vista SP1? | 19:18 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: they did on mine, but so does -18 | 19:18 |
| enterneo | musikgoat1: yes | 19:19 |
| Mecha25 | mecha25: personally, I think it's my ATI card | 19:19 |
| Cheesypieces | guys, how do i create a shortcut on my desktop? | 19:19 |
| JJNova | Too bad I did a re-install of Hardy, and now only have -16 and -17. Rendering my ubuntu partition useless | 19:19 |
| Mecha25 | crap | 19:19 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: gksudo gparted | 19:19 |
| musikgoat1 | enterneo: sorry then | 19:19 |
| noob-africa | *bold* | 19:19 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: personally, I think it's my ati card | 19:19 |
| musikgoat1 | enterneo: i just knew that was a problem | 19:19 |
| noob-africa | rysiek|pl: ooooh, thank u... lol | 19:19 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, I haven't updated to -18, can't get Ubuntu to stay running long enough to update ;) | 19:19 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: and i need to create 2 more partitions, right (ext3+swap) | 19:19 |
| rysiek|pl | noob-africa: no problem. you get an "_" with Shift+- | 19:19 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: that sucks man, have you tried compiling 2.26.25? | 19:20 |
| rysiek|pl | noob-africa: so you can _underline_ ;) | 19:20 |
| crimsun | JJNova: there's -19.33, too. | 19:20 |
| pablo | Mecha25: nothin, i removed all and restart all and nothing | 19:20 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: what is the other distro you are installing... you should be able to use the same swap partition for either distro | 19:20 |
| Mecha25 | pablo: when was the last time it was working? | 19:20 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, I run Ubuntu because I don | 19:20 |
| JJNova | ''t compile ;) | 19:20 |
| ghostknife | This sucks. How can I prevent certain programs from loading at the start of my session? | 19:20 |
| omn1 | hey folks, trying to get wireless networking going... got the ndiswrapper drivers installed and I'm connected to the network without problem | 19:20 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: debian. i want the netinstall.iso (160 mb) | 19:20 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: ditto, but sounds like "run" is the wrong term at this point if you can't get it stable long enough for an update :D | 19:20 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, I am using an nVidia card and still have the freezing issue. | 19:21 |
| omn1 | the problem is this: when I restart, it automatically tries to connect to different wireless networks | 19:21 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: you shouldn't need another swap then | 19:21 |
| omn1 | is there a way to set it so it connects to my network by default? | 19:21 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: does the screen blank? or just freeze with an image? | 19:21 |
| nickolaus_ | Where M$ uses NTFS as a filesystem what system does Ubuntu use? | 19:21 |
| musikgoat1 | ghostknife: Preferences -> Sessions | 19:21 |

| UBUNTUJAY123 | hi all sup | 19:21 |
| rayray | grub help plz | 19:21 |
| rayray | after installing 7.04 (multiboot) and installing grub on the root partition, a reboot gets me a black screen .. another reboot gets "error loading operating system" and grub folder is deleted from /boot [macbook] | 19:21 |
| enterneo | on hardy heron, i have enabled samba, however i cannot see vista shares, i do see the vista computer on my workgroup though on nautilus | 19:21 |
| omn1 | I've tried the Manual Configuration but when it's set as a manual configuration there's no connectivity (even though it resolves an IP address) | 19:21 |
| JJNova | Mecha25,Whatever is on the screen stays there. THe mouse pointer will move, but nothing will launch, or links can't be clicked, or buttons, or anything else | 19:21 |
| Kyle__ | nickolaus_: ubuntu uses ntf$ ;) | 19:21 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: great. after i finish the gparted i should start my ubuntu without the live cd, right? | 19:21 |
| omn1 | using 8.04 | 19:21 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: yeah, I've had that, are you using compiz? | 19:22 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: and mount the iso into the new partition? | 19:22 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, Nope. I am using a 'typical' install of Hardy | 19:22 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: system specs? | 19:22 |
| enterneo | nickrud: are you there? | 19:22 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: yes, you will resize the ext3 partition, create the new partition, and then follow debian's instructions | 19:22 |
| JJNova | Pentium D, 2 Gig Ram, IDE HDD's | 19:22 |
| musikgoat1 | owen1: i'm not familiar with their netinstaller so if thats what they say, go for it | 19:23 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: RAID? | 19:23 |
| JJNova | No | 19:23 |
| nickrud | enterneo sorta | 19:23 |
| owen1 | musikgoat1: thanks a lot! see u soo from debian! | 19:23 |
| JJNova | No RAID, just multiple hard drifves | 19:23 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: hm... custom desktop, or what laptop brand? | 19:23 |
| ghostknife | musikgoat1: that doesn't work | 19:23 |
| enterneo | nickrud: on hardy heron, i have enabled samba, however i cannot see vista shares, i do see the vista computer on my workgroup though on nautilus | 19:23 |
| ghostknife | musikgoat1: or I'm doing it wrong | 19:23 |

| noob-africa | musikgoat1: i did that, several times... | 19:26 |
| musikgoat1 | oh | 19:26 |

| jvargas | omn1: excellent ! | 19:26 |

| rayray | lol | 19:27 |
| Mecha25 | jjnova: hm... live CD for hardy runs the -16 kernel, if it works, I don't think that's your issue. Try reinstalling again, -18 is out, you can update to that, it might help a bit. plus, | 19:27 |

| omn1 | well I'm set to roaming right now and it automatically connects to my neighbor's network | 19:27 |
| omn1 | rayray: I'd like to connect to my own network by default | 19:28 |
| Mecha25 | the only thing different between the live CD and the real install is that the real install uses the HD.. have you tried fsking it? | 19:28 |
| Mecha25 | *fscking | 19:28 |
| Kyle__ | omn1: i dont think you want roaming then | 19:28 |
| JJNova | Mecha25, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know -18 had been released already | 19:28 |
| Mecha25 | i'm running it right now, seems stable | 19:28 |
| Kyle__ | 2.6.20-12-generic | 19:29 |
| * Kyle__ whistles nonchalantly | 19:29 | |
| radius_ | im runnin -18 Mecha25....does well. | 19:29 |
| rayray | omn1 . .. yea .. I don't see a way to have a preferred network | 19:30 |
| Kyle__ | so how does 2.6.20-12 compare with what you guys are running? | 19:30 |
| rayray | umn1 check and uncheck roam I guess | 19:30 |
| Mecha25 | yeah, ubuntu's really stable now, except for the occasional "black screen of death"... out of nowhere, everything goes blank, all buttons stop working, the only thing you can do is open and close the CD drive, or hard-reboot | 19:30 |
| rayray | anybody give a hand with multiboot grub nonsense? | 19:30 |
| radius_ | Mecha25: i havent had that prob yet...:) | 19:30 |
| omn1 | Yeah I've poked all through the manual configuration and that seems like what I'm after, but if it's set to a manual configuration I get no connectivity (even though it's set to use the exact same connection info as when I added it in roaming mode) | 19:30 |
| JJNova | Mecha25,Well, at least you know it's jacked with the screen goes black, instead of the mouse still be responsive and nothing else | 19:31 |
| omn1 | so I suppose the crux of my issue is the fact that manual wireless configuration doesn't seem to work, even though I can connect fine in roaming mode | 19:31 |

| Lapinux | rayray: its odd that it passes simulation but not a normal burn, i did notice when it simulates it doesnt do the "optimum power calibration" that the normal burn does | 19:50 |

| radius_ | WarPriest: no | 20:05 |
| emosamurai | rayray: Okay. And when do you think it'll be fixed? | 20:05 |

| SAGA | amarok says "Xine was unable to load audio drivers" | 20:06 |

| icewaterman | theRealBallchalk: i tried it and gave up due to lack of hardware support | 20:06 |
| radius_ | WarPriest: transfer to external | 20:06 |
| Infinito_ | WarPriest, yes but if the filesystem is ext3 windows won't be able to recognize it.. | 20:07 |
| icewaterman | WarPriest: what filesystem? | 20:07 |
| ferronica | rayray: help | 20:07 |
| rayray | ferronica: you said its because of updates .. just don't use the updated version .. boot from pre-update version in grub | 20:07 |
| WarPriest | icewaterman, how do i check? | 20:07 |
| icewaterman | is it mounted? | 20:07 |
| WarPriest | yeah | 20:07 |
| WarPriest | it is | 20:07 |
| ferronica | rayray: u mean kernel 16 | 20:07 |
| icewaterman | WarPriest: open a console and type mount | 20:07 |

| skyhawk | what filesystem is best for a 3GB drive? | 20:08 |
| icewaterman | WarPriest: then look for the line representing your second drive | 20:08 |
| rayray | ferronica :: I guess .. one higher on the list .. (err two higher) | 20:08 |
| WarPriest | /dev/sdb1 on /media/Music_movies type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) | 20:08 |
| ferronica | rayray: ya there are total three | 20:08 |
| funkyHat | skyhawk: depends on what you want to do with it - if you're ever going to want to plug it in to a windows machine then use fat32 | 20:08 |
| SAGA | hmm | 20:08 |
| funkyHat | skyhawk: otherwise ext3 is probably a safe bet | 20:08 |
| icewaterman | WarPriest: could be ntfs. | 20:09 |
| rayray | ferronica :: I remember everyonther being resue or something .. anyway .. one boot option up | 20:09 |
| ferronica | rayray: i tried with all same problem | 20:09 |
| rayray | ferronica .. weird | 20:09 |

| icewaterman | abhinay: because for >4gb you would get a speed increase on 64bit | 20:27 |
| anteaya | m65: try to ping Jack_Sparrow maybe about the spam? | 20:28 |
| abhinay | icewaterman, so installing 64 bit version of Ubuntu in Core2Duo with less than 4 GB RAM is a bad idea ? | 20:28 |
| kahrytan | i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng. | 20:28 |
| kahrytan | X will not start with any of them. Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on. | 20:28 |
| kahrytan | There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any error. | 20:28 |
| Kyle__ | why? | 20:28 |
| icewaterman | abhinay: most likely yes. | 20:28 |
| bluefoxx | m65, you get PMed by some random person too? | 20:28 |
| m65 | yep | 20:29 |
| m65 | senora | 20:29 |
| bluefoxx | m65, yea, same here | 20:29 |
| Kyle__ | abhinay: the only reason it'd be bad is that theres still problems with running 64bit | 20:29 |
| anteaya | does ubuntu come with an md5sum check installed. I thought it did but => md5 downloaded_app returned an error. | 20:29 |
| icewaterman | abhinay: there is no gain but lots of pain with amd64 if you have <4GB | 20:29 |

| musikgoat | Kot1: you can try going to a terminal (alt-f1) and type the following commands (this will end your graphical desktop, so save any work) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then on the next line type sudo nvidia-xconfig after that type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start which will restart graphics... if the middle command fails, type the last and it should get you back here | 20:30 |

| damg | Fingerling_, then it is being detected. try to do manually with the commands above. If you have a single hard drive in your machine, then it will be probably under /dev/sdb*, otherwise /dev/sdc* etc. | 20:44 |
| ompaul | broonsparrow, there is a thing called dosfsck you could try that against your fat partition | 20:45 |

| bluefoxx | broonsparrow, its OK...i dont make much sense lately :\ too mmany tasks at once to make sense >< | 21:00 |
| Flannel | tj83: There is a server edition, yes | 21:00 |
| ompaul | woops | 21:00 |
| tj83 | woah. | 21:00 |
| musikgoat | tj83: xubuntu is a derivative of ubuntu with a different graphical manager.. so ubuntu server would not have an equivalent. | 21:00 |
| tj83 | one says yes and one says no | 21:00 |
| inkashup | where can i get linux for my windows? | 21:00 |
| Bodsda | !wubi | inkashup | 21:01 |
| ubottu | inkashup: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 21:01 |
| emmet | inkahup elaborate plz | 21:01 |
| musikgoat | Flannel: server xubuntu ? | 21:01 |
| inkashup | thnx, that'll work! | 21:01 |
| emmet | inkashup elaborate plz | 21:01 |
| Bodsda | musikgoat, server edition with the xubuntu desktop i would imagine | 21:01 |
| m_newton | !gimp | 21:01 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 21:01 |
| inkashup | just wanted it for windows | 21:01 |
| Flannel | musikgoat: no, "server". Xubuntu doesn't have a server edition, just like Kubuntu and Ubuntu (the flavor) doesnt. | 21:01 |
| tj83 | Maybe this helps... I run Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop its like 6mo old... but I have an old HP pavillion (450mhz 256mbram 32mb nvidia card) that i want to use for printserver from my 2 laptops, and data storage | 21:01 |
| Flannel | tj83: Suggest using the alternate CD to install a command line version, then installing the servers on that. | 21:02 |
| inkashup | ginp works for windows and mac too, and it has a great... everything! | 21:02 |
| musikgoat | tj83: ubuntu server would work | 21:02 |
| Flannel | tj83: You probably won't want to use the server kernel, and I don't believe the server CD has either of those as preconfigured anyway | 21:02 |
| Ward1983_ | my comp allways crashes and its happening right now | 21:03 |
| Ward1983_ | what can i do to check what causes this? | 21:03 |
| Bodsda | CLARIFICATION: There is two types of *buntu. Server and Desktop. Upon which installed is the gnome = Ubuntu, KDE = Kubuntu, XFCE = xubuntu and so on | 21:03 |
| Ward1983_ | it starts with the sound usually | 21:03 |
| emmet | you can run older versions of photoshop under wine too | 21:03 |
| damg | Ward1983_, what do you mean? when you open up a window and see only window decorations? | 21:04 |
| ompaul | !bootoptions | Ward1983_ --- read this page and look at noapic and noapci first | 21:04 |
| Ward1983_ | damaltor, correct | 21:04 |

| Ward1983_ | ompaul, thats not gonna e the problem AT F#$ING ALL | 21:04 |

| damg | :) | 21:05 |
| Ward1983_ | damg, then you know how annoying and frustrating it is | 21:05 |
| squid0 | hi. I compiled a package from source with checkinstall, but I see a message towards the end saying: "Building file list... FAILED!". The created .deb is also listed as having no files. What could be the source of the problem? | 21:05 |
| Ward1983_ | my system is NOT RELIABLE anymore | 21:05 |
| emmet | Ward1983_ that was meannn | 21:05 |
| Ward1983_ | because i chose ubuntu | 21:05 |
| Ward1983_ | thats why | 21:05 |
| ompaul | Ward1983_, you got yourself a new kernel then and then things changed? so why not try it | 21:05 |
| Ward1983_ | and NOBODY can help me | 21:05 |
| tj83 | flannel... I may also do some light internet browsing and photo viewing... so command line isnt what i really want.. want it light tho since the specs are so low | 21:05 |
| Ward1983_ | ompaul, it happens with all kernels | 21:06 |
| emmet | Ward1983_ what is the problem? | 21:06 |
| ompaul | Ward1983_, ehh so did you try this anyway? | 21:06 |
| Bodsda | Ward1983_, help us help you -- help yourself ..explain the problem the possible cause what you have done what you have tried. | 21:06 |
| Ward1983_ | emmet, that myt system randomly crashes, its not reliable anymore if i need for instance remote desktop | 21:06 |
| Flannel | tj83: You can install a super lightweight window manager on it (fluxbox, icewm, whatever) | 21:06 |
| damg | well, I do not know. It breaks with pulseaudio or something like that. after that the soundcard stays blocked and opening a window shows only window decorations with hung up window | 21:06 |
| damg | that's what Ward1983_ also experiences | 21:06 |
| Ward1983_ | Bodsda, well this is not the first time im here | 21:06 |
| emmet | Ward1983_ well what have you changed? | 21:07 |
| Bodsda | Ward1983_, thats no reason to changge your behaviour | 21:07 |
| tj83 | its going to sound crazy... but i actualy "used" that machine untill 6mo ago LOL | 21:07 |
| Ward1983_ | emmet, nothing at all, nobody helped me so far... | 21:07 |
| damg | that's stock install | 21:07 |
| Ward1983_ | Bodsda, it is, as soon as i got time im KICKING ubuntu out | 21:07 |
| damg | I fix it by doing init 1 and back, but that's ugly | 21:07 |
| tj83 | whats with the roller coaster ride of nicks? | 21:07 |

| Ward1983_ | emmet, what could have caused it? | 21:08 |
| Bodsda | Ward1983_, i doesnt matter if youve been in here all week with the same proble, you still have to be polite and adhear to the !coc | 21:08 |

| TheHodge | afternoon all, I've just installed ubuntu server for a home web server, how can I share folders / files via samba (with command line) | 21:10 |
| Ward1983_ | Bodsda, peoeple that reply with something that doesnt make any sense at all and then act like if they know what they talk about | 21:10 |
| bringtowel | CarlosR, just go to Applications -> Add / Remove, or alternatively System -> Admin -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for virtualbox and uncheck it :) | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | !samba | TheHodge | 21:10 |
| ubottu | TheHodge: 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. | 21:10 |
| Ward1983_ | Bodsda, (thats only meant on one person offcourse) | 21:10 |
| damg | hmm, I experience it on a toshiba m50 laptop. It is a Pentium M 1,6, 1024Gigs RAM, an Intel AC'97 and a SCSI drive. any similar hardware? | 21:10 |
| emmet | ward1983_ an operating system is a complicated piece of software and citing a problem like "instability" without being able to diagnose it or even elaborate certainly doesnt help us help you | 21:10 |
| Bodsda | Ward1983_, the people here are volunteers. If the give you any help whatsoever you should be gratefull. We dont have to do this | 21:10 |
| Kot1 | musikgoat: hey i got a problem | 21:10 |
| jamesmcm2 | hey | 21:11 |
| CarlosR | i remove all the packages of virtualbox but on the start of ubuntu says: modprobe . Modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why. ... | 21:11 |
| Ward1983_ | emmet, then for the love of god, tell me how i can narrow it down??? | 21:11 |
| jamesmcm2 | so i switched to ubuntu today | 21:11 |
| Ward1983_ | Bodsda, you dont wanna feed the people i've helped :@ | 21:11 |
| musikgoat | Kot1: whats up? | 21:11 |
| damg | you should stop flaming around and try to find out the cause of the problem. it's the second person I met with the problem and it is really ugly. no other distribution (including debian) doesn't have that | 21:11 |
| tj83 | good for you jamesmcm2 and i mean it not sarcasm | 21:11 |
| prodigy | i screwed up! i shift deleted documents folder, i need it back! is there a way??? | 21:11 |

| Ward1983_ | Bodsda, i meant i helped a lot of people... | 21:11 |
| Bodsda | jamesmcm2, have you tried xchat? | 21:12 |
| tj83 | jamesmcm3 use xchat sudo apt-get install xchat | 21:12 |

| bringtowel | lol | 21:12 |

| emmet | RochJer whattaya wanna know | 21:26 |
| RochJer | emmet - Just wondering - does using the 127.0.0.1 without tor benefits anything ? | 21:26 |
| musikgoat | RochJer that is your localhost | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | theFATMAN: how did you reset it? | 21:26 |
| RochJer | So to actually hide the ip address is to use tor/privoxy | 21:27 |
| musikgoat | RochJer: talking to that IP is talking to your own pc | 21:27 |
| un2him | i need a recommendation for a good remote backup solution. Using Simple Backup, preferably | 21:27 |
| ivan_ | Someone can help me with my problem | 21:27 |
| emmet | RochJer what musikgoat said | 21:28 |
| emmet | ivan_ what up | 21:28 |
| lao_ | Can anyone help me with some ati graphics issues? | 21:28 |
| Jonas[] | hello all | 21:28 |
| musikgoat | RochJer: tor/privoxy is useful for anonymity, so yes... its not a security mechanism, just to hide where you came from | 21:28 |
| RochJer | Okay. I am trying to get it set up but seem it is not successful | 21:28 |
| FuRom | Can someone recommend a good video editing program for ubuntu? I need something that can do as much as Adobe Premiere Pro. | 21:29 |
| RochJer | I did read in forums but seems it's not getting me anywhere | 21:29 |
| ivan_ | emmet_ I do not have sound in firefox | 21:29 |
| cheshirekow | Once again, having trouble trying to compile a simple USB driver. Anyone? | 21:29 |
| Jonas[] | hello, i have some problems with hardy heron an my tablet PC (thinkpad X41), is anyone can help me? | 21:29 |
| damg | theFATMAN, if you have no root access to the machine anymore, do the gentoo way: boot up from the ubuntu CD, mount the partition where ubuntu is installed to via sudo mount /dev/sd** /mnt/ubuntu , then sudo chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/sh . You will change root to your installation and may run passwd to change root/user password with it. After rebooting the password should be the one you selected. | 21:29 |
| musikgoat | RochJer: i haven't set it up in a long time, you should list the link for the instructions you are using, and explain where the problem is | 21:29 |
| BCM43 | cheshirekow: trouble compliling or with the usb driver? | 21:29 |
| cheshirekow | compiling | 21:30 |
| emmet | FuRom you need ubuntu studio http://ubuntustudio.org/ | 21:30 |
| lao_ | cheesh, do you have the nesacary headers for compiling installed? | 21:30 |
| noxix | so when a java applet just doesnt want to work on a website. what can I do in ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| FruitPastel | Right | 21:30 |
| FruitPastel | I dont know how many of you know about this but | 21:30 |
| cheshirekow | I think so, I have the linux-headers package | 21:30 |
| kahrytan | i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng.X will not start with any of them. Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on.There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any erro | 21:30 |
| emmet | ivan_ i had that problem is it only when you play flash media in firefox, like youtube? | 21:30 |

| Scunizi | jamesmcm: you need at minimum 2 partitions.. / and /swap.. /swap can be 512megs and the rest / | 21:49 |
| microwaver | jamesmcm, so you want to resize it? | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | jamesmcm: during instalation you can do the partitioning of the disk | 21:49 |
| Drk_Guy | cara: Re-install it | 21:49 |
| kahrytan | SeaPhor, Those are usplash and vebose. They are disabled for recovery mode. it doesnt work in that either. | 21:49 |

| ac3 | Hi, i´ve set up passwordless ssh auth for a user, but with a passphrase. Gnome keyring unlocks this passphrase upon login.

| jamesmcm | un2him, okay - i don't think there's anything too vital but i will doublecheck | 21:51 |
| Scunizi | nano. find it in the menu and right mouse click.. it will have an option to place it on the panel | 21:52 |
| orgthingy | erUSUL: but u need to have internet to do that! The whole point of downloading gnome-ppp is to get internet working :P | 21:52 |
| un2him | jamesmcm: good luck. i have to go, but if you need help, i would search the ubuntu forums online | 21:52 |
| SeaPhor | kahrytan, no, closest i personally have is a 7300, but have worked in here with ppl that had 7200 | 21:52 |

| erUSUL | orgthingy: go to packages.ubuntu.com and dwonload the precompiled package from there. Compiling from source ytar.gz is not adviced | 21:53 |
| radius_ | ??? | 21:53 |
| Scunizi | nano this should be the command to start it with a shortcut.. /usr/games/alien-arena --quiet | 21:53 |

| filthpig | hi, I have an odd problem. I installed Google Earth on my moms laptop ealrlier today and it worked right away. However, after I tried to enable desktop effects (without luck, mind you) I cannot get the globe to show up anymore! The program starts without problem, but the globe does not show up. The computer is approx 3 yrs old with an ATi gfx card. I dunno which though, but it appearently uses the open ATi driver | 22:01 |
| microwaver | kahrytan, not unormal booting times | 22:01 |

| HopsNBarley | can i specifiy a repo on a command line with either aptitude, apt-get, etc? | 22:01 |

| pen | damg, why no hardware acceleration suppoer? | 22:27 |
| damg | pen, I've got an x600 here (ati driver) | 22:27 |
| JacksDepression | soundray: Corrupt drive? | 22:27 |
| hantho | rallon: Maybe the shell doesn't know yet. You should start a fresh terminal so it can read the groups anew | 22:27 |
| damg | pen, flash has to hardware accelleration at all afaik. it just renders everything in software as far as I know. | 22:28 |
| tj83_ | can a person be connected to more than one server say OFTC as well as freenode with xchat? | 22:28 |
| sangguin1 | hi. is there a way to remotely access my vista from my ubuntu? | 22:28 |
| pen | damg, daxx those flash folks | 22:28 |

| mnemo | i've installed a not-yet published bugfix package in order to verify a fix... now I wonder, how can I revert back to the published distro package? I tried "sudo apt-get install --reinstall package" but then it just sasys "Package can't be downloaded" ?? | 22:28 |
| rallon | hantho: idem | 22:29 |
| rajalot | nice going! trying out 8.04 and vim looks wrong. | 22:29 |
| loloto1 | I just installed ubuntu and am trying to mount/use a hard drive that has been formatted with ntfs. I read the 'HOWTO: ntfs with read/write...' thread on the ubuntu forums, but I feel like I'm missing a final step. How do I 'use' the drive I'm looking for? I can locate it in /dev/disk/ | 22:29 |
| hantho | rallon: idem? I don't understand? | 22:29 |
| rajalot | oh, it is wrong. | 22:29 |
| Daemoen | hey guys, what is the gcc3 package available for ubuntu 7? | 22:30 |
| rallon | hantho: same thing than before | 22:30 |
| rallon | hantho: it's latin ;P | 22:30 |
| hantho | Does id still not show you as member of the group (in the freshly started terminal)? | 22:30 |
| * Daemoen hopes that ubuntu has a gcc3 compat package anyway | 22:31 | |
| t4num0y | Can anybody tell me where can i found a channel for mint ?? | 22:31 |
| Daemoen | nvm, found it | 22:31 |
| Jalathan | !mint | 22:31 |
| ubottu | The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 22:31 |
| Jalathan | !mintsupport | 22:32 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivitve of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 22:32 |
| rajalot | vim for ubuntu is not compiled with options multi_lang and gettext which makes whole editor useless. nice going! | 22:32 |

| xenos | anyone know how i can install re-install ubuntu from within ubuntu; I only have a usb drive (900) with the iso already in there. But NO cd/cdrw available. Any ideas? | 22:35 |

| xenos | CaBlGuY: I don't have to extract the iso? | 22:36 |
| kahrytan | soundray, Screen just went blank. | 22:36 |
| CaBlGuY | xenos: ah, in that case, you need to burn the iso to a CD and boot form the CD then.. | 22:37 |

I don't know why it wont let you in the group if you really did start a fresh terminal. (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-June/080772.html) Maybe try rebooting and see if etc/groups get respected then | 22:37 |
| kahrytan | ActionParsnip, :-P | 22:38 |
| danny_ | Does anyone in here use WINE? | 22:38 |
| JubuntuJ | Total noob. Got it installed (dual boot), but need some help getting the networking working. Trying to command-line config, but getting permission denied. | 22:38 |

| danny_ | Thanks | 22:38 |
| loloto1 | I've just installed Ubuntu and I'm trying to mount/use an NTFS disk. I followed the HOWTO in the forum and done the configuration, but cannot figure out how to mount or find the disk. | 22:38 |
| hiptobecubic | JubuntuJ, make sure you use sudo | 22:38 |
| soundray | kahrytan: is your machine hard frozen at that point, or can you log in remotely? | 22:38 |
| CaBlGuY | JubuntuJ: learn the SUDO command my friend.. ;) | 22:38 |
| hiptobecubic | !sudo | JubuntuJ | 22:39 |
| ubottu | JubuntuJ: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 22:39 |
| kahrytan | soundray, I cant do remotely. But I know I cant use ctrl-alt-f1. | 22:39 |
| soundray | kahrytan: how do you reboot, then? | 22:39 |

| kahrytan | soundray, technically, it's the reset switch | 22:41 |

Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on.There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any error | 22:42 |

| kahrytan | ActionParsnip, modprobe nvidia before X | 22:48 |
| hantho | rallon: Heh, what about just killing x and logging in again? (I assume you don't mean "I don't know how to reboot since it isn't windows) | 22:48 |
| sensae | I just reinstalled Windows and overwrote GRUB - I tried reinstalling grub to the MBR and now when I boot I can see my old grub items, but none of them will boot | 22:49 |
| SeaPhor | kahrytan, if it will boot all the way to desktop on the live cd, why not cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 22:49 |
| kahrytan | SeaPhor, One uses NV, other uses nvidia | 22:49 |
| ExElNeT | hmm i tried to install nvidia-kernel-new on my new amd64 system... but it freezes while starting x.... any idea? | 22:49 |
| cycom | sensae: what error do you get? | 22:49 |
| filthpig | tj83_, no go. Had to comment Driver and Load to get X to start | 22:49 |

| filthpig | X told me that driver fglrx was not installed, tj83_ | 22:50 |
| billenium | Does anyone know of a screen recorder and a video editor? Sort of like camtasia? | 22:50 |
| SeaPhor | kahrytan, that at least gives you a starting over point | 22:50 |
| tj83_ | filthpig... um... look up the package... | 22:50 |
| filthpig | I tried | 22:50 |
| Jowi | !screencast | billenium | 22:50 |

| kahrytan | SeaPhor, NV is not what I want. | 22:50 |

| tj83_ | filthpig... i mean i am looking for your packages | 22:52 |
| filthpig | ah | 22:52 |
| sensae | Cycom: Not sure. I believe it said "Error 22: Partition not bootable." | 22:52 |
| filthpig | tj83_, I cannot launch root apps now, so I'll just reboot | 22:52 |
| hantho | rallon: Cool then it will probable work from now on. | 22:52 |
| billenium | !video editing | billenium | 22:52 |
| cycom | sensae: ok. what that means is that your menu.lst is likely pointing to the wrong partition | 22:53 |
| cycom | sensae: what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst say for your root? | 22:53 |
| tj83_ | he left... let filthpig know i had to go, and sorry.. and also ask him to check if the proprietary drivers were enabled system-administration-hardware drivers :) thanks | 22:53 |
| sensae | cycom: Let me mount the partition real quick | 22:53 |
| cycom | sensae: no prob. | 22:53 |
| kalila | hi - Sound is disabled after upgrading to ubuntu 8.04. How can I enable it again? searching turned a myriad of solutions, I don't know where to start. Most assume that the sound is on to start with, but my volume is indicating that it is off all the time | 22:54 |
| Jowi | e346, you can use "vsound" it can record anything that comes out | 22:54 |
| noxix | Anyone have any idea why only one certain java applet just WONT work on Ubuntu? | 22:54 |
| sensae | cycom: I think I found the problem. It's pointing to (hd0,3) for some reason. It should be 0,1 | 22:54 |
| cycom | sensae: bingo :) | 22:54 |
| Jowi | e346, for example: vsound -f myrecording.wav -d realplay trsp://yourmusicstationaddress | 22:55 |
| cycom | sensae: what do you think happened? did you alter any partitions when you re-installed windows? | 22:55 |
| polarbear | hey guys anyone feel like helping me with my network card, its onboard intel but its only connecting at 10mbps, my other pc and laptop connect at 100mbps | 22:56 |
| local | i have a .nrg file. how do i use it ? | 22:56 |
| sensae | Cycom: Nope, I just created a new NTFS partition on some blank space, then I booted into my 8.04 live CD and typed "sudo grub", "root (hd0,1)" "setup (hd0)" | 22:56 |
| cycom | polarbear: same network port on the switch/router? | 22:56 |
| Rampage | Hi, I've got proftpd and lighttpd both set up. And I've noticed the speeds to be limited to about 4mb/s. Is there a default limit, and how could i change it? | 22:56 |
| polarbear | local : you would have to find a way to mount it since its like an iso, or maybe burn it | 22:56 |
| Jowi | local, install nero for linux | 22:56 |
| polarbear | cycom: ya | 22:56 |
| kahrytan | soundray is gone? | 22:56 |
| kahrytan | i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng.X will not start with any of them. Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on.There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any error | 22:56 |
| cycom | sensae: huh. wonder why it was pointing to (hd0,3) then... | 22:56 |
| cycom | polarbear: same cable? | 22:57 |
| ProwL | wont k3b handle .nrg's? | 22:57 |
| polarbear | cycom : i cant test another cable im too far, im like 40 feet from the switch | 22:57 |
| sensae | cycom: Dunno. I'm on the same system I'm working on though, so I'll restart and see if it works - thanks for the help | 22:57 |
| polarbear | cycom : its just a simple switch, no wireless or anything | 22:57 |
| cycom | SeaPhor: np, good luck :) | 22:57 |
| cycom | shoot, left :) | 22:58 |
| Jowi | local, can be found here http://www.nero.com/eng/linux3.html | 22:58 |
| filthpig | local, you can convert it into an iso using nrg2iso. You'll get it from the repos | 22:58 |
| cycom | polarbear: can you move the box? If it's a bad cable, you're going to need to change it out anyhow. | 22:58 |
| cycom | polarbear: or try plugging laptop into the long cable. | 22:58 |
| polarbear | cycom : i guess, i figured any cat5e cable wouldnt matter but ill try | 22:58 |
| SeaPhor | cycom, ? | 22:58 |
| Jowi | filthpig, great suggestion :) | 22:58 |
| SeaPhor | cycom, oh, ok | 22:58 |
| cycom | SeaPhor: I was talking to someone else who's nick started with s :) | 22:59 |
| CraZy675 | real simple sh question I want to backup my directories into their own tarballs do I have to use a loop? | 22:59 |
| kahrytan | i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng.X will not start with any of them. Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on.There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any error | 22:59 |
| cycom | polarbear: if the cable is bad, it'll make a big difference. | 22:59 |
| SeaPhor | cycom, yeah i noticed right after i sent, :-) | 22:59 |
| polarbear | cycom, could it be the length, its like 100 feet? | 22:59 |
| cycom | polarbear: Cat5e is rated to 100 METERS. That's 300 feet. you should be good. | 22:59 |
| filthpig | Jowi, it's the only sensible one I think. There are loads of crap2good apps, almost for all kinds of files out there | 22:59 |
| Flannel | !backup | CraZy675 | 23:00 |

| cycom | polarbear: more likely the connectors on the end are bad, or it was crimped wrong, or there's a short/break in the cable somewhere. | 23:00 |

| ubottu | danny_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:00 |
| danny_ | I can't send Private messages in Steam, I think it's a font error. Can somebody help me? | 23:01 |
| cycom | polarbear: you going to plug that laptop in? :) | 23:01 |

| kiber | Fallenou hi | 23:02 |
| SeaPhor | kahrytan, that at least gives you a starting over point, then you can use/enable the restricted drivers, which is what i use and has "Driver"nvidia"" | 23:02 |
| polarbear | cycom, it is plugged in already, im transferring some files | 23:02 |
| icecubex132Q8_ | anybody know how to test serial port? | 23:02 |

| filthpig | danny_, try #winehq ;) | 23:02 |
| cycom | polarbear: same speed, or... | 23:02 |
| polarbear | cycom, but its going soooooooo slow so i checked the network speed and it said 10 | 23:02 |
| polarbear | cycom, the laptop says 100mbps | 23:02 |
| Fallenou | kiber hi | 23:03 |
| cycom | but the desktop goes full speed... | 23:03 |
| kiber | lol | 23:03 |
| cycom | er... sorry | 23:03 |
| polarbear | cycom, 1.2gb says 18 minutes | 23:03 |
| cycom | but the desktop goes at 10mbit | 23:03 |
| * kiber slaps cycom around a bit with a large trout | 23:03 | |
| polarbear | cycom, ya 10 | 23:03 |
| kahrytan | SeaPhor, I CANT get nvidia drivers to work. It's about not booting period. it's about getting nvidia driver to work | 23:03 |
| sensae | cycom: Well now I'm booted into my drive, but my X server has magically stopped working | 23:03 |
| Jowi | danny_, I don't use steam myself, but according to this page ( http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO%20Steam ) the tahoma.ttf font needs to be installed. | 23:03 |
| cycom | sensae: hehe. lucky you! | 23:03 |
| danny_ | Thank you very much Jowi | 23:03 |
| cycom | polarbear: hrm... check the nic as well. maybe some pins bent. | 23:04 |
| filthpig | hm, where did tj83 go? :s | 23:04 |
| sensae | cycom: Yeah. My monitor goes into standby on VT7 | 23:04 |
| cycom | polarbear: I know it sounds idiotic, but most problems are at the hardware layer, and they're easiest to find. | 23:04 |
| cycom | sensae: check to see if your video card has jumped PCI ids or something, or if it has the right pci id in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:04 |
| polarbear | cycom, ya im going to check when the transfer finishes cause someones in a rush for some pictures to go | 23:04 |
| cycom | polarbear: fair nuff :) | 23:05 |
| SeaPhor | kahrytan, ok, well thats all i have, I hope some-one here can help you get to where you want, amenado is usually pretty good with graphics when he's on. GL | 23:05 |
| nosa-J | i need help making sure my 3d drivers are correctly, configured i am trying to run roller coaster tycoon 3 but it tells me that my 3d drivers are not configured, i know it should run fine because i have ran it fine in windows before on the same comp, also i have roller coaster tycoon 2 installed and it runs fine, any help would be greatly appreciated. | 23:06 |
| Rampage | Hi, I've got proftpd and lighttpd both set up. And I've noticed the speeds to be limited to about 4mb/s. Is there a default limit, and how could i change it? | 23:06 |
| hiptobecubic | SUP WEASELS? My logon resolution is incorrect and the start-up manager doesn't seem to make a difference. Has anyone managed to resolve this before? | 23:06 |
| Pxrbot | can anyone point me to help with Thunderbird hotmail account setup? i have no idea what im doing... | 23:06 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Have you downloaded and installed the webmail extension and hotmail extension? | 23:06 |
| cycom | polarbear: if you have an extray nic laying around, I'd drop that sucka in there and see if it can get 100/full | 23:06 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, "glxinfo | grep direct" in a terminal (without the quotes)should say "yes" | 23:07 |
| nosa-J | ok | 23:07 |
| nosa-J | sec | 23:07 |
| cycom | sensae: how's the video problem coming? | 23:07 |
| rallon | hantho: no, only inside su | 23:07 |
| rallon | hantho: tnx a lot, i go | 23:07 |
| polarbear | cycom, nah :\ it would really help though | 23:07 |
| Pxrbot | rampage: i think i have the Hotmail one, not sure about webmail... | 23:08 |
| nosa-J | jowi it says direct render is inabled it does say yes | 23:08 |
| Rampage | You need the webmail one too I think | 23:08 |
| === bringtowel is now known as bringatowel | ||
| Pxrbot | oook il try and get it now :) | 23:08 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: http://webmail.mozdev.org Download and install webmail too :) | 23:08 |
| === tabris|a1ay is now known as tabris|away | ||
| nosa-J | so Jowi what could couse this error? | 23:08 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: thanks :) | 23:08 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: You're welcome | 23:09 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, so yes, your 3d is working fine. perhaps you need to select "direct 3d" to be used in roller coaster tycoon. Remember, when it comes to Wine, you should never install any directx version if asked. | 23:09 |
| cycom | polarbear: if the network cards are good, you can just throw a regular straight-thru cable between them and then check what speed they're connecting at (100, 10) | 23:09 |
| cycom | that'd be a decent indicator of nic health | 23:09 |
| kahrytan | SeaPhor, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814125071 | 23:10 |
| cycom | polarbear: or you could always hit staples and grab another nic for like $20 | 23:10 |
| l815 | anyone know what torrent client opensuse 11 uses? | 23:10 |
| nosa-J | jowi how can i get to the settings go under wine configure? or should i look for a txt file in the tycoon location?>? | 23:10 |
| l815 | i wanna get it for ubuntu | 23:10 |
| polarbear | cycom, ya thats what ill do, there is actually a place which sells super cheap cabling also | 23:11 |
| nosa-J | jowi i have now way of getting to settings for roller coster | 23:11 |
| polarbear | cycom, really close by | 23:11 |
| riba1 | ahhhh.... | 23:11 |
| riba1 | hi | 23:11 |
| riba1 | lost power | 23:11 |
| cycom | polarbear: grab both, return what you don't need I guess. | 23:11 |
| riba1 | gnome hardy | 23:11 |
| llama_ | I just did an mini.iso install of 8.04, and my resolution is stuck at 800x600; when I look at xorg.conf, however, I don't see the numbers to edit. It just doesn't have those fields. What's the deal? | 23:11 |
| riba1 | panel and menus is gone | 23:11 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, you should set it within the game itself. Wine support Direct 3d natively. I have no experience with Roller Coaster but from other games running under wine that report a similar error. | 23:11 |
| _2 | anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? | 23:11 |
| riba1 | rebooted again and selected safe gnome | 23:11 |
| riba1 | no go | 23:11 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, for more info perhaps #wine-hq can be of help | 23:12 |
| Jowi | !wine | 23:12 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 23:12 |
| cycom | llama_: I think the new Xorg does a lotta buncha autodetecting. What drivers you using? | 23:12 |
| nosa-J | ok ill check ther | 23:12 |
| llama_ | cycom, All defaults, I'm just on some older HP laptop. | 23:12 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, Wine Appdb | 23:12 |
| m_newton | hey any good port scanners in linux | 23:12 |
| kahrytan | i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng.X will not start with any of them. Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on.There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any error | 23:13 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, Wine's Appdb page is quite good | 23:13 |
| _2 | WARNING; i'll repete my question in five minutes if no one answers! | 23:13 |
| cycom | llama_: yeah, but what IS the default, and what kind of video card does the laptop have? | 23:13 |
| nosa-J | thanks Jowi, i really appreciate it, ok ill googlle that | 23:13 |
| polarbear | cycom, thaks for your help, it just finished so im going to go try moving the pc, bbl | 23:13 |
| Jowi | nosa-J, http://appdb.winehq.org | 23:13 |
| soundray | kahrytan: did you get any errors from that modprobe? | 23:13 |
| nosa-J | ty | 23:13 |
| kahrytan | soundray, no | 23:14 |
| cycom | llama_: if the default is VESA, that might explain your lo-res | 23:14 |
| m_newton | never mind | 23:14 |
| m_newton | !nmap | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Factoid nmap not found | 23:14 |
| soundray | _2: please leave about 10, so other people have a chance to log on in the meantime | 23:14 |
| kahrytan | soundray, funny thing is people on newegg says it worksi n linux | 23:14 |
| _2 | soundray :) | 23:14 |
| rinaldi_ | hi all, im stuck trying to get my wg111v2 working with ndiswrapper. I have blacklisted the default drivers and set the module to run at startup but nm applet seems to be caught in a loop where it keeps asking me for a wireless key where I am sure it is right. any ideas? | 23:14 |
| soundray | kahrytan: I know a few people with working 7200s | 23:14 |
| llama_ | cycom, the way I would have been able to tell you that I knew of was looking at xorg, but now all it says is "default screen", "configured monitor", "configured device", etc. Which is really frustrating. If there is some other way to tell, let me know (I'm no expert or anything). | 23:14 |
| kahrytan | soundray, so why not mine | 23:15 |
| soundray | kahrytan: it's hard to say when it crashes without any message. Have you tried it in any other OS? | 23:15 |
| kahrytan | soundray, Vista is coming soon. It should work there better. If it doesnt, then its bad | 23:16 |
| hiptobecubic | Vista is not a particularly good place to be testing hardware for functionality | 23:16 |
| soundray | kahrytan: that's what I was thinking -- it could be a hardware fault | 23:16 |
| riba1 | gnome panel plz... | 23:16 |
| riba1 | will dye soon of loliness.. | 23:17 |
| kahrytan | soundray, sadly, its coming up on it's 1 yr mark | 23:17 |
| riba1 | or something like that | 23:17 |
| ricosecada | Any recommendations on a e-commerce solution running on stable? | 23:17 |
| _2 | riba1 gnome-panel ? | 23:17 |
| riba1 | gone | 23:17 |
| riba1 | after I login | 23:17 |
| cycom | llama_: sorry, got distracted. check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:17 |
| riba1 | startup file plz? | 23:17 |
| kahrytan | soundray, 2 more months left | 23:18 |
| _2 | riba1 gnome-panel ? | 23:18 |
| soundray | kahrytan: presently we don't know whether your whole machine hard locks, or whether it's just the video subsystem. Correct? | 23:18 |
| cycom | llama_: it's long. grep through it for EEs (errors) | 23:18 |
| riba1 | _2: yes | 23:18 |
| _2 | yes | 23:18 |
| kahrytan | soundray, ctrl-alt-sysreq doesnt work btw | 23:18 |
| soundray | kahrytan: did you look it up? | 23:18 |
| cycom | also, go through it with less, and once you get to the bottom, look for stuff like 'vesa' or 'intel' or 'ati' or 'nv' and such | 23:18 |
| kahrytan | soundray, what? | 23:18 |
| soundray | kahrytan: you have to hold down the three keys, then press R E I S U and B in succession | 23:19 |
| riba1 | _2: donnt know why a power failure mess it up | 23:19 |
| kahrytan | soundray, thats impossible to do | 23:19 |
| noxix | anyone know how to make an object transparent when creating a GDM theme? | 23:19 |
| kahrytan | soundray, takes 2 hands for ctrl-alt-sysreq | 23:19 |
| _2 | kahrytan no it's not. | 23:20 |
| riba1 | created another user and still no panel on desktop | 23:20 |
| soundray | kahrytan: no, it isn't. I've done it many times. Takes a bit of practice. Or a weight on the PrintScreen key | 23:20 |
| riba1 | icons are there though | 23:20 |
| riba1 | and right click worx | 23:20 |
| cerix_ | voila | 23:20 |
| riba1 | thankfully | 23:20 |
| riba1 | :) | 23:20 |
| _2 | soundray three keys ? alt+sysrq+[R,E,I,S,B] did i miss one ? | 23:21 |
| Jowi | riba1, is gnome-panel still installed? "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should let you know | 23:21 |
| kahrytan | soundray, you use your middle finger and thumb? | 23:21 |
| soundray | _2: Ctrl | 23:21 |
| _2 | soundray not needed here. | 23:21 |
| ianliu_88 | why ubuntu doesn't upgrade firefox? | 23:21 |
| soundray | _2: it's possible | 23:22 |
| kahrytan | ianliu_88, cuz final isnt released | 23:22 |
| soundray | ianliu_88: because there is no security-relevant change in the rcs | 23:22 |
| MindVirus | Hi, every single time my kernel is updated, nvidia ceases to work. Any suggestions? | 23:22 |
| ianliu_88 | Hmmm, thanks | 23:22 |
| kahrytan | soundray, no. cuz its not final | 23:22 |
| riba1 | ahhhhh | 23:22 |
| magnetron | MindVirus: do you have the linux-image-generic installed? | 23:22 |
| _2 | MindVirus don't update your kernel.... but that's bad advice. | 23:23 |
| kahrytan | soundray, it was posted on brainstorm why it isnt being upgraded | 23:23 |
| MindVirus | magnetron, how do I check? | 23:23 |
| riba1 | gnome-panel A panel is already rubning. | 23:23 |
| magnetron | MindVirus: in synaptic | 23:23 |
| riba1 | how come if i on't see any panel?? | 23:23 |
| llama_ | cycom, I don't use grep often, and can't be sure I'm using it right- I think the only "EE" grep is finding is in the beginning where it says the following: "(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown." | 23:23 |
| soundray | kahrytan: it's in proposed. If the final isn't out by the point release date, the rc will be in the point release | 23:23 |
| kahrytan | soundray, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8808/ | 23:23 |

| riba1 | _2: tx...how do I star the gnome control panel and reset it ? :) | 23:24 |
| rinaldi_ | hi all, im stuck trying to get my wg111v2 working with ndiswrapper. I have done everything I should but nm applet seems to be caught in a loop where it keeps asking me for a wireless key where I am sure it is right. any ideas? | 23:24 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Okay, in the Menu tools- Addons | 23:24 |
| kahrytan | soundray, This card is really making me angry | 23:25 |

| MindVirus | magnetron, now what? | 23:26 |
| llama_ | cycom, did you catch that? | 23:26 |
| _2 | riba1 you might find the lock file by something like; find ~/ -iname lock | 23:27 |
| soundray | kahrytan: I wonder if it's an issue related to the specific kernel/driver combination. Perhaps you can find another distribution that has the NVidia driver on a live CD (perhaps Knoppix does). If that works, you've got a software problem. If it shows the same symptoms, it points in the hardware direction | 23:27 |

| Calamari | can anyone help me? | 23:29 |
| * _2 is sure it's OT | 23:29 | |
| ActionParsnip | \3TATUK: but to understand the answer, you must first understand the question | 23:29 |
| ganjaman | 200mb kernel header | 23:29 |
| ganjaman | thats wierd | 23:29 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Okay thats good, now go into the hotmail extensions preferences | 23:29 |
| ganjaman | i made make menuconfig | 23:29 |
| cycom | llama_: yeah, sorry | 23:29 |
| \3TATUK | meaning of life has nothing to do with it ... it's all about the universe and the ultimate question ^^ | 23:30 |
| cycom | llama_: that means you have no errors | 23:30 |
| Pxrbot | ok im there | 23:30 |
| ganjaman | and just pressed enter until the oldconfig dialog was finished | 23:30 |
| cycom | I would do cat /var/log/Xorg.0.conf | less and look for the driver near the bottom | 23:30 |
| Pici | \3TATUK: Please continue the philosphical questions in #ubuntu-offtopic , #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only. Thanks | 23:30 |
| cycom | it'll say something about intel, or ati, or vesa or whatever. | 23:30 |
| llama_ | cycom, I guess that's right. I don't have any errors, it is running 'successfully' in 800x600. | 23:30 |
| soundray | kahrytan: on the feisty live CD, I think there is a way to download and activate the nvidia driver | 23:30 |
| kahrytan | soundray opensuse? | 23:30 |
| ganjaman | the kernel was working but had no sound | 23:30 |
| ganjaman | because pci was not initialised | 23:30 |
| cycom | llama_: the other thing is, run lspci to determine what brand of video card you have | 23:30 |
| Calamari | can someone help me please? | 23:30 |

| johnnypea | Hello, I am using "Sticky Notes" and when I make some they always hide when I click on the desktop, can I somehow avoid this? | 23:31 |
| Pici | nosa-J: /j #winehq | 23:31 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Sorry will be with you in a minute | 23:31 |
| johnnypea | !Sticky Notes | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Factoid sticky notes not found | 23:32 |
| soundray | kahrytan: well, you definitely have a few options for testing different kernels then | 23:32 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: no worries :) Team America is on | 23:32 |
| nosa-J | ahh cool | 23:32 |
| artista-frustrad | the command line I use is ffmpeg -y -i file.avi -s 320x240 -f ogg -vcodec libtheora -vb 64k -acodec vorbis -ac 2 -vol 300 -ab 16k -r 12 file.ogg -acodec vorbis -ac 2 -vol 300 -ab 16k | 23:32 |
| johnnypea | !Notes | 23:32 |
| hiptobecubic | Johnnypea that's just how the program is. don't click on the desktop | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Factoid notes not found | 23:32 |
| kahrytan | soundray, been using for year | 23:32 |
| cdavis | how do I get sdc1 to show up in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 23:32 |
| artista-frustrad | could anyone help me identify the problem ? | 23:32 |
| Calamari | can someone help me? im having problems with wireless in 8.04 | 23:32 |
| cycom | llama_: lspci should have something about 'VGA compatable controller' or something | 23:32 |
| johnnypea | ehm, there is really no way? | 23:32 |
| llama_ | cycom, I don't understand why this is all necessary. I don't think I need new drivers or anything, I only had to do a little tweaking formerly, no driver changes were necessary. Anyways, I think this is the videocard line from lscpi- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM710 LynxEM | 23:32 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Okay sorry, close the preferences now and go to Edit -> Account settings | 23:33 |
| kahrytan | soundray, im gonna download opensuse | 23:33 |
| _2 | anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? | 23:33 |
| hiptobecubic | johnnypea if you don't click the desktop and instead click whatever program you need then it should be functional enough | 23:33 |
| rinaldi_ | hi, I am using ndiswrapper with my netgear dongle, but I can't get wep to work in nm applet, or at all for that matter. I get stuck in a loop that keeps asking me for the wep key. any ideas? | 23:33 |
| cycom | llama_: well, did you try adjusting the resoltuion inside gnome? | 23:33 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: In there Create a new account and select webmail | 23:33 |
| cdavis | I'm so confused, sdc1 shows up as this " 07D7-0C16 -> ../../sdc1" no other drives have a uuid like that? | 23:33 |
| hiptobecubic | i don't think there is a way to prevent it | 23:33 |
| soundray | kahrytan: so you're saying that previously you've used the NVidia driver with success? | 23:33 |
| cycom | llama_: system, preferences, Screen resolution? | 23:33 |
| kahrytan | soundray, with fx5200 | 23:33 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: ok | 23:34 |
| kahrytan | soundray, but different system | 23:34 |
| Jowi | _2, is the framebuffer enabled in BIOS/CMOS? | 23:34 |
| cycom | llama_: your other option is to just add the modelines yourself | 23:34 |
| Rampage | Then add your details and follow the steps till account creation is done | 23:34 |
| Calamari | how do i connect to an unsecured wireless network in 8.04? the network manager doesnt let me leave the security field blank - it forces me to put wep or wpa | 23:34 |
| _2 | Jowi it's a tosheba you can't switch anything in bios hardly. | 23:34 |
| llama_ | cycom, I am in fluxbox, gnome is a bit bloated for this machine. I'm fine adding the modelines myself, but I don't know how to make them from scratch; I couldn't find that information on google. | 23:34 |
| sploozer | i'm having some major issues with BIND anyone know BIND very well? | 23:34 |
| _2 | Jowi short answer is " i have no clue, but probably can't change it anyway " | 23:35 |
| mich54 | hey guys, i have a problem in hardy, i keep having updates for kernel 2.6.24 , but the system still uses 2.6.22 , if it matters i upgraded from gutsy when hardy was beta ! | 23:35 |
| cycom | llama_: me either... see if you can find any Xorg.confs from people with a similar laptop on a different distro. | 23:35 |
| sploozer | i can't nslookup anything it continues to say connection timed no server could be reached | 23:35 |
| llama_ | cycom, thanks then. | 23:35 |
| sploozer | iptables if off, /etc/resolv.conf is updated | 23:36 |
| Jowi | _2, most toshiba computers uses "ESC" during boot to get into BIOS | 23:36 |
| sploozer | named is running | 23:36 |
| Calamari | how do i connect to an unsecured wireless network in 8.04? the network manager doesnt let me leave the security field blank - it forces me to put wep or wpa | 23:36 |
| Jowi | _2, or F1 | 23:36 |
| _2 | Jowi f2 | 23:36 |
| ghindo | Would it be safe to shrink or delete my swap partition? It's 5.8 GB, and that seems like an awfully large size... | 23:36 |
| _2 | Jowi im in bios now. | 23:36 |
| soundray | kahrytan: yeah, perhaps looking at another distribution's success with your card will give you a clearer picture | 23:37 |
| kahrytan | soundray, and windows test | 23:37 |
| soundray | kahrytan: yes | 23:37 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: when i click on Get Mail 'sending the username did not succeed' basically an error message :S | 23:37 |
| cycom | llama_: np. good luck! | 23:38 |
| _2 | Jowi has in main "lcd display > en|dis/able" in advanced "nothing about display" | 23:38 |
| kahrytan | soundray, nv do video acceleration? | 23:38 |
| soundray | kahrytan: you could also play some music on a virtual console to see if it stops when you get the black screen | 23:38 |
| soundray | kahrytan: only 2D | 23:38 |
| mich54 | guys! anything about hardy not using the 2.6.24 kernel though it's updating it !! | 23:38 |
| Nostahl | hi all im trying to rip music from my cd's and its ripping at about 4x speed why is it going so slow? | 23:38 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Umm, Okay once you have created the account go to Tools -> Addons -> preferences for hotmail | 23:38 |
| sploozer | anyone BIND ???? | 23:38 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Tell me what you see there? | 23:38 |
| soundray | mich54: the problem must be in your /boot/grub/menu.lst -- do you want to put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com for us to see? | 23:39 |
| Pici | sploozer: You may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server | 23:39 |
| ghindo | Nostahl: What program are you using to rip your CDs? | 23:39 |
| Pxrbot | no hotmail accounts found... i think this may be a case of me setting the account up wrong? | 23:39 |
| Nostahl | tryed rhythmbox and audio juicer | 23:39 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: yes looks like it, now go back to account settings | 23:39 |
| Nostahl | cant find settings in eather for ripping speed | 23:39 |
| soundray | sploozer: why are you running bind? | 23:40 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Tell me what your settings are under server settings? | 23:40 |
| kahrytan | soundray, I just meant video as in actual videos | 23:40 |
| mich54 | soundray: then i have to mention that i i used to have my boot files on the same partition of the filesystem then i changed it to a separate one | 23:40 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Specifically server name and username? | 23:40 |
| _2 | Jowi that's about it. has a "security" section where you set/change the passwd, and an "other" section where you turn lid switch on/off and low bat alarm on/off, then the "boot" section where you can choose lan cd or hdd that's it. for my bios. | 23:40 |
| soundray | kahrytan: I think so | 23:40 |
| sploozer | local DNS cache server for local webserver name res | 23:40 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: servername = localhost, port = 1100, security settings = never | 23:41 |
| _2 | imo they built crap and sold it as if it was gold. | 23:41 |
| soundray | mich54: then you should reinstall grub | 23:41 |
| soundray | mich54: follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions from the factoid: | 23:41 |
| soundray | !grub | mich54 | 23:41 |
| ubottu | mich54: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:41 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: for username is it <yourusername>@hotmail.com? | 23:42 |
| _2 | anyone else ? | 23:42 |
| mich54 | soundray:ok thanks , i'll try that ! | 23:42 |
| kantor | magical_trevsky, hi, somebody would help me with volunteer software development ? details on private | 23:42 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: no theres the part before the @hotmail.co.uk | 23:42 |

| puff | Ever since the kernel update about a week ago, my laptop has been acting flaky. Every now and then wireless will just disappear - iwlist can't see any networks, and ifup/ifdown eth1 say "ignoring unknown interface". I have to reboot to get wireless working again. I found a bug about that 184055 I think. | 23:43 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Ok add the hotmail.co.uk then | 23:43 |
| zaggyDS | empty? | 23:43 |
| _2 | know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? | 23:43 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: *@hotmail.co.uk | 23:43 |
| puff | However, the past few days my laptop (thinkpad t43p) has been crashing oddly, mostly when I close the lid or when I leave it idle for a while and the screen blanks out. | 23:44 |
| puff | I can't get it to come back, have to hold down the power button and force a reboot. | 23:44 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: im an idiot, you're a genius :) they're downloading now, thanks so much :) | 23:44 |
| puff | Sometimes it *won't* reboot, the power icon on the screen frame comes on but nothing appears on the screen. That may be heat-related, though. | 23:44 |
| puff | Anybody have any clue about this? | 23:44 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Thats good, also have you set up the SMPT? | 23:45 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: And you're welcome | 23:45 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: eeerrrrm i guess i havent? | 23:45 |
| kahrytan | soundray, if the card worked in windows, then what? | 23:45 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Ok so in the account settings, at the bottom there is Outgoing Sewrver (SMPT) | 23:45 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: In there add a new server | 23:46 |
| ubuntu | hey guys, I'm trying to access my WinXP partition in Ubuntu... and I don't have ANY drives showing up... can someone help me? | 23:46 |
| soundray | kahrytan: that would be circumstantial evidence for a driver bug rather than a hardware fault | 23:46 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Description "hotmail", server name "localhost", port "2525" | 23:46 |
| kantor | ubuntu, yo umust to set the grub config file | 23:46 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: For the username you want <username>@hotmail.co.uk again | 23:47 |
| kahrytan | soundray, 430w psu should befine too? | 23:47 |
| ubuntu | kantor what? | 23:47 |
| mrynit | I have a two monitor setup. i have my lapt top and a 1280x1024 LCD connected to it. it works fine but when i move my mouse over to the 2nd monitor is will pan when i go to the edge of the screen. is there a way to turn off panning? | 23:47 |
| _2 | i thought hotmail was imap | 23:47 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: use secure connection? leave as is? | 23:47 |
| AdrianStrays | Can anyone help me set up my SAMBA configuration? | 23:47 |
| kantor | ubuntu, you are new to Linux ? | 23:47 |
| soundray | kahrytan: I should point out that the driver is the responsibility of NVidia (not Ubuntu) | 23:47 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: leave as is | 23:47 |
| ubuntu | kantor I'm in a live session, and I can't see my windows partition anywhere... nor do I have a /media/hda1 drive I have absolutly nothing | 23:47 |
| TBotNik | Two quick Q's pleas don't dis about topics, just need to find help. 1. Any CVS gurus with SourceForge experience available? 2. Windows .txt file does not break a line with "\n" or "<br>" so what is the correct code? | 23:47 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: done | 23:48 |
| soundray | kahrytan: whether your wattage is enough depends on what else you have in your system | 23:48 |
| kahrytan | soundray, yeah yeah. already filed a bug under restricted | 23:48 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Then in the hotmail account config, set it to use this server for Outgoing SMTP | 23:48 |
| ubuntu | kantor no I'm not a total newb but I'm not really sure why I can't see my freakin hard drive at all | 23:48 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu in terminal type cat /proc/partitions | 23:48 |
| kum0 | server irc.matrixirc.de | 23:48 |
| mrynit | TBotNik, check file encoding. what windows app are you using to open .txt | 23:48 |
| _2 | TBotNik \r\n | 23:48 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu if its a big list pastebin it | 23:48 |
| gbs | What is the best file system for a linux in a laptop? xfs, jfs? | 23:48 |
| kantor | install gparted | 23:48 |
| ubuntu | major minor #blocks name | 23:48 |
| ubuntu | 7 0 690804 loop0 | 23:48 |
| ubuntu | major minor #blocks name | 23:48 |
| ubuntu | 7 0 690804 loop0 | 23:48 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Try send an email to yourself from thunderbird to check if its working, and if it is you are all set | 23:48 |
| FloodBot1 | ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:48 |
| _2 | TBotNik \n\r sorry. | 23:48 |
| kantor | ubuntu, install gparted | 23:48 |
| kantor | ubuntu, and open it, you can see with that program all the hard drives and partitions | 23:49 |
| Rampage | gbs: i prefer ext3 | 23:49 |
| AdrianStrays | Would someone help me set up SAMBA? | 23:49 |
| mrynit | is there a way to turn off panning on a second monitor | 23:49 |
| Nostahl | how do i check what drive my cdrom is | 23:49 |
| _2 | TBotNik mac stile is \r linux is \n win uses both. | 23:49 |
| Nostahl | ie hdc or something like that | 23:49 |
| kahrytan | soundray, doubt it's psu. people use 430w for bigger cards and more system extras | 23:49 |
| ubuntu | kantor it's already installed, I start it and it doesn't find any drives... even when I click "refresh drives" | 23:49 |
| gbs | Rampage, but ext3 is slower then xfs | 23:49 |
| ubuntu | kantor it's totally greyed out, nothing in it | 23:50 |
| Rampage | I've never used anything else gbs :-(, so can't give a good opinion | 23:50 |
| Nostahl | how do i find out what my cdrom is ie hdc or something | 23:50 |
| gbs | Rampage, aw, ock | 23:50 |
| kahrytan | soundray, is there a live cd that includes nvidia? | 23:50 |
| soundray | kahrytan: a lack of power wouldn't result in problems so reproducible | 23:50 |
| kantor | ubuntu, maybe do you have accidentally deleted the partitions or messed up the master boot record of the hard disc | 23:50 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: how do i set the hotmail account to use that server as the outgoing? i tried sending a message, i get a Send Message Error come up | 23:50 |
| _2 | TBotNik fyi there are apps to convert to from on that dos2unix unix2dos | 23:51 |
| kahrytan | soundray, huh? | 23:51 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: In the account settings, check in the hotmail account | 23:51 |
| TBotNik | mrynit: Using PHP, but "\r\n" does not a new line make in .txt files. | 23:51 |
| ubuntu | kantor no... I can boot into windows xp just fine... I need to replace a file in windows but I can't while I'm IN windows because it's in use | 23:51 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: Then in the hotmail account config, set it to use this server for Outgoing SMTP | 23:51 |
| soundray | kahrytan: I don't know. NVidia forbids redistribution, so it would be legally difficult to produce a live CD with their driver on it | 23:51 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu did that /proc/partitions show anything other than what you pasted... anything starting with /dev/hd or sd | 23:51 |
| Nostahl | whats the command to see what drive my cdrom is listed as | 23:52 |
| ubuntu | kantor no | 23:52 |
| ubuntu | musikgoat no | 23:52 |
| _2 | Nostahl if it's mounted mount | 23:52 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu then the live cd isn't seeing the disks from a hardware level... | 23:52 |
| ubuntu | kantor all I can access is the temporary files installed for unbuntu's file system | 23:52 |
| _2 | Nostahl a little harder to find if not mounted. | 23:52 |
| soundray | kahrytan: your system crashes each time you start X. So your problem is well reproducible. It is thus not likely a power issue. | 23:52 |
| cerix | #ubuntu | 23:52 |
| ubuntu | musikgoat yes I see that.... how do I fix it? | 23:52 |
| cerix | ubuntu irc french ? | 23:53 |
| cerix | quel et la manipe | 23:53 |
| artista-frustrad | where can I find good documentation on encoding a video file form avi to ogg ? | 23:53 |
| ompaul | !fr A | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Factoid fr a not found | 23:53 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: perfect :) for other accounts do i use the same outgoing server of they're hotmail? | 23:53 |
| ompaul | !fr | cerix | 23:53 |
| ubottu | cerix: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 23:53 |
| kahrytan | soundray, http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/19150.html | 23:53 |
| soundray | kahrytan: have you considered SeaPhor's suggestion? | 23:53 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu: i would look in your dmesg history for any errors reading the disks | 23:53 |
| kantor | ubuntu, I think you messed up something there, try to become root and use fdisk from a terminal | 23:53 |
| Rampage | Umm, i would suggest creating different ones with different login details if you have multiple accounts Pxrbot | 23:53 |
| cdavis | I added a drive to my system and can mount it fine, I however have to sudo to create any files or copy files to it? | 23:53 |
| kantor | ubuntu, to see if that program sees some partitions | 23:54 |
| AdrianStrays | Would somebody help me set up samba? | 23:54 |
| loller | somebody to help me i`ve posted my problem here http://pastebin.ca/1041609 ? | 23:54 |
| Pxrbot | Rampage: ok :) thanks again, you're a magician | 23:54 |
| soundray | kahrytan: that looks like a faulty or incomplete installation to me | 23:54 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu following kantor's recommendations, sudo fdisk -l | 23:54 |
| Rampage | Pxrbot: You're welcome | 23:54 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu but pastebin it | 23:54 |
| ubuntu | musikgoat it's blank | 23:54 |
| kahrytan | soundray, I did get that error once. | 23:54 |
| local | how do i convert my .nrg file to iso ? | 23:54 |
| ubuntu | sudo fdisk -l doesn't list anything at all | 23:54 |
| mshiltonj | I'm on Hardy, trying to connect to a Books A Million (chain bookstore) wifi hot-spot. I can see the network, and I get an IP, but I can *do* anything. I do not get redirected to their auth/login page over http. It's been reported else (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=742354) but I haven't seen a resolution. | 23:54 |
| _2 | Nostahl if you ever need to find a cd/dvd drive from a command line http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3fd5b0a1 | 23:55 |
| cdavis | does the directory I am mounting to provide the permissions for the mounted device? ie chmod 777 to /storage before I mount anything to it? | 23:55 |
| loller | somebody to help me i`ve posted my problem here http://pastebin.ca/1041609 ? | 23:55 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu: ok odd... I would try rebooting the LiveCD | 23:55 |
| kahrytan | soundray, when I got to recovery, I went to root. And that error showed up | 23:55 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu: then immediately check sudo fdisk -l | 23:55 |
| mshiltonj | I've been to other free public hotspots that had me "register" or "authz" when I used http and had no probs. | 23:55 |
| _2 | cdavis no. if it's an M$ file system it's psyudo permissions, else they are on the fs itself. | 23:56 |
| ubuntu | musikgoat I've rebooted like 5 times, used different versions (xubuntu, kubuntu etc) and have gotten nowhere | 23:56 |
| mshiltonj | Is there anything I can do to connect (and use) the Books A Million wireless connection? | 23:56 |
| soundray | kahrytan: what I'd do then is a fresh install and a bog-standard driver installation through jockey-gtk | 23:56 |
| kahrytan | soundray, If it worksi n windows, its not power issue | 23:56 |
| kahrytan | jockey? | 23:56 |
| soundray | kahrytan: I already said it's not a power issue | 23:57 |
| soundray | kahrytan: jockey-gtk = System-Administration-Hardware Drivers | 23:57 |
| war | hola! | 23:57 |
| kahrytan | soundray, thats what that is | 23:57 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu: your issue is pretty unique, there's not too many times where the install disks cannot even detect any hard drives, what are you installing this on? | 23:57 |
| ompaul | !it | war | 23:57 |
| ubottu | war: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 23:57 |
| war | !it | 23:57 |
| kahrytan | soundray, I did fresh install already. | 23:57 |
| cdavis | _2, Thanks, makes sense and I have it working now | 23:57 |
| local | how do i mount .nrg file ? | 23:57 |
| kahrytan | soundray, i updated system, then install nvidia | 23:57 |
| ubuntu | musikgoat a PC with an ASUS mobo, and just a regular EIDE Hard drive | 23:58 |
| _2 | cdavis welcome | 23:58 |
| ubuntu | musikgoat yeah I dunno... I can't seem to figure out the problem either | 23:58 |
| _2 | does anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? | 23:58 |
| soundray | kahrytan: through jockey-gtk? | 23:58 |
| musikgoat | ubuntu can you pastebin your dmesg? | 23:58 |
| Flannel | _2: try vga=ask | 23:58 |
| poooop | hi | 23:58 |
| poooop | flannel whats up? | 23:59 |
| _2 | Flannel heh it will only allow text mode from ask. | 23:59 |
| === poooop is now known as WSP | ||
| WSP | hi flannel | 23:59 |
| kahrytan | soundray, yes | 23:59 |
