| erUSUL | MrKeuner: it does afaik | 00:00 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: by default? | 00:01 |
| Agent_bob | MrKeuner yes | 00:01 |
| MrKeuner | Agent_bob: when I insert a udf dvd it shows up empty | 00:01 |

| grim76 | afallenhope: use unrar | 00:05 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: lsmod shows udf | 00:05 |
| grim76 | afallenhope: sudo apt-get install unrar | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | MrKeuner: what's exactly the problem you have? | 00:05 |
| afallenhope | thank grim76 | 00:05 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: nautilus does not show the contents of the dvd, now movie player plays it | 00:05 |
| tamstreo | a small question: can ubuntu host a mac os x emulator | 00:05 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: s/now/nor | 00:06 |
| zvacet | afallenhope : sudo apt-get install unrar after that right click on rar file and unpack here | 00:06 |

| erUSUL | MrKeuner: did you instaled libdvdcss2 ?? | 00:06 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: yes, it plays other encoded dvds. moreover I am not sure if this dvd is encrypted at all, anyways | 00:07 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: libdvdcss2 is already the newest version. | 00:07 |
| tamstreo | one q: why isn't the dvd support included out pf the box | 00:07 |
| ffm | tamstreo: Legal issues. | 00:07 |
| tamstreo | sry for dumb q but I am treo developer... | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | tamstreo: legal issues.. | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | MrKeuner: are there any read errors on dmesg or /var/log/messages ?? maybe the dvd is just busted | 00:07 |
| ffm | tamstreo: It's illegal for us to ship it./ | 00:07 |

| ffm | tamstreo: And illegal in the US to install it. | 00:08 |
| tamstreo | can't one make it a oneclick downloader | 00:08 |
| tamstreo | like a link on the desktop? | 00:08 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: syslog does not show any errors, it mounts just fine | 00:08 |
| ffm | tamstreo: That's violation of US law. | 00:08 |
| tamstreo | shit.... | 00:08 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: same dvd plays on macosx | 00:08 |
| ffm | tamstreo: Very shit. | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | tamstreo: you *could*, but technically as said, its a violatin of law. | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | MrKeuner: then i dunno :| | 00:08 |
| Gabe_G23 | So, did anyone say anything? I was gone for a bit, how do you use a proxy with Transmission (Bit Torrent) | 00:08 |
| tamstreo | hmm | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | my opinion... if i paid for a DVD, I'm gonna watch it. | 00:08 |
| ffm | IndyGunFreak: Of course. | 00:08 |
| MrKeuner | erUSUL: that's a copy dvd of graduation, I don;t think they have encyrpted it at all | 00:09 |
| tamstreo | definitely IndyGunFreak | 00:09 |
| tamstreo | I filly agree here... | 00:09 |
| ffm | IndyGunFreak: But you paid for that format. Which happens to charge for a reader | 00:09 |

| petril | I am having problems with my sound is this a good channel? | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | IndyGunFreak: mine does ;) rt2500pci | 00:14 |
| HardDisk | petril, what's your issue? | 00:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: as long as your using ubuntu... its as good as any | 00:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: well, he probably doesn't have any sound..lol | 00:14 |
| HardDisk | prolly. | 00:14 |
| * IndyGunFreak predicts he has that Creative X-fi chipset.. | 00:15 | |
| === Tux is now known as l3d | ||
| BCM43 | wow this is a huge lul | 00:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | we're waiting on the guy to tell us his sound issue. | 00:15 |
| petril | alsamixer sees my sound card, it is not muted, and nothing plays | 00:15 |
| l3d | zvacet ok under the new user | 00:15 |
| HardDisk | petril, have you tried to use alsa instead of "auto" in your sound settings? | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: run lspci in a terminal, and see how your sound device is identified | 00:16 |
| BCM43 | !sound | petril | 00:16 |
| ubottu | petril: 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 | 00:16 |
| l3d | no synaptic or anything like that | 00:16 |
| petril | where would I set that? | 00:16 |
| afallenhope | zvacet: how do you use this? is it GUI? | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | BCM43: is that all you know how to do is trigger ubotu? | 00:16 |
| HardDisk | petril, read up | 00:16 |
| BCM43 | !yes | IndyGunFreak | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Factoid yes not found | 00:16 |
| HardDisk | petril, it's under system/preference/sound | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | figures... people think they're smart here cuz they learn a bunch of ! | 00:16 |
| EvilDennisR | thats because I have a weird theme | 00:16 |
| BCM43 | IndyGunFreak: ubottu just makes things that need to be said a lot much easier. | 00:17 |
| EvilDennisR | ewpz.. | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | BCM43: i wont' aruge w/ thta, but its annoying as hell. | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | PM it to them | 00:17 |
| Pwhdavey | hey all | 00:17 |
| zvacet | afallenhope : no it is not right click on file and unpack here | 00:17 |
| HardDisk | BCM43, with > | 00:17 |
| BCM43 | IndyGunFreak: they never notice | 00:17 |
| BCM43 | i know how to | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | BCM43: then they probably won't bother reading it in the channel. | 00:18 |
| zvacet | l3d : glad to hear that | 00:18 |
| BCM43 | IndyGunFreak: they do | 00:18 |
| * erUSUL agrees with BCM43 they never notice | 00:18 | |
| HardDisk | erUSUL, tin foil hat. | 00:18 |
| * IndyGunFreak disagrees with everyone | 00:18 | |
| IndyGunFreak | i read all my PMs, as long as they aren't advertising male bra's..lol | 00:18 |
| afallenhope | zvacet: it says it's not supported | 00:19 |
| * DIL wants to be smart like IndyGunFreak | 00:19 | |
| afallenhope | it's a part1.rar | 00:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | DIL: its a long, hard road..lol | 00:19 |
| afallenhope | I have 6 parts.. | 00:19 |

| DIL | ;-) | 00:19 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, sudo apt-get install unrar rar | 00:19 |

| HardDisk | afallenhope, then right click and unrar it :) | 00:19 |
| dleija | \part | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | DjViper: haven't read what?.. the PMs.. i always read, it just annoys me when i keep getting those male bra PMs, and the ones about skateboarding | 00:20 |
| DjViper | hehe | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | plus, the names that send the those PMs, have gotten pretty obvious. | 00:20 |

| BCM43 | wow, this is what happens to the channel when nobody needs help | 00:20 |
| trollboy | what's npviewer | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | BCM43: you should be here around 2-4am.. its a great time.. its like a mix of support, and offtopic.. very laid back.. best time to be here if you ask me | 00:21 |
| petril | I have set everything in system/preferences sound to alsa, and nothing | 00:21 |
| Buldor | no problem viewer ? | 00:21 |
| erUSUL | trollboy: a hack to use flash on 64 bits | 00:21 |
| Lzr | So, I pop in an installation CD, an error pops up and my system freezes. Is this common ? | 00:21 |
| petril | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 00:21 |
| zvacet | afallenhope : what is not supported | 00:21 |
| BCM43 | IndyGunFreak: what timezone? | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: see how lspci identifies your sound device... | 00:21 |
| Tsing1 | Trying to upgrade distro, keep getting "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry partner/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" Software sources no fix, Do I need to fix repos? | 00:21 |
| petril | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting says that it is probalby a muting thing, but everything is maxed | 00:21 |
| trollboy | erUSUL, that explains it. it likes to launch itself several times and use up all my cpu | 00:21 |
| amenado | Lzr-> which cd? liveCD? | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | BCM43: i really don't know, i'm eastern or central, not sure which, its 730pm right now. | 00:21 |
| BCM43 | ok, people comming, move stuff to ot | 00:21 |
| erUSUL | trollboy: yep | 00:22 |
| Lzr | amenado: Just a Windows software CD I was going to try to install | 00:22 |
| Lzr | With Wine or whatever I could use | 00:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: what sound device do you have? | 00:22 |
| trollboy | erUSUL, is there something I can do? | 00:22 |
| Pwhdavey_ | hi all (Ubuntu) my panels aren't appearing after I was browsing the theme on this OS, anybody know why? I've restarted to no avail | 00:22 |
| trollboy | other than learn to love have 0% cpu free? | 00:22 |
| petril | nvidia | 00:22 |
| grim76 | IndyGunFreak: you are Eastern...same time here. | 00:22 |
| erUSUL | trollboy: not really apprt from using noflash extension or something in firefox | 00:22 |
| s3a | jrib: i put a passphrase for the gpg and now that i uncompress it i just wanted to c if it secure then i press enter with a blank password (not the password i had put) and it's decrypting anyway! | 00:23 |
| petril | it is a emachine laptop | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: again, open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and see how it identifies your sound device.. its probably not nvidia. | 00:23 |
| erUSUL | s3a: you are doing something wrong ... | 00:23 |
| amenado | Lzr-> a windows apps? not a windows os? | 00:23 |
| afallenhope | as always HardDisk's solution fixed.. thanks | 00:23 |

| * IndyGunFreak believes harddisk broke my system | 00:24 | |
| s3a | erUSUL: wats wrong? the fact i used .zip insted of .tar?? | 00:24 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, well come to #ubuntu-meeting on the 17th http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=6&day=17&year=2008&hour=18&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 | 00:24 |
| HardDisk | and vouch for me :) | 00:24 |
| * IndyGunFreak is just joking HardDisk lol.. | 00:24 | |
| HardDisk | I know man | 00:24 |
| Lzr | amenado: Yeah, just some software I heard people got working on Linux. I can't even startup Ubuntu with the CD in the drive | 00:24 |
| HardDisk | you too if you'd like IndyGunFreak | 00:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: lol | 00:24 |
| afallenhope | HardDisk: does it support passwords too? because this is password protected. | 00:24 |
| erUSUL | s3a: keep in mind that gpg keeps the original file (it does not erase it when he encryts it) | 00:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: lol, no offense, its been a long time sicne i had to get help in here. | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | like probably Edgy, possibly Feisty | 00:25 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, if there is a password, and you know the password then enter it, or it may show a password on an unpassworded rar means it may be corrupted. | 00:25 |
| s3a | erUSUL: ya i no and i no im looking at the right file cuz it also has a .gpg extension to it | 00:25 |
| HardDisk | IndyGunFreak, I understand. | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: but i'll still vote for you being super l33t | 00:25 |
| HardDisk | haha :) | 00:25 |
| HardDisk | appreciate it | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | maybe that should be 5up3r | 00:26 |

| petril | was that right? | 00:26 |
| HardDisk | ah ha petril is back. | 00:26 |
| HardDisk | yes sir. | 00:26 |
| amenado | Lzr you may have a bad cdrom drive | 00:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: hang on, i think that chipset has the same issues as the intelHDA(which should be fixed in hardy) | 00:26 |
| EvilDennisR | ubunubi: Fixed =) | 00:26 |
| HardDisk | it is IndyGunFreak | 00:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: see, i tld you, i'm a genius | 00:26 |

| CraigW | hi there, i just installed ubuntu 8.10 and i get this: GRUB loading, please wait..... Error 21 and it loads no further | 00:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 00:27 |
| EvilDennisR | ubunubi: Yeah, it would of been well beyond any normal | 00:27 |
| Lzr | amenado: Maybe, but I did just install Xubuntu with the same cd drive. Hmm | 00:27 |
| HardDisk | !error21 | 00:27 |
| ubottu | Factoid error21 not found | 00:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: i recompiled alsa in gutsy to make it work.. but hardy, intelhda seems to be fine, i figured the mcp51 was also. | 00:27 |
| HardDisk | there should be one | 00:27 |
| Lzr | amenado: Other CDs have worked too, btw | 00:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | CraigW: did you google grub error 21? | 00:28 |
| * IndyGunFreak hates grub errors | 00:28 | |
| CraigW | IndyGunFreak no | 00:28 |
| ubunubi | EvilDennisR: Were you even able to hypothesize what happened installing that "application" last night for him that did all that? after seeing it up close in more detail? | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | CraigW: well..... | 00:28 |
| zvacet | CraigW : #ubuntu+1 | 00:28 |
| choudesh | CraigW, are you using VMWare? | 00:28 |
| CraigW | huh | 00:28 |
| CraigW | nope | 00:28 |
| CraigW | full install | 00:28 |
| HardDisk | petril, your fix will be to use the envy driver. | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | zvacet: i don't think he's using Intrepid | 00:28 |
| EvilDennisR | ubunubi: I have no idea.. Either the person /thought/ they knew what they were doing, and obviously didn't, or it was some asshole who thought it would be funny to fsck his machine up real good | 00:28 |
| Pdavey | okay, please can somebody help answer my question before my dialup self destructs again? | 00:29 |
| BCM43 | !dialup | Pdavey | 00:29 |
| ubottu | Pdavey: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 00:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pdavey: your dial up will self destrict, in 10sec | 00:29 |
| BCM43 | 9 | 00:29 |
| CraigW | choudesh no, its a full install | 00:29 |
| BCM43 | 8 | 00:29 |
| zvacet | IndyGunFreak : he just said he does but ok probably typing mistake | 00:29 |
| Pdavey | it keeps disconnecting I just need something simple helped | 00:29 |
| afallenhope | HardDisk: do you know if it'll extract PART files? | 00:29 |
| HardDisk | petril, sec i'll give you what you need. | 00:29 |
| wimpies | when I do sudo -i I can login as root without password, but only on the first terminal I start. How can that be ? | 00:29 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, part files are not for extraction. | 00:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | zvacet: well if he did, i missed that... | 00:29 |
| Pdavey | thats why I have like 3 different nicks in this channel at present | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | CraigW: are you using Intrepid? | 00:30 |
| BCM43 | wimpies: are you on live? | 00:30 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, part files are used to build rar archives | 00:30 |
| choudesh | CraigW, go into your bios and make sure your hard drives are set properly | 00:30 |
| afallenhope | HardDisk: mind mind if I msg you | 00:30 |
| HardDisk | sure | 00:30 |
| wimpies | BCM43 what do you mean ? | 00:30 |
| ubunubi | EvilDennisR: didn't he say that laptop didn't have an internet connection (hence having to apt from his install cd repo), how'd you get a shell to it? | 00:30 |
| zvacet | IndyGunFreak : yes but no reason to be nervous | 00:30 |
| choudesh | CraigW, error 21 is cannot find a certain disk | 00:30 |
| AndrewGearhart | IndyGunFreak: screen resolution applet didn't do the trick for me | 00:30 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, pm me. | 00:30 |
| BCM43 | wimpies: are you using the livecd right now? | 00:30 |
| CraigW | choudesh i do, i did a straight install from windows XP | 00:30 |
| EvilDennisR | ubunubi: He just unplugged another machine and plugged it in | 00:30 |
| wimpies | no from a regular disk | 00:30 |
| Pdavey | any takers for beginner Ubuntu user, converted from Vista? =| | 00:30 |
| choudesh | CraigW, using Wubi? | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | AndrewGearhart: screen res applet?.. i don't remember recommending that to you... i know we talked about dual displays.. | 00:30 |
| BCM43 | !pm | HardDisk afallenhope | 00:31 |
| ubottu | HardDisk afallenhope: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 00:31 |
| CraigW | choudesh whats that | 00:31 |
| TiZ_ | I'm having so many problems with my graphics card. I've used two drivers; ati and fglrx. With ati, everything runs great EXCEPT compiz. But with fglrx, compiz is the only thing that runs well. With fglrx, zsnes runs slowly, but with ati, zsnes goes full speed! What should I do about this? | 00:31 |
| BCM43 | Pdavey: ask a question and we will try to help | 00:31 |
| HardDisk | BCM43, it violates some codes | 00:31 |
| Pdavey | oka-ay | 00:31 |
| choudesh | CraigW, Windows based installer for linux | 00:31 |
| BCM43 | HardDisk: oh, ok, sorry | 00:31 |
| CraigW | ye | 00:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | TiZ_: get an nvidia card. | 00:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | problem solved | 00:31 |
| TiZ_ | Haha, that's funny. x_x | 00:31 |
| TiZ_ | I'm on a laptop. | 00:32 |
| Pdavey | its my panels - after logging on Ubuntu after a while, I look around on the themes and tried a few, now my panels do not appear, even after restarting | 00:32 |
| TiZ_ | With an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | TiZ_: well, i wasn't being funny, but a laptop does limit your choices | 00:32 |
| LinuxMonkey | CraigW: grub error 21 : Selected disk does not exist This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system. | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | you said graphics card, made me think PC | 00:32 |
| TiZ_ | There's absolutely no changing it now, that's for sure. | 00:32 |
| choudesh | CraigW, look @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide error 15 | 00:32 |
| TiZ_ | I may have used the wrong wording then. | 00:32 |
| Toxic | Anyone have any idea what happened to apt-get install lamp in 8.04? | 00:33 |
| petril | I searched for envy in synaptic and it came up with alsa-tools-gui, is that what I need? | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Toxic: i imagine its still there.. it would surprise me if its not... | 00:33 |
| Agent_bob | LinuxMonkey or impropperly addressed think sata | 00:33 |
| Toxic | Doesn't seem to work =p | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | petril: no, you need to enable universe I think.. | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | !envy | petril | 00:33 |
| ubottu | petril: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 00:33 |
| HardDisk | petril, no you need the nvidia envy | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | !info envyng | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Package envyng does not exist in hardy | 00:33 |
| HardDisk | petril, it's in synaptic | 00:34 |
| Flannel | !info envyng-gtk | 00:34 |
| ubottu | envyng-gtk (source: envyng-gtk): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 324 kB | 00:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | ah | 00:34 |
| Flannel | IndyGunFreak: or -qt for KDE | 00:34 |
| Pdavey | BCM43: I'm sure its really simple, and I'm wasting time, but I'd like to know as I am shifting most of my contents on Vista (dual-boot) to Ubuntu which I'll use for school | 00:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | right, forgot | 00:34 |
| esj1234 | I need to upgrade an hp proliant server from 7.04 to 8.04. problem is that 7.10 didn't support the raid controller so going from 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 is a bit problematic. is my only option scrubbing the disk and starting over? | 00:34 |
| HardDisk | petril, just remove your current nvidia driver via synaptic and install using envyng | 00:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | be back in a bit all... later | 00:35 |
| HardDisk | later IndyGunFreak | 00:35 |
| BCM43 | Pdavey: did this just start? or has it always done this | 00:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 I thought we changed the link for broadcom cards, I am not sure if it got changed again... | 00:35 |
| HardDisk | sup jacky :) | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hey | 00:36 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: idk, ill try again | 00:36 |
| Flannel | esj1234: If you'd like to try 7.04 straight to 8.04, realising its unsupported, you could try it. Its a server, so assuming you have ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard, and your kernel metapackage installed, there's a good chance that it'll work relatively issue free | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Did we change boradcom or bcm43cc | 00:36 |
| HardDisk | esj1234, just remember to backup. | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !broadcom | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 00:36 |
| Flannel | esj1234: Also any metapackages for whatever server software you have (the 'apache2' package, for instance) | 00:36 |
| zvacet | esj1234 : yes you have upgrade one step at the time so in your case that means start all over again | 00:36 |
| Pdavey | BCM43: just started 20 minutes ago. Logged onto Ubuntu, put some music on, looked around on themese and tried and few, panels no longer appear (but I can click around them, obviously) | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !bcm43xx | 00:36 |
| zvacet | good night | 00:37 |
| Agent_bob | i have two boxen http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=df7e4d77 and http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d2f592cd1 can't figure out why the second is using so much ram. process tables are nearly the same. one has an extra shell running, but that is only about 1m no ? | 00:37 |
| pinnerup | Anyone here who can help me with getting nxserver (NoMachine) to run properly under Ubuntu? I've got everything set up and configured, but I can't seem to login. I persistently get a "authorization denied for user [username]". | 00:37 |
| BCM43 | ubottu lag | 00:37 |
| ubottu | You have lag, I don't have lag | 00:37 |
| BCM43 | oh, nevermind | 00:37 |
| esj1234 | it was installed with xubuntu so I'm probably doing the scrub and reinstall dance | 00:37 |
| HardDisk | jacky shouldn't there be a !b43 trigger? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !b43 | 00:37 |
| HardDisk | since that's what the new one is called | 00:37 |
| ubottu | Factoid b43 not found | 00:37 |
| Weatherapp | Folks, the weather app on my panels do not show the image of the weather anymore. Anyway I can fix this? Sure, I know the temp, but I am unsure of the weather | 00:37 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: do you have privileges to edit? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Yep | 00:38 |
| esj1234 | I may try the incremental path because I have nothing to loose (all backed up :-) | 00:38 |
| grim76 | pinnerup: What does your auth log say for the user logging in? | 00:38 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: ok, i dont, so i cant try | 00:38 |
| Weatherapp | or is this what the Haze looks like? | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bit I want to find who changed it back.. Probably because the link mentioned feisty | 00:38 |
| HardDisk | Weatherapp, is it a greyish box? | 00:38 |
| Flannel | esj1234: You mean the upgrade path? I think you've got a good shot at it working | 00:38 |
| HardDisk | Weatherapp, then yes. | 00:38 |
| Weatherapp | HardDisk: yeah, the top grayer, the bottom whiter | 00:38 |
| Weatherapp | I see | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 What was you r suggested link again | 00:39 |
| Weatherapp | Thanks for informing me. I wasn't sure of it myself | 00:39 |
| BCM43 | Pdavey: im not really sure, sorry | 00:39 |
| Weatherapp | well, off I go then | 00:39 |

| HardDisk | will do | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | We need to make a page that works for people.. too many people cant make it work with the existing tutorials | 00:41 |
| BCM43 | Jack_Sparrow: that is the best i have found so far | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BCM43 I think the only real issue is on legacy class chipsets | 00:42 |
| HardDisk | I agree | 00:42 |
| HardDisk | and newer revisions of broadcom | 00:42 |
| BCM43 | true | 00:42 |
| HardDisk | some rev 3 I have encountered to have issues with the current drivers. | 00:42 |
| HardDisk | I should have kept logs :/ | 00:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HardDisk those are the legacy | 00:43 |

| s3a | i made a .torrent file but transmission isnt uploading, so how do i make it upload? | 01:03 |
| grim76 | Did you restart freenx and ssh? | 01:03 |
| pinnerup | grim76: Yes, several times. | 01:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AndrewGearhart glad you remembered.. it will change every time.. just remember there is a backup in that folder.. | 01:03 |
| pinnerup | Before I did that, it wouldn't let me connect. | 01:03 |
| grim76 | pinnerup: did you make the change node.conf? | 01:03 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow i cant pastebin, theres no internet on the machine atm | 01:03 |
| pinnerup | grim76: I don't have a node.conf, I think. I've made changes to node.cfg | 01:04 |

| kunwon1 | sorry, sagredo_ ^ | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | somenickfree when are you getting that error? | 01:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | CraigW livecd... sudo fdisk -l ... find your linux install ... sudo mkdir /media/techsupport and mount it or you wont find your hard drive installs menu list | 01:06 |
| grim76 | pinnerup: Ok that is strange as that should work. Pastebin your node.cfg, and sshd_config lets see if something it out of whack. | 01:06 |
| HardDisk | sagredo_, do you have it installed? | 01:07 |
| kunwon1 | sagredo_, see the post above from ubottu :) | 01:07 |
| AndrewGearhart | CraigW: Jack_Sparrow helped me earlier today to get my system running... I was installing correctly, but my bios was flipping the drive order (ide for sata) causing the wrong drive to be selected by the boot loader! boo! Jack_Sparrow showed me how to edit the file and I learned the basaic syntax | 01:07 |
| sagredo_ | HardDisk: yes | 01:07 |
| pinnerup | grim76: Sure. Sec. | 01:07 |
| sagredo_ | HardDisk: from the hardy repo | 01:07 |
| HardDisk | sagredo, ok look the fastest way to get it going, download the sheep packs and install it to the .electricsheep folder it's hidden | 01:07 |
| grim76 | pinnerup: I will be right back. Paste the link in here and I will find it. | 01:08 |
| sagredo_ | HardDisk: what syntax should I use? --data-dir? | 01:08 |
| HardDisk | sagredo, to generate sheep takes cpu and lots of time, so get the packs from the website extract it there, then use the screensaver to enable electricsheep and you're done | 01:08 |
| macaco | stickam and adobe macromedia Flash detect my webcam but screen is blank | 01:08 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow what do you mean mount it | 01:08 |
| HardDisk | sagredo, no need, go to the sheep website, they have torrents and direct download of their electric sheep | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AndrewGearhart Here is the short version of that.. you may not need to do all of it.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/20013/ | 01:08 |
| sagredo_ | HardDisk: what is the directory to extract to? I have the pack | 01:08 |

| [TiZ] | Hi. In trying to figure out which ati driver to use, I messed up my system. I'm going to make a long story short. After taking steps in attempt to fix it, I now can't get to my desktop.

| S8n | Good evening, I'm new to Linux and having some issues with screen res on Ubuntu, is anyone able to assist? | 01:09 |
| kidsfinkter | my pc hangs on shutdown, when deactivating the network interfaces. eth0 goes down fine, as does wlanm0, but it hangs on eth1 saying that it couldn't shutdown the device, and asks if the message bus daemon is still running. can anyone help? | 01:09 |
| HardDisk | S8n, videocard type? | 01:10 |
| Anacranom | how do i tell if i have bluetooth device (hardware) in my laptop? | 01:10 |
| S8n | Its nvidia 5200. The drivers have been installed, but its restricted to 640x480 res | 01:10 |
| HardDisk | S8n, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings then run sudo nvidia-settings | 01:11 |
| somenickfree | TiZ to try again, boot into recovery mode then do a nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and delete the contents | 01:11 |
| somenickfree | then do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:11 |
| somenickfree | pick the VESA driver and uninstall the ati and all should boot again | 01:11 |
| Bodsda | [TiZ], boot to recovery mode and choose the 'Fix X' option | 01:11 |
| pinnerup | grim76: http://pastebin.com/m2ccd4a0e + http://pastebin.com/d5682bda7 | 01:12 |
| * somenickfree has borked alot of ati driver installs, so he knows how to recover | 01:12 | |
| [TiZ] | I guess you're going to want to know the steps. The problem started after I removed fglrx, trying to go back to open-source ati, and added some stuff into my xorg.conf. That caused the log-in screen to not appear, so I booted into recovery mode and used the xfix entry. I then resumed normal boot and installed fglrx using envy. And now I am where I am now. | 01:12 |
| grim76 | pinnerup: ok I will look at them now. | 01:12 |
| sagredo_ | HardDisk: I placed 100 MBs worth of .mpgs to .electricsheep and when I select it from the screensaver option no anamations start | 01:12 |
| Bodsda | somenickfree, i dont think the driver/video settings are in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg anymore, | 01:12 |
| S8n | When I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it goes thru a whole section about my keyboard and thats all.. Nothing about resolution. | 01:12 |
| [TiZ] | I will fix X and return here to report on the result. | 01:12 |
| HardDisk | sagredo, run electricsheep manually from terminal | 01:13 |
| sagredo_ | S8n: try adding more resolutions to xorg.conf under Modes | 01:13 |
| HardDisk | and check it | 01:13 |
| somenickfree | blah may be why the commercial fglrx doesn't work anymore, but the open source driver now works for me HA! | 01:13 |
| Bodsda | S8, boot to recovery mode from grub and choose the Fix X option | 01:13 |
| sagredo_ | HardDisk: it tries to download sheep | 01:13 |
| Bodsda | somenickfree, i know dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg no longer works | 01:13 |
| S8n | I added 1024x768 just to test, and it made no difference. One sec, gonna grab the message from the xorg log files quickly. | 01:13 |
| yfk | how do I get rid of the new restricted driver icon? | 01:14 |
| HardDisk | sagredo, you did sudo apt-get install electricsheep correct? | 01:14 |
| HardDisk | not compiled. | 01:14 |
| grim76 | pinnerup: Change this line in your sshd_config #AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys uncomment the line and add a 2 at the end of the line. | 01:14 |
| jo_e | i have the UUID booting problem, and can only boot to kernel version 2.6.22.14, not anything higher. my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst are both using UUIDs, so i don't understand what the problem is. | 01:14 |
| somenickfree | ok I don't think I am going to get the wireless working am I? | 01:14 |
| HardDisk | sagredo_, http://community.electricsheep.org/node/237 | 01:15 |

| mnuaimat | HardDisk: but i need to connect from a normal vnc client (the one i use on my iPhone is vnsea ) , is there any other method of setting up a normal vnc server without ssh, or does vnc protocol already supporting ssh ? | 01:26 |

| Anacranom | how do i tell if i have bluetooth device (hardware) in my laptop? | 01:26 |
| HardDisk | cdavis, right click on the volume control and select open volume control check you may need to add more inputs by clicking preference under edit | 01:26 |
| HardDisk | mnuaimat, vnc without ssh is already available in ubuntu, system/preference/remote desktop | 01:27 |
| kat_aq | Anacranom, well if you have a phone with bluetooth you could try to find your pc | 01:27 |
| cdavis | HardDisk, I don't have front under edit either, does that mean this isn't my problem at all and something else? | 01:27 |
| pinnerup | grim76: So the line should say "AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys2"? | 01:27 |

| BlackCow | hey, i have a problem, I have tried multipile versions of Xubuntu and Kubuntu as high as 8.04, when I boot into them they are WICKED slow, and then still slow when it eventually does boot it. I used to run Xubuntu fine without any problems. I thought it might be the graphics card but I put one I know works and still no help. | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | BlackCow: how much ram? | 02:03 |
| BlackCow | could it be a hardware problem? | 02:03 |
| NullNam1 | BlackCow: Try Xubuntu 8./04 | 02:03 |
| BlackCow | 1 gig | 02:03 |
| BlackCow | i am running Xubuntu 8.04 | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, sounds like some other hardware issue... | 02:03 |
| BlackCow | it was fine for a while but then it got slow again | 02:03 |
| NullNam1 | BlackCow: Use Xubuntu and use the "ALTERNATE" disk.. | 02:03 |
| NullNam1 | Or use Fluxubuntu | 02:03 |
| NullNam1 | They run MUCH better on slower PC's. | 02:03 |
| bleck | i've got a delta 66 soundcard, and I can't get any sound out of it, ubuntu seems to load the alsa driver, and amarok seems to start playing, but no sound.. i've checked the mute settings in alsamixer and envy24control | 02:04 |
| BlackCow | yeah, but whats strange is Xubuntu used to run just fine, which makes me think something broke | 02:04 |
| s3a | IndyGunFreak: no, i added a hard drive and installed ubuntu on it then took it off and put it in another comp but that f***ed up the grub on my main hd (the hd i dint take out - i said i SHOULD of took off the power before booting) | 02:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | NullNam1: thats the thing, his PC doesn't seem that slow.. he should be able to run gnome or KDE w/o issue. | 02:04 |
| bleck | BlackCow: how is it slow | 02:04 |
| yfk | bleck: where did you get a delta 66 soundcard? | 02:04 |
| choudesh | bleck, known bug https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/login_page.php?return=%2Falsa-bug%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D3327 | 02:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | s3a: well, reinstall grub.... that should work | 02:04 |
| NullNam1 | oh. Maybe it's the video card. | 02:05 |
| bleck | i got the card from ebay | 02:05 |
| BlackCow | its slow to boot it, the little loading bar is also glitchy, dosnt go in a strait line, bad colors, then when it does boot in everything is REAAAALLLY slow | 02:05 |
| bleck | new though, not second hand | 02:05 |
| bhc | hi all | 02:05 |
| NullNam1 | BlackCow: Are windows and text very large??? | 02:05 |

| bhc | can i make a repo server using my dvd repo ? | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | NullNam1: no, even the generic drivers shoiuld boot it fine. | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | this sounds like a hardware issue, likely ram, hard drive or cPU dying | 02:06 |
| BlackCow | yeah, and remember it was working for a while | 02:06 |
| BlackCow | so you think something is dying eh? | 02:06 |
| NullNam1 | IndyGunFreak: I've used nvidia cards with Ubuntu that have given me similar problems. | 02:06 |

| bleck | choudesh: aah. thanks | 02:06 |
| BlackCow | oh memory slots? | 02:06 |

| bleck | choudesh: how did you find that so quick? | 02:07 |

| IndyGunFreak | BlackCow: not slots.. how many memory dimms do you have(chips) | 02:07 |
| BlackCow | leme check real quick | 02:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | BlackCow: what i would do.. remove 1 512mb chip, boot.. and see if it boots ok, if its still slow, reinstall the other chip, and remove the other... | 02:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'm almost sure this is a memory issue | 02:07 |

| Leefmc | your damn name :o | 02:44 |
| arooni_ | i installed freemind, but i can't run it because of some annoying java problem: http://pastie.org/214891 help??????? thanks! | 02:44 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: ^^ | 02:44 |
| turbotuba | what is the command to find out what hardware a pc has | 02:45 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Blender comes as a .. tar, heh. No installer of any form, it runs out of the directory you unzip it to. | 02:45 |
| pinnerup | grim76: I got a little further. By enabling the NX userDB and defining a special NX password for my account, I got a bit further in the authentication process, but then it gives me this: http://pastebin.com/d42a63923 | 02:45 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: And the google app i'm talking about seems to be similar, except its specifically having to do with python. | 02:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ How to install anything in Ubuntu | 02:45 |
| ubunubi | Leefmc:: Programs that aren't from a repo, or aren't a deb package...tend to have directions on their website, or on a fan-site telling you the exact steps to install it :) | 02:45 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Well i mean, so there is no .. standard? Ubuntu just wants you to shove crap where ever? Seems odd. heh | 02:46 |
| CraigW | hello ?? | 02:46 |
| * Leefmc clicks Jack_Sparrow's link. | 02:46 | |
| anirudh0 | nickrud, thanks..btw why is;nt parallel enabled by default | 02:46 |
| CraigW | Leefmc was that to me> | 02:47 |
| ubunubi | Leefmc: For a program to support to Ubuntu "standard"....it has to be packaged as a *deb file, or a deb file in a repository. that's the purpose of the deb file, is to tell everything where to get stored, so that it does it the "ubuntu-way" | 02:47 |
| Leefmc | CraigW: No, you're name was not mentioned. ;P | 02:47 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow any other suggestions? | 02:47 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Yea, but im asking how do _i_ do it the "ubuntu way" :o | 02:47 |
| unavailable | interesting | 02:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CraigW No, just booted up to dl some things for the wife.. | 02:48 |
| mrmiggidude | BTW guys, R. Kelly was not guilty. | 02:48 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc, checkinstall? | 02:48 |
| Leefmc | anirudh0: Pardon? | 02:48 |
| cdavis_ | What can I do if root cannot delete a file? the file shows owned by: 2047907254:2511766000 ? | 02:48 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow nothing is working -.-" | 02:48 |
| CraigW | chown it | 02:48 |
| tmapj | will rootkits included in torrents be able to function in ubuntu, anyone? | 02:48 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc, thats a package name..makes debs out of sources iirc | 02:48 |
| JKAlfer | does anyone here have any experience with ubuntu and ndas drives? | 02:48 |
| CraigW | cdavis chown -hR name | 02:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CraigW someting odd there... | 02:48 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: you'd have to google specific tutorials on installing those apps specifically in your version of ubuntu. google something like :: how Install PROGRAMNAME (Hardy OR heron OR 8.04 OR ubuntu) | 02:48 |
| Leefmc | This seems weird. I spose i'll just create my own "Programs Folder" heh. | 02:48 |
| CraigW | yeah Jack_Sparrow | 02:48 |
| R2LM | I just went through the Gutsy to Hardy upgrade on my computer, and whenever I boot up now it shows the splash screen for several seconds, but then it goes into 'terminal' mode and displays all the startup info. I checked the /boot/grub/menu.lst and the options are "ro quiet splash" for boot up, just like they have been in the past. Any ideas how to suppress all the startup messages and keep... | 02:48 |
| R2LM | ...the splash screen? | 02:48 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow because its SATA would that affect it? | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CraigW try a different release of ubuntu or a different distro.. | 02:49 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: copy and paste that search string replacing PROGRAMNAME and you'll get some good leads on where to start | 02:49 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Well, im not wondering how to install.. i just figured there was a standard where most programs sat. If not, i can make my own, no biggie. | 02:49 |
| unavailable | ok irc on pidgin, anyway to change people's nick's colors?? | 02:49 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow where can i get 7.10 | 02:49 |
| tmapj | will rootkits included in torrents be able to function in ubuntu, anyone? | 02:49 |
| Hillshum_ | How do I get windows that are flexible? | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CraigW No, I havbe sata, ide and mixed system all over.. that isnt the problem in your case | 02:49 |
| nickrud | anirudh0 it's experimental. I remember reading a thread on some mail list (?) about a guy using it to get to gdm in under 30 seconds. Still some issues on ensuring the correct sequencing of certain init scripts iirc | 02:49 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow where can i get 7.10 | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CraigW You might look in bios to see if your can emulate ide with your sata.. that is where I would start | 02:50 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: ubuntu obviously has a file structure...most big programs installed by the user sit in /usr/bin (if it's a binary) etc...but that's more a linux standard than say an Ubuntu one | 02:50 |
| CraigW | Jack_Sparrow i never had a problem with 7.10, where can i dind this | 02:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !download | 02:50 |
| anirudh0 | nickrud, strange..fedora default boot was 28 sec(last i checked fc6) | 02:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 02:50 |
| kontagious | hey | 02:50 |
| kontagious | im using brasero and i would like to know how to turn off checksum | 02:50 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: if a program requires files to be put in specific places SPECIFICALLY to work with ubuntu (if it deviates from the other distro standards//basic standard), then that's what the HOWTO's you google will tell you | 02:50 |
| tmapj | will rootkits included in torrents be able to function in ubuntu, anyone? | 02:50 |
| Flannel | tmapj: Depends. Probably not, since the majority of them are windows rootkits. If you wanted to, you could probably get them to half-run in wine, with a little effort. If they are arch specific, then once it gets installed, it should run. But the arch specific ones still have OS specific installation methods, I believe. | 02:51 |
| anirudh0 | nickrud, well...i'll disable whatever startup services i can..thanks again | 02:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj rootkits included in ubuntu iso from torrents? | 02:51 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Yea. Heh, i mean.. I've got my blender directory sitting in "/usr/local/" which just seems.. odd. Yet i was told to. Though there seems to be no reason why, since i just created a symlink to a dif spot anyway.. its just hacky.. heh | 02:51 |
| nickrud | anirudh0 there's something on the forums, you might want to read that over | 02:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tmapj md5 prevents that from happening | 02:51 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Yea i know, thats why im asking for this simple case of "where to shove crap" heh | 02:51 |
| Smartpart | So I am just finishing setting up a dedicated css server. I'm starting to get stressed, it says serv online but i cant find it ingame... | 02:51 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: I don't like the feel of "shoving crap" in /usr/local/ | 02:52 |
| tmapj | no im just worried about rootkits from downloading torrents | 02:52 |
| tmapj | :P | 02:52 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: then 'shove' it where you do like the feel of it, lol, as long as it works, and you can find it, and there's space and permissions setup..have at it | 02:52 |
| jrib | tmapj: check the md5sum with the project whose software you are downloading | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: I know, i just wanted to shove it where it belonged haha. Guess they dont really belong anywhere heh | 02:53 |
| tmapj | jrib what are you talkinig about ? | 02:53 |
| unavailable | nvr mnd i like chatzilla better | 02:53 |
| jrib | tmapj: your concern about rootkits and how to address it | 02:53 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: this might be a good "guideline" http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-or-ubuntu-directory-structure.html | 02:54 |
| tmapj | what does "with the project whose software you are downloading" mean? | 02:54 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: Sounds good, thank you | 02:54 |
| Hemebond | How do I found out why Firefox isn't starting? | 02:54 |
| jrib | tmapj: you download program X. You look up program X's md5sum | 02:54 |
| Hemebond | When I run from terminal there is no output. | 02:54 |
| tmapj | what's an md5sum? | 02:54 |
| jrib | Hemebond: ps -ef | grep firefox any processes? | 02:55 |
| anirudh0 | Leefmc, iirc there's a freedesktop standard as well | 02:55 |
| jrib | tmapj: it's a checksum. It let's you verify what you have is what you are supposed to have (ie no one changed it) | 02:55 |
| * Leefmc googles freedesktop standard | 02:55 | |
| Hemebond | jrib: erm. I'm asking for a friend (who is afk atm). | 02:55 |
| tmapj | ah, tell me more | 02:55 |
| Hemebond | jrib: He's just installed Ubuntu and things aren't working. | 02:55 |
| jrib | tmapj: wikipedia article on checksum is probably a good read | 02:56 |
| Hemebond | jrib: I'll ask him when he gets back. | 02:56 |
| tmapj | ok | 02:56 |
| jrib | Hemebond: k, probably a lot easier if he just comes here | 02:56 |

| algebraist | anybody know how to set rf_kill to 0? i tried sudo echo >, but it doesn't work | 04:05 |
| candive | http://paste.ubuntu.com/20039/ should i close the window? for paste | 04:05 |
| Lanlost | I've got a question about rt2500s.. I noticed my speed in ubuntu seemed so slow. Then I did a iwconfig and noticed the rate was at 1mbps. Well, divide that in bytes instead of bits thats about what I was getting | 04:05 |
| erin | algebraist: export r_kill 0 ? | 04:06 |
| erin | *rf_kill | 04:06 |
| Lanlost | so I looked for a forum.. and people said that you have to switch the bit rate to auto.. but I think thats what its at becuase when I do auto it sitll says 1mbps. Setting it to 54M didn't do much. I followed a link to compile rt2500 drivers and .. they compiled fine | 04:06 |
| Lanlost | but I couldn't acutally connect. The drivers didn't automatically work with the gnome network thingy.. an dI couldn't set them manually either | 04:07 |
| Lanlost | dhclient said that it couldn't find any responces.. | 04:07 |
| Lanlost | so I disabled rt2500 (which used ra0 not wlan0 for some reason) and used rt2500pci again.. It worked this time | 04:07 |
| algebraist | erin, does that really work? i am talking about /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl4965/*/rf_kill , not a shell variable | 04:07 |
| ethana2 | iwlist doesn't give me... well, I'm confused | 04:07 |
| Lanlost | I got 54M .. and I got great speed. It only works when I put the card down first.. then change the rate.. and then put it back up | 04:07 |
| erin | algebraist: oh probably not then, sorry :P | 04:07 |
| erin | candive: try "sudo make install" | 04:07 |
| Lanlost | but on the forums it said it was bad to use 54M unless I'm really close to the router becuase it probably won't get that speed | 04:08 |
| algebraist | erin, no worries, thanks anyway :) | 04:08 |
| Lanlost | so I'm just not sure what I should do.. Also.. on boot I had no internet.. This is what I friggen hate about linux. I compiled the rt2500 drivers but I don't know why its using them by default on boot now | 04:08 |
| uberpinguin | Hello. I see that ubuntu has a package for murmur on hardy-sparc. I'm curious about how it was patched to run properly, as murmur on my supersparc crashes with a bus error whenever a player speaks. | 04:08 |
| candive | erin, did you see my paste? | 04:08 |
| erin | candive: yes | 04:08 |
| Lanlost | I didn't change anything else.. I just did a temporary modprobe -r or rmmod and changed it back to the original | 04:08 |
| candive | going to terminal | 04:08 |
| erin | candive: was that the output of make install? | 04:08 |
| shane_ | goodeve | 04:09 |
| shane_ | i have a simple ? | 04:09 |
| Lanlost | but I've also seen a site say that the rt2500 drivers shipped with hardy ARE the same drivers as the ones I were compiling. obviously not as new though. The ones in the kernal are apparently buggy | 04:09 |
| Lanlost | so I suppose my quesiton is... should I be using hardys rt2500 drivers or compile my own. And second... how can I set my rt2500 to connect at 54M on boot. I'm afraid to set it to 54M because if I have to connect to another server or something I don't want to do 'damage' to my card | 04:09 |
| Lanlost | but if I do auto.. it always drops to 1mbps | 04:10 |
| shane_ | i am using freespire and it is based on ubuntu can i sudo comand and get the games that i had in ubuntu | 04:10 |
| erin | !question | shane_ | 04:10 |
| ubottu | shane_: 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. :-) | 04:10 |
| candive | I believe I only need to rename 2 files to finish and yes i think so new to Linux tech to windows | 04:10 |
| shane_ | ty erin | 04:10 |
| philh | Lanlost, i take it you're well within range of the AP | 04:10 |
| erin | shane_: sorry didnt notice you actually asked the question, lol my bad | 04:11 |
| erin | shane_: dont understand your question, all sudo does is allows you to run commands as root | 04:12 |
| candive | erin, It as run twice I believe. I only need to rename 2 files to finish and yes i think so new to Linux tech to windows | 04:12 |
| erin | candive: I have not compiled clamAV myself so I dont know, does the documentation not tell you? | 04:12 |
| * fangwithu hi | 04:12 | |
| shane_ | yes but in ubuntu there is sudo apt-get install and in freespire im not sure if i can do that to get the gamepack | 04:13 |
| erin | candive: what happens if you just try running clamav? | 04:13 |
| fangwithu | hi | 04:13 |
| rogerio | good nith all people... | 04:13 |
| erin | shane_: if apt-get is installed (it should be if Freespire is based on Debian/Ubuntu) then you can... | 04:14 |
| philh | shane_, is there no package manager? | 04:14 |
| philh | shane_, have you tried sudo synaptic ? | 04:14 |
| philh | oh, it's all click 'n' runny, isn't it, horrible | 04:14 |
| candive | it running now, but I was told there was 2 files that had to be renamed, unsure. update clam "must be root" | 04:14 |
| nickrud | shane_ you should be asking in the freespire channels for freespire help | 04:15 |
| shane_ | they have a cnr with like 40000 dif aps but i was hoping i could do like i did when i made the swap to xubuntu and just import the game pack | 04:15 |

| bullgard4 | nickrud: I do not know which packages own those directories/files. How can I find that out? | 04:15 |

| Lanlost | philh, yes.. I am well in the range 89/100 link quality | 04:21 |
| Lanlost | I can get a 54M connection bit rate set .. I just needed to ifconfig the card down and then change it and put it back up | 04:21 |
| philh | Lanlost, good good, just thought it worth checking | 04:21 |
| Lanlost | I'm just concerned that it will 'do damage' to my card to set it to be.. er.. stuck at 54M | 04:22 |
| clintchance | Is there anything else for 32bit that wil work for my atherose wifi card | 04:22 |
| Lanlost | I've never heard that.. I figured that it would connect at 54M and just not reach that speed | 04:22 |
| philh | i'm not sure why it would but i couldn't say for sure either way | 04:22 |
| Lanlost | I just don't want to be fine here.. and then go to a cafe or something and have it try to connect at 54M and damage my card because of signal quality or something | 04:22 |
| Lanlost | right.. ok | 04:22 |
| Lanlost | I guess the other question is.. if I put a module in the modules directory.. it automatically loads everything in there on boot? | 04:23 |
| Lanlost | I never added the rt2500 driver I compiled to any start up list.. I simply rmmoded the old drivers and modprobed in the new one. After I was done though I did the opposite and on reboot I had the non working compiled ones loaded | 04:23 |

| avis | anyone have a link on restoring the MBR from a computer that had vista and ubuntu on it back to the original vista mbr configuration ? | 04:28 |
| clintchance | avis | 04:28 |
| nickrud | Matt_ hm, system in control panel, advanced button. Don't have vista open so I can't say exactly | 04:28 |
| Lanlost | nickrud, yeah I put it in /etc/modules. I din't know you could modprobe a module from anywhere else. That would be the answer to that. Thank you | 04:28 |
| clintchance | avis you may be able to just delete ubuntu and grub al togeather and just set the boot flag on the vista partition | 04:29 |
| Lanlost | actually.. hah | 04:29 |
| avis | yes clintchance ? i have a friend who wants to try out ubuntu, though i dont think he'll do it unless he can go back to the way things were originally if things dont work out | 04:29 |
| Lanlost | no I didn't | 04:29 |
| Lanlost | I thought that was a directory | 04:29 |
| Lanlost | so why did rt2500 load on boot? I didn't do that. | 04:29 |
| avis | clintchance, do you have a url for restoring mbr to the original before ubuntu was installed on a vista computer ? does anyone ? | 04:29 |
| clintchance | avis i dont have a url but that has worked for me | 04:29 |
| Matt_ | thanks nickrud | 04:29 |
| clintchance | avis the vista was OEM though i dont know f that has any effect on it | 04:30 |
| nickrud | Lanlost probably you installed it to the right kernel module directory, the kernel saw the hardware and looked for a module | 04:30 |
| nickrud | Lanlost in laymans terms, that is :) | 04:30 |
| avis | clintchance, so you only changed the bootlflag back to vista ? you mentioning removing grub (which is stored on the mbr) but didn't mention how you'd do that | 04:30 |

| clintchance | idleOne then how do i have 3.... STUPID EBAY! | 04:37 |
| IdleOne | Guest3032, you should be able to just upload to the ipod and play them | 04:37 |
| dryrot | eboyjr: are you talking about Ubuntu / Kbuntu / Edubuntu / Xubuntu ? | 04:38 |
| nickrud | eboyjr the other *desktops* , yes. kubuntu-desktop , xubuntu-desktop | 04:38 |
| Prexide | nickrud mate, thanks, it actually works now;> a last q, does it have any built-in irc sofware?(Ubuntu) | 04:38 |
| IdleOne | Guest3032, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto check out this link it may help you | 04:38 |
| nickrud | Prexide I use xchat (not xchat-gnome) | 04:38 |
| IdleOne | xchat-common | 04:39 |
| Prexide | is it allready installed? | 04:39 |
| Guest3032 | thanks | 04:39 |
| nickrud | Prexide pidgin (comes installed from the cd) does irc , sorta | 04:39 |
| Prexide | kk.p | 04:39 |
| eboyjr | dryrot: nickrud: I was talking about others like Gentoo, Linspire, blah blah blah... Like not having to use the CDs when I already have Linux | 04:39 |
| nickrud | eboyjr no, those all need to be installed using their own install cd/method | 04:39 |
| nickrud | eboyjr you can install something like vmware-server or virtualbox, and install them into a virtual machine running in ubuntu. Then you can download the iso, and point the virtual machine cd to the iso on the ubuntu install | 04:41 |
| fbc | EMERGENCY! I need to know what package I must reinstall to restore my pam.d directory files to their original states. | 04:41 |
| eboyjr | nickrud: Oh yeah.. I actually was using it before for Windows XP, but my memory is only 512 MB | 04:41 |
| eboyjr | only 512 GB | 04:41 |
| nickrud | eboyjr then you'll want to install them to their own partitions | 04:42 |
| eboyjr | okay thank you | 04:42 |

| Hillshum | can someone please help me? i tried to install my serial mouse but now no mouse works | 04:45 |
| kholerabbi | how can I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 from a cd? | 04:45 |
| Flannel | kholerabbi: You need the alternate CD | 04:45 |
| kholerabbi | flannel: damn, really? | 04:45 |
| nickrud | Hillshum sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should get you back to a default X config, other mice should work then | 04:46 |
| fbc | nickrud, awesome thanks | 04:46 |
| tommythegeek909 | i have a problem with the network monitor on the top panel, it does not display networks around me when i click it | 04:46 |
| Flannel | kholerabbi: aye. Desktop CD doesn't have any (well, its got a couple) packages on it. You use the alternate CD as a deb source, basically. | 04:46 |
| adude | does anyone know of a simple video editing program to do trimming of mp4 | 04:47 |
| kholerabbi | flannel: thanks- I'll just clean install then.. But I can leave the /home intact with fresh install? | 04:47 |
| nickrud | Flannel I haven't tried that myself, what happens when an installed universe package depends on a specific version of a package in main (and the main package gets updated)? | 04:47 |
| Flannel | kholerabbi: Assuming you have separate home partition, yeah. | 04:47 |
| nickrud | Flannel not thinking of a specific package, just generally | 04:47 |
| Flannel | nickrud: You end up needing to connect to the internet to grab that package | 04:48 |
| aro | Is there anyway to change specific options of the built in "Visual Effects" for Ubuntu 8.04? | 04:48 |
| nickrud | Flannel ok, figured. So you end up with a broken package, or an aborted install? | 04:48 |
| Flannel | nickrud: The alternate CD allows you to upgrade with downloading "most" already (from the CD) | 04:48 |
| philwyett | kholerabbi: I would leave an update a few weeks and wait for 8.04.1. 8.04 has a lot of updates and even with those is not production ready. | 04:48 |
| nickrud | Flannel ah. That's what I would expect, so net connection is still required | 04:48 |
| Flannel | nickrud: Uh, if you're offline... I'm not sure. It could uninstall them perhaps. I haven't tried. | 04:48 |
| bobbyjones | i want to remove my swap partition because i am going to stick the contents of a kubuntu iso on to it | 04:49 |
| cypher1 | aro, System->Preferences->Appearance .. select Visual Effects tab | 04:49 |
| bobbyjones | and then boot off it | 04:49 |
| kholerabbi | philwyett. I just use ubuntu for emails and chat and fun mate - but thanks for the warning | 04:49 |

| miked595 | sup channel | 04:49 |
| cypher1 | i am having serious problems with choppy scrolling .. can anyone help me ? | 04:49 |
| bobbyjones | removing the swap wont stuff up my computer will it? | 04:49 |
| aro | cypher1, I know that. I said specific options, not just clicking basic and advanced. | 04:49 |
| Flannel | nickrud: It even scares a lot of people when you do it (with the CD) because at first it says "800MB of packages need to be downloaded" sort of thing, and then 80+% of that goes way real quick. | 04:49 |
| acer_ | do ubuntu have the option of restoring to an earlier time like windows | 04:49 |
| nickrud | Flannel hahaha | 04:49 |
| cypher1 | aro, sorry i dont know | 04:50 |

| aro | I mainly want to turn off window snapping. | 04:50 |
| miked595 | you don't need to remove it though bobbyjones | 04:50 |
| bobbyjones | cos my cd drive is broken and that seems to be i only hope of upgrading | 04:50 |
| aro | I don't want windows to stick to edges and other windows. | 04:50 |
| miked595 | bobbyjones, swapoff -a | 04:50 |
| nickrud | aro install compizconfig-settings-manager , then it'll be in the prefs menu under advanced desktop settings | 04:50 |
| bobbyjones | thanks! | 04:51 |
| miked595 | bobbyjones, then to turn back on swapon -a | 04:51 |
| alan_m | Flannel, yeah i know what your saying about that, it scared the heck outta me as well....i freaked over 800..then realized how fast it was going and stuff. | 04:51 |
| cypher1 | is compiz enabled by default in hardy !? | 04:51 |
| aro | Nicke_, thanks. | 04:51 |
| nickrud | cypher1 if your video card supports it without a proprietary driver | 04:51 |
| acer_ | nickrud, do u think it something that is important and should be introduced in the coming versions | 04:52 |
| cypher1 | nickrud, i am having choppy scrolling in X after i upgraded to hardy | 04:52 |
| miked595 | cypher1, it does activate automatically if you install the proper drivers | 04:52 |
| nickrud | cypher1 if it's ati or nvidia, go to system->admin->hardware drivers , and enable the right driver | 04:52 |

| TiZ_ | Hello. The performance on my laptop using fglrx is very bad. I can run compiz well, but not anything else. For example, ZSnes performs badly. And also, there's a consistent horizontal tear near the top of my screen in 3d apps. On the other hand, though, the open source ati runs games and other 3d apps great, with no horizontal tear. But compiz runs terribly on it! What should I do? I want to have good performance everywhere. | 05:01 |
| hvgotcodes | miked: its a sun package; its saying the download is unavailable | 05:01 |
| miked595 | hvgotcodes, use remove instead of install i think that should fix your apt-get | 05:02 |
| uzair | swedekid: you mentioned you can only access the virtual server files right? | 05:02 |

| TiZ_ | Hello. The performance on my laptop using fglrx is very bad. I can run compiz well, but not anything else. For example, ZSnes performs badly. And also, there's a consistent horizontal tear near the top of my screen in 3d apps. On the other hand, though, the open source ati runs games and other 3d apps great, with no horizontal tear. But compiz runs terribly on it! What should I do? I want to have good performance everywhere. | 05:25 |
| mar1 | win app? | 05:25 |
| clintchance | Although my wireless sig could be higher | 05:25 |

| Rescue9 | I lost entire root partition of ubuntu server. I have tar of entire root minus proc, mnt, and sys. I tried using recover cd and untarring backup but when I reboot I get wierd uuid error and can't seem to bypass. What is best way to recover from tar? | 06:32 |
| demfrax | thanks! | 06:32 |
| Jordan_U | Desmond-, It is available on both | 06:32 |
| Desmond- | Ok, thanks | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | Desmond-, I believe the 'advanced' option is available right before you confirm which partitions will be modified | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | Desmond-, (on the desktop CD, on the alternate it's just one of the steps) | 06:34 |
| dSax | Is there a way I can verify I have my NAT settings correct? | 06:34 |

| nickrud | enaner try working in python, it starts easy and a _lot_ of the advanced glue for ubuntu is written in it | 06:36 |
| Flannel | enaner: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for this sort of thing. There's a large breadth of things people do. Are you interested in any particular types of things? | 06:36 |
| nickrud | !usplash | BonezAU | 06:37 |
| ubottu | BonezAU: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 06:37 |

| nickrud | Flannel you are right, I just copied you :) | 06:39 |
| nickrud | brain fart | 06:39 |
| BonezAU | Flannel, nickrud oh so easy - thank you guys :) | 06:39 |
| nickrud | BonezAU if you want the gdm login, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 06:39 |
| Rescue9 | I thought I'd get more of a response from the Official Support Channel.... even if that response was "I don't have an answer to that question". Thanks for the help guys. | 06:39 |

| ronin1234 | Hey whats best the mediacenter for linux these days? I'm not interested in TV at all as I live in China. But I have a catalog of some 700dvd's (the flip side of no tv in China) so i need it to have pretty good dvd cataloging | 06:42 |
| ubunubi | ronin1234:: mythbuntu maybe?? ubuntu built with integrated mythtv (which i think can catalog and play DVDs fine also) | 06:42 |
| TehLulze | How do I get ubuntu to recognize my ipod? | 06:43 |
| ubunubi | TehLulze: are you running hardy? | 06:44 |
| ronin1234 | so you can minimize the mythtv bit and use it like a standard desktop? | 06:44 |
| TehLulze | ubunubi: No | 06:44 |
| ubunubi | tehlulze: hardy auto-detects mine..you should probably scan Synaptic for something ipod related, for older versions | 06:45 |
| ubunubi | ronin1234: of course you can kill the mythtv front end//media center | 06:45 |
| ubunubi | ronin1234: it's ubuntu in the backend, so you can have a full gnome-desktop installed also if you're into that jazz/etc, not sure how it comes default | 06:46 |

| TehLulze | nickrud: I have it. Still isn't mounting | 07:07 |
| nickrud | TehLulze do tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, that will echo any kernel messages. Then plug in the touch, see what it the kernel says | 07:07 |
| nickrud | erm, gotta stop typing stream of consciousness | 07:08 |
| alliecat | anyway i have a broadcom 440x wireless adapter in my dell inspiron 1501, and i've always used ndiswrapper and the native windows drivers for it, through edgy, feisty and gutsy | 07:08 |

| bullgard4 | nickrud: You are kind enough to inform me about the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP. But this does not answer my question for a more precise name for 'signal'. ubunubi already suggested 'kernel process signal' but this term is very rarely used. | 07:10 |

| ubunubi | nonix4:: syntax? | 07:36 |
| Flannel | ubunubi: Does metacity --replace end? or does it need to be run with &? | 07:36 |
| nickrud | Parham have you run the self disk check on the boot screen? | 07:36 |
| Felix_Krull | nickrud, ugly or bad? It seems that for some it is bad, for other it is ugly. | 07:36 |
| === weldan- is now known as weldan | ||
| helpmeplease | Parham: do you have your learning cap on? | 07:36 |
| nonix4 | ... & sleep 5 && wine | 07:36 |
| Parham | Yes I have. Nothing comes up. | 07:36 |
| nonix4 | for five seconds assuming that is enough | 07:36 |
| Parham | I pressed enter on every option there. Only "Boot from the first harddisk" or something like that which is the last option works. | 07:36 |
| nickrud | Felix_Krull pretty sure it's the ugly. | 07:37 |
| ubunubi | Flannel:: I'm not 100% sure if it ends...I don't think it does...if i type it in a terminal alone, i get a blinking cursor after instead of being dropped back to the command line | 07:37 |
| enaner | what r ur opinions about mac4lin? | 07:37 |
| nickrud | Felix_Krull for mp3, that is | 07:37 |
| Flannel | HRshovinstuff: is this WoW by any chance? | 07:37 |
| HRshovinstuff | yes i already have it installed and working, but i made *.iso files from the dvds and even after mounting i still cannot see the executables /sigh | 07:38 |
| Felix_Krull | nickrud, But I can leave bad, since it is there? Sorry for asking stupid questions, but I read somewhere about collision between the two, and that some earlier Ubuntu used bad, and the other ugly. | 07:38 |
| Flannel | HRshovinstuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft#head-b007bc282e242d30a96585fcaf17b378451cf9da see the fourth bullet point | 07:38 |
| HRshovinstuff | Flannel: hey thanks ! | 07:39 |
| enaner | what r ur opinions about mac4lin? | 07:39 |
| Parham | I don't think the CD image is corrupted, though, but other than that, I don't know. | 07:39 |
| knoppix | hey guys im trying to make a grub screen for my usb key. how do I make one? | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Felix_Krull the bad are the ones that aren't very polished, as in written well. ugly are fine, but have licensing/patent issues, like mp3 | 07:39 |
| ubunubi | Flannel:: My script is still not doing what I want | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Parham then you should check your download with md5sum | 07:40 |
| Felix_Krull | nickrud: So, to uninstall bad? | 07:40 |
| nickrud | Parham if the other options don't run, its a bad download, or a bad disk burn | 07:40 |
| ubunubi | Flannel:: If I launch with my script, it's graphics are corrupted. If i type them by hand...in order (copy and paste from the script)....no corruption | 07:40 |
| ashish | how to call another computer | 07:40 |
| nickrud | Felix_Krull your choice. I have them | 07:40 |
| weldan | dial its number | 07:40 |
| Parham | Nickrud: How can I check which one is the case? | 07:40 |
| weldan | call, like what? | 07:41 |
| nickrud | !md5sum | Parham | 07:41 |
| ubottu | Parham: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 07:41 |
| chmac | Simple question, if you choose TLS security in Evolution, is mail still sent on port 25? Or does it use another port for TLS encrypted connections? | 07:41 |
| nickrud | Parham if the md5sum is good, then the disk is bad ;) | 07:41 |
| Felix_Krull | nickrud: Both? It doesn't matter? | 07:41 |
| tsukasa | hi everybody | 07:41 |
| ubunubi | nonix4:: the sleep is taking effect but it's not fixing my script how I hoped :( | 07:42 |
| weldan | tls, mua will connect to pop3 before smtp , something like that ? | 07:42 |
| nickrud | Felix_Krull it doesn't matter. If you have any qualms, I'd remove both bad versions | 07:42 |
| nonix4 | chmac: does your outgoing email even use any form of authentication? | 07:42 |
| ubunubi | nonix4:: is "killall fusion-icon" the BEST way to _guarantee_ that process dies a horribly painful death? | 07:42 |
| chmac | nonix4: Yeah, it supports TLS encryption, but I'm not sure what port TLS encrypted mail is supposed to be sent on | 07:42 |
| Intrepid | Anyone know how I can start a second x session that runs xterm on start but uses a different xorg.conf? | 07:42 |
| nonix4 | ubunubi: -9 for horribly painful death | 07:42 |
| ubunubi | nonix4:: wouldn't I need to know the PID each time for that? | 07:43 |
| weldan | kill -9 PID number | 07:43 |
| chmac | nonix4: I maintain the mail server, so I might need to open some extra ports on the firewall :) | 07:43 |
| nonix4 | ubunubi: no, with killall you don't need the pid | 07:43 |
| ubunubi | nonix4:: so i can killall -9 fusion-icon ? | 07:43 |
| Felix_Krull | nickrud: Thank you so much! | 07:44 |
| nickrud | working? | 07:44 |
| HRshovinstuff | Flannel: hey thanks, that totally was the most simple stupid thing ever lol <---- feels like rtard | 07:44 |
| nonix4 | chmac: usually most email encryption things deal only with first hop & authentication for that - rest goes unencrypted | 07:45 |
| nonix4 | (well, pgp/mime & alike are end-to-end) | 07:45 |
| pegasos | Heya. I have a problem. I try to start up Pidgin internet messenger and it is visible in the lower bar for a moment and then vanishes without starting. So I tried "pidgin -d" in terminal and error seems to be " main: exiting because another libpurple client is already running"... How do I fix this? | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] Why are there two desktop configuration files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Tunapie and /usr/share/applications/Tunapie) | 07:46 |
| moDumass | hey ALL sorry, so with a microsoft laser 6000 keyboard with lots of bells and whistles how do i get the increase font decrease font size button to work? | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] Why are there two desktop configuration files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Tunapie and /usr/share/applications/Tunapie? | 07:46 |
| alberto | ciao ragazzi, ho comprato un asus eee pc e ci ho messo eeexubuntu | 07:46 |
| chmac | nonix4: I understand that. Do you know if email sent via SMTP + TLS is sent on port 25 or a different port? Like http is 80 but https is not... | 07:46 |
| alberto | va benissimo, l'unico problema che non si spegne | 07:46 |
| alberto | cm devo fare??? | 07:46 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 I think the ones in /usr/share/applications are the for the menu, the other is for add/remove | 07:47 |
| Mezo | elo | 07:47 |
| nonix4 | chmac: the answer is: it depends - after http people decided it would be better to just use the same port... | 07:47 |
| Myrtti | !it | alberto | 07:47 |
| ubottu | alberto: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 07:47 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Ah! | 07:47 |
| Mezo | http://www.funny-games.biz/tortue-game.html | 07:47 |
| revilodraw | which file makes exaile run? | 07:47 |
| alberto | nn lo trovo ubuntu-it | 07:47 |
| nonix4 | chmac: but there are ports that are used for several ssl email protocols, some of the time - check /etc/services | 07:48 |
| chmac | nonix4: Ok, cool, so it can work on the same port, that's probably why my mail can't send, ISP blocks port 25, bah :( | 07:48 |
| nonix4 | ssmtp 465/tcp smtps # SMTP over SSL | 07:48 |
| HardDisk | revilodraw, sound & video, you'll see Exaile if you installed it correctly, ie sudo apt-get install exaile | 07:48 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 yes, dpkg -S clears that up | 07:49 |
| nonix4 | chmac: well when ISP blocks port 25 they usually supply an smtp server you're supposed to use as the first hop... | 07:49 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: I do not understand " yes, dpkg -S clears that up". Please elaborate. | 07:49 |
| chmac | nonix4: I know, I travel a lot though, so I prefer to use my own smtp server, authenticated | 07:50 |
| chmac | nonix4: Which also matches my SPF record, etc | 07:50 |
| NullNam1 | Any nmap experts out there??? | 07:50 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 dpkg -S /path/to/file says what package a file belongs to. I did a check on applications/yelp.desktop, says it's in yelp (actually, I already knew what applications was for, just needed to check app-install) | 07:50 |
| chmac | nonix4: I typically wrap evolution in a tsocks tunnel, but I'm looking at alternatives to that, looks like the port 25 issue won't go away any time soon :) | 07:50 |
| nonix4 | chmac: the percentage of ISPs blocking port 25 is high - your best bet is proper hosting service | 07:50 |
| tenX | NullNam1: an expert would be? | 07:50 |
| Parham | Thanks | 07:51 |
| nickrud | chmac you can always select a port ... | 07:51 |
| chmac | nonix4: What do you mean by "proper hosting service" ? | 07:51 |
| * Parham wavies. | 07:51 | |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, also if you type whereis name_of_application it will give you its location | 07:51 |
| NullNam1 | tenX: Someone who knows how to scan all 65535 ports on UDP and TCP at once while still using the -A option. | 07:51 |
| nickrud | Parham you found the fix? | 07:51 |
| revilodraw | HardDisk: i have exaile, i want to know where to post 'exaile --no-equalizer' to make it startup with the equalizer disabled | 07:51 |
| nickrud | s/fix/problem/ | 07:51 |
| Parham | Am looking. My screen reader is jibbering wildly while I'm in the IRC so I have to quit. Hehe. | 07:51 |
| chmac | nickrud: Yeah, I could probably map another port to 25 on my server's firewall... | 07:51 |
| bhc | weldan, http://ardhian.wordpress.com/2007/06/09/bikin-repositori-lokal-ubuntu-dari-dvd-repo/ | 07:51 |
| nonix4 | chmac: have an email server running at a hosting service, tunnel to that way or another | 07:52 |
| bhc | is it make any sense | 07:52 |
| nickrud | chmac or tell the server to use a different port, I use 587 to connect to my remote server | 07:52 |
| bhc | do you agree with it ? | 07:52 |
| weldan | chmac: at our office mail server, they're using port 587 port smtp | 07:52 |
| HardDisk | revilodraw, you can create a link on your desktop OR if you want to modify the main link, right click on applications, edit menu go to the location of sound & video, and edit the properties there | 07:52 |
| NullNam1 | tenX: Any ideas? | 07:52 |
| Parham | I could do md5sum with Cygwin though, so the only thing left is to compare the two and see if anything is wrong. | 07:52 |
| weldan | and tls enabled | 07:52 |
| bullgard4 | HardDisk: "detlef@MD97600:~$ whereis Tunapie; Tunapie:" (empty) | 07:52 |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, is it run with a T? or t | 07:53 |
| nonix4 | chmac: but you said you already have such a server somewhere? Try port 465? | 07:53 |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, whereis works best if you do sudo updatedb and that the application is installed via deb or repositories | 07:53 |
| ubunubi | weldan:: one more scripting question. if I have a program that doesn't terminate, but I want to close the terminal window without it killing the process...what symbol can I use? | 07:53 |
| bullgard4 | HardDisk: In both direcotries Tunapie is displayes with a capital first letter. | 07:53 |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, I didn't say folder, I meant the actual application | 07:54 |
| bhc | off | 07:54 |
| dns53 | ubunubi run ps -ef and get the process id, then use nohup pid to allow it to continue | 07:54 |
| ubunubi | dns53:: is there a cleaner way? | 07:54 |
| chmac | nonix4: I admin my own mailserver. Postfix is running but doesn't respond on port 465 | 07:54 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 you need to look inside the file to see what the executable is, exec= is what you look for | 07:55 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, I prefer the ps -x but dns53's line is the same, it's all about getting the PID | 07:55 |
| bullgard4 | HardDisk: All my applications on this computer are installed via Ubuntu repositories. This morning at 07:35 local time my computer did automatically run 'updatedb'. | 07:55 |
| chmac | nickrud, weldan: Is port 587 significant, or just chosen at random? | 07:55 |
| tofaffy | Anyone know why Ubuntu won't allow me to resize my windows parition? | 07:55 |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, I missed what the problem you are having exactly. | 07:55 |
| moDumass | hey all, currnetly dual booting with xp, and xp is the first boot option, how do i change this? | 07:55 |
| moDumass | !grub | 07:56 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:56 |
| HardDisk | tofaffy, you have to unmount a partition to resize it. | 07:56 |
| dns53 | ubunubi you can ctrl z then bg, but that will die when the shell dies, you can execute it with & at the end to do something similar | 07:56 |
| nonix4 | chmac: Hmm... you could check which ports you're listening to... also check out the ssmtp package | 07:56 |
| nickrud | chmac my home port was blocked on 25, and a remote mail server I was using used that. I just picked it up. | 07:56 |
| bullgard4 | HardDisk: Why are there two desktop configuration files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Tunapie and /usr/share/applications/Tunapie? | 07:56 |
| tofaffy | Well...I was booted in a live cd. why would it have mounted it? | 07:56 |
| ubunubi | dns53:: i'm trying to put it in the bg with &, but also want it to NOT die with the terminal closing | 07:56 |
| HardDisk | moDumass, sudo apt-get install startupmanager | 07:56 |
| meame | installing grub to usb drive, how do i do it? | 07:57 |
| HardDisk | moDumass, then it will be available for you in administration and you can edit it. | 07:57 |
| ubunubi | dns53: how do i parse out only the PID out of the ps -ef output? in a format that i can redirect into the nohup | 07:57 |
| dns53 | ubunubi you therfore need to use nohup, this sets a bit on the process to not die when the parent shell dies | 07:57 |
| moDumass | awesome thanks | 07:57 |
| Bilge | Is there a painless way to configure sendmail for Ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, one is the link one is the location of the binary. | 07:57 |
| moDumass | thanks HArdDisk | 07:57 |
| chmac | nonix4: How do I check which ports I'm listening to? | 07:57 |
| afallenhope | for some reason my alt and tab don't work | 07:57 |
| afallenhope | nor my shift key | 07:57 |
| HardDisk | !sendmail | 07:57 |
| ubottu | Factoid sendmail not found | 07:57 |
| afallenhope | hmmm... somethin's fishy with my comp | 07:57 |
| HardDisk | hmm ok nvm :) | 07:58 |
| moDumass | can i use this to remove the 20 or so other boot options i have from prev distro updates | 07:58 |
| afallenhope | i can't open a temrinal.. | 07:58 |
| afallenhope | it auto closes | 07:58 |
| weldan | chmac: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2476.txt | 07:58 |
| HardDisk | Bilge, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=196112 | 07:58 |
| chmac | Ok, port 587 is an alternative to 25 according to RFC 2476 apparently :) | 07:59 |
| HardDisk | afallenhope, hello again :) | 07:59 |
| Intrepid | chmac: suggestion: netstat -a | less | 07:59 |
| HardDisk | nvm :) | 07:59 |
| ubunubi | dns53: how do i parse out only the PID out of the ps -ef output? in a format that i can redirect into the nohup? sorry if this is asking too much of your time | 07:59 |
| chmac | Intrepid: netstat, that's the one, thanks :) | 07:59 |
| dns53 | ubunubi something like ps -ef|grep firefox |grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'|nohup i have not tested it | 07:59 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, I told you ps -x | grep nameofapp | 07:59 |
| airstrikeivanov | Hello everyone. When I try to install my Ubuntu, I get: ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } | 08:00 |
| ubunubi | Harddisk:: Sorry I had missed it. My eyes were scanning for dns's name! | 08:00 |
| HardDisk | dns53, too long | 08:00 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: The starter in both files is the same: 'tunapie'. So it does not help to differentiate between the two files (and the two directories in general). | 08:00 |
| airstrikeivanov | Does anyone know what that means? | 08:00 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov:: what motherboard do you have? | 08:00 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, all you need is that short line I posted. | 08:00 |
| airstrikeivanov | Don't know | 08:00 |
| airstrikeivanov | It's a pre-manufactured Dell Inspiron | 08:00 |
| dns53 | HardDisk maybe, btw you may need to add xargs and call nohup | 08:00 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 dpkg -S does that. By telling you which package a file belongs to. The package determines function | 08:00 |
| HardDisk | dns53, why? | 08:01 |
| airstrikeivanov | I'm on an incredibly old 7.04 harddisk I have backed up right now | 08:01 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov: are you booting the liveCD...or directly into the install? or already installed but won't boot? | 08:01 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 and /usr/share/applications is defined by the freedesktop standard as the place to put menu entries | 08:01 |
| airstrikeivanov | I'm booting Ubuntu Server | 08:01 |
| airstrikeivanov | Nothing is installed on the hard disk, save Windows, which I have no desire to keep | 08:01 |
| HardDisk | airstrikeivanov, I would do a HD physical check. | 08:01 |
| dns53 | HardDisk well does nohup read stdin or do you need to provide it as an argument? | 08:01 |
| batka | morning guys, i have the boot hanging with a black screen need to restart several times before ubuntu starts the X, any idea where to look for what is causing it? | 08:01 |
| Parham | Hi again! | 08:01 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov: but are you trying to use the liveCD portion to try it out..or are you wanting to intsall? | 08:02 |
| airstrikeivanov | No, it's all a text-based installer | 08:02 |
| HardDisk | dns53, I am not sure to be quite honest. | 08:02 |
| tenX | airstrikeivanov: what more can you ask for? | 08:02 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov: do you know how to add kernal boot parameters? | 08:02 |
| Parham | I checked the md5sum. The hashes differ, and they differ a lot. Is there a way to repair the different parts or I have to redownload the whole file again? | 08:02 |
| airstrikeivanov | ubunubi: I don't. | 08:02 |
| HardDisk | airstrikeivanov, as I mentioned I would do a HD check if I were you. | 08:02 |
| nonix4 | chmac: netstat -an; lsof -i # you might want to check out postfix TLS docs, http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html | 08:02 |
| airstrikeivanov | I did, the disk is just fine | 08:03 |
| airstrikeivanov | It was working until after I tried to partition in the UbuntuServer installer | 08:03 |
| darrend | what significance does ~/.gvfs have? My rsync based backup script complains about not being able to read it. | 08:03 |
| HardDisk | airstrikeivanov, also you may have shutdown windows incorrectly, hence a dirty unmount. | 08:03 |
| airstrikeivanov | The first format worked, but when I had to reboot and try it again, it stopped working. | 08:03 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov: when you're at the screen that loads soon as the CD launches, move the highlighted bar down to the install option..and you should see an editable text line under that | 08:03 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 for the /usr/share/applications, http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#paths | 08:03 |
| darrend | it shows up in mtab as used by gvfs-fuse-daemon | 08:03 |
| HardDisk | darrend, .gvfs is your nautilus interface | 08:03 |
| nickrud | Parham redownload | 08:03 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yeah, the F6 text-line | 08:03 |
| airstrikeivanov | I've seen it | 08:03 |
| revilodraw | HardDisk: tried that, but when exai;e runs on startup it doesnt run with the equalizer disabled... i have edited it in 'sessions' too... | 08:04 |
| Parham | Thanks. | 08:04 |
| darrend | HardDisk: thx - why would rsnapshot be unable to read it suddenly? | 08:04 |
| HardDisk | revilodraw, sessions doesn't work that way. | 08:04 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov: you want to add "all_generic_ide" to the end of the boot parameters | 08:04 |
| airstrikeivanov | Okay | 08:04 |
| airstrikeivanov | Let me go try that! | 08:04 |
| darrend | HardDisk: I've run rsnapshot for months, this started happening yesterday | 08:04 |
| HardDisk | darrend, not sure about that question though | 08:04 |
| airstrikeivanov | Be back in a bit. | 08:04 |
| tenX | airstrikeivanov: is F6 a new us airplane threatening the rest of the world? | 08:04 |
| HardDisk | wait ubunubi | 08:04 |
| darrend | HardDisk: ok, thx. | 08:04 |
| HardDisk | mmm | 08:04 |
| === markito is now known as srinux | ||
| ubunubi | He left before my further advice | 08:04 |
| moDumass | HardDisk with this StartUp Manager the resolution selection doesnt include my current resolution | 08:05 |
| HardDisk | the all_generic_ide is usually my first answer :) but his case may need to unmount his drive first correctly | 08:05 |
| HardDisk | and remove the quite splash -- | 08:05 |
| HardDisk | moDumass, that only modifies the startup parts, it doesn't touch your Gnome | 08:05 |
| andrew__ | I'm trying to install something VIA terminal and it's popping up "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" as an error. Any help? | 08:05 |
| Intrepid | tenX: Negative. The F6 is an RAF supersonic interceptor, introduced 1959. | 08:05 |
| revilodraw | HardDisk: cani pm you a screenshot to show u? | 08:06 |
| Starnestommy | andrew__: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 08:06 |
| moDumass | awesome | 08:06 |
| moDumass | thanls | 08:06 |
| nickrud | HardDisk do you know of a short doc describing .gvfs ? | 08:06 |
| ubunubi | HardDisk: I had the same error he did. First I did ACPI=OFF..and it worked..but i wanted ACPI..found IRQPOLL alone worked but has a performance hit..tried alL_generic_ide by itself..and worked beautifully with ACPI operational and not needing the performance hit of IRQPOLL | 08:06 |
| bullgard4 | HardDisk: mc does not indicate that one of the two files tunapie.desktop is a link. | 08:06 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, problem he left and didn't get info on his board. | 08:06 |
| ubunubi | yeah :( | 08:06 |
| HardDisk | revilodraw, sure | 08:06 |
| HardDisk | nickrud, I can check for you | 08:07 |
| nickrud | HardDisk I can probably find one. I was hoping that you had a clue already ;) | 08:07 |
| ubunubi | HardDisk: AFAIK attempting to boot with that option can cause no harm, he has no data on the disk (and even if he did it would be very unlikely if not impossible for it to corrupt it) | 08:07 |
| chmac | nonix4: Sweet, thanks for that link :) | 08:07 |
| HardDisk | bullgard4, I assume, since not all applications are identically the same way of how they are located. | 08:07 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, no no harm at all whatsoever. | 08:07 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, you were right to give that advice | 08:07 |
| moDumass | HardDisk, will I still have the option to boot into windows if i have to? | 08:08 |
| HardDisk | moDumass, yes you just want to arrange the order, or change which starts default | 08:08 |
| batka | hi guys, which log except for boot and messages would reflect problems at boot time? | 08:08 |
| moDumass | coolya, thanks | 08:08 |
| HardDisk | moDumass, basically it's like changing the boot.ini file in windows | 08:08 |

| HardDisk | nickrud, check this too blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2007/07/20/gvfs-presentation-slides | 08:09 |
| moDumass | HardDisk, sweet, will I still have the option to go to windows before coming into linux, or do i need to load int linux and change default boot option first | 08:09 |
| nickrud | ah, now that looks good | 08:10 |
| andrew__ | Okay. Getting build-essential helped, but it still won't create the make-file correctly. | 08:10 |

| airstrikeivanov | Does anyone know how to fix the error: ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } / ata1.00: error: { UNC } | 08:16 |
| mindframe | i suppose i could boot off of it but i really wanted to know where the package information is stored so i could grepgrepgrep it | 08:16 |
| nickrud | mindframe you can grep over /var/lib/dpkg/status in the backup | 08:16 |
| koRn | hello | 08:16 |
| ubunubi | airstrikeivanov: did the all_generic_ide not work for you? | 08:16 |
| dns53 | mindframe ok you can chroot into that partition, run get-selections and then apply that to your current install | 08:16 |
| mindframe | oh i forgot about chroot | 08:16 |
| mindframe | <- sleepy | 08:16 |

| dpince | So I'm running off of the liveboot ubuntu CD, and my wireless driver seems to be working (It's an atheros ar5006EG driver). Does this mean that if I reformat my computer and install Ubuntu instead of Windows XP, my wireless will work for sure? | 08:40 |

| HardDisk | ubunubi, screen corruption...? | 08:43 |
| dpince | TenX: I'm getting a proprietary driver warning for my atheros wireless drivers. It's difficult for me to hardwire into my router, so wireless is pretty much required if I reformat to Ubuntu. Basically is the wireless works out of the box from the liveboot, does that mean it will work out of the box if I do a full reformat/install? | 08:43 |
| ubunubi | HardDisk: Uhm, yes, but within the program I launched, not my desktop | 08:43 |
| Zoidfarb | HardDisk, grr, then I need to not only give Windows enough space on the primary partition for the paging file, I need to have a separate (basically unused) swap partition for Linux. Any suggestions? | 08:43 |
| tenX | dpince: nobody will ever guarentee you anything on that open source base | 08:44 |
| Zoidfarb | dpince, if you're using a restricted driver, it will likely work fine | 08:44 |
| HardDisk | Zoidfarb, use as little swap you need, eg for linux 1.5gb is more than enough, you can go with 1GB if you must providing enough ram is available. | 08:44 |
| Pdavey | whats the sudo apt-get command thing for Terminal? | 08:44 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 in what way? | 08:44 |

| HardDisk | ubunubi, what is the error message? | 08:45 |
| bazhang_ | Pdavey, its how to install or remove software packages | 08:45 |
| ubunubi | HardDisk: no error msg. just visual artifacts | 08:45 |
| tenX | dpince: afaik there's even kernel support nowadays, and even distros support madwifi | 08:45 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, may I ask the nature of your script? | 08:45 |
| Myrtti | just a quick reminder to everyone, this is Ubuntu Support channel, we'd like you to keep the issues, questions and discussions to problems and questions relating directly to Ubuntu and the software available for it, and so on. for other issues, see !offtopic | 08:45 |
| Pdavey | bazhang_: what is the correct wording for terminal? | 08:45 |
| tenX | dpince: at least you can simply compile and integrate madwifi from svn into your running system | 08:45 |
| dns53 | ubunubi use pastebin and let us see the whole thing | 08:45 |
| bazhang_ | Pdavey, you want to install it? it is already there (gnome-terminal) | 08:46 |
| Zoidfarb | pdavey, "sudo apt-get install <whatever package>" | 08:46 |
| tenX | dpince: still think that will probably not be needed anymore nowadays (deprecated) | 08:46 |
| dpince | tenX: Fair enough, I'm not looking for any guarantees or anything I just would like access to the internet after installing ubuntu so that I can have resources at my disposal for getting everything else up and running. | 08:46 |
| tenX | dpince: accessing the internet sounds like you have no idea of basic settings for that | 08:47 |
| Zoidfarb | dpince, can you access the internet while running off the live CD? | 08:47 |
| HardDisk | dpince, know that your atheros is capable of supporting multiple access points from your one chip. That's what makes it good, so install ubuntu and any trouble we're here. | 08:47 |
| tenX | dpince: not meant as an offence.. | 08:47 |
| dpince | Yea, I am extremely new to linux. | 08:47 |

| tenX | Zoidfarb: what do you mean? | 08:49 |
| Zoidfarb | tenX, "basic network knowledge is platform independant", let's not get snarky here. = ) | 08:49 |

| Pdavey | Zoidfarb: well a few minutes ago I installed the flashplugin-nonfree from the Internet. Only that the plugin doesn't appear in Firefox and I thought I had to install the package from Terminal? Which I tried but didn't do anything. | 08:49 |

| Varan | so not the default /var/lib/mysql | 08:53 |
| nickrud | Varan wow, you've really messed around ;) | 08:53 |
| Varan | dont know why... but it failed at that | 08:53 |
| Varan | yes :P | 08:54 |
| Varan | i searched on the inet how to move the files ... and did it correctly ... but mysql would not start | 08:54 |
| nickrud | Varan do sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0 , and put the results on paste.ubuntu.com | 08:54 |
| Varan | claiming the permissiosn where wrong | 08:54 |
| ubunubi | Harddisk && dns53 :: the script is RUNNING fine. It's doing everything I want..but when I use the script for the launch...I get the visual artifacts, versus manually running the same commands | 08:54 |
| Pdavey | Zoidfarb: well a few minutes ago I installed the flashplugin-nonfree from the Internet. Only that the plugin doesn't appear in Firefox and I thought I had to install the package from Terminal? Which I tried but didn't do anything. | 08:55 |
| gnumm | is it ok to install esound on ubuntu 8.04? | 08:55 |
| tenX | dpince: but my basic line was that nobody can gurantee everything working right off from some damn colorful surface (excuse me, 16 color fan). from my experience your wlan device will work right off with a modern ubuntu distro (especially with an ath chipset) right off | 08:55 |
| Varan | nickrud: works now! ... i tryed apt-get purge instead of remove --purge | 08:55 |

| sorry. | 09:00 | |
| persi | oh xchat is irc client, do I have to try it? chatzilla works fine here | 09:00 |
| dns53 | ubunubi what i think is happening is wow is running and returning instantly, so everything after wow is running straight away | 09:00 |
| ubunubi | dns53:: the && means "wait until previous command exits", correct?..or is my script zooming on to the reloading? | 09:00 |
| ubunubi | dns53:: my thoughts exactly | 09:00 |
| ubunubi | dns53:: any potential fix? | 09:01 |
| bazhang_ | persi, thought your troubles were with irc; they are not? | 09:01 |
| tenX | persi: chatzilla is availabe for what platforms? whatever it may be :) | 09:01 |
| dns53 | ubunubi well lets see if that is happening, add this to the script before and after that line, date > datefile and after date >>datefile, if the times are the same then that is what it is doing | 09:02 |

| dns53 | ackbahr this is a known issue with playback and video, there are ways of getting around it by using a different video out method (can't remember at the moment) | 09:03 |
| tenX | ackbahr: yeah it's called flip'da'script | 09:04 |
| ubunubi | dns53:: as a warning i can't load pastebin.com atm for DNS issues I guess...so you'd need to use the same pastebin.ca i did | 09:04 |

| gnomefreak | !sudo | amirman84 (please see your pm) | 09:11 |
| ubottu | amirman84 (please see your pm): 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) | 09:11 |
| arlbee | that will allow me to be able to see & use my 2nd HDD ? | 09:12 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu-ops's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 09:45 |
| airstrikeivanov | I just reinstalled about ten minutes ago | 09:45 |
| bazhang_ | tenX, private message? | 09:45 |
| tenX | bazhang_: sure | 09:45 |
| alcor | bazhang_: but i not zh-cn i can't use cn | 09:45 |
| dns53 | airstrikeivanov something like http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse | 09:45 |
| nickrud | airstrikeivanov you should have an /etc/apt/sources.list then. uncomment lines similar to the one dns53 just gave you | 09:46 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, cn hk or tw? | 09:46 |
| dns53 | airstrikeivanov you should also add deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted | 09:46 |
| nickrud | airstrikeivanov except for backports and proposed | 09:46 |
| alcor | cn | 09:46 |
| airstrikeivanov | I havce the sources.list, but the only line in it is deb cdrom | 09:46 |
| alcor | bazhang_: cn | 09:46 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, what are you trying to do? please explain clearly | 09:47 |
| tenX, it does not look like a problem with WPA_supplicant configuration ... I changed my access point to use WEP and it still does not work ... | 09:47 | |
| airstrikeivanov | Can someone give me an example line out of their sources.list, so I know what to put in? | 09:47 |
| arlbee | Legend.....the 2nd HDD is WD | 09:48 |
| nickrud | airstrikeivanov http://paste.ubuntu.com/20093/ , replace my oakland with archive.ubuntu.com , or another mirror (unless you're in california) | 09:48 |
| naught101 | my system settings is reporting that my intel915 graphics card is using the i810 driver | 09:48 |
| airstrikeivanov | I'm in CA so that works./ | 09:48 |
| dns53 | airstrikeivanov add a line like: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu <release> main restricted universe multiverse | 09:48 |
| bazhang_ | airstrikeivanov, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and copy to paste.ubuntu.com | 09:48 |
| naught101 | by default, in hardy | 09:48 |
| naught101 | is that normal? | 09:48 |
| Tankado | Where are the source codes for the system calls stored on ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| airstrikeivanov | I'm not at the server atm | 09:49 |
| gramm | I am getting this error when I am pushing a project to launchpad for the first time (project setup through launchpad): "bzr: ERROR: Target directory already exists, but does not have a valid .bzr directory. Supply --use-existing-dir to push there anyway." | 09:49 |
| Tankado | i cant seems to access sys/fs/open.c | 09:49 |
| airstrikeivanov | I haven't got anything on it set up yet | 09:49 |
| naught101 | shouldn't it be using the "intel" driver? | 09:49 |
| nickrud | airstrikeivanov just save that file then :) Where in CA | 09:49 |
| alcor | bazhang_: i want to open *.rofs change some file | 09:49 |
| JbCrash | in windows..program saved in programs folder..in ubuntu..which dir i can find all program installed? | 09:49 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, why do you want to change that file--please explain | 09:50 |
| gramm | i heard that hardy will be getting a service pack (8.04.1) soon, is this true? | 09:50 |
| MatthewV | JbCrash, you can't... linux programs will put the appropriate files in different directories... what were you looking for? | 09:50 |
| legend2440 | arlbee: ok so if you want you can mount that 2nd HD to a folder called WD ...so in a terminal type sudo mkdir /media/WD but you can call the folder anything you want like /media/Data or whatever. ok? | 09:50 |
| nickrud | gramm yes, that will be a new install cd. If you install now, and keep up with updates, you'll get that version transparently | 09:50 |
| gramm | nickrud: cool, thanks. | 09:51 |
| Tankado | how can i search for a file in my system? | 09:51 |
| alcor | cdrom/ etc/ tmp/ in the *.rofs i want to delete cdrom/ tmp/ | 09:51 |
| JbCrash | MatthewV: i installed audacity used synatic..i want install plugin for this software..want know where i can find this program folder? | 09:51 |
| airstrikeivanov | How do I get the file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/20093/plain/ into my sources.list easily? | 09:51 |
| nickrud | Tankado locate <file> | 09:51 |
| alcor | bazhang_: cdrom/ etc/ tmp/ in the *.rofs i want to delete cdrom/ tmp/ | 09:51 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, why do you want to delete that | 09:51 |
| baalsgate | if i wanted to create a graphical interface to display gauges what software should i look at developing it in ? | 09:52 |
| dns53 | airstrikeivanov the easiest way is to use ssh, openssh-server comes on the cd i believe | 09:52 |
| nickrud | airstrikeivanov put it on a thumbdrive, and echo <thatfile> >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:52 |
| Tankado | thanks nickrud | 09:52 |
| airstrikeivanov | No thumbdrive | 09:52 |
| MatthewV | JbCrash, just wait a moment, I'll check exactly where you put plugins | 09:52 |
| airstrikeivanov | Let me write this link down and try it | 09:52 |
| naught101 | my system settings is reporting that my intel915 graphics card is using the i810 driver by default, in hardy | 09:53 |

| bazhang_ | alcor, that is not using what? | 09:53 |
| tenX | QQ: if you need basic help on wlan just qry | 09:53 |
| MatthewV | JbCrash, I think the folder you are looking for is /usr/share/audacity/plug-ins/ | 09:54 |

| ubunubi | [Question] By what method are programs launched by the Alt+F2 method that don't require being bound to a terminal window? Or when you run a script it says "run" or "run in a terminal"..how is the regular "run" functioning? | 09:55 |
| eth01 | nickrud: what if he doesn't live in the US? | 09:56 |
| ubunubi | Is it just nohup'ing and putting in the background then closing the terminal? | 09:56 |
| rdz | yo.. guys.... i just want to express my joy, that so many things now just work out of the box since hardy... cool work! really! | 09:56 |
| rdz | webcam setup is so DEAD easy now | 09:56 |
| ekzii | vsem privet | 09:56 |
| eth01 | mm, well he does.. but still, it could be laggy | 09:57 |

| tenX | Starnestommy: what "system call" what that be | 09:57 |
| ubunubi | Starnestommy: Is there a way I can do that on my own? Or is nohuping, putting in the background, and closing the terminal as close as I can get to doing it manually? | 09:57 |
| nickrud | fadi you're using the menu bar, applications places system, and going to system->prefs->sessions ? | 09:58 |
| alcor | bazhang_: i want to delete etc/fstab file in *.rofs! | 09:58 |
| Starnestommy | ubunubi: you could do that or compile a program that makes those calls | 09:58 |
| fadi | nickrud yes | 09:58 |
| eth01 | a system call is the request made by an application to request [ a ] service(s) from the OS itself | 09:58 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, why do you wish to do that, praytell? | 09:58 |
| fadi | when i press a Sessions nothing happend | 09:58 |
| fadi | !! | 09:58 |

| airstrikeivanov | How do I find out what video card I have installed? | 10:01 |

| eth01 | you don't have to solely use system calls | 10:01 |
| eth01 | system calls are just one way. | 10:01 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, which hdd? an external one or other | 10:02 |
| alcor | which hdd | 10:02 |
| airstrikeivanov | Intel Corporation 82865G, anyone know if that's good or bad? | 10:02 |
| eth01 | whilst indeed it be the most common mechanism, it's just one of the ways tbh | 10:02 |
| tenX I need basic help with my wlan. | 10:02 | |
| Drenesh | Depends on what you want to do. If it displays video, its fine ;) | 10:02 |

| bazhang_ | alcor, auto mount which hard drive next boot | 10:05 |
| nickrud | fadi it's getting late here, so if we can't figure this out quickly I need to go to bed | 10:05 |
| alcor | bazhang_: auto mount all hdd | 10:06 |
| bazhang_ | !fstab | alcor read this | 10:06 |
| ubottu | alcor read this: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 10:06 |
| bazhang_ | alcor, read those links | 10:06 |
| corgans | anyone able to help with lvm on ubuntu? | 10:07 |
| tenX | alcor: i dont know what you're up to - but as for me using external hdds as backup devices i would prefer mounting them manually via scripting so users can easily change drives without the need of any further action | 10:08 |
| jgoo | Hey guys - thought this firefox issue with fsync was supposed to be fixed? | 10:09 |
| jgoo | I've updated to FF3 and FF is still unusable | 10:09 |
| tenX | jgoo: fsync is? | 10:09 |
| jgoo | a function called to flush the data from the sqllite db to disk | 10:09 |
| tenX | jgoo: thank you | 10:09 |
| jgoo | and apparently the guy who talked about the bug thinks the problem isn't calling this 000 | 10:10 |
| jgoo | 's of times a second, but how it is handled. | 10:10 |
| alcor | tenX: livecd can auto mount all hdd | 10:10 |
| alcor | tenX: livecd can auto mount all hdd if not /etc/fstab | 10:10 |
| tenX | alcor: yes they are most of the times configured to mount existing hdds | 10:10 |
| jgoo | so, what is the status? I've google and heard all kinds of 'there is a problem' we are fixing it... what he heck- FF is just unusable at times. | 10:11 |
| bullgard4 | Does Ubuntu define a variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS? | 10:11 |

| tenX | jgoo: ff doesnt contain any errors | 10:12 |
| alcor | tenX: yes i need it . it can't to auto mount if had /etc/fstab | 10:12 |
| tenX | jgoo: every incident is user dependant | 10:12 |
| bazhang_ | tenX, not helpful please stop | 10:13 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 that's defined as /usr/share | 10:13 |
| tenX | alcor: its up to you :) edit /etc/fstab | 10:13 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Where? | 10:13 |
| tenX | alcor: asking google for /etc/fstab will present examples i am sure | 10:13 |
| alcor | tenX: so i want to delete /etc/fstab | 10:13 |
| gnomefreak | jgoo: if you are having issues try running it in safe-mode and/or remove extensions | 10:13 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 when the package is compiled | 10:13 |
| tenX | alcor: no! | 10:13 |
| gnomefreak | jgoo: another good way would be to try with new profile | 10:13 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 like $CONFIGDIR for ./configure | 10:13 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: What package? | 10:14 |
| tenX | alcor: edit it but do not delete | 10:14 |
| jgoo | gnomefreak, no extensions (ok I lied, latest firebug and scrapbook) but I've already tried in an empty startup (safemode) | 10:14 |
| gnomefreak | jgoo: over 80% of problems with firefox are caused by profile damage or extensions | 10:14 |
| gnomefreak | jgoo: are you on hardy? | 10:14 |
| gnomefreak | jgoo: upstream firebug is broken | 10:14 |

| jgoo | gnomefreak, I know, I was hunting for that, but it seems like this fync issue. yes on hardy. well let me try and (I have latest firebug, it works - unless you mean broken in another way) | 10:15 |
| tenX | alcor: too drunk as i am? wouldnt touch anything right now ;) | 10:15 |
| alcor | tenX: it's Read-only file | 10:15 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 it's not an evironment variable, like $PATH . It's system defined, like $CONFIGDIR is defined as /etc | 10:15 |
| Smith | finally | 10:15 |
| tenX | alcor: permissions... | 10:15 |
| Smith | i just got this linux chat thing figured out | 10:15 |

| Smith | omg | 10:24 |
| nickrud | bazhang_ my two cents, I'm done | 10:24 |
| Smith | how do i install thunderbird? | 10:24 |
| Smith | i have a bunch of so files | 10:24 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: what version of ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| nickrud | Smith you'd have to do that on windows, then transfer the mbox's to ubuntu (if that's what you want to do) | 10:24 |
| MatthewV | w3D, not by microsoft word, openoffice on windows will open openoffice documents created linux/windows | 10:24 |
| w3D | thank you | 10:24 |
| Smith | i have the dbx files | 10:24 |
| Smith | wow | 10:25 |
| SlimG | Smith: find the thunderbird package in you package maintenance application (synaptics) and install it | 10:25 |
| MatthewV | w3D, if you need to open the documents in MS word, just save them as ms word .doc documents in openoffice | 10:25 |
| Smith | so i dont need to download it from mozilla website? | 10:25 |
| === dennis_ is now known as Sprocket | ||
| w3D | ah cool, thanks for the info. | 10:25 |
| SlimG | Smith: no | 10:25 |
| Smith | dang it | 10:26 |
| Smith | thats handy | 10:26 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 a convention. Like when ubuntu compiles an application $SYSCONFDIR=/etc, and $PREFIX=/usr , that kind of convention | 10:26 |
| avis | Smith, to install thunderbird just 'sudo aptitude install thunderbird' thats it | 10:26 |
| alcor | nickrud: not /etc/fstab in livecd . so can boot as auto mount | 10:26 |
| nickrud | alcor you have an installed ubuntu system? | 10:26 |
| bazhang_ | alcor you have been told that will not work; please stop | 10:26 |
| alcor | nickrud:no | 10:27 |
| Smith | thanks for help | 10:27 |
| gnomefre1k | Smith: sudo apt-get install thunderbird | 10:27 |
| nickrud | Smith doesn't matter, linux thunderbird doesn't have that part of thunderbird | 10:27 |
| Smith | one more thing, my side button on mouse doesnt go back | 10:27 |
| tenX | alcor: exactly.. deleting /etc/fstab is like goin crazy on regedit or system32 | 10:27 |
| Smith | your joking | 10:27 |
| gnomefre1k | nickrud: what part? | 10:27 |
| Smith | this. is. bad. news. | 10:27 |
| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| nickrud | gnomefre1k the part that imports outlook | 10:28 |
| w3D | what is knmap? i've heard of nmap but not knmap | 10:28 |
| gnomefreak | nickrud: ah yes | 10:28 |
| alcor | tenX: i only know how to delete /etc/fstab | 10:28 |
| gnomefreak | nickrud: that is one of the most popular requests so upstream may be adding it in future but as of right now Tbird 3.0 doesnt have it | 10:28 |
| Smith | dang it, this linux thing is not working for me | 10:29 |
| nickrud | Smith you can't run the windows system? | 10:29 |
| tenX | alcor: go ahead. we're tired. don't forget to keep your windoze cd ready | 10:29 |
| Smith | no, i was doing a clean xp install, and then the xp disc decided to stop working | 10:29 |
| corgans | will using pvcreate wipe the data on a device that has been setup with LVM previously? | 10:30 |
| tenX | Smith: copying files or installing? | 10:30 |
| Smith | reinstalling xp | 10:30 |
| w3D | dont do it! | 10:30 |
| w3D | its a trap | 10:30 |
| Smith | i have programs for xp | 10:30 |
| tenX | Smith: that was not the question as for me.. | 10:30 |
| nickrud | Smith beg a friend to allow you to set up a temporary user, set up outlook, import the dbx , then install thunderbird, import the outlook, transfer to ubuntu, then import the mbox's | 10:30 |
| Smith | like, Adobe Master Collection | 10:30 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: please stay on topic if you are not sure what that may be type /topic | 10:31 |
| * nickrud sidles off | 10:31 | |
| Smith | i have many questions, that is the problem gnome | 10:31 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: you said you are going back to xp and than trayed offtopic if you need help with Ubuntu than please stick to Ubuntu questions. | 10:32 |
| gnomefreak | s/trayed/strayed | 10:33 |
| Smith | what does this mean? ŸzŸzŸu.žÄÄzŸzŸzŸ:/Ž..zŸzŸŸÓŽ | 10:33 |
| corgans | LVM/ubuntu anyone? | 10:34 |
| bazhang_ | corgans, setting up or configuring | 10:34 |
| corgans | i had a device setup as LVM | 10:35 |
| gnomefreak | nickrud: feel free to help him if you want. i know you spent alot of time and he didnt get anywhere | 10:35 |
| corgans | and it disappeared after reboot | 10:35 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: stay on topic | 10:35 |
| corgans | I'm sure the data is there | 10:35 |
| nickrud | gnomefreak I gave the best advice I had | 10:35 |
| gnomefreak | nickrud: i figured as much | 10:35 |
| nickrud | ouch!! | 10:35 |
| corgans | i want to know if starting again and using pvcreate will wipe the data on the device | 10:35 |
| gnomefreak | nickrud: i sat here watching | 10:36 |
| Smith | gnomefreak: so I copy files to different computer, put in outlook with temp user, than import with thunderbird, than save/compact as .mbox? | 10:36 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: sound fine | 10:36 |
| eth01 | alot isn't a word. it's a lot. | 10:36 |
| Smith | ok everbody, that topic is closed. I am now going on to another topic | 10:37 |
| Smith | my side button on my mouse doesnt go "back" in firefox, where can I change it | 10:37 |
| mad_max02 | anyone knows the release date for new UT3 game for linux ?? | 10:37 |
| elkbuntu | eth01, alot is a town in india. it's probably not quite appropriate discussion for a tech support channel though. | 10:37 |

| CraigW | ok, no matter what version of UBUNTU i install, right after i get the GRUB Error 21 | 10:38 |
| n2diy | Why doesn't this work in my /etc/apt/sources.list file? deb http://packages.debian.org/stable/ | 10:38 |
| tenX | mad_max02: will there be a linux release again? last game i played was ut2k4 back in they days.. it worked like a charm on my *nix systems :) | 10:39 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: you dont want to put that line in there | 10:39 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: debian binaries are bad and can screw up Ubuntu system | 10:39 |
| nickrud | n2diy probably because all the pakages ther are much older versions than in ubuntu. what gnomefreak just said is also good advice | 10:39 |
| bazhang_ | tenx take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:39 |
| dns53 | mad_max02 they are usually good, ether at release or within a week or two | 10:39 |
| CraigW | ok, no matter what version of UBUNTU i install, right after i get the GRUB Error 21 | 10:40 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, yes I do, I need to get ancient hardware working with Breezy, and ok on that nickrud. | 10:40 |
| tenX | bazhang_: i stopped playing games quiete some years ago it was just basic interest | 10:40 |
| bazhang_ | tenx this is not the channel to discuss in | 10:41 |
| Jakke77 | secondlife aint work right | 10:41 |
| Smith | gnomefreak: in the xorg file I don't have a thing with buttons | 10:41 |
| MatthewV | !repeat | CraigW | 10:41 |
| ubottu | CraigW: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 10:41 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: if you are using breezy that repo should work but you are risking your system due to debian uses different deps and build with different config flags | 10:42 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: i didnt tell you to see that file for anything | 10:42 |
| CraigW | MatthewV i have looked on all the sites, even asked here and am getting nothing that will fix it | 10:42 |
| shooood | hi everyone | 10:42 |
| dns53 | CraigW try creating a /boot drive | 10:42 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: breezy isnt supported by ubuntu anylonger | 10:42 |
| tenX | bazhang_: if linux as a whole wants to get further we need linux game versions as supplied | 10:42 |
| Smith | gnomefreak: its the file in the guide you sent me | 10:42 |
| gnomefreak | Smith: i didnt send you to a link | 10:42 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, understood, if I can't get it working, the box goes to a land fill, so no risk here. | 10:42 |
| Smith | no? | 10:42 |
| nickrud | Smith that was me. And, it seems you would need to add that stuff | 10:42 |
| CraigW | dns53 tried it already | 10:43 |
| dns53 | CraigW try creating a /boot drive towards the start of the disk | 10:43 |
| bazhang_ | tenX, take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:43 |

| cr4ftyb0n36 | How is ipod support on Ubuntu Hardy? esp the ipod classic(6g) | 10:52 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: why doesnt he just use debian if it works with his hardware. what hardware item isnt working on Ubuntu and does he have 256 memory 20gig harddrive | 10:52 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: yes | 10:52 |
| revilodraw | will someone please look at this screenshot and tell my why exaile still runs as 'exaile' on startup, and not 'exaile --no-equalizer', which is how i want it to start?? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=20sdguc&s=3 | 10:52 |
| bazhang_ | !ipod | 10:52 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 10:52 |
| bazhang_ | cr4ftyb0n36, see above | 10:52 |
| gnomefreak | cr4ftyb0n36: not too bad but you would need to ask about an app since not all apps are built with ipod support | 10:52 |
| cr4ftyb0n36 | well amarok. I did see that lik | 10:52 |
| cr4ftyb0n36 | link | 10:52 |
| cr4ftyb0n36 | But I'd like feedback more than instructions | 10:53 |
| gnomefreak | fallenhope|sleep: please dont use away messages in channels use /away <reason> | 10:53 |
| friedchicken | exit | 10:53 |
| cr4ftyb0n36 | I got gifted an ipod and now I have two. So I plan to use the new one exclusively for videos since I didn't like the sound quality much on it | 10:53 |
| bazhang_ | !best | cr4ftyb0n36 | 10:53 |
| ubottu | cr4ftyb0n36: 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. | 10:53 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, the box is a Pentium 500 mhz, with 128m of ram, the hardrive isn't an issue. I'm hand holding him, and would like to stay as close to Ubuntu as possibly. | 10:54 |
| gnomefreak | cr4fcrits not too bad but last i heard it doesnt work like itunes it is missing something (cant remember what) i think it was just to sync | 10:54 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: use edgyor feisty both have much better support for hardware | 10:54 |
| gnomefreak | s/edgyor/edgy or | 10:55 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: 128 is a bit low for gutsy or hardy but should run just really badly | 10:55 |
| tenX | gnomefreak: 128? just came in | 10:55 |
| gnomefreak | tenX: huh? | 10:56 |
| gnomefreak | tenX: 128 memory | 10:56 |
| cr4ftyb0n36 | those instructions on those link are only up through Gutsy. | 10:56 |
| tenX | gnomefreak: 128? mb? | 10:56 |
| gnomefreak | tenX: yes | 10:56 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, I don't need hardware support, I need SF support. I can't even load Dapper on this machine, but if I could get gnumeric, and abiword, I'd be all set to go. | 10:56 |
| arlbee | legend2440 r u there ? | 10:56 |
| legend2440 | yes | 10:57 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: what is the issue with installing dapper? | 10:57 |
| tenX | gnomefreak: wow in third world countries like mine we can dream of that amount of ram | 10:57 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, not enough ram | 10:57 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: use the alternate cd | 10:57 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: live cd/desktop cd needs around 256 | 10:57 |
| silverblade | I've just done an update, and now when I boot up I get as far as the login prompt in X, but then after entering my password the screen goes grey with a mouse pointer. nothing else happens. I can move the mouse pointer around though and get into a text console via the ctrl+alt+f1 keys etc | 10:57 |
| === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber | ||
| legend2440 | arlbee: is it working? | 10:58 |
| gnomefreak | silverblade: you would need to look in the log file to find out what hallened also need to know what you installed/removed and what version of ubuntu and what type of upgrade you did | 10:58 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, the alt cd isn't handy, and we don't want to mess with a known working system. We just want to get "apt-get" and synaptic working with a repo. | 10:59 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: part of the update is for xserver...check /var/log/Xorg0.log | 10:59 |
| silverblade | gnomefreak: I got a message saying updates had been installed and a reboot was needed. | 10:59 |
| silverblade | It's a Hardy install. | 10:59 |
| Dor | umm | 10:59 |
| Dor | what's ubuntu? | 10:59 |
| Janos | hi there, have a 8.04 ltsp server, works great, now trying to move the dhcp to my debian gateway, copied over the same config from the ltsp and added the next-server option, but my clients won't boot anymore, clients are getting ip but when they try to connect to tftp they freak out. All i'm getting in the logs is this "in.tftpd[6822]: tftp: client does not accept options" any idea what could be wrong ? | 10:59 |
| gnomefreak | silverblade: what version of ubuntu does it show in your /etc/apt/sources.list file | 11:00 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, The 'Filesystem' item in Places menu has gone without any reason as i clicked on it(i was using it before successfully), but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and how to fix that? | 11:00 |
| silverblade | one sec | 11:00 |
| gnomefreak | !ubuntu > Dor (please see your pm) | 11:00 |
| MatthewV | !ubuntu | Dor | 11:00 |

| silverblade | Hmm it seems to load my desktop and the panels, then it goes grey | 11:00 |
| gratefulfrog | can anyone help me set-up the xorg.conf file? Mine was lost after hardy upgrade... | 11:00 |
| Dor | thanks gnomefreak :P | 11:00 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: try killall gnome-panel see if they come back | 11:00 |
| babolat | what do you guys use for creating video dvds? is there just one app that I could use from encoding to burning? | 11:00 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: u have nvidia or ati? | 11:01 |
| ronin1234 | hey i'm trying to install from the alternate install disk but it doesn't take me to the install menu i get a busy box caled initramfs... what gives?> | 11:01 |
| silverblade | ati. | 11:01 |
| silverblade | nothing relevant in the xorg.log - seems normal | 11:01 |
| silverblade | if i alt+tab theres 2 apps running, but neither have titles | 11:01 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, no it does not and restart does not too | 11:01 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: do you have ubuntu-desktop installed? | 11:02 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: restart X only w/ ctrl-alt-backspc | 11:02 |
| silverblade | tech0007: tried. | 11:02 |
| silverblade | takes me to login prompt. | 11:02 |
| silverblade | I can log in but then the same happens. | 11:02 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, yep, ubuntu installed | 11:02 |
| gnomefreak | tech0007: really should only use /etc/init.d/gdm restart ctrl+alt+backspace is barbaric way of doing it | 11:02 |
| silverblade | after the login prompts disappear, the screen goes black but pointer is still there, then it goes grey, i see my desktop for a split second then it goes. | 11:02 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: what were the updates? | 11:03 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: backup your xorg.conf, then temporarily change ur driver to vesa, see if that works | 11:03 |
| tech0007 | gnomefreak: thanks | 11:03 |
| silverblade | wouldnt think it would since i can get into X for the login... but will try | 11:03 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: /var/log/dist-upgrade wight have the info in the files in there | 11:03 |
| icqnumber | gratefulfrog, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:03 |
| ronin1234 | so anyone got an idea why the alternate cd would dump me to a shell rather than doing the install? | 11:04 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, have you abandoned me? | 11:04 |
| silverblade | tech0007: ok that worked, strangly | 11:04 |
| gnomefreak | silverblade: if you are seeing gdm most likely not an X issue but an install issue something like it cant load compiz so wont load anything or whatever it might be | 11:04 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: no | 11:04 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, it did happen on the clean 8.04 | 11:04 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: ok now try configuring X again | 11:04 |
| gratefulfrog | icqnumber: thanks, but I tried that, but it only created a shell of the xorg.conf, no details are in it like screen res, etc. | 11:04 |
| ashish | how to call another computer | 11:04 |
| silverblade | tech0007: as in, go back in and change driver back? | 11:05 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: nope..try the gui..wait.. | 11:05 |
| l2s | hello anyone install ubuntu on a powerpc, i got it installed but it gets to the boot prompt to press L for linux, and after I do that nothing happens other than a blank screen | 11:05 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, ok, my lawyer is dissapointed! :) | 11:05 |
| l2s | would really appreciate some help | 11:05 |
| icqnumber | gratefulfrog, it is a shell wizzard where you can set up your graphic card, and the keyboard | 11:05 |
| tech0007 | silverblade: its somewhere in system menu..cant remember atm | 11:06 |
| tech0007 | !patience | n2diy | 11:06 |
| ubottu | n2diy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:06 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: than look at how your ubuntu repos are formatted in /etc/apt/sources.list and format debian repo the same way. n2diy next time go to #ubuntu-offtopic or #debian about unsupported and dangerous answers | 11:06 |
| icqnumber | gratefulfrog, and it generates a xorg.conf file after all steps are done | 11:06 |
| gnomefreak | tech0007: i got him i thought i answered him but eerased it for someone elses answer | 11:06 |
| b33r | hello where does macromedia flash saves files? when I browse flash websites on firefox | 11:07 |

| l2s | did ubuntu cancel support for powerpc? | 11:14 |
| ubunubi | [Question] I'm assuming so...but I want to make sure :: Does Hardy have any issues mounting an Extended (versus primary) ext3 partition? | 11:14 |
| gnomefreak | l2s: sort of yes | 11:14 |
| gnomefreak | l2s: its supported but the ISOs have moved to "port" | 11:14 |
| l2s | do you know what i can type at the boot: to get it to boot | 11:14 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, understood. But this box is on death row now. I gave up supporting Debian for Ubuntu, and now that I need Ubuntu I'm told to go to Debian!? | 11:14 |
| ubunubi | Er, re-arrange, that.....Hardy doesn't have any issues mounting an "extended" (vs primary) partition as long as it has a valid FS? | 11:15 |
| marcules | Hi :) | 11:15 |
| l2s | is there some kind of flag i have to set to get it to boot | 11:15 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, do not you have this item? i have in places menu items like Desktop, Computer, list off all drives and and i have 'File System' too | 11:15 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: your using a debian repo that is for debian or #ubuntu-offtopic due to what can happen oh and brezzy isnt supported anylonger | 11:15 |
| b33r | tech0007, those are the files on windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/20106/ I'm sure they are saving on ubuntu too but I can't find them | 11:15 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, do not you have it? | 11:15 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: no and i bet not many others do either | 11:15 |
| nyuu | hi | 11:16 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: you might beablet o add it in gconf but i highly doubt it will work if tried | 11:16 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, do you have this items in nautilus? | 11:16 |
| nyuu | I have a problem with stardict dictionaries | 11:16 |
| nyuu | it says : HTML data parsing plug-in is not found! | 11:16 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: did you try computer? | 11:16 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, 'computer' is shown and it has 'File System' and all other drives | 11:17 |
| brappinseven | mmmk guess nobody can answer me :P | 11:17 |
| nyuu | ?? | 11:17 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: go to Places >Computer and chos file system from there and maybe save it to places IIRC this is possible since i had my ssh session there | 11:17 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: that is where File System is now not in top level Places menu | 11:18 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, why does my places menu look different in nautilus and in gnome-panel? | 11:18 |
| tech0007 | b33r: from which site are you playin these files | 11:18 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, all I'm asking is how to get apt-get to play with the Depian repo. If I could use it, I wouldn't be here. Thanks anyway. | 11:18 |
| b33r | tech0007, what difference does it make? :/ | 11:18 |
| tech0007 | b33r: youtube videos are cached in /tmp...that i know | 11:18 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: i dont know | 11:19 |
| HardDisk | n2diy, my advice is to install debian then even in a virtualbox | 11:19 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, where in gconf can i edit places menu! what is what i want to know | 11:19 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: the reason it is in file browser is because that is where it can be found at | 11:20 |
| HardDisk | n2diy, there is a reason we don't use the debian repositories, even though ubuntu is *based* on debian, there are many things that are different. | 11:20 |
| n2diy | HardDisk, why? I have a working Breezy box now! I jus want to get to some repos? | 11:20 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: off hand not sure you would have to look | 11:20 |
| tech0007 | b33r: check your firefox cache ~/.mozila/firefox/*.default/Cache | 11:20 |
| hydrbyz | hello is there a way to download dailymotion videos? | 11:20 |
| b33r | ok sec | 11:20 |
| HardDisk | n2diy, please don't continue this matter here, if you wish take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:20 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: drag and drop filesystem into the 2nd se4ction of nautilus maybe than it will show up | 11:20 |
| jrib | hydrbyz: keepvid.com | 11:20 |
| hydrbyz | jrid: thanks | 11:21 |
| l2s | could someone help me rescue my ubuntu install? | 11:21 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, as said in doc on the gnomes pages, places menu lists all hadr drives, so / called 'Filesystem must be there too | 11:21 |
| HardDisk | n2diy, experimenting is not a bad thing, but we help people who install ubuntu and wish proper ubuntu assistance, modding and other sorts that is a matter you should take into your own hands. | 11:21 |
| icqnumber | gnomefreak, it is shown in nautilus allready! | 11:21 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: where did you read that | 11:21 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: in the 2nd section | 11:21 |
| gnomefreak | icqnumber: under Videos | 11:21 |
| b33r | tech0007, nvm I can't find em I'll have to install xp -.- | 11:22 |

| n2diy | HardDisk, I am installing Ubuntu, and have been for over two years, now I dealing with ancient hardware, that I can't find support for. I guess I need to abandon Ubuntu for Debian? Fine business. | 11:23 |
| b33r | Dumbledore, no what does it do? | 11:23 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: this isnt #ubuntu-offtopic nor #debian | 11:24 |

| Dumbledore | It helps downloading video files. | 11:24 |
| gnomefreak | n2diy: brezzy is not supported any longer and hasnt bee for a long time | 11:24 |
| HardDisk | n2diy, did I say dump? you want to use debian repositories, you can install fluxbuntu or ubuntu with e17 for older hardware or even try Ubuntu lite edition, thank you. | 11:24 |
| n2diy | gnomefreak, ok, I'll try offtopic, thanks again. | 11:24 |

| MatthewV | ubunubi, basically to apply that patch you would first need the pysdm source code (available from their site)... then you would download, extract the source code, download the patch file, and then apply the patch file using "patch -p0 <uuid.patch" | 11:53 |

| MatthewV | ubunubi, using the method I have outlined, you would need to uninstall the repo version, patch the source as described above, and then compile your source code... not having the program installed, i couldn't really help you with manually patching the repo version, although looking at the patch file, it doesn't look too hard ;) :S | 11:56 |

| HardDisk | unimatrix9, even though pulse is fine on most systems, some people have had issues, it will be resolved in 8.04.1 update. | 12:06 |

| HardDisk | tech0007, I believe sometime in July. | 12:07 |
| stemount^ | Rocko, you just use alien to convert the RPM to .deb | 12:07 |
| tech0007 | !alien | Rocko | 12:07 |
| ubottu | Rocko: 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) | 12:07 |
| njero | ubunubi: that sum checked out... saved me three days, thanks! | 12:07 |
| njero | now to figure out what happened to my burn! | 12:07 |

| ubunubi | njero: great! good luck | 12:07 |
| Rocko | ok thanks. | 12:08 |
| Rocko | i want to install nmap | 12:08 |
| dynamethod | Rocko sudo apt-get install nmap | 12:08 |
| HardDisk | Rocko, mind you rpm's were packaged for a different distribution, so try to find a deb format first, because sometimes it may break something. | 12:08 |
| Rocko | ok | 12:08 |

| HardDisk | njero, you may want to start looking at www.launchpad.net | 12:09 |
| Rocko | repo / | 12:09 |
| HardDisk | njero, in order to add your application it has to be "approved" | 12:09 |
| njero | HardDisk: thanks will do | 12:09 |
| HardDisk | njero, so go to that site and learn about it. | 12:09 |
| jrib | !packaging > njero (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:09 |

| jrib | !ppa > njero (read the private message from ubottu) | 12:09 |
| ubunubi | matthewv: would a reboot be necessary for it to take effect after copying the patched file back to /usr/yaddayadda ? | 12:09 |
| HardDisk | njero, that's if you want it in the original repo's, but you can have your own repository via launchpad and ppa. | 12:10 |
| HardDisk | as jrib pointed out. | 12:10 |

| dynamethod | Rocko if theres any results from that command about a nmap-gtk, or nmap-frontend or something similar, install it | 12:16 |
| MatthewV | ubunubi, it depends how your partitions are mounted, but there is usually at least a / and a /swap | 12:17 |
| ubunubi | matthewv: i have them mounted however they auto-mount when i plug in a new HD that has FS+files..it just pops up on my desktop | 12:17 |
| HardDisk | dynamethod, not in repo | 12:18 |
| zvacet | zyx386 : you have bluefish in universe repo | 12:18 |
| MatthewV | ubunubi, automounted stuff isn't usually in /etc/fstab | 12:18 |
| ubunubi | matthewv: cat /etc/fstab just shows my / partition ...my swap is on 2nd HD not listed in that output | 12:18 |
| dynamethod | ah ok, oh well, just stick to the Network Tools like HarDisk said Rocko | 12:18 |
| MatthewV | ubunubi, :S just see if things still work :) the program should at least have made a backup, but i've never used it so can't really help you... :( | 12:19 |

| g0th | I didn't change anything in the keyboards settings and it worked before | 12:25 |
| whs | I cannot connect my USB flash drive or external USB disk drive | 12:25 |
| zyx386 | zvacet, but this http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bluefish&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all is a alt version 1.0.7 | 12:26 |
| zyx386 | i compile now the new version.1.1.6 | 12:26 |
| zvacet | zyx386 : but that is not a stable one isn´t it | 12:27 |
| zyx386 | zvacet, i know but i well test it | 12:27 |
| ma3x | what package should i install to get the hotkeys working on my laptop? | 12:27 |
| g0th | anyone= | 12:28 |
| zvacet | zyx386 :ok then | 12:28 |
| w3D | try add/remove search zyx | 12:28 |
| w3D | then search hotkeys or something. | 12:28 |
| ma3x | when i install ubuntu, the hotkeys are working automatically | 12:29 |
| ma3x | i want to know which package does make them work | 12:29 |
| raymond | enikke | 12:31 |
| g0th | Somehow the "Home" and "End" keys (which are on "7" and "1" num) on my laptop keyboard don't work anymore. Ie. When I press "home" in the shell it doesn't jump to the beginning, it just does nothing, actually that goes for all keys on the numeric keypad | 12:31 |
| ubunubi | matthewv: worked great, thanks so much. saved me tons of headache. just stopped in so you didn't think i was LiveCD bound ;) gnite | 12:31 |
| zvacet | ma3x :_ I think it is hotkeys and hotkey-setup look in synaptic | 12:32 |
| g0th | ohh never mind | 12:32 |
| g0th | I found out why | 12:32 |
| g0th | the numeric keypad is somehow used as a "mouse replacement" | 12:32 |
| w3D | ubunubi: ive been reading your conversation on and off, what have you been trying to achieve? it sounds interesting. | 12:32 |
| DjViper | okay, who knows how to fix samba sharing in 8.04 so it works with windows puters correctly? | 12:32 |
| simplexio | DjViper: no knowledge, but i recall that you have to change some registery key in windows for it | 12:33 |
| DjViper | hmm oh really? | 12:34 |
| ubunubi | w3d: matthewv walked me through manually patching a buggy program from the hardy repo with a path file that wasn't official yet, to get my GUI based fstab editor working correctly :) | 12:34 |
| ubunubi | path-patch* | 12:34 |
| DjViper | simplexio: but how come it worked "out of the box" in 7.10 then? | 12:34 |
| w3D | awesome, sounds like a good project | 12:34 |
| ubunubi | w3d: was interesting ;) i've learned so much in my 2 days using linux my head might just explode :) good think a 2 week vacation starts in 2 days | 12:35 |
| simplexio | DjViper: hmm.. then there is probably some options to turn to get it work, that registery fix thing is few years old info | 12:35 |
| simplexio | DjViper: does it give any error or ...? | 12:35 |
| w3D | lucky you, i have to prepare for university now | 12:36 |
| ubunubi | w3d:: i'll keep that in mind while i'm skydiving in new zealand | 12:36 |
| DjViper | simplexio: in ubuntu, I simply can't list the contents of windows shares | 12:36 |
| w3D | well, its a year away but still im looking forward to it, so ive just starting using linux based systems. | 12:36 |
| w3D | haha, nice. | 12:36 |
| simplexio | DjViper: but no problems to log in ? | 12:37 |
| simplexio | DjViper: you 100% that logged in samba user has rights to read directory | 12:37 |
| DjViper | simplexio: doesn't even ask for a login... that's probably one of the problems | 12:37 |
| DjViper | I'm not logged in, but the user should have access, it works from other win 'puter | 12:38 |
| DjViper | +s | 12:38 |
| ubunubi | is there a way to "sudo" empty trash? it says it has 5 files in it...i have hidden files turned on..and i see nothing | 12:39 |
| ubunubi | but the icon is stuck to full-trash | 12:39 |
| thoreauputic_ | ubunubi: look for .local/*/Trash | 12:39 |
| w3D | i havent even found the trash yet. | 12:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntulog: i always gksudo nautilus then navigate to home/user/.Trash and delete it that way | 12:39 |
| simplexio | DjViper: ahh. | 12:39 |
| thoreauputic_ | ubunubi: it moved to ~/.local in hardy I think | 12:39 |
| simplexio | DjViper: force it to use your ubuntu username | 12:39 |
| DjViper | simplexio: how? | 12:40 |
| thoreauputic_ | IndyGunFreak: see above please :) | 12:40 |
| simplexio | DjViper: in windows, map networks drive and there is option to select username and password | 12:40 |
| zvacet | ubunubi : cd /home/username/.local/share/Trash and then sudo rm -r * | 12:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | thoreauputic_: sure did.. didn't realize that(haven't had to do it in a while).. thanks | 12:40 |
| DjViper | simplexio: how do you do it on a shared folder? | 12:41 |
| ubunubi | thanks | 12:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | in .local/share I think | 12:41 |
| zvacet | ubunubi : wait | 12:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | thoreauputic_: yeah, /local/share/Trash | 12:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | right | 12:41 |
| simplexio | DjViper: umm... cant remember, havent used windows for year. | 12:41 |
| zvacet | cd /home/username/.local/share/Trash/files | 12:42 |
| w3D | trash:/// | 12:42 |
| ubunubi | zvacet:: it's okay. once i navigated there it was actually empty. the icon was just stuck .i just removed that gnome widget off my panel and reput it on and it fixed itself | 12:42 |
| simplexio | DjViper: but from filebrowser tools -> map networkd drive -> there should be a button to select login name | 12:42 |
| zvacet | ubunubi : ok | 12:42 |
| ubunubi | zvacet: but thanks for letting me know where that is...i'm sure i'll need it later. i'm keeping notes on these things :P i hate searching | 12:43 |
| w3D | whats the best media player for ubuntu? | 12:43 |
| ubunubi | w3d: can't take polls in this channel ;) | 12:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | !best | w3D | 12:44 |
| ubottu | w3D: 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. | 12:44 |
| thoreauputic_ | w3D: heh - how long is apiece of string? | 12:44 |
| ubunubi | w3d: i'd _recommend_ you try 'vlc' | 12:44 |
| ubunubi | w3d: and if vlc doesn't meet all your needs...then continue looking :) | 12:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | w3D: but i would also recommend VLC | 12:44 |
| w3D | i use vlc | 12:44 |
| zvacet | ubunubi : smart people keep notes others have to search | 12:44 |
| w3D | in windows. | 12:44 |
| bullgard4 | Why does GNOME maintain two directories for desktop entry files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/? | 12:44 |
| simplexio | w3D: thre is no best, there is choice between mplayer, vlc and ... | 12:44 |
| w3D | but for music, i like to optimise. | 12:44 |
| HardDisk | w3D, click on add/remove search for media players there, there are many choices. | 12:44 |
| w3D | jah, i miss winamp | 12:45 |
| w3D | havent used that in ages. | 12:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | w3D: depends on what you want your music player to do... i like small/simple so i use audacious | 12:45 |
| HardDisk | w3D, you have many good mp3 players, amarok, exaile, banshee, rythmbox, audacious so many more | 12:45 |
| ubunubi | zvacet: mine are in a backed up flat-text file...but it works for now :) i like Ctrl+F searching better than google hunting forums anyday of the week! | 12:45 |
| thoreauputic_ | w3D: try audacious, if you like winamp | 12:45 |
| zvacet | w3D : xmms then | 12:45 |
| w3D | kk | 12:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | w3D: if you like a full featured mp3 manager, exaile, amarok, rythmbox. | 12:45 |
| HardDisk | w3D, audacious is similar to winamp if you want, the rest are managers too | 12:45 |
| i00nsu | w3D: u have xmms sane design of winamp | 12:45 |
| simplexio | w3D: rhytmbox is little bloatware | 12:45 |
| HardDisk | zvacet, no xmms is discontinued | 12:45 |
| tenX | my fav OS is winamp | 12:45 |
| HardDisk | people xmms is discontinued in hardy | 12:45 |
| ubunubi | tenx: does it run Doom? | 12:46 |
| zvacet | HardDisk : didn´t know that thx | 12:46 |
| === doel is now known as cew_17 | ||
| IndyGunFreak | i used to really like xmms, but audacious is more or less the same, w/ a few more features. | 12:46 |
| HardDisk | IndyGunFreak, sup :) | 12:46 |
| w3D | im so glad i dont have to make all the installs for these programs. | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres still the ghost of xmms in a few other packages/apps :) that need to be worked on. Heh. | 12:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | actually, i think Xmms, lost official support around feisty... its just kinda hung i the repos forever. | 12:46 |
| HardDisk | w3D, why all you do is click and apply. | 12:46 |
| ubunubi | w3d: yes, aptitude/synaptic/apt-get is a god-send | 12:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: not much, seeing who can stress me out here today, lol | 12:46 |
| tenX | ubunubi: winamp runs everything. on lowest prorietery there is. ! Besides taking every other ressources | 12:47 |
| HardDisk | ubunubi, and add/remove :) | 12:47 |
| johnnypea | !patch | 12:47 |
| ubottu | Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 12:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | i hate add/remove.. it seems kind of redundant, with Synaptic being so easy to use.. | 12:47 |
| thoreauputic_ | IndyGunFreak: xmms has a long and distinguished record :) But it was gtk 1.2 and most of that has been turfed out now | 12:47 |
| ubunubi | tenx: wow, that sounds like what i need to really unleash my overclocked quad-core..thanks for the tip | 12:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | thoreauputic_: yeah, i knew it had been around a while, I used it back when i first tried linux(probably 6yrs ago), until probably Feisty.. then went w/audacious. | 12:48 |
| w3D | cod4 should be linux based also. | 12:48 |
| * thoreauputic_ recompiled some gtk 1.2 stuff that he still likes | 12:48 | |
| DjViper | where is smb.conf located? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | DjViper, in /etc | 12:49 |
| ubunubi | djviper: i have no idea..but sudo updatedb then "locate smb.conf" maybe? | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Locate command is a 'must learn' command. :) | 12:49 |
| ubunubi | How often does updatedb run on it's own? i've always wondered | 12:49 |
| kdc1956 | anyone know how to turn o ati 3d card | 12:49 |
| tenX | ubunubi: exactly. you really got it. your quad core system will serve perfectly for a ressource sucking application | 12:49 |

| erle- | may be the mirror syncs bad? | 13:11 |
| thoreauputic_ | erle-: usually when that happens it is just a matter of waiting a while and trying again | 13:11 |
| erle- | i will try another | 13:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | erle-: more than likely... gotta remember how many ubuntu users there are, updates sometimes go down for a bit. | 13:11 |
| sickmoocow | yo guys | 13:11 |
| sickmoocow | supp | 13:11 |
| erle- | thoreauputic_, i know, but that is no solution of the issue | 13:11 |
| erle- | it should be in sync all the time | 13:11 |

| QUILz | Carpe|Diem: Well you can delete .q3a, although it shouldn't take up too much space | 13:32 |

| LordOllie | cdavis_, theoretically the first is impossible it would be possible if there was a sync cycle say every 5 minutes, but simultaneously would be a deadlock nightmare.

| cdavis_ | LordOllie, OK, I see how I could use rsync in the first scenerio just not simultaneous data. For the second would you just use an external scsi storage array? can you plug two computers into those? And would you have file sharing problems? | 13:44 |

| Dante123 | MatthewV what is padsp? something like aoss | 14:33 |
| MatthewV | Dante123, padsp does basically the same thing as aoss, except that its for pulseaudio instead of alsa... | 14:33 |
| empty_ | gorg: should be as simple as: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop | 14:33 |
| Dante123 | okay. I will try that. | 14:33 |

| tdawgedogg | once im in /etc is it just sudo nano fstab.conf ??? | 14:43 |
| bartmon | Laurenceb: try onstalling the package sun-java6-jre, either through the Synaptic graphical interface or with the command apt-get install | 14:43 |
| MatthewV | D3RGPS31, nope, as long as you've got it playing all sorts of stuff (ubuntu-restricted-extras) i think you should be fine | 14:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | krasher double click your volume control | 14:44 |

| bakarat | i have problems when i hook up my laptop to a projector (just won't work and usually messes up my main screen as well), however i have to give a presentation soon. the main problem is, i can't "test" it because i don't have a projector myself, is a second screen identical in behavior to a projector? (i would assume so, but i need to know for sure) | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg what are you trying to do with fstab | 14:45 |
| speedhunt3r | hey i rebooted the pc and compiz stopped working... what gives? | 14:46 |

| tdawgedogg | i just made a raid array....formatted it in ext3...and i mounted it and it was like read only or something becuase i couldnt copy and paste files onto it | 14:46 |
| tdawgedogg | so bash said to add it to fstab | 14:46 |
| MatthewV | D3RGPS31, ok, looking closer, it'll play flash movies... but not actual flash .swf's... sorry | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tdawgedogg, you mean to say your USER couldent write to it? or could root access it? It will need to be mounted from the fstab file to be accessable at all. | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tdawgedogg have you pastebinned your fstab, and does the drive work when mounted manually | 14:47 |
| carlozousa | ive done that a while ago and still get the same error while doing the dvd reading activation | 14:47 |

You neither get the server (wesnothd), a fact that maybe is not very harmful. But you neither get any sound of the game, a fact which is rediculous. You have to explicitly install the package "wesnoth-sound" to have sound in the game. All these issues are for the package "wesnoth-all", as I s | 15:46 |

| Beforez | hi all | 15:51 |
| Baltazaar | Anyone used the Jack kernel config to get realtime kernel messaging in sound recording apps? like no latancy in MIDI recording? | 15:52 |
| tuxboy666 | ok do we have a genius in here? I need one lol, to kill me last problem with Hardy | 15:52 |
| LogiTech | bazhang_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/20149/ | 15:52 |
| jrib | Jess1221: it's best to wait until it hits the repositories and let update-manager take care of it | 15:52 |
| bazhang_ | LogiTech, reading now | 15:52 |
| LogiTech | bazhang_ i think i have to buy new "soundcard" to play z5500 speakers right? | 15:53 |
| bazhang_ | LogiTech, that seems unlikely; what errors have you gotten? | 15:53 |
| gorg_ | back to pure pure gnome, and ubuntu | 15:53 |
| tuxboy666 | I have an ATI Radeon X1950 PRO. Only fglrx 8.35.x-8.39.x have ever worked with this card on any tested machibne. Is there any easy way I can get one of those versions to install? Current versions give me a black screen. | 15:53 |
| LogiTech | bazhang_ errors? no errors... | 15:53 |
| bazhang_ | !puregnome | gorg_ | 15:53 |
| ubottu | gorg_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 15:54 |
| bakarat | anyone know of a good how-to for dual screens with ATI binary driver (NOT xinerama etc, i want 2 separate screens) | 15:54 |
| bazhang_ | LogiTech, then they should work fine; you might try switching to alsa from autodetect in the sound prefs | 15:54 |
| bazhang_ | bakarat, xinerama is nvidia | 15:54 |
| tj1515 | ifireball: i thought it was my fault i idea on how i should go about fixing it | 15:54 |
| LogiTech | bazhang_ no no...i havent tryed z5500 with this pc...i just wanted to know do i have to buy new soundcard to play "Z5500 speakers" | 15:55 |
| tuxboy666 | yeppers, consider yourself lucky. The open source dribver is ok and NVidia's binary is good | 15:55 |
| bakarat | bazhang_: uh, no it isn't? :| | 15:55 |
| bazhang_ | LogiTech, seems unlikely though perhaps a quick ubuntu hardy z5500 ac97 would be good search terms | 15:55 |
| bakarat | bazhang_: from what i can find on the net, it seems to be ATI as well, and it enabled xinerama by default | 15:55 |

| LogiTech | bazhang_ but would z2300 speakers fit with this soundcard ? it seems z5500 speakers are too good for this soundcard...but what about z2300? | 15:57 |
| darthanubis | gorg_, goto #ubuntu-bots to vote for your favorite;) | 15:57 |
| gorg_ | i liked amorak, but that s a KDE so i would prefer to find something else | 15:57 |

| rockhound | hi everyone. I have a wifi usb stick attached which is auto enabled on boot.

| empty_ | bumbl3b33 according to that, ipw3945 driver is all you need | 16:41 |

| pablo | empty_: kool i will take a look | 17:04 |
| jrib | elec: well that gives you KernelFreeze anyway. The Kernel team has some wiki pages too | 17:04 |
| tuxboy666 | how does it work? better than windoze but for devices, but really, it's just a kernel that runs things | 17:04 |
| bazhang_ | pablo, there will be some kdelibs yes | 17:04 |
| socomm | Uplink, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computer_science) | 17:04 |

| elec | jrib: ok, thanks anyway.. im just trying to figure out if its worthwhile for me to hold out until a new release, or just upgrade it myself, however it seems like its frowned upon to upgrade your kernel yourself as it may have adverse effects on some of the packages or whatever... | 17:07 |
| tuxboy666 | will give it a shot but I actually tried the new drivers with same method on diff card and it worked | 17:07 |

| spideyman | or testing purposes | 17:51 |
| Uplink | :O | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Uplink: its just due to the user model of linux, if you got a virus, the virus would only inherit the access rights of the logged in user. This restricts access greatly unless you are one of these retards who logs in as root | 17:51 |
| Uplink | lol ActionParsnip | 17:51 |
| tuxboy666 | also you don't have a huge spyware known as the registry. All is done through individual config files in nix | 17:51 |
| tuxboy666 | makes it harder for virus writers | 17:51 |
| rootyrooty | tech0007: i did that instantly after I pasted the error message /embarrassed | 17:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Bl4ckcomb: only if the running app is ran as root, bufferoverflow a service running as root and you have root access. These are to be avoided by simply logging in s a user | 17:53 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu maintain two directories for desktop entry files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/? | 17:53 |

| Uplink | ActionParsnip, but what if u dont have access to it? ive seen some privilege escalation virus | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Uplink: so all apps you run are run with admin rights, if a script or program is maliciously ran, i will be ran "by the user" and therefore have full access | 17:54 |
| Bl4ckcomb | ActionParsnip, aren't there always a few processes that run as root, even if you log in as a simple user? | 17:54 |

| Bl4ckcomb | root partition is not same as root user ownage | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Uplink: well if you try and edit files as you, you are not allowed to save back, as root you can | 17:57 |

| crimsun | ccpb: install build-essential | 18:12 |
| tuxboy666 | it would be so so if not for that | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Zababa: could try uninstalling player and codec then putting them back in. im stumped otherwise bro | 18:12 |
| tuxboy666 | it has pretty fonts | 18:12 |
| erUSUL | ccpb: install build essential | 18:13 |
| CarlFK | Verison broadband nic, works in mac, now plugged in my ubuntu laptop. dmesg shows "USB Driver for GSM modems" http://dpaste.com/56616/ how do I get an IP? | 18:13 |

| tuxboy666 | if your modem doesn't have NAT, you may neeed PPPoE software | 18:14 |
| Zababa | ActionParsnip, ok... will try reinstall VLC. | 18:14 |
| tuxboy666 | wow you're awesome | 18:14 |

| tuxboy666 | hmm probably need the kernel driver | 18:15 |
| tuxboy666 | you can't do ethernet | 18:15 |
| ccpb | ok | 18:15 |
| tuxboy666 | the driver unfortunately is a module you compile in the kernel and is not so commonly needed. I'd try buying a router first | 18:16 |
| tuxboy666 | save you many headaches, CarlFK | 18:16 |
| CarlFK | tuxboy666: oh, one of those little ap/gsm gizmos? | 18:17 |
| tuxboy666 | well, it seems you'd be looking for a dsl router specifically, if you have no private lan IP now | 18:17 |
| BCM43 | this channel is slow today | 18:17 |
| tuxboy666 | because PPPoE or less commonly usb is the protocol | 18:18 |

| Planet_x | having a problem with 8.04 64 bit with my computer.. previously had Vista 64 bit installed.. Ubuntu seems to have installed properly but now everytime I boot the computer into the OS it freezes during the splashscreen.. and for some reason there is 2 Ubuntus listed in the OS boot options.. is there anyway to fix the 64 bit to stop freezing? | 18:18 |
| Timi | BCM43: no annoying complications such as emulating xp? Also, is there any necessary extra software, or can I drag and drop? | 18:19 |

| tuxboy666 | thanks BCM43 but that didn't load the kernel module. When I did get it to load by doing some things after, same result-black screen. I wonder if the new driver and my card is the issue or whether it's the driver and my mobo. fglrx used to have issues with my mobo, but I used to overcome them | 18:24 |
| Blue_Wolf | how can i restore to english ? | 18:24 |

| Zababa | Hi, I was here few minutes ago talking with ActionParsnip, he suggested for my Sound playback problem reinstalling players and codecs. Where can I find in Synaptic packet manager the proprietary MP3 codec I installed from Totem player before? | 18:28 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu maintain two directories for desktop entry files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/? | 18:28 |
| genii | ryanakca: No, the "x" part of the name there means for X server | 18:28 |
| genii | ryanakca: Use instead console-setup/console-tools | 18:28 |
| sharpe_uk | Zababa, the mp3 codec lives in libxine1-ffmpeg normally | 18:29 |
| offby1 | I rebooted recently and now when I log in, the "tray" doesn't appear. (I mean the horizontal strip along the top of my screen, that contains menus) | 18:29 |
| tech0007 | Zababa: for multimedia codecs run this in terminal: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 | 18:29 |
| tuxboy666 | ok guys now I see your position. Sorry for my impatience. I noticed when I was helping, I hardly noticed anyone but the person I was helping | 18:29 |
| sharpe_uk | at least thats the way I always get it (may be others) | 18:29 |
| offby1 | what can I do to fix that? | 18:29 |

| iandouglas | hey all, question about upgrading -- I upgraded successfully last night from 7.04 to 7.10, then tried the 7.10 -> 804 upgrade using the "Update Manager" but it failed just before the "clean up" stage -- how do I manually run the upgrade program again, or get a list of what needs to be cleaned up? | 18:30 |
| offby1 | bazhang_: how'd you know so fast that that was Turkish?_ | 18:30 |
| tech0007 | benzss: mount it then rename | 18:30 |
| Blue_Wolf | i need a vit of help , i cant log to ubuntu becoz i made they keyboard only hebrew , and my user name is english | 18:30 |
| offby1 | iandouglas: I think I gave up and reformatted and installed from scratch :-| | 18:31 |
| JannoTT | Simple question: i made folder under root. But how to can i change its owner? | 18:31 |
| genii | offby1: " türkçe " | 18:31 |
| ryanakca | genii: yes, but I have a specific/customized keyboard layout for X. I sadly don't have an equivalent / haven't created one for the terminal. Would you know of a way to convert it? | 18:31 |
| benzss | tech0007: 'The item could not be renamed' (mounted or unmounted) | 18:31 |
| offby1 | genii: ? I didn't understand that; it looked like garbage | 18:31 |
| genii | ryanakca: No, not offhand | 18:31 |
| puccio | hello,I'm using Hardy and I have problem with the dreaded iw3945 driver | 18:31 |
| offby1 | ah, he said "Turkish" in Turkish :) | 18:31 |
| ryanakca | genii: thanks anyways :) | 18:32 |
| genii | offby1: Ah. Here it appears as something like "turkce" | 18:32 |
| bazhang_ | puccio, what is the issue | 18:32 |
| iandouglas | offby1: yeah, I suppose that's one answer to it, but I don't really feel like reinstalling the entire OS and then having to remember which utilities I use etc | 18:32 |
| tech0007 | benzss: how are you renaming it? gui? try it in terminal with 'mv' | 18:32 |
| Blue_Wolf | well anyone ? | 18:32 |
| offby1 | genii: it does here, too, now that I've "rebooted" konsole's encoding :-| | 18:32 |
| genii | ryanakca: np | 18:32 |
| puccio | bazhang_, I was using the ipw3945 of the 2.6.22 kernel up to now, but it seems that recently network-manager don't not make me connect anymore. | 18:32 |
| offby1 | (konsole forgets its encoding periodically) | 18:32 |
| offby1 | iandouglas: I know. It's a pain :-| | 18:32 |
| puccio | bazhang_, because indeed with the 2.6.24 series my wifi interface was not working at all in network manager | 18:32 |
| techgeek40 | I have sound :> | 18:32 |
| Zababa | tech007: Well, that installed some other proprietary codecs... my problem actually is no playback at all. I can't even play ogg. | 18:33 |
| techgeek40 | Now the only thing I need to do is mount my windows D: drive (where I have some photos and documents) | 18:33 |
| puccio | bazhang_, so my basic question is which configuration do I have to use to re-make it work, it would not be an issue to use an older kernel just that network manager does not work anymore.... | 18:33 |
| bazhang_ | puccio, what about from the terminal what does ifconfig show two entries or three | 18:33 |
| techgeek40 | Is it possible to remap my "photos" and "documents" to my D: driver? | 18:33 |

| Zababa | tech0007: but it does not play in Totem player or xmms2 either | 18:34 |
| puccio | bazhang_, the network-manager lists it too, but it does not list any essid in it | 18:34 |
| tech0007 | Zababa: run the program in terminal and check for errors in the output. | 18:35 |
| techgeek40 | Is it possible to remap my "photos" and "documents" to my D: driver? | 18:35 |

| techgeek40 | Well, let me ask this: how do I mount my d: drive? | 18:35 |
| puccio | bazhang_, if I do iwlist eth1 scan on the terminal, it lists me the networks it find.. | 18:35 |
| offby1 | Blue_Wolf: you said that already | 18:36 |
| techgeek40 | Tech0007: Thank you for that help - audio now works | 18:36 |
| Blue_Wolf | some how nobody answered :( | 18:36 |
| tech0007 | techgeek40: what fs is your D: drive? | 18:36 |
| offby1 | Blue_Wolf: probably nobody knows the answer. | 18:36 |
| offby1 | _I_ certainly don't. | 18:36 |
| puccio | bazhang_, thanks. so back to 90's with no graphical network manager, that's it? :-) | 18:36 |
| Blue_Wolf | ok thankyou anyway | 18:36 |
| techgeek40 | tech0007: ntfs (I don't use fat32) | 18:36 |
| nibsa1242b | How can I change how many old kernels are in my /boot ? There are 4 old ones in addition to the current kernel there right now, and there is only ~4MB of free space left. | 18:36 |
| bazhang_ | puccio, well if its not working with network manager; just a suggestion :) | 18:37 |
| tech0007 | techgeek40: hardy's in virtualbox right? | 18:37 |
| amenado | nibsa1242b-> yes, your disk space is the limiting factor | 18:37 |
| jatt | !wireless | 18:37 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 18:37 |
| offby1 | nibsa1242b: I _think_ you can just remove the relevant packages using Synaptic or whatever package manager you like | 18:37 |
| techgeek40 | tech007: yes it is - | 18:37 |
| puccio | bazhang_, ok... :-) | 18:37 |
| techgeek40 | I even went to the settings and added that drive letter as share | 18:37 |
| nibsa1242b | amenado: so on the next kernel upgrade it'll remove the one of the old ones from /boot automatically? | 18:38 |
| _user_ | hi | 18:38 |
| puccio | bazhang_, so can we say that if my iwlist eth1 scan shows networks around me, I can be confident to manually configure it properly or are there technical issues which could prevent it? | 18:38 |
| amenado | nibsa1242b-> update does not remove old kernels | 18:38 |
| tuxboy666 | very interesting about my fglrx issue with my X1950 PRO. This guy had same issue and he said "I eventually found out that the AGP aperture size in the BIOS setup was set wrong. I tried the highest value (256 MB) and the lowest (32 MB). They both did not work. The value that did work was 128 MB." | 18:38 |
| puccio | bazhang_, like wap/wep whatever support | 18:38 |
| _user_ | anyone here know how to get and install cedega? i've tried running warcraft3 with wine but i can't see anything ingame | 18:38 |
| tuxboy666 | Worth a shot? | 18:38 |
| amenado | nibsa1242b-> upgrade* does not remove old kernels | 18:38 |
| kandinski | hi, I have recently upgraded rom 7.10 to 8.04 and now there is no sound on VLC and Movie Player (I do have it on mozilla and games) any idea on how to diagnose it? | 18:39 |
| nibsa1242b | amenado: then my /boot is going to fill up. Why doesn't it remove old kernels? | 18:39 |
| techgeek40 | techgeek0007: MY understanding of Virtual box is that it should behave just like if it were running on its own partition | 18:39 |
| bazhang_ | puccio, well the network manager *should* work; but if it does not that is a nice workaround | 18:39 |
| amenado | nibsa1242b-> it was not designed to do such | 18:39 |
| jatt | In hoary see the following dmesg message: | 18:39 |

| tech0007 | techgeek40: you need to setup shared folders. | 18:40 |
| nibsa1242b | amenado: I know there is a file somewhere that says "keep this many old kernels" I've edited it in the past on my desktop | 18:40 |
| techgeek40 | tech0007: I did that under settings - | 18:40 |

| theRealBall | run opera in that case | 18:42 |
| guhnouille | techgeek40: it should start automatically installing desktop additions, you need it for shared folders IIRC | 18:42 |
| nibsa1242b | amenado: I'll go try to find out. It makes no sense to me that the old kernels aren't removed. There is no reason for me to have 5 kernels in my /boot | 18:43 |

| Mr_Bad_News | thanks jtm thats what im looking for | 19:07 |
| jtm | Mr_Bad_News: It's called I think like innershell and outershell. So you can give a password, and what's even best is that they cannot prove (there is no way to detect) if you are using the two password system. | 19:07 |
| bhc | i have done with apt-get install build-essential | 19:07 |
| bhc | do i need to reboot ? | 19:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | bhc: what are you compiling? | 19:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | bhc: you shouldn't need to. | 19:07 |
| jtm | So whatever you are trying to hide goes under one password and whatever you aren't trying to hide goes under another password. | 19:07 |
| jtm | but they cannot detect if you are using that two password system. | 19:08 |
| jtm | I recommend 50+ alphanumeric with symbols. | 19:08 |

| bazhang_ | Sun13, hdd or usb key | 19:13 |
| poisonkiller | ok here it goes, why is my sound crackling? | 19:13 |
| tuxboy666 | bad cables? | 19:13 |
| Spitfire | QUIT | 19:13 |
| Spitfire | \QUIT | 19:13 |
| jtm | bazhang_: May I repeat my question in here now that more people are around? | 19:13 |
| Sun13 | bazhang_: its a usb enclousre ide drive | 19:13 |
| tuxboy666 | I have an actual usb drive. Worked out of the box | 19:14 |
| tuxboy666 | is your module in the kernel | 19:14 |
| bazhang_ | Sun13, you want to mount the iso on an external hdd and run from that? | 19:14 |
| Spitfire | LIST | 19:14 |
| tuxboy666 | ahh edit fstab | 19:14 |
| tuxboy666 | just Google fstab. Plenty of info | 19:15 |
| PupUser | hi | 19:15 |
| tuxboy666 | that's what you need :) | 19:15 |
| Sun13 | bazhang_: yes i want to install on my internal hd from the external usb drive | 19:15 |
| thompa | hello, just ran updates, was some stuff for openoffice.org, now the writer compnent is missing | 19:15 |
| bazhang_ | Sun13, get a usb key that is easiest | 19:15 |
| poisonkiller | what to do if my sound is distorted and crackling? | 19:15 |
| bazhang_ | Sun13, or just mount the iso on the internal and run from there | 19:15 |
| Spitfire | Hola | 19:16 |
| poisonkiller | hi | 19:16 |
| jtm | I have been experiencing a strange problem. I am running Ubuntu 8.01 and I lose sound frequently forcing me to restart in order to get it back. VLC reports oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp), sound doesn't play on YouTube videos using Firefox 3.0 RC2, and lsof | grep dsp returns nothing. I usually have audio, I think I am losing the audio from firefox playing a video or pidgin, but the issue is that I cannot restore my | 19:16 |
| tuxboy666 | does the issue occur on a program that lets you use OSS or ALSA? | 19:16 |
| Sun13 | bazhang_: i have a sd card 1gig and i used unetbootin to installed on it and it installed fine but the bios is not detecting the sd card flash | 19:16 |
| tuxboy666 | could be a bug in your drivers/chipset and usually using ALSA can help | 19:16 |
| sudobash | ALSA rocks! | 19:17 |
| poisonkiller | what should i do if my sound is crackling, and switching to ALSA or OSS doesnt work? | 19:17 |
| Sun13 | bazhang_how would i mount it from internal....i have two internal sata drive: the one im on now has the iso image so can i do it from here | 19:17 |
| dbugger | Hello! | 19:17 |
| PossibleBit | poisonkiller: try setting your pcm lower | 19:18 |
| sudobash | use digital if you are currently using analog | 19:18 |
| dimi3 | I tried the 8.04 but I got failed to install grub? Is there any what to correct it or I have to reinstall and hope everything works...? | 19:18 |
| sudobash | optical cable | 19:18 |
| sudobash | might have to get a new sound card though | 19:18 |
| PossibleBit | had the same problem and turning down the PCM worked wonders | 19:18 |
| tuxboy666 | the standard check cables and reinstall programs and drivers, I suppose. Even try bgooting Windoze and see if it happens | 19:18 |
| tuxboy666 | if it happens then, then it's probably hardware | 19:18 |
| poisonkiller | PossibleBit: wait, ill try in a sec :P | 19:18 |
| sudobash | yeah it seems like i have seen that somewhere about PCM | 19:18 |
| techgeek40 | Okay - I have done all the VirtualBox stuff - but still my D: drive and USB External hard drive are not showing up | 19:19 |
| bazhang_ | !grub | dimi3 | 19:19 |
| ubottu | dimi3: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 19:19 |
| dbugger | I have a little problem. I'd be thankful if anyone could help me: I've upgraded to hardy and if I activate the ATI Hardware acceleration, the X show just a black screen. Can anyone give me a solution? Thank you! | 19:19 |
| poisonkiller | oh yay, lowering PCM did the trick! :D | 19:19 |
| sudobash | but i have seen windows optical work fine and ubuntu optical have some crackling in it so maybe it is the PCM? | 19:19 |
| PossibleBit | cool | 19:19 |
| tuxboy666 | never had an issue with the PCM level. Would that just be a little bug with some drivers/cards? | 19:19 |
| dimi3 | bazhang_: I didn't quite have windows before that.. it was debian.. and funny I could access all my previous things ;) | 19:20 |
| sudobash | maybe... | 19:20 |
| poisonkiller | PossibleBit: thanks | 19:20 |
| sudobash | or maybe it is the driver that the application is using... | 19:20 |
| PossibleBit | no problem | 19:20 |
| trevor_ | Does anyone know about MySQL not working from inside a UserDIr? | 19:20 |
| sudobash | like you can tell XMMS and VLC what driver to use | 19:20 |
| tuxboy666 | I make Amarok use ALSA | 19:20 |
| tuxboy666 | a few apps work better on OSS | 19:20 |
| sudobash | yeah make everything use ALSA | 19:21 |
| sudobash | really? | 19:21 |
| sudobash | like which ones? | 19:21 |
| tuxboy666 | Cedega hates ALSA but I dumped it long ago | 19:21 |
| tuxboy666 | :P | 19:21 |
| sudobash | Cedega is dead my friend | 19:21 |
| jtm | OSS I am not completely sure. But I did absolutely nothing and my sound is working again. I didn't close anything, I did NOTHING. | 19:22 |
| tuxboy666 | Cedega almost never works with ATI. However, wine can work pretty good | 19:22 |
| Toba | a few days ago I noticed that wireless networking no longer shows up as an option on the network icon in the task tray | 19:22 |
| sudobash | i watched Cedega take like 3 or 4 hours to install when i was a kid | 19:22 |
| Toba | even though all my other wireless devices work fine | 19:22 |
| PupUser | hi | 19:22 |
| PossibleBit | weird thing is. I never had that pcm crackling when running on gentoo. | 19:22 |
| PupUser | hi | 19:23 |
| tuxboy666 | and I don't hear it on Kubuntu, even with it maxed in kmix. I used to hear it in Windioze on me old pc now that I remember | 19:23 |

| s0ullight | hello does anyone know a flv to 3gp converter? | 19:46 |
| wiz_works | Ienorand: type this: lsmod | grep ieee80211 | 19:46 |
| lejon | You learn atleast that after using and repairing computers for like 8 years ^^ | 19:46 |
| wiz_works | what does it say? | 19:46 |
| tuxboy666 | I dropped ATI a line. Everyone with issues should :) Describe your issue in detail | 19:46 |
| dimi3 | I have debian's grub on hd1,0 and when I do find /boot/grub/stage1 I get it. That means that if I use them in root (hd1,0) I'll still setup the debian grub, right? So I need to use ubuntu's on hd0,1, right? | 19:46 |
| tuxboy666 | :) | 19:46 |
| Flannel | dimi3: stage1 is on your MBR (usually), it points to a stage 2 (which is the stuff in /boot/grub) | 19:47 |
| Ienorand | wiz_works: as of now that outputs nil | 19:47 |
| theshadow | Anyone have anyidea on how to debug a bluetooth ppp tethering issue? Can't figure out what should be in my PPP script or why what I do have is giving an error cause its only outputing "ERROR" | 19:48 |
| unclemike | lejon: all i did was install the system then rebooted and got the crc error | 19:48 |
| wiz_works | Ienorand: if the drivers for the card are loaded, it SHOULD return something... could it be that the atheros/madwifi drivers aren't loaded? | 19:48 |
| dimi3 | Flannel: So what should I do - I want the ubuntu's grub cause I think it'll add the entries for the debian system.. or I'll add them manually later :) however I want the look and deel | 19:48 |
| lejon | unclemike, did you verify the cd before you installed and did you burn on the lowest speed possible? | 19:48 |
| _sourcemaker | how can i start a second x server session within a remote ssh connection? | 19:48 |
| nosa-J | can some one help me make sure my my graphics drivers are working fully? | 19:48 |
| nosa-J | in ubuntu 8.40 | 19:49 |
| tuxboy666 | as the user type startx? | 19:49 |
| guhnouille | nosa-J: you try glxgears? | 19:49 |
| unclemike | yes and no...burned on fastest speed | 19:49 |
| nosa-J | guhnouille: yeah thay work fine | 19:49 |
| _sourcemaker | tuxboy666: yes | 19:49 |
| Matt_ | i want to wipe my entire computer...what's the easiest way to do this | 19:49 |
| Ienorand | wiz_works: It works right now, so presumably they are [this is the computer I'm messing with, also used in chat] | 19:49 |
| lejon | heiko_, I could use z shell with ubuntu right? | 19:49 |
| _sourcemaker | tuxboy666: but I have already a open session local in kde.. can I start a second remote? | 19:49 |
| Flannel | dimi3: You want to follow the instructions on the first link of the !grub factoid, and make sure you point it to your Ubuntu /boot/grub partition | 19:49 |
| boris_ | hello. my friend has plugged in 2 monitors, only 1 works. he is hoping for extended desktop. he has got ati radeon card with "radeon" driver | 19:50 |
| lejon | unclemike, that can damage important files, remember to ALWAYS when burning system disks to burn at the lowest speed possible to prevent damage to the files | 19:50 |
| clintchance | Is there a know problem with wifi and not being able to logout? | 19:50 |
| tuxboy666 | haven't tried radeon. I don't think it supports X1950 | 19:50 |

| unclemike | seems like ubuntu is the only distro i have trouble with....7.04 will install..710 and 8.04 wont install | 19:51 |
| guhnouille | thundarr: if you're running 8.04 then you can install it through enabling shared folders | 19:51 |
| guhnouille | once you've done that | 19:51 |
| Ienorand | wiz_works: lspci gives: 09:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01) | 19:52 |
| thundarr | how do I enable it using shared folders | 19:52 |
| dimas869 | tuxboy666 do you use any translator? | 19:52 |
| thundarr | because I cannot see the shared folder in my windows systems now | 19:52 |
| tuxboy666 | just babelfish for languages other than English/French | 19:52 |
| guhnouille | right clicking on any folder and clicking Sharing Options | 19:52 |

| dimi3 | Flannel: I don't have /boot/grub folder in the / partition of Ubuntu? | 19:54 |
| lejon | boris_, I remember someone coming through with that problem before, you somehow gotta get ur computer to understand that you want a dual-monitor, search the forums, I remembered to have found good howtos | 19:54 |
| tuxboy666 | ati if it supports it | 19:54 |
| Ashex | what's the easiest way to get all the codec info from a video? | 19:54 |
| tuxboy666 | the ATI is open source | 19:54 |
| Ienorand | wiz_works: okies, np, cheers for a nice try, I'm gonna bother the forums next... | 19:54 |
| Flannel | dimi3: When you installed Ubuntu, did you set up a separate /boot partition? | 19:55 |
| wiz_works | I edited etc/motd and put my own custom message in, but when i reboot the box, the default Ubuntu motd message is displayed again. Why? what am I doing wrong? | 19:55 |

| Scunizi | sharperguy: did you upgrade from gutsy to hardy? | 19:56 |
| tuxboy666 | Firefox 3 is said to still have some bugs, lemme check | 19:56 |
| guhnouille | thundarr: also once you've done that you need to configure smb.conf | 19:56 |
| dimi3 | Flannel: I could pastie my fstab for example..? | 19:56 |
| === yoyoma is now known as rubixmaster | ||
| Flannel | dimi3: Sure | 19:56 |
| thundarr | guhnoille I see what you are saying about sharing the folders | 19:56 |
| sharperguy | Scunizi, yes, but not recently | 19:56 |
| guhnouille | thundarr: do you want to share a public folder? | 19:56 |
| heiko_ | lejon dont know ... im using only bash or ksh | 19:56 |
| lejon | heiko_, ill RTFM it ^^ | 19:57 |
| Drk_Guy | Hi guys! | 19:57 |
| Drk_Guy | How can i open a port in the Firewall? | 19:57 |
| guhnouille | thundarr: you need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf after you've installed samba | 19:57 |
| Scunizi | sharperguy: and did you have some additional plugins in the older FF that carried across? | 19:57 |
| heiko_ | :> | 19:57 |
| tuxboy666 | sharperguy, I'm fine, try deleting the flash plugin with Firefox closed | 19:57 |
| dimi3 | Flannel: I have it - the real problem is that I really use cd /boot not cd /mnt/grub.. | 19:57 |
| thundarr | I have to load the smb config files first | 19:57 |
| tuxboy666 | then let Firefox reinstall it | 19:57 |
| LtL | wiz_works: /etc/motd is a symlink, try /var/run/motd | 19:57 |
| thundarr | so what is the command to load the files | 19:57 |
| obake-san | ok, whats the command to create a partition from terminal? | 19:57 |
| dimi3 | Flannel: but I dont have menu.lst | 19:57 |
| guhnouille | thundarr: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 19:57 |
| guhnouille | once you're in the file | 19:57 |
| wiz_works | LtL: I tried editing /var/run/motd directly, same result. | 19:57 |
| basy | sorry but in wich channel should i ask how to configure qchat (win) client? | 19:57 |
| thundarr | guhnoille yes I could share the public folder | 19:58 |
| wiz_works | LtL: as root too | 19:58 |
| Flannel | dimi3: What do you have inside of /boot/grub/ then? | 19:58 |
| sharperguy | Scunizi, tuxboy666, well I only installed plugins from the repos (and possible medibuntu) | 19:58 |
| soulchild | Hi all,... i can only hear sound with the root account,... how do i allow an other user do use sound ? | 19:58 |
| thundarr | guhnoille I would not have a problem with sharing that or any files | 19:58 |
| soulchild | (I have no GUI) | 19:58 |
| tuxboy666 | but my personal experience is Firefox 2.0.0.14 has alot of crash bugs and 3 runs great for me | 19:58 |
| LtL | wiz_works: hrm, i''ve fixed mine, can't recall how/where. | 19:58 |
| m_newton | !paste | 19:58 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 19:58 |
| Scunizi | sharperguy: what you might try after shutting down FF is "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.back" then restart FF.. and see if that does the trick.. if you have lots of bookmarks etc.. back them up before the copy | 19:58 |
| lejon | soulchild, give em the permission for it? Maybe have to have access to sound group? | 19:58 |
| Drk_Guy | How is it that Firestarter and my router say X port is open, but aMule says i have low id? | 19:59 |
| QUILz | wiz_works: In /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh there is a section related to the MOTD under: # Update motd | 19:59 |
| tuxboy666 | that plugin failed for me for some reason in Firefox3, sharper guy. apt-get remove --purge it, che3ck the plugibns folder for traces, then let FF install it | 19:59 |
| sharperguy | Scunizi, ok, ill try it | 19:59 |
| LtL | wiz_works: iirc, maybe /etc/motd.tail or something | 19:59 |
| tuxboy666 | see if that helps | 19:59 |
| Scunizi | sharperguy: fixed me up and made FF3.x faster too. | 19:59 |
| soulchild | lejon: how do i add a user in sound group ? | 19:59 |
| LtL | QUILz: nice one. | 19:59 |
| soulchild | lejon: i am in console mode only | 19:59 |

| bluk | Doug_-_-_-_: did you try to ssh into your winxp from itself? | 20:02 |
| dimi3 | Flannel: so grub-install /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 | 20:02 |
| NinoScript | Scunizi: maybe from cd is easier i think? | 20:02 |
| wiz_works | QUILz: thanks! found it! I think that will do the trick! Lemme reboot and try it. Thanks much! | 20:02 |
| Scunizi | NinoScript: that means you're not making a connection to where ever it's trying to go.. it might not be on the cd.. | 20:02 |

| jterzol | dimi3: setup (hd0) | 20:08 |

| dimi3 | jterzol: the root partition of ubuntu should be sda1.. so that means hd0,1 | 20:09 |

| spideyman | matthew_, thats how i made the move to nix windows pissed me off for the last time so i deleted everything so i had no choice but to learn | 20:09 |

| pierce | ompaul: I'm not playing or ripping, I'm burning a dvd | 20:10 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: no, that'll leave everything else you still have on, including Windows and... what, a borked Ubuntu? I assume you had a problem? | 20:10 |
| LimCore | tuxboy666: I booted my XP today. Its quite good game console. | 20:11 |
| dimi3 | jterzol: I could do another install of ubuntu - and pay more attention on the menus.. but I don't know what went wrong | 20:11 |
| matthew_ | spideyman, that's what I'm going for right now | 20:11 |
| legend2440 | pierce: in synaptic there is a package called devede that is very good at authoring dvd's | 20:11 |
| jterzol | dimi3: hmm, sda1 is (hd0,0) by the way ;) | 20:11 |
| jterzol | dimi3: grub starts counting from 0 | 20:11 |
| BoltClock | rephrasing: am i able to change which day my calendar displays as the first day of the week instead of sunday? | 20:11 |
| pierce | legend2440: awesome, thanks | 20:11 |
| dimi3 | jterzol: I left the grub on hd0.. and / was the first partition there | 20:11 |
| tuxboy666 | in the live CD if you're borked, you could do a mount /dev/hdax /your/directory | 20:11 |
| matthew_ | danielrm, no real problem, it's just windows is a memory hog and it steals space on my hard drive. | 20:11 |
| tuxboy666 | then you can even modify files that are borked | 20:11 |
| Alizeero | hello selk | 20:11 |
| spideyman | matthew_, sink or swim i always say | 20:11 |
| jterzol | dimi3: so try the following: | 20:11 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: then basically just start the LiveCD installer, get through to partitioning, and then choose manual partitioning. | 20:12 |
| matthew_ | isn't there, like, a program that I can make a boot cd that wipes the drive? | 20:12 |
| dbugger | I have problems with to get the ATI hardware acceleration working in HArdy. Can someone help me please? | 20:12 |
| jterzol | dimi3: root (hd0,0) | 20:12 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: the Ultimate Boot CD has Darik's Boot and Nuke. | 20:12 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: which can erase the entire drive. | 20:12 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: but it's easier just to wipe the partitions. | 20:12 |
| tuxboy666 | you might do a chown chgrp to avoid having to sudo everything | 20:12 |
| jterzol | dimi3: setup (hd0) | 20:12 |
| tuxboy666 | safe to do that from live cd | 20:13 |
| dimi3 | jterzol: I get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition... | 20:13 |
| matthew_ | danielrm I just ran dban and it "ended with non-fatal errors" basically did nothing. Last time I deleted a hard disk I used window wiper or something I can't remember the name. | 20:13 |
| jterzol | dimi3: hmm, looks like something is wrong with your device mappings | 20:13 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: odd. If you're using a LiveCD then you could just do this: | 20:13 |
| Lucky67 | I have a hard problem: I try "sudo apt-get update" and the download is stuck (I use de "archive.ubuntu.com"); last line is: "99% [2 Translation-de bzip2 0]" | 20:14 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<hda/sda/whatever> | 20:14 |
| Lucky67 | are the servers overlaoded? | 20:14 |
| jterzol | dimi3: try do use different variations of (hd0,0) and use tab completion to see if you can find any files | 20:14 |
| jterzol | s/do/to | 20:14 |
| tuxboy666 | this very Hardy install was once aqn Edgy install I borked, but repaired with LiveCD | 20:14 |
| dimi3 | jterzol: .. maybe when I try with hd1,0 I get the debian's one.. so I'll go for another installation of ubuntu and cross fingers :) | 20:14 |
| matthew_ | danielrm, i'll be honest I don't know what that means. :P | 20:14 |
| dimi3 | jterzol: if you're still here I'll write to you | 20:14 |
| Lucky67 | If I try to "search best server" in synaptic, i get message: can't find any | 20:14 |
| jterzol | dimi3: okay. then I wish you good luck ;) | 20:14 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: it'll write 0s to the hard drive. | 20:14 |
| jterzol | dimi3: cya | 20:15 |
| elliotjhug | anyone know how to reneable the save tabs open feature in firefox if it's accidentally disabled with the checkbox? | 20:15 |
| matthew_ | danielrm, am I just typing that into terminal? | 20:15 |
| kitche | elliotjhug: it's in the options in firefox | 20:15 |
| Lucky67 | it is about version 7.10 | 20:15 |
| elliotjhug | kitche: any idea where? - I couldn't find it | 20:16 |
| DanielRM | matthew_: as root, yes, but also make sure that you get the right thing for of. of will typically be /dev/hda or /dev/sda; the latter is more common for laptops, the former for desktops. | 20:16 |
| Iron | hi. Does anyone here use screenlets? i'm interested in a weather screenlet. Have some of them but they asked to provide a zip code but i can't provide one, because i'm not from US. Can anyone give any advice? | 20:16 |

| BoltClock | i think | 20:16 |
| matthew_ | ok thanks for the advice guys, I'm off to experiment, everythings backed up already, so no worries | 20:16 |

| fsufitch | hey guys i have a problem. a friend of mine just bought an XPS M1330 and installed ubuntu 8.10 on it. it works great, but it looks like his wireless card (driver) doesnt have WEP support. it connects ok to networks w/o WEP. he doesnt remember what kind of card he picked for his laptop, and i don't know how to find it out to get the right driver. anyone know how to do it / if there is a generic driver for intel wireless cards | 20:23 |
| fsufitch | (yes, it is intel)? | 20:23 |
| tuxboy666 | I got a broadcom driver | 20:23 |
| fsufitch | right now his driver is "iwl3945" as networkmanager says it | 20:24 |
| ompaul | !wireless > fsufitch the bot can tell ya here | 20:24 |
| tuxboy666 | but it's bad idea to seperate the inf. Other files get used after the inf gets read | 20:24 |

| tuxboy666 | make it accessable by using groups. The Linux group system should take care of it | 20:25 |
| xenomorph99 | Make what accessible? The partition? | 20:26 |
| tuxboy666 | like have your users for each Linux system in the same group | 20:26 |

Can somebody help me to install my internet? | 20:28 |
| tuxboy666 | at least Ubuntu is nice enough to detect and list xp when it overwrites Bill's bootloader | 20:28 |
| addchild314 | u need the 64 bit driver | 20:28 |

| xenomorph99 | Well, that's what I thought (FAT has no permissions) but I have dumped some files to a FAT32 partition and, when I try to delete them from Mandriva, it says I don't have the right permissions | 20:28 |
| xenomorph99 | But if I become root, I can | 20:28 |
| mehehool | I assume u know how to get the .inf file | 20:28 |
| Scunizi | ghostknife: yes but you'd be giving up lots of security.. not recommended. | 20:29 |

| addchild314 | meh; yeah | 20:29 |
| tuxboy666 | ahhh forgot that's a chipset !wireless | 20:29 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: do yo have a gui at all? | 20:29 |
| xenomorph99 | I want to get around that. I don't want to have to be a particular user to be able to manipulate these files | 20:30 |
| tuxboy666 | the wiki should say which driver works for it | 20:30 |
| QUILz | xenomorph99: I mean uid or gid set in the partition's mount options | 20:30 |

| addchild314 | lemme boot into xp... bb in 30 or less | 20:30 |
| xenomorph99 | I dunno. I don't have the partitions set up in fstab. I normally 'mount them on demand' via the places->remote places system | 20:30 |

| sothe | ok, will do | 20:32 |

| Worse1 | i have a problem when trying to load Ubuntu it drops to Busybox v1.1.3 .... does that mean its incompatable with that machine or is it a problem that can be fixed? | 20:40 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: you can access ext3 from windows | 20:41 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: you'd download the package to the usb on another machine and carry it across to the other machine and then just double click on it.. it should be a .deb file. | 20:41 |
| xenomorph99 | I want to use FAT32 | 20:41 |
| tuxboy666 | then each user from each distro gets put in clowns. Partition was set by owner to be readable by clowns | 20:41 |
| whik | how do we install python on ubuntu? or is it preinstalled somewhere | 20:41 |
| xenomorph99 | I don't want to use the flaky ext3 driver that takes 3 hours to mount the partitions | 20:41 |
| xenomorph99 | Or did last time I tried it | 20:41 |
| tj13820 | Scunizi:i can't double click, no GUI | 20:41 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: that's fine. But it doesn't support permissions and you are going to have to change default behavior for your "don't care who the owner is" behavior | 20:41 |
| Scunizi | whik: sudo apt-get install python ? | 20:41 |
| whik | ill try | 20:41 |
| Telroth|Sleep | daedra, I don't see anything wrong with your menu.lst, the only thing I can suggest is restoring the windows loader and then reinstalling grub. | 20:41 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: sorry I forgot.. do a man dpkg for instructions for cli | 20:41 |
| xenomorph99 | How do you mean? | 20:42 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: I mean fstab is the easy way for you to take care of this | 20:42 |
| Kakurady | I installed LAMP on Ubuntu Desktop, but there's no www-data user... or is it supposed to be ran as root? | 20:42 |

| afallenhope | is there a way to increase my swap ? | 20:42 |
| xenomorph99 | Then I have to mess about with UUIDs and I can't be bothered. I just want an easy way to dump files onto a partition where I don't have to mess about with _anything_. Is that at all possible? | 20:43 |
| jrib | Kakurady: there should be a www-data group that apache runs as if you installed from the repositories | 20:43 |

| Excelsi0r | Hi people | 20:43 |
| whik | huh it says its at the newest version but i dont see it under anything | 20:43 |
| Kakurady | It's /var/www/ | 20:43 |
| Scunizi | whik do you have a gui? check synaptic and search for python.. you'll get lots of referances. | 20:44 |
| tuxboy666 | afallenhope use sysctl.conf to reduce swapping behaviour. Try vm.swappiness=0 in the file then do in terminal "sudo sysctl -p" or better yet, reboot | 20:44 |
| whik | i have a tgz file for it on my desktop | 20:44 |
| kitche | whik: type python in a terminal :) | 20:44 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: you realize this stuff is a one-time thing? Instead of spending your time trying to avoid it, you could have been finished already! | 20:44 |
| Scunizi | whik: better to get it from synaptic and the repos then from some other place. | 20:44 |

| xenomorph99 | I don't see why I need to add them to fstab. I can't believe I'm the first person to want to dump some files to a partition and have absolutely no permissions applied to those files so anyone could access them from any other OS | 20:45 |
| fredrik | Does anyone know a good front-end to iptables? | 20:45 |
| tuxboy666 | ahh I misread. I thou8ght you wanted the kernel to use more RAM | 20:45 |
| Agu10 | Hello | 20:45 |
| Excelsi0r | Is it a normal thing if a file copied with "cp -p" see his privileges changed to 777-root:root .... | 20:45 |
| sayotte | is there a way to restrict ubuntu's nfs-kernel-server to NFSv3 or below? | 20:45 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: try cd /media then "ls" to see what's in there.. it might be listed as usb.. so the path would be /media/usb | 20:46 |
| tuxboy666 | the swap partition is how big now? | 20:46 |
| Kakurady | ompaul: Thanks, the www-data user is there, but it does not show up in Users and Groups. | 20:46 |
| tj13820 | okay | 20:46 |

| tj13820 | Scunizi: ty | 20:46 |
| ompaul | Kakurady, ;-) | 20:46 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: if you wait until you login and then mount the partitions as your user, it "just works" | 20:46 |
| m_newton | Scunizi, there r exceptions, mainly when you get it from another repo like medibuntu; there you just add the repo; the way with synaptic, all ur apps are updated if updates r avalible | 20:46 |

| xenomorph99 | But when I boot into Mandriva, I'm not the same user | 20:46 |
| theshadow | stupid question... if you can see this message just respond with yes. | 20:46 |
| addchild314 | mehehool | 20:46 |

| Scunizi | m_newton: you're speaking to the choir here. | 20:46 |
| sayotte | theshadow: yes | 20:46 |
| xenomorph99 | Are you saying I need to set the same UID in Mandriva as I have in Ubuntu? | 20:46 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: so? | 20:46 |
| theshadow | sayotte: ty | 20:46 |
| Agu10 | someone can help my? | 20:47 |
| m_newton | Scunizi, or when the package is not avalible in repos, but that usually means that it is not testes | 20:47 |
| xenomorph99 | Well, I want to be able to switch between Ubuntu and Mandriva and manipulate the dumped files | 20:47 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: fat32 isn't aware of UIDs | 20:47 |
| tuxboy666 | afallenhope you could resize it via gparted in a Live session, but if not all swap is even close to being used, try increasing vm.swappiness instead of setting a low number like 0 | 20:47 |
| m_newton | Scunizi, what? | 20:47 |
| xenomorph99 | So what prevents me from deleting those files from Mandriva ? | 20:47 |
| QUILz | xenomorph99: When you boot into a user in Mandriva and mount the FAT partition, it should mount it with your permissions. If it then it's probably a bug | 20:47 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: nothing | 20:47 |
| xenomorph99 | Unless I am root in Mandriva | 20:47 |
| xenomorph99 | But it prevents me | 20:47 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: it will be /media/sd"x""number" try several if there are several. | 20:47 |
| Agu10 | helloo | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 20:47 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: ask the mandriva channel | 20:47 |
| Scunizi | m_newton: you're telling me things I've already told others.. but thanks anyway | 20:47 |
| Telroth|Sleep | daedra, the only way I know of is very roundabout: You need a copy of the windows 95 or windows 98 version of fdisk. fdisk /mbr will rebuild the windows bootloader for you | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | is there a way I can put a program in the background if I know its PID?? | 20:48 |
| xenomorph99 | So, if I go and dump some files from Mandriva and Ubuntu can't access them, I can come back and ask the same question again? | 20:48 |
| Excelsi0r | Can someone tell me how to preserve ownership of a file with the cp command ? | 20:48 |
| m_newton | Scunizi, oh, srry, just entered after pm ing a guy | 20:48 |
| sayotte | ActionParsnip: within the shell you launched it from, ctrl-z, then "bg" | 20:48 |
| QUILz | xenomorph99: Ubuntu should be able to access them | 20:48 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: it depends how the OS decides to mount the partition. On Ubuntu, if you wait until you login, then mount it, you'll have permissions | 20:48 |
| LtL | Excelsi0r: cp -p | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sayotte: cool :) | 20:48 |
| Telroth|Sleep | daedra, if you have a windows computer you can access and floppy drives in both computers, then go to bootdisk.com to get a copy of the 98 boot disk, else you'll just need to search around | 20:48 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: like cd /media/sdb1 or cd /media/sdb2 or cd /media/sdc1 etc. | 20:48 |
| m_newton | Scunizi, well convey the message, I am going to eat | 20:48 |
| xenomorph99 | OK, can I just explain how I use this partition? | 20:49 |
| Agu10 | just help me! | 20:49 |
| Scunizi | m_newton: :) | 20:49 |
| sayotte | ActionParsnip: the shell commands like that operate on "jobs" rather than PIDs though | 20:49 |
| sayotte | doh, he left | 20:49 |
| sayotte | ok, my question has long since scrolled off the top so I'll repeat it: | 20:49 |
| sayotte | is there a way to restrict ubuntu's nfs-kernel-server to NFSv3 or below? | 20:49 |
| sayotte | I am having trouble getting a network install over NFS to work and need some insight into what's going wrong, but ethereal can't decode NFSv4 | 20:49 |
| Excelsi0r | LtL: It's not working, my files got privileges 777 owned by root, even with the -p | 20:49 |
| Agu10 | how do i configure my two screens to work??? | 20:49 |
| Kakurady | Something isn't right. | 20:49 |
| Scunizi | sayotte: you might ask in #ubuntu-server if no body here knows. | 20:49 |
| sayotte | Agu10: Xorg -config | 20:49 |

| jrib | whik: try it and decide for yourself (it's my default) | 20:50 |
| Scunizi | whik: try it and see if you like it.. | 20:50 |
| Agu10 | bash: xorg: orden no encontrada | 20:50 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: any luck? | 20:50 |
| xenomorph99 | I boot into Ubuntu. I don't have the partition set up in fstab. It's a FAT32 partition. I dump files onto it. I then later want to manipulate these files from Mandriva or Windows (or Ubuntu). I then boot into Windows. Windows doesn't give a monkeys about the permissions so I can do what I like. I then boot into Mandriva which I installed after Ubuntu. Without being root, I can't then delete files on that partition. It says I don | 20:50 |
| Agu10 | it does not work | 20:50 |
| kitche | sayotte: the NFS version is decided in the NFS client/server config not really the kernel all the kernel does is give NFS support so you can mount the NFS filesystem | 20:50 |
| tj13820 | Scunizi: not yet, can't find a .deb madwifi driver | 20:51 |
| kitche | xenomorph99: yes that's because you don't have permissions | 20:51 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: that is a mandriva issue. It's choosing to mount the partition without giving you permissions | 20:51 |
| xenomorph99 | So FAT32 does support partitions now? | 20:51 |
| xenomorph99 | permissions, not partitions | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: search for the previous package name I gave you.. get that whole package. | 20:51 |
| addchild314 | meh: did you want that INF? | 20:51 |
| cjk2 | xenomorph99: only with posixovl | 20:51 |

It detects the networks, asks me for the passkey and tries to connect, but never actually connects. I have another laptop that seems to connect find and the wireless also works okay on Windows. Any ideas? | 20:51 |
| tj13820 | Scunizi: which one? | 20:51 |
| Agu10 | how do i configure my two screens to work in their resolutions? | 20:51 |
| sayotte | kitche: right so the "client/server" config--- the client here is a network install kernel which would be non-trivial to force into NFSv3 or below | 20:51 |
| daedra | Telroth|Sleep: ok thanks | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: I'll look it up again. | 20:51 |
| tj13820 | Scunizi: ndiswrapper | 20:51 |
| xenomorph99 | OK, go ahead | 20:51 |
| sayotte | kitche: I was hoping to configure the server half | 20:52 |
| sayotte | and "nfs-kernel-server" is a package including both userland and kernel apps | 20:52 |
| lejon | what are shadow passwords? | 20:52 |
| sayotte | errr | 20:52 |
| kitche | sayotte: umm not sure why you keep bringing up kernel since the kernel has nothing to do with it | 20:52 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-server... hopefully | 20:52 |
| tj13820 | Scunizi: ahh | 20:52 |

| * Codexs está away; Far away... - site[n/a] email[none@none] uin[none] log[on] pager[off] -=[Cyber]=- | 20:52 | |
| kitche | sayotte: it's the NFS config files | 20:52 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: the OS sets permissions when you mount it. The OS decides the permissions to give the files without any information from the fat32 filesystem. Your easy solution is to edit your fstab on mandriva. Ask the mandriva channel for a better way if you need one | 20:52 |
| tj13820 | it was never restricted in previous installs. | 20:52 |
| sayotte | kitche: nfs-kernel-server is a package, it encompasses botht he kernel module and the userland nfsd | 20:52 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: it is a specific one for the server.. I had issues on gutsy because it didn't exist.. hardy included it. | 20:53 |
| sayotte | kitche: ok do you know where the NFS config files are? | 20:53 |
| cjk2 | jrib: there's posixovl which mounts on top of fat to store unix permissions | 20:53 |
| xenomorph99 | OK. Now we've established that, I'll ask the question again | 20:53 |
| jrib | cjk2: not by default? | 20:53 |
| onisciente | When the network connects it defines one dns that doesnt connect me to nothing. Although, if i change the dns to the dns of my server it works. When I restart, i lose the previous settings. I put the dns on the dhclient.conf and nothing happened. I set the dns with the network-config program and no change have been made. Does anyone can help me? | 20:53 |
| cjk2 | jrib: "by default:? | 20:53 |
| jrib | cjk2: never mind, I see what you mean | 20:54 |
| kitche | sayotte: on Ubuntu no | 20:54 |
| xenomorph99 | If the OS sets the permissions, how can I remove those permissions for those files OR tell the OS NOT to apply permissions to certain files ? | 20:54 |
| ompaul | !fat32 | xenomorph99 | 20:54 |
| ubottu | xenomorph99: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE | 20:54 |

| Carpe|Diem | Does anyone know: what is the best file manager?:D | 20:54 |
| lonetech1920 | how can i check files and packages like in /etc because some files have become missing or corrupted | 20:54 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: in fact it might be in the server cd.. with server booted put the cd in and then cd /media/cdrom0 to it.. then "sudo updatedb" wait for a few then "locate <filename>" or "locate /media/cdrom0/*.deb" | 20:54 |
| Excelsi0r | anyone can explain me why my "cp -p" don't preserve files ownership and permissions ? | 20:54 |
| sayotte | kitche: looks like there's an /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server | 20:54 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: you can't as far as I know. You can set permissions on the whole partition in your fstab | 20:54 |
| Scunizi | Excelsi0r: does it need a capital "P" | 20:55 |
| Agu10 | bye | 20:55 |
| sayotte | though I'm having trouble finding the relevant man page | 20:55 |
| sayotte | shoulda looked there sooner | 20:55 |
| cjk2 | Excelsi0r: it does. | 20:55 |
| ompaul | xenomorph99, if that creates issues for you I will be surprised if you want to use ext3 then you should have the same user:group and possibly UID set for both sides to be happy (I know this is needed for NFS but the uid might not need to be the same for fat) | 20:55 |
| kitche | Excelsi0r: well cp -p does not perserve permissions but does perserve user id and group id among other things | 20:55 |
| LtL | Excelsi0r: my mistake, i thought it was -p, man cp. | 20:55 |
| ompaul | !best | Carpe|Diem | 20:56 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:56 |
| xenomorph99 | I want to use FAT32, though, as this is easily accessed from Windows. Last time I tried the driver that accessed ext2 or 3, I ended up with a world of pain in extended log on times etc in Windows as it mounted these partitions | 20:56 |
| Scunizi | xenomorph99: ext3 can be access easily from windows as well if you load the ext3 driver. | 20:56 |
| Carpe|Diem | hmm, ok ompaul | 20:57 |
| Knifa | Hi, I'm having a problem with the wireless on my laptop. It refuses to connect to my network. It detects the networks, asks me for the passkey and tries to connect, but never actually connects. I have another laptop that seems to connect find and the wireless also works okay on Windows. Any ideas? | 20:57 |
| Knifa | err and my card works okay on Windows, rather. | 20:57 |
| Excelsi0r | cjk2: well... the copied files are owned by root with 777 permissions after the copy... :s | 20:57 |
| Carpe|Diem | thx :/ | 20:57 |
| xenomorph99 | Yes, and like I said, last time I used it, it used to take 2-3 mins to mount the partitions | 20:57 |

| xenomorph99 | OK, I'll try that. I sort of asked that earlier and was told I couldn't do that | 21:03 |
| whik | and change them all to i think its amas | 21:03 |
| ompaul | xenomorph99, you could however do this rwxrwxrwx on a directory below the mount point | 21:04 |
| CircleCode | join #ubuntu-fr | 21:04 |
| Ward1983 | my microphone doesnt work anymore | 21:04 |
| Tobias92 | addchild314, well, the wierd thing is I do get sound and visual, but for a few seconds then the video hangs | 21:04 |
| xenomorph99 | Hmm. On the chown wiki thing, it says not to set the owner to nobody | 21:04 |
| CircleCode | me revoila... | 21:04 |
| lonetech1920 | when i put the sudo commands i get error: sudo: unable to resolve host sun-pc | 21:04 |
| Scunizi | ompaul: for xenomorph99 benefit .. can't you make the entire partition usable by everyone from any system like a NAS? | 21:04 |
| CircleCode | avec mon GPU toujours à 70°C | 21:04 |
| xenomorph99 | ompaul: Yes, I suppose that would work, too | 21:04 |
| Ward1983 | my microphone doesnt work anymore, i added all the possible sliders and unmuted everything etc, but nothing helps | 21:04 |
| ompaul | Scunizi, and my last suggestion was almost do that | 21:04 |
| Ward1983 | it worked fine a while ago | 21:04 |
| mehehool | addchild314 did u not get my email address | 21:05 |
| Scunizi | ompaul: missed it sorry | 21:05 |
| CircleCode | alors que je viens de forcer le ventilo a 5500 trs/min | 21:05 |
| Tobias92 | whik, there now | 21:05 |
| addchild314 | mehehool: need it again | 21:05 |
| ompaul | Scunizi, well I did say _almost_ | 21:05 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: new files you create won't be 777 though | 21:05 |
| xenomorph99 | The trouble with that, though, is that when I dump new files on there, I have to keep changing the permissions. | 21:05 |
| margouillat974 | list | 21:05 |
| xenomorph99 | Yes, exactly. Which comes back to using fstab | 21:05 |
| xenomorph99 | I suppose | 21:05 |
| addchild314 | Tobias96: i had to uninstall all flash packages with Synaptic, then reinstall with firefox. That fixed that problem for me | 21:05 |
| bluk | CircleCode: wrong channel :-) | 21:05 |
| mehehool | try this one mehehool@yahoo.com | 21:06 |
| jrib | xenomorph99: if you use fat32, yes. If you use ext3, you either set up the users on the different operatinig systems with the same uid or you use ACLs | 21:06 |
| mehehool | addchild314 try this one mehehool@yahoo.com | 21:06 |
| whik | does it play now tobias? | 21:06 |
| CircleCode | bluk: yep, I saw it... sorry | 21:06 |
| Tobias92 | whik, could you call me "Tobias92" so IRC highlights the message? I think I missed your actual instruction | 21:07 |
| Ward1983 | my microphone doesnt work anymore, i added all the possible sliders and unmuted everything etc, but nothing helps | 21:07 |
| Ward1983 | any suggestions? | 21:07 |
| xenomorph99 | OK, when I install Ubuntu, it makes a decent job of populating fstab. However, suppose I mess around with my partitions by adding or deleting, then I may get some new partitions (obviously). Is there a way of getting the fstab file to be automatically rebuilt ? | 21:07 |
| addchild314 | mehehool: its going | 21:07 |
| xenomorph99 | Or, if I add a new HDD, for example | 21:07 |
| whik | Tobias92 k go to system then preferences | 21:07 |
| Tobias92 | whik, there now. | 21:08 |
| xenomorph99 | Otherwise, do I have to find out which UUIDs match which partitions and do it by hand ? | 21:08 |
| RandyboY | What program can encode and burn avi to svcd? | 21:08 |
| whik | Tobias92 then change them all to amas | 21:08 |

| Tobias92 | And what all? | 21:09 |
| whik | Tobias92 sorry its Alsa | 21:09 |

| Mercuree | is it possible that hoary archives are no longer supported | 21:10 |
| whik | Tobias92 i had the same problem played for 2 secoends then stopped after some research on google and in the archives i fixed it by changing all the options under sound to alsa | 21:10 |
| sayotte | Anscombe: if it's an LCD monitor you may need to set it to its native resolution to get satisfactory results | 21:10 |
| nickrud | Mercuree hoary is obsolete, the sources don't exist anymore | 21:10 |

| addchild314 | mercuree that ur still using hoary... hows it working for you | 21:12 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: you might have to "sudo mkdir /media/usb" then sudo mount /dev/sdxX /media/usb ... type sudo fdisk -l to get a list of devices currently plugged in. | 21:12 |
| Mercuree | addchild314 i barely use linux so its working fine :P | 21:12 |
| whik | Tobias92, thats weird for me it worked gimme a min | 21:12 |
| Mercuree | Bluk its working | 21:12 |
| addchild314 | mercuree lol, then its ok | 21:13 |
| Mercuree | just had to unplug it and plug it in again | 21:13 |
| Mercuree | lol | 21:13 |
| nickrud | Mercuree you can order them from here, it's faster (probably other places as well) http://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi/products/linux/ubuntu | 21:13 |
| Scunizi | tj13820: with that you should be able to discover the partiton name for the usb.. like sda2 or sdb1 something of that sort | 21:13 |

| Scunizi | clintchance: next to none | 21:15 |
| Anscombe | [21:10] <sayotte> Anscombe: if it's an LCD monitor you may need to set it to its native resolution to get satisfactory - I did, 800x600, but it goes huge, 1024x768 is the one i want, but its got fuzzy text. | 21:15 |
| xenomorph99 | There exists clamav. So it's susceptible | 21:15 |
| clintchance | Scunizi,Ok but why? | 21:15 |
| whik | Tobias92, kk on firefox look for a plugin called xwrap | 21:15 |
| Kumool | but it is easy to run a script that crashes ur pc :) | 21:15 |
| Scunizi | clintchance: slim, non-existant, not to worry.. because of the way the system is built | 21:15 |
| Kumool | or deletes everything | 21:15 |
| Ward1983 | Scunizi, well it did work but i altered settings because i thought my sound didnt work (my mother switched my decoder to analog so i had no sound) and since then it doesnt work anymore, i even set all sliders op, unmute everyhing ,etc | 21:16 |

| whik | Tobias92 ill post a link | 21:16 |
| clintchance | Scunizi, then why is there a virus scanner in the Add/Remove thing | 21:16 |
| ompaul | xenomorph99, ^^ perhaps you would like to read that | 21:16 |
| whik | Tobias92, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1879 | 21:16 |
| Scunizi | clintchance: to protect your windows friends. | 21:16 |
| QUILz | Anscombe: Are you sure 1024x768 is your monitor's native resolution? | 21:16 |
| xenomorph99 | ompaul. Read what? About clamav? | 21:17 |
| clintchance | Scunizi, LOL | 21:17 |
| ompaul | xenomorph99, no about however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 21:17 |
| xenomorph99 | I know why. Because no one likes Bill. And because of permissions (which I know all about ;-)) | 21:17 |
| Tobias92 | whik, done | 21:17 |
| maddin | hi :) | 21:18 |
| Anscombe | [21:16] <QUILz> Anscombe: Are you sure 1024x768 is your monitor's native resolution? - I can't be 100% positive, it's a toshiba laptop. How can I find out? | 21:18 |
| whik | Tobias92, did it work? | 21:18 |
| xenomorph99 | Anyone used this Diskmounter script? | 21:18 |

| maddin | does anybody know how to set ubuntu to mount my usb-sticks with full write permission? | 21:18 |
| s0ul | где шрифтов стащить можно?? | 21:18 |
| bluk | clintchance: I think the most important fact is the concept of "permissions" win lacks; in linux, a virus would have the same permission its user have; it can damage the user space, but not the system space. | 21:19 |

Any help is welcome. | 21:19 |

| matthew_ | how much space does the hardy OS occupy? | 21:19 |
| Mercuree | bluk windows does have permissions, its just less accessible than in linux. its been incorportaed in vista in a major way | 21:19 |
| Tobias92 | whik, no, sadly, the problem persists | 21:19 |
| bluk | Mercuree: true, but I just wished to highlight a summed up answer :-) | 21:20 |
| Skorzen | matthew_: less than 5 gb | 21:20 |
| xenomorph99 | Anscombe: I found setting up a Nvidia card to be a pain. You're best downloading the nvidia-settings tool and running it as sudo then letting it update your xconf file | 21:20 |

| jrib | xenomorph99: that's libata, all drives show up as sd* if it's enabled | 21:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !pt | 21:25 |

| jrib | xenomorph99: no, why? | 21:26 |
| matthew_ | tunix12; could I get more info. I'm still pretty new, I was just sick of windows | 21:26 |
| K^Holtz | Skorzen: im sorry, that wasnt the site, let me get it | 21:26 |
| xenomorph99 | because I sort of expected them to be reported as Mandriva sees them. | 21:26 |
| Skorzen | K^Holtz: ok | 21:26 |
| K^Holtz | Skorzen: http://www.mitsucars.com/MMNA/jsp/evo/08/index.do?loc=en-us ... im not sure if its flash or what | 21:27 |
| matthew_ | where is the partition manager, I'm not sure why I can't find it | 21:27 |
| xenomorph99 | Does libata 'swap them around', too ? | 21:27 |
| TuniX12 | matthew_: you bios does not recognize big hdd i guess your pc is old (?) | 21:27 |
| Skorzen | matthew_: gparted? | 21:27 |

| matthew_ | tunix12 I just got it in april | 21:27 |
| Skorzen | K^Holtz: i can see it | 21:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | matthew_ Be aware that flashing the bios has a small probabliltiy of turning your computr into a doorstop.. If you dont heed that extra 20 gigs yet. It might be wise to put off flashing the bios until you really need that space | 21:27 |
| xenomorph99 | Because one is IDE and one isn't | 21:27 |
| adriano | some people can tell me... about wars games ? | 21:28 |
| xenomorph99 | And if they had the same partitions, I wouldn't know which was which necessarily | 21:28 |
| K^Holtz | Skorzen: i figured it would just be an issue for me, do u have any idea why? | 21:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > adriano | 21:28 |
| Skorzen | K^Holtz: try the flashplugin-nonfree package and also msttcore-fonts may help | 21:28 |
| matthew_ | skorzen, yes. Jack sparrow, thanks looks like it's what I'm going to have to do, I'm not into killing my computer | 21:28 |

| ajonat | Hi! one question: what's /boot/abi-2.6.24-18-generic for? | 21:31 |
| K^Holtz | Skorzen: here is another example, the virtual tours will load, but i cannot switch between them http://www.princetonatbostonroad.com/Apartments/module/virtual_tours/ | 21:31 |
| TuniX12 | moonkostar: what type of reeor you get? | 21:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | matthew_ is it an ide drive? | 21:31 |
| Skorzen | K^Holtz: actually i'm using ff3 but as long as i don't know what causes your problem, you can downgrade ff :) | 21:31 |
| xenomorph99 | Yes, I can see it's an issue. On the subject of UUIDs, when I first installed Ubuntu, it automatically populated fstab for me quite adequately. But after adding a HDD, it seems that I have to update it by hand. Is it not possible to force Ubuntu to rebuild the fstab file as though it was a first install ? | 21:32 |
| K^Holtz | Skorzen: haha, ill probably ask around a lil more then, thanks for your help tho | 21:32 |
| Skorzen | K^Holtz: in that site i have the same problem. tours doesn't load | 21:32 |
| matthew_ | jack_sparrow: i don't think so... | 21:32 |

| xenomorph99 | What does this diskmounter script in the Ubuntu wiki do then? Does it just mount everything it can see or does it update fstab ? | 21:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | matthew_ you can look at the drive.. a wide ribbon cable.. 60 wires is ide.. smaller 1/2" wide will be sata.. ide usually have a place for two drives, sata have only one | 21:35 |

| matthew_ | does anyone use dual monitors and no where I can find hardware support so I can use an external monitor with hardy? (I have a nvidia quadro nvs 140m) | 21:38 |
| matthew_ | tunix12: is it possible that windows is still lurking on my computer (for the install I used the live cd, clicked install, and clicked guided use entire disk) | 21:39 |
| TuniX12 | matthew_: for example 300 GB is 279 GiB | 21:39 |
| maslowbeer | TuniX12: GB is the proper binary rounded numbered size and GiB is 1000 MiB | 21:39 |

| BCM43 | shane_ i am | 22:04 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - it's just a basic lamp install, everything goes fine until the "Select and Install Software" -- it gets 85% of the way through and dumps me out | 22:04 |
| lejon | Laptzo, does ur wifi work then? | 22:04 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - doesn't give me an error code, no description of the problem ... nothing | 22:05 |
| Stroganoff | Y-Town, try this meanwhile. this tutorial explains how to add a custom "Modeline" to the xorg.conf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 -- and here is one of many modeline generators. just put in your desired resolution and refresh rate. http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ | 22:05 |
| Laptzo | lejon: well it show Wlan in network manager so iam asuming it works | 22:05 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: what disk are you using? | 22:05 |
| skillet | aceinthehole, did you try to do the lamp install after ubuntu was already installed... | 22:05 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - Ubuntu Server 8.04 installed an primary hdd with default partition scheme | 22:05 |
| lejon | Laptzo, Can you connect to wireless networks and it works? | 22:05 |
| aceinthehole | skillet - no, during basic install | 22:05 |
| TuniX12 | Laptzo: install ndiswrapper | 22:06 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: no, i mean what cd | 22:06 |
| skillet | aceinthehole, i would try doing it afterwards with apt-get | 22:06 |
| Laptzo | lejon: how do i connect to a wireless network..no icon nothing for it | 22:06 |
| Y-Town | Stroganoff: if you posted anything befor your last post I missed it, I set the resolution to a different one with another refresh and lost everything and had to restart X | 22:06 |
| Laptzo | TuniX12: i doubt that is the best method atm | 22:06 |
| bakersfieldboy_ | whats a good site builder ? | 22:06 |
| Y-Town | Stroganoff: can you repost please | 22:06 |
| TuniX12 | Laptzo: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 22:06 |
| lejon | Laptzo, you have any specific wireless network you wanna connect to? Because then you got to network manager and manually configure ur wifi card for it | 22:06 |
| mehehool | hi i need help i am trying to install a belkin wireless card and i was told that i needed a winxp 64bit .inf well i finally got one but ndis says its invalid driver can u help | 22:06 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - I'm not sure which build it is specifically, but it's mirrored on the ubuntu web site (Ubuntu Server 8.04) | 22:06 |
| Stroganoff | Y-Town im sorry about that. my last post is essential with the two links. | 22:06 |
| Sun01Tech | right now at install prompt with the prepare a disk space i chose using entire disk of 320 gb sata drive...its just stuck at this window the mouse icon is busy and no forward button highlighted...what should i do? | 22:07 |
| Stroganoff | i just said the underlying Xorg display backend is currently going through some very difficult changes, whatever | 22:07 |
| Y-Town | Stroganoff: Thank you, I will look at the link | 22:07 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 did that answer your question? thx for helping btw | 22:08 |
| gorg_ | me think so to. trouble all the way for me with it :) | 22:08 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: yes | 22:08 |
| Stroganoff | Sun01Tech you could try the alternate iso | 22:08 |
| Laptzo | TuniX12: what did that do? | 22:08 |
| danand_ | Sun01Tech - how long has it been stuck? | 22:08 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: try the alternate desktop CD. | 22:08 |
| Sun01Tech | stronganoff: i tried that and still i can't finish the install....... | 22:09 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: it is text based and supports more hardware, and it should give you errors | 22:09 |
| skillet | BCM43, thats not going to give him the option do install a lamp stack | 22:09 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - I was thinking of doing that, but I was reading the server kernal was configured a bit differently | 22:09 |
| Sun01Tech | danand_: for like 10 or 15 minutes | 22:09 |
| Stroganoff | Sun01Tech you're talking about a mouse icon? the alternate cd is text based menus only | 22:09 |
| gorg_ | in FireFox, after typing "about:plugins" i get one section not being enabled. this is the "Default Plugin" and i am not able to view any videos with firefox.. :| | 22:09 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - yeah, I'm not using that GUI install, just the basic ANSI ... it looks almost exactly like the Debian installer | 22:09 |
| Telroth|Sleep | I need some help with my DVD drive. The BIOS allows me to boot from it (kubuntu 8.04 dvd), but the drive does not show up at all when running an installed system (kubuntu 8.04 (/dev/scd0 doesn't exist), Vista SP1 (No Optical drives show up in device manager)). Any help is welcome. | 22:09 |
| BCM43 | skillet: aceinthehole ok, i dont know, wait unitill one of the really high up people get here, i dont think any body here knows | 22:10 |
| lejon | Laptzo, otherwise you could try using wicd as ur network manager, if ur wireless card already work, otherwise you gotta get that sorted first :P | 22:10 |
| Sun01Tech | stronganoff: yeah i tried with that but it gives stop error exit error doesnt finish the install | 22:10 |
| Laptzo | lejon: yah it work i think.. | 22:10 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: you dont have the option for a text based install? | 22:10 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 - Cool, thx man. It's so frustrating that there arnet any error logs I can read | 22:10 |
| gorg_ | Telroth|Sleep: u might wanna try #kubuntu | 22:10 |
| skillet | aceinthehole, what i would do and what i always do when i install a lamp stack is install it after ubuntu is already up | 22:10 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 it is text based | 22:10 |
| danand_ | Sun01Tech - hmm... can take a while to prepare a disk (especially 320Gb!) - give it a while longer... if nothing happens try preparing your disk from a live cd first... | 22:10 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: and no errors? that is strange. | 22:10 |
| bert_ | Hi all, i just made a mistake i think. I did install xmms2 but since then my sound is gone (i removed xmms2 already and rebooted) Is there a way to restore the sound system? | 22:11 |
| Sun01Tech | danand_: ok | 22:11 |
| lejon | Laptzo, well, then you're just lost on how to configure it how to connect to a wireless network | 22:11 |
| aceinthehole | skillet - I was going to try that, but I can't even get that far | 22:11 |
| Laptzo | lejon: sec | 22:11 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 /nod | 22:11 |
| afallenhope | hey! I just came in here talkin about my SWAP increasing... how do I do it? | 22:11 |
| skillet | aceinthehole, oh i didnt know you couldnt get past that spot | 22:11 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 Skillet - it's a strange one ... I wish I had more to go on | 22:12 |
| DIL | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-lamp-server-setup.html | 22:12 |
| TuniX12 | bert_: go to volume manager and choose alsa as default server | 22:12 |
| cjk2 | afallenhope: you hardly need to | 22:12 |
| aceinthehole | skillet yeah, it's never happened before, so I tried downloading off another mirror, same results | 22:12 |
| crimsun | bert_: hmm, installing a program shouldn't wreck your sound system. Can you hear anything with `paplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav' ? | 22:12 |
| skillet | aceinthehole, well what i would do then is install with the alt cd. then once that is up and running you can install the server kernel along with the lamp stack | 22:12 |
| TuniX12 | xmms2 uses OSS server | 22:12 |
| afallenhope | cjk2: yeah. I'm running VMWare | 22:12 |
| afallenhope | cjk2: well.. Linux with VMWare emulating Windows lol. | 22:12 |
| aceinthehole | skillet that's what I was afraid of, lol, I tend to mess things up when I start apt-getting kernels ... | 22:13 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: you have installed it fine before? | 22:13 |
| w3D | good evening channel ^_^ | 22:13 |

| mehehool | hi i need help i am trying to install a belkin wireless card and i was told that i needed a winxp 64bit .inf well i finally got one but ndis says its invalid driver when i tried the 32 bit .inf it said it was valid and the device was found but i still couldnt get it to work im running 64 bit ubuntu | 22:13 |
| bert_ | kmix is my volume manager? | 22:13 |
| ajitam | Hi I got 2MB internet connection but last few day speed is around 50 do 70 Kb/s I have I feeling that something is blocking my connection. How can I see witch programs are currently runing ? | 22:13 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 oh yes, I have several servers at work running great with ubuntu, and I've had my home server running fine in the past too ... but this is a new thing | 22:13 |
| DIL | top | 22:14 |
| Sun01Tech | danand_: i didnt even want to use the entire disk for ubuntu but it doesnt let me get guide partition resizer for the disk i want to install on ...it only list the first disk so i went with guide...even i tried doing manual with ext3 and swap which i had no problems with install in the past | 22:14 |
| Slart | ajitam: netstat can check for processes using sockets | 22:14 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: try installing regular ubuntu, it should be able to do what the server does, maybe it will give you errors. if not, have you dropped it recently? | 22:14 |
| TuniX12 | ajitam: program does not block your connection | 22:14 |
| Slart | ajitam: I think there is a top like program for network stats too.. can't remember the name though | 22:15 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 dropped? | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | ajitam: Find the System Monitor on the System Menu | 22:15 |
| ajitam | TuniX12: I meent limit | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: as in falling and hitting the floor. ;) | 22:15 |
| Slart | ajitam: you can impose limits on your network connection.. but it's nothing you do "by accident" =) | 22:15 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 oh no, oh gosh no | 22:15 |
| ajitam | Flare183: I have only terminal | 22:15 |
| TuniX12 | ajitam: i doubt a problem could limit the connection | 22:15 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: lol, just kidding | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | ajitam: Then use elinks | 22:15 |
| danand_ | Sun01Tech - if you know how you want to partition the disk i would suggest using gparted on the live cd to partition and format etc before you try and install... | 22:16 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 I busted my hand up though, lol ... swinging and cursing in the air and I managed to smack the edge of the rack | 22:16 |
| Flare183 | wait a sec | 22:16 |
| bert_ | paplay gives E: client-conf-x11.c: XOpenDisplay() failed | 22:16 |
| Flare183 | ajitam: type in top on another prompt | 22:16 |
| Flare183 | prompt/terminal* | 22:16 |
| BCM43 | aceinthehole: hmm.. maybe that did it. Do you have a hard hand? | 22:16 |
| danand_ | ajitam - try netstat? | 22:16 |
| themad | hi, i've got pulseaudio installed on gusty (laptop). How can I change internal microphone to external? | 22:16 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 alright bud, I'll give the alternate a try and see how that goes. I was going to put a gui on anyhow for admin | 22:17 |
| coopster | I'm trying to remove gnome-panel from my desktop and I can't get it to work. Running `gnome-session-remove gnome-panel` just locks up the terminal I run it in (running gnome-session-remove --list also locks it up). If I remove gnome-panel from Sessions and then hit save session, the next time I log in nothing at all (neither Compiz nor avant) loads, and I have to rename ,gnome2/session to fix it, causing gnome-panel to reappear. | 22:17 |
| aceinthehole | BCM43 lol, apparently I do! It's purple but doesn't hurt.. hahhaa | 22:17 |
| coopster | Can anyone help? | 22:17 |
| BCM43 | !ask | coopster | 22:17 |
| ubottu | coopster: 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. :-) | 22:17 |
| Sun01Tech | danand_: i will try that hope it helps thanks | 22:17 |

| TuniX12 | Telroth|Sleep: even vista does not recognize it? | 22:22 |
| aceinthehole | coopster yeah the .gnome2 directory saves your sessions and preferences, so renaming it would do that. Have you put everything back to default by erasing .gnome .gnome2 .metacity .gconf and .gconfd ? | 22:22 |
| w3D | ubuntu is an alternative to toast | 22:22 |
| Slart | ajitam: what does "sudo iptables -L" print out.. just the 3 empty chains? or lots and lots of text? | 22:23 |

| [T]ank | so i am moving from 7.10 to 8.04. The problem i am running into is that when i select install from the CD, the screen just goes black and nothing else ever happens. 7.10 installs just fine. I just tried installing debian, I had to use the nofb option to overcome this same issue... how do i get past this in ubuntu 8.04 | 22:28 |
| coopster | That was always my favorite bottie feature. | 22:28 |
| [T]ank | i tried a few variations of selectiong acpi=off and such... but cant figure this out. | 22:28 |
| coopster | [T]ank: does it immediately go blank or does it show the Ubuntu splash screen? | 22:29 |
| [T]ank | no splash screen | 22:29 |

| Guest39521 | Slart: iptables -F | 22:31 |
| coopster | [T]ank: Sorry, I don't really know then. It may be worth waiting a while to see if the blank screen is just the splash screen failing to show up; I used to have that problem, but it eventually would boot into Ubuntu just fine. | 22:31 |
| Slart | Guest39521: nice.. but no point for you.. it still leaves the chain defaults intact | 22:31 |
| derspankster | Sun01Tech, installed ram times 2 | 22:31 |
| [T]ank | yeah, tried that | 22:31 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> you have the liveCD iso for 8.04? would you like to install from the hard disk? | 22:31 |
| Guest39521 | Slart: maybe after you alter the rules / iptables-save | 22:31 |
| [T]ank | amenado: no, i use the alternate cd | 22:31 |
| Wallgod | coopster, hi, i do use compiz | 22:32 |
| mysterycool | Hello. | 22:32 |
| ajitam | Slart: Does iptables become active right after startup because I noticed that connection is ok for about 5min after reboot | 22:32 |
| mysterycool | Is there a WYSIWYG editor for Linux, such as Front Page or Dreamweaver? | 22:32 |
| Guest39521 | i have a problem with a horizon monitor (22 inch model 2206SW) on ubuntu 8.04. the main ideea is that i have tried to install envy / hardy's / nvidia's / fglrx drivers and none could provide me a higher resolution than 640x480. any ideeas ? | 22:32 |
| Guest39521 | mysterycool: quanta | 22:32 |
| coopster | Wallgod: If you run `sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager` it will let you go to System -. preferences -> advanced desktop settings | 22:32 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> its okay too, you can use the alternate cd, do you have a partitions ready to install ? | 22:32 |
| Wallgod | coopster, yes i can already do that | 22:32 |
| === Guest39521 is now known as eddie_leu | ||
| asmo[B] | does anyone know why everytime I turn my external drive on (NTFS partitions) it gives me an error mounting... says that it had an unclean shutdown... | 22:33 |
| mysterycool | Guest39521: Does it handle also server scripting coding such as PHP or only HTML/CSS/Javascript? | 22:33 |
| [T]ank | amenado: yeah, will this install over debian? | 22:33 |
| lejon | eddie_leu, What graphic card you have? | 22:33 |
| loderunnah | Where do I find a list of fresh, working HTTP proxies in plain text format? Google is full of thousands and thousands of crappy sites on these search terms, so it's useless... | 22:33 |
| yesudeep2 | mysterycool: nvu | 22:33 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> i believe so, it will install | 22:33 |
| [T]ank | lets try... | 22:33 |
| yesudeep2 | mysterycool: However, I suggest staying away from them. :-) | 22:33 |
| [T]ank | im open to new things | 22:33 |
| eddie_leu | lejon: nvidia GT 8800 | 22:33 |
| coopster | Wallgod: from there you can set Extra WM Actions, and one of the options allows you to toggle windows fullscreen | 22:33 |
| yesudeep2 | mysterycool: WYOM | 22:33 |
| [T]ank | amenado: guide me | 22:33 |
| Slart | Guest42507: hmm.. worth a closer look.. there are scripts like this one, http://pikt.org/pikt/samples/reset_iptables_programs.cfg.html , but it seems like ubuntu should come with something like that for resetting the firewall rules.. perhaps some kind of dpkg-reconfigure | 22:33 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> ok lets give it a shot, prepare a partition | 22:34 |
| lejon | eddie_leu, checked ur xorg.conf and see if something is amiss with that? Otherwise you could try to reconfigure it with a command you find xorg.conf | 22:34 |
| [T]ank | /dev/sda | 22:34 |
| lejon | in xorg.conf* | 22:34 |
| Slart | ajitam: I think they are activated when you boot.. but the wondershaper rules might not kick in until a certain time after startup.. | 22:34 |
| mysterycool | yesudeep2: I am not really a fun of them but I always have problems with colors at my webs and I want to be able to have it in a more "visual" way so I could get over it. | 22:34 |

| lejon | w3D dual boot with what? | 22:35 |
| Wallgod | coopster, oh thank u so much... | 22:35 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> i suggest using a separate partition just in case things dont work well during install | 22:35 |
| w3D | Vista and Ubuntu | 22:35 |
| coopster | Wallgod: not a problem | 22:35 |
| w3D | have each OS on seperate hard drives. | 22:35 |
| [T]ank | amenado: i can just nuke it and redo 7.10 | 22:35 |
| w3D | have to enter BIOS to change each time. | 22:35 |
| [T]ank | lets just do one. | 22:35 |
| lejon | w3D install Vista first and it should be no problem, just make sure you have them on different partitions, primäry partitions too | 22:35 |
| eddie_leu | lejon: i have manually altered the xorg.conf, and increased the resolution to 800x600, but it just "overflow" my monitor... | 22:35 |
| loderunnah | Where do I find a list of fresh, working HTTP proxies in plain text format? Google is full of thousands and thousands of crappy sites on these search terms, so it's useless... | 22:35 |
| w3D | yeah, i have no issue | 22:36 |

| [T]ank | amenado: lets pm.. easier to keep track of convo. | 22:36 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> hang a few..let me find my notes | 22:36 |
| lejon | eddie_leu, try to reconfigure xorg.conf with the command in the file and see if it auto detects ur monitor | 22:36 |
| {^KinG^} | any one ? | 22:36 |
| Sun01Tech | w3D: you can setup grub from your linux drive to boot into your windows drive and ubuntu | 22:37 |
| eddie_leu | lejon: what is the command ? | 22:37 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hi, i installed Fedora 9 and couldnt get my Realtek 8111/8169 LAN Driver drivers to work, does anyone know if they would work on ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| w3D | how can i do this? im new to linux. grub is the linux boot command? | 22:37 |
| lejon | eddie_leu, Its in the xorg.conf file somewhere, let me check my own brb a few secs | 22:37 |

| kbrosnan | nano_: no | 22:38 |

| w3D | yikes | 22:38 |
| matthew_ | kbrosnan; thanks | 22:38 |
| Slart | ajitam: http://pikt.org/pikt/samples/iptables_reset_programs.cfg.html | 22:38 |
| w3D | where do i edit its values? | 22:38 |
| DIL | w3D: if your vista disk in not connected when installing ubuntu grud wont see it to do it auto otherwise you would have to manually add vista to grub | 22:38 |
| amenado | [T]ank-> okay join me in #tank1 | 22:38 |
| w3D | how do i go about doing that | 22:38 |
| nano_ | kbrosnan, thast too bad | 22:38 |
| lejon | w3D, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:38 |
| Slart | nano_: I don't think so | 22:38 |
| w3D | last time i left my vista disc in when installed mandriva on my second hdd grub fucked up vista hdd | 22:38 |
| mysterycool | I was wondering, if you use WYSIWYG programs to create a website, would the cross-browser problem (especially with IE) be solved and you won't have to do extra coding so that your website will work with IE too? I don't mean Javascript, I just mean the HTML/CSS part. | 22:39 |
| mysterycool | ? | 22:39 |
| ajhtiredwolf | w3D only way i could get it to work was to install on the same ahrddrive and unplug the secondary until after the install, vista, then linux | 22:39 |
| coopster | Cmon fellas (and ladies)! Surely someone must want to tackle the intriguing and exciting problem of making gnome-panel not load! | 22:39 |

| cary_jebus[UDCS| | kde sucks :\ | 22:42 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | I guess its a matter of taste | 22:42 |
| Slart | clintchance: download it from their website.. I think it's an installer script or something | 22:43 |

| clintchance | ok will try | 22:43 |
| Slart | clintchance: but I think there are other software available for playing realmedia too.. | 22:43 |
| TuniX12 | euh! RealPlayer still exist?, | 22:43 |
| Zaiden | one of my games only works if I type in sudo gamename in the terminal. Is there a way to create a launcher on the desktop that'll let me launch the game without using the terminal? | 22:43 |

| Industries | Is it possible to install (and boot) Ubuntu on my external USB HD on my Intel Mac mini? | 22:45 |
| hagabaka | Zaiden: do you know why it requires sudo? | 22:45 |
| tj13820 | how do i enable a driver for madwifi once i have installed the restricted modules in ubuntu server? | 22:45 |
| Industries | tj13820, isn't it already enabled? | 22:45 |
| lejon | tj13820, modprobe ath_pci | 22:45 |

| Industries | oh, ubuntu server.. | 22:45 |
| Industries | I'm of no use, sorry. | 22:45 |
| Zaiden | hagabaka: My only guess is that the game was installed to the directory /usr/local/games/gamefolder | 22:46 |
| asmo[B] | ok so I did some fooling around with trying to get my NTFS partition to mount, google'd that shit and now instead of it failing to mount, it says I don't have permission.... | 22:46 |
| tj13820 | lejon: what does that do? | 22:46 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | is there a way to make the gnome x-chat display users on a sidebar | 22:46 |
| sanjayb | asmo[B]: err.. you using sudo ? | 22:46 |
| lejon | tj13820, I dont know exactly, but as far as I know, it probes for the module called ath_pci and loads it | 22:46 |
| Slart | cary_jebus[UDCS|: I think it does | 22:46 |
| hagabaka | Zaiden: if that's the only reason you don't need to run it with sudo and shouldn't. just add the path of the program to your PATH | 22:46 |
| asmo[B] | sanjayb: yep :\ | 22:47 |
| tj13820 | well, it didn't make the interface load in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:47 |
| tj13820 | that's what i need. the module is there, but i need it to start, and be usable | 22:47 |
| sanjayb | asmo[B]: whats the command you're using to mount? | 22:47 |
| tj13820 | lejon: is that for atheros/dynex cards? | 22:47 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: the last unmount from windows failed | 22:47 |
| lejon | tj13820, its for all modules in linux as far as I know :P | 22:48 |
| tj13820 | lejon: uh... nope :-P | 22:48 |
| sanjayb | asmo[B]: ahh yes - silly me - what TuniX12 mentions is probably the case . | 22:48 |
| tj13820 | lejon: didn't load :-) | 22:48 |
| TuniX12 | ubuntu cant mount it unless yoy unmount it properly from windwos | 22:48 |
| === Pici` is now known as Pici | ||

| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: yes | 22:49 |
| asmo[B] | key word should :) | 22:49 |
| sanjayb | yes asmo[B] TuniX12, unless you force mount - which is unadvisable for important drives :-) | 22:49 |
| sanjayb | asmo[B]: whats the exact error you're getting ? | 22:49 |
| asmo[B] | yes they're very important, 300gigs of music | 22:49 |
| TuniX12 | asm DO NOT force mount | 22:49 |
| sanjayb | asmo[B]: if its from the gui, it generally tells you about the windows problem | 22:49 |
| sanjayb | asmo[B]: if it told you Permission Denied, that's a bit strange | 22:49 |
| sanjayb | yea do NOT force mount | 22:49 |
| asmo[B] | it says "you are not privileged to mount the volume" | 22:50 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: let windows unmount it | 22:50 |
| asmo[B] | ok :) | 22:50 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: it mean ntfs is marked in use | 22:50 |
| asmo[B] | Just have to get windows loaded on my laptop | 22:50 |
| sanjayb | TuniX12: err.. wouldn't it then have said 'ntfs marked in use' .. ? | 22:51 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: do a proper reboot from windwos | 22:51 |
| asmo[B] | TuniX12: thanks, I'll see if that works :) | 22:51 |
| tj13820 | lejon: oh, my god... it worked | 22:52 |
| tj13820 | lejon: :-) thank you. it needed a restart, but now it is loaded as wifi0 and ath0 | 22:52 |
| lejon | tj13820, Yeah I know, you got a atheros chipset? | 22:52 |
| tj13820 | yup | 22:52 |

| jaggy | hey, how do i copy a folder and all his contents with my terminal? | 23:02 |
| lejon | jaggy, I know cp is the copy command, use cp --help or man cp to find out how you move a directory | 23:02 |
| Luigi | jaggy: cpdir, I think | 23:02 |
| sanjayb | jaggy: cp -R foldername/ dest/in/ation/ | 23:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | lejon: me either to be truthful... madwifi requries a patch to work w/ my atheros device, so i just save the soruce and the patch w/ my backup, and implement it when i install the latest versiouns. | 23:02 |
| jaggy | ok, ty guys :) | 23:02 |

| Sun01Tech | i get this error when the live ubuntu installer copying files to hard disk {errno 5} input/output error ---- i have checked the cd and it was verified aready and the iso passed the hash test...this is a new sata hard drive..windows xp 64 installed working good in the past? | 23:08 |

| lejon | LtL, good, then ive learnt a new command for verify packages, thankies ^^ | 23:09 |
| [T]ank | my new install attempt of ubuntu 8.04 takes me to the install menu and i select install. then it goes to a quick status bar then gloes blank. what can i do to make this work? | 23:09 |
| Sun01Tech | luigi: you probably should do a recovery bootup and try to the options there | 23:09 |
| [T]ank | 7.10 worked. debian i had to do a nofb option on the install. cant make anything with ubuntu 8 work | 23:10 |
| LtL | Sun01Tech: that's not a healthy error, i'd considered re-trying the install after you re-prepare the target free space and or partition. | 23:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | [T]ank: burn again, and burn SLOW... | 23:10 |
| ubunix | please may somebody help me? somebody know there to get drivers for nvidia network controller for ubuntu? | 23:10 |
| [T]ank | IndyGunFreak the install works on other machines | 23:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | [T]ank: or try the alternate install cd, but regardless, burn the cd SLOW | 23:10 |
| Luigi | Sun01Tech: you mean the recovery mode mentioned on the GRUB menu? | 23:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | [T]ank: then use the alt. install cd | 23:10 |
| X3non | Anyone with experience in dmraid and ntfs partitions? | 23:10 |
| [T]ank | sorry. did not include all the info. this is the alternate cd | 23:10 |
| Sun01Tech | Luigi: yeah | 23:10 |
| LtL | lejon: yah, dpkg -s where 's' = status is handy and informative. | 23:10 |
| Sun01Tech | LtL: this is my 6 time trying the install | 23:11 |
| Luigi | Sun01Tech: Ok then, I'll try that next time I boot. Thanks! | 23:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sun01Tech: you should be getting pretty good at it.. :) | 23:11 |
| LtL | Sun01Tech: something isn't right.. | 23:11 |
| [T]ank | IndyGunFreak: how do i know for sure that I have the alternate cd? | 23:11 |
| [T]ank | because now i am second guessing myself | 23:11 |
| Sun01Tech | Luigi: you should try the repair packages and other option at the recovery console | 23:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | [T]ank: you probably don't | 23:11 |
| LtL | Sun01Tech: is the cd drive clean 'n healthy? | 23:12 |
| [T]ank | I remember checking the box on the download | 23:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | the alternate install cd, is a text based installer, it will have alternate-install in the iso filename | 23:12 |
| LtL | Sun01Tech: is the partition clean and healthy | 23:12 |
| [T]ank | i will just do it again. | 23:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | !alternate | [T]ank | 23:12 |

| Sun01Tech | LtL: that was what i was thinking...but i tried different cds and different partition....i tried booting up with puppy linux that works fine.....but yeah im thinking it might be the drive.....i wanted to install iso on usb drive and boot from there but | 23:14 |
| Sun01Tech | Luigi: it will be in the options when you boot to recovery | 23:14 |
| LtL | Sun01Tech: do you get a consistant i/o error? | 23:14 |

| KyleK | Flannel: thank you for using a !flag right after I say the !exact !same !thing | 23:36 |
| TuniX12 | cybertaur1: maybe your LCD screen is damaged do u have this problem under windows? | 23:36 |
| Sun01Tech | TuniX12: i think this is a bug....seems to be from what they say the forum | 23:36 |
| CH1C0 | can someone help me | 23:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | tlbs: most don't look there, this is a basic support channel 99% of the time, rarely are really complex problems tackled here | 23:37 |
| tlbs | IndyGunFreak: ah i gotcha | 23:37 |
| tj13820 | for whomever may ever say it is impossible to install a wireless card to ubuntu server, gain internet access, upate, install Gnome, and apps. IT IS NOT. it takes 2 hours of B*Sing around, but it works | 23:37 |
| cybertaur1 | TuniX12: No, it only appears when I'm playing video, and only in the video box. And I don't have this problem with Windows. Also, in VLC, when I change the preferences to OpenGL output, the lines go away, but then there are other problems | 23:37 |
| dsnyders | CH1C0, ask your question | 23:37 |
| Flannel | IndyGunFreak: I wouldn't say rarely. but its certainly not the majority | 23:37 |
| w3D | my wireless usb keeps disconnecting, whats a good wireless device to use with ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| Masterof9puppets | Can someone help me getting mp3's to play in rhythm box? | 23:37 |
| tlbs | IndyGunFreak: is there a #ubuntu-expert or anything or is that like #gentoo, lol | 23:37 |
| KyleK | Falling-Inferno: how did you install lamp? like installing the apache mysql and php parts? | 23:37 |
| afallenhope | is it safe to remove fakeroot? | 23:37 |
| bitmouse | sagredo_: how would I use lshw to see video information in conky? | 23:37 |
| miguelmmm | hola | 23:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Flannel: yeah.. rarely was an overstatement.. but i'd bet 80-85% is basic stuff | 23:37 |
| CH1C0 | Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 on ubuntu 8.04 | 23:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | tlbs: not that i know of.. | 23:37 |
| ringer | tj13820, so i cant have that with ubuntu since i am running gnome? | 23:37 |
| ringer | tj13820, okay, installing it now. | 23:37 |
| tj13820 | w3D: go to bestbuy, and grab a "Dynex" wireless card. | 23:37 |
| CH1C0 | cant connect to internet | 23:38 |
| danand_ | tlbs - #debian :D | 23:38 |
| tj13820 | ringer: yes, you can have both | 23:38 |
| w3D | dont live in america :d | 23:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | tj13820: do thsoe wireless cards work well w/ ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| tj13820 | IndyGunFreak: yes, most of the times, out of the box, and for ~20$ | 23:38 |
| asmo[B] | w3D: lucky you :P | 23:38 |
| w3D | hehe | 23:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | tj13820: yeah, i love a lot of dynex stuff, are you talking a laptop card, or a PCI card? | 23:38 |
| tj13820 | w3D: just order offline. ~20$ + shipping is still around 30$ | 23:39 |
| w3D | pci or whatever. | 23:39 |
| TuniX12 | cybertaur1: sorry i cant help | 23:39 |
| Falling-Inferno | KyleK: I used the guide from !lamp and used the tasksel bundle | 23:39 |
| tj13820 | IndyGunFreak: both. MiniPci Pci and on board | 23:39 |
| cybertaur1 | TuniX12: thanks anyways | 23:39 |
| TuniX12 | this is very strange | 23:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | tj13820: hmm, didn't know that. | 23:39 |
| TuniX12 | cybertaur1: google for it | 23:39 |
| tj13820 | IndyGunFreak: madwifi included a driver in "restricted modules" for atheros chipsets, which all dynex wireless cards utilize | 23:39 |
| KyleK | ah | 23:39 |
| Masterof9puppets | Can someone help me get rhythm box to play mp3s? | 23:40 |
| cybertaur1 | TuniX12: I did, and the only relevant result I found was the thread I started | 23:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | tj13820: hmm, i use madwifi w/ my atheros.. but it has to be patched cuz of some error detecting the card. | 23:40 |
| asmo[B] | tjl3820: dynex makes onboard wireless? | 23:40 |
| tj13820 | use "modprobe ath_pci" | 23:40 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: how did you import the mp3s? | 23:40 |
| tj13820 | asmo[B]: no, but many atheros sets are onboard ;-) | 23:40 |
| zvacet | afallenhope : yes,you don´t need it if you don´t build xour own packages or something like that | 23:40 |
| Masterof9puppets | It did it automatically, brody | 23:40 |
| TuniX12 | cybertaur1: type intel linux video problem and you'll find many results | 23:41 |
| Falling-Inferno | KyleK: I didn't do any of the Configuration though. My server worked as soon as I started it. But I lost internet after that. It says Im connected to the internet when im on ubuntu but when i go to firefox. No internet, I can't even logon to my router from this computer. Im using the Live CD and i am on the internet now so its a software problem | 23:41 |
| Sun01Tech | i gonna go buy some different brand cds and dvds and probably buy a new cdrw and hope that fixes it | 23:41 |
| asmo[B] | ah, k sounded like you meant dynex onboard | 23:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sun01Tech: buy a DVDRW.. no point limiting yourself to CDR | 23:41 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: k, so import file -then the source | 23:41 |
| afallenhope | I just want to play my danged DVD lol | 23:41 |
| KyleK | Falling-Inferno: wireless or wired? | 23:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | they are roughly the same price | 23:41 |
| Falling-Inferno | KyleK: Wired. | 23:41 |
| ringer | tj13820, okay its installed now what should i do? | 23:41 |
| brody | or did you drag and drop | 23:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sun01Tech: what kind of media are you using? | 23:41 |
| dsnyders | Does anyone know of a chat channel where I can ask some windows active directory questions? | 23:41 |
| cybertaur1 | TuniX12: ok, thanks | 23:42 |
| gnubie | CH1C0, http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/146629 ths is all I can find | 23:42 |
| brody | or did you tell it to get them from a file itself | 23:42 |
| Slart_ | dsnyders: ##windows? | 23:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | dsnyders: #windows i think | 23:42 |
| Sun01Tech | IndyGunFreak: yeah i already have one but yeah i should invest....im using tdk cdr | 23:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | !windows | dsnyders | 23:42 |
| ubottu | dsnyders: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents | 23:42 |
| CH1C0 | thank you | 23:42 |
| tj13820 | ringer: if you hit CTRl+alt+backspace, it will end your session "log you out". then when you log in, choose "KDE" under sessions | 23:42 |
| Falling-Inferno | KyleK: my brother right across the room from me has Internet and he is wired. as well as my brother who is wireless also has internet and my mom also has internet. | 23:42 |
| Masterof9puppets | brody: it doesn't work then either, a red circle will appear next to it | 23:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sun01Tech: you in the states? | 23:42 |
| Falling-Inferno | KyleK: So I know its a software problem. | 23:42 |
| Sun01Tech | IndyGunFreak: yeah | 23:42 |
| KyleK | Falling-Inferno: you could probably just manually set stuff up | 23:42 |
| clintchance | how do i get the updated version of Pidgin without downloading and installing it myself? | 23:42 |
| dsnyders | IndyGunFreak, Slart_ Thanks. [/me slaps forehead] I should have tried that first. | 23:42 |
| Slart_ | tj13820, ringer ctrl+alt+backspace isn't really a log out.. it just kills the x-system afaik.. kind of like pulling the plug | 23:43 |
| ompaul | !latest | clintchance | 23:43 |
| ubottu | clintchance: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 23:43 |
| brody | masterof9puppets yea thats means there was an error somewhere in the file transfer | 23:43 |
| brody | are the files encrypted | 23:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sun01Tech: tigerdirect.com and newegg.com have lite-on dvdr's.. usually pretty cheap, eve w/ shipping.. lite-on is all i use, rarely have had a problem | 23:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | dsnyders: :) | 23:43 |
| Masterof9puppets | nope, every single file i have wont play | 23:43 |
| clintchance | ompaul, the latest version has support for GMail and myspace im and i really want them | 23:43 |
| tj13820 | Slart_: yes, but you must do so, or restart to enable KDE to attach to X witout error | 23:43 |
| Falling-Inferno | KyleK: I might just install Ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive that i installed 2 days ago then when i get everything setup I can just take the files of THIS ubuntu install that I want to keep. | 23:43 |
| Sun01Tech | IndyGunFreak: thanks i will buy one then | 23:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | clintchance: its very easy to compile from source. | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | IndyGunFreak: I concur | 23:44 |
| brody | masterof9puppets - and that includes WAv's and other file types? or just mp3's? | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | lite-on does seem to be the way to go | 23:44 |
| ompaul | !compile | clintchance | 23:44 |
| ubottu | clintchance: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 23:44 |
| clintchance | IndyGunFreak so i do download the "source' ? | 23:44 |
| tj13820 | ringer: well? | 23:44 |
| brody | masterof9puppets - where did you get the files from? | 23:44 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | juist wondering | 23:44 |
| Masterof9puppets | brody: just mp3's | 23:44 |
| Slart_ | tj13820: I won't argue with that... just don't say it's the same as a logout =) | 23:44 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | is there any porn linux programs :P | 23:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | clintchance: yeah.. type this w/o quotes "/join #indygunfreak" and i'll takl you through compiling it real quick. | 23:44 |
| clintchance | IndyGunFreak i can compile.... sudo make and sudo make install then sudo make uninstall | 23:45 |
| soldats | cary_jebus[UDCS|: thats not appropriate | 23:45 |
| tj13820 | Slart_: lol, i just try to make it easier to understand. and i did put *log you out* in quotes | 23:45 |
| afallenhope | I've done what I needed to and I still can't play them in Totem | 23:45 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | ok sorry | 23:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | clintchance: as long as you have all the dependencies resolved, it should be that easy | 23:45 |
| KyleK | bahahaha | 23:45 |
| ompaul | clintchance, note that the "latest" is most likely going to be depending on a whole lot of stuff that will break if you wait 4 months you should be better off and it will be in a "stable release" atm it is alpha | 23:45 |
| afallenhope | !dvd | 23:45 |
| 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 | 23:45 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : you need w32 or w64 codecs from medibuntu repo | 23:45 |
| ompaul | IndyGunFreak, something from gnome that is not in the release version ..... think carefully :) | 23:46 |
| Slart_ | tj13820: indeed you did =) | 23:46 |
| ma1 | how do i convert .wma to mp3 ? | 23:46 |
| brody | masterof9puppets - so where did you get the mp3's from | 23:46 |
| * clintchance sits in his rocker and wait for the Pidgin Group to get a move on | 23:46 | |
| Slart_ | ma1: mencoder might do it | 23:46 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : if you want to play mp3 in rhythmbox | 23:46 |
| Masterof9puppets | My iPod | 23:46 |
| asmo[B] | TuniX12: I tried properly unmounting my external drive in windows and tried it again in ubuntu and still get the same error... "You are not privileged to mount the volume" | 23:46 |
| Masterof9puppets | Where would I get that zvacet? | 23:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | ompaul: lol, i usually run into dependency probs compiling it.. almost always actually | 23:46 |
| soldats | asmo[B]: use sudo | 23:46 |
| ajhtiredwolf_ | Hey, i noticed that wine isnt under add remove programs in ubuntu. Do you have to install it manually? | 23:46 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets I mean were they from Itunes? | 23:47 |
| Masterof9puppets | ajhtiredwolf, it is there | 23:47 |
| soldats | ajhtiredwolf_: check in synaptics | 23:47 |
| clintchance | ajhtiredwolf_ make sure you selecting the entire app field | 23:47 |
| Masterof9puppets | No, they were from cd's | 23:47 |
| Slart_ | ajhtiredwolf_: sudo apt-get install wine in a terminal will do it | 23:47 |
| clintchance | ajhtiredwolf_ and not just supported programs | 23:47 |
| tj13820 | ajhtiredwolf_: use synaptics or "sudo apt-get remove wine" | 23:47 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 23:47 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | hold on | 23:47 |
| Masterof9puppets | Thanks zvacet | 23:48 |
| cary_jebus[UDCS| | who on earth would remove wine | 23:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf_ | clintchance: ahh there it is, is it not very stable since it is not under supported? | 23:48 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : np | 23:48 |
| BluntObject | ma1: You can use lame to convert .wma to .mp3 | 23:48 |
| clintchance | ajhtiredwolf_ I dont really know why they do that because it is supported in some way | 23:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf_ | clintchance: k, thank you | 23:49 |
| clintchance | ajhtiredwolf_ :) | 23:49 |
| tj13820 | is intrepid released yet? | 23:49 |
| Slart_ | !intrepid | 23:49 |
| ubottu | Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex | Warning lots of breaking software and other good stuff between now and October! | 23:49 |

| clintchance | Hey would you guys spring for cedega?is it really that much better? | 23:49 |
| rsk | not really | 23:50 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: you can also try installing a file converter and then changing the files into ogg. . . unless you want to keep them mp3 | 23:50 |
| zvacet | ma1 :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731932&highlight=audio+convert #7 | 23:50 |
| tj13820 | lol | 23:50 |
| Slart_ | !lol | tj13820 | 23:50 |
| clintchance | rsk, does it run anyprograms that wine wont? | 23:50 |
| ubottu | tj13820: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 23:50 |
| Masterof9puppets | brody: I need to keep them in mp3 | 23:50 |
| tj13820 | "warning - don't use on production equipment" should be there for those who don't have common sense | 23:51 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: but even if you installed a file converter, you can still try converting them into mp3's, because sometimes for some reason converting an mp3 to an mp3 will work | 23:51 |
| tj13820 | ...Slart_... one time is not that bad, if you are counting it outside of sentences | 23:51 |
| clintchance | Slart_ omg whats the problem with using them | 23:51 |
| tj13820 | lollmaolmfaoroflmfao | 23:51 |
| tj13820 | :-) | 23:51 |
| clintchance | slart_ i dont know anyone who hates them except maby you | 23:52 |
| Slart_ | clintchance: I think the difference between wine and cedega is mostly in the packaging.. cedega used to be better with.. directx I think | 23:52 |
| Masterof9puppets | zvacet: Still, none of these work | 23:52 |
| asmo[B] | figured out the problem | 23:52 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: add/remove programs - Sound Converter - this one works well | 23:52 |
| clintchance | Slart_ keyword Used..... They dont anymore? | 23:52 |
| afallenhope | is there a way of making my /media/Nirvana go to /dev/dvd ? | 23:52 |
| asmo[B] | finally can access my NTFS partitions (Y) | 23:52 |
| tj13820 | afallenhope: mount /dev/dvd /media/Nirvana | 23:53 |
| Slart_ | clintchance: I'm not sure.. it's been a while since I tried cedega.. long while actually | 23:53 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: but you need certain codecs in order to switch to mp3's | 23:53 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: you should test your disk I/O errors are usually hardware errors or u have bad magic number in super-block | 23:53 |
| afallenhope | tj13820: I think you have that backward | 23:53 |
| clintchance | Slart_, Guess im not buying :P | 23:53 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : do you have lame installed | 23:53 |
| Slart_ | clintchance: but check out the cedega site.. they will probably give you lots and lots of reasons to pay for it =) | 23:53 |
| tj13820 | afallenhope: no, it's that way. you don't put the folder in the device, you put the decvice in the folder | 23:54 |
| afallenhope | well.. I'mm trying to play my DVD and it won't | 23:54 |
| clintchance | Slart_, Although i can probrubly get it from my neighbor... | 23:54 |
| Masterof9puppets | Whats lame zvacet? | 23:54 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : and did you installed w32/64 codecs with synaptic | 23:54 |
| asmo[B] | TuniX12: I think the actual problem was just the name of the actual drives, I renamed them in windows and they mounted with no problems | 23:54 |
| afallenhope | I installed all the things I need to | 23:54 |
| brody | Masterof9puppets: they are easy to download, all you do is in the sound converter go to edit then preferences then download codecs for MP3's | 23:54 |
| gordonjcp | when is adblock going to be available for ff3? | 23:54 |
| tj13820 | afallenhope: sudo mkdir /media/Nirvana | 23:54 |
| === Peter-_ is now known as Peter- | ||
| gordonjcp | or, is there a way to stop Hardy getting so upset about ff2? | 23:55 |
| Slart_ | clintchance: your choice.. you can come back and let us know if it is worth the money or not | 23:55 |
| === Peter- is now known as Childi | ||
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : package you will find it in synaptic or from terminal sudo apt-get install lame | 23:55 |
| tj13820 | afallenhope: sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/Nirvana | 23:55 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: ok problem solved? | 23:55 |
| clintchance | before i log off anyone know of anyprogram that will force my laptop to cool down a bit like maby blast the fans a couple of secods? Its really starting to burnmy legs | 23:55 |
| asmo[B] | yes sir, works like a charm now :) | 23:55 |
| Slart_ | gordonjcp: adblock plus is available.. or you mean the original adblock? | 23:55 |
| afallenhope | tj13820: it's already mounted. I get: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument | 23:55 |
| tj13820 | clintchance: cooling fan from targus :-) | 23:56 |
| === bubbles_ is now known as justsomeone | ||
| gordonjcp | Slart_: preferably the original adblock, adblock plus I just don't get on with | 23:56 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: :D good | 23:56 |
| gordonjcp | Slart_: adblock plus breaks too many sites I use, and adding filters is unnecessarily obtuse | 23:56 |
| tj13820 | afallenhope: restart. you mounted it, now restart and it should automount to that folder. or let you mount it with that command | 23:56 |
| Slart_ | clintchance: some motherboards let you control the fans.. others don't... depends on the hardware I guess.. | 23:56 |
| clintchance | Slart_, what could i use to control them i it was supported | 23:56 |
| tj13820 | Slart_: it depends on the BIOS | 23:57 |
| Slart_ | gordonjcp: hmm.. haven't used the original adblock in a year or so.. think I've forgotten what it was like | 23:57 |
| Masterof9puppets | zvacet: I installed it, still nothing works | 23:57 |
| [T]ank | cp -R | 23:57 |
| === martyn is now known as Guest10562 | ||
| tj13820 | Slart_: the hardware can change voltages etc. but the bios doesn't have it implemented | 23:57 |

| afallenhope | tj13820: it's automatically there,,, I'm syaing it wont PLAY.. I get: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument | 23:57 |
| tj13820 | hmm | 23:57 |
| asmo[B] | opinions on the best app for music? | 23:57 |
| clintchance | tj13820, i dont think my bios has the health thing on it | 23:58 |
| afallenhope | I'm playing it in: "totem: with the restricted codecs" | 23:58 |
| TuniX12 | amarok | 23:58 |
| zvacet | Masterof9puppets : can you play mp3 in any other player | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | !best | asmo[B] | 23:58 |
| ubottu | asmo[B]: 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. | 23:58 |
| tj13820 | afallenhope: look on google for "ubuntu dvd Failed to connect to stream: invalid arguement" | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | asmo[B]: what do you even mean "music"? | 23:58 |
| Slart_ | clintchance: search in synaptic.. I know nvidia has a utility to control the fans on their graphics cards.. haven't really looked for anything to control a motherboard fan though | 23:58 |
| Masterof9puppets | Nope zvacet | 23:58 |
| clintchance | Slart_, thanks will do | 23:58 |
| asmo[B] | gordonjcp: my bad | 23:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | gordonjcp: except in the case of VLC.. vlc is best at everything.. :) | 23:58 |
| TuniX12 | asmo[B]: try amarok it's great | 23:58 |
| tj13820 | clintchance: you probably don't have a mechanism in your bios to conrtol ACPI. an app may be available to do so. | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | asmo[B]: do you mean creating music, or listening, or scoring sheet music, or what? ;-) | 23:59 |
| Coyote` | hi there, anyone knows a way to brodcast what i'm actually listening ? like shoucats for winamp ? | 23:59 |
| gordonjcp | Coyote`: icecast? | 23:59 |
| asmo[B] | listening to music | 23:59 |
| asmo[B] | the last time I used ubuntu I used amarok | 23:59 |
