| shamguy4 | so... no one wants to help | 00:48 |
| Lynet | Freman: Found this thread on kernel devel list: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/9/136 Not sure if it will be helpful though. | 00:48 |
| Lynet | Freman: Same chip, same error as far as I can see. | 00:48 |
| jrib | clash: yes, we are all part of the no trash-icon event sound for clash conspiracy... more likely, we just don't know how to fix your issue :) | 00:48 |
| jrib | shamguy4: you need to ask a better question. State the actual problem in detail on one line | 00:49 |
| shamguy4 | i want to get compiz to work. I dont know why but when i press the cube or any settings under the advanced desktop settings they dont work | 00:50 |
| dmsuperman_ | shamguy4, /j #compiz | 00:50 |
| dmsuperman_ | when there are people there they are usually wonderful help for compiz issues | 00:51 |
| jrib | shamguy4: if you get an error, you should say the error, instead of just "don't work" | 00:51 |
| clash | jrib: ^^ i see... i don't know why there is no system-preferences-sound event for it. it is a must :-) | 00:51 |
| Dillizar | shamguy4: control+alt hold them and then the left mouse button | 00:51 |
| shiv1285 | Dillizar: Are you there? | 00:52 |
| Dillizar | :D | 00:52 |
| shiv1285 | The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 00:52 |
| shiv1285 | You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. | 00:52 |
| Dillizar | shiv1285: yes | 00:52 |
| shiv1285 | Dillizar:This is the message i get when i double click on the Volume control | 00:53 |

| IndyGunFreak | lakis1982: i might be over thinking it, but how about system/pref/power managemnt? | 01:03 |
| lakis1982 | where is this ? | 01:04 |
| lakis1982 | i have kde 3.5.9 | 01:04 |
| leeping2008 | I know a few specifics about my problem, but I'll save my breath until someone's interested in talking about the problem :) | 01:04 |
| massmc | lakis1982, system/preferences/screen saver/power management | 01:04 |
| Dillizar | shiv1285: now i really dont know ask again for some one else cuz here is 02.30 and a have a exam tomorrow ask for some command to update your sound card drivers or smt i am really sorry see ya | 01:04 |
| kitche | leeping2008: : accept the key for the host :) | 01:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | lakis1982: well, i consider KDE an eyesore, so i really coudln't tell you in KDE.. ask in #kubuntu | 01:04 |
| shiv1285 | Dillizar: no problem!!! Thank you so much for your help | 01:04 |
| Dillizar | see ya | 01:04 |
| kjs_ | Is it possible to resize a windows partition and install Ubuntu using the Alt CD? Or will i need the GUI LiveCD version ? | 01:04 |
| lakis1982 | in the power saving tab , there only appears one setting .. its the setting for the monitor to turn off after some minutes | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | kjs_: of course it is. | 01:05 |
| leeping2008 | kitche, that's what I've been doing. However, openSSH seems to connect on a different port each time I log in - this is a consequence of the queue software that my Beowulf cluster uses | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | kjs_: you just need to be comfortable resizing using text, rather than a GUI | 01:05 |
| RabidWeezle | kjs_, you can resize with the alt cd I thought | 01:05 |
| shiv1285 | Dillizar: Good luck for your exam | 01:05 |
| leeping2008 | And a different port seems to result in a different key being generated (which ironically wasn't a problem until the OpenSSH security update!) | 01:05 |
| RabidWeezle | kjs_, if you need a gui, look up the gparted live cd and use that | 01:05 |
| kitche | leeping2008: openssh generates one key per host | 01:06 |
| kjs_ | ok kool im fine without a gui just checking it was possible, guess i should defrag the windows vista partition first? | 01:06 |
| * IndyGunFreak loves Partedmagic Live.. I use it before using Alternate install CD's | 01:06 | |
| kjs_ | na i dont need a gui. | 01:06 |
| RabidWeezle | the gparted live cd will let you make and move your partitions and stuff, then you boot your ubuntu cd and voila | 01:06 |
| NickGarvey | ah yup that's what I do | 01:06 |
| NickGarvey | gparted all the way | 01:06 |
| RabidWeezle | hooah | 01:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | kjs_: then if you don't need a GUI, its a piece of cake really, you justneed to know how many mb you want to set your ntfs partition to, resize it, then set the rest of it up for linux | 01:07 |
| RabidWeezle | I used it to shrink my windows partition on this machine down to 80 megs | 01:07 |
| kjs_ | 80mb ??? | 01:07 |
| leeping2008 | kitche, what I'm seeing seems to contradict this because I'm connecting on a different port each time. I'm looking for a way to configure my openSSH login so that it will automatically answer "yes" to this question whenever it is asked | 01:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | 80mb?..lol, whats on that partition?.. dos 6.2? | 01:07 |
| kjs_ | ahhaha | 01:07 |
| RabidWeezle | lol | 01:07 |
| RabidWeezle | nothing really | 01:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | RabidWeezle: obviously, windows isn't even there..lol | 01:07 |
| kjs_ | vista is about 8gb now i think. | 01:07 |
| RabidWeezle | I had to keep it though to keep it from messing up grub | 01:07 |
| RabidWeezle | so I shrunk it as far as I could | 01:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | RabidWeezle: grub will install fine w/o windows. | 01:08 |
| RabidWeezle | which the smallest size I could make it was 80 megs | 01:08 |
| shamguy4 | ok so I tried starting compiz and i get a tiny message that says " Checking for Xgl: not present. | 01:08 |
| shamguy4 | Found laptop using ati driver. | 01:08 |
| shamguy4 | aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity " | 01:08 |
| kjs_ | its awfull only reason i keep it on there is for when a client calls and i need to talk them over the phone whow to do some thing in vista. | 01:08 |
| RabidWeezle | yeah, I had windows installed when I installed ubuntu | 01:08 |
| RabidWeezle | then I decided to take it off | 01:08 |

| Starnestommy | warriorforgod: what issue? | 01:26 |
| oli__ | Hi | 01:27 |
| warriorforgod | Starnestommy: There was an issue in 7.10 where it was constantly polling hard drives and decreasing the lifespan. | 01:27 |

| Storrgie | kitche: but will it address all 4? or just 3.4-3.6 | 01:30 |
| kitche | Storrgie: from me knowledge anything higher then 4gb you need PAE support | 01:30 |

| kjs_ | javier: have you install a diff graphics driver lately? | 01:35 |
| kjs_ | have you checked the xorg conf also? | 01:35 |
| javier | kjs_, i dont know | 01:35 |

| ParkerW | Hey guys | 01:36 |
| s0bi | ;-0 | 01:36 |
| ParkerW | Is it possible to turn a Jump Drive into a Keycard? Like so that my computer cannot log in without it? | 01:36 |
| leachim6 | How the heck do I get this policykit crap off of my hardy | 01:36 |
| leachim6 | I want it gone ... all of it | 01:36 |
| javier | kjs_, the login screen is as small as the top pannel but squared, all arround | 01:37 |
| olibj | Hi all | 01:37 |
| kjs_ | javier: have you rebooted it? | 01:37 |
| kjs_ | and done a recent update? | 01:37 |
| ParkerW | No one know? | 01:37 |
| leachim6 | you know what ... it's not policykit's fault ... I'm sure policykit is a fine bit of software ... but whoever configured it was high on crack or something because it doesn't make sense | 01:38 |
| kjs_ | hhaaha | 01:38 |
| ParkerW | !policykit | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Factoid policykit not found | 01:38 |
| iwkse | leachim6, thanks for the hint.. | 01:38 |
| _Net | ParkerW: Im interested in your question too, I hope you find an answer | 01:38 |
| kjs_ | configuring software on crack is awsome. | 01:38 |
| ParkerW | _Net I am sure it can be done, I think it's just a matter of finding some software. | 01:39 |
| ParkerW | However, may Google searches have turned up all the wrong answers. | 01:39 |
| leachim6 | so how long has this crap been going on | 01:39 |
| olibj | Hi all I am relatively new to ubuntu and I have a small problem (literally) ..the letters on my login screen are really small anyone know how I can fix that ? | 01:39 |
| leachim6 | I'm sure you guys are getting tired of hearing about Policykit huh | 01:39 |
| _Net | Ya, it seems like a difficult topic too. | 01:39 |
| ParkerW | leachim6: What is Policykit? | 01:40 |
| leachim6 | ParkerW, it's a POS piece of software that was shoved into hardy and not configured | 01:41 |
| olibj | Has anyone else experienced that ? | 01:41 |
| ParkerW | No, what does it do. | 01:41 |
| leachim6 | It's SUPPOSED to enforce policies for certain users | 01:42 |
| leachim6 | kind of like permissions | 01:42 |
| leachim6 | to say which users can do what | 01:42 |
| leachim6 | 'cept it's totally out of whack in hardy so you can't edit users or groups | 01:42 |
| leachim6 | users-admin doesn't work at all in hardy | 01:42 |
| albuntu | javascript in firefox is not working for me. can anyone help ? | 01:42 |
| leachim6 | can anyone else get users-admin to work on hardy ? | 01:42 |
| leachim6 | albuntu, update firefox | 01:42 |
| albuntu | leachim6 just did it | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | albuntu, Do you have it disabled? | 01:43 |
| albuntu | its not working after that | 01:43 |
| leachim6 | hmm... | 01:43 |
| ParkerW | Perhaps you should just stick with what is, and not try to change imperitive components. | 01:43 |
| jrib | leachim6: it works fine here. What exactly is the issue you are having? | 01:43 |
| albuntu | Jordan_U how can i check it | 01:43 |
| leachim6 | all the buttons are grayed out | 01:43 |
| leachim6 | including the unlock button | 01:43 |
| shiv1285 | Hello Everybody | 01:43 |
| jrib | leachim6: how are you running it? | 01:43 |
| leachim6 | sudo users-admin | 01:43 |
| jrib | leachim6: don't use sudo | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | albuntu, edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Enable javascript | 01:44 |
| leachim6 | I tried it without also | 01:44 |
| leachim6 | same luck | 01:44 |
| shiv1285 | Can anyone help me and tell me how do i boot the system with Kernel 2.6.24.11 | 01:44 |
| albuntu | Jordan_U its active | 01:44 |
| jrib | !who | leachim6 | 01:44 |
| ubottu | leachim6: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:44 |
| leachim6 | sorry | 01:44 |
| shiv1285 | Or change the kernel 2.6.24-11 | 01:44 |
| ParkerW | Does anyone know if it's possible to Have a USB Flash Drive with an ever changing crypto key to loggin? | 01:44 |
| jrib | leachim6: run it from your menu | 01:45 |
| leachim6 | jrib, I tried without sudo also and it doesn't work either ... everything is still grayed out | 01:45 |
| albuntu | ok i just reinstalled it and everything is fine now | 01:45 |
| leachim6 | I use openbox ... there is no menu ... and how would that change anything | 01:45 |
| iwkse | shiv1285, on boot press Esc and select the kernel you want | 01:45 |
| leachim6 | I'll just run gnome-panel then | 01:45 |
| shiv1285 | ok let me try | 01:45 |
| shiv1285 | iwkse: Thanks | 01:45 |
| leachim6 | same thing | 01:45 |
| leachim6 | everything is still grayed out | 01:45 |

| elTigre | Hi ... I'd like to create an application that is easy to repackage.... | 01:46 |
| elTigre | where do the media files go? | 01:46 |
| leachim6 | jrib, the menu didn't work either ? | 01:46 |
| leachim6 | that wasn't a question... | 01:46 |
| iwkse | olibj, you have to edit the gdm desktop xml configuration file | 01:46 |
| ParkerW | No idea? | 01:47 |
| elTigre | sorry wrong channel | 01:47 |
| Mr_Cheeto | i'm new to linux, how do i install/find drivers? | 01:47 |
| olibj | Thanks iwkse | 01:47 |
| leachim6 | iwkse, no you don't ... just type sudo gdmsetup | 01:47 |
| ParkerW | Bloody Hell, some of you claim to work for DOD | 01:47 |
| jrib | leachim6: run it from a regular terminal (not as root) without sudo and pastebin the output you get | 01:47 |
| iwkse | leachim6, gdmsetup doesn't let you to change fonts | 01:47 |
| leachim6 | alright | 01:47 |
| NickGarvey | Mr_Cheeto: most drivers are built right in, having difficulties with one in particular? | 01:47 |
| leachim6 | Ohh | 01:47 |
| jameslr | ParkerW: they would tell you but they'd have to shoot you | 01:47 |
| nickrud | Mr_Cheeto nearly every driver you might need is already in the kernel | 01:47 |
| leachim6 | ** (users-admin:7948): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '7948' | 01:47 |
| leachim6 | I googled it ... and it led to an unresolved bug on launchpad | 01:48 |
| Mr_Cheeto | ok but i want to update one, it's my Realtek RTL8139 ethernet card | 01:48 |
| jameslr | if your RTL8139 isn't working then it's the card...not the driver | 01:48 |
| jameslr | that's the most generic driver known to man | 01:48 |
| leachim6 | jrib, ** (users-admin:7948): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '7948' | 01:48 |
| Mr_Cheeto | -.- it is not my card, it is in fine condition | 01:49 |

| jrib | leachim6: do you have gnome on this machine? Can you see if it happens there? | 01:49 |
| darthanubis | !sound | q_ | 01:49 |
| SiegeX | my work gave me a laptop that according to dell could either come with WXGA or WXGA+ capabilities. Is there a tool that I can run that might tell me if mine supports WXGA+ (1440x900)? Or is the only way to alter Xorg.conf and set "1440x900" as the first option and restart X? | 01:49 |
| ubottu | q_: 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 | 01:49 |
| jameslr | q_: try sudo apt-cache search esound | 01:50 |
| darthanubis | please | 01:50 |
| leachim6 | jrib, yeah , I just ran it from gnome-panel | 01:50 |
| Mr_Cheeto | i tried the Wake-On-Lan, are there other ways to kick start it? | 01:50 |
| q_ | ok | 01:50 |

| Mr_Cheeto | and my network works fine for short bursts, how do u explain that? | 01:50 |

| leachim6 | jrib, how would that change a single thing ? | 01:52 |
| Mr_Cheeto | why would my network revert to default settings every minute? | 01:53 |
| Mr_Cheeto | is there a way to lock down my settings so they can't move? | 01:53 |
| jrib | leachim6: ugh, good luck with your issue | 01:53 |
| leachim6 | jrib, I'm just curious ... I wasn't trying to be ungrateful ... | 01:53 |
| leachim6 | jrib, I'm just saying | 01:53 |

| Mr_Cheeto | jameslr, yes, and it works fine for a bit but then it just reverts back on its own | 01:54 |
| Mr_Cheeto | i do reset in konsole and it makes no difference | 01:54 |
| Mr_Cheeto | restart* | 01:54 |
| jrib | leachim6: I can't recreate what you are experiencing here on GNOME. So I want to know if it is because of some setup that GNOME does or if it is something else | 01:54 |
| Mr_Cheeto | what is Passive mode? should that be disabled or enabled? | 01:55 |
| Renegatu | any admin here? | 01:55 |

| iwkse | X-tremAl_Raven, thanks for the link, i wonder if it's possible to rebuild the db with dpkg-reconfigure | 02:06 |
| SiegeX | im not on my laptop now but I think i may have done that. But dont you activate all the goodies with keyboard shortcuts? | 02:06 |
| gaintsura | SiegeX: no | 02:06 |
| gaintsura | SiegeX: click the main menu, go to system tools, there should be fusion-icon there | 02:07 |
| gaintsura | run that, it will place it in your systray, right click and configure | 02:07 |
| iwkse | X-tremAl_Raven, you can try that $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data | 02:07 |
| olibj | iwkse Thanks alot worked like a charm :) | 02:07 |
| SiegeX | ahh, i dont think i installed that then. How would one do that from the CLI? apt-get --install fusion ? | 02:07 |
| === root1 is now known as fox | ||

| iwkse | olibj, :) | 02:08 |

| SiegeX | ya, i have to say im very impressed with its out of the box performance. Ive been using linux for 9 years and ive always only used it for server/firewall type roles, I never thought it was really good enough to be a desktop OS | 02:09 |
| SiegeX | but 8.04 def changed my mind on that. | 02:09 |
| olibj | I only have one more problem My 5.1 sound isn't working...This is the last thing I need to fix before I change completely to ubuntu anyone know what might be the problem ? | 02:09 |
| TurlteUrtle_ | how yall doing? | 02:09 |
| _stony | TurlteUrtle: great... you? | 02:10 |
| TurlteUrtle_ | pretty good | 02:10 |
| olibj | surround was muted by default and I turned it up but it still isn't working | 02:10 |

| kwyjibo | i don't want to enable them. they are already enabled | 03:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kwyjibo That link may have something helpfu; | 03:13 |
| darkdelusions | Leefmc: you will need to walk them threw partition the drive | 03:14 |
| Fran89 | clam is in the ubuntu repo | 03:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kwyjibo YOu would think if you had instructions on enabling them .. you could figure out how to disable them | 03:14 |
| Leefmc | darkdelusions: Kind of funny ubuntu doesn't have an auto for /home. Its a pretty common, and practical, choice. :) | 03:14 |
| Fran89 | Add/remove should install it but you need to be root to update | 03:14 |
| Leefmc | darkdelusions: But anyway, thank you | 03:14 |

| _Net | Im installing ubuntu, resizing a partition for ubuntu and it says "Please wait.. resizing partition" for..the past 10mins..is that normal? and the progress is still at 0% | 03:22 |
| Bizzeh | sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql definatly works, this is the EXACT command i used earlier | 03:22 |
| Starnestommy | IWantMoreCowBell: close any other open package managers | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlakStone Is the version from our repos or one you downloaded yourself | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IWantMoreCowBell close down any other updater package manager | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Net resizing a partition can take a very very long time | 03:23 |
| Bizzeh | it depends on alot of things though | 03:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Net partly depends on how full it is | 03:24 |

| Grogs | I'm trying to set the mount points from my NTFS partitioned drives, but most of them don't have volume labels, how can I determine which partition is which? | 03:26 |
| _Net | Yea. I extended its capacity to 100gb. | 03:26 |
| Grogs | Based on identifiers such as "sde1", "sdb1" | 03:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grogs create descriptive mount points and mount them. look in them | 03:27 |
| Grogs | ok, how can I change the mount points later? | 03:27 |
| darthanubis | iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE < I need that to stick after reboot | 03:27 |

| magic_ninja | !kubuntu | sebastien | 03:28 |
| ubottu | sebastien: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 03:28 |
| Grogs | Bizzeh, defrag it, system files may be towards end of partition, some defragmentation apps may be able to move those too. | 03:28 |
| Grogs | I don't know what fstab is. | 03:28 |
| amenado | darthanubis-> you try to add that to your interfaces file preceeded by post-up | 03:29 |
| sebastien_ | I know but there's nobody on the channel Kubuntu | 03:29 |
| Grogs | I see you can mount them temperarly from the file browser | 03:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grogs sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-sde1 sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/ntfs-sde1 | 03:29 |
| Bizzeh | Grogs: i know, i have done this a billion times before, i even explained this just before i mentioned my situation | 03:29 |
| Bizzeh | _Net: same here, its just the PITA of using a computer | 03:29 |
| Grogs | but that labels volumes by their capacity, not "sdd1" etc. | 03:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sebastien_ /join #compiz | 03:29 |

| Grogs | don't do it via ntfs-config? | 03:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grogs you can add it to fstab to have it mount on boot | 03:31 |

| blue0010 | Hi. I moved my web site to a fresh install of Hardy about 3 weeks ago. Tonight for the second time the server has stopped responding to all network traffic. No SSH, no pings, no web. Last time this happened, I restarted networking and everything came back to normal. I can do that now, but I want to figure out why this is happening. For the record, this is not my first Ubuntu web server, and I've never had this problem before. Can anyone give me some suggest | 03:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grogs you cant edit your fstab until you know what partitions have what info/data// unless you have already done that | 03:33 |
| Zozma | okay | 03:33 |
| Grogs | yeah, doing that | 03:33 |
| Zozma | when i type shift+backspace it kills X a'la control+alt+backspace | 03:33 |

| Izinucs | What do I use to burn an avi or mpg video file to dvd for playback on a standard dvd machine? | 04:31 |
| leachim6 | that's what I did | 04:31 |
| Flannel | zim_: Which CD do you have? | 04:31 |
| leachim6 | I actually set apache to run as me | 04:31 |

| zim_ | ordered it from osdisc.com | 04:33 |
| leachim6 | yeah ... but you have to enter my rediculous unguessable 16 character password | 04:33 |
| Flannel | zim_: It boots to a live CD? | 04:33 |
| zim_ | it does boot | 04:33 |
| nickrud | IWantMoreCowBell https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions would probably be good reading at this point, it explains about permissions and a bit about users. | 04:34 |

| Leefmc | Question: Anyone familiar with what IMWheel can do? I am trying to make a button hold down a modifier key, but it does not seem to be working. For example, i can make a button insert "Shift_L|L" which inserts a capitol "L", but i am unable to make a modifier for "Shift_L" to be constant, so i can type "L" | 04:34 |
| leachim6 | sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin :) | 04:34 |
| nickrud | IWantMoreCowBell sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin mysql-server-5.0 , you'll find phpmyadmin at http://localhost/phpmyadmin | 04:34 |
| Flannel | zim_: Try doing the "install" option instead of the boot to a live environment option at the boot menu | 04:35 |
| leachim6 | HOWEVER | 04:35 |
| leachim6 | you will get an error | 04:35 |
| _Net | IWantMoreCowBell: Why dont you just install lampp? its sooo much easier. Comes with apache/php/phpmyadmin/mysql/mercury mail/filezilla | 04:35 |

| zim_ | either way thats what i get | 04:35 |
| leachim6 | _Net: don't use that | 04:35 |

| pgreptom | nickrud, I looked at those. Argh. I'm still having problems with "SuperL" - gnome's keybindings do NOT like the super key. | 04:48 |
| genii | lainy: May help to know some things: dialup modem? wired network adapter? wireless network adapter? Does ubuntu see your network adapter already? Do you know what it might be called? etc | 04:48 |
| nickrud | pgreptom I've just been using <Super> for a long time now, Works for Me™ | 04:48 |
| amenado | frederick85-> try this gksu displayconfig-gtk and select accordingly | 04:48 |
| pgreptom | nickrud, Did you map them via "Keyboard Shortcuts" ? | 04:48 |
| lainy | genii: wireless. when i do someting like sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <interface> i can see it in iwlist scan | 04:48 |
| pgreptom | Do your bindings look like <Super>Right | 04:48 |
| nickrud | pgreptom no, in gconf-editor, like you said. I have some <Super>'s set to run apps with particular settings, etc | 04:49 |

| lainy | genii: but network manager doesn't detect anything.. so i was wondering if i could connect via command line? | 04:49 |
| genii | lainy: Good. Does your router or modem hand out ip addresses and do the authentication part of the isp login or for instance in windows are you using some pppoe client or other such thing? | 04:50 |

| genii | lainy: All entries in there should be ideally set to auto | 04:54 |
| frederick85 | what's quickest way to exit X when required on ubuntu | 04:54 |
| genii | lainy: man interfaces gives you some examples | 04:54 |
| amenado | noctemx0r-> you create the rules | 04:55 |
| nickrud | chronographer not sure, I was expecting something from the tcl/tk stuff. Might be wrong with those | 04:55 |
| Dianora | sup? | 04:55 |
| lainy | genii: Should I input my hex key in that interfaces file? | 04:55 |
| noctemx0r | amenado: does that mean there is no configuration file in /etc? | 04:55 |
| chronographer | hmm. i installed tcl and tk and tcl-dev and tk-dev and stuff... | 04:55 |

| Starnestommy | IWantMoreCowBell: mysql -u root | 05:10 |
| Kelen | of course you need install nvidia driver under this command, and finished it, you can restart X server | 05:11 |
| Starnestommy | IWantMoreCowBell: or, if you set a password for it, mysql -u root -p, then enter your password | 05:11 |
| Jewfro | Mr_Cheeto, oh that's firewire, do aptitude search 1394 - there are several programs for that | 05:11 |

| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: It said something like the java could be out of date, but i just downloaded it, and rebooted | 05:30 |

| Izinucs | bullgard4: ok.. first find the inode number of the file like.. ls -il /etc/hosts.. once you get the number then use the debugfs command "stat" to display the contents of the inode.. you'd type "stat <inode_number>" | 05:30 |

| fxtgear | if someone wants to play wormux 0.8 final that would be amazing | 05:32 |

| genii | rglo: In the physical arrangement of your equipment is it something like internet->modem->computer or internet->modem->router computer or some other thing. Because some modems are in bridged mode and do not assign numbers, rather the computer logs on directly to the internet provider. | 05:46 |
| mortis | Also...for some reason when I turned up my speakers, it made it pan left and right as well... | 05:46 |
| mortis | like, on the physical speakers. | 05:46 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: ok, well im installing the other javas, hopefully that wrks, hopefully me having an AMD 64 has nothing to do with it | 05:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | irish3_21: that is the problem.. | 05:46 |
| rglo | genii its computer>>switch>>router>>modem | 05:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | irish3_21: there is no version of java for 64bit | 05:47 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: oh | 05:47 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: not cool | 05:47 |
| mortis | Why is my volume on my speakers also causing sound to pan left and right? | 05:47 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: so, nothing I can do right? | 05:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | irish3_21: i think there's a way to make java 32bit work on 64bit, but im not sure if it will work w/ frostwire | 05:48 |
| bullgard4 | How can I use the command 'stat' to display the owner of the file /etc/hosts? "detlef@MD97600:~$ sudo stat /etc/hosts" does not show it. | 05:48 |
| asmo[B] | IndyGunFreak: I have Java on my 64bit... | 05:48 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: ok, i will try anything | 05:48 |
| kcormier | bullgard4: you should be able to just use "sudo ls -l /etc/hosts" i believe to get the owner/group from command line | 05:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | irish3_21: you'll have to ask someone else, i'm not familiar w/ the procedure | 05:49 |
| genii | rglo: Are there other machines on the switch which work correctly? | 05:49 |
| asmo[B] | irish3_21: just for Java runtime? | 05:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | asmo[B]: pay attention, i didn't say it was impossible, i said you had to do something to the 32bit java, to make it work on 64bit | 05:49 |
| Zombie | I'd like some upgrade help. I have a Kubuntu Hardy CD and a Ubuntu DVD. I want to use thsee as my upgrade sources instead of the network. | 05:49 |
| asmo[B] | there's no trick... sudo apt-get install java-common | 05:49 |
| muerr | bullgard4, assuming you have a specific reason for using stat, it should show a line like "Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)" when you run 'stat /etc/hosts' | 05:49 |
| rglo | genii: yes...this computer just stopped after three weeks of not being booted | 05:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | asmo[B]: but isn't that only for the java plugins? | 05:50 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: yea | 05:50 |
| bullgard4 | kcormier: It prints a line: "Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)" What does the '0/' mean in it? | 05:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | see, i think you need more than that, but good luck w/ it | 05:50 |
| muerr | id 0 is root. | 05:50 |
| irish3_21 | asmo [B]: yea | 05:50 |
| genii | rglo: Cabling good? | 05:50 |
| asmo[B] | irish3_21: what else did you need? | 05:51 |
| genii | rglo: eg: lights on switch indicates cable is connected | 05:51 |
| muerr | bullgard4, the number between ( and / is padded with spaces, since it could be longer than a single digit, of course... | 05:51 |
| bullgard4 | muerr: What do you mean by 'id 0'? | 05:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | asmo[B]: he's trying to run frostwire, which requires java | 05:51 |
| rglo | genii: yes hardware is all fine. | 05:51 |
| irish3_21 | asmo [B]: im trying to run Frostwire, i have a AMD 64 | 05:51 |
| muerr | bullgard4, linux, like unix, assigns numeric values to each user and group. the name 'root' or whatever is a convenience for humans. | 05:51 |
| McChic | swfdec-mozilla (0.6.0-2ubuntu1) seems to have worked | 05:52 |

| asmo[B] | I'm pretty sure all you need is the java-common | 05:52 |

| muerr | Zombie, do you not have a fast internet connection? | 05:52 |
| daftpunk | I need an advice please. Is it possible to download all upgrades for packages while i am not logged in? I have a limited internet connection and all updates are around 250 MB.

| vipester | rglo, are you having connecting to wpa? | 05:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | irish3_21: or, since you don't have a lot of time invested in your 64bit install, just install 32bit. | 05:54 |

| bullgard4 | muerr: The kernel Documentation about the ext2 filesystem states: "The metadata about a file object includes the permission, owner, group, flags, size, number of blocks, access time, change time, ...". 'sudo stat /etc/hosts' for example did not print any flags. What flags are meant here? | 05:55 |

| airstrike | anyone familiar with compiling pidgin from source? | 05:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | muerr: i don't have a lot of experience w/ Centos, but i honestly don't doubt it.. it tends to stay caught up w/ things | 05:55 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: yea, I might, but not right now, plus im sure they will come out with something. thx for the help! | 05:55 |
| muerr | IndyGunFreak, only as caught up with things as far as RHEL is :-) | 05:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | irish3_21: well, lol yeah eventually but the issue you're having has been around since 64bit came out.. which i think was version 7.04.. so at least a year | 05:56 |
| muerr | I haven't used SuSE in years, and don't particularly miss it. | 05:56 |
| muerr | Last I used it there was no apt or yum equivalent available. | 05:56 |
| teamz | does anyone know how to enable multiple sends in vsftpd ? | 05:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | muerr: i hate suse, it just seems to have pretty solid 64bit support | 05:56 |
| teamz | I don't see it in the man pages | 05:56 |
| rglo | genii I'll try, be back in a sec | 05:57 |
| irish3_21 | IndyGunFreak: yea, haha, i remember when i first got Ubuntu and didnt even have sound lol, that was not cool | 05:57 |
| kcormier | nobody here is running 8.04 with an ati x1600? I've tried about 4 different times and my machine will never boot after | 05:57 |
| muerr | bullgard4, sorry not sure, i don't use the stat command. | 05:57 |
| bullgard4 | muerr: ok. | 05:57 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: not using a ati but .. just curious. how are you installing the driver? | 05:57 |
| draginxx | How do I get firefox 2 running alongside ff 3 in ubuntu? | 05:58 |

| Zombie | Let me try again. I'd like some upgrade help. I have a Kubuntu Hardy CD and a Ubuntu DVD. I want to use thsee as my upgrade sources instead of the network. Upgrading over the network is a waste of overhead. | 05:59 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: why don't u try envyng? | 05:59 |
| kcormier | IndyGunFreak: It's the only agp card I have that has dvi output | 05:59 |
| Zombie | I still want to do the distribution's upgrade, | 05:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | kcormier: well, good luck... was just telling you the main issue.. :) | 05:59 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: its a application used to automatically install the drivers. just a suggestion.. works for me with no issues for a nvidia. | 05:59 |
| muerr | Zombie, You'll need to change /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect your CDROM source. | 05:59 |
| muerr | or DVDROM source. | 05:59 |
| bullgard4 | muerr: What command do you use to print the metadata of an ext2/3 file? | 05:59 |

| kappaccino | would it do any harm to force mount a crashed windows partition to recover/backup data??? | 06:00 |
| muerr | I don't know the syntax offhand, as I haven't used anything but network-based apt in uh...well, since debian 2.0 | 06:00 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: okies.. | 06:00 |
| muerr | bullgard4, What kind of metadata are you after? Like, tags applied to files or something? | 06:00 |
| Zombie | I have. | 06:00 |
| kcormier | kappaccino: so long as the drive is fine it should be ok. If the data is damaged then it might cause issues | 06:00 |
| Zombie | The updater disables. | 06:00 |
| Zombie | The updater disables it.. | 06:01 |

| s_spiff | anyone here having issues with compiz.. gnomepanel.. and pidgin simultaneously?? eg: the statusbar doesn't blink when u recieve a new message??? | 06:01 |
| mortis | Why is my sound panning when I turn up the volume on my speakers? | 06:01 |
| Laibsch | good morning | 06:01 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: did you update the settings? I don't think it blinks by default (could be wrong) | 06:01 |
| muerr | s_spiff, i find compiz insufficiently useful and disable it :-) | 06:01 |
| muerr | sorry thats probably not much help. | 06:01 |
| |PiP| | im having a weird problem with 8.04 where sound only plays from a single app at a time | 06:01 |
| muerr | mortis, you mean when you use the slider on your keyboard? | 06:02 |
| mortis | No, when I use the actual volume on my speakers. :-/ | 06:02 |
| muerr | mortis, you might be able to change the behaviour by going to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts.. | 06:02 |
| Laibsch | recently, when I start up my computer, the evolution-data-server-2.22 process is sucking up all available CPU cycles. Why is that? | 06:02 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: umm..my last fresh install used to i think.. but will check it out :( ( afaik there are no settings for the status bar blinking thing.. only the system tray blinking option ) | 06:02 |
| muerr | External speakers? | 06:02 |
| muerr | Thats, uh. Goofy :-) | 06:02 |
| mortis | Yeah... | 06:02 |
| rglo | genii: no it doesn't work directly either | 06:02 |
| kappaccino | s_spiff: nothing weird here with pidgin | 06:02 |
| mortis | Maybe I'm just deaf in one ear... | 06:02 |
| s_spiff | muerr: thanks, but thats not really a solution.. more like a last resort. | 06:02 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: i know there is in windows and they changed the default action a while back to not blink...good luck! | 06:03 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: ohh is it??? i'm still on the 2.4.1 which had it i think.. will check out anyways.. thanks | 06:03 |
| muerr | s_spiff, hence my comment that it wasn't much help :-). That said, I don't know much of anything about compiz. It messes with the way switching desktops works for me, so its completely unusable. | 06:03 |
| mortis | Alright, the OS recognizes when I turn my volume up or down graphically, but it doesn't actually alter the volume. | 06:03 |
| daftpunk | I need an advice please. Is it possible to download all upgrades for packages while i am not logged in? I have a limited internet connection and all updates are around 250 MB.

| genii | rglo: OK. My first suspect was long cabling. I had this issue when I setup a box and tested it directly on router...worked. Then put a switch and ran a 150metre line to it, where it also worked on the cached dhcp info til I had it powerd off a week. Where after it refused to get an IP | 06:04 |

| n2diy | I'm planning on reviving "legacy" hardware for the local folks who, like me, can't afford the latest and greatest stuff. My current project box will only run Breezy, and I can't access any repos or .debs with it. Is Ubuntu the right path for this project, or should I be looking elsewhere? | 06:04 |

| iniciante | boa noite | 06:05 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: if you didn't see it yet, try plugins -> message notification -> set window manager "urgent" hint...i think that's it | 06:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | n2diy: don't see why not.. | 06:05 |
| iniciante | preciso de ajuda | 06:05 |
| rglo | genii: that would make sense. it is a long cable. How did you fix the prob? | 06:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | n2diy: maybe debian lenny or etch | 06:05 |
| mortis | Alright, the OS recognizes when I turn my volume up or down graphically, but it doesn't actually alter the volume. | 06:06 |
| sini | n2diy: you might also consider slackware or rpm based distro since they wont have network connectivity | 06:06 |
| n2diy | Hi IndyGunFreak , been awhile. I was hoping to stay with some flavor of Ubuntu. | 06:06 |
| rglo | mortis: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 06:06 |
| mortis | Hardy | 06:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | n2diy: well, what makes you think hardy won't support yoru legacy hardware? | 06:06 |
| rglo | mortis: damn...should be working | 06:07 |
| rglo | what model is your comp? | 06:07 |
| mortis | Wow. No. It's not just me being deaf...the sound is literally panning left and right when I turn my volume up or down. | 06:07 |
| mortis | Maybe the cable is loose or something. | 06:07 |
| n2diy | IndyGunFreak, I only have 128m of ram? | 06:07 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: any luck s_spiff? | 06:07 |
| genii | rglo: I cut the ends and replaced the plugs in standard EIA568B order of the wires. Seems the cable had been wired with wires in same order on each end which is OK for short runs but you need precise order for the signal not to degrade over twisted pair for realy long runs. | 06:08 |
| s_spiff | muerr: nopes :( | 06:08 |
| muerr | bullgard4, ls, generally :-). Is there specific information about a file you're looking for? | 06:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | n2diy: then i would probably look at Xubuntu or Debian Etch | 06:08 |
| muerr | Or just poking around in the kernel documentation? | 06:08 |

| kcormier | s_spiff: exciting stuff! ;) do you mind chatting in a private chat? | 06:13 |
| micahcowan | legend2440, usually, a number like that indicates that there _is_ no group 999. Did you copy/install/untar it from elsewhere? | 06:13 |
| micahcowan | legend2440, anyway, it probably doesn't matter; but if you like, you can certainly chown root.root it. | 06:14 |
| Matthew | TiZ_: I'm sorry, extensions? | 06:14 |
| Arrick | ok, how do I remove mysql and all DB's associated so i can reinstall it from terminal in ubuntu? I seem to have locked myself out of mysql and would like to get my site back up | 06:14 |

| Matthew | tiz_ maybe do you mean plug-ins? I have one theme, and the "alot" toolbar. | 06:15 |
| muerr | legend2440, you can find out what group 999 is by running "grep 999 /etc/group" in a terminal. | 06:16 |
| legend2440 | muerr: ok thanks | 06:16 |
| micahcowan | Yeah. Except, it's unlikely to be there (unless the name of a group is actually "999"). | 06:16 |
| muerr | daftpunk, you need to get the updates on some form of media, and then specify that media as a source in /etc/apt/sources.list. | 06:16 |
| TiZ_ | "alot" toolbar? I've never heard of it. I'd disable it and then try some vids. If that doesn't work, I'd try disabling the theme as well and then trying again. | 06:16 |
| muerr | don't know the syntax for that in sources.list, haven't used anything but network sources in ages. | 06:17 |
| TiZ_ | And the correct term is extensions. | 06:17 |

| daftpunk | muerr I'm gonna have a look at it | 06:19 |
| TiZ_ | Now... Does anyone know anything about the process of installing another kernel? I'm interested in the Zen Kernel and I want to know if it's worth it to give it a shot. What all will I have to do in installing it? Do I have to reinstall drivers? | 06:19 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: wish me luck, restarting now! | 06:19 |
| daftpunk | muerr what is the address for repo system? | 06:19 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: BOL.. :P | 06:19 |
| s_spiff | TiZ_: umm.. wanted to try it. but afair that it'll screw up my drivers and all. let me know if it works for u.. there are available debs, which can be installed directly. but not tried | 06:20 |
| muerr | daftpunk, well, theres repository mirrors around the world, and a list would be available on ubuntu.com. however the whole process is very much a manual ordeal and i wouldn't be able to walk you through it on irc. | 06:20 |
| airstrikeivanov | How do I find out what video card I have, and if it needs restricted drivers? | 06:20 |
| === starz is now known as apt_get | ||
| muerr | daftpunk, sorry i can't be more help. | 06:20 |
| micahcowan | Tigge, what you wish to do, will not be supported, I'm afraid. And probably none of the Ubuntu binary modules will work with it: you'll need to do _everything_. | 06:20 |
| micahcowan | TiZ_, ^ sorry | 06:21 |
| daftpunk | muerr thank you, no problem I'll sort it out | 06:21 |
| TiZ_ | s_spiff, I don't want to try it yet either. I want to know what all it entails first. | 06:21 |
| Kelen | airstrikeivanov: lsmod | 06:21 |
| micahcowan | * will not be supported here. | 06:21 |
| defendguin | is there any way to look at the jobs that are in a print queue? | 06:21 |
| TiZ_ | Oh | 06:21 |
| TiZ_ | I see. I guess I'll just keep the normal one, then. | 06:21 |
| defendguin | obviously the new gui doesn't have one | 06:21 |
| muerr | daftpunk, at least you'll know what to start looking into :-) | 06:21 |
| s_spiff | TiZ_: hmm.. till date i've not come across a howto for it.. just the thread on the forums | 06:21 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: black screen, hard lock... guess i'm not so lucky :-\ | 06:21 |
| TiZ_ | Tigge. Lol. Nice typo. :P | 06:21 |
| airstrikeivanov | lsmod doesn't help me. It doesn't tell me my card, or if I have the drivers installed or not. | 06:22 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: ohh ok.. | 06:22 |
| TiZ_ | airstrikeivanov, go to System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers | 06:22 |
| kcormier | damn it. I've been trying for 4 days to get this driver installed | 06:22 |
| K`zan_emc | I'm running the 6.06 version that comes with the EMC distro. I need to build a module - what do I need to add to be able to do that (we don't even have make). TIA | 06:22 |
| AutoMatriX | Hi folks | 06:22 |
| kcormier | anyone else have any ideas for an ati x1600 on hardy? | 06:22 |
| SiegeX | question about compiling software. It seems the latest version of gsynatpic allows you to change speed/acceleration but its only available in a tarball and requires recompiling. Since there is a .deb package for an older version of gsynaptic, how easy would it be to use that as a template and just change the source code for gsynaptic to a later version? | 06:22 |
| trevheg | can anyone help me get my wireless working? | 06:22 |
| trevheg | It's a driver issue | 06:23 |
| s_spiff | anyone here remembers the command to get all the restricted formats installed??? on hardy.. it was something sudo apt-get install restricted.... | 06:23 |
| genii | rglo: I need to sleep soon. Any joy/enlightenment yet? | 06:23 |
| airstrikeivanov | It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and the list is empty. | 06:23 |
| muerr | defendguin, Applications -> Accessories -> Manage Print Jobs will show jobs that have been sent to the queue but not processed by the printer yet. | 06:23 |
| Kelen | airstrikeivanov: System>Administrations>Hardware Drivers | 06:23 |
| TiZ_ | Then you probably don't need any restricted drivers. | 06:23 |
| airstrikeivanov | How can I find out what video card I have? | 06:23 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras or something along those lines. you can do it through add/remove programs | 06:23 |
| TiZ_ | Um... | 06:23 |
| s_spiff | kcormier: thank you. | 06:23 |
| airstrikeivanov | I just got this computer and don't know what's installed or what. | 06:23 |
| defendguin | muerr: why would they hide it there | 06:23 |
| kcormier | s_spiff: happy to help :) | 06:24 |
| TiZ_ | airstrikeivanov: Open a terminal, and do lspci | 06:24 |
| muerr | defendguin, I cannot answer that question, I don't like the menu structure myself :-) | 06:24 |
| the | hi | 06:24 |
| TiZ_ | Look for VGA Compatible Controller | 06:24 |
| airstrikeivanov | Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 06:24 |
| defendguin | muerr: what about if you are using a network printer? | 06:24 |
| the | how can I connect to my home server from outside | 06:24 |
| TiZ_ | Then you have an intel video card. I'm sorry. :P | 06:24 |
| TiZ_ | But on the bright side, you don't need proprietary drivers for it. | 06:24 |
| airstrikeivanov | I prefer NV usually. I hear Intel is crap. | 06:25 |
| TiZ_ | Usually, intel cards are indeed very disappointing. | 06:25 |
| airstrikeivanov | I'm going to buy an 8800GT soon, 1GB. Is that compatible with Ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| TiZ_ | Probalby more so than an ATI card would be. | 06:25 |
| draginxx | How do I get firefox 2 running alongside ff 3 in ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yeah, I remember there being a whole kernel for NV cards, it ran on my old server with its GeForce 2 MX. | 06:25 |
| TiZ_ | I'm using a laptop with an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, and the proprietary driver is no good on it. | 06:26 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yeah | 06:26 |
| TiZ_ | I use the open source driver. | 06:26 |
| airstrikeivanov | My laptop was an X200, and it never worked | 06:26 |
| muerr | defendguin, there's a process on your local system called "CUPS" (common unix printing system) that communicates with your network printer. when you submit a print job, it sends it to the CUPS process and until it is processed by CUPS and sent to the network printer, it will show up in the manage print jobs list. | 06:26 |
| airstrikeivanov | Just lost the hard disk on it too | 06:26 |
| kcormier | TiZ_: how can you get the open source ati driver? | 06:26 |
| TiZ_ | Nvidia's proprietary driver is better, or so I hear. | 06:26 |
| draginxx | my desktop pc right now uses x200 and it works fine :) | 06:26 |
| airstrikeivanov | the X200 is okay | 06:26 |
| draginxx | but ubuntu 7.10 it didnt work to well at all | 06:26 |
| airstrikeivanov | the X200 Mobility is crap | 06:26 |
| TiZ_ | kcormier, you probably already have it. | 06:26 |
| muerr | it "disappears" from that list when CUPS is no longer aware of it. If your network printer has a web interface you could connect to that to view the print job(s) | 06:26 |
| SiegeX | are the source packages that ubuntu uses to make the .deb's freely available? | 06:26 |
| kcormier | TiZ_: I'm pretty sure it's the vesa driver by default | 06:26 |
| muerr | the, you have a server at home running ubuntu and you want to be able to access it from outside your home network? | 06:27 |
| Kelen | My laptop T61 worked Ubuntu 8.04 fine.. | 06:27 |
| TiZ_ | Just disable fglrx from the hardware drivers dialog, and the open source driver should be used. If it's not, then I think you can just change your driver to "ati" in xorg.conf. | 06:27 |
| trevheg | how can I get madwifi to work? | 06:27 |
| TiZ_ | That's how it worked for me, and I never explicitly installed the open source driver. However... | 06:27 |
| muerr | trevheg, pray. | 06:27 |
| trevheg | thanks a lot | 06:28 |
| TiZ_ | If you have a radeon Xpress card, 3d acceleration will take a little more effort. | 06:28 |
| * muerr hates madwifi / athereos wireless adapters | 06:28 | |
| TiZ_ | Do you have a Radeon Xpress, kcormier? | 06:28 |
| trevheg | it was cheap | 06:28 |
| kcormier | Radeon x1600 PRO | 06:28 |
| JohnnyBeGood | Can someone help me setup webmin to do reboot on certain days? | 06:28 |
| TiZ_ | I'll check the wiki for you. Be right back. | 06:28 |
| genii | rglo: In case you need it for wiring reference: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/eng/Intranet/ict/support/UTP.HTM I have to go, 6 hours til alarm goes off here | 06:29 |
| mortis | How do I set my volume slider on my keyboard to control the volume in Ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| muerr | the, to access your home system, you can use ssh (command-line / text mode) or VNC - maybe Vino (GUI). you'll also need to set up port forwarding in your router/access point for ssh (port 22) and vnc (5900). | 06:29 |
| TiZ_ | Ah, it seems you can't use the open source driver on that one, kcormier. | 06:29 |
| kcormier | TiZ_: damn. and it seems the binary driver doesn't work either. damn damn damn! | 06:30 |
| TiZ_ | You have to use either the proprietary one or the new radeonhd driver... But the new one doesn't have 3d. | 06:30 |
| kcormier | TiZ_: I've been working on this damn machine for 4 days too....lmfao | 06:30 |
| TiZ_ | ATI is NOT the way to go for linux. :P | 06:30 |
| muerr | TiZ_, s/for linux// | 06:31 |
| kcormier | TiZ_: I've noticed...too bad it's pretty much all I have because in windows it's usually much better for tv out! | 06:31 |
| TiZ_ | Huh, muerr? | 06:31 |
| K`zan_emc | mortis: ~/.Xmodmap works for me. Added this to it: | 06:31 |
| amccarty | Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu, could someone help me with setting up wireless internet? Right now I can only access internet through a cable | 06:31 |
| muerr | substitution command. | 06:31 |
| K`zan_emc | keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume | 06:31 |
| K`zan_emc | keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume | 06:31 |
| TiZ_ | Oh. Substitute with nothing. Heh, clever. | 06:31 |
| muerr | TiZ_, i'm just that geeky :D | 06:31 |
| TiZ_ | Yeah, ATI isn't the way to go in general, you're right there. | 06:32 |
| mortis | Where can I get xmod map? | 06:32 |
| TiZ_ | I always did prefer Nvidia. | 06:32 |
| K`zan_emc | mortis: Your keyboard may be different.. google on .Xmodmap - it gets interesting :-) | 06:32 |
| muerr | Ditto. I have ati in this laptop because thats what it came with, and we bought it *cheap* from a friend. | 06:32 |
| K`zan_emc | mortis: err, probably xmodmap might work better :) | 06:32 |
| nisip | hello | 06:32 |
| mortis | i'll look. Thanks | 06:32 |
| muerr | heh... | 06:32 |
| muerr | good luck with xmodmap mortis. | 06:33 |
| TiZ_ | My laptop's a Gateway MT6452. It has an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. And by gosh, the open-source driver does great! | 06:33 |
| nisip | i saw on-line how the mac air mouse works and it was great. | 06:33 |
| kcormier | I'm not so much of a fan of ati's corporate policies, especially the new pricing thing! | 06:33 |
| muerr | i've been using Linux for over 13 years and I stay clear of that :-x | 06:33 |
| TiZ_ | But fglrx is utter crap! Compiz is the only thing that works well on that driver. | 06:33 |
| mortis | lol. Is it confusing muerr? | 06:33 |
| BoneE | sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 06:33 |
| BoneE | dont work | 06:33 |
| nisip | can i configure ubuntu to do the same mousepad action on my laptop? | 06:33 |
| BoneE | how do i get w32codecs | 06:33 |
| mortis | Is xmodmap even a program? Or what? | 06:33 |
| amccarty | Cab anyone please help me with setting up wireless internet? | 06:33 |
| muerr | mortis, surely for the unitiated. | 06:33 |
| kcormier | BoneE: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras i believe | 06:34 |
| mortis | Is there anything else that would be easier to use? | 06:34 |
| muerr | xmodmap is a program. .Xmodmaprc is the configuration file in your home directory. | 06:34 |
| muerr | maybe the keyboard shortcuts, if the volume settings there respond when you move your slider. | 06:34 |
| mortis | They do, graphically though. | 06:34 |
| mortis | They don't actually do anything to the volume. | 06:34 |
| kcormier | hey guys. Does the radeonhd driver support opengl hardware acceleration? | 06:34 |
| TiZ_ | No it doesn't. | 06:35 |
| kcormier | damn it | 06:35 |
| muerr | the gui volume slider dialog pops up when you move the slider? | 06:35 |
| TiZ_ | It has no 3d yet. | 06:35 |
| kcormier | i seriously hate ati all of a sudden | 06:35 |
| kcormier | any luck with the ati hd2600 card? | 06:35 |
| mortis | muerr: yes it does but it doesn't change the volume. | 06:36 |
| TiZ_ | kcormier: the only thing you can do is scour google and the ubuntu forums for solutions, or go back to Windows. | 06:36 |
| kcormier | TiZ_: do you know if the open source driver supports the ati hd2600 pro? | 06:36 |
| TiZ_ | I don't know. | 06:37 |
| kcormier | Where'd you find out about the 1600 pro? I don't mind looking it up myself, I just don't really know where to look! | 06:37 |
| muerr | mortis, sorry don't know much about it. only non-button volume controls i've had was a spin-dial thing on a logitech keyboard and that worked on ubuntu 7.04 by default :-\ | 06:37 |
| TiZ_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 06:38 |
| TiZ_ | There's a thread in the ubuntu forums about how people got fglrx to work for them | 06:38 |
| the | this is an offcial ubuntu support rite | 06:38 |
| mortis | Well, it's a spin-dial, yea. | 06:38 |
| TiZ_ | I'll be right back. | 06:38 |
| mortis | But thanks. | 06:38 |
| the | but no one here can help me | 06:38 |
| BoneE | kcormier: not inthere | 06:38 |
| the | I just need to know how to setup my home server | 06:39 |
| the | so that I can access from outside | 06:39 |
| genii | the: Web server? | 06:40 |
| muerr | the, this is user/community based support. | 06:40 |
| Starnestommy | the: is it a web server or ssh server? | 06:40 |
| SiegeX | whats the diff between synaptic and aptitude? | 06:40 |
| kcormier | thanks TiZ_ I'll have to take a look at what gpu the hd2600 runs! | 06:40 |
| SiegeX | two different front ends to the same apt-get? | 06:40 |
| muerr | the, if you want to be able to log into your home system from the outside world, I provided a couple suggestions. | 06:40 |
| muerr | ssh and vnc. | 06:40 |
| jbroome | or, vnc over ssh | 06:40 |
| alan_m | SiegeX: synaptic is the front end to aptitude. | 06:40 |
| alan_m | SiegeX: i mean apt-get | 06:41 |
| alan_m | SiegeX: yeah | 06:41 |
| SiegeX | ok, and what is aptitude then | 06:41 |
| muerr | aptitude is just a more "usable" commandline front end to apt. | 06:41 |
| the | genii: ssh | 06:41 |
| SiegeX | ahh | 06:41 |
| the | muerr : yaa | 06:41 |
| muerr | so you can do aptitude search somepackage, aptitude install somepackage, rather than apt-cache search somepackage, apt-get install somepackage. | 06:41 |
| the | muerr : already install ssh and ftp | 06:41 |
| alan_m | SiegeX: aptitiude has less of a tendencey to break things....though ive been told apt-get got updated so it doesnt do this as often anymore. | 06:42 |
| TiZ_ | kcormier: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=43251611 | 06:42 |
| muerr | the, don't use ftp, ssh will allow you to use sftp which is encrypted. | 06:42 |
| the | muerr: ok | 06:42 |
| muerr | the, you'll need to open a port forward on your access point or router you use with your ISP connection to the internet. ssh by default is port 22. | 06:42 |
| SiegeX | muerr: nice, I see. well if aptitude has all the benefits and no shortfalls over apt-get, might as well use that | 06:42 |
| genii | the: Most ISP have dynamic numbers. Use some service like dyndns to make it always accessible. And ezipupdate on the box to use dyndns. Then make your router forward port 22 to your box, which should be also getting the same internal lan number all the time from it based on mac address. | 06:42 |
| the | muerr: here I got 1 modem that connected to my wireless router | 06:43 |
| muerr | SiegeX, despite the existence of aptitude, i still use apt-get and apt-cache, due to habits picked up ages ago | 06:43 |
| muerr | the, ISP cable modem -> wireless router -> server ? | 06:43 |
| SiegeX | well, i come from a long time in the slackware world and ive been use slapt-get, so apt-get isnt all that foreign to me | 06:43 |
| SiegeX | although i wouldnt have known that i need to call another binary for searches (apt-cache) | 06:43 |
| genii | the: Then you ssh into it like ssh -l name whatever.dyndns.org | 06:44 |
| rglo | genii: You're one smart cookie. Saved me a bunch of hair that I would have pulled out. THANK YOU!!! | 06:44 |
| the | muerr : isp --> modem -- wireless router -- pc | 06:44 |
| muerr | the, so you'll log into your wireless access point (i assume you know how to do that:) ) and change the port forwarding to point incoming connections on port 22 to the IP of your server on port 22. | 06:44 |
| the | muerr : isp --> modem -- wireless router -- server | 06:44 |
| alan_m | SiegeX: though this room isnt as heavy right now as earlier, can we put nicknames in front of messages so that we know who we're talking to? | 06:44 |
| genii | rglo: np :) Glad to help | 06:44 |
| SiegeX | alan_m: sure | 06:44 |
| the | muerr : router or modem | 06:44 |
| muerr | the, before you do that though, you'll need to secure your server as much as you can. | 06:44 |
| alan_m | SiegeX: :) | 06:44 |
| muerr | the wireless router. | 06:44 |
| K`zan_emc | Will try tomorrow and see if anyone knows what needs to be installed to build a kernel module... | 06:44 |
| muerr | typically has a web based front end to manage. | 06:45 |
| the | muerr : ok done already | 06:45 |
| Kelen | is there anyone could tell me where can i find win32codecs and w32codes. i cant find them with my sources.list | 06:45 |
| the | :) | 06:45 |
| genii | rglo: Gotta go sleep now :) Enjoy | 06:45 |
| hans-solo | Does anyone have a driver for OKI c3200 printer | 06:45 |
| muerr | Kelen, need to enable universe or multiverse. | 06:45 |
| TiZ_ | Restarting laptop. | 06:45 |
| muerr | kelen search the ubuntu wiki for w32codec. | 06:45 |

| F_Dom | Kelen,you can try http://ubuntu.cn99.com | 06:47 |

| the | muerr : yaa | 06:47 |
| Kelen | muerr: is that why cant play RMVB format video normal, i just got sound only.. | 06:47 |

| TiZ_ | Why do it from the terminal? You don't have to. | 06:49 |
| joobaby | tonyyarusso: thanks | 06:49 |
| muerr | the, are you trying to connect to the server via the internal IP on the private network behind the wireless router, or via the public IP of the router from the ISP? | 06:49 |
| TiZ_ | System -> Admin -> Users and Groups | 06:49 |
| joobaby | well i couldnt find the other way | 06:49 |
| joobaby | ah | 06:49 |
| joobaby | i like using the terminal anyway | 06:49 |
| the | muerr: public IP from the ISP | 06:49 |
| Kelen | F_Dom: I has added cn99.com in my sources.list, but it is still cant find any infomation about w32codes or win32codecs . | 06:50 |
| TiZ_ | Oh well. I'm a GUI person. | 06:50 |
| muerr | the, so you nmap that IP and it says port 22 is listening? does the wireless router itself have ssh access available? | 06:50 |
| SiegeX | ok, this is kinda odd. I went into the compiz config's general settings, and bumped the number of horizontal desktop size from 2 to 4, now ctrl+alt+down actually does something but I dont see a cube. Its more like a 3-windowed expo | 06:50 |

| Kidfork | HEy guys i removed a seperator from my deskbar. Now i can see the update manager, network icon, etc. How can i get this back>? | 06:51 |
| F_Dom | Kelen,can you give me the e-mail of you ,i will send the sources.list to you | 06:51 |
| the | muerr: wireless router with ssh access | 06:51 |
| TiZ_ | SiegX, you need the Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube plugins enabled. | 06:51 |
| TiZ_ | SiegeX, that is. Sorry. | 06:51 |
| dacubuntu | is firefox 3 final out yet? | 06:51 |
| the | muerr: I only modify the port forwarding to the server | 06:52 |
| the | muerr: let say my server ip is 192.168.1.10 | 06:52 |
| SiegeX | TiZ_: aha, let me try that. | 06:52 |
| muerr | the, if your wireless router has ssh access built in, then it'll already be listening on port 22 for itself. you'll need to change the 'listen' port in your port forwarding to something else (such as 2200), and then use that port when you ssh. | 06:52 |

| muerr | dacubuntu, yes and making its way to ubuntu mirrors if its not there already. | 06:53 |
| TiZ_ | Okay. So, everyone knows the three gnome menus. Applications, Places, and System. I'd like to merge them into one button labeled "Menu" (not the single button; I'd like it to have a label too). Is this possible? | 06:53 |
| the | muerr: in that case nope | 06:53 |
| s_spiff | dacubuntu: i think the ubuntu repo has it already | 06:53 |
| s_spiff | dacubuntu: or try get-deb if u can't find it on the repos | 06:54 |
| dacubuntu | ok... ill have to update the repos then | 06:54 |
| the | muerr: no ssh aceess built | 06:54 |
| muerr | the, ah ok. | 06:54 |
| s_spiff | TiZ_: yup... right click..add to panel.. and click the main menu.. | 06:54 |
| dacubuntu | can any of u recommend a download manager? | 06:54 |
| Zombie | I still can't get DVD | 06:54 |
| s_spiff | dacubuntu: wget is nice..and super lightweight | 06:54 |
| dacubuntu | something like flashget for windows... i just cant find somethin as good as that | 06:54 |
| JohnnyBeGood | Can someone help me setup webmin to do reboot on certain days? | 06:54 |
| muerr | the, you have a pc and a server behind the router. can you ping the server from the pc? | 06:55 |
| TiZ_ | s_spiff: I know about that one. But I'd like it to have a label too; not just the one icon. | 06:55 |
| jc__ | I've uninstalled openoffice and now it won't install from the synaptic can anyone help figure this out | 06:55 |
| Zombie | I still can't get DVD upgrade to work. | 06:55 |
| muerr | dacubuntu, what kind of downloads do you need managed? | 06:55 |
| dacubuntu | i know... wget is a bit weird | 06:55 |
| dacubuntu | all kinds actually | 06:55 |
| the | muerr: yes | 06:55 |
| dmsuperman | Can somebody do me a huge favor and get me the direct link to the Linux video driver for the nVidia 7900 GS KO video card? | 06:55 |
| s_spiff | TiZ_: i think you need to edit some file in the home folder .. so as to use customized icon or something.. sorry can't remember. | 06:55 |
| dacubuntu | not specific to you tube vids or nethin | 06:55 |
| the | muerr: I also can ssh to that server | 06:55 |
| alan_m | !webmin | JohnnyBeGood | 06:55 |
| ubottu | JohnnyBeGood: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 06:56 |
| muerr | from the pc | 06:56 |
| muerr | but not to the public IP? | 06:56 |
| the | yaa | 06:56 |
| the | from pc to server | 06:56 |
| the | I use internal IP | 06:56 |
| the | 192.169.x.x | 06:56 |
| muerr | but if you're external you can't ssh to the public IP and get a response. | 06:56 |
| muerr | or from the pc you can't | 06:57 |
| alan_m | !ebox | JohnnyBeGood | 06:57 |
| ubottu | JohnnyBeGood: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 06:57 |
| the | yaa correct | 06:58 |
| the | ok, from my pc | 06:58 |
| dacubuntu | apart from wget n wxdownload... any others? | 06:58 |
| the | if I ssh using my internal IP, yes it works | 06:58 |
| muerr | dacubuntu, there's download extensions for firefox. | 06:58 |
| === cO_gObLog is now known as ce_cubbies | ||
| dacubuntu | yeah.. but i cant use rapidshare with that | 06:59 |
| the | ssh using public IP it wont works | 06:59 |
| dacubuntu | altho i do have it installed | 06:59 |
| the | either from inside or ourside | 07:00 |
| jc__ | openoffice.org-core won't install any thoughts? | 07:00 |
| muerr | its possible your ISP won't let the connection through. | 07:00 |
| the | how to check | 07:00 |
| jc__ | openoffice.org-core conflicts with openoffice.org-unbundled how do I resolve this? | 07:01 |
| SiegeX | TiZ_: ok, the rotate cube plugin allows ctrl+alt+left/right to work quite nicely but I still dont see a zoomed out cube, it more or less just flips | 07:02 |
| u007 | hi, anyone know of any command to check the dependencies of the binary, instead of trying each time to encounter next library missing | 07:02 |
| Spender | Hey I need some advice on setting up my partitions. I'm planning on a /, /boot, /home and maybe a /usr cause thats where everything gets installed to right? | 07:02 |
| SiegeX | and ctrl+alt+down just flattens it out like it was expo | 07:02 |
| SiegeX | Tiz | 07:02 |
| TiZ_ | SiegeX: Try Ctrl+Alt+Button1 | 07:02 |
| u007 | ohh.. nvm, i found it, its ldd | 07:03 |
| TiZ_ | I didn't know about Ctrl+Alt+Down. I use the actual Expo plugin that uses Super+E. | 07:03 |
| ZLemur | evening | 07:04 |
| TiZ_ | SiegeX, did the cube rotate? | 07:04 |
| SiegeX | TiZ_: thats alot closer to what i thought it would look like, although i know ive seen videos of the cube zoomed out | 07:04 |
| TiZ_ | They're probably using 3D Windows | 07:04 |
| TiZ_ | Enable that plugin too | 07:04 |
| polygon89 | Spender, i personally just use a / , /boot, swap and /home. | 07:04 |
| Filled-Void | HI all, After doing updates it seems flash isnt working on my system I tried reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree but it doesnt seem to fix it . Any suggestions ? :D Im on Ubuntu HH 64 bit | 07:05 |
| dacubuntu | oh i know what you mean siegex | 07:05 |
| Spender | thanks poly, I was planning on a /usr cause my uncle said thats where everything gets installed to | 07:05 |
| dacubuntu | siegex: just hold the middle click on the desktop, and drag | 07:05 |
| bj_ | I pulled the newest flash 10 beta and used that | 07:05 |
| TiZ_ | Filled-Void, the 32 bit flash player won't work unless you use 32 bit firefox | 07:05 |
| dacubuntu | if thats twhat your looking for | 07:05 |
| bj_ | what browser you using? | 07:05 |
| Spender | so i was wanting all my stuff on a different partition then my main distro | 07:05 |
| TiZ_ | You'll have to use an open source flash player | 07:05 |
| bj_ | there is an alternative flash player | 07:06 |
| dacubuntu | btw has any1 noticed that even the adobe flash player for ubuntu sucks? | 07:06 |
| bj_ | yes it does | 07:06 |
| Jewfro_Macabbi | TiZ_, It can be made to work using ndswrapper | 07:06 |
| Filled-Void | TiZ_, Ok thanks :) | 07:06 |
| bj_ | that might change with 10, though | 07:06 |
| polygon89 | dacubuntu, too bad thats all we have. | 07:06 |
| bj_ | flash is slow on anything but win/mac | 07:06 |
| dacubuntu | i dont see y... | 07:06 |
| Filled-Void | It was working before updates. Thats is youtube and all worked. | 07:06 |
| TiZ_ | I didn't know ndiswrapper could play the flash player. :| | 07:06 |
| dacubuntu | same company n everything | 07:06 |
| bj_ | mine kept crashing on videos | 07:07 |
| polygon89 | dacubuntu, its not open source. tha | 07:07 |
| bj_ | so, i updated to 10 beta | 07:07 |
| bj_ | hasn't crashed yet | 07:07 |
| dacubuntu | what about the other alternatives | 07:07 |
| bj_ | there is a free alternative, but it's not as good... | 07:07 |
| dacubuntu | like does plug ins on firefox (cant remember the names) | 07:07 |
| polygon89 | gnash doesnt work very well, it has to reverse engineer ingeveryth | 07:07 |
| Jewfro_Macabbi | TiZ, I had it running on a debian 64 system - so I'm betting it can be done on Ubuntu also | 07:07 |
| TiZ_ | and dacubuntu, the 32 bit adobe flash player is just fine on me. | 07:07 |
| TiZ_ | on mine* | 07:07 |
| dacubuntu | yeah gnash | 07:07 |
| dacubuntu | im on 32 as well | 07:07 |
| bj_ | gnash is worse than linux flash from adobe | 07:07 |
| vipester | has anyone else encountered issues with wpa wireless? | 07:08 |
| bj_ | so, there really is no good option at the moment | 07:08 |
| Filled-Void | Sigh lost power. WIll be back later | 07:08 |
| TiZ_ | Jewfro, I'm mostly a linux newbie. I'm just relaying what I learned in my struggle to get Ubuntu working. | 07:08 |
| dacubuntu | all i care is that it displays sites proeprly | 07:08 |
| bj_ | get the medibuntu repositories | 07:08 |
| bj_ | then you can load up all your media needs like DVD and vid codecs | 07:08 |
| ZLemur | greetings, all | 07:08 |
| bj_ | also do the nonfree repos | 07:08 |
| bj_ | that will have your drivers and flash stuff | 07:09 |
| Kartagis | good morning | 07:09 |
| bj_ | morning to you | 07:09 |
| dacubuntu | hmmm | 07:09 |
| dacubuntu | ill have to look for it then | 07:09 |
| ZLemur | it's dead over in #ubuntu-eeepc so i figured i'd pop over here | 07:09 |
| TiZ_ | Does anyone know how I can add a label to the Main Menu button, so that it's not just an icon, but (icon) Menu? | 07:09 |
| Kartagis | what package must I install to make sound-juicer rip audio cd mp3? | 07:09 |
| bj_ | the main ubuntu logo? on the taskbar? | 07:10 |
| polygon89 | Kartagis, i think the ugly set of plugins for gstreamer | 07:10 |
| muerr | Kartagis, you need to have an mp3 encoding library installed on your system. | 07:10 |
| bj_ | you can skin anything in kde/gnome | 07:10 |
| ZLemur | trying to figure if eeebuntu can be installed (and fit) on a 2g surf from an sd card. google isn't turning up too much. | 07:10 |
| bj_ | do you like your eee? | 07:11 |
| ZLemur | or if theres any other alternative that's super stripped down to conserve disk space. i don't do much with the eee - web browsing, pidgin and xchat | 07:11 |
| bj_ | I was eyeing the newer ones | 07:11 |
| ZLemur | love it, bj_ | 07:11 |
| bj_ | but they made the 901s ugly | 07:11 |
| sinnus | hello all. I have installed firefox 3 and when I try to install any addons I get the following error: "Firefox could not install the file at | 07:11 |
| sinnus | https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/file/29765/better_gmail_2-0.5-fx+sm.xpi | 07:11 |
| sinnus | because: Download error | 07:11 |
| sinnus | -228" | 07:11 |
| FloodBot1 | sinnus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:11 |
| dacubuntu | tiz: just right click on the menu bar and over the applications / places... and click edit menus | 07:12 |
| sinnus | what is wrong? | 07:12 |
| alan_m | sinnus, floodbot1's being picky, dont worry about it :) | 07:12 |
| bj_ | ZLemur, would you go for bigger screen...is it a second laptop? | 07:12 |
| alan_m | just dont paste a lot of lines in the room like you just did....use pastebin. | 07:12 |
| dacubuntu | sinnus: is it firefox final? cuz i cant find it | 07:12 |
| sinnus | dacubuntu, Yes, final version | 07:13 |
| dacubuntu | mind tellin me where u got it? | 07:13 |
| dacubuntu | which repo? | 07:13 |
| dacubuntu | or site.. or wtv? | 07:13 |
| bj_ | has anyone here tried setting up mythbuntu? | 07:13 |
| ZLemur | it's my only laptop at the moment. like i said, i don't need it for much. basic online functionality. the 7" that's on my 2g surf is plenty big for my purposes. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'd like another 1" vertically for certain webpages, but once i get ff3 going, it won't be an issue. | 07:13 |
| TiZ_ | dacubuntu: that doesn't do it. I've checked alacarte over 9000 times. I haven't found any way to compress the "Applications, Places, System" into one label, "Menu" | 07:13 |
| tv7497 | bazhang: sir how do you compile an theme engine | 07:14 |
| bj_ | ya, the black 700s were pretty sexy.... | 07:14 |
| ZLemur | nod - i mine | 07:14 |
| ZLemur | 's black | 07:14 |
| ZLemur | (and as you can see, i'm still getting used to the tiny keyboard) | 07:15 |
| bj_ | they stuck this big ol hinge on the 901 | 07:15 |
| bj_ | and--i dunno--made it more plasticeee | 07:15 |
| ZLemur | more chinsey feel, eh? | 07:15 |
| dacubuntu | has any1 got realtek soundcard jacks wrkin proeprly? | 07:15 |
| bj_ | i was all excited to hear about the new 900 models..then they go and change the form up | 07:15 |
| dacubuntu | its annoying that i cant use voice chat on ubuntu | 07:15 |
| tv7497 | any one how do you compile an theme engine :) | 07:16 |
| bj_ | but the 700 felt good ...sad really | 07:16 |
| ZLemur | too bad places can't stick with what works. | 07:16 |
| dacubuntu | tv: i would help but i dont know what u mean by theme engine | 07:16 |
| bj_ | sheesh, i know, it was just a screen upgrade | 07:16 |
| MrPocknix_ | Whats the command to show all the running processes and what they're running at? | 07:16 |
| bj_ | and processor... | 07:16 |
| negge | MrPocknix_: top | 07:16 |
| bj_ | top | 07:16 |
| MrPocknix_ | thanks brak | 07:16 |
| bj_ | you could certainly load up eeeBuntu on an SD card | 07:17 |
| ZLemur | i don't want it -on- the sd card | 07:17 |
| tv7497 | dacubuntu: sir i just downloaded a gtk2 theme from gnome.org and tried to install it in theme manager but it gives an error like you need to compile theme engine | 07:18 |
| bj_ | well 2GB is tight | 07:18 |
| ZLemur | i want to install -from- the sd card. i'm concerned that it won't fit on the 2g though | 07:18 |
| bj_ | I think a basic desktop install is around 3 | 07:18 |
| ZLemur | ick | 07:18 |
| bj_ | well, you can get anything to fit...it would just take more effort | 07:18 |
| ZLemur | any really tiny alternatives that'd get me basic functionality? something easy to install, though - i'm very very much a linux newbie | 07:19 |
| bj_ | someone got vista all shrunk down | 07:19 |
| bj_ | well the eeeBuntu would be the best b/c it has all the packaged in drivers for everything | 07:19 |
| tv7497 | anyone even dacubuntu left the room :( | 07:19 |
| ZLemur | last 3 times i tried to install/learn something bout linux, i had coinsidental hardware failures. woulda thought linux caused them i i didn't know better | 07:19 |
| bj_ | you should try to install that and just dont put lots of stuff on | 07:19 |
| ZLemur | all i need is pidgin, xchat and ff3 | 07:20 |
| ZLemur | with those 3 apps, i'm happy. | 07:20 |
| bj_ | well, hardware can be an issue b/c manufacturers dont always make working drivers for linux | 07:20 |
| bj_ | so you have ppl reverse engineering things | 07:20 |
| bj_ | and that can get hairy | 07:20 |
| bj_ | I would stick with eeeBuntu, but put xcfe or some other lightweight desktop on it | 07:21 |
| SiegeX | what is the point of the 'clone output' effect? | 07:21 |
| tv7497 | bazhang: sir you there ??? | 07:21 |
| bj_ | what's wrong with the base os on the eee? | 07:21 |
| negge | SiegeX: you get the same picture on both displays | 07:21 |
| bj_ | (don't get me wrong, we are in an ubuntu forum) | 07:22 |
| ZLemur | nothing, really. i just hear good things about eeebuntu | 07:22 |
| SiegeX | negge: ahh its for multi display. Cause on a laptop it just makes a mini-me version of what you are looking at and im like WTF? | 07:22 |
| ZLemur | rumors of performance gains | 07:22 |
| ZLemur | also, i notice that if i wanted xandros without my eee, i'd have to pay. | 07:22 |
| Kelen | ZLemur: enjoin IRC with pidgin is not well.. | 07:22 |
| Kelen | I am think about change to xchat for IRC. | 07:22 |
| Kelen | is there any one know which point will notes for me to do that? | 07:22 |
| negge | SiegeX: it usually needs some finetuning before you get it right. You can't use different asepct ratios on both screens, they have to be the same | 07:22 |
| bj_ | well, if you put eeebuntu on it, you'd be blowing the default os out | 07:23 |
| Kartagis | gstreamer itself doesn't exist. it has to be gstreamer-something to encode in mp3 | 07:23 |
| ZLemur | Kelen, i like xchat far better than pidgin for irc - more functional | 07:23 |
| ZLemur | nod bj_, i expected as much | 07:24 |
| ZLemur | worst case, i can always get xandros back with the cd's that came with the eee. i'd have to borrow an external cd drive though, as i have nothing other than a usb key that has usb connectivity | 07:24 |
| bj_ | if you have another computer, you could do a test run in a virutal environment...check the size | 07:24 |
| Kartagis | !mp3 | 07:25 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 07:25 |
| bj_ | sometimes there is no free format | 07:25 |
| ZLemur | a good idea. might look into that when i get home from work and have some time to learn what a virtual environment technically is and how to use it | 07:25 |
| bj_ | download 'VirtualBox', download the eeeBuntu iso and fire it up | 07:26 |
| klattrup | Anyone that happen to have time to help a newbie to Ubuntu ? :) | 07:26 |
| bj_ | it'll launch a little virtual computer which you won't have to worry about messing up | 07:26 |
| kcormier | klattrup: what you need? | 07:26 |
| ZLemur | ok, i'll give that a shot. Virtual Box sounds vaguely familiar. i think i've seen it in passing in my many google searches | 07:26 |
| ZLemur | that's awesome | 07:27 |
| bj_ | it's free :) | 07:27 |
| ZLemur | even better! | 07:27 |
| bj_ | I know! | 07:27 |
| === eht is now known as Weasel[DK] | ||
| ZLemur | definitely going to do that. hopefully if it's small enough i can get it installed via sd card | 07:27 |
| klattrup | I've been told that Beryl gives alot of custumizable options, and ive used the SPM to get it and install it, but i can't seem to figuere out where the hell i find it / open it so i can configuere it :P | 07:27 |
| ZLemur | could be half a meg, but if i can't install from sd card, it's no good to me | 07:27 |
| bj_ | if you don't have access to an external cd-rom...I would wait about trying to install anything else | 07:28 |
| bj_ | (you might want your Xandros back :) | 07:28 |
| ZLemur | good poitn | 07:28 |
| ZLemur | point, rather. perhaps i can wrangle up a used one some place | 07:29 |
| luke_ | how to install wine...? | 07:29 |
| bj_ | but knock yourself out with VirtualBox...it's like a computer sandbox | 07:29 |
| negge | luke_: sudo apt-get install wine | 07:29 |
| ZLemur | sounds like a ton of fun, actually | 07:29 |
| luke_ | thax | 07:29 |
| ZLemur | good educational tool, too. can play with and get used tocommands without risking anything | 07:30 |
| bj_ | yep | 07:30 |
| === linux_ is now known as Linux[1] | ||
| luke_ | i'm a stanger here~~ | 07:30 |
| amirman84 | is there a way to open a specific GUI app via commandline to make it use a different gnome theme than the one that is set as default. ? | 07:30 |
| Linux[1] | hy ppl | 07:30 |
| alan_m | luke_: heres a hint, when you want to install ANYTHING in ubuntu you can fire up a terminal and type in the command "sudo apt-get packagename" | 07:30 |
| ZLemur | heres a stupid question: | 07:30 |
| Stormx2 | alan_m: sudo apt-get install packagename | 07:30 |
| the | network expert please | 07:30 |
| Linux[1] | i have a problem whit verlihub and mysql can enyone help me :) | 07:30 |
| alan_m | Stormx2: oops, yeah that was a typo | 07:30 |
| ZLemur | is it possible to eschew a gui to save resources except to use apps? | 07:31 |
| luke_ | i'll try.. | 07:31 |
| ZLemur | like just use console to do everything that the apps don't. | 07:31 |
| the | luke_: I still cant connect to my home server | 07:31 |
| alan_m | luke_: follow Stormx2's advice, I messed up, mines invalid. | 07:31 |
| Stormx2 | !wine | luke_ | 07:31 |
| ubottu | luke_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 07:31 |
| Linux[1] | someone have some verlihub's mysql tables :D | 07:31 |
| ZLemur | i imagine it's all tied together, but you never know. | 07:31 |
| Stormx2 | the: What's the problem you're having? | 07:32 |
| bj_ | it is true GUIs or rather the window manager needs resources...you won't be able to run all programs or alternatives in a terminal | 07:32 |
| luke_ | my english is poor... | 07:32 |
| SiegeX | bi-linear filtering is sorta like anti-aliasing? | 07:32 |
| the | Stirmx2 : cant connect to my home server from outside | 07:32 |
| SiegeX | in respect to compiz | 07:32 |
| alan_m | luke_: so is my memory, but we can all help out in here :) | 07:32 |
| ZLemur | i don't meant to run it inside a terminal | 07:32 |
| Stormx2 | the: What kind of server? | 07:32 |
| bj_ | running things in a terminal will *free* up the hassle of handling it in a window | 07:32 |
| amirman84 | ZLemur: you should look into fluxbox | 07:32 |
| the | ubuntu | 07:33 |
| Linux[1] | the you have instaled ssh ? | 07:33 |
| Stormx2 | luke_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine <-- follow these instructions | 07:33 |
| ZLemur | fluxbox, eh? i'll google it | 07:33 |
| ZLemur | thanks amirman84 | 07:33 |
| bj_ | Xubuntu uses fluxbox | 07:33 |
| mgsloan | I'm trying to get xinerama to work, with fglrx.. in Xorg.0.log I get this: | 07:33 |
| mgsloan | (WW) fglrx(0): More than one displays are connected,so clone mode is enabled | 07:33 |
| luke_ | ok | 07:33 |
| bj_ | or rather a cousin of it | 07:33 |
| amirman84 | bj_: Xubuntu uses XFCE not fluxbox | 07:33 |
| the | Stirmx2 : ii libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries | 07:33 |
| bj_ | I just corrected myself | 07:33 |
| ZLemur | what i'm looking to do is free up resoures used to have fancy icons and a desktop and a task bar etc etc | 07:33 |
| alan_m | ill be back tomorrow :) | 07:33 |
| Stormx2 | libc isn't a server *sigh* | 07:33 |
| bj_ | try Xubuntu...that is XFCE + Ubuntu | 07:34 |
| Stormx2 | the, what are you trying to run? an HTTP server? A MySQL server? P2P server? Samba server? What? | 07:34 |
| mgsloan | so, erm, how do I get fglrx to decide to run in something other than clone mode? | 07:34 |

| the | Stirmx2 : only ssh | 07:34 |
| amirman84 | ZLemur: gnome and kde both include a window manager and a desktop environment. fluxbox is just a window manager and can run on its own without a desktop environment which makes it super light that way | 07:34 |

| dmsuperman_ | I'm trying to share some folders using samba (with the Shared Folders dialog). However, any file/folder or link to a file/folder on my /media/Media drive doesn't show up within the dialog. They work everywhere else, but not that particular dialog. | 07:43 |
| still_here | Rat409: thanks. i'll check it out. | 07:43 |
| dmsuperman_ | even typing in /media/Media gives me an empty file list area | 07:44 |
| bj_ | can you see anything over samba? | 07:44 |
| ZLemur | evidently fluxbuntu is only 1.3gb installed | 07:44 |
| bj_ | ooo barely | 07:45 |
| amirman84 | ZLemur: it's made to be as lightweight and functional as possible | 07:45 |
| bj_ | basic gdm like gnome or kde run you around 3GB | 07:45 |
| dmsuperman_ | I can see all my own directories, except those from /media/Media and symlinks to /media/Media folders don't show up | 07:45 |
| ZLemur | i wager i can remove the default browser and replace with ff3 to help ease that hit to disk space | 07:45 |
| dmsuperman_ | bj_, but I can also see other windows shares here | 07:45 |
| dmsuperman_ | and save them as well | 07:45 |
| bj_ | is /media/Media your root? | 07:45 |
| ZLemur | no | 07:45 |
| ZLemur | oh, dur. | 07:45 |
| bj_ | so you see it, but no file? | 07:46 |
| ZLemur | how about i read more than just what bj_ says in case he's talking to someone else.... | 07:46 |
| dmsuperman_ | bj_, no, a secondary storage drive | 07:46 |
| luke_ | wine is amazing... i've already installed foorbar in my ubuntu.... | 07:46 |
| dmsuperman_ | bj_, I can see it just fine everywhere. Nautilus, open dialogs, command prompt | 07:46 |
| Kartagis | <muerr> Kartagis, you need to have an mp3 encoding library installed on your system. <--- what is the package name? | 07:46 |
| dmsuperman_ | bj_, it all works flawlessly. The shared folders dialog, however, will not open anything inside the Media dir | 07:46 |
| dmsuperman_ | bj_, it doesn't show any files or folders existing inside it | 07:46 |
| bj_ | do other computers see it as a share? | 07:46 |
| Kartagis | apt-get says gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is already the latest | 07:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | bj_, I can't share it, that's what I'm trying to do now | 07:47 |
| bj_ | you could try mounting somewhere else...it might just be a permissions issue | 07:47 |
| dmsuperman_ | but why would it work in every single place, in every single application, except for shared folders dialog. Even when I change the type to NFS it still doesn't show up, so the dialog is wonky | 07:48 |
| luke_ | i installed foorbar .....but it can't work...who can help me ... | 07:49 |
| bj_ | there was an error in the dialog--or gnome rather | 07:49 |

| ajhtiredwolf | Hey I am having trouble. I am trying to dual boot windows xp and ubuntu. If i had both hard drives connected while trying to install it wouldnt work. I had to install ubuntu. unplugged that hard drive, then installed xp. now i tried to do - root (hd0,0) - setup (hd0) but i get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition | 07:51 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Yes, I was wondering if anyone had heard of somthing similar for Ubuntu. ;) | 07:51 |
| tmapj | does anyone know how to exit full screen mode in virtual box? | 07:51 |
| wolfwalker | Seras_Ubuntu Yup. Retrieving link, one moment. | 07:51 |
| still_here | bj: gcc.org is a community church! | 07:52 |
| amirman84 | Seras_Ubuntu: it's called medibuntu | 07:52 |

| dmsuperman_ | bj_, alright, It's also happening to another partition. Both are NTFS partitions, but both are mounted with ntfs-3g. Any clues? | 07:52 |
| ZLemur | bj_, amirman84 - thanks for all your help. i've got a lot more to think about now. i appreciate it | 07:52 |

| bj_ | np | 07:52 |
| wolfwalker | Included in that list of stuff to do is getting a lot of codecs for GStreamer. | 07:53 |
| micahcowan | still_here, if you want to install gcc on Ubuntu, just "apt-get install" it. ...but you actually ant "apt-get install build-essential" | 07:53 |
| tmapj | does anyone know how to exit full screen mode in virtual box? | 07:53 |
| amirman84 | s_spiff: it's a repo that hosts a bunch of non-free codecs that arent available from ubuntu's repos | 07:53 |

| wolfwalker | Mind you, some of the stuff in that list of things to do I didn't do. I have no use for RealPlayer or the docking bar for example. | 07:53 |
| micahcowan | still_here, you can also use the Synaptic package manager | 07:53 |
| tmapj | ok thanks amirman84 | 07:54 |
| still_here | micahcowan: i do not have internet connection at home, so i should install it manually | 07:54 |
| amirman84 | tmapj: i meant the right ctrl | 07:54 |
| Kartagis | I've got gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly the latest version and I still can't choose mp3 encoding in sound-juicer | 07:54 |

| Seras_Ubuntu | Wolkfwalker: Eww, I've no use for RealMedia either. ;) | 07:54 |
| micahcowan | still_here, oh. Well.... you're almost certainly going to need more than just gcc. The libc headers, make, a few other things... see what the build-essential meta-package depends on, and get those. | 07:54 |

| amirman84 | ajhtiredwolf: what's the problem? | 07:56 |
| the | bye | 07:56 |
| wolfwalker | Seras_Ubuntu Be sure to put your repositories in order first though, and enable medibuntu. Otherwise your computer won't even know what you are talking about when you tell it to get those restricted codecs. | 07:56 |
| the | ubuntu still cant solve my problem | 07:56 |

| bj_ | the best way I have found to do XP+Linux is to let XP handle the bootstrap | 07:58 |

| ZLemur | http://ronnietucker.co.uk/blog/asus-eee-701-notebook-with-puppy-linux/ | 08:46 |

| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: right, but right now it isnt going to grub, its going ot the windows xp boot loader | 08:46 |

| blue-frog | hans-solo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP all explained | 08:56 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, you dont need to change an existing one, you can just add a new entry | 08:56 |
| c0mp13371331337 | BLKDVL[a]: How did you install it? Did you download an .iso file and burn it to CD? | 08:56 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, but please make a backup of your menu.lst config file, and if it screws up, boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD and copy it back | 08:57 |
| amoeba | hans-solo, use sudo, or open a root terminal | 08:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: im actually reading this from a backup i already made ;) | 08:57 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, good :) | 08:57 |
| BLKDVL[a] | c0mp13371331337: yes, I downloaded an .iso file, burned it to a CD, and then installed it on my other computer | 08:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: I am in the live cd right now, can i not edit grub? | 08:57 |
| amoeba | ajhtiredwolf, no. cdr | 08:58 |
| c0mp13371331337 | What's the name of the .iso file? Or better yet, do you still have the link where to downloaded it from? | 08:58 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, sure you, can just type "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 08:58 |
| amoeba | smallfoot-, will only change it in memory if he's running live | 08:59 |
| smallfoot- | amoeba, hmm oh yes true | 08:59 |
| BLKDVL[a] | c0mp13371331337: ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso | 08:59 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, mount your Ubntu partition from the LiveCD | 08:59 |
| MrKeuner | anybody having oo.org lock ups after recent oo.org update? hardy here | 08:59 |
| amoeba | BLKDVL[a], server doesn'[t have a window manager | 08:59 |
| amoeba | BLKDVL[a], you want desktop | 08:59 |
| c0mp13371331337 | BLKDVL[a]: Ah yes, you installed the server version. | 09:00 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, and edit /media/yourubuntupartiiton/boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: i will just disconnect xp drive and boot into ubuntu and do it from there | 09:00 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, yeah, you can do that too | 09:00 |
| c0mp13371331337 | BLKDVL[a]: You can easily install the GUI by typing 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' | 09:00 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, its always good how to know it from the LiveCD too, so that you can fix it, if it would break | 09:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: just to make sure i understand, i should just copy an existing option and change only root (hd1,4) right? | 09:00 |
| smallfoot- | ya | 09:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: and then only that option will show up right? | 09:01 |
| smallfoot- | yeah | 09:01 |
| grendal_prime | grrrr bash..its making me crazy | 09:01 |
| BLKDVL[a] | c0mp13371331337: I'll try that, thanks | 09:01 |
| c0mp13371331337 | BLKDVL[a]: Or alternatively, if you'd rather not have all the fancy web-server stuff installed, you can download the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso file and install fresh. Completely up to you. | 09:01 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: hmm i am thinking that windows vista wont work then, it wont be on hd0,2 anymore | 09:01 |
| ajhtiredwolf | smallfoot-: i dont think windows vista will work if it thinks it is on hd1,2 | 09:01 |
| amoeba | can't wait til they get hot plugging to docking stations fixed.. having to xrandr everytime to switch to external dual monitors and disable laptop screen is annoying | 09:02 |
| smallfoot- | ajhtiredwolf, well you can add menu.lst or boot.ini and add a entry for Vista too | 09:02 |
| amoeba | ajhtiredwolf, yup. install windows first, then ubuntu. | 09:02 |
| BLKDVL[a] | c0mp13371331337: I'll try it with the web-server stuff, gives me more fun things to play with :) | 09:02 |
| hans-solo | amoeba: how can I edit a text file in terminal? | 09:02 |
| amoeba | smallfoot-, it's a thing with Vista, not grub | 09:02 |
| smallfoot- | hans-solo, "nano textfile.txt" | 09:02 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: i did, with vista, but then i found out that vista doesnt run the programs i need so i had to install xp third | 09:02 |
| smallfoot- | amoeba, oh, i dont know, i dont use vista | 09:03 |
| c0mp13371331337 | BLKDVL[a]: Excellent choice. Enjoy! ;-) | 09:03 |
| JoCo | Can someone help me, I installed NVIDIA driver for my 9600 GT which were working great for 2 days until I rebooted, and now the NVIDIA splah shows up still right before GNOME login and the card's fan slows down which shows the drivers are partially working, but I cannot do anything on the desktop that uses the graphics card. Any fixes to this? | 09:03 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: hmm im thinking that this will let me boot xp, but then no longer vista | 09:03 |
| Aryan__ | ubuntu 9 released? | 09:03 |
| amoeba | ajhtiredwolf, the correct order is XP, vista, ubuntu | 09:04 |
| GibbaTheHutt | JoCo, did you install them through a package manager, or direct from nvidia ? | 09:04 |
| amoeba | ajhtiredwolf, don't ask. | 09:04 |
| smallfoot- | Aryan__, 8.10 is in octoboer | 09:04 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: yes thats what i figured, but cant do that now | 09:04 |
| Aryan__ | k | 09:04 |
| smallfoot- | Aryan__, ubuntu 9.04 is in april 2009 | 09:04 |
| c0mp13371331337 | JoCo: They just recently updated the kernel, I'd probably reinstall the drivers so you've got modules for the new kernel. Unless you're just using the NVIDIA drivers from the repos. But I downloaded them from NVIDIA and have to reinstall each time there's a kernel update. | 09:04 |
| JoCo | GibbaTheHutt: Through NVIDIA. | 09:04 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: but i wont be able to get all 3 working at the same time with this current config? | 09:04 |
| Chrysalis | where do i look to find out whats the device for alsa | 09:04 |
| GibbaTheHutt | you may need to recompile the drivers I'm thinking as there were some kernel updates recently I think | 09:04 |
| MrKeuner | Aryan__: that should be fedora you are looking for | 09:04 |
| Aryan__ | whats the difference b/w ubuntu and debian ? | 09:05 |
| GibbaTheHutt | I have to do it every so often | 09:05 |
| amoeba | JoCo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg will take your xorg.conf back to plain vanilla.. then once done, do nvidia-settings | 09:05 |
| JoCo | c0mp13371331337: Ahhhh that's probably it I noticed the new kernel in my grub menu at startup but I really don't know what that means | 09:05 |
| smallfoot- | Aryan__, ubuntu is easier to use, debian has more strict free software rules, etc | 09:05 |
| blue-frog | hans-solo: obviously you haven't read the page I gave you by link otherwise you wouldn't have asked how to edit a text file in aterminal | 09:05 |
| amoeba | Chrysalis, lspci | 09:05 |
| Aryan__ | mandriva is also easy? | 09:05 |
| smallfoot- | Aryan__, yes mandriva and opensuse is also easy | 09:06 |
| Aryan__ | ;) | 09:06 |
| Aryan__ | but i luv ubuntu :D | 09:06 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: is it possible? | 09:06 |
| smallfoot- | yeah, ubuntu is really popular | 09:07 |
| smallfoot- | and it works alright for me | 09:07 |
| c0mp13371331337 | amoeba: I thought they officially removed display support from the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command? When I first installed Hardy and was having display issues, I remember trying that and it only gave me the basic options for keyboard, mouse, etc. | 09:07 |
| amoeba | ajhtiredwolf, yes, just a pain in the ass | 09:07 |
| Aryan__ | it works on PPC also :) | 09:07 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: ah, so its going to be pretty complicated? | 09:07 |
| amoeba | c0mp13371331337, $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 09:07 |
| amoeba | xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration | 09:07 |
| amoeba | file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080619005740 | 09:07 |
| amoeba | works for me | 09:07 |

| c0mp13371331337 | LOL | 09:08 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Well played.... | 09:08 |
| hans-solo | blue-frog>most of the commands give errors | 09:08 |
| hans-solo | * (nautilus:8018): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported | 09:08 |
| blue-frog | hans-solo: which one for example? | 09:08 |
| Shadow420 | hans-solo most commands need other info | 09:09 |
| hans-solo | sudo nautilus | 09:09 |
| c0mp13371331337 | I'd say that was the equivalent of a digital fragging. | 09:09 |
| blue-frog | hans-solo: if sudo nautilus gives you an error, you have a bigger probelm. what is the error message? | 09:09 |
| amoeba | hans-solo, sudo=switch user do (most people mistakenly think it's super user do) which runs commands with other rights/privs | 09:10 |
| hans-solo | amoeba>"(most people mistakenly think it's super user do) which runs commands with other rights/privs" I don;t even know what these commands do | 09:11 |
| hans-solo | so I don't do much thinking | 09:11 |
| FAJALOU | i cannot get opera to load | 09:11 |
| hans-solo | I just want the webserver to start working so I can get back to working on the XP environment | 09:11 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: i have an idea, do you think that as long as i kept some entrys for ubuntu as hd(0,4) and then another as hd(1,4) then i could just change the boto priority, so when the first hard drive has priority it will be hd(0,4) for ubuntu and vista, then when i change the boot priority for windows xp it will boot xp instead of vista/ubuntu hard drive? | 09:11 |
| amoeba | hans-solo, linux has a steep learning curve initially but is amazingly worhtwhile once you get the hang of it | 09:12 |
| === _max is now known as max` | ||
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: if you are playing with your drive boot order, I'd advise against it. Also he core to using grub is what grub knows about, look at /boot/grub/device.map | 09:12 |
| amoeba | ajhtiredwolf, might work. problem is Vista's TCPM roots and insiting on running a protected kernel space which is tied into the boot sector setup | 09:12 |
| ntolo | Am trying to start apache2 server and it says "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName".Any help would be appreciated | 09:12 |
| hans-solo | amoeba: thank you so much. I do appreciate all the help. But I have a life to live and bills to pay. wish i had the time to stay and compile drivers and learn to write scripts. | 09:13 |
| hans-solo | can someone help me with changing the directory of the apache server please.. | 09:13 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: cant at the moment, in love cd | 09:13 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: what do you mean change the directory ? | 09:13 |
| amoeba | hans-solo, you want to move your apache installation to a different directory? | 09:13 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: mount your file system if your in a livecd | 09:13 |
| hans-solo | i want to edit apache2.conf | 09:14 |
| amoeba | hans-solo, sudo cp /path/to/apache /the/new/location | 09:14 |
| amoeba | ah | 09:14 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: it sounds liek to get them working its going to be too hard for me >_<. did you see earlier my explanation of my setup? | 09:14 |
| amoeba | hans-solo, sudo nano apache2.conf | 09:14 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: ok, so /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 09:14 |
| hans-solo | sudo nano apache2.conf opens an empty window | 09:15 |
| ikonia | amoeba: do not suggest copying apache around like that, it will break his package manager | 09:15 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: no I didn't, I was just making a passing comment | 09:15 |
| hans-solo | does anyone have a clue as to what I want to do? | 09:15 |
| Nurionn | hans-solo: you have to write the path to this file | 09:15 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: you want to edit your httpd.conf file, thats in /etc/apache2 | 09:15 |
| hans-solo | I just wnat to edit the existing apache2.conf file | 09:16 |
| hans-solo | i do not want to compile or write any new webserver | 09:16 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: linux vista on one hard drive, when plug in xp hard drive changes linux/vista hard drive to hd1 so have to change everything in tehre to hd1, which will make vista not work because it needs to be hd0 | 09:16 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: ok, thats in /etc/apache2 also | 09:16 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: just leave all disks plugged in and let grub manage your booting | 09:16 |
| amoeba | ikonia, he wants to but he's running into issues with Vista/xp/linux co-existing. Vista boot manager supercedes grub | 09:17 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: heres the problem, if all the disks are plugged in, then the disk that has vista and linux becomes hd1 right? if vista is on hd1 and not 0 then it wont load, vista has to be on hd0 | 09:17 |
| rnartos | how can I install acrobat reader in ubuntu 8.04?? | 09:17 |
| c0nfl|ct | ora bom dia | 09:17 |
| rnartos | I tried synaptic but no acroread there | 09:17 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: thats nonsens, I boot vista on a system where it is on the 3rd disk | 09:17 |
| c0mp13371331337 | rnartos: Ubuntu has a built-in PDF viewer. | 09:17 |
| amoeba | ikonia, suggested he install in proper order to fix (vista, xp, then linux) so grub works but he wants to do it dirty | 09:17 |
| c0mp13371331337 | rnartos: Evince, I believe it's called | 09:18 |
| amoeba | ikonia, external disks | 09:18 |
| ikonia | amoeba: so ? | 09:18 |
| rnartos | c0mp13371331337: but how can I install Adobe acrobat reader in ubuntu ?? | 09:18 |
| hans-solo | can someone please tell me how I can edit apache2.conf file to add one line (ONE LINE) | 09:18 |
| geirha | !medibuntu | rnartos | 09:18 |
| ubottu | rnartos: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:18 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: all guides and people in ehre have told me if vista isnt on hd0, it wont load | 09:18 |
| Nurionn | rnartos: why do you need it? | 09:18 |
| ikonia | rnartos: did you not see c0mp13371331337 suggestion | 09:18 |
| j41n | rnartos: if u need acrobat, check their site | 09:19 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: well, vista is not on my primary disk here | 09:19 |
| c0mp13371331337 | rnartos: What does the Adobe Acrobat reader do for you that Evince can't? | 09:19 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: ive tried it, it doesnt work | 09:19 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: ok, thats your opinion | 09:19 |
| amoeba | ikonia, logical partition? | 09:19 |
| ikonia | amoeba: I don't have access to the machine now, but I am reasonably confident it's on a primary partition | 09:20 |
| amoeba | ikonia, and you got it work on a logical non-primary? | 09:20 |
| amoeba | cause you'd be one of the only people in the world | 09:20 |
| ikonia | amoeba: no, it's on a primay | 09:20 |
| * amoeba ex-MS | 09:20 | |
| * ajhtiredwolf has to agree with amoeba | 09:20 | |
| j41n | how can i install a minimal console system of hardy? | 09:20 |
| rnartos | c0mp13371331337: nothing much but I just prefer acrobat reader | 09:21 |
| c0mp13371331337 | j41n: Like the server edition? Without a gui? | 09:21 |
| amoeba | j41n, depends on your idea of minimal. Server is non-gui | 09:21 |
| amoeba | j41n, but not exactly minimal | 09:21 |
| Phobiac | My update to 8.04 from 7.10 is hanging at "setting up libuuid1 (1.40.8-2ubuntu2) .... could not connect to database" What can I do? Is it possible to stop the update and then restart it? | 09:21 |
| j41n | ya.. w/o gui | 09:21 |
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: would like to be able to reinstall, but ive already done so several times and now ive gotten everything configured and working in linux which was no easy task for me :P | 09:21 |
| amoeba | j41n, then server is the way to go. just remove/disable services you don't want | 09:22 |
| Phobiac | Btw it's the server edition, if that changes anything. | 09:22 |
| hans-solo | can someone please tell me how I can edit apache2.conf file. It says I don't have permission | 09:22 |
| === sean is now known as Guest7614 | ||
| ajhtiredwolf | amoeba: do you know how to make it work? or do you just know that its really hard? | 09:22 |
| j41n | i need to get it work smoothly in a 256mb ram system and 2-3 gb hdd space | 09:22 |
| Phobiac | hans-solo: Edit it as root. gksudo gedit file/path/here | 09:22 |
| amoeba | j41n, look at the alternate installer then | 09:22 |
| c0mp13371331337 | hans-solo: sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 09:22 |
| Phobiac | hans-solo: What c0mp said works too if you don't mind cli editing. | 09:23 |
| Nurionn | hans-solo: or if you want do it in console "sudo nano /path/file" | 09:23 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Or if you're using the Run command or some other graphical means, gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 09:23 |
| amoeba | Phobiac, heh, I have to keep remembering to not say 'vi' in place of nano which I've never used | 09:24 |
| Phobiac | I'm pretty sure I can just restart the computer and when it starts up again I'm going to have to sudo dpkg-something but I'm not sure. | 09:24 |
| amoeba | gotta run | 09:24 |
| __ryan__ | pico for life! | 09:24 |
| ajhtiredwolf | darnit.. | 09:24 |
| hans-solo | I typed gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf in the terminal window I don't get the existing file, I get an empty new file | 09:24 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: httpd.conf is empty in ubuntu | 09:25 |
| ajhtiredwolf | well, i think im screwed, its xp or vista -_- | 09:25 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: apache is not configured that way | 09:25 |
| Nurionn | amoeba: I, too, rarely used because I don't like it | 09:25 |
| c0mp13371331337 | hans-solo: Okay, in the terminal, type cd /etc/apache2 | 09:25 |
| ikonia | c0mp13371331337: it's meant to be empty | 09:25 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-04-29 16:39 httpd.conf | 09:25 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Ah, yes, he's editing httpd.conf, I thought it was apache2.conf originally? | 09:26 |
| Phobiac | Phobiac: So does anyone know if restarting the computer halfway through the update will mess it up completely? It's hanging and I can't think of any other option. | 09:26 |
| AnAnt | Hello, what's the kernel option in ubuntu that makes it fast on workstations ? | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AnAnt: there is no "option" | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AnAnt: what are you finding slow ? | 09:26 |
| AnAnt | ikonia: it was something to do with scheduler algorithm I think | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AnAnt: you'll need to be more specific than that | 09:27 |
| Nurionn | hans-solo: if you want to edit files just like in windows, use the command "gksu nautilus" then you are root until you close nautilus! (but be careful there :P) | 09:27 |
| hans-solo | gksu nautilus does not work | 09:27 |
| AnAnt | ikonia: no, I just wanted to put it in a report to management, I remember that back during Dapper, the ubuntu team enabled some scheduling algorithm for the kernel images targetting workstations/laptops to make them faster | 09:27 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Keyboard shortcuts. What is M-\ And M- What is the M key | 09:28 |
| c0mp13371331337 | hans-solo: That should definitely work. Is it giving you an error? | 09:28 |
| hans-solo | ** (nautilus:8376): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported | 09:28 |
| hans-solo | SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS | 09:28 |
| AnAnt | ah, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY ! | 09:28 |
| Phobiac | No one? Great. I guess I'll bite the bullet and just do it. | 09:28 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: thats a warning only | 09:28 |
| AnAnt | I think that was it | 09:28 |
| ikonia | AnAnt: that would make sense, I thought you meant boot option, not configuration parameter | 09:28 |
| c0mp13371331337 | MeVsTheVoices: M = Meta, like the Windows key, I believe. | 09:28 |
| hans-solo | so in reality I have to learn all these commands | 09:29 |
| Nurionn | hans-solo: are you in console only (w/o gui)? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: what commands ? | 09:29 |
| hans-solo | to just listen to an mp3 pr watch a movie | 09:29 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: just open a text editor and edit the file you want | 09:29 |
| hans-solo | how carming | 09:29 |
| hans-solo | charming | 09:29 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo: Err, what? | 09:29 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Ok thank you muchly | 09:29 |
| hans-solo | This sucks | 09:29 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: don't use linux then, | 09:29 |
| c0mp13371331337 | hans-solo: If you're going to be running a webserver in linux, I would HIGHLY advise a general familiarity with the linux command line. | 09:29 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo, no, you such for making stupid assumptions. | 09:29 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: or lean how to use it properly, your choice | 09:29 |
| Stormx2 | suck* | 09:29 |
| blue-frog | hans-solo: if your job is webmaster then pay a network admin to set up your apache | 09:29 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Stormx2: No need for that.... | 09:30 |
| hans-solo | can't find anyone who knows this thing | 09:30 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo, you've installed apache2, I take it? | 09:30 |
| blue-frog | hans-solo: no solo you just don't read and whine | 09:30 |

| hans-solo | I did not say you guys suck I said Linux sucks. | 09:32 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: and thats a very silly comment to make | 09:32 |

| j41n | is there an option to install only the base system in alternate cd? | 09:32 |
| hans-solo | I just want to get the webserver to run | 09:32 |
| hans-solo | and forget about it | 09:32 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: then listen to the support your getting | 09:32 |
| Nurionn | hans-anton: perhaps you should try windows and xampp... | 09:32 |
| Stormx2 | Neither am I. We're volunteers. Everyone here is just helping people because thats what we like doing. No one wants you making stupid and utterly unfounded assumptions. Just because we suggest you do one thing in CLI, doesn't mean that it HAS to be done from command line, or that anything else (e.g. movies, music, from your messages) has to be. | 09:32 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo, Open synaptic. Search for apache2. Right click > Mark for installation. Then press "apply". | 09:33 |
| Stormx2 | Wait for it to install. Bam! webserver. | 09:33 |
| hans-solo | Stormx2>I did that | 09:33 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: ok, so what's the problem then ? | 09:34 |
| hans-solo | there was no Bam and no Webserver | 09:34 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: yes there is, what is the problem ? | 09:34 |
| Stormx2 | So what's the issue? | 09:34 |
| hans-solo | it got stuck and when I rebooted the desktop appeared upside down | 09:34 |
| MrPocknix_ | command to move a file is mv right? | 09:34 |
| ajhtiredwolf | MrPocknix_: yes | 09:34 |
| Stormx2 | MrPocknix_, yep. | 09:34 |
| MrKeuner | hi, when I run openoffice without the -nolockcheck argument openoffice freezes on run. what may be the problem? 2.4.1 on ubuntu hardy, this started after recent oo.org upgrade | 09:34 |
| noih | upside down ? | 09:34 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: "it got stuck" what got stuck ? you rebooted the desktop apeared upsdie down..... | 09:34 |
| hans-solo | so I think maybe these things don't work in safe mode | 09:34 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo: That's a problem with your video card drivers then, not a webserver. | 09:34 |
| hans-solo | okay so what should I fix first | 09:35 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo, are you planning on ONLY running apache or are you doing to use the machine as a desktop too? | 09:35 |
| hans-solo | can I run the webserver without this ubuntu desktop | 09:35 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: sure | 09:35 |
| ajhtiredwolf | yeah, he shouldnt need a gui then | 09:35 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: but you will have to use the command line you hate | 09:35 |
| hans-solo | now we are getting somwhere | 09:36 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo: Yeah. might be worth installing ubuntu-server. You'd need to get used to CLI first, though. | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: he doesn't need to install ubuntu-server | 09:36 |
| Stormx2 | Well | 09:36 |
| Stormx2 | I suppose he could uninstall gnome-desktop | 09:36 |
| hans-solo | shuld I download the server | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: or just disable gdm - thats it | 09:36 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: no | 09:36 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia: You'd still have all the gnome packages cluttering up the place. | 09:36 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: you don't need to install the server version, the desktop version is aimed at home user kit better | 09:36 |
| SiegeX | where can i get the source package that was used to create ubuntu's gsynaptic .deb package? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: so ? | 09:36 |
| hans-solo | should i disable the desktop | 09:37 |
| MrPocknix_ | whats the cmmand to delete a folder? | 09:37 |
| Stormx2 | Waste of space, when you can just install them in one command, wouldn't you say? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | MrPocknix_: rm | 09:37 |
| MrPocknix_ | thankx | 09:37 |
| c0mp13371331337 | MrPocknix_: rmdir | 09:37 |
| zcat[1] | hans-solo: do you like the CLI? | 09:37 |
| hans-solo | is there a chat IRC application in CLI | 09:37 |
| noih | sounds like you've disabled the desktop quiet effectively already | 09:37 |
| andatche | hans-solo: irssi | 09:37 |
| Stormx2 | MrPocknix_: rmdir to delete an empty folder. rm -rf if it's not empty. | 09:37 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: no, I wouldn't the server is not aimed at the desktop kit market | 09:37 |
| c0mp13371331337 | hans-solo: bitchx | 09:37 |
| hans-solo | I can learn | 09:37 |
| ikonia | c0mp13371331337: bitchX is removed from hardy | 09:37 |
| zcat[1] | hans-solo: no, there are several in CLI | 09:37 |
| hans-solo | there is no need to swear | 09:37 |
| MrPocknix_ | kk | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hans-solo: no-one is swearing | 09:37 |
| c0mp13371331337 | ikonia: WHAT??? NOOOO!!!! | 09:37 |
| ajhtiredwolf | hah | 09:37 |
| Stormx2 | hans-solo, bitchx is an IRC client, fyi. | 09:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | and it does whatever you say when you say it | 09:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | its your bitchx | 09:38 |
| ruiboon | SiegeX: apt-get source gsynaptic | 09:38 |
| zcat[1] | he's gone.. | 09:38 |
| Stormx2 | Good riddance. | 09:38 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: thats a pointless comment - don't bother making them | 09:38 |
| SiegeX | ruiboon: ahh, great thanks | 09:38 |
| c0mp13371331337 | LOL Wow, guess he REALLY didn't like the idea of bitchx..... | 09:38 |

| MrPocknix_ | whats the protocall for mounting a drive? | 09:38 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: no - | 09:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: yes | 09:39 |
| MrPocknix_ | disreguard. | 09:39 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: the rules of the channels are clear | 09:39 |
| Stormx2 | MrPocknix_, if you mean command, it'd be "mount" | 09:39 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: sure are | 09:39 |
| zcat[1] | mount /dev/whattomount /path/wheretomountit -o options -t filesystem-type | 09:39 |
| MrPocknix_ | idk, what else would be useful on a cheat sheet? | 09:39 |
| ikonia | MrPocknix_: there is a basic command guide on http://www.tldp.org | 09:40 |
| martyrer | Hi i have a problem with my apache and eAccelerator, i m unable to decode encoded files properly. | 09:40 |
| martyrer | always getting this message: Fatal error: Invalid opcode 60/1/8. in /home/martin/checkout/index.php on line 1 | 09:40 |
| SiegeX | ruiboon: how would I turn that source package into an actual deb? Basically the latest version of gsynaptic via subversion has an option i need, and Id like to use the script already existing to create the .deb for the version that comes with 8.04 and just change the source tarball | 09:40 |
| MrPocknix_ | thanks ikonia | 09:41 |
| Brucevdk | I'm trying to use lsof to find out which process is currently asking a particular file (say the text file 'music' on my desktop).

| ajhtiredwolf | has anyone made a similar mistake to mine in installing a windows os then linux, then a windows os on a different drive, and figured out a way to get it to function? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: yes | 09:44 |
| s_spiff | anyone here using dc++?? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: but it wasn't a mistake, it was an intentional setup | 09:44 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: which order did you do? | 09:45 |
| ruiboon | SiegeX: debuild is use to build a package. you may want to refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete for more info | 09:45 |
| ikonia | I believe on the workstation in question, vista was installed, the Linux, then an XP install, but I can't be %100 certain of the order | 09:45 |
| SiegeX | ruiboon: thanks | 09:45 |
| ruiboon | SiegeX: from what i understand, you are editing some files in the source and then making it into a deb? | 09:45 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: yeah that should be fine as long as xp and vista are on teh same hard drive, however, if vista is on a different hard drive than xp, one of those hard drives will be something other than hd0, and windows wont load on a non hd0 drive :( | 09:46 |
| Stormx2 | Brucevdk: I doubt the editor actually has it "open" in the windows sense. Typically it's read the file and is done with it. It'll occasionally monitor changes but uses a different mechanism. It doesn't lock the file from writing. | 09:46 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: amoeba was talking about some special configuraion you could do to make it function but didnt want to get into it | 09:46 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: nope, XP and vista re on different drives | 09:46 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: you use the chain loader to resolve issues | 09:46 |
| ikonia | and the grub "map" command | 09:47 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: hmm that i didnt get into | 09:47 |
| Nurionn | kewlfuzz: can you see contents of your video folder in console? | 09:47 |
| pop3000 | can i install ubuntu on an intel pentium3 with a 64 mb memory. | 09:47 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: i see a command for hiding a drive so that one can replace it, but this command looks like it has to be done every time you want to switch instead of having all os's optional in grub | 09:47 |
| MrPocknix_ | there isn't a command in ubuntu to see which machines are on a LAN are there? | 09:48 |
| Brucevdk | Stormx2: oh yeah, that's true (though I'm not quite sure what this 'windows' is you talk about). How would one go about finding out what process are writing to a file then? The command 'inotifywatch' doesn't show which process does the read/writing/deleting etc. | 09:48 |
| MrPocknix_ | like a client list? | 09:48 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: nope | 09:48 |
| Stormx2 | Brucevdk: One moment | 09:48 |
| kewlfuzz | nurionn: lemme check in console whats the cmd? | 09:49 |
| Stormx2 | Brucevdk: I heard a long time ago that bonobo-server keeps track of file changes. Maybe that'd be a good way to find out, but lots of apps do it differently. Some will use bonobo, some won't. | 09:49 |
| Nurionn | kewlfuzz: ls /path/to/video -oa | 09:49 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: lets say currently, xp is on a seperate drive, and its hd0,0. Then the grub config is currently set to load windows as hd0,3 and linux as hd0,4 so i have to change those to 1,3 and 1,4 but when i do that vista will be 1,3 and wont load. you nkow a way to work around that? | 09:49 |
| pop3000 | hello. is it possible for me to insall ubuntu on a pentium 3 system with a 64mb ram? | 09:50 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: the seperate drive should not be hd0 | 09:50 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: actually, sorry, I see what your saying | 09:50 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: it looks like you simpley need to reconfigure grub to the correct partitions and use a map command at worst | 09:51 |
| ajhtiredwolf | reconfigure grub to the correct partitions as in changing them to 1,3 and 1,4? | 09:51 |
| ikonia | pop3000: you won't get a usable desktop with that | 09:51 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: reconfigure grub to the correct partitions as in changing them to 1,3 and 1,4? | 09:51 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: reconfigure grub to the correct partitions targets for the OS's you want to boot | 09:52 |
| s_spiff | guys.. how do i use this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34903 dc++ client? does this get installed or what? | 09:52 |
| ghostlines | can anyone print in greyscale with evince? | 09:52 |
| Brucevdk | Stormx2: I guess it's worth looking in to it. I just assumed there'd be some generic functionality to achieve this (such as inotify). | 09:52 |
| ikonia | s_spiff: there is a version od dc++ in the ubuntu software repo's | 09:52 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: right so that would be linux on hd1,4 and vista hd1,3 and xp hd0,0 | 09:52 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: ok | 09:52 |
| erUSUL | pop3000: with so low ram i would try some specific distros like puppy linux or dsl | 09:53 |
| s_spiff | ikonia: i know.. but when I try to download from hubs hosted on oDC... it doesn't work.. and trying odc or dc++ on wine really sucks! | 09:53 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: i "THINK" grub will load once i do that, hwoever i installed windows xp second so im not sure if it will over take grub in the boot loader | 09:53 |
| erUSUL | s_spiff: java -jar javadc.jar | 09:53 |

| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: over take grub in the boot loader ????? what ???? grub is either on you rmaster boot record....or not | 09:53 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: its that simple/black and white | 09:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: but does windows xp install its boot loader there too? | 09:54 |
| s_spiff | erUSUL: thanks.. figured it out.. its up and running.. have to test it now :( | 09:54 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: where ? | 09:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: MBR | 09:54 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: yes of course it will | 09:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: alright so then will it replace grub? | 09:54 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: yes, so you'll need to re-apply gruvb | 09:55 |
| Bizzeh | it stores its boot record int he mbr, not the loader | 09:55 |
| ikonia | grub | 09:55 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: alright, so should i do that first? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: if you want to use grub - yes | 09:55 |

| === c0mp13371331337 is now known as c0mp13371331337_ | ||
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: probably because it's booting from the "xp" harddriver and thats where grub is on the mbr | 09:56 |

| === c0mp13371331337_ is now known as c0mp13371331337 | ||
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: hmm, then how is it able to load when the xp hard drive is not plugged in? | 09:57 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: you said grub doesn't load if the XP disk is not in | 09:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | noooo sorry | 09:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: if it ISNT Pluggged in only then will it load | 09:57 |
| MrKeuner | hi, when I run openoffice without the -nolockcheck argument openoffice freezes on run. what may be the problem? 2.4.1 on ubuntu hardy, this started after recent oo.org upgrade | 09:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: if it IS plugged in then the xp boot loader loads | 09:57 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: ahh, ok, so if it's plugged in, the boot order is booting from the XP disk first | 09:58 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: correct | 09:58 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: if its not plugged in, it's not there so goes to the next disk, which is your grub one | 09:58 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: yep | 09:58 |
| PrimoTurbo | erUSUL: I like UrbanTerror also, probally should go download it. But I want to play CS 1.6... | 09:58 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: is that surprising to you ? | 09:58 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: does that mean i need to replace the xp boot loader in the MBR on the xp hard drive? | 09:59 |
| erUSUL | PrimoTurbo: CS is not native so some issues are expected imho but never played any games on wine | 09:59 |
| Peps | Hi, help please ! I broke my gnome configuration (starting kde4) and I don't have my toolbars, and I can't do alt+F2 | 09:59 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: you need to a.) make your primary boot disk a static disk so that it doesn't change if you plug it in / remove it b.) put the boot loader on that disk c.) configure grub with your OS boot partitions | 09:59 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: and i would put it on by doing root (hd0,1) and then setup (hd0) right? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: no, that depends on your device map as I said earlier, more so as you've changed the disks since grub was installed | 10:01 |
| PrimoTurbo | yeah wine kind sucks for games | 10:01 |
| ninjabuntu | Primoturbo: What would you recomend then? | 10:01 |
| c0mp13371331337 | PrimoTurbo: Depends on the game, the older it is, the better it'll work for the most part. | 10:01 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: well as of now xp is on hd0,0 which is where i need grub right? | 10:01 |
| Bizzeh | cedega is a payware wine, that has a more advanced directx emulation.. most games run better on it | 10:02 |
| PrimoTurbo | yeah true, but cs 1.6 is pretty old and wine can't run steam all that well or even starcraft or warcaft | 10:02 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: I don't know if your listening to what I'm saying, no, it depends on your device map as you've changed the disk layout since grub was installed | 10:02 |
| Nurionn | c0mp13371331337: sure - WoW works fine! ;) | 10:02 |
| ajhtiredwolf | PrimoTurbo: i used to be able to run Jedi Academy until i got the latest wine >_< | 10:02 |
| PrimoTurbo | I'm looking for a lightweight graphical process manager any ideas? No top or anything want it to be graphical using openbox... | 10:02 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Wine support has a sweetspot that's around Windows 98 in terms of game support. More of the games I had from Win98 run well in wine than any other windows version. | 10:02 |
| PrimoTurbo | u mean wine 1.0? | 10:02 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ikonia: i guess i dont know what you mean by device map then, im trying to pay attention to what your saying | 10:02 |
| PrimoTurbo | Jedi Academy is based on Quake3? there is no native client? sucks... | 10:03 |
| PrimoTurbo | I find that Quake2 in wine runs better then native, native port is horrible | 10:03 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: I told you at the very start your /boot/grub/device.map maps hard disks to grub reference names, as your XP disk wasn't in place when grub was insalled that file will determain how the disks are seen | 10:03 |
| erUSUL | PrimoTurbo: htop into an xterm is pretty nice | 10:03 |
| ajhtiredwolf | PrimoTurbo: it used to install fine and run fine, i dont think i needed any extra configuration, this was on fedora core 5 | 10:03 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Nurionn: Sure, there are current games that work fine, but they're pretty few and far between. Ever tried Crysis? Or Assasin's Creed? Those and a few others are the only reason I have an XP partition. | 10:03 |
| ikonia | ajhtiredwolf: you may need to update that file | 10:03 |
| PrimoTurbo | i want a seperate graphical one | 10:04 |
| PrimoTurbo | no top or htop | 10:04 |
| Nurionn | c0mp13371331337: I know that -> I've XP for "Battle for Middle-Earth" and some others... | 10:04 |
| ninjabuntu | I've been looking for a way to play Prey. I figured with the Doom3 Engine already able to be ported Native Prey should be around the corner, but i've been reading and it seem no dice, So what do I use for prey? | 10:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | i will have to work on this more later, it is 2 am | 10:05 |

| gordonjcp | ninjabuntu: or whatever the setup program is called | 10:13 |
| newbee617 | guys, i | 10:13 |
| ninjabuntu | ok BRB | 10:13 |
| __ryan__ | you don't even have to put the login@ip if you don't want | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | Nitricacid: at least "ssh host", I usually specify port with "-p" | 10:14 |
| __ryan__ | but the ssh -l login yourlogin | 10:14 |
| __ryan__ | helps | 10:14 |

| gordonjcp | ninjabuntu: did you go into the directory with the setup file? | 10:16 |
| Stormx2 | ninjabuntu: You need to use "setup.exe" not "setu.exe" | 10:16 |

| Chrysalis | a bug with mpd and alsa let me take a little closer look at alsa and then i realized alsa is using 5-10% of my cpu when its on no matter through which program, switching to OSS in every program cpu usage goes down to less then 1%. . . i spent some time googling around and it seems its something with alsa authentication thats causing the problems. . . has anyone else experienced this or has an idea if i am in the right track on fixing it | 11:05 |

| Miglow | good afternoon | 11:47 |
| Miglow | are there any experienced ubuntu users here? | 11:47 |
| Miglow | I am running into a problem firing up Hardy Heron | 11:47 |
| clockswork | I've been using it for a year... | 11:47 |
| clockswork | whats that? | 11:48 |
| c0mp13371331337 | What's going on Miglow? | 11:48 |
| Miglow | I first installed it into Windows | 11:48 |
| obione | hey guys, need a litle help ... I'm looking 4 a program to read more than a thousand of papers where there are cross's 4 statistical | 11:48 |
| k1dugar | Ronnie_PC1: I have read the link and also google for more but I can't solution for my problem. UFW does not all me to see and access network computer. if I disable it then everything workks fine. But I want to use UFW and I know I need to allow some port to solve it but I don't know which and what's the right way | 11:48 |
| obione | don't know if you got it ..... | 11:48 |
| Miglow | but today I decided it works fine, so I installed it with the automatic installer | 11:49 |
| Miglow | Now, after a reboot it asks me for a username/password | 11:49 |
| Edante | guys anyone knows how to make work World Of Warcraft game on Kubuntu? | 11:49 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | k1dugar: at my onw computer i installed firestarted, its a bit outdated, but maybe it will owrk | 11:49 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | firestarter* | 11:49 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Miglow: You didn't set a username and password during the install? | 11:49 |
| Miglow | No, the install ran automatically | 11:50 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Edante: Have you installed Wine? | 11:50 |
| clockswork | I dont think you installed it right | 11:50 |
| clockswork | Miglow, Inorder to even use Ubuntu you need your username and password wich you should have entered if you installed Ubuntu correctly | 11:50 |
| k1dugar | Ronnie_PC1: I have used firestarter but I need UFW to also work bcoz its true ubuntu package | 11:51 |
| Miglow | what it does show in the bottomline, is firstnamelastname_desktop | 11:51 |
| Miglow | which I didn't enter either | 11:51 |
| clockswork | Miglow, Try and re-install ubuntu, and this time when you boot from the CD choose the option "Install Ubuntu" in the menu that will pop up | 11:51 |
| Edante | c0mp13371331337 nope.. but people says that... when they installed WoW by Wive... there is too low FPS in game... about 3-4.. so thats why i'm looking for alternate way | 11:51 |
| nisalome | in ubuntu 8.10 even the video contained in the example folder didn't display in my computer. whay could be the problem | 11:51 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | k1dugar: cant help you anymore, i got no experience with ufw | 11:51 |
| Miglow | could it be that it took my username from Windows-install? | 11:52 |
| clockswork | nono | 11:52 |
| k1dugar | Ronnie_PC1: no problem dude :P | 11:52 |
| clockswork | you need to enter a username and password when u install it | 11:52 |
| achadwick | Edante: I checked for support at appdb.winehq.org: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1922 . You could also try the virtualbox-ose package. | 11:52 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | is it possible to run a 3D desktop with an Nvidia 8800GTX without xserver-xgl | 11:52 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Edante: To my knowledge, this is the only way to play WoW in linux. I don't think they have native support for it in linux without some type of emulation/virtualization | 11:52 |
| clockswork | My guess is that you didnt pay enough attention when u installed it, or something very interesting happened :P | 11:52 |
| Miglow | Clockswork | 11:52 |
| clockswork | Try and re'install it again and pay close attention to everything | 11:53 |
| erUSUL | Ronnie_PC1: i do not see why not | 11:53 |
| Miglow | Let me emphasize the way I installed it in chronological order | 11:53 |
| clockswork | sure | 11:53 |
| clockswork | but write to me in a private chat then | 11:53 |
| MTecknology | what's the dif between *!?=nick@* and *!nick@* | 11:53 |
| Miglow | Right | 11:53 |
| Edante | c0mp13371331337: yea... they dont support it :( thats why i have to install 2 OS on my machine | 11:53 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | Edante, have you looked here: http://appdb.winehq.org/search_results.php?cx=013271970634691685804%3Abc-56dvxydi&cof=FORID%3A11&q=wow&sa=Search#1052 | 11:53 |

| Rocko | sorry. | 12:32 |
| venkat | how to view hidden files in ubuntu ? | 12:32 |
| jrib | The-Compiler: vim is your other choice :) | 12:32 |
| microwaver | jrib, gutsy. | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Rocko, you can select properties, and click on the icon at the top left, and pick any icon file.. if thats what you want. | 12:32 |
| jrib | venkat: view -> hidden files | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | The-Compiler, i like geany :) | 12:32 |
| Nurionn | microwaver: ff3 won't be in gutsy-repos, as I heard yesterday | 12:32 |
| The-Compiler | I dislike vi(m) and emacs :P | 12:32 |
| microwaver | Nurionn, but you still could do it manually right. | 12:32 |
| jrib | microwaver: if you want the latest software, you should be running the latest release really | 12:32 |
| svat | Is there such a thing as folder actions? I would like all files that are copied into a particular folder to be automatically renumbered consecutively... | 12:32 |
| cYmen | The-Compiler: the eclipse c++ modules are supposed to be pretty good by now | 12:32 |
| jrib | The-Compiler: gedit? | 12:32 |
| Storrgie | I have a ntfs external drive... is there a way to mount that in ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Storrgie, yes. | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !ntfs | 12:33 |
| Miglow | Just hook it up | 12:33 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:33 |
| Miglow | :P | 12:33 |
| venkat | jrib:where is view ? | 12:33 |
| Storrgie | i get an error each time | 12:33 |
| jrib | venkat: in your file browser's menu | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Storrgie, you could mention the error. :) | 12:33 |
| Storrgie | lemme get it up | 12:33 |
| microwaver | jrib, not willing to just 'upgrade' it will destroy everything I have now | 12:33 |
| Storrgie | one moment | 12:33 |
| The-Compiler | Dr_Willis: Yay, it's German, so it'll be good :P xD | 12:33 |
| rebelThor | anyone with some tricks on how to change to a different console video mode? | 12:33 |
| rebelThor | (the ones from pressing Alt+F1) | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | The-Compiler, it is? never noticed | 12:34 |
| jrib | microwaver: not really true. It's not supposed to. In any case, you should have backups anyway | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | rebelThor, if using the framebuffer consoles, you can use the fbset command I recall. or select a mode as a kernel option | 12:34 |
| jrib | microwaver: I've never had a problem upgrading since warty | 12:34 |
| rebelThor | Dr_Willis, thanks, i'll look into it | 12:34 |
| philsf | I'm connecting to the net through a modem, configured in NetworkManager, but NM stays offline (thus making other apps "think" I'm not connected). How can I debug how to make NM aware of the connection? | 12:34 |
| norbi | Hello, I have been using Linux/Ubuntu since 8.14 came out. Since than, there have been a few kernel updates. Should I be deleting the previous ones? How often do these updates come down? Seems like at this rate, in a few months I will have at least 10 entries at my boot screen. Thanks for any input. | 12:34 |
| Storrgie | Dr_Willis: $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) fiald to mount '/dev/sdb1': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. | 12:35 |
| PaulEU | hello | 12:35 |
| jrib | norbi: it's a good idea to keep the last known working one around. The others are safe to remove (remove the corresponding linux-image-* package in your favorite package manager) | 12:35 |
| PaulEU | I have problem with starting OpenOffice Calc after last update | 12:35 |
| Yoric[DT] | Nurionn: what about a backport ? | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Storrgie, You 'should' boot to windows. and have windows scandisk the drives. then reboot to linux and it should be able to mount them then. | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Storrgie, thats the safeest thing to do. | 12:35 |
| svat | norbi: old ones are supposed to be uninstalled automatically (eventually) or with apt-get autoremove, but sometimes I have had to delete old ones manually | 12:36 |
| gligorhoria | thos kernells are left there for safty, if the new 1 fales but if it works, u can delete them, sure | 12:36 |
| PaulEU | oocalc can't start properly :/ it shows gui but it doesn't respond (freezee) | 12:36 |
| philsf | norbi: yes, if the latest kernel is working as expected, you can safely remove kernels. It's a good idea to keep one last kernel for a while when you change kernels, so if you later discover your machine can't boot the latest, you still have an alternative that works | 12:36 |
| svat | PaulEU: Try gnumeric? :) | 12:37 |
| PaulEU | svat: but I must use OO | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !info sc | 12:37 |
| ubottu | sc (source: sc): Text-based spreadsheet with VI-like keybindings. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.16-2 (hardy), package size 203 kB, installed size 428 kB | 12:37 |
| PaulEU | svat: gnumeric doesn't support OO good | 12:37 |
| svat | Sad. OO is pretty terrible, and in many ways worse than Office even. | 12:37 |
| glitsj16 | PaulEU: have you tried starting OO from terminal and check if there are any error messages that can help to debug ? | 12:38 |
| philsf | is there a more proper channel to ask about network-manager, instead of this one? | 12:38 |
| svat | PaulEU: why must you use OO, BTW? | 12:38 |
| PaulEU | glitsj16: there isn't any errors in terminal | 12:38 |
| PaulEU | glitsj16: I tried remove ~/.openoffice.org2/ and it doesn't help | 12:38 |
| PaulEU | svat: stupid question, I use it long time | 12:39 |
| clockswork | Is there a fan control application for ubuntu? | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, try making a new user, and try running it as the new user? | 12:39 |
| glitsj16 | PaulEU: too bad, maybe in ~/.xsession-errors ? | 12:39 |
| norbi | jrib, swat, philsf: Thank you. Is it safe to assume that the grub list entries will not be removed by the package management software? This will have to be done manually? | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, if it fails for all users.. thats a clue.. Not sure what it means.. but its a clue at least. :) | 12:39 |
| jrib | norbi: when you remove the package, they will be removed | 12:39 |
| philsf | norbi: they will, if you remove the corresponding -image package | 12:40 |
| svat | norbi: Removing the corresponding linux-image-* package should remove the grub list entries. Even removing the package sometimes happens automatically (or so I've heard), but not always | 12:40 |
| Vicfred | hi all | 12:40 |
| PaulEU | glitsj16: I see a lot of warnings.. | 12:40 |
| PaulEU | Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x4203e0c (OpenOffice) | 12:40 |
| PaulEU | meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed. | 12:40 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: I must add new user (I don't want waste space) | 12:41 |
| descent | c0mp13371331337: well, what you adviced me, works, thanks for that. But my problem is still present. In my script, which I am alunching from cron i have a line "mkdir "$i/converted"; /usr/bin/ufraw-batch "$i"/*ARW > /home/user/.uflog;" . The mkdir part works, but the second does not work from cron. How can i fix it? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, it wont take up more then a few k. | 12:41 |
| chazco | Hi... Ubuntu wont let me install using a seperate /home. The install gets to creating user then simple closes (no errors or anything). The log shows that "gid is already in use" as an error followed by chpasswd saying it couldnt find the user. Any ideas? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, and you can always delete the user later | 12:41 |
| norbi | jrib, philsf, svat: Well here goes nothing, I'll tell you how it works out after a reboot :) Thanks again! | 12:42 |
| derspankster | I heard somewhere that Wine 1.0 was in the Ubuntu repos. I can't find it myself. | 12:42 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: I'll try | 12:42 |
| jrib | norbi: just make sure you leave a working kernel so we can see you again | 12:42 |
| rsk | derspankster: they are in intrepid ibex | 12:42 |
| joaopinto | descent, is ufraw a graphical app ? | 12:42 |
| derspankster | rsk, Ah, thanks | 12:42 |
| descent | joaopinto: no, ufraw-batch works form cmd | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | derspankster, you could try the 'latest' repos from the wine hq sites | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !wine | 12:42 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 12:42 |
| Miglow | clockworks? | 12:43 |
| norbi | jrib: Going to leave the last two as recommended. | 12:43 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: Can I try it on via sudo? | 12:43 |
| derspankster | Dr_Willis, good idea - thanks to you | 12:43 |
| chazco | Has support for separate /home been removed in Hardy perhaps? | 12:43 |
| microwaver | jrib all the difference settings I have now should be kept ? | 12:43 |
| jrib | microwaver: yes | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, go for it.. no idea if that will prove much of anything. :) but heck ya can try | 12:43 |
| Miglow | I just went to amd-site and the state that a utility is included in kernel 2.6.18 | 12:43 |
| Vicfred | !AppDB | 12:43 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 12:43 |
| microwaver | jrib, wo thee if this doesn't work :P | 12:43 |
| jrib | microwaver: your ~/.* isn't touched | 12:43 |
| jrib | actually, your ~ isn't touched at all | 12:44 |
| joaopinto | descent, why dont you put that command train into a single a script and call it. It should be easier to work with | 12:44 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: when I tried run it as sudo user it works properly | 12:44 |
| PaulEU | maybe settings are corrupted? Which? | 12:45 |
| clockswork | Miglow, yeah I'm back | 12:45 |
| microwaver | jrib, upgrading as we speak :D | 12:45 |
| PaulEU | because I don't have idea | 12:45 |
| chazco | Hi... Ubuntu wont let me install using a seperate /home. The install gets to creating user then simple closes (no errors or anything). The log shows that "gid is already in use" as an error followed by chpasswd saying it couldnt find the user. Any ideas? | 12:45 |
| clockswork | Is there any way to control your fans in ubuntu? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, well.. if it also works as a totally 'clean/new' user i would belive that.. odds are thats the issue. running as root also gives the app different permission... | 12:45 |
| descent | joaopinto: how can that help me? What i have shown, is a part of a larger script, and I don't think it's a good idea to split it. Or, are you saying that it can help me to deal with the cron problem? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, could be a theme/gtk/compiz issue goofing it up. | 12:46 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: I don't use compiz | 12:46 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: theme is default in ubuntu | 12:46 |
| joaopinto | sorry, i thought that was your cron line | 12:46 |
| dns53 | chazco you can have problem if the user already exists, first move your user's home, install and then move your home back | 12:47 |
| Vixus | How do I tell wine to look for all DLLs on my windows partition's system32? | 12:47 |
| chazco | dns53 - This approach has always worked before though, seems odd. I tried setting it to /oldhome and then changing that to mount at home, but ubuntu wouldnt boot with it... | 12:48 |
| joaopinto | Vixus, try #winehq | 12:48 |
| Vixus | righto | 12:48 |
| norbi | jrib, svat, philsf: I have successfully removed two of the older versions of the kernel. By using synaptic, which also removed the entries in the grub list. Thanks for all your help. Another day and another thing learnt. | 12:48 |
| descent | joaopinto, do you have any ideas of how can i make that? the script, which i am launching from cron, works flawlessly through the term | 12:48 |
| poisonkiller | hello | 12:49 |
| joaopinto | descent, no clue | 12:49 |
| descent | joaopinto, thanks for the try :) | 12:49 |
| === icha is now known as marcella_ | ||
| descent | Can anyone help me? In my script, which I am alunching from cron i have a line "mkdir "$i/converted"; /usr/bin/ufraw-batch "$i"/*ARW > /home/user/.uflog;" . The mkdir part works, but the second does not work from cron. How can i fix it? | 12:50 |
| dns53 | descent cron does not set your environment, define $PATH and other variables in your script | 12:50 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: I added new user and it works.. where should I search bug? | 12:50 |
| poisonkiller | when i tried to completely uninstall wine, i deleted everything inside Applications->Wine and now they didnt come back after reinstalling wine. any help? | 12:50 |
| descent | dns53, how can i figure out what variables to set, and what should they be equal to? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, that basically proves its a user setting on the problem user. as to what setting. No idea. You could try it under a different window manager, or just start cleaning out all your settings and try running it again | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, but at least you have a clue. :) | 12:51 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: maybe strace help? | 12:52 |
| descent | poisonkiller, why should they? | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | PaulEU, i normally just whipe out all my settings :) but i also tend to use jwm for my desktop. | 12:52 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: I'll try clean all user settings (first backup ~) and do it | 12:53 |
| dns53 | descent i think if you put - before your command in cron it spawns a new shell and sets things up, you could pastebin the full script and i | 12:53 |
| Dnumgis | Is it just me or did openoffice break in the latest update? | 12:53 |
| PaulEU | Dr_Willis: but not today :/ maybe later.. thanks for advice | 12:53 |
| poisonkiller | descent: i dont know, they just should? | 12:54 |
| PaulEU | Dnumgis: you have problem with start OO ? Me too | 12:54 |
| Dnumgis | it say "Locking assertion error" and throws a backtrace | 12:54 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | is there some programm to view my graphics card activity? | 12:54 |
| descent | dns53, thank you, i'll try that now | 12:55 |
| Storrgie | Ronnie_PC1: Nvidia X Server Settings tells you the temp | 12:55 |
| PaulEU | eh, I must go out :( | 12:55 |
| descent | poisonkiller, i mean, f you uninstalled them, why should they come back? | 12:55 |
| PaulEU | I will back | 12:55 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | is that the only place... | 12:55 |
| Storrgie | well that is one application | 12:56 |
| Storrgie | Ronnie_PC1: I dont know of anything else right now... I just started with ubuntu about a week ago | 12:56 |
| poisonkiller | descent: when i reinstall wine, shouldnt it reappear? | 12:56 |
| Storrgie | still trying to get my quadro 360m to workright | 12:56 |
| poisonkiller | descent: i just installed a small windows app, and it still didnt appear :( | 12:57 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | i tried to run counter strike, my cpu went to 100% (1 core) but i got only 10 FPS, my GPU temp doesnt change | 12:57 |
| Ronnie_PC1 | so i guess its running CSS fully on CPU, but i want to knoe for sure | 12:57 |
| descent | poisonkiller, you just shouldn't uninstall wine apps in order to reinstall wine. Just reinstall wine and don't touch the apps | 12:57 |
| descent | dns53, nothing happens now at all. I've added a "-". The cron line looks now like 57 * * * * descent - /usr/bin/convert_raws >> /home/user/.convert_log | 12:59 |
| qense | Does anyone know why ebox, which should be webapplication if I' m right, requires x11-common to be installed | 12:59 |
| Swish | I'm using ubuntu 6.06LTS and the default NFS software to serve NFS requests. Are there other different NFS-server-software available? | 12:59 |
| qense | It could have something to do with the dependency gconf2 of ebox, but x11comon is no dependency of ebox at all | 12:59 |
| poisonkiller | descent: ehm... maybe you have misunderstood me, there should be a Wine menu under Applications, but there isnt one | 13:00 |
| poisonkiller | decent: thus i cant access wine configuration, uninstall windows applications, etc. | 13:00 |
| philsf | I'm connecting to the net through a GSM modem, configured in NetworkManager, but NM stays offline (thus making other apps "think" I'm not connected). How can I debug how to make NM aware of the connection? | 13:01 |
| descent | poisonkiller: it really seems like i misunderstood u, sorry for that :) | 13:01 |
| bastid_raZor | using apt-get i would use what syntax to get the version of a package.. apt-get -policy wine for example? | 13:01 |
| dns53 | descent remove your username | 13:02 |
| Bangers | Hi, quick question - I just installed ubuntu inside a VMWare Virtual Machine | 13:03 |
| Bangers | It's normal to not be able to enable 'visual affects' ? | 13:04 |
| Bangers | do I need to dual boot it? | 13:04 |
| descent | dns53, nothing happens. The line look like 03 * * * * - /usr/bin/convert_raws >> /home/user/.convert_log | 13:04 |
| poisonkiller | Bangers: well, VMWare doesnt have 3d support, so you probably have to dual-boot to see visual effects... | 13:05 |
| Bangers | poisonkiller: Thaks. Do I ave to dual boot or can I do that 'install inside windows' option? | 13:05 |
| Nurionn | Bangers: perhaps you could try live-cd | 13:05 |
| Bangers | I couldnt enable visual affects with Live CD either | 13:06 |
| Bangers | and LiveCD is too slow | 13:06 |
| Bangers | i want to give ubuntu a go as a real OS | 13:06 |
| poisonkiller | Bangers: i have no idea :D | 13:06 |
| Nurionn | "i want to give ubuntu a go as a real OS" -> so just install it ;) | 13:06 |
| Bangers | Nurionn: thats my question, dual boot or "inside windows"? | 13:06 |
| bastid_raZor | dual boot would be the most honest way of giving it a real go. | 13:07 |
| Nurionn | I never tested "inside windows" so I cannot say how it works | 13:07 |
| hansmuller_ar | hi | 13:08 |
| bastid_raZor | Bangers; IMO, dual boot. once you get ubuntu up and running and figure out how it all works. you'll ditch windows. | 13:08 |
| Bangers | okay thanks will do | 13:08 |
| Bangers | Are they any issues with the 'dual boot' option from when you put the CD in when windows is running? | 13:09 |
| dega | hi, do u speak Russian? | 13:09 |
| bazhang | !ru | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 13:09 |
| hoanglinh | free | 13:09 |
| bastid_raZor | Bangers; that question doesn't really make sense. just reboot with the cd in and boot to the liveCD .. then install. you'll have to partition some space for ubuntu. | 13:10 |
| descent | Bangers: the best way to try it is to use Wubi. Thus, you will dual-boot, but Ubuntu will work like a Windows-app, it will actually be a file, not a separate partition.. | 13:10 |
| Bangers | descent: is it slower? | 13:11 |
| descent | Bangers: i don't think so | 13:12 |
| kraft__ | hello | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ive heard wubi is a little bit slower in file access | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | But i dont reccomend using wubi. :) | 13:12 |
| sun01tech | Bangers: it doesnt run in windows it creates a boot option when you startup windows and you choose to boot into it | 13:12 |
| kraft__ | i've found that my clock was stuck in 5 second loops | 13:12 |
| kraft__ | does anyone know about this issue? | 13:13 |
| kraft__ | or | 13:13 |
| sun01tech | better to use the live cd | 13:13 |
| kraft__ | i have set a kernel options, how can i see what options are currently set in the running kernel | 13:13 |
| Storrgie | Anyone set up vmware in ubuntu and get bridged networking to work?! | 13:13 |
| glitsj16 | i guess by now Bangers is very confused :) | 13:13 |
| kraft__ | i.e. nohz=off | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Storrgie, its worked for me befor. Ive never had to even twiddle with it. | 13:14 |
| dns53 | descent ok i guess i was wrong, i believe i was thinking of solaris. i'm not sure what variables your shell script needs, but cron does not define much and does not call the normal scrips like your normal shell does | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Storrgie, i do install the vmware-server packages however. | 13:15 |
| sun01tech | Storrgie: i have..althought i never had a problem with it | 13:15 |
| Bangers | I think i'll go with Wubi, thanks. | 13:15 |
| MirrorSpock | can anyone tell me in what file the proxy server is configured? i made a type during install.. | 13:15 |
| Storrgie | Well i just installed vmware workstation | 13:16 |
| [[mimpii_inddahh | alow | 13:16 |
| MirrorSpock | *typo | 13:16 |
| Storrgie | and specified my wireless adaptor as the bridged one | 13:16 |
| === [[mimpii_inddahh is now known as vixz_metalz | ||
| Storrgie | but when i start up my XP virtual machine it can only get private addresses | 13:16 |
| Storrgie | i wonder if its because my network is wep'ed | 13:17 |
| Storrgie | i wonder if it was open... i might be able to connect | 13:17 |
| Storrgie | that might be my issue | 13:17 |
| Storrgie | so maybe i shouldnt do bridged? | 13:17 |
| bastid_raZor | Storrgie; #vmware may be better help.. i use NAT for all my networking fun in vmware | 13:18 |
| dns53 | Storrgie bridged allows you to have it sitting on your normal network so you can use it as if it was real | 13:18 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: thats a known problem | 13:18 |
| aikiko | hello i have some problems with starting ssh on ubuntu server .... : sshd re-exec requires execution whith an absulute path | 13:19 |
| KenSentMe | When i try to reboot my Ubuntu hardy system something goes wrong, the system doesnt reboot but remains in gnome. I can't access the gnome panel etc. I have to switch to another tty and reboot through the terminal. How can i trace this bug to make a nice report? | 13:19 |
| aikiko | any idea ? | 13:19 |
| mgolisch | aikiko: what exactly are you doing? | 13:19 |

| MirrorSpock | anyone? the file where the proxy server is setup? | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | MirrorSpock, proxy server for what app? diffent ones can have different settings. | 13:21 |
| herks | hello | 13:21 |
| herks | hi | 13:21 |
| luke__ | http://counter.opensuse.org/ | 13:21 |

| herks | t.t | 13:22 |
| herks | gkdl | 13:22 |
| aikiko | that works ... strange because few month ago i started it with sshd command ... thanks a lot | 13:22 |
| MirrorSpock | for apt, i mistyped it in the initial setup of ubuntu | 13:22 |
| mgolisch | MirrorSpock: try echo $http_proxy on a terminal | 13:23 |
| mgolisch | does it print out something? | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | MirrorSpock, that may be in /etc/apt/SOMTHING | 13:23 |
| Storrgie | bastid_raZor: you there? | 13:23 |
| MirrorSpock | not in $http_proxy.. | 13:23 |
| MirrorSpock | ah, found it in apt.conf | 13:23 |
| MirrorSpock | (was looking in networking) | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | MirrorSpock, one is apt specific. :) sunce you mught want apt to use a apt-caching proxy. | 13:24 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: in nat mode the host will act as a nat router to the vm | 13:24 |
| Storrgie | mgolisch: is there any special setup i will have to do? or just switch to nat mode? | 13:25 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: usualy just switch to nat mode and have your xp vm use dhcp | 13:25 |
| mgolisch | that should be all usualy | 13:25 |
| MirrorSpock | i only want it to be able to uas apt, so that's a plus, i knew about the other http_proxy's but wanted to use this one | 13:25 |
| MirrorSpock | thanks very much | 13:25 |
| koray | doesnt open private chat window | 13:25 |
| mgolisch | vmware should have a dhcp server runing for the nat interface by default | 13:25 |
| Storrgie | mgolisch: thank you kind sir, have time for another question? | 13:26 |
| mgolisch | sure | 13:26 |
| MirrorSpock | (turns out i didn't mistype it, i set up the wrong network adapter in vmware :p ) | 13:26 |
| Storrgie | I have a dell m4300... I would like to get the gfx accel working properly and the sound working properly | 13:26 |
| Storrgie | i have tried some things, but the sound is still 'jittery' | 13:26 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: all sound? | 13:27 |
| Storrgie | mgolisch: hmmm, some sounds... I guess it depends | 13:28 |
| mgolisch | it might be due to different ways those sound sources access your sound device | 13:28 |
| mgolisch | like some players/progams might use the alsa interface directly some might use some soundserver like esd/arts/pulseaudio | 13:29 |
| Storrgie | mgolisch: im pretty new to linux.... so there isnt a driver I can download that will help me out? I will have to configure for each program? | 13:29 |

| midnighthacker | hi everyone | 13:43 |
| filthpig | Danielle4242: I did a quick search on your laptop on google and it has an Intel video card. Those are normally detected without problems | 13:43 |
| glitsj16 | Mille: "nice" is the way to run a program with modified scheduling priority (nice -n <range> <program>, ranges from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable) .. experiment away | 13:43 |
| soundray | Danielle4242: what makes you say that it's not detected? | 13:43 |
| Rocko | She may have an updated video card. | 13:43 |
| midnighthacker | is there anyway i can remove my user account and use the root account? | 13:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo > midnighthacker | 13:43 |
| filthpig | Rocko: the Inspiron 6400 isn't exactly bleeding edge | 13:44 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: yeah, the bridged thing wont work with wlan, but the nat thing should usualy work if its setup properly | 13:44 |
| m-c | soundray: Still no change. What is supposed to be happening? Where did you hear about this command? | 13:44 |
| soundray | midnighthacker: please don't try that, it's very insecure | 13:44 |
| midnighthacker | i mean to login on the desktop | 13:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | midnighthacker not safe | 13:44 |

| Storrgie | mgolisch: what would you suggest for... setting it up properly | 13:44 |
| midnighthacker | so ur saying just wipe it out and use root insted of puting in another admin user | 13:45 |
| Rocko | i can't say i like inspiron :) | 13:45 |
| glitsj16 | Danielle4242: is there anything usefull (errors, warnings) in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Might help if you could paste that at paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url so we can have a closer look. | 13:45 |
| Rocko | althought i got a XPS | 13:45 |
| Danielle4242 | soundray - At the beginning when I first installed Ubuntu it was at some crazy resolution (a couple settings above 1024x768), so I reduced it, the text was blurry when I did that so I restarted. Now I get an error when the computer starts up and I can't go bigger than 800x600 | 13:45 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: id rerun vmware-config.pl and have it setup a nat network for you | 13:45 |
| midnighthacker | boot in rescue mode then what | 13:45 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: if vmware-workstation is configured using that | 13:45 |
| soundray | m-c: I didn't hear about it -- it's just how you configure those settings of the clock applet that aren't accessible through the dialog. | 13:45 |
| midnighthacker | im new to ubuntu sorry | 13:45 |
| mgolisch | only used server here | 13:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | midnighthacker Please explain why you think you need to do that | 13:45 |
| finux__ | midnighthacker: then you are root, and can repair everything | 13:45 |
| Hohlraum | anyone else been stuck with a partial upgrade for awhile now? tzdata seems to be causing issues and now a few linux kernel packages. | 13:45 |
| m-c | midnighthacker: One of the biggest features is that you do not have to login as root, with Ubuntu. | 13:45 |
| soundray | m-c: open gconf-editor and see if you have a /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/ key | 13:45 |
| onats | how do i list the running processes on my machine? i got an error that my mouse couldn't be grabbed, and there might be a malicious process... | 13:46 |

| finux__ | onats: top | 13:46 |
| midnighthacker | but all access is root even though im an admin and i cant update firefox says u do not have access not the owner | 13:46 |
| soundray | Danielle4242: but you can log in at 800x600 ? | 13:46 |

| finux__ | onats: and a little bit nicer htop | 13:46 |
| midnighthacker | cant click the update tap | 13:46 |
| gordonjcp | onats: what exactly caused the error? | 13:46 |
| midnighthacker | tab* | 13:46 |
| dns53 | midnighthacker it is a BAD idea to run as root, especially if you don't know what you are doing, if you need root you use sudo to temporarily get root privs | 13:46 |
| onats | gordonjcp, i opened package manager | 13:46 |
| onats | finux__, thanks! | 13:47 |
| finux__ | onats: np :D | 13:47 |
| soundray | Danielle4242: try setting your monitor type properly with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 13:47 |

| Danielle4242 | soundray - for Screen I only get "Plug n Play" | 13:48 |

| midnighthacker | cept some | 13:48 |
| m-c | soundray: I think this feature of Swatch/Internet Time is no longer available, at least that is what I just heard in the gnome channel. Gconf-editor shows no settings for it, under the applets/clock configuration menu. | 13:48 |
| mgolisch | Storrgie: in a terminal type sudo vmware-config.pl | 13:48 |

| ninjabuntu | filthpig: ok thank you... | 13:49 |
| midnighthacker | i click the update thing and the 7.04 update aint there | 13:50 |
| midnighthacker | how else do i upgrade | 13:50 |
| soundray | m-c: if you look up /panel/applets/clock_screen0 (it might have a different number), you can set the prefs/format string for that particular instance to 'internet' | 13:50 |

| Pici | Mille: | 13:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sorry no bot this am Mille yes | 13:54 |
| Pici | Mille: Ubuntu has iptables running at all times, but by default there are no rules. You can either use the iptables command to administrate it, or install a graphical tool, such as Firestarter. | 13:55 |
| Pici | Mille: Then again, theres nothing listening by default either. | 13:55 |
| midnighthacker | thx dns53 thats working so far, u wouldent happen to know how big the update is do u? | 13:55 |
| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: sorry, I'm not aware of any | 13:55 |
| Mille | i see. i was looking at ufw, but i see it isnt' enabled either. i'll look into firestarter. thank you. :-) | 13:55 |
| midnighthacker | ok now its saying Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. | 13:56 |
| dns53 | midnighthacker big, depending on what you have installed, it may be better to just install the new release instead of upgrading through all releases in between | 13:56 |
| Mille | one other thing. is there possible to do anything about the slow transfers in msn, using pidgin? | 13:56 |

| the_darkside_986 | soundray: oh ok thanks. | 14:05 |
| Kelen | archibold_tinker: a video format.. you know? | 14:05 |
| ceceboy | muted i suppose? :D | 14:05 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: gnome-volume-control, i made a typo, unmuted | 14:05 |
| dns53 | the_darkside_986 all it really does is edit the windows boot menu and create big file to contain linux | 14:05 |
| home_ | archibold_tinker: that is wen i try to boot the like a live CD | 14:05 |
| the_darkside_986 | that sounds safe enough | 14:06 |
| andycas1 | I cant connect to my ap, it hangs at "waiting for network key" | 14:06 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: never heard of it no, sounds obscure (real?) try vlc?! ;) | 14:06 |
| soundray | the_darkside_986: it's fairly slow, though. You can set up Ubuntu in a partition without messing up your Windows. | 14:06 |
| cdavis | What JRE should I install on hardy? Which one seems to work the best? | 14:06 |
| archibold_tinker | home_: please check_the_cd_for_defects | 14:06 |
| the_darkside_986 | soundray: link to instructions plz? | 14:06 |
| filthpig | soundray: I came to think of something yesterday concerning wubi; How does a journaling FS work on top of ntfs? I guess ntfs has to be loaded for i.e. ext3 to work..? | 14:07 |
| Kelen | archibold_tinker: just a format of video file, like *.avi | 14:07 |
| home_ | i did there are non | 14:07 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: still no sound | 14:07 |
| home_ | i did there are non archibold_tinker | 14:07 |
| Zoiks | I have just made a raid 5. I am trying to format it, but I read that I should include a flag -R stride=blocksperstrip. So what is the default block size of ext3? | 14:07 |
| soundray | the_darkside_986: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 14:07 |
| the_darkside_986 | cool thanks | 14:07 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: avi is a container - still all my multimedia training and I never* heard of that format lol | 14:07 |
| cdavis | Would the sun version be best unless I have issues with their license? | 14:07 |
| home_ | archibold_tinker: and i have like 10 CD starting from 6.04 i think? | 14:07 |
| soundray | filthpig: I don't know how wubi does it, but I doubt that the image is mounted with journalling | 14:08 |
| archibold_tinker | home_: sounds like hardware issues then. is your xserver set up correctly, and is all hardware supported well? | 14:08 |
| home_ | archibold_tinker: how can i check if is a hardware problem ? | 14:08 |
| dns53 | cdavis well the jdk is open source, there are some differences between the open source and proprietary versions but they are minor | 14:09 |
| onats | gordonjcp, but why is the ip weird. 192.168.150.1 | 14:09 |
| home_ | dunno how to dp that archibold_tinker | 14:09 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: could be very complex depending on the sound system you use, happen to know which one ? ALSA, pulseaudio, Esound, .. ? | 14:09 |
| Kelen | archibold_tinker: OK, so you usually watch movie with format *.avi? | 14:09 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: i mean complex to give you a quick and short fix | 14:09 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: i've tried using each one | 14:09 |
| soundray | home_: you should make sure that all your fans are running. Then test your RAM by selecting memtest86 from the grub menu (you may have to hit Esc during boot to see the grub menu) | 14:09 |
| bvd | Hi, I'm trying to use gFTP to move some files to my harddrive. But I get Error: Cannot open local file /usr/bin/quake3/baseq3/PAK0.PK3: Permission denied. How to change gFTP's premissions? | 14:10 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: but the line-out is working on Windows | 14:10 |
| soundray | bvd: move them to your home directory first. Then use 'sudo cp' to copy them to /usr/bin/quake3/baseq3/ | 14:10 |

| boris | hello | 14:11 |
| archibold_tinker | home_: to be honest you need to check your logs for x and perhaps do some dmesg checks too. you need someone who knows what is what helping. beyond my scope I'm afraid sorry ! 8/ | 14:11 |
| cdavis | dns53, thanks | 14:11 |
| bvd | Thanks soundray :) | 14:11 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: yeah, or .ogg/.mp4 | 14:11 |
| boris | ive got a problem with my sound. after installing fglrx on a new kernel, the sound is kinda crappier | 14:11 |
| andycas1 | Why cant i connect with netowrk manager. It says waiting for keyring. When i do sudo iwconfig it shows that im associated with some access point, while i stopped network manager???? | 14:11 |
| home_ | 10x archibold_tinker | 14:11 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: okay, did you get any errors while trying ALSA, pulseaudio or any other sound servers ? | 14:11 |
| dns53 | cdavis i think icetea lacks a browser plugin and sound support and a few other things | 14:11 |
| soundray | dns53: icedtea has a browser plugin | 14:12 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: 2 secs | 14:12 |
| ceceboy | yes, when using C-Media PCI IEC958 lol: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal data flow error" | 14:12 |

| kate_mins | Hello , i would like to use php in order to kill process by its name i am using Ubuntu , this command working fine on the terminal "killall script.perl" how i can run this command from the php script ? | 14:13 |
| asphyxiant | hey ppl need some help | 14:13 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: well at least that indicates that pulseaudio got the connection | 14:13 |
| home_ | ok brb | 14:13 |
| asphyxiant | situation: i have a lot of files of *.blablabla extension in lot of folders. i need to sort them all into one folder. is there any cmd to do this? | 14:13 |
| ceceboy | kate_mins: use exec("killall script.perl") | 14:14 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: as I suspected it is realmedia (variable bitrate) - I don't particularly like realmedia and would never use it to encode any of my works! you should be able to play that back using vlc player though | 14:14 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: sudo apt-get install vlc | 14:14 |
| karel | I have a pc with an ati 9500 gpu (something like that), if I replace it with an nvidea gforce 2 100/200, will that give problems booting or with drivers? (both ubuntu and winxp) | 14:14 |
| asphyxiant | anyone? | 14:14 |
| kate_mins | ceceboy: its not working :( | 14:14 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: could you paste your /etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/daemon.conf at paste.ubuntu | 14:15 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: if you enable medibuntu and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs it should work in mplayer too | 14:15 |
| archibold_tinker | !medibunu | Kelen | 14:15 |
| ceceboy | kate_mins: that might mean that apache doesn't have sufficient rights to kill the proces | 14:15 |
| Karti_ | Hi all, jsut looking at a way to stop my PC from returning a Pinging request? | 14:15 |

| Kelen | archibold_tinker: thx, i am watching the description of vlc with "aptitude show vlc" | 14:16 |
| redheat | I have question regarding how to restore all my user data such as favorites, email and stuff that I should have imported during the initial setup of hardy heron but due to certain reasons I forgot, and now I'm trying to do that.. | 14:17 |
| redheat | how can I achieve it/ | 14:17 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: lol, firefox doesn't want to start | 14:18 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: or any other program | 14:18 |
| redheat | anyone? | 14:18 |
| Talio-Gladius | lol at having to reconfigure vmware workstation for every freaking kernel update | 14:18 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: hehe, no worries, try to get it fixed, i'll hold | 14:18 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: do you have that too sometimes? i just have to restart then | 14:18 |
| redheat | folks, how can I restore my data from another windows account.. | 14:19 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: rarely, but i run the mean and lean xubuntu :D | 14:19 |
| mgolisch | Talio-Gladius: whats so lol about that? | 14:19 |
| redheat | both are installed on the same harddrive, like when they used to ask us during hardy heron's setup | 14:19 |
| joaopinto | redheat, you just need to backup and restore your home dir | 14:19 |
| mgolisch | i think its about importing stuff from the windows partition | 14:20 |
| mgolisch | no idea | 14:20 |
| mgolisch | never done that as i dont use windows | 14:20 |
| mgolisch | :) | 14:20 |
| redheat | jaopinto, how can I restore that windows account.. you know what I'm saying.. when hardy heron used to ask us during the initial setup | 14:20 |
| joaopinto | ah, ops | 14:20 |
| Talio-Gladius | mgolish: just having to do it when I really needed a VM pronto. I'm just glad I remembered how to trick it for the version number. It's this issue http://communities.vmware.com/thread/108501?tstart=0&start=0 | 14:20 |
| generic | any one help me out? | 14:20 |
| joaopinto | windows, forget, I have no experience with that import function | 14:20 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: i see :P i just installed Wubi, running updates atm, then i'll restart (bb in 5 minutes i think) | 14:20 |
| ceceboy | k? | 14:21 |
| soundray | generic: depends on your question | 14:21 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: ok, see you soon | 14:21 |
| kaushal | hi | 14:21 |
| kaushal | what should i grep for dmidecode to know the chipset | 14:21 |
| Guaraldo | hi, there! | 14:22 |
| chazco | Hi... Ubuntu wont let me install using a seperate /home. The install gets to creating user then simple closes (no errors or anything). The log shows that "gid is already in use" as an error followed by chpasswd saying it couldnt find the user. Any ideas? | 14:22 |
| mgolisch | kaushal: what chipset? | 14:22 |
| soundray | kaushal: what chipset? | 14:22 |
| kaushal | of the motherboard | 14:22 |
| Kelen | archibold_tinker: it is a code also as w32codes? but it is supports mov, wmv and more video formats? | 14:22 |
| Guaraldo | People... I have a client using edgy yet... | 14:22 |
| generic | soundray i install ms office 2003 on wine1.0rc5 all good when i open a work doc right clik and open in ms office it opens blank doc the i go to file open the same doc it opens | 14:22 |
| generic | whats this issue is | 14:23 |
| generic | ? | 14:23 |
| mgolisch | generic: maybe nautilus passes the wrong path? | 14:24 |
| mgolisch | generic: or how do you opne that document? | 14:24 |
| soundray | kaushal: don't grep, just glance over the whole content. There is a section "Base board information" | 14:24 |
| kaushal | ok | 14:24 |
| Mark_ | i have a major problem! i tried installing a game via WINE, first it turned off my CCSM functions, now i have no graphical interface | 14:25 |
| soundray | generic: perhaps you should run explore.exe in wine and open your document from there | 14:25 |
| login_ | Hi | 14:25 |
| === login_ is now known as Jenny8399 | ||
| Jenny8399 | OK | 14:25 |
| generic | soundray i dun have explorer | 14:25 |
| mgolisch | yeah or write some nautilus script that passes a correct path to the file | 14:25 |
| Mark_ | when i log on it says "would you like to diagnose the problem" and then at the bottom it says "no screens found" | 14:25 |
| generic | but this is really odd | 14:25 |
| Mark_ | so i have no graphical interface, just the terminal line | 14:25 |
| Mark_ | O_o | 14:25 |
| Jenny8399 | I went from Windows to Ubuntu. I saved my profile of thunderbird, now how do I import it into my ubuntu thunderbird? | 14:26 |
| mgolisch | like configure a winedrive to your $HOME and let nautilus pass a path using that winedrive | 14:26 |
| generic | i add this in link on desktop too wine "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE" | 14:26 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: looks like that game messed things up pretty badly .. what game is it ? | 14:26 |
| soundray | generic: look in $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/explorer.exe | 14:26 |
| Pulpie | !ping | 14:26 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: back, can you give me the names of the files again? | 14:26 |

| R2LM | What is the name of the ubuntu IRC bot today? I just wanted to PM it to get some info. | 14:26 |
| archibold_tinker | Kelen: vlc is a media player that uses ffmpeg to play almost any file you throw at it. mplayer uses xine (i think) you need to have a codec installed that will playback real media (w32codec) | 14:26 |
| Pulpie | !ping | 14:26 |
| Mark_ | glitsj16 i think i might have to reset my xorg.conf to the latest backup...but i don't know the command line for that | 14:27 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: welcome back, it was /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and /etc/pulse/default.pa | 14:27 |
| mgolisch | mplayer mainly uses libavcodec like vlc | 14:27 |
| onats | what's a good partition for 120GB? | 14:27 |
| soundray | R2LM: it's down at present. Ask us. | 14:27 |

| generic | how i gave nautils the right path | 14:28 |
| soundray | onats: please clarify your question | 14:28 |
| Mark_ | glitsj16 what is the normal recommended backup name? is it xorg_backup.conf...hmm, maybe i can find it | 14:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | R2LM Bot is in for 100 mile checkup | 14:28 |
| archibold | I'm having trouble netbooting ubuntu. it loads up and a prompt comes up to choose boot options. if I hit enter (default settings) then it hangs at a black screen. any ideas??? | 14:29 |
| R2LM | soundray: OK, I'm looking for info on a Intel Pro/Wireless 4965AGN wireless card--is the 4965 an Atheros based chipset? And do you remember the place at help.ubuntu.com where I could look it up? | 14:29 |
| onats | i meant, the number of GBs to split up. i also have 2GB of ram | 14:29 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21398/ & http://paste.ubuntu.com/21399/ | 14:29 |
| soundray | Mark_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf* | 14:29 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: there is a failsafe to fall back to, but i hope you made a backup of xorg.conf yourself .. try sudo ls /etc/X11 to get the dir content | 14:29 |
| soundray | R2LM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo is the bot link | 14:29 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: thx, will have a look and report back ok ? | 14:30 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: ok | 14:30 |
| soundray | R2LM: as to the specifics -- sorry, I don't know (except that Intel probably won't use Atheros, since they make their own chipsets) | 14:30 |
| Mark_ | glitsj16 i see it, but i know it's not very recent...could you briefly describe to me the failsafe | 14:30 |
| The-Seiman | hello all, I've tried the Modedebug "yes" option in my xorg.conf to see more debug output in the xorg.0.log, all worked fine but ... I tried then to remove de Modedebug "yes", then I restart the X server with CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE, but the ugly VESA mode is still there and I can't have the visual effects :'(, Is that only Gnome related ? | 14:31 |
| R2LM | soundray: OK thanks for the info! | 14:31 |
| jeanke | Hi, I have installed Ubuntu Hardy on my laptop and I noticed that my HD is constantly reading/writing although I wasn't doing anything on the system | 14:31 |
| jeanke | I started up iostat and can see that contantly about 3MB/S is written to /dev/sda | 14:31 |
| jeanke | seems a bit odd? | 14:31 |
| sammyF | hey there, can I upgrade 8.04-32bit to 8.04-64bit without losing everything? and SHOULD I? (now that I have at least a 64bit CPU) | 14:31 |
| jeanke | I let my laptop on idling for 8hours but still the HD is writing 3MB/s | 14:32 |
| soundray | jeanke: it's probably trackerd indexing your files. Give it an hour and check again. | 14:32 |
| archibold | The-Seiman: what graphics card are you running? | 14:32 |
| soundray | jeanke: I see | 14:32 |
| onats | pissed pissed pissed | 14:32 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: probably wiser to reconfigure X -- run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:32 |
| The-Seiman | archibold: Intel, before the Modedebug option, all the effects and 3D rendering worked fine | 14:32 |
| sammyF | onats: british pissed or US pissed? | 14:32 |

| Crashinit6 | Hi all. I have about 400 desktop computers with windows XP installed. My boss wanted me to get linux installed so I used WUBI (Kubuntu) because it is just that easy,My problem is that I roll out images with ghost and I have no idea how to make kubuntu prompt you to change the hostname for the first boot. | 14:33 |
| onats | so anyway, i'm thinking of completely wiping my other OS. what's a good partition size for /, /home for a 120GB hdd, with 2 gigs of ram? | 14:33 |
| The-Seiman | archilord: I'll restart again my PC ... | 14:34 |
| joaopinto | Mark_, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 14:34 |
| idle_ | #ubuntuforums | 14:34 |
| Sinnerman | i have a collection of about 140000 .sim files (that's the extension), while i can easily find them with 'find', how do i go about removing all of them? if i pass the files to rm via rm `find | grep \.sim`, of course, it tells me the argument list is too long. | 14:34 |
| Mark_ | joaopinto thanks! | 14:34 |
| Pici | onats: In my opinion: 3 gb swap, 15gb /, rest for /home | 14:35 |
| The-Seiman | Thank you :-) | 14:35 |
| soundray | Crashinit6: I don't think it's such a good idea to deploy wubi like that... It's really best suited for testing whether you like Ubuntu before you do a partition-based install | 14:35 |
| ircleuser | I just installed 7.10 and did´nt read the info that well, and now all my data files are GONE.... can i go back in time? | 14:35 |
| The-Seiman | the gdm restart worked fine | 14:35 |
| Mark_ | glitsj16 i used the backup before the reconfigure...then restarted x, so far so good...i have a visual interface...now to see what has changed! gah! | 14:35 |
| joaopinto | Crashinit6, you could setup an init script for that | 14:35 |
| onats | Pici, 15GB, i won't run out? what if i have virtualbox images, where do they get stored? | 14:35 |
| Gallez | ircleuser: sure, i can sell you my time machine | 14:35 |
| jrib | Sinnerman: use xargs or recompile your kernel | 14:35 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: sorry was looking at a pastebin, you can always Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to restart X | 14:35 |
| Gallez | ircleuser: got bored of talking to hitler and confucius anyway | 14:35 |
| ircleuser | gallez...pleas do! | 14:36 |
| soundray | Crashinit6: but to answer your question, a script called from /etc/rc.local that then deletes its entry from that file would probably do the trick. | 14:36 |
| glitsj16 | ceceboy: just a minute please ok, be right there | 14:36 |
| Sinnerman | jrib: what? that's a little long-winded. anything shorter? i just need to delete a bunch of files. | 14:36 |
| eltopo | not sure | 14:36 |
| Pici | onats: If you store them in your user dir, then its fine. Otherwise, you'd need another partitioning scheme. | 14:36 |
| Dianora | I'll soon find out | 14:36 |
| jrib | Sinnerman: or use -exec with find and match the extension properly with -iname... What's shorter than xargs or this suggestion now? | 14:36 |
| KenSentMe | How can i see if a video i have created is really 16:9? | 14:36 |
| will01 | i use thunderbird, and my dad uses outlook, when he sends emails and i reply, my messages are at the bottom, and when he replies, his are at the top, is there any way to modify thunderbird to automatically have my replies start at the top the same way outlook does? | 14:36 |
| ceceboy | glitsj16: np | 14:36 |
| jeanke | ok, seems to be myth-backend causing it... | 14:36 |
| Crashinit6 | Will Wubi have a problem? I normally sysprep windows before i deploy it. | 14:37 |
| Mark_ | glitsj16 everything seems back to normal for now...after using the cp command above, with my backup file remand where it was (xorg.conf_backup | 14:37 |
| onats | Pici, and anything temporary goes in the swap space right? | 14:37 |
| Sinnerman | jrib: ill look into your second suggestion :). | 14:37 |
| Gallez | can anyone tell me how i can save the contents of xorg.conf after i edit it? | 14:37 |
| Jenny8399 | OMG. I backed up my windows thunderbird email profile. How do I import the email profile on Ubuntu? | 14:37 |
| Mark_ | glitsj16 *will? | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gallez gksudo gedit | 14:37 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: good, glad it got you back to normal | 14:37 |
| ceceboy | Gallez: you need to be sudo | 14:37 |
| jrib | Sinnerman: there were 3 though. pass to xargs, recompile kernel, use -exec (or -delete) with find | 14:37 |
| Pici | onats: Well, techincally it goes in /tmp but you really dont need to worry about that. Swap is more like the pagefile on windows. | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jenny8399 checking now | 14:37 |
| the_eraser | anyone else getting pageload errors in fx ? | 14:37 |
| carlisle | wow | 14:37 |
| joaopinto | Crashinit6, if you are redeploying from scratch, I mean reinstalling the whole system, why not go with a partition install instead ? | 14:37 |
| carlisle | it almost worked | 14:38 |
| onats | Pici, but /tmp will consume from the 15GB partition right? | 14:38 |
| jrib | Sinnerman: if you google the error, you'll get the exact syntax you need by the way | 14:38 |
| Jenny8399 | Thanks Jack_Sparrow | 14:38 |

| soundray | Crashinit6: I can't claim extensive experience, but I wouldn't consider wubi ready for a full productive environment | 14:38 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: check your /etc/X11 dir and make the relevant copies i'd suggest (via the same cp command used earlier) | 14:38 |

| Mille | is it possible to make the icons on the desktop stick to a workspace? | 14:38 |
| Tophat | with WUBI you dont have to repartition, you simply install on the same partition correct? | 14:38 |
| Crashinit6 | ok | 14:38 |
| joaopinto | soundray, isn't wubi officially supported ? | 14:38 |
| joaopinto | Tophat, correct | 14:38 |

| Crashinit6 | I will do that, seeing that it might cause less problems | 14:39 |
| joaopinto | soundray, that usually means production ready ;) | 14:39 |
| Jenny8399 | Jack_Sparrow - It just shows Communicator 0.4x | 14:39 |
| vignesh | joaopinto, yes wubi is officially supported.. | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto it is officially supported... but I will not use or recommend it | 14:39 |

| the_eraser | why can i not go to www.sweclockers.com in FX3 but it works in opera? :/ | 14:39 |
| PaulEU | Eh, I can't find bug in OO :/ | 14:39 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: cd /etc/X11 will get you there | 14:40 |
| Pici | onats: Thats how I have my partitions setup and it works fine here. | 14:40 |
| joaopinto | Jack_Sparrow, that is your personal oppinion, I will use and recommend on specific cases :) | 14:40 |

| mgolisch | ihmselbst_ubuntu: audacious | 14:41 |
| Crashinit6 | soundray That init script. Will it not constantly run everytine you boot into kubuntu? | 14:41 |
| ihmselbst_ubuntu | thx | 14:41 |
| Tophat | loner - sudo apt-get install emerald | 14:41 |
| soundray | joaopinto: would you recommend it for deployment on 400 XP machines? ( Crashinit6) | 14:41 |
| loner | Tophat, i have installed emerald | 14:41 |
| joaopinto | Crashinit6, you just need to use a flag file like /etc/first_run, that you will deleted after running the script | 14:41 |
| noodlesgc | does an | 14:41 |
| vignesh | i use hardy.. whenever i press any number on the number pad, my session gets logged off and im taken back to the loginscreen... can anyone help? | 14:41 |
| noodlesgc | sorry | 14:41 |
| soundray | Crashinit6: that's why I said it should delete its own call from /etc/rc.local once it's done its job. | 14:41 |
| Tophat | loner - System > Preferences > Emerald theme manager. | 14:41 |
| glitsj16 | Mark_: you will have to run a file manager to do that with root permissions --> gksu nautilus (the usual 'be carefull!! applies) | 14:42 |
| Tophat | loner - you can also google for emerald themes, which are very abundant. | 14:42 |
| loner | thank you | 14:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Jenny8399 what is the file extension on that. | 14:44 |
| Mark_ | i also have another question, after installing this program...i cannot uninstall it...wine says "file c:\windowsDIIUnin.dat not found" | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | Crashinit6, just make sure the base install includes an /etc/first_run , and delete after a sucessfull initial config, also probably it would be wise to not start X on the first run | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | erm, wize | 14:44 |
| soundray | carlisle: remind me | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jenny8399 thunderbird import has nothing to do with ubuntu | 14:44 |

| Jenny8399 | Jack_Sparrow - Well the video card doesnt show up | 14:45 |
| mgolisch | Mark_: that path seems to be wrong | 14:45 |
| soundray | carlisle: did you read the section specific to your release? | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jenny8399 You could go read the thunderbird help page on mozilla | 14:45 |
| PaulEU | glitsj16: I created new account and it works.. | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jenny8399 SOunds like ati | 14:45 |
| PaulEU | glitsj16: I think that a file is conflict with OO | 14:45 |
| joaopinto | Crashinit6, being a bit annoying, why are you chosing wubi over a part install ? | 14:45 |
| carlisle | I read the readme and the instructions | 14:45 |

| acer_ | where should submit the report about crashing of fspot | 14:47 |
| carlisle | yes many | 14:47 |
| Mark_ | mgolisch would you suggest another way to uninstall it? should i just delete the folder in .wine? | 14:47 |
| Crashinit6 | this just means that i have to start from scratch again, but that is ok | 14:47 |
| carlisle | GCJ nad a whole list of files | 14:47 |
| soundray | carlisle: then you need to remove all except the one you want to use | 14:47 |
| arashOio | Jenny8399. in terminal type: nautilus ~/.mozilla-thunderbird | 14:47 |
| carlisle | applet has iced tea | 14:47 |
| joaopinto | Crashinit6, well, I believe it's possible to convert from a wubi image to a real install, that shouldn't change much on the work so far, you would just need to recreat the images | 14:48 |
| soundray | carlisle: oh, you've got libgcjplugin, correct? | 14:48 |
| joaopinto | real as in, partition | 14:48 |
| carlisle | not sure | 14:48 |
| Mark_ | mgolisch oh i see, the path should be "C:\windows\DIIUnin.exe" hmm, maybe i can change this in winecfg? | 14:48 |
| carlisle | It says | 14:48 |
| quinn | jagggy, lspci |grep audio | 14:48 |
| soundray | carlisle: no pasting! | 14:48 |
| Crashinit6 | if so then that would be great, I will read up on their site for more info | 14:48 |

| glitsj16 | chuy_max: depending on the location of the file in question i guess it couls be a permissions issue | 16:51 |
| jc___ | killux: I downloaded the latest version from http://www.getdeb.net/ and its seems to work pretty well | 16:51 |
| lepirlouit | Pici : ask again ? on this chat room ? | 16:51 |

| killux | another question, if I import a music folder that I usually manage with windows into rhythmbox, how will it handle the way windows organizes album art? | 16:53 |
| DRebellion | chuy_max, I don't use this feature myself, but perhaps it is based on GNUPG (gnu privacy gaurd) in which case you would need to create a new public key. | 16:53 |
| jc___ | Pici: EvilDennisR : here is the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/21429/ | 16:54 |

| EvilDennisR | hans-solo: So whats the problem? Web files are in /var/www/ | 16:59 |
| NickGarvey | The-Compiler: Secondly, you can export headerless PCM if you want to, using the Options button in the Export dialogue after setting the file type to "WAV, AIFF and other uncompressed types". Set Format to "Other ..." then Header to "RAW (headerless) and Encoding to "Unsigned 8-bit PCM or "Signed 8-bit PCM" depending on which you need ... (the first problem with headerless data is you don't know what you've got). | 16:59 |

| joaopinto | Her1, that is not correct, hd or sd is related to the interface type, not to beeing internal or external | 17:03 |
| EvilDennisR | hans-solo: chown -R hans-solo:hans-solo /var/www/ | 17:03 |
| hans-solo | so should I type "gksudo gedit /var/www/filename.php " every time I edit a file | 17:03 |

| Lunar_Lamp | jeffg076: irssi is popular amongst those that do not want a GUI. | 17:03 |

| ubottu | doubled: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 17:03 |

| nickrud | jc___ no. apt will just try to download it again | 17:04 |
| cjae | genii, yes | 17:04 |

| ubottu | doubled: please see above | 17:11 |
| joaopinto | doubled, automatix is dead | 17:11 |

| mortis | The panel applet doesn't change a thing. | 17:11 |
| joaopinto | doubled, there is nothing on automatix that you can't find on other resources | 17:11 |
| Flannel | hans-solo: that's because that's not a part of Apache itself, that's a distro specific daemon thing | 17:11 |
| nod_ | anyone know why my quake wars don`t start? | 17:11 |
| mudit | hi, i messed up my graphic settings I want to restore everything as it was ehn I firs installed HARDY, can I do so from the UBUNTU HARDY CD ? | 17:11 |

| pokerface3 | Hello all. Anyone in her have any pxe knowledge that could lend me a quick hand | 17:12 |
| nod_ | i haw instaled quake wars and opengl | 17:12 |

| nod_ | logo is showing then program exit and resolution is changing to 640 480 | 17:13 |

| jagggy | any good cd/dvd burning tools? (outside nautilluse's) | 17:14 |
| mudit | anirudh0, well my nVidia card wont accept any drivers from the ubuntu updates or the default hardy drivers, so I installed drivers from the nVidia site, now when i did a system update my graphics are messed up | 17:14 |

| ubottu | openro1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 17:15 |

| mudit | hi, i messed up my graphic settings I want to restore everything as it was ehn I firs installed HARDY, can I do so from the UBUNTU HARDY CD ? | 17:15 |
| EvilDennisR | openro1: Are you using ubuntu already? If so, why don't you just upgrade with update-manager ? | 17:15 |
| kasra | mudit: config Xorg again ?sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 17:15 |

| nickrud | hittingpilot you should be able to use system->admin->hardware drivers, select nvidia and reboot. You should see compiz in action as soon as you log in. If you don't see your card in hardware driver, try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) , and look again | 17:35 |

| blade_ | ok, updated my system this morning, and firefox 3 was installed (icon at top said it was,and i needed to restart firefox.) so i restart.,...but still its running firefox 2.0.0.14 what am i doing wrong? | 17:37 |
| robuntu | i just installed my graphics drivers but i keep loading into low graphics mode, and the xorg.0.log says "(II) LoadModule: "vesa"" and it should be the nvidia module right, can i just change it in the log file or i figure its a log file, so the changes must be made elsewhere. | 17:37 |
| EvilDennisR | hey does firefox3 use your .grkrc-2.0 ? As in, can I bind ctrl+q to NOT exit so that I don't keep accidentally hitting ctrl+q instead of ctrl+w to close a tab ? | 17:37 |
| EvilDennisR | Thats the one bug in FF3 I wish they didn't fix =) | 17:37 |
| doubled | i think everything you can do with beryl, you can do with compiz as well | 17:37 |
| hittingpilot | blade_: go into your apps, you have both versions installed | 17:37 |
| blade_ | hittingpot: no, there is only one version of firefox there...and it is still 2.0.0.14 | 17:38 |

| EvilDennisR | blade_: ps aux|grep firefox - Make sure its completely exited | 17:39 |

| HardDisk | !ssh | enaner | 18:24 |
| ubottu | enaner: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 18:24 |

| FuRom | nickrud, I don't have the package "kubuntu-desktop" o_o'' | 18:29 |

| nickrud | !hardysources | FuRom (check this) | 18:30 |
| ubottu | FuRom (check this): In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 18:30 |
| FuRom | nickrud, nvm... oddly, I typed sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop earlier and it failed, I guessed I typed it wrong or something | 18:31 |
| FuRom | nickrud, EvilDennisR, thanks | 18:31 |
| carib909 | On ubuntu 8.04, anyone know how to change default from headset to speakers? | 18:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Lapsus_ Lost your password? Reboot the box and choose "recovery " from the grub menu - the console right at the very very start - then well when the box boots type "passwd YourUserNameHere" and choose your new password and type reboot and all will be good | 18:36 |
| mudit | it can't be done otherwise ? | 18:36 |
| nickrud | mudit that's it. Those dot files are where your personal settings are kept. And I was assuming a new install. Just stick them in a folder somewhere if you're just saving them | 18:36 |

| EvilDennisR | insurin: Why are you tossing irssi in the bg? Use screen if you need more terminals =) | 18:57 |
| Pici | !screen | insurin | 18:57 |
| ubottu | insurin: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 18:57 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, I did that before I updated, how would I go about uninstalling? Just apt-get uninstall tango-icon-theme ? | 18:57 |
| insurin | hold on cockle, screen is next to learn | 18:57 |

| EvilDennisR | insurin: paused | 19:00 |
| abdullah | س | 19:00 |
| joaopinto | insurin, it will pause | 19:00 |
| fj1200 | zangaman: enter the command "lspci | more" and look for the listing for your wireless card | 19:00 |

| RAdams | lol | 19:00 |
| EvilDennisR | heh.. | 19:00 |
| zangaman | fj i am using the pages you give mme and instaling | 19:00 |
| insurin | so If i Bg it will continue to run | 19:00 |
| zangaman | somting | 19:00 |
| Tophat | you have the linux 2.6 kernel | 19:00 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, In the appearance options Most of my icon sets are shown as red x's, and when I apply a theme, all my icons for files are all little papers, and the ubuntu icon to the left of "Applications" on the taskbar turns into a red X as well. | 19:00 |
| Tophat | john - why not burn the ISO to a cd? | 19:01 |
| fj1200 | ping me back if it does not work | 19:01 |
| RAdams | What's the best practice method to create a group whose members are permitted to watch packets from local network devices? | 19:01 |
| johncoltrane | no cdrom lol | 19:01 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: Thats because its trying to use images that don't exist.. | 19:01 |
| Tophat | john - your pc do usb boots? | 19:01 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: apt-get install tango-icon-theme-common | 19:01 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: if its already installed, dpkg-reconfigure tango-icon-theme-common | 19:01 |
| johncoltrane | Tophat: Probably | 19:01 |
| Tophat | buy a usb drive and burn the iso to the USB | 19:02 |
| joaopinto | RAdams, such practice should be restricted to the sysadmin, the only sane way is to provide admin privileges | 19:02 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, ok, sure, I'll try that and get back to you. | 19:02 |
| gordonjcp | johncoltrane: do you have any machines with a CDROM drive? | 19:02 |
| johncoltrane | Tophat: can I do that with a usb hardrive? | 19:02 |
| RAdams | joaopinto: that makes sense. here's the essential issue, although others may come up: I want to run wireshark as something besides root:root | 19:02 |
| pteague_work | i'm having networking problems... any ideas on this? it seems to find both, & both are listed in ifconfig, but i can't seem to get eth0 configured at all | 19:02 |
| hypn0 | ferfactor: there are a few .conkyrc files at http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html | 19:02 |
| johncoltrane | gordonjcp: not at the moment | 19:03 |
| Tophat | yuppers | 19:03 |
| ferfactor | hypn0: i saw that page but i search differents scripts.... that show the weather!!! | 19:03 |
| insurin | after ctrl-z if I bg will my process continue running | 19:03 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, should I reboot after that? | 19:03 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: no | 19:03 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, Ok then, that didn't work. | 19:04 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: What do you think this is? Winblowz? ;) | 19:04 |
| Sanketsu | Still red X's | 19:04 |
| joaopinto | RAdams, I am not sure linux allows a non root user to set promiscuous device at all | 19:04 |
| joaopinto | erm, i mean, promiscuous mode | 19:04 |
| johncoltrane | Tophat: how do I burn the ISO to the usb hdd? do I have a blank partition? | 19:04 |
| RAdams | joaopinto: then why does wireshark warn that running it as root:root could be dangerous? | 19:04 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, good point. I'm still used to that. I'm still fresh off the truck for the most part. | 19:04 |
| enaner | what should i use to upload videos from my digital camera? | 19:04 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: did you select a different theme, and then switch back to that one ? | 19:04 |
| enaner | download* | 19:04 |
| joaopinto | RAdams, good question :P | 19:05 |
| gordonjcp | johncoltrane: hom | 19:05 |
| gordonjcp | johncoltrane: you can whip the drive out and put it in another machine to install | 19:05 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: if you didn't, exit the appearance prefs and open it again | 19:05 |
| nickrud | insurin was away for a bit. A lot of people use screen with irssi. I don't use irssi, but there's lots on the net about how to do it | 19:05 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: (after you installed those packages) | 19:05 |
| MrKeuner | hello, is vino connections logged somewhere? | 19:05 |
| johncoltrane | gordonjcp: I haven't given up on this method yet http://paste.ubuntu.com/21446/ im gonna reboot and see | 19:06 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, I hadn't had the appearance prefs open when I did that. | 19:06 |
| RAdams | insurin: the first result in google for "screen irssi" (no quotes) is correct. | 19:06 |
| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, still broken. | 19:06 |
| metalpres | obviously this place will be a bit biased, but what do you guys think about opensuse 11 getting released? think its good? think it can knock ubuntu off its spot as the top distro? | 19:06 |
| EvilDennisR | Sanketsu: ok, so select a different icon set/theme and then switch back | 19:06 |
| RAdams | !offtopic | metalpres | 19:06 |

| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, Ok, I went to human and back to Tango, and then human and to lush, and then human back to Tango. Both still not working. | 19:08 |
| joaopinto | !ff3 | ksa3 | 19:08 |

| Sanketsu | EvilDennisR, I'm back, I went to go close firefox and clicked around a few more times. I'd been trying to find something through the wonders of google to help with my problem, I think I found it though. Although it looks like there's no /easy/ fix. | 19:15 |
| RAdams | coolasJon: ls /usr/bin/truecrypt or use locate (see man page for locate). If you're trying to run it, you ought to be able to Alt+F2 and type truecrypt. To make an icon, take a look at a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications for a template. | 19:15 |

| TurtleUrtle | itll do it for u | 20:59 |
| CoronaBW | I just used the partitioning software, it took care of the moving of the data | 20:59 |

| zcat[1] | coolasJon: what program.. you should check it's not in a repo first.. installing your own software out of repos is not a good idea since it's likely to break if something else needs that program, the repo system won't know you installed it and will try to install the official package of it, likely breaking your version and making a huge mess of things | 21:09 |

| eric_ | apt://firefox-3.0 | 22:07 |
| EvilDennisR | leachim6: system -> administration -> users | 22:07 |
| __ryan__ | Nostahl, so it will be updated via update-manager | 22:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daddycool no.. but form the best question you can.. which version of ff, how you installed it.. and if you installed flash after you installed the new ff | 22:07 |
| eric_ | I tried to make the apturl /fail. | 22:07 |
| Nostahl | _ryan_ ah im asking cause i was tryin to do a 14 day trial of eve online and alot of textures just show up as white | 22:07 |
| nixeagle | leachim6, ok, you need to add yourself to the wheel group, or whatever group ubuntu uses for that | 22:07 |
| mindframe- | why is ld-linux.so.2 using 50% CPU and 55% memory | 22:07 |

| smacnay | Hi, I want to forward my Ubuntu X11 over ssh. I see that /etc/sshd/sshd_config have XPortFOrwarding = Yes but I am not sure of what more to do. I have tried sshing into the ubuntu box as a "user" on the ubuntu box (works) but cannot progress from there. | 22:08 |
| leachim6 | nixeagle, I can use sudo .. I added myself in /etc/sudoers | 22:08 |
| Slart | mindframe-: it doesn't settle down after a while? | 22:08 |
| EvilDennisR | leachim6: click unlock, type in your passwd, select your user, hit properties, go to the user privileges tab, and make sure everything is checked | 22:08 |
| leachim6 | %admin is just the default group | 22:08 |
| nixeagle | leachim6, right, add yourself to the user admin group | 22:08 |
| leachim6 | I could make foobar the admin group | 22:08 |
| owner | how can i set an account to require no password | 22:08 |
| unavailable | bobstro heres what i did...: i installed ubuntu on my comp, making sure to click "advanced" at the final step and install grub to my ubuntu drive.. then when that was done, went into windows, used bootpart to get the mbr from the ubuntu part, saved it to c:\bootpart.lnx | 22:08 |
| leachim6 | EvilDennisR, In the user privileges tab ... everything is grayed out | 22:08 |
| mindframe- | Slart, no this has been going on for 10 minutes now | 22:08 |
| leachim6 | allow me to reiterate NO MATTER WHAT I DO | 22:08 |
| EvilDennisR | leachim6: did you click unlock ? | 22:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | owner not advised | 22:08 |
| __ryan__ | Nostahl, i'm not familiar with that | 22:08 |
| leachim6 | unlock is grayed | 22:08 |
| unavailable | bobstro then i added the entry to boot.ini in windows | 22:08 |

| leachim6 | even as root | 22:09 |
| leachim6 | this is a bug | 22:09 |
| leachim6 | it's on launchpad | 22:09 |
| owner | jack, ok what about lowering the min characters | 22:09 |
| eric_ | should checkinstall work for the flash tar.gz file from the adobe website or is it more complicated (im on the x86 architecture) | 22:09 |
| leachim6 | and it's yet to be fixed | 22:09 |
| FloodBot1 | leachim6: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | owner you can have it log in automatically, but for root you will still need password | 22:09 |
| unavailable | bobstro result? ntldr is my boot loader | 22:09 |
| bobstro | unavailable: ah, Bizzeh is having the problem. so you're putting grub under the windows boot loader then? | 22:09 |
| leachim6 | is there a workaround that anyone know's about | 22:09 |
| owner | yes, root will stay with password | 22:09 |
| Nostahl | _ryan_ the other interesting thing i've noticed is like if you go to www.nbc.com and you try to use the popup tabs they go behind the flash video's so you cant see them? in any browsers i've tryed do you get that problem too? | 22:09 |
| owner | just for a certain desktop user | 22:09 |
| unavailable | bobstro uep | 22:09 |
| leachim6 | nixbox, any solutions ? | 22:09 |

| bobstro | unavailable: i'm letting grub run the show, but i've read of folks doing it the windows loader way. | 22:09 |
| glitsj16 | Ashex: could depend on your setup, if you add plugin.expose_full_path to about config in firefox and go to about plugins it will show (mine is at /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so) | 22:09 |

| eric_ | I must have been in early gradeschool :P | 22:16 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: does the VM run in low-res mode? | 22:16 |
| EvilDennisR | leachim6: did you add yourself to all of those groups like I said ? | 22:16 |
| nickrud | djouallah if the stuff was only available from that one repo (didn't replace the ubuntu stuff) you'll find the packages listed in obsolete in synaptic | 22:16 |
| leachim6 | EvilDennisR, yeah | 22:16 |
| EvilDennisR | leachim6: logout and log back in, you should have access to all that stuff now | 22:16 |
| leachim6 | I hope so | 22:16 |
| leachim6 | I'll try | 22:16 |
| unr3a1 | hey al | 22:16 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: nope, i can run it in anything | 22:16 |
| eric_ | I really dont understand why flash support is allways so crummy. | 22:17 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: can or can't? if it runs but looks lousy, did you install the tools? | 22:17 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: nope, didnt install tools | 22:17 |
| teq | hello, my desktop bar (the orange thingy) isnt loading anymore, any tip on how to get it back? thanks. | 22:17 |
| Bizzeh | eric_: because flash is the bane of the internet and should be destroyed | 22:17 |
| unavailable | bizzeh i agree | 22:17 |
| eric_ | Bizzeh, Hear hear!! | 22:17 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: without the tools installed, resolution will be poor and performance will be awful. | 22:17 |
| _Net | eric_: What I never understood was why eventhough firefox supports the install of flash automatically, yet has never worked. I've always had to do it manually. | 22:18 |
| ASULutzy | Bizzeh: Well, we have Silverlight to look forward to as its replacement | 22:18 |
| nickrud | eric_ I just found out that installing libflashsupport is magic when it comes to flash issues ( usual Works for Me™ caveat) | 22:18 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: so XP comes up in the vm, but display is poor, right? | 22:18 |
| teq | _Net: me too | 22:18 |
| unavailable | asulutzy even in firefox? | 22:18 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: nope display is nice, everything is pretty sweet except that the mouse is jittery | 22:18 |
| Bizzeh | ASULutzy: i have used silverlight, it solves alot of the problems i have with flash actually | 22:18 |
| _Net | teq: Can you boot into ubuntu? | 22:18 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: yep, that's sign #1 you need the tools! | 22:18 |
| teq | _Net: yes | 22:18 |
| eric_ | nickrud, i find the repos were totally broke for the beta firefox3 that shipped with hardy | 22:18 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: lemme install tools | 22:18 |
| Bizzeh | its gui is xml based, so all the text is still text within the page... so still accessibility friendly | 22:18 |
| eric_ | nothing made me more angry than having broken flash so i had to go download the flock browser :S | 22:19 |
| unavailable | go figure microsoft to come out with even more software to try to dominate the market... | 22:19 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: you should see marked improvement once installed. also, will you be installing Win2K3 Server? | 22:19 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: right after i install SP3 | 22:19 |
| nickrud | eric_ heh. I waited for the release, just stuck with 2 until yesterday | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eric_ Please move discussions and opinions to offtopic.. | 22:19 |
| ASULutzy | unavailable: Silverlight runs in Firefox and in IE... Last time I checked moonlight ran ok in linux, but obviously if silverlight is still beta, you can't expect too much from moonlight yet | 22:19 |
| eric_ | and that was aweful till i could figure out how to get my overloard google back as my keyword search. | 22:19 |
| teq | _Net: whats not loading is the desktop bar, the orange thing that u use to look for things | 22:19 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: nope, I just need an XP VM to run Adobe CS3 in | 22:19 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: because i guess CS3 is a no go in ubuntu | 22:19 |

| unr3a1 | does anyone else have problems with Firefox 3 displaying fonts on websites ridiculously small? | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb | 22:19 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 22:19 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: BE SURE to turn on graphics acceleration in Win2K3 Server. it's off by default (unlike XP) and it will be LOUSY to use until you do tools and enable it. | 22:19 |
| eric_ | Im pretty much done my rant. | 22:19 |
| Obzolete | mayhemirc.zapto.org port 7000 | 22:19 |
| bobstro | Storrgie: oh then never mind. XP just needs the tools. | 22:20 |
| ASULutzy | unavailable: Eh, silverlight really isn't that bad. I'm doing some brief development with it. You can create some pretty neat rich client applications available online through a webpage with it | 22:20 |
| Obzolete | oops wrong room | 22:20 |
| nickrud | unr3a1 some, until I installed the nosquint extension | 22:20 |
| Bizzeh | also, silverlight is what ms originaly called "sparkle" back in the days of flash 6, but its taken this long for them to put a real dev team into it | 22:20 |
| Storrgie | bobstro: would you please come into #Digital-it | 22:20 |
| m_newton | Quick question, will flash cs3 work in wine | 22:20 |
| teq | hello, my desktop bar (the orange thingy) isnt loading anymore, any tip on how to get it back? thanks. | 22:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m_newton look at the appdb | 22:20 |
| Bizzeh | also, silverlight is drawn via the gfx card (ogl/dx, depending on impelementation), so it can technicaly do alot more than flash... as flash is still ran via the cpu in all implementations | 22:21 |
| unr3a1 | it wouldn't be an issue, if ctrl + wouldn't increase the sizes of images causing them to pixelate | 22:21 |
| bobstro | mjoin #Digital-it | 22:21 |
| bobstro | heh | 22:21 |
| Kungen354646 | how do i get kanjipad to work? | 22:21 |
| ASULutzy | Bizzeh: Yea, objectively silverlight is more powerful than flash is | 22:21 |
| nickrud | unr3a1 that's an option in firefox, I think you can change that to text only resize | 22:21 |
| Slart | Bizzeh: flash doesn't have hardware acceleration?... must have imagined things.. | 22:21 |
| Shaba1 | ok fellas and ladies | 22:22 |
| teq | hello, my desktop bar (the orange thingy) isnt loading anymore, any tip on how to get it back? thanks. | 22:23 |

| unr3a1 | nickrud: where? | 22:23 |
| Shaba1 | is there such a think under ubuntu as "auto-login" | 22:23 |
| Slart | Shaba1: check the .. administration, login window | 22:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shaba1 Yes. | 22:23 |
| Shaba1 | So I do not have to enter my username and pass every time I turn on my laptop | 22:23 |
| Kungen354646 | how do i get kanjipad to work? | 22:23 |
| Shaba1 | no on uses it except me | 22:23 |
| nickrud | unr3a1 could be I have that option added as part of nosquint , I installed it before I did much of anything with ff3 | 22:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info kanjipad | 22:24 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Shaba1 You were given the answer | 22:24 |
| ASULutzy | This is getting a bit offtopic, so last little bit of info about Silverlight vs Flash, there's a decent article explaining why Silverlight is more powerful than Flash that can be found at http://weblogs.asp.net/jezell/archive/2007/05/03/silverlight-vs-flash-the-developer-story.aspx | 22:24 |
| nixeagle | ASULutzy, oh yey silverlight spam :P | 22:25 |
| ASULutzy | nixeagle: I preferenced it with a disclaimer :-/ | 22:25 |
| nixeagle | ASULutzy, Still spam either way :) | 22:25 |
| nixeagle | lol | 22:25 |
| nixeagle | both are proprietary pieces of crap IMHO :P | 22:25 |
| ASULutzy | nixeagle: lol, well, we were discussing it briefly and someone said something about well isn't silverlight just crappy MS Flash, and yea... nixeagle, what about moonlight? That might hold some promise in the realm of open sourcery ;) | 22:26 |
| nixeagle | ASULutzy, perhaps, but its not a webstandard. | 22:26 |
| unr3a1 | nickrud, I wonder why they did that with the fonts? | 22:27 |
| soundray | ASULutzy, nixternal: can you take this elsewhere please | 22:27 |
| Sl4y3r | i was just wondering | 22:27 |

| nixeagle | gah soundray beat me :P | 22:27 |

| erdem_ | my pc volume slow | 22:28 |
| erdem_ | why | 22:28 |
| * nixternal notes his toilet paper is more powerful than flash and silverpoop | 22:28 | |
| Slart | !smp | Sl4y3r | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Sl4y3r: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 22:28 |
| ASULutzy | zendo: You can just edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst to default to the number (ie if Linux is the first item it will default 0, if windows is the second item in grub I believe you can just set default to 1 and it will boot from that by default) | 22:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nixternal Stop | 22:28 |

| soundray | Storrgie: is this a survey? | 22:36 |
| ASULutzy | Storrgie: !ask | 22:36 |
| nickrud | Felonious I tried it recently, I think it hasn't been updated to work with the new layout on gnome-look.org (or is it art.gnome.org?) | 22:36 |

| ASULutzy | !ask | Storrgie | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Storrgie: 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. :-) | 22:36 |
| Felonious | so you get the .png error on all the previews too nickrud? | 22:37 |
| JDLSpeedy | erdem_: you around? | 22:37 |
| nickrud | Felonious I don't remember the exact problems, but it was useless | 22:37 |
| Felonious | lol yea uninstalling | 22:37 |
| enaner | if i accidentally gave out my ifconf info | 22:37 |

| Seveas | hey nickrud | 22:38 |
| Storrgie | Has anyone gotten Hibernate/Sleep to work properly with any of the dell precision laptops? | 22:38 |
| Seveas | enaner, not really | 22:38 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Hey Seveas Nice to see ya.. | 22:38 |
| Felonious | in synaptic... whats the difference between removal and complete removal? | 22:38 |
| ASULutzy | enaner: For the most part I wouldn't worry about it. It gives up your mac address and your ip, but it's not the end of the world | 22:39 |
| Seveas | Felonious, 'removal' will leave configuration files in place | 22:39 |
| xenomorph99 | Hi. Anyone use Ceemedia? When I try to use the search function, I get an error about a plugin not being correct (psyco) - anyone else have this problem? | 22:39 |
| Storrgie | Has anyone gotten Hibernate/Sleep to work properly with any of the dell precision laptops? | 22:39 |
| nickrud | Felonious complete removes the configs in /etc , removal leaves them | 22:39 |
| ASULutzy | Felonious: complete removal essentially does apt-get purge instead of just apt-get remove, it deletes the config files as well | 22:39 |
| Felonious | oh, i thought maybe it would remove and dependent binaries it installed too | 22:39 |
| Felonious | thanks again | 22:39 |
| soundray | Storrgie: why don't you say what's improper about the way it works on yours? | 22:39 |
| ASULutzy | Felonious: If you have dependencies that aren't needed anymore you can use sudo apt-get autoremove I believe | 22:40 |
| Storrgie | soundray: when I sleep/hibernate it goes down, then when coming back on I just see a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.... sometimes I See an arrow in the center of the screen | 22:40 |
| Felonious | nah i actually wanted to keep them, thats why I asked | 22:40 |
| soundray | Storrgie: what do you do when this happens? | 22:41 |
| Storrgie | soundray: I cry. | 22:41 |
| ASULutzy | lol | 22:41 |
| Storrgie | soundray: I give it about 3 minutes then hard power down | 22:41 |
| * soundray pats Storrgie on the back. There there | 22:41 | |
| soundray | Storrgie: my first suggestion is for protecting your filesystems when this happens. | 22:41 |
| pinkster | does ubuntu server contain all the same wifi drivers as the desktop edition? | 22:42 |
| xenomorph99 | Hi. Anyone use Ceemedia? When I try to use the search function, I get an error about a plugin not being correct (psyco) - anyone else have this problem? | 22:42 |
| soundray | Storrgie: you should try to reboot with this key combination: Hold down Alt and PrintScreen, then type R E I S U and B in succession. | 22:42 |
| Seveas | pinkster, yes | 22:42 |
| pinkster | seveas, thanks... cool | 22:42 |
| Storrgie | soundray: mind joining #Digital-it thats where I am with a couple of others discussing this | 22:43 |
| soundray | Storrgie: if the kernel responds to that, it will effect a clean unmount and shutdown. | 22:43 |
| ASULutzy | soundray: What's the mnemonic to remember the REISUB thing? | 22:43 |
| soundray | ASULutzy: I remembered the sequence and forgot the mnemonic. Something with elephants | 22:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Storrgie That is an ati video card right | 22:44 |
| mohadib | any ideas how i can get the gdm background to show on all displays? | 22:44 |
| koen_ | hi, how do i open a .conf file in terminal? | 22:44 |
| soundray | koen_: for editing? | 22:44 |
| mohadib | koen_: nano file.conf | 22:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Storrgie The Suspend/Hibernate function stopped working. The problem was due to the new SLUB allocator incorporated in 2.6.22 / 2.6.23 Kernel. The problem has been solved in the AMD Catalyst 7.12 driver release. Suspend/hibernate is not working for FireGL 5250. | 22:44 |
| ASULutzy | soundray: lol, found it REISUB = "Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring" | 22:44 |
| SiegeX | does ubuntu 8.04 have a .deb for some sort of task/tool bar that closely emulated the OSX one? | 22:44 |
| teq | koen_: use nano before the filename | 22:44 |

| lonejack | hi, I found a minor bug for video driver(nvidia proprietary), where I have to signal it? | 22:44 |
| FAJALOU | SiegeX: yes awn | 22:44 |
| SiegeX | FAJALOU: thanks | 22:45 |
| Storrgie | Jack_Sparrow: I have a nvidia Quadro 360M | 22:45 |
| FAJALOU | SiegeX: it's called avant-window-navigator. it is the closest one to the mac one you will find | 22:45 |
| xenomorph99 | Does awn need compiz ? | 22:45 |
| FAJALOU | but, as far as i know, it doesn't allow you to add programs to it | 22:45 |
| FAJALOU | xenomorph99: i don't believe so... | 22:45 |
| FAJALOU | i think it is an app all by itself | 22:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Storrgie Almost all of the issues with suspend.hibernate end up with video drivers | 22:45 |
| ghindo | xenomorph99: Yes, to run properly | 22:45 |
| FAJALOU | o, my bad | 22:46 |
| pgreptom | Anyone have issues usinga USB keyboard with Grub? It won't let me choose between OS options. Keyboard works fine after machine is booted. | 22:46 |
| xenomorph99 | ta | 22:46 |
| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: would you recommend to upgrade the driver somehow, then? ( Storrgie) | 22:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SiegeX look up cairo-dock | 22:46 |
| xenomorph99 | Hi. Anyone use Ceemedia? When I try to use the search function, I get an error about a plugin not being correct (psyco) - anyone else have this problem? | 22:46 |
| Storrgie | Jack_Sparrow: any suggestions for my setup then? | 22:46 |
| Felonious | i have no troubles pgreptom | 22:46 |
| FAJALOU | pgreptom: what kind of keyboard is it? | 22:46 |
| pgreptom | Felonious, Strange. Legacy is enabled. | 22:46 |
| pgreptom | FAJALOU, It's a Logitech. | 22:46 |
| jayt | can some one tell me tthe steps i need to take or link me to a guide that tells me how get windows xp to detect the harddrive that ubuntu used i don't know how to reformat the hardrive without reinstalling ubuntu to another drive and reformating the origanal drive, but i can't do that as i don't have another drive to use... any help would be great? | 22:46 |
| pgreptom | It's *really* annoying. I LOVE the keyboard.. but this isn't cutting it. | 22:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Storrgie Do you have the issue if you set video to vesa mode? | 22:46 |
| Storrgie | Jack_Sparrow: dont know how to do that sir. | 22:47 |
| ghindo | xenomorph99: You at least need some sort of compositing manager | 22:47 |
| SiegeX | im already running compiz so thats no biggie. but i cant add my own shortcut icons to AWN? | 22:47 |
| SiegeX | its pre-populated or something? | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Storrgie not saying that is a soultion, just an effort to define the problem | 22:47 |
| ghindo | xenomorph99: http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation#Prerequisites | 22:47 |
| FAJALOU | hmmm, pgreptom i am on a microsoft ergonomic keyboard, and it works fine, but it is ps2 | 22:47 |
| soundray | jayt: you'd be easier to read if you used some punctuation | 22:47 |
| koen_ | thx boys | 22:47 |
| scifiguy951 | i need help installing counter strike!! | 22:47 |
| jayt | soundray sorry | 22:47 |
| FAJALOU | pgreptom: can you shoose your bios settings etc can you get into those? | 22:47 |
| koen_ | now i enjoy root acces =)) | 22:47 |
| pgreptom | FAJALOU, Yes, I can get into BIOS fine. It's pretty odd. I don't think it worked with Vista's boot loader, either. | 22:47 |
| db92 | hey i switched from gnome to kde for the x, but the default programs that are used to open a few specific files have been changed. how can i set with which program each file gets launched? >> | 22:47 |

| === eddyMul is now known as LuminE_ | ||

| soundray | jayt: anyway, I'd suggest you use a live CD and delete unneeded partitions with gparted | 22:47 |
| scifiguy951 | yes | 22:47 |
| === LuminE_ is now known as eddyMul | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | koen_ USe carefully | 22:48 |
| xenomorph99 | I can't use it then. I find a lot of 3D apps don't work with Compiz | 22:48 |
| koen_ | just for sharing :) | 22:48 |
| FAJALOU | db92: switch back to gnome ;) | 22:48 |
| Storrgie | Jack_Sparrow: I dunno if I should install drivers right from nvidia... or use the nvidia restricted drivers.... | 22:48 |
| SiegeX | FAJALOU: do you mean that AWN is just a taskbar, not a launcher? | 22:48 |
| jayt | ok cool soundray gparted is alredy installed with the ubuntu live cd? | 22:48 |
| FAJALOU | SiegeX: yes | 22:48 |
| db92 | FAJALOU, sounds like a plan | 22:48 |

| doubled | hm i have another question, i just shared a map via linux. samba style :p but when i want to approach it via my windows computer it ask for a username and password, but even if i fill it in it comes back up | 22:49 |

| mortis | Is it possible for me to use my soundcards own sound drivers with Ubuntu? | 22:49 |

| mortis | ? | 22:49 |
| mortis | ALSA* | 22:49 |
| sint | hey, how to delete an known host from .ssh/known_hosts without deleting the whole file? | 22:49 |
| FAJALOU | db92: ok b/c i installed it and then uninstalled it with a different tutorial and it screwed me over, i had to reinstall ubuntu b/c of dependencies etc :/ | 22:49 |
| scifiguy951 | ?? | 22:50 |
| Seveas | sint, sed -e /hostname.here/d -i ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 22:50 |
| Seveas | sint, if you didn't disable known hosts hashing, you might nieed to find the hashed value first :) | 22:50 |
| sint | whats /d? cause its just an ip | 22:50 |
| Seveas | /d means delete matching lines | 22:50 |
| eddyMul | more of a Python question: in unittest, how do I feed a Model's __init__ to assertRaises ? | 22:51 |
| Slart | mortis: the soundcards own drivers? what kind of soundcard are we talking about? | 22:51 |
| Seveas | sed -e /ip.address/d -i ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 22:51 |
| Seveas | will work :) | 22:51 |
| mortis | Creative Sound Blaster Live | 22:51 |
| sint | ok, i have this hashstuff on, this is why i am asking | 22:51 |
| Slart | mortis: it has linux drivers of it's own? | 22:51 |
| mortis | I don't know | 22:51 |
| sint | Seveas: usually i was used to see the plain ip | 22:51 |
| KyleK | sint: when ssh complains to me I do vi ~/.ssh/known_hosts then :8<enter> <-- it says what line, then dd then :wq<enter> | 22:51 |
| mortis | That's what I was asking, if I'd be able to use its drivers | 22:51 |
| Seveas | sint, then find out how it hashes | 22:51 |
| jayt | soundray: is gparted a live CD by itself, or can i run it with the ubuntu live CD? | 22:51 |
| mortis | How do I check my PC specs from terminal? | 22:52 |
| Seveas | (put this in ~/.ssh/config to disable the hashing: HashKnownHosts no) | 22:52 |
| jbroome | it's on the ubuntu live cd | 22:52 |
| doubled | creative and linux is a no-no | 22:52 |
| Slart | mortis: you would have to read the instructions of these imaginary drivers to know that.. | 22:52 |
| xenomorph99 | Is there an application under Ubuntu that can adminster an ipod without having to use itunes ? | 22:52 |
| doubled | i tried it with my creative card | 22:52 |
| doubled | it wont work | 22:52 |
| Slart | mortis: but usually you don't install drivers for soundcards.. | 22:52 |
| FAJALOU | xenomorph99: yes i use amarok and that works fine for picking it up | 22:52 |
| doubled | its possible to make it work via OSS but you wont have full functionality | 22:52 |
| Slart | !ipod | xenomorph99 | 22:52 |
| ubottu | xenomorph99: 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 | 22:52 |
| xenomorph99 | cheers | 22:52 |
| sint | KyleK; .... .ssh/known_hosts:1 < does this mean line 1 ? | 22:52 |
| jayt | rockbox is nice for ipod | 22:52 |
| soundray | jayt: both -- you have a choice. If you don't have a live CD at the moment, the gparted live CD is a smaller download than the Ubuntu one. | 22:52 |
| KyleK | 1yea | 22:53 |
| Slart | doubled: creative and linux works just fine.. it's just the latest x-fi cards that isn't supported | 22:53 |
| KyleK | sint: yea line 1 | 22:53 |
| sint | KyleK: k thanks :) | 22:53 |
| doubled | ah, i take back my words then (partially) | 22:53 |
| doubled | but its creative's fault | 22:53 |
| hetz | Hi people. I was wondering if anyone here is from Canonical, to speak about the LTS desktop | 22:53 |
| Slart | doubled: indeed... I agree with that.. | 22:53 |
| sint | KyleK: works nice thanks alot | 22:53 |
| doubled | the linux drivers they brought out for the x-fi series isnt working either | 22:53 |
| db92 | doubled, havign trouble with x-fi? >> | 22:53 |
| xenomorph99 | You have to replace the firmware in the iPod? | 22:53 |
| jayt | soundray: ahh i see well have the ubuntu CD on hand so ill go use that, ware would i be able to find it its a gutsy disk btw? | 22:54 |
| doubled | hehe yeah | 22:54 |
| db92 | doubled, whats not working for ye? | 22:54 |
| doubled | so im using my onboard one now | 22:54 |
| doubled | well its not getting detected by alsa | 22:54 |

| doubled | but cant use it still | 22:55 |
| jayt | soundray: i mean ware would i be able to launch gparted using the ubuntu live CD? | 22:55 |
| soundray | jayt: open a terminal and run 'gksudo gparted' | 22:55 |
| FAJALOU | jayt: it is under system>administration>partition editor in the live cd i believe | 22:55 |
| doubled | back to my other question :p i just shared a map via linux. samba style :p but when i want to approach it via my windows computer it ask for a username and password, but even if i fill it in it comes back up | 22:55 |
| soundray | jayt: it's also somewhere in the menus -- System-Administraiton-....something | 22:55 |
| mortis | I'm asking because ALSA is really not satisfying my needs... | 22:56 |
| jayt | FAJALOU: and soundray thanks for the info ill do that | 22:56 |
| FAJALOU | np | 22:56 |
| xenomorph99 | Do you have to replace the firmware in an ipod to use it under Linux or is it ok just with amarok? | 22:56 |
| FAJALOU | xenomorph99: i use an mp3 player with amarok | 22:56 |
| Seveas | xenomorph99, the latter | 22:56 |
| FAJALOU | and it works fine | 22:56 |
| Ballena | How do I see all the groups on my system? (no the command groups because it does not show all groups) | 22:56 |
| |Juan| | I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. | 22:56 |
| yuri_ | hey guys, how would I go about creating an "open with" command that will move the file to a certain directory? Ive tried $ mv %u ~/down ... how do I make this work? | 22:56 |

| kkathman | ipods work fine with amarok | 22:57 |

| ubottu | mark_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:00 |
| mortis | Besides OSS, that doesn't work well. | 23:00 |
| mark_ | soundray: does anyone here do commercial support? | 23:01 |
| mohadib | any ides on getting the gdm background image to display on all monitors? | 23:01 |
| javier | Seveas, i got it all in spanish except open office, here i got spanish as the default | 23:01 |
| jayt | ipods work great with ubuntu mortis | 23:01 |
| db92 | FAJALOU, nothing i know about. elaborate? :p | 23:01 |
| soundray | mark_: I don't. Why are you asking me? | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mark_ many of us do... for windows | 23:01 |
| mark_ | mhi opaul, do you know the answer to ma question? what is a good online backup solution for ubuntu? | 23:01 |
| glitsj16 | db92: like FAJALOU states, shell script is the way, kust make sure that the applications are done before re-enabling compiz if they conflict with that | 23:01 |
| ompaul | mark_, the idea of some suggesting an online backup here is bad - that is a commercial proposition please go and evaluate your options | 23:01 |
| doubled | back to my other question :p i just shared a map via linux. samba style :p but when i want to approach it via my windows computer it ask for a username and password, but even if i fill it in the box comes back up. i cant access the shared folder | 23:02 |
| NighTi^ | hello | 23:02 |
| FAJALOU | db92: you need to start it with #!bin/bash | 23:02 |
| KyleK | yea dont want this place turning into omg omgomg use my service flood flood flood | 23:02 |
| mark_ | ompaul: is it? OK. I was more thinking of just the software required, I already have server etc. I can host it with | 23:02 |
| soundray | db92: write a script and call that from the launcher | 23:02 |
| FAJALOU | then the commands in the order you want. | 23:02 |
| SiegeX | #!/bin/bash | 23:02 |
| === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale | ||
| SiegeX | forgot the 1st '/' | 23:03 |
| mark_ | e.g. ftp or php or something on one side and then ubuntu on the other side running a period delta backup | 23:03 |
| NighTi^ | i seem to have a problem with external hard drive. it all used to work fine but then i started meddling around a bit... now "owner" of the "My Book" (ext hd) is "guest" and group is "root"... it doesn't allow me to change owner with chmod even if i do "su" | 23:03 |
| mark_ | is there any cool ubuntu software that does this? | 23:03 |
| CorpseFeeder | Who here thinks they can help me get a pcmcia firewire card to work, for the purpose of connecting a digital video camera to use with Kino? | 23:03 |
| nickrud | mark_ if you have enough access to the on line machine, rsync would suit you from the very little you've said | 23:03 |
| Slart | !backup | mark_ , don't know if you've seen this already.. | 23:04 |
| ubottu | mark_ , don't know if you've seen this already..: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 23:04 |
| apophis_ch | mark_, try rsync | 23:04 |
| mark_ | soundray: I just asked you because you mentioned it right after I joined...I missed the first part of your conversation though :( | 23:04 |
| SiegeX | mark_: rsnapshot is the best ive seen, although I dont know if there is a .deb for it, I used it on slackware | 23:04 |
| lakis1982 | hiii . when i press suspend button computer goes into sleep mode... but after , when i press the power button the computer starts running normally , but screen doesnt start .. and then i have to restart the system ... can u help me ?? | 23:04 |
| ompaul | mark_, you want rsync or bacula | 23:04 |
| SiegeX | mark_: but it uses rsync to allow you to have infi "snapshots" without taking up hardly any space for each snapshot | 23:05 |
| Ballena | To get write access to the /var/www owned by www-data; is the only thing I have to do adding me self as a member of that group? | 23:05 |
| rawb | is it better to use aptitude/command-line for installing updates than the synaptic GUI? | 23:05 |
| XenophonF | any hard core qemu or kvm users around? i'd like to ask how to enable audio emulation for my virtual machines via virt-manager/libvirtd. | 23:05 |
| SiegeX | mark_: it basically uses hardlinks for the files that dont change from snapshot to snapshot | 23:05 |
| slayton | Ballena that should work | 23:05 |
| nickrud | rawb whichever suits the way you work, they all do the same thing in the backend | 23:06 |
| glitsj16 | rawb: it's the same thing, the GUI works with the exact same commands behind the scenes | 23:06 |
| |Juan| | I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. | 23:06 |
| XenophonF | Virtual Machine Manager doesn't give me the option to add audio hardware to my virtual machines. | 23:07 |
| SiegeX | does anybody here use Virtualbox ? | 23:08 |
| baraka | Hello i would like to ask for your kindly help. Yesterday i installed xubuntu and now i would like to instal amule... can you please help me?? | 23:08 |
| Ne0_WizArd | need help with wireless | 23:08 |
| soundray | !anyone | SiegeX | 23:08 |
| ubottu | SiegeX: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:08 |
| pressenter | Good evening. | 23:08 |
| soundray | !wireless | Ne0_WizArd | 23:08 |
| ubottu | Ne0_WizArd: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:08 |
| mark_ | cool | 23:08 |
| SiegeX | !i already did | ubottu =) | 23:08 |
| ubottu | Factoid i already did not found | 23:08 |
| Obzolete | mayhemirc.zapto.org port 7000 | 23:08 |
| mark_ | so does rsync require sshd? | 23:08 |
| Ne0_WizArd | thanks | 23:09 |
| mark_ | on the target system i mean | 23:09 |
| scifiguy951 | can someone help me install counter strike source?? | 23:09 |
| pressenter | Anyone hre maybe has an FSC laptop with their wifi card, that is identified by ubuntu as Fujitsu Siemens Computers WLAN 802.11b/g? | 23:09 |
| mark_ | the one you want to hold the backups, not the one you want to backup | 23:09 |
| XenophonF | mark: rsync can use ssh but it isn't required | 23:09 |
| grndslm | what do you guys think of Ubuntu Mobile on the Gigabyte M528 ?? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=819951 | 23:09 |
| apophis_ch | baraka, open console: sudo apt-get install amule | 23:09 |
| SiegeX | no, rsnapshot (which uses rysnc) can do SSH, NFS, FTP for remote backup afaik | 23:09 |
| XenophonF | but it's better if you do | 23:09 |
| mark_ | cool | 23:09 |
| SiegeX | mark_: the documentation is pretty good on rsnapshot's site | 23:09 |
| soundray | grndslm: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 23:09 |
| XenophonF | i don't think rsyncd does authentication, for example | 23:09 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: thanks :) | 23:10 |
| mark_ | I will now go and read it | 23:10 |
| mark_ | I still have old versions of ubuntu | 23:10 |
| enaner | ne one here noe about ubuntu-server? i need some immediate help | 23:10 |
| Prose | is there a way to test my fileserver's speed on the LAN Network ? | 23:10 |
| Prose | !ask | 23:11 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:11 |
| tonyyarusso | enaner: First, use real words. Second, just ask your question and find out. | 23:11 |
| Slart | Prose: there is a benchmark for ethernet connection.. | 23:11 |
| ompaul | !patience | enaner (also please see #ubuntu-server) | 23:11 |
| ubottu | enaner (also please see #ubuntu-server): The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:11 |
| slayton | Prose pick a file of a known size then transfer it while timing the transfer | 23:11 |
| mohadib | any ides on getting the gdm background image to display on all monitors? anyone :( | 23:11 |
| slayton | enaner join #ubuntu-server | 23:11 |
| enaner | slayton: no ones there :( | 23:11 |
| SiegeX | mark_: right now I do daily snapshots on about 27gigs, and at any given time I have: the last 7 days, the last 4 weeks, the last 6 months and its only using 32gigs for *all* of those snapshots combined | 23:11 |
| javier | how do i change my open office default language???? | 23:11 |
| scifiguy951 | can someone help me install counter strike source?? | 23:11 |
| Slart | Prose: iperf, I think it's called.. but it won't benchmark your file server.. just the connection | 23:12 |
| Prose | slayton: I guess but I would rather have some program tell me the same thing ;) | 23:12 |
| XenophonF | with virtual machine manager and kvm/qemu, how do i add virtual audio hardware? audio emulation works if i run kvm from the command line, but that doesn't set up all the bridged or natted networking that libvirtd does for me in the background | 23:12 |
| slayton | enaner: ask your question and be patient, Remember we are all volunteers | 23:12 |
| m_newton | OH that is ctrl+atl+backspace | 23:12 |
| enaner | slayton yes ofcourse | 23:12 |
| lakis1982 | hiii . when i press suspend button computer goes into sleep mode... but after , when i press the power button the computer starts running normally , but screen doesnt start .. and then i have to restart the system ... can u help me ?? | 23:12 |
| slayton | Prose: you could try a verbose SCP I think it has a transfer rate bar thingy | 23:12 |
| scifiguy951 | can someone help me install counter strike source?? | 23:12 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: that sounds cool... I only have a small disk on this laptop | 23:13 |
| soundray | javier: enable your language in System-Administration-Language Support, then choose a session in your language at login time | 23:13 |
| scifiguy951 | pm me please!! | 23:13 |
| scifiguy951 | pm me please!! | 23:13 |
| SiegeX | mark_: and what i mean by 'the last 4 weeks' or 'last 6 month's is that after the latest daily snapshot is a week old, it gets auto-renamed week1, then a week after thats old it gets renamed week2 and so on until month1. Then month1 gets renamed to month2 after a month etc | 23:13 |
| scifiguy951 | can someone help me install counter strike source?? | 23:13 |
| Prose | slayton: well actually, I am trying to understand why a PATA ultra-100 has transfer speeds of 10MB/s over LAN (no wi-fi) | 23:13 |
| FloodBot1 | scifiguy951: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:13 |
| baraka | apophis_ch it is sais cannot find amule | 23:13 |
| slayton | Prose: Yes it does, just get a big file, try scp -r <filename> <destination> and it should pop up a transfer gauge with the speed | 23:13 |
| scifiguy951 | ?? | 23:13 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: have you ever tried a restore? | 23:13 |
| SiegeX | mark_: I don't have 6months worth of daily snapshots though | 23:13 |
| Slart | scifiguy951: ask in #winehq instead | 23:13 |
| slayton | Prose: that yes it does was in reference to my earlier post not yours... sorry | 23:14 |
| scifiguy951 | ok | 23:14 |
| enaner | slayton: I would like to access a PC(ubuntu-server) that is connected to the same router as the one I am currently using (ubuntu hard). What should I do if I want to use the server computer headless aka from this computer through SSH. I have no idea, and I will have to do it now, as I will have to return my brothers keyboard and Monitor ASAP .. thanks in advance for your help. :) | 23:14 |
| apophis_ch | baraka, then try first: sudo apt-get update (and then the line from above) if that doesnt help, what ubunutu do you have installed?) | 23:14 |
| askand | How does cryptation in pidgin work? | 23:14 |
| mark_ | Ideally I would like to use backup as a way of sharing my documents folder around a number of machines | 23:14 |
| glitsj16 | lakis1982: you could try the support pages for laptops at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam .. they have specifics about each brand/model and what it supports under ubuntu .. hibernate/sleep is usualy mentioned | 23:14 |
| slayton | enaner: do you know the IP of the other machine? | 23:14 |
| javier | soundray, but all my ubuntu is in spanish the only thing that isnt is the open office | 23:14 |
| mark_ | i mean use the fact that I can sync and restore etc | 23:14 |
| baraka | xubuntu | 23:14 |
| enaner | slayton yes :) | 23:14 |
| tonyyarusso | enaner: just install openssh-server on the machine to be accessed. | 23:14 |
| lakis1982 | i dont have lapto | 23:14 |
| slayton | enaner, can you ssh <IP> | 23:14 |
| SiegeX | mark_: if you just want to share a folder over the network you only need NFS or Samba if you want windows computers to see it | 23:15 |
| glitsj16 | lakis1982: my apologies, i assumed you did | 23:15 |
| slayton | enaner: what exactly are you trying to do? | 23:15 |
| soundray | javier: I still suggest you go through System-Administration-Language Support and log out and back in. If it still doesn't work, ask again | 23:15 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: nah, would like it on the phyiscal disks as I sometimes up and move about | 23:15 |
| SiegeX | mark_: this would be way overkill for that, this is incase you accidentally deleted something critical or you wanted to see how some file(s) have changed over the course of time etc. | 23:15 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: yes, there is that benefit too | 23:16 |
| javier | soundray, ok thanks ill try | 23:16 |
| bvd | How do I run an *.run file? When I am trying it says: bash: run: command not found | 23:16 |
| baraka | sorry apophis_ch but it sais the same | 23:16 |
| SiegeX | mark_: ok well just plain rsync gets the first thing you want done | 23:16 |
| Prose | slayton: hmm nothing visual indicating transfer speed over ssh :( | 23:16 |
| mark_ | I have lots of critical stuff, well stuff that takes time to do so I dont want to lose it | 23:16 |
| mark_ | nice one | 23:16 |
| glitsj16 | lakis1982: did you add anything to the kernel boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst for that to work ? basically a location where the files can be written to ? | 23:16 |
| CorpseFeeder | Help me! I have the Firewire PCMCIA card plugged into the laptop and the camera is plugged in and switched on. When I look at Kino Preferences under the IEEE 1394 tab, it says "The IEEE 1394 Subsystem is not responding. The raw1394 module must be loaded, and you must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394" - What do I need to do? | 23:16 |
| Slart | bvd: ./filetorun | 23:16 |
| bvd | Thank you Slart | 23:16 |
| slayton | Prose did you try the -v arg? | 23:16 |
| SiegeX | bvd: either chmod +x the file first, then ./some_file.run or you can do 'bash some_file.run' | 23:17 |
| Prose | I tried the -r one | 23:17 |
| soundray | enaner: on the server, 'sudo apt-get install ssh', then find out its LAN IP with ifconfig. Then you can 'ssh username@192.168.1.1' from the other machine | 23:17 |
| mark_ | what is a hard link anyway | 23:17 |
| slayton | prose: you want the VERBOSE arg try -v | 23:17 |
| mark_ | a filesystem link | 23:17 |
| soundray | enaner: replacing the username and IP appropriately, of course | 23:17 |
| mark_ | ? | 23:17 |
| Prose | slayton: doing so | 23:17 |
| SiegeX | mark_: ya, its like a shortcut | 23:17 |
| slayton | Prose: -v will spit out a lot of text but in the end you will see a transfer bay | 23:17 |
| lakis1982 | i dont think so | 23:17 |
| LetsGo67 | How do I edit mpeg video in Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| Prose | slayton: nada when I tell it to verbose over ssh | 23:18 |
| SiegeX | mark_: technically its two file names pointing to the same 'inode' | 23:18 |
| lakis1982 | i only changed one the default boot OS. the default was kubuntu , and i set the default to vista | 23:18 |
| Prose | I only get "Executing: cp bigfile" | 23:18 |
| soundray | LetsGo67: video editors are: kino, kenlive, lives, cinelerra | 23:18 |
| LetsGo67 | Which works the best for Xubuntu? | 23:18 |
| Prose | man , I really wish I'd know if slow transfer speeds between my fileserver and the rest of the world is due to HD speed, processor, samba protocol, CPU or LAN connection :( | 23:18 |
| SiegeX | mark_: so if file1 didnt change from the last time you took the snapshot, no reason to copy duplicate data, rather just create a hardlink with the same filename but points to the existing copy already on disk | 23:19 |
| glitsj16 | lakis1982: i think you need to add at least something in the line of "resume=/dev/xxx" (point that to a real partition on your drive(s)) | 23:19 |
| slayton | Prose, how big is the file your transfering? | 23:19 |
| LetsGo67 | Soundray: Which works the best for Xubuntu? | 23:19 |
| KyleK | Prose: each of those is testable | 23:19 |
| soundray | LetsGo67: no idea. Video editing is fairly demanding... | 23:19 |
| javier | soundray, didnt work | 23:19 |
| lakis1982 | where should i add this | 23:19 |
| Prose | slayton: 230MB | 23:19 |
| slayton | Prose, how big is the file your transfering? | 23:19 |
| soundray | javier: okay | 23:19 |
| lakis1982 | ?? | 23:19 |
| ramier | hi there; is there some linux program or command that can show every process that is currently transferring data over my ethernet interface? | 23:20 |
| slayton | prose: oops, did you wait for a while... it shows up for me after I type in the password | 23:20 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: oh right I see, so it makes a complete copy does it compress it too? | 23:20 |
| SiegeX | mark_: hardlinks cant cross partitions though, so the first thing that rsnapshot does is duplicate your existing '/' partition to some new drive and then creates hardlinks off of the data there | 23:20 |
| ramier | gkrellm is showing a lot of network traffic but i don't know where its from | 23:20 |
| Prose | KyleK: I slightly don't feel like trying different HD, CPUs and protocols one after the other | 23:20 |
| javier | hi how can i change the default language of open office, not using language support????? | 23:20 |
| slayton | Prose: http://pastebin.com/d480bfe9a | 23:20 |
| lakis1982 | glitsj16? | 23:20 |
| soundray | javier: have you got the package openoffice.org-l10n-es ? | 23:20 |
| Prose | slayton: it finisehd transferring and gave the prompt | 23:20 |
| Slart | javier: it's in one of the preferences tabs | 23:20 |
| slayton | Prose: look in the bottom right, transfer rates show up | 23:20 |
| mark_ | SiegeX: sorry I understand what a hard link is, I couldn't see how they made use of them to reduce the amount of file copying :) | 23:21 |
| Slart | javier: if you mean document language | 23:21 |
| mark_ | obviously I have never used them myself | 23:21 |
| javier | soundray, i ont know let me check | 23:21 |
| KyleK | Prose: i meant like dd if=/dev/drive of=/dev/null see how fast it goes, how much cpu that sucks | 23:21 |
| slayton | Prose: well sorry I can't tell you more.... | 23:21 |
| Slart | mark_: if you make multiple backups of lots of files there are bound to be many files that are unchanged.. they use the same file-data space and just a hard link is added | 23:21 |
| Prose | slayton: I will try a 4GB file... maybe it needs more 'data' to have statistical pertinence | 23:21 |
| Prose | slayton: thanks anyways :) | 23:22 |
| cellofellow | hey, this started just today (Firefox updated yesterday), when I go to download a file it segfaults and crashes. It does it when I push the Save button. Anybody else having this problem? | 23:22 |
| enaner | soundray: root@enaner-desktop:~# ssh 127.0.0.1 | 23:22 |
| enaner | ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused | 23:22 |
| Prose | KyleK: i dont know the dd command, I'll man it | 23:22 |
| glitsj16 | lakis1982: sorry, was helping out someone i gave instructions to before .. you need to add this at the /boot/grub/menu.lst on the line of the kernel you boot (might have to add that to all if you switch a lot between them), add it to the end | 23:22 |
| javier | soundray, no im installing it now | 23:22 |
| slayton | Prose: ok good luck, I transfered a 240mb file and it showed up for me | 23:22 |
| Prose | KyleK: hmm okay, convert and copy | 23:22 |
| slayton | Prose I'm running hardy with gnome-terminal | 23:22 |
| SiegeX | mark_: also you can tell rsnapshot to ignore certain paths, for example /tmp which probably does change alot from snapshot-to-snapshot but you dont really care about that data so no reason to waste space on it | 23:22 |
| soundray | enaner: do not paste stuff here, especially without an explanation | 23:22 |
| slayton | enaner: what are you trying to do? | 23:23 |
| Prose | slayton: 7.1 via ssh myself but I might plug a screen and see if local access does anything | 23:23 |
| slayton | enaner, you don't have openssh-server installed | 23:23 |
| javier | Star, n o i mean default language | 23:23 |
| ompaul | enaner, please type sudo apt-get install openssh-server if you want to do that | 23:23 |
| slayton | Prose, it shouldn't make a difference you get the same terminal output | 23:23 |
| javier | soundray, now that i got it hwo do i make it default?? | 23:23 |
| Prose | slayton: yeah you're probably right | 23:23 |
| soundray | enaner: you need to find out the LAN address of the server (not the lo address) | 23:23 |
| schmitty | anyone know a good place to download gnome themes? | 23:23 |
| CorpseFeeder | Help me! I have the Firewire PCMCIA card plugged into the laptop and the camera is plugged in and switched on. When I look at Kino Preferences under the IEEE 1394 tab, it says "The IEEE 1394 Subsystem is not responding. The raw1394 module must be loaded, and you must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394" - What do I need to do? | 23:24 |
| ompaul | schmitty, you can check out gnome-looks.org | 23:24 |
| tonyyarusso | slayton, ompaul, enaner: It's also possible (though unlikely I'd guess) that the ssh server is installed but not running, in which case the solution would be 'sudo invoke-rc.d ssh start'. | 23:24 |
| javagamer | Can I install Ubuntu on a HD then move it to a different computer? | 23:24 |
| enaner | ompaul: on the desktop or server? | 23:24 |
| Slart | javagamer: probably | 23:24 |
| Prose | what kind of fileserving speed would you exptect from a fileserver on wi-fi 802.11g / | 23:24 |
| gordonjcp | javagamer: yes | 23:24 |
| Prose | ? | 23:24 |
| soundray | javier: it will be when you next log in. If not, you may have to remove $HOME/.openoffice.org2 (be careful and back it up) | 23:24 |
| javagamer | I'm trying to install it on a computer which won't boot fromt he CD. | 23:24 |
| cellofellow | Firefox segmentation fault when downloading a file. This happening to anyone else? | 23:24 |
| ompaul | enaner, on the server if you want to log into it | 23:24 |
| Prose | scrap that, stupid question | 23:25 |
| soundray | javagamer: I have done this. The machines must be reasonably similar | 23:25 |
| Slart | javagamer: I think it still needs to be the same architecture.. so both machines use the same kernel etc | 23:25 |
| pressenter | Nite. | 23:25 |
| gordonjcp | javagamer: you may have some odd things happen if you enable 3d acceleration, but then use a different kind of graphics card | 23:25 |
| schmitty | GNOME THEMES where can i download some cool ones? | 23:25 |

| easyjesus | can anyone help a newbie with installation of Deluge in 8.04 | 23:30 |
| apophis_ch | what is an "excel code" ? | 23:30 |
| soundray | javagamer: when you use another machine to install the hard disk, make sure you complete the installation, but do the first boot on the target machine. | 23:30 |
| tonyyarusso | easyjesus: sure. | 23:30 |
| soundray | javier: is your OOo in Spanish now? | 23:31 |
| javagamer | soundray: Alright. | 23:31 |
| Slart | javier: excel codes? you mean formulas? | 23:31 |
| javier | soundray, yes | 23:31 |
| tonyyarusso | easyjesus: System > Admin > Synaptic Pkg Mgr: Search for deluge > check the box for installation > Click "Apply" | 23:31 |
| javier | Slart, yes | 23:31 |
| Ramzi | hi | 23:31 |
| tonyyarusso | easyjesus: you can also do it through Applications > Add/Remove if you prefer that | 23:31 |
| soundray | javier: you don't think it would have been, like, polite to let me know that? | 23:32 |
| Slart | javier: I'm not sure openoffice uses the same weird translated scripting language thing that excel does.. try using the english commands | 23:32 |

| GOTFrogqc | Hi I'm wondering how do you install a package you downloaded? | 23:33 |
| tofaffy | Since installing Ubuntu 8.04 I've noticed that xchat is really glitchy. When a new message comes through, the bottom row will pile up a few messages and such until you click on the screen and it will sort itself out. Is there something possible causing this? Thanks. | 23:33 |
| javier | soundray, ok ok thanks | 23:33 |
| BlakStone | GOTFrogqc: is it a .deb file? | 23:33 |
| tonyyarusso | easyjesus: then it's either not installed or your mirror broke the package somehow, which shouldn't happen. You sure it's installed? | 23:33 |
| Ramzi | can anyone help me? I'm trying to install ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 PVR TV Tuner on ubuntu | 23:33 |
| easyjesus | im verifying the install now | 23:34 |
| GOTFrogqc | Blakstone no a tar.gz | 23:34 |
| tonyyarusso | easyjesus: most likely you'd find a file at /usr/bin/deluge, possibly /usr/bin/deluge-torrent that the menu entry should be pointing to | 23:34 |
| jevon | slart, any specific suggestions | 23:34 |
| soundray | javier: VBScript code from MS Office is not straightforward to translate to OpenOffice.org unfortunately | 23:34 |
| tonyyarusso | easyjesus: you can also check for installation status in the various GUI package manager front-ends or with the command 'apt-cache policy deluge-torrent' | 23:34 |
| GOTFrogqc | should I get a .dev instread? | 23:35 |
| Slart | jevon: what did you write that didn't work? | 23:35 |
| tonyyarusso | GOTFrogqc: what's the package? | 23:35 |

| === root is now known as Guest95727 | ||
| jevon | I tried reinstalling grub thriugh an older live CD, no luck there | 23:35 |
| tonyyarusso | GOTFrogqc: Untar it and read the documentation that most likely comes with it (or on the product web site) | 23:36 |
| BlakStone | GOTFrogqc: use synaptic package manager under system->administration | 23:36 |
| Ramzi | can anyone help me? I'm trying to install ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 PVR TV Tuner on ubuntu | 23:36 |
| Slart | jevon: ah.. sorry.. got you confused with javier .. | 23:36 |
| BlakStone | I think it's available through apt-get | 23:36 |
| BlakStone | (the repos) | 23:36 |
| GOTFrogqc | ok thanks | 23:36 |
| jevon | If I can just get one folder off the hard drive, I can reinstall | 23:36 |
| tonyyarusso | BlakStone: avast isn't open source | 23:36 |
| GOTFrogqc | it's not i checked | 23:36 |
| CorpseFeeder | BCM43: ok, now the error is gone and instead the IEEE 1394 tab is empty. No devices are listed. | 23:36 |
| Slart | jevon: grub error 2, right.. there are tutorials on how to reinstall grub.. I don't know the syntax by heart | 23:37 |
| Odd-rationale | does openoffice use gtk or something else? | 23:37 |
| jevon | okay | 23:37 |
| BCM43 | CorpseFeeder: im not sure about that. You need to be root to opearte IEEE 1394 on ubuntu though | 23:37 |
| javier | soundray, thank you man you made it work | 23:37 |
| javier | apophis_ch, grate advice i was starting them with + as you can do in excel, but = works perfectly for me | 23:37 |
| tonyyarusso | GOTFrogqc: There is a .deb available though I just found - download that instead. | 23:37 |
| GOTFrogqc | ok and hod i do it with the dev? | 23:37 |
| tofaffy | Since installing Ubuntu 8.04 I've noticed that xchat is really glitchy. When a new message comes through, the bottom row will pile up a few messages and such until you click on the screen and it will sort itself out. Is there something possible causing this? Thanks. | 23:38 |
| tonyyarusso | Odd-rationale: I _think_ it has it's own thing, but is starting to be more integrated and playing nicely. | 23:38 |
| apophis_ch | javier, your welcome | 23:38 |
| legend2440 | jevon: read post #10 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/ubuntu-6.10-grub-error-2-help-534566/ | 23:38 |
| soundray | Ramzi: only a generic suggestion: find out the USB ID with lsusb and search the web for that code to find out which driver you need | 23:38 |
| Odd-rationale | tonyyarusso: do you know what that toolset is called? | 23:38 |

| soundray | !highno | murlidhar | 23:40 |
| ubottu | murlidhar: 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. | 23:40 |
| javier | soundray, yup but in a office page i saw that soon they will be | 23:40 |

| murlidhar | soundray, the bug is in transmission not in ubuntu :p | 23:42 |
| soundray | murlidhar: also check the backports and proposed repos for updates | 23:42 |
| soundray | murlidhar: doesn't matter | 23:42 |
