| legend2440 | _empemp_: ok good | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz I dont know how you added free space before swap as that is not something I suggested | 00:00 |
| _empemp_ | legend2440: everything up and running and i've learned a lot, thx :) | 00:00 |
| ali_ | easycam2 | 00:00 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: but this message was for partion #7 | 00:00 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: this is what im going by: "create 20 gig ntfs as sda1, create extended over the rest, create 10 ext3 for / ie root as logical in extended create 20 gig as /home as logical in extended create ext3 for general use leaving a 2 gig or so swap partition" | 00:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz We can always assign a mount point later.. it isnt hard | 00:00 |
| PaulEU | nickrud: you are as: Nick Ellery? | 00:00 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: ok, well i will set it up as ext3 w/o a mount point, and fix any issues later | 00:00 |
| Shorty | b | 00:01 |
| bluecake | there are two NIC interfaces on my box, how to ping from eth1 instead of eth0 ? | 00:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz sda5 is first ext3, right | 00:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz sda6 is second ext3, right | 00:01 |
| K^Holtz | yea, sda5 is /, sda6 is /home | 00:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz sda7 is third general data with no assigned mount point on ext3, right | 00:02 |
| bobstro | bluecake: ping -I (per manpage) should work | 00:02 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: yea, thats what i had it as | 00:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz sda8 is a swap | 00:02 |
| K^Holtz | Jack_Sparrow: yes, 2 gigs | 00:02 |
| DIL | bluecake: both connected? | 00:02 |
| bluecake | yes, both connected | 00:03 |
| bluecake | interfaces belong to two different subnets | 00:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K^Holtz we dont care about the future ntfs as long as it is allocated and has some type of format same for sda7 | 00:03 |
| bobstro | bluecake: destination is outside your local subnets then? | 00:03 |
| whatever01 | how do i make ubuntu start in command line, not kde4? | 00:03 |
| bluecake | bobstro, yes | 00:03 |
| Darlok_Williams | Is it possible to let all users on my local system share an F-Spot database? | 00:04 |
| bluecake | trying to ping the same place from two diff subnets, bobstro | 00:04 |
| bobstro | bluecake: i think ping -I is what you want then. | 00:04 |
| bluecake | bobstro, yes, thx, man ping says so too, | 00:04 |
| Smartpart | Really quickly. what is the command to run something | 00:04 |

| Smartpart | is there not a way i can just run the program? | 00:08 |
| bluecake | DIL, but what bobstro suggested was good . ping -I | 00:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Smartpart what are you trying to run or install? | 00:08 |
| owh | Smartpart: No | 00:08 |
| bobstro | bluecake: not to state the obvious, but the destination need a return path for both subnets. | 00:08 |

| Smartpart | Jack_Sparrow an ati driver installer | 00:08 |
| * JoaoVr Baby, I back | 00:08 | |

| * JoaoVr Baby, I m back | 00:08 | |
| whatever01 | i installed the server edition but there were a load of problems. so i install the desktop edition because everything works out of the box, but i want it to be like the server edition | 00:08 |
| * JoaoVr grrr | 00:08 | |
| bluecake | bobstro, yes | 00:09 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: you should not, ubuntu provides an ati driver it its repository | 00:09 |
| whatever01 | how do i boot into ubuntu without graphical interface | 00:09 |
| bluecake | thank you | 00:09 |
| Darlok_Williams | whatever01: You can just remove GDM or KDM. | 00:09 |
| Smartpart | umm whats a repository lol | 00:09 |
| adrenaline | whatever01, edit your innitab file to boot to runlevel 3 instead of 5 | 00:09 |
| whatever01 | i still want to have teh option to boot into those graphical systems | 00:09 |
| whatever01 | butnot by default | 00:09 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: it means all packages are built specifically for ubuntu | 00:09 |
| bobstro | adrenaline: adduser does it, useradd doesn't (by default). or maybe the other way around. | 00:10 |
| adrenaline | thanks bobstro | 00:10 |
| Smartpart | kyncani: thanks for the help, but where do i get this | 00:10 |
| Darlok_Williams | Smartpart: It seems you're new to Linux. Things are handled quite a bit diferently from Windows in regards to installing software. | 00:10 |
| owh | Darlok_Williams: Thankfully :) | 00:10 |

| Choicefresh | hey i'm trying to use a guide to speed up ubuntu, and it says to use sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/''yourdrive'' | 00:11 |

| Choicefresh | what do i put in place of ''yourdrive''? | 00:11 |
| andatche | I've installed win32codecs from mediabuntu but mplayer still complains it can't find avisynth.dll? | 00:11 |
| yotzin | hey there | 00:11 |
| bobstro | bluecake: you want to ping the EXTERNAL interface from "the other one" then? | 00:12 |
| owh | Choicefresh: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Is there any particular reason you want to "tune" ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| Darlok_Williams | Choicefresh: Be VERY careful following any guides telling you to use "sudo." Unless you know what the command does, it's not recommended that you do it. | 00:12 |
| PCcertified | I'm surprised more people are not using a *nix box for home monitoring with videocam, answering machine and PVR. | 00:12 |
| === nith is now known as Nith | ||

| Techiedragon | running ubuntu 8.04 server - where would I go to change the display size on the screen; can I choose a smaller font so I get more on the screen? | 00:12 |
| Choicefresh | Darlok_Williams: i found recommendations for this particular guide on many websites | 00:12 |
| kyncani | andatche: according to apt-file, avisynth.dll is not part of any ubuntu hardy package | 00:12 |
| owh | Techiedragon: Ask that question in #ubuntu-server | 00:13 |
| Darlok_Williams | Choicefresh: Right... but do you know what the commands do? | 00:13 |
| Techiedragon | oh sorry | 00:13 |
| bibbybob | I realize PPA debs aren't supported but I am wondering why I am getting the following error when I try to install it "Template #1 in /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/templates does not contain a 'Template:' line" maybe someone knows how to fix this? | 00:13 |
| Smartpart | kyncani i pmed you | 00:13 |
| Choicefresh | i'm changing grub to the data=writeback system, which supposedly is faster | 00:13 |
| andatche | kyncani: hmm, I'm sure it used to be :( | 00:13 |
| owh | Hmm, what do I do about PM spam? | 00:13 |
| Darlok_Williams | Choicefresh: Even following highly recommended guides can screw up your particular system when using "sudo." If your system is running fine, I recommend leaving it alone. | 00:13 |

| Luigi | Hello! I have two questions: The first is, why won't my keyboard type faster than ~3 keypresses per second in LiveCD (i.e. right now)? I've got plenty of free resources, and this is the first time it's done this... | 00:14 |
| Choicefresh | Darlok_Williams: ubuntu should be faster than windows xp, but it is being laggy for me | 00:14 |
| Darlok_Williams | Luigi: Sounds like a memory issue. | 00:14 |
| Mabus | hi | 00:14 |
| Choicefresh | Luigi: you might be able to change your mouse prefs | 00:14 |
| Darlok_Williams | Choicefresh: "Tuning" Ubuntu rarely gives very noticable speed increases. Perhaps there's something else going on... it should be faster out-of-the-box unless you have some strange hardware that is choking the resources. | 00:15 |
| bluecake | does ubuntu have drivers for PCMICA ethernet card? windows 2008 server can't use this card, cause drver too old | 00:15 |
| Techiedragon | candive with server - thre is no gui ; it is all command line | 00:15 |
| Jatz | is there a tool that does general diagnoistics/see what's not working? | 00:15 |
| owh | bluecake: You need to research which card, what drivers are needed, then we can answer that. | 00:15 |
| Smartpart | Ok in Hardware Drivers it says ATI accellerated graphics driver in use, but i still boot in low graphics mode, why is this? | 00:15 |
| Choicefresh | well, in the comments it said it made it 300% faster. the only hardware i have really is a wireless card | 00:15 |
| Jatz | cause my new machine is much more wonky then my older crappier one | 00:15 |
| kyncani | bluecake: you could try the live cd ? | 00:16 |
| Choicefresh | anyways, what do i put in place of ''yourdrive''? | 00:16 |
| candive | sorry | 00:16 |
| owh | Choicefresh: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it wasn't implemented in Ubuntu, that was for a reason. | 00:16 |
| Darlok_Williams | Choicefresh: My point is simply that if you lack the knowledge to fill out the /dev/ part of the command, I would certainly recommend learning more about Linux before tinkering with such dangerous topics. | 00:16 |
| PCcertified | DIL I was hoping fo some suggestions of a setup that works. I've been playing around with those issues for 2 months now. I was thinking Vgetty with VOCP for voice answering machine, but can't seem to get vgetty set up to work. for video I was thinking motion for webcam security and for the PVR I haven't had an opportunity to look into it much, mythtv seems interesting. | 00:16 |
| Luigi | Darlok_Williams: I have ~350mb of RAM free. | 00:16 |
| bluecake | owh, it's belkin. i fd005200 or somthing, let me check | 00:16 |
| Choicefresh | Darlok_Williams: what do you mean? | 00:16 |
| TonsOfSparks | hey, guys, what's a good off-topic room thats not as dead as #off-topic ? i really feel like saying mind-numbingly stupid and pointless things but I don't want to do that here. | 00:16 |

| kyncani | TonsOfSparks: you could always talk to ubottu :)) | 00:17 |
| bluecake | kyncani, no | 00:17 |
| kyncani | no ? | 00:17 |
| Smartpart | Ok in Hardware Drivers it says ATI accellerated graphics driver in use, but i still boot in low graphics mode, why is this? and i dont see restricted graphics drivers | 00:18 |
| rdz | Jack_Sparrow, sorry to bug you with that again, but i realized, that the problem with the multimedia button is not the assignment, but they are not captured by X (or whatsoever). in dapper i could see them in xev, but in hardy they seem to be just ignored. can i revert the part, that is responsible for those buttons, back to dapper version? | 00:18 |

| Skyline969 | Hi Everyone. | 00:19 |
| PCcertified | unfortunately, only one of my 2 webcams is supported in *nix, and the driver is experimental ad I can't figure out how to install it. My modem works in minicom, but mgetty I think is required for vgetty to function and I can't seem to figure it out. And finally the PVR is not priority for me till I get the others working | 00:19 |
| Skyline969 | I have a little problem with Xubuntu here.... | 00:19 |
| Choicefresh | can you tell me what i replace it with? | 00:19 |
| Skyline969 | Ubuntu didn't work on my laptop, so now I downloaded the Live CD of Xubuntu from my friend's house. | 00:19 |
| Skyline969 | It's been at this black screen for a good 15 minutes. | 00:19 |
| bluecake | hey what's this buy bra thing , keep popping out on freenode.com / irc | 00:20 |
| Skyline969 | CPU light is constantly green, meaning it IS working, but should it take this long? | 00:20 |
| TonsOfSparks | kynkani: but he want answer with anything equally stupid and pointless and probably entertaining, thanks though | 00:20 |
| bluecake | operator can you please ban it? | 00:20 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: you have rebooted ? | 00:20 |
| TecnoBrat | Skyline969, #xubuntu | 00:20 |
| Skyline969 | Thank you. | 00:20 |
| Skyline969 | Same server? | 00:20 |
| Luigi | Speaking of external hard drives, why won't GParted let me do anything to the FS on mine? | 00:20 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: if so, type "glxinfo | head" and make sure the "direct rendering" thing says yes | 00:20 |
| rdz | Luigi, you cannot alter a partition that is in use, afaik | 00:21 |
| whatever01 | in which file do i change the default runlevel in ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| Smartpart | @ kyncani its been like that. I just disabled and reenabled to see if it would work | 00:21 |
| Smartpart | rebooting now | 00:21 |
| rdz | Luigi, if that is what you mean by 'yours' | 00:21 |
| jzla | im not sure if this is a glftpd problem, but i cannot connect at all to my ftp :/ | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Luigi Perhaps a windows format that was locked down by windows for an unclean removal.. is the most common issue | 00:21 |
| Jatz | so, anyone have a diagnosis for "general sluggishness" even at boot up (like, sluggish at bios) | 00:21 |
| Luigi | rdz: should I unmount it? | 00:22 |
| sweetgum | can anybody tell me how to load into Ubuntu from the kernel? | 00:22 |
| rdz | Luigi, definitely | 00:22 |
| Orfeous | got problems when trying to compile the pwc-driver.. i think there are some kind of kernel... missmatch on my system or something.. | 00:22 |
| Stigern | I want to logonto root, but it just says "root is not allowed to logon from this screen" | 00:22 |
| Orfeous | i have the latest linux-kernel-modules.. etc.. | 00:22 |
| Luigi | TYVM rdz! | 00:23 |
| kyncani | !sudo | Stigern | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Stigern: 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) | 00:23 |
| rdz | Luigi, you're welcome | 00:23 |
| Smartpart | Kyncani, it was on vesa, should it be on fglrx? | 00:23 |
| Stigern | so if I want to move some files? can I start a fileexplorer as root/sudo? | 00:23 |
| rdz | !fluxbox | rdz | 00:23 |
| Starnestommy | Gat0rvean: gksudo nautilus, but be careful | 00:24 |
| PCcertified | ok well to get webcam support now I'm gonna try with my TV tuner card. At least I KNOW it"s supported | 00:24 |
| Starnestommy | Gat0rvean: whoops, wrong nick, sorry | 00:24 |
| duallain | Stigern: The mv command will work. Like sudo mv file.txt /folder/file.txt | 00:24 |
| Starnestommy | Stigern: gksudo nautilus, but be careful | 00:24 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: if the ati restricted driver is enabled and after a reboot, it's still using a generic (vesa) driver, then you're out of luck because X does not properly recognize your card. | 00:24 |
| Stigern | ok, just need to move 3 files into the Open transport tycoon folder :P | 00:24 |
| Smartpart | crap, yes im using vesay on reboot and it booted in low graphics mode | 00:25 |
| whatever01 | in which file do i change the default runlevel in ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| rampageoberon | Stigern: for 3 files its easier doing it from terminal | 00:25 |
| rampageoberon | Stigern: plus better security wise i think | 00:25 |
| TonsOfSparks | if anybody's *just bored* please come to #off-topic | 00:26 |
| TonsOfSparks | PLEASE | 00:26 |
| Smartpart | and what does out of luck mean lol it wont work? | 00:26 |
| Luigi | External hard filesstm: ext2, ext3, ntfs? | 00:26 |
| Luigi | filesytem* | 00:26 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: yeah, there is this new xorg that's all great because it automagically recognize your hardware (graphic card, screen, ...) and use an optimum configuration, but when it does not, there is no easy way to just change the default behavior ... (and it sucks) | 00:26 |

| Choicefresh | sorry about leaving suddenly, i tried changing visual effects and firefox disintegrated | 00:27 |
| Smartpart | well thanks alot for the help kyncani | 00:27 |
| [tv] | i was wondering if anyone here had any experience trying to run netflix streaming video on ubuntu | 00:27 |
| [tv] | im wondering if they have some sort of contract with windows or something | 00:28 |
| Smartpart | can i access my library and edit it? | 00:28 |
| [tv] | making it exclusive | 00:28 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: I have a pc at work that would be better off running ubuntu but because it does not recognize the screen, I'm leaving debian etch for now. | 00:28 |
| [tv] | or if its just a support issue... | 00:28 |
| Smartpart | so in my xorg.conf can i force it into recognizing somehow? | 00:28 |
| Choicefresh | so anyways, are you going to tell me what ''yourdrive'' means? | 00:29 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: yep, but it's not so very simple as it used to be. There are solutions on the web. Ubuntuforums.org would be a good place to search | 00:29 |
| Smartpart | okay so i noobued it and tried to force it into using another driver, but after login i get a white screen | 00:30 |
| Smartpart | lmao | 00:30 |
| PCcertified | With the quality of some of the docs out there, once I get my stuff setup I'm going to start a wiki on how to o what I'm doing... the impossible. :-D | 00:30 |
| PCcertified | see you folks later... | 00:31 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: if you get a white screen, you can just remove the xorg.conf file (or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i think) | 00:31 |

| Aoshi_01 | I have a laptop with 256mb of ram, amd sempron 1.8ghz, I installed the new ubuntu 8.0.4 but gnome runs to slow, (I can't use xfce or xubuntu) should I use the other LTS 6.6 instead? | 00:35 |
| candive | Thank you for the knowledge, Goodnight. | 00:35 |
| SpookyET | Does anyone use irrsi instead of xchat? | 00:35 |

| DarkAudit | SpookyET: yar | 00:36 |

| Aoshi_01 | daemon3: is it ok to use ubuntu 6.6? ( I know that it have older software) but is it ok? or I need another distro? | 00:37 |
| Aoshi_01 | and I don't know why ubuntu 8.0.4 runs my HD like a sda device, it is a IDE device | 00:37 |
| Aoshi_01 | it could be slow for the speed of the HD if it is using the wrong driver | 00:38 |
| Rimdar_Klall | So... does noone know how to switch languages? | 00:38 |
| afallenhope | can I resize a partition that's being used by Windows into one of my linux partitions? | 00:38 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: there's been a change in the kernel and now ide, sata and scsi disk are all named sd*. The kernel is also always supposed to use dma when it's working. | 00:39 |
| Smartpart | what is the command to restart ubuntu? | 00:39 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: in console, ctrl+alt+suppr | 00:39 |
| afallenhope | Smartpart: what do you mean resstart it? | 00:39 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, you'd have to ask mark | 00:39 |
| doug_-_-_-_ | !clones | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Factoid clones not found | 00:39 |
| Smartpart | like i screwed my graphics | 00:40 |
| Smartpart | i rebuild my xorg | 00:40 |
| Smartpart | now | 00:40 |
| Smartpart | i need to restart | 00:40 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, then just restart your computer using Strg+Alt+Sysrq B | 00:40 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+alt+suppr | 00:40 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani please check the output of my hdparm -v /dev/sda http://rafb.net/p/zDIfh743.html | 00:40 |
| Smartpart | sysrq what is that lol | 00:40 |
| Smartpart | suppr what is that lol | 00:40 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: I don't se anything about DMA :S | 00:40 |
| wastedfluid | Hi. Ubuntu 8.04. When I set up remote desktop.. it all looks fine(Preferences->Remote Desktop) - but when i log in with what it tells me to from my widnows computer - vncviewer says "failed to connect to server" - it's all LOCAL, no firewalls.. any idea? | 00:40 |
| _eMaX_ | lol what is that lol | 00:40 |
| afallenhope | Smartpart: it's the WIn key | 00:40 |
| Aoshi_01 | it say failed kyncani | 00:40 |
| jjohnston | #ubuntu-devel | 00:41 |
| Smartpart | ok that no worky | 00:41 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: so Im running at low speed because I don't have dma in the hard disk? how can I fix this? | 00:41 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: no, hdparm is not supposed to tweak dma settings any more i think. The kernel is supposed to always use dma when it's working and you cannot change that any more. | 00:41 |
| Rimdar_Klall | Does anyone know how to change the language of Ubuntu? | 00:41 |
| _eMaX_ | sdparm | 00:41 |
| Smartpart | what is suppr? | 00:42 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: so Im going to run slow just because I can't turn on or off the dma of my hd? | 00:42 |
| Pici | Smartpart: super | 00:42 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: that said, I have seen a regression between 7.04 and 8.04 on some disks at work | 00:42 |
| CtrlZftw | wastedfluid do you go thur a router? | 00:42 |
| Pici | Smartpart: The key with the little windows flag on it | 00:42 |
| Smartpart | ya thats not working for restart, ctrl+alt+super | 00:43 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: what do you think about ussing ubuntu 6.6? it should run faster than 8.0.4 | 00:43 |
| Choicefresh | oh then it must be sda5 | 00:43 |
| daemon3 | I found a page reguarding bitpim. Does bitpim work for Razr's? | 00:43 |
| Choicefresh | let me try that | 00:43 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? | 00:43 |
| Rimdar_Klall | Can anyone even read me? | 00:43 |
| Choicefresh | tada!!! | 00:43 |
| _eMaX_ | Rimdar_Klall, I cann | 00:43 |
| Smartpart | not backspave either | 00:43 |
| nickwebcoukok | seriosuly. can someone PLEASE tell me how to stop totem running when i pop a DVD in? I use VLC exclusivley, and cant find a way to turn totem off.. :( | 00:43 |
| Smartpart | screw it ill just turn the beast off and on : | 00:43 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, take out the battery *:) | 00:43 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: I have not investigated the matter further whether you can or not turn dma on/off with these new kernels. | 00:44 |
| Rimdar_Klall | But does anyone know how to change the language of Ubuntu? I've looked everywhere! | 00:44 |
| Smartpart | gg comp | 00:44 |
| _eMaX_ | Rimdar_Klall, use the language switcher hotkey | 00:44 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: 6.06 is bound to run out of support security wise so you will have to upgrade at some point ... | 00:44 |
| meheren | where is the varibale $PATH stored? | 00:45 |
| === diego_ is now known as animaCCo | ||
| meheren | i want to add /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to my $PATH | 00:45 |
| Pici | meheren: Those directories should already be in your path.. | 00:45 |
| VSpike | Hi .. I have an old PC that I'm trying to boost performance of. I have a second HDD with similar performance to the existing one which I can add to the machine. It doesn't support RAID, but I'm hopign to get a boost by spreading stuff between the two disks.... | 00:45 |
| Rimdar_Klall | emax- what hotkey? | 00:45 |
| Smartpart | oh noes white screen again | 00:45 |
| meheren | Im on a mac... | 00:46 |
| _eMaX_ | meheren, /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile ~/.bashrc ~/.profile | 00:46 |
| _eMaX_ | etc | 00:46 |
| Smartpart | what i supposed to delete something lol | 00:46 |
| VSpike | What would be best to move onto the second disk? | 00:46 |
| meheren | ok thanks | 00:46 |
| Pici | meheren: Then you shouldnt be asking in #ubuntu | 00:46 |
| _eMaX_ | Rimdar_Klall, don#t remember exactly, one of Strg+Alt+Shift+Backspace or without Shift | 00:46 |
| animaCCo | hi, this isnt spam. i m from Argentina and i want test a chat website in PHP. if u wana help me , send me a Priv mensage. tnks!!! ;) | 00:46 |
| Pici | meheren: Try ##mac | 00:46 |
| Rimdar_Klall | strg? | 00:46 |
| meheren | im already there :p | 00:46 |
| _eMaX_ | sorry Ctrl | 00:46 |
| Pici | animaCCo: Its not very Ubuntu related... try #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:46 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: The life cycles of versions that are not LTS are shorter than the rest of the ubuntu 6.6 life | 00:46 |
| animaCCo | oka | 00:46 |
| meheren | there offaly slow on answering questions lol... | 00:46 |
| animaCCo | sorry | 00:46 |
| meheren | and i got a solution here, thanks | 00:47 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: ubuntu 6.6 already have 1 year more of support | 00:47 |
| Pici | meheren: Regardless, its offtopic for here. | 00:47 |
| rdz | hi all. some special keys on my laptop, that worked on dapper, do not work anymore in hardy. how can i fix that? | 00:47 |
| matt_ | I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi, where can I access my windows files from? | 00:47 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: yep, your best bet would be to solve your hardy problem and upgrade to hardy (or maybe switch to debian lenny) | 00:47 |
| * Rimdar_Klall does not want to push random buttons. | 00:48 | |
| Rimdar_Klall | Where can I find this hotkey? | 00:48 |
| meheren | Pici, not really the environment variable is stored in the same place on both systems | 00:48 |
| Smartpart | ok i blowed it up | 00:48 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, blew | 00:48 |
| Pici | meheren: Take a look at the topic. This is the Ubuntu Support Channel, not the MAC support channel. | 00:48 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: how can I solve my hard disk problem? | 00:49 |
| animaCCo | hi, this isnt spam. i m from Argentina and i want test a chat website in PHP. if u wana help me , send me a Priv mensage. tnks!!! ;) last call | 00:49 |
| meheren | so people aren't allowed to ask general unix questions? | 00:49 |
| Smartpart | emax i was jk | 00:49 |
| pankaj | hi | 00:49 |
| meheren | Pici, not trying to be rude or anything, just i think im right lol :p | 00:50 |
| matt_ | I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi, where can I access my windows (C drive) files from? | 00:50 |
| Smartpart | kyncani, was i suppose to delete smt or just run that sudo cmd? | 00:50 |
| soldats | meheren: not really this for ubuntu only, your question would have been better suited for #linux or ##mac | 00:50 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: why its better fix hardy or changing to lenny than the 6.6 release? | 00:50 |
| meheren | ok | 00:50 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: well, i don't know, each time i think the dma was not handled correcly (and it may have been something else), an older 7.04 release was working and was good enough for what i was doing, so i have not investigated the matter further | 00:50 |
| CtrlZftw | hey ppl, looking for some help with direct rendering ATI x1300 AGP and hardy | 00:51 |
| VSpike | I was think of mounting the new drive in /mnt/storage or similar and symlinking /var /etc /home and /tmp to it, plus moving swap there... does that sound reasonable? | 00:51 |
| meheren | alright, i can see that #linux would have been better... | 00:51 |
| Aoshi_01 | ok kyncani tnks | 00:51 |
| iceye | hello?can I send message on the sceen? | 00:51 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, whats the prob | 00:51 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: because 6.06 won't have security patches at some point so you will have to upgrade before that | 00:51 |
| Chikubu | i have a problem updating, when i try to update the kernels and kernel headers and lose my connection my dialup driver is removed, is there some way to download these manualy? last time i just had to reinstall, couldn't figure how to get the dialup modem drivers to recompile | 00:51 |
| daemon3 | Man, bitpim doesn't seem to have my Razr V3M phone listed. | 00:51 |
| _eMaX_ | Chikubu, they are modules perhaps? | 00:52 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: so the canonical support for LTS versions its not totaly true? it gives a false sense of secure ? | 00:52 |
| Smartpart | If nothing else ill just reinstall and reformant lol its brand new on there | 00:52 |
| CtrlZftw | eMaX : when i run glxinfo | grep rendering no matter what i have done so far it always says no | 00:52 |
| _eMaX_ | see. do you yet have compiz running? | 00:53 |
| CtrlZftw | yeah | 00:53 |
| animaCCo | hi, this isnt spam. i m from Argentina and i want test a chat website in PHP. if u wana help me , send me a Priv mensage. tnks!!! ;) | 00:53 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is supposed to rebuild a default xorg.conf otoh, if you delete xorg.conf, xorg should run with sensible defaults, so both options should have more or less the same result. | 00:53 |
| soldats | animaCCo: yes it is spam please stop or you can receive a ban | 00:53 |
| HybridZero | matt_: The windows files are in filesystem in "host" folder | 00:54 |
| SpookyET | Does anyone use Linux Mint? | 00:54 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, in a console that you run within compiz, say echo $DISPLAY | 00:54 |
| daemon3 | That's weird. moto4lin says my phone's connected, but then when I say "Update list," I get the error saying "Unable to get drive list" | 00:54 |
| Smartpart | well when i rebuild i still get blackscreen | 00:54 |
| matt_ | ty HybridZero | 00:54 |
| Smartpart | how do i delete xorg.conf? | 00:54 |
| animaCCo | soldats, ok | 00:54 |
| HybridZero | np :) | 00:54 |
| Aoshi_01 | Smartpart: rm xorg.conf | 00:54 |
| daemon3 | Then when I click the connect/disconnect button: | 00:54 |
| daemon3 | [error] Unable to get file count | 00:54 |
| daemon3 | [info] Sending control message failed.. Retry... | 00:54 |
| Smartpart | i cant seem to ctrl+alt+f1 anymore | 00:54 |
| CtrlZftw | :1.) is what was returned | 00:55 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, is it black? | 00:55 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: it's 5 years for some things and 3 years for others for an lts. | 00:55 |
| CtrlZftw | mt - :1.0 | 00:55 |
| Smartpart | emax its white | 00:55 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, try DISPLAY=:0.0 fglrxinfo | 00:55 |
| SerialCookie | Hi guys, today nm-applet stopped responding, and since then my wireless has not connected | 00:55 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, I read about the white screen effect somewhere | 00:55 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: for the desktop release there are 3 yearse and they are not done | 00:55 |
| Uplink | how can i mount my Windows XP partition? | 00:55 |
| Smartpart | i just freaking booting into a cmd line with ctrl+alt+f1 now it wont let me wtf | 00:55 |
| _eMaX_ | SerialCookie, how about sudo apt-get install wicd | 00:55 |
| TonsOfSparks | ubuntu does it automatically | 00:56 |
| baalsgate | is there a fix for cron ? | 00:56 |
| TonsOfSparks | @Uplink | 00:56 |
| Uplink | TonsOfSparks, no it doesnt... | 00:56 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, on a black screen I sometimes can recover by suspending and resuming | 00:56 |
| SerialCookie | will try it _eMaX_, thx | 00:56 |
| DigitalOktay | hello | 00:56 |
| baalsgate | I have had this problem with cron for months and still cant get a fix | 00:56 |
| TonsOfSparks | uplink, oh , never mind. | 00:56 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: so i supposed that means that even a server have some packages that are more desktop related and thus are only supported 3 years, which make the support only 3 years instead of 5. | 00:56 |
| TonsOfSparks | go to computer | 00:56 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: sudo aptitude install ntfs-config then run ntfs-config. Check both boxes. | 00:56 |
| kyncani | (i think) | 00:56 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, ty ty | 00:56 |
| DigitalOktay | Wow what a great match between swiss and turkey | 00:57 |
| _eMaX_ | except for people in switzerland, of course | 00:57 |
| TonsOfSparks | if it refuses, then you didnt shut down XP properly and you need to boot XP and do a chkdsk | 00:57 |
| Smartpart | emax i cant get into anything | 00:57 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: 2008-2006=2 yers, we have 1 year more for desktop support in 6.6 | 00:57 |
| Smartpart | at login screen if i login i get whitescreen | 00:57 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: and from 6.06 + 3 years, that means you have to switch to either hardy or lenny | 00:57 |
| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, what is your kernel version | 00:57 |
| Smartpart | it wont let me go to cmd line for some reason | 00:57 |
| Smartpart | 8.04 | 00:57 |
| Smartpart | the newest one | 00:57 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: or rely on a non-lts version | 00:57 |
| Smartpart | i think .04 | 00:57 |

| Smartpart | o | 00:58 |
| Smartpart | idk what it is then lol | 00:58 |
| _eMaX_ | Uplink, try the actual dev | 00:58 |

| _eMaX_ | Smartpart, uname -a | 00:58 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 00:58 |
| CtrlZftw | it was Mesa | 00:58 |
| daemon3 | Anyone know how to use moto4lin? | 00:58 |

| yesudeep2 | Uplink: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | pastebinit | 00:58 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, see? It took me like 2 days of poking around trying to get rid of Mesa when I noticed that I already had the driver correctly installed. | 00:58 |

| wastedfluid | Hi. Ubuntu 8.04. When I set up remote desktop.. it all looks fine(Preferences->Remote Desktop) - but when i log in with what it tells me to from my windows computer - vncviewer says "failed to connect to server" - it's all LOCAL, no firewalls, goes through router.. any idea? I have a drive mapped, I can ping the box... | 01:00 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, what does that supposed to mean | 01:00 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: so how can I fix my HD issue? :( | 01:00 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, ok here is an example. If I start googleearth on compiz (DISPLAY=:1.0), then it is slow like crap. If I do like DISPLAY=:0.0 googleearth, it is very fast, but of course without window decorators. So You have the choice... | 01:00 |
| kyncani | Smartpart: you're stuck at X login and cannot switch to command line with ctrl+alt+f1 ? that's new | 01:00 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Ubuntu uses a uuid to identify your ntfs partition. Did you reinstall Ubuntu or something just now? | 01:00 |
| yesudeep2 | Or upgrade? | 01:00 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, i had vista on it but i took it off and got XP | 01:01 |
| RULR | one easy question: sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive >>> what means "yourdrive" | 01:01 |
| Smartpart | lol yes | 01:01 |
| Smartpart | this sucks | 01:01 |
| CtrlZftw | eMaX - how do i change it all to DISPLAY 0.0 | 01:01 |
| Smartpart | i guess ill just reformat/reinstall | 01:01 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, you don't want to... | 01:01 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: well, I suppose you still have 6 months ~ 1 year to figure it out :) | 01:01 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, for example, try DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm | 01:01 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit | 01:01 |
| SeaPhor | wastedfluid, what type of router? | 01:01 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: thats not helpfull :S | 01:02 |
| CtrlZftw | i see | 01:02 |
| porkedpiehat | Uplink, add a line similar to: "/dev/sda2 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0" to /etc/fstab | 01:02 |
| wastedfluid | SeaPhor, Linksys WRT54G. i should note I tested FREENX, and the FREENX client worked.. I just don't want to use FREENX, plus it doesn't resume connections for me.\ | 01:02 |
| porkedpiehat | change the /dev/sda2 to the location of your windows partition | 01:02 |
| _eMaX_ | CtrlZftw, I have not yet found a solution to that. Try asking in #compiz | 01:02 |
| Uplink | http://pastebin.com/f41caead6 | 01:02 |

| Uplink | porkedpiehat, ??? :| | 01:02 |
| Aoshi_01 | kyncani: ok, is there a way to change the hard disk driver? or it is build in the kernel? | 01:03 |
| overlordpuppy | I'm trying to sync a windows mobile phone to my gutsy box. What applications do I need? | 01:03 |

| kyncani | Aoshi_01: i think so (not tried though) 1) i think you can configure your own kernel and tell him to use the old ide subsystem/drivers/whatever 2) use an older kernel, before the grand unified ide/sata/scsi thingie | 01:04 |

| kyncani | Aoshi_01: both options being impractical from my point of view, I have not looked the matter any further for now. | 01:05 |
| kyncani | Aoshi_01: np, good luck :) | 01:05 |
| wastedfluid | SeaPhor, I didn't DMZ the box. I was talking about software firewalls. I have not touched anything in the router, because uPNP is enabled, and I don't need to forward ports.. up to this point | 01:05 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Ok. Here's what you have to do. You need to edit this file /etc/fstab with elevated privileges to help Ubuntu recognize your Windows partition. | 01:05 |

| Uplink | yesudeep2, backup made too | 01:09 |
| hvgotcodes | BluntObject: confirmed ipw2200 | 01:09 |

| hvgotcodes | sweetgum: that question makes no sense | 01:09 |
| BluntObject | hvgotcodes: Try unloaded the driver and reloading it. | 01:09 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, kinda yes | 01:09 |
| hvgotcodes | you don't "boot into ubuntu from the kernel" | 01:10 |

| yesudeep2 | Uplink: line 13 in /etc/fstab | 01:10 |

| wastedfluid | hello again.. I setup Remote Desktop (Via preferences->remote desktop) - however, when I click on "LOCAL connections only" - it will not work - i can not connect to it.. i get "failed to connect to server" - HOWEVER, if I uncheck "Local connections only" - it works ! any ideas? Seaphor | 01:11 |
| sweetgum | hvgotcodes: i mean waht does it look like | 01:11 |
| musikgoat | sweetgum: the kernel isn't visible, its the underlying hardware communication layer | 01:11 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Yes. See the number A6388E59388E27FF in that line? You need to replace it with CE5846D05846B6CD. | 01:11 |
| hvgotcodes | sweetgum: the kernel is the operating system itself, it manages the memory, scheduling tasks, the drivers that run your hardware, etc | 01:11 |
| Farnaby | So I just upgraded to 8.04 (Yeah yeah I know behind the times) but does anybody know how to get the restricted driver icon out of the toolbar without turning off the driver? | 01:11 |
| sweetgum | sorry closed channel by accident | 01:11 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, ok done, now? :D | 01:12 |
| flaran | Farnaby: mine went away on its own | 01:12 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Close gedit and run ntfs-config | 01:12 |
| Farnaby | I wish mine would. Its the only visual thing I dislike | 01:12 |
| flaran | Farnaby: are you using all of the restricted drivers it offered? | 01:12 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, saved it and running ntfs-config | 01:12 |
| hvgotcodes | BluntObject: how do i reload the driver? | 01:12 |
| Farnaby | yep | 01:12 |
| sensae_ | The svn channel isn't being much help - I know this is the wrong place but it's a simple question. Would I be safe tar'ing my svn directory as a backup, or do I need to dump them? | 01:12 |
| sweetgum | hvgotcodes: is the kernel just the output of data until it loads terminal? | 01:12 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Tell me your partition now mounts. :P | 01:12 |
| SeaPhor | wastedfluid, check box on which machine? the "server" or the remote>? | 01:12 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, yay! <33 | 01:12 |

| hvgotcodes | sweetgum: look at the previous post i directed at you | 01:13 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: It did? | 01:13 |
| sweetgum | hvgotcodes: i left channel by ciddent can you post it again | 01:13 |
| wastedfluid | SeaPhor, On te server machine.. if I select "Local connections only" - and try to connect from Windows - it says "failed to.." - if I UNCHECK local connections only - it works! | 01:13 |
| joshual | anyone read this? http://osnews.com/story/19848/GNOME_in_the_Age_of_Decadence | 01:13 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, the problem i have is that i have to mount it manually everytime i boot into ubuntu... | 01:13 |
| macd | sweetgum, the kernel is what provides the enviornment that the shell interfaces with via gnu binutils, its merely an interface that allows you to speak human to the PC. | 01:13 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: This time it will mount automatically. | 01:13 |
| hvgotcodes | sweetgum: the kernel is the OS itself. Its linux. it controls your hardware and allows you to run programs | 01:13 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, ty ty :d | 01:13 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: All partitions mentioned in /etc/fstab are mounted automatically. | 01:13 |
| macd | joshual, no but I will have in a few minutes ;) | 01:14 |
| joshual | :) | 01:14 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, yea my external HDD gets mounted just by plugging it in | 01:14 |
| SeaPhor | wastedfluid, hrm,,,, so, it works, but only if you open yourself up to anyone,,, ,,, | 01:14 |
| sweetgum | macd: so it is the terminal in essence? | 01:14 |
| kyncani | sweetgum: the kernel is like some god because you don't see it and it's all powerful. Except that it's very real and handling all drivers for hard drivers, ethernet cards, ... | 01:14 |
| joshual | macd: let me know what you think | 01:14 |
| wastedfluid | SeaPhor, yes. If I open it up to anyone it works. Perhaps, when u uncheck that - it adds a uPNP for it? perhaps, if i forward LOCAL traffic? | 01:14 |
| hvgotcodes | i guess Blunt had to go away -- anyone how do I load the ipw2200 module? | 01:15 |
| sweetgum | kyncani: when i chose to boot directly into the kernel i am presented with a terminal.. is it that not the kernel? | 01:15 |
| musikgoat | sweetgum: no, the terminal is an interface to the operating system... it allows you to call commands to the OS which can be interpreted by the kernel... | 01:15 |
| kyncani | hvgotcodes: isn't ipw2200 in restricted modules ? | 01:15 |
| hvgotcodes | kyncani: I dont think so -- it worked out of the bo | 01:15 |
| hvgotcodes | x | 01:15 |
| sweetgum | musikgoat: do you know how i can load Ubuntu from the terminal | 01:15 |
| macd | sweetgum, Im not quite sure I follow you there, the kernel is the OS, and all the tools installed are what makes it able todo what you want it to, in order to put it in perspective with windows, the kernel would be windows minus any programs, and the GUI your used to. | 01:15 |

| SerialCookie | thanx _eMaX_ | 01:16 |
| hvgotcodes | sweetgum: you got irc working but you want to "load ubuntu from the kernel"? | 01:16 |
| kyncani | sweetgum: you don't boot into the kernel, that's not possible and that does not make any sense. You boot either into a graphical mode (with a graphical login screen) or in command line (with a text login screen) | 01:16 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, like its ever a joke in here with these questions ;) | 01:16 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: yeah -- some people think im joking when i ask how to get the ipw2200 module reloaded | 01:17 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, ty for your help :DD | 01:17 |
| kyncani | sweetgum: and you want to boot into graphical mode, which is the default if ubuntu is working on your machine. | 01:17 |

| hvgotcodes | macd: gutsy | 01:25 |
| elrancho | yeah probably | 01:26 |
| rampageoberon | elrancho: cool | 01:26 |
| elrancho | alright thanks for the info | 01:26 |
| rampageoberon | elrancho: you're welcome | 01:26 |
| mttr | help need with a ipaq rz1700 connection to ubuntu | 01:26 |
| hvgotcodes | so i boot, the module is there and loaded, but i cant connect to the wireless access point i have been connected to for months, and when i remove the module i can't reload it | 01:27 |
| hvgotcodes | im scared | 01:27 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, does "dmesg | grep ipw2200" return anything? if so please pastebin the output. | 01:27 |
| rampageoberon | elrancho: i'm on a dell myself and don't have a cd, i just use a torrented copy to do that | 01:27 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, i dont understand :( | 01:27 |
| rampageoberon | elrancho: it doesn't need a correct CD key to do that, and thats all i need | 01:27 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 i have a silly questions ... do i get the 64 bit or standard ? | 01:27 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, and did someone have you delete the module off the harddrive (rm ipw2200.something), or just use rmmod to unload the module? | 01:27 |
| hvgotcodes | !pastebin | 01:27 |

| AwaDoV | ubottu...can you help me ? | 01:28 |
| ubottu | AwaDoV: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:28 |
| SeaPhor | wastedfluid, then i would suggest, 1st look up the port ranges for the protocol, check the router logs for those ports being denied, forward them if necessary , and then look at every option for ubuntu, but at the point that its a ubuntu issue then i will pull in help | 01:28 |
| rampageoberon | elrancho: you could also try request an OS cd from your computer manufacturer | 01:28 |
| hvgotcodes | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19501/ | 01:28 |
| wastedfluid | SeaPhor, Let me look at the logs. | 01:28 |

| AwaDoV | sorry :D | 01:28 |
| mindheavy | i thought i might be able to hook a palm pilot to a usb hard drive with music and use the palm to browse music, and play thru my home stereo, from what i can tell, you cannot connect an external drive to a palm, would anyone have any idea's of something small i could use to browse and play music from this usb drive? | 01:28 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: someone had me do rmmod | 01:28 |
| mason420 | I have just installed ubuntu desktop on 2 machines on my LAN. In each machine are old WinXP hard drives with data I want to be able to access from either machine. what is the simplest way to accomplish that? | 01:29 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: he wanted me to unload and reload, reload failed | 01:29 |
| rampageoberon | mason420: yes you just need to mount the drives | 01:29 |
| rampageoberon | mason420: ubuntu 8.04 has ntfs-3g by default i think so it should read fine | 01:29 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: Which processor does your machine have? | 01:29 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: What do you not understand? | 01:29 |
| mason420 | rampageoberon: I am not sure of the syntax to even find the other machines on my LAN | 01:30 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: hehe, does rmmod unload it from the kernel or delete it from the disk? | 01:30 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, k, do this, 'sudo updatedb" then "locate ipw2200*" | 01:30 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, how to use it... im so lost and im trying "ls /etc/fstab/" but all i get in return is the same | 01:30 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, just unloads the module from the kernel. | 01:30 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E2180 (1MB, 2.00GHz, 800FSB) | 01:30 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: i got about 9 items from the locate | 01:30 |
| macd | pastebin them as well plz | 01:30 |
| hvgotcodes | ipw2200.ko | 01:30 |
| mason420 | rampageoberon: i CAN see the ntfs drive in the local machine, but I want to be able to see the ntfs drive in the remote machine | 01:30 |
| rampageoberon | mason420: first you mount the drives individually and then you can install samba and set up filesharing on there | 01:31 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Well /etc/fstab is a file. ls is used to list directory contents. | 01:31 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: core duo / core 2 duo? | 01:31 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19506/ | 01:31 |
| rampageoberon | mason420: so you want to set up some sort of filesharing probably samba to do that and share the ntfs drive | 01:31 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, how come it doesnt have extension? | 01:31 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, do this "sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko" | 01:31 |
| rampageoberon | mason420: alternatively you could also use an ftp server or ssh to access the files | 01:31 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Files in Ubuntu don't need to have an extension. | 01:31 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, :O | 01:32 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: its inserted | 01:32 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, menu.lst has one | 01:32 |
| hvgotcodes | ipw2200 149320 0 | 01:32 |
| hvgotcodes | ieee80211 35656 1 ipw2200 | 01:32 |
| mason420 | rampageoberon: i was thinking the same thing, but unfortunately that doesn;t get me any closer to actually getting it running | 01:32 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: the .lst doesn't mean much though | 01:32 |
| rampageoberon | !samba | mason420 | 01:32 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Extensions IMO are silly sometimes as they can never be used to really identify the contents of the file. For example, on Windows a virus can pretend to be a jpeg file by using the .jpg extension. When you open it, poof. BSOD. | 01:32 |
| ubottu | mason420: 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. | 01:32 |
| mason420 | I don;t see samba in the add/remove programs list | 01:33 |
| marshall | how do i check what my mySql username and password are again? i setup lamp on this comp for testing purposes | 01:33 |

| Uplink | yesudeep2, lmao | 01:33 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 i dunno it just says Inspiron 530,Intel Pentium Dual Core processor E2180 (2.00GHz,800FSB) | 01:33 |
| ish_nitti | Is there a way to route all traffic on port 80 out a specified network interface? (Server is connected to two networks) | 01:33 |
| mason420 | add/remove applications, i should say | 01:33 |
| mason420 | is there another name I should search for? | 01:33 |
| ish_nitti | mason420, bongload for you bro | 01:33 |
| rampageoberon | mason420: look in synaptic, and follow the guides you were linked | 01:33 |
| swansk_ | I can't find "acc codec" in synaptic | 01:33 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: it shows no wireless networks to connect to. i confirmed with my work computer that the access point is up | 01:33 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: i can manaully enter the connection info, but its connection strength is 0% | 01:34 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: A big problem with Windows is that it hides extensions by default. One of our machines once had this virus called "New Folder.exe" except the user didn't see the .exe. The icon it used was that of a folder. What do you think would have happened? | 01:34 |
| === damien is now known as P00hba | ||

| swansk_ | I need to copy this Audio CD into MP3 for work....I am extracting it as OGG right now because mp3 isn't working and neither is acc. | 01:34 |
| wepeel | hi all. I don't think my graphics card is performing as fast nor as smooth as it should. On my desktop, I installed a different nvidia driver, and that helped. This laptop has an integrated Intel chipset...any ideas? | 01:35 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Yeah. And it fills your disk with copies of "New Folder" in every directory. | 01:35 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Same reason why I don't accept Microsoft Word documents. | 01:35 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, a worm too? omg | 01:35 |
| swansk_ | does windows play ogg easily? | 01:35 |
| rampageoberon | swansk_: have a look at the medibuntu wiki, there are articles to ripping to mp3 there | 01:35 |
| yesudeep2 | swansk_: Get VLC. | 01:35 |
| ish_nitti | wepeel, i dont think i can help but why are you installing a nvidia drive for an onboard intel graphics card? | 01:35 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, oh wow... its kind of hard for me to understand why linux doesnt have viruses... i was reading as much as i could but i dont seem to understand | 01:35 |
| ish_nitti | wepeel, er, driver.. | 01:36 |
| whatever01 | what command do i use to change ubuntu's runlevel to 3 on the spot? | 01:36 |
| swansk_ | VLC sounds good synaptic? or Add-remove programs? | 01:36 |
| kitche | Uplink: don't mind that linux doesn't have viruses since it does | 01:36 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: what is not clear | 01:36 |
| ish_nitti | swansk_, both | 01:36 |

| Uplink | maybe i need to understand how linux works | 01:37 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: Can you show me the output of sudo lshw -C cpu | 01:37 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: yes | 01:37 |
| montpelie | does anybody have a clue about how to get the streamplug plugin for firefox set up | 01:37 |

| whatever01 | in other words how do i exit X and go to command line | 01:37 |
| ish_nitti | wepeel, under wine? | 01:37 |
| wepeel | ish_nitti, desktop effects have to be turned off to get any decent functionality | 01:37 |
| ish_nitti | wepeel, lol you sound like you're running vista | 01:37 |
| yesudeep2 | Oh wait. You don't have anything running. Never mind @ murgi_chor. | 01:37 |
| Uplink | Prefix, i understand that... but the root and user thing i dont understand | 01:37 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: Get the 64-bit version. | 01:38 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: use google and wikipedia | 01:38 |
| wepeel | ish_nitti, hehe, I have the pleasure of not having used windows since XP SP1 :) | 01:38 |

| whatever01 | in other words how do i exit X and go to command line | 01:38 |

| theLichKing | swansk_: i use it on linux/windows/mac | 01:38 |
| wepeel | ish_nitti, I don't really run too many games on this system, and no windows/direct X stuff | 01:38 |
| Uplink | rampageoberon, everyone has told me that... | 01:38 |
| ish_nitti | whatever01, i usually leave xORG running and hit Ctrl-Alt F1 | 01:38 |
| Prefix | Uplink: the root has its own separate partition to protect it further, its basically the top admin of the system, and if it is kept secure your system is safe from all threats | 01:39 |
| Xcell | whatever01--> ctl+alt+f1 | 01:39 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: we all do for a reason :) | 01:39 |
| ish_nitti | whatever01, hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to to Xorg | 01:39 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, that message is a bit beyond what I know about networkmanager | 01:39 |
| wepeel | lspci gives Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) | 01:39 |
| ish_nitti | wepeel, under wine or what? | 01:39 |
| theLichKing | swansk_: you won't believe how fast it can run on windows, because it doesn't have all the stupid gui | 01:39 |
| ish_nitti | Is there a way to route all traffic on port 80 out a specified network interface? (Server is connected to two networks) | 01:39 |
| Uplink | Prefix, exactly! how does it protect itself? | 01:39 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, but one sec, let me see if I can find something about it | 01:39 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: what about the root user and normal user is confusing? | 01:39 |
| murgi_chor | with my nickname yesudeep2 or urs? | 01:39 |
| whatever01 | ok but i want to close off Xorg | 01:39 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: thanx; im googling it now... | 01:39 |
| wepeel | ish_nitti, I don't run anything under wine. I'm talking about open source OpenGL stuff | 01:39 |
| Uplink | rampageoberon, what prefix is saying | 01:39 |

| wepeel | ish_nitti, not a problem at all | 01:40 |
| Uplink | rampageoberon, what if buffer overflow is used? | 01:40 |
| danbhfive | Uplink: in windows, everything is run as root, so if a virus infects only one part of windows, it has your whole system. In linux, because there are different user levels, its harder for a virus to take over. It has to hack the system, THEN hack into root, if it can... | 01:40 |
| swansk_ | theLichKing: do you have a link so I can download it in windows exe? | 01:40 |
| ish_nitti | is anyone else getting a TON of msg spam? | 01:40 |
| ish_nitti | god. | 01:40 |

| revilodraw | my laptop (dell inspiron 6400) running hardy (with an ati x1400 graphics card) returns from suspend fine, but it takes ages. any idea why? | 01:40 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: no idea what that is | 01:40 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 i pasted it there | 01:40 |
| Prefix | Uplink: Becuase only root can do certain damaging commands, and unless someone who cracks the root password get access then your system cannot be hurt. It alos has its own partition on the harddrive so that if the system is filled with files such as the new folder one above, root can repair the issue | 01:40 |
| ish_nitti | Broadcom, glad im not the only one ;) | 01:40 |

| macd | ish_nitti, yeah that could work | 01:45 |
| ish_nitti | macd, also. can i get a big-mac with a large fry? | 01:46 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: dist-upgrade? its reporting 0 new packages etc | 01:46 |

| revilodraw | xcell; ok thanks | 01:46 |
| Prefix | grindel: try padsp before the rioutil command | 01:46 |
| Xcell | ok.. be patient | 01:46 |
| macd | hvgotcodes, cool, then just reboot and see what happens with your wifi | 01:46 |
| macd | ish_nitti, heheh | 01:46 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Yes. Take two (turn on your speakers before you do this): 1. cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp (press ctrl-C to stop it) and 2. cat 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt > 4.txt | 01:46 |
| hvgotcodes | macd: but in on 7.10 | 01:46 |
| murgi_chor | im sorry yesudeep2 here it is : http://rafb.net/p/gcilyd88.html | 01:46 |

| grindel | ok thanks, I will figure out what that is | 01:46 |
| goose18 | hello i'm currently dual booting vista/mac osx 10.5.2 on a toshibia satellite laptop, if i use the wubi installer will it just allow a very simple triple boot and not disturb my existing config? | 01:46 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: The first one generates "noise" by sending random numbers to your sound card. | 01:46 |
| maxb | some rather unpleasant noise, I'd think :-) | 01:47 |
| zaklinux | I would like to add a file to the usr/share/backgrounds folder using without using the Terminal, is there a way? | 01:47 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: the second one concatenates three files and produces a fourth file containing the contents of all previous three files in the listed order. | 01:47 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: Ok. Checking. | 01:47 |
| maxb | Might want to make sure your volume is quite low before trying | 01:47 |

| JoshGr | Occasionally, my network manager icon in the toolbar (nm-applet) will suddenly and (apparently) randomly change to "networking disabled", shutting me off from the Internet. right clicking and choosing "enable networking" does nothing. The box is checked the next time you look, but networking is still disabled. So far nothing I can do will fix it short of rebooting, which is getting extremely annoying. Does anyone have any help? thank y | 01:52 |
| grindel | Prefix: how do I kill the pulseaudio process and set your devices to ALSA to see if it works...I am really new at this | 01:52 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 k thanx .. one more qusiton .. what u mean get the dvd ? where do i get that from? | 01:52 |
| grindel | it doesn't seem to recognise the thing | 01:52 |
| yesudeep2 | !dvd | 01:52 |
| rampageoberon | Swift_Fox1: is one the network lsit and one the channel? | 01:52 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 01:52 |
| Swift_Fox1 | rampageoberon:one for nickserv and one for freenod-connect. | 01:52 |
| grindel | I am at least getting rio util to work though | 01:52 |
| yesudeep2 | Oh, there's not factoid for the DVDs? | 01:52 |
| rampageoberon | Swift_Fox1: i use xchat for irc so not to sure | 01:52 |
| Swift_Fox1 | rapageoberon:think so | 01:52 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, another command u wanna give me but not screwing me up? lol | 01:52 |
| macd | yesudeep2, ubottu posted it | 01:53 |
| nickrud | JoshGr no cure, but usually sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager && killall nm-applet && nm-applet --sm-disable brings it back for me | 01:53 |
| rampageoberon | Swift_Fox1: thats normal, you always get one nickserv and one channel | 01:53 |

| yesudeep2 | macd: Yeah, I'm lagging. | 01:53 |

| murgi_chor | thnx | 01:54 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, i did but i dont understand | 01:54 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: use google or wikipedia and the man pages | 01:54 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: try it out and see what it does, thats the best way to learn | 01:54 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: A man page is a manual page. It contains information about using a program. `man` is the command used to display man pages for other commands. | 01:55 |
| m_newton | Help!! When i type gksudo nautilus, nothing happens...(ALT-F2) | 01:55 |
| magic_ninja | !camera | 01:55 |

| Nith | m_newton: try it in a terminal | 01:55 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: `man man` for example will show the man page for man itself | 01:55 |
| Uplink | lol | 01:55 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: then reinstall, and as long as you don't run as root i don't see why it should | 01:55 |
| SeaPhor | yesudeep2, sounds funny is man touch!, lol | 01:55 |
| ari_stress | morning all | 01:55 |
| nickrud | Uplink it's fixable nearly always. If you install with your home on a separate partition, you can install easily without losing your settings and data | 01:56 |
| yesudeep2 | heh SeaPhor | 01:56 |
| Uplink | rampageoberon :( | 01:56 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 does that install the dvd feature? why shud i get dvd ... cant i just get the cd... whats the difference? | 01:56 |
| grindel | Prefix: ahhh...I will be more clear I think, I will do what you say, but the rio Chiba is an mp3 player attached to the usb port,..and rioutil is suppose to recognise the player and allow me to load files onto it | 01:56 |
| Qnix | Good Morning ubuntu users | 01:56 |
| Prefix | Uplink: just do not ever run anything along the lines of rm -rf ( DO NOT EVEN TRY IT SERIOUSLY (Also, dont ban me for this..) ) | 01:56 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: You'll have plenty of packages in one DVD so it won't fetch them again from the Internet. acts like a temporary cache. | 01:56 |
| getBoa | Has any1 here installed the RTL8187 networking wireless driver ? | 01:56 |
| xTOGx | do i have to do anything special to run diablo II install cd? | 01:56 |
| Uplink | rm -rf removes stuff doesnt it? | 01:56 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: You can also feed the DVD's content to apt-cacher if you have multiple machines and therefore save a lot of cash spent on bandwidth | 01:56 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: unlike windows which doesn't allow you to do certain things linux actually listens and will do it (and thats a bad thing if you do do it) | 01:57 |
| Prefix | grindel, is the utility for windows, I doubt it has a linux version, try just browsing to the device through your file browser and drag and drop your songs | 01:57 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 i shud get this one then : [ ] hardy-dvd-amd64.iso 23-Apr-2008 00:32 3.6G Install/live DVD for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download) | 01:57 |
| rampageoberon | not if you intended to do it though | 01:57 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: Multiple machines will then download straight from the local network cache instead of the Internet (save bandwidth, money, and time) | 01:57 |
| swansk_ | BUG : I think I have a bug. Audio Extractor has a preferences menu that doesn't work. It only gives me four options while "edit" gives me like eight. | 01:57 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: Yes. | 01:57 |
| SeaPhor | Uplink, thats a bad thing when you dont know EXACTLY what you are doing | 01:57 |
| Prefix | grindel: You could also try some other programs to do it, such as rythmbox, or search the package manager | 01:57 |
| murgi_chor | yesudeep2 but thats not alternate ... is that alright? | 01:57 |
| Uplink | oh man... im scared of using linux now :( | 01:57 |
| yesudeep2 | murgi_chor: It has a text-mode install option | 01:58 |
| bicz | it works tnx all | 01:58 |
| murgi_chor | yes perfect thanx | 01:58 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: Don't be. Just read before you do something. :-) | 01:58 |
| danbhfive | Uplink: do you have a separate /home partition? | 01:58 |
| rampageoberon | well done bicz | 01:58 |
| swansk_ | BUG : even if I install more codecs Audio extractor won't ADD the new codec because it doesn't recognize the codecs I have now! | 01:58 |
| Uplink | danbhfive, yea... and a swap partition too | 01:58 |
| SeaPhor | Uplink, dont be, just listen to the advice given and if ever unsure ask for more info | 01:59 |
| bicz | yea only change the website to sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-lame | 01:59 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: it only requires a bit of common sense and not running anything silly (especially as root) | 01:59 |
| m_newton | Nith, tried to no avail | 01:59 |
| bicz | it report o 0.8 | 01:59 |
| Prefix | Uplink: Really? Im impressed if you have a seperate /home - I only learnt this lesson last week lol | 01:59 |
| danbhfive | Uplink: well, reinstalling shouldn't be too hard then. Just reinstall, and the /home will save your settings. You can do this even bork your base system | 01:59 |
| nickrud | Uplink but with all the warnings you've gotten, don't worry too much about breakage. It's usually the fastest way to learn | 01:59 |

| magic_ninja | billenium, just put your /home on a different partition | 02:00 |
| m_newton | When i type gksudo nautilus, nothing happens...(ALT-F2) | 02:00 |
| Prefix | Uplink: Most of your setting will be saved in /home | 02:00 |
| rampageoberon | Uplink: the best way to not mess up is not use it or not do anything new :P | 02:00 |
| xTOGx | do i have to do anything special to install and run games on ubuntu? i just put in a diablo ii cd to test it, and it didn't do anything | 02:00 |
| m_newton | i did in terminal also | 02:01 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: You won't mess up your OS just like that. There are many ways to fix stuff you've messed up. Just come in here and ask | 02:01 |
| Lzr | Is setting up a wireless Linksys ACX111 chipset very difficult for a new user? | 02:01 |

| rampageoberon | xTOGx: a lot of games are made for windows, very few for linux | 02:01 |
| yesudeep2 | Uplink: And DONT EVER run this command rm -rf /. It deletes everything that you have permissions for. | 02:01 |
| Uplink | yesudeep2, lmao | 02:01 |
| Prefix | xT0Gx: Dude, you need to find games with a linux installer, or see wine - http://winehq.com/ | 02:01 |
| rampageoberon | xTOGx: some windows applications will run under wine | 02:01 |

| fritzophrenic | I have the panel applet to switch with the mouse but it sometimes isn't available (e.g. when entering a password) | 02:05 |
| SuperQ | fritzophrenic: If you're up to it, goto www.launchpad.net/ubuntu and file a bug :) | 02:05 |

| yesudeep | stewy: What is realplayer11gold? | 03:01 |
| stewy | if not, how can i uninstall the program so i can try reinstalling it | 03:01 |
| m_newton | yesudeep, how do i report a bug | 03:01 |
| yesudeep | m_newton: launchpad.net | 03:01 |
| stewy | yesudeep realplayer gold is basically the only program (next to quicktime) that plays ogg files properly | 03:02 |
| hyperhacker | seems for some reason when I insert an audio CD or video DVD, they mount as /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/dvd1 instead of just cdrom and dvd, which confuses programs that look for them there... is it safe to symlink /dev/dvd to /dev/dvd1 and etc to fix that? | 03:02 |
| m_newton | yesudeep, ok i am there, how to submit | 03:02 |
| stewy | which is the only reason y i want it anyway cuz i have vlc for everything else | 03:02 |

| yesudeep | m_newton: Asking people for a poll on their choice of distribution, for example. | 03:06 |
| yesudeep | !poll | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:06 |

| spideyman | stewy isnt 3gp video for playback on a cellphone | 03:09 |
| rampageoberon | m_newton: wrong question | 03:09 |
| c4lman | nickrud: it never says that in "about" | 03:09 |
| stewy | yeh i recorded the video with a cellphone, i can get 3gp to play on a computer as long as it has realplayer installed | 03:09 |
| yesudeep | m_newton: Neither and both. | 03:09 |
| stewy | or quicktime... | 03:10 |
| grael | If i know what port something is transmitting on... is there a utility i can run to find out if it's actually transmitting? | 03:10 |
| nickrud | c4lman I know, take a look at /usr/share/doc/firefox-3.0/changelog.Debian.gz for the actual version | 03:10 |
| rampageoberon | grael: iptraf or netstat | 03:10 |
| spideyman | stewy ffmpeg might convert to avi or mpeg | 03:10 |

| rampageoberon | m_newton: you really want to be googling | 03:11 |
| Lynet | buckhunter918: Looks like this might be relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-share/+bug/214420 | 03:11 |
| macd | grael, you can check to make sure its bound to the port 'lsof | grep program' and use netcat to "query" the service | 03:11 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 214420 in nautilus-share "nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders" [Undecided,New] | 03:11 |
| m_newton | yesudeep, why would one go with a better kernal | 03:11 |
| nickrud | !ot | m_newton | 03:11 |
| ubottu | m_newton: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:11 |
| eek_ | anybody know the location of the folder to adjust the resolution for ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| ASULutzy | I'm bummed, the intel driver update today still didn't fix my not being able to use S-video problem :( | 03:11 |
| alan_m | !resolution | eek_ | 03:11 |
| ubottu | eek_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 03:11 |
| c4lman | nickrud: oh, well that's weird because everything else says it's just "3.0"...i was really shocked when I saw it in my updates lol | 03:11 |
| khajavi | eek_: you can reconfigure your xserver.xorg | 03:12 |
| rampageoberon | c4lman: firefox itself will say 3 as its release candidate afterall | 03:12 |
| stewy | i tried ffmpeg already, and it not working | 03:12 |
| grael | macd, i'm actually talking about a tablet which (i believe,) is serial, as well as a touchscreen which (once again...i believe) is serial as well | 03:12 |
| rampageoberon | c4lman: to see the actual version do sudo aptitude show firefox-3.0 | 03:12 |
| buckhunter918 | Lynet: Thanks, I will take a look at that and see if it helps me. | 03:12 |
| khajavi | eek_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver | 03:12 |
| m_newton | yesudeep, will having a swap make a live cd faster, do i need a swap if i have 1 gb memeroy? | 03:13 |
| alan_m | khjavi, i believe you have it backwards, isnt it xserver-xorg? | 03:13 |
| spideyman | stewy its one of the few formats i havent played | 03:13 |
| nickrud | eek_ one more: system->prefs->screen resolution | 03:13 |
| yesudeep | m_newton: I'm not sure whether the LiveCD uses the swap partitions. | 03:13 |
| eross | is there a programming in gcc/g++ on ubuntu or linux channel? | 03:13 |
| sardion | anyone ever install unbuntu on a laptop? | 03:13 |
| yesudeep | m_newton: Yes, you do. | 03:13 |
| rampageoberon | m_newton: if you're running a gui then you want swap | 03:13 |
| stewy | spideyman i can understand. I only recently started using it... well since i got a phone that can record video actually | 03:13 |
| stewy | sardion I have | 03:13 |
| stewy | sardion installed it on my hp dv6700t | 03:14 |
| sardion | straight forward install ? | 03:14 |
| rampageoberon | m_newton: if you choose to run say debian etch server or ubuntu server then 1gb ram is more than enough without swap | 03:14 |
| nickrud | stewy if that's laptop you'll want your ram size + at least 100mb in swap to support hibernation | 03:14 |
| stewy | yup as straight forward as possible | 03:14 |
| eek_ | khajavi nickrud thank you | 03:14 |

| rampageoberon | hmm | 03:19 |
| Jalathan | yesudeep, yeah, i know. does it have a gui though?... | 03:19 |
| rampageoberon | hold on | 03:19 |
| rampageoberon | is the i to install? | 03:20 |
| stewy | does p7zip deal with the rar part files? | 03:20 |
| === mike is now known as Guest7054 | ||
| yesudeep | Jalathan: archive manager handles it. install p7zip-full | 03:20 |
| nickrud | rampageoberon no, it means 'limit displayed packages to the ones in section gnome and are not installed' | 03:20 |
| Jalathan | yesudeep, ah, kk, ty | 03:20 |

| taufiq_ilm | I want to install mysql from the source code as given in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installing-source-tree.html on Ubuntu 6.06 | 03:22 |
| taufiq_ilm | Anybody have experience with this | 03:23 |
| yesudeep | taufiq_ilm: Any particular reasons why you wish to do that? | 03:23 |
| yesudeep | taufiq_ilm: It's complicated and painful. Don't do it unless the packaged version doesn't do soemthing you want it to | 03:23 |
| nickrud | revilodra1 or, you can create a script in /usr/local/bin with #!/bin/bash <newline> exaile --no-equalizer , name it exaile, make it executable, and then you will have that behavior if you call it from the launcher or the command line | 03:23 |
| c4lman | hey what's with autogen.sh - what is it? | 03:23 |
| marcot | Hello, I've downloaded the synaptic source package with apt-get source, and i'm looking at the pt_BR.po file, and the strings are different from the strings shown in my installed package. | 03:24 |
| revilodra1 | nickrud - thanks!! | 03:24 |
| Starnestommy | c4lman: autogen.sh normally automatically generates the ./configure script | 03:24 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Jalathan, great working on it | 03:24 |
| yesudeep | c4lman: It's a script used by developers to detect and run the gnu autotools in a particular sequence. | 03:24 |
| yesudeep | c4lman: And yes it generates the configure script. | 03:24 |
| virtuald | yesudeep: it shows reslults like 0ms or 1000ms | 03:24 |
| marcot | I get a welcome message with some mistakes, including </b without >, and I the po file the sentence is writen with other words, and it's not with these erros. | 03:24 |
| yesudeep | weird. | 03:24 |
| yesudeep | virtuald: That's the line you want to edit. ask in #perl? | 03:25 |
| c4lman | yesudeep: so if I ignore it and do the traditional configure > make > make install it's different? | 03:25 |
| virtuald | ok | 03:25 |
| virtuald | thanks for trying | 03:25 |
| yesudeep | c4lman: You run that only if you're a developer. | 03:25 |
| yesudeep | virtuald: x may also handle it. My perl is very rusty | 03:25 |
| nickrud | c4lman basically it creates the configure script so you can run it | 03:25 |
| yesudeep | left is years ago | 03:25 |

| tanath | anyone use gnome-do 0.5? i just upgraded it, and now it doesn't work. shortcut does nothing | 03:26 |
| stewy | brb | 03:26 |
| c4lman | nickrud: ok thanks | 03:26 |
| Starnestommy | c4lman: autogen.sh doesn't need to be run if the ./configure and Makefile.in files are there | 03:26 |
| c4lman | yesudeep: wait, you run what if your'e a developer | 03:26 |
| yesudeep | c4lman: autogen.sh | 03:26 |
| yesudeep | c4lman: Or if the configure script doesn't exist | 03:26 |
| c4lman | Starnestommy: I see thanks | 03:27 |
| c4lman | yesudeep: thanks too | 03:27 |
| tanath | nvm, got it | 03:27 |
| nickrud | c4lman once you get into this stuff more and want to run the really bleeding edge stuff from the version control repos the devs use, you'll need to use it | 03:27 |

| grael | rampageoberon, beautiful. thank you! | 04:17 |
| lopin | PleaseHelpMe: Your install disk might also function as a live disk, if you had a window open when you ran the install | 04:17 |
| onats | is there a way to start an application from terminal, and have that application stay in the gdm background? | 04:17 |
| rampageoberon | np | 04:17 |
| Wolvenhaven | ok guys, can someone please tell me how to bind a script called rotation.sh to a key? | 04:18 |
| IdleOne | PleaseHelpMe, you can also hit alt-F2 and type gnome-terminal in the box that comes up to start terminal | 04:18 |
| zloog | Zoem: Oh, do you know the name of the driver's kernel module? | 04:18 |
| lopin | bobstro: Yes, it would, but unfortunately, PleaseHelpMe didn't know how to open a terminal, or find a live disk... So, in effect, that link is like giving them a book in a foreign language in order to learn it... | 04:18 |
| Zoem | zloog, umm... no, but it shouldn't be too hard to find... modprobe -l for list, right? | 04:18 |
| bobstro | lopin: the cd he installed from IS a live, no? | 04:18 |
| PleaseHelpMe | ok i got the disk in with the menu open | 04:18 |
| lopin | bobstro: Yes, but did he know that? Did anyone try to tell him that? | 04:19 |
| bobstro | lopin: i thought we were. | 04:19 |
| lopin | Go to run or install ubuntu | 04:19 |
| PleaseHelpMe | there is stuff like install, and check for defect or w/e, also on the bottom f1 thru f6 | 04:19 |
| [d0wn] | I need some help installing my /boot folder on a different partition. Could anyone help me? | 04:19 |

| PleaseHelpMe | oh pick the first one/ | 04:20 |
| PleaseHelpMe | ?* | 04:20 |
| hvgotcodes | i have to do it manually right? | 04:20 |
| Zoem | zloog I am going to guess that the driver is nvidia_new.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.24-18generic/volatile/ | 04:20 |
| PleaseHelpMe | the first one is try ubuntu without any changes to computer | 04:20 |
| zloog | Zoem: yup, you just need to put the module name into the /etc/modules file. Also you might want to blacklist the old modules by putting the old module name into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 04:20 |
| lopin | PleaseHelpMe: Yep | 04:20 |
| PleaseHelpMe | ok | 04:21 |
| IdleOne | PleaseHelpMe, yes then when it is loaded up you will see an icon to install | 04:21 |
| zloog | Zoem: I'm by no means an expert but I bet that will fix your problem | 04:21 |
| x_ | if anyone programs with python, what is the html doc that comes bundled with Ubuntu and how do I access it | 04:21 |
| IdleOne | if that is what you want to do | 04:21 |
| x_ | thanks ahead of time | 04:21 |
| lopin | PleaseHelpMe: You don't need to install... Just fix grub... | 04:21 |
| Zoem | zloog I'll give it a try, worst case, I undo it and keep on as I have been | 04:21 |
| lopin | PleaseHelpMe: Installing will just overwrite all of your data... | 04:21 |
| zloog | ya, have a live cd handy, just in case | 04:22 |
| IdleOne | lopin, oh sorry I didnt see the beginning of the convo | 04:22 |

| rathel | murgi_chor, Boot your LiveCD than open a terminal and do "mkdir ubuntu" and then "mount /dev/(your device where ubuntu is installed) ubuntu" than "gksu 'gedit ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.list'" and scroll down to your first kernel entry and add "all_generic_ide" at the end of the line. | 04:34 |
| Zoem | zloog, oh, no, I haven't actually tried it yet :) But since I've switched irc to a different comp, I might as well. rebooting :) | 04:34 |
| PleaseHelpMe | umm | 04:35 |

| PleaseHelpMe | and what is a live cd? | 04:39 |
| zloog | PleaseHelpMe: Not really. Go back in and verify that you saved the changes to your boot order. | 04:39 |
| ramiel77 | bobstro, relatively...i'm not super good but i'd say i'm a solid competent user and can figure out most things. I've installed ubuntu on a bunch of my dell laptops, the reason i ask is cause i want to put 8.04 on clean install and dell only offers 7.10 | 04:39 |
| xTOGx | thanks Jalathan | 04:39 |
| Jalathan | np | 04:39 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: i took the approach that by installing it myself, i'd be able to fix it later if needed. | 04:39 |
| PleaseHelpMe | i did save them, i might of put them in the wrong places? it should have two cd ones right/ | 04:40 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: well FWIW i got 8.04 going just fine on a D420. | 04:40 |
| Zoem | zloog, hmm, no luck. | 04:40 |
| ramiel77 | bobstro, i'm taking the same approach, i'm just wondering if dell marks up hardware costs for linux computers | 04:40 |
| linuxpwns | ramiel77: you could always buy the 7.10 one then upgrade | 04:40 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: 8.04 is VERY pleasant on dell laptops. | 04:40 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: i'd just check the prices myself. you're buying a new laptop? | 04:40 |
| murgi_chor | IdleOne but its runnin from live cd now, if i remove cd and restart it shud work now? | 04:40 |
| xTOGx | login is always all lowercse? | 04:40 |
| zloog | Zoem: Sorry thats the only way I know of to force a module to load at boot. And the onlything ive ever used it for is a bluetooth keyboard. | 04:40 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: i'd certainly balk at paying MORE for linux on it! :) | 04:40 |
| linuxpwns | i heard horrible things about dell's linux customer support though. try system76.com for laptops preinstalled with ubuntu | 04:40 |
| DIL | xTOGx: username is | 04:41 |
| geehumshriber | bobstro: no, it is not exclusive to just the installer, it happens on the live cd too on 8.04 | 04:41 |

| binarymutant | how can I change alsamixers colors? | 04:41 |
| ramiel77 | bobstro, yeah i'm buying a new laptop and i fear there is some price inflation which is crap since linux is supposed to be free, and yeah IRC #ubuntu is the best support in the world, hands down | 04:41 |
| bobstro | geehumshriber: ah, then my experience probably won't help much. sorry. | 04:41 |
| linuxpwns | bobstro: lol yeah but i was thinking more dell-specific help like drivers and stuff | 04:41 |
| Zoem | zloog, I think it has something to do with the module being in /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/volatile. So, I guess I'll just wait for NV to put out a real driver ;( | 04:42 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: other factors like can you get laptop at student discount with windows, then nuke it etc. | 04:42 |
| geehumshriber | anyone else help? crazy graphics problems on the installer? | 04:42 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: which dell are you looking at? | 04:42 |
| PleaseHelpMe | well any more ideas? | 04:42 |
| bobstro | geehumshriber: is there a 'safe' mode option? | 04:42 |
| DIL | Acer is supposedly dumping windows and will be using linux | 04:42 |
| zloog | Zoem: Sorry, that was literally my one piece of advice to give you. I'm pretty module dumb :( | 04:42 |
| geehumshriber | DIL: links? | 04:42 |
| linuxpwns | digg.com | 04:43 |
| Zoem | zloog, its ok, I wouldn't have asked if I weren't even more so :) | 04:43 |
| Jalathan | DIL, if so, i hope that they update the kernel module for the acer ACPI | 04:43 |
| ramiel77 | bobstro, i was orignially looking at the Dell 1525 but it seems to have less hardware power and options comparatively to the 1420 so i'm thinking about a 1420 | 04:43 |
| marcot | Should translations from language-pack be different from the available in the package? | 04:43 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: google around. there are good dell linux support pages. | 04:43 |
| Zoem | zloog, oh, look at that. NV has released drivers for my card :D | 04:43 |
| marcot | For synaptic in pt_BR, the language-pack version is much more buggy. | 04:43 |

| candive | PleaseHelpMe, did you successfully change boot to CD first then HDD | 04:44 |
| Starnestommy | Brian88: system > administration > system monitor | 04:44 |

| DIL | geehumshriber: http://www.linux.org/news/2008/06/06/0005.html | 04:45 |
| bobstro | ramiel77: only advice i'd give is go a bit slow with video, don't force anything until you're sure of which drivers you really need. my buddy at work spent days trying to get nvidia drivers working, only to realize he's got an ATI. :) | 04:45 |
| PleaseHelpMe | there is another cd, there is network group | 04:45 |

| binarymutant | is there a way to change alsamixer's color scheme, I'm not googling any results :( | 04:46 |
| PleaseHelpMe | candive, but what about the other cd and network group? | 04:46 |
| adamorjames | nvidia isn't that great on linux me thinks I prefer Intel | 04:46 |
| Jalathan | adamorjames, it'd be best to ask over in #damnsmalllinux | 04:46 |
| adamorjames | ok Jalathan | 04:46 |

| bobstro | ramiel77: yeah, i'd balk at that for sure! | 04:48 |

| Cyndre | bobstro: but how would it cost more? | 04:49 |
| TiZ_ | Is there an area in my xorg.conf I should check? Supposedly, it's supposed to work with fglrx. | 04:49 |

| bobstro | Cyndre: not all schools offer that, but CHEAP hardware with windows. | 04:50 |
| PleaseHelpMe | i dont have a floppy | 04:50 |
| Zoem | Cyndre, he could also be buying from a smaller supplier that has less leverage when negotiating licenses with MS | 04:50 |
| PleaseHelpMe | candive, i got - cd cd hdd network group | 04:51 |
| bobstro | Cyndre: wups - misread. yeah, that's what i recommended. buy cheapest hardware option. | 04:51 |

| TiZ_ | Jalathan: Okay... | 04:51 |
| PleaseHelpMe | and disable the other cd? | 04:51 |

| TOG_away | how do i find and install video drivers? | 05:22 |
| Rabbitbunny | murgi_chor: repeat less often, If someone knows the answer they will help. It also helps to ask a question. | 05:22 |
| Jalathan | TOG_away, do you mean the codecs? | 05:23 |
| Jalathan | TOG_away, if its the driver then it's in the restricted driver manager | 05:23 |
| TOG_away | i mean... how do i get my video to go from 640x480 to like 1200xwhatever | 05:23 |
| Reilwin | TOG_away, so you mean your screen resolution? | 05:23 |
| chetnick | is there any way to backup my files to ftp ? i guess i would need to mount FTP, is that even posible? | 05:24 |
| TOG_away | yes, Reilwin. i guess i just assumed i would need video drivers for that | 05:24 |
| Jalathan | TOG_away, ah, kk. does the restricted driver manager show a green light for your video card? if not, check the box and restart | 05:24 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: it sounds like it's dropping you in to some kind of emergency shell. I've not seen that with Ubuntu before, but most initrd's have something REALLY tiny like ash to run the basic boot scripts with. Chances are good you mis-configured the partitions somehow, or your system isn't seeing the right one. | 05:24 |
| Reilwin | TOG_away, I think your screen resolution is handled by Xorg | 05:25 |
| Rabbitbunny | chetnick: look into sshfs if you own both boxes. | 05:25 |
| nickrud | chetnick yes, places->connect to server. There's also curlftpfs, it mounts also | 05:25 |
| Reilwin | TOG_away, in the configuration file, it takes the first resolution present as the default | 05:25 |
| chetnick | :) ok , will take a look | 05:25 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: Which is weird, because that means grub/lilo are able to locate and load the kernel/boot disk, but it's unable to actually find it at boot time (most likely at any rate... I've not seen the error, but that's the only time I've seen that kind of situation my self.) | 05:25 |
| PleaseHelpMe | DIL | 05:26 |
| DIL | PleaseHelpMe: | 05:26 |
| PleaseHelpMe | do u know? | 05:26 |
| Reilwin | TOG_away, so you'll need to go to the Xorg configuration file and place the resolution you want before the rest (although I deleted all the ones I didn't want) | 05:26 |

| zloog | c4lman: gconf-editor | 05:27 |

| Toba | Cristi: ...are you the cristi I know? | 05:28 |
| Jalathan | Reilwin, i believe that in 8.04 the configuration is handled almost entirely via bulletproof x's use of the video card's detection of the screen's resolution by default | 05:28 |

| Starnestommy | falconfox: install build-essential | 05:32 |
| Zoem | SixStringer, 1280x1024 | 05:32 |
| Zoem | nickrud, nvidia 9600gt | 05:32 |
| falconfox | Starnestommy: whats that | 05:32 |
| Optimus55 | rampageoberon: basically it destroys some laptop hds in laptop mode by trying to conserve power by aggressively spinning up and down the disk | 05:33 |

| arlenn | #exaile | 05:33 |

| Starnestommy | falconfox: install it with sudo apt-get install build-essential | 05:33 |
| Cristi | SixStringer: this is how the xorg.conf looks like. where should i add what? | 05:33 |
| Zoem | nickrud, I know, I am on nvidia proprietary drivers, which have worked fine until today | 05:33 |

| SixStringer | you can remove the @xx, that's for the refresh rates.. | 05:34 |
| geehumshriber | can someone tell me how to get gmake to work? | 05:34 |
| nickrud | Zoem do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 05:34 |

| Starnestommy | geehumshriber: how is it not working? | 05:34 |
| falconfox | Starnestommy: thanks, it worked, but now i have another error "configure: error "cannot find glib"" | 05:34 |
| Cristi | SixStringer: uhm so i add the line u gave me at the screen section? | 05:35 |
| Starnestommy | falconfox: what are you compiling? | 05:35 |
| geehumshriber | Starnestommy: command is not found | 05:35 |
| Zoem | nickrud, yes | 05:35 |
| falconfox | xchat | 05:35 |
| Ketsueki | falconfox: it probably wants an older version of it that it was compiled against. You might need whatever that gcc 3.x version glib was, or an older glib. | 05:35 |
| Starnestommy | falconfox: sudo apt-get install xchat | 05:35 |

| pub | anybody use a weatherforecaster or a weather type widget | 05:42 |
| Ketsueki | Zoem: You probably have the wrong driver, or have tried to be too specific. Unless you have a piece of hardware older then 5 years in that computer, try just specifying the minimal settings. Like Just specify the video-card driver, comment out all that hsync and etc stuff. | 05:42 |

| nano | rampageoberon, i suppose thats a common firefox plugin, | 05:48 |
| prettyricky | I have been trying to install one, but does not show up when I hit insatlll | 05:48 |
| prettyricky | install* | 05:48 |
| rampageoberon | nano: remember its not 100%, really depends on how the website identifies useragent | 05:48 |
| nickrud | Zoem for that, you can try adding the word nvidia to /etc/modules, on it's own line | 05:48 |
| Rabbitbunny | prettyricky: Consider using google to find a tutorial. | 05:48 |
| prettyricky | thanks | 05:48 |
| nano | rampageoberon, this might sound silly, but it seems i can't signup for a hotmail account off my ubuntu? | 05:49 |
| rampageoberon | nano: sudo aptitude install useragentswitcher | 05:49 |
| Ketsueki | Zoem: Actually, if you're just doing normal, easy stuff, the Nvidia-drivers work OK with their reconfig tool. It might have gotten confused with an odd xorg.conf file to start with though | 05:49 |
| rampageoberon | nano: why is that? | 05:49 |
| Zoem | nickrud, I have tried that, it didn't work | 05:49 |
| rampageoberon | nano: what error? | 05:49 |
| nano | rampageoberon, the site(hotmail) keeps telling me that the service is currently down | 05:49 |
| rampageoberon | hotmail is probably down | 05:49 |
| nano | but the service seems to work fine off my little bro's computer | 05:49 |
| nano | nope | 05:49 |
| rampageoberon | nano: hotmails been having some issues | 05:50 |
| Rabbitbunny | signup over there then. | 05:50 |
| rampageoberon | nano: let me check | 05:50 |
| nanothief | nano, off the point, get gmail instead :P | 05:50 |
| Zoem | Ketsueki, in the past, they have acted strangley (reconfiguring my mouse, for instance), so I try to avoid letting nvidia touch my xorg.conf | 05:50 |

| murgi_chor | Rabbitbunny how can i read my syslog when i cant get ne where | 05:54 |
| bobstro | pub: it depended on what i was interested in. syslog for awhile. | 05:54 |
| pub | oh | 05:55 |
| bobstro | pub: IIRC, it could be anything. it got annoying pretty quick though. | 05:55 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: Actually if the ash shell HAS it, 'dmesg' then looking at the last few lines could really help. | 05:55 |

| bobstro | pub: ah, i don't have it configured any longer. i think you can have it display any file though. | 05:57 |
| FAJALOU | anyone point me in teh right direction? | 05:57 |
| bringatowel | chengrq, if you want to use package manager, try enabling Multiverse in System -> Admin -> Software Sources | 05:57 |
| bobstro | pub: yes, lots of good stuff for the right price. | 05:57 |
| FAJALOU | udo find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null --sparse -pvd /mnt/newhome | 05:57 |

| FAJALOU | tried taht, | 05:57 |
| FAJALOU | but it messed me up | 05:58 |

| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: Er, what the... Ok, you're using grub.exe to bootstrap out of the windows boot-up in to the linux boot-up? (You do know that updates will be a Real pain, you'll have to manually copy over system information and re-setup your startup for each new kernel...) | 05:58 |
| pub | hehe, would you mind suggesting one? | 05:58 |
| pub | i currently have no antivirus as well, i just came over from xp | 05:58 |

| milonix | Hello everyone, i am looking for 2 things 1) is a good linux book for a linux newbie should pick up and read 2) a good linux tutorial that i can read untill i get the book, and to get my feet wet.. | 06:00 |
| pub | bobstro i am also connected to the internet via router :) | 06:00 |
| afallenhope | is having a separate /home partition bad or good/ | 06:00 |
| bobstro | pub: i usually wind up configuring my own iptables setup though. | 06:00 |
| pub | bobstro oh? but how does that work for websites, you must find out their ip? | 06:00 |
| bobstro | pub: well if the router has a firewall (most do), then you're in good shape. still a good idea to run a firewall on the actual box. | 06:00 |
| Skiz | I've always been partial to arnos-iptables-firewall | 06:00 |
| mojo | does anyone here want to have the latest SVN Debian package build of VisualBoyAdvance-M? | 06:00 |
| murgi_chor | pub butt then when i take away live cd it ll prolly go bak to bein a jerk | 06:00 |
| bobstro | pub: no, i set it up so i can go OUT, but nothing originating from outside comes IN. | 06:01 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: ok, can you do this when the computer first boots and grub (probably what you have) starts? Press 'e' to edit the command it's going to boot. I want you to see how it's specifying the partition... something like kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=9fe76f51-454e-4ddb-b735-b4e6559e7306 ro | 06:01 |
| pub | murgi_chor do the memory check with live cd and then when its done ( i let mine run 3 times because i didn'tknow what it was doing , lol) chose the install option | 06:01 |
| Madpilot | afallenhope, good, generally. Lets you re-install with minimal risk to your own data, and such | 06:01 |
| pub | bobstro, that's pretty neat, where can i read up on that? | 06:01 |
| afallenhope | I was told that it gets complicated | 06:02 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: ok, can you do this when the computer first boots and grub (probably what you have) starts? Press 'e' to edit the command it's going to boot. I want you to see how it's specifying the partition... something like kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=9fe76f51-454e-4ddb-b735-b4e6559e7306 ro << Note, there were SOME versions of the kernel/init that hated being given a disk by UUID | 06:02 |
| bobstro | pub: firestarter is nice little gui interface, but it does stupid things like fail when i switch between WLAN, ethernet and EVDO for example. | 06:02 |
| Madpilot | afallenhope, not really. Set it up once when you first install, forget about it after that. | 06:02 |
| bobstro | pub: man iptables will get you started, and there are some good howtos on the web. | 06:02 |
| murgi_chor | e to edit command at other options? | 06:02 |
| pub | alright, thank you ver much | 06:02 |
| steven_ | LOL | 06:03 |
| afallenhope | Madpilot: what if I already installed Ubuntu.. I'm removing my Windows partition and making that my /home (obviously I'm going to format it to ext2) | 06:03 |
| pub | murgi_chor, check ram is one of the options originally like install | 06:03 |
| bobstro | pub: there are two (at least) iptables -- the actual command, and init scripts that you can use to automatically configure your setup when you start. | 06:03 |
| pub | it has orange text | 06:03 |
| babola1 | where are my public key files stored | 06:03 |
| babola1 | ? | 06:03 |
| anirudh0 | babola1: `/.ssh | 06:03 |
| anirudh0 | ~/.ssh | 06:03 |
| bobstro | pub: just search on iptables in help. | 06:03 |
| pub | apt-get firestarter right now bobstro :) | 06:03 |
| pub | and will do on iptables | 06:04 |
| bobstro | pub: if you're on a fixed machine (one interface) it's fine. | 06:04 |
| Madpilot | afallenhope, you can move an existing install to have a seperate /home partition; you might be better off re-installing, though. | 06:04 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: You might need to change that to read something like... root=/dev/sda1 ... Actually that's a bit annoying. Linux might see hard drives as scsi or 'hard drive' devices, More modern ones will see everything as scsi devices. The first hard disk is given the letter a, the next b, and so on, but for 'ide' hard drives Primary Master == a, Secondary Master == C, and the slaves for each are B and D respectively... | 06:04 |
| babola1 | anirudh0: I've downloaded a .gpg file from the Web back when. If I just post that for download of other people, will it work just the same (wget)? | 06:04 |
| bobstro | pub: i went crazy long ago with iptables scripts, but my little linksys converted to dd-wrt linux keeps life simpler for me now. :) | 06:04 |
| anirudh0 | babola1: should.. | 06:05 |
| pub | nuts, "you must have root user privileges to use firestarter" | 06:05 |
| afallenhope | Madpilot: I've made way too many modifications to reinstall lol. I'd rather just move everything. | 06:05 |
| murgi_chor | pubs there is not check ram option in orange | 06:05 |
| pub | i made this account with root privileges as well | 06:05 |
| bobstro | pub: it doesn't ask you for your password? | 06:05 |
| tobago | hi can i add an own wallpaper for the account window? | 06:05 |
| murgi_chor | im runnin 8.04 live cd | 06:05 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: This would actually be a lot easier if you got in to a console on the install CD (alt+F1, F2, etc, until pressing enter on one gets you a line ending in #), then doing fdisk -l | 06:05 |
| bobstro | pub: yeah should work. | 06:05 |
| pub | no password | 06:05 |
| babola1 | anirudh0: i don't have a .ssh in my home folder | 06:05 |
| pub | just get insufficient priv box | 06:05 |
| bobstro | pub: worst-case, just do F2->gksudo firestarter then | 06:05 |
| === Veinor|away is now known as Veinor | ||
| pub | then Ok | 06:05 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: Or booted inside of it, just grab a terminal/shell/console, sudo bash, then run fdisk -l | 06:06 |
| Madpilot | afallenhope, you can do it that way. you'll just have to point the install at the new /home partition | 06:06 |
| anirudh0 | tobago: you need to make a new gdm theme ..i think | 06:06 |
| pub | murgi_chor you use, livecd 8.04 ? | 06:06 |
| murgi_chor | yaa | 06:06 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: that will list what drives and partitions you have, which can narrow down the list of ones to try instead of the root=UUID method, which may work. | 06:06 |
| afallenhope | Madpilot: I found this: http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=66 | 06:06 |
| pub | murgi_chor i am sure of it, when you pop the disc in, there are about 6 items in the list after you choose your language | 06:06 |
| anirudh0 | babola1: have you used ssh yet..to login somewhere? | 06:06 |
| afallenhope | Madpilot: it's an AWESOME site for Linux stuff. | 06:07 |
| bobstro | pub: not sure why it's doing that to you. mine just asked me for PW as i recall. | 06:07 |
| pub | bobstro, hehe i am using fluxbox so the gnome fkeys aren't the same | 06:07 |
| anirudh0 | murgi_chor: choose manual partitioning | 06:07 |
| Madpilot | afallenhope, cool - I know the psychocats site that he links to as well, it's generally solid | 06:07 |
| murgi_chor | pub it says : try ubuntu, install ubuntu, check cd for defects, test memory ,. boot from firrst hard disk | 06:07 |
| babola1 | no, anirudh0. I use that gpg file to authenticate a repo | 06:07 |
| bobstro | pub: ah sorry. bad assumption. well then whatever your "run" key is, or do it from terminal. | 06:07 |
| pub | ooo murgi_chor | 06:07 |
| Ketsueki | anirudh0: Walking him through a full re-install? | 06:07 |
| pub | ooo murgi_chor | 06:07 |
| afallenhope | okay. | 06:07 |
| pub | murgi_chor it is Check Memory* * | 06:07 |
| bobstro | pub: that may be why it didn't ask. | 06:07 |
| afallenhope | I'll be back in a few (booting on live CD) | 06:07 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: ahh..no enthu fo that ;) | 06:07 |
| murgi_chor | i dun c that ne where pub | 06:07 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: pub is helping him anyway | 06:07 |
| pub | anirudh0, he seems to have the same problem i had | 06:08 |
| Ketsueki | anirudh0: I think it might be an issue I saw on my laptop during testing... where it hated being told the partition by UUID. I can't remember what it was though, since it went away after later upgrades. | 06:08 |
| pub | you can continue helping him though, sorry | 06:08 |
| bobstro | pub: firestarter is gnome-centric. there may be a better option. they'll all use iptables under the hood. | 06:08 |

| anirudh0 | pub: when jack_sparrow is online, he keeps tellin me to use gksudo | 06:09 |
| bobstro | pub: once configured, it should launch at boot so you won't need to run that each time. at terminal, do "sudo iptables -nvL" to see what's been installed with iptables. | 06:09 |
| Ketsueki | keithclark: Maybe, because SELinux is installed, but really isn't actually enabled? | 06:09 |
| anirudh0 | pub: instead of sudo | 06:09 |
| Ketsueki | keithclark: No idea how to enable it though | 06:10 |
| BeBoBli | Well that guide didn't help. It would seem vmware already comes with a installer it just does nothing as far as I know | 06:10 |

| ^_x | solved: the photo touch up software I was trying to remember from earlier is called ---> lightzone | 06:11 |
| bobstro | anirudh0: way back when, "sudo" wouldn't let you launch gui programs, so you'd use "gksudo". ubuntu lately seems to handle it either way now. | 06:11 |
| anirudh0 | bobstro: sudo sometimes has a way of pulling in root's config..i.e. root's ~/ config files get read by the program | 06:12 |

| nanothief | whats a good program to automatically send keystrokes to X windows? I tried xte, but it can't send the windows key | 06:16 |
| anirudh0 | nanothief: xev | 06:16 |

| anirudh0 | keithclark: shows the dbus daemon's running | 06:17 |

| bobstro | pub: most of the time i don't use sudo to launch gui stuff, so that helps. | 06:17 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: the sound works fine, but for some reason everything is 'shifted' down | 06:17 |
| nanothief | anirudh0, does xve allow you to send keystrokes? | 06:17 |
| nanothief | *xev | 06:17 |
| keithclark | anirudh0: ok, so that much is good..... | 06:17 |

| anirudh0 | keithclark: not sure..try starting nautilus..see if you get a similar error | 06:18 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: No clue why.... | 06:18 |
| RAdams | sudo is never for gui stuff.... that's what gksu is for | 06:18 |
| anirudh0 | K^Holtz: try using a different driver in mplayer | 06:19 |
| RAdams | or kdesu, depending on your flavor | 06:19 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: I was asking you to elaborate, like if you drag it around, it STILL only displays the top half of the video? Or it doesn't following hte window... or what. | 06:19 |
| bobstro | RAdams: yes. as we said. | 06:19 |
| RAdams | bobstro: sorry, missed that | 06:19 |
| bigdaddy0522 | good evening everyone | 06:19 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: let me try that and ill let you know what happens | 06:19 |
| bobstro | RAdams: he got it working (firestarter) was the main thing. | 06:19 |
| anirudh0 | RAdams: kubuntu came out with kdesudo..kdesu is outdated...and possibly dangerous | 06:19 |
| keithclark | anirudh0: Nautilus starts with this: ** (nautilus:16920): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported | 06:20 |
| bobstro | RAdams: though i do find it interesting that they seem to have made efforts to allow sudo to work well launching gui stuff in recent years. | 06:20 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: Don't tell me... I'm just grilling you for better problem-data. I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it, but I DO know a poor problem statement and details when I see it. | 06:20 |
| nanothief | anirudh0, I'm pretty sure by the man page that xev is just a diagnostic tool, were you thinking of another program? | 06:20 |
| RAdams | anirudh0: Oh, thanks for the info... haven't really used KDE in about 2 years, so my knowledge of it is dated :) | 06:20 |
| pub | bobstro, it seems that once i minimize firestarter and then maximize it again from the systray, the box is empty | 06:20 |
| anirudh0 | nanothief: you wanted to find out the keycode for the win key right? | 06:20 |
| RAdams | bobstro: yes, it seems strange to do, if they're going to bother providing gksu | 06:20 |
| pub | it must have something to do with fluxbox then | 06:20 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: i wasnt criticizing you or anything, i was just telling you i was about to try it | 06:20 |
| bobstro | RAdams: i recall well when sudo wouldn't work but gksudo would... unless you did all the DISPLAY stuff for X 1st. | 06:21 |
| nanothief | anirudh0, no, I wanted the ability to send the windows key (plus other keys) to applications, like autohotkey in windows. | 06:21 |
| bigdaddy0522 | anyone know how to make an ipod work for amarok...i plug in boots up in rythmbox and when i go to do anything with it in amarok...nilch | 06:21 |
| bobstro | pub: are the rules in place (iptables -nvL)? | 06:21 |
| pub | bobstro, oh no | 06:21 |
| bobstro | pub: not working? | 06:21 |
| pub | bobstro, what was it again after firestarter is running? | 06:21 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: I know you weren't I was just saying I'd already reached the limit of what help I could offer (more tests to try to narrow down symptoms), and that you shouldn't address me with the results specifically. | 06:21 |
| bobstro | pub: open a terminal and do 'sudo iptables -nvL' to view current rules. | 06:22 |
| RAdams | bigdaddy0522: nilch means... it doesn't see the ipod at all? it can see the ipod, but can't see contents? or... | 06:22 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: gotcha | 06:22 |
| anirudh0 | K^Holtz: try mplayer -vo x11 | 06:22 |

| bobstro | pub: you could cheat, run firestarter once, then save that config with iptables-save (see help) | 06:23 |
| Ketsueki | falconfoxx: Those... should probably have automatically happened at boot time. They're dirt common... I can't really offer further help except for problem statement clarification: Namely, Sound Blaster (What Card Version/Type)? | 06:23 |
| icogens | Hi, pidgin is current Uniterruptible, is using 80%+ of my system resources, and has sucked down 1.5 GiB of memory. What exactly does this mean? I'm assuming it's on the not good end of things. | 06:23 |
| nanothief | anirudh0, thanks, exactly what I was looking for :) | 06:24 |
| bobstro | pub: it looks like a lot, but once you get hang of syntax, not so bad. | 06:24 |
| anirudh0 | icogens: no it is not..sudo killall pidgin | 06:24 |
| anirudh0 | icogens: or use the system monitor to kill pidgin | 06:24 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: killall pidgen | 06:24 |
| RAdams | bigdaddy0522: can it see anything there? or does it act as if nothing whatsoever is connected? the two problems are quite different | 06:24 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: Then, maybe, try again. | 06:24 |
| pub | bobstro, i installed eterm and the scroll up length is limited, so my view is _limiteD_ | 06:24 |
| bigdaddy0522 | RAdams it doesnt see any device at all. | 06:25 |
| bobstro | pub: perhaps "sudo iptables -nvL | less" then | 06:25 |
| bobstro | pub: if the rules aren't working, it's a SHORT list so it's a good sign. | 06:25 |

| bobstro | pub: the logs are interesting for 10 minutes. after that, you want to run something like snort and good reporting to avoid drowning. | 06:27 |
| anirudh0 | enos: unlikely..but possible | 06:28 |

| pub | bobstro, hehe | 06:30 |
| enos | RAdams: this may seem kind of silly but how do I post my xorg.conf on pastebin? I only have terminal access no gui. | 06:30 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: It's a console version of that system process thingy you were using... which I'm much more familliar with. | 06:30 |
| pub | bobstro, better safe than sorry? :P | 06:30 |
| bobstro | enos: i've got an intel 945. under 8.04, haven't had to do much but you might read up on 915resolution. | 06:30 |
| bobstro | enos: i haven't tried it docked since upgrading now that i think about it. | 06:31 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: it's also much easier to copy/paste from, though a little simpler then your other tool. | 06:31 |
| bobstro | enos: is it displaying on the laptop display ok? | 06:31 |
| enos | bobstro: I did install 915resolution but not too sure how to configure that, i'm also using U8. | 06:31 |

| pub | bobstro, sudo apt-get install snort or snort-common? | 06:31 |

| enos | bobstro: its perfect on the laptop LCD | 06:31 |
| bigdaddy0522 | RAdams do you knwo what that lib was called per chance | 06:32 |
| bobstro | pub: i think snort pulls in common. that's a whole hobby unto itself though. | 06:32 |
| RAdams | bigdaddy0522: looking for it now... | 06:32 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: P sorts everything by CPU use. You should have a line near the top saying 'pidgin' on the right. | 06:32 |
| RAdams | bigdaddy0522: This page should help you: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod | 06:32 |

| anirudh0 | icogens: what did you do to make pidgin misbehave in this manner? | 06:34 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: Crap, it's in D mode over something? You're stuck. It did something stupid inside of kernel-land. | 06:34 |

| dislo | hey guys is there a dynamic dns updater in apt | 06:34 |
| RAdams | np | 06:34 |
| anirudh0 | BeBoBli: the script might need root perms | 06:34 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: does it say not found, or just do nothing. i usually run it with "./vmware-install.sh" since it won't be in $PATH | 06:34 |
| BeBoBli | How would I give it that? | 06:34 |
| icogens | anirudh0: I didn't talk to anyone on it in twenty five minutes or so, and watched frisky dingo for a while. | 06:34 |
| BeBoBli | bobstro, telling it to run does nothing as well as running it in a terminal | 06:35 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: anirudh0 is right. at some point it will need root to install drivers etc. | 06:35 |
| anirudh0 | icogens: might be a plugin that did it..do you have a plugin that kicks in when you are idle | 06:35 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: try "sudo ./install-vmware.sh" | 06:35 |
| Ketsueki | icogens: http://linuxgazette.net/issue83/tag/6.html | 06:35 |
| anirudh0 | icogens: if you find out the source, you should probably file a bug report | 06:35 |
| BeBoBli | will do an report back | 06:35 |
| icogens | anirudh0: It's all default as far as I can tell. | 06:36 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: i just did several vmware servers :) | 06:36 |

| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: What's the current status? Still unchanged, possibly passed a full run through the memory test? | 06:39 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: with build-essential loaded, i literally just did "sudo ./vmware-install.pl" and followed steps. | 06:39 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: just to confirm, you ARE doing the "./" at start, right? | 06:39 |

| pitsN | really messed up with 1280*800, did many according to several tutorials. simply did not work. But my 7.04 works fine, could i simply copy over the 7.04/xorg.conf over to my 8.04 ? | 06:40 |
| bobstro | anirudh0: could be. i just did a fresh install, installed build-essential and built 3 of these things. | 06:40 |

| hotmonkeyluv | Could one of you look at this screenshot and see if this is normal? I have a core2duo, 64bit ubuntu, and 2gb ram, I want to put my comp under 100% load, but it just isn't doing it. http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=73767&d=1213249332 | 06:44 |
| RAdams | pitsN: desktop or laptop? | 06:44 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: er yeah, sorry | 06:44 |
| RAdams | !ask | GameAddictHotlin | 06:44 |
| ubottu | GameAddictHotlin: 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. :-) | 06:44 |
| bobstro | does ls -l show it executable (x)? | 06:44 |
| GameAddictHotlin | ouch. ok. | 06:44 |
| nicle | The edgy repos has beem reomve from the offical site | 06:45 |
| pitsN | RAdams: laptop | 06:45 |
| anirudh0 | BeBoBli: lets get this right..you are in the right dir..vmware_install.pl exists..you run sudo ./vmware_install.pl and get nothing | 06:45 |
| BeBoBli | bobstro: yes, vmware-install.pl in light blue | 06:45 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: mine shows "lrwxrwxrwx 1 bob bob 23 2008-05-15 02:16 vmware-install.pl -> bin/vmware-uninstall.pl | 06:45 |
| bobstro | " | 06:45 |
| RAdams | pitsN: can you post the output of lspci to pastebin? | 06:45 |
| pub | bobstro, when i do `find firestarter` , it can't be found? do you know the dir so i can try out the log | 06:45 |
| BeBoBli | I will try running it one more time on the desktop okay? | 06:45 |
| ghindo | I'm using ssh to login to a remote machine, but for some reason, it's not recognizing the hostname. ssh recognizes the IP address alright, but when I try to ssh username@hostname, I get "Name or service not known" | 06:45 |
| GameAddictHotlin | XP laptop died, have external hd, need to transfer files from laptop to external hard drive. | 06:45 |
| BeBoBli | bobstro however all of those things are correct | 06:45 |
| anirudh0 | ghindo: add the hostname to /etc/hosts | 06:45 |
| RAdams | ghindo: what happens when you ping the name? and yes, add it to /etc/hosts as anirudh0 said | 06:46 |
| Ganandorf | hi guys i need a website and i would like to know its free to make one | 06:46 |
| anirudh0 | BeBoBli: this does not make any sense..some step must be wrong | 06:46 |
| BeBoBli | I think i got it | 06:46 |
| ghindo | RAdams: It says "unknown host" | 06:46 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: i just realized i left the .pl off. so "sudo ./vmware-install.pl" | 06:46 |
| anirudh0 | Ganandorf: lots of free sites ..check googlepages or yahoo | 06:46 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: this should be real simple! | 06:46 |
| BeBoBli | We were saying install-vmware when it was backwards it was vmware-install how ridiculous! | 06:47 |
| RAdams | ghindo: "man hosts" | 06:47 |
| anirudh0 | bobstro: i think we will soon find out some other crucial fact..like the .pl | 06:47 |
| Ketsueki | murgi_chor: Entire disk does things the old tried and true way. LVM uses a storage abstraction layer to allow you to more easily remap how you use your storage. Encrypted LVM is the same thing, but it also makes your data secret (locked/secured/etc) so that you have to enter a password to get to it (Possibly more, I've not used it.) | 06:47 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: haha. i just start typing and hit tab to be honest :) | 06:47 |
| Wo|f | Hello. I'm remastering and customizing an Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD. I'm looking for a way to modify the addons and bookmarks included with Firefox for the LiveCD user. I thought about using /etc/skel, but it does seem to work. Your suggestions are most welcome. | 06:47 |
| bobstro | anirudh0: yep. | 06:47 |
| Ganandorf | anirudh0: what do i need exactly to make and design a webpage what should i get and stuff and is it totally free to do so | 06:47 |
| ghindo | anirudh0, RAdams: Thanks | 06:47 |
| anirudh0 | Ganandorf: check blogger.com | 06:47 |
| Ganandorf | cause some one was telling me about web hosting that i need a server | 06:47 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: tab key makes you honest? | 06:47 |
| Ganandorf | how true is that | 06:47 |
| pitsN | RAdams: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19555/ :) | 06:47 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: best kind of problem. | 06:47 |
| RAdams | Ganandorf: www.w3schools.org | 06:48 |
| anirudh0 | Ganandorf: for you own domain name, you do need a server | 06:48 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: yes, it's a very powerful key. | 06:48 |
| RAdams | pitsN: line 3 | 06:48 |
| Ganandorf | and that cost money or can i get that free and how tweakable is my space in terms oof design and layout | 06:48 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: and to think, in the early 90's thats a useless key. | 06:48 |
| BeBoBli | bobstro and anirudh0: I am sorry for the waste of time however it seems to be working now and the problem due to the most silly of mixups thanks for the help | 06:48 |
| anirudh0 | rabbitear: tab key makes you correct | 06:48 |
| RAdams | Ganandorf: google "google pages". I think you would find it ideal for what you need. | 06:49 |
| Ketsueki | Ganandorf: Er, Wow... The easiest thing to do at this point, especially for someone asking such a question, is to pay someone else to host your server for you. I honestly suspect that trying to learn how to run one your self will either be so time consuming or otherwise costly that learning how to do it would not be worth the effort. | 06:49 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: hehe, glad it's working! i'm having a lot of fun with vmware. try server out soon. good stuff. | 06:49 |
| rabbitear | anirudh0: ya. | 06:49 |
| anirudh0 | BeBoBli: most of the time, i respond to these final posts with a "np"..however, i'd request you to do more homework next time | 06:49 |
| Ketsueki | Ganandorf: RAdams idea might work out better... I don't know enough about that to judge. | 06:49 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: i don't remember if my apple ][ had one. | 06:49 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: it did................. | 06:49 |
| BeBoBli | bobstro: what are the advantages of server? | 06:49 |
| pitsN | RAdams: could you help? | 06:50 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: I remember it, not a completion. | 06:50 |
| GameAddictHotlin | XP laptop died, have external hd, need to transfer files from laptop to external hard drive. Don't understand permissions. | 06:50 |
| aubuntuguy | Is there any way to synchronize the encrypted partition password with the users signon password? | 06:50 |
| bobstro | BeBoBli: automatic startup of virtual machines, can access console (e.g. BIOS) via web browser. | 06:50 |
| BeBoBli | that's wicked | 06:50 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: Define, 'Died' | 06:50 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: the solution is a live cd | 06:50 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: don't get me started with that stuff! | 06:50 |
| GameAddictHotlin | I am getting a live cd | 06:50 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool checking the suggestions out thanks if there are any more please let me know | 06:51 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: What went wrong with the laptop? | 06:51 |
| GameAddictHotlin | one issue is getting the read/write permissions | 06:51 |
| GameAddictHotlin | XP startup died | 06:51 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: then you have nothing...except a defunct hd, to fear | 06:51 |
| bobstro | aubuntuguy: that sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? | 06:51 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: your hd had what fs? | 06:51 |
| aubuntuguy | bobstro, what do you mean? | 06:51 |
| GameAddictHotlin | fs? | 06:51 |
| GameAddictHotlin | NTFS | 06:51 |
| Ganandorf | i am a poet and song writer and recordings artist and i just need a place to display my stuff i do it as a hobby so i don't really want to pay money | 06:51 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: filesystem...ntfs,fat? | 06:51 |
| rabbitear | http://www.vintage-computer.com/images/apple2keyboard.jpg << bobstro I lied I guess | 06:51 |
| GameAddictHotlin | sorry. I'm a newb at linux | 06:51 |
| RAdams | pitsN: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2717114&postcount=13 | 06:51 |
| Ganandorf | so thanks so far | 06:51 |
| bobstro | aubuntuguy: if you automate it, anybody that gets his password can get at files with no problem, right? | 06:51 |
| bobstro | aubuntuguy: just an observation. no big deal. | 06:52 |
| anirudh0 | Ganandorf: check devianart..ideal for your needs | 06:52 |
| anirudh0 | Ganandorf: for artists , by artists ;) | 06:52 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: I agree with anirudh0 on this one. If your hard disk it's self is toast, data recovery may be impossible. anirudh0 Of course it was NTFS... Do you know of any default from factory XP installs that aren't? (and this guy sounds very much like that would be the case) | 06:52 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: i said i didn't remember if it had one! | 06:52 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: that was the first 'my computer' but its been too damn long | 06:52 |
| Ganandorf | but do i get to customize it the way that i would like graphically | 06:52 |
| rabbitear | lol | 06:52 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: the pic shows it didn't. | 06:52 |
| GameAddictHotlin | well, I tried another live cd and saw everything | 06:52 |
| GameAddictHotlin | so it's there | 06:53 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: ntfs has no permissions to preserve..the linux driver cant read the ntfs perms | 06:53 |
| GameAddictHotlin | just not able to get in | 06:53 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: yeah, had a ][+. mix up with //e sometimes though. | 06:53 |
| pen | how do I load evdev after login? | 06:53 |
| GameAddictHotlin | ah | 06:53 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: install linux | 06:53 |
| RAdams | Ganandorf: www.deviantart.com, as anirudh0 said, but misspelled :P and yes, you can customize its appearance, to an extent check it's help section | 06:53 |
| pen | evdev module | 06:53 |
| aubuntuguy | I just think it would be easier to have one password for the partition and the signon, and if you change the signon password then have it change the partition password. I think at least give users the option | 06:53 |
| GameAddictHotlin | so only thing left is an enclosure? | 06:53 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: then you are saved..run ntfsfix anyway..you might even be able to use xp | 06:53 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: actually I liked the IT-99-4a keyboard better. | 06:53 |
| PolitikerALT | I got a problem: s2disk doesn't work for me - it writes a snapshot onto the disk, but cannot resume | 06:53 |

| aubuntuguy | So is there anythink like that out there? | 06:53 |
| === kat is now known as Guest18820 | ||
| bobstro | rabbitear: hey, i've got the beast still, intend to have it run as a terminal -- tail syslog or some such for fun. | 06:53 |
| aubuntuguy | So is there anything like that out there? | 06:53 |
| GameAddictHotlin | ntfsfix is in linux or on the WinXP cd? | 06:53 |
| anirudh0 | rabbitear: you can map your keyboard to anything else..see xmodmap | 06:54 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: lowercase. sheer luxury! | 06:54 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool and how customizable is my space | 06:54 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: run ntfsfix on the hd partition | 06:54 |
| pitsN | RAdams: sorry , i even do not know howto install ? any hints :) | 06:54 |
| RAdams | aubuntuguy: giving the lvm encryption password to a higher level software is a security hole. | 06:54 |
| anirudh0 | Ganandorf: see the site for more details please | 06:54 |
| pen | hotplug will fail because x will unload evdev after it failed to find the device | 06:54 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: cools, man, ya I remember that... save a Word Processor proggy that I forgot the name of, . | 06:54 |
| pen | how do I make sure evdev load if I plug the mouse in | 06:54 |
| rabbitear | bobstro: talk to you later, have to jet right now.. | 06:54 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: anirudh0 True, very true. However, we've yet to determine what the real issue is. GameAddictHotlin Yes, Actually, you should look in to smart-mon-tools (program smartctl ) to TEST the hard drive first, to see if it has physical errors, Especially since it is a laptop hard disk. HOWEVER, if you are already hearing 'strange' noises, like clicks or cluncks form the drive, BACKUP DATA FIRST. | 06:54 |
| bobstro | rabbitear: ok, later. | 06:54 |
| RAdams | pitsN: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" | 06:55 |
| darth | anirudh0, i use truecrypt and mount the first partition with passphrase (/usr) and the rest with keyfiles on /usr | 06:55 |
| pitsN | RAdams: thanks :) | 06:55 |
| RAdams | pitsN: I recommend you backup your xorg.conf FIRST | 06:55 |
| darth | that way i only need to type one passphrase | 06:55 |
| anirudh0 | darth: err...why tell me? | 06:55 |
| GameAddictHotlin | issues are that the XP startup crashes and in safe-mode hangs on files | 06:55 |
| aubuntuguy | RAdams, okay I could see that, but still. If there is an option to give the user the ability to synchronize the signon password with the encryption password would be a good thing. At least have the option. Is there anything like that? | 06:56 |
| darth | lol sorry wrong person anirudh0 :) | 06:56 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: on the face of it, looks like a sector corruption | 06:56 |
| GameAddictHotlin | so I am just getting off the files from the laptop so I can start from scratch | 06:56 |
| darth | but you can keep it regardless :) | 06:56 |
| RAdams | aubuntuguy: see what darth wrote | 06:56 |
| GameAddictHotlin | hmmm | 06:56 |
| RAdams | GameAddictHotlin: It is easier to see what you are typing if you don't use the enter key for punctuation. :) | 06:56 |
| darth | aubuntu just use the same password? | 06:56 |
| anirudh0 | GameAddictHotlin: i would think that backup first is advised..however see Ketsueki's post | 06:57 |
| darth | figure out a password for user and partition and stick with it, then you have it "synced"... although i wouldn't do that myself | 06:57 |
| GameAddictHotlin | I would love to back up the hd on the laptop, but I have no way. | 06:57 |
| aubuntuguy | darth, do you mean manually type in the password for both. | 06:57 |
| GameAddictHotlin | is there a boot cd that transfers files | 06:57 |
| darth | yes | 06:58 |
| Bortex | Hi, please join irc://irc.foonetic.net/xkcd for a moment, I need help configuring my Ubuntu laptop thing | 06:58 |
| anirudh0 | any ideas whether customs in european airports check hd for torrented movies? | 06:58 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: anirudh0 is actually correct. Backing up your files first is probably the wisest option in any case. However, once you have done that, testing the disk integrity with the S.M.A.R.T. self test (it's a thing built in to the drive, but it takes special utility programs to activate it). | 06:58 |
| anirudh0 | i know its ot, but this might be the best place to ask | 06:58 |
| aubuntuguy | Thats not the solution I was looking for | 06:58 |
| darth | aubuntuguy, you could use a usb-stick for keyfiles instead of passphrases | 06:58 |
| aubuntuguy | keyfiles??? | 06:59 |
| GameAddictHotlin | ok. so how would I back it up? I would love to do that and get the files then fix the hd | 06:59 |
| jshriver | greetings | 06:59 |
| pitsN | RAdams: good discovery: i found one of my backup says: SubSection "Display" ... 1280x1024--> could i simply updated to 1280x800? | 06:59 |
| darth | yeah... lvm supports keyfiles right? | 06:59 |
| jshriver | I just updated to 8.3 from 7.10 now my res is off | 06:59 |
| GameAddictHotlin | not sure on what boot cd would be best | 06:59 |
| aubuntuguy | could these keyfiles be synced with the users signon password | 06:59 |
| jshriver | only getting 640x480.. using Nvidia drivers | 06:59 |
| Ketsueki | anirudh0: If I were going through ANY customs, I'd crypto everything but a shell of a system that I knew was secured. It might even be best to crypt the remainder of the drive in a way that you couldn't undo without a little extra help from data stored/sent elsewhere already. | 06:59 |
| RAdams | pitsN: sometimes! I had luck with that, but YMMV | 06:59 |
| darth | aubuntuguy, what do you mean? | 06:59 |

| Wo|f | Hello. I'm remastering and customizing an Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD. I'm looking for a way to modify the addons and bookmarks included with Firefox for the LiveCD user. I tried using /etc/skel, but it doesn't seem to work. Your suggestions are most welcome | 07:00 |
| aubuntuguy | well I would like a single password for both the encrypted partition and the actual login | 07:00 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: you said you have an external hard drive? Do you think it has enough free space for you to copy all your files from your laptop's hard drive to it? | 07:00 |
| jshriver | How do you allow X to run above 640x480? I have a Nvidia GF 7300GT 512meg ram card | 07:00 |
| aubuntuguy | so the login password could you use a keyfile to change the login password | 07:00 |
| jshriver | only doing this after upgrading to 8.3 | 07:00 |
| aubuntuguy | ? | 07:00 |
| darth | aubuntuguy, : do you just want the same password or do you want to only type one password? | 07:01 |
| anirudh0 | Wo|f: debuntu.com has a very good guide | 07:01 |
| Ketsueki | jshriver: I suggest investigating use of the Restricted Drivers for nvidia | 07:01 |
| GameAddictHotlin | maybe. But I'm only just trying to capture two folders and the partition for testing and recovery. It's a Dell. | 07:01 |
| darth | if you want to use encryptionn without having to type you will need to use keyfiles and put them somewhere "safe" | 07:01 |
| donkeyofdarkness | jshriver, sudo apt-get isntall nvidia-settings | 07:01 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: Computer brand is not a factor for this. | 07:01 |
| Wo|f | anirudh0, do you have a specific URL? | 07:01 |
| darth | aubuntuguy, ...... like keyfiles on a usb-stick | 07:01 |
| === morgan555_ is now known as morgan555 | ||
| anirudh0 | Wo|f: google for "debuntu customize ubuntu livecd" | 07:02 |
| aubuntuguy | darth, well typing in the same password is okay. But if I change the login password. I would like the encrypted password to change automatically to the new login password | 07:02 |
| theRealBallchalk | guys! what's the difference between an xml-parser-lib and xml-perl-parser-module ? | 07:02 |
| Ketsueki | jshriver: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+restricted+driver+nvidia << for a start | 07:02 |
| GameAddictHotlin | I understand. Just giving some insight on the HD. | 07:02 |
| darth | aubuntuguy, i guess you could write a script to do that instead of passwd | 07:02 |
| bobstro | darth: is truecrypt 'password' he's referring to the actual encryption key? can you 'change' it without re-encrypting? | 07:03 |
| Ketsueki | aubuntuguy: I'd not even take the key with me. I'd send it to some trusted associate ahead of time, probably wrapped in a GPG wrapper to them and/or my self. | 07:03 |
| darth | aubuntuguy, i would advise against using the same passphrase for user and encrypted partition | 07:03 |
| jshriver | how do you reconfigure X? | 07:03 |
| Shadowpillar | anyone know where I can get freepbx as a repository download? | 07:04 |
| jshriver | I installed the nvidia-settings added a couple more packages | 07:04 |
| blacksheep | opa | 07:04 |
| RAdams | theRealBallchalk: the first is a library for parsing xml, the second is a perl module for parsing xml. | 07:04 |
| blacksheep | sera q alguem pode me responder uma pergunta | 07:04 |
| darth | bobstro, i think you can change passwords on the fly in truecrypt | 07:04 |
| pitsN | RAdams: i m in middle of a big update, waiting...:) why ubuntu did not provide all possible list of options for users to choose our best screen. i remembered when i install ubuntu in vmware, there are too many to use though | 07:04 |
| Wo|f | anirudh0, a specific URL would be more helpful. I've already got the squashfs extracted and can modify packages and the like. The assistance I'm looking for is more specific than that. And telling me to Google it isn't exactly helpful, but thank you anyway | 07:04 |
| === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC | ||
| aubuntuguy | I can see that there is a bit of a security risk here. But I still think if people had the option. Then they would use it | 07:04 |
| Ketsueki | jshriver: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+dpkg-reconfigure+X But you might need to use the nvidia tool to do it... | 07:04 |
| K^Holtz | The sounds on my laptop are working, but the sound wont play in Youtube. Anyone know why? | 07:05 |
| blacksheep | exite iug for amd64 ? | 07:05 |
| jshriver | thanks reading | 07:05 |
| aubuntuguy | Has no one else asked for this? | 07:05 |
| bobstro | darth: i always thought 'plausible deniability' was the big draw with truecrypt. since it looks like random data, you could deny anything's there. using your usual password certainly seems to defeat that! | 07:05 |
| aubuntuguy | or would like this | 07:05 |
| theRealBallchalk | RAdams: so what uses the lib if not perl? | 07:05 |
| RAdams | aubuntuguy: post to launchpad as a feature request | 07:05 |
| === donkeyofdarkness is now known as gatorade_fish | ||
| RAdams | theRealBallchalk: programs written in perl :o | 07:06 |
| Ketsueki | bobstro: Most crypto programs generate a random actual 'key' which is then secured by a password. Changing your password just re-encodes the actual key with that password for them. | 07:06 |
| pitsN | RAdams: can i stop the update manager? will its partial download be wasted ? | 07:07 |
| bobstro | Ketsueki: you'd certainly be making it easier for anybody out to get at that data if you 'sync' them. | 07:07 |
| Ketsueki | bobstro: Of coruse... some really do use the password you use... A good password would also be useful, as the key could be in a known location, and thus may be susceptable to some types of brute force attacks. | 07:07 |
| darth | bobstro, agreed | 07:07 |
| bobstro | Ketsueki: i'd just be concerned that you change it from breaking truecrypt to just breaking his password hash. | 07:07 |
| darth | syncing encryption and user passwords is stupid | 07:07 |
| bobstro | Ketsueki: so ... why bother? | 07:07 |
| === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU | ||
| theRealBallchalk | RAdams: how much space do u think the perl xml parser package needs | 07:08 |
| RAdams | pitsN: stopping the update manager is like slamming the brakes on a freight train. it will stop, but bad things can happen. is it in the downloading phase still? | 07:08 |
| Ketsueki | darth: yes, very. | 07:08 |
| cef | K^Holtz: the flash plugin either wants to grab the soundcard exclusively (most likely). you could try 'sudo modprobe alsa-oss' and try again (you'll need to restart firefox) | 07:08 |
| bobstro | darth: yeah, that's my concern. truecrypt seems a waste then. | 07:08 |
| theRealBallchalk | becauese i need it to configure ; make a prog | 07:08 |
| darth | but it's his choice... at least he knows that i/we dont like it | 07:08 |
| Ketsueki | GameAddictHotlin: How's it comming on that download / etc? What, Precicely are you downloading anyway? | 07:08 |
| cef | K^Holtz: if that works, you can edit /etc/modules and add it in there | 07:08 |
| darth | bobstro: the trick with truecrypt is to NOT use the same passphrase for user and ecnryption :) | 07:08 |
| pitsN | RAdams: it is downloading package files to be used for the update | 07:08 |
| g1g4f3rz | hello | 07:09 |

| jshriver | also seems to be perm... for the past year I've had to run the NVIDIA-Linux-blah-blah.run everytime I rebooted to reload the drivers | 07:09 |
| bobstro | darth: surely there's a "stupid crypto tricks" page out there somewhere. | 07:09 |
| Ketsueki | bobstro: Read the comments by others. Nearly ... | 07:09 |
| darth | bobstro, ahh yes the power of the intarwebz! | 07:10 |
| Ketsueki | jshriver: You've done it wrong. You should never have to run that, Ubuntu has packages that already HAVE the driver and integrate better. | 07:10 |

| g1g4f3rz | hellopeople,im looking for an deb package , acetoneiso for ubuntu 7.10 | 07:10 |
| aubuntuguy | darth how many people do you think have made there signon password the same as the encrypted partition password. Do you think I am the only person in the world who has done this. | 07:10 |
| Ketsueki | jshaffer: More specifically, the ubuntu packages do that stuff for you. | 07:10 |
| RAdams | pitsN: if it's just downloading, you could cancel it, but sometimes it gets pissy with you and doesn't unlock the lock file... not a big deal, you just have to do it yourself. Unless you really need to cancel it, best just to let it go | 07:10 |
| aubuntuguy | I am sure other users have synced there passwords | 07:10 |
| aubuntuguy | manually of course | 07:10 |
| darth | aubuntuguy,i have no idea, i just advise against it | 07:10 |
| cef | K^Holtz: hrm.. which version of ubuntu? | 07:10 |
| anirudh0 | Wo|f: can you open up firefox in the chroot env?...if not look at the ff bookmarks folder..i think its .mozilla/firefox/<profile>bookmarks.html | 07:10 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: not if the key is long enough..then noone(with the possible exception of the nsa) would have a non-neglible probablity of cracking it using a rutre force attack | 07:10 |
| RAdams | theRealBallchalk: Synaptic could tell you | 07:10 |
| Ketsueki | jshaffer: Look for how to install and use the Restricted Driver for nvidia under ubuntu if you want to use that. Then please install it the ubuntu way. | 07:11 |
| K^Holtz | cef: hardy | 07:11 |
| ghindo | g1g4f3rz: http://www.acetoneiso.netsons.org/viewpage.php?page_id=2 | 07:11 |
| bobstro | aubuntuguy: it's more a question of the importance of protecting the data. if you don't really care (e.g. just hiding some stuff) then no big deal. if it's really important, it's good to know the risk. just like running as root all the time. you can, but it's a risk. | 07:11 |
| theRealBallchalk | RAdams: thanks | 07:11 |

| cedriczg | Hi ubuntu users. I am looking for someone that can help me with java plugin on a ubuntu 8.04 64bits | 07:12 |
| Ketsueki | anirudh0: Do you not want a strong enough setup to make the cost of breaking it higher then any potential value in doing so? I would prefer the cost to be high enough that someone would feel it more expedient to escilate to the level of going around laws to unlawfully try to extract any key/etc info from me, rather then risk making it transparent for megacorps and major governments. | 07:12 |
| RAdams | sauvin: I'm psychic. You're using window compositing ("desktop effects") | 07:12 |
| g1g4f3rz | hello guys,i need an old deb acetoneiso package for ubuntu 7.10 | 07:12 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: wow | 07:13 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: what a post | 07:13 |
| cedriczg | How can I install the java plugin as 32 bit on the 64 bit platform? | 07:13 |
| sauvin | RAdams, yes. I'm trying to disable them, in fact. How to kill? | 07:13 |
| cedriczg | Because I couln't find a 64bit java plugin | 07:13 |
| seagull_man | hello | 07:13 |
| Panik | it says it cant find gtk2.0 on my system | 07:13 |
| RAdams | sauvin: You also have an nvidia graphics card | 07:13 |
| Panik | how do i install | 07:13 |
| cedriczg | hello | 07:13 |
| sauvin | RAdams, yes. | 07:13 |
| darth | RAdams, HALLELUJAH! | 07:13 |
| Panik | it says it cant find gtk2.0 on my system | 07:14 |
| Ketsueki | anirudh0: Of course... I don't actually run crypto at that level on any of my systems yet. However, the point is, if you're Going to do it, do it right. | 07:14 |
| Panik | how do i install | 07:14 |
| Panik | it says it cant find gtk2.0 on my system | 07:14 |
| RAdams | darth: ? | 07:14 |
| alan_m | !patience | Panik | 07:14 |
| ubottu | Panik: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 07:14 |
| Starnestommy | Panik: try libgtk2.0-0 | 07:14 |
| Starnestommy | Panik: and lubgtk2.0-dev | 07:14 |
| darth | RAdams, you psychic abilities | 07:14 |
| cedriczg | Who is using a 64bit distro from you guys? | 07:14 |
| GameAddictHotlin | alright. I'm going to download a smart-mon-tools cd and test and then does ubuntu have a fixntfs? | 07:14 |
| Starnestommy | Panik: er, libgtk2.0-dev | 07:14 |
| RAdams | darth: oh, yeah, i'm amazing alright | 07:14 |
| sauvin | RAdams, do you know how to kill the desktop effects? | 07:14 |
| cedriczg | I need to install the java plugin and want to have it on the 64bit distro | 07:15 |
| darth | cedriczg, i use it on my workstation | 07:15 |
| anirudh0 | Ketsueki: that assumes that you are in a high risk environment to begin..win boxes are so much easier to break in, that the probability of your being "broken into", given that you run linux, is _very_ small | 07:15 |
| RAdams | sauvin: do you want to kill them or fix the problem? | 07:15 |
| Ketsueki | cedriczg: I am actually, Kubuntu, 64 bit (x86_64 type, not IA64) | 07:15 |
| sauvin | I'd rather fix the problem, actually. | 07:15 |
| darth | is there a sparc64 ubuntu? | 07:15 |
| cedriczg | darth, Hi. How did you isntall the java plugin? | 07:15 |
| Ketsueki | anirudh0: Yeah, like I said, I don't consider my stuff to be valuable enough to run it like that yet. | 07:15 |
| RAdams | sauvin: my psychic powers tell me that this is missing from your Section "Device" in your xorg.conf: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" | 07:16 |
| Ketsueki | darth: Maybe... I've no idea, but it should be possible. | 07:16 |
| ghindo | darth: I believe that the only architectures supported are x86 and x86-64. | 07:16 |
| g1g4f3rz | hello ,guys, imlooking for acetoneiso deb package for ubuntu 7.10, i cant find it, anyone? | 07:16 |
| sauvin | RAdams, let me test your psychic ability :D | 07:16 |
| ghindo | darth: Check Debian for sparc64 support | 07:16 |
| darth | cedriczg, dont remember, but it prolly went smoothly with synaptic | 07:16 |

| cedriczg | darth, It seems there is no version for 64bits for java-plugin | 07:16 |
| darth | ....i was just curious, i have an old old sun ultra 10 somewhere | 07:17 |
| RAdams | pitsN: click a torrent link in your webbrowser | 07:17 |
| Panik | it says i need package gnet 1.1.8 or higher | 07:17 |
| Panik | how do i find this gnet | 07:17 |
| cedriczg | In fact people was preetty anoyed with Sun for this | 07:17 |
| darth | hmmmm | 07:17 |
| anirudh0 | cedriczg: what about openjdk? | 07:17 |
| pitsN | RAdams: what is a torrent link look like? http://..? can you give me a url to test ? | 07:17 |
| RAdams | darth: feast your eyes on this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/sparc64-installer | 07:17 |
| g1g4f3rz | hey ghindo,i found that site b4 but its for hardy,im looking for 7.10, | 07:17 |
| Kohlrak | out of curiosity, does anyone know if the "uselib" problem was ever fixed? | 07:18 |
| Starnestommy | Panik: install libgnet2.0-0 and libgnet2.0-dev. What do you need these things for? | 07:18 |
| Kartagis | hrm | 07:18 |
| cedriczg | anirudh0, I tried it without success with the particular page I tried | 07:18 |
| Panik | starnestommy i need it for some newsreader | 07:18 |
| sauvin | RAdams, you're batting a thousand. | 07:18 |
| darth | nice RAdams | 07:18 |
| Kartagis | was ubuntu hardy heron released on the same day as edubuntu 8.04? | 07:18 |
| cedriczg | anirudh0, I mean I tried the openjdk plugin | 07:18 |
| bobstro | g1g4f3rz: do you need acetoneiso explicitly, or just want to mount an iso image? | 07:19 |
| geehumshriber | can anyone tell me why i dont see restricted drivers manager in my config? | 07:19 |

| Starnestommy | seagull_man: the foemer | 07:19 |
| darth | just chat seagull_man | 07:19 |
| Starnestommy | *former | 07:19 |

| RAdams | geehumshriber: define "in your config" | 07:19 |
| seagull_man | ok | 07:19 |
| pitsN | RAdams: i hope above is a small file :) | 07:19 |
| darth | this is a # not a ## | 07:19 |
| Kohlrak | geehumshriber, sometimes it's just called "hardware drivers" | 07:19 |
| alan_m | seagull_man: if you want general chat, go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:19 |
| sauvin | seagull_man, it's a support channel if you're inclined to ask nicely and treat people with respect :) | 07:19 |
| geehumshriber | system -> administrator | 07:19 |
| RAdams | seagull_man: strictly the first | 07:19 |
| seagull_man | thanks lads | 07:20 |
| ghindo | g1g4f3rz: You'll have to compile from source, then. Download here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/acetoneiso2/acetoneiso2_2.0.2_source.tar.bz2?use_mirror=garr | 07:20 |
| geehumshriber | thanks Kohlrak | 07:20 |
| seagull_man | got about 5 answers | 07:20 |
| seagull_man | i'll ignore darths | 07:20 |
| Kartagis | does apt-get show package name show the latest on repos or on my system? | 07:20 |
| darth | lol | 07:20 |
| * sauvin waits for updates to happen before restarting the X server | 07:20 | |
| darth | that would be the sane thing to do yes, seagull_man | 07:20 |
| Arney | my this is one big channel | 07:20 |
| g1g4f3rz | all rite,yeah i figured,was trying to avoid it | 07:20 |

| g1g4f3rz | thNKS ANYWAY, LOL | 07:20 |
| sauvin | hee hee | 07:20 |
| bobstro | g1g4f3rz: might fuseiso do what you want? | 07:20 |
| cedriczg | didn't anyone of you have troubles to install the java plugin on 64bit distros? | 07:20 |
| Starnestommy | Kartagis: I think in the cached index of the repos | 07:21 |
| sauvin | RAdams, I don't understand, though. Everything was working beautifully when I shut down last night. | 07:21 |
| g1g4f3rz | WELL, IM JUST TRYING TO CONVERT A CDI to iso , i havent heard boutit | 07:21 |
| cedriczg | I mean. I think I can dowload the 32bit version from sun and do a force platform command line | 07:21 |
| pitsN | RAdams: ah. i found many bt links now :) | 07:21 |
| cedriczg | am I right? | 07:21 |
| Starnestommy | cedriczg: did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java ? | 07:21 |
| sauvin | What the frack is a CDI? | 07:21 |
| Kohlrak | anyone know if the uselib vulnerability was fixed so i know that by releasing an assembly program using sys_uselib that i'm not handing underpriviledged users a loaded gun? | 07:21 |
| Panik | is there a easy way to install the graphics driver for my ATI All In Wonder 9000 card | 07:21 |
| Panik | please somebody help me | 07:21 |
| Panik | I beg | 07:21 |
| Kartagis | Starnestommy: do I need to apt-get update first? | 07:21 |
| g1g4f3rz | is a differnt typeof image format | 07:21 |
| Starnestommy | Kartagis: maybe | 07:21 |
| bobstro | cedriczg: i don't recall any particular problems. | 07:22 |
| Starnestommy | Kartagis: it depends on if the repos were updated since the last update | 07:22 |
| * sauvin restarts X | 07:22 | |
| aubuntuguy | Hey a little off topic but does anyone have Shockwave running under wine? | 07:22 |
| RAdams | sauvin: that's because compositing and nvidia have a magical robo-sexual relationship, the likes of which... oh never mind, he left | 07:22 |
| cedriczg | Starnestommy, I checked on Sun site and there is no version for 64 bits. Thanks for the link. I'll see what I can find there | 07:22 |
| alan_m | !ati | Panik | 07:22 |
| ubottu | Panik: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:22 |
| Starnestommy | cedriczg: look under the sections for amd64 | 07:22 |
| Kohlrak | Panik, if it doesn't have a driver and it's over a year old, you have a problem. If it just came out, you just may have to wait till they make one. I heard, recently, that ATI is working on making their linux drivers a little better by making them open source (gasp) | 07:22 |
| RAdams | cedriczg: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810369 | 07:22 |
| alan_m | Panik: have you tried the steps mentioned in this page? | 07:22 |
| Kartagis | g1g4f3rz: sudo apt-get install cdi2iso | 07:23 |
| Panik | what page. | 07:23 |
| alan_m | the one ubottu gave to you | 07:23 |
| RAdams | !ati >> Panik | 07:23 |

| RAdams | sauvin: kde4 or 3.5-ish? | 07:24 |
| sauvin | 3.5.9, I believe. | 07:24 |

| RAdams | aubuntuguy: yes. it's fun! keep a soft wall handy | 07:25 |

| aubuntuguy | ;-) | 07:25 |
| RAdams | never touched wine-doors | 07:25 |
| aubuntuguy | wine-doors? | 07:26 |

| RAdams | sigma_: no faster at all. :) | 07:35 |
| sauvin | I never saw Windows before 3.0 live, and have never seen unresizable windows except for modal advisories. | 07:35 |
| RAdams | sauvin: windows as it was originally demo'd did not have resizable windows for most things. those that could resize weren't able to overlap anything else | 07:36 |
| darth | lol | 07:36 |
| nibblecat | can someone say something to me... i'm testing my irssi colours | 07:36 |
| darth | nibblecat, no | 07:36 |
| RAdams | shh nobody type anything | 07:36 |
| nibblecat | darth: thanks | 07:37 |
| darth | ;) | 07:37 |
| sauvin | RAdams, that wasn't true in 3.0 on upwards. I can't speak for Windows < 3.0. | 07:37 |
| cedriczg | RAdams, as far as I read till now it seems the best way is to install the 32bit sun-java-plugin version. Do I need to install a 32bit firefox as well instead of the actual 64bit installed by default? | 07:37 |
| mecha | whats the name of the bot channel? | 07:37 |
| aubuntuguy | I found an older version of Shockwave 10.2 to download and I installed it under wine. Ran my windows firefox and it works. I am playing a shockwave game under ubuntu. Cool oh. It is working ;-) | 07:37 |
| sigma_ | RAdams: but ubuntu has so many more devs, i just hate gnome personally. its so old - will someone ever update it | 07:37 |
| RAdams | aubuntuguy: nice | 07:37 |
| cedriczg | RAdams, and another question, how do I get the 32bit repositories on my synaptic? | 07:37 |
| alan_m | mecha: #ubuntu-bots | 07:38 |
| afallenhope | mecha: try #ubuntu-bots | 07:38 |
| mecha | ty | 07:38 |
| afallenhope | haha | 07:38 |
| afallenhope | np | 07:38 |
| RAdams | sigma_: the kubuntu team does not dev kde. | 07:38 |
| cedriczg | RAdams, I see you are busy with other matters | 07:38 |
| aubuntuguy | I think that is the problem adobes latest release of shockwave doesn't work under wine. But the older shockwave versions do | 07:38 |
| sigma_ | RAdams: Riddell does and a few other guys | 07:38 |
| mecha | does emeral themer still work with 8.04? | 07:38 |
| mecha | emerald* | 07:38 |
| K^Holtz | Can someone help me to get compiz working? If i try to enable it, it fails | 07:39 |
| zcat[1] | K^Holtz: what video card do you have? | 07:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | K^Holtz: sure your video card is compatible? | 07:39 |
| RAdams | cedriczg: there's a wrapper for it. I don't remember what it's called. Google around. something like 64 bit ubuntu java wrapper. it's been awhile, and also I'm tired and cranky now. bedtime! | 07:39 |
| redcap | can anyone let me know how I can specify the ">" character as a delimiter using cut? I've tried cut -d ">" and cut -d '>' and cut -d `>` with no success | 07:39 |
| aubuntuguy | take care all | 07:40 |
| mecha | K^Holtz, what video card u have and are the restricted drivers enabled? | 07:40 |
| K^Holtz | zcat[1]: can you tell me a command to check that? | 07:40 |
| RAdams | and sigma_: i just meant they're downstream from kde. I realize there are some people who are on both teams :) | 07:40 |
| sauvin | Redcap, have you tried backwhacking? \> | 07:40 |
| RAdams | night boys and girls. don't forget to RTFM! | 07:40 |
| cedriczg | RAdams, good night then. Thanks for your help | 07:40 |
| redcap | sauvin, yeah, that too, no dice | 07:40 |

| redcap | cat countrylistfrag.txt | cut -d\> - still doesn't like me unless I need to do something else there | 07:41 |
| zcat[1] | try -d\> rather than -d <space> \> | 07:41 |
| cedriczg | K^Holtz, did you go to system > preferences > appearence ? | 07:41 |
| K^Holtz | cedriczg: yea, thats where it fails | 07:41 |
| K^Holtz | i think my video card is:ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON™ 16 MB video DDR SDRAM | 07:41 |
| K^Holtz | there are not restricted drivers that come up for it | 07:41 |
| HardDisk | I see you finally installed ubuntu | 07:42 |
| cedriczg | K^Holtz, are you the only user on the system? | 07:42 |
| mecha | what themer works best in 8.04? | 07:42 |
| mecha | anyone | 07:42 |
| zcat[1] | redcap: you are telling it which part you want also? (-f1 or whatever) | 07:42 |
| HardDisk | mecha, themer? | 07:42 |
| HardDisk | mecha, check out gnome-look.org | 07:42 |
| K^Holtz | cedriczg: yes | 07:42 |
| mecha | HardDisk, i had emerald but when i upgraded to 8.04 it stopped working | 07:43 |
| redcap | zcat[1], sec, not sure what you mean (about to refer to the man page :) | 07:43 |
| HardDisk | mecha, it's just a setting issue, emerald wouldn't just stop working. | 07:43 |
| zcat[1] | redcap: -d is just the delimiter.. you also need to tell it what field eg -f1 everything before the first '>' | 07:44 |
| HardDisk | mecha, check your compiz settings and syntax. | 07:44 |
| mecha | HardDisk, ic | 07:44 |
| prodigel | hi all. I'm searching for a paneled file explorer with easy access to floppy and samba shares(needed for fast copying from one to another). Any suggestions appreciated | 07:44 |
| Ganandorf | hi guys is compiz fusion and beryl the same | 07:44 |
| Ganandorf | i am confused by what i see on youtube | 07:44 |
| HardDisk | Ganandorf there is no more beryl | 07:44 |
| redcap | zcat[1], that was it, needed -f2 | 07:44 |
| HardDisk | Ganandorf, compiz fusion is a combination of compiz and beryl | 07:44 |
| K^Holtz | cedriczg: should my video card be able to handle the animations? | 07:44 |

| afallenhope | how do I know which partition has the /home on it? | 07:45 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, still having issues installing ubuntu? | 07:45 |
| zcat[1] | Ganandorf: compiz came first .. some developers thought it wasn't exciting enough and started a fork called beryl.. later they merged all the work together and this is what we have now, called compiz-fusion | 07:45 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, sudo fdisk -l | 07:45 |
| afallenhope | I just did a default install.. I'm trying to put /home on a new parition. | 07:45 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: nah, got the install down, now its just all the getting everything working correctly, codecs and whatnot | 07:45 |

| seagull_man | can someone tell me how to download Transmission 1.2 if synaptic only offers me 1.06? | 07:46 |
| seagull_man | please | 07:46 |
| K^Holtz | I thought my laptop wold be able to handle compiz no problem, but its not enabling for me :( | 07:46 |
| Ganandorf | beryl looks pretty sleek on its own though | 07:46 |
| HardDisk | seagull_man, did you check the transmission website? | 07:46 |
| afallenhope | HardDisk: I know.. I'm following it.. | 07:46 |
| Ganandorf | i have compiz fusion but i don't know where to get instructions to use it | 07:46 |
| zcat[1] | Ganandorf: compiz-fusion has basically all the stuff that was in beryl .. | 07:47 |

| Ganandorf | found a site | 07:49 |
| K^Holtz | HardDisk: yea, ive actually gone through a couple of those already on my own | 07:49 |

| Ganandorf | found a site http://www.compiz-fusion.org/ | 07:49 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, self learning is always a good thing. | 07:49 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: Also, search for ubuntu guide | 07:49 |
| HardDisk | LSD|Ninja, no but mythbuntu is | 07:49 |
| K^Holtz | agreed, i used to use Red hat wayyy back in the day, and i never read so much in my life | 07:50 |
| cedriczg | K^Holtz, sorry didn't see your message before. You should check if you have the appropiate drivers for your card. what have you found do far? | 07:50 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: im very disappointed with ubuntuguide for this release, i dont feel like its put together very well | 07:50 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, don't forget RH is an enterprise distro, whereas even though there is an ubuntu server edition, mainly ubuntu is a desktop replacement..so requirements are different. | 07:50 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: Yeah, I feel they froze it like one or two months too early. | 07:50 |
| sauvin | RAdams went away/ | 07:50 |
| HardDisk | K^Holtz, because they already went through the ubuntuguide for gutsy. | 07:50 |
| K^Holtz | cedriczg: i thought that if there were any drivers for my video card they would show up in the Restricted Drivers dialogue? | 07:51 |
| DaveKong | is there a way to customize my gnome desktops so that I have different backgrounds on them different app menus etc say like a work desktop and a play one? | 07:51 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: I'm looking forward to 8.10, I think it'll be much better. | 07:51 |
| HardDisk | Dave123, you want different wallpapers on each workspace you mean? | 07:51 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: yea, i guess im not a fan of the LTS versions | 07:51 |

| HardDisk | ok I have to go to work, its 10am, see you later. | 07:53 |
| cedriczg | K^Howoltz, as far as I know sometimes you have to use some compatible driver you find that works well with some graphical video card. The other question is if you are sure your card would support such graphical effects compiz gives | 07:53 |
| Ketsueki | HardDisk: I wonder why ubuntuguide isn't part of !ubuntulinks | 07:53 |
| Ketsueki | !ubuntulinks | 07:53 |

| DaveKong | HardDisk: I missed dave123's comments but it seems I have a similar question and yes I would like to know how to do that | 07:53 |
| Flannel | Ketsueki: Because ubuntu guide has at times provided unsafe or bad information. | 07:53 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: should i download the envyNG package since System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers shows up nothing | 07:54 |
| HardDisk | sorry I must go to work. | 07:54 |
| HardDisk | have fun. | 07:54 |
| Ketsueki | Flannel: I've more often found Unsafe/Bad (outdated) info on ubuntu.com (usually in the community docs section, which is REALLY BAD about not slotting solutions to ubuntu versions) | 07:54 |
| K^Holtz | cedriczg: i guess im not postive my video card could handle the graphics | 07:55 |
| cedriczg | K^Holtz, then that might be the issue. Could you get the normal visual effects? | 07:56 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: You said it was a 7xxx series Nvidia, right? | 07:56 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: no, its an ATI.. let me see what i said | 07:57 |

| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: i said ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON™ 16 MB video DDR SDRAM | 07:57 |
| dasukips | Thanks. | 07:57 |
| cedriczg | dasukips, in ubuntu I just did applications > add/remove and looked for compiz | 07:58 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: Holy crap? Wow. Er, I'd not reccomend running compiz or anything like it on that. I must have been thining of someone else earlier. | 07:58 |
| cedriczg | K^Holtz, I mean under system > preferences > appearence > visual effects | 07:59 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: Be happy with 2d support, and that sounds like it might be old enough to be potentially better supported by the reverse-engineered drivers. | 07:59 |
| sauvin | K^Holtz, do an lspci | grep -i radeon and see if you can identify the graphics card from that output. | 07:59 |
| K^Holtz | Ketsueki: that may be wrong, this is a fairly new (4 yrs old) sony vaio laptop | 07:59 |
| Ketsueki | sauvin: If it's really the card K^Holtz just quoted a fwe lines ago to me... then it sounds too old to hope to support it. | 07:59 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: That probably IS wrong then. I don't think even a very crappy laptop form 4 years ago would have THAT little. | 08:00 |
| sauvin | Ketsueki, maybe, but we don't have an exact ID. | 08:00 |

| ubottu | Zeker: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:01 |
| crdlb | K^Holtz: that card has never been and will never be supported by the proprietary ATI driver | 08:01 |
| crdlb | K^Holtz: but it is fully supported by the driver that is included with ubuntu | 08:02 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: Then do, in my case, lspci -vn -s 02:00.0 | 08:02 |
| wols_ | crdlb: it was supported. once upon a time. now it's "radeon" only of course | 08:02 |
| Ketsueki | K^Holtz: That will give you the PCI ID major:minor numbers. | 08:02 |
| crdlb | wols_: nope, fglrx only ever supported r200 and up | 08:02 |
| dodok | dodok | 08:02 |
| crdlb | that's an r100 | 08:02 |
| K^Holtz | crdlb: so where does that leave me? | 08:03 |
| crdlb | (and now it's only supports r300 and up) | 08:03 |
| _Net | What does LD_LIBRARY_PATH do? | 08:03 |
| crdlb | K^Holtz: your problem is just that ubuntu has blacklisted compiz on all laptops using the radeon driver | 08:03 |
| crdlb | K^Holtz: bypassing the blacklist is easy, but please join #compiz-fusion for specifics | 08:03 |
| Ketsueki | crdlb: ick... K^Holtz You need to use the 'ati' driver IIRC, which will provide the best support it can... however from what the others have said the card is, I Seriously Doubt you'll have a quality experience with it. | 08:03 |
| K^Holtz | crdlb: im actually in there just trying to think what to ask | 08:03 |
| * sauvin bought this particular laptop for one of the major reasons of it having an nvidia | 08:04 | |

| Ganandorf | can ubuntu play wma music files if so what codecs is needed | 08:04 |
| _Net | Oh how can I make it look in this path: /home/<user>/Desktop/<folder>/bin because I have some .so I need it to read for me | 08:05 |
| StevenX | how do i know what version of screenlets ubuntu will install using apt-get? | 08:05 |
| _Net | Is there a ubuntu application that will allow me to put values to LD_Library_path | 08:06 |
| sauvin | Gananadorf, can you supply an example of wam music? | 08:06 |
| sauvin | wma, even? | 08:06 |
| Guest41844 | Ganandorf: I take it you are trying to play DRM-free wma's right? | 08:07 |
| dasukips | I installed Compiz on Xubuntu, but the settings manager appears to be empty. What's the problem? | 08:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | Guest41844: install ubuntu-restricted-extras, that should get you going | 08:08 |
| Ganandorf | not sure about the drm part but wma | 08:08 |
| Ganandorf | my music that i ripped using windows media player | 08:08 |
| wols_ | _Net: why do you need an app to set a environment variable? your keyboard broken? | 08:08 |
| Ketsueki | Ganandorf: DRMed WMA's, there is no help. Nothing can save you. Anything to unlock them does so inside of where-ever they already play to get the right tool for the job to unlock it, and provide you a version that is no longer locked, but some means (I've no idea on the specifics.) | 08:08 |
| Guest41844 | Ganandorf: see LSD|Ninja's response. | 08:08 |
| Ketsueki | Ganandorf: Such music MAY have been fingerprinted to that install of windows. You might need to re-rip, or unlock within that install of windows. | 08:09 |
| Guest41844 | You will not be able to play the music if you had the "protect music" option on. | 08:09 |
| _Net | wosl_: No, im trying to install byond, this MUD gaming thing and host it from my ubuntu | 08:09 |
| sauvin | Ganandorf, if you ripped it, you have it on your computer, yes? If you can bring it over to linux, you can use extract or other commands to find out what codecs the file might require. | 08:09 |
| Guest41844 | I always make sure I uncheck that. Otherwise, ripped music will not play on another computer. | 08:09 |
| Ganandorf | linux tells me there is no codec for that file format | 08:09 |
| _Net | wols_: In one of the instructions it says to make sure to tell your operating system to read lib files from /byond/bin/ | 08:09 |
| Guest41844 | Chances are that may be the issue you are having. | 08:09 |
| Guest41844 | Did you try to install the restricted extras? | 08:10 |
| YouBucky | HI I'm using the restricted ATI driver with a dual screen, how to I change my default monitor? | 08:10 |
| Ganandorf | yay those are installed already | 08:10 |
| wols_ | _Net: then set it | 08:10 |
| === max557 is now known as max` | ||
| philwyett | StevenX: Just use the switch -s with apt-get to simulate and not actually install. It will give you the app version in the output. | 08:10 |
| YouBucky | *"big desktop" | 08:10 |
| Guest41844 | If you can get back into Windows, right-click on a WMA file and check the protection tab. | 08:11 |
| _Net | wols_: I dont exactly know its command. I know it has something to do with LD_Library_path but how would I use it? | 08:11 |
| Ganandorf | Guest41844: what exactly do you have to uncheck when ripping music using windows media player so that it plays on another system i deleted a bunch of music cause they would not play | 08:11 |
| Guest41844 | I mean right-click, click on properties and check the protection tab. | 08:11 |
| Ganandorf | oo protection tab | 08:11 |
| Ganandorf | i see | 08:11 |
| Ganandorf | i deleted a bunch of stuff | 08:11 |
| wols_ | by maing sure the environment variable of that name is set before you launch the MUD client | 08:11 |

| Guest41844 | That's fine, because if you had that checked, all those files were useless anyway. | 08:14 |
| wols_ | Ganandorf: hope you learned never to use such proprietary formats again. next time use CDex or another LAME based mp3 encode | 08:14 |
| Guest41844 | Too bad you didn't know *before* you started ripping music. | 08:14 |
| sauvin | JbCrash, what are you looking for that the Adobe flash player won't do for you? | 08:14 |
| Ganandorf | but wma will not play on linux other wise | 08:14 |
| cedriczg | oops. Jus one question while updating the kernel. It got to a question on what to do and I choosed to run a terminal to examine the situation and now the installation process got hung up. What should I do from now on? Can I install it again from zero in an easy way? | 08:14 |
| dasukips | I've installed compiz, and enabled effects. They dont seem to be switched on though. What d I do? =/ | 08:14 |
| wols_ | Zeker: glxinfo | grep direct | 08:14 |
| Ganandorf | i did | 08:14 |
| Guest41844 | Let me check . . . | 08:15 |
| wols_ | cedriczg: yes | 08:15 |
| JbCrash | sauvin: not player..i need application to design develop flash movies.. like flash mx or swishmax | 08:15 |
| cedriczg | wols_, may I ask which is the better way to reinstall? | 08:15 |
| sauvin | JbCrash, I didn't understand that, and I apologise. | 08:15 |
| JbCrash | sauvin: ohh..chill bro | 08:16 |
| cedriczg | wols_, now I would even need to kill the update manager | 08:16 |
| Zeker | wols_: http://pastebin.com/d49d3479c | 08:16 |
| wols_ | cedriczg: since you didn't tell what the ways are, how can I say which one is better? | 08:16 |

| Ketsueki | Geeze, too many users when gan isn't unique... | 08:19 |
| dasukips | Haha | 08:19 |
| cedriczg | wols_, thank you | 08:19 |
| sauvin | Of all the things I've tried to play recently, the only things that've disappointed me on the debian machine are Blue Ray disc captures; they use a WMV codec that isn't available for linux yet. | 08:19 |
| Guest41844 | Thanks Ketsueki | 08:19 |
| Ketsueki | Guest41844: No problem... it was a good guess on my part | 08:19 |
| wols_ | cedriczg: you will have to remove the botched install or finish it with apt-get install -f first | 08:19 |
| Zeker | wols_: http://pastebin.com/d71274505 | 08:19 |
| Guest41844 | It's actually for Ganandorf. He is trying to play wma's on his install. | 08:20 |
| Guest41844 | Works in mine just fine. | 08:20 |
| wols_ | Zeker: what nvidia card? | 08:20 |
| RoadHazard | if I'm in #ubuntu and #windows, does that make me bi? | 08:20 |
| Bilge | How am I meant to remove a users' "primary group"? | 08:20 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: it seems that the edgy repos has been removed from the official and other mirror site | 08:20 |
| Zeker | wols_ it's a 9600 gt | 08:20 |
| wols_ | RoadHazard: do you have a ubuntu support related question? | 08:20 |
| Myrtti | !offtopic | RoadHazard | 08:20 |
| ubottu | RoadHazard: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:20 |
| juiceman | i'm on ubluntu! | 08:20 |
| RoadHazard | no, sorry, only answers tonight | 08:20 |
| cedriczg | wols_, I also had other packages being installed. How shoud I check for other botched installs? | 08:20 |
| Ketsueki | GTG | 08:20 |
| wols_ | Zeker: then your current driver is utterly wrong. 96.xx is too old while you had the newer one installed before | 08:20 |
| juiceman | OOHBLUNTOOH | 08:21 |
| wols_ | cedriczg: you don't need to | 08:21 |
| Zeker | wols_ oh crap! Is there a wy to revert? | 08:21 |
| jdrake | What command could be ran to tell the computer to go to sleep? (I want to use at to do this, so it needs to be an executable) | 08:21 |
| wols_ | Zeker: uninstall the current one and install the proper one | 08:21 |
| cedriczg | wols_, apt-get install -f command will just finish the installation? | 08:21 |
| wols_ | yes. usually | 08:21 |
| Zeker | wols_: do I use the add/remove programs to do that? | 08:22 |
| In-Sane`` | How do I update the flash plugin to a newest version, do I need to remove it and reinstall again? | 08:22 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: the day before, I wanna apt-get update the edgy, the 404 error returned to me | 08:22 |
| wols_ | In-Sane``: no | 08:22 |
| wols_ | nicle_yang: you cannot update edgy anymore since there are no more updates. ever | 08:22 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 08:23 |
| wols_ | nicle_yang: but the longer you wait, the more security holes there will be in edgy. so please upgrade to a supported ubuntu version (LTS maybe) | 08:23 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: No edgy can be found in the dists directory | 08:23 |
| In-Sane`` | wols_: hmmz, no? | 08:23 |
| wols_ | In-Sane``: easy to understand word "no", right? | 08:23 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: I am using the edgy server edition | 08:23 |
| Guest41844 | What is the best way to install compiz? Is it sudo apt-get install compiz? | 08:24 |
| In-Sane`` | wols_: no ;) | 08:24 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: and I am afraid the upgrading will crash my server | 08:24 |
| wols_ | nicle_yang: that's nice but irrelevant | 08:24 |
| nicle_yang | wols—— | 08:24 |
| wols_ | ESPECIALLY on a server you need to upgrade. cause when a script kiddie has hacked it you WILL upgrade it. just with more work involved for you | 08:24 |
| nicle_yang | wols_: my desktop has been the latest version :) | 08:25 |
| wols_ | nicle_yang: if you don't like what I say: solve your own problems. there are people who actually accept the help | 08:25 |
| wols_ | nicle_yang: please stop talking to me | 08:25 |
| gooody | how will i determine my kernel version? | 08:25 |

| gooody | how can i remove some entry in my grub boot loader? | 08:31 |
| nickrud | cedriczg you have two apt processes running, probably synaptic or update-manager open | 08:31 |
| Zeker | wols_: http://images.funadvice.com/photo/image/old/45730/WhosAwesome.jpg | 08:31 |
| cedriczg | wols_, how can I get all the pid that were using the update manager? I need to kill them so I can run the command you told me | 08:31 |
| sauvin | Kohlrak, I didn't see you saying what the .so is. | 08:31 |
| Zeker | it worked :) | 08:31 |
| nicle_yang | nickrud: that 's just what I need | 08:31 |

| cedriczg | nickrud, I got no process killed | 08:32 |
| nickrud | cedriczg so, that's not what was open. check for synaptic | 08:32 |
| cedriczg | nickrud, And I still can't run the sudo apt-get install -f command | 08:33 |
| YouBucky | Anyone able to help me rotate a display using ATI drivers? | 08:33 |
| gooody | wols_: can i uninstall it using synaptic package manager? what is it's package name? | 08:33 |

| Bilge | How do I install a missing locale? | 08:33 |
| nickrud | wols_ that's always the last resort ;) | 08:33 |
| wols_ | gooody: dpkg -l |grep linux-image | 08:33 |
| afallenhope | my fstab looks right... according to the manual | 08:33 |
| wols_ | Bilge: dpkg-reconfigure locales | 08:33 |
| nickrud | wols_ and killall causes update-manager to exit cleanly | 08:34 |
| Bilge | That just checks they're all up to date or something | 08:34 |
| sauvin | Kohlrak, looking.. | 08:34 |
| Bilge | It doesn't install anything | 08:34 |
| afallenhope | http://pastebin.com/d53b1bf that's my fstab | 08:34 |
| cedriczg | nickrud, thanks killing synaptics did the job. Strange that I had update manager open instead. | 08:34 |
| wols_ | nickrud: then obviosuly his lock problem doesn't exist. good for him | 08:34 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: I asked you something | 08:34 |
| Kohlrak | alright, i tried using idapro, but i coudln't find exactly what i was looking for in there | 08:34 |
| afallenhope | wols_: I ansswered you,. iit had to do with chmod | 08:34 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: why did you? to use IDA you better know assembly or that time is wasted | 08:35 |
| afallenhope | wols_: $HOME had to be chmod 644 or something remotely close | 08:35 |
| Kohlrak | I do know assembly.. It's why i need the source of teh .so (to find out how to use this one syscall) | 08:35 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: ls -al /home | 08:35 |
| afallenhope | wols_: I'm on my live CD now | 08:35 |
| sauvin | what's the syscall? | 08:36 |
| * sauvin can't find ld-linux source easily | 08:36 | |
| afallenhope | wols_: http://pastebin.com/d2cb88452 that's what I get | 08:36 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: dpkg -S <path to .so file> what does this say? | 08:36 |
| wols_ | sauvin: of course you can | 08:36 |
| cedriczg | afallenhope, $HOME is 755 in my system | 08:36 |
| sauvin | wols, you overestimate me. | 08:36 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: EXACT error please | 08:36 |
| Kohlrak | sauvin: sys_uselib... The call itself is straightforward, but i'm trying to figure out how to get a procedure from the library after it's loaded with the syscall | 08:37 |
| afallenhope | wols_: I have to reboot then hoooooooooooold on let me get a pen and paper. | 08:37 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: answer me | 08:37 |

| abdulla | hello everyone, when i open open office document tht was edited in with open office in windows it asks me to choose an encoding to make the document readable, what shold i do? | 08:38 |
| wols_ | Bilge: I TOLD YOU | 08:38 |
| Bilge | That doesn't DO anything | 08:38 |
| wols_ | Bilge: I even gave you teh exact command | 08:38 |
| Bilge | It just verifies all the EXISTING ones are up to dat | 08:38 |
| Kohlrak | wolse_, it says "libc6: /lib/ld-2.7.so" | 08:38 |
| wols_ | dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales | 08:38 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: so you know now it comes from the libc6 package. now you know what to get | 08:39 |
| abdulla | when i open open office document tht was edited in with open office in windows it asks me to choose an encoding to make the document readable, what shold i do? | 08:39 |
| Bilge | I don't know if it's a bug or what, but due to the errors of having a misconfigured (missing) locale, it is not doing anything constructive | 08:39 |
| sauvin | o.O | 08:39 |
| * Myrtti yawns, pokes wols_ | 08:39 | |
| wols_ | abdulla: make a backup of the file and try until you hit the proper enconding | 08:39 |
| cedriczg | One last general question before going to bed. Whys is it that when I upgrade the kernel, the previous kernels still remain. I don't remember that was the wasy when I had 7.10 | 08:40 |
| * wols_ scratches himself to get that tickling to stop | 08:40 | |
| HardDisk | abdulla, looks like a corrupt file, try to save it again. | 08:40 |
| Myrtti | cedriczg: it was that way | 08:40 |
| zetheroo | is there a way to send an Email from Thunderbird and conceal your Email address? | 08:40 |
| wols_ | cedriczg: it was. it's a security measure so that you can still boot in case the new kernel is bad | 08:40 |
| laeg | i have created a short script to run a program in a dedicated x server - could some one take a look at it and tweak it to work please? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19568/ | 08:40 |
| Kohlrak | wols_, then what do i get? I seach up libc6 in synaptics but sources isn't in there that i can see | 08:40 |
| wols_ | also depending WHAT you installed it might replace the old kernel of a similar version | 08:41 |
| blumm | does anybody know how i can setup my printer not to print on the side of a paper (lexmark z705) | 08:41 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: that's BS | 08:41 |
| Kohlrak | look yourself | 08:41 |
| abdulla | HardDisk, how do i save again | 08:41 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: man apt-get | 08:41 |
| stefano | hi everybody. I have to set-up a Xen system (in amd64 bit env) that will have a quite empty Dom-0 and four/five Dom-Us, with different oses. I'm uncertain if I should be using a Debian etch Dom-0 (with xen 3.0.3) or a Hardy one (with Xen 3.2.1). What do you suggest? | 08:41 |
| abdulla | HardDisk, i didnt understand | 08:41 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: if it weren't ther, Ubuntu would violate the GPL. in a BIG way | 08:41 |
| nickrud | cedriczg if you look in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove, you'll see why it's not removed | 08:41 |
| cedriczg | wols_, ok, so after it works how do I unsintall the previous kernel? I have by now almost four available | 08:41 |
| wols_ | stefano: you know in what channel you ask | 08:42 |
| HardDisk | abdulla, when you save just double check if you're saving as an odf file, then open it in openoffice in ubuntu it will open normally | 08:42 |
| Kohlrak | wols_, it's surely out there... Just not in synaptics XD | 08:42 |
| wols_ | cedriczg: if you want to, sure | 08:42 |
| HardDisk | abdulla, regardless of language. | 08:42 |
| cedriczg | nickrud, nice new learnt tip | 08:42 |
| wols_ | Kohlrak: you are mistaken again. tho synaptic could be a bad tool of course. entirely possible | 08:42 |
| nickrud | cedriczg that dir is good reading | 08:42 |
| abdulla | HardDisk, so i save the file as odf not .doc | 08:43 |
| stefano | wols_: they don't answer in #xen so I'm asking here. i've performed some tests with xen and hardy and it goes but xen-tools still have to be fixed to provide fully working Domu-s. The question is: is xen 3.2.1 and hardy reliable enough to be used in production? | 08:43 |
| Sid | My friend was asking if he should switch to Fedora 9 or wait for OpenSUSE 11 for his home computer, any suggestions? | 08:43 |
| HardDisk | abdulla, that's the format we should be using :) | 08:43 |
| prodigel | Hi all. Is it send mail from console using evolution client by specifying files to attach as parameters? Something similar to what nautilus does. | 08:43 |
| wols_ | stefano: I wouldn't base that decision what a few yahoos in #ubuntu told me. but that's just me | 08:43 |
| HardDisk | Sid, try them all | 08:43 |
| abdulla | HardDisk, this format will word on windows? | 08:43 |
| prodigel | *possible* | 08:43 |
| HardDisk | wols_, please be nicer. | 08:43 |
| cedriczg | nickrud, ok, so the most sensitive would be to edit the menu.lst and leave the kernel? What do you usuallly do after you are sure the actual kernel works? | 08:44 |
| stefano | wols_: sure I won't, but any good opinion is always appreciated :-) | 08:44 |
| nickrud | cedriczg I fire up synaptic and remove all but the last two kernels | 08:44 |
| HardDisk | abdulla, use odf, that's the standard for openoffice. | 08:44 |
| gooody | is it safe to remove kernels from synaptic? | 08:44 |
| HardDisk | gooody, old ones yes. | 08:44 |
| abdulla | HardDisk, but i want to open it on windows | 08:44 |
| Sid | HardDisk: What if he was stuck on an island with only one writable CD and both the ISOs? | 08:44 |
| nickrud | gooody absolutely. Just keep the last two | 08:44 |

| Myrtti | hi linny | 09:43 |
| Parker1 | Does anyone know how to perform a Distrobution Upgrade from the Terminal? | 09:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Myrtti: then put the right syntax instead of just "wrong" | 09:45 |
| spaisezro | lol | 09:45 |

| _empemp_ | my ubuntu 8.04 freezed when i try to copy some files from it through samba | 09:48 |
| Myrtti | ActionParsnip, Parker1: the correct method for updating from the commandline depends on which version of ubuntu you are on. for example, the correct method for upgrading to hardy from gutsy is "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core | 09:48 |
| _empemp_ | is this a known issue? | 09:48 |
| Myrtti | ActionParsnip, Parker1: and then "sudo do-release-upgrade | 09:48 |
| spaisezro | k i found it | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | _empemp_: you got the latest updates? | 09:49 |
| spaisezro | Myrtti, do you have that command to copy it over? | 09:49 |
| _empemp_ | ActionParsnip: Yes | 09:49 |
| perlmonkey | hi guys.. I'm having a strange problem again whereby my Firefox browser crashes a lot (shuts down) just from clicking on certain links on websites! I think it's possibly flash related, as it happens on flash enabled websites. I recently did an upgrade and also install some flash plugin support (using ubuntu packages). any suggestions? | 09:49 |
| Parker1 | Mrrtti: I am upgrading from Dapper actually and I already have the update manager core | 09:49 |
| Myrtti | spaisezro: which command | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | _empemp_: im not too good with samba as I run a 100% linux network | 09:50 |
| os2mac | perlmonkey: have you disabled all addons and tried again? | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | _empemp_: im sure someone else will be able toadvise though | 09:50 |
| Myrtti | Parker1: check that you've got dapper-updates -repository enabled first | 09:50 |
| spaisezro | Myrtti, to copy my .conkyrc to cd ~/; ls-a | 09:50 |
| Parker1 | I've got them all enababled | 09:50 |
| Myrtti | spaisezro: no? | 09:50 |
| Parker1 | Else I would have already gotten error considering the installer in running right now | 09:51 |

| perlmonkey | os2mac: I have solved it.. removing the nonfree flash player and also flash lib and swf player packages seems to have solved it | 09:54 |
| perlmonkey | i hate flash!!!!!! | 09:55 |
| ari_stress | ActionParsnip: should we create it by email account or by local folder? | 09:55 |
| perlmonkey | and all sites who use it, sux | 09:55 |
| os2mac | perlmonkey: glad I couldn't help :) | 09:55 |
| beyta | Flannel: what do u mean? I just want to update via terminal.. | 09:55 |
| perlmonkey | thanks | 09:55 |
| Flannel | beyta: "update" could mean a number of things. I'm just going to presume to know what you want: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:55 |

| gordonjcp | is anyone else here using Hardy on a Thinkpad R50e or similar, and having problems with the screen being unreadably dim on battery? | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_boo: xubuntu uses xfce as its window manager, Ubuntu uses gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: http://www.nabble.com/Disable-dim-on-battery-LCD-brightness-td14803429.html | 10:29 |

| abdulla | does anyone know where i can find wine files? :S | 10:32 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: since xubuntu uses ext3 then i suppose it would be possible to reduce the partition size if not all space is used | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Wallgod: try in ~/.bashrc | 10:32 |
| tech0007 | abdulla: dpkg -L wine | 10:32 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: is that correct? | 10:33 |
| abdulla | tech0007, do u know how i can display them in a graphical way | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_boo: parted can resize partitions, just make sure you backup first. Ive not done it myself as I plan my partitions before comitting them to the drive | 10:33 |
| tech0007 | abdulla: which files by the way? the one from the package or your home wine directory? | 10:34 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: many thanks | 10:34 |

| erik__ | zvacet I already have both installed | 10:48 |
| CBro2007 | Is there a way you could suggest then? | 10:48 |
| NewfieLinux | So I dont know what drivers I need | 10:48 |
| remoteCTRL | does anyon know if vnc also transports sound? | 10:48 |
| zvacet | erik__ : so what is the problem | 10:48 |
| bigdaddy0522 | anyone have experience making bootable usb drives? | 10:48 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: google for linux on a pendrive | 10:48 |
| bigdaddy0522 | i have | 10:49 |
| erik__ | zvacet my problem is that when I load windows from GRUB, and then restart to get back to linux, GRUB doesn't start. | 10:49 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: whuts da prob? | 10:49 |
| bigdaddy0522 | and it doesnt work that well for me remote. | 10:49 |
| afallenhope | how do you set the permissions back to default? | 10:49 |
| erik__ | and I end up having to load from the live cd and use gparted to reset the linux partition to boot | 10:49 |
| gooody | tech0007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19594/ | 10:49 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remote i did the DSL distro did it just as they typed and my laptop wouldnt recognize it... turned on boot to removable media and evertyhing. | 10:49 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: what ya mean by remote? pluging in a pendrive remote is always a problem, yeah... | 10:49 |
| chori | anyone good at getting dual screen setups using ati radeon card? I've read tutorial after tutorial but just can't get it to work | 10:50 |
| remoteCTRL | ah rofl kk | 10:50 |
| erik__ | it just automatically boots windows | 10:50 |
| zvacet | erik__ . but if you try to boot ubuntu first is everything O.K | 10:50 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remotectrl... i was shorthanding your name thts all | 10:50 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: you need to have boot from usb explicitly in the bios | 10:50 |
| zvacet | NewfieLinux :http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing | 10:50 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: yeah i misunderstood hehehehe | 10:50 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remotectrl yeah i dont think my laptop has that.. i looked. | 10:50 |
| erik__ | Yeah, pretty much. When I boot into ubuntu I'm fine if I reboot GRUB pops up and asks what to boot. | 10:50 |
| tech0007 | gooody: did u hit play before u paste it? | 10:51 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: in that case booting from a pendrive will of course not work that well... | 10:51 |
| gooody | tech0007: no. | 10:51 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remoteCTRL i looked under removable media and HD | 10:51 |
| erik__ | If it helps I installed XP after installing ubuntu | 10:51 |
| erik__ | which I now know I did backwards | 10:51 |
| tech0007 | gooody: hit play and repaste...did u see any errors? | 10:51 |
| bigdaddy0522 | poop ill just have to buy some CD's tomorrow.. i didnt wanna spend money lol | 10:51 |
| bigdaddy0522 | thanks guys | 10:51 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: a pendrive is not precisely a remogvable media that is more like cd, dvd and so on... | 10:51 |
| afallenhope | Does anyoone know how to get my permissions back to normal (default)? | 10:52 |
| remoteCTRL | does anyone know if vnc transports sound? | 10:52 |
| zvacet | erik__ : I mean if you select ubuntu from grub can you boot ubuntu without live cd | 10:52 |
| erik__ | yes | 10:52 |
| Ward1983_ | how can i download a complete (small) website? | 10:52 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remoteCTRL yeah i know i was just hoping for the best...but was prepared for the worst...do you know anything about knoppix, right nwo im using hardy ub. | 10:52 |
| BeBoBli | "sudo chown bebobli /media/disk/" I didn't do this right I'm sure | 10:52 |
| hp | i have a 64-bit processor, would hardy run faster if i install the 64 bit version? | 10:53 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remoteCTRL are they similar at all being as they both debian? | 10:53 |
| Ketsueki | remoteCTRL: VNC will not transfer sound. You'll need something else to do that. What was it... NAS or something? | 10:53 |
| gooody | tech0007: the playlist is empty. | 10:53 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: not much, only that it works quite well, and btw you can of course use a ubuntu cd as live cd also if you dindt download the alternate cd... | 10:53 |
| thahacker07 | hi i have a little question for anyone | 10:53 |
| Ketsueki | remoteCTRL: VNC is purely, and simply, about transfering the video and 'standard controls' (mouse/keyboard) | 10:53 |
| zvacet | erik__ : so problem is when you boot win and after that you want to boot ubuntu (after restart) | 10:53 |
| remoteCTRL | Ketsueki: is that an alternative product to vnc or is that an "addon"? | 10:54 |
| erik__ | if I knew more on how to use VMware, I'd just use gparted to kill the xp part and work from there, but I haven't been able to find any tutorials on that that I can understand | 10:54 |
| thahacker07 | i just installed ubuntu gutsy and i have tried to update the java platform but isn working | 10:54 |
| tech0007 | BeBoBli: 'sudo chown -hR bebobli.users /media/disk' | 10:54 |
| tech0007 | gooody: select a song and hit play again | 10:54 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: yeah surely similar | 10:54 |
| BeBoBli | Thank you very much | 10:54 |
| erik__ | zvacet yep, when I boot windows it messes up grub somehow | 10:54 |
| BeBoBli | I didn't know it was implied I was a part of a group... | 10:54 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remoteCTRL my laptop is fecal matter!!! hp nx9010 wont load ubuntu from cd..locks up after about 2 mins of cd spin then ...nothing. itll load fedora but fed dont have drivers for the propriatary wireless nic | 10:54 |
| gooody | tech0007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19596/ | 10:54 |
| Ketsueki | remoteCTRL: Nothing that I am aware of that specificaly targets integration with VNC, but you might be able to setup scripts that establish parallel connection of another service to add the other parts in the background. However I have no idea how to do that. | 10:55 |
| bigdaddy0522 | remoteCTRL and the bios wont let me boot from flash...wow this sucks cuz im out of cd's | 10:55 |
| Ketsueki | bigdaddy0522: when the CD boots activate the check CD thing... I'm not sure what it's called EXACTLY, but just see if it can verify the disk. | 10:55 |
| erik__ | bigdaddy0522 are you using wireless or wired nic? | 10:55 |
| zvacet | erik__ : can you sudo fdisk -lu and gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and paste it | 10:55 |
| CaT_MaNZz | hello, i have problem with my sound. When i plug my headphones in to my laptop the sound does not stop | 10:55 |

| remoteCTRL | Ketsueki: ok in that case thanx alot and in case you are generally interested in remote desktops i can also strongly recommend nx from www.nomachine.com (also free and very powerful) | 10:56 |
| Ketsueki | remoteCTRL: http://www.google.com/search?q=vnc+sound << Start there, that might give you more useful info | 10:56 |
| CaT_MaNZz | i hear sound in my phones and on my laptop speakers | 10:56 |
| tech0007 | gooody: do u see a speaker icon on the panel (jst to check ur soudncard) | 10:56 |
| remoteCTRL | Ketsueki: nice one, thanks man | 10:57 |
| Jahid_ | thahacker07: how did you install java? | 10:57 |
| erik__ | bigdaddy0522 I also have a hp, and my wireless didn't work either. can you get wired to see if the wired connection will work?? if so I know how you can fix the wireless | 10:57 |
| thahacker07 | jahid: i just tried to update it with package manager | 10:57 |
| remoteCTRL | bigdaddy0522: ya sorry man in that case i am outta ideas also :D | 10:57 |

| Jahid_ | msnbot: yeah i am just initializing that to run. but why xmms doesnt work? i am sort of fan of winamp, so i liked xmms | 11:07 |
| tech0007 | afallenhope: 'sudo chown -hR ........' | 11:07 |
| erik__ | bigdaddy0522 You will need to get the computer on the net somehow though. Best bet is to make sure the wired connection will work | 11:07 |

| tech0007 | afallenhope: ok, ur trying to change ownership of .gvfs? i dont think u can. | 11:09 |
| bazhang | !xmms | Jahid_ | 11:09 |
| theFATMAN | Jayzee, i dont use kde | 11:09 |
| ubottu | Jahid_: For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. | 11:09 |
| askvictor | Inki: ktorrent is also good; has most of the features of azureus but without java so it's faster, but it requires kde libs and can get slow over time... | 11:09 |
| remoteCTRL | Ketsueki: server even works for mac | 11:09 |
| LordAnubis | can any one help me? | 11:09 |

| bazhang | !ask | LordAnubis | 11:09 |
| ubottu | LordAnubis: 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. :-) | 11:09 |

| afallenhope | oh I get this anytime I use the run command: http://pastebin.com/d409a6476 | 11:10 |
| Ketsueki | !sudo | LordAnubis | 11:11 |
| ubottu | LordAnubis: 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) | 11:11 |
| msnbot | Jahid_: you didn't get me. if you run it from console. you'll see the error. then you can fix it. In GUI errors are suppressed normally. | 11:11 |
| bazhang | LordAnubis, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:11 |
| Jahid_ | msnbot: ohh ok | 11:11 |
| LordAnubis | thanks | 11:11 |
| gribouille | hi. is the kernel 2.6.25 available ? | 11:11 |
| bazhang | gribouille, no | 11:11 |
| askvictor | whats the difference between gksu and gksudo? | 11:11 |
| cross-seven | ketsueki: i had installed oralce on my 8.04 when configure ,i can't open 127.0.0.1 by my firefox,my english is not good ,excues me | 11:11 |

| tech0007 | afallenhope: which run command? | 11:11 |
| gribouille | is the kernel 2.6.25 available ? | 11:11 |
| Ketsueki | gribouille: I believe they back-port the patches, but do not back-port additional functionality... | 11:12 |
| Ketsueki | !kernel | 11:12 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 11:12 |

| u007 | hi, anyone know how to spawn a independant process, not child process like & | 11:12 |
| afallenhope | tech0007: any of them... after I hit ENTER | 11:12 |
| Spaisezor | hi, anyone know the best IM client for ubuntu? | 11:12 |
| lejon | askvictor, gksudo is a graphical "temporarily give root power" command while gksu is a command that helps you graphically log in as another user | 11:12 |
| afallenhope | the details: http://pastebin.com/d329c3292 | 11:13 |
| lejon | Spaisezor, Everything depends on what you prefer, I myself have come to like pidgin | 11:13 |
| askvictor | lejon: but given there is no root password, how does gksu elevate your privs? | 11:13 |
| askvictor | gribouille: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive | 11:13 |
| Spaisezor | lejon, yeah ive been using pidgin but its starting to bore me, i was just wandering what the other clients are like | 11:13 |
| lejon | askvictor, gksu doesn't elevate ur privs unless the user you log in too has higher privs than urself, sudo gives you temporarily root powers and not make you another user | 11:13 |
| afallenhope | tech0007: details are: http://pastebin.com/d329c3292 | 11:13 |
| deltaslaya | How do I remove the old Ubuntu versions from the bootup menu? | 11:14 |
| wild_oscar | has anyone ever noticed grey bars on quicktime videos on firefox? | 11:14 |

| wild_oscar | there's an image of the issue here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820861 | 11:14 |
| Spaisezor | lejon, thankyou i will give that a go now | 11:14 |
| Spaisezor | lejon, ahh is it only KDE? | 11:14 |
| lejon | deltaslaya, in /etc/grub/menu.lst (think it was there) comment out the old kernel by putting # infront of the lines | 11:14 |
| gribouille | askvictor, does 2.6.26-1.2ubuntu2 work well ? | 11:15 |
| lejon | Spaisezor, I haven't checked :P but its in the official repos :P | 11:15 |
| askvictor | lejon: I think gksu uses sudo if you don't specify a username... | 11:15 |
| askvictor | gribouille: Dunno, haven't been game to try it yet :) | 11:15 |
| m1r | hello | 11:15 |
| Spaisezor | lejon, ok cool ill see if i can find it | 11:15 |
| gribouille | askvictor, I need the kernel for hardu | 11:15 |
| gribouille | askvictor, I need the kernel for hardy | 11:15 |

| Ketsueki | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5583/ << 2.6.25 proposal | 11:15 |
| lejon | askvictor, I have no idea if gksu uses sudo if not name specified, but I know that su is used to log in as another user, usually the super-user(root) while sudo just temporarily gives you the oppertunity to execute a command as root | 11:15 |
| askvictor | gribouille: That what that repo does (https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive in case you missed it while you left the room) | 11:16 |
| tech0007 | afallenhope: yup...'gconf-editor' | 11:16 |
| Spaisezor | lejon, its available on KDE and gnome, so thats cool :D cheers for your help | 11:16 |
| lejon | Spaisezor, No problem, glad I could help :P | 11:16 |
| deltaslaya | lejon: Thanks a lot, I'll try that now. | 11:16 |
| gribouille | askvictor, sorry, I had a problem with my connection | 11:16 |
| lejon | deltaslaya, Be careful with menu.lst file and do not remove anything you dont know what it does, otherwise you might get problems booting again :P | 11:16 |
| JannoTT | how to open compiz fusion icon? My mem is so little i forget everything in three minutes | 11:17 |
| SaadSaeed | where do i set settings for aggressive notification | 11:17 |
| askvictor | lejon: Yeah, knew that bit, but was curious why people were advocating gksu when su is more or less deprecated in favour of sudo... | 11:17 |
| lejon | JannoTT, either start it from the application menu (it will pop into the tray) or use the terminal, but I've forgotten the terminal command for the fusion icon | 11:17 |
| afallenhope | tech0007: how do I fix that? | 11:17 |
| gribouille | askvictor, why does it say that linux - 2.6.26-1.2ubuntu2 is for Intrepid ? | 11:17 |
| deltaslaya | lejon: I don't have a grub folder? It's called grub.d | 11:18 |
| JannoTT | oh. Thanks. | 11:18 |
| lejon | askvictor, I have no idea why people like gksu, its just graphical su and actually logs you in as root, not just temporarily like sudo does | 11:18 |
| JannoTT | And there it is under system tools | 11:18 |
| lejon | deltaslaya, try "whereis menu.lst" then | 11:18 |
| tech0007 | afallenhope: can u check if ~/.gconf/app/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/history-gnome-run exists? | 11:18 |
| lejon | deltaslaya, without the qoutes ofc, but that should tell you where it is | 11:18 |
| JannoTT | lejon: Anyway to make it pop up on system start? | 11:19 |
| afallenhope | tech0007: I just got: http://pastebin.com/d7ab87361 | 11:19 |

| koshari | Inki transmission] | 11:19 |
| askvictor | gribouille: You can change the source.list to hardy instead, but the binaries seem to have disappeared (and it was still on 2.6.25 last time I looked - synaptic might be able to dig out older versions tho) | 11:19 |
| lejon | JannoTT, you have to find the terminal command for it and specify it in sessions as a startup service | 11:19 |
| skurakai | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19608/ please how can i fix this | 11:20 |
| lejon | deltaslaya, Yeah I tested myself, brb and ill try to find mine ;) | 11:20 |
| JannoTT | okei | 11:20 |
| askvictor | gribouille: Nope, seems only the sources for 2.6.26 are there :( | 11:20 |

| alcor | Pici, | 12:54 |
| stabbyjoe12 | how hard s it to make a partition in ubntu | 12:54 |
| stabbyjoe12 | ubuntu* | 12:54 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: one sec | 12:54 |
| LimCore | stabbyjoe12: very easy; programs like cfdisk (console, as root) or gparted (gui) | 12:55 |
| anirudh0 | stabbyjoe12: very hard or very easy, depending on your level of knowledge ;) | 12:55 |
| LimCore | stabbyjoe12: creating new partition is easy.. splitting existing and used partition into smaller one is hard on the other hand | 12:55 |
| lejon | Sarutobi`, I would recommend looking at Xubuntu seeing as ive heard its desktop manager is lighter on the RAM and faster on older computers | 12:55 |
| alcor | Pici, i can't install nautilus-open-terminal in 804 | 12:55 |
| koshari | stabbyjoe12 very easy to ake a partition using gparted | 12:55 |
| stabbyjoe12 | well i know a hellof alo about it im just new to linux so is there a inbuilttol | 12:55 |
| LimCore | Sarutobi`: or you could just install regular ubuntu, and then use icewm or simmilar as desktop manager | 12:55 |
| stabbyjoe12 | gparted is a boot though isnt it? | 12:56 |
| LimCore | stabbyjoe12: hmm no, its a gui program | 12:56 |
| Pici | alcor: Why not? | 12:56 |
| Sarutobi` | What does icewm do? | 12:56 |
| lejon | Sarutobi`, and all wifi cards can be used in ubuntu, it might just require some time and effort put into it to get it to work tho :P | 12:56 |
| Sarutobi` | Nice | 12:56 |
| LimCore | Sarutobi`: its desktop manager like GNOME or KDE, but much faster/smaller | 12:56 |
| alcor | i don't know | 12:56 |
| koshari | Sarutobi your wifi ia Broadcom 4306 so all bets are off, broadcom seem to place more emphisis in there CEO having orgies than getting there radios to work in linux | 12:57 |
| Sarutobi` | Can most sound problems be rectified easily? | 12:57 |
| Sarutobi` | So, chances are it won't work? | 12:57 |
| stabbyjoe12 | i thinkyoul find gparted is pridominantly used as a live cd:) | 12:57 |
| alcor | Pici, i don't know | 12:57 |
| vy | Neither "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", nor "Xorg -configure" helped to wake X up for ATI ES1000 (rev 02) graphics card. "X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf" executes without a problem, while trying to open X, screen turns to black and monitor light switches to yellow from green. Any ideas? (BTW, no error appears in the "X" command output.) | 12:58 |
| koshari | stabbyjoe12 gparted is preinstalled on the vanilla disc | 12:58 |
| anirudh0 | alcor: post the apt error | 12:58 |
| stabbyjoe12 | is gparted gui on ubuntu or do i intallit | 12:58 |
| enaner | how do i get the 3d desktop stuff | 12:59 |

| koshari | AdvoWork sudo apt-get install pg then tab to complete it, it will auto fill if it exists in your enabled repositorys | 13:00 |
| koshari | enaner: you will need to install the restricted nvid drivers then | 13:00 |
| marko__ | why isn't there firefox in fluxbox menu? :/ | 13:00 |
| ppp | Basically I just want to allow tcp port 9000 from 192.168.10.3 only in UFW :) | 13:00 |
| enaner | koshari i didi that already | 13:01 |
| Odd-rationale | camason: right-click the menu bar, and select "Edit Menu" then go to the menu item and delete. | 13:01 |
| lejon | camason, thru the menu editor in system>preferences>menu editor | 13:01 |

| camason | lejon, uh oh, i just deleted it | 13:03 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: found it | 13:04 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: /etc/xdg/autostart | 13:04 |

| enaner | can i get the command to install compiz | 13:05 |
| alcor | Pici, help | 13:05 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: it contains a bunch of .desktop files..delete the ones you dont need | 13:05 |
| koshari | enaner: compiz is installed by default | 13:05 |
| enaner | koshari where do i play with the settings then | 13:06 |
| lejon | camason, Try to go to their homepage and see if you find anything in their faqs or forums, I haven't put a effort in to really looking on how to get it back but it should be somewhere there | 13:06 |
| filthpig | hi, can someone tell me why Opera webbrowser is dropped from the hardy repos? | 13:06 |
| drollo | anirudh0: ive done a search on google, is it possible there is an issue with my fstab file? i do get a message when i try and log on saying that config files wont be saved? | 13:06 |

| lejon | camason Sweet ^^ :P | 13:07 |
| enaner | koshari: yes thats wat i wanna do | 13:07 |
| ppp | !opera | 13:07 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 13:07 |
| lejon | Thanks camason, ill re enable it and see what happens :P | 13:07 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: you need to set permission on ~/.dmrc | 13:07 |
| camason | lejon, although I'm back to square 1 now... I have some old programs from a previous WINE install that I want to remove from the menu... right click -> delete doesn't work | 13:07 |
| koshari | enaner then you will need to install the advanced desktop effects | 13:08 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: 644 on ~/.dmrc and 700 on ~/..use chmod to do this | 13:08 |
| enaner | koshari: yes how do i do that is what im asking | 13:08 |
| anirudh0 | drollo: or you could do via gui in nautilus | 13:08 |
| lejon | camason If they are installed with wine you have to remove them with the wine uninstaller (typ "wine uninstaller" in terminal) | 13:08 |
| kraft__ | how do you determine what bootloader is being used on a box without rebooting? | 13:08 |
| lejon | or maybe uninstaller alone works? one of em :P | 13:08 |
| drollo | anirudh0: okay ill give it a shot, thanks for your support :D | 13:09 |
| enaner | how do i enable compiz????? | 13:09 |
| camason | lejon, they're not any more... i removed wine, then rm -rf my .wine folder | 13:09 |

| lejon | camason then they shouldn't be there anymore either :P | 13:09 |

| v0lksman | logixoul: isn't it linux-i386? not just 386 | 13:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DanielRM see also aptoncd if you want to create an archive you can use on other computers | 13:24 |
| remoteCTRL | DanielRM: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 13:24 |
| DanielRM | Jack_Sparrow: I thought it did. Any way I can cleanly remove the cache and/or prevent it from growing? | 13:24 |
| koshari | DanielRM apt clean | 13:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DanielRM I would suggest you burn it to a cd so you dont hit the servers if you need something again, or create an aptoncd | 13:25 |
| remoteCTRL | DanielRM: apt-get autoclean or autoremove | 13:25 |
| koshari | DanielRM as for preventing it growing stop installing packages :-) | 13:25 |

| jlb | Hi, I am rather new to Ubuntu. CAn anybody tell me where I can find the name and version number of the ubuntu version I'm running | 13:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seagull_man repos have tested and known working versions. If you must have the latest.. it is up to you | 13:26 |
| DanielRM | Jack_Sparrow: I was going to create a repo CD anyway. | 13:26 |
| DanielRM | remoteCTRL: thanks. :) | 13:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jlb lsb_release -a | 13:26 |
| logixoul | v0lksman: no, it's really linux-386 | 13:26 |
| koshari | DanielRM the sparrows advice refering to aptoncd is good, or you can make a personal repositort, | 13:26 |
| enaner | i have a Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with speedbooster from linksys... how do i get it to work? | 13:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptoncd | 13:26 |

| Parker1 | Can anyone help me! I have a HUGE problem | 13:27 |
| logixoul | joaopinto: Hm, the CD asked me where to run the shell, and I said the installed system, and /home/logixoul exists here, so yes, I believe I'm chrooted into the right place | 13:27 |
| Parker1 | I am trying to Configure Xorg and it doesn't work. | 13:27 |

| Jack_Sparrow | DanielRM great | 13:27 |
| Parker1 | rather this command doesn't work sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:27 |
| jlb | Thanks a lot. I couldn't find it. I am currently running 6.06. Is there a possibility to upgrade it to 8 or do I have to clear everything and install the new version from scrap? | 13:27 |
| enaner | i have a Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with speedbooster from linksys... how do i get it to work? | 13:27 |
| DanielRM | Bye. | 13:28 |
| joaopinto | ok, logixoul just: apt-cache cache search linux- , I believe you want the generic kernel, the cpu specific optiomzations are setup at runtime | 13:28 |

| Parker1 | Come on guys I am going to kill myself | 13:29 |
| Parker1 | lol, this is driving me crazy | 13:29 |
| joaopinto | filthpig, opera was never on the main repos, it was a partner repos, I am not sure most of the apps were updated for hardy | 13:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Parker1 We saw your question, please have a little patience... | 13:29 |
| lejon | Sarutobi`, there is a howto somewhere on the forums, check there, apparently broadcom is a pain but you can make it work | 13:30 |
| jlb | Jack_Sparrow: I don't understand. How do i go from lts to lts?? | 13:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sarutobi` Some of those work with no effort, some are a pain... | 13:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jlb Read the link I gave for upgrading | 13:30 |
| nbhbbv | is there a manual wine package that includes all needed support libraries, i need offline installer AND without repo | 13:30 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Sarutobi` hold on | 13:31 |
| Parker1 | Well i think I might be able to solve the problem, However. When I run the Xorg Config. it only configures the Input devices | 13:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !bcm43 | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Factoid bcm43 not found | 13:31 |
| Parker1 | Nothing about the Video Devices | 13:31 |
| Parker1 | I think I might just change the setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 13:31 |
| Parker1 | but it's really a problem is the Config thingy doesn't work. | 13:31 |
| jlb | Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, but I didn't see a link. I sam you writing !upgrade. Is the the command (as root?) | 13:32 |

| Ketsueki | Ollie: Do you have anything you want to keep in firefox 3? | 13:36 |
| Ollie | no | 13:36 |
| dmacnutt | ollie: make sure every instance of firefox has been killed | 13:36 |

| rajkalyan | yes | 13:37 |
| rajkalyan | it doesn't ask me for root password | 13:38 |

| nbhbbv | hello i have huge problem where i can find mplayer package that runs without install like dropping video file to executable | 13:38 |
| rajkalyan | how do i change the window manager from there | 13:38 |
| rajkalyan | can i change it to kde? | 13:38 |
| Ketsueki | rajkalyan: I suggest apt-get install kubuntu-desktop << which if it works, would prompt you to remove the ubuntu-desktop one... and hopefully that will do everything. However I'm sure there's a better guide someplace. | 13:40 |
| Ketsueki | !kubuntu | 13:40 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 13:40 |
| rajkalyan | can i change the window manager to kde from terminal | 13:40 |
| Ketsueki | !KDE | 13:40 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information.

| skoenman | in booting in at the moment with normal boot after it has been loaded.....didnt want to boot in normal...said something about some error on fd but went in in safe mode | 14:11 |
| daurnimator | ie: now I'm running at low speed | 14:11 |
| skoenman | yeah tried prefs but only 640X480 | 14:11 |

| chamuscas | can somebody help with some doubts that i have? | 14:47 |
| ikonia | anirudh0: no, but ubuntu does care about he kernel version | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ricoza that should have picked it up on reboot, unless there is a lock on the drive from an improper dismount in windows | 14:47 |
| anirudh0 | sorry..last post to khajavi | 14:47 |
| DIFH-iceroot | enaner: apt-get install wine | 14:47 |
| DIFH-iceroot | enaner: sudo apt-get install wine | 14:48 |
| anirudh0 | ricoza: is the drive ntfs..does mount in terminal give a warning? | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chamuscas Please ask your ubuntu support related question and we will do our best to answer | 14:48 |
| khajavi | anirudh0: thank, let me go to synaptic | 14:48 |
| ikonia | khajavi: you won't be able to install through synaptic | 14:48 |
| khajavi | ikonia: I have some problem with new kernel | 14:48 |
| chamuscas | i'm realy realy newby | 14:48 |
| ikonia | khajavi: why do you wish to do this ? | 14:48 |
| chamuscas | so how do i do that spwarrow | 14:48 |
| chamuscas | sparrow | 14:48 |
| ricoza | anirudh0 : its fat32. mount does not give any warnings no | 14:48 |
| ikonia | khajavi: what sort of problem, taking it back to a gutsy kernel will cause you a lot of pain and issue | 14:48 |
| anirudh0 | ricoza: run dosfsck on it | 14:49 |
| anirudh0 | ikonia: such as? | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ricoza if the drive is empty, I would use gparted to remove the partition and rebuild it or just reformat the partition that is on it | 14:49 |
| khajavi | ikonia: becase in hardy when I want to install my hsf conexant modem I lose my alsa driver and my sound | 14:49 |
| ikonia | anirudh0: well, the restricted drivers for one, | 14:49 |
| lusius | where can i get help in how to compile my main.cpp that uses the mikmod lib???? i don't know how to link it | 14:49 |
| lusius | = ( | 14:49 |
| miri | blaa | 14:49 |
| chamuscas | Jack_Sparrow where do i ask my questions | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chamuscas Is your question how to ask a question? | 14:49 |
| chamuscas | yeh i guess | 14:50 |
| ikonia | khajavi: I suggest you fix/log bugs against the current issue, rather than try to back port the kernel | 14:50 |
| ricoza | JS : ok thanks, i'll try gparted | 14:50 |
| DIFH-iceroot | enaner: you can install programs with sudo apt-get install name_of_the_programm | 14:50 |
| chamuscas | for now it is that | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chamuscas right where you are typing now | 14:50 |
| miri | AH JA | 14:50 |
| chamuscas | hooow | 14:50 |
| chamuscas | cool | 14:50 |
| ly | hi all | 14:50 |
| anirudh0 | lolo | 14:50 |
| anirudh0 | *lol | 14:50 |
| eMaX | DIFH-iceroot, localhost:631 gives a menu and I can get as far as choosing the printer driver. then it asks for user/pass. Also, localhost:631/admin 404's | 14:50 |
| khajavi | ikonia: due to email to linuxant(driver site) they are working on new bug | 14:50 |
| chamuscas | so is there any more rooms to chat | 14:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | eMaX: cups want your root login if i remeber correctly | 14:51 |
| ikonia | khajavi: ok - so work on the bug with them rather than cause issues for your system | 14:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | eMaX: sudo passwd | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chamuscas Hundreds. | 14:51 |
| Myrtti | nononoo | 14:51 |
| eMaX | DIFH-iceroot, ok had to restart cups | 14:51 |
| Luhta | ok how's this for odd, I only have reflection issues in EQ2 if the window is maximized (not fullscreen, maximized) | 14:51 |
| chamuscas | cool | 14:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | eMaX: then you have your root-login | 14:51 |
| gordonjcp | chamuscas: I prefer sitting out in the garden to chat, rather than sitting in a room | 14:51 |
| Myrtti | DIFH-iceroot: it works without the root login | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DIFH-iceroot Please do not suggest that. | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 14:51 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 14:51 |
| Myrtti | eMaX: don't enable root | 14:51 |
| chamuscas | gordonjcp LOOOOL | 14:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Jack_Sparrow: hm, my cups is asking for root-login | 14:51 |
| chamuscas | Jack_Sparrow how can i get a list of all rooms? | 14:51 |
| gordonjcp | chamuscas: s/rooms/channels/ | 14:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Jack_Sparrow: not the normal user-login | 14:52 |
| chamuscas | gordonjcp tks a lot | 14:52 |
| chamuscas | s/rooms/channels | 14:52 |
| gordonjcp | chamuscas: /list would do it, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of channels on Freenode | 14:52 |
| anirudh0 | thousands | 14:52 |
| gordonjcp | chamuscas: if you just type "/list" your IRC client will tell you not to be stupid | 14:52 |
| gordonjcp | chamuscas: 14:53 -!- Irssi: Doing this is not a good idea. Add -YES option to command if you really mean it | 14:53 |
| chamuscas | i didn't understnad | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chamuscas Please look for a howto guide for irc.. that is beyond the scope of this channel | 14:53 |
| eMaX | DIFH-iceroot, I have entered root and his pwd, now the browser is just waiting. this is at the end, after choosing the printer model | 14:53 |
| chamuscas | beyond the scope, where's that | 14:53 |
| Myrtti | eMaX: so you enabled root account? | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chamuscas Please stop | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pt | 14:54 |
| ubottu | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 14:54 |
| chamuscas | stop whith what :S sry i'm new | 14:54 |
| eMaX | oO wait PAM problem | 14:54 |
| Myrtti | there you go then | 14:54 |
| slim1 | hi, is there recommendation for webdav server that support gui admin ? | 14:56 |
| vy | Is it possible to access GDM of a remote server and start a new X session by logging in using GDM? | 14:56 |
| lch | hello, I'm trying to use Ubuntu with a LCD monitor and the screen is slightly offset to the left in Gnome, how can I setup my monitor so that the left isn't cut off like that? | 14:56 |
| Dimitris | hello | 14:56 |
| anirudh0 | vy: gdm has a secure remote login | 14:56 |
| Dimitris | lch: adjust resolution properly and then adjust the monitor itself | 14:57 |
| genii | vy: Normally you would use a local login manager but have it login to a remote X session | 14:57 |
| Rocko | How come i can't remote desktop to one of my vista computers ? | 14:59 |
| Rocko | i have enabled remote desktop on the vista computer | 14:59 |
| anirudh0 | Rocko: the surprising thing would be if you could | 14:59 |
| lch | Dimitris, I have exactly one (1) option for the resolution, 1024x768 at 60 Hz, and I can't change it on the monitor because then the console offset is wrong | 14:59 |
| anirudh0 | Rocko: vista's remote connection thing is proprietary | 15:00 |
| Rocko | and i have tried remote desktoping to it by ip and computername | 15:00 |
| anirudh0 | Rocko: you mean remote share? | 15:00 |
| Dimitris | lch: then you have problems with resolution (video drivers maybe) | 15:00 |
| Rocko | i wan't to remote desktop to it | 15:00 |
| Rocko | so i can control the vista machine from my ubuntu box | 15:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !coc | 15:00 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 15:00 |
| lch | Dimitris, isn't there some xorg.conf setting that I can apply to correct this behaviour? | 15:00 |
| vy | anirudh0: I've enabled XDMCP of GDM, now which tool should I use to remote access to related GDM session? | 15:00 |
| lch | Rocko, then install some VNC service on the windows computer like UltraVNC | 15:01 |
| lch | google it | 15:01 |
| Rocko | i choose vista remote desktop to do allow other OS's then just vista. | 15:01 |
| geehumshriber | hmm, turned on nvidia accelerated drivers from the hardware manager, now i get the black screen on start-up | 15:01 |
| Taejo | is it possible to disable bluetooth without disabling wireless (gutsy, thinkpad z60m)? | 15:01 |
| Rocko | .Allow connection from computers running any version of RD | 15:02 |
| Dimitris | lch: there are some ways to fix that, ask those who know better , e.g. Jack_Sparrow ;) | 15:02 |
| wild | hello, ubuntu works correctly on intel dual core? | 15:02 |
| Rocko | oh ok | 15:02 |
| Rocko | so ultraVNC works. | 15:02 |
| Rocko | nice | 15:02 |
| Rocko | i will have a look into it thanks. | 15:02 |
| QUILz | RDP should work too.. | 15:02 |

| Dimitris | folks, I once saw a site which helps in transferring from windows to linux, could you please remind me what it was? | 15:03 |
| sharperguy | why am I getting no sound all of a sudden? | 15:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Taejo http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/24/disable-bluetooth-on-ubuntu-710/ | 15:04 |
| wild | did linux kernel work efficiently on intel dual core CPU? | 15:04 |
| QUILz | wild: Yes | 15:04 |
| GleepGlop | sharperguy: I'd check cabling, then mixer, then restart the sound server | 15:05 |
| Odd-rationale | Dimitris: there are several. one i like is getgnulinux.org | 15:05 |
| wild | but linux kernel support dual core?? It works by SMP? | 15:05 |
| Next1 | I am having serious issues mounting samba shares in nautilus. Is there any fix for this yet? | 15:05 |
| vy | Must I install a VNC server to be able to access X session of a remote machine? Isn't there any alternative methods? Similar to remote desktop facility of micros~1? | 15:06 |
| GleepGlop | can anyone help me setup GDM for dual displays? | 15:06 |
| genii | wild: The generic kernel has SMP, yes | 15:06 |
| sharperguy | GleepGlop, how do I restart the sound server? | 15:06 |
| creeed | vy, ssh -x | 15:06 |

| * vatts wants to know how to set vhost s in dancer-services (oh yeah, that project sux, but it's only one wich i got up) | 15:07 | |
| wild | but I've listened that linux kernel work by intel dual core as a single core? Is true? | 15:07 |
| slowlearner_ | vy i think, ubuntu comes with a default remote desktop sharing facility:D | 15:07 |
| GleepGlop | I want the login window in screen1 instead of screen0 | 15:07 |

| GleepGlop | bobstro: no big deal, just the spit and polish no a dual display setup | 15:09 |
| GleepGlop | on* | 15:09 |
| anirudh0 | Andycas: not a good idea | 15:09 |
| oompa_loompa | founded thanks | 15:09 |
| bobstro | GleepGlop: my only 'issue' is finding a background that spans both displays nicely. | 15:09 |
| wild | linux kernel works with intel dual core as a single core cpu?? | 15:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | creeed Do yo umean when you use the touchpad on your keyboard | 15:09 |
| Andycas | anirudh0: and letting my an sit on 0% while my cpu is 70C is good idea?! | 15:09 |
| Andycas | I need help fast! | 15:09 |
| GleepGlop | bobstro: yeah, good luck | 15:09 |
| anirudh0 | Andycas: there's something wrong with the hardware then | 15:10 |
| creeed | Jack_Sparrow, for the touchpad I dont have the problem, it's just when I use my usb-mouse | 15:10 |
| sharperguy | GleepGlop, that didn't help. I think something is taking precidence over pulseaudio but I have no idea what | 15:10 |
| Andycas | anirudh0: grr, its ubuntu fan control, on bios it works | 15:10 |
| Rocko | cool | 15:10 |

| * vatts feely so faily | 15:12 | |
| matt_ | How can I install a .bin program? It's on the desktop | 15:12 |
| creeed | Jack_Sparrow, no, an example when you play a shooter you have to use mouse and keyboard at the same time, so this dont work with my usb-mouse | 15:13 |
| MOzartstaedter | hi guys =) | 15:13 |
| creeed | anirudh0, mouse emulation, where? | 15:13 |
| creeed | I have gnome | 15:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | creeed Ah.. understood.. have you tried a different non-usb mouse | 15:14 |
| anirudh0 | creeed: as i said..its a kde 3.5 feature..must be a way to make it work in gnome | 15:14 |
| whatever01 | does anyone here happen to have experience with pptpd? (it's a vpn server) I'm running it and my pc can connect to it but it gives an error. still, when i port scan to see on which port it listens so that i can make a firewall rule, it doesn't show vpn on any ports, wtf? | 15:14 |
| bobstro | GleepGlop: are they both set as a single desktop (xinerama)? | 15:14 |
| creeed | Jack_Sparrow, no, in some ubuntu-forums should people have the same problem even if they used an ps-2 mouse | 15:15 |
| bobstro | GleepGlop: in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf you can set PositionX,Y if you just need to move it over | 15:15 |
| creeed | anirudh0, thanks I'll try it | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | creeed Is it only one game or all games | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | creeed I need to leave for a bit.. hope you get it worked out | 15:16 |
| MOzartstaedter | is it possible to play the standard-chess online??? or only in the network??? | 15:16 |
| creeed | Jack_Sparrow, this with the game was just an example, I get the problem everytime when keyboard and mouse works synchronised | 15:16 |

| _ZeuZ_ | is there any way to import gnome 2.22 to Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu? Since I've seen the repos hold 2.20.2.2 instead of the one a partner of mine (ubuntu user) is after... | 15:21 |

| _ZeuZ_ | chamuscas, who was that for? | 15:21 |
| pen | instead of the dialog to type the pass, I get a white screen, but I can still type pass to pass it | 15:21 |
| pen | but I don't like that | 15:22 |
| chamuscas | bobstro can you tell me how do i get the cube environment in ubuntu | 15:22 |
| _ZeuZ_ | chamuscas, install compiz | 15:22 |
| matt_ | What's the default Eclipse directory? I installed it with Synaptic | 15:22 |
| _ZeuZ_ | and I can guide you there... | 15:22 |
| bobstro | chamuscas: ask away here, there are lots of folks doing it. | 15:22 |
| chamuscas | tank you and sry | 15:22 |
| _ZeuZ_ | chamuscas, go to general, and set the horizontal number of desktops to 4 | 15:22 |
| chamuscas | _Zeuz_ | 15:22 |
| _ZeuZ_ | then allow the plugin, and you're done | 15:23 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: I never liked installing eclipse from the repositories. I just download it from the website and install it to home | 15:23 |
| chamuscas | _Zeuz_ ok ok now what | 15:23 |
| stabbyjoe12 | hi every ten mins or so my computer makes a chimmig up sound then a chimming down sound after anoher ten mins | 15:23 |
| stabbyjoe12 | what the hellis it? | 15:23 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: If you install via the repositories you have to change permissions around or you'll never be able to download and install new plugins from inside of Eclipse. (Unless you run it with sudo, but that's probably not a great idea) | 15:23 |
| _ZeuZ_ | If you did set the number of horizontal desktops to4, and activated the cube plugin, then you're done. simply use the key combination you chose | 15:23 |
| oldenglish | what the hell is chimming? | 15:23 |
| ajonat | Hi guys, is there an official hardy wishlist? or at least a per-package wishlist? | 15:23 |
| _ZeuZ_ | chamuscas, If you did set the number of horizontal desktops to4, and activated the cube plugin, then you're done. simply use the key combination you chose | 15:23 |
| chamuscas | _Zeuz_, tanks i will try to install compiz now | 15:24 |
| bobstro | chamuscas: i just did system->preferences->appearance->Visual Effects and selected Extra. i had appropriate drivers already installed. doing that enabled all the compiz effects. | 15:24 |
| bobstro | chamuscas: but yes, you may need to install other packages. | 15:24 |
| _ZeuZ_ | chamuscas, lol, I thought you had allready installed it | 15:24 |
| zvacet | ajonat : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 15:24 |
| matt_ | ah okay, thanks, I think I'll download it from the site then. Only been using Linux for a day | 15:24 |
| _ZeuZ_ | ChampS``, I can't really guide you to install it through Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu GUI, because it's easy enough, and I'm a Debian user... | 15:25 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: compiz seems to get pulled in automatically, at least for all my buddies lately. what normally pulls it in ? | 15:25 |
| _ZeuZ_ | s/ChampS/chamuscas/ | 15:25 |
| ajonat | zvacet, thanks | 15:25 |

| eMaX | DIFH-iceroot, also, I have configured the printer as ipp://192.168.1.74:631/ipp/p1 | 15:25 |
| _ZeuZ_ | bobstro, what do you mean with that? I repeat, I do not use Ubuntu, but Debian... Though, installation is easy in Ubuntu | 15:25 |

| VCreator | I am having problems setting up PWM fan profiles, I do the pwmconfig but when I restart the profile is not used... Do I have to activate fancontrol somewhere ? (Hardy) | 15:26 |
| _ZeuZ_ | in Debian you have to manually modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:26 |
| _ZeuZ_ | ChampS``, sorry xD | 15:26 |
| _ZeuZ_ | ChampS``, it was a typo | 15:26 |
| ChampS`` | ^^ | 15:26 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: ah, no big deal. it's just that compiz always seems to be there with latest ubuntu. i keep telling friends to install it and it's already there. | 15:26 |
| scummos | hi ;) | 15:26 |
| Next1 | Major issues with GVFS on active directory. Is there any fix for this? | 15:26 |
| _ZeuZ_ | bobstro, It's integrated afaik | 15:26 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: there's a dependency that they must be installing by default. maybe accelerated drivers (nvidia-glx-new) pull it in? | 15:26 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: so lately i just tell them to try enabling advanced effects in little appearance preference panel and it works. | 15:27 |
| jo4 | Hi, i installed a new grapics card and now, gdm doesn't show me anything when i boot it. When gdm is up, i'm unable to get a terminal by pressing ctrl alt Fx to. And ssh is not up, so do i have to reinstall? | 15:27 |

| _ZeuZ_ | bobstro, dunno, once again I say, i do not use ubbuntu/*INSERT LETTER HERE*buntu | 15:27 |
| _ZeuZ_ | but, perhaps ubuntu core developers have tried that | 15:28 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: ok. i was mostly debian myself until last year or so. | 15:28 |
| _ZeuZ_ | bobstro, then why did you migrate? xD | 15:28 |
| _ZeuZ_ | I'm trying to migrate myself to FreeBSD... | 15:29 |
| _ZeuZ_ | but I can't get used to ports | 15:29 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: well, my server is still debian. i just found it easier to get friends going with ubuntu as "support guy". | 15:29 |
| mangojambo | hi there ... | 15:29 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: but i still consider ubu "offspring of debian" :) | 15:30 |
| justme_ | debian > ubuntu for servers :D | 15:30 |
| justme_ | ^^ | 15:30 |
| _ZeuZ_ | bobstro, my mates at debian-es conquire that Ubuntu creates people afraid of consoles/ttys | 15:30 |
| wols_ | scummos: what videocard | 15:30 |
| scummos | wols_: nvidia geforce 7600 gt | 15:30 |
| justme_ | _ZeuZ_, lol? | 15:30 |
| justme_ | AFRAID of consoles oO ? | 15:31 |
| bobstro | _ZeuZ_: well... for a lot of people that may be just as well. :) i don't want mom & dad playing under there. | 15:31 |
| justme_ | they are scared by windows ! | 15:31 |
| wols_ | scummos: that one is supported by everything | 15:31 |
| justme_ | not by Ubuntu | 15:31 |
| scummos | wols_: strange, i tried xtresprobe nv, it returned just nothing :p | 15:31 |
| wols_ | !fixres | jo4 | 15:31 |
| ubottu | jo4: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 15:31 |
| scummos | wols_: i have also been thinking so :p | 15:31 |
| mohamed | Hi Guys i have a problem with wine configuration accidentally i made the resolution to 1024x760 i cannot see anything how to make it 860 x | 15:31 |
| _ZeuZ_ | justme_, they-re scared to use the console, they want all point and click | 15:31 |
| wols_ | scummos: xtresprobe? | 15:31 |
| nanothief | nothing wrong with being afraid of consoles imo | 15:31 |

| chuck | Hi, is there a "metapackage" for installing all the things necessary to compile with in ubuntu like debian has build-essentials or w/e? | 15:32 |
| joya | hello' | 15:32 |
| _ZeuZ_ | justme_, console is for life use, not just for security issues, and if for that it comes, use WifiSlax or Backtrack | 15:33 |
| joya | i need help | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | chuck: build-essential | 15:33 |
| joya | anyone? | 15:33 |
| bobstro | chuck: i use... build-essential | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | !ask | joya | 15:33 |
| ubottu | joya: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 15:33 |
| chuck | oh, that's it, thanks erUSUL and bobstro | 15:33 |
| justme_ | _ZeuZ_, Backtrack does not run on my notebook | 15:33 |

| _ZeuZ_ | justme_, I don't belave that | 15:33 |

| bobstro | chuck: just did several vmware server builds so it's burnt into my brain | 15:33 |
| justme_ | the intel driver for my card needs a newer kernel as 2.6.17 | 15:33 |
| justme_ | ;) | 15:33 |
| joya | anyone here know how to configure ipv6? | 15:33 |
| mangojambo | that is my problem: I'm having problem capturing miniDV video using kino. Look what happens: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/743/capturadatelasemttulomorh9.png ... do you see the "bugged retangles" ? ... and that is the dmesg message: a lot of [ 243.754415] ohci1394: fw-host0: IR DMA error - OHCI error code 0x05 | 15:33 |
| _ZeuZ_ | justme_, it is in that kernel version | 15:33 |

| eMaX | anyone here can help me with cups | 15:34 |
| enterneo | on hardy heron, recently my totem-player has started to open up in fullscreen-mode, and the option to restore the original size from fullscreen is disabled somehow, how do i resolve it? | 15:34 |
| bobstro | eMaX: what is the problem? | 15:34 |
| eMaX | bobstro, I get Print-Job: Unauthorized | 15:34 |
| eMaX | I try all combinations in DeviceURI ipp://admin:password@192.168.1.74:631/ipp/p1 | 15:35 |
| jo4 | how can i start ubuntu without gdm/X? | 15:35 |
| eMaX | jo4 1 | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | jo4: just once? or allways? | 15:35 |
| Inki | hi, it seems i broke my sound. yesterday, just after installing, it worked, but it seems I have fscked it up | 15:35 |
| bobstro | eMaX: so this is when you first create the printer? what sort of printer? on a server? | 15:35 |
| pen | i have a problem with resuming | 15:35 |
| jo4 | just once | 15:35 |
| pen | instead of the dialog to type the pass, I get a white screen, but I can still type pass to pass it | 15:35 |
| pen | anyone has solution to that? | 15:36 |
| eMaX | bobstro, the printer is on a server that supports ipp, smb, etc. works fine from a windows box. | 15:36 |
| eMaX | bobstro, the ip is 192.168.1.74 | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | jo4: boot into recovery mode or stop gdm on a normal session "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 15:36 |
| chimp_ | From the command line, what program should I use to send files via samba? | 15:36 |
| Inki | when going to System/Preferences/Sound and Testing the playback with autodetect, the Testing Pipeline freezes | 15:36 |
| rascal999 | any non-cli based assembly viewers? | 15:36 |
| rascal999 | !best | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | chimp_: smbclient ? or mount the windows share and copy files | 15:36 |
| bobstro | eMaX: i usually get away with ipp://<address>:631/ipp/<queuename> (from memory) | 15:37 |
| eMaX | tried that | 15:37 |
| melby | hy guis | 15:37 |
| bobstro | eMaX: sometimes looking at working windows configuration yields the hint. | 15:37 |
| jo4 | erUSUL, is recovery mode totally X free? cause if gdm starts, i won't have a chance of getting a console. and my ssh is removed from rc | 15:37 |
| Draggin | Hi there - can anyone explain to me how I might be able to get my GNOME automount utility to reset to the default values for my USB memory stick? I tampered with it and now the only way I can access my memory stick is to mount it manually,,, | 15:37 |
| Inki | can anyone help? | 15:37 |
| bobstro | eMaX: you need the password definitely? | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | jo4: is totally X free | 15:37 |
| metguru | hey all, can someone help me get my usb headphones working? Ubuntu can see my headphones as an output, but nothing ever comes out of it other than the login sound ubuntu has. | 15:37 |
| scummos | so nobody knows to solve my xterm-error-message-problem? okay, then ill wait for the next version :) | 15:37 |
| ccooke | jo4: you're safe | 15:37 |
| eMaX | bobstro, don't know, for smb yes. | 15:38 |
| jo4 | phew, thanks guys | 15:38 |
| mohamed | how to reset wine resolution | 15:38 |
| eMaX | bobstro, what's more, I get in the cups log file cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found! | 15:38 |
| bobstro | eMaX: which browser are you accessing cups with? | 15:38 |
| The-Seiman | hi guys :) | 15:38 |
| melby | i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and i dont have nternet connection | 15:38 |
| ccooke | jo4: even if it did go to X, there's a way to boot to a shell anyway | 15:38 |
| melby | can anyone help me ? | 15:38 |
| bobstro | scummos: does the live cd work for you? | 15:38 |
| eMaX | well firefox or the gnome print settings manager | 15:38 |
| evariste | /msg ubottu etiquette | 15:39 |
| scummos | bobstro: nope, this is the one i have tried ;) | 15:39 |
| vlt | Hello. Any idea how to capture a video and audio stream from a runnning xine player to hard disk? | 15:39 |
| bobstro | eMaX: there's been a discussion about firefox not accepting cups certificates. some missing keys IIRC. so i've used a different browser lately for configuring cups. | 15:39 |
| linny | hello pple :) please could someone offer help, installing flash in opera on ubuntu hardy please could you be discriptive as i am new to linux thank you in advance | 15:39 |
| bobstro | scummos: ah, that's a bummer. what sort of video card? | 15:39 |
| darrend | i just re-installed hardy after a disk failure, and now network-manager appears incapable of configuring interfaces. syslog shows correct transaction with DHCP server including DHCPACK of ip address. Any ideas? | 15:39 |
| vlt | Can I tell xine to use an additional output device? | 15:39 |
| scummos | bobstro: NVIDIA geforce 7600gt | 15:40 |
| darrend | nm-applet just keeps spinning away saying "getting address from wired network" | 15:40 |
| eMaX | that's probably not it | 15:40 |
| jo4 | ccooke, like a grub argument? | 15:40 |
| bobstro | scummos: did you try failsafe mode? | 15:40 |
| scummos | bobstro: nope, is there one? i didnt see it ;) | 15:40 |
| The-Seiman | are the Intel 965GM drivers shiped with Ubuntu really bad ? | 15:40 |
| melby | i just installed ubuntu hardy and i have no internet connection | 15:40 |
| scummos | bobstro: you know if ubuntu tries to load the nvidia-driver instead of the nv one? | 15:40 |
| eMaX | bobstro, looks a lot like http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-166473.html | 15:40 |
| bobstro | scummos: not by default. | 15:41 |
| Cyndrework | looking for a replacement for solar winds - anyone know a good option? | 15:41 |
| The-Seiman | do I need to build the lastest drivers from intellinuxgraphics.org ? | 15:43 |
| scummos | bobstro: okay... so which option do i have to specify for failsafe? | 15:43 |
| bobstro | eMaX: sorry, i've got to run. good luck with it. | 15:43 |
| scummos | bobstro: just "failsafe"? | 15:43 |
| bobstro | scummos: try just that, yes. see if it helps. | 15:43 |
| scummos | bobstro: ty then ;) ill try. cya =) | 15:43 |
| bobstro | bye | 15:43 |
| mr_boo | hi | 15:43 |
| vlt | xine is successfully playing an "interactive" DVD which dvdrip refuses to read ... Any idea how to dump the stream tp a file? | 15:43 |
| mr_boo | does this configuration enable dual boot? http://pastebin.com/m43ebb944 | 15:44 |
| threedee | Rockj: In what way | 15:44 |
| mr_boo | i've got a tiny grub question | 15:44 |
| mr_boo | can i dual boot with this config? http://pastebin.com/m43ebb944 | 15:45 |
| eMaX | bobstro, tnx | 15:45 |
| The-Seiman | mr_boo: have you installed ubuntu before or after Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista ? | 15:46 |
| ccooke | jo4: (sorry, ask) yes. If you append 'init=/bin/bash' to a kernel boot line, it'll boot with the shell replacing init. But you need to know a few tricks to actually do anything with a system in that state, so it's really Not Recommended unless there's no other way | 15:46 |
| mr_boo | The-Seiman: before | 15:46 |
| The-Seiman | mr_boo: you can't dual boot then | 15:46 |
| The-Seiman | mr:boo: you must reinstall grub | 15:47 |
| scunizi | mr_boo, did you manually change your partitioning? typically windows is on the first part of the drive since it likes it that way and is normally installed first | 15:47 |
| lonetech1920 | mr_boo: did you edit grub to map the windows partition to be as first partition | 15:47 |
| ASULutzy | mr_boo: It's a lot trickier to get Windows on a machine that already has Ubuntu installed than vice versa | 15:47 |
| miturburu | hi all | 15:47 |
| threedee | The more of the story is install windows then Ubuntu I guess | 15:47 |
| threedee | moral | 15:48 |
| mr_boo | lonetech1920: i managed to boot xp direct after install | 15:48 |
| ASULutzy | I don't think it'd be impossible to do it the other way at all | 15:48 |
| The-Seiman | i've also found read somewhere that linux can be booted from ntldr | 15:48 |
| mr_boo | lonetech1920: but after restoring grub windows is gone | 15:48 |
| miturburu | my mouse is going crazy, if I make a left click and then a right click the pointer goes to a screen corner, anyone knows of something similar? | 15:48 |
| jo4 | ccooke, ah, ok. i've managed to get a picture now atleast. but it's good to know. | 15:48 |
| ASULutzy | Does Vista require that it be on the first partition in order to boot? I know older versions of Windows were like that, right? | 15:49 |
| miturburu | it happens on alt+tab and some window triggers like that one | 15:49 |
| lonetech1920 | mr_boo: can you browse the windows partition from ubuntu | 15:49 |
| mr_boo | lonetech1920: haven't tried | 15:49 |
| threedee | miturburu: maybe check your leads are firmly plugged in | 15:49 |
| The-Seiman | well, no one can help me on my intel 965GM problem ? | 15:49 |
| scunizi | lonetech1920, he wants to setup grub to boot into it.. win installed after ubuntu.. reinstalling grub wipes the win entry | 15:50 |
| mr_boo | The-Seiman: how do i reinstall grub? | 15:50 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: What problem? | 15:50 |
| The-Seiman | mr_boo: give me a min | 15:50 |
| miturburu | threedee: they are, I tried changing the usb port too | 15:50 |
| linny | does anyone know how to install flash in opera ? | 15:51 |
| The-Seiman | ASULUtzy: well, the 3D rendering ( direct rendering is on ) is very slow, and on #xorg, they suggested me to use the lastest intel drivers | 15:51 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: I have a 965 in my laptop, and I'm pretty ticked at it... I can't get my S-video to do so much as make my TV flicker using the intel driver. Means I have to leave Windows installed on this thing | 15:51 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: Slow for what? Like gaming, or compiz? | 15:51 |
| miturburu | threedee: any other idea? | 15:51 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: Cause let's be honest, onboard isn't really the greatest for 3d intensive stuff | 15:52 |
| The-Seiman | ASULUtzy: but | 15:52 |
| evariste | I'm using Synaptic Package Manager (in Ubuntu 8.04) and I was wondering if I do a search for a certain package, will it only search for packages I have currently installed on my machine? Because I want to search for packages that I may need to download too. | 15:52 |
| oompa_loompa | see ya guys | 15:52 |
| The-Seiman | ASULutzy: 60 FPS isn't really good | 15:52 |
| ASULutzy | evariste: No, it searches the software repositories | 15:52 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: 60 FPS? Is it stuck at exactly 60 FPS? | 15:52 |
| scunizi | evariste, when using search it searches for everything all at once | 15:52 |
| The-Seiman | ASULutzy: and under Windows, I get 10x times more | 15:52 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: Cause 60 is a pretty round number, sounds like you forgot to turn V-sync off lol! | 15:53 |
| schoum | uit | 15:53 |
| evariste | ASUlutzy: for example, I searched for xchat but nothing appeared. | 15:53 |
| Sarutobi` | Well thanks to Jack_Sparrows imba luck wishing skills, my xubuntu is working great | 15:53 |
| The-Seiman | ASULutzy: V-sync ? I'm a newbie yes ... | 15:53 |
| The-Seiman | ASULutzy: should I disable it with driconf ? | 15:54 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: Google it. It's an option that can be turned on in Windows or in Linux. It's short for vertical sync. Basically it caps your framerate out at exactly your monitor's refresh rate. It prevents screen tearing | 15:54 |
| Sarutobi` | But, I need some help with deleting the windows xp partition and getting my Broadcom pci card to work | 15:55 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: But if you are capped at exactly 60 FPS then it's definitely V-sync. Though V-sync isn't necessarily bad. Depending on what game I'm playing on my desktop I turn it on | 15:55 |
| scunizi | evariste, what happens when you're at the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install xchaat" .. without the quotes.. | 15:55 |
| scunizi | *xchat | 15:55 |
| ASULutzy | evariste: I just did a search for xchat, and I see it | 15:55 |
| evariste | E: Couldn't find package xchat | 15:56 |
| ASULutzy | evariste: You could try just sudo apt-get install xchat. Although I see there are like, gnome specific ones... Not too familiar with it, someone else can help maybe | 15:56 |
| ASULutzy | evariste: What does your sources file look like? | 15:56 |
| bazhang | !info xchat | 15:56 |
| scunizi | evariste, and are you using the same machine to check with that you're on irc with? | 15:56 |
| ubottu | xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu7 (hardy), package size 301 kB, installed size 808 kB | 15:56 |
| miturburu | seems like a compiz issue, I tried switching it off and the problem no longer occurs, I try reporting it | 15:56 |
| miturburu | thanks anyway | 15:56 |
| evariste | yes, currently I am using pidgin | 15:56 |
| scunizi | evariste, just making sure that you have an internet connection. | 15:56 |
| ASULutzy | !paste | evariste Give us the output of /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:56 |
| ubottu | evariste Give us the output of /etc/apt/sources.list: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 15:56 |
| bazhang | evariste, be sure all the software sources (first four) are enabled | 15:57 |
| linny | could anyone help install flash in opera please? ive googled everywhare and im new to linux witch doesnt help :) | 15:57 |
| Adylas | Hello, I like to get the indirect XDMCP query chooser by default on my ubuntu 8.04 install. Is this possible ? | 15:57 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: I find it really weird that no one in #xorg would suggest vsync as what's holding your FPS back... | 15:57 |
| The-Seiman | mr_boo: sudo grub-install /dev/hda | 15:58 |
| scunizi | evariste, ok.. with synaptic open go to settings/repositories and make sure the checkmarks are ticked for multiverse and universe and NOT ticked for cdrom | 15:58 |
| mr_boo | The-Seiman: thanks | 15:58 |
| lonetech1920 | mr_boo: maybe this might help: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 15:58 |
| evariste | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19653/ | 15:58 |
| wild | A irc channel about GCC exists? | 15:58 |
| The-Seiman | ASULutzy: well, they heard "Ubuntu" and they immediatly suggested me to build the lastest drivers because Ubuntu's ones are too old | 15:59 |
| wild | anybody known a irc channel about gcc? | 15:59 |
| _ZeuZ_ | #gcc | 15:59 |
| wild | tnx | 15:59 |
| ASULutzy | The-Seiman: Tricky programmers, always looking for the complicated problems first ;) | 15:59 |
| evariste | scunizi: yes, that is already the case. | 16:00 |
| scunizi | evariste, sources looks good.. lets see if we can get synaptic to search for a better mirror | 16:01 |
| jagggy | could anyone tell me a good dvdripping tool? | 16:01 |
| mr_boo | lonetech1920: thanks | 16:01 |
| evariste | Currently I'm using the UK mirror, perhaps I should switch to "main" ? | 16:01 |
| lonetech1920 | mr_boo: also you might need to use map for windows something like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/19654/ | 16:01 |
| === bicz is now known as beecz | ||
| szczym | jagggy: handbrake but its command line | 16:02 |
| === beecz is now known as bicz | ||
| scunizi | evariste, if you know how to switch.. yes.. synaptic has a feature to search for the best in your area. | 16:02 |
| jagggy | hmm szczym any other, with gui? ^^ | 16:02 |
| ASULutzy | jagggy: mencoder, it's all you need ;) But again, command line | 16:02 |
| thingfish | jagggy: brasero | 16:02 |
| jagggy | ok :) ty guys | 16:02 |
| ASULutzy | jagggy: They make GUI frontends for mencoder, but I don't like them. Acidrip is one I can think of offhand | 16:02 |
| mr_boo | lonetech1920: that was the information i needed i think | 16:03 |
| scottyL | How would I go about finding a way to install PersonalJava on my Gutsy server? I'm logged in through a secure shell | 16:03 |
| ASULutzy | jagggy: But my advice would be to learn to use mencoder, it's amazing once you learn the ins and outs of it really | 16:03 |
| lonetech1920 | mr_boo: ok cool | 16:03 |
| matt_ | what command do i need to use to install an unpackaged tar.gz file? I'm trying to install Firefox 3 RC3 and Eclipse 3.3.2 | 16:03 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: RC3? I thought RC2 came out like, I dunno, last week? | 16:03 |
| mr_boo | lonetech1920: thanks | 16:03 |
| rever | Hello my system is having a lot of Harddrive activity. Is there anyway to determine what application is reading/writing to the HDD? | 16:03 |
| jagggy | ok ASULutzy i'll try :) | 16:03 |
| lonetech1920 | mr_boo: np | 16:04 |
| scottyL | I forget how to search for Sun programs I want to install | 16:04 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: And if I remember, the Eclipse download doesn't need to be "installed" per say, you just basically decompress it and it's good to go. Similar to how you just need to unzip it in windows and it works | 16:04 |
| mr_boo | rever: have you checked the system monitor in ubuntu? | 16:04 |
| Xcell | . | 16:05 |
| scunizi | rever.. if it's a new install it's just the indexing happening.. after it's done all will be well. | 16:05 |
| rever | mr_boo, Yeah it give me Memory and CPU utilization but nothing on HDD. I have used xosview and saidar | 16:05 |
| matt_ | oh nice, can i add it to the applications list ? | 16:05 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: Yea, I suppose so, I think you can just basically right click anywhere in the applications list to add new groups/apps | 16:06 |
| junkeR | To do a encrypted filesystem in Hardy, I simply run the alternate install disk and select the option to format as encrypted LVM, correct? Is there a way to change the encryption passcode later? | 16:06 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: Hmmm, but maybe not :X | 16:06 |
| scottyL | Just, one more time, what's the command used to find the different program names before you do "sudo apt-get"? | 16:06 |
| rever | scunizi, Nope install was quite some time ago. I can tell something is accessing the HDD. saidar and xosview both show usage. My swap is 0% and very fire swapin and swapout | 16:06 |
| scunizi | matt_, ASULutzy right mouse click the "applications" lettering then do it. | 16:06 |
| ASULutzy | matt_: I forget how to add stuff there lol, I'm sure someone in here knows | 16:06 |
| evariste | scunizi, it seems to work now - thanks. | 16:07 |
| bazhang | scottyL, apt-cache search | 16:07 |
| ASULutzy | scunizi: There ya go! | 16:07 |
| scottyL | Thanks, bazhang | 16:07 |
| matt_ | Ah thankyou :) | 16:07 |
| scunizi | evariste, no problem.. while getting xchat you might also want irssi for those times you get stuck using terminal.. | 16:07 |
| slowlearner_ | irssi rocks | 16:08 |
| evariste | Will do. | 16:08 |

| Bloodnut | Hello everyone, I saw that this is the place to ask questions so here goes: I installed Ubuntu 7.10 to a pen drive earlier and later I wanted to erase it. since nor Windows nor Ubuntu let me format it I used Acronis Disk Director which did clean the whole drive but now it's unrecognizable (in windows) anybody has ideas what to do? | 16:12 |
| bazhang | Bloodnut, what file format now | 16:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | why would you want wep over WPA? | 16:13 |
| Bloodnut | FAT32 | 16:13 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Bloodnut, you have to format it with FAT | 16:13 |
| Bloodnut | oh. ok I'll try it now | 16:13 |
| justme_ | IndyGunFreak, I don't want it | 16:13 |

| === Soulchild is now known as soulchild | ||
| IndyGunFreak | _ZeuZ_: i was actually talking to justme_ i agree with you.. | 16:14 |
| justme_ | IndyGunFreak, _ZeuZ_ I use WPA2 + MAC Filter + 63 Characters Key (random) | 16:14 |

| Sarutobi` | Does that matter? | 16:14 |
| justme_ | ^^ | 16:14 |
| _ZeuZ_ | I said I frefer wpa over wep this menas I rather use WPA than WEP | 16:14 |
| ASULutzy | WPA is not feasibly crackable given a long enough pass | 16:14 |

| evariste | I have another question, I'm pretty new to Linux (exWindows user) and I was wondering what firewalls, antispyware, antivirus software there is out there for Linux? I used to use things like zonealarm, ad-aware, avg, etc.. for Windows. | 16:18 |
| Sarutobi` | I'm reading | 16:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | !antivirus | evariste | 16:18 |
| ubottu | evariste: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 16:18 |
| === mehdi is now known as bayar | ||
| Sarutobi` | But I don't think I'll be able to do much | 16:18 |
| anparks | clamav | 16:18 |
| bazhang | evariste, not really needed | 16:18 |
| anparks | clam av is pretty good but not needed | 16:19 |
| scunizi | evariste, your router if you have one is a hard firewall.. the rest of the stuff isn't really needed.. | 16:19 |
| soulchild | WOW irssi is great | 16:19 |
| DaLiang | Do we not need antivirus softs under ubuntu? | 16:19 |
| _ZeuZ_ | evariste, as for firewall, you don't need nothing more than iptables and ipchains that come alltoghether on kernels higher than 2.4.1 | 16:19 |
| QUILz | soulchild: :) | 16:19 |
| bazhang | DaLiang, nay | 16:19 |
| BoltClock | nope, linux is safe enough | 16:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | DaLiang: unless you need to protect windows boxes(ie, you're a server) | 16:19 |
| Parker2 | Not really, People don't write viruses for Linux | 16:19 |
| scunizi | evariste, also ubuntu has a firewall built in.. iptables.. takes care of a lot of stuff | 16:19 |
| anparks | yes we do, and we have antiviruses | 16:19 |
| soulchild | QUILz: how do i switch between windows (channels) | 16:19 |
| * BoltClock wants to pull out his ubuntu hard disk and hug it | 16:19 | |
| DaLiang | I have two os | 16:20 |
| QUILz | Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N | 16:20 |
| indio | Hi. How do I search packages in the command line with aptitude ? | 16:20 |
| evariste | Do I have to configure these iptables or enable them? Or should this already be done? | 16:20 |
| anparks | viruses are written by 1337 h4x0r semi-autistic teenagers who think they can program because they know how to click and drool in visual basic | 16:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | DaLiang: on one PC.. | 16:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | ? | 16:20 |
| scunizi | evariste, the only reason to use antivirus on linux is to protect your windows friends from receiving something from you. | 16:20 |
| * soulchild loves terminal mode,... and never needs an XServer anymore ? | 16:20 | |
| DaLiang | IndyGunFreak yes ubuntu and xp | 16:20 |
| soulchild | how do i switch between channels in irssi | 16:20 |
| * Parker2 assumes that either no one wants to help him, or no one knows how. | 16:21 | |
| bazhang | evariste, get firestarter | 16:21 |
| evariste | So in terms of security, I shouldn't worry too much? | 16:21 |
| anparks | correct | 16:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | DaLiang: unless you're downloading stuff in ubuntu, and sharingw/ XP, you don't need antivirus on Ubuntu.. read what scunizi said above. | 16:21 |
| anparks | ubuntu is really secure | 16:21 |
| QUILz | soulchild: Ctrl-N for next, Ctrl-P for previous | 16:21 |
| anparks | debian is probably more secure but you sacrifice the convenience of having a greater selection of software packages | 16:22 |
| Parker2 | My clients are going to love me when I tell them I can't finish their stupid HTPC demo box. | 16:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | evariste: just common sense.. i personally hate software firewalls, whether i'm using linux or Windows, so I always recommend a good router/firewall w/ stateful packet inspection.. beyond that, i do nothing. | 16:22 |
| Spaztastic | I need a little help, I have a bash script that converts a folder of avi files into dvd-iso's or burning. This bash script makes a dvd folder for the dvd VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files. The script I am using is supposed to remove that directory after it makes the iso file. But for some reason it is not which in turns really screws stuff up. Can anyone help me? :-\ | 16:22 |
| DaLiang | IndyGunFreak Thank you very much ,I onece spent two week to install Antivir into ubuntu, I am freshman to ubuntu | 16:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | anparks: i don't know about that.. ubuntu is probably just as secure as Debian.. | 16:22 |
| anparks | i just built an HTPC box, running hardy and 64studio | 16:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | DaLiang: its really not necessary, like i said, unless you're doing a lot of filesharing w/ Windows boxes/networks, or acting as a server for them. | 16:22 |
| Parker2 | yes, but you seemingly can't help me anparks. | 16:22 |

| ASULutzy | _ZeuZ_: Well, right, but if you have a very long pass phrase it becomes infeasible to crack it unless you have massively distributed computing resources at hand, and if it's sufficiently long even then it could take years to crack. Whereas WEP is inherently flawed, WPA is not | 16:23 |

| lonetech1920 | stabbyjoe12: did you goto home\username\.wine | 16:31 |
| bazhang | _ZeuZ_, Kl4m please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:31 |
| Kl4m | sure | 16:32 |
| justme_ | kl4m, _ZeuZ_ where are you talking about ^^ ? | 16:32 |
| colin_ | the size of the drive isn't the issue... you can just have 5 one TB drives if it suits your fancy | 16:32 |
| stabbyjoe12 | woo slow down jst click setu exe and it ran like a normalwindows program | 16:32 |
| Luhta | what's the best way to reinstall [insert program here] that controls tab completion? would purging and reinstalling bash do the trick? or does something else control it | 16:32 |
| DaLiang | how long have you use linux? my friend~ | 16:32 |
| garlic | Hoh, so it seems that my problem isn't in networking. My FTP client just doesn't recognise the network. | 16:32 |
| ASULutzy | _ZeuZ_: Sorry I've been busy trying to code here at work and watch the irc channel simultaneously. Could you maybe pm me with a link to what you're talking about? I was under the impression that the only way to crack WPA was to deauth someone and then capture a full handshake. Once you've captured that you can crack it, but there's no "good" way to crack it (Yes you can use rainbow table derivatives, but again, it comes down to brute forc | 16:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | stabbyjoe12: its not really hard.. right click your applications menu, then go to edit menu, then go to the menu you want to put it in(lets say under Wine for this instance), then choose New item.. Name it, then use the "browse", and browse to the executable. | 16:33 |

| scunizi | Standalf, unless you're trying to do it in a directory blow you /home directory.. | 16:38 |

| scunizi | Standalf, if you have to make a directory there then use sudo before the other line. | 16:42 |
| QUILz | GER|max: Well, from what I can gather from that, strace can't find quake3.x86. Are you sure you're in the right directory? | 16:42 |
| Standalf | scunizi: so sudo mkdir name? | 16:42 |

| scunizi | Standalf, yes | 16:42 |
| Standalf | thx | 16:42 |
| falconfox | IndyGunFreak: so i don't get sound with this sound card? | 16:43 |
| scunizi | Standalf, using sudo makes you root.. you can do damage if you're not careful | 16:43 |
| lee__ | i don't really have the cash to get another one would just be nice if there was a good way to get it working with my current card i wondered if anyone had advice.. its fine under windows | 16:43 |

| MGS88 | its all 8.4 | 16:43 |

| scunizi | Standalf, you want to copy or move.. copy is cp -r <foldername> .. moving is mv -r <foldername> .. use sudo where. needed | 16:48 |
| Standalf | I would copy folder normally in gnome commander, because I dunno how to log as root there | 16:48 |

| rampageoberon | bazhang: ah okay no worries then. The iptables part is okay i think, just marking packets. Its the ingress qdisc with police fw that is not working, i've read through all the lartc.org pages and guides and used the examples to build my script | 17:01 |
| billenium | hmm restricted drivers? | 17:01 |
| Xcell | ya | 17:01 |
| billenium | I thought i already installed all the drivers | 17:01 |
| XAVeRY | yup. you should see a notification in your notification area. | 17:01 |

| hoonteke | so, I'm trying to attach a secondary monitor on to which I'd like to extend my desktop. are there any tutorials for this? | 17:02 |
| XAVeRY | hoonteke : again, it depends on the card. | 17:02 |
| billenium | Okay well i cant find nvidia x Server Settings.... | 17:02 |
| ASULutzy | hoonteke: It should (should is the operative word here) be as simple as plugging in the monitor and then clicking system ->preferences -> screen resolution and enabling the other monitor | 17:02 |
| ASULutzy | hoonteke: One thing though, I don't think compiz plays nicely with an extended desktop | 17:03 |

| eurufulus | hello folks | 17:04 |
| eurufulus | is there a postgresql 8.2.6 binary package for Ubuntu still there? | 17:05 |
| XAVeRY | hi eurufulus | 17:05 |
| hoonteke | hmm. alright. So i can't use the stock nv driver or whatever the default is on hardy with my nvidia card (i don't see the 'nv' driver I use to see in older version of ubuntu in the xorg.conf file)? I have to use their binary driver? | 17:05 |
| ASULutzy | hoonteke: You need to use the nvidia driver though IMO. The vesa driver is no good when you've got a good graphics card. Have you tried using EnvyNG to install your video drivers? | 17:05 |
| ASULutzy | hoonteke: Wait, are you using an nvidia driver or the vesa software driver, I'm confused now | 17:05 |
| Ktron | anirudh0, XAVeRY, it takes an abnormal amount of time between pings, it doesn't respond to Ctrl-C very well... | 17:06 |
| eurufulus | folks | 17:06 |
| eurufulus | I need to downgrade postgresql from 8.2.7 to 8.2.6 on Ubuntu | 17:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | eurufulus: then you'll need to compile it from source most likely.. | 17:06 |
| hoonteke | ASULutzy: I'm *not* using the binary "non-free" nVidia drivers. | 17:06 |
| XAVeRY | Ktron : everything's alright here. don't know how to help you, then. | 17:06 |
| ASULutzy | Ktron: Hmm, I don't see that sort of error | 17:06 |
| scunizi | eurufulus, you'll probably either need to get it from the Gutsy repos or roll your own.. | 17:06 |
| ASULutzy | hoonteke: You should use the non-free ones | 17:06 |
| hoonteke | ASULutzy: checking out EnvyNG now. | 17:06 |
| Ktron | XAVeRY, ASULutzy, curious, does yahoo.com respond to ping for you? | 17:07 |
| ASULutzy | hoonteke: Envy works pretty well, and it's never hosed my system | 17:07 |
| billenium | After i get into NVIDIA X SERVER SETTINGS, what do i do? | 17:07 |
| XAVeRY | yes, perfectly. | 17:07 |

| ASULutzy | Ktron: I'm guessing you meant that, but if you can't ping like www.google.com or something like that, it's most likely something with DNS | 17:08 |
| failure | such as if i want to authenticate through LDAP | 17:08 |
| hoonteke | ASULutzy: I can't. When I try to install it via the gui, I have to revert every time because the screen gets green and white criss-cross lines/dots. and is not at all usable. | 17:08 |
| cygoku | :( | 17:08 |
| XAVeRY | billenium : choose "X Server Display Configuration". it should detect your screen and allow you to configure xorg.conf in a way that enables you to use it. | 17:08 |
| Ktron | XAVeRY, yes, it does! Ah, so the DNS is screwed up | 17:08 |
| XAVeRY | there you go. :) | 17:08 |

| XAVeRY | SheikPunk, ask your question first. | 17:09 |
| ASULutzy | Ktron: Can you ping www.yahoo.com and not yahoo.com (I just want to make sure you are trying to ping the right thing :P) | 17:09 |
| SheikPunk | my ubuntu cd dont boot on my laptop | 17:09 |
| Ktron | ASULutzy, google.com, www.yahoo.com work, yahoo.com doesn't, and I'll look into fixing the DNS now (its in house), thanks | 17:09 |

| IndyGunFreak | lol | 17:10 |
| XAVeRY | is it PhoenixBIOS? | 17:10 |
| ASULutzy | SheikPunk: Yea, set your CD to boot in BIOS, or alternatively usually you can just mash f8 and it will bring up a "boot from" menu, and you should select cd | 17:10 |
| SheikPunk | its possible | 17:10 |
| ASULutzy | SheikPunk: I'm a fan of just mashing f8 | 17:10 |

| justme | no way! | 17:41 |

| spike__ | Team Speak* | 17:41 |
| Grim76__ | mortal1: I use an e1505 | 17:41 |
| Luig1 | O, oldenglish, I'll just be patient then. I was just wondering, since that much has taken less than two hours locally before. | 17:41 |
| Rabbitbunny | mortal1: find out what card it uses and searc the HCL. | 17:41 |
| justme | Luig1, that's not normal..... | 17:41 |
| chamuscas | Cminus, well yeh i think but i just have to say that i'm going to star right now programing | 17:42 |
| justme | I guess you use USB 2.0, don't you ? | 17:42 |
| Luig1 | Yes. | 17:42 |

| anirudh0 | Luig1, are you tarring or tarballing? | 17:42 |
| justme | Where are you moving the data? | 17:42 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody | 17:43 |
| oldenglish | Luig1: I don't really know, you should listen to others more on this one :) | 17:43 |
| doktoreas | with latest openoffice update, as I open oowriter it crashes | 17:43 |
| Thundarr | I can see the windows network, the name of the system but I cannot see any files on any of the systems | 17:43 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, tarballing will take time...depending on the quality of compression | 17:43 |
| Luig1 | Anirudh0: Tarring for now. The balling part hasn't even come yet. | 17:43 |
| cygoku | No I haven't manage to fix my Wireless Broadcom slow transfert rate problem. | 17:43 |
| unavailable | Thundarr u using the right password?? | 17:43 |
| Thundarr | I guess i have to install samba | 17:43 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, tarring should be practically instantaneous | 17:43 |
| tripps | is there a way I can edit/modify files from within gedit such that I can "sudo" them rather than launching gedit as root and/or changing ownership of files? | 17:43 |
| Thundarr | the systems should not need a password | 17:43 |
| wols_ | tripps: no | 17:43 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, since all it does is put a whole bunch of files together | 17:44 |
| unavailable | thundarr you just trying to access the share? | 17:44 |
| tripps | wols_, thanks. seems that would be a very handy feature | 17:44 |
| Thundarr | when i connect to the windows systems from another windows system it does not ask for a password | 17:44 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, its the "balling", specially if you use bunzip instead of gunzip, that takes time | 17:44 |
| bruno | hello | 17:44 |
| Thundarr | yes I just want access a share | 17:44 |
| wols_ | Thundarr: cause it uses the (local) password and if it works since both have the same: it works. | 17:44 |
| bruno | there is any program to ubuntu to do remote desk connection | 17:45 |
| wols_ | also, windows remembers passwords for samba shares | 17:45 |
| bruno | to win2k | 17:45 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, are you using usb 1.0? | 17:45 |
| Luig1 | anirudh0: That's what I thought. You see, my computer became unbootable so I went in through LiveCD and am trying to back up all (alll, including system files) of my stuff to a cheap external hard disk drive. | 17:45 |
| lonetech1920 | Thundarr: are the file shares permission set to everyone | 17:45 |
| wols_ | bruno: yes. what remote access software is running on win2k? | 17:45 |
| spike__ | ffs | 17:45 |
| Thundarr | if you mean a shared folder on the windows systems...then yess | 17:45 |
| l1L | bruno: vnc ^^ | 17:45 |
| Rabbitbunny | bruno: ssh, rdp, vnc. | 17:45 |
| Thundarr | yes they are set for full access | 17:45 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, look at cpio then..better than tar for your purpose | 17:45 |
| Thundarr | but I will check that out | 17:45 |
| Thundarr | they are shared folders | 17:45 |
| swhitt | is there a way to easily add a user to a group from the commandline? | 17:46 |
| unavailable | thundarr the reason i am asking is because when i go to a local box on my network, i can see share, c$ admin$ and print$ i can see share without password (except one to mount) but i have to supply admin credintals on respective box to access admin$ and c$ | 17:46 |
| Luig1 | anirudh0: I bought the PC about a year ago, and I bought the external HDD this week, so everything should be happening in USB 2. | 17:46 |
| wols_ | swhitt: addgroup | 17:46 |
| anirudh0 | swhitt, usermod | 17:46 |

| Luig1 | wols_: which logs in particular? | 17:47 |
| Thundarr | but I do understand what you are saying | 17:47 |

| Rabbitbunny | LinuxRevo: Try putting your message on a single line. | 17:47 |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, plug in drive..check dmesg|tail | 17:47 |
| lee_ | wols_: what should I look for in it? | 17:47 |
| eyyYo | Is there a reverse for grep? Like "cat myfile | grep -reverse blabla", and it should show every line which does NOT contain "blabla"? | 17:47 |
| wols_ | lee_: errors | 17:48 |
| Luig1 | anirudh0: Well, I have plenty of space. I wasn't planning to save it. | 17:48 |
| LinuxRevo | Rabbitbunny: no Theme no Icon and no anything in desktop | 17:48 |
| Thundarr | ok that is fine | 17:48 |
| lee_ | wols_: there isn't any errors in it | 17:48 |
| wols_ | eyyYo: yes. man grep | 17:48 |
| Thundarr | so I guess I have to install samba | 17:48 |
| Rabbitbunny | lee_: where it says 'blank failed', if you see no errors than you're dealing with Bulletproofx | 17:48 |
| Thundarr | I tried sudo aptitude install smbfs | 17:48 |
| wols_ | lee_: what drivers do you use? again: check the logs | 17:48 |
| Thundarr | and it installs and everything | 17:48 |
| spike__ | um | 17:48 |
| wols_ | Thundarr: so you're done if all you want is to mount remote shres | 17:49 |
| * spike__ going to be here and waits | 17:49 | |
| anirudh0 | Luig1, cp -arv has the advantage that you actually see what is being copied..hence you can figure out what the bottleneck is | 17:49 |
| wols_ | spike__: that won't solve your problem | 17:49 |
| lee_ | wols_: nvidia-glx-new | 17:49 |

| Rabbitbunny | lee_: Cool, now you can ask a more intelligent question or search the forums. I have no idea how to fix a nvidia. Sin'ce you're on the CLI you'll need to install lynx as a www browser. | 17:54 |
| wols_ | spike__: yes | 17:54 |
| Ahri | maybe it's spelt murmur actually :) | 17:54 |
| spike__ | how? i install taht thing and it did not work | 17:55 |

| Luig1 | anirudh0: I would have, but I'm using the graphical interface (gnome's Archive Manager.) It tells me what file it's working on, but I mostly just see long alphanumeric codes, so I'm not sure what it's doing exactly. | 18:02 |
| The-Seiman | wols_: okay :'( | 18:02 |
| anirudh0 | bXi, /dev/cdrom0 is device name..mount point should be a folder | 18:02 |
| wraund | is there any way to fix my issue of only being able to have one sound 'system' running at one time, like i cant play music from amarok and a youtube vid running at the same time. Rule applies with some games too | 18:02 |

| The-Seiman | wols: but they promised that it will be much faster than the actual driver | 18:02 |
| wols_ | The-Seiman: and? | 18:02 |
| The-Seiman | well, the 3D games will run faster :p | 18:03 |
| * anirudh0 wishes people did'nt get angry so easily | 18:03 | |
| wols_ | The-Seiman: doesn't explain why ubuntu should update a released distro. wait for ubuntu+1 | 18:03 |
| maek | b4l7424r, use what ever works best with your GPU | 18:03 |
| unavailable | thundarr did you upgrade or clean install 8.04? | 18:03 |
| Xcell | anirudh0-- folks are now a days easily angered.. | 18:03 |
| maek | oh noes | 18:03 |
| anirudh0 | Xcell, they should teach zen in schools | 18:04 |
| Xcell | anirudh0-- agreed.. folks are not kind anymore. | 18:04 |
| The-Seiman | wols_: well, I just thought that ubuntu should update just his intel drivers | 18:04 |
| bXi | anirudh0: oh my bad that should be /media/cdrom0 | 18:05 |
| The-Seiman | wols_: but in the update manager i don't find them :-/ | 18:05 |
| anirudh0 | The-Seiman, wait for a while | 18:05 |

| wols_ | The-Seiman: just because you think ubuntu should do something doesn't make it so. read again what I told you | 18:05 |
| bXi | wols_: i know that | 18:06 |

| wraund | anirudh0: like i cant have amarok playing music and play a game at the same time | 18:07 |
| wraund | claiming things like 'cant connect to sound server' | 18:07 |
| wraund | or just not playing any sound : | 18:07 |
| wraund | :/* | 18:07 |
| Xcell | wraund-- the fix is in.. in 30 days | 18:07 |

| anirudh0 | :) | 18:07 |
| lmosher | Xcell, I was trying to get my mouse wheel tilt buttons to work, and it wasn't with the default 'mouse' driver no matter what I tried. I followed suggestions and started using the "evdev" driver, but as I said if I unplug the mouse it won't work if I replug it. | 18:08 |
| Xcell | lmosher-- being 8.04 is new.. i suggest imwheel.. visit that site and read 1rst | 18:08 |
| wraund | anirudh0: ok :P | 18:09 |
| tripps | ok got apache running (had to install prefork instead of worker), but php files come up with dialog box asking what to do with files of type php. dpkg shows libapache2-mod-php5 is installed | 18:09 |

| tripps | arggh!!!!! WTF did ubuntu throw out all my files/settings/programs? installed php-pear but no DB.php and other files that have always been with PEAR libs. what gives? | 18:31 |
| zooko | Is it that back when dapper was produced, the Ubuntu folks didn't produce such Contents-$arch.gz files? | 18:31 |
| ElVirolo | i have a ntfs partition with windows xp in /dev/sda3 and I'd like to edit my GRUB menu.lst accordindly but it can't make it work ... do I have to use the "map" command? | 18:31 |
| wols_ | JonathanEllis: knowingly going into a channel and asking OT questions where you know it's OT, is always rude to the people there. no matter how polite the question itself is | 18:31 |
| mypapit | rockstar, ok wtf back then | 18:31 |
| afallenhope | wols_: basically I popped in the SD card... and I clicked "Places" then "SD Card" and I have it mounted on my desktop. | 18:31 |
| wols_ | JonathanEllis: since you waste other people's time | 18:31 |
| Xcell | hey tripps watch it son | 18:31 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: come back when you can do what I asked you | 18:31 |
| afallenhope | oops sorry | 18:31 |
| zooko | If that's the case then there will be no way for me to get apt-file working on dapper. | 18:31 |
| JonathanEllis | Wols_: Hmmm. Well, if someone can direct me to the correct place, I dont see the harm | 18:32 |
| wols_ | !OT | JonathanEllis | 18:32 |
| ubottu | JonathanEllis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:32 |
| tripps | Xcell, watching it. definitely not a "son" - thanks. | 18:32 |
| afallenhope | wols_: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) | 18:32 |
| DarkAudit | posting on Planet Ubuntu says hardy-proposed has the actual release version of Firefox 3. Is this correct? | 18:32 |
| anirudh0 | biff_tannen, does lsusb show something?..also what was your exact problem..not mounting? | 18:32 |
| ompaul | JonathanEllis, you are going further offtopic please don't | 18:32 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: set a different umask. try 002 for example. also set gid | 18:32 |
| afallenhope | wols_: I don't know how to do that. | 18:33 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: oh, it's mounted ro too. remount rw | 18:33 |
| Falling-Inferno | I accidently deleted a files that were in my recyling bin that were my dads pictures Oo HOW Do i get them back? | 18:33 |
| Falling-Inferno | I hit the empty recycle bin! | 18:33 |
| tripps | ok see that all pear libs are separate packages | 18:33 |
| wols_ | Falling-Inferno: ext3? | 18:33 |
| Falling-Inferno | ? | 18:33 |
| Chousuke | Falling-Inferno: you might be screwed. | 18:33 |
| Chousuke | :P | 18:33 |
| Xcell | Falling-Inferno-- good luck | 18:33 |
| ompaul | !recover | Falling-Inferno | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Falling-Inferno: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 18:33 |
| biff_tannen | anirudh0: it was in that pastebin. my usb flashpen doesn't lightup or mount. my usb HDD does power up but ahs the ofrce option required as it was an unclean shutdown form win | 18:33 |
| DarkAudit | Falling-Inferno: he was asking if your filesystem was ext3 | 18:33 |
| tripps | again, would like to know why upgrade to hardy threw out all my needed dependencies and programs. should I submit a bug? | 18:33 |
| Xcell | yes | 18:34 |
| * biff_tannen has been drinking | 18:34 | |
| Falling-Inferno | What? | 18:34 |
| afallenhope | wols_: do you remember my issue yesterday/? with having /home on a separate partition.. that's why all this is screwing up. | 18:34 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | biff_tannen | 18:34 |
| ubottu | biff_tannen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:34 |
| ompaul | !recover | Falling-Inferno | 18:34 |
| Xcell | Falling-Inferno-- gonzo | 18:34 |
| ubottu | Falling-Inferno: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 18:34 |
| wols_ | tripps:any backports, any custom compiled software? | 18:34 |
| belendax | away | 18:34 |
| biff_tannen | ompaul: wtf are you on about | 18:34 |
| tripps | wols_, no none | 18:34 |
| Chousuke | Falling-Inferno: there's no simple way to recover files from ext3 filesystems (the default in ubuntu) | 18:34 |
| elmer | Is their a command that I can run that will constantly update to tell me the strength of my WiFi connection? | 18:34 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: I do remember. my guess is you didn't use cp -a or such | 18:35 |
| ompaul | biff_tannen, your claim to be drinking | 18:35 |
| biff_tannen | ompaul: this is UBUNTU RELATED | 18:35 |
| Falling-Inferno | Im using ubuntu and it was on a external hard drive formated as msdos. | 18:35 |
| Xcell | biff_tannen-- no wtf's are allowed tx | 18:35 |
| Chousuke | ah, | 18:35 |
| biff_tannen | ompaul: fair enough | 18:35 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: next time you pull a stund like this you delete the old /home and stuff AFTER you confirmed the new one works | 18:35 |
| Chousuke | Falling-Inferno: in that case, it's fat32 | 18:35 |
| biff_tannen | Xcell: ;) k | 18:35 |
| Chousuke | Falling-Inferno: in that case it might be easier | 18:35 |
| anirudh0 | Falling-Inferno, they are lost...look at http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/ though | 18:35 |
| wols_ | Falling-Inferno: unplug it and don't write to it anymore. you still have a chance to recover some files there | 18:35 |
| afallenhope | wols_: duely noted lol. | 18:36 |
| strtok | anyone know what command to use to get the gnome toolbar back? i xkilled a startup window that hung and it killed gnome | 18:36 |
| natalisushka | Hey ppl. I need to install windows and ubuntu on the same machine, and I want to be able to access the windows partition, what is best to create for windows installation that will be best readable by ubuntu, fat or ntfs? | 18:36 |
| wols_ | Falling-Inferno: generally, windows has better undelete tools for FAT than linux tho. so you might want to try under windows | 18:36 |
| anirudh0 | ompaul, why kill all the joy in the world? | 18:36 |
| afallenhope | wols_: I'm pretty much going to restart with a fresh install anyways.. I just want to get all my stuff off it on to my SD card... and then reinstall. | 18:36 |
| biff_tannen | anirudh0: agreed | 18:36 |
| Chousuke | Falling-Inferno: if your pictures were *really* important, unplug the drive and take it to a data recovery expert | 18:36 |
| tripps | wols_, I did note during the upgrade that at the last step it asked me if I wanted to remove all the suggested programs and there were dozens if not 100+ such programs (presumably including all these). I came in here to ask if that meant it was removing duplicate, upgraded files, or orphaned (which they were apparently) files. I was told the former, hence I said ok. Hence it removed them all. Obviously not the correct behavior. | 18:36 |
| ompaul | anirudh0, this channel is too busy for offtopic comments - it is for support _only_ | 18:36 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: mount -o remount,rw <path to sd card> | 18:36 |
| biff_tannen | anirudh0: any thoughts on why this might eb | 18:37 |
| anirudh0 | Falling-Inferno, also look at recover.sourceforge.net | 18:37 |
| elmer | Is their a command that I can run that will tell me the strength of my WiFi connection? | 18:37 |
| Nostahl | !chmod | 18:37 |
| ubottu | 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 | 18:37 |
| biff_tannen | anirudh0: _be | 18:37 |
| wols_ | elmer: iwconfig in a way | 18:37 |
| zooko | Does anyone know why apt-file (in dapper) searches for a file like "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/Contents-i386.gz" when there is no such file at that location? | 18:37 |
| BoltClock | i wish to download firefox 3 and count that download into the world record attempt. but if i download it then install it over my current installation that means its going to 'break' the package manager right? what should i do then, since i want firefox 3 as soon as it's out? | 18:37 |
| elmer | wols_, it will show the strength of the connection? | 18:37 |
| wols_ | !dapper | 18:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. | 18:37 |
| natalisushka | Hey ppl. I need to install windows and ubuntu on the same machine, and I want to be able to access the windows partition, what is best to create for windows installation that will be best readable by ubuntu, fat or ntfs? | 18:37 |
| Chousuke | tripps: try installing the ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 18:38 |
| choudesh | elmer, look at iwlist | 18:38 |
| anirudh0 | biff_tannen, type sudo mount -vt auto /dev/<device> <mountpoint>..check device using ls /dev/sd* | 18:38 |
| Chousuke | tripps: or kubuntu-desktop, if you use kubuntu | 18:38 |
| wols_ | zooko: it's the security updates for dapper. which should exist: dapper is still in support | 18:38 |
| Falling-Inferno | Its unplugged, I deleted my dad's files! and hes in IRAQ. I got 1 year to get them back or untill my mom finds out! | 18:38 |
| anirudh0 | natalisushka, fat | 18:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | natalisushka: ubuntu by default, will read NTFS | 18:38 |
| biff_tannen | anirudh0: 2 secs | 18:38 |
| anirudh0 | Falling-Inferno, :) | 18:38 |
| zooko | wols_: the Contents-$arch.gz file does not exist. | 18:38 |
| wols_ | Falling-Inferno: I told you what to do | 18:38 |
| zooko | Nor in Hardy, I notice. | 18:38 |
| natalisushka | anirudh0, Why? | 18:38 |
| tripps | Chousuke, kind of shy to try that now that I'm getting things back the way they were ;) | 18:38 |
| natalisushka | IndyGunFreak, SO is there a difference? | 18:38 |
| elmer | choudesh, I am confused. Would it be like this: "iwlist wlan0 power"? | 18:39 |
| zooko | So I infer that the version of apt-file which comes with dapper (universe) doesn't know how Ubuntu organizes its apt repos. | 18:39 |
| anirudh0 | natalisushka, linux has problems with permissions on ntfs | 18:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | natalisushka: what do you mean is there a difference? | 18:39 |
| Chousuke | tripps: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that depends on all the standard ubuntu packages | 18:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: it does?.. i've had no permission issues at all. | 18:39 |
| natalisushka | IndyGunFreak, I mean in the way ubuntu read both | 18:39 |
| Chousuke | tripps: it's a good way to get them all installed if you somehow uninstalled everything | 18:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | natalisushka: yes, ubuntu will read/write both | 18:39 |
| natalisushka | So I'll go for fat. | 18:39 |
| Saladin | Hiya, how do you rest your window chrome? Mine has disappeared. | 18:39 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, you cant set permissions on a file on a ntfs partition..atleast with ntfs-3g | 18:39 |
| tripps | Chousuke, does that include apache2, etc.? | 18:39 |
| Chousuke | tripps: no | 18:39 |
| choudesh | elmer, just man it - or look at iwconfig Signal Power | 18:40 |
| afallenhope | wols_: afallenhope@afh:~$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sb1 | 18:40 |
| afallenhope | mount: can't find /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 18:40 |
| Chousuke | tripps: apache2 is not part of the default install | 18:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: you don't need ntfs-3g in Hardy | 18:40 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, problem is not r/w..permissions are a differnet issue | 18:40 |
| tripps | Chousuke, and that's where I'm having the problem | 18:40 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, i know :) | 18:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: ..so | 18:40 |
| elmer | choudesh, I like this: iwconfig wlan0 | grep Link | 18:40 |
| Chousuke | tripps: so your apache2 got deinstalled? | 18:40 |
| _ZeuZ_ | is there any tool for KDE4 to manage the battery and the current power scheme? | 18:40 |
| Chousuke | tripps: just reinstall it? :) | 18:40 |
| tripps | Chousuke, it's almost like during the upgrade it removed everything that _wasn't_ in the desktop metapackage | 18:40 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: according to your mount output earlier it does | 18:40 |
| Chousuke | tripps: well that shouldn't happen | 18:40 |
| wols_ | !info kbattery | 18:40 |
| ubottu | Package kbattery does not exist in hardy | 18:40 |
| elmer | now how do I run it once a second =/ | 18:40 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, you do need ntfs-3g | 18:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: i dont have itl. | 18:41 |
| Chousuke | tripps: using any non-ubuntu repos? | 18:41 |
| DarkAudit | !firefox3 | 18:41 |
| Xcell | !battery | 18:41 |
| tripps | Chousuke, yes I reinstalled it and dozens of other files that I needed for my config. that included many customized files I'm having to diff, etc. serious pain. | 18:41 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, check which mount.ntfs..then do a file /sbin/mount.ntfs | 18:41 |
| Saladin | Also, for some reason, Ubuntu is telling me I need to reinstall all the upgrade updates again. Anyone have any ideas why? | 18:41 |
| natalisushka | IndyGunFreak, anirudh0 said linux has problems with permissions on ntfs .. but you said it can read both .. so where is the problem? I remember that was a problem a couple of years ago (problems with permissions) did that change? | 18:41 |
| wols_ | !info kismet | 18:41 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, it is there..under the hood | 18:41 |
| _ZeuZ_ | wols_ seems like there's nothing for KDE4 and battery ^_^ | 18:41 |
| afallenhope | wols_: mount: block device /dev/sdb1 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 18:41 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3 beta 5 is in hardy, and will get updated, because the firefox 2 branch will be unsupported before the support cycle for Ubuntu Hardy finishes. | 18:41 |
| ubottu | Factoid battery not found | 18:41 |
| ubottu | kismet (source: kismet): Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2007-10-R1-2build1 (hardy), package size 946 kB, installed size 2480 kB | 18:41 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: there you have it | 18:41 |
| Rotlaus | is there something like autostart for fluxbox? | 18:41 |
| tripps | Chousuke, I don't believe so. medibuntu and maybe ugly repos | 18:41 |
| anirudh0 | natalisushka, read/write.and permissions are seperate | 18:41 |
| afallenhope | wols_: so... I'm pretty well screwed? | 18:41 |
| wols_ | _ZeuZ_: kde4 is for _developers_ only. not for users like you | 18:41 |
| === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude | ||
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: all i know, is i have no probs w/ my ntfs partitions. | 18:41 |
| anirudh0 | natalisushka, linux can read/write..linux cannot set permissions | 18:41 |
| _ZeuZ_ | wols_ :D | 18:42 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: remove the write protection | 18:42 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, thats the good part :) | 18:42 |
| Xcell | !info power | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Package power does not exist in hardy | 18:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | I'm brave, and I've allready reported 4 plasma issues | 18:42 |
| choudesh | elmer, link gives quality (factoring in errored packets and what not), signal gives RSSI (recieve signal strength) | 18:42 |
| Chousuke | tripps: anyway, that really shouldn't happen. But since I don't know what exactly you did, all I can say is good luck fixing it :/ | 18:42 |
| afallenhope | wols_: I'm not sure on how to do that. sorry. | 18:42 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, evrything except chmod will work fine | 18:42 |
| natalisushka | anirudh0, Oh I see! well .. I think fat it is | 18:42 |
| tripps | Chousuke, no only basic sources. canonical and multiverse, etc. | 18:42 |
| river | hola | 18:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | (I beleave everyone is reporting those errors) | 18:42 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: since I don't own your card, me neither | 18:42 |
| Gumersindo | ola | 18:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | river: si hablas espa;ol, anda a #ubuntu-es | 18:42 |
| tripps | Chousuke, should I file a bug? something went very wrong for sure | 18:42 |
| anirudh0 | _ZeuZ_, kubuntu packages? | 18:42 |
| chrols | Hey does anyone here have any idea how to remap the keyboard for Ctrl key presses? For example if i press Ctrl-C I want it changed to Ctrl-Z while if I press the key unmodified I get the letter remaining C. I can't seem to figure out how to achive this reading up on xkb and xmodmap | 18:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: well why would i need to chmod something on my NTFS partition? | 18:42 |
| elmer | choudesh, Ah. I see. Well they're both on the same line so they both show up | 18:42 |
| river | ok gracias | 18:42 |
| tripps | Chousuke, shouldn't there be a log of the upgrade? | 18:42 |
| DarkAudit | word is hardy-proposed has the final release of Firefox 3 ahead of schedule... can anyone confirm or deny? | 18:42 |
| Chousuke | tripps: I don't know. | 18:43 |
| Chousuke | tripps: you might file a bug, though | 18:43 |
| Xcell | lol.. ahead of schedual | 18:43 |
| wols_ | IndyGunFreak: you can't | 18:43 |
| Xcell | 2 funny | 18:43 |
| choudesh | elmer, raw vales are in /proc/sys/net/wireless | 18:43 |
| Chousuke | tripps: doesn't hurt | 18:43 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, the lack of chmod support means, for instance, that a ntfs drive cant be /home | 18:43 |
| choudesh | elmer, errr, /proc/net/wireless | 18:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | wols_: i know, my point is, why would you need to? | 18:43 |
| elmer | choudesh, thanks | 18:43 |
| afallenhope | when I try to unmountit I get: umount: /media/disk: device is busy | 18:43 |
| wols_ | IndyGunFreak: that is moot since you can't | 18:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: why would you want an ntfs partition to be home? | 18:43 |
| _ZeuZ_ | how can I see what frecuency is my processor clocked at now? | 18:43 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, why not | 18:43 |
| DarkAudit | Xcell: release date is supposed to be the 17th | 18:43 |
| net | wols.useful link...thanks | 18:43 |
| wols_ | afallenhope: then something is using it somewhere. lsof | 18:43 |
| choudesh | chrols, man xmodmap | 18:43 |
| Xcell | ah | 18:43 |
| Chousuke | afallenhope: that means something is keeping files on the drive open | 18:43 |
| Xcell | ok | 18:44 |
| guerby | hi, could someone with firefox confirm that the picture on about: says version 1.9 (and not 3.0) ? | 18:44 |

| tripps | one of the MAJOR suggestions for upgrades is to have a "transaction rollback" feature in case an upgrade goes horribly wrong that exactly goes to prior state. wouldn't be that hard to do. don't know why it hasn't been done. | 18:44 |

| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, do you understand the statement ..."i should be free to choose the filesystem for /home"? | 18:45 |
| Xcell | Ill say this.. ff3.. is extremely fast.. puts opera to shame... good job mozilla. | 18:45 |
| amrik | my keyboard doesn't work in wine :( | 18:45 |
| afallenhope | nvm | 18:45 |
| afallenhope | lol | 18:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | anirudh0: i understand you can't answer a question | 18:45 |
| anirudh0 | Xcell, fast and memory effiecient | 18:45 |
| Chousuke | anirudh0: you are. | 18:45 |
| Chousuke | anirudh0: however, NTFS is not very well supported | 18:46 |
| t35t0r | Xcell, i did a javascript sunspider benchmark of opera 9.5 vs firefox rc3 ..rc3 is indeed faster on the entire test by 5seconds | 18:46 |
| Xcell | opera needs some linux help... lol | 18:46 |
| anirudh0 | IndyGunFreak, :)..and i understand you cant understand an answer...so i'll drop this | 18:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | thank you | 18:46 |
| chrols | choudesh: Rereading the manpage I can't say I see how I would acheive the effect I wanted | 18:46 |
| t35t0r | Xcell, considering when then entire test takes 8.5 cpu seconds on firefox and 13 cpu seconds on opera 9.5 | 18:46 |
| anirudh0 | Chousuke, which is what i was trying to tell him in the first place :) | 18:46 |
| Xcell | hey.. if opera had no script.. ff would starve | 18:46 |
| zooko | Ah: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-file/+bug/181312 | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 181312 in apt-file "Please provide Contents-ARCH.gz for all sources" [Wishlist,Invalid] | 18:47 |
| choudesh | chrols, xmodmap -e 'keycode 111=F1' would remap keycode 111 to F1 | 18:47 |
| Chousuke | anirudh0: using NTFS for /home would be stupid though. | 18:47 |
| t35t0r | and i can't get vimperator in opera so i don | 18:47 |
| Luig1 | there's a thunderstorm going on at my house, and I'm trying to tarball 30gb of data from an unbootable computer to an external HDD. Will the filesystems (ext3 on the unbootable computer, ext2 on the external HDD) become corrupted if the power goes out? | 18:47 |
| t35t0r | i don't use opera | 18:47 |
| Chousuke | anirudh0: since it's not very well supported, and chmod doesn't really work for it. | 18:47 |
| t35t0r | Luig1, no | 18:47 |
| zooko | Although I don't see why it is invalid. | 18:47 |
| gonzzor | How do I list files in a package? | 18:47 |
| * anirudh0 sighs | 18:47 | |
| t35t0r | Luig1, only if you were using xfs would you have to worry about something like that | 18:47 |
| Xcell | check | 18:47 |
| Chousuke | Luig1: ext2 might | 18:47 |
| afallenhope | how do you copy a folder? sudo cp -r? | 18:48 |
| Chousuke | Luig1: ext3 should be fine | 18:48 |
| lmosher | When I remove my USB mouse, the entry dissapears in /dev/input/by-id/, but when I plug it in again, it doesn't come back. My mouse's function depends on this listing, any ideas? | 18:48 |
| t35t0r | gonzzor, deb-view ? | 18:48 |
| net_ | wols , sorry ..my xchat was stuck and not shows anything for some time ..thats why sorry once again | 18:48 |
| Chousuke | afallenhope: just cp -r | 18:48 |
| t35t0r | deb-gview ? | 18:48 |
| Chousuke | afallenhope: that is, if you have read access | 18:48 |
| chrols | choudesh: Yes, but the keycode remains the same regardless wherever the Ctrl key is pressed or not, atleast that's what I'm getting with xev | 18:48 |
| Starnestommy | afallenhope: cp -r. Only use sudo cp -r if you need root access to do it | 18:48 |
| Luig1 | Ok, thanks everyone! | 18:48 |
| philsf | hi, I wish to report a bug for a page in wiki.u.c, do I post it under ubuntu-website project? | 18:48 |
| ASULutzy | net_: Yea, it was pretty apparent it was a stuck key | 18:48 |
| gonzzor | t35t0r: Not possible in console? | 18:48 |
| afallenhope | there was a notch on the card that gave it read/write access.. I didn't know that lol. | 18:49 |
| chrols | choudesh: I might have been unclear in my question, but I wish the remapping to only occur when the ctrl key is pressed | 18:49 |
| PeterP24 | hi, do you know a mp3 cutter with a nice front end? | 18:49 |
| ASULutzy | I always use cp -ax for backing stuff up. If you just use -r you run the risk of copying say, the stuff in /media/ which could be on a whole nother drive | 18:49 |
| ASULutzy | You want to stay on a single file system generally when backing up | 18:49 |
| anirudh0 | ASULutzy, hmm...would'nt backing up make more sense from a livecd then | 18:50 |
| afallenhope | what groups is my username supposed to be under? like what are the defaults? I really don't want to reinstall. | 18:50 |
| anirudh0 | ASULutzy, that way you avoid copying spurious entries in /dev | 18:50 |
| t35t0r | gonzzor, deb-view is a cli utility i think | 18:50 |
| Saladin | I guess no one knows the answer to my questions? | 18:50 |
| t35t0r | never used it i think | 18:50 |
| t35t0r | what was your question | 18:51 |
| choudesh | chrols, I see. One sec. | 18:51 |
| t35t0r | go to window preferences | 18:51 |
| gonzzor | t35t0r: I want to find out what files a certain package has installed | 18:51 |
| Saladin | My window chromes have all disappeared - the bit with the close, minimise etc buttons on it. | 18:51 |
| t35t0r | dpkg -L< | 18:52 |
| Saladin | How can I reset them, so they appear again? | 18:52 |
| t35t0r | dpkg -L packageName | 18:52 |
| anirudh0 | Saladin, alt+f2..metacity | 18:52 |
| gonzzor | t35t0r: Thanks | 18:52 |
| t35t0r | i thought you wanted to view what's inside a .deb | 18:52 |
| t35t0r | man dpkg | 18:52 |
| gonzzor | t35t0r: Thats dpkg -c :) | 18:52 |
| anirudh0 | t35t0r, even ar can show that..ar deb-name | 18:52 |
| t35t0r | oh nice | 18:52 |
| Saladin | t35t0r: That didn't do anything | 18:53 |
| NeuroExploder | what do you type in boot options woth the live to wipe a hard drive completely clean? | 18:53 |
| anirudh0 | Saladin, talking to me? | 18:53 |
| choudesh | chrols, ok - apt-get install xkeysmap | 18:53 |
| t35t0r | he messed up his window decorations or something | 18:53 |

| anirudh0 | Saladin, open a terminal..type metacity --replace | 18:53 |
| choudesh | chrols, press ctrl on the screen and look at the KeySym that if gives you...so, CTRL+PGUP is PRIOR | 18:54 |
| anirudh0 | !pulse | linny | 18:54 |
| ubottu | linny: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 18:54 |

| linny | thank you | 18:54 |
| Saladin | Yes, that is the command! Thank you! I had forgotten it. | 18:54 |
| linny | ill check it out now | 18:54 |
| Xcell | !sound | linny | 18:54 |
| ubottu | linny: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 18:54 |
| afallenhope | how can I chown an entire directory? Because I want to chown my /home/afallenhope | 18:55 |
| chrols | choudesh: Is xkeysmap right? Doesn't seem to be in my repositories | 18:55 |
| Saladin | Also, my other question was about the fact Ubuntu is asking me to reinstall all my upgrade files... Any ideas why? | 18:55 |
| t35t0r | dmix | 18:55 |
| choudesh | chrols, xkeycaps | 18:55 |
| choudesh | chrols, sorry. Then just add the key combo into ~/.Xmodmap | 18:55 |
| anirudh0 | Saladin, please clarify the question.."reinstall upgrade files" | 18:55 |
| Ahadiel | afallenhope, it's either chown -R or -r | 18:56 |

| Solaris444 | oh. | 18:56 |
| anirudh0 | Solaris444, y | 18:56 |
| Solaris444 | that's odd because it didn't work. | 18:56 |
| Solaris444 | hold on let me check again | 18:57 |
| neurobuntu | Solaris444 try | less | 18:57 |
| Saladin | anirudh0: Basically, it is telling me that there are updates available, and all of them are the upgrade files... When I tried to install them, it says something about an incomplete upgrade, then won't allow the updates to properly install. | 18:57 |
| kreib | no didnt loose grub after installing. installed xp on another disk, ubuntu still boots fine | 18:57 |
| Khisanth | philsf: you can't edit the page? | 18:57 |
| lordleemo | croatia 2 germany 1 | 18:57 |
| philsf | Khisanth: I could, but don't have the time right now. | 18:57 |
| ASULutzy | neurobuntu: I use gmail just fine with evolution | 18:57 |
| anirudh0 | Saladin, do dist-upgrade instead of upgrade | 18:57 |
| kreib | xp is on the second drive o nthe first partition | 18:57 |
| philsf | Khisanth: however, I think it's an important issue | 18:57 |
| anirudh0 | neurobuntu, ports open? | 18:58 |
| neurobuntu | ASULutzy, do you ever get password problems? I frequently have to renter my password several times, | 18:58 |
| kreib | I tried root hd(1,0) | 18:58 |
| neurobuntu | I mean it works 75% of the time | 18:58 |
| anirudh0 | philsf, think or know? | 18:58 |
| ASULutzy | neurobuntu: Nope? | 18:58 |
| unavailable | rockstar right click on the one thats there (if you have the bottom one still) and select add new panel | 18:58 |
| Saladin | anirudh0: I did an upgrade the day Hardy came out, and it has only in the past few days shown this thing. Which is why I am so confused. | 18:58 |
| afallenhope | most of all my files in /home/afallenhope are part of group "root" so should I just change the group to afallenhope? | 18:58 |
| philsf | anirudh0: know | 18:58 |
| Solaris444 | hmmm | 18:59 |
| Solaris444 | I need to rebuild my reiserfs tree but fsck won't run. | 18:59 |
| anirudh0 | philsf, i think version history is shown on the wiki..find out who wrote it, then mail and clarify | 18:59 |
| anirudh0 | philsf, imho | 18:59 |
| FuRom | Anyone know of an equivalent for "actual search and replace"? I need to search through a crap load of text documents. =/ | 18:59 |
| Solaris444 | I tried: fsck -r -t reiserfs /dev/hda3 --rebuild-tree | 18:59 |
| Solaris444 | that didn't seem to work. | 18:59 |

| cameo357 | is there a newbie channel? | 19:05 |
| choudesh | chrols, as I am getting told - there are some keys that cannot be modified if you only have a software-based keyboard vs hardware-based | 19:06 |
| anirudh0 | camason, this is supposed to be it :) | 19:06 |
| rsk_ | cameo357: there's a newbie part on the forum, dunno about irc thou | 19:06 |

| cameo357 | messed up a partition can't undo mistake | 19:07 |
| unclemike | how good is 8.04 runing.Sence the new release ? | 19:07 |
| chrols | choudesh: The effect I wish to achieve is to retain all shortcuts as they are under qwerty while using another keymap for typing | 19:08 |
| ASULutzy | cameo357: If you've already rewrote the partition table then any old data that was on there is effectively gone. If you just need to repartition a disk, then that's not that hard to do | 19:08 |
| tmptmp | Invade1: same way you make a desktop shortcut to anything else? | 19:08 |
| ompaul | cameo357, you are a little short on info. type lots on one line it is easier to follow than little things here and there | 19:09 |
| cameo357 | how? | 19:09 |

| cameo357 | should i give it a name, like /root | 19:10 |
| tripps | looked through /var/log/dist-upgrade and see where it removed apache2,etc. and seemed like it would be replaced but never did | 19:10 |
| ASULutzy | cameo357: I guess the first thing to do would be to check how your drives are actually partitioned. You can find this by doing sudo fdisk -l in a terminal | 19:11 |
| cameo357 | ok | 19:11 |
| ASULutzy | cameo357: That's a lowercase L | 19:11 |
| choudesh | chrols, it can be solved in software - but in a different way - if there is a combo that doesn't have a modifier it look for a keypress and keyrelease | 19:11 |
| fbc | Hello all! Just one question. What language do I need to learn to make GTK2 apps for ubuntu? | 19:11 |
| tmptmp | Invade1: try making a shellscript that executes your command, and place it on the desktop. or do a plain symlink to it on the desktop. | 19:11 |
| choudesh | chrols, so you can have CTRL+PGUP, by looking if CTRL is down and has not been released then PGUP is press | 19:12 |
| Invade1 | tmptmp: In my launcher, the command I have written is "/usr/local/games/quake3/ChallengeQuake3.i386". | 19:12 |
| unavailable | asulutzy with fdisk is there a switch -i?? | 19:12 |
| unavailable | asulutzy or -I or -1? | 19:13 |
| ASULutzy | unavailable: I said sudo fdisk -l, as in lowercase L | 19:13 |
| choudesh | chrols, look @ System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts - this gives a software to do it. Since you don't have a hardware based keyboard where you can add self-defined modifiers you may be out of luck | 19:13 |
| choudesh | chrols, there are software solutions out there but not as low level as xev/xorg | 19:13 |
| unavailable | asulutzy yes and i am merely asking if there is an -i -I or -1 | 19:13 |
| cameo357 | asulu it didn't work | 19:13 |
| cameo357 | command not found | 19:13 |
| chrols | choudesh: What sort of solutions? | 19:13 |
| ASULutzy | unavailable: I don't think there is, but case in point here, people type it wrong and then say command not found | 19:14 |

| chori | can anyone help me get my ati radeon card to work with two screens? | 19:38 |
| justme | if you got CRAP SOURCE mp3 is enought | 19:39 |

| Ktron | zewb, did you make the flac from the mp3, or the mp3 from the flac? | 19:39 |
| ASULutzy | zewb: Either you're deaf, or you decided to convert a 128 kbps mp3 into FLAC, which of course is pointless. You need a high quality source, then the difference is clear as day. | 19:39 |
| enaner | pen supposedly its already installed ... shud i reinstall? | 19:39 |
| Viden | I have a lot of errors when i boot my system .. what log file will those be located in ? | 19:39 |

| zewb | Boards of Canada | 19:39 |
| ASULutzy | zewb: Well, that leaves the option of you being deaf I guess (: | 19:39 |
| zewb | the mp3 came from a torrent | 19:40 |
| joaopinto | ksbalaji, you need to use a live cd, create the partion, move or the data and set the new mount point on /etc/fstab | 19:40 |
| Ktron | zewb, CD is only 160 kbps? or 192 kbps? | 19:40 |
| justme | Ktron, CD is crap ^^ | 19:40 |
| justme | that's enough said | 19:40 |

| justme | if you encode from a CD | 19:40 |
| justme | mp3 is best | 19:40 |
| justme | FLAC is nonsense for CD | 19:40 |
| zewb | its not just with this song | 19:40 |
| zewb | i find flac files all over | 19:40 |
| stabbyjoe12 | enaner cheers me dears:) | 19:40 |
| ASULutzy | zewb: This is starting to sound like weak trolling. | 19:41 |
| zewb | and they never have any noticeable difference in sound quality | 19:41 |
| pen | enaner, go to menu system|preference|Advanced desktop effect setting | 19:41 |
| zewb | the only difference i noticed is that the flac takes up a lot more space | 19:41 |
| ksbalaji | joaopinto, I want to shift the folder. I do not want to resize the existing partition. I also have XP and once It gave trouble while resizing partition. I want XP untill WINE becomes robust. | 19:41 |
| justme | lol zewb | 19:41 |
| pen | enaner, look for show desktop icon | 19:41 |

| Viden | I have a lot of errors when i boot my system .. what log file will those be located in ? | 19:41 |
| justme | ASULutzy, well 320 kbit mp3 and FLAC does not make much difference - right ? | 19:41 |
| zewb | im just seeing if anyone else notices a difference in sound quality | 19:41 |

| NewfieLinux | Well because Its just pointless | 19:44 |
| ASULutzy | justme: It's a bit offtopic, but the fact of the matter is that FLAC is lossless, mp3 is lossy. At that high of a bitrate you might not be able to hear a noticeable difference, but for archiving purposes lossless >> lossy | 19:44 |
| SAGA | please tell me the packages that are needed | 19:44 |
| enaner | pen mines set with that by default | 19:44 |

| NetEcho | hi there, windows overwrote my grub install and when I went to boot the livecd to repair it, its flooding me with thousands of SquashFS errors | 19:45 |

| gordonjcp | enaner: you can install deluge from synaptic, or with "sudo apt-get install deluge" | 19:50 |
| turbo_ | gordonjcp: transmission isn't bad. | 19:50 |

| turbo_ | gordonjcp: isn't it there by default? | 19:51 |
| gordonjcp | LogiTech: notebooks tend to be a bit rubbish for gaming, because they're more about saving power and weight | 19:51 |
| gordonjcp | turbo_: quite possibly | 19:51 |
| Sonicadvance | Less you get an XPS from Dell | 19:51 |
| soundray | Sonicadvance: probably parents whose children have a track record of ruining their parents' computers. | 19:51 |
| ksbalaji | joaopinto, how to set a new mount point on /etc/fstab? can I copy the folder and use the same name i.e.: /usr and /home pl? | 19:51 |
| NetEcho | Sonicadvance the ones that are afraid their kid will get too smart and end up limiting their parents use of computers severely? lol | 19:51 |
| biff_tannen | mhoney: no it doesn't? | 19:51 |
| NetEcho | Sonicadvance although the XPS laptop is a gaming laptop the thing gets horribly hot if you game on iot | 19:51 |
| NetEcho | -o | 19:51 |
| turbo_ | F*** Dell, they need to keep the alienware line the same as it is | 19:51 |
| NetEcho | bad for the hardware | 19:51 |
| Sonicadvance | ah, I live in a family where each person has their own PC :P | 19:52 |
| enaner | gordonjcp: thnx ... do u also prefer deluge? | 19:52 |
| biff_tannen | mhoney: where? | 19:52 |
| mhoney | biff: is the mount location Time drive or just Time? | 19:52 |
| soundray | turbo_: please behave professionally in this channel | 19:52 |

| biff_tannen | mhoney: time | 19:52 |
| NetEcho | much like I did when I was younger lol | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | enaner: the good thing is you *can* try all these different things, and pick one you like | 19:52 |
| LogiTech | gordonjcp but newer notebooks like XPS M1530 and acer 5920 are for gaming...they can even run crysis on medium quality.. | 19:52 |
| biff_tannen | mhoney: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/Time: No such file or directory | 19:53 |
| mhoney | biff: try this "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt -o force" | 19:53 |
| thehurley | right now i'm running kernel 2.6.24-16, update manager is offering to install 2.6.24-18, if I do install 2.6.24-18, if I do install, will there be an option to boot 2.6.24-16 and 2.6.24-18 from the grub boot loader, or will I just get 2.6.24-18? | 19:53 |
| NetEcho | LogiTech I have an XPS and at the heat that is caused by those suckers when gaming I don't use it for gaming | 19:53 |
| NetEcho | it will burn the hardware out in no-time | 19:53 |
| gordonjcp | Sonicadvance: I'd assume a parent that didn't want their child to end up with a well-paid job in computing wouldn't want them to use Linux | 19:53 |
| turbo_ | biff_tannen: mkdir /media/Time | 19:53 |
| enaner | gordonjcp: lets test this out ... ne movie recommendations? | 19:53 |

| enaner | HardDisk: sounds perfect | 19:56 |
| justme | gordonjcp, right | 19:56 |
| puff | thehurley: However, to answer your question, yes, you should get the option to boot earlier kernels. You should be able to boot any kernel that lives in /boot. The grub menu will usually only list the most recent two or three, if you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a line: howmany=all, this will ensure that it lits all of the kernels in the grub menu. | 19:56 |
| NetEcho | soundray I didn't burn this its an official disk | 19:56 |
| soundray | NetEcho: unless your CD-ROM drive is failing | 19:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho if and when you get a fd0 error wait, you will get it again, and eventually it should finish booting | 20:00 |
| biff_tannen | NickGarvey: any ideas? | 20:00 |
| mhoney | biff: Sorry, I'm not sure on that problem ;( | 20:00 |
| pen | anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? | 20:00 |
| biff_tannen | mhoney: np ty anywyas | 20:00 |
| huevolin1990 | ok thanks tobi1222, if i don't find a solution i'll tell u | 20:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | noapic acpi=off | 20:00 |
| huevolin1990 | :) | 20:00 |
| NickGarvey | biff_tannen: yeah see I just ran an update, rebooted my computer and it worked | 20:00 |
| NickGarvey | biff_tannen: not sure if the update helped | 20:00 |

| === rhys is now known as Rhys` | ||
| olskolirc | Can anyone tell me how I can get my sound card to play more than one source at a time on Gutsy? It used too until I reinstalled. | 20:00 |
| NetEcho | Jack_Sparrow ok wasn't sure if apic was a typo | 20:00 |
| HardDisk | olskolirc, just a change of names and versions. | 20:00 |
| tobi1222 | Anybody knows of a plugin that doesnt go with opengl and maybe use software sprites for csx2? | 20:00 |
| red22 | HardDisk: i thought there'd be some smaller footprint cool oss solution for pdf reading and bookmarking.. the adobe reader at least can create bookmarks? | 20:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho understood | 20:01 |
| tobi1222 | pcsx2* | 20:01 |
| biff_tannen | NickGarvey: this has had several reboots | 20:01 |
| soundray | thehurley: it's just a metapackage. It won't have any consequences, until you try a release upgrade. Then you should install the package and its dependencies again. | 20:01 |
| olskolirc | ok HardDisk | 20:01 |
| NetEcho | so far so good | 20:01 |
| unavailable | kaldor right click add to panel notification area | 20:01 |
| biff_tannen | NickGarvey: it finds the ntfs drive ok | 20:01 |
| tobi1222 | huevolin1990: just email me at tobi-fp@hotmail.com | 20:01 |
| HardDisk | red22, I believe so. let me check now | 20:01 |
| pen | anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? | 20:01 |
| soundray | thehurley: metapackage = package that consists of dependencies, without any data of its own | 20:01 |
| Rhys` | Ooo, this isn't good. Just hit a keyboard shortcut by accident and everything changed to inverted colours. Any ideas how to turn this off? :P | 20:01 |
| NetEcho | Jack_Sparrow any idea what causes squashfs errors? | 20:01 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: spaushfs errors? in what sense? I just had those and overcome them! | 20:02 |
| thehurley | soundray ok, good to know | 20:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho I can only guess that the advanced programmable interrupt copntroller is causing issues | 20:02 |
| NetEcho | ah | 20:02 |
| thehurley | soundray but, whats the point of a package that doesn't contain any data? | 20:02 |
| icltlfatppl | Anyone know why libnspr4 has changed its name in Hardy? | 20:02 |
| HardDisk | red22, hmm I don't see that option | 20:02 |
| NetEcho | seems to have gotten past squashfs loading this time | 20:02 |
| NetEcho | crap | 20:03 |
| NetEcho | there they are again | 20:03 |
| soundray | thehurley: its value is in the dependencies that it installs. | 20:03 |
| strtok | anyone know what happened to edgy's repos? i'm getting tons of 404s now on the security repo | 20:03 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: in what sense | 20:03 |
| NetEcho | unable to read page, block *, size 9e9* | 20:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho Just a guess.. the two things I am having you add are the two most common changes I make to get a system to boot | 20:03 |
| ASULutzy | strtok: Edgy is no longer supported. You need to upgrade distros | 20:03 |
| NetEcho | biff_tannen trying to re-install grub or re-install ubuntu completely | 20:03 |
| strtok | ahhhh | 20:03 |
| nickrud | !eol | strtok (this is edgy) | 20:03 |
| ubottu | strtok (this is edgy): End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 20:03 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: are you trying to boot or install? | 20:03 |
| strtok | ASULutzy: okay, no problem | 20:03 |
| icltlfatppl | It is now libnspr4-0d, and I can't get ldconfig to recognize it as libnspr4, even if I copy the 0d version to libnspr4. | 20:03 |
| strtok | thanks | 20:03 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: right. my advice | 20:03 |
| soundray | thehurley: think of it as a bundle that makes it possible to install a bunch of related packages in one go. Other examples are build-essential and xubuntu-desktop | 20:03 |
| HardDisk | !upgrade | strtok | 20:03 |
| ubottu | strtok: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 20:03 |
| strtok | HardDisk: thanks, that's useful | 20:04 |
| NetEcho | biff_tannen sorry didn't catch it | 20:04 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: have you got an xp disc | 20:04 |
| HardDisk | :) | 20:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho is this a laptop or desktop | 20:04 |
| NetEcho | biff_tannen sure dop | 20:04 |
| NetEcho | -p | 20:04 |
| NetEcho | laptop | 20:04 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: do you ahve an UBCD? | 20:04 |
| justme | theoretically it is possible to patch 4.10 up to 8.04 ? | 20:04 |
| justme | right oO ? | 20:04 |
| red22 | HardDisk: ok thanks for checking... a yr ago i tried it and the free version didn't allow bookmark editing. it really boggles me that some open format with a great oss reader with full editing has never taken off. | 20:04 |
| justme | (4.10 -> 5.04 ans so on) | 20:04 |
| HardDisk | 4.10 O.o | 20:04 |
| justme | and* | 20:04 |
| NetEcho | Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 both 32-bit and 64-bit | 20:04 |
| justme | HardDisk, just THEORETICALLY | 20:04 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: ok.. format the drive then reinstall ubuntu evertyhing should work | 20:04 |
| ompaul | justme, it will break | 20:04 |
| choudesh | justme, would be faster just to reinstall. | 20:04 |
| NetEcho | biff_tannen trying to | 20:04 |
| HardDisk | justme, no it will break :) | 20:05 |
| justme | I dont have this case right now | 20:05 |
| justme | was just an idea ^^ | 20:05 |
| NetEcho | I clicked install ubuntu and now its flooding me with squashfs errors | 20:05 |
| biff_tannen | NetEcho: format using dos or recovery format c: | 20:05 |
| Viden | All ... I am seeing a lot of errors when i boot my linux box, but i cant seem to find the log file that contains them .. i thought it would be messages or syslog, but no signs of what i see at bootup in those logs | 20:05 |
| NetEcho | ah | 20:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen you might want to read back before jumping in with advice | 20:05 |
| soundray | NetEcho: did you check the CD integrity? | 20:05 |
| NetEcho | independant format | 20:05 |
| Richrd | Hello | 20:05 |
| hoens | if i don't have anything specifically mounted to /home, but i have a new hd and want that to be /home, how can i do that? | 20:05 |
| NetEcho | soundray yes | 20:05 |
| strtok | HardDisk: haha, it won't let me install update-manager-core - i get the same 404s | 20:05 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: yeah but i think that will help | 20:05 |
| hoens | can i just change fstab and it will move all of /home there? or should i remove everything in original /home? | 20:05 |
| Richrd | Can I ask for some assistance here? | 20:05 |
| unavailable | netecho does the disk have scratches or hair?? | 20:05 |
| HardDisk | strtok, check your connection..? | 20:05 |
| huevolin1990 | please i need help from someone to delete files in the trashcan | 20:05 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: if it doesnt spank me | 20:06 |
| NetEcho | unavailable checking that now just to be sure | 20:06 |
| icltlfatppl | Is there a channel for developers? I think my question scrolled off screen in under 60 seconds. | 20:06 |
| soundray | Richrd: if it's ubuntu-related, then yes | 20:06 |
| strtok | HardDisk: it's getting a 404 | 20:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen the format on the hd has nothing to do with why he cant boot the cd that worked beofre | 20:06 |
| strtok | so my connection is fine - because it got a 404 | 20:06 |
| strtok | :P | 20:06 |
| huevolin1990 | i don't know why i can't delete them | 20:06 |
| HardDisk | lol | 20:06 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: yeah YOUD THINK | 20:06 |
| Rhys` | Accidentally switched into some sort of accessibility mode for visually impaired users with a keyboard shortcut (inverted colours), any ideas how to turn it off? | 20:06 |
| HardDisk | strtok, different mirror maybe? | 20:06 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: I JUST HAD THE SAME ISSUE | 20:06 |
| thehurley | right, i get you | 20:06 |
| NetEcho | I'll try cleaning the disk | 20:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen stop yelling | 20:06 |
| ompaul | strtok, yeap, download a new CD burn it and work from there having backed up your data | 20:06 |
| strtok | HardDisk: i'm using us.archive.ubuntu.com | 20:06 |
| strtok | ompaul: hrm, thanks | 20:06 |
| strtok | that's kind of silly to just remove the archive | 20:07 |
| strtok | even though it's not supported | 20:07 |
| NetEcho | hrm there is a few small bits of dirt and possibly oil | 20:07 |
| NetEcho | that could do it | 20:07 |
| HardDisk | strtok, as ompaul said. | 20:07 |
| unavailable | netecho yep | 20:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho it doesnt take much.. | 20:07 |
| Richrd | yes, I think its related :). I need to get two mice working so that one is inverted and the other is normal. I tried to modifie xorg.conf to do this but I didnt get it to work, either only one worked or none. Can somebody help me? | 20:07 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: it was weird but it helped. it wouldn't load the live cd it asked for password formatted and all was ok | 20:07 |
| olskolirc | Can anyone tell me how I can get my sound card to play more than one source at a time on Gutsy? It used too until I reinstalled. | 20:07 |
| soundray | Richrd: inverted? | 20:07 |
| pen | anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? | 20:07 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: always expect the unexpected | 20:08 |
| HardDisk | olskolirc, were you usin Jack? | 20:08 |
| HardDisk | olskolirc, you can do that anyway by running two players | 20:08 |
| turbo_ | olskolirc: alsa? | 20:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen I have been doing this for awhile, I know quite a few tricks | 20:08 |
| olskolirc | no HardDisk I don't know what that is. I use alsa | 20:08 |
| olskolirc | yes turbo_ | 20:08 |
| HardDisk | olskolirc, pulseaudio may be broken change your settings to alsa | 20:08 |
| turbo_ | Alsa should anythong through your speakers | 20:08 |
| Richrd | well, I want the other mouse to have the "InvX" option set to "on" so that when I move it left the pointer moves right and vice-versa | 20:08 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: i know you've helped me many times under a different guise | 20:08 |
| turbo_ | multiple outputs... | 20:08 |
| olskolirc | oh I done use pulseaudio | 20:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen ban evading.. good to know | 20:08 |
| olskolirc | oh HardDisk my settings are on alsa | 20:09 |
| ksbalaji | How to set a new mount point on /etc/fstab for system folders in another partition? can I copy a folder from filesystem partition and use the same name? i.e.: /usr and /home pl? | 20:09 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: just letting you know that that is the 1st time I ever had that issue and it helped | 20:09 |
| turbo_ | it can make things sound real messy....but mpltiple sources output sound | 20:09 |
| olskolirc | I can't even hear web pages when im listening to music | 20:09 |
| huevolin1990 | please i need help to delete files from the trashcan. The computer says they have been deleted but they continue there | 20:09 |
| justme | just to know, is anybody in this channel working in a company that uses Ubuntu or in general Linux on the Clients? | 20:09 |
| HardDisk | Dear olskolirc, check your sound settings via the player you're using then, between alsa and oss | 20:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen I have actually seen that happen before, but prefer to check the basics | 20:09 |
| NetEcho | Jack_Sparrow I know dirt can be a pain | 20:09 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: squshfs error during install = reformat | 20:09 |
| olskolirc | ok | 20:09 |
| stabbyjoe12 | wo to you force qui an application | 20:09 |
| turbo_ | justme: i do | 20:09 |
| HardDisk | justme, yes sir. | 20:09 |
| stabbyjoe12 | quit* | 20:09 |
| justme | are they happy with it ? | 20:10 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: k ;) I won't conest | 20:10 |

| turbo_ | justme: i create specialized linux systems for work environments | 20:10 |
| biff_tannen | contest | 20:10 |
| NetEcho | Jack_Sparrow hopefully that was the cause | 20:10 |
| HardDisk | justme, and one company recently are running ubuntu completely. | 20:10 |
| NetEcho | I'd hate to have to re-do my install | 20:10 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: I already know you know WAY more than me ;) | 20:10 |
| pub | how would i go about finding a dir? i am tring find <dir> but its showing up no dir exists or it is invalid etc... but i just installed it via sudo apt-get intsall <dir> | 20:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NetEcho I often clean the lens with 30% alcohol solution | 20:10 |
| turbo_ | justme: why do you asj? | 20:10 |
| justme | HardDisk and turbo_ good to hear there are some companies that are not insane running windows ^^ | 20:10 |
| hoens | if i want to add a new partition as my /home partition, is there anything specific i need to do to migrate all of my users? | 20:10 |
| soundray | Richrd: you'd need a multipointer X server. Integrating this in Ubuntu is under discussion, but not done yet. | 20:11 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: so how do i get my usb working lol | 20:11 |
| justme | turbo_, just interested - my school runs Windows XP and on some PCs Vista | 20:11 |

| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: i know bro - much love | 20:11 |
| HardDisk | justme, I also live in Egypt, one of the biggest piracy places, but when you make a good presentation and show them how opensource is better on the long run they will listen and ignore propriety software. | 20:11 |

| niocholas_jones | really? | 20:12 |
| turbo_ | niocholas_jones: why xmms? | 20:12 |
| niocholas_jones | it's like winamp :P | 20:12 |
| olskolirc | its back on alsa and everything is fine :-) | 20:13 |

| niocholas_jones | what is the alternative ? | 20:13 |
| justme | ^^ | 20:13 |
| NetEcho | Jack_Sparrow can you point me to the link for re-installing grub , I seem to have closed the windows | 20:13 |

| HardDisk | niocholas_jones, xmm2 is now the new one, use a GUI frontend there are many options | 20:13 |
| niocholas_jones | what's most like winamp ? | 20:13 |
| NetEcho | thanks | 20:13 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: no entry in fdisk | 20:13 |
| Richrd | soundray: I mean that I only want one pointer and two mice to control it with. They just need different settings. | 20:13 |
| HardDisk | niocholas_jones, or use audacious its closer. | 20:13 |
| niocholas_jones | HardDisk, yea I installed xmms2, but there is no GUI | 20:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen Lets try a few things.. one sec | 20:13 |
| HardDisk | niocholas_jones, you have to install the GUI separately, check the xmms2 website for a whole bunch of GUI choices | 20:14 |
| HardDisk | niocholas_jones, or just go with audacious | 20:14 |
| turbo_ | its too bad the people can't get over bad habits... | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | hrm interesting | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | I'll try audacios | 20:14 |
| turbo_ | audacious is good. | 20:14 |
| HardDisk | :) | 20:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biff_tannen lsusb, lspci lshw to list detected hardware... try sudo /etc/init.d/hal start to try and get a usb drive recognized.. | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | alright installing.. | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | installed.. | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | trying.. | 20:14 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | oh cool | 20:14 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: 2 secs | 20:14 |
| niocholas_jones | this is like winamp as well :) | 20:15 |
| niocholas_jones | I like this | 20:15 |
| niocholas_jones | neat | 20:15 |
| niocholas_jones | thanks guys | 20:15 |
| turbo_ | that was the point... | 20:15 |
| niocholas_jones | :P | 20:15 |

| justme | how long is NORMAL support cycle (not long term support) ? | 20:15 |
| justme | 2 years? | 20:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !eol | 20:15 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 20:15 |
| turbo_ | .....who supports ubuntu | 20:15 |
| turbo_ | :) | 20:15 |
| ssn | hi guys | 20:16 |
| turbo_ | support is until the next release comes out | 20:16 |
| HardDisk | yep | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | turbo_ wrong.. | 20:16 |
| turbo_ | lts just maintains support through all new distributions | 20:16 |
| HardDisk | support is dependent on the cycle | 20:16 |
| ASULutzy | turbo_: Hardy is LTS | 20:16 |
| turbo_ | well... 6 years.. | 20:16 |
| pub | odd-rationale, do you have any experience with snort? or anyone else that does | 20:16 |
| HardDisk | in 6 years I'll have at least 3 kids :) | 20:17 |
| turbo_ | but Feisty and Gutsy arent.... | 20:17 |
| bobstro | pub: you're still at it i see! | 20:17 |
| pen | anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? | 20:17 |
| pub | haha, hey bobstro | 20:17 |
| strtok | aye | 20:17 |
| justme | pub, yes it writes EXTREMELY BIG logs | 20:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | turbo Ubuntu releases are supported for 18 months. Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) releases are supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 20:17 |
| justme | ^^ | 20:17 |
| justme | (snort) | 20:17 |
| bobstro | pub: your firewall all happy now? | 20:17 |
| ssn | in ubuntu 8.04, i used the properities dialog of a partition to set the mount point. unfortunatly, i gave it a / at the beginning, now the disk does not mount because it doesnt like /. how do i get rid of this? | 20:17 |
| strtok | if a distro is dropped in support, someone should leave behind the update-manager-core package for the release being dropped | 20:17 |
| the_eraser | anyone into packages? | 20:17 |
| strtok | so at least people can still upgrade | 20:17 |
| strtok | :P | 20:17 |
| turbo_ | thats what it was...5 years... | 20:17 |
| pub | no bobstro, it doesn't start up with fluxbox | 20:17 |
| NetEcho | Jack_Sparrow how do I tell which hd0,* entry is my XP? | 20:17 |
| bobstro | pub: ugh. did you try the iptables-save stuff? | 20:18 |
| LogiTech | is any1 here who got XPS M1530 for gaming...pm me pls... | 20:18 |
| NetEcho | I know its a bit different then in lilo | 20:18 |
| strtok | or update-manager-core should be a core package | 20:18 |
| HardDisk | strtok, you had ample time to upgrade. | 20:18 |
| turbo_ | NetEcho: fdisk look for ntfs partition | 20:18 |
| HardDisk | strtok, you decided to upgrade after the cycle ended :/ | 20:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | strtok You change your sources list to the next release in the series and you can distro-upgrade to it | 20:18 |
| NetEcho | turbo_ sda1 would be hd0,0 right? | 20:18 |
| pub | bobstro, not yet i have to read much about it, snort installed to a random dir not /.snort | 20:18 |
| ASULutzy | distro upgrades sometimes go smoothly, sometimes not so smoothly | 20:18 |
| turbo_ | oh, | 20:18 |
| spiritsmoke | Can anyone explain how to change dir in the command line ....... I'm trying to point alien to a file on my desktop to change the .rpm files to .deb | 20:18 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19701/ | 20:18 |
| HardDisk | distro-upgrade will work though, but it may break | 20:18 |
| turbo_ | it will be. | 20:18 |
| bobstro | pub: snort's a big jump! :) | 20:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Edgy Distro upgrade... edit /etc/apt/sources, change all edgy to feisty, apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:19 |
| biff_tannen | Jack_Sparrow: brb | 20:19 |
| NetEcho | turbo_ so if XP is sda3 it'll be hd0,2? | 20:19 |
| ASULutzy | spiritsmoke: use cd? | 20:19 |
| hoens | how do i get a console only login? | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 20:19 |
| unavailable | spiritsmoke cd dirtochangeto | 20:19 |
| pub | bobstro, hehe so where should i start first? iptables or snort | 20:19 |
| bobstro | hoens: permanently, or just one session? | 20:19 |
| strtok | maybe that will get my update-manager-core at least? | 20:19 |
| strtok | :P | 20:19 |
| hoens | just 1 session bobstro | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spiritsmoke alien is a bad thing to do to your pc | 20:19 |
| HardDisk | strtok, but be prepared to have your system possibly break. | 20:19 |

| turbo_ | ugh... | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !alien | 20:19 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 20:19 |
| pub | bobstro, no problem talk to you later? | 20:19 |
| HardDisk | strtok, which is why it's better to do a clean install | 20:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | pen You do need to slow down the repeats.. it isnt a common question | 20:24 |
| turbo_ | you want it automatically mounted? | 20:25 |
| ssn | turbo_: i want gnome to not argue with me | 20:25 |
| pen | HardDisk, I did, I tried btnx but it's not what I want | 20:25 |
| HardDisk | hmm | 20:25 |
| pen | HardDisk, using udev rules only fix the event but can't make it hotplug | 20:25 |
| turbo_ | set it in fstab... | 20:25 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, oh | 20:25 |
| ssn | but there is no way to correct the mount point in gnome, because i can only do that when its mounted | 20:25 |
| ssn | turbo_: ok | 20:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen thanks | 20:25 |
| pen | Flare183, thx for reminding the second time | 20:25 |
| Buyydee | Hey, is there a backup programme that can produce backups of all partitions (including windows etc) and has a boot function in case my system won't start? | 20:25 |
| Flare183 | pen: no problem | 20:26 |
| pen | Flare183, do you then know the answer? | 20:26 |
| turbo_ | or...do a restart, and mount it correctly... | 20:26 |
| turbo_ | if it isn't mounted at boot it should be clean at boot... | 20:26 |
| lch | I want to automatically run a script whenever the network interface changes its IP address, where can I do that? | 20:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Buyydee there are many ways to backup your system... most would require you boot to a second os or a live cd | 20:26 |
| stodan | have you any idea what might cause huge delay (30-60 secs before grub menu and 5 mins after menu, but before "Starting up...") while booting from external harddrive (usb 250gb) | 20:26 |
| * Flare183 doesn't know the question (hehe) | 20:26 | |
| pen | Flare183, evdev will unload if it can't found a device then I don't knwo how to load that manually to make mouse work | 20:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ssn Are you in ubuntu now | 20:27 |
| pen | HardDisk, do you know how to load such module? | 20:27 |
| turbo_ | stodan: make sure your boot priority is set properly | 20:27 |
| ssn | Jack_Sparrow: yes | 20:27 |
| turbo_ | stodan: sorry didn't read the question | 20:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stodan It often helps to remove "splash" from your grub boot command line | 20:27 |
| Buyydee | Jack_Sparrow: OK, I just wondered if there is one which can do incremental ones running in the background, so I have to do nothing manually ^^. I have a proper backup programme by O&O, so I'm going to use that one. Thanks anyway | 20:28 |
| HardDisk | pen, apparently btnx is the way to go with hardy | 20:28 |
| stodan | i might add that when i installed fresh system it worked ok | 20:28 |
| HardDisk | pen, http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ | 20:28 |

| nDuff | wols_, that's no fun; I was hoping that if I did an "apt-get source", there'd be an easy way to modify the relevant parameters and build a new package. | 20:35 |
| wols_ | stodan: menu.lst the timeout | 20:35 |
| ASULutzy | LogiTech: Higher clock speed is always better right :) Though L2 cache matters too | 20:35 |

| nDuff | wols_, the current upstream code works fine; I'm specifically interested in debugging the ubuntu package as patched. | 20:36 |
| atb2008 | any ideas bringatowel if it cant find the package? | 20:36 |
| HardDisk | stodan, fsck the drives unmounted, and double check it | 20:36 |
| HardDisk | stodan, also see if they are both ext3 or one is ext2 (which will be slightly slower) | 20:36 |
| wols_ | atb2008: nvidia-glx-new or such. the normal nvidia drivers | 20:36 |
| wols_ | !nvidia | atb2008 | 20:36 |
| ubottu | atb2008: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:36 |
| nDuff | wols_, ahh, yeah. I'm not exceptionally familiar w/ debian's packaging, but as long as there's a little documentation re which switches need to be flipped pre-rebuild, that shouldn't be so bad. | 20:36 |
| wols_ | HardDisk: ext2 is FASTER than ext2 | 20:36 |
| bringatowel | atb2008, go to System -> Admin -> Software Sources and enable "Universe" (and proprietary drivers too if you want) | 20:36 |

| ASULutzy | HardDisk: ext3 > ext2 though. With ext2 you have to run fsck after every single improper shutdown. To heck with that ;) | 20:37 |
| wols_ | HardDisk: yes I am sure: ext3 is ext2+journallng. the journaling isn't free... | 20:37 |
| wols_ | ksbalaji: yes. use cp -a tho | 20:38 |

| stodan | HardDisk, both drives are brand new, /boot is 512mb, everything ext3, after Starting up... message it works like a charm, it broke, when i cp -a / /target from my old drive (preserving fstab and menu.lst) | 20:38 |

| ASULutzy | LogiTech: The intel card will work for all 2d stuff, and you'll be able to use compiz too. But if you plan on playing lots of 3d games, you'll need the Nvidia | 20:42 |

| Odeesi | wols_: well, unfortunately hardy is not an option for me as you cannot install plesk for example | 20:43 |
| HardDisk | LogiTech, the X3100 for example will play a lot of games without a glitch, but don't expect heavy intensive FPS games like fear or crysis to play on full gfx :) | 20:43 |
| sparky01 | wols_, the new nvidia one from the repos | 20:43 |
| wols_ | sparky01: that one should work just fine. check your logs | 20:43 |
| sparky01 | wols_, how do i find the version again? | 20:43 |
| HardDisk | LogiTech, the x3100 plays fifa08 smoothly for example, and UT2004 so it all depends on your personal needs. | 20:43 |

| ghaleb | hello people, I have a big problem, I'm using Hardy, it acts very slowly because everything returns to the HD the system load indicator is full, I don't know what to do | 20:46 |
| jester7 | does anyone have any idea whether there are plans to update the hardy ISO image to fix the SSH vulnerability? | 20:46 |
| sparky01 | wols_, it wouldnt boot right. keeps going to low graphics mode and then it shows like half the screen. so I booted into recovery mode and did a repair X | 20:46 |
| sparky01 | wols_, so my xorg.conf is default now | 20:46 |
| HardDisk | jester7, 8.04.1 | 20:46 |
| HardDisk | jester7, but you can easily fix that with an apt-get update upgrade | 20:47 |
| HardDisk | jester7, and you can create your own custom ISO if you want. | 20:47 |
| sparky01 | wols_, should I use nvidia-xconfig | 20:47 |
| jester7 | HardDisk: yeah, i realize, but sometimes i use the liveCD for the ssh client | 20:47 |

| simplyubuntu | HardDisk? | 21:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !alien | 21:01 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 21:01 |

| === shelbyscates is now known as bimp | ||
| HardDisk | ASULutzy, most of the time you don't need alien, only use it if you REALLY know what you're doing | 21:01 |
| HardDisk | simplyubuntu, does it work with other apps? | 21:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ASULutzy It can work, it can trash your system.. compiling it yourself is a way better choice | 21:01 |
| bimp | anyone know why scp always denies permission for me? | 21:01 |
| simplyubuntu | HardDisk yup rhythmbox | 21:02 |
| ASULutzy | HardDisk, Jack_Sparrow: Right, I agree. I just thought there was something fundamentally bad about alien that I didn't know about, I don't know that I've ever actually used it for anything, I'd usually just compile from source | 21:02 |
| HardDisk | simplyubuntu, maybe the easiest solution is to remove the .banshee folder in home and try again? | 21:02 |
| simplyubuntu | ASULutzy sorry to interrupt but I know that feeling too :) | 21:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ASULutzy I had a link that told about it.. sticking things in the wrong places etc... messing things up.. | 21:02 |

| ASULutzy | bumbl3b33: Sure I guess. But the same could be said for ssh, does that make it a trojan? | 21:05 |

| simplyubuntu | HardDisk it doesn't look like a config folder | 21:06 |
| bumbl3b33 | unless u try phyton | 21:06 |
| simplyubuntu | just some album covers and a plugin folder | 21:06 |
| ASULutzy | bumbl3b33: How do you figure? a bad password is a bad password. I guess you could use key pairs for ssh, but I assumed that there's a way to do that for VNC as well | 21:07 |

| pen | HardDisk, in the system log, the xorg can unload evdev if it can't detect the mouse, then I think why can't I load the evdev by my own, but modprobe is not one of the choices I think | 21:19 |
| hiptobecubic | wolfenstein rules | 21:19 |
| bumbl3b33 | something like crysis | 21:19 |

| pawpaw | How do I keep VMware server from starting at boot? | 21:24 |

| nano | omposter, with my ubuntu, i can only access the router; however, i cannot have my requests forwarded beyond the router if the mtu size setting on the router is not < 1400 | 21:24 |
| nano | try it! | 21:24 |
| jihedamine | i'm booting ubuntu without usplash and i don't want to see failure messages on every boot, quiet mode isn't enough, how to do please ? | 21:24 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, actually, well, I didn't mean anything just kidding | 21:24 |
| nano | uffo: are you using apt-get | 21:24 |
| fadi | hiptobecubic hahaha | 21:24 |

| uffo | i want only visual usage and NB: i use root account | 21:25 |
| fadi | so any body can help me ! | 21:25 |
| ASULutzy | fadi: Ok, so if it's plugged in, it should automount it. Type sudo fdisk -l in a terminal and use pastebin for the output | 21:25 |
| omposter | I have no idea, ask nano | 21:25 |
| Boohbah_ | Jack_Sparrow: that is why we have emoticons. ;-) | 21:25 |
| uffo | commands are hard to me | 21:25 |
| KyleK | pawpaw: what part of vmware server? theres i think a kernel module and like the daemon, which should just be something in /etc/init.d | 21:25 |
| pen | Boohbah_, O_o | 21:25 |
| pawpaw | not saying MTU couldn't be the problem, just not likely | 21:25 |
| fadi | <ASULutzy> i will try! | 21:25 |
| HardDisk | sorry but I have to take a break, bbiab | 21:25 |
| pawpaw | kylek: just don't use it every time I use the machine so I wanted to shut it off unless I need to run it to save resources.... So maybe the dameon? | 21:26 |
| yesudeep | Noooo! HardDisks should never take breaks. :P | 21:26 |

| nano | pawpaw, well u have heard of win XP SP3 crashing routers haven't you....its not uncommon for routers to be buggy | 21:26 |
| fadi | <ASULutzy> no it view the details of my HD | 21:26 |
| pawpaw | nano: seems unlikely | 21:27 |
| danc3 | danc3: err | 21:27 |
| pawpaw | DHCP is a pretty standard thing | 21:27 |
| ASULutzy | fadi: You just need to mount the drive. It's really not that hard. Just give us the output of sudo fdisk -l so we can tell you how to mount it | 21:27 |
| dottie | How can I install ubuntu8.04 using a floppy disk over the Internet (installs using files from the web)? | 21:27 |
| nano | pawpaw, well they don't call it problem solving for nothing | 21:27 |
| pawpaw | and i've never seen any machines crash a router, without someone trying to do just that | 21:27 |
| ASULutzy | fadi: basically you're going to do sudo mkdir /media/usbdisk and then do sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /media/usbdisk | 21:27 |
| yesudeep | pawpaw: It's UPnP that might be causing router's to reboot. | 21:28 |

| ubottu | randomguy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:28 |
| wols_ | randomguy: you need ndiswrapper | 21:28 |
| uffo | how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library | 21:28 |
| === omposter` is now known as sykopomp` | ||
| pawpaw | yeah, but you should start with the most likely cause.... if all other machines work OK, and then the *nix box doesn't and has to be rebooted to get an address.... seems to me the *nix box would be where to start | 21:28 |
| KyleK | pawpaw: update-rc.d vmware-server(dunno exactly) remove <-- maybe? | 21:28 |
| pawpaw | nano: no offense, just saying | 21:29 |
| wols_ | Pie-rate: no | 21:29 |
| jughead | what;s a program for checking hard drive integrity? | 21:29 |
| randomguy | wols_: ya how do i get that | 21:29 |
| wols_ | jughead: smartmontools | 21:29 |
| wols_ | randomguy: like anything else you want to install in ubuntu | 21:29 |
| sykopomp` | pawpaw: Both the ones I'm testing are linux boxes. | 21:29 |
| pawpaw | kylek: yeah, that stops it from ever coming up though I think | 21:29 |
| KyleK | well you can just /etc/init.d/vmware-server start when you want it | 21:29 |
| sykopomp` | pawpaw: One is Ubuntu, which is the one with the issue, and the other is Arch. | 21:29 |
| nano | pawpaw, none taken, thnx | 21:29 |
| uffo | UBUNTU is quite terror - how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library | 21:29 |
| pawpaw | sykpomp: so you have to reboot the router, or the linux box? | 21:29 |
| JC_Denton_ | guess no one here can help me... off to the forums it is | 21:29 |
| yesudeep | uffo: What error do you see? | 21:29 |
| sykopomp` | pawpaw: the linux box. | 21:29 |
| tomoyuki28jp | Everytime after booting my hardy, the brightness set back to the max. Is there anyway to set the default brightness?? It is pretty annoying :( | 21:30 |
| randomguy | wols_: how, i cant connect to internet... | 21:30 |
| wols_ | uffo: what error does apt show you? | 21:30 |
| sykopomp` | pawpaw: well, the ubuntu box | 21:30 |
| yesudeep | JC_Denton_: Ask your question? | 21:30 |
| joaopinto | uffo, are you getting some error installing it ? How are you installing it ? | 21:30 |
| wols_ | randomguy: if you can't connect to the internet you must be only exist in my imagination here | 21:30 |
| JC_Denton_ | yesudeep trying to run update-manager and an error is returned: ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: symbol png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8, version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0 with link time reference | 21:30 |
| KyleK | pawpaw: well how do you want to control the service then? | 21:30 |
| pawpaw | sykopomp: I would say maybe you could check the scope on the router, see if it is depleted... lease times... etc... that's only thing I could think of off hand on the router. What type or router? | 21:30 |
| randomguy | wols_: i am using diffrent computer | 21:30 |
| pawpaw | Kylek: just don't want it to start at boot, and then if I want to use it manually start it | 21:31 |
| wols_ | randomguy: but you ARE on the internet and can get anything you need | 21:31 |
| randomguy | Starnestommy: Hey you there | 21:31 |
| Starnestommy | randomguy: yeah | 21:31 |
| randomguy | wols_: ok, so what do i need to get?? | 21:31 |
| KyleK | pawpaw: if you dont trust update-rc.d to just remove the links, which is what it should do | 21:31 |
| wols_ | randomguy: scroll up. I told you already | 21:31 |
| randomguy | Starnestommy: well i need wireless help | 21:31 |
| KyleK | then rm /etc/rc.?d/???vmware-server | 21:31 |
| sykopomp` | does anyone here at least know where I should start? | 21:31 |
| randomguy | wols_: from where do i get ndis wrapper | 21:32 |
| pawpaw | Kylek: so after that I should still be able to just do a /etc/init.d/vmware start to get it going manually? | 21:32 |
| KyleK | yea | 21:32 |
| wols_ | randomguy: from the ubuntu repos | 21:32 |
| sykopomp` | somewhere, something is screwing up. It's not exactly obvious what that is when you use ubanto | 21:32 |
| uffo | i need install winbind library with force | 21:32 |
| randomguy | wols_: ok, but right now i am on windows | 21:32 |
| pawpaw | Kylek: I'll try that, thanks | 21:32 |
| wols_ | randomguy: so? windows can't download files? | 21:32 |
| wols_ | omposter: /etc/network/interfaces. and you most importan of all should tell us more about the network setup. btw: there is no "mess" | 21:33 |

| uffo | Looks like best solution is to run MPlayer with wine, it is one mplayer.exe with all libraries all-in-one - installing software manually in ubuntu is horror | 21:37 |

| spiritsmoke | ASULutzy.... I'll post what I did to the PM window I opened in case anybody else ever asks | 21:37 |

| wild_osca1 | anyone knows how to set LIRC up? | 21:40 |
| HardDisk | uffo, I told you if you want a stand alone binary you have to compile it yourself or check the mplayer website, ubuntu will have debs you cant run it standalone, debs are for installing. | 21:40 |
| Boohbah_ | dannyishere: dude... dude? | 21:40 |
| wols_ | uffo: WHAT libraries? | 21:40 |
| JC_Denton_ | yesudeep: can't remember.. it has been a while like this. | 21:40 |

| Boohbah_ | uffo: why are you trying to use some random mplayer deb? | 21:42 |
| HardDisk | uffo, I told you if you want a stand alone binary you have to compile it yourself or check the mplayer website, ubuntu will have debs you cant run it standalone, debs are for installing. | 21:42 |

| uffo | debs wants libraryes and i cannot use repo and i am not expert to compile anything | 21:43 |

I don't like to think I am so 'illiterate' with computers that I wouldn't understand them but it is true. How and where should I educate myself further? | 21:51 |

| mfe | real player | 21:51 |
| noelferreira | HardDisk, thanks i will | 21:51 |
| Starnestommy | randomguy: what kind of pci adapter? | 21:51 |
| Boohbah_ | BeBoBli: use gentoo | 21:51 |
| HardDisk | noelferreira, if it has bluetooth check out blueman | 21:51 |
| mfe | i didn't use sudo | 21:51 |
| noelferreira | yes but my laptotop don't | 21:51 |
| randomguy | Starnestommy: netgear wn311b | 21:51 |
| mfe | if that makes a difference | 21:51 |
| HardDisk | noelferreira, ah..well get a bluetooth dongle, it will make things much easier | 21:52 |
| BeBoBli | Boohbah_, I get that answer sometimes. It really does educate you or does it give you a trial and error course? | 21:52 |

| wols_ | randomguy: what wlan chip (see lspci) | 21:52 |

| jpastore | wols_ thanks let me see what I can find | 23:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tal_Ormanda This has nothing to do with ubuntu. use a formatting / partitioning program in windows to do it | 23:12 |
| wols_ | Tal_Ormanda: it already is pikcing it up. just use fdisk to create a partition or whatever windows uses for paritioning. this is not a ubuntu question | 23:12 |

| Zeker | zeestorm, I had a hell of a time doing it last time, I acually had to use some supergrub floppy util and it didn't turn out exactly how I like it. How do I restore grub like that? | 23:41 |
| ZeeStorm | check the link that ubottu shows | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gkelly You also saw that you can do it in here right. | 23:41 |
| sofiankrt | nickrud: hey. sorry I left so abruptly that day. i actually killed all my processes! | 23:41 |
| ZeeStorm | you should be able to use a ubuntu disc live to reinstall it | 23:41 |
| gkelly | Jack_Sparrow : yup, thanks | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np... | 23:42 |
| koshari | i agree with zeestorm | 23:42 |
| ZeeStorm | then you have to alter your grub config to have the windows partition.. but i'm sure that page ubottu shows has it all documented | 23:42 |
| chamuscas__ | does anyone know a a good game to play in ubuntu ? | 23:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !appgb > Zeker | 23:45 |

| zaputr_ | How can i restart mouse driver? | 23:47 |

| NullNam1 | Try buying or downloading games that support linux (quake 3, gmes like that) | 23:50 |
| AnonEMouse | How do you copy permissions from one directory to another directory? | 23:50 |

| Starnestommy | Zeker: although wine can run some window programs without needing windows installed ina vm | 23:51 |
| AnonEMouse | right | 23:51 |
| ZeeStorm | Zeker: steam works well on WINE (from the website listed above).. but portal and the like I'm not sure from orange box.. i'd def dual boot | 23:51 |

| Zeker | starnestommy, my friend has no problem playing windows games on his mac using parallels... | 23:51 |

| wastedfluid | And you actually get comparable frame rates. | 23:52 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Pici It was my understanding the default for aptitude was to include them.. we had that discussion yesterday in ops | 23:52 |
| AnonEMouse | Is there a way to say "Take the permissions that this directory has and give it to that directory too?" | 23:52 |
| ZeeStorm | wastedfluid: didn't cedega used to be shareware/closed ? | 23:52 |
| Pici | Jack_Sparrow: It includes recommended packages by default, but not suggested | 23:52 |
| J1 | hey guys i need some help with dvd stuff | 23:52 |
| ezzieyguywuf | you could copy the directy and rename it | 23:52 |
| J1 | how do i play a DVD from a folder? | 23:52 |
| jonaskoelker | AnonEMouse: you could probably do something with `find -exec chmod ...' | 23:52 |
| wastedfluid | ZeeStorm, Well, you do have to pay for it I believe. $5. | 23:52 |
| koshari | given cedega is a commercial app why wouldnt you just aquire a cheap windows licence? | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pici ah.. got it.. sorry..didnt read carefully | 23:52 |
| Rabbitbunny | AnonEMouse: iirc, chmod has a recursive switch. | 23:52 |
| ezzieyguywuf | cp [locations of orig directory] [location of new directory with new name] | 23:52 |
| wastedfluid | I think it's $5.. but $5 for macho unmatched linux gaming support?? hmmm | 23:52 |
| ZeeStorm | wastedfluid: dual boot for the win :) | 23:52 |
| wastedfluid | LOL @ Ze. | 23:53 |
| wastedfluid | Okay man :P | 23:53 |
| J1 | how do i play a dvd out of a video_ts folder copied to the HD? | 23:53 |
| koshari | J1 vlc | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | koshari: i think you can pay very little to just get the app and not the subscription for support | 23:53 |
| AnonEMouse | I will give that a try, thanks | 23:53 |
| jonaskoelker | AnonEMouse: exactly what is it you want to do? do you want to be recursive? do you want to also affect contained files? | 23:53 |
| ZeeStorm | wastedfluid: i don't leave my computer on all the time, so i boot up every time i get on.. and if i'm wanting to play games, it wouldn't be a bother to switch to windows | 23:53 |
| ezzieyguywuf | does anyone know what the difference is between ubuntu and ubuntu studio, other than the preinstalled apps | 23:54 |
| J1 | koshari - but it only opens one file, not the whole dvd with menus and well.. the whole movie | 23:54 |
| Zeker | is there a version of windows (besides crappy vista) that takes advantage of 64bit systems? | 23:54 |
| J1 | koshari - nvm i just figured it out lol | 23:54 |
