| theFATMAN | Jordan_U: it says it doesnt exist, m8 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| shelbyscates | tayfun: they are assorted and random, but you might find some you like :) | 00:00 |
| smmagic | nevermind, soundray :P | 00:00 |
| Rampage | i haven't memetic | 00:00 |
| memetic | I'm not sure if it's the best thing, but being able to connect from any windows system /without/ installing extra software is attractive. | 00:00 |
| musikgoat | Jordan_U: the file doesn't exist, its just a figment of gnomes imagination | 00:00 |
| shelbyscates | tayfun: i got you confused with my friend taylor XD | 00:00 |
| soundray | sapph: are there any related error messages in dmesg? | 00:00 |
| tayfun | no problem | 00:00 |
| Rampage | memetic: vncviewer on windwos is a standalone application. | 00:00 |
| theFATMAN | hold on, can i paste a screenshot in the bin? | 00:00 |
| tayfun | shelby let me look at the picturs | 00:00 |
| tayfun | i will write u in few minutes | 00:00 |
| shelbyscates | k :) | 00:00 |
| shelbyscates | k :) | 00:00 |
| tayfun | thanks | 00:00 |
| Rampage | memetic: the remote desktop feature is preinstalled, and all one needs is to install openssh-server | 00:01 |
| shelbyscates | sure | 00:01 |
| shelbyscates | so yuz gize.... anyone here know how to controll simple electronics with a usb or serial port???? | 00:02 |
| memetic | Rampage: suppose you're breaking up the corporate internet. They've got your desktop locked down, hard, on the domain. | 00:02 |
| tayfun | damn shelby they are totally coolllllllllllll thanks my man u did a great job i dont even know which one i should take i guess i take it alllll :) | 00:02 |
| memetic | Rampage: You want to be smooth about it and run remote desktops over port 443, so nobody'll suspect too much. | 00:02 |
| memetic | Rampage: Installing any software would immediately attract the attention of zealous windows network admins. | 00:02 |
| memetic | Your only hope: The remote desktop icon on your desktop. | 00:02 |
| soundray | shelbyscates: no... this is not the best channel for this type of question. | 00:02 |
| shelbyscates | tayfun: haha, glad you like em, btw if you have more questions you can email me at shelby@sudoshelby.com :) | 00:03 |
| soundray | shelbyscates: perhaps ##hardware | 00:03 |
| memetic | Just sayin' | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | theFATMAN, Try running "mv ~/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop*{,-bak}" | 00:03 |
| Rampage | memetic: then don't do it | 00:03 |
| shelbyscates | thanks soundray :) | 00:03 |
| tayfun | shelby do u have a msn | 00:03 |
| tayfun | when i got some problem i can write u there? | 00:03 |
| memetic | Rampage: :) | 00:03 |
| shelbyscates | tayfun: sure, give scates_80 a try ;) | 00:03 |
| Rampage | memetic: and on windows you don't need to install anything | 00:03 |
| tayfun | give me ur complete msn add | 00:04 |
| Rampage | memetic: vncviewer is a standalone application, as is putty as an ssh client | 00:04 |
| tayfun | i write it and add u in my | 00:04 |
| shelbyscates | tayfun: scates_80@hotmail.com | 00:04 |

| Winners | ok | 00:07 |
| Winners | so? | 00:07 |
| Rampage | tayfun, windows != ubuntu | 00:07 |

| Winners | i need something that looks like wmp | 00:07 |
| connor | winners: use vlc media player | 00:07 |
| shelbyscates | tayfun: this is a rather long explanation. come to my chat room so i dont have to bother with catching your questions: www.sudoshelby.com/chat | 00:07 |
| soundray | Winners: why? | 00:07 |
| Winners | oh, it sucks connor i have seen screenshot of it. | 00:07 |
| nikrud | My syslog is getting flooded with cts protection enabled/disabled messages, is there a way to turn this off? | 00:07 |
| smmagic | woohoo! compiz ftw! | 00:07 |

| Winners | because i am used to wmp | 00:07 |
| britfag | what do you guys get when you run this into the terminal? :(){ :|:& };: | 00:07 |
| tayfun | i m clickin but comes nothin | 00:07 |
| solexious | [Q] How can i revert to the -17 kernal as i cant run virtualbox on -18 ... | 00:07 |
| tayfun | :( | 00:08 |
| sapph | soundray: The system starting acting odd - unstable and slow, so I did a restart. I'll get back to you once boot is complete | 00:08 |
| danielhs | hello | 00:08 |
| connor | winners: go to the chat i sent you | 00:08 |
| connor | go to the newly opened tab that opened on your irc client | 00:08 |
| Leefmc | Question: I need to add a system path, specifically for python. How is this done in Ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| Pici | DONT RUN THAT | 00:08 |
| soundray | Winners: unless you are willing to give up a lot of things that you are used to, I would recommend that you stick with Windows. | 00:08 |
| connor | pici: dont run what? | 00:08 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: to the python path? | 00:08 |
| zvacet | solexious : boot in -17 | 00:08 |
| shelbyscates | tayfun: just enter it in your broswer or sumtin' | 00:08 |
| Pici | connor: Exactly. | 00:08 |
| Rampage | Pici: what is that? | 00:08 |
| connor | pici: =/ | 00:08 |

| solexious | zvacet: ubuntu doesnt boot correctly and also netwrking doesnt work... | 00:09 |
| danielhs | I have a relatively simple question. how can I manage the email notification that gets sent to root by the linux system? | 00:09 |
| Rampage | nikrud: already on it | 00:09 |
| kinap | jinx! | 00:09 |
| Dakilleux | im trying to set up the wifi on my ps3 but the /etc/network/interfaces file wont save | 00:09 |
| Rampage | it did look fishy | 00:09 |
| connor | ok | 00:09 |
| connor | rampage: what are we talking aboutr? | 00:09 |
| Leefmc | dandel: It probably doesn't matter, it didn't for windows. But how do you add system paths? | 00:09 |
| kinap | hello | 00:09 |
| kinap | my name is kinap | 00:09 |
| Dakilleux | how do i save it? | 00:09 |
| danielhs | I'd like it to go to my real email box. or at least be able to read it easily when I'm locally on my ubuntu box....and I'm not really familiar with the 'mail' command line app | 00:09 |
| Rampage | connor: a message by britfag telling one to run :(){ :|:& };: | 00:09 |
| connor | LMAO | 00:09 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: do you just mean. sys.path? | 00:09 |
| connor | who would actually run that? | 00:09 |
| connor | seriously | 00:09 |
| kinap | connor | 00:10 |
| janice8951 | Rampage: It will not properly install Groftpd | 00:10 |
| connor | what | 00:10 |
| kinap | connor | 00:10 |
| LAU | anyone knows how can i change the logon screen on ubunutu ? | 00:10 |
| zvacet | solexious : do you still have -17 and is that kernel woring properly | 00:10 |
| nikrud | !troll | 00:10 |

| kinap | hi | 00:10 |
| Rampage | janice8951: what do you get? | 00:10 |
| connor | what | 00:10 |
| connor | whats the problem? | 00:10 |
| Rampage | janice8951: any errors? | 00:10 |
| danielhs | if that's the case just do this: import sys; sys.path.append('path_you_want_added_for_python') | 00:10 |
| Dakilleux | im trying to set up the wifi on my ps3 but the /etc/network/interfaces file wont save | 00:10 |
| janice8951 | Rampage: it says that there are depenency problems | 00:10 |
| connor | kinap: what do you need | 00:10 |
| Dakilleux | how do i save it? | 00:10 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: does that make sense? | 00:10 |
| kinap | you wont talk to me | 00:10 |
| kinap | i need a friend | 00:10 |
| Rampage | janice8951: Did you try install it from synaptic? | 00:10 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Sounds plausible | 00:10 |
| janice8951 | Yes | 00:10 |
| linuxmonkey | !ot | kinap | 00:10 |
| ubottu | kinap: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:10 |
| solexious | zvacet: well i havent removed it and it shows up in grub, but when i boot it goes to a white screen with a mouse pointer | 00:10 |
| connor | kinap: what do you need help with? | 00:10 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Sounds plausible | 00:10 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: or possibly you want to change the environment of your ubuntu? the environement variables or what not | 00:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kinap This isnt a chat room it is tech support | 00:10 |
| enos | i wonder why i never just installed ubuntu! this is great! | 00:11 |
| nikrud | kinap no friends available here, try #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 00:11 |
| Rampage | janice8951: what packages is it complaining about | 00:11 |
| Leefmc | oops, double heh | 00:11 |
| kinap | sorry guys | 00:11 |
| kinap | I was just being stupid | 00:11 |
| Dakilleux | im trying to set up the wifi on my ps3 but the /etc/network/interfaces file wont save | 00:11 |
| Dakilleux | how do i save it? | 00:11 |
| janice8951 | Rampage: Hang on I closed it. I have to try again to get the same error | 00:11 |
| kinap | I was wondering, how do i check if i got aticonfig running properly | 00:11 |
| kinap | ex, svideo out | 00:11 |
| kinap | or in | 00:11 |
| danielhs | Hello, does someone here know how to manage the email notifications generated by the linux machine? | 00:11 |
| Bnohelphere | i need to get to #ubuntu but I cant | 00:11 |
| danielhs | like logs and other errors and what not | 00:11 |
| Bnohelphere | err | 00:11 |
| Bnohelphere | #kubuntu | 00:11 |
| tyler_ | Hey guys what format can i use mencoder to convert a .ogg file to a file playable on Windows Media Player? | 00:11 |
| * Rampage keeps failing at searching for what that code does on google :( | 00:11 | |
| sapph | soundray: Okay, rebooting brought my interfaces back, and they are both in 'roaming mode'. However, unlike in the LiveCD, one has failed to obtain an IP address at all, and the other has an automatic private address (in the 169.254 subnet) | 00:11 |
| LAU | anyone knows how can i change the logon screen on ubunutu ? | 00:11 |
| danielhs | how do I limit them, send them to a place I can read them....etc? | 00:12 |
| danielhs | LAU: take a look at appearances | 00:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bnohelphere Why are you banned for some reason | 00:12 |
| danielhs | lots of options | 00:12 |
| janice8951 | !pastebin' | 00:12 |
| musikgoat | tyler_: don't use windows media player | 00:12 |
| ubottu | Factoid pastebin' not found | 00:12 |
| danielhs | system --> appearances | 00:12 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Well, technically i want to allow modules in python to be loaded froma specific directory. python's sys.path takes care of this, but i want to add an environment path variable so that python will always have that path in its sys.path.. if that makes sense. | 00:12 |
| janice8951 | !pastebin | 00:12 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 00:12 |
| zvacet | solexious : so -18 work but you can not run virtual box in that kernel is there a waay to reconfigure virtualbox | 00:12 |
| musikgoat | tyler_ vlc should play ogg files | 00:12 |
| dandel | leefmc, depends on what your doing... anyways try reading this page: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Python/System/System-Path.htm | 00:12 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: why not just add them to your site-packages? | 00:12 |
| adamorjames | I was wondering... is there anyway to make the nm-applet to scale when the panel is made bigger? Also the Weather Report applet... | 00:12 |
| tyler_ | musikgoat_:i dont i dual-boot windows for windows movie maker | 00:12 |
| zvacet | !paste | 00:12 |
| LAU | <danielhs>im using ubunutu 7.04 feisty i think i dont have that option | 00:13 |
| musikgoat | tyler_ oh | 00:13 |
| Rampage | nikrud: May I PM? | 00:13 |
| solexious | zvacet: yes it works, but you need a module for virtualbox to work, and there are only -16 and -17 in the repositorys... | 00:13 |
| janice8951 | Rampage: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18603/ | 00:13 |
| nikrud | Rampage sure | 00:13 |
| soundray | sapph: sorry, I won't be much use to you any more tonight. I suggest you look through dmesg output or /var/log/syslog to see if any difficulties with the network card are reported. | 00:13 |
| tyler_ | musikgoat_:so what format is playable on it | 00:13 |
| Tux | I was wondering how I can get all of the windows even the one that need the sudo password to adhere to the theme colors I have? | 00:13 |
| adamorjames | Maybe Gnome would be a better place to ask this question... | 00:13 |
| musikgoat | tyler_ i'd ask in #windows | 00:13 |
| danielhs | LAU: I was wrong, I think it's system administration --> login window | 00:14 |
| soundray | sapph: I think it's possible that you're looking at a proper bug, considering that it works from the old live CD. (Does it work with the hardy live CD?) | 00:14 |
| danielhs | but I could be wrong, I'm no expert myself | 00:14 |
| dandel | leafmc: it said... import sys; sys.path.append("absolute Path goes here"); | 00:14 |
| danielhs | but I believe that's right | 00:14 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Because its files that need to be accessible from anywhere, but are currently under development in my Git repo. So putting the files elsewhere isn't the best option | 00:14 |
| LAU | <danielhs>okay sure i lll cehck | 00:14 |
| Flannel | Tux: the ones you run through sudo will have roots theme. So, you'll want to use theme manager with gksu and then set up the theme tha way | 00:14 |
| danielhs | oh it's *files* | 00:14 |
| danielhs | I see....hmmmm | 00:14 |
| Rampage | janice8951: I'm not sure about this, i've never used gproftpd myself | 00:14 |
| sapph | soundray: I'll try burning one and see. | 00:14 |
| enos | just trying to figure out why when I use my "fn+CRT/LCD" function, my external monitor won't come correctly, i just get these zig-zag lines | 00:15 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Well, modules, files, same thing :o | 00:15 |
| Rampage | janice8951: I could walk you through a proftpd config if you want? | 00:15 |
| janice8951 | Sure that would be great | 00:15 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: oh well that changes things! why not put them in site-packages? | 00:15 |
| danielhs | a little bit of circular reasoning, but here we are again :) | 00:15 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: I also think there's a way to use the /usr/local directory to add packages like that | 00:15 |
| adamorjames | Is there anyway to make the nm-applet applet scale when the panel is made bigger? Also the Weather Report applet... | 00:15 |
| soundray | sapph: do ask the channel again if you're still stuck. Sometimes it takes a few repetitions (leave 10+ minutes intervals) to get a reply. | 00:15 |
| danielhs | though I don't recall how I've done it in the past unfortunately.... | 00:16 |
| adamorjames | *any way | 00:16 |
| Rampage | janice8951: do "sudo aptitude install proftpd" | 00:16 |
| zvacet | solexious : I can see virtalbox module for -18 in synaptic it is in universe | 00:16 |
| soundray | sapph: logging off now. Good luck | 00:16 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Well thats the thing, i can't, and shouldn't have to, move my project elsewhere. You're asking to move the files to a different directory correct? | 00:16 |
| danielhs | anyone here know anything about managing email notifications? | 00:16 |
| Bnohelphere | im angry | 00:16 |
| Bnohelphere | i had no backups | 00:16 |
| janice8951 | Want to do that in a more intimate | 00:16 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: is this for one project? | 00:16 |
| janice8951 | settings like PM? | 00:16 |
| Bnohelphere | adept went crazy and now I cant login | 00:16 |
| solexious | zvacet: do i havet to enable this repository? | 00:16 |
| janice8951 | I can't follow like this. | 00:16 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: In Windows, i would have added a system environment path, and all would be well | 00:16 |
| Rampage | janice8951: ok pm | 00:16 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Yes | 00:16 |
| Bnohelphere | is there an auto-repair command? | 00:16 |
| soundray | Bnohelphere: there is a recovery mode | 00:17 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: have you heard of python packages? | 00:17 |
| zvacet | solexious : try t oupgrade because i think even -19 is availabe now | 00:17 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: created using __init__.py files? | 00:17 |
| Flannel | Bnohelphere: What errors do you get when logging in? | 00:17 |
| zvacet | solexious : yes | 00:17 |
| soundray | Bnohelphere: choose it from the grub menu, then run 'apt-get -f install ; dpkg --configure -a' | 00:17 |
| Bnohelphere | x server rstarts | 00:17 |
| danielhs | then you can import those files, easily, from anywhere in your project | 00:17 |
| Bnohelphere | the x server just flat outrestarts | 00:17 |
| Flannel | Bnohelphere: Alright, go to sessions, and choose the "Safe" option (safe kde, I suppose) | 00:17 |
| Bnohelphere | no failsafe session no nohing | 00:17 |
| soundray | Flannel: he said 'adept went crazy', hence my reasoning. | 00:18 |
| graft | does anyone know why firefox would be unable to resolve domain names? I already disabled ipv6 and it works fine with ping, host, etc. also works fine with konqueror | 00:18 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Ofcourse, you can't really have a python project without them :) | 00:18 |
| zvacet | solexious : check under system>admin>software sources that you have universe enabled | 00:18 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: haha, okay..... | 00:18 |
| soundray | Bnohelphere: did you get my suggestion? | 00:18 |
| Bnohelphere | i cant start a failsafe sessino either | 00:18 |
| Flannel | soundray: Aye, I agree | 00:18 |
| kafar | \join #ubuntu-pl | 00:18 |
| danielhs | so if you put those filse into a lib folder in your project, doesn't that work? | 00:18 |
| Flannel | Bnohelphere: alright, reboot, and at the GRUB menu, choose the recovery console. | 00:18 |
| danielhs | I'm not quite understanding what you're trying to do I guess | 00:18 |
| zvacet | solexious : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:19 |
| nikrud | My syslog is getting flooded with cts protection enabled/disabled messages, is there a way to turn this off? | 00:19 |
| Flannel | Bnohelphere: Do other accounts work? or do you have no other accounts? | 00:19 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: But long story short, it is not possible (that i've seen yet) to import my other modules in the project. Its due to blender loading a copy of the running script remotely, not from within your project dir. So basically, blender moves the running file so it does not have access to the modules it tries to import | 00:19 |
| soundray | Flannel: was just about to log off -- I'll leave him to you, hope it's okay. | 00:19 |
| Tux | I was wondering how I can get all of the windows even the one that need the sudo password to adhere to the theme colors I have? | 00:19 |
| Flannel | Tux: the ones you run through sudo will have roots theme. So, you'll want to use theme manager with gksu and then set up the theme tha way | 00:19 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: You're going roundabout though. Does Ubuntu not have system environment paths like windows? | 00:19 |
| Bnohelphere | almost in teh recovery console\ | 00:20 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: it does! | 00:20 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: It does. echo $PATH | 00:20 |
| BobCFC | tux run sudo gnome-appearance-properties and set the rot theme | 00:20 |
| Bnohelphere | it said /bin/sh so such file or directory | 00:20 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: So how do i add one to $PATH? | 00:20 |
| BobCFC | Tux: root* theme | 00:20 |
| Bnohelphere | i lost the shell lol | 00:20 |
| enos | Is there a way to get ubuntu to optimize for hardware like gentoo? Reason I ask is that I might buy a Quad processor computer but I'm not sure if I'll benefit from the "quad-power" | 00:20 |
| nikrud | BobCFC you should recommend gksudo or gksu rather than sudo , sudo would change his user theme, but save the prefs as root. BAD! | 00:20 |
| Flannel | enos: You will, the generic kernel does it automatically. | 00:21 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: I'm not sure.....I've done it before, but I had to look it up....I'm sure other people here know much better than me | 00:21 |
| Bnohelphere | what do I do now? | 00:21 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: I don't recall it being terribly difficult though | 00:21 |
| kafar | #ubuntu-pl | 00:21 |
| danielhs | quick google search | 00:21 |
| Bnohelphere | im ni the recovery console thing | 00:21 |
| graft | Leefmc: add what to path? | 00:21 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Ah ok, np :) thanks though, i'll google it up now that i know what its called | 00:21 |
| solexious | zvacet: soft scources says unuverse is checked | 00:21 |
| nikrud | Tux use gksu , not sudo | 00:21 |
| solexious | zvacet: done *sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade* with no luck | 00:21 |
| Leefmc | graft: Add a directory to $PATH. Specifically, so that python can import from that path. | 00:21 |
| BobCFC | nickrd sorry 1handed typing worried about how to spell appearance lol | 00:21 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm#_singleuser | 00:21 |
| Bnohelphere | what d I do? | 00:22 |
| nikrud | BobCFC hahaha | 00:22 |
| Bnohelphere | im in the shell thing | 00:22 |
| Tux | k | 00:22 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ty flannel | 00:22 |
| Bnohelphere | the recovery one | 00:22 |
| graft | Leefmc: $PATH is just where commands are searched for, not where python imports from | 00:22 |
| graft | Leefmc: to add to $PATH you just do export PATH=<new dir>:$PATH | 00:22 |
| Flannel | Bnohelphere: apt-get -f install ; dpkg --configure -a | 00:22 |
| graft | Leefmc: but i'm not sure how python searches for modules | 00:22 |
| Mascatarasca | my milk shake brings all the boys in the yard | 00:22 |
| graft | Leefmc: i'm sure it ain't $PATH | 00:22 |
| enos | WOW! "disk usage analyzer" is awesome! | 00:22 |
| === u^A_ is now known as u^A | ||
| Flannel | Leefmc: If its a python thing, you'll need to tell python about new libraries are and stuff, that's not a PATH thing. But python config. | 00:22 |
| kafar | \join | 00:23 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: You might try #python, they'll certainly know | 00:23 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Ah, in windows it was, bummer | 00:23 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: K | 00:23 |
| Leefmc | thanks guys :), windows tactics in my head still hehe | 00:23 |
| graft | Flannel: actually they'll probably send him back here, it's a distro-specific thing | 00:23 |
| zvacet | solexious :are you looking for virtualbox-ose-guest module for linux-image 2,6,24-18 | 00:24 |
| graft | unless he's writing his own modules he wants to import... | 00:24 |
| danielhs | graft, Flannel, Leefmc wow this is surprisingly complex | 00:24 |
| nikrud | graft http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/search-path.html#SECTION000410000000000000000 | 00:24 |
| graft | danielhs: nah it's not complex, we just don't know how to do it :) | 00:24 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: If I were you, I'd do a google search with keywords "pythonpath, search path, ubuntu" | 00:24 |
| Leefmc | graft: I am writing my own modules i want to import | 00:25 |
| tilgovi | I have kernels listed as installed, but which I can't remove because I deleted their initrd/image filse to make room for upgrades on my boot partition. | 00:25 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: They'll be able to tell you exactly how in #python | 00:25 |
| tilgovi | Now apt refuses to remove them because the removal fails to find things it expected | 00:25 |
| Leefmc | graft: But they need to be able to be imported globally | 00:25 |
| tilgovi | what should I do? | 00:25 |
| graft | Leefmc: oh ah.. yeah, goto #python | 00:25 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: easy just found it | 00:25 |
| ibanez | do you guys recommend using WINE for a windows game that was made in 1997. | 00:25 |
| Leefmc | I'll give py a try then | 00:25 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Ooo, do tell | 00:26 |
| tilgovi | ibanez: will probably work fine. | 00:26 |
| danielhs | do /usr/local/lib/python2.5 (or whatever) | 00:26 |
| ibanez | ty tilgovi | 00:26 |
| danielhs | then /site-packages | 00:26 |
| danielhs | so it's /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages | 00:26 |
| Bnohelphere | well... im just going to backup the files | 00:26 |
| Bnohelphere | that is failing | 00:26 |
| tilgovi | ibanez: I think there are directories that list known, working games. Check it out. | 00:26 |
| zvacet | !wine | ibanez | 00:26 |
| ubottu | ibanez: 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. | 00:26 |
| Bnohelphere | the command I wa sgiven earlier failed | 00:26 |
| solexious | zvacet: thats showing only upto -17 as well... :s | 00:26 |
| graft | does anyone know why firefox would be unable to resolve domain names? I already disabled ipv6 and it works fine with ping, host, etc. also works fine with konqueror | 00:26 |

| musikgoat | thanks Jalathan | 00:27 |
| Jalathan | np | 00:27 |
| Bnohelphere | its un-recoverable I think | 00:27 |
| zvacet | solexious : and that is module you are looking for It is strange I can see it in synaptic | 00:27 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: i must have missed something, all you did is mention site-packages correct? | 00:27 |
| danielhs | nope.... | 00:27 |
| Tux | ty | 00:28 |
| graft | firefox has been trying to resolve www.google.com for twenty minutes now | 00:28 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: if you put your module in /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages it'll be on the python path | 00:28 |
| nikrud | Leefmc http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/search-path.html#SECTION000410000000000000000 look for PYTHONPATH | 00:28 |
| tilgovi | nikrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18609/ | 00:28 |
| solexious | zvacet: im looking for -18... | 00:28 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Huh.. i'm not seeing it then. Ok.. navigate to /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then...? | 00:28 |
| graft | although it isn't actually even attempting a DNS query, so i dunno wtf it's doing | 00:28 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: put your modules there | 00:28 |
| musikgoat | graft: can you ping it? | 00:28 |
| graft | musikgoat: yeah, ping works fine | 00:28 |
| danielhs | site-packages is teh natural place for packages you want to be found by all of your python programs | 00:28 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Ah, yea ofcourse. But thats defying one of the previous rules. I cannot and should not, move my project. | 00:28 |
| graft | musikgoat: as far as i can tell, name resolution works fine 100%... just not in firefox | 00:29 |
| danielhs | the directory /usr/local is for stuff that you've custom installed | 00:29 |
| musikgoat | graft: and firefox has problems with other sites too? | 00:29 |
| * Leefmc looks at nikrud's link | 00:29 | |
| graft | musikgoat: yep, can't browse anything | 00:29 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: why does that require you to move your project? | 00:29 |
| musikgoat | graft: can ff get to 64.233.167.99? | 00:29 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: you could do a soft link to your project | 00:29 |
| danielhs | done! | 00:29 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: You said "put your projects in there" | 00:29 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Ooo | 00:29 |
| graft | musikgoat: yeah if i give it an IP it works | 00:29 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: You and your nifty unix ways. | 00:30 |
| zvacet | solexious :apt-cache search virtualbox-ose-guest module for linux-image 2.6.24-18 | 00:30 |
| danielhs | hahaha | 00:30 |
| danielhs | glad that solved it for you | 00:30 |
| Bnohelphere | i lost EVERYTHIGN important | 00:30 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: I forgot it can do that, so i'll google soft link! Thank you :) | 00:30 |
| danielhs | np | 00:30 |
| Bnohelphere | oh well ill just use a live cd and backup | 00:30 |
| ibanez | WINE is causing a little bit of problems, ill try Cedega | 00:30 |
| BobCFC | zvacet: its not ready u have to use .17 | 00:30 |
| Leefmc | danielhs: Funny thing is, i knew about site-packages, thats standard python, but i didnt use it because i couldn't move my project. :) | 00:30 |
| ibanez | or restart | 00:30 |
| BobCFC | zvacet: i just did apget update still noy there | 00:30 |
| danielhs | Leefmc: I gotcha | 00:31 |
| zvacet | BobCFC : who is not ready | 00:31 |
| danielhs | I think keeping the softlink in site-packagse is a lot cleaner than mucking with teh system path | 00:31 |
| graft | musikgoat: any ideas? | 00:31 |
| solexious | zvacet: again im only getting upto -17... | 00:31 |
| BobCFC | zvacet: the vb-kernel-modules are always a few days behind | 00:31 |
| nosa-J | how do i got about installing windows xp with a already installed ubuntu os? | 00:31 |
| nikrud | tilgovi here's my copy of that file; you might try sudo touch Sysmap<etc> first: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18610/ | 00:31 |
| musikgoat | graft: try firefox in safe mode? | 00:31 |
| BobCFC | zvacet: gave me trouble in aplha hady, new kernels every day lol | 00:32 |
| graft | musikgoat: safe mode? | 00:32 |
| musikgoat | graft: firefox-bin -safe-mode iirc | 00:32 |
| Rampage | graft: you having problems with your dns? since it works with ip | 00:32 |
| zvacet | BobCFC : but I see it in synaptic that is reason why is this situation strange to me | 00:32 |
| graft | Rampage: DNS works fine everywhere else, as far as i can tell | 00:32 |
| solexious | zvacet: ive found it, do you have the proposed unuverse enabled? | 00:32 |
| solexious | zvacet: universe* | 00:32 |
| musikgoat | graft: firefox-3.0 -safe-mode | 00:32 |
| zvacet | solexious yes | 00:32 |
| zvacet | solexious : sorry my overlook | 00:33 |
| graft | musikgoat: nein, still fails to work in safe mode | 00:33 |
| Rampage | graft: this is worth a try https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu | 00:33 |
| solexious | zvacet: cool, ive found it in there, is it advisable to use this repo? | 00:33 |
| danielhs | No one knows how to manage system emails? | 00:33 |
| Flannel | tilgovi: Don't do that next time, let package management deal with the files in package management. But for now, `dpkg --purge --force-confmiss package` I believe will work. | 00:33 |
| nosa-J | how do i got about installing windows xp with a already installed ubuntu os? | 00:33 |
| danielhs | does everyone have 35,000 system emails like I do? | 00:33 |
| danielhs | this is insane | 00:33 |
| danielhs | how do I deal with these things | 00:33 |
| danielhs | I want to get them when they happen....but 35,000 is nuts....and how can I read them if my primary email app is gmail? | 00:34 |
| tilgovi | Flannel: thanks | 00:34 |
| musikgoat | graft: thats odd... | 00:34 |
| nosa-J | how do i go about installing windows xp with a already installed ubuntu os? | 00:34 |
| graft | Rampage: i tried various nameservers, didn't help. I poked around with wireshark and it isn't even sending out DNS query packets | 00:34 |
| zvacet | solexious : you will have to ask that somebody smarter then I´m and that will be easy task :) | 00:35 |
| graft | i assume some library i update recently borked things up, since this is broken for both firefox 2 and 3 | 00:35 |
| nikrud | tilgovi http://aphroneo.net, it might be easier to get it there | 00:35 |
| solexious | zvacet: Thank you, do you hae any problems using it? | 00:35 |
| zvacet | solexious : not so far | 00:35 |
| solexious | zvacet: Sweet, thanx :) | 00:36 |
| musikgoat | nosa-J: unfortunately the xp install will overwrite the grub boot loader, so you will have to install xp on a second disk or partition, then fix grub to allow booting to either OS | 00:36 |
| dmt | is ca.archive.ubuntu.com just down? | 00:36 |

| nosa-J | wow that seems like a daunting task | 00:41 |
| musikgoat | Bllz: alot is an opinion, but in mine, no | 00:41 |
| afallenhope | Flannel: I don't know.. I was just wondering if that's normal lol | 00:41 |
| musikgoat | nosa-J: you could ask M$ to make thier bootloader support other OS's, but good luck with that | 00:42 |
| Bllz | musikgoat: it shouldn't be a problem in a system with an 800mhz processor and 128 mb RAM, should it? Something like xubuntu should still run if it ran before, right? | 00:42 |
| movedx | Is anyone ehre running lighttpd and has FastCGI PHP5/Python setup at all? | 00:42 |
| musikgoat | Bllz: yeah, shouldn't be a problem | 00:42 |
| Flannel | afallenhope: You only have one kernel, so the .old links (which pointed to the older one), now are dangling symlinks. It's usually a good idea to leave one old kernel around, since with the new one, you never know if you're going to find some showstopping regression | 00:42 |
| nosa-J | musikgoat: ive tryed it before the problem is it doesnt see the ubuntu drive ive tryed making a partition but i think i failed at that | 00:42 |
| Bllz | musikgoat: okay thanks! and lulz to the bit about M$ adding support for other OSes... | 00:42 |

| nikrud | osxdude alsa is in the kernel, when you install a kernel you get alsa. You can install alsa-base , alsa-utils and alsamixer | 00:53 |

| addeboy | Hello. Does anybody have idea why data transfer over usb is so slow in ubuntu 7.10? I notice that when I try to upload something on disk, and it takes 10 minutes to transfer 700 mb. I have usb 2.0 on my pc, and on the mounted disk it says USB 2.0 at 12Mbps (weird, since 12Mbps it's USB 1.1 speed). Tried to re-enable ehci_hcd with "rmmod ehci_hcd" and then "modprobe egci_hcd", but no joy... | 00:54 |
| osxdude | it's alsamixer not alsa-mixer | 00:54 |
| ozkelligirl | hi all | 00:54 |
| dynamethod | hey is there any way at all to recover data after its been deleted? | 00:54 |
| dynamethod | like from someone holding down the shift key and pressing delete after selected a file? | 00:54 |
| nikrud | osxdude and it comes in alsa-utils, anyway (brain fart) | 00:54 |
| musikgoat | dynamethod: no | 00:54 |
| musikgoat | dynamethod: not easily | 00:54 |
| osxdude | nikrud, I got it | 00:55 |

| osxdude | Optical audio out is WORKING!!! | 00:57 |
| Rampage | KemrinH: what application are you using | 00:58 |
| zvacet | gloria which is your latest kernel | 00:58 |
| gloria | osxdude: optical drives are so primitive who cares? | 00:58 |
| === ekovanci is now known as raptoid | ||
| afallenhope | hey my tty terminals don't work | 00:58 |
| BobCFC | gloria: i think it's a few days late if you choose .17 kernel from grub menu you can use virtualbox | 00:58 |
| KemrinH | Rampage: I'm using Transmission and Azureus | 00:58 |
| gloria | zvacet: I'm using 2.6.24-18-generic | 00:58 |
| === raptoid is now known as ekovanci | ||
| nikrud | gloria I believe you need to install virtualbox-ose-source and compile it | 00:59 |
| musikgoat | gloria: optical audio and optical drives are not the same | 00:59 |
| SuN13 | anybody know of a good wireless network manager that is lightweight ? | 00:59 |
| gloria | nikrud: why hasn't anyone updated the repos yet? they planning to? | 00:59 |
| gloria | musikgoat: then what is optical audio? | 00:59 |
| afallenhope | osxdude: please don't type in caps | 00:59 |
| nikrud | gloria it'll follow, soon we hope | 00:59 |
| Rampage | KemrinH: Azureus I know to be a memory hog (based on java) and it does slow down the system occassionally, ive never used transmission. I prefer the command line rtorrent application | 00:59 |
| osxdude | gloria I meant optical audio out | 00:59 |
| osxdude | as in SPDIF | 01:00 |
| musikgoat | gloria google it, s/pdif is another common term... | 01:00 |
| zvacet | gloria : in system<admin>software sources under updates check proposed (you can check all there if you want to) sudo app-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:00 |
| nikrud | gloria the kernels have been getting updated way to fast recently. Probably a lot of stuff is lagging | 01:00 |
| BobCFC | nikrud: they are always late it was a nightmare during hardy alpha .. use .17 in grub | 01:00 |
| nikrud | BobCFC yeah, been there done that :) | 01:00 |
| KemrinH | I think it's some kind of issue which runs the torrent spectrum | 01:00 |
| gloria | nikrud: ah crap my sources are off, thanks | 01:00 |
| * nikrud _never_ uses proposed, he'll let dev types test that stuff | 01:01 | |
| Rampage | KemrinH: no idea, i've only had slight trouble with torrenting at 5mb/s but at adsl speeds rtorrent is excellent and very lightweight | 01:01 |
| jadams__ | does ubuntu's default grub installation include pxe boot? | 01:02 |
| jadams__ | or will I need to recompile for that? | 01:02 |
| KemrinH | Does it run more than one torrent at a time with ease? | 01:02 |
| Rampage | yes KemrinH | 01:02 |
| KemrinH | I'll give it a try ^_^ Thanks | 01:03 |
| Rampage | the latest version is also in the ubuntu repository KemrinH, and despite it being command line it is very easy to learn how to use it | 01:03 |
| osxdude | woooo! | 01:03 |
| osxdude | it works!!! | 01:03 |
| Rampage | KemrinH: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide <--an excellent resource there | 01:03 |

| enos | Hmm...this is serious! I can't boot my computer unless my usbdrive is plugged in! I tried, already, to reinstall grub. Doesn't fix the problem. I'm guessing that I need to "fine tune" grub and tel it to boot my harddrive. | 01:16 |

| AwaDoV | is they in break ? | 01:16 |
| enos | How the heck should I do this...any ideas? | 01:16 |

| jonaskoelker | hello all. How do I set my domain? That is, my host is called "bianca", and has dns name bianca.example.com; I want resolving "ariel" to resolve ariel.example.com | 01:17 |
| jadams__ | will it be at all harmful for me to make install grub from source? Or will it just use the existing menu.lst? | 01:18 |
| jonaskoelker | (addresses are assign via dhcp; I don't control the dhcp server) | 01:18 |
| Flannel | jadams__: Why would you want to do that? | 01:18 |
| osxdude | easy, jonaskoelker, set an alias, which I don't know how to do | 01:18 |
| nikrud | jonaskoelker is that resolving done on the net, or is it local? | 01:18 |
| enos | Flannel: I installed ubuntu from my usbdrive using "minimal.iso" install...no cds were involved in this installation. | 01:18 |
| jadams__ | Flannel: netboot via pxe | 01:18 |

| jonaskoelker | osxdude: you mean add an entry to /etc/hosts? | 01:18 |
| osxdude | jonaskoelker, i guess | 01:19 |
| osxdude | yea lol | 01:19 |
| Da91 | is there anyway i can end task in ubuntu? | 01:19 |
| nikrud | jonaskoelker /etc/hosts work for local resolution, for internet you'd have to set up dns 'out there' | 01:19 |
| jonaskoelker | osxdude: you can add (name, name) pairs to hosts, not just (ip, name)? | 01:19 |
| AwaDoV | nikrud can you help in this | 01:19 |
| jonaskoelker | nikrud: the dns is set up | 01:19 |
| Flannel | enos: Well, a liveCD would make diagnostic easier. I guess we can do it through your actual system. What does `sudo fdisk -l` give you? | 01:19 |
| osxdude | i don't know lol | 01:19 |
| Da91 | is there a way to end task in ubuntu?? | 01:19 |
| jonaskoelker | nikrud: what I want is to type "ariel" instead of "ariel.example.com", when I'm on bianca | 01:19 |
| deeperror | Da91, kill or killall? | 01:19 |
| enos | Flannel: No cd in my computer. Only usb ports. | 01:20 |

| AwaDoV | okay thanks | 01:21 |
| jonaskoelker | nikrud: adding "domain example.com" to /etc/resolv.conf seems to work, but only temporarily. I was wondering how resolv.conf is built... | 01:21 |
| Da91 | thanks | 01:21 |
| nikrud | jonaskoelker it's set up by dhcp (I'm assuming you're using dhcp) | 01:21 |
| Rampage | jonaskoelker: if its dhcp you are using you want to modify /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 01:22 |
| jonaskoelker | nikrud: also, it contained (on my ubuntu box) a line "search example.org", which must be a holdover from the installation (my ISP wouldn't hand out that domain)... | 01:22 |
| snarkster | i know it isnt fdisk as thats MS stuff or is it | 01:22 |
| darrend | snarkster: fdisk or cfdisk should work | 01:22 |

| nikrud | jonaskoelker ah, then that solution won't work | 01:24 |
| jonaskoelker | nikrud: which solution? | 01:24 |
| nikrud | jonaskoelker back to /etc/hosts, but using a static local ip | 01:24 |

| BobCFC | psykroll: there is a pulseaudio manager that you can install the old mixer does not control volume anymore | 02:19 |

| BobCFC | psykroll: that is pulseaudio manager | 02:21 |
| Darlok_Williams | harpreet: Okay, I downloaded the self-extracting Java archive... it extracted... now what? It came with no instructions. | 02:21 |

| CaptainAmerica | how do i install iDump in ubuntu??? | 02:21 |
| BobCFC | psykroll: not done recording yet but lots of options | 02:21 |
| harpreet | Darlok_Williams you have to manually install it in Konsole | 02:21 |
| Rampage | and you can change the icon sizes there deeperror | 02:21 |

| Darlok_Williams | ubuntu-lover: Yes, you can. | 02:23 |
| Rampage | ubuntu-lover: you need to create a separate partition and install it in there | 02:23 |
| Rampage | ubuntu-lover: gparted is a good utility for that (the live cd) | 02:23 |

| xTOGx | Rampage it's like a 2.8 p4 from before hyper threading and all that. probably like 128 meg of sdram | 02:24 |
| harpreet | Darlok_Williams go to the directory where java is extracted, and type sudo apt-get update | 02:24 |
| BobCFC | AFarris01: are you using the pulseaudio manager? it has its own sound mixer | 02:24 |
| Rampage | xTOGx: its the 128mb ram causing problems i suppose, ubuntu needs 384mb ram i think | 02:24 |
| ubuntu-lover | ramapge:i do it during installation process itself | 02:24 |
| Rampage | AFarris01: Umm, i just change it from volume control and it remembers it | 02:24 |
| harpreet | Darlok_Williams then, sudo apt-get install (version) | 02:24 |
| AFarris01 | BobCFC: im using the PulseAudio Volume Control | 02:25 |
| Darlok_Williams | harpreet: What would the version be? | 02:25 |
| AFarris01 | it doesn't remember it that way | 02:25 |
| Rampage | ubuntu-lover: it can be done in the installation process, but i find the livcd of gparted nicer to use | 02:25 |
| xTOGx | Rampage is there something i can run to start with that doesn't need much ram? | 02:25 |
| harpreet | Darlok_Williams whatever the filename suggests that is the version | 02:25 |
| Rampage | AFarris01: I'm not sure, sorry :( | 02:25 |

| BobCFC | AFarris01: if you close it and run from the terminal maybe you can see an error message about save to file? | 02:26 |

| AFarris01 | BobCFC: ok, stand by | 02:26 |
| ubuntu-lover | ramapge:for windows? | 02:26 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | CaptainAmerica: since you have completely stopped paying attention, i did the research for you. iDump is a Windows program to copy music from an iPod to a PC. you're goint to have to check winehq.org or #winehq for help getting that working, as ubuntu isn't windows. | 02:26 |

| Darlok_Williams | harpreet: So I really just run apt-get install [version]? so it would be apt-get install 1.6.0? or something similar? | 02:27 |
| Rampage | not in windows, you burn the iso to cd and boot into that | 02:27 |
| ubuntu-lover | ramapge:but i hv to install fresh one? | 02:27 |
| olskolirc | never mind. found one | 02:27 |
| harpreet | Darlok_Williams, you have the change into the directory where you have extracted java, then you type apt-get update then next command will be install command | 02:28 |
| Rampage | ubuntu-lover: sorry, i'm getting a little lost. I mean download gparted live cd iso, then burn it to cd, then restart your computer with htat cd in the drive and use it to shrink the windows partition and make a partition for ubuntu. | 02:28 |

| Darlok_Williams | Flannel: Forgive me... I have no idea what a symlink is or how to create it. | 02:59 |

| distatica | I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed, I was running Gnome for a bit and using a feature from Compiz where I could hit a key and get a display of all my workspaces then select with arrow keys and hit enter.

| Segnale007 | I am getting an soekris net5501-70 | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Darlok_Williams: No, a symlink is more like a ... shortcut. But yes, it juts tells the system where to find the original. This is different than a hard link, which "is" the file, (and if you have a hardlink a, and create a hardlink b, pointing to the same file, and then deletehardlink a, the data remains) | 03:05 |
| Segnale007 | and I want to build a voip there | 03:05 |
| Flannel | Darlok_Williams: If you make a symlink b, to file a, then delete file a, the file is deleted, and b dangles | 03:05 |
| Segnale007 | but I never build one before | 03:05 |

| Loganhoup | excuse me, but can someone help me configure X to use my ATI graphics driver. I can't seem to get direct rendering working | 03:08 |
| musikgoat | man what are you trying to do? you have access to the filesystem with your operating system | 03:08 |
| ubunubi | cdavis: do you have compiz fusion already working/installed? | 03:08 |
| puff | Loganhoup: Did you use System/ADministration/Hardware Manager to enable the proprietary ATI driver? | 03:08 |
| Loganhoup | yes | 03:08 |
| distatica | Pixeltime, I don't think that's what I'm after. In Gnome I was able to push a button and it would zoom out and show all workspaces (I believe this is called Expose but I'm not sure, Expose seems to be all open programs on a workspace...) | 03:08 |

| Loganhoup | but when trying to use a game called alephone. it doesn't work well at all | 03:09 |
| musikgoat | !vm | 03:09 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:09 |
| BobCFC | cdavis: have you installed emerald? | 03:09 |
| man | by accessing my hardrive with my windows working | 03:09 |
| distatica | Pixeltime, this way I could use multiple workspaces and just quickly flip between them. Something similar to this is the cube thing, but I prefer this over any cube. | 03:09 |
| musikgoat | man: read the comment by ubottu | 03:10 |
| Loganhoup | when entering the command: glxinfo | grep rendering I get :direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 03:10 |

| distatica | man, for what it's worth I adore VirtualBox, if you're not in a commercial environment get the non community version as it has USB support. | 03:11 |
| Pixeltime | I dont think there is a show all, but I am sure there are applets that do it | 03:11 |
| distatica | man, he did. | 03:11 |

| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: is swap size>RAM size? | 03:35 |
| dthacker | Hi, I'm trying to rip an mp3 using grip. I have installed liblame0. Is that an encoder or a library that supports an encoder? | 03:36 |
| ubunubi | anirudh0: fastest way to check? | 03:36 |
| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: i think you'd know your ram size..to check swap size open up system monitor.and check the "disks" section | 03:37 |
| tritium | ubunubi: one way: cat /proc/swaps, and look at the "Size" field | 03:37 |
| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: for hibernate to work swap must be more than ram | 03:37 |
| ubunubi | I've got 2GB of Ram ...cat /proc/swaps says 976552 | 03:37 |

| puff | Loganhoup: Okay, so I'm researching these via google and I'm coming up with some indications that it's a contradictory situation. Why do you want direct rendering? | 03:38 |
| ubunubi | Anirudh: That makes sense...I'm using a Wubi install at the moment...not quite sure how to adjust that swap size for testing | 03:38 |
| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: sorry..my knowledge of wubi is non-existent | 03:38 |

| spreda | after weeks of trying to get 8.04 (64 bit & 386) to run on a gigabyte GA-K8VM800M mobo I dug out an old 566mhz hp with 4.3gb hard drive, which workd first go. I have added another drie, formatted a partition, added a fs. can I call it /home, and copy the files from the folder in / on the 4.3, or call it / also? the 4.3 is almost full. (naturally) | 03:40 |
| hlbb | wine dosn't work well on AMD. | 03:40 |
| anirudh0_ | Loganhoup: the 6fps is explained by indirect rendering..the sofware(mesa) is doing all the hard work instead of the graohics hardware..which is meant to | 03:41 |
| * anirudh0_ wonders if its mesa or vesa | 03:41 | |
| crdlb | well, not necessarily; indirect rendering isn't always software rendering | 03:41 |
| draco1889 | does anyoen know why firefox would be unable to connect to http://localhost/phpmyadmin but it connects to http://localhost just fine? | 03:41 |
| puff | anirudh0_: mesa according to a grep I had him do on fglrxinfo | 03:42 |
| BoltClock | dracto1889: is PMA in that directory? | 03:42 |
| BoltClock | draco1889: is PMA in that directory? | 03:42 |
| Loganhoup | anirudh0:so what do I have to do? | 03:42 |
| crdlb | anirudh0_: VESA is the generic driver (and monitor spec), mesa is the open source OpengGL implementation | 03:42 |
| draco1889 | BoltClock: there's an Alias for it, /phpmyadmin -> /usr/share/phpmyadmin - i installedt he phpmyadmin package | 03:42 |
| puff | tyler_: Ever since the kernel update 5-6 days ago, my laptop has been crashier and crashier. | 03:42 |
| anirudh0_ | puff: crdlb: that clears it up :) | 03:43 |
| anirudh0_ | Loganhoup: post your xorg.conf | 03:43 |
| Loganhoup | what command to do that again? | 03:43 |
| tyler_ | puff_: i can barley watch youtube now its gettign annoying because i have a busienss to run. | 03:44 |
| BoltClock | draco1889: well im not sure - ive never been good with aliases :/ | 03:44 |
| anirudh0_ | Loganhoup: post the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on pastebin..open using any text editor | 03:44 |
| ubunubi | Anirudh0: In response to your comment about Indirect not always being software rendering:: I can play World of Warcraft at 1900x1200, full screen and get 60FPS with my ATI HD 3850...but I have DirectRendering=No....what's rendering my WoW then? is my quad core just picking upthe slack? | 03:44 |
| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: check the renderer...glxinfo|grep string | 03:45 |
| Firefishe | wow ubunubi! quite a system there | 03:45 |
| BoltClock | hi, i have ubuntu hardy and windows xp installed in two separate disks. is there a way i can get my windows disk to automatically mount when i start ubuntu? i access it almost all the time for my windows files | 03:45 |

| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: whats the "OpenGL renderer string" ? | 03:46 |

| Loganhoup | anirudh0_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/18634/ | 03:47 |

| thenetduck | can some one help me with my computer? | 03:47 |
| thenetduck | :) | 03:47 |
| ubunubi | some other fglrx command i found in a how-to that i typed told me no DRI can't recall the command | 03:48 |
| Linolium | hi, I've got a silly question | 03:48 |
| Linolium | can any of you help me with ld? | 03:48 |
| zaccour | hey everyone | 03:48 |
| anirudh0_ | crdlb: iirc there needs to be a "DRI Enabled | 03:48 |
| zaccour | does having an xbox 360 make me a linux traitor? lol | 03:48 |
| anirudh0_ | crdlb: in Loganhoup 's xorg.conf..could you help me figure out where though.. | 03:49 |
| anirudh0_ | Linolium: the linker? | 03:49 |
| Linolium | ani: yes | 03:49 |
| ubunubi | anirudh0: glxinfo | grep direct outputs "direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)" | 03:49 |
| thenetduck | I need help on my 64 bit machine getting a virtual machine to work. Can anyone help me? | 03:49 |
| obf213 | hey guys im all of a sudden having a problem with the sound on my normal dependable vlc player. the sound seems to just cut off. then not work until i restart x | 03:50 |
| ubunubi | obf213: are you webbrowsing flash videos off the web when it happens? | 03:50 |
| zaccour | obf213 did ya try a fresh install of ubuntu? it only takes 20 minutes | 03:50 |
| Linolium | do any of you know of a good channel that can help me with ld? | 03:50 |
| Linolium | <Rugxulo> not really | 03:50 |
| Linolium | oops | 03:51 |
| obf213 | ubunubi: you tube is open | 03:51 |
| crdlb | Loganhoup: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is far more useful for debugging | 03:51 |
| obf213 | ubunubi: althought its current not playing, i havent noticed a trend with it though it occurs when firefox is closed as well | 03:51 |
| crdlb | ubunubi: that's just because you're starting a terminal via compiz | 03:51 |
| Linolium | I have a linker question: I am using ld for my generated code but it is giving jmp calls the wrong address ie. 0x80000300 instead of 0x00000300 Does anyone know what ld option can fix this? | 03:51 |
| ubunubi | obf213: it's a known issue..i just saw a posting about it..you need to install a quick patch to make flash not mangle your sound | 03:51 |
| crdlb | ubunubi: compiz must be started with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 when using AIGLX, so it passes that on to children when it runs things | 03:52 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: some help here being a linux newbie.. i tried reading the guides that i found by googling but im still not sure how to modify /etc/fstab for my purpose | 03:52 |
| Linolium | my .map file has .=(0x80000000+SIZEOF_HEADERS) | 03:52 |
| ubunubi | crdlb: so i'm really getting direct rendering? despite the output of that command? | 03:52 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: open up fstab...see the format used there..if you still have questions then come back | 03:52 |
| crdlb | ubunubi: if you 'unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT', glxinfo will report 'Yes' | 03:53 |
| led | this is trivel so take your time for this answer but I would like a different sound meter osd then that crapy speaker and volume bar something like a tv has the little lines or something any ideas? | 03:53 |
| ubunubi | crdlb: and pardon my ignorance, is that a benefit to me? will that increase my WoW framerates further? | 03:53 |
| anirudh0_ | crdlb: is;nt a DRI Enabled needed in xorg.conf then? | 03:53 |
| anirudh0_ | ubunubi: a better driver from ATI ;) | 03:53 |
| crdlb | anirudh0_: no, but there should be some sort of message about that in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:54 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: after the path to the other drives (cd, floppy) i see a list of arguments but dont really understand them | 03:54 |
| Loganhoup | http://paste.ubuntu.com/18636/ | 03:54 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: just add "defaults 0 0" | 03:54 |
| Loganhoup | is the xorg0.log or whatever | 03:54 |
| crdlb | ubunubi: most likely, you're running WoW without LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT anyway. It's only terminals (and other apps) started via compiz keybindings that have that problem | 03:54 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: huh? | 03:54 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: "defaults" is generally good enough...and use ntfs-3g as the driver, if the win partition is ntfs | 03:54 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: one sec..post your fstab..i'll edit it and post again | 03:55 |
| crdlb | Loganhoup: looks good; what does: 'xvinfo | grep -i xgl' say? | 03:55 |
| ubunubi | crdlb: good to know. wanted to make sure I wasn't gimping my WoW framerates. I'm happy with them, but wasn't sure how I was getting them since I thought I was software rendering | 03:55 |
| Loganhoup | anirudh0_:Adaptor #0: "Xgl Generic Texture Video" | 03:55 |
| obf213 | ubunubi, any ideas as to search terms u used when u saw the posting? | 03:56 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18639 | 03:56 |
| crdlb | Loganhoup: ok, uninstall xserver-xgl, restart X, and you'll have direct rendering | 03:56 |
| linuxpenguin207 | wouldn't a .deb package have a smaller file size than tar.gz files? | 03:56 |
| anirudh0_ | crdlb: see line 806 | 03:56 |
| crdlb | anirudh0_: what about it? | 03:57 |
| tyler_ | Can anyone get iTunes working on Ubuntu | 03:57 |
| ubunubi | obf213: let me think a few minutes and see if i can track it down....I've spent over 12hrs today fixing 1 gnome related isssues and my brain is fried | 03:57 |
| obf213 | ubunubi, and just to clarify this only happens with vlc | 03:57 |
| crdlb | linuxpenguin207: usually, yes | 03:57 |
| anirudh0_ | crdlb: i thought it indicated successful initialization... | 03:57 |
| obf213 | ubunubi, don't worry about it if u can't think of it real quick, ill just use another video player | 03:57 |
| obf213 | its just peculilar thats all | 03:57 |
| omni | hi all | 03:58 |
| crdlb | anirudh0_: it does, the server side is fine. his problem is that Xgl is installed and running | 03:58 |
| Loganhoup | ok thanks | 03:58 |
| linuxpenguin207 | tyler_: no, apple blocks it. you can try gtkpod or amarok | 03:58 |

| m_newton | how to play .mov files on ubuntu ??? | 03:58 |
| Loganhoup | ? | 03:58 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18640/ | 03:58 |
| crdlb | Loganhoup: no, it's the old way to run compiz; an abstraction layer essentially | 03:58 |
| Odd-rationale | m_newton: easiet way is to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 03:59 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: got it, i'll take it from there | 03:59 |
| crdlb | the ATI driver in hardy can run compiz directly now | 03:59 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: i assume your win partiton is ntfs | 03:59 |
| BoltClock | it is | 03:59 |
| Loganhoup | so how do I uninstall it? | 03:59 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: before i edit, do i have to umount it first? | 03:59 |
| Loganhoup | I'm a buntu noob | 03:59 |
| m_newton | Odd-rationale, i did, but to no avail, let me purg and try again (ANY other sugestions on hot to play .mov files) | 03:59 |
| Odd-rationale | m_newton: then try using vlc | 04:00 |
| luca662 | Is there a way to get grub boot loader onto my flash drive? | 04:00 |
| anirudh0_ | BoltClock: nope..you have to reload the file with sudo mount -a..before that you must unmount..if mount point is same that is | 04:00 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0_: ok | 04:00 |
| m_newton | Odd-rationale, on the internet? | 04:00 |
| yell0w | has anyone succesfully use compose key with X ? | 04:00 |
| Dontais | hey all, i'm haveing some dificulty with a wireless setup for ubuntu and can't seem to set it up | 04:00 |
| m_newton | Odd-rationale, the plugin in horid | 04:01 |
| crdlb | Loganhoup: 'sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl' would be one way | 04:01 |
| anirudh0_ | m_newton: .mov are generally quicktime..mplayer can play them..use the firefox plugin | 04:01 |
| Odd-rationale | m_newton: no, just the normal vlc player | 04:01 |
| anirudh0_ | Loganhoup: try --purge remove | 04:01 |
| anirudh0_ | m_newton: you need w32codecs ofcourse | 04:01 |

| anirudh0 | is there a way to make wine look like other ubuntu apps..rather than the win98 kind of look? | 04:08 |

| anirudh0 | BoltClock: mount -a essentially reads your fstab..and does what it asked in it..so you might want to recheck your drive name.. the mount point should exist previously | 04:09 |
| client1 | nothing but i'm fuse | 04:09 |
| anirudh0 | bullgard4: nothing much to it..its like tracker | 04:09 |

| anirudh0 | bullgard4: and locate searches through that database | 04:10 |
| chubs730 | lucky711x: if you want to setup a hardware RAID, what sort of setting up would you do in ubuntu? | 04:10 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock: yes..and make sure you have permissions on it | 04:10 |

| BoltClock | anirudh0: i know im the admin user... or something | 04:11 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock: not secure..but sudo mkdir -p /media/disk...then sudo chmod 777 /media/disk | 04:11 |
| anirudh0 | BoltClock: you could have better permissions than 777..but atleast it will work | 04:11 |
| BoltClock | anirudh0: any more secure way? | 04:11 |

| pen | anirudh0, I have changed my mouse, and it still | 04:21 |
| anirudh0 | pen: not likely..but you could try disabling compiz | 04:21 |
| anirudh0 | pen: optical mouse on a perfectly white surface? | 04:21 |
| Romanian | lucky711x: With a RAID controller? | 04:21 |
| chubs730 | lucky711x: the point of a hardware RAID is that you don't set it up in the operating system | 04:21 |

| Rezagrats | Nickrud: i was hoping you could tell me where i could find the templates | 04:59 |

| SonicComKid | Okay then, so even if I use a thrid party boot loader, Ubuntu will be okay without a /boot ? | 05:00 |

| CUBeR64 | Beh: Okay, well I've had this issue many times, and it actually got worse as ubuntu had its later versions, my solution was to look up my monitor model, find out its horizontal and vertical refresh rates and manually set it in the X.org settings file | 05:03 |
| nickrud | Get_A_Fix put the original home back, and run sudo chown <username>:<username> /home/<username>/.dmrc && chmod 600 /home/<usrname>/.dmrc | 05:03 |

| SonicComKid | Ubuntu didn't install GRUB at all, but I told it to install the boot loader to the MBR | 05:29 |
| sweetgum | anyone know how to access mkinitrd in ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| Alan_M | SonicComKid, you can try the supergrup disk to try to restore grub (its there..i think...we just gotta find it) | 05:29 |
| Starnestommy | sweetgum: I think it's mkinitramfs | 05:30 |

| SonicComKid | I shouldn't need to install Supergrub, if Ubuntu is supposed to install it's own boot loader with it | 05:31 |
| Starnestommy | [b]b_: no, that replaces foo with bar. To remove everything before 'foo' in the whole file, sed 's/$(.*)foo//s' | 05:31 |
| nickrud | draeath clean now? | 05:31 |
| stan | hello dears all | 05:31 |
| draeath | Indeed. Thanks! | 05:31 |
| SonicComKid | Humm.. ah.. I bet I know what's going on. I have to set Ubuntu's partition as active | 05:31 |
| gaze__ | never heard of supergrub... generally you call grub, tell it your root disk and partition where /boot resides | 05:32 |
| gaze__ | and then install | 05:32 |
| gaze__ | grub-install is a script to automate that | 05:32 |
| stan | please help me... my internal microphone on hp pavilion 6730er does not work =( | 05:32 |
| SonicComKid | I don't have /boot I was told to not make that partition | 05:32 |
| gaze__ | you don't need a /boot partition, but there should be a /boot directory | 05:32 |
| crdlb | nickrud: TacoCabana is still here | 05:32 |
| gaze__ | the kernel and stuff lives there | 05:32 |
| FrozenInferno | SonicComKid: Make sure when you're installing Ubuntu that you make the Ubuntu partition a Primary, not a logical. | 05:32 |
| FrozenInferno | Also: How do I remove the Recent Documents list from the Places menu? | 05:33 |
| draeath | gotta run, ready to reboot (only wanted to ask about that LTSP chroot item) | 05:33 |
| slowz | \ | 05:33 |
| SonicComKid | FrozenInferno, it is a Primary. I think what happened was that Ubuntu isn't loading because it's not set as 'active' | 05:33 |
| nickrud | crdlb I'll take your word for it | 05:33 |
| crdlb | nickrud: same IP and realname :) | 05:33 |
| FrozenInferno | SonicComKid: oh, ok, just checking. That happened to me once... | 05:33 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 05:33 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 05:33 |

| dfgas | is there something i have to do to install kde4? i did a apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and it looked like i installed kde3 | 05:34 |
| Starnestommy | dfgas: I think that is kde3 | 05:34 |
| draeath | SonicComKid: IRC is nice, but it doesn't work well for high-levels of users... that is the server managing the load | 05:34 |
| SonicComKid | Starnestommy, that's if I want to remake GRUB after installing windows. I DID NOT INSTALL WINDOWS | 05:34 |
| nickolaus | I installed Hardy and just got the following after grub "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist" "Press any key to continue..." | 05:34 |

| amenado | FrozenInferno-> its not essential to have ubuntu boot from a primary partition | 05:35 |
| Starnestommy | SonicComKid: no, the thing ubottu said about netsplits. That's what caued the quits and joins | 05:35 |
| SonicComKid | draeath, ah, so one of the nodes keeps dropping | 05:35 |
| stan | hey, who can help me... ? my inetrnal mic does not work, on hp laptop! it is a hp pavilion 6730er with NVidia (MCP67 and Conexant ) i have installed new alsa drivers, unmute all mics etc... but mic does not work... | 05:35 |
| SonicComKid | Starnestommy, oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about GRUB again | 05:36 |
| draeath | SonicComKid: maybe, i dont know WHY they stop talking (i only really looked into the IRC client protocol, not server) | 05:36 |
| spikemcc | bonjour , mon ordinateur refuse d'installer windows ou prend 1-5 minutes de plus pour démarer sur windows apres l'essai d'ubuntu !!! hi , my pc refuse to install windows or take 1-5 minutes to boot after I tried ubuntu !!! | 05:36 |
| gaze__ | spikemcc: Personne ici ne parle français, ok ? Allez à #ubuntu-franc | 05:36 |
| Starnestommy | SonicComKid: as for the thing about grub, some of the same instructions can be used for restoring grub even fi you didn't install windows | 05:36 |

| agitdd99 | i'm so happy and thankful to all opensorce-people... | 05:38 |
| spikemcc | liberate me of ubuntu i wanna have windows back without a 5 min booting !!! | 05:38 |
| anirudh0 | dfgas: sorry...kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 05:38 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: then just install windows over it | 05:38 |
| anirudh0 | spikemcc: install over ubuntu..that is , overwrite the ubuntu partition | 05:38 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: ubuntu having been installed probably didn't cause thid | 05:38 |
| [b]b_ | Starnestommy: i got with this : sed 's/\(.*\)foo//g' | 05:38 |
| In-Sane`` | is it possible to install kde inside gnome? | 05:38 |
| Starnestommy | *this | 05:38 |
| spikemcc | it don't wanna install or it boot in 5 minutes | 05:39 |
| anirudh0 | In-Sane``: that statement does not make sense | 05:39 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: you want it to boot faster? | 05:39 |
| FrozenInferno | I would really like to know how to disable or remove the Recent Documents from the Places menu? | 05:39 |
| gaze__ | spikemcc: If you reinstall windows, everything will be reset | 05:39 |
| gaze__ | you'll boot windows in normal time | 05:39 |
| dfgas | anirudh0: do i need some repo enabled? | 05:39 |
| anirudh0 | spikemcc: boot in recovery mode..that will tell you why it takes so lonk to boot | 05:39 |
| nickrud | In-Sane`` install kubuntu-desktop , then you can choose either gnome or kde under options->sessions on the login screen | 05:39 |
| In-Sane`` | anirudh0: I know, it sounds dumb but I am new to ubuntu :( | 05:39 |
| spikemcc | hey i was booting in 30 sec now in 5 minutes cause of this ubuntu shit | 05:39 |
| anirudh0 | dfgas: its in hardy-backports i think..see kubuntu.org for more detailed instructions | 05:39 |
| In-Sane`` | nickrud: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? | 05:40 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: someone in ##windows probably knows how to fix it | 05:40 |
| nickrud | In-Sane`` exactly | 05:40 |
| gaze__ | spikemcc: alternatively, get into the recovery console, type fixmbr, reboot, and delete your ubuntu partitions | 05:40 |
| In-Sane`` | nickrud: ok. thanks | 05:40 |
| gaze__ | and then resize your windows partitions to fill the disk | 05:40 |
| spikemcc | hey my prob is with your shit not with window | 05:40 |
| spikemcc | s | 05:40 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: watch your language | 05:40 |
| nickrud | !language | spikemcc | 05:40 |

| gaze__ | spikemcc: What do you want, do you want ubuntu gone? | 05:40 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: and it's windows that's booting slow, not ubuntu, so it's a windows problem | 05:40 |
| dfgas | anirudh0: thank you very much | 05:40 |
| spikemcc | yes | 05:40 |
| anirudh0 | spikemcc: shit is supposed to be used more sparingly ;) | 05:40 |
| gaze__ | I'm telling you how to get rid of ubuntu | 05:41 |

| === lightrush is now known as lightrush_ | ||
| FrozenInferno | I would really like to know how to disable or remove the Recent Documents from the Places menu. | 05:41 |
| spikemcc | I wanna get rid of it fast and simply !!! | 05:41 |
| gaze__ | recovery console, type fixmbr, reboot, delete ubuntu partitions, resize windows partitions to fill, or alternatively put in a windows cd and reinstall | 05:41 |
| gaze__ | the second is fast and easy | 05:41 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: open a partition editor and delete the ubuntu partition with it | 05:41 |
| spikemcc | done | 05:41 |
| gaze__ | the first preserves your windows partition | 05:41 |
| PennyCostco | hey guys I accidentally renamed my /etc/hosts file.. now when I try to fix it it says it cant resolve my host name... what can I do? | 05:42 |
| gaze__ | starnestommy: Bad idea, boot partition tells grub to chainload windows | 05:42 |
| gaze__ | windows won't boot now | 05:42 |
| SonicComKid | Starnestommy, people keep saying 'restoreing grub' I'm saying the stupid thing didn't seem to install in the first place. I can't restore it if I didn't install in the first place. Again, I think all that happened is that GRUB installed itself onto the Ubuntu partition, and thus because a different parition is active, it's not looking for the GRUB boot loader, I have to just set Ubuntu's partition is active | 05:42 |
| spikemcc | i used gparted to destroy all partitions and fdisk /mbr after | 05:42 |
| anirudh0 | spikemcc: s’il vous plaît nos instructions lit plus attentivement, monsieur | 05:42 |
| agitdd99 | what's the shortcut for displaying terminal in real fast? | 05:43 |
| gaze__ | fdisk /mbr should have gotten rid of grub | 05:43 |
| Starnestommy | PennyCostco: go into recovery mode at the boot prompt | 05:43 |
| spikemcc | not at all it seem | 05:43 |
| anirudh0 | agitdd99: you can add one in sys>prefs>keyboard shortcuts | 05:43 |
| gaze__ | spikemcc: Then reinstall windows, or try recovery console/fixmbr | 05:43 |
| legend2440 | In-Sane``: i was on here yesterday as SgtSchultz and we were working on your ati drivers. are they still working? | 05:43 |
| anirudh0 | agitdd99: or use tilda | 05:43 |
| spikemcc | fixmbr is done | 05:44 |
| gaze__ | cool, did that help at all? | 05:44 |
| === lightrush_ is now known as lightrush | ||
| spikemcc | nope still a ubuntu scrap inside | 05:44 |
| FrozenInferno | Look, I know you guys help a lot of people with a lot of difficult problems. So the faster you can help my simple one, the faster I can be outta here. So, I would really like to know how to disable or remove the Recent Documents from the Places menu, if it's possible. | 05:44 |
| gaze__ | spikemcc: have a little respect for ubuntu, kay? Plenty of people have put a lot of hours into it. | 05:45 |
| gaze__ | so what sign of ubuntu is there, it just boots really slowly? | 05:45 |
| agitdd99 | anirudh0:thanks man... | 05:45 |
| PennyCostco | how can I get around the sudo security thing? it doesnt let me fix my /etc/hosts | 05:45 |
| Starnestommy | PennyCostco: use recovery mode | 05:45 |
| PennyCostco | Starnestommy, how do i get there? | 05:45 |
| anirudh0 | agitdd99: np..if you are on kde ,look at yakuake..awesome app | 05:45 |
| nickrud | FrozenInferno you can try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91154 | 05:45 |
| spikemcc | hours to get my computer slower as hell yeah !!! | 05:46 |
| AaronH | FrozenInferno, goto Places>Recent Documents>Clear Recent Documents | 05:46 |
| anirudh0 | spikemcc: slower than vista? | 05:46 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: go to ##windows and ask them how to fix it. This is entirely a windows problem | 05:46 |
| PennyCostco | Starnestommy, how do i get in the recovery mode? | 05:46 |
| FrozenInferno | AaronH: Yeah, I can empty it, I wanted to know how to disable it. nickrud: Thanks muchly! :) | 05:46 |
| gaze__ | yeah, ##windows may be of more help. sorry | 05:47 |
| nickrud | FrozenInferno it talks about making it read only | 05:47 |
| spikemcc | slower then vista on a 386 imagine | 05:47 |
| Starnestommy | PennyCostco: reboot, press ESC at the prompt, then select the recovery mode and press enter | 05:47 |
| PennyCostco | thx man | 05:47 |
| nickrud | FrozenInferno haven't tried it myself, could you let me know if it works | 05:47 |
| spikemcc | no it's a ubuntu problem so you get it off | 05:47 |
| Starnestommy | PennyCostco: you should be logged in as root afterwards, so commands won't need sudo | 05:47 |
| spikemcc | i even cannot boot my windows cd now | 05:47 |
| anirudh0 | spikemcc: last post to you..you could try other desktop environments(xfce,kde,enlightenment,fluxbox) to see if it makes a difference in speed | 05:48 |
| FrozenInferno | nickrud: Sure, gimme a minute to try it. | 05:48 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 05:48 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i just installed ubuntu studio and lost one of my scripts. It was real simple but i can´t seem to remember the command. I used it to replace compiz with metacity before suspending. can anyone help me? the command went something along the lines of ¨sudo -u wolfie DISPLAY=¨0 | 05:48 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 05:48 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: then it could be a BIOS problem | 05:48 |
| spikemcc | what ??? | 05:48 |
| spikemcc | bios is the same as ever | 05:48 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: It is probably a BIOS or hardware problem then | 05:48 |
| ezzieyguywuf | ¨sudo -u wolfie DISPLAY=¨0:0¨ metacity --replace | 05:48 |
| nickrud | spikemcc that sounds like a bios issue, if you can't boot the cd. Ubuntu has nothing going on that early in the boot sequence | 05:48 |
| ezzieyguywuf | i´m having problems with the ¨DISPLAY¨ part of it | 05:48 |
| anirudh0 | ezzieyguywuf: wolfie is specific to you..a simple metacity --replace should do it though | 05:49 |
| ezzieyguywuf | anirduh0: it does but the script needs to run by itself and it requests more permissions, hence the sudo, and then it also needs to know which display to apply it to, otherwise it gives me an error | 05:49 |
| spikemcc | bios cannot be modified without my permission so it's ubuntu | 05:49 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: is ubuntu or windows slow here? | 05:50 |
| Starnestommy | spikemcc: if it's windiows that;s slow, then it is a problem with windows | 05:50 |
| Starnestommy | *windows | 05:50 |
| anirudh0 | Starnestommy: leave him please..he's trolling | 05:50 |
| spikemcc | windows boot don't work or is slower after I tried ubuntu not before | 05:50 |
| spikemcc | i'm not trolling i like ubuntu but this time he lock me | 05:51 |
| Starnestommy | it's most likely a problem with windows, so ask someone in ##windows | 05:52 |
| FrozenInferno | nickrud: it didn't seem to work. I deleted everything in .recently-used, make it read-only, and opened a text file. .recently-used is still empty, but the file I opened still shows up under recent documents | 05:52 |

| bocaneri | Mplayer on hardy heron can't play the movie on my dvd, but xine can. Why? | 06:45 |
| anirudh0_ | poland: fdisk -l iirc | 06:45 |

| K^Holtz | I have an NTFS external HDD. Ubuntu will not mount it, it says there was problem. It also says that I could force the mount, but I'm affraid to do that, could i lose my data? | 06:46 |

| akalias | Is it possible to have independant virtual desktops for each monitor? | 06:46 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: its because of improper shutdown under win | 06:46 |
| bocaneri | anirudh0, somebody in this channel shared the existence of medibuntu.org. That's what got Xine running. | 06:46 |
| anirudh0_ | poland: sudo fdisk -l | 06:46 |
| oddalot | akalias that sounds ridiculous | 06:46 |
| anirudh0_ | bocaneri: it was me i think ;) | 06:47 |
| K^Holtz | anirudh0_: Yea, thats what it was saying, the problem is, my laptop crashed, and i cant load it back up | 06:47 |
| anirudh0_ | akalias: yes i think..but you'll have to google quite a bit | 06:47 |
| bocaneri | Well, if it was you, I thank you profusely; I'm watching my movie now, but I really REALLY like mplayer. | 06:47 |
| K^Holtz | anirudh0_: if i put the HDD into another windows machine and properly disconnect it, will that fix? | 06:47 |

| luddite | the images in webpages in firefox on ubuntu hardy 8.04 are a little bit blocky - how can this be fixed? | 06:47 |
| anirudh0_ | *does'nt harm data | 06:47 |
| akalias | anirudh0: thanks :) | 06:47 |
| K^Holtz | anirudh0_: force does what? erase the data? | 06:47 |
| bocaneri | luddite, what version of firefox are you using? | 06:48 |
| Madpilot | luddite, find webpages with better quality images? | 06:48 |
| akalias | I use GoScreen on windows and I have become used to multiple virtual desktops and the short cut keys are ingrained | 06:48 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: nope..when there;s an improper shutdown, win sets a "dirty" flag for the hd..this tells win to scan hd for error on next boot | 06:48 |
| bocaneri | I'm running firefox 3, and it IS a tad bit "blockier". | 06:48 |
| K^Holtz | anirudh0_: i dont want to question you, but your positive? i have very crucial data on the drive | 06:48 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: when the ntfs driver sees the "dirty" flag, it hesitates to mount | 06:48 |
| luddite | Firefox Beta 3.05b as it came with the install | 06:48 |
| Kirill | is there a separate channel for Ubuntu Server discussions? | 06:49 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: run ntfsfix first then | 06:49 |
| K^Holtz | anirudh0_: what is that? | 06:49 |
| luddite | Madpilot: those pages dont interst me ;-) | 06:49 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: its a part of the ntfsprogs package..like fsck for linux filesystem | 06:49 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: roughly like CHKDSK on win | 06:49 |
| luddite | bocaneri : i find that a little weir | 06:49 |
| luddite | d | 06:49 |
| Madpilot | luddite, heh. Seriously, are you sure it's just the browser? Install Opera or a browser w/ no connection to Firefox, and try the same pages there. | 06:50 |
| K^Holtz | anirudh0_: so i will connect the HDD then what? | 06:50 |
| anirudh0_ | K^Holtz: sudo mount -vt ntfs-3g /dev/<device> <mount-point> -o force | 06:50 |

| bocaneri | Kick me in the butt, man.... five minutes ago, mplayer just was NOT dealing with this dvd at ALL. I've done NOTHING in that five minutes. Now, it's working. | 06:54 |
| bocaneri | This "deferred ldconfig" thing, could that be what happened, when I ran apt-get? | 06:54 |

| bocaneri | Something happened. | 06:54 |
| zimnyx | Hello | 06:54 |
| zimnyx | for example I set up authentec fingerprint scanner for shell with normal password prompt as fallback. In shell it works fine - when I do incorrect scan password prompt is displayed, but in gnome there is no fallback after wrong scan. | 06:54 |
| Starnestommy | bocaneri: if you install a library, ldconfig sometimes needs to be run in order for linkers to recognize it | 06:55 |
| bocaneri | But there was nothing to LINK, as far as I KNOW...!! | 06:55 |
| bocaneri | Oh, well. Sucker works now. | 06:56 |
| anirudh0_ | zimnyx: you need to modify pam settings..i dont remeber exactly..so please google..pam must be set to "fingerprint sufficient" rather than "fingerprint required | 06:56 |
| zimnyx | anirudh0_: I know that, but what pam settings are for gnome apps? | 06:57 |

| cabrioleur | nickolaus, there should be an option to mount the partition. you can do it manually with "gnome-mount -d /dev/sdxx" where sdxx is the partition on your hard drive. But there should be an option as well. | 07:35 |

| ibanez | when setting up grub | 07:39 |
| bense | i'e used just about all of those | 07:40 |
| ibanez | did you put start automatically | 07:40 |
| ibanez | instead of a delay | 07:40 |
| scubacuda | comkid: uh oh..you killed it and need to set up that boot partition | 07:40 |
| scubacuda | comkid: i'm reading over that link now... | 07:40 |
| ComKid | XP started with absolutely no sign of any boot loader | 07:40 |
| kdiggdy | so anyone? Please :-D i promise this wont take long | 07:40 |
| kajo | bense, mplayer runs in terminal if that helps. | 07:40 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, I "killed it"? | 07:40 |
| cabrioleur | bense, try mdp. It's a little more than you are asking for, but should suit you well. | 07:40 |
| Bodsda | ComKid, reboot, go to your system bios, make sure that the ubuntu disk is the first in the boot dvice list, alternatively install grub to the windows disk | 07:40 |
| scubacuda | comkid: do you need to recover stuff off your ubuntu drive? | 07:40 |
| scubacuda | comkid: no, it's still there... | 07:40 |

| cabrioleur | bense, sorry, mpd | 07:41 |
| scubacuda | comkid: wow, i wish i had this howto a few years ago...lol | 07:41 |
| ComKid | Bodsda, my BIOS is already set to boot the disk Ubuntu is on, it's on partition 3 (primary), XP is on partion 1 (primary, active) | 07:41 |
| nonix4 | kajo: check mixer settings and cable connections | 07:41 |
| kajo | nonix4, no- it just does not play. As in, the status bar doesn't move along the track; in mplayer, the seconds do not roll by; etc. | 07:41 |
| scubacuda | comkid: which ver you use? | 07:41 |
| ComKid | 8.04 I think | 07:41 |
| ComKid | whichever is the newest | 07:42 |

| Sanketsu | Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu might not let me log in normally? I've got to use Gnome failsafe to get in on 8.04 but everything is fine with 7.10. I'm on an HP pavilion a1330n. I try to log in and the screen goes to the creme color I'm used to, it sits for a few seconds, then the lower quarter or so of the screen goes black and a second later it kicks back to the log in screen. | 07:43 |
| scubacuda | comkid: you used the live cd to edit grub and stuff? | 07:43 |
| ComKid | I followed the quick start instructions exactly, and GRUB still isn't the MBR boot loader | 07:43 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, yes, that's where I entered the terminal and did the instructions | 07:43 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, it did exactly as it was expected to | 07:43 |
| nonix4 | kajo: hmm, does sound playback work if you first close your browser? It might be blocking the others, especially if that flash thing is running | 07:43 |
| kajo | nonix4, I am fairly sure I do, but I suppose that'd be the first thing to check. How do I see what codecs I have? | 07:43 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, however, no difference on boot | 07:43 |
| cabrioleur | Kaja, there might be 2 problems. The easy to fix is to install "alsa-oss" package. It's possible that your flash player is "stuffing" alsa. Other problem might be PulseAudio (sic!), which you can disable by killing it :-) or by script. | 07:44 |
| scubacuda | comkid: so, you see no grub menu? you know what that menu looks like, i assume...right? | 07:44 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, Litterally, the moment I'm past POST, XP's logo is there, no boot loader | 07:44 |
| kajo | nonix4, I didn't have the flash thing running at the time, nor that tab open, but I can try closing firefox... will try that, and respond in a few seconds. | 07:44 |
| Bodsda | ComKid, i believe its being installed on the wrong hdd,.,.you said ubuntu was primary boot device, what happens if windows is the primary boot device? | 07:44 |
| nickolaus | This is driving me nuts... I've never had this problem before. Why won't ubtunu load out of grub after the install. Why would I need to mount a partition? I've never had to do it before... | 07:44 |
| scubacuda | comkid: ok...you edited the right grub.conf file, right? | 07:44 |
| Bodsda | nickolaus, whats the prob? | 07:45 |
| scubacuda | comkid: you used the quckstart section? | 07:45 |
| ComKid | bodsda, Windows XP is on parititon 1, Ubuntu is on partition 3, of the SAME hard drive, I can't tell the boot order to be any more specific than physical hard drive | 07:45 |
| scubacuda | comkid: you got the devices right? | 07:45 |
| scubacuda | comkid: when you type in "fdisk -l" what do you get? | 07:45 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, I didn't edit the grub.conf file. it didn't tell me to do so | 07:45 |
| Bodsda | ComKid, ah, kk,.,.can i pm you? | 07:45 |
| scubacuda | comkid: gotcha... | 07:45 |
| scubacuda | comkid: but did you change the disk 0,0 or whatev to your environment? | 07:46 |
| cabrioleur | nickolaus, I noticed that before. That's why in advance I always mark the right drive (I caught Ubuntu trying to install on the first partition or cdrom drive (?) instead of mbr) | 07:46 |
| kajo | crap. nonix4, that was exactly it. As soon as I closed firefox, banshee started playing. I tried playing a song in mplayer in the terminal, and that played at the same time. What's the deal? | 07:46 |
| ComKid | scubacuda, when I type fdisk -l I get a lot of text, what do you want specifically? | 07:46 |
| scubacuda | spit that out for me | 07:46 |
| scubacuda | comkid: spit that out for me | 07:46 |
| Bodsda | !paste | ComKid | 07:46 |

| ComKid | /dev/sda1 is XP and /dev/sda3 is Ubuntu | 07:46 |
| scubacuda | comkid: that will tell me your hard drives and partitions | 07:46 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files in pastebin? | 07:46 |
| cabrioleur | kajo, you need to install "alsa-oss" package. After next restart you shouldn't notice the problem anymore. | 07:46 |

| ubottu | jerkface03: 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? | 08:06 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, please describe your problem/question | 08:07 |
| Sanketsu | Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu might not let me log in normally? I've got to use Gnome failsafe to get in on 8.04 but everything is fine with 7.10. I'm on an HP pavilion a1330n. I try to log in and the screen goes to the creme color I'm used to, it sits for a few seconds, then the lower quarter or so of the screen goes black and a second later it kicks back to the log in screen. | 08:07 |
| KyleK | give him time, slow typer? ;) | 08:07 |
| jerkface03 | what package am i supposed to install to get xlib/x11 working on dapper? i want to install it and get x11 over ssh working | 08:07 |
| jerkface03 | is that even possible? | 08:07 |
| legend2440 | ibanez: gnash-common is installed? try uninstalling it and see if it makes a difference | 08:07 |
| jerkface03 | would apt-get install xorg-dev do the trick? | 08:07 |
| KyleK | jerkface03: ask it for something like xeyes | 08:07 |
| nwp_ | jerkface03: you don't need a -dev package | 08:08 |
| jerkface03 | well I also need the dev libraries. header files/etc.. | 08:08 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop (it will install more than you need) | 08:08 |
| jerkface03 | nwp_: xorg itself doesn't seem to be available | 08:08 |
| Flannel | jerkface03: No you wont, just sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg | 08:08 |
| nwp_ | jerkface03: it should be | 08:08 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, sudo apt-get install install build-essential whateverpackage-youneed-dev | 08:08 |
| ibanez | i did un-install it legend2440, it didn't help | 08:09 |
| jerkface03 | Flannel: ? does that package come with header files and libraries such that i can develop apps using x11? | 08:09 |
| legend2440 | ibanez: oh ok | 08:09 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, run run a X app over ssh you dont need a xserver, you need the X client libraries, the exact librarires depend on the apps that you are going to run | 08:09 |
| Flannel | jerkface03: No, and actually, if oyu're doing this over SSH, you just want the X client stuff, not the xserver stuff. Are you really using X itself? or some higher toolkit? | 08:10 |
| joaopinto | if you are going to run gnome apps then you need the gtk2 libs | 08:10 |
| jerkface03 | Flannel: x itself. | 08:10 |
| jerkface03 | i got some stuff already going on cygwin, but cygwin != linux | 08:11 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, if you want to develop x apps, you just need to install the -dev package for whatever graphical toolkit you are going to use, again you do not need the xserver libs | 08:11 |
| Flannel | jerkface03: libx11-dev | 08:11 |
| === dave-c is now known as dave_c | ||
| jerkface03 | so libx11-dev will automatically set up x11 w/ ssh tunneling? | 08:11 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, uh ? installing a package has nothing to do with ssh tunneling, ssh tunneling is something that YOU setup with your ssh client | 08:12 |
| jerkface03 | joaopinto: can you please provide me with a link with the relevant instructions | 08:12 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, first let me tell that it's a very bad idea do do X apps development using a remote display | 08:13 |
| nwp_ | jerkface03: try breaking your request into two -- "what do I need installed to get X11 tunneling working?" and "what do I need to do X11 dev?" | 08:13 |
| jerkface03 | nwp_: right well the latter has already been answered :) | 08:13 |
| jerkface03 | joaopinto: i know it's the best idea in the world, but i'm trying to save myself another ubuntu install | 08:13 |
| === Harry_Potter is now known as Charitwo | ||
| joaopinto | jerkface03, if you are using a linux client, ssh -X, if you are using putty just enable the X11 forwarding option | 08:14 |
| zubair | when i am using "man nslookup" i see that seveal switches are not yet implemented.how do i implement them? | 08:14 |
| adam7 | is ubuntu-forum.com the same as ubuntuforums.org, just with a different url? | 08:14 |
| joaopinto | that is all you need to know about X11 tunelling over ssh | 08:14 |
| h2 | I'm getting an error when trying to dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, (xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration | 08:14 |
| h2 | file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.) any ideas? | 08:14 |
| joaopinto | zubair, hum ? which switches ? | 08:14 |
| joaopinto | h2, that's a a warning, you should ignore it... | 08:15 |
| CatCheeto | !ssh | 08:15 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 08:15 |

| joaopinto | h2, that is not related to the warning, the dpkg-reconfigure seems to be running sucesffull | 08:16 |
| jerkface03 | ahh, looks like apt-get update is giving me back a bunch of 404s | 08:16 |
| jerkface03 | sites must be down | 08:16 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, if you are using dapper you must change your sorces.lst to use old.releases.ubuntu.com | 08:16 |
| zubair | joaopinto here is the link http://pastebin.com/m748e8989 | 08:17 |
| joaopinto | Dapper is no longer available on the main repos | 08:17 |
| jerkface03 | is it outdated already? | 08:17 |
| jerkface03 | hrm k | 08:17 |
| jerkface03 | ty | 08:17 |
| joaopinto | Dapper is no longer supported | 08:17 |
| jerkface03 | maybe it's time to upgrade then :) | 08:17 |
| joaopinto | zubair, those are not switches, those are nslookup commands, and yes, they are supported, you just need to run nslookup interactive | 08:17 |

| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| joaopinto | zubair, ah, wait, you mean those described with "not implemented" ? | 08:18 |
| zubair | <joaopinto> yes like "ls", root, ? etc.. | 08:19 |
| joaopinto | zubair, well, those are not available, you coul check if some of those options are available with "dig" | 08:20 |
| ComKid | okay... now I tried both Quickstart and 'overwriting windows boot loader' in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows GRUB STILL won't appear | 08:20 |
| ComKid | XP just loads up as though it's the only OS | 08:20 |
| sparky_ | How do I get the burn animation when I close windows? Nothing I do seems to activate it (talking about Compiz-Fusion) | 08:21 |
| zubair | <joaopinto> but i was reading a book in which they are using those commands! is there any way i could implement those commands? | 08:21 |
| joaopinto | zubair, no | 08:22 |

| Kurtis- | I tried ndiswrapper - no luck | 08:24 |
| Kurtis- | tried b43-fwcutter - no luck | 08:24 |
| Kurtis- | Anyone know how to get that to work? | 08:24 |
| zubair | <joaopinto> got dissconnected.did u type anything? | 08:25 |
| ibanez | man | 08:25 |
| nickolaus | Still doesn't solve problem. | 08:25 |
| ibanez | i had the tarbell with the thing you needed Kurko | 08:25 |
| joaopinto | zubair, I just said you can't use those options, they are not available | 08:25 |
| ibanez | but i deleted it the other day ;/ | 08:25 |
| zubair | ok | 08:25 |
| ibanez | i can't remember what it is | 08:25 |
| ibanez | hang on, ill check | 08:25 |
| ibanez | Kurtis-, * | 08:26 |
| Kurtis- | What ticks me off is that I could get my old laptop's NIC to work with ndiswrapper, but that one died due to a bug in HP's firmware | 08:27 |
| Kurtis- | that laptop did | 08:27 |
| Kurtis- | And now I'm stuck with one that's almost just like it... but with slightly different chips | 08:27 |
| ComKid | okay.. this is REALLY earking me.. can someone help me with GRUB? | 08:27 |
| Kurtis- | What sort of problems are you having with GRUB? | 08:27 |
| FruitJoy | hello :) please, help me:i need to specify the commands that the simply users can use, how i can do it? | 08:29 |
| ComKid | I have windows XP installed in parition 1 (primary), blank in parition 2 (primary), and Ubuntu installed in partition 3 (primary, boot), I tried both quickstart and 'overwrite windows boot loader' steps from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and STILL my computer when it boots up gos immedately to XP, no boot loader, no gurb | 08:29 |
| Kurtis- | What file system are you using? Just wondering. | 08:30 |
| ComKid | XP is NTFS (the version XP uses), blank is NTFS, and Ubuntu is EXT3 | 08:30 |
| ikonia | ComKid: how many disks do you have in your system ? | 08:30 |
| ComKid | 4 physical, but all these partitions I speak of are all on disk 1 | 08:31 |
| Kurtis- | Do you have the Ext2 driver installed? http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 08:31 |
| ikonia | ComKid: yes, I appriciate that, however there are two things that appear to be happening in your situation 1.) the grub boot loader is not being writen to the correct disk 2.) the grub boot loader is not being writeen to the master boot record of the correct disks | 08:31 |
| ComKid | ..... EXT3 driver should be included with Ubuntu upon install.. | 08:31 |
| Kurtis- | It'll let you look at /boot/grub/menu.lst, though it'll be more like X:\boot\grub\menu.lst | 08:31 |
| ikonia | Kurtis-: what are you talking about | 08:32 |
| Kurtis- | I'm talking about in Windows | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Kurtis-: why does he need to look at his menu.lst in windows ? | 08:32 |
| ComKid | I'm not editing it in windows O.o | 08:32 |
| ComKid | I want GRUB to override windows boot loader | 08:32 |
| ikonia | ComKid: you don't need to touch that file - grub is not on your boot disk - thats teh issue | 08:32 |
| Kurtis- | Well, there's the off chance that GRUB is installed but is set to use chainloader to go to Windows | 08:32 |
| FruitJoy | Thankyou guys! Bye | 08:32 |
| ComKid | well I told it to write grub to (hda0) | 08:33 |
| Kurtis- | That's why I was suggesting that. | 08:33 |
| ComKid | err (hd0) | 08:33 |
| ikonia | ComKid: was that root or setup | 08:33 |
| ComKid | setup | 08:33 |
| ComKid | root is (hd0,3) | 08:33 |
| ikonia | ComKid: ok - so either Kurtis- is correct or your device.map is not setup to be the right disk | 08:33 |
| ComKid | as told to me by the find step | 08:33 |
| Kurtis- | Which CD did you use to install? | 08:34 |
| Kurtis- | The Desktop CD or the Alternate Install CD? | 08:34 |
| ComKid | Ubuntu 8.04 | 08:34 |
| ComKid | desktop | 08:34 |
| Sanketsu | Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu might not let me log in normally? I've got to use Gnome failsafe to get in on 8.04 but everything is fine with 7.10. I'm on an HP pavilion a1330n. I try to log in and the screen goes to the creme color I'm used to, it sits for a few seconds, then the lower quarter or so of the screen goes black and a second later it kicks back to the log in screen. | 08:34 |
| Kurtis- | Ah, I'm not used to installing from that one. | 08:35 |
| ComKid | I'm getting very annoyed at why grub isn't installing | 08:35 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: do you have auto login enabled? | 08:35 |
| ComKid | is there a way I can make Ubuntu rebuild the master boot record, in cast XP corrpted it? | 08:35 |
| Kurtis- | Well, I still say you should try looking at menu.lst from within Windows (though not in Notepad - it can't handle UNIX line endings) to see what it's configured to do | 08:35 |
| ComKid | case* | 08:35 |
| ikonia | ComKid: its either installing and your machine is not booting from the disk you think it is, or the device.map is wrong, or Kurtis- is correct and it's chainloadeing by default | 08:36 |
| ComKid | Kurtis.. I can view menu.lst from LiveCD | 08:36 |
| Kurtis- | Or you can do that if you wish | 08:36 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | hello | 08:36 |
| ComKid | uh.. shouldn't it chain load.. it says that in 'quickstart' | 08:36 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | got prob here | 08:36 |
| ComKid | title Windows XP/Vista # You can use any title you wish, this will appear on your grub boot menu | 08:37 |
| ComKid | rootnoverify (hd0,0) #(hd0,0) will be most common, you may need to adjust accordingly | 08:37 |
| ComKid | makeactive | 08:37 |
| ComKid | chainloader +1 | 08:37 |
| FloodBot3 | ComKid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:37 |
| Sanketsu | legend2440, I've tried with and without, with it enabled it still kicks me back out to the login screen. | 08:37 |
| Kurtis- | It should use chainload, but which one is set to default? | 08:37 |
| sef_ | Noob - just state your problem clearly and consisely. thank you. | 08:37 |
| __alexconrad__ | hi, I need help with dpkg-preconfigure. I'd like to automate the installation of sun-java6-jre_6-06-0ubuntu1_all.deb, but I need to accept terms and conditions, which is not suitable for automation. How can I avoid this, I think dpkg-preconfigure is the way to go, but I'm not sure how to use it. | 08:37 |
| ikonia | ComKid: look at the line that says "default" | 08:37 |
| Kurtis- | and what's the timeout on it? | 08:37 |
| === Harry_Potter is now known as Charitwo | ||
| ComKid | I'll find this menu.lst first.. | 08:37 |
| ComKid | okay.. where IS menu.lst? | 08:38 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | ok, i've got a few partition, one of it comprising my mp3, but then when i use audacious or etc mp3 player, after reboot the playlist didnt play that mp3 | 08:38 |
| ikonia | ComKid: /boot/grub | 08:38 |
| ComKid | I went to /boot there's lots of ..generic file | 08:38 |
| Kurtis- | First you'll have to mount /dev/hda3 somewhere | 08:38 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | i need to open back the folder and drag those mp3 | 08:38 |
| ComKid | ...apparently there's no grub folder | 08:38 |
| Kurtis- | if that's your third partition, that is | 08:38 |
| ComKid | just /boot | 08:38 |
| ikonia | ComKid: your looking at the livecd - mount your local file system first | 08:39 |
| Kurtis- | You're looking at the LiveCD | 08:39 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | yes | 08:39 |
| ComKid | ah.. | 08:39 |
| ComKid | mounting the other one | 08:39 |
| albech | is it possible to mount a sub directory of a partition directly? | 08:39 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | Kurtis-, yes | 08:39 |
| ikonia | ComKid: so it would be /mnt/boot/grub if your local file system is mounted on /mnt | 08:39 |
| Kurtis- | huh? | 08:39 |
| ComKid | just a minute.. | 08:39 |
| ikonia | albech: no, you mount partitions, althouhg you could look at sharing it out and doing it that way | 08:39 |
| egZo | im on a laptop and keep getting this error, FATAL: Error inserting battery | 08:40 |
| Noob-Ubuntu | hurm | 08:40 |
| ComKid | okay, it's mounted to /mnt/root/ | 08:41 |
| ComKid | I see /boot/grub in there | 08:41 |
| ikonia | ComKid: ok, so /mnt/root/boot/grub | 08:41 |
| Kurtis- | now open menu.lst | 08:41 |
| ComKid | lots of stuff in here | 08:42 |
| Kurtis- | Which one is marked as default? | 08:42 |
| Kurtis- | should be around line 14 | 08:42 |
| ComKid | how do I tell which is marked as default? | 08:42 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: any errors in /var/log/gdm/<latest log file> something like :0.log? | 08:42 |
| Kurtis- | For me, on line 14, there's: default0 | 08:43 |
| ComKid | default 0 | 08:43 |
| Kurtis- | Scroll down to around line 130, I guess | 08:43 |
| Kurtis- | the first one that isn't commented out | 08:44 |
| === howtoo_ is now known as howtoo | ||
| Sanketsu | legend2440, I'll look now. | 08:44 |
| ComKid | you mean right below ## ## End Default Options ## ?? | 08:44 |
| Kurtis- | yes | 08:44 |
| Kurtis- | that's option 0 | 08:44 |
| ComKid | first thing listed is title Ubuntu 8.04 ... | 08:45 |
| ComKid | root (hd0,3) | 08:45 |
| Kurtis- | Okay, so that rules out my theory | 08:45 |
| ComKid | for some reason the master boot record simply isn't pointing to hd0,3 to start the grub loader I think | 08:45 |
| Sanketsu | legend2440, I'm not sure, I'll paste it to paste.ubuntu.com | 08:45 |
| ikonia | ComKid: no | 08:45 |
| ComKid | how do I rewrite the master boot record clean? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | ComKid: the master boot record isn't being written to | 08:46 |
| jdk1976 | greetings all. I tried to paste a symlink to my desktop and all icins disappeared and all desktop functionality went with them. now there is no right click and cannot paste to the desktop. any suggestions as to what may have caused this, and a remedy? | 08:46 |
| ikonia | ComKid: thats the problem | 08:46 |
| Sanketsu | legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18676/ | 08:46 |
| ComKid | then how do I write to it? | 08:46 |
| === chryss is now known as chrys_out | ||
| ComKid | I tried that option in quick start twice now | 08:46 |
| Kurtis- | Did you tell GRUB to install on hd0 or hd0,3? | 08:46 |
| Kurtis- | or was that just automatic? | 08:46 |
| ComKid | root (hd0,3) install (hd0) | 08:46 |

| === kompi01 is now known as tiaku | ||
| Kurtis- | Hmm, that sounds right | 08:48 |
| ikonia | ComKid: ok - so how certain are you your bios is set to boot from /dev/sda ? | 08:48 |
| ComKid | ikonia, completely, as SDA is what contains windows XP in the first place that keeps booting | 08:48 |
| ComKid | it's also my first disk | 08:48 |
| ikonia | ComKid: that doesn 't mean it's bootinfr from sda | 08:49 |
| ikonia | ComKid: windows can be on any disk | 08:49 |
| Kurtis- | The boot loader could be installed on any disk. | 08:49 |
| Sanketsu | legend2440, I'm not sure. | 08:49 |
| ComKid | I can double check if it'll make you feel better | 08:49 |
| tanath | every time i tried to open this in firefox, it freezes my computer: http://hitta.se/3d/3d_map.aspx | 08:49 |
| ikonia | ComKid: how do you plan to check | 08:49 |
| ComKid | going into bios and look | 08:49 |
| tanath | it loads to a certain point, then freezes | 08:49 |
| ikonia | ComKid: that would be most appricaiated | 08:49 |
| ikonia | appriciated even | 08:49 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: at boot when it says starting press esc key and choose another kernel | 08:50 |
| Kurtis- | I had another thought, though. | 08:50 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Are you still able to access menu.lst? | 08:50 |
| Sanketsu | Ok, I'll try that legend2440 . | 08:50 |
| ComKid | is there a way to ID which hard drive is which by serial number in Ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| ComKid | my bios reads them by serial number, not by disk number | 08:51 |
| Kurtis- | Ah, you're using another computer to chat. | 08:51 |
| ComKid | there's ST332062AS, ST3400620AS, and ST3320620AS | 08:51 |
| ComKid | yes | 08:51 |
| ComKid | lappy | 08:51 |
| Kurtis- | Yeah, it sounds as if Windows is booting from another hard disk. | 08:52 |
| ComKid | can Ubuntu somehow tell me which drive is which (ie compare paritions within to serial number of physical device) | 08:52 |
| === kompi01 is now known as tiaku | ||
| ikonia | ComKid: fdisk -l /dev/sda | 08:52 |
| ikonia | ComKid: does that have anything unique in it | 08:52 |
| ikonia | ComKid: or maybe from hdparm, just looking | 08:52 |
| ComKid | I'll have to boot back into Ubuntu live CD again.. I'll try flipping them, there's only three possible combos | 08:53 |
| Kurtis- | If you could settle for using ntldr to load GRUB and thus Ubuntu, you could use bootpart in Windows to set up an entry | 08:54 |
| ComKid | trying with reverse order.. | 08:54 |
| ComKid | .... O.o XP still loaded | 08:54 |
| ComKid | even after changing boot order... trying again | 08:54 |

| ComKid | AGAIN XP.. what the heck.. | 08:58 |
| ikonia | ComKid: there is more than just a boot loader, let it boot and see how far it gets | 08:58 |
| ComKid | Ikonia, I'm waiting till I see the XP logo | 08:59 |
| ikonia | ComKid: there must be windows installs then | 08:59 |
| === kompi01 is now known as de_je | ||
| Flannel | ComKid: What are you doing to reinstall stage 1? | 08:59 |
| sparky_ | What's the package to install so i could watch videos on YouTube? | 08:59 |
| ComKid | I told you that at the beginning Ikonia | 09:00 |
| Kurtis- | Open Synaptic and search for Flash | 09:00 |
| === selocol_ is now known as selocol | ||
| Kurtis- | @sparky_ | 09:00 |
| ComKid | partition 1 is XP, partition 3 is Ubuntu | 09:00 |
| ikonia | ComKid: no - you said there was 1 windows installation | 09:00 |
| Flannel | ComKid: Same disk? | 09:00 |
| ComKid | both are primaryies, Ubuntu has the 'active/boot' flag set | 09:00 |
| ikonia | ComKid: if you are getting windows booting on all 3 disks | 09:00 |
| ComKid | Flannel same disk | 09:00 |
| Flannel | ComKid: partition 3 is hd0,2 not hd0,3, by the way. | 09:00 |
| sparky_ | Kurtis-, a lot come up, that's why I'm asking | 09:00 |
| ComKid | Ikonia, all other disks are data only, no OS | 09:00 |
| ikonia | ComKid: remove the ubuntu disk, see what the others do | 09:00 |
| ikonia | ComKid: yes, but I want it to boot from the other disks, not the ubuntu one | 09:00 |
| Flannel | ComKid: What are you doing to reinstall GRUB to your MBR? | 09:01 |
| ComKid | Flannel, according to Gparted, hd0,3 is extened | 09:01 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: flashplugin-nonfree | 09:01 |
| Flannel | ComKid: Er... then your Ubuntu is logical? and is hda5? | 09:01 |
| sparky_ | Ah, ok | 09:01 |
| sparky_ | Thank you | 09:01 |
| Flannel | ComKid: excuse me, sda5? | 09:01 |
| ComKid | Ikonia, I'm trying by moving different hard drives to the first in boot order | 09:01 |
| === de_je is now known as de_je85 | ||
| ComKid | no Flannel | 09:01 |
| ComKid | listen | 09:01 |
| ikonia | ComKid: don't change the boot order - remove the ubuntu disks to check the other disks | 09:01 |
| Flannel | ComKid: Instead of shotgun debugging, lets just sit down and do it right. | 09:02 |
| ComKid | XP Pirmary, Blank Primary, Ubuntu Pirmary, EXT( FAT32, SWAP) | 09:02 |
| === __alexconrad__ is now known as AlexCONRAD | ||
| ComKid | that's the layout | 09:02 |
| Kurtis- | Where's FAT32 come in? | 09:02 |
| ComKid | however apparently the extened was made before the Ubuntu Pimary, thus exened is 3 | 09:02 |
| sparky_ | Kurtis-, after I apply it should I do anything else, or just go to youTube.com? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | Kurtis-: yes, thats new | 09:02 |
| Flannel | ComKid: right, so Ubuntu is hd0,2 | 09:02 |
| sparky_ | Because nothing is happening | 09:02 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: Restart your browser | 09:02 |
| ComKid | FAT32 is just a blank drive I used for when I tried to use PowerQuest's boot magic to no avail | 09:02 |
| ComKid | no Flannel | 09:03 |
| ComKid | Ubuntu is sda4 | 09:03 |
| sparky_ | Kurtis-, I just did | 09:03 |
| ComKid | also (hd0,3) according to GRUB | 09:03 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: What browser are you using? | 09:03 |
| Flannel | ComKid: Then You should be more clear with your partitions. But yes, that sounds good. Now, for the third time, what are you doing to reinstall grub to your MBR? | 09:03 |
| ComKid | there is a blank pirmary between XP and Ubuntu | 09:03 |
| sparky_ | Kurtis-, FireFox 3 beta 5 | 09:04 |
| ComKid | I followed the instructions in quickstart | 09:04 |
| ComKid | root (hd0,3) setup (hd0) | 09:04 |
| Flannel | ComKid: Which instructions might those be? | 09:04 |
| ComKid | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 09:04 |
| Sanketsu | legend2440, Tried the different kernel thing, since I'm on a dual boot with XP the selection comes up automatically, but I've only got one kernel it's x.x.x.16 I forgot to write it down. I've got it, and it again (recovery mode) and then memtest and then XP. | 09:04 |
| Kurtis- | flashplugin-nonfree should work then | 09:04 |
| Kurtis- | @sparky_ | 09:04 |
| sparky_ | When I try to install it manually it says ""ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the | 09:04 |
| sparky_ | Adobe Flash Player installer. | 09:04 |

| === kompi01 is now known as de_je85 | ||
| Kurtis- | ahh | 09:05 |
| SoulChild | Hi All, Emacs Question: How do i remove the welcome-screen of emacs? I Don't want it to appear everytime i edit a file. | 09:05 |
| ComKid | BINGO | 09:05 |
| ComKid | I found it | 09:05 |
| Kurtis- | Yet another reason I'm still using x86 even on my x64 processor | 09:05 |
| sparky_ | So what is your suggestion? | 09:05 |
| ComKid | hard disk 4 hard the GRUB boot loader | 09:05 |
| ComKid | had the* | 09:05 |
| ikonia | ComKid: I told you that | 09:05 |
| ComKid | it was order | 09:06 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: 2.6.24-16-generic? | 09:06 |
| Sanketsu | Yes! that's the one. | 09:06 |
| ComKid | I got to badly find a way to ID these drives, what pisses me off is two of them have IDENTIAL serial numbers | 09:06 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: ok so your on xp now? | 09:06 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: libflash-mozplugin | 09:06 |
| ComKid | I got GRUB appearing finally | 09:06 |
| ComKid | Ubuntu normal, recovery mode, vista, and vista O.o | 09:06 |
| ComKid | unsure why it listed vista twice when I only have XP and blank, but I'll check the settings | 09:07 |
| ikonia | ComKid: detected from one of the old mbr's you have probably | 09:07 |
| Sanketsu | No, I'm back in Ubuntu, I keep having to switch to "failsafe GNOME" on the log in screen's options in order to get into Ubuntu though. | 09:07 |
| ComKid | okay.. so I now have to blank out bad MBR's from 3 drives | 09:07 |
| Kurtis- | I'd not do that | 09:07 |
| sparky_ | Kurtis-, no go :/ | 09:07 |
| SoulChild | Emacs User here ? | 09:07 |
| ComKid | why not? | 09:07 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: You might wipe out the wrong thing and not get back into XP again | 09:08 |
| ikonia | ComKid: the "dd" command can be used to write "null" tot he boot sector, but that doesn't seem nessasyr in my view | 09:08 |
| ComKid | sda / hd0 has a good proper MBR, I should kill all those XP/Vista MBRs from the other disks to prevent farther confusion | 09:08 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: so it boots to a desktop in failsafe but not in regular gnome? | 09:08 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Try one of those options and see if they let you get into XP | 09:08 |
| === sean is now known as Guest24039 | ||
| Sanketsu | legend2440, Yes, that's right. | 09:08 |
| ComKid | Kurtis, I can get into both Ubuntu and XP now, GRUB works now that I got the boot order right | 09:09 |
| Sanketsu | Am I looking in the entirely wrong place then? | 09:09 |
| Kurtis- | You didn't mention an XP option in that list from GRUB though | 09:09 |
| ComKid | yes I did.. I said it lists Vista/XP twice, even though I only have one | 09:09 |
| ComKid | I'll try starting one of them | 09:09 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: You said Vista, not XP | 09:10 |
| ComKid | yes, it calls it 'Vista' for some reason | 09:10 |
| jerkface03 | mkay, downloaded and burned the new ubuntu server edition | 09:10 |
| === de_je85 is now known as deje_85 | ||
| ComKid | okay, first one seems broken, it just says 'starting up'.. oh there it gos.. took a long while | 09:10 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Whichever one lets you boot into your copy of XP - make sure it's the one you normally boot into - keep in menu.lst and remove the other | 09:10 |
| jerkface03 | and now i have to wait for my subversion repo tars to download before i install | 09:10 |
| ComKid | second one points to a dead area | 09:11 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: You might want to rename the title of it though to something like "Microsoft Windows XP" | 09:11 |
| ComKid | I will | 09:11 |
| sparky_ | Evidently I had to remove the gnash firefox plugin | 09:11 |
| ComKid | is there a reason why there's a good 30 seconds between when I pick it, and when it loads? | 09:11 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: 30 seconds? That sounds a bit extreme. | 09:11 |
| Kurtis- | 2 seconds is all it should take. | 09:12 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: i found this page but you may need to be in recovery mode for it to work the one i would think might work is dpkg-reconfigure gdm anyway here is the page with things to try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187177 | 09:12 |
| ComKid | I'll count | 09:12 |
| Sanketsu | Thanks legend2440, I'll have a look. | 09:12 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: basically those commands reconfigure the gnome system | 09:13 |
| CriSaTaN666 | bro's, i have a huge problem, when i install the private drivers of nvidia, ans restart my pc, my monitor goes black | 09:13 |
| ComKid | 87 seconds so far.. | 09:13 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Personally, I just use the Windows bootloader (I use Vista now, so I use BCD and EasyBCD, but when I used XP, I used bootpart) to load GRUB. I got into habit of doing that due to multiple factors. | 09:13 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Yeah, something's wrong. | 09:14 |
| ComKid | okay... it seems to just take ages now | 09:14 |
| legend2440 | Sanketsu: i have to go now good luck | 09:14 |
| Kurtis- | It's not going to boot. | 09:14 |
| Sanketsu | legend2440, ok, Thanks, I'll try that | 09:14 |
| ComKid | it's not loading XP right, it /eventually/ gets to the XP logo, but not for a long time | 09:14 |
| === Tux is now known as theshroom | ||
| ComKid | I'll check the menu.lst file and see what's going on now.. | 09:15 |
| === theshroom is now known as mechtech | ||
| Kurtis- | What I would do is just use an XP CD to enter recovery mode and issue fixboot and then use bootpart in Windows to make an entry point ntldr to grub | 09:15 |
| ComKid | can you do that with only XP's boot loader? | 09:16 |
| Kurtis- | ntldr is XP's bootloader | 09:16 |
| ComKid | but I thought it couldn't call linux OSes | 09:16 |
| Kurtis- | It can't on its own | 09:16 |
| ComKid | so... how do I point it to load GRUB? | 09:17 |
| Kurtis- | You have to use bootpart to call up GRUB | 09:17 |
| Kurtis- | http://www.aboutdebian.com/dualboot.htm | 09:17 |
| Kurtis- | Scroll down to the part that says "To Use NTLDR" | 09:17 |
| Decepticon | what pci graphics card should i get to do svideo out or composite out, that will work with minimal configuration on ubuntu 8.04 ? | 09:17 |
| Kurtis- | @ComKid | 09:17 |
| Decepticon | svideo out and/or composite out | 09:17 |
| DaveVK | . | 09:18 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: That requires that you have XP booting in the first place though | 09:18 |
| sparky_ | When I try to move files into the usr directory it tells me i don't have permission to do that, how do I bypass that? | 09:18 |
| mechtech | when starting clamav it says I am to edit 2 file before update and I cant find them now with in clamtk says defs are 114 days old yet it also says I am up to date is this normal | 09:18 |
| ComKid | oh for crying out loud.. why is this being so difficult?? | 09:18 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Because of your SATA configuration | 09:19 |
| ComKid | SATA is supposed to be superior to IDE | 09:19 |
| Kurtis- | It is | 09:19 |
| Kurtis- | Faster, usually easier to configure, provided you know which drive is which. | 09:19 |
| ComKid | okay, is partition 1 supposed to be (hd0,0) or (hd0,1)? | 09:19 |
| darrend | sparky_: you would need to be root (ie use sudo). But why do you want to move files there - what are these files? | 09:20 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: In which environment? | 09:20 |
| sparky_ | darrend several reasons. New fonts and backgrounds as just some examples | 09:20 |
| ComKid | in grub's menu.lst | 09:20 |
| sparky_ | There was a command that'd open up a window without those restrictions | 09:20 |
| g[r]eek | Hi I am using Ubuntu and Firefox (3). I want to change the defauilt print options. ie: I want "display background images and colours" to be checked by default, and change the location of "Title" and "Page # of #" for example. Currently, everytime I print a new page, I have to change all these settings from their default. I am hoping I can just change this default. Is there a way? Thanks. | 09:20 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: hd0,0 is partition 1 | 09:21 |
| Kurtis- | ew | 09:21 |
| chronographer | Hi all question: My hard drive, will quick format but will only full format to 99%, is it ruined? | 09:21 |
| ComKid | savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 is supposed to be there right? | 09:21 |
| chronographer | Loads Vista and XP fine, will sometime just crash or refuse to load a particular program. | 09:21 |
| Kurtis- | yes | 09:21 |
| darrend | sparky_: the restrictions are the file system permissions. whatever command you use, it's going to involve sudo. I'd strongly advise not opening file manager windows as root though | 09:22 |
| ComKid | in the quickstart they don't state 'savedefault' or 'makeactive' in there | 09:22 |
| chronographer | greek, tried system, admin printing? | 09:22 |
| sparky_ | darrend, why is that? | 09:22 |
| joaopinto | chronographer, your description is messy, are you using Ubuntu ? | 09:22 |
| Kurtis- | chronographer: Sounds like bad sectors toward the end of the drive | 09:22 |
| CriSaTaN666 | bro's, i have a huge problem, when i install the private drivers of nvidia, ans restart my pc, my monitor goes black | 09:22 |
| chronographer | sometimes! | 09:22 |
| chronographer | to tell you the truth, should I buy this? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150253371500&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005 | 09:22 |
| ComKid | I did a physical scan of this drive not long ago | 09:23 |
| darrend | sparky_: because one wrong move of the mouse could break your entire system or delete data permanently. There's a good reason for those permissions :) | 09:23 |
| chronographer | bad sectors== game over? | 09:23 |
| sparky_ | Lol, fair enough | 09:23 |
| Kurtis- | chronographer: Bad sectors == avoid them | 09:23 |
| sparky_ | Although gksudo nautilus was the one I was talking about | 09:23 |
| darrend | sparky_: that's the one I'd strongly advise you not to use | 09:23 |
| ComKid | I'm going to try removeing 'savedefault' and 'makeactive' and see what happens | 09:23 |
| Kurtis- | chronographer: Just don't include the last few megabytes as part of any partition | 09:23 |
| chronographer | ok, no worries, don't really need it anyway. Kurtis: thats all? | 09:23 |
| joaopinto | chronographer, boot into recovery mode, and run badblocks /dev/your_disk_device | 09:23 |
| joaopinto | and if you get badblocks, you really should consider buying a new disk | 09:24 |
| ComKid | okay, same behaviour so far.. | 09:24 |
| sparky_ | Lol I generally avoid that, but I don't see the harm in adding a PNG in the background directory | 09:24 |
| sparky_ | I know better to mess with files I don't know ;) | 09:24 |
| chronographer | hmm.. ok. Thanks for the advice. | 09:24 |
| Kurtis- | chronographer: And unless you're just wanting that for parts, avoid that "faulty" disk | 09:24 |
| darrend | sparky_: so open a terminal and type 'sudo cp your.png /usr/local/wherever' | 09:25 |
| chronographer | parts! does anybody take apart HDD's? | 09:25 |
| Kurtis- | chronographer: It's generally not a good idea if you don't know what you're doing | 09:25 |
| sparky_ | Ah thank you, I forgot about that one :/ | 09:25 |
| geoffthefish | i just installed hardy and firefox is making fonts look weird - what default font should i use? | 09:25 |
| chronographer | I took one apart, to se the magnets, they are very cool, but I wouldn't ever do it to fix the thing, that kind of thing is better left dead...I guess forensics is a good reason but still. | 09:26 |
| chronographer | geoffthefish, maybe remove the config directory, start again? | 09:26 |
| ubunubi | Anyone know if /dev/shm is a _true_ Ramdrive, no data written there ever touches the hard drive through/via swap space or otherwise? | 09:27 |
| joaopinto | geoffthefish, I had the same issue, on my case I have disabled the option that allows pages to set their own fonts | 09:27 |
| joaopinto | chronographer, please stop providing nonsense help | 09:27 |
| geoffthefish | chrongrapher: it has all my bookmarks and stuff tho doesnt it, i kept my home dir from last install | 09:27 |
| joaopinto | geoffthefish, please ignore his suggestion | 09:28 |
| geoffthefish | joaopinto, i work as a web developer so need to see pages with the fonts set as per our designs | 09:28 |
| chronographer | ?? | 09:28 |
| geoffthefish | joaopinto, thx i have | 09:28 |
| joaopinto | geoffthefish, check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/220568 | 09:29 |

| joaopinto | an option is to change some font mappings | 09:29 |
| Kurtis- | Those are the defaults for me | 09:29 |
| ComKid | okay, why isn't 'sudo gedit' opening the editor? | 09:29 |
| chronographer | you should use sudo gksu ... | 09:29 |
| porkchop86 | did you manage to uninstall gedit? | 09:30 |
| joaopinto | ComKid, you should use gksudo , but it should open with sudo anyways | 09:30 |
| ComKid | no.. can open it from the menu | 09:30 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Are you in the LiveCD or in Ubuntu from your hard drive? | 09:30 |
| geoffthefish | Kurtis: i will try that now.... | 09:30 |
| ComKid | just 'gksudo' or sudo gksudo | 09:30 |
| ComKid | Ubuntu from hard drive | 09:30 |

| ComKid | what's the difference between sudo and gkduso | 09:30 |

| Mr_Bad_News | what is the command line console on tty1 ? | 09:33 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is it dos? | 09:33 |
| dex | I can't remember how i fixed it though =\ | 09:34 |

| joaopinto | Mr_Bad_News, no, its Linux | 09:34 |
| Kurtis- | tty1 is a telnet connection | 09:34 |
| joaopinto | it's a command line terminal | 09:34 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does it have a specific name? | 09:34 |

| Mr_Bad_News | so i can make a vid of compiz? | 09:35 |
| joaopinto | Kurtis-, not really, if you use a local login there is no tcp/ip involved | 09:35 |
| futureng99 | i login only "safe console" | 09:35 |
| Kurtis- | joaopinto: It's using 127.0.0.1 for the X server | 09:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/159/screenshottz1.png | 09:36 |
| joaopinto | Kurtis-, I am refering to a real text console, not to X windows... | 09:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a way so that i can make the 3d cube in compiz permanently zoom out until i want it to come back in? | 09:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | so i dont have to hold down ctrl alt | 09:36 |
| Kurtis- | I meant to say graphical frontends | 09:36 |
| Kurtis- | whoops! | 09:36 |
| joaopinto | ok :P | 09:36 |
| rgnr | !emuexec | 09:37 |
| ubottu | Factoid emuexec not found | 09:37 |
| ComKid | me redoing the boot order shouldn't affect drive numbering right? | 09:37 |
| ComKid | moved boot order around in BIOS | 09:37 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Yes, it does | 09:37 |
| ComKid | .....gah.. | 09:37 |
| rgnr | any emuexec users here? | 09:37 |
| ComKid | now I have to find out what is what.. | 09:37 |
| Kurtis- | Well, wait, no | 09:37 |
| joaopinto | ComKid, it should not | 09:37 |
| Kurtis- | But it sounds as if you were booting from another drive which had the XP boot loader | 09:37 |
| Kurtis- | Not all of XP | 09:37 |
| ComKid | ...which of you is right then.. Kurtis or joaopinto? | 09:38 |
| Kurtis- | he's right | 09:38 |
| Kurtis- | I corrected myself | 09:38 |
| ComKid | Kurtis, we just resolved that, I installed GRUB to hd0, and now GRUB starts, I have the correct drive as my first boot device now | 09:38 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Yes, but that's still part of the problem. | 09:38 |
| ComKid | ...what? | 09:38 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: The boot loader is still on one of the other drives. | 09:38 |
| Kurtis- | ntldr is | 09:38 |
| ComKid | ummm.. here's something | 09:39 |
| Mushroom | hi! | 09:39 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Otherwise it should have opened into GRUB the first time you installed that | 09:39 |
| ComKid | Kurtis, Gparted now reports that sda1 and sda2 is unreadable/corrpt | 09:39 |
| Kurtis- | ugh | 09:39 |
| ComKid | Kurtis, the boot loader is on hd0, I now set hd0 as the first boot device | 09:40 |
| Kurtis- | That could potentially be from killing the power as Windows was loading... | 09:40 |
| ComKid | .....umm.. that'd do it | 09:40 |
| ComKid | I killed the power before windows could boot | 09:40 |
| ComKid | I'll change boot order back, boot into XP properly, then boot back again and see if that changes anything -.- | 09:40 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Do note that GRUB cannot load Windows. | 09:40 |
| ComKid | ....? | 09:41 |
| ComKid | it lets you add windows as an item | 09:41 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: It uses chainloader to load ntldr | 09:41 |
| ComKid | ah.. | 09:41 |
| Co_Maziv | u7 | 09:41 |
| ComKid | if ntldr is supposed to be installed into the master boot record, and so is grub, how can I have grub point to ntdlr? | 09:41 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: ntldr could very well be on another drive while Windows itself is on hd0,0. | 09:42 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: That's not the case. | 09:42 |
| dex | that's right, ntdlr. | 09:42 |
| === Hewus is now known as Hew | ||
| dex | that was my whole problem, and it was the same problem as yours. | 09:42 |
| ComKid | ........how do I deliberately install ntdlr onto a different drive? | 09:42 |
| === zachs is now known as joz | ||
| Kurtis- | ComKid: ntldr is installed to a partition. The MBR only tells the computer which partition to read to boot. | 09:42 |
| futureng99 | i am login gnu interface. but my desktop is blank. | 09:43 |
| jerkface03 | joaopinto: neither command you gave me is working | 09:43 |
| futureng99 | no icon. | 09:43 |
| ComKid | ..so run XP recovery console and tell it to fixboot? | 09:43 |
| kiosk | a | 09:43 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, does "sudo ls" work ? | 09:43 |
| === kiosk is now known as ryanda | ||
| jerkface03 | when i try to do sudo apt-get install ssh-server it tells me that libck-connector0 is missing and can't be found | 09:43 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Yes, but then note that you won't have access to GRUB anymore until you mark hd0,3 as boot, preferrably in GParted | 09:43 |
| jerkface03 | broken dependancy | 09:43 |
| rgnr | any1 can hlp me with emuexec? | 09:43 |
| ComKid | ..okay, that's doable | 09:44 |
| jerkface03 | i dont understand, i'm almost 100% certain that it should have installed an ssh server during the install | 09:44 |
| joaopinto | ComKid, ntldrs is not expected to be on the MBR, it is installed into the windows partition | 09:44 |
| jerkface03 | hrmph | 09:44 |
| ComKid | XP recovery, fix boot, reset Ubuntu is boot flag | 09:44 |
| joaopinto | jerkface03, ps -ef | grep ssh | 09:44 |
| ComKid | right? | 09:44 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: That should work. | 09:44 |
| dex | jerkface03: apt-get install openssh-server? | 09:44 |
| jerkface03 | dex: but shouldn't it have already installed by default? | 09:45 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: And then just make sure menu.lst is pointing to hd0,0 for the XP entry | 09:45 |
| dex | If you chose it, sure. | 09:45 |
| ComKid | do I also need to 'fixmbr' in it, or leave that alone? | 09:45 |
| Kurtis- | Leave that alone | 09:45 |
| dex | i'm not sure if by default. it depends on the CD you used I guess | 09:45 |
| ComKid | okay | 09:45 |
| dex | the Server CD for instance, you have to choose it. | 09:45 |
| jerkface03 | dex: the option wasn't presented to me | 09:46 |
| jerkface03 | the most i got was a list of setups | 09:46 |
| jerkface03 | lamp/samba/etc.. | 09:46 |
| dex | it should've been there. | 09:46 |
| dex | maybe you missed it | 09:46 |
| jerkface03 | k | 09:46 |
| jerkface03 | reinstalling | 09:46 |
| dex | or maybe it's there | 09:47 |
| dex | but just not loaded | 09:47 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: See, the boot loader doesn't necessarily have to be installed onto the partition which has your OS. ntldr usually installs itself on the first readable partition and then configures the mbr to boot from that partition, which then redirects it to the OS | 09:47 |
| dex | i'd look if it's actually installed first | 09:47 |
| dex | if I were you | 09:47 |
| FloodBot3 | dex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:47 |
| === ryanda is now known as ryanda2 | ||
| dex | and, you don't have to reinstall the whole thing, just do apt-get install openssh-server, that works. | 09:47 |
| ComKid | ...if I type fixboot, it'll install it in the XP partition though, right? | 09:48 |
| jerkface03 | fine | 09:48 |
| jerkface03 | sec | 09:48 |
| Kurtis- | Yes | 09:48 |
| === kiosk is now known as Ryanda | ||
| * ComKid waits as XP installer /slowly/ loads | 09:48 | |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Before using GParted, make sure that XP successfully loads | 09:48 |
| Kurtis- | After typing fixboot, that is | 09:49 |
| jerkface03 | dex: it's giving me the same thing | 09:49 |
| jerkface03 | libck-connector0 missing | 09:49 |
| === Ryanda is now known as ryanda | ||
| jerkface03 | also, doing apt-get update gives me some 404s | 09:49 |
| ComKid | Kurtis-, okay | 09:49 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a channel for openbox? | 09:49 |
| ComKid | I guess 'fixboot' also sets XP partition as active? | 09:50 |
| dex | jerkface03: You got me there, no clue what that means. | 09:50 |
| Kurtis- | Actually, come to think of that, I'm not sure on that | 09:50 |
| Kurtis- | fixmbr might be required to do that | 09:50 |
| ComKid | ..which means I also would need to reinstall GRUB again | 09:50 |
| === ryanda is now known as Ryanda | ||
| Kurtis- | ComKid: No, it's still installed. | 09:50 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: That's why I told you to use GParted to mark hd0,3 as active | 09:51 |
| jerkface03 | christ | 09:51 |
| jerkface03 | reinstalling | 09:51 |
| ComKid | ...but the 'quickstart' instructions said that grub is loaded into the MBR, if I 'fixmbr' in XP, it'll erase GRUB | 09:51 |
| dex | ComKid: When i had the same problem, I installed lilo instead of grub. | 09:51 |
| dex | It still had the same problem. | 09:51 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: It won't erase GRUB. It's still installed onto the partition. | 09:51 |
| ComKid | erm.. okay | 09:51 |
| ComKid | did fixmbr and fix boot, waiting for reboot | 09:52 |
| Kurtis- | And just so you know, I'll be back in a few seconds. | 09:52 |
| Kurtis- | or not, I'll wait | 09:53 |
| ComKid | okay | 09:53 |
| === Ryanda is now known as ryanda | ||
| ComKid | erm.... just a blinking cursor now | 09:53 |
| Kurtis- | Hmm, damn. | 09:53 |
| ComKid | I think the whole partition of XP might be corrpt | 09:53 |
| ComKid | after all this stuff we did I think we screwed up the allocation tables | 09:53 |
| Kurtis- | Load GParted and mark the Ubuntu partition bootable | 09:53 |
| rgnr | hey ppl c'mon! who uses emuexec? | 09:54 |
| Brad7200 | can i have some help.. when i use youtube.com i get no sound | 09:54 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: I certainly hope that's not the case. | 09:54 |
| ryanda | hello everyone | 09:54 |
| ComKid | it was in a state I had to force restart it by holding down the power button | 09:54 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: But when you mentioned that it worked before from GRUB but didn't later... that kind of worried me. | 09:54 |
| Kurtis- | And I'll be right back. | 09:55 |
| ComKid | yah, the first time it took a long time to load, the second time it didn't load anymore | 09:55 |
| Brad7200 | ne 1 | 09:55 |

| kompi04 | taqim | 09:57 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Once you mark the Ubuntu partition as bootable in GParted, try rebooting and seeing if GRUB will load | 09:57 |
| Brad7200 | can ne1 help me with the sound on youtube | 09:57 |
| ComKid | okay.. | 09:57 |
| ComKid | waiting for Gparted to give me controls | 09:57 |

| ComKid | only thing is it'll take 3 hours to restore the image | 09:58 |
| Gamesmedic | acn anyone tell me how to change the root password? | 09:58 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: That is a distinct possibility. | 09:58 |
| ComKid | ...well.. there's a plus, Gparted no longer has XP marked as corrpt | 09:58 |
| Kurtis- | Well, that's good. | 09:58 |
| Brad7200 | whats the command to remove libflashsupport and ndiswrapper | 09:59 |
| ComKid | setting boot flag.. | 09:59 |
| Kurtis- | If it's not corrupted, then it's just possible that you don't have a boot.ini file set up | 09:59 |
| drash | Brad7200: sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport nspluginwrapper | 09:59 |
| Brad7200 | thanx | 09:59 |
| Kurtis- | And I don't recall the command to automatically rebuild that. | 09:59 |
| drash | Brad7200: my mistake, it's not ndiswrapper but nspluginwrapper | 10:00 |
| Brad7200 | kol | 10:00 |
| ComKid | while I did the fixboot and fixmbr I also checked bootcfg /list it has a proper XP entry in it | 10:01 |
| Kurtis- | hmm | 10:01 |

| jerkface03 | dex: awesome, it works now | 10:03 |
| jerkface03 | dex: thx | 10:03 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: All I can suggest is to try changing your boot order back to what it originally was and seeing if that works. | 10:03 |
| dex | np | 10:03 |
| ComKid | in the original order, GRUB never started | 10:03 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Yeah, well, GRUB isn't what's important at the moment. We need to see if XP is corrupted. | 10:03 |
| dex | jerkface03: everytime you run with the problem of something not being installed | 10:03 |
| dex | just use apt-get install | 10:03 |
| * ComKid sighs | 10:04 | |
| ComKid | changing boot order back....again.. | 10:04 |
| ComKid | GRUB should start even if XP is corrpt | 10:04 |
| Kurtis- | Yeah, it should. | 10:04 |
| Kurtis- | I'm not sure why it didn't. | 10:04 |
| ComKid | it said error loading operating system | 10:04 |
| ComKid | no GRUB at all | 10:04 |

| Kurtis- | Because I recently accidentally wiped out my Vista install and was able to get GRUB back by marking that as the bootable partition. | 10:05 |
| Brad7200 | drash: it wont install | 10:05 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: It's easier to install when you're only dealing with one disk or with PATA. | 10:05 |
| drash | Brad7200: that last command came back with an error ? | 10:05 |
| Brad7200 | the file you got me to dl didnt work | 10:06 |

| bigdaddy0522 | comkid after that click BACK and istall using first option. | 10:08 |

| Ademan | Mr_Bad_News: well that's xgl's fault... not xfce's really | 10:11 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i turned the opacity off | 10:12 |
| Mr_Bad_News | so how do i get compiz to use xfce instead of gnome | 10:12 |
| Ademan | Mr_Bad_News: you can create a startup program that runs compiz --replace | 10:12 |
| Kurtis- | Gamesmedic: There is no root password set by default. | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | Gamesmedic: there shouldn't be a root password set | 10:12 |
| Ademan | Mr_Bad_News: although for the moment you might try running compiz --replace on your own | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | Gamesmedic: iirc at that point you can just tap return | 10:13 |
| erUSUL | Gamesmedic: and Crtl + d ?? | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | erUSUL: skips fsck | 10:13 |
| Mr_Bad_News | ok Ademan thanks | 10:13 |
| Kurtis- | Mr_Bad_News: I have to question why you'd want to use Compiz with Xfce if the whole reason you're using Xfce is for it to be less resource-intensive. | 10:13 |

| Mr_Bad_News | im done | 10:18 |
| ikonia | Mr_Bad_News: your done ? | 10:18 |
| GreeN_gURL | i can't understand | 10:18 |
| ComKid | I'm going to do fixmbr and fixboot again, and I'll do bootcfg /list to make sure | 10:18 |
| GreeN_gURL | what's done? | 10:18 |
| Mr_Bad_News | yep | 10:18 |
| bigdaddy0522 | just a question, since im very new to ubuntu is cedega worth while? | 10:18 |
| Mr_Bad_News | looks tight | 10:18 |
| ikonia | Mr_Bad_News: what do you mean ? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | bigdaddy0522: depends on your needs | 10:18 |

| bigdaddy0522 | ikonia ill be in iraq and want to play some games such as warhammer 40k dark crusade and some other games not released for linux. i know wine will emulate windows but i have read that cedega will play the games out of the box. | 10:20 |
| bigdaddy0522 | just wanted to know how much truth was there. | 10:20 |
| Kurtis- | Son of a... | 10:20 |
| ikonia | bigdaddy0522: there is some truth | 10:20 |
| GreeN_gURL | bitch | 10:20 |
| ikonia | bigdaddy0522: it can play some games out of the box | 10:20 |
| ikonia | GreeN_gURL: stop that now please. | 10:20 |
| sparky_ | Kurko, do you by any chance know if there's a program that scans for wireless connections? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | GreeN_gURL: what is the problem/question ? | 10:20 |
| Stevethepirate | ... anyone know where they've moved the "Install a networked printer" to on hardy? | 10:20 |
| bigdaddy0522 | ikonia is it worth the 15 dollars they charge for member fees? | 10:20 |
| sparky_ | I've got a wireless modem and I can't figure out how to put it to a use with my laptop ;/ | 10:21 |
| ikonia | bigdaddy0522: if you have $15 free, go for it | 10:21 |
| Stevethepirate | You talking about cedega bigdaddy0522, or was my guess off? | 10:21 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: Was that addressed to me? I assume so since Kurko is idle | 10:21 |
| GreeN_gURL | describe | 10:21 |
| ikonia | GreeN_gURL: what ? "Do you have an ubuntu related question" ? | 10:21 |
| sparky_ | Kurtis-, I'm sorry for the tab abuse :/ | 10:21 |
| bigdaddy0522 | ikonia another question i had was is there a better driver than rt73usb for wireless...just seems soooo slow. my adapter is capable of 54 im only getting 5 | 10:21 |
| sparky_ | But yes, it was to you | 10:21 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: My wireless network adapter apparently won't work with Ubuntu 8.04 | 10:22 |
| ikonia | bigdaddy0522: realtek make their own, but if it's better is up to your view | 10:22 |
| bigdaddy0522 | stevethepirate GREAT NAME! and yes we was talking of cedgega. | 10:22 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: So no, I really can't answer you | 10:22 |
| sparky_ | Goodie! Well thank you, I guess I'll just wait for them to fix that | 10:22 |
| bigdaddy0522 | i use linksys adapter just want the best drivers for it cuz its incredibly slow atm | 10:22 |
| sparky_ | Though in the future, what should I be looking for? I'm assuming you had it working on the Gutsy version | 10:23 |
| Stevethepirate | bigdaddy0522: Like, I've used both cedega and wine.. cedega is great.. I wouldn't know if it was worth the $15... but its saved me a lot of time... | 10:23 |
| Wok_ | how can i find out my disk size in ubuntu via the terminal? | 10:23 |
| bigdaddy0522 | ikonia do you have a link for better wireless drivers? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | bigdaddy0522: my personal view is to use the ones in the kernel | 10:23 |
| Kurtis- | sparky_: Actually, no, I didn't. I had it working in Debian... | 10:23 |
| bigdaddy0522 | steve, Excellent i will have to check it out | 10:23 |
| Kurtis- | Though on a different but similar laptop... | 10:23 |
| sparky_ | Debian's KDE, isn't it? | 10:23 |

| soundray | I need to extract individual frames from an MNG animation. I could do it in gimp, separating each layer into an individual PNG, but I would much prefer a one-step method. Can you help? | 10:24 |
| Stevethepirate | ikonia: Any idea where they hid the Install a networked printer" wizard in hardy? | 10:24 |
| Kurtis- | KDE is just the default desktop environment in Debian | 10:24 |
| sparky_ | Well yeah, that's what I meant | 10:24 |
| bigdaddy0522 | ikonia ok thanks for the tip. i have so much love for ubuntu atm. i formatted my drives after using the live disc...wont go back to xp....though i have to use it on my laptop, cant get the drivers to work for bcm43xx | 10:24 |
| Stevethepirate | soundray: Open the file in VLC and you, I _think_ export each frame as a jpeg | 10:25 |
| Stevethepirate | [under 'save' tab] | 10:25 |
| Kurtis- | I honestly have to wonder if it's got anything to do with the kernel. Hardy doesn't have the latest kernel in the repositories. | 10:25 |
| ComKid | kurtis, I did fixboot, then fixmbr, and did bootcfg /rebuild I rebooted and I get "NTLDR is missing" | 10:25 |
| * Kurtis- jawdrops | 10:25 | |
| dex | ComKid: | 10:25 |
| tech0007 | ComKid: you're better off doing a repair install | 10:25 |
| Stevethepirate | ComKid: I've got that as well... Was aan incorrect setting on grub... looking at the wrong HDD | 10:26 |
| dex | you're on the right track now | 10:26 |
| dex | you have to put the | 10:26 |
| dex | NTLDR file on your base driver on windows. | 10:26 |
| dex | for instance, on C: i got | 10:26 |
| ComKid | tech, where is 'repair install' I never found that option for XP | 10:26 |
| dex | 02/01/2005 02:45 PM 250,048 NTLDR | 10:26 |
| incorrect | i've recently made a kernel, however the initrd image is huge compared to stock kernels | 10:26 |
| soundray | Stevethepirate: vlc won't open the MNG. Should I try to convert it to an animated GIF? | 10:27 |
| ComKid | ...how do I do that Dex? | 10:27 |
| dex | the "NTLDR is missing" error happens when that "NTLDR" file doesn't exist | 10:27 |
| dex | on the partition driver you are booting. | 10:27 |
| tech0007 | ComKid: press enter on Welcoem to Setup, F8 on the license, proceed to install windows | 10:27 |
| Stevethepirate | Yes. | 10:27 |
| Stevethepirate | But it might not exist on (hd0,0) | 10:27 |
| Stevethepirate | It might be on (hd0,1) | 10:27 |
| ComKid | that'll do a full install and wipe out the old install completely, not repair | 10:27 |
| tech0007 | dex: doesnt always happen that way...NTLDR is caused by alot of things | 10:28 |
| dex | well, sure. | 10:28 |
| soundray | Stevethepirate: apparently not -- vlc won't open a gif animation, either | 10:28 |
| Stevethepirate | It looks for ntldr on the partition specified but grub. | 10:28 |
| Kurtis- | ComKid: Listen to tech0007 | 10:28 |
| Stevethepirate | soundray: Hmmm... Maybe wine media player classic.. | 10:28 |
| dex | you're right. | 10:28 |
| Stevethepirate | soundray: I've done a similar thing for avi's... | 10:28 |
| ComKid | .....then what do you suggest tech2007? | 10:28 |
| ComKid | tech 0007* | 10:28 |
| rsk | soundray: mplayer should play gifs | 10:28 |
| soundray | rsk: I'm looking to separate the frames of an animation | 10:29 |
| tech0007 | ComKid: repair install of XP, though you shld be wary if you have data on it | 10:29 |
| ComKid | I tried fixmbr, I tired fixboot, I even tried rebuilding the boot.ini | 10:29 |
| soundray | rsk: or to save all the layers of a GIMP image into separate files (but in one go) | 10:29 |
| ComKid | on other words, I have to redo my image AGAIN which takes 3 hours.. | 10:29 |

| ikonia | Jockeo: the icon is linked | 10:32 |
| kauer | selocol: Just as an experiment, wait longer. It may be that you have a LOT of files in your trashcan, and it is trying to sort them for you or something. Not much of a theory, I know :-) | 10:32 |
| bigdaddy0522 | ill try that steve. | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Jockeo: you need to mnually re-do any links that reference firefox | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Jockeo: or you could wait for ubuntu to release the fully supported package | 10:32 |
| selocol | kauer: i already emptied the trash can using another file manager so it should be empty | 10:32 |

| bigdaddy0522 | oh.... | 10:33 |
| bigdaddy0522 | im new steve....haha you fooled me X-( | 10:33 |
| kauer | selocol: still - just leave it - walk away, make a cup of coffee.... if it's still hammering in twenty minutes, then stop it... | 10:34 |
| Jockeo | ikonia: ok I get it, I'll look for that one then. | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Jockeo: see soundray's comment | 10:34 |
| selocol | kauer: not only is it frozen it's using 100% of my CPU now as seen in htop.. | 10:34 |
| Stevethepirate | bigdaddy0522: Normally internet speed being bad.. is a problem of your internet.. not linux | 10:34 |
| selocol | kauer: i'm pretty sure it's messed up. should i reinstall it? | 10:35 |
| Jockeo | ikonia and soundray: Typing firefox-2 in the command windowd doesn't work, and I cannot find a file called firefox-2 when I search my file system | 10:35 |
| soundray | Jockeo: 'sudo apt-get install firefox-2' | 10:35 |
| bigdaddy0522 | steve, normally i would agree but its weird that linux is only allowing the network adapt. to run at 5Mbps instead of 54 | 10:36 |
| kauer | selocol: 100% CPU and hammering the hard disk is not "frozen", it's "very busy". Give it a chance to sort itself out. | 10:36 |
| selocol | kauer: alright i'll give it a try thanks | 10:36 |

| Jockeo | oh sorry, I'm using 7.10. | 10:38 |

| jerkface03 | anyone know how to get samba to ask for the username/password of a share before letting anyone into the share for reading/writing? | 10:38 |
| Jockeo | ikonia: yes | 10:38 |
| dex | jerkface03: | 10:38 |
| dex | that's configured in /etc/samba/samba.conf i think. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Jockeo: how did you install firefox 3 - a binary or package install ? | 10:39 |
| jerkface03 | dex: right right, i'm not too sure what value to change tho. right now it's letting me read anything without asking for a password | 10:39 |
| dex | i don't have samba installed =\ | 10:39 |
| bigdaddy0522 | steve its only going at like 300bps ...... | 10:39 |
| dex | otherwise i'd help you | 10:39 |
| Jockeo | ikonia: The binary from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html | 10:39 |
| bigdaddy0522 | is using the add/remove feature always that slow. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Jockeo: thats potentially a problem then, the binary may have been overwritten by that install | 10:40 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: where did you extract it? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Jockeo: (potentially) | 10:40 |
| Jockeo | tech0007: In a folder on my desktop | 10:40 |
| dex | jerkface03: | 10:40 |
| dex | open samba.conf | 10:40 |
| dex | and look for the drive you're sharing | 10:40 |
| dex | and look if it has a line saying 'guest ok = yes' | 10:40 |
| dex | if so, change it to no. | 10:40 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: try 'firefox' in terminal...you should still have the ff from ubuntu | 10:41 |
| dex | and restart samba | 10:41 |
| Jockeo | tech0007: That started ff 3.0 RC2. | 10:41 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: did u change the symlinks to firefox? | 10:41 |
| enc_ | Can someone tell me the command for sed to strip all but the last four characters? | 10:42 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: if ff3rc2 is on your desktop, it's executed by doing '~/Desktop/firefox/firefox' | 10:43 |
| wubentu | the firefox3 is not firefox3p5, that makes some of add-ons don't work. | 10:43 |
| Jockeo | tech0007: Didn't change symlinks manually, but I ran the following files in the extracted folder: "firefox" and "run-mozilla.sh". | 10:43 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: whats the output of 'which firefox'? | 10:44 |
| Jockeo | /usr/bin/firefox | 10:44 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: that shld point to your ubuntu ff | 10:45 |
| soundray | tech0007: not if he's run the installer from mozilla.org | 10:45 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: try 'mv .mozilla .mozilla.bak' then run 'firefox' | 10:45 |
| soundray | Jockeo: you could do 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox', but that would disable firefox-3 | 10:46 |
| tech0007 | soundray: i think the files' a tar.bz from mozilla | 10:46 |
| Jockeo | tech0007: I don't know if this helps, but that directory doesn't seem to exist ( /usr/bin/firefox ) I can't do cd /usr/bin/firefox | 10:46 |
| soundray | tech0007: which he unpacked and installed on his system, clobbering ff2 | 10:46 |
| soundray | Jockeo: it's not a directory | 10:46 |
| Jockeo | soundray: ah ok | 10:47 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: how did u install ffrc2? did u just extract it? | 10:47 |
| soundray | Jockeo: by Ubuntu's default, it is a wrapper script that launches firefox. | 10:47 |
| Jockeo | I will try soundrays advice to do 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox'. It's ok if it disables FF 3.0 RC2. | 10:47 |
| soundray | Jockeo: that's the best way then. | 10:47 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: i second soundray's suggestion | 10:48 |
| Jockeo | tech0007: I extracted it and executed the following files in the extracted folder: "firefox" and "run-mozilla.sh". | 10:48 |
| soundray | Jockeo: consider upgrading to hardy -- it lets you use both ff2 and ff3 | 10:48 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: ok, i also have ff3rc2 but i jst extracted it in my home dir | 10:48 |
| Jockeo | soundray and tech0007. Reinstalling ff now, let's see if it does the trick | 10:49 |
| soundray | Is there a way to save all layers of a GIMP image into separate files in one go? | 10:50 |

| oddtod | hey guys i was wondering if anyone knew how a hard drive being encrypted effected ubuntu's ability to boot live | 10:53 |
| Jockeo | soundray, tech0007 and ikonia: It worked to reinstall 2.0, and I'll wait for 3.0 RTM release. Thanks a lot for helping! Do you happen to know a good book about Linux or Ubuntu for users switching from Windows? | 10:53 |
| Jockeo | Many "simple" things such as symlinks and terminal commands are quite difficult when you're switching from Windows. | 10:54 |
| oddtod | jockeo: you can always use the open source root book | 10:54 |
| oddtod | jockeo: i think thats the name of it just do an apt-get install of root book(i believe) and its a pdf pretty good read | 10:55 |
| tech0007 | Jockeo: i jst learned from the man pages :) | 10:55 |

| grobda24 | What do I need to be using to spin down (and keep spun down) my noisy harddisk. It's one of them. I want to keep the root disk alive. | 10:58 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, the /var/log/auth.log shows "failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://141.3.78.1: Invalid credentials" | 10:59 |
| tech0007 | is it safe to remove gcc, make, and other devel packages from hardy? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen: ok, so thats not a user auth issue, thats the "root" ldap account not being able to find to the server | 10:59 |
| Uranellus | hello, i do i tempoarily turn off the automatic mount of usb sticks upon pluggin in ? | 10:59 |

| soundray | tech0007: it's safe. Is it because you're short of space? | 10:59 |
| oddtod | there should be something in there that starts with a R if i recall right | 11:00 |
| mmoscosa | ikonia: so.. i have php5 running, so apt-get install mono mono-xsp2 mono-apache-server2 libapache2-mod-mono is the way? | 11:00 |

| Gatestone | Why my alt-tab stopped working? And Windows-L also does not lock my keyboard anymore? | 11:00 |
| Gatestone | (This happened soon adter upgrading to Hardy...) | 11:00 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, any hint where to start looking for a solution? i have full acces to the machine running the LDAP server | 11:00 |
| soundray | tech0007: there are probably larger packages that you can remove -- old kernels perhaps | 11:00 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen: how did you setup pam to use ldap | 11:00 |
| feng | oddtod: file encryption which is a new feature in hardy. i am concerning about its performance. | 11:01 |
| soundray | tech0007: 'sudo apt-get autoclean' is a good one | 11:01 |
| tech0007 | ikonia: soundray; is there a metapackage for these devel apps? can they be removed by group | 11:01 |
| soundray | tech0007: yes -- if you installed them via the metapackage. It's build-essential | 11:01 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, on the client? well i changed 4 files in /etc/pam.d/ | 11:01 |
| oddtod | feng: the perfrmance drop isn't much at all its something really small. i'm having issues with booting cd's though i think its the section of disk i have encrypted though | 11:01 |
| tech0007 | soundray: i keep at least 2 kernel versions, the -17 and -18 | 11:01 |
| zetheroo | A friend of mine is having problems with his sound after having just upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy. The hardware is nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio. what should he do? | 11:02 |
| zetheroo | please help | 11:02 |
| Jockeo | oddtod: Maybe you mean this one: Linux: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition, an online book ? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen: check the ldap to logs to find out why it's failing to bind | 11:02 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, i followe this guide: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/LDAP_Client_Authentifizierung | 11:02 |
| oddtod | jockeo: there you go i knew it had the sound of root in there | 11:02 |
| Jockeo | thanks :) | 11:02 |
| oddtod | jockeo: sorry my memory is bad | 11:02 |
| soundray | tech0007: to see the largest packages installed, do a 'ls -srS /var/cache/apt/archives | tail' | 11:03 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, on the client or the server? | 11:03 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen: server | 11:03 |
| john_ | hi | 11:03 |
| Jockeo | oddtod: no problem I found it. | 11:03 |
| zvacet | Jockeo : you can download pdf version of that book | 11:04 |
| oddtod | jockeo: yeah it even gets down into the hardware of machines which is kinda cool for someone who is completely unfamiliar with computers | 11:04 |
| feng | oddtod? really? did you do some benchmark on the encrypted file reading and writing? of course, i have little inside knowledge of the encryption feature. but if it is full text gzip, the performance will be decreased a lot. | 11:04 |
| Jockeo | zvacet: I'll look for it | 11:04 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, there is only /var/log/ldapscripts.log that seems relevant in /var/log...is that enough? | 11:04 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen: nothing in messages ? | 11:04 |
| tech0007 | soundray: ls -srS /var/cache/apt/archives | tail <- these are the packages in that dir only right? | 11:04 |
| soundray | tech0007: that dir is your package cache. After apt-get autoclean, it only holds packages that are currently installed on your system. | 11:05 |
| oddtod | oh no its not full text gzip its really low level and i didnn't do a performance test(might want to though) but just have been reading about and its not a dramatic performance loss | 11:05 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, cat massages | grep ldap is giving no results | 11:05 |
| soundray | tech0007: so it's something of an indication what's taking up space. | 11:05 |
| tech0007 | soundray: ok | 11:05 |
| dex | FrauHansen: try grep LDAP | 11:06 |

| boubbin | magnetron do you have any cool "one-liner" bash scripts for it? | 11:13 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, could it be that the supposed ldap-admin somehow got lost (its an old grown ldap-server) | 11:13 |
| magnetron | boubbin: ffmpeg only needs one line to invoke it. if you think it's hard to use, try avidemux instead. however ffmpeg supports more formats than avidemux | 11:14 |
| kil20 | I am having a problem related to shutdown button. It hangs up even now and then. | 11:14 |

| Shade_ | Hey everyone... Looking for help with an USB device that doesn't show as /dev/ttyUSB*... | 11:57 |
| BoltClock | hi, when i restart X by ctrl+alt+backspace, it fails to log me back in. also no login sound is played. so when X starts to go looney i have to restart my pc. could it be my hardware? | 11:57 |
| joaopinto | Bollinger, have you checked the system logs for any hints ? | 11:57 |
| ubuntu | .... | 11:57 |
| Squawk | BoltClock, unlikely to be hardware, maybe stop gdm so you can log into a console? | 11:58 |
| BoltClock | Squawk: gdm? | 11:58 |
| Shade_ | My remote control receiver shows in lsusb but I've got no ttyUSB* in /dev | 11:59 |
| Squawk | BoltClock, the display manager, hang on I might have forgotten its name, sec | 11:59 |
| Squawk | BoltClock, probably gdm but not definitely, might be xdm. currently not booted into ubuntu so I can't check | 12:00 |
| ubuntu | 安 | 12:00 |
| soundray | Shade_: this suggests that no driver is loaded. Run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see what messages are generated in the log while you plug the receiver in. | 12:00 |
| soundray | ubuntu: /join #ubuntu-tw | 12:00 |
| BoltClock | Squawk: aw. well im really new to ubuntu... | 12:00 |
| kahrytan | How do I label a partition in Hardy? e2label isnt available | 12:01 |
| saltedlight | hi. i'm trying to send mails using ssmtp but does not seems to work. do i have to install some other packages? | 12:01 |
| dr_Willis | kahrytan, i use the tune2fs program for that | 12:01 |
| Squawk | BoltClock, k probably not the best option then as I presume you will not be happy working from command line anyway. Hmm | 12:01 |
| remoteCTRL | how do i open and read a file line by line in a shell script? | 12:01 |
| ubuntu | soundray> ubuntu: /join #ubuntu-tw....... | 12:01 |
| joaopinto | saltedlight, have you checked postfix's log ? | 12:01 |
| soundray | kahrytan: tune2fs -L | 12:01 |
| jrib | kahrytan: it is in the e2fsprogs package | 12:01 |
| Shade_ | soundray: Sounds about right. USBView shows the device in red. | 12:01 |
| kahrytan | dr_Willis, not available | 12:01 |
| BoltClock | Squawk: oh i love learning the command line | 12:01 |
| Shade_ | !paste | 12:01 |

| dr_Willis | kahrytan, huh? its right here on my system. | 12:02 |
| Squawk | remoteCTRL, you could just do cat file | while read line, do; and so on | 12:02 |
| bazhang | ubuntu english here only | 12:02 |
| saltedlight | joaopinto, is only a lamp server, no mail server... | 12:02 |
| BoltClock | Squawk: new, but willing to learn :) | 12:02 |
| tonysan1 | hi all | 12:02 |
| joaopinto | saltedlight, how are you trying to send the emails ? | 12:02 |
| The-Seiman | Hello all | 12:02 |
| remoteCTRL | Squawk: well the while read line is the interesting part or is taht really the syntax? | 12:02 |
| Shade_ | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18707/ | 12:02 |
| kahrytan | dr_Willis, Well, not under it's own name | 12:02 |
| Kartagis | hi | 12:02 |
| dr_Willis | !find tune2fs | 12:02 |
| saltedlight | joaopinto, from a drupal site | 12:02 |
| ubottu | File tune2fs found in e2fsprogs, manpages-hu, manpages-it, manpages-ja, manpages-ko (and 3 others) | 12:03 |
| Squawk | remoteCTRL, thtsa it I think | 12:03 |
| soundray | BoltClock: see if you can log in in text mode after hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2 -- then try 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' | 12:03 |
| Shade_ | soundray: So the driver is the one supposed to create ttyUSB files? That explains it. | 12:03 |
| Squawk | BoltClock, hmm, I would need to boot to ubuntu to check exactly, but have a read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349517 | 12:03 |
| Kartagis | does ubuntu have a cd burner which can split into volumes? | 12:03 |
| BoltClock | soundray: and how do i get back? | 12:03 |
| Shade_ | soundray: But I've seen no references to a VLSystem MPlay Blast driver online, from online instructions it seemed as if the device should just be there... | 12:03 |
| The-Seiman | Can someone give me a step-by-step guide to compile the Linux kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES on ? because on my Ubuntu distro ( Hardy heron ), i can't use the setcap command :-/ | 12:03 |
| soundray | Shade_: please pastebin your lsusb output as well | 12:03 |
| joaopinto | saltedlight, have you set the smtp server on the php.ini file ? | 12:04 |
| soundray | BoltClock: to switch back to the graphics console, use Ctrl-Alt-F7 -- but the gdm restart command should take you there automatically | 12:04 |
| The-Seiman | or is there a patch to turn CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES on ? | 12:04 |
| saltedlight | joaopinto, yes: /usr/sbin/ssmtp | 12:04 |
| bazhang | The-Seiman, you mean something like apparmor or selinux? | 12:05 |
| remoteCTRL | Squawk: gosh, you cozuld be right indeed... thanks mate | 12:05 |
| joaopinto | SaLoMoN, hum ? I am refering to the server, not to a binary | 12:05 |
| joaopinto | erm, i meant saltedlight | 12:05 |
| Shade_ | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18708/ | 12:05 |
| The-Seiman | well I just wan't to give a specific program the permission to create a SOCK_RAW | 12:05 |
| Squawk | remoteCTRL, that are other ways othert than cat | read, thats just the first thing that came to my head. Ask in #bash if you want a better answer | 12:06 |
| The-Seiman | but I need to do sudo setcap cap_net_raw=ep /path/to/the/app | 12:06 |
| saltedlight | joaopinto, i'm not sure i understand... where should that be? | 12:06 |
| joaopinto | The-Seiman, I dout that you need to rebuild the kernel to get such ability.. | 12:06 |
| Shade_ | soundray: It's the Cygnal one. | 12:06 |
| AwaDoV | hello everyboddy | 12:06 |
| The-Seiman | and setcap can't work if CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is not on | 12:07 |
| AwaDoV | did anyone know how i can install driver ? | 12:07 |
| The-Seiman | so how to rebuild the kernel and get that option on ? | 12:07 |
| jrib | AwaDoV: hi, you need to be more specific | 12:07 |
| BoltClock | soundray: ok, so next time X goes looney i do that instead of restarting X directly? | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | !kernel | The-Seiman | 12:07 |
| ubottu | The-Seiman: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 12:07 |
| AwaDoV | i can't use any 3d on the desktop | 12:07 |
| poopuser | hi.is there any tutorial how to make hardy heron play dvd movies? | 12:07 |
| jrib | !nvidia > AwaDoV (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:08 |
| kahrytan | dr_Willis, The labels dont show up on desktop | 12:08 |
| erUSUL | AwaDoV: what driver? which hardware for? | 12:08 |
| jrib | !dvd > poopuser (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:08 |
| AwaDoV | and thats because the driver isn't installed and i can't know how i can install it | 12:08 |
| erUSUL | !dvd | poopuser | 12:08 |

| jrib | The-Seiman: it's usually not necessary | 12:09 |
| The-Seiman | a | 12:09 |
| The-Seiman | then how can I give a program the permission to create a SOCK_RAW without rebuilding the kernel ? | 12:09 |
| emma | poopuser: this is not really my place to say this, and this will be the only such comment I make, but why do you use such an undignified nick? It does not reflect well upon you and it is like wearing dirty clothes to a professional meeting. | 12:10 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, stop that. | 12:10 |
| soundray | Shade_: sorry, I can't find any hint on the web of your device being supported. Which URL has the instructions you were using? | 12:10 |
| BoltClock | soundray: next time X goes looney i do what you said instead of restarting X directly? | 12:11 |
| remoteCTRL | Squawk: even better, thanks mate! | 12:11 |
| poopuser | dear emma it's not place or time for discussing nicknames | 12:11 |
| alteregoa | high | 12:11 |
| * emma shrugs | 12:11 | |
| soundray | BoltClock: if it worked, then yes, that's what you can do. Still, it should relaunch automatically on Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, so something is still strange | 12:11 |
| palmje | My /tmp directory has suddenly changed to a capacity of 1MB when it should be a part of the root partition. When i us df -h I get the following for /tmp: | 12:12 |
| palmje | overflow 1.0M 800K 224K 79% /tmp | 12:12 |
| palmje | does anyone know how I can fix this problem? | 12:12 |
| soundray | poopuser: for what it's worth, I agree with emma | 12:12 |
| alteregoa | someone tried to run samba 4 on ubuntu? | 12:12 |
| BoltClock | soundray: yeah... what causes it to misbehave in the first place? (panels stop responding, terminal stops responding, nautilus freezes, etc, one by one) | 12:12 |
| soundray | BoltClock: you mean even before you hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? | 12:13 |
| ubuntu | 這裡有台灣人嘛？ | 12:13 |
| Shade_ | soundray: Actually, at this point I was just running standard lirc configuration | 12:13 |

| Shade_ | soundray: It asks for a driver ( I chose VLSystem MPlay ) and then for a /dev/ttyUSB* entry (but none exist) | 12:14 |
| soundray | Shade_: are you using a serial LIRC receiver on a USB-serial adapter? | 12:14 |

| Shade_ | soundray: It occurs to me that mine is the external USB version, and the driver | 12:15 |
| julio_neto | Hello everyone! | 12:15 |
| soundray | Shade_: I see. I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help you. | 12:15 |
| Shade_ | soundray: seems to have been written for the OEM version included in the Zaiman case# | 12:15 |
| alteregoa | are the configuration files backward compatible, e.g if i add some share with nautilus-share | 12:16 |
| Shade_ | soundray: Thanks anyway. So the ttyUSB entries appear because the driver creates them? | 12:16 |
| soundray | Shade_: yes | 12:16 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Taco | ||
| Shade_ | soundray: Thanks. That clears a lot, actually. Cheers | 12:16 |
| alteregoa | the problem is , samba 3. is slow, so samba 4 fixes some issues | 12:16 |
| soundray | BoltClock: I think you should run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' in a terminal window and see if those events are associated with any errors being logged. | 12:17 |
| alteregoa | tried to get 100gb of data from my server in a day the clients | 12:17 |

| dr_Willis | parker, You go LOOK at what it installed to learn the name of the command to use in the terminal. | 12:28 |
| dr_Willis | parker, it most likely installed somthing to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin that will be the command touse in the terminal. | 12:29 |

| ikonia | codyzapp: ubuntu doesn't write apps so to speak | 13:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | codyzapp there was a wish list on the wiki or in launchpad | 13:47 |
| Pici | codyzapp: Perhaps http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 13:47 |
| ikonia | codyzapp: but there are blueprints for long term plans or solutions | 13:47 |

| _eMaX_ | hi all | 13:48 |
| _eMaX_ | should anyone ever have random locks with a t60 and hardy, move on to 2.6.25. | 13:48 |
| thibault | I want to know how I can make desktop effects working when I start. I don't want to had compiz in the "session" program. | 13:48 |
| ikonia | _eMaX_: as its not a packaged kernel, I'd suggest not | 13:48 |
| _eMaX_ | well better than having random hard locks every couple of minutes | 13:49 |
| ikonia | how do you know thats the kernel ? | 13:49 |
| PennyCostco | i have 512 ram, and in system monitor it says it is using 308 mb of ram and 159 mb of swap... why use swap while there is lot of available ram ? | 13:51 |
| Assid | t60 ? | 13:51 |
| ikonia | Assid: thinkpad | 13:51 |
| _eMaX_ | well I have random locks depending on the use of the built-in network adapter (wired) on a thinkpad t60p. Tried about everything (takes a while to find out to what it is related, as obviously no log is written). Finally found other people having the same problems (just google for "worst ubuntu ever") and followed the advice to go for 2.6.25 - and problems are gone | 13:52 |
| Assid | PennyCostco: when data is not needed .. its flushed to swap | 13:52 |
| ikonia | PennyCostco: unused processes are swapped out to save ram | 13:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PennyCostco How much ram are you sharing with onboard video | 13:52 |

| Rampage | BoltClock: Oh, i've had a few problems where it doesn't know my keybaord exists. Usually its after rebooting and starting a video. I literally have to kill the power and reboot after which its fine | 13:59 |
| shashi__ | Why ubuntu behaves like this ? what is the permanent solution ? | 13:59 |
| _eMaX_ | BoltClock did that start happening since you went to 8.04? | 13:59 |

| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock Basic information to help us help you: Which release of Ubuntu, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | gbls: is mysql running ? have you set a default root password ? is your host allowed to connect ? | 14:02 |
| _eMaX_ | gbls did you try actually connecting using a password? | 14:02 |
| gbls | yes mysql is running and i have set a default root password | 14:02 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: 8.04, i modified and later reverted the change, compiled which programs? its a regular install from the liveCD, not wubi | 14:02 |
| randall | when will ubuntu be fixing the problem with java cause does not run correctly on ubuntu is there a fix? | 14:02 |
| gbls | yes that is what the password: YES means | 14:03 |
| mangojambo | Jack_Sparrow: that is my bios: http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/1602/dscn4025sp7.jpg ... http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/3581/dscn4026jg7.jpg ... http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9955/dscn4028gc2.jpg | 14:03 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: what do you mean | 14:03 |
| BoltClock | gbls: it means a password was used | 14:03 |
| gbls | what do you mean by is my host allowed to connect | 14:03 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: do you mean, like swing or swt programs? | 14:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock modified and later reverted what change | 14:03 |
| randall | like games will not run that need java or certain websites wont run java right | 14:03 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: are u using compiz? | 14:04 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: actually i think i have a clue now. i recall it was for wxWidgets... and i was actually trying to compile something (i forget what) that needed it | 14:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !who | randall | 14:04 |
| ubottu | randall: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:04 |
| mangojambo | Jack_Sparrow: there is no other place showing about sata ... | 14:04 |

| ac3 | Hi | 14:04 |
| gbls | ikonia: what do you mean by "is your host allowed to connect ?" | 14:04 |
| ac3 | How can i use a password that is stored in gnome-keyring in a script? | 14:04 |
| ac3 | When i run the script it asks for a password, while it needs to get this password from the gnome-keyring which is unlocked after gdm login | 14:04 |
| randall | _eMaX_: yes | 14:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock That would be a good place to start looking.. espoecially since it didnt go through/compile correctly | 14:05 |
| mangojambo | Stevethepirate: what? Is it so bad? ;) | 14:05 |
| _eMaX_ | ac3: something like echo $user | gnome-keyring --decrypt --password GNOME_MASTER_PASSWORD | 14:05 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: I've got major problems w/ like running Eclipse under compiz. | 14:05 |
| ac3 | _eMaX_: what is the gnome master password? | 14:06 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: there's no solution as this is on the Sun side of life | 14:06 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: so I use Xephyr | 14:06 |
| Flynsarmy | If the auto-update installs a new kernel, is it normal to have both the new and old kernel be displayed in grub? | 14:06 |
| _eMaX_ | Flynsarmy: yes | 14:06 |
| kripz | when can we expect pidgin 2.4.2 in the repositories? | 14:06 |
| randall | _eMaX_: ok ty java needs to get on the ball and fix things lol | 14:06 |
| sapiens | türkçe bilen services admin varmı ? | 14:06 |
| ac3 | i also use the keyring for unlokking my ssh passphrase, and this works out of the box:) | 14:06 |
| randall | _eMaX_: its kills me when java dont work | 14:06 |
| Flynsarmy | _eMaX: I now have 3 of htem both in regular and safe mode in grub. Will it just keep installing more and more or will ubuntu eventually delete the old ones? | 14:06 |
| Taco | #123 | 14:06 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: so what exactly is your advice for now? | 14:07 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: found posts like 2 yrs old about that problem | 14:07 |
| Taco | #ubuntu-tw | 14:07 |
| _eMaX_ | Flynsarmy: no | 14:07 |
| gbls | _emax_: any ideas why i cant connect to my mysql please | 14:07 |
| Kartagis | Im | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mangojambo I dont have an answer for that | 14:07 |
| _eMaX_ | Flynsarmy: you're welcome to sudo gedit /boot/grub/menul.st | 14:07 |
| _eMaX_ | aeh - menu.lst | 14:07 |
| _eMaX_ | gbls can you connect as root | 14:07 |
| Flynsarmy | _eMaX_: But aren't all the versions that are installed taking up a bunch of space? | 14:07 |
| Taco | #ubuntu-tw | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock run this for me sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 14:07 |
| randall | _eMaX_: where are them posts at may i read | 14:08 |
| gbls | emax: tried that it is like it is there but is not authenticating the host properly | 14:08 |
| _eMaX_ | Flynsarmy: yes but you can delete them. Just make sure you leave at least one kernel of which you know it works. | 14:08 |
| Ingrater | since I upgraded to 8.04 the booting process takes extremly long (compared to before) and some error messeages occur. Also all my partitions on my 2 harddrives don't show up any more in ~/media/ after reboot. I have to browse onto them with the file browser. Then they appear in ~/media/. The output of the booting process can be found at: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/178605/ | 14:08 |
| _eMaX_ | randall: google for java xephyr compiz or so | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _eMaX_ Please dont suggest sudo gedit use gksudo gedit gksudo is for gui apps | 14:08 |
| randall | _eMaX_: ok tyvm | 14:08 |
| gbls | emax: i can connect if skip_grant_tables is turned on and only then | 14:08 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f79da6b12 | 14:09 |
| mangojambo | Jack_Sparrow: looks like the bios set it automaticaly | 14:09 |
| _eMaX_ | Jack_Sparrow: I've a good reason not to use gksudo - it relies on gnome-keyring which in turn fucks up evolution | 14:09 |
| ac3 | _eMaX_: which packet contains the executable gnome-keyring? | 14:09 |
| _eMaX_ | gnome-keyring-manager or so | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _eMaX_ Watch the language... | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _eMaX_ Dont suggest to people that they sudo gui apps... | 14:10 |
| _eMaX_ | Jack_Sparrow: I've a good reason to watch my language with great admiration about the clarity, the depth of thought and the entymological directness | 14:10 |
| mangojambo | Jack_Sparrow: well, I'm doing the update right now ... there is a initramfs-tool package on that update ... I hope that fix my problem!! :/ | 14:10 |

| unreal-fighter | hallo | 14:13 |
| Flynsarmy | Jack_Sparrow: Is there any benefit for using gksudo for graphical apps over sudo? | 14:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flynsarmy yes | 14:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 14:13 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:13 |

| Kartagis | how can I upgrade or | 14:15 |
| Rampage | Ah i see | 14:15 |
| ALLpt | Rampage the only aplication that i find from RAR files, only allow me create and extrar rar files | 14:15 |
| Rampage | thanks Jack_Sparrow | 14:15 |
| ALLpt | dont give me much options :S | 14:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 14:15 |
| Kartagis | how can I upgrade a specific package? | 14:15 |
| Rampage | ALLpt: search synaptic for unrar | 14:15 |
| Ingrater | does no one have a clue what could cause my problem? | 14:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ALLpt You can look into tar for splitting achives | 14:16 |
| ALLpt | i search for rar and then i install the program that show-me | 14:16 |
| Rampage | ALLpt: Actually read the man pages, you need to tinker with the options there | 14:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis Sounds like you want a newer version than the tested ones in our repos. | 14:16 |
| Rampage | "man rar" or "man unrar" ALLpt | 14:17 |
| PPKuma | hi, how can i mv wihout destroying the source folder? | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rar | 14:17 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 14:17 |

| sidelil | Hello everybody. On ITV website you can watch tv live i think, but they say you need Microsoft Silverlight to watch it. Is it possible to do it on ubuntu somehow? | 14:17 |
| Rampage | PPKuma: Use cp | 14:17 |
| Kartagis | Jack_Sparrow: yes | 14:17 |
| PPKuma | Rampage: is the only way? =/ | 14:17 |
| PPKuma | Rampage: no, i think im not making myself clear | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis Which one.. and may I suggest a good backup first as many people seem to forget to do that these days | 14:18 |
| Kartagis | Jack_Sparrow: vinagre | 14:18 |
| Rampage | PPKuma: rephrase your question please, i might not have got it right | 14:18 |
| ghatak | Hi, how do i find refresh rates for my monitor | 14:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find vinagre | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Found: vinagre | 14:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info vinagre | 14:18 |

| f0rmat | i am having network problems apparently synaptic connects to port 4004 on 127.0.0.1 | 14:19 |
| f0rmat | :S | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis I suggest you make sure that there is a new feature that you really need and that you are not just wanting the newest version for the sake of newer | 14:19 |
| PPKuma | Rampage: if i "mv foo/ dest/" then the result es dest/bar.mp3 | 14:19 |
| randall | how do i uninstall firefox 3.0 b5 and install firefox 2.0.0.14 and what version java works with 2.0.0.14 | 14:19 |
| Rampage | PPKuma: You want to keep the folder foo/ and move everything from whats in there to dest/? | 14:20 |
| PPKuma | Rampage: how can i make the mv so i get dest/foo/bar.mp3 | 14:20 |
| soundray | f0rmat: you must have set a proxy somewhere. Any output from 'env | grep -i proxy'? | 14:20 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: what next? | 14:20 |
| DASPRiD | randall, depends, 32 or 64 bit | 14:20 |
| Rampage | PPKuma: Ah i see | 14:20 |
| randall | DASPRiD: 32 | 14:20 |
| PPKuma | Rampage: exactly | 14:20 |
| Kartagis | Jack_Sparrow: dev told me to get the newer version because there is a bug in 0.5 | 14:20 |
| soundray | randall: you don't need to uninstall -- you can install firefox-2 next to ff3 | 14:20 |
| DASPRiD | randall, then the same which works with ff 3 | 14:20 |
| Rampage | PPKuma: So "mkdir dest && mv foo/ dest/" | 14:20 |
| randall | DASPRiD: ok so just install ff2 next to ff3 | 14:21 |
| Rampage | PPKuma: hope that helps | 14:21 |
| PPKuma | Rampage: thanks | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis HAve you experienced the bug? And I would have expected them to tell you how to get the newer version if they are telling you that you need it | 14:21 |
| DASPRiD | randall, u can do that, yes | 14:21 |
| randall | DASPRiD: i like it better than 3 | 14:21 |
| brubelsabs | how do i recompile a source package? | 14:22 |
| soundray | !compile | brubelsabs | 14:22 |
| ubottu | brubelsabs: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 14:22 |
| randall | DASPRiD: kk ty | 14:22 |
| Kartagis | Jack_Sparrow: I found it on their homepage, and yes I have experienced the bug | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock Not knowing what you tried to compile or where it went wrong I dont have a good answer | 14:22 |
| arahim | is it sdafe to delete ~/.gnome folder when installing a new linux distro (separate /home folder) | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis do they have a deb on the home page or just the source | 14:22 |
| nibu | hi! someone knows where can I make the config. like I do in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/http:/ifcfg-ethX | 14:22 |
| nibu | I just wanna make sure that the IP address will be on the correct interface (in red-hat I do this by the MAC address in the file I told)... | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arahim let me show you a link.. | 14:23 |
| arahim | ok jack | 14:23 |
| Kartagis | they have the .deb only for the 0.5 version. 2.23 had the sourced | 14:23 |
| Kartagis | sources | 14:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arahim sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ | 14:23 |
| brubelsabs | ubottu: no, libcurl is already in the repos I need this library with different configure flags, but I dunno how I do this? | 14:24 |
| arahim | thanks jack | 14:24 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: IIRC it was filezilla | 14:24 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: later i remembered i could just grab it from the repos so i did | 14:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis If it is something you must have then you will need to learn how to compile programs, something I dont have time to show you | 14:24 |
| Pici | brubelsabs: ubottu is a bot | 14:25 |
| Rampage | Kartagis: they must have a guide to compile applications on the website of the application | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock May I assume things were working before that | 14:25 |
| Kartagis | Jack_Sparrow: I know how to compile thanks, I was just wondering if I can upgrade it via apt-get | 14:26 |
| Ingrater | since I upgraded to 8.04 the booting process takes extremly long (compared to before) and some error messeages occur. Also all my partitions on my 2 harddrives don't show up any more in ~/media/ after reboot. I have to browse onto them with the file browser. Then they appear in ~/media/. The output of the booting process can be found at: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/178605/ | 14:26 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: i honestly dont remember | 14:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kartagis not if it isnt in the repos | 14:26 |
| soundray | brubelsabs: if you enable source repositories (System-Admin-Software sources), you can 'mkdir libcurl-recompile && cd libcurl-recompile && apt-get source libcurl3' | 14:26 |
| brubelsabs | Pici: a thanks | 14:26 |
| drash | brubelsabs: ubottu is a IRC-bot, if you need different configure flags you will have to compile yourseld (check the "./configure --help" command of your sources, they should have all the info | 14:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock If you have a sep /home partition I would just stamp a fresh ubuntu on there.. rather than trying to troubleshoot something like that | 14:27 |
| brubelsabs | soundray: ok I can go till the step with apt-get source, I even know what compiler flag I have to use: "--enable-ares" but I don't know where to specify and then how to rebuild that package | 14:28 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: nope, i dont :S | 14:28 |
| soundray | brubelsabs: the default compile settings are made in files within the debian subdirectory | 14:28 |
| brubelsabs | soundray: rules? | 14:29 |
| soundray | brubelsabs: yes, that's one of them | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock Up to you.... you can backup your /home , you can resize your partitions and create a sep /home or you can continue to try and troubleshoot your problem. But since it isnt something we have seen. It is most likely that failed filezilla compile you were working on.. | 14:29 |
| soundray | brubelsabs: from here on, you're ahead of me ;) | 14:30 |
| brubelsabs | I've heard of the "prevu" script.. which runs through very nicely if I didn't specify the "--enable-ares" flag. But if I enable the flag, the chroot is missing a package. You don't accidentally knwo how I could force the chroot env to install a specific package | 14:30 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow: hang on. soundray was helping me out on this X problem earlier today | 14:30 |
| mangojambo | hi... I need a help from who capture minidv video (using kino, probaly)... all videos I'd capture comes bugged, with little mistakes on video (like 'squares' on screen) and audio (noise on sound)... probaly because processor goes high sometimes when the capture is runnig ... Do someone knows something about that ? | 14:30 |

| BoltClock | soundray: ah... :/ | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soundray Hey.. dont be agreeing with me.. not this early in the day | 14:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ASULutzy sounds like he deleted a small recovery partition on an hp oe comapq | 16:38 |
| TecnoBrat | rdz, boot the windows CD, go to recovery console, type "fixboot" and "fixmbr", it will overwrite your grub boot loader, but thats okay, boot back into linux using the ubuntu CD, and then reinstall grub on your MBR | 16:38 |

| eviltim | ok | 16:39 |
| rdz | ASULutzy, i assume it was used for all the OEM preinstallation stuff | 16:39 |

| TecnoBrat | ASULutzy, windows gets confused internally when you change the number it used to have. | 16:40 |
| rdz | ASULutzy, as far as i understand, i can load the windows loader, but the windows loader cannot boot windows.. but i am not sure.. | 16:40 |
| TecnoBrat | partition number* | 16:40 |
| eviltim | thats what my zip says | 16:41 |

| ASULutzy | rdz: Good luck! | 16:42 |
| In-Sane`` | When I install kubuntu-desktop , will that include the packages too? or do I need to log onto kde and install the packges manually? sorry for repeating | 16:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eviltim is there an iso in that zip | 16:42 |
| === Ur[a]nellus is now known as Uranellus | ||
| eviltim | its stil unzipping | 16:42 |
| rdz | ASULutzy, thanks | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eviltim isorecorder is an easy way to burn iso images to a cd | 16:43 |
| ASULutzy | eviltim: Unzipping? I didn't know the ubuntu dvd/cd came zipped :P | 16:43 |
| eviltim | of coure it does | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ASULutzy Agreed | 16:43 |
| eviltim | type:winrar archive | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eviltim No, ubuntu is not realeased by US as a zip | 16:43 |
| eviltim | OK | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | or rar | 16:43 |
| cognatus | eviltim you're not supposed to unpack the .iso | 16:43 |
| ASULutzy | eviltim: I've only ever downloaded .iso files.... I've never seen a .zip or .rar of Ubuntu | 16:44 |
| In-Sane`` | eviltim: i think that is an iso file but it appears as it is a rar or a zip file in windows ( it happened with me). Just right click on it and select open with Nero or anyother burning software, everything should be ok after the burning | 16:44 |
| eviltim | Ive never seen an iso | 16:44 |
| cognatus | use xpburner to simply burn the .iso to cd | 16:44 |
| eviltim | oh ok | 16:44 |
| eviltim | :D | 16:44 |
| ASULutzy | eviltim: If you downloaded it from the ubuntu website it's an .iso | 16:44 |
| eviltim | so windows thinks its a zio | 16:44 |
| eviltim | *zip | 16:44 |
| joaopinto | eviltim, it is not windows, it's whatever zip app you installed that associated itself to .isos | 16:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eviltim download isorecorder... free windows software and try right clicking the rar you have of ubuntu and writing to disk | 16:45 |
| ASULutzy | eviltim: Go download a piece of burning software. I think Jack_Sparrow mentioned isorecorder, Nero would work | 16:45 |
| cognatus | yes but it's not | 16:45 |
| cognatus | there's a great open source burner for windows | 16:45 |
| eviltim | ok | 16:45 |
| cognatus | i can't remember the name | 16:45 |
| eviltim | thanks a lot guys | 16:45 |
| joaopinto | infrarecorder | 16:45 |
| In-Sane`` | cognatus: whats that? | 16:45 |
| dryrot | usb drive might work for you too | 16:45 |
| ASULutzy | eviltim: Once you install that program you'll want to open it and hit "burn image" and point it to the ubuntu file | 16:45 |
| In-Sane`` | cognatus: ah, it is ok | 16:45 |
| eviltim | ok | 16:45 |

| eviltim | will it work? | 16:58 |
| magnetron | oreomike: yes, then you should disable the screen saver. but really, the everyday user account should not have admin capabilites. make a new user account that you auto-login too. | 16:58 |

| TecnoBrat | oreomike, auto-login normal user + sudo .... its not politics, its being a smart admin. You stop yourself from being able to break things easily. | 17:00 |
| oreomike | Tecnobrat: for a home computer that will display a calendar, I prefer the ability to sudo with my auto-login account | 17:01 |
| magnetron | oreomike: you still can | 17:02 |
| leo | yuuu | 17:02 |
| oreomike | tecnobrat, if you want to break into my house, then sudo on my shared computer, I have bigger problems than just the sudo-part | 17:02 |
| oreomike | tecnobrat: particularly I need a better lock on my front door. | 17:03 |
| magnetron | oreomike: you are totally misunderstanding both of use | 17:03 |
| magnetron | oreomike: *us | 17:03 |
| magnetron | oreomike: YOU say that you don | 17:03 |
| TecnoBrat | I've nuked whole usr dirs before, cause I was logged in as admin, and didn't realize I was in the directory I was in :P | 17:04 |
| TecnoBrat | its just too easy when you don't have to sudo | 17:04 |
| magnetron | oreomike: YOU say that you don't want your kids to be able to use sudo. then I say that you should give them their own account and make that an ordinary account | 17:04 |
| oreomike | I still have to type sudo and enter a password to do any damage | 17:04 |
| kjd-ro | hello... my question : is there a way to add a new user in the form of : name.surname ??? and to put that user administrator and other privialges .. this preferably from gui | 17:05 |
| codecaine | What are you talking about oreomike | 17:05 |
| magnetron | oreomike: and as a side effect, you can't use the screen saver. your "solution" doesn't really solve your problem, does it? | 17:05 |
| Rampage | kjd-ro: System -> Admin -> Users & Groups | 17:05 |
| magnetron | oreomike: if you want advice, be ready to listen. if you just want to carry on as usual, feel free to do so. | 17:06 |
| oreomike | If I wasn't in the sudoers group, I could resume from hibernate without a password? | 17:06 |

| eviltim | when I try to burn the iso | 17:06 |
| oreomike | magnetron: I understand your point, but I am just trying to solve the hibernate issue. I can startup from shutdown fine, but I can't startup from hibernate without typing my password | 17:06 |
| Tux | I need to fix this external drive which wont mount | 17:06 |
| kjd-ro | it can be when using adduser --force-badname | 17:07 |
| kjd-ro | but then i dont have privilages set up | 17:07 |
| oreomike | magnetron: if it is due to my sudoers group membership, I can fix that. | 17:07 |
| Tux | says something about still in use in the log file idk? | 17:07 |
| magnetron | oreomike: give your kids their own account with their own password. then you can give the password to their kids and allow to log in from hibernate - just give them their own password | 17:07 |
| Rampage | kjd-ro: "." can not be used in a username | 17:07 |

| ingo | i need to replace the xserver-xorg-video-cirrus by the "intel" one - plaese help | 17:19 |
| AMDfanboy | tanaoa: i haev a similar problem. network manager finds all the networks but wont connect to any of them. | 17:19 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: how do I make it so that if userA creates a file, userB can write to it? | 17:19 |
| taurusivy | apt search output: 'browser-history debian-history', which one should i get ? | 17:19 |
| Tanaoa | net manager wont even display the networks in the area | 17:19 |
| Tanaoa | my laptop (windows) see's about a half dozen .. so I know they are there | 17:20 |
| codecaine | VSpike you can add them to a group or change the privs for everybody | 17:20 |
| The-Seiman | or how can I allow a program to create raw sockets without being root please ? :/ | 17:20 |
| RLE2008 | it displays everything on mine | 17:20 |
| Tanaoa | ive installed the windows drivers ... the card 'works' as long as it doesnt loose the signal | 17:20 |
| derspankster | Has anyone have any experience with a stardot wincam live? I had it working in Feisty then it quit and I've never been able to get it to work again. I ran it with Wine. Now, the camera can't communicate with the computer. | 17:20 |
| Tanaoa | there is no "repair" function I have noticed | 17:20 |
| codecaine | The-Seiman port over 6000 don't need root | 17:20 |

| donald_duck | wats it mean when a process is using 178% cpu? | 17:20 |
| codecaine | 60000 | 17:21 |
| rickbradley | donald_duck: you've got a multi-core machine :-) | 17:21 |
| The-Seiman | but the ports used are below 60000 ... | 17:21 |
| The-Seiman | ( 55XXX or something like that ) | 17:21 |
| RLE2008 | to many people needing help by | 17:21 |
| CaMason | hi guys. I'm just about to try installing 8.04, (Vista already installed). Just incase the install goes wrong, how easy is it to restore the vista bootloader? | 17:21 |
| joaopinto | The-Seiman, as far as I remeber raw sockets were restricted to root a long time ago, that is a security setting and I do not believe you can bypass it | 17:21 |
| taurusivy | i installed both, still no good | 17:21 |
| David__ | hello | 17:21 |
| AMDfanboy | tanaoa: what kind of chipset? | 17:21 |
| Jeren | Greetings folks. I'm trying to install an Intel Pro 100/S Network Adapter on my Xubuntu machine but the drivers I downloaded from Intel will not compile. Does anyone have experience with this network interface? | 17:21 |
| David__ | can someone tell me if using wubi is a good idea. | 17:21 |
| Jontis | Question: Can you use what in windows is called "repair" on a network connection (like restarting the connection)? | 17:22 |
| Tanaoa | well the card says v4 so I assume its v4.0 and so its a Ralink RT2500 | 17:22 |
| VSpike | codecaine: Is there any way to do it so that file created by one user is automatically writeable by another, without the creator or superuser having to modify permissions or ownership? | 17:22 |
| joaopinto | codecaine, that is not correct, root is required for port nrs <1024 | 17:22 |
| David__ | I tryed it like 3 times and all three times it didnt work would just freeze | 17:22 |
| Rampage | David__: If you don;t want to create separate partitions then wubi is good | 17:22 |
| The-Seiman | joaopinto, i think i can, but i need then to recompile the kernel and enable CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES | 17:22 |
| Rampage | David__: it does however have its setbacks, read the wubi website for more info | 17:22 |
| The-Seiman | and I don't know how to do that | 17:22 |
| joaopinto | VSpike, the user profile could use umask to set +w for the group, by default, however that will affect every file created by the user, not only the files from a specific dir | 17:23 |
| codecaine | VSpike chmod 777 filename | 17:23 |
| AMDfanboy | tanaoa: sorry dude, mine is a broadcom card. i really have no idea. find the ralink irc room or a thread in the forums. | 17:23 |
| David__ | well, i want to use ubuntu first before I install....I burned a disc and tryed booting into linux off disc but it would just freeze | 17:23 |
| kjd-ro | can pls someon help me out whit configuring NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*\$" to accept after some characters a point "." ? | 17:23 |
| Rampage | David__: alternatively you could always create a new partition for ubuntu and install in there (dual boot with windows) | 17:23 |
| David__ | you think if i put the error code i was getting you can take a look at it for me | 17:23 |
| AMDfanboy | i think the forums are a way better place to post than this for such a specific weird problem | 17:23 |
| codecaine | David I said 60000 | 17:23 |
| rickbradley | so, I have an edgy (6.10) system I'm trying to incrementally upgrade to the latest, but the first step (getting the upgrade manager up-to-date) fails because noone seems to be hosting the edgy packages any more (I get 404's in my apt-get update) -- any way around this? | 17:23 |
| codecaine | and up | 17:23 |
| AMDfanboy | i'm here just cause i'm deserpate | 17:23 |
| David__ | what is 60000 | 17:23 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: presumably you want to use the setgid bit on the public directory? | 17:23 |
| Tanaoa | ;) no one is here for fun AMD | 17:24 |
| enterneo | on ubuntu hardy heron, i have installed netbeans 6.0.1 from the repositories, i am starting to learn servlets so i was trying to install tomcat today, i found a tomcat plugin in the IDE plugins dialog, installed it, does it mean that tomcat has been installed already now, or will the plugin just help me to connect to my tomcat installation? | 17:24 |
| codecaine | port number | 17:24 |
| David__ | i dont know what that means | 17:24 |
| joaopinto | VSpike, well, not setgid, you want to use umask 077 | 17:24 |
| David__ | do i got to change my ports or something | 17:24 |
| codecaine | hehe don't worry about it :) | 17:24 |
| Rampage | wasn;t that The-Seiman aksing that codecaine | 17:24 |
| David__ | ok | 17:24 |
| rickbradley | enterneo: probably just that netbeans has the ability to connect to tomcat, if tomcat is installed separately | 17:24 |
| pen | how do I make evdev work after boot? my mouse can't be detected if I plug usb receiver after boot | 17:24 |
| codecaine | no you dno' thave to I was explain how to use ports that don't require root access | 17:24 |
| The-Seiman | no one has tried fscaps ? | 17:25 |
| joaopinto | The-Seiman, anyway, why do you need raw sockets for a regular user ? | 17:25 |
| The-Seiman | well, many windows apps use raw sockets | 17:25 |
| Tanaoa | how about this, how can I repair a disconnected WLAN connection in Ubuntu (like a windows network repair) ? | 17:25 |
| enterneo | rickbradley: but netbeans 6.0 had bundled tomcat i assume? | 17:25 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: what's the point in making the files group writeable if by default they will all have different groups? | 17:25 |
| Tanaoa | taking down the port doesnt seem to do it | 17:25 |
| David__ | this is the error messege i was getting | 17:25 |
| David__ | /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: not found | 17:25 |
| The-Seiman | and to make them work with wine, I need to allow wine to create raw sockets | 17:25 |
| David__ | init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for re-default :no such file or directory | 17:25 |
| David__ | init:rc -default main process (6863) terminated with status 255 | 17:25 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: unless you set everyone's primary group to be the same | 17:25 |
| FloodBot3 | David__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:25 |
| joaopinto | VSpike, not if you set all users to have the same primary group | 17:25 |
| rickbradley | enterneo: not sure. I would try firing up the tomcat connectivity and see what happens | 17:25 |
| The-Seiman | that's usually the case with Win32 MMORPG's | 17:25 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: setting setgid mean the files get the gid of the parent directory | 17:26 |
| David__ | very sorry floor bot | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The-Seiman /join #winehq | 17:26 |
| Jeren | Greetings folks. I'm trying to install an Intel Pro 100/S Network Adapter on my Xubuntu machine but the drivers I downloaded from Intel will not compile. Does anyone have experience with this network interface? | 17:26 |
| David__ | i mean floor | 17:26 |
| rickbradley | enterneo: you can also say: dpkg --list | grep -i tomcat | 17:26 |
| joaopinto | The-Seiman, mmorpgs should use regular sockets | 17:26 |
| joaopinto | The-Compiler, anyway, have you tried setting suid on wine ? (It is not safe) | 17:26 |
| rickbradley | so, to restate my question -- is there anything I can put in my edgy /etc/apt/sources.list file which will get me to a working repo of edgy packages so I can upgrade the update manager software so I can upgrade? | 17:27 |
| The-Seiman | I've already asked on #winehq and they said that my distro is too user-friendly and needs a fresh compiled kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES on . | 17:27 |
| enterneo | rickbradley: ah!, does not show anything | 17:27 |
| dreadful_great | is there anyway to change the default location of windows when the open? | 17:27 |
| dreadful_great | *they | 17:27 |
| enterneo | rickbradley: i assume then the netbeans in the repositories is not the netbeans with J2EE bundled | 17:27 |
| The-Seiman | so that I can use sudo setcap cap_net_raw=ep /usr/bin/wine | 17:27 |
| hansengel | Hi, is there any way to capture the sound that's coming out of my speakers to an audio file? I did some googling and apparently I need 'ALSA loopback support' - how can I check if I have this? | 17:27 |
| rickbradley | enterneo: I wouldn't know, but it sounds like "no" | 17:27 |
| rgsteele||work | Hey folks, I'm trying to set up a new monitor on my Hardy box, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg never prompts me for screen resolutions, or anything involving my monitor at all. My xorg.conf doesn't even have any Modes lines. | 17:28 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: that advantage of that is that only files saved under that heirarchy are writeable to the public files group.. stuff in your home, for example, is writeable by your primary group which can include only you if desired | 17:28 |
| enterneo | rickbradley: is tomcat in the ubuntu repositores? | 17:28 |
| rgsteele||work | Is my only option to hand-craft the xorg.conf? | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rickbradley The short answer is no.. but I did see that someone still had a mirror up for that... If you have a full backup you can changes edgy in sources to feisty and try.. I will look to see if I can spot that odd mirror of old repos | 17:28 |
| rickbradley | Jack_Sparrow: many thanks | 17:28 |
| VSpike | joaopinto: at least, that's the best i can come up with .. wanted to see if there was any better way to do it | 17:28 |
| codecaine | dreadful_great check in gconf-editor under natulius | 17:28 |
| joaopinto | VSpike, dont think so | 17:29 |
| David__ | is my error messege /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: not found | 17:29 |
| akahige | I'm having a problem browsing samba (smb) shares. I get an error "can't display... there is no application installed for this file type"... this used to work. any idea what's going on or how I can fix it? | 17:29 |
| David__ | init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for re-default :no such file or directory | 17:29 |
| dreadful_great | codecaine: sweet, thanks | 17:29 |
| David__ | init:rc -default main process (6863) terminated with status 255 | 17:29 |
| codecaine | np | 17:29 |
| rickbradley | enterneo: googling for ubuntu tomcat seems to turn up how-tos, so this looks like a "build it from source" operation, best I can tell | 17:29 |
| maybeway36 | akahige: run in terminal "smbclinet -L //computername" see if this works or not | 17:29 |
| Netham45 | Someone wants me to SSH into their box and configure a program, but said program requires the usage of X, anyone know how, using PuTTY and Xming, I can forward the output to my | 17:29 |
| Netham45 | to my PC? | 17:29 |
| The-Seiman | so, no one has tried to patch his kernel with fscaps ? | 17:29 |
| maybeway36 | i meant smbclient | 17:29 |
| enterneo | rickbradley: thanks! | 17:29 |
| caco | how to enable wireless i acer 4520 | 17:29 |
| David__ | sorry if double posted i dont know if the flood bot let me other messeges go | 17:29 |
| my_key | Does anybody how to re-add what was removed by this command: "sudo update-rc.d -f linux-restricted-modules-common remove" ? | 17:29 |
| maybeway36 | Netham45: in Putty there is an option on the left: SSH>X11 or something similar | 17:30 |
| maybeway36 | then make sure Xming is running\ | 17:30 |
| joaopinto | Jack_Sparrow, rickbradley : there is an old.releases.ubuntu.com | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto Thanks | 17:30 |
| rickbradley | joaopinto: thanks, I will check that out | 17:30 |
| VSpike | unix file permissions are a bit limited compared to nt ones huh | 17:30 |
| Netham45 | ok, maybeway36. :) | 17:30 |
| VSpike | but a lot less complicated i guess | 17:30 |
| my_key | I tried reinstalling the latest kernel, but the problem remains | 17:30 |
| codecaine | VSpike no you have more advantages | 17:30 |
| Tanaoa | im getting "iwlist scan" as No Scan Results | 17:30 |
| eviltim | hello again | 17:30 |
| Tanaoa | but ive used this card on a windows machine and it scans fine | 17:31 |
| joaopinto | my_key, mand update-rc.d , there should be an option to readd the link | 17:31 |
| akahige | maybeway36: I have a list of directories. one of which was the one I was trying to attach to | 17:31 |
| VSpike | my_key: I think same again without the word "remove" on the end | 17:31 |
| maybeway36 | good | 17:31 |
| maybeway36 | so that worked | 17:32 |
| codecaine | VSPike we been shoing you how to use them for with ocal numbers 1 is so the execute 2 write and read 4 you add the numbers you want to give those premssions | 17:32 |
| VSpike | my_key: oops yeah lose the "-f" too | 17:32 |
| my_key | VSpike: tried that too, but to no avail | 17:32 |
| eviltim | When I try to install it from the live cd,It says no root file system is specified.I choose whatever file system,but it still says no root system! | 17:32 |
| codecaine | so 4+2 = 6; 6 will be for reading and writing | 17:32 |
| maybeway36 | akahige: try Alt-F2, then type "smb://computername" | 17:32 |
| maybeway36 | and if all else fails, konqueror would work, but that's kde | 17:32 |
| dreadful_great | codecaine: can't find anything in gconf-editor that mentions window location or similar | 17:32 |
| my_key | will look into joaopinto 's suggestion :) | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto It shows edgy in the top menu.. but none of the edgy repos are there | 17:32 |
| zetheroo | is there no region-free DVD player for linux? | 17:32 |
| Mice | I lost my Knoppix disk and I am attempting to recover files off of a HDD with a crashed copy of Windows using the Ubuntu Bootable Disc... How do I mount the windows hdd? | 17:33 |
| VSpike | codecaine: yep.. but in NT you can create a public directory and set the permissions you want, and files written into it will inherit by default those permissions | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mice Do you know the windows partition you want to mount and which ubuntu are you using | 17:33 |
| joaopinto | Jack_Sparrow,I didn't tested it myself, but it was suppoed to have the older releases :( | 17:33 |
| ASULutzy | Mice: type sudo fdisk -l and give us the output. Once you find out what partition it is just sudo mkdir /media/Windows then sudo mount /dev/thePartition | 17:33 |
| maybeway36 | Mice: mkdir A;sudo mount /dev/xxx -t ntfs-3g A | 17:33 |
| codecaine | im not on my desktopt so I can directly look at mine dreadful_great sorry | 17:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto Edgy isnt there | 17:33 |
| dreadful_great | codecaine: that's cool, thanks | 17:33 |
| Mice | 6.10, and the hdd is /dev/hda1/ | 17:33 |
| digilink | #debian | 17:33 |
| joaopinto | ok :\ | 17:34 |
| VSpike | codecaine: there's no way in unix to achieve the same without changing umask for all files written by the user anywhere | 17:34 |
| Netham45 | what's a good program for burning a bootable CD? | 17:34 |
| ASULutzy | Mice: So sudo mkdir /media/windows sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows | 17:34 |
| dreadful_great | anyone else know if I can change default window placements in nautilus? | 17:34 |
| codecaine | Its the same if you have read write execute on a directory everything in the directory is read write execute | 17:34 |
| codecaine | :) | 17:34 |
| maybeway36 | Mice: on two lines of vourse | 17:34 |
| maybeway36 | *course | 17:34 |

| [ne0] | Hi everyone, i just went from XP to Ubuntu (hardy 8.04). I have a ASUS P5K motherboard but somehow i have NO SOUND. can someone help me with this? :( I am desperate!! | 17:34 |
| Mice | ASU, will this possibly effect the files already on the HDD? Such as overwrite some? Or is it purely virtual? | 17:34 |
| blue_wolf | hey | 17:34 |
| codecaine | joaopinto if you call the command from the directory yes it is | 17:35 |
| akahige | maybeway36: it brought up the login to the machine. I got that before. and I can login, but then I get the error I told you about previously | 17:35 |
| [ne0] | Hi everyone, i just went from XP to Ubuntu (hardy 8.04). I have a ASUS P5K motherboard but somehow i have NO SOUND. can someone help me with this? :( I am desperate!! | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | codecaine, file permissions have nothing to do with the parent dir permissions... | 17:35 |
| AL-G77 | hello all :) | 17:35 |
| VSpike | codecaine: I'm talking about the default perms of created files | 17:35 |
| maybeway36 | :( | 17:35 |
| ASULutzy | Mice: Well after you mount it if you delete them or something like that, yea it could be bad news? | 17:35 |
| Mice | howdy AL =D | 17:35 |
| blue_wolf | is kubntu looks better than ubuntu ? | 17:35 |
| maybeway36 | akahige: I'm not really sure what to do | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | !better | blue_wolf | 17:35 |
| ASULutzy | Mice: But as far as the commands I gave you, those are fine, just mount it and then copy stuff off of it | 17:35 |
| Mice | okay! Thanks Lutzy, lemme try it =D | 17:35 |
| ubottu | blue_wolf: 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. | 17:35 |

| rodolfo | hi. I've renamed the freenode server and now i can't get connected to it. anyone can give me the freenode network specs, so I can connect to it again? | 17:35 |
| codecaine | VSpike you can chage the way your premission are by default | 17:35 |
| maybeway36 | If you have a Knoppix or Kubuntu live CD or if you install Konqueror, you could see if it works | 17:35 |
| AL-G77 | can anyone help a complete noob lol :-) i need to start the jackd service i've installed the package but don;t knoow how to start it | 17:36 |
| joaopinto | rodolfo, irc.freenode.net | 17:36 |
| Verano | rodolfo, all you need to know is irc.freenode.net | 17:36 |
| VSpike | codecaine: you mean umask? sure, but it's global for the user | 17:36 |
| blue_wolf | lets make antoher question | 17:36 |
| VSpike | codecaine: so can't be specific for one location | 17:36 |
| maybeway36 | AL-G77: maybe "sudo /etic/init.d/jackd start"? | 17:36 |
| maybeway36 | just a guess | 17:36 |
| rgsteele||work | I don't know if it matters, but the video card is a GeForce 7300 GT. But, that should matter - the reconfiguration of xserver-xorg should still prompt me to configure the monitor. | 17:36 |
| eviltim | When I try to install it from the live cd,It says no root file system is specified.I choose whatever file system,but it still says no root system! | 17:36 |
| joaopinto | AL-G77, sudo /etc/init.d/jack* start | 17:36 |
| AL-G77 | cheers guys i#ll try it now | 17:37 |
| joaopinto | eviltim, you must set a root filesystem during the partition manager | 17:37 |
| joaopinto | eviltim, pleas read some installation guidelines | 17:37 |
| eviltim | yes,I did that | 17:37 |
| eviltim | IT still doesnt accept it | 17:37 |
| joaopinto | eviltim, no you didn't, you didn't set a partition to be mounted at / | 17:37 |
| will00 | how do i detect what device my ir reciever is? | 17:37 |
| The-Seiman | well no one has a trick to allow a program ( wine in my case ) to create raw sockets without patching the kernel ? ( because there's no fscaps version for my actual kernel ) | 17:37 |
| [ne0] | Hi everyone, i just went from XP to Ubuntu (hardy 8.04). I have a ASUS P5K motherboard but somehow i have NO SOUND. can someone help me with this? :( I am desperate!! | 17:37 |
| akahige | maybeway36: thanks for trying | 17:37 |
| codecaine | VSPike a easy solution is chmod -R yourprives you want all the files to have in the direcotry | 17:37 |
| rodolfo | joaopinto, Verano, where should I fill in this address? | 17:38 |
| codecaine | does it recursively | 17:38 |
| joaopinto | The-Seiman, repeating myself, setting it +s ? | 17:38 |
| eviltim | I selected the partion,clicked edit,chose a filesystem,and it still wont instakll | 17:38 |
| VSpike | codecaine: which part of | 17:38 |
| Netham45 | what's a good program for burning a bootable CD? | 17:38 |
| VSpike | codecaine: which part of "default" is not getting through ? :) | 17:38 |
| The-Seiman | okay thanks joaopinto :) | 17:38 |
| AL-G77 | nope guys :'( thanks anyway :-) | 17:38 |
| codecaine | VSpike you have to edit your configurations for your account | 17:38 |
| Swish | quick question RE: ubuntu 6.06LTS: what's a very quick and easy to use (from SSH) https browser? | 17:39 |
| my_key | "sudo update-rc.d linux-restricted-modules-common defaults" did do the trick :) | 17:39 |
| Swish | lynx? or is there some magic new guy that works well these days? | 17:39 |
| VSpike | sheesh | 17:39 |
| codecaine | lynx is one of the most popular :) | 17:39 |
| Swish | I guess i'll just go with lynx then :) | 17:39 |
| AL-G77 | sudo jackd start did the trick :-) yeeeeeeee | 17:39 |

| Grim76__ | [ne0]: Please be patient. There are other people helping in here right now. If people know something about an issue they usually chime in pretty quickly. | 17:42 |
| jacekowski | The-Seiman: why you are trying to suid wine? | 17:42 |
| joaopinto | The-Seiman, try sudo rm -rf /tmp/.wine* | 17:42 |
| joaopinto | jacekowski, because he needs raw sockets | 17:42 |
| [ne0] | thank you Grim76_ ... i just wanted to know if ppl were ignoring me | 17:43 |
| jacekowski | but this is worst way of doing this | 17:43 |

| pedobear | I can't play sound or get gnome working full | 17:50 |

| fverstra | hi | 17:52 |
| Flannel | eviltim: No, you said that already, and have been answered. That's obviously not sufficient. Please go into more detail. | 17:52 |
| eviltim | How? | 17:52 |
| KrimZon | i think my system currently can't find the dvdrw but only when burning | 17:52 |
| genii | eviltim: Assign some partition to the mountpoint of / and make sure the filesystem type is not ntfs or something weird and strange but more like ext2 or ext3 | 17:52 |
| KrimZon | it can read cds | 17:52 |
| elmer | I'm going to see if I can set the CDROM to first boot device and see if that works. | 17:52 |
| ASULutzy | eviltim: When you setup the partitions, you need to assign / somewhere | 17:52 |
| eviltim | ok | 17:53 |
| eviltim | ill try | 17:53 |
| The-Seiman | jacekowski: no, it's a front-end that allows to activate or disable modules, i'ill search the bash history lol | 17:53 |
| joaopinto | eviltim, have you created a partition for linux, do you have free space for the partition ? | 17:53 |
| zetheroo | dreadful_great: seems that there are soooo many tools for Windows users along the lines of region-free DVD playback | 17:53 |
| Flannel | mmoscosa: What package is mod_mono in? | 17:53 |

| zetheroo | dreadful_great: maybe that's why I have the issue .... becasue I manually set it with regionset ..... :P | 17:55 |
| mshanks | ok I can't boot into ubuntu... it doesn't detect my monitor (everything technically works... am on same machine on a winxp boot at the moment) | 17:55 |
| ASULutzy | HYdra-Shok: Who cares? If you like using Ubuntu you like using Ubuntu, doesn't matter that it's not Fedora or SuSe... And the idea that Linux is only Linux if it takes 3 weeks to get it up and running is stupid | 17:55 |
| dreadful_great | zetheroo: that sucks. try googling how to change that | 17:56 |
| mshanks | any thoughts on how to solve issue? monitor is fine for the boot menu, splash screen, then instead of login screen, I just get no signal to monitor | 17:56 |
| mshanks | but it is still booting properly - plays the sound effects and I can even still type in my username + pass | 17:56 |

| ASULutzy | ATI has poor support for Linux and lately they're just subpar compared to Nvidia. And this is coming from someone who had purchased nothing but ATI products in the past. (9800 PRO AGP, x800xl, etc) | 18:02 |

| ASULutzy | ImDude: Also, the 2900XT is a huge power hog... But anyway, the biggest reason I would stay away from ATI is the complete lack of driver support when compared to Nvidia... Go to the ubuntu forums and search for fglrx (that's what ATI drivers are called) and you'll find 1000's of posts about "Help, fglrx sucks" or something like that | 18:03 |

| xenocampanoli | is this a recent bug? | 18:04 |
| ASULutzy | ImDude: But if you're sold on ATI go ahead and get it, but I'd bet almost everyone in this channel and everyone on the forums would say if you're going to be using Linux, go Nvidia | 18:04 |

| ASULutzy | ImDude: heh, I'm not a graphics card expert or anything. But yea, the 8800 GTS was good, I dunno, it depends on your price range. I'd say just take a couple minutes asking on the forums or checking out newegg for a good Nvidia card that suits your needs | 18:05 |
| Myrtti | GigaClon: phew... | 18:05 |
| ImDude | right now I have 3870 running I notices a few bugs already but really minor but had 8800 GTS previously and was flawless | 18:05 |

| Vovk | large* resolution, and doing anything with apt-get won't help at all | 18:08 |

| codecaine | once you install deb files you cane delete the .deb files no need to hold on to it unless you using it later | 18:09 |
| hamid11771 | ehat does it mean ? "wget -UP http://blahblah" whats the meaning of -UP here ? | 18:09 |
| Vovk | ASULutzy: purge, clean, autoclean, reinstall, etc... | 18:09 |
| ShadowPhoenix | can anyone help me with why /etc/shadow editing didn't help? | 18:09 |
| GigaClon | can i reinstall with out formatting? | 18:10 |
| ASULutzy | Vovk: You could try just editing the config and set it back to what it was? or I guess you could do like sudo mv the_config the_config_bak and then purging and reinstalling | 18:10 |
| ShadowPhoenix | I just edited like root:!:stuff to root: and it still asks me for a password | 18:10 |
| Vovk | ASULutzy: I even deleted the config file in question after I removed the package, but when I reinstalled the game, It would not start unless I put the removed config file back | 18:10 |

| codecaine | lol I answer your question a couple times makaraki | 18:11 |
| Vovk | ASULutzy: that doesn't help, because the config file is still defaulting to the too large resoultion lol | 18:11 |
| ShadowPhoenix | codecaine: my password has been lost. I load up recovery mode, change /etc/shadow with root:!:stuff to root: and now it still asks me a password | 18:11 |
| Vovk | ASULutzy, thanks for your help anyway :) | 18:11 |
| m1r | makaraki: place it in home folder with ".programs" ? | 18:11 |
| bartmon | makaraki: If you open a .deb with gdebi it shows you where it will place files | 18:11 |
| makaraki | codecaine: :P sorry I'm a newbie you know... | 18:11 |
| bartmon | makaraki: You can also just doubleclick on a .deb and it will open | 18:11 |
| codecaine | Krimzon go to applicatoins I think it under media choose the option to burn image on the bottom right | 18:12 |
| ShadowPhoenix | should it have been root and not root: ? | 18:12 |
| codecaine | ShadowPheonix can you sudo and do root command on your regular account? | 18:12 |
| codecaine | be defualt root is disable in ubuntu | 18:12 |
| ShadowPhoenix | yes, but I lost all passwords to that too | 18:12 |
| makaraki | bartmon: thanks but I wanted to know the theorical right path not just double-click which is quite easy even form me :P | 18:12 |

| Repentinus | How can I edit grub so that it displays other oses too? (I am using dual boot Ubuntu/Kubuntu but it automatically always boots kubuntu.) | 18:13 |
| ASULutzy | ShadowPhoenix: If you lost your passwords you can usually boot into recovery mode and reset them from there | 18:13 |
| ShadowPhoenix | codecaine: how? | 18:13 |
| ShadowPhoenix | I did boot into recovery | 18:13 |
| ShadowPhoenix | and then tried to edit the /etc/shadow, but failed somehow :( | 18:13 |
| ASULutzy | ShadowPhoenix: I don't think you need to edit anything, just use the passwd command? | 18:13 |
| ASULutzy | ShadowPhoenix: Or will that not work? | 18:13 |

| xTOGx | "select and install software" doesn't try to get on the internet does it? becuase i'm not connected there | 18:45 |
| vikram | KrimZon, doesnt look like it detected it as a Writer, try "-prcap" to the same command | 18:45 |
| Rampage | xTOGx: it shouldn't | 18:45 |
| Rampage | hold on xTOGx , select and install software? doesn't it ask you to install OS when you boot from cd? | 18:46 |

| ASULutzy | leeping2008: Oops, wrong file | 19:56 |
| ASULutzy | leeping2008: Hold on lol | 19:56 |
| alesan | I even have the acrobat reader installed but I can't fill out forma like another guy with windows can | 19:56 |
| ata4ix | Rampage, i run putty | 19:56 |
| ASULutzy | leeping2008: Here we go http://paste.ubuntu.com/18859/ | 19:56 |
| ata4ix | and login to remote linux | 19:56 |
| ata4ix | then type startx | 19:57 |
| ata4ix | i set the allowed_users=anybody | 19:57 |
| ata4ix | and all is done | 19:57 |
| leeping2008 | ASULutzy, Thanks :) I'll look at yours | 19:57 |
| Chuggst3r | So it's going through the PulseAudio Volume Meter, but nothing is coming from my speakers. | 19:57 |
| Rampage | alesan: have a look at medibuntu repos, they allow the installation of acrobat i think | 19:57 |
| Sanketsu | ASULutzy, I tried ctrl+alt+F1 at the log in screen after it kicked me back (I've got autologin enabled) and the screen wigged out like when I try to log in normally. | 19:57 |
| ata4ix | startx is running | 19:57 |
| alesan | Rampage: I have acrobat 8 as I said | 19:57 |
| telmessos | Rampage: couldn't find. :( but it is very simple. Preferences > Subtitles & OSD > Encoding ;) | 19:57 |
| ASULutzy | leeping2008: You need to set UsePAM to no, set password authentication to no, and and challenge response authentication to no | 19:57 |
| alesan | but no luck in filling out forms | 19:57 |
| YazzY | what package includes manpages of C functions? | 19:57 |
| Rampage | ata4ix: no you don't need to do anything with putty unless you are tunnelling | 19:57 |

| Rampage | ata4ix: don't worry about tunnelling now, just open vncviewer in windows and put the ip of the linux box and connect | 19:59 |

| ASULutzy | leeping2008: So you're saying that you can use the key to login, but if you don't specify a key it still accepts passwords and you ONLY want to be able to login through the use of a key? If so, that's how my ssh is configured, and http://paste.ubuntu.com/18859/ produces that functionality | 20:00 |
| ata4ix | Rampage, when i do this i have warning on linux station with question "allow incoming connection or not"... but if i do this remotely from other plase - when connect from win to linux, who press the YES on the linux to pu me in? | 20:00 |

| Rampage | pub: there is this http://www.computerhope.com/unix.htm | 20:25 |
| puff | After the kernel update last week, hardy (on a thinkpad t43p, ATI graphics) started getting flaky, losing wireless. Then it started freezing up and crashing. I tried to uninstall the 2.6.24-19 kernel and then it got really wacky, now it starts up in low resolution graphics mode. | 20:25 |
| puff | I tried sudo aptitude full-upgrade, but there appear to be problems with the ubuntu archives.s | 20:26 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | puff reinstall the kernel | 20:26 |
| Rampage | ah yes Kitu , so run /usr/bin/firefox-2 | 20:26 |
| Rampage | Kitu: then go to help -> about | 20:26 |
| Rampage | and tell me the version you see there Kitu | 20:26 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | puff go int synaptic find a kernel u want and install it | 20:27 |
| puff | UBUNTUJAY123: I still had the apt package files, so I did dpkg -l | fgrep linux | fgrep 19 to list the kernel and drivers and headers, and then sudo aptitude install all-of-those-packages | 20:27 |
| pub | if i downloaded stuff via apt-get install and sudo apt-get intsall | 20:27 |
| UBUNTUJAY123 | that should fix it | 20:27 |
| pub | where do i go from there? | 20:27 |
| Kitu | Rampage, it's always 3.0 ... | 20:27 |

| Sanketsu | ASULutzy, What's EnvyNG? | 20:31 |
| ASULutzy | Sanketsu: Something installed or configured your fglrx drivers wrong and that's where your problem was coming from. Just google it, it's an application designed to make installing video drivers way way easier | 20:32 |

| The-Seiman | but i don't know how to do :/ | 20:48 |
| anto | The-seiman, i have never done this in Ubuntu but in Gentoo you need to recompile the kernel enabling the Commoncap as a module | 20:48 |
| anto | unless you want to add it directly to the kernel | 20:48 |

| SuN13 | adc: try btjunkie | 21:38 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro pretty much strange, i'm not that into it, but i'll check google for a few secs :P | 21:38 |
| Flare183 | Rampage: it should index the drive that it is installed on I think | 21:38 |
| delf0s | i didnt install the drivers from www.nvidia.com... i installed the NEW nvidia drivers that come with ubuntu | 21:39 |
| Rampage | Flare183: so if you have separate root and home partition? will it index both? | 21:39 |
| kjd-ro | did that.. and still do ... see how comes up whit a solution faster .. :D | 21:39 |
| Flare183 | Rampage: It should then yes | 21:39 |

| ben__ | 3945 7.10 | 21:44 |
| vikram | SeanL9941, well it will allow you to fine tune your system, which you cannot do with XP | 21:44 |
| vikram | SeanL9941, i'd definitely give it a go | 21:44 |
| SeanL9941 | yea im just thinking without buying more ram..or a new comuter | 21:44 |
| danbhfive | SeanL9941: I don't think anyone can answer that without trying it out. You could try Wubi. Thats supposed to let you try Ubuntu out without much changes | 21:44 |

| kjd-ro | SeanL9941 NO WAY | 21:47 |
| ASULutzy | kjd-ro: a PS/2 mouse should just work out of the box I would think, did you try reconfiguring xorg? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 21:47 |

| Rampage | Majost: nope, no swap | 21:54 |
| danbhfive | ASULutzy: why a separate /boot? | 21:54 |
| Pixeltime | Swap is pretty important | 21:54 |
| ASULutzy | danbhfive: I don't have it setup that way, but I've seen people separate /boot on another partition | 21:54 |

| sinisterporpoise | okay... anyone familiar enough with DEbian to help me with a wireless netowrking card problem? | 21:55 |

| Rampage | Majost: I have 2GB ram, and i rarely use over 1gb in a session, even when i used windows i used to disable pagefile | 21:55 |
| Majost | Rampage: If you use all your available ram, you are likely to have weird crashes | 21:55 |
| Majost | when linux runs out of memory | 21:55 |
| danbhfive | ASULutzy: in theory, you can mount every folder as a separate partition | 21:55 |
| Skitt | genius: a metacity --replace should fix it for the moment | 21:55 |
| Majost | and there is no available swap | 21:55 |
| sinisterporpoise | <-- which is why I'm not running Ubuntu on this laptop | 21:55 |

| ASULutzy | danbhfive: Well, you'd have to use extended partitions, but yea | 21:56 |

| ASULutzy | SeanL9941: setting up a dualboot really isn't that hard... It can be tricky if you only have one hard drive and NTFS is taking up all of it, but the install cd should be able to resize it for you? | 21:57 |

| nickolaus | flaccid what software do I use? | 21:58 |
| ASULutzy | SeanL9941: the install cd pretty much takes care of the entire dualboot for you and sets up grub correctly | 21:58 |
| kjd-ro | ahaaaaaaa i am getting there.... !!! | 21:58 |
| SeanL9941 | is there a 'noobish' step by step online somewhere i can view? i looked and i couldnt get all my answers | 21:58 |

| SeanL9941 | ok, i just didnt wanna trust it thats all, dont want to loose anything on that comp | 21:59 |

| flaccid_ | nickolaus, explain why | 21:59 |
| ASULutzy | SeanL9941: Well, I would certainly make sure you check with others that you know what you're doing. If you tell it to format your NTFS partition it will | 21:59 |
| Rampage | Majost: i would have thought 2gb ram would be sufficient under normal use? | 21:59 |

| sinisterporpoise | no help with getting the wirless networking card to connect to the Internet? I've gotten the driver installed with Ndiswrapper, but it seems that I'm not getting assigned an IP address | 21:59 |
| tschaka | nickolaus you might want to try gnump3d | 21:59 |
| Jimboy | SuN13: Thanks installing Opera ok..... | 22:00 |
| flaccid_ | hmmm too many indians no chiefs in this channel | 22:00 |
| ASULutzy | sinisterporpoise: This may be noobish of me, but I remember with my laptop just using ndiswrapper -i didn't work quite right for me, but I installed ndisgtk, a graphical front end for ndiswrapper, and told it what windows driver to use and everything just worked | 22:00 |
| kjd-ro | tschaka: everithing is down.... moral and nervs.. and all | 22:00 |
| tschaka | nickolaus its a browser based system, so you can browse and open your files directly through your browser. | 22:00 |
| Pixeltime | sinisterporpoise: Did you do ALL the settings, for ndis | 22:00 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro yea, can imagine this. but did u found some solution or something? | 22:01 |
| SeanL9941 | i am looking at like 6 different versions of kubuntu dont even konw which one to get i see desktop cd - alternate install cd - desktop dvd and there is Kubuntu Xubuntu and Ubuntu all version 8.04 (hardy heron) | 22:01 |
| sinisterporpoise | here's the problem -- I've got it working under Ubuntu just fine, but Ubuntu doesn't work well on this older laptop. I've installed Debian Etch but it seems to be missing something that Ubuntu had | 22:01 |
| ASULutzy | sinisterporpoise: If you're a big noob like me, try doing sudo apt-get install ndisgtk, and then go to system->administration->windows wireless drivers | 22:01 |
| danbhfive | SeanL9941: you want the desktop cd | 22:01 |
| SeanL9941 | is there one that comes with all the flashy crap? like beryl? | 22:01 |
| SeanL9941 | whats the desktop dvd? | 22:01 |
| nickolaus | flaccid I installed kubuntu on a headless box and so I can have increased access to my home network and I want to place all of our media on this computer. I installed samba on it and set some of the folders to share but they're not showing up on any of the network computers. | 22:01 |
| kjd-ro | tschaka: i think .. check this out.. what is the pastebin address ? | 22:01 |
| fuffwork | is there any linux equivalants to programs like onenote (for using a tablet for note taking) | 22:01 |
| joaopinto | sinisterporpoise, please ask on #debian, not here | 22:01 |
| tschaka | http://paste.ubuntu.com kjd-ro | 22:01 |
| SeanL9941 | i mean dvd..more stuff in the install? | 22:01 |
| danbhfive | SeanL9941: probably | 22:01 |
| SeanL9941 | so ..useless? | 22:02 |
| SuN13 | SeanL9941: depends on what hardware u want and what your needs are | 22:02 |
| flaccid_ | nickolaus, that doesn't say much. i have nothing to go on. learn samba and linux? | 22:02 |
| sinisterporpoise | I can try but since they are the same underlying system the process hould be the same | 22:02 |
| SuN13 | u got* | 22:02 |
| RULR_ | can anyone tell me how to reconnect my dsl connection from desktop icon? | 22:02 |
| SeanL9941 | i just want an alternative to xp on my old-outddated-but still working amd/htpc | 22:02 |
| === Rex_afk is now known as Rex_ | ||
| Pixeltime | Alternate CD is if you need extra install options, such as some unsported hardware | 22:02 |
| CaptainAmerica | when i installed ubuntu i accedentally got rid of my Windows XP OS how do i reinstall?? | 22:02 |
| joaopinto | CaptainAmerica, please join ##windows | 22:03 |
| Pixeltime | Use a live CD, test it all out, then install from it | 22:03 |
| CaptainAmerica | joaopinto: kk | 22:03 |
| SuN13 | SeanL9941: well if it is too old ubuntu desktop will not run as well | 22:03 |
| kjd-ro | check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18890/ !!!!! | 22:03 |
| danbhfive | SeanL9941: just go with the desktop cd. I think its what you are looking for. After you get it installed, the cd you picked won't make much of a difference | 22:03 |
| SeanL9941 | Sun its 2.2ghz 1gb ram | 22:03 |
| SeanL9941 | ok dan, thanks | 22:04 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: ubuntu will be fine on that | 22:04 |
| SuN13 | SeanL9941: yeah but i dont think u will be 3d effects | 22:04 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro is this your whole xorg.conf? | 22:04 |
| SeanL9941 | yea, i had it installed on my 1.5centrino frankenlaptop for about a week looong time ago ran beryl and all that jazz but didtn do much with it | 22:04 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro and does X still start normally after u ran dpkg? | 22:04 |
| Luig1 | Hi there. I'm looking at this (http://preview.tinyurl.com/2d6dnq) USB external hard disk drive, and it seems to be going for a good price, but I fear that I may have to install some kind of 'drive manager' or something to take hold of the 'advanced features'. Are my fears founded? | 22:04 |
| joaopinto | erm, did anyone add any issues with the latest firefox upgrade ? | 22:05 |
| SeanL9941 | ti4200 can run quake 3 pretty good :) | 22:05 |
| Tar-Get | does someone know the command make mysql a command, so i don't have to change directory to the mysql path? | 22:05 |
| ASULutzy | Luig1: What advanced features do you mean? | 22:05 |
| Pengytheduckwin | When I switched from vista, my wireless Internet connection won't work, did anyone else have this problem and if so can you help me? | 22:05 |
| Rampage | Luig1: external hard drives are formatted FAT32 by default and ubuntu reads that fine | 22:05 |
| Pixeltime | Luig1: Its a good drive, just plug it in | 22:05 |
| SeanL9941 | ok, so now i need to know Kubuntu Xubuntu or just Ubuntu | 22:06 |
| ASULutzy | Luig1: It's USB, USB is plug and play on pretty much any operating system | 22:06 |
| Pixeltime | no drivers or whatever | 22:06 |
| kjd-ro | tschaka: yes .... | 22:06 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro Identifier "Configured Mouse" | 22:06 |
| tschaka | Driver "vmmouse" thats all my xorg says for my mouse. worked out of the box. Section InputDevice | 22:06 |
| nickolaus | flaccid okay I got it working now when I try to use media on it without copy/paste I get Unable to open 'smb://yahweh/Media1/Full Metal Panic/[BakaKozou]Full_Metal_Panic_TSR_-_02_[15D95CF8].avi' | 22:06 |
| Luig1 | ASULutzy: Well, it says 'Includes drive management features like automatic power-up and LED status lights.' | 22:06 |
| Flare183 | !paste | tschaka | 22:06 |
| ubottu | tschaka: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:06 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: depends what interface you want, gnome, kde or xfce | 22:06 |
| danbhfive | Luig1: well, you probably simply wont get those feature on ubuntu, at least not the way they list it. You can probably get those features otherways. So yes, your fears are founded | 22:06 |
| Pixeltime | works on windows, PS3, linux, mac outa the box | 22:06 |
| tschaka | Flare183 soz, thought for 2 lines it would be ok. | 22:06 |
| SeanL9941 | Rampage: dont know the diff...ill look it up, unless u can give it to me stright | 22:06 |
| Flare183 | tschaka: I'm just saying... | 22:06 |
| Luig1 | Well, thanks everyone! I guess I'll just buy it and send it back if it doesn't work right or something. | 22:06 |
| ASULutzy | Luig1: ... I don't know that I would consider those advanced features per say lol, but yea, the LED's should work just fine. All completely plug and play | 22:07 |
| SeanL9941 | which is the most user friendly? | 22:07 |
| tschaka | i suggested some guy to use pastebin 2 mins earlier. but thx anyway :) | 22:07 |
| kjd-ro | i hate this... still not working... | 22:07 |
| SuN13 | SeanL9941: ubuntu | 22:07 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: i myself don;t know what the key differences are, but from what i have read its the way the graphical interface is bundled and they have their own bundles of appliactions | 22:07 |
| ASULutzy | Luig1: Video cards, and other weird PCI devices can be tricky in Linux, but USB storage is pretty much universal across all OS | 22:07 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: all 3 are user friendly, i use gnome (so standard ubuntu) | 22:07 |
| SeanL9941 | alright i;ll give it a go, ill probably be back in a few hours with many questions :) | 22:08 |
| Slashx | Anyone here use Audacity? | 22:08 |

| ASULutzy | SeanL9941: I prefer gnome, but lots of people are die hard KDE fans. Really a matter of preference | 22:08 |
| SuN13 | SeanL9941: I installed on my thinkpad 2.2 ghz and it basically installed itself no problems | 22:08 |
| nickolaus | any ideas? | 22:08 |
| SeanL9941 | nice :) thanks alot guyus | 22:08 |
| dieter_ | Hi everyone, i m not able to install ubuntu. I erased gutsy to do a fresh install of hardy, but installing from live cd freezes my pc at 22%(copying files). I tried the alternate cd, but there the installation freezes at 18%(per of gsfont configuration). The cd's are checked and are fine. Any ideas? | 22:08 |
| Slashx | Anyone have a package for Audacity VST? | 22:08 |
| Luig1 | ASULutzy: yeah, LEDs aren't exactly futuristic, but it said 'drive management', so I figured they were some kind of customizable LED readout or something. | 22:08 |
| SeanL9941 | peace out | 22:08 |
| Rampage | Luig1: i wouldn't worry about that | 22:09 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro >> private msg | 22:09 |

| gorg | which torrent-klient is the best for ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| Rampage | gorg: i like rtorrent | 22:10 |
| tschaka | gorg deluge, transmission | 22:10 |
| ASULutzy | gorg: Preference. But I love rtorrent | 22:10 |
| gorg | hmz :) | 22:10 |
| Pixeltime | gorg: I use Transmision | 22:10 |
| ASULutzy | gorg: But only because it lets me download stuff on my home machine from work using ssh, if you want a flashy GUI, you can't go wrong with azureus | 22:10 |
| Rampage | gordonjcp: rtorrent is command line and very easy to use plus very light on system resources | 22:10 |
| gorg | seems like its 50/50 Transmission / rtorrent :) | 22:10 |
| ASULutzy | gorg: Yea, again rTorrent is all command line | 22:11 |
| TuniX12 | i have a stupid question the ubuntu offical kernel is i686 only?? | 22:11 |
| david_ | gorg Transmision here cos it has a gui | 22:11 |
| danbhfive | ASULutzy: heh, I found azureus to be very buggy on linux, almost unworkable | 22:11 |
| SuN13 | gorg: i used utorrent standalone with wine..works perfect | 22:11 |
| === fophillipse is now known as fophillips | ||
| patricknn | how do you change gnome-do key commands? | 22:11 |
| david_ | TuniX12: using AMD64 | 22:11 |
| Rampage | ASULutzy: the ncurses interface for rtorrent makes it rather easy to use don't you think? | 22:11 |
| ASULutzy | gorg, danbhfive: I used azureus for a while... It was alright, I bet most of the linux problems on azureus are related to java being weird at times | 22:11 |
| DarkAudit | danbhfive: the officia package, or the Vuze verzion? | 22:11 |
| tschaka | gorg transmission is light and easy. deluge comes with some more options and stuff. azureus is way to heavy for my taste + it runs on java, which brings many dependencies. | 22:11 |
| DarkAudit | official* | 22:11 |
| solexious | [Q] How can i use rm to remove any files ending in .ini from current folder and folders inside current folders? | 22:11 |
| gorg | thanks for all reply, i would have to consider a little | 22:11 |
| Rampage | java is a memory hog too | 22:12 |
| nickolaus | anyone know how to stream movies/music from a kubuntu computer via samba shares? | 22:12 |
| ASULutzy | Rampage: Oh, I've never used a front end for rTorrent. I only use it so like I said, while I'm at work like I am now, I can ssh to my desktop at home and tell it to start downloading stuff so it'll be there waiting for me when I get back | 22:12 |
| flaccid_ | i never get help here. get some chefs. | 22:12 |
| Lenny1729 | Hi, did anyone run into problems with firefox after the update to rc1? | 22:12 |
| david_ | find -name "*.ini" | xargs rm | 22:12 |
| ASULutzy | Lenny1729: You mean RC2? | 22:12 |
| Rampage | ASULutzy: thats how i use it too, it has no graphical frontend | 22:12 |
| TuniX12 | david_: amd64 is not the same as i686 right? | 22:12 |
| tschaka | nickolaus either u configure samba properly (samba tutorlias, + edit smb.conf) or use gnump3d its a media streaming server. | 22:12 |
| tschaka | nickolaus its in the repos. | 22:13 |
| danbhfive | DarkAudit: the official package. This was when I first started on ubuntu, on dapper. I knew Azureus from windows, so I used it, but it crashed all the time. On windows, it was great... | 22:13 |
| david_ | TuniX12: no i686 is PentiumPro 32-bit | 22:13 |
| TuniX12 | david_ how i get an optimized kernel for intel core duo without compiling please? | 22:14 |
| Lenny1729 | ASULutzy: synaptic says rc1 | 22:14 |
| Rampage | Lenny1729: is there an update to rc1? | 22:14 |
| Rampage | i didn't think there was | 22:14 |
| ASULutzy | Lenny1729: Oh, weird, on firefox's homepage they link to RC2 | 22:14 |
| gordonjcp | Rampage: ? | 22:14 |
| DarkAudit | danbhfive: I've got the 3.0 Vuze version, seems to work fine for me... actually better than in Windows here | 22:14 |
| Lenny1729 | Rampage: no, not in the ubuntu repository | 22:14 |
| ASULutzy | http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html | 22:14 |
| Rampage | ah okay Lenny1729 | 22:14 |
| Rampage | gordonjcp: whats that> | 22:14 |
| Lenny1729 | After my last upgrade firefox doesn't start | 22:14 |
| nickolaus | tschaka do I install gnump on the computer receiving the file of the one sending? | 22:15 |
| Lenny1729 | anymore | 22:15 |
| DarkAudit | all my torrents were yellow in windows, not in Linux, and my ISP and router settings never changed | 22:15 |
| gordonjcp | Rampage: you highlighted me talking about torrent clients? | 22:15 |
| Rampage | what does yellow mean | 22:15 |
| solexious | [Q] How can i use rm to remove any files ending in .ini from current folder and folders inside current folders? | 22:15 |
| david_ | TuniX12: if u want fully optimized you probably need to compile it yourself, but personally I would stick with either 32bit or 64bit generic kernels | 22:15 |
| ASULutzy | solexious: Someone already gave you the answer to that if you scroll up | 22:15 |
| Lenny1729 | Rampage, ASULutzy: firefox starts up with a strange yellow window and a XUL error | 22:15 |
| tschaka | nickolaus u need to install gnump3d only on the host server. the clients will connect via your favorite browser. | 22:15 |
| david_ | solexious: find . -name "*.ini" | xargs rm | 22:15 |
| DarkAudit | did Firefox RC2 post since yesterday morning? -proposed had RC1 yesterday morning US EDT | 22:15 |
| kevinh90 | I am having trouble getting the builtin compiz to work on hardy | 22:16 |
| Slart | solexious: david answered that one already | 22:16 |
| solexious | ASULutzy: sorry must have missed it, ty | 22:16 |
| Rampage | hmm, sorry gordonjcp just saw it was a typo and poor tabcompletion from me | 22:16 |
| Rampage | sorry bout that gordonjcp | 22:16 |
| nickolaus | tschaka samba is saying that I don't have permission... | 22:16 |
| tschaka | nickolaus gnump3d creates playlists for every folder and comes with a nice web interface. + it streams movies too | 22:16 |
| kevinh90 | my computer has a internal graphics card that is blacklisted | 22:16 |
| Rampage | Lenny1729: no idea, sorru | 22:16 |
| Rampage | *sorry | 22:16 |
| solexious | david_: Thank you | 22:16 |
| kevinh90 | i am not using that card, but compiz still sees it and wont run because of it | 22:16 |
| ASULutzy | tschaka, nickolaus: I love gnump3d, use it all day at work to stream my mp3's to me | 22:16 |
| tschaka | nickolaus u gotta edit smb.conf then most likely | 22:16 |
| tschaka | :) | 22:16 |
| kevinh90 | my other card is a nvidia, and it works with compiz(it worked before installing some updates) | 22:17 |
| yesudeep2 | nickolaus: Or you can install system-config-samba and use that to configure samba | 22:17 |
| kevinh90 | is there a way to remove a line from blacklisting? | 22:17 |
| Jimboy | Any suggestion what I would use to get my scanner working - It's a Epson 2480 ? ? ? | 22:18 |

| kjd-ro | >>>this is soo fck up <<< no mouse scroll .... guys i am too out to think.. where else can it be disabled ??? or enabled ? how can i check ? | 22:18 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: I suppose, what's the problem? | 22:19 |
| Rampage | carpet_the_walls: don't you want to extract the contents rather than remove the file extension? | 22:19 |
| kevinh90 | patricknn: I have an nvidia card with svideo out, although I have never tried to use the svideo out | 22:19 |
| rado_ | start | 22:19 |
| nickolaus | asulutzy I just installed gnump on the host computer. what do I do now? | 22:19 |
| Saar | please check: http://pastebin.com/d16a7ac9e My question is how to resolve this? The files it complains about do not exist | 22:19 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: You need to edit /etc/gnump3d/gump3d.conf to point to your media | 22:19 |
| Rampage | hmm, firefox updates, wonder what version the repos have now | 22:20 |
| Saar | this is a result of someone upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 without removing envy | 22:20 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| carpet_the_walls | Rampage: i ran "gzip *.* >> zipfile.zip" and it added .gz to all the files ???, so now i need to remove the .gz so i can have another go at zipping them | 22:20 |

| afallenhope | is there a cam software that supports JPEG cameraS? | 22:21 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: Just scroll down a bit and there'll be a line called root = /something/ | 22:21 |
| david_ | carpet_the_walls: use gunzip *.gz | 22:21 |
| Rampage | carpet_the_walls: i normally prefer tar, or rar for this sort, but hmm, i guess you could do a script to rename the files | 22:21 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: Change that to root = /the/path/of/your/music | 22:21 |
| Rampage | use calc i suppose carpet_the_walls | 22:21 |
| nomopofomo | Did anyone else just have to update Firefox? | 22:21 |
| Rampage | nomopofomo: yes | 22:21 |
| Rampage | nomopofomo: updating now actually | 22:22 |
| nomopofomo | Is that the final version of 3.0 | 22:22 |
| nomopofomo | I wonder... | 22:22 |
| carpet_the_walls | Rampage: not familiar with calc, ill look it up, thanks for your help | 22:22 |
| nomopofomo | Kind of exciting | 22:22 |
| yesudeep2 | Rampage: What does aptitude show firefox show you? | 22:22 |
| Rampage | nomopofomo: no idea, i'll install and check | 22:22 |
| ASULutzy | nomopofomo: if you go to firefox's website, they're at release candidate 2 of ff | 22:22 |
| yesudeep2 | Mine shows me rc1 | 22:22 |
| ASULutzy | ff3* | 22:22 |
| Rampage | carpet_the_walls: ok, what i would do is "ls | grep -i ".jpg"" | 22:22 |
| nomopofomo | I noticed, ASULutzy, but sometimes software is released before it is announced. | 22:23 |
| Saar | anyone? | 22:23 |
| ASULutzy | nomopofomo: Well, RC2 only came out on June 4th | 22:23 |
| Rampage | carpet_the_walls: stick all those names in coulmn b and c, and put mv in column a, and then in coulmn c run a replace to remove the .gz | 22:23 |
| nomopofomo | ASULutzy, indeed. | 22:24 |
| Rampage | then make that a sh script by copying to gedit carpet_the_walls and done | 22:24 |
| Y-Town | anyone have any suggestions for firewall and antivirus for 8.04? I know there are a couple in repos but would kinda like to hear whats simply and efficient to use | 22:24 |
| carpet_the_walls | Rampage: thankyou! | 22:24 |
| kjd-ro | question: where can i find the mouse driver for xorg.. to specify in the config file.. ???? | 22:24 |
| Majost | Has anyone seen an issue with building binary-custom kernels, where at the very end when it is building the package it errors out with: "dh_installchangelogs: package linux-image-2.6.24-18-optimized is not in control info" | 22:24 |
| nickolaus | asulutzy root =/var/music? | 22:24 |
| ASULutzy | Y-Town: Don't bother | 22:24 |
| Rampage | Y-Town: firewall is already installed, iptables | 22:24 |
| yesudeep2 | Y-Town: You don't need an antivirus on Ubuntu. | 22:24 |
| moDumass | hey all just realised that when i press the cz key I get the zc key also... any ideas.. | 22:24 |
| kjd-ro | << thinking, maybe the driver is missing ... need to check it | 22:24 |
| Rampage | carpet_the_walls: you're welcome | 22:24 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: Where is your music saved? Yea you'd want to change root = /var/music to root = /where/your/music/is | 22:24 |
| tschaka | kjd-ro did you read my priv messages? | 22:24 |
| moDumass | hang on C key and Z key register and both keys | 22:25 |
| Rampage | Y-Town: only time you want an antivirus is if you are running a mail server | 22:25 |
| kjd-ro | no, just logged in... | 22:25 |
| nomopofomo | ASULutzy, would it say Firefox 3.0 RC2 in the "About Mozilla Firefox" dialog? | 22:25 |
| Y-Town | I know I dont need antivirus for me and ubuntu but I do have a coupe win boxes on my network | 22:25 |
| yesudeep2 | Rampage: Any form of communication middleman or file storage area too. | 22:25 |

| yesudeep2 | MrPocknix: You use Samba and right click the drive you wish to share in nautilus. | 22:26 |
| Rampage | Y-Town: and i script a lot of the firewall commands, where a gui is useless | 22:26 |

| ASULutzy | nickolaus: So maybe try smb://that/path ? | 22:27 |
| solexious | yesudeep2: sadly not, it did in 7.08 but on in this fresh 8.04 install | 22:27 |
| gorg | mDemocritus: i am not comfortable with console atm, but i would like to start learning it | 22:27 |
| nickolaus | asulutzy thanks | 22:27 |
| solexious | yesudeep2: 7.10 sorry* | 22:27 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: I'm not 100% sure on the syntax, as mine is a local hard drive, /media/TB/music | 22:27 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: Just tinker with it, I'm sure you'll get it | 22:28 |
| Rampage | yesudeep2: what version of firefox have you got now? | 22:28 |
| yesudeep2 | solexious: libipod0 should be it. | 22:28 |
| mDemocritus | gorg: rtorrent is powerful, but it's fairly confusing for a newbie...i know it was for me... | 22:28 |

| mDemocritus | gorg: are you looking for a specific feature? | 22:28 |
| Rampage | yesudeep2: ah yes, aptitude says rc1 | 22:28 |

| tayfun | hey people i got a question how can i install beryl ?? i aint got no paket from beryl or somethin else tell me what should i type to install it ? | 22:28 |
| ASULutzy | CaptainAmerica: You probably had Synaptic open at the same time you were trying to use apt-get? | 22:28 |
| yesudeep2 | CaptainAmerica: Are you using synaptic or another package management tool to install/upgrade something? | 22:28 |
| nickolaus | asulutzy so smb://yahwah/media 1/ music ? | 22:29 |
| gorg | i heard ASULutzy were talking about starting downloads from work | 22:29 |
| yesudeep2 | solexious: Check whether your iPod shows up in the Places menu. | 22:29 |
| tayfun | i dont know | 22:29 |
| ASULutzy | You can't have spaces, maybe try smb://yahwah/media\ 1/music | 22:29 |
| nickolaus | asulutzy and once I do that how do I use it? Just open the media with samba? | 22:29 |
| yesudeep2 | solexious: If that's the case, as on one of my computers, right clicking it seems to mount it and show it on the desktop. | 22:29 |
| CaptainAmerica | ASULutzy: im not using synaptic | 22:29 |
| tayfun | hey people help me | 22:29 |
| mDemocritus | gorg: your best bet is a client that has a web inteface... there are some for rtorrent, and ktorrent has one built in | 22:30 |
| tayfun | pls tell me how can i install beryl | 22:30 |
| xzedn | all sdl programs/games won't run and tell me on the shell "no available audio device" | 22:30 |
| xzedn | sound doesn't work in flash either | 22:30 |
| addison | is there a version of java for Power PC ubuntu??? | 22:30 |
| yesudeep2 | tayfun: Beryl has been replace by compiz fusion. | 22:30 |
| xzedn | but i get startup sounds | 22:30 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: You just browse to it with a browser on the port that it says at the top of /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf, I believe it defaults to :8888 | 22:30 |
| gorg | but it seems i should start with Transmission and when i have practiced console i may convert | 22:30 |
| xzedn | and music through banshee | 22:30 |
| yesudeep2 | tayfun: You should have compiz installed already. | 22:30 |
| solexious | yesudeep2: installed, not showing up but will try a restart, no it is not showing up in places | 22:30 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: So you'd go to http://whatever.your.ip.is:8888 in a webbrowser | 22:30 |
| Rampage | firefox is still buggy | 22:30 |
| mDemocritus | gorg: that's probably the best idea | 22:30 |
| yesudeep2 | tayfun: You may find this package useful too: compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:30 |
| Rampage | taking up 100% CPU | 22:30 |
| tayfun | yesudeep but i dont have beryl how can i see if i have or how can i install it again | 22:30 |
| CaptainAmerica | yesudeep2: im not using synaptic | 22:30 |
| gorg | ok thanks, | 22:30 |
| Rampage | gorg: you can go to console straight away | 22:31 |
| gorg | should i just google for it? | 22:31 |
| gorg | hmm.. u think? | 22:31 |
| Rampage | gorg: if you don't try now, you willkeep delaying it | 22:31 |
| gorg | that might be very right | 22:31 |
| tayfun | yesudeep but i dont have beryl how can i see if i have or how can i install it again | 22:31 |

| Y-Town | Next question: I have a small home server running Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. This system will be used for file sharing/storage and a backup for my other systems. Would I be better of setting up a share directory under the user or making a partition designated to sharing/storage? Keep in mind this system may be used by me from time to time but not intended to be used as a dialy web surfer system | 22:32 |
| tayfun | what should i write to install beryl? | 22:32 |
| yesudeep2 | tayfun: You don't need to install beryl. It's deprecated. do you see "Visual effects" in the appearances dialog box? | 22:32 |
| Rampage | gorg: rtorrent is extremely easy to use, and with time you will realise how important console is, or how useful | 22:32 |
| yesudeep2 | addison: There should be. | 22:32 |

| Rampage | gorg: let me know if you need any help | 22:33 |
| Mets | DarkAudit: hehe, you wish :) | 22:33 |
| ASULutzy | gorg: rTorrent is all command line, so if you're expecting something flashy, rtorrent isn't it. But it's powerful, and the command line thing is great, like I said, allows you to use it through ssh remotely | 22:33 |
| Rampage | Ah yes gorg , do what EADG says. Use rtorrent in a screen :) | 22:34 |
| yesudeep2 | CaptainAmerica: Can you please paste the output of 'ps -aux' at http://rafb.net/paste? | 22:34 |

| ubottu | gorg: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 22:44 |
| Rampage | gorg: always good to look in the repository for the easy install :) | 22:44 |
| BCM43 | Renate: driver for what? | 22:44 |
| gorg | from here: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/rTorrent-Download-2673.html | 22:44 |
| acgiglyph | w0ss4g3: ~/ means go to the current users home folder | 22:44 |
| TecnoBrat | Slart, yea, I'm having issues with it not refreshing / crashing (works fine when connecting to my other windows box with a VNC server on it) | 22:45 |
| Rampage | gorg: delete that and do what bazhang said | 22:45 |
| gorg | ok - sorry, ill use some time there before bothering u about easy questions :) | 22:45 |
| Rampage | gorg: sudo aptitude install rtorrent incase | 22:45 |
| Renate | bdm43: ms wireless desktop elite (kybd and mouse). it worked just fine, until the last round of updates. | 22:45 |
| gorg | alright | 22:45 |
| ASULutzy | gorg: In ubuntu you don't install things the same way you do in Windows (usually), delete what you've downloaded and instead take advantage of the secure repositories. To do that, you can either click system->administration->synaptic and search for rTorrent, or you can click applications->accessories->terminal and type sudo apt-get install rtorrent | 22:45 |
| Aslanix | seems ubuntu 8.04 can't be installed on my system wich has sata HD, the olnly choice for me is to use the wubi wich i don't like cause its unsafe | 22:46 |
| bazhang | gorg you can use sudo aptitude install packagename or sudo apt-get install packagename | 22:46 |
| cggabriel | i have problems configuring xorg and video drivers on ubuntu 8.04 | 22:46 |
| ASULutzy | Aslanix: I installed Hardy just fine to a sata hdd. | 22:46 |
| Slart | TecnoBrat: give one of the others a try then.. see if they work better.. realvnc or tightvnc | 22:46 |
| w0ss4g3 | acgiglyph: source: command not found :\ | 22:46 |
| bazhang | Aslanix, sata do fine | 22:46 |
| ASULutzy | Aslanix: And yea, wubi isn't an ideal solution | 22:46 |
| TecnoBrat | Slart, cool, thanks for the suggestion | 22:47 |
| Slart | Aslanix: you can install on sata drives.. | 22:47 |
| ttt | guys, I have a nVidia card, I used the installer from nvidia.com, now every time i reboot ubuntu I get the X failsafe and in the logs something like: Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 71.86.04, | 22:47 |
| ttt | but this NVIDIA driver component has version 173.14.05. Can anyone plx help me get rid of this? :) | 22:47 |

| Slart | TecnoBrat: here's a nice list of clients ... http://gentoo-wiki.com/VNC | 22:47 |
| ASULutzy | ttt: I would edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use "vesa" driver, and then install EnvyNG to install your graphics drivers for you | 22:47 |
| Slart | ttt: if you're using the driver from the nvidia site you have to uninstall the kernel module from synaptic | 22:48 |
| TecnoBrat | Slart, oh awesome :) | 22:48 |
| w0ss4g3 | acgiglyph: in fact, it says /home/username/.profile: no such file or directory | 22:48 |

| ubottu | xzedn: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:50 |
| acgiglyph | hmm, sounds like you may be having other issues. If you reboot, will the machine come back online. I ask because it's "starting" to sound like a drive issue. | 22:50 |

| puff | Argh. I switched to the terminal that X was running on, it was the "low-graphiocs mode" dialog, I selected "shutdown", thinking that would shut X donw. No, it shutdown the entire system. | 23:20 |
| daves111 | haven't tried that ... not too good with terminal | 23:21 |
| chimp | oops sorry was called away | 23:21 |
| tj83 | tschaka, I didnt see it. I'll look again | 23:21 |
| chimp | Ill show you the forum post i made yesterday | 23:21 |
| tschaka | tj83 sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 23:21 |
| Stroganoff | tj83 stop looking, use the terminal. | 23:21 |
| avis | can anyone tell me if they have a SATA dvd burner, running hardy, and have no problems seeing blank media or burning dvds or cds ? | 23:21 |
| legend2440 | daves111: does update manager try to start then just stop? | 23:21 |
| tschaka | tj83 works like a charm here :) | 23:21 |
| puff | azathoth99: Depends on what you mean by "networking" and how it was stopped. Start wtih /etc/init.d/networking<enter> | 23:21 |
| tj83 | Stroganoff, I tired apt-get install | 23:21 |
| daves111 | yes, it just stays with "hourglass" running | 23:21 |
| azathoth99 | say i add a static ip to /etc/network/interfaces | 23:21 |
| azathoth99 | I then run /etc/init.d/networking restart? | 23:22 |

| Rampage | tj83: it is most definitely there in the repo | 23:23 |
| puff | azathoth99: Or force-reload | 23:23 |
| tschaka | Miesco i use audacious. | 23:23 |
| daves111 | yes, I'll try to | 23:23 |
| tschaka | Miesco i use audacious. | 23:23 |

| Miesco | tschaka: Does it support albums? | 23:23 |
| Rampage | tj83: sudo aptitude install openssh-server | 23:23 |

| Rampage | tj83: ok | 23:24 |

| azathoth99 | where is the ubuntu page on howto do that stuff? | 23:24 |

| addison | i need help with updating | 23:26 |
| Rampage | whats up addison | 23:26 |
| puff | azathoth99: I'm not sure what you're asking? | 23:26 |
| nkostop | does anybody knows about sierra wireless cards for 3G networks? | 23:26 |
| benpicco_ | chidge, that indeed looks wired | 23:26 |
| icqnumber | cggabriel, well the simplest way of doing it, if you have not allready distroyed you system is, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, select there to activate the "kernel framebuffer device interface" in X server and follow the steps... | 23:26 |
| addison | after I update and do the system restart i can't login anymore | 23:26 |
| a-l-p-h-a | is there a way to tell me what distro a linux box is running? "uname --all" does not do it. | 23:27 |
| Rampage | addison: any error in particular? | 23:27 |
| Stroganoff | nkostop most likely someone will know something so the answer would be "yes". next question? | 23:27 |
| puff | Anybody know how to get X to reconfigure? | 23:27 |
| benpicco_ | chimp, that indeed looks wired | 23:27 |
| Rampage | a-l-p-h-a: lsb_release -a | 23:27 |
| benpicco_ | chimp, have you tried running memtest? | 23:27 |
| daves111 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/18911/ | 23:27 |
| addison | not that i know of by the way i'm on ppc | 23:27 |
| chimp | benpicco_: Yeah i know, even if the hard drive is buggered, it shouldnt cause a kernel panic | 23:27 |
| chimp | memtest runs fine | 23:27 |
| Rampage | addison: just doesn't accept the password? | 23:27 |
| daves111 | and http://paste.ubuntu.com/18913/ | 23:28 |
| * puff tries sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org. | 23:28 | |
| chimp | Only fsck on that partition causes the problem, otherwise its stable | 23:28 |
| addison | it accepts the password but the screen just goes blue after that | 23:28 |
| benpicco_ | chimp, maybe a kernel bug? | 23:28 |
| a-l-p-h-a | Rampage, I figured it out. uname -a, does report it.. it's just openvz. | 23:28 |
| chimp | benpicco_: I thought thats a possiblity, thats why i also tried the earlier kernel with no luck, but i dont know how to proceed | 23:28 |
| Rampage | addison: hmm, not sure, you tried running recovery and fixing X | 23:29 |
| addison | ??? | 23:29 |
| Rampage | a-l-p-h-a: for the distro details lsb_release -a works nicely | 23:29 |
| benpicco_ | chidge, you could try a 2.4 kernel | 23:29 |
| Rampage | when you boot, select recovery mode addison | 23:29 |
| chimp | By burning an earlier live cd? | 23:30 |
| addison | okay but what is x? | 23:30 |
| benpicco_ | chimp, DamnSmallLinux provides one | 23:30 |
| Rampage | a-l-p-h-a: uname-a doesn;t say if its ubunut, debian, fedora, suse etc | 23:30 |
| tschaka | Rampage when he's getting a blue screen after logging in, isnt it rather a gnome/kde issue? | 23:30 |
| David__ | hello everyone | 23:30 |
| Rampage | tschaka: Oh | 23:30 |
| legend2440 | daves111: the problem is your /etc/hosts file does not match your /etc/hostname file .. so in /etc/hosts file change 127.0.1.1 daves111-desktop.192.168.1.104 to 127.0.1.1 daves111-desktop and that should fix it | 23:30 |
| chimp | I have a usb that i can use to boot off, so i might try it | 23:30 |
| daves111 | legend2440: ok, I could try that ... won't hurt anything, right? | 23:31 |
| David__ | i am back and i got a problem....I installed ubuntu with the alternate cd and i am getting this messege.http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/IncomingF5/DSC00349.jpg | 23:31 |
| addison | Rampage: what is x? | 23:32 |
| Rampage | addison: your desktop environment, X window system | 23:32 |
| David__ | the cut off part said something about not read only or is read only i didnt now i missed that when i took a picture. | 23:32 |
| daves111 | legend2440: how would it have gotten wrong? | 23:32 |
| addison | Rampge: how would i fix it??? | 23:32 |
| legend2440 | daves111: write down what is says before you change it so you can change it back if you have to.but it should fix the problem | 23:32 |
| reportingsjr | does anyone know of a beat mapper/maker like fruity loops or logic pro? | 23:33 |

| legend2440 | daves111: not sure but its happening a lot lately with all the updates | 23:33 |
| benpicco_ | chimp, yes, they use the 2.4 kernel tree to provide optimal performance for older machines | 23:34 |

| newbyx86 | azathoth99: It should work in theory. I tried it a minute ago but I had routing issues... | 23:38 |
| newbyx86 | (Yours should just be fine.) | 23:38 |
| legend2440 | matt444: can't empty it? | 23:38 |
| matt444 | legend2440: correct, can not. i used the terminal and cleared out the folder. no change. | 23:39 |
| newbyx86 | Can you just point the trash applet? Right click and hit properties or whatever? | 23:39 |
| icqnumber | ttt, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx | 23:39 |
| newbyx86 | See where it's pointing, just update it if it's wrong. | 23:39 |
| thehumanerror | I just deleted my /media/cdrom0 and /media/cdrom1 because I wanted Ubuntu to just use cdrom0, and I deleted the soft link cdrom as well, fully expecting Ubuntu / HAL or something to make it again when the device is re-plugged. It didn't. Now what do I do! | 23:39 |
| thehumanerror | please | 23:39 |
| ttt | icqnumber, I already did apt-get remove nvidia* :) | 23:40 |

| Jordan_U | Shak-, I think that's because flash does not work with pulseaudio yet, you have a few options if that is the problem you are having. 1: install libflashsupport to get in development and still buggy ( makes flash less stable ) support for flash in pulseaudio 2: stop using pulseaudio and instead use ALSA directly ( this can be done from System -> Preferences -> Sound ) | 23:48 |

| SonicComKid | Quick simple question guys. I'm installing Ubuntu. At the last step when it asks about installing a boot loader, if I tell it to install the boot loader to the Ubuntu partition, that means as long as that partition is active, it'll boot, right? Meaning I don't have to install it to the master boot record, right? | 23:48 |
| legend2440 | daves111: ok close and then open new terminal and try sudo gedit /etc/hosts | 23:48 |
| Shak- | Jordan_U: wait, why is flash involved? | 23:48 |
| newbyx86 | SonicComKid: are you using any other operating systems? | 23:49 |
| daves111 | legend2440: same thing | 23:49 |
| Rampage | SonicComKid: if its XP you are using you can install it as master | 23:49 |
| newbyx86 | SonicComKid: If you install to the MBR, and Windows is/was previously installed, the MBR will boot over your Ubuntu partition. | 23:49 |
| newbyx86 | er, don't install to the MBR, and ... | 23:49 |
| newbyx86 | Yeah. | 23:49 |
| SonicComKid | yes sda1 is XP, sda2 is reserved for Vista, and sda3 is Ubuntu | 23:49 |
| legend2440 | daves111: ok try in new terminal gksudo nautilus | 23:49 |
| newbyx86 | If you don't install to the MBR I doubt it'll boot Ubuntu. | 23:50 |
| newbyx86 | SonicComKid: And btw, when you install Vista, it'll overwrite whatever's on your MBR. | 23:50 |
| newbyx86 | So I'd install Vista then install Ubuntu. :) | 23:50 |
| fiXXXerMet | I have two hard drives in my computer, with ubuntu on the first. Can I install xp on the second drive and then just pick wich hard drive to boot to from the bios? | 23:50 |
| SonicComKid | I already talked about the Vista issue | 23:50 |
| newbyx86 | fiXXXerMet: It'll boot the MBR/first partition of the first hard-drive. | 23:50 |
| fiXXXerMet | If I I tell the bios to boot from the second drive? | 23:51 |
| SonicComKid | what I want to know is if I install the boot loader to sda3, as long as sad3 is the active primary, will Ubuntu boot? | 23:51 |
| daves111 | legend2440: same thing; maybe I need to go to different directory or sign in with pass | 23:51 |
| newbyx86 | SonicComKid: I don't think so. If there's anything on the MBR it'll boot the MBR first. | 23:51 |

| SonicComKid | Last time I did this, I installed it to the master boot record, and it completely screwed up XP. Even though GRUB had an entry pointing to XP's parition correctly, it would not boot | 23:52 |
| legend2440 | daves111: in terminal try sudo -i | 23:52 |
| SonicComKid | I don't want to do that error again | 23:52 |
| Rampage | SonicComKid: I'm dual booting with XP and i have no such problem | 23:52 |
| newbyx86 | SonicComKid: That's weird. XP/Vista's boot loader won't load Ubuntu. | 23:52 |
| mneptok | SonicComKid: Windows happily uses other bootloaders, including GRUB | 23:52 |
| newbyx86 | So you should try GRUB and if that fails, look into LILO. | 23:52 |
| newbyx86 | I used LILO when I dualbooted Slackware and XP. | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SonicComKid Make a backup of the mbr so you can easily restore it | 23:52 |
| newbyx86 | And it worked just peachy. | 23:52 |
| === moDumasser is now known as modumass | ||
| SonicComKid | ...okay.. I'll try the master boot record again, but I had troubles with that before | 23:52 |
| newbyx86 | Jack_Sparrow: no need to really make a backup eitherw ay. Can always just put in an XP CD and fixmbr from a recovery console. | 23:53 |
| SonicComKid | I have no tools to backup the MBR | 23:53 |
| daves111 | legend2440: ok, asked for pass; I put it in and now says root@daves111-desktop | 23:53 |
| mneptok | newbyx86: the NT bootloader can load Linux (or other OSes), but it's a PITA to set up | 23:53 |
| Rampage | i tend to restore the mbr using the windows recovery CD and running fixboot and fixmbr | 23:53 |
| newbyx86 | mneptok: You have to take the first 512 bytes or whatever and put it in a file? | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbyx86 Personally I always backup my mbrs | 23:53 |
| newbyx86 | I've read through that -- it doesn't look like fun or like it's worth it :P | 23:53 |
| siekacz | hello | 23:53 |
| legend2440 | daves111: ok good. now type gedit /etc/hosts | 23:53 |
| mneptok | newbyx86: nothing relating to Windows is "worth it" ;) | 23:53 |
| newbyx86 | Haha. | 23:53 |
| SonicComKid | boot loader is installing to sda | 23:54 |
| newbyx86 | Anyway, anybody want to confirm for me whether or not the statistics for a network interface reset at like, 4GB transmitted (RX or TX independent)? | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SonicComKid cd Desktop sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | assumind sda | 23:54 |
| daves111 | legend2440: ok .. worked | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | assuming sda | 23:54 |
| legend2440 | daves111: try to open update manager | 23:54 |
| siekacz | compiz works, but cases many artifacts :/ | 23:54 |
| genius | is there some software, that will allow to record my desktop - i want to record a tutorial! | 23:54 |
| Rampage | only at 1.2GB and 2GB here | 23:55 |
| mneptok | !info recordmydesktop | 23:55 |
| ubottu | recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.6-1 (hardy), package size 45 kB, installed size 136 kB | 23:55 |
| Rampage | @ newbyx86 | 23:55 |
| genius | gnome | 23:55 |
| newbyx86 | Rampage: for transmitting? | 23:55 |
| genius | thnx! | 23:55 |
| newbyx86 | I transmitted ~20GB of music and such, and it would never go past 4GB. | 23:55 |
| SonicComKid | Jack_Sparrow, uhh... no idea where that'd be saved, nor how to restore it after | 23:55 |
| genius | mneptok: thanx! | 23:55 |
| newbyx86 | I'd ifconfig and it would be at like... 30MB received when I know I've sent more. | 23:55 |
| SeanL9941 | im back, | 23:55 |
| daves111 | legend2440: ok it's open | 23:55 |
| Rampage | newbyx86: TX 1.2GB RX 2GB | 23:55 |
| daves111 | legend2440: it's ready ... am I? | 23:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SonicComKid it will be saved to the hd desktop and you use live cd to mount the hd to restore it.. one sec for that command | 23:56 |
| Rampage | I have a 50GB upload on linuxdc++ so i'm guessing thats correct newbyx86 | 23:56 |
| SeanL9941 | i put the ubuntu disc in my other comp and i get to 'run from disc to try out..' and all i get from there is command prompt that says (initramfs) _ | 23:56 |
| newbyx86 | Haha. | 23:56 |
| legend2440 | daves111: ok good. that will also fix the problem you were having with gksudo gedit /etc/hosts | 23:56 |
| newbyx86 | That's weird stuff I guess. I wonder if that's a feature or just a random bug. | 23:56 |
| jobr07ab | Hay peole | 23:56 |
| Rampage | never noriced it though newbyx86 | 23:56 |
| SonicComKid | Jack_Sparrow, I'm using live CD, I don't have any hard disks mounted | 23:56 |
| === jobr07ab is now known as jobr | ||
| Rampage | as long as it works no point poking it :P | 23:57 |
| newbyx86 | I first noticed it and I thought "oh no, did my computer randomly reboot?" and a w confirmed it didn't. | 23:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SonicComKid You can save the mbr to a usb...Boot Livecd...Insert USB Drive...Copy the mbr.backup to the Desktop...go to Terminal...dd if=mbr.backup of=/dev/sda bs=1 | 23:57 |
| SonicComKid | I just told the installer to write the boot loader to sda | 23:57 |
| newbyx86 | Not very important, but hey, something neat. :P | 23:57 |
| newbyx86 | Oh well. Thanks for confirming that Rampage. I guess I'll hang around now and help other people :P | 23:57 |
| Rampage | newbyx86: I'll try monitor mine and see if it goes over | 23:57 |
| daves111 | legend2440: God bless you! I've tried to fix this for a long time; even re-installed ubuntu | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | Shak-, Do mp3s work after boot but before opening the browser? | 23:57 |
| ttt | by the way, problem solved, just uninstalled and deleted nvidia* and reinstalled using the nvidia.com script :) | 23:57 |
| SeanL9941 | Rampage: i put the livecd/install cd in my comp and all i get is initramfs, what do i type besides Help | 23:57 |
| Rampage | i should go off and do some revision | 23:57 |
| legend2440 | daves111: no problem take care | 23:57 |
| daves111 | legend2440: I've been on here before but have got the strangest answers | 23:58 |
| SeanL9941 | there isnt a specific amd and/or intel version like the osx86 ? | 23:58 |
| daves111 | legend2440: it is downloading as we speak | 23:58 |
| Shak- | Jordan_U: they work fine most of the time (even when the browser is in use), I think its when something takes over the audio controller that everything else can't play | 23:58 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: this when you try booting from the disk? | 23:58 |
| legend2440 | daves111: its kind of a new problem. i think the updates are changing that file | 23:58 |
| SeanL9941 | yes from the cd | 23:59 |
| ttt | anyway thx for the help icqnumber and benpicco | 23:59 |
| SeanL9941 | and i get the language option, pick english then i have 3-4 other options "try it out" or "install" | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | Shak-, Then that thing taking over is most likely flash, try either of the two options I mentioned | 23:59 |
| jobr | This is very long time since i have been at IRC, how do i list channels/rooms | 23:59 |
| Rampage | install SeanL9941 | 23:59 |
| SeanL9941 | but i wanted to 'try it' first? | 23:59 |
| daves111 | legend2440: legend2440would that also effect some other things | 23:59 |
| Shak- | Jordan_U: my audio controller has always been set to HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) | 23:59 |
| SeanL9941 | er... just a guess but the installer runs the live first doesnt it? | 23:59 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: try it out will load it all up in ram for that session only | 23:59 |
