| evariste | Hi, I'm having a problem with my system. It seems when I am on youtube, occasionally, my computer randomly logs out. It used to be that X would just crash, but now it is logging out. I have tried both the open source and restricted drivers for my graphics card, but the same problem occurs. | 00:05 |
| WalloO | Evil_Lu: after you don't need help... cause you are too good | 00:05 |
| |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. | 00:05 |
| unavailable | ThaBla420 =: you need to convert them to wav | 00:06 |

| |Juan| | ive beeing asking mine for 2 weeks | 00:07 |
| Az | lol | 00:07 |
| |Juan| | posted in the forums, etc | 00:07 |
| Evil_Lu | phomea: since an update this morning on Hardy 2.6.24-17-generic, with new headers etc, my laptop (acer aspire 7720) has constant light on AboSamoor the hard disk led and seems to be cycling all the time. Would there be a reason for this? | 00:07 |
| legend2440 | _Net: there is something wrong on line 28. the same uuid you get that error on. what you can try is comment out that line in fstab by placing a # at beginning og line. then reboot | 00:07 |
| murlidhar | ThaBla420, do u want to make audio cd or data cd containing mp3s? | 00:07 |
| ThaBla420 | audio cd | 00:08 |
| Evil_Lu | sorry, irssi just added people's names in | 00:08 |
| schmitty | how to i change the color of the text in the panel | 00:08 |
| Evil_Lu | damn terminal irc isn't ALWAYS a good idea | 00:08 |
| SpookyET | Why is apt-get/aptitude's interface so damn ugly compared to pacman, zypper, yum, etc? I'm talking about output. | 00:08 |
| WalloO | |Juan|: You can try using two X11. Maybe it can help you. | 00:08 |
| legend2440 | _net sorry line 26 is wrong | 00:08 |
| candive | murlidhar, thank you again | 00:08 |
| Az | anyone good with tar? | 00:08 |
| |Juan| | WalloO, please explain | 00:08 |
| _Net | Yea. line 24 was gentoo, I removed gentoo but its still looking for it. | 00:08 |
| _Net | I'll try commenting it | 00:08 |
| murlidhar | candive, my pleasure | 00:08 |
| AboSamoor | Evil_Lu, i think there is a problem with the ACPI, try to switch that to off | 00:08 |
| Evil_Lu | AboSamoor: I need the acpi on, sorry, didn't mean to grab your name in that paste :) | 00:09 |
| legend2440 | _net well line 26 is the uuid number the error message refers to. right? | 00:09 |
| _Net | Yes. | 00:09 |
| apophis_ch | Az: you are extracting single files from 12GB tar files? ;) you know that tar is the tape archiver and is optimized for linear processing... everything out of order is slow... there is no way around it | 00:09 |
| legend2440 | _Net: ok comment out that line and try it | 00:10 |
| infidelis | i have a problem- clicking on an icon in the "workspace switcher applet" no longer switches to that workspace | 00:10 |
| WalloO | |Juan| you can have two X11 server running at the same time. One as :0.0 and one as :1.0. If you can start these two sessions, then, it may work, since the system do not have to deal with different sessions on the same X11 server. Changing user never work on my computer. It's not something really stable. | 00:10 |
| _Net | Ok. Restarting. | 00:10 |
| WalloO | Evil_Lu, have you tried to stop the disk just to see. | 00:10 |
| |Juan| | WalloO, do you have a link explaining the procedure | 00:10 |
| Evil_Lu | If I stop the disk then I won't have an operating system running. | 00:11 |
| doubled | i need a cool wallpaper | 00:11 |
| doubled | :p | 00:11 |
| Az | apophis_ch.. yep ;) im going to have to switch | 00:11 |
| yoanis | hi there | 00:11 |
| Evil_Lu | doubled: try google, I hear it's fantastic | 00:11 |
| Az | zip or rar? | 00:11 |
| WalloO | |Juan|, sorry, I don't, since it may need to deal with starting your system. | 00:11 |
| _Net | legend2440: Awesome it worked like a charm. Thanks. Now If I want to install gentoo, should uncomment that or just leave? | 00:12 |
| phomea | Evil_Lu but there is a new update to kernel -18 ?! you may try it | 00:12 |
| WalloO | try a startx :1.0 or something like that just to see. | 00:12 |
| apophis_ch | Az filesystems are good for single files ;) | 00:12 |
| WalloO | Then ctrl+alt+F7 to come back | 00:12 |
| murlidhar | doubled, maybe gnome-look.org or customize.org would help u | 00:12 |
| psramka | I am having trouble with my NVIDIA (nvidia-glx 96.43.05) driver being able to detect all of the modes (of resolution) of my monitor. My monitor can go as high as 1920x1080, but the driver is only auto-detecting 640x480 and 320x240... Does anyone have any ideas??? | 00:12 |

| legend2440 | _Net: not sure doesn't gentoo set up the partitions for you upon installation? | 00:12 |
| WalloO | Evil_Lu, stoping the disk doesn't mean unmounting it... just ask it to stop rotating... if necessary it may restart | 00:12 |
| |ns|nR8 | psramka, install nvidia-settings | 00:12 |
| schmitty | how do you change the color of the text in the panel ie. 'Applications','Places','System'; | 00:13 |

| yoanis | is | 00:13 |
| WalloO | Evil_Lu, wait... I look for the command... it's very simple... | 00:13 |
| phillip | is there anyone that can please help me with my sound issue? | 00:13 |
| psramka | |ns|nR8: I did install nvidia-settings... it won't recognize higher than 640 x 480 | 00:14 |
| yoanis | the device ID is eb1a:2881 | 00:14 |
| yoanis | i did modprobe "em28xx" | 00:14 |
| phillip | it would be appriciated | 00:14 |

| schmitty | how do you change the color of the text in the panel ie. 'Applications','Places','System'; | 00:14 |
| candive | doubled, my pleasure | 00:14 |
| |ns|nR8 | psramka, did you set monitor type in nvidia-settings | 00:15 |
| Az | generally i would like to just have a list of archives, for portability and manageability, most of the time i wouldnt need to extract individual files, but testing it today i realised how slow it really is | 00:15 |
| psramka | |ns|nR8: How do you set the monitor type? | 00:15 |
| legend2440 | _Net: you can leave that line commented. at worst you will have that line rewritten by gentoo . then you can delete that commented line if you want to | 00:15 |
| |ns|nR8 | run nvidia-settings | 00:15 |

| Az | yeh i might just stick with it though | 00:17 |
| kkathman | schmitty thats not the right answer to your question | 00:17 |
| schmitty | do you have the correct one? | 00:18 |
| psramka | |ns|nR8: There is not option to "set the monitor type" in nvidia-settings | 00:18 |

| Az | apophis_ch - haha | 00:18 |
| mortis | Why when I start up Ubuntu does my sound mute itself? | 00:19 |
| kkathman | schmitty, that area really isnt part of the "panel" per se, and Im not sure you CAN change the textual colors there - I'm checking in gnome-config and gnome control panel right now to see if you can | 00:19 |
| mohadib | mortis: turn the sound up | 00:19 |
| mortis | No know this | 00:19 |
| mohadib | then run alsactrl save | 00:19 |
| mortis | I'm saying, I like hearing that catchy log on sound though :( | 00:19 |
| dkulchenko | if I make my own spin of Ubuntu with Reconstructor, and then modify it further, can I call it something other than Ubuntu? | 00:19 |
| mohadib | right | 00:19 |
| mortis | But Ubuntu mutes itself after it boot | 00:19 |
| mortis | boots* | 00:19 |
| mohadib | mortis: do what i said | 00:19 |
| mortis | I did. | 00:19 |
| |ns|nR8 | psramka, yes there is..X server display configuration | 00:19 |
| mortis | -_- | 00:19 |
| mohadib | boot , run alsactrl save | 00:19 |
| mohadib | you did? | 00:19 |
| mortis | Wait what? | 00:19 |
| LesserRemarkable | how do i use wine? | 00:19 |
| mohadib | right | 00:19 |
| infidelis | msg ubottu etiquette | 00:19 |
| psramka | WallO: When I use the other monitor, I can get 1024x768 to work fine... The problem is not with the xorg.conf file, but with the driver not auto-detecting the proper resolutions available from monitor | 00:19 |
| schmitty | kkathman: how do you get to gnome-config or gnome control panel? | 00:20 |
| WalloO | LesserRemarkable, juste type wine your_exe_file | 00:20 |

| apophis_ch | Az, seriously! | 00:20 |
| mortis | What you told me to put in doesn't work. | 00:20 |
| LesserRemarkable | type it where? | 00:20 |
| AmpedCanada | schmitty alt+f2 the gnome-config | 00:20 |
| Az | no i know, thats what was funny about it! | 00:20 |
| Az | :) | 00:20 |

| infidelis | yeah it didn't respond after i did it right anyway | 00:20 |
| Evil_Lu | WalloO: that sg_start didn't do a thing :) | 00:21 |
| WalloO | LesserRemarkable, if wine is install, you just have to double click on the exe, like you did in windows | 00:21 |
| kkathman | schmitty, the config editor should be under Applications->system tools, the controlcenter you can get to by Alt F2 and type gnome-control-center | 00:21 |
| LesserRemarkable | okay... thanks | 00:21 |
| infidelis | i'm sure there's something in there about not repeating my question 20 times, so i'll refrain | 00:21 |
| schmitty | AmpedCanada: file couldn't be found | 00:21 |
| mortis | How do I save my sound settings? They reset everytime I boot Ubuntu | 00:21 |
| mohadib | mortis: alsactrl | 00:21 |
| mortis | That doesn't work. | 00:21 |
| WalloO | Evil_Lu, now we know... So the system keeps reading the hard drive.... Do you have a process which uses CPU? | 00:22 |
| mohadib | does for everyone else , so no clue | 00:22 |
| mortis | Are you sure it's not something else? | 00:22 |
| schmitty | kkathman: cool thankyou | 00:22 |
| mohadib | mortis: i misspelled its alsactl | 00:22 |
| mohadib | alsactl --save | 00:23 |
| mohadib | or possibly -save | 00:23 |
| mohadib | but that will do the trick | 00:23 |
| mohadib | you have to adjust your sound to what you would like the default level to be first | 00:23 |
| mohadib | then alstactl save | 00:23 |
| Evil_Lu | WalloO: I'mm unsure what would be using it, it's doing it when I'm "idle" as in no terminal, irssi, radio, browser, im etc | 00:23 |
| mortis | alsactl save doesn't work either | 00:23 |
| mortis | it says save is an unknown command. | 00:23 |

| wofs | anyone know how to install adobe shockwave? i've tired different times using different options, and end up with the same result...not working. | 00:30 |
| mortis | Gargagaragaa | 00:30 |
| Shaba1 | and firefox keeps telling me I need additional plugins | 00:30 |
| candive | Everyone, keep up the excellent work. Chow. | 00:30 |
| apophis_ch | WalloO, :) good luck experimenting | 00:30 |
| Conundrum_ | whats the package for wmv codec on ubuntu? | 00:30 |
| |Juan| | w32codecs at medibuntu | 00:31 |
| Shaba1 | it gives me a choice of gcj webplugin,JRE6,JRE5 and GCJ web pluging (open jdk) | 00:31 |
| apophis_ch | wofs, shockwave, flash? you need it for firefox? | 00:31 |
| Shaba1 | Which seems wierd | 00:31 |
| WalloO | apophis_ch, I do that just for fun... I don't need 1/4 of the power of my computer when not overclocked... :) | 00:31 |
| linxeh | Shaba1: jre6 | 00:31 |
| jcole | Conundrum_: echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 00:31 |
| Shaba1 | I have install it using synaptic update manager | 00:31 |
| WalloO | Shaba1, JRE5... beleive me, don'T try the 6... It has bugs with Java 2D | 00:31 |
| Shaba1 | and firefox is still saying the same thing | 00:32 |
| jcole | Conundrum_: apt-get install non-free-codecs | 00:32 |
| WalloO | you have to restart firefox, and maybe log out and log in to updfate your paths | 00:32 |
| Conundrum_ | ok thanks | 00:32 |
| linxeh | WalloO: that depends on your graphics drivers. java6 uses accelerated calls where possible for much of java2d | 00:32 |
| jcole | Conundrum_: errr s/gutsy/hardy | 00:32 |
| dark7 | hello | 00:32 |
| wofs | apophis_ch, shockwave. flash is working. the pulldown appears asking i need additional plugins, and i click it and can't find any, so i manually do it, and follow the sh script to install it, and still isn't working. and on top of that keeps starting in 'offline' mode. btw, this is a fresh 8.04 install. wiped and reformatted lastnight. | 00:32 |
| WalloO | linxeh, I know that, and Java 5 too... But Java 6 crached my nvidia card, so I recommend the 5 | 00:33 |
| apophis_ch | wofs, 32 bit / 64bit? | 00:33 |
| wofs | 32 | 00:33 |
| linxeh | WalloO: 5 has very little in terms of acceleration, I thought none on Linux in fact | 00:33 |
| apophis_ch | wofs, strange, no idea | 00:33 |
| emorris | is git-core installed by default on ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| WalloO | Shaba1, you have to restart firefox, and maybe log out and log in to update your paths | 00:33 |
| MasterShrek | wofs, is it listed in about:plugins? | 00:33 |
| CorpseFeeder | The only firewire device I have is a video camera.. and nothing happens when I plug it in and turn it on. How else can I test if a firewire card is actually working/detected? | 00:34 |
| MasterShrek | emorris, i doubt it | 00:34 |
| linxeh | WalloO: thats prolly why it works for people (apart from where the stuff needs java6, which is more and more common). Java5 enters end of life support this summer btw | 00:34 |
| WalloO | linxeh: you are probably right. My mistake... I mixed with Windows version... | 00:34 |
| Raspabuche | #nelug | 00:34 |
| aguitel | WalloO: thanks i fixed | 00:34 |
| wofs | MasterShrek, shockwave says it's disabled. | 00:34 |
| MasterShrek | CorpseFeeder, i assume the camera works on a different computer with firewire? | 00:35 |
| wofs | MasterShrek, **Enabled. | 00:35 |
| enaner | cxv | 00:35 |
| CorpseFeeder | MasterShrek: You have assumed correctly. | 00:35 |
| linxeh | CorpseFeeder: check dmesg etc | 00:35 |
| WalloO | aguitel, you fixed what? | 00:35 |
| enaner | i somehow completely messed up my avant-window-navigator ... now i would like to remove all traces of it .. and then reinstall .. can someone help me? | 00:35 |
| MasterShrek | CorpseFeeder, try lspci and see what kind of firewire it is and google if there are any problems with it | 00:35 |
| WalloO | linxeh, maybe, but most of Java apps on the web are compliant with 1.3 | 00:36 |
| linxeh | WalloO: haha :) | 00:36 |
| linxeh | WalloO: applets maybe, but very few java aps are 1.3 or 1.4 now - most new code is all written using generics | 00:36 |
| aguitel | WalloO: delete old entry in menu.lst | 00:36 |
| CorpseFeeder | linxeh: I have typed dmesg and saw nothing useful. there is meaningless stuff about ieee1394 toward the end of the output and there is no change in this output with the camera on/plugged in or off/unplugged. | 00:36 |
| mortis | Why doesn't my Volume Control slider match up with the GUI? | 00:36 |
| WalloO | aguitel, ha, ok. perfect.. | 00:37 |
| MasterShrek | wofs, not sure then sorry | 00:37 |
| AboSamoor | I'm using PIL, data=img.load(); data[i,j]=6 gives me an error "image is read only" ?? | 00:37 |

| mortis | Why doesn't my Volume Control slider match up with the GUI? | 00:38 |

| linxeh | WalloO: I've got a linux machine at work that wont display any characters on the screen - it just draws random lines. does that mean linux sucks ? :) | 00:46 |
| WalloO | tj83, chkdsk | 00:46 |
| apophis_ch | so they worked before? but they dont work now? have looked into the mixer | 00:46 |
| CorpseFeeder | MasterShrek: Do you want that both with camera plugged in and unplugged? (I think there is no difference - but what would I know, I'm only human) | 00:46 |
| linxeh | WalloO: presumably an OSX reinstall didnt fix it ? | 00:46 |
| tj83 | WalloO, just like in windows? what is the command? | 00:46 |
| apophis_ch | phillip, look into the mixer / system / admin / audio | 00:46 |
| phillip | ive went everwhere that i can think of i clicked on the sount icon | 00:46 |
| MasterShrek | CorpseFeeder, after you plug it in | 00:47 |
| WalloO | linxeh, don't have time to reinstall. But in fact I don't really like OSX interface and way of working. I lose too much time doing what I want. | 00:47 |
| apophis_ch | phillip, do you have more than one soundcard? maybe a usb headset? | 00:47 |
| ubuntu_ | how can i install libgtk1.2 | 00:47 |
| phillip | no i have a sb live card | 00:47 |
| linxeh | WalloO: I can appreciate that - I swore I'd never own a mac after my experiences with OS7 / 9 and 10.1 | 00:48 |
| WalloO | tj83, hmmm... maybe I mixed it with windows command. wait | 00:48 |
| nickrud | ubuntu_ for compiling? | 00:48 |
| PrivateVoid | /etc/inittab needed to be changed after the test mode install | 00:48 |
| WalloO | linxeh, I use one for porting software to mac. But I really don't like. | 00:48 |
| apophis_ch | phillip, look into / system / admin / audio / try to chose the "alsa mixer" and make sure your soundblaster card is selcted | 00:48 |
| phillip | i went into system admin but there is no audio | 00:49 |
| nickrud | ubuntu_ system->admin->synaptic , ctl-f (search) libgtk1.2 , if you're compiling you'll also need the -dev package | 00:49 |
| WalloO | tj83, it's fsck | 00:49 |
| linxeh | WalloO: for me things changed with 10.4, and especially in 10.5, but its largely familiarity that helps | 00:49 |
| EightiesK | hello! | 00:50 |
| apophis_ch | ahm,... then its /system/pref/audio | 00:50 |
| WalloO | linxeh, didn't saw any major difference. I still need midnight commander (mc) to manage files quickly | 00:50 |
| apophis_ch | should really switch to the english interface *g* | 00:50 |

| Blackdrag | Hey guys, I'm trying to boot back into gnome to change a few settings. I installed the kubuntu-desktop package to use KDE. When I stop kdm, gdm won't start because it isn't the default session manager. I forget which config file decides what is defult. Can you point me to it? | 00:54 |
| nickrud | Conundrum_ no, they get saved in /var/cache/apt/archive , up to 500mb of them | 00:54 |
| apophis_ch | Condoulo, yes apt is very clean ;) | 00:54 |
| apophis_ch | Mea culpa | 00:55 |

| WalloO | ntolo, maybe mysql --version | 00:56 |

| illustrissim | if you just log out of the kde environment, then you can change your session to gnome and log in again | 00:57 |
| Blackdrag | illustrissim: Really, all I need to know is where the config file is. I realize that gnome can be loaded bother ways. I have a reason for doing this :-) | 00:57 |
| illustrissim | ok | 00:57 |
| barbara | or how to do it. | 00:57 |
| Felonious | Is there anyway to minimize evolution to the systray? | 00:57 |
| apophis_ch | barbara, you need a upnp server, you can select one via / system / admin / synaptic, search for upnp or dlna | 00:57 |
| WalloO | barbara, does using a samba share may work? | 00:57 |
| wofs | EVERYONE*** if your having the problem of firefox starting in offline mode, good chance it's Networkmanager telling FF it's off the network because the cat5 cable is unplugged, but your online via wireless. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424626 | 00:57 |

| wofs | ? | 00:58 |
| wofs | i don't get it. | 00:58 |
| nickrud | Blackdrag sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm , if I read your question right. You want to use gdm instead of kdm? | 00:58 |
| apophis_ch | the bug is a nice example of overengeneering, instead of solvin a problem, its creating one,... | 00:58 |
| illustrissim | not off the top of my head, no. sorry dude | 00:58 |

| apophis_ch | the best? the only one! | 00:59 |
| apophis_ch | I like v ;) | 01:00 |
| Blackdrag | nickrud: No, what I'm trying to do is eliminate a few problems I've had from switching over. Rather than explainign the problem in detail and causing confusion (I know how to fix it), I just want to know where the config file is that tells Ubuntu what my default session manager should be | 01:00 |
| dimas869 | suweid you talking to me? | 01:00 |
| WalloO | I like v too | 01:00 |

| khajavi | nickrud: before installing libgtkmm-dev I updated my packages but I have this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21532/ | 01:39 |
| WalloO | Billenium1, it's on the other CD. But I don't know if it gives access to a working shell | 01:40 |
| nickrud | q_a_z_steve I've never used wubi, so I'm not sure what's in there | 01:40 |
| CorpseFeeder | bye | 01:40 |

| nickrud | khajavi looking | 01:40 |
| Conundrum_ | ok see the line above it with the title root? | 01:40 |
| Billenium1 | Well i guess i just have to burn the alternate iso to a disk... darn | 01:40 |
| q_a_z_steve | nickrud: let me back up, what file type is that stuff? | 01:40 |
| kozlojak | root (hd0,0) | 01:40 |
| WalloO | Billenium1, maybe on the last version there is an install mode in text, but no shell | 01:40 |
| Conundrum_ | change the hd0 to hd1 | 01:40 |
| nickrud | khajavi you don't have the main repo enabled, see the following factoid | 01:40 |
| Conundrum_ | save changes and reboot | 01:40 |

| erik_ | dmole thx man I just gave up. Figure I'll just stick with the 4. it's all I really need anyway | 01:41 |
| Conundrum_ | should work fine after that | 01:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Billenium1 cant get the live to install? | 01:41 |
| dmsuperman | nickrud: didn't fix it | 01:41 |
| Decepticon | do isos get updated, the ones we download, the final releases? | 01:41 |
| kozlojak | ok thanks off to try it | 01:41 |

| kwirk | Hi. I have a GeForce Go 6200/6400 on Hardy. Wonder if its possible to get GLX version 1.3. glxinfo states i have version 1.2, but a particular program using Java3D requires version 1.3 | 01:44 |
| nickrud | q_a_z_steve I'm not familiar with it | 01:44 |
| q_a_z_steve | nickrud: PM and email it to me? | 01:44 |
| Wiss | hi | 01:45 |
| nickrud | q_a_z_steve if it was in my examples folder, I don't have it. Deleted the folder immediately after instal ;( | 01:45 |
| Wiss | I want to add a boot flag on my GPT partition... but I don't find the answer on the web. Could someone help me ? Thanks a lot in advance | 01:45 |
| erik_ | so where can a guy go to just chat with folks about linux? | 01:45 |
| phillip | I have an Intel 3945ABG and I can't seem to get it working. iwlwifi is version 1.20 | 01:45 |
| dmsuperman | it appears to be loading xorg.conf.failsafe...any clues why that might be? I haven't configured my xorg.conf beyond what nvidia-xconfig does | 01:45 |
| nickrud | q_a_z_steve just remembered, it's in /usr/share/example_content, and I think you're looking for fables_01_01_aesop.spx | 01:46 |
| saltedlight | Decepticon, the isos available for download are just as they were wen they become available. | 01:46 |
| q_a_z_steve | /etc/skel | 01:46 |
| q_a_z_steve | thx | 01:46 |
| nickrud | Wiss you can run sudo cfdisk /dev/<device> , and set the boot flag with that | 01:46 |

| shingen | how do I disconnect a usb hard drive and spin down the platters? | 01:48 |
| Wiss | nickrud: I downloaded the latest version of GParted today, but I have an error on the boot... problem with the resolution I think.. | 01:48 |
| twiztidmind | or just tell me how to empty it | 01:48 |
| shingen | unmounting a usb hdd doesn't make the platters stop spinning | 01:48 |
| tech0007 | twiztidmind: empty it using nautilus | 01:49 |

| MarcosDV | Guys im trying to install bacula on my ubuntu with this cmd: apt-get install bacula-common bacula-console bacula-director-common bacula-fd bacula-sd libpg3 mtx mt-st | 01:50 |
| MarcosDV | but i keep having this error | 01:50 |
| Wiss | Nobody knows how to add a boot flag on GPT partition ??????????? | 01:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shingen umount didnt do the job.. not unmount | 01:50 |
| MarcosDV | it can find libpg3 | 01:50 |
| saltedlight | Decepticon, #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted ... this is the first line on my /etc/apt/sources.list and i have about 12 hours since i installed. i have used the iso obtained from Canonical | 01:50 |
| nickrud | khajavi first, try apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-dev , and put the results on the pastebin | 01:50 |
| Decepticon | saltedlight what? im talking about the physical iso file that you download and burn to cd | 01:50 |
| Decepticon | not apt sources | 01:50 |
| tech0007 | MarcosDV: what version of ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| Decepticon | or cd rom | 01:51 |
| MarcosDV | tech0007 8.04 | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shingen Umount: Example assumes the first partition..../eject /dev/sdc1 and umount /dev/sdc1 (with umount you could also use the mountpoint like umount /media/USBDRIVE | 01:51 |
| dmsuperman | Using nvidia drivers from nvidia.com (the latest for the 7900 gs ko card) every time I reboot my computer I get low settings mode. If I stop X, reinstall the driver, then start X, it works fine until next reboot. Any ideas what could be causing it? | 01:51 |
| shingen | Jack_Sparrow: umount doesn't stop the drive platters from spinning | 01:51 |
| tech0007 | MarcosDV: you can just run 'sudo apt-get bacula'...there's no libpg3 in hardy | 01:51 |
| murlidhar | i want to use minimal ubuntu along with ubuntu. how do i dual boot it ? | 01:52 |
| saltedlight | Decepticon, sure but if you look carefully you see that the iso was made on 2008.04.23 ;) | 01:52 |
| MarcosDV | tech0007 on every howto i got it gives me that command | 01:52 |

| catron | my friend is trying to install the nvidia glx new package for his 8600 GT, but when he does his resolution is restricted to 640x480, I am guessing something is wrong? | 01:53 |
| nickrud | khajavi so that should satisfy the mm-dev. Try installing it, then running the mm install again. Paste the results | 01:54 |
| Leefmc | What is a good audio editing software? | 01:54 |
| dmsuperman | murlidhar: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst from the OS controlling GRUB | 01:54 |
| nickrud | murlidhar the second install will find the first install | 01:54 |
| Leefmc | Note that i personally dislike soundforge heh.. or did in the paste | 01:54 |
| Leefmc | past* | 01:54 |
| Wiss | Nobody knows how to put a boot flag on GPT partition ? | 01:54 |
| asmo[B] | I'm having problems getting songs onto my ipod... I've tried amarok and gtkpod, is there a firmware update that I need to do to my ipod to get them to work? | 01:54 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: Audacity? | 01:54 |
| nickrud | murlidhar after that, when you upgrade kernels on the first install, you will have to manually update the menu.lst in the second install | 01:54 |
| murlidhar | nickrud, autmatically? | 01:54 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: Erm, sorry, thats the name. Audacity. I dislike the program | 01:54 |
| WalloO | Catron, maybe it's the xorg.conf he use to start using nvidia-settings. Mays need a basic working one, and it may be ok. | 01:54 |
| nickrud | murlidhar yeah, just like it finds windows on install :) | 01:55 |
| sc0tt_ | im compiling the latest stable release of the kernel..i gave the make command..but its been going on for an hour now..i have a 1.4 GHz machine...approximately how much time does make take to complete ? | 01:55 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: that's pretty much the extent of it as far as I know...more than that and you're looking at professional grade software which costs, and they usually don't make linux ports | 01:55 |
| catron | WalloO? | 01:55 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: k | 01:55 |
| kwirk | catron: I had problems myself. I just used 'envyng' and it fixed everything up. | 01:55 |
| WalloO | catron, yes. | 01:55 |
| dmsuperman | Using nvidia drivers from nvidia.com (the latest for the 7900 gs ko card) every time I reboot my computer I get low settings mode. If I stop X, reinstall the driver, then start X, it works fine until next reboot. Any ideas what could be causing it? | 01:55 |
| linxeh | sc0tt_: when I last compiled a kernel (approx 1997) my 486 took around 3 hours to compile it. the kernel is somewhat bigger now :) | 01:55 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: Audacity definitely doesn't have the quality to sound, as Blender does to 3D | 01:56 |
| sc0tt_ | lin : ok..thnkx :) | 01:56 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: you haven't played with it enough. Audacity is a bit confusing, but it's very powerful | 01:56 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, do not forget to save the config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:56 |
| Alex135 | Leefmc: i agree with dmsuperman on that one | 01:56 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: It causes some bad card problems a while back for a different comp for me. | 01:56 |
| linxeh | sc0tt_: it depends how much you choose to include | 01:56 |
| linxeh | sc0tt_: if you build everything (eg as modules) it will take a long time | 01:56 |
| khajavi | nickrud: whe i want to install it it say: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21538/ | 01:56 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: it's not the xorg.conf, I have a very basic one that the nvidia installer generated for me | 01:57 |
| suweid | How do I set Monday as the first weekday in Clock (2.22.2) ? (It apparently has to do with me being in Sweden, but wanting to have Ubuntu in english) | 01:57 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: Horrid, bad bad joojoo. IIRC, it basically broke the audio card. | 01:57 |
| asmo[B] | nevermind figured out what I have to do with gtkpod :) | 01:57 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: give it another try, it's a great software :D | 01:57 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: Any piece of software that has that neglect, i consider bad. Note that this was neglect, because it was a known bug. | 01:57 |
| murlidhar | sc0tt_, i heard it sometimes takes upto 3 hours | 01:57 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, yes, but it doesn't work. I has this problem on one of my computers | 01:57 |
| CShadowRun | anyone know a command line program to move windows around workspaces and geometry? | 01:57 |
| Alex135 | Leefmc: your card was probably outdated | 01:57 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: And imo, the feature or even ability to use the program, should be taken away, if they _know_ it will break the card. | 01:57 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: you're in the wrong channel...there have been known (major) bugs in ubuntu for a while. it's a matter of time | 01:57 |
| Leefmc | Alex135: It was, for sure. | 01:57 |
| sc0tt_ | lin : i just copied my old copy of config file ti /usr/src/linux..and after setting few options via make gconfig..issude make | 01:58 |
| Leefmc | Alex135: However, is outdated hardware a reason for them to allow their software to break it? | 01:58 |
| Leefmc | dmsuperman: I'm in the wrong channel? | 01:58 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: as with firefox, and many other open source softwares. it really depends on the community developing it | 01:58 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, I may provide you a basic working one. You will have to change screen size parameter by hand. that's it | 01:58 |
| Alex135 | Leefmc: well, gnome does it allot with they're display enviroment | 01:58 |
| Alex135 | Leefmc: if a program breaks, tough... | 01:58 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: when I reinstall the driver, it works. I don't modify the xorg.conf. That means, it's not the xorg.conf | 01:59 |
| Leefmc | Alex135: So they knowingly ignore a bug that can perma break hardware? | 01:59 |
| nickrud | khajavi what do you have in your local repository? | 01:59 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: not ignore...just don't have time to fix | 01:59 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, it may. give it a try | 01:59 |
| Leefmc | Alex135: This is a lot different than a bug that stops the program from working, i'm talking breaking hardware. | 01:59 |
| dmsuperman | Leefmc: or if it's lesser used hardware it goes low on the priority list. It's all about priorities | 01:59 |
| Alex135 | leefmc: ill put it to you this way, i had an old nvidia card with 32mb of memory on it | 01:59 |
| Alex135 | leefmc: at the time i was running fedora | 01:59 |
| mortis | How do I get my mic working in Ubuntu 8.04? | 01:59 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: it's been like this on many different installs and many different Xorg.conf's, with many different drivers | 01:59 |
| sc0tt_ | lin :since i first copied my old config file to /usr/src/linux and then did make gconfig and then make, is this the same as doing make old config ? | 01:59 |
| Alex135 | leefmc: when i updated, the hardware accell never worked again | 01:59 |
| Alex135 | leefmc because nvidia and fedora stopped supporting it | 02:00 |
| q_a_z_steve | does anyone here use beagle? | 02:00 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: it's a conflic between my hardware and the driver...but it's definitely not the xorg.conf. | 02:00 |
| Leefmc | well righto then, i'll accept that opensource means broken hardware.. since thats what you seem to be fighting for :p | 02:00 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: I've probably spent 20 total hours working on various display issues with linux + my computer | 02:00 |
| Alex135 | leefmc: i had to get a whole new card... but i eneded up instead getting my nice new duel core machine i have now for christmass | 02:00 |
| BixBox | I want to install htb. when I compile it, its like an unknwon command (/sbin/htb.init compile) | 02:00 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: I've pretty much narrowed all my issues down to the nvidia driver. I fixed this current issue at one point, but I don't have a clue how I did | 02:00 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, I had such problem with my computer, and fixed it with a working xorg.conf. I propose you my xorg.conf. if you don't want to give it a try, ok. | 02:01 |
| BixBox | are there some packet must be install? | 02:01 |
| dmsuperman | Using nvidia drivers from nvidia.com (the latest for the 7900 gs ko card) every time I reboot my computer I get low settings mode. If I stop X, reinstall the driver, then start X, it works fine until next reboot. Any ideas what could be causing it? | 02:01 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: you could try...I'm in irssi though | 02:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dmsuperman Did you put in the specs for your monitor in the xorg? | 02:01 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: do you know if I can still recieve files? | 02:01 |
| WalloO | dcc may worjk. | 02:01 |
| dmsuperman | Jack_Sparrow: it auto-detected them correctly | 02:01 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, are you single or dual screen? | 02:02 |
| Leefmc | Alex135: Either way, i do find it odd that your justifying breaking hardware, but thats your kicks i spose :o | 02:02 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: dual, but the problem happens during single screen mode | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dmsuperman JUst pointing out that often people focus on just the driver and ignore the actual monitor settings. even if it seems to have the right res. | 02:03 |
| dmsuperman | Jack_Sparrow: nope, one of the first things I checked :) | 02:03 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, I can give you a single screen xorg.conf | 02:03 |
| Alex135 | dmsuperman: try running sudo displayconfig-gtk and reconfigure your screen settings | 02:03 |
| nickrud | khajavi ? | 02:03 |
| dmsuperman | WalloO: doesn't matter...once I get any of them to work adding dualhead support is easy | 02:03 |
| dmsuperman | Alex135: i'm assuming that's a GUI app? | 02:03 |
| Alex135 | dmsuperman: erm yes, that a problem? | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dmsuperman what are the v & h rates for that monitor | 02:04 |
| dmsuperman | Alex135: yeah, X isnt running | 02:04 |
| Alex135 | dmsuperman: hmmm, well what card are you useing? | 02:05 |
| Alex135 | dmsuperman what model of nvidia | 02:05 |
| WalloO | dmsuperman, ok. I dcc you the xorg.conf | 02:05 |
| dmsuperman | 31-81 & 56-75 | 02:05 |
| dmsuperman | Alex135: 7900 gs ko | 02:05 |

| dmsuperman | WalloO: no, that didn't do it | 03:26 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: have you used devede ? it's a simple GUI (granted, exotic menu's need dvdstyler i presume, but you can let that go after devede did it's voodoo) | 03:27 |
| Kizlum | tdaharsh, no problem :) if you use gnome : use Alt+F2 then type "gnome-terminal" (without " "), then ther term appears and type synaptic | 03:27 |

| candive | reading | 03:28 |
| Kizlum | tdaharsh, it may help you o find the problem. it may return errors messages | 03:29 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: what didn't work for you with devede ? recently gone through a lot of progress, might be worth a second look | 03:29 |

| linkmaster03 | arvind_khadri: thank you | 03:29 |
| arvind_khadri | linkmaster03, welcome :) | 03:30 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: reguardless i will try it again, thx :) | 03:30 |
| dmsuperman | I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this process | 03:30 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: np, togehter with dvdstyler (if you need audio menus) it does the job these days | 03:30 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: i dont think i ever used dvdstyler, i think that was the problem | 03:31 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: or part of it | 03:31 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: could be, it's not very well documented that you can use them together | 03:31 |
| dcoblent | hey, can anybody help me with an installation problem that I'm having? When I run the hardy installer, gparted doesn't recognize my hard disk. | 03:32 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: do you know how to use em together properly? | 03:32 |
| arvind_khadri | dcoblent, what error do you get?? | 03:32 |
| dcoblent | but if I run the installer for gutsy, it recognizes my drive fine | 03:32 |
| dmsuperman | dcoblent: have you tried running "sudo fdisk -l" from the installer disk? | 03:32 |
| dmsuperman | dcoblent: from a TTY or the like | 03:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | dcoblent: friend of mine has the same problem | 03:33 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: basically you do the conversion in devede without menu and add those with dvdstyler on the VIDEO_TS output | 03:33 |
| dcoblent | arvind_khadri, when I run the installer, it gets to the step about partioning and just doesn't show anything | 03:33 |
| dcoblent | fdisk -l doesn't output anything either | 03:33 |
| dmsuperman | dcoblent: if fdisk -l works, then you may have had the same problem as I did | 03:33 |
| dmsuperman | oh, then i dunno :S | 03:33 |
| dcoblent | if I run gparted it just say no devices found or something | 03:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | dmsuperman: what does fdisk -l do? | 03:33 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: ah, yes i do remember reading about that | 03:33 |
| tdaharsh | I cannot run any administrative applications. It just starts then stops before beginning the program. | 03:33 |
| dmsuperman | IndyGunFreak: lists your partitions | 03:33 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: but i never heard of dvdstyler | 03:33 |
| arvind_khadri | dcoblent, did you try a different cd??? | 03:33 |
| dcoblent | fdisk doesn't give any output | 03:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | dmsuperman: well yeah, but how does that make gparted see the drive? | 03:34 |
| onthefence928 | hello i am currently running a laptop with ubuntu 8.04, i am trying to make it play nice with an external monitor i have, it's plugged in and powered, hell it even did the boot-up bug my laptop usually does when booting up with another monitor plugged in where it shows the booting up on teh side monitor | 03:34 |
| dmsuperman | IndyGunFreak: regardless of mounting or not...I just remember that gparted used some wierd detection scheme that fdisk didn't...and fisk saw it | 03:34 |
| dcoblent | nope, haven't tried a different cd | 03:34 |
| onthefence928 | how do i get it to work on both now that i am here | 03:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 03:34 |
| MrPocknix_ | command to search for a particular folder? | 03:34 |
| genii | tdaharsh: Is the username you are logged in with the default one you made when installing? Or a user you created after this? | 03:34 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: haven't been using them in tandem for very long myself, a zoo ther multimedia scape out there lol | 03:34 |
| dmsuperman | IndyGunFreak: the bug's already been reported | 03:34 |
| arvind_khadri | dcoblent, try a different cd and go for a alternative cd... | 03:34 |
| Kizlum | tdaharsh, try to add "sudo" or "gksudo" before your application (i'm not sure i understand really well the problem) | 03:34 |
| === AfterDea2h is now known as AfterDeath | ||
| IndyGunFreak | dmsuperman: any idea on the bug #? | 03:34 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: indeed, i just got my system reinstalled today and im trying now to get my media working again | 03:35 |
| dmsuperman | IndyGunFreak: dcoblent: Ultimately what I did was add some unallocated space between each of my partitions and it worked...it was a problem with "overlapping" partitions (or so it thought) | 03:35 |
| Fjss | I ran this " sudo dpkg --configure -a" in the terminal and got this error "dpkg: error processing hal-info (--configure): | 03:35 |
| Fjss | unable to fill /var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i with padding: No space left on device" what could the problem be?? | 03:35 |

| Alex135 | glitsj16: now it wont work... | 03:35 |
| jrib | Fjss: your partition is out of space | 03:35 |
| dcoblent | I'm using an older live cd now, and if I run fdisk I get lots of info and everything looks fine | 03:35 |
| dmsuperman | IndyGunFreak: and no, I don't. I think it's one of the few bugs I commented on, if it's possible to search by posts by user my user is dmsuperman | 03:35 |
| arvind_khadri | Fjss you must have ran out of space | 03:35 |
| genii | Fjss: Um, your disk is full? | 03:35 |
| tdaharsh | genii, i am on the original user name. i am also unable to install ubuntu updates. | 03:35 |

| candive | Anyone paste screenshot where? | 03:36 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16 i belive so... thats just the file extension, if thats what it stands for then yes :P | 03:36 |
| jrib | Fjss: delete stuff or buy a new hard drive | 03:36 |
| dmsuperman | Metatron^: we don't ask such questions...when things just magically work you thank whoever it is you pray to :D | 03:36 |
| genii | tdaharsh: In which manner are you attempting to run the programs? | 03:36 |
| arvind_khadri | dcoblent, fdisk shows the details of your mounted drives...the best bet now would be going for an alternative cd...hey always work :) | 03:36 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: .rmvb | 03:36 |
| dmsuperman | Metatron^: you could be running in failsafe mode, with a lower resolution and vesa drivers | 03:36 |
| genii | tdaharsh: eg: sudo appname for instance will mess up things if it is a graphical application | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | candive: what do you need a screenshot of? | 03:36 |
| dmsuperman | I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card.

| Metatron^ | how can i get my xorg correct, im in fluxbox not gnome, need restriced mach64 ati driver...i think | 03:37 |
| Fjss | jrib: delete packages? or is there any way to expand the partition? | 03:37 |
| tdaharsh | genii, i am not using the terminal. i used terminal to open synaptic package manager, for example, and it would not allow me to save changes. I cannot open from the menus. | 03:37 |
| glitsj16 | Alex135: ubuntustudio is a nice distro for all things multimedia, no need to get codecs from left and right and god knows where, very handy actually :p | 03:37 |
| jrib | Fjss: delete anything | 03:37 |
| arvind_khadri | Metatron^, use envy :D | 03:37 |
| arvind_khadri | !envyng | Metatron^ | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Metatron^: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 03:37 |
| candive | IndyGunFreak, It is a little confusing "I do Not have permission to change permissions" | 03:38 |
| Alex135 | glitsj16: im currently useing the medibuntu repos, makes things easy enough for most stuff | 03:38 |
| Metatron^ | xdebconfigurator outputs in terminal what looks like correct data, but it dosnt make it over to xorg.conf, where does xdebconfigurator put its output | 03:38 |
| KelvNe | Anyone there? | 03:38 |
| Metatron^ | envy fails | 03:38 |

| PrimoTurbo | from terminal it looks like this cd /folder/teeworlds | 03:51 |
| Toran | When I'm on wireless in ubuntu, my download speed seems limited to 100kb/s down. Sometimes it jumps up to 6-7mbps (my connection max), but only rarely. It is almost always limited to exactly around 100k/sec. Other computers in my house have no problems. What's going on? | 03:51 |
| lolo | find -type d is so close!!!!!! just not FULL path | 03:51 |
| PrimoTurbo | then ./teeworlds | 03:51 |
| dmsuperman_ | PrimoTurbo: "cd /folder/teeworlds && ./teeworlds" | 03:52 |
| jrib | lolo: put the base path... | 03:52 |
| dmsuperman_ | jrib: he wants the paths returned like /media/somedir ... /media/someotherdir ... /media/somedir/blah | 03:52 |
| solexious | [Q] HOw can i check what driver my wifi card is using? | 03:52 |
| dmsuperman_ | jrib: so it gives you the full path for each dir | 03:52 |
| jrib | dmsuperman_: find does this... | 03:52 |
| dmsuperman_ | jrib: from what I can determine at least | 03:52 |
| RedHatMatt | Citguy08 - Nope no package available. You can get an RPM from oracle and install as alien. It is possble to get it to work but will require some fiddling. | 03:53 |
| PrimoTurbo | thsi doesnt work when I add it to execute from obmenu - "cd /home/primo/Files/Games/Teeworlds/ && ./teeworlds" | 03:53 |
| dmsuperman_ | jrib: I'm not doubting...I haven't used it...I'm just trying to communicate what he is unable to communicate | 03:53 |
| PrimoTurbo | it doesn't launch game it works from terminal but not as a shortcut | 03:53 |
| arvind_khadri | jrib, it would be something like find -type d | 03:53 |
| jrib | lolo: find $(pwd) -type d if you want something dynamic... | 03:53 |
| dmsuperman_ | PrimoTurbo: you don't need to cd if it's as a shortcut | 03:53 |
| jrib | dmsuperman_: oh, thanks :) | 03:53 |
| rj | is there any way to use win xp as wine ? | 03:53 |

| lolo | find $(pwd) -type d FTW!!!! | 03:54 |
| RedHatMatt | lolo - you can also use 'locate <file>' | 03:54 |
| dmsuperman_ | RedHatMatt: he's trying to get a tree directory listing | 03:54 |

| dmsuperman_ | bestpvp: it basically boils down to mount -t TYPE /dev/sdd /mount_point | 04:20 |
| dmsuperman_ | bestpvp: where TYPE is usually vfat for FAT32, ntfs-3g for NTFS, ext3, etc. | 04:20 |
| genii | webcamwonder: According to manpage of usplash_write, for that command is TIMEOUT 120 for instance. But I'm not talking of the usplash directly. I'm speaking of the config file initramfs will use to configure it. Where the syntax there is TIMEOUT = 120 | 04:20 |

| coldboot|home | dmsuperman_: Yes, that's what's reflected in the Ubuntu packages, they update subversion every now and then. | 04:22 |
| dmsuperman_ | bestpvp: you can mount any disk any time, so long as it has a filesystem | 04:22 |
| dmsuperman_ | coldboot|home: on sourceforge the last update is like 2001 i think...i've never really had problems with it so i never feel the need to update anyway :P | 04:23 |
| joshritger | dmsuperman_: that will not work, it mentioned linux header problems, I believe that is what was updated today, anyway to go back to the previous version? | 04:23 |
| bestpvp | so if i wanted to mount ext3 /dev/sdd what would i tpye? | 04:23 |
| dmsuperman_ | joshritger: you mean roll back updates? There's no way as far as I know | 04:24 |
| dmsuperman_ | bestpvp: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd /PATH/TO/MOUNT/POINT | 04:24 |
| dmsuperman_ | bestpvp: the mount point is usually a folder inside /media | 04:24 |
| joshritger | there are alot of issues with dependencies with what was updated, envy wont install because build-essential wont install | 04:24 |
| Metatron^ | can anyone suggest how to get my xorg setup, old ati card, no gnome, xorg.conf has all default vaules, no values for card, have tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and sudo xdebconfigurator, the later seems to show correct values but they are not added to xorg.conf | 04:24 |
| Yumari | I have a Geforce 6600 GT. When I got into Visual Effects and select normal or extra I get a error saying "The Composite extension is not available". any ideas? | 04:25 |
| dmsuperman_ | Metatron^: perhaps it's just auto-detecting correctly? | 04:25 |
| dmsuperman_ | I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this proces | 04:25 |
| Metatron^ | dmsuperman_: other distro's i get an xorg with ati driver, or mach64 driver, and im missing a higher resolution i can run on other distro's | 04:26 |
| PoGzTImz | is there a way i can test 3D graphics in Ubuntu? | 04:26 |
| bestpvp | well it has a linux partion | 04:26 |
| coldboot|home | dmsuperman_: They don't use sourceforge. Nevermind. | 04:26 |
| Metatron^ | im dling the flglxr driver now, but without the basic driver im dubious | 04:26 |
| bestpvp | but it says wrong filesystem | 04:26 |
| webcamwonder | ok, thats weird | 04:27 |
| webcamwonder | that didn't work either | 04:27 |
| bestpvp | logical linux | 04:27 |
| genii | webcamwonder: :( | 04:27 |
| webcamwonder | genii: yeah :( | 04:27 |
| mrealtime | Any reason why knetworkmanager keeps requiring me to choose Hex key instead of passphrase? | 04:27 |
| webcamwonder | genii: I am on ubuntu through wubi, any connections? | 04:27 |
| webcamwonder | genii: ok nvm, I guess I can live with the console | 04:29 |
| webcamwonder | genii: lived long enough with it while programming on windows | 04:29 |
| acee1234 | firefox 3 seems to be truncating several websites im trying to view and ie views them just fine. any fixes for these issues? drop down menus also dont always come to the top layer | 04:29 |
| genii | webcamwonder: dO YOU KNOW HOW TO APPLY PATCHES? | 04:29 |
| genii | Bah capslock | 04:30 |
| pizzledizzle | oh hai | 04:30 |
| webcamwonder | genii: by patches you mean? I am fairly new to linux | 04:30 |
| bug71 | how do select a specific session to view on a cd that has multiple sessions? | 04:30 |
| pizzledizzle | anyone know why when i try to play wmv files it goes really choppy? | 04:30 |
| bestpvp | mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd /media/usb1 | 04:30 |
| mrealtime | pizzledizzle: low on memory? | 04:31 |
| bestpvp | that wont work for some reason | 04:31 |
| pizzledizzle | mrealtime, nope | 04:31 |
| genii | webcamwonder: A patch is basically a change you want to make to a file, in a file of it's own. You apply that to the file you want to change. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/214271 has a patch which might fix your issue | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 214271 in initramfs-tools "Usplash timeout too low in script/local_premount/resume : stop usplash" [Undecided,New] | 04:31 |
| pizzledizzle | someone help. i got bunch of porn in wmv format and i can't watch it in linux :( | 04:32 |
| webcamwonder | genii: yeah, patched many things in windows :p going to see the term first time in linux :P | 04:32 |
| webcamwonder | pizzledizzle: do you have the codecs installed? | 04:32 |
| chuck | hi, i'm getting this after running Gentoo's LDAP migration tools, any ideas? | 04:32 |

| axisys | is there a pkg for djbdns ? | 04:32 |
| pizzledizzle | webcamwonder, i don't know which codecs to install. i installed few gstream codecs i think | 04:33 |
| |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. | 04:33 |
| axisys | apt-cache search djbdns did not find any | 04:33 |
| webcamwonder | pizzledizzle: I personally prefer just getting vlc, you don't require installing other codecs | 04:33 |
| punzada | vlc & mplayer are both win | 04:33 |
| webcamwonder | pizzledizzle: Also make sure that the videos you are trying to watch are indeed not choppy really | 04:33 |
| webcamwonder | punzada: i agree mplayer and vlc and kill any other players out there | 04:34 |
| pizzledizzle | webcamwonder, i tried vlc too. same result. it starts ok but then when there's a lot of motion it gets choppy | 04:34 |
| webcamwonder | pizzledizzle: Have you played this file perfectly on another media player somewhere else? | 04:34 |
| pizzledizzle | works fine on windows | 04:34 |
| newbee617 | a quesion , anyone uses f-spot to upload pictures to picasa? when i upload 500 pictures ,the f-spot crashes | 04:35 |
| pizzledizzle | webcamwonder, er it's fine on windows | 04:35 |
| lvlefisto | There is a vulnerability on firefox | 04:35 |
| MasterShrek | anyone konw how i can put linuxmce on ubuntu 8.04? | 04:36 |
| bestpvp | hey how do i mount format dev/sdd to ext3? | 04:36 |
| lvlefisto | when is it planned to fix it in the port for ubuntu? | 04:36 |
| webcamwonder | pizzledizzle: are you trying to seek the file in vlc? | 04:36 |
| acee1234 | ie>FF? | 04:36 |
| pizzledizzle | webcamwonder, i tried with seeking and without. same deal | 04:36 |
| webcamwonder | pizzledizzle: this is where my linux knowledge ends, sorry :( | 04:36 |
| webcamwonder | genii: so you suggest me applying this patch to the scripts/resume? | 04:37 |
| genii | webcamwonder: First I would make a backup, but yes | 04:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bestpvp if you are trying to fromat sdd to ext3 use gparted or mkfs | 04:38 |
| newbee617 | anyone uses f-spot? | 04:38 |
| metalpres | ok, so the question thats been answered a billion times, can someone just give me a quick opinion, is there really any benefit to using the amd64 version over the i386 version?, and is there any drawbacks? | 04:38 |
| webcamwonder | genii: given that it is not hampering my proficiency in any manner, would it be advisable to not? | 04:38 |
| gaten | pizzledizzle: u can convert wmvs to avis like this: mencoder FILE.WMV -ofps 23.976 -ovc lavc -oac copy -o FILE.AVI | 04:39 |
| orphean | metalpres: benefit would be able to access all installed ram (ie, you have 4 gigs, you can use 4 gigs). there might be possible drivers issues depending on your hardware however I have not run into them yet (which doesn't mean they don't exist) | 04:39 |
| orphean | metalpres: if you don't have 4 gigs or more of memory there's not much point for now imo. | 04:40 |
| webcamwonder | genii: ok second question, is it normal for automount to take ages for a usb drive of 30 gigs? | 04:40 |
| genii | webcamwonder: If it fails horribly you can boot to recovery mode, reinstate the original file and rerun the initramfs | 04:40 |
| genii | webcamwonder: No. | 04:40 |
| webcamwonder | ok, I will give this a shot later on | 04:40 |
| bestpvp | how do u start QTParted? | 04:40 |
| metalpres | orphean: ok thanks, thats kind of what i was thinking | 04:40 |
| webcamwonder | genii: and does the automount mount fat32 as readonly in hardy by default? | 04:40 |
| genii | webcamwonder: Offhand I can't recall default vfat mount options | 04:41 |
| theLichKing | how do i start the wpa_supplicant service? | 04:41 |
| webcamwonder | genii: wait, so gnome-volume-mount still uses my fstab for automount? | 04:41 |
| genii | webcamwonder: Yes. | 04:42 |
| theLichKing | !wireless | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:42 |
| bestpvp | !QTParted | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Factoid qtparted not found | 04:43 |
| webcamwonder | genii: and, would automount fall back to readonly mount if it detected some corrupt filesystem or the partition was marked as dirty>? | 04:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 04:43 |
| Yumari | i need a program that, on boot, will convert my hard drive from whatever format it is to Fat32 or NTFS. Any suggestions? | 04:43 |
| bug71 | I recently upgraded to ubuntu 8.04. Previously, if I inserted a cd that had mixed 'sessions' (data on one, audio on the other), I was prompted on what I wanted to do (listen to music or browse files). That doesn't happen under 8.04, and I can't figure out how to get to the data files, only the audio tracks are available. How do I get the old functionality back? | 04:43 |
| bestpvp | !mkfs | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Factoid mkfs not found | 04:44 |
| onthefence928 | hey does anybody know how to make linux mount a drive as soon as it boots? | 04:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Yumari All I can ask is why? | 04:44 |
| genii | webcamwonder: Yes, default behaviour normally in corrupt scenario is to mount rw if possible (for almost all fs) | 04:44 |
| new2linux | hey guys, how to download all the repositories for ubuntu? i mean all the updates or certain updates, for future use without having to download it again | 04:44 |
| onthefence928 | as in part of teh boot process | 04:44 |
| genii | webcamwonder: ro rather | 04:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 04:44 |
| Bob_Sagot | Question: How do I access the screens and graphics tool in 8.04? | 04:44 |
| webcamwonder | ontheface928: you need to place the config in your fstab | 04:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onthefence928 create a mount point and add it to fstab | 04:45 |
| onthefence928 | Jack_Sparrow: ok, and how do i do that exactly? | 04:45 |
| bestpvp | gees 15 years of linux and still had to deal with a simple drive | 04:46 |
| webcamwonder | genii: any chances of dosfsck completely corrupting the data on my external hdd? | 04:46 |
| acee1234 | how do i get IE installed on ubuntu, i have my reasons.? | 04:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onthefence928 create a mount point sudo mkdir /media/descriptivenameofwhatisonthedrive | 04:46 |
| genii | webcamwonder: No idea on that | 04:46 |
| rj | what happened to the network manager on 7.4 my wireless worked 7.10 and beyond does not. | 04:46 |
| bestpvp | y can't linux get away from the commands | 04:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onthefence928 what partition is it.. sda1 or what? | 04:47 |
| webcamwonder | genii: great thanks, and it might seem as if I am too nagging, but few more questions | 04:47 |
| webcamwonder | genii: if fine with you | 04:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | onthefence928 sudo fdisk -l if you need to look | 04:47 |
| genii | webcamwonder: Almost midnight here and need sleep soon :) But if they are brief or so | 04:47 |
| webcamwonder | genii: want to get started on programming in linux | 04:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acee1234 /join #winehq | 04:48 |
| webcamwonder | genii: background of C++ (noob almost), c# and VB.net... recommendations? | 04:48 |
| bestpvp | or maybe god just cursed me with a pos brain :( | 04:48 |
| devil | hello | 04:48 |
| genii | webcamwonder: I'd suggest visiting #ubuntu-devel and enquiring along the C/C++ veins then | 04:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder bash and python | 04:48 |
| webcamwonder | jack_sparrow: bash is the linux shell if I am not mistaken? | 04:48 |
| s_spiff | yup | 04:49 |
| genii | webcamwonder: A lot of things are scripted in bash on linux | 04:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder scripting is quite useful and will be easy place to see some progress as you learn linux general commands | 04:49 |
| webcamwonder | jack_sparrow, and what about more... robust like... rapid application development... using GUI and stuff? | 04:50 |
| |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. Help please | 04:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder there way pyqt | 04:50 |
| webcamwonder | jack_sparrow: pardon me? | 04:50 |
| bestpvp | someone shoot me | 04:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder pyqt it is a qucik gui rapid deployment setup.. I hate to say google it .. but I dont have a link handy | 04:51 |
| Ne0_WizArd | HELLO | 04:51 |
| chuck | 0/w 30 | 04:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder sorry for the typing but I smushed a finger today | 04:51 |
| Ne0_WizArd | i got a question how can i speedup my internet speed ?!? | 04:51 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: oh, I guess I am good with that... I do ask people to google things as well :d... | 04:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I try to avoid telling people that | 04:52 |
| genii | Ne0_WizArd: For firefox, the addon fasterfox works quite well to tweak | 04:52 |
| Ne0_WizArd | thanks and where can i get that | 04:52 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: Qt would be the development towards KDE environment? What about Gnome an dGDE? | 04:53 |
| Metatron^ | Ne0_WizArd: what connection do you have? obvious answer, buy more bandwith, tweaking mtu can help sometimes, but is usually handled automatically correctly | 04:53 |
| Ne0_WizArd | i have cable | 04:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder things are quite interchangeable these days. I run several kde apps in gnome like k3b and konversation | 04:53 |
| Ne0_WizArd | but am not sure about the speed | 04:53 |
| Metatron^ | if mtu is incorrect, fixing can have a significant effect. | 04:53 |
| Prose | is there a hard drive read/write test ? | 04:54 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: hmm thanks... | 04:54 |
| holycow | . | 04:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder ig you are in gnome.. apt-get something like ksudoku.. just for fun | 04:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | if | 04:55 |
| Ne0_WizArd | the thing is that i an upgrading to the newest version of ubuntu | 04:55 |
| webcamwonder | and last (maybe not), is there a utility to easily see the free disk space in all the mounted points | 04:55 |
| Ne0_WizArd | and it taking a long time | 04:55 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: yeah using Wubi, was able to mess around with Ubuntu quite a lot | 04:55 |
| jc__ | EvilDennisR: I think you were helping me out this morn with my openoffice stuff - if so thanks I got it fixed finally | 04:55 |
| genii | Ne0_WizArd: Apologies. Fasterfox is not available for version 3 of firefox, only version 2. But if you have that, can still get it, from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269 | 04:55 |
| s_spiff | Ne0_WizArd: if i may ask.. why do u wanna upgrade? and not a fresh install? | 04:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder df -h | 04:55 |
| Metatron^ | im running ubuntu without gnome, i need a file search utility but cant seem to find one, suggestions? something other than cat or grep with a gui, and options a result as text would be great | 04:56 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: great, they should make a GUI assisted CLI | 04:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder Do a regular install asap | 04:56 |
| linuxfce | ubuntu is fun | 04:56 |
| Metatron^ | maybe i need to get rox-filer | 04:56 |
| Ne0_WizArd | s_spiff> do u think it would be better | 04:56 |
| Ne0_WizArd | thanks genii | 04:56 |
| genii | Ne0_WizArd: The speed on upgrade depends on other things. Primarily how close the repository is physically to you. | 04:57 |
| Ne0_WizArd | mm | 04:57 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: Just got into Ubuntu, wanted to rip it apart first in order to see its stability | 04:57 |
| s_spiff | Ne0_WizArd: well.. quite a few complaints wrt upgrades.. doesn't rule out issues in a fresh install, but A clean install seems more sensible to me. you can ofcourse back up your stuff and then do a fresh install.. and then restore your data. | 04:57 |
| Ne0_WizArd | what would be best | 04:57 |
| Ne0_WizArd | mmm | 04:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder hardware support is the big issue.. if you plan on using ubuntu and you are buying hardware it is easy. fighting an unsupported device is not fun | 04:58 |
| Ne0_WizArd | the thing is that | 04:58 |
| danbhfive | webcamwonder: I tried to make one, but the project is floundering atm | 04:58 |
| danbhfive | webcamwonder: there are several other projects too... | 04:58 |
| linuxfce | i always do a fresh install | 04:58 |
| Ne0_WizArd | i updated my system today and after updating the system need a restart and i did after that my resolutiuon went all wrong why would that be | 04:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder when you setp your system.. create an extra partition for /home.. you will thank me later | 04:59 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: and then mount it in my fstab? | 04:59 |
| mrealtime | webcamwonder: they do make GUI assisted CLI | 04:59 |
| Metatron^ | Ne0_WizArd: the restricted vidoe driver might have gotten disabled | 04:59 |
| linuxfce | im on my psp with pspirc | 04:59 |
| jc__ | I've got a spare HD I want to install windows on and make this computer a dual boot, is it easier to install windows with all the drives already installed and then reinstall grub, or remove my ubuntu drives, install windows and then tell grub where to find windows? | 04:59 |
| webcamwonder | mrealtime: oh, the irony! | 04:59 |
| Ne0_WizArd | i have already checked on that | 04:59 |
| Ne0_WizArd | and it says that it is in use | 05:00 |
| danbhfive | jc__: imho, the first option | 05:00 |
| linuxfce | i type so slow on this thing | 05:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder dont bother with /home until you lose wubi... you can do a regular install without setting up the extra /home but it isnt hard to do inside the installer | 05:00 |
| genii | webcamwonder: Any more questions before I depart? | 05:01 |
| s_spiff | Ne0_WizArd: edit xorg.conf to whatever resolution you want.. should become sticky. | 05:01 |
| jc__ | danbhfive: is that because windows will complain to much if it do it the second way? | 05:01 |
| webcamwonder | genii: no not now, thank you very much for your help | 05:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jc__ just install windows and fix grub.. | 05:01 |
| afallenhope | anyone able to help me out? I checked the forums and I'm a bit lost. With the sony eye toy... when I try to insert the module I get the following message:insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/extra/ov51x-jpeg.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module | 05:02 |
| genii | webcamwonder: You're welcome and best of luck | 05:02 |
| metalpres | is ff3 final in the hardy repos yet or is it still a seperate install? | 05:02 |
| danbhfive | jc__: no, grub will complain | 05:02 |
| Ne0_WizArd | s_spiff i dont know how to do that | 05:02 |
| s_spiff | metalpres: its in the repos already | 05:02 |
| webcamwonder | genii: thank you, I don't remember how long ago I had this much of fun playuing with OS :D | 05:02 |
| metalpres | sweet | 05:02 |
| s_spiff | do u have nvidia? | 05:02 |
| Flannel | jc__: Windows doesn't pay attention to GRUB in your MBR and overwrites it. The other way around, GRUB plays nice. But you just have to reinstall GRUB to your MBR if you install windows later | 05:02 |
| Ne0_WizArd | yes | 05:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder it gets even better... | 05:02 |
| Metatron^ | Ne0_WizArd: open term and type xrandr, it will show the resolutions it thinks are avialable | 05:02 |
| Metatron^ | xrandr --help might help too | 05:03 |
| Ne0_WizArd | ok | 05:03 |
| jc__ | Jack_Sparrow: danbhfive : Oh OK then thats what I'll do, There's a webpage in the ubuntu docs that will tell me how to reinstall grub right? should I back up the current grub before I do anything? | 05:03 |
| Ne0_WizArd | and what do i do next | 05:03 |
| Metatron^ | if your resolution isnt shown, something happend to xorg or the driver | 05:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jc__ dont worry about grub | 05:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !grub | 05:04 |

| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: ok, now do you have any experience in the field of video editing? | 05:04 |
| Ne0_WizArd | it does show 800x600 | 05:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder tons.. but I cheat and dual boot | 05:04 |
| danbhfive | !fixgrub > jc__ | 05:04 |
| Flannel | jc__: Its only overwriting a small part of GRUB, so your menu config will be untouched, etc | 05:04 |
| s_spiff | Ne0_WizArd: ok great.. open up a terminal and enter : sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.confback then go to System > Admin > Nvidia Server Settings | 05:04 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: doesn't matter, got vista on my laptop... here is myt problem | 05:04 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !samba > gooody | 05:05 |

| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow: tried almost eveyrhting, quick way to fix it without reencoding? | 05:05 |
| Metatron^ | !samba >Metatron^ | 05:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder if the pvr isnt giving you a standard ts file you will need to re-encode.. I dont know a way around it. | 05:06 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow, aww that almost means hours and hours to waste... | 05:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder my pioneer works just fine | 05:06 |

| choudesh | buymytoasters, when you see the boot screen/splash screen - hit F6 to edit the properties and take out the 'quiet --' and tell me where it stops | 05:57 |

| kininja | buymytoasters Maybe it's fscking? | 05:58 |
| webcamwonder | !find super | 05:58 |

| android6011_ | robble | 05:59 |
| buymytoasters | Going to try the quiet and splash fix. One more question before I go, how would I determine if my cd drive is at fault? I've had this issue one other time (trying to install fallout 1 ;) ) | 06:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | buymytoasters dell and hp really need the cd burned at a very slow speed.. | 06:01 |
| buymytoasters | I did it at 10x, slow enough? | 06:01 |
| webcamwonder | Didn't you already verify the md5sum as well? | 06:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | buymytoasters dell or hp? | 06:01 |
| buymytoasters | did verify md5sum | 06:01 |
| buymytoasters | HP | 06:01 |
| webcamwonder | after burn before burn? | 06:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | buymytoasters It seems stupid that even with md5 being right that burning slow would make a difference.. but it does.. | 06:02 |
| buymytoasters | before, when I try and check cd integrity (or however its worded) it hangs | 06:02 |

| ubottu | bastard: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:02 |
| webcamwonder | I think that mught be your problem | 06:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | buymytoasters if it does not pass integrity test you need to reburn | 06:02 |
| buymytoasters | Hmmm, will reburn at 1x then | 06:02 |
| robotgeek | hi, i have kubuntu hardy installed. my computer has 4gb of ram (bios reports so). how come free -m does not report 4 gb. !pastebin is here: http://pastebin.com/d45696b63 | 06:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | buymytoasters 4x should be fine | 06:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | robotgeek you should see 3.4 or so | 06:03 |
| jbroome | robotgeek: 32bit vs 64bit | 06:03 |
| buymytoasters | looking forward to having Ubuntu breath new life into this 6yo HP, thanks for the help folks. Hopefully I won't be back too soon | 06:03 |
| quicksilver_ | Question: Why does ubuntu have so much junk installed, yet it leaves out great things like lmsensors? If you are going to have an OS with everything, you might as well include the necessities. :) | 06:04 |
| Flannel | quicksilver_: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that question | 06:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | quicksilver_ comments and opinions belong in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:04 |
| robotgeek | jbroome, Jack_Sparrow : so unless i move to 64bit, i wont see the extra gb? | 06:04 |

| Jack_Sparrow | robotgeek It is in use.. if you need to see the 4 gigs free .. install the server kernel | 06:05 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow any mind jogs with the ffmpeg gui? | 06:05 |
| robotgeek | Jack_Sparrow: so, if i understand this right, ubuntu is using it, just displaying it incorrectly? | 06:05 |

| Jack_Sparrow | webcamwonder nothing comes to mind.. like I said.. it is late.. mind is getting foggy | 06:07 |
| webcamwonder | Jack_Sparrow just tried "Super" under wine and the program failed miserably | 06:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb | 06:08 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 06:08 |
| ZLemur | curious: I downloaded ubuntu just now (8.04) and extracted the .iso to disk | 06:09 |
| ZLemur | i ran the installer and got all sorts of fun options (kubuntu, xubuntu etc.) | 06:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !burniso | 06:09 |
| ubottu | To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 06:09 |
| ZLemur | i noted that it wanted a 550 mb download of installation files. | 06:09 |
| ZLemur | i thought maybe it was becuase i just extracted the image, so i mounted it on a virtual drive. | 06:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZLemur did you download the minimal cd by chance | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | when i wen to run the installation from there, all those options were gone. just gave me 'ubuntu' as an option (And wanted 733mb download) | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | probably, Jack_Sparrow | 06:10 |
| coldboot|home | Is there a program that can print out the dimensions of a video file? | 06:10 |
| adityag | how do i play .dat (VIDEO FILE) ??? | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | the question is, though | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | why does it remove options if it's mounted? | 06:10 |
| coldboot|home | Or pass arguments to mplayer to get it to quit immediately? | 06:10 |
| Ashfire908 | What is the difference between the -generic/-server kernel and the -rt kernel? | 06:10 |
| coldboot|home | Or ffmpeg? | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | when i went back to the on-disk extraction, the options were also gone. | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | when i unmounted the image, the options came back | 06:10 |
| ZLemur | just seemed strange to me | 06:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZLemur I have not used the minimal.. so no idea | 06:11 |
| adityag | adityag: what do i install to play a .dat (video file) & .wmv files ? | 06:11 |
| theLichKing | what is the other name for 8.04? | 06:11 |
| theLichKing | and why don't they just use version numbers and stop confusing people | 06:11 |
| oswado | ZLemur--> you extracted the iso and run the installer? you meant you put an entry in your menu list and rebooted right? | 06:12 |
| jbroome | theLichKing: i think you're the only one that's confused. | 06:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | adityag install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:12 |
| jbroome | 8.04 is the version number, hardy heron is the name | 06:12 |
| ZLemur | Noya, i used winrar to extract the iso to my harddrive | 06:12 |
| ZLemur | and ran wubi.exe | 06:12 |
| theLichKing | ok, how am i supposed to remember a stupid name like hardy heroin? | 06:12 |
| theLichKing | 8.04 is pretty straight forward | 06:12 |
| ZLemur | not Noya, just 'no'^ | 06:12 |
| adityag | Jack_Sparrow: thank you | 06:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theLichKing 8 = 2008... 04 = month.. not difficult | 06:13 |
| theLichKing | Jack_Sparrow: i know, right? | 06:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZLemur Read the faq for using wubi.. carefully | 06:13 |
| theLichKing | while hardy heroin doesn't make sense at all | 06:13 |
| theLichKing | and hard to remember | 06:13 |
| theLichKing | and confusing | 06:13 |
| LSD|Ninja | ZLemur: wubi is the windows installer, you need to burn the iso and boot the CD to install it normally | 06:13 |
| ZLemur | ok.. | 06:13 |
| ZLemur | ah | 06:13 |
| theLichKing | and not supposed to be official | 06:13 |
| theLichKing | just a code name | 06:13 |
| ZLemur | will the way i'm doing it technically work, though? | 06:13 |
| geckosenator | how do I change the permissions for usb devices so my user can access them? | 06:14 |
| ZLemur | or will it be all smurfed up? | 06:14 |
| theLichKing | yet, they use the names in the documentation | 06:14 |
| LSD|Ninja | ZLemur: sure | 06:14 |
| alfa119 | hi, I am having an issue with port forwarding, is there something I am missing? | 06:14 |
| ZLemur | cause it's 498mb into it. | 06:14 |
| theLichKing | like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager | 06:14 |
| webcamwonder | coldboot|home: you want the res of the viode? | 06:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | theLichKing Your comments belong in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ZLemur it will probably be smurfed up | 06:15 |
| alfa119 | the issue is, I am using virtualbox port forwarding and I want to be able to port forward to the designated port on the host, but on the host its not accepting forwarded ports, and outside access to the system | 06:15 |
| ZLemur | ungh. guess i'll get to burnin | 06:15 |

| FAJALOU | ok, are you using network-manager? | 06:39 |
| logan | yes i am | 06:39 |
| Zoiks | webcamwonder: the folder I shared using the nautilus thing is not in the samba share config file | 06:40 |
| FAJALOU | ok so when you connect does it ask you for a wep code? | 06:40 |
| logan | yes it does | 06:40 |
| dmsuperman | ...do you put in the proper code? | 06:40 |
| FAJALOU | and are you sure that you put it in correctly, and that the key code is correct? | 06:40 |
| logan | lol yes i do | 06:40 |
| tech0007 | ganthor93: sorry i dont recall what the issue is | 06:40 |
| logan | i even show the code, its correct | 06:40 |
| dmsuperman | case sensitive i believe | 06:40 |
| dmsuperman | check for spaces at the end or beginning, sometimes they sneak in there | 06:41 |
| trivial | hello | 06:41 |
| logan | i am connected with my dell laptop with the same code... | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | it shouldn't have an issue, honestly if you're sure you're doing it right i'd look at the router | 06:41 |
| logan | im connected wwith my other laptop though... | 06:41 |
| _Net | Is it important I load all the modules I want in gentoo while installing gentoo or can I do that later. Im not sure what all the modules are yet | 06:42 |

| tecknomancer | hi | 06:42 |
| logan | the network says 0/92 signal...which is weird too... | 06:42 |
| dmsuperman | _Net, not really an Ubuntu question :P | 06:42 |

| Zoiks | i cant find the folder on the local pc | 06:43 |
| dmsuperman | kininja, no worries | 06:43 |
| marpal | hello | 06:43 |
| trivial | logan what is wrong with your internet? | 06:43 |
| marpal | i have a problem | 06:44 |
| FAJALOU | logan: you could possibly try installing wifi-radar, and seeing if you can connect through that, | 06:44 |
| oswado | anyone i can bother with GRE tunneling? I tried the tutorials and cant get the data to pass through the tunnel, is there some extra steps I have to do tell make the user use the tunnel? | 06:44 |
| dmsuperman | trivial, he can't connect to a WEP net | 06:44 |
| logan | trivial: wifi doesnt connect... | 06:44 |
| Zoiks | webcamwonder: but i can access it via samba on the local and via a remote pc | 06:44 |
| marpal | somebody I need help | 06:44 |
| dmsuperman | logan, why are you even using WEP? you realize it can be cracked in like less than a minute? | 06:44 |
| logan | FAJALOU: ill try that...but i dont have internet right now...its wireless... | 06:44 |

| dmsuperman | !ask | marpal | 06:44 |
| ubottu | marpal: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 06:44 |
| logan | dmsuperman: i know... | 06:44 |

| ubottu | trivial: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 06:44 |
| marpal | how? | 06:44 |
| FAJALOU | logan: try going to packages.ubuntu.com and then finding the correct package | 06:45 |
| logan | FAJALOU: ok | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | logan, I'd try to get it with WPA rather than WEP, unless you plan on using WEP permanently, in which case reference my previous statement | 06:45 |
| FAJALOU | from another computer, load it on a flash drive, and then cp it over. | 06:45 |
| SiegeX | how do I list the files that a package just installed? | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | marpal, just ask it. if somebody knows, they'll answer. If you've gone a while without anybody even responding to you, try asking it again | 06:45 |
| oswado | tecknomancer--> detected by the os ? and not by 8.04? what do you mean? | 06:45 |
| sheep | SiegeX: dpkg -L name-of-package | 06:45 |
| FAJALOU | trying to get suspend to ram to work with proprietary drivers can anyone help?? | 06:45 |
| marpal | why is the AWN manager did not run | 06:46 |
| tecknomancer | no sorry probably just that my english is bad detected by ubuntu just not the router.... | 06:46 |
| SiegeX | sheep: ahh, I was trying to use apt-cache, thanks | 06:46 |
| marpal | I just installed the necessary repo | 06:46 |
| dmsuperman | marpal, try to run it from the command line to see if it has any errors | 06:46 |
| generic | hi all i want to send A3 printing from Xpdf or Kpdf any idea | 06:46 |
| generic | its not working | 06:46 |
| marpal | how? | 06:46 |
| dmsuperman | marpal, I don't remember the command off the top of my head...check System -> Preferences -> Main Menu to get your menu options, then find AWN Manager in the menu, right click and go to properties | 06:47 |
| tecknomancer | seem like the networkmanager fail to start | 06:47 |
| oswado | tecknomancer--> what test did you do on the route that indicates it detected your wifi nic card but not your ubuntu? | 06:47 |
| dmsuperman | marpal, that'll give you the command it executes to open AWN manager. Paste that command in a terminal window and then look at the output to see if it gives you any errors | 06:47 |
| marpal | ok i'll check it | 06:47 |
| oswado | tecknomancer--> router* | 06:47 |
| tecknomancer | well the icon that show the network say marwell adaptor so i guess it detected | 06:47 |
| oswado | !who | tecknomancer | 06:48 |
| ubottu | tecknomancer: 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 :) | 06:48 |
| dmsuperman | I hate this channel. I was supposed to go to bed like 2 hours ago but every time it finally seems like there's no more questions I can answer somebody asks another one. I never get enough sleep :( | 06:48 |

| graft | hi, how can i get an ubuntu-packaged firefox 3? is it available yet? for hardy? | 06:49 |
| marpal | sorry for being noob, | 06:49 |
| [dmsuperman] | marpal, I told you how to find it | 06:49 |
| jbroome | !ff3 | graft | 06:49 |
| marpal | I'm so new in ubuntu | 06:49 |
| ubottu | graft: Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. | 06:49 |
| Flannel | graft: It is. It should already be available if you have hardy-updates enabled | 06:49 |
| oswado | tecknomancer--> sudo lshw -C network would tell you if your wifi nic is detected at all | 06:49 |
| trivial | graft try google into firefox 3 | 06:49 |
| webcamwonder | Zioks could you repeat that | 06:49 |
| webcamwonder | Zoiks does it work across network or not? | 06:49 |
| graft | Flannel: hardy-updates, you say? | 06:49 |
| FAJALOU | trying to get suspend to ram to work with proprietary drivers can anyone help?? | 06:49 |
| Flannel | graft: indeed. You should already have it enabled | 06:50 |
| [dmsuperman] | I need to get some sleep. If somebody could help marpal figure out how to execute AWN Manager from the command line I'd/marpal'd appreciate it. | 06:50 |
| tecknomancer | oswado thanks have to reboot i am on windoze cuz not net lol | 06:50 |
| tecknomancer | oswado back after | 06:50 |
| graft | Flannel: what's the difference between that and hardy-backports? | 06:50 |
| [dmsuperman] | I just don't remember the command for it :) | 06:50 |
| oswado | FAJALOU--> once you have suspend to ram works, you go into hibernate mode? | 06:50 |
| trivial | is ubuntu ready for wifi? | 06:50 |
| Flannel | graft: -updates is regular updates to packages (non security updates, but just regular updates), -backports is where a backport from a newer version is backported into Hardy | 06:50 |
| Flannel | !backports | graft | 06:51 |
| ubottu | graft: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 06:51 |
| oswado | trivial--> what do you mean? | 06:51 |
| marpal | thanks for your help but seems it won't open on my desktop | 06:51 |
| FAJALOU | oswado: ok what happened is i went into suspend to ram, and then i had to reboot, | 06:51 |
| graft | Flannel: i kinda see, thanks | 06:52 |
| FAJALOU | then when i got back in, it said that sleep didn't work correctly | 06:52 |

| graft | !ask > marpal | 06:52 |
| oswado | FAJALOU--> i doubt that hibernation works well yet...a bit buggy still | 06:52 |
| SiegeX | whats the difference between "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal" ? What does the latter do that the former does not? | 06:53 |
| creeed | hello every body | 06:53 |
| sheep | SiegeX: the latter also removes things like config files | 06:53 |
| oswado | SiegeX--> config files included in mark for complete removal | 06:53 |
| FAJALOU | oswado: ok,,, so suspend to ram, i tried pressing a keyboard button, and it didn't start the computer back up, is that correct? | 06:53 |
| SiegeX | thanks guys | 06:53 |
| Flannel | SiegeX: Its the same as removing with apt-get with --purge | 06:53 |
| marlon_ | please | 06:53 |

| creeed | I get my home Folder content in the Desktop!! how can I fix this? | 06:54 |
| albec1 | anyone know why firefox 3 isnt in 7.10 yet? | 06:54 |
| === albec1 is now known as albech | ||
| oswado | FAJALOU--> i have not done it myself, but from questions asked here and reading i 've done, its just not quite there yet..cant get back easily from hibernate | 06:54 |
| marlon_ | albech i think it's not included on 7.10 | 06:54 |
| creeed | where can I find the config-file to configure the Desktop folder to be on my Desktop? | 06:54 |
| marlon_ | you can have ff3 if u install the hardy | 06:54 |
| albech | marlon_: well shouldnt it appear as a normal upgrade? | 06:55 |
| FAJALOU | hmmm, ok oswado what about suspend? because i went into suspend to ram and then typing on my keyboard didn't do anything... | 06:55 |
| trivial | albecl didn't firefox 3 just come out? didnt 7.10 come out before firefox3? | 06:55 |
| marlon_ | I don't think so | 06:55 |
| albech | marlon_: had tons of problems with wireless in hardy | 06:55 |
| marlon_ | much better if you install hady | 06:55 |
| oswado | FAJALOU--> i believe those fall on the same category, just not quite working yet, people have lots of issues.. | 06:55 |
| Flannel | albech: No. Software in Ubuntu is generally frozen to the versions it released with (except for updates) | 06:55 |
| sheep | albech: the updates for firefox in 7.10 are just for the 2.x branch of firefox | 06:56 |
| trivial | I hve a problem "request to switch into FULLSCREEN mode failed: too dumb terminal 'xterm' (no cursor move capabilitie)" in both konsole and xterm | 06:56 |
| trivial | any clues? | 06:56 |
| albech | marlon_: as far as i can tell from the bug-base the wireless card issues are still unresolved for my card | 06:56 |
| marlon_ | well, maybe they can fix it once ubuntu 8.10 released | 06:56 |
| FAJALOU | oswado: hmmm ok shoot, what was interesting though was that when i clicked the power button and restarted i was able to get everything back, like open files etc... is that normal? | 06:56 |
| albech | ill try hardy again once the project is finished.. i dont really have time to work on a hardy installation atm :( | 06:57 |
| oswado | FAJALOU--> its a hit and miss kind of thing, some people get lucky, lots are not, so i'd say you were succesful in recovery..not sure how often you can repeat such feats | 06:57 |
| FAJALOU | hmm ok, so just turn it off :P | 06:58 |
| creeed | my desktop-folder is the home-folder? any idea how do I fix this? | 06:58 |
| oswado | FAJALOU--> yes, may as well shutdown | 06:58 |

| dyf | soldats: ok, good idea | 07:07 |
| dyf | soldats: but i didn't like LFS | 07:08 |

| dyf | it starts well, but then you just fetch packages and install | 07:08 |
| adityag | Jack_Sparrow :: you there ? | 07:09 |
| soldats | well then id say get any linux users guide from a local used or new bookstore or maybe something on linux administration | 07:09 |

| dyf | newbee617: upload them manually? | 07:24 |
| Danish989 | Kylek: are you talking about the appearance mangaer? | 07:25 |
| tech0007 | newbee617: use picasa2 | 07:25 |
| dyf | newbee617: use Flock? | 07:25 |

| annie_g | Hi - I used this command in Terminal to get my DVD to play movies - "wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" - It worked great! Can someone tell me what "&&" part means ? ? | 07:33 |
| wsbuntu | ds | 07:34 |
| nickrud | annie_g do the following command if the previous command completed successfully | 07:34 |
| adityag | annie_g: that means LOGICAL AND | 07:34 |
| nickrud | adityag not in a bash line ;) | 07:34 |
| annie_g | nickrud: The command worked - I just was curious what the " && " part of command this does? | 07:35 |
| adityag | annie_g: other-wise u have to enter those commands one after the another , right ??? nickrud: ?? | 07:35 |
| nickrud | annie_g see my previous line, that's what it means | 07:35 |
| bpun | anyone knows of a special usb device-- it is an unusual request but i'm looking if there is such a usb device that connects to two usb ports, each of its ends to separate machines> so that 1 machine serves an iso image and the other machine sees it as a usb cd-drive.. | 07:35 |

| bpun | sherkin, no prob | 07:35 |
| === Helios is now known as Helios_Pramod | ||
| nickrud | adityag yes, but it doesn't complete both commands and compare the result | 07:35 |
| adityag | nickrud: now am i right ? | 07:35 |
| denis | hola | 07:36 |
| bpun | sherkin, there's also good online sites i'm sure with commentaries (like php for eg) | 07:36 |
| nickrud | adityag it's not a comparison, but sort of an if then statement | 07:36 |
| newbee617 | i still don't understand . u seems used some strange command on me .but , i will forget it | 07:36 |
| annie_g | nickrud: Sorry misunderstood - I see what you're saying - Thanks also! | 07:36 |
| orphean | annie_g: apt-get install foo && apt-get install bar The system will only run 'apt-get install bar' if 'apt-get install foo' completes without an error. you can chain a bunch of commands together like that and it will stop at the first error or complete. | 07:36 |

| micahcowan | nickrud, it _is_ a logical operator, however, which is what adityag actually said... | 07:38 |

| Helios_Pramod | hihihihi... Ubuntu is coool... :) | 07:39 |
| Bangers | I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 via Wubi, but it's throwing a "cant read cd" type error | 07:39 |
| Bangers | in the log, it says: CD2ISO failed: LastError = 1 Incorrect function. | 07:39 |
| Bangers | what can I do? | 07:39 |
| adityag | sorry.......i am new to shell programmingg, and said that as i know C | 07:39 |
| newbee617 | Flock is an RSS aggregator written in Java. so i don't think it can help to upload photos. | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Bangers have you tried doing the install with the iso rather than the physical cd? | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Bangers I had better luck with the iso and not using a cd myself | 07:40 |
| Helios_Pramod | Bangers: are you sure the cd is not corrupt? | 07:40 |
| Helios_Pramod | Bangers: do an integrity check on the cd... :) | 07:40 |
| Bangers | Yes the CD is fine | 07:40 |
| Bangers | Helios_Pramod: how can I do an integrity check on the CD? | 07:41 |
| mynetdude | does anybody know if there is limewire for ubuntu? | 07:41 |
| Helios_Pramod | check for the hash using MD5checksum... | 07:41 |
| mynetdude | how do I get wine? I wanna run MSN Live Messenger and AIM on ubuntu | 07:42 |
| sherkin | Do you think there is any reason why there are so few opensource packages in C++? Portability ? Culture ? | 07:42 |
| bazhang | !wine | mynetdude | 07:42 |
| ubottu | mynetdude: 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. | 07:43 |
| pollie | sherkin, that is incorrect | 07:43 |
| nickrud | mynetdude try frostwire , but limewire is java and runs under linux | 07:43 |
| tmassey | tmasey | 07:43 |
| mynetdude | nickrud whats the difference between frostwire and limewire? | 07:43 |
| micahcowan | sherkin, a variety of probable reasons, but it's really not topical here. | 07:43 |
| mynetdude | cool I will check them out... | 07:44 |
| mynetdude | !appDB | 07:44 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:44 |
| nickrud | Bangers https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-7e85795f0b0ee2beb8c8b28e2eaba6b3dee2b68d a few paragraphs down: An installation procedure that will work in most cases is the following: Works for Me™ | 07:44 |
| sherkin | micahcowan: Thanks. Could you point me somewhere ? | 07:44 |
| pen | mynetdude: lol, one is not free one is free | 07:44 |
| mynetdude | pen you saying limewire isn't free? | 07:44 |
| micahcowan | sherkin, sorry, I don't know any good sources on that. Google, I guess. | 07:44 |
| nickrud | mynetdude frostwire seemed to work better than limewire for me | 07:44 |
| pen | mynetdude: it is not if you want full feature | 07:45 |
| DracoZA | Hi, for some reason when I start my machine instead of booting into Ubuntu its botting into something called "BusyBox" and I have no idea why... ? | 07:45 |
| trevheg | does anyone know if drivers for the RaLink RT61 wireless chipset are included in the current linux kernel? | 07:45 |
| pen | mynetdude: well i'm not very sure, but you have to pay for the pro | 07:45 |
| Zoiks | why does my flash stop working?> | 07:45 |
| metalpres | does alltray work with 8.04? it worked fine on gutsy, but now with hardy any program i run doesnt show up in the tray or the taskbar | 07:45 |
| sherkin | The reason I asked here is precisely that very little info exists on it. So I would deduce it's cultural ? | 07:46 |
| mynetdude | I don't use limewire, my brother does... so I'll see what I can do | 07:46 |
| Helios_Pramod | metalpres: wat's alltray? | 07:46 |
| mynetdude | if Limewire Pro is java I'd get that... I already have pro for windows | 07:46 |
| pollie | sherkin, C++ is a language that is tougher to master | 07:47 |
| Britney | hello friends, I'm a newbie and I don't know how does my desktop configuration change the desktop folder to my home folder? any suggestion please? | 07:47 |
| metalpres | it forces any program to run in the system tray so when you minimize something it goes to the tray instead of the taskbar | 07:47 |
| pollie | what you are asking, is similar to "why people prefer PHP ?" | 07:47 |
| DracoZA | can anyone tell me why my machine is booting into "BusyBox" ? | 07:47 |
| mynetdude | brb need to see if I can run the google browser sync from ubuntu in FF3 | 07:47 |
| nickrud | mynetdude frostwire or gtk-gnutella, they both work the same network as limewire | 07:47 |
| micahcowan | And still off-topic... | 07:48 |
| mynetdude | oh ok frostwire then... | 07:48 |
| pollie | simple, you have your work cut down better at times for simple tasks with another language/platform, so people tend to go after that; anyway, yes, offtopic :) | 07:48 |
| sherkin | pollie: And easier to structure and maintain, and manage memory ... | 07:48 |
| nickrud | Britney change the desktop folder? Your question isn't very clear. Desktop configuration is mostly kept in .gconf, .gnome2, .config and .local in your home directory | 07:48 |
| pollie | sherkin, about memory management, well that is not actually a problem | 07:49 |
| pollie | pm ? | 07:49 |
| afallenhope | anyone know how to get itunes to work? I have an iPod Touch and I need to update the firmware. Supposedly there's a huge security bug. | 07:49 |

| nickrud | afallenhope I havent' tried that yet, but have heard horror stories | 07:51 |
| xeno_ | as | 07:51 |
| nickrud | sherkin kde is written in c++ , the community doesn't hate it, just zealots | 07:51 |
| orphean | afallenhope: Its possible. I've had to do it for someone. | 07:51 |
| afallenhope | orphean: you think you can help me out? | 07:52 |
| orphean | afallenhope: Getting the virtualized windows installation to recognize the ipod is plugged in a pure voodoo. just a warning. | 07:52 |
| Britney | nickrud, thanks for replying. the Desktop foreground contains files of my Home Directory! it should contains files from ~/Desktop but it doesnt after I rename the Desktop folder from desktop to Desktop, as I rename it back it happens nothing. | 07:52 |
| micahcowan | sherkin, there is actually tons of free software written in C++, it's just perhaps less common than C. And you should really discuss this elsewhere, maybe #ubuntu-offtopic. | 07:52 |
| orphean | afallenhope: there's not much to help with. install vmware. install windows. plug in the ipod and pray. :) | 07:52 |

| Britney | nickrud, I just know want to get the Desktop foreground to show me files of ~/Desktop or ~/desktop and not from the home folder | 07:54 |

| Spudly | nickrud: no mate, not me - i'm wondering if anyone is havin GARTSize issues on Hardy. btw - forcing the mount actually worked on my system and reset the ntfs log which meant the error didn't come back | 08:03 |
| nickrud | Spudly yeah, I found the right guy :) | 08:03 |
| Flannel | shonen: Do you have hardy-proposed enabled? | 08:03 |
| Spudly | nickrud: all good | 08:03 |
| nickrud | stodan you mean the labels under the buttons? right click the bar , then near the bottom there's a choice about showing text or only icons | 08:03 |
| nickrud | Spudly he was just before you in the scroll, eye drift | 08:04 |
| quinn | can anybody help me to upgrade the kernal of ubuntu server 8.04 . sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt work | 08:04 |
| stodan | nickrud, on bookmark bar, i found plugin for that | 08:04 |
| Flannel | quinn: What errors does it give? pastebin them | 08:04 |
| Spudly | nickrud: hehe - no dramas, wouldn't be the first person (or the last) | 08:04 |
| Flannel | quinn: actually, pastebin this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:04 |
| nickrud | quinn if you have -19 , you have the latest version from ubuntu | 08:04 |
| quinn | no errors,it just said 0 will update | 08:04 |
| Flannel | quinn: What makes you think you aren't at the latest then? | 08:05 |
| quinn | 2.6.24-17-server | 08:05 |
| shonen | Flannel:never mind, I just found a solution: "sudo aptitude install tzdata tzdata-java" it seems the latest version has some broken dependencies, and it reverted to an earlier revision. | 08:05 |
| BoltClock | how do i get grub to only display the latest ubuntu kernel? setting howmany=1 in /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt work | 08:05 |
| Flannel | shonen: You said that. Do you have hardy-proposed enabled? | 08:05 |
| quinn | Flannel, 2.6.24-17-server | 08:05 |
| Spudly | quinn: do you mean upgrade to 8.04, or just updating the kernel in 8.04? | 08:05 |
| Flannel | quinn: pastebin sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:05 |
| quinn | Flannel, i want to upgrade to -19 | 08:05 |
| soundray | BoltClock: did you run 'sudo update-grub' after making that setting? | 08:06 |
| thebinz | uname -r | 08:06 |
| quinn | just kernel | 08:06 |
| kakalto | will my install screw up if I change every instance of "dapper" in my /etc/sources.list to "hardy" | 08:06 |
| kakalto | ? | 08:06 |
| Flannel | kakalto: You should use update manager | 08:06 |
| shonen | Flannel: not sure. netbeans is installing right now, so I cannot open synaptic to check. | 08:06 |
| BoltClock | soundray: nope. will do that now. although i didnt need to do that after setting timeout. does it have something to do with the # symbol? | 08:06 |
| generic | guys any one work on SAP gui in ubuntu | 08:06 |
| generic | ? | 08:06 |
| soundray | kakalto: most definitely yes | 08:06 |
| Sertse | odd | 08:06 |
| nickrud | kakalto and probably yes | 08:06 |
| Flannel | shonen: open /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:06 |
| Spudly | kakalto: you're fridge will be the first to go, then you're tv | 08:06 |
| Sertse | its won't let me on the forums | 08:06 |
| kakalto | Flannel: mm, I'm trying; having a little trouble =] | 08:06 |
| kakalto | soundray, nickrud, thanks | 08:06 |
| kakalto | Spudly: already gone =P | 08:07 |
| Sertse | nevermind, now it works | 08:07 |
| Flannel | kakalto: Alright, if update manager isnt working for you we can do it manually, yes. Theres a few steps to be done before that though. | 08:07 |
| soundray | BoltClock: the timeout affects the behaviour of the boot loader directly. The options that start with # affect update-grub | 08:07 |
| BoltClock | i see | 08:07 |
| shonen | Flannel: no, it is not in sources.list | 08:07 |
| Spudly | kakalto: i tried to use update manager to go from Edgy to Hardy - i had a few X11 issues, so I re-installed Hardy from CD (backup, format, install) | 08:07 |
| Flannel | Spudly: You can't go from Edgy to Hardy. You can go from dapper to hardy. | 08:07 |
| quinn | Spudly, i just want to update the kernel in 8.04 | 08:08 |
| orphean | Flannel: What? Yes you can. | 08:08 |
| Flannel | quinn: Have you pastebinned that command yet? | 08:08 |
| Flannel | orphean: You have to go Edgy > Feisty > Gutsy > Hardy | 08:08 |
| kakalto | Flannel, Spudly, okay... Is there a webpage that just shows dapper --> Hardy upgrade, manual? | 08:08 |
| quinn | Flannel, it will take some time | 08:08 |
| orphean | Flannel: ah i see what you mean. | 08:09 |
| Spudly | Flannel: i was given the option to use upgrade-manager to 8.04 (which I used), so it may have been dapper - either way, had a few issues so I decided to install fresh... | 08:09 |
| sherkin | gordonjcp: I'm talking on #ubuntu-offtopic with micahcowan and pollie | 08:09 |
| soundray | kakalto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades | 08:09 |
| Flannel | kakalto: Its pretty simple. Make sure you have your kernel metapackage, ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, and any other metapackages (apache2, for instance) installed. Make sure you're up to date with dapper (that includes dapper-updates). Disable any third party repos (hopefully none, if there are, and if they are used heavily, you'll need to evaluate their effect on the upgrade). then change dapper to hardy in sources.list, update, and dist-up | 08:10 |
| kakalto | See, what I find is that it tells me everything is up to date | 08:10 |
| soundray | kakalto: the command line version is under "Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers" | 08:10 |
| Britney | nickrud, /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir was unchecked, ~/Desktop exists, I unshekd shekd the key in gconf-editor, nothings changes, any other suggestion pls? | 08:10 |
| Spudly | kakalto: the update-manager does do an excellent job of upgrading and bringing you back into ubuntu (considering everything that has to happen, it's a really smart tool) - i just had some X issues which weren't resolved (and just complicated) by the upgrade... | 08:10 |
| soundray | Flannel: dist-upgrade from dapper to hardy will break | 08:11 |
| nickrud | Britney did you restart nautilus? | 08:11 |
| === max976 is now known as max` | ||
| Flannel | kakalto: Do you have a desktop metapackage as well? | 08:11 |
| Flannel | soundray: No it wont | 08:11 |

| soundray | Flannel: you have to do sudo do-release-upgrade | 08:11 |

| nickrud | Britney no, those are the only things I've had to do to switch back and forth between home as desktop and Desktop as desktop | 08:12 |
| Flannel | soundray: No, you don't. And the dapper update manager is failing for a lot of people anyway. | 08:12 |
| kakalto | Flannel, Spudly, cheers, I'm going to go off and give this all a go now, I'll be back if there's trouble :-) | 08:12 |
| Spudly | kakalto: backup your goodies first! | 08:12 |
| kakalto | oh, and soundray, thanks to you too =] | 08:12 |

| edavidburg | Is there an ETA on a fix for the prefetching issue on ubuntuforums.org? | 08:13 |
| Flannel | kakalto: Again, if you do have a GUI on this (I thought you said server, but could be mistaken) make sure you have your proper *-desktop metapackage as ewll | 08:13 |
| soundray | Flannel: there you go, but you thought you should contradict me twice | 08:13 |
| Flannel | edavidburg: ask in #ubuntuforums | 08:13 |
| * soundray shakes head | 08:13 | |
| quinn | Flannel, thanks ,it works | 08:13 |
| Britney | nickrud, okay thanks anyway | 08:13 |
| edavidburg | Already did, no one's there. | 08:13 |
| Flannel | soundray: What? | 08:13 |
| kakalto | Flannel: nah, not server - kubuntu, actually | 08:14 |
| Flannel | kakalto: Ah, then make sure you have kubuntu-desktop installed as well. | 08:14 |

| Danish989 | Hi all | 08:19 |
| nickrud | Spudly sadly, I've only had a question I needed answered answered her a couple of times | 08:19 |
| nickrud | s/her/here/ | 08:19 |
| Danish989 | Is there any way I can set a different wallpaper for different workstations? | 08:19 |
| nickrud | Danish989 there are some scripts that claim to do that; if you want to do it with compiz you have to recompile some stuff. Not trivial | 08:20 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: I have no idea about compiling | 08:20 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: Can't it be done within ubuntu already? Or can't I just install some program via synaptic that allows me to do so? | 08:21 |
| nickrud | Danish989 so, you wait with the rest of us (been waiting for years) | 08:21 |
| soundray | Danish989: do you have desktop effects enabled? | 08:21 |
| Danish989 | soundray: yeah | 08:21 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: bummer :( | 08:21 |
| Spudly | nickrud: does anyone who knows ubuntu internals come on at all?? | 08:22 |
| ghindo | Hibernate no longer works for me, yet suspend works fine. What's wrong? | 08:22 |
| Danish989 | soundray: desktop cubes, wobbly effects, the works. Do you have a plan? | 08:22 |
| nickrud | Spudly Flannel is here, and others | 08:22 |
| Danish989 | ghindo: did you install with wubi? | 08:22 |
| soundray | Danish989: the one that nickrud suggested | 08:22 |
| Danish989 | soundray: wallpapoz, I presume? | 08:22 |
| Spudly | nickrud: probably should apologise to Flannel then shouldn't I (sorry Flannel) :P | 08:22 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: were you talking about ''wallpapoz'' ? | 08:23 |
| nickrud | Spudly not as often as I would like. They did a lot in the early days, but this sucks too much time | 08:23 |
| nickrud | Danish989 it sucks | 08:23 |
| ghindo | Danish989: No, it's a clean Ubuntu 8.04 install | 08:23 |
| Britney | nickrud, I fixed it after changing the path on ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs next, I just want to initial it for the victim ^^ | 08:23 |
| Spudly | nickrud: absolutely | 08:23 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: I read somewhere that ''wallpaper-tray'' and ''drapes'' can do the same, do you know about that? | 08:23 |
| Flannel | Spudly: For what? I don't knw of anything apology-worthy | 08:23 |
| nickrud | Britney ah! I know of that, but only vaguely. I'll play with it for the next time, thanks | 08:24 |
| Spudly | Flannel: oh good - was hoping you wouldn't have interpreted my comment as an inference that there wasn't anyone here who knew ubuntu internals | 08:24 |
| nickrud | Danish989 yes, and they all suck | 08:24 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: suck, as in, have crappy interface, or just don't work? | 08:24 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: even if its a pain in the @** to look at, but works, I'll use it .. I just want a seperate wallpaper for my seperate workstations, so if I get tired of looking at angelina jolie i switch to jessica alba on the fly | 08:25 |
| nickrud | Danish989 as in don't work smoothly. Like, you shift desktops, and after a visible delay they switch backgrounds, or the rotate the background on all desktops, other glitches | 08:25 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: that just plain sucks | 08:25 |
| nickrud | :) | 08:25 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: oh well, guess I'll join you guys with the wait | 08:25 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: by the way, congratulate me, I finally have Ubuntu running and am happy with it :D | 08:26 |
| nickrud | congrats ;) | 08:26 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: I dont know if you remember or not, but I've been here a million times just to get it to work, and now it finally is :) | 08:26 |
| Danish989 | nickrud: anyway, thanks again | 08:26 |

| Harde_ | I need help with my new internal drive, it isn't system drive, just for storage | 08:27 |
| alliecat | I feel like I'm walking on eggshells since I upgraded to Hardy with my wireless. Do I have to do a whole clean install to go back to Gutsy? | 08:27 |
| Spudly | Danish989: if you're looking for a really stressful linux experience, do a Gentoo stage 1 install | 08:27 |
| nickrud | alliecat yes | 08:28 |
| Spudly | Danish989: you will marry your ubuntu system after that | 08:28 |
| Danish989 | BoltClock: that makes me feel like im in the matrix or something | 08:28 |
| * Spudly hugs his ubuntu system | 08:28 | |
| BoltClock | Danish989: really? i dunno i never cared about the matrix | 08:28 |
| * Danish989 takes his ubuntu to vegas | 08:28 | |
| * BoltClock follows what Spudly did | 08:28 | |
| Danish989 | BoltClock: I'm just saying, that sounded really cool :p | 08:28 |
| nickrud | Spudly that's nothing, try lfs about 8 years ago, when you had to go find sources on sunsite | 08:28 |
| alliecat | So, my wireless has worked flawlessly through Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy | 08:28 |
| BoltClock | Danish989: lol :) | 08:28 |
| alliecat | using ndiswrapper | 08:28 |
| alliecat | and now that I'm on Hardy, it's awful | 08:29 |
| Spudly | nickrud: we could go back in time to the 70s and make punch cards - point is, it's painful | 08:29 |
| nickrud | alliecat what chip ? | 08:29 |
| nickrud | Spudly did that too | 08:29 |
| === corneliu1_ is now known as c9s | ||
| alliecat | what do you mean? amd64 | 08:29 |
| nickrud | Spudly but you are absolutely correct | 08:30 |

| alliecat | oh | 08:30 |
| alliecat | bcom umm | 08:30 |

| Danish989 | Hey, one quick question: How do I change what the background looks like while I'm rotating my 3D Desktop, switching through workstations? | 08:31 |
| Spudly | Flannel: have you modified your Xorg.conf on Hardy at all?? | 08:31 |
| Spudly | Danish989: do you mean having different background images on different workspaces? | 08:31 |
| nickrud | alliecat I use that exact chip. remove ndiswrapper, and use system->admin->hardware driver. Do it while you are wired up to the net | 08:32 |
| Danish989 | Spudly: Nope, I already got the answer to that (that its not possible) I mean the background to the 3D cubes, you know how its dull and gray with the cubes reflection as default .. | 08:32 |
| alliecat | will it not be an option to use the hardware driver while ndiswrapper is installed? | 08:32 |
| Danish989 | Spudly: The background where the cube rotates? I have no idea how to make this question make sense | 08:32 |
| alliecat | because right now it isn't there | 08:32 |
| nickrud | alliecat you don't want ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers conflicting. | 08:33 |
| alliecat | i can connect wirelessly but it just dies every so often | 08:33 |
| Spudly | Danish989: I found a site that describes how to do it, but it doesn't work (sigh)... re: cubes, have you tried using cube Skydome or anything? | 08:33 |
| Spudly | Danish989: I this i know what you mean | 08:33 |
| alliecat | and it isn't the connection, because it happens on both that i have access to | 08:34 |
| Spudly | Danish989: I think rather | 08:34 |
| Danish989 | spudly: I know right :o( I really wanted that .. oh, and I think the thing I want IS the skydome thingy ... can you just tell me in guidelines what I need to get? | 08:34 |
| EvolElm0 | hey.. just wondering.. ive got a canon 400D does ubuntu support any .raw -> .jpeg (or similar) converters? | 08:35 |
| Spudly | Danish989: wish i could say i knew how - fancy a journey thru the Compiz settings manager? | 08:35 |
| Spudly | Danish989: fyi - my background (when i engage Rotate Cube) goes from Dark (top) to light (bottom) - it's this you want to change, right? | 08:35 |
| Danish989 | spudly: I already looked around the compiz settings manager, and I could change the top and bottom of the cube (with image files) | 08:36 |
| Danish989 | spudly: what I want to change is the dull gray at the complete back of the whole cube | 08:36 |
| Danish989 | spudly: you're right, the dark top and light bottom gradient background | 08:36 |
| EvolElm0 | found the answer to my own question :D rawstudio! | 08:36 |
| alliecat | nickrud: is there any way i can do the switch with ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers offline | 08:36 |
| alliecat | so i don't have to bring my laptop all the way across the house to connect it to the router via a wire | 08:37 |
| Spudly | Danish989: ok - it's not actually the cube itself you want to change (i am being picky, but for a reason) - it's the background behind the cube | 08:37 |
| alliecat | (i want to stay where i am now and if i go back there i'll get enticed into staying back there) | 08:37 |
| Danish989 | spudly: yup | 08:37 |
| Spudly | have a look at the Compiz cube reflection plug-in | 08:37 |
| nickrud | alliecat you have to download some firmware for the card from the net, so you have to be wired to enable the driver I'm talking about | 08:37 |
| Spudly | i've got it enabled and it appears to have settings related to what we're talking about.... and if i make a subtle modification... (drum roll).... | 08:38 |
| alliecat | blech | 08:38 |
| * Spudly changes something in compiz, not knowing whether the world will end | 08:38 | |

| Danish989 | spudly: awesomeness .. but is there anyway I can place an image there instead of a gradient? | 08:38 |
| alliecat | i'll do it while the person i'm trying to avoid is showering :P | 08:38 |
| Rat409 | night all | 08:38 |
| mercuree | Spudly, a gentoo stage 1 install? is that where you install the base the download the tarball and so on? i got as far as trying to install xorg and quit. moved onto ubuntu :P | 08:40 |
| Spudly | Danish989: if i turn off the Cube Reflection plug-in, my background is completely black.... let me have a squizz.... | 08:40 |
| Danish989 | Spudly: Ive seen a lot of videos with people having image files at the back instead of that dull gradient ... I do think it's called a skydome or something of the sort | 08:40 |
| mercuree | i saw someone mention iceweasel just now. looked it up. i want it. im guessing i have to update my apt sources.list? the geticeweasel.org site is rather cryptic. anyone got the sources for me? | 08:41 |
| micahcowan | iceweasel = firefox with different branding | 08:42 |
| Spudly | Danish989: consensus seems to be a skydome image in the cube plug-in | 08:42 |
| micahcowan | and, perhaps, a little more freedom | 08:42 |
| ahsan | deifne more freedom | 08:42 |
| cybera | does anyone use transputty? | 08:42 |
| cybera | or any version/mod of putty 0.60 /w transparecy | 08:42 |
| Danish989 | spudly: aaand? | 08:43 |
| micahcowan | ahsan, well, if you're going to use the official firefox branding, you can't really change the program much (it's brand protection: they don't want to let people hack whatever they want into firefox, and still call it that). | 08:43 |
| Spudly | Danish989: ...that seemed to work for me.... | 08:43 |
| Spudly | Danish989: skydome image | 08:43 |

| peter77 | spudley: why can't we ask you chick questions? | 08:51 |
| micahcowan | Danish989, Metacity is a window-manager (the default one in Ubuntu); I don't know what Emerald is, but I'd hazard a guess it's another wm. | 08:51 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, map?? | 08:51 |
| Danish989 | micahcowan: thanks~ | 08:51 |
| micahcowan | Ah, window decorator for compiz. | 08:51 |
| Spudly | Peter77: hey, if you want my advice i'm happy to share! :) but I can't guarantee you won't get slapped.... | 08:51 |
| Danish989 | micahcowan: yesh | 08:51 |
| Spudly | Danish989: If i knew that, I'd answer you in a jiffy.... isn't Emerald a Window Decorator (?), and Metacity a Window Manager? | 08:52 |
| Danish989 | spudly: what exactly is the difference between those two? :S | 08:52 |
| Spudly | Danish989: .... was hopin you'd be able to answer that old boy! | 08:52 |
| donda | when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error | 08:52 |
| Danish989 | spudly: lol, unfortunately not ... dude, I do love what your ubuntu looks like, what are you using? | 08:53 |
| donda | the error is sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop | 08:53 |
| KyleK | !xen | 08:53 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 08:53 |
| KyleK | heh https | 08:53 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, what do you mean by map? | 08:53 |
| generic | hey how i send prints from JRE | 08:53 |
| generic | any idea? | 08:53 |
| peter77 | Spudley: ok there's this girl I like but she's a sadistic satanist, is she worth asking out? | 08:53 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: in your XP entry, map (hd1) (hd0) then on the next line map (hd0) (hd1), anywhere in the entry (beginning is easiest). Don't change the root, that's independant of mapping | 08:53 |
| Spudly | Danish989: which bit do you like?? | 08:53 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: so, one per line your XP entry is summarized by: title, map, map, root(noverify), chainloader, makeactive, or something similar to that | 08:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, that will make hd1 look like 0 and hd0 look like 1? | 08:54 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: To XP, yeah. | 08:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, will that make the vista on the real hd0 not be able to boot? | 08:54 |
| donda | when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error .the error is sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop | 08:54 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: No, it only affects the menu entry it's in | 08:54 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: (it only gets evaluated when you boot that entry) | 08:54 |
| Spudly | peter77: ask yourself this - is she likely to tear your head from your neck if u say "I'm hanging out with the fellaz tonight dear".... if the answer is yes, then change your address. | 08:55 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, oh sweet | 08:55 |
| Constantino | hi | 08:55 |

| Danish989 | spudly: please be a saint and don't tell me that's the default theme (because it does look like the default theme and im new to ubuntu) | 08:57 |
| khin | that is really annoying | 08:57 |

| legend2440 | donda: check the /etc/hosts file and make sure second line matches /etc/hostname file | 08:58 |
| Danish989 | spudly: thats what I was afraid of .. lol | 08:58 |
| Danish989 | spudly: maybe thats what made me install ubuntu in the first place, how good it looks :D | 08:58 |
| peter77 | the eternal hatred of people who use and own an apple computer | 08:58 |
| Watchbot07 | hi yall | 08:58 |

| Watchbot07 | could someone help me with wireless on 8.04? | 08:59 |
| Spudly | Danish989: well, GNOME (desktop thingy) is very clean - it's quite nice to use | 08:59 |
| Danish989 | peter77: I specially hate all those mac ads where they're brainwashing the viewers | 08:59 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, still there? | 08:59 |
| Danish989 | spudly: yup, it's wonderful | 08:59 |
| Spudly | Danish989: and with all the compiz bells and whistles, i've impressed no less than 5 people with it :) | 08:59 |
| Watchbot07 | i can connect to the router but cant get out to the internet | 08:59 |
| Watchbot07 | any ideas? | 08:59 |
| Danish989 | spudly: I know, right! I've just mastered the technique of cube rotation and I shall make jaws hit the floor tommorow when I show it off to all my friends lol | 08:59 |
| swansk | AT WORK MUST PRINT FILE.....KOREAN CHARACTERS NOT SHOWING UP IN PRINTER OUTPUT | 09:00 |
| swansk | HELP!!! | 09:00 |
| micahcowan | Danish989, what, then 1989 ads? The idea was that the Mac was a revolution against... something. A little ironic... | 09:00 |
| alliecat | ok | 09:00 |
| swansk | I can input Korean characters. | 09:00 |
| aj_ | irc.hqirc.co.uk | 09:00 |
| Flannel | peter77, Spudly, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, or somewhere else. Thanks. | 09:00 |
| swansk | Using OO | 09:00 |
| Spudly | Danish989: henceforth, you will be CubeRotationMan | 09:00 |
| Watchbot07 | anyone? | 09:00 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: Yes | 09:00 |
| Spudly | Flannel: sorry, will stop now | 09:00 |
| alliecat | So, I uninstalled ndiswrapper | 09:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, yes that is correct? | 09:00 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: No. root hd1,0 | 09:00 |
| Danish989 | micahcowan: lol, no, they have some new Mac ads like that too don't they, where this thin actor who's playing a mac is standing next to a fat suit wearing 'pc' | 09:00 |
| Spudly | Danish989: i'm still trying to get some 3D games working, not havin a great deal of success tho | 09:00 |
| swansk | PM me is you have an idea!!! | 09:00 |
| alliecat | Can someone tell me how to get the correct drivers working? | 09:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, oh woops yeah, i changed that but it changed back | 09:01 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: The mapping only happens for the OS it boots to, not GRUB itself | 09:01 |
| * swansk needs help | 09:01 | |
| richardh | \list | 09:01 |
| Danish989 | spudly: cube rotation man it is, to the cube rotation mobile! | 09:01 |
| Flannel | !patience | swansk | 09:01 |
| ubottu | swansk: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 09:01 |
| * swansk can't print Korean characters for some dumb reason | 09:01 | |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, alright but other than hd1,0 everything else right? | 09:01 |
| Flannel | swansk: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu-ko? | 09:01 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: can you get an IP from router? | 09:01 |
| Flannel | ajhtiredwolf: Yep | 09:01 |
| Danish989 | flannel: there's a ubuntu-ko? how kickass is that ... | 09:01 |
| srizz | hello | 09:01 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, thnanks that is really helpful, brb gonna see if it works | 09:01 |
| Watchbot07 | nope | 09:01 |
| Flannel | Danish989: There's LoCo teams all over | 09:01 |
| donda | legend2440:i hav got this names | 09:02 |
| swansk | Flannel thanks for your response. I wasn't trying to be rude. | 09:02 |
| alliecat | seriously, I need help to get my wireless working :( | 09:02 |
| * swansk *shame* | 09:02 | |
| * Danish989 wants his workstations to all have different wallpapers :( | 09:02 | |
| donda | legend2440:# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts | 09:02 |

| * mynetdude has had a brief tout with ubuntu... unfortunately I'm using the 64bit edition... and some things are just not possible | 09:02 | |
| srizz | i've been having trouble upgrading my ubuntu, does anyone mind helping | 09:02 |
| donda | ok | 09:02 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: and in your response, try and use my name (helps people know who you're talking to) | 09:02 |
| checkers | w/part | 09:03 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: unless of course you're talking to everyone, then that's ok :) | 09:03 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: i can see the router in the list and enter the key | 09:03 |
| alliecat | i need some help too. i uninstalled ndiswrapper so the drivers don't conflict, but now i can't seem to get the bcom drivers working | 09:03 |
| alliecat | i guess i should restart | 09:03 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: then it does something but i cant get out | 09:03 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: which key is this? how is your router configured? | 09:03 |
| legend2440 | donda: paste your /etc/hostname file in pastebin | 09:03 |
| legend2440 | !paste | 09:03 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 09:03 |
| srizz | i went to the update manager to update to 7.0 and got an error box | 09:03 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: with wep and the ssid is broadcast | 09:04 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: ah ok - cool. i had to use manual configuration to get my wireless working | 09:04 |
| swansk | #ubuntu-ko has 6 people online and their all sleeping. Not much help. Ubuntuforums.org only has someone vaguely talking about this about Chinese characters but I didn't understand the haphazard work around. For example I don't know how to output in PDF. | 09:04 |
| srizz | im not sure how to correct it | 09:04 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: i got it to work in 7.04 but not 8.04 | 09:04 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: can you see the little network icon (two monitors overlapping) top-right near the time/date? | 09:04 |
| swansk | If I output in PDF where is the file sent to? | 09:05 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: yes | 09:05 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: select that (left mouse but) and select Manual | 09:05 |
| swansk | PMing me with any info is acceptable to me. | 09:05 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ok, thats the list where i can see the router | 09:05 |
| Spudly | ok, select Manual configuration | 09:06 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ok | 09:06 |
| Danish989 | spudly: I just chose an image for the skydome, but it still doesnt show up when I rotate the cube =\ what do you think is wrong? | 09:07 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: you should get a box that says "Netowrk Settings" and you should see a list under "Connections" - the first item in the list is hopefully Wireless | 09:07 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Flannel, thank you so much, it worked. | 09:07 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: yeah its my router | 09:07 |
| kimmey2k3 | any suggestions to GUI for truecrypt? | 09:07 |
| donda | legend2440:ican i change the hostname | 09:07 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: so I assume the SSID is right. click on Unlock, enter your password, then select the Wireless network connection and hit Properties | 09:08 |
| legend2440 | donda: you changed the hostname? | 09:08 |
| Spudly | Danish989: hmmmmm | 09:08 |
| donda | legend2440: no | 09:08 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: i cant see it right now its a dual boot on this machine and im on win | 09:08 |
| swansk | Found something....How do I add all used TrueType Fonts to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4???? | 09:08 |
| Spudly | Danish989: if you have any other settings, do they take effect ? | 09:09 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ive gone into the properties before | 09:09 |
| donda | legend2440: hostname is=pratik-desktop | 09:09 |
| srizz | can someone guide me through installing Ubuntu 8.04 | 09:09 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: cool - didn't want to lose you by assuming | 09:09 |
| swansk | srizz there might be a video online like youtube that will do that | 09:09 |
| srizz | i already downloaded it | 09:09 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ok | 09:09 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ive set my wep key there and have done all the type of connections | 09:10 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: even tried a static ip but no dice | 09:10 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Are ATI cards still big trouble in linux? | 09:10 |
| Spudly | ESSID is correct? Password type is "WEP key (hexadecimal)"? network password is your key (without any dashes)? | 09:10 |
| legend2440 | donda: ok you are missing two lines in the /etc/hosts file first line should be 127.0.0.1localhost and second line from top should be 127.0.1.1 pratik-desktop | 09:11 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: yeah ive done both hex and ascii, my key has spaces, could that be it? | 09:11 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: hearin' ya - goto System menu, then Admin, then System Log | 09:12 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: on the left, choose 'syslog' | 09:12 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: remove any spaces and try again | 09:12 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: i think the key has to be all hex or ascii (no dodgey bits) | 09:13 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ok, it works on win, would underscores be ok here? | 09:14 |
| Spudly | Danish989: did you see my q? | 09:14 |
| Danish989 | spudly: sorry, I stepped out for a while, hold on let me scroll up | 09:14 |
| Danish989 | spudly: what do you mean by other settings? I changed the color of the gradient previously | 09:15 |
| Spudly | Danish989: if you have any other settings, do they take effect immedately? | 09:15 |
| Danish989 | spudly: yes, immediately | 09:15 |
| Spudly | Danish989: i'm going to assume you can open that image normally (is it a jpg? png?) | 09:15 |
| Danish989 | spudly: Ohh, sonovab**** .. lol, I didnt tick on the square to enable skydome *embaressed* | 09:16 |
| Gokee2 | Where is opera? I have spent 10 min trying to figure out where my laptop gets it from! apt-get policy on my laptop says 500 http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Packages. But I can`t get it on my desktop! First I tried copying over "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" (ran apt-get update) but apt-get policy opera still came up empty... So I tried copying my whole sources.list from my laptop running update | 09:16 |
| Gokee2 | but I STILL DONAT GET OPERA!? | 09:16 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: i'd stick with entering it as hex if you can | 09:16 |
| swansk | http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=71249&highlight=korean+asian+printing Same problem here no solution yet. Blaming Ubuntu not OO on the problem. | 09:16 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: so I'm assuming underscores would be OK, but hey, it it barfs again remove the underscore and see if it works without it | 09:16 |
| donda | legend2440:thanks buddy its done | 09:16 |
| Spudly | Danish989: haha | 09:16 |
| Watchbot07 | Spudly: ok, thanks for the help, i need to hit the sack, cya | 09:17 |
| legend2440 | donda: error message gone? | 09:17 |
| Spudly | Danish989: man, I was gonna ask - but I thought..."naaaaah, he's a bright guy" | 09:17 |
| Spudly | Watchbot07: later | 09:17 |
| swansk | I did not have a problem with printing asian characters in Breezy. I believe this is a relatively new issue. | 09:17 |
| Spudly | dang, this on-topic thing is hard... i keep goin to type and then I get the "Flannel-Eye" :P | 09:18 |
| * swansk is worried. Company needs me to print Asian fonts. I don't want to have to wipe Ubuntu and install Windows because of this. | 09:18 | |
| alliecat | Ok, seriously, I've gotten myself into a mess now. | 09:18 |
| bazhang | swansk, breezy is no longer supported; consider getting a more recent version | 09:18 |
| alliecat | I uninstalled ndiswrapper throuth the advic eof someone here | 09:18 |
| bazhang | !eol | swansk | 09:19 |
| ubottu | swansk: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 09:19 |
| swansk | I am using the MOST RECENT version. I was just commenting that Breezy didn't have this problem. | 09:19 |
| alliecat | got b43-fwcutter and bcm43xx-fwcutter | 09:19 |
| alliecat | reinstalled | 09:19 |
| bazhang | swansk, do you have the asian language packs installed? | 09:19 |
| alliecat | and my wireless card is not being recognized at all | 09:19 |
| szonek | hi, i have a problem with playing wav files.. when i play little bigger file (size > 100KB) with: aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav it works fine but when i try to play shorter file, for example info.wav i get nothing ... info.wav isn't silent | 09:19 |
| swansk | as far as I know I do. I can view Korean fonts and INPUT THEM. | 09:19 |
| alliecat | i really need the help of someone who actually knows this wireless stuff | 09:19 |
| Danish989 | spudly: lol, guess i'm just tired (can't think of anything else to blame it on) | 09:19 |
| bazhang | swansk, you only need Korean? | 09:20 |
| swansk | bazhang : right | 09:20 |
| swansk | bazhang : but Chinese it seems is having the same issues. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=71249&highlight=korean+asian+printing | 09:20 |
| bazhang | swansk, what font/language packs? there are separate ones for OO iirc | 09:20 |
| swansk | I am not sure. I'll happily tell you if you tell me where to locate them. | 09:20 |
| Spudly | Danish989: so you're set now.... skydome image and all... | 09:21 |
| bazhang | swansk, what about opening synaptic and searching for korean, or apt-cache search korean and installing all you see | 09:21 |
| Spudly | Flannel: when you say off-topic, does that include jokes about configuration of ubuntu? | 09:21 |
| swansk | ok. I'll try that. To eliminate that possibility. | 09:21 |
| swansk | I'll be right back | 09:22 |
| Danish989 | spudly: yup :) thanks a lot | 09:22 |
| swansk | PMing me is ok | 09:22 |
| Danish989 | spudly: now the only thing bothering me is how to have a different wallpaper for different workstation .. | 09:22 |
| alliecat | how do you de-blacklist something | 09:22 |
| Spudly | Danish989: workspace? | 09:22 |
| alliecat | that's probably the best question | 09:22 |
| Danish989 | spudly: yes, workspace, sorry | 09:22 |

| Dusti[n] | sorry | 09:23 |
| Danish989 | spudly: did it have anything to do with compiling and then running? | 09:23 |
| Spudly | Danish989: no, just setting an option in gconf-editor for Nautilis | 09:23 |
| Spudly | Danish989: telling Nauty not to 'show-desktop' | 09:24 |
| Danish989 | spudly: I've so far heard of 'wallpaper-tray' 'drape' and 'wallpapoz' as applications that can do what we need | 09:24 |
| Danish989 | spudly: but according to nickruds, they all suck | 09:24 |
| * Spudly looks at nickruds | 09:24 | |
| Danish989 | lol | 09:24 |
| Spudly | nickrud: is this true? | 09:24 |
| bazhang | Spudly, wallpaper-tray would be what you want; wallpapoz is no longer under development iirc | 09:24 |
| swansk | bazhang : I am worried I will end up changing my system to Korean menus and such by installing so many KO packages :) :) | 09:24 |
| nickrud | Danish989 Spudly could you take this to a pm or another room, you're drowning out everyone else (and yes, I think they all suck) | 09:25 |
| Spudly | alrighty, time to cook dinner for the wifey | 09:25 |

| ishmael^ | hi could someone help me changing my mac address? | 09:48 |
| ishmael^ | ive read the forums | 09:48 |
| ikonia | ishmael^: why do you want to change your mac address | 09:49 |
| bXi | why would you want to change it? | 09:49 |
| ishmael^ | and the way inserting a line in /etc/network/interfaces | 09:49 |
| ishmael^ | does not work | 09:49 |
| ikonia | ishmael^: that can have reasonable complications | 09:49 |
| hfmls | sorry, what ? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | ishmael^: doesn't work ?? your mac address ?? how does it "not work" | 09:49 |
| ishmael^ | coz of my isp | 09:49 |
| ikonia | ishmael^: please explain | 09:49 |
| hfmls | bXi, how do i do it? | 09:49 |
| bXi | hfmls: open a terminal and type glxgears | 09:49 |
| ishmael^ | my isp desires a certain mac | 09:50 |
| hfmls | nothing happens | 09:50 |
| bXi | hfmls: then i think 3d isnt working | 09:50 |
| hfmls | glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:50 |

| ikonia | ishmael^: they contact your ISP and tell them your using a different mac address | 09:50 |
| ishmael^ | but i dont want to | 09:50 |
| ikonia | bXi: some ISP's do tie broadband connections to specific mac addresses, it's not uncommon | 09:50 |
| ishmael^ | i know there are ways to override it | 09:51 |
| bXi | ikonia: yeah but wouldnt the ISP supply a modem with a known mac address? | 09:51 |
| Kinch | is there anywhere on this server I could go to share my art made solely on ubuntu? | 09:51 |

| Sinnerman | hi i was using a mist theme, and to make the panel menu size smaller, i was using gtk-icon-sizes="panel-menu=12,12" in .gtkrc. however with murrine, which i now want to use, that does not seem to work, i've tried modifying the theme file itself, to no avail, and i have tried making a .gtkrc-2.0 file in my $HOME, to no avail either. how can i solve this? i basically want to make the menus from the panel stretch half the lenght of the screen rather tha | 09:51 |
| Sinnerman | n the whole lot. | 09:51 |
| ikonia | Kinch: #ubuntu-artwork | 09:51 |
| KyleK | haha | 09:51 |

| KyleK | well | 09:52 |

| hfmls | ikonia, do u know where i can find it ? where can i get the latest P4M900 VIA Chrome9 driver? | 10:02 |
| zethero1 | anyone here with experience in configuring a network? | 10:02 |
| xnv | michael__: You definitely can. | 10:02 |
| michael__ | zetherol | 10:02 |
| zethero1 | I asked already above..... :) | 10:02 |
| michael__ | what's your problem | 10:02 |
| ikonia | hfmls: well, you'd either need to look in via for an xorg driver, or the xorg cvs repo | 10:02 |
| hfmls | i installed one that works ok.but still i dont have 3d.. via has support for ubuntu 3d now. | 10:02 |
| ikonia | zethero1: many people, ask the question | 10:02 |
| afallenhope | is there an scp GUI version? | 10:03 |
| michael__ | xnv,how can i chang the uid? | 10:03 |
| xnv | michael__: The usermod command is one option, but I don't know if it'd screw things up in the rest of Ubuntu. | 10:03 |
| ikonia | zethero1: if someone didn't see the question saying "anyone" won't tell them what the question is, if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know it | 10:03 |
| zethero1 | I would like to assign static ip addresses to the computers on the network.... | 10:03 |
| ikonia | hfmls: whos says via has 3d support ? | 10:03 |
| ikonia | zethero1: ok, I assume they are running ubuntu ? | 10:03 |
| chori | I'm having problems with my xorg/fglrx config geting a fatal error and a backtrace. Google suggest it might be a bug in glibc and that recompiling libpixman with gcc 4.1 solves the problem. But how to compile? Anyone? | 10:03 |
| hfmls | well they released drivers 2 weeks ago for via | 10:03 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: yes | 10:03 |
| hfmls | 3d | 10:03 |
| erin | <zethero1> I would like to assign static ip addresses to the computers on the network... <-- sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 etc | 10:04 |
| ikonia | zethero1: ok, so open system --> administration -> network gui | 10:04 |
| michael__ | xnv, you are right, thank you | 10:04 |
| ikonia | hfmls: who did ? | 10:04 |
| ikonia | hfmls: who released these drivers ? | 10:04 |
| michael__ | zethorol, you can edit /etc/network/interfaces | 10:04 |
| hfmls | via | 10:04 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: network settings? | 10:04 |
| ikonia | hfmls: who said these drivers have 3d support | 10:04 |
| michael__ | and that files will keep your configs | 10:05 |
| ikonia | hfmls: so you'll need to get the drivers from via then | 10:05 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: by the way 3 are on wireless and one on wired | 10:05 |
| ikonia | zethero1: thats fine | 10:05 |
| kenny | dpkg problem make me cannot update my ubuntu | 10:05 |
| ikonia | zethero1: they are still just network interfaces | 10:05 |
| hfmls | i had the lkink in windows, googlint it, 1 mnt | 10:05 |
| zethero1 | ikonia:yep | 10:05 |
| ikonia | zethero1: just open the gui I told you, and assign IP addresses to the network you want | 10:05 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: I just don't know what to put in Gateway address | 10:06 |
| ikonia | zethero1: what is your network gateway ? | 10:06 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: I think the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 | 10:06 |
| ikonia | zethero1: ok, | 10:06 |
| michael__ | X,X,X,1 | 10:06 |
| michael__ | mosttime | 10:06 |
| ikonia | zethero1: you need to speak to the person who runs your network | 10:06 |
| michael__ | you need to ask your network administrator | 10:06 |
| ikonia | zethero1: ask him what the gateway for your network is | 10:06 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: I dunno what the gateway is ... I thought it was 192.168.1.1 | 10:07 |
| ikonia | zethero1: ask you network administrator | 10:07 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: I run the network :) | 10:07 |
| zethero1 | ha | 10:07 |
| ikonia | zethero1: come on..... | 10:07 |
| ikonia | zethero1: is this a home network ? | 10:07 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: yes | 10:07 |
| ikonia | zethero1: right, so your gateway will mostlikley be your broad band router | 10:07 |
| kenny | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. <---i having this problem until cannot update my ubuntu. | 10:07 |
| hfmls | Tux Racer, Divx, Xvid, DVD, e até o Compiz (desktop 3D) funcionou! (após algumas configurações). | 10:07 |
| erin | if its your home network, why isnt DHCP set up? | 10:07 |
| hfmls | quoting | 10:07 |
| jeroin | hello? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | zethero1: be aware that a lot of routers won't allow use as a gateway unless they give the IP address out by DHCP | 10:07 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: DHCP is enabled | 10:08 |
| hfmls | http://linux.via.com.tw | 10:08 |
| erin | ... | 10:08 |
| ikonia | zethero1: so why are you assigning static IP's | 10:08 |
| hfmls | ikonia, http://linux.via.com.tw | 10:08 |
| michael__ | hehe | 10:08 |
| ikonia | hfmls: why are you telling me this ? | 10:08 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: I thought my gateway was 192.168.1.1 but it does not seem to work | 10:08 |
| michael__ | ikonia,good question | 10:08 |
| ikonia | zethero1: maybe because your router won't allow use as a gateway UNLESS it gives out an ip address via dhcp | 10:08 |
| erin | zetherol: tell it to get an IP address automatically, setting up static IP's in your situation is pointless | 10:08 |
| ikonia | zethero1: thats not uncommon for home routers | 10:09 |
| jeroin | hello? is this readable? | 10:09 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: becasue I setup apt-cacher to connect to 192.168.1.4 ... but if the ip addresses keep changeing then we are in trouble | 10:09 |
| ikonia | jeroin: yes | 10:09 |
| hfmls | ikonia, a guy said it used drivers for P4M900 VIA Chrome9 from that site: http://linux.via.com.tw but when i go there i can't find P4M900, what do u think i should use ? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | zethero1: use a hostname for apt-cacher | 10:09 |

| jeroin | Lets say i have Ubuntu 8.04 and need a VM to run FreeBSD 7 with heavy I/O on Areca, should I use KVM or Xen then? What howto should I use I found one for Xen on the official Ubuntu page but its for earlier Ubuntu versions | 10:09 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: all the computers on the network connect to 192.168.1.4 .... can I change it to make them all connect to the name of my pc? | 10:10 |
| hfmls | ok | 10:10 |
| ikonia | jeroin: I'm a firm believer in kvm personally | 10:10 |
| ikonia | zethero1: sure | 10:10 |

| ikonia | jeroin: https://help.ubuntu.com search for "kvm" | 10:10 |
| ikonia | zethero1: why ? | 10:11 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: well... I dunno how to make it point to my pc... | 10:11 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: how to I find my hostname? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | zethero1: change the IP address to the name of your PC | 10:11 |
| ikonia | zethero1: "hostname" is the command, and you set it up when you installed ubuntu | 10:11 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: hostname in the terminal | 10:12 |
| ikonia | zethero1: yup | 10:12 |
| zethero1 | ok.... will try it | 10:12 |
| ikonia | zethero1: see if you can ping it first, to see if your router is acting as a resolver for you | 10:12 |
| legend2440 | kenny: what were you doing when you first got that error message? an update or installing software? | 10:12 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: oh ... how do I do that? | 10:12 |
| jeroin | ikonia: i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM but its community document, and i don't know for which Ubuntu version... it doesn't state that... | 10:12 |

| zethero1 | ikonia: I am on my PC..... | 10:15 |
| ikonia | zethero1: well, you need to ping it from a remote machine | 10:15 |
| jeroin | ikonia: OK can you maybe add that its for 8.04 or make this clear for the reader or tell me how i should have known? | 10:15 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: ok... from another machine on the network | 10:15 |
| kenny | sorry...it's install updated | 10:15 |
| Flynsarmy | If i share my M drive (an NTFS drive) will it become un-shared every time i reboot ubuntu? That seems to have been what happened | 10:15 |
| kenny | not updated | 10:15 |
| ikonia | jeroin: it's not actually for 8.04 specificly, it's a living document, but as 8.04 is current and the previous version was "fesity" - it can only be 8.04 as there is nothing after fesity thats not 8.04 | 10:16 |
| ikonia | jeroin: ahh I see, it could have been gutsy | 10:17 |
| ikonia | jeroin: I'll look at re-wording the intro | 10:17 |

| TMPSAP | making my wireless work in ubuntu | 10:18 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: from another computer it says unknown host | 10:18 |
| TMPSAP | ikonia, yeah sort of how do you make D-Link DWL-G510 work in ubuntu (wireless)? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | zethero1: ok, so your router isn't acting as a dns host, | 10:18 |
| ikonia | TMPSAP: is it visable in the network gui ? | 10:18 |
| legend2440 | kenny: lets try it again in terminal type sudo dpkg --configure -a then when thats done type sudo apt-get clean | 10:19 |
| TMPSAP | ikonia: it was yesterday then it just vanished, apparently I have to compile my own drivers, but im getting tons of errors | 10:19 |
| ikonia | zethero1: login to your router and assign the mac address of your PC to a static IP, so that the PC is still served up by DHCP, however that 1 PC will get a static IP | 10:19 |

| ikonia | TMPSAP: first line of the guide "These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 6.10" | 10:20 |
| ikonia | TMPSAP: are you using 6.10 ? | 10:20 |
| Mercuree | is there a package manager for ubuntu that can pause and resume getting a file? ive only used apt-get so far and am happy with it but would like this feature | 10:21 |
| Mercuree | i dont really like synaptic. not sure if it supports this or not | 10:21 |
| TMPSAP | ikonia no, 8.04 | 10:21 |
| TMPSAP | ikonia, are you telling me theres a HUGE diff between gutsy vs hardy in terms of general compiling? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | TMPSAP: 6.10 it's gutsy | 10:22 |
| ikonia | TMPSAP: 6.10 isn't gutsy | 10:22 |
| Flynsarmy | is there a single package in apt that installs large numbers of codecs the way build-essential does for compiling? | 10:22 |
| TMPSAP | what? 6.10 is gutsy and its not? | 10:22 |
| zethero1 | ikonia: I have the DSL-2640U Router/ADSL modem...... and its very different to other Netgear and Dlink units in the layout and wording of things..... so I am confused | 10:22 |
| Mercuree | zethero1, do you not have a manual for the router? | 10:23 |
| TMPSAP | ikonia: well okay, do you have a better guide? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | TMPSAP: 6.10 = October 2006 release - 8.04 = april 2008 release, do think there is no difference | 10:23 |

| TMPSAP | <TMPSAP> ikonia, are you telling me theres a HUGE diff between gutsy vs hardy in terms of general compiling? | 10:23 |

| ikonia | TMPSAP: how does gutsy have anything to do with this | 10:23 |
| zethero1 | Mercuree: in the router.,,, there is an area in the Home section called LAN | 10:24 |
| TMPSAP | my misstake | 10:24 |
| zethero1 | but there is nothing much in there | 10:24 |

| zethero1 | ikonia: does Dynamic DNS sound right? | 10:27 |

| PupUser | Almindor: last time i checked no.. so i switched to sunXVM | 11:22 |
| Almindor | sucks | 11:22 |

| zethero1 | how do I find my gateway in Ubuntu? | 11:24 |
| Almindor | zethero1, you mean you have a gateway but don't know it's ip? | 11:25 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: yep | 11:25 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: there is a Broadcast Address ... but no Gateway!? | 11:26 |
| Almindor | zethero1, "gateway" is a machine, it's a computer/router which provides NAT or such, you have to get it's IP address and set it | 11:26 |
| Almindor | I don't know of an "auto-find-gateway" tho there might be some obscure protocol | 11:27 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: well to get into my router I go through 192.168.1.1 | 11:27 |
| Almindor | a safe bet is, if you know your own IP, that it's the network's first one, eg: if you're on 234.234.234.22 then it's probably 234.234.234.1 | 11:27 |
| Almindor | zethero1, that'd be your gateway then | 11:28 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: ok.... but when I manually point a computer to that as the Gateway it fails to connect.... | 11:28 |
| Almindor | zethero1, your ip is 192.168.1.somethign right? | 11:28 |
| zethero1 | mine is 192.168.1.5 | 11:28 |
| Almindor | zethero1, yeah that computes.. tey to ping 1.1 | 11:29 |
| Almindor | *try | 11:29 |
| Almindor | zethero1, if ping works, you need to set DNS too | 11:29 |
| Sinnerman | i fixed that murrine thing, by the way, it turns out there were two entries in its .gtkrc-2.0 file for gtk-icon-sizes (for two different items albeit), and that was preventing things from being read correctly. once it hit the second line, the other values defaulted. | 11:29 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: pinging works.... how do I stop it? | 11:29 |
| Almindor | zethero1, DNS can be either the same as your gateway, or some obscure number really | 11:29 |
| Almindor | zethero1, ctrl+c | 11:29 |
| zethero1 | ok | 11:29 |
| Almindor | zethero1, try to set DNS (the other tab in net settings) to the same ip | 11:30 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: configure DNS in my router? | 11:30 |
| gaminggeek | anyone here with a inspiron 1525 with sound working correctly? | 11:30 |
| Almindor | zethero1, what's your router doing? NAT for a cable connection or such? | 11:30 |
| Almindor | zethero1, if so, you need to set your provider's DNS on your ubuntu machine | 11:30 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: NAT is enabled ... DHCP is disabled | 11:30 |
| Almindor | zethero1, eg: in my case I got an old P120 as NAT router for 192.168.0.x network (home net), and 192.168.0.1 is the router's ip (so the gateway), but DNS is given to me by my ISP | 11:31 |
| Almindor | zethero1, so, I set gateway to the router's internal lan ip address and DNS to the provider's DNS one (on the end-user machine) | 11:32 |
| amantiglio | hi | 11:32 |
| Almindor | zethero1, there are other ways to do this but this one's simplest | 11:32 |
| Almindor | zethero1, I also use static IPs like you so it's virtually same setting I think (just different ip) | 11:32 |
| amantiglio | where can i download firefox3 deb for gutsy? | 11:32 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: ok... maybe I should tell you the whole story ... | 11:32 |

| zethero1 | Almindor: I recently setup apt-cacher so that all the computers running Ubuntu on the network would connect to my machine (1.4 at the time) to get updates. This was all fina and dandy until I noticed the computers taking on different IP addresses and thereby screwing with the whole setup..... so now I am looking to setup (at least my computer) with a static IP address.,.... | 11:35 |
| Flannel | murlidhar: yes you can, the folders name is .whatever, just cd .whatever | 11:35 |
| Almindor | zethero1, ok, but that doesn't really change anything about what I said about DNS :) | 11:35 |
| Almindor | zethero1, as for your local machine, if you set the apt-source via IP (not host) you don't need to have a DNS entry for the router itself | 11:35 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: with previous routers I had an easy time getting around and configuring all this ... but on this particular router I am pulling my hair out | 11:36 |
| Almindor | zethero1, the router provides inernet connection right? | 11:36 |
| Almindor | zethero1, so you have 2 problems, no updates and no internet/DNS | 11:36 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: I tried setting up using my hostname instead of ip address but the other computers were not pinging to my hostname for some odd reason | 11:37 |
| murlidhar | Flannel, thanks it wasn't autocompleting it , so i thought may it does work that way | 11:37 |
| Flannel | amantiglio: It will be in gutsy-backports eventually | 11:37 |
| Almindor | zethero1, they don't know the name, unless you change /etc/hosts.conf, try pinging 72.14.207.99 | 11:37 |
| poisonkiller | why cant i access ubuntu forums? it gives me this error: Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise. | 11:37 |
| murlidhar | Flannel, thanks again | 11:37 |
| Almindor | zethero1, if you can ping that IP (with the gateway set to your router) you're online, but with no DNS | 11:37 |
| Flannel | murlidhar: it should tabcomplete, just make sure you have the . | 11:37 |
| Flannel | poisonkiller: #ubuntuforums | 11:37 |
| murlidhar | k | 11:37 |
| amantiglio | Flannel ..the release final? | 11:37 |
| murlidhar | cya guys | 11:37 |
| Almindor | zethero1, you could set up DNS server on the router, but I have no exp. with those | 11:38 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: pinging worked | 11:38 |
| Flannel | amantiglio: It should be, yes. Right now its beta4 in backports (and alpha8 in regular) | 11:38 |
| Almindor | zethero1, yeah, basically what you're missing is setting the DNS on each host to your provider's DNS | 11:38 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: how can I get the computers to ping the hostname? | 11:38 |
| amantiglio | Flannel...when will be the final? | 11:38 |
| Almindor | zethero1, add the entry to /etc/hosts.conf eg: "ROUTER 192.168.1.1" | 11:39 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: or can I just assign IP addresses to Mac addresses? | 11:39 |
| lusius | ey,, i need to convert a line from normal hex, to text, by console, can this be done? | 11:39 |
| amantiglio | now there is the b4 in synaptic? | 11:39 |
| Flannel | amantiglio: I don't know. Whenever the backports team gets around to it. Hardy already has final. | 11:39 |
| Almindor | zethero1, err /etc/hosts I mean | 11:39 |
| Almindor | for example mine is: 127.0.0.1 localhost | 11:39 |
| Almindor | 127.0.1.1 XERXES | 11:39 |
| Almindor | 192.168.0.1 LAMER | 11:39 |
| Almindor | 192.168.0.3 SHODAN | 11:39 |
| Flannel | amantiglio: its in gutsy-backports, yes. Which isn't enabled by default | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | !paste | 11:39 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 11:39 |
| Almindor | come on, 4 lines | 11:40 |
| amantiglio | Flannel thanks... | 11:40 |
| amantiglio | :) | 11:40 |
| Almindor | zethero1, LAMER is the router :) | 11:40 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: LAMER? | 11:40 |
| Almindor | zethero1, but you still need to set the provider's DNS in order to get proper hostname recognition for internet names | 11:40 |
| Almindor | zethero1, same goes for router's DNS | 11:41 |
| Almindor | zethero1, it's a P120, how would you call it? :) | 11:41 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: ha | 11:41 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: can I change the IP address of my machine back to 1.4? | 11:41 |
| Almindor | zethero1, what do you mean 1.4? | 11:42 |
| Almindor | zethero1, 192.168.1.4? | 11:42 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: back to 192.168.1.4 | 11:42 |
| Almindor | zethero1, sure, but each machine in the LAN has to have a unique IP | 11:42 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: yes | 11:42 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: I don;t undestand what I am seeing in this /etc/hosts file | 11:43 |
| Vixus | Hi, is there anything I can use to add files to an ISO? | 11:43 |
| Vixus | On Windows I used to do it with Winrar. | 11:43 |
| Almindor | zethero1, "hostname IP.IP.IP.IP" pairs | 11:44 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: 127.0.0.1localhost | 11:44 |
| zethero1 | 127.0.1.1zeth-ubuntu | 11:44 |
| Almindor | zethero1, right.. inverted :) | 11:44 |
| atle|f | Vixus: maby maniso | 11:44 |
| Vixus | ok | 11:44 |
| Almindor | zethero1, add 192.168.1.1 router to get a "router" hostname recognition | 11:44 |
| atle|f | *maybe | 11:44 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: whats 127.0.0.1? | 11:44 |
| Almindor | zethero1, or whater hostname you wish, you can have more to one ip | 11:44 |
| Almindor | zethero1, localhost | 11:44 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: and why does it say my machine is 127.0.1.1? | 11:45 |
| Almindor | zethero1, each machine is 127.0.0.1, it's a loop address :) | 11:45 |
| WalloO | 127.0.0.1 = yourself | 11:45 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | the whole 127.0.0.0 block is loopback | 11:45 |
| Almindor | zethero1, google for localhost | 11:45 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Does anyone know if there is a way to see which, if any audio/video decoders my version of ubuntu is recognising? | 11:45 |
| Almindor | zethero1, the /etc/hosts file is just a sort of "manual DNS", you just specify hostnames for IPs you need but are not in DNS servers | 11:46 |
| WalloO | Seras_Ubuntu, don'T think so, since there are libs used by several soft, and some soft with their own codec like vlc | 11:46 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: so if I am on a machine with an ip address of 192.168.1.2 and I want it to ping zeth-ubuntu (192.168.1.4) I would ..... do this in the file: 192.168.1.4zeth-ubuntu | 11:47 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Well, I've spent days installing all sorts of decoders/codecs. And I still can't get it to play even an Mp3. So I'm wanting to see where I stand. | 11:48 |
| Almindor | zethero1, exactly | 11:48 |
| WalloO | Seras_Ubuntu, if you open a mp3 with the media player, it will propose you to install it. | 11:48 |
| atle|f | Seras_Ubuntu: did you install ubuntu/restricted/extras | 11:48 |
| Flannel | Seras_Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-7dc8d31ff5c7ccda3d326c0c17763853d296dc07 | 11:48 |
| WalloO | Seras_Ubuntu, which player do you use? | 11:49 |
| itai-michaelson | . | 11:49 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Right now, just the 'Movie player' that came with 6.06 (the version I'm running.) | 11:49 |
| itai-michaelson | question: after firefox 3 came out, if i download hardy now will it have the beta still? | 11:50 |
| Flannel | Seras_Ubuntu: Ah! You're on dapper. That changes some things. Were you aware that theres a new LTS version you can upgrade to? | 11:50 |
| Flannel | Seras_Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-99259e1841e1e1262f4f71e0c72d5a51b3fb69e9 is the instructions for Dapper | 11:50 |
| WalloO | itai-michaelson, no it will be the last version, even if it's writtent rc3 | 11:50 |
| WalloO | since rc3 and the release are the same | 11:51 |
| Flannel | itai-michaelson: No, the ISO will still have the old stuff, but 8.04.1 is coming out early next month, which will include updated packages | 11:51 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | I'm on 6.06 LTS. Actually. | 11:51 |
| atle|f | itai-michaelson: there are daily builds | 11:51 |
| Flannel | Seras_Ubuntu: yes, that's dapper. And that last link is instructions for it | 11:51 |
| itai-michaelson | mmm... i get conflicting answers... | 11:52 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Oh, alright. I'll read that. :P | 11:52 |
| itai-michaelson | is firefox 3 in the repos for hardy? | 11:52 |
| Flannel | Seras_Ubuntu: If you just want the mp3 stuff, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3#head-929f2f9a41824e3726860dc6f810e303e1a074ae | 11:52 |
| Flannel | itai-michaelson: yes | 11:52 |
| atle|f | itai-michaelson: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ | 11:52 |
| HardDisk | itai-michaelson, yes. | 11:52 |
| itai-michaelson | Flannel- so if i still get the beta i can just update i suppose,,,, | 11:52 |
| Flannel | itai-michaelson: the Hardy ISO is identical to the day it was created. FF3 (final) is in the repos, and you'll get it with your first batch of updates. Or if you need it on the CD, you can either use daily CDs, or wait until 8.04.1 comes out at the beginning of July | 11:53 |
| db92 | what can i do to improve the playback quality of videos? the quality here is ****(insert profane word here) | 11:53 |
| itai-michaelson | Flannel, very clear answer - thanks! | 11:54 |
| WalloO | Seras_Ubuntu, just upgrade to 8.04. However, I recommend ytou to re-install on a empty hard drive instead of using any upgrade process. | 11:54 |
| hfmls | guys | 11:54 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Yeah? I dont' mind reinstalling at all. I just had the 6.06 LTS Disc. I'm sort of new to linux, so I bought a book! | 11:54 |
| hfmls | installed emerald | 11:54 |
| hfmls | how do i aplly themes now ? | 11:54 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Which, hasn't proved very helpful. >.> | 11:54 |
| itai-michaelson | any chance of firefox3 making it to gutsy repos? | 11:55 |
| WalloO | hfmls, for me, with hardy, emerald doesn't work for an unknown reason. Instead, I instal metacity themes, and it works | 11:55 |
| Dillizar | db92: i think you cant do anyting about it ! | 11:55 |
| Flannel | Seras_Ubuntu: Ubuntu has come a long way since 6.06, it's a lot more friendly, and you can upgrade from 6.06 straight to 8.04. Or theres always reinstall, of course. | 11:55 |
| chalcedony | how can i unzip something called helpfiles.zip ? | 11:55 |
| jrib | chalcedony: unzip helpfiles.zip (or just double click on it) | 11:56 |
| Flannel | itai-michaelson: alpha7 or something was shipped with it, beta3 is in backports currently, and final should be making its way to backports eventually. I have no idea on timeframe though. Depends on the maintainer | 11:56 |
| Metatron^ | whats the right syntax for apt-cdrom | 11:56 |
| atle|f | chalcedony: you have an archive manager installed | 11:56 |
| WalloO | hfmls, go here for some theme: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=101&PHPSESSID=dbffcee6a07cdef0f85a886903c0f173 | 11:56 |
| amikrop | Hello. So, let me understand how Ubuntu handles software updates/upgrades/new-releases. For example, Wine 1.0 will be in the repos, only in Intrepid? And never in Hardy? (Wine 1.0 has been released on June 17, and now, in Hardy's repos, there is Wine 0.9.59.) | 11:56 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Well, -nothing- is on this HDD, all my files are on an external drive so I may as well just do a fresh install. | 11:56 |
| WalloO | hm | 11:56 |
| hfmls | WalloO, but after i had the theme to emerald | 11:56 |
| hfmls | what should i do | 11:57 |
| itai-michaelson | Flannel, thanks... | 11:57 |
| Flannel | Metatron^: `sudo apt-cdrom add` but, if you installed from the alternate CD, the CD should already be in your sources.list, so you won't need to do that. | 11:57 |
| Flannel | amikrop: It'll be in hardy-backports | 11:57 |
| Dillizar | db92: cuz if it was posible i will download all the movies for 200mb and make them DVDs :D | 11:57 |
| atle|f | amikrop: it will be updated | 11:57 |
| Flannel | amikrop: but not everything is put into backports | 11:57 |
| amikrop | Flannel: Just backports? Not the "main" repos? | 11:57 |
| chalcedony | i prefer command line | 11:57 |
| Metatron^ | that did it, i took the source out at one point, thnx | 11:57 |
| Flannel | amikrop: correct | 11:57 |
| amikrop | atle|f: Where? At "normal" repos? | 11:57 |
| mgolisch | amikrop: no why would it? | 11:58 |
| amikrop | Flannel: Why? | 11:58 |
| mgolisch | cause it would break other stuff? | 11:58 |
| mgolisch | all packages stay at the version they where introduced in that release | 11:58 |
| atle|f | amikrop: it WILL be updated later | 11:58 |
| WalloO | hfmls, usually, after puting your theme in emerald, clicking on the theme displayed should enable it. For me, with hardy, it doesn't work, it's why I recommand using metacity theme, and install it using "appearance" soft. | 11:58 |
| Flannel | amikrop: Because versions of things are frozen per release. Only bugfixes/security updates get put into Ubuntu afterwards | 11:58 |
| chalcedony | wow now i have lots of *things* | 11:58 |
| amikrop | Flannel: But not new features? | 11:59 |
| mgolisch | to ensure compatibility with other packages | 11:59 |
| the_eraser | hi anyone know a command to see which font the console is using? :-) | 11:59 |
| mgolisch | amikrop: no only in abckports maybe | 11:59 |
| atle|f | amikrop: or get wine-doors | 11:59 |
| Flannel | amikrop: correct. They'll get put into the next release (and on some packages, put into -backports) | 11:59 |
| amikrop | I see. OK. Thanks, guys. | 11:59 |
| Flannel | amikrop: in fact, the guy responsible just asked for a backports sync for wine 1 a few hours ago | 11:59 |
| the_eraser | anyone into fonts? | 11:59 |
| hfmls | are they good as emerald? WalloO ? i liked this theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Soft+%26+Clear?content=66575 | 12:00 |
| amikrop | Flannel: ;) | 12:00 |
| WalloO | hfmls, unfortunately, it seems there are less good theme than for emerald. | 12:00 |
| ninjabuntu | the_eraser: I like fonts and all but mostly for art work... why? | 12:00 |
| hfmls | damn | 12:00 |
| hfmls | why cant this work? | 12:00 |
| hfmls | i have 8.04 | 12:01 |
| hfmls | and u | 12:01 |
| Flannel | amikrop: But, on another note, the wine people do a good job of maintaining their own Ubuntu repository. That's definately a viable route | 12:01 |
| the_eraser | ninjabuntu: ok do you know how to check which font the console is using? :-) | 12:01 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | One thing I will say. I had a HDD that completely went dead on my Windows machine. Put it in an external enclosure. Windows still wouldn't read it. Plugged it into Linux to format it. Popped up like a charm! <3 | 12:01 |
| Dillizar | hfmls: do ya know how to install the themes | 12:01 |
| kripz | how to delete all files ending with .db? rm -R *.db? | 12:02 |
| ninjabuntu | the_eraser: no, sorry buddy I'm pretty much a 2 week newbie... really wish i could help... | 12:02 |
| hfmls | no | 12:02 |
| hfmls | i just add them to emeral | 12:02 |
| hfmls | then i dont know what to do | 12:02 |
| Micheleee | hello | 12:02 |
| WalloO | hfmls, I don't know, it worked perfectly for me with 7.10 and with 8.04, it doesn't work. ho yes, one time, the theme appeared but never after... So I don't know. Maybe there are to theme managers fighting, and emerald loose most of the time. | 12:02 |
| Dillizar | ok hfmls | 12:02 |
| Flannel | kripz: assuming none of them are hidden, yes. | 12:02 |
| atle|f | the_eraser: try profiles in the terminal window | 12:02 |
| Dillizar | where are the themes saved hfmls | 12:03 |
| the_eraser | ninjabuntu: ok np :) | 12:03 |
| the_eraser | atle|f: oki | 12:03 |
| Micheleee | i have a problem with adesklets... when i start it, it close automatically...is it a known problem??? | 12:03 |
| WalloO | hfmls, usualy, you have to run compiz with an option like compiz-real --replace emerald and then it may work | 12:03 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, use screenlet, it works well | 12:03 |
| Micheleee | ok.. | 12:03 |
| Dillizar | WalloO: he doesnt know how to install them what so ever | 12:03 |
| Micheleee | thanks WalloO | 12:03 |
| Dillizar | :P | 12:04 |
| hfmls | To get emerald working, install the compizconfig-settings-manager package. Then go to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, scroll down to the Window Decorator plugin and change the command field to emerald --replace. | 12:04 |
| WalloO | Dillizar, he seems to say it's in emerald theme manager, but don't know how to enable it. That's my understanding | 12:04 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: it just dawned on me that using hostnames instead of ip addresses with apt-cacher is not going to do any good anyhow | 12:04 |
| Dillizar | lol | 12:04 |
| Dillizar | WalloO: mine was that he has a new theme and dont know how to install it :D who knows | 12:05 |
| zethero1 | Almindor: I wish I could just assign my mac address to an ip address .... | 12:05 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, once you install screenlets, you can give a try to my system monitor screenlet: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960 | 12:05 |
| gordonjcp | zethero1: dhcp? | 12:05 |
| Micheleee | yes sure | 12:05 |
| Dillizar | hfmls: What do ya wanna do | 12:05 |
| heorshe | hi | 12:05 |
| zethero1 | gordonjcp: dhcp is disabled... | 12:05 |
| Dillizar | hi | 12:05 |
| zethero1 | gordonjcp: why? | 12:06 |
| Gallez | i've noticed that the ubuntu version of azureus downloads files a few times slower than the windows version. the configuration is the same in both versions. anyone know a possible explanation for that? | 12:06 |
| ovidiu | hi, I have a question: in Windows XP I was able to do something like this: 1. On the monitor to do that: http://home.roxe-multimedia.mobi/ovidiu/example.png 2. On the TV to see that: http://home.roxe-multimedia.mobi/ovidiu/example1.png | 12:06 |
| gordonjcp | zethero1: dhcp will assign IP addresses by MAC address | 12:06 |
| hfmls | emerald --replace. didnt work | 12:06 |
| Micheleee | nice... complete infos... | 12:06 |
| ovidiu | it is possible to do this in Ubuntu? | 12:06 |
| Micheleee | i'll try to install it | 12:06 |
| db92 | what can i do to improve the playback quality of videos? | 12:06 |
| zethero1 | gordonjcp: can I manually pair a mac address to an ip address for good? | 12:06 |
| atle|f | hfmls: did you restart x | 12:07 |
| zethero1 | gordonjcp: I mean ... I know I can becasue I did it on other routers... but this router is such a pain | 12:07 |
| atle|f | hfmls: ctrl alt backspace | 12:07 |
| Micheleee | can i use desklets application with screenlets? | 12:07 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, I don't think soo, but you have good applications for screenlets. I prefer screenlet | 12:09 |
| Micheleee | ok thanks for your support | 12:09 |
| db92 | Dillizar, i think youre not getting it | 12:09 |
| soshka | hey guys | 12:09 |
| db92 | Dillizar, what i mean is improve the playback quality, not the video quality in the files or something | 12:10 |
| soshka | how do you change brightness settings in ubuntu HH | 12:10 |
| db92 | cos i dual boot and i know that the original video quality is pretty good, simply on linux it appears a bit (insert profane word here) | 12:10 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, you are welcome | 12:10 |
| Gallez | soshka: use your monitor options | 12:10 |
| Gallez | soshka: i mean the buttons on your monitor | 12:11 |
| hfmls | its working | 12:11 |
| soshka | those arent working | 12:11 |
| Micheleee | WalloO: i have installed your app...but i can just see cpu usage.. | 12:11 |
| Micheleee | where do i have the select all the options? | 12:11 |
| soshka | you see my ubuntu is very dark and i can change brightness using nvidia settings but each time i restart the settings restart | 12:11 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, you have to launch it several time. Then right click on each one to go to properties, | 12:11 |
| soshka | is there a way to make the settins stick? | 12:12 |
| Gallez | soshka: edit xorg.conf then | 12:12 |
| Gallez | that way at each boot your settings will automatically be applied | 12:12 |
| rubydiamond | hi ppl | 12:12 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, then you can configure each one to display whatever you want | 12:12 |
| atle|f | soshka: what video card | 12:12 |
| soshka | nvidia | 12:12 |
| inflex | Can you go from a 6.10 system straight to an 8.04, or does one have to go to 7.10 first? | 12:12 |
| Micheleee | ok perfetc | 12:12 |
| KrimZon | in hardy i'm trying to play with encfs, and i get the error "fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied" - i'm not sure if the fuse kernel module is present or enabled - does anyone know how to check and fix this? | 12:12 |
| massmc | Please help!!! I turned my computer on and can't turn it back off.. I have not slept for 3 days.. | 12:12 |
| atle|f | soshka: do you have nvidia-settings installed | 12:12 |
| soshka | yes | 12:12 |
| soshka | each time i restart the settings go back to old ubuntu settings | 12:13 |
| atle|f | soshka: if not, install it | 12:13 |
| Gallez | what file specifies grub settings? | 12:13 |
| WalloO | Micheleee, in howto.txt there are a few scripts to control fan speed and display more system information... | 12:13 |
| Riotta | massmc: sudo halt -p | 12:13 |
| Riotta | in terminal | 12:13 |
| Yumari | Due to several errors trying to install games through wine, I've decided to switch back to windows. However, after going through the initial setup for windows (formatting to NTFS and installing setup files) my computer starts into a reboot loop. Is windows having a hard time changing the disk format to NTFS or is it a separate issue? | 12:13 |

| rubydiamond | how do I search the files using grep reverse chronologically? | 12:13 |
| Gallez | where can i edit grub settings? | 12:13 |
| jrib | Yumari: you should ask ##windows | 12:14 |
| ccooke | rubydiamond: you want to tell grep to search a list of files, starting at the youngest and working back? | 12:14 |
| WalloO | Gallez, /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:14 |
| Gallez | WalloO, thanks | 12:14 |
| atle|f | Gallez: alt-F2 gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:14 |

| massmc | Riotta, I tried that but it told me to get more coffee | 12:14 |
| hfmls | how can i merge the top bar with programs and the bottom bar with windows? | 12:15 |
| soshka | atle|f and what does that command do? | 12:15 |
| ccooke | rubydiamond: that'll be a compound command - grep can't do it on its own | 12:15 |
| massmc | I keep having dreams about Nelson Mandala.. tis why I dont sleep | 12:15 |
| ccooke | rubydiamond: | 12:15 |
| Riotta | massmc: use the force | 12:15 |
| Riotta | :P | 12:15 |
| WalloO | hfmls, just remove the bottom bar, then right click on the top bar and "add to panel" | 12:15 |
| atle|f | soshka: it will start it as root | 12:15 |
| ccooke | rubydiamond: (grep just takes a list of files to search - the only ordering is provided by for it) | 12:15 |
| rubydiamond | okay | 12:16 |
| atle|f | soshka: and it will stick | 12:16 |
| WalloO | hfmls, you can add all properties from the bottom bar to the top one like that | 12:16 |
| ccooke | rubydiamond: are all the files in the same directory (and can you guarantee they will always be in the same directory?) | 12:16 |
| rubydiamond | no.. they can also be subdirectories | 12:16 |
| rubydiamond | but fine they can be in same directory | 12:17 |
| Gallez | can i just remove an entry from /boot/grub/menu.lst if i don't want it to appear on the list? | 12:17 |
| ccooke | rubydiamond: and you want a newer file in a subdirectory to be processed before a file in the root of the search? | 12:17 |
| atle|f | Gallez: you can uncomment with # | 12:17 |
| massmc | massmc@massmc-desktop:~$ sudu ./use the force | 12:17 |
| massmc | bash: sudu: command not found | 12:17 |

| ccooke | rubydiamond: either is possible, but there's a simpler solution for the always-in-one-directory problem :-) | 12:18 |
| rubydiamond | ccooke: what is that? | 12:18 |
| massmc | massmc@massmc-desktop:~$ sudo use the force | 12:18 |

| [newb]Miki | Hi. I had a problem with my vid card. I asked it in ATI and the guy said there is something wrong with my dri or something, and he told me to say it here. (this is a file that shows the problem or something : http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ ) | 12:51 |
| atle|f | hfmls: you can even drag it over to the apperance window | 12:51 |

| Dexical | NetworkManager isn't working, or at least the front-end applet. It doesn't detect my wireless card, although I can access and configure it through the console with iwconfig/wireless-tools. I can disable wireless, enable it and disable/enable the interface. If I want to right click to connect to any wifi AP, it says "no network device found" | 13:03 |

| filthpig | Hi. When I try to install ubuntu through wubi, I get as far as rebooting, organizing partitions and the actual install starts, but then at ca 15% the computer simply dies. It's an old Dell Inspiron 5150.. I suspect cpu overheating, any other ideas? | 13:06 |

| toxic_ | sorry, thought i was un ubuntu-fr... | 13:06 |
| cranshinibon | i have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs and im using the newest version of ubuntu and for some reason my sound just wont work | 13:06 |
| [newb]Miki | wehre can you find a list of hardware? | 13:07 |
| cranshinibon | i changed it to the right sound card, my device manager isnt saying it needs anything, i unticked the audigy analog/digital output jack and still nothing | 13:07 |
| Accidus | Where can I find missing info files? For example, my 'info kpathsea' page doesn't exist. | 13:07 |
| toxic_ | i'm looking for a way to access my password protected samba shared folders (passwords are in the keyring ) without having to enter the keyring password every time i try to get access to it... | 13:07 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, have you tried plugging in your speakers in various outputs of your card? My old soundblaster works but I have it plugged into another port other than standard. | 13:07 |
| fudus9 | How do i stop gnome from snapping to edge of screen when i drag a window near the erdge? | 13:08 |
| fudus9 | it is annoying | 13:08 |
| filthpig | Accidus, have you tried synaptic? | 13:08 |
| cranshinibon | lemme try it now....i figured it wouldnt work bc it worked fine in xp under this port | 13:08 |
| Accidus | What, 'info synaptic'? | 13:08 |
| filthpig | fudus9, metacity or compiz? | 13:08 |
| Accidus | Doesn't work... | 13:08 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, I understand, I did the same thing. Worth a shot | 13:09 |
| fudus9 | metacity | 13:09 |
| filthpig | Accidus, no, you can get loads of docs for programs via synaptic, it's under system - administration | 13:09 |
| dns53 | Accidus there are 2 manual systems, man and info, try info kpathsea | 13:09 |
| Accidus | Tried that dns, it doesn't work | 13:09 |
| cranshinibon | k just tried all of em....nothin | 13:09 |

| Accidus | filthpig: Erm, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu, I'm using Kubuntu. What did you mean by 'system - administartion'? | 13:11 |
| === lucas_ is now known as lucasrizzini | ||
| Kartagis | lololo: did you recently update it? | 13:12 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, OK, have you double-clicked your volume control to see if you have the soundblaster enabled? Also, check to see if if you have all the sliders enabled and up close to max. PCM and Wave | 13:12 |
| filthpig | Accidus, oh, I thought you were using the GNOME version of ubuntu. Er, I'm not sure about kubuntu, havent used it for years | 13:12 |
| Dexical | filthpig: what is he trying to do? | 13:12 |
| filthpig | Accidus, pop up a terminal (Konsole) and type "kdesu synaptic" | 13:13 |
| Accidus | I'm looking for kpathsea info page. | 13:13 |
| filthpig | Dexical, start synaptic :P | 13:13 |
| cranshinibon | yea is enabled as wel as having everything else all the way up...however there is no wave bar under the preferences | 13:13 |
| Tophat | ive got an issue with my BCM4318 (bcm43xx) i've got it working once with ndiswrapper and now it wont work. at all. any suggestions? | 13:13 |
| Accidus | Hmm... I don't think I have synaptic installed. | 13:13 |
| Dexical | I think kubuntu uses adept, and another simpler interface for apt, Accidus? | 13:13 |
| Dexical | Adept rather than synaptic | 13:14 |
| filthpig | okay | 13:14 |
| filthpig | Accidus, try kdesu adept, then | 13:14 |
| Dexical | K icon -> System -> adept | 13:14 |
| fudus9 | How do i stop gnome from snapping to edge of screen when i drag a window near the edge in metacity? ubuntu 8.04 | 13:14 |
| Accidus | adept's on | 13:14 |
| Accidus | What should I search for? | 13:14 |
| Accidus | kpathsea? | 13:14 |
| filthpig | Accidus, yeah, or kpathsea info | 13:14 |
| filthpig | just see what pops up | 13:14 |
| Accidus | Already done that. It just gives me the libkpathsea package, which is already installed | 13:15 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, well, my card is ancient so it still has a wave slider. Do you have a sound card on your motherboard? If so, have you disabled it in your bios? | 13:15 |
| Dexical | NetworkManager isn't working, or at least the front-end applet. It doesn't detect my wireless card, although I can access and configure it through the console with iwconfig/wireless-tools. I can disable wireless, enable it and disable/enable the interface. If I want to right click to connect to any wifi AP, it says "no network device found". Can somone help me figure this out? | 13:15 |
| lololo | Hello, how to install NVidia driver for GeForce 8400M at 64 bit system?! | 13:16 |
| filthpig | Accidus, there is a possibility that the file does not exist. I dunno about that, though. | 13:16 |
| Dexical | I remembered that you can't use NetworkManager to configure network interfaces if they're specified in /etc/network/interfaces | 13:16 |
| xtermin8r | Hi | 13:16 |
| Dexical | But only loopback is there | 13:16 |
| filthpig | Accidus, tried this: http://www.nada.kth.se/cgi-bin/info?(kpathsea)Supported%20file%20formats | 13:16 |
| xtermin8r | Anyone seen a skinnable media player that I can make big buttons for my touchscreen with? (not mythtv as it installs 700mb of junk). | 13:16 |
| bpun | ushimitsudoki, thanks, this is for somebody... can you see this log please? http://pastebin.ca/1051881 .. not sure what the 'unclaimed' is meaning... | 13:16 |

| Accidus | Thanks filthpig | 13:16 |
| frold | Im looking for a good RubyonRail editor for ubuntu - what do you recommand Im using? | 13:17 |
| bpun | or if anyone can see this? | 13:17 |
| Accidus | I'm wondering, though, why there's no info page about it | 13:17 |
| cranshinibon | i do have a sound card and im pretty sure i disabled it....i took of the onboard sound as well as the instant music config | 13:17 |
| Accidus | (on my machine, that is) | 13:17 |
| filthpig | lololo, the ubuntu restricted driver installer should do that for you. System - administration - restricted drivers | 13:17 |
| xtermin8r | lololo: ok, thanks. | 13:17 |
| lololo | but i want OFFICIAL driver pack | 13:17 |
| lololo | i cant find .run for 8400M | 13:17 |
| lololo | only 8700M :( | 13:18 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, you can check if you disabled by plugging your speakers in the onboard port. | 13:18 |

| zoliky | Hi | 13:18 |
| mr_whippy | hey all | 13:18 |
| cranshinibon | kk lemme check then | 13:18 |
| filthpig | fudus9, I'm not on ubuntu right now (running XP, ugh), but I guess it should be under system - prefs - appearance (just a guess) | 13:18 |
| zoliky | Is possible to read/write an OS X leopard HDD in ubuntu? | 13:18 |
| [newb]Miki | I must say you people here are very helpfull -.- | 13:18 |
| zoliky | I need to transfer a file to osx partition | 13:19 |
| filthpig | lololo, you DO get the official from the restr. driver program. Maybe not the latest, but the safest. | 13:19 |
| lololo | i tried, compiz doesnt work with it ;( | 13:19 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, check this page as well, http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html | 13:19 |
| lololo | maybe it is too new for uboontoo driver? | 13:20 |
| ushimitsudoki | bpun: can you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Perhaps the driver module is failing to load? I am not sure why "UNCLAIMED" is there, and the driver and module are not listed in the "configuration: " line in the output | 13:20 |
| cranshinibon | ive been to the website but i dont know what to do once im there | 13:20 |
| dns53 | zoliky it should be, does anyone know what file system they use by default? | 13:20 |
| Dexical | Hey guys my wireless doesn't work. Except it does - if I configure it from the command line. I dont want to do this every time, how do I get the applet for NetworkManager to be able to connect to wireless networks on right-click? | 13:20 |
| kaloyan | what does the TIME FORMAT in dmesg and logs represent | 13:20 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, have you read it? You mean you don't understand it? | 13:21 |
| mr_whippy | can anyone help me with a problem, how do i allow my client to connect to my server once i have reinstalled the server i cant connect using ssh it says i need to modify a file(havent got the file name as of yet, as i havent reinstalled the server last time i ended up reinstalling the client as well) if i just delete the content of the file will it allow me to connect then | 13:21 |
| cranshinibon | ive read it but im not sure exactly what to do...btw my onboard is still working for some reason | 13:21 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, your onboard should not be working if you disabled it in your bios. This is most likely your issue. | 13:22 |
| Accidus | Ah! I found it | 13:22 |
| Accidus | My texlive-base-bin-doc package wasn't installed | 13:22 |
| filthpig | Dexical, I guess you can write a script that launches at boot, but I don't know how, sorry | 13:22 |
| kaloyan | what does the TIME FORMAT in dmesg and logs represent ,more importantly how can i change it | 13:23 |
| zoliky | Is possible to read/write a HFS+ partition on ubuntu live CD? | 13:23 |
| filthpig | Accidus, oh, that's obvious ;p | 13:23 |
| kaloyan | any pointers??? | 13:23 |
| x_dimitri | I need help getting an iburst pcmcia card to work on ubuntu. Has anybody been able to get this working? | 13:23 |
| Accidus | :-) | 13:23 |
| cranshinibon | let me double check again its weird that its not opening | 13:23 |
| cranshinibon | brb | 13:23 |
| Accidus | I have another problem though, although I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask it | 13:23 |
| bhc | i use pcmcia 3g modem | 13:23 |
| bhc | works well | 13:23 |
| Accidus | My headphones used to work up to several days ago | 13:24 |
| filthpig | Accidus, ask and we'll see | 13:24 |
| Accidus | Now they've stopped working | 13:24 |
| Accidus | I suspect this may have to do with Skype, since this is the only application I've installed that may have anything to do with it | 13:24 |
| x_dimitri | bhc:I'm having problems installing the pcmcia driver form sourceforge | 13:24 |
| bpun | ushimitsudoki, y the radeon, ati and a fb driver are being loaded... | 13:24 |
| Accidus | I've tried the system->sound system configuration | 13:24 |
| Accidus | and the Kmix application | 13:24 |
| bhc | my kubuntu auto detect the pcmcia | 13:24 |
| Accidus | but either I'm using them wrong, or that's not the way to ask it | 13:24 |
| ushimitsudoki | bpun: hmm, and only one of those is listen in xorg.conf? | 13:25 |
| mr_whippy | hey all, can anyone help me with an ssh problem should be a quicky | 13:25 |
| x_dimitri | bhc:did you have you install the drivers manually | 13:25 |
| ushimitsudoki | bpun: listen = listed | 13:25 |
| bhc | nope | 13:25 |
| x_dimitri | bhcL did you have to install the drivers manually? | 13:25 |
| bhc | plug and play | 13:25 |
| dbglt | for some odd reason... whenever I click... it's coming out as a double click... suffice to say, it's very annoying | 13:25 |
| kaloyan | anybody about the time format in dmesg? | 13:25 |
| dbglt | any ideas? : | 13:25 |
| x_dimitri | bhc: well, it's not working for me... :-( | 13:26 |
| filthpig | Accidus, hm, you might wanna try the #kubuntu channel, but I guess there's just a setting that's been changed. I guess you can try alsamixer and see if you find anything there. | 13:26 |
| bpun | ushimitsudoki, correct, just "ati" i believe - will ask him for the log file | 13:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | bpun: well, that is my best suggestion to check - i don't have ATI card on this machine | 13:27 |

| derspankster | cranshinibon, I can only speak from my experience. I switched off my onboard audio from my bios and then found that I had to change the normal speaker port to another one to get sound. My card is an old soundblaster live. | 13:36 |

| wire0 | please someone help me... i finally got wireless working but the signal strenght is a joke.. no its NOT my setup I get 100% in windows, so I know this is related to linux | 13:37 |
| cranshinibon | hm ill try to switch it again...maybe i missed one....the only thing i find awkward is that the onboard works even under the audigy alsa | 13:37 |
| cranshinibon | is that normal? | 13:37 |
| wire0 | knetwork tells me 55% and sometimes its down to 20% = UNACEPTABLE | 13:37 |
| Riotta | wire0: what wireless card you use ? | 13:38 |
| Riotta | it's probably releated to this card | 13:38 |

| derspankster | cranshinibon, the OS is porting sound through your onboard apparently, independent of what you select. | 13:38 |
| Riotta | maybe that can be helpful for you wire0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176752 | 13:39 |
| cranshinibon | any ideas? i mean i dont mind using the onboard sound but id much rather use the card ive had for god knows how many years | 13:39 |
| wire0 | Riotta: thanks but that guide is useless | 13:39 |
| wire0 | Riotta: I run into so many compiliing errors im crying | 13:40 |
| chade | USB mice will not work on my system ... what can i do ? | 13:40 |
| wire0 | how do you check signal strenght without using knetwork manager? | 13:40 |
| Tophat | how can i setup an ad hoc network in ubuntu? | 13:40 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, I'm unsure of what else to tell you. My experience is limited to my soundblaster live card. I had the same issues as you and solved them as I've previously described. | 13:41 |
| wire0 | any bash command to verify true signal strenght | 13:41 |
| warddr | how can I make screenshots of wine-games? | 13:41 |
| tschaka | wire0 try something like "iwlist wlan0" | 13:41 |
| filthpig | I'm gonna buy a new wlan pcmcia (or usb) card very soon. Do you know of any cards (chipsets) that have OPEN SOURCE drivers? | 13:41 |
| tschaka | got no wireless here, so dunno exactly. but i could check on another machine | 13:42 |
| Ecnerifed | hi all, how can i get my ubuntu to just auto update everyday instead of asking me and telling me theres new updates every day? | 13:42 |
| Tophat | filthpig - most linksys products are | 13:42 |
| cranshinibon | screw it lol ill just use the onboard | 13:42 |
| wire0 | its funny ralikn supports linux | 13:42 |
| wire0 | they have linux drivers | 13:42 |
| wire0 | not that it matters | 13:43 |
| wire0 | tschaka hmm "unknown command" | 13:43 |
| derspankster | cranshinibon, sorry i couldn't get you going, perhaps someone else? | 13:43 |
| cranshinibon | now how do i get my external hard drive to mount so i can access the files lol | 13:43 |
| adante | the bluetooth icon in the tray - should it do something when i click on it? | 13:43 |
| wire0 | I need to calm down im so angry | 13:43 |
| danza | wire0, try iwconfig | 13:43 |
| filthpig | Tophat, not the usb device I bought last time ;) Maybe they've fixed that since then, although I haven't heard about it | 13:43 |
| cranshinibon | you helped me plenty :) lol i wouldnt have even tried the onboard in the first place | 13:43 |
| tschaka | wire0 calm :D eerr, is this card a ralink chipset? | 13:43 |
| wire0 | Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g | 13:44 |
| wire0 | iwconfig Link Quality=75/100 Signal level=-28 dBm | 13:44 |
| sirlark | Hi there, I'm trying to set up a software raid1 system, following the instructions available at http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server. But so far I cannot get it to boot | 13:44 |
| tschaka | wire0 ok. signal level is ok. -28 dbm is a quite good value. | 13:44 |
| sirlark | I'm installing from scratch | 13:44 |
| sirlark | wire0: trying to get ralink wireless card to work? | 13:45 |
| wire0 | tschaka: yeah but its not stable, it gose from 75- down to 20% all the time | 13:45 |
| wire0 | yeah | 13:45 |
| tschaka | wire0 general question, do you experience some unstabilities when downloading files from the internet? or moving files on network? | 13:45 |
| [newb]Miki | i need an ATI 7500 mobility radeon driver | 13:45 |
| tschaka | wire0 quality and signal level isnt the same. | 13:45 |
| cranshinibon | how do i change myself to root | 13:45 |
| wire0 | tschaka i dont understand | 13:45 |
| wire0 | tschake hold on | 13:46 |
| hfmls | hi | 13:46 |
| sirlark | cranshinibon: assuming you've set a root passwd, just use su | 13:46 |
| wire0 | I will start my server, I can leach at 1mB/s with full strenght in windows | 13:46 |
| hfmls | guys how do i send exaile near the clock? like emesene and xchat | 13:46 |
| wire0 | lets see | 13:46 |
| cranshinibon | oh thats it lol i figured it was different hahahaha | 13:46 |
| sirlark | cranshinibon: if you haven't set a rot passwd yet, use sudo passwd | 13:46 |
| cranshinibon | ty | 13:46 |
| tschaka | wire0 i mean on ubuntu. | 13:46 |
| wire0 | oh | 13:46 |
| jrib | !root > cranshinibon (read the private message from ubottu) | 13:46 |
| otsman | i'm wondering if any taskserver exists for linux, i don't know if such software solution exists in any platform but probably there is. i' need something like rememberthemilk.com but shared by departments, any idea? | 13:46 |
| jrib | sirlark: please inform users of sudo before recommending that. It's entirely unnecessary | 13:47 |
| derspankster | anyone having problems reaching ubuntu forums today? | 13:47 |
| jrib | cranshinibon: there is no need to set a root password, and doing so isn't even recomended | 13:47 |
| tschaka | wire0 i'm asking, coz i got 2 machines with rt61 chipset based cards, and both are very very much unstable when moving files on high bandwidth. (also on 250 kB/s) etc. | 13:47 |
| axisys | how do I find out what files gets installed from a pkg name ? | 13:47 |
| axisys | from cli | 13:47 |
| jrib | axisys: dpkg -L | 13:47 |
| cranshinibon | how do i remove the password then | 13:47 |
| hfmls | how do i send exaile to tray ? | 13:47 |
| axisys | jrib: dpkg -L <pkg-name> ? | 13:48 |
| cranshinibon | nvm | 13:48 |
| tschaka | wire0 other thing is, you should rather rely on signal level then on quality. as far as i know, this is much more important. you could do e.g. a "ping www.google.se" do found out, if you got packet loss. | 13:48 |
| jrib | axisys: yes | 13:48 |
| sirlark | jrib: sorry, I'm a gentoo man, never use sudo myself, keep forgetting you ubuntu guys don't like su | 13:48 |
| dns53 | hfmls it is an option in the preferences to use the tray and taskbar | 13:48 |
| axisys | jrib: thnx | 13:48 |
| tschaka | hfmls click on the tray icon. | 13:49 |
| jrib | cranshinibon: passwd -l root will lock the account again | 13:49 |

| Starnestommy | x-ip: I think it's /etc/event.d/rc-default | 13:53 |
| sirlark | I have a fresh ubuntu server install on a RAID1 (sorry typo in last post) system. I'm getting the BIOS message DISK BOOT FAILURE ... | 13:53 |
| jmazaredo | anyone have a setup of ubuntu+ postfix with postfixadmin here | 13:55 |
| Jaffarkelshac | !fonts | 13:55 |

| dns53 | sirlark the /boot should not be part of the raid or duplicated with raid 0, best to have grub in the mbr on all drives | 13:55 |
| x-ip | thanks a lot Starnestommy =) | 13:56 |
| sirlark | dns, I have grub setup'd all drives successfully, but don't have a separate boot partition... is this strictly necessary? i.e. I have to reinstall | 13:56 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to limit the upload speed on my PC with ubuntu? | 13:57 |
| wire0 | tschaka hmm is it normal that it takes this long? | 13:57 |

| tschaka | wire0 when cancelling the ping (through ctrl+c) there is a summary. do you see packet loss there? | 13:58 |

| Fackamato | Hi guys. Can I install ndiswrapper from the ubuntu cd? | 13:59 |
| Fackamato | (8.04, 64bit) | 13:59 |
| Fackamato | And also, I need the XP 64bit driver for ndiswrapper to work in 64bit ubuntu, right? | 13:59 |
| Conundrum_ | !Mplayer | 13:59 |
| ubottu | mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs | 13:59 |
| sirlark | dns53: err, I also have RAID disabled in BIOS, but I was under the impression that BIOS raid was not necessary | 13:59 |
| tschaka | wire0 mmh well the ping seems pretty much high. but as long as you wont play online games this shouldnt matter. at least there is no packet loss, which means your connection should be pretty stable. those fluctuating times could be an issue of the driver (which is still in development) but shouldnt disturb too much. | 14:00 |

| wire0 | tschake I dont game at all, but what about downloading? | 14:01 |
| hfmls | guys what do i have to download to watch 3gp ? | 14:01 |
| hfmls | k800 video | 14:01 |
| dns53 | sirlark you are probably setting up software raid (unless you have a really expensive add on card), you need the kernel to boot first then start the raid, so have the /boot fies in a separate partition | 14:01 |
| tschaka | wire0 but, to tell you already, if u will experience connection drops when downloading or moving files on the network, i can't help you. but this isnt related to ping times, they shouldnt affect Downloads and DL speeds not at all. | 14:02 |
| sirlark | dns53: cool, thanks, reinstalling now | 14:02 |
| wire0 | tschaka: okay im gonna try my server now, starting with a HD movie 30GB, im used to 1mB/s lets see | 14:02 |
| MohammadBoozary | Who Have Fiber Channel Internet ? | 14:03 |
| tschaka | wire0 could be you need to reconnect after that (disable network in knetworkmanager and enable it again) or even reboot. if DL stops. | 14:03 |
| hfmls | i eat fiber cereials while i'm internet | 14:03 |

| gordonjcp | element: close firefox completely, it still has grabbed the soundcard | 14:25 |

| home_ | Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu 8.04, no, dunno what is that yes no novirtual machine and i dont have windows just ubuntu | 14:25 |
| gordonjcp | element: Flash uses an old way of dealing with sound that makes it insist on being the only thing using the card | 14:25 |
| xiownthisplacex | i already did tzselect | 14:25 |
| dns53 | seyed-mehdi well it perhaps is related to the ssl random number generator problem, anyone here have any more ideas? | 14:25 |
| choudesh | prada, what seems to be the issue? | 14:25 |
| Bert_2 | choudesh: tried, but they all say --question does that but it doesn't return anything | 14:25 |
| rick111 | CHEEKY CHOPS | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | home_ what all have you installed or added or changed | 14:25 |
| wire0 | thanks choudesh, I tried iftop but it couldnt get my ip, but cbam did thanks | 14:25 |
| element | gordonjcp: but that really sux | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rick111 please dont | 14:25 |
| gordonjcp | element: that's flash for you | 14:26 |
| dlozarie | m1r, FF3 doesn't crash anymore when I close the Gmail tab after log-out, so it must be something in the Gmail scripts, right? | 14:26 |

| gordonjcp | element: pester Adobe to bring flash up to date, and not use an API that's been dead for ten years | 14:26 |
| Bert_2 | choudesh: that's for basic bash, not bash with a zenity front-end, I'm asking how to handle zenity not bash | 14:27 |
| element | gordonjcp: thx im playing music right now | 14:27 |
| home_ | Jack_Sparrow: some few programs theme icons visual effects thats all | 14:27 |
| choudesh | Bert_2, it is similiar to g_dialog | 14:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bert_2 What you are asking is beyond the scope of ubuntu support | 14:27 |
| Bert_2 | Jack_Sparrow: okey, I'm sorry | 14:27 |
| prada | whenever i decide to into using grub...dual booting i get this F******* grub 17 error everytime | 14:27 |
| home_ | Jack_Sparrow: not ant major settings like sorce or smt like that | 14:27 |
| dlozarie | oh, and with regards to that earlier complaint about not being able to access any https pages, https://mail.google.com works fine. :D | 14:28 |
| dns53 | seyed-mehdi the randomness of ssl keys was not that random, i'm not an expert and it is only a guess | 14:28 |
| gordonjcp | element: cool | 14:28 |
| gordonjcp | element: it's a PITA but that's how things are right now... | 14:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | home_ you could have a failing hard drive... just not enough info to tell. | 14:28 |
| element | gordonjcp: but..i dont understand who can i fix it | 14:28 |
| choudesh | Bert_2, input=$(zenity --text "What you like to call the GDM Login screen?" --entry | 14:28 |
| home_ | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 14:28 |
| seyed-mehdi | dns53: thx alot 4 ur info, do u know how can I fix my prob ? | 14:28 |
| choudesh | Bert_2, it takes two seconds with google and man pages | 14:28 |
| element | gordonjcp: i wanna play youtube and i wanna play music at the same time | 14:28 |
| prada | its's crap | 14:29 |
| home_ | Jack_Sparrow: i will miss my bus must go ta-ta | 14:29 |
| Bert_2 | choudesh: sorry I overlooked it then, excuse me | 14:29 |
| gordonjcp | element: only Adobe can fix it, unless someone writes a thing that somehow intercepts Flash's attempt to grab sound | 14:29 |
| m1r | cant boot into ubuntu , grub reports error 17 , any tips how to fix this ? | 14:29 |
| seyed-mehdi | dns53: I'd googled but didnt find anything useful | 14:29 |
| dns53 | seyed-mehdi unfortunatly no i'm just guessing that is the problem | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | element look into this..Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc? | 14:29 |

| jatt | Which package should I install to get the help. | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | element hold on | 14:29 |
| choudesh | Bert_2, No problem. But if you can get a good answer out of a specfic channel (bash) then use google. Its only 9am on the east coast. ;-) | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | element http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html Lets you use pulseaudio for flash (which lets you have audio in flash without having to close other programs using audio first.) and it prevents flash from ever crashing firefox. | 14:29 |

| gambi | hi, i try to install ubuntu server on already partitioned and formated disk (with fdisk) but somehow i'm not able to select any of my partitions in the installer. only the erase all option is available. how can i manually set the root partition? | 14:33 |
| choudesh | prada, why are you going to have to take your computer apart if it is only grub? | 14:33 |
| jatt | (I'm installing yelp lets see if it the help works better) | 14:34 |
| webvictim | grub nub! | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gambi is this a raid setup? | 14:34 |
| webvictim | :P | 14:34 |
| === loner is now known as weirdo | ||
| m1r | i get grub boot error 17 , and from what i heave read that it can determine filesystem on disk i am trying to boot, how can i make grub aware is ext3 ? | 14:34 |
| === weirdo is now known as weirdor | ||
| dns53 | dlozarie to install or use? to use you need to enter a protocol like irc://server | 14:34 |
| gambi | Jack_Sparrow: nope, just one ata disk | 14:34 |
| jatt | hm. that solved the problem: install yelp | 14:34 |
| webvictim | error 17 generally means that it can't find the disk where /boot is located | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gambi I have not used the server install but there should be a manula partition setup | 14:35 |
| jlw | How do I reload my window manager? I cant click the menus or show desktop, though I can use alt + f1 | 14:35 |
| m1r | webvictim: from what i read it cant understand FS | 14:35 |
| webvictim | jlw: gnome or KDE? | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r Are you running live cd on that box now | 14:35 |
| jlw | gnome | 14:35 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: no | 14:35 |
| webvictim | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 14:35 |
| gambi | Jack_Sparrow: well there is one. but it's unfortunatly filled with only one option :( | 14:35 |
| gambi | erase all ... | 14:36 |
| webvictim | if you can get to a terminal, kloseline | 14:36 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: i start it now | 14:36 |
| webvictim | oops, jlw | 14:36 |
| webvictim | i guess that worked then :P | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jlw Did you just lose the top bar or open windows.. the minimize max and close buttons etc? | 14:36 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: loading livecd on that machine | 14:37 |

| adante | hi just confirming, there is no graphical dual screen configurator for ubuntu yet right? | 14:40 |
| choudesh | adante, there is one if you use nvidia | 14:41 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: livecd booted | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r sudo fdisk -l | 14:41 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i thought the displayconfig-gtk was for that but dont have dual monitor to check | 14:42 |
| choudesh | Jaffarkelshac, actually you are right. | 14:42 |
| webvictim | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, true :P | 14:42 |
| choudesh | Jaffarkelshac, displayconfig-gtk does have one now | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jeruvy did you check the list of supported hardware to make sure your printer was in there and if people were having problems | 14:42 |
| adante | i'll take a look for that, thanks guys! | 14:42 |
| filthpig | adante, yes there is? I guess it's under system - administration - screens and graphics? | 14:42 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: /dev/sdb1 boot* | 14:42 |
| adante | filthpig: i do not have that option, do you know what package installs it? | 14:42 |
| filthpig | adante, maybe under preferences? | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r Please state your question again for me | 14:43 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: grub error 17 | 14:43 |
| Jeruvy | Jack_Sparrow: well I'm not sure, the drivers are official for hardy, they install fine, but they do not print and I encounter another error with the doc queue as noted. | 14:43 |
| adante | filthpig: i have an option for screen resolution but that shows a single monitor | 14:43 |
| filthpig | hmm | 14:43 |
| Invader | how do I check whether my wireless pc card driver is installed correct or not? | 14:43 |
| filthpig | adante, which gfx card do you have? | 14:43 |
| Jaffarkelshac | are you using live cd now? | 14:44 |
| prada | yeah ! sure do! grub messed up my computer AGAIN with the grub 17 error... how else can i say it Jack_Sparrow | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r SIngle drive? not an external etc | 14:44 |
| adante | filthpig: quadro fx 570m | 14:44 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: 2 drives , 1st XP , 2nd ubuntu | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prada Tone it down | 14:44 |
| generic | What are the softwares use for private/secure file sharing in Ubuntu?? | 14:44 |
| dns53 | Invader if you have the device shown under network manager it is probably working | 14:45 |
| CoronaBW | How can I tell if Ubuntu is having problems with my RAID controller? | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r Did you install windows after ubuntu and where did you install grub mbr of first disk | 14:45 |
| prada | i'm tired of taking my computer apart | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prada are you mixing sata and ide drives | 14:45 |
| filthpig | adante, ah, then nvidia-settings should do the trick. try sudo nvidia-settings (and hit tab for alternatives, I don't remember exactly the name of the command). That's a nice tool to use, it fixed my dual monitor problems, at least | 14:46 |
| prada | yes i installed windows first | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prada are you mixing sata and ide drives | 14:46 |
| choudesh | Jack_Sparrow, m1r, prada, this usually only occures if there you are trying to boot grub on a unsupported filesystem (ntfs, reiserfs/patched, ...). Another issue is device.map and SCSI vs IDE in the BIOS | 14:46 |
| prada | yes...maybe | 14:46 |
| Dbproguy | Hey is that thing where you can install Ubuntu inside Windows any good? | 14:47 |
| Dbproguy | Like is it faster if you do otherwise? | 14:47 |
| Sysctl | hey folks. i think theres something wrong with Xen on ubuntu server 8.04 | 14:47 |
| bobbob1016 | I burned a video DVD, and I don't think it was finalized since it isn't read by PC's without a DVD-RW. Is there a way I can finalize it? | 14:47 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: xp is there for years , ubuntu was instaled fresh b4 few days on 2nd hdd (64bit) , for grub i think is installed on 1st HD (xp one) | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prada are you mixing sata and ide drives do you understand the question? and how to know | 14:47 |
| choudesh | Jack_Sparrow, I would suggest these people boot off the live cd and run grub-install --recheck | 14:47 |
| dns53 | Dbproguy it is called wubi and comes on the normal live cd, just insert it while running windows and it will come up | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | choudesh there is an issue when people mix ide and sata... the drive mapping keeps switching on them | 14:47 |
| m1r | choudesh , Jack_Sparrow , both my drives are sata | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dbproguy In my opinion.. no. I wont use or recommend it | 14:48 |
| choudesh | Jack_Sparrow, I know. I have similiar issue - but when I shut down I have script that runs grub-install | 14:48 |
| Sysctl | it seems to hang faily easily, to the point that doing long operations on mysql evenutally lose connection... never seen that before on debian | 14:48 |
| dns53 | Dbproguy it should work fine but you have a layer siting between your files and the file system so it can be slower and does not work well if your drive is fragmented | 14:48 |
| Dbproguy | dns53, yea I know I already tried that, I'm just wondering if it can go faster | 14:48 |
| gozippycmc | #puppet | 14:49 |
| choudesh | Jack_Sparrow, I really think the issue is fake-raid controllers | 14:49 |
| prada | csn you pm me because i cant even reac what you are typing since i'm on palm pilot | 14:49 |
| Sergeant_Pony | anyone having a problem with COmpiz? it messes up my screen so bad I have to reboot. | 14:49 |
| Invader | dns53: Sorry to ask - is the network manager = system -> Administration -> Network? If yes, then I've got two wireless connections - should I set them to roam-mode or configurate them manually? | 14:49 |
| wire0 | Sergeant_Pony: whats your command to start it? compiz -- replace? | 14:49 |
| choudesh | Jack_Sparrow, the fake-raid controller boot up with min. firmware emulating an IDE device - but once inside the OS - they load the software raid driver | 14:49 |
| Dbproguy | dns53 I had already tried partitioning my drive and dual-booting windows and ubuntu but my computer doesn't like partitioning drives, the main partition is locked and is taking up the entire hard drive. | 14:49 |
| Sergeant_Pony | not sure... where do I lok at the command? | 14:50 |
| Invader | dns53: It's a WPA2 PSK protected lan | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dbproguy You cant resize a mounted drive | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dbproguy look into the gparted livecd | 14:50 |
| Dbproguy | Jack_Sparrow: What can I do then? | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted | 14:51 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 14:51 |
| DSpair | Jack_Sparrow, that's not exactly true... If you are using LVM2 it is possible to extend a partition. | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dbproguy 50 meg download and a handy tool to have around | 14:51 |
| dns53 | Invader i was thinking more about the icon in the system tray, it looks like you have the drivers working atleast and i don't know your network, give everything a try | 14:51 |
| Dbproguy | Jack_Sparrow: Okay, thanks! | 14:51 |
| adante | hrm ok so i can't use nvidia-settings to configure for xinerama? | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DSpair I base help on standard installs not one of the many different ways people modify it | 14:52 |
| prada | Jack_Sparrowe everthing you typed to me ..i couldn't read | 14:52 |
| DSpair | Jack_Sparrow, Understandable. But LVM2 is standard on Ubuntu server... | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prada are you mixing sata and ide drives do you understand the question? and how to know check | 14:52 |
| wire0 | Sergeant_Pony: try compiz --replace in console | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DSpair if he could not resize it.. he was not running server lvm2 | 14:53 |
| DSpair | Jack_Sparrow, Good point. | 14:53 |
| dns53 | nudges Jack_Sparrow about resize2fs for resizing ext3 drives | 14:53 |
| Invader | dns53: At the network manager in system tray, only the wired connection can be enabled - the wireless cannot... Any suggestion? | 14:53 |
| Jeruvy | Brother printer installed drivers, not printing docs. Document shows in spool as status 'stopped' generates error reported in bug# 137984. How do I print? | 14:53 |
| * DSpair is not the only one picking on Jack.. | 14:53 | |
| DSpair | :) | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dns53 not while they are mounted in a live session | 14:53 |
| harris | /swap , /root..... /what's the other one???????? I forgot | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | harris .home | 14:54 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, your Brother printer comes with Linux drivers? | 14:54 |
| zupb | guys, where i can find a trash for mighting commander? | 14:54 |
| * DSpair likes Brother printers... | 14:54 | |
| Dbproguy | Jack_Sparrow: If GParted is only 50 meg can I just stick it on my USB Flashdrive and boot from that? | 14:54 |
| dns53 | Jack_Sparrow yes they can, i did it yesterday but that is a little off topic | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dns53 You should not resize a mounted partition.. | 14:55 |
| Sergeant_Pony | wireg I got nothing but errors | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dbproguy more trouble than it is worth | 14:55 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: devices /sda1 and /sdb1 have marked boot * sign with fdisk -l | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dns53 show me a tutorial where it suggests that it is a good idea. | 14:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r sorry to leave you in the middle of that. | 14:56 |
| Jeruvy | dlozarie: I used the ones 'official' from hardy multiverse | 14:56 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: no problem , i see u very busy ;) i wait | 14:56 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, and you installed them properly and without incident, yes? | 14:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m1r you need to install grub to mbr of the drive that the bios boots.. normally sda but some bios allow you to boot sdb | 14:57 |
| Dbproguy | Wow I love Ubuntu already, I don't know if it's just the server's I'm downloading from but my download speeds are just about always 10-20% better than what I got with Windows | 14:57 |
| LordOllie | Anyone here use netbeans and have it hang on "creating new project"? | 14:57 |
| dlozarie | Is there a Linux program similar to CCleaner for Windows? | 14:57 |
| bebobli2 | I have GSNES9x, and ZSNES. The first does not properly use my joystick. No matter how I set it there is no reaction. It seems to be aware of the controller yet as I said the games do not react. ZSNES is unable to play sound. No clue why, every other application seems to be dandy with sound aside from flash of course. | 14:58 |
| hp2133 | dlozarie: what does CCleaner do? | 14:58 |
| NickGarvey | dlozarie: shred | 14:58 |
| NickGarvey | oh nope | 14:58 |
| NickGarvey | dlozarie: not shred | 14:58 |
| Li-Plu1 | The nvidia drivers have failed to install this is the log from the installation. http://rafb.net/p/MWGxTc97.html | 14:58 |
| m1r | Jack_Sparrow: i guess i can do that from livecd , but i dont know how | 14:58 |

| Jack_Sparrow | X-tremAl_Raven you will need to be more specific, certain people seem to want to waste my time this am | 15:05 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, hmm. any suspicions as to what may be causing the problem? Maybe that could help. :) | 15:05 |
| Jeruvy | dlozarie: other than brother is a pita? not really... :) | 15:06 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Jack_Sparrow> Ubunto 8.04. Some packets were upgraded and upgrade manager said that it needed to restart. Now I'm not able to change the CPU frequency and got no WiFi at all. | 15:06 |

| Li-Plu1 | would somebody spare a moment to help me, nvidia drivers are failing to build and this is the log from the failed attempt http://rafb.net/p/MWGxTc97.html | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | X-tremAl_Raven ah.. understood... | 15:06 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, LOL. Anyway what printer model do you have? | 15:06 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <Jack_Sparrow> Thought if this was caused by some of the upgraded packets - then I must not be the first one to have that problem. | 15:07 |
| Jeruvy | dlozarie: mfc420cn | 15:07 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, wow, that's what Brother calls their printers? hmm. okay, I'm googling around. :) | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | X-tremAl_Raven any changes in your sources list that may have added to the problem | 15:08 |
| Jeruvy | dlozarie: been there all day yesterday. Talked to brother support, talked to the printer repair guy down the street. Either the printer communication is fried (I really doubt since I can talk to it and XSANE works) | 15:08 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, I found this in the Ubuntu forums: "I'm currently using the 32-bit driver for the Brother MFC420CN on my 64-bit system. That required first installing the csh package, then installing the driver debs with "--force-architecture." If you want yours to run on AMD64, it might be worth a try." | 15:09 |
| Jeruvy | dlozarie: or ubuntu has a bug | 15:09 |

| Prodoc | good afternoon | 15:11 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, oh, okay. I don't think your printer communication's fried; must be a driver/incompatibility problem, and perhaps a bug in Ubuntu. Which version are you on, btw? Hardy? | 15:11 |
| otsman | i'm wondering if any taskserver exists for linux, i don't know if such software solution exists in any platform but probably there is. i' need something like rememberthemilk.com but shared by departments, any idea? | 15:12 |

| Guest16777 | cacchio ragazzi e troppo un casino | 15:13 |
| ne2k__ | Guest16777: oh yes, absolutely | 15:14 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, have you taken a look at this page? http://is.gd/C6o | 15:14 |
| Jeruvy | dlozarie: problem is I need a solution, I can't wait 5-18 months for a bug fix....this driver package for brother-lpr was supposed to be it. Since it does work but the job hangs, I'm guessing another issue is at hand, namely the job queue (or whatever its really called) | 15:14 |
| dns53 | ne2k__ you may need openoffice.org-gnome to be able to use the gnome vfs for smb shares | 15:15 |
| dlozarie | @Jeruvy, could be, but then again I'm afraid I can't say for sure. | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jeruvy what make and model of brother printer | 15:15 |
| dlozarie | @Jack_Sparrow, he's on mfc420cn | 15:15 |

| genii | darklingduck: For instance if you wanted to remove the 2.6.24-17 entry there, in Synaptic Package Manager remove the package linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic (unless you have 64 bit in which case the -generic part is named differently, etc) | 15:24 |
| dns53 | jtaby even better, put that in, it gives you a recovery option, get it to mount your drive and give you a terminal, once there just run 'passwd username' | 15:25 |

| dns53 | SpookyET no, you need to install the 64 bit version they are too seperate as you need all the libraries to be 64 bit, note that 32 bit applications can run on a 64 bit kernel but not the other way around | 15:39 |

| dns53 | jtaby do not edit it directly, instead use the command line tools, useradd to create a new user, passwd <user> to set the password | 15:42 |
| nictimju | that's because you do not have a directory /media/hdd | 15:42 |

| slayton | mudit, no necessarily | 15:43 |
| tuv | my toshiba tecra m8 freezes randomly. running latest ubuntu and up-to-date. logs show nothing. how do i debug the problem? | 15:43 |
| slayton | not | 15:43 |
| idefix | nictimju technically speaking it is a directory? what's the difference between whatever is in the /dev/ dir and in the /media/ dir? | 15:43 |
| LimCore | tuv: try is it possible to ssh into it while frozen etc | 15:44 |
| amenado | Mr_Cheeto-> wired? okay, what changes frequently? can you elaborate? | 15:44 |
| dns53 | jtaby i think you are still using the installer as the root instead of your partition, try running chroot /mnt/target or chroot /target | 15:44 |
| ninefold | What's the error say tiger? | 15:44 |
| jon_high9000 | I see you folks are extremely busy so i try to check it myself. no hard feelings fellas. | 15:44 |
| idefix | none taken | 15:44 |
| slayton | mudit there are two ways to do this, 1- nuke partitions and create new one (Fast, Reliable). 2 - resize current partitions (much harder, slower, prone to errors) | 15:44 |
| idefix | nictimju? | 15:44 |
| tuv | LimCore, no.. that's how i knew it's frozen. does not even respond to pings | 15:44 |
| nictimju | note that /dev points to the physical device, /media/cdrom is the directory which points to it | 15:44 |
| aantn | found it: mozilla-plugin-gnash | 15:44 |
| tiger | gstreamer error: There is no gstreamer codec and/or device present. | 15:44 |
| Mr_Cheeto | amenado, for some reason out of nowhere it seems to contact some unknown DNS server and it pins me with some unkown and non-working IP, it does this all on it's own, is there some sort of refreshing/reseting tool i can dissable? | 15:44 |
| slayton | Mudit, I would recommend that you back up all your data to DVD's or something then just delete all your partitions and create new one | 15:44 |
| mudit | so creating a new partition table is better option ! | 15:45 |
| LimCore | nictimju: such bugs are very hard to debug.... google for bugs in mobo/cpu/etc support, and then perhaps file a bug... and perhaps ask LKML/kernel devles | 15:45 |
| jtaby | dns53, when i ran useradd, then passwd, and i tried to login, it said that it couldn't find a home directory (which is understandable) | 15:45 |
| nictimju | idefix: can you type in cdrecord and see what happens | 15:45 |
| spideyman | idefix is your cdrom in your fstab | 15:45 |
| ninefold | tiger, do you have gstreamer installed? | 15:45 |

| nictimju | ok, look at the messages what does it say there on the /dev, e.g. /dev/cdrw | 15:46 |

| spideyman | idefix did you try adding it | 15:47 |
| amenado | Mr_Cheeto what you claim is correct, in order to resolve ip addresses the client is referred to other name servers (which most you do not know) to resolve . | 15:47 |

| erUSUL | db92: creative's fault they even do not have decent windows drivers | 15:50 |

| Lolo316 | erUSUL The problem is imap | 15:53 |
| spideyman | idefix i use kubuntu so mine is called konsole but you should see it in your sysytem programs | 15:53 |
| dns53 | sirlark with raid 1 the files will be split between the drives, you need a kernel to boot, the kernel is distributed between the drives, grub does not know how to merge them together on it's own, instead create a /boot partition to store the kernel | 15:53 |
| Lolo316 | erUSUL the port is locked | 15:53 |

| dns53 | sirlark you basically have a chicken and the egg problem, you need the raid running to load the kernel, the kernel is not loaded to read the kernel files of disk, so you need this on another partition first | 15:56 |
| ne2k__ | I also have no idea what I did to make it suddenly stop working | 15:56 |
| idefix | yes I just opened it | 15:56 |
| spideyman | idefix open it and cd to the /media directory | 15:56 |

| RAdams | babo: its configurable | 17:25 |

| nooro | it needs the sudo to do all the stuff in "dostuff" but at the end I try to bring up firefox with a status report | 17:25 |
| firefly68 | mudit: i've only ever used primary partitions. i think u only need logical ones if you need more than 4 partitions on a physical disk | 17:25 |
| nooro | and firefox won't start in the users gui session | 17:25 |
| genii | mudit: You want partitions to be primary if possible. There is a max of 4 primary partitojns possible. | 17:25 |
| === PmDematagodaUbun is now known as PmDematagoda | ||
| nooro | I assume because we're sudo'd when it gets run | 17:26 |

| nooro | (right beside my dostuff icon is a firefox icon that works fine) | 17:26 |
| firefly68 | mudit: select primary partions then :) | 17:26 |
| mudit | do i need more partitions lol, | 17:27 |
| mudit | i m complete noob | 17:27 |
| firefly68 | mudit: the three you've described are normal for a workstation | 17:27 |
| nooro | so I'm thinking in the last line of the dostuff script I need to do something like | 17:28 |
| nooro | su - user && /usr/bin/firefox /home/user/scripts/results.html | 17:28 |
| nooro | to bring up that results.html status report after doing stuff | 17:28 |

| Adlai | jshriver: http://howto.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_configure_MPlayer | 18:03 |
| jshriver | just add vo=sdl? my config is blank | 18:03 |
| Adlai | that should get you where you need to go | 18:03 |
| soundray | Spliffster: you need to use a helper program like devilspie | 18:03 |
| soundray | !info devilspie | Spliffster | 18:03 |
| ubottu | spliffster: devilspie (source: devilspie): find windows and perform actions on them. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.21-1 (hardy), package size 28 kB, installed size 128 kB | 18:03 |
| Spliffster | soundray: is it possible devilspie is not in the repos ? | 18:03 |
| misieq | I'm told to "cp *.fw //lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/" and reboot | 18:04 |
| soundray | Spliffster: no. See above | 18:04 |
| Spliffster | soundray: ty | 18:05 |
| soundray | Spliffster: found it? Maybe you have to enable universe | 18:05 |
| Spliffster | soundray: i just got home, had 4 beers and can't read apt-cache search results anymore. Cheers c(_)! | 18:06 |
| EvilDennisR | Spliffster: light weight | 18:06 |

| Adlai | ummmmmmm search for segfault fglrx_dri.so b6b74000+f30000 | 18:30 |
| yooshi | I'm not familiar with cli why can't I just use the gui? | 18:30 |

| Adlai | my knowledge is reaching the end of its rope | 18:31 |
| localjoost | yooshi, you should be able to, did you install yourself? | 18:31 |
| yooshi | yeah I installed it myself | 18:31 |
| yooshi | I'm on gui but I can't create any folders in the filesys | 18:31 |
| nicola3 | hola soy de mendoza | 18:31 |
| theFATMAN | Billenium: you got it? | 18:31 |
| yooshi | I can create folders on the desktop | 18:31 |
| Billenium | im writing this all down first :P | 18:32 |
| yooshi | I can create folders on the desktop though] | 18:32 |
| Billenium | theFATMAN: some said reinstall gnome-applets and gnome-applets-data would work also... is this true? | 18:32 |
| yooshi | err my bad double post | 18:32 |
| localjoost | ahh, where are you creating folders? | 18:32 |
| theFATMAN | yes | 18:32 |
| akim | will the nvidia driver 174.04.15 be in the repos? | 18:32 |
| Billenium | should i just reinstall gnome-applets and gnome-applets-data then? | 18:32 |
| localjoost | because, you can't create folder everywhere without the right permissions... | 18:32 |
| theFATMAN | yeah, but you need to change the image as well | 18:32 |
| Adlai | Andycas: you could also try out the radeonhd driver, it's been working great for me on my gentoo box (although I don't have the largest graphics requirements...like 3d) | 18:32 |
| Billenium | my background? | 18:33 |
| yooshi | localjoost: well how do I? I guess I need root access to get those permissions? | 18:33 |
| Andycas | Adlai: I will, ill try to get some help from kernel and ati channels | 18:33 |
| theFATMAN | Billenium: you need the background image to be in your system, not online | 18:33 |
| theFATMAN | =) | 18:33 |
| Billenium | ohhh | 18:33 |
| localjoost | so, yooshi if you really need to create a folder outside of your home directory, and gnome doesn't let you, open up a terminal and go to the desired place you want to create a folder ( cd /var/www ) | 18:33 |
| yooshi | good lord... the font size sucks in pidgin | 18:33 |
| Billenium | Well how do i change it if i cant right click anywhere xD | 18:33 |
| Adlai | Andycas: good luck sir | 18:33 |
| localjoost | and do sudo mkdir (dirname) | 18:34 |
| localjoost | if you want to be able to write in that folder to, do: sudo chmod (dirname) 755 | 18:34 |
| localjoost | (so i believe) | 18:34 |
| localjoost | probably an easier way though :) | 18:34 |

| aguitel | cYgII: i have it | 18:35 |
| theFATMAN | Billenium: yep | 18:35 |

| localjoost | maybe, i usually just try ;) | 18:36 |
| theFATMAN | no p | 18:36 |

| cranshinibon | i thought it would work fine if i ran it through a virtual machine | 18:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | crashinibon: VMware player and server which are the free ones as far as I know won't suppourt it just as Workstation the paid for one won't. | 18:48 |

| powertool08 | Does anyone who got audacious from the repos have support for keyboard media buttons? | 18:56 |
| Kelen | why is there no control center option under system menu? | 18:56 |
| mynetdude | hmm, wonder if I can install x86 version of hardy rather than 64 | 18:57 |
| kyle__2 | but now Ubuntu mounts my neutral as /media/neutral. does anyone here know how to change that. | 18:57 |
| Kelen | :( | 18:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !/keys | 18:57 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 18:57 |

| shingen | any reason my Dell D610 would completely freeze up, leaving only the numlock and shift lights blinking? I'm running 8.04 hardy heron | 18:57 |
| mynetdude | does anybody know if there is any benefit to using 64bit vs x86 on a 64bit cpu assuming either will work? | 18:57 |
| shingen | and it's happened twice since I performed a clean install | 18:57 |
| powertool08 | K`zan: Jack_Sparrow: thanks | 18:57 |
| localjoost | mynetdude when i am looking in add/remove apps, i see ff2, but, i am on a 64b machine now, so wouldnr really know | 18:57 |
| localjoost | (to my knowledge 64bit software runs better on a 64bit cpu, correct me if im wrong) | 18:58 |
| K`zan | mynetdude: I have an 64x2 and unless something has changed to warrant it, I am still running 32bit - much didn't work for me under 64. But that was a while back now. | 18:58 |
| mynetdude | localjoost thats what I just said... I'm using 64b hardy on the machine its installed on due to the fact its an AMD64 so therefore that FF2 is also 64bit | 18:58 |
| localjoost | 64b works fine for me | 18:58 |
| localjoost | ahh | 18:58 |
| SaveFerris | any ideas why "Connect to 802.1x protected network" isn't showing up in my networking icon? | 18:58 |

| mynetdude | I think I'll just grab the x86 version | 19:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mynetdude it should still be decent.. have you turned off effects.. that will help | 19:01 |
| localjoost | Jack_Sparrow, i have 2gb RAM and 64bit, no problems here.. ubuntu doesnt even use my swap | 19:01 |
| K`zan | mynetdude: Seemed to solve a lot of problems for me, but others think differently... | 19:01 |
| ASULutzy | redback: you could either clicked system->administration->update manager and hit check, or you could type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and it will list all the potential things to install | 19:01 |

| bobstro | mynetdude: fwiw - google toolbar works on my FF3 on 64 bit. if you're installing 32 bit anyhow, no big deal but i'm curious what broke? | 19:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mynetdude system.. preferences.. appearance.. last tab.. | 19:03 |
| mynetdude | the default install is far less glamorous than the overbloated default XP glamour | 19:03 |
| mynetdude | bobstro really? it does? cuz I tried and it said that it was not compatible with 3.0 | 19:04 |

| SebNaitsabes | Redd: I was recommended a program to make sure I had the correct Nivida driver installed that worked great for that, and it also does ATI, so I suggest you install the same program and try that | 19:12 |

| zoldar | hello, after alsa stopped warking after some recent update, I've tried to replace it with oss. The change made surprisingly great difference (in plus) in sound quality. There's one problem though. When sound hits some high tones there'a a noticeable crackling. Something similiar happend in ALSA but it was because of PCM set to max. Any solutions for this ? | 19:20 |

| Boopop | Hi all, can someone help me set up Ubuntu on my Macbook? I'm having issues with build-essential | 19:28 |
| k1dugar | SebNaitsabes: graphical boot logos, introduced and developed by SuSE. | 19:28 |
| celine | \join brecouilles | 19:28 |
| AugCampos | Does any one try the ATI HD2400 PRO on 8.04 | 19:28 |
| R0Y | That link took me to a German (I think) site. | 19:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | k1dugar: ok well sure normaly I would go Grub2, but I haven't yet, since I am a bit worried that it will screw things up for me. here's why | 19:28 |
| Boopop | I try some of the commands on the Ubuntu for Macbook help page and it tells me "E: Couldn't find package build-essential" | 19:28 |
| Maxwell0983 | I've a problem, when I boot up my computer it just stops at the login and says "Authentication failed". How can I fix this, or how can I get my bookmarks out of .mozilla so that I can just format my system as when I try it says "permission denied" (less preferrable option) | 19:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop you need to enable the right repo for that.. | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info build-essential | 19:29 |
| ubottu | build-essential (source: build-essential): informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB | 19:29 |
| Boopop | ah right, how do I do that? | 19:29 |
| rogue_trader | does the ATI vs. compiz problem exist on other distributions as well? | 19:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | k1dugar: since of the ways my partitions are done now and what not. I have the Ubuntu /boot/Grub folder that is not used by Grub itself since it's on another parttion, but yes everytime it installs a new kernel it will update the menu.lst for that one. and I have to edit my Grub partition manualley | 19:29 |
| Boopop | Synaptic Package Manager? | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop system..admin.. software sources and make sure main is enabled | 19:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | k1dugar: so menu.lst in the Ubuntu install gets updated, but I am actasully using another Grub on another partition | 19:30 |
| steven_ | Does there anyone know how to make the hp 6510b's fingerprint work? | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install build-essential | 19:30 |
| k1dugar | SebNaitsabes: if you install grub2 from synaptic for smooth transitional | 19:30 |
| SebNaitsabes | k1dugar: and I assume if I install Grub 2, it will update the Grub in Ubuntu that is not being used. if that goes over my MBR with that Grub, well then fine, but if not well then | 19:31 |
| raisefist | anyone have experience with acer laptops ??? | 19:31 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:32 |

| Ramzi | can anyone help me install my ATI All in wonder usb 2.0 tv tuner? | 19:33 |
| * SebNaitsabes Many wireless companies do not suppourt Linux, hence why a ton of wifi hardware does not just work with Ubuntu and other distros | 19:33 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | albech You mean Intel hasnt provided a driver | 19:33 |
| AugCampos | cam some one recomend a good Graphics card for Ubuntu 8.04 (and low price) | 19:33 |
| Maxwell0983 | AugCampos:What are "Foxmarks"? | 19:33 |
| albech | its been working flawless in 7.10 | 19:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | AugCampos: just get a Nivida one or something | 19:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop It should be as simple as removing the # in front of the one for MAIN | 19:34 |
| dfgas | how do i enable xdmcp? | 19:34 |
| doubled | yeah nvidia cards work no problem :) | 19:34 |
| AugCampos | [Maxwell0983] is a Firefox plugin | 19:34 |

| stemount^ | or kdm | 19:35 |
| dfgas | i remember how | 19:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar no | 19:35 |
| Fishscene | failed | 19:35 |
| Maxwell0983 | AugCampos: I cannot install it as I cannot access any of my firefox files. | 19:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | k1dugar: you said I can fix with the Live CD. so it is using the correct Grub for everything? | 19:35 |
| dfgas | how do i add users to samba. is there a easy program to set that up and all the shares? if so what is it? | 19:35 |
| Boopop | Jack_Sparrow - This is what it's got for main, I *think* - deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted | 19:36 |
| albech | so there much be some different way 8.04 handles drivers from 7.10 | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop yes... | 19:36 |
| Boopop | no # | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Boopop then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install build-essential | 19:36 |

| adityag | IndyGunFreak: dont u think we must introduce those games in linux ? | 19:40 |
| whik | thanks jack sparrow | 19:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 19:40 |
| R0Y | Jack did you see the txt? | 19:41 |
| adityag | SebNaitsabes: i guess those games like mines, nibble,chess right ? | 19:41 |
| rafiek | hello world | 19:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roy I dont know why your link is asking me to download a file.. that isnt how it is supposed to work | 19:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | adityag: its not our decision, write the makers of the games.. would you try to play a windows game on a macintosh, if there was no macintosh?.. same idea... if software developers would make linux versions of their games, there would be no issue | 19:41 |
| R0Y | http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m1473804a | 19:41 |
| R0Y | it is a text file. | 19:41 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !pm > UbuntuProblems | 19:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | adityag: lol well there are those, but in fact there are a lot of good native Linux games to | 19:41 |
| R0Y | Opera should tell you that it is indeed a text file | 19:41 |
| R0Y | or any other browser... | 19:42 |
| rafiek | .msg | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | roy read on how the pastebin is supposed to work | 19:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | SebNaitsabes: there are good native linux games.. but what i was saying, his best bet was to stick w/ native linux games | 19:42 |
| jrib | ffeynman: create one... google "dotfiles" if you want, but it's better to just create one with the options you want | 19:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | yes and I was asking if he knew what that meant | 19:42 |
| k1dugar | UbuntuProblems: Try reading post #9 to solve your problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 19:42 |
| ffeynman | jrib: ok... | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I am leaving to go see a movie.. play nice | 19:42 |
| adityag | IndyGunFreak: i understand that....but we should make linux attractive to those game developers | 19:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | SebNaitsabes: well i would certainly hope he did. | 19:42 |
| R0Y | I just pasted the text into their pasting place and clicked send. | 19:43 |
| LordOllie | Weird my pointer changes when I move it between monitors. | 19:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | adityag: again, this is not "OUR" decision, if a software developer chooses to make a game for Windows, and not for Linux, what does "we" have to do with it, | 19:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | some of the propritary games companies do their games for Linux, but the open source and free software community have done a load of games that are at the same kind of standard as the propritary sold for games | 19:43 |

| Twan | I updated 8.04 with all 115 or so updates, and now my network configuration doesn't work (I have no Internet, and am not allowed to change the configuration), and I can't change the resolution. | 20:33 |
| Andeh | SebNaitsabes: And its lovely handwriting tool. | 20:33 |
| shingalated | Can anyone make any sense of this? http://pastebin.com/d71a222d2 I am trying to install sun's version of Citrix and the installer is telling me that the users / groups are not set up correctly. | 20:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: you could try audacity in Wine as well :) | 20:33 |
| Andeh | SebNaitsabes: Eww | 20:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: also Windows Live Messenger apparnatlly works well in Wine 1.0 | 20:34 |
| Andeh | SebNaitsabes: It's buggy enough on linux! | 20:34 |
| airstrikeivanov | Hey JC_Denton_, my native DX works! No sound, and the maps are broken, but the game ittself starts natively now. | 20:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: not tryed yet myself | 20:34 |

| Andeh | SebNaitsabes: Ive missed a lot in the 4 months i was offline | 20:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: the WIne you get from Ubuntu repo is an older one, but no Wine 1.0 is much better | 20:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: the instructions are on the Wine site for getting Wine 1.0 and it is much better now | 20:34 |
| airstrikeivanov | Andeh: I recommend using the latest possible version of Wine. You can get easy install instructions from the Wine site. | 20:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: it's worth another try | 20:35 |
| airstrikeivanov | Andeh: The latest version has a lot of bugfixes and new DLL files and such. | 20:35 |
| Mo | i'm installing and it freezes while trying to creat ext3 file system for / in partition #1 of scsi7 | 20:35 |
| ipod_touch | i would love to have it so that grub doesn't come up and i'm able to boot up Ubuntu automatically | 20:35 |
| Mo | any ideas what this could be? | 20:35 |
| Oli``` | I recommend compiling Wine with sudo checkinstall (instead of sudo make install) so it installs as a deb (and can then be replaced by a repo version if they update before you) | 20:36 |
| airstrikeivanov | ipod_touch: Impossible. A boot manager is REQUIRED for any OS to start. | 20:36 |
| hacksilber | hi hi | 20:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | Andeh: this is how it should be for Windows apps in Linux. run them in Wine, if no luck even after messing around and really got to have that app fine an XP VM | 20:36 |
| jtmoney | airstrikeivanov: ahh, it was apache2.2-common that had the files | 20:36 |
| jtmoney | thank you | 20:36 |
| airstrikeivanov | jtmoney: Ah, no problem. | 20:36 |
| shingalated | airstrikeivanov, yes, but there is a way to make it come up for only a second, no? | 20:36 |
| airstrikeivanov | jtmoney: It took me forever to fix the same problem. | 20:36 |
| ipod_touch | i have a windows boot manager for me to start ubuntu | 20:36 |
| airstrikeivanov | shingalated: I believe so. | 20:37 |
| ipod_touch | what i don't want is that timer that comes up before Ubuntu boots up | 20:37 |
| airstrikeivanov | ipod_touch: Bad idea. I recommend using GRUB if you have bboth Linux and Windows. | 20:37 |
| shingalated | I think it is in /boot/grub/menu.lst somewhere | 20:37 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yeah, I'm not too sure. I normally don't mess with the boot manager. | 20:37 |
| shingalated | the delay before booting the defualt OS | 20:37 |
| ipod_touch | well the thing is, Wubi doesn't install with grub coming up when the computer first turns on | 20:37 |
| shingalated | oh...it's wubi | 20:38 |
| shingalated | then I have no idea | 20:38 |
| meeper | anybody know how to make ubuntu actually bring a window to the front instead of just flashing its icon? | 20:38 |
| ajopaul | can i ask a evolution related query here? or is there any other appropriate place? | 20:38 |
| ipod_touch | click it | 20:38 |
| erUSUL | Oli```: why compiling when you have the "official" winehq repo for ubuntu ?? | 20:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | ajopual: Evoloution why not just use Mozilla Thunderbird instead? | 20:39 |
| welkin | nand r u there..... | 20:39 |
| airstrikeivanov | ajopaul: Go ahead, Evolution is an Ubuntu-supported program. | 20:39 |
| meeper | ipod_touch: I'd like it to come to the front automatically... | 20:39 |
| Twan | I updated 8.04 with all 115 or so updates, and now my network configuration doesn't work (I have no Internet, and am not allowed to change the configuration), and I can't change the resolution. | 20:39 |
| ipod_touch | Thunderbird is just so...ugly | 20:39 |
| SaveFerris | does anyone know why the "Connect to 802.1x protected network" doesn't show up in my network configuration? | 20:39 |
| ipod_touch | oh | 20:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | ipod_touch: lol that's what themes are for? | 20:39 |
| nand | welkin: you got some tutorial? | 20:39 |
| ipod_touch | thats true | 20:39 |
| ipod_touch | but i would like a theme similar to firefox 3 | 20:39 |
| SebNaitsabes | which FIrefox 3? Gnome look XP or Visduh? | 20:40 |
| ipod_touch | Vista | 20:40 |
| welkin | ya nand i got new ideas..... the first one is to study c and c++ completely | 20:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | indeed having a Firefox 3 theme for Linux for Firefox and Thunderbird that looks like Visduh's and another one that looks like XP's would be pretty good | 20:40 |
| ajopaul | i already have a gmail configured on it, its been long since i installed it on ubuntu, now any new accounts i add the mails are fethced to the global inbox folder | 20:40 |
| ajopaul | and not to a seperate one like i have for gmail. | 20:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | in fact there is a Firefox 3 Visduh or XP look for Firefox 2 | 20:41 |

| graft | dangit... is it too much to ask that i have a browser that isn't full of bugs and crashes all the time?! | 20:43 |
| nand | welkin: 22, I'm the Ubuntu brainstorm developer | 20:43 |
| Twan | I updated 8.04 with all 115 or so updates, and now my network configuration doesn't work (I have no Internet, and am not allowed to change the configuration), and I can't change the resolution. | 20:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | graft: which browser? | 20:44 |
| welkin | nand wat is brainstorm developer | 20:44 |
| logan_ | hi, my screen only goes up to 800x600 so its really small...how do i change it so it can go higher? | 20:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | logan_: try system prefrences screen resoloutoin | 20:44 |
| andycas | Is it possible to use 2.6.25.7 kernel with ATI fglrx? I just did a distro reinstall because it kept giving me white screen of death, only way to get it to work was to use vesa but that is unacceptable!! | 20:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | andycas: graphics card issue? | 20:45 |
| nand | welkin: just a software developer :) | 20:45 |
| logan_ | SebNaitsabes: the 800x600 is the highest it goes | 20:45 |
| andycas | SebNaitsabes: Its more like a driver fault | 20:45 |
| welkin | k... can u suggest me wat r the languages i need to study to built an os completely by me?? | 20:45 |
| dfgas | how do i get my wireless networking to log on to my network and give me a static ip right away | 20:45 |
| dfgas | without having to login | 20:45 |
| welkin | k... can u suggest me wat r the languages i need to study to built an os completely by me?? nand | 20:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | andycas: yes that's what I meant what type of graphics card? | 20:46 |
| andycas | SebNaitsabes: I posted some xorg logs and it was having some sort of buffer errors | 20:46 |
| Twan | Assembler | 20:46 |
| andycas | SebNaitsabes: Xpress1150 | 20:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | andycas: so it's not Nivida or ATI? | 20:46 |
| daigorobr | dfgas: you should edit /etc/networking | 20:46 |
| graft | SebNaitsabes: opera, right now... but konqueror for kde4 is a mass of bugs, and firefox won't resolve DNS for me | 20:46 |
| zifth | hi, I am using Xubuntu, I have ff3, installed flash. But still cannot watch youtube and other flash icons. I installed the 3 pluggins which it asked me to install but still its not working | 20:46 |
| graft | SebNaitsabes: so i can't browse with anything but lynx, basically | 20:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | graft: try Galeon and Epiphany :) | 20:47 |
| ubuntuguy-bz | what do i do if i accidently deleted /etc/init.d/network ? | 20:47 |
| nand | welkin: I'd say first that building your own OS is just irreaslistic :) But you should really start by learning C. C is a subset of C++, so it's better to start by it. | 20:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | graft: altough maybe they sort of use FIrefox, but try them anyway | 20:47 |
| andycas | SebNaitsabes: ofcourse its an ati card, i wouldnt use flgrx then | 20:47 |
| andycas | SebNaitsabes: fglrx* | 20:47 |
| airstrikeivanov | Agreed | 20:47 |
| airstrikeivanov | fglrx is horrible | 20:48 |
| daigorobr | dfgas: like in here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo | 20:48 |
| welkin | nand i know that is tough.... but i just want to know tat..... is c and c++ is enough?? | 20:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | andycas: ok so install this envyng-gtk | 20:48 |
| ajopaul | i already have a gmail configured on evolution, now any new accounts i add the mails are fethced to the global inbox folder instead of its seperate folder like gmail's | 20:48 |
| nand | welkin: it will be difficult because you will have to learn much (read, a few months) before doing very simple things. But once you start to get it, it's wonderful :) | 20:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | andycas: or if you want the KDE one envyng-qt | 20:48 |
| graft | SebNaitsabes: yeah those don't work, same bug as firefox is crippling them, whatever it is | 20:48 |
| nand | welkin: with C/C++, you can basically do whatever you want. | 20:48 |
| joetheodd | I put [ 0 2 * * * apt-get dist-upgrade -y ] in root's crontab, but for some reason it's not working every night at 2AM. Can anyone see a problem? | 20:48 |
| welkin | nand where r u frm?? | 20:48 |
| andycas | SebNaitsabes: envyng didnt work with the custom built kernel, kept giving me DRI errors because the kernel does not have fglrx module compiled in it | 20:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | graft: could just be simpally a currupted profile | 20:48 |
| mcclarren | hey, guys.I need to get a serial port working in Ubuntu for Dosemu. Running lshw shows "serial UNCLAIMED" What does this mean, and how do i resolve it? | 20:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | andycas: ok I can't help then | 20:49 |
| Yatas | is ubuntu better in playing almost any videos in comparing to windows ? | 20:49 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yatas: Yes. As long as you have the right codecs. | 20:49 |
| graft | SebNaitsabes: nah, i've deleted my profile a billion times | 20:49 |
| Yatas | right codecs ? | 20:49 |
| hacksilber | Yatas, videos require codecs to play, same concept in windows | 20:50 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yatas: Just like in Windows, to play certain formats you require the right software to be able to display the content. | 20:50 |
| daigorobr | andycas: you should read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what is wrong with it. | 20:50 |
| Yatas | shouldn't ubuntu be doing that for me while i sit back ? | 20:50 |
| airstrikeivanov | Yatas: If you try to play a video without the proper codecs, Ubuntu will ask you to find them to install. | 20:50 |
| hacksilber | Yatas, ubuntu will go out and find the codecs for you if you don't have them to start with | 20:50 |
| airstrikeivanov | It DOES NOT do it automatically. | 20:50 |
| andycas | Just one question, will the opensource radeon driver support 3d acceleration (compiz)? | 20:50 |
| SebNaitsabes | !multimedia | 20:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 20:50 |
| hacksilber | Yatas, linux in general is better for video given less overhead on the operating system | 20:51 |
| Yatas | ahh good | 20:51 |
| daigorobr | andycas: for your board, I think it should. | 20:51 |
| graft | andycas: if it works on your card, it will | 20:51 |
| Yatas | thats what i wanted to hear | 20:51 |
| crdlb | andycas: not on that card | 20:51 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | Got no acpi support after latest packet upgrade. What to do? | 20:51 |
| graft | andycas: what's your card? | 20:51 |
| andycas | graft: ATI Xpress 1150 | 20:51 |
| airstrikeivanov | Hm, odd, I can't delete the mounted ISO I just mounted. | 20:52 |
| airstrikeivanov | I mounted it to ~/.mount and now I can't empty the .mount folder. | 20:52 |
| airstrikeivanov | Keeps saying "Read-only file system", even when I sudo it. | 20:52 |
| meeper | I guess there's no way to do it. This is terrible. | 20:52 |
| mynetdude | yay... FF3/google work for me now too | 20:52 |
| RxDx | does ubuntu still have the problem that reduces the HD life-time? | 20:53 |
| meeper | Anybody know how to get gnome/metacity to actually bring a window to the front instead of just flashing its icon in the appbar? | 20:53 |
| daigorobr | airstrikeivanov: maybe because it is read-only. don't isos get mounted like normal cds? | 20:53 |
| airstrikeivanov | I mounted a Starcraft ISO | 20:53 |
| airstrikeivanov | Normally when I do this it lets me delete it to mount the Brood Wars expansion | 20:53 |
| MrKeuner | hi all, has Ubuntu switch to some different updating policy. I do not remember installing that much updates in feisty. Don;t get me wrong i am happy with frequent updates, just curious | 20:53 |
| mcclarren | anyone able to assist with a serial port? Seems Ubuntu recognizes it, but it is not enabled. | 20:53 |
| daigorobr | Wait a sec... But did you unmount it successfully? | 20:53 |
| airstrikeivanov | No | 20:53 |
| mynetdude | anybody know if linux supports dualview desktop extension on dual monitors? I know it can clone for sure | 20:54 |
| airstrikeivanov | I use gnome-mount and click Unmount and it doesn't unmount | 20:54 |
| mynetdude | well at least gnome ubuntu | 20:54 |
| daigorobr | mynetdude: which gfx board? | 20:54 |
| mynetdude | daigorobr I don't remember exactly, its an ATI mobility | 20:54 |
| daigorobr | airstrikeivanov: maybe sudo umount ~/.mount | 20:54 |
| airstrikeivanov | "Device is busy" | 20:54 |
| Timi | So, I've heard that the new iPods don't work well with ubuntu, is this true? | 20:54 |
| airstrikeivanov | Odd, but Wine isn't running anymore.... | 20:55 |
| daigorobr | mynetdude: I got dualhead working with the open source drivers in an xpress200m, flawlessly. | 20:55 |
| daigorobr | airstrikeivanov: i hate when this happens. there is something still using your iso. | 20:55 |
| airstrikeivanov | How can I find out what it is? | 20:55 |
| airstrikeivanov | Cause the INstall.exe/Wine program ended a while ago. | 20:55 |
| daigorobr | mynetdude: but can't help 'cause my ati laptop is home. | 20:55 |
| mynetdude | daigorobr AFAIK I can get ubuntu to clone what i see on the laptop on an external display, but what about extending the desktop rather than cloning? | 20:55 |
| welkin | nand any way thanks a lot.............. bye bye\''''''''''''''''' | 20:56 |
| daigorobr | mynetdude: skim the net for xrandr tutorials. | 20:56 |
| daigorobr | airstrikeivanov: usually i give up when it happens. | 20:56 |
| mynetdude | daigorobr ok, well I was just wondering if it could... I'll have to try it and see what it does by default first | 20:56 |
| airstrikeivanov | daigorobr: How do I find out what's using the ISO? I need to mount the next disk. | 20:56 |
| SaveFerris | any ideas on why the "Connect to 802.1x protected network" doesn't show on my network configuration (Hardy) | 20:56 |
| daigorobr | airstrikeivanov: apparently there is a way to find it through ps. | 20:56 |

I can reset it with 'xset dpms force off; xset dpms force on' but that is really tedious. | 21:06 |
| ipod_touch | hmm, what file system does your HDD have? | 21:07 |
| macmouse | I /think/ this would work ashgarg: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ | 21:07 |
| ipod_touch | NTFS? | 21:07 |
| GreenThumb | hello! | 21:07 |
| ipod_touch | FAT32? | 21:07 |
| pilpi | dbindner, i have a similar problem, too | 21:07 |
| apophis | fat32 should be mounted everywhere ;) | 21:07 |
| ashgarg | ipod_touch, im not sure hwat file system my External HDD has, let me take a look | 21:07 |
| dbindner | It's pretty maddening. | 21:07 |
| ipod_touch | oh ok | 21:07 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: was it formatted differently previously? | 21:07 |
| ashgarg | macmouse, what does the application you have just sent me do? | 21:08 |
| macmouse | ashgarg:it could have two different partition tables on it | 21:08 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: I'm sorry, I thought you were trying to read linux files from the mac... I mis-understood what you were saying | 21:08 |
| ipod_touch | hmm, i know it can't be a driver issue | 21:08 |
| jsalazar | i have a touchscreen on my computer and need help getting it set up | 21:08 |
| ipod_touch | it's just a HDD | 21:08 |
| ashgarg | no macmouse, it's the otherway around - need to copy the mac files through linux | 21:08 |
| macmouse | ah | 21:09 |
| dbindner | pilpi: Right now I'm seeing my screen go off about every 45s or 60s. | 21:09 |
| GreenThumb | I'm having trouble accessing my share folder on my windows computer from ubuntu, but no problems accessing my share folders on ubuntu box from windows box | 21:09 |
| macmouse | well, linux does have beta support for HFS | 21:09 |
| macmouse | so you could mount it... do it was read only though | 21:09 |
| ipod_touch | hmm, you think maybe /host/ leads to the mac partition? | 21:09 |
| jsalazar | i have followed some stuff online but i get the error of a server already active for display 0 | 21:09 |
| Watchbot07 | jsalazar: yo | 21:09 |
| ashgarg | okay - could you tell me how to mount it? | 21:09 |
| GreenThumb | i've searched high and low and all answers i've come up with are for enabling sharing in linux | 21:09 |
| pilpi | dbindner, oh, for me it just dims the backlight as if savinf the battery | 21:09 |
| pilpi | hi (3rd time, next: giving up). am I in vein asking about how to get ubuntu 8.04 installer encrypt only the part that is given to it, so that other OSes can keep the space they already have? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=831469 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787950 | 21:09 |

| ashgarg | ipod_touch: there's no /host/ folder - or maybe im just missing it | 21:10 |

| ashgarg | macmouse: could you tell me how to mount the mac os through ubuntu? | 21:10 |
| macmouse | you might have to recompile the kernel to enable HFS support though.. no idea what what ubuntu has it set by defualt | 21:10 |
| gordonjcp | pilpi: no-one actually uses disk encryption anyway | 21:11 |
| DIL | !nfs | GreenThumb | 21:11 |
| ubottu | GreenThumb: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 21:11 |
| daigorobr | NetEcho: I really don't know if it is possible, let me check, tho. | 21:11 |
| pilpi | gordonjcp, is this possible to do with the alternative CD installer, and if it is, how? the only automatic option is to do the whole hd | 21:11 |
| macmouse | mount -t hfsplus <blah blah> | 21:11 |
| gordonjcp | pilpi: I don't know, I've never tried | 21:11 |
| dbindner | pilpi: Mine goes black. If I tilt the screen into the light, I can just barely see. I'll try with the power unplugged, maybe that will work differently (i.e. I could live with dim better than black). | 21:11 |
| NetEcho | daigorobr had it working under 7.10 | 21:11 |
| macmouse | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/mounting-hfs-volumes-under-linux-521189/ | 21:11 |
| daigorobr | NetEcho: well, so it is possible. | 21:11 |
| gordonjcp | pilpi: I honestly can't see a use for disk encryption, and the performance hit would be crippling | 21:11 |
| KyleK | how can I stop some network interfaces from swapping around? like eth0 and eth1 switching which card they're attached to | 21:11 |
| GreenThumb | yeah, i've set it up and accessing the share files from my windows system works like a charm, but when i try to navigate in ubuntu to the windows share files i get a message that the contents can't be viewed | 21:11 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: I'm checking out the link just now. What is the "blah blah" in the mount command you said? | 21:12 |
| apophis | gordonjcp, you definitly have no idea about encryption | 21:12 |
| amine | I need Proxy for Ubuntu ?? | 21:12 |
| pilpi | gordonjcp, it is not very wise to take a laptop on any longer journey to be stolen without it. do you have research data to show it really is crippling? | 21:12 |
| daigorobr | NetEcho: you could try to debug it by calling "compiz --replace" from command line and googling the errors that come by. | 21:12 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: well, it depends upon what type of HD you have and which position it is | 21:12 |
| DIL | !nis | GreenThumb | 21:12 |
| ubottu | Factoid nis not found | 21:12 |
| macmouse | you could try doing fdisk /dev/hda | 21:12 |
| apophis | pilpi, its not crippling, its about 1 - 4% on a modern cpu | 21:12 |
| NetEcho | daigorobr been doing that for a while heh | 21:12 |
| macmouse | assuming it is an ide drive | 21:12 |
| ashgarg | how can i check that? (sorry for being so ignorant) | 21:12 |
| ipod_touch | Ok, is Ubuntu installed in the Mac? | 21:12 |
| pilpi | apophis, this is a thinkpad t41 1600mHz, 512 mb? | 21:12 |

| ramribeiro_ | hello. i have one toshiba notebook with intel GM965 card video and when i use googleEarth the screen be black but the system don't freeze. can someone help me? | 21:13 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: try running "fdisk /dev/hda" or "fdisk /dev/sda" | 21:13 |
| macmouse | as root | 21:13 |
| ashgarg | ipod_touch: Ubuntu is installed on a Macintosh, yes | 21:13 |
| macmouse | and you either get a list of info or nothing | 21:13 |
| GreenThumb | ok, thanks for those links. i'll get reading! | 21:13 |
| Azalar | ramribeiro: you dont have it set to space mode do you | 21:13 |
| ipod_touch | oh ok, and it's not through Parallel's is it/ | 21:13 |
| ipod_touch | ? | 21:13 |
| Wolvenhaven | guys how do i get pidgen through an ssh tunnel, set the ports manually to the port i assign the ssh tunnel to? | 21:13 |
| apophis | pilpi, you won't play games on that machine anyway... and the power is only used when accessing the harddisk, you wont see a difference in working with or without a harddisk encryption | 21:13 |
| macmouse | ipod_touch: yeah, you can run ubuntu on a mac natively | 21:13 |
| ashgarg | ipod_touch: it's not through parallels, its native | 21:13 |
| pilpi | i wonder if it would be possible to thread all these discussions live so one could just follow some of them | 21:14 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: i did fdisk /dev/sda | 21:14 |
| ashgarg | now it asks for a command | 21:14 |
| ipod_touch | oh ok, so there should be a /host/ folder | 21:14 |
| macmouse | p | 21:14 |
| murlidhar | i don 't get the option to hibernate. what is the problem? | 21:14 |
| ipod_touch | type that in any folder | 21:14 |

| ipod_touch | do you see anything or does an error come up? | 21:14 |

| apophis | pilpi, thats why you should always adress the person you are talking to ;) so the line gets highlighted... and for a hightraffic channel its quite possible to follow ;D I wonder myself | 21:15 |
| pilpi | apophis, ok. so do you have an idea about the question about keeping a small ntfs partition? or does the "use full disk" really preserve ntfs as is implied here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787950 | 21:15 |

| Azalar | ramribeiro: heh ok, must be the drivers then | 21:17 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: yeah... well, you can quit it and try them sequentially, since we know what disk it is now | 21:17 |
| apophis | pilpi, I am not familiar with that method of fulldisk encryption, do you have any pointer to the implementation or the program used? | 21:17 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: so /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc | 21:17 |
| murlidhar | i don 't get the option to hibernate. what is the problem? | 21:17 |
| ipod_touch | if you find the right partition, copy your files from there to your HDD | 21:17 |
| daigorobr | analyser: I never used a gsm modem, but I read nm0.7 should do it. | 21:17 |
| gordonjcp | pilpi: disk encryption isn't really worth the trouble | 21:17 |

| apophis | pilpi, ty | 21:19 |
| Azalar | apophis: how do you mean, full disk encryption? is can do entire partitions no problem | 21:19 |
| daigorobr | analyser: will get one as soon as 3g gets to my region. | 21:19 |
| ipod_touch | ashgarg, goto the places menu on the menu bar | 21:19 |
| trainpic | ok... | 21:19 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: traditionally, a mac has 3-4 different partitions for drivers and disk information, then one for the actual data - but because you are running ubuntu, it is going to be a custom layout | 21:19 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: should it say hfsplus after or before i mount it? | 21:19 |
| analyser | daigorobr: but this default dialer of ubuntu is too simples, i cant configure the first and second string of modem's dialing | 21:19 |

| analyser | daigorobr: i looked for it, but im not a ubuntu user, i just dont know where is the confs | 21:20 |
| apophis | pilpi, it looks like its above the partition, so in principal it should be possible to just encrypt part of it | 21:20 |
| trainpic | kikr, on the downstairs computer, try lspci > devices_list, and put the devices_list file on a USB drive and then /msg me the contents | 21:20 |

| pilpi | apophis, surely, but I am doing this for the privacy | 21:21 |
| gordonjcp | pilpi: <shrug> | 21:21 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: you could also run "df -k" and if any of them match up, then you know those ones are linux and being used | 21:22 |
| Flannel | pilpi: Manual partitioning, make encrypted LVM on the physical volumes that you created, and it won't touch anything else. You'll *probably* want to have an unecrypted boot separate from LVM | 21:22 |
| yooshi | ahh much better | 21:22 |

| ashgarg | macmouse: am i doing something wrong? | 21:22 |
| apophis | Azalar, I mean that the root partition is encrypted, where the OS resides | 21:22 |
| ipod_touch | ashgarg, do you think maybe the Lacie 120 GB isn't compatible with the Mac? | 21:23 |
| daigorobr | analyser: so try nm0.7 it can really help you. | 21:23 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: what do you mean? | 21:23 |
| henry | hello | 21:23 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: you need to run "sudo bash" and type in yourpassword | 21:23 |

| Ven]n | how do i install ccsm in a default ubuntu installation+ | 21:23 |
| pilpi | Flannel, so you know that there is no easier way, it is either total annihilation by the installer or doing it completely independently? | 21:23 |
| yooshi | ok, got another question... is there any way to show users on the "welcome" screen in ubuntu like winXP and Vista do it? | 21:23 |

| DIL | pilpi: most compuyers allow you to put a pw on the bios and on the hdd - if computer is stolen wont be easy to use unless they know how to clear it and the hdd cannot be used w/o pw | 21:24 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: i'm in root, tried the mount command you said above and it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2" | 21:24 |
| apophis | DIL, thats not true, the HDD is always readable even with a BIOS Pass... you just have to open the laptop | 21:25 |
| kikr | trainpic, sent | 21:25 |
| dbindner | pilpi: It seems that I can run on battery more successfully.... It's dim (as always on battery) but not black so far. | 21:25 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: ah good, that means that # is not right | 21:25 |
| yooshi | any way to make user accounts appear on ubuntu welcome screen rather than having to type in the username? | 21:25 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: so change it to 3, and try again | 21:25 |

| macmouse | ashgarg: and 4 and then 5 | 21:25 |
| analyser | daigorobr: i found a gnome pppon | 21:25 |
| Neku | hey is there a ubuntu version of orbit downloader or something similar | 21:25 |

| kikr | trainpic, most likely it is integrated. it's a dell pc. | 21:27 |
| Avenged-Revenge | aedrill, just ask the question | 21:27 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: no, i can boot into and use the mac os perfectly fine. i just cant access the external hdd from it and need to copy the data somehow | 21:27 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: yeah... how did you format that external HD? | 21:27 |

| Gleizer | Hello all | 21:28 |
| aedrill | well | 21:28 |
| aedrill | I'll ask once more, maybe | 21:28 |
| Avenged-Revenge | anyone? after an update that required restart, I lost all sound. | 21:28 |
| Gleizer | Anybody have problems with no machine nx | 21:28 |
| trainpic | kikir: OK. Can you look up the model of Dell PC and tell me what chipset the NIC card uses? It doesn't show up in the lspci file. | 21:28 |
| ipod_touch | ashgarg, sometimes with my HDD or flash drive, if it doesn't come up on a particular computer or linux, what i do is goto another pc and safely eject the device, then goto linux or the other pc and try again, and it usually works | 21:28 |
| DigiJo_Linux_beg | all hints i found to get wifi to work dont help | 21:28 |
| aedrill | could you help me with wine? | 21:28 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: there is, but I don't know of an easy way to do it | 21:28 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | aedrill | 21:28 |
| ubottu | aedrill: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 21:28 |
| apophis | !ask | aedrill | 21:29 |
| apophis | ups sorry | 21:29 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: maybe sda is the external disk? | 21:29 |
| ashgarg | ipod_touch: okay i'll try that. it's working successfully with linux, so if i safely eject it from here and then reboot into the mac it may work? | 21:29 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: is that computer online right now? | 21:29 |
| Gleizer | Hello, anybody can help me nomachine nx? | 21:29 |
| daigorobr | DigiJo_Linux_beg: it went smooth for me. Maybe #ubuntu-eee could help. | 21:29 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: ah you may be riiight | 21:29 |
| andyca1 | Are ati open source drivers comparable to fglrx? | 21:29 |
| ipod_touch | i would give it a shot | 21:29 |
| aedrill | so | 21:29 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: dev/sda6 is "Lacie d2 120gb" | 21:29 |
| ipod_touch | because sometimes even my devices do that | 21:29 |
| trainpic | andyca1: no not really | 21:29 |
| daigorobr | andycal: for me (xpress 200m) they are better. | 21:30 |
| AHA | I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and it finds my wireless network fine, but when i try to connect to it i just get the blue spinning circle with the two grey dots and it doesn't connect | 21:30 |
| DigiJo_Linux_beg | oki thx, i try that channel | 21:30 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: unfortunately that computer is not online right now | 21:30 |
| MrKeuner | hi all, has Ubuntu switch to some different updating policy. I do not remember installing that much updates in feisty. Don;t get me wrong i am happy with frequent updates, just curious | 21:30 |
| trainpic | AHA: are u using WPA or WEP? | 21:30 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: ok, so that makes sense then... so try doing "fdisk /dev/hda" then | 21:30 |
| arooni | Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:30 |
| arooni | how do i fix? | 21:30 |
| AHA | trainpic, WPA | 21:30 |
| DIL | ashgarg: if you boot with knoppix you could chroot and do it that way or just mount as root the drives a use the co command | 21:30 |
| kikr | trainpic, not sure what went wrong? | 21:30 |
| gavi | i have an interesting question, if i am using pidgin and a msn user is using msn, can they see if im really not idle? please assume that pidgin is set to be idle on last message sent rather than movement of mouse or keystrokes | 21:30 |
| aedrill | I have installed wine, and then I tried to run Baldurs Gate from CD, what should I do, to force Wine to run setup.exe? | 21:30 |
| DIL | ashgarg: cp command | 21:30 |
| blumm | hello | 21:31 |
| Gleizer | Crash installation nxserver, anybody help... | 21:31 |
| daigorobr | arooni: xmms2, maybe | 21:31 |
| EvilDennisR | gavi: I don't think msn reports idle times | 21:31 |
| blumm | does anybody know how to port-forward within virtualbox ? | 21:31 |
| Avenged-Revenge | sound not working after update... anyone got any idea | 21:31 |
| Avenged-Revenge | s | 21:31 |
| trainpic | kikr: No, the kernel doesn't even detect your card as hardware. See if the card is PCI and if so is it slotted fully | 21:31 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: that makes sense.. it is the hda drive | 21:31 |
| gavi | EvilDennisR, are u sure, i think the windows live might | 21:31 |
| arooni | daigorobr, is there a gUI for that? | 21:31 |
| trainpic | APA: did it ask you for the passphrase? | 21:31 |
| ipod_touch | ashgarg, did it work at all? | 21:31 |
| db92 | linux insists on making me have the monitors refresh rate lower than it normally should be... how can i increase it anyway to what its meant to work with? >> | 21:31 |
| apophis | MrKeuner, 8.04 is still young and some major bugs were found (the worst bug ever too :)) will probably settle (thats IMHO) | 21:32 |
| daigorobr | arooni: synaptic. | 21:32 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: ok, so try the same thing but with /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2,etc | 21:32 |
| daigorobr | arooni: under system -> admin | 21:32 |
| arooni | daigorobr, no;; xmms2 appears to be command line only | 21:32 |
| EvilDennisR | gavi: Leme ask.. | 21:32 |
| gavi | im gona ask in windows | 21:32 |
| MrKeuner | apophis: which specific bug are you refering to as the worst | 21:32 |
| ipod_touch | Safely unmount it, then try using the HDD on a Mac | 21:32 |
| EvilDennisR | gavi: I'm 99% sure though | 21:32 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: trying to mount it now | 21:32 |
| gavi | EvilDennisR, ok thanks | 21:32 |
| gavi | EvilDennisR, you could be right | 21:32 |
| daigorobr | arooni: no luck, then. Sorry. | 21:32 |
| apophis | MrKeuner, the debian SSH bug which was probably the most expensive and most severe bug ever found in open source software, the imparct was huge | 21:33 |

| MrKeuner | apophis: ah, I know that one a little. But what is huge about it? | 21:33 |
| macmouse | does anyone know if ubuntu re-formats external drives as ext2 by default? | 21:33 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: you're my hero!! | 21:33 |
| MrKeuner | macmouse: not if you do not ask it to do | 21:33 |
| daigorobr | arooni: in fact, i see no xmms in my repos either. | 21:34 |
| arooni | daigorobr, wonder what happened | 21:34 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: whew! | 21:34 |
| joaopinto | macd, ubuntu does not reformat external drives unless you tell him to do so, with the format you specify | 21:34 |
| TuniX12 | hello is this story true : http://boycottnovell.com/2008/06/07/ubuntu-remix-codecs/ | 21:34 |
| apophis | MrKeuner, Every single encrypted connection in the last 2 years with a debian (and derivates like ubunut) machine was basically unencrypted, :) lets hope your bank hasnt used ubunutu | 21:34 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: thank you so much, i really appreciate it. you guys are amazing - this will help a lot | 21:34 |
| joaopinto | TuniX12, keep on topic ! | 21:34 |
| ashgarg | ipod_touch: you too, thanks a lot - loads of help | 21:34 |
| ipod_touch | did it ever show up on the mac? | 21:34 |
| macmouse | ashgarg: make sure to not touch/write any new files to it, only read the files | 21:34 |
| MrKeuner | apophis: but isn't that true for all root exploits | 21:34 |
| enneth | Alright.. I'm soon gonna freak out. NOTHING works when I remove a harddisk that is not the root disk. If I remove it it just runs a check on the disk and says that the file system contains errors.. Is it really impossible to remove ONE worthless disk and then everything f*cks up? | 21:35 |
| TuniX12 | joaopinto: so it is true!! | 21:35 |
| Gleizer | nxserver troubles installation... help! | 21:35 |
| TuniX12 | OMG | 21:35 |
| goldins | hello | 21:35 |
| MrKeuner | apophis: I am aware that ssh bug is not a root exploit | 21:35 |
| daigorobr | arooni: lemme check if it is in any ppa | 21:35 |
| goldins | for some reason the new firefox refuses to connect through a proxy :-/ | 21:35 |
| enneth | The root disk contains errors i.e. | 21:35 |
| ashgarg | ipod_touch: i havent tried that yet, will do so soon.. | 21:35 |
| joaopinto | TuniX12, do not be dumb, it is not true, but this is not to chat about every news that some people decides to write, if your question is not support related, use ubuntu offtopic instead | 21:35 |
| ashgarg | macmouse: i'll make sure only to read stuff.. thanks! | 21:35 |
| ipod_touch | ok, i hope my trick works for you. | 21:35 |
| enneth | The disk I am removing is not even in GRUB, som what could be the problem? | 21:36 |
| daigorobr | arooni: https://launchpad.net/~kirkland/+archive | 21:36 |
| trainpic | While I wait for the people I'm helping, where would I ask about the inclusion of the MadWifi drivers that support the AR242x under AMD64? I hate recompiling for every new kernel :-| | 21:36 |
| apophis | MrKeuner, The Problem is that SSL is so widely used :) Your encrypted emails could've been compromized, encryption is everywhere :) | 21:37 |
| daigorobr | trainpic: I think madwifi is tainted by non-gpl code. so it won't be included. | 21:37 |
| kikr | trainpic, i just checked. it is integrated into the mother board | 21:37 |
| MrKeuner | apophis: I understand but there will always be bugs in any software | 21:38 |
| arooni | daigorobr, whats that | 21:38 |
| daigorobr | arooni: it is a repository with xmms in it. | 21:38 |
| trainpic | But it is in restricted... because it is used for other Atheros cards. I have had other Atheros cards use and included madwifi driver on Ubuntu. I know it's there, I just need the latest version | 21:38 |
| MrKeuner | apophis: assuming good people are more than bad people we will detect them before much happens | 21:38 |
| apophis | MrKeuner, yes! But not every bug has such an impact ;) I dont care if FF3 crashes every 3 months | 21:38 |
| daigorobr | arooni: xmms was removed due to numerous crashes, apparently. | 21:38 |

| joaopinto | if you use.. | 21:39 |
| trainpic | tara0101: what happened to make your sound stop working? did you change a setting, install something? | 21:39 |
| trainpic | Did anything seemingly related happen before that? | 21:39 |
| MrKeuner | joaopinto: with that user's rights, yes | 21:40 |
| tara0101 | trainpic: there was a system update thing, then it asked me to restart. Upon restart I lost all sound | 21:40 |
| Gleizer | nxserver, anybody can help me? | 21:40 |
| tara0101 | and I lost all my sliders | 21:40 |

| trainpic | hm... try booting with the previous kernel, (select under grub at boot) see if that helps. | 21:40 |
| thiebaude | tara0101:reinstall your sound driver | 21:41 |
| Neku | how do u download last fm tracks on ubuntu? | 21:41 |
| daigorobr | blumm: is it even possible? | 21:41 |
| tara0101 | thiebaude how would I do that?? | 21:41 |
| trainpic | XtremAlRaven: try the same | 21:41 |
| blumm | daigorobr: i hope so :) | 21:41 |
| joaopinto | MrKeuner, yes, the ability to be able to remote login with a server which is not owned by you, is a severe problem | 21:41 |
| trainpic | tara: drivers are part of the kernel, see what I said | 21:41 |

| tara0101 | trainpic, were you telling me to use the old kernel? | 21:43 |
| joaopinto | airstrike, from a terminal type: lshw | 21:43 |
| keegan | hello , how do i set up a ad-hoc network on ubuntu , can u direct me to some documentation | 21:43 |
| kikr | trainpic, wow. it appears that the owner disabled the integrated network interface in the bios :( | 21:43 |
| yooshi | how do I use software from a repository I setup in hardy? | 21:44 |
| trainpic | if you reenable it does that fix things? | 21:44 |
| trainpic | tara: yes | 21:44 |
| airstrikeivanov | Sweet | 21:44 |
| airstrikeivanov | I -thought- something was up when my System Monitor reported TWO cpus | 21:45 |
| airstrikeivanov | lshw only reports a single 3.0GHz P4 | 21:45 |
| joaopinto | airstrike, maybe you are using hyperthreading ? | 21:45 |
| airstrike | someone stole my nickname :( | 21:45 |
| kikr | trainpic, yeah it works now | 21:46 |
| airstrikeivanov | Oh, true, I am | 21:46 |
| kikr | thanks | 21:46 |
| airstrikeivanov | It has HT enabled | 21:46 |
| trainpic | kikr: cool, glad you found the problem | 21:46 |
| airstrikeivanov | I've never had or used Hyperthreading before though so I don't know how it works | 21:46 |
| yooshi | has anyone here used repositories? | 21:46 |
| joaopinto | airstrikeivanov, that explains it, for the software it's seen as 2 cpus ;) | 21:46 |
| joaopinto | yooshi, everyone which installs software... | 21:46 |
| ompaul | yooshi, you do every time you do a security update and it is now most of us add software to systems | 21:47 |
| airstrikeivanov | Oh nice | 21:47 |
| NetEcho | howcome when I try to change system sounds to another .wav file it doesn't work | 21:47 |
| yooshi | ompaul: even if I use the add/remove to add software? | 21:47 |
| joaopinto | yooshi, yes | 21:47 |
| gordonjcp | ompaul: speak for yourself, I add software to systems by hand-carving the bits on the drive platters with tiny tiny chisels | 21:48 |
| ompaul | yooshi, if you use the system tools yes | 21:48 |
| X-tremAl_Raven | <trainpic> Rebooted using previous kernel. Still got nothing good. | 21:48 |
| yooshi | joapinto: ok well I setup a repository manually to get google picasa but now how do I add that software? | 21:48 |
| airstrikeivanov | Hm, what is seahorse-agent and vino-server? | 21:48 |
| airstrikeivanov | I've never seen those before. | 21:48 |
| * yooshi prefers the system tools it knows where to put them and all that... less hassle by hand | 21:49 | |
| keegan | how do i set up a ad-hoc network on ubuntu | 21:49 |
| yooshi | ofc I could install it without using the repro but then again | 21:49 |
| keegan | can u direct me to some documentation | 21:49 |
| yooshi | and I think repros help with getting updates better | 21:49 |

| peter86 | Im looking for help with NVIDIA drivers for ubuntu | 21:50 |
| * Narcissus waves | 21:50 | |
| joaopinto | yooshi, Synaptic Package manager, make sure you update the repositories info, then search for picasa | 21:50 |
| Flannel | yooshi: Add/remove only lists a small portion of all the software in the repositories. You should use synaptic package manager to see everything | 21:50 |
| Narcissus | How can I help you peter86? | 21:50 |
| vocx | yooshi, if you have the repo in your "sources.list" then type "sudo aptitude install <package>" where package would be picassa or however it is named. | 21:50 |
| yooshi | ahh ok ty | 21:51 |
| peter86 | Narcissus, I heard, that installing nvidia graphic cards is very easy under Ubuntu | 21:51 |
| ompaul | !3rdparty | yooshi | 21:51 |
| ubottu | yooshi: Packages contained in 3rd party repositories are not included in Ubuntu for a reason. Whether this be poor packaging standards, bugs or malicious authors.

| joaopinto | metrekare, are you using hardy ? | 21:54 |
| vocx | koki__, what is krusader, what special characters? it may mean is has no support for unicode, you may ask the developers or file a bug report. | 21:54 |

| adam7 | metrekare, if you run firefox from the command line, what do you get? (just open the terminal and type firefox) | 21:54 |
| Narcissus | do "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run" then | 21:54 |
| vocx | koki__, is that a new file manager? | 21:55 |
| koki__ | nope | 21:55 |
| peter86 | Narcissus, yes - exactly sudo sh NVIDIA(...).run - the installer is running but it says Im under X server | 21:55 |
| joaopinto | peter86, I have the same card and I am using the drivers from the repositories, no problems | 21:55 |
| koki__ | it's here for some time, remember using it with kubuntu 6.04 | 21:55 |
| metrekare | adam7:it says it isn't installed | 21:55 |
| adam7 | ok | 21:55 |

| adam7 | metrekare, sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox | 21:55 |
| joaopinto | peter86, you should not install from nvidia unless you have a strong reason to do so | 21:56 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, yes, it works fine, but I would like to see the diffrence betwen open and closed drivers | 21:56 |
| jrib | peter86: erm, the closed ones are in the repositories | 21:56 |
| metrekare | adam7:ok, but I'm sure I have installed it, it is in my start list. I install again anyway | 21:56 |
| joaopinto | peter86, erm, the one from the repositories is also closed, i mean, if you are using the restricted driver | 21:56 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, jrib hm... how to check drivers version? | 21:56 |

Is there a configuation file on disk I can edit? | 21:56 |
| adam7 | metrekare, wait, try this: firefox3 at the terminal | 21:56 |
| peter86 | Narcissus, I did that five minutes ago, also nvidia-settings or smth like that | 21:57 |

| vocx | superkuh, also check out the launchpad page, maybe it's a know issue for fspot | 21:58 |

| koki__ | vocx: not really | 22:00 |
| Jigme_Datse | joth: maybe there isn't a network that it can connect to? | 22:01 |
| koki__ | i'll try copying it with console | 22:01 |
| joth | There is, because it can detect it and start to connect sometimes - but then it stops, and can't detect it any more. | 22:01 |

| Chrysalis | when do you use gksu or gksudo or sudo whats the difference? | 22:02 |
| joaopinto | peter86, assuming you have nvidia-glx-new installed, yes | 22:02 |
| ipei | al, sorry. Didn't see you msg. But, yes, I want to run in high graphic mode. | 22:02 |
| vocx | !sudo | Chrysalis | 22:03 |
| ubottu | Chrysalis: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 22:03 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, is nvidia-glx-new drivers closed or open ones? | 22:03 |
| joaopinto | Chrysalis, gksudo addresses some environment setup specific to graphical apps, unlike sudo | 22:03 |
| joaopinto | peter86, closed | 22:03 |
| a1 | ipei: goto System>Preferance>Apearance>Visual effects and chose the one u want | 22:03 |
| vocx | !gksudo | Chrysalis | 22:03 |
| ubottu | Chrysalis: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:03 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, does ubuntu has some 3d application where can I practicaly see the efect of good working drivers? | 22:03 |
| joaopinto | peter86, glxinfo | grep -i direct | 22:04 |
| joaopinto | of you want pratice, just install a 3d game, example, nexuiz | 22:04 |
| ipei | al, But the problöem is that I can't enable nvidias accelerated driver. If I do so Ubuntu just start in "Low graph mode" and I need to reset my xorg.conf file via recoverymode | 22:04 |
| J2 | i just noticed my system doesnt like it when i do suspend. so now i was fixing my partitions using "sudo fsck -y -t ext3 /dev/xxxx" | 22:05 |
| J2 | worked well on all partitions but one where I get bla blabla "Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/xxxx" | 22:05 |
| J2 | any ideas? | 22:05 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, http://pastebin.com/mc9fd437 | 22:05 |
| peter86 | seems like it dont work | 22:05 |
| vocx | J2, don't manipulate partitions if they are mounted | 22:05 |
| DRebellion | J2, well, the "magic number" is used to identify file types/filesystems, etc. | 22:05 |
| a1 | ipei: have u gone to system>administration>hardware drivers ? | 22:06 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, i tried to install those closed drivers from nvidia site, meaby I just broke something | 22:06 |
| J2 | vocx / Drebellion - they arent mounted since ubuntu doesnt even recognize what sorf of partition it is since I did suspend | 22:06 |
| jonsmith420 | im new to linux i have installed wubi on my sony vaio laptop nr series, my wireless card isnt working can someone help me?????????// | 22:06 |
| ipei | Yes. But the thing was that I was stupid enough to try the drivers from nvidias site >.<. So now I can't enable it. | 22:06 |

| joaopinto | peter86, I dont use the nvidia installer for a long time, eventually you have installed them over the package ones | 22:07 |
| J2 | drebellion / vocx - linux couldnt recognize any of the partitions, but after i did the fsck they all got fixed but this last one (the most important one!!!) | 22:07 |
| peter86 | joaopinto, how to get back - to first drivers version? | 22:07 |
| Boopop | On OSX I hardly have to touch the trackpad to move the cursor, whereas on ubuntu I have to press my finger down - Which option do I change in xorg.conf to change this? | 22:07 |
| evilbug | Boopop- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 22:07 |
| Boopop | Yes I've looked at that | 22:08 |
| joaopinto | peter86, does the nvidia script provide an uninstall option ? | 22:08 |
| vocx | J2, I would say this is a job for "rebooting" !!! It also works in Linux. | 22:08 |
| Boopop | but it doesn't mention my problem | 22:08 |
| evilbug | Boopop- i've had that issue with 7.10 but it worked fine with 8.04 | 22:08 |

| ipei | al, I just tested to start ubuntu with the older kernel number or something in the grub menu... It worked with that. I believe that the nvidia driver did something strange... | 22:10 |

| yooshi | hey joaopinto, I installed the app from the synaptic but its not in my applications menu, how do I get it there? | 22:14 |
| nickrud | ipei, more accurately, 3d party drivers that haven't been massaged by people who know what they are doing | 22:14 |
| superkuh | None covered what I am experiencing. Thank you for your help, though, vocx. | 22:14 |

| unstable | evilbug: How do I take 6 1 gig DV files, and mesh them together, so I can edit them all at once with kino? | 22:21 |
| joaopinto | yooshi, try "picasa" from the terminal | 22:21 |
| vocx | apophis, I know | 22:21 |
| Boopop | evilbug - Thats fixed it I think, thanks | 22:21 |
| ipei | nickrud: Yeah... I know, but I thought "nvidia" was a trust able source :P | 22:21 |
| yooshi | joaopinto: well I'd like to be able to have it as a menu option too but I'll try that | 22:22 |
| Baltazaar | Just re-installed Ubuntu on a new 7K SATA disk on my ThinkPad. Runs smooth... | 22:22 |
| evilbug | unstable- never used it much before...i guess you just import them into the playlist and drag them into the timeline. | 22:22 |
| joaopinto | yooshi, Righ Click on Applications, Edit Menu | 22:22 |
| evilbug | unstable- that's what i usually do with final cut pro. | 22:22 |
| joaopinto | and add a menu entry | 22:22 |
| evilbug | Boopop- no worries. | 22:22 |
| crdlb | vocx: what video card do you have? | 22:22 |
| vocx | crdlb, S3 Unichrome Pro, from VIA | 22:23 |
| bloodrock | yooshi you could also add a launcher to desktop for that program too | 22:23 |
| ipei | nickrud: But I'm learning. I wont do that again... -.- Thanks for the help! | 22:23 |
| evilbug | unstable- once you import them and put them in the timeline,the export will make it one file in the format you want. | 22:23 |
| crdlb | vocx: it's possible that VIA cards might get good 3d acceleration soon; VIA seems to care about fixing their linux drivers | 22:24 |
| Baltazaar | Anybody reading the "Official" Ubuntu books? Just subscribed to one from Safari Online... That'll be fun bed reading... | 22:24 |
| yooshi | bloodrock: don't think I'd want to clutter up my desktop.. wouldn't that slow things down? | 22:24 |
| NetEcho | Does ubuntu have a control panel like OSX? | 22:24 |
| vocx | crdlb, considering that this chipset was released around December 2005, it was about time. | 22:24 |
| bloodrock | yooshi no | 22:24 |
| yooshi | and yes running picasa from terminal worked and brought up the media detector | 22:24 |
| Beats | Hey guys im tryiung to play my games and all of them lagg. It just happened. How can i stop this lagg. (The games are running through WINE) | 22:25 |
| evilbug | NetEcho- not really. | 22:25 |
| joaopinto | Beats, try asking on #winehq | 22:25 |
| yooshi | bloodrock: still... too cluttered of a desktop would make me commit suicide :( | 22:25 |
| evilbug | brb. | 22:25 |
| apophis | Beats, use a faster computer :) | 22:25 |
| Beats | I have a fast computer | 22:25 |
| Beats | it has never lagged | 22:25 |
| apophis | what Game? | 22:25 |
| Beats | Counter strike, Half Life, guild wars, Wow, | 22:26 |
| Beats | all of them | 22:26 |
| yooshi | are any of them even compatible with wine? | 22:26 |
| apophis | Well then set your settings lower | 22:26 |
| apophis | yes they work, but... dont ask ;D | 22:26 |
| evilbug | back. | 22:26 |
| apophis | Beats, lower your settings or get a faster computer :) | 22:26 |
| yooshi | sure they work.... but | 22:26 |
| lockd | I installed Ubuntu-server kernel for improved memory but nvidia driver won't load.. is this normal? | 22:27 |

| Beats | I have an alienware with Intel core extreme processer i don need a faster computer | 22:27 |
| bloodrock | yooshi k what bout adding a launcher to your panel | 22:27 |
| apophis | vocx, But I dont want Germany in a final :P | 22:27 |

| NetEcho | Core Extreme or Core 2 Extreme? | 22:27 |
| Baltazaar | lockd: you could just recompile the default... | 22:27 |
| joaopinto | apophis, if you don't have any wine specific knowledge then it would be smarter to forward the user to #winehq, instead of providing useless help | 22:28 |
| lockd | Baltazaar: oh, thanks.. well, I'll still have to get the modules for nvidia won't I? | 22:28 |
| joaopinto | Beats, since your issue is wine specific, please try #winehq | 22:28 |
| apophis | Beats, you dont get it, do you? Emulation needs time, its normal that its slower under Linux, reduce your settings, you can't expect to be able to play with the same settings as in windows :) | 22:28 |
| Baltazaar | but the Nvidia driver loads as a module, so if it is under /lib/modules/"your kernel, you could try sudo modprobe nvidia | 22:28 |
| joaopinto | apophis, again, you are misinformed, wine is not a pure emulator, and some games are know to perform better under wine than they do natively on windows | 22:29 |
| lockd | Baltazaar: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia | 22:29 |
| apophis | joaopinto, I know! | 22:29 |
| lockd | Baltazaar: that's when I try to modprobe | 22:29 |
| apophis | better under wine? ;) lol | 22:29 |
| Nathan406 | can someone tell me a software that installs windows drivers! | 22:30 |
| aguitel | i can't raise/lower/mute volume any ideas about this problem ? | 22:30 |
| vocx | Nathan406, it is silly to do that? | 22:30 |
| Baltazaar | lockd: then install gcc and make, kernel-headers, and build the driver from Nvidia's site | 22:30 |
| Nathan406 | why | 22:30 |
| brightside | hi.. i have no sound. here is what i know: i have two devices (one onboard, and one pci), but my mixer recognizes both cards, and alsamixer settings are set to high and all channels are unmuted.. still, no sound.. what am i doing wrong? | 22:31 |
| Nathan406 | i cant get my sound card to work | 22:31 |
| lockd | Baltazaar: it says those are installed.. how can I be sure it's for the server kernel? | 22:31 |
| vocx | Nathan406, because it not the same operating system? | 22:31 |
| Baltazaar | the module you use is for the wrong kernel... lockd | 22:31 |
| joaopinto | Nathan406, you can't use windows drivers on linux, not for a sound card | 22:31 |
| kikr | anyone ever experience audio not working? | 22:31 |
| felixflores | hey guys i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8 and for some reason it didn't detect what video card i have, now its stuck at 800*600 resolution, how should i go about fixing this? | 22:31 |
| yooshi | how can I get the box on my desktop as shown on the ubuntu tour? | 22:31 |
| Mo | how do i disable a restricted driver i previously enabled | 22:31 |
| lockd | Baltazaar: or should I just remove all the other kernels (server and the old one that was updated from)? | 22:31 |
| Ramzi | can anyone help me install my ATI All in wonder usb 2.0 tv tuner? | 22:31 |
| Baltazaar | lockd: don't bother... | 22:31 |
| joaopinto | yooshi, please provide a screenshot link, to see if i am familiar with it | 22:32 |
| vocx | Mo, what driver? | 22:32 |
| Mo | ati video | 22:32 |
| Baltazaar | lockd: just download the right driver from Nvidia | 22:32 |
| yooshi | ah.. haven't done a screenshot in linux yet... I'll try | 22:32 |
| Nathan406 | my friend install the windows drivers for his video card | 22:32 |
| Baltazaar | It compiles for the running kernel | 22:32 |
| kikr | lscpi detects the audio card but i can't hear any sound | 22:32 |
| Nathan406 | and it works | 22:32 |
| Chrysalis | so basically, sudo for file operation etc and gksu for anything with a gui including gedit. . . i seem to be getting different results wether i use sudo or gksu with gedit, sudo gives me a file that needs premission to open and gksu does not | 22:32 |
| Nathan406 | so i think it may work | 22:32 |
| Xcaliber009 | Can anyone reference a good video DVD creation program? | 22:33 |
| Mo | vocx: was working just fine, installed the restricted driver, did a bunch of updates, now i get a white screen just after I login | 22:33 |
| yooshi | that was easy | 22:33 |
| niku_ | Xcaliber009: burning, or movie-dvd? | 22:33 |
| vocx | Nathan406, you obviously don't know what you are talking about, so I suggest you become more knowledgeable first | 22:33 |
| Nathan406 | so can someone tell me a software that installs windows drivers! | 22:33 |
| spideyman | Xcaliber009, qdvdauthor is excellent | 22:33 |
| hard3r | witam | 22:33 |
| Nathan406 | ok! | 22:33 |

| frostburn | Nathan406, windows vista | 22:34 |
| joaopinto | Nathan406, you can't install use windows drivers with linux, except for very specific cases | 22:34 |
| vocx | Baltazaar, he is trying to install a video card | 22:34 |
| spideyman | lol | 22:34 |
| frostburn | as for sound configuration, check out the alsa pages on either ubuntu or gentoo forums | 22:34 |
| Baltazaar | well that will not work | 22:34 |
| Baltazaar | different code | 22:34 |

| K`zan | Anyone know why adept ignores requests to install vmware server? | 22:35 |
| Nathan406 | mess up ma laptop | 22:35 |
| Nathan406 | dont care | 22:35 |
| joaopinto | K`zan, there is no vmware server available from the repositories... | 22:35 |
| vocx | Mo, well I think there is some menu under System > Preferences, or maybe just use the oopen source driver "nv" | 22:35 |
| Baltazaar | Use VESA! | 22:35 |
| K`zan | joaopinto: Err, adept says there is ?!?!? | 22:35 |
| spideyman | k'zan really | 22:36 |
| joaopinto | K`zan, not on the ubuntu repositories, only if you found a 3rd party one for it | 22:36 |
| frostburn | K`zan, there used to be, not any more, grab the binary from vmware sites and install it manually | 22:36 |
| Nathan406 | so there is no such think | 22:36 |
| K`zan | frostburn: Got it but evidentally the upgrade to 8.04 hosed it badly - can't remove old thus won't install the new :-(. | 22:36 |
| Nathan406 | thing* | 22:36 |
| joaopinto | K`zan, you can rm /etc/vmware, that does the trick | 22:37 |
| vocx | Nathan406, perhaps you should phrase your question better, not as a one-liner | 22:37 |
| apophis | Anyone else hears this noise from car-horns? ;) | 22:37 |
| K`zan | joaopinto: Thank you Sir, much appreciated - will give that a go. | 22:37 |
| frostburn | K`zan, nah just delete out the .. what joaopinto said | 22:37 |
| niku_ | k'zan: I think it just hoses the kernel module | 22:37 |
| K`zan | also, vmware is in adept... | 22:37 |
| joaopinto | frostburn, hum ? what's wrong with my advice ? | 22:37 |
| Nathan406 | ok! let me try! | 22:37 |
| Nathan406 | i need a | 22:38 |
| niku_ | you should be able to re-run the install script and it will work again | 22:38 |

| Nathan406 | that | 22:38 |
| K`zan | vmware server not installed no change Free virtual machine server from VMware | 22:38 |
| Nathan406 | i can install my sound card | 22:38 |
| frostburn | niku_, usually yes, but the install script is set up to not install if it's already installed, and if it wasn't installed cleanly before, it won't allow any new installations | 22:38 |
| * DIL says that must be an example of sarcasm | 22:38 | |
| K`zan | updating repos makes no diff, still there. Strange. | 22:39 |

| tommy_ | IndyGunFreak, so I am safe and can have peace of mind using Ubuntu for my netbanking etc as there is no keylogger or spyware that I need to worry about? | 22:52 |
| psyco | where are the icons for programs stored?? | 22:52 |

| offline | i need help here with my ubuntu hardy | 22:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | tommy_: sorry, i don't want to come off condescending and arrogant if i answer | 22:52 |
| tommy_ | offline, dont we all ;) | 22:52 |
| Ayabara | my network setup is broken. when I boot it won't connect to my wlan unless I reconfigure it manually | 22:52 |
| tommy_ | IndyGunFreak, its ok, just answer :) | 22:53 |
| apophis | onthefence928, Open this in your browser: /var/lib/mediatomb/mediatomb.html | 22:53 |
| Xcaliber009 | offline: state your question, for there might be an answer | 22:53 |
| Ayabara | how can I delete all the stored network settings to start over? | 22:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'd rather not take the chance.. sorry | 22:53 |
| broken_quiche1 | How do ATi's drivers compare to those of NVidia now-a-days? | 22:53 |
| tommy_ | IndyGunFreak, I understand. thanks anyway | 22:53 |
| Baltazaar | psyco: spread, but/usr/share/pixmaps would be a starting point | 22:53 |
| Xcaliber009 | ATI has crappy linux support, period | 22:53 |
| Ick | i opened VI and typed something out. i lost power before i got a chance to save the file, and vim -r doesn't find anything. i need the file pretty badly. what can i do? | 22:53 |
| tommy_ | I am safe and can have peace of mind using Ubuntu for my netbanking etc as there is no keylogger or spyware that I need to worry about? | 22:53 |
| offline | i got this "failed to add entry to user" everytime i login .. what's wrong ? | 22:53 |
| psyco | Baltazaar: TY | 22:53 |
| Oli``` | broken_quiche1: still worse although openish and improving faster | 22:53 |
| broken_quiche1 | I see. | 22:53 |
| broken_quiche1 | Best to stick with NVidia then? | 22:54 |

| dabaR | how do I set up NTLM authentication for Vinagre? | 22:54 |
| psyco | I said Ty, as in Thank You. | 22:54 |
| broken_quiche1 | Actually, I guess that would make more sense, since graphics cards are the thigns youre meant to replace fairly frequently if you're serious about high-end gaming according to some folks. | 22:54 |
| Baltazaar | psyco: TY? | 22:54 |
| tommy_ | does Hardy support digital cameras? | 22:54 |
| Xcaliber009 | broken_quiche1: ATI will work on ubuntu, as my laptop is running 8.04LTS, but it can be tricky to configure | 22:54 |
| Baltazaar | for what? | 22:54 |
| Ayabara | where's my network settings stored? like preferred network, wpa-key and stuff | 22:55 |
| broken_quiche1 | Thanks then Oli and Xcaliber00 | 22:55 |
| tommy_ | offline, what you want help with? | 22:55 |
| Oli``` | tommy_: you're far less likely to install one unknowingly. Anybody could write a keylogger. Linux won't stop something like that existing | 22:55 |
| broken_quiche1 | Ah, okay Xcaliber009 | 22:55 |

| tommy_ | offline, I have never seen that error ever. Backup your home folder and reinstall Ubuntu | 22:56 |
| Baltazaar | psyco: have been up for 48 hrs... | 22:56 |
| tommy_ | Oli```, u there? | 22:56 |
| Oli``` | tommy_: there are commercial and free antivirus programs (avg, for example) just like with windows but not running/installing anything from outside the repos is a good start | 22:56 |
| psyco | hahaha | 22:56 |
| psyco | nice | 22:56 |
| tommy_ | Oli```, so I should run AVG on Ubuntu to make sure I dnt have a keylogger installed on Hardy? | 22:57 |
| offline | tommy, reinstall ? oww :D any other advice pls ? thx anyway | 22:57 |
| stutter | do you mean to say...linux is not impervious to viruses like macs?! OMG! | 22:57 |
| nalioth | tommy_: you don't have it | 22:57 |
| b4l7424r | mirror mirror on the wall... | 22:57 |
| Baltazaar | b4l7424r: open /etc/apt/sources.list, and try changing the two letter code with a nearby country... | 22:57 |
| nalioth | tommy_: it was an affliction that affected Windows software | 22:57 |
| Pici | tommy_: Did you read the link from the bot about viruses on windows? | 22:57 |
| tommy_ | offline, there is no other advice as the error: ""failed to add entry to user" is unknown to us here it seems | 22:57 |
| Pici | er, linux rather. | 22:57 |
| b4l7424r | Baltazaar, ok, thanks | 22:57 |
| joaopinto | tommy_, did you read my previous answer to your question ? | 22:57 |
| tommy_ | nalioth, what dont I have? | 22:57 |
| nalioth | tommy_: windows problems | 22:58 |
| Baltazaar | b4l7424r: maybe check ubuntu mirrors first... | 22:58 |

| offline | ok thank you tommy | 22:58 |
| Oli``` | tommy_: I'm not telling you that. I'm saying you *can* use an antivirus to check now but unless you're planning on downloading random untrusted source code or binaries and running those, you should be fine | 22:58 |
| Baltazaar | whitekidney: go to a computerstore and say: this sucks | 22:58 |

| whitekidney | thats obviously not funny. | 22:58 |
| whitekidney | how do i update my video card drivers? (i have a gainward gefirce 8500gt) | 22:59 |
| whitekidney | uh oh, geforce * | 22:59 |

| joaopinto | tommy_, at the present time there is no know malware on the wild for linux | 22:59 |
| Baltazaar | whitekidney: that has a Nvidia chip | 22:59 |
| Oli``` | tommy_: btw, the same goes for Windows. Keep the system patched and updated and you'll be fine 99.999% of the time. | 22:59 |
| tommy_ | joaopinto, ok | 22:59 |
| stutter | has anyone successfully gotten synergy to start with gdm so you can use a shared keyboard to log in? | 22:59 |
| Baltazaar | so install Nvidia drivers whitekidney | 22:59 |

| tommy_ | nalioth, just out of curiosity, why cant Hardy get infected with a keylogger and be in my memory right now? | 23:05 |
| joaopinto | J2, and fsck does not provide the option to fix it ? | 23:05 |
| J2 | joaopinto - i could fix all fo them using fsck but the important partition isnt working ^_^ | 23:05 |
| barslow | it keeps crashing randomly, and for some reason when i highlight the file menu the txt disapears | 23:05 |
| tommy_ | barslow, reinstall FF? | 23:05 |
| infidelis | i have a problem- when i click on another workspace icon in the "workspace switcher applet", it no longer switches me to that workspace | 23:05 |
| barslow | i've tried that | 23:05 |
| [dmsuperman] | tommy_, you'd pretty much need to want a keylogger, or install some third party app without knowing about it | 23:05 |
| revilodraw | jaopinto; thank you, you are a legend | 23:05 |
| J2 | joaopinto - no, it gives that msg about the "bad magic number"... no idea what it means ^_^ | 23:05 |
| J2 | bart_burroughs - 8.04 | 23:06 |
| joaopinto | tommy_, you can't, the same way you can't on any OS unless it was totally developed by yourseld | 23:06 |
| tommy_ | [dmsuperman], I have installed a third party app called Keepass. How can I know that didnt contain anything nasty? | 23:06 |
| [dmsuperman] | I usually just research it, see what others have to say | 23:06 |
| joaopinto | J2, it seems to me that thart partition is seriously damaged, to an exten that fsck is unable to check it | 23:06 |

| J2 | joaopinto - whats dd? | 23:07 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, so on Hardy, I could have a keylogger from that third party app I installed and never know im infected? no way to check? | 23:07 |
| Baltazaar | tommy_: to read stdin from linux, you need rights. To install an app that does that you need rights. | 23:07 |
| tommy_ | rawb, lol | 23:07 |
| J2 | joaopinto - and no it cant be mounted, ubuntu doesnt even recognise that it is a ext3 partition | 23:07 |
| Flannel | tommy_: Did you install it with sudo? | 23:07 |
| psyco | what do you call the codes widgets use to find your place for weather updates???? | 23:07 |
| apophis | can we just ignore tommy now? | 23:07 |

| edburns | Same story with Synaptic package manager. | 23:08 |
| joaopinto | tommy_, your question is not related to ubuntu, but about using software in general, regardless of the OS you are using | 23:08 |
| dabaR | How do I set up a VNC connection to a PC that expects NTLM authentication? | 23:08 |

| tommy_ | Flannel, only used sudo to install it. | 23:08 |
| joaopinto | J2, dd allows to do raw reading, meaning, it doesnt care about the part format | 23:08 |
| edburns | Indeed the URL generated by both apt-get install and Synaptic Package manager does not exist. | 23:09 |
| J2 | bart_burroughs - well then I THINK its there. didnt test it yet though. if its not here try searching for the setting that is the equivalent to the domain name in windows. like "mshome" by default in windows | 23:09 |
| joaopinto | it would be just to check if you can do disk I/O to the device | 23:09 |
| edburns | Can someone please help? | 23:09 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, it now loads and runs without needing to use sudo all the time. is that a good sign? | 23:09 |
| nalioth | tommy_: have you run any programs using your 'sudo' password that you didn't know what they did? | 23:09 |
| Bart_Burroughs | J2, went into network settings, general, set domain as MSHOME which is how I see the xp machine on hardy and re-booted. is this correct | 23:09 |
| joaopinto | J2, if you do not, then you have an hw failure | 23:09 |
| tommy_ | nalioth, I cannot remember. | 23:09 |
| J2 | joaopinto - how can i read from it using dd? | 23:09 |
| Flannel | tommy_: When you installed it, it *could* have installed anything anywhere, including overwriting key system files to hide itself from you, etc. The question is, do you trust where you got it from? | 23:09 |
| Baltazaar | tommy_: check /etc/sudoers file... | 23:09 |
| J2 | bart_burroughs - yeah | 23:09 |
| joaopinto | J2, dd if=device of=/dev/null | 23:09 |
| harveyd | silly question probably but its annoying me, what to I type to quit a telnet session | 23:09 |
| tommy_ | nalioth, so it comes back to my original question... how can I check Hardy is not infected? will RKHUNTER check for that? | 23:09 |
| J2 | bart_burroughs - good luck ^_^ | 23:10 |
| tommy_ | Flannel, I do not know, so I cannot 100% trust it. | 23:10 |
| barslow | does anyone else's txt dissapear when you highlight the file menu in FF3 | 23:10 |
| nalioth | tommy_: i can 110% gaurantee you, that unless you've used your 'sudo' inappropriately, you're not 'infected' with anything | 23:10 |
| apophis | harveyd, depends on the protocl, but normally you just type: quit | 23:10 |
| apophis | (or exit) | 23:10 |
| joaopinto | tommy_, UNLESS YOU TRUST THE SOURCE YOU CAN'T BE SURE THAT AN INSTALLED SOFTWARE DOES NOT PROVIDE A TROJAN LIKE FUNCTIONALY, REGARDLESS OF THE OS THAT YOU USE | 23:10 |
| Flannel | tommy_: Checking for "regular' malware is easy enough. Its the rootkit stuff that's troublesome. However, a liveCD would be able to check your harddrive | 23:10 |
| joaopinto | sorry, it had to be CAPS | 23:11 |

| Baltazaar | so install a freakin virus scanner! | 23:11 |
| tommy_ | nalioth, but I used sudo when I installed Keepass .deb file from http://www.keepassx.org/downloads?PHPSESSID=33d7d7cc4f66153708ca2ab4232c55e2 | 23:11 |
| J2 | joaopinto - im doing a "man dd" and in the description it says "copy a file, converting and formatting according to the operands" | 23:11 |
| joaopinto | no, he just keeps repeating the same question about how to use a system in general | 23:11 |
| harveyd | and everything ive tested, including the escape characters, just get sent over telnet | 23:12 |

| thosgb | pucko the link you gave me, thats 150 results, and 15 pages | 23:32 |

| RabidWeezle | jake_needs_help, this might sound terrible, but try using a different cable? | 23:46 |
| HalphaZ | Oli```: can I scan also udp ports? | 23:46 |
| yooshi | what is the "super" key? | 23:47 |
| RabidWeezle | Ethernet cables are finicky | 23:47 |
| jengelh2 | yooshi: the one with power. | 23:47 |
| RabidWeezle | ctrl = super | 23:47 |
| rodolfo | hi all! | 23:47 |
| blkadf8 | everytime I reboot, im disconnected, becaus I have to re-login on my wpa, how do I make linux to login automatically? | 23:47 |
| jay_ | ok thanx | 23:47 |
| yooshi | oh... ok :D uh | 23:47 |
| jrib | yooshi: usually it is the windows key | 23:47 |
| soundray | yooshi: super is normally mapped to the right logo key | 23:47 |
| soundray | RabidWeezle: ctrl != super | 23:47 |
| J2 | just some general info since it was hard to find. best free software to fix broken sectors, deleted partitions and so on: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 23:47 |
| jengelh2 | yooshi: Super is the Windows key (either SuperL or SuperR) | 23:47 |
| jake_needs_help | RabidWeezle: Good suggestion, but nope, the cable is good, when I boot into Windows, it works fine... just when I'm using Ubuntu... :-( | 23:47 |
| rodolfo | I have a ton of linux kernel versions! If I remove some, will it put the system in danger? | 23:47 |
| yooshi | ok.. cuz whoever said that ctrl is super is wrong... if your'e using compiz | 23:48 |
| RabidWeezle | oh | 23:48 |
| jengelh2 | yooshi: there's a lot of noise in here.. | 23:48 |
| yooshi | hmm whats super n then? | 23:48 |
| prodigel | Lunar_Lamp: I'm seeing now in console this message: DPMS Deactivated\nDPMS Reactivated. | 23:48 |
| RabidWeezle | jake_needs_help, has it ever worked with linux? | 23:48 |
| jengelh2 | DUH | 23:48 |
| raisefist2 | rodolfo : no you wont really booting from the lastest kernel should be fine however if you want to be careful then keep the version before just in case | 23:48 |
| yooshi | yeah 1,300 people so far the most I've seen | 23:48 |
| soundray | yooshi: hold down the right logo key and hit n | 23:48 |
| Zanth | rodolfo: maybe you could try 'sudo apt-get autoremove' . if there are more recent versions of your kernel installed, Ubuntu will remove them and should remain bootable, using the most recent kernel installed. | 23:48 |
| yooshi | sweet | 23:49 |
| troythetechguy | After installing the updates today, the wifi on my lap top quit working. I re-installed restricted drives and all works fine now. Is this normal? Has anyone else experiences this? | 23:49 |
| yooshi | oooo compiz is my friend | 23:49 |
| jake_needs_help | RabidWeezle: It has never worked in this machine but I'm using the same brand NIC in 8.04 server just fine | 23:49 |
| mythril | I updated my kernel last night and now sound doesn't play (Ubuntu 7.10) where should I start to solve this issue? | 23:50 |
| soundray | rodolfo: you can safely remove older kernels. Just make sure you keep the one that's running -- check with uname -r | 23:50 |
| === jansen is now known as jansen_ferias_r0 | ||
| prodigel | soundray: "could not connect to socket" how does this sound in frontend console responses? | 23:50 |
| soundray | prodigel: is mythtv reporting that? | 23:51 |
| ninefold | In synaptic it said "Firefox 3.0b~5" and I just installed it and it was firefox beta 5. I absolutely updated synaptic and I am on the main server and it undoubtedly is, and says, beta 5 for me. Does anyone know what's going on? | 23:51 |
| prodigel | soundray: yes, between other stuff | 23:51 |
| prodigel | soundray: I'm running it from terminal, and that some of the output | 23:52 |
| rainabba | jengelh2: That was it (no any-any). Thanks. | 23:52 |
| jengelh2 | according to the irclog sizes, there is 5x more traffic in #ubuntu than in #fedora... probably 5x as much noise too | 23:52 |

| yooshi | heh, I hear #linux has lots but its not noisy | 23:52 |
| rodolfo | raisefist2, I'm afraid the current kernel is still under development. thus, are not considerable 'stable'. In fact, I don't read all the details that comes with linux kernel when the update manager gets it installed... | 23:52 |
| fortune82 | Hey, I'm having trouble starting up Ubuntu 8.04 | 23:52 |
| Simulous | hello | 23:53 |
| rodolfo | Zanth, sudo apt-get autoremove doesn't work | 23:53 |
| soundray | prodigel: I think you've found a clue there, but I can't think of anything to suggest (I'm a vdr user myself) | 23:53 |
| fortune82 | It boots up into the Command screen instead of the GUI | 23:53 |

| Zanth | rodolfo, well, how many kernels are installed? | 23:53 |
| Simulous | what would i use to enable me to play a couple of windows based pc games on unbuntu please? :) | 23:53 |
| Simulous | thanks | 23:53 |
| rodolfo | soundray, I will try that | 23:53 |
| jengelh2 | Simulous: Windows. | 23:53 |
| ]RandoM[ | not having any luck with the intel drivers for 4965 agn wireless.. i get connected but the speed is really slow like (20kB/s), the wifi led doesn't show up.. my router is a b router, but there isn't any problem connecting to it with the same card in vista | 23:53 |
| soundray | rodolfo: use (for example) sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic | 23:53 |
| Simulous | haha | 23:53 |
| ]RandoM[ | i'm thinking of trying ndiswrapper and using the windows driver | 23:54 |
| Zanth | dunno why, but autoremove worked for me. | 23:54 |
| plik | Simulous: you could try win4lin or wine | 23:54 |
| jengelh2 | Simulous: vmware. with Windows. | 23:54 |
| yooshi | I know, stupid answer... | 23:54 |
| rodolfo | Zanth I don't remember...maybe six or seven.. | 23:54 |
| moonchild___ | help please | 23:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | hey does nayone know if the 9800gtx has working drivers in linux and or works well? | 23:54 |
| rodolfo | soundray, --purge?! | 23:54 |
| Simulous | thanks mate. Not sure about the VM tho as it vitalizes the displayer adapt.. | 23:55 |
| moonchild___ | #metal | 23:55 |
| jengelh2 | great games come with great impact | 23:55 |
| ]RandoM[ | which windows driver do i use ? 32bit or 64? i am using amd64 distro of hardy | 23:55 |
| soundray | rodolfo: removes configuration files as well. Not sure whether it makes a difference in the case of kernel packages | 23:55 |
| fortune82 | Ubuntu 8.04 boots up into the Command screen instead of the GUI -- How to fix this? | 23:55 |
| jengelh2 | ]RandoM[: a 64-bit linux driver. | 23:55 |
| arakthor | So, I'm running 8.04 64bit edition, and Gimp is gimped because it can't open the menu-toolbox and some other stuff. Basically everything in the directory /usr/share/gimp/ is missing, and I tried reinstalling. any suggestions? | 23:55 |
| soundray | rodolfo: I use --purge as a habit | 23:55 |
| rodolfo | soundray, I know, but I'm pretty sure it will have some impact | 23:55 |
| ]RandoM[ | jengelh2: the intel linux driver isn't working well for me (i have it working right now). it's pretty new so it might be just buggy | 23:56 |
| soundray | rodolfo: it certainly won't remove anything that your current kernel still needs | 23:56 |
| ]RandoM[ | downloads are very slow.. lots of lost packets i think | 23:56 |
| ]RandoM[ | the driver is iwl3965 | 23:57 |

| ]RandoM[ | if i try ndiswrapper do i need to do anything so that it doesn't use iwl3965 driver anymore? | 23:57 |
| rodolfo | soundray, gonna try it then.. Zanth, raisefist2, thank you all! | 23:58 |
| soundray | linkmaster03: how do you mean 'clear'? | 23:58 |
| linkmaster03 | soundray: like if I type screen -ls and it shows previous sessions, how do I erase those sessions totally | 23:58 |
| jengelh2 | -wipe, read the mp | 23:58 |
| soundray | arakthor: /usr/share/gimp is still empty after you reinstall gimp? | 23:58 |

| Shadow_Ice | so... anyone around? | 23:59 |
| fortune82 | GAH | 23:59 |
| arakthor | soundray, yeh | 23:59 |
| soundray | linkmaster03: ideally, you should attach and exit them. If they aren't attachable, use screen -wipe | 23:59 |
