I tried "make" and "sudo make install" but i get "make: *** [default] Error 2 and then nothing happens is there anyone that can help me. | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | Shak-, I don't know what it could be then, a possible solution might be to try using pulseaudio :) | 00:01 |
| SeanL9941 | OK,..but if i hit install now, and i have not done any partition yet what'll happen? | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | electroman87, What are you trying to install? | 00:01 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: you can edit partitions in the installation process | 00:01 |
| electroman87 | a vpn lcient | 00:02 |
| newbyx86 | electroman87: Go put the entire log on a pastebin and give us the link. | 00:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | electroman87 As a new user, you should look at synaptic, apt-get and aptitude and stick with our repositories of tested software | 00:02 |
| SeanL9941 | ok perfect :) thanks ill get on it, | 00:02 |
| daves111 | legend2440: what? | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | electroman87, Which vpn client? | 00:02 |
| electroman87 | it comes in a tar.gz file | 00:02 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: make sure you choose manual and not guided though | 00:02 |
| SeanL9941 | ok | 00:02 |
| legend2440 | daves111: up above Jack_Sparrow got you a link to read about terminal commands | 00:02 |

| Rampage | SeanL9941: guided uses the full disk | 00:02 |
| SeanL9941 | anything else i should know? | 00:02 |
| icqnumber__ | ttt, why was not you happy with the one form the repo, if will do a kernel update, you will need to install/update nvidia driver manually again? | 00:02 |
| David__ | http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/IncomingF5/DSC00349.jpg just installed from the alternate cd ubuntu 8.04 wont boot this is the messege i am getting can someone tell me what is wrong. | 00:02 |

| Rampage | SeanL9941: have you defragmented the windows partition? | 00:02 |
| newbyx86 | makes for easy updating :) | 00:02 |
| icqnumber__ | ttt, from* | 00:02 |
| SeanL9941 | tried to, but said i didnt need to | 00:02 |
| electroman87 | it's cisco vpn client | 00:02 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: try run an offline defragment to move the unmovable files | 00:03 |
| SeanL9941 | fresh installof xp pro about 2 weeks ago | 00:03 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: that should be okay i guess | 00:03 |

| SeanL9941 | jobr: just being a noob thats all :) | 00:03 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: install it and if the partition resizing moans at you do an offline defragment of the windows drive | 00:03 |
| daves111 | legend2440: sorry, can't seem to find it | 00:03 |
| sam_ | Hey, Im in the process of building a computer and im looking for a case. Price doesnt matter too much although cheaper is probably better...I just dont like those stupid doors on the front and i like windows to show off my stuff but not those gay dragon lookin things...any ideas | 00:03 |
| electroman87 | i read that and followed the steps but no go | 00:03 |
| zvacet | SeanL9941 : defragment it few times anyway | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daves111 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:04 |

| newbyx86 | htpc eh | 00:04 |
| chimp | Anyone here know how to force ubuntu NOT to perform a forced fsck on bootup? | 00:04 |
| zvacet | SeanL9941 : I see windows ready for defragment just after install | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 00:04 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 00:04 |

| daves111 | legend2440: thanks again | 00:05 |
| jobr | SeanL9941, did you have quations about partitions... du you got the nomal live cd or the alternative | 00:05 |
| David__ | how do i make my hd not read only | 00:05 |
| SeanL9941 | alright ill go back to xp and defrag then pop the disk in | 00:05 |
| Rampage | zvacet: i avoid defragmenting unless i'm having to modify the partitions | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | David__ ntfs partition? | 00:05 |
| SeanL9941 | job i got the normal install cd | 00:05 |
| David__ | yeahg | 00:05 |
| chimp | Jack_Sparrow: Only have access via live cd, should i mount the / and then create the fastboot file there? | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ntfs-3g | 00:05 |

| David__ | but istarted with unallcocted space | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | electroman87, Sorry, it seems that it does not come by default but can be installed with the package "network-manager-vpnc" which you can get either by running "sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc" or using system -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager if you prefer a GUI | 00:05 |
| jobr | nths-3g -- isn't it installed default in hardy? | 00:06 |

| zvacet | Rampage : defragment windows before Ubuntu install | 00:06 |

| SeanL9941 | sucks right now i only have 1 keyboard (g15) my ps/2 keyboard doesnt want to work on my htpc and my MS bluetooth htpc keyboard doesnt work in command line anything | 00:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:07 |
| zvacet | job : if you want to dual boot and don´t want to lose any of yours windows files | 00:07 |

| Jordan_U | electroman87, My wireless lost signal for a second, did you get my previous message? | 00:07 |
| Rampage | SeanL9941: you need another application, i use perfect disk for offline defragmenting | 00:07 |
| SonicComKid | takes 5 seconds when I pick XP for it to actually start to load, but that's fine | 00:07 |
| electroman87 | no | 00:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | user01 Buy hardware with better support | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | electroman87, Sorry, it seems that it does not come by default but can be installed with the package "network-manager-vpnc" which you can get either by running "sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc" or using system -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager if you prefer a GUI | 00:08 |
| electroman87 | i don't think so jordan | 00:08 |

| jomanc | hi, im trying to edit my applications menu, i right click on Applications, and then click on Edit Menus and it doesnt work. i found that i can bring up the menu editor by running sudo alacarte, but i cant edit al | 00:12 |
| jomanc | all the entries in the other menu | 00:12 |
| genii | jomanc: Thats likely becase you ran it with sudo at some point instead of gksu | 00:12 |
| electroman87 | Jordan_u it worked but i do not have the profiles for my school | 00:12 |
| genii | permissions were changed so normal user can't access it anymore | 00:13 |
| jobr | zvacet, i think defragmenting is not necessary... but mabye a good idea | 00:13 |
| sensae | I'm trying to get KitchenSync to sync SyncML, it won't run | 00:13 |
| jobr | zvacet, i wound not do it :) | 00:13 |
| jomanc | genii, how do i change them back? find alacarte in one of the bin directories and change the permissions? | 00:13 |
| genii | jomanc: No. On;y the things in your own home directory | 00:14 |
| jobr | jomanc,what are you tryning to do | 00:14 |
| zvacet | jobr : like I said it is not for me I don´t use M$ | 00:14 |
| genii | jobr: He's ran alacarte with sudo and now normal user can't access it | 00:14 |

| genii | jobr: jomanc | 00:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | quailman ctrl alt F2 first | 00:18 |
| marcus_ | yes reboot | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | see if it will bring up a cli | 00:18 |
| genii | jomanc: All things in your home dir should be owned by you actually. I'm trying to find the exact file name atm | 00:18 |
| marcus_ | i'm guessing you didn't test woith the live disc? | 00:18 |
| jomanc | genii okay thanks | 00:18 |
| jomanc | only things that are owned in my homedir by somebody other than me is .dbus by root | 00:19 |
| quailman | ctrl alt F2 = nothing | 00:19 |
| jobr | quailman, ? | 00:19 |
| dynamethod | Hey im ssh'ing to my home machine(on windows atm) using putty, how do i open up another terminal session? | 00:19 |
| newbyx86 | dynamethod: open up another putty? | 00:19 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am having a perculiar problem with firefox, if i edit bookmarks, and i close firefox, the changes revert, | 00:19 |
| === icqnumber__ is now known as icqnumber | ||
| dynamethod | no | 00:19 |
| jobr | quailman, ctrl alt F1... nothing? | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | quailman then yes, reboot.. Had to check that though | 00:19 |
| quailman | ctrl alt F1 also nothing | 00:20 |
| dynamethod | usually in bash i just use alt f1 but thats not working with putty | 00:20 |
| electroman87 | how do i find out what kernal im using?? | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | dynamethod: What do you mean another terminal session? Do you want a new bash? | 00:20 |
| dynamethod | yup a new bash | 00:20 |
| zvacet | electroman87 : uname -r | 00:20 |
| Starnestommy | electroman87: to find your kernel version, use uname -a | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | Try "bash -l" ? | 00:20 |
| quailman | thanks guys. I'll reboot & see what happens | 00:20 |
| dynamethod | cause im running WEBrick, so i cant do anythhing else otherwise | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | OH. | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | You rpobably want screen. | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | probably* | 00:20 |
| dynamethod | ya thats the one | 00:20 |
| electroman87 | thank you | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | Is screen installed? | 00:21 |
| dynamethod | not sure, but i could install it | 00:21 |
| newbyx86 | Type "screen" into bash, then you can create new "screens" with some keystrokes. | 00:21 |
| newbyx86 | CREATE A NEW TERMINAL: [CTRL + A] C | 00:21 |
| newbyx86 | (hold CTRL, push A, let go of both, push C) | 00:21 |
| newbyx86 | then to move between them, use [CTRL + A] N and [CTRL + A] p | 00:21 |
| Shak- | is there a way to see what processes are tying up my audio card? | 00:21 |
| dynamethod | sweet, ill try that as soon as my lag chills the fak out | 00:22 |
| newbyx86 | haha ok | 00:22 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am having a perculiar problem with firefox, if i edit bookmarks, and i close firefox, the changes revert,how do i find out whats going wrong | 00:22 |
| genii | jomanc: You need to chown ~/.config/menus/applications.menu back to your username and group | 00:22 |
| newbyx86 | It should actually be [CTRL + a] c/n/p, the capitlized variatns may do something different. | 00:22 |
| newbyx86 | :P | 00:22 |
| jobr | Jaffarkelshac, how experienced are you | 00:23 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i do fine Jobias | 00:23 |

| genii | ingo__: just sudo aptitude/apt-get remove it, grub will adjust itself | 01:21 |
| Demon | I believe that was the problem I had before | 01:21 |
| SonicComKid | crdlb, it offers drivers, but it doesn't even specify if it's the newest or even for my card | 01:21 |

| SonicComKid | it only shows graphics card too.. why doesn't it do the same for sound drivers and the like? | 01:21 |

| BCM43 | jimcooncat_: try this http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkl/ | 01:26 |
| Bhavesh | Nanoer two different type of file systems.. ext3 is upgrade to ext2 which provides journal, so if system crashes, you have less chance of losing files | 01:26 |
| BCM43 | supercom32: you could back it up? | 01:26 |
| Nanoer | Bhavesh: Is there any disadvantages to using ext3 over ext2? | 01:26 |
| supercom32 | Genii: Will that cause Ubuntu to stop running when it can't write to the media it expects to be writable? | 01:26 |
| BCM43 | supercom32: it should just tell you | 01:27 |
| Bhavesh | Nanoer none that i know of, others may have more info, but one ADVANTAGE of ext3 is that if you need to, you can mount it as ext2 file system | 01:27 |
| genii | supercom32: If you have a swap file on there perhaps | 01:27 |
| Chunky_Ks | "Is there any disadvantages to using ext3 over ext2?" No. Use ext3. | 01:27 |
| supercom32 | BCM43 I could back it up, but I'm actually thinking about saving the life of the media. | 01:27 |
| Nanoer | Bhavesh: Ah okay thanks :) | 01:27 |
| Chunky_Ks | Do not use ext2, ext2 needs to die already. | 01:27 |

| genii | supercom32: Since swap generally gets used when ram runs out I'm not sure what kind of performance you'll get incidentally. Might be bettwe to just disable it if you have 1+ Gb | 01:31 |
| hou5ton | BCM43: this is the results withOUT the external card. http://paste.ubuntu.com/18932/ | 01:31 |
| Bhavesh | nevermind i got happy too quickly | 01:31 |
| hou5ton | BCM43: do you want me to do another one WITH the external card inserted now? | 01:31 |
| BCM43 | hou5ton: this page will tell you how to get the internal one working, if you want i can help with the external one too. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 01:32 |
| supercom32 | genii Well ok. My pendrive has no write protect switch. And as you said, yes, swap is used when memory runs out. Is there anything else that can be done perhaps? I see tutorials all over on how to make your live pendrive persistant, but nothing in reverse. Maybe there is a feature which tells the OS not to write changes to disk? | 01:32 |

| genii | supercom32: There previously was a method which involved running the casper (livecd image) from another device like thumbdrive etc. If you have a heavily customised version, perhaps consider using something like Ubuntu Customisation Kit which allows you to make a custom install cd. Then use the image from that. | 01:35 |

| killux | hey is there a way to remove all the gnome panels in gusty? | 01:44 |
| Ice_Max | cpudan: i still plan on using XP as my main OS, since i rely heavily on adobe programs and gaming | 01:44 |
| BCM43 | hou5ton: ok, i just forgot you problem | 01:44 |
| killux | I am using awn | 01:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: right | 01:44 |
| hou5ton | BCM43: any thoughts on that external card? | 01:44 |
| Ice_Max | both of which are things that linux doesn't seem ot do well :( | 01:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: If you have modern rig - XP will fail to detect the HDDs because they use SATA | 01:44 |
| BCM43 | Ice_Max: linux has great adobe alternitives | 01:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: Do you have a floppy drive? | 01:45 |
| BCM43 | hou5ton: nope, sorry | 01:45 |
| Cpudan80 | In the machine you plan on installing XP on | 01:45 |
| Ice_Max | cpudan: would build a Pc without one :) | 01:45 |
| Ice_Max | *wouldn't | 01:45 |
| Cpudan80 | lol ok good | 01:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: So go download the SATA drivers from your mobo site ahead of time - and in the XP install it will say like "Press F<something> to load 3rd party drivers" -- do that and follow the steps | 01:46 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: join ##windows if you need more help though, as that is outside the scope of ubuntu (Im in there too) | 01:46 |
| Ice_Max | cpudan: why would i need to do that? ive had no problem installing XP before on this machine | 01:46 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: Are your HDDs IDE or SATA ? | 01:47 |
| jamisnemo | I'm trying to use the network boot/network install method to install ubuntu but I keep hitting failures when the installer is being downloaded. It always fails when loading libntfs-3g23-udeb | 01:47 |

| tzone | ? | 01:48 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: It's possible that you haven't turned on SATA in the BIOS | 01:48 |
| Rampage | jamisnemo: what> | 01:48 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: the default mode for most BIOS is to act like IDE | 01:48 |

| nabcore | What determines which number a wirless card interface gets (wlanN) where N is the number? | 01:51 |
| Rampage | jamisnemo: hmm, not sure, image corrupted in the download or on disk perhaps? | 01:51 |
| jamisnemo | Rampage, alright I'll try another archive... | 01:51 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: ahh ok - I have a gigabyte board (was going to tell you the setting) | 01:51 |
| Dachha | nabcore: That is 0 for the first wireless card on up wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 etc | 01:51 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: Its something like SATA mode or something like that -- in the section where you set the advanced things | 01:52 |
| Ice_Max | cpudan: ill go poke around the BIOs options, haven't been in it for a while | 01:52 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: But if you enable it - you'll need the SATA drivers from your mobo's website --- just put them on a floppy --- its not a big deal for users with FDDs | 01:52 |
| Dachha | nabcore: wlan0 is for your only wireless if that is the case | 01:53 |
| Cpudan80 | It gets problematic when you have no FDD | 01:53 |
| nabcore | Dachha; ok I've had a different card in the machine in the past, and now I have a new one. However it gives the new card the interface wlan2; it seems like it may have "rememebered" something of the old one | 01:53 |
| Ice_Max | would i be able to downlaod them with the lvie Cd right now and put them on a floppy? | 01:53 |
| Dachha | nabcore: that is way above me right now.. Just getting the lingo down right now. ;-) | 01:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: Sure - just mount the flopy and copy the drivers | 01:54 |
| pub | whats the command to get a dockapp? `sudo apt-get dockapp wmcpuload`? | 01:54 |
| pub | or is dockapp install | 01:54 |
| Cpudan80 | Ice_Max: assuming Asus doesnt do one of those EXE extractor things -- in which case.... :-/ | 01:54 |

| danbhfive | maestrojed: have you checked the file? | 02:06 |
| maestrojed | Rampage: Nothing that I remember | 02:06 |
| Rampage | maestrojed: I messed my install similarly as i did "chmod 755 /" which i now know is a stupid thing to do | 02:07 |
| maestrojed | danbhfive: I have, its permissions are 777 and is owned by root. I tried changing it to 0440 but I can't because I am not root (and now it becomes circular) | 02:07 |
| Rampage | chmod -R 755 / actually | 02:07 |

| Ice_Max | cpudan: by default, SATA 1 and 3 are set as master drives | 02:08 |

| maestrojed | BCM43: When I try it with Sudo I get that sudo message again. | 02:11 |
| mr_flea_ | VSpike: What happens when one installation thinks it's a great idea to install something that's already installed, or when one decides to modify the grub.conf? | 02:11 |
| nickrud | VSpike can. But no reason to have a /boot partition in ubuntu anyway | 02:11 |
| Rampage | mneptok: out of curiosity if i did not want users to access any folder but /home/user how can i do that? | 02:12 |
| VSpike | nickrud: can't the kernel file and initrd be specified in grub? | 02:12 |
| maestrojed | Rampage: yeah, there is no way to log in as root. Only sudo. Unless you use recovery mode or something like that, right? | 02:12 |
| powertoo108 | Woyrz: try disabling your onboard sound in bios if you have it, fixed my sound issues | 02:12 |
| Rampage | mneptok: as after my last incident i'm wary of recursive chmod | 02:12 |
| nickrud | mr_flea_ ah, I was thinking of kernels only. You are absolutely right | 02:12 |
| Woyrz | ok thanks | 02:12 |
| nickrud | unless only one of them has grub installed | 02:12 |
| mneptok | Rampage: the default permissions should provide relatively good security | 02:12 |
| Rampage | maestrojed: ALT CTRL F1 and login as root there | 02:12 |
| VSpike | nickrud: oh. why not? I was advised to do so by the folks in #lvm | 02:13 |
| Rampage | mneptok: yeah default perms don't let users edit, but i was thinking maybe if possible not to let the ls /etc for example | 02:13 |
| nickrud | VSpike for lvm, yes you do need a separate boot. | 02:13 |
| mr_flea_ | VSpike: If you're really careful, though, and manually manage things like grub.conf, you can probably pull it off. Something that automates less of the process of installing things may be a better idea. | 02:13 |
| mneptok | maestrojed: except that won't work. boot to a live session, mount your internal /, and fix the perms | 02:13 |
| maestrojed | Rampage: is there a GUI way to do that. I am connected via VNC and either that command did not work or was not send correctly via VNC (probably the latter) | 02:13 |
| mneptok | Rampage: security through obscurity is a poor model ;) | 02:14 |
| maestrojed | mneptok: ok | 02:14 |
| Rampage | maestrojed: no gui, do what mneptok said | 02:14 |
| Rampage | maestrojed: it works for me as the first things i do is usually enable the root account | 02:14 |
| maestrojed | why does /etc/sudoers care that it is 777 instead of 440. Picky little devil. | 02:14 |
| * nickrud crosses his fingers at Rampage | 02:14 | |
| mneptok | maestrojed: you cannot login as root as suggested because by default Ubuntu has no root password, effectively disabling interactive logins for the root user (this is a Good Thing(tm)) | 02:14 |
| mr_flea_ | maestrojed: because if it's 777 then anyone can give themselves whatever they want for permissions. | 02:15 |
| nickrud | maestrojed so it's privately owned by root, and not readable/alterable by any old user | 02:15 |
| Starnestommy | maestrojed: because that makes it so that anyone can give themself root access via sudo because anyone can edit its config file with 777. 440 prevents all writes and keeps all but root from reading it | 02:15 |
| mneptok | maestrojed: you are allowed to ask that question again when you send me a picture of your sister and your car keys. ;) | 02:15 |
| Rampage | nickrud: only as a precaution if i ever need to use the root account, and initially while installing all applications when i can't be bothered doing sudo (lazy i know), but in normal use i don't use roor :P | 02:16 |
| mneptok | Rampage: sudo -i is your new best friend | 02:16 |

| maestrojed | mneptok: I understand the security around it but I think the way it is implemented is crippling. Either don't let me change it to 777 or let me mess up my security as I wish (maybe with a warning). Letting me change but then taking away that functionality just crippled the system.

| nickrud | VSpike yes, a sec while I pull up some instructions | 02:29 |
| darth | ahhhh | 02:29 |
| darth | you need samba for that | 02:29 |
| VSpike | nickrud: If I boot a 7.10 live cd presumably the contents of /boot will be about right, if I edit the menu.lst | 02:29 |
| darth | ubuntu already has samba, easiest thing would be to download a gui-setup tool of some kind | 02:29 |

| impal3r | wubi is different than dual boot? | 03:03 |
| darth | tmapj, what are you talking about? | 03:03 |
| nickrud | impal3r yes, wubi exists as a file in windows, not on it's own partition | 03:03 |
| sapph424 | So GRUB's hd0 is essentially the same thing as Ubuntu's hda, and I should just leave it be? | 03:03 |
| rampageoberon | anyone know if usermod -L <user> works to kill users logged in via ssh? | 03:03 |
| darth | fbc: dont think i can reply you becuase im not regged | 03:03 |
| musikgoat | sapph424: yes | 03:03 |
| Starnestommy | impal3r: yes, because dual boots use partitions, but wubi is a file that looks like a partition | 03:03 |

| mystery_ | Quick question: whats the difference between add/remove programs and Synaptic | 03:25 |
| gleaken | I have a problem with an Toshiba Tecra M2, Nvidia GeForce FX chip coming back from suspend. The display will come back, and X seems to come up, I see the cursor, but the box to enter my Password does not appear, just a tan screen with the cursor. I can move to other VTs and the system is up and running, the display is just borked. This is Hardy. | 03:25 |
| jrib | mystery_: different frontends/GUIs | 03:25 |
| mystery_ | are they both repositories | 03:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | mystery_: add remove programs is specific programs.. synaptic is packages | 03:26 |
| GT65 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/18948/ | 03:26 |
| lostinlinux | after i manually config it ssid and security and password for the network and static ip which is the one the for the lan not the wan right | 03:26 |
| lostinlinux | and subnet and the router as the gateway right | 03:26 |
| lostinlinux | she gets out | 03:26 |
| lostinlinux | but after a reboot I have to re do all of it everytime | 03:26 |
| BZWingZero | mystery_ they reference the same repositories. It is just a different way of presenting them. | 03:26 |

| mystery_ | oh ok i understand | 03:27 |
| Starnestommy | mystery_: synaptic is more versatile, while add/remove is easier to use, although synaptic shows more packages | 03:27 |
| coo|dude | i read that other laptop, such as dell also hav the same prob | 03:27 |

| sapph424 | Okay, this is getting infuriating. Every single time I try to install Ubuntu, it hangs on 'Running update-grub'.

Is anyone familiar with this issue that can address a way out? | 03:27 |

| Soulwarp | Hilikus: you may want to check your hard drive to see if it's getting enough power from your power supply | 04:00 |
| boselecta | any ideas? | 04:01 |
| Andreus | I'd very much like suggestions on what the issue here could be. | 04:01 |
| Andreus | Because for some reason it (sometimes) starts properly in recovery mode. | 04:02 |
| mangojambo | please... do someone have problem to capture dv video on kino? I'm capturing, but the processor goes high sometimes, bugging parts of the video... | 04:02 |
| Hilikus | Soulwarp thats not the problem, i mean if the electricity in my block goes out, of course the whole computers shuts down and the partitions dont close nicely, but the other partitions fix the inconsistencies, not the jfs one | 04:02 |
| Soulwarp | Hilikus: if it's not a power issue it may be a bad HDD | 04:03 |
| Soulwarp | Hilikus: the bug you posted suggest that | 04:04 |

| sapph424 | You can burn a CD image to a DVD. It will work fine | 04:12 |
| MarcoDiego | boselecta: mplayer | 04:12 |
| Satan | wusb54gc | 04:12 |
| ramier | oh? how? i was planning on using cdrecord | 04:12 |
| Satan | oh my bad :( | 04:12 |
| Bodsda | ramier, do it exactly as you would a cd but use a dvd | 04:12 |
| rampageoberon | ramier: just stick in a dvd and burn it :) | 04:12 |
| boselecta | MarcoDiego: thx i'll try that | 04:12 |
| Josellis | hello | 04:13 |
| sapph424 | ramier: Or rather, do exactly as you would if it were a 'DVD' image. Whatever programs/process you normally use to burn a DVD image - use it for the CD image. It veel vork | 04:13 |
| jaykay | anyone know how to stop the acpi or battery module from running ? | 04:13 |
| ramier | sweet sounds good :) | 04:13 |
| MarcoDiego | hi, how do i change the ubuntu logo on the gnome menu-bar? found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572712 , but there's no key named "menu-object" | 04:13 |
| ramier | on the same note, i've never burned anything on linux before, what app do peopel use? on fedora :p | 04:13 |
| Bodsda | jaykay, i think you would add noacpi to the boot line in grub | 04:14 |
| boselecta | MarcoDiego: can mplayer deal with .pls playlists? | 04:14 |
| sapph424 | ramier: Beats the hell out of me - I burned my Ubuntu disks from Windows :? | 04:14 |
| ramier | heh :( i burned fedora on windows, but i don't have windows anymore :( | 04:14 |
| Josellis | I was wondering, is there any difference between the programs when downloaded from the ubuntu servers compared to the program's website (e.g. Downloading openoffice through www.openoffice.org or downloading through the synaptic package manager) | 04:14 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, are you using a downloaded icon set or a default set? if default, which one? | 04:14 |
| MarcoDiego | boselecta: not sure, but i think thye're human-readable textfiles | 04:14 |
| Soulwarp | ramier: what system are you using now? | 04:15 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: running an ubuntu live-cd | 04:15 |

I'm thinking it probably involves xrandr but I'm a bit hazy on what the syntax would be for me to do so ...??????? | 04:16 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, hang on lemme find the tuto | 04:16 |
| Bhavesh | sapph424 for the laptop i am trying to install it on.. it hung for a long time but it eventually moved.. not sure how long is your wait/pause | 04:16 |
| sapph424 | So far? About 14 hours. | 04:16 |
| Soulwarp | ramier: if i remember correctly from using fedora in the past, i think it comes with a cd burning program | 04:16 |
| sapph424 | Yeah | 04:16 |
| Bhavesh | sapph424 that may be a bit too long | 04:16 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: thx, I'll wait right here | 04:16 |
| ramier | i'm sure it does; i just don't know what its called | 04:16 |
| Soulwarp | ramier: you may want to try this in terminal | 04:17 |
| Bhavesh | cd burning software ' xcdroast' for xwindow or cdrecord for command line | 04:17 |

| Josellis | what is the difference between programs downloaded from the ubuntu servers compared to the program's website? | 04:18 |
| ramier | what does xubuntu use for package management? apt? or deb? or is that really old | 04:18 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: lots of png and svg's | 04:18 |
| rampageoberon | ramier: apt | 04:18 |
| Bodsda | Josellis, programs from the repo'sare always in a .deb format and are installed for you without having to compile from source | 04:18 |
| ramier | does it work the same as yum | 04:18 |
| ramier | the same idea | 04:18 |
| Soulwarp | ramier: apt yes | 04:18 |
| rampageoberon | ramier: debian based so apt-get or aptitude | 04:18 |
| Janice8954 | yes rampageoberon: LIke when you put them in the trash bin and empty it. | 04:18 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, you need to have 1 image in mind, and it needs to be scaled down to 24x24 | 04:18 |
| Satan | ::: | 04:18 |
| Soulwarp | ramier: very symilar yes | 04:18 |
| rampageoberon | ramier: yes same idea | 04:19 |
| Janice8954 | I need to recover them so i can wipe them. | 04:19 |
| Bhavesh | Josellis most likely, main difference may be that one from prog's website you have to compile yourself, vs one from ubuntu software repository it comes compiled | 04:19 |
| ramier | ok :) | 04:19 |
| jpw27_ | if I want to run a Python program on a remote client, but they don't have Python installed, could I SSH into them, and do something like export PYTHONPATH=user@localmachine:/path/to/python | 04:19 |
| Soulwarp | ramier: similar* | 04:19 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: ok, have some of those | 04:19 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, pick one and tell me the EXACT file path | 04:19 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: what should i do? | 04:19 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: not sure how to do that, amybe someone else here know how | 04:19 |
| wasabi | I've got this USB Serial adapter which isn't being recognized. NOt sure why. Pretty sure I know which driver should be used | 04:19 |
| sapph424 | janice: I know of no way to 'recover' them. However, it should be possible to 'wipe' over your unallocated sectors. | 04:19 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: wait | 04:19 |
| amenado | jpw27_-> it has to be installed at remote end | 04:19 |
| Josellis | Bodsda: but for programs that do no need compiling (e.g. thunderbird, skype, etc.) is it better to download from ubuntu server or the website (mozilla.com and skype.com) | 04:20 |
| hey` | MAN I had a presentation a few hours ago and my lappie didn't work with the video beam. | 04:20 |
| Janice8954 | sapph424. There is software in Windows that can do this. Why doesn't Linux have something? | 04:20 |
| jpw27_ | amenado: darn...so tjere | 04:20 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: http://www.runtime.org/diskexplorer.htm#DE_LINX perhaps | 04:20 |
| jpw27_ | amenado: so there's no way to execute things on a remote end using tools on the local end | 04:20 |
| hey` | I don't know what happened, and I just rented the video beam. | 04:20 |
| Janice8954 | Sapph424: you are also speaking Iranian to me because I have no idea what you just said. | 04:20 |
| sapph424 | Janice: Windows doesn't delete things like linux/unix does | 04:21 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: windows based though :( | 04:21 |
| Bodsda | Josellis, if there in the repo's then use the repo's | 04:21 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/tomboy.png | 04:21 |
| wasabi | Janice8954: There are debugging tools you can use to recover files from ext3 and friends, and there are commercial tools. They are ungodly expensive. | 04:21 |
| rampageoberon | sapph424: does linux write over the full file with 0 or 1's? | 04:21 |
| amenado | jpw27_-> nope, no other way..once you login to the other end, its the resources at the remote you are using, not localhost | 04:21 |
| sapph424 | janice: Is your concern security? That someone will gain physical access to your hard drive and use forensic techniques to recover the data from deleted files? | 04:21 |
| boselecta | MarcoDiego: is there a way to set up a playlist for MPlayer? it seems to work for what I want. | 04:21 |
| jpw27_ | amenado: darn. thanks for the answer | 04:21 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, run this exact command in a terminal. sudo cp /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png.bak && sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/tomboy.png /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png | 04:22 |
| sapph424 | janice: Because, honestly, I'm in Information Assurance for a DoD agency, and I think that's usually a fairly paranoid viewpoint. | 04:22 |
| Janice8954 | Yeah that's sort of the idea sapph424. I have no idea how to run Autopsy | 04:22 |
| MarcoDiego | boselecta: sure it is possible, but sorry... dont know how :( | 04:22 |
| wasabi | Janice8954: Fill teh driver with new files. | 04:22 |
| Bhavesh | has anyone gotten linksys wireless card WCP54G working with 8.04 edubuntu? | 04:22 |
| wasabi | fill the drive | 04:22 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, then run this command gnome-panel --replace | 04:22 |
| Janice8954 | sapph424: I am a private investigator and I can't have these files my machine. | 04:22 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: done | 04:22 |
| sapph424 | Very few private individuals have data that is worth the cost, time and effort to do a forensic hard drive analysis. | 04:23 |

| Janice8954 | Anyone know how to run Autopsy. | 04:23 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: Opção --replace desconhecida | 04:23 |
| MarcoDiego | Execute "gnome-panel --help" para ver a lista completa de opções de linha de comando disponíveis. | 04:23 |
| Bodsda | boselecta, highlight the songs you want then right click on one of them go to the playlist menu then select create new playlist | 04:23 |
| sapph424 | janice: If you are really really concerned, then download the ubuntu image about . . . . 100 times. That should take care of it. :) | 04:24 |
| rampageoberon | sapph424: just out of curiosity, the rm command doesn't overwrite the full thing with 0's or 1's ? | 04:24 |
| boselecta | Bodsda: what if my "songs" are URLs? | 04:24 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: gnome-panel --replace is not a valid option | 04:24 |
| jpw27_ | Janice8954: i'm a little late to the conversation, but is something like this what you're looking for? http://wipe.sourceforge.net/ | 04:24 |
| Janice8954 | wasabi: I think you know as well as I do that any encryption can be broken | 04:24 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, then run this command killall gnome-panel | 04:24 |
| Bodsda | boselecta, might work,.,.dunno | 04:24 |
| sapph424 | rampage: AFAIK, it only removes the inode to the file - the data is ignored. | 04:24 |
| Janice8954 | jpw27. I just got wipe. I | 04:24 |
| Janice8954 | Yesterday, | 04:25 |
| wasabi | Janice8954: Dude. Okay, fine. I'm not helping you then. That's silly. | 04:25 |
| jpw27_ | Janice8954: ok | 04:25 |
| rampageoberon | sapph424: ah, so would you happen to know how to recover them | 04:25 |
| ghindo | Odd quesiont, but does anyone know how a bash command to make a computer do the system beep on command? | 04:25 |
| extor | Does ubuntu have any way of running multiple desktops simultaneously with different users logged in? | 04:25 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: to wipe out files you can use shred too | 04:25 |
| wasabi | extor: Yes. | 04:25 |
| Miesco_ | How do I make my audacious playlist bigger | 04:25 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: gnome-panel killed, restarted... old icon is still there | 04:25 |
| boselecta | i get INET6 errors in MPlayer. is that normal? | 04:25 |
| extor | wasabi, my main reason for asking was security--to sandbox non-rooted apps from each other | 04:25 |
| sapph424 | Janice: It is patently false that any encryption can be broken. The current 'strong' encryption would take all the computational power currently in existence millenia to do it. Be realistic. | 04:26 |
| Janice8954 | wasabi: I don't understand why'd you take offense to my statement, as it's the truth. An encrypted Disk is not what I need. I need to get rid of files that I already have. | 04:26 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, ok are you using the default icon set? | 04:26 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: yes | 04:26 |

| ghindo | endafy: To install JRE, type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" into the terminal | 04:28 |
| Toba | argh | 04:28 |
| sapph424 | rampage: Well, it depends on how long it has been since the deletion occured and how much writing to the disk has occurred. If the deletion just happened, and they are REALLY REALLY important, I would immediately shut down, boot from a LiveCD, mount the hard drive in read only, make a bit copy to another device, and use a sector-based file scanner to try to find the data. That is usually reserved for criminal investigations, however. | 04:28 |
| endafy | ty | 04:28 |

| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, wait | 04:29 |
| endafy | how do I add the trash can to the desktop in gnome | 04:29 |

| endafy | virtualbox FTW unless you know what ur doing | 04:30 |
| linxeh | cens0red: yes, I use virtualbox to provide a standard win2k image to desktop machines | 04:30 |
| amenado | cens0red-> whats parallels? is that same as paravirtualizations like kvm, openvz? | 04:30 |
| cens0red | linxeh do u need a dual processing chip? | 04:30 |
| Bodsda | Jalathan, doesnt really matter but yeah | 04:30 |
| jpw27_ | Boohbah: that's why i prefaced it with 'dont know a bash command but" :) | 04:30 |
| Boohbah | cens0red: you need a virtual machine? go for virtualbox | 04:30 |
| linxeh | cens0red: no, but it helps | 04:30 |
| linxeh | amenado: yes | 04:30 |
| cens0red | Boohbah linxeh cheers. Will do. | 04:30 |
| linxeh | cens0red: you can always try the trial of parallels no doubt | 04:30 |
| Andreus | Guys, I now can't even get it started in recovery mode. | 04:31 |
| Andreus | Do you guys have any idea what's going on? | 04:31 |

| Bodsda | does mkdir have a recursive option? | 04:31 |
| cens0red | linxeh yeah but then I will no doubt have some pty trial software in my system somewhere. | 04:31 |
| amenado | okay, i tried openvz seem okay..am trying to learn the virtual ethernets on the vps | 04:31 |
| Jalathan | Bodsda, cp does i believe | 04:31 |
| Jalathan | mkdir doesn't | 04:32 |
| ghindo | jpw27_ Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work :( | 04:32 |
| linxeh | cens0red: pty ? | 04:32 |
| jpw27_ | ghindo: really? odd.... | 04:32 |
| cens0red | linxeh proprietry. | 04:32 |
| Bodsda | Jalathan, i no cp does,.,. but why you cant make a folder and a sub dir with 1 mkdir command i can work out | 04:32 |
| cens0red | however it's spelled. | 04:32 |
| c0deblank | Does anyone know how to get rid of the notice's and the icon on the task bar that is telling me that proprietary drivers are in use? | 04:32 |
| Bodsda | can=cant* | 04:32 |

| jason0_ | Anyone here run dual head w/ latest ubuntu and e17? I seem to get one spanning zone instead of 2. any ideas? | 04:33 |
| c0deblank | Bah, someone help me >_< | 04:34 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, dunno then sorry,.,. why do you want it if your on live cd anyway? | 04:34 |
| Jalathan | Bodsda, (this may help you, is in the man for mkdir) -p, --parents: no error if existing, make parent directories as needed | 04:34 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: not my computer | 04:34 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: would that work if the system were installed? | 04:34 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, so why do you want to change the icon if it will return to the previous icon next time its used? | 04:34 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, yes ive done it on mine,.although i downloaded an icon set then change it | 04:35 |
| ghindo | jpw27_ Yup, doesn't work | 04:35 |
| jpw27_ | ghindo: weird | 04:35 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: to do it where i have the system installed | 04:35 |
| Bodsda | Jalathan, i dont think that helps me but thanks for looking | 04:35 |
| jpw27_ | ghindo: does it output anything? | 04:35 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, search google? | 04:35 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: yes | 04:35 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: found a solution using conf-editor | 04:36 |
| ghindo | jpw27_ Nope. I know I have Python installed, too... | 04:36 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: coping of files was not needed | 04:36 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, search this "How to change the applications bar icon ubuntu" dont use gconf that thing is confusing as hell | 04:36 |
| jpw27_ | ghindo: very weird...does this system ever beep? | 04:36 |
| bigdaddy0522 | hello all | 04:36 |
| bigdaddy0522 | whats going on tonite? | 04:36 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: i search that | 04:36 |
| Bodsda | bigdaddy0522, helpin people | 04:36 |
| Bodsda | ghindo, whats your problem with python? | 04:37 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: i like more using gconf than coping files | 04:37 |
| cens0red | linxeh I only have a celeron 2800 with 1gig of ram. | 04:37 |
| sapph424 | I'm getting the impression that the standard ubuntu install doesn't blast the drive, it just kinda overwrites. I think that's the problem grub is having - there is already a grub on there - possibly a newer one. Is there a command that will just kill every damned thing on the drive. I don't need a secure wipe or anything like that. I just don't need any installers getting confused about what may or may not have been installed previ | 04:37 |
| matthias_N | hi, how do i get the trash bin back that i used tio have in the grey bar in the bottom ... | 04:37 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, ok,. then look for gconf tuts,,.i personally dont like it but thats my opinion | 04:37 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: know if would this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572712 work if the system were installed? | 04:38 |
| Bodsda | sapph424, boot live cd then use gparted to delete all partitions | 04:38 |
| sapph424 | matthias: right click on task bar, Add to Panel, Trash. | 04:38 |
| Bodsda | MarcoDiego, im not sure, sorry | 04:38 |
| MarcoDiego | Bodsda: ok thanx | 04:38 |
| Andreus | So I've got two problems now. One essentially dupes this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=472056 and the other one, which manifests at startup in recovery mode, is an expanded version, where by it keeps saying "soft resetting link", "EH complete" | 04:38 |
| matthias_N | sapph424: i di but it does not show up ... | 04:39 |
| ghindo | jpw27_: I tried it on two systems, and they both beep | 04:39 |
| Miesco_ | How do I find a song in audacious, I got like over 4k songs | 04:39 |
| Andreus | It looks like at least the first one is widespread. Does anyone have any suggestions? It is not my harddrive that is faulty. | 04:39 |
| ghindo | Bodsda: I was trying to make the system beep. | 04:39 |
| Janice8954 | Actually it seems I owe you all an apology. | 04:39 |
| matthias_N | sapph424: with volume control i can but not on trash ... | 04:39 |
| Bodsda | matthias_N, delete the panel and make a new one | 04:39 |
| Janice8954 | Upon further research I've discovered that it it impossible to "wipe" a single file. | 04:39 |
| Bodsda | Janice8954, what do you mean 'wipe' a single file? | 04:40 |
| matthias_N | Bodsda: thank you i will unless there is a way without deleting ... | 04:40 |
| Janice8954 | Which leaves me a question. If format the HDD and do a fresh install of Ubuntu, will that destroy the files in question? | 04:40 |
| Bodsda | matthias_N, its quicker just to delete it then make a new one honest | 04:40 |
| BZWingZero | Janice8954: Try using "shred", it should throughly destroy anything. | 04:41 |
| Boohbah | i thought 'wipe' was something one did to one's ass | 04:41 |
| Bodsda | Janice8954, if you delete/format the partitions then probably yes | 04:41 |
| sapph424 | janice: No | 04:41 |
| Janice8954 | It doesn't. | 04:41 |
| Bodsda | !ohmy | Boohbah | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Boohbah: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:41 |
| Bhavesh | i would think you would have to write zero's over the drive | 04:41 |
| Boohbah | Bodsda: everyone shits. deal with it. | 04:41 |
| Janice8954 | sapphh424: what have I to do? | 04:41 |
| matthias_N | Bodsda: ok | 04:41 |
| candive | hello ubottu | 04:42 |
| sapph424 | janice: removing a partition doesn't actually remove any of the data. If you are willing to lose the whole drive? | 04:42 |
| Bodsda | !ohmy | Boohbah -- seriously, watch your language and behavior | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Boohbah -- seriously, watch your language and behavior: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:42 |
| ezzieyguywuf | I am on the internet now wirelessly, but my wlan LED on my thinkpad is not on AND my network-manager applet in my toolbar does not show any wireless networks. any help? | 04:42 |
| genii | Janice8954: The average savvy computer geek will find it difficult to recover data from a repartitioned and reformatted drive. You may need to worry about the FBI | 04:42 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: check the package shred | 04:42 |
| Janice8954 | I said. If I format it not remove a partition. | 04:42 |
| BZWingZero | Janice8954: The easiest way to wipe an entire drive is to boot to a live disk and use shred from the terminal. By default it overrights 25 times (iirc), howver you can change the amount of overrights. | 04:42 |
| Andreus | Anyone got any ideas? | 04:42 |
| === kushal_12_27_200 is now known as kushal1 | ||
| sapph424 | Janice: If you are willing to lose every bit of data on the drive, you can boot from a live cd and run this command: | 04:43 |
| sapph424 | dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda | 04:43 |
| rampageoberon | lol | 04:43 |
| sapph424 | janice: replacing hda with the device for the hard drive in question | 04:43 |

| matthias_N | Bodsda: did but no trash shows up | 04:43 |
| jason0_ | Anyone know how to enable xinerama information w/ 8.04 + nvidia? | 04:43 |
| sapph424 | janice: It will overwrite iver single byte with random data | 04:43 |
| Janice8954 | that is the device in question actualyly. | 04:43 |
| candive | ubottu is cool! | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Factoid is cool! not found | 04:43 |
| Jordan_U | Janice8954, I suggest thermite :) | 04:43 |
| Bodsda | matthias_N, even with the new panel? try killall gnome-panel then try again | 04:44 |
| Janice8954 | Why don't you guys realize that those programs are only smoke and mirrors. | 04:44 |
| Bodsda | !msgthebot | candive | 04:44 |
| ubottu | candive: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 04:44 |
| BZWingZero | Janice8954: Or "shred -vz -n 5 /dev/hda" will overwright the data 5 times with random data, then zero the drive. | 04:44 |
| sapph424 | If you are really really worried about it, do it about 20 times | 04:44 |
| Bhavesh | i would think 2 times would be more then enough | 04:44 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: do remember it is bad for the hard drive if you do that | 04:44 |
| matthias_N | Bodsda: yes with an new panel it does not appear ... | 04:45 |
| BZWingZero | Just remember, it takes a very long time. | 04:45 |
| Bhavesh | or if you really want to clean it up.. run shred command and then run it under a very strong magnet | 04:45 |
| Janice8954 | How about I just use my Acer Factory resto disc to restore Vista. Then go back over that with Ubuntu? | 04:45 |
| [Gork] | does anyone know how to get glibc and glibc-dev? | 04:45 |
| Janice8954 | Magnets don't work either. | 04:45 |
| rampageoberon | i wouldn't want to unnecessarily write stuff to the dive, more wear and tesat | 04:45 |
| rampageoberon | *tear | 04:45 |
| Janice8954 | The metal casing shields the drive from that. | 04:45 |
| Bodsda | matthias_N, not sure then ,.,.sorry | 04:45 |
| matthias_N | Bodsda: ok ... | 04:45 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: please stop now, you have had several solutions | 04:45 |
| rampageoberon | Janice8954: use one of them | 04:45 |
| webwulf | shred works great to wipe a drive, just prepare for it to take a long time if the drive is big | 04:46 |

| sapph424 | janice: Smoke and mirrors? I secure classified data for a living. You REALLY want to be secure? DoD secure? Fine. Get a 2" titanium drill bit and put as many holes in the platters as you can fit. Can we be done now? | 04:46 |
| Janice8954 | We are thanks. | 04:46 |
| sapph424 | Super. | 04:46 |
| Bodsda | !nickspam | Alan_M Hi dude: | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Alan_M Hi dude:: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also /msg ubottu Guidelines | 04:46 |
| rampageoberon | sapph424: yeah i read about that somewhere on the register or inquirer | 04:46 |
| Hilikus | im using jfs and everytime my computer shuts down because of a power outage my jfs partition doesnt mount. my ext3 and xfs partitions probably have issues with that too but they repair themselves (im assuming). the jfs partition i always have to manually run jfs_fsck which always works and fixes it. is there a way to let the system try that if the partition doesnt mount instead of my running the same command manually every time? | 04:47 |
| Janice8954 | Clearly I will figure this on my own with the help of an FBI Computer Foresic Scientist. | 04:47 |
| sapph424 | Personally, I find that to be a bit message. I disassemble the drive (torx is your friend!) and run the platters through a crosscut disc shredder. | 04:47 |
| Alan_M | Sorry Bodsda :) | 04:47 |

| ubottu | matthias_N: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 04:49 |
| Bhavesh | how paranoid can you possibly get? | 04:49 |
| Bodsda | matthias_N, the applet you are trying to get is simply a launcher which does nautilus ~/.local/share/Trash | 04:49 |

| Renate | ok... i've read myself stupid and it still isnt working. how do i launch a windows app (ms wireless keyboard/mouse)in .wine, from /root? i have the .exe on my desktop and on the driver disk. keeps giving me the error: cant find volume to launch, you sure you have permissions? (yes, i even upgraded the .wine and did the winetricks/native thing. i have ubuntu 8. | 04:52 |

| nickrud | sapph424 just what are you trying to accomplish? mbr & grub is not 'blow away the partitions' | 04:54 |
| Bodsda | nickrud, its a not finished plugin for compiz that was designed to give 4 different wallpapers, 1 for each dekstop its called wllpaperz | 04:55 |

| sapph424 | nickrud: In addition to blow away the partitions, I want to blow away any trace of grub or the mbr - I want the next time I try an install for there to be not so much as a trace of the last install. | 04:55 |
| * Alan_M kicks nickrud a drool bucket :) | 04:55 | |
| nickrud | sapph424 run the live cd, and run cfdisk and delete every partition on the disk | 04:55 |

| xborgy | what other program can i use besides the ATI Control Center to tinker with my dual monitors? The gnome-display-properties only allows me to choose 1 display which i do have two monitors. | 04:57 |
| Bodsda | sapph424, you may need the alternate installer,.,or manual partition and have a seperate /boot partition | 04:57 |

| Andreus | Normal startup just constantly loops this error message ad infinitum. | 04:59 |
| rampageoberon | rj_: pardon? | 04:59 |

| Andreus | Starnestommy: It isn't, it's a new machine. | 04:59 |
| addison | every time i try to update to ppc gutsy i get a blue screen after restarting. | 04:59 |
| Renate | the set worked fine, until the most recent upgrade/update, then they disappeared | 04:59 |
| Bodsda | Renate, sudo wine /path/to/exe | 04:59 |
| Andreus | And yes, I know it's possible that they delivered it with a faulty hard-drive. I just think given the fact that it CAN boot (very occasionally) that it isn't. | 04:59 |
| linuxpenguin207 | addison: ppc is no longer supported in hardy | 04:59 |

| nickrud | linuxpenguin207 you can see the changes at /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic/changelog.Debian.gz | 05:00 |
| xborgy | i need my main monitor on the DVI | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | addison, That doesn't mean we won't try to help though :) | 05:00 |
| linuxpenguin207 | nickrud: wouldn't i have to untar that first? | 05:00 |

| rj_ | okay... | 05:02 |
| magic_ninja | xborgy, i'm inexperienced with this type of thing, but that seems, generally the simplest solution, or switch the monitors around if you can | 05:02 |

| Boohbah | rj_: yes, gentoo is good too | 05:03 |
| Bhavesh | congrats | 05:03 |
| nickrud | afallenhope you need to use --remove-home | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | critta, , I think the problem is that 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 ) | 05:03 |
| critta | I went to System -> Preferencs -> Sound and changed everything to PulseAudio. | 05:03 |
| addison | i need ppc help | 05:04 |
| Boohbah | critta: good luck with that | 05:04 |
| xborgy | there has got to be something to change priority or which monitor is the default though right? | 05:04 |
| genii | afallenhope: You might want to add --remove-home | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | critta, Were you shak- earlier today? | 05:04 |
| critta | Nope. | 05:04 |
| genii | nickrud: Sorry didn't see your reply | 05:04 |
| xborgy | hard to beleive it dont just work like it does in windows. | 05:04 |
| nickrud | addison it's pretty tiny, but sometimes there's help in #ubuntu-ppc . Mostly devs there, but they do take pity on people with specific questions if they have the time | 05:04 |
| afallenhope | genii & nickrud: I do add that but it still doesn't | 05:04 |
| xborgy | nothing actually just works in ubuntu so far. | 05:04 |
| nickrud | genii no problem, sometimes repetition reassures people | 05:04 |
| xborgy | i think i need to go back to LFS and make sure everything works. | 05:05 |
| Andreus | xborgy: Don't I know it. | 05:05 |
| rj_ | why does linux developer didnt create games for linux | 05:05 |
| xborgy | i miss LFS> | 05:05 |
| Nanoer | hey i've imported some themes into the emerald theme manager but how do i put them into effect? I tried emerald --replace but it returns to the old theme whenever i use the desktop cube effect | 05:05 |
| rampageoberon | rj_: linux games do exist | 05:06 |
| xborgy | its the best linux in the world | 05:06 |
| Alan_M | !games | rj_ | 05:06 |
| ubottu | rj_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 05:06 |
| genii | Hmm. | 05:06 |
| nickrud | afallenhope just ran a test here, it worked | 05:06 |
| rampageoberon | afallenhope: it works here too | 05:06 |
| rampageoberon | so no idea why yours is not working | 05:06 |
| Nanoer | anyone know? | 05:07 |
| webwulf | I need educational programs for edubuntu, anyone know of others that are not in the standard repos? | 05:07 |
| rj_ | i mean doesnt like games for windows. you can found it anywhere. in my country, most of the linux user is hacker. | 05:08 |
| linuxpenguin207 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/18957/plain/ | 05:08 |
| xborgy | Andreus: yeah most of all these people making their own distros is going to newbies and the problem is there isnt enough help for the newbies.With Linux From Scratch everything will work perfectly because you have to build it all from scratch. | 05:08 |
| afallenhope | nickrud & rampageoberon: look at this: http://pastebin.com/d5baaa272 | 05:08 |
| Andreus | xborgy: I am a complete Linux newb. I just want a distro that will run Ventrilo, apache2, mySQL and Icecast without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. | 05:08 |
| badassmuther | webwulf: look in Applications>Add/Remove>Education | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | webwulf, sugar and related apps from the One Laptop Per child project | 05:09 |
| rj_ | and there is no linux games that i can buy at the shop. | 05:09 |
| grad | test | 05:09 |
| xborgy | Andreus: cool | 05:09 |
| Andreus | Right now, my completely new computer hovers between a state of bricked and un-bricked and I can't really work out what exactly it hinges on when one boot in recovery mode will work and another won't. | 05:09 |
| nickrud | afallenhope try it without the --remove-all-files | 05:09 |
| Nanoer | rj_: the point of linux games is that their free.. | 05:09 |
| linuxpenguin207 | does google have google earth for linux? | 05:09 |
| xborgy | Andreus: i want something that works and linux isnt it heheheh | 05:09 |
| xborgy | windows and mac is | 05:09 |
| xborgy | we all know that. | 05:10 |
| === badassmuther is now known as ireland | ||
| afallenhope | nickrud: that works.. but why doesn't it work with the --remove-all-files? | 05:10 |
| rampageoberon | linuxpenguin207: yes | 05:10 |
| Andreus | Yeah, but I wouldn't be here if I could just use Windows or Mac. | 05:10 |
| rampageoberon | !medibuntu | linuxpenguin207 | 05:10 |
| ubottu | linuxpenguin207: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:10 |
| ireland | Hi and thx in advance. I'm runing ubuntu studio 7.10 and have been trying to update to 8.04 but when i start the Update Manager it gives me an error saying "W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de stable Release.... NO_PUBKEY" I've also tried updateing of a mounted .ISO but have no luck. I can update packets after i close the error msg but there is't an opp to update to 8.04. can any one help me? | 05:10 |
| nickrud | afallenhope the man page for deluser explains it | 05:10 |
| xborgy | Andreus: i just jumped into Ubuntu Studio to try it then i kinda like it but it has way way too many issues. | 05:10 |
| soldats | linuxpenguin207: yes but you should still look at the link above | 05:11 |
| jeremey | is there a less chaotic intermediate chat? | 05:11 |
| In-Sane`` | where do i find games for ubuntu? | 05:11 |
| rj_ | do you know which linux distro that really suitable for "Aspire 4520 laptop"? | 05:11 |
| xborgy | and nothing Ubuntu Studio has compares to Cubase SX | 05:11 |
| tyler_ | Has anyone here got SHOUTcast working with IDJC? | 05:11 |
| xborgy | or Adobe Photosho[ | 05:11 |
| linuxpenguin207 | soldats: what link? | 05:11 |
| rampageoberon | rj_: try different ones and find out | 05:11 |
| xborgy | The Gimp is just too plain. | 05:11 |
| afallenhope | nickrud: no it doesn't.. because it keeps the home dir | 05:11 |
| Alan_M | !games | In-Sane`` | 05:11 |
| ubottu | In-Sane``: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 05:11 |
| rj_ | ok.. i keep that in mind. | 05:11 |
| ezzieyguywuf | is ubuntu studio just ubuntu with a bunch of audio apps installed? b/c i agree that it has issues and am thinking a/b reverting to regular 'ol ubuntu and then installing those apps | 05:12 |
| soldats | linuxpenguin207: the link ubott_u gave you from rampageoberon | 05:12 |
| nickrud | afallenhope the home dir is not the files :) | 05:12 |
| nickrud | afallenhope try it again, but check to see if the files disappear, but not the home dir itself | 05:12 |
| Alan_M | In-Sane``, also, check the add/remove applications menu item under the applications menu, there is a "games" subsection. | 05:12 |
| soldats | linuxpenguin207: in short open synaptics and search for google earth | 05:12 |
| tyler_ | Has anyone here got SHOUTcast working with IDJC? | 05:12 |
| Alan_M | In-Sane``, sorry, not add remove applications, just "add/remove" under "applications" menu. | 05:13 |
| xborgy | ezzieyguywuf: that and it has the rtprio.py thingy set to 99 for highest priority making the kernel a low latency kernel. | 05:13 |
| rampageoberon | linuxpenguin207: you need to add the medibuntu repo to you sources.list first | 05:13 |
| In-Sane`` | Alan_M: yep, got it there, thanks | 05:13 |
| soldats | tyler_: i know someone who has so i know it very possible. he runa streaming server | 05:13 |
| Hilikus | im using jfs and everytime my computer shuts down because of a power outage my jfs partition doesnt mount. my ext3 and xfs partitions probably have issues with that too but they repair themselves (im assuming). the jfs partition i always have to manually run jfs_fsck which always works and fixes it. is there a way to let the system try that if the partition doesnt mount instead of my running the same command manually every time? | 05:13 |
| komies | Hi, I'm a new user and having some trouble setting up my wireless. I'm pretty sure I need to download the drivers, but i'm not sure where or how to go about that, if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. | 05:13 |
| xborgy | the rtprio.py is telling @sound to have 99 | 05:13 |
| ezzieyguywuf | yea well i don't really have latency issues, so i don't think thats a problem | 05:13 |
| Alan_M | In-Sane``, welcome :) | 05:13 |
| nickrud | but I'm getting a very weird bug, when I add a user pam claims the account has expired! | 05:13 |
| BJ_ | Does anyone know anything about Kubuntu | 05:14 |
| xborgy | Kubuntu = KDE | 05:14 |
| rampageoberon | !ask | BJ | 05:14 |
| BJ_ | Is it better than ubuntu? | 05:14 |
| ubottu | BJ: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:14 |
| xborgy | i dont like KDE 4 | 05:14 |
| mystery_ | hi | 05:14 |
| Boohbah | BJ_: try it out and decide | 05:14 |
| linuxpenguin207 | soldats: i was just asking as a suggestion to help out webwulf | 05:14 |
| Alan_M | !kubuntu | BJ_ | 05:14 |
| ubottu | BJ_: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 05:14 |
| BJ_ | hello | 05:14 |

| rj_ | wat is different between ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, & xubuntu. is there any privileges in each package | 05:14 |
| tyler_ | soldats_: The server connect button doesn't pop up o i cant click which means i cant connect | 05:14 |

| Boohbah | xborgy: sounds like a play on vista :) | 05:15 |
| ezzieyguywuf | what is cubase? | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | xborgy, BJ_ Ubuntu ultimate is not an official 'version' of Ubuntu and last I looked was poorly hacked together | 05:15 |
| === fade-in_ is now known as jhonka_james | ||

| tyler_ | its to bad vista has so many problems. Its graphics and desktop enviroment is realy kewl | 05:15 |
| Andreus | OK, yet again, people. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223088 seems to be a more detailed description of the problem. | 05:16 |

| satanas | rampageoberon, yep | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | linuxmonkey, And support for thin clients and generaly useful tools in a school environment | 05:16 |
| nickrud | afallenhope then they are conflicting options. You might check for a bug report on bugs.ubuntu.com , and file one against adduser with an explanation of what is happening. Either the docs will change or the behaviour will change | 05:16 |
| soldats | linuxpenguin207: well just as i said do a search for it in synaptics but make sure you have the medibuntu repos enabled and he/she should be able to install it | 05:16 |
| rampageoberon | satanas: remove the totem plugins for mozilla and install mpayer plugins for mozilla | 05:16 |
| xborgy | there is even a Ubuntu Christmas Edition. | 05:16 |

| Andreus | There's got to be a solution to this. | 05:22 |
| linuxpenguin207 | rampageoberon: yes i belive it is | 05:22 |
| linuxpenguin207 | i saw it on digg once | 05:22 |

| ata2 | hello everybody, ubuntu user here. to install new packages in redhat, can you use directly "rpm" like I do with "apt-get"? It seems to me that rpm is mainly for installing rather than downloading them from a repository like for the latter. Is this the case? | 05:22 |
| xett | i´m running ubuntu 8.04 and have tried to install slackware on a second partition. as you may know, slackware runs lilo, not grub, and i´m having trouble installing slack into grub. | 05:22 |

I'm runing ubuntu studio 7.10 and have been trying to update to 8.04 but when i start the Update Manager it gives me an error saying "W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de stable Release....

| candive | Hello, How do I stop my laptop from switching screens when I use my touch pad. can the extra screen be disabled? Thank you. | 05:23 |
| Jalathan | akahige: i've noticed that the -18 kernel has issues, the -19 might fix some of them (it is in the pre-released repo, use only if you don't mind having the possiblity of more issues)) | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | Andreus, Did the upgrade complete "successfully" or was it possibly stopped mid upgrade? | 05:23 |
| Alan_M | ata2, rpm is more for installing, correct, you cant download with a package manager like rpm or dpkg. | 05:23 |
| Chrasange | hm, no help? | 05:23 |
| jmhealey | my gdm will not start after a hardy to gutsy upgrade unless i choose the 2.6.22-14 kernel | 05:23 |
| Andreus | Jordan_U: They always complete successfully | 05:23 |
| ata2 | Alan_M: is there anything built in redhat with a repository element? | 05:23 |
| xett | is this the right place for a slackware and ubuntu problem? | 05:23 |
| * Jalathan is afk | 05:24 | |
| akahige | Jalathan: more issues is NOT something I need right now. what kind of issues are you seeing? | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | ata2, yum = apt-get, dpkg = rpm ( pretty much :) | 05:24 |
| Jalathan | akahige: stability more than anything | 05:24 |
| jga | I'm having ssh issues, I can connect over the lan, but when I'm on wireless it times out, any ideas? | 05:24 |

| Chrasange | OK, so I got HardyHeron and NONE of the desktops will log in, any idea? | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | ata2, np | 05:24 |
| Andreus | It works OK if you boot SATA in RAID mode! | 05:24 |
| Jalathan | akahige: i skipped the -18 kernel, but am finding the -19 is unstable for my use | 05:24 |
| Andreus | Of course, that only works if you use ubuntu as your sole O/S | 05:25 |
| akahige | Jalathan: would that effect smb? that's not kernel level, is it? | 05:25 |
| satanas | rampageoberon, mplayer also fails to stream ^^... I tried totem cuz I was desperate :P | 05:25 |
| Jalathan | akahige: i'm afraid that i'm not sure, however it would likely affect the network abilities of the device | 05:25 |

| rampageoberon | satanas: i'm not sure then, sorry :( | 05:27 |
| akahige | Jalathan: network stack, sure. but this issue seems to ONLY be smb related. all other networking functions (that I've tried) seem fine. and even weirder, I can stream media down from devices, but my ability to write to them is totally hosed. | 05:27 |

| mystery_ | does anyone know how to download and install emerald themes | 05:31 |
| n-iCe | TheFool, sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 05:31 |

| rj_ | can anyone help me how to play dota in linux.i already install wine. | 05:31 |
| TheFool | mystery_: emerald theme manager used to be the best way, haven't messed with it since 7.10 though | 05:32 |
| TheFool | n-iCe: so openssh... | 05:32 |
| n-iCe | TheFool, i guess so | 05:32 |
| nickrud | linuxpenguin207 no, i686 is pentium II class or better 32bit | 05:32 |
| puff | n-iCe: And "ps -ef | fgrep -is sshd" shows you what? | 05:32 |

| n-iCe | that's all | 05:33 |
| Alan_M | linuxpenguin207, i686-64 would mean you had 64 bit. | 05:33 |

| TheFool | mystery_: I went to fluxbox so...can't help you much | 05:35 |
| nickrud | linuxpenguin207 so what's happening is the -generic kernel recognizes what chip you have, and optimizes itself for pentium II or better | 05:36 |
| puff | n-iCe: So the problem is probably somewhere in how you're trying to log into it or in how you have your users set up. | 05:36 |

| Alan_M | unavailable, 32 bit seems to give you more options, your just not using the full capabilities of the processor (64 bit processing of course) with 32 bit on a 64 (obviously). | 05:37 |

| linuxpenguin207 | anyways i was thinking about deleting my windows xp, yes thats right. but theres one reason i need XP is DVD shrink. does that work in wine and don't even say virtualbox......so much painful memories lol | 05:39 |
| puff | n-iCe: No,m he said "does ssh localhost -p 22" work | 05:39 |
| Alan_M | nickrud, heh, yeah... | 05:39 |

| puff | n-iCe: What is the operating system of the machine you are trying to ssh _from_? | 05:42 |
| nickrud | linuxpenguin207 I switched to it because vmware was slow. But this is in a windows host, so not really applicable or on topic really | 05:42 |

| linuxpenguin207 | flannel: i have tried acid:rip and it doesn't even burn the whole dvd just one chapter | 05:42 |

| n-iCe | puff, ubuntu | 05:42 |
| twiztidmind | what do u mean | 05:42 |
| afabian | Chrasange: Lots of possible points of failure in the boot process. You should narrow it down a bit. Does GRUB load? Does the kernel load? Does it fail probing hardware? Does X start? etc. | 05:42 |

Ever since the last kernel update (to 18, I believe, though now I'm on the proposed 19 and it's still a problem) my wireless just disappears after a while. dhclient eth1 doesn't get a response, iwlist scan eth1 shows no networks, and ifup/ifdown never heard of eth1. Rebooting restores it for a short while, then I'm back to there. | 05:46 |
| rampageoberon | just leave "port" n-iCe | 05:46 |

| puff | simplechat: I eventually slipped and accidentally did an aptitude full-upgrade after adding the hardy-proposed repository to my source.list. It upgraded a ton of things, and now everything except the original wireless problem is back to normal. Only I'm on hardy-proposed now, of course. | 05:52 |
| simplechat | i'm also getting random reboots when playing URT, but i thought that was just thermal | 05:52 |
| afabian | simplechat: If you can figure out what packages were in the last round of upgrades, you can boot into a live CD, chroot, and force the install of the old packages manually with dpkg | 05:52 |

| nickrud | darth often we do a ban for typing that, so please don't repeat | 05:52 |
| allquixotic | simplechat: I've noticed widespread stability problems with ATi's proprietary fglrx driver on 8.04 and even 7.10, I would suggest using the open source driver... slower for games, but stable | 05:52 |

| n-iCe | rampageoberon, done, purged, now? | 05:52 |
| darth | the remove command? | 05:53 |
| darth | sorry | 05:53 |
| puff | simplechat: I'm not sure what the deal is with hardy-proposed, but if it's anything like a dist-upgrade, then it's going to be hard/impossible to go backwards, so I'm either stuck on hardy-proposed or I reinstall from scratrch. | 05:53 |
| Flannel | puff: You got lucky, You ought to disable hardy-proposed as soon as possible. | 05:53 |
| simplechat | afabian, yeah, but how would i know that? | 05:53 |

| afabian | simplechat: maybe.. ahh... time-stamps on debs in /var/cache/apt/archives? | 05:54 |
| puff | Flannel: What happens next? I just wait for the packages in the remaining repositories to out-pace the ones installed from hardy-proposed? | 05:54 |
| simplechat | puff, that would suck. this was just a normal apt-get update though | 05:54 |
| noobuntu | hello | 05:54 |
| simplechat | with the normal set of repos | 05:54 |
| nickrud | nobi-san do sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal, put the output on paste.ubuntu.com , and give me the link so I can see it | 05:54 |
| simplechat | afabian, so first what? i need to mount my other drive, then chroot? | 05:54 |
| nobi-san | nickrud: thanks! | 05:55 |
| Flannel | puff: you're still using the -proposed packages that you've installed, you just wont get any more of them. If you'd like, you can downgrade whatever you installed, which gets especially easy if you know exactly what you upgraded. | 05:55 |
| nobi-san | nickrud: will do | 05:55 |
| puff | simplechat: Update or upgrade? | 05:55 |
| noobuntu | how to make sun java to default JDK/JRE? thx | 05:55 |
| nickrud | this makes 4 broken dpkg databases, is it a full moon? | 05:55 |
| puff | simplechat: update just updates apt's record of packages, shoudn't actually install anything. | 05:55 |
| simplechat | puff, it was through the little update manager thing | 05:55 |
| genii | puff: Both , in the order you had them | 05:55 |
| simplechat | upgrade it would be then | 05:55 |
| puff | Flannel: It upgraded 89 packages. | 05:55 |
| nickrud | noobuntu if you installed them as ubuntu packages, sudo update-alternatives --config java should let you choose | 05:56 |
| rampageoberon | simplechat: in 8.04 its safe-upgrade or full-upgrade depending on what you want to do | 05:56 |
| puff | simplechat: Ah, okay, that was equivalent to a full-upgrade. | 05:56 |
| Flannel | puff: You could probably check your dpkg log. Or at least, get a pretty good idea from it | 05:56 |
| tyler_ | Hey is there a SHOUTcast plugin for XMMS? | 05:56 |
| noobuntu | nickrud: will try now | 05:56 |
| simplechat | so it was a full-upgrade | 05:56 |
| reeeginetor | why does ubuntu suck so much balls? | 05:56 |
| afabian | simplechat: Yeah, that should work. dpkg should work fine.. but, you'll have to get old versions of the packages in question. Maybe directly out of FTP. You might just want to try replacing some likely candidates. | 05:56 |
| simplechat | so how do i go back? | 05:56 |
| Flannel | reeeginetor: Please troll elsewhere, thanks. | 05:56 |

| simplechat | so login, three seconds then black screen | 05:58 |
| puff | For that matter, is there a way to list when the various kernel versions were added to the repository? | 05:58 |

| joanki123 | genii, how do i make the changes take place? | 05:59 |
| nickrud | joanki123 /root is for when you sudo -i , the /etc is for all users on the machine, and the one in home is for you personally (gets read after the one in /etc and can override | 05:59 |
| joanki123 | it doesn' tseem to | 05:59 |

| joanki123 | nickrud, thanks | 05:59 |
| nobi-san | this is probably a really newb question but is the version i'm using too old? | 05:59 |

You can find the debs on the install disc, most likely, but they'll be somewhat old versions.. or, you can try to find the last versions before this update broke something.. straight off of archive.ubuntu.com.

| puff | Flannel: Hm, nothing in my existing menu.lst specifies the number of kernels displayed. | 06:08 |
| afabian | simplechat: So, it was the update manager? | 06:08 |
| rampageoberon | n-iCe: make it 22 and them put a #at the begining | 06:08 |
| Parker1 | Its not Jalathan and I have no idea | 06:08 |

| simplechat | afabian, yeah | 06:09 |
| Jalathan | Renate: with wine, the executables are not needing to be ran with sudo permission | 06:09 |

| Parker1 | Anybody? My Realtek AC97 is not installed. Any help? | 06:11 |
| darth | Renate, it will confuse wine since wine will then look for its config in /root/.wine, don't use sudo for wine | 06:11 |
| Jalathan | Renate: ok. the driver isn't installed via wine though... | 06:11 |
| nickrud | nobi-san do you have a http_proxy set anywhere? | 06:11 |
| afabian | simplechat: do you have anything in /var/log/dist-upgrade? | 06:11 |

| afabian | simplechat: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/111494 ... here's the bug where it's suggested that proper logging should happen. urgh. it's really unacceptable for a tool like this not to produce logs. | 06:12 |
| House_Blend_Pete | no im not | 06:12 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 111494 in update-manager "Display a log of updates performed" [Undecided,New] | 06:12 |
| Renate | it worked fine, from the moment i installed ubuntu. all of a sudden, nothing | 06:12 |
| genii | nano: I had to modify it before | 06:12 |
| Thingus | House_Blend_Pete, Then please turn off your auto-msg scripts. | 06:13 |
| nano | genii, so u searched online for it or somethign? | 06:13 |
| genii | nano: Originally yes | 06:13 |

| Jalathan | Renate: the driver is contained within the linux kernel or as a module addon for the kernel, so window's drivers for a device do not work under linux. | 06:13 |
| simplechat | afabian, hmmm, if its written in python, next time i have a minute i'll patch it | 06:13 |
| nobi-san | nickrud: i don't think so tho | 06:13 |
| simplechat | but yeah | 06:13 |
| nickrud | nobi-san you have us.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com in your sources (the file you showed me) which resolves to something in the 91.189.88.xx range, but you are trying to get stuff from 30.0.1.4 . That's your problem, and that implies something is redirecting your fetches. Why, I don't know then | 06:13 |
| simplechat | atm i'd much prefer a working computer :) | 06:13 |
| simplechat | even if its just push packages and reinstall | 06:14 |
| Jalathan | Renate: i'm going to see if i can find something to help you with on this | 06:14 |
| Renate | ok... but the driver manager thing doesn't have the right keybd/mouse set listed. yet it worked fine for months | 06:14 |
| afabian | simplechat: Well, there's one option that comes to mind... | 06:14 |

| House_Blend_Pete | im not using any program | 06:14 |
| afabian | simplechat: I've never done this. I *think* it should work. It's a little risky. You .. might want to back up your entire system. Heh. | 06:14 |
| eido | genii: that did not seem to correct it and i cannot find an option to display in a wide mode | 06:14 |
| Jalathan | Renate: hrm, ok. | 06:14 |
| Myrtti | House_Blend_Pete: but surely you are on irc? | 06:14 |
| nobi-san | nickrud: would upgrading to the newest ubuntu help? i should be getting the cd soon | 06:15 |
| genii | eido: It just auto-adjusts to the width of your terminal screen. | 06:15 |
| Jalathan | Renate: have you tried using an earlier kernel? | 06:15 |
| puff | Flannel: Argh, eth1 doesn't show up _at all_ in -16 kernel. | 06:15 |

| Parker1 | Realtek AC97 Audio not installed any help? | 06:15 |
| Renate | jalathan: (n00b, remember?) as in how would i do that? | 06:15 |
| nickrud | nobi-san might. But if the net you're working on has a redirect, I'm not sure it would help. If for some reason the redirect is in your system, a fresh install would replace it | 06:15 |

| afabian | simplechat: Remove hardy-updates from /etc/apt/sources.list ... update your sources, and make some package tool (I'm starting to trust aptitude more than synaptic) for downgrades all around. Since they were just patched versions of the same packages, nothing should really break, unless something crazy happens with the package tools. I'm not.. ah, necessarily *advising* this... hah. | 06:16 |

| Parker1 | Wow, room full of experts and not and no one can help me. | 06:17 |

| rampageoberon | n-iCe: do sudo mkdir /var/empty | 06:17 |
| Parker1 | I am completely and utterly shocked | 06:17 |

| feld | darth: yes rc.local is 755 | 06:17 |
| rampageoberon | n-iCe: and then do sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 06:17 |
| nobi-san | nickrud: sounds good to me... wish me luck! thanks for the help! night | 06:17 |
| nickrud | Parker1 sound experts are few and far between | 06:17 |
| rampageoberon | n-iCe: and see if that works | 06:17 |
| Jalathan | Parker1: unfortinately, not everyone has expertice with sound cards | 06:17 |
| Renate | jalathan: ok' | 06:17 |
| Jalathan | Renate: this will present you with a list of options. there should be a kernel listed something like... | 06:18 |
| Myrtti | House_Blend_Pete: sorry, but I'll have to remove you from the channel, we can't have you messaging people around. Feel free to /msg me and when you're sure that you're not infected, join #ubuntu-ops. Thanks. | 06:18 |
| Parker1 | It's just a hardware device. I just need to Ubuntu to recognize it. I can do the rest after. | 06:18 |
| n-iCe | rampageoberon, ok | 06:18 |
| Myrtti | House_Blend_Pete: of course you can leave by yourself too | 06:18 |
| puff | Flannel: Odd, I did sudo reboot to try out -17 and see if eth1 showed up for that. It shut down, screen went black, the power LED and battery-is-charging LED are both on but it's nto booting up. | 06:19 |
| Jalathan | Renate: Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic | 06:19 |

| genii | eido: If you just need user list maybe do who -u it line-wraps on terminals | 06:19 |
| puff | Flannel: I saw similar behavior before, when I was trying to run under an earlier kernel. | 06:19 |

| Kubuntu_ | Hi. Anyone know how to get apt / dpkg to install (track) source code - so that it's part of the package management database ? | 06:20 |

| Jalathan | Renate: yeah... | 06:20 |
| Kubuntu_ | joanki123: why ? | 06:20 |
| eido | genii: -u doesn't seem to correct this either, i tried all the options listed in man | 06:20 |
| Renate | jalathan: kk. will try that. thanks | 06:20 |

| Nanoer | Hey I just installed ubuntu a few hours ago and keep it on freezing on me randomly. 1st when I tried to play a movie using gxine. 2nd when I was shutting down. 3rd when I was trying to save a .mp3 to my computer. Is this normal or any ideas? | 06:20 |
| Jalathan | Renate: just choose the one that ends with one number lower that the highest | 06:20 |

| eido | genii: i wanted to redirect the output into a clean file with the users but i guess i will have to cut and paste | 06:22 |
| Jalathan | Renate: the highest on would likely end in -18, the one that's numbered -17 would be the one that i'm thinking for test | 06:22 |

| afabian | simplechat: Yes, you'd want to look toward the end, where errors are likely to occur... possibly grep through it for (WW) warnings, (EE) errors, .. it tags lines, because there's a lot of information. | 06:38 |
| Wolvenhaven | hmm | 06:38 |
| Wolvenhaven | when does the error occur during instalation? | 06:38 |
| dasukips | 25% | 06:38 |
| Wolvenhaven | installation* | 06:38 |
| simplechat | (WW) fglrx(0): could not detect X server version (query_status=-3) ? | 06:39 |
| dasukips | My computer doesnt have an in built CD-ROM so it's connected over USB, if that helps. | 06:39 |
| simplechat | then theres a whole lot of (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x72 (with the last number changing) | 06:39 |
| dasukips | I'm thinking of trying a live usb install, IDK if that will workj though. | 06:39 |
| simplechat | meh | 06:39 |
| TOOL | do you have more than one partion on your hard drive other than what your trying to install | 06:39 |
| simplechat | yeah | 06:40 |
| Wolvenhaven | hmm, ive never tried with usb so i dont know, all my laptops have basestations | 06:40 |
| afabian | simplechat: Old logs are kept around for a while. X does a lot of stuff and warnings are pretty routine. You should probably look for a "good" run with a date from before the update, and compare it with a run from after the update, and see if there were any changes. | 06:41 |
| simplechat | afabian i'm not sure what that is | 06:41 |
| simplechat | its been randomly rebooting for quite awhile | 06:41 |
| dasukips | . /home on a SDHC card, 3.7GB '/' on inbuilt flash, with 270mb swap. | 06:41 |
| simplechat | TOOL: i have a / and a /home | 06:41 |
| simplechat | and a second / (this /) | 06:41 |
| oxeimon | Hi, is it true that a fat32 file system cannot hold files greater than 4gb in size? | 06:42 |
| simplechat | which is what i'm booting from now | 06:42 |
| simplechat | oxeimon, yes | 06:42 |
| Wolvenhaven | yes | 06:42 |
| afabian | simplechat: Well, you said it's not rebooting, just that the screen is blanking. Reboot is pretty different than X crashing. | 06:42 |
| Wolvenhaven | is it failing during the partitioning or the isntallation itself? | 06:42 |
| dasukips | But the thing is... | 06:42 |
| dasukips | It works well on gutsy | 06:42 |
| dasukips | fails with hardy | 06:42 |
| simplechat | afabian, sorry, i'm used to calling them reboots because i have to. unresponcive to keyboard and mouse | 06:42 |

| dasukips | I tried linux mint, also works | 06:42 |

| ubuntuRULES | Alan_M. I get a pop up and then it closes | 07:11 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: did you assign all of the needed associations through the plugin? | 07:11 |
| simplechat | afabian, dpkg -l has no newlines | 07:11 |
| SurenS | bazhang, but there are other issues as well. when i recovered vista, my second (DATA) partition was 'corrupt and unreadable'. So i backed up files and formatted it. but now gparted does not show my partitions, only fdisk does | 07:11 |
| sauvin | Oh. Yea, that might even work. I found the following file: /var/lib/dpkg/status | 07:11 |
| bazhang | ubuntuRULES, post a screenshot | 07:11 |

| bazhang | SurenS, there seems to be no other bootable partition there | 07:14 |
| simplechat | i need to head off | 07:14 |
| dasukips | Another noob question, how would I find the name of my SD card, eg default USB name is "/media/disk-1" etc. | 07:14 |
| simplechat | cyas | 07:14 |
| JoshGr | prakriti: i will try that thank you very much | 07:14 |

| afabian | simplechat: That's strange. I've never seen it lack newlines. Good luck. | 07:14 |
| SurenS | right, so the ubuntu partition needs to be made bootable. do you know how i can do this? | 07:14 |
| Dasmoover | hello, can anyone help me with wine? i seemed to gave uninstalled it and when i reinstall it .wine folder isnt created and my settings are still there. | 07:15 |
| simplechat | be back sometime | 07:15 |
| bazhang | SurenS, it does not even seem to exist anymore | 07:15 |
| SurenS | bazhang, here is an annotated paste | 07:16 |
| SurenS | http://paste.ubuntu.com/18969/ | 07:16 |
| SurenS | /dev/sda5 is my ubuntu partition | 07:17 |
| dasukips | So how would I find the device name of the SD? | 07:17 |
| SurenS | bazhang, using the livecd, i can still access /dev/sda2, sda3 and sda5, and the files contained in each of them | 07:17 |
| bazhang | SurenS, what does creating a new user do. | 07:18 |
| AlexW | if i just installed a new pci wireless card what do i have todo? | 07:18 |
| SurenS | so everything is still there, but gparted refuses to accept this, and i can no longer boot to ubuntu as easybcd menu does not work | 07:18 |
| AlexW | i was told to update my kernel :/ | 07:18 |
| SurenS | bazhang, what do you mean? creating a new user in ubuntu? im currently using the livecd | 07:18 |
| === hotpocket is now known as rogerdpenguin | ||
| bullgard4 | After a restart bash history in a GNOME terminal prints some entries in the format cd "`echo -e '\0057home\0057detlef\0057gnome\0057gnome\0055volume\0055manager\0055\0062\0056\0062\0062\0056\0061'`" instead of the format 'cd /home/detlef/gnome/gnome-volume-manager-2.22.1'. Is this a bug or a feature? | 07:18 |
| SurenS | bazhang, and do i have to fix this error? "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." | 07:19 |
| bazhang | SurenS, that is serious if right | 07:19 |
| JoshGr | prakriti: the only thing in /var/log/messages around that type is Jun 9 16:24:43 josh-laptop -- MARK -- (actually a few of those) | 07:19 |
| JoshGr | around that time* | 07:19 |
| SurenS | bazhang, are you referring to the cylinder boundary issue? | 07:20 |
| SurenS | and if so, how can i fix that? any easy method? | 07:20 |
| bazhang | SurenS, yes | 07:20 |
| dasukips | What do I type in terminal to find the mount points and device names? | 07:20 |
| bullgard4 | dasukips: mount | 07:20 |
| SurenS | bazhang, ok, well i have backed up /dev/sda(3 and 5). i can delete any partitions other than /dev/sda1 and 2 | 07:21 |
| Dasmoover | Dasukips? | 07:21 |
| Dasmoover | wow, memes. | 07:21 |
| dasukips | lol | 07:21 |
| SurenS | bazhang, so is it fixable without losing data on my /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 partitions? | 07:21 |
| JoshGr | i have never been unable to kill a process before this is a new experience | 07:22 |
| bazhang | SurenS, the partition boundary is on first partition though right? | 07:22 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: sorry, xserver just crashed | 07:22 |
| B_166-ER-X | np | 07:22 |
| SurenS | bazhang, sorry, im not sure what that means? :S | 07:22 |
| frank_b | what's the linux equivalent of a the "tracert" windows command to see which servers does a connection to a site passes through? | 07:22 |
| SurenS | what is the partition boundary? | 07:22 |
| bazhang | SurenS, sorry the cylinder boundary | 07:23 |
| SurenS | bazhang, the cylinder boundary (i think) exists between partition 1 and 2, yes. | 07:23 |
| feld | when you report a bug on launchpad does it show up right away? i wonder if my bug didn't get reported correctly..... | 07:23 |
| anto | frank23, trace | 07:23 |
| lut4rp | feld, yes it does | 07:23 |
| SurenS | bazhang, the notification appears between /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, yes | 07:24 |
| frank_b | anto, I suppose that was for me, thanks | 07:24 |
| bazhang | SurenS, what is on partition 2 | 07:24 |
| feld | lut4rp: ok. well i'll report again. I also fixed the bug. YAY. | 07:24 |
| SurenS | vista | 07:24 |
| SurenS | bazhang, vista | 07:24 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: ok... | 07:24 |
| frank_b | "command not found" | 07:25 |
| bazhang | SurenS, I dont know enough about how vista 'repairs' things to give advice on that; since you have backed up all your linux stuff at least that is safe. | 07:25 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: open up nautilus | 07:25 |
| B_166-ER-X | done | 07:25 |

| Duduman | Can Someone please help me_ | 07:26 |
| SurenS | bazhang, understood. i cannot lose data from partition 1 or 2: partition 1 is my recovery partition... without that i can never recover vista again. partition 2 hold vista which can be deleted given partition 1 is still there, but the thing is, i backed up some data from partition 3 onto partition 2, and i can't afford to lose that data | 07:26 |
| Jalathan | sauvin: smoother animations, at least a little bling | 07:26 |
| teckfatt | bazhang: how about software like rtorrent | 07:26 |

| bazhang | teckfatt, rtorrent? you may want to consider screen for that | 07:27 |
| Flannel | Duduman: Alright, throw your windows CD back in, and fixmbr | 07:27 |
| microwaver | question : how to set ubuntu booting up with num lock enabled ? | 07:27 |

| Flannel | Duduman: You didn't fixmbr properly then | 07:28 |
| Duduman | can I do this from Ubuntu | 07:28 |
| Azure1234 | Hello? | 07:28 |
| connor | hi | 07:28 |
| bazhang | SurenS, do you have some medium to back up onto like a usb stick or other? may want to save that if the worst occurs | 07:28 |
| B_166-ER-X | jalathan, yea, ok sry, the file was not in the profile, , jsut directly in /firefox , ready now | 07:28 |
| Chrasange | hey, i have HardyHeron disk for 64bit and it wont boot in ANY desktop, ideas? | 07:28 |
| connor | hmm | 07:28 |
| Flannel | Duduman: No, because the windows disc is the only thing (that I know of) that'll do it for you | 07:28 |
| connor | are you setting your bios to boot from the cd drive? | 07:28 |
| * sauvin doesn't find "advanced desktop effects" | 07:29 | |
| Chrasange | connor, it installed fine but when i log in it flickers then goes BACK to the log in screen | 07:29 |
| Duduman | after throwing it in? | 07:29 |
| connor | hmm | 07:29 |
| Flannel | Duduman: The problem isn't that Linux can't do it, but that Linux doesn' have the information to do it | 07:29 |
| connor | try reinstalling | 07:29 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: sorry, forgot about the differences... ok... | 07:29 |
| SurenS | bazhang, i do have a usb stick, but the backup data is in the area of about 35GB, so my usb won't fit | 07:29 |
| Flannel | d | 07:29 |
| connor | or try using wubi | 07:29 |

| connor | k | 07:30 |
| Flannel | Duduman: no, you have to boot to the CD. and then... go to the recovery console and "fixmbr" | 07:30 |
| Duduman | ok thanks a lot | 07:30 |
| connor | azure1234: its probably your computer, i downloaded the image today and it worked fine | 07:30 |
| sauvin | pjotr, it's already installed. | 07:30 |
| Azure1234 | ok, Connor, which mirror did you download it from? | 07:30 |

| Chrasange | nekostar, it's an integrated ATI Xpress200 | 07:36 |
| SurenS | bazhang, any ideas? | 07:36 |
| Kartagis | how do i upgrade specific packages? | 07:36 |
| Chrasange | I tried in "safe graphics" but even then I can't get online | 07:36 |
| dasukips | Oh...what does !tab do? | 07:36 |
| nekostar | Chrasange ok so you can boot up and go into the desktop just fine but you cant get into a console [tty] correct? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | SurenS, what initially caused this? | 07:36 |
| alecs | bye! i have to go to work now | 07:36 |

| smrz | I am trying to use handbrake for the first time, and using the command: "handbrake -Z Normal -i /media/cdrom0/ -o video" however, this only rips the first title, does anyone know how to get it to rip all of hte titles? | 07:37 |
| Chrasange | nekostar, no I can't get into any desktop except terminal or i can boot in "safe Graphics" off the CD | 07:37 |
| SurenS | bazhang, vista did not boot for a while, then i recovered it using the recovery partition, but that somehow screwed up the other partitions | 07:37 |
| nekostar | oh | 07:37 |
| nekostar | so you can get in the tty's but you cannot get into the gui then. | 07:37 |
| SurenS | bazhang, btw atm i am running testdisk and trying to recover any lost partitions that might be out there :S | 07:37 |
| zala | allow | 07:37 |
| nekostar | were you ever able to? | 07:37 |
| Chrasange | nekostar....i is a SUPER noob | 07:37 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | Anyone out there successfully install a logitech procam 5000 on ubuntu? | 07:37 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | :[ | 07:37 |
| nekostar | Chrasange no big deal we got cha covered | 07:38 |
| bazhang | SurenS, my first bit of advice is to ask in the windows channel about that partitioning issue; we can deal with the backing up of ubuntu stuff after that | 07:38 |
| Chrasange | ah | 07:38 |
| nekostar | UbuntuNoob760 did you check google? | 07:38 |
| simi | hi, i want to connect to a motorola phone with a usb cable , i set the phone to be seen as a removable disk but nothing happens in my kubuntu hardy when i lug it in. I tested in xp and it works so the phone is corect configured, | 07:38 |

| UbuntuNoob760 | o really? | 07:39 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | hm.. | 07:39 |

| bazhang | SurenS, they just told you to reinstall? | 07:39 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | thnx nekostar | 07:39 |
| alkem258 | I'm trying to boot an xp pro cd to re-install windows, however GRUB keeps ignoring me when I hit, mash, tap, or type any key to continue booting the cd. This is only with windows cds I might add, knoppix and the ubuntu one work fine. | 07:39 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | ill have a look | 07:39 |
| nekostar | and that link didnt work Chrasange lol | 07:39 |
| B_166-ER-X | hm | 07:40 |
| Chrasange | I know | 07:40 |
| Chrasange | XD | 07:40 |
| nekostar | ok we need to get your desktop working here... | 07:40 |
| nekostar | are you on that computer now? | 07:40 |
| Chrasange | yes yes | 07:40 |
| alkem258 | anyone? | 07:40 |
| Chrasange | yeah, I'll be back in a sec, i'm gonna switch pc's | 07:40 |
| bazhang | alkem258, what does this have to with ubuntu | 07:40 |
| nekostar | Chrasange | 07:40 |

| nekostar | install irssi in the computer in question | 07:40 |
| nekostar | you have 6 consoles | 07:40 |
| SurenS | bazhang, yep, to recover using the asus recovery partition. and that worked fine. vista was back to the state it was in when i got the laptop. but my second (data) partition was unreadable by windows (but readable by the ubuntu livecd), and reinstalling easybcd refuses to allow me to boot ubuntu :( | 07:40 |
| nekostar | so you can run that in one and do stuff in the others ;) | 07:40 |
| nekostar | when you run it format is as follows: irssi <enter> | 07:41 |
| alkem258 | bazhang: grub won't let me boot. I want to get rid of ubunt, or let it run xp. | 07:41 |
| bazhang | SurenS, easybcd being a windows program? | 07:41 |
| nekostar | it loads//// /server irc.freenode.net | 07:41 |
| nekostar | when u connect just /join #ubuntu | 07:41 |
| bazhang | alkem258, then delete the partition | 07:41 |
| microwaver | question : how to set ubuntu booting up with num lock enabled ? | 07:41 |
| alkem258 | bazang: how, it won't let me boot the xp pro cd to do that | 07:41 |
| nekostar | alkem258 put in windows disk, go to recovery, type fixboot | 07:41 |
| SurenS | bazhang, yes, it modified the vista bootloader and adds an entry that, when selected, runs grub from the (hd0,4) partition and then grub boots me into ubuntu | 07:41 |
| nekostar | should put the windows boot back in | 07:42 |
| SurenS | but that no longer works :| | 07:42 |
| nekostar | assuming you didnt move or wipe out windows | 07:42 |
| nekostar | vista?? | 07:42 |
| rabelais | alkem258, just change the boot order in your bios | 07:42 |
| alkem258 | nekostar: it won't boot the xp pro cd full stop | 07:42 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | on to my next question.... | 07:42 |
| B_166-ER-X | jalathan, find something ? | 07:42 |
| nekostar | alkem258 ouch | 07:42 |
| nekostar | sata cdrom drive? | 07:42 |
| alkem258 | rabelais: it's set so that alll three boot options are cd rom! | 07:42 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | has anyone successfully ran Steam on ubuntu? i know you have to use wine | 07:42 |
| Kartagis | is glib-2. the same as glibc? | 07:42 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: i'm attempting to get online with the livecd, almost there | 07:42 |
| bazhang | SurenS, as that is a windows app (no idea bout that) and you chose to use it over grub<---my guess is that is the source of the problems. best prepare for the worst imo | 07:42 |
| Jalathan | sorry for the wait | 07:43 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | im able to install steam but it freezes when i try to run it | 07:43 |
| rabelais | alkem258, unplug your hard drive and see if the cd will boot | 07:43 |
| B_166-ER-X | okk | 07:43 |
| alkem258 | I'm sure it will. but then there's no hdd to install to | 07:43 |
| SurenS | bazhang, i also get this message HPFS - NTFS 1019 251 1 9511 14 39 136409088 [VistaOS] | 07:43 |
| SurenS | Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 138 (NTFS) != 255 (HD) | 07:43 |

| Chrasange | nekostar, I pm'd you | 07:43 |
| alkem258 | bazahng as it is ubuntu's GRUB that is preventing me from doing anything, then i figure this is a ubuntu question | 07:44 |
| bazhang | SurenS, sorry but this seems to be a vista issue; will help with ubuntu stuff when you get that sorted. | 07:44 |
| UbuntuNoob760 | Anyone know much about mac4lin conversion? | 07:44 |
| Kartagis | what's the package name if i want to install glib? | 07:44 |
| SurenS | bazhang, i understand about the issue being with easybcd, i.e. that is what is not leting me boot into ubuntu. but my main issue is with the partitions. that is, there appears to be wrong number of cylinders and the like, which i only know how to fix from ubuntu, not vista. | 07:44 |
| SurenS | and also, can grub boot into vista? | 07:44 |
| rabelais | SurenS, yes | 07:45 |
| SurenS | thanks rabelais | 07:45 |
| alkem258 | ... anyone? | 07:45 |
| rabelais | alkem258, did you unplug the hard drive like I suggested? | 07:45 |
| SurenS | so how can i install/reinstall grub? | 07:46 |
| Flannel | !grub | SurenS | 07:46 |
| ubottu | SurenS: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:46 |
| Flannel | SurenS: first link | 07:46 |
| alkem258 | I fail to see what that'll achieve, except show that ubuntu is on my hdd | 07:46 |
| nekostar | Chrasange first | 07:46 |

| kidbuntu | i have 2 sata harddisk | 07:51 |
| rabelais | microwaver, google: ubuntu numlock | 07:51 |

| * Jalathan feels stupid | 07:51 | |
| Jalathan | i was using the 7.04 livecd... <.<;; | 07:51 |

| connor | like fluxbox? | 07:54 |
| gnnarin | ehi people go here and pledge everybody... for firefox.... http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord | 07:54 |
| nekostar | its like ubuntuetc but with flux yeh | 07:54 |

| microwaver | nekostar, rabelais what's the difference between the main distribution adn fluxbuntu? | 07:56 |
| nekostar | first | 07:56 |
| nekostar | its not offically supported.. not that that means anything | 07:56 |
| rabelais | microwaver, probably that it uses fluxbox instead of gnome? | 07:56 |
| nekostar | its just supposed to be lighter than even xfce [xubuntu] | 07:56 |
| nekostar | it does use fluxbox............ | 07:57 |
| connor | i get an error when installing a firefox addon | 07:57 |
| nekostar | and ive used it its decent | 07:57 |
| alkem258 | ok, back. Yes it boots with no harddrive, but that doesn't help me when i want to install it to a harddrive | 07:57 |
| rabelais | I love fluxbox, I use it on my workstation | 07:57 |
| alkem258 | rabelais: next idea? | 07:57 |
| rabelais | alkem258, did it boot? | 07:57 |
| * Jalathan prefers blackbox, even though it's depricated | 07:57 | |
| kidbuntu | how do i edit my source.list | 07:58 |
| kidbuntu | whats the path | 07:58 |
| alkem258 | rabelais: Yup | 07:58 |
| alkem258 | rabelais: then told me there was no harddrive, which I kinda knew | 07:58 |
| rabelais | alkem258, plug your hard drive back in, and set only the cd drive as a boot device, and turn off the option to "boot any additional devices" | 07:58 |
| microwaver | rabelais, stop being so obviously obvious and smart :) | 07:58 |

| rabelais | chill guys...you don't know that this is necessarily a windows problem...maybe something funky is going on with grub | 08:00 |
| connor | and 2 wont work either | 08:00 |
| connor | 3 wont work with the nightly tester tools for my addons =/ | 08:01 |
| bazhang | rabelais, that was a polite suggestion; please heed it. | 08:01 |

| Wolvenhaven | is anyone else having a problem getting laptops to connect to wireless networks if they check the "show password" box? | 08:02 |
| justme | Wolvenhaven, which wireless card you use? | 08:02 |
| kidbuntu | bazhang: and what should you recommend.. the last time i used ubuntu was back at 7.04 | 08:02 |
| justme | i got an intel pro wireless 3945 and it works fine | 08:03 |
| bazhang | kidbuntu, this is hardy? | 08:03 |
| justme | evenn with show password | 08:03 |
| justme | even* | 08:03 |
| rabelais | simi, have you been plugging it and unplugging it from the computer a lot? | 08:03 |
| Wolvenhaven | justme: i can connect if i type the password in when it shows asterix, but if i click "show password" it just tries to connect and then times out | 08:03 |
| kidbuntu | bazhang: what about hardy? | 08:03 |
| [chr0n0s] | hi, where do i display the temperature of the cpu's from /proc/ ? | 08:03 |
| justme | Wolvenhaven, strang | 08:03 |
| justme | e | 08:03 |
| rabelais | simi, or has it just been plugged in constantly? | 08:03 |
| bazhang | kidbuntu, what version of ubuntu you on now | 08:03 |
| Wolvenhaven | yea, thats what i was thinking, im running 64bit 8.04-18 | 08:04 |
| justme | i use 32 bit | 08:04 |
| justme | ^^ | 08:04 |
| rabelais | simi, and by a lot, I mean like....20/30 times | 08:04 |
| kidbuntu | bazhang: hardy i supposed. 8.04. what is hardy meant for | 08:04 |
| Wolvenhaven | for some reason 64bit has less bugs on the tx2000z tablet | 08:04 |
| bazhang | kidbuntu, get audacious as xmms no longer is there | 08:04 |
| kidbuntu | bazhang.. i'll take your advice.. uhmm how about amarok | 08:05 |
| justme | Wolvenhaven, well as long as it works with "show password" not checked it is fine, isn't it ? | 08:05 |
| simi | rabelais: only a few times in kubuntu, i tried moto4lin to connect to it | 08:05 |

| Kartagis | when I start the Terminal Server Client, VNC is grayed out. how do I install packages for it? | 08:05 |
| rabelais | simi, there's a usb fault problem with the device | 08:05 |
| Wolvenhaven | well it connected to the router, but its not actually getting anything | 08:05 |
| rabelais | simi, you're getting a million I/O errors on the device | 08:05 |
| simi | rabelais: should i try again in XP? | 08:06 |
| Jalathan | Kartagis: do you have the package vnc-common installed? | 08:06 |
| rabelais | simi, for some reason, it does not want to play nice with the linux usb mass storage module | 08:06 |
| rabelais | simi, I would recommend yes...I'd be curious to know if windows can make it work... | 08:07 |
| rabelais | simi, because as it appears here, it looks somewhat broken | 08:07 |
| Wolvenhaven | justme: its not just that apparently, i cant get outside connections, :( | 08:07 |

| Manacim | petrucci | 08:15 |
| Manacim | try guessing keywords | 08:15 |
| Manacim | like | 08:15 |
| Ja1athan | n't showing even mplayer | 08:15 |
| Manacim | hardware | 08:15 |
| FloodBot1 | Manacim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:15 |
| Manacim | or computer | 08:15 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, yes, I have bluez utils. | 08:15 |
| Petrucci | manacim i joined hardware | 08:15 |
| Insurrecto | any1 knows everytime i burn linux it gives me md5 hash checking error and wont read cd? | 08:15 |
| Wolvenhaven | justme: i found the problem, it installed two wireless drivers and is trying to use both of them, im going to turn one off and reboot the laptop and try that | 08:16 |
| bullgard4 | garrett__: I guess you will need another character encoding scheme. May be you need UTF-8. | 08:16 |
| kajo_ | Sorry I took so long, aptitude keeps trying to downgrade something, and it finally did on accident, which honestly has me a bit pissed (stray keystroke on an unwanted warning) | 08:16 |
| justme | Wolvenhaven, ^^ | 08:16 |
| Manacim | no help? | 08:16 |
| Ja1athan | Insurrecto: you might want to check the iso itself | 08:16 |
| Insurrecto | how can i know the correct md5? | 08:16 |
| rabelais | kajo_, do this: "updatedb" and then "locate BCM2033" | 08:16 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: it's popping up in some tcl (tcl8.5, which supports unicode..) so i'm just confused as to where it's coming from. | 08:17 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: but i'm having a rough time figuring that bit out :P | 08:17 |
| Ja1athan | B_166-ER-X: i forgot to check the multiverse, sry | 08:17 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, the second line does nothing. | 08:17 |
| kajo_ | Just brings me a new prompt. | 08:17 |
| rabelais | kajo_, apologies...you need to do these all in one prompt | 08:18 |
| === _Danners is now known as Danners | ||
| rabelais | kajo_, you have to wait until the first one is done | 08:18 |
| === max221 is now known as max` | ||
| rabelais | kajo_, and you have to do the first one with sudo: sudo updatedb | 08:18 |
| === mneptok_ is now known as mneptok | ||
| kajo_ | kajo@littleboy:~/Pictures$ sudo updatedb locate BCM2033 | 08:18 |
| kajo_ | updatedb: unexpected operand on command line | 08:18 |
| garrett__ | er--there we go--0x8D.. which is dingbats? wtf. :| | 08:19 |
| kajo_ | @ rabelais | 08:19 |
| Ja1athan | Insurrecto: here are the hashes :http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/MD5SUMS | 08:19 |
| Ja1athan | B_166-ER-X: am installing it | 08:19 |
| bullgard4 | garrett__: I believe that the program (tcl?) which produced the string is okay but your program which reads it does display it wrongly due to a wrong decoding scheme. | 08:19 |
| Ja1athan | Insurrecto: one min here for the howto | 08:19 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: good point. i'll try a different viewer. | 08:20 |
| rabelais | kajo_, they are two commands | 08:20 |
| rabelais | kajo_, sudo updatedb | 08:20 |
| Ja1athan | Insurrecto: wait, got the wrong one | 08:20 |
| kajo_ | then how do I run them on one line?? | 08:20 |
| rabelais | kajo_, and when that is done, do locate BCM2033 | 08:20 |
| rabelais | kajo_, you don't run them on one line | 08:20 |
| rabelais | kajo_, or, if you insist on running them in one line, you can put a semicolon in between updatedb and locate | 08:20 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, isn't that what you just told me to do? I ran them seperately before, and the second one did nothing... | 08:20 |
| simi | rabelais: in XP my phone works | 08:21 |
| kajo_ | you said all in one prompt, to me that means all in one line. I did them all in the same window, if that's what you mean. I ran one, and then the other. | 08:21 |
| rabelais | kajo_, apologies, I must have misunderstood, did updatedb complete before you ran locate? | 08:21 |
| kane77 | why there are so many updates lately? | 08:21 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, yes. | 08:21 |
| B_166-ER-X | jalathan i REALLY have to go to sleep. sun is close... but i'll be back , i want to finish this ! | 08:21 |
| B_166-ER-X | thankx for all | 08:22 |
| rabelais | simi, are you plugging the phone directly into the computer? or through a usb hub or some sort? | 08:22 |
| rabelais | kajo_, ok, then you are missing the BCM firmware for that device | 08:22 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: sorry, i'm heading off to bed soon myself | 08:22 |
| simi | rabelais: directly, in the usb port | 08:22 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, I have never heard of "BCM", don't know what you mean. Is that easily remedied? Can I just get that with aptitude? | 08:22 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: do you have a forum id? | 08:22 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: newp. using a unicode-supported client, but at least now I get "?" | 08:23 |
| Jalathan | you can pm it | 08:23 |
| Jck_true | How do i update the locate database? | 08:23 |
| rabelais | kajo_, I believe you can get them from the bluez website...BCM is broadcom, you need firmware files to get this to work | 08:23 |
| rabelais | simi, are there any other usb ports you can try putting them into? | 08:23 |
| simi | rabelais: can be manualy be mounted? i belive that the fash card has bad sectors | 08:23 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, what do I need firmware files for? Shouldn't the firmware already be on the bluetooth dongle itself? | 08:23 |
| legend2440 | Jck_true: sudo updatedb | 08:24 |
| rabelais | simi, if it is detected by your system...it can be, at the moment it appears that it cannot be mounted because linux is not detecting the device properly | 08:24 |
| Jck_true | legend2440: Need to write that down... Can't remember it | 08:24 |
| rabelais | kajo_, broadcom bluetooth devices require firmware files to be loaded at every use | 08:25 |
| simi | rabelais: ausb shows this:Bus 002 Device 002: ID 22b8:4810 Motorola PCS Triplet GSM Phone (storage) | 08:25 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, are you sure my device is a broadcom device? I don't understand exactly what the problem is, or how this architecture works. | 08:25 |
| bullgard4 | garrett__: My GNOME terminal in the past displayed a similar output as yours when my GNOME terminal was set to wrong character decoding scheme instead of the correct UTF-8 decoding scheme. | 08:26 |
| === ari_stre1s is now known as ari_stress | ||
| rabelais | simi, yes...this is true, but the dmesg output shows that the device is not being detected as a usb mass storage device properly, I do not know why that is happening | 08:26 |
| rabelais | kajo_, you said you had a BCM2033 bluetooth device, if that is the case, then it is a broadcom device | 08:27 |
| haffe | Hi. Could somebody help me with this problem? I'm trying to get RTC alarm to work. However, It doesn't seem like /sys/class/rtc exists. Is xubuntu 8.04 compiled without support for realtime clock? | 08:27 |
| rabelais | kajo_, download http://bluez.sf.net/download/bluez-firmware-1.2.tar.gz | 08:27 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, ah. I did not understand my own output, I was just trying various troubleshooting things without knowing what I was doing. | 08:27 |
| simi | rabelais: if the memory card has bad sectors can explain this? | 08:27 |
| rabelais | kajo_, and extract the files (ending with .hex .bin, etc) into the /lib/firmware directory | 08:27 |
| kajo_ | what is the command to download a web adress? | 08:27 |
| rabelais | kajo, wget | 08:28 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, thanks | 08:28 |
| rabelais | simi, no, bad sectors wouldn't cause this to break at the hardware level | 08:28 |
| speedRS | Hi. I'm currently having difficulties setting up rDNS using bind9 on ubuntu 8.04. I can post required zone files etc on request. | 08:28 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: gnometerm's set to utf-8 :\ | 08:28 |
| rabelais | simi, I have had problems like this before, but they are usually a result of a bad usb hub sitting in between me and the computer, or a very poor card reader, or something like that | 08:29 |
| simi | rabelais: who made the program that connects to the device , maybe is a bug and i should tell them, in windows it works and XP is 7 years old | 08:29 |
| speedRS | "zone XXX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file /etc/bind/zones/rev.XXX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa failed: unexpected end of input" is the current error I am receiving. | 08:29 |
| rabelais | simi, it is possible that it just won't work in linux...there are some usb mass storage devices that aren't written to protocol properly and only run in windows | 08:30 |
| rabelais | simi, you can report it to the maintainers of the usb-uhci and usb mass storage modules...I don't know exactly where the problem lies among those two, I'd guess usb mass storage | 08:31 |
| bullgard4 | garrett__: I cannot help you specifically. My general advice would be to investigate if the programs interface with the correct encoding/decoding schemes. | 08:31 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, so all I had to do was extract the .bin & .hex to /lib/firmware, right? | 08:31 |
| simi | rabelais: no, some people succed to connect to this device using moto4lin, but it do not worked for me | 08:32 |
| simi | rabelais: thx | 08:32 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: just found this "It follows from this that bytes in UTF-8 encoding fall in distinct ranges:" "80..BF - non-initial bytes of multibyte code | 08:32 |
| garrett__ | " | 08:32 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: the questionmark in a diamond falls in that range | 08:32 |
| rabelais | simi, I would suggest you ask the moto4lin people, sometimes different distributions have weird problems with hotplug/loading modules etc.... | 08:32 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: so i think you're right; there's some weirdness going on in this tcl which is generating characters outside of utf-8 maybe | 08:33 |
| rabelais | simi, chances are it can actually work, but I don't know what the proper tweaks would be to make it work | 08:33 |
| rabelais | kajo_, yes, I believe so...I didn't look to see if there were any other files that needed to be there, but I think those are the only ones you need | 08:33 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, so now what? | 08:34 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: er--disregard. my font made that look like "fail" not "fall" :| *sheepishly goes back to screwing with is termtype* | 08:34 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: ok, i pastebin'ed the the basic version of the dat file (@ ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat): http://paste.ubuntu.com/18977/ | here's my current 3.x version: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18974/ | | 08:34 |
| JoshGr | my computer freezes semi-regularly and the only way I can get out of it is alt-sysreq-rseiub, because nothing else does anything at all, the cursor moves around but absolutely nothing can be clicked on, does anyone know what might be causing it? | 08:34 |
| garrett__ | bullgard4: thanks for your advice, though | 08:34 |
| bullgard4 | garrett__: So I wish you good luck to find another person more knowledgeable to help you in this specific respect. | 08:34 |
| rabelais | kajo_, it's a usb bluetooth device, yes? | 08:34 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, yes. | 08:35 |
| simi | rabelais: thx for your time | 08:35 |
| rabelais | kajo_, unplug and plug it back in, and cross your fingers | 08:35 |
| rabelais | simi, you're welcome, good luck | 08:35 |
| Jalathan | B_166-ER-X: i'd recommend making a copy of the original file before messing around with the updated version | 08:35 |

| kajo_ | rabelais, simply- I go to "Applications- Accessories- Bluetooth Sharing". | 08:43 |
| kajo_ | This starts an application that I assume makes it 'detectable', because it has no other gui that I can find. | 08:43 |
| kajo_ | And yet, | 08:43 |

| NullName | I have a completely messed up SAMBA installation. I can't get other windows boxes to successfully access my shared folders. SAMBA is running as a service, and the ports are correctly open through the firewall. The problem started when I messed with the shared folders user names. I then deleted the SAMBA configuration directory and files, and couldn't reinstall samba without an error. I recently had a new update, which added new configuration files. | 08:48 |
| rabelais | kajo_, last idea... sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop | 08:48 |
| soundray | Dark_Shadow: enter 'about:plugins' as the URL and copy and paste the page that's shown to http://paste.ubuntu.com please | 08:48 |
| Jalathan | NullName: did you purge the samba installation? | 08:48 |
| kajo_ | rabelais, did it- just stop it? What good is that? | 08:49 |
| NullName | Jalathan: No I Messed up and deleted instead | 08:49 |
| nickolaus | sherl0ck does this give me total root access in the gui or just in terminal? | 08:49 |
| rabelais | kajo_, sudo modprobe -r bcm203x | 08:49 |

| Jalathan | NullName: correct | 08:51 |
| NullName | Jalathan: Do you know the correct purge command? | 08:51 |
| ChrisC36 | if it installed, does that mean it successfully used the HD? or is it using a ram drive or something | 08:51 |

| sherl0ck | nickolaus: what editor is it open in | 08:51 |
| soundray | ChrisC36: it's using a RAM disk. Did you install the smartmontools package? | 08:52 |
| sherl0ck | or save elsewhere were u have permission and chmod later | 08:52 |
| ChrisC36 | soundray yes | 08:52 |

| sparky_ | I'm not sure what the x86_64 means :/ | 09:05 |
| eviltim | I'm currently downloading it again | 09:06 |
| eviltim | XD | 09:06 |
| nvc | eviltim; download it again | 09:06 |

| soundray | Dark_Shadow: when it's done, do a 'locate libflashplayer.so' and pastebin the output (if it's only one line, you can paste it here) | 09:06 |
| nvc | scrap that, download xubuntu instead of the regular one | 09:06 |

| Jalathan | sparky_: i386 = 32bit | x86_64 = 64bit | 09:07 |
| soundray | ChrisC36: that might have been enough to cause this trouble... | 09:07 |
| sparky_ | Ah ok, thank you | 09:07 |
| soundray | Dark_Shadow: nothing was supposed to happen. Now do the next step | 09:07 |
| Jalathan | sparky_: you need to download & install the 64bit version it seems like | 09:07 |

| ChrisC36 | how do i do that, just fsck | 09:26 |
| ChrisC36 | well i can try sending it back and say it doesnt work. | 09:27 |

| speedRS | Zeit|awy_: Tried changing it to suit these. It now doesn't seem to like 3h, saying it is not a real number. | 09:27 |
| ChrisC36 | soundray if I felt i could trust the big corp, i could tell them it was dropped - i dont know if that is the actual problem , but anyways | 09:28 |
| soundray | Dark_Shadow: does the Flash animation on this page work: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ | 09:28 |
| Dark_Shadow | soundray, no | 09:29 |
| ronin1234 | mdadm help anyone? do i just need to backup the config file and run assemble? | 09:29 |
| Dark_Shadow | it said click here to dl the plagin | 09:30 |
| soundray | Dark_Shadow: I get the same message for the shockwave player, but the flash animation below that should work. | 09:31 |
| Dark_Shadow | when i click it said no suitable plugins were found | 09:31 |
| ChrisC36 | well fsck /dev/sda1 is checking some stuff\ | 09:31 |
| ChrisC36 | there is sda1, 2, 5 | 09:31 |
| powertool08 | where does xmmms save playlists by default? | 09:31 |
| ChrisC36 | its fixing some things | 09:32 |
| Zeit|awy_ | speedRS: bind accepts several $TTL-formats - not sure about latest builds, but never had problems with it, see http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/apa/time.html | 09:33 |
| Dark_Shadow | soundray, the flash animation works but the shokwave no | 09:33 |
| soundray | powertool08: not sure, but you can find out by saving one under the name 'someuniquestring.m3u', and then running 'sudo updatedb ; locate someuniquetring.m3u' | 09:34 |
| xbj9000 | hi, I'm trying to create a shortcut in xfce taskbar, but it doesn't run the same as if I type it into terminal myself | 09:34 |
| anirudh0 | powertool08, nothing in .xmms? | 09:34 |
| soundray | Dark_Shadow: the Shockwave one isn't supposed to work. But your Flash is installed correctly. | 09:34 |
| xbj9000 | Dark_Shadow, are you a fan of the show? | 09:34 |
| powertool08 | soundray: when it asks for a name it also asks for a location, which has changed from default | 09:34 |
| Dark_Shadow | lol | 09:35 |
| Dark_Shadow | i want to play youtube vidz | 09:35 |
| sparky_ | Which package do I install so I can run Java in FireFox? | 09:35 |
| xbj9000 | I'm also working on youtube vids | 09:35 |
| powertool08 | anirudh0: thats where i looked first, so either the ones i had were deleted or it saves elsewhere, there is an xmms.m3u file there tho | 09:35 |
| ChrisC36 | can i install mythbuntu onto a usb external hd? | 09:35 |
| tech0007 | !java | sparky | 09:35 |
| ubottu | sparky: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 09:35 |
| ChrisC36 | i have a 160gb i dont really use | 09:35 |
| xbj9000 | I can do totem /tmp/Flash* to play whatever youtube video just loaded, in totem | 09:35 |
| soundray | powertool08: in that case, you could stop xmms, do a 'mv ~/.xmms ~/xmms-backup', restart xmms and follow the procedure above (starting from a clean slate config-wise) | 09:36 |
| xbj9000 | but when I make a shortcut button to that command, it says no such file | 09:36 |
| soundray | ChrisC36: yes, that's possible (if somewhat slower) | 09:36 |
| soundray | !install | ChrisC36 | 09:36 |
| ubottu | ChrisC36: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| BoltClock | soundray: well i havent used it long enough yet. anyway i wasnt allowed to leave my pc on overnight | 09:37 |
| gaminggeek | um Hi | 09:37 |
| powertool08 | soundray: anirudh0: thanks, i found them | 09:37 |
| soundray | BoltClock: but you haven't seen the problem since? | 09:37 |
| BoltClock | soundray: not yet. | 09:37 |
| BoltClock | hopefully never again | 09:38 |
| soundray | BoltClock: fingers crossed :) | 09:38 |
| BoltClock | soundray :) | 09:38 |
| gaminggeek | totem crashed and doesnt seem to be running but its is still run and using up most of my cpu and seems to be impervious to killall -9 totem what do I do? | 09:38 |
| gaminggeek | s/run/running | 09:38 |
| net | soundray : i use awn dock but can i place it in the top of the window | 09:39 |
| speedRS | Zeit|awy_: Still no luck. I have to head off but will have a further play later on. Thanks for the help. | 09:39 |
| soundray | net: any particular reason you're asking me? | 09:39 |
| tech0007 | gaminggeek: i sometimes find gnome system monitor better in killing processes | 09:39 |
| zafy | any particular problem with firefox crashing without a warning in hardy or is it just me ? | 09:40 |
| soundray | zafy: it's just you... See if it still happens when you start 'firefox -safe-mode' | 09:40 |
| gaminggeek | it says the status is Uninterruptible.... | 09:40 |
| net | soundry : nothing ...i thought u may knoe this | 09:41 |
| MrABC | anyone knows how to use multiple applications with sounds...example firefox(youtube) with totem player?? | 09:41 |
| zafy | soundray, okay, I use firebug if that helps, installed the ubuntu package | 09:41 |
| tech0007 | gaminggeek: try 'end' 'stop' or 'kill' | 09:41 |
| sparky_ | !java | 09:41 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 09:41 |
| xbj9000 | MrABC, be more specific? | 09:41 |
| soundray | gaminggeek: in this kind of situation I find a method useful which I learned back in my DOS days... | 09:41 |
| net | soundray : nothing ...i thought u may knoe this | 09:42 |
| MrABC | well let's say i listen to mp3s with totem media player and later on i want to listen to a track on youtube | 09:42 |
| soundray | gaminggeek: ...reboot (gasp!) | 09:42 |
| gaminggeek | heh | 09:42 |
| xbj9000 | MrABC, I just learned that Totem has a youtube plugin and you can browse youtube directly from totem | 09:42 |
| elinsurrecto | hello guys | 09:42 |
| anirudh0 | lol | 09:42 |
| MrABC | when i get to youtube i get no sound | 09:42 |
| xbj9000 | ah | 09:42 |
| anirudh0 | gaminggeek, look up GNU screen | 09:42 |
| MrABC | hasn't worked for me | 09:42 |
| elinsurrecto | any1 can guide me installing compizfusion? | 09:42 |
| BoltClock | soundray: actually you know what. i searched in my pidgin logs for this channel and saw that i first asked about wxWidgets back on 28 april. i didnt experience the problems at all even after that messed up filezilla install... my next suspect is wine :S | 09:42 |
| gaminggeek | GNU screen? | 09:42 |
| MrABC | but i will also like to be able to have multiple applications using the same sound card | 09:43 |
| xbj9000 | MrABC, your problem is related to Pulse Audio and/or ALSA | 09:43 |
| MrABC | like xp or any other linux distro | 09:43 |
| gaminggeek | whats that got todo with anything? | 09:43 |
| anirudh0 | gaminggeek, allows multiple virtual screwens over a console ..look up its man page..if one hangs the others still work | 09:43 |
| tech0007 | MrABC: did u try pulseaudio | 09:43 |
| BoltClock | soundray: but even if i dont run any wine apps at all i still experience the problem... so im still uncertain about this. even after removing wine i still experienced the problem though | 09:43 |
| MrABC | how to i get to do this | 09:43 |
| soundray | anirudh0: gaminggeek's problem is an un-kill-able process | 09:44 |
| nixar | in what package is the man page wait(2) ? | 09:44 |
| tech0007 | !pulseaudio | MrABC | 09:44 |
| ubottu | MrABC: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 09:44 |
| MrABC | i read a few guides but didn't work | 09:44 |
| anirudh0 | soundray, even with kill -9 | 09:44 |
| anirudh0 | ? | 09:44 |
| MrABC | i'll try this right now | 09:44 |
| gaminggeek | anirudh0: yes | 09:44 |
| anirudh0 | tech0007, manpages-dev ..i gues | 09:45 |
| nanothief | I'm having a problem where browsing the internet/downloading files causes high cpu usage for the browser and xorg. It happens with firefox, opera and konqueror. Anyone know what could cause this? (ubuntu hardy btw) | 09:45 |
| anirudh0 | gaminggeek, zombie? | 09:45 |
| tech0007 | anirudh0: huh? | 09:45 |
| nixar | anirudh0: thanks that seems to be it | 09:45 |
| gaminggeek | top says 0 zombies... | 09:45 |
| anirudh0 | tech0007, ? | 09:45 |
| tech0007 | gaminggeek: i know zombies are impossible to kill | 09:45 |
| nixar | anirudh0: , tech0007: he was talking to me, i think | 09:46 |
| gaminggeek | looks like it is a zombie | 09:46 |
| tech0007 | anirudh0: tech0007, manpages-dev ..i gues | 09:46 |
| darth | tech0007, not true, just aim for the head | 09:46 |
| anirudh0 | look in ps -A|grep <process> | 09:46 |
| gaminggeek | guess even a shotgun to the head doesnt work with linux zombies :( | 09:46 |
| * darth barges into conversation | 09:46 | |
| soundray | tech0007: unless you shoot them in the head | 09:46 |
| anirudh0 | darth, lol..too much gaming ;) | 09:46 |
| tech0007 | soundray: lol | 09:46 |
| darth | :) | 09:46 |
| darth | great minds think alike | 09:47 |
| nixar | soundray: or he should'v waited | 09:47 |
| anirudh0 | gaminggeek, if its a zombie, it should show up in ps | 09:47 |
| soundray | darth: mine's just always a little slower ;) | 09:47 |

| ChrisC36 | soundray hey this is interesting - after fdisk fixed sda1, i ran install again, and picked the already setup partitions (resize option). It got past the 5% and is now 56% done installing | 09:47 |
| Stupid^Kid | Other files 7340 | 09:47 |
| gaminggeek | wow its been running for 50h according to htob | 09:47 |
| Stupid^Kid | is That something wrong with my partion | 09:48 |
| Stupid^Kid | ? | 09:48 |
| soundray | ChrisC36: maybe you were lucky in that only a few sectors were damaged, and they've now been marked as bad, so they won't be used. | 09:48 |
| anirudh0 | when i use awn, and the compiz negate effect, the lower part (awn) turns white, messing up the point of the negative..any ideas? | 09:48 |

| NemosNemos | Hi everybody | 09:50 |

| _empemp_ | croxis: so i am good to go? | 09:51 |
| NemosNemos | Can a person from USA or UK contact me in private, please? It's urgent | 09:51 |

| sparky_ | I've installed sun-java6-jre via sudo apt-get, but it's still not working. Can anyone help? | 09:53 |
| soundray | _empemp_: 2.6.24-18-generic is the current binary Ubuntu kernel compiled from 2.6.24 source | 09:53 |
| tech0007 | _empemp_: see the changelog in packages.ubuntu.com | 09:53 |
| tech0007 | sparky_: go to http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 | 09:54 |
| _empemp_ | hmm, not sure i understand this.. but i should be fine to compile vmmon modules from the 2.6.24 to use on my 2.6.24-18? | 09:54 |
| soundray | sparky_: can you elaborate on 'not working'? | 09:54 |
| pjotr | sparky: sudo update-alternatives --config jav | 09:54 |

| ominostanco | bye | 09:55 |
| sparky_ | I'm told to make sure that Java is installed, even though I installed that package | 09:55 |
| soundray | sparky_: do a 'update-alternatives --list java' and see if the one that comes out on top is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java | 09:55 |
| sparky_ | Yup, it pops up | 09:56 |
| anthon1 | does anyone know a solution to my problem? | 09:56 |

| soundray | m1r: have you moved /boot around recently? | 09:58 |
| m1r | hi soundray , nothing has been moved , did regular upgrade only... | 09:58 |
| anirudh0 | sparky_, did you install the plugin or the jre? | 09:58 |
| soundray | sparky_: Java applets not working with the Sun JRE on 64bit system is a known problem. I don't know whether there is a solution yet | 09:58 |
| LimCore | hello | 09:59 |
| LimCore | ikonia: hi | 09:59 |
| soundray | m1r: 'sudo update-grub' should fix it if that step was just skipped for some reason | 09:59 |
| SaraSmith | how do i get out of root? | 10:00 |
| LimCore | why NTP fails to work in ubuntu? | 10:00 |

| soundray | m1r: before you reboot... | 10:00 |
| sparky_ | anirudh0, I haven't installed the plugin, I was told to just get the jre. Which package would be the plugin? | 10:00 |
| SaraSmith | soundray sudo -i | 10:00 |
| soundray | SaraSmith: 'exit' | 10:00 |
| soundray | m1r: check whether your /boot/grub/menu.lst now shows the current kernel on top of the list | 10:01 |
| Dark_Shadow | can i shipit an ubuntu muslim edition? | 10:01 |
| anirudh0 | sparky_: sun-java6-plugin | 10:01 |

| werther | is firefox 3 final version just released for Ubuntu? | 10:02 |
| tech0007 | werther: nope, its on rc1 | 10:02 |
| soundray | AlexW_: you don't have to compile a new kernel just to make your system aware of a new card ( anirudh0, what were you thinking?) | 10:03 |
| ronin1234 | anyone able to help with mdadm? | 10:03 |
| rastakid | hi all | 10:03 |
| rastakid | Eh... is Firefox 3.0 released? | 10:03 |
| soundray | werther: no, it's not yet been released at all | 10:03 |
| rastakid | I just pulled it in from the apt sources | 10:03 |
| ronin1234 | probablt rc2 | 10:03 |
| tech0007 | !firefox | 10:03 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 10:03 |
| rastakid | it doesn't say so in the credits | 10:03 |
| m1r | soundray: menu.lst still have -17 on top of list | 10:03 |
| AlexW_ | Soundray, how so? | 10:04 |
| werther | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008060309 Firefox/3.0 | 10:04 |
| axelpaxel | Hi, I'm trying to delete a folder which i do not have access to. How do I delete that folder? Sudo nautilus won't lett me do it | 10:04 |
| soundray | AlexW_: give me a minute, I just want to try and solve m1r's weird problem... | 10:04 |
| werther | i just updated my ubuntu system, and firefox 3 is on the list | 10:04 |
| rastakid | *ding ding ding* :) | 10:05 |
| tech0007 | axelpaxel: sudo rm -rf (folder).............BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS | 10:05 |
| soundray | m1r: do you have a separate /boot partition? | 10:05 |
| anirudh0 | axelpaxel: sudo rm -r <folder> | 10:05 |
| rastakid | that's what I mean | 10:05 |
| rastakid | strange huh? | 10:05 |
| m1r | soundray: no | 10:05 |
| werther | then when i open firefox again, check "about" it just says Firefox 3, | 10:05 |
| anirudh0 | axelpaxel: BE VERY CAREFUL..DONT PUT A . AFTER THE COMMAND | 10:05 |
| axelpaxel | tech0007: I'll probably forget the command in 30 secs, so it's quite safe :D | 10:05 |
| werther | doesn't have rc2 or something | 10:05 |
| m1r | soundray: root (hd1,0) | 10:06 |
| rastakid | could some one else confirm this? werther and me both have Firefox 3.0 installed | 10:06 |
| tech0007 | werther: 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 | 10:06 |
| soundray | m1r: sudo update-grub didn't report any errors? | 10:06 |
| rastakid | it broke my firebug :( | 10:06 |
| m1r | soundray: let me recheck | 10:06 |
| LimCore | why ubuntu fails so hard to provide basic things like NTP time synchronization? | 10:06 |
| anirudh0 | tech0007: what does the nobinonly indicate? | 10:07 |
| rastakid | from apt-cache: firefox-3.0 - safe and easy web browser from Mozilla | 10:07 |
| soundray | LimCore: what a loaded question. Perhaps you just can't configure it properly | 10:07 |
| m1r | soundray: sent u update-grub on PM | 10:07 |
| MrABC | the sound wiki didn't work and now can't get any sound from firefox to work!! | 10:07 |
| m1r | soundray: seems all ok to me | 10:07 |
| tech0007 | anirudh0: its a metapackage that will point to the latest ff in ubuntu...just reading haha | 10:07 |
| clarezoe | anyone uses podnova? a podcast client, I've downloaded it from it's website, but I have not clue how to run it http://www.podnova.com | 10:07 |
| anirudh0 | tech0007: thats granparadiso..i meant the nobinonly in the deb name | 10:08 |
| LimCore | soundray: well if I start ntp then I would expect my time to be synchronized... how to cionfigure it then | 10:08 |
| axelpaxel | wuick question: is there any "log-feature" in xchat btw? | 10:08 |
| anthon1 | i need some help with aiff files whos tags arent shown when opened with rythmbox | 10:08 |
| anirudh0 | axelpaxel: yes | 10:08 |
| tech0007 | anirudh0: see 'dpkg -s firefox' | 10:08 |
| soundray | LimCore: no, that's not what ntp is for | 10:08 |
| anirudh0 | tech0007: i think you are misunderstanding my question...i know the package name..i'd like to know what it means | 10:08 |
| rastakid | alright, it's just strange that it says nowhere that it's a RC | 10:09 |
| tech0007 | anirudh0: nobin...mean no binaries... | 10:09 |
| achadwick | LimCore: System > Administration > Time and Date > Unlock. soundray: uh, no. | 10:09 |
| soundray | LimCore: Ubuntu synchronizes automatically with a timeserver when the defaultroute network interface goes up. That's the default setup | 10:10 |
| anirudh0 | clarezoe: looks like a python package..i there a setup.py in the dir? | 10:10 |
| anirudh0 | *is | 10:10 |
| soundray | achadwick: what? | 10:10 |
| AlexCONRAD | Hi, during a unattended install (pressed) is it a bad idea to chroot /taget/, patch, make, make modules, make install, mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd... ? I have compiled a network driver during auto-install process, and it crashes on reboot. I have made the same manipultations *after* an installation and the driver works fine. Any pointers ? | 10:11 |
| achadwick | soundray: NTP is for time synchronisation. That is the protocol's job. But I did not know about the default config, been a while since I did a fresh install. | 10:11 |
| MrABC | can anyone help me, i did the pulse audio thing and now i can't get any sound from firefox... | 10:11 |
| jaklumen | pulse audio thing? | 10:12 |
| LimCore | achadwick: Unable to contact time server: pool.ntp.org. | 10:12 |
| LimCore | cool, I found 2nd bog then | 10:12 |
| MrABC | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 10:12 |
| ronin1234 | for firefox go to help:release notes to find the version | 10:13 |
| LimCore | achadwick: above messages is from kde system settings -> time and date -> [x] setup time automatically. it does work from command line | 10:13 |
| AlexW_ | soundray, :/ | 10:13 |
| MrABC | didn't work | 10:13 |
| tech0007 | MrABC: did u try renaming .asoundrc and .asoundrc.asoundconf ? | 10:13 |
| soundray | AlexW_: what type of wifi card have you added? | 10:13 |
| MrABC | renaming? | 10:13 |
| clarezoe | anirudh0, I only found one setup.pyc, and then it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/18998/ in the terminal | 10:13 |
| LimCore | soundray: no, it does not do that auto synchronization by default | 10:13 |
| AlexW_ | soundray, D-Link G510 | 10:14 |
| LimCore | soundray: then what for is ntp? | 10:14 |
| AlexW_ | PCI | 10:14 |
| tech0007 | MrABC: mv ~/.asoundrc .asoundrc.old mv ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf.old | 10:14 |
| anirudh0 | clarezoe: install python-plistlib | 10:14 |
| tech0007 | MrABC: then close/open firefox | 10:14 |
| soundray | AlexW_: how is it connected to your computer? | 10:14 |

| clarezoe | anirudh0, ok, thanks. come back later | 10:15 |
| AlexW_ | soundray, pci | 10:15 |
| m1r | AlexW_: i use same card without any problem on 8.04, worked out of box | 10:15 |

| AlexW_ | mlr, i just put it in | 10:16 |
| rastakid | http://ubuntuforums.org/ down? | 10:16 |
| soundray | LimCore: it's for time synchronization all right. The package that syncs your host with an internet timeserver, though, is ntpdate. And its default setup is fine. You're not supposed to install ntpd unless you know exactly what you are doing | 10:16 |
| tech0007 | rastakid: nope | 10:16 |
| m1r | AlexW_: does it get listed on lspci ? | 10:16 |
| anirudh0 | LimCore: hate to ask the obvious..but is the daemon running? | 10:16 |
| LimCore | rastakid: works for me | 10:16 |
| MrABC | NO SUCH FILES | 10:16 |

| m1r | hi ikonia | 10:16 |
| LimCore | anirudh0: yes, it was running all the time. I finally stoped it to use ntpdate by hand to confirm that clock FAILED and was desynchronized | 10:16 |

| AlexW_ | soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18999/ | 10:17 |
| ikonia | LimCore: ntpd isnt for controlling your system time | 10:18 |
| clarezoe | anirudh0, sorry, just a moment | 10:18 |
| AlexW_ | soundray, the light on the back is working so :/ | 10:18 |
| LimCore | ikonia: manual says it is | 10:18 |
| ikonia | LimCore: I thought you where having problems syncing against your ntp server | 10:18 |

| LimCore | The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and main The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and maintains the system time of day in synchronism[..]tains the system time of day in synchronism | 10:18 |
| ikonia | LimCore: it's "time server" it needs to be setup correclty in the stratum service to work | 10:18 |

| ikonia | LimCore: I know what it does | 10:18 |
| clarezoe | anirudh0, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19000/ | 10:18 |
| ikonia | LimCore: I think your miss-uindersanding the wording a little | 10:19 |
| LimCore | hmm ok, then again | 10:19 |
| LimCore | how to have my system time synchronized to pool.ntp.org ? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | LimCore: but if you want to control your desktop clock with ntpd then, that can be done | 10:19 |
| AlexW_ | m1r, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18999/ | 10:19 |
| LimCore | well any way that works would be fine | 10:19 |
| ikonia | LimCore: just realise that your actually setting up a time server, not syncing your clock | 10:19 |
| tech0007 | LimCore: if it happens too often, it might be hardware (CMOS battery) i think | 10:19 |
| AlexW_ | I have two of these cards | 10:19 |

| sparky_ | Any solution to that? | 10:20 |
| LimCore | ikonia: but on ##linux they told me to use ntp instead ntpdate | 10:20 |
| ikonia | LimCore: that is an option, yes | 10:21 |
| LimCore | ikonia: running ntpdate from cron is not the best, because it may "jump" | 10:21 |
| anirudh0 | clarezoe: see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2app/ | 10:21 |
| LimCore | I heatred that ntpd is better because it runs continuesly therefore better | 10:21 |
| ikonia | LimCore: yes, the clock may jump, so putting your cron job time of, that is a fair point ot make | 10:21 |
| MrABC | A BIG THANK YOU to the ubuntu community for helping me solve my sound problem... Thanks again! | 10:21 |
| anirudh0 | clarezoe: this says that py2app..the cause of your error is a mac specific thing | 10:21 |
| ikonia | LimCore: ntp is a "time server" - its your call if thats how you want to set up your machine | 10:21 |
| anirudh0 | clarezoe: you are sure that you downloaded the right thing? | 10:21 |
| LimCore | ikonia: ok I want to use this ntp. How to use it to have my local time synchronized? | 10:22 |

| The-Seiman | jeed, or "cp /boot/config-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/debian/config/386" ? | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Oli````: this is the price of using proposed packages | 10:51 |
| jeed | ndf, zcat decompresses | 10:51 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: I'm not | 10:51 |
| sparky_ | Can anyone help me get Java running please? :/ | 10:51 |
| ndf | oic | 10:51 |
| ubuntu__ | please type myname: so i know if you are repliying to me | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Oli````: oh ? | 10:51 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: backports, yes | 10:51 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, i trust whats running more than that ;) | 10:51 |
| help2day | someone tried to install incredimail on ubuntu, using wine? | 10:51 |
| jimcooncat_ | bain, you could manually add it to /etc/hosts temporarily. can you ping 155.232.137.229 ? | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Oli````: RC1 is the only one in the repo I can see | 10:51 |
| LimCore | help2day: ... but why :) | 10:52 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, probably it's a noob question, but why /proc/config.gz and not the config file located at /boot/ ? | 10:52 |
| jaklumen | Anyone? I can't get .mp3s to work. I could get saved ones to work, but now I installed a Creative Audigy SE card, and now... I can't. | 10:52 |
| ubuntu__ | Someone please please, help.....I installed Ubuntu after trying the LiveCD...But when I rebooted it was not there, the Windows Vista boot loader was, but It did not give me a choice to boot into Ubuntu...Pleeeeez help me | 10:52 |
| ikonia | Oli````: where is that being backported from ? | 10:52 |
| help2day | have a mail server, and a customer, do not can use incredi mail becurse tls | 10:52 |
| jaklumen | I've looked at the "Debugging Sound Problems" in the wiki, and I followed the multimedia sticky at the forums | 10:52 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, the /proc version is garunteed 100% the config for the kernel your running, the /boot may not be | 10:52 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: yeah that's what the update said it was but the about>help and window message says RC2 | 10:52 |
| bain | jimcooncat_: i've swiched to another DNS provider .. and all working .. | 10:52 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, okay thanks :-) | 10:52 |
| bain | thanks .. | 10:52 |
| Flannel | Oli````: apt-cache policy firefox | 10:53 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, its just the same thing and one has more success, so i think why not do that | 10:53 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, all the ndiswrapper and other proprietary stuff will be included ? | 10:53 |
| Oli```` | Flannel ikonia: Installed: 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 | 10:53 |

| ubuntu__ | I just need someon to help me so my Ubuntu installation is chooseable in the Boot-Up screen...N e one know how? | 10:53 |
| ubuntu__ | I | 10:54 |
| ikonia | Oli````: thats the same one on my machine, doesn't say RC2 | 10:54 |
| ubuntu__ | It's Ubuntu 32bit Hardy 8.04 | 10:54 |
| ubuntu__ | LTS | 10:54 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: yes | 10:54 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, it will copy over your kernel config your running now, but 3rd party stuff on top such as nvidia drivers, madwifi etc will have to be compiled again, against the new kernel sources, so they function | 10:54 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: =S not sure what's happened there then.. I can't even get it to load up through -ProfileManager now | 10:54 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: can you help me get my Ubuntu in the boot menu so I can boot it? | 10:54 |
| jimcooncat_ | bain: good deal! I was switching dns all the time until I found a set that worked for me. | 10:54 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: how did you install ubuntu ? | 10:55 |
| tech0007 | ubuntu__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740221 | 10:55 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, okay thank you :-) | 10:55 |
| ikonia | Oli````: I'm worried you have other repo's/packages on your machine as mine has that package and says nothing about RC2 | 10:55 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, no problem | 10:55 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: I booted on the LiveCD then just installed it, followed all directions as required, when it asked to reboot or remain on lIve session CD, I pick reboot and its not there | 10:55 |

| ikonia | ubuntu__: what do you see ? | 10:55 |

| jeed | sparky_, whats your java problem? | 10:56 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: I am now the live CD.... | 10:56 |
| Flynsarmy | Why did Firefox 3 RC1 just become available on apt today when it's been available on the web for like a month and rc2 has been out for days? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: what do you see when you try to boot | 10:56 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: I see Windows Vista loader only | 10:56 |
| sparky_ | jeed, it refused to work. | 10:56 |
| MonsieurAnderson | Hello :) | 10:56 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: ok, so either grub didn't install, or it installed to the wrong disk | 10:56 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: how many physical disks to you have ? | 10:56 |
| magnetron | MonsieurAnderson: hi | 10:56 |
| jeed | sparky_, gunna need a little more info there buddy, is it installed and not working on firefox or? | 10:56 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, hi, i have asked a question about places menu and filesystem, and my question is only one there unanswered for about two week, looks like nobody has a clue... | 10:56 |
| sparky_ | I tried reinstalling some package, and now whenever I load a page with a java template, the web browser just crashes | 10:56 |
| MonsieurAnderson | Is this a big, big, enormeous fake/troll ? http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/the-definitive-review-of-ubuntu-linux-804-hardy-heron | 10:56 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: I have 2 Hard Drives, 3 partitions | 10:56 |
| sparky_ | And yes, on | 10:56 |
| sparky_ | And yes, on FireFox | 10:56 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: what are you looking for ? | 10:57 |
| jeed | sparky_, does java show up in about:plugins ? (put that in your firefox url bar) | 10:57 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: ok - can you tell your motherboard to boot from the other hard disk ? | 10:57 |
| sparky_ | sun-java6-jre is already installed | 10:57 |
| magnetron | MonsieurAnderson: this channel is mainly for support, plz join #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll discuss the review there | 10:57 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: it is booting from the correct hard disk already | 10:57 |
| soundray | AlexW: swapping slots fixed it? | 10:57 |
| MonsieurAnderson | Ok, I understand :) | 10:57 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: thas not what I asked, can you change your motherboard to boot from the other hard disk ? | 10:57 |
| ndf | would anyone know why 'Login Screen' in Control Centre only opens for half a second then disappears? (it's not a gksu problem, it asks for root pw and loads up, but then goes after half a second) | 10:57 |
| sparky_ | jeed, if it's libgcjwebplugin.so, then yes | 10:58 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, ooh you do not remember any more? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+question/35338 | 10:58 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: yes I can change it to boot from the other hard disk | 10:58 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: I remember the question, but what exactly are you looking for ? | 10:58 |
| sparky_ | But that's the only Java one I have | 10:58 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: can you please ask it to boot from the other disk | 10:58 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: though I think it will just say insert system disc, as no OS is installed on the other disk | 10:58 |
| AlexW | soundray, I think the issue is, I took out my HDTV card to put it in, because i was to lazy to remove the back plate, and I think ubuntu already thought this port was assigned | 10:58 |
| hanak | anyone know how i can make a network map in ubuntu? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: you have a choice - you can listen to the advice/debugging I'm giving - or not, if you do'nt want to listen - thats fine | 10:59 |
| jeed | sparky_, there should be more plugins than that for good old java, have you got the package sun-java6-plugin installed? | 10:59 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: ok I will try that, and hope that it works...if not i will boot LiveCD and come back...Will you still be here? | 10:59 |
| sparky_ | jeed, I don't, I can't install it | 10:59 |
| Flynsarmy | icqnumber: it's satire | 10:59 |
| sidis405 | hello guys | 10:59 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: yes, I'm not going anywhere | 10:59 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: I chose very much to listen to your advice, I am as of now going to try it. | 10:59 |
| Flynsarmy | icqnumber: read the comments | 10:59 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, i want to restore my filesystem item in places menu for beginning, and want to know how to add/remove this hard drive items!!!!! | 10:59 |
| jeed | sparky_, why cant you install it? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | ubuntu__: please pay attention to any errors or warnings you get | 10:59 |
| b33r_ | Hello when I'm trying to configure my eth0 I'm getting this error: Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system, can anyone help?? :S | 10:59 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: okay I will, brb soon | 10:59 |
| ubuntu__ | ikonia: thank you | 10:59 |
| sparky_ | Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 11:00 |
| sparky_ | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 11:00 |
| sparky_ | is only available from another source | 11:00 |
| soundray | ndf: from a terminal, run 'gksudo gdmsetup' -- does this work? If not, does it report an error in the terminal? | 11:00 |
| icqnumber | Flynsarmy, what are you talking about? | 11:00 |
| ac3 | how do other applications access the gnome keyring? like networkmanager? | 11:00 |
| sparky_ | jeed, that's what it says when I try to install it | 11:00 |
| icqnumber | Flynsarmy, what is satire? | 11:00 |
| sidis405 | i had a an issue with evolution. might be even the silliest thing in the world, but it's been busting my head for hours. | 11:00 |
| Flynsarmy | icqnumber: Gah sorry, got you mixed up with MonsieurAnderson | 11:00 |
| ndf | soundray: it does the same thing, the window appears for half a second then goes | 11:00 |
| ndf | no error | 11:00 |
| soundray | sparky_: it's not available for your architecture | 11:01 |
| sidis405 | it's about the read-only calendar. | 11:01 |
| sparky_ | soundray, so is there any way to get Java to work then? :/ | 11:01 |
| jeed | soundray, if he can hava java he can have the plugin ;) | 11:01 |
| sidis405 | anyone feel like helping? | 11:01 |
| sparky_ | And what architecture IS it available? | 11:01 |
| sparky_ | +on | 11:01 |
| icqnumber | Flynsarmy, okay nevermind then | 11:01 |
| jeed | sparky_, your on AMD64/64-bit? or 32-bit? | 11:02 |
| soundray | sparky_: as far as I know, there isn't currently a solution, except installing a 32bit version of firefox | 11:02 |
| sparky_ | 64 | 11:02 |
| soundray | !flash64 | sparky_ | 11:02 |
| ubottu | sparky_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 11:02 |
| jeed | ah | 11:02 |
| jeed | yup you'll need to do extra for 64-bit | 11:02 |
| jeed | its the price you pay | 11:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | 64bit is super awesome.. lol.. you have to install a 32bit browser to watch youtube. | 11:02 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Does anyone have a good suggestion of apps for my 6yr old? He get's pretty addicted to his computer (Ubuntu 8.04) mainly Torcs, Planetpenguin racer, tuxkart and several others .. I need to not only control his access to the www (he does Playhouse disney and others) and time his computer login. Help? | 11:03 |
| soundray | jeed: it's the price we pay for Sun not compiling a plugin for 64 bit | 11:03 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: no, you don't | 11:03 |
| === bz0b_ is now known as bz0b | ||
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: flash works fine in 64 | 11:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: well, its good to know flash is working now.. | 11:03 |
| bz0b | hey guys does anyone here use ipw3945? | 11:03 |
| sparky_ | Bah, it errors when installing the 32 version :/ | 11:03 |
| jeed | soundray, commercial people hate 64-bit | 11:03 |
| PetoKraus | hello, i am gentoo user, helping out a guy with ubuntu - is there a way how to compile a kernel? i mean, specific? | 11:04 |
| jeed | you need the plugin wrapper for flash, pretty trivial install | 11:04 |
| sparky_ | soundray, would I be better off installing the 32 bit on my computer, or staying with the 64? | 11:04 |
| PetoKraus | for ubuntu? cause gentoo does it differently... thanks | 11:04 |
| soundray | sparky_: you need to follow the instructions on the flash64 link | 11:04 |
| ndf | soundray: it does the same thing, the window appears for half a second then goes | 11:04 |
| ndf | no error | 11:04 |
| sparky_ | soundray, I did, but it still errored | 11:04 |
| bz0b | i seem to have a problem when attempting to change my mac adress on my wifi card then trying to connect back to the network does anyone know why? | 11:04 |
| soundray | jeed: no, they don't. Sun love their own 64bit architecture | 11:04 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: Make sure build-essential has been installed, then google "Compile Ubuntu Kernel" and it should pop you up .. | 11:05 |
| sparky_ | But i mean generally speaking, is it better to stick with the 64 or the 32? | 11:05 |
| jeed | yeah but like they are gunna give in to someone who isnt gunna make them money | 11:05 |
| soundray | ndf: you could run 'sudo strace gdmsetup', see if you can make sense of the output | 11:05 |
| jeed | sparky_, i have a 64-bit compatible pc but i use 32, its less hassle all round | 11:05 |
| soundray | ndf: it'll probably tell you what it fails on | 11:05 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: How is Gentoo doing? I used it exclusively until I got lazy .. :) .. I miss it though .. | 11:05 |
| icqnumber | soundray, can you please take a look at the /msg i wrote to you :) | 11:05 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: i know how to compile kernel, but, i usually do it without initramd (gentoo way). | 11:05 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: have you tried logging a specific request to gnome for the correct gconf parameter ? | 11:05 |
| simi | hi, i used pysdm to make my fat patition to be mounted at boot time, it worked but i can only read files from it, i tried from dolphin to give me permisions to write but it does not work, can i mount the partition directly with write permisions? i seen in /etc/fstab that the floppy has a rw flag, my partition has only a default flag | 11:05 |
| sparky_ | Ah ok, that's what I figured. Well thank you | 11:05 |
| soundray | !pm | icqnumber | 11:06 |
| ubottu | icqnumber: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 11:06 |
| jeed | sparky_, no problem | 11:06 |
| ndf | soundray: you ecpect me to read about 1,000 pages of info?! | 11:06 |
| ndf | *expect | 11:06 |
| soundray | ndf: it's your choice | 11:06 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: With Ubuntu out of the box it's lacking the tools needed to compile. sudo aptitude install build-essential (might have misspelled it) .. contains the items needed to compile. | 11:06 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: i was debian user, never used ubuntu, but i got dissatisfied with constant overwriting of your confs - like, /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:07 |
| soundray | ndf: hint: what you're looking for is probably at the end of this output | 11:07 |
| icqnumber | soundray, i have asked it many many times here, so you was my last chance, because i assume, that you knows a lot... | 11:07 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: already apt-got. | 11:07 |
| simi | here is my /etc/fstab http://pastebin.com/mf80f130 i have kubuntu hardy | 11:07 |
| desinex | 1000 zebras on a ferry!! Yes!! | 11:07 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: gentoo at least warns you when it overwrites your configs :) | 11:07 |
| ndf | soundray: lots of missing thumbnail pngs and a segmentation fault | 11:07 |
| soundray | ndf: do you get segfaults with any other programs? | 11:08 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, well, first of all, what makes you so sure that it must be stored in gconf? | 11:08 |
| goran | hi | 11:08 |
| ndf | soundray: not that i know of | 11:08 |
| Kira | With Hardy desktop, how do I make it so that only root has the right to shutdown/restart/suspend the computer? | 11:08 |
| goran | i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and and cannot connect to my home wireless network | 11:08 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: what was it in Gentoo .. um .. etc-config or something? I miss it, it was nice, but my server's got really hard to keep up .. I'm no good at compiling kernels in Ubuntu, but you should be able to find it via Google or the Ubuntuforums.org site .. | 11:09 |
| soundray | ndf: try a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm' and retry gksudo gdmsetup | 11:09 |
| jeed | etc-update, NineTeen67Comet | 11:09 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: resonable deduction | 11:09 |
| rdz | TecnoBrat, if i recall correctly, we yesterday talked about a problem regarding windows loader. the problem arised, because i added a new partition before the windows partition. you suggested to repair the bootloader using the windows cd. just for your information: i am sure, it would have worked well, but it wasn't actually necessary, i just needed to edit the boot.ini file and increment all the partition numbers by 1. | 11:09 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, and even if it is, i do not know how to do that | 11:09 |
| goran | i have atheros | 11:09 |
| ndf | ok | 11:09 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: etc-update, yeah :) i found the command, it's make-kpkg... | 11:09 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: don't know how to do what ? | 11:09 |
| goran | and nm-applet can see networks but can't connect | 11:09 |
| freshy | morning | 11:09 |
| goran | can any1 help? | 11:09 |
| goran | :) | 11:09 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: it's actually the same as debian way. Though init ramdisks suck, it's useless hassle, in my opinion... | 11:09 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, no i am relative new new | 11:09 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: you don't know how to do what ? | 11:10 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, no, i do not know | 11:10 |
| ndf | soundray: sudo didnt ask for pass and this happened: | 11:10 |
| ndf | :~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm | 11:10 |
| soundray | icqnumber: give ikonia that link, please | 11:10 |
| ndf | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 11:10 |
| ndf | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 11:10 |
| FloodBot3 | ndf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:10 |
| NineTeen67Comet | goran: Wireless no matter how much work they put into it, seems to have issues (Not the fault of the Distribution, but the hardware makers) .. the way I usually get it working is google my brains out, a lot of nano use and crossing my fingers .. | 11:10 |
| jeed | ndf, close synaptic | 11:10 |
| icqnumber | soundray, he have seen it allready | 11:10 |
| ndf | oh lol | 11:10 |
| ndf | cant atm | 11:10 |
| freshy | has anyone go pyScrabble to work on hardy? | 11:11 |
| ndf | its updating | 11:11 |
| rdz | hi all. how can import all my accounts from my evolution on dapper to the new evolution on hardy? | 11:11 |
| phantomas | how can i join subtitles to a mpg ? | 11:11 |
| jimcooncat | PetoKraus: I believe init ramdisks are useful if you use lvm for root | 11:11 |
| icqnumber | soundray, are you talking about this question on launchpad, i have asked? | 11:11 |
| timsom | why are you want only the root have the right to shutdown the computer ,are there anyone have no necessary | 11:11 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: I'll have to try to compile a Kernel in *buntu some day .. I'm hoping after classes this semester I can install Gentoo on one of my many boxes and get back to my roots .. | 11:11 |
| jeed | NineTeen67Comet, i saw a laptop that had OOTB ubuntu wireless 100% working, it was a good few mins :) | 11:11 |
| goran | NineTeen67Comet, well i'm googling whole morning :D anyway it worked on debian with ndiswrapper, but ubuntu recognized ath_pci drivers and i'm curious why it doesnt work | 11:11 |
| icqnumber | soundray, he was the first one i have asked about it :-) | 11:11 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: well, i had custom kernel in debian, along with custom scripts - then apt-get dist-upgrade smashed it all | 11:11 |
| rdz | phantomas, what format are those subtitles using? | 11:11 |
| goran | what does this "roaming" mean in network configuration? | 11:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: whats your wireless device? | 11:11 |
| goran | atheros | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | ipw2200 ftw | 11:12 |
| goran | 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 11:12 |
| PetoKraus | goran: if you see the networks | 11:12 |
| PetoKraus | it's usually the wpa_supplicant causing you trouble | 11:12 |
| goran | iwlist ath0 scan works | 11:12 |
| icqnumber | soundray, or better, he was the first one who has replyed on my question... | 11:12 |
| NineTeen67Comet | It is a crap shoot for me if Wifi works. This MBP will have nothing to do with wireless.. but my HP and Dell notebooks took right off .. | 11:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: thats why.... the device is misdetected by Ubuntu.. its actually AR5006EG | 11:12 |
| NineTeen67Comet | goran: I'm always fighting wifi with friends computers I talk into *nix .. lol .. some even have the same card .. it's NUTS .. :) | 11:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: hang on a sec, i have some links for that device | 11:13 |
| PetoKraus | intel cards are GOOD. | 11:13 |
| phantomas | rdz: its srt | 11:13 |
| goran | so i should remove wpa_supplicant? | 11:13 |
| PetoKraus | no | 11:13 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: I reinstalled firefox and moved the ~/.mozilla to generate a new one and here's the result (all sorts of broken): http://i.thepcspy.com/oli/firefoxhelp.jpg | 11:13 |
| jeed | broadcom seem to have awesome wireless support these days | 11:13 |
| soundray | icqnumber: still, if he asks you what you need help with, you shouldn't reply "yes, I need help". That's if you want to be taken seriously | 11:13 |
| goran | IndyGunFreak, its not just misdetection by ubuntu, debian detected same card | 11:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeed: now.. it used to be pretty rough. | 11:13 |
| PetoKraus | jeed: anything based on mac80211 is good ;) | 11:13 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, well i don't find the /proc/config.gz but i'ill use /boot/config-`uname -r` anyway . | 11:13 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Perlboy: apt-get is satan . aptitude is my buddy (unless I'm removing, then back to apt-get cuz aptitude will plain take it all if it didn't install it .. full-upgrade is a good command for upgrades too .. or safe-upgrade if you are spooked .. | 11:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: well, i didn't say it was just ubuntu, i'm just familiar w/ the problem w/ ubuntu. | 11:13 |
| timsom | i want to know how to install the drive for SIS650 | 11:13 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, thats gay, use the /boot :) | 11:14 |
| goran | ok ok | 11:14 |
| goran | so what should i do? | 11:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: have you searched the forums on this?.. there's several fixes | 11:14 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: what you don't like about apt-get?!? | 11:14 |
| timsom | is there anyone who do this before | 11:14 |
| dakira | hi.. how can i figure out which process opened a specific port? | 11:14 |
| jeed | IndyGunFreak, i put ubuntu on a broadcom chip laptop and it was OOTB working | 11:14 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: | 11:14 |
| timsom | please help me | 11:14 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: I have found the answer, the places menu is controlled from .gtk-bookmarks directory | 11:14 |
| jeed | so i suppose it is good these days | 11:14 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: apt-get seems to mess stuff up for me more than aptitude .. | 11:14 |
| goran | IndyGunFreak, yes... but it is for 5007 chipset | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Oli````: I'm not convinvced thats come from the ubuntu repos | 11:14 |
| goran | i dont know if my chipset is 5007 | 11:14 |
| soundray | timsom: do you have gnome running? | 11:14 |
| rdz | phantomas, afaik, mplayer can display subtitles from srt files. probably you can use mplayer or mencoder to create a new file, where picture and subtitles are joined | 11:14 |
| PetoKraus | NineTeen67Comet: that's weird. because aptitude USES apt-get. | 11:14 |
| jeed | PetoKraus, emerge is better :) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Oli````: I cannot find a firefox release 2 package | 11:14 |
| timsom | yes | 11:14 |
| rdz | phantomas, but for details, you might want to ask #mplayer (i am no expert in this field) | 11:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: and if you read the threads you searched, the 242x is misdetected 99% of the time, its ar5006EG(which in gutsy, was misdetected as Ar6007) | 11:15 |
| m1r | soundray: many tnx m8, seems that *-16 was problem , everything works ok now | 11:15 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, no no , i know that, it is for for your custom folders only | 11:15 |
| PetoKraus | jeed: well, it's different. I don't like emerge very much either... | 11:15 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, hmm... one more question, ndiswrapper and acer_acpi are installed using .deb packages | 11:15 |
| timsom | but we i play game like war III ,it work very slow | 11:15 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: it's not - it's definitely the rc1 package. It could well be RC1 just loading the RC2 splash page | 11:15 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, so do I need to reinstall them in the new kernel ? | 11:15 |
| soundray | m1r: no, -16 wasn't the problem -- but removing it made your menu.lst accessible to update-grub again | 11:15 |
| timsom | but there is no this problem in the Windows XP | 11:15 |
| NineTeen67Comet | PetoKraus: especially when removing things I installed with aptitude .. aptitude seems to keep an eye on dependancies better when it is used for installation .. emerge however is still my fave ..lol | 11:15 |
| jeed | PetoKraus, masking can get annoying but nothing beats a good old source compile automated | 11:15 |
| goran | so regular madwifi that comes with ubuntu will not work? | 11:15 |
| * NineTeen67Comet port is nice too , but FBSD messes with my head on how it slices and partitions .. | 11:16 | |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: i'm using madwifi right now.. | 11:16 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, like pictures, videos, and so one, the hard drivers items are stored somethere else | 11:16 |
| PetoKraus | jeed: it's quite slow to be honest. Source compiling is great thing to do, ofc, but writing it in python... | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Oli````: why is mine not loading that splash page | 11:16 |
| jeed | The-Seiman, you should be ok with stuff like ndiswrapper | 11:16 |
| soundray | timsom: which driver are you currently using? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Oli````: why does mine not say "release candidate 2" in the top right | 11:16 |
| The-Seiman | jeed, okay thanks :-) | 11:16 |
| m1r | soundray: strange problem , but glad u helped me sort it out , tnx a lot | 11:16 |
| jeed | PetoKraus, python is faster than quite a few languages | 11:16 |
| goran | so what should i do? :) compile madwifi from source or smth else? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | icqnumber: I'll go back to reading the docs (which you should be doing - not me) | 11:16 |
| PetoKraus | jeed: that's true, but not than C/C++ | 11:16 |
| timsom | this is one SIS650 | 11:16 |
| jeed | PetoKraus, we could go all the way and do it in ASM | 11:16 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Off to beat my children .. best of luck goran and hope you get the kernel figured out PetoKraus | 11:17 |
| icqnumber | ikonia, i was reading them allready on gnomes docs | 11:17 |
| timsom | integration | 11:17 |
| soundray | timsom: please use my nick when you reply. Which *driver* are you using (I'm not asking about the card) | 11:17 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: it only loads on first load and that "(Release Candidate 2)" text is a page title set through HTML. Move your ~/.mozilla dir to ~/.mozilla2 and restart firefox | 11:17 |
| PetoKraus | jeed: and there are other annoying things... toolsets for emerge are scattered among several packages. apt-* provides you convenient interface to everything... but that's OT | 11:17 |

| IndyGunFreak | goran: if the instructiosn you've found for the 5007 aren't working, its probably a 5006 | 11:19 |
| icqnumber | soundray, thank you for the hint, but i guess you have misunderstood that | 11:20 |
| timsom | soundray: yes | 11:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 11:20 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: well I'm really confused but thenk you for testing. Time to nuke everything with firefox or mozilla in its name | 11:20 |
| goran | but it should be already working since it could scan? | 11:20 |
| timsom | soundray: right now | 11:20 |
| goran | i'm using 32bit | 11:20 |

| lejon | someone having probs with ath wifi card? | 11:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: you would think so.., but i had the same issues, i could see networks, but couldn't hook on to any of them. | 11:21 |
| goran | lejon, yep | 11:21 |
| Oli```` | ikonia: good point. I'll disable backports too | 11:21 |
| goran | hm | 11:21 |
| timsom | sourndray: do you what the problem . | 11:21 |
| goran | ok | 11:21 |
| lejon | goran, you know which card it is or which chipset it is? | 11:21 |
| goran | 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 11:21 |
| goran | apparently it is ar5007 | 11:21 |
| LimCore | Flannel: ikonia: I see no messages in syslog, but it would seem that both ntpdate and ntpd fail to adjust small time offsets - using adjtime instead of settimeofday() perhaps its a kerenl/driver/mobo bug related to adjtime then? I added more info to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/238805 does it look like a bug? | 11:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 238805 in ntp "ntpd doesn't work - time is not synchronized" [Undecided,New] | 11:22 |
| ikonia | LimCore: stop making random comments | 11:22 |
| lejon | goran let me check mine, I have a atheros 5005G and it has a 243x or 242xchipset dont remember :P | 11:22 |
| soundray | icqnumber: no, I haven't. You have misunderstood ikonia. But if I can't convince you that you have, I can't help to clear it up. | 11:22 |
| LimCore | ikonia: debugging the problem is random comment? | 11:22 |
| headache | I get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery, anyone know how to fix it? | 11:22 |
| lejon | ah I had a AR2413 chipset, but goran, have you tried the madwifi drivers? | 11:23 |
| soundray | LimCore: reporting a bug before you've understood the basics of your problem is trolling. | 11:23 |
| goran | lejon, well drivers came with ubuntu | 11:23 |
| lejon | otherwise I before found a atheros page with linux drivers, brb and ill try to find it again | 11:23 |
| goran | and i can scan | 11:23 |
| goran | but i cannot connect to any network | 11:23 |
| goran | i get this when i try ifup: wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801 | 11:23 |
| LimCore | soundray: I understood the problem well enough to see what causes the bug. Unless you can point some mistake in this reasoning? | 11:23 |
| lejon | goran, try to download the madwifi drivers and try them? | 11:24 |
| goran | and getting nothing from dhcp :| | 11:24 |
| goran | nupe | 11:24 |
| goran | nope* | 11:24 |
| timsom | are you in | 11:24 |
| soundray | LimCore: the mistake in this reasoning is that there is no bug. | 11:24 |
| goran | i'm going to try that now | 11:24 |

| bazhang | goran, what does sudo dhclient wifi0 return | 11:25 |
| icqnumber | soundray, well the shorter way was to make it clear is that you have no answer to my question and not because my question was bad... | 11:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: running your test now | 11:26 |
| timsom | soundray: OK wait for a moment | 11:27 |
| soundray | Taco: when you click on it, it switches to another input method, for example Chinese | 11:27 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, what question | 11:27 |
| soundray | icqnumber: I never said your question was bad, and I made it clear that I don't know the answer. | 11:27 |

| lejon | goran, http://www.atheros.cz/ I found the site again | 11:28 |
| goran_ | yes | 11:29 |
| ikonia | LimCore: does that give you confidence it's working ? | 11:29 |
| Taco | soundray:The regret, I said am the input method, the example: gcin | 11:29 |
| soundray | icqnumber: I was trying to clear up something else, something that you had misunderstood, probably due to the fact that you're not a native English speaker. If you want to, we can clear this up in German by pm. I'd appreciate it, though, if you didn't question my helping in public. | 11:29 |
| LimCore | ikonia: what is your drift if you dont run ntpdate nor ntp? | 11:30 |
| goran_ | i have to reboot | 11:30 |
| goran_ | brb | 11:30 |
| ikonia | soundray: if you can do this in german, thank danke | 11:30 |
| ikonia | LimCore: very small | 11:30 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, is this hardy? there is no such item in my places menu | 11:30 |
| ikonia | LimCore: just got an 0.00859 | 11:30 |
| ndf | does 'roaming mode' in wireless networking mean that it will switch automatically to better signal quality networks if they are open? | 11:30 |
| lejon | ndf as far as I know, yes | 11:30 |
| ikonia | bazhang: thats his problem | 11:30 |
| icqnumber | soundray, i just do not want to flood asking my long question every time, that is why i have pm'ed you | 11:30 |
| timsom | soundray: I have paste the file in http://paste.ubuntu.com/19012/ | 11:30 |
| ndf | lejon: ok thanks | 11:31 |
| LimCore | ikonia: if you have a small drift, below 0.5 sec, and run ntpdate, and then run ntpdate again right after, then you see that former ntpdate run synchronzied the clock right? | 11:31 |
| bazhang | ikonia, thanks :) | 11:31 |
| lejon | ndf because roaming means that you just connect to the best available network where you are atm, even if you move | 11:31 |
| ndf | ok | 11:31 |
| icqnumber | bazhang, the item witch points you to / | 11:31 |
| ndf | i'm turning it off | 11:31 |
| ikonia | LimCore: one moment, just sleeping 20 | 11:31 |
| lejon | ndf, np | 11:31 |
| ndf | i keep getting shoved off my network and connected to 'unknown' with real slow rates | 11:31 |
| ikonia | LimCore: without ntp/ntpd date drift was 0.002663 | 11:31 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, it is called 'Computer' now | 11:32 |
| lejon | ndf well, you have roaming enabled or have you configured ur interface? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | LimCore: yes, the the more frequent I run ntpdate the less the drift | 11:32 |
| ikonia | LimCore: (within reason of course) | 11:32 |
| icqnumber | bazhang, computer shows you all dirves, and not / | 11:32 |
| soundray | timsom: look at line 299: you are already using the SIS driver. It may not support 3D acceleration as the Windows driver -- this is because the Linux driver has been written by volunteers who had no internal specifications of the SIS chipset. | 11:33 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, you are on hardy? the computer shows all drives and filesystem | 11:33 |
| LimCore | ikonia: exacly. And for me, the drift grows up to 0.5 second no matter how often I call ntpdate, then jumps to almost 0 | 11:33 |
| ikonia | LimCore: ok, so your bios motherboard is probably dyning | 11:34 |
| ikonia | LimCore: as in the battery | 11:34 |
| icqnumber | bazhang, i know, take a look at you nautilus places menu left in nautilus window | 11:34 |
| ikonia | LimCore: therefore your machine is drifting quickly | 11:34 |
| LimCore | ikonia: right | 11:34 |
| ikonia | LimCore: so whats the problem ? | 11:34 |
| LimCore | ikonia: but then, why drifts < 0.5 sec are not fixed, and > 0.5 are? | 11:34 |
| soundray | ndf: is gdmsetup working now? | 11:34 |
| ikonia | LimCore: what do you mean not fixed ? | 11:34 |
| === perverbozan is now known as DeR_BeST | ||
| timsom | soundray: oh,do i change the drive for SIS? for a support 3D acceleration | 11:35 |
| icqnumber | soundray, why in german by the way | 11:35 |
| ikonia | LimCore: in the bug report you've filed you have ofsets of bellow and above half a second being fixed ? | 11:35 |
| polygon89 | hello, quick question, which file do i edit to have specified modules start on boot? | 11:35 |
| LimCore | ikonia: drift grows despite running ntpdate. untill it reaches 0.5, then it jumps to 0 | 11:35 |

| ikonia | LimCore: ntpd sets the date at that second, if your motherboard battery is dying it's going to drift a lot | 11:36 |

| ndf | ? | 11:37 |
| lejon | ndf, have you manually configured ur interface now or just turned it of roaming? | 11:37 |
| LimCore | ikonia: the offset which you just pasted is not fixed, because the next call to ntpdate shows even bigger offset, instead of smaller | 11:37 |

| ikonia | LimCore: in 20 seconds the offset could have re-occured, it's not set in stone how much it drifts | 11:38 |
| brandan_ | What do I type into my Terminal for the nVidia Menu? | 11:38 |
| ikonia | LimCore: how about deal with fixing the problem - the battery on your motherboard looks like it's dying | 11:39 |
| polygon89 | how do i make certain kernel modules start on boot? | 11:39 |
| lejon | Vixus, it says that it cant find library gt-mt, try to search for that i synaptics/apt-cache and see if its installed or not? | 11:39 |

| LimCore | ikonia: ok this is better example: http://codepad.org/pMDclI7c only offsets above 0.5 second seem to be ACTUALLY fixed (that is, the next call to ntpdate right after shows almost 0 drift) is this correct? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | LimCore: I do see what your saying in that the offsets grow and then appear to reset at 0.5 seconds, but how long is that test run for | 11:40 |
| Vixus | There is no package qt-mt anyway. | 11:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | !doesntwork | Ontolog | 11:42 |
| ubottu | Ontolog: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 11:42 |
| ndf | i keep getting patches of no traffic in wifi... so it's real slow | 11:42 |
| soundray | ndf: it's not sensible to run gdmsetup while you're updating, anyway | 11:42 |
| ndf | soundray: i spose, but it's not actually installing yet, it's just downloading packages | 11:43 |
| bazhang | icqnumber, thought you were talking about the system menu Places | 11:43 |

| IndyGunFreak | Ontolog: you probably can't | 11:43 |
| mcquaid | can anyone view the apple keynote? http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html | 11:43 |
| soundray | Ontolog: see if the beta version is still in your /var/cache/apt/archives and install it with 'sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade' | 11:44 |
| ndf | IndyGunFreak: i'm sure you can | 11:44 |
| mcquaid | it just prompts me to get latest quicktime | 11:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ontolog: try removing FF3, and reinstalling FF2 from the repos. | 11:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | ndf: rollback froma stable to a release candidate?.. i'd like to see that | 11:44 |
| ndf | no it's not a stable | 11:44 |
| ndf | it's a rc2 | 11:44 |
| ndf | he wants to go back to the first beta rc1 i think | 11:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, i was thinking it was stable. | 11:44 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak, ndf: he wants to go back from rc1 to beta2 | 11:45 |
| icqnumber | bazhang, about one menu item called 'file system' in places menu in nautilus or in gnome-panel | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | regardelss, i don't think it will be that easy | 11:45 |
| ndf | yeah | 11:45 |
| kane77 | what is with all these updates lately in hardy? | 11:45 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: dpkg -i --force-downgrade | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: all sorts of fun | 11:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 11:45 |
| ndf | kane77: have you installed new packages lately? | 11:45 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: not if you're just downgrading from a proposed package | 11:46 |
| ndf | the more packages you install, the more updates you're gona get | 11:46 |
| ndf | :P | 11:46 |
| goran | i just tried with madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007 drivers and still wlan doesnt work | 11:46 |
| soundray | Ontolog: can you find it in your cache still? | 11:46 |
| LimCore | ikonia: if you will time to comment on this later it would be cool :) I think its a kernel-clock-driver bug. | 11:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: whats the date on that source package? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | LimCore: I would be happy to comment | 11:47 |
| kane77 | ndf, well.. sort of, but it's just unusual for me to find 160 new updates.. :) (meaning on final version I've been runing beta and there it was every other day :) ) | 11:47 |
| Jaknap | Hi | 11:47 |

| icqnumber | LimCore, hello, i do not want to fllod in the channel because have asked it several times allready, The 'Filesystem' item in Places menu has gone without any reason as i clicked on it(i was using it before successfully), but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and how to fix that? | 11:50 |
| lihoudi | ! | 11:50 |
| LimCore | icqnumber: hmm I dont know... perhaps ask also on #gnome | 11:51 |

| delmar | Hi everyone. I'm not entirely sure my setup is able to run ubuntu 64bit, and in fact the disk only gets as far as the main menu and fails to start the kernel. I have this CPU http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q7 on this motherboard http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=227&l4=0&model=745&modelmenu=2 . When it tries to load I see a black screen and down the bottum it says.. Kernel Alive, then says. | 11:51 |
| delmar | . something about kernel mapping tables up to 130000000 @ 8000-e000 then it does nothing more. | 11:51 |
| LimCore | icqnumber: its polite to not /msg people, but instread write on channels, or if noone can help - try web forum etc - it takes longer but better for harder questions | 11:51 |
| Ontolog | soundray: I will just download / install a non package version under /usr/local/ and use that until the problem with the js debugger is addressed in 3.0. Thanks. | 11:52 |

| albech | i want to print directly to a printer over the internet.. the printer support postscript.. how do i connect to it from my print manager? and which ports do i have to forward to the printer? | 11:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: no clue on that one | 11:54 |
| Ontolog | soundray: well I can't find the old packages on my system or online | 11:54 |
| icqnumber | LimCore, thank you, i may try it one more time ask in #gnome, there are no one who knows this code, as i have tried | 11:54 |
| chrols | albech: You should probably elaborate. Is the printer a network printer at a another site? Connected to another Ubuntu machine? | 11:56 |
| ne2k__ | I have just discovered do-release-upgrade and it's flipping amazing | 11:56 |
| coo|dude | guys.. what should i do if my wireless network adapter and my USB are not supported by uBuntu 8.04? | 11:56 |
| soundray | Ontolog: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.0/ | 11:56 |
| coo|dude | can it somehow use the windows drivers? | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | coo|dude, you mean your wireeless-usb adaptor? or what? | 11:56 |
| albech | chrols: its a network printer HP5000 serie | 11:56 |
| coo|dude | Dr_willis: two different things | 11:56 |
| coo|dude | wireless adapter | 11:56 |
| ne2k__ | coo|dude: use a different wireless network adapter, USB, or operating system ;-) no, seriously, there is something called ndiswrapper that lets you use some windows drivers on linux | 11:56 |
| albech | chrols: with its own IP address.. and yes at another site | 11:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | goran: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak" | 11:57 |
| brandan_ | can you change screen resolution thru the terminal? | 11:57 |
| coo|dude | lol.. ne2k__ | 11:57 |
| coo|dude | thanks.. | 11:57 |
| Ontolog | soundray: thanks | 11:57 |
| coo|dude | how do i use this ndiswrapper? | 11:57 |
| ne2k__ | brandan_: screen resolution /of/ the terminal? or of the X server? | 11:57 |
| chrols | albech: It has it's own unique IP adress? | 11:57 |
| coo|dude | i am new to uBuntu.. | 11:58 |
| brandan_ | ne2k__: I wanna change the resolution under "nvidia-settings" | 11:58 |
| albech | chrols: well own ip on the LAN over there | 11:58 |
| soundray | ne2k__: I was missing 'not using a computer' from your list of solutions | 11:58 |
| brandan_ | ne2k__: it's not letting me, and I cannot move the window enough to see it cause I' m at a tiny res now | 11:58 |
| albech | chrols: so i guess i have to forward a few ports from the router to the printer to make it work | 11:58 |
| Vixus | brandan_, that happened to me.. | 11:58 |
| brandan_ | Vixus: how to fix it? | 11:58 |
| Vixus | brandan_, you need to reinstall the restricted driver | 11:58 |
| brandan_ | Vixus: how do i go about that? | 11:59 |
| ne2k__ | brandan_: well, on linux, everything is a file, basically, so you just need to find the file with that information in it (probably in /etc/X... something somewhere) and modify it, then restart the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will kill X) | 11:59 |
| chrols | albech: I thought so. And yes you will need to forward a port or two. | 11:59 |
| ne2k__ | soundray: ;-) | 11:59 |
| albech | chrols: which ports to forward? | 11:59 |
| Vixus | brandan_, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 11:59 |

| beshrkayali | i have a problem installing ubuntu 8.4 | 12:03 |

| bazhang | :) | 12:04 |
| beshrkayali | i got the dvd... but after i click on any item from the menu... it just freeze | 12:04 |
| beshrkayali | nothing happens | 12:04 |
| beshrkayali | just black screen | 12:04 |
| chrols | albech: I'm not familiar with the printer you're dealing with but my own HP uses 631 | 12:04 |
| ne2k__ | btw, I have a question. I installed ubuntu-server on to a machine which is going to be... a server. Unfortunately, one of the programs I need to install requires X, so I wanted to put on just the basic desktop environment, but not all the games and openoffice and so on that is in ubuntu-desktop. I tried installing gnome-core, which seemed to go quite well, but it doesn't actually seem to... | 12:04 |
| ne2k__ | ...install an x server! (guess it can run remotely, huh.) so... I thought about installing xorg-server, but that doesn't seem to include any fonts, etc... so I just decided to go for ubuntu-desktop in the end. for next time, though, is there, or could someone suggest an alternative to, a "ubuntu-server-desktop" package? | 12:04 |
| chrols | albech: The only way to be 100% sure would be to reefer to the manual | 12:05 |
| beshrkayali | anyone? | 12:05 |
| joaopinto | ne2k__, you dont want a xserver. you want the x client libraries | 12:05 |
| KalimaLaptop | giews | 12:05 |
| Vixus | anyone manage to setup midi playback on their laptop? | 12:05 |
| ne2k__ | soundray: obviously, wubi is designed for noobs, and hence doesn't mention words like "virtual disks" and "loopback interfaces" and so on, but... how does it actually work? I haven't bothered to check. ;-) | 12:05 |
| EvolElm0 | hey.. gettin ubuntu on to a dell laptop.. is it normally all that hard? (never done a laptop install before) | 12:05 |
| bazhang | !midi | 12:05 |
| ubottu | Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo | 12:05 |
| Vixus | cheers | 12:06 |
| albech | chrols: you using jetdirect or raw printing? | 12:06 |
| ubuntu__ | !grub | 12:06 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 12:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | EvolElm0: usually hardest thing is wireless.. but depending ont he device, that may not bre that bad | 12:06 |
| chrols | albech: It should be Jetdirect | 12:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | EvolElm0: intel graphics are also sometimes problematic if you like eyecandy | 12:06 |
| EvolElm0 | IndyGunFreak, ahh kk awesome.. | 12:06 |
| ne2k__ | joaopinto: of course I need an X server. the third-party application is an X-based program that needs to run on the server | 12:06 |
| joaopinto | ne2k__, wubi is not designed for noobs, it is designed for people which does not want to partition their disk, and it doest support loopback mounts | 12:06 |
| EvolElm0 | IndyGunFreak, not so much.. got the desktop for that one | 12:07 |
| soundray | ne2k__: for a minimal X, install xserver-xorg-core and all the packages it recommends and suggests (apt-cache depends xserver-xorg-core) | 12:07 |
| joaopinto | ne2k__, you need a xserver only on the client system, not ton the Server itself | 12:07 |
| brandan_ | How do I get the bottom Panel back to normal, I accidently deleted it....:(=-( | 12:07 |
| brandan_ | :-( | 12:07 |
| Ontolog | soundray: thanks, I got the downgrade to work and now all is well with my js debugger | 12:07 |
| joaopinto | if you are going to run X apps from a server, but using a client display, you need the X server locally and x client libs remotely, to run those apps | 12:08 |
| [EGC-i]ThinIce | Hi all - just applied todays upgrades. Now when trying to start firefox it just outputs "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 416: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!" any ideas? I've tried rolling ff back using synaptic but no luck | 12:08 |
| bazhang | !resetpanels | brandan_ | 12:08 |
| ubottu | brandan_: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:08 |
| jesse | brandan_, right click on the top one and select "new panel" | 12:08 |
| soundray | Ontolog: I'm sure they'll make Venkman work in the final release. | 12:08 |
| ne2k__ | joaopinto: I know how X works, I have been using it for twelve years. I want an X server on the machine, because there is going to be a keyboard, mouse and monitor plugged into it and this X program is going to run on that computer and display stuff on the local screen. | 12:08 |
| joaopinto | [EGC-i]ThinIce, did you reboot after the upgrades ? I had an issue with the latest ff upgrade, had to reboot for it to work | 12:08 |
| EvolElm0 | http://jesperdj.pbwiki.com/Ubuntu+on+the+Dell+XPS+M1530 awesome! same model and specs as mine :D | 12:08 |
| jesse | brandan_, actually, do what bazhang said, twill be quicker | 12:08 |
| [EGC-i]ThinIce | yeah I rebooted, no luck :/ | 12:09 |
| ne2k__ | joaopinto: occasionally, my customer's IT people are going to walk up to it and say "hmm, that's working, good stuff" | 12:09 |
| sprudelwasser | what can I do if a src package (./configure and that stuff) wants autoconf-1.9 and I have autoconf 1.10? Is there a file where I can change that or maybe tell the bash to use automake-1.10 when automake-1.9 is called? | 12:09 |
| soundray | Ontolog: btw, you should probably disable proposed again now, otherwise it'll put you up to the release candidate again next time you do a dist-upgrade. | 12:09 |
| joaopinto | ne2k__, ok, so for you xserver-xorg should be fine | 12:09 |
| bazhang | EvolElm0, not here please | 12:09 |
| EvolElm0 | ? | 12:09 |
| Ontolog | soundray: disable proposed? where do I do this? | 12:09 |
| brandan_ | command not found? | 12:09 |
| brandan_ | what did i do wrong | 12:09 |
| bazhang | EvolElm0, best to paste those in #ubuntu-offtopic not here | 12:10 |
| EvolElm0 | its pretty related to ubuntu though | 12:10 |
| soundray | Ontolog: didn't you have to enable it to get to the rc? Check in System-Administration-Software Sources | 12:10 |
| ne2k__ | joaopinto: will that install any sort of window manager? | 12:10 |

| whileimhere | Good morning folks. I was wandering if anyone knows of a good site that helps to optimize both an Ubuntu distribution and - or a the GNOME desktop? | 12:12 |

| lejon | PennyCostco, it all depends on how you've setup ubuntu | 12:13 |
| Agion | joaopinto: does that work from desktop? I tried it but it didn't... | 12:13 |
| joaopinto | ne2k__, was not for you, sorry | 12:13 |
| ne2k__ | joaopinto: slightly freakily, I am currently installing wine ;-) | 12:13 |
| joaopinto | Agion, what error did you get ? | 12:13 |
| chrols | PennyCostco: KDE is faster as general rule | 12:13 |
| soundray | ne2k__: did you get my minimal X recommendation? | 12:13 |
| Agion | i'll pastebin it in a sec | 12:13 |
| whileimhere | TuniX12 I am sure that there are ways to get it to both boot and run faster and smoother. I have done the very basics like turning off the Apache Server and services and such but I was thinking that there had to be more hacks and tweaks. | 12:13 |
| joaopinto | Agion, you must run wine from the path your .exe is located | 12:13 |

| ne2k__ | soundray: no, maybe I'll try that. but I shouldn't have to -- this is linux! ;-) | 13:04 |
| ne2k__ | soundray: I'll try it now | 13:05 |
| eviltim | yes | 13:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | eviltim: look at the partition editor(system/admin/partition editor), and see if you see Linux partitions | 13:05 |
| abe3k | guys I have a question | 13:05 |
| soundray | ne2k__: I know, sometimes it's still useful... | 13:05 |
| ne2k__ | soundray: bbiam | 13:05 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: should he not just stick to the instructions on the wiki page? | 13:05 |
| stupidknight | dr_Willis: yea, well, I can't really since it's a webhost. | 13:05 |
| Jaffarkelshac | abe3k: ask the question | 13:05 |
| abe3k | If I have compiz-git installed | 13:06 |
| eviltim | its got 1gb in it] | 13:06 |
| abe3k | and I have it updated | 13:06 |
| stupidknight | dr_Willis: how do I check which version I've got installed? | 13:06 |
| abe3k | will it be as new as compiz fusion ? | 13:06 |
| eviltim | but it doesnt say linux | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: i agree, but he said he doesn't know if Ubuntu installed, thats why i just told him to see if he sees linux partitions, if he does, then its likely installed. | 13:06 |
| dr_Willis | stupidknight, Bummer.. whats exacty do you mean by a webhost? | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | 1gb?.. thats it | 13:06 |

| soundray | eviltim: can you try the steps described under "Quick Start" on that page? | 13:07 |
| abe3k | I used the ./compiz-git update command line | 13:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | !grub | eviltim | 13:07 |
| ubottu | eviltim: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:07 |

| abe3k | hey knight I have a question | 13:09 |
| ubottu | AwaDoV: 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).

| IndyGunFreak | you're missing something | 13:10 |

| Buyydee | Hey, I have an external Philips mp3-player on which I deleted (on windows) some files to make space. now when I try to add new data on ubuntu, it says 'not enough space'. actually nautilus tells me that the free space is 400 mb, whereas windows says it's 6 gb (which it should be after deleting the files). when I mark all files (there are no hidden ones) in nautilus and go to properties, it displays 14 gb (which leaves me with the 6gb free spa | 13:12 |
| xnv | OK, perhaps related... "$ sudo killall update-manager" results in "sudo: unable to resolve host [my hostname]". What's going on? | 13:12 |

| eviltim | It did try to install | 13:17 |
| eviltim | it said fatal error at grub | 13:17 |
| eviltim | and it booted from the cd | 13:17 |

| eviltim | ok | 13:17 |

| ffm | What's the reccomended partition type for installing on SD media? | 13:19 |
| * soundray shivers -- we didn't tell him to backup | 13:19 | |

| kripz | is there any amp packages that dont require installation and can run straight off a usb memory stick?? | 13:20 |
| sajuuk | pretty much | 13:20 |
| soundray | sajuuk: what does that mean? | 13:21 |
| prabu | im back | 13:21 |
| kdat | could please someone tell me how much time grub needs to installed? i may not wait much time | 13:21 |
| nazgjunk | anyone got experience with X messing up when you close the laptop lid? I'm sitting at a Thinkpad t60p, when I close and open the lid the screen is black except for a space somewhere in the middle that is mostly black but has some noise | 13:21 |
| sajuuk | i have a 256 mb laptop that runs at 1.6 ghz, that might be a problem... | 13:21 |
| soundray | sajuuk: there's a major difference between it never working and it working sometimes | 13:21 |
| prabu | soundray : they gave many codes but they never xxplained d how to do tat | 13:22 |
| sajuuk | OO works its just that when i save it stuffs up | 13:22 |
| ffm | kdat: 2 mins. | 13:22 |
| Buyydee | nazgjunk: my t61p does a similar thing when resuming from suspend. i just wait 3-4 seconds and then it's fine... | 13:22 |
| prabu | any other way to install kiba dock ? | 13:22 |
| soundray | prabu: it requires compiling software. If you can't cope with that, please try to live without kiba-dock for now and gather some experience first. | 13:22 |
| kdat | ffm, tahnks | 13:22 |
| ffm | kdat: np. | 13:23 |
| nazgjunk | Buyydee: doesn't work for me. I'm looking at some bug reports, seems I'm at least not the only one with this issue | 13:23 |
| sajuuk | at least it can be recovered | 13:23 |
| nazgjunk | which is sort of comfortin | 13:23 |
| Buyydee | nazgjunk: are you using the nvidia or nv display driver? | 13:23 |
| abe3k | guys is there any compiz channel ? | 13:23 |
| ffm | abe3k: /j #compiz | 13:23 |
| prabu | yeah | 13:23 |
| abe3k | thanks :) | 13:23 |
| soundray | sajuuk: you can try to reduce OOo's memory footprint by editing the settings in Tools-Options-Memory settings | 13:23 |
| nazgjunk | not that I'm aware of - shouldn't, I guess, as I have no such card | 13:23 |
| abe3k | Hi guys | 13:24 |
| abe3k | I have a question :) | 13:24 |
| sajuuk | rightio | 13:24 |
| soundray | sajuuk: the fact that it saves copies for restoring proves that it can save documents in principle. | 13:24 |
| Buyydee | nazgjunk: i see... well then you're probably using ati which is always not the best thing to do with ubuntu - i have no experience with that too, sry | 13:24 |
| sajuuk | yep | 13:24 |
| soundray | sajuuk: you're not trying to save to a network location? | 13:24 |
| sajuuk | nope to my home folder | 13:24 |
| sajuuk | i just did in terminal : metacity --replace | 13:25 |
| soundray | sajuuk: why? | 13:25 |
| eviltim | I'm sorry:I give up | 13:25 |
| sajuuk | it puts my compiz at minimum apparently, so it gives me a little more memory to work with | 13:25 |
| eviltim | This is just more trouble than its worth | 13:25 |
| sajuuk | but that is not the case | 13:26 |
| sajuuk | i will do your solution now | 13:26 |
| eviltim | Why all other installs work and mine always doesn is beyond me | 13:26 |
| sajuuk | and see what happens | 13:26 |
| eviltim | maybe ill try again in the future | 13:26 |
| soundray | eviltim: try it on another machine | 13:26 |
| lejon | eviltim, what have you tried so far? | 13:26 |
| eviltim | Apparently ubuntu just wont install grub | 13:27 |
| eviltim | it crshes teh install screen | 13:27 |

| eviltim | and doesnt install anything | 13:27 |
| eviltim | *the | 13:27 |
| sajuuk | ok im in the memory bit, what should i decrease? | 13:27 |
| Da_Putzler | Q.) is it possible to see who's connected to your wireless network in 'bunts ??? | 13:27 |
| lejon | eviltim, have you tried to manually install grub before then? | 13:27 |
| eviltim | yes | 13:27 |
| soundray | sajuuk: the number of undo steps | 13:27 |
| eviltim | it doesnt work | 13:28 |
| sajuuk | ok, i halved it | 13:28 |
| eviltim | I cant take any more frustration | 13:28 |
| sajuuk | mind you, i havent done enough steps to undo 100 steps | 13:28 |
| eviltim | maybe in a couple of years,when the installer works better | 13:28 |
| lejon | Da_Putzler, if you're router supports it you can check it in the router, I dunno if its possible through ur wireless connection, seeing as ur not administrating the network ur in, ur just connected to it | 13:28 |
| sajuuk | nope that didnt work? | 13:28 |
| === will_ is now known as wdaniels | ||
| sajuuk | work. | 13:28 |

| EvanItal | ahh, dual boot...I'm having an issue with that also | 13:29 |
| sajuuk | its an extreme | 13:29 |
| sajuuk | but I have to do it | 13:29 |
| soundray | sajuuk: 20 or so are good. Reduce the other values as well | 13:29 |
| Da_Putzler | I know winblows lets you see who's connected, but I cant figure out how to do it for 'bunts | 13:29 |
| eviltim | yes,no-one is paying atention | 13:30 |
| eviltim | goodbye for a few years | 13:30 |
| lejon | Da_Putzler, Then you should be able to through monitor mode, if ur wireless card support it, otherwise you could try to run wireshark in promiscious mode to see if anyone but ur comp sends packets through ur connection | 13:30 |
| soundray | eviltim: we're paying attention | 13:30 |
| lejon | for me dual-boot worked rather perfectly | 13:30 |
| soundray | eviltim: you should try the alternate CD | 13:30 |
| lejon | didn't have to fool around that much to get it to work | 13:31 |
| eviltim | why? | 13:31 |
| Da_Putzler | thx lejon | 13:31 |

| Pici | sajuuk: Wubi is the 'windows isntaller' | 13:37 |
| sajuuk | oh btw, i have 30gig of freespace | 13:37 |
| rabidweezle | without ctrl+alt+backspace... | 13:38 |
| sajuuk | so nothing wrong there | 13:38 |
| soundray | sajuuk: can you kill OOo, do a 'mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/openoffice.org2-backup' and try again? | 13:38 |
| eviltim | when the installer gets to the grub part (around 95 percent) it crashes | 13:38 |
| frostburn | Blue112, verify that the raid is working through the controllers bios after a reboot? | 13:38 |
| sajuuk | ok i can do that | 13:38 |
| Pici | eviltim: Grub is not an installer type, Which install are you using? | 13:38 |
| eviltim | its done this 3 times now | 13:38 |
| magnetron | Blue112: is your "hardware RAID" configured via BIOS? then it probably isn't really hardware RAID, but so called "fake-RAID". if that's the case, you really want to disable the RAID in BIOS and use software RAID instead | 13:38 |
| Blue112 | frostburn: Currently it's installing... | 13:38 |
| shawn123 | hi guys | 13:38 |
| magnetron | !raid > Blue112 | 13:38 |
| eviltim | when the live cd installer gets to 95 percent | 13:38 |
| Blue112 | magnetron: Yes, it's created by bios | 13:38 |
| shawn123 | i just installed ubuntu for my first time, | 13:38 |

| Pici | eviltim: Then take a break and come back in a few days, cya. | 13:39 |
| sajuuk | eviltim: that doesnt solve it | 13:39 |

| sajuuk | eviltim: tell these guys EVERYTHING | 13:40 |

| lejon | lol it does work, how do you otherwise think I installed it? I had some probs with it too | 13:40 |
| eviltim | Ive been telling them everything for an our now! | 13:40 |
| AwaDoV | ? | 13:40 |
| Myrtti | let's keep the eye on the ball | 13:40 |
| jianfei | get a grip! | 13:40 |
| sajuuk | ok what are you installing, Hardy Heron? | 13:41 |
| eviltim | when the live cd | 13:41 |
| eviltim | gets to 95 percent | 13:41 |
| eviltim | it crashes | 13:41 |
| EvanItal | I'm gonna give wubi a try | 13:41 |
| eviltim | thats it | 13:41 |
| sajuuk | ok | 13:41 |
| sajuuk | whats ur system specs? | 13:41 |
| eviltim | it says grub has undergone a fatal error | 13:41 |
| Myrtti | eviltim: then how about trying alternate cd | 13:41 |
| Slart | eviltim: is it the grub part? | 13:41 |
| eviltim | yes | 13:41 |
| eviltim | pentium dual-core | 13:41 |
| eviltim | 2 gigahetz | 13:41 |
| eviltim | 32 bit | 13:41 |

| eviltim | 250 gb disc | 13:42 |
| magnetron | eviltim: did you burn the iso to a CD or a DVD disc? at what speed did you burn it? did you verify it? | 13:42 |
| eviltim | sorry! | 13:42 |
| soundray | sajuuk, Myrtti, Pici: and after the installer went to 95%, he booted to live CD and pasted this fdisk -l output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19037/ | 13:42 |
| FloodBot3 | eviltim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:42 |
| rich_freecomm | I like using the alternate...it's a whole lot faster | 13:42 |
| Slart | eviltim: hmm.. not the first question about the installer dying during grub.. I assume you've checked the forums? | 13:42 |
| eviltim | Ive tryed both dvded and cds | 13:42 |
| eviltim | Ive had | 13:42 |
| eviltim | it | 13:42 |
| sajuuk | yeah i would use the alternate, eviltim | 13:42 |

| sajuuk | alternate solved many problems for me | 13:42 |
| eviltim | Im going on a vacation now | 13:43 |
| sajuuk | ok solution | 13:43 |
| sajuuk | i got it for this bug | 13:43 |
| sajuuk | its my RAM, has to be | 13:43 |
| soundray | sajuuk: how do you know? | 13:44 |
| sajuuk | i have 256 mb of ram, this is being used up by OO, and by my rhythmbox player | 13:44 |
| sajuuk | i turned off rhythmbox | 13:44 |
| sajuuk | as in quit it, and I managed to fix the problem | 13:44 |
| Myrtti | sajuuk: have you run memtest? | 13:44 |
| sajuuk | memtest via grub? | 13:44 |
| Myrtti | yup | 13:45 |
| Pici | sajuuk: Do you have swap space partitioned and in use? | 13:45 |
| magnetron | sajuuk: how large's your swap? | 13:45 |
| sajuuk | ok give me a second to access that | 13:45 |
| eviltim | ok,ill download the alternate in a few days,when i come back from my vacation | 13:45 |
| eviltim | And ill try that | 13:46 |
| eviltim | If that doesnt work,I will ask here for help | 13:46 |
| sajuuk | i cant find the damn thingy for ram and swap readouts... | 13:46 |
| gordonjcp | does anyone even use swap any more? | 13:46 |
| soundray | sajuuk: free | 13:46 |
| Blue112 | Hello again, how could I install two Apache-php-mysql version into the same pc ? | 13:46 |
| soundray | gordonjcp: yes, when they have 256MB of RAM | 13:47 |
| sajuuk | ahh | 13:47 |
| rahim123 | hi there, how can I modify just one key on my keyboard from within gnome? | 13:47 |
| sajuuk | i have 256 mb of RAM, i have to have a swap | 13:47 |
| gordonjcp | soundray: fair point | 13:47 |
| eviltim | Goodbye | 13:47 |
| sharpe | gordonjcp, I always set it up (even with 4Gb of RAM), 2Gb of HD space from 500Gb is nothing and if I ever need it better to have it than not | 13:47 |
| sajuuk | what is a swap for? | 13:47 |
| gordonjcp | soundray: all the articles I've ever read about swap talk about the extravagance of having 24MB swap when you've got 8MB RAM, kind of thing | 13:47 |
| eviltim | Goodbye | 13:47 |
| jeed | gordonjcp, i use swap and i have 4gb dual channel ddr2 | 13:47 |
| rahim123 | I would like the backspace key to be a | | 13:47 |

| sajuuk | bye tim* | 13:48 |
| ChaosTheory_ | How do I copy from Firefox to Eterm? | 13:48 |
| sharpe | >sajuuk, if the system allocates all the physical ram it can use a partition on the disk as virtual memory | 13:48 |
| sajuuk | ahh ok | 13:48 |
| ChaosTheory_ | It seems like shift insert does Eterm <--> Eterm only. | 13:48 |
| soundray | Bet he'll be back in a minute | 13:48 |
| sharpe | >sajuuk, downside is than hd speeds are 2 orders of magnitude lower than RAM | 13:48 |
| Blue112 | How could I install two Apache-php-mysql version into the same pc ? | 13:48 |
| jeed | Blue112, just put them in different places | 13:48 |
| soundray | ChaosTheory_: try highlight - middle mouse button | 13:48 |
| Blue112 | jeed: How do I do that ? | 13:49 |
| rahim123 | sajuuk: try sysctl vm.swappiness=5 if you dont want it to use the swap unless absolutely necessary | 13:49 |
| sajuuk | rightio, i didnt get that last bit, sharpe :) i just take that the HDD runs slower? | 13:49 |
| ChaosTheory_ | soundray: HOLY COW thats awesome. O_O | 13:49 |
| sajuuk | ok my 'free' read out came out with | 13:49 |
| sharpe | >sajuuk, roughly yes, a good single HD will transfer 50-60Mb/s, average RAM in a mediocre machine ~5000Mb/s | 13:49 |
| sharpe | a high end machine nearer 10,000Mb/s | 13:49 |
| soundray | ChaosTheory_ has just discovered mouse button pasting :) | 13:49 |
| jeed | Blue112, with package managers you usually cant, but most hosting enviroments like to source compile all their stuff and then you get to choose where it goes | 13:49 |
| sajuuk | 3mb free for ramm and a good 500 mb for my swap | 13:50 |
| sajuuk | that might be a problem | 13:50 |
| joe_ | is there a howto on getting evolution filtering junk mail? i searched the ubuntu forums and installed + started spamassasin | 13:50 |
| joe_ | but alas it doesnt filter | 13:50 |
| soundray | sajuuk: how much swap is used? | 13:50 |
| Blue112 | jeed: Source compiling is long and makes problem (depencies) | 13:50 |
| sajuuk | not much, 176 mb out of the 698 | 13:50 |
| sajuuk | whilst i have a full ram chip | 13:50 |
| soundray | sajuuk: that's not too bad. | 13:51 |
| sharperguy | When I plug my media player in (in GNOME), Rhythmbox automatically starts up and opens it. Is it possible to configure ubuntu so the same happens with amarok instead? | 13:51 |
| jeed | Blue112, not long if your a hosting server, and its pretty trivial to install a few dependancies and in turn get better security and control over your business :) | 13:51 |
| soundray | sajuuk: but if you can upgrade, it's definitely worth doing | 13:51 |
| sajuuk | do what? | 13:51 |
| sajuuk | upgrade what? sorry i totally missed what u r referring to | 13:51 |
| soundray | sharperguy: System-Preferences-Removable drives and media | 13:51 |
| soundray | sajuuk: the amount of RAM | 13:52 |
| sajuuk | ahh | 13:52 |
| sharperguy | soundray, thanks | 13:52 |
| abe3k | hi guys | 13:52 |
| cq | hello, what's teh best way to back up a system? Is it possible to just rsync everything to another disk, or is that hard because of active components like a DB etc. | 13:52 |
| cq | ? | 13:52 |
| sajuuk | I dont think that will happen :) its a 4yr old laptop with ddr 1 ram in it | 13:52 |
| Blue112 | jeed: And what about if I need very accurate apache version ? | 13:52 |
| taufiq_ilm | exit | 13:52 |
| jeed | Blue112, then download and compile the source for it, wheres the problem? | 13:52 |
| joaopinto | cq, for DBs you must use a db specific tool | 13:53 |
| soundray | cq: rsync is fine for backing up. Databases should be backed up separately IMO | 13:53 |
| soundray | !backup | cq | 13:53 |
| ubottu | cq: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 13:53 |
| cq | thanks | 13:53 |
| soundray | !sbackup | cq | 13:53 |
| ubottu | cq: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 13:53 |
| voy | I have a problem with my netcard. I downloaded ieee80211-1.2.8 and tried to update it on my Ubuntu Hardy. As part of the make procedure, it suggested that I removed the old ieee80211 that I had installed and proceeded with compiling, but the compiling failed and now my netcard wont work. It reports missing symbols. How can I fix this? | 13:53 |
| cq | I just want the system synced to an external disk | 13:53 |
| cq | I don't need incrementals | 13:53 |
| joaopinto | Blue112, it is very unlikely that you need a version newer than the one available on the repos | 13:53 |
| sajuuk | random question does kde use less RAM than GNOME? | 13:54 |
| Blue112 | joaopinto: I need an older version | 13:54 |
| soundray | cq: have a look at rsync docs -- very useful. unison is interesting, too | 13:54 |
| Blue112 | The 2.0.55 | 13:54 |
| sharperguy | soundray, that doesn't seem to have an option for media devices | 13:54 |
| soundray | sajuuk: no | 13:54 |
| jeed | Blue112, why? | 13:54 |
| cq | soundray- I use rsync for data backups all teh time, just wondering if it does entire systems, or the DBs cause a problem etc. | 13:55 |
| mason420 | c.etree.org | 13:55 |
| sajuuk | weird, cos i can play rhythm box and have a whole lot more stuff open and still save work via OO | 13:55 |
| Blue112 | jeed: Cause it's the "stable" version that I currently use. | 13:55 |
| soundray | sharperguy: oops, indeed, it doesn't on hardy. It used to in gutsy. Sorry, I don't know then. | 13:55 |
| jeed | Blue112, then wheres your problem? :S | 13:55 |
| joaopinto | cq, doing a filesystem based backup of a DB will most likely get you an inconsistent restore | 13:56 |
| ashish | how to record the audio from mms | 13:56 |
| Blue112 | I have a new server | 13:56 |
| legend2440 | sharperguy: in hardy open nautilus then edit>prefs>media but no easy way to change default apps to use | 13:56 |
| cq | joaopinto: ok, so backup the system with Rsync, ignore DBs and back them up separately | 13:56 |
| Blue112 | and I want it to have the repositories apache version AND the same version that the older | 13:56 |
| Blue112 | :) | 13:56 |
| joaopinto | cq, yes | 13:56 |
| cq | simple enough, thanks | 13:56 |
| sajuuk | oh another question, KDE doesn't detect some of my external drives, such as my memory stick, Ipod and such | 13:56 |
| sajuuk | but GNOME does | 13:57 |
| sharperguy | legend2440, hmm, i see. Is there a gconf thing I can change maybe? | 13:57 |
| cecko | what am i doing wrong? "sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -n 4g /dev/mmcblk0p1" says "unable to open /dev/mmcblk0p1" | 13:57 |
| cecko | it is umounted | 13:58 |
| jeed | Blue112, youll have to src compile one way or the other, use a package manager and itll screw it up | 13:58 |
| cecko | an SD card | 13:58 |
| Blue112 | jeed: Where do I find the 2.0.55 apache src ? | 13:58 |
| Myrtti | cecko: how about mkfs.vfat? | 13:58 |
| soundray | cecko: it should have a /dev/sd? device name assigned to it | 13:58 |
| jeed | Blue112, the apache site? itll surely have archives | 13:59 |
| cecko | soundray it does not qtparted/gparted does not see it at all | 13:59 |
| joaopinto | cecko, that that device get shown when you do a sudo fdisk -l ? | 13:59 |
| jeed | Blue112, seems they have 2.0.63, isnt that close enough? | 13:59 |
| legend2440 | sharperguy: no. but here is an example of how to change video player to vlc. its pretty stupid that they left out an easy way to do it but oh well http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770970 | 13:59 |
| joaopinto | if the partition is not "seen", you can't format it | 14:00 |
| soundray | cecko: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see what happens when you insert the card | 14:00 |
| alexfire | heyy | 14:00 |
| sharperguy | legend2440, gmm, ok i'll have a look at this | 14:00 |
| cecko | joaopinto it does | 14:00 |
| jrib | legend2440: it's a fault of the .desktop file for vlc | 14:00 |
| jeed | Blue112, http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.0.55.tar.bz2 | 14:00 |
| jeed | google is good | 14:00 |
| cecko | soundray is this any useful? "mmcblk1: mmc0:b368" then "mmcblk1: p1" | 14:01 |
| archie | hello | 14:02 |
| archie | anybody home? | 14:02 |
| dr_Willis | archie, just us penguins | 14:02 |
| cecko | joaopinto it lists only /dev/mmcblk1p1 | 14:03 |
| voy | Is it possible to check which package a certain file belongs too, for instance ieee80211_crypt.ko? | 14:03 |
| dr_Willis | !find ieee80211_crypt.ko | 14:03 |
| ubottu | File ieee80211_crypt.ko found in linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic, linux-image-2.6.24-16-openvz, linux-image-2.6.24-16-rt, linux-image-2.6.24-16-server (and 1 others) | 14:03 |
| voy | great :) | 14:03 |
| soundray | cecko: what does 'sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -n 4g /dev/mmcblk1p1' give you? | 14:03 |
| dr_Willis | voy, the apt tools can do that. :) or the bot here.. seems to be in the kernel image packages.. | 14:03 |
| voy | thx for that dr_Willis | 14:03 |
| LaneLimited | Hello everyone.. Simple question here I hope... Anyone know why when I load then try to RESTORE Amarok music player rand organizer it decides to log me out of ubuntu???!!! | 14:04 |
| Blue112 | jeed: Ok, the two version are compiling... I have to do the same with php I guess ? But the, how can I say to apache to use a php version or an other ? | 14:04 |
| cecko | soundray mkdosfs: unable to open /dev/mmcblk1p1 | 14:04 |
| archie | am totally new to ubuntu.. just upgraded my hardy... soooo great!! hehe | 14:05 |
| soundray | cecko: it's not a SDHC device that you're trying to use in an SD-only reader? | 14:05 |
| jeed | Blue112, use --prefix= in the configure line and do something like, put apache in /usr/local/apache with its php in /usr/local/apache/php and put the others in /usr/local/apache2 and /usr/local/apache2/php, then they dont go near eachother | 14:05 |
| inertial | hey anyone using a 64 bit build of firefox 3 beta 5 on linux? | 14:05 |
| Drittponken | when using iwconfig, why doesnt it connect to the ap. i cant use "commit" | 14:05 |
| adam7 | inertial: yeah | 14:06 |
| lejon | inertial, yes | 14:06 |
| soundray | inertial: yes | 14:06 |
| inertial | adam7, lejon, soundray can you guys have a look at this bug for me? check the testcase and see what happens https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436485 | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Mozilla bug 436485 in Layout "Specific Chinese character at font size 10 causes page not to render on 64 bit Linux build" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 14:06 |
| cecko | soundray I guess not, it says High speed 150x SD (4 gigs), my laptop is little over 2 years old thinkpad | 14:06 |
| Blue112 | jeed: Ok, for the prefix, it's what I've done. I'll try that with php. | 14:07 |
| jeed | Blue112, aslong as you dont mix their configs and libs, youll be fine, tested method | 14:07 |
| cecko | soundray but the reader is probably not sdhc | 14:08 |
| adam7 | inertial: yeah, I'm getting the same thing | 14:08 |
| inertial | adam7: ah, good to know it's not just me | 14:08 |
| lejon | inertial, the tab froze when I tried to open the testcase | 14:08 |
| coobster | hi guys | 14:08 |
| lejon | hi mate | 14:08 |
| inertial | lejon: yep that's what i'm getting too | 14:08 |
| coobster | im trying to install ubuntu on my dell desktop | 14:08 |
| lejon | inertial, weir | 14:08 |
| lejon | weird* | 14:08 |
| inertial | lejon: now i need to see if it's not just ubuntu | 14:08 |
| adam7 | inertial: that's rather irritating ;) | 14:08 |
| coobster | but it only gets so far then the graphics are all messed | 14:08 |
| coobster | can anyone help me? | 14:08 |
| inertial | lejon: i'm considering spending a lot of time trying to fix it so i'm just confirming it.. | 14:08 |
| soundray | cecko: so perhaps try with a sdhc reader? | 14:09 |
| lejon | coobster, try to explain more what the problem is | 14:09 |
| coobster | im trying to install the latest version of ubuntu.... | 14:09 |
| Blue112 | jeed: I don't have a php directory on the apache directory... Should I create it ? | 14:09 |
| coobster | i chose to install ubuntu | 14:09 |
| lejon | inertial, hehe yeah, would suck if its just you that have the issue and then you've spent hours and hours to fix it for hardly any use :P | 14:09 |
| coobster | it shows ubuntu logo screen splash screen | 14:09 |
| soundray | coobster: keep it all on one line please | 14:09 |
| ne2k__ | who was I chatting to earlier about PPTP? I lost my irc history when I rebooted | 14:09 |
| coobster | after that my monitor displays whole bunch of green lines | 14:09 |
| lejon | !enter | coobster | 14:09 |
| ubottu | coobster: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:09 |
| jeed | Blue112, php will create it if its not there when you specify --prefix= for it | 14:09 |
| soundray | ne2k__: me | 14:09 |
| coobster | is their like a safe mode i would be looking for? | 14:09 |
| Blue112 | Ok thanks | 14:09 |
| lejon | well, do you come to the login window? | 14:10 |
| coobster | no | 14:10 |
| coobster | i havent even installed it yet....but i'am trying to.... | 14:10 |
| ne2k__ | soundray: ah yes, that's the nick! how you doing? I rebooted and it all came up perfectly. No problems at all. thanks for your help. should I report this as a bug? | 14:10 |
| coobster | the computer got a nvidia 6800 256mb video card if that helps | 14:11 |

| Agion | Can anyone help me with my Enemy Territory, it doesn't work properly. It goes down when I try to connect a server | 14:11 |
| lejon | coobster, hmm, it sounds like you've got problems either with ur monitor or card, have you checked the CD integrity? | 14:12 |
| coobster | wait | 14:12 |
| Pezi | xchat crashes.. | 14:12 |
| coobster | i am trying to do a safe grapics mode..i didint see that option till now | 14:12 |
| lejon | did you burn it on the lowest speed you have available on ur burner? | 14:12 |
| Pezi | grr | 14:12 |
| joaopinto | Agion, erm, wine or native ? | 14:12 |
| lejon | Yeah, that might help | 14:12 |
| jeroen__ | hello | 14:12 |
| soundray | ne2k__: not sure whether you should report it or not. It'll be hard to reproduce... We should have checked whether logging out & in would have been enough, or even just reloading nm-applet | 14:12 |
| coobster | i got vista on it now..and it works without a problem so i doubt my monitor or vid card | 14:12 |
| Agion | joaopinto: native | 14:13 |
| lejon | hi Jeroen__ | 14:13 |
| joaopinto | Agion, run it from the terminal and check for any error messages | 14:13 |
| lejon | as far as I know vista doesn't like when you dual boot, search the forum for dual-boot howto, there are quite a few | 14:13 |
| Agion | when it goes down? | 14:13 |
| coobster | i hope ill like ubuntu more than vista | 14:13 |
| Pezi | My Java wont work.. i just install it with synaptic and nothing happens. about:plugins show nothing about java | 14:13 |
| lejon | vista is a pain if you want my opinion xD | 14:13 |
| jeroen__ | can someone tell me iff gps is working in Buntu 8.4? | 14:14 |
| adam7 | Pezi: are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 14:14 |
| joaopinto | lejon, vista has no problems with dual boot | 14:14 |

| soundray | jeroen__: satellite navigation? | 14:14 |
| lejon | joaopinto, my friend have had problems with vista and dual-booting and ive heard several others have it too | 14:14 |
| jeroen__ | @soundray yes | 14:14 |
| Agion | joaopinto: no error messages when opening the game... | 14:14 |

| lejon | no problem mate :) join the club :P | 14:15 |
| jeed | i never had a problem with linux+ vista dual boot using grub | 14:15 |
| soundray | jeroen__: if you have a device that delivers NMEA codes, then yes, there is Ubuntu software that will read it. | 14:15 |
| joaopinto | lejon, that is most like a lack of understanding (user's problem) | 14:15 |

| AlexCONRAD | hi, how to I make my network card to be "activated" during boot ? which parameter should I change from the config file ? | 14:15 |
| joaopinto | Agion, I mean, when you try to connect to the server, maybe you get some msg on the terminal | 14:16 |
| gordonjcp | AlexCONRAD: What exactly are you trying to do? | 14:16 |
| jeroen__ | i'm a fanatic biker and if im gonna bike 150km i want to preprogram my gps | 14:16 |
| lejon | joaopinto, I doubt that, I go in a computer specialized school and the friend is a programmer in the same school :P so its not that, its just that everytime he had run ubuntu, he had to run vista with "the last good runing config" | 14:16 |
| soundray | jeroen__: what's your device? | 14:16 |
| jeroen__ | still looking to buy one Soundray | 14:16 |

| eix | nobody got this error? :( Kernel Panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt | 14:18 |
| lejon | joaopinto, Ive heard that there is, and got confirmation that it dislikes dual-booting (like XP does too -.-) | 14:18 |
| PPKuma | hi, do you guys know how to make shortcuts in terminal commands? I'm tired of typing "gnome-terminal" and wish i could only type "term" | 14:18 |
| AlexCONRAD | gordonjcp: after an automatic (preseed) install, going in Applications > System > Network shows that my eth0 is not enabled by default. How can I change this? Really my question is: when i'll check the "enable this conection" checkbox, which setting/config file is it modifing on disk so I can reproduce this setup on my automated installation disk (customized alternate CD) | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | eix, that is a severe problem, either because of a kernel bug, a fault driver, or an hw fault | 14:18 |
| lejon | joaopinto, its all just to configure both OSes a little and you get it to work, Ive had to do that | 14:18 |
| soundray | jeroen__: most all-in-one satnavs come only with Windows software. It's difficult to maintain them with Linux (planning routes, uploading maps etc.) | 14:18 |
| Agion | joaopinto: any ideas? How could I shut down the game when it errors to see the error? | 14:18 |
| jeroen__ | @soundray so its not a good idea? | 14:19 |
| joaopinto | Agion, if you run it from the terminal in case there is an error it should be logged there | 14:19 |
| Myrtti | !list | 14:19 |
| Myrtti | so | 14:19 |
| joaopinto | if you quit from the game you should be able to see it | 14:19 |

| soundray | jeroen__: I maintain my Tomtom from Mac OS X. Don't know whether the Windows software would run in wine | 14:20 |
| jeroen__ | ah ok | 14:20 |
| lejon | jeroen__, its probably worth a shot to test if it works with wine | 14:20 |
| jeroen__ | @lejon thanks ! | 14:20 |

| Pezi | ? | 14:22 |
| john_ | can i have different backgrounds in different workspaces | 14:23 |
| joaopinto | Pezi, that should not make a difference | 14:23 |
| Pezi | agree that | 14:23 |
| lejon | theFATMAN, there is a integrated theme installer in gnome, you can get to it if you go to system>preferences>apperance | 14:23 |
| Pezi | but it doesnt still work | 14:23 |
| jeroen__ | ok now i'm gonna look for mapsource software | 14:23 |
| theFATMAN | lejon: thank you, i overlooked it somehow | 14:23 |
| lejon | theFATMAN, there you can customize ur own theme | 14:23 |
| lejon | theFATMAN, no problem ;) | 14:24 |
| john_ | can i have different backgrounds in different workspaces | 14:24 |
| putti | not on gnome john | 14:24 |
| lejon | john_, I think not | 14:24 |
| lejon | john_, maybe if you manage to get the system to recognize them as different desktop and not just a clone of the first desktop | 14:25 |
| john_ | is it possible in kde | 14:25 |
| jeroen__ | do i need mapsource or are ther freeware applications? | 14:25 |

| prabu | hi lejon | 14:27 |
| lejon | john_, what did you not get? How it works? or that it didn't work with different desktop backgrounds? | 14:27 |
| Pezi | Why everytime when i open synaptic ask to update prog list? | 14:28 |
| lejon | Pezi, so that when you do a search the list is always up to date | 14:28 |
| lejon | pezi, so that you always can find the latest packages | 14:28 |
| jeroen__ | in gps drive how do i import the netherlands map? | 14:28 |

| Theo_ | In shell scripts how do you go to a particular part of the script? in windows batch files its goto place1 and the script will go there and do that part of it | 14:32 |
| sharpe | what type of script, BASH? | 14:33 |
| Theo_ | yeah | 14:33 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Theo_: you're wanting to do loops? Or are you wanting to perform a function? | 14:33 |
| legend2440 | synttry it a few times and try with other shift key a few times | 14:33 |
| Theo_ | loops | 14:33 |
| legend2440 | synt try it a few times and try with other shift key a few times | 14:33 |
| joaopinto | Theo_, there is no such feature on bash, "goto" is banned from structured programming | 14:33 |
| sharpe | function do_something { commands } then just call do_something in the script | 14:33 |
| Lunar_Lamp | I think you might need to read a basic introduction to bash scripting - there are a fair few out there if you google. | 14:34 |
| Theo_ | why is it banned? windows still has it? | 14:34 |
| sharpe | sorry should have said, goto is replaced with functions since bash isnt a retarded basic clone ;) | 14:34 |
| sharpe | Theo, windows doesnt have goto, windows scripting language does which says a great deal about MS | 14:34 |
| prabu | any1 using kiba dock ??? | 14:34 |
| Theo_ | thanks | 14:34 |
| joaopinto | Theo_, erm, I mean it is considered to be a bad practice, a well structured algorithm does not "go to" :P | 14:35 |
| Theo_ | but in mine at the end of my script it says "there was a problem. hit enter to try again" how do i make it try again? | 14:35 |
| sharpe | goto is considered a dangerous command in *any* program language since it allows you to escape from any block of code and are unpredictable, you can jump from any point to any other point | 14:36 |
| aron_ | Aron Xie | 14:36 |
| sharpe | of course goto can be useful but you need to be sufficently competent to know when its acceptible to use a goto | 14:36 |
| joaopinto | TheFool, try again implies a loop, something that you repeat until the answer is "no" | 14:36 |
| joaopinto | read about creating loops | 14:36 |
| sharpe | only time I (rarely) use them is to escape from a deeply nested function | 14:36 |
| GibbaTheHutt | is there a way to add directorys to the "places" menu in gnome to customise it ? | 14:36 |
| Theo_ | ok i will research loops, thanks for all the help | 14:37 |

| Lunar_Lamp | Sorry, that "gnome-terminal" should be in single quotes: 'gnome-terminal' | 14:47 |

| daftykins | hi all, i have my server's NTFS windows drives mounted via SMB on my ubuntu 8.04 64-bit install, but the character encoding is causing issues. | 14:47 |

| daftykins | i've got a music folder of the band "KoRn" but with the backwards "R" and it fails to read it and the contents within | 14:47 |
| daftykins | any solutions? | 14:47 |
| L7D | hello i´m from argentina | 14:48 |
| Chosen320 | Thanks... I'll chat to dbmoodb1 | 14:48 |
| dbmoodb1 | daftykins: amarok it :) | 14:48 |
| daftykins | ja i'm using amarok | 14:48 |
| L7D | oh thanks for the welcome | 14:48 |
| dbmoodb1 | well why not just fix the naming | 14:48 |
| daftykins | but it's a file system issue, not a player issue | 14:48 |
| erUSUL | !es | L7D | 14:48 |
| ubottu | L7D: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 14:48 |
| Lunar_Lamp | daftykins: you might want to try the samba channel - that is probably not ubuntu specific, and I'm not sure of the way to edit samba encoding issues, but I'm sure it's a simple config file edit. | 14:48 |
| daftykins | yeah i have temporarily renamed them to fix, but i'm a perfectionist ;) | 14:48 |
| daftykins | ok thanks Lunar_Lamp | 14:49 |
| daftykins | good idea | 14:49 |
| L7D | <@ ubottu @>· thanks, but i´m trying to talk in english | 14:49 |

| danbhfive | !sources > Keddy | 14:53 |
| ^ick | praz: whats the problem? | 14:53 |
| praz | i followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ to get the sound to work | 14:54 |
| praz | and it isn't | 14:54 |
| Zubbb | hello, someone is using hardy php5 (version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1)? it seems like it has a bug interpreting HEREDOC string syntax... can someone try and see if this ( http://pastebin.org/42803 ) runs well on it? | 14:54 |
| praz | not quite sure what to do next... | 14:54 |
| funkyHat | Keddy: put the DVD in the drive, and in the package manager click on Tools > Repositories. On the 'Ubuntu Software' tab at the bottom you should be able to add the DVD to the list of used repositories | 14:55 |
| daftykins | back shortly | 14:56 |

| PPKuma | Lunar_Lamp i just add it the alias to my bashrc file. Does this modification work when i run the command with alt+f2? | 14:56 |
| PPKuma | *Will this | 14:56 |
| gomez_ | buonasera | 14:57 |
| Lunar_Lamp | PPKuma: no, it won't. | 14:57 |
| xTOGx | ok, so i'm stuck at install software. any suggestions? | 14:57 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Alt+F2 is not a terminal, sorry, I think we may have misunderstood you. | 14:57 |
| xTOGx | i mean, do i need to finish the "install software" step or is that just for extrs? | 14:57 |
| Lunar_Lamp | The alias will only work when you type it in a terminal (which is why I wondered why you wanted to do it) | 14:58 |
| PPKuma | I see... | 14:58 |
| rouini | how to | 14:58 |
| PPKuma | any idea on how to do it? | 14:58 |
| danbhfive | Zubbb: I tested it, and it fails, but if you use a diff terminating string, its fine | 14:58 |
| Lunar_Lamp | PPKuma: are you sure that creating a launcher (icon) to click isn't a better solution? | 14:59 |
| poosenki | i just updated firefox and now it doesn't seem to launch anymore. does anyone else have the same problem? | 14:59 |
| PPKuma | Lunar_Lamp: i already have one... but im a mouse detractor. | 14:59 |
| rouini | is there a web browser better than firefox | 14:59 |
| putti | no | 14:59 |
| xnv | What's the right file for adding environment variables and stuff? .profile, .bashrc? | 14:59 |
| PPKuma | rouini: no NO! NOT EVER! | 14:59 |
| erUSUL | !best | rouini | 14:59 |
| ubottu | rouini: 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. | 14:59 |
| Guest62013 | I've used Opera with Ubuntu an found it quite satisfactory | 15:00 |
| genii | rouini: Firefox which has been optimised for your system. | 15:00 |
| PPKuma | rouini: j/k there's a lot of browsers, check out Opera and Safari, they are pretty neat too | 15:00 |
| xTOGx | why might i run into a problem in the (select and install software) portion of my xubuntu installation? | 15:00 |
| putti | safari is not for linux | 15:00 |
| rohan | i just saw that firefox has been updated to rc1. i can't see the logic - if the final release is going to be out soon, then why update to rc1? | 15:00 |
| rohan | and if at all update, why to rc1, and not rc2? | 15:01 |
| Guest62013 | Isn't Safari for Apple? | 15:01 |
| putti | OSX and windows | 15:01 |
| sharpe | >rohan, standard way of doing it | 15:01 |
| danbhfive | Zubbb: are you posting a bug report? | 15:01 |
| andersfeder | rohan: how do you see its RC1? i cant even see the version number | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | rohan: rc1 is only aviable on proposed for beta esting afaics | 15:01 |
| Zubbb | danbhfive, it works on other php5 servers and on php4 | 15:01 |
| sharpe | it goes Alpha, Beta, RC, Release, or if your MS, Alpha, Release | 15:01 |
| rohan | andersfeder: apt-cache version firefox | 15:01 |
| Zubbb | danbhfive, will do it | 15:01 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: some people like Opera which you might like to test. It's free, but closed source. | 15:01 |
| stupidknight | can somebody explain this to me, why is it happening? http://pastebin.com/m77337d7 | 15:01 |
| andersfeder | rohan: ok ok, ty | 15:01 |
| rohan | andersfeder: err i am sorry - apt-cache policy firefox-3.0 | 15:01 |
| danbhfive | Zubbb: do you know what the bug is? | 15:01 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: others enjoy using Konqueror and Epipheny (KDE and Gnome browsers respectively) | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | rohan: sorry i see it on update now | 15:02 |
| rohan | erUSUL: so, i don't have proposed enabled, yet i'm getting it | 15:02 |
| rohan | right :) | 15:02 |
| danbhfive | Zubbb: can you post the link of your bug report? | 15:02 |
| pjotr | galeon | 15:02 |
| Zubbb | danbhfive, when i file it | 15:02 |
| camason | hi guys | 15:02 |
| leonardo | qa | 15:03 |
| xTOGx | anyone know anything about installing xubuntu? | 15:03 |
| nickrud | stupidknight have you checked to see if ubuntu-keyring is installed? | 15:03 |
| leonardo | cerco il canale in italiano , qualcuno sa aiutarmi? | 15:03 |
| RADEON | IRC.TIN.IT | 15:03 |
| magnetron | !it | leonardo | 15:03 |
| ubottu | leonardo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 15:03 |
| rohan | also, i did aptitude dist-upgrade and it wants to install lot of new python related packages, and apturl. which update is causing this? | 15:04 |
| leonardo | grazie | 15:04 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: if you install nautilus-open-terminal and reboot it adds a context menu so when you right click you have option Open Terminal from any folder. eliminates need for cd to folder and you can click it twice and have two instances of terminal open | 15:04 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: ah, installing the ubuntu-keyring helped, didn't think of that since it asked for debian-keyring :) new to this, tanks! | 15:04 |
| rouini | lunar_lamp :how make skype works better | 15:05 |
| nickrud | legend2440 not necessary to reboot, just alt-f2 killall nautilus (restarts nautilus) will do | 15:05 |
| PPKuma | legend2440: that's rich, should i install it with apt-get? | 15:05 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: define "better" - what's not working with it at the moment? | 15:05 |
| legend2440 | nickrud: ok thanks | 15:06 |
| PPKuma | wouldn be a way to make the shortcut (term -> gnome-terminal) with a symbolic link? | 15:06 |
| legend2440 | PPKuma: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal | 15:06 |
| idolguy | I've been using Ubuntu for 2 weeks now and find it to be an exceptional operating system. | 15:07 |
| rohan | idolguy: great :) | 15:07 |
| nickrud | PPKuma you can assign a keycombo to open the terminal, but it opens in the home directory | 15:07 |
| PPKuma | idolguy: why 'idol'? do you dig japanese idols? xD | 15:07 |
| rouini | LUNAR_LAMP:is there a software work like skype | 15:07 |
| xTOGx | ok, this is my 5th time trying to install xubuntu. i've tried different mirror sites. every one has said it's a successful burn. i've tried the alternate install cd. i've had problems almost every step of the way | 15:07 |
| xTOGx | and now i'm stuck on "select and install software" | 15:08 |
| xTOGx | it just won't do it | 15:08 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: how about this issue, maybe you could help me with this one aswell, http://pastebin.com/d40420ffe | 15:08 |
| daftykins | so stop using a modified version of ubuntu... | 15:08 |
| daftykins | and use the normal... | 15:08 |
| idolguy | Lol, PPKuma...just a nickname I've had for years... | 15:08 |
| daftykins | surely you're not that desperate to use xfce. | 15:08 |
| icqnumber | rouini, there is skype | 15:08 |
| PPKuma | idolguy: oh, ok xD | 15:08 |
| ASULutzy | daftykins: xubuntu is easier on resources | 15:08 |
| daftykins | i know | 15:08 |
| ASULutzy | daftykins: Maybe that's why he needs to use it | 15:08 |
| daftykins | doesn't mean he can't install normal, then put xfce on that | 15:08 |
| xTOGx | it says "running tasksel" then "please wait" then it goes straight to INSTLLATION STEP FAILED | 15:08 |
| PPKuma | nickrud: ok, but i've grow esceptical with the keycombo... lately amarok is having problems with them. | 15:09 |
| daftykins | interesting | 15:09 |
| xTOGx | and the bright red screen is starting to scare the children | 15:09 |
| idolguy | Any long term disadvantages to using Wubi versus dual-booting Ubuntu on it's own partition? | 15:09 |
| nickrud | stupidknight try installing libapache2-mod-php5 | 15:09 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: you can install skype in ubuntu, but new ubuntu installs come with an equivalent application by default - but I've forgotten it's name. | 15:09 |
| stupidknight | yea, I do, but that' doesn't work either? | 15:09 |
| nickrud | PPKuma ah, that's kde, whaddya expect ;) | 15:09 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: line 21 | 15:09 |
| ASULutzy | idolguy: Yes, it's a bit more dangerous. A loss of power while running will be much worse than running it's own dedicated ext3 partition | 15:09 |
| sharpe | idol, a couple occur, since your hosting linux inside windows you are still weaker froma security point of view | 15:10 |
| xTOGx | is it possible that there's a problem with tasksel that it doesn't want to run? | 15:10 |
| sharpe | if you want to go solely linux you'll need to re-install | 15:10 |
| ASULutzy | idolguy: Wubi is not a long term solution, some Windows updates have the potential to hose it | 15:10 |
| PPKuma | nickrud: hmmm... that explains a lot... so, how do i make the combokey? | 15:10 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: It gives me the error that I don't have PHP5, Yet I do when I go installing php5 | 15:10 |
| rouini | how to extract iso image in ubuntu | 15:10 |
| daftykins | the release you downloaded should have been labelled broken and not been available to use if setup wouldn't even work xTOGx | 15:10 |
| poosenki | i just updated firefox and now it doesn't launch. does anyone else have the same issue? | 15:10 |
| nickrud | PPKuma system->prefs->keyboard shortcuts, look for open the terminal. | 15:10 |
| ne2k__ | ASULutzy: why is that? how does wubi work? | 15:10 |
| idolguy | Hmm. Can I convert my installation to a partioned system without losing my saved data/bookmarks/programs? | 15:11 |
| daftykins | delete ".mozilla" in your home folder poosenki | 15:11 |
| ASULutzy | ne2k__: There's a nice wiki article that can sum it up much better than I can, let me find it | 15:11 |
| PPKuma | nickrud: hmmm pretty cool, thanks a lot :) | 15:11 |
| ne2k__ | idolguy: well, you could back up the /home directory to an external disk and then restore it, if nothing else | 15:11 |
| ASULutzy | ne2k__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu) | 15:11 |
| xTOGx | i need to know before i finish my installation if anyone knows that not installig the software will screw the pooch | 15:11 |
| nickrud | stupidknight there's an error about unmatching packages, php5-common not being correct. Sounds like mismatched sources. put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin | 15:11 |
| nickrud | stupidknight didn't read far enough down, sorry :) | 15:11 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: :) np | 15:12 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: one sec. | 15:12 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: it's called ekiga! That's the one, ekiga is a free skype-like applicatin that comes with ubutnu. | 15:12 |
| rouini | lunar_lamp: thank you my friend | 15:13 |
| ASULutzy | If you have a wubi install and want to move it to a dedicated partition, you can follow this article http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 15:13 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: got stuck in the "spam" filter. http://rafb.net/p/5d6Crj19.html | 15:13 |
| poosenki | daftkins: alright, i tried that, but it still doesn't open | 15:13 |
| stupidknight | commented out the top once now only to try the earlier once | 15:13 |
| ne2k__ | ASULutzy: cool. it says it's a file on windows -- does that mean it's reliant on the NTFS support in linux? I thought that was a bit iffy | 15:13 |
| rouini | lunar_lamp: how to extract ISO image in Ubuntu | 15:13 |
| daftykins | you folder was definitely entirely deleted? | 15:13 |
| ASULutzy | ne2k__: NTFS support has come a long long way, I would consider NTFS to be 100% supported now? | 15:14 |
| onats | my recently upgraded 8.04 fails to hibernate... how can i start to resolve this issue? what log files do i have to look at? | 15:14 |
| icqnumber | !iso | rouini | 15:14 |
| ubottu | rouini: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 15:14 |
| nickrud | stupidknight ok, those are really crippled sources. A sec | 15:14 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: extract? Do you want to burn it, mount it, read the contents? | 15:14 |
| ne2k__ | ASULutzy: ok, I must be on old info | 15:14 |
| daftykins | i wouldn't say 100% | 15:14 |
| ASULutzy | ne2k__: I read and write to most of my shared hard drives (which are NTFS) all day without any problems | 15:14 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: nice | 15:14 |
| ASULutzy | daftykins: Why not? | 15:15 |
| idolguy | Ubuntu has had quite good NTFS support for the 2 weeks I've been using it. | 15:15 |
| daftykins | 'cause it'll continue to change, such as with Vista etc, and i don't think Ubuntu would set up NTFS mounts as read only if it was perfect | 15:15 |
| daftykins | 100% to me means perfect | 15:15 |
| ASULutzy | I remember back in the day it was like the end of the world if you mounted NTFS in anything other than read only mode, but now there's really no problem so far as I can tell | 15:15 |
| daftykins | hehe | 15:16 |
| Lunar_Lamp | ASULutzy: aye, I remember those days too, hehe. | 15:16 |
| ASULutzy | Ubuntu doesn't set up NTFS as read only? You might not have permissions to write to the drive and need to be root if you didn't chown the stuff, but I can make files on an NTFS drive with Ubuntu out of the box | 15:16 |
| rouini | lunar-lamp:i want read its contents | 15:16 |
| daftykins | ah ok my bad | 15:17 |
| daftykins | maybe they changed that? | 15:17 |
| daftykins | i don't even try to use NTFS | 15:17 |
| daftykins | my file server's network based so i just use SMB | 15:17 |
| daftykins | so it's never come up really | 15:17 |
| ASULutzy | daftykins: Probably, NTFS used to be trouble, but now a days, it just sorta works ;) | 15:17 |
| Lunar_Lamp | rouini: then follow the link that ubottu sent you so that you can "mount" the iso. When you have mounted it in a mountpoint, (a directory), travel to that directory to see the contents of the disc image. | 15:17 |
| xTOGx | ok, so i think i've just installed xubuntu | 15:17 |
| poosenki | i just updated firefox and now it doesn't launch anymore. does anyone know how to fix this? | 15:17 |
| ASULutzy | xTOGx: grats :P | 15:18 |
| idolguy | I found the answer to my question..I can transfer a Wubit installation to a regular partitioned system with LVPM. | 15:18 |
| joaopinto | poosenki, just reboot, i had the same issue | 15:18 |
| xTOGx | thanks :P | 15:18 |
| xTOGx | but all i've done is log in | 15:18 |
| icqnumber | daftykins, there is a ntfs-3g project they provide stable read/write access | 15:18 |
| ASULutzy | idolguy: I posted the link somewhere up there idolguy on how to do it :P | 15:18 |
| xTOGx | is it supposed to look similar to a DOS prompt? | 15:18 |
| daftykins | FYI i do not need everybody telling me about NTFS support now thanks | 15:18 |
| daftykins | i am not stupid. | 15:18 |
| naruttebayo | I changed the program that Ubuntu uses .exe (I thought I had to change it to wine, but it wasn't a windows executable), and now I need to change it back to the default. Can someone tell me what program that is? | 15:18 |
| icqnumber | !ntfs-3g | daftykins | 15:18 |
| ubottu | daftykins: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 15:18 |
| daftykins | -_- | 15:18 |
| ASULutzy | lol | 15:19 |
| idolguy | Thanks, ASULutzy | 15:19 |
| ASULutzy | You asked for that one on the end :P | 15:19 |
| daftykins | you're lucky nobody has invented that device to stab people through the Internet icqnumber... | 15:19 |
| poosenki | joaopinto: oh, alright. thanks | 15:19 |
| naruttebayo | halp plz? | 15:19 |
| nickrud | stupidknight do cd /etc/apt ; cp sources.list sources.list.pre-nickrud ; gksu gedit sources.list then replace yours with what's here : http://rafb.net/p/wl7PKr98.html | 15:19 |
| pmk | how can i search inside doc files? | 15:19 |
| nickrud | stupidknight when you're done, let me know | 15:19 |
| ASULutzy | naruttebayo: Ubuntu doesn't open .exe's by default | 15:20 |
| ASULutzy | naruttebayo: Those are Windows executables, not Linux executables. | 15:20 |
| ASULutzy | naruttebayo: The only thing that opens .exe's in Ubuntu is wine | 15:20 |
| djp | Hi, my Ubuntu hardy is booting into low graphics mode. running nvidia-setting says its not using the nvidia drivers but they show up in the restricted hardware drivers. I tried installing the drivers directly from nvidias site but it still isn't working. | 15:20 |
| icqnumber | daftykins, ? | 15:20 |
| naruttebayo | So how can I open a binary executable? It said it was a linux release (I'm trying to install stepmania). | 15:20 |
| Kootie | Greetings all, does anyone know how i can use auto login and not have to enter the keychain password for nm-applet (when joining wirelessnetwork)? | 15:20 |
| Kootie | if I login manually, i don't have to enter the keychain password. | 15:20 |
| xTOGx | hey nickrud, you dont work for CISP do you? | 15:21 |
| ASULutzy | naruttebayo: You must have downloaded the wrong file. .exe is not a native linux file. It's a windows file | 15:21 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: yea, I'm done | 15:21 |
| nickrud | xTOGx no, don't even know what that is | 15:21 |
| pmk | how can i search inside doc files in gnome? i've lots of docs files and i want to find a string inside them, how can i do this? | 15:21 |
| xTOGx | nm | 15:21 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: should I do the apt-get update and try installing it all now? | 15:21 |
| nickrud | stupidknight ok, now run sudo apt-get update | 15:21 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: done! | 15:21 |
| nickrud | lets see if I remember my dapper sources right first | 15:21 |
| ASULutzy | naruttebayo: http://www.stepmania.com/download.php?file=downloads/StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz you want this | 15:21 |
| nickrud | ok, try installing stuff | 15:21 |
| daftykins | icqnumber, i don't appreciate being told what i know. | 15:21 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: yea, same error. | 15:22 |
| xTOGx | man i'm so lost | 15:22 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: unmet dependencies.. | 15:22 |
| xTOGx | i just installed xubuntu, and now i have no idea what i'm doing | 15:22 |
| danbhfive | stupidknight: try a sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:22 |
| ASULutzy | xTOGx: lol, so why'd you install it :P | 15:22 |
| xTOGx | rofl :P | 15:22 |
| stupidknight | danbhfive: nice, stuff is happening | 15:22 |
| sharpe | becuase its fun | 15:22 |
| ASULutzy | xTOGx: There's probably a #xubuntu channel | 15:22 |
| Kootie | pmk: microsoft word doc files are usually encoded, but you can use grep -in "string" *.doc | 15:23 |
| xTOGx | best way to learn right ASULutzy? | 15:23 |
| xTOGx | fair enough | 15:23 |
| nickrud | stupidknight then possibly that plesk has installed a php of it's own that conflicts with php in dapper | 15:23 |
| ASULutzy | xTOGx: Well, I would argue installing it to a VM would be better, but sure ;) | 15:23 |
| pmk | Kootie: let me test it... | 15:23 |
| Gemmie78 | Hello | 15:23 |
| sharpe | installed Gnome the other day (used KDE for 6 years) just to play with it | 15:23 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: yea, possibly, plesk has been nothing but trouble so far.. | 15:23 |
| Gemmie78 | Anyone here a pidgin ace? | 15:23 |
| xTOGx | well, i've got a machine that's been frankensteined together, it needed an OS | 15:23 |
| ASULutzy | xTOGx: those machines are always the most fun | 15:23 |
| Gemmie78 | I think I screwed up my pidgin and now can't unscrew it up | 15:23 |
| ASULutzy | !ask | Gemmie78 | 15:24 |
| ubottu | Gemmie78: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 15:24 |
| xTOGx | ASULutzy oh, i know. lemme tell ya. fun fun fun | 15:24 |
| xTOGx | so doesn't ubuntu use a gui? and if so, how do i make it work? | 15:24 |
| sharpe | Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE and XUbuntu uses XFCE | 15:25 |
| DarkAudit | is there an alternative to Rhythmbox or Banshee that will respect all the retagging I've done? | 15:25 |
| * xTOGx blinks audibly | 15:25 | |
| pmk | Kootie: thanks! nautilus can't search inside files? | 15:25 |
| DarkAudit | xTOGx: not so loud :) | 15:25 |
| Kootie | not sure pmk, i mostly use command line | 15:25 |
| xTOGx | ok, so i'm on xubuntu, i'm using XFCE. how do i turn it on? | 15:26 |
| xTOGx | :P | 15:26 |
| === mmshanks is now known as mshanks | ||
| daftykins | turn what on... | 15:26 |
| xTOGx | the gui | 15:26 |
| Gemmie78 | Basically I removed something from the top panel, which was related to pidgin, now when I close pidgin by clicking on the "X" the program will quit, beforehand I think it used to minimise | 15:26 |
| === SplinTer0616_ is now known as SplinTer0616 | ||
| nickrud | xTOGx well I am in california, but I don't teach at the international studies program | 15:26 |
| === EGU is now known as ExGearUser | ||
| daftykins | so you logged in and you see nothing? | 15:26 |
| icqnumber | daftykins, did not look like that | 15:26 |
| nickrud | stupidknight I'd suggest trying to root out all the plesk stuff. tedious, obscure, but doable | 15:26 |
| Gemmie78 | I want to go back to the program minimising when I "X" it, but playing around with one of the options doesn't help | 15:26 |
| daftykins | icqnumber, then look closer next time | 15:26 |
| Gemmie78 | Is there a way to readd the pidgin thing back to the panel? | 15:26 |
| xTOGx | i'm logged in, i see black and white prompt | 15:26 |
| sharpe | try startx | 15:27 |
| daftykins | ah it's just given you a terminal | 15:27 |
| daftykins | no he's got X | 15:27 |
| daftykins | just no window manager | 15:27 |
| xTOGx | says nathan@ubuntu:~$ | 15:27 |
| daftykins | by the sounds of it | 15:27 |
| daftykins | indeed | 15:27 |
| ASULutzy | DarkAudit: I <3 amarok, lots of other people like it too, check it out | 15:27 |
| FloodBot3 | daftykins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:27 |
| FloodBot1 | daftykins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:27 |
| daftykins | ok type "sudo su | 15:27 |
| daftykins | enter your password, and then type "apt-get update" | 15:27 |
| Gemmie78 | Anyone? | 15:27 |
| nickrud | daftykins better is to use sudo -i | 15:27 |
| sharpe | dafty, startx doesnt just startx its a script that will start X11 then whatever WM/DE is default | 15:27 |
| icqnumber | daftykins, do blame things u have never tried, bacause you have said that u have never used ntfs | 15:27 |
| daftykins | no i said i've not used it recently, seriously just drop it icqnumber | 15:28 |
| DarkAudit | ASULutzy: I'm thinking *real* hard about that one :) | 15:28 |
| xTOGx | cool, it did something | 15:28 |
| daftykins | i told you i wasn't happy you telling me something i'm already familiar with, so let it go thanks | 15:28 |
| daftykins | now "apt-get dist-upgrade" xTOGx | 15:28 |
| ASULutzy | DarkAudit: I love it, I know it looks kinda funny in Gnome being a "KDE" app, but it's got more functionality than any other player I've encountered | 15:28 |
| xTOGx | it got some stuff, and said reading package lists... Done | 15:28 |
| daftykins | tell me if it asks to install any programs | 15:28 |
| daftykins | ok good that sounds like it's fine | 15:28 |
| daftykins | is it prompting to install anything? | 15:29 |
| xTOGx | apt-get dist-upgrade came back with a bunch of 0's | 15:29 |
| sharpe | iirc xubuntu doesnt install a login manager by default (lean and mean remember) so you need to type startx when you login | 15:29 |
| stupidknight | nickrud: yea, I'm thinking about it. One question though, how come I can login as root on my ubuntu installation? running 6.06, thought that root was disabled? | 15:29 |
| daftykins | zeros 0o | 15:29 |
| sharpe | its not any more complicated than that with a default install | 15:29 |
| daftykins | try "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" xTOGx | 15:29 |
| ASULutzy | stupidknight: You can enable root logins if you go out of your way to allow it | 15:29 |
| stupidknight | ASULutzy: k. | 15:30 |
| DarkAudit | ASULutzy: I've tried it before and really liked it... rhythbox is mangling tags even after I ran my mp3s through Picard :p | 15:30 |
| nickrud | stupidknight do sudo -i to get root terminal | 15:30 |
| icqnumber | !root | stupidknight | 15:30 |
| ubottu | stupidknight: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:30 |
| ASULutzy | heh that's a nice factoid ubottu | 15:30 |
| Gemmie78 | Basically I want to restore the panel that pidgin used to have at the top | 15:30 |
| xTOGx | syas its gonna use more drive space... it wants me to insert the cd | 15:30 |
| nickrud | !noroot | 15:30 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 15:30 |
| Gemmie78 | It was like partially green if someone sent you a message | 15:30 |
| D46 | Hello. I have quite a problem.. I try to boot into Ubuntu, but the desktop never loads. It becomes unresponsive other than moving the mouse or RSEIUB. | 15:30 |
| ASULutzy | Gemmie78: I know how to fix it | 15:31 |
| Gemmie78 | Now it's gone, and as soon as I close the window, the program quits instead of staying active but hidden | 15:31 |
| stupidknight | icqnumber: although, when I ssh onto my password I actually do have root account with password | 15:31 |
| Gemmie78 | Hurrah :D | 15:31 |
| daftykins | yeah as default it will be configured to get software packages from the CD, which'll be good if your internet connection is slow xTOGx | 15:31 |
| ASULutzy | Gemmie78: I believe you can just open preferences, and under interface, have it say"Show system tray icon: Always" | 15:31 |
| stupidknight | err... virtual server | 15:31 |
| xTOGx | i'm on dsl | 15:31 |
| xTOGx | can i tell it to get from internet? | 15:31 |
| daftykins | well just put the disc in and we'll worry about that later | 15:31 |
| Gemmie78 | It's currently on always | 15:31 |
| Gemmie78 | But I cannot see it | 15:32 |
| spsneo | I want to invite few people from ubuntu to for invited lecture in our university technical festival. Where and whom to contact? | 15:32 |
| xTOGx | ok, i'll try the cdrom | 15:32 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78 and if that doesn't work, right click the panel, add to panel, and add the system tray | 15:32 |
| ASULutzy | nickrud: Oh lol, I didn't even think about not having the tray | 15:32 |
| J_P | hi all | 15:32 |
| D46 | In /var/log/gdm/:0.log.4 there are a few thousand lines of "tossed event which came in late. mieqEnequeue: out -of-order valuator event; dropping." | 15:32 |
| J_P | people, ubuntu don't have more inittab ? | 15:33 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78 it's called the notification area in later ubuntus not the system tray | 15:33 |
| spsneo | I want to invite few people from ubuntu to for invited lecture in our university technical festival. Where and whom to contact? can anybody help me | 15:33 |
| tododoc | hat jemand ich hotwo für dualhead unter ubunt 8.04? | 15:33 |
| J_P | where I set one ubuntu if is init 2,3,4,5 if don't have more inittab ? | 15:34 |
| kushal1 | hello, I installed KDE 4 on my ubuntu installation on a toshiba satellite. At that time, I chose to not make KDE my default desktop environment. How can I make the switch now? | 15:34 |
| Gemmie78 | I cannot find the system tray | 15:34 |
| tododoc | sorry fc | 15:34 |
| Gemmie78 | Okay cool looking now | 15:34 |
| D46 | Looks like I'll never get any help. | 15:34 |
| D46 | -.- | 15:34 |
| Gemmie78 | Bingo it's done | 15:34 |
| daftykins | at the login screen press F10 kushal1, choose "select session" and change to KDE | 15:34 |
| Gemmie78 | Notification area is spot on, you're a legend | 15:34 |
| pmk | Kootie: there is a way to search inside pdf files too? | 15:34 |
| daftykins | once you then enter your username and password it'll ask if you want to use KDE for just that login or for all future logins | 15:35 |
| kushal1 | thanks daftykins | 15:35 |
| daftykins | np | 15:35 |
| archimedes | hi, can anyone tell me if i can use audio in teamspeak 2 and amarok music player using pulse audio? | 15:35 |
| ALLpt | how can i read videos with rmvb format? | 15:36 |
| D46 | One more time. I boot my computer. When it goes to loading the desktop, it hangs. All becomes unresponsive except for moving the mouse. It never even gets to the login screen. Seemingly related, in /var/log/gdm/:0.log.4 there are a few thousand lines of "tossed event which came in late. mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping." | 15:37 |
| === meydintorkiy is now known as made_in_turkey | ||
| Kootie | pmk: im not sure, never really deal with them sorry | 15:37 |
| D46 | Can anyone give me ANY lead on my problem? | 15:37 |
| Gemmie78 | So now I shall try closing | 15:38 |
| Gemmie78 | Fantastic it works | 15:38 |
| dfgas | is there a way to have ubuntu boot kinda like fedora where they have all the services loading you can hit f2 or what ever and see it or just keep the graphics up. they also have the mouse in that screen as well | 15:38 |
| dfgas | i want my ubuntu to look like that | 15:38 |
| Gemmie78 | Fantastic, restoring the notification area works like a treat, fantastic, I'm so happy | 15:39 |
| D46 | Driver problems? Will downgrading Xorg help? | 15:39 |
| D46 | I'm glad you're happy Gemmie78. Got your Ubuntu system working. :) | 15:39 |
| D46 | I can't even get to the login screen! | 15:39 |
| Gemmie78 | I've been slowly tweaking my ubuntu | 15:40 |
| Gemmie78 | This is so much better than other OS's and I didn't have to pay a single cent | 15:40 |
| D46 | I'm slowly making no progress in fixing mine. | 15:40 |
| D46 | Don't neglect the other Linuxes, Gemmie. | 15:40 |
| Gemmie78 | I want to run Kubuntu for my mum on a really old laptop | 15:40 |
| Gemmie78 | I think it would be fine | 15:40 |
| D46 | Get familiar with Ubuntu, then try the others like Fedora, Slackware, hell.. even LFS. | 15:40 |
| daftykins | erk that scared the life out of me, ubuntu using optical seems a bit sketchy with how my speakers work - it just fired a massive white noise burst through them | 15:40 |
| xTOGx | ok, i'm back. sorry, i need a new wireless router | 15:40 |
| daftykins | what makes you think it's "better" than any other OS? | 15:41 |
| Gemmie78 | Yeah I need to get more familiar | 15:41 |
| Gemmie78 | Is there a way to have my mum automatically have firestarter running | 15:41 |
| D46 | It's annoying. =\ A lot of Ubuntu users will ask, "What's Linux?" | 15:42 |
| Gemmie78 | Is it possible to have the program always run, or run as soon as the computer boots | 15:42 |
| cdeszaq | How could I check to see if the sed command "sed -n '/mom/ p' " gave any output? | 15:42 |
| joaopinto | Gemmie78, probably you want it to run when the user logs in, System -> Preferences -> Sessions | 15:42 |
| Gemmie78 | D46, as long as it works I'm happy | 15:42 |
| D46 | Anyway.. I better be going. Please try to help me with getting my installation to work. :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824607 | 15:43 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: you don't need to have firestarter on to have the firewall on... you did know that, right? | 15:43 |
| daftykins | you get a working tty login D46? | 15:44 |
| Gemmie78 | Really? | 15:44 |
| qoncept | how do ubuntu's update packages work? i want to get the latest version of pidgin without doing anything and was wondering when it'll happen automatically | 15:44 |
| Gemmie78 | Is it always on? | 15:44 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: the default firewall is iptables which is always on | 15:44 |
| Gemmie78 | It's saying it's already rec'vd 400+ mg | 15:44 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: firestarter is a frontend to iptables | 15:44 |
| Gemmie78 | MB ^ | 15:44 |
| daftykins | it doesn't automatically update | 15:44 |
| danbhfive | qoncept: when the next version of Ubuntu is released | 15:44 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: and iptables is always on | 15:44 |
| Gemmie78 | Oh I see, so I'm running 2 firewalls? | 15:44 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: no | 15:44 |
| Gemmie78 | just iptables? | 15:44 |
| qoncept | i mean like, using apt-get | 15:44 |
| joaopinto | qoncept, you only get security/critical bug fixes, not version updates | 15:45 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: firestarter is a *frontend* | 15:45 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: yes. | 15:45 |
| cdc | is there a way to do a terminal command to launch network paths [windows shared folders?] so I do not keep having to either bookmark them or mount them through the gui? | 15:45 |
| Gemmie78 | What do you mean by frontend? | 15:45 |
| Gemmie78 | If so, what's the point of firestarter? | 15:45 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: it's a graphical frontend to a commandline tool that is for many users quite hard to handle | 15:45 |
| pjotr | you only set rules for iptables with firestarter | 15:45 |
| CarlFK | sudo apt-get upgrade; packages have been kept back: linux-generic ... linux-restricted-modules-generic | 15:46 |
| CarlFK | how come? | 15:46 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: its just a front end, some people like guis | 15:46 |
| Gemmie78 | I see | 15:46 |
| danbhfive | CarlFK: maybe you need dist-upgrade | 15:46 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: personally i still prefer iptables from command line, rather than ufw | 15:46 |
| Gemmie78 | So let me get this straight, basically the firewall is always running | 15:46 |
| rampageoberon | CarlFK: if its 8.04 you want full-upgrade | 15:47 |
| === meydintorkiy is now known as made_in_turkey | ||
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: yes | 15:47 |
| Gemmie78 | When I open firestarter, I'm basically opening a clean shiny version of iptable | 15:47 |
| Gemmie78 | Which in essence is always running in the background | 15:47 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: yes, firestarter just passes on the rules to iptables | 15:47 |
| ASULutzy | Gemmie78: Yes, and iptables by default doesn't have any rules in it, so it's there, ot's just not really doing much, which is ok because by default Ubuntu has no open ports | 15:47 |
| dbmoodb | Gemmie78: a firewall that is not switched on is running = no real firewall | 15:48 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: My suggestion would be if using iptables, script the firewall. iptables directly gives you a lot more control | 15:48 |
| Gemmie78 | I don't script and this is for my mum | 15:48 |
| Gemmie78 | I just want her to be safe online for obvious reasons | 15:48 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: you have to wrote the script | 15:48 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: will she be installing p2p software, http-servers, ftp-servers, etc? | 15:48 |
| Gemmie78 | I know Linux systems are less prone to attack in a way | 15:48 |
| Gemmie78 | But I still want to minimise her risk | 15:48 |
| Myrtti | Gemmie78: sshd? | 15:49 |
| dbmoodb | Gemmie78: hosts allow and hosts deny then | 15:49 |
| CarlFK | Gemmie78: out of the box, she is safe enough | 15:49 |
| Gemmie78 | I see | 15:49 |
| dbmoodb | /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny just for samba maybe ? | 15:49 |
| Gemmie78 | Am I able to run a server on a small desktop and on the same desktop have ubuntu running and browse the net? | 15:49 |
| CarlFK | Gemmie78: messing with a firewall will more likely cause her problems when you don't do it right | 15:49 |
| rampageoberon | Gemmie78: unless you are installing any of the things Myrtti mentioned the default config is good enough | 15:49 |
| Gemmie78 | In a way multi task, have a small forum running for some college mates and do some research? | 15:49 |
| Gemmie78 | Okay sweet | 15:49 |
| cdeszaq | Does anyone know how to check to see if the sed command "sed -n '/mom/ p' " gave any output when run on a file? | 15:50 |
| CarlFK | Gemmie78: yes. unix did multi everything back in the 70's, and has only gotten better :) | 15:50 |

| xTOGx | ok, so i run apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. i get E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? | 15:53 |
| Gemmie78 | So anywho I have about 10 people who want to use the server, maybe 3 at a time, I could run that on a celeron couldn't i | 15:54 |

| joaopinto | cdecarlo, you do a grep -c "pattern" file, this will print the number of matches | 15:57 |

| IndyGunFreak | cdc: did you not get it w/ your system updates? | 15:59 |
| BedMan | cdc: firefox has an installer, right? | 15:59 |
| joaopinto | cdc, if you have updates enable you should have rc1 available, for rc2 you will need to do a manual install | 15:59 |
| PhailQuail | how do I find out how a long a program has been running for? | 15:59 |
| cdc | Filefox only have tar.gz files. | 15:59 |

| cdc | joaopinto: do i have to remove the previous one? | 15:59 |
| BedMan | PhailQuail: ps | 15:59 |
| BedMan | joaopinto: can't you download the instaler too? | 16:00 |
| joaopinto | PhailQuail, ps -fp pid, look for the STIME (Start time) | 16:00 |
| joaopinto | BedMan, no, you can download the binary, and run it | 16:00 |
| Parallx | anyone here using a macbook ??? | 16:00 |

| joaopinto | cdc, no you do not, if you install it to a difference place, but please search for a web page with instructions, is not something easy for beginners | 16:00 |
| BedMan | joaopinto: if you get the .tar.gz file, does it not contain an installer? | 16:01 |

| joaopinto | rampageoberon, you have no dns cache by default, what are you trying to achieve ? | 16:03 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 16:03 |
| 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 | 16:03 |

| rampageoberon | joaopinto: one of the servers (forums) i use has changed IP's so want to flush it to update | 16:04 |
| JJ1 | gald to see you | 16:04 |

| IndyGunFreak | ferfactor_: you should be able to install clamav on the live CD.. if you need to use it. | 16:06 |
| joaopinto | lubosz, if it is available, just install it from the package manager | 16:06 |
| neurobuntu | lubosz what do you mean "not work" | 16:06 |
| gooody | can somebody give me an info regarding setting up a router for internet sharing? | 16:06 |
| ferfactor_ | i want to run avg to erase some virus that has my computer with windows | 16:06 |
| ProTToType | hey... any indians here?? | 16:06 |
| joaopinto | ferfactor_, clamlav only scans, it will not allow you to clean | 16:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | gooody: its pretty easy. | 16:07 |
| joaopinto | !ot | ProTToType | 16:07 |
| lubosz | neurobuntu: it does not come up, it boots plain old grub | 16:07 |
| ubottu | ProTToType: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 16:07 |
| Parallx | Is it a good idea to get a macbook to use ubuntu???? | 16:07 |
| lubosz | joaopinto: i did that, even the theme, but it does not configure it to start | 16:07 |
| gooody | IndyGunFreak: is it something like plug n play? | 16:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Parallx: if you want to... but you coudl get something cheaper if you just want to use Ubuntul.; | 16:07 |
| joaopinto | lubosz, so rephrase your question, it is not about how to install, but how to configure ;) | 16:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | gooody: maybe not quite that easy, what model is your router? | 16:07 |
| ferfactor_ | joaopinto: but if this program detect the virus i can erase it!!!! | 16:08 |
| ProTToType | hey u indian?? | 16:08 |

| Parallx | IndyGunFreak: I need the firewire that has the macbook, i just wanted to know about problems, | 16:08 |
| lubosz | joaopinto: i didnt find any method to do so, and usually it should work when you install it from the repo | 16:08 |
| poosenki | is it ever a problem to create a directory that starts with a digit rather than a letter? | 16:08 |
| gooody | IndyGunFreak: i don't have the router yet but planning to buy a linksys wired router. | 16:08 |
| Gemmie78 | will it always do that if I set it to run on system start up? | 16:08 |
| joaopinto | ferfactor_, it depends on the virus, some virus get "melted" with system files, you can't simply delete those | 16:08 |
| ProTToType | im not able to find any information regarding to gunz online on whinehq site | 16:08 |
| lubosz | so no one uses gfxboot? | 16:08 |

| IndyGunFreak | then why not just use a pastebin if your sorry? | 16:10 |
| ASULutzy | Chosen320: You need to be root | 16:10 |
| ASULutzy | Chosen320: use sudo | 16:10 |
| xTOGx | what is pastebin? | 16:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | !pastebin | xTOGx | 16:11 |
| ubottu | xTOGx: 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) | 16:11 |
| joaopinto | Chosen320, you need to run nautilus with super user privileges, gksudo nautilus | 16:11 |
| ASULutzy | Chosen320: for example, sudo cp -R (or sudo mv if you want to cut instead of copy) /the/Source /var/www | 16:11 |

| Pici | er, sorry. | 16:11 |
| ASULutzy | Chosen320: Or alternatively if you hate the command line and want to use a GUI, type gksudo nautilus | 16:11 |
| Myrtti | Pici: miss | 16:11 |

| BedMan | Chosen320: if you set the permissions of the target directory properly, you do not need sudo, but you may need sudo to set your permissions right. | 16:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | xTOGx: you don't need linux isntalled to use a pastebin. | 16:12 |

| indio | neurobuntu: No. Just commandline. | 16:56 |
| neurobuntu | indio: try using synaptic to remove it, be warned though that I know of a lot of people that have ruined their install by removing evolution incorrectly. I would really just recommend removing it from the menu | 16:56 |
| _eMaX_ | eitreach, looked like someone coming from apple trying at all cost to get his ipod like file manager on linux | 16:56 |

| eitreach | _eMaX_: again, did you try 4.1 Beta, or the earlier versions? | 16:57 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mystery_ /join #compiz | 16:58 |
| neurobuntu | indio, I would recommend you try using the Synaptic Package Manager to remove it | 16:58 |
| _eMaX_ | as I said, just try it in a virtual machine. Actually, if you use xephyr, you can run kde4 inside a gnome session | 16:58 |

| net | neurobuntu,i want a turbo c like app for compiling and running c programs | 16:59 |

| KleRoi | _eMaX_: its an ati mobiity radeon x1600 | 16:59 |
| _eMaX_ | KleRoi, is that a thinkpad? | 16:59 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman, yes it is, but it is not enable since I cannot go wired because I am at work, so I need to use wireless but with 1Mb / s because of braodcom. | 16:59 |

| KleRoi | oh wait i didn't mean edgy Jack_Sparrow, i meant gutsy | 17:00 |
| KleRoi | my bad | 17:00 |
| neurobuntu | pmk: hmm... you need to get beagle to search them and index them | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KleRoi Huge diff | 17:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ok | 17:00 |
| KleRoi | yeah i know ^^" | 17:00 |
| neurobuntu | I'm not much of an expert on beagle though | 17:00 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku : so i can't help you because there's no open module to use with the kernel instead of ndiswrapper ... | 17:00 |
| _eMaX_ | KleRoi, what gives fglrxinfo | 17:01 |
| pmk | neurobuntu: and the tracker that comes with ubuntu? | 17:01 |

| The-Seiman | it's more than that, without it you can't have desktop icons and other stuffs | 17:06 |
| dr_Willis | pub, its the 'file manager' correct. | 17:06 |
| pub | i installed the fluxbox but when i go into nautilus, i go back to the gnome interface | 17:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KleRoi Make a full backup first | 17:06 |
| pmk | in the 2.6.24-16-generic the inotify is enabled? | 17:06 |
| cdavis | It has been suggested in the forums to alleviate my hardy freezing problems to install the backports kernel modules. Do I just apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-18-generic? does it aumatically replace the modules I already have installed for that kernel? | 17:06 |
| dr_Willis | pub, there are other filemanagers. nautilous is the default gnome file manager, and it also does the icons on the desktop. | 17:06 |
| neurobuntu | pmk: not sure | 17:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KleRoi Do you want to see my ati notes for gutsy before you do that | 17:06 |
| KleRoi | Jack_Sparrow: i never do backups! It's part of the risk :D nah joking, something ALWAYS goes wrong when I update something | 17:06 |
| pub | what would work with fluxbox? so i wouldn't have to go back to gnome interface | 17:06 |
| KleRoi | mm sure Jack_Sparrow tell me | 17:06 |
| The-Seiman | pub : nautilis --no-desktop | 17:06 |
| dr_Willis | pub, fluxbox is Just a 'window manager' it dosent have any of its own file managers. | 17:06 |

| The-Seiman | cygoku : recompile the kernel with the actual config + alsa drivers + ndiswrapper xD | 17:08 |
| _eMaX_ | KleRoi, anyway if I run google-earth on :1.0, so inside compiz, it is slow. If i run it on :0.0 (but then w/o window decorations), it is very fast | 17:08 |

| ksbalaji | my first boot screen messages is cluttered with many Hardy versions. How to remove them pl? | 17:22 |
| soundray | pmk: is it hogging your CPU? | 17:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix unused processes are swapped out to save ram .. when data is not needed .. its flushed to swap Some may also be in use as shared video for onboard video controller | 17:23 |
| theFATMAN | After installing the M$ truetype fonts, Firefox only dispays Times New Roman, nothing else. I can't change it in forums or anywhere else. Any thoughts? | 17:23 |
| eix | the BIOS test says 1024MB too | 17:23 |
| pub | actually, nothing recognizes the additional hard drive besides nautilus | 17:23 |
| eix | Jack_Sparrow: why should swap have anything to do with my RAM? | 17:23 |
| c_lisp | doubt that pub :) | 17:23 |
| pmk | soundray: nop, it doesnt works for me, i need to search inside .doc and .pdf files...i will use google desktop instead | 17:23 |
| eix | Jack_Sparrow: I don't think that the video card of a dedicated server takes 512MB... | 17:24 |

| c_lisp | nautilus is just eh graphical interface | 17:24 |
| LD32 | I had a problem during my Gutsy to Hardy upgrade, and I would like to simply reinstall everything that is in my /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder. Is there an easy way of doing this? | 17:24 |
| PdUb101 | how would i go about putting /documents and settings/ in a launcher, it keeps stopping at "/documents" and doesn't read the rest of the command line | 17:24 |
| Riotta | theFATMAN: install the fonts in /home/fatman/.fonts | 17:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix Just pasting a link on how some of that works... Is it shared video ram and how much are you having the bios use for vide.. | 17:24 |
| bobesponja | hi | 17:24 |
| c_lisp | pdub101 you can do this in either 2 ways where its a space type \ tor it to make its own space or put the path in quotes | 17:24 |
| pub | hahah awesome, that worked | 17:25 |
| Rioting_pacifist | guys it was miro, if you install miro (through repos) it screws up firefox royally | 17:25 |
| Riotta | and then restart Xsession ctrl+alt+backspace | 17:25 |
| c_lisp | but I find put \ then hitting tab to autofill is easier | 17:25 |
| eix | Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks | 17:25 |
| bobesponja | I just did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on a clean hardy install and I got that: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19091/ now I can't install anything :/ | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix How big is your swap partition, just out of curiosity | 17:25 |
| PdUb101 | c_lisp: ok my entire path is "/media/sda1/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/LimeWire/Saved" so should i put it in paths like that?? | 17:25 |
| buckhill | anyone know much about "local apps" running properly on ubuntu/edubuntu? looking to run Firefox on a terminal machine... what do you think the RAM requirements would be? | 17:25 |
| eix | Jack_Sparrow: I'll have somebody check the video card settings in BIOS | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix It certainly wont be using 512, but it will be using some | 17:26 |
| eix | Jack_Sparrow: 1341MB | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix that is plenty for your ram | 17:26 |
| jo_ | could someone of you tell me, whether the packages needed for using a D-Link G-520+ WLAN-Adapter (Chip: ACX-111) (probably linux-restricted-modules-386) are installed when I choose "install a command line system" on a ubuntu alternate install cd? | 17:26 |
| pub | is GKrellM nice ? | 17:26 |
| soundray | pmk: System-Preferences-Sessions -- untick the two tracker items | 17:26 |
| c_lisp | pdub101 so thep /media/sda1/Documents\{tab here} | 17:26 |
| c_lisp | it will start autofilling of ryou | 17:26 |
| soundray | pmk: you will still have to kill both for the current session | 17:26 |

| pmk | soundray: thanks! | 17:27 |
| LD32 | I had a problem during my Gutsy to Hardy upgrade, and I would like to simply reinstall all the .deb files in my /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder. Is there some command to do this? | 17:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix No.. not too much.. hard drive space isnt as costly as it used to be | 17:27 |
| eix | Jack_Sparrow: it's a 80GB hard disk | 17:27 |
| PdUb101 | c_lisp: ahh great! i got it :) thanks so much for your help!! | 17:28 |

| c_lisp | np | 17:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eix I dont know that it is swap management, but the server kernels are pretty smart, they use it the way it suits how you are using the system. Are you running out of ram or into ram related issues, or you just want to see that number at 1024 | 17:29 |

| Slart | Riotta: install the files on a harddrive in another computer before installing that harddrive in the new computer | 17:58 |
| stemount^ | Riotta: limiting your options there; there is always NFS/PXE network utilities | 17:58 |
| pub | hang on , lets just make sure | 17:58 |
| Flannel | pub: it should open the run dialog | 17:58 |
| Slart | linuxkrn: it's the network-icon thingy in the systray | 17:58 |
| pub | yup, 1-4 goes to the diff window frames | 17:58 |

| The-Seiman | ksbalaji : but for programs which use SOCK_RAW sockets, you need to rebuild your kernel with Filesystem capabilities on, and then allow wine to create raw sockets using setcap | 18:05 |

| mrooney | hello, I installed kubuntu-kde4-desktop, and naturally it installed all the deps, but now if I remove it, it just removes the meta package, how can I undo the entire process? | 18:23 |
| graft | gorg: try #kubuntu or #kde | 18:23 |
| derspankster | yell0w, thanks for the wireless tip - got it reconnected | 18:23 |
| Slart | mad_max02: it should just be a list of files in your home folder starting with a dot | 18:23 |
| FluxD | graft, is acpi needed or is there any way to not use it? | 18:23 |
| graft | gorg: or #kopete even | 18:23 |
| gorg | ok, thanks | 18:23 |
| loz | graft is it ok to clear everything or older versions of the same thing | 18:23 |
| Slart | mad_max02: you can edit out any sensitive filesnames if you want to.. | 18:23 |
| graft | FluxD: erm. acpi is usually nice to have... lets you suspend and stuff like that | 18:23 |
| loz | i obvously wont clear grub | 18:24 |
| FluxD | graft, this is a remote server in another dc I control using ssh | 18:24 |
| loz | what about lost+found | 18:24 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, there is no bashrc file. I know its hidden but there aint one. | 18:24 |
| graft | loz: usually you're okay just keeping the kernel you're using... i try to keep one older kernel that i know worked well in case i ever need to roll back to it | 18:24 |
| tschaka^ | European-African type into terminal: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , replace the local thingy in the URLs with "us" (like move "de" out and put "us" in) and save by pressing ctrl+o. be sure to do a backup before. then again run "sudo apt-get update" should actually work then. | 18:24 |
| loz | ok thanks | 18:24 |
| graft | loz: don't delete stuff by hand, use apt to remove old kernels | 18:24 |

| European-African | tschaka^: ok will do, hold on | 18:25 |
| raidoh | anyone can help me? | 18:25 |
| Slart | mad_max02: is there a file called .profile ? | 18:25 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, not in my home folder no | 18:26 |
| tschaka^ | ksbalaji try to find older deb packages on the web. | 18:26 |
| Slart | mad_max02: any files at all in your home folder? | 18:26 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: in your case, renable the bcm43xx drivers ... : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Inspiron_6400#Wireless_Setup | 18:26 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, lol :D yeah a lot | 18:26 |
| fooks | whats the command for gnome services? | 18:26 |
| lgc | I wonder if someone else experiences the same problem: Every once-in-a-while my wireless link gets killed, and restarting the network or doing 'dhclient eth1' won't do. When I open up the nm-applet and check the configuration, I notice that some very long string has taken the place of the wireless modem. Once I write the correct password again I get the wireless link back. This must be a very simple to solve issue, though the WHY this password is changed is qui | 18:26 |
| lgc | te puzzling. Any clues? | 18:26 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman : bcm43xx is blacklisted, it is using b43. | 18:26 |
| fooks | id like to get them to start on fluxbox startup | 18:26 |
| Slart | mad_max02: is this a new install? regular vanilla ubuntu hardy? | 18:27 |
| c_lisp | fooks gdm | 18:27 |
| loz | graft, apt-get remove and the package manager don't work | 18:27 |
| cicci_ | someone can help me with ati configuration under mint? | 18:27 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 | 18:27 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: then remove the blacklist line and enable it with modconf ;) | 18:27 |
| mad_max02 | I had that install before I tried kubuntu and everything worked | 18:27 |
| graft | loz: uh? oh, because you have no space? | 18:27 |
| PennyCostco | why cant i change the "roaming mode" into "static ip" in network properties? (ubuntu) | 18:27 |
| loz | yes | 18:27 |
| xuander | hello | 18:27 |
| Slart | cicci_: this channel is for ubuntu support.. check the mint site for support | 18:27 |
| Quis | Does anyone know how I can give my clock a kick in his ass ? | 18:27 |
| grigris | hi | 18:27 |
| graft | loz: but you only don't have space on /boot... | 18:27 |
| Quis | The clock just stopped | 18:27 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman : mod-conf ? | 18:27 |
| loz | correct | 18:28 |
| graft | loz: and 94% isn't that full | 18:28 |
| lgc | fooks, gnome-commander is what you want? | 18:28 |
| graft | loz: well, it should work fine for removing stuff...? | 18:28 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: modconf, not mod-conf | 18:28 |
| vic1ous | Hey Guys, how do i kill xserver to install the latest nvidia driver | 18:28 |
| Slart | mad_max02: extremely weird.. | 18:28 |
| graft | loz: anyway, even if it doesn't, you can use dpkg -r <name of package> | 18:28 |
| fooks | lgc, i'd just like all the cool stuff that auto pops up and themes and such to be as exact under fluxbox | 18:28 |
| Ironeye | I just updated to 8.04 and nothing is working right. So i want to return to the previous version, however when it trys to install it say it cant find my cd drive! even though it works now :| | 18:28 |
| ksbalaji | European-African, I feel that the entire panel does not work properly in your case. Did you try something else? | 18:28 |
| fooks | it would make fluxbox perfect | 18:28 |
| c_lisp | vic1ou ctlr+alt+backspace | 18:28 |
| loz | i have to do a dpkg -configure and that doesnt owrk | 18:28 |
| loz | *work | 18:28 |
| c_lisp | or just log outt | 18:28 |
| vic1ous | c_lisp that just takes me to login | 18:28 |
| yell0w | derspankster: np | 18:28 |
| lgc | fooks, I'm not sure I understand you... | 18:29 |
| c_lisp | it kills the xserver | 18:29 |
| PennyCostco | why wont ubuntu respond sometimes when I click the shutdown button on top right corner? | 18:29 |
| Slart | vic1ous: ctrl+f1 to get a shell.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop the x server.. install nvidia driver and possibly do sudo /etc/init.d/gdfm start to get back in | 18:29 |
| c_lisp | and restarts it sitll vic1ous | 18:29 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman : Not even installed. | 18:29 |
| graft | loz: you ought to be able to do dpkg -r without doing dpkg --configure first, i think | 18:29 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: go to kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx | 18:29 |
| lgc | fooks, (I meant gnome-control-center, not gnome-commander. Sorry.) | 18:29 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: then install it ;) | 18:29 |
| Slart | vic1ous: or install the driver using the restricted drivers thingy and just point, click, restart | 18:29 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, I found the problem. File is located in /etc/bash.bashrc | 18:29 |
| fooks | lgc, i think thats it | 18:29 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, I gotta log out to use it | 18:29 |
| Slart | mad_max02: that's the big, system wide file.. there should be one in your home folder too | 18:29 |
| European-African | ksbalaji: it is not the entire panel, just the tools tha when you try to open them have this prestartup box that says 'starting adminstration tool' | 18:30 |
| Ironeye | my cd drive sometimes does not respond. could it be clashing with ubuntu? | 18:30 |
| reenignEesreveR | i am a noob and im preparing a live machine ... its asking me hostname ... does hostname's format etc matter or should i put anything in it i like? | 18:30 |
| European-African | ksbalaji: no I worked it out! my sudo is not working at all! | 18:31 |
| lgc | Ironeye, CD drives are sometimes unwieldy and fail often. Nothing to do with Ubuntu. IMO. | 18:31 |
| c_lisp | 18:31 | |
| cygoku | The-Seiman : Then what ? | 18:31 |
| Slart | reenignEesreveR: anything you like.. avoid weird characters | 18:31 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman : it's asking for command-line argumentss ? | 18:31 |
| otake1234 | hey guys I have a tough server question, is this the right place to ask it? | 18:31 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: no | 18:31 |
| Slart | reenignEesreveR: there is probable some kind of limit on how long it can be | 18:31 |
| enos | for some odd reason my screen is extremely bright. can anyone help me configure ubuntu 8, I don't think xorg.cof is correct, I've looked at it but can't figure the solution. | 18:32 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: it's a simplified ncurses program ;) | 18:32 |
| tschaka^ | European-African did anything work? | 18:32 |
| Ironeye | igc: any ideas for a fix? | 18:32 |
| reenignEesreveR | does it affect apache's naming scheme etc? | 18:32 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: go to kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx | 18:32 |
| Slart | otake1234: ask and find out.. you can try the #linux channel too.. but do your homework first | 18:32 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman : It says it's deprecated and does not work. | 18:32 |
| European-African | tschaka^: I worked out what is wrong. my sudo does not work at all! | 18:32 |
| yotsu | hey how do I view my partition map? | 18:32 |
| yotsu | in fdisk? | 18:32 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: hmm | 18:32 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: you probably have to install ncurses | 18:33 |
| PennyCostco | yotsu: m | 18:33 |
| Slart | yotsu: gnome partition editor.. in the system menu | 18:33 |
| cygoku | Installation failed. | 18:33 |
| tschaka^ | European-African ah ok. what happens when u type sudo in console? | 18:33 |
| Slart | yotsu: oh.. sorry.. in fdisk.. I have no idea | 18:33 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: if it's not that, your distro is wrong | 18:33 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | how do i put my trash bin on the desktop instead of the panel? | 18:33 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, works great. Just uncommented a line in /etc/bash.bashrc | 18:33 |
| reenignEesreveR | does my hostname have to resolve on internet as well? | 18:33 |
| ksbalaji | European-African, Just as I guessed. I had the same problem. I restarted with recovery. It helped. | 18:33 |
| otake1234 | Slart, i have done my homework. its a question of storage. I am trying to load 48 500 GB hard drives into one instance of ubuntu. its actually 24 striped sets. I'm running into what seems klike random issues and am wondering if there is a limit i am not aware of | 18:33 |
| cygoku | The-Seiman, distro is wrong ? wtf hardy heron 8.04.1 | 18:33 |
| European-African | ant@AMD-64:~$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:33 |
| European-African | sudo: unable to resolve host AMD-64 | 18:33 |
| European-African | ant@AMD-64:~$ | 18:33 |
| Slart | KRaZy_WaKa: start gconf-editor in a terminal, go to apps, nautilus ... look for desktop stuff.. it's in there somewhere | 18:34 |
| European-African | sorry | 18:34 |
| Ironeye | How do i update my cd drive? | 18:34 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | thanx slart | 18:34 |
| otake1234 | i have 2 3ware raid controllers, fully supported. | 18:34 |
| European-African | ksbalaji: that is what happens | 18:34 |
| tschaka^ | European-African are u on an ssh machine? | 18:34 |
| yotsu | I just need to know that (hd0,?) my vista partition is | 18:34 |
| European-African | tschaka^: you mean is it a ssh server? | 18:34 |
| yotsu | is there a possible way? | 18:34 |
| Slart | otake1234: it was just meant as a warning if you decided to go to #linux.. those guys can be pretty mean if you ask questions without googling and such first =) | 18:34 |
| loz | graft i have errors removing the -16 image because other -16 modules depend on it | 18:34 |
| The-Seiman | cygoku: you have tried nothing critical ? like failed module or kernel build | 18:35 |
| graft | loz: what kernel do you want to use? | 18:35 |
| European-African | tschaka^: it is the ubuntu hardy destop. | 18:35 |
| tschaka^ | European-African are you on your local machine, or are you logged on some machine via ssh or something? | 18:35 |
| cygoku | No, this is my laptop for working, I will not start to do that. | 18:35 |
| c_lisp | yotsub in grub type find /boot/grub/stage1 | 18:35 |
| otake1234 | has anyone here done that? 24 5000 GB striped sets on 2 threeware controllers? | 18:35 |
| audela | Hello, do anyone know which package is needed to uncompress .sit files ? | 18:35 |
| European-African | tschaka^: local. | 18:35 |
| otake1234 | 500 GB i mean. | 18:35 |
| PennyCostco | i click on my "wired network connection" and do settings, because I want to set my own static ip in my LAN, but when I do so network doesnt work at all.. how come? | 18:35 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, can I successfully remove evolution without any problems ?? | 18:35 |
| Slart | otake1234: wow.. that's a lot of hard drives.. I really don't know.. I've never done more than 6 drives I think | 18:35 |
| Slart | mad_max02: afaik, yes | 18:35 |
| graft | loz: you can probably remove those modules first... also once you've removed one or two you might check to see if you hvae enough space to work via apt-get again | 18:35 |
| tschaka^ | European-African why it would say sudo: unable to resolve host AMD-64 then? ;) | 18:35 |
| loz | 2.6.24-18 | 18:35 |
| tschaka^ | European-African wait, i'll google a bit | 18:36 |
| European-African | tschaka^: ok | 18:36 |
| otake1234 | Slart, i know its crazy. i can successfully load 22 striped sets. i really wish i had zfs. | 18:36 |

| erdem_ | hi | 18:36 |
| Slart | tschaka^: open the file /etc/hosts .. check if there is some kind of domain name after the local computer name.. if so, you can remove it | 18:36 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | Slart: how do i save it or does it automatically save when i close gconf? | 18:37 |
| Slart | tschaka^: just remove the domain stuff... ie mycomputer.localdomain --> mycomputer | 18:37 |
| tschaka^ | European-African http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771649 | 18:37 |

| tschaka^ | erdem_ type "/join #ubuntu-tr" | 18:43 |
| terbeaux | however the host system doesn't have usb | 18:43 |
| erdem_ | how #ubuntu-tr joined | 18:43 |
| tschaka^ | European-African right. 127.0.0.1 should do it. | 18:43 |
| tschaka^ | erdem_ /join #ubuntu-tr | 18:43 |
| erdem_ | how | 18:43 |
| tschaka^ | type it in the line where u write. | 18:43 |

| Nickey | Jack_Sparrow: ...it was the same... | 19:16 |
| phantomas_ | Jack_Sparrow: ok... but just to know how can i do this? | 19:16 |
| reenignEesreveR | is us.archive.ubuntu.com working for everyone? | 19:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | phantomas_ However it was setup to /home.. you can change it to whatever.. | 19:16 |
| tschaka^ | anarkix let me try something, second | 19:16 |
| Miesco | Where are the ubuntu sounds in the package ubuntu-sounds | 19:16 |
| ASULutzy | Nickey: Ubuntu doesn't really come with any "bloatware" the stuff it loads on startup is pretty much only the things you "need" there are maybe a couple daemons that you could cut, but for the most part Ubuntu is pretty snappy as it is | 19:16 |
| reenignEesreveR | ubuntu's repository seems down | 19:17 |
| Miesco | reenignEesreveR: Lots of mirrors | 19:17 |
| Nickey | hmm, why is it so slow then... | 19:17 |
| Slart | reenignEesreveR: it works if I enter the url in a browser | 19:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickey It isnt for the rest of us.. | 19:17 |
| ASULutzy | reenignEesreveR: There are lots of repositories? | 19:17 |
| anarkix | tschaka^: ok tyt and thanks for answering me | 19:17 |
| failure | I have a repository setup, but I can't seem to get into it remotely. I added myself via cvsd-passwd however it says authentication failed. I checked to see that I am included in the passwd file under CVSROOT and I am. | 19:17 |
| Nickey | Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean? | 19:17 |
| ASULutzy | reenignEesreveR: I just successfully ran apt-get update from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com | 19:17 |
| LogicalDash | Nickey, what are your computer's specs like? | 19:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickey for me and most users XP is lower than ubuntu | 19:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slower | 19:18 |
| LogicalDash | Nickey, you could switch to Xfce if you're working with a small amount of RAM | 19:18 |
| Jrz | ok | 19:18 |
| Nickey | Pentium 3GHz and 2GB | 19:18 |
| Nickey | *Pentium 4 | 19:18 |
| Nickey | 3GHz | 19:18 |
| reenignEesreveR | if my ubuntu machine is not resolving addresses, what could be wrong? | 19:18 |
| m-c | Has anyone tried installing a different motherboard in a computer? Do you think a re-installation of Ubuntu is required? | 19:19 |
| Nickey | Jack_Sparrow: How can that be? :( | 19:19 |
| ASULutzy | reenignEesreveR: Weird DNS thing? | 19:19 |
| frostburn | reenignEesreveR, dns, cat /etc/resolv.conf | 19:19 |
| sharpe_uk | reenign, could be lots of things, DNS problem is most likely | 19:19 |
| LogicalDash | Nickey, how about the hard drive? A slow hard drive slows everything down | 19:19 |
| phantomas_ | Jack_Sparrow i mean how can i change the permissions of /home/<folder> to +rwx for my user | 19:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickey I am not here to debate... it is a fact of life for most users.. SOme have odd hardware that isnt supported that is slowing things down but in general it is faster | 19:19 |
| conrad_ | ASULutzy: thanks a million, that did it! | 19:19 |
| reenignEesreveR | root@host# cat /etc/resolv.conf -> nameserver 20*.11*.8*.12* | 19:19 |
| Nickey | LogicalDash: I'm just saying winxp was faster on the same machine.... | 19:19 |
| anarkix | btw i just need to add something, when i was on kubuntu, i used to see the irc channel for just asking and answering, and there are other room for off topics. :) | 19:19 |
| tschaka^ | anarkix its a matter of being mounted to /dos. try to mount it to /media/xxx1 or whatever its called. the drive address u can find out by simply typing mount and see which /dev/xxx is mounted to /dos . if its mounted to /media/xxx it can be accessed from anywhere u like (desktop, side panel in nautilus and comuter) | 19:20 |
| ASULutzy | conrad_: No problem :) | 19:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !chown | 19:20 |

| rampageoberon | reenignEesreveR: why are you using a root prompt? | 19:20 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/ is ther mirror that i use for anybody having mirror problems, i get 300K dloads from them and haven't had a problem with it not being up to date | 19:20 |
| Nickey | Jack_Sparrow: what are the minimal specs for ubuntu? | 19:20 |
| * reenignEesreveR loves to be root ;) | 19:20 | |
| rampageoberon | reenignEesreveR: you do realise root can be dangerous | 19:20 |
| frostburn | sudo -i gives root... reenignEesreveR that doesn't look like a valid ip | 19:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickey 512 ram is the sweet spot lower than that you will take a performance hit. | 19:20 |
| carpediem | does anyone know, how do I change my default browser from firefox to opera? I can't seem to find it.... | 19:21 |
| anarkix | tschaka^: so i just have to change the mounting point | 19:21 |
| rampageoberon | reenignEesreveR: root should only be used when necessary | 19:21 |
| anarkix | ? | 19:21 |
| reenignEesreveR | rampageoberon: i screwed my machine by changing the hostname and not updating the hosts file ... now im undoing using root | 19:21 |
| rampageoberon | reenignEesreveR: change the ip to 208.67.222.222 | 19:21 |
| Nickey | Jack_Sparrow: I have 2GB.... :( Isn't ubuntu tweakable? There must be things I don't need in it. | 19:21 |
| sharpe_uk | you can test the speed of your hard disk with 'sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda' (obviously replace sda with whatever your drive actually is) | 19:21 |
| sharpe_uk | on mine I get 68.34Mb/s (which suprised the hell out of me..) | 19:21 |
| tschaka^ | anarkix yes. something in /media/ be sure that the directory where u want to mount it exists, u might want to do "sudo mkdir /media/YOURDRIVEADRESSORMOUNTPOINT" before. | 19:21 |
| rampageoberon | Nickey: 2GB ram is sufficient | 19:21 |
| LogicalDash | Nickey: How big is your swap partition? | 19:21 |
| rampageoberon | Nickey: or is this hard drive space? | 19:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nickey you can always compile your own kernel, but most users end up with something slower than generic setupo | 19:22 |

| Ette | i have ubuntu on my laptop and my desktop. i want to take it off my laptop. do i need to reinstall an bootloader on windows? | 19:24 |
| LogicalDash | Nickey, the default swap size is 2GB, perhaps you should grow your swap partition | 19:24 |
| XXer | What is the extension of executables in Linux (In Windows it would be .exe) also how can I find where the executable file of a program icon that is in the application menu (In Windows I would right click on the icon and in the properties it would tell me where the the file is on the hard drive) | 19:25 |
| rampageoberon | Ette: boot windows with in recovery mode and run fixmbr and fixboot | 19:25 |
| frostburn | with 2gb of ram, you shouldn't be invading swap space at any point unless you're running a gigantic database or something | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ette boot windows cd and fixmbr in recovery mode | 19:25 |
| LogicalDash | XXer: we don't use filename extensions generally | 19:25 |
| ironfoot_495 | Hi, can I get some info on hmail? | 19:25 |
| rampageoberon | XXer: for debian based distros its .deb | 19:25 |
| Nickey | LogicalDash: why does it need it so big? I had 512 swapfile in winxp, that's why I chose that much | 19:25 |
| tschaka^ | Phantomas to do it the easy way, "sudo nautilus", navigate there, and right click on the directory, click the tab permissions or whatever, and adjust it there. | 19:25 |

| Insurrecto | Jack_Sparrow: Everytime i burn a cd it gives me MD5 error and fail to read package.gz | 19:25 |
| ASULutzy | tschaka, Phantomas: I think you should use gksudo nautilus instead of sudo nautilus, right? | 19:26 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Ette Some mfg now charge for the cd they should have givin you in the first place | 19:26 |
| rampageoberon | XXer: well .deb are install files, and executable applications don't have extensions | 19:26 |
| LogicalDash | XXer: .deb is the extension for Debian packages, which contain software distributions; the actual executables generally have no extension | 19:26 |
| frostburn | Nickey, you probably don't need any | 19:26 |
| coobster | i got a inspiron 6400 laptop with no wifi | 19:27 |

| Phantomas | i am sure i remember it correctly | 19:27 |

I do however check the unredirect full screen windows under the general settings tab in compiz config manager. I have to do this becaue fglrx has a weird flickering bug when using compiz (ATI sucks.) | 19:50 |

| ASULutzy | So I'll fire this one out there again see if anyone bites. I set up ssh on my home machine a long time ago and recently changed it so it would not accept passwords, only my key. But now if I want to for some reason use the "connect to server" feature built into ubuntu to connect to the home machine through ssh (sftp) it fails because it doesn't seem like there's a way to specify the key location instead of a password... Any help? | 19:51 |

| ASULutzy | I wonder if I should file a bug report for that... it seems dumb that Ubuntu's built in "connect to server" for ssh only allows you to connect to password protected ssh servers and not public/private key pair ones. | 19:52 |

| bartmon | hey guys. I've scanned some images and now i want to put them all in one PDF file. how can i do that? I've looked at printer options but there is no spooling option. | 20:11 |
| Slart | draginxx: cat /etc/mtab | 20:11 |
| theFATMAN | ompaul: ............thanks for the 'warning' at least | 20:12 |
| julle_ | Where are the monitor settings in Hardy, In gutsy they where in the Administrations menu | 20:12 |
| chetnick | hi guys, i am connected to remote network over VPN. Now, they have Windows shared printer on one of the computers. I want to be able to print to that printer. Now when i try to add printer (windows printer via samba) it just see's local workgroups and printers. Can somebody help me with this? | 20:12 |
| Slart | bartmon: check if imagemagick can do pdf's.. I almost think it does | 20:12 |
| bartmon | ok | 20:12 |
| wiijii | chetnick: you need to set up cups | 20:12 |
| wiijii | I think | 20:12 |
| ompaul | Slart, you got a pm ;-) | 20:12 |
| natjo2 | does anybody have any experience with wrt54gs linksys wireless routers? | 20:13 |
| wiijii | yeah I have one | 20:13 |
| wols_ | !anyone | natjo2 | 20:13 |
| ubottu | natjo2: 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? | 20:13 |
| draginxx | hmm ok, I tried to umount the ~/Desktop folder after I mounted something to it, but I still see the mounted info on my desktop =/ | 20:13 |
| natjo2 | okay real question is i can't connect wireless devices to my wrt54gs linksys router | 20:14 |
| draginxx | df is not showing anything, mount isn't, and etc. | 20:14 |
| wols_ | draginxx: is your mtab empty? | 20:14 |
| ompaul | bartmon, you can insert picture from file in openoffice and generate a document if you want | 20:14 |
| draginxx | wols_, no | 20:14 |
| natjo2 | and i can't modify the setting for it in firefox | 20:14 |
| afabian | draginxx: I'd try clicking an item on the desktop to select it, and hit F5 to refresh. | 20:14 |
| wiijii | natjo2: that's a bit vague, it could be many things. What is working | 20:14 |
| Slart | draginxx: I would do a reboot.. or at least restart x.. who knows what that mount did to your desktop | 20:14 |
| UncleCJ | natjo2: Can you see it at all? | 20:14 |
| draginxx | afabian, that work thanks :) | 20:15 |
| ompaul | bartmon, then you can export the doc as a PDF | 20:15 |
| draginxx | Thanks guys :) | 20:15 |
| draginxx | Scared me half to death heh | 20:15 |
| andrewboktor | guys | 20:15 |
| andrewboktor | need help | 20:15 |
| compubomb | what is the default packages to install when you decide you need to compile stuff ? | 20:15 |
| bartmon | ompaul: thanks, but i know about that and it gives a white edge around images. I would like the PDF "slides" to be perfectly sized to fit my images | 20:15 |
| andrewboktor | now on ubuntu 7.10 ad-hoc mode worked on my wireless card | 20:15 |
| UncleCJ | natjo2: I just had similar issue with a WRT56GL... US doesn't have channels 12 and 13 :-) | 20:15 |
| andrewboktor | iwconfig eth1 essid "andrewhoc" key s:bokto mode ad-hoc channel 5 ap any | 20:16 |
| natjo2 | well the thing is i'm connected through this router | 20:16 |
| ompaul | bartmon, stick them into a presentation then | 20:16 |
| Slart | bartmon: I did that a couple of years ago with photos.. I wonder if I used ghostscript.. or imagemagick.. it was command line though.. I remember that much | 20:16 |
| phatmonkey | I have this in my user crontab to start rtorrent on boot: "@reboot screen -d -m -S torrent rtorrent" it doesn't work for whatever reason, but it does if I start it manually. other crontab entries work fine. it's a xen domU if that makes a difference | 20:16 |
| natjo2 | so the router works i just can't modify the settings | 20:16 |
| compubomb | anyone ? | 20:16 |
| Slart | compubomb: build-essential | 20:17 |
| bartmon | compubomb: gcc | 20:17 |
| Slart | compubomb: it will install and setup the most common stuff | 20:17 |
| wiijii | natjo2: why not? | 20:17 |
| bartmon | compubomb: both of those :) | 20:17 |

| Slart | zamba: I'm not sure you can.. | 20:17 |
| zamba | .. without reinstalling | 20:17 |
| natjo2 | wiijii: that's what i'm trying to figure out i try the 192.168.1.1 thing and it doesn't do anything | 20:17 |
| Ddorda | hello | 20:17 |
| UncleCJ | natjo2: Are you still on 192.168.1.0-net? So if you do "ifconfig eth0" it should say 192.168.1.100 or something, and you should be able to connect to http://192.168.1.1 ? | 20:17 |
| george__ | hey guys | 20:17 |
| zamba | Slart: why not? isn't it really just the kernel? | 20:17 |
| Slart | zamba: you'd need to install all those libs again | 20:18 |
| wiijii | natjo2: are you connected via ethernet? | 20:18 |
| Slart | zamba: oh no.. it's a lot more than the kernel | 20:18 |
| Ddorda | could any1 help me make the directory which is written here: http://client.silabsoft.org/loaderror_download%20client.html ? | 20:18 |
| UncleCJ | natjo2: ...replacing eth0 with the device you're connected through | 20:18 |
| Slart | zamba: all the binaries.. libraries.. etc | 20:18 |
| george__ | gdesklets will not work on my computer | 20:18 |
| george__ | i installed it | 20:18 |
| george__ | but it does nothing | 20:18 |
| natjo2 | alright i' | 20:18 |
| natjo2 | m connected through my modem to the router to my computer | 20:18 |
| zamba | Slart: an easy way of reinstalling without loosing files and other stuff? :) | 20:19 |
| george__ | :( | 20:19 |
| wols_ | natjo2: can you change your router settings with other OSes? | 20:19 |
| wiijii | natjo2: via an ethernet cable? I mean, your computer plugs into the router, which plugs into the modem, right? | 20:19 |
| andrewboktor | on ubuntu 8.04, eth1 became wlan0 | 20:19 |
| andrewboktor | iwconfig wlan0 essid "andrewhoc" key s:bokto mode ad-hoc channel 5 ap any | 20:19 |
| Slart | zamba: what's the partition setup? everything in one big partition? | 20:19 |
| natjo2 | wiijii: yes an ethernet cable and wols_, i have no other OS | 20:19 |
| andrewboktor | Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : | 20:19 |

| zamba | i can suspend just fine, but the problem is resuming | 20:20 |
| wiijii | natjo2: if you are connected internet via the router, it must be working ,so presumably you should be able to connect to it | 20:20 |
| wiijii | andrewboktor: is that an ExpressCard? | 20:20 |
| wols_ | natjo2: what IP do you try in ffox? | 20:20 |

| jarco|linux | ubuntu server standqrd supports sata drives? | 20:22 |
| Ddorda | wols. that didn't help me | 20:22 |

| andrewboktor | wiijii, so.. ? | 20:22 |

| wiijii | strange | 20:23 |
| wiijii | did you install special drivers previously? | 20:23 |

| wols_ | housam1991: what are you trying to do? | 20:24 |
| afabian | Ward1983: Yes, I did. | 20:24 |
| Ward1983 | afabian, make an image of it with dd, then use photorec on that image to retrieve your data | 20:25 |

| ASULutzy | Ironeye: heh, this isn't exactly the channel for that, but do you have a factory restore CD? Or some kind of cd that came with the system to restore it to original settings? Otherwise, do you have a restore partition on your hard drive that came with a system restore thing installed to it? | 20:27 |

| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: in system monitor do View all processes and see what is using up the CPU | 20:27 |
| wols_ | Cliph: you don't use apt to install your own packages. use dpkg | 20:27 |
| mortal1 | I installed the telnet server, but I can't seem to start it no matter what I try | 20:27 |
| Cliph | wols_: I do, I have my own apt repository for this | 20:28 |
| compubomb | can you compile and install alsa-dev on top of the current alsa driver on ubuntu ? | 20:28 |
| wols_ | Cliph: then it's not set up properly | 20:28 |

After upgrading, we discovered that we couldn't connect to our corporate servers with 8.04, despite having no problems with 7.10 and previous versions.

| Techiedragon | I installed Xorg; or tried to at least; and now when the system boots; it gets to a point where it freezes and I can't do anything. If I try to reboot into recovery mode I get the same thing. I can't seem to do much at the grub command linel. | 20:31 |
| ASULutzy | Ironeye: that's a lowercase L | 20:31 |

| afabian | apastinen: My impression is that one wanting to run unstable software ought to have some fortitude in reading official documentation and figuring out the development process. But, anyway, all Linux distributions have some kind of development branch, and you can usually run it. Ubuntu is no different. | 20:32 |

| Cliph | wols_: yes | 20:33 |
| julle_ | Is there a solution to why my background disappears when i startup my comp. Yes i have compiz running | 20:33 |
| Pici | apastinen: The closest thing to a testing repo is -proposed. But thats not really the same thing. Yes, just the live kernel plus any little patches, not a full version bump | 20:33 |
| natjo2 | wols_: and that is done by going to synaptic? | 20:33 |
| mortal1 | does ubuntu 8.04 have something that keeps it from working correctly with my ata cdrom? | 20:33 |
| Kremlin[NA] | rampageoberon: if I quickly switch between resources and processes tab I can see that it is "Xorg" which is taking all the resources. But as I navigate away Xorg falls to sleep instantly | 20:33 |
| twiztidmind | is there anyway to get past this X-DOM shit when i download video files, i know it's an encoder but how do i get them to work without buying the decoder | 20:33 |

| mortal1 | I mean, i can boot the cd, i can usually start the install, and then it craps out | 20:33 |
| apastinen | Pici: sounds great.. | 20:33 |
| MrE-- | Hey guys. Im new to Ubuntu (installed yesterday), and I was wondering what email server is the best? | 20:33 |
| ASULutzy | Ironeye: Oh... So you overwrote your Windows partition... Yea, so Windows is completely gone, that's a bummer. Also there's no restore partition on your hard drive. If you want to go back to Windows from here you'll need either a system restore CD that came with your computer, or a Windows install CD. | 20:33 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: yes i get the same from Xorg occassionally, no idea what to do about it | 20:33 |
| joaopinto | !best | MrE-- | 20:34 |
| ubottu | MrE--: 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. | 20:34 |

| compubomb | how would someone go about getting extended memmory support in ubuntu ? i'm running the i686 kernel generic, but my system have 4gb of ram, core2duo e6400, i would think it hsould show atleast 3gb of ram, but it only lists 2gb. | 20:34 |

| wols_ | compubomb: check for a bigmem kernel | 20:35 |
| Kremlin[NA] | rampageoberon: Strange.. and I guess its only there when the resources tab is open :( Doesnt Xorg have something to do with the graptics? Could I be that I have a custom resolution or bad numbers in my custom res ? | 20:35 |
| jtaylor13 | group: how do i install this? NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run | 20:35 |
| afabian | apastinen: Someone mentioned proposed. I'd stay away from messing with the kernel unless you're having a problem. I'd look in the proposed updates repository, download the deb manually, and install it, rather than updating the proposed repository. | 20:35 |
| Andri[DK] | Is it possible to remotely change display managers for other users? | 20:35 |
| ASULutzy | Ironeye: That hard drive is probably a SATA drive, and XP won't install to those without the right drivers | 20:35 |
| wols_ | !nvidia | jtaylor13 | 20:35 |
| ubottu | jtaylor13: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:35 |
| krzysztof | Who`s using Compiz Fusion? | 20:35 |
| afabian | apastinen: Rather than enabling the proposed repository, I mean. | 20:35 |
| Ironeye | ASULutzy: this pc used to run windows untill i installed windows | 20:35 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: Xorg is pretty much responsible for your desktop (X window sytem) | 20:35 |
| wols_ | Andri[DK]: there is only one display manager for everyone on the system | 20:35 |
| Ironeye | unavailable: if you mean a legal windows disc then yes i do | 20:36 |
| unavailable | asulutzy i have sata, xp mce installed just fine without drivers | 20:36 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: no idea about resoultions | 20:36 |
| ASULutzy | Ironeye: Right, but XP will not install to a SATA drive from cd without the correct drivers | 20:36 |
| wols_ | Ironeye: this is #ubuntu, not ##windows | 20:36 |
| wols_ | !ot | ASULutzy | 20:36 |
| ubottu | ASULutzy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:36 |
| natjo2 | wols_: when i go to synaptic three things with ppp are installed: ppp, pppconfi, and pppoeconf. do i uninstall all of them? | 20:36 |
| Tobias92 | Openoffice won't launch :(. No response when I click it in the menu, and when I type it in a terminal it just sits there, no output at all. | 20:36 |
| unavailable | asulutzy i had it work just fine with SATA with no drivers | 20:36 |
| Ironeye | wols_: im running ubuntu and it caused more problems than its worth so i can sort issues out in her | 20:36 |
| wols_ | unavailable: this is #ubuntu. please keep on topic | 20:36 |
| compubomb | wols_: nothing like that exists, i don't see anything involving the words bigmem | 20:37 |
| wols_ | Ironeye: the problem you are discussing right now is not ubuntu | 20:37 |
| apastinen | afabian: i think i can live with it by setting apt::default something i can't remember it has many years i have use it.. | 20:37 |
| Kremlin[NA] | rampageoberon: Ahh ok, just seems so strange.. I dont want to CPu working at 70% 24/7 when its a server and is never turned off | 20:37 |
| Andri[DK] | wols: what I mean is that if i'm root. Can I make the user run the program on his own desktop. F.e. if I wan't to change window managers when battery power is initiated | 20:37 |
| compubomb | i did apt-cache search kernel | grep "bigmem" | 20:37 |
| compubomb | nothing. | 20:37 |
| wols_ | compubomb: what videocard(s) do you have? how much memory? | 20:37 |
| afabian | apastinen: If you just want to enable proposed, there's a checkbox in the Synaptic options to do it. | 20:37 |
| joaopinto | Ironeye, so either you post your Ubuntu problems here or you join ##windows for your windows problems | 20:37 |
| compubomb | wols_: my pc has 4gb of ram, i have 2 7600gt video cards in sli | 20:37 |
| wols_ | Andri[DK]: I don't get what you mean | 20:37 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: if its a pure server you don't need the gui, see ubuntu server | 20:37 |
| Ironeye | wols_: since installing it i have had no end of problems, if someone here can help then where is the harm | 20:37 |
| stu_ | hi, how can I determine which driver/module is enabling a USB device? I want to remove it and replace it with a new driver | 20:37 |
| ASULutzy | wols_, Ironeye, unavailable: Sorry, just trying to help someone out. @unavailable, that's why it breaks during setup and says "Push f8 to install custom drivers" or whatever. But yea, sorry this topic is out of the scope of #ubuntu I suppose. Ironeye if you want to pm me I suppose I could and help you from there, but Windows in general is fussy about what you install it to. The reason it's saying it doesn't detect any hard drives is becau | 20:37 |
| wols_ | compubomb: I mean videocard ram | 20:38 |
| Andri[DK] | wols: I'm trying to write a acpi script that kills compiz when I'm on battery power but I also need it to start metacity | 20:38 |
| apastinen | afabian: eh.. ok i try to find it.. i don't normally like this graphical ui.. | 20:38 |
| compubomb | wols_: 512mb i believe | 20:38 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: my computer is never turned off too, it does take a lot of cpu occassionally but not alwaus | 20:38 |
| compubomb | wols_: i don't care about the video card memmory, i want my PC memmory to show up greater than 2gb | 20:38 |
| Next1 | sudo dhclient | 20:38 |
| wols_ | Andri[DK]: root can become any user and start stuff as this user. so your script could too | 20:38 |
| compubomb | wols_: i have 4gb of ddr2 pc800 ram. | 20:38 |
| afabian | apastinen: If you really want to, you can uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and update your sources.. however you do it. With aptitude, or whatever. | 20:38 |
| compubomb | it should show atleast 3gb or something. | 20:38 |
| wols_ | compubomb: I don't care about what you say either then. have a nice day | 20:39 |

| Ironeye | ASULutzy: you have pm | 20:39 |
| afabian | apastinen: Actually, there are no lines to uncomment. You'd have to add them. you'd just use hardy-proposed as the distribution. man sources.list should clue you in on the file format. | 20:40 |
| wols_ | antirobotrobot: hardy has 3.0rcsomething. this is not new enough for you? | 20:40 |

| bayko7 | Hello, I need to install the drivers for my radeon x600 but the drivers off the site cause my xserver to not start | 20:41 |
| wols_ | bayko7: which drivers exactly? | 20:42 |
| Kremlin[NA] | rampageoberon: I know I dont but Im a total linux noob go I have the gui for configuring things hehe | 20:42 |
| wols_ | Noodels: reseat the card into another slot | 20:42 |
| bayko7 | the linux drivers for my x600 off the ati website | 20:42 |
| laughtear | i need the name of the most succesful dvd burning software i can install by add/remove (to back up a recovery dvd) | 20:42 |
| bayko7 | fglrx drivers | 20:42 |
| Noodels | wols_: Can I do that? It's a laptop. | 20:42 |
| ASULutzy | bayko7: Have you tried using EnvyNG? | 20:42 |
| Odd-rationale | laughtear: k3b or brasero | 20:42 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: fair enough but the server OS was made with no gui for a very good security reason | 20:42 |
| bayko7 | I'm not sure how to go abbout installing with envy | 20:43 |
| wols_ | Noodels: then you can't. but I don't think it's a irq problem either | 20:43 |
| spdf | bayko7: Have you tried using the restricted drivers application? | 20:43 |
| bayko7 | yes | 20:43 |
| kerin | IS it possible to prevent installing "extra" packages? | 20:43 |
| Noodels | wols_: I'll get the /proc/interrupts and ask you what you think? | 20:43 |
| rampageoberon | Kremlin[NA]: and the best way to learn is to use the command line, as using the gui is never the solution | 20:43 |
| wols_ | bayko7: when it fails and gets black, pastebin your Xorg.0.log file | 20:43 |
| ASULutzy | bayko7: Just google EnvyNG, it'll be like, the first search result | 20:43 |
| Kremlin[NA] | rampageoberon: Its only for personal NAS storage and private ftp.. all other ports are locked anyway so I dont think anyone would hack it anyway | 20:43 |
| natjo2 | wols_: you didn't answer my question earlier about uninstalling pppd where do i go to do it and how | 20:43 |
| laughtear | Odd-rationale: ok, i know brasero, but this dvd of "hp" is protected one, probably so brasero could not make it... any alternative else? | 20:43 |
| wols_ | natjo2: yes | 20:43 |
| bayko7 | I'll try envy and get back to you guys, thanks a bunch | 20:43 |
| ASULutzy | bayko7: You should probably paste your Xorg.0.log file, and maybe dmesg has something or another | 20:43 |
| keri | im using xubuntu and when i plugged in my kodak easyshare c433 camera to the usb port, nothing showed up, neither did anytning as a drive. what do i need to install to get this to pick up my pictures? | 20:44 |
| wols_ | natjo2: the answer is yes. but: you will lose internet the at first | 20:44 |
| ASULutzy | bayko7: But yea, EnvyNG usually works | 20:44 |
| ZenoTorando | I've a WLAN with an 13 keys HEX encryption but UBUNTO doesn't accept it...how can I get the right sttings | 20:44 |
| bayko7 | ok thank you ASULutzy | 20:44 |
| afabian | kerin: What are "extra" packages? | 20:44 |
| Starnestommy | ZenoTorando: what kind of hex encryption, wpa, wep, or something else? | 20:44 |
| Odd-rationale | laughtear: well, if libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repo cannot unencrypt it then mostly likely no... | 20:44 |
| natjo2 | wols_: so all three pppoeconf, pppconfig, and ppp | 20:45 |
| ZenoTorando | @Starnestommy HEX | 20:45 |
| ZenoTorando | WEP | 20:45 |
| kerin | afabian: like, when i try to install wget it says "the following extra packages will be installed:" | 20:45 |
| keri | does kodak cameras not get autodetected in xubuntu? | 20:45 |
| enterneo1 | has anyone been able to mount windows shares over hardy heron successfully? | 20:45 |
| laughtear | Odd-rationale: arr.. that's a little bit complicated for an amateur user like me...:) | 20:45 |
| wols_ | ZenoTorando: since WEP is totally useless, either use WPA or no encryption | 20:45 |
| Starnestommy | kerin: it installs other packages needed by that one | 20:45 |
| Techiedragon | wep can be cracked in under 3 mins | 20:46 |

| Noodels | wols_: Here is the line: 5: 471 XT-PIC-XT Intel 82801DB-ICH4, bcm43xx | 20:46 |
| ZenoTorando | i know i know but some older clients doesnt accept WPA so I've to use the WEP at the moment | 20:46 |
| wols_ | laughtear: recovery DVDs are not movies. they are not encrypted withz CSS. just use any DVD software you find | 20:46 |
| Uplink | whats the command to check my kernel version? | 20:46 |

| rafae1 | Hello, I am having some strange problems. I installed ubuntu, them copied to this computer the contents of my previous home folder, includen the hidden files inside my actual home folder. I don' t know exactly if my problems began at this point, cause I' ve already deleted all my hidden files and nothing. I have some strange behaviours. One is in my themes, I can' t change the window border colour, that is the same blue from my previous XFCE theme in th | 20:53 |
| datapolitical | scuse me | 20:53 |
| datapolitical | i'm wrong | 20:54 |
| Floggin | So will this syntax " Floggin: open a chat with nickserv, then tell it "register <password> <email> " while using gamesurge too if it will | 20:54 |
| Lynet | datapolitical: Most, if not all, "motherboard raid" is really software raid; the raid part is in the windows driver. | 20:54 |
| Qnix | rafae1: your having the problem because you copied your .* files that effects your theme and lots of other things | 20:54 |
| rafae1 | Yes, but I already deleted. Created another user, and nothing. Maybe I messed something besides my home folder? | 20:55 |
| afancy | Hi, In ubuntu, when i minimize a window, it will hide automatically. How to make it not hide? thanks | 20:55 |
| afancy | does anyone meet this problem? | 20:55 |
| afancy | sorry, I cannot find the ansower by google | 20:55 |
| Starnestommy | afancy: make sure that the window list applet is on the panel | 20:56 |
| rafae1 | Qnix: I thought creating another user would reset it, but no... | 20:56 |
| Floggin | that is because google sucks | 20:56 |
| rafae1 | Qnix. Alos deleted all hidden files from roots home | 20:56 |
| Floggin | try using a real engine www.dogpile.com | 20:56 |
| Floggin | if it doesn't find it then your lost ont eh search | 20:56 |
| joaopinto | !language | Floggin | 20:56 |
| ubottu | Floggin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:56 |
| afancy | Starnestommy: what is the window list applet? | 20:56 |
| stemount^ | joaopinto: harsh | 20:57 |
| datapolitical | i take it back, its a seperate raid card | 20:57 |
| joaopinto | afancy, when you mean, the app hides, does it get listed on the app list window ? | 20:57 |
| Floggin | Watch my language what | 20:57 |
| ompaul | joaopinto, it is a web site | 20:57 |
| Qnix | rafae1: :S why!! | 20:57 |
| Noodels | The pastebin, when I put a syslog in there, do I put the whole syslog or just the necessary bits? | 20:57 |
| Starnestommy | afancy: right click on a panel, select "add to panel", then look for "window list", select it, then hit the "add" button | 20:57 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: what chip? | 20:57 |
| Qnix | rafae1: deleting the hidden file will restart them and everything will be default in the next login | 20:57 |
| rafae1 | Qnix, Yes, but didn' t work for me. I still get only blue window border, instead of normal human colours | 20:58 |
| rafae1 | Qnix, and this strange behaviour applies to others themes... | 20:58 |
| joaopinto | ompaul, I am aware of that, but stating that "google sucks" is not a website, and is not helpfull either | 20:58 |
| afancy | Ok, thanks | 20:59 |
| snmpee | I'm looking for a GUI tool that will let me combine, splice and otherwise manipulate videos, most specifically FLV's | 20:59 |
| rafae1 | Qnix I created a new user also, and this new user gets only bl;ue colours... Besides this problem of not beeing able to set my keybindings, wich I don' t know if are realted | 20:59 |

| datapolitical | yea, it's on the board, nm | 21:00 |
| carpediem | Hello all again | 21:00 |
| datapolitical | is it worth getting a raid card | 21:00 |
| andre | high guys | 21:00 |
| datapolitical | if i want to use the machine to store a shitload worth of data | 21:00 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: depends on usage | 21:00 |
| rafae1 | Qnix - is there a deeper why to restore the default settings than creating new user. Tried reinstallation of numerous packages, as human theme, metacity, etc. But still nothing | 21:00 |
| datapolitical | and not have it fail | 21:00 |
| Crane | hello | 21:00 |
| carpediem | guys, I have installed ubuntu and I had problems with my display so I used "metacity --replace" to turn compiz off | 21:00 |
| carpediem | but how do I remove compiz? | 21:00 |
| ompaul | !language | datapolitical | 21:00 |
| carpediem | and use metacity by default? | 21:00 |
| ubottu | datapolitical: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:00 |
| andre | I can't play any audio or video files :( can anyone help? | 21:01 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: a software raid is more reliable actually | 21:01 |
| datapolitical | ah | 21:01 |
| datapolitical | using, i forget what it's called | 21:01 |
| Crane | Man sound problems are a pain. | 21:01 |
| joaopinto | rafae1, if creating a new user didn't help, than you changed system wide settings... | 21:01 |
| wols_ | if a raidcard fails you need the exact same card again | 21:01 |
| Qnix | rafae1: heheheh i don't know acctually im a GUIless dude , thats why im using irssi :D | 21:01 |
| ompaul | datapolitical, note that the disks are the main point that might fail if your raid card goes you got problems big problems single point of failure | 21:01 |
| datapolitical | yea | 21:01 |
| rafae1 | :) | 21:01 |
| datapolitical | so here's the config I want | 21:01 |
| rafae1 | So what should I do?? Any step before having to install all over again | 21:01 |
| ompaul | !enter | datapolitical | 21:01 |
| ubottu | datapolitical: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:01 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: with linux softtware raid you just reinstall the OS on another machine | 21:02 |
| datapolitical | right now i have 6 drives in the machine, all running raid 5 | 21:02 |
| datapolitical | ah | 21:02 |
| datapolitical | oka | 21:02 |
| datapolitical | hehe | 21:02 |
| FloodBot1 | datapolitical: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:02 |
| Qnix | rafae1: :D hope you'll find someone to help you .. or just get the important file and use windows :P LOL or reinstall deb | 21:02 |
| rafae1 | I also work without gui in gentoo, but sometimes I use image editing programs... | 21:02 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: stop that entiering already | 21:02 |
| Qnix | rafae1: ;) | 21:02 |
| wols_ | rafae1: libcaca0 to the rescue then and you never have to leave CLI! | 21:02 |
| datapolitical | anyway, I'd like to (sorry about the entering) set up 4 drives in raid 5 as storage, one as a boot drive for windows, one as a boot drive for ubuntu (each drive is 250GB) | 21:02 |
| Qnix | rafae1: i used to work on gentoo for a long time ... i love it!!! it wastes the whole day in installing things on it :P LOL!! | 21:02 |
| pen | if I use evdev, the hotplug function does not work | 21:03 |
| pen | how do I make it work with hotplug? | 21:03 |
| ompaul | !lol | Qnix | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Qnix: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 21:03 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: doesn't answers the question: what do you want to do with the raid | 21:03 |
| Qnix | ompaul: :P | 21:03 |
| rafae1 | wols: what is licaca0 | 21:03 |
| Qnix | ubottu: okey sorry bot | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Factoid okey sorry bot not found | 21:03 |
| wols_ | rafae1: libcaca. look it up | 21:03 |
| rafae1 | ok | 21:03 |
| datapolitical | wols, I'd like to use it to store all the data I'd like to access in both windows and ubuntu (movies, music, etc) | 21:03 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: not gonna happen | 21:04 |
| Qnix | rafae1: libcaca0 | 21:04 |
| jenda | Any tips in salvaging data from a corrupt .doc file? Opening with OO.org results with "ASCII Filter Options" and then a "could not read data from file", while cat results in some text, then some jibberish and then an I/O error | 21:04 |
| Qnix | rafae1: its a library to support caca in some multimedia players like mplayer libcaca views videos in ASII | 21:04 |
| Qnix | rafae1: ASCII | 21:04 |
| wols_ | jenda: file <file you want to open> | 21:05 |
| Lynet | datapolitical: Windows can't read a linux software-raid, so your best bet there is to set the raid up in Windows and then use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto to see if you can access the raid from Linux. | 21:05 |
| datapolitical | hm | 21:05 |
| Noodels | wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19128/ | 21:05 |
| wols_ | datapolitical: ideally you buy yourself something like an icybox and put it under your table | 21:05 |
| Noodels | Is that right? I wasn't sure whether to put the whole thing or not. | 21:06 |
| jenda | wols_: that just outputs "data" | 21:06 |
| snmpee | Lynet i think it's a fair statement to say that hardware raid is generally preferable | 21:06 |
| wols_ | Noodels: un 6 16:33:16 amanda-laptop NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan1/wireless): association took too long (>60s), failing activation. | 21:06 |
| Lynet | datapolitical: But as wols_ said, the best solution is probably to separate the storage to a separate box and access it over the network. Will remove any worries about which file syustem you should use on the raid. | 21:06 |
| joseph | hi all. how do i change my login screen? | 21:06 |

| joseph | hi all. how do i change my login screen? | 21:07 |
| snmpee | joseph you're asking the wrong question. What needs changing about it? | 21:07 |
| joseph | i just want it to look nicer | 21:07 |
| datapolitical | (icy, but which box?) | 21:07 |
| rafae1 | Ok, i will see it latter. But for restoring siustems setting in ubuntu no clue? Thought just reinstalling packages would be a solution bu t nope | 21:07 |
| snmpee | joseph you mean a different wallpaper or something? | 21:07 |
| joseph | ya | 21:07 |

| jenda | wols_: I understood ;) There isn't much you can do other than laugh :) | 21:10 |
| datapolitical | will NTFS work with ubuntu | 21:10 |

| snmpee | Tip that might save you an hour: if your sound is off when you upgrade to Hardy, check to see if the "Front" slider in ALSAmixer is turned all the way down. For some reason it did that to me on the upgrade | 21:16 |
| nickrud | sofiankrt, sounds right, pidof is intended to get the pid (what you asked for) | 21:16 |
| b4dreligion | hi all | 21:17 |
| b4dreligion | need some help | 21:17 |
| sofiankrt | nickrud: but if I search for ftp, it won't give me vsftpd, gftp etc, just ftp, right? | 21:17 |
| snmpee | Is it safe to say it's best to uninstall the nvidia driver before upgrading to Hardy? | 21:17 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: thanks! what does the awk part do? | 21:17 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, it parses the line into parameters (space delimited), and it prints the second parameter (which is the pid) | 21:18 |
| b4dreligion | ive made the download of ubunto but when i try to install the loader keeps loading for 5 minutes and then it appears a black screen with letters | 21:18 |
| Noodels | wols_: A line a just found in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, is this important?: blacklist bcm43xx | 21:18 |
| snmpee | i <3 that Hardy plays flash videos on AMD64 without a special hack | 21:18 |
| wols_ | snmpee: depends on the driver. if you installed it the ubuntu way, it will be fine. if you didn#t all bets are off | 21:18 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: is there a simpler way of getting the pid? | 21:18 |
| snmpee | wols_ hahahaha the ubuntu way doesn't give you the latest drivers with better accelleration in WINE games, so no. | 21:19 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, erm, using awk is simple, and a regular way to do it | 21:19 |
| wols_ | snmpee: you are a bit mistaken. but to be expected | 21:19 |

| orgthingy | wols_: i have 8.04 and the portable driver is a Palm | 21:24 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: yeah, bad example. I meant something like getting all ftp processes | 21:25 |
| Noodels | Alright, so I should definitely blacklist my ndiswrapper somehow? And if so, how? | 21:25 |
| wols_ | orgthingy: and what type of filesystem does it use? | 21:25 |
| delmar | hi everyone. I can't seem to start my 64bit desktop install. I WAS having issues similar to this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421876 but have overcome this. Now all I get no matter what I do is an (initramfs) prompt in a BusyBox shell. The installer wont start. Same if I try to boot to the live demo option, I just get BusyBox shell. | 21:25 |
| delmar | Anyone have any ideas? | 21:25 |
| orgthingy | wols_: god knows | 21:25 |
| orgthingy | wols_: but in general, how do i solve this problem? | 21:25 |
| johnnypea | !atom | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Factoid atom not found | 21:25 |
| wols_ | orgthingy: different mount options. gid,uid and umask. | 21:25 |
| wols_ | orgthingy: if you have mounted the palm already you know what filesystem. otherwise you couldn't have mounted it | 21:26 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: so I can just sudo kill `ps -e | grep ftp | awk '{print $1}'` to kill all ftp processes? | 21:26 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| orgthingy | wols_: i mounted it like 1 week ago, but i "decided" to ask now and i think i lost my palm :P | 21:27 |
| _slow | delmar judging from this forum thread you've posted, there's several reasons why I would suggest this: Start over. Reason #1) you're installing Feisty and Hardy is out now Reason #2) You're not going yet so you won't lose valuable data and #3) it's way easier to reinstall than to fix a broken install | 21:27 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, for killing is just easier to: sudo killall ftp | 21:27 |
| joaopinto | :) | 21:27 |
| delmar | _slow, ah sorrt. I AM installing 8.04 | 21:27 |
| _slow | delmar oh | 21:27 |

| FloodBot1 | battlesaq: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:27 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: oh? that's much easier! | 21:28 |
| joaopinto | :) | 21:28 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: and that will kill vsftpd, gftp etc, or just ftp? | 21:28 |
| nickrud | battlesaq, please don't do that | 21:28 |
| delmar | _slow, but its the same problem.. or was.. I was only getting.. kernel alive, then kernel direct mapping tables blah blah.. then it would stop and do nothing. | 21:28 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, only "ftp" processes | 21:28 |
| nickrud | sofiankrt, you get yourself setup | 21:28 |
| delmar | after doing the nospach noapic thing it works more. | 21:28 |
| sofiankrt | nickrud: pardon? | 21:29 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: gah, I'll just write a script to do it | 21:29 |
| joaopinto | for the previous approach: ps -e | grep ftp | awk '{print $1}' | sudo xargs kill | 21:29 |
| _slow | delmar have you checked for a newer BIOS version for your board? The APIC problem is usually fixed when the BIOS people make new releases | 21:29 |
| nickrud | sofiankrt, supposed to be question, I see you're talking to someone about it (work sometimes takes precedence, I'm pretty good about ignoring it when I can :) | 21:29 |
| Noodels | wols_: So what do you think this problem is? Just ndiswrapper? | 21:29 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: what's xargs? | 21:29 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, man xargs :) | 21:29 |
| cyphase | ohhh, latest firefox is in hardy-proposed | 21:29 |
| hypoluxa | why did battlesaq get banned? | 21:30 |
| _slow | delmar this isn't #hardware but also keep in mind that newer BIOS doesn't necessarily mean it's teh right BIOS. always read the release notes. | 21:30 |
| wols_ | Noodels: the problem is your auth took too long | 21:30 |
| ingo | hallo! i installed ubuntustudio the last days - in this repo-package is a audio-package for system events - is there a audio-package for [main] ubuntu hardy!? | 21:30 |
| delmar | _slow, yep. latest bios but in fact... if I remove 'quiet' and add nosplash and dont bother with noapic it does still boot up and do more. takes a while tho but it never ever starts the UI or install or anything. all i get is the (initramfs) prompt in the BusyBox shell | 21:30 |
| Noodels | wols_: What could cause+fix that? | 21:30 |
| _slow | delmar additionally have you tried installing by turning off APIC in CMOS? | 21:30 |
| wols_ | another driver possibly | 21:31 |
| _slow | *by/after | 21:31 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: lol, shoulda known | 21:31 |
| * delcoyote hi | 21:31 | |
| sofiankrt | nickrud: no, but we're discussing the best way to kill a process, don't you agree? | 21:31 |
| === ballzee is now known as Sinister | ||
| nickrud | sofiankrt, yeah, I like xargs myself :) | 21:32 |
| delmar | _slow, didn't see an option to disable apic in bios. lets assume for a moment thats not the issue though because I was able to boot with or without that noapic boot option. | 21:32 |
| sofiankrt | nickrud: so I've come out with the conclusion that writing a script asking for user input and then substituting it is the best way | 21:32 |
| _slow | delmar restate the question i'm out of ideas | 21:32 |
| Noodels | wols_: I'm not sure where I could get different drivers, I thought it was more like one driver fits all. | 21:32 |
| delmar | _slow, here is my theory... by default.. all I get is the two lines.. kernel alive, and kernel direct mapping tables blah... then it seems to sit there | 21:32 |
| sofiankrt | nickrud: what do you think? | 21:32 |
| delmar | _slow, in the background it IS actually booting.. but never gets past the initramfs thing so no matter how long I leave it.. i will never see the UI initialise.... | 21:33 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, what are you trying to achieve in general (besides killing the ftp processes) ? | 21:33 |
| wols_ | Noodels: there are 3 different drivers available for your card: ndiswrapper, bcm43xx and the new ieee80211 softmac stack bcm43xx driver | 21:33 |
| delmar | _slow, removing 'quiet' and adding 'nosplash' I am now able to see it booting, and axs the initramfs prompt when its done... | 21:33 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: killing a process without typing in it's full name | 21:34 |
| delmar | _slow, so all I have achieved is to see whats really going on behind the scenes.. and need to fix whatever it is thats causing it to drop to initramfs all the time | 21:34 |
| Noodels | wols_: So if the ndiswrapper is a bad method to try, ( or at least, I've been told ), I should look for the ieee80211 driver? | 21:34 |
| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| _slow | delmar forgive me if this sounds pejorative but I saw this solution on a forum: Are you absolutely certain you have the AMD64 installer | 21:35 |
| wols_ | Noodels: yes | 21:35 |
| delmar | _slow, naturally that must be something to do with hardware... somehow, since we know the .iso install works fine on other systems... Im just not sure what it is. | 21:35 |
| delmar | _slow, yep its 8.04 64bit desktop. | 21:35 |
| Sexygurl | I have a program trying to use a binary called C++ to compile, but I can't find any tool named C++ in the repositories, help please? | 21:35 |
| Sexygurl | Where could I find this tool? | 21:35 |
| _slow | delmar ok because there was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=716189 with the same symptoms | 21:35 |
| wols_ | delmar: if you get the busybox shell there was an error before that. what is that error? | 21:35 |
| ompaul | Sexygurl, sudo apt-get install build-essential <<< do that and you will get C++ and lots more | 21:36 |
| wols_ | !build-essential | Sexygurl | 21:36 |
| ubottu | Sexygurl: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 21:36 |
| delmar | wols_, ok maybe I will try again and look in.. dmesg or somewhere? | 21:36 |
| Sexygurl | ompaul, oh... I thought I already had it... | 21:36 |
| delmar | wols_, didn't see anything major as I was watching the console. | 21:36 |
| wols_ | delmar: on your screen. there is no log daemon yet when the disk the logs are on is not mounted and can't be mounted | 21:36 |
| ompaul | Sexygurl, obviously no | 21:36 |
| ompaul | ;-0 | 21:36 |
| wols_ | ompaul: C++ does not exist. g++ does | 21:37 |
| ompaul | wols_, there is that | 21:37 |
| delmar | wols_, some stuff screams past tho. is there a way to pause it? | 21:37 |
| wols_ | Sexygurl: a binary C++ doesn't exist anywhere. C++ is the name of theprogramming language | 21:37 |
| ompaul | Sexygurl, ^^ see wols_ comment | 21:37 |
| _slow | delmar you might have to do this a couple of times. are you using a crt and it's not warming up enough for you to see the messages yet? | 21:37 |
| wols_ | delmar: oause | 21:37 |
| wols_ | delmar: pause | 21:37 |
| delmar | k | 21:37 |
| delmar | _slow, nah it's a DVI LCD. things are all good when it boots without quiet. I can see it all.. sometimes just a little too fast is all | 21:37 |
| wols_ | delmar: with a serial console it would be easier | 21:38 |
| delmar | _slow, ill go read that post a sec. | 21:38 |
| _slow | all hail Technoviking | 21:38 |
| Noodels | wols_: Any idea where to find any of these drivers / a guide to installing them? | 21:38 |
| connor | sup | 21:38 |
| delmar | wols_, theres an idea... and i think there IS a serial post on this box... uh but there is no serial port on the laptop :( | 21:38 |
| NeuroShayd | hey hey | 21:38 |
| wols_ | Noodels: the drivers are part of the ubuntu kernel (you still need the broadcom firmware of course) | 21:38 |
| Noodels | wols_: Great, so I just need to load them. | 21:39 |
| Sexygurl | wols_, but... I executed a make file and it says "c++ -Wall -g2 `pkg-config --cflags cairomm-1.0 libsvg-cairo gtkmm-2.4 libglademm-2.4` -c main.cpp -o main.o" | 21:39 |
| * Technoviking demands a dance beat | 21:39 | |
| PeterP24 | is this channel suited for posing a kernel compilation related question or there is a specialized channel? | 21:39 |
| wols_ | Sexygurl: /usr/bin/c++ exists. C++ is something totally different tho (linux is always case sensitive) | 21:39 |
| softsantear | hi, i can't get ytalk working at all. it doesn't seem to be configured properly after installation. all of the information i can find about it is really dated. does anyone use ytalk and the talk daemon? | 21:39 |
| delmar | _slow, last night I read that these intel cpu's are not true 64bit and stuff so I almost gave up but it seems that since my mobo and cpu are both EM64T it should work. | 21:39 |
| Jalathan | PeterP24: ##kernel | 21:39 |
| wols_ | PeterP24: depends on the question. if there is a better suited one we will redirect you | 21:40 |
| PeterP24 | k, thanks | 21:40 |
| Sexygurl | wols_, ok. | 21:40 |
| connor | whats the name of a good screen recording program? | 21:40 |
| neurobuntu | anybody aware of documentation about how to package your own distrobution of ubuntu? | 21:40 |

| Noodels | wols_: How would I go about loading that driver? | 21:40 |
| ompaul | connor, istanbul | 21:40 |
| andy56_uk | :'( Can anyone offer any help with my network problem please? See a synopsis at http://jandax.pastebin.com/f2f8c944e | 21:40 |
| connor | neurobuntu: i used to know how | 21:40 |
| ompaul | !patience | nickolaus | 21:40 |
| ubottu | nickolaus: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:40 |
| _slow | delmar Oh, well if it's not really 64 bit then you should use the 32 bit | 21:40 |
| connor | i think i might be able to find the guide | 21:40 |
| wols_ | delmar: they are true 64bit. who ever wrote that was without a clue. ignor them | 21:40 |
| joseph | hey people wheres my mozilla folder.....im doing a search but it takes forever...can anyone help me. i just need to know where its at | 21:40 |

| neurobuntu | connor: thanks ;-) | 21:40 |
| Boxxxer | hello | 21:40 |
| connor | wait | 21:40 |
| wols_ | Noodels: put the driver in /etc/modules and possible blacklist the others | 21:40 |
| connor | cant find it | 21:40 |
| connor | wait | 21:41 |
| PeterP24 | well I don't know; I compiled a new kernel (2.6.25.5) in gutsy and now it won't start | 21:41 |
| joseph | hey people wheres my mozilla folder.....im doing a search but it takes forever...can anyone help me. i just need to know where its at | 21:41 |
| connor | google pendrivelinux, the guide was on that site | 21:41 |
| Jalathan | joseph: ~/.mozilla/ | 21:41 |
| wols_ | PeterP24: there are errors | 21:41 |
| joseph | thanks | 21:41 |
| ivanhoe | hello evryone | 21:41 |
| Boxxxer | can one please explain to me the usefulness of the 3-state checkbox? | 21:41 |
| joseph | is it hidden? | 21:41 |
| nickolaus | ompaul I wasn't trying to rush anyone I just logged in and was trying to find someone with a few seconds to spare. | 21:41 |
| wols_ | joseph: in your ~ | 21:41 |
| Sexygurl | wols_, do you know where I can find a library called libsvg-cairo? I can't find it in the repository. :( | 21:41 |
| joseph | thanks | 21:41 |
| ivanhoe | i have problems with a pendrive usb | 21:41 |
| PeterP24 | I don't know were to search | 21:41 |
| joseph | does that mean home? | 21:41 |
| ivanhoe | don read in ubuntu | 21:41 |
| joseph | ~ | 21:41 |
| ompaul | !ask | nickolaus | 21:41 |
| ubottu | nickolaus: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 21:41 |
| Jalathan | joseph: yes, press Ctrl+h to unhide | 21:41 |
| wols_ | Sexygurl: packages.ubuntu.org check there | 21:41 |
| ivanhoe | says incorrect level | 21:41 |
| connor | ivanhoe: what happens? | 21:41 |
| joseph | thanks | 21:41 |
| Sinnerman | hi. how would i go about getting pidgin 2.4.2 working on gutsy? there only appear to be packages available for hardy, and because i already have a working gutsy install i'm a bit reluctant to upgrade to hardy for that one app. | 21:41 |
| ivanhoe | well | 21:41 |
| PeterP24 | It doesn't say anything it just hang with a black screen | 21:41 |
| connor | i know what it is | 21:41 |
| _slow | Boxxxer: a) yes i can explain b) no i can't explain c) i don't know if i can explain. there's your three state checkbox. | 21:41 |
| ivanhoe | i put a pendrive in ubuntru | 21:42 |
| Noodels | wols_: The driver name being ieee80211? | 21:42 |
| ivanhoe | then | 21:42 |
| wols_ | Noodels: no | 21:42 |
| delmar | wols_, um no actually. i did quite a lot of reading and for example.. my CPU.. http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q7 ... is actually a true 32bit core with extra 64bit extensions and registers. essentially it's a hack. | 21:42 |
| ivanhoe | i cant open | 21:42 |
| ompaul | Sexygurl, what are you trying to compile? | 21:42 |
| ivanhoe | because the label are changing | 21:42 |
| ivanhoe | i think | 21:42 |
| wols_ | delmar: bullshit | 21:42 |
| delmar | neurobuntu, http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q7 | 21:42 |
| Sexygurl | ompaul, a little Cairo demo program. | 21:42 |
| Noodels | wols_: Um, what then? | 21:42 |
| _slow | Boxxxer also, let's say you have a software installation tree. The three state checkbox can be used to indicate that some of the components in the subcategory are to be installed but not all of them. | 21:42 |
| nickolaus | I need to log into a server I have online so I can transfer files to and from my computer I have the login and pass as well as the url could someone please walk me through it real quick. | 21:43 |
| wols_ | Noodels: look in the same aread os the ieee driver for the bcm one | 21:43 |
| wols_ | !b43 | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Factoid b43 not found | 21:43 |
| Sexygurl | ompaul, it's called cairo-in-motion. | 21:43 |
| andy56_uk | Boxxxer: A typical example is where you have a tree structure containing a three-state check box at the root, with two-state children. The three-state can show a) all sub options selected; b) no sub options selected; c) some sub options selected. | 21:43 |
| wols_ | Noodels: look for b43 | 21:43 |
| zetheroo | how many thousands of drivers does the Linux kernel have built-in? | 21:43 |
| joaopinto | nickolaus, what file transfer service is installed on the server ? ftp ? | 21:43 |
| _slow | andy56_uk yeah that's what i just said pretty much | 21:43 |
| softsantear | is anyone familiar with ytalk and the talk daemon? | 21:44 |
| _slow | andy56_uk you put it more eloquently though | 21:44 |
| andy56_uk | _slow: posts crossed - no offence intended | 21:44 |
| zetheroo | anyone know? | 21:44 |
| joaopinto | zetheroo, no | 21:44 |

| Noodels | wols_: Look where? All I see is fuse, lp, sbp2 and bcm43xx. | 21:44 |
| nickolaus | joaopinto I'm not sure I do recall connecting to it through "Places > Connect to server" | 21:44 |
| wols_ | Noodels: locate b43 | 21:44 |
| Noodels | Oh god I should be better at adding drivers.. | 21:44 |
| Boxxxer | andy56_uk, thank you | 21:44 |
| Sexygurl | wols_, it's not there. | 21:44 |
| connor | whats the default record button for istanbul? | 21:45 |
| ompaul | Sexygurl, I can't find a libsvg-cairo so I suggest you check out what is around using apt-cache search libsvg and cairo and see if it works for you | 21:45 |
| joaopinto | nickolaus, well, that could be FTP, SFTP or samba | 21:45 |
| wols_ | Sexygurl: then ubuntu doesn't have it. check CAIRO sites | 21:45 |
| Sexygurl | wols_, alright. | 21:45 |
| nickolaus | joaopinto I'm sure it FTP | 21:45 |
| joaopinto | Sexygurl, maybe you are looking for librsvg2-dev | 21:45 |
| neurobuntu | connor: is the guide for any distro of linux or just ubuntu? | 21:45 |
| joaopinto | nickolaus, so you just need to ftp to the server, and provide the user and pass... | 21:45 |
| Sexygurl | joaopinto, I already have that, I'm sure. | 21:45 |
| delmar | wols_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 | 21:45 |
| neurobuntu | I'm developing a suite of apps that I would like to bundle into a unique distrobution of linux | 21:46 |
| AL-G77 | hello all :-) | 21:46 |
| connor | neurobuntu: if i remember correctly it was for ubuntu | 21:46 |
| connor | hi | 21:46 |
| Kremlin[NA] | Is it possible to change your processor in your computer out without reinstalling ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| connor | probably yes | 21:46 |
| neurobuntu | Kremlin: yes | 21:46 |
| connor | a processor is hardware | 21:46 |
| wols_ | delmar: I know what x86-64 is thank you very much | 21:46 |
| joaopinto | Kremlin[NA], yes | 21:46 |
| Noodels | wols_: That brings up a lot.. And I'm not sure what I'm looking for. | 21:46 |
| Kremlin[NA] | NICE | 21:46 |
| wols_ | Noodels: locate b43|grep modules | 21:46 |
| AL-G77 | quick question from a noob :-) if i copy a file from ubuntu to a ntfs partition just using copy and paste will that work | 21:46 |
| cpk1 | nickolaus: I'm sure you could use scp | 21:46 |
| Kremlin[NA] | Well, I remember windows wasnt happy sometimes if you did this, but this is great | 21:46 |
| _slow | I'll take Kremlin[NA]'s question further: what about changing out your x86 whith an AMD64? | 21:47 |
| joaopinto | AL-G77, if you have the required permissions, yes | 21:47 |
| wols_ | AL-G77: yes if the ntfs partition is writable | 21:47 |
| connor | question about firefox 2 | 21:47 |
| connor | how can i get a button on the side of my mouse to go back and forward for pages? | 21:47 |
| AL-G77 | cool :-) i was worried xp still wouldn';t read it :-) | 21:47 |
| connor | on firefox 2? | 21:47 |
| neurobuntu | Kremlin[NA]: how ever if you are doing a major upgrade, from one MOBO to another it would probably be best to do a clean install. Also if you upgrade from a 32bit cpu to a 64bit cpu ubuntu will still only be operating as a 32bit os | 21:47 |
| AL-G77 | thanks guys | 21:47 |
| wols_ | _slow: and AMD64 IS a x86 | 21:47 |
| joaopinto | _slow, yes, also | 21:47 |
| delmar | wols_, dont get your knickers in a twist.. I AM interested in what you have to say if you have a different view... also I read stuff on here.. http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t5534.html | 21:47 |
| Noodels | wols_: Three groups, one for each 16-generic to 18-generic. | 21:48 |
| connor | #firefox | 21:48 |
| cpk1 | neurobuntu: why would you need to do a clean install if changing mobo's? nothing will have changed on the kernel after changing them | 21:48 |
| _slow | you can twist my knickers all you want | 21:48 |
| delmar | wols_, the picture I got when reading around the place is that EM64T is essentially a 64bit register extension to accommodate more ram. | 21:48 |
| wols_ | neurobuntu: mobo change doesn't need a reinstall under linux. this is not windows | 21:48 |
| yme | Hi, I want to discover which program is running on port 25. I've got nmap. Do you know how can I do it? | 21:48 |
| _slow | SMTP | 21:49 |
| wols_ | delmar: your picture is a) wrong and b) offtopic in here | 21:49 |
| Sexygurl | ompaul, I didn't find it. | 21:49 |
| delmar | wols_, and also provides other 64bit extensions too. but thats what it is.. 'extension'. | 21:49 |
| Starnestommy | yme: it's probably an smtp server | 21:49 |
| Kremlin[NA] | neurobuntu: Im not actually sure which CPU it is I have in the box now. system monitor says : Intel Celeron D CPU 3.2ghz. I have a Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13ghz lying around.. Would that make the pc a whole lot faster? | 21:49 |

| alexbOrsova | _slow: are you talking to me? are you sure there is no way to fix the problem without switching network cards? I don't have this problem in windows xp, btw. | 21:52 |
| yme | joaopinto, it says that sendmail was not installed | 21:52 |
| neurobuntu | Kremlin[NA] cpus unlike video cards or HDD have pretty specific sockets they fit into, this is to help make sure that CPUs are compatible with MOBOs | 21:52 |

| ompaul | Sexygurl, it looks like a lib and being part of something else read the read me on it | 21:52 |
| _slow | joaopinto he could also have postfix installed you know | 21:52 |
| dmsuperman_ | neurobuntu, celeron D's almost always use socket 775, so do core 2 duos | 21:52 |
| alexbOrsova | _slow: and i don't have a spare network card... | 21:52 |
| unavailable | asulutzy just hopefully finished helping ironeye with his setup problem, turns out his a8v may have a bios setting blocking the detection of his sata in windows setup... | 21:52 |
| joaopinto | _slow, I am not sure postfix uses a sendmail header | 21:52 |
| delmar | _slow, so that post referred to someone trying to install 32bit version when they wanted 64bit, which should have worked anyway but anyway... I have the 64bit edition most certainly. | 21:52 |
| dmsuperman_ | neurobuntu, it's the FSB that may make a difference, but it's a low end core 2 duo so there's a good chance it'll be fine | 21:52 |
| neurobuntu | dmsuperman_: do they have the same stepping? | 21:53 |
| prakriti | does the ubuntu install cd have lvm support? or do I need to use the alternate install cd? | 21:53 |
| unavailable | other than that gave him his drivers and all that | 21:53 |
| ompaul | Sexygurl, consider this place as a signpost towards a solution we may not know exactly what it is you need but we most likely know which road you need to walk | 21:53 |
| prakriti | I dont' need to install, just to copy the data to an lvm drive and setup the bootloader | 21:53 |
| Sexygurl | ompaul, haha, alright. :D | 21:53 |
| neurobuntu | dmsuperman_: but generally swapping cpus around is must less likely to work then other hardware | 21:53 |
| dmsuperman_ | neurobuntu, not sure what you mean by that | 21:53 |
| _slow | delmar i'm out ask wols_ | 21:53 |

| yme | _wols, I did it, nothing happened | 21:53 |
| dmsuperman_ | neurobuntu, agreed there, I'm just saying that a low end core 2 duo and a celeron D are very likely to work in the same mobo's | 21:53 |

| _slow | Peterpearse yes it's half the questions in here | 21:55 |
| neurobuntu | dmsuperman_: the stepping of the mobo and the cpus. Even if a cpu fits a socket it doesn't mean that its compatible. I purchased a couple X2 to replace some athlon in few machines, in 2 of them it worked, but in the other machines it did't as their mobo's didn't suppor the x2 stepping | 21:55 |

| The_ManU_212 | hi | 21:56 |
| d2sp | Hello | 21:56 |
| dmsuperman_ | neurobuntu, is that an AMD thing? As far as I know, as long as the sockets fit it'll work with intel. Worst case scenario, the FSB is too high in one or the other, but even then I'm pretty sure one will lower to match the other | 21:56 |
| The_ManU_212 | isnt terhe an option in ubuntu to encode iso files to utf8? | 21:56 |

| d2sp | I have a problem with Hardy/8.04, the automount USB dont work? | 21:57 |
| dmsuperman_ | neurobuntu, I know that my pentium 4 was too high of an FSB for my mobo, so the proc just operated at the lower FSB and worked fine | 21:57 |

| wols_ | ASULutzy: I was under the impression you could use it for installing ubuntu onto its own partition as usual. i know all the downsides of installing it into a big ntfs file | 22:22 |
| vraa | mystery_: you can just put in the sd card, mount it and use it as a swap, just make sure you set the swap file priority properly | 22:23 |
| wols_ | mystery_: no | 22:23 |
| === local is now known as local_cal | ||
| mad_max02 | DarkAudit, are screenlets any good ?? | 22:23 |
| mad_max02 | DarkAudit, do you have any link ?? | 22:23 |
| anirudh0 | mystery_, i think the kernel would have to do that, not a program..which means, if its possible at all, you'll need to recompile the kernle | 22:23 |
| anirudh0 | *kernel | 22:24 |
| wols_ | mystery_: it would be something the kernel has to do and it's unlikely that will ever happen. except using the sdcard as swap which isn't so smart either (slow, limited amount of writes) | 22:24 |
| vraa | Failed opening './includes/templates/navstart.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') <-- that's the issue i'm getting on a plain amd64 ubuntu install with a lamp stack installed. i think there is an issue re: pear, php, and ubuntu | 22:24 |
| tzd | i've only seen bits of the discussion regarding wubi and to me it sounds like some kind of simple virtual machine? Personally I use VMware for all those testings, other OS:es etc and it works like a charm ;) | 22:24 |

| wols_ | mystery_: again, this is not windows | 22:25 |
| vraa | Kremlin[NA]: it's very easy, go to synaptic -> edit -> mark by task, and select LAMP | 22:25 |
| vraa | wols_: navstart.php is something i've written | 22:25 |
| anirudh0 | vraa, you could create a symlink to /usr/share/php/pear | 22:25 |
| wols_ | neverwas: debootstrap install a ubuntu from any other linux. that's all | 22:25 |
| vraa | anirudh0: can you explain further? i am interested :0 | 22:25 |
| vraa | :) | 22:25 |
| mystery_ | great | 22:25 |
| Kremlin[NA] | vraa: I dont want the mail part.. just a regular apache2, php 5 and mysql server | 22:25 |
| DarkAudit | mad_max02: Only thing I did was set them to both sticky and widget so they are on all desptops. Otherwise I just installed the packages. | 22:26 |
| ASULutzy | wols_: You can take a wubi install and move it to a dedicated ext3 partition, yes, but that sort of defeats the purpose of using wubi in the first place? I guess maybe it saves a cd if you're tricky | 22:26 |
| mystery_ | but just want to optimize the systme | 22:26 |
| wols_ | Kremlin[NA]: mail comes by default with linux. always | 22:26 |
| CarlFK | how do I fix this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; The following packages have been kept back: ffmpeg libavdevice52 | 22:26 |
| vraa | Kremlin[NA]: right, it won't install the mail part i believe. if you know what packages you want, you can do them yourself "apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql5" | 22:26 |

| murlidhar | wols_, what might be the problem? | 22:44 |
| geko | sudo dpkg -i linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.53_i386.deb"; the error is "dpkg: error while proccessing linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.53_i386.deb (--install)". 2 weeks ago I came here for help for upgrading to 8.10, we edited a sourcefile for getting the updates, Im wandering if might be related or should I try somthing else | 22:44 |
| anirudh0 | Bodsda, in menu.lst, check the kernel boot thing..does it point to the right partition? | 22:44 |

| Starnestommy | Uplink: cp -r /old/directory /new/directory | 23:02 |
| nickcammarata | connor: so there would be no way to get anything but the terminal? | 23:03 |
| Uplink | thank you | 23:03 |
| anirudh0 | noteventime, yes you can | 23:03 |
| gregbrady | I seem to be having a problem with my laptop just freezing up solid from time to time. I have no idea why and the only solution is to hard reboot. The log seems to be logging activity about pulseaudio when the crash occurs. Any ideas? | 23:03 |

| yme | noteventime, thanks | 23:03 |
| anirudh0 | poopuser, ntfsfix i think | 23:03 |
| noteventime | yme: ok. no problem | 23:03 |
| iDN | noteventime: It's not even at /etc/fstab. :O | 23:03 |
| earthling | RULR : go to edit---> preferences in the file browser | 23:03 |
| connor | you can use either the synaptic package manager, or you can go to the applications tab of your start menu and go to add/remove prgrams | 23:03 |
| cpk1 | nickcammarata: try "startx" after you have logged in | 23:03 |
| ndf | Uplink: i think you can just use cp -r | 23:03 |
| iDN | noteventime: There's no /dev/sdb there. :O | 23:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bodsda http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1362 | 23:04 |
| noteventime | iDN: If you don't mind mounting manually, you can probably just "sudo mount /dev/sdb /somewhere" | 23:04 |
| noteventime | As long as it's not some weird FS | 23:04 |
| matt444 | what is the daemon that handles sound? | 23:04 |
| poopuser | <anirudh0> thx but i think it sounded a bit different.thou it may woark.any other suggestions? | 23:04 |
| nickcammarata | my tech guy at school said something like "apt-get gnome" | 23:04 |
| anirudh0 | nickcammarata, depending on your config..statkde or startxfce might also do the trick | 23:04 |
| noteventime | matt444: Pulseaudio? | 23:04 |
| unavailable | ASULutzy all that come to find out he had his motherboard support cd | 23:04 |
| cpk1 | whats the name if the gnome login manager? | 23:05 |
| nickcammarata | its an ubuntu server right now, and I don't know anything about my config, if you tell me what to do i can post the responses here | 23:05 |
| anirudh0 | poopuser, dirty ntfs volumes can be mounted with the -force option | 23:05 |
| noteventime | nickcammarata: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:05 |
| iDN | noteventime: Is there any way to get it back to what it was at the beginning, instead of getting "Cannot mount volume: Unable to mount volume" every time? | 23:05 |
| Cyndrework | anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to setup ubuntu as an inline packet sniffer? | 23:05 |
| RULR | earthling: at least, thx | 23:05 |
| anirudh0 | nickcammarata, sudo apt-get install kdebase | 23:05 |
| poopuser | yes but it says it can be dangerous.is it? | 23:05 |
| noteventime | iDN: Dunno, not sure what it is that you did to it :) | 23:05 |
| gregbrady | anirudh0: I have tried the force option and it does not allow a mount on my computer. | 23:06 |
| anirudh0 | poopuser, never for me..but not _completely_ certain | 23:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bodsda http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747594 Hope those help get you sorted out | 23:06 |
| iDN | noteventime: Would a screenshot of something help? | 23:06 |
| anirudh0 | gregbrady, you need to run chkdsk from win | 23:06 |
| cpk1 | nickcammarata: after you install gnome you do "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" or "sudo invoke-rc.d kdm start" depending on if you got kde or gnome | 23:06 |
| noteventime | iDN: Possibly | 23:06 |

| MattJ | nickcammarata: If you run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" then it will turn your server install into a regular Ubuntu with graphical interface | 23:06 |

| Bodsda | Jack_Sparrow: ty muchly for the links,,.,.a quick question,.,. should there be a stage1.5? | 23:07 |
| iDN | I've been working on this problem for 2.5 hours (!) now, and it's 1AM here. :( | 23:07 |
| addimonk | I just tried upgrading from feisty to gutsy on my g3 imac but when I rebooted the computer it brings me to this black screen that says BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shel (ash) | 23:07 |
| noteventime | iDN: I want to know what you did to make it not work :) | 23:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bodsda I do believe so.. but what do I know | 23:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbl... lurking while I do some real work | 23:08 |
| anirudh0 | iDN, post sudo fdisk -l | 23:08 |
| Hilikus | when my system crashes and i reboot my jfs partition never mounts, i always have to manually run jfs_fsck which always works, but if its always that simple why doesnt it try it automatically, or how do i make it try to repair itself automatically instead of failing | 23:08 |
| Bodsda | Jack_Sparrow: you know everything,.,. i dont seem to have a stage1.5 in /media/sdc1/boot/grub but the error is "Strting stage1.5 -- error 15" which is cannot locate file,.,.so i think i am missing a stage1.5 file | 23:08 |
| iDN | anirudh0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19156/ | 23:09 |
| addimonk | can someone help me??? | 23:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bodsda check your other drive partitions for the 1.5 | 23:09 |
| earthling | Hilikus : you will have to edit your /etc/fstab file.. google that | 23:09 |

| geko | sudo dpkg -i linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.53_i386.deb" but nogo, reason you guys told me was that 2.6.22-14 is not part of hardy, my version is 2.6.24-18-generic, how should i modify then this command? If just by replacing the 'uname -r' i will still be missing the ending " .53_i386.deb" | 23:10 |
| addimonk | I just tried upgrading from feisty to gutsy on my g3 imac but when I rebooted the computer it brings me to this black screen that says BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) | 23:10 |

| earthling | addimonk : question please | 23:10 |
| Bodsda | Jack_Sparrow: nope,.,.its not on any partition/hard drive | 23:10 |

| iDN | noteventime: Right click on the "2.0GB [something]", and then I went to Drive (I think, I could have gone to Volume), and at "Mount point" I entered "/media/Sansa". OK all, and on next reboot, I had the error: "Cannot mount volume: Unable to mount volume" when plugging my Sansa in. | 23:11 |

| Hilikus | earthling thats not my question, i know how to mount at boot. i said WHEN MY SYSTEM crashes. if i doesnt crash the partition mounts correctly. are you saying theres a parameter in fstab to make the partition repair itself in case needed? | 23:11 |
| noteventime | iDN: And that directory exists? | 23:11 |
| anirudh0 | iDN, pugin you sansa..then run ls /dev/sd* | 23:11 |
| wasup | How do I set up a dual monitor on ubuntu? | 23:11 |
| earthling | addimonk : sorry no idea abt imac :( | 23:12 |
| iDN | anirudh0: A Sansa Clip (works with MSC), 2GB, /dev/sdb | 23:12 |
| wasup | And is it possible to set up a "dual monitor" but only with the mouse | 23:12 |
| wasup | and keyboard | 23:12 |
| anirudh0 | noteventime, that is not nevcessary | 23:12 |
| iDN | noteventime: I think it is, I made a mkdir for that. :) | 23:12 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: I see | 23:12 |
| iDN | noteventime: Yes, it exists. :) | 23:12 |
| moDumass | !nas | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Factoid nas not found | 23:12 |
| wasup | Is it possible to set up a sort of dual monitor in which the mouse (and keyboard) can move to different screens but keep separate stuff going on within the screens | 23:12 |
| anirudh0 | iDN, sudo mount -vt auto /dev/sdb1 <mountpoint> | 23:12 |
| anirudh0 | it cant be sdb | 23:12 |
| anirudh0 | iDN, has to be sdb1 | 23:12 |
| anirudh0 | or something similar | 23:12 |
| wasup | or can there only be one "computer" running | 23:12 |
| FloodBot1 | anirudh0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:12 |
| earthling | Hilikus : yeah check the options. | 23:13 |
| Hilikus | earthling will do, thanks | 23:13 |
| iDN | anirudh0: "ls" - /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb | 23:13 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: It can be /dev/sdb | 23:13 |
| arrrghhh | nvidia-settings isn't detecting my monitor correctly - i can't set any resolution options for it. however, it does detect my laptop's screen perfectly and gives me loads of resolution options... | 23:13 |
| earthling | Hilikus : have you checked the crash log? | 23:13 |
| anirudh0 | noteventime, /dev/sdb refers to the drive..mount mounts a partition | 23:13 |
| Bodsda | Jack_Sparrow: anyway of creating a stage1.5 or reinstalling grub without an alternate cd or reinstalling? | 23:13 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: My player is /dev/sdb too | 23:13 |
| Hilikus | earthling no, it is just a power outage that makes the computer reboot | 23:14 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: No partitions | 23:14 |
| anirudh0 | Bodsda, update-grub fails? | 23:14 |
| arrrghhh | Bodsda, there's supergrub. | 23:14 |
| Hilikus | theres nothing wrong with the hdd | 23:14 |
| anirudh0 | noteventime, hmm..strange | 23:14 |
| earthling | Hilikus : what do you mean by power outage? | 23:14 |
| Bodsda | anirudh0: supergrub doesnt work for me | 23:14 |
| Hilikus | earthling power went out in the morning | 23:14 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: Maybe because it's a flash drive? | 23:14 |
| Hilikus | and yesterday | 23:14 |
| wasup | How do I set up a dual monitor on linux | 23:14 |
| Bodsda | anirudh0: how would i use update-grub when im on livecd? | 23:14 |
| iDN | anirudh0: sudo mount -vt ::: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sdb1. I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems; Trying fuseblk; mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 23:14 |
| arrrghhh | wasabi, depends on your video card manufacturer | 23:14 |
| Hilikus | its been raining hard | 23:14 |
| MattJ | wasup: You have 2 computers? or just 2 screens? | 23:14 |
| anirudh0 | noteventime, all my flash drives have partition..how would i mount them otherwise | 23:15 |
| iDN | anirudh0: It's sdb, actually. No 1 in the name. | 23:15 |
| wasup | MattJ, both | 23:15 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: Dunno, was just an idea | 23:15 |
| earthling | Hilikus : and that is what you are calling as system crash ? | 23:15 |
| wasup | MattJ, a laptop and a monitor+desktop computer | 23:15 |
| Hilikus | earthling yes | 23:15 |
| noteventime | anirudh0: Has been working fine for me though ;) | 23:15 |
| MattJ | wasup: Sounds like you want synergy | 23:15 |
| wasup | MattJ, Eh? | 23:15 |
| anirudh0 | iDN, this is unlikely to work..but try replaeing /dev/sdb1 by /dev/sdb in the cmd | 23:15 |
| noteventime | iDN: Maybe it's just not called sdb any more? | 23:15 |
| nootrope | how do i kill an app that refuses to fully load. it's stuck on the banner (jedit) | 23:15 |
| addimonk | can ne1 help me with ppc problems??? | 23:15 |
| MattJ | wasup: It allows you to use just one keyboard+mouse with both computers | 23:15 |
| iDN | anirudh0: Already did. :) Worked like a charm. | 23:16 |
| eric | how do i mount my external hdd? | 23:16 |
| Hilikus | earthling but youre probably right, its not accurate | 23:16 |
| arrrghhh | nootrope, does ctrl-alt-esc bring up an X? | 23:16 |
| wasup | MattJ, oo, I'll search it thanks | 23:16 |
| anirudh0 | iDN, hmm..so a partiton is;nt needed to mount after all | 23:16 |
| Cyndrework | anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to setup ubuntu as an inline packet sniffer? | 23:16 |
| noteventime | eric: You probably just have to plug it in | 23:16 |
| arrrghhh | or is that just a kde thing... | 23:16 |
| Dante124 | hi, I have a folder on my desktop that I moved from cdrom onto desktop...now I cant delete it or throw it in the trash. Clicking on properties and changing it in there does not help | 23:16 |

| iDN | noteventime: All signs indicate it is. | 23:16 |

| _eMaX_ | which? | 23:17 |
| anirudh0 | oneseventeen, which mysqldump | 23:17 |
| iDN | anirudh0: If I'd restart now, will the changes be saved for after the restart, and I'll be able to plug-and-play? | 23:17 |
| arrrghhh | doesn't that bring up a process monitor? | 23:17 |
| prymal | I believe it was back up this morning | 23:17 |
| anirudh0 | oneseventeen, thats a terminal cmd | 23:17 |
| nootrope | arrghh, seems to be loading just slooooooowwwwwllyyy | 23:17 |

| anirudh0 | iDN, edit the mountpoiint now..emptty it | 23:17 |
| anirudh0 | the mountpoint i mean | 23:17 |

| sahak | when will Fedora's website come back? | 23:18 |
| tmapj | could anyone tell me if there is a manual for ubuntu studio audio? | 23:18 |
| oneseventeen | anirudh0: thanks, I didn't realize it would be a command I could just use, since the OSX CLI required me to go to the actual folder | 23:18 |
| anirudh0 | idimmu, right click on drive in computer://..select volume>mount options | 23:18 |
| Dante124 | how do i change ownership of folder copied from cd so I can throw it away now? It won't let me? | 23:18 |

| mike4263 | hey, I synaptic auto-updated my firefox | 23:22 |
| Dante124 | okay...so you mean do a su command line thing to get rid of it? | 23:22 |

| mike4263 | and now its all borked, any ideas? | 23:22 |
| NewfieLinux | Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)(aka.piece of crap) | 23:22 |

| noteventime | Keddy: You can get both 3.x and 4.x from apt | 23:22 |
| gordonjcp | Dante124: right-click, Properties ;-) | 23:22 |
| Hilikus | earthling i think i got it, thanks | 23:22 |
| Keddy | i need to install a software which has 3 version..it says xxxx-gcc33, xxxx-gcc34 and xxxx-gcc41 | 23:22 |
| earthling | Hilikus : how? | 23:22 |
| moDumass | NewfieLinux, gotta remember that linux isnt for idiots, it doesnt cater to knot having to do anything, id dulaboot, in the beginning youl spend more time in windows, but as you grow frustrated at being treated like a child youl spend more time in linux | 23:22 |
| Dante124 | NewfieLinux u said it yourself. Crap | 23:23 |
| nickrud | Keddy, 4.2.3 | 23:23 |
| earthling | Keddy : type "gcc -v" it tells the version number | 23:23 |
| Hilikus | i was missing the 5 and 6th param in fstab, the 6th is about that | 23:23 |
| moDumass | and then in the end you wont go back to windows for anything other than games | 23:23 |
| moDumass | with a k | 23:23 |

| mike4263 | anybody know about the firefox issue? | 23:23 |
| eric | when i try to go to web pages, i get this tiny little box that is a blank firefox page that prevents me from broswing | 23:24 |
| eric | noteventime, one moment | 23:24 |
| NewfieLinux | and the "good" game neverwinter nights I cannot get working because the diamond edition guide wont work. | 23:24 |
| Cyndrework | anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to setup ubuntu as an inline packet sniffer? | 23:24 |
| Dante124 | NewfieLinux...what games for instance? And if using wine do you have it configured properly? | 23:24 |
| noteventime | NewfieLinux: My intel card works ok, shader support is kinda bad though | 23:24 |
| Dante124 | NewfieLinux have you googled your problem to see if someone else with your card has gotten it to work? | 23:25 |
| RULR | i need step by step help for .bz2 file installation | 23:25 |
| NewfieLinux | Im not using wine.And I could run guildwars,flyff, and various others | 23:25 |
| NewfieLinux | on windows. | 23:25 |
| moDumass | NewfieLinux, i wouldnt bother with games inside linux, dualboot, play them in windows and then when your done switch back | 23:25 |
| noteventime | moDumass: I play lots of games in Linux | 23:25 |
| genii | RULR: If the extension is .tar.bz2 use: tar -xvjf name.tar.bz2 | 23:25 |
| tmapj | could anyone tell me if there is a manual for ubuntu studio audio? | 23:26 |
| RULR | henii: tar.bz2 | 23:26 |
| noteventime | moDumass: Well, lots is an overstatement, but wine works fine for me | 23:26 |
| NewfieLinux | or just switch to windows.I like linux but its given me nothing but trouble | 23:26 |
| addimonk | will somebody please help me??? | 23:26 |
| RULR | genii: tar.bz2 | 23:26 |
| NewfieLinux | if i could just get neverwinter nights working I would be happy..... | 23:26 |
| ndf | moDumass: if the game is old enough to use software 3d, then you can allways run it feasibly in a vbox | 23:26 |
| unavailable | or you could just run sun virtualbox | 23:26 |
| noteventime | NewfieLinux: How is it not working | 23:26 |
| julle_ | Is there any DJ software for ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| mike4263 | has anyone else been affected by the FIreFox 3.0 update earlier today? | 23:26 |

| rsk | mike4263: how? | 23:27 |
| Leonidas_ | hi everyone | 23:27 |
| moDumass | noteventime, thats cool, i do to, but if most games dont run as smoothly in windows and if hes having issues with anything, making him use wine its just frustrating for the first few months | 23:27 |
| mike4263 | how? | 23:27 |
| earthling | RULR : 1. "tar -xvjf file.bz2" 2. "cd ./file" 3."make" 4."make install" | 23:27 |
| addimonk | will someone pleez help me | 23:27 |
| moDumass | other way round | 23:27 |
| genii | RULR: From there probably other steps depending on what the hell it is of course | 23:27 |
| Pusselgenerator | mike4263: Yeah, what do you mean by "affected"? | 23:27 |
| mike4263 | it automatically updated the package, now it complains about search engine plugins on boot | 23:27 |
| NewfieLinux | Well I followed the guide for it but when I launch it a small black screen pops up and closes | 23:27 |

| nickrud | Scaevolus, probably not, they're several months out of sync already. | 23:29 |
| ndf | ChunkyKs: i'm not asking if i need it | 23:29 |
| ndf | i'm asking what it is | 23:29 |
| noteventime | addimonk: I only know busybox starts when the standard system won't :/ | 23:29 |
| Xcell | I put this in terminal...(sudo /usr/sbin/firestarter) how do i stop it from trying to start on boot? | 23:29 |
| tmapj | could anyone tell me if there is a manual for ubuntu studio audio? | 23:29 |
| ndf | arrrghhh: setup your monitor driver | 23:29 |
| Scaevolus | I like getting non-security updates more than every six months :( | 23:29 |
| addimonk | noteventime:is there any way to fix this | 23:29 |
| nickrud | Scaevolus, it's usually on a package by package basis, but if you do use debian packages, don't expect useful support here (if it matters :) | 23:29 |
| albe | ma ciaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 23:29 |
| ChunkyKs | it's a way of doing effectively the same thing as /etc/passwd, but across the network | 23:29 |
| ChunkyKs | You could also use google | 23:29 |
| arrrghhh | ndf, uh... ok? that's a little vague... | 23:29 |
| Scaevolus | nickrud: of course :) well, if they're half-compatible, that's good enough | 23:30 |
| arrrghhh | ndf, it's detecting my laptop screen beautifully, but has nearly no options for my external monitor. | 23:30 |
| nickrud | Scaevolus, I tired of the 2 - 5 hours every week massaging the bleeding cuts from unstable, that's why I use the stable unstable ;) | 23:30 |
| * ChunkyKs searches google. Yep, searching for NIS, the top link describes what it is | 23:30 | |
| noteventime | addimonk: Well, there is probably some way to fix it. But getting busybox is only a symptom, it doesn't say too much about the problem | 23:30 |

| chuy_max | earthling, you just plug it, you can sync it with gtkpod | 23:51 |
| glen_ | wow, kubuntu with kde 4.1 beta 1 really isn't bad | 23:51 |
| earthling | chuy_max, genii : do they support 6th gen? | 23:51 |
| stemount^ | earthling: I believe so | 23:51 |
| stemount^ | earthling: I don't see why not | 23:52 |
| earthling | stemount^ k | 23:52 |
| AlexCONRAD | hi, what's the package that provides "Applications > System > Hardware Drivers" ? | 23:52 |
| genii | earthling: rockbox is actually a linux distribution which goes on your ipod. You can still dual-boot it to the original apple firmware if you like as well | 23:52 |
| stemount^ | AlexCONRAD: do you mean restricted? | 23:52 |
| earthling | genii : k thanks | 23:52 |
| AlexCONRAD | i don't know, the propietarty drivers thing | 23:52 |
| Ice_Max | what file system should i use for ubuntu if i want Windows Xp to be able to see it and read and wrtie data to it | 23:52 |
| AlexCONRAD | where I can setup my nvidia according to the ubuntu docs | 23:52 |
| Xcell | AlexCONRAD-- compiz? | 23:53 |
| ASULutzy | Ice_Max: You want to install Ubuntu to an ext3 drive without a doubt. If you're talking about having another partition that you want both Windows and Linux to be able to write to, I'd use NTFS | 23:53 |
| genii | Ice_Max: ext2 and then use the ext file driver from fs-driver.org in windows | 23:53 |
| genii | Ice_Max: As you can see there are differing opinions on the subject | 23:54 |
| hatter | my firefox has stopped working, when i enter a url in the address bar and press enter nothing happens, if i press the go button nothing happens, this just started today | 23:54 |
| stemount^ | AlexCONRAD: It's under System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager | 23:54 |
| glen_ | windows support for reading linux filesystems is limited | 23:54 |
| stemount^ | AlexCONRAD: don't you hae that? | 23:54 |
| glen_ | ext3 is ext2 with journalling | 23:54 |
| ASULutzy | Ice_Max: Alternatively, you could do what genii said, but for purposes of being able to share the partition/folders, I prefer NTFS, that way the people I share with aren't forced to download stuff to get your files. Objectively ext3 is a better file system I agree with genii, it's just Windows doesn't have native ext3 support, which is a pain in the butt for me | 23:54 |
| Ice_Max | asulutzy: i want windows to be able to see the partition ubuntu is on and read and write data to it (mostly music files) | 23:55 |
| AlexCONRAD | stemount^: well, I don't have the same name, but I guess that's it | 23:55 |
| stemount^ | you should do | 23:55 |
| AlexCONRAD | stemount^: someone pointed me to gnome-app-install ? | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | anyone know how to apply the Openarena patch taking it from the repo's 7.6 version to 7.7? | 23:55 |
| genii | ASULutzy: At least you're not recommending vfat which is wrong on so many levels ;) | 23:55 |
| ASULutzy | Ice_Max: Then you'll need to do what genii said, you'll want to install Ubuntu to ext3 and install the ext driver in windows | 23:55 |
| stemount^ | AlexCONRAD: what nVidia card do you have? | 23:55 |
| Ice_Max | ok | 23:55 |
| AlexCONRAD | an old PCI geforce 2 MX 400 | 23:55 |
| hatter | Ice_Max, or use samba | 23:56 |
| Ice_Max | whats the difference between ext3 and 2? | 23:56 |
| zvacet | Ice_Max : http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 23:56 |
| ASULutzy | Ice_Max: Someone already answered that. Basically ext3 is ext2 + journaling | 23:56 |
| hatter | Ice_Max, forget ext2. use ext3. | 23:56 |
| error404notfound | ChunkyKs: how do I specify a certain user with those command of ssh and scp? I tried -l 'username' without quotes and it didn't work | 23:56 |
| Daniel722 | hola | 23:57 |
| ChunkyKs | use user@host | 23:57 |
| zvacet | Ice_Max : ext3 is default filesystem format in ubuntu | 23:57 |
| Daniel722 | alguien habla español? | 23:57 |
| hatter | error404notfound, ssh -l user 192.168.0.10 | 23:57 |
| ChunkyKs | -l user should work, you are using little-ell and not big-eye, right? | 23:57 |
| zvacet | !es | Daniel722 | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Daniel722: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 23:57 |
| Daniel722 | ok, no problem | 23:57 |
| error404notfound | ChunkyKs: hatter: Thanks.... | 23:58 |

| sven_oostenbrink | Anybody has experience with SELinunx in kubuntu? | 23:58 |
| hatter | !ask | Daniel722 | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Daniel722: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:58 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Im using ubuntu on a server and I would like to place it under SELinux to make it a bit more secure.. | 23:58 |
| tonewhy | can any explain to me why kismet doesn't work on my machine? | 23:58 |
| Daniel722 | i download the last 29 update an my sound is gone | 23:58 |
| ASULutzy | Ice_Max: Someone else sent that. And yes, you would want to install Ubuntu to an ext3 partition (it defaults to this) and then to be able to read and write to it in Windows you need the driver from that link (installed in Windows) | 23:58 |
| hatter | Ice_Max, or use samba | 23:59 |
| Ice_Max | asulutzy: wait, that was zvacet | 23:59 |
| Ice_Max | ok, gonna go install ubuntu now then | 23:59 |
