| bobbob1016 | Is there any way to install splashy without removing ubuntu-desktop? I know ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, but I prefer keeping it. Splashy is a usplash replacement, so I can see why it'd be in ubuntu-desktop, but just wondering. | 00:04 |

| ffm | Hey, I just installed ubuntu-server, and now ehn booting I get "this kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU" (newline) "0:8" | 00:05 |
| ffm | Any idea why/how I can fix this? | 00:05 |
| Ice_Max | i can use a USB drive as swap space right? | 00:06 |
| * ffm is running this inside VirtualBox. | 00:06 | |
| rampageoberon | Ice_Max: yes | 00:06 |
| ffm | Ice_Max: Flash drive? | 00:06 |
| ChunkyKs | solexious: find . -name \*.ini -exec rm {} \; | 00:06 |
| ffm | Ice_Max: That's bad. | 00:06 |
| Ice_Max | ffm: yes | 00:06 |
| ffm | Ice_Max: It'll kill the drive quickly. | 00:06 |
| ChunkyKs | be warned that's not portable to a lot of unixes | 00:06 |
| Ice_Max | o wiat, does it always use that as the swap space then? | 00:06 |
| ChunkyKs | but since this is an ubuntu chatroom I imagine that won't be an issue | 00:06 |
| Ice_Max | permantently? | 00:06 |
| === sean is now known as Guest51979 | ||
| solexious | chunkyks: thank you | 00:07 |
| ChunkyKs | welcome | 00:07 |

| tonewhy | hi i have a laptop with centrino ip2100 chip and i plugged in a dlink dwl-g630 cardbus, and i'm trying to get kismet to run | 00:07 |

| tonewhy | can anyone help me? | 00:07 |
| ffm | Ice_Max: yes, forever. | 00:07 |
| ffm | Ice_Max: you have a limmited number of writes to flash drives. That number is high, like 10,000-100,000, but using it as swap hurts quickly. | 00:08 |
| [d]0wn | I have a BIOS 1024 cylinder limit. how would I install the kernel in a different partition? | 00:08 |
| Ice_Max | how much space should i leave for swap space? | 00:09 |

| UsuarioDoBrasil | I need some help on installing Ubuntu on Virtualbox! | 00:12 |
| stemount^ | prologi1: 8.10 isn't released yet! | 00:12 |
| genii | prologi1: 8.10 is not officially released yet, hence there is no upgrade from 8.04 to it | 00:13 |
| ffm | !ask | UsuarioDoBrasil | 00:13 |
| ubottu | UsuarioDoBrasil: 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. :-) | 00:13 |
| prologi1 | stemount: yes but I can still use it though ? | 00:13 |
| zvacet | prologi1 : I don´t believe you want to do that | 00:13 |
| * stemount^ agrees with zvacet, prologi1 | 00:13 | |
| ASULutzy | prologi1: Ubuntu's version numbers come from the year and month they released. gutsy gibbon was 7.10, meaning october 2007, Hardy Heron is 8.04, meaning April 2008, and 8.10 will be Intrepid Ibex, and that comes out in October of 2008 | 00:13 |
| UsuarioDoBrasil | If I install Ubuntu or Debian in Virtualbox, how much space will b consumed? | 00:14 |
| zvacet | UsuarioDoBrasil : give it min 5GB | 00:14 |
| bobbob1016 | prologi1, I don't think you should go to an early release unless you know how. You need to know how to do it, to be able to handle it. | 00:15 |
| UsuarioDoBrasil | And, will it make any changes to my bootloader or Windows drivers, or something out of the VM? | 00:15 |

| Ice_Max | dam, ubuntu is quick to install from live CD | 00:17 |
| alan_m | Ice_Max, yep, sure is :) | 00:17 |
| kevjava | VB and python could be fairly close. | 00:17 |
| stemount^ | Ice_Max: much faster with the alternative CD, I use a pen drive to install ubuntu off, it's mad speed | 00:17 |
| stemount^ | :) | 00:17 |
| alan_m | Ice_Max, which cd are you using? the live or alternate install cd? | 00:17 |
| alan_m | stemount^, ive found the lives faster because it just copies an "image" of whats on the cd to your pc..the alternate has to unpack everything, so it generally takes longer. | 00:18 |
| Ice_Max | alan_m: the regualr live Cd, i got it from discountlinuxdvd.com | 00:18 |

| sarthor | Jack_Sparrow, i checked the cd for the .deb pakages, but i did not find any. Where are that??? | 00:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !deb | 00:49 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 00:49 |
| zvacet | un_dave : you can put it in your home folder but if azureus is installed it knows where to go I supose it is /usr/bin | 00:49 |
| kevjava | piojosso: just 'cd' into the directory with all the deb files that you want to install, then run 'dpkg -i *.deb', and dpkg should try and locally install them all. | 00:49 |

| jack__ | Jack_Sparrow, The wiki you gave me helped me to install regular fonts. I know how to install, I was just wondering about how I could change the type from a .ttf to a .utf I have searched for this quite a while. I might just change my question and ask if anyone knows how to install new cursive fonts on GIMP | 01:00 |
| HardDisk | magic_ninja, do the netmon applet | 01:00 |
| connor | yeah | 01:00 |
| Skyline969 | I'll be back later. | 01:00 |

| jack__ | Jack_Sparrow, no problem, thanks though | 01:01 |
| connor | sparky: use wubi | 01:01 |
| kajo_ | HardDisk, either it didn't work, or I changed the wrong thing. | 01:01 |
| connor | sparky: wubi-installer.org | 01:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sparky The short answer is no | 01:01 |
| zvacet | Xpistos : I hope it will work for you I´m going to sleep now good night to all | 01:01 |
| ndf | hey guys, you know those things that pop up saying 'starting <program name>...', why do they still hang aroud and give you the wait cursor even after whatever it's launching has finished launching? | 01:01 |
| rampageoberon | sparky: you can do a net install if you want | 01:01 |
| kexp903 | so how can I find out the partition map of my hard drive | 01:01 |
| connor | jack_sparrow: its called wubi | 01:01 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: so what is that 20 gig sda1 used for then if i never install windows, the way u worded that breakdown is a little confusing (sorry to be a pain in the ass) | 01:02 |
| HardDisk | kajo_, in sound you'll find a list to change to alsa, then do sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 01:02 |
| charlie1041 | hey i cant get talk to work, i installed xinetd and added entry for it.. even with 'mesg y' i get "user is refusing messages" what am i doing wrong? | 01:02 |
| kexp903 | I tried the fdisk -l but only /dev/sda1 | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sparky If you decide to use wubi read the faq carefully, I will not use or recommend it | 01:02 |
| soundray | kexp903: grub starts counting at 0, so /dev/sda1 becomes (hd0,0) | 01:02 |
| puff | Hey, anybody know about kernel voodoo? | 01:02 |
| HardDisk | connor, dont suggest wubi | 01:02 |
| protocol1 | phoenix3051, what type of graphics card are you using? | 01:02 |
| kexp903 | It doesn't comeout as (hd0,0) | 01:02 |
| connor | it works fine for me | 01:02 |
| HardDisk | you != everyone else | 01:02 |
| sparky | I dont' really intend on using Wubi, to be honest with ya :/ | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !worksforme | 01:02 |
| connor | harddisk:whats so bad about wubi? | 01:02 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 01:02 |
| kexp903 | so /dev/sda2 would be (hd0,3)? | 01:02 |
| HardDisk | we'll take the discussion to offtopic, for now I'm just here to help. | 01:02 |
| phoenix3051 | protocol1: ATI X1950 with dual monitors. | 01:03 |
| soundray | kexp903: no, (hd0,1) | 01:03 |
| rampageoberon | wubi isn't a true install | 01:03 |
| fazed | i wonder... there are 2 options for my resolution but only one of them seems to work without using virtualization.. | 01:03 |
| connor | so? | 01:03 |

| HardDisk | kajo_, you're welcome | 01:03 |

| === benzs_s is now known as benzss | ||
| HardDisk | sparky, you need to make sure Java's sun is running as the default | 01:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | connor Have you ever read the faq on wubi.. | 01:04 |

| connor | yes | 01:04 |
| puff | So, I've had all sorts of problems with my laptop. I think some of the problems were greatly confused by simultaneous hardware problems. However, what it boils down to is, I'm thinking about reinstallnig my system. However, the key problem I'm having is due to the most recent kernels. I | 01:04 |
| lsemple2 | I am trying to get grub to work too no luck | 01:04 |
| charlie1041 | hey i cant get talk to work, i installed xinetd and added entry for it.. even with 'mesg y' i get "user is refusing messages" what am i doing wrong? | 01:04 |
| sparky | HardDisk, how do I accomplish that? | 01:04 |
| puff | So once I install, if I do a full-update, I'll be back on the most recent kernel, which is causing disappearing wireless problems. | 01:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | connor So you are ok with a setup where a power outage can wipe out your wubi and windows install | 01:04 |
| camason | I just had an issue 2 minutes ago... I hit ctrl+alt+backspace, and the system locked up with the PC speaker beeping 20 times. I had to manually power down | 01:05 |
| HardDisk | sparky, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 01:05 |
| phoenix3051 | protocol1: The drivers are installed and everything appears to be working, until I reboot when the configuration appears to "reset" to 1 output with "clone"'d desktop as opposed to "dual" outputs and "big desktop" | 01:05 |

| HardDisk | sparky, basically run sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun | 01:05 |
| lsemple2 | I can't seem to set up my grub properly | 01:05 |

| HardDisk | sparky, what application? | 01:06 |
| soundray | puff: not really, but you can downgrade the kernel package and its dependencies. Slightly intricate, but possible. | 01:07 |
| sparky | HardDisk, what do you mean? | 01:07 |
| protocol1 | phoenix3051, you might want ask someone else about that....beyond me | 01:07 |

| tico | hey some body knows how to speed up boot time on ubuntu 8.04? i don't know why it takes too long | 01:17 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: isn't it no, !broadcom is ... | 01:17 |
| onthefence928 | hey can anybody tell me or point me to a list of essential windows programs that can't be run under linux at all or don't have linux equivalents? | 01:18 |
| puff | intel pro, ipw2200 | 01:18 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, give me one sec I'll point you to a link | 01:18 |
| [T]an1 | ok | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 Working on it | 01:18 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: not sure why you would want to run many windows programs in linux | 01:18 |
| ASULutzy | Jack_Sparrow: This is a bit picky, but why don't they include any mention of ndisgtk in there? I realize it's just a frontend for ndiswrapper, but still, it could make the process simpler and "warmer" for people having issues | 01:18 |
| deeperror | onthefence928, are you on the fence between windows and linux? | 01:18 |
| Sasha09 | okay | 01:18 |
| Sasha09 | for the bcm43 | 01:18 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php | 01:18 |
| Sasha09 | i blacklisted it | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ASULutzy If someone wants to write up a decent page I will get it linked up | 01:19 |
| linuxmonkey | onthefence928: Essential is a relative question. as far as I know essential to me, there are none, linux has it all | 01:19 |
| Sasha09 | but it didn't help | 01:19 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: awesome... thanks | 01:19 |
| Sasha09 | one sec i will look for the tutorial i was using | 01:19 |
| Skyline969 | Leave it to Windows to automatically restart my computer.... | 01:19 |
| HardDisk | np | 01:19 |
| Skyline969 | Can't wait until I upgrade my laptop. | 01:19 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: that and the accompenying thread seem to be great | 01:19 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: because i want to see if i can do without windows | 01:19 |
| deeperror | linuxmonkey, should be the other way around what windows lacks | 01:19 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: What repo would the latest kernel be in? | 01:19 |
| puff | soundray: intel pro, ipw2200 | 01:19 |
| linuxmonkey | true deeperror | 01:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 IT will be changed shortly.. thanks for the nudge | 01:19 |

| rampageoberon | onthefence928: the best thing i'd suggest is start learning how to use linux programs. There are quite a few that do the same thing as windows ones | 01:20 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: and in the long run, running linux you are better off using linux programs | 01:20 |
| tico | some one knows how to speed up ubuntu 8.04 boot time? :S | 01:20 |
| soundray | onthefence928: the biggest problem for me are gadgets (e.g. Tomtom GPS) that come with Windows software only. Very annoying. Some of these you can get to work with wine, but this is the place where I struggle the most. | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tico remove splash from the grub boot line | 01:20 |
| onthefence928 | soundray: that reminds me, i need a way to update my zune >.> | 01:21 |
| tico | Jack_sparrow: thanks i am goint to check that brb | 01:21 |

| soundray | puff: I'm surprised you've got issues with it -- I've got one of those and it's the best wifi device I've ever used. | 01:21 |
| HardDisk | then just run the command I gave you earlier sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 01:21 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: i've been using linux now for only a month, and have avoided wine at all costs. best to make full use of whats available, and get used to new applications. some are even better | 01:22 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, it will automatically let you know of any kernel updates | 01:22 |

| bluefoxx | , but as i said, it wont boot | 01:22 |
| Sasha09 | what does deprecated mean? | 01:22 |
| HardDisk | bluefoxx, keeps deleting your nvidia drivers..... | 01:22 |
| rampageoberon | bluefoxx: booting cd you mean or an install? | 01:22 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: i am trying every linux app i can find i'm just planning on wiping a drive with my windows install on it and i want to make sure if i fuck it up permanatly that i won't be screwed in teh future | 01:22 |
| bluefoxx | which makes me wonder, do i need 64 bit for 2 32 bit CPUs? | 01:22 |
| HardDisk | depreciated means something made less off | 01:23 |
| bluefoxx | HardDisk; yea, they uninstall on reboot | 01:23 |

| Sasha09 | no | 01:23 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: Could it just be that its not yet available in the repos? | 01:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx HAve you removed quiet and splash at the first menu and looked for the exact error | 01:23 |
| Sasha09 | deprecated lol | 01:23 |
| HardDisk | bluefoxx, trolling? | 01:23 |

| bluefoxx | rampageoberon; boot disks fail, and then i got it isntalled once[edubuntu server] and it wouldnt boot | 01:23 |
| D3RGPS31 | HardDisk: thanks | 01:23 |
| deeperror | andy56_uk, so you can't see their shares? | 01:24 |
| bluefoxx | HardDisk; i dont troll, unless im very very bored | 01:24 |
| HardDisk | :) | 01:24 |
| andy56_uk | deeperror: that's correct | 01:24 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: for most of the regular tasks i've found very good applications in linux. it is just in video encoding that i haven't and that is because i need to learn how to use mencoder properly. give it a go, there are lots of good applications in linux. you won't need many windows ones | 01:24 |
| soundray | D3RGPS31: have you tried the default (open source) one? | 01:24 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: i am a computer science student in college, i have an xbox that i like to stream music and videos with, and i have a zune that needs updating, will i be able to make all that work? | 01:24 |
| rampageoberon | bluefoxx: checked your bios settings? | 01:24 |
| bluefoxx | soundray; not for what? | 01:24 |
| grndslm | anybody know why audacious just wouldn't want to start up anymore?? ... i'm running hardy, FWIW. | 01:24 |
| bluefoxx | rampageoberon; its all fine >< | 01:24 |
| BCM43 | Uplink: you need to upgrade java | 01:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx Do you get the first start or install menu | 01:25 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: no idea about zune, last i read about it weren't microsoft shooing it away? | 01:25 |
| BCM43 | grndslm: run in the terminal and see if you get any errors | 01:25 |
| HardDisk | grndslm, run it in terminal see the error message | 01:25 |
| bluefoxx | im installing to a 30gb pata disk | 01:25 |
| Uplink | BCM43, i thought my updater updated it automatically | 01:25 |
| bluefoxx | Jack_Sparrow; goes to boot menu | 01:25 |
| rampageoberon | bluefoxx: it really should boot any disk regardless i think | 01:25 |
| BCM43 | Uplink: it might not for java | 01:25 |
| soundray | bluefoxx: you can't install amd64 on 32bit processors, no matter how many you have. | 01:25 |
| grndslm | BCM43, HardDisk: Segmentation Fault!! | 01:25 |
| Sasha09 | i still need help xD | 01:25 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: also i've noticed at least one website that fails under linux but not under windows (both in firefox) would one of those internet explorer emulator add-ons in firefox also work in linux? | 01:25 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: what does zune exactly do? | 01:26 |
| deeperror | andy56_uk, can you mount the share? | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx From the boot menu.. ie start or install since you did not answer that directly.. what boot options have you tried | 01:26 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: MainServer | 01:26 |
| bluefoxx | i also want ubuntu cause i *know* it will support a ir remote and tv tuner | 01:26 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: zune is like the windows version of an ipod | 01:26 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: yes it could, really depends how that website is determining your user agent | 01:26 |
| HardDisk | grndslm, try to rm ~/.config/audacious | 01:26 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: ah, i refuse to use ipods, and not even laid eyes on zune | 01:27 |
| andy56_uk | deeperror: haven't tried that. Will have a go and let you know. | 01:27 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, strange. | 01:27 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: i'm addicted to my HD based MP3 players but i got fed up with ipod | 01:27 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, it would update. | 01:27 |
| bluefoxx | Jack_Sparrow; when i boot the cd, it asks to boot try or boot install, or boot from hard disk, i choose start and it fails | 01:27 |
| grndslm | HardDisk: thank you so much... i was trying to look for its config directory!! woot!! | 01:27 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: way way overrated teh zune is just as good and i haven't noticed any of microsofts usual tricks with it | 01:27 |

| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 01:28 |
| HardDisk | BCM43 ? | 01:28 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: fair enough | 01:28 |
| [T]an1 | found it... its in the hardy-proposed | 01:28 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, you didn't enable that? | 01:28 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: forgot what it's called but it lets you open a new tab that behaves like IE | 01:28 |
| Uplink | BCM43, what do i download? http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com:80 | 01:28 |
| BCM43 | HardDisk: that was a fix for him, but it looks like you told him how to fix it | 01:28 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: if you are not sure start with a dual boot, and then nuke windows when you are ready | 01:28 |
| puff | soundray: Okay, so do a fresh install on the root partition, then do a full-upgrade, then dpkg -i --forcedowngrade on the four packages related to the kernel image. | 01:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx Other possible options include but not limited to.. noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable | 01:28 |

| [T]an1 | now i have it | 01:28 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, I told you the extra's too | 01:28 |
| HardDisk | :) | 01:28 |
| magic_ninja | i have a couple problems, first one is that when i go to exit or restart i sit at my desktop and X doesn't close | 01:29 |
| ASULutz1 | oh I left | 01:29 |
| [T]an1 | my bad | 01:29 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: fast useragent switcher just makes the browser appear as whatever you tell it, not in a new tab | 01:29 |
| D3RGPS31 | soundray: i updated form that to ATI's, and it doesn't work well (sorry for the stall) | 01:29 |
| BCM43 | Uplink: seccond one | 01:29 |
| legend2440 | Uplink: for frostwire install sun-java6-jre in synaptic | 01:29 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: i myself have xp and am dualbooting, but i haven't booted into it since i installed ubuntu | 01:29 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: ah well that works too i guess | 01:29 |
| bluefoxx | Jack_Sparrow; i tried that. ivetried every work around i could think of. it even failed to boot puppy. ive replaced the cabling, removed everything unnessiciary, and it still fails to run anything but windows -. -" the user guide for the mobo says it supports anything you throw at it, as it should being a server board | 01:29 |
| Uplink | legend2440, TY =D | 01:29 |
| Uplink | BCM43, ok ty | 01:29 |
| HardDisk | Uplink, or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:30 |
| soundray | puff: sorry, I was talking trash. If you do a fresh install, of course it will install the (slightly outdated) kernel that's on the installation CD. | 01:30 |
| HardDisk | Uplink, it will install java and a bunch of other nice goodies | 01:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx Sounds like their doc lie | 01:30 |
| Uplink | HardDisk, i have it | 01:30 |
| rampageoberon | ubuntu-restricted-extras are great | 01:30 |
| [T]an1 | rampageoberon: how so | 01:30 |
| Skyline969 | Restricted extras? Like MP3 and WMA support? | 01:30 |
| soundray | puff: so no downgrades required. Maybe you should pin the kernel and modules packages, though | 01:30 |
| soundray | !pinning | puff | 01:30 |
| ubottu | puff: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 01:30 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, do it sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bluefoxx I may get shot for this.. but have you tried a copy of knoppix | 01:31 |
| Skyline969 | That's one thing I hate about Ubuntu. No MP3 and WMA support out of the box, so to speak. | 01:31 |
| bluefoxx | i wanted to use it as a interconnecting box. use tuner card to save to raid array, iptv broadcast to main box, laptop, and send that to tv... | 01:31 |
| Uplink | legend2440, how do i install it on the synaptics? | 01:31 |
| HardDisk | bluefoxx, or fedora/opensuse? | 01:31 |
| w33d5 | does anyone know of a good duplicate image finder using exif data? | 01:31 |
| bluefoxx | Jack_Sparrow; no can do >. > | 01:31 |
| bluefoxx | no burner on this laptop | 01:31 |
| soundray | Skyline969: you know why that is though? | 01:31 |
| HardDisk | Skyline969, because they are not open source | 01:31 |
| Skyline969 | Legal issues, right soundray? | 01:31 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: please remove youself from this channel | 01:31 |
| rampageoberon | [T]an1: installs a lot of useful things, playing restricted media (mp3 etc) and openjdk | 01:31 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: that sounds a lot like the time someone told me to do an rm -rf / | 01:31 |
| [T]an1 | :-D | 01:31 |
| bluefoxx | and my main is down after installing a new heatsink on a new cpu. heatsink killed the mobo | 01:31 |

| HardDisk | [T]an1, lol | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 I should.. Ok.. time me out | 01:32 |
| soundray | Skyline969: that's one way to put it. | 01:32 |
| legend2440 | Uplink: easier way is type in terminal sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 01:32 |
| Skyline969 | But there is a way to get MP3 and WMA support on Ubuntu, right? | 01:32 |
| [T]an1 | Do it!! | 01:32 |
| bluefoxx | so i need to lurk in my local[ish] recycling center for a new pga 478 mobo with the specs im after >< | 01:32 |
| soundray | Skyline969: yes | 01:32 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: i am currently under a dual boot but my ubuntu install had a mind of it's own in terms of partitions so i don't ahve as much room here as i'd like, space-wise. but for some reaosn the only way i've been able to see my windows partitions in any kind of disk partition manager is when i'm under windows , so i may have to wipe windows to get more room, and i don't want to get screwed and wipe my windows drive never to get i | 01:32 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 01:37 |
| Skyline969 | Remove three things, "quiet" "splash" "--"? | 01:38 |
| HardDisk | Skyline969, as Jack_Sparrow said. | 01:38 |
| Skyline969 | Ah, alright. | 01:38 |
| Skyline969 | I'll just copy and paste that. | 01:38 |
| HardDisk | good idea :) | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 01:38 |
| Skyline969 | Or not. =P It won't let me block it to copy. No matter, print screen works too. | 01:38 |
| theFATMAN | how do I install a GRUB splash theme? | 01:38 |
| subsume|work | After an upgrade to 7.10 my wifi nor my network card work. the NIC card may have been broken, but the WIFI doesn't show up. | 01:38 |
| Skyline969 | Alright, be right back. Gonna emergency shutdown my laptop and bring it here. | 01:39 |
| speek | hey | 01:39 |
| subsume|work | Network shows no devices (except a telephone modem) | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theFATMAN There are ways, but grub isnt glitzy like lilo in that regard | 01:39 |
| HardDisk | theFATMAN, www.ubuntugeek.com/startup-manager-change-settings-in-grub-grub2-and-usplash.html | 01:39 |
| speek | i've started to play around with version control, and i was wondering what people had to say about different forms of version control | 01:39 |
| bluefoxx | i suppose i should just build a new machine on 775 tech, but its still overpriced, and i like my new 478 cpu i found[3.2ghz 2001 intel p4 unlocked multi and ht tech, $10] | 01:39 |
| speek | a la mercurial vs git vs svn vs cvs | 01:39 |
| HardDisk | svn | 01:40 |
| Kryptt_ | Anyone knows if theres an Postal 2 patch for linux? | 01:40 |
| theFATMAN | Jack_Sparrow: just curious, I found a nice, simple one on gnome-look.org | 01:40 |
| speek | why svn? | 01:40 |
| jrib | speek: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? | 01:40 |
| HardDisk | dunno I feel it's just faster and easier | 01:40 |
| Skyline969 | Let's hope it loads more than just the desktop background this time. | 01:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theFATMAN That page that was linked should be all you need | 01:40 |
| speek | jrib, sure, sorry about that | 01:40 |
| HardDisk | speek, you could always ppa.launchpad it as well | 01:40 |
| Sasha09 | hi | 01:41 |
| theFATMAN | HardDisk: thanks, i'm checking it out now, do you guys have experience with these? | 01:41 |
| Sasha09 | i got a bit of progress on wifi | 01:41 |
| Sasha09 | but i am stuck: | 01:41 |
| HardDisk | theFATMAN, don't worry experiment :) | 01:41 |
| jebus | HardDisk thank you for the good cam program | 01:41 |
| HardDisk | theFATMAN, you can't break linux if you mess up the grub theme | 01:41 |
| Skyline969 | So remove quiet and splash? What will that do, really? | 01:41 |
| theFATMAN | HardDisk: lol, last time i did that, i ended up with a white screen problem ;) | 01:41 |
| HardDisk | np | 01:41 |

| Bhavesh | Wi-Fi PCMCIA card recommendation? the one that i have has issues associating with AP | 01:42 |
| mvinsc | hello | 01:42 |
| HardDisk | Skyline969, it will show you what's being loaded, no splash screen | 01:42 |
| theFATMAN | ttyl | 01:42 |
| === theaber_ is now known as theaber | ||
| HardDisk | theFATMAN, hahah :D | 01:42 |
| soundray | subsume|work: look at lspci output to see if the cards are seen by the kernel. If they are there, you can look through dmesg output for indications why driver loading fails. | 01:42 |
| Skyline969 | Alright. Now checking. | 01:42 |
| swhitt | how do I see where files are installed to for a particular package in aptitude | 01:42 |
| Sasha09 | i think maybe the problem is the *network DISABLED line | 01:42 |
| subsume|work | soundray: could you give me some more specific help on looking at lspci output? | 01:42 |
| Starnestommy | swhitt: dpkg -L <package-name> | 01:42 |
| Skyline969 | That's a lot of text.... =P | 01:42 |
| HardDisk | Skyline969, yep | 01:43 |
| Skyline969 | Aha? Seems to have stopped here. | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 It will stop at the error.. making it easier, or it will flag it red | 01:43 |
| mvinsc | does anyone know how to mount a SD card in the media slot on my laptop? | 01:43 |
| Skyline969 | And another error.... | 01:43 |
| soundray | subsume|work: have a look at the output from just 'lspci'. It should be easy enough to recognize your network devices. | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mvinsc Most built in card readers aer propietary and hard to get going. | 01:43 |
| Sasha09 | Is there a way to enable the wireless? | 01:43 |
| soundray | subsume|work: I assume they are PCI cards? | 01:44 |
| subsume|work | soundray: Cool. Seems to be there. There is a Network controller | 01:44 |
| j1solutions | hello all | 01:44 |
| cdavis | I can get my system to completely freeze and cannot figure out what is causing it. Is there a way to have it log to a file instead of console kernel panic type stuff? | 01:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 some errors like fd0 are not a big deal | 01:44 |
| soundray | !wifi | Sasha09 | 01:44 |
| Skyline969 | Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -256756235 ns) and then end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 | 01:44 |
| soundray | subsume|work: just the Ethernet one? | 01:44 |
| bluefoxx | mvinsc; it should show up on the desktop when you insert it, or it will be in the "computer" partof the file browser | 01:44 |
| subsume|work | soundray: RaLink RT2400 902.11g Cardbus/mini_PCI | 01:44 |
| subsume|work | soundray: I don't see the ethernet one. | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Sasha09: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:44 |
| RiotingPacifist | flash really sucks at rendering full screen (worse than it did in 7.10) even without compiz!, im on an ati card can i add module donotsuckatflash or something to xorg? | 01:44 |
| Skyline969 | And now it says loop: module loaded | 01:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 be patient there will be two fd0 errors then it will continue | 01:45 |
| Sasha09 | i am already looking at the wifi docs >> | 01:45 |
| Skyline969 | And then something about squashfs. | 01:45 |
| mvinsc | bluefoxx, cannot mount then it shows up and i have no permissions | 01:45 |
| soundray | subsume|work: okay. What do you want to do, look for the wired Ethernet device or make wireless work? | 01:45 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone ever have a pscan2 attack ? anything ubuntu related? apparently it's a port scanner and let's just say I'm not happy at the moment | 01:45 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; i think ralinks work pretty well out of the box[or i found] jsut find a wifi manager for ubuntu. | 01:45 |
| Skyline969 | The screen went blank, then returned. I'm assuming that's normal. | 01:45 |
| bluefoxx | mvinsc; cause it is windows file format | 01:45 |
| j1solutions | hey Rioting Pass-A-Fist, I like that username | 01:45 |
| subsume|work | soundray: I'm guessing the Ethernet device is dead.... making wifi work would be cool | 01:45 |
| Skyline969 | There, says it's setting the keymap and whatnot. Should load fine now. | 01:46 |
| bluefoxx | mvinsc; you need sudo to access it, unless you run chown/chmod on it | 01:46 |
| subsume|work | bluefoxx: =( I tried it but it didn't detect the device. | 01:46 |
| puff | soundray: So if I pin just the kernel package for the kernel version I want, will the other packages (e.g. ehaders, etc) that the kernel depends on be held back? | 01:46 |
| soundray | subsume|work: RaLink devices tend to be a bit troublesome | 01:46 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; was it in there when you installed? | 01:46 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: you ever use VMware? | 01:46 |
| ghost | what is the ARCH linux irc channel? | 01:46 |
| subsume|work | bluefoxx: yes, it was there. that's how I installed. | 01:46 |
| Sasha09 | i need to enable Wireless I think | 01:46 |
| Bhavesh | bbl | 01:46 |
| Sasha09 | but i don't know how!! | 01:47 |
| Starnestommy | ghost: #archlinux | 01:47 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: at first yes, tried ubuntu on a virtual machine under XP | 01:47 |
| ghost | thanks | 01:47 |
| Skyline969 | Blank screen now... got the cursor. It looks like it's loading exactly the way it was before I removed those two words from the command line. | 01:47 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; weird. did you check the forums about the specific model? | 01:47 |
| subsume|work | soundray: is there a shot I can give it? | 01:47 |
| soundray | puff: I don't know, I haven't used pinning in the way you intend to. Perhaps it will be enough to set the kernel package to hold -- there's a command in synaptic | 01:47 |
| ghost | is it going to be radically different than ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: loved it, so did a proper install with dualboot (which i have not used since :)) | 01:47 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: why didn't you just use wubi? | 01:47 |
| Skyline969 | It played the startup sound and now I see the cursor and a light brown screen. | 01:47 |
| Skyline969 | As usual. | 01:47 |
| Sasha09 | i need help -__- | 01:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 give it a couple miutes there just to be sure then try those other tow additions to the command line | 01:47 |
| Skyline969 | Alright. | 01:48 |
| HardDisk | !help | Sasha09 | 01:48 |
| Skyline969 | I hate doing this emergency shutdown stuff to my laptop though. | 01:48 |
| ubottu | Sasha09: I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 01:48 |
| Starnestommy | ghost: a lot. It's still GNU/Linux like Ubuntu, but is desidged differently | 01:48 |
| soundray | subsume|work: first, look for anything in dmesg that relates to the device. A useful search is for 'rt' | 01:48 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: wubi is good in some cases, though i didn't want to use it after reading about it | 01:48 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: and how do i go about install everything i need to run a windows XP VM? the VMware website is retarded | 01:48 |
| Starnestommy | *designed | 01:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 livecd doesnt do what shutdown on a hd install can do | 01:48 |
| HardDisk | Skyline969, did you add the other lines Jack_Sparrow told you? | 01:48 |
| subsume|work | bluefoxx: is this a sick joke? http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/88486/index.html | 01:48 |
| Sasha09 | okay ubottu, can you tell me how to enable wireless? | 01:49 |
| HardDisk | Skyline969, I would like to suggest to use the alternate cd | 01:49 |
| rampageoberon | Well install VMware, create a new virtual machine mount the cd if oyu have an iso, or stick the ubuntu cd in and start the VM | 01:49 |
| subsume|work | ^ leads to a blank page! | 01:49 |
| Uplink | where do i put frostwire skins? | 01:49 |
| HardDisk | !wifi | Sasha09 | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Sasha09: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:49 |

| CaptainMorgan | !anti-virus | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Factoid anti-virus not found | 01:49 |
| Skyline969 | I didn't add the other lines yet. I tried removing the two first and now I'm letting it start up for a bit. | 01:49 |
| CaptainMorgan | !virus | 01:49 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 those two adds are quite common changes | 01:49 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; <waits for internet to load> | 01:49 |
| HardDisk | CaptainMorgan, do you need an antivirus? check out ClamAv | 01:49 |
| soundray | puff: it's Package-Lock Version | 01:49 |
| HardDisk | if you need to scan a windows drive | 01:49 |
| [T]an1 | anyone every paired their bluetooth headset with ubuntu? | 01:50 |

| HardDisk | nah forget that link Jack_Sparrow | 01:50 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: i'd suggest a proper install rather than VM too, i got sick of the VM in 5 days and did a full install | 01:50 |
| HardDisk | Blueman Project | 01:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Another old link | 01:50 |
| [T]an1 | what I am running into is when i run btsco -v i get an error | 01:51 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; it wont load:0 | 01:51 |
| [T]an1 | pasting the error.... | 01:51 |
| subsume|work | bluefoxx: its blank. | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk LEts fix the factoid while we are here | 01:51 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, blueman.tuxfamily.org | 01:51 |
| Uplink | where do i put frostwire skins? | 01:51 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, I've never done it before. | 01:51 |
| [T]an1 | http://pastebin.ca/1044419 | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk What is the best link for bluetooth | 01:51 |
| onthefence928 | rampageoberon: yes well i looked online and it seems the only way to run teh zune software under linux so far is to use VMware | 01:51 |
| Skyline969 | Right now I can hear the CD spinning madly in the drive and the CPU light is almost constantly green, meaning it is doing SOMETHING. But still, nothing gets done. | 01:51 |
| subsume|work | soundray: from the internet "after a quick google I discovered that everybody was having this problem and support for this chipset had been broken in 7.10; " ... "only solution I found was to build the kernel bits and bobs manually from serialmonkey just like the previous situation in Fedora!" | 01:52 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, well there is an application that does everything blueman.tuxfamily.org | 01:52 |
| subsume|work | soundray: what does that mean? | 01:52 |
| tzon1 | can anyone offer me some insight into zenity and listboxes ? | 01:52 |
| haygus | hi | 01:52 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; check ubuntuforums.org for support/step by step then...im going to fire up my games again >. >[myst masterpeice edition XD] | 01:52 |
| haygus | how i restart apache ? | 01:52 |
| [T]an1 | ok, doing the blueman way | 01:52 |
| [T]an1 | sudo wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/blueman/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/blueman.list | 01:52 |
| tzon1 | haygus: /etc/init.d/apache restart | 01:52 |
| Pretto | haygus, apache2ctl restart | 01:52 |
| rampageoberon | onthefence928: oh ok, well doesn't affect me as i choose to stay far away from zune | 01:52 |
| bluefoxx | subsume|work; good luck anyways, hope you can get it going >< | 01:52 |
| CaptainMorgan | my /etc/motd banner page for SSH keeps changing upon a system reboot... how can I get this banner to stay static ? | 01:53 |
| haygus | apache2ctl restart or etc/init.d/apache restart ? | 01:53 |
| subsume|work | thx =) | 01:53 |
| xTOGx | hai guyz | 01:53 |
| ChunkyKs | never use apach restart | 01:53 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, Virtualbox is better because it does USB 2.0 | 01:53 |
| ChunkyKs | apache graceful is your friend | 01:53 |
| soundray | subsume|work: it's not as terrible as it sounds, and I think you should do some more diagnostics before you decide to compile your own driver. | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find blueman | 01:53 |
| ubottu | File blueman found in openclipart-png, openclipart-svg | 01:53 |
| HardDisk | ? | 01:53 |
| haygus | ty | 01:53 |
| Skyline969 | Should it have at least loaded the background image for the desktop by now? | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk That page says that blueman is in the repos | 01:54 |
| subsume|work | soundray: d'ok. tail dmesg rt ? | 01:54 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, it's a different app | 01:54 |
| tzon1 | ChunkyKs: what's wrong with init.d? | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 try with those command changes I gave you | 01:54 |
| Skyline969 | Please give them to me again. I got the ones to remove. | 01:54 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, this is the Blueman Project | 01:54 |
| tonewhy | hi i was wondering how i can setup a dual boot system with linux on one hardrive and windows on other | 01:55 |
| soundray | subsume|work: but to answer your question, the serialmonkey project develops Linux drivers for Ralink Tech wifi cards. You can go to their site and download the latest driver source that hasn't made it into any official kernels yet. | 01:55 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, sorry! I just checked | 01:55 |
| subsume|work | soundray: computer is a tombstone without a network card =) | 01:55 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: and i can run teh zune software with it? | 01:55 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, yes sir. | 01:55 |
| puff | soundray: I'm reinstallnig, and /home is on a separate partition. I'm copying dpkg.log into my home directory so I can see what packages I installed. Anything else from / that I should back up? | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk Per the link (The deb packages in the repository are already patched, I will also make merges with official ubuntu packages) | 01:55 |
| onthefence928 | harddisk: thank you | 01:55 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, I have one as a gift. | 01:55 |
| rampageoberon | CaptainMorgan: the /etc/motd just points to /var/run/motd, so you need to figure out how to change that | 01:55 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, sounds good | 01:56 |
| Uplink | where do i put frostwire skins? | 01:56 |
| soundray | subsume|work: 'dmesg | grep -C 2 rt' | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk We can look at it more when I am less tired | 01:56 |
| Skyline969 | It showed a grey box at the top where the top menu bar would go, but it quickly disappeared. | 01:56 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: cool can you point me toa tutorial to get it running? | 01:56 |
| soundray | !clone | puff | 01:56 |
| ubottu | puff: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 01:56 |
| [T]an1 | HarDisk: holy crap thats cool!! | 01:56 |
| [T]an1 | thanks | 01:56 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, well I use it and wrote a small article on linux-noob.com | 01:56 |
| tonewhy | can anyone tell me how i can setup a dual boot on diferent hard drives? i alreaady have ubuntu on 1 but i can't install windows on the other | 01:56 |

| HardDisk | onthefence928, yes give me a second | 01:56 |
| Uplink | where do i put frostwire skins? | 01:57 |
| tonewhy | can anyone tell me how i can setup a dual boot on diferent hard drives? i alreaady have ubuntu on 1 but i can't install windows on the other hardrive | 01:57 |
| ChunkyKs | graceful tells apache to stop accepting new requests and finish serving the ones it has, then it restarts it | 01:57 |
| HardDisk | Uplink, please do not repeat, check the frostwire website. | 01:57 |
| Uplink | HardDisk, i did | 01:57 |
| Skyline969 | Alright. What will the noapic acpi=off do? | 01:57 |
| soundray | puff: if you have any databases, back them up separately. Also backup /etc if you've made manual configurations in there that could be useful for referring to. | 01:57 |
| HardDisk | is there a .frostwire directory? | 01:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | yes | 01:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | should be | 01:58 |
| SebNaitsabes | as a hidden folder in your home folder | 01:58 |
| rampageoberon | tonewhy: its usually easier installing windows first and then ubuntu for dual booting | 01:58 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, first go to www.virtualbox.org and download virtualbox it will take you to the sun website, choose your ubuntu deb and download and install it | 01:58 |
| Skyline969 | Aha! The background image finally loaded.... progress is VERY slow in the loading department. | 01:58 |
| subsume|work | soundray: looked carefully and didn't see anything. | 01:59 |
| tonewhy | rampageoberon, but i don't want to erase ubuntu now, can i stil do it | 01:59 |
| xTOGx | ok, so i've got stuff installed. how do i get the gui to come up in xubuntu? all i see after login is nathan@ubuntu:~$ | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 Progress is progress | 01:59 |
| rampageoberon | tonewhy: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm <-- have a look at that | 01:59 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: i just got it from teh add/remove utility on ubuntu is that good? | 01:59 |
| Skyline969 | Yes, progress IS progress, but I got this far this quickly without removing those two commands from the line. | 01:59 |
| soundray | subsume|work: how many lines of output did you get? | 01:59 |
| subsume|work | soundray: about 70 i'd say | 01:59 |
| Zaiden | I have files in my trash that won't delete no matter what I do. It always gives me a "Permission Denied" message | 01:59 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, no because it doesn't support usb 2.0 | 01:59 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, it will be really slow | 01:59 |
| [T]an1 | HardDrive: ok, so how do i set this to receive audio from my laptop... i changed the device in my mixer to BT Headset (Alsa Mixer) and get no sound | 02:00 |
| tonewhy | rampageoberon, ok | 02:00 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: do alt-ctrl-f7 | 02:00 |
| Azih | doken | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 You may still end up using the alternate cd | 02:00 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: does that bring up the gui? | 02:00 |
| xTOGx | nope, doesn't look like it responds at all to it | 02:00 |
| soundray | subsume|work: any output from 'lsmod | grep rt'? | 02:00 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, is it paired correctly? | 02:00 |
| Skyline969 | What do you mean, the alternate CD? | 02:00 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: startx perhaps/ | 02:00 |
| puff | ubottu: !automate | 02:00 |
| ubottu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 text based install, no live gui | 02:00 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: it looks like it | 02:00 |
| subsume|work | soundray: some, but none seemingly related to the issue | 02:00 |
| Skyline969 | If it's a CD different than the Live CD, I don't have it, nor do I have the internet connection speed to download it. | 02:01 |
| altnickname | ok I need some help with a external drive that wont mount and I tried this after I made sure the ntfs-3g was and is installed sudo ntfsfix /dev/[DEVICENAME] | 02:01 |
| altnickname | Where [DEVICENAME] is the name of the drive (i.e. sda1) and not working says unknown command | 02:01 |
| bullium | Zaiden, where where the files originally located? | 02:01 |
| xTOGx | -bash: startx: command not found | 02:01 |
| [T]an1 | the icon on the right side of the blueman window says caonnected | 02:01 |
| subsume|work | soundray: 5 lines. none obviously wifi related | 02:01 |
| Skyline969 | Still, is startup gonna be THIS slow on my laptop once Ubuntu is installed? | 02:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 It is available for free.. it takes awhile.. but they mail it to you | 02:01 |
| moccuo | how do i install gvim in ubuntu? do i want vim-gtk? or vim-gnome? | 02:01 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, ok, and bonded? | 02:01 |
| Zaiden | bullium: I think they were on the desktop, copied from a flashdrive or a CD | 02:01 |
| Skyline969 | I know Jack_Sparrow, that's how I got my Live CD. | 02:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 no... how much ram is in that box | 02:01 |
| soundray | subsume|work: is your wifi card PCMCIA? | 02:01 |
| Skyline969 | 128 megs in this laptop. | 02:02 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: It does not say bonded... but the button at the top says unbond now instead of bond | 02:02 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: not sure what the command for the graphical manager in xubuntu is, maybe someone else will know | 02:02 |
| Skyline969 | Well below the requirements. | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 Might as well stop there... | 02:02 |
| [T]an1 | should it show me that its bonded in the list? | 02:02 |
| subsume|work | soundray: I'm not sure, but I don't think so. | 02:02 |
| HardDisk | lol Skyline969 no wonder :) | 02:02 |
| xTOGx | thanks, i'll check xubuntu, then i'll check back here in a bit | 02:02 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, yes | 02:02 |
| xTOGx | thanks rampageoberon | 02:02 |
| Skyline969 | But hey, the old junker I installed Ubuntu on had 128 megs as well, with an even slower CPU. | 02:02 |
| soundray | subsume|work: hidden inside your machine? | 02:02 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, oh ok nvm | 02:02 |
| linuxkrn | hey all, can you disable cdrom/dvd media check for gxine? Mine seems to take like 10-15 seconds each startup, during which gxine is unresponsive. | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 You are probably sharing video ram off that 128 | 02:02 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, it's bonded | 02:02 |
| moccuo | how do i install gvim in ubuntu? do i want vim-gtk or vim-gnome? something else? | 02:02 |
| subsume|work | soundray: its a card, oh yeah. sorry. | 02:02 |
| [T]an1 | last seen: says none | 02:02 |
| Zaiden | says something about a backend when I try to edit the files | 02:02 |
| Skyline969 | And it still loaded the Live CD desktop. | 02:02 |
| CaptainMorgan | thanks rampageoberon ;) | 02:02 |
| rampageoberon | np xTOGx | 02:02 |
| === r0bby_ is now known as r0bby | ||
| rampageoberon | moccuo: vim-gnome | 02:03 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, in addition you will need to sudo apt-get install bluez-btsco | 02:03 |
| Fishscene | Hi. I'm working off a live-session CD. How do I mount my external USB drive? | 02:03 |
| [T]an1 | i unbonded it and bonded it again. it sayd bonded successfull. | 02:03 |
| soundray | subsume|work: open a separate terminal and run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog'. In the other terminal, try 'sudo modprobe rt2400pci' | 02:03 |
| Skyline969 | Ha! The Examples icon loaded! Progress... sweet, sweet progress. =P | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 Was it the same version of ubuntu? and how much ram is being diverted from that 128 to be used for video. Did the other machine have onboard video or dedicated card | 02:03 |
| [T]an1 | ok... gonna go get bluez-btsco | 02:03 |
| bullium | Zaiden, hmm maybe a process has them locked or something, has your system been rebooted since you trashed them? | 02:03 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, then sudo modprobe snd-bt-sco | 02:03 |
| [T]an1 | i think i already got it though... | 02:03 |
| [T]an1 | yeah, i did that. | 02:04 |
| soundray | subsume|work: any errors in the tail output? | 02:04 |
| Zaiden | bullium: Yes, more than once | 02:04 |
| HardDisk | it should work then | 02:04 |
| Skyline969 | The other machine had a seperate card. It was the same version of Ubuntu (this exact same CD), and I don't know how much RAM is being diverted to be used for video. | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 with only 128 minimize how much ram is diverted | 02:04 |
| Skyline969 | How, Jack_Sparrow? | 02:04 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, test it in skype | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bios | 02:04 |
| subsume|work | soundray: the first command gave me things, but nothing seemingly related to the hardware.... | 02:05 |
| [T]an1 | never used skype | 02:05 |
| Skyline969 | I don't even know how to access the BIOS setup on this laptop. | 02:05 |
| subsume|work | soundray: and mobprobe isn't found | 02:05 |
| soundray | subsume|work: nothing happened in the tail output when you run the mo*d*probe? | 02:05 |
| Skyline969 | I know it says something about a network service boot by pressing F12.... | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 Something you should investigate | 02:05 |
| Fishscene | How do I mount an external USB drive? | 02:05 |
| Zaiden | When I try to delete the files inside the folder, it gives me a message saying "Not supported by backend" | 02:05 |
| subsume|work | soundray: modprobe, I meant that sorry. | 02:05 |
| [T]an1 | while skype is installing... can i use that with asterisk? | 02:05 |
| altnickname | Normally, Ubuntu will mount your NTFS drive automatically. If it doesn't, it means the logfile for the drive is unclean (which means the drive was not unmounted correctly, i.e. not shut down correctly.) To mount it, there are a few steps you must take. | 02:05 |
| HardDisk | Fishscene, plug it in | 02:06 |
| bullium | Zaiden, can you move them back to the desktop? | 02:06 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: ok so i'm downloading it now, what settings do i choose for teh sun downaloader? | 02:06 |
| subsume|work | soundray: might modprobe not be on my PATH? | 02:06 |
| Skyline969 | I know it's something I should investigate, but I don't even have the documentation for this old thing. It was given to me through my school. | 02:06 |
| Fishscene | HardDisk, it's not mounting, I ftried to force it to mount in the GUI and I got a message saying it's not supposed to show errors in the GUI. (which I found amusing. :P ) | 02:06 |
| HardDisk | [T]an1, I'm not sure, I haven't used asterisk, some applications don't universally work the same, for example Gizmo has some issues with USB microphones, whereas Skype is ok. | 02:06 |
| Zaiden | Yes, and all the files are there | 02:06 |
| soundray | subsume|work: that would be extremely unusual. Did you mistype | 02:06 |
| soundray | ? | 02:06 |
| rampageoberon | altnickname: when mounting ntfs drives make sure if its usb you do safely remove hardware, and shut down windows properly | 02:06 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, choose ubuntu | 02:06 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: makes sense | 02:07 |
| subsume|work | soundray: I swear. 'sudo modprobe ... ' | 02:07 |
| HardDisk | Fishscene, what does dmesg say? | 02:07 |
| xTOGx | the install wouldn't finish the "install software" bit. now that i've got it running, is there any way i can finish that? | 02:07 |
| Fishscene | dmesg? | 02:07 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk: my intent is to use this with a softphone and asterisk. | 02:07 |
| [T]an1 | so hopefully that is the case | 02:07 |
| HardDisk | Fishscene, run it in terminal | 02:07 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: i did and now it's asking me to set a bunch of options and proxies for the sun download manager | 02:07 |
| soundray | subsume|work: it's normally in /sbin/ | 02:07 |
| subsume|work | soundray: found it in sbin | 02:07 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: what do you mean? | 02:08 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, don't use the download manager download it directly. | 02:08 |
| Skyline969 | Jack, do you mind if I direct chat you so we can work through this more quickly? | 02:08 |
| Fishscene | I don't know the device name in terminal. I assumed "/dev/sda1" but it said the device was already mounted on /target | 02:08 |
| soundray | subsume|work: so 'sudo /sbin/modprobe rt2400pci' | 02:08 |
| HardDisk | it's 4am in Egypt a few more minutes and I have to go to bed sorry folks. | 02:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyline969 best to keep it in channel as I am trying to do some other work as well | 02:08 |
| xTOGx | rampageoberon well, i can't get the gui to load. maybe it's not there? | 02:08 |
| Skyline969 | Alright. | 02:08 |
| rogerdpenguin | could someone guide me through the ubuntu installation? | 02:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk Goodnight | 02:08 |
| rampageoberon | I noticed once when i unmounted a usb drive i got a notification its safe to remove hardware, but never seen it after, any ideas? its not critical | 02:08 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 02:09 |
| rogerdpenguin | jack_sparrow: could you guide me through the ubuntu installation? | 02:09 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, not yet :D | 02:09 |
| Skyline969 | Well, I remember seeing something about it being either 2 MB or 8 MB of VRAM when I was checking it in Windows.... | 02:09 |
| altnickname | well i thought I did heck been useing the other harddrive and just put this in there and tuirned it on and thats the message I got how do I fix it | 02:09 |
| HardDisk | rogerdpenguin, www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron | 02:09 |
| subsume|work | sudo modprobe rt2500pci 'FATAL' module rt2500pci not found | 02:09 |
| bullium | rampageoberon, you know how to install software but install the os? | 02:09 |
| subsume|work | soundray: ^ | 02:09 |
| rogerdpenguin | thanks | 02:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rogerdpenguin Just ask your questions someone will answer, I am about to try and eat dinner | 02:09 |
| soundray | rogerdpenguin: the ubuntu installer will guide you | 02:09 |
| rampageoberon | altnickname: boot into windows and shut the drives properly i think | 02:09 |
| rogerdpenguin | ok | 02:09 |
| rogerdpenguin | still | 02:09 |
| soundray | subsume|work: so 'sudo /sbin/modprobe rt2*4*00pci' | 02:09 |
| HardDisk | ok I have to go sorry people for leaving you :D | 02:09 |
| rampageoberon | bullium: sorry what? | 02:10 |
| rogerdpenguin | im a bit unsure about installing and partioning | 02:10 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, it's been a pleasure buddy | 02:10 |
| Skyline969 | See you, HardDisk! | 02:10 |
| HardDisk | salam | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk As always | 02:10 |
| Fishscene | Not a problem, thanks anyway, HardDisk | 02:10 |
| HardDisk | later guys | 02:10 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: is teher anything else i need to know before you go? | 02:10 |
| HardDisk | and remember to support us in #ubuntu-eg :D | 02:10 |
| [T]an1 | HardDisk... thanks | 02:10 |
| subsume|work | soundray: not found | 02:10 |
| xTOGx | rampageoberon do i have to do that with the cd? i think maybe it was the cd was bad, and that's why it didn't go | 02:10 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, uhh....I don't think so | 02:10 |
| bullium | rampageoberon, you said you wanted a guide for the ubuntu installation, but told someone else how to install a package. I wasn't being a jerk just curious | 02:10 |
| soundray | rogerdpenguin: do you want a dual-boot system? | 02:10 |
| soundray | bullium: you're mistaking rampageoberon for rogerdpenguin | 02:11 |
| HardDisk | I'll see you guys tomorrow | 02:11 |
| rampageoberon | bullium: hmm, i didn't say i wanted a guide for an installation? | 02:11 |
| Skyline969 | As I said Jack_Sparrow, it said something on Windows about there being 2 MB or 8 MB of VRAM (don't remember which). Oh, and it's loaded the Install icon now. All it needs to load is the two bars at the top and bottom. | 02:11 |
| bullium | soundray, I just caught that thank you | 02:11 |
| HardDisk | ciao babes | 02:11 |
| Fishscene | How do I view a list of drives? | 02:11 |

| s0| | Ahadiel, what does that mean, I don't care about the control I just want to connect to a WPA network... | 02:19 |
| puff | subsume|work: Nope, gets me invaldi option d | 02:20 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: a mail server handles mail more specifically | 02:20 |
| thingfish | rdz: are these truetype fonts? | 02:20 |
| Observador | \quit | 02:20 |
| soundray | subsume|work: please reboot and choose that kernel from the grub menu. My suspicion is that your wireless will work (even if whatever it was that depended on the -386 kernel probably won't) | 02:20 |
| xTOGx | ok, so what do i tell it? | 02:20 |
| subsume|work | puff: hmm... i forgot | 02:20 |
| Skyline969 | Alright, so the CD has slowed down and the Install and Examples icons have loaded. No top and bottom bars though. Any remedy? | 02:20 |
| tamstreo | no idea... | 02:20 |
| Fishscene | other slash, Observator | 02:20 |
| Kyrin | so, who might be able to help with what looks to be an Xserver problem? | 02:20 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, I have the wpasupplicant package, did you mean a diffrent one? | 02:20 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: nothing, you shouldn't have a mail server installed by default. what are you doing anyway> | 02:20 |
| tamstreo | but does anyone want an IRC client for palm os? | 02:20 |
| subsume|work | soundray: will it default to generic henceforth? | 02:20 |
| xTOGx | gotcha | 02:20 |
| tamstreo | (please kick me I need it for test | 02:20 |
| rampageoberon | CaptainMorgan: did that work? | 02:20 |
| Ahadiel | s0|, Nope. When you try to connect to the network, it *should* prompt you for the key. | 02:20 |
| CaptainMorgan | working on it :) | 02:20 |
| tamstreo | plesse kick me from chan | 02:20 |
| xTOGx | so, if i had my own website...i could use this as the mail server? | 02:21 |
| tamstreo | I am developer of irc cliebt | 02:21 |
| Ubuntu_ID10T | Can someone please help me make sense of my Grub install problem | 02:21 |
| xTOGx | it's just personal use | 02:21 |
| dru | how do i force mount a cd? | 02:21 |
| tamstreo | hmm | 02:21 |
| rdz | thingfish, no, bitmap fonts | 02:21 |
| tamstreo | well then thx anyways | 02:21 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: i suggest first fix the OS and then worry about the servers | 02:21 |
| subsume|work | puff: I can't for the life of me remember. its on the tip of my tongue. | 02:21 |
| xTOGx | lol | 02:21 |
| xTOGx | thanks rama_su | 02:21 |
| subsume|work | puff: well, finger tips. | 02:21 |
| xTOGx | thanks rampageoberon | 02:21 |
| soundray | subsume|work: no, you have to change the 'default' line at the top of /boot/grub/menu.lst to achieve that (it starts counting at 0). | 02:21 |
| jimcooncat | xTOGx: whether or not you have a website you can have a mail server | 02:21 |
| rdz | thingfish, i am desperately trying to manually install the artwiz fonts with no luck | 02:21 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, it asks me to tell it what kind of key I am giving it, and none of the option are right | 02:21 |
| Droose | got a quick question in regards to program launching(or lack there of) | 02:21 |
| xTOGx | cool | 02:21 |
| rdz | thingfish, it was so damn dead easy on dapper... | 02:21 |
| Ahadiel | s0|, Are you sure? What option are you looking for? | 02:21 |
| jimcooncat | xTOGx: just get a domain name | 02:22 |
| CaptainMorgan | rampageoberon, actually.. theoretically, that should work... I'll know in a moment | 02:22 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, any WPA preshared key would be a nice ********'ing sign | 02:22 |
| Ubuntu_ID10T | I got a virus on my Windows XP partition (big surprise), so I re-installed XP fresh. Unfortunately it overwrote the MBR with GRUB and now I can't get to my Ubuntu. | 02:22 |
| rampageoberon | CaptainMorgan: goodluck | 02:22 |
| rdz | thingfish, they removed the package from the harddy repository and i wanted to install them manually... but they simply don't show up in xfontsel | 02:22 |
| danbhfive | !fixgrub > Ubuntu_ID10T | 02:22 |
| rampageoberon | Ubuntu_ID10T: bootup with a ubuntu live cd and reinstall grub i think | 02:22 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, when I click the network I want to connect to it asks me what kind of security it is using and there are Three WEP options and LEAP | 02:23 |
| Kyrin | Ubuntu_ID10T: grub-install ? | 02:23 |
| Chaotic_Descent | someone told me how to mount a vfat USB drive, but do I need to unmount them? it's not letting me unmount the drive on my desktop, and I can't find an unmount command or option under mount command. | 02:23 |
| Ahadiel | s0|, Are you *positive* you have wpa_supplicant installed? If so, try rebooting. | 02:23 |
| fale_ | hello | 02:23 |
| Fishscene | Chaotic, umount? | 02:23 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: it's called umount | 02:23 |
| rampageoberon | ChaosTheory_: open file manager (Computer) and unmount there | 02:23 |
| thingfish | rdz: truetype fonts work when dropped into ~/.fonts...that's as far as my knowledge goes | 02:23 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, the package is called wpasupplicant | 02:23 |
| Chaotic_Descent | thanks. why umount and not unmount? | 02:23 |
| Ubuntu_ID10T | Trying the grub-install thing except with the live cd booted up, it doesn't recognize "hd(0,0)" or (/dev/sda) for a target. | 02:23 |
| Fishscene | Chaotic_Descent: , I haven't the slightest clue :P | 02:24 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, there is not underscore | 02:24 |
| rampageoberon | Chaotic_Descent: open file manager (Computer) and unmount there | 02:24 |
| Droose | I just re-formatted and threw on Ubuntu. After the updates and the restarts that go along with it, for some reason my firefox doest ever launch. I've tried to reinstall it, yet still the same thing. No debug info comes up, and nothing pops up in syslog | 02:24 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: why not? | 02:24 |
| Ahadiel | s0|, Well, okay then. I have no idea. | 02:24 |
| rampageoberon | Chaotic_Descent: umount is the command not unmount | 02:24 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: linguistically, it should be 'dismount' | 02:24 |
| s0| | ********* ubuntu still sucking | 02:24 |
| subsume|work | soundray: I've never understood the selection grub makes. what are those? kernel versions? | 02:24 |
| Ahadiel | s0|, Not really. WPA works fine for me. All I had to install was wpa supplicant. | 02:24 |
| thingfish | s0|: yes, still sucking less than any other operating system out there | 02:25 |
| Kyrin | Anyone around who might be able to help with what looks to be an Xserver problem on Hardy Heron? | 02:25 |
| s0| | Ahadiel, well arn't you special | 02:25 |
| soundray | subsume|work: yes | 02:25 |
| danbhfive | Ubuntu_ID10T: i think its hd(0) for the first target | 02:25 |
| rampageoberon | CaptainMorgan: i think you might need to restart sshd, not sure though | 02:25 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I can't unmount it in the file manager. | 02:25 |
| mneptok | s0|: please relax. | 02:25 |
| rampageoberon | !fixgrub | 02:25 |
| 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 | 02:25 |
| CaptainMorgan | rampageoberon, worked! thanks! :) | 02:25 |
| rampageoberon | CaptainMorgan: cool, well done | 02:25 |
| Chaotic_Descent | it won't let me. it says it can't mount it when I try to unmount it for some reason. probably because it's still hung up on it not being ntfs. | 02:25 |
| s0| | mneptok, I'd fix the bugger if I knew how. (that that this should be something I need to edit and fix things to get........) | 02:25 |
| mneptok | s0|: that doesn't excuse the attitude | 02:26 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I tried umount. it won't work. it says it disagrees with the fstab. | 02:26 |
| sapph424 | How's this look for a partitions for a 200GB drive? /boot 8MB; / 50 GB; /usr 100GB; swap 1GB; /home 47GB; /tmp 5GB | 02:26 |
| crytel_ | have you tried to force it? | 02:27 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: what's the full command line you are using? | 02:27 |
| mneptok | s0|: if your wifi chipset is supported, there's nothing to install. you just connect to the access point. | 02:27 |
| sapph424 | Everything as ext3 other than swap, obviously. | 02:27 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I just tried umount /dev/sdb1 | 02:27 |
| mneptok | sapph424: 8MB for /boot?! | 02:27 |
| Ahadiel | sapph424, /boot should be a MINIMUM of 100mb | 02:27 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: try 'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' | 02:27 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why does umount -h not work? | 02:27 |
| s0| | mneptok, the problem is when I attempt to connect to the access point it wants to know what kind of security is being used, and to provide credentials. the available options are not there. | 02:28 |
| mneptok | sapph424: why are you breaking /usr and /tmp off? | 02:28 |
| s0| | *not the correct ones = not there | 02:28 |
| Ahadiel | Chaotic_Descent, try umount --help? | 02:28 |
| crytel_ | try "sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1" | 02:28 |
| Ahadiel | Chaotic_Descent, or man umount | 02:28 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: stop asking philosophical questions ;) | 02:28 |
| sapph424 | That's good info :D I was basing it off guides for grub partitions that said they only need to be 1MB, so I was guessing. Clearly. | 02:28 |
| mneptok | s0|: what encryption schema does your AP use? | 02:28 |
| s0| | mneptok, wpa (well wpa2) with TKIP+AES | 02:28 |
| altnickname | is there such a thing as ntfsfix? | 02:29 |
| tomcat | 这里有用gentoo的吗？ | 02:29 |
| sapph424 | mneptok: I have no idea. I am doing my best to remember verbal instructions given to me earlier today. My only experience is with Windows, so much of this is new to me. | 02:29 |
| soundray | crytel_: please don't recommend force umounting when it's not entirely clear what the problem is. | 02:29 |
| danbhfive | sapph424: did you say its all ext3? | 02:29 |
| Ubuntu_ID10T | ubottu: That seems to be doing the trick. It was "hd(3,1)". If someone knows the GRUB developers, thank them for their contribution and then ask them to add a little more user friendliness to the next version. THANKS UBOTTU and others!!! | 02:29 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu_ID10T: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:29 |
| s0| | mneptok, there are zero WPA options being listed. theree WEP and one LEAP (if you count that as WPA is another thing) | 02:29 |
| sapph424 | dan: I did. Other than swap. | 02:29 |
| danbhfive | sapph424: ok, so Im curious, why a separate /boot? | 02:30 |
| mneptok | s0|: WPA-PSK | 02:30 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... how do I get out of that man mode? T_T why does Ubuntu continually confound me? | 02:30 |
| Ubuntu_ID10T | Aren't we all just bots. Don't sell yourself short ;) | 02:30 |
| s0| | mneptok, that option is not listed | 02:30 |
| mneptok | s0|: what release of Ubuntu? | 02:30 |
| Starnestommy | Chaotic_Descent: q? | 02:30 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ah, q. whew. | 02:30 |
| soundray | Ubuntu_ID10T: not all developers share the value of userfriendliness | 02:30 |
| * ChunkyKs reads up a bit | 02:31 | |
| ChunkyKs | "Ahadiel: sapph424, /boot should be a MINIMUM of 100mb" | 02:31 |
| mneptok | s0|: does your wireless chipset support WPA(2)? | 02:31 |
| sapph424 | dan: Due to endless problems with grub getting installed, part of today's troubleshooting du jour is a dedicated grub partition. | 02:31 |
| s0| | mneptok, I would have used it is I could ---- and am using 8.04 | 02:31 |
| ChunkyKs | I think it's worth noting that the *entire* point of /boot is that some bioses couldn't read above 16M | 02:31 |
| RULR | my movie quality is bad, even in vlc. i watched same movie in windows (gom player), everything was ok. whats wrong? do i need some codecs? | 02:31 |
| Kyrin | Anyone around who might be able to help with what looks to be an Xserver problem on Hardy Heron? | 02:31 |
| ChunkyKs | So /boot should be a MAXIMUM of 16M, if you bother with it at all | 02:31 |
| Droose | Still looking for help with programs failing to load if anyone is able to show me where I've screwed up | 02:31 |
| s0| | mneptok, it works find with the AP in "other less superior" operating systesms | 02:31 |
| Chaotic_Descent | someone had to give me a command to mount this damned USB drive, and now I can't eject it. | 02:31 |
| mneptok | s0|: it's has always been an option on my 3945 and 4965 chipsets | 02:31 |
| mneptok | *it has | 02:31 |
| soundray | subsume|work: can I leave you to it? | 02:32 |
| rampageoberon | !ask | Kyrin | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Kyrin: 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. :-) | 02:32 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: don't get frustrated. Share the error messages. Use the pastebin | 02:32 |
| altnickname | wheres a place with one on one help | 02:32 |
| ChunkyKs | Chaotic_Descent: try fuser /path/to/mounted/filesystem | 02:32 |
| * JoaoVr Boas | 02:32 | |
| soundray | !paste | Chaotic_Descent | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Chaotic_Descent: 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) | 02:32 |
| crytel_ | RULR: you sure your video card is conf correctly? | 02:32 |
| sapph424 | Okay, so should it be a max of 16MB or a min of 100MB? | 02:32 |
| s0| | mneptok, so basically even tho I know that card can do it, I am basically out of luck since it didn't just work. | 02:32 |
| ChunkyKs | it'll show you which processes are eating memory | 02:32 |
| mneptok | s0|: WPA and WPA2 work, with PSK, TKIP/AES, or LEAP. either your chipset does not support it, the driver you are using for your chipset does not support it, or you have broken something in trying to configure it. | 02:33 |
| mneptok | s0|: try a live session | 02:33 |
| ChunkyKs | sapph: if you're running into problems because your bios is braindamaged [or old], you need maximum 16M | 02:33 |
| Kyrin | rampageoberon: I did, and got no answer, so rather than flood with a rather lengthy detail of the problem, I figured I'd ask if there was anyone available to help with my particular issue | 02:33 |
| ChunkyKs | on any modern bios, you don't need /boot at all | 02:33 |
| mneptok | s0|: what chipset is this? | 02:33 |
| clop | hi, i upgraded to the new ubuntu and now my firefox opens torrents in "transmission" instead of gnome-btdownload, and it doeesn't seem to work... is there a way to reset that to gnome-btdownload instead? | 02:33 |
| soundray | Chaotic_Descent: hint: if something is still using the mounted device (even just a shell sitting in a directory on it), it won't unmount | 02:33 |
| RULR | crytel_: no, i am on laptop. do i need some drivers? it didnt ask me to install it at all | 02:33 |
| subsume | soundray: I imagine so. yeah. thanks | 02:33 |
| s0| | mneptok, live session is same reslut | 02:33 |
| mneptok | ChunkyKs: you need a LOT^ more than 16MB for /boot | 02:33 |
| rampageoberon | Kyrin: it really depends on who is reading at that point, try the forums too | 02:33 |
| ChunkyKs | Chaotic_Descent: as soundray says, if you have a shell cd'd into it, you won't be able to unmount | 02:33 |
| soundray | subsume: so you haven't rebooted yet? | 02:33 |
| Kyrin | I've been running 8.04 for about a week now without problems, the system was running fine earlier today, I shut it down, removed a pair of 1GB PC-5300 sticks of RAM, replacing them with a pair of 2GB PC-5300 sticks. Now when I boot up, X has the colors all wrong, like there's a palette shift going on. Also, the mouse seems somewhat jittery, like, it's moving, but then kind of freezes, then it will move again. | 02:33 |
| sapph424 | I don't think my BIOS is the problem. Although that would be a good troubleshooting point next. No, the issue is that the ubuntu installer hangs when ., . . oh hell, just read the thread if you are interested: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824521 ;p | 02:34 |
| Kyrin | I'd try the forums if I had a working gui handy | 02:34 |
| rampageoberon | Kyrin: instead of flooding i'm sure you could ask the same question every 30mins or so | 02:34 |
| ChunkyKs | mneptok: the purpose of /boot is for bioses that can't read above 16M. By putting a kernel there, you garauntee the bios/lilo/etc can read it | 02:34 |
| crytel_ | RULR, that would be my guess about the video becaue vlc seems to work fine on an older laptop with ubuntu to me | 02:34 |
| rampageoberon | Kyrin: try sing elinks or links2 to use the forums | 02:34 |
| ChunkyKs | if you have a bios/bootloader/whatever that understands >16M, then you don't need a boot partition at all | 02:34 |
| mneptok | ChunkyKs: /boot has other purposes. /boot is also where Ubuntu stores the kernel. each kernel is >50MB. | 02:34 |
| mneptok | ChunkyKs: you do the math ;) | 02:34 |
| Kyrin | yeah, I have elinks, but most forums aren't txt friendly... | 02:34 |
| zedster_ | hi, all my alt+fx keys work, but I can't get the run window up alt+f2, tried to remap it and that failed | 02:35 |
| soundray | Kyrin: what's the resolution of your monitor? | 02:35 |
| darthmarth37 | I see instructions for mirroring just isos and instructions for mirroring the entire apt repo. Are there instructions anywhere for mirroring just one architecture? | 02:35 |
| Kyrin | 1680x1050 | 02:35 |
| s0| | mneptok, the silly thing is when I go to the network settings and hit property on the wireless connection it lists WPA-personal and such | 02:35 |
| mneptok | s0|: what chipset is this? | 02:35 |
| ChunkyKs | uh | 02:35 |
| ChunkyKs | well | 02:35 |
| ChunkyKs | for a start, ubuntu kernels aren't 50M | 02:35 |
| Chaotic_Descent | well, I managed to force unmount, but now it lists an unmountable USB card reader on my computer listing. I wonder if it's safe to unplug it now. you know, I didn't know you were supposed to "eject" USB drives for the longest time while I was using them. | 02:35 |
| ChunkyKs | They're 2M | 02:35 |
| RULR | crytel_: ok how should i check my driveres | 02:35 |
| eross | if i go and download/compile/install the latest bzip2, then the repo shows up with an update to the latest bzip2, will that break my packaging? | 02:35 |
| rampageoberon | its a bit of a pain in elinks, but i know it works Kyrin worth a try | 02:35 |
| ChunkyKs | with 50M of modules | 02:35 |
| FloodBot1 | ChunkyKs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:35 |
| s0| | mneptok, I can look it up again. | 02:35 |
| Fishscene | WPA-Enterprise usually uses a RADIUS server for authentications | 02:35 |
| Sanketsu | Alright, I'm back with a new question, on my laptop this time. I've got a Garmin nuvi 350 and want to use it with my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) for some wardriving. I want to make a map of my local area's wifi activity, but I can't figure out how to get it connected how it needs to be. | 02:36 |
| candive | Kyrin, sounds like bad ram | 02:36 |
| s0| | mneptok, it's a texas intrstaments chip set IIRC | 02:36 |
| sapph424 | Can I set nested mount points? For instance have a partition mounted to /boot and another mounted to /boot/grub ? | 02:36 |
| ChunkyKs | But really. If you're suggesting a 100M boot partition, then you should actually be suggesting no boot partition at all. I *know* /boot is where the kernel is stored, that's the whole point | 02:36 |
| darthmarth37 | sapph424: Yes. | 02:36 |
| Kyrin | candive: I guess I should use the built in memtest on it... i hate memtest on 4GB of ram... | 02:36 |
| Kyrin | might as well try though I guess | 02:36 |
| soundray | Kyrin: just set it to run overnight | 02:37 |
| Chaotic_Descent | well thanks for the help. I'm going to run now. | 02:37 |
| sapph424 | My instructions weren't clear on how/where I should make the dedicated grub partition | 02:37 |
| darthmarth37 | sapph424: Otherwise you couldn't mount anything else once you mount / | 02:37 |
| moshe | try memtest on 8 gig | 02:37 |
| sapph424 | So I'm fumbling in the dark, and this hairly thing feels like a grue . . . | 02:37 |
| candive | Kyrin did you try switching ram back | 02:37 |

| mneptok | ChunkyKs: (which is another reason for a separate /boot, and the need to keep it >100MB) | 02:38 |
| eross | heh, mac address filtering is best defense against wardriving | 02:38 |
| Kyrin | candive: I will do that next, have to go for a drive to get it back from someone else I gave it to =/ | 02:38 |

| Dasmoover | anyone help? :( | 02:46 |
| danbhfive | sapph424: I looked at the link you sent. That person was not suggesting making a separate partition for /boot/grub. He suggested installing grub to a separate partition, ie not the MBR I believe | 02:46 |
| sapph424 | dan: Understood. So /boot would be sufficient? | 02:46 |
| wushin | So anyone else looked into postpath? http://www.postpath.com/ | 02:47 |
| darthmarth37 | sapph424: Should be. You would just need to install the bootloader on the /boot partition as opposed to the MBR. I presume the installer has that option. | 02:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | what's that? | 02:47 |
| sapph424 | darth: I sure as hell hope so ;p | 02:47 |
| wushin | postfix that works as an exchange server with all the exchange features | 02:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | sapph424: you may end up with two Grubs basically the one that is part of the Ubuntu install and your one on your Grub partition | 02:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | and then like me, you may have it updating the wrong menu.lst when you install a new kernel and so have to do those changes manualley | 02:48 |
| danbhfive | sapph424: well, I suppose. I have no idea about separate /boots, but it looks like there is no need for a /boot/grub : ) | 02:48 |

Whenever I install it, after booting up all I get is a blinking cursor. This is with a wubi install. If I try to install the full version (gutsy and hardy) then I also get the blinking cursor, before I can even install it. What steps might I take to determ | 03:07 |
| dmsuperman_ | ine and fix the problem? | 03:07 |

| lgc | josh, first thing is to join #kubuntu ;). | 03:08 |
| awmcclain | I need to restrict access to a port to a list of IP addresses (all within the same domain). What's the simplest method to implement that, which allows me to change the list of allowed machines very, very easily? | 03:08 |

| uzair | hi guys, does anyone know why aptitude keeps telling me to use "safe-upgrade" instead of upgrade?? | 03:09 |
| darthmarth37 | josh: Something like chown -R josh /home/josh/ | 03:09 |

| uzair | lol, is that it? | 03:09 |
| dmsuperman_ | unavailable, I highly doubt it, since it's an extension and not an application, and runs with the firefox codebase | 03:09 |
| darthmarth37 | uzair: Honestly, I'm not sure. I just couldn't resist the joke. | 03:10 |
| uzair | Lol. I hear ya | 03:10 |
| unavailable | but im able to run it after firefox is closed | 03:10 |
| unavailable | like i open firefox, then chatzilla then close firefox | 03:10 |
| dmsuperman_ | unavailable, you close the window, but technically firefox is still running | 03:10 |
| nickrud | uzair they changed the names for some reason. Probably can find a rationale on debian-devel somewhere | 03:10 |

| dmsuperman_ | unavailable, in windows at least, when I close the window but chatzilla is still open, the firefox.exe process continues to run | 03:11 |
| Miesco | Whats the difference between 'claws mail' and 'sylpheed' why are they so similar? | 03:11 |
| josh | Ok im going to restart X | 03:11 |
| josh | I did usermod -u 1003 josh | 03:11 |
| josh | then everything kind of broke | 03:12 |
| dmsuperman_ | So does nobody have any suggestions on how to fix the "blinking cursor upon boot" for ubuntu? | 03:12 |

| josh | so i went to console (Ctrl + Alt + F1 | 03:12 |
| dmsuperman_ | josh, somebody already told you that you needed to change the permissions to match | 03:12 |
| nickrud | PullMyFinge iirc gnome-display-properties makes a change to gconf , and some gnome daemon triggers an xrandr event. If you figure out what start (gnome-settings-daemon?) it should work | 03:12 |

| nickrud | uzair you're welcome, with the other 1200+ ;) | 03:13 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Hey Nickrud | 03:13 |
| ireland | Jack_Sparrow: Plez use discretion in banning people; a few hrs ago you baned me for my nick. I support keeping #ubuntu clean, but I hadn't nor was planing to use this channel with that nick. my sis uses that nick on another freenode channel. | 03:14 |
| brandan_ | Hello...May someone help me to get my screen resolution to 1280 x 1024 ? Thank u | 03:14 |
| linuxology | is this the best way to uninstall something sudo apt-get remove purge <program name> | 03:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ireland PM me please | 03:14 |
| chattan | What ubuntu 8.04.1 ? would u tell me ? | 03:14 |
| hoban | looking for a spellchecker that is customizable, and works with modified xml. a CLI would be best. suggestions? | 03:14 |
| eross | brandan_ pls explain, what's your problem? | 03:15 |
| chattan | What's ubuntu 8.04.1 ? | 03:15 |
| nickrud | linuxology that works well, except it's --purge . the --purge makes sure the configuration files in /etc are removed as well | 03:15 |
| brandan_ | I enabled restricted drivers, and I have "nvidia-settings" but I can't get pasted 800x600 res | 03:15 |
| chattan | !ubuntu 8.04.1 | 03:15 |
| ubottu | Factoid ubuntu 8.04.1 not found | 03:15 |
| linuxology | nickrud: thx for the help | 03:16 |
| subsume | I can't for the life of me figure out how to make my ubuntu machine keep its wifi settings upon startup | 03:16 |
| brandan_ | passed* | 03:16 |
| nickrud | chattan 8.04.1 is a bug fix release; it brings the cd up to date to the current release so people don't have to download a bunch of stuff from the net for each install. (think sp1 without the downside) | 03:16 |
| Jessica | hi folks, anyone know how I can get x11vnc to load as a service so I can login from a vnc client? I've only been able to get it to run in an already logged on session. | 03:16 |
| eross | brandan - boot into recovery mode of your latest kernel, then select Try to Fix xorg screen, think it's the fourth option | 03:17 |
| sakuramboo | congratulations, ubuntu just converted a long time fedora user :D | 03:17 |
| eross | then after it does it's thing, select boot as normal | 03:17 |
| prologi1 | How do I start compiz automatically when I login ? | 03:17 |
| Darlok_Williams | Could someone please recommend a good telnet client with full ANSI support (GUI or terminal is fine)? | 03:17 |
| nickrud | Jessica you could try adding it to system->prefs->sessions startup tab (haven't tried it myself, but it's the first thing I'd do) | 03:17 |
| lgc | ireland, mind Jack_Sparrow, for he won't let one pass by his strict morals...:). | 03:17 |
| chattan | nickrud: Thanks. it likes windows's sp1,is that right? | 03:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lgc THis does not concern you .. thanks | 03:17 |
| brandan_ | eross: you mean boot from my Ubuntu disc? | 03:17 |
| Jessica | nick, wont that only start it -after- i start a session? | 03:18 |
| nickrud | chattan sorta | 03:18 |
| SunJay | hi i am having trouble with getting my laptops audio to work in *.04 | 03:18 |
| eross | brandan - boot from grub menu | 03:18 |
| SunJay | 8.04 | 03:18 |
| eross | should be a recover option | 03:18 |
| brandan_ | eross: forgive me im a linux b00b...how do i do this? | 03:18 |
| brandan_ | eross: lol n00b sorry | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lgc for the record, they logged on with a very offensive nick, and did not respond when asked to change it... | 03:18 |
| eross | shut down - restart | 03:18 |
| nickrud | Jessica ah, I see what you mean. Yes, you have to have a running desktop for vnc to work iirc. Not enough experience to say much more, sorry | 03:18 |
| Jessica | ok | 03:19 |
| lgc | Jack_Sparrow, not this time around, indeed. But many times before... | 03:19 |
| eross | when it comes up, use arrow keys to move up or down your grub menu | 03:19 |
| Jessica | anyone else? | 03:19 |
| brandan_ | eross: and pick ? | 03:19 |
| eross | the one on top is your default login, the one under it should say recovery or something | 03:19 |
| lgc | Jack_Sparrow, "offensive" is a very subjective word... | 03:19 |
| chattan | nickrud: I see, thanks u so much! | 03:19 |
| eross | yes, pick recovery, it will come up with a screen with 4 options, select try to fix xorg screen | 03:19 |
| eross | then boot as normal, it worked for me | 03:20 |

| ubottu | SunJay: 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. | 03:21 |
| dyf | piros: well, i restarted X.. i had to include both lines in xorg.conf so that it works | 03:21 |
| troxor | Jessica: I believe vino and krfb already do that | 03:22 |
| Dasmoover | hello, how would i find where my audio card is? /dev/sda? im trying to make it work in virtual machine | 03:22 |
| SunJay | I did ask my question in the channel | 03:22 |
| dyf | piros: but it works great now.. see? أهلا بيك حبيبي | 03:22 |
| CheFKocH | Abend | 03:22 |
| Jessica | troxor: are those users in here? | 03:22 |
| nickrud | I think vino also requires a running desktop | 03:22 |
| troxor | Jessica: er, those are the programs ;) | 03:22 |
| Jessica | hehe | 03:22 |
| subsume | where do my apt sources live? | 03:23 |
| nickrud | subsume /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:23 |
| Jessica | krfb? is that a frontend tool for x11vnc? | 03:23 |
| jim-Dandy | Hi! If I install ubuntu-server to an usb stick, how do I transfer it to an internal hard drive--'cp -r /* /mnt/disk' ? | 03:23 |
| dmsuperman_ | So does nobody have any suggestions on how to fix the "blinking cursor upon boot" for ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| brandan_ | I did what you said, I still cannot get past this resolution | 03:23 |
| nickrud | subsume but system->admin->software sources is a very good frontend (thought I'd never say that about any gui) | 03:23 |
| troxor | subsume: /etc/apt/sources* | 03:24 |
| brandan_ | it saved a file someplace | 03:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dmsuperman_ does ctrl-alt-F2 bring up a cli | 03:24 |
| dmsuperman_ | no, nothing boots past the wubi boot menu | 03:24 |
| troxor | Jessica: it's a KDE vnc-compatible server thingy | 03:24 |
| eross | brandan - sorry, that's as far as i know, ask again and be specific with your problem, maybe someone can help | 03:24 |
| dmsuperman_ | it just shows the black screen and blinking cursor | 03:24 |
| troxor | Jessica: it's called desktop sharing or somesuch, in kcontrol | 03:24 |
| Darlok_Williams | Could someone please recommend a good telnet client with full ANSI support (GUI or terminal is fine)? | 03:24 |
| subsume | nickrud: well I'm having trouble updating. its giving me a sources error | 03:25 |
| hoban | looking for a spellchecker that is customizable, and works with modified xml. a CLI would be best. suggestions? | 03:25 |
| ChunkyKs | for windows? putty | 03:25 |
| troxor | Darlok_Williams: nc -v <host> 23 ;) | 03:25 |
| nickrud | subsume run sudo apt-get update , you'll usually get a decent error message | 03:25 |
| ChunkyKs | Darlok_Williams: that was to you | 03:25 |
| piros | have you seen boot.ini? | 03:25 |
| Jessica | troxor: I'm using gnome. vino says it's a gnome tool, but the other guy said it also needed a running session. do you know differently? | 03:25 |
| wols | Darlok_Williams: why telnet? | 03:25 |
| keithclark | hey, what's going on? | 03:25 |
| troxor | Jessica: right, it does | 03:25 |
| nickrud | subsume if it's confusing, put the output on paste.ubuntu.com | 03:25 |
| Darlok_Williams | ChunkyKs: Why would I want a Windows client? | 03:25 |
| Jessica | fudge. | 03:25 |
| Darlok_Williams | wols: To telnet into BBSes | 03:26 |
| brandan_ | I can't get passed 800x600 resolution, I enabled restricted drivers...Also I picked recovery mode to try and reconfigure it and it did some sort of auto detect and saved a file, then I continued booting..Still can't get passed it | 03:26 |
| wols | Darlok_Williams: why would you want a telnet client | 03:26 |
| ChunkyKs | well, I was assuming you weren't asking for a linux telnet client, since you can just type "telnet" and you're fine | 03:26 |
| piros | no for the person that had problems with wuby | 03:26 |
| nickrud | doesn't the vnc protocol _require_ a running desktop? | 03:26 |
| wols | Darlok_Williams: telnet | 03:26 |
| subsume | my error is "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-propcess gzip returned an error code (1) | 03:26 |

| dhude | hi | 03:26 |

| nickrud | wols Jessica is trying to set one up, do you have a pointer by any chance? | 03:27 |
| brandan_ | if any help, i really appreciate it...I am willing to do what i can to fix this | 03:27 |
| Jessica | nickrud: pointer? huh?\ | 03:27 |
| nickrud | subsume hm, do sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* , and try again. | 03:27 |

| wols | Dasmoover: lspci. /dev/snd/... | 03:29 |
| troxor | brandan_: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 03:29 |
| uzair | Oh man, I just got introduced to the "Paste Bin". Man that's cool! Should have had something like that 8 years ago when I used to be on IRC | 03:29 |
| brandan_ | troxor: being a total linux newbie, how can I do this? | 03:30 |
| grim76 | Jessica: you might look into freenx also. Runs over SSH. | 03:30 |
| Darlok_Williams | wols: telnet doesn't properly display extended ASCII characters. | 03:30 |

| Darlok_Williams | wols: I don't know what that means. | 03:30 |
| Dasmoover | where can i find where its mounted? | 03:30 |
| troxor | brandan_: brandan_ what uzair said ;) | 03:30 |
| wols | Dasmoover: it's not mounted ever | 03:30 |
| Dasmoover | i mean where is it | 03:31 |
| Jessica | grim76: ty. i'll look into it | 03:31 |
| Dasmoover | so i can put it in my virtual machine | 03:31 |
| power2theplankto | When I render a microsoft avi in cinelerra it produces an avi file that does not work | 03:31 |
| wols | Dasmoover: first you load the driver for it and configure it. THEN you look for its device file | 03:31 |
| brandan_ | yes but how do I view, "/etc/X11/xorg.con" ? | 03:31 |
| wols | !doesn't work | 03:31 |
| ubottu | 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. | 03:31 |
| Dasmoover | no, its working | 03:31 |

| troxor | Dasmoover: what virtualization program? | 03:32 |
| === Rtiy is now known as WarrenStorm | ||
| grim76 | uzair: weechat is another solid choice. | 03:32 |
| wols | subsume: gnome-netowkr-manager or /etc/network/interfaces | 03:32 |
| Dasmoover | parellels | 03:32 |
| uzair | irssi is number 1 choice? | 03:32 |
| grim76 | uzair: Kind of a preference thing. I would try both to see which one you like more. | 03:32 |
| wols | *gnome-network-manager | 03:32 |
| brandan_ | ok. is this right? | 03:32 |
| brandan_ | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19183/ | 03:32 |

| gandhi_ | anyone there could help me with codecs for Totem movie player? need the ones for xvid and divx | 03:48 |
| troxor | brandan_: in the new one, type `X :2.0` this will open up another graphical session, to test your configuration. it's going to be just black and white with an X cursor, and that's it... if the resolution looks OK, hit ctrl+alt+backspace to kill it, and get back to your normal login. hopefully nothing will go wrong there ;) | 03:48 |

| wols | spencer_: somewhere you have apt already running | 04:14 |
| puff | Okay, so I booted up a hardy live CD, clicked on the "install" icon on the desktop, selected manual partitioning, assigned the existing /root to root and checked the "format partition" checkbox, assigned existing /home, /swap and the 30GB spare /data partition, and clicked go.

| subsume | Is dpkg-reconfigure -a the same as dpkg --configure -a? | 04:16 |
| brandan_ | troxor: ok i used sudo and this happened. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19192/ | 04:16 |
| wols | Kalamansi: have a some free, unpartitioned space | 04:16 |
| uzair | puff: I'd have a fire extinguisher close by if I were you | 04:16 |

| jebus | How do i convert .vob files to .mpeg | 04:17 |
| wols | !dvd | jebus | 04:17 |
| ubottu | jebus: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 04:17 |
| SebNaitsabes | kulasmansi: to do a dual boot you must make the XP partition smaller or put Ubuntu on another hard disk. or install Ubuntu inside WIndows with Wubi | 04:17 |
| sparky | The first one, it should create a second partition. make sure you DON'T select the guided entire disk | 04:17 |
| uzair | try googling: ffmeg | 04:17 |
| troxor | brandan_: can you pastebin the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 04:17 |

| sparky | So spencer_ you have any idea? :/ | 04:18 |

| Divinewind | tahz | 04:44 |
| Wulfie_lappy | you know one of the main reasons I switched from Debian to Ubuntu years ago was the simple politeness of the folks in this chanel | 04:44 |
| Ashex | I just did some searching on suns website and found the hardy amd64 build of virtualbox 1.6.2 | 04:44 |
| Wulfie_lappy | guess its gone the way of debian | 04:44 |

| rafael | Please, i am desperate. No way tor escue my partitions?? | 04:45 |
| wols | Bodsda: have you fixed your grub problem? | 04:45 |
| Bodsda | wols, yeah and guess what,.,.without those links | 04:45 |
| brandan_ | troxor: ok that's done. | 04:46 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, it should have given you a link? | 04:46 |
| wols | Bodsda: and what was it? | 04:46 |
| Bodsda | wols, what was what? | 04:46 |
| === c is now known as Chari2 | ||
| brandan_ | yes | 04:46 |
| wols | the problem's solution | 04:46 |
| brandan_ | Bodsda: http://pastebin.com/f613978b3 | 04:46 |
| rampageoberon | rafael: whats the problem? | 04:46 |
| Bodsda | wols, to create udev rules to stop drives reordering themselves then fixing the device.map | 04:47 |
| rafael | I can't find my encrypted partitions with luks anymore. I can only boot to livecd and I get from vgscan no volume group found | 04:47 |
| Bodsda | troxor, your xorg filenames are at the bottom ;~) -- http://pastebin.com/f613978b3 | 04:47 |
| rafael | I had a brokem installation, booted at Livecd, then chrooted and tryed to fixed it | 04:47 |

| rafael | anyone? | 04:48 |
| troxor | Bodsda: cool, this pastebinit thing is ;) | 04:48 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, no worries dude,,. do you understand what that command did? | 04:48 |
| brandan_ | Bodsda: Im a linux n00b so sorry, not really | 04:48 |
| Bodsda | troxor, yeah and try this,.,,. cat /var/log/someXorgFileHere | pastebinit | 04:48 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, want me to explain it for you? | 04:48 |
| brandan_ | Bodsda: sure | 04:49 |
| ummm | I just want to say Ubuntu is a great system and i love it a lot. It meets all of my needs :) | 04:50 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, the sudo apt-get install pastebinit just installed a small program that automatically puts things online for others to error check, the second bit ls -lah /var/log searched your var/log file and the | pastebinit put whatever ls -lah found onto the web | 04:50 |
| Bodsda | ummm, good to hear it ;~) | 04:50 |
| rafael | man, i am lost | 04:50 |
| brandan_ | Bodsda: how can you help me get my resolution with this? | 04:50 |
| troxor | rafael: what's in your filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf ? | 04:51 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, well i dont know the whole problem nor how to fix, but troxor was having problems finding the name of your Xorg files and the command i gave you helped him find the filenames | 04:51 |
| mrglinux | if you see here http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/hardy/modem-drivers/hsf/ there are driver for x86_64 but why didn't make x86_64 in .deb package ?? arvind_khadri | 04:51 |
| brandan_ | Bodsda: ok, i see | 04:51 |
| troxor | brandan_: yep, pastebinit is just a convenience that saves you the trouble of copy/pasting over and over | 04:51 |
| htmljunkie | Ubuntu isn't bad but I think it doesn't teach people linux properly like Slackware does | 04:52 |
| brandan_ | troxor: does it always auto pastebin all my information ? | 04:52 |
| rafael | # By default we accept every block device: | 04:52 |
| rafael | filter = [ "a/.*/" ] | 04:52 |
| rafael | # Exclude the cdrom drive | 04:52 |
| rafael | # filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" ] | 04:52 |
| dmb | htmljunkie, the only thing that teaches people linux is LFS | 04:52 |
| FloodBot1 | rafael: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:52 |
| rafael | it worked on last boot | 04:52 |
| error404notfound | This might not be related to channel topic. Can anyone tell me a good mobile phone emulator on ubuntu in which I can test a couple of .mobi sites? | 04:52 |
| dmb | they all have installers that install everything for you | 04:52 |
| Bodsda | htmljunkie, ubuntu = 'linux for human beings' nnot 'linux for people who want to learn how to code an os' but i agree it could teach a bit more rather then being so 'automated' | 04:52 |
| troxor | brandan_: from the output, we see that Xorg.3.0.log was the right file to look at -> so, sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.3.0.log | pastebinit | 04:52 |
| Bodsda | troxor, i believe you dont even need to sudo that | 04:53 |
| brandan_ | troxor: http://pastebin.com/f4e95dab6 | 04:53 |
| troxor | brandan_: only what you feed into it... commands with the | on the command line take output from the left side of the | and feed it as input to the command on the right | 04:53 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, pastebinit only pastebins the information you tell it to | 04:53 |
| nickrud | Bodsda for the first time in a while, I let hardy guide me through installing codecs, setup wireless, etc. It was amazing how well it worked | 04:53 |
| troxor | Bodsda: perms annoy me ;( | 04:53 |
| ummm | htmljunkie: it's good to hear. this is why there are so many distros. for different ways people think linux should be distributed to the public | 04:54 |
| Bodsda | nickrud, i love the simplicity, but im slightly worried by the automation bug the devs seem to have | 04:54 |
| rafael | troxor: any idea?? | 04:54 |
| Bodsda | troxor, because catting a file does nothing to it you dont need sudo | 04:54 |
| brandan_ | troxor: is that helping any what I pastebin ? | 04:54 |
| nickrud | Bodsda as long as the automation is transparent I'm happy. That's the reason I use linux for, being able to trace exactly what's going on | 04:54 |
| Bodsda | nickrud, yes, its when the word 'wizard' starts poopin up il be scared,.,. i dont want to see an amazing distro become a free windows | 04:55 |
| troxor | brandan_: yep, though it looks like it's trying to use 640x 480 :( | 04:55 |
| troxor | rafael: I've never used luks, just lvm :( | 04:56 |
| brandan_ | troxor: i need it to use 1280 x 1024 :-( | 04:56 |
| rafael | hum, but i am using lvm also | 04:56 |
| troxor | brandan_: right, but we're going in the right direction, at least | 04:57 |
| brandan_ | troxor: yeah | 04:57 |
| troxor | brandan_: try this: `sudo nvidia-xconfig --mode=1280x1024` | 04:58 |
| brandan_ | troxor: we had it before but I had to scroll around my desktop to view clock or the bottom panel and etc...Wasn't working right | 04:58 |
| Bhavesh | YAY!!! WPC54G works like a charm as it should | 04:58 |

| Bhavesh | Bodsda: seems like something was going on with linksys WPC54G, it did not associate with AP, but now after fresh boot and doing NOTHING new, it started working | 04:59 |
| troxor | brandan_: cool, try cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 04:59 |

| troxor | brandan_: list all the files in /var/log with the `ls -ltr /var/log` command... then find the Xorg.blahhh file closest to the end- that's the latest one.. then, `cat /var/log/Xorg.latestone | pastebinit` | 05:10 |
| rampageoberon | onisciente: i think adding prepend name-server <ip> <Ip>; should do | 05:10 |
| rampageoberon | onisciente: i'll confirm | 05:10 |
| Bhavesh | nano /nick newnick to change your name, /join #newchannel to join another channel | 05:10 |
| onisciente | ok | 05:10 |
| Bodsda | brandan_, ok, well he asked for your latest xorg file so you use the command ls -lrt /var/log then take a note of the exact name of the last Xorg file noted. then use cat /var/log/<nameOfXorgFile> | pastebinit | 05:10 |
| troxor | brandan_: the `cat` command just takes whatever file its given and spits it all out, as fast as it can | 05:10 |
| rampageoberon | onisciente: its "prepend domain-name-servers <ip1> <ip2>; | 05:11 |
| onisciente | rampageoberon: hmmm, good! i'll do it | 05:11 |
| rampageoberon | onisciente: and then do sudo ifdown <interface> && sudo ifup <interface> | 05:11 |

| Soulwarp | clifford: do you mean the sound, or the plugin? | 05:50 |
| brandan_ | troxor: ok i picked test, it seemed ok, but i clicked "ok" nothing happened | 05:51 |
| linuxpwns | has any had any exprince with ayttm messenger? is it good? | 05:51 |
| w33d5 | yesterday i uploaded 1000's of images but i found a bunch a dupes - i deleted them locally but what can i use to compare the directories and delete the "removed dupes" remotely? | 05:51 |
| clifford | the sound | 05:51 |
| troxor | brandan_: that's alright, before I make you re-login/boot, can you do anything in preferences->Screen Resolution ? | 05:51 |
| Bhavesh | w33d5: may be faster to delete all from remote and reupload the files ( if bandwidth / time permits) | 05:51 |
| w33d5 | 1gb at 30kbs upstream | 05:52 |
| brandan_ | troxor: no it's still all unknown and 800x600 or 640x480 res | 05:52 |
| Bhavesh | w33d5: that could take a while | 05:52 |
| brandan_ | troxor: in there | 05:52 |
| Soulwarp | clifford: i suggest reloading your desktop maybe. you may have a misbehaving program that is locking your sound. | 05:52 |
| tycel | hm | 05:52 |
| w33d5 | the directory structure is the same locally and remotely | 05:52 |
| tycel | I am unable to cd into a directory | 05:52 |
| w33d5 | i'm thinking rsync | 05:52 |
| tycel | says permission denied. | 05:52 |
| tycel | and i cant sudo to do it >. | 05:52 |
| brandan_ | troxor: just reboot or? | 05:52 |
| Bhavesh | w33d5: that may work.. but unfortunately i am not the right person to help with rsync | 05:53 |
| w33d5 | or unison | 05:53 |
| csip | time lock | 05:53 |
| troxor | brandan_: alright, before you reboot, could you pastebin your xorg.conf again? | 05:53 |
| brandan_ | troxor: what is the thinngy to do that please? | 05:53 |
| troxor | brandan_: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 05:53 |
| Bhavesh | tycel: possibly the permission is missing | 05:53 |
| Bhavesh | troxor: mind if i look at the file and see if i can help? | 05:54 |
| brandan_ | troxor: http://pastebin.com/f44624e68 | 05:54 |
| babolat | alright. i know there are howtos available on the net, but I don't get them. How do i start fluxbox after installing it? | 05:54 |
| brandan_ | troxor: :-) | 05:54 |
| linuxpwns | i just installed the .deb package file for ayttm and now i cant find it in the Apps menu. | 05:54 |
| Bhavesh | babolat: in your .xinitrc file put 'exec fluxbox' | 05:54 |
| soldats | babolat: select it from the gdm session startup screen | 05:54 |
| troxor | Bhavesh: ^ pastebin | 05:55 |
| Bhavesh | linuxpwns: have you tried to exit out of your X and login again? may be it's there it just needs to be refreshed | 05:55 |
| troxor | brandan_: agh, it's using vesa again | 05:55 |
| Bhavesh | troxor: complicated xorg.conf file :) | 05:55 |
| gaintsura | question... I just ran top from the command line, and it says there is 1 zombie, I'm assuming that it is a child process that got left behind, how can I find out what it is? | 05:55 |
| brandan_ | troxor: it shows my restricted drivers aren't enabled, coulld this be a problem, should I enable them? | 05:55 |
| troxor | brandan_: yep | 05:55 |
| linuxpwns | Bhavesh: how would i go about doing that? thanks for your help. | 05:56 |
| doug_-_-_-_ | how do i disable the x chat 2 logging? | 05:56 |
| brandan_ | troxor: now says restart is required, cause I enabled restricted drivers | 05:56 |
| troxor | Bhavesh: unfortunately so :( | 05:56 |
| Bhavesh | linuxpwns: try someone else's suggestion it is much easier then mine and it is better suggestion | 05:56 |
| brandan_ | troxor how do i get that menu up i had before, that shows my resolution and all? | 05:56 |
| troxor | brandan_: alright, though if the xorg.conf doesn't reference 'nvidia' on that Driver line, your resolution will still be crummy :( | 05:57 |
| onthefence928 | does anybody here have experience with virtual box? | 05:57 |
| linuxpwns | could i just log off and back in | 05:57 |
| troxor | brandan_: sudo displayconfig-gtk | 05:57 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: what do you need? | 05:57 |
| Soulwarp | linuxpwns: Alt+Control+Backspace will reload your desktop | 05:57 |
| gaintsura | usually a VMware guy, but I've taken quite the delve into vbox | 05:57 |
| brandan_ | troxor: :-( sudo displayconfig-gtk is back to regular, plug and play, 800x600 | 05:58 |
| linuxpwns | soulwarp: thasnks | 05:58 |
| onthefence928 | giantsura: i am trying to set up a XP virtual thing | 05:58 |
| gaintsura | ok | 05:58 |
| onthefence928 | so i can run the zune software | 05:58 |
| onthefence928 | and it's telling me theres no kernal | 05:58 |
| onthefence928 | how do i give it one? | 05:58 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: hang on | 05:58 |
| onthefence928 | so to speak | 05:58 |
| Bhavesh | brandan_: we are trying to get you to use higher resolution yes? | 05:58 |
| brandan_ | troxor: I have an idea, sound ok? enable restricted drivers, restart, then try what we were doing here...again | 05:59 |
| troxor | Bhavesh: yep, the monitor doesn't give edid info though | 05:59 |
| brandan_ | Bhavesh: yes | 05:59 |
| troxor | brandan_: sure, we definitely want restricted drivers | 05:59 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: go the the virtualbox website, to their downloads, select your installation and it will give you a .deb file, uninstall vbox from synaptic and install it from the .deb | 05:59 |
| Bhavesh | what type /brand/model of monitor is it? | 05:59 |
| brandan_ | troxor: so i'll just reboot with them enabled then go back to sudo displayconfig-gtk and see what happens in there? | 06:00 |
| brandan_ | troxor: sound like an idea worth trying? | 06:00 |
| gaintsura | using the debian package will make better use, plus you dont have to constantly worry about the problems with the kernel thing when it updates | 06:00 |
| Gemmie78 | Back | 06:00 |
| DaLiang | what kind fo FTP software should i use in ubuntu | 06:00 |
| Soulwarp | brandan_: have you installed your restricted drivers for your graphics card? doing this may help you increase your resolution | 06:00 |
| Gemmie78 | That was of no help dude, it just froze, I couldn't get out | 06:00 |
| brandan_ | Bhavesh: HP Pavillion vx74 17 inch CRT | 06:00 |
| gaintsura | DaLiang: server or client? | 06:00 |
| Gemmie78 | I had to wait 20 minutes for the live cd interface again -_- | 06:00 |

| nomaS | hi, does ubuntu server edition works with the intel core 2 duo ? | 06:01 |
| brandan_ | Soulwarp: I enabled them from the menu, so yeah they're installed I believe. | 06:01 |
| troxor | Gemmie78: what old settings? | 06:01 |
| brandan_ | troxor: ok I will try that, so brb all....Thank you...in advance :) | 06:01 |
| SmackCrackin9 | This wireless is pissing me off. I can do a iwlist scan and see access points, when i go to connect my card never seems to complete the handshake. It eventually fails. | 06:01 |
| Gemmie78 | Yesterday, my ubuntu was fine, I changed some settings with the graphics accelerator and went to bed | 06:01 |
| Gemmie78 | Now it doesn't work | 06:01 |
| Gemmie78 | Basically it fails to boot, it says its checking something and just leaves there | 06:02 |
| __machine | i installed logrotate but it doesn't seem to be rotating my apache logs... do i need to do anything specific to actually enable log rotation? | 06:02 |
| troxor | Gemmie78: do you remember what those settings were? it's kinda vague to say you changed something and now it doesn't work ;) | 06:02 |
| nomaS | hi, does ubuntu server edition works with the intel core 2 duo ? | 06:02 |
| Gemmie78 | Yeah i changed around the graphics accelerator settings | 06:02 |
| gaintsura | nomaS: yes it will, and please do not repeat your question in such short time | 06:03 |
| Gemmie78 | From a default to a one I felt which were more suitable, however it doesn't seem to boot today | 06:03 |

| Gemmie78 | If I'm screwed I want to recover setting data if that's possible | 06:03 |
| troxor | SmackCrackin9: try tailing the daemon.log while it's doing the handshake- also, make sure networkmanager, networkmanagerdispatcher, and dhcdbd are all running | 06:03 |
| Bhavesh | SmackCrackin9: i had that problem for the longest time with WPC54G and for some reason it started working all of a sudden | 06:03 |
| Soulwarp | Gemmie78: usually when you change your graphic setting there is a backup file you can use to restore your settings | 06:03 |
| Gemmie78 | If I go back, it wil take 20 minutes to come back here | 06:03 |
| === mini_g is now known as Jalathan | ||
| SmackCrackin9 | yeah im using knetwork manager | 06:04 |
| tycel | hm | 06:04 |
| troxor | SmackCrackin9: `tail -f /var/log/daemon.log` | 06:04 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: are you still there? | 06:04 |
| troxor | SmackCrackin9: that should tell you what networkmanager is doing | 06:04 |
| tycel | maybe theres another http server i should try sides apache and lighttpd >.> | 06:04 |
| onthefence928 | giantsura: i did download form the website, it didn't come with a kernal | 06:04 |
| brandan_ | finally got it i think | 06:04 |
| Gemmie78 | A backup setting? Go on | 06:05 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: it doesnt come with a kernel, it should tell you when you first install that it needs to configure itself for the kernel | 06:05 |
| brandan_ | should I "Save X Configuration File" ? in NVIDIA X Server Settings window | 06:05 |
| Gemmie78 | I was also using bittorrent and playing around with the firestarter program | 06:05 |

| Gemmie78 | Chances are my previous installed version was screwed up, if I can;t anyway I can retreive the data or settings for thunderbird etc? | 06:05 |
| sagredo | what up | 06:05 |
| brandan_ | troxor: Merge with existing file ? | 06:06 |
| troxor | tycel: of course, whatever directory your html files are in :) | 06:06 |
| troxor | brandan_: unless there's a replace option :) | 06:06 |
| SmackCrackin9 | association took too long (>60s), failing activation. | 06:06 |
| brandan_ | troxor: nope, all I see is, a check box with whether I would like to merge with the existing file or not | 06:07 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: run this in terminal /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 06:07 |
| troxor | brandan_: sure, it's worth a shot after all this, huh? :) | 06:07 |
| SmackCrackin9 | whats the tail command do? read a file and print the changes to the screen/ | 06:07 |
| gaintsura | then try running vbox again | 06:07 |
| troxor | SmackCrackin9: tail will give you the last few lines of a file- tail -f will "watch" the last few lines of a file as it changes | 06:07 |
| zackfs14 | wow hardy heron was ridiculously easy to install | 06:08 |
| brandan_ | troxor: I try saving it. it says.....Unable to remove old X config backup file 'etc/X11/xorg.config.backip'. with a Red symbol by it | 06:08 |
| troxor | brandan_: did you run it as sudo ? | 06:08 |
| SmackCrackin9 | ic | 06:08 |
| gaintsura | anyone know why X keeps freezing on me?? I can be doing anything, have any number of programs running, and it will kind of freeze up until I minimize the active window, right click and restore the window, other times, X itself will fully freeze | 06:09 |
| brandan_ | troxor: no i just opened it from my System > Administration | 06:09 |
| troxor | brandan_: basically, anything that modifies files in places other than /home/<you> will need `sudo` before the command name- this extra hurdle is to prevent disaster | 06:09 |

| Soulwarp | gaintsura: I'm not sure what would cause the screen to freeze or lock up. maybe someone in the channel can figure it out. (honest answer) I actually had a friend who had the same problem so I'm sure it's common. | 06:17 |

| onthefence928 | gaintsura: oh it says that the user doesn't have write permissions | 06:18 |
| gaintsura | troxor: I dont know, everything I've gotten for my system I've gotten via synaptic | 06:18 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: ok, you need to add yourself to the virtualbox user group | 06:18 |
| gaintsura | Bhavesh: walk me through buddeh | 06:19 |
| troxor | gaintsura: random lockups are tough to diagnose- can you ever ssh into the machine when it's frozen ? | 06:19 |
| Bhavesh | gaintsura: i am new to ubuntu :) i know how to do things from command line but i rather not go that route | 06:19 |

| gaintsura | onthefence928: go to Administration->Users and Groups | 06:20 |
| gaintsura | Soulwarp: yes | 06:20 |
| Bhavesh | if ctrl-alt-backspace works that means x is not completely locked up | 06:20 |
| gaintsura | troxor: no, usually I'm at about 145 peak unlesss I'm hardcore editing something, which is rare | 06:21 |
| Soulwarp | gaintsura: it may just be the programs you are using | 06:21 |

| enos | Help. I can't seem to understand what's *causing* ubuntu to appear so bright. I looked at xorg.conf and it doesnt look like its neither recognizing my video card's drivers (as its using vesa) nor my monitor (as its using a generic one). Help. | 06:29 |
| rkvirani | Is there a way to get ume-launcher to run without compiz? | 06:30 |
| rkvirani | I really like it but my hp2133 wont do compiz at all | 06:30 |
| troxor | brandan_: right, just type about:plugins where you would any URL | 06:30 |
| hakie | hello .everyone! | 06:30 |
| gaintsura | vb123: either way, PHP/apache is not configured properly, check the manuals | 06:30 |
| raddy | is it possible save the updates installed to diff partition so that i can reinstall later at one go? | 06:30 |
| GogDaen | hello | 06:30 |
| Soulwarp | raddy: im sure it is | 06:30 |
| cpk1 | raddy: yes | 06:31 |
| puff | vb123: Be aware that there are a few gotchas, for example you have to install php4-mysql and php5-mysql to allow php to get at mysql, and you have to install libapache2-mod-php4 and libapache2-mod-php5, etc. | 06:31 |
| Soulwarp | raddy: updates are saved in /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update | 06:31 |
| raddy | Soulwarp : ohh, cool | 06:31 |
| GogDaen | hello... i'm using irc in text mode in first time! | 06:31 |
| vb123 | thanks puff | 06:31 |
| GogDaen | :D | 06:31 |
| puff | vb123: MAke sure those are installed. | 06:31 |
| DualBlader | Hy there, i'm hre to help. | 06:31 |
| gaintsura | puff: wrong, you do not need both php4-mysql AND php5-mysql | 06:31 |
| puff | vb123: Unfortunately, I'm going to be AFK for a little while. | 06:31 |
| puff | gaintsura: sure, you don't *need* any of this crap, you just need a C compiler, or an assembler. | 06:32 |
| GogDaen | is so cool | 06:32 |
| cweagans | is anyone here really bored? | 06:32 |
| raddy | Soulwarp : later when i install a fresh copy, how can install all the updates back? | 06:32 |
| gaintsura | ... funny | 06:32 |
| * rkvirani guesses not alot of people know about ume-launcher, it rocks! | 06:32 | |
| brandan_ | troxor: sorry it's probably right in front of me and i don't see it :( sorta tired lol | 06:32 |
| gaintsura | puff: I'm running apache/php/mysql right now on this system, no php4 modules | 06:32 |
| Soulwarp | raddy: just a sec i think i made a mistake | 06:32 |
| puff | gaintsura: Are you saying that php4-mysql subsumes php4-mysql? | 06:32 |
| onthefence928 | gaintsura: ok so it didn't fix the error, but i tried going back to users settings and it won't let me validate | 06:32 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: ? | 06:33 |
| puff | gaintsura: Er, are you saying that php5-mysql subsumes php4-mysql? | 06:33 |
| puff | gaintsura: Because if that's the case, shouldn't installing php5-mysql cause apt to remove php4-mysql? | 06:33 |
| cweagans | you all should go digg this: http://blog.tsheets.com/2008/time-tracking-software/time-tracking-with-a-cell-phone-and-jott.html | 06:33 |
| GogDaen | somebody uses debian distro here? im trying to make a distro | 06:33 |
| nickrud | raddy do the first half of the clone procedure copy the debs out of /var/cache/apt/archives , save them somewhere. Do the install, copy them back. then do the second half of the clone procedure | 06:33 |
| nickrud | !clone | raddy | 06:33 |
| ubottu | raddy: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 06:33 |
| gaintsura | puff: yes... there is no need for both to be there, php5-mysql has everything php4-mysql has plus updates | 06:33 |
| puff | Damn, this install CD is taking forever to startup. | 06:33 |
| puff | gaintsura: Because if that's the case, shouldn't installing php5-mysql cause apt to remove php4-mysql? | 06:33 |
| gaintsura | not always | 06:34 |
| hakie | is there a software have this function? when i put my mouse on a file/folder ,it will display it's information . | 06:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nickrud: i never knew you could do that... | 06:34 |
| raddy | Soulwarp : FYI the packages are actually located in /var/cache/apt/archives | 06:34 |
| brandan_ | troxor: can u maybe explain how i install stuff from .tar.gz ? I still don't know how, I am new to Ubuntu ..... | 06:34 |
| Soulwarp | raddy: yea i was wrong | 06:34 |
| puff | gaintsura: Ah. Same story for libapache2-mod-etc? | 06:34 |
| gaintsura | puff: if php4-mysql is still on your system, remove it and see, apt doesn't always remove previous versions | 06:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | brandan_: what are you installing/ | 06:34 |
| onthefence928 | gaintsura: i mean it won't let me unlock | 06:34 |
| gaintsura | that I do not know, I started this system on php5 | 06:34 |
| nickrud | Daisuke_Ido the real problem with it is the cache is limited to 500mb in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 06:35 |

| onthefence928 | don't have the chance | 06:35 |
| gaintsura | ? | 06:35 |
| onthefence928 | an unexpected error occurs | 06:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | brandan_: you go into synaptic and install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package | 06:35 |
| onthefence928 | it says | 06:35 |
| Soulwarp | raddy: theoretically you can copy those over and you will have to open each package | 06:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | brandan_: there's no reason to install that from a tarball | 06:36 |
| hakie | anyone can help? | 06:36 |
| brandan_ | it is installed, should I mark it for re installation ? | 06:36 |
| DualBlader | hakie: what is the problem? | 06:36 |
| brandan_ | cause youtube don't work now | 06:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | err... you can try it | 06:37 |
| hakie | is there a software have this function? when i put my mouse on a file/folder ,it will display it's information | 06:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !repeat | hakie | 06:37 |
| ubottu | hakie: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 06:37 |
| rkvirani | Is there a way to get ume-launcher to run without compiz? | 06:37 |
| nickrud | Daisuke_Ido he was asked to repeat ;) | 06:37 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: whats the error? | 06:37 |
| nickrud | hakie not really, the way you can see info is right click and select properties | 06:37 |
| sigma_12 | does ubuntu server have a gui? | 06:37 |
| gaintsura | and where are you getting the error? | 06:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nickrud: oops :( | 06:38 |
| nickrud | sigma_12 not by default | 06:38 |
| onthefence928 | gaintsura: ok i got it working, should i check teh box next to root also? | 06:38 |
| gaintsura | sigma_12: not be default, but you can install one | 06:38 |
| brandan_ | whats a better screenshot program then the one built into Ubuntu ? | 06:38 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: NO | 06:38 |
| cweagans | http://blog.tsheets.com/2008/time-tracking-software/time-tracking-with-a-cell-phone-and-jott.html | 06:38 |
| raddy | nickrud : the procedure you suggested for cloning an installation was useful, but does it cover updates? | 06:38 |
| sigma_12 | nickrud: if i install it how do i configure it? | 06:38 |
| gaintsura | onthefence928: congrats you got it working, I'm heading to bed, good night all | 06:39 |
| nickrud | raddy when you clone, it just takes the names of the packages. So, when you tell it to do the dselect-upgrade, it will use the latest update available | 06:39 |
| nickrud | sigma_12 the simplest way is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , that's a complete desktop, properly configured | 06:39 |
| liassist | !tell virus | 06:39 |
| ubottu | Factoid tell virus not found | 06:39 |
| nickrud | brandan_ some people like scrot, apt-cache search screenshot will show you some more | 06:40 |
| hakie | nickrud:but it's a little inconvenient. | 06:41 |
| raddy | nickrud : ohhh, so after reinstalling, i should move all the backed up updated to packages to /var/cache/apt/archives then use the apt command to direct to the selections file, right? | 06:41 |
| lut4rp | ubottu, | 06:41 |
| brandan_ | there was this one screenshot program i used, it was for KDE but I ran it under Gnome also...it worked good.forget the name of it | 06:41 |
| nickrud | hakie yeah, it would be nice. Me, I'd turn it off because I think it would be annoying to have windows popping up all the time. Like those <expletive deleted> ones on some web pages | 06:41 |
| nickrud | raddy yes | 06:42 |
| raddy | nickrud: okk | 06:42 |

| chmac | tico: I've got the password enabled, but when I close the lid, the screensaver is not being fired, that's the issue | 06:55 |
| tico | chmac: then you will see an option "power management" and there you can setup what you need | 06:55 |
| tycel | unless theres a hidden config file that i cant find | 06:55 |
| chmac | unbkbl: Nope, that's the alternate installer | 06:55 |
| chmac | tico: Yep, got that, it's set to blank the screen, but that's not causing the screensaver to lock | 06:55 |
| nickolaus | I am trying to output a cloned desktop to my LCD tv. Any clues? | 06:56 |
| unbkbl | chmac i just dont wanna download the live cd | 06:56 |
| chmac | unbkbl: The live cd is the default installer, the alternate will install from a text based console | 06:56 |
| nickrud | unbkbl then that's the right one, not the live cd | 06:56 |
| chmac | unbkbl: You can choose to do a direct install without booting the livecd, it works fine | 06:56 |

| chmac | tico: Ok, and then what? | 06:57 |
| savin | please help out... | 06:57 |
| da_YZman | hi | 06:58 |
| savin | i desperately want to know how to run lex and yacc on ubuntu.. | 06:58 |
| chmac | savin: Never heard of lex or yacc, so I can't offer much help, have you tried searching the web? "ubuntu lex" "ubuntu install lex" etc? | 06:58 |
| da_YZman | does ubuntu ultimate install a firewall? | 06:58 |
| chmac | da_YZman: I'm pretty sure it installs iptable by defualt | 06:59 |
| chmac | da_YZman: I've never seen a distro which doesn't ship a default firewall | 06:59 |
| savin | chmac: i tried out.. but someone suggested me talk to you people.. | 06:59 |
| nickrud | savin bison is the yacc default these days, and flex for lex . Running them, well, that's another question :) | 06:59 |
| pitsN | installed 7.04 on sda; then 8.04 on sdb; start from sda/boot/grub/menu.lst working for both; now updated boot HDD priority set 1st HDD==sdb=> restart, correctly find sdb/boot/grub/menu.lst, not can not boot into any sys | 06:59 |
| musikgoat | iptables are installed, but not configured to block anything | 06:59 |
| chmac | savin: Well if nobody can help at the moment, back to the web... :) | 06:59 |
| tico | chmac: which version do you have? | 07:00 |
| chmac | tico: Of what? | 07:00 |
| savin | nickrud: i see, i didnt know all that.. | 07:00 |
| nickrud | savin and I'd suggest the bison-doc package as well | 07:00 |
| tico | chmac: OS | 07:00 |

| chmac | tico: Yeah, it's the default behaviour on Fedora | 07:02 |
| savin | nickrud: suggesting me to install that bison-doc | 07:02 |
| tico | chmac: give 1 sec to test on my notebook right now. | 07:02 |
| chmac | nickolaus: Please ask specific questions regarding specific problems | 07:02 |
| onthefence928 | koshari: i just want to run my zune software on a XP virtual box. | 07:02 |
| nickrud | tycel no. You'd cd into the directory then run sudo <whatever>. If it's one of those dirs you can't cd into as your regular user, then use sudo -i to get a root shell, then you can cd in | 07:02 |
| pitsN | chmac: no. i did not change anything for the grub file. i started pc, and press "DEL" button to update the bios setting, update boot HDD priority, set 1st HDD==>sdb | 07:03 |
| nickrud | savin yes. | 07:03 |
| chmac | onthefence928: If you want to install Windows, you'll need Windows install media | 07:03 |
| chmac | pitsN: Oh, then that's your problem, change it back | 07:03 |
| musikgoat | nickolaus: what kind of video card... model... and the output method to your TV? | 07:03 |
| chmac | pitsN: You don't need to change where it boots to on the disk | 07:03 |
| chmac | pitsN: It can boot to one drive and then start the OS from either one | 07:03 |
| nickrud | savin as well as bison and flex. If you need the posix version of lex, you need flex-old . And, we've just plumbed the depths of my knowledge of those. I know what they are, but using them is over my head | 07:03 |
| pitsN | chmac: i did this for the reason: i take out my sdb and try to plug into other pc, to see, if it works | 07:04 |
| koshari | onthefence928 otherwise i think vmware will let you mount an iso, at least it does to let you install the vm guest drivers | 07:04 |

| savin | nickrud: ok then i will go to google and search for bison and flex set-ups..? | 07:04 |
| chmac | onthefence928: Simply put, no, but that's a Windows question, not an Ubuntu question | 07:04 |
| nickrud | savin yes | 07:04 |

| nickolaus | koshari not sure... | 07:05 |
| nickrud | savin but install the bison-doc , they will be at /usr/share/doc/bison-doc . | 07:05 |
| onthefence928 | i'm running virtualbox i ubuntu | 07:05 |

| chmac | onthefence928: No, I don't believe there is | 07:08 |
| koshari | da_YZman firestarter is a popular front end for iptables | 07:08 |
| tico | chmac: ok i see sorry but with the last version i was able to do what do you need. btw im checking how better do this. sorry | 07:08 |
| chmac | onthefence928: You'd need bare bones virtualisation to do that, which virtualbox is not | 07:08 |
| nickrud | novato_br if I remember correctly, you can install imagemagick and then run convert file.pdf file.jpg | 07:08 |
| pitsN | chmac: yes i updated to boot from sdB/boot/grub/menu.lst, it works, but the menu items, does not work | 07:09 |
| nickolaus | sorry | 07:09 |
| novato_br | is there a way to export from pdf to jpeg ? | 07:09 |
| da_YZman | thanks | 07:09 |

| novato_br | thx, Nicke_ | 07:09 |
| onthefence928 | chmac then do you know anyother way to run the zune software from ubuntu? | 07:09 |
| chmac | tico: I'm not sure what you mean. When you close the lid of your laptop, then open it again, the screensaver is locked? | 07:09 |
| nickrud | novato_br no problem | 07:09 |
| novato_br | yep, sorry" I saw | 07:09 |
| koshari | onthefence928 a VM client is more than just a kernel, it will run virtual services, virtual interfaces ect ect | 07:09 |
| chmac | onthefence928: Will it run on line? | 07:09 |
| pitsN | chmac: it displays correctly the sdB/boot/grub/menu.lst ; but can not boot into any sys | 07:09 |
| enos | Dough! it didn't work! | 07:09 |
| Sonicadvance | Quick question. Is there a visual app available to connect to devices via Bluetooth? | 07:10 |
| chmac | onthefence928: Sorry, Wine | 07:10 |
| marek` | hey | 07:10 |
| Jalathan | does anyone know if the automake the 1.9 install.sh is compatible with programs built for 1.6? | 07:10 |
| chmac | onthefence928: If not, you'll need a Windows virtual machine in Virtualbox / VMWare / etc | 07:10 |
| Veinor | for some reason scrollkeeper-update is chewing up an entire CPU, does anybody know why this would be? | 07:10 |
| tico | chmac: on the past version it works but now no! :/ im checking how better do this with the new version | 07:10 |
| Veinor | ah wait, now it stopped. | 07:10 |
| Nave_ | is it easy to install Ubuntu on a Dell machine? | 07:10 |
| chmac | tico: Yeah, it's a change I'm guessing | 07:10 |
| nickrud | Veinor yes, scrollkeeper is a hog :) | 07:10 |
| chmac | tico: If you leave the lid closed for the screensaver timeout time, it comes on and locks | 07:10 |
| savin | nickrud:its ok.. | 07:11 |
| chmac | tico: But it doesn't lock immediately | 07:11 |
| savin | i still didnt do anything... | 07:11 |
| savin | nickrud: what wil do now.. | 07:11 |
| marek` | i have tried following the xinerama how to but it isnt working. here is my xorg.conf: | 07:11 |
| KyleK | Jalathan: automake is a different wrong version? it really depends | 07:11 |
| nickrud | savin you've found what you need? Or, do you need more help? What in particular? | 07:11 |
| marek` | http://pastebin.ca/1044593 | 07:11 |
| savin | nickrud: go to net n download..? | 07:11 |
| nickrud | savin did you install bison, flex, and bison-doc ? | 07:11 |
| Nave_ | what room is the off topic chat? | 07:11 |
| chmac | pitsN: You should boot to one drive consistently, and then choose your os from there | 07:11 |
| tico | chmac: there is maybe one option if you can download like a different power management, maybe you will be able to do what do you need. | 07:11 |
| chmac | pitsN: So you don't want to boot to a usb disk | 07:11 |
| Veinor | nave_: #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:11 |
| savin | nickrud: no nothing i did still.. | 07:12 |
| nickrud | savin ok. go to system->admin->synaptic on the menu bar | 07:12 |
| chmac | tico: I don't think that's the way forward, but maybe | 07:12 |
| Jalathan | KyleK, i'm looking at attempting to install a program that uses the 1.6 version's installer | 07:12 |
| tico | chmac: i know.. | 07:12 |
| pitsN | chmac: i did this test: in order to boot directly from USB, but now it does not work || if i boot from sda, it can boot into both ubuntu | 07:13 |
| KyleK | Jalathan: so does it work? :) | 07:13 |
| nickrud | savin got it open? | 07:13 |
| NowImJustLazy | Alright, so is there any possible way to run "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" on Linux? | 07:13 |
| Veinor | all right, for some reason firefox tends to grab onto ALSA and never let it go. | 07:13 |
| chmac | pitsN: So what doesn't work? | 07:13 |
| Veinor | I can't aplay or do pretty much anything with sound. | 07:13 |
| Jalathan | KyleK, one min, am testing it out. XD | 07:13 |
| Veinor | is there any way to stop it from doing this? | 07:13 |
| savin | nickrud: yeah, just opened that synaptic pakage manager.. | 07:13 |
| nickrud | savin ok, now type ctl-f , and search for bison-doc | 07:14 |
| Veinor | And in general, to kill processes that are hogging alsa. | 07:14 |
| savin | nickrud: what should i do.. | 07:14 |
| Veinor | for reference, when I try aplay, I get: | 07:14 |
| Veinor | ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | 07:14 |
| Veinor | aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy | 07:14 |
| Veinor | what should I do? | 07:14 |
| nickrud | savin did you see my last? | 07:14 |
| pitsN | chmac: i updated pc's 1st HDD to USB; restart; found USB/boot/grub/menu.lst, there are several options to boot, but none bootable | 07:15 |
| savin | nickrud: now returned with 2 packages.. | 07:15 |
| savin | nickrud:on seraching bison-doc | 07:15 |
| chmac | pitsN: What do you mean "updated pc's 1st hdd to usb" ? Did you change the device numbers? | 07:15 |
| nickrud | savin ok, click the box next to bison-doc , and select install | 07:15 |
| Doper | Alright, so how Would I get "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" To run under wine. | 07:15 |
| pitsN | chmac: turn on PC -> quickly press "DEL" key, update pc boot priority -> set 1st HDD==>USB | 07:16 |
| savin | nickrud: i should click on it and should mark for installation or what? | 07:16 |
| nickrud | !appdb | Doper (your best hope for info on that) | 07:16 |
| ubottu | Doper (your best hope for info on that): The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:16 |
| tico | chmac: ok | 07:16 |
| lordvetinari | lo peoples | 07:16 |
| tico | chmac: are you there? | 07:16 |
| nickrud | savin yes, I think I just said that :) | 07:16 |
| chmac | pitsN: Ok, so the machine won't boot from your USB drive | 07:16 |
| chmac | pitsN: It's probably not configured properly to boot | 07:16 |
| Doper | I have searched the WineDBB and I have seen nothing about Daggerfall. | 07:17 |
| chmac | tico: Did you ask me a question? | 07:17 |
| nickrud | Doper if it's not there, then probably it doesn't work. | 07:17 |
| savin | nickrud: i marked it and selected for installtion, but i cant make out that it is getting installed.. | 07:17 |
| tico | chmac: ok ready | 07:17 |
| pitsN | chmac: it is booting now from USB; but i guess not configured properly, as i updated the HDD sequence? so the UUID should be updated as well in file menu.lst? | 07:17 |
| Doper | Alright, thanks then. | 07:17 |
| savin | nickrud: one arrow mark in box has come.. | 07:17 |
| nickrud | savin ok,next it the apply button on the toolbar above | 07:17 |
| tico | chmac: i know how to do that | 07:17 |
| tico | chmac: let me explain | 07:17 |
| chmac | tico: /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen = true | 07:18 |
| nickrud | savin I mean, click on the apply button on the toolbar above | 07:18 |
| savin | nickrud: i should give apply now? | 07:18 |
| chmac | tico: Got it working :) | 07:18 |
| tico | chmac: ALT-F2, “gconf-editor” | 07:18 |
| tico | exactly | 07:18 |
| tico | jajajajaja | 07:18 |
| tico | chmac: good luck! | 07:18 |
| savin | again a dialog box has come.. | 07:18 |
| pitsN | chmac: or m i too funny? Actually I try to take my ubuntu8.04 on USB , plug into a normal XP PC, try to boot from that USB | 07:18 |
| chmac | tico: Good luck? It's working... | 07:18 |
| savin | nickrud:shall i apply that now... | 07:19 |
| tico | chmac: yes | 07:19 |
| nickrud | savin yes | 07:19 |
| tico | chmac: tested | 07:19 |
| pitsN | chmac: what's the best to way to do above job ? | 07:19 |
| lordvetinari | quick question... if my server's got linux-image-generic on in stead of linux-image-server.. does that mean that it's not running 'ubuntu server'/ | 07:19 |
| chmac | pitsN: You want to boot Ubuntu from an external hard drive via USB? | 07:19 |
| savin | nickrud: there is option there called download package files only.. shud i click on it? | 07:19 |
| pitsN | chmac: yes | 07:19 |
| nickrud | savin no, you want to install them, not just download them | 07:19 |
| chmac | pitsN: That should work if the drive is consistently used on the same machine, but I don't think it will work to move the drive to different machines and boot it | 07:19 |
| chmac | pitsN: So it's showing the menu, but it won't boot from the usb disk, is that correct? | 07:20 |
| pitsN | chmac: correct | 07:20 |
| savin | nickrud:ok i shud just give apply now, by not ticking that "download pakage files only" | 07:20 |
| savin | nickrud: is that ok.. | 07:20 |
| karmacoder | hi, i desperatly need an xfsprog update but my edgy has no newer version. how can i get the version of gutsy or later? | 07:20 |
| nickrud | savin a sec | 07:21 |
| tico | chmac: i have this version working from a usb, and works perfect! | 07:21 |
| savin | nickrud: shall i apply that..? am waiting..? | 07:21 |
| nickrud | savin yes | 07:21 |
| chmac | pitsN: Did you install Ubuntu on the USB disk and tell it to boot from that disk? | 07:21 |
| savin | nickrud: somethin is getting downloaded.. | 07:22 |
| nickrud | savin it'd been a while since I used synaptic, had to make sure I was saying the right thing. Good thing I looked, it had changed a little | 07:22 |
| chmac | pitsN: I'm not totally familiar with what goes on in /boot, but something is obviously not working, and I'm assuming it's because you changed the boot location or something | 07:22 |
| savin | nickrud: so sweet.. thank u for that.. | 07:22 |
| tico | piTsN: make sure the usb disk when you try to boot you are using "dev0" | 07:23 |
| nickrud | savin now, to read the docs: evince /usr/share/doc/bison-doc/bison.pdf.gz | 07:23 |
| === Chari2 is now known as Charitwo | ||
| tico | piTsN: and not "dev1" | 07:23 |
| nickrud | savin now you know how to find and install packages :) | 07:23 |
| chmac | pitsN: I gotta do some work, best of luck | 07:23 |
| pitsN | tico: installed 7.04 on sdA, then 8.04 on USB, it works,but I have to plug in USB each time, if not, broken; so i update the grub, to boot from 7.04/boot/..; now works with or without USB; || | 07:23 |
| pitsN | thanks chmac | 07:24 |
| pitsN | tico: where to find "dev1" or 0 | 07:24 |
| savin | nickrud: i dont know anything as now... | 07:24 |
| savin | nickrud: what will i do by reading those documents... | 07:25 |
| nickrud | savin, sure you do: when you decide to install flex, you open synaptic, search for it (ctl-f) , mark it for installation, apply apply :) | 07:25 |
| nickrud | savin learn how to use yacc | 07:25 |
| tico | piTsN: on grub menu use "e" to edit and you can see that. | 07:25 |
| karmacoder | how can i install a package on edgy? the mirror is gone | 07:25 |
| nickrud | !eol | 07:25 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 07:25 |
| savin | i know how to use yacc in red hat linux.. | 07:26 |
| pitsN | tico: yes. i did, updated root (hd1,6)==>hd0,6 ==> still not working | 07:26 |
| pitsN | ok ,,, let me go out and test again. back in a sec . tico | 07:26 |
| savin | but someone told me in ubuntu i will have to install it before i had to run lex and yacc.. | 07:26 |
| tico | piTsN: wait | 07:26 |
| nickrud | karmacoder edgy has reached end of life, it doesn't get suport anymore | 07:26 |

| === lagann is now known as lagann_ | ||
| tico | piTsN: go to terminal then type "df -h" | 07:27 |
| nickrud | savin I suggested you install that since bison has replaced yacc, and you should update your knowledge. Install bison to get the command yacc , and flex to get the command lex | 07:27 |
| zvacet | karmacoder : you have to edit your source list and replace archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:27 |
| savin | nickrud: now the installation got over also... | 07:28 |
| nickrud | savin now, to read the docs: evince /usr/share/doc/bison-doc/bison.pdf.gz | 07:28 |
| zvacet | karmacoder : and if you can upgrade or make fresh install | 07:28 |

| savin | nickrud: i guess it is there already.. | 07:35 |
| nickrud | savin no, just click flex. That's what you are looking for | 07:35 |
| nickrud | savin exactly. acpid is already installed | 07:35 |

| rogerdpenguin | thanks | 07:36 |
| zvacet | rogerdpenguin : you can partition your comp as you wish it is your decision what you want to do | 07:36 |

| justme | K^Holtz, that's bad ^^ | 08:20 |
| pitsN | eg. i'd like to have 1280*800 -- howto make it? there is no selection on the screen-resolution | 08:20 |
| justme | pitsN - try to add the resolution in xorg.conf | 08:21 |
| justme | and restart X | 08:21 |

| fserve | Avant Window Manager | 08:52 |
| fsckd | Chloe, whats wrong | 08:52 |
| evilbug | fserve- i know awn,i just haven't figured out how to get the font white and panel black. | 08:53 |
| Chloe | I got several problems with Xorg "not saving" and recovering an old config file | 08:53 |

| Jalathan | pitsN, this can also be done by pressing the up key to pull up the command | 08:54 |
| Jalathan | !awn | ne2k__ | 08:54 |
| ubottu | ne2k__: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 08:54 |
| colourAgga | http://www.macewan.org/images/Edgy.beryl.kibadock_thumb.jpg < kiba dock screenshot fetched from google | 08:54 |

| Chloe | ok well I can "pastebin" the current config it's working but if I uncomment some lines it doesn't work anymore | 08:56 |
| ne2k__ | Jalathan: does it work along-side the normal gnome panel and stuff or does it replace them? | 08:56 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, oh, sorry... could you please describe the screen? | 08:56 |
| Chloe | I would need a testparm for Xorg | 08:56 |
| Jalathan | ne2k__, it replaces the bottom panel | 08:56 |
| fserve | awn is nice | 08:56 |

| pitsN | Jalathan: it auto detected: keyboard layout = us <OK> ? | 08:58 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, ok | 08:58 |
| ne2k__ | Jalathan: it's... really crap. it totally doesn't replicate the functionality of the mac os x dock. it only has active windows in it, for a start. and the icons bounce when I hover over them... icons are supposed to bounce when a program is loading. | 08:58 |

| Jalathan | pitsN, one min here | 09:01 |
| fsckd | Chloe did it work in 7.10 or 7.04 | 09:01 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, press Tab so that ok is selected, and press ok | 09:01 |
| Hammer- | nvidia sorry | 09:01 |

| hischild | !beryl | Hammer- | 09:02 |
| ubottu | Hammer-: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 09:02 |

| Quintin | Hey, I have a question | 09:12 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, this normally doesn't happen | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Quintin: sup? | 09:12 |
| Quintin | What's going to be faster... 2x IDE drives in RAID 0 , or 1x SATA drive | 09:12 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, try restarting | 09:12 |
| pitsN | Jalathan: ok in a sec .. | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Quintin: i'd shoot for raid | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | althout 2 x SATA > 2 x PATA | 09:13 |
| Slart | Quintin: raid if you've got a dedicated chip.. not sure if it still applies if you're using software raid | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | its not much more for SATA you know | 09:13 |
| tico | hello | 09:13 |
| Quintin | hmm | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi tico | 09:14 |
| ubottu | Factoid hi tico not found | 09:14 |
| Quintin | well I want to do software raid 0 on my desktop | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | tico | 09:14 |
| ubottu | tico: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 09:14 |
| tico | how are you | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tico: not bad man, your Ubuntu system all groovy? | 09:14 |
| Jalathan | Quintin, be careful using 0, if anything were to happen to the raid, recovery is harder (if i remember correctly) | 09:14 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: sorry what means groovy? | 09:15 |
| Chloe | fserve, I ran the command it made a back I am going to reboot | 09:15 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: ? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tico: groovy == happy == working == ok == no issues | 09:16 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: ok | 09:16 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: sorry ! yes everything fine just trying to boot faster | 09:16 |
| blizzkid | Is there anyone here with a howtoforge.com subscription in here who would be kind enough to download me 1 pdf? | 09:17 |
| pitsN | Jalathan: me back :) what's next step to update resolution from 1440*900 to 1280*800 ? | 09:17 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: but ... i don't have good results | 09:17 |
| gejr | pitsN: xrandr -s 1280x800 .. see if it works | 09:17 |
| lenatis | which book is the best for introducing TCP/IP?From the foundation | 09:17 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: i try to erase splash, use profile | 09:17 |
| gejr | pitsN: if it does, throw it in as one of the modes in your xorg.conf | 09:17 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, (this can also be done) does the resolution chooser show the option for 1280x800? | 09:18 |
| tico | ActionParsnip: but the same. no big difference | 09:18 |
| logixoul | Guys, I'm trying to upgrade Dapper to Edgy. But `update-manager -c` says my system is up to date. Why's that? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | logixoul: try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:18 |
| pitsN | Jalathan: no option found for 1280*800. | 09:18 |
| logixoul | ActionParsnip: I did, it updated a bunch of packages, but I'm still at dapper. | 09:19 |
| tico | logixoul: try sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install, then try sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:19 |
| pitsN | gejr: Jalathan :xrandr -s 1280x800 what this for ? | 09:19 |
| gejr | it sets resolution to 1280x800 | 09:19 |
| pitsN | gejr: Jalathan : it says: size not found :) | 09:20 |
| mycroftiv | logixoul: to upgrade between versions you need to change where your sources.list points at | 09:20 |
| logixoul | tico: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded" | 09:20 |
| logixoul | mycroftiv: ah, I figured there was more to it :) thanks | 09:20 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, i have to apoligize, but i need to get off due to the time | 09:20 |
| pitsN | Jalathan: thanks for the help though :) | 09:21 |
| Jalathan | gejr, could you help pitsN complete the process? | 09:21 |
| Jalathan | pitsN, no problem | 09:21 |
| pitsN | :) | 09:21 |
| mycroftiv | logixoul: you have a file called /etc/apt/sources.list with the URLs for your software update repositories. If you find the URLs for Edgy and change to them, then apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade should upgrade you between versions BUT | 09:21 |

| mycroftiv | logixoul: yes i think there is more difference in the urls than just the single word | 09:24 |

| ubottu | FuRom: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

| ne2k__ | I have a suggestion for a shortcut for Firefox. a rocker gestures that does the following: (Back, Forward:NewTab) | 09:47 |
| ne2k__ | I often click on a link and wish I'd opened it in a new tab; I have to go back and click on it again with a different button | 09:48 |
| ihab | Kartagis , im in that folder..should i unpack the package after it has already been installed? | 09:48 |
| Kartagis | ihab: I don't think so | 09:48 |
| tobago | i installed screenlets and tried to config clearweather (setting the zip code of weather.com), but it seems to get no connect. | 09:49 |

| \kG | ? | 09:49 |
| mycroftiv | \kg: what format is the partition in? | 09:50 |
| ihab | Kartagis , another question if u dont mind.. when i download and install a game off synpatic for example..a shortcut should appear in applications /games right? | 09:50 |
| Kartagis | ihab: normally it should | 09:50 |
| ihab | Kartagis , what if it doesnt ? what should i do? | 09:50 |
| ne2k__ | ihab: you can do dpkg -l package-name and look for what it installed where, and then just run the executable directly | 09:51 |
| ihab | ne2k__ , thnx a lot | 09:52 |
| Kartagis | ihab: go to System|Preferences|Main Menu and insert the shortcut manually | 09:52 |
| tech0007 | ne2k__: ihab: dpkg -L package | 09:52 |
| mycroftiv | ihab: you should be able to start the game just by typing its name into a terminal (assuming the binary executable is called something obvious), not everything uses the menu system | 09:52 |
| ne2k__ | ihab: sorry, I meant -L, not -l. I knew it was one and not the other! ;-) | 09:52 |
| glitsj16 | tobago: and it works with an other zip-code ? or with none of them ? | 09:53 |
| ne2k__ | ihab: dpkg -L package |grep \/bin\/ will show you everything it installed in any bin directory | 09:53 |

| ne2k__ | tobago: can you reach weather.com otherwise? is it resolvable? can you get to the internet? | 09:56 |

| kwk | ne2k_: Are you kidding? This is not lol This is arrrrggh | 09:56 |
| tech0007 | doctorow: check power management | 09:56 |

| glitsj16 | ninjaduck: hope it's of good use, yw | 09:58 |
| ne2k__ | kwk: what does your hardware raid bios say is the status of the array? | 09:58 |
| mycroftiv | benikenya: NFS is pretty easy to setup for file sharing, or ssh is good too, or you could even just use stuff like wget and apache depending on what your needs are | 09:58 |
| tobago | glitsj16, ne2k__ but a ping to weather.com does not reach the resource. | 09:58 |
| ne2k__ | benikenya: depends what you need to do? | 09:58 |

| tobago | ne2k__, glitsj16 then i was redirected to the proxy. | 09:59 |

| benikenya | with hardy i've had a problem sharing the home folder, or any other folder for that matter | 09:59 |
| ne2k__ | kwk: what level of raid do you have? do you mean a failure with the raid controller itself or with one or more of the disks? | 09:59 |

| Eararaldor1 | hello | 10:01 |
| ne2k__ | kwk: it could be coincidence, of course. your raid controller just happened to die at the same time you tried out ubuntu | 10:01 |
| Eararaldor1 | is anyone availble for help | 10:01 |
| mycroftiv | benikenya: hmm i just googled for 'nfs on hardy heron' and the first links were to a bugzilla report about 'internal error' message when trying to mount | 10:01 |
| ne2k__ | Eararaldor1: just ask your question and wait. read the channel topic | 10:01 |
| kwk | ne2k__: :( forget it | 10:02 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: Check out fetchyahoo | 10:02 |
| ne2k__ | kwk: what exactly does the raid controller say? can you get into its bios? | 10:02 |
| Flannel | !ask | Eararaldor1 | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Eararaldor1: 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. :-) | 10:02 |
| kwk | n2k__: No we can boot windows again. | 10:02 |
| Bodsda_ | Flannel, i can recieve mail, its sending it thats the prob. | 10:02 |
| Eararaldor1 | ok bit of a noob when using umbuntu. Basically I'm trying to install the NVIDIA drivers on this laptop but keep getting need to install into root, however when i try and stick the file into root i get permission dednied.....? | 10:03 |
| tobago | glitsj16, mmh. other resources seem to be pingable. | 10:03 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: Ah. maybe hotsmtp? I don't know if that support yahoo. | 10:04 |
| Flannel | !nvidia Eararaldor1 | 10:04 |
| ubottu | Flannel: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:04 |
| Flannel | !nvidia | Eararaldor1 | 10:04 |
| mycroftiv | eararaldor1: two different uses of 'root' -- there is the 'root' user who has full authority to change all files on the system, and the 'root' directory. I think you need to have root privileges (in other words, sudo or enter an admin password), not to intstall into the root directory. | 10:04 |
| ubottu | Eararaldor1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:04 |
| glitsj16 | tobago: could be a temporary outage i guess | 10:04 |
| erdem_ | #ubuntu-tr | 10:04 |
| Bodsda_ | Flannel, hotsmtp?? whats the server name? hotsmtp.blah.blah.com ?? | 10:05 |
| Flannel | Eararaldor1: Is there something wrong with the Restricted Drivers manager? | 10:05 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: hotsmtp is a package | 10:05 |
| _adriaan | hi all | 10:05 |
| tobago | glitsj16, but the page (port 80) is available. but the server itself is not? | 10:05 |

| tobago | don't understand. | 10:05 |

| glitsj16 | tobago: i have no idea sorry, are ther other screenlets working ok ? | 10:06 |
| _adriaan | my icons in gnome notification area are not properly refreshed (I can see older icons beneath newer ones), anyone know what causes it? | 10:06 |
| mebius | русские есть? | 10:06 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: see 'man chown' | 10:06 |

| jackinloadup | tech0007, will do.. brb ;-) | 10:06 |

| Blue112 | Oups, sorry >_< | 10:08 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: You'd point your mailclient at localhost probably, and some odd port. Probably in the configs | 10:08 |
| Blue112 | Hello everyone | 10:08 |
| ne2k__ | Blue112: Oups, lol ;-) | 10:08 |
| Blue112 | How can I launch something at the pc start ? | 10:08 |
| Bodsda_ | Flannel, ok, lol,. i really dont understand this | 10:08 |
| Flannel | Eararaldor1: What do you mean doesn't do anything after that? | 10:08 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: basically, your client connects to an SMTP server sitting on your machine (that program) and then that goes out and talks to yahoo. | 10:09 |
| tech0007 | Blue112: /etc/rc.local | 10:09 |
| Blue112 | tech0007, can I choose to launch it as root ? | 10:09 |
| ne2k__ | Blue112: /etc/rc<x>.d/ has links to scripts that start and stop at various runlevels | 10:09 |
| ne2k__ | Blue112: what do you want to run at startup? | 10:09 |
| tico | Blue112: go to system - sessions | 10:09 |
| Bodsda_ | Flannel, yeah, but what should i put in the server line, you said localhost, but then how would i know what random port to use? | 10:09 |
| tech0007 | Blue112: yup | 10:09 |
| Flannel | !bum | Blue112 | 10:09 |
| solid_liq | anyone else had a problem with compiz not working after a hardy install? | 10:09 |
| ubottu | Blue112: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 10:09 |
| tico | Blue112: then startup programs | 10:09 |
| Blue112 | I want to launch apache & mysql (which I compile myself) | 10:09 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: Check the config file, as I'm sure its a configuration option | 10:10 |

| ubottu | Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 10:10 |
| Bodsda_ | Flannel, what config file? | 10:10 |
| tech0007 | Blue112: consult the docs of both apps for startup | 10:10 |
| chrols | Hello, my Firefox can't connect to anywhere. I've checked that the proxy is right and also after I found some advice on google disabled ipv6, however it didn't seem to help. I can't even visit sites on the LAN when I punch in the iP. Anyone got any suggestion? | 10:10 |
| Blue112 | I don't really understand the rc.local syntax... | 10:11 |
| mycroftiv | chrols: but your other network software all works? you have an IP and everything? | 10:11 |
| Flannel | Bodsda_: no idea. /etc/hotsmtp? check out the man page. Doesn't look like the package itself has a config file. | 10:11 |
| adred | helo, help me change the permission of my backup disk please...heres' the link of the data when i sudo fdisk -l:http://paste.ubuntu.com/19246/. | 10:11 |
| tech0007 | Blue112: you enter commands as you enter them in terminal | 10:11 |
| jackinloadup | tech0007, so im thinking i should use usermod to change my uid then use chown on my home file like so: chown -hR jackinloadup /home/jackinloadup | 10:11 |
| Bodsda_ | Flannel, kk,.cheers dude | 10:11 |
| rohan | chrols: what error do you get when you try? | 10:11 |
| jackinloadup | seems like that would work? | 10:11 |
| Blue112 | tech0007, they will be launch as root ? | 10:11 |
| Blue112 | I have to add sudo ? | 10:11 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: yup, if ownership is the problem | 10:11 |
| tech0007 | Blue112: no need for sudo | 10:12 |
| chrols | rohan: It takes a long while and after that I get the standard "Can not connect page" | 10:12 |
| Blue112 | tech0007, thanks :) | 10:12 |
| jackinloadup | tech0007, i will try it out thanks ^_^ | 10:12 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: put your startups before the 'exit 0' line | 10:12 |
| chrols | rohan: "The requested adress is not responding..." albeit localized | 10:13 |
| jackinloadup | tech0007, what do u mean the exit 0 line? | 10:13 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: you really dont want apache running as root unless youve set up a good chroot jail or something anyway | 10:13 |
| munotme | where i can download ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| rohan | chrols: strange. does NetworkManager report as connected? | 10:13 |
| wild_oscar | morning! | 10:13 |
| Blue112 | mycroftiv, I didn't set any chroot or other. | 10:14 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: /etc/rc.local doesnt run anything by default...there is an 'exit o' at the last line of the file | 10:14 |
| Blue112 | How can I make it run on other user ? | 10:14 |
| wild_oscar | what package does one choose in ubuntu launchpad BUGS when the problem is at login? | 10:14 |
| chrols | rohan: Yes, everything else works. | 10:14 |
| gnomefreak | munotme: ubuntu.com | 10:14 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: apache configuration is off-topic here, there is a ton of documentation and info on it and a channel here | 10:14 |
| tech0007 | Blue112: you should really read the apache/mysql docs | 10:14 |
| gnomefreak | wild_oscar: gdm or kdm | 10:14 |
| chrols | rohan: Pidgin, Skype, xchat, etc etc. Epiphany works well for browsing | 10:15 |
| gnomefreak | wild_oscar: depending if its gnome or kde login screeen | 10:15 |
| rohan | chrols: strange, did it happen after the update to ff3rc1? | 10:15 |
| wild_oscar | cheers, gnomefreak | 10:15 |
| wild_oscar | it's gnome | 10:15 |
| Blue112 | I think my apache already running as "nobody" user | 10:15 |
| wols | wild_oscar: graphical login? your display manager | 10:15 |
| Blue112 | Is that good ? | 10:15 |
| wols | Blue112: unlikely. it runs as "www-data" by default | 10:15 |
| ne2k__ | can anyone tell me the difference between the DSCP and TOS targets in iptables, and help me to work out which one I want? | 10:15 |
| wols | ne2k__: #iptables | 10:16 |
| wild_oscar | wols: sound - I hear the sound of my tv capture card for 2 seconds before the login sound | 10:16 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: i will give you a tip: ubuntu has a sensible default apache configuration, you could pull it out of the package without installing anything and modify it to your purposes, it has sane defaults | 10:16 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: hold that thought please i want to read your isssue | 10:16 |
| chrols | rohan: No, it wasn't in conjunction to any upgrade things broke. But it is ff3rc1. | 10:16 |
| Blue112 | mycroftiv, i've build it from the source. | 10:16 |
| wols | wild_oscar: what TV or capture related programs do you run? | 10:16 |
| pabix | Hello, is there a way to transform easily a symbolic link into a normal link? | 10:16 |
| Eararaldor1 | is there a reason why restricted drivers manager is not showing in my administration list? | 10:16 |
| jackinloadup | tech0007, i dont understand how that would help my uid problem? in any case i cant think of anything that "i" tell to startup. everything should be default | 10:16 |
| wols | wild_oscar: especially directly on startup | 10:16 |
| rohan | chrols: ok, then what exactly happened, that caused it to stop working? | 10:16 |
| rohan | chrols: can you make a new user and try? | 10:16 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: I understand that! thats why i said pull the configuration file out of the package without installing the package, then modify it to suit your setup, if you are confused about getting started with configuration | 10:16 |
| ne2k__ | wols: thanks | 10:17 |
| adred | helo, help me change the permission of my backup disk please...heres' the link of the data when i sudo fdisk -l:http://paste.ubuntu.com/19246/. i tried to configure fstab but the backup disk is not listed there.. | 10:17 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: sorry, that wasnt meant for you | 10:17 |
| gis | hi i'm tring to enable ftp on my ubuntu, but i get these error : http://rafb.net/p/DRDJYi92.html | 10:17 |
| chrols | rohan: Well I used to connect with a router but now my machine is directly connected which made me suspect faulty proxy settings, but it's set to direct connect | 10:17 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: can you please try with a new profile? instructions can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs | 10:17 |
| wild_oscar | wols: I used tvtime and mythtv | 10:18 |
| wols | !permissions | adred | 10:18 |
| ubottu | adred: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 10:18 |
| Blue112 | mycroftiv, but how can I get the configuration file without installing the package ? | 10:18 |
| tech0007 | adred: whats the problem w/ permissions | 10:18 |
| wild_oscar | wols: tvtime is not working at the moment, though...can't change video input to my capture card! | 10:18 |
| rohan | chrols: as i said, could you try making a new user? | 10:18 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: rohan please let me know what you find out. i need any regressions before pushing RC2 into repos | 10:18 |
| adred | tech007 i cant write on my back up disk. obviously i have to change its permission but it is not listed in fstab. how can i make visible in fstab file? | 10:19 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: rohan for new user start firefox from terminal with firefox -ProfileManager | 10:19 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: packages come in .deb files, which are a particular kind of archive. you can just open up the .deb similar to a tarball and look at whats inside it. | 10:20 |
| wild_oscar | wols: (it defaulted to /dev/video0, video dev is video1...it works with /dev/video1) - why were you asking it? | 10:20 |
| jeremy_ | iou-ou | 10:20 |
| Blue112 | mycroftiv, thanks, i'll take a look. | 10:20 |
| adred | tech0007 i cant write on my back up disk. obviously i have to change its permission but it is not listed in fstab. how can i make visible in fstab file? | 10:20 |
| chrols | gnomefreak: I moved my .mozilla away, however my fresh firefox isn't connecting either | 10:20 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: does it give output if you run in terminal? | 10:21 |
| adred | if you chech this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19246/ the disk is sdb1 but when i look at the fstab, it's not there... | 10:21 |
| Myrtti | eatmyhead: what are you up to? | 10:21 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: did it work? | 10:21 |
| Blue112 | mycroftiv, i've downloaded the apache package but I can't find any configuration file into. | 10:22 |
| adred | tech0007: if you chech this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19246/ the disk is sdb1 but when i look at the fstab, it's not there... | 10:22 |
| tech0007 | adred: /dev/sdb1 /media/backup ext3 rw,auto | 10:22 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: there are a lot of good dpkg related commandline tools for working with .debs. I think the gdebi-gtk included in ubuntu can at least show you the individual files in a .deb | 10:22 |
| chrols | gnomefreak: Nothing from terminal | 10:22 |
| tech0007 | adred: /media/backup dir should exist | 10:22 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: is it all sites or just a couple | 10:22 |
| eatmyhead | just goofing off today | 10:22 |
| gnomefreak | chrols: please join me in #ubuntu-mozillateam me and our lead maintainer are there | 10:22 |
| tech0007 | adred: /dev/sdb1 /media/backup ext3 rw,auto 0 0 | 10:22 |

| tech0007 | adred: no, add that to /etc/fstab | 10:23 |
| adred | tech0007: ok | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | adred: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 10:23 |

| ubottu | Agrajag: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 10:24 |
| Blue112 | mycroftiv, apache default configuration says it runs as $APACHE_RUN_USER, what is that , | 10:24 |
| glitsj16 | adred: "sudo blkid" will give you all UUID's i believe | 10:24 |
| mycroftiv | blue112: i dunno, i run apache from the ubuntu repos and use the standard config and thats all i know, sorry | 10:25 |
| wild_oscar | wols: ? | 10:25 |

| rohan | chrols: i'm sorry, you said anything? my net is problematic | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cjsstables: i believe so, theres gyachei too | 10:26 |
| tech0007 | adred: so its UUID=(the uuid) /media/backup ext3 rw,user,auto 0 0 | 10:26 |
| wols | wild_oscar: if your tvcard is directly plugged in to line-in of the soundcard it's probably your sound daemon | 10:26 |
| huangpeng | 你好 | 10:26 |

| glitsj16 | Bodsda: did you look in the .iini file ? that's similar to conf so i guess there should be some relevant info in there .. | 10:29 |

| adred | tech0007: not yet, i want to make it as a backup | 10:30 |
| rohan | doctorow: kubuntu does that by default. in gnome-power-manager try to search for something like "lock screen on resume" | 10:30 |
| rohan | chrols: so, the problem is solved? | 10:30 |
| huangpeng | chanServ | 10:30 |
| drugo | hello | 10:30 |

| ActionParsnip | !hi | drugo | 10:30 |
| ubottu | drugo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 10:30 |
| Bodsda_ | ActionParsnip, hey, i downloaded ypops but have no idea how to install it | 10:31 |
| glitsj16 | Bodsda: the SmtpPort=5025, enter that in your mail client as port number ? Or what are you trying to achieve ? | 10:31 |
| drugo | do you know a program that can cut scenes from a dvd-video? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Bodsda_: what did you download? | 10:31 |
| doctorow | Rohan, there's nothing like that in Gnome -> System -> pPrefernces -> Power Manager | 10:31 |
| huangpeng | how to make friends ? | 10:31 |
| adred | tech0007: il try it.. | 10:31 |
| huangpeng | tech0007 how | 10:32 |
| Flannel | huangpeng: try #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 10:32 |
| u007 | anyone know if i could check if firefox is actually using pulse for the flash? | 10:32 |
| rohan | doctorow: strange, though i'm not so sure :( | 10:32 |
| Bodsda_ | glitsj16, this thin is apparently meant to allow me to send yahoo mail in thunderbird | 10:32 |

| rohan | gnomefreak: since chrols seems to be away, would you know if his problem is solved? | 10:32 |
| Bodsda_ | ActionParsnip, the link you ave me about thunderbird sending yahoo mail, told me to install ypops | 10:32 |
| gnomefreak | rohan: it looks as if it is | 10:32 |
| rohan | gnomefreak: ah okay | 10:33 |
| chrols | rohan: Sorry about not answering but my problem is more or less solved | 10:33 |
| Bodsda_ | ActionParsnip, this is the contents of the folder -- http://pastebin.com/f6651a2f3 | 10:33 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: you can just add them to your panel, rightclick then add | 10:33 |
| rohan | chrols: oh ok | 10:33 |
| doctorow | Does anyone know how to get Gutsy to prompt for a password after resuming from suspend/hibernate? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Bodsda_: oh? weird, thought theyd just give access to their smtp stuff, gimme a sec | 10:33 |
| bzrk | does anyone know how to change the sequence in which modules are loaded by the kernel? | 10:34 |
| Bodsda_ | ActionParsnip, ty, the download link if you wanna have a proper look is - http://email.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=email&cdn=compute&tm=4&f=00&su=p284.8.150.ip_&tt=4&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.ypopsemail.com/ | 10:34 |
| Genrator | Does anyone know why the Restricted Devices Manager is not in umbuntu 8.04? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bodsda_: You can use Outlook with many Yahoo! Mail e-mail accounts. However, free Web browser-based Yahoo! Mail accounts based in China, Taiwan, or the United States can only be used in Outlook if you have a paid subscription Yahoo! Mail account that includes POP3 access and forwarding. | 10:34 |
| srf211 | Hi all. Trying to troubleshoot a problem that i am having building the module/driver for the Reattek rtl8110SC nic. Getting a "No such file or directory" error. | 10:34 |

| bzrk | tech0007 thx | 10:34 |
| jackinloadup | tech0007, yeah tried that.. :-( it doesnt show up its just create folder and stuff. just to clarify there are no panels launched at the moment and trying to launch them manually fails | 10:35 |
| chrols | rohan: Thanks for the help | 10:35 |
| Genrator | Bodsda: ahh wondered about that, cheers. | 10:35 |
| Bodsda_ | ActionParsnip, correct but ypops is supposed to allow thunderbird to use free yahoo mail to send mail | 10:35 |
| srf211 | I have followed the steps in the last post of this thread, but no dice. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=629878&highlight=rtl8110sc | 10:35 |
| rohan | chrols: no problem, i didn't help anyway ;) just curious to know, how was it solved/ | 10:35 |
| glitsj16 | Bodsda: there's an extension that has similar capabilities here, and that seems to be better documented http://webmail.mozdev.org/index.html | 10:35 |
| tech0007 | jackinloadup: just exactly what happend before this? | 10:35 |
| erUSUL | doctorow: open the gconf-editor (alt+ f2 gconf-editor <enter>) go to apps->gnome-power-manager->lock check settings there | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Bodsda_: ok, so what have you actualy downloaded, an archive? a deb? | 10:36 |

| Bodsda_ | ActionParsnip, well not me glitsj16 found it ;~) | 10:37 |
| chrols | rohan: Well turns out it is a problem with the chroot I am running firefox from rather than firefox itself, though strangely it didn't mind the chroot until recently | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cool | 10:37 |
| glitsj16 | Bodsda: i'll cut that line out of my screen lol, you're welcome | 10:37 |

| Jalathan | poypoy, you can create a "shortcut" on the menu, by r. clicking on Applications > edit menu > Games > + New Item. Fill in the application's information for the title, command is 'armyops', and the icon can be changed via clicking on the "spring". i _think_ that the icon is there. | 10:43 |

| arnuld | I just installed Gutsy Gibbon and dist-upgrade(d) it | 10:57 |
| gr33b | hi | 10:57 |
| Jalathan | psypointer, so what you want the deb to do is to install itself, regardless of any issues with needing this or that? | 10:57 |
| arnuld | but there is no inittab file in UBUNTU | 10:57 |
| arnuld | how can I edit the number of ttys ? | 10:57 |
| arnuld | I want to have 3 ttys, not 6 by default | 10:58 |
| bzrk | arnuld edit /etc/inittab | 10:58 |
| bzrk | does anyone know how to change the sequence in which modules are loaded by the kernel(udev)? | 10:59 |
| psypointer | Jalathan: no, the problem is that the debian installer downloads this package when starting - base component it says. if it tries to load the libntfs-3g23-udeb it fails and the debian installer gives me a red screen and foo. preseed is deactivated after this but i need a) a automatic installation which works headless and b) a working preseed until the installation is finished | 10:59 |
| erUSUL | arnuld: move the /etc/event.d/tty* files you do not need to another name (for example tty5.disabled) | 10:59 |
| erUSUL | arnuld: e.g. sudo mv /etc/event.d/tty6 /etc/event.d/tty6.disabled) and so on | 10:59 |
| psypointer | and i dont need ntfs support on the machines here, so if i could deactivate the loading of the ntfs debs as base components that would be okay @ Jalathan | 10:59 |

| _empemp_ | gparted has just screwed up my ntfs partition. got it recovered by chkdsk /f but now almost all my .jpf is corrupted | 11:17 |
| _empemp_ | any way to fix this in Ubuntu or do i have to go back to xp? | 11:17 |
| wols | you cannot fix this at all unless you have backups | 11:17 |
| wols | those jpgs are not data trash | 11:18 |

| _empemp_ | amazing | 11:18 |
| _empemp_ | gparted is really a good software. | 11:18 |
| bazhang | solid_liq, stop that | 11:18 |
| wols | _empemp_: every guide in existence tells you to BACKUP before using gparted like any partitioning software | 11:19 |
| _empemp_ | been using partition magic for 8 years on xp without any data loass | 11:20 |
| _empemp_ | strange that the first time i use gparted it detroys my files | 11:20 |
| wols | doesn't matter. partition magic docs say EXACTLY the same | 11:20 |
| Jalathan | _empemp_, wols is correct. with chkdsk having been ran, i don't know if it can be undone | 11:20 |
| jscinoz | _empemp_, what were you trying to do? resize a partition or somethjing? | 11:20 |
| _empemp_ | yes | 11:20 |
| _empemp_ | i have backup of most though | 11:20 |
| _empemp_ | just some new photos from my new baby that got screwed up | 11:21 |
| jscinoz | _empemp_, resizing a partition is always risky | 11:21 |
| _empemp_ | the imagesize is the same so i was hoping that the data is still there, maybe the headers in the jpg just need to be rebuild | 11:21 |

| wols | schumaster: next time your can't run your mp3 playing program from an xterm and check for output there | 11:48 |
| jrib | Kartagis: 'man apt-get' provides a description. It installs the dependencies for building the vinagre package which are likely the same as the dependencies for the new version | 11:48 |
| RiotingPacifist | sagredo: :( i dont know i use kde, try launching it in console, alternatively you can do itthe 'hard' way and find out what gnomes window manager is called then run <window manager name> --replace from alt+f2 | 11:48 |
| jrib | brandan_: did you restart firefox? | 11:48 |
| brandan_ | jrib: yes | 11:49 |

| brandan_ | wols: about:plugins ? | 11:50 |
| jrib | jtravnick: very very hard to have such a thing as "true random" :) You can file a bug/submit a patch with a different algorithm though I suppose | 11:50 |
| RiotingPacifist | sagredo: np, sorry about th icon redherring dunno whats up with thar :s | 11:50 |
| fxarch_ | uck anyone got time to help me? | 11:50 |
| l3d | does brandon have any other plugins that could stop them from playing noscript will do that? just a thought | 11:50 |
| jrib | fxarch_: best to just ask the channel your question | 11:50 |
| sagredo | RiotingPacifist: all good :] | 11:50 |
| wols | whistler: check your smb.conf for settings of "security" | 11:51 |

| jrib | brandan_: you just type "about:plugins" in your url bar and press enter | 11:51 |

| jrib | grobda24: there's always http://www.random.org/ | 11:53 |
| jrib | brandan_: remove gnash, install adobe's flash | 11:54 |
| glitsj16 | fxarch: that's probably not ubuntu, but Flash 9 hijacking your sound .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 (part B) advises to try the Flash player 10 beta as a possible solution | 11:54 |
| brandan_ | jrib: how do i get to the menu to do that? | 11:54 |
| wols | !flash | brandan_ | 11:54 |
| ubottu | brandan_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 11:54 |
| jrib | brandan_: use your favorite package manager. System -> Administration -> Synaptic for example | 11:54 |
| conrad_ | i am having a really hard time with this error in amarok: "sound output unavailable: the device is busy". already tried so many things to no avail! | 11:55 |
| Hemebond | Notice: Whoever thought putting a Firefox BETA in 8.04 was a good idea needs to be shot. | 11:55 |
| fxarch_ | ah could very well be, since thats almsot the only thing i ahve installed after reinstalling ubuntu | 11:55 |
| jrib | Hemebond: firefox 2 is in the repositories | 11:55 |
| YouBucky | Hey All, anyone know if its possible to get compix working on one screen but the other screen remain static under one X session? | 11:55 |
| pandajsa | OH,it;s a good pllace to study English... | 11:55 |
| glitsj16 | conrad: which "engine" do you use with Amarok ? | 11:56 |
| rsk | Hemebond: if ff2 was in it, the support would stop before the lTS period has ended. | 11:56 |
| grobda24 | jrib ... thanks :) but how to connect it to the music player ? "the next track is bought to you by atmospheric randomness" | 11:56 |
| Hemebond | jrib: Yes, but going backwards is difficult because of the changes between 2 and 3 with the bookmarks files and such. | 11:56 |
| RiotingPacifist | Hemebond: for most people firefox3 is much more stable than firefox2 | 11:56 |
| conrad_ | glitsj16: its currently on autodetect but if i try to switch engines, amarok says "no driver could be loaded" or something like that | 11:56 |
| jrib | grobda24: left as an exercise :) | 11:56 |
| l3d | ok so about my non mounting ntfs drive? | 11:56 |
| brandan_ | jrib: thanks so much...it's working now....I'm glad to be a part of Ubuntu :-) | 11:56 |
| Hemebond | RiotingPacifist: An update was just released, RC2 I believe, and I now get corrupt profiles. | 11:56 |
| Hemebond | Yay. | 11:56 |
| RiotingPacifist | Hemebond: export bookmarks then import into firefox2 | 11:57 |
| jtravnick | Hemebond, firefox updated today off of beta | 11:57 |
| glitsj16 | conrad: try setting it to pulseaudio or xine (http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup) | 11:57 |
| grobda24 | jrib ... k ... :) | 11:57 |
| Hemebond | jtravnick: Yes, RC2. Corrupting my profile. | 11:57 |
| ben_underscore | Hemebond: try out epiphany - a lot more lightweight than firefox | 11:57 |
| conrad_ | glitsj16: switched to pulseaudio now, didn't get the error about the driver but i still get the error: "audio output unavailable: the device is busy" | 11:58 |
| RiotingPacifist | Hemebond: how have you installed RC2 the repos version is still 3b5 | 11:58 |
| Hemebond | RiotingPacifist: It was an update apprently. | 11:58 |
| Hemebond | I installed some updates last night. | 11:58 |
| ben_underscore | Hemebond: my experiences here http://dollarunderscore.wordpress.com/?s=epiphany | 11:58 |
| gribouille | where can I find an old version of a package ? | 11:59 |
| Hemebond | Then my extensions were broken, wouldn't update, and my profile was corrupt. | 11:59 |
| glitsj16 | conrad: try re-starting pulseaudio, "killall pulseaudio" and "pulseaudio -D" to bring it back up | 11:59 |
| Hemebond | I just created and entirely new .mozilla dir and it corrupted after Firefox just closed. | 11:59 |
| conrad_ | glitsj16: did that, still get the error | 12:00 |
| glitsj16 | RiotingPacifist: hardy-proposed has rc2 i think | 12:00 |
| gribouille | where can I find an old version of a package ? | 12:00 |
| gnomefreak | glitsj16: it will not sure if it has been published yet but should be soon if not already | 12:01 |
| glitsj16 | conrad_: try shutting down all audio apps you have open | 12:01 |
| RiotingPacifist | Hemebond: did you do this while mozilla was running, all i can suggest is to create a blank profile if that doesnt get coroupted then use something like FEBE to move all your stuff across | 12:01 |
| Hemebond | RiotingPacifist: Yes, I will have to export everything from 3 and import into 2. | 12:02 |
| Hemebond | Pain. | 12:02 |
| gnomefreak | glitsj16: sounds like your issue will be fixed in flash 10. i have it in my PPA along with libflashsupport that you will need | 12:02 |
| RiotingPacifist | glitsj16: yeah just noticed that it has been updated saves me the effort of doing it manually | 12:02 |
| Hemebond | Ubuntu should not be beta testing this shit. | 12:02 |
| gnomefreak | sorry not glitsj16 but conrad_ | 12:02 |
| Hemebond | I haven't been able to empty my GMail spam folder because of a rendering bug in 3. | 12:02 |
| gnomefreak | Hemebond: it has to and its pretty much final release. oh and never remove ~/.mozilla or change from ff2>3 and back | 12:03 |
| RiotingPacifist | Hemebond: you could alwas have installed firefox2 from the start, if you dont want to test anything new either, remove all the new stuff from your ubuntu install or go with debian | 12:03 |
| conrad_ | gnomefreak: i guess that's right, firefox is hogging the sound | 12:03 |
| kholerabbi | hey can I use a hardy version of gnome-do in gutsy? | 12:03 |
| gnomefreak | conrad_: its flash bug not ff bug | 12:03 |
| jrib | Hemebond: remember, this is a support channel. No one here can address the fact that firefox beta is default | 12:03 |
| conrad_ | gnomefreak: yes, i mean it's something in firefox, a web page with flash | 12:03 |
| triplegote | hi, is there a reason ntp-simple isn't available from 8.04's default package repositories? | 12:03 |
| gribouille | WHERE CAN I FIND AN OLD VERSION OF A PACKAGE ? | 12:03 |
| gnomefreak | knnot supported | 12:03 |
| gnomefreak | kholerabbi: not supported | 12:04 |
| gnomefreak | gribouille: please dont use caps | 12:04 |
| kholerabbi | gnomefreak: damn.. thanks | 12:04 |
| Hemebond | jrib: Sorry. Don't need support. Needed to whinge. | 12:04 |
| RiotingPacifist | gribouille: i think its around if you use a GUI package manager or aptitude | 12:04 |
| gordonjcp | Hemebond: #ubuntu-offtopic, then ;-) | 12:04 |
| RiotingPacifist | Hemebond: try /dev/null | 12:04 |
| Hemebond | gordonjcp: Cheers. | 12:04 |
| gnomefreak | conrad_: see if installing flash 10 and libflashsupport from https://edge.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/+archive works | 12:04 |
| glitsj16 | griboulle: how old ? in Synaptic you can force a version .. | 12:04 |

| glitsj16 | gribouille: well that ought to be doable that way, don't know of any apt command to do that, must be possible as well if you don't like Synaptics GUI | 12:06 |
| gnomefreak | jrib: it does but searching LP can be a pain thats why i sent to p.u.c | 12:06 |

| remfarkas | hi, anyone succesfully installed ubuntu hardy on ann asus a6r? | 12:15 |
| conrad_ | gnomefreak: i installed those two packages, put the problem persists after a reboot | 12:15 |
| jrib | Kartagis: which means you need to compile that too. Be sure you know what you are doing (ie don't go replacing all your libraries) | 12:15 |
| glitsj16 | gribouille: that's why everybody advises you to not do it lol | 12:15 |
| gribouille | glitsj16, but I never intended to do it | 12:15 |
| ReVoLveR | jack_sparrow, sorry I donno what metacity even, its been only 2 week since Im using Xubuntu | 12:16 |
| gnomefreak | conrad_: than search on bugs.launchpad.net for your bug or file a new one. It maybe pulseaudio problem | 12:16 |
| gribouille | glitsj16, I just want to install the version that was previously on my system | 12:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVoLveR open a terminal.. aplications,, accessories terminal | 12:16 |
| gnomefreak | ReVoLveR: metacity is default Wm for gnome | 12:16 |
| ne2k__ | gribouille: is the package still in your /var/apt/cache? | 12:16 |
| ne2k__ | gribouille: I mean /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 12:17 |
| gnomefreak | gribouille: apt-cache policy packagename | 12:17 |
| ReVoLveR | jack-sparrow: terminal is already open here. what do you want me to type there? | 12:17 |
| ne2k__ | gribouille: you could install it manually if so | 12:17 |
| jrib | gribouille: apt-cache policy lirc shows two packages here. Is one of them, the one you want? | 12:17 |
| gnomefreak | if the version you want is there install it using = or synaptic | 12:17 |
| gribouille | ne2k__, no | 12:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVoLveR metacity --replace to start | 12:17 |
| ne2k__ | gribouille: I didn't ask you a question | 12:17 |
| ReVoLveR | The program 'metacity' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 12:18 |
| gnomefreak | ReVoLveR: are you using kde? | 12:19 |
| glitsj16 | gribouille: 0.8.2 is only availbale in gutsy repo's .. might not be policy, but you can try changing your software sources for a moment (don't do any upgrades or other installs while you do this) and it might do the trick | 12:19 |
| ReVoLveR | I'm using Xubuntu | 12:19 |
| gribouille | <ne2k__> gribouille: is the package still in your /var/apt/cache? | 12:19 |
| gnomefreak | ReVoLveR: thats why | 12:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVoLveR type metacity --replace | 12:19 |
| gnomefreak | ReVoLveR: it uses xfvm or something along those lines | 12:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVoLveR type compiz --replace | 12:19 |
| ReVoLveR | Jack_Sparrow: thats the msg which came when I typed it. | 12:19 |
| gnomefreak | Jack_Sparrow: metacity isnt used in xfce | 12:19 |
| gribouille | glitsj16, but it was previously available for hardy, wasn't it ? | 12:20 |
| glitsj16 | ReVoLveR: in that case --> xfwm4 --replace & | 12:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sorry guys, just trying to wake up this am | 12:20 |
| gnomefreak | and compiz isnt installed or on by default in xfce | 12:20 |
| gnomefreak | i cant remember the exact reason or even if it has changed but IIRC hardy didnt use it in xubuntu | 12:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gnomefreak did I miss something.. earlier he was asking how to kill it, then that he lost the window decorations so I had to assume he had it installed | 12:21 |
| ReVoLveR | Jack_Sparrow: it said compiz isn't installed, shall I install it too? | 12:21 |
| FuRom | I have a Phillips GoGear SA60xx, and in the gnome-device-manager, it shows up as a storage device (which is good, because that's what it is), but I don't know how to access the device as just a directory. I've seen a couple of things that might possibly work for accessing the device, but I just need simple folder-based access to the device. It doesn't just show up in nautilus like my USB flash drive is, so, I'm really baffled about how to | 12:21 |
| gnomefreak | gribouille: once you update most of time the cache is cleared so you cant get it back unless you download it from external site and install using dpkg | 12:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVoLveR earlier you asked how to kill it, why ask how to kill it if it was not installed in the first place | 12:22 |
| gnomefreak | Jack_Sparrow: IIRC he didnt have boarders he wanted a fix for it | 12:22 |
| DeepThought | something´ s very wrong with my kde3; everuthing I try to do, every aPP i START, THESCREEN OF THE APP IN QUESTION GOES GRAY AND TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE TO RESPOND OR BE READY FOR INPUT. wHAT COULD BE WRONG ? iT STARTED AFTER INSTALLING KDE4.1 BETA; i REMOVED IT, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, MAYBE THERE´ S NO CENNECTION ANYWAY... | 12:22 |
| ReVoLveR | Jack_Sparrow: I have no idea myself how this is happening :S | 12:22 |
| gribouille | gnomefreak, I'm looking for this external site | 12:22 |
| gnomefreak | DeepThought: lose the caps and try #kubuntu | 12:22 |
| gnomefreak | gribouille: i gave it to you | 12:22 |
| gribouille | gnomefreak, packages.ubuntu.com ? | 12:23 |
| gnomefreak | gribouille: what version of what package ar eyou looking for and why? | 12:23 |
| glitsj16 | FuRom: hi there ;) | 12:23 |
| Zeester | does anyone know how to edit the context menu from gnome when i click rightmousebutton on my desktop? | 12:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVoLveR the problem you describe is common when there is an error in a window decorator. Have you tried to install and window decorations, effects or how things look etc | 12:23 |
| ozkelligirl | hi all | 12:23 |
| FuRom | gkutsj16, hi ^_^ | 12:23 |
| gribouille | gnomefreak, I'm looking for lirc-0.8.2 for hardy | 12:23 |
| Baron1984 | I think it makes sense, how shiny the Windows Vista disc is, makes it easier to spot when the system gets hosed and you need it again | 12:23 |
| gnomefreak | Zeester: maybe gconf | 12:23 |
| Tiand | ........... | 12:23 |
| FuRom | glitsj16, hi ^_^* | 12:23 |
| gnomefreak | gribouille: give me a minue | 12:23 |

| Tiand | hello everybody | 12:23 |
| Tiand | I am a fresh men | 12:24 |
| Zeester | gnomefreak, I checked it but i couldn't find it, I want to add a item in the menu (for a program I want to write) | 12:24 |
| ReVoLveR | Jack_Sparrow: I have tried everything which you said and still its not working | 12:24 |
| ozkelligirl | what is the easiest distro to use? | 12:24 |
| jrib | gribouille: how are you certain the previos version was 0.8.2? | 12:24 |

| gribouille | jrib, I don't care what the previous version was. Ubuntu updated lirc to a newer version, and it doesn't work anymore. If it can't provide the version that was removed, it is just shit | 12:29 |

| glitsj16 | gribouille: it's a user community: file a bug and at least give developers achance to correct it, they might not know | 12:30 |

| gnomefreak | fxarch: not all crashes were fixed and hoestly only a few were fixed | 12:30 |

| fxarch | gnomefreak: so any other suggestions? Problem didn't occure to me on those 7.10 distros | 12:31 |
| lavidaLoca | so any suggestion how to make swap space bigger? | 12:31 |
| gnomefreak | fxarch: install 10 see if it helps if not file a bug upstream at adobe on it | 12:31 |
| ozkelligirl | what is ubuntu8.04 like? | 12:31 |

| scribawf | Can I delete earlier (Kernals) from my Grub Menu i.e 2.6.24.16 as I presently have 2.6.24.18 ? | 12:43 |
| cnajhqohfq | i need to install ubuntu generic kernel on a fresh ubuntu hardy server. but with the generic kernel, the OS will not start. How can I make the generic kernel work? Or at leash can I modify the kernel frequency without recompiling? | 12:43 |
| Kartagis | when will the new version vinagre be in repos? | 12:44 |
| sipior | scribawf: actually, removing the old kernel packages should delete those entries as well | 12:45 |
| wols | cnajhqohfq: not possible to change kernel freq. but that's not keeping the kernel from working properly | 12:45 |
| jrib | !timebasedreleases > Kartagis (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:45 |
| jrib | !backport > Kartagis (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:45 |
| sipior | scribawf: just make sure you remove the correct version ;-) | 12:45 |
| scribawf | sipior: so that indicates deleting my earlier kernerls up to the latest is OK? | 12:46 |
| cnajhqohfq | wols, i have an application which requires higher kernel frequencies (works best with kernel generic). i need to do this :) | 12:46 |
| wols | cnajhqohfq: then you have to recompile | 12:46 |
| sipior | scribawf: i generally like to keep the most immediately previous kernel version around, in case there are problems | 12:46 |
| cnajhqohfq | wols, i recompiled with the only modifications being the kernel freq and processor type, and it didn't boot up. Then I tried installing the kernel generic, and it didn't boot up. | 12:47 |
| wols | cnajhqohfq: so fix that problem first | 12:47 |

| cnajhqohfq | i'll rephrase. i installed the generic kernel within a fresh gutsy server (with apt-get install [...]). the OS will not boot up with the other kernel. How can I use the generic kernel with gutsy-server? what must I do? :) | 12:51 |
| dabbill | i have a .so file for the startup text for my blackchrome theme, how do i install it for the startup text? | 12:51 |

| simontzu | Hi Am new to IRC and new to ubuntu. I broke my system (8.04) by trying to uninstall evolution. Now there is no panel when I log-in and alt-f2 doesn't work either. Am trying to fix it via the live CD but struggling - how to I run apt-get or synaptic on my home directory...from the live CD? tried "chown root /mnt/38.5\ GB\ Media" from the command line but it says that drive does not exist. Very reluctant to reinstall... | 12:55 |
| RabidWeezle | ooh, cool | 12:55 |
| dabbill | RabidWeezle, ventrillo and ventrillo server | 12:55 |
| RabidWeezle | very good job there | 12:56 |

| Win2Ubuntu | 2 gig swap | 13:21 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu use gparted to shrink the adjacent partition and expand your swap.. how much ram etc.. | 13:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu what version of ubuntu are you running | 13:22 |
| rampageoberon | Win2Ubuntu: do "free -m" and paste the output in a pastebin | 13:22 |

| Win2Ubuntu | ive run ubuntu fine in other versions, but i had a bigger swap file, so thats why i thought do to this | 13:23 |
| Wyvern| | uhm, is it possible to see which processes is accessing a specific resource, such as a disk mount point? | 13:23 |
| rampageoberon | Win2Ubuntu: okay thats 512mb ram, of which 209 is being used. In my opinion the current setup should be okay, but to increase swap space do what Jack_Sparrow said (use gparted) | 13:24 |
| Wyvern| | Trying to unmount my home directory proves difficult as I have no clue which process is using it. | 13:24 |
| Win2Ubuntu | ok, thanks all, will give that a go | 13:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu no need to increase swap, I doubt that is the prob | 13:24 |
| Win2Ubuntu | righto, any advice in that case Jack_Sparrow? | 13:24 |

| Win2Ubuntu | ie, ill type in a command and it will simply stall | 13:28 |
| punyhuman | bonezau, tis ok... sorted | 13:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu open and freeze | 13:28 |
| BonezAU | punyhuman, are u sure? | 13:28 |
| koshari | rampageoberon ubuntu is a live gparted disc | 13:28 |
| BonezAU | punyhuman, you don't sound too confident | 13:28 |
| Win2Ubuntu | it could be that i perhaps install something | 13:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu if this is a fresh install I would suggest a reinstall, something is very wrong | 13:29 |
| Win2Ubuntu | righto, good avice, thanks :) | 13:29 |
| rampageoberon | koshari: sorry? i'm a bit confused by that, please explain | 13:29 |
| Win2Ubuntu | ill do that after exams | 13:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu did you install things manually.. if so like what | 13:29 |
| Win2Ubuntu | yeah, a few things | 13:29 |
| Win2Ubuntu | AVN, pdigin | 13:29 |
| Win2Ubuntu | xchat :-p | 13:29 |
| koshari | rampageoberon the ubuntu live cd has gpated installed by default. so if one has that they dont need the grapted live cd to use gparted | 13:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu those can be installed from the repos, did you try and build from source? | 13:30 |
| Win2Ubuntu | oh no, i dont build things from source | 13:30 |
| Win2Ubuntu | i just get the from the repos | 13:30 |
| Win2Ubuntu | sorry if im a bit dull hahaha | 13:30 |
| rampageoberon | koshari: ah i see, i usually tend to use the gparted live cd, but this info will be useful. thanks :) | 13:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | koshari The gparted livecd in some cases works better and is cleaner that gparted on the ubuntu livecd | 13:31 |
| Win2Ubuntu | ill reinstall :) | 13:31 |
| koshari | Jack_Sparrow i agree, i generally use the gparted live disc with partimage | 13:31 |
| rampageoberon | its a shame that the gparted live cd is no longer maintained (not sure if it is now) | 13:31 |
| Win2Ubuntu | thanks for ure tips | 13:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Win2Ubuntu if you didnt change sources and only use our repos then that is unlikely to be the problem | 13:31 |
| koshari | however the live version is fine 95 % of the time | 13:32 |
| Win2Ubuntu | righto. might well be the flash gui stuff | 13:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | koshari Yes, it is certainly worth the 50 meg dl | 13:32 |
| Win2Ubuntu | but, i will give it some thought and see what i find :-D | 13:32 |
| BonezAU | hi, i accidently deleted /etc/init.d/networking and now i can't browse the web. my IRC works ok though. Can anyone pls help? | 13:32 |
| Win2Ubuntu | kind regards ppl | 13:32 |

| BonezAU | Cancel that, I got the file back and now firefox is working | 13:33 |
| koshari | Jack_Sparrow i did fine that gparted wouldnt sdee some sata drives on a sys once where the ubuntu hal did | 13:33 |
| ArrowLance | hi, when i startup and grub shows me the OS's to pick from i see 3 ubuntu's a new one each time i update ubuntu. How can i get rid of those? | 13:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted | 13:33 |
| ubottu | GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 13:33 |
| rampageoberon | ArrowLance: install startupmanager and do it in there (limit kernals to say 2) | 13:33 |

| nootrope | Is there an auto-ident function in xChat? | 13:34 |
| punyhuman | Hi, I accidently deleted /home/brian/pron can someone please tell me how to restore it? It's my dad's work folder | 13:34 |
| ArrowLance | lol | 13:35 |
| BonezAU | lol @ punyhuman | 13:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rampageoberon I see the latest release of gparted as Dec 2007 | 13:35 |
| wols | nootrope: no but there are identd servers in ubuntu | 13:35 |
| BonezAU | punyhuman, how did you delete it? through the command line or through your window manager? | 13:35 |
| wols | punyhuman: is it ext3? | 13:35 |
| rampageoberon | Jack_Sparrow: yeah 0.3.4-11, i read somewhere that the person maintaining it didn't have the time and was looking for a replacement but didn't find anyone, so no newer livecd's were going to be released | 13:36 |
| nootrope | wols, not sure how to use that info... any pointer? | 13:37 |
| rampageoberon | Jack_Sparrow: actually just reading the news again, someone did take over on 8th april :) | 13:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | great | 13:37 |
| nootrope | wols, never mind i'll ask the google | 13:37 |

| willluongo | Hello, this may seem like a stupid question, but after installing kernel 2.6.24-18-generic, can I just change the number 17 in kernel 2.6.24-17-generic to 18 so grub will load the newest kernel? | 13:39 |
| wols | willluongo: you can but you shouldn't have to | 13:39 |
| recon69 | hi all, my CPU is running at a steady 80% with nothing running and cant see any process listed that is actually using the cpu that much? | 13:40 |
| ZeroA4 | willluongo, it is better to edit the grub config at /boot/grub/menu.lst | 13:40 |
| wols | recon69: top. pastebin its output | 13:40 |
| * RabidWeezle sips some vitamin water | 13:40 | |
| willluongo | wols and ZeroA4: I am sorry I think I miscommunicated... I meant can I change it in menu.lst to 18 or do I need to change any of the following information | 13:41 |
| RabidWeezle | recon69, gnome or kde? | 13:41 |
| BonezAU | willluongo, when you installed the new kernel it should have automatically updated your grub config | 13:41 |
| RabidWeezle | you can sort by cpu on the gnome-system-monitor recon69 | 13:41 |
| RabidWeezle | and it tells you what's eatin your cpu up | 13:42 |
| recon69 | RabidWeezle: gnome | 13:42 |
| wols | or with top which wokrs everywhere. even whent here is no X | 13:42 |
| BonezAU | willluongo, run update manager from gnome, press check and let it install all required updates, then reboot | 13:42 |
| willluongo | BonezAU : I had a custom list, and it asked me if I wanted to use the maintainer version or my local version | 13:42 |
| Dedi | can i add custon dcop commands to gnome global shortcuts? | 13:42 |
| RabidWeezle | alright, load up gnome-system-monitor and all will be revealed | 13:42 |
| willluongo | It is already installed, just not selectable from the boot menu | 13:42 |
| BonezAU | willluongo, ok then if you aren't too confident with the command line you could try sudo apt-get install qgrubeditor, that is a graphical interface for editing your grub config | 13:42 |
| BonezAU | willluongo, but be careful | 13:43 |
| RabidWeezle | wols, I like top in terminal, but I'm a big fan of gnome-system-monitor for easy-to-readness | 13:43 |
| recon69 | RabidWeezle: looking at it, the only thing not sleeping is the system monitor , and when i look at the cpu graph it spikes to 80-90% usage, when an not looking it seem to drop | 13:44 |
| rampageoberon | recon69: i've had that type of trouble occasionally with gnome, firefox, xorg, gnome-system-monitor all known to take up 100% CPU | 13:44 |
| simontzu | RabidWeezle: I fixed my system..checked the dpkg log and it was as easy as "apt-get install gnome-panel". Dude you have no idea how grateful I am!! I spent 5 hours this morning trying to figure out how to get to a commandline without alt+f2 working via the live CD etc..etc.... crtl+alt+f1 is not mentioned in the Ubuntu documentation, maybe its obvious for longtime linux users but I searched online for ages and couldn't find it. . I was considering a r | 13:44 |
| willluongo | BOnezAU I am good with CLI, I just wanted to know if all I had to do was change the 7 in 17 to 8 to make it boot 18. :) | 13:44 |
| rampageoberon | recon69: yes system-monitor does that | 13:44 |
| DaPutzy | sagmal wollt ihr mich verarschen?? | 13:45 |
| willluongo | For example in the line: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-17-generic root=UUID=9996891d-ef11-4aa0-901d-f9084e349ed9 ro quiet splash can I just make it say kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=9996891d-ef11-4aa0-901d-f9084e349ed9 ro quiet splash | 13:45 |
| rampageoberon | recon69: i suggest using htop from command line instead of system monitor at times | 13:45 |
| DaPutzy | jetz gehts wieder?! | 13:45 |

| BonezAU | willluongo, i would not try that if i were u. you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kernel-2.6.24-17-generic and this time when it asks you to keep current config select no | 13:46 |
| RabidWeezle | ctrl+alt+f1 changes to tty1... | 13:46 |

| BonezAU | willluongo, no | 13:47 |

| rampageoberon | RabidWeezle: would you know why I am able to get a full 100mbit over dc++ but only 45mbit over ftp? out of curiosity | 13:59 |
| RabidWeezle | your ftp server has a cap on it, it sounds | 14:01 |
| RabidWeezle | you need to go into your settings and make sure all download/upload caps are removed | 14:01 |
| RabidWeezle | or set them rediculasly high | 14:01 |
| rampageoberon | RabidWeezle: umm, how can i check, using proftpd and not seen any such cap in the conf file | 14:01 |
| RabidWeezle | umm, hold on | 14:01 |

| recon | camason: "# Move audio to a different output card without having to stop / re-open the application." I assume that's what you're looking for? | 14:23 |
| BobDingley | ok thats installed, what is amsn ment to do? | 14:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BobDingley Enable the universe repo by goint to system...admin...software sources... in there make sure the first 4 boxes are checked and close it, tell it to update as needed.. | 14:23 |

| Jack_Sparrow | BobDingley amsn is another im for msn | 14:24 |
| camason | recon, yes. But I think I need to actually set up the hardware-level stuff first. I'm unsure if both outputs are being recodnised in ubuntu yet. It's treating them as a single output. (In windows, an option needs to be ticked to set up the multiple-monitors) | 14:24 |
| BobDingley | ah ok | 14:24 |
| camason | recon, pulseaudio monitor shows a single output device at the moment | 14:24 |

| rhalff | hi, I get a segmentation fault upgrading udev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19335/ | 14:28 |
| recon | microwaver: are we talking about gthumb or comix? | 14:28 |
| BobDingley | ok, just updated through the terminal by 'sudo apt-get update' correct? | 14:28 |
| glitsj16 | cjohnson: you can easily do that with your editor of choice, needs root permissions though | 14:28 |
| rhalff | that's a known bug, or just a broken setup for me ? | 14:28 |
| cjohnson | glitsj16, I can't boot into ubuntu, which is why I'm trying to remove quiet from the boot option, so I can see the error. I'm in windows now | 14:29 |
| rampageoberon | BobDingley: that updates the repository list so all the applications available and so | 14:29 |
| rampageoberon | BobDingley: to upgrade sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 14:29 |
| glitsj16 | cjohnson: i see, without those you're blind indeed, goodluck | 14:29 |
| microwaver | recon, comix. You just have to load in a .rar file but it doesnt really do anything | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BobDingley yes | 14:29 |
| recon | microwaver: Do you have one of the unrar packages installed? | 14:30 |

| harfg209 | Im sure there is I just cant rember it | 14:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rampageoberon All we were trying to do was install amsn from universe | 14:30 |
| recon | microwaver: apt-get install unrar or apt-get install unrar-free. | 14:30 |
| maek | Mitur, java sucks in ubuntu | 14:30 |
| rampageoberon | Jack_Sparrow: sorry, my bad | 14:30 |
| ruiboon | cjohnson: when you are at the grub, press 'e' and you will be able to edit it. | 14:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 14:30 |
| microwaver | recon, i had the package unrar installed. | 14:30 |
| Mitur | maek, i used it alot in the old version. And it worked just fine for me | 14:31 |
| cjohnson | ruiboon, I'm using wubi, I don't have grub, only ntldr | 14:31 |
| microwaver | recon, but didn't seem to work. | 14:31 |
| joepesci | can anyone please help me how to change the startup options. i want the default OS to be UBUNTU and not WINDOWS ? | 14:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | BoltClock yes.. it is in the menu.lst | 14:31 |
| BobDingley | ok, it has finished "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" | 14:31 |
| recon | BoltClock: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:32 |
| cjohnson | ruiboon, it seems nobody is, google has no answers either :( | 14:32 |
| recon | microwaver: and it only has plain image files inside the .rar? | 14:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BobDingley sudo apt-get install amsn | 14:32 |
| BobDingley | done, so it should be alright now? | 14:33 |
| microwaver | recon, dumb act from me. it's seem to be pdf doc's | 14:33 |
| recon | microwaver: you might want to try evince then. :-) | 14:33 |
| ruiboon | cjohnson: does c:\boot.ini have the relevant boot options for ubuntu? | 14:33 |
| recon | microwaver: evince doesn't accept .rars, though, so unrar them first. | 14:33 |
| BoltClock | Jack_Sparrow;recon: done, thanks | 14:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BobDingley no.. that is a different im client for msn.. you will need to run it, set it up etc.. sorry, I dont use msn or amsn so I wont have any further answers | 14:33 |

| Jack_Sparrow | cjohnson Sorry you are having trouble, I wont use nor recommend wubi so I cant really help you other than pointing you to the wubi faq | 14:35 |
| recon | idealprod: Set the correct permissions for the /tmp directory. | 14:35 |
| cjohnson | Jack_Sparrow, it's not that I want to use wubi, it's just that I'm tyring to figure out why Ubuntu in general is having trouble with my machine | 14:35 |
| recon | idealprod: Do you know permissions, or should I explain it? | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cjohnson You are asking wubi specific questions.. | 14:36 |
| carpediem | can I ask a question? | 14:36 |
| cjohnson | ruiboon, the folders are all there, but menu.lst isn't | 14:36 |

| conrad_ | today i have no sound in ubuntu 8.04, after my sound worked fine. something is hogging the sound device, and rebooting does not fix it? | 14:36 |
| carpediem | well, i've got this problem with my sound | 14:36 |
| carpediem | it can only process 1 sound source at A time | 14:36 |
| cjohnson | Jack_Sparrow, right, because wubi was the only way I could even get it to install. the normal installation, and alternate, for 8.04 and 7.10, all fail to load the installer. wubi installed, so that's what I'm using to debug | 14:36 |
| rampageoberon | idealprod: my /tmp/ dir has full read-write-execute access, so sudo chmod 777 /tmp/ | 14:37 |
| carpediem | for example: I can't play openarena and play mp3's at the same time | 14:37 |
| RabidWeezle | carpediem, did you turn off the esd sound server? | 14:37 |
| carpediem | Or listen to teamspeak while playing music | 14:37 |
| carpediem | hmz | 14:37 |
| carpediem | no | 14:37 |
| carpediem | where can I do that? sound settings? | 14:37 |
| recon | carpediem: Yeah, you'll need a sound server to deal with that. It's usually set up by default. | 14:37 |
| RabidWeezle | click system>prefferences>sound | 14:37 |
| carpediem | ok | 14:37 |

| FJ_Sanchez | Hi | 14:56 |
| vy | Hi! How can I install gnome-desktop-environment to a Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Server) x64-64 system? apt-get/aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment keeps complaining http://rafb.net/p/ihdnQj81.html | 14:56 |
| rampageoberon | Pici: ah okay | 14:57 |
| FJ_Sanchez | One question, what is the lastest kernel avaiable fo rubuntu? | 14:57 |
| FJ_Sanchez | *for ubuntu | 14:57 |
| rampageoberon | Pici: thanks :) | 14:57 |
| lejon | I think the .25 kernel is available but its very experimental | 14:57 |
| Pici | FJ_Sanchez: 2.6.24-19 | 14:57 |
| FJ_Sanchez | experimental??!?! | 14:57 |
| thiebaude | conrad:thats a good question i'am not really sure | 14:57 |
| Pici | lejon: its not in our repositories | 14:57 |
| FJ_Sanchez | At least it's stable in kernel.org :p | 14:57 |
| conrad_ | how can i see what is using my sound device, and kill it? | 14:58 |
| FJ_Sanchez | Ok thx | 14:58 |
| lejon | Pici, I haven't gotten the .24-19 version yet :P and yeah its not in the repo, but I think there is a backport somewhere I heard of | 14:58 |
| conrad_ | i'm sorry, this was wasted my entire day so far, i'm desperate | 14:58 |
| vy | conrad_: lsof|grep /dev/... | 14:58 |
| lejon | conrad_, tried aplay -l? | 14:58 |
| scunizi | conrad_, it you're not getting sound out of a game or something.. try killall pulseaudio | 14:58 |
| conrad_ | lejon: aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found... | 14:59 |
| Pici | lejon: Its only in -proposed right now | 14:59 |
| conrad_ | lejon: but my sound worked yesterday :/ | 14:59 |
| lejon | conrad_, did you change anything or fibble anything with ur sound today? | 14:59 |
| lejon | Pici, yeah, the .25 is apparently ibex (8.10) | 14:59 |
| conrad_ | lejon: i didn't change anything, it stopped working this morning, ever since then i've been fiddling trying to fix it, yes | 15:00 |
| Pici | lejon: not yet. | 15:01 |
| lejon | conrad_, have you checked if you have any of the sound channels muted? like in alsa? | 15:01 |
| Lacrymology | I need help installing a network printer | 15:01 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, what kind | 15:02 |
| lejon | Pici ive only heard that .25 is experiemental and apparently belongs to ibex and yeah, its not in our repos yet due to that ^^ | 15:02 |
| cjohnson | When I boot up, I get the following error: "USB 2-1 Device not accepted address 2, error -63" and it stops there. I don't get a graphical interface, and I can't get into a command line. What might cause this? The only USB devices plugged in are a mouse and keyboard. | 15:02 |
| conrad_ | lejon: i don't know how to check, but right now it seems like i have no soundcard installed | 15:02 |
| Lacrymology | scunizi: it's an HP, I'll go look at the model if that's useful | 15:02 |
| KOJV | I've just installed Ubuntu to an Asus EEE P701. It says proprietary drivers are used for the Atheros wireless card, but I can't get to connect to my wireless network? And eth0 doesn't exist. | 15:02 |
| lejon | conrad_, hmm, weird | 15:02 |
| Lacrymology | LaserJet 1022 | 15:03 |
| adam7 | I don't think we're ever going to get .25 in Hardy, are we? | 15:03 |
| lejon | KOJV, try the madwifi drivers from madwifi.org, they helped me | 15:03 |
| lejon | adam7 as far as I know we wont | 15:03 |
| conrad_ | lejon: i guess i have this problem : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=750997 but the solution they give is to reinsatll | 15:03 |
| conrad_ | install | 15:03 |
| genii | I'm pretty sure the 1022 is a host-based printer | 15:03 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, naw.. that's ok.. HP's are pretty compatible.. you need to read hp's page on linux for correct setup.. ipp or lpt .. but it'll work | 15:03 |
| KOJV | Thanks lejon. | 15:04 |
| Pici | adam7: No. Ubuntu will never do a kernel version bump after release | 15:04 |
| genii | eg: printer equivelent of winmodem | 15:04 |
| lejon | conrad_, it could simply be that the driver aint loaded or was compiled properlly | 15:04 |
| lejon | KOJV, no problem :) | 15:04 |
| adam7 | Pici: ok. I wasn't sure if because this was a LTS that would change things | 15:04 |
| adam7 | but then, the 2.4 kernel is still supported, so 2.6 should be, I suppose. | 15:04 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, is it actually connected to the network or you want to network it via usb? | 15:04 |
| conrad_ | lejon: is that possible, given that everything worked until this morning, and then borked without reason? | 15:05 |
| recon | conrad_: they're computers. anything is possible. | 15:05 |
| lejon | well, have you run any updates later? | 15:05 |

| lejon | thiebaude, I do too :P | 15:07 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, also you should be able to set a static ip address for it .. | 15:07 |
| WaaQ | "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" doesn't offer the option to select the video driver.. it only configures the keyboard ... | 15:07 |

| Bilge | What's the difference between sudo and su? | 15:13 |
| scunizi | WaaQ, sis if I remember correctly is somewhat problematic.. | 15:13 |
| FJ_Sanchez | Bilge: sudo has nothing to do with su | 15:13 |
| pen | Bilge, sudo is like run as admin, su -s is like admin | 15:13 |
| WaaQ | how so scunizi ? | 15:13 |
| glitsj16 | trlx: it's not a full blown MTA though, if that's what you need | 15:13 |
| FJ_Sanchez | su is to log as anothe user | 15:13 |
| FJ_Sanchez | sudo is for controlling permissions | 15:13 |
| adam7 | !sudo | Bilge | 15:14 |
| scunizi | WaaQ, let me check.. hang on. | 15:14 |
| ubottu | Bilge: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 15:14 |

| JonathanEllis | Anyone know a text editor that will display line numbers AND view a split pane so I can work on one part of the file while looking at another | 15:14 |
| Lynet | Casper919: You need to fdisk /mbr. I think the freedos (just google for it) mini boot image (both floppy and cd-iso are available as far as I remember) should do it fine. | 15:14 |
| Bilge | I thought they were both commands for running other commands with alternative privileges | 15:14 |
| Lacrymology | It's the network at work, the computer is shared through samba, if I'm not wront | 15:14 |
| Lacrymology | wrong | 15:14 |
| Lacrymology | and I don't know how to install it | 15:14 |
| trlx | glitsj16: thanks! i'm going to ask you again when things screw up though :) | 15:15 |

| lejon | KOJV, try asus own site, otherwise try to use lsusb to figure out the manufacturer | 15:22 |
| c_lisp | KOJV you just have to mount them | 15:22 |
| c_lisp | they should be in fdisk -l | 15:22 |
| c_lisp | sudo fdisk -l | 15:22 |
| genii | KOJV: eg: Your file which gives hints to the mounting program has an entry for some other drive, the options or filesystem of which is not the same as the one which you are trying to mount. | 15:22 |
| RULR | KOJV: and my movie quality is terrible, like .avi files | 15:22 |
| DaLiang | hello | 15:22 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, so you'll need to find the ip of the printer.. not sure about hp but samsung has a self discovery tool for their ethernet printers.. hp might have something like that too. otherwise you'll have to manually configure it. samba isn't neccessary is this case.. | 15:22 |
| KOJV | c_lisp, as I stick a memory card into the slot, Ubuntu says Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. ?? | 15:22 |

| lejon | mamefan, envy is a open source driver(installation tool?) | 15:24 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, open firefox and go to localhost:631 | 15:24 |
| KOJV | lejon, I'm running lsusb, it says "Bus 004: eMPIA Technology Inc." and "Bus 003: Kingston Technology". | 15:24 |
| neil_d | scunizi: this isn't going via an IP its local on my private net. | 15:24 |
| lejon | KOJV, is it the memory card reader or the usb that cant mount? | 15:24 |
| KOJV | genii, still don't get it. | 15:24 |

| KOJV | RULR, oh you mean video quality is bad overall in your Ubuntu system? Perhaps you need proprietary drivers for your graphics card then. | 15:25 |
| glitsj16 | mamefan: envy packages have the extra capability of building the legacy driver for you if it checks out your card isn't supported by the new xfree86 ones | 15:25 |
| KOJV | lejon, memory card. | 15:25 |
| niels__ | #linuxind.dk | 15:25 |
| scunizi | mamefan, if you have to use envy use the envyng package in synaptic.. | 15:26 |
| lejon | KOJV, well then you should tro lspci instead and see what manufacturer ur memory reader controller have | 15:26 |
| c_lisp | KOJV sometimes that happen if you use differnt cards | 15:26 |
| c_lisp | you can force moutn it sorry for the long reply im at work | 15:27 |
| neil_d | scunizi: it seems that only root can access the 'low' ports. | 15:27 |
| c_lisp | it should give you the command to force mount it in the error message | 15:27 |
| recon | that was random. | 15:27 |
| Lacrymology | scunizi: great. Now I need the IP | 15:27 |
| genii | KOJV: Perhaps earlier you had some removable drive, for instance say an ntfs usb thing. Then you made an entry for it in the fstab file which says it's ntfs and so on and it's name is /dev/sdb1 . But then you unplug it and another day put an external drive which might be for instance ext3 filesystem. The computer still thinks it should try to use ntfs to understand the drive. | 15:27 |

| Rioting_pacifist | is it ok to talk about flash here without getting mobed by open source zelots | 15:27 |
| RULR | KOJV: i have proper one, and acceleration is turned on. all is set. i dont know what to do next, that is why i ask for help | 15:27 |
| scunizi | neil_d, maybe because it's internal to the lan.. strange. | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KOJV Most of those card readers seem to be propietary and a pain to find any info to get them going. The cheap dirty soultion is $5 external usb reader | 15:28 |
| KOJV | lejon, all stuff are Intel 82801FB (ICH6). | 15:28 |
| stodan | hi, does ubuntu have verdana font? i am making design and fonts dont match :/ on windows it works good | 15:28 |
| KOJV | c_lisp, it doesn't. | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rioting_pacifist NOt if you cant tone down your retoric | 15:28 |
| babo | do you have to restart the server after changing the hostname ? I've changed my /etc/hosts file but hostname still gives me the old name ... | 15:28 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, check out another machine if you can that can print to that printer. | 15:28 |
| lejon | KOJV Well try and see if intel has some drivers for it, afaik intel is rather good at linux drivers | 15:28 |
| KOJV | genii, okay. How do I remove the old entry? | 15:28 |
| Gat0rvean | is there any fix to the Dell BIOS revision A08 for a live cd? | 15:28 |
| lejon | KOJV, I have no idea how to fix it otherwise, seeing as my memory card reader worked out of the box | 15:29 |
| KOJV | lejon, okay. | 15:29 |
| KOJV | lejon, thanks! | 15:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KOJV If you manage to get it working, please let me kow what you did so I can pass it on to others | 15:29 |
| lejon | kojv no problem, sorry that I really couldn't help :P | 15:30 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Jack_Sparrow: sorry just had major troubling getting help over in #kubuntu, basically flash full screen worked fine under gutsy with kwin (not with compiz) under hardy it tears alot (both with kwin & compiz) im on an ATI system using accelerated drivers if its relevant | 15:30 |
| KOJV | Jack_Sparrow, okay. As it looks now I'll just use my USB hard drive instead to transfer the wifi drivers. | 15:30 |
| genii | KOJV: To find out the device name of the external drive, unplug it, then wait 20-30 secs, plug it back in. Then do: dmesg|tail and see in the last few lines which drive assignment it has (like sdb1 sdc3 or so on like that.) Then you look in the file /etc/fstab for a line with that device name and put a # at the start of that line. | 15:31 |
| Lacrymology | scunizi: ok, mistake, or maybe not, I don't know. The printer's connected to it's host machine via USB, which is connected to mine via an ethernet network.. | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rioting_pacifist Ati are a pain and there have been lots of issues with tearing of video.. It is all in how the drivers get setup | 15:31 |
| sharpe_uk | has had nothing but problems with versions of flash 9 after r48 | 15:31 |
| sharpe_uk | in fact I still use 9r48 even though it has a known critical exploit | 15:31 |
| legend2440 | stodan: in terminal type locate verdana if its not showing up try sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts to install it | 15:31 |
| rich16870 | Can anyone tell me if there is a downloadable version of Ubuntu Live that I can install on a flash memory stick? | 15:31 |
| Rioting_pacifist | sharpe_uk: can 9r48 support fullscreen? i cant get it unwindows | 15:32 |
| cjohnson | When I boot up, I get the following error: "USB 2-1 Device not accepted address 2, error -63" and it stops there. I don't get a graphical interface, and I can't get into a command line. What might cause this? The only USB devices plugged in are a mouse and keyboard. | 15:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rioting_pacifist If you turn off compiz does the tearing go away | 15:32 |
| stodan | legend2440, alredy done that | 15:32 |
| stodan | thx | 15:32 |
| Rioting_pacifist | it did in 7.10 but in 8.04 its the same with without | 15:32 |
| scunizi | Lacrymology, ok.. now you're back to samba.. but if it's shared on that machine you might be able to locate it via system/Admin/Printing and searching for it after clicking "add printer" | 15:32 |

| avis | sharpe_uk, based on media it will select speed ? is that what you are saying ? | 15:34 |
| lejon | avis, It uses the fastest speed it deems possible, and thats usually the burners fastest | 15:34 |
| Quintin | Jalathan: Impossible, not hard. | 15:35 |
| sharpe_uk | >avis, yes | 15:35 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Jack_Sparrow: ive added DRI to xorg.conf, not entirly sure why but i thought it might help, but lsmod doesnt show any dri modules | 15:35 |
| sharpe_uk | >avis, the drive determines the media speed and will only burn at that so the software setting is a bit of a moot point (unless you want to underspeed it) | 15:35 |
| tmapj | can anyone show me how to run this tar.gz file? | 15:36 |

| adam7 | tmapj: are you trying to install a program? | 15:36 |
| Rioting_pacifist | ok thx | 15:36 |
| tasi | And if you don't know how to unpack one I must say you probably don't know how to compile the stuff inside | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj If it is a theme it just gets dragged and dropped onto the theme manager etc. but for the most part, you unpack manually | 15:37 |

| scunizi | adam7, tmapj if you use envy use envyng from synaptic.. otherwise you risk breaking your system | 15:43 |

| Rioting_pacifist | avis: nope afraid unless you use the --no-remote tag you cant do that | 15:44 |

| glitsj16 | KOJV: that might work yes, drop it in /var/cache/apt/archives , taht way pat will see it and not make a network connection | 15:47 |

| KOJV | glitsj16, thanks! | 15:48 |
| lejon | KOJV, try to google it | 15:48 |
| adam7 | Levia: you'll either need to switch applications or find a nice gtk 1.2 theme | 15:48 |
| babolat | mystery_: when a window "darkens" that means that the program has denied you access probably because it's working on somethin or it's hanging | 15:48 |
| adam7 | tmapj: tar -xf nameof.tar.gz | 15:48 |
| hwilde | Levia, adam7 there is a package called gtk-theme-switch | 15:48 |
| KOJV | lejon, yes found it too. | 15:48 |
| scunizi | osx5, that's what server is ... little different kernel but no gui .. no x | 15:48 |
| lejon | KOJV, ^^great | 15:48 |
| Levia | adam7: are you saying the theme I'm using is too new for the GTK version I'm using or too old? | 15:48 |
| adam7 | Levia: the theme is too new | 15:48 |
| tmapj | adam7 after i do that i have a bunch of files, none of which are executable. what do i do with them? | 15:48 |
| osx5 | why would anyone want to run ubuntu server when you could run slackware though with X off? | 15:48 |
| lusius | anyone know a cpp library to import .xm and .mod files ? 0.0 | 15:49 |
| osx5 | kind of defeats the purpose of ubuntu then | 15:49 |
| amenado | Gat0rvean-> during boot, if you press escape and then e to edit the line where the kernel line is, then edit and then b to boot? | 15:49 |
| lejon | tmapj, to untar a tar.gz file you cd to the directory and use tar [options] to untar it | 15:49 |
| Levia | adam7: does that mean ubuntu's repo's have a older version of gtk as standard version? | 15:49 |
| lee__ | scunizi: it doesn't seem to work on hardy. i never had a problem rolling my own ubuntu in gutsy. i get all kind of xorg errors now. | 15:49 |
| adam7 | tmapj: No idea. I've never installed the nvidia driver that way | 15:49 |

| lee__ | scunizi: i don't install server, i do a cli install from the alt desktop iso | 15:49 |
| Levia | adam7: so how come it doesn't work then? | 15:49 |
| adam7 | Levia: some applications are older though | 15:49 |

| lee__ | scunizi: no problem, i just cant seem to find any online information about doing cli's | 15:50 |
| adam7 | jamescowie: sorry, that would be the server cd | 15:51 |
| adam7 | Levia: ah, sorry | 15:51 |
| genii | adam7: He just wants non-gui emacs | 15:51 |
| c_lisp | randall wahts wrong with your java? | 15:51 |
| mystery_ | babolat: sure. is there a code i can type to get all the specs of my machine | 15:51 |
| Pitel | http://www.flickr.com/photos/pitel/2569870907/ any idea how to fix thuis bug with hardy and Chrome gfx card? | 15:52 |
| amenado | lee__-> what are you trying to install? | 15:52 |
| adam7 | Levia: the problem there is the adminstration applications are run by root, which has a different theme (sometimes it gets screwed up, I don't know why) at any rate, the fix is to sudo ln /root/.theme ~/.theme and sudo ln /root/.icons ~/.icons (assuming you only have one user account) | 15:52 |
| babolat | no, mystery_ i just meant to know CPU speed, RAM amount, video card acceleration. and what ubuntu version you have | 15:52 |
| nixternal | I am running KDE and utilizing Evolution for my mail client. An issue I see with it is that the message pane fonts are goofy. Who the email is from is fine, but the subject of the mail is so darn big it doesn't even fit in the space, anyone have ideas on how to fix this besides the obvious ones that have yet to work | 15:52 |
| adam7 | babolat: there is a program called hardinfo that can do that. you'll have to install it though | 15:52 |
| Stephmw | Riotta, I'm not saying they don't - just that win32 implies they're 32bit codecs | 15:52 |
| lee__ | amenado: hardy cli | 15:53 |
| Riotta | ah | 15:53 |
| zackfs14 | can someone remind me what that package name is for the extended gnome display manager? | 15:53 |

| randall | c_lisp: cant play games or anything that needs it | 15:53 |

| actarus | sorry, after the lasts update, x-server not run on my box, i have a nvidia 8500gt, with nvdia-glx-new installed, in the upgrade list there is a "nvidia-glx-new". Now i restored my sistem from a backup file | 15:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zackfs14 twinview or xinerama or cinerella | 15:53 |
| rouini | how can i configure Firefox 3 | 15:53 |
| amenado | lee__-> I dont follow, once you install hardy, you will have access to a command line of bash or whatever shell you specify | 15:53 |
| Levia | adam7: /root/.theme does not exist | 15:54 |
| Levia | adam7: can I also just login to root and change the theme there | 15:54 |
| actarus | can i make the upgrade without nvidia-glx-new? | 15:54 |
| Levia | and then swithc back | 15:54 |
| lee__ | amenado: i don't install the full distro. i do a command line only install and add the packages i want. | 15:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 15:54 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:54 |
| mystery_ | oh ok cool im running Hardy, 1 gb ram, core duo processor at 1.6 ghz | 15:55 |
| adam7 | babolat: ok - try this: cat /proc/cpuinfo; free m; glxinfo | grep direct; cat /etc/issue | 15:55 |
| glitsj16 | rouini: like in all firefox versions, the user.js file in your profile dir, userChrome.css, userContent.css .. what do you want to achieve ? | 15:55 |
| c_lisp | randall install sun java 6 | 15:55 |
| amenado | lee__-> look into debootstrap, am not sure if 8.04 has it yet, last I check it only has one for gutsy, | 15:55 |
| genii | jamescowie: I think you want the package emacs22-nox | 15:55 |
| randall | c_lisp: i did | 15:55 |
| babolat | mystery_: you should be doing fine then | 15:55 |
| adam7 | Levia: you can, if you can log into root. | 15:55 |
| babolat | mystery_: how often does it happen? | 15:55 |
| mystery_ | and i have an ATI radeon xpress 200M grahics card | 15:55 |
| adam7 | babolat: sorry, that should be free -m, not free m | 15:56 |
| mystery_ | its been happening more often while using firefox 3 | 15:56 |
| Levia | adam7: it seems to have some problems though. complaining about gdm not running, etcetera. thanks anyway, I know what to do now | 15:56 |
| c_lisp | and you don't have any other javas installed right? | 15:56 |
| randall | right | 15:56 |

| rouini | what is new for Ubuntu 8.04 comparing with 7.10 | 15:57 |
| c_lisp | I haven't had a problem wiht java check in synaptics and see if you got all the java 6 packages you need | 15:57 |
| adam7 | randall: are you using 32bit or 64bit? | 15:57 |
| babolat | mystery_: does this happen in Firefox only, or generally other programs that you run? | 15:57 |
| randall | adam7: 32 | 15:57 |
| c_lisp | I think there is 2 things you have to install | 15:57 |
| adam7 | randall: ok | 15:57 |
| glitsj16 | randall: browses to sun's website yet after removing all java plugins and let it pick one up from there ? | 15:57 |
| randall | glitsj16: i have tried that to | 15:57 |
| amenado | lee__-> so are you using debootstrap? | 15:58 |
| lee__ | amenado: how is debootstrap going to help me? | 15:58 |

| glitsj16 | randall: a long shot, tried a new profile yet ? | 15:58 |
| adam7 | mystery_: does just firefox go gray, or does the whole screen go gray? and do you have the desktop effects turned on? | 15:58 |
| amenado | lee__-> it helps quite a bit, do you realized its the official installer for ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snoopcat is hypercam a program or a model of webcam | 15:58 |
| randall | adam7: everything is installed | 15:58 |
| Lzr | Installing Ubuntu for the first time is pretty daunting. Tested it out on my main system with the non-install feature and it was mostly functional. Tried it on my other PC and it freezes on the desktop. This is going to be a long few days... | 15:58 |
| snoopcat | program | 15:58 |
| randall | glitsj16: no i dont know how to do that | 15:59 |
| rouini | what is new for Ubuntu 8.04 | 15:59 |
| lee__ | amenado: i can install a hardy cli just fine. it's getting x up and running which is the problem. my initial question was if there were any online resources (wiki/forum topics) on rolling your own ubuntu from a cli install. | 15:59 |
| adam7 | !hardy | rouini | 15:59 |
| ubottu | rouini: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents | 15:59 |
| rampageoberon | Jack_Sparrow: i just noticed the !gparted command needs some updating, would you be able to do it? | 15:59 |
| Levia | adam7: that didn't work. | 15:59 |
| glitsj16 | randall: firefox -Profilemanager as start command will get you into that | 15:59 |
| adam7 | Levia: sorry, what is "that"? ;) | 15:59 |
| babolat | mystery_: Firefox3 Beta5 has been known to go dark too often than it should. I recommend installing flashplugin-nonfree from Synaptic (if it's not yet installed) and the Java runtime environment. If this still doesn't work, try a separate installation of Firefox 2. | 15:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rampageoberon type out the changes for me like this !gparted is blah blah | 16:00 |
| rouini | adamin7:yes hardy | 16:00 |
| Levia | adam7: setting the theme when logged into root account, then switching back to my user | 16:00 |
| adam7 | Levia: ah | 16:00 |
| mystery_ | ok good | 16:00 |
| mystery_ | and my other apps go gray too but not nearly as often | 16:00 |
| amenado | lee__-> you want to customize your own? seek in google for remaster ubuntu cd.. regarding X thats a separate issue to discuss | 16:00 |
| adam7 | Levia: symlinking your theme directory and the root theme directory should work, though | 16:00 |
| lordnps | Hi there... I've recently installed ubuntu 8.04, I'm not a linux noob, but I used gentoo previously. My problem is that hardware graphics accelaration doesn't seam to work very well.

I'm running Ubuntu Feisty just recently updated, and in Gnome when I as much as start up the keyboard config (I access it through VNC on a mac), the GTK theme changes color and becomes somewhat larger, and the keyboard is totally messed up - as in it is still reacting, but keys are exchanged in a pattern I can't figure out | 17:03 |

| BoltClock | but im not sure how much my current problem really relates to svn... | 17:41 |

| Jack_Sparrow | persi Are you talking about pidgin.. THe link I gave has the ubuntu debs | 17:42 |
| jeed | BoltClock, i learnt svn from here, because it shows you how to add files, delete, move, diff, commit: http://wiki.videolan.org/Subversion | 17:42 |
| Odd-rationale | asav01: did you try googleing for you card? you will have to use ndiswrapper iirc | 17:42 |
| gaintsura | ndiswrapper or madwifi | 17:43 |
| BoltClock | jeed: cool, will take note... also, videolan :) | 17:43 |
| RabidWeezle | ndiswrapper is very nice | 17:43 |
| persi | yeah but it wont let me download it, i pasted the actual quote | 17:43 |
| persi | from the server | 17:43 |
| BoltClock | really, i dont use vlc though :/ | 17:43 |
| persi | and of site only has binaries and fedora file | 17:43 |
| === Gumby` is now known as Gumby | ||
| asav01 | Odd-rationale: my ubuntu recognized and installed non free drivers, but I don't know how to connect mi iPhone to it. | 17:43 |
| jeed | BoltClock, no need, their commands apply to all svn servers | 17:43 |
| swatTX | can anyone that's using an ipod touch that is only using ubuntu (no dual boot) recommend a good music management program? | 17:43 |

| mworth | I am having a problem with flash plugin- when I load a page with flash it tells me I need to install it. I already have and when I try to use the plugin finder thing (the yellow bar at the top) it says that it's already installed. I've tried removal then installation via synaptic but still no luck | 17:44 |
| * RabidWeezle never owned an ipod | 17:44 | |
| RabidWeezle | I was a psp man myself | 17:44 |
| VSpike | When adding jobs to cron, is it bad to do e.g. bash -l /home/me/some_script ? | 17:44 |
| VSpike | I've been caught out before by cron because of the limited environment and this seems like a good way to avoid that | 17:44 |
| spideyman | RabidWeezle, try using gtkpod it works great | 17:45 |
| persi | aw sorry got lost in those messages, thank you | 17:45 |
| RabidWeezle | not for me | 17:45 |

| Jack_Sparrow | anavarro What distro/release are you running | 17:51 |
| * gaintsura joins snarkster for more coffee | 17:51 | |
| RabidWeezle | are you both running 64's with 32 bit versions of ubuntu or somethin? | 17:52 |

| RabidWeezle | I only ask cause I have no idea | 17:52 |
| Xcell | sounds like a x problem | 17:52 |
| RabidWeezle | did google tell you anything? | 17:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | anavarro Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc? | 17:52 |
| swatTX | RabidWeezle, do you happen to know a way to handle album artwork without manually doing every album in gtkpod? | 17:52 |

| spideyman | swatTX, amorok | 17:53 |
| RabidWeezle | about gtkpod | 17:53 |
| Sanketsu | yell0w, I looked into some things and figured out that I all I needed to get my stuff working was turn off the computability check for addons. | 17:53 |
| snarkster | Persi: I have instruction on building the driver for your mach64 video card.. very very easy | 17:53 |
| Morph3us | hi.. where can i download the ubuntu repositories dvd's? i have a friend without internet access.. | 17:53 |

| RabidWeezle | you can download the whole repo on dvd? | 17:53 |
| RabidWeezle | that's cool | 17:54 |

| snarkster | Persi: no not really.. open a PM to me and ill paste it line by line for you | 17:54 |
| RabidWeezle | what I would do, is gaintsura then get the x64 version silly | 17:55 |
| RabidWeezle | ^_^ | 17:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snarkster use the pastebin | 17:55 |
| anavarro | Is just a regular install | 17:55 |
| gaintsura | RabidWeezle: is it possible to upgrade from 32 to 64 without losing everything? | 17:55 |
| RabidWeezle | good question, lemme check | 17:55 |
| Hydrogen | no. | 17:56 |
| gaintsura | thanks | 17:56 |
| Hydrogen | unless you have a separate /home | 17:56 |
| gaintsura | Hydrogen: /home is not what I'm worried about losing... | 17:56 |
| mehehool | quick question to anyone at all | 17:56 |
| Hydrogen | and even then that would just be /home | 17:56 |
| S4nD3r | HOw to mount pendrive automatically in my gnome ??? (ubuntu 8.04) | 17:56 |

| Stroganoff | mehehool please read this and related articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64bit#Pros_and_cons | 17:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !paste | 17:58 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 17:58 |

| oblador | does it really take a long time to encode a DVD to avi in ubuntu using OGMRIP? | 17:58 |

| nibsa1242b | oblador: while I've never used that particular program, it depends on processor speed, ram, and other factors and should take 2-12 hours depending on various factors like number of passes. | 17:59 |
| * xTheGoat121x surrenders | 17:59 | |
| S4nD3r | like mine RabidWeezle | 17:59 |
| oblador | my system is slow, it's a sempron 2300+, 256mb | 18:00 |
| S4nD3r | But this must mount it | 18:00 |
| oblador | thanks, I guess it's fine then | 18:00 |
| RabidWeezle | it mounts it | 18:00 |
| RabidWeezle | to /media/disk | 18:00 |
| nibsa1242b | oblador: yeah, it'll take an awful long time, the low amount of ram is going to be a big problem there | 18:00 |
| mehehool | stroganoff from what i gather 64 is a bettter option than 32 and as thus is preferable | 18:00 |
| RabidWeezle | do you need it mounted to another location? | 18:01 |
| oblador | ok, but the estimated time left is just abou 5h | 18:01 |
| oblador | thank you friends | 18:01 |
| oblador | see you | 18:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stroganoff I didnt read the article, but in general we steer new linux users to 32 bit | 18:02 |

| ActionParsnip | c_lisp: does ktorrent have monitored folders?? | 18:13 |
| cjk2 | nibsa1242b: so what, it can switch to it easily | 18:13 |
| gaintsura | anavarro: my install started doing it from first boot, at first it was only terminal that was doing it, now it can be any window | 18:13 |
| nibsa1242b | khajavi: Ubuntu wants to mount it there, why is it creating an issue for you? | 18:13 |
| c_lisp | What do you mean by monitor folders? | 18:13 |
| cjk2 | sometimes, calling linux32 is enough | 18:13 |
| Terrasque | osotogari: that is ext3, thats file system rights and not mount option rights | 18:13 |
| Kille1 | would i see a performance hit between using a 32bit distrib and a 64 bit one ? | 18:13 |

| Kille1 | or what si the real point of running a 64 bit distrib ? | 18:14 |
| Levia | nibsa1242b: just installed a new kernel :S needed to do the module again, so I did..but now when I login, I get the ubuntu color backgroudn and my mouse..and a grey box in the top left of the screen..but it wont continue | 18:14 |
| nibsa1242b | cjk2: my point isn't not to use 64 bit. My point is that some programs under 64 bit require additional configuration to work, whereas in 32 bit they work out of the box. If one is a Linux newbie, then one may be more comfortable adjusting to the 32 bit environment. | 18:14 |
| jeed | Kille1, not on linux, i never see the difference except 64-bit has more hassle and crashes and segfaults :P | 18:14 |
| Kille1 | yeah | 18:15 |
| cjk2 | nibsa1242b: all the config should be done by the distro, but maybe ubuntu falls short on that | 18:15 |
| randall | acp_: still doing updates? | 18:15 |
| nibsa1242b | Levia: I'm not an x-wizard so I can't really help you. | 18:15 |
| Kille1 | im gonna install the 32 bit ver of my distro | 18:15 |
| Kille1 | come back to 64 when there is a real advantage and automatic 32 bit compatibility or such | 18:15 |

| ASULutzy | pelaxix: Both Nexuiz and Wesnoth have newer versions than what are available in synaptic if you download and compile from source. It's not necessary to get the newest; ie the versions in synaptic are still compatible, but just an FYI | 19:04 |
| ASULutzy | PCcertified: Ah, I hadn't thought about that. Can you add a script to init.d? | 19:05 |

| ASULutzy | PCcertified: I'm not 100% sure what you need to do, but adding something to run on startup isn't that hard to do. For example on my desktop I had to make a script to rewrite my mtrr tables on startup because fglrx wouldn't work with 4 GB of RAM. So I just created the script, made it executable, copied to /etc/init.d/mtrrfixup and also to /etc/rc2.d/S01mtrrfixup | 19:12 |

| chadeldridge | I accidentally deleted my gnome panel and was wondering if there is a backup of its config that i can put back in place? | 19:13 |
| the_eraser | anyone know about gnormalizer? :'( | 19:13 |
| Odd-rationale | tonsOfSparks: i would wait. use kde3 for now... kde4, although quite stable, is still incomplete in some areas... | 19:14 |
| zyx386 | i cant connect with ftp with Nautilus? | 19:14 |
| PCcertified | ASULutzy: sounds easy enough, but I don't have a clue what to put in the script. I haven't written a script in 7 years, not sure I remember how. | 19:14 |
| peepsalot | can I load my OS and some extra files into memory, and diable my hard drive for power savigns? | 19:14 |
| zyx386 | with Nautilus can i just connect to "Costum Location" why? | 19:15 |
| PCcertified | ASULutzy: point is there MUST be 1 person on this planet that has set up vgetty or used their ubuntu for an answering machine | 19:15 |
| the_eraser | it was called gnormalize, but its not in the repos :( | 19:15 |
| joaopinto | peepsalot, you can't move the entire os into a ramdisk | 19:15 |
| tonsOfSparks | odd-rationale: so it's jstill "eat yo baties?" I guess i got used to using gnome w/ ubuntu but i would like to switch back to KDE, which is really awesome | 19:15 |
| peepsalot | joaopinto, why not? too large? I can't move just the crucial needed files? | 19:16 |
| Odd-rationale | tonsOfSparks: kde 4.1 will be out next month... i will probably reevaluate kde then. | 19:16 |
| ASULutzy | PCcertified: Is it already setup and configured? And you just want it to run on startup? because then your script would pretty much just be a file that says vgetty. | 19:16 |

| joaopinto | peepsalot, it's too large, and it is not technically possible to relocate the entire root filesystem when it's already mounted | 19:17 |
| Kl4m | peepsalot: It's more complicated than just moving some files to memory. | 19:17 |
| chadeldridge | Anyone know if there is a backup of the gnome-panel settings ? Where would i look ? | 19:17 |
| tonsOfSparks | the_eraser: compile it yourself, find the tarball w/ source at http://gnormalize.sourceforge.net/ and follow the instructions, but u might need to get gcc from the repos if you havent done so already | 19:17 |

| the_eraser | tonsOfSparks: yep guess i have to.. | 19:18 |
| joaopinto | peepsalot, if you use a minimal installation, once the player loads the files into memory there should be no Disk I/O | 19:18 |

| PCcertified | poypoy: check the instructions for that program again, you probably skipped a step in setting up permissions. To RUN it as root from the menu, right click your menu and edit the menu, find your program in the list and right click and select properties. Then, in the command line, add gksu to the beginning. then it will ask for your password every time you start it | 19:35 |

| HardDisk | compubomb, I suggest run firefox in terminal do the same task then see in terminal what the error message is. | 20:06 |
| zcat[1] | winXP, won't even boot. Looks like a reinstall and I don't have the disks for it. I might just suggest they switch to ubuntu.. | 20:06 |

| Fingaz | hey guys I'm trying to remember the name of a program that I used before. It's a cd burning program that you plug mp3 files into and it takes care of converting them writing the disk and deleting the wav files that were created very quickly | 20:07 |
| zcat[1] | I googled the specs, the lappy is 100% supported and afaik they're just doing web/email/office stuff.. | 20:07 |
| jeed | Fingaz, k3b | 20:08 |
| eimaj | i need serious help.. i tried installing ubuntu 8.04 from a live cd, by resizing the windows partition and creating a new partition(s) for ubuntu..(a.k.a using the guided partitioning wizard).. however, the installer crashed at 15%, and went to a blank wallpaper screen.. i had to manually reboot my laptop, as nothing was responding. NOW, im stuck with my windows being squished, and a big empty partition where ubuntu failed to install. what can i do?? | 20:08 |
| HardDisk | zcat[1], well do it for them and just a quick demo to get them going | 20:08 |
| acp_ | Stephen12992: have you try using System-> Administration->Harware Testing? | 20:08 |
| ASULutzy | zcat[1]: I wouldn't change operating systems on someone without consulting them first. I love ubuntu, but it's not for everyone | 20:08 |
| HardDisk | eimaj, use the livecd to remove the ubuntu partition and start over | 20:08 |
| zcat[1] | HardDisk: I went to a presentation on "Excel" yesterday.. the original plan was that I would demo OOo if there was time aftrwards. In the end, the presenter used my lappy for his "Excel" presenatation (OOo/ubuntu) and hardly even noticed it wasn't Windows/excel.. | 20:09 |
| acp_ | sorry,Hardware Testing* | 20:09 |
| compubomb | HardDisk: it said Segmentation fault | 20:09 |
| eimaj | HardDisk, how do i go about doing that? | 20:09 |
| rampageoberon | zcat[1]: nice :) | 20:09 |
| compubomb | i'm running 64bit version of linux | 20:09 |
| Fingaz | jeed, that doesn't sound familiar :( | 20:09 |
| zcat[1] | the menus were different, but he found all the options he wanted to demo.. | 20:09 |
| HardDisk | eimaj, ok you need a guide how to use partitioning tools... let me find a guide | 20:09 |
| jeed | Fingaz, its what i use to convert and burn stuff fast, it has it all there | 20:09 |
| HardDisk | eimaj, have you used partition magic before for example? | 20:10 |
| compubomb | I don't know wtf to do to make sure my browser doesn't crash. | 20:10 |
| jeed | Fingaz, it converts MP3 to other formats and then burns | 20:10 |
| compubomb | i looked online for 64bit version but i don't see any. | 20:10 |
| jeed | etc | 20:10 |
| zcat[1] | I was quite impressed. A few things didn't ork quite right but overall it was pretty good. | 20:10 |
| HardDisk | compubomb, delete the .mozilla folder and try again | 20:10 |
| HardDisk | compubomb, it's hidden in your home directory | 20:10 |
| compubomb | HardDisk: ugh! | 20:10 |
| compubomb | okay. | 20:10 |
| v0lksman | hey all....anyone know why the -19 revision of the kernel (in proposed) would kill sound? I installed linux-headers and linux-image...should I have updated anything else? | 20:10 |
| compubomb | i'll try. | 20:10 |
| eimaj | HardDisk, no i haven't.. im completely new with the whole ubuntu idea | 20:10 |
| HardDisk | eimaj, I mean partitioning in general. | 20:11 |
| Orfeous | wols: it seems that it not works :D | 20:11 |
| jsn | So, I have a video card that required me to update to hardy so I could use blender... but now I can't use cinelerra, because of a conflict between libopenexr2ldbl and libopenexr2c2a. I am happy building cinelerra from source, but I don't know how to get the ldbl library "installed" so it can find it. | 20:11 |
| Fingaz | jeed, is there a gnome version? | 20:11 |
| Orfeous | it doesnt register a videodevice.. | 20:11 |
| eimaj | HardDisk no, i haven't | 20:11 |
| Kris07 | Hi, How would I install a gtk file? | 20:11 |
| jeed | Fingaz, no, but you can install it on gnome, i use it from gnome myself | 20:11 |
| HardDisk | eimaj, then I'll try to find you an easy guide with pics. give me a sec. | 20:11 |
| Miesco | Is there a backport repirtiour? | 20:11 |
| phantomas | hi i have a prob sometimes when i play a video on youtube it is playing fine but most of the times i have no sound any ideas? | 20:11 |
| eimaj | HardDisk, thank you, this is greatly appreciated | 20:11 |
| Miesco | Is there a backport repository | 20:12 |
| Fingaz | jeed, think I found it. Just a sec let you know | 20:12 |
| veritas_ | I have a question about anyone that might know how to make a stylus work on ubuntu or are having the same issue with it not reading at all | 20:12 |
| jsn | Is there a way to "fake" install the libopenexr2ldbl library that I need to build cinelerra? It conflicts with libopenexr2c2a which is installed. | 20:12 |
| zcat[1] | what's the deal with flash and sound anyhow? It's always worked for me... four different machines never had a problem with it? | 20:12 |
| HardDisk | eimaj, this guide will work if you use the ubuntu livecd OR if you want to download a gparted livecd, both work it's same application: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted | 20:12 |
| rampageoberon | eimaj: Not sure if you will be comfortable with gparted. But it is a very good partition utility. Here's a link to the liveCD http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 20:12 |
| HardDisk | zcat[1], some people still have issues. | 20:13 |
| * DIL_ thinks that Partition magic is good if he has it but Gparted can be downloaded and may be a good alternative | 20:13 | |
| zcat[1] | apparently so... | 20:13 |
| phantomas | anyone? | 20:13 |
| phantomas | help me please | 20:13 |
| bXi | HardDisk: that acetoneiso looks good but its too much | 20:13 |
| HardDisk | rampageoberon, gparted is already in the ubuntu livecd, I just gave him a guide to use it. | 20:13 |
| zcat[1] | gparted is on the ubuntu live disk I think.. isn't it what the installer uses? | 20:13 |
| HardDisk | bXi, too much? | 20:13 |
| bXi | yeah | 20:13 |
| HardDisk | so you just want a mounter... | 20:13 |
| bXi | yeah | 20:13 |
| bXi | systray based | 20:13 |
| HardDisk | bXi, then Gmount-Iso | 20:13 |
| eimaj | HardDisk and rampageoberon: thankyou, this will be a great help :) | 20:14 |
| v0lksman | Miesco: in synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Updates | 20:14 |
| rampageoberon | HardDisk: i find the live CD nicer at times, but yes they can use the one on the ubuntu LiveCD too | 20:14 |
| HardDisk | bXi, I personally prefer acetoneiso because of the features it provides. | 20:14 |
| phantomas | hey guys i need help over here.... please... | 20:14 |
| Fingaz | serpentine that was what I was looking for. Have to try k3b | 20:14 |

| Thundarr | what do I do now | 20:15 |
| Miesco | v0lksman: Do you have to do like aptitude -t backports or something? | 20:15 |

| zcat[1] | onthefence928: run memtest and some hdd diagnostics, those tend to be the biggest failings. also when you install, if you need anything like nvidia drivers or flash use the package management, NOT binary installers from wherever.. | 20:18 |
| v0lksman | Miesco: not sure...I don't use aptitude...You can also modify your /etc/apt/sources.list and un-comment the backport lines...then update | 20:18 |

| zcat[1] | gnome has it's bugs but I wouldn't call it unstable by a long way.. | 20:24 |
| morpheus_bc | DanielRM: Do you have any "excentric" hardware, or is it a plain old hdd install ? | 20:24 |
| compubomb | HardDisk: I'd imagine it has something to do with the version i have not being entirly stable on 64bit | 20:24 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, correct. | 20:24 |
| Kl4m | onthefence928: Gnome is stable enough | 20:24 |
| HardDisk | compubomb, oh 64bit...well that's a horse of a different color then. | 20:24 |
| compubomb | but the whole point i installed 64bit linux was to get more memmory support. | 20:24 |
| pub | does anybody use gdesklets | 20:24 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: i see, give me a min | 20:24 |
| mercy_ | ubottu:thank you | 20:24 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 20:24 |
| Kl4m | it has a low center of gravity you see | 20:24 |
| DanielRM | morpheus_bc: no eccentric hardware. Plain old HD install. | 20:24 |
| zcat[1] | pub: yes.. and they're still pretty 'alpha' .. expect problems :) | 20:24 |
| HardDisk | compubomb, you can get more memory support in 32bit, you just need to patch the kernel I believe if I'm not mistaken | 20:24 |
| Starnestommy | phantomas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libflashsupport/+bug/183917 could be rekated, but I see a couple other bug reports for flash | 20:25 |

| Starnestommy | *related | 20:25 |
| onthefence928 | well i've had more than a few occasions where random program freeze up, then i force quit it, and then it all goes to hell form there | 20:25 |
| morpheus_bc | DanielRM: ok, thanks. I'll try looking at the logs and updating the packages, I'll let you know if I find something. | 20:25 |
| berry_nl | rampageoberon: Thanks many time thanks in advance. This one really got me stuck | 20:25 |
| compubomb | HardDisk: i'm not experienced in the art of kernel compilation. | 20:25 |
| pub | zcat[1] i can't seem to get the GoodWeather desklet to work, all that shows is N/A .. loading.. | 20:25 |
| zcat[1] | Oh.. gdesklets, not screenlets.. gdesklets are not alpha, they just dont work that well :) | 20:25 |
| Thundarr | I have tried to change my screen resolution but I only get 600x800 | 20:25 |
| pub | nothing more | 20:25 |
| DanielRM | morpheus_bc: looking at the logs myself I can't see anything unusual. | 20:25 |

| pub | lol | 20:25 |
| DanielRM | morpheus_bc: thanks for mentioning the startx thing though. That is a godsend. :-) | 20:25 |
| HardDisk | compubomb, ok try to remove firefox --purge and reinstall? | 20:25 |
| Thundarr | where do I go to install the correct driver | 20:25 |
| zcat[1] | pub: you gave it a 'weather.com' code to look up? | 20:25 |
| pub | Yes | 20:26 |
| HardDisk | Thundarr, videocard? | 20:26 |
| pub | i gave mine, and the one in the example | 20:26 |
| pub | none worked | 20:26 |
| compubomb | HardDisk: think i figured out the problem, it's more than likely one of these extentions i have installed, i changed the name of the profile. | 20:26 |
| onthefence928 | can't tell you how many times i've had to turn off the power the harsh way because i've lost all taskbars and have become unable to do anything | 20:26 |
| compubomb | :'( | 20:26 |
| compubomb | my guess is possibly downloadthemall extention :'( | 20:26 |
| Thundarr | nvidia | 20:26 |
| HardDisk | compubomb, well didn't I tell you to remove .mozilla, I assumed you ran it without the extensions.... | 20:26 |
| === dcohen is now known as cyclops | ||
| morpheus_bc | DanielRM: No problem, I'm going to try to update all packages, hopefully this issue's been fixed. See you later. | 20:26 |
| zcat[1] | pub: Oh.. weather.com changed the URL format slightly a couple of months ago.. gdesklest might not have caught up and done a patch yet.. | 20:26 |
| === cyclops is now known as thecyclops | ||
| HardDisk | Thundarr, add the nvidia drivers via hardware drivers in system administration | 20:26 |
| pub | so i should use the older version of GoodWeather | 20:27 |
| pub | ? | 20:27 |
| Kl4m | onthefence928: first alt+f2 and type "killall gnome-panel", if it fails, ctrl+alt+backspace. | 20:27 |
| HardDisk | Thundarr, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings in terminal, then run sudo nvidia-settings | 20:27 |
| zcat[1] | pub: not sure.. possibly. | 20:27 |
| zcat[1] | onthefence928: what video card? | 20:27 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: is Gene Accession the first column heading and number the second? | 20:27 |
| pub | alright well then i'll have to restart im sure | 20:27 |
| pub | be right back | 20:27 |
| K3rl0u4rn | hi people | 20:28 |
| Thundarr | I tried to install the drivers via hardware drivers...but when I do that and restart I cannot get back into Ubuntu. | 20:28 |
| K3rl0u4rn | is there a way I can install only ubuntu-standard ? | 20:28 |
| Thundarr | my monitor then says it cannot display the resolution | 20:28 |
| HardDisk | K3rl0u4rn, mind explaining that again? | 20:28 |
| K3rl0u4rn | is alternate cd the way to proceed for such install ? | 20:28 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: I can make it work (longish way) if Gene Accession is one word | 20:28 |
| hypnodok | can someone tell me how to tell nautilus to display items in a list view by default? | 20:28 |
| HardDisk | K3rl0u4rn, use the normal ubuntu cd | 20:28 |
| berry_nl | rampageoberon: Jep Gene accession is the first column. Feel free to change Gene acc. into ID or something like that. | 20:28 |
| thecyclops | Just installed Hardy. Where did the 'Hardware Information' link in System->Preferences go? | 20:28 |
| HardDisk | hypnodok, edit/preferences | 20:29 |
| pub | nevermind zcat, haha , there was only 1 version out ;( | 20:29 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: cut -f1-3,5,7,9 <file> | 20:29 |
| onthefence928 | zcat[1]: an nvidia card not sure exactly which one but it was able to get a driver installed for it, and it's a laptop graphics card (not embedded in the motherboard like some laptops | 20:29 |
| Thundarr | is there somewhere else i can go to install different drivers?? | 20:29 |
| berry_nl | rampageoberon: I do need to keep the first column. Its just the "call" columns whom all need to dissapear. | 20:29 |
| hypnodok | HardDisk: thanks | 20:29 |
| K3rl0u4rn | HardDisk: there is a dummy package in ubuntu called ubuntu-standard with kind of minimal linux system, I would like to install such minimal system and avoid the other packages that come with ubuntu or derived | 20:29 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: something like that will work | 20:29 |
| HardDisk | K3rl0u4rn, oh then that's fine. | 20:29 |
| zcat[1] | pub: I had to hack screenlets weather applet to recognise the new url format.. mine works ;) | 20:29 |
| HardDisk | screenlets..bleh :D | 20:30 |
| zcat[1] | onthefence928: mmm, ok.. well. No idea then. | 20:30 |
| berry_nl | rampageoberon: Okay so i'll manually need to give all the column numbers. But yes that will work. Thanks rampageoberon! | 20:30 |
| K3rl0u4rn | HardDisk: what do you mean that's fine ? | 20:30 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: i'm not sure how to make it more automated but you can do do the cut for all the fields (till whatever number of fields you have) | 20:30 |
| Grim76__ | K3rl0u4rn: you might want to install a server setup to get as minimal as possible. | 20:30 |
| HardDisk | K3rl0u4rn, that's fine, as in you can install via the minimal if you want. | 20:30 |
| rampageoberon | berry_nl: make the first column heading one word :) | 20:30 |
| K3rl0u4rn | Grim76__: well, I think server is already more than ubuntu-standard | 20:30 |
| HardDisk | Grim76__, server isn't minimal as possible. | 20:31 |
| berry_nl | rampageoberon: grin, good thing you mention. I almost got carried away hehehe | 20:31 |
| phantomas | Starnestommy: ok i read the page but i didnt find something :( | 20:31 |

| K3rl0u4rn | HardDisk: but I'd like to avoir the other things | 20:32 |
| HardDisk | later zcat[1] | 20:32 |
| HardDisk | K3rl0u4rn, you're not being direct. You have your options, choose one. | 20:32 |

| ubottu | Stephen12992: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 20:32 |

| Starnestommy | Lewix: it it's just .bz2 or .bz, bunzip2 file.bz2, but if it has .tar.bz or .tar.bz2, use tar xjf file.tar.bz2 | 20:36 |
| K3rl0u4rn | HardDisk: you said "You have your options, choose one." what do you mean ? | 20:36 |
| Starnestommy | Lava: is it a wired connection or wireless? | 20:36 |

| Lava | Starnestommy, if that helps | 20:38 |
| Starnestommy | Lava: there could've been a driver change between the two, or your ISP could be throttling you for having downloaded a lot | 20:38 |
| heym1 | Lava: maybe your using different driver | 20:38 |

| heym1 | Lava: lol. google! | 20:38 |

| duallain | Lava: Are you talking about your wireless connection's strength? | 20:39 |

| onthefence928 | HardDisk: is there a way to fix my swap drive without reinstalling? | 20:39 |
| heym1 | Lava: if thats even the problemo in the 1st place | 20:39 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, define "fix" | 20:39 |
| Lava | heym1, ok where do i find that ? | 20:39 |
| Starnestommy | Lava: you may need to wait a while and try to avoid heavy bandwidth usage | 20:39 |
| heym1 | Lava: 1. check what card you have, 2. check what driver you are using, 3.use a different driver. | 20:40 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: well i tried to make it larger via gparted but now linux is telling me there are 0MBs in the swap partition | 20:40 |

| onthefence928 | HardDisk: hmm i fixed it it seems | 20:42 |
| HardDisk | onthefence928, if you run sudo fdisk -l it will show you where the swap is | 20:42 |

| \kG | Hi, i was wondering if anyone can help me... im trying to get ubuntu iso on my win xp box and ive downloaded from ubuntu now 6 times 2 diffrent mirrors, and everytime it fails md5sum check... i ran memtest on my box and my memory is fine.. can anyone else shed some light on this? | 20:48 |
| ubottu | dacubuntu: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 20:48 |
| QuickGold | what is the command to install the PHP library mbstring? | 20:48 |
| stemount^b2 | !patience | sagredo | 20:48 |
| dacubuntu | yeah | 20:48 |
| ubottu | sagredo: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 20:48 |
| dacubuntu | i tried that | 20:48 |
| checco | do you know how can i use ndiswtapper in ubuntu 8.04? | 20:48 |
| heym1 | Lava: yay! now you can google that with linux | 20:49 |
| dacubuntu | gparted isnt working properly | 20:49 |
| unavailable | sfire open terminal and run metacity | 20:49 |
| heym1 | Lava: and see what people are sayin' | 20:49 |
| sfire | heym1: thank you very much | 20:49 |
| jahshua | thanks HardDisk. | 20:49 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, is this a vista partition? | 20:49 |
| emmure | does anyone else have a broadcom corporation bcm94311mcg | 20:49 |
| dacubuntu | nope xp | 20:49 |
| mystery[bbiab] | \kG: No idea, but why you need the md5 tests? They are actually nothing. | 20:49 |
| mystery[bbiab] | =] | 20:49 |
| tdela | Silly question, how can I find out what version I have on my DVD, I have many difference ubuntu DVD's but I want to find my 8.04 DVD but I can't find the version of it. | 20:49 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, I'd check the partition structure then. | 20:49 |
| heym1 | sfire: no, Alt F2 and run command: metacity --replace | 20:49 |
| JuJuBee | Is there a linux equivalent for PrintMaster ? | 20:49 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, gparted has no issues with xp partitions whatsoever | 20:49 |
| sfire | heym1: it worked :) | 20:49 |
| bobbers | can anyone tell me if its possible to get a working ssh client when using the "rescue" option from the ubuntu install disk? | 20:49 |
| sfire | I just opened a console window | 20:49 |
| rampageoberon | \kG: all i can say is it might be getting corrupted somewhere or a bad sector on disk. Try download it to an external drive if you can and test | 20:49 |
| dacubuntu | what gparted does is | 20:49 |
| Lava | heym1, dude if my internet went faster than a cripple turtle i would :p | 20:49 |
| \kG | mystery[bbiab] i burned the first 5 dicks and got errors on install.... becasue the md5sum fail the iso is corrupted | 20:49 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, you could use Hiren's bootcd if you want | 20:49 |
| dacubuntu | all my options for ALL the partitions | 20:49 |
| trwww | I have a feisty dellbuntu 1505.... I need to add another user, but I'm guessing useradd wont set up the same groups/configuration as I got with the default user. Is there a way to create a user that has the same groups as the default user (allowed to sudo, run synaptics, etc)? | 20:49 |
| \kG | discs* | 20:49 |
| dacubuntu | are greyed out | 20:49 |
| heym1 | Lava: hard wire | 20:50 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, you have to unmount the drive if you're doing it via the OS | 20:50 |
| rampageoberon | \kG: also burning the disks maybe burn then at a slower speed | 20:50 |
| Lava | heym1, ok, gonna try that | 20:50 |
| mystery[bbiab] | \kG: Oh, ok... Sry, can't help. I had friends who their md5 failed and they installed fine... | 20:50 |
| dacubuntu | i tried that as well | 20:50 |
| cggabriel | i have no idea what a pool is ubutto | 20:50 |
| onthefence928 | HardDisk: ok it all check out, i'll see if i have any problems in the future | 20:50 |
| dacubuntu | but......... the resize option is still greyed out | 20:50 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, then I suspect a "dirty" partition table, check hiren's bootcd and do some tests | 20:50 |
| heym1 | Lava: should be a heck of a lot faster if the problem is just with your wireless card | 20:50 |
| dacubuntu | but my xp is running fine | 20:51 |
| HardDisk | dacubuntu, did you encrypt your drives? | 20:51 |
| dacubuntu | nope | 20:51 |

| graft | sfire: yeah, DNS lookup works fine outside of firefox | 21:44 |
| Thundarr | any and all help is greatly appreciated | 21:44 |
| effeietsanders | I got messages similar to these, btw, when I tried to walk around ACPI: | 21:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brandan_ You will want to give it more.... I suggest you burn or backup /var/cache/apt/archives to maximixe the room available. then delete everything in that folder.. except lock and the folder named partial | 21:44 |
| graft | sfire: the only other thing it MIGHT be broken for is the standalone flash player, but it's hard to tell | 21:44 |

| Xcell | i understand.. but make sure it is set to direct connect | 21:46 |
| brandan_ | Jack_Sparrow: shouldn't I be ok for a while the way I am, for basic stuff, as long as I don't install anything big? | 21:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brandan_ when you get around to it, this is a great place to ask | 21:46 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, can i past the outcome somewhere? | 21:46 |
| graft | Xcell: it is | 21:46 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:46 |
| Xcell | ok.. thinks* | 21:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brandan_ It is all relative to how much you use it. 10 gigs will get you by for now. but not enough in the long run | 21:47 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19463/ | 21:47 |
| tzd | does anyone know if the issue with: ... NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_dbus_init() ... at shutdown/reboot has been fixed please? I've seen a lot of reported cases but only seen 1 workaround that won't do it for me :/ | 21:48 |
| Xcell | check your error console.. try cleaning that | 21:48 |
| brandan_ | Jack_Sparrow: so if I only use applications and games I have installed currently, and only update my system when needed, I should be fine for a while? | 21:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brandan_ I cant give you a definitive answer or a guarantee. when you run out of room you run out of room | 21:48 |
| brandan_ | Jack_Sparrow: it's okay, thanks, I understand | 21:49 |
| dogma | so this maybe a dumb question although ive never heard a direct answer regarding compiz-fusion is thier a way to get the xvideo extensions functioning in windowed mode while in use if you use a ati card? | 21:49 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: are you using ndiswrapper for the wireless card? | 21:50 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, i tried installing it ten minutes ago | 21:50 |

| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 21:51 |
| compubomb | i'm trying to figure out why rythmbox and BMPx all have sound, but totem has no sound. | 21:51 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, through synaptic manager, but after that, i didn't know what to do | 21:51 |

| snarkster | im getting segmentation faults.. whats the est approach to fix these? | 21:52 |
| Starnestommy | snarkster: reinstakk the program that's causing them | 21:52 |
| s_v_e_n | please help with soundcard on hardy : http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/266196/ | 21:52 |
| Starnestommy | snarkster: er, reinstakk | 21:52 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: segfaults shouldn't happen | 21:53 |
| snarkster | Starnestommy: i get it | 21:53 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19464/ | 21:53 |
| snarkster | Chousuke: right I know | 21:53 |
| Starnestommy | snarkster: I can't type l's for some reason | 21:53 |
| snarkster | Starnestommy: thats cool | 21:53 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: there are three possible causes: 1) a bug in the program, 2) your binary being corrupted (reinstall might help) or 3) broken hardware, such as faulty memory | 21:53 |
| piranesi | hey I discovered that using a proxy makes me open succesfully that site!!! | 21:53 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | >hi everyone small problem ive got hardy heron and my broadcom 4311 wifi card doesnt work it worked under 7.10 but for some reason even with the restricted driver installed it doesnt find ny networks? anyone else had this :< | 21:53 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: 1 and 3 are the most common | 21:53 |
| piranesi | even with ubuntu | 21:53 |
| snarkster | Chousuke: what about corruption on a HD | 21:54 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: that falls into 2) | 21:54 |
| earthling | in 8.04 when on right click the third option says " create documents ". on moving the mouse pointer over it , it shows most recently used file.. how do stop that from happening? | 21:54 |
| snarkster | Chousuke: It is a laptop | 21:54 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: I think your ISP might be throttling you if you recently downloaded a lot | 21:54 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: is it only one app that segfaults? | 21:54 |
| homecable | how do i get more then 1 ip from dhcp to one networkcard ?? | 21:54 |
| snarkster | well i have a segfault when reloading my BOSwar game | 21:55 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, i have no clue what you mean, but i didn't download a lot recently | 21:55 |
| snarkster | and when i try to run system-config-samba | 21:55 |
| snarkster | two different partitions | 21:55 |
| Chousuke | hmm :/ | 21:55 |
| Chousuke | that might be faulty hardware. | 21:55 |
| Starnestommy | homecable: you may need to create separate logical interfaces for that card | 21:55 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: you should run memtest to see if your memory is alright | 21:56 |
| snarkster | already did that last night it good. | 21:56 |
| Chousuke | okay | 21:56 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, it is weird that everything works fine when i plug the cable, yet wen i go wireless everything goes terribly slow. another strange thing is that my connection is only two bars out of four while im sitting next to the router | 21:56 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: well, HD corruption is another possibility | 21:56 |
| snarkster | what is the comand to check the HD | 21:56 |
| HardDisk | k ill be back later...ciao | 21:56 |
| rampageoberon | grijzemens: that could just be the wireless router or wireless card | 21:56 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: the router may be going bad. Are you using any encryption? | 21:56 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: there's no way to check "a HD". You need to check the filesystem | 21:57 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: fsck is the command for that | 21:57 |
| antonio_ | alguien que halble español? | 21:57 |
| Starnestommy | !es | antonio_ | 21:57 |
| ubottu | antonio_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 21:57 |
| JC_Denton_ | how would I copy an entire partition to a new one? would ddrescue suffice? | 21:57 |
| snarkster | Chousuke: right fsck thats what i meant.. Ill have to boot up live cd and do it from there | 21:57 |
| sarthor | i cant view this font , http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/pakistan/story/2008/06/080611_pak_troops_killed_fz.shtml its arabic fonts how to install it. | 21:58 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: it might not catch all corruption though. :/ | 21:58 |
| antonio_ | gracias | 21:58 |
| Starnestommy | stabbyjoe12_: are you using the bcm43xx-fwcutter package? | 21:58 |
| snarkster | Chousuke: well thats not good | 21:58 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: better back up any important data you have as soon as possible. | 21:58 |
| rampageoberon | sarthor: try installing msttcorefonts | 21:58 |
| PaloAlto | hi | 21:58 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: how about cp -a as root ? | 21:58 |
| === _Servarium is now known as Servarium | ||
| PaloAlto | where do I put shared objects for ununtu so that executables can find them ? | 21:58 |
| joaopinto | snarkster, actually you can check the hd for back blocks, use: badblocks device | 21:58 |
| snarkster | Chousuke: its my boot drive, no important data there | 21:59 |
| zvacet | JC_Denton_ : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/backup | 21:59 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, yeah, but when a friend connects with his windows laptop everything goes smoothly | 21:59 |
| Starnestommy | PaloAlto: if it's not part of a package, use /usr/local/bin | 21:59 |
| joaopinto | PaloAlto, /usr/lib is the regular place for shared objects, aka system libs | 21:59 |
| rampageoberon | grijzemens: could be your wireless card which is bad | 21:59 |
| kyncani | PaloAlto: google for ld.so.conf | 21:59 |
| snarkster | joaopinto: can you do that while its mounted? | 21:59 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: it might be that the binaries are just corrupted *or* that they have bugs, but if more things start crashing, it's most likely the hardware | 21:59 |
| caveymason | hey ive installed vmware workstation but when i go to open it it doesnt work? :S confused any help? | 21:59 |
| _empemp_ | how can i rebuild the fstab? | 22:00 |
| _empemp_ | just added new partition and i can't copy anything to them' | 22:00 |
| grijzemens | rampageoberon, when it was gutsy everything went smoothly, i got messed up with hardy | 22:00 |
| snarkster | fstab is just a space delimited txt file | 22:00 |
| tzd | caveymason: does it start loading? | 22:00 |
| PaloAlto | ehrm, so /usr/local/lib ? | 22:00 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: in anycase, reinstall the affected software and see if that helps | 22:00 |
| caveymason | ye | 22:00 |
| snarkster | ok thank you | 22:00 |
| Starnestommy | PaloAlto: try that | 22:00 |
| JC_Denton_ | kyncani: what does the a parameter denote? | 22:00 |
| tzd | caveymason: have you run the config.pl ? | 22:00 |
| _empemp_ | snarkster: what should i type in it? | 22:00 |
| snarkster | gedit | 22:00 |
| earthling | \join ##linux | 22:00 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: preferably using apt-get --purge remove (which will remove all configuration as well) | 22:01 |
| Le2 | Hi, I've got a 7.04 server, and it can't seem to obtain an IP via DHCP, does anyone know why? | 22:01 |
| caveymason | urm it run it? but i dunnoe if it worked? | 22:01 |
| JC_Denton_ | zvacet: thanks but not exactly looking to backup the data.. | 22:01 |
| joaopinto | snarkster, no | 22:01 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: man cp is your friend, -a means archive | 22:01 |
| caveymason | it said something about its going wrogn how do i run it again | 22:01 |
| _empemp_ | shouldn't this distro beat windows xp? even windows does partitioning fine | 22:01 |
| snarkster | ah ok, well then i still need to boot live cd. | 22:01 |
| snarkster | hmm ttyl ima get to work on it now | 22:01 |
| JC_Denton_ | kyncani: I read that bit but does archive mean it's compressed as well? | 22:01 |
| Chousuke | snarkster: and do an "apt-get clean" first so it'll remove your cached packages | 22:01 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | starnestommy yes i am@/ | 22:01 |
| caveymason | how do i rerun the config.pl? | 22:02 |
| tzd | caveymason: when that thing happened to me i had to run this: sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl | 22:02 |
| compubomb | how do you force gstreamer into 44.1khz ? | 22:02 |
| Starnestommy | stabbyjoe12_: I'm looking for any information that may be of use to you | 22:02 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: nope, archive means -dpR, look each option in the manpage for an explanation | 22:02 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | starnestommy yes i am@/;0 | 22:02 |
| zvacet | JC_Denton_ : you have explanation how ddrecue work on the bottom of the page | 22:02 |
| tzd | caveymason: make sure you compile etc. just press enter to use default values | 22:02 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | why thank you:) | 22:02 |
| Starnestommy | stabbyjoe12_: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29 ? | 22:03 |
| Le2 | Hi, I've got a 7.04 server, and it can't seem to obtain an IP via DHCP, does anyone know why? It was fine up until the other day and now, all of a sudden it doesn't work... | 22:03 |
| JC_Denton_ | k, thanks guys | 22:03 |
| caveymason | Execution aborted? Says something about compiling something for my thinggg? or something? | 22:03 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, when i installed ndiswrapper, i just installed it through synapitcs, should i have done something afterwards? | 22:03 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | like it but illtry that | 22:03 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: as a side note, the rsync method zvacet gave you and the cp -a method will give the same result. And rsync would allow keeping the partition in sync with the original (if you need it). | 22:03 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: you should've used sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf | 22:04 |
| tzd | caveymason: which version of workstation are you using? And which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 22:04 |
| JC_Denton_ | kyncani: would ddrescue and cp -a give the same result too? It would seem like it from the man pages | 22:04 |
| caveymason | urmm newest ver of ubuntu | 22:04 |
| Diana | hi | 22:04 |
| macd | Le2, did you try top restart the dhclient service? | 22:04 |
| Diana | hava a problem | 22:05 |
| caveymason | andddd vmware 6.000 | 22:05 |
| Le2 | macd: what? | 22:05 |
| earthling | Le2: The DNS server is up right? | 22:05 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: nope, ddrescue is an entire different thing. | 22:05 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, can i still do that? | 22:05 |
| tzd | caveymason: ok and this is a fresh install of vmware workstation or have you had it installed and working before? | 22:05 |
| caveymason | fresh | 22:05 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: you could try doing that | 22:05 |
| Scunizi | caveymason: you trying to install vmware 1.0.6? | 22:05 |
| zvacet | caveymason : are you trying to compile | 22:05 |
| Le2 | earthling: yeah, it still goes through a router which everything else can still use fine | 22:05 |
| macd | Le2, as in 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart', and tailed dmesg to see whats going wrong? | 22:05 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, 'Error: no ndiswrapper utils found!' | 22:05 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: drescue is meant to recover whatever bits are recoverable from a non-functioning hard drive. | 22:05 |
| caveymason | VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386 | 22:06 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | no yousee the problemis it knows that the wireless is there and it knows what card it is and suposedly the drivers are there but it wont fnd any networks | 22:06 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 22:06 |
| Scunizi | caveymason: if you are google vmware and "any-any".. it's a patch.. works for workstation I think too | 22:06 |
| earthling | Le2: what do u mean by everthing else can use ? | 22:06 |
| Diana | i have install ubuntu 8.04 and after run an update i loost the sound and wireless | 22:06 |
| Le2 | macd: It's been off for the weekend because of this, dhclient says something about there being no available IPs.. | 22:06 |
| JC_Denton_ | kyncani: but if it doesnt come across any bad data it pretty much functions like a copying it all , right? | 22:06 |
| Le2 | earthling: other machines going through the same router | 22:06 |
| enneth | Does anyone know how to burn a sparseimage in Ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| macd | Le2, then the dhcp server is out of addresses it sounds like. | 22:06 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, 'install: missing destination file operand after `ndiswrapper-utils-1.9'' | 22:07 |
| Le2 | macd: but the router has been rebooted too, and there's only one other client | 22:07 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: with 'sudo apt-get' before it | 22:07 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: you should only use ddrescue if the target drive is the same size than the original drive afaik. | 22:07 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: er, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 22:07 |
| macd | Le2, not sure what to tell you then, have you tried connecting the PC directly to your broadband device? | 22:08 |
| spideyman | enneth isnt sparse image made in mac os | 22:08 |
| Scunizi | enneth: this might give you some tips http://www.scribd.com/doc/431468/Guide-to-making-a-SLDVD-Leopard-install-disc | 22:08 |
| earthling | Le2: as u are saying to macd, the error says that all the IP's the Dhcp server was leasing are exhausted | 22:08 |
| Le2 | macd: it is connected straight to the router, as is my PC | 22:08 |
| caveymason | scunizi: have you got a link to like a little how to? | 22:08 |
| JC_Denton_ | kyncani: that doesnt seem necessary according to this page http://blogs.sun.com/superpat/entry/hard_drive_recovery_ubuntu_style | 22:08 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: if that's the case, then yes ddrescue will give you and exact copy (same filesystem with the same uuid, ... ) | 22:09 |
| caveymason | scunizi: found a ftp address with some files but i dont know which files i need to do what with? | 22:09 |
| macd | Le2, Im asking you to connect the PC to the broadband device, rather than the router, to rule out one thing that could be bad | 22:09 |
| puff | Anybody know much about apt pinning? | 22:09 |
| Le2 | I dont understand how the DHCP leases can be exhausted when there is only one other box on it :/ | 22:09 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, ok thanks. i did that, and now? | 22:09 |
| Le2 | macd: we only have the router | 22:09 |
| elriol | hola | 22:09 |
| Scunizi | caveymason: once you find the any-any update there will be a how to there.. typically you start the standard install but stop when you get to the compilation process .. then run any-any and it will do it's thing and restart the install process for compilation. | 22:09 |
| kyncani | JC_Denton_: yes you can use ddrescue to a bigger drive, but cp -a is much easier (and faster) if the original drive is functionning properly | 22:09 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: locate the .inf for the windows driver, then sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/file.inf | 22:09 |
| macd | Le2, I gotcha. do you have another computer that works fine on the router? | 22:09 |
| elriol | acabo de instalas ubuntu pro primera vez me a parecido genial | 22:10 |
| earthling | Le2: are you on a Local area network . if yes how many comps are online there? | 22:10 |
| Scunizi | caveymason: it is also mentioned on vmware's site.. I think in the forums. | 22:10 |
| Le2 | macd: yeah, this computer running 8.04 | 22:10 |
| enneth | spideyman, yes.. The thing is that I bought Leopard, but my Macbook does not want to recognize DL DVDs, so I resized it first by copying it to Ubuntu and thereafter sent it to my Macbook and back after the resize.. I just cannot burn the image. :p | 22:10 |
| elriol | alguien de españa o q al menos able español? | 22:10 |
| Le2 | earthling: my machine is the only other | 22:10 |
| _adriaan | my firefox windows open fullscreen since last update (Hardy) | 22:10 |
| JC_Denton_ | kyncani: thanks will give it a shot later on. | 22:10 |
| macd | Le2, and the 8.04 box is also DHCP? | 22:10 |
| Le2 | macd: yes | 22:10 |

| grijzemens | Starnestommy, probably a stupid question: how do i locat the inf? | 22:10 |
| earthling | Le2: Is the Dhcp server there , in your LAN? | 22:11 |
| spideyman | enneth holy crap! | 22:11 |
| zvacet | !es | 22:11 |
| Le2 | earthling: the dhcp server is on the router | 22:11 |

| Starnestommy | grijzemens: do you know where you extracted the windows driver? | 22:11 |
| macd | Le2, sounds weird could be a bug but I doubt it, if youve rebooted the router and offending PC, and still have no luck, Id just configure the other machine for a static IP and be done with it. | 22:11 |
| elriol | goob bye!! | 22:11 |
| earthling | Le2: you use the router to connect to the net? | 22:11 |
| Zaiden | If I install VMWare or Virtual Box, and install Windows XP through there, can I run games like they would on windows | 22:11 |
| enneth | spideyman, you don't say so? It's really annoying. :) | 22:11 |
| Le2 | earthling: yeah | 22:11 |
| stemount^ | Zaiden: not really | 22:12 |
| Scunizi | Zaiden: as long as they don't use direct x | 22:12 |
| Le2 | macd: is there a guide to going static? i'm not great with this :( | 22:12 |
| puff | Le2: What kind of router? | 22:12 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, windows driver? is that the ndiswrapper? | 22:12 |
| Le2 | puff: one of those nasty Sky Broadband ones | 22:12 |
| puff | Le2: Static just means that you explicitly assign the IP address, both in the router and on the machine. | 22:12 |
| Zaiden | Is there a way to get Direct X working in WINE? | 22:12 |
| puff | Le2: Did you check on the router's web admin interface? | 22:12 |
| Lifeisfunny | I have a problem with my copy/cut/paste ............ it's not working. | 22:12 |
| K^Holtz | I am trying to install Ubuntu on a brand new hard drive on my laptop, i put the disk in and turned on the computer, but it keeps coming up Operating System Not Found, i checked bios and it is supposed to load from an optical drive first, then the hdd | 22:12 |
| === Carpe|Diem is now known as CarpeDiem | ||
| pub | how do i put stuff into the tray | 22:12 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: ndisrwapper is a tool that is used for loading windows networking drivers. You still need to actually download those drivers and use ndiswrapper to load them | 22:13 |
| === Carpe|Diem_ is now known as Carpe|Diem | ||
| Le2 | but how do I go about setting up the devices for static IPs? | 22:13 |
| talntid | I have Ubuntu running on an intel graphics card and a Samsung 216BW monitor -- on the screen settings, there is no 216bw, so I set it to 226bw - very similar.. but now it only allows 1600x1200 as the maximum, but I need 1680x1050 -- ideas? | 22:13 |
| talntid | so I need to add a modeline to Xorg.conf, and add the resolution to it? if so, what do all the numbers mean on the modeline? | 22:13 |
| Xcell | pub right click.. click (add) | 22:13 |
| _adriaan | Zaiden: wine already implement a lot of directx functionality through their own libraries | 22:13 |
| Scunizi | puff, Le2 some routers can be left to do dhcp and you can still assign a static ip on a specific machine .. at that machine. not router. | 22:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Le2 Not one of those bandrich - c100 | 22:13 |
| macd | Le2, what I would do is, on the working machine issue "ifconfig" then take those settings and change the ip address by one digit on the very end, then on the offending PC, left click the network icon in the systray then select manual configuration, then key all those settings in there. | 22:13 |
| earthling | Le2: can you tell how you initially configured your computer to get your internet working? | 22:13 |
| Le2 | Jack_Sparrow: huh? | 22:13 |
| pub | damn, lost that option with fluxbox | 22:13 |
| pub | haha | 22:13 |
| puff | Le2: Step one, bring up your router's admin interface in a web browser. | 22:13 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, oh ok. so how do i download the drivers i need? | 22:13 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 22:13 |
| _adriaan | Zaiden: but there is no way of 'installing' directx in wine as far as i know | 22:13 |
| puff | Scunizi: Yo can do it, but ti's not wise. | 22:13 |
| Le2 | earthling: it worked form day one straight from the installer | 22:14 |
| puff | Scunizi: You can arbitrarily assign a static IP to a PC and it will work - most or some of the time, depending on how congested your network is. | 22:14 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: If it's a linksys card, the drivers are probably on its website somewhere | 22:14 |
| kyncani | K^Holtz: you have already installed from the cdrom or you're trying to boot the cdrom ? | 22:14 |
| BCM43 | Starnestommy: is it a broadcom | 22:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Le2 Is your shy broadband one of those bandrich - c100 chipsets? | 22:14 |
| Zaiden | I can't seem to get anything to work in ubuntu | 22:14 |
| puff | Scunizi: Or if no other device on the network happens to get assigned the same static IP. | 22:14 |
| puff | Er, same numeric IP. | 22:14 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, a US Robotics | 22:14 |
| Le2 | Jack_Sparrow: I don't have a clue, it's one of the newer Sagem ones | 22:14 |
| _adriaan | Zaiden: that's not a question, is it :) | 22:14 |
| earthling | Le2: follow macd | 22:14 |
| spideyman | enneth have you tried to convert it | 22:14 |
| Scunizi | puff, I understand.. | 22:14 |
| _adriaan | Zaiden: if you want to install games, you should check out the app database @ wine | 22:15 |
| Le2 | macd: there is no gui on the server | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | _adriaan: what cant you get to work? | 22:15 |
| _adriaan | Zaiden: they give detailed insturctions on how to get most games installed | 22:15 |
| macd | Le2, ahh even easier then, can you pastebin your ifconfig output from the working machine please? | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb | 22:15 |
| enneth | spideyman, yes, to an ISO, but it does not work. | 22:15 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | _adriaan: sorry Zaiden what cant you get to work? | 22:15 |
| Le2 | sure, 1min | 22:15 |
| enneth | Will not boot it. | 22:15 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: look for ralink drivers for windows | 22:15 |
| spideyman | enneth with what? | 22:15 |
| puff | Le2: Bring up a new browser window, point it at 192.168.0.1 | 22:16 |
| enneth | Disc Utility in OS X. | 22:16 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: linksys and us robotics often use ralink chipsets | 22:16 |

| FabParma | [OT] Does exist a VM/CPU-emulator that can let chooses which cpu (amd or intel) to use into the guest enviroment w/o ties with host hw config? Thank You for help me, Fab | 22:16 |
| heymr | can I make mutt format html messages using lynx? | 22:16 |
| Scunizi | puff, however if you go static on the router (dhcp setting) you have to set static ip's for all the machines on the lan.. some routers will allow a "static" dhcp setting based on mac address | 22:16 |
| Le2 | yeah I dont want to go static all over the place | 22:16 |
| Starnestommy | FabParma: try qemu | 22:16 |
| macd | Le2, ok great now open the file on the offending machine 'sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces' | 22:16 |
| Le2 | I'd prefer to use DHCP, but its stopped working for the bad machine | 22:16 |
| Le2 | macd: ok | 22:16 |
| puff | Scunizi: Depends on the router, many of them will let you reserve an IP range and not hand them out via DHCP. | 22:16 |
| heymr | can I make mutt format html messages using lynx? | 22:16 |
| BCM43 | Zaiden: any errors? what is wrong with them? | 22:16 |
| Starnestommy | heymr: I don't think so | 22:17 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, thanks. im trying to find the driver | 22:17 |
| wnstn | is this the right place for a install question? or is there a different room? | 22:17 |
| puff | Scunizi: And many of them will let you assign "static DHCP", meaning that the DHCP server will consisstenyl assgin that IP to that device. | 22:17 |
| BCM43 | wnstn: here is fine | 22:17 |
| Le2 | i can reserve IPs by MAC in the router's DHCP settings, thats what I used to do | 22:17 |
| homecable | how do i get more then 1 ip from dhcp to one networkcard | 22:17 |
| puff | heymr: For disply, yes, I use it all the time. Or elinks, or links. | 22:17 |
| heymr | Starnestommy: or something?? it just shows html can I at least sed out the tags? | 22:17 |
| homecable | i need to find out how to get more then 1 ip | 22:17 |
| Le2 | macd: what do I have to do in this file | 22:17 |
| Scunizi | puff: my dlink allowed me to set a specific ip for a machine and then dhcp the remaining machines.. however my linksys won't.. yes.. we're on the same page. | 22:17 |
| heymr | puff: inline mutt? how? | 22:17 |
| Zaiden | BCM43: Call of Duty 4 keeps giving me direct x errors. Ragnarok Online will launch the patcher, but it always freezes (on a private server by the way). | 22:17 |
| spideyman | enneth there is almost always a work around just dont give up it took me 4 days to figure out how to handle cdi images | 22:17 |
| macd | Le2, http://pastebin.com/m2cd9c5bb <-- thats what ;) | 22:17 |
| Starnestommy | wnstn: it is | 22:18 |
| puff | heymr: Come to think of it, I've never had to set that up, I guess when I installed mutt and links it set it up for me. | 22:18 |
| heymr | puff: or do you download and then open with lynx? | 22:18 |
| zvacet | wnstn :just ask you are on the right place | 22:18 |
| Le2 | macd: cool i'll take a look, thanks | 22:18 |
| wnstn | I am trying to do a live cd install on a friends laptop. and I am having a problem | 22:18 |
| wnstn | :( | 22:18 |
| puff | heymr: No, trydoing info ("i") on the message to display the parts, navigate to the HTML part and hit enter. | 22:18 |
| wnstn | It appears its stuck during resizing the partitions | 22:18 |
| _adriaan | I'm going to bump (?) an earlier question: since the last update, my firefox window all open in fullscreen mode (on hardy), anyone having the same problem or a solution? | 22:18 |
| macd | Le2, then after pasting that in, restart networking with 'sudo /etc/init,d/networking restart' all should be well. | 22:18 |
| wnstn | its been at 0% for a good 15 min and i can hear the drive working but the bar isn't moving | 22:19 |
| heymr | puff: so it uses links? | 22:19 |
| puff | heymr: Yeah. | 22:19 |
| wnstn | am i over reacting or should I be at like 1% by now? | 22:19 |

| BCM43 | wnstn: how long? | 22:19 |
| wnstn | @ BCM42: about 15 minutes now | 22:20 |
| BCM43 | wnstn: nvmind, saw it | 22:20 |
| heymr | puff: installed links.. still not parsing it | 22:20 |

| aoupi | I can't unmount /dev/shm. umount says: "umount: /dev/shm: device is busy" and 'lsof /dev/shm' gives no result. Is there someway to force umount? | 22:20 |
| wnstn | and its a brand new laptop. | 22:20 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, is it installed nw? | 22:20 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| macd | aoupi, its not the best idea, what are you trying todo? | 22:20 |
| kyncani | wnstn: I would open a terminal and check the system activity with top. You can also use the system monitor. If it's working, then it must be moving data to resize te partition. | 22:20 |
| wnstn | what should I do? | 22:21 |
| aoupi | macd: make /dev/shm bigger | 22:21 |
| Starnestommy | grijzemens: not yet. First, extract it with tar xzf RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6.tar.gz | 22:21 |
| wnstn | ok ill try that hold on | 22:21 |
| earthling | macd : what was le's problem ? did not get what he wanted ? | 22:21 |
| puff | heymr: Did you restart mutt? | 22:21 |

| heymr | puff: yes | 22:21 |
| grijzemens | Starnestommy, getting really hopeless over here :) | 22:21 |
| aoupi | macd: I just need to up it from 250 to 400 | 22:21 |
| macd | "sudo mount -o remount,size=400M /dev/shm" | 22:21 |
| earthling | Lifeisfunny : what error message are u getting? | 22:22 |
| heymr | puff: oh maybe its reading from cache? | 22:22 |
| aoupi | macd: /me facepalms | 22:22 |

| puff | heymr: Might be in muttrc, one sec. | 22:23 |
| heymr | puff: maybe for older version? | 22:23 |
| kyncani | wnstn: afaik, resizing a partition involve moving all data to the beginning of the partition. So if it's a reasonably large and full partition, reading all this data and writing it at the beginning of the partition will take some time. And involve quite some hard drive activity. | 22:23 |
| Lifeisfunny | no | 22:23 |
| stabbyjoe12_ | i cant think off any | 22:23 |

| Le2 | macd: then all of a sudden earlier this week it just wouldnt work | 22:24 |
| aoupi | macd: win98 here I come :D | 22:24 |

| Lifeisfunny | earthling, I have to cut and paste ......... can't copy and paste | 22:31 |
| Darlok_Williams | How do I use ls to display all files EXCEPT for a certain filetype? | 22:31 |
| nosa-1 | massimo: getdeb.net | 22:31 |
| kyncani | tomoyuki28jp: and that way, if the new ubuntu does not work for you, you just have to copy everything back, setup grub and you're fine :) | 22:31 |
| sapph424 | kyn: I was afraid of that. What would be the best Ubuntu-based util to convert a filesystem from, say, NTFS to FAT32? | 22:31 |
| nosa-1 | look arounff ther its near the bottem massimo | 22:32 |
| spideyman | Lifeisfunny, does ctrl c and v work? | 22:32 |
| massimo | ok thanks nosa-1, will do | 22:32 |
| macd | HappyHater, I couldnt either, I ent up using twonkymedia. | 22:32 |
| nosa-1 | np | 22:32 |
| kyncani | sapph424: don't think such a thing exist. But ntfs support should be fine now (don't know personnally though) | 22:32 |
| Lifeisfunny | spideyman, no, I have to ctrl+x and then ctrl+v | 22:32 |
| [d0wn] | Hi, I have a 1024 cylinder limit, and need to know the proper bios settings to get past only 1024 | 22:32 |
| macd | HappyHater, its free for 30days, costs like 30 bux (usd) after and you get free upgrades, well worth it. | 22:32 |
| HappyHater | macd, does it work for video and audio? | 22:33 |
| sapph424 | My NTFS volumes all seem to be read only. | 22:33 |

| omaremad | help i jsut got a broken libc6 pachage and fixing it requires removing a ton of important pakages | 22:36 |
| kyncani | Darlok_Williams: you use ls and grep. You will need to read some docs about it though | 22:36 |
| falconfox | Xcell: new install, first time. | 22:36 |
| omaremad | how do i fix things without removing these packages | 22:36 |
| zvacet | NorthiestPole : did you tried interminal pppoeconf to see if it is recognized | 22:36 |
| omaremad | or at least auto reinstal | 22:36 |
| Xcell | falconfox-- whats not working | 22:36 |
| NorthiestPole | zvacet: Hmm.. I'll try. | 22:36 |
| falconfox | im trying to do dual monitors, and i was trying to install my drivers first | 22:37 |
| Darlok_Williams | kyncani: Yeah, I figured it was something like that... but I don't know how to make grep work in reverse ;) | 22:37 |
| omaremad | always try dual monitors thru nvdida-settings | 22:37 |

| phynix | Has anyone gotton the tv-out on a Radeon 9200 PRO | 22:37 |
| falconfox | Xcell, all i have done is installed ubuntu and all the updates | 22:37 |
| earthling | Darlok_Williams : "grep -v pattern" i guess | 22:37 |
| falconfox | then i went to nvidia.com and started following the instructions for doing linux | 22:37 |
| Darlok_Williams | Another question: Is it possible to let all users on my system share an F-Spot database? | 22:37 |
| Lifeisfunny | well thanks for the help earthling and spideyman | 22:37 |
| Xcell | ok falconfox system\admin\restricted drivers | 22:38 |

| _empemp_ | could anyone help me build my fstab? | 22:38 |
| kyncani | Darlok_Williams: yep, you do need to read some basic grep howto. | 22:38 |
| NorthiestPole | zvacet: Well, it did recognize it there, and apparently ifconfig shows it too, but it just has no IP. I'll check /etc/network/interfaces | 22:38 |
| abdulla | hello everyone.. how can i add the network managar to my panel? i cant find it :S | 22:38 |
| zvacet | NorthiestPole : so you need to configure it | 22:39 |
| falconfox | Xcell: i don't have "restricted drivers" | 22:39 |
| zvacet | NorthiestPole : wired or wireless | 22:39 |
| abdulla | how can i add the network managar to my panel? i cant find it | 22:39 |
| puff | So, anybody wanna advise me on pinning my kernel at -16? | 22:40 |
| macd | abdulla, right click, add to panel "network monitor" | 22:40 |
| caveymason | hey guysss help me pwease | 22:40 |
| abdulla | i cant find network monitor | 22:40 |
| puff | Using synaptic, I can lock the kernel image itself, but it advises me to lock linux-image-generic. | 22:40 |
| NorthiestPole | zvacet: Right, I configured it now and doing /etc/init.d/networking restart. Apparently it doesn't seem to discover my router while configured via DHCP | 22:40 |
| NorthiestPole | zvacet: and it complains about /etc/resolv.conf being missing | 22:40 |
| caveymason | when i run sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl it keeps saying exicution aborted? help pleassseee | 22:40 |
| chaos_personifie | abdulla it's /usr/bin/network-admin | 22:41 |
| earthling | Darlok_Williams : its working for me , but "ls -l |grep -v Down" lists all files not havin "Down". | 22:41 |
| abdulla | i found it | 22:41 |

| thorny_sun | why is my vim-rails package install not available from my gvim? | 22:41 |
| Xcell | falconfox-- go to system\prefs\appearances\visual effects...click on last button | 22:41 |
| puff | poypoy: In theroy, no. | 22:41 |
| abdulla | but when i click configure it says: The interface does not exist | 22:41 |
| macd | abdulla, its in the list of available applets, if its not, install it "sudo apt-get install gnome-netstatus-applet" | 22:41 |
| earthling | Darlok_Williams : what did you mean by filetype ? | 22:41 |
| puff | poypoy: But it depends to some degree on the image data. | 22:41 |
| macd | abdulla, err, wrong applet | 22:41 |
| zvacet | NorthiestPole : network>DNS tab> put yur nameservers there> | 22:42 |
| macd | abdulla, its called "netapplet" | 22:42 |
| falconfox | Xcell: thanks. i am downloading and installing the new software | 22:42 |
| Darlok_Williams | earthling: Well, I was trying to list all files in a directory that did NOT have a .JPG or .jpg extension. | 22:42 |
| NorthiestPole | zvacet: Alright. | 22:42 |
| chaos_personifie | at first he was asking for network manager | 22:42 |
| Darlok_Williams | earthling: I used your example the first time with "*.JPG"... needed to get rid of the wildcard | 22:42 |
| falconfox | XCell: im restarting now... ill brb | 22:42 |
| puff | poypoy: In a nutshell, you only have so much image data. You can scale up the image without losing "quality" only until your output resolution is more detailed than your image data resolution. | 22:42 |
| poypoy | well tay are pictures off my 3.2 mp mobile phone but i wont them to show on my pc as standed size pictures | 22:43 |
| Fingertip | I have a problem with the installation. Apparently ubuntu fails to recognize my screen for the windowing system to work. | 22:43 |
| abdulla | i cant find it | 22:43 |
| Xcell | ok falconfox go to sys\prefs\main menue.. and click to (other) make sure (screens and graphics are checked | 22:43 |
| abdulla | i cant find netapplet :S | 22:43 |
| zvacet | NorthiestPole : if you use router don´t delete first line jujst add one or two more | 22:43 |
| earthling | Darlok_Williams : its working now then ? | 22:43 |
| puff | poypoy: There are programs that attempt to fake it, pretty much the same way that a human being would - it finds the edges and curves, scales up, and attempts to massage the data to match. I've had friends say they got pretty good results with that. | 22:44 |
| HappyHater | how do I run a shell script? | 22:44 |

| puff | HappyHater: Open a terminal, go to the directory containing the shell script file, enter ./shellscriptfilename.sh<enter> | 22:44 |
| poypoy | no open software that can do it then | 22:44 |
| PaulEU | I have problem with installation Sylpheed2 | 22:45 |
| puff | HappyHater: If the script is marked as executable, that should do it. If it's not marked as executable, you should seriously ask yourself why it isn't. | 22:45 |
| PaulEU | today installed fresh 8.04 and updated all | 22:45 |
| puff | poypoy: I have no idea if open sofware equivalents exist. If they do, they're probably not widely known. | 22:45 |

| NorthiestPole | zvacet: Well, I added the nameservers, but It still isn't able to get an IP via DHCP. I tried doing static too, but then I can't even ping my router. | 22:46 |
| PaulEU | is it bug in packages? | 22:46 |
| maxb | Is anyone using smbfs/cifs here, and finding that the default file permissions are *really* bizarre? | 22:46 |
| abdulla | the netstatus does not appear | 22:46 |
| Xcell | ok falconfox go to sys\main menu\other...make sure screens and graphics is checked | 22:46 |

| falconfox | Xcell: alright, checked | 22:47 |
| NorthiestPole | zvacet: I think it was 255.255.255.0 last time I checked | 22:47 |

| _adriaan | DIL: use sudo command instead | 23:07 |
| DIL | jeed, i understand but i was able to do in the past - is it new with 8.04 | 23:07 |

| kyncani | sapph424: well if that's so, you can either 1) solve this hardy problem 2) wait for intrepid (8.10) and hope it works and then get firefox 3. (Sorry about the two not so good choices) | 23:07 |

| abdulla | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19474/ | 23:07 |
| HardDisk | |seb|, use audacious | 23:08 |
| Starnestommy | PaulEU: what happens when you run "sudo apt-get install claws-mail" ? | 23:08 |
| HardDisk | |seb|, instead of xmms2 | 23:08 |
| jeed | _adriaan, if you cant trust someone with a root pass, hand them an XP install cd and send them on their way ;) | 23:08 |

| Starnestommy | PaulEU: try installing it | 23:09 |
| PaulEU | or use solution via zvacet | 23:09 |
| PaulEU | ? | 23:09 |
| _adriaan | jeed: not sure I understand what you're saying. Anyway, giving root a passqword instead of using sudo has been extensively documented, and it's not supported by the ubuntu devs | 23:09 |
| DIL | _adriaan: i did, and now the case is the same but getting -admin cant login from login screen | 23:09 |
| HardDisk | Hoenikker, you need to follow the guide to install xp after ubuntu is installed. | 23:09 |
| sfire | Hoenikker: yes.. it will overwrite grub | 23:09 |
| PaulEU | Starnestommy: ok, I'll install it | 23:09 |
| Hoenikker | where is that guide? | 23:09 |
| kyncani | sapph424: it's not too bad as there is a new version every six months, you will only have to wait four more months | 23:09 |
| zvacet | PaulEU : you should get same result | 23:09 |

| PaulEU | zvacet: I should select which package? | 23:16 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, then use the windows cd to make the NTFS partition | 23:16 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, create free space for windows, then let windows see the freespace and do it that way | 23:17 |

| ubottu | pub: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 23:24 |
| NorthiestPole` | zvacet: It turned out the cable was 2mm out. | 23:25 |
| djgizmo | wow, this room is big | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _empemp_ Do they keep changing numbers around on you | 23:25 |
| NorthiestPole` | zvacet: I feel stupid. | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NorthiestPole` we have all done that at one time or another.. dont worry | 23:25 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, I'd avoid the UUID route and mount it without them..but that's my opinion | 23:25 |
| NorthiestPole` | zvacet: Very, Very, Very, stupid. | 23:25 |
| pub | Ah, well, i am running fluxbox already but want to add some "widgets" from http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/index.html | 23:25 |
| djgizmo | lol | 23:25 |
| NorthiestPole` | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, still pretty stupid. | 23:25 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: I did everything and the same error exist :( | 23:25 |
| _empemp_ | Jack_Sparrow: well, i made some changes to my partitions, and no it won't mount. when i mount manually after boot, it says i don't have permission to write to it | 23:25 |
| HardDisk | NorthiestPole, better than your hardware turns out to have failures. | 23:26 |
| rdz | why are some things, that were supported in dapper, not supported anymore in hardy? some special buttons of my laptop are know just ignored. before, one button was used to toggle the touchpad on/off | 23:26 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, you need to chown your drive | 23:26 |
| rdz | *now | 23:26 |
| PaulEU | how can I get older version of packages? | 23:26 |
| nickrud | _empemp_, I like to use labels for my mounts, ls /dev/disk/by-label | 23:26 |
| djgizmo | anyone here familiar how to intall a simple gui for 8.04 server? | 23:26 |
| PaulEU | maybe there is a mistake? | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !keys | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 23:26 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, try apt-cache policy claws-mail , and put the output on paste.ubuntu.com | 23:26 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, xfce, fluxbox, e17? | 23:27 |
| rdz | Jack_Sparrow, thanks for the suggestions | 23:27 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: ok | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:27 |
| K^Holtz | what is the difference between Primary and Logical? how come that unused windows is primary while all other are logical? | 23:27 |
| djgizmo | HardDisk: which ever will use the least resources / give the most system admistrative tools | 23:27 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: http://rafb.net/p/WR8Mvg37.html | 23:27 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, you can't have more than 4 primary partitions | 23:27 |
| thorny_sun | any one here use vim? where is my plugin directory under hardy? | 23:27 |
| rdz | Jack_Sparrow, will htat work, even if pressing those keys doesn't show anything at all in xev? | 23:27 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, then go with flux or fvwm | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz limit of 4 primary partitions. | 23:28 |
| K^Holtz | weird, the 2nd partition i made was labeled sda5 | 23:28 |
| djgizmo | HardDisk: Can you provide me a link or some instructions how to install either one of those? | 23:28 |
| HardDisk | that's normal K^Holtz | 23:28 |
| K^Holtz | guess thats the 4 primary thing :) | 23:28 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: and it's properly? | 23:28 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, do you have your server installed already? | 23:28 |
| djgizmo | yep | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz to get around the limit you can go up to three primary partitions and one extended, then logicals are created inside the extended | 23:28 |
| HardDisk | !fluxbox | djgizmo | 23:28 |
| ubottu | djgizmo: fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 23:28 |
| _empemp_ | hmm | 23:29 |
| _empemp_ | could i paste my fstab at pastebin.no so you could have a look? | 23:29 |
| HardDisk | sure | 23:29 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, it's installed, the correct claws-mail. I think there's a bug in the sylpheed-claws-gtk2 package a sec | 23:29 |
| _empemp_ | thx | 23:29 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: ill just leave the linux ones as logical as u told me to do before as long as it performs the same | 23:29 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: can you check this package to install? | 23:30 |
| djgizmo | Thanks ubottu, I'll go look at that | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz So you have sda1 primary sda2 extended , you created your first logical at sda5 | 23:30 |
| tdela | does anyone here use cross over office? if so what are your thoughts on it, I need to design but I don't like to boot to windows too often to do it, if i could use an alternative, i would be in heaven. | 23:30 |
| darrend | !paste | 23:30 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 23:30 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, it's a bot :) I pasted the info for you | 23:30 |
| tdela | ...or are there alternatives to cx office | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz It will work fine | 23:30 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: i only have that windows space as primary | 23:30 |
| HardDisk | tdela, I suggest you install virtualbox | 23:30 |
| _empemp_ | http://www.pastebin.no/7827 | 23:30 |
| _empemp_ | there is my fstab | 23:30 |
| HardDisk | tdela, install virtualbox, then install windows in a vm environment, most developers use this method. | 23:30 |
| Ryand-Smith | Hey all | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz that is all you need for primary | 23:31 |
| _empemp_ | what more info do i need to paste for you to see where i all go wrong? | 23:31 |
| hp | question, how do you find out if your computer is 64-bit or 32-bit? | 23:31 |
| tdela | HardDisk: oh really? not slow at all? | 23:31 |
| tdela | HardDisk: is it free? | 23:31 |
| HardDisk | tdela, yes it's free www.virtualbox.org | 23:31 |
| djgizmo | hp: do you have a AMD 64 or a Core 2 duo cpu? | 23:31 |
| tdela | awesome, thanks. | 23:31 |
| Ryand-Smith | check administration then system monitor | 23:31 |
| tdela | again :) | 23:31 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, doing that very thing, and getting very odd behavior A sec | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | You should create a logical of around 10+ a logical filling up all but 2-4 gigs of the extended and a swap with the last 2-4 | 23:31 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: so far i did 20 gigs sda1 primary, 10 gigs sda5 logical / , 20 gigs sda6 /home | 23:31 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, or 2 :) | 23:31 |
| hp | conky say i have a AMD Turion 64 Mobile tech cpu | 23:31 |
| HardDisk | tdela, if you need USB2.0 support and extra features install the one from sun, the OSE version is in the repo's but is not as feature filled as the regular. | 23:32 |
| Ryand-Smith | Also, I think somehow my update broke my ubuntu | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz great.. add a swap and you are ready to rumble | 23:32 |
| HardDisk | tdela, personally I run 2 vm's one xp and one windows 2003 server | 23:32 |
| djgizmo | HP: you have a 64 bit pc | 23:32 |
| hp | djgizmo: hmmmm, hahahaha so i've been using 32 bit ubuntu | 23:32 |
| JannoTT | roflcopter. i was on holyday for 2 weeks and now there are 200mb of updates to do. With that rate my sys hard drive will be full soon. | 23:32 |
| darrend | hi - is anyone able to diagnose the following output..? I assume hardware rather than driver problem, but not sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19478/ | 23:32 |
| tdela | HardDisk: Thanks, I just need photoshop and illustrator though, perhaps visual studio but I can't imagine I'll be doing any C# work anymore. | 23:32 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: ok, I'll wait.. Yesterday I've lost one HDD, today I bought new a must install fresh system eh | 23:32 |
| tdela | even so, this looks good. | 23:32 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: i still have 28 gigs left tho | 23:32 |
| HardDisk | tdela, the good thing about vm's it won't affect anything else, imagine an OS inside it's own personal bubble anything happens, delete it and start over. | 23:32 |
| tdela | thanks. | 23:32 |
| djgizmo | hehe, it's ok. 32 bit works fine on 64 bit pcs. | 23:32 |
| HardDisk | tdela, photoshop CS2 works under wine in ubuntu | 23:33 |
| djgizmo | HP: just 32 bit apps dont work on 64 bit OS's | 23:33 |
| tdela | ah, im a cs3 user. | 23:33 |
| tdela | thats ok, vbox looks the best. | 23:33 |
| HardDisk | tdela, but yes install virtualbox for all those packages | 23:33 |
| tdela | why do i get so much spam on freenode now, amazing. | 23:33 |
| _empemp_ | HardDisk: you got my link? | 23:33 |
| tdela | feels like dalnet :p | 23:33 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, I thought someone else was helping you | 23:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz make another ext3 or anything you like | 23:33 |
| hp | djgizmo: do you think using a different version would mess up my graphic card? 'cuz nvidia keep crashing when i installed the driver | 23:33 |
| jeed | tdela, heard the CS3 portable edition works on wine | 23:34 |
| HardDisk | I only have two hands and two eyeballs :D | 23:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbl | 23:34 |
| Ryand-Smith | Ok, so does anyone know what gzip stdout: No space left on device means, when trying to install the new boot/intitrd | 23:34 |
| K^Holtz | When i create the /swap, i want to do END as location for the new partition? | 23:34 |
| HardDisk | don't leave me jacky! | 23:34 |
| macd | Ryand-Smith, its out of space on the /bot partition. | 23:34 |
| K^Holtz | nevermind, if i make the rest extended, it will all work out | 23:34 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, ok I'll check your problem | 23:34 |
| tdela | jeed: Interesting, perhaps ill look into that as well. So far, i think vbox is my answer. | 23:34 |
| Darlok_Williams | Is it possible to let all users on my system share an F-Spot database? | 23:34 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, can you paste it again? | 23:34 |
| tdela | s/me/the | 23:34 |
| Ryand-Smith | Hey macd | 23:34 |
| _empemp_ | http://www.pastebin.no/7827 | 23:34 |
| Ryand-Smith | how do you clear the /bot partition | 23:34 |
| montpelie | hi buddies, is there anyway I can get rid of the previous kernel versions that have been installed on my system through the Update Manager??? | 23:34 |
| HardDisk | !nfs | Darlok_Williams | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Darlok_Williams: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 23:34 |
| legend2440 | _empemp_: in a terminal type sudo blkid and make sure the UUID numbers in fstab are right | 23:34 |
| jeed | tdela, it usually is for windows designers, aslong as you got a dual core prosessor and plenty of ram, that is | 23:35 |
| Ryand-Smith | my hard drive still has a gig or so left | 23:35 |
| jarco | hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second). Ftp and samba give same results. Why is it slow from ubuntu and not from other computers ? | 23:35 |
| HardDisk | !samba | Darlok_Williams | 23:35 |
| ubottu | Darlok_Williams: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:35 |
| macd | Ryand-Smith, you should use synaptic to remove some of your older kernels no longer in use. | 23:35 |
| mad_max02 | Ryand-Smith, clean apt-get | 23:35 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, as legend2440 said | 23:35 |
| Ryand-Smith | Synaptuc refuses to start up | 23:35 |
| pub | how gDesklets, does anybody use that? | 23:35 |
| Ryand-Smith | PArdon the typo daemon | 23:35 |
| Ryand-Smith | It told me to dpkg --configure | 23:35 |
| djgizmo | HardDisk: Thank you for the suggestion of fluxbox. I've got it installed and i'm in :) YIPPY. | 23:35 |
| adelie42 | Hello, I am tryig to do some remixing, but audacity seems to desire complete control over the audio or won't work at all. Basically, I can't have Audacity and Hydrogen open at the same time. any suggestions? | 23:35 |
| Ryand-Smith | and for some reason (yes I added the -a) it did not work | 23:35 |
| mad_max02 | pub, easy gDesklets, some people use that | 23:36 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, :) | 23:36 |
| tdela | jeed: I dont have duo core heh :( | 23:36 |
| Neuer | Hello. I have a probleme with my Sound. I'm useing Hardy Kubuntu and the soundchip is SI7012. The probleme is, no sound works, but if I start amarok it does for that, though I cannüt let 2 programms run at the same time | 23:36 |
| Darlok_Williams | HardDisk: Wow... that pretty much has nothing to do with what I'm trying to do. | 23:36 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: how do i specify swap? | 23:36 |
| rdz | adelie42, try using the jack audio server | 23:36 |
| HardDisk | Darlok_Williams, you want to share right? | 23:36 |
| rdz | adelie42, aptitude install qjackctl | 23:36 |
| RULR | fatal error in Mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device | 23:36 |
| pub | i want to get the weather one to work, but no matter what i put in for location it doesn't update | 23:36 |
| jeed | tdela, anything dual core, otherwise windows inside *nix tends to be quite laggy, esp if your running CS3 on top :), its double the OS and double the resources | 23:36 |
| jarco | hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second). Ftp and samba give same results. Why is it slow from ubuntu and not from other computers ? | 23:36 |
| rdz | adelie42, prepend 'sudo' of course | 23:36 |
| mad_max02 | Neuer, does your sound work or not ? | 23:36 |
| _empemp_ | http://www.pastebin.no/7828 | 23:36 |
| _empemp_ | there is the output from the command | 23:36 |
| Darlok_Williams | HardDisk: On one computer, yes. | 23:37 |
| HardDisk | ah | 23:37 |
| HardDisk | you didn't say that | 23:37 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, I'm not able to install it here either. aptitude fails without an error, so something is not right here. You should file a bug report, bugs.ubuntu.com and attach http://rafb.net/p/ACfFmj83.html | 23:37 |
| creeed | my mouse is desactivated when I use the keyboard how can I fix the problem? | 23:37 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: how do i specify space used for swap? | 23:37 |
| Darlok_Williams | HardDisk: Well, I said "system" not "network" :) | 23:37 |
| HardDisk | Darlok_Williams, sorry. And no I don't know how. | 23:37 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, you create it in gparted.. | 23:37 |
| tdela | jeed: I remember back in the day I used crossover office with photoshop 7.0 flawlessy for a year or so, I don't plan on doing heavy design work in linux, more like flatten the psd and grab some sections of it as a I built web applications. So i don't think memory or CPU is going to be a real issue. | 23:37 |
| Darlok_Williams | HardDisk: Alright, thanks anyway:) | 23:37 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: it's not possible to install force? | 23:37 |
| montpelie | hey madmax you said "clean apt-get" ??? | 23:38 |
| tdela | jeed: though I could be wrong :) | 23:38 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: so i have to do it after i install ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| Neuer | mad_max02: actually. no. The system sounds dont work nor anything else. Only Amarok or other multimedia progs, but only one at a time. I had a similar probleme iwth Feisty, but i got ir to work. unfortuantly all steps fail for hardy | 23:38 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, you can do it now, or during install. | 23:38 |
| adelie42 | rdz, already installed (just yesterday for something else) | 23:38 |
| manu3l | Hi, any talk spanish? | 23:38 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: or I can install other version: claws-mail ? | 23:38 |
| RULR | i have problems with mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. | 23:38 |
| akonkwa | !flash | 23:38 |
| === jansen_ is now known as jansen | ||
| Ryand-Smith | Ok mad_max02 I attempted to correct the mistake | 23:38 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, the -f install is -fix not -force. And no, the error is at the dpkg level | 23:38 |
| jeed | tdela, if you use a VM its gunna put the resources of windows + the vm backend running on top of the resources your linux uses, so it can get laggy | 23:38 |
| === Bodsda_ is now known as Bodsda | ||
| rdz | adelie42, then make sure, that both applications are using it | 23:38 |

| ubottu | manu3l: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:38 |

| ZiggyFish | Every time, I update the kernel in Ubuntu 8.04. I have to link a module in to it. is there a way to stop the kernel from updating | 23:38 |
| manu3l | ok | 23:38 |
| HardDisk | jeed, only if doesn't have enough ram | 23:38 |
| Ryand-Smith | but I got the error -gzip: stdout: No space left on device | 23:39 |
| Ryand-Smith | update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-18-rt | 23:39 |
| jeed | HardDisk, also if the prosessor isnt very good | 23:39 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, did you create your root yet? | 23:39 |
| mad_max02 | Neuer, well if amarok works then ur sound works. Try usin alsa for all sounds. | 23:39 |
| jeed | tdela, whats your prosessor/ram? | 23:39 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: I'll do bug raport | 23:39 |
| HardDisk | jeed, it works fine on a P4 2.2 with hardly any lag | 23:39 |
| akonkwa | I'm running ubuntu 8.04 Everytime I encounter flash in my browser, I have to click on it to play. When on dailymotion it doesn't work at all. any help? | 23:39 |
| tdela | jeed: ahh, I have 3GB of ram and an AMD 2.2GHz | 23:39 |
| HardDisk | tdela, you're perfect. | 23:39 |
| jeed | tdela, thats enough | 23:39 |
| tdela | okay :) | 23:40 |
| Neuer | I did, but the system sounds do not work. If I have amarok on and for instance run kafeine, I get a message that a probleme occured and the soundserver is already in use etc. | 23:40 |

| HardDisk | _empemp_, no ...too many people :/ can you do it again sorry.. | 23:40 |
| bobstro | akonkwa: that's an option that you can disable. hang on and i'll find the package to remove. | 23:41 |
| legend2440 | _empemp_: see how uuid numbers don't match what you have in fstab ? | 23:41 |
| HardDisk | _empemp_, legend2440> _empemp_: in a terminal type sudo blkid and make sure the UUID numbers in fstab are right | 23:41 |
| Ryand-Smith | Ok | 23:41 |
| jeed | ZiggyFish, for all i knew tdela could have been using 256mb ram on a P2, he never told us the specs, so just go crawl back into your hole instead of trying to look kool by standing next to Harddisk ;) | 23:41 |
| Ryand-Smith | in usr/src | 23:41 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: I should raport bug in sylpheed-claws-gtk2 or dpkg ? | 23:41 |
| HardDisk | haha jeed | 23:41 |
| akonkwa | bobstro, thanx | 23:41 |
| Ryand-Smith | 2.6.24.18 is there | 23:41 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, sylpheed | 23:41 |
| legend2440 | HardDisk: he already pasted blkid results | 23:41 |
| ZiggyFish | oh | 23:41 |
| mad_max02 | Ryand-Smith, you can delete sources | 23:41 |
| djgizmo | HardDisk: Hmm, sorry to keep pestering you. I try to open any application (such as Mutt) or telnet, nothing happens. No error, no hour glass. Any suggestions? | 23:41 |
| Ryand-Smith | I can? | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeed Please keep it polite | 23:41 |
| Ryand-Smith | Ok, thank you | 23:41 |
| mad_max02 | Ryand-Smith, did you try deleting packages downloaded with aptitude ? | 23:42 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, unfortunately I haven't used flux myself.. | 23:42 |

| HardDisk | djgizmo, can you telnet via cli? | 23:42 |
| Ryand-Smith | that aptitude does not open | 23:42 |

| jeed | Jack_Sparrow, heh just because its linux doesnt mean everyone is gunna be nice to people who are annoying | 23:43 |
| legend2440 | _empemp_: do you see the problem? | 23:43 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, then just create another one for swap 2GB is enough | 23:43 |
| DIFH-iceroot | is ubuntu 8.04 using a firewall by default? because i can not connect to websites while i am using vpnc (device tun0) but i can use "nslookup ubuntu.org" but not ping ubuntu.org | 23:43 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: i see that now! | 23:43 |
| bobstro | akonkwa: the swfdec-mozilla package seems to be what causes that. i removed it and flash returned to normal (just starting up) | 23:43 |
| Ryand-Smith | yes, and then I get the error message | 23:43 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: everything else looks good in the file? | 23:43 |
| mad_max02 | Ryand-Smith, type sudo apt-get clean | 23:43 |
| unavailable | ok it seems i lost a connection | 23:43 |
| wols | djgizmo: go to vty2 and check ~/*xsession-errors* | 23:43 |
| unavailable | but im back | 23:43 |
| HardDisk | DIFH-iceroot, check your router. | 23:43 |
| nootrope | Ryand-Smith why are you typing your single idea in many lines? | 23:43 |
| djgizmo | HardDisk, is cli that installed by default? | 23:43 |
| DIFH-iceroot | so i dont know why i cant access the external sites | 23:43 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: but there is no 'Mount Point' for swap... just leave Mount Point blank? | 23:43 |
| legend2440 | _empemp_: yes | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeed Please stop it... | 23:43 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, CLI = command line interface | 23:43 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: thx, will reboot and see | 23:43 |
| HardDisk | in terminal | 23:43 |
| tdela | thanks for the info guys, appreciated. | 23:43 |
| tdela | :) | 23:43 |
| DIFH-iceroot | HardDisk: at the university i can not check my router, with windows and suse it is working | 23:43 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, create the partition as swap | 23:43 |
| djgizmo | (smacks self) I'll try | 23:44 |
| HardDisk | DIFH-iceroot, then check your settings | 23:44 |
| RULR | i have problems with mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. HELP!!! | 23:44 |
| DIFH-iceroot | so maybe ubuntu is blocking something by default? | 23:44 |
| akonkwa | bobstro, thanx | 23:44 |
| HardDisk | DIFH-iceroot, check iptables and vnc settings | 23:44 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: how do i do that? its ext3.. there is nowhere that says 'swap' | 23:44 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, no you cant do that | 23:44 |
| djgizmo | yep, telnet works from the cli | 23:44 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: i found it, sorry | 23:44 |
| DIFH-iceroot | HardDisk: which settings? just using vpnc (kvpnc) with the correkt settings as in suse | 23:44 |
| K^Holtz | it says 'swap area' where i created ext3 | 23:44 |
| === gardar is now known as gardar`afk | ||
| kyncani | DIFH-iceroot: ubuntu default to no firewall configured at all | 23:44 |
| DIFH-iceroot | kyncani: ok | 23:45 |
| Pie-rate | I tried apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree, and the flash plugin still works! | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:45 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, you need two partitions one for root and one for swap | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kyncani that statement is misleading | 23:45 |
| jeed | Jack_Sparrow, or you could stop making a big deal out of it, not like anyone's feelings got hurt now is it, i didnt make a 'your mum' joke or anything, just chill | 23:45 |
| Ryand-Smith | Ok, I did the sudo apt-get clean, then tried using sudo dpkg --configure -a, then I had an error with gzip stdout: No space left on device | 23:45 |
| DIFH-iceroot | hm so i will check iptables | 23:45 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: i have 5 different partions right now | 23:45 |
| Ryand-Smith | Then the bugger says update-initramfs failed for /boot/initrd.img | 23:46 |
| kyncani | Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu defaults to everything set to accept afaik. | 23:46 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, for ubuntu you need 2 one for root, one for swap any other partitions is extra for whatever it is you want it for | 23:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kyncani go to grc.com and run shields up test against your ports sometime | 23:46 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: gotcha :) im gonna move on with this install now, hopefully all goes well | 23:47 |
| sfire | K^Holtz: I recommend a partition for /home | 23:47 |
| Ryand-Smith | !passthehbomb | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Factoid passthehbomb not found | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz /home | 23:47 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, good luck :) | 23:47 |
| Ryand-Smith | er um, wrong room | 23:47 |
| sfire | K^Holtz: then you don't lose all your stuff when you re-install linux | 23:47 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: i have that, 20 gigs for /home logical | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | correct | 23:47 |
| bobstro | Ryand-Smith: no, but intriguing. | 23:47 |
| HardDisk | ah you're making /home in another partition, ok I didn't know that | 23:47 |
| sfire | I have 10 gigs for / ... 4 gigs for swap.. and rest for /home | 23:47 |
| HardDisk | then you need three partitions ;) | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk It makes for a much better setup later on | 23:48 |
| HardDisk | Jack_Sparrow, well depends on the usability, I rarely do that setup for users. | 23:48 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: No mount point is assigned for the ext3 file system in partion #1, if you dont go back and assign a mount point this partion will not be used at all" This is what i want correct? | 23:48 |
| djgizmo | Hardisk, is there another channel that is for helping newbies. seems that this channel is crammed and I hate pestering just one person. | 23:48 |
| K^Holtz | sfire: would would say 2 gigs is enough for swap? i only have 512 ram | 23:48 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, sure, you can check with your local state/country | 23:48 |
| === gardar`afk is now known as gardar | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz you can mount it as data anything you want it really does not matter | 23:48 |
| sfire | K^Holtz: then you only need 512 mb | 23:49 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, what area are you in? | 23:49 |
| tishensnoopy | HI EVERYONE | 23:49 |
| sfire | unless you plan to upgrade your ram later | 23:49 |
| djgizmo | Forida, USA | 23:49 |
| kyncani | Jack_Sparrow: i have shorewall set up, but do you mean that hardy defaults to drop policy on input ? | 23:49 |
| PCcertified | !MGETTY | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Factoid mgetty not found | 23:49 |
| HardDisk | check #ubuntu-us-fl | 23:49 |
| PCcertified | :) | 23:49 |
| djgizmo | thanks! | 23:49 |
| K^Holtz | sfire: ill leave it as 2 gigs incase i do upgrade | 23:49 |
| HardDisk | there is a local florida channel | 23:49 |
| DIL | djgizmo: dont be initimidated there are alot of smart people here you may be cheating yourself | 23:49 |
| HardDisk | djgizmo, you should get to introduce yourself to them and be part of their LoCo team | 23:49 |
| K^Holtz | crap, all my partions just got erased when i went back | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kyncani What I am saying is go to grc.com running live cd or fresh install and see what I am talking about. Most users that setup an iptable manager are worse off than leaving it alone | 23:50 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: it complained about the extra space i made before swap like you told me to | 23:50 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: I've last question: is this bug a security vulnerability? | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz I never said leave empty space... | 23:50 |
| PaulEU | because there is question in bug raport | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz Everything should be assigned to a partition | 23:51 |
| tripps | so any tricks/tips in making google earth usable when running compiz? | 23:51 |
| Ryand-Smith | Don't most high speed internet gateways have firewalls? | 23:51 |
| darrend | Jack_Sparrow: I have a machine running a Hardy livecd right now.. iptables default policy is ACCEPT on INPUT,OUTPUT,FORWARD | 23:51 |
| _empemp_ | HardDisk: that worked! but my new ext3fs partition is not writebale | 23:51 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: u said "create ext3 for general use leaving a 2 gig or so swap partition" ... what Mount point should i give that? | 23:51 |
| darrend | I also wouldn't trust Steve Gibson on security (grc.com( | 23:51 |
| HardDisk | I would have just given K^Holtz this guide apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm and then we can repartition his /home later. | 23:51 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, no | 23:51 |
| koshari | Ryand-Smith many doi | 23:51 |
| jarco | hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second). Ftp and samba give same results. Why is it slow from ubuntu and not from other computers ? anyone ? | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darrend run the shields up test and please dont bother shouting | 23:52 |
| accensi0n | anyone else have troubles with gmail chat through firefox in ubuntu 7.10? | 23:52 |
| blue|palm | is there any way to get nautilus to display icons of a certain extension as a certain icon? An example would be blender's .blend files - they currently appear as text files but i'd like to be able to get the looking like the blender icon by default. | 23:52 |
| koshari | K^Holtz mount point needs to be / | 23:52 |
| K^Holtz | koshari: thats my root, i have that setup | 23:52 |
| HardDisk | !upgrade | accensi0n | 23:52 |
| ubottu | accensi0n: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:52 |
| darrend | Jack_Sparrow: I didn't shout - that's the way iptsbles reports it. shields up tells me nothing about the security of my machine, that's bad advice in my opinion. | 23:52 |
| Smartpart | Okay so I am trying to run an ati driver installer that is a .run. Since ubuntu doesnt let you login root, how do i do this. When i run in terminal it says i need to be logged in as root. Basically what is the command to run the installer. sudo (what)? | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darrend entitled to your opinion | 23:53 |
| HardDisk | I have to take a break | 23:53 |
| HardDisk | my eyes hurt. | 23:53 |
| darrend | Jack_Sparrow: shieldsUp will be affected by lots of other things | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darrend feel free to discuss it in offtopic | 23:53 |
| HardDisk | I may or may not be back, salam | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | goodnight | 23:53 |
| accensi0n | cheers guys | 23:53 |
| HardDisk | see ya jacky | 23:54 |

| legend2440 | _empemp_: which one is not writeable? the one mounted at /media/Media? | 23:54 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: I did good it ? | 23:54 |
| nickrud | PaulEU, that will do :) | 23:54 |
| Smartpart | what is the command to run something? | 23:54 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: I ask because I never do bug raports | 23:55 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: correct the /dev/sda2 | 23:55 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: i tried this command no success: sudo chmod -R 755 /media/Media/ | 23:56 |
| legend2440 | _empemp_: got to /media folder and right click on Media folder. what are the permissions set to? | 23:56 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: root root | 23:56 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: can you reply for this raport? | 23:56 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: :) im saying forget about it, doing a typical install and if i want to dual boot windows later, i will do the windows first, then ubuntu and just clean install it | 23:57 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: just access to the files. can't seem to change then either | 23:57 |
| otasz | witam wszystkich | 23:57 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: for sure | 23:57 |
| friczek | otasz: po englishu | 23:57 |
| K^Holtz | oh crap, my install froze up | 23:57 |
| otasz | ok | 23:57 |
| otasz | :) | 23:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz I still suggest a sep /home, but I sense you want to get on with it so go for it | 23:57 |
| otasz | hello everybody | 23:57 |
| Smartpart | I need to run an installer, how do i RUN something? | 23:57 |
| legend2440 | _empemp_: in terminal type gksudo nautilus and browse to /media/Media and see if you can change permissions that way. | 23:58 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: i just don tknow how to fomat that extra space before swap, and i dont want to bug u | 23:58 |
| Smartpart | no like the command | 23:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz If you left sapce before swap just make another partition in that sapce | 23:58 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: i did, i made it sda7, thats a new partition right? | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz it can be ext3 or fat32.. | 23:59 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: but then when i proceeded with the install, it said that message ishowed u before | 23:59 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: thx, that worked like a charm! | 23:59 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: No mount point is assigned for the ext3 file system in partion #1, if you dont go back and assign a mount point this partion will not be used at all | 23:59 |
| DIL | Smartpart: ./ | 23:59 |
