| soundray | MrKeuner: Ubuntu may use more energy than Windows because it tends to wake up the CPU from power saving states more frequently. You can trace such behaviour with powertop | 00:17 |

| yooshi | isn't linux java already sorta? | 00:25 |
| amrik | andycas: ok take a look at the link I sent you. it's the preferred way of building kernels on debian/ubuntu systems since they create .deb packages that are easy to install and manage. Note that you do not need to unlink /bin/sh from dash to bash; it works fine | 00:25 |
| darek | Dsiemasz | 00:25 |
| tommy_ | soundray, yes its windows but Ubuntu has it also in the repos | 00:25 |

| amrik | Hasone2: is your sound card still being detected? | 00:26 |
| amrik | !sound | Hasone2 | 00:26 |
| ubottu | Hasone2: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:26 |

| krono2k5 | is there a good howtoo guide to setup samba and ldap | 00:36 |

| MagicMoonLight | not tried that what does that one do | 00:36 |

| soundray | MagicMoonLight: no | 00:41 |
| soundray | MagicMoonLight: when you hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, you're out of X entirely. It's called the virtual console. | 00:42 |
| MagicMoonLight | sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart? that make more sense | 00:42 |
| RSGCooke | If I wanted to put Ubuntu onto a new laptop, are there any considerations I should make? | 00:42 |
| Rulz | ? | 00:42 |
| soundray | MagicMoonLight: Ctrl-Alt-F7 will take you back if X is still running on the virtual console number 7 | 00:42 |

| spideyman | yowshi, im gonna play with it too! | 01:12 |

| spideyman | yowshi, i got one to play with ff3 in the tuesday recap | 01:20 |
| unop | onats, you'll need the alternative CD to do that | 01:20 |
| yooshi | soundray: says works best with 1.4+ how does that make 1.6 not usable? hence 1.4+ | 01:20 |
| onats | unop, ok, will download it instaed | 01:20 |

| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

| unop | onats, it might actually be quicker to use apt to download only the updates you need rather than the entire alternate CD image containing a lot more that isn't used in the upgrade process | 01:22 |
| spideyman | yowshi, see persistance | 01:22 |
| yooshi | soundray: so I just remove 1.6 then install 1.5? | 01:23 |
| onats | unop, am doing it on apt now, but the download speed is not maximum of my bandwidth capacity.. its only half.. | 01:23 |
| yowshi | spideyman: but download helper isnt grabbing the file | 01:23 |
| soundray | yooshi: no, you don't have to remove anything (hence update-alternatives) | 01:23 |
| yooshi | ok | 01:23 |
| yowshi | spideyman: i need a better vid grabber download helper is a crap shot. you know of one? | 01:24 |
| yooshi | so I install 1.5 as I would in synaptics and then run the update command? | 01:24 |
| soundray | yooshi: yes | 01:24 |
| spideyman | yowshi, i use kde desktop! | 01:24 |
| === Kappaccino is now known as kappaccino | ||
| unop | onats, the speed you download at from someone else can be no more than their maximum upload speed -- if you aren't experiencing good speeds with apt, try using another mirror | 01:24 |
| yowshi | spideyman: how does that grab videos being played on firefox? | 01:24 |
| onats | ok.. let me try again | 01:24 |
| KyleK | whats GPT partition type? | 01:25 |
| MrRich | HI everyone :) | 01:25 |
| KyleK | does linux support it? | 01:25 |
| spideyman | yowshi, no meaning your more than likely in gnome so it would be different | 01:25 |
| MrRich | is there a chat room for beginners? | 01:25 |
| unop | MrRich, this is it. ask a question to the channel | 01:25 |
| gway9000 | MrRich: this is it | 01:25 |
| KyleK | MrRich: half the questions here are cupholder related yes | 01:25 |
| spideyman | yowshi, what r u using now? | 01:25 |
| MrRich | well cool | 01:25 |
| Solaris444 | hi guys, anybody know anything about resetting root passwords? | 01:25 |
| yowshi | spideyman: the download helper addon for firefox. it sucks i need something better to grab videos off firefox as they are playing | 01:26 |
| KyleK | Solaris444: sudo -i and then passwd | 01:26 |
| KyleK | orrr | 01:26 |
| yowshi | spideyman: something more reliable | 01:26 |
| KyleK | reboot and edit the grub line, add init=/bin/bash to the end | 01:26 |
| soundray | Solaris444: just boot in recovery mode, run 'passwd -l' and administer your system through sudo | 01:26 |
| Cyde | Can I actually download package source code using deb-src repositories? | 01:26 |
| Solaris444 | can't take the system offline KyleK | 01:26 |
| MrRich | I feel kinda stupid here but Ive been having so many problems with XP I thought I would try a new OS..and thought about Ubuntu...this is starting to seem out of my league though ..should I remove XP and just install U? | 01:26 |
| unop | Cyde, yes, that is their purpose | 01:27 |
| KyleK | Solaris444: and you cant sudo to root? | 01:27 |
| soundray | Cyde: yes | 01:27 |
| yooshi | grrr why does my wireless keep disconnecting me, this just started 10 minutes ago | 01:27 |
| Solaris444 | KyleK: no | 01:27 |
| Dug_Fin | Ok, i read that running the update from the command line might fix things, but I don't know how to go about that and I tried the alternate installer but never found a command to do the update | 01:27 |
| Cyde | Okay, so how do I do it? | 01:27 |
| un_dave | does anyone know how i can display the results of arbitrary terminal commands in the gnome panel, or somewhere in the gui in gnome? I have a raid 5 system it would be nice to see the status of. | 01:27 |
| spideyman | yowshi, http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Multimedia/Video/Video-grabber-script-45002.html | 01:27 |
| Shadow_Ice | how come when i try to istall it says creating Image and gets to 100% and tells me that it cant access the cd? | 01:27 |
| Dug_Fin | so I am stuck witha blue screen and a cursor | 01:27 |
| unop | KyleK, GPT is a partioning system that uses GUIDs to identify partitions, upto 128 seperate partitions are supported - and linux can deal with GPT | 01:27 |
| KyleK | Solaris444: you need root access to change the root password | 01:28 |
| deejaypip | MrRich: you should try dualbooting first and let me pull up an article that compares linux and windows | 01:28 |
| KyleK | cool | 01:28 |
| KyleK | I'll try it | 01:28 |
| soundray | Shadow_Ice: if you don't get an answer, don't just repeat -- rephrase | 01:28 |
| MrRich | ok | 01:28 |
| deejaypip | MrRich: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm | 01:28 |

| Herissy | automatic transmissions are for lazy people who can't drive. | 01:28 |
| gway9000 | Solaris444: /etc/shadow | 01:28 |
| deejaypip | MrRich: I converted from XP to Ubuntu a month or so ago. what kind of problems are you having? | 01:28 |
| soundray | !dualboot | MrRich | 01:29 |

| Mo0oSaH | Herissy: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:29 |
| Shadow_Ice | there is no other way to say it | 01:29 |
| yowshi | spideyman: ok that will help in the future but as this is new i doubt that this particular video set can be gotten using this | 01:29 |
| === edcrypt is now known as edcrypt_ | ||
| MrRich | I have a corrupt DLL file for one thing..I can't scan or defrag, if I do I get a blue screen of death... | 01:29 |
| Herissy | just spouting off. | 01:29 |
| Herissy | sorry. | 01:29 |
| soundray | Shadow_Ice: if you can't be bothered to elaborate, I can't be bothered to help | 01:29 |
| yooshi | yowshi: so you use kde desktop? and your point is? | 01:30 |
| chowder | MrRich: step 1 get rid of windows | 01:30 |
| yowshi | yooshi: no i use gnome | 01:30 |
| KyleK | damn ntfs or bust in vista | 01:30 |
| yooshi | omfg | 01:30 |
| MrRich | I thought about that chowder | 01:30 |
| soundray | !language | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:30 |
| Solaris444 | gway9000: ok and what should i do with /etc/shadow | 01:30 |
| Herissy | wonder how many people in here use kde over gnome. | 01:30 |
| Shadow_Ice | ok then would it be easier to remove windows and install ubuntu on a clean drive? | 01:30 |
| yooshi | why the heck is my wifi dropping every few seconds all of the sudden? | 01:31 |
| yooshi | no wonder everything is slow | 01:31 |
| MrRich | thaqts what I would like to know Shadow_Ice | 01:31 |
| soundray | Shadow_Ice: no | 01:31 |
| chowder | MrRich: go to distrowatch.com and look the many distros there. Ubuntu, imo, is the most user friendly | 01:31 |
| Herissy | shadow dual boot. | 01:31 |
| kappaccino | . | 01:31 |
| soundray | MrRich: it's straightforward to install a dual-boot system using the Ubuntu Desktop CD | 01:32 |
| un_dave | does anyone know how i can display the results of arbitrary terminal commands in the gnome panel, or somewhere in gnome? | 01:32 |
| mynetdude | could I get a little hand here? my ubuntu laptop is dropping connection every few secs... and I need to know why | 01:32 |
| Shadow_Ice | ive been trying to do that. right now its downloading instal files and i have about 5 hours left b4 its done | 01:32 |
| MrRich | does Ubuntu have thier own DLLs? | 01:32 |
| Flannel | MrRich: No. Linux doesn't use DLLs | 01:32 |
| gway9000 | Solaris444: there is a alphanumeric value that reps the password if you edit it and delete only the alphanumeric it will delete the pw - | 01:32 |
| coil | lib | 01:32 |
| Herissy | ubuntu doesn't use DLL's | 01:32 |
| MrRich | took me 30 mins to download..I'm on dsl here | 01:32 |
| soundray | MrRich: yes. They are called shared libraries | 01:32 |
| Herissy | ubuntu uses libs | 01:33 |
| Solaris444 | that sounds good gway9000 | 01:33 |
| coil | wine uses dlls | 01:33 |
| Shadow_Ice | im on dsl too | 01:33 |
| chowder | MrRich: forget everything about windows and come to our side. :D | 01:33 |
| unop | un_dave, use zenity | 01:33 |
| Herissy | wine has too.. its a windows emulator. | 01:33 |
| wers | soundray, what do I run again after purging the old kernels? | 01:33 |
| Solaris444 | gway9000: is that value a hash that could be used to recover the password? | 01:33 |
| MrRich | I want to chowder lol | 01:33 |
| soundray | wers: apt-get autoremove | 01:33 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: `sudo passwd -l root` will re-lock the root passowrd | 01:33 |
| gway9000 | Solaris444: you should be able to add new pw afterwards | 01:33 |
| MrRich | will MIRC work in Ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| Ahadiel | MrRich, Yes, if run under wine. | 01:34 |
| Herissy | for IRC use xchat. | 01:34 |
| mynetdude | has anyone had a wifi issue with ubuntu dropping connection every few seconds? | 01:34 |
| yowshi | next up anyone know how to configure snes9express? | 01:34 |
| Flannel | MrRich: It may be possible with wine, but there are native programs you can use instead | 01:34 |
| Herissy | in ubuntu | 01:34 |
| gway9000 | Solaris444: not sure if ophcrack or similar may decipher | 01:34 |
| unop | Solaris444, the hash is a one-way hash, theoretically you cannot recover the original plain text password from it except via brute-force guessing | 01:34 |
| soundray | MrRich: not natively, no. You can install an abstraction layer for Windows software called wine | 01:34 |
| wers | soundray, it didnt remove anything. oh well. i guess, it's finee | 01:34 |
| Solaris444 | right unop | 01:34 |
| mynetdude | MrRich use pidgin! | 01:34 |
| soundray | wers: it doesn't on every system | 01:35 |
| chowder | MrRich: try a dual boot with Ubuntu. If you like Linux then destroy windows | 01:35 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: don't edit the shadow file, just `sudo passwd -l root` | 01:35 |
| Herissy | why not just use the Live CD. | 01:35 |
| Herissy | then if you like it type install. | 01:35 |
| Herissy | simple as that. | 01:35 |
| wers | soundray, thanks | 01:35 |
| mynetdude | Flannel well I'm liking ubuntu and destroyed my windows... but now I'm starting to not like it with the fact its disconnecting me every few seoncs | 01:35 |
| MrRich | I have the live CD.. | 01:35 |
| soundray | MrRich: I can tell you don't know yet how much of a different world Ubuntu is | 01:35 |
| Solaris444 | Flannel: can't sudo without root's password. | 01:35 |
| gway9000 | Solaris444: if you can do what Flannel suggested then it would be best | 01:35 |
| MrRich | that obvious huh soundray lol | 01:35 |
| Shadow_Ice | lol | 01:36 |
| Ahadiel | Solaris444, sudo uses the user's password. | 01:36 |
| doubled | :) | 01:36 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: yes you can. sudo uses your user password, unless you've changed the defaults | 01:36 |
| Solaris444 | Ahadiel: It asks me root's password. yes i changed the defaults. | 01:36 |
| MrRich | I'm thinking I'll get there and stare at a blank screen | 01:36 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: and if you can't sudo, then theres no way you'll be able to edit /etc/shadow anyway | 01:36 |
| Herissy | MrRich : we all had to start somewhere | 01:36 |
| MrRich | all of these new terms | 01:36 |
| mynetdude | so nobody can help with a wifi connection issue? | 01:36 |
| Solaris444 | damn i really didn't want to take the system offline. looks like I'll have to. | 01:36 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: Then you're stuck. You'll need to reboot. Lock the root password, set sudo back up to use users passwords. | 01:37 |
| doubled | mynetdude: i dont know that much about that yet :( | 01:37 |
| Shadow_Ice | anyone know where i can find drivers for netgear wirless adapter for ubuntu | 01:37 |
| yowshi | for the love of all things cute and puppylike. no matter what ekmbedded videodownloader i throw at this thing it only getas a file 148kb big | 01:37 |
| Solaris444 | thanks all. | 01:37 |
| gway9000 | Solaris444: you use a disk like knoppix and chroot to the drive then edit | 01:37 |
| Solaris444 | I'll see how i go. | 01:37 |
| doubled | is your wireless card detected though mynetdude ? | 01:37 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: And actually, you'll need a liveCD to do it. Since you can't get into the recovery console | 01:37 |
| soundray | !wireless | Shadow_Ice | 01:37 |
| ubottu | Shadow_Ice: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:37 |
| FunkyLarge | Is there any fix for flash crashing firefox all the time? | 01:37 |
| Shadow_Ice | thank you | 01:37 |
| Ahadiel | FunkyLarge, Flash is just buggy, that's all =/ | 01:37 |
| MrRich | live CD you can download and make form the ISP | 01:37 |
| MrRich | er ISO | 01:37 |
| mynetdude | doubled how do I know? it was working fine last night and all this morning until about 15-20 mintues ago | 01:38 |
| yowshi | i have even tried using firefox itself on the link with save as | 01:38 |
| soundray | FunkyLarge: make sure you haven't got conflicting plugins (load about:plugins as the URL) | 01:38 |
| doubled | ah i see. and when you have a cable connected to that same router it works fine ? | 01:38 |
| Flannel | Solaris444: There's a reason Ubuntu does things the way it does, and you probably don't want to deviate from those anyway. Why did you feel compelled to use the root password for sudo? | 01:38 |
| doubled | you can check your network interfaces by typing ifconfig in a terminal screen | 01:38 |
| doubled | if it doesnt show up in there its either not installed or not activated | 01:39 |

| Flannel | SynrG: Where are you looking? | 01:52 |
| SynrG | Flannel: server is the 'alternate'? | 01:52 |
| yooshi | is there a frostwire alternative that DOES work? | 01:52 |
| SynrG | "get ubuntu" from the home page | 01:52 |
| Flannel | SynrG: No, server is server. | 01:52 |
| SynrG | LTS | 01:52 |
| Flannel | SynrG: check the "alternate desktop CD" box at the bottom | 01:52 |
| yowshi | SynrG: look around the bottom there should be an alternate cd dropdown list if i recall right | 01:53 |
| SynrG | Flannel: that's how i missed it. i was looking for a link or button :P | 01:53 |
| Flannel | SynrG: that'll install Ubuntu (or no GUI) | 01:53 |

| banet416 | hello i have hardy heron 8.04 cd i have burnt, i am trying to access the desktop with the livecd option, the problem is i have no monitor, instead i have a geforce fx5500 with svideo out. this svideo out plug is connected to a svideo-to-composite video. I thought that ubunntu would recognize this and show me a desktop on my tv, but nope... so i have no way of knowing what to do | 01:53 |
| akahige | I have a problem with... don't know if it's X or the window manager (Gnome), where I lose all of my keybindings and the ability to modify with SHIFT or CTRL... the fix seems to be to log out of the desktop. Is there any way I can do this and leave apps running without having to close everything...? | 01:53 |

| banet415 | the tv shows a blue screen | 02:00 |

| chuckf | banet415, its not the ubuntu disk then. There is a bios setting that needs to be changed to use your video card before the onboard video | 02:01 |
| BlueLaguna | My Ubuntu installation is erroring when trying to install grub. I had to do modprobe ide_generic to even start the installation. However, although the /home disk is ide, the primary disk is SATA. | 02:01 |
| BlueLaguna | Any ideas for fixing my grub problem? | 02:02 |
| BlueLaguna | It doesn't go past that | 02:02 |
| banet415 | chuckf i remember that when i had debian, i was able to see the bios get posted to the TV ... now i have a different tv which has no svideo, so i am using a svideo-to-composite cable to plug into it... do you think this is another problem? | 02:02 |
| chuckf | banet415, I jsut had that issue with a mythbox I just built | 02:02 |
| chuckf | banet415, it could be as I went through two different cables before one worked | 02:03 |
| chuckf | (well one cable and one adaptor | 02:03 |
| chuckf | and not to be a smartass, but you are sure you're on the right video input right? | 02:03 |
| chuckf | for the TV | 02:03 |
| banet415 | chuckf this was my old set up: debian, svideo direct to TV... i saw it post bios on the TV screen and it booted properly and saw everything onTV like normal..... | 02:03 |
| === K_Holtz is now known as K^Holtz | ||
| chuckf | if you're not seeing the bios post, then something else in the setup is wrong | 02:04 |
| chuckf | if the bios post workd before | 02:04 |
| banet415 | chuckf, now my setup is on a older tv, ubuntu livecd, svideo from geforce fx5500 -> svideo-to-composite-cable -> composite video plug on vcr -> vcr output to tv cable -> tv | 02:04 |
| banet415 | chuckf ok then hmmm | 02:05 |
| banet415 | is it possible i have a faulty svideo-to-composite cable | 02:05 |
| banet415 | i know everything beyond the vcr works (ps2 plugged into vcr works) | 02:05 |
| doubled | are there any logs of the files you open in ubuntu ? | 02:05 |
| chuckf | jsut a guess, but I'm thinking the vcr inputs are wrong somehow | 02:06 |
| banet415 | chuckf, cant be, ive used the same ports as where the ps2 was using | 02:06 |
| soundray | doubled: not really. Some apps record recent files in Places - Recent Documents | 02:06 |
| chuckf | okay | 02:06 |
| banet415 | anyway this is probably beyond the scope of ubuntu | 02:07 |
| chuckf | then I'd have to guess the cable is bad | 02:07 |
| soundray | Rael420: ready | 02:07 |
| banet415 | i will have to screw around and see | 02:07 |
| Rael420 | thanks soundray | 02:07 |

| SCBobbear | I need help installing ubuntu. I am on a laptop and have had ubuntu before. I am trying to make the switch to 100% ubuntu. I don't want Windows on my machine at all. Can someone give me a hand. | 02:42 |
| shubbar | i need to remove wicd and install network manager | 02:42 |
| Herissy | now I can backup my system to that drive. nice. | 02:42 |
| shubbar | but if i remove wicd, then i have no connection! | 02:42 |
| Herissy | anyone know a good backup routine un ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| PunjabDaSher | Herissy i think i might have the same problem as you, how did you fix your machine | 02:42 |
| Herissy | went to Places | Network | | 02:43 |
| vipester | shubbar if you do apt-get install network-manager it should take care of it | 02:43 |
| kohnrad1982 | Anyone know of a way to scan for keyloggers on Ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| larubbio | Do you have permisisons on your share? If so perhaps nautalis can't connect since the shares require a login? | 02:43 |
| Herissy | Windows Network | MSHOME | then the shares. | 02:44 |
| PunjabDaSher | yea the shares arnt listed under mshome | 02:44 |
| PunjabDaSher | and no i dont have them protected with passwords | 02:44 |
| Herissy | they never showed up before, I didn't change anything | 02:44 |
| PunjabDaSher | weird | 02:44 |
| larubbio | I have this in my /etc/fstab to manually mount a share: | 02:44 |
| larubbio | //kitty/backups /mnt/backups cifs auto,credentials=/root/.credentials,iocharset=utf8,nounix,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 | 02:44 |
| Herissy | all the sudden now they do | 02:44 |
| MatthewV | SCBobbear, is there any particular problem that you've encountered? Have you tried to install yet? | 02:44 |
| shubbar | vipester, worked, thanks | 02:45 |
| SCBobbear | Hi matthewv. I tried using the burned iso that I donwloaded. | 02:45 |
| SCBobbear | realised that I had nothing installed even though it looked like it was doing something. | 02:45 |
| PunjabDaSher | I'm kind of a noob at linux in general, so could you explain what fstab is | 02:46 |
| vipester | shubbar, np. ive been switching to try and get my wpa to work lol | 02:46 |
| SCBobbear | I had a real disk before and was able to pop it in my computer and get rid of windows totally and have a 100 percent linux box. | 02:46 |
| onats | hi, i hvae a USB hard drive here that i want to format, but when i try to do it in gparted, i can't. its somewhat read only. how do i enable reformatting/repartitioning? | 02:46 |
| SCBobbear | I was advised to use the text based installer and just got it downloaded and am gonna burn it. | 02:46 |
| larubbio | for the detail doc you can type 'man fstab' | 02:46 |
| PunjabDaSher | k | 02:46 |
| SCBobbear | but I was wondering what I might be doing wrong and need a hand getting rid of windows. | 02:46 |
| mynetdude | I found a solution on how to fix the java problem | 02:47 |
| Herissy | lol and now just like that its broken again | 02:47 |
| MatthewV | SCBobbear, from what you've been describing, the desktop cd is probably your best bet - it just works in over 95% of cases | 02:47 |
| Herissy | I can't do anything with them ugh. | 02:47 |
| larubbio | in short it is a file that lists different filesystem that can be mounted and how to mount them. You shouldn't need to do it, I was just hoping that using that system you might get an error message that explains why they aren't being automounted. | 02:47 |
| SCBobbear | so go ahead with the burned iso of desktop with the text based installer? | 02:47 |
| mynetdude | anyway I tried to run sudo apt-get remove sun-java* and I get two errors saying that E: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock open 1 resource temporarily unavailable, unable to lock the admin directory | 02:47 |
| PunjabDaSher | o | 02:48 |
| wolfjb | I just did an upgrade and got linux-image-2.6.24-19 linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19 and now my nvidia 6200 card is not recognized. how to fix? | 02:48 |
| SCBobbear | 'cause the other version isn't helping me get rid of windows like the disk I had a year ago. | 02:48 |
| larubbio | you can also look at /etc/mtab to see what is currently mounted by the system. You shouldn't edit that file. | 02:48 |
| PunjabDaSher | thing is, my workgroup is showing up, which is odd | 02:48 |
| mynetdude | how do I stop the process that is blocking me from being able to remove java? | 02:48 |
| larubbio | It might be that it can see that, but none of the computers. | 02:48 |
| mynetdude | or how do I know what process? | 02:49 |
| MatthewV | SCBobbear, if you use the desktop installer, and you want to replace windows entirely, you need to select the option that tells ubuntu to use all available disk space, the text mode installer is only intended if the desktop cd won't boot or you need an advanced install | 02:49 |
| overridex | anyone know a mirror for the latest madwifi snapshots? madwifi.org appears to be down | 02:49 |
| mynetdude | PunjabDaSher I have the same problem | 02:49 |

| SCBobbear | MatthewV, gotcha. I will give it a shot. | 02:49 |
| SCBobbear | thank you so much. I will be back one way or another. Thanks again guys. | 02:49 |

| freescroll | can anyone point me to a tutorial to access ubuntu folders via vista? thx | 02:51 |
| oxi | I also tried using unlink or remove first | 02:51 |
| mynetdude | larubbio does that command work even with simple file sharing? | 02:51 |
| MatthewV | SCBobbear, if you look on that link I posted, at the Select a Disk section, you just need to go with the default if you only have one HDD :) | 02:51 |

| PunjabDaSher | k | 02:52 |
| larubbio | Not sure what you mean by simple filesharing. Ideally you shouldn't have to do that, I'm just hoping for an error message | 02:52 |
| M4rotku | how can i tell that my video card is working? | 02:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | basically i have my xp box set up to share files like music and video and stuff | 02:53 |
| ubuntu | M4rotku, you can see? | 02:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | a simple home network | 02:53 |
| M4rotku | yes | 02:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | and i can't access it through my ubuntu laptop | 02:53 |
| mynetdude | larubbio well by default when you setup shares in windows it is setup in simple file sharing and PunjabDaSher and I have the same problem so I am wondernig if the simple file sharing is the culprit? | 02:53 |

| mynetdude | hmm you might not be able to do it in XP Home, but I know Pro has a few options | 02:54 |
| mynetdude | I won't touch xp home | 02:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | and i cant access it from my ubuntu laptop | 02:55 |
| LesserRemarkable | how would i determine an open port for my bit torrent software to use? | 02:55 |
| craig-o | PunjabDaSher, and you can't get at them fomr ubuntu? is there a firewall running on the xo box? Norton? | 02:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | no firewalls on the xp box | 02:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | no firewalls on my ubuntu box either | 02:55 |
| craig-o | PunjabDaSher, the windows box's own firewall isn't on? | 02:55 |
| LesserRemarkable | what about the built in firewall on xp | 02:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | nope | 02:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | its off | 02:56 |
| LesserRemarkable | or one somewhere in the actual network | 02:56 |
| PunjabDaSher | i can access the files on my xp box fine from another xp/vista machine | 02:56 |

| craig-o | PunjabDaSher, what's something like (anyone correct my syntax if it's wrong) sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.1/Documents /mnt do? 192.x.x is your windows box ip and /mnt is the folder where you're mounting up the share | 02:57 |
| PunjabDaSher | yea, i just got my laptop, and it had vista earlier today, i acessed all my files fine, and then i installed ubuntu and now thiss | 02:57 |

| dlozarie | hi guys, how do I increase the disk space Ubuntu can use? See, I dual-boot with Vista, and although there's like >15GB of space left on my disk, Ubuntu says it's got only ~2GB of space left to use. How do I increase that? | 02:58 |
| PunjabDaSher | when i entered it in | 02:58 |
| PunjabDaSher | yea vista simply put blows. | 02:58 |
| PunjabDaSher | lol | 02:58 |
| PunjabDaSher | slow as heck and is too clunky | 02:59 |
| a | serhat | 02:59 |
| xTorT | how big is a general ubuntu installation? | 02:59 |
| craig-o | PunjabDaSher, you got the ip right? DOcuments might not have been right. I usually go on the XP box and right click on the share to see what it's actualy share name is. | 02:59 |
| dlozarie | hi guys, how do I increase the disk space Ubuntu can use? See, I dual-boot with Vista, and although there's like >15GB of space left on my disk, Ubuntu says it's got only ~2GB of space left to use. How do I increase the space usable by Linux? | 02:59 |
| PunjabDaSher | yea | 02:59 |
| PunjabDaSher | ip is correct | 02:59 |
| PunjabDaSher | my box responds to ping | 02:59 |
| onats | !ext3 | 02:59 |
| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 02:59 |
| craig-o | dlozarie, dude, you just asked that. have a glass of settle down | 02:59 |
| Storrgie | Is there a hotkey to switch between workspaces? | 03:00 |
| Marty81 | is there a way to make symlinks with ln to a network directory (e.g. "smb://192.168.0.1/share/directory)? (It keeps creating files instead of folders) | 03:00 |
| NetEcho | how do you get a trash icon for your desktop? | 03:00 |
| xTorT | hi how big is ubuntu install? | 03:00 |
| dlozarie | @craig-o, yeah sorry. :D | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | xTorT: at least 2 GB | 03:00 |
| mynetdude | it is? | 03:00 |
| craig-o | dlozarie, although my first inclination would be to get rid of windows. that'd free up all kinds of space. worked for me! | 03:00 |
| mynetdude | ah nvm was thinking xubuntu | 03:01 |
| Starnestommy | Storrgie: ctrl+alt+left, ctrl+alt+right, and ctrl+alt+down | 03:01 |
| xTorT | Starnestommy, ok, is there any benefit to installing off the text based install? | 03:01 |
| dlozarie | @craig-o, too scary. I'm not removing Windows for now. Altho I just boot into Windows whenever I need to update my iTunes podcasts. :D | 03:01 |
| Storrgie | Starnestommy: I love you. | 03:01 |
| xTorT | Starnestommy, and can I customize ther kernel? | 03:01 |
| craig-o | Marty81, I think you have to mount up the share, then symlink to the mount point | 03:01 |
| craig-o | dlozarie, it'll be awesome. Do it UP! | 03:02 |
| Marty81 | how exactly do I mount to a share? | 03:02 |
| dlozarie | how do I view my remaining disk space again? last time I checked, twas around <2GB. | 03:02 |
| Starnestommy | xTorT: the text-based installer is less prone to hardware problems and gives you more choice over which packages get installed. Normally, you shouldn't compile your own kernel | 03:02 |
| craig-o | Marty81, if you can see files on a remote box, it's mounted | 03:02 |
| mynetdude | hey how do I get to a process explorer-like thing in ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| mynetdude | ah nvm... I know how | 03:02 |
| xTorT | Starnestommy, oh ok, so this is a hands-off installation | 03:02 |
| craig-o | dlozarie, man df. something like df -h / | 03:03 |
| Marty81 | ok, but then ln isn't working right.. cause I can create links, but it won't create a folder. instead it creates a broken file... | 03:03 |
| craig-o | mynetdude, ps -ef? | 03:03 |
| mvinsc | hey, half the time when i run firefox it doesn't have a window. | 03:03 |
| mvinsc | any thoughts?? | 03:03 |
| craig-o | run it just the other half the time then. aw haw haw.... sorry. | 03:03 |
| mvinsc | thanks | 03:03 |
| craig-o | I've been having firefox issues too; thinking of setting up 3 to see what happens | 03:04 |
| Marty81 | I typed the following: ln -s "smb://.." "Folder" | 03:04 |
| craig-o | Marty81, nope, doesn't work that way. | 03:04 |
| greg78yo | I've been happily using Ubuntu Hardy for two months now, and today when I restarted it said "Grub error 18" Any ideas? It's a new system, so I don't think most of the search results apply to me. | 03:04 |
| Marty81 | O.o how then? | 03:04 |
| PunjabDaSher | craig-o, on my xp install, it says the share name of my folder is Amrit's Music | 03:05 |
| craig-o | Marty81, you have to have the remote filesystem mounted up (might already be--type sudo mount and see if it is) then link to wher eit mounted. | 03:05 |
| PunjabDaSher | is that what i insert in the command u gave me | 03:05 |
| craig-o | PunjabDaSher, give 'er some | 03:05 |
| Marty81 | ok.. lemme try that.. | 03:05 |
| dlozarie | I typed df -h into a terminal window and some stuff appeared. not so good at reading this kind of data tho. Can anyone take a look at this and tell me how much space I have left? thx! http://paste.ubuntu.com/21715/ | 03:05 |

| craig-o | Marty81, so, if the remote share is mounted up in /mnt and there's a folder in it called /mnt/spiffy then you'd run a command something like ln -s /mnt/spiffy /home/marty/spiffy | 03:06 |

| craig-o | PunjabDaSher, still hung? | 03:08 |
| onats | greg78yo, what is wrong with your grub? | 03:08 |

| dlozarie | @craigbass, nah. not right now. maybe when I'm really, really sure I don't need it. | 03:10 |
| Storrgie | should i run a firewall in ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| craigbass1976 | Marty81, ok, on the windows box, right click on whatever is shared out to get the actual share name. Also, get the ip address of the box | 03:11 |

| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: but make sure that the partitions you will resize are not mounted! | 03:12 |
| onats | yeah, will do | 03:12 |
| dlozarie | @Moosah, yeah I have a live CD here. how do I know they're not mounted? | 03:12 |
| Marty81 | the path would be smb://192.168.0.7/sda for the share | 03:12 |

| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: if you boot into live CD, they wont be mounted automatically, alternatively if you don't see them showing up on your desktop then they are not mounted | 03:13 |

| onats | lol | 03:13 |
| Mo0oSaH | IndyGunFreak: aren't most of us? could be a good offtopic discussion | 03:14 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, my two hard drives were on my desktop before, but now they don't show up. | 03:14 |
| craigbass1976 | Marty81, in a terminal, type sudo mount and paste the output to rafb.net or some other pastebin | 03:14 |
| Moes | Can I upgrade to Firefox 3 using Ubuntuzilla | 03:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mo0oSaH: don't know about you, i have two backups, 1 gets backed up every couple days, 1 gets updated about 1-2x a month | 03:14 |
| * craigbass1976 is googling for ubuntuzilla... never heard of it | 03:14 | |
| webcamwonder | Moes: It is preferred that you update using the aptitude | 03:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntuzilla? | 03:15 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: then they are not mounted... you can also right click and unmount if they seem to be mounted | 03:15 |
| pinkster | does anybody know about a "tickless kernel"? | 03:15 |
| KyleK | nope | 03:15 |
| KyleK | do tell | 03:15 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, I right-clicked on one of the disks and an "unmount" option appeared. I should click this, right? | 03:15 |
| wers | I installed windows on another partition but I don't know how to put it on my menu.lst. any idea? | 03:15 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: yup! | 03:15 |
| Marty81 | http://rafb.net/p/6l49sf39.html | 03:16 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, yay! tnx! after that, what do I do next? :D | 03:16 |
| pinkster | kylek, about a tickless kernel? | 03:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | wers: is windows on the first partition or the second partition, what? | 03:16 |
| wers | IndyGunFreak, fourht | 03:16 |
| wers | fourth | 03:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Marty81, ok, so it's not already mounted. | 03:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | wers: that could be all sorts of fun..no clue on that one | 03:16 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: i don't think ubuntu live cd has gparted installed. try to run it from terminal by sudo gparted, if it doesn't work then do sudo apt-get install gparted | 03:17 |
| KyleK | pinkster: looks neat | 03:17 |
| pinkster | well it has something to do with "config_no_hz" | 03:17 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: then just open it up and then it's fairly straight forward | 03:17 |
| MrRich | Hello | 03:17 |
| pinkster | but i dont know how to set it up | 03:17 |
| craigbass1976 | what does something like sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.7/sda /mnt do? | 03:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mo0oSaH: if it doesn't, sudo apt-get install gparted will install it.. but i think its on the hardy cd | 03:17 |
| KyleK | pinkster: yea its a compile option, look at how to compile a kernel | 03:17 |
| craigbass1976 | Marty81, what does something like sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.7/sda /mnt do? | 03:17 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, I'd said earlier that I right clicked on "one of the disks". Actually, I should've said, "one of the partitions" since I only have one hard disk partitioned into two. :D Imma enter that command now. thx. | 03:17 |
| pinkster | kylek: heh... compiling a kernel | 03:17 |
| KyleK | it might be really easy | 03:17 |
| onats | how do i add permanent icons to avant window manager? | 03:17 |
| pinkster | it would be an interesting project | 03:17 |
| Marty81 | lemme try that | 03:17 |
| dlozarie | @mooosah, "sudo gparted" command not found. :( | 03:18 |
| craigbass1976 | been so long since I've run windows, this samba stuff is weird to remember | 03:18 |
| pinkster | apparently it has something to do with power consumption | 03:18 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: make sure all the partitions on the harddrive are unmounted | 03:18 |
| KyleK | CONFIG what? | 03:18 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, okay, so both the partitions I unmount. tnx. | 03:18 |
| MrRich | question: in order to dual boot ubuntu / Xp do I need to install ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| craigbass1976 | MrRich, yes | 03:18 |
| LesserRemarkable | is there a program available to defrag the hard drive from inside Ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| onats | mrrich, huh? | 03:18 |
| Mo0oSaH | MrRich: you need to install both to dual boot no? | 03:18 |
| Marty81 | this: http://rafb.net/p/gyxiGN53.html | 03:19 |
| dlozarie | @mooosah, command still not found. :( | 03:19 |
| pinkster | mrrich, you could look at virtualization also | 03:19 |
| webcamwonder | LesserRemarkable, no. Not yet | 03:19 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: which command? | 03:19 |
| dlozarie | sudo gparted? | 03:19 |
| MrRich | I've done the section where it says try it out first but nothing is working | 03:19 |
| craigbass1976 | MrRich, by definition, dual booting is having two OSs on the same box. You could just play though and only run the livecd until you're ready to take the plunge | 03:19 |
| pinkster | mrrich, how do you mean it's not working? | 03:19 |
| Mo0oSaH | then install it with sudo apt-get install gparted | 03:19 |
| MrRich | it wants to load drivers and things...trying to get the wireless connection to work but can't seem to do that | 03:19 |
| craigbass1976 | MrRich, linux and wireless still have a way to go | 03:19 |
| dlozarie | @mooosah, turns out gparted ain't installed yet. installing now. :D | 03:19 |
| pinkster | mrrich, hmm... so you're running the live cd? if yo do install, you should try to connect with ethernet when you do it in case you have to troubleshoot your wireless | 03:20 |
| MrRich | hmm I can't even get the ethernet to connect with XP I'm on wireless...laptop | 03:20 |
| craigbass1976 | Oh, HEY ANYONE!!!!! is smbfs now cifs in Ubuntu too? | 03:20 |
| pinkster | mrrich, what sort of laptop is it? | 03:21 |
| MrRich | Gateway | 03:21 |
| KyleK | craigbass1976: maybe | 03:21 |
| ianliu_88 | is there a program which tries to read a text from an image and output it as a text? | 03:21 |
| dlozarie | @mooosah, I'm in gparted now, but I can't click on the resize button. | 03:21 |
| craigbass1976 | Marty81, you can try cifs instead of smbfs. I remember that replacement happening in Fedora, but didn't know it arrived in Ubuntu yet | 03:21 |
| Mo0oSaH | MrRich: I have Gateway, what model is your? | 03:21 |
| pinkster | mrrich, you would probably have to find out what sort of wireless card it is | 03:21 |
| KyleK | oh | 03:21 |
| greg78yo | \connect irc.gnu.org | 03:21 |
| MrRich | mx6214 | 03:21 |
| KyleK | craigbass1976: you have to get the smbfs package separately i think | 03:21 |
| craigbass1976 | Marty81, -t cifs rather than -t smbfs rest of the command is the came | 03:21 |
| Marty81 | ok.. let me try that... | 03:21 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: I'm not too familiar with gparted options, maybe someone can help to continue you from here... | 03:22 |
| craigbass1976 | KyleK, he's not trying to share, just mount up a windows share | 03:22 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie: is the partition you want to resize unmounted? | 03:22 |
| ianliu_88 | I scanned some texts sheets and I wanted to convert them to text instead of image... Is there an application which would do this for me? | 03:22 |
| dlozarie | @mooosah, thank you for the help! ^_^ | 03:22 |
| Marty81 | same error | 03:22 |
| KyleK | smbfs isn't samba | 03:22 |
| dlozarie | @IronJa1, yes I've unmounted both my partitions. :D | 03:22 |
| MrRich | Mo0oSaH MX6214 | 03:22 |
| greg78yo | I'm still stuck on this grub error 18. Any ideas? onats? | 03:22 |
| webcamwonder | ianliu_88 you need to look for an OCR application | 03:22 |
| craigbass1976 | PunjabDaSher, did you catch that? smbfs might not be what you need to type. -t cifs might be it | 03:22 |
| ianliu_88 | webcamwonder: Ok, I will search | 03:22 |
| ianliu_88 | webcamwonder: thanks | 03:22 |
| alakdan | how do you make debmirror work for this apt sources.list entry deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/ hardy/ | 03:22 |
| webcamwonder | ianuliu_88 no problems | 03:23 |
| onats | greg78yo, what happened when you ran the fix GRUB steps? | 03:23 |
| craigbass1976 | PunjabDaSher, Ctrl C if it's still hung and it will quit out of the command you had running | 03:23 |
| onats | im no expert, but i'm just here to talk to you. heheh | 03:23 |
| greg78yo | onats: from the link I sent. I followed those steps and grub didn't compalin, but I restarted and still got the same error 18 | 03:23 |
| pinkster | mrrich, one option would be to try ndiswrapper, which uses windows drivers inside linux | 03:24 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie sry, got online some secs ago. can you do anything else withe these partitions? deleting, format to other fileformats or so? (sry 4 my english) | 03:24 |
| greg78yo | onats: Is there a grub irc I should try? | 03:24 |
| dlozarie | @IronJa1, what do you mean? like, can I delete files on the partitions? | 03:24 |
| Mo0oSaH | greg78yo: grub irc? | 03:24 |
| greg78yo | Mo0oSaH: How do I get there? | 03:24 |
| pinkster | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper ... but you'll have to have an internet connection to download the program you need or you could burn it to a cd in advance | 03:25 |
| onats | i think he's looking for a channel. you can try #linux | 03:25 |
| Mo0oSaH | greg78yo: What is grub irc? | 03:25 |
| KyleK | alakdan: did you see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror | 03:25 |
| craigbass1976 | Mo0oSaH, /join #grub | 03:25 |
| Ikkebr2 | where can I find arm-linux-gcc ? | 03:25 |
| mynetdude | hey guys I'm trying to follow instructions on this page but the sudo mv command won't work, the error I get is mv: cannot stat /homebigiron//xxx no such file or directory but the file is there | 03:25 |
| mynetdude | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539423&highlight=how+to+manually+install+Java | 03:25 |
| KyleK | Ikkebr2: try arm-gcc? | 03:26 |
| mynetdude | errr /home/bigiron | 03:26 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie: there are other button: new [partition], delete etc. can you use one of these for the partitions you want to resize? | 03:26 |
| Mo0oSaH | craigbass1976: I know what grub is but what is grub irc? | 03:26 |
| craigbass1976 | mynetdude, are you using two // in the path like you just pasted here? | 03:26 |
| Marty81 | craigbass1976, any other ideas on mounting network shares? your last option gave me the same error... | 03:26 |
| luke-dex | does anyone know if this would work with linux ???? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12936~r.83188615 | 03:26 |
| mynetdude | craigbass1976 am I supposed to? | 03:26 |
| craigbass1976 | Mo0oSaH, the irc grub room | 03:26 |
| craigbass1976 | mynetdude, no | 03:26 |
| dlozarie | help, I can't resize my partitions from gparted. both partitions unmounted already. :| | 03:26 |
| Mo0oSaH | craigbass1976: ah I see.. | 03:26 |
| mynetdude | craigbass1976 no, I'm not using // | 03:27 |
| alakdan | KyleK, I have been using debmirror for a while now, but usually there is a parameter for the 'section' part. :) Will read the url you gave me and might find something that can help me :) thanks. | 03:27 |
| mynetdude | I'm trying to move the java 6u6 JRE runtime from my home folder to the /usr/lib/jvm | 03:27 |
| KyleK | alakdan: skip down to the shell script, its got too many darn comments ;) | 03:27 |
| mynetdude | I even tried to do it via the GUI, and I get a permission denied so... this is really starting to not work out very well | 03:27 |
| craigbass1976 | Marthy, bleah... I don't know without sitting there. I haven't got a windows box to play with and give you a play by play, or I would. Could be I'm forgetting a step | 03:27 |
| pinkster | lula-dex, not sure... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam might provide some info | 03:27 |
| mynetdude | I really wish I could just copy/move as I please in GUI | 03:28 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude | 03:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: why can't you? | 03:28 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude are you trying to move a folder? | 03:28 |
| pinkster | dlozarie, are you using the livecd or from within ubuntu? | 03:28 |
| mynetdude | no I'm trying to move a .bin file to a folder | 03:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: so move it | 03:28 |
| dlozarie | @pinkster, within ubuntu. Should I use the livecd? | 03:28 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak because this freak needs permissions! | 03:28 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude are you using a GUI based file manager>? | 03:28 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak I can't | 03:28 |
| KyleK | mv file somewhere/else hehe | 03:28 |
| craigbass1976 | What's the gnome equivilent of explorer? | 03:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: open a terminal gksudo nautilus.. then move the file | 03:28 |
| DrAkOdE | hello! | 03:28 |
| KyleK | craigbass1976: ooo ooo nautilus | 03:29 |
| craigbass1976 | ahh nautilus... right | 03:29 |
| mynetdude | webcamwonder I guess? I'm using places>computer>filesystem>folder | 03:29 |
| greg78yo | I found a help page that says: "This can be circumvented by creating a boot partition at the beginning of the disk that is completely within the first 1023 cylinders of the harddrive. This partition will contain the kernel." | 03:29 |
| DrAkOdE | how game it is good now? | 03:29 |
| pinkster | dlozarie, well the live cd might work better | 03:29 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude press alt+f2 | 03:29 |
| greg78yo | That sounds pretty complicated though | 03:29 |
| DrAkOdE | at chess? | 03:29 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude type in gksu nautilus | 03:29 |
| mynetdude | isn't nautilus for ftp? | 03:29 |
| KyleK | greg78yo: really? | 03:29 |
| dlozarie | @pinkster, okay, inserting live cd into drive. | 03:29 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude and key in your password, and move to the location of /bin | 03:29 |
| craigbass1976 | mynetdude, yeah, what he said. I couldn't remember the name of the "explorer" program | 03:29 |
| pinkster | dlozarie, i mean the gparted livecd... | 03:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: no.. | 03:29 |
| KyleK | just create the first partition smallish | 03:29 |
| luke-dex | thanks pinkster | 03:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | gksudo nautilus and move the file, thats all there is to it. | 03:29 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude nautlius can explore your files and folders on the hdd | 03:29 |
| pinkster | luke-dex, np | 03:29 |
| dlozarie | @pinkster, oh! I thought you meant the ubuntu cd! lol. no, I don't have a live cd. | 03:30 |
| alakdan | KyleK, yeah. didnt find anything useful though since whats described is mirroring the usual ubuntu repository :( | 03:30 |
| DrAkOdE | what game it's good? from chess? between chess master in winbug? | 03:30 |
| * craigbass1976 didn't know you could ftp with nautilus... | 03:30 | |
| mynetdude | cool, but why can't I use the built in gui? I'll use nautilus for the sake of this | 03:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: nautilus is the built in GUI | 03:30 |
| captainrdbeard | nautilus is the built in gui | 03:30 |
| DrAkOdE | i'm me english is fuck, i'm spain speak | 03:30 |
| pinkster | dlozarie, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 03:30 |
| craigbass1976 | mynetdude, I think nautilus IS the GUI you speak of. | 03:30 |
| greg78yo | KyleK: Swap is my first partition right now. So I guess I would delete it, create the little boot partition and make that remaining free space back into swap? | 03:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | gksudo is giving your root access, which is allowing yout o move the file | 03:30 |
| mynetdude | oh... well I am using nautilous then | 03:30 |
| webcamwonder | as long as you are using GNOME environment :) | 03:30 |
| Wazz | is there a cd of ubuntu that comes with no gui just the media support amongst other things? | 03:30 |
| craigbass1976 | mynetdude, when you click on the places menu and look at some folders.... I think that's nautilus | 03:30 |
| DrAkOdE | HELLO! | 03:30 |
| pinkster | wazz, you mean codecs and stuff? | 03:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | craigbass1976: yes it is | 03:31 |
| DrAkOdE | what game is good, from chess? | 03:31 |
| Wazz | yeah | 03:31 |
| craigbass1976 | eh? | 03:31 |
| mynetdude | alright let me try that | 03:31 |
| peterpan098 | how do i install backtrack3 to hdd? | 03:31 |
| Mo0oSaH | DrAkOdE: the chess that comes with gnome! | 03:31 |
| peterpan098 | anyone know? | 03:31 |
| mynetdude | cool and it didn't ask for a pw | 03:31 |
| pinkster | wazz, well you could install ubuntu server and then install the codecs... but you wouldn't immediately be able to watch or listen to anything | 03:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: probably cuz you were logged in as root vbery recently | 03:31 |
| unavailable | how do i find out what group a device (such as /dev/net/tun) belongs to?? | 03:32 |
| dlozarie | hey, guys, how many megabytes is 89038848 bytes equal to? lol | 03:32 |
| Wazz | there is no minimal install? | 03:32 |
| brad_ | I just updated my laptop (running xubuntu) and it got a part way through before wifi dropped. I installed the packages I could fetch, and restarted cuz it said i needed to... now it seems my computer doesn't recognize my wireless card | 03:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol... | 03:32 |
| pinkster | dlozarie, 890 I think | 03:32 |
| craigbass1976 | dlozarie, divide by 1024 twice | 03:32 |
| webcamwonder | dlozarie divide by 1024 to get GB | 03:32 |
| peterpan098 | backtrack 3 anyone? | 03:32 |
| Shubbar | nm-applet does not start network manager | 03:32 |
| greg78yo | Ok, I made a 64MB ext3 partition | 03:32 |
| pinkster | dlozarie, 90-ish | 03:32 |
| brad_ | no shubbar | 03:32 |
| greg78yo | Now how do I move grub onto it? | 03:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: google how many bytes in a megabyte.. and there's tons of conversion tables... most you just enter the amount of bytes, and it pops up the number of mb | 03:32 |
| Marty81 | so, how do I mount my network share? smbfs and cifs don't work here... | 03:32 |
| KyleK | greg78yo: yea | 03:33 |
| mynetdude | yay thanks guys | 03:33 |
| Ashfire908 | Despite setting "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=0" in sysctl.conf, my system after fully booting has net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding set to 1 (On). How do I get it to keep the setting from sysctl? (More of sovling the issue of the thing changing it, not manually running it in /etc/rc.local) | 03:33 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie: 86952 MB ca. 84.9GB | 03:33 |
| mynetdude | so why can't I have this same kind of privs as a user instead of root? | 03:33 |
| DrAkOdE | peterpan098: u need create 2 partition on u hdd, n after install, for install u need goes to main menu, n search install on this menu... | 03:33 |
| craigbass1976 | dlozarie, you could also put a -h in commands to give you human readable output | 03:33 |
| xTorT | dlozarie, are you talking storage, or throughput? | 03:33 |
| unavailable | dlozarie google "xxx bytes = megabytes | 03:33 |
| Shubbar | brad_ , so how do i start network manager | 03:33 |
| mynetdude | oh well u guys are going fast... too fast for me :( | 03:33 |
| greg78yo | KyleK: Should the mount point for my new partition say /boot? Should I give it a boot flag? | 03:33 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, tnx! ^_^ | 03:33 |
| mynetdude | thanks :) | 03:33 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude You do have the privilages | 03:33 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude It was just that you had not passed the privileges to the application you were running | 03:33 |
| mynetdude | then howcome I couldn't move a file into a folder I created via terminal? | 03:33 |
| xTorT | throughput is usually base 10 where storage is base 2 | 03:33 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude make sure you put sudo before that | 03:34 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude that would give the rights necessaryu | 03:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: you do have the privliges when you enter the password, this is why you don't get molested on linux like you do on Windows, because not every user automatically has "root" access | 03:34 |
| DrAkOdE | www.backtrack.blogspot.com is a blog from linux... mmm it's on spanish and english | 03:34 |
| mynetdude | webcamwonder yeah I had to do sudo to make the folder to begin with | 03:34 |
| craigbass1976 | mynetdude, if you don't have permission to write or read frm either location, it's pfffffffft. no love in terminal land | 03:34 |
| Herissy | I want to copy all my files (video/audio/stuff) to my windows drive wile checking for dups how do I do it. over the network... rsync? | 03:35 |
| DrAkOdE | www.blackxploit.blogspot.com is a blog from linux... mmm it's on spanish and english | 03:35 |
| * mynetdude hates terminal | 03:35 | |
| webcamwonder | agreed... if you don't have permissions, sudo won't help you | 03:35 |
| mynetdude | well why not have it ASK for a password in the GUI | 03:35 |
| wers | how come, when I tried burning using Brasero, it said that my blank cd doesnt have enough space so I can't burn but I managed to burn the same file using nautilus' burning feature? | 03:35 |
| dlozarie | okay, I'm downloading the .iso file of gparted live cd. I just burn it onto a CD-RW right? | 03:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: if you use gksudo it will ask you for a password in GUI | 03:35 |
| unavailable | dlozarie actually use ### bytes in megabytes | 03:35 |
| mynetdude | I'm almost regretting this now | 03:35 |
| Marty81 | how do I mount my network share? smbfs and cifs don't work here... anyone? | 03:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: if you'd just listen, you would understand, | 03:35 |
| greg78yo | I'm going to guess the new boot partition should have the boot flag. Any objections? | 03:35 |
| cake | DCC SEND UBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKSUBUNTUSUCKS | 03:35 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak every time I want to do it? | 03:35 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I've figured it out already. it's around 84mb. :D | 03:35 |
| Shubbar | Can anyone tell me how to start Network Manager? I just removed wicd | 03:35 |

| pinkster | mynetdude, what are you trying to do? | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: everytime you want to do what? | 03:36 |
| xTorT | is it possible to just dl ubuntu that is already installed via ftp, and then just installing the bootloader? | 03:36 |
| pinkster | heh | 03:36 |
| unavailable | indygunfreak how do i find out what group a device (such as /dev/net/tun) belongs to?? | 03:36 |
| wers | /dev/sda4 is hd(0, what?) | 03:36 |
| captainrdbeard | Marty81: what os are you trying to mount on? | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: you said you just wanted to move a folder... | 03:36 |
| mynetdude | well, yeah but if I want to do it later I'll have to run gksu nautilus | 03:36 |
| greg78yo | I think I'm just going to reinstall Ubuntu. This is beyond me | 03:36 |
| Herissy | lol | 03:36 |
| xTorT | i guess I am asking is it possible to download your installation via ftp and then just install a bootloader to make it work? | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: yes | 03:36 |
| * mynetdude sighs... forget it... we accomplished something thats all that matters | 03:36 | |
| mynetdude | the point is... I shouldn't have to go to command line to get it to give me something special in GUI | 03:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | unavailable: navigate tot he folder in question.. in this case, /dev/net/tun.. right click, properties, and the permissions tab | 03:37 |
| unavailable | aah | 03:37 |
| Marty81 | captainrdbeard, it's a Samba share from another Ubuntu PC, with ntfs on that disk... | 03:37 |
| mynetdude | why not the whole filesystem? :P | 03:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: the point is, thats why you don';t get screwed by hackers, retards, etc under Linux | 03:37 |
| webcamwonder | mynetdude you only need to gksu nautlius if you are essentially moving "system files" | 03:37 |
| mynetdude | I agree... which it could still ask for permission auth via GUI rather than fiddle with the terminal | 03:37 |
| brad_ | after an update, my computer cannot see my wireless card, ifconfig -a just shows lo | 03:38 |
| pinkster | mynetdude, well everything in linux is really based in the command-line... a lot of linux guis are kind of incomplete (which is why people always go to the terminal) | 03:38 |
| mynetdude | true | 03:38 |
| mynetdude | ah | 03:38 |

| Hav0c | hey, anyone use mojo to share itunes libraries? pm me | 03:39 |
| pinkster | mynetdude, if you are using nautilus as root you could right click on the folder and change the permissions that way | 03:39 |

| PunjabDaSher | oh and hey whats up mynetdude | 03:49 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak because frostwire won't work correctly with 1.5 or 1.6 and the repos only gives me 64bit I believe | 03:49 |
| webcamwonder | !samba | PunjabDaSher | 03:49 |

| KyleK | oh so debootstrap so hrm | 03:50 |
| mynetdude | I'm installing the i586 version | 03:50 |
| QAH | Hello everyone! | 03:50 |
| jgoo | cheers LtL , I was just checking to see what the short cuts were! asl ong as we are on this - is there a 'restore (unmaximise) shortcut? | 03:50 |
| KyleK | Naraku: i dont use ftp personally so im clueless | 03:50 |
| PunjabDaSher | yea i have samba correctly installed | 03:50 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, yes they're unmounted. still unresizeable tho. | 03:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: are you using 64bit ubuntu? | 03:50 |
| pinkster | hello qah | 03:50 |
| _2 | nobody eeh | 03:50 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak yes | 03:50 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher and did you try "sharing"? | 03:50 |
| CTho | how do I figure out what nvidia driver i'm currently using for my integrated nforce graphics? | 03:50 |
| PunjabDaSher | what do you define as sharing | 03:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: word to thewise, the chances of you getting that to work, are about one in 12 quadrillion. | 03:50 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie: what file format do this partitions use? | 03:50 |
| QAH | I have a question for you guys. | 03:50 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher What do you wish to accomplish, share a directory from your ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak getting what to work? Java? | 03:51 |
| brad_ | heres the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/21718/ | 03:51 |
| dlozarie | the ff. partitions appear: /dev/sda1, unallocated, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda5/, /dev/sda6/, /dev/sda2 | 03:51 |
| PunjabDaSher | the network is setup fine so that i can use other windows machines to get files off my xp box | 03:51 |
| pinkster | qah, what is your question? | 03:51 |
| QAH | Am I able to use the desktop effects with the Ubuntu 7.10(Gusty Gibbon) live cd? | 03:51 |
| PunjabDaSher | no i wish to access directories from my xp box | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: yes., | 03:51 |
| dlozarie | filesystems: ntfs, "unallocated", extended, linux-swap. sda1 and sda2 use ntfs. | 03:51 |
| imastoopiduser | having no luck pairing my jawbone to hardy with belkin bluetooth usb adapter, has anyone got this to work? | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: and frostwire for that matter. it works fine on 32bit.. but i've yet to see anyone get it working on 64bit. | 03:51 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak well I'll just install the 32bit ubuntu then | 03:51 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher open nautlius and navigate to smb://[ip address of you xp pc] | 03:51 |
| Marty81 | well, it gives the same error again: http://rafb.net/p/OT30gB43.html | 03:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: you shoulda done that to begin with | 03:52 |
| pinkster | qah, I believe the live cd is supposed to be identical to how an installed system would at first work | 03:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | brad_: did you figure it out? | 03:52 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak well I didn't know how was I supposed to know 64bit was crap? | 03:52 |
| pinkster | qah, so, as long as your graphics are compatible, yes | 03:52 |
| brad_ | no, no i didn't | 03:52 |
| mynetdude | at the time I had no idea I could use 32bit | 03:52 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, filesystems: ntfs, "unallocated", extended, linux-swap. sda1 and sda2 use ntfs. | 03:52 |
| NewbMan | Please help. Can anyone help with getting layla20 soundcard to work? | 03:52 |
| PunjabDaSher | doesnt work webcam | 03:52 |
| QAH | pinkster: Here is the trouble though.... | 03:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: maybe use google?.. 64bit issues are well documented on numerous sites | 03:52 |
| PunjabDaSher | however i am able to ping the machine oddly enough | 03:52 |
| afallenhope | what are the keys for the desktop cube? | 03:52 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher Is there any firewall blocking the sharing from XP? | 03:52 |
| PunjabDaSher | none whatsoever | 03:53 |
| pinkster | qah, hmm? | 03:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | brad_: go to the pastebin site that you're about to get a link to, and pastebin your lspci from the terminal, givfe me the link to your pastebin, and i'll tfind your wireless device for you.. | 03:53 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie: which one of these do you want to resize? (/dev/sdaX and format) | 03:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | even the windows firewall is off | 03:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | !pastebin | brad_ | 03:53 |
| ubottu | brad_: 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) | 03:53 |
| gkelly | I have downloaded 8.04 alternate CD and popped it into my 6.06 desktop. I added the CD as a source and then reloaded, marked all upgrades, and hit apply. Should I come out the other end with hardy?? or am I in for a surprise? | 03:53 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak also... 64bit any OS has issues afaik but anyway | 03:53 |
| mynetdude | no big deal | 03:53 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher are you sure you are entering the correct IP address? | 03:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | yep | 03:53 |
| dlozarie | @IronJa1, /dev/sda2, ntfs. | 03:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | it is 192.168.1.102 | 03:53 |
| mynetdude | good thing is it won't take long to get up to speed | 03:53 |
| PunjabDaSher | pings fine | 03:53 |
| mynetdude | its not like windows | 03:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: exactly.. so thats why yhou shoudl have investigated it further | 03:54 |
| QAH | pinkster: When I enable the special effects, it says it has to enable a certian Nvidia driver. Allow it to do that, it installs the right packages. It then tells me to restart, and when I restart and reboot linux, it's like the settings don't save. When I shut down, all of the settings are back to default. | 03:54 |
| PunjabDaSher | doesnt work when i try to smb:// | 03:54 |
| Naraku | KyleK, thanks anyways | 03:54 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher I think I am very very dumb... try //192.168.1.102 | 03:54 |
| pinkster | qah, the live cd does not save data (unless you're using it with a usb stick) | 03:54 |
| brad_ | like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/21718/ | 03:54 |
| PunjabDaSher | k | 03:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | brad_: lol, like that.. hangon asec | 03:54 |
| QAH | pinkster: So that means I can't enable the desktop effects? | 03:55 |
| enaner | IndyGunFreak, did you get my msg? :) | 03:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | no such file or directory, same error as when i try to smb:// | 03:55 |
| pinkster | qah, well if install it on your hard drive you probably would be able to | 03:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | enaner: yes, and i ignored it, just like i do all people that Pm me w/o asking | 03:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | brad_: doesn't look like your device is getting detected properly | 03:55 |
| afallenhope | What's the command for the cube? Like what's the keymap | 03:55 |
| pinkster | qah, if you have a usb thumb drive you could test it out... see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:55 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher give me a minute, I have never tried that myself | 03:55 |
| PunjabDaSher | k | 03:55 |
| QAH | pinkster: Could you put a : after my name. When you put , it doesn't highlight it. I didn't see ou type back | 03:55 |
| darthanubis | I have edge flip for the cube enabled but dragging a window to the edge does not flip the cube | 03:56 |
| PunjabDaSher | it is supposed to work, from what i have gleaned around forums, etc. | 03:56 |
| pinkster | qah: ah, sry... I just wrote something | 03:56 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, I want to resize /dev/sda1 (ntfs file format) since this is where Ubuntu is installed and I want to get more disk space for Ubuntu. what do I do? | 03:56 |
| PunjabDaSher | the smb:// that is | 03:56 |
| QAH | pinkster: Okay I see it. | 03:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: are you on a live CD, or on an actual install | 03:56 |
| gkelly | PunjabDaSher: I just came in. Are you trying to go from a mac to a samba share? | 03:56 |
| QAH | pinkster: Can I just copy the files off of the live cd onto the thumb drive and boot like that? | 03:56 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher goto terminal and type in smbclient -L [ip of xp] -U% | 03:57 |
| IronJa1 | dlozarie: you can't resize ntfs with ubuntu (as far as i know). it's not supported very well | 03:57 |
| Marty81 | captainrdbeard, ok, smbmount works :) | 03:57 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, I'm on an actual install of Ubuntu. | 03:57 |
| PunjabDaSher | gkelly, i am trying to access files on my xp machine from my ubuntu comp | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: you'll likely need to do this from either an Ubuntu live CD, or download Partedmagic live cd | 03:57 |
| gkelly | oh ok, nevermind then. | 03:57 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, I have an Ubuntu CD here, can I use that? | 03:58 |
| pinkster | qah: it will be done for you automatically.. files created and differences from how the system started will be saved on the thumb drive (but you'll probably have to dedicate the thumb drive solely for use with ubuntu) | 03:58 |
| ali1 | how can i make my cube not zoom back slowly when i stop insead jus flick back liek it use to | 03:58 |
| PunjabDaSher | webcam, it just hangs up | 03:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: it would probably work much better | 03:58 |
| webcamwonder | alil You can tweak compiz via the Compiz Manager | 03:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: i suspect you're trying to resize a partition, that is in use, which you just can't do | 03:58 |
| ali1 | because i didn't hav this problem bore | 03:58 |
| ali1 | before* | 03:58 |

| ali1 | before after letting go of the cube it went directly to the window not slowly | 03:59 |
| Herissy | dlozarie : use gparted | 03:59 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher make sure that samba is correctly enabled on your xp | 03:59 |
| ali1 | can any1 help me out here | 03:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: boot eithe your ubuntu live CD and use gparted, or boot a Partedmagic live CD(my personal choice),l and use it | 03:59 |
| webcamwonder | alil You can tweak compiz via the Compiz Manager | 03:59 |
| mynetdude | maybe 32bit ubuntu will give me better permissions control too, and perhaps connect to my windows shares | 04:00 |
| PunjabDaSher | it is, i can access the files from other xp machine and vista machines | 04:00 |
| dlozarie | btdubs, I still have three Ubuntu stickers left. where do I put them? | 04:00 |

| mynetdude | dlozarie save them? | 04:00 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, alright so I've put the Ubuntu CD I requested into the drive. what's next? :) | 04:01 |
| mynetdude | brad_ try #defocus, lots of good folks there for that :) truly | 04:01 |
| imastoopiduser | anyone in this channel have bluetooth running on ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: do what i do, go to Best Buy, and put them on microsoft boxes | 04:01 |
| Wazz | stick them on vista boxes in best buy | 04:01 |
| Herissy | Brad__ : whats the problem | 04:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | dlozarie: restart? | 04:01 |
| Wazz | lol | 04:01 |
| IronJa1 | dlorazie: reboot | 04:01 |
| mynetdude | dlozarie follow directions, it can't be that hard | 04:01 |
| dlozarie | @IndyGunFreak, okay, rebooting. Fingers crossed. | 04:01 |
| genii | IndyGunFreak: I did that here and the Geek Squad dudes basically jumped me like a SWAT team | 04:01 |
| mynetdude | Wazz good idea! | 04:01 |
| Herissy | imastoopiduser : I use a bluetooth mouse | 04:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | genii: lol.. thats great | 04:02 |
| mynetdude | :P | 04:02 |
| Wazz | or stick them on the display computers | 04:02 |
| Marty81 | is there a way to auto mount smb shares upon boot up? (smbmount command) Sessions perhaps? | 04:02 |
| LesserRemarkable | Brad_ what sort of dilema? | 04:02 |
| Herissy | not my favorite thing to use but its better than the touchpad for long periods of time. | 04:02 |
| imastoopiduser | im trying to get a bluetooth headset working have tried that? | 04:03 |
| dabaR | Do you know how to authenticate to a VNC server that uses NTLM auth? | 04:03 |
| webcamwonder | PunjabDaSher I am all out, maybe someone else might be able to help you | 04:03 |
| Herissy | only in windows. | 04:03 |
| PunjabDaSher | damn | 04:03 |
| PunjabDaSher | thanks anyways | 04:03 |
| mynetdude | bluetooth mouse are nice but are spendy | 04:04 |
| Herissy | indeed | 04:04 |
| mynetdude | I have one, the nice thing about BT is no extra parts needed like a dongle or adapter | 04:04 |
| Herissy | but it intereferes (sometimes) with my wireless connection. | 04:04 |
| imastoopiduser | Herrissy: Ive been clean for two weeks! | 04:04 |
| mynetdude | I would actually prefer BT over USB for keyboard/mice but they are horibbly expensive | 04:04 |
| ali1 | is there a way i can get compiz fusion to restore all iys settings | 04:05 |
| mynetdude | orly? didn't know it can interfere | 04:05 |
| enaner | mynetdude, get wireless ... theyr like 30 bux | 04:05 |
| enaner | mouse and keyboard | 04:05 |
| Herissy | imastoopiduser : clean from what? | 04:05 |
| QAH | pinkster: Hey pinkster. | 04:05 |
| pinkster | qah: yeah? | 04:05 |
| imastoopiduser | windows | 04:05 |
| Herissy | lol | 04:05 |
| mynetdude | enaner thats what I mean... usb wireless kb/mice still suck you still need to plug in the receivers and all that... bluetooth doesn't need all that | 04:05 |
| QAH | pinkster: Is the flash drive - linux stuff going to mess with my main harddrive? | 04:05 |
| webcamwonder | !find compiz | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Found: compiz, compiz-bcop, compiz-core, compiz-dev, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra (and 14 others) | 04:06 |
| dlozarie | Uhm, I'm back, I must've done something wrong since nothing happened (no CD menu came up or anything.) | 04:06 |
| pinkster | qah, it shouldnt (unless you actually install) | 04:06 |
| webcamwonder | !find compiz-manager | 04:06 |
| mynetdude | for BT all you need is to pair it up if its built into your PC/laptop | 04:06 |
| brad_ | does the update manager have an internal log? | 04:06 |
| ubottu | File compiz-manager found in app-install-data, compiz-core | 04:06 |
| webcamwonder | !info compiz-manager | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Package compiz-manager does not exist in hardy | 04:06 |
| Herissy | lol my laptop is missing bluetooth connectivity so I still needed a dongle... grr. | 04:06 |
| QAH | pinkster: So this is basically like the live cd, but booting from the flash drive. | 04:06 |
| enaner | mynetdude, well you just plug in wireless to the back, and then you forget about it ... which is no big deal. UNLESS you use a laptop | 04:06 |
| Herissy | I found this out AFTER I spent the money for the mouse. | 04:07 |
| kenny | does cursor mouse have large one on ubuntu? | 04:07 |
| webcamwonder | alil do you have the compiz manager installed? | 04:07 |
| pinkster | qah: not exactly... you still need the live cd, but it allows you to save documents and programs between sessions | 04:07 |
| sugaryse | Hi all. | 04:07 |
| imastoopiduser | i bought a belkin bluetooth usb adapter, Im trying to pair my bluetooth headset and use skype | 04:07 |
| gkelly | PunjabDaSher: try this: `netcat <IP Address of XP> 445` | 04:08 |
| mynetdude | imastoopiduser the kind of headset you use with a cell phone? | 04:08 |
| QAH | pinkster: So does the live cd do stuff on your ram or something? | 04:08 |
| Herissy | skype is primitive in ubuntu. | 04:08 |
| mynetdude | imastoopiduser didn't know they had usb>bluetooth | 04:08 |
| ali1 | how can i uninstall compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:08 |
| mynetdude | oh, err my bad yes I do... the usb bluetooth dongle | 04:08 |
| mynetdude | I have the old bluetooth 1.0 dongle still | 04:08 |
| aixenv | question: with gnome can you password protect /lock them separately? or just all at once in one session | 04:08 |
| webcamwonder | alil sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:08 |
| gkelly | PunjabDaSher: does it say connection refused, or just nothing happens? Nothing happening is good (means the port is open) | 04:08 |
| Herissy | mynetdude : yeah they do. | 04:09 |
| QAH | pinkster: Okay. I am going to try this now. Thanks | 04:09 |
| webcamwonder | alil and if you wish to also remove the preferences of the program add --purge after remove | 04:09 |
| aixenv | like could you have it so when you switch desktops it asks for a password before accessing that desktop | 04:09 |
| dlozarie | guys, gparted tells me that /dev/sda1 (ntfs) has 17.86 GiB of unused space. I can use that to store my ubuntu files, right? | 04:09 |
| mynetdude | well I'll bbiab... gonna go wipe ubuntu again | 04:09 |
| PunjabDaSher | nothing happened gkelly | 04:09 |
| pinkster | qah: have fun | 04:09 |
| PunjabDaSher | i am connected wirelessly through a linksys wrt54g | 04:09 |
| webcamwonder | dlozarie yes you can mount it and use that to store your files | 04:09 |
| gkelly | ok that's good, port is open at least. brb | 04:09 |
| Phill | Anyone know if Firefox 3 will be in 8.04's apt tree - or will they only throw it in on the next Ubuntu release? [I know... I can just install it from source or something... but I'm just curious] | 04:09 |
| imastoopiduser | yep its cool, ubunt recognizes the bluetooth adapter right away its cool! | 04:10 |

| sugaryse | I am new to ubuntu.. I just installed it and it looks like my wireless is not working | 04:10 |
| sugaryse | How do I go about fixing it? | 04:10 |
| brad_ | does the update manager have an internal log? | 04:10 |
| Herissy | dlozarie : you really should have a separate partition though | 04:10 |
| sugaryse | The wireless button usually has an LED but its not lit.. I think its missing the drivers | 04:10 |
| aixenv | anyone have an idea about locking a specific desktop? | 04:10 |
| Phill | sugaryse: pray :) and give us more information | 04:11 |
| nickrud | Phill make sure you have hardy-updates enabled | 04:11 |
| dlozarie | @Herissy, I think I did install Ubuntu in a partition separate from Windows. Wait, let me check. | 04:11 |

| webcamwonder | genii: but I am thinking of forgetting the problem altogether | 04:15 |
| dlozarie | weird. what's that command you type in the terminal again to see your remaining disk space? | 04:15 |
| Herissy | using ndiswrapper Phill? | 04:15 |
| nickrud | dlozarie df -h | 04:15 |

| Herissy | ahh. | 04:16 |
| Phill | Herissy: bummer though; really wanted *nix to work on my mum's comp. | 04:16 |
| Agent_bob | if a security update has broken things in ubuntu dapper where should one look for answers ? | 04:16 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, yeah df -h. well, when I type that into the terminal, it tells me I've got 2GB left, but when I go to applications->accessories->disk usage analyzer, it says I've got 53GB available. | 04:16 |
| webcamwonder | genii: Apparently I have a stubborn little usplash and usplash_write :D.. ok nvm | 04:16 |
| nickrud | dlozarie do you have a separate /home partition? | 04:17 |
| nickrud | dlozarie hm, maybe not a useful question. How big is your disk? | 04:17 |
| Herissy | dlozarie : one says whats available on the current partition, the other shows the entire disk. | 04:18 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, well I have one disk, partitioned into two--49.3 and 62.8 GiB. | 04:18 |
| nickrud | dlozarie and between the two, do they have around 53gb free? | 04:18 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, yes I assume so. This is what the disk usage analyzer says: | 04:19 |
| nickrud | dlozarie assuming both are ext3 and both mounted | 04:19 |
| eboyjr | How can I get when a file was last modified in the command line? (unix epoch would be good) | 04:19 |

| nickrud | dlozarie why not put the output of df -h | 04:19 |

| ali1 | my cube is messed up | 04:20 |
| PunjabDaSher | I think i spoke to you earlier, you said that it just started randomly working/ | 04:20 |
| PunjabDaSher | ? | 04:20 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, okay, I'll type df -h into the terminal and then give you the pastebin URL. thnx. | 04:20 |
| ali1 | before this problem was fixed but it happened after i reinstalled ubuntu | 04:20 |
| webcamwonder | alil Did you try to change your configration from the compiz manager utility? | 04:20 |
| Herissy | well... its fixed now isn't it? | 04:20 |
| ali1 | when iam usign the cube rite | 04:20 |
| SiegeX | although I must say, being able to rotate a cube to go between windows and ubuntu is pretty sick | 04:20 |
| PunjabDaSher | hahaha | 04:20 |
| webcamwonder | alil The cube is part of Compiz Fusion, which can be easily tweaked using two main utilities | 04:21 |
| ali1 | and i stop it liek slowly zooms back to the dekstop | 04:21 |
| Herissy | whats the question Ill still try | 04:21 |
| aixenv | guys: is it possible to create an iso of my current/existing install of ubuntu? like with all my added pkgs ? | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | SiegeX sick ? | 04:21 |
| SiegeX | as in too cool for school | 04:21 |
| ali1 | i never had this problem so wat can i ajust in the ccsm to fix it | 04:21 |
| PunjabDaSher | basicall | 04:21 |
| PunjabDaSher | y | 04:21 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21725/ :) | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | SiegeX ah slick maybe ? | 04:21 |

| PunjabDaSher | k gkelly | 04:22 |
| idkfawin32 | Does anybody know any good linux programs I can use to make chiptunes(NES style songs) | 04:22 |
| nickrud | dlozarie look at sda1 and sda2 at the bottom, they are included in the baobab output | 04:22 |
| SiegeX | Agent_bob: same meaning, different slang | 04:22 |
| ali1 | it wasn't like this before | 04:22 |
| webcamwonder | alil So you should see a Advanced Desktop Effect Settings under Administration? | 04:22 |
| nickrud | dlozarie baobab = disk analyzer | 04:23 |
| gkelly | PunjabDaSher: and if your ubuntu username is different from your windows username, use `-U <windows user name>` | 04:23 |
| PunjabDaSher | gkelly: it just hangs up | 04:23 |
| ali1 | its not there...i think this can be fixed in the ccsm | 04:23 |
| HardyOne | idkfawin32, try #ubuntu-studio they should be able to help you | 04:23 |
| gkelly | what do you mean 'hangs up'? is there no output at all? | 04:23 |
| idkfawin32 | thanks | 04:23 |
| PunjabDaSher | oh wait | 04:23 |
| ali1 | iam using advanced desktop effects setting | 04:23 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, all I have on baobab is total filesystem usage: 55% | 04:23 |
| PunjabDaSher | hold on | 04:23 |
| Herissy | you mean it slams the phone down in your ear? | 04:23 |
| nickrud | dlozarie yes, that's sda5 + sda1 + sda2 | 04:23 |
| Herissy | damn windows.. | 04:24 |
| PunjabDaSher | what if there is a space in between my windows username | 04:24 |
| webcamwonder | alil So you do have the Advanced Desktop Effect Settings installed? | 04:24 |
| gkelly | try quoting it like "First Last" | 04:24 |
| nickrud | dlozarie try unmounting sda1 and sda2 , then running the analyzer again | 04:24 |
| ali1 | i hav it | 04:24 |
| PunjabDaSher | k | 04:24 |
| ali1 | thats wat iam usign | 04:24 |
| webcamwonder | alil Ok from there | 04:24 |
| webcamwonder | alil you can Tweak the Desktop Cube plugin | 04:24 |
| dlozarie | @nickrud, okay. | 04:24 |
| genewitch | Is there a 8.04 live DVD? | 04:24 |
| genewitch | or a DVD image? | 04:24 |

| aixenv | guys: is it possible to create an iso of my current/existing install of ubuntu? like with all my added pkgs ? | 04:24 |
| ali1 | but what do i twek | 04:24 |
| gkelly | PunjabDaSher: if your usernames are different, you'll always have to tell windows that you want to connect as a different user. | 04:25 |
| ali1 | i been tryin to fix it for hours | 04:25 |
| webcamwonder | alil In the desktop cube goto Behavior | 04:25 |
| ali1 | k | 04:25 |
| webcamwonder | alil and try the speed over there | 04:25 |
| gkelly | or you can look into using a samba credentials file (google it later) | 04:25 |

| legend2440 | dlozarie: to get an accurate count in Disk Usage Analyzer open edit>preferences and uncheck gvfs | 04:32 |
| gkelly | PunjabDaSher: are you sure you have all these packages installed: samba samba-common libsmbclient smbclient smbfs | 04:32 |
| Shpook | genewitch, idkfawin32: I think you can burn an image to dvd. | 04:32 |

| idkfawin32 | Shpook: I know, I did it today to get linux running on my iBook | 04:33 |
| IdleOne | idkfawin32, you can burn the cd iso to dvd just not the other way around | 04:33 |

| Agent_bob | nickrud i'm no longer seeing a ~/.font* file .font_cache was it? anyway it's not there now. what makes that file ? | 05:00 |
| genii | Bruce1: Basic methodology here would be to first mount the windows partition the ubuntu file is in, then loopmount the ubuntu file | 05:00 |

| nickrud | Agent_bob that one you would make yourself, by creating the directory and dropping a ttf file in it | 05:01 |

| NetEcho | the OpenOffice word processor package doesn't seem to work | 05:03 |

| nickrud | !dmix | 05:03 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:03 |
| mynetdude | dyf yeah that'd be a nice dictionary... I know the existing dictionary will underline red if it doesn't know the word | 05:03 |
| genii | webcamwonder: Still has that behaviour for me | 05:03 |
| mynetdude | dyf I think you're also referring to predictive typing/completion for the "guessing" part | 05:04 |
| dyf | mynetdude: kind of a "smart" dictionary | 05:04 |
| genii | Mo0oSaH: Maybe use jackd to split off the sound. I haven't tried this myself | 05:04 |
| xxjoshdenxx | dyf: Okay, ive done the photo manager but now i can access the photo, its all darkened out. how do i access the photo and add the to my pictures folder | 05:04 |
| xxjoshdenxx | ? | 05:04 |
| mynetdude | being able to correct/complete words on the fly would be nice | 05:04 |
| webcamwonder | genii: I thought the newly introduced PULSE should correct it... looks like didn't :( | 05:04 |
| Agent_bob | webcamwonder ? | 05:04 |
| dyf | mynetdude: it's weird the open source coders haven't thought of it | 05:04 |
| webcamwonder | Agent_bob | 05:04 |
| mynetdude | dyf yeah that'd be GREAT! | 05:04 |
| NetEcho | anyone else having issues with OpenOffice.Org under hardy? | 05:04 |

| dyf | xxjoshdenxx: how are you accessing the memory card? | 05:05 |
| mynetdude | dyf its weird, but at least they've thought about implementing it into the OS not app specific | 05:05 |
| Agent_bob | here's an strace on fc-cache http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d64eec0fb | 05:05 |
| Bruce1 | I have OO issues in fedora | 05:05 |
| chowder | question: I want to install the minimal CD image onto a separate partition but it needs an internet connection to download the needed files. It won't detect my wireless. Is there a way to debootstrap from the CD to the empty partition? | 05:05 |
| webcamwonder | Agent_bob that is the only font* entry I see in my jhome folder | 05:05 |
| Agent_bob | webcamwonder no. .font_cache i think was the name | 05:05 |
| Agent_bob | let me check another box | 05:05 |
| dyf | xxjoshdenxx: did you mount the memory card with gphoto2? | 05:05 |
| Zeroyez | dns53: I did that | 05:05 |
| genii | chowder: Since you need internet to install debbootstrap it could get convoluted | 05:05 |
| Zeroyez | when they booted I got something totally different though | 05:05 |
| KyleK | chowder: debootstrap tool uses the internet | 05:05 |
| xxjoshdenxx | dyf: it hasn't got a SD card, but its got like 34MB of memory on it... the name of the photos has come up but i cant click on them. Is there a change that it crashed or something? | 05:05 |
| chowder | genii: I'm doing it from within an existing installation | 05:06 |
| dns53 | Zeroyez the kernel line? make it root=/dev/sda3 or something | 05:06 |
| Zeroyez | it'd load the system after a 20 minute wait then the x server would fail to start | 05:06 |
| Zeroyez | yeah | 05:06 |
| genii | chowder: Also see what KyleK mentioned | 05:06 |
| dyf | xxjoshdenxx: are you able to copy them somewhere on your hard drive? | 05:06 |

| Agent_bob | @webcamwonder 2 | 05:09 |
| nickrud | Agent_bob you should try doing a search on bugs.ubuntu.com | 05:09 |
| dyf | vinboy: i think you'll have to get the mouse wheel daemon for a starter | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | think someone has already reported it ? i just updated last night and it borked | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | was fine before that. | 05:10 |
| Bourne | pl help.. | 05:10 |
| Bourne | any help is welcome.. | 05:10 |
| nickrud | Agent_bob probably. Very few bugs that I find aren't in the tracking system when I recognize them | 05:10 |

| nickrud | I'm tired when I write convoluted syntax like that. At least it parses ;( | 05:11 |
| webcamwonder | wers you could try to remove the application completely and reinstall from the deb? | 05:12 |
| dyf | wers: you should be able to reinstall it by double-clicking the package file | 05:12 |
| nickrud | Bourne do you have a 3d party repo added that provides mono? | 05:12 |
| wers | i lost the deb. hehe | 05:12 |
| mudit | has anyone got chat clients like yahelite or yazak working in ubuntu ? | 05:12 |

| dyf | mudit: why would you wanna run such thing? | 05:13 |
| dyf | vinboy: did it work? | 05:13 |
| Bourne | no ..i dont whats the problem exactly ..but yes..i guess i have it.. | 05:13 |
| mudit | dyf, they are the best yahoo chat clients | 05:13 |
| dyf | mudit: yahoo chat is meh | 05:13 |

| dyf | mudit: and rooms can't have more than 50 people | 05:14 |
| webcamwonder | mudit: You can use Pidgin Messenger | 05:14 |
| nickrud | Bourne what thats about is you have a package mono-addins that has that file in it. when dpkg gets ready to install a new package, it checks to be sure it's not overwriting a file from another package. | 05:14 |
| chowder | info on my question @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/21741/ | 05:14 |

| PPKuma | hi, anybody here knows if its possible to mount a bin/cue w/o converting it to an iso? | 05:14 |
| nickrud | Bourne so someone didn't write their package to follow the ubuntu file structure. | 05:14 |
| dyf | mudit: use pidgin.. one program to connect to all protocols | 05:15 |
| BlueLaguna | After 6 hours of trying to do a clean Ubuntu install, it seems my HD won't work without a kernel module being loaded... | 05:15 |

| dyf | mudit: voice in yahoo chat is one person getting the mic and putting lame music all the time | 05:15 |
| BlueLaguna | dyf: I never said I did? | 05:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueLaguna cant you add that to /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:16 |

| Bourne | so what can be done in order to resolve this problem.. | 05:17 |
| dyf | unavailable: i don't like voice chat anyway | 05:17 |

| PunjabDaSher | hey guys how can i check if my webcam is functioning correctly (it's an integrated webcam) | 05:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueLaguna to get into your install now.. hit escape on boot to get grub menu then e then e then make the edit.. which will only work for this session then gksodu like I showed you | 05:17 |

| dyf | unavailable: virtual box? never heard of that.. is it some kind of fork of wine? | 05:19 |
| pbts | hi. i would like some help with my webcam, if someone has the know-how & time... | 05:19 |
| nickrud | Bourne apt-get remove --purge mono-addins . You might find it trying to remove some other packages that were installed from the 3d party repo as well | 05:19 |
| unavailable | dyf nope | 05:19 |
| krisbo9000 | :) | 05:19 |
| pbts | virtual box is not like wine | 05:19 |
| mynetdude | unavailable virtualbox does virtualization right? | 05:19 |
| unavailable | dyf its a virtual box you can install any type of os on | 05:19 |
| pbts | it's like vmware | 05:19 |
| unavailable | yep | 05:20 |
| BlueLaguna | Jack_Sparrow: I've already installed the system. Modproble is a kernel option? | 05:20 |
| mynetdude | ah so it is a vmware type thing | 05:20 |
| krisbo9000 | can you run word 2003 through virtua box if you set it up right? | 05:20 |
| pbts | the built in camera is of a type that is recognized (it's in the list on the uvcvideo page) | 05:20 |

| BlueLaguna | Jack_Sparrow: I didn't realize it could be passed along with those options? I thought it was a command | 05:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueLaguna I am just suggesting a different way to handle this | 05:20 |
| Jewfro | krisbo9000, you can run anything the OS you install in virtualbox can run. | 05:20 |
| dyf | unavailable: i see.. that's much of a hassle don't you think? i mean install skype on linux and move along.. what that stuff you have to install a virtual box and probably do some weird configurations to get it to work | 05:20 |
| pbts | but luvcview says error 22 (which is a well-known but apparently unfixed error on the net...) | 05:20 |
| Bourne | after doing "apt-get remove --purge mono-addins" | 05:20 |
| unavailable | dyf less hassle than getting all my friends to move to skype | 05:21 |
| dyf | unavailable: my suggestion is use skype | 05:21 |
| pbts | and ekiga, camaroma just say they cannot connect to the device | 05:21 |
| unavailable | dyf thats why skype is crap | 05:21 |
| dyf | unavailable: lol | 05:21 |
| Bourne | i am getting "E: Couldn't find package mono-addins" | 05:21 |
| nickrud | Bourne sorry, mono-addins-0.3 | 05:21 |
| mynetdude | dyf I noticed ubuntu comes with some kind of softphone but I know nothing | 05:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueLaguna To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 05:21 |
| Jewfro | dyf - virtualbox is quite easy, but seems like overkill for YIM - I'd try wine | 05:21 |
| unavailable | dyf ill stick with my virtualbox | 05:21 |
| BlueLaguna | Jack_Sparrow: You misunderstand me | 05:21 |

| unavailable | jewfro bringatowel dyf im using what i like, i dont need help.. | 05:23 |
| BlueLaguna | Jack_Sparrow: In order to get the LiveCD running, I had to pass the "break=top" boot option so I could do "mod_probe ide_generic". The kernel doesn't seem to like my hard drive otherwise. However, now that I have it installed, it didn't boot at first. Instead it fell back to the initrdfs console and I had to type modprobe again in order to boot | 05:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueLaguna I understand you have installed ubuntu.. I am sipl suggesting you can add all_generic_ide to the command line at boot or one of the other many options that some people need | 05:23 |
| BlueLaguna | I see | 05:24 |

| unavailable | bringatowel i didnt | 05:25 |
| Jewfro | NetEcho, try renaming the .openoffice.org2 in your home folder to .openoffice.org2~ - and see if it launches - could be botched settings | 05:25 |

| NetEcho | did that about 6 times heh | 05:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlueLaguna I know you got it installed... I am saying you can test what I am telling you by running the livecd again and editing the command line... or you can boot your existing install and do a one time edit of your grub command line or you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:27 |

| elia | hi, i just got the ubuntu....first time with linux and i am having problems with downloading things ie: opera for linux. i download it and extract but after i open the extracted folder and click run nothing happens | 05:35 |
| morghanphoenix | Anything that short would be a waste to use pastebin. | 05:35 |
| dyf | Datz: are you having trouble identifying which one is the hard drive you want to mount? | 05:35 |
| Datz | dyf I think it was renamed when I upgraded to "hardy". How would I find it now? | 05:36 |
| webcamwonder | eliva You can get the debian package for opera... that would install directly | 05:36 |
| dyf | Datz: "hda" is deprecated | 05:36 |
| dyf | Datz: they use "sda" only now | 05:36 |
| elia | webcamwonder were is that? | 05:36 |
| dyf | no "hda" no more | 05:36 |
| webcamwonder | elisa wait | 05:36 |

| dyf | mixed: what more about ubuntu do you want to learn? | 05:49 |
| jrib | mixed: check your private messages | 05:49 |
| azazel | crimsun_, Yes | 05:49 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: install the pavucontrol package. | 05:49 |

| azazel | crimsun_, Done | 05:50 |
| Bourne | and then using sharpdevelop in windows i compiled it for mono platform. | 05:50 |
| LivingInTwilight | You know, this is halfway ridiculous. I've never seen a distro where 3D acceleration AND WPA2 wireless worked out of the box. | 05:50 |
| Bourne | and then after coming to unix platform | 05:51 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: now start pavucontrol | 05:51 |
| Bourne | i reinstalled latest mono version | 05:51 |
| azazel | crimsun_, Done | 05:51 |
| dyf | mixed: i don't think you can learn these technical details with ubuntu documentation | 05:51 |

| azazel | crimsun_, I don't see it in there | 05:52 |
| dyf | mixed: get a more geeky distro | 05:52 |
| mixed | dyf, true, that is why i am opting for a website instead | 05:52 |
| nickrud | Bourne there's some forums there as well. This is an ubuntu system help channel, not mono programming | 05:52 |

| azazel | crimsun_, Show: All Output Devices | 05:53 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: ah, probably a channel mapping issue, then. | 05:53 |
| Bourne | i understand what you are saying | 05:53 |
| mixed | and more importantly, can i buy a "life" on ebay?? | 05:53 |
| azazel | crimsun_, Ahh, what should I be looking for then? | 05:54 |

| GoldeNArX | if I do dmesg it says "link not ready" | 05:54 |
| GoldeNArX | anyone? | 05:54 |
| dyf | mixed: life is an invalid operation | 05:54 |

| LivingInTwilight | rrowell, I know, right? My Toshiba A305 works like a champ, too. | 05:55 |
| Geoffrey2 | since the ogg format is regularly promoted around here...where can I find music in that format? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | Bourne no, I understand frustration with an error you can't track down, just that you're gonna get very lucky to get programming help in a pm from here | 05:55 |
| crimsun_ | rrowell: I'm sure they would appreciate a note on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list :-) | 05:55 |
| dyf | mixed: i think you would need a sophisticated backup program for that.. i'm not a pro user myself | 05:55 |
| ronin12345 | anyone know how to update to the latest version of fglrx? | 05:55 |
| azazel | crimsun_, Nope | 05:55 |

| gitfiddler | hi all, having trouble updating ubuntu 6.10, get error message saying not all repository indexes could be downloaded. is this a problem on my end or have these moved or something? | 05:55 |
| azazel | crimsun_, It plays it but I don't hear a thing through my pc cspeakers | 05:55 |
| nickrud | gitfiddler 6.10 is now obsolete | 05:56 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: how about `aplay -Dplughw:1 /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'? | 05:56 |
| gitfiddler | yah, hence effort to update | 05:56 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: and, err, I assume you have your speakers connected to the ATI card and not the onboard? | 05:56 |
| K^Holtz | OK, my printer just complained that it was out of ink, but i have no way of telling which cartridge is out. I have a Canon IP5000 printer. In windows, a box would come up with printer properties, but i dont have this in Linux. Any way to get those canon windows to display? | 05:56 |
| aixenv | gitfiddler : maybe you have a bad link in /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 05:56 |
| azazel | aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such file or directory | 05:56 |
| nickrud | gitfiddler you can use old-release.ubuntu.com to bring it totally up to date so you can upgrade to 7.04 | 05:57 |
| azazel | I have both | 05:57 |
| azazel | I have speakers going to my sound system | 05:57 |
| nickrud | gitfiddler old-releases.ubuntu.com that is | 05:57 |
| mixed | dyf, thanks for the 411, I am off to read the websites you pointed me to | 05:57 |
| Bourne | ya...the mono ppl really dont help that fast...may be they are busy.. | 05:57 |
| gitfiddler | hmm, that link didn't work | 05:57 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: hmm? That error is odd. | 05:57 |
| azazel | And HDMI on the 56" TV I'm sitting in front of | 05:57 |
| Bourne | but if you can tell me smone that would really help.. | 05:57 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: are you sure you copied the command correctly? | 05:57 |
| gitfiddler | that got it | 05:57 |
| Geoffrey2 | of course, one could always just download the iso, burn it to cd, and do a fresh install from that.... | 05:58 |

| dkam | Hey guys - is there any way to get a newer version of rubygems onto a hardy box using apt? | 05:59 |
| crimsun_ | azazel: right. What's connected to your HDMI? | 06:00 |
| dkam | For example - can I add a testing source? | 06:00 |
| aixenv | dkam : 1.8 is on there | 06:00 |
| KyleK | rrowell: remove the other ones? | 06:00 |
| jrib | rrowell: be more specific about what you mean by "bork". If you have linux-image-generic installed and no other general linux-image-*, it should work fine | 06:00 |
| dkam | aixenv rubygems - not ruby | 06:00 |

| ronin12345 | flgrx how do i install the latest version? | 06:01 |

| dkam | aixenv: The version of ruby gems included in Hardy doesn't work with low memory - (256mb xen box). I can compile my own version, but I was wondering if Ubuntu, like Debian, allows you to add extra sources for specific packages. | 06:04 |
| PunjabDaSher | the sharing works between windows computers | 06:04 |
| aixenv | dkam: yes it does | 06:04 |
| PunjabDaSher | so i have the sharing set up correctly | 06:04 |
| GoldeNArX | if I want to force a nic to use 100mbit instead of auto negotiate | 06:04 |
| aixenv | dkam: that's an apt-get thing not an ubuntu thing | 06:04 |
| GoldeNArX | how would I do that | 06:04 |
| rrowell | jrib: but after each upgrade ubuntu blows away my menu.lst and the machine boots the i386 kernel in preference to the -generic... I'd like to have the -i386 kernel around I just don't want to boot it by default | 06:04 |
| aixenv | dkam: i'd check their website for possible other source choices for devel, or just compile from a tarball? | 06:05 |
| dkam | aixenv: Righto - I'll have a look. I can do it manually - but I'd like to be able to install it with puppet - which means apt is better/easier. | 06:05 |
| aixenv | dkam: idea#2 make your own pkg :) | 06:06 |
| aixenv | there's a ruby channel ive been in there before they might have an idea too | 06:06 |
| jrib | rrowell: ah, I see. Don't know then | 06:06 |
| aixenv | #rubygems if i recall | 06:06 |
| aixenv | rrowell : modify your /boot/grub/menu.1st after each kernel upgrade? | 06:07 |
| rrowell | jrib: for example, during the upgrade the i386 Nvidia drivers were auto-installed but not the -generic ones which I had to install manually via Synaptic, and I had to edit menu.lst to set the default kernel at boot... | 06:07 |
| rrowell | aixenv, that is what I'm doing now | 06:07 |
| rrowell | but like you can see what I said to jrib, it is only half the solution at best... | 06:08 |
| aixenv | rrowell : that's sufficient man, just edit it once per kernel upgrade, | 06:08 |
| aixenv | as long as you dont recompile/update the kernel your menu.1st should "stick" | 06:08 |
| aixenv | rrowell : maybe try the menu.1st as 666 :P | 06:08 |

| HybridZero | Does anyone here happen to have a guide on setting up an FTP server which I can use as a PHP testing server? | 06:34 |
| HybridZero | I assume I'd need to map the ftp server to /var/www and somehow allow write access to that directory, but I'm not sure how to go about it, or even if there's a different preferred method rather than mapping to /var/www and messing with permissions | 06:35 |
| NetEcho | rayvis no but I just finished doing it | 06:35 |
| NetEcho | whats up? | 06:35 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : why not just use a webserver? | 06:35 |
| Quintin | HybridZero: Don't use FTP, use scp | 06:35 |
| forestangeljulie | hey i need help with firefox | 06:35 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, right now I cannot get terminal to open....the window opens up completely white with no command prompt, trying to exit gets me the "not responding" error message.... | 06:35 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : and ftp sends over plaintext use sftp,scp etc secure protocols | 06:35 |
| HybridZero | aixenv: That's what I'm going for, I'm just trying to set up FTP access to simplify transferring my files into /var/www | 06:35 |
| LogicalDash | How can I generate a makefile that doesn't do anything? | 06:36 |
| aixenv | Geoffrey2 : did you play with your color settings? | 06:36 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : use rsync | 06:36 |
| orfeo | hello? | 06:36 |
| NetEcho | rayvis are you having issues with mac4lin? | 06:36 |
| orfeo | im new here | 06:36 |
| kenny | hello, anyone here help me to solve my workspace problem??? | 06:36 |
| HybridZero | Also, whatever the simplest solution is for file transfer is fine for me. This machine is just on my home network and not exposed to the internet | 06:36 |
| doglino | can i to talk here? | 06:36 |
| forestangeljulie | can someone help me? firefox won't install | 06:36 |
| Twan | Ok I have a 'Network Monitor' at the top of my Ubuntu screen on the panel. If I go to properties > configure, it asks for my root password, then gives me a screen that says 'The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration.' | 06:36 |
| forestangeljulie | how long do i have to wait before firefox 3 comes to the ubuntu network? | 06:37 |
| Geoffrey2 | aixenv: not at all | 06:37 |
| webcamwonder | Firefox 3 is already in the repository | 06:37 |
| bazhang | forestangeljulie, read the topic | 06:37 |
| HybridZero | forestangeljulie: It's already out | 06:37 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: it's already there | 06:37 |
| darthanubis | nautilus won't start anymore | 06:37 |
| forestangeljulie | yes i know that | 06:37 |
| Twan | In fact, I can't access anything under Administration. | 06:37 |
| darthanubis | gnome panel either | 06:37 |
| forestangeljulie | but it wont install | 06:37 |
| Twan | Basically it seems I've been locked out of my system! | 06:37 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : cd to/path/you/wanna/transfer ; rsync -av . $user@$server-you-want-files-transferred-to:/path/to/store/files/on/server/ (if within your local network, if outside use -e ssh) | 06:37 |
| darthanubis | NEVEr seen this before | 06:37 |
| Apples | Hey, I'm just wondering where I should compile a file? I read somewhere that it was inside /urs/share/??? | 06:37 |
| forestangeljulie | whenever i go to the "add/remove apps" thingy, firefox 3 isn't there | 06:37 |
| doglino | :) | 06:37 |
| Twan | gedit files are being opened as read-only...its like I'm some sort of peon! | 06:38 |
| t12398123 | Anyone seeing issues with wired networking not working under 8.04 after reboot (possible bad update?) | 06:38 |
| HybridZero | Also I suppose I should clarify: I'm editing files on a windows machine, and then transferring them to the testing server. That's why I figured FTP might be the simplest solution. | 06:38 |
| webcamwonder | Twan try to do gksu gedit [filepath] | 06:38 |
| kenshin | hi, when i select ubutnu from the grub menu, it won't load | 06:38 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: have you tried synaptic? | 06:38 |
| aixenv | t12398123 : i had to recompile to get my wireless working but after that worked like a charm | 06:38 |
| forestangeljulie | yes | 06:38 |

| kenshin | if i select windows it loads fine | 06:38 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : use winscp | 06:39 |
| forestangeljulie | not there | 06:39 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: do you still have the beta version? | 06:39 |
| forestangeljulie | no | 06:39 |
| t12398123 | aixenv how'd you recompile? | 06:39 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: what version do you have? | 06:39 |
| aixenv | t12398123 : i had to build a new kernel module for my crappy wireless | 06:39 |
| forestangeljulie | firefox 2 | 06:39 |
| tsarivangrozny | Ive managed to install Ubuntu on my Dell Optiplex 320 however I cannot boot into it, it ends up going to pretty much a blank screen with like a green square | 06:39 |
| Twan | Still read-only | 06:39 |
| t12398123 | hmm | 06:39 |
| HybridZero | aixenv: scp uses ssh to transfer right? | 06:39 |
| tsarivangrozny | how do i boot into ubuntu on my dell optiplex 320? | 06:39 |
| kenny | i still cannot switch to second workspace...after i tried so many ways, can help me pls..... | 06:39 |
| forestangeljulie | i have the zip file | 06:39 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : yes sir :) | 06:39 |
| philsf | do you have the hardy-updates repository enabled? | 06:39 |
| webcamwonder | Twan could you describe what you are tryuing to acheive? | 06:39 |
| Apples | kenshin: did it stop working after an update, then restart ? | 06:40 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: do you have the hardy-updates repository enabled? | 06:40 |
| matt__ | hi | 06:40 |
| Bhavesh | !bootparams | 06:40 |
| forestangeljulie | no idea what that is | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Factoid bootparams not found | 06:40 |
| forestangeljulie | so no | 06:40 |
| Twan | Wait no, apparently there was just a screwup in the properties of that. | 06:40 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : winscp is a winblows app /gui to utilize scp worksnice i use it a ton at work when dealing with windows servers@work | 06:40 |
| Bhavesh | !boot | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 06:40 |
| matt__ | i am so confused | 06:40 |
| kenshin | Apples, i actually used grub superdisk to repair grub | 06:40 |
| HybridZero | aixenv: Yep, I've used winscp in the past actually in other situations | 06:40 |
| philsf | !repo | forestangeljulie | 06:40 |
| aixenv | matt_: with? | 06:40 |
| ubottu | forestangeljulie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 06:40 |
| Twan | I'm trying to get my Ubuntu laptop back online...after I installed like 115 updates, I am no longer authorized to do anything Administration related. | 06:40 |
| matt__ | wat evry1 is saying! | 06:40 |
| scifiguy951 | how can i completely remove wine from my comp?? | 06:40 |
| HybridZero | Okay, so that portion of the setup is ready to rock then...the only other question I have then is how I should login / set permissions to allow me to transfer directly to /var/www? | 06:40 |
| kenshin | Apples, i did delete and recreated a windows partition | 06:41 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : if you're doing transfer from doze to linux ; options are winscp or install cygwin and then use rsync like i stated :) | 06:41 |
| webcamwonder | scifiguy851: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine | 06:41 |
| Quintin | scifiguy951: sudo aptitude purge wine ; rm -r ~/.wine | 06:41 |
| forestangeljulie | where do i find the hardy updates repo? | 06:41 |
| matt__ | its all gibberish to me | 06:41 |
| HybridZero | Any thoughts on that aspect of my setup aixenv? | 06:41 |
| Quintin | webcamwonder: apt-get is usually considered depracted | 06:41 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: basically, you can open System/Administration/Soft. sources, and enable -updates there, in the updates tab | 06:41 |
| t12398123 | So I never get a DHCP lease even though the same network cable on a different computer will get one, what's up with wired networking? | 06:41 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : if that were my project.. i'd install cygwin, install rsync, and use rsync, i love rsync i use it on a daily basis multiple times a day | 06:41 |
| webcamwonder | Quintin: good to finally know what.... had no idea :s | 06:41 |
| matt__ | aaaaaah,, im sry but vye vye | 06:41 |
| Twan | So why is Ubuntu locking me out of my System Administration? | 06:42 |
| HybridZero | I'll likely install cygwin at some point in the near future...I miss my terminal | 06:42 |
| Apples | kenshin: Try editing the grub menu partitions, it might be trying to boot off a partition that doesn't exist | 06:42 |
| Twan | Is there something I could type in terminal to re-authenticate? | 06:42 |
| kenny | i cannot switch between workspaces pls help me.... | 06:42 |
| kenshin | Apples, how do i do that? | 06:42 |
| Twan | like 'sudo givemepermission' | 06:42 |
| Bhavesh | Twan: it's a way of protecting system from mistakes | 06:42 |
| aixenv | hybridZero : that's the slickest/easiest/foolproof way to do what you want bud | 06:42 |
| Uplink | how do i kill firefox? there are like 100 windows popping up | 06:42 |
| aixenv | kenny: control+alt+arrow? | 06:42 |
| Bhavesh | so you can use sudo 'cmd' to run cmd that needs admin priviledge | 06:42 |
| kenshin | Apples, i can access the menu.lst something file from ubutnu cd | 06:42 |
| HybridZero | Would I need to change directory permissions or anything in order to get the files to transfer to /var/www correctly, since ordinarily I'd have to sudo to do it? | 06:42 |
| kenny | yes | 06:42 |
| aixenv | Uplink : open terminal - su or sudo to root and killall firefox | 06:42 |
| Bhavesh | Uplink: open a terminal window, type kiall firefox | 06:43 |
| nickrud | Twan do groups in a terminal, and paste the output here (one line) | 06:43 |
| webcamwonder | Bhavesh: wouldn't su suffice? | 06:43 |
| forestangeljulie | i clicked enable updates and the window closed on me | 06:43 |
| Uplink | ty aixenv, Bhavesh | 06:43 |
| forestangeljulie | said that it was out of date | 06:43 |
| nickrud | forestangeljulie annoying, isn't it? But that's how it works | 06:43 |
| aixenv | Bhavesh : kiall is that a new alias? :P | 06:43 |
| Twan | archie adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin | 06:43 |
| Twan | I usually login to Ubuntu under 'archie' | 06:43 |
| forestangeljulie | nickrud: quite annoying | 06:43 |
| Bhavesh | killall sorry | 06:43 |
| forestangeljulie | i miss windows | 06:43 |
| Twan | Never had any problems until these recent updates... | 06:43 |
| forestangeljulie | i hope mint is better | 06:43 |
| Bhavesh | aixenv killall :) | 06:43 |
| t12398123 | is there a way to see a list of the last installed packages on my system? | 06:43 |
| aixenv | HybridZero : no sir it'd be fine | 06:43 |
| aixenv | Bhavesh : just jokin :P | 06:43 |
| Apples | kenshin: press 'e' on the option in the grub menu, or you could edit it the menu.lst file | 06:43 |
| Bhavesh | i am looking for boot params :) how to disable dma | 06:43 |
| kenshin | hmm | 06:43 |
| kenshin | Apples, and then? | 06:44 |
| Bhavesh | np :) | 06:44 |
| HybridZero | aixenv: Okay, I'll grab cygwin and give it a shot. Thanks for all your help, you are awesome :) | 06:44 |
| nickrud | Twan you are in the admin group, so you should be able to do admin stuff. sudo ls, do that and give me the output, if it's more than one line put it on paste.ubuntu.com | 06:44 |
| kenshin | Apples, how do i fix it? | 06:44 |
| forestangeljulie | phil: ok, i enabled updates | 06:44 |
| forestangeljulie | now what do i do | 06:44 |
| tsarivangrozny | when trying to boot into ubuntu i get a screen that in the upper left has a blinking cursor then in the middle it has the character b in the middle of the screen then is a green square and at the far right is a green square what is going on? | 06:44 |
| aixenv | t12398123 : dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 06:44 |
| Bhavesh | i have fakeraid controller, and every time i attach a drive to it, kernel won't boot | 06:44 |
| forestangeljulie | groznygrad!! | 06:44 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: did you "reload" the sources, when it suggested? | 06:44 |
| aixenv | t12398123 : will show you all your install pkgs | 06:44 |
| forestangeljulie | well, i did | 06:44 |
| Uplink | aixenv, i just satisfied my curiosity... i hope there are no virus :( | 06:44 |
| t12398123 | thank you aixenv, you're awesome | 06:44 |
| forestangeljulie | but it just unchecked everything | 06:44 |
| Apples | kenshin: the thing you are looking for will look something like (hd0,0) or (hd1,0) | 06:44 |
| aixenv | Uplink : why would you wanna do that? | 06:45 |
| aixenv | t12398123 : /bow | 06:45 |
| Twan | sudo ls just brings up the files under /home/archie/ | 06:45 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: "it" what? unchecked what? | 06:45 |
| Uplink | aixenv, i went there already... lol... u said not to worry | 06:45 |
| Twan | The files and folders | 06:45 |
| aixenv | Uplink : if i say jump off a bridge are you going to? | 06:45 |
| kenshin | Apples, yeah and what do i do when i find it? | 06:45 |
| nickrud | Twan so you're using sudo ok. open another terminal, and repeat. Does it ask for your password? | 06:45 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: please, use prefix your answers to me with my nick | 06:45 |
| kenshin | Apples, my hdd is sata | 06:45 |
| scifiguy951 | i deleted my .wine folder a while ago,,,what should i do?? | 06:45 |
| forestangeljulie | yeah sorry | 06:45 |
| Twan | Yes | 06:45 |
| forestangeljulie | i'm used to small channels | 06:45 |
| Uplink | aixenv, yea with a bungee | 06:45 |
| Twan | It did | 06:45 |
| Uplink | :D | 06:45 |
| kenny | :~~ control+alt+arrow doesn't work, pls help me....:~~~~ | 06:45 |
| kenshin | Apples, if that is necessary :D | 06:45 |
| Twan | In the new terminal | 06:45 |
| Lunar_Lamp | scifiguy951: run winecfg I think | 06:45 |
| aixenv | Uplink : heh | 06:45 |
| Lunar_Lamp | scifiguy951: I think that will recreate it. | 06:46 |
| bazhang | Uplink, please stop. | 06:46 |
| Bhavesh | kenny what are you trying to do with ctrl-alt-arrow? | 06:46 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: i have important security updates, recommended updates, and pre-released updates checked | 06:46 |
| scifiguy951 | ok | 06:46 |
| kenny | switch to another workspace | 06:46 |
| Uplink | aixenv, how to i launch firefox without going to the last link i visited? | 06:46 |
| aixenv | t12398123 : shouldnt be an empty list | 06:46 |
| nickrud | Twan ok, that's all good. now run gksu synaptic , does it ask for your password in a gui? | 06:46 |
| scifiguy951 | yeah it did thanks | 06:46 |
| scifiguy951 | !!=D | 06:46 |
| ubottu | Factoid d not found | 06:46 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: then it downloaded something and the window closed | 06:46 |
| aixenv | uplink : just open firefox and it will ask new or saved session pick new | 06:46 |
| kenny | bhavesh, swith to another workspace | 06:46 |
| Bhavesh | Uplink you should have an icon to click from the menu | 06:46 |
| Bhavesh | oh | 06:47 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: should firefox 3 be available in the software updates? | 06:47 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: ok, now you can open synaptic and install the firefox-3.0 package | 06:47 |
| Apples | kenshin: That's fine, usually the problem is that grub is pointing to the wrong partition, so you could change grub to point to the right one, or you could change your boot order( which could be the easy fix) | 06:47 |
| Uplink | ty aixenv :) | 06:47 |
| aixenv | kenny : maybe reboot: it could be a glitch: .. do you even have more than 1 desktop? | 06:47 |
| forestangeljulie | um, ok, i'll try | 06:47 |
| Bhavesh | kenny sorry can't answer that.. i haven't gotten used to ubuntu yet :) | 06:47 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: if you had a previous version of firefox 3, yes, not firefox 2 | 06:47 |
| aixenv | kenny: do you see like 3-4-5-6 desktops at the bottom right? | 06:47 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: which seems to be the case for you | 06:47 |
| aixenv | kenny : if so which is highlighted? | 06:47 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: no, i didn't have the previous version of firefox 2 | 06:47 |
| forestangeljulie | firefox 3* | 06:47 |
| forestangeljulie | i have firefox 2 | 06:47 |
| forestangeljulie | no betas | 06:47 |
| Twan | It opens up Synaptic Package Manager and says 'An error has occured. E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 06:48 |
| Bhavesh | funny, i just installed ubuntu=server and my host name is iceman :) | 06:48 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: you are using hardy? | 06:48 |
| kenny | aixenv, i only use two workspace, and it highlight my umber one, but when i click no.2 it's doest work at all... | 06:48 |
| Apples | kenshin: changing grub to point to the right one will just involve changing that (hd1,1) to (hd0,1) or (hd0,0) | 06:48 |
| nickrud | Twan ok, close synaptic and run sudo dpkg --configure -a . | 06:48 |
| forestangeljulie | yes | 06:48 |
| forestangeljulie | oh wait | 06:48 |
| forestangeljulie | i see it | 06:48 |
| Twan | Ok... Generating generic | 06:48 |
| kenshin | Apples, i've only one harddisk, it's sata | 06:48 |
| ogzy | hi i am having problems with waking up my laptop from suspend. At the first suspend it wokes up and shows the graphic interface, though at the second try it goes to suspend mode doesnt wake up, what can be the problem? | 06:48 |
| forestangeljulie | firefox 3 | 06:48 |
| forestangeljulie | but it's not a package | 06:48 |
| Twan | Setting up gdb, sudo | 06:48 |
| FloodBot1 | forestangeljulie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:48 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: ok, so firefox-3.0 will be downloaded from hardy-updates when you install it from synaptic | 06:48 |
| aixenv | kenny: lame question, but did you try and reboot? i mean hell it could fix the problem right? control+alt+arrow to right or left should alternate desktops, or you should be able to click the 'square' | 06:49 |
| generic | twan what u mean | 06:49 |
| scifiguy951 | okay so i removed wine with "sudo aptitude purge ECT.." and i still have wine in my app menu.. how do i get rid of it? | 06:49 |
| Twan | Installing new version of config file | 06:49 |
| kenshin | Apples, but about 8 partitions including ntfs,fat | 06:49 |
| Twan | Ok its just isntalling....will update back! | 06:49 |
| thetooth | hey | 06:49 |
| Twan | generic: Wasn't talking to you, lol. It came up on my screen. | 06:49 |
| generic | i was looking openct to write a certificate on usb | 06:49 |
| thetooth | i've srewed my partsions | 06:49 |
| generic | ok | 06:49 |
| Bhavesh | scifiguy951 try exiting out of the desktop and going in.. may be the delete has not taken place yet | 06:49 |
| aixenv | wow if i ever want a channel that's hoppin it's ubuntu | 06:49 |
| aixenv | lol | 06:49 |
| t12398123 | haha | 06:49 |
| t12398123 | yeah | 06:50 |
| tsarivangrozny | could anyone help me with my boot problem on the dell optiplex 320? | 06:50 |
| scifiguy951 | exiting out of the desktop?? | 06:50 |
| aixenv | foreign concept to me | 06:50 |
| thetooth | can any one help | 06:50 |
| Twan | nickrud: It's setting up a ton of stuff. Is this normal? | 06:50 |
| Apples | kenshin: Ah ok, unless you know the number of the partition , you might just have to try changing (hda0,*) to (hda,1-7) | 06:50 |
| aixenv | kenny: lets try that 'reboot' and see if perhaps that fixes the problem, if not come back and we'll troubleshoot more thoroughly | 06:50 |
| kenny | aixenv i try many times to reboot my laptop, but it won't work and even i try to click the square also doensn't work too and i really make me blur right now | 06:50 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: the package name is firefox, which install firefox-3.0 and other related packages | 06:50 |
| nickrud | scifiguy951 try alt-f2 killall gnome-panel , that will restart your panel and reload the menus. Although I hear wine form winehq leaves the menu item. | 06:50 |
| philsf | it's there | 06:50 |
| aixenv | kenny: try adjusting the number to say 4 desktops | 06:50 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: i'm downloading it from synaptic | 06:51 |
| aixenv | kenny: right mouse click on your desktops at bottom right and select properties | 06:51 |
| nickrud | Twan yes, if you had interrupted an install run | 06:51 |
| forestangeljulie | but it's not in the add/remove apps thing | 06:51 |
| aixenv | sorry "preferences" | 06:51 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: it only shows up in synaptic | 06:51 |
| Twan | That might be what happened. My laptop likes to overheat and I did it before I went to bed so it mightve overheated. | 06:51 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: also, I just read you also enabled the pre-release repo, which I don't recommend for a stable desktop experience | 06:51 |
| kenshin | Apples, thanks for the help pal. :D | 06:51 |
| ogzy | can someone tell me here when i press the suspend button at system menu, what exactly executes so that i can check the code for finding the problem | 06:51 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: it is, under the name "firefox" | 06:51 |
| forestangeljulie | ok sorry | 06:51 |
| scifiguy951 | it didnt remove it | 06:51 |
| Apples | kenshin: No problem, happy I could help : ) | 06:51 |
| scifiguy951 | its still there | 06:51 |
| KyleK | <3 grub tab completion | 06:51 |
| aixenv | kenny: my settings are as follows: --> "show all workspaces in 1 row" , number of workspaces = 4 ; mimic that and lets see if you can alternate to another desktop | 06:52 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: the 3 is implied, as it's the latest version | 06:52 |
| nickrud | Twan so when you said 'administrative stuff' you were actually talking about installing programs? | 06:52 |
| forestangeljulie | philsf: but there's one called "firefox 2" | 06:52 |
| Twan | No...I did the 'install updates' bar that always comes up | 06:52 |
| Twan | And then went to bed | 06:52 |
| Twan | So it mightve overheated during the updates | 06:52 |
| aixenv | eh im on call i better check email rq heh | 06:52 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: that's the "old" version | 06:52 |
| forestangeljulie | i'm confused | 06:53 |
| nickrud | scifiguy951 then you can right click the menu bar, edit menus and disable it so you don't see it | 06:53 |

| scifiguy951 | ok | 06:53 |
| aixenv | thetooth: dualboot? | 06:53 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: I don't get with what you're confused: there's firefox 2 and 3, and both are there. The default is 3 | 06:53 |
| Starnestommy | thetooth: you probably selected the wrong partition | 06:53 |
| Twan | Local security certificates must be replaced! | 06:53 |

| nickrud | Twan that's a big time security bug, let it fix it | 06:54 |
| philsf | forestangeljulie: I also recommend you disable the pre-release repo, or you might experience some regressions | 06:54 |
| Twan | I don't give a crap about security on this thing. | 06:55 |
| Twan | I hate systems like that. I browse the Internet with Firefox at my house. | 06:55 |
| aixenv | kenny: open a terminal.. rightmouse click.. goto "move to another workspace" and then move it elsewhere and tell me if it disappears | 06:55 |

| esac | !sound | 07:27 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:27 |

| esac | airstrikeivanov, what sound card do you have? | 07:28 |

| IndyGunFreak | BlueLaguna: regular xchat is probably the best one, or if you want to go really wild w/ CLI, use irssi | 07:29 |
| stunatra | Xchat is very similar to Konversation. | 07:29 |

| esac | does your computer have 2 sound cards ? it sounds like you would have an onboard soundcard and an add-in one | 07:30 |

| rainabba | The following link talks about compiling libpixmap. I've installed libcairo2-dev and I get the impression that should include libpixmap, but I'm not sure, nor do I know where the source could be. I think the document assumes too much. Can anyone shed any light on this? Ultimately I'm trying to hardware-accelerate Cairo-Dock.

| thenightbeckons | Good Afternoon, I have a question regarding the installation of Ubuntu. I currently have XP installed, and would like to do a reformat + clean install of 8.04. Will this be done if I boot using ISO image downloaded and burned and select the 2nd partition option (use all of the HDD) using install? | 08:28 |
| Mo0oSaH | theron: that's the one I'm using | 08:28 |
| ompaul | tenX, yeap | 08:28 |
| theron | easier than that, can get it from add/remove :-p | 08:28 |
| theron | it is huh....are the rest of your swf players uninstalled? | 08:28 |

| QAH | Hey guys. I need some help making my Gusty live cd persistent! | 08:28 |
| tenX | freshtonic: alright, what version is wireshark/ethereal at? does it make a difference at all? | 08:28 |
| theron | you should check to see in firefox 3's plugins if there's others there | 08:28 |
| tenX | ompaul: thought there were major improvements... | 08:29 |
| freshtonic | thenightbeckons: if you use the 'all of HDD' option (can't recall exact wording) then it will destroy any data + OS on your drive. Sounds like what you want | 08:29 |
| seek_therapy | watch my ***** you mean | 08:29 |
| theron | sometimes even if the right one is there it uses another on firefox 3 Mo0oSaH | 08:29 |
| QAH | Is there anyone that can help me? | 08:29 |
| SpiderDan | I have an external USB drive, formatted NTFS, that won't auto-mount in hardy. when I plug it in, /dev/sdb shows up, but it won't mount | 08:29 |
| Mo0oSaH | theron I can't quite remember the command to check the installed flash players | 08:29 |
| Mo0oSaH | theron: mind helping me out? | 08:29 |
| SpiderDan | I'm not sure where to look for a log that explains the problem | 08:29 |
| theron | i don't know the command, honestly, but if you go to system tools and synaptic and search swf it will show them all | 08:30 |
| konner | On my spore CD how can i use the installation for it which is SCCSETUP.exe | 08:30 |
| freshtonic | tenX: I'm confused by your question - what does wireshark have to do with wine? | 08:30 |

| ompaul | BlueLagun2, random crashes are usually caused by hardware have a look at those boot options | 08:31 |
| linoock | I have this weird problem | 08:31 |
| thenightbeckons | ffreshtonic: hmm ok. but this is very weird; my disk drive has an "Advertised capacity" of 80GB (which is more like 76/77 GBs), but af? | 08:31 |
| QAH | Can someone help me out? | 08:31 |
| theron | Mo0oSaH: did you find synaptic and the swf players? | 08:31 |
| linoock | whenever I run SDL applications, after some time my computer restarts (if the application is still running) | 08:31 |
| Mo0oSaH | theron: looking for them now | 08:31 |
| freshtonic | tenX: ah, I see. I didn't know that. But yes, it's an awesome tool. | 08:31 |
| thenightbeckons | whoos, let me retype that | 08:31 |
| linoock | but it wasn't always like that | 08:31 |
| linoock | Anyone can guess what it could be? | 08:32 |
| theron | alright, might take a few minutes Mo0oSaH there's a lot and if you've been trying for a while might have several installed | 08:32 |
| jzitt | Ah! I found the answer to my mounting problem at http://www.eeewiki.org/ubuntu . I had to comment out the line about cdrom0 from /etc/fstab as root. | 08:32 |
| Mo0oSaH | theron: that's the only one I have installed | 08:32 |
| thenightbeckons | (03:31:26 SGT) : ffreshtonic: hmm ok. but this is very weird; my disk drive has an "Advertised capacity" of 80GB (which is more like 76/77 GBs), but after installation, the file system only states that there's 66 gbs of space. Now ubuntu doesn't take up 10 gbs of space to install, so i'm wondering where the rest of the capacity went. Was something not reformatted? | 08:32 |
| theron | Mo0oSaH: are you using 32 or 64 bit? i'm using 64 and haven't used 32 bit ubuntu | 08:33 |
| QAH | Is anyone there that can help me out with my live cd??? | 08:33 |
| tenX | freshtonic: my point was how putting up stable versioning numbers can be justified | 08:33 |
| wols_ | theron: 5-10% of a ext2 filesystem are reserved for root | 08:33 |
| linoock | thenightbeckons: well if the vendor advertises KBs and MBs as multiples of 1000... | 08:33 |
| orfeo | you maybe have alocated that space in a transfer partition | 08:33 |
| jzitt | SpiderDan: Check out the page that I just tried, http://www.eeewiki.org/ubuntu . You may e hitting the sae problem that I just found the fix for. | 08:33 |
| wols_ | then there is meta information like direcotirs, inode tables etc which also take room | 08:33 |
| SpiderDan | jzitt: thanks, I will. | 08:34 |
| tenX | freshtonic: thought it had to go together with major improvements | 08:34 |
| QAH | I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 08:34 |
| freshtonic | thenightbeckons: I'm not sure what happened there. fire up the gnome partition editor and have a look around (don't change anything though!) and see if it shows any extra space on the physical device. you may have created a partition that didn't use all available disk space | 08:34 |

| ThreeFingerPete_ | thenightbeckons, you need to install it | 08:35 |
| theron | thenightbeckons: it's gparted, you can use sudo gparted from a terminal to open it | 08:35 |
| freshtonic | thenightbeckons: System/Administration/Partition Editor | 08:35 |

| starz | but | 09:05 |
| starz | i would recommend dsl | 09:05 |
| starz | or puppylinux | 09:05 |
| tenX | amishrobots: you'll probably have to edit that file and add the new version | 09:05 |
| starz | but | 09:05 |
| linoock | no ubuntu runs fine | 09:05 |
| FloodBot1 | starz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:05 |
| linoock | freebsd can run too | 09:05 |
| SCBobbear | thanks guys. just listening to the channel I have learned a lot. Thanks again. | 09:05 |
| starz | shush FloodBot1 | 09:05 |
| linoock | it's all about the window manager you are going to use | 09:05 |
| amishrobots | how? | 09:05 |
| starz | but | 09:05 |
| starz | i would personally do a server install | 09:05 |
| starz | install the -generic kernel [linux-image-generic i think it is] | 09:06 |
| tenX | amishrobots: simply google for 8.04 sources.list | 09:06 |
| starz | then install the wm, and any basic packages i need, like xterm, etc | 09:06 |
| starz | amishrobots, one sec | 09:06 |
| starz | !paste | 09:06 |
| 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) | 09:06 |
| muzy | okay thanks i will test it .. i want ubuntu to run on my old notebook | 09:06 |
| starz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/21778/ | 09:06 |
| starz | muzy, make sure to keep stuff like trackerd out of there. | 09:07 |
| starz | thus the server install to keep the bloat to a minimum | 09:07 |
| starz | also you should consider fluxbuntu | 09:07 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] What is the reason that today again one could download 100 MB using Update Manager? What error has caused this huge amount? | 09:07 |
| starz | fluxbox is quite light, or perhaps icewm | 09:07 |
| muzy | okay i try it. thanks | 09:07 |
| starz | np | 09:07 |
| starz | bullgard4, | 09:08 |
| starz | how long has it been since you updated ? | 09:08 |
| starz | 1 week or so? | 09:08 |
| starz | there were a lot of updates, like openoffice and kernels and whatnot. | 09:08 |
| bullgard4 | starz: No. Since a day before yesterday. | 09:08 |
| starz | if your really short on space do: sudo apt-get clean | 09:08 |
| starz | it clears the /var/cache/apt/somethingorother | 09:08 |
| CorpseFeeder | Can someone tell me what "Capabilities: <access denied>" means in relation to a built-in SD memory card reader on a laptop? | 09:09 |
| starz | bullgard4, like i said there have been a lot of updates - i would look at the update manager at the packages its going to install before doing so | 09:09 |
| tenX | damn is there any piece of software to prevent dizzyness? | 09:09 |
| bullgard4 | starz: Please read again what I asked. I'd like to know why Ubuntu made so many changes. | 09:09 |
| starz | it also depends on what you have in there. | 09:09 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: Just a sec i have no drivers on this one installed as in no restricted ones. Just default ones. | 09:09 |
| starz | ok for me i have 189.9MB of updates to do | 09:09 |
| jengelh2 | tenX: some sort of drug? | 09:09 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | bullgard4: aren't updates good? | 09:10 |
| tenX | jengelh2: anti-drug | 09:10 |
| enaner_ | you know how theres wine to emulate or run windows programs.. is there anything like that but to use Mac programs? | 09:10 |
| starz | smbm openssl-blacklist, samba, xserver-xorg-core app-install-data evolution stuff firefox stuff, linux headers linux image, restricted modules openoffice stuff | 09:11 |
| starz | etc | 09:11 |
| legend2440 | Bob24: what video card? | 09:11 |
| starz | these things add up bullgard4 | 09:11 |
| bullgard4 | starz: I did not ask how many you have. Please read again the question which I have put here. | 09:11 |
| sonetre | when I try to connect a sata hd, ubuntu loading stops at "Loading hardware drivers"...any clues? (fstab is already using uuids) | 09:11 |
| starz | bullgard4, ive answered your question twice | 09:11 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: Is it normal to have 36 xorg.conf files? (i wouldnt think so) | 09:11 |
| starz | <starz> there were a lot of updates, like openoffice and kernels and whatnot. | 09:11 |
| bullgard4 | MrWizeGuy1983: Do you know the answer to the question which I have put here? | 09:11 |
| starz | Bob24, depends on how many times youve changed the config lol | 09:11 |
| starz | bullgard4, lets do it a different way ok? | 09:11 |
| DistroJockey | CorpseFeeder: you need to run that command with sudo | 09:11 |
| starz | maybe this will make more sense to you | 09:12 |
| bullgard4 | starz: Thank you very much. | 09:12 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i saw and did the updates, and looked on it as a good thing bullgard4 but don't know why so many came out at once | 09:12 |
| starz | did you already do the update yet or no? | 09:12 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: Its a Leadtek My vivo Geforce 5700 256mb | 09:12 |
| CorpseFeeder | DistroJockey: yes. I worked that out. Thanks. | 09:12 |
| bullgard4 | starz: Yes, I did. | 09:12 |
| starz | ah | 09:12 |
| DistroJockey | CorpseFeeder: ahh, k. np | 09:12 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: thing is its always been working with it | 09:12 |
| starz | i'm not sure i can figure out which things were upgraded for sure then | 09:12 |
| starz | but almost certainly openoffice and all the linux image and kernels and modules | 09:12 |
| starz | basically - when hardy came out it wasnt really ready | 09:13 |
| starz | so they are doing LOTS of fixes, and backports, and updates to make it stable. | 09:13 |
| IfZen | !list | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 09:13 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: i just used the restrcted drivers first time and it worked, now every time its not working when i reboot. Sometimes it may work | 09:13 |
| starz | this release of ubuntu will be supported on the desktop for 3 years, so they want to get the more finalized packages really really solid before they stop updating them, ok? | 09:13 |
| IndoRama | I am not able to play MP3s in Amarok | 09:14 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | IndoRama: have you installed the ubuntu restricted areas? | 09:14 |
| starz | bullgard4, o good your still here too | 09:14 |
| legend2440 | Bob24: sorry i'm not familiar with drivers for that card. i have ati | 09:14 |
| starz | ok bullgard4 open up a terminal: applications > accessories > terminal | 09:15 |
| starz | type this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:15 |
| starz | Bob24, what card? | 09:15 |
| gnarf | I have been following the excellent instructions on setting up a windows vpn connection on http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-ubuntu.phtml. But although ppp1 shows an ip address of the network I am vpn to, i can't ping any other computer on that network. I think it is an iptables problem? Any suggestions? Running ubuntu 7.04 | 09:15 |
| IndoRama | MrWizeGuy1983: what is restircted aeas ? I installed MP3 it prompted me to install | 09:15 |
| CorpseFeeder | My SD card reader is not currently working. It is detected and shows up in lspci. Is there any chance it could be made to work? | 09:16 |
| starz | !medibuntu | 09:16 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:16 |
| starz | !medibuntu | 09:16 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | IndoRama: open the package manager (add/remove) and search mp3 and it should show ubuntu restricted areas, which worked well for me | 09:16 |
| starz | get that. ubuntu restricted extras does not include w32codecs | 09:16 |
| starz | CorpseFeeder, quite possibly lol ;) | 09:16 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | w32codecs and w64codecs are great, but my mp3 worked before installing those | 09:17 |
| WalloO | MrWizeGuy1983, for sure, W32codecs is nearly useless | 09:18 |
| bullgard4 | starz: Why do you ask me to do that? I usually do operations in that area using Synaptic. | 09:18 |
| Guest145725 | http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=952e020ecd02de0ca441e5d9eda68616 | 09:18 |
| Guest145725 | http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=952e020ecd02de0ca441e5d9eda68616 | 09:18 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | didn't know, just knew after installing restricted areas almost everything worked WalloO | 09:18 |
| starz | bullgard4, i want it to make sense to you | 09:18 |
| afallenhope | I'm using XChat I was wondering if I recompiled it myself... will the ADD/REMOVE remove it / | 09:18 |
| starz | do the first one, but if it shows packages dont push y to the second one | 09:18 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | though i do have w64codecs installed now | 09:18 |
| starz | it will show each package, and a total downloaded and total space used | 09:18 |
| WalloO | afallenhope, no. only if you recompile and generate a package for install. | 09:19 |
| starz | afallenhope, what? | 09:19 |
| CorpseFeeder | lspci says this about my SD card reader http://paste.ubuntu.com/21779/ - what is the probability that someone will be able to help me make this thing work? | 09:19 |
| starz | sudo apt-get remove xchat | 09:19 |
| Starnestommy | afallenhope: why would you need to recompile it? | 09:19 |
| IndoRama | MrWizeGuy1983: Thanks, I m installing it now | 09:19 |
| bullgard4 | starz: I have done the operation which you are asking me for, just yesterday. I will not repeat it today. | 09:19 |
| WalloO | afallenhope, if you install without doing a package, it will not be in your installed list | 09:19 |
| afallenhope | Starnestommy: there's a new version out. | 09:19 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: u there? | 09:19 |
| starz | bullgard4, see this is the problem | 09:19 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | good luck IndoRama i'm not a pro but i've set up a few linux systems, can try to help if that doesn't do it | 09:19 |
| starz | your not listening | 09:20 |
| starz | !troll | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Factoid troll not found | 09:20 |
| starz | jeez | 09:20 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: heres my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/21780/ | 09:20 |
| bullgard4 | starz: Yes. | 09:20 |
| starz | Bob24, what are you trying to get to work? | 09:20 |
| legend2440 | Bob24: ok | 09:20 |
| starz | nv is jsut basics | 09:20 |
| starz | :> | 09:20 |
| starz | decent opensauce driver though if your not doing compiz or dual monitors | 09:21 |
| afallenhope | Then how would I update to the newest XChat? | 09:21 |
| starz | afallenhope, you can compile it if you like | 09:21 |
| starz | sudo apt-get build-dep xchat | 09:21 |
| Bob24 | starz: yeh but wen it doesnt work. Its a problem | 09:21 |
| starz | then go get the source from the site... #xchat is where they hang out | 09:21 |
| starz | Bob24, i gotta go reboot a server real fast | 09:21 |
| starz | if your still having trouble in a few i'll help you get up and running ok? | 09:21 |
| Starnestommy | afallenhope: compile it yourself. The old version will stay installed, but tne new version will take precedence over it | 09:21 |
| Bob24 | starz: thanks | 09:22 |
| starz | Bob24, do you want to use the nv btw? | 09:22 |
| starz | if you want to use the nvidia drivers i need to know which card it is | 09:22 |
| onats | how do i permanently add environment variables? | 09:22 |
| WalloO | afallenhope, you can remove your current xchat with synaptic then compile and insall the new one in /usr/local | 09:22 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | do you guys like irssi for irc? | 09:23 |
| Bob24 | starz: well the restricted drivers worked fine though now their not. | 09:23 |
| onats | mrwizeguy1983, only when running it from terminal | 09:23 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | what other way is there? lol | 09:23 |
| WalloO | Anybody knows a good VGA stress test, like cpuburn does for cpu? | 09:23 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | that's what i'm using right now, is anything better onats ? | 09:23 |
| Bob24 | starz: its a Leadtek my vivo Geforce FX 5700 256mb | 09:23 |
| afallenhope | starz: what does: sudo apt-get build-dep xchat do? | 09:24 |
| easyreply | Hi quick question is it possible to safely transfer files from a linux formatted drive to an ntfs formatted drive? | 09:24 |
| sanity | I am wondering, how to get "Desktop Cube" (I have CompizConfig intalled) to behave properly with a touchscreen? Anyone have a touchscreen and played around with it? | 09:25 |
| WalloO | afallenhope, it download and install all libraries and software needed to compile and install xchat | 09:25 |
| Starnestommy | easyreply: it depends on what you mean by 'safely' | 09:25 |
| Bob24 | legend2440: What do you think of the config file? | 09:25 |
| amishrobots | tenx i got cutoff | 09:25 |
| WalloO | sanity, difficult since it uses 3rd button or key control. | 09:26 |
| starz | 5700? | 09:26 |
| MrWizeGuy1983_ | trying to decide if i like irssi or xchat better | 09:26 |
| MrWizeGuy1983_ | hard to say really | 09:26 |
| MrWizeGuy1983_ | any ideas? | 09:26 |
| starz | afallenhope, that gets all the pcakges you need to build it | 09:26 |
| WalloO | easyreply, just copy them. However, access rights will be lost | 09:26 |
| easyreply | starnestommy: lol aye a good question. Firstly, while holding the integrity of the data - flac files. I am assuming it cannot "harm" the ntfs drive? | 09:26 |
| tomasko | does firefox 3 crash a _lot_ more than firefox 2 for anyone else? | 09:27 |
| legend2440 | Bob24: you say you have other xorg.conf files. can you check a few to see if older ones used vesa driver also? | 09:27 |
| starz | bob do you have nvidia-glx-legacy in ? | 09:27 |

| ricky111 | what's the IRC client that runs under terminal, and you have to tab between servers/channels etc | 09:27 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | tomasko: it did in windows but seems great on ubuntu, the 64 bit version that is | 09:27 |
| Starnestommy | easyreply: ntfs-3g usually works fine for reading and writing to ntfs | 09:27 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | ty WalloO i'll try it a bit | 09:27 |
| sanity | WalloO: Right, is there a work around for the problem where the cube spins like crazy, does something like 200 revs a second.. I assume it is because the mouse position is always read as relative during a manual turn, the touch is always absolute. | 09:28 |
| afallenhope | after I compile/install it goes to /usr/bin right? or /usr/local/bin? | 09:28 |

| MrWizeGuy | np tomasko i just haven't used 32 bit ubuntu so i'm useless on that one | 09:29 |
| Starnestommy | afallenhope: /usr/local/bin | 09:29 |

| esac | MrWizeGuy, shockwave flash .. is that the same ? | 09:38 |
| sanity | WalloO: Not sure, it looks useful regardless, will probably be easier for the touch screen. | 09:38 |
| starz | srizz, beryl is depreciated - get fusion-icon compizconfig-settings-manager and emerald | 09:38 |
| MrWizeGuy | it's similar, macromedia was the only one that worked for me esac | 09:39 |
| starz | Bob24, it did do updates? | 09:39 |

| starz | there was xgl | 09:39 |
| starz | then there was beryl | 09:39 |
| WalloO | !walloo | espagnol | 09:39 |
| FloodBot2 | starz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:39 |
| starz | and compiz and beryl split | 09:39 |
| Bob24 | starz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:39 |
| starz | then beryl died and deprecieated and they joined again and 'fused' | 09:40 |
| starz | thus compiz-fusion | 09:40 |
| MrWizeGuy | starz i thought they got back together in beryl fusion | 09:40 |
| MrWizeGuy | compiz-fusion | 09:40 |
| srizz | where do i get it | 09:40 |
| MrWizeGuy | oops lol | 09:40 |
| afallenhope | starz: should I remove the previous version of xchat? | 09:40 |
| srizz | synaptic | 09:40 |
| starz | Bob24, did that prompt it to install anything? | 09:40 |
| starz | afallenhope, yeah | 09:40 |
| WalloO | MrWizeGuy, they did | 09:40 |
| starz | you can keep xchat open while you do | 09:40 |
| starz | but you might want to install irssi just in case | 09:40 |
| Bob24 | starz: thats the command that updated stuff. the nvidia-legacy also install someting | 09:40 |
| afallenhope | okay | 09:40 |
| afallenhope | BRB | 09:40 |
| srizz | ?? | 09:40 |
| starz | see | 09:40 |
| onats | how do i permanently add environment variables? | 09:41 |
| starz | my guess is that you need to restart, but first do this Bob24 : | 09:41 |
| Bob24 | starz: it prompted me for the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade command | 09:41 |
| starz | sudo nvidia-xconfig | 09:41 |
| WalloO | onats, add export in your .bashrc | 09:41 |
| starz | after all the upgrades are done do that | 09:41 |
| starz | then restart computer | 09:41 |
| t_ | I installed Ubuntu (Hardy Heron 8.04) yesterday, and I've had some problems with it since then. Whenever I boot Ubuntu, the systems freezes after about 5 min. The icons start to disappear, I can't open files and longer (Unable to start child process (input/output error). And I can't do much else either. This is probably a hard drive defect. But do anybody know something I can do? | 09:41 |
| WalloO | onats, then logout and login | 09:41 |
| Bob24 | starz: ok | 09:41 |
| onats | Wallo0, that env variable should also be visible in gdm right? | 09:41 |
| srizz | sudo nvidia-xconfig....was that to me | 09:42 |
| CorpseFeeder | Is there any such thing as a PCMCIA Firewire card that is supported under Ubuntu? | 09:42 |
| starz | t_ get the live cd and apt-get install badblocks while in it, and do like so: badblocks /dev/sda | 09:42 |
| esac | MrWizeGuy, says Your architecture xo86_64 is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer | 09:42 |
| WalloO | t_: sudo fsck /dev/sda | 09:42 |
| WalloO | t_, it will check your hard drive for errors | 09:42 |

| starz | WalloO, fsck on a live filesystem? | 09:42 |
| starz | lol | 09:42 |
| WalloO | t_, maybe run man fsck for more parameters | 09:42 |
| starz | you might want to tell him how to get to a readonly single user mode first: | 09:43 |
| t_ | Can't I run the chack just now? | 09:43 |
| starz | man fsck | 09:43 |
| starz | do that in a terminal t_ | 09:43 |
| WalloO | Starz | 09:43 |
| Bob24 | starz: sudo nvidia-xconfig says bad command | 09:44 |

| Bob24 | starz: should i reboot first? | 09:44 |
| MrWizeGuy | it's been too long since i practiced spanish, i'm a bit slow | 09:44 |
| WalloO | t_: it's necessary to run it at start, or run it from your ubuntu live CD | 09:44 |

| WalloO | MrWizeGuy, I 've never been good... Anyway, I'm worst now... | 09:46 |
| prodigel | hi all. anyone experienced in configuring mythtv? it's moving kinda slow ... | 09:47 |
| srizz | where can i find and install for beryl | 09:47 |
| WalloO | prodigel, I may be? you want to do what? | 09:47 |
| Amaranth | srizz: You don't want beryl, it is dead | 09:47 |
| MrWizeGuy | srizz, it's compiz-fusion now | 09:47 |
| s_spiff | srizz: beryl? its dead dude. | 09:47 |
| WalloO | srizz, beryl = compiz-fusion install compiz fusion. however it'S installed by default in ubuntu | 09:47 |
| Amaranth | srizz: if you have ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 you have compiz with the compiz-fusion addons though | 09:48 |
| srizz | i had it before i don't want an upgrade | 09:48 |
| starz | Bob24, sorry | 09:48 |
| starz | had to reboot another server | 09:48 |
| Bob24 | starz: thats fine | 09:48 |
| starz | sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 09:48 |
| starz | what happens when you do that? | 09:48 |
| srizz | eh well how do i get compiz | 09:48 |
| WalloO | srizz, beryl is dead. beryl is now compiz-fusion... | 09:48 |
| Amaranth | srizz: What version of ubuntu are you using? | 09:48 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I've installed it last night, firstly both backend and frontend on the same pc. Made it work but I don't have control(like switching channels) and it moves slow, even get buffer underun sound errors. Later I've installed frontend an another pc and there I had control but no sound | 09:48 |
| srizz | 8.04 | 09:48 |
| Bob24 | starz: it says it already has it, no update. | 09:49 |
| starz | bob when you type: nvidia and push tab button twice what do you see? | 09:49 |
| starz | nvidia-bug-report.sh nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig <<== thats what i get | 09:49 |
| WalloO | prodigel, what is the hardware of your backend+frontend? | 09:49 |
| srizz | amaranth: will it be in synaptic | 09:49 |
| WalloO | prodigel, it looks like your CPU is too slow | 09:50 |

| connor | im helping out someone | 09:51 |
| connor | Where can i find a list of grub errors? | 09:51 |
| Amaranth | srizz: That depends on what version you are using | 09:51 |
| WalloO | prodigel, is your tv card working correctly with tvtime? | 09:51 |
| srizz | amaranth: 8.04 | 09:51 |
| Amaranth | srizz: If you are not using Ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 I cannot recommend using compiz | 09:51 |
| Amaranth | srizz: Oh, then it is installed and enabled by default | 09:51 |
| Amaranth | srizz: You should already be using it | 09:51 |
| prodigel | WalloO: donno what tvtime is but xawtv knows to use it | 09:51 |
| srizz | amaranth: how do i make it do that cool ass 3D cube thing | 09:52 |
| afallenhope | lol.. I just made my own IRC client | 09:52 |
| afallenhope | it's basic that's all that matters | 09:52 |
| afallenhope | lol | 09:52 |
| WalloO | prodigel, tvtime is the best software to watch TV. you may give it a try. However, your problem seems strange | 09:52 |

| CorpseFeeder | how compatible exactly is the hardware in the laptops on this apge http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=8.04%20LTS&category=Laptop ? I am thinking about getting a new laptop. If I were to get one of these "certified" models, would I still be facing the same problems of unsupported built-in devices? | 09:53 |
| CorpseFeeder | *page | 09:53 |
| WalloO | prodigel, is your card a mpeg2 one or a bt878 or something like that (your tv card) | 09:53 |
| Amaranth | srizz: Install compizconfig-settings-manager from synaptic then go to System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects | 09:53 |
| Amaranth | srizz: You can enable the cube from in there. Also, check out the #compiz-fusion channel for more help with customizing your compiz settings | 09:53 |
| afallenhope | If I typed sudo apt-get build-dep xchat how would I remove the things that were installed? | 09:53 |
| Bob24 | starz: i dont get nvidia-config, u ther? | 09:53 |
| prodigel | WalloO: i think bt878, it's a leadtek 2000 xp deluxe something | 09:53 |
| prodigel | WalloO: pretty old :D | 09:54 |
| connor | afallenhope: you can go to synaptic to remove programs completely | 09:54 |
| prodigel | WalloO: got it for euro 2008 from a friend :D | 09:54 |

| voyagi | I have some problems with my 3G-broadband, a Huawei E220. I try to use vodafone mobile connect driver for linux, but the problem is that the program does not find the USB modem, and I can't mount it like an USB-stick, but I can see it on lsusb | 09:54 |
| WalloO | prodigel, your system may be slow if you try to record at the same time. Was it the case? Was your video posed before beeing slow? | 09:55 |
| connor | afallenhope: what program are you talking about? | 09:55 |
| starz | Bob24, you dont get nvidia-xconfig? | 09:55 |
| srizz | amaranth: word | 09:55 |
| starz | well then run sudo nvidia-settings | 09:55 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I don't want to make it a super mythtv server, just to be able to watch tv from my lan, be it laptop, desk computer etc. | 09:55 |
| Bob24 | starz: thats right i dont | 09:55 |
| BlueLagun2 | For some reason my nvidia drivers are causing my computer to randomly reboot. It took my a while to figure out what was causing the problem, but it stopped rebooting randomly when I downgraded to nvidia-glx (as opposed to nvidia-glx-new). However, now desktop effects don't work and starting glx gears will reboot the computer | 09:56 |
| prodigel | WalloO: If I can configure it to do the least cpu/memory usage I'm willing to | 09:56 |
| BlueLagun2 | Any ideas on how to fix this? | 09:56 |
| bluebug_ | starz: I can't make the development version of alsa driver. it says "Please, run the configure script as first...", but i did it. curious to say, my sound card works when I login Ubuntu with the avobe solution posted on Ubuntu Forum. | 09:56 |
| WalloO | prodigel, I just try to understand. | 09:56 |
| afallenhope | connor: I'm not talking about any program. I'm talking about a command that was typed into the terminal. Please read before you assume. I was told to type: sudo apt-get build-dep xchat so that I could compile something. I was just imformed that there was a huge security vulnerability ... so I want to rever to the "stable" version | 09:56 |
| WalloO | prodigel, the problem with sound with remote backend probably come from a misconfiguration. | 09:57 |
| adante | hi, how can i find out what files a package would install? | 09:57 |
| connor | afallenhope: sudo apt-get install xchat | 09:57 |
| connor | or you could go to add/remove programs and install xchat from tehre | 09:57 |
| connor | there* | 09:57 |
| prodigel | WalloO: probably, can you help me with that | 09:57 |
| CorpseFeeder | how compatible exactly is the hardware in the laptops on this page http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=8.04%20LTS&category=Laptop ?

This one I am using has non-working bluetooth, SD card reader, TV out and IR port. | 09:57 |
| prodigel | WalloO: ? | 09:58 |
| WalloO | prodigel, the sound come from line in. And you have to configure mttv to record on line in (I think) | 09:58 |
| afallenhope | Can I have someone that will actually READ what I type. | 09:58 |
| Bob24 | starz: ok i got a popup message saying. You do not appear to be using the nvidia X driver. please edit your X configuration file. And restart the x server. | 09:58 |
| connor | afallenhope: i just helped you out | 09:58 |
| afallenhope | connor: I'm asking HOW DO I REMOVE.... the build-dep | 09:58 |
| afallenhope | not INSTALL | 09:58 |
| connor | I don't know | 09:58 |
| prodigel | WalloO: it is on line in | 09:58 |
| afallenhope | ugh. | 09:58 |
| starz | perfect | 09:58 |
| bluebug_ | startz: after login, I have no sounds on my desktop. | 09:58 |
| WalloO | prodigel, when you watch tv from a remote backend, does the sound go out from your backend computer? | 09:58 |
| connor | What? | 09:58 |
| starz | Bob24, in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf just replace nv with nvidia, save and reboot | 09:58 |
| esperegu | anyone knows how to print an A3 on 2 A4's? | 09:58 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I have a jack stereo cable coming from the tuner, and going in my backend computer line in | 09:58 |
| WalloO | prodigel, when you watch tv from a remote fronckend, does the sound go out from your backend computer? | 09:58 |
| afallenhope | starz: you think you can help? You wee the one that told me to type the command in the first place lol. | 09:59 |
| WalloO | prodigel, when you watch tv from a remote frontend, does the sound go out from your backend computer? | 09:59 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I'll test it in a few seconds ... | 09:59 |
| Bob24 | starz: ok 1 sec | 09:59 |
| prodigel | WalloO: brb(have to switch it on) | 09:59 |
| CorpseFeeder | sounds comes out from my backend sometimes. | 09:59 |
| WalloO | prodigel, I know for the jack, and it'S probably because mythtv don't know where to record the sound from which explain why you don 't have sound | 09:59 |
| Flynsarmy | I'm getting no sound in games. any ideas? | 10:00 |
| viperserv2 | anyone know how to convert hard raid here? | 10:00 |
| starz | afallenhope, whats the problem | 10:00 |
| adante | mok | 10:00 |
| starz | afallenhope, tell you waht | 10:01 |
| WalloO | My cpu is a 66°C is it normal? | 10:01 |
| Bob24 | starz: it has vesa in the boardname is this still ok | 10:01 |
| starz | i'm bored, and i'll compile it with you i suppose. | 10:01 |
| CorpseFeeder | is there a page anywhere which actually tells you what hardware does and does not work in these http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?release=8.04%20LTS&category=Laptop ? | 10:01 |
| starz | Bob24, you could call it "bob's bad boi" and that would be fine :) | 10:01 |
| afallenhope | Okay you had me type the sudo apt-get build-dep xchat so I did... I compiled Xchat. I was just informed the version is unstable. how do I remove the build-dep? | 10:01 |

| yesudeep2 | This is happening on all my machines. | 10:01 |

| afallenhope | starz: Okay you had me type the sudo apt-get build-dep xchat so I did... I compiled Xchat. I was just informed the version is unstable. how do I remove the build-dep? | 10:02 |
| yesudeep2 | GIMP fires up pretty quickly. | 10:02 |
| starz | lol | 10:02 |
| afallenhope | sorry for typing it twice.. didn't put your name there | 10:02 |
| starz | afallenhope, you need to make a list of what it installed to do so, and then uninstall each in one long line or so | 10:02 |
| starz | sudo apt-get remove pkg pkg2 pkg4 etc | 10:02 |
| starz | one sec | 10:02 |
| CorpseFeeder | starz: I am just interested to know how compatible the listed laptops are.... | 10:02 |
| starz | afallenhope, join #flood | 10:03 |
| afallenhope | starz but I closed the temrinal | 10:03 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, if they are listed, it means everything works smoothly | 10:03 |
| microwaver | Ok, this is the most general of questions, but does anyone felt that upgrading to Hardy slowed down your whole system? | 10:03 |
| lordlimecat | anyone have any experience getting ventrilo 3.0 to work under ubuntu? | 10:03 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, and if you want to be sure, take a centrino. | 10:04 |
| legend2440 | afallenhope: build-dep installed the packages need to compile xchat. to uninstall open synaptic >file>history then click on latest date and you have to uninstall each one | 10:04 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: ok, thanks. Why a centrino? | 10:04 |
| prodigel | WalloO: It's on my remote computer | 10:04 |
| srizz | amaranth: no response from that channel, you know how to find the controls for compiz | 10:05 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, because it's well known and well supported. in my opinion. I installed ubuntu on a LG centrino, and everything worked (worked better than with XP) | 10:05 |
| lilywap | Hi, I've inherited a PC with Ubuntu 6.04 on and I want to upgrade to 8.04 but the update-manager isn't saying there's a new version available. I'm following the instructions on the site. | 10:06 |
| WalloO | prodigel, your problem is that mythtv don't know where to record sound from. Maybe you should take a look at your tuner card configuration in the backend | 10:06 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: My current laptop uses Centrino, but it has lots of hardware which does not work in Ubuntu. | 10:06 |
| bazhang | lilywap, install update-manager-core from dapper-updates | 10:06 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I've just noticed that sound gets out on my server computer while runing frontend on my remote computer | 10:06 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, with XP, it was impossible to have the 2200 intel wireless card to support wpa2. With ubuntu it worked out of the box (out of the install) | 10:07 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: ...which is why I am thinking about getting a different laptop form that list | 10:07 |
| prodigel | WalloO: but still there is delay/slow motion | 10:07 |
| MrWizeGuy | i guess i'm the lucky one then, it all works, except the headphones and java (64 bit) | 10:07 |
| bazhang | lilywap, assuming you mean 6.06 :) | 10:07 |
| prodigel | WalloO: slow motion for sure. btw I'm using wlan if that matters | 10:07 |
| lilywap | bazhang: Thanks, I'll have a look for that | 10:07 |
| WalloO | prodigel, wireless lan is not good. Maybe wiuth good compression, wireless G may work, but usualy, it's not enough | 10:08 |
| Bob24 | starz: k done, sry bout the wait its just painfully slow with default drivers with VNC | 10:08 |
| Bob24 | starz: its just rebooting now | 10:08 |
| prodigel | WalloO: divx movies work with wlan. If I manage to encode enough the movie will I get better results? | 10:09 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I don't want to use it by wire. My entire home lan concept is based on wireless | 10:09 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, I think now, the only problem you may have with a laptop, id with wireless lan or bluetooth. Just check the chip used for that and look if it's supported by linux | 10:09 |
| Ad84 | hi all, how do i install a theme? | 10:09 |
| bazhang | !themes | Ad84 | 10:10 |

| starz | Bob24, wb | 10:10 |
| starz | ah | 10:10 |
| Bob24 | starz: just a sec | 10:10 |
| WalloO | prodigel, divx yes, but your computer live-stream with less powerfull codec... So constraints are different. It has to compress a lot in real time. How many time does it takes to make a dual pass divx on your 2Ghz computer? | 10:11 |
| prodigel | WalloO: never done such a thing(doesn't sound familiar at least) | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | prodigel: encoding video is much much more difficult than playback | 10:12 |
| MrWizeGuy | Q: why don't girls use linux................ A: it's as stubborn as they are | 10:12 |
| pukeko | whats the path for audio cds that appear on desktop -- GRIP can't find it ? | 10:12 |
| WalloO | prodigel, check your compression configuration on your backend, and lower the bitrate. Is your wlan a G one? | 10:12 |
| prodigel | WalloO: usually works around 2MB/s | 10:13 |
| hazysoni1 | hi, trying to figure out how to enable 1024x768 res on a toshiba laptop... Anyone here who might know about it? | 10:13 |
| MrWizeGuy | hazysoni1, have you installed your graphics drivers? | 10:13 |
| WalloO | prodigel, change your compression and make your test | 10:14 |
| hazysoni1 | Yes, it's a trident driver, which says is installed from the package manager | 10:14 |
| prodigel | WalloO: where do I change compression method? | 10:14 |
| hazysoni1 | but one or two web pages said something about using versa instead, which i don't know how to do | 10:14 |
| lilywap | bazhang: yes sorry, 6.04 LTS | 10:15 |
| starz | 6.06** | 10:15 |
| lilywap | erm 6.06 | 10:15 |
| starz | ;) | 10:15 |
| starz | i install a few of those each day lol | 10:15 |
| Bob25 | starz: ok do i still have to activate restricted drivers now? | 10:15 |
| WalloO | Im please to announce you my computer didn't crash for one hour.... | 10:15 |
| starz | bob, you already installed the packages you can ignore all that | 10:15 |
| starz | if you like you can peek and see if it shows you them | 10:16 |
| WalloO | prodigel, mythtv-setup | 10:16 |
| starz | system > administration > hardware drivers | 10:16 |
| lilywap | anyhow - I just installed update-manager-core and ran update-manger again. the same thing happened (or didn't happen :) ) | 10:16 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: This one I got now, the bluetooth, TV-out port, IR port, and SD card reader doesn't work. I get the feeling that no one is ever going to bother to add support for these in linux. There just doesn't seem to be any demand for these things to get supported in earlier laptop models. | 10:16 |
| lilywap | The https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades page says it should ask if I want to upgrade but it isn't | 10:17 |
| pukeko | when gutsy "mounts" an audio Cd on the desktop .. where is it actually mounted i cant see in under media or mnt -- i need the path | 10:17 |
| Bob25 | starz: ok cos when i try to enter the nvidia settings it gives me that same error box. You do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. Or should i just use the xorg config for all the reso setup? | 10:17 |
| lilywap | Should I force it with apt-get dist-upgrade or whatever? | 10:18 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, Hmmm... your unlucky man... What is this laptop? | 10:18 |
| threexk | is the DVD decoder in ubuntu restricted extra legal? | 10:18 |
| starz | Bob25, | 10:18 |
| starz | cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep nvidia | 10:18 |
| Ad84 | it says to drag and drop file in gdm setup folder where is that? | 10:18 |
| threexk | I didn't think you could have a DVD decoder legally without paying a licensing fee | 10:18 |
| gordonjcp | threexk: yes, in most of the world | 10:18 |
| Ad84 | sorry setup tool | 10:19 |
| gordonjcp | threexk: perhaps not in the US, but they don't matter ;-) | 10:19 |
| MrWizeGuy | legal is....relative | 10:19 |
| WalloO | threexk, you can, but in US you will go in jail. | 10:19 |
| MrWizeGuy | is anything legal? i think they might pass a law against breathing soon | 10:19 |
| prodigel | WalloO: I would like to do another test firstly: I want to see if on my backend server computer frontend can work ok. at least network is out of the context in this case, one less problem to worry | 10:19 |
| WalloO | prodigel, I hope it could | 10:19 |
| Bob25 | starz: k it says nvidia | 10:19 |
| MrWizeGuy | WalloO, that's gotta be a joke, nobody cares about dvd codecs, it's old technology | 10:19 |
| Bob25 | starz: thats when you told me to rename it isnt it? | 10:20 |
| threexk | I'm in the US, so I won't install it | 10:20 |
| WalloO | MrWizeGuy, right now yes, but when DVD jhon what at his trial, it was not the case | 10:20 |
| threexk | thanks gordonjcp, WalloO | 10:20 |
| lilywap | threexk: never mind! DVD playback is overrated! :) | 10:21 |
| DistroJockey | Ad84: Goto System - Preferences - Appearance and drop the theme.tar.gz file on the window that you get | 10:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | threexk, technically i have payed for the license.. several 100 times over. :) | 10:21 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: It is a Toshiba Tecra S1. It has a really nice high-res screen too. :( | 10:21 |
| threexk | is the MP3 decoder also illegal in the US? | 10:21 |
| starz | bob yeah | 10:21 |
| starz | hm | 10:21 |
| starz | let me think for a bit | 10:21 |
| cgentry72 | can someone help me... I can get openoffice to load.. it shows the splash screen but thats it | 10:21 |
| gordonjcp | threexk: no idea, I don't live in the US and could not be persuaded to even visit the place | 10:22 |
| cgentry72 | i've tried to uninstall and reinstall it but nothing | 10:22 |
| lilywap | threexk: probably - but you get to play with guns so it's kinda fair :) | 10:22 |
| cgentry72 | threexk, I don't blame you there | 10:22 |
| threexk | gordonjcp: same to your country, whichever European one it is | 10:22 |
| Jowi | threexk, fluendo.com is the place if you're unsure. | 10:22 |
| WalloO | I hate DVD companies... I've a lot of DVD from FRnace, with area2. Now I live in Canada. Officialy, I can't bring my DVD in Canada with me.. That's really stupid | 10:22 |
| gordonjcp | threexk: ;-) | 10:22 |
| Bob26 | starz: sry i was disconnected | 10:23 |
| hyphenated | WalloO: um.. every dvd player I've ever owned has had an "unlock" built into it | 10:23 |
| Bob26 | starz: thats when you told me to rename it isnt it? it shows Display: Nvidia | 10:23 |
| hazysoni1 | looking for advice to get my screen res fixed so that I'm not looking at a small box inside a larger lcd.... Editing xorg.conf seems to have no effect and "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" just sets everything back to defaults (same prob) | 10:23 |
| Bob26 | starz: thats when you told me to rename it isnt it? it shows Driver: Nvidia | 10:23 |
| threexk | Jowi: thanks | 10:23 |
| Ad84 | that does not work | 10:23 |
| starz | bob yeah | 10:23 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, I'm really sorry for you. Does this computer use ati or nvidia card? | 10:24 |
| pukeko | when gusty "mounts" an audio cd on the desktop where is it actually mounted - i need the path | 10:24 |
| Jowi | threexk, https://shop.fluendo.com has got both mp3 and other decoders. | 10:24 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: it uses an ATI card | 10:24 |
| WalloO | hyphenated, I'm talking about the right and the law. Not about DVD lock. I use mythtv + projector for my dvd, so it's not a problem | 10:25 |
| tv7497 | bazhang: how do i know my system is 32 bit or 64 | 10:25 |
| starz | bob do you have anything nvidia in the system > administration area? | 10:25 |
| Bob26 | starz: im unable to use the nvidia settings i donno why | 10:25 |
| threexk | Jowi: this site doesn't look legit | 10:25 |
| ForsakenSoul | hey does someone know how can I set up a second clock to show a different timezona | 10:25 |

| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, do you want a xorg.conf example to enable TV output? | 10:25 |
| starz | threexk, what site | 10:25 |
| Jowi | threedee, fluendo is well known | 10:25 |
| MrWizeGuy | tv7497, did you install your ubuntu yourself? | 10:25 |
| Jowi | threexk, , fluendo is well known | 10:25 |
| tv7497 | MrWizeGuy: yes sir long ago .... | 10:25 |
| starz | ForsakenSoul, add a location in preferences on the clock.. | 10:26 |
| lilywap | OK, so update-manager doesn't work for upgrades - is there a log I can check? | 10:26 |
| threexk | starz: shop.fluendo.com | 10:26 |
| babo | what does this mail message mean ? is my server acting as a relay or not ? | 10:26 |
| MrWizeGuy | oh ok, try installing a 64 bit app | 10:26 |

| hyphenated | WalloO: well corporations obviously love the idea of regional pricing and artificially influence markets.. that's not news. the fact that they made it "legal" to operate that way also bothers me | 10:26 |
| MrWizeGuy | if it works, you got 64 | 10:26 |
| ForsakenSoul | startz did that ... and it didn't chage | 10:26 |

| starz | !ask | hazysoni1 | 10:27 |

| lore17 | Hi, im trying to get wireless running on my macbook pro. I've installed the madwifi drivers but need help on how to bring my wireless interface up please | 10:27 |
| anoliss | how do i make a script wait for me to press enter before proceeding? | 10:27 |
| ForsakenSoul | ahh ... but it changed both of my clocks | 10:27 |
| starz | !wireless | lore17 | 10:28 |
| ubottu | lore17: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:28 |

| tv7497 | MrWizeGuy: sir arent there any command in terminal to check for 64 bit or 32 | 10:28 |
| hyphenated | WalloO: hah. i brought back about 100 dvds from indonesia to new zealand, and at customs, the guy was looking through them, didn't do anything | 10:28 |
| starz | lore they peeps in here need more information - what kinda network, what kinda security, and what kinda hardware, and which distro version | 10:28 |
| Bob26 | starz: i get an error when i open it but can still enter it. it says You do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. | 10:28 |
| hyphenated | (they were looking for "illegal" content ie XXX stuff, not being piracy police) | 10:28 |
| starz | Bob26, good thats a start | 10:28 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: yeah, sure. Why? Do you think you can make mine work? | 10:28 |
| Jowi | anoliss, read -sn 1 (this waits for one keypress) | 10:28 |
| lilywap | ooh - I gotta go - kitchen on fire! | 10:29 |
| hyphenated | the customs guy even teased me about some of the chick flicks that I'd brought back for my friends :-) | 10:29 |
| WalloO | hyphenated, it's not the same area number indonesia and new zealand? | 10:29 |
| starz | Bob26, click on x server display configuration and make the screen size correct to what you want.then save to x configuration file button, and dont merge, just replace | 10:29 |

| Az | anyone else reverted back to Gutsy? ... ive just about given up on trying to fix sound problems in hardy, apart from sound issues my desktop is perfect :( | 10:29 |
| hazysoni1 | k. My screen only allows 800x600 but it's a 1024x768 (laptop) display. It shows up as a smaller box with a black border around it. I can't figure out how to enable the full screen. I've tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.config with no luck. | 10:29 |
| lore17 | im running xubuntu on a macbook pro, just installed yesterday. Im very new to linux in general. as for security i just installed the seurity updates | 10:29 |
| starz | then open a terminal and do: sudo modprobe nvidia and tell me if you get any errors so far | 10:29 |
| Bob26 | starz: i had that error before as well though. Before i installed the nvidia-legacy | 10:29 |
| starz | Bob26, dont worry about it | 10:30 |
| hyphenated | WalloO: nope. NZ is region 4, Indonesia is region 3 | 10:30 |
| Bob26 | starz: ok ill try 1 sec | 10:30 |
| ozkelligirl | hi all | 10:30 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, I had a ati card plugged on a TV. I can provide you my xorg.conf file if it can help you. But you have to enable ati proprietary driver. Did you try ati video configuration software? | 10:30 |
| Jowi | anolis, if you wish to record the keypress you can do something similar to this: read -sn 1 KEYPRESS; echo $KEYPRESS | 10:31 |
| WalloO | hyphenated, I hope i will have no issue | 10:31 |
| ozkelligirl | hello hello hello | 10:31 |

| Jowi | ozkelligirl, use the package manager. there are already a lot of programs available at one place. | 10:34 |
| Az | so thats 1 for hardy, 1 for gutsy... anyone else?? :) | 10:34 |
| Lunar_Lamp | ozkelligirl: you don't usually need to have a "site" for downloading programs for ubuntu, you can just go to applications>add/remove and search there :-) | 10:34 |

| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: no. I was away feeding my cats. | 10:36 |
| starz | ozkelligirl, you mean to update your packages? | 10:36 |
| raboof | heh, the ubuntu wiki as 'Debugging sound problems' and 'Sound troubleshooting' pages which don't link to each other | 10:36 |
| MrWizeGuy | one sec ozkelligirl i have it bookmarked | 10:36 |
| ozkelligirl | yes | 10:36 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, do you see my dcc send? | 10:36 |
| Flannel | ozkelligirl: None. Use the repositories. Browse them with synaptic | 10:36 |
| MrWizeGuy | http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 10:37 |
| WalloO | ozkelligirl, depends on where you are. | 10:37 |
| hazysoni1 | no takers? Ideas where I can find help? | 10:37 |

| starz | hm | 10:37 |
| ozkelligirl | thanks Mr | 10:37 |
| MrWizeGuy | it's best to install things with the package manager or with synaptic ozkelligirl but you can install things from that site | 10:37 |
| WalloO | ozkelligirl, take a server near you | 10:37 |
| ozkelligirl | ok | 10:37 |
| starz | there's a list somewhere of repos ozkelligirl that are official, i would post in the forums asking ok? | 10:37 |
| starz | www.ubuntuforums.org | 10:37 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: can you send it again now? | 10:37 |
| Flannel | ozkelligirl: Read the wiki link that ubottu gave you about synaptic. | 10:37 |
| Flannel | starz: !mirrors has it | 10:38 |
| Bob26 | starz: ok i tested it out, the screens coming out ok now, but before when it was working the text was clearer and it wasnt too bright. i also get a blur line on top of the video when i play them. | 10:38 |
| hazysoni1 | tnx starz | 10:38 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, do you see the new dcc send? | 10:38 |
| ozkelligirl | thanks all | 10:38 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: I see it. it says "waiting for transfer to begin" | 10:38 |
| * MrWizeGuy is amazed that a girl uses linux and very impressed | 10:38 | |
| Flannel | MrWizeGuy: There are plenty of women using Linux, don't be so naive. | 10:39 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, wait, I will put it on a web site | 10:39 |
| MrWizeGuy | i guess it's just around here | 10:39 |
| MrWizeGuy | i've told several how cool it was and i think their eyes almost rolled all the way back into their heads | 10:39 |
| MrWizeGuy | needless to say, they weren't interested | 10:39 |
| starz | Bob26, its a starting point | 10:39 |
| CorpseFeeder | WalloO: I don't think DCC send is working in Pidgin | 10:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | My wife uses Linux... but its just her using Vmware, to run windows98, so i can easially run her 98 'setup' on various machines. | 10:40 |
| starz | now you can play with fonts, and cleartype or wahtever | 10:40 |
| CorpseFeeder | I will install XChat | 10:40 |
| starz | but it _IS_ using the nvidia now correct? | 10:40 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, use xchat, it's better for irc | 10:40 |
| raboof | doesn't the information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems belong at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ instead? | 10:40 |
| starz | CorpseFeeder, pidgin is not that great for irc lol | 10:40 |
| Bob26 | starz: yeh i think so | 10:40 |
| MrWizeGuy | that's cool, wish i had a girl that was geek enough to use linux | 10:40 |
| Flannel | raboof: Yes. | 10:40 |
| starz | MrWizeGuy, lol... | 10:41 |
| Bob26 | starz: its not very easy on the eyes though | 10:41 |
| BlueLagun2 | Hmm, by PCI Express graphics card was giving me problems so I decided to remove it and use the onboard graphics instead | 10:41 |
| elky | MrWizeGuy, i've told numerous guys how cool linux is and had the same reaction. it's certainly *not* a gender induced reaction | 10:41 |
| BlueLagun2 | However, now X won't start | 10:41 |
| BlueLagun2 | Is there away for it to autodetect the graphics driver again? | 10:41 |
| MrWizeGuy | hmmm, guess it's different by area | 10:41 |
| BlueLagun2 | The LiveCD detects the driver | 10:42 |
| CorpseFeeder | Should I download the XChat-Gnome front end too? | 10:42 |
| Kitu | how to install konqueror flash plugin ? | 10:42 |
| Kitu | please | 10:42 |
| Lunar_Lamp | CorpseFeeder: no, xchat-gnome is a totally different application (which many consider inferior) | 10:42 |
| WalloO | CorpseFeeder, I prefer the normal xchat, not the gnome frontend. | 10:42 |
| raboof | Flannel: hrm, it contains a comment saying #### do not move or rename as the Ubuntu Bug Control team uses this page extensively #### | 10:42 |
| CorpseFeeder | ok. PLain Xchat is what I normally use anyway. | 10:42 |
| Flannel | raboof: Alright, then there must be some special circumstances. There *is* an audio page in h.u.c | 10:43 |
| Flannel | !audio | raboof | 10:43 |
| ubottu | raboof: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:43 |

| Kitu | ok | 10:43 |
| WalloO | lore17, use network manager applet | 10:44 |
| raboof | ubottu: actually, alsa doesn't work - it freezes any application that tries to make a sound though it | 10:45 |
| ubottu | raboof: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:45 |

| Baltazaar | Oh... Thought it was a nightmare, but now it comes back to me... I'm being forced over to RHEL Desktop by company policy, for development... My Ubuntu does the job just as well... Stupid. | 10:49 |
| BlueLagun2 | I took out my old one and now X won't start | 10:49 |
| raboof | ok, so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems should describe how to file sound bugs, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting should help you troubleshoot your problem yourself | 10:49 |
| Baltazaar | same tools :0 | 10:50 |
| raboof | and they should link to each other | 10:50 |

| onats | that's where i am looking | 11:01 |
| CorpseFeeder | asmo[B], thank you. I will go see what it does... and how completely and utterly it can break my system ;) | 11:01 |

| Baltazaar | art.gnome.org, is a starting point | 11:03 |
| onats | what about the buttons? how do i install them automaticallty? | 11:03 |

| Bob24 | starz: k thanks ill see how it goes | 11:09 |
| MrWizeGuy | julian2495322, it sounds like it might have been partitioned, did you check all the partitions? | 11:09 |
| creature | Baltazaar: That's great, thanks. | 11:09 |
| maui | can someone advice me on what to do if there is an interface mssing? | 11:09 |
| asmo[B] | CorpseFeeder: sorry man, that's all I've got... still just learning myself | 11:09 |
| Knightly88 | Anyone have a suggestion for a good FTP program? Thanks. | 11:09 |
| maui | my board does have 2 gigabit ports but all i get is eth0 :( | 11:09 |
| Baltazaar | maui: like what kind of interface? | 11:09 |
| maui | something like eth1 ;) | 11:10 |
| Az | julian - or maybe he put in a Smaller new drive :p | 11:10 |
| Knightly88 | hey Maui... you in Maui? | 11:10 |
| tenX | Knightly88: i used to stick to gftp - on my gentoo installation it keeps crashing though :( | 11:10 |
| Baltazaar | maui: on the same nic? | 11:10 |
| maui | its an s3210shlx server board | 11:10 |
| MrWizeGuy | nice one Az, hope not though lol | 11:10 |
| maui | now i am in germany ;) | 11:10 |
| maui | dont know if its actually the same nic, both are mobo lan ports | 11:10 |
| tenX | maui: where exactly? | 11:10 |
| maui | aachen | 11:11 |
| Knightly88 | funny... I'm actually on Maui ;) | 11:11 |
| CorpseFeeder | asmo[B], yeah.. it just says "your card is supported by the legacy driver" then immediately after it says "your card is not supported by the legacy driver" - it seems to be retarded. | 11:11 |
| tenX | maui: ah :) took part in security course at rwth last year | 11:11 |
| Baltazaar | maui: what happens if you plug in to port 2, does it live? | 11:11 |
| maui | yes it does lighten up the port on my switch | 11:11 |
| maui | tenX: cool, i am studying cs at rwth | 11:12 |
| julian2495322 | thats what I think too. I have some "unnallocated space" | 11:12 |
| tenX | maui: cs? counterstrike? | 11:12 |
| maui | computer science | 11:12 |
| MrWizeGuy | are you looking at gparted julian2495322 ? | 11:12 |
| julian2495322 | no. Linux Reader | 11:12 |
| Baltazaar | and ifconfig still just lists eth1, maui? | 11:12 |
| Baltazaar | eth0 | 11:12 |
| maui | jep just eth0 | 11:13 |
| MrWizeGuy | i'm not familiar | 11:13 |
| jimcooncat | is there a visual program to throttle bandwidth of individual apps? | 11:13 |
| maui | jep just eth0 /etc/network/interfaces | 11:13 |
| Silex | is there a place that provides packages with the newest versions of softwares? | 11:13 |
| jimcooncat | I'm tired of flash hogging the connection | 11:13 |
| Silex | some kind of HEAD repository :) | 11:14 |
| julian2495322 | i know what i have to do | 11:14 |
| julian2495322 | thanks for your help | 11:14 |
| troxor | asmo[B]: nah, just forgot the link.. thanks though :) | 11:15 |
| unop | Silex, you could do what is done in debian and backport packages from intrepid to hardy - add the source repos for intrepid to sources.list and compile the new versions of packages you need | 11:15 |
| Az | julian - sudo fdisk -l | 11:15 |
| rothchild | hi I'm trying to set up twinview with my nvidia 5200fx how do I get the screen the right shape and size out of the svideo which I have plugged in to my tv? | 11:15 |
| Silex | unop: ok, will look into that | 11:15 |
| Silex | my package should show up on packages.ubuntu.com tho right? | 11:16 |
| Silex | (for intreptid) | 11:16 |
| Silex | s/pt/p/ | 11:16 |
| unop | Silex, only if you have added the intrepid deb-src repos tho | 11:16 |
| thyko | whats the best optical disc writting software right now? | 11:16 |
| rothchild | the nvidia xservers tool appears to only be marginly useful (although I might just not be using it right! ;-) | 11:16 |
| Silex | unop: no, I mean http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 11:16 |
| Silex | there's a search | 11:16 |
| Silex | I try to find a package for ghc6 for 6.8.3, there's only 6.8.2 | 11:17 |
| thyko | anyone? | 11:17 |
| unop | Silex, and even then, intrepid's source repos might not contain bleeding edge versions of packages .. in that case you could compile from the actual maintainers tarball, but intrepid's source has a higher chance of working right/properly | 11:17 |
| akhil_ | I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone?? | 11:17 |
| unop | Silex, right, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should have them if they are available for intrepid | 11:18 |
| Silex | unop: okay that's what I thought... thanks | 11:18 |
| Silex | it's a shame no 3rd party repo is there with bleeding edge packages | 11:18 |
| thyko | anyone write cds here? | 11:18 |
| unop | Silex, there are the ubuntu PPA repos which private individuals maintain .. you might find some newer compiled binaries there | 11:19 |
| thyko | :/ | 11:19 |

| elky | greenland, starz, please keep this channel clear for support questions | 11:25 |
| Flannel | greenland: take it to #ubuntu-ops | 11:25 |
| Starbucks | ok | 11:25 |
| starz | greenland, thats what happens when you use !ops too much and lightly | 11:25 |
| greenland | what a fuck ? | 11:25 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, ask your question first..... | 11:26 |
| starz | elky, i'm not even close to offtopic, chill. | 11:26 |
| Starbucks | Well im considering duel booting Ubuntu with vista its downloading at the moment, I just want to knonw the benefits I will gain/lose with Ubuntu please. | 11:26 |
| julio_neto | =/ | 11:26 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, A lot of things. | 11:26 |
| starz | Starbucks, you can certainly dual boot. it will probably run much faster, and quite frankly compiz-fusion is way better than aero. | 11:26 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, what do you do with your computer? | 11:26 |
| Starbucks | ? | 11:26 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, hmmmm... personnaly, I've both ubuntu and vista, and I used vista only for games I can't run on ubuntu using wine. | 11:27 |
| starz | there are far fewer viruses, and the popup that asks for permission to do things actually only comes up at a reasonable pace. | 11:27 |
| Starbucks | Play games like Wurm online (java I think) and runescape and crysis and things but also for general use like school work. | 11:27 |
| elky | starz, 'super stupid' was rather offtopic. | 11:27 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, hmmm | 11:27 |
| Starbucks | ok so I should duel boot then wallo0? | 11:27 |
| akhil_ | I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone?? | 11:28 |
| Mo0oSaH | Starbucks: imho, you should always dual boot if you have to ask that question | 11:28 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, I use vista for crysis. all the rest, even playin Counter-strike source work with linux | 11:28 |
| starz | elky, i was answering a question, and we both know that the occational line here and there means nothing. as i was refering to myself i wasnt breaking any of the 'traditions' or whatnot, and it was perfectly family ok / work safe. chill. | 11:28 |
| Starnestommy | akhil_: how are you trying to install it? | 11:28 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, ho. I forgot to say i use vista to configure my Harmony remote. | 11:28 |
| tenX | Starbucks: using debian/ubuntu you have easy remote access guaranteed considering the latest security flaws | 11:28 |
| akhil_ | Starnestommy, compling its source.. | 11:28 |
| babo | when i set my mail server to forward mail from my domain to my email address, the mail server fills the Reply-To: header with an obsolete email address ... | 11:28 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 ok | 11:29 |
| Starnestommy | akhil_: did you get the right -dev packages for glib? | 11:29 |
| starz | tenX, actually running a simple update kills the ssh flaws. | 11:29 |
| Sandrone | ciao sandrone vi saluta | 11:29 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, yes, dualboot is a good solution | 11:29 |
| greenland | sTeVo hello | 11:29 |
| Flannel | !prevu | akhil_ | 11:29 |
| ubottu | akhil_: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 11:29 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 11:29 |
| akhil_ | Starnestommy, Yes.. i installed libglib-dev | 11:29 |
| Starbucks | Are there any benefits to having a duel boot however instead of just vista | 11:29 |
| Flannel | !it | Sandrone | 11:29 |
| ubottu | Sandrone: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 11:29 |
| starz | tenX, not that bad actually, you would be surprised how few systems i saw get effected by that. | 11:29 |
| Starnestommy | akhil_: what about libglib2.0-dev? | 11:29 |
| Starbucks | Also I love the dreamscene feature on vista is there this feature on ubuntu please? | 11:30 |
| starz | Flannel, u chill with that buttonz too | 11:30 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, I use two disk one big for ubuntu and a smaller for Vista. When ubuntu run, I stop the vista disk to make my system noiseless | 11:30 |
| starz | oh nvm i read it wrong.... sowwie | 11:30 |
| starz | Starbucks, i quad boot. | 11:30 |
| Sandrone | sorry | 11:30 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, what is dreamscene? | 11:30 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 oh ok well I only have one disc so I think thats not going to be much of a problem | 11:30 |
| Sandrone | bye bood proseguiment | 11:30 |
| starz | hardy/gnome, xp, vista, hardy/kde4 | 11:30 |
| akhil_ | Starnestommy, I am installing that now | 11:30 |
| Starbucks | dreamscene is a video for the background | 11:30 |
| Sandrone | i non speeak inglish | 11:30 |
| Seras_Ubuntu | Hey, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu, and I've a quick question. I've got a USB thumb drive. Now, I'd delted all the files on it, my windows machine will read it as empty, but Ubuntu is still seeing it as full (no files) am I supposed to do somthing other than just delete the files? | 11:30 |
| tenX | starz: i didnt actually check any all of my the twenty systmes i was responsible for but recreated keys for ssh and espcecially ovpn | 11:31 |
| Flannel | Sandrone: /join #ubuntu-it | 11:31 |

| WalloO | Starbucks, hmmm don't know... just a second... | 11:31 |
| starz | tenX, i work at a datacenter.... about 7k systems... a third affected..... | 11:31 |
| tenX | heaven knows your mother lies! | 11:31 |
| akhil_ | Starnestommy, Well now ./configure asks for GTK dev packages.. | 11:31 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 ok | 11:31 |
| Mo0oSaH | Ubuntu runs significantly hotter on my computer than Vista, are there any measurements I could take to cool it down a bit? | 11:31 |
| wols_ | akhil_: pidgin is in ubuntu | 11:31 |
| starz | akhil_, what are you tryuing to comiple? | 11:31 |
| tenX | starz: but did you check for the systems being affected? | 11:31 |
| JustinChuTw | Hello, everybody. I am new to Ubuntu and hope that someone can help me with this problem that I am having once every so often. Sometimes when I start Ubuntu 8.04, the computer freezes (stops functioning) after the desktop and both the Panels at the top and bottom of the screen appear. The "User Name" and the Clock which should appear on the right side of the top Panel next to the "Shut Down" icon is missing and nothing happens wh | 11:31 |
| Starnestommy | akhil_: did you install libgtk2.0-dev? | 11:32 |
| starz | tenX, yeah | 11:32 |
| akhil_ | starz, pidgin | 11:32 |
| Starbucks | Im just asking because at the moment im not seeing much of a need for ubuntu I just was interested if it gave any benefits to vista other than security.. | 11:32 |
| tenX | starz: how? | 11:32 |
| wols_ | Mo0oSaH: dunno if it's in ubuntu but powertop could be a way | 11:32 |
| starz | akhil_, is there some special feature you need? | 11:32 |
| starz | tenX, we have a forensic's team | 11:32 |
| akhil_ | Starnestommy, no i guess. I did not know the package name.. | 11:32 |
| wols_ | !info pidgin | 11:32 |
| ubottu | pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 505 kB, installed size 1856 kB | 11:32 |
| tenX | starz: and what did they do? | 11:32 |
| starz | akhil_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pidgin pidgin-otr | 11:32 |
| starz | tenX, couple mitm's was about it | 11:33 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, take a look at that: http://youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w | 11:33 |
| druggy_ | any idea on how to uninstall white cursors in ubuntu? im running already custom xinitrc, but that one still puzzles me | 11:33 |
| starz | i would say i see centos owned much more. | 11:33 |
| akhil_ | starz, I am compiling the source as it is now. Though i thought i'd make some changes. | 11:33 |
| starz | though it was quite a hassle updating certs. | 11:33 |
| === guest is now known as agit | ||
| starz | akhil_, then: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin | 11:33 |
| Mo0oSaH | wols_: that looks interesting, will check it out | 11:33 |
| wols_ | akhil_: then use the ubuntu source package | 11:33 |
| Flannel | Starbucks: It'll run faster, quite a few people find it more productive, etc. You get automatic updates of all of your software at the push of a button, a vast catalog of software to choose from (and install safely, again, at the touch of a button) | 11:33 |

| akhil_ | starz, What does that do? | 11:33 |
| tenX | starz: being aware of the incompleteness of tools i preferred recreating any keys and certs.. | 11:34 |
| starz | akhil_, gets you everything you need to compile it. wols_ there is very trusty ;) | 11:34 |
| Flannel | akhil_: Check out prevu, it'll grab the version from Hardy (or intrepid) and compile it into a personal deb for you (it, and any libs you may need) | 11:34 |
| akhil_ | Flannel, Thanks | 11:34 |
| dalhoom | hey guys, need help with nvidia and Hardy real bad!! | 11:34 |
| starz | tenX, yes - and i'm sure many had to get 'recertified' from the ca- people | 11:34 |
| wols_ | starz: if he compiles from source he has a program outside the package management. that's bad. especially when there is no need for it | 11:34 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 ok flannel: ok well Ill try it out and see if I like it | 11:34 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | dalhoom | 11:34 |
| ubottu | dalhoom: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 11:34 |
| starz | hi dalhoom | 11:34 |
| julio_neto | where can I find a guide for new users? A guide about soft open-source and things like it? | 11:34 |
| tenX | starz: i sell linux as a security plus and got disappointed in a way customers couldnt even estimate | 11:35 |
| starz | wols_, thats why i asked why he was doing so - | 11:35 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, in fact, with ubuntu, there are a lot of very useful free software you can't find for vista, and you can do many good things very easily | 11:35 |
| Flannel | julio_neto: https://help.ubuntu.com/ | 11:35 |
| starz | tenX, agreed. | 11:35 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 cube! :) | 11:35 |
| Mo0oSaH | Starbucks: like Flannel said, best thing I love about Ubuntu is the free software! Theres a 106 page long thread on ubuntuforums.org where people are just talking about cool software they use that others might not know of | 11:35 |
| julio_neto | Flames, are you sure | 11:35 |
| starz | but tenX blame #debian not #ubuntu | 11:35 |
| julio_neto | ? | 11:35 |
| Starbucks | really? | 11:35 |
| wols_ | starz: so was i. but he insisted on compiling and a few changes. in whcih case: ubuntu source package | 11:35 |
| tenX | starz: it was an overkill | 11:35 |
| Flannel | julio_neto: Thats a guide for new users, yes. | 11:35 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, and there are many other things.... watch the whole video | 11:35 |
| tenX | starz: a desaster :( | 11:35 |
| starz | wols_, there's always svn... :P just depends on how bleeding edge one wants to go. | 11:36 |
| Starbucks | do all the things I see on that video wallo0 come with ubuntu?! | 11:36 |
| Knightly88 | I have LFTP installed on my Ubuntu System however I can't find any files to open the program... anyone know of the link/file name? or does this program run in the terminal? | 11:36 |
| starz | wols_, i do xchat, mplayer, vlc, from scratch, the rest from repos | 11:36 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, yes... If you like to learn things, this is pretty cool. The more you will understand linux, the more you will understand Windows | 11:36 |
| starz | oh and ffmpeg and x264 | 11:36 |
| Mo0oSaH | Starbucks: either they come with it or you can get them easily at no cost guaranteed! | 11:36 |
| rubydiamond | hi ppl | 11:36 |
| dalhoom | ok, the message ' your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly' keeps poping every time I reboot, and I get low resolution and no desktop effects | 11:36 |
| starz | wols_, frankly someone should port ports over to ubuntu. i want ebuilds. | 11:37 |
| Mo0oSaH | Starbucks: well it depends on how you define easily | 11:37 |
| Mo0oSaH | lol | 11:37 |
| wols_ | starz: it would go against the design, intent and purpose of ubuntu | 11:37 |
| starz | dalhoom, which card model do you have exactly? | 11:37 |
| starz | wols_, and it would go right with choice. | 11:37 |
| Starbucks | I didn't say easily at all did I?! | 11:37 |
| wols_ | it might work for debian but only might | 11:37 |
| dalhoom | geforce go 7400 | 11:37 |
| Mo0oSaH | Starbucks: I did :) | 11:38 |
| Starbucks | :P Sounds good though I like the cube effect...will it all work with my hardware? | 11:38 |
| === MrWizeGuy is now known as MrWizeGuy1983 | ||
| Starbucks | Mo0o oh ok :P | 11:38 |
| Flannel | starz: There are other distros that have similar goals, you may wish to look into them | 11:38 |
| wols_ | dalhoom: what videodriver? | 11:38 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, yes, in fact, unbuntu include thousand of software you can install from a single interface. this is conpiz-fusion. It'S installed by default, but you need to enable extra effect in the configuration panel, and install compiz-manager to finetune. But everything is done from ubuntu software manager. don't have to look around on several web sites | 11:38 |
| starz | Flannel, been there, spun that. i want the best of both worlds. | 11:38 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 can I disable certain features I don't want...? | 11:38 |
| dalhoom | glx-new I guess | 11:38 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 ok | 11:38 |
| wols_ | dalhoom: that's no driver | 11:39 |
| Jambon | hello. I've been having this issue. See when I switch resolution up from 1024.768 the top panel won't go over to the edge of the screen. It only goes over 1024 pixels and the rest is dead space. this quirk would be ok, if it didn't wreak havoc with the video players. totem shows only black until you drag the window past the end of the panel, and vlc won't fullscreen properly | 11:39 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 so its pretty simple to use then | 11:39 |
| wols_ | and if you "guess" you don't even know | 11:39 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, you can configure everything, that'S fun. | 11:39 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, for example, my desktop look like a macosx one, but I can make it look like vista, etc... | 11:39 |
| starz | Jambon, you are on vga connection? | 11:39 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 cool! | 11:39 |
| dalhoom | sorry, nvidia-glx-new | 11:40 |
| Jambon | starz: I believe so | 11:40 |
| generic | hi all any one works on opensc and openct | 11:40 |
| generic | ? | 11:40 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, yes, simple, and on ubuntu website forum, you will find the answer to 99% of your questions | 11:40 |
| Rocko | yay :) i got my vnc working from my Windows machine to my ubntu machine | 11:40 |
| Rocko | :P | 11:40 |
| Starbucks | So tell me...Could I have aero looking window panes and then have the cube effect and things and the other effects like wobbly windows aswell then? | 11:40 |
| Jambon | starz: yes, actually. | 11:40 |
| starz | Jambon, xrandr |grep current | 11:40 |
| jmazaredo | is it safe to change smtp banner to whatever word or sentence? | 11:40 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, at the beginning, you will have to look at what software you like and do what you want, but after that, it works smoothly. | 11:40 |
| Jambon | starz: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 864, maximum 1280 x 1200 | 11:41 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 ok cool...and what is this wine program you were talking about? Does it run windows programs? | 11:41 |
| the-herby | does anyone know why the fonts:/// location isnt working in hardy gnome? | 11:41 |
| dalhoom | everything was working fine in gutsy, after hardy upgrade it got missed up | 11:41 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, my girlfriend knows nothing about computers. I set an account on my linux box for her, and she never asked me a question. | 11:41 |
| rubydiamond | dalhoom: what happened | 11:41 |
| starz | dalhoom, i'm not very familiar with that card | 11:41 |
| rubydiamond | I just installed gutsy on my work machine | 11:41 |
| Starbucks | wallo0 so its pretty simple to learn then? | 11:42 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, do me a favor, please. Start tipping my name and press TAB key. After press enter. | 11:42 |
| starz | Jambon, do the resolution thing, and tell me what refresh are you at? | 11:42 |
| dalhoom | it came with dells laptop xps m1210 | 11:42 |
| Starbucks | julio_neto | 11:42 |
| starz | and also Jambon does it give you a drop down to change refresh rate | 11:42 |
| Starbucks | ooo nice :) | 11:42 |
| Jambon | starz: though in preferences the screen resolution manager says I'm at 1152x864@75hz | 11:42 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, wine allows you to run windows programs in linux like word, counter-strike, etc... | 11:42 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: So I could run my games then? | 11:42 |
| Flannel | Starbucks: Depends on the game | 11:43 |
| starz | Jambon, try messing with preferences screen resolution | 11:43 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, do it when you wanna talk directly to somebody | 11:43 |
| Starbucks | Flannel: Well like the sims games and spore and things? | 11:43 |
| dalhoom | does it have anything to do with the kernel type or sth? | 11:43 |
| Jambon | starz: just the resolution or refresh rate too? | 11:43 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, not all games, but some of them yes... for more information, look at www.winehq.org, there is a software compâtibility list | 11:43 |
| starz | dalhoom, sth ? | 11:43 |
| Starbucks | julio_neto: Yeah ok trying to now :) | 11:43 |
| starz | Jambon, all of that | 11:43 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: ok | 11:44 |
| starz | and compair if it matches to what xrandr is telling you | 11:44 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, perfect | 11:44 |
| dalhoom | headers and stuff, I'm a newbie to linux | 11:44 |
| starz | dalhoom, uname -a | 11:44 |
| Starbucks | julio_neto: Im getting quite excited about my new operating system xD and is it always going to be free by the way? | 11:44 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, most of the time, the problem with games is the "copy protection" which doesn't work perfectely with wine | 11:44 |
| eraldo | wasn't there a shortcut for ls -<list dirs before files> | 11:44 |

| julio_neto | Starbucks, I think so | 11:45 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Are there any games like the sims on linux then? I presume you have games made for linux right? | 11:45 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Nice one | 11:45 |
| julio_neto | Starbucks, Ubuntu is free, always will be. | 11:45 |
| starz | anto, you can get the / to show by using two of them: | 11:45 |
| julio_neto | thus like Linux | 11:45 |

| Jambon | starz: I only have one option at 1152 (75Hz) and 1280(60hz). in both the top bar only goes 1024 over then stops. restarting or making new bars doesn't change this behavior | 11:46 |
| elky | Starbucks, linux has been free and free for longer than the live of most people in this channel | 11:46 |
| anto | starz, i was changing channel | 11:46 |

| starz | Jambon, what video card/drivers? | 11:46 |
| Starbucks | elky: :O cool so it will never be charged for? | 11:46 |
| starz | anto, oh, lol | 11:46 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, there are several games. You will find a list in the software install interface, but games is not the best thing for linux. However, you have Quake3 clone games (openarena) | 11:46 |
| julio_neto | elky, isn't would be better say will be free for ever? | 11:46 |
| starz | !free | 11:46 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 11:46 |
| Mo0oSaH | LinuxHelp: I think non-free means that the source code is not available | 11:46 |
| dbmoodb_ | elky: when was linux never free ? | 11:47 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Howcome there not the best for linux? | 11:47 |

| starz | Mo0oSaH, see above free link.. free as in speach, and free as in beer. | 11:47 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Will java games like runescape and wurmonline work with ubuntu? | 11:47 |
| dbmoodb_ | elky: those are not equal | 11:47 |
| starz | StooJ, your in luck | 11:47 |
| dbmoodb_ | linux to my knowledge was always been free | 11:47 |
| starz | gran is using gnome ? | 11:47 |
| Mo0oSaH | starz: yes... | 11:47 |
| dalhoom | tried to use envy but did not work either | 11:47 |
| StooJ | starz - not yet, but she will be | 11:47 |
| Starbucks | WalloO I really must go get some breakfast in a minute I will continue this conversation afterwards if you still online :) thanks for all your help by the way. | 11:47 |
| starz | Mo0oSaH, and typically yeah | 11:47 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, yes. You can install java 5 and java 6 from sun | 11:48 |
| dbmoodb_ | except before its release perhaps | 11:48 |
| starz | StooJ, in the repository's accessable via add/remove or synaptic are high contrast themes. | 11:48 |
| Starbucks | wallo: Will it be installed automatically when I install ubuntu? :S | 11:48 |
| Jambon | starz: ati mobility 9200. | 11:48 |
| starz | also right click on desktop, do change desktop background, click on font tab, go advanced, and change dpi as needed | 11:48 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, no, but you can install it from the software manager called synaptic | 11:48 |
| starz | Jambon, might be you need a better driver. | 11:48 |
| starz | !ati | 11:48 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:49 |
| dalhoom | and I downloaded the new driver from nvidia site and complied it, but it failed because the gcc 4.1 is not compatible with gcc 4.2 | 11:49 |

| Ven]n | xfce uses mousepad | 11:49 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, this is synaptic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 11:49 |
| Starnestommy | Ven]n: I think ubuntu's default is gedit | 11:49 |
| dbmoodb_ | Starbucks: yes trackerd is good | 11:49 |
| StooJ | starz - yep, been looking at them but it's not really what I'm wanting. | 11:49 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Synaptic right ill remeber that thanks :) | 11:49 |
| Ven]n | Starnestommy: ok.. i just found it a bit heavy | 11:49 |
| glick | hey whats the difference between hybernate and standby on laptops? | 11:50 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, yes for all. I use a 8800GT and it works pretty well... :) | 11:50 |
| StooJ | starz - it's a start, but I'm thinking more along the lines of bigger icons, bigger fonts for tooltips etc etc | 11:50 |
| Mo0oSaH | glick: hibernate saves the contents of memory to hard drive and powers off completely. Standby just puts your system in low power state | 11:50 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, just enable nvidia driver when ubuntu will talk you about that. | 11:50 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Pretty well? So it might not work that good then? | 11:50 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: ok | 11:50 |
| dbmoodb_ | glick: one powers the computer down and turns off minus keeping things in ram, the other saves what was in ram to the disk and then turns off. there is also the option on linux to suspend to both. | 11:51 |
| starz | StooJ, also turn down resolution i suppose,.. | 11:51 |
| WalloO | Starbucks, there is no reason. I use my 8800GT with dual screen... It works perfectely | 11:51 |
| glick | Mo0oSaH, does it maintain network connections in standby? | 11:51 |
| dalhoom | anyone? | 11:51 |
| Starbucks | Well I must be off for a bit now guys thanks for all your help WalloO especially :). See you later. | 11:51 |
| glick | like IM | 11:51 |
| dbmoodb_ | s2both will produce a suspend like state and if your powerruns really low mean you keep your data | 11:51 |
| Starbucks | WalloO: Alright thanks :) bye for now | 11:51 |
| julio_neto | glick, normally don't | 11:51 |
| dbmoodb_ | glick: no ... those things are turned off | 11:51 |

| Kitu | hello | 11:52 |

| Kitu | tenX, i have added in konqueror plugin conf : /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ | 12:05 |
| Kitu | and i have scanned | 12:05 |
| tenX | Kitu: scanned? | 12:05 |
| Kitu | scan for new plugins | 12:05 |
| tenX | Kitu: wow is that a konqueror option? | 12:05 |
| tenX | Kitu: scan around? | 12:05 |
| Kitu | and in plugin list tab i have flashplayer-nonfree | 12:06 |

| CorpseFeeder | Help! I uninstalled the non-working envyng driver... now my screen res is locked at 640x480. How do I make it restore the driver originally used when Ubuntu was installed? | 12:18 |
| starz | [03:56] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: uninstall in envy then reinstall the card driver from the repo. | 12:18 |
| orphean | blumm: Open a nautilus window then go to Edit->Preferences In the 'Views' tab change Default Zoom Level under Icon View Defaults to 67% | 12:18 |
| SyncMaster213 | starz that post on ubuntuforums was started by me - it doesn't reveal the location of the file | 12:19 |
| SyncMaster213 | starz but thank you anyway | 12:19 |
| gordonjcp | CorpseFeeder: you're going to need a young priest and an old priest, and maybe some candles | 12:19 |
| gordonjcp | SyncMaster213: What exactly are you trying to do? | 12:19 |
| gordonjcp | SyncMaster213: or, to put it another way, rather than focusing on trying to find a specific app to solve a problem, how about describing the problem you're trying to solve? | 12:19 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: I'm trying to download videos from youtube - I've used several tools that I don't like and I used to have Capture 'n Convert | 12:20 |
| orphean | blumm: actually i lied. apparently that box doesn't have 67%. sigh | 12:20 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: I know it's on sourceforge but I can't seem to find it | 12:20 |
| CorpseFeeder | starz orphean : I don't know where the original driver from the repo is. I searched ATI radeon and installed the thing which came up, and that is what locked my res to 640x480 | 12:20 |
| blumm | orphean: :D | 12:20 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: it was a great tool | 12:20 |
| blumm | orphean: theres 75% and 50% | 12:20 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: I'm aware of all the other tools that you can find via google like converttube so please don't post them | 12:20 |
| gordonjcp | SyncMaster213: there is absolutely nothing called "Capture 'n Convert" on sf.net | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | SyncMaster213: are you sure you've got the right name? | 12:21 |
| blumm | orphean: 50% is better too, thanks | 12:21 |
| Tallken | SyncMaster213: LOL, you can always grab the video at your /tmp ;) | 12:21 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: I can also pull the files from the firefox cache but I just liked the features and organisation of capture 'n convert | 12:21 |
| orphean | blumm: i just checked in gconf and there's no way to make it be default for values other than those, so i'm glad you're happy w/ 50% :) | 12:21 |
| orphean | CorpseFeeder: try the fglrx driver | 12:22 |
| blumm | orphean: thanks | 12:22 |
| blumm | in rhythmbox, how can i remove an album in the library? delete or right-click dont work?! | 12:22 |

| darius_ | Hi, maybe somebody know how solve “cups-missing-filter” problem? I have this problem on my desktop with ubuntu 8.04 and canon pixma mp160 printer. On notebook with some version of ubuntu this printer work perfect, only one difference than desktop upgraded from 7.10, notebook have fresh install. Solution provided in forum with “sudo aa-complain cupsd” command doesn't help. Sorry for my english, this is not my native language :) | 12:23 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: I've received several other options and suggestions but I just really liked the program and I re-imaged my lapper and didn't keep the program | 12:23 |
| starz | ok i found it | 12:23 |
| starz | SyncMaster213, think i got it | 12:23 |
| Dr_willis_ | darius, i belive there are some cups ppd packages not installed by default. CHeck thepackage manager and install any that are not installed? | 12:23 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: from the command prompt the program was executed by using the command "cac" | 12:23 |
| gordonjcp | SyncMaster213: there's always something you foreget to back up | 12:23 |
| gordonjcp | *forget | 12:23 |
| SyncMaster213 | gordonjcp: so true | 12:24 |

| starz | darkangel42, easiest way is to look in ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs | 12:26 |
| darkangel42 | thank you | 12:26 |
| starz | if you have logging on then you can see the channels youve been to, otherwise you need to try a channel list, np | 12:26 |

| linny | hey all does anyone know if its possible to telnet from ubuntu to a windows server if so how ? | 12:27 |
| gordonjcp | SyncMaster213: it was called something else | 12:27 |
| Dr_willis_ | naught101, theres some 'streamripper' tool ive used befor. | 12:27 |
| orphean | linny: the windows server would need a telnet server installed. | 12:27 |
| starz | lol thanx SyncMaster213 .. its all good.. i'm going to have to give that little bugger a run | 12:27 |
| jsnt_99 | i have problem with my key board configuration any body can help me | 12:28 |
| orphean | linny: most likely what you want is ssh however... in which case it needs an ssh server installed ;) | 12:28 |
| linny | it has but i get a protocol mismatch | 12:28 |
| starz | jsnt_99, oh? | 12:28 |
| blumm | orphean: is there any option in nautilus to set the view like in the active window? | 12:28 |
| orphean | blumm: not quite sure what you mean | 12:28 |
| naught101 | Dr_willis_: for video as well? | 12:28 |
| jsnt_99 | hi | 12:29 |
| blumm | orphean: i want to set all folders to 50% now but nautilus remembers my old 67% settings and i dont want to change it in every single folder | 12:29 |
| starz | jsnt_99, if your in gnome try: system > preferences > keyboard preferences "layouts" tab | 12:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | naught101, i used the tools to rip video from some shoutcast streams to play offline. I dont rember the name of the prog. | 12:29 |
| naught101 | ok | 12:29 |
| jrib | blumm: edit preferences -> defaul zoom level does not work? | 12:30 |
| orphean | jrib: it works but nautilus remembers the settings on a per window basis. so new windows will come with the default. | 12:30 |
| blumm | jrib: it does but when i go to a folder where i changed it before to 67% it wont change to 50% | 12:30 |
| blumm | orphean: exactly | 12:30 |
| orphean | blumm: i can't think of a good way other than deleting your nautilus settings folders. | 12:30 |
| starz | DistroJockey, didnt know about that notebook one, genious | 12:31 |
| IndoRama | which one you think is the coolest free game on Ununtu ? | 12:31 |
| golb23 | DistroJockey: yeah exactly like that but google doesnt support opera, so i cant write anything | 12:31 |
| CorpseFeeder | orphean, that didn't work. I am still stuck in 640x480 mode | 12:31 |
| jrib | orphean: oh, I see. It is remembering the ones you changed, so you want to delete wherever it is storing that info? | 12:31 |
| linny | in the email from the server company ssh is on port 22 on the windows server, how would i go about connecting to that from my ubuntu home machine ? | 12:31 |
| DistroJockey | starz: heh, used it for ages, tis a nice one, cheers :) | 12:31 |
| blumm | orphean: hmmm | 12:31 |
| orphean | jrib: yeah that's it. | 12:31 |
| Zanth_88 | IndoRama: there are a lot of games for linux. depends on your tastes. FPS? RTS? etc. | 12:31 |
| DistroJockey | golb23: ohh :( | 12:32 |
| starz | here's one for you: did you know you could drag tabs from one instance of firefox to another? | 12:32 |
| orphean | CorpseFeeder: try running sudo aticonfig --initial at a commandl ine. | 12:32 |
| jrib | orphean: ~/.nautilus/metafiles/* | 12:32 |
| IndoRama | RTS...any suggestions ? | 12:32 |
| bo0ts | hi there | 12:32 |
| CorpseFeeder | orphean, isn't there some way I can run the screen configuration thing again which originally set up the video card when I installed ubuntu? | 12:32 |
| golb23 | DistroJockey: appearntly they dont support konqueror either :/ | 12:32 |
| blumm | jrib: all in nautilus/metafiles/ can be deleted? | 12:32 |
| Zanth_88 | IndoRama: maybe Glest | 12:33 |
| bo0ts | ive already postet a thread on the dell support forum. anybody willing to look into the issue with me? | 12:33 |
| DistroJockey | golb23: Firefox works :) | 12:33 |
| starz | ooo | 12:33 |
| golb23 | DistroJockey: yeah but let's just say I prefer opera ;( | 12:33 |
| jrib | blumm: sure, move them instead of deleting them just in case you see something you missed later | 12:33 |
| starz | DistroJockey, you should try that cac | 12:33 |
| golb23 | :P | 12:33 |

| DistroJockey | gcu: ask away, I'll see what I can do ;) | 12:38 |
| orphean | DistroJockey: the acceptable values are strings mapped to the percentages in the ui. (small, large, smaller, etc). you can't set an arbitray percentage there and there's nothing in there that will solve blumm's current problem. | 12:38 |

| msingh` | Dr_willis_: i am sure there is already one | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, the issues ive been having 2ith samba are neither of those 2 issues you mention. | 12:45 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: wht issues are you having? | 12:46 |
| clarezoe | hi, can anyone help? My "tomboy" crashes when I create new notebook, here's the terminal out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/21801/ | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, you might want to check the forums, there may be some bug/workaround info. My issue is with gnome/kde file manager and smbfuse, not seeing the windows shares/network at all. | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, but odly enough if i run smb4k - it can see/mount the windows shares fine. | 12:46 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: i am having problems with sharing, not viewing shares | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, Yep. Im having the exact opposite. Windows can get to the linux machines fine. | 12:47 |
| Knightly88 | Anyone know how to get the "special" buttons on a mouse to work in Ubuntu? Like the forward and back and center buttons? | 12:47 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: stupid hardy broken what worked perfectly in 7.10 | 12:47 |
| CorpseFeeder | orphean, it all appears to be back to normal now. Thanks. | 12:47 |
| orphean | CorpseFeeder: whew :) stay away from envy! :) | 12:48 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Hello, Can someone tell me how long it may take for Firefox 3 to be available for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy? | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, down with progress! | 12:48 |
| CorpseFeeder | orphean, yeah. Seems my laptop hates it. | 12:48 |
| rsk | Muhammad_Saad: it won't be in gutsy | 12:48 |
| skal_ | hey | 12:48 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: i just want the losers who broke it to know they have broken it | 12:49 |
| skal_ | im on 8.04 | 12:49 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: where can i find them? | 12:49 |
| skal_ | msingh any doubts? | 12:49 |
| orphean | Muhammad_Saad: never in the repos. if you want it you'll have to do so from outside the official repo tree. | 12:49 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, from what ive read in the forums - the issues are hard to track down.. But it seemed that using the older version of samba, fixed the problems.. but thats not a good 'fix' | 12:49 |
| DistroJockey | Knightly88: I assume you are not using 8.04? | 12:49 |
| skal_ | i think slackware is good | 12:49 |
| DistroJockey | Knightly88: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712212 | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, oddly enouhg - my installs of Linux Mint (ubuntu variant) do NOT seem to have the problem. | 12:50 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: for you? for me it's they decided to stop using the old way and switched to a new one which doesnt work. which is bloody frustrating for a user | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, theres the new samba in the works also. :) wonder when it will be ready. | 12:51 |
| happywithltsp | #ltsp | 12:51 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: im sure this is not a samba problem -- this is a ubuntu problem and specifically a 8.04 problem because i never had any problems with 7.10 | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, from what ive read. (go check the forums if you want) it seems tobe somthing very hard to track down. THeres plenty of evidence there is a problem.. just no one can seem to track down what specifically is the issue. I posted my info/specs/stuff to the forums to help out the others.. but ive not checked on the thread lately | 12:53 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: the forums are no good unless someone is having the same exact problem as you and they are smart enough to leave enough clues to find that thread | 12:54 |
| DistroJockey | msingh`, Dr_willis_ : what was the issue again? | 12:54 |
| msingh` | DistroJockey: samba sharing is broken | 12:54 |
| DistroJockey | msingh`: as in you use Connect to server ? | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, guess ya jut give up then, or sit in here and rant all day. I found quite a few threads on the topic. and learnd a few things. | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | Off to recheck the threads i bookmarked. | 12:54 |
| msingh` | Dr_willis_: there is nothing i can do about it though except complain about a broken distro because this is a very important feature for pretty much any computer user | 12:55 |
| jrib | msingh`: the comments in the bug for your issue is usually where you can get some answers | 12:55 |
| msingh` | give me a link | 12:55 |
| msingh` | it's not like i havent spend many hours of my life searching google already | 12:55 |
| jrib | msingh`: you said you were sure one was filed. | 12:55 |
| DistroJockey | msingh`: if you use connect to server, the link gets put in places and a blank window of the machine opens, then you need to click on the share in places and it works | 12:55 |
| sharperguy | Anyone know if theres a fix/workaround for opengl windows flickering while running compiz-fusion (without turning it off)? | 12:56 |
| blumm | how can i change user rights in gproftpd so uploaded stuff is accessible to the normal user? | 12:56 |
| DistroJockey | msingh`: I believe it is a gnome-keyring issue | 12:56 |
| jrib | msingh`: bugs.ubuntu.com | 12:56 |
| msingh` | jrib: that's not helpful | 12:57 |
| screenname57648 | hello. How do you set the default action for when a dvd is inserted please? | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | DistroJockey, i was having my issues under kde, and fusesmb as well. :) | 12:57 |
| Moodles | i was playing around removing useless things like openoffice, evolution etc, but when i rebooted i lost the top menu bar, the one that includes date/time/applications etc | 12:58 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis_: ahh, fair enough. | 12:58 |
| msingh` | why is it a keyring issue? | 12:58 |
| jrib | msingh`: it is. Search for your issue. "samba sharing is broken" isn't a helpful description even if someone was willing to search for you | 12:58 |
| DistroJockey | msingh`: something to do with the authentication I guess (but I could be wrong) | 12:58 |
| msingh` | jrib: it is broken though! | 12:59 |
| orphean | Moodles: make sure you didn't uninstall gnome-panel | 12:59 |
| msingh` | sharing doesnt work -- what more can i say? | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | DistroJockey, of course im finding dozens of weird issues with samba, and whats really weird is that smb4k worked fine on hardy. and now i have some Linux Mint box's that are all working fine.. | 12:59 |
| Moodles | synaptic shows gnome-panel is still installed | 12:59 |
| msingh` | http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=181 | 12:59 |
| jrib | msingh`: start with that then. And compare the bug reports about broken sharing to your situation | 12:59 |
| msingh` | that's the first hit on google. so i see more and more poeopel are having the same problem | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | DistroJockey, really got me confused that smb4k worked. | 13:00 |
| Moodles | ill try installing missing gnome-* ones | 13:00 |
| msingh` | jrib: there is not much more to say. the silly ubuntu maintainer who broke iit nows needs to step up | 13:00 |
| jrib | msingh`: open source is a two way street between users and developers. I don't understand why you would prefer to rant instead of helping with the bug process | 13:00 |
| orphean | Moodles: if its installed try hitting Alt-F2 and then running gnome-panel | 13:00 |
| bjb1959 | my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas? | 13:01 |
| orphean | Moodles: see what happens at least :) | 13:01 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis_: Not looked into it much. I just connect to Windows shares. And even that doesn't work flawlessly. | 13:01 |
| msingh` | jrib: how do you propose i help? it's been months since this bug came about | 13:01 |
| jrib | msingh`: link me to the bug | 13:01 |
| jrib | report | 13:01 |
| msingh` | jrib: i pasted a link already | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | DistroJockey, yep. My issue seems to be more of a 'scan the network and it instantly times out' issue. The windows boxs have no issues connecting to the linux machines | 13:02 |
| jrib | msingh`: to the bug report? Sorry, I didn't see it. Can you link again? | 13:02 |
| Moodles | ok i got the panel back | 13:02 |
| sanity | Preventing bugs is down to the QA processes, and formalizing those processes? IS the developer's job. | 13:02 |
| msingh` | jrib: i dont know. | 13:03 |
| bjb1959 | my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas? | 13:03 |
| Moodles | orphean: if i reboot will gnome-panel load automatically? | 13:04 |
| jrib | msingh`: this is my point. The best place for you to get insight into your issue and to help in solving it is bugs.ubuntu.com | 13:04 |
| msingh` | jrib: i'll have a look now | 13:04 |
| orphean | Moodles: it should yes. if it doesn't then come back here. | 13:04 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis_: ahh. I never use a scan network as I'm used to Browse Network in Windows with a very large Active Directory not working very well :) | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | DistroJockey, i normally used the smbfuse stuff.. but it started not working on me during beta. couldent even track down good error messages to report. | 13:05 |
| blumm | how can i change the accessibility of files being uploaded by another user on gproftpd? | 13:06 |
| Moodles | i find webmin does a better job of administrating proftpd | 13:07 |
| blumm | can anybody help me with gproftpd ? | 13:07 |

| Dr_willis_ | msingh`, i noticed that bug also and found it confuseing also... :) thats how the kde/gnome file managers work.. | 13:09 |
| msingh` | bjb1959: what drivers are you using? | 13:09 |
| Moodles | bjb1959: did you reconfigure xserver-org package? | 13:10 |
| rsl | morning. | 13:10 |
| rsl | can someone tell me what user/group /var/log/apache2 should be by default? | 13:10 |
| bjb1959 | msingh the linux-restricted drivers that automatically install by kernel version | 13:10 |
| doctorow | I used synaptic to install Firefox 3.0 on my Gutsy machine and all the UI text (dialog boxes, searchbar, location bar) shows up as little mushroom-shaped characters instead of roman/english ones. What did I do wrong? | 13:11 |
| jrib | rsl: root/adm | 13:11 |
| bjb1959 | moodles, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only reconfigured my mouse and keyboard. didn't ask about video card | 13:11 |
| rsl | jrib: thanks. | 13:12 |
| doctorow | I used synaptic to install Firefox 3.0 on my Gutsy machine and all the UI text (dialog boxes, searchbar, location bar) shows up as little mushroom-shaped characters instead of roman/english ones. What did I do wrong? | 13:13 |
| Riotta | maybe it's your profile doctorow | 13:14 |
| doctorow | Riotta: tell me more? | 13:14 |
| bjb1959 | msingh, moodles any ideas? | 13:14 |
| Riotta | move it your profile in /home/yourusername/.mozilla/firefox to some backup directory and run firefox again doctorow | 13:15 |
| msingh` | bjb1959: sorry i didnt catch your answer | 13:15 |
| bjb1959 | msingh, the linux-restircted drivers for the kernel installed | 13:16 |
| msingh` | with the proprietary drivers it could be anything. sorry i cant help you | 13:16 |
| doctorow | Riotta, | 13:16 |
| gordonjcp | msingh`: with the free drivers it could also be anything | 13:16 |
| gordonjcp | msingh`: particularly with nvidia | 13:16 |
| doctorow | Riotta, I did that and when Ffox 3 relaunched the confirguration Ui was still all in bad characters | 13:16 |
| msingh` | gordonjcp: true, atm i am stuck with VESA on one of my machines because there is no free driver and the nvidia one doesnt work | 13:17 |
| Riotta | is english your native language ? or u use something more exotic maybe it's locales fault? bad localization or bug in them | 13:17 |
| screenname57648 | hello | 13:17 |
| screenname57648 | folks how do you skype on ubuntu? | 13:17 |
| gordonjcp | msingh`: the nvidia free driver only supports vesa 640x480 anyway | 13:17 |
| bjb1959 | msingh, agree with gordonjcp. free drivers don't work with 3d. but the problem is I can't even get dpkg-reconfigure to install the nv driver | 13:18 |
| gordonjcp | screenname57648: install skype, configure mike, phone people | 13:18 |
| doctorow | Riotta, I'm a native English speaker, and the rest of my UI is in English | 13:18 |
| screenname57648 | what about ekiga | 13:18 |
| Riotta | ok | 13:18 |
| Riotta | well hmm :d | 13:18 |
| Dmole | how do I run something as a different user (VLC from CRON) | 13:18 |
| Dmole | ? | 13:18 |
| msingh` | gordonjcp: hmm nope i've done higher reses with the nv driver before | 13:18 |
| msingh` | Dmole: su - user | 13:18 |
| screenname57648 | does ekiga do the skype protocols? | 13:18 |
| Riotta | what can I say maybe somehow the firefox package corrupted you using it from ubuntu repository or some other place ? | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | Dmole, running a gui app from cron, may not work very well. | 13:19 |
| screenname57648 | also, how do you do iTunes on ubuntu? | 13:19 |
| Riotta | if it's corrupted go to synaptic and reinstall the firefox package | 13:19 |
| doctorow | Riotta -- I tried reinstalling, no love! | 13:19 |
| phdmybest | could not complier libpng.the system said:checking for zlibVersion in -lz... no | 13:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | doctorow Just out of curiosity did you install FF3 off the web (non-reop version) prior to the one from synaptic | 13:19 |
| Duesentrieb | hi all | 13:19 |
| doctorow | Jack_Sparrow, no, using Synaptic | 13:20 |
| nomopofomo | Jack_Sparrow, the perfect guy. I bet you know. Have you ever heard of anyone updating their motherboard firmware using a DOS emulator? | 13:20 |
| bjb1959 | so I get the feeling that no one knows how to help me? | 13:20 |
| Riotta | doctorow: what window manager you use ? | 13:20 |
| Riotta | gnome ? | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nomopofomo no on in their right mings | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | minds | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sorry fingers not awake yet | 13:20 |
| doctorow | Riotta, yes, Gnome | 13:20 |
| Duesentrieb | when i use cron to automatically execute jobs, where will output/errors be logged? From server systems, i'm used to getting them per system mail, but ubuntu doesn't have an MTA installed per default. | 13:20 |
| Duesentrieb | so, where do they go`? | 13:20 |
| nomopofomo | Jack_Sparrow, haha... okay... so I should probably download FreeDOS and do it like that? | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nomopofomo Much better choice | 13:20 |
| doctorow | Riotta, Also, the UI is HUGE -- all the buttons are GIGANTIC, as is the Googlebar, etc | 13:21 |
| jsnt_99 | qualcuno parla in italiano | 13:21 |
| Riotta | ah | 13:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nomopofomo flashing is so critical on timing you dont want anything os or vm in there that could disrupt it | 13:21 |
| screenname57648 | bye! | 13:21 |
| Riotta | I think it could be a wrong dpi setting problem doctorow | 13:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !it > jsnt_99 | 13:22 |
| doctorow | Riotta, but it seems like it's just in FFox 3, not in any other apps or the Gnome or FFox 2 | 13:22 |
| nomopofomo | Jack_Sparrow, thanks for the tip. :) | 13:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 13:23 |
| Riotta | doctorow: try what happen if you move entire .mozilla folder to another place and restart firefox | 13:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | doctorow the first thing I would do is save my bookmarks to a safe place | 13:24 |
| orphean | like delicious heh | 13:24 |
| Riotta | Jack_Sparrow: I said move not delete ;) | 13:24 |
| doctorow | Riotta, same thing... | 13:24 |
| Riotta | ok | 13:24 |
| Riotta | doctorow: give me the answer of this command 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution' | 13:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Riotta Understood.. but it is still a good idea before he does much of anything to save those | 13:25 |
| doctorow | Oh shit. I just did mv .mozilla .mozilla.bak and relaunched, then did mv. mozilla.bak .mozilla and when Ffox 2 came backup, all my config/bookmarks were gone | 13:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | doctorow, this is why i like those web based bookmarking sites/extensions. :) | 13:26 |

| WalloO | LimCore, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960 | 13:57 |
| Daenyth | jrib: installing tab mix plus fixed it, it must be related to that extension. Thanks for your help | 13:57 |
| JaCib | wbadger: maybe is there errors in grubs startup commands | 13:57 |
| wbadger | JaCib: yes, I have one hard drive, with 4 partitions. first two are NTFS for windows, 3rd is ext3 on which I just installed xubuntu 8.04, and 4th is swap | 13:58 |
| Daenyth | ew, single partition install | 13:58 |
| Daenyth | split /home next time at least | 13:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 13:58 |
| wbadger | JaCib: thanks, I thought so too, but I didn't find any important difference between new and old menu.lst | 13:58 |
| Daenyth | for me, I always split at least /home, and usually /boot too | 13:59 |
| Daenyth | if I were running a production machine I'd split /usr and /var as well | 13:59 |
| wbadger | Daenyth: how does splitting /home help? | 13:59 |
| JaCib | wbagder: check if the grub startup command points to /dev/sda2 or /dev/hda2 | 13:59 |
| WalloO | LimCore, with watermark, you can easily change fan speed, and even overclock or underclock your video card from the system. | 13:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wbadger MAkes upgrades and reinstalls a breeze | 13:59 |
| Daenyth | wbadger: it helps massively for reinstalling/backups/distro change | 13:59 |

| Kele1 | Is there any possible to running WOW on ubuntu? anyone knows? | 14:00 |
| Daenyth | Kele1: WoW runs well in wine I am told | 14:00 |
| wbadger | JaCib: what sturtup command are you referring to | 14:00 |
| DjViper | how do you run a .jnlp file? | 14:00 |
| * LivingInTwilight always puts /home on a separate partition. A separate disk, if he can. | 14:00 | |
| Daenyth | in any case | 14:00 |
| Flynsarmy | Kele1, It runs with wine. you could check the WINE app db to see if your version works | 14:01 |
| Daenyth | later, thanks for the help | 14:01 |
| ubuntu | Wine 1.0 works great. | 14:01 |
| wbadger | DjViper: with javaws I think | 14:01 |
| DjViper | okay | 14:01 |
| Kele1 | Flynsarmy: it is runs as windows with wine? | 14:01 |
| WalloO | Kele1, yes, it'S possible with wine, but I heard a guy who had is account disabled becauyse they thought he was using bots, but in fact he just played from linux. don't know how blizzard deals with that now | 14:01 |
| Flynsarmy | Kelel: Wine is an implimentation of windows for unix. it lets you run windows apps on ubuntu | 14:02 |
| Leefmc | Question: Is there an apt-get flag/command to completely remove an app? In the package manager, i notice there is a "Mark for complete removal" which removes settings, old dirs, etc, which i see that apt-get remove is leaving intact. | 14:02 |
| orphean | Leefmc: purge | 14:02 |
| LivingInTwilight | Leefmc, aptitude purge <blah> | 14:02 |
| Leefmc | aptitude? new command :o, k thanks | 14:03 |
| Flynsarmy | LivingInTwilight, What's the diff between apt-get purge and apt-get remove? | 14:03 |
| LivingInTwilight | Flynsarmy, remove preserves configuration entries and files. Purge does not, by design. | 14:03 |
| Flynsarmy | LivingInTwilight, Thanks | 14:03 |
| wbadger | JaCib: menu.lst has this line under the ubuntu titles : root(hd0,2) | 14:03 |
| Kele1 | OK, for all your help, i will check info about wine how to run WOW, just take a try... lol | 14:04 |
| LivingInTwilight | Leefmc, aptitude is a curses-based menu-driven interface to apt-get and dpkg. Entering simply 'aptitude' will start it. However, it also supports many of the same options that apt-get does, and from what I am aware, it has better dependency tracking. It will remove packages no longer required by dependencies. Not sure if apt-get does that, but I've had cases where it didn't. | 14:04 |
| mib | hi..i have a problem in dvd | 14:04 |

| === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL | ||
| Zanth_88 | Sockmonkey: open a Terminal and type 'sudo pppoeconf' | 14:05 |
| WalloO | Kele1, to have everything working, you will need to install dx9. So take a look at dx9 install tutorial for wine, and follow each step carefully. | 14:05 |
| Leefmc | LivingInTwilight: Well apt-get does have apt-get autoremove, which does something similar it sounds like | 14:05 |

| mib | anyone could help | 14:05 |
| crm_ | r/w? | 14:05 |

| mib | it comes up Error read datra from resource | 14:06 |
| WalloO | crm_, for sure. 3g | 14:06 |
| LivingInTwilight | Flynsarmy, no. As I said, aptitude is an interface for apt-get. | 14:06 |
| WalloO | crm_, it's now enabled in ubuntu8.04 by default | 14:06 |
| LivingInTwilight | Flynsarmy, however, the syntax is much the same. | 14:06 |
| crm_ | WalloO.. is that now considered "stable"? | 14:06 |
| Kele1 | WalloO: its OK. thanks for your suggestion.. | 14:06 |
| Sockmonkey | Zanth_88, what do I need to do after that? (It's dual booted with XP so I can't do it step by step :/) | 14:06 |
| rsk | crm_: stable since quite a while | 14:06 |
| LivingInTwilight | Flynsarmy, apt-get install/remove/purge/search = aptitude install/remove/purge/search | 14:06 |
| JaCib | wbadger: is it possible to show me your menu.lst file? (pastebin) | 14:06 |
| Flynsarmy | mib: Make sure you've restarted after you install all the dvd stuff. | 14:06 |
| WalloO | crm_, it's enabled by default in ubuntu, and I never had a problem using it. | 14:06 |
| crm_ | rsk.. ta | 14:07 |

| mib | Flynsarmy: i just want to open a dvd | 14:07 |
| Sockmonkey | XP, otherwise I wouldn't need to know how to get internet working? | 14:07 |
| mib | what does the error means anyway | 14:07 |
| LivingInTwilight | Leefmc, aptitude does it automatically. If there is an unneeded library after you remove something, it cleans it out. | 14:07 |
| Zanth_88 | hmm | 14:07 |
| Leefmc | LivingInTwilight: Gotcha | 14:07 |
| Flynsarmy | mib: Not a clue. All i know is i installed the video dvd stuff earlier today and it wasn't working. I restarted and now it is | 14:07 |

| mib | is it apt-get install VLC? | 14:09 |
| Ad84 | is there any online video tutorials on ubuntu or linux training? | 14:09 |
| LivingInTwilight | WalloO, I know that you can do something similar with the Core 2 Quads. Q6600, G0 stepping, can go from 2.4GHz to 3.4GHz stable on air. | 14:09 |
| Elijah | I have installed ubuntu since 7.04 | 14:09 |
| danbhfive | Ad84: for free? | 14:10 |
| gnumm | crm_: you can configure it with "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" | 14:10 |
| Flynsarmy | mib: lowercase, but yes | 14:10 |
| danbhfive | Elijah: whats the problem | 14:10 |
| WalloO | LivingInTwilight, my Q6600 is very stable at 3.6 by air. But I don't know for Xeon. | 14:10 |
| orphean | mib: type aptitude search <whatever> to find packages. | 14:10 |
| Ad84 | yes or at a price whatever is out there:) | 14:10 |
| Flynsarmy | mib: To install the stuff that lets dvds play, do the 2 commands on this page: http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands. then reboot | 14:10 |
| LivingInTwilight | WalloO, Honestly, I think you're probably good to go. The Xeon processors aren't much different - I think they're just a better binning of their associated Core 2. | 14:10 |
| JaCib | wbadger: is your dics a sata or old ide? | 14:11 |

| danbhfive | Elijah: ok, well, for every kernel installed, a set of options is automatically inserted into grub. 3 for each, normal recovery memtest. Just uninstall extra kernels to get rid of those | 14:15 |
| JaCib | wbagder: try this instead: http://paste.uni.cc/18899 | 14:15 |

| doktoreas | what I don't understand if I should do something with DNS | 14:16 |
| Elijah | danbhfive, How do I unsinstall kernels? | 14:16 |
| danbhfive | Elijah: to change the default that is selected at bootup, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst There are options in there. You should be careful, read through it, and understand it | 14:16 |
| Elijah | danbhfive, So why doesn't ubuntu uninstall old kernels on upgrade? | 14:17 |
| danbhfive | Elijah: you could try synaptic, look for a package that starts with linux-image, and ends with the version number you want to get rid of | 14:17 |
| DrHalan | hi guys, totem and nautilus (when displaiyng video previews) became extremly unstable. what could be the reason for that? | 14:17 |
| danbhfive | Elijah: in case the new kernel doesnt work, that way you can still boot into the old kernel | 14:17 |

| abelabel | hi, after a partially failed ubuntu studio installation (8.04) on my laptop, I now have a functioning Grub menu and can start Ubuntu, but only get access to the command line. I've tried installing gnome and kde using apt-get and did a "sudo apt-get upgrade", but when typing "gnome-session" I get a warning: Gtk-warning **: cannot open display - any hints how to resolve this? I'm dual booting and can acces the file system. | 14:23 |
| Elijah | danbhfive, so basically when you dual boot ubuntu it installs grub and makes it the default bootloader and disables/deletes the windows booter | 14:23 |
| esteth | Hi everyone. How do i get the latest drivers for my intel GMA graphics? | 14:23 |
| the-herby_ | hello. i installed ubuntu-xen-server on gutsy and now it always gets unresponsive so that no key stroke will geht through :( this happens even if i boot up the normal kernel. | 14:23 |
| jrib | abelabel: /join #ubuntustudio | 14:23 |
| ubuntu | Could I use "SAMSUNG SpinPoint S166 160GB SATA2 8MB 7200RPM" in a HP Pavilion dv6386eu laptop? | 14:24 |
| ubuntu | 2,5" or 3,5"? | 14:24 |
| abelabel | jrib, will do | 14:24 |
| wbadger | JaCib, Hi, I'm back and unfortunately your suggestion didn't work.. Do you have any other ideas by any chance? | 14:24 |
| Elijah | danbhfive, so I can just delete these entries from the menu.lst in grub? Are you saying I should also uninstall the kernals? | 14:24 |
| Xpistos | Hi everyone! Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default? | 14:24 |
| kestrel | yrjokin:look at System >> Administration >> System Monitor | 14:24 |
| JaCib | wbadger: And still just a freezing screen? | 14:25 |
| yrjokin | okay - ty | 14:25 |
| Raiders32 | jrib: how do I paste? cut in terminal and paste here? | 14:25 |
| wbadger | JaCib, exactly the same as before.. it says "starting up" and freezes there | 14:25 |
| jrib | Raiders32: sure, it's only one line | 14:25 |
| Raiders32 | jrib: troy@gw01:~$ | 14:25 |
| Raiders32 | troy@gw01:~$ ls -ld ~/.wine | 14:25 |
| Raiders32 | drwxr-xr-x 4 troy troy 4096 2008-06-21 09:18 /home/troy/.wine | 14:25 |
| Raiders32 | troy@gw01:~$ | 14:25 |
| Elijah | how do I save the menu.lst file it says I don't have permission | 14:26 |
| the-herby_ | what can i do if gnome does not respond to any action? not even the restart of X is working in that case. | 14:26 |
| jrib | Elijah: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:26 |
| Elijah | jrib, does that mean i ahve to use a terminal window? | 14:26 |
| jrib | the-herby_: raise skinny elephants (google this) | 14:26 |
| jrib | Elijah: yes, but your editor will be gui | 14:26 |
| jrib | the-herby_: well, first, try ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty. ctrl-alt-f7 brings you back | 14:27 |
| the-herby_ | the ctrl-alt-fN does not work | 14:27 |
| Elijah | jrib, thanks, i noticed there is terminal and gnome-terminal, are they the same program? | 14:27 |
| jrib | Elijah: by default, yes | 14:27 |
| Flynsarmy | danbhfive, Supertux2 but it also happens on jedi academy2 in wine so it's not just the one game | 14:28 |
| mnemo | how can I see what files were added to my system when I installed a certain package?? | 14:28 |
| Flynsarmy | danbhfive, The problem is that the sounds work for a little whiel of being logged on, but after i quit the game and start it up again later the sound doesn' towrk | 14:28 |
| jrib | Raiders32: strange behavior then. Try #winehq maybe | 14:28 |
| Elijah | jrib, wait, terminal does not work | 14:28 |
| Raiders32 | jrib: thanks | 14:28 |
| jrib | mnemo: dpkg -L PACKAGE or some gui option in Synaptic if you prefer | 14:28 |
| jrib | Elijah: be more specific... | 14:28 |
| Elijah | the black screen one, what is that one | 14:28 |
| Elijah | terminal | 14:28 |
| Elijah | gnome-terminal = black background | 14:29 |
| mnemo | jrib: thanks, that's exactly what I needed | 14:29 |
| Elijah | i mean white | 14:29 |
| esteth | Does anyone know of a tool similar to T-Search but for linux? | 14:29 |
| cs02rm0 | how can i find the /dev/ reference to a USB device i've plugged in? | 14:29 |
| JaCib | wbagder: I'm sorry, but i cannot help you :( | 14:29 |
| jrib | Elijah: I don't understand what you are asking. The colors are completely customizable | 14:29 |
| Tux2K8 | I have many files named X.part01.rar , X.part02.rar ... etc... how do I extract all of them using unarar?????????? | 14:29 |
| jrib | esteth: explain what T-Search does | 14:29 |
| Elijah | jrib, when you open the terminal in alt+f2 what command do you put in box | 14:29 |
| jrib | Tux2K8: extract the first one | 14:30 |
| esteth | jrib: Ok | 14:30 |
| wbadger | JaCib, thank you very much for your help.. I'll try other things. | 14:30 |
| rsk | Tux2K8: unrar x part00.rar | 14:30 |
| yrjokin | kestrel: DIL: & rsk: thank you | 14:30 |
| jrib | Elijah: gnome-terminal. But just use the menu item: Accessories -> Terminal | 14:30 |
| tjea | Hi all | 14:30 |
| Tux2K8 | COOL! it works..thanks | 14:30 |
| esteth | Does anyone know of a program capable of "hacking" processes by searching through their memory for values, and allowing you to lock them / change them | 14:30 |
| jrib | esteth: a debugger? gdb maybe? | 14:31 |
| Dante123 | hi all, my son was playing COD2 under wine on this computer...and ever since then...the fonts are kind of messed up. I don't know if he got into changing them too...but they are not as crisp and clean as they were before. Any advice or thoughts on what may have happened? Also what are the default fonts and sizes for ubuntu upon regular install? | 14:31 |
| choudesh | esteth, gdb | 14:31 |
| Elijah | jrib, thanks for that tip - i saw a black screen terminal once in this learning curve a while back, i was just wondering what the name of that was | 14:31 |
| esteth | jrib / Choudesh: Thanks, i'll look at that :) | 14:31 |
| jrib | Elijah: right click -> edit current profile. You can make it whatever color you want | 14:31 |
| s_spiff | guys how do i disable preview for sound files??? | 14:31 |
| tjea | I have set up pop email with evolution, but it deleted my mail from my old inbox. How do I get the maill back into both inboxes, old and new | 14:32 |
| jrib | s_spiff: edit -> preferences -> preview | 14:32 |
| Elijah | jrib, ok, thanks i just thought it was a different app since i had the white one and black one open at the same time and never changed anything | 14:32 |
| s_spiff | jrib: thank you! | 14:32 |
| golb23 | is it possible to use .ico (icon) in ubuntu or do I need to convert it somehow? | 14:33 |
| Dante123 | What is the default application font, document font, display font, etc. | 14:33 |
| jrib | Elijah: probably. But you can also have multiple profiles. The other big terminal emulators are konsole, xterm, urxvt | 14:33 |
| tjea | I have set up pop email with evolution, but it deleted my mail from my old inbox. How do I get the maill back into both inboxes, old and new | 14:33 |
| jrib | Dante123: system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts | 14:33 |
| Elijah | jrib, it was xterm!!! Thanks | 14:33 |
| Dante123 | yes, I am their jrib but would like to know what the default ones are because I think he switched them | 14:33 |
| jrib | Dante123: create a new user and check | 14:34 |
| tjea | please | 14:34 |
| Dante123 | okay | 14:34 |
| * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc? | 14:36 | |
| Elijah | So know that I know how to edit and save the menu.lst file, i want to remove all the old kernal options from my boot loader, is it necessary to remove the actual kernels too? | 14:37 |
| Elijah | What would you do? | 14:37 |
| Knightly88 | Anyone know how I cal tell if I can setup my NVIDIA GeForce 6100 card to the screen resolution 1400x900? | 14:37 |
| wols_ | Elijah: no you can keep them | 14:37 |
| jrib | Elijah: no, but if you do remove the old kernels, they will update the menu.lst for you | 14:37 |
| choudesh | Elijah, no it isn't necessary. But if you want to save space - then remove them. | 14:37 |
| wols_ | Knightly88: what drivers? | 14:37 |
| ThRixXx | Hey people, how much faster is xubuntu compared to ubuntu ? | 14:37 |
| choudesh | heh. I am slow this morning. ;-) | 14:37 |
| * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?pls prv me ca e urgent | 14:38 | |
| wols_ | ThRixXx: depends on your RAM | 14:38 |
| jrib | Elijah: I would remove all my old linux-image-VERSION except for the last two | 14:38 |
| Elijah | i don't want the old kernels then, so if i remove them it auto maticlaly updates them? Is this where the term automagically is used that I keep hearing | 14:38 |
| wols_ | Knightly88: don't PM people. have a nice day | 14:38 |
| Elijah | i read automagic in the menu.lst | 14:38 |
| jrib | Elijah: probably | 14:38 |
| ThRixXx | wel there is a computer lying at my house with 512 ran, 2.4ghz celeron | 14:38 |
| wols_ | Elijah: you remove them wiht apt-get or synaptic, then yes | 14:38 |
| wols_ | ThRixXx: bot ubuntu and xubuntu would work fine | 14:38 |
| ThRixXx | but if i install xubuntu wil i feel a huge diff ? | 14:39 |
| Zanth_88 | mostly the gui | 14:39 |
| Elijah | and i just search for "kernel" in synaptic? | 14:39 |
| Zanth_88 | Xubuntu uses the Xfce interface, which is made to run on slower and older machines | 14:39 |
| Elijah | jrib, What do you mean by last 2? | 14:40 |
| cdavis | I want tomboy to start at startup but only in notification area, how do I keep it from opening the foreground upon startup? | 14:40 |
| Elijah | jrib, last 2 kernels or options | 14:40 |
| Knightly88 | k... I have the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 drivers installed and currently a screen rez of 1280x1024... just wondering if I can make it bigger... even though it doesn't show it under the main screen rez options... | 14:40 |
| jrib | Elijah: kernels | 14:40 |
| Elijah | jrib, so you have a total of 3 kernels at all times | 14:40 |
| Zanth_88 | ThRixXx: maybe it looks a bit simpler, but with the comp you specified, you could easily try and install Ubuntu on it with the GNOME interface. | 14:40 |
| Elijah | jrib, or just the most recent 2 | 14:41 |
| jrib | Elijah: nah, just the current one and the last old one | 14:41 |
| Jane_ | Hey | 14:41 |
| jrib | Elijah: no problem in keeping 3 if you want | 14:41 |
| ben | hey | 14:41 |
| ThRixXx | ok cool, so im just gonna install ubuntu then ill aptget xubuntu try both :D | 14:42 |
| ThRixXx | tx | 14:42 |
| Jane_ | I have a video that I'd like to compress. The data rate is 6MBPS and I'd like to make it 3MBPS, how do I do this in Ubuntu? | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Daenyth Family friendly language please | 14:42 |
| Elijah | Zanth_88, I installed xubuntu a sa virtual machine in virtual box a while back, it's user inetrface is different, if you are just learning ubuntu like me then you can get away with ubuntu on that hardware, I would stick with it | 14:42 |
| byte_slave | hello all! | 14:42 |
| byte_slave | which option is the best for backuping serveral machines? client machines PUT fils in remote backup machines or backup server machines GET files from client machines? | 14:42 |
| Knightly88 | wols: can you manually change the screen rez to something bigger even if it's not showing a bigger screen rez on the screen rez options screen? | 14:42 |
| saint-takeshi | is there a man page on APIC/ACPI boot parameters? | 14:42 |
| Zanth_88 | Elijah: I'm running Kubuntu myself | 14:42 |
| Zanth_88 | as a host OS | 14:43 |
| Elijah | jrib, ok, thanks, so do you then also keep current and last version in boot loader right? You also keep the recovery mode options too? | 14:43 |
| pencinta | hai..............??? | 14:43 |
| mib | hi again: i have this problem, The source seems encrypted and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss? | 14:43 |
| jrib | Elijah: yes | 14:43 |
| mib | this is when i put the dvd again | 14:43 |
| wols_ | !dvd | 14:43 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 14:43 |

| Elijah | Zanth_88, I see, so maybe you are familiar with the way different things work, I am going to get comfy with ubuntu forst | 14:44 |
| Zanth_88 | Elijah, I don't know. I only used GNOME and KDE | 14:44 |
| benjimbo | ! | 14:44 |
| Zanth_88 | but not Xfce | 14:44 |

| Elijah | Zanth_88, well, you learned those so I would think another would be easy for you | 14:44 |
| byte_slave | DIL, i mean i tried to make a backup server and i used some applications available but it seems to me, that using backup server machine to GET files via SMB for example are very very slow even with a 1GB ethernet link | 14:45 |
| Zanth_88 | ehh, i've been using KDE for about 3 months now. used GNOME for about a whole year before that, but i'm pondering going back to GNOME | 14:45 |
| Xpistos | Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default? | 14:45 |
| PeaceMakr | stayaway from enlightment, still very buggy | 14:45 |
| * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?pls prv me ca e urgent | 14:45 | |
| pencinta | hay ayo gentu yuk.................... | 14:46 |
| Zanth_88 | but i won't use xfce because my comp can easily handle both GNOME and KDE too :) | 14:46 |
| mib | i have this sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found | 14:46 |
| Zanth_88 | and i don't bother with other window managers like enlightment | 14:46 |
| mib | ive got the latest libdvdread3 already | 14:46 |
| mib | when i follow the second step..activating DVD decryption | 14:46 |
| Elijah | jrib, How would I use apt-get to "remove" a kernel, it only says it is for downloading and installing packages | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | Elijah: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 14:46 |
| wols_ | Elijah: man apt-get and you will see | 14:46 |
| VSpike | On 8.04, I can't start X because nvidia driver can't load the kernel module... how do I find the problem? | 14:46 |
| Elijah | argh | 14:47 |
| byte_slave | DIL, understando for "Backup server" a dedicated machine not in the same building just to have a copy of the stuff of the working server | 14:47 |
| DIL | byte_slave: generally ist time is ver slow but if you configure for incremental backups it should get better | 14:47 |
| wols_ | VSpike: find if you have the kernel driver installed and then if it's loaded | 14:47 |
| Elijah | my gnome-terminal is like flickering, how do i stop it | 14:47 |
| Elijah | it is like glitching every .5 seconds | 14:47 |
| Elijah | doesn't happen unless it is maximized | 14:47 |
| saint-takeshi | Zanth_88: yeah, with a "decent" spec PC, the performance increase with xfce isn't worth the hassle of getting used to the interface | 14:47 |
| byte_slave | DIL, sure but for example you think is normal a machine take 12hours to backup only 5GB of information via SMB? | 14:48 |
| Elijah | saint-takeshi, glad you said that | 14:48 |
| jrib | Elijah: aptitude search '~nlinux-image~i' To find the packages that are installed with 'linux-image' in the name. Then just, 'sudo aptitude purge PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 ...' | 14:48 |
| mib | still having same error message | 14:48 |
| PeaceMakr | Elijah, you mean to edit grub? | 14:48 |
| Zanth_88 | saint-takeshi: i have an AMD 1.6 GhZ machine with 640MB DDRAM and an NVidia GeForce 6200 card | 14:48 |
| VSpike | wols_: Which package do I need to look for? | 14:48 |
| DIL | byte_slave: i see | 14:48 |
| Zanth_88 | so it runs smooth | 14:48 |
| byte_slave | DIL, i tried backuppc, backup-restore from holonix | 14:48 |
| DIL | byte_slave: not fam | 14:49 |
| VSpike | wols_: running 2.6.24-18-generic | 14:49 |
| byte_slave | DIL, what you use as your backup strategy? client and server | 14:49 |
| mib | anyone could give me any hints | 14:49 |
| Elijah | jrib, I will try that | 14:49 |
| wols_ | VSpike: for nvidia packages | 14:49 |
| pepparkaka | Any solution to getting that damn flash-plugin to stop segfaulting my browsers every time I close a tab with some flash object in it ? | 14:49 |
| DIL | byte_slave: if that is what you have let it run | 14:50 |
| wols_ | !medibuntu | mib | 14:50 |
| ubottu | mib: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 14:50 |
| Knightly88 | how can I tell what my "max screen resolution" is? | 14:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | mib, that path to the command has changed. and the howtos are not up to date. use the locate command to find the proper path is wha ti did befor | 14:50 |
| DIL | byte_slave: i hvae back ups to server then to tapes | 14:50 |
| mib | Dr willis: i check again | 14:51 |
| byte_slave | DIL, rsync ? | 14:51 |
| VSpike | wols_: there are a lot of packages with the word nvidia in them, and a lot with linux-restricted in them ... some are installed and some are not. Which specific ones do I need? | 14:51 |
| mib | and its on sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 14:51 |
| mib | when i run that..it said ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 14:51 |
| wols_ | VSpike: the one with nvidia.ko in it | 14:51 |

| === hi is now known as Guest25602 | ||
| Elijah | jrib, I did a ---> aptitude search '~nlinux-image~i' in gnome-terminal and nothing happens | 14:54 |
| wols_ | mib: you only restart if the kernel has changed or new hardware is installed | 14:54 |
| wols_ | dpkg -l |grep linux-image |grep ^ii | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | Elijah: aptitude search linux-image | grep '^i' | 14:54 |
| jrib | Elijah: hard to believe, since that would mean you have no kernel installed, try what wols_ just said | 14:54 |
| mib | wols: do i need to install Xine? | 14:55 |
| mib | or that is enough? | 14:55 |
| wols_ | you need a video playre to play any video... | 14:55 |
| Elijah | well, i did the gksudo gedit /boot...... first and then the second line was blank, so i entered it on the blank line | 14:55 |
| Elijah | it doesn't have the user name to strat off the line | 14:56 |
| mib | totem isnt a video player? | 14:56 |

| the-herby_ | what's the procedure to run fsck on the root filesystem? | 14:56 |
| wols_ | the-herby_: sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis_ | the-herby_, i tend to boot a live cd to check them. Theres also a way you can make it auto check on the next reboot. | 14:56 |
| jrib | Elijah: ctrl-c. This means you didn't close the quotes properly before in the previous command | 14:56 |
| wols_ | or, remount / ro and fsck it | 14:57 |
| Dr_Willis_ | the-herby_, thats what the forcefsck does. :) | 14:57 |
| cdavis | How can I select the first 7 characters of a field with a mysql query? | 14:57 |
| Elijah | hmm, when i hit reset and clear in terminal it gives me a blank terminal, i cannot even sude m y menu.lst anymore | 14:57 |
| wols_ | cdavis: #mysql | 14:57 |
| Elijah | i can't run any commands now | 14:57 |
| ianagui | someone could help me in an issue related to: ubuntu-server, port-forwarding, apache (basic).... | 14:57 |
| jrib | cdavis: try: /join #mysql | 14:57 |
| wols_ | Elijah: open antoerh xterm | 14:57 |
| jrib | Elijah: did you hit ctrl-c? | 14:57 |
| the-herby_ | i will try that. i had a forced check, but it said there was an error code 3 and fsck failed. i guess i might have to run fsck manually from a live cd then. | 14:58 |
| pencinta | killer angel | 14:58 |
| Elijah | jrib, now i did, sorry didn't get that at first | 14:58 |
| Elijah | thanks so much! | 14:58 |
| Elijah | I remember having that problem in the past | 14:58 |
| jrib | Elijah: you entered the original command either with too many quotes or not enough | 14:58 |
| Elijah | whay does it do that because i didn't close quotes? | 14:58 |
| Elijah | interesting | 14:59 |
| jrib | Elijah: it expects you to continue the input until you close the quotes | 14:59 |
| pencinta | hfgkkgkf | 14:59 |
| ianagui | got a broadband connection(cable): ISP modem connected to DI-604 router where i got a desktop ubuntu and a server... | 14:59 |
| Elijah | jrib, that makes sense now | 14:59 |
| Elijah | jrib, what techincally does ctrl+c do? | 14:59 |
| Elijah | close quotes? | 14:59 |

| Estesark | Hi. I dual-boot Ubuntu and WinXP, and share many files between them. In my music collection I have a number of files with the question mark character (?) in them. Ubuntu/Rhythmbox can play these fine, but Windows/Winamp cannot. It'd be great for me to be able to search for all files that contain a question mark in their name so I can rename them easily, but that doesn't seem to work in the default Ubuntu Gnome search app, or Tracker (perhaps beca | 15:00 |
| Elijah | thanks jrib and starnes | 15:00 |
| ianagui | configured static dhcp for the server and port forwarding for http/https... | 15:00 |
| Freeman551 | im having problems on my laptop, after resuming from suspend the wireless wont connect | 15:01 |
| ianagui | acessing port 80 on server through desktop works... externally (via external IP) does not work.... | 15:01 |
| Elijah | jrib, ok, now your original command works | 15:01 |
| ianagui | someone? | 15:01 |
| Timoteo | ianagui it looks like a router configuration trouble | 15:01 |
| Elijah | it says i have 4 kernels installed | 15:02 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: could you help ? | 15:02 |
| Timoteo | ianagui do you speak spanish? | 15:02 |
| Elijah | one being a "Linux-image-generic", do i need that one too? | 15:02 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: portugese and english... | 15:02 |
| Timoteo | ianagui OK, i'll try in english, but it's not very good :-) | 15:03 |
| pencinta | hai besfren | 15:03 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: no problem... | 15:03 |
| Timoteo | ianagui Do you have a P2P program like eMule or BitTorrent configured on your PC? | 15:03 |
| jrib | Elijah: yes, that one ensures you get the latest kernel when you update | 15:03 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: amule | 15:03 |
| Timoteo | ianagui Did you need to access 192.168.1.1? | 15:04 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: whats this address for? | 15:04 |
| Elijah | jrib, gotcha | 15:05 |
| VSpike | Why would the nvidia kernel module get broken after a kernel update? I thought that stuff didn't happen any more | 15:05 |
| Timoteo | ianagui Typing that IP on your desktop browser you will access to your router configuration (I think you've got a router, not a modem) | 15:05 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: my routers admin is 198.162.0.1 | 15:05 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: have already config static DHCP for ubuntu server there... | 15:06 |
| Elijah | what does the i do after '~nlinux-image~i' also why the n before linux | 15:06 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: ...and port forwarded apache ports 80 and 443 | 15:06 |
| Timoteo | ianagui OK, that was the solution that I was going to give | 15:06 |
| Timoteo | ianagui Do you have Hardy or Gutsy, or another? | 15:06 |
| VSpike | erUSUL: would the command be "sudo apt-file search nvidia.ko"? | 15:07 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: desktop is 8.04... | 15:07 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: server too | 15:07 |
| Timoteo | ianagui and server? | 15:07 |
| Ad84 | has any one got the time to teach me some basics of the terminal? | 15:07 |
| insurin | Should I install anti virus software on my ubuntu box? | 15:07 |
| howlingmadhowie | insurin: only if you're sharing files with windows computers | 15:08 |
| Timoteo | insurin It's not really necesary, but there is a Linux AVG. | 15:08 |
| VSpike | Ad84: there are some good beginners guides online | 15:08 |
| incorrect | has anyone got n-node replication working with slapd in hardy? | 15:08 |
| s_spiff | Ad84 there are several howto/tutorials out there on www. teaching someone even basics of the bash is a long tiresome process. instead ask around the command for a specific purpose, will be faster. :) | 15:08 |
| insurin | ok thanks, | 15:08 |
| Ad84 | links | 15:08 |
| Timoteo | ianagui Please check the firewall's conf on server and desktop | 15:09 |

| freethinker | how can i change permissions to write on ubuntu? | 15:10 |
| Ad84 | yes pls:) | 15:10 |
| Timoteo | freethinker chmod | 15:10 |
| freethinker | going to try that | 15:11 |
| Timoteo | ianagui I think that this doc is going to help you: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ufw-uncomplicated-firewall-for-ubuntu-hardy.html | 15:11 |
| freethinker | nothing | 15:11 |
| Timoteo | freethinker sudo chmod? | 15:11 |
| yvonuk | Hi there, a network question: I have two Ubuntu boxes (both 8.04) in different networks and they can talk to each other with openvpn. The problem is the client cannot visit server's subnet. I've added the server's subnet to route on client side and added iptables on server side using "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE", but still no avail. Anyone can help? | 15:11 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: so i think ... no firewall... | 15:12 |
| Bananmos | could anyone here give me an explanation on how X configuration really works in Ubuntu? I tried to enable SHMConfig in the xorg.conf file in order to run gsynaptics. Before doing so, I backed up my xorg.conf. Apparantly, adding the SHMConfig line crashed my X configuration so it reverted to low-res mode. And when I restored my old xorg.conf, it *still* only boots in low-res. :/ | 15:12 |

| freethinker | can you say to mee something more simple please | 15:13 |
| Timoteo | ianagui On Hardy the firewall is ON by default; if you've tourned off manually I don't know | 15:13 |
| rt73-ubuntu8 | as an ubuntu 8.04 stock kernel 2.6.24-19 user shall i follow the instructions on http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=mac80211&DokuWiki=195591fca1efeaf6cce567b4593a4111 ??? | 15:13 |
| Timoteo | freethinker What files do you need to chmod? | 15:13 |
| freethinker | some photos | 15:13 |
| Timoteo | freethinker If you've created the files you can do this: | 15:14 |
| wols_ | VSpike: the nvidia.ko file needs to be on your DISK not in a ubuntu repo. how did you install the nvidia drivers? | 15:14 |
| Timoteo | freethinker Gnome, KDE or XFCE? | 15:14 |
| freethinker | gnome | 15:14 |
| Elijah | i just tried removing an old kernal, it says i must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem | 15:14 |
| Elijah | oh first it said, dpkg was interrupted | 15:14 |
| andyca1 | how to search manpages, ive tried "/keyword" but that results in "pattern not found". Am i missing something= | 15:14 |
| Timoteo | freethinker OK, on the folder where your photos are located, select all (Ctrl+A, I think), and right-click on one of the photos. | 15:15 |
| VSpike | wols_: i am trying to find which package provides it to check if i have that package installed | 15:15 |
| VSpike | wols_: restricted manager | 15:15 |
| Timoteo | freethinker A Nautilus window will be open, and inside it a "Permissions" tab (or something similar) | 15:15 |
| VSpike | wols_: they worked fine before kernel update | 15:15 |
| Timoteo | freethinker Click on it, and select the options that you need. | 15:15 |
| VSpike | wols_: this is basically a clean install of 8.04 | 15:15 |
| sanity | rt73-ubuntu8: You trying to get arp traffic injection to work? | 15:16 |
| wols_ | dpkg -l |grep nvidia | 15:16 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: since i installed ubuntu-server with lamp it should by default allow for external traffic on port 80 (apache). Is it allright? | 15:16 |
| VSpike | wols_: nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common | 15:16 |
| Timoteo | ianagui Then I don't know... Sorry. But you can try opening the ports on the firewall... | 15:17 |
| Elijah | wols_, was that at me? | 15:17 |
| ianagui | Timoteo: ok thanks. | 15:17 |

| Xpistos | I need some help with something that is driving me nuts: Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default? | 15:18 |
| freethinker | the problem is that i cant copy to another partition | 15:18 |
| Timoteo | ok | 15:18 |
| freethinker | i want to copy the files from sda3/ to sda4/ | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freethinker you can do a dd copy | 15:19 |
| trippss | I've lost my battery meter up in the right hand corner on hardy heron using gnome. how do I restore it? | 15:19 |
| freethinker | but got no permission to do that | 15:19 |
| jrib | freethinker: what filesystem is on sda4? | 15:19 |
| Elijah | jrib, i ran sudo aptitude purge linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic, however, the first 2 times i missed generic and then image respectively, it did a bunch of stuff and said evolution was broken, blah blah do you accept this answer | 15:19 |
| freethinker | i can copy but not to sda4 | 15:19 |
| Timoteo | trippss Right--click on the panel, Add to panel... | 15:20 |
| freethinker | none just files | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freethinker or are you talking just some files not cloning the partition | 15:20 |
| Elijah | jrib, i said no a few times and then hit ctrl+c and started ovr | 15:20 |
| Unimatrix9 | files, just burn them to dvd? | 15:20 |
| Timoteo | trippss Look for the battery meter, and drag it to the right place | 15:20 |
| freethinker | some files | 15:20 |
| andyca1 | How to search manpages. /keyword doesnt seem to work, it gives me pattern not found while the word is there!! | 15:20 |
| jrib | Elijah: those errors are unrelated to you removing the kernels. You need to resolve them first. Did it not ask you to run dpkg --configure -a? | 15:20 |
| Starnestommy | andyca1: / is for searching forwards. Backwards searches use ? | 15:21 |
| Timoteo | freethinker Have you tried sudo chmod? | 15:21 |
| Elijah | jrib, yes | 15:21 |
| trippss | Timoteo, I can never do that; right clicking always gets an existing icon with remove from panel. where can you click to avoid what's there | 15:21 |
| jrib | andyca1: it's case sensitive | 15:21 |
| Unimatrix9 | is there an way on the gui to set wireless speed ? for example 11 mbns | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | freethinker First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and typing cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to v | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erify the permissions are set | 15:21 |
| jrib | Elijah: pastebin the errors you get and the command you run | 15:21 |
| Elijah | jrib, should i run that command for dpkg | 15:21 |
| freethinker | yes but nothing i could understand | 15:21 |
| jrib | Elijah: yes | 15:21 |
| Elijah | pastebin? | 15:21 |
| wols_ | VSpike: there should be a nvidia-kernel package. for example there is nvidia-kernel-source but with it you had to compile your own mdoule from it. | 15:21 |
| jrib | !pastebin > Elijah (read the private message from ubottu) | 15:22 |
| freethinker | what about on menu sytem - adiminstration-autorizations | 15:22 |
| Timoteo | trippss Right-click on a free place on the panel, not over an element (like the clock or another icon) | 15:22 |
| sinan | Anyone has an any idea what the "load" parameter in System Monitor actually reflects? | 15:22 |
| freethinker | i have tried in the pass change this | 15:22 |
| wols_ | sinan: mostly rubbish | 15:22 |
| trippss | Timoteo, the panel is tightly compacted and there is no space other than the elements. | 15:22 |
| freethinker | but still the same | 15:22 |
| jimmygoon | Should I install icedtea or sun java 7? | 15:22 |
| sinan | wols_: lol. Any equation for this rubbish ? :P | 15:22 |
| wols_ | jimmygoon: right, now, sun's | 15:22 |
| jrib | jimmygoon: install the one you want. | 15:23 |
| Elijah | jrib, sweet! It is on a seperate computer, the ubuntu doesn't work with my sprint usb modem and i can't get internet connection sharing with this vista laptop so it doesn't have any internnet | 15:23 |
| wols_ | sinan: in the uptime source probably | 15:23 |
| Elijah | jrib, after i get booot menu fixed i hope to at least enable ics | 15:23 |
| trippss | Timoteo, everything's locked too. do I need to unlock like 5 icons, move them to the left in order to insert an icon and then move them back and lock them? I've always thought this behavior was clunky | 15:23 |

| trippss | please someone explain the notification panel. it seems to me it behaves differently than the regular panel. i.e., when I unlock the divider and move it, all the icons locked to that panel move with it. how to I specifically add a notification icon to _that_ panel and not the regular panel? | 15:28 |
| Unimatrix9 | is RTS thr:off , the wireless setting for throttle the network speed? | 15:28 |
| runemaste644 | for some reason my Internet doesnt want to work today | 15:29 |
| freethinker | i couldnt made that | 15:29 |
| orphean | trippss: the notification panel is somewhat like the system tray in windows. applications add their own icons to it. | 15:29 |
| trippss | orphean, right. how do I add or tie an icon to _that_panel? | 15:29 |
| runemaste644 | how can I fix it | 15:29 |
| orphean | trippss: if you want a particular application to show up there while it's running and it doesn't you can use things like 'alltray' to put it there. | 15:29 |
| freethinker | can you teel me a easiest way to do it? | 15:30 |
| orphean | trippss: but it'll only show up while its running... its not going to stick around | 15:30 |

| peter86 | hello, my sound doesnt work | 15:31 |
| freethinker | anyone ....please | 15:31 |
| VSpike | wols_: it means it doesn't contain anything - it's satisfied by another package | 15:31 |
| caldo_de_cana | peter86: are your speakers plugged in? | 15:31 |
| orphean | trippss: Afaik, its never been there on any ubuntu i've used, ever. | 15:31 |

| peter86 | caldo_de_cana, good to hear that :) | 15:32 |
| caldo_de_cana | peter86: that means: give us more info | 15:32 |

| Unimatrix9 | foools : what kind of pc is it? | 15:38 |
| sanity | lee__: Yes a while ago on my Zaurus (linux pda) | 15:38 |
| jrib | freethinker: feel free to ask for more details if you aren't sure of what you need to do after reading that wiki page | 15:38 |
| foool | unimatrix9 how long wait | 15:39 |
| freethinker | ok | 15:39 |
| Unimatrix9 | foool , it takes a while, becuase of the error, ... | 15:39 |
| freethinker | no i have go away but later i will read | 15:39 |
| foool | it is a median with a 80gig HD (year old) | 15:39 |
| VSpike | wols_: that was modprobe, which calls install /sbin/lrm_vidio nvidia_new | 15:39 |
| Unimatrix9 | foool. what the pc, ah a medion? | 15:40 |
| foool | i will try it and get back to you | 15:40 |
| wols_ | VSpike: is this envy? | 15:40 |
| VSpike | wols_: no | 15:40 |
| VSpike | wols_: looks like i was bitten by Bug #198622. "sudo depmod" fixes the problem | 15:40 |
| wols_ | then they shis lrm_ binary thing? | 15:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 198622 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 "nvidia_new fails to load" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/198622 | 15:40 |
| Unimatrix9 | foool, no usb devices connected ? | 15:40 |
| VSpike | wols_: it's the output of "modprobe -v" | 15:41 |
| foool | nothing - mouse keyboard monitor thats it | 15:41 |
| Cheesypieces | guys, how do i make it so that when i add/remove a program through synaptic its is automatically added/removed from the main menu? | 15:41 |
| VSpike | wols_: but it's solved - it's just a broken update caused by an ubuntu bug | 15:41 |
| Stormx2 | Cheesypieces: That happens anyway | 15:41 |
| VSpike | wols_: thanks again | 15:41 |
| Unimatrix9 | foool , how many drives connected? | 15:41 |
| lee__ | please has anybody experience doing opengl graphics programming through SDL?? | 15:41 |
| wols_ | still don't get that lrm thing | 15:41 |
| katya^^ | lee: have you tried in #sdl ? :p | 15:41 |
| wols_ | lee__: wrong channel. go into aSDL channel | 15:41 |
| lee__ | cheers | 15:41 |
| foool | one HD 2 partitions | 15:42 |
| Cheesypieces | Stormx2: not for me it doesn't, any idea how i can switch this function back on? | 15:42 |
| Unimatrix9 | ok | 15:42 |
| foool | back soon | 15:42 |
| Stormx2 | Cheesypieces: There's no way of switching it off. Some apps won't add themselves, some will | 15:42 |
| Stormx2 | depends on the app. | 15:42 |
| yaohuan | anbody? | 15:43 |
| Cheesypieces | Stormx2: none of my apps do it - its very frustrating! | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | all the app does i belive is create a ITEM.desktop file in the right dir . to get added to the menus | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gnome and kde sometimes fails to notice the newly added .desktop file. | 15:43 |
| Stormx2 | Really? | 15:43 |
| Stormx2 | :/ | 15:43 |
| Unimatrix9 | foools : boot with the cdrom, at the first screen , where you choose language hit f6 | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I belive the freedesktop.org site has details on the .desktop file format | 15:44 |
| Stormx2 | Cheesypieces, tried logging out and back in? | 15:44 |

| elementz | how do i find the correct values for plugwh? in my audiosettings/ alsa setup? | 15:45 |

| Stormx2 | Cheesypieces: What apps have you tried installing? Some won't add themselves to the menu | 15:45 |
| velko | elementz, it represents your hardware (the sound card) in you gstreamer pipeline | 15:45 |
| * PLC cherche expert en chmod chown :D | 15:45 | |
| Unimatrix9 | foools try and see if that helps | 15:45 |
| elementz | velko, thx | 15:45 |
| PLC | oups | 15:45 |
| PLC | sorry | 15:45 |
| PLC | it's wrong channel :p | 15:46 |
| Unimatrix9 | foools , since you have an medion, i think there is also an option in the bios to trun off the boot from usb , wich is essentialy your usb card reader | 15:46 |
| elementz | velko, so, how do i find the correct configuration for avidemux? at the moment it has the following values under ALSA-Device: plughw:0,0 | 15:46 |
| Unimatrix9 | foools, you could also try to un connect the card reader from the motherboard, when the power is off, make sure you know how to connect it again, just to try if that might help | 15:47 |
| velko | elementz, i guess you don't have to correct it for avidemux. fire gstreamer-properties and correct the problem there | 15:47 |
| boris | hello. ive got crappy sound on ubuntu. a fix is to set ALSA PCM n front:0 in Volume control to three fourths, but it only works until reboot. help pls | 15:48 |

| Stormx2 | One moment. | 15:48 |
| Unimatrix9 | !sound | 15:48 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| ash7 | sometimes all the multimedia playback on my ubuntu stops, all i can see is video moving at 2 frames per second and no audio. restarting is the only way out. why does this happen? | 16:35 |
| polygon89 | colaser, try sudo apt-get install -f | 16:35 |
| ash7 | and how can i solve this ? | 16:35 |

| mib | i wanted to know how can i play my dvd using mplayer? | 16:36 |
| polygon89 | ash7, do you get direct rendering on your video card? | 16:36 |
| lopin | mib you need the Ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 16:36 |
| polygon89 | lopin, that doesnt include dvd playback... | 16:36 |
| jrib | mib: mplayer dvd://1 where 1 is whatever chapter you want (after you have installed dvdcss) | 16:36 |
| lopin | mib so you can decode the dvd. | 16:36 |
| lopin | polygon89: when did they take that out?! | 16:36 |

| WhoNeedszzz | yes | 17:05 |
| Reformer81 | joaopinto: Hmm... it's a network manager for linux... strange that he'd use that instead of the one that's supported. | 17:05 |

| Reformer81 | WhoNeedszzz: This is the Ubuntu support channel... many people here do not use XFCE and therefore you'd be better off asking in #xubuntu | 17:07 |

| winter-mute | i want to downgrade my X server to 1.3... i wonder how to do that | 17:08 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Reformer81: that would be true if the people in #xubuntu actually were paying attention and help | 17:08 |

| TurtleUrlte | it migt be too new | 17:10 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: use the binary from nvidia.com | 17:10 |
| TurtleUrlte | thatys a new card right? | 17:10 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: i have the 8600 gts working fine | 17:10 |
| P4n[t]3r | guys i got a problem I installed Envy and i clicked on xorg automaticly configure... then i restarted and then Xorg.conf had some problems and then the errors was : No screens found | 17:10 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, have you tried with nvidia-glx-new already ? | 17:10 |
| starbucks | WhoNeedszzz: But how do I use a binary im new? | 17:10 |
| WhoNeedszzz | P4n[t]3r: do yourself a favor and don't use that bloated program :) | 17:11 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: no problem | 17:11 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, you shoud not use the nvidia binary unless essentialy required | 17:11 |
| starbucks | joaopinto: No I don't think so | 17:11 |
| P4n[t]3r | ?^^ | 17:11 |
| P4n[t]3r | WhoNeedszzz what can i do now? | 17:11 |
| starbucks | joaopinto: Alright | 17:11 |
| c0mp13371331337 | joaopinto: What's wrong with the nvidia binaries? I'm using their beta drivers with no issues at all. | 17:11 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, System -> Admin -> Hardware drivers | 17:11 |
| HalphaZ | hello | 17:11 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: download the binary file, save it to your home directory, open a terminal, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, run the binary file as root, and viola | 17:12 |
| starbucks | joaopinto: Yup | 17:12 |
| HalphaZ | I've some bluetooth problems: hictool dev doesn't return plugged device | 17:12 |
| joaopinto | c0mp13371331337, it is recommended to use the repositories binaries because they have a broad range of testers, also they will get proper upgrades with the kernel upgrades | 17:12 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: do _not_ use the restricted drivers | 17:12 |
| subzero316 | my gnome panel turns white every time i switch from console to xwindow how do i fix this | 17:12 |
| starbucks | WhoNeedszzz: Ok well joao told me to use that as a last resource but thanks I will use that if I can't get it working this way..:) | 17:12 |
| starbucks | WhoNeedszzz: Argh lol howcome? | 17:12 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: don't | 17:12 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, if the regular restricted drivers do not work, you should try with the envi-ng drivers | 17:12 |
| joaopinto | WhoNeedszzz, why not ? | 17:12 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: it only causes problems with that card | 17:13 |
| starbucks | WhoNeedszzz: Oh alright | 17:13 |
| joaopinto | WhoNeedszzz, so just install envyng-gtk | 17:13 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: i went through a bunch of bull with that method. it is really easy to do the binary way | 17:13 |
| joaopinto | it will allow you to install a newer kernel | 17:13 |
| c0mp13371331337 | joaopinto: Ah, purely from a support standpoint. I've found the nvidia binaries out-perform the standard drivers in the repos. Plus they were much easier for me to set up. | 17:13 |
| starbucks | WhoNeedszzz: Alright thanks..where do I get the binary then sorry? | 17:13 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: nvidia.com, i'll get the exact link, one sec | 17:14 |

| winter-mute | anyone has problems with ATI 8.4 drivers on dual head? | 17:15 |
| WhoNeedszzz | starbucks: i have compiz-fusion installed and working perfectly | 17:15 |

| bobbob1016 | Can I encrypt my /home or / on an existing install? | 17:15 |

| starbucks | WhoNeedszzz: Oh ok...compix being the nice graphical stuff yes? | 17:16 |
| bobbob1016 | sanity, Try alt+f2 then enter gksu nautilus | 17:16 |

| Ali_ix | Elijah: ok, you should set your wired network to 'Roaming mode' or 'DHCP' | 17:34 |
| P4n[t]3r | ye | 17:34 |
| P4n[t]3r | but | 17:34 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: and by that you assume it "suck" because you cant make it work? | 17:34 |
| Neff2 | Hi people, I've a problem with ubuntu gutsy and gdm on an old laptop. Suddently GDM stopped working properly. When X server starts instead of the login screen I receive a brown screen with an error message written with squares.... If I click on the button of the message, GDM begin "looping". I can still login in gnome by killing gdm (sudo /etc/inid.d/gdm stop) and starting the xserver manually (startx). | 17:34 |
| Neff2 | I tried installing kdm and it works, but now I want to solve this problem (kdm doesn't unlock gnome-keyring and without gdm I cannot shut down my computer directly from GNOME). Sorry for my bad english and thank you for your help in advance | 17:34 |
| starbucks | how do I do this envy thing then please? | 17:34 |
| P4n[t]3r | Gohanx3 yes | 17:34 |
| P4n[t]3r | probably | 17:34 |
| Twili | Where do I get the partition editor? | 17:35 |
| bobbob1016 | Can I encrypt my /home or / on an existing install? The only directions I found were for either encrypting during a new install, or during for encrypting a file/non-system partition. | 17:35 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: the solution lies within the readme | 17:35 |
| Ali_ix | Twili: search gparted in synaptic | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | Twili, it should be available from System -> Admin -> Part Editor | 17:35 |

| starbucks | joaopinto: How do I use envy then please? | 17:35 |
| P4n[t]3r | and Xorg.conf comes again | 17:35 |
| P4n[t]3r | what i have to make? | 17:35 |
| P4n[t]3r | Yes or no | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, sudo apt-get install envy-gtk | 17:35 |
| ompaul | !envy | starbucks | 17:35 |
| ubottu | starbucks: 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. | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | ops | 17:35 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: you dont have to configure xorg | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk | 17:35 |
| P4n[t]3r | but i want play a game | 17:36 |
| P4n[t]3r | in linux | 17:36 |
| P4n[t]3r | so i dont need it? | 17:36 |
| P4n[t]3r | (xorg) | 17:36 |
| Elijah | Ali_ix, i set my wired connection to roaming and it greyed out the dhcp options. So at least that part is correct, would dns servers do anything, or default gateways? | 17:36 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: if you cant get past the boot screen, just go into envng core -t (text mode) remove driver and re-install voila a clean xorg | 17:36 |
| starbucks | joaopinto: Alright then | 17:36 |
| Abhorcosm | Can someone help me get videos working in firefox 3, ubuntu 8.04? | 17:36 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: of course you need it, but dont re-configure it after the install theres no point | 17:36 |
| starbucks | joaopinto: DO all these 'sudo' things go in the terminal? | 17:36 |
| Abhorcosm | I have just about every plugin already installed | 17:37 |
| joaopinto | starbucks, yes | 17:37 |
| P4n[t]3r | Gohanx3 so what to do ? | 17:37 |
| Ali_ix | Elijah: in roaming mode OS will try to find connection setting automatically, which means default gateway, dns and netmask | 17:37 |
| P4n[t]3r | install envy? | 17:37 |
| starbucks | joaopinto: Is it envyng or is that meant to be ing? | 17:37 |
| Abhorcosm | Anyone? | 17:37 |
| joaopinto | ng, for next generation | 17:37 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: install envyng (if you wish) if you cant get into your system, go into terminal and envyng core -t - remove driver, re-install if that doesnt work, just remove the driver completly | 17:37 |
| Gohanx3 | works for me | 17:37 |
| Elijah | Ali_ix, that makes sense, like if you are roaming to a bunch of computers! Brilliant name | 17:37 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: sorry I belive its envyng -t | 17:38 |
| P4n[t]3r | Gohanx3 im going to reinstall ubuntu | 17:38 |
| P4n[t]3r | thats why i ask | 17:38 |
| Gohanx3 | oh | 17:38 |
| Gohanx3 | P4n[t]3r: well if you run into any issues, you just remove the driver, you have full control in the text console | 17:38 |

| Elijah | it is in roaming mode | 17:44 |
| joaopinto | Elijah, you were already advised to ask on ##windows about the vista part which you dont know | 17:44 |
| Elijah | joaopinto, does this mean ubuntu just isn't receiving from vista | 17:45 |
| Ali_ix | Elijah: this means Vista isn't offering any service | 17:45 |
| joaopinto | Elijah, no, it means since you have no idea about how to do ICS from windows vista, you should ask there | 17:45 |
| Elijah | Ali_ix, thanks | 17:46 |

| DIL | how do i start zoneminder | 17:49 |
| uwe | hello, im trying to understand how package signing works, since i had a strange problem lately, i had my apt-get update poping a warning about not being able to authenticate packages, changing the repositories helps, just for 2 days, then the warning is back again, so how does it work? do i have the public key of ubuntu maintainers when installing ubuntu ? isnt it possible that a single unauthenticated package would change that key and afterwards ill be trusted | 17:49 |
| uwe | fake packages ? if this is the case, is it enough to make sure i have the correct public key by comparing it with someones else ubuntu installation and for example md5sum of apt-get ? | 17:49 |
| elTigre | joapinto: and even though flash blocks the sound, it can't play anything either | 17:49 |
| joaopinto | elTigre, some people report it is fixed by installing libflashsupport | 17:49 |
| Twili | joaopinto: How?' | 17:50 |
| Twili | I selected my device | 17:50 |
| Twili | then what do I click\ | 17:50 |
| Twili | Sorry I'm a n00b with this | 17:50 |
| Ali_ix | uwe: you may experiencing some network problems, packet loos for example, which corrups files and results unmaching keys. | 17:50 |
| joaopinto | uwe, it is possible, but very unlikey, it is more common for a repository to have a broken package, during synch | 17:50 |
| marek | Ali_ix: yeah, that's pinnin, but I want to completly ignore it | 17:50 |
| elTigre | I wonder why it was neccessary to truly mess up all sound support in the middle of a release cycle... | 17:51 |
| Ali_ix | uwe: make sure you use official repos | 17:51 |
| uwe | Ali_ix, i do | 17:51 |
| Ali_ix | marek: there is some HOLD functionality in aptitude and dpkg, but i am not sure if it completely ignores the package | 17:51 |

| uwe | Ali_ix, joaopinto , well, it happend 4 times in very short time, so , well , it might be the case of network problems ... but again, why would the signitures be broken during synch ? | 17:52 |
| benzss | what's the easiest way of running programs as root? is there a less intrusive way than opening terminal? | 17:52 |

| wild_oscar | I've got my totem player configured to Xine; when I try to open an mp3 when other audio programs are opened (amarok, firefox), however, Totem doesn't work | 18:26 |
| wild_oscar | any clue how to fix it? | 18:26 |
| cyzie | wols_, i build my own package and installed in my system. will my packages break the ubuntu upgrade? | 18:27 |
| wng- | private_meta: try the file ~/.supertux - you can disable opengl in there or edit settings | 18:27 |
| wols_ | cyzie: depends how you did it | 18:27 |
| cyzie | wols_, well, the upgrade is done using cli, sudo update-manager | 18:27 |

| wild_oscar | sound preferences are down at Stereo mode in totem | 18:28 |
| private_meta | wng-: i don't have that file | 18:28 |

| wild_oscar | wols_: It is opened in amarok, though, which also uses Xine | 18:33 |
| wols_ | private_meta: that's your problem: no 3D hardware support | 18:33 |
| private_meta | wols_: possibly because of the proprietary driver... | 18:33 |
| wols_ | wild_oscar: yes, amarok has the audio device open which is why xine can't open it | 18:33 |

| wild_oscar | wols_: this happens - understandibly - if I'm opening a 5.1 audio movie, for example; but firefox only occupies a stereo channel, so there's no reason for totem not to work | 18:35 |

However, after exiting and re-entering, the Earth won't load and neither iwll any tools | 18:36 |
| wols_ | racestoapril1: ask google. it's their software | 18:36 |
| wild_oscar | wols_: whatever. I don't know it, I was giving all the info. if you don't know the answer, don't reply like that | 18:37 |
| wols_ | I told you time and again. if you don't believe me, I see no reason to try to help you | 18:37 |
| racestoapril1 | wols_: I don't think it's a software issue exactly, I think it's an internet connection issue | 18:37 |

| ubottu | azexian: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 18:57 |
| azexian | racestoapril1: wols problem is that they do not want you to use root for that, gksu would be root, if you want to run gksu, that is the way, but running anything as root should be thought about | 18:57 |
| wols_ | racestoapril1: it is needed for some system adminning tasks. it is NOT needed and should not be used for noromal apps like google earht. instead: fix the real problem google earth has | 18:58 |
| * gway9000 did not know about gksu until told by JAck_sparrow | 18:58 | |
| azexian | wols_: please don't do that, I never suggested root | 18:58 |
| Hilikus | Flannel i dont have fqdn. should i just create it? | 18:58 |
| Flannel | Hilikus: Yes, you create that file | 18:58 |

| ottoshmidt | I'm unable to start Hardware Drivers in System>administration | 18:58 |
| wols_ | ottoshmidt: what drivers? | 18:58 |
| ottoshmidt | what can I do? | 18:58 |
| azexian | wols_: I didn't make him do anything, the first message of his I saw was him asking how to make a message box come up to run something as root, some things need it, gparted for example | 18:59 |
| racestoapril1 | Whatever, just trying to get my program to run. Probably gonna switch back to Windows, way too frustrating when you're new to this and don't have much support | 18:59 |

| azexian | racestoapril1: root is admin, it's unsafe to let any old program run as admin, as that means if the program is bad, it can access and delete everything, normal users can't destroy their own system | 19:00 |

| wols_ | stiv2k: the problem is you harrssing me when I told you what to do and stop otherwise | 19:16 |
| Dante123 | wols_ someone suggested pitivi but it won't import jpegs....kino does right? | 19:17 |
| Flannel | linux4ever: remastersys does appear to support Hardy. There's also UCK, and reconstructor (and probably others). None of which are sanctioned by Ubuntu | 19:17 |

| wols_ | !envy | 19:32 |
| ubottu | 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. | 19:32 |

| Snowie | how do i set a swap partition? | 19:33 |
| Flannel | !swap | Snowie | 19:33 |
| ubottu | Snowie: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 19:33 |

| Flannel | racestoapril1: Both of them? | 19:34 |
| wols_ | Flannel: of course not | 19:34 |
| Flannel | wols_: I know that. | 19:34 |
| racestoapril1 | One was a Bin file, one was package management. | 19:34 |
| wols_ | racestoapril1: we cannot know how to uninsztall the bin file. ask the people who gave you that file. via apt installed packages you can uninstall with apt-get remove <package> | 19:35 |
| wols_ | or synaptic or aptitude or lots of other ways | 19:35 |
| Flannel | racestoapril1: Alright, so... the bin file just dumps files into your system, so you have to manually remove them. I *believe* google earth plays nice and puts everything in /usr/local/ and actually, I think it puts everything in /usr/local/google/google-earth | 19:35 |
| hittingpilot | Can anyone help me with a setup in wine? i'm having trouble installing a game, because i can't get past the EULA screen | 19:35 |

I already tried to rebuild alsa drivers (I have intel-hda-sound, ICH8, Asus P5b-Plus mainboard), I run alsaconf and it detects my device, but it still don't play. Is there a solution to my case?

| wols_ | hittingpilot: usually vnc has no encryption | 19:37 |
| Flannel | Snowie: Logical partitions live inside an extended partition, you can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primaries with one extended. Inside the extended you can have as many logicals as you'd like. | 19:37 |

| mazyiar | hello everybody, I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general. I'm trying to set up file sharing on my ubuntu pc using samba, but have some problems. I'm in a university network, where Ip addresses are assigned using DHCP, so no static IP's, and most i want to share out files that windows pc's will be accessing. I also want to access windows shares. | 19:38 |
| mazyiar | Can anybody help? | 19:38 |
| hittingpilot | wols_: what is vnc? | 19:38 |

| danbhfive | AtomicSpark: maybe there is something wrong with your sources? | 19:42 |
| wols_ | AtomicSpark: it means a package in your repos mentions mono but mono itself is not there. fix your sources.list | 19:42 |

| Flannel | AquaFox: check your logs, unfortunately, without some error message, we don't have a lot to work off of | 19:45 |
| wols_ | LesserRemarkable: the windows will be a big file on the ubuntu partition | 19:46 |
| AquaFox | Where would the logs be Flannel ? | 19:46 |
| wols_ | /var/log and ~ | 19:46 |
| Flannel | AquaFox: /var/log, also try setting up a new profile for firefox, seeing if that works (move your old one, etc) | 19:46 |
| AquaFox | kk | 19:46 |
| danbhfive | AquaFox: yeah, but something is broken on your system. If no programs will start, you maybe have nothing more than corrupted data | 19:46 |
| AquaFox | danbhfive, it happens after extensive usage. | 19:46 |
| AquaFox | It works perfectly at starty. | 19:46 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | mazyiar, my experience with that is limited, i only have a home network with 2 pc's one of which is often windows and the other ubuntu, but shouldn't it list all different work groups? | 19:54 |
| mazyiar | also, i don't really know the 'syntax' of sharing. Like in windows, you just put in \\pc-name into 'Run'. | 19:55 |

| mazyiar | can somebody advise me on the correct procedure on installing programs? especially those with .tar.gz extensions. I can unzip and unpack them, but i don't know exactly where to put all the stuff. I also think it doesn't matter where i put it, but what are some good practices? | 20:11 |
| jepe1 | i tried xubuntu,ubuntu,kubuntu, both desktop and alternated images. | 20:12 |
| FAJALOU | hmmm, what software are you using to burn it? | 20:12 |

| apophis | MrWizeGuy1983, I see, you tried the -x option for xbox compliance? | 20:13 |
| FAJALOU | jepe1: on linux, or windows? | 20:13 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | yes, it had to be -x -t to work | 20:13 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | bb1, is your grub uninstalled or broken? | 20:17 |
| apophis | MrWizeGuy1983, well it shouldnt depend on ubuntu, obviously upnp is working, you see the mp3s and you said it worked in the past? It is probably some setting, have you tried something else then mp3? some pictures maybe? | 20:17 |

| Daviey | ghostlines: one issue.. if you have multiple MX entries, you would be wise to also have multiple DNS servers :) | 20:20 |
| Bert_2 | pucko-: did so, turned out I needed to use /dev/sdc because it's on USB | 20:20 |
| Bert_2 | pucko-: but it works so whatever | 20:20 |
| jepe1 | fajalou: ok, thanks anyways, i think i am the only one having this kind of problem. | 20:20 |

| Drk_Guy | Is there a good "gaming" VM for ubuntu? | 20:21 |
| Drk_Guy | hanophix33, it depends on compiz being working, do you have it up? | 20:22 |
| Drk_Guy | I mean, it won't work right if compiz doesn't work right because they use the same acceleration libraries | 20:22 |
| hanophix33 | drk_guy: compiz is working yes | 20:22 |

| light_saber | DRk Guy COD 4 on ubuntu? your best bet there is cedega | 20:26 |
| Drk_Guy | light_saber, Wine runs it great, and cedega wont run SERVICES either | 20:26 |
| apophis | CoD4? ;) nah thats not scumm :P | 20:26 |
| light_saber | ahhhhh.... | 20:26 |
| light_saber | i don | 20:26 |
| Drk_Guy | light_saber, punkbuster runs as a service, neither wine, neither cedega can run it | 20:26 |
| light_saber | i don | 20:26 |
| light_saber | i don't think you can use scummVm for COD4... not sure though | 20:27 |
| Drk_Guy | light_saber, and cedega is real lame and bad, i prefer the official wine with 3DMark patch | 20:27 |
| apophis | definitly not ;) | 20:27 |
| light_saber | lol | 20:27 |
| Drk_Guy | why not apophis? | 20:27 |
| light_saber | drk_guy are you going to run just a server for cod4 or the game itself? | 20:27 |
| apophis | Drk_Guy, I missunderstood you completly, :) | 20:27 |
| Drk_Guy | light_saber, the game, at least only multiplayer | 20:28 |
| light_saber | hmmmmmm | 20:28 |
| mazyiar | Hi, can *anybody* help me share files on ubuntu? | 20:28 |
| Drk_Guy | Ah!!!, ScummVM is a plattform emultaor | 20:28 |
| Drk_Guy | apophis, I need a *real* VM | 20:29 |
| light_saber | putting it on a virtual machine might make it unplayable... considering there are no Virtual machines right now that uses direct3d or use the native video card | 20:29 |
| skreet | mazyiar, You're going to need to be more specific. What are you trying to share files to or from? | 20:29 |
| KyleK | Drk_Guy: dosbox or xen? | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mazyiar samba if sharing with windows or ssh if between ubuntu's | 20:29 |
| apophis | Drk_Guy, ;) why dont do a multiboot? | 20:29 |
| Drk_Guy | light_saber, how? | 20:29 |
| mazyiar | lol i tried being more specific before... nobody'd reply | 20:29 |
| madcat | Ai, does anyone remember the command to get a list of rooms? | 20:29 |
| Drk_Guy | apophis, I won't get back to winbugs | 20:29 |
| skreet | light_saber, VMWare's Workstation 6.5 has DX 9 support, though it's horrendeus as of right now | 20:29 |
| Drk_Guy | madcat, /list | 20:29 |
| mazyiar | I'm trying to set up file sharing on my ubuntu pc using samba, but have some problems. I'm in a university network, where Ip addresses are assigned using DHCP, so no static IP's, and mostly i want to share out files that windows pc's will be accessing. I also want to access windows shares. | 20:29 |
| madcat | Thanks | 20:29 |
| light_saber | it has dx9 support but it doesn't use the native video card... it still use the vmware video drivers | 20:29 |
| apophis | Drk_Guy, a VM wont help you there, neither QEmu nor another one... you need an OS there | 20:29 |
| skreet | Drk_Guy, winbugs? heh.... | 20:30 |
| light_saber | apophis is right | 20:30 |
| Drk_Guy | Rats apophis, ill need to set-up windows or search for special servers w/o PB enabled | 20:30 |
| skreet | mazyiar, out of the box, you can access Windows shares. | 20:30 |
| light_saber | lol | 20:30 |
| Drk_Guy | light_saber, The bad thing, they must be REAL *special* | 20:31 |
| Drk_Guy | :) | 20:31 |
| apophis | Drk_Guy, thats what I said, make a multiboot :P if you run windows in a VM or in multiboot environment doesnt make much of a difference, beside that the VM will be slower | 20:31 |
| mazyiar | skreet, i'm unaware of the 'syntax' so to speak | 20:31 |
| gla234 | i installed gutenprinter but im not sure if my printer is detected, how do I verify it in console? | 20:31 |
| Drk_Guy | apophis, Right... | 20:31 |
| threexk | hello. I had my wireless card turned off when I installed Ubuntu and so it didn't install drivers. How can I make Ubuntu detect it? | 20:31 |
| skreet | mazyiar, Places > Connect to Server | 20:31 |
| Drk_Guy | apophis, Thanks anyways | 20:31 |
| apophis | Drk_Guy, you're welcome | 20:31 |
| skreet | mazyiar, Have you tried that? | 20:31 |
| Drk_Guy | :) | 20:32 |
| SkywaIker | what is my root password in 8.04 ? | 20:32 |
| mazyiar | skreet, that doesn't seem to work. In windows, i go to run and put in \\example, but here i don't know what to put in | 20:32 |
| skreet | wow, just ran updates and i apparently have 7 broken packages. | 20:32 |
| apophis | SkywaIker, ubuntu does not set a rootpass by default | 20:32 |
| skreet | SkywaIker, Root account is disabled. You will either have to use sudo or enable it. | 20:32 |
| skreet | mazyiar, One second, I'll look. I don't believe UNC (\\Servername\Share) convention is supported. | 20:32 |
| SkywaIker | how to enable root account ? | 20:33 |
| apophis | !root | SkywaIker | 20:34 |
| mazyiar | skreet, so then is it impossible to access using pc names? will i have to use IP addresses always? | 20:34 |
| ubottu | SkywaIker: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:34 |
| zainuddin | in login windows preference | 20:34 |
| skreet | mazyiar, Select "Windows Share", in Server put the IP or Hostname, Share is what you would have in the 2nd part of the unc (\\Server\Share), so place that there. Folder can be anything you want it to be, as it's the local name. Username and Domain Name are specific to your network. | 20:34 |
| zainuddin | enable local system adminisatrtor loing | 20:34 |
| zainuddin | login | 20:34 |
| hanophix33 | is there some plugins for AWN to make it more stable | 20:34 |
| skreet | mazyiar, Should be able to use Hostname. Make sure that you can resolve it -- in a terminal type "ping <hostname> and see if your computer knows where that hostname is. | 20:34 |
| apophis | mazyiar, you can activate NetBIOS name if you really want | 20:34 |
| threexk | is there a way to make Ubuntu detect a new wireless card? | 20:34 |
| zainuddin | then u must set passwd for root | 20:34 |
| MFen | anyone think of a command which acts like vim with 'highlightsearch' but to stdout? also like 'grep --color' but display the entire file in between highlighted lines. i just want to highlight matching lines | 20:35 |
| gla234 | wow just wow.. I installed the drivers but it refuses to detetct my printer :/ | 20:35 |
| skreet | SkywaIker, If you truely need the root account, which 99.999999999% of the time you don't, you can set a root password by typing "sudo passwd" | 20:35 |
| sick_ejb | hello i am having a porblem setting up the envoirnment variables for the java in .bashrc file, some can help me please | 20:35 |
| skreet | SkywaIker, If you just want a root shell, go into a terminal and type "sudo -s", you are now "root". | 20:35 |
| SkywaIker | thanks | 20:35 |
| mazyiar | skreet, if i'm accessing say \\tim, and i don't really know what folder i want to access, would i be able to use this method, by just putting in tim in the hostname? | 20:35 |
| NetEcho | wow sad, Ubuntu can handle Windows workgroups better than windows itself lol | 20:36 |
| danand | c | 20:36 |
| skreet | mazyiar, Ah, you cannot "connect to server" the root of a unc. You will need the share name... I think Ubuntu has a way to browse too, one second. | 20:36 |
| danand | oops | 20:36 |
| mazyiar | apophis, could you explain about the NetBios? | 20:36 |
| SkywaIker | can I use Xen on ubuntu ? | 20:36 |
| === c4lman is now known as calman | ||

| askand | How do I run xprograms without starting gnome or kde? | 20:37 |
| SkywaIker | when I install Linux-Xen package or Ubuntu-xen-server , and restart , everything disapear. | 20:37 |
| jlulian38 | Is there anyway to see where my traffic is being routed(through which interface) | 20:37 |
| sstchur | Is there a way to add a user with spaces in the name? For example "Joe User" ? I understand that in order to print, the user on the windows machine needs an account on the Ubuntu machine, but the account on the Windows machine has a space in the account name. | 20:37 |
| skreet | mazyiar, Have you tried using Places > Network and selecting Windows Network? This may not work on a University network, though. | 20:37 |
| apophis | mazyiar, the names you see in windows networks are so called NetBios names, which are exchanged wihtout a central structure (NO DNS) normally ubunutu doesnt resolve them but there is a Wins client which does: like here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88206 | 20:37 |
| skreet | apophis, Good point, I was assuming it was a Windows 2003 DNS-Only network, but it's possible -- likely -- that it's not. | 20:38 |
| jaivikram | my terminal is not keeping command history ....how do i enable it?-- hardy | 20:38 |
| skreet | mazyiar, I just found something, if you go to Places > Network then select the left-hand side pencil-on-paper icon you can enter your own address, try smb://tim/ or smb://tim's_ip_here/ -- should be able to browse. | 20:38 |
| skreet | jaivikram, You mean the command "history", or the scrollback? | 20:39 |
| === alex_ is now known as aleksandr | ||
| apophis | skreet, mazyiar: that might also be the solution to why he sees some and he doesnt see others ;) | 20:39 |
| jaivikram | both...neither m i able to scrollback nor is ctrl+r gives me anything | 20:40 |
| SkywaIker | when I install Linux-Xen package or Ubuntu-xen-server , and restart , everything disapear. Can i use Xen on Ubuntu ??? | 20:40 |
| friel | Got a networking issue, got a EEPC running ubuntu, and pc running ubuntu, (8.04) but unable to see either on my network, ( both connected by ethernet to a BT router) | 20:40 |

| iuri | does anyone know how to create a partiotion | 20:42 |
| threexk | is there a GUI for telling your wireless card where to connect? | 20:42 |
| iuri | using free space available | 20:42 |
| mazyiar | apophis, the link you send looks promising, i'll go through that and check... since our ip's are reasigned every few hours or so, the ip thing isn't really practical unfortunately :( | 20:42 |
| apophis | iuri, gparted is a graphical client for partitioning | 20:42 |
| friel | apophis skreet, ping returns normally, | 20:42 |
| skreet | friel So you are expecting to see the other PC under Places > Network, right? | 20:42 |
| jaivikram | how to make the shell use bash by default | 20:43 |
| friel | skreet yes, is that wrong? | 20:43 |
| iuri | apophis, i ran fdisk -l but it doesn't show the free space avaivlable | 20:43 |

| apophis | !smb | friel | 20:43 |
| abchirk | Are there ubuntu packages for Skype? | 20:43 |
| ubottu | friel: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 20:43 |

| friel | >.< skreet, not sharing any folders. | 20:44 |
| NetEcho | is there an easy way to take screenshots of your desktop? | 20:44 |
| skreet | jaivikram, find the line starting with your username and edit /bin/sh to /bin/bash | 20:44 |

| mist | does anyone know how I can prevent X from running at boot time, I would like to just boot to a terminal and then be able to run startx or something of the like later on if I need gui | 20:44 |
| skreet | NetEcho, press print screen, very easy menu to take many screenshots | 20:44 |
| friel | skreet think you're right, feel like a numpty now :) | 20:44 |
| NetEcho | where does it save it? | 20:44 |
| skreet | NetEcho, It will prompt you, try it now. | 20:45 |
| apophis | !pastebin | iuri can you copy paste your fdisk -l into a pastebin and send me the link? : | 20:45 |
| ubottu | iuri can you copy paste your fdisk -l into a pastebin and send me the link? :: 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) | 20:45 |
| NetEcho | willdo | 20:45 |
| jaivikram | i use emacs...anywayz...it says.../bin/bash already | 20:45 |
| skreet | jaivikram, Wierd, the only other thing that would override that is the terminal settings. Did you change any of the settings of gnome-terminal? (Or are you using another)? | 20:45 |
| jaivikram | m using a gnome terminal only...just that m on a fresh hardy install ...a few days old | 20:46 |
| yowshi | OMG someone needs to shoot the firefox dev team | 20:46 |
| skreet | yowshi, Lol, why? | 20:46 |
| yowshi | because it now looks better but the eye candy has come at the cost of speed | 20:47 |
| Scientus | can someone send me or paste bin 8.04 /etc/bash.bashrc i think i inadvertantally changed it | 20:47 |
| skreet | jaivikram, Check this setting: Edit > Current Profile > Title and Command > [Run a custom command...] is that set to anything? | 20:47 |
| apophis | yowshi, I think FF3 is faster than FF2 ;) | 20:47 |
| iuri | apophis, i just installed gparted. things became clear now | 20:47 |
| apophis | iuri, ok :) | 20:47 |
| yowshi | skreet: on ocasion when i push a button in a game on firefox 3 the damn thing lags where it didnt with firefox 2 | 20:47 |
| node357 | yeah, Firefox 3 runs faster for me too | 20:47 |
| skreet | yowshi, I agree with you. | 20:47 |
| iuri | apophis, i can see the unalocated space | 20:47 |
| skreet | :) | 20:47 |
| Scientus | is there any easy way to retrieve deafult /etc files? | 20:47 |
| apophis | iuri, good | 20:47 |
| skreet | Scientus, Which file in particular, or did you do something bad? ;) | 20:47 |
| yowshi | how do i make thing this look and behave like firefox 2 | 20:47 |
| iuri | apophis, what reason i can't see on fdisk -l | 20:48 |
| skreet | yowshi, Install Firefox 2? | 20:48 |
| threexk | how do you tell your wireless where to connect? | 20:48 |
| Scientus | it will prob still work only commented lines i think | 20:48 |
| skreet | iuri, fdisk -l only works as root, fyi. | 20:48 |
| Scientus | /etc/bash.bashrc for 8.04 | 20:48 |
| zaggy-nl | HOLLAND \o/ | 20:48 |

| skreet | jaivikram, That is very strange... | 20:48 |
| iuri | skreet, i ran as root dah | 20:48 |
| jaivikram | the problem is in between sessions | 20:48 |
| skreet | Scientus, I'll send you a pastebin of my default 8.04 file if you like. | 20:48 |
| skreet | iuri, Just checking :) | 20:49 |
| jaivikram | its keeping history and scroll within a session | 20:49 |
| Scientus | skreet: thx | 20:49 |
| jaivikram | not between sessions | 20:49 |
| yowshi | and with with this new wabpage finishing drop down list when i type in an address | 20:49 |
| Scientus | if i edit /etc/bash.bashrc and add EXPORT PATH will that add to my path for everything | 20:49 |
| yowshi | the damn thing is the size of half my screen and ugly as all hell | 20:49 |
| yowshi | not to mention distracting | 20:49 |
| Scientus | there could be a gui---its a pretty common thing to do........... | 20:50 |
| sr71Blackbird | I'm so registering wabpage.com | 20:50 |

| skreet | is pastebin.ca slow as heck for anyone else too? | 20:50 |
| yowshi | where is firefox's forum site located i have got some flaming to do | 20:50 |
| mazyiar | apophis, is there any way to allow them to access using the computer name i've set? | 20:51 |
| mist | does anyone know how to boot to terminal/text only mode (ie no gui) | 20:51 |
| skreet | yowshi, Be positive able it, no one likes flaming. | 20:51 |

| apophis | mazyiar, have you set a NETBIOS name in the samba setting? | 20:51 |
| sr71Blackbird | ve been moving towards Epiphany for a while now, in place of Firefox. | 20:52 |
| extor | I installed the package php5-xdebug on a test system and it seems to have added some frills to error messages and to var_dump() but is there any documentation I can find which tells me the full features I added by installing this package? | 20:52 |
| sr71Blackbird | No real reason other than finding it a cleaner user experience. | 20:52 |
| skreet | Scientus, My favorite pastebin is broken, know of another? | 20:52 |

| teq | yowshi: just type sudo apt-get install xmms | 21:04 |
| yowshi | teq: xmms isnt in the repo | 21:04 |
| skreet | bluefoxx, It's been so long since I've messed with config files for that stuff, used to be that you had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- can someone state if that's still true? | 21:04 |
| yowshi | teq: so apt-get wont work | 21:05 |
| teq | yowshi: i just installed it from the repo | 21:05 |
| MrPocknix_ | sooo | 21:05 |

| teq | yowshi: whats your problem? | 21:05 |
| apophis | yowshi, I am also quite sure there quite some xmms packets in the repo ;) | 21:05 |
| Rabiddog | like* | 21:05 |

| evilbug | bluefoxx- just boot into safe mode and do that from the console. | 21:06 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, What errors?? | 21:06 |
| yowshi | Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:06 |
| yowshi | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 21:06 |

| Snowie | does ubuntu have some sort of burning sofrware ?:P | 21:11 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, What commands do you notice are doing it? Just ls and dir. What if you cat a file? | 21:11 |
| Odd-rationale | Snowie: try brasero | 21:11 |

| yowshi | teq: yes. i got the source from them but i am missing some package configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first *** | 21:11 |
| evilbug | bluefoxx- creative is a pretty big brand and it should be supported. | 21:11 |

| Rabiddog | skreet | 21:12 |

| Rabiddog | prince@House:/dev$ nano | 21:12 |
| Rabiddog | Segmentation fault | 21:12 |
| Rabiddog | lol | 21:12 |
| Led_Zeppelin | I am using wine, but I can't seem to click on any check boxes in the program | 21:12 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, the strace is a record of system calls, and munmap is the call to "unmap memory" -- same as my bug. I hunted for a few hours and ended up rebooting -- problem went away. Have you rebooted? | 21:12 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, Lol, yep. | 21:12 |
| Rabiddog | no I haven't rebooted | 21:12 |
| evilbug | Led_Zeppelin- go to #wine | 21:12 |
| yowshi | teq: well it kind of might but i dont know which of the glib options might solve my problem | 21:13 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, Well, you could do what I did and throw a few hours at it -- but it didn't get me anywhere :( | 21:13 |
| skreet | what kernel? | 21:13 |
| s0ullight | Led_Zeppelin, were there any .dll errors in the installation? | 21:13 |
| skreet | run 'uname -r' | 21:13 |
| Led_Zeppelin | s0ullight, not sure, I just popped in the cd and ran setup.exe | 21:13 |
| teq | yowshi: try apt-get install glib 1.2.2 | 21:13 |
| Rabiddog | skreet maybe I'll just file a bug report | 21:13 |
| teq | yowshi: or maybe wget will work | 21:13 |
| Owner | could someone tell me the windows channel? | 21:13 |
| evilbug | Owner- #windows | 21:13 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, Include the strace, the fact that it happens in ls, dir and nano and a 'uname -r'.. Maybe it's a kernel bug. | 21:14 |
| yowshi | teq: wget needs a webpage to download and that apt-get glib 1.2.2 fails miserably | 21:14 |
| zainuddin | what the best software tools to develop php? | 21:14 |
| s0ullight | Led_Zeppelin, i would recommend you to try running the app from a gnome-terminal and look for errors | 21:14 |
| Rabiddog | k | 21:14 |
| teq | yowshi: i know wget needs a website | 21:14 |
| skreet | zainuddin, It's a matter of preference, I use gedit and nano. Some people use Eclipse (full IDE) with PHP modules. | 21:14 |
| rodpod | is there a link to an .xml rss feed for pack updates in ubuntu's repositories? | 21:14 |
| yowshi | teq: exactly and i dont know where to get this package | 21:14 |
| skreet | teq isn't wget part of the "gnutils" suite? | 21:15 |
| zainuddin | like dreamweaver in windows | 21:15 |
| Kirsch | hey all, i have ubuntu 8.04 (running the server distro) and i installed pptpd yesterday to VPN and that works great.. apparently too great. i can't access my SMB share locally without having to VPN into the server, did iturn something on by accident? (i restarted the server just now and this started happening) | 21:15 |
| teq | skreet: i think so, yes. | 21:15 |
| skreet | zainuddin, I think Eclipse is pretty comparible, though dreamweaver writes HTML in WYSIWYG mode, I don't think Eclipse can do that? | 21:15 |
| teq | yowshi: hmmm | 21:15 |
| s0ullight | Kirsch, try killing it | 21:15 |
| Kirsch | skreet: no eclipse is for hand coding, there are probably plugins that give you a WYSIWYG | 21:15 |
| zainuddin | tq skreet | 21:15 |
| Kirsch | s0ullight: i want the VPN server to run | 21:16 |
| s0ullight | Kirsch, look for config files :s | 21:16 |
| yowshi | apt-get needs to be abkle to install specific libvraries or packages because thats what the error messages spit how. how am i supposed to know where to find this glib 1.2.2 or beter | 21:16 |
| skreet | Kirsch, I don't mean to sound condescending, but why PPTP? | 21:16 |
| Kirsch | skreet: cause i found a doc to explain how to do it and it worked well | 21:16 |
| yowshi | spit out* | 21:16 |

| mcscruff | lo all, does anyone know how to run aircrack-ng from the gnome menu, i have made an entry but am unsure of the full command to run it and leave terminal open | 21:17 |

| Rabiddog | skreet, best to document the bug now in case it reoccurs | 21:27 |

| yoshimit | crimsun_: thank you, but do not work... my sound icon still has the red block signal... no sound... It gives me this message (when I double click it): No GStreamer module and/or device was found... | 21:37 |
| nikosapi | what's the difference between linux-headers-lum and linux-headers? | 21:37 |
| skreet | Skyrail, I don't... remember... The "Test" link should work immediately. Was that "fuzzy"? | 21:37 |
| apophis | Angela_Smith, you know on which parition windos resides on? I would repair the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, but I am not sure if there isnt an easier way | 21:37 |
| crimsun_ | yoshimit: what's the output from `lspci -nv|grep -A1 040[13]'? | 21:37 |
| soundray | joshritger: I'm sorry, I can't seem to help you. You might ask the channel again. | 21:37 |
| skreet | Ugh, my perl is very broken. | 21:37 |
| siofwolves | thadeoc, run adept > manage repositories | 21:37 |
| joshritger | ok | 21:38 |
| Angela_Smith | apophis, it looks like it made a backup of menu.1st i am looking at it now | 21:38 |
| Skyrail | skreet: nope, that's the problem the beep is fine | 21:38 |
| soundray | fesha: line 21 -- could that be your card reader? | 21:38 |

| Skyrail | As is youtube, it's just rythmbox and last.fm's player, which is weird as it's flash just like youtube | 21:38 |
| skreet | Is there a way to purge a package and reinstall it without uninstalling all the dependencies? | 21:38 |
| thadeoc | thanks siowolves | 21:38 |
| soundray | skreet: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename | 21:38 |
| skreet | Skyrail, Rhythmbox is GStreamer, not sure about last.fm | 21:38 |
| Elijah | any help on setting up a ubuntu connection | 21:38 |
| Elijah | internet/lan | 21:38 |
| skreet | soundray, Thank you. | 21:38 |
| apophis | you would only need to copy the part for windows, but make sure you have a live CD aswell in case grub won't boot | 21:38 |
| Elijah | though vista ics | 21:38 |
| siofwolves | thadeoc, sorry, i'm running kubuntu.. | 21:39 |
| yigal | I just installed 8.04 but my broadcom isn't being detected via ifconfig, but is listed with lspci, after ndiswrapper installation anyone have clue what could be going on? | 21:39 |
| thadeoc | hmm ok i can't try it at the moment as i'm at work | 21:39 |
| Elijah | the only way I can get internet is through my vista laptop right now | 21:39 |
| skreet | soundray, UGH. Apt is broken because Perl isn't working, so I can't do that... | 21:39 |
| skreet | Ideas? | 21:39 |
| Skyrail | skreet: mhmm, okay, I'll have to just live it out then, or buy new speakers, or something. It's somewhat intermittent | 21:39 |
| Elijah | i need to connect my ubuntu tower to it so i can download software for the modem | 21:39 |
| yigal | I'm back using my debian partition, which is using the card no problem | 21:39 |
| skreet | Skyrail, Another thought wouuld be volume, if it's too high that might happen.. | 21:39 |
| Skyrail | skreet: can you remove perl manually and then try and find the files to manually reinstall it? | 21:40 |
| skreet | Skyrail, That sounds dangerous.... ::scared:: | 21:40 |
| Elijah | hwat should firefox options be set to for it to use the internet | 21:40 |
| evilbug | does ubuntu server have the same issues as with desktop between 32 and 64 bit? | 21:40 |
| Elijah | proxy? | 21:40 |
| Skyrail | skreet: yeh I know it does and I wouldn't venture to do it myself either haha | 21:40 |
| skreet | it's the files in /usr/lib/perl5 that are causing errors on apt scripts... I tracked a few errors down to legitimate bugs.. | 21:40 |
| Leefmc | Question: There was a program to enable a wallpaper to span accross multiple desktops. Anyone know what that was? I forget the name of it. | 21:40 |
| soundray | skreet: you might boot from a live CD, find out the file list of the faulty packages with dpkg -L and copy them from the live CD system into yours | 21:41 |
| Elijah | no proxy, auto-detect proxy settings | 21:41 |
| soundray | skreet: this could easily end up being more work than just doing a fresh installation | 21:41 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: do you saw my message? | 21:41 |
| skreet | I had that thought. | 21:41 |
| crimsun_ | yoshimit: yes, I was checking the source code. | 21:41 |

| Kirsch | skreet: did you get my last message? | 21:42 |
| soundray | fesha: apart from the SD card slot, is there a PCMCIA slot as well? | 21:42 |

| CorbinFox | is there a way to stop the fishy from the Free the Fish thing from swimming? SHe is cute and all, but starting to get on my nerves XD | 21:43 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: yes, but I`m using 2.6.24-16 now | 21:43 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: only in 2.6.24-16 the nvidia driver works... :( | 21:43 |
| skreet | Kirsch, did it have my name in it, I don't see it...? | 21:43 |
| soundray | fesha: when you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then insert the SD card, is there any indication that the system notices the insertion? | 21:43 |
| ariqs | is there a mirror for debian.packages.org? | 21:43 |
| Kirsch | skreet: no i didn't put anyones name, i need an init script to start apache with ssl | 21:43 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: wait a minute... I will confirm this package | 21:43 |
| soundray | ariqs: why debian? This is ubuntu... | 21:44 |
| joshritger | can someone help me trouble shoot a bluetooth keyboard, I have tried to follow the ubuntu community documentation on how to connect it. I have scanned with hcitool scan and it picks up the keyboard, when I go to pair it, it will not pair. this is in 8.04, in 7.10 it worked fine. | 21:44 |
| Leefmc | Question: Does GEdit have any form of wildcard search? (CtrlF searching the document) | 21:44 |
| skreet | Kirsch, I don't think the init script has to change? | 21:44 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: yes... I have this modulo installed... | 21:44 |
| Kirsch | skreet: i don't have one cause i compile my own apache instance | 21:44 |
| ariqs | soundray: there is a debian package I want, that afaik will work with ubuntu | 21:45 |
| fesha | soundray: No it doesnt seem to noticeat all | 21:45 |

| skreet | Rabiddog, yeah? | 21:45 |
| Rabiddog | Can't get it to load no more | 21:45 |
| soundray | fesha: have you tested this reader in any other OS? | 21:45 |
| skreet | Kirsch, Are you compiling from deb-src? | 21:45 |
| Rabiddog | skreet its fucked | 21:45 |
| Rabiddog | oops | 21:45 |

| ompaul | !apache | Kirsch its in the repos | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Kirsch its in the repos: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:46 |
| Rabiddog | skreet I think so | 21:46 |
| skreet | Rabiddog, LiveCD and fsck is in order, I bet. | 21:46 |
| ariqs | i was just going to compile the package, but of course, that turned into a giant mess fast, and no one will help me with the problem I have with compiling it | 21:46 |

| Yooshi | seems to me limewire is a wine thing not a native thing | 21:50 |
| olin | what are the commands, please to mount | 21:50 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: http://pastebin.ca/1052638 | 21:51 |
| soundray | !limewire | Yooshi | 21:51 |
| ubottu | Yooshi: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. | 21:51 |
| olin | I meant to mount a cdrom | 21:51 |

| Yooshi | at least limewire works | 21:51 |

| Yooshi | soundray: I have an app that works in wine but it can't see the internet is there any way I can get it to see the 'net? | 21:52 |
| ompaul | _phoenix_, ehh look at this web page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | 21:52 |
| Yooshi | soundray: I know its not wine... but nevermind | 21:52 |
| Elijah | I have ubuntu and a sprint u727 modem which is useless unless i install packages | 21:52 |
| Yooshi | limewire doesn't install as a package | 21:52 |
| Elijah | the only way i can install packages is to get internet to it | 21:52 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Yooshi, what do you mean limewire doesn't install as a package? | 21:52 |
| Elijah | the only computer that works right now with my u727 modem is my vista laptop | 21:52 |
| Elijah | help me | 21:53 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Yooshi, i have limewire pro 4.16 in a .deb file if you want it | 21:53 |
| Yooshi | MrWizeGuy1983: the instructions says to start limewire by running runlimewire.sh | 21:53 |
| soundray | Elijah: please keep it on one line. You can download the packages you need in Vista, then copy them to your package cache (/var/cache/apt/archives/) | 21:53 |
| Yooshi | MrWizeGuy1983: please :), what do I have to give you so you're happy? :D | 21:53 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Yooshi, can i try to send you the .deb file? all you have to do is install it with the package manager | 21:53 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | lol | 21:53 |
| Yooshi | nice, thats better | 21:53 |
| Yooshi | haha, send away | 21:54 |

| Horscht | hi | 21:54 |
| yoshimit | hehe... I think I have a parent here... | 21:54 |
| Leefmc | Question: This'll sound a little odd, but does anyone know how to make it so that in firefox, if you click your url address bar, the entire text is selected by default? This is my main search bar, so damn near every time i have to "click it to select it, ctrl-a to select all, and delete (or start typing)". Its an unneeded habit. | 21:54 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Yooshi, did you get the file transfer request? | 21:54 |
| Horscht | I am trying to install the package libgl1-mesa-dev, but I always get an error: | 21:54 |
| Horscht | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl1-mesa-dev_7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_all.deb: Fehler beim Erzeugen des symbolischen Verweises »./usr/lib/libGL.so« | 21:54 |
| Yooshi | MrWizeGuy1983: I did, but its waiting | 21:55 |
| soundray | superkuh: would disabling automount in general be a solution for you? | 21:55 |
| Horscht | (error creating symbolic link) | 21:55 |
| Yooshi | for some reason I never have any luck with DCC | 21:55 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i can email it to you if you like, can paste your email | 21:55 |
| joshritger | soundray: I finally got it to work, don't really know how, just kept doing it and it finally worked | 21:55 |
| Yooshi | MrWizeGuy1983: yeah I'll pm you my email | 21:55 |
| superkuh | soundray: Not really. I find automount useful for manually transfering the pictures. I just don't want f-spot-import butting in. | 21:55 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | ok | 21:55 |
| apophis | Horscht, try / sudo rm /usr/lib/libGL.so and retry | 21:55 |
| soundray | joshritger: bluetooth is black magic sometimes | 21:55 |
| Wolfkin | I have an old corporate computer my sister got form her old job. It's not the most powerful thing out there so I thought I'd try to install Linux on it. My question is how should I go about reformatting the entire thing and installing Ubuntu? | 21:56 |
| joshritger | soundray: I have never had any issues in the past with it, I have used it with the past 3 releases | 21:56 |
| ompaul | Wolfkin, the install process will look after that, before you do, how powerful is it and how much ram, and how much disk | 21:56 |
| apophis | Wolfkin, you will be asked which drive you want to use during install, it will be automatically partitioned and formatted :) but be sure to copy your important data before that | 21:56 |
| yoshimit | crimsun_: do you think that I need to uninstall 2.6.24-19 ? | 21:56 |

| apophis | maybe that helps | 22:00 |
| yowshi | this tracker/indexing thingy | 22:01 |
| superkuh | soundray: I did as you suggested. f-spot still intervenes. That does narrow down the problem a bit more, though. Thank you for your help. | 22:01 |

| apophis | SpookyET, the /dev devices are special files which are created by hand /dev/udev/ are devices which are created by the /udev/ service ... which is dynamic | 22:02 |

| apophis | SpookyET, I can create as many tty files as I want... are they dynamic? | 22:04 |

| SpookyET | apophis: i know what it is | 22:06 |
| superkuh | s0ullight: Serve what? Also, if you want help with xmms: http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html and then use checkinstall to make the deb. "$ checkinstall --install=no -D" | 22:07 |
| s3a | xbj9000: it needs to be extracted so i cant rely open them b4 extracting them which is wat i tried to do with these 2 packages (apps): rar and unrar-free | 22:07 |

| BlackGlance | ok. I have one question: | 22:11 |
| BlackGlance | hey. I have one question. when I click on Unmount Volume (it's flash memory) it says that I can deattach it safely, but in Windows the light on the flash memory turned off when I remove that. | 22:11 |
| RUS|jamzor | so can anyone help me with installing ubuntu with Wubi ??? | 22:11 |
| === RUS|jamzor is now known as jamzore | ||

| jamzore | and can i choose either ubuntu or xp | 22:11 |
| jamzore | when i boot my pc? | 22:11 |
| xbj9000 | s3a do you know how to get xarchiver? | 22:11 |
| funkyHat | chachin: there are several around, they don't need to advertise that they are ops all the time. :) | 22:12 |

| chachin | oh i see | 22:12 |
| xbj9000 | s3a yes | 22:12 |

| === tofaffy_ is now known as tofaffy | ||
| jamzore | thx | 22:12 |
| funkyHat | BlackGlance: I believe that's because on windows, when you unmount a volume the power is cut too, but on Linux it is just unmounted but left powered | 22:12 |
| chachin | its the first time ever i been here on mIRC | 22:13 |
| xbj9000 | yes s3a, sorry :p | 22:13 |
| soundray | david_: you can't. It's safe to remove ubuntu-desktop, though, it's just a metapackage. | 22:13 |
| kymo | hello | 22:13 |
| Kirsch | hey guys i'm trying to debug some SMTP issues, when i telnet to one of my other servers via port 25 i get a response, however when i do it from my server, i don't, what would be the cause of this? i don't have iptables | 22:13 |
| apophis | chachin, welcome to IRC :) | 22:13 |
| chachin | sup apophis | 22:13 |
| funkyHat | BlackGlance: that means you can mount it again without having to unplug it and plug it back in again... so it could be seen as a good thing | 22:13 |
| david_ | soundray, it removes too many programs i need... | 22:13 |
| BlackGlance | aha. thanks funkyHat | 22:13 |
| s3a | xbj9000: k, thx for ur help im gona go now | 22:13 |

| Wolfkin | ompaul and apophis thanks for responding. as I tried to imply earlier the computer isn't originally mine so I don't care for the data that's currently on it. I'm ok with wiping the whole thing out. It's currently running WinME I think or Win2000 i forget. I'll try the disc and it sounds like it should do what I want automatically. | 22:14 |
| chachin | wow | 22:14 |
| chachin | thats complicated | 22:14 |
| apophis | Wolfkin, maybe you should download the "Alternative" version, which only need 64MB (AFAIK) | 22:14 |
| funkyHat | hm | 22:14 |
| ompaul | Wolfkin, yeap but if under powered try xubuntu it works on lower powered machines | 22:14 |
| chachin | i tought it was only ./msg nickserv register nick pass | 22:15 |

| jamzore | Resizing Partitions Using the Ubuntu Installer | 22:17 |
| jamzore | under this i dont get it | 22:17 |
| jamzore | Choose the First Option (It should be something like: "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space"). | 22:17 |
| Wolfkin | well i only tried one time.. it began to boot from disc.. i left it when I came back the screen was no longer showing the Ubuntu Logo.. it was just black and i had to force shutdown. | 22:17 |
| jamzore | where is this lol? | 22:17 |
| jamzore | is it on the installer or? | 22:18 |
| xbj9000 | wolfkin you have low ram, right? | 22:18 |
| soundray | jamzore: when you start the installer from the live CD, you get to the partitioning options | 22:18 |
| apophis | jamzore, thats one of the steps in the installer, your Hard Drives might be different then the one in the example, if you have multiple harddrives, be sure you select the right one | 22:18 |
| chachin | why cant i see my stats | 22:18 |
| xbj9000 | as someone said, the alternate CD may work better, otherwise you may want to go with a smaller Linux distro | 22:18 |
| chachin | (: | 22:19 |
| soundray | chachin: because that's not what ubottu is for | 22:19 |
| chachin | oh ok | 22:19 |
| jpw27_ | I'm only downloading at 1.4 KB/sec, but my connection is capable of 160+. is there any way to reset my internet connection, or do something to fix it? | 22:19 |
| Wolfkin | I might.. i don't really know. I only tried it once so I'll give it the old college try before I come back with more quesitosn | 22:19 |
| Wolfkin | I might --> I might have low ram | 22:19 |
| jamzore | which one should i do, automatic partitioning or manual partitioning? | 22:19 |
| xbj9000 | wolfkin you don't know how much ram you have? | 22:20 |
| apophis | jpw27_, have you tried to download from different server? sounds like its the server which delivers slow | 22:20 |
| magic_ninja | jpw27_, sudo ifdown eth0 (try eth1 or eth2 if that doesn't work) then when that goes through sudo ifup eth0 | 22:20 |
| soundray | jamzore: your choice. Make sure you understand what you do from those help pages before you go ahead. | 22:20 |
| jamzore | I do. | 22:20 |
| jamzore | BUt just wondering if ive never done this before | 22:20 |
| jamzore | and i dont have anything too important on my pc | 22:20 |

| jamzore | if i fuck it up | 22:20 |
| Wolfkin | nope.. it's a computer my sister got form her job.. they were tossing a TON of them said she could have it. | 22:20 |
| soundray | jamzore: use professional language in here | 22:20 |

| chachin | .rr | 22:21 |
| xbj9000 | wolfkin is there a Windows OS on it right now? you could use it to find out how much ram is available etc. | 22:21 |
| chachin | nothing happens lol | 22:21 |
| soundray | !lol | chachin | 22:21 |
| Wolfkin | there is a windows OS but i don't knoow the corporate password they had. | 22:21 |

| aixenv | afternoon gang | 22:22 |

| Wolfkin | sure that i can do | 22:22 |
| soundray | ronnie: try configuring your monitor with gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 22:22 |
| jpw27_ | apophis: it could be the server, my connection goes up and down from 2 to 80 and all in between. | 22:22 |
| chachin | soundry was up | 22:22 |
| Wolfkin | that id idn't thikn of before.. aside from changing the boot order | 22:22 |
| xbj9000 | wolfkin I would look in the BIOS for info on ram and cpu speed, then make a choice of OS based on that | 22:22 |

| aditya1 | funkyHat: i know about that but i dont want to lose data and installed packages now and only ubuntu is installed | 22:32 |
| amenado | Yooshi-> btw, how do you know it is leaking ? | 22:32 |
| almostdvs | soundray: i have an old kernel i want to get rid of, how do i do it from terminal (by the way the first command is not correct) | 22:32 |
| rgsteele||home | amenado: Ah, I see, it's in the request directive in dhclient.conf | 22:32 |
| apophis | vocx, I havent said anything about germany today ;) however I am surprised about the russians | 22:32 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: although you will need to do the partitoning in Linux (i.e. Windows can't resize linux partitions, so if your Ubuntu install is using all of the disc space currently you'll have to change that before installing windows) | 22:33 |
| bluefoxx | apophis: xbj9000 i know its a radeon 9600 agp 8x | 22:33 |
| vocx | K^Holtz, that might be some specific windows software. So maybe the "driver" works but every features hasn't been implemented in linux. | 22:33 |
| soundray | almostdvs: just to clarify: I volunteer to help here, but that doesn't make me your lackey | 22:33 |
| nouvo | chalk | 22:33 |
| Yooshi | hmm why is nautilus killing my cpu when I try to do searches? | 22:33 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: i have two partitions, one is ext3(/) and another is FAT | 22:33 |
| K^Holtz | vocx: so with my IP5000 i would have no way to determine what c | 22:33 |
| K^Holtz | vocx: so with my IP5000 i would have no way to determine what cartridge is low? | 22:34 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: ok, are you planning to install windows on the FAT partition? | 22:34 |
| apophis | Yooshi, killing your cpu? is it burning? :D | 22:34 |
| Yooshi | haha no... but its maxing its use | 22:34 |
| soundray | almostdvs: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic' | 22:34 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: also, you don't have a swap partition? | 22:34 |
| vocx | K^Holtz, maybe not. Can't you open the printer and find out, or maybe do a test prints? | 22:34 |
| Yooshi | ahhh I found our problem | 22:34 |
| bluefoxx | apophis: so what do i do? | 22:34 |
| apophis | Yooshi, if its a local search than its ok | 22:34 |
| Yooshi | nautilus in gksu likes to use up everything there is | 22:34 |
| almostdvs | naw ur cool.. theres usually just like two guys in here that are really knowledgeable and helpful at a given time | 22:34 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: i have that too | 22:34 |
| Yooshi | lmao... really? local | 22:34 |
| apophis | bluefoxx, sorry, no idea | 22:35 |
| vocx | apophis, now is the time for Spain to show they can win this stuff. | 22:35 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know where i can go to get supoort for phpbb mods? | 22:35 |
| bluefoxx | apophis: damn. | 22:35 |
| apophis | vocx, spain, italy... wheres the difference | 22:35 |
| K^Holtz | vocx: the only way to determine is to visually examine the cartridges, but thats not so easy if they are all low | 22:35 |
| bluefoxx | so im basically screwed >< | 22:35 |
| lenswipe | NOTE: #phpbb doesnt provide mod support | 22:35 |
| xbj9000 | bluefoxx hang on I'll find the name of the driver | 22:35 |
| nouvo | ubuntu | 22:35 |
| K^Holtz | just a little dissapointing im going to have to put windows on a partition just to check my printer | 22:35 |
| nouvo | u b u n t u | 22:35 |
| aditya1 | in fact four paritions, 1st ext3 /(boot) , 2nd swap , 3rd ext3 (/home) and 4th FAT | 22:35 |
| bluefoxx | xbj9000: ty | 22:35 |
| soundray | almostdvs: so use your skills of politeness to show your appreciation | 22:35 |
| apophis | bluefoxx, no maybe someone else can help, or search for your grafic card and ubuntu with google | 22:35 |
| Myrtti | nouvo: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 22:36 |
| Yooshi | MrWizeGuy1983: I found the problem | 22:36 |
| whileimhere | I've installed and uninstalled with apt-get a ton of programs. I am sure that there are packages still taking up room on my harddrive. Is there an apt-get command to purge my system of any unneeded deb and config files? | 22:36 |
| nouvo | i can't install it | 22:36 |
| Yooshi | now it won't stop | 22:36 |
| almostdvs | ur awesome thank you | 22:36 |
| bluefoxx | apophis: tried that first actually... | 22:36 |
| Yooshi | how can I stop linux from using more resources after I have already killed the process? | 22:36 |
| daigorobr | whileimhere: use apt-get autoremove | 22:36 |
| nouvo | "lol" | 22:36 |
| amenado | whileimhere-> hard disk are cheap..get another new one | 22:36 |
| lenswipe | almostdvs: i know i am :) thanks for saying so... | 22:36 |
| whileimhere | thanks | 22:36 |
| AquaFox | I have a reeeally wide wallpaper. I want it to stretch to my 4 desktops (if I ctrl+alt+right I see more of it). How to do that? | 22:36 |
| rgsteele||home | amenado: Thanks for the tip. Adjusting the dhclient.conf to supersede the domain name and prepend the necessary DNS server seems to have fixed my issue. | 22:37 |
| daigorobr | whileimhere: and install and run deborphan. you should then be okay. | 22:37 |
| whileimhere | thank you | 22:37 |
| nouvo | do not open before xmas | 22:37 |
| apophis | bluefoxx, lets try something... type aticonfig in a console | 22:37 |
| nouvo | it's written on the box | 22:37 |
| soundray | whileimhere: 'sudo apt-get autoremove' cleans out orphaned packages. Consider also 'apt-get autoclean' | 22:37 |
| vocx | K^Holtz, I hope you are saying that as a joke and lot like a flaim bait. | 22:37 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: ok cool :) so you're planning to install windows on the FAT partition that you already have... that's cool, what you need to do is do that, and then using the ubuntu install CD rebuild GRUB (The boot selector) | 22:37 |
| amenado | rgsteele||home-> am glad it worked out | 22:37 |
| soundray | whileimhere: man apt-get makes for good reading | 22:37 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: don't worry it's not very difficult :) | 22:37 |
| bluefoxx | apophis: bluefoxx@azUre-prIDE:~$ aticonfig | 22:37 |
| nouvo | boom | 22:37 |
| bluefoxx | The program 'aticonfig' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 22:37 |
| bluefoxx | sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 22:37 |
| bluefoxx | bash: aticonfig: command not found | 22:37 |
| bluefoxx | bluefoxx@azUre-prIDE:~$ | 22:37 |
| FloodBot2 | bluefoxx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:37 |
| bluefoxx | oop | 22:37 |
| nouvo | haha | 22:37 |
| apophis | bluefoxx, do that :) | 22:38 |
| bluefoxx | kk | 22:38 |
| Yooshi | great, no helpp I'll brb to reboot once again | 22:38 |
| Yooshi | 64bit was better | 22:38 |
| KyleK | bluefoxx: interesting computer name ;) | 22:38 |
| nouvo | reboot | 22:38 |
| nouvo | r e b o o t | 22:38 |
| vocx | K^Holtz, beside I don't know if printers "actually" can measure ink levels. Maybe they really can't, they just estimate how many times you've printed something and give you information based on that. After all they only want you to buy more cartridges. | 22:38 |
| Elijah | how do i reset my network settings to default | 22:38 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: ok got hang of it...now i should install xp, and then again install grub loader from ubuntu cd right ? | 22:38 |
| zyx386 | !ڤعرئس | 22:38 |

| bluefoxx | KyleK: thanks. see the hardware related reference in it? | 22:39 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am getting an IOPl not enabled error when trying to use office with wine (it worked previously) | 22:39 |
| nouvo | it's horrible zyx386 | 22:39 |
| poisonkiller | Yooshi: when you have killed all processes, you cant stop ubuntu from using more :S | 22:39 |
| apophis | ¨! | 22:39 |
| nouvo | i made a mistake with the eat process | 22:39 |
| xbj9000 | bluefoxx, I was just going to tell you to install xorg-driver-fglrx :p | 22:40 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i am getting an IOPl not enabled error when trying to use office with wine (it worked previously) | 22:40 |
| bluefoxx | xbj9000: ah, well thanks everyone :) | 22:40 |
| legend2440 | K^Holtz: in synaptic there is package called mtink. it works well to tell me how much ink is left in my epson. according to the description it may work for canon and hp as well. worth a try i guess | 22:40 |
| K^Holtz | vocx: Canon measures im pretty sure, the cartridges are always bone dry when im told to replace them (they are clear so i can see). Its no big deal, maybe ill search around for some linux drivers on their site | 22:40 |
| nouvo | it's horrible | 22:40 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: u there ? | 22:40 |
| amenado | whose done gre tunnelling ? is it worth the while or have to go with openvn tunnelling? | 22:40 |
| xbj9000 | bluefoxx did you try that? | 22:40 |
| K^Holtz | legend2440: thank you | 22:40 |
| poisonkiller | Jaffarkelshac: use #winehq channel for wine-related questions please | 22:41 |
| bluefoxx | xbj9000: its downloading now...im on dialup | 22:41 |
| poisonkiller | Jaffarkelshac: you will probably get better answers there :) | 22:41 |
| notluke | Anyone know where to find a list of gnutls ciphers? I can't seem to get slapd to work becaues I don't know how to format the cipher list. | 22:41 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i will give that a try | 22:41 |
| xbj9000 | it sounds like maybe you don't have ubuntu-restricted-extras, which I believe includes fglrx | 22:41 |
| xbj9000 | sorry that was to bluefoxx | 22:42 |
| nouvo | my condoleances | 22:42 |
| AquaFox | I have a reeeally wide wallpaper. I want it to stretch to my 4 desktops (if I ctrl+alt+right I see more of it). How to do that? | 22:42 |
| K^Holtz | legend2440: unfortunately my IP5000 isnt supported. Ill search around for similar programs tho | 22:42 |

| ubottu | nouvo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:43 |
| nouvo | hi ubottu | 22:43 |
| xbj9000 | aquafox maybe you can just separate the image into 4 sections and use one with each desktop | 22:43 |
| legend2440 | K^Holtz: http://www.linux.com/feature/123734 | 22:43 |
| nouvo | welcome | 22:43 |
| whileimhere | Aquafox I would love to know that one myself | 22:43 |
| vocx | K^Holtz, synaptic and apt are really great tools. There seems to be a another one, or maybe is the same: "ink" | 22:43 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: yes, make sure you're VERY careful when you're selecting which partition you want to install Windows on though. And come back on here when you've booted into the live CD and I (or someone) can talk you through reinstalling GRUB | 22:43 |
| bluefoxx | xbj9000: no, restricted-extras is indeed installed | 22:43 |
| AquaFox | xbj9000, does gnome have a feature of a wallpaper per desktop :O? | 22:43 |
| notluke | nm, found it. "gnutls-cli -l", though it doesn't appear to have any group options that I can see, like "HIGH". | 22:43 |
| xbj9000 | aquafox I'm not sure, but I know KDE does | 22:44 |
| AquaFox | :) | 22:44 |
| nouvo | what is ubuntu's hit? | 22:44 |
| AquaFox | Thanks. | 22:44 |
| xbj9000 | aquafox on quick checking I didn't find an option for different backgrounds | 22:45 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: last time i lost all the data, i dont want to lose data this time, i'll 1st install xp then boot ubuntu from live cd, ok ? | 22:45 |
| rainabba | with FF3 final, how do I explicitly allow popups for a domain? | 22:45 |
| apophis | nouvo, do you need help? If not you are welcome in the ubuntu offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:45 |
| AquaFox | xbj9000, thanks :). | 22:45 |
| nouvo | ah ok | 22:46 |
| hanophix33 | can anyone tell me why flash videos in firefox look very framey or looks like they have "blinds" coming down | 22:46 |
| tarelerulz | Is a way just to rewrite the os files themself and not the whole partition. So if you broke the os you could just restore it and keep all the say movies , picture , song , etc personal files on there. | 22:46 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: yes, be careful when windows is asking you where to install itself, if it hasn't asked you before it says it's copying files or it's started installing, don't let it continue! | 22:46 |
| nouvo | thank you | 22:46 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: in fact, if you delete the FAT partition from Linux, you can tell Windows to fill the unused space I think | 22:46 |
| xbj9000 | linux Flash is not well done and tends to run poorly | 22:46 |
| apophis | tarelerulz, you want to resize a partition? gparted can do that with certain filesytems | 22:47 |
| vocx | tarelerulz, copy the files you want to an external drive and reinstall. Usually you'd copy your /home | 22:47 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: ok, thank you!!! see you soon | 22:47 |
| hanophix33 | xbj9000: any fixes | 22:47 |
| poisonkiller | AquaFox: try splitting that wallpaper into 4 pieces | 22:47 |
| xbj9000 | hanophix33 I'm not sure, my PC is fast enough to run it anyway | 22:48 |
| nouvo | i got an amstrad | 22:48 |
| poisonkiller | AquaFox: and then you can apply every piece to corresponding virtual desktop | 22:48 |
| apophis | hanophix33, running compiz? | 22:48 |
| xbj9000 | poisonkiller, we thought of that but gnome doesn't seem to have an option for different backgrounds on different desks | 22:48 |
| blumm | hi :) | 22:48 |
| legend2440 | K^Holtz: ink should work for you. it is a frontend for Libinklevel which lists your printer as supported | 22:49 |
| === raisefist2 is now known as raisefist | ||
| vocx | tarelerulz, it is a smart move to setup a different partition only for your data in case you need to reinstall. Although in many cases, configuration of programs can be restored by simply copying the hidden files in /home | 22:49 |
| poisonkiller | xbj9000: you can use that compiz 3d cube | 22:49 |
| anteaya | what is hald and why does it take up so much of my cpu? | 22:49 |
| xbj9000 | ah right hanophix33, turning off desktop effects might help | 22:49 |
| blumm | is it possible to setup eye of gnome to adjust the size of the viewer to the size of the picture, when opened? | 22:49 |
| tarelerulz | I know there is a way to just rewrite the os files in windows and I am sure there is way in Ubuntu. Take Fedora could I could reinstall grub with the installer cd . I mean all break the os itself at times and just need to over write those files | 22:49 |
| kidsfinkter | Hi - I get this error when I try to log in to my Ubuntu 8.04 machine: "The GNOME session manager was unable to lock the file 'home/pete/.ICEauthority'." have tried the fixes here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3261023&postcount=10 and here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5075875&postcount=14 --- can anyone help me? | 22:49 |
| lufis | Has anyone had any luck trying to connect to the newer models of the razr v3? None of the p2k apps work with my phone. | 22:49 |
| K^Holtz | legend2440: yea, im in the process of downloading it now | 22:50 |
| K^Holtz | thanks | 22:50 |
| vocx | tarelerulz, well, restoring grub is not restoring the whole OS as you may think, but you can do it too in ubuntu | 22:50 |
| funkyHat | kidsfinkter: can you get to a login shell on the machine and check using df for free space on your / (or /home) partition? | 22:50 |
| vocx | !grub | tarelerulz | 22:50 |

| hanophix33 | xbj9000: does the newly released flash help? | 22:51 |
| xbj9000 | for some people it seems to yes | 22:51 |
| xbj9000 | are you running on older hardware? | 22:51 |
| kidsfinkter | funkyHal: plenty of free space on /dev/sda1 - only used 38% of ~70GB drive | 22:51 |
| hanophix33 | xbj9000: yes and with desktop effects on | 22:52 |
| incorrect | what package has apache2-ssl-certificate? | 22:52 |
| xbj9000 | did you try turning the effects off, hanophix33? | 22:52 |
| tarelerulz | Vocx I know grub is just the boot loader ,but I was just saying it was easy to reintall it. I have never seen such as option in Ubuntu's install cd. The reason I ask about all this is broke my windows install and I made me thing about maybe I should look into back up Ubuntu so that can't happen to me on here. It is my main os. | 22:52 |
| hanophix33 | xbj9000: no, didnt think that would have anything to do with it | 22:52 |
| xbj9000 | well it could free up some CPU for Flash | 22:53 |
| george | free | 22:53 |
| hanophix33 | i see | 22:53 |
| xbj9000 | also hanophix33, are you trying to browse youtube by any chance? | 22:54 |
| hyppias | is wammu useful to connect to a nokia 6021 ? | 22:54 |
| vocx | tarelerulz, I have a hard time reading your post. Anyway, you can reinstall grub with "update-grub", but as you say, with the install CD as with fedora, no. But maybe with the grub cd. | 22:54 |
| Li-Plus | can anyone help me figure out why the nvidia kernel module isn't building with the nvidia program to automate the process | 22:54 |

| ubottu | Elijah: 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) | 23:17 |
| xbj9000 | purplestar, sound converter may do it but I don't think it does video | 23:17 |

| cycom | private_meta: my big issue right now with 64-bit vista is that not many TV tuners have 64 bit support. | 23:17 |

| purplestar | unop: let me try that commend | 23:18 |
| BABA_RECORD | purplestar can you give me a direkt link plz | 23:18 |
| private_meta | cycom: Well, the reason why I don't use linux as a main operating system (if I can avoid it) is because of murphy's law, and it applies EVERYWHERE | 23:18 |
| weesyz | Syntax error on line 129 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: see it's not replacing the config file | 23:18 |
| aditya1 | funkyHat: But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition... | 23:18 |
| unop | purplestar, that's basically how you'd do it with ffmpeg .. but you might want to tweak certain video and audio parameters .. see the ffmpeg manpage | 23:18 |
| ArchMetatron | is there a way to give the password in one command for sudo so you are not promted like -p=password or something | 23:18 |
| apophis | Elijah, I used a factoid and sent it to you, you can type !help, to get the manual of ubottu and also the list of factoids | 23:18 |
| neoser1 | weesys you can write the line??? | 23:19 |
| Elijah | for the record, Ubuntu has 5-10 more years until true explosion, hardware support is a main factor that is gaining steam | 23:19 |

| purplestar | unop: i cannot read through 20 pages of paramaters | 23:20 |
| vocx | weesyz, dude, don't use the root account, that's probably the issue. You've messed with the root account. | 23:20 |
| neoser1 | weesyz you can change to /etc/apache??? | 23:20 |
| DistroJockey | whileimhere, goto System - Administration - Login Windows then go to the Local tab and use the Add... buttom | 23:20 |

| whileimhere | I am using 7.10 | 23:22 |
| DistroJockey | ahh | 23:22 |
| soundray | purplestar: no, I'm saying that if you can't be bothered to read the docs, ffmpeg can't help you (which is what unop said in the first place) | 23:22 |
| purplestar | soundray: are you suggesting that ffmpeg cannot convert from flv to 3gp? Because if it can, then IT CAN HELP ME | 23:22 |
| hard3r | 23:23 | |
| hard3r | Is there a converter to amv in linux? | 23:23 |
| ArchMetatron | im so NOT concerned about that type of security, when stuff doenst work, security becomes securities biggest danger | 23:23 |
| Alex|ubuntu | my computer automatically downloaded kernel 2.6.24-19 and in the process destroyed my graphics card driver | 23:23 |
| purplestar | soundray: but your comment is not accurate, because if ffmpeg can actually convert from flv to 3gp, then it can help me. | 23:23 |
| Alex|ubuntu | reinstalling it doesn't work | 23:23 |
| aditya1 | apophis: actually i want to install xp, i have already installed linux ubuntu 7.10, last time when i installed xp after linux , linux crashed | 23:23 |
| soundray | purplestar: not unless you read the docs | 23:23 |
| ArchMetatron | maybe i should go back to puppylinux, everything runs as root, no users | 23:23 |

| nickrud | ease up with the arguing, please | 23:24 |
| purplestar | soundray: if I get the command from someone who has already worked it out, then it will work. | 23:24 |
| DistroJockey | whileimhere, nothing about GDM or maybe it's in Sessions in Administration? | 23:24 |
| amenado | purplestar-> you seem to be reluctant in reading the documentation, now one here can possibly remember all the options | 23:24 |
| xbj9000 | aditya1 I find that, when possible, it's best ti install xp THEN Linux | 23:24 |
| unop | purplestar, part of using ffmpeg is using its manpage -- if you can't be bothered with reading that necessity, use something else | 23:24 |
| neoser1 | Alex|ubuntu, you can write these directions in a block and execute one line by one line???? | 23:24 |
| Alex|ubuntu | sure... | 23:24 |
| Alex|ubuntu | i'll bet i've already done them before though | 23:24 |
| neoser1 | Alex|ubuntu, enter to /etc/X11 | 23:24 |
| purplestar | amenado: some people may write it down for future reference and future use. I always do | 23:24 |
| soundray | purplestar: you're not getting anything from me, that's for sure, seeing how you rewarded unop for his attempt to help | 23:24 |
| whileimhere | I am not sure but I will try the old fashioned way --- rebooting | 23:24 |

| xbj9000 | elijah you can add an app to the task panel | 23:26 |
| aditya1 | apophis: 1st linux and then xp right ? | 23:26 |
| nouvo | ; | 23:26 |
| Elijah | xbj9000, what app do you use? | 23:26 |
| purplestar | amenado: actually its not. I scrolled through the man pages for ffmpeg and I could not find anything about 3gp | 23:26 |
| xbj9000 | yeah sorry aditya1, I don't have windows installed at all | 23:26 |
| viZ0r | it has been long sisnce i visited hea.... | 23:26 |
| apophis | yes, but the startup is a bit different after that, becuase you use the windows boot manager | 23:26 |

| viZ0r | can aneone tell me wot version of ubuntu is currently in release ??? | 23:27 |
| vocx | aditya1, I don't think it would be hard, just set up unpartitioned space, then install XP, then grub gets erased, then reinstall grub, and then you have the dual boot setup. | 23:28 |
| Elijah | purple, wont "super" do that? | 23:28 |

| apophis | Elijah, X-Chat is IRC only, Pidgin can do IRC, ICQ, MSN and much more | 23:29 |
| aditya1 | viZ0r: hi, do i know you ? | 23:29 |
| sauvin | Elijah, pidgin is multiprotocol. xchat is probably what you'd want if you want irc mainly. | 23:29 |
| weesyz | It use to on my home server | 23:29 |
| xbj9000 | elijah if you want to learn and edit a lot of config files then read about conky | 23:29 |
| soundray | Elijah: it is. Pidgin is more versatile, that's why it's standard | 23:29 |

| aditya1 | vocx: i have tried it many times, | 23:33 |
| vocx | ShereKhan, maybe that's to old, and it can't do what you want | 23:33 |

| amenado | ShereKhan-> seems like a good candidate for an event..perhaps look around how event are handled now.. /etc/event.d | 23:35 |

| purplestar | unop: do you think the problem is the -s 176×144 ? | 23:35 |
| unop | purplestar, now this is where i open up the manpage, find otu which option refers to frame size and then tweak its value -- -s is probably it | 23:35 |
| ShereKhan | vocx: Not if I run it headless (no monitor/keyboard). Especially if it means I have to power up another computer, log in to the server with SSH and do a shutdown from there :p | 23:35 |
| xbj9000 | baseline can't you just right-click on the pager and change it in there? | 23:36 |

| xbj9000 | baseline, I can.. | 23:36 |
| Alex|ubuntu | neoser1 did you get my email? | 23:36 |
| unop | purplestar, you can also omit frame size if you wish to keep the existing values intact .. | 23:36 |

| vocx | ShereKhan, interesting | 23:36 |
| baseLine | thx xbj9000 :o) | 23:36 |

| xbj9000 | explain the failure? | 23:37 |
| * ZLemur shoudl have known better | 23:37 | |
| purplestar | unop: then I get this error. Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1 | 23:37 |
| ZLemur | won't boot | 23:37 |
| jrib | gla234: ubuntu blocks nothing by default | 23:37 |
| ZLemur | no boot loader or anything | 23:37 |
| ZLemur | just says 'disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter' | 23:37 |
| gla234 | http://tinyurl.com/2ghusu | 23:37 |

| xbj9000 | oh I see | 23:37 |
| ShereKhan | amenado: No, I definitely want it to be the power button | 23:37 |
| viZ0r | <bluester> : ???? | 23:37 |
| mysterycool | James Blunt hugged me! | 23:37 |
| xbj9000 | well you will have to clear the MBR | 23:37 |

| mysterycool | I know it's off-topic but I am so excited! | 23:37 |
| xbj9000 | zlemur | 23:37 |
| purplestar | unop: just to convert a flv to 3gp is so easy on MS Windows, But I cannot do it on Ubuntu. Looks like I need to keep MS Windows after all :( | 23:37 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:37 |
| s3a | y cant i get into my router to change its settings (i have the D-Link DI-504 and an ethernet cable from its main port to my motherboard's built-in ethernet port? | 23:37 |
| mysterycool | !ubuntu-offtopic | 23:38 |
| xbj9000 | it's simple really zlemur, but you will need a DOS boot floppy lol | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Factoid ubuntu-offtopic not found | 23:38 |
| gla234 | amenado: NetEcho TCP test failed! UDP test will not be performed. | 23:38 |
| unop | purplestar, try using the libmp3lame codec instead of mp3 | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | !offtopic | 23:38 |
| viZ0r | <aditya> : du yew remember me....i guess i still remember yew..... :) | 23:38 |
| soundray | mysterycool: go take a shower, quickly | 23:38 |
| xbj9000 | unless someone else knows a better way | 23:38 |
| ZLemur | i don't even have a floppy drive | 23:38 |
| amenado | ShereKhan-> you are not with me, the effects of ctrl+alt+del ..would you like it to have same effect as the power button? | 23:38 |
| ompaul | mysterycool, please top now | 23:38 |
| NetEcho | gla234 configue your router | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | lol :p | 23:38 |
| ZLemur | sigh | 23:38 |
| ompaul | mysterycool, stop even | 23:38 |
| xeer | purplestar: with that attitude you deserve to be tortured by the evil microsoft windows | 23:38 |
| vocx | viZ0r, dude, stop it. The guy left, no one cares who you are. | 23:38 |
| ZLemur | this is why i don't mess with linux very often. stupid stuff always seems to happen. | 23:38 |
| vipester | can someone help me configure my wpa on 8.04? | 23:38 |
| xbj9000 | zlemur, sorry, but nothing is wiped you just have to get back into it | 23:38 |
| anteaya | what is hald and why is it taking up so much of my cpu? | 23:38 |
| amenado | gla234-> no iptables rules by default, default policy is accept <-- no rules! | 23:38 |
| gla234 | NetEcho: wow sorry.. im so tired i forgot about my router thanks | 23:39 |
| ZLemur | i know, but like i said, no floppy drive | 23:39 |
| xbj9000 | probably you can do it with a CD also | 23:39 |
| gla234 | amenado: thanks its my router :/ | 23:39 |
| ShereKhan | amenado: Similar. I want clean shutdown (i.e. "halt -p now"), not a reboot. | 23:39 |
| ZLemur | is there a util onthe ubuntu disk todo whati need to do? | 23:39 |
| NetEcho | gla234 see its not ubuntu :P | 23:39 |
| xbj9000 | probably somehow with the live Ubuntu disc even | 23:39 |
| amenado | ShereKhan-> seems like a good candidate for an event..perhaps look around how event are handled now.. /etc/event.d | 23:39 |
| gla234 | NetEcho: ^_^ | 23:39 |
| xbj9000 | zlemur yes I'm sure, but I haven't done it | 23:39 |
| ZLemur | hrm | 23:39 |
| Elijah | how do i open terminal fastest way possible | 23:39 |
| vocx | anteaya, haldm the hardware abstraction layer, a very important part of the system. Do know how much is it for you? | 23:39 |
| ShereKhan | amenado: Can I create a power-button-event? Is there a man-page for events/event.d? | 23:39 |
| ZLemur | i'm not even 100% sure as to what it is i really need to do. | 23:39 |
| purplestar | unop: Unknown codec 'libmp3lame' | 23:39 |
| amenado | gla234-> are you referring to your linux box as the router or an external box as a router? | 23:40 |
| vnieto | Hi, can some give me a link about how can I run and existing windows over ubuntu with virtual box? | 23:40 |
| viZ0r | <vocx> : ok....sowwweeee.... | 23:40 |
| ZLemur | in the past, i'd boot from the floppy and 'fix mbr' | 23:40 |
| ZLemur | but i dunno what that'll do to linux | 23:40 |
| gla234 | amenado: external | 23:40 |
| amenado | ShereKhan-> i'd try man event.d | 23:40 |
| unop | purplestar, you're prompting me to answer on a philosophical level .. tools like ffmpeg are built for versatility and tweakability so you can convert from any format to any format and do anything in the conversion process .. the same kind of underlying libraries are used on windows, but the GUI hides from you the essence of the program -- both have advantages and disadvantages .. | 23:40 |
| purplestar | xeer: well i canot get a flv to convert to 3gp, so I need to keep Windows for that Im sad to say | 23:40 |
| xbj9000 | you can probably boot to a root prompt with the cd and do fdisk -mbr | 23:40 |
| anteaya | vocx: is fluctuating on top | 23:40 |
| purplestar | unop: is there a GUI front end for ffmpeg? | 23:40 |
| anteaya | vocx: but showing up on top consistently | 23:40 |
| xbj9000 | but ask for second opinions on that one | 23:40 |
| anteaya | vocx: had a problem earlier | 23:41 |
| xeer | purplestar: ffmpeg will convert that without problems if you install it right. | 23:41 |
| ZLemur | sigh | 23:41 |
| anteaya | vocx: wouldn't open a terminal | 23:41 |
| unop | purplestar, you might not have mp3 support installed .. install the w32codecs and try again | 23:41 |
| * sauvin still wants to know what 3gp is | 23:41 | |
| viZ0r | <vnieto> : dear...you can use vmware worstation for runnnin linux ovr windows...! | 23:41 |
| anteaya | vocx: i had to shut off with the power button | 23:41 |
| amenado | gla234-> am sorry i forgot what was the issue, its your linux box or the router you cant get to? can you ping localhost? route table okay? | 23:41 |
| s3a | can any1 help me connect my router to my comp so i can set it up so that i can use it to share my internet connection? | 23:41 |
| anteaya | vocx: can work now, but curious what happend | 23:41 |
| soundray | vnieto: that's next to impossible. It would be like trying to run the same Windows installation on different machines -- you'd have to switch lots of drivers around. | 23:41 |
| xbj9000 | here zlemur | 23:41 |
| xbj9000 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=fdisk+mbr | 23:41 |
| vocx | anteaya, can you check out the log for suspicious behavior, check out System > Administration > System logs | 23:41 |
| ShereKhan | amenado: I have no such manpage. The only manpages I have with "event" in them are iwevent and eventlogadm, and none are relevant | 23:41 |
| unop | purplestar, there are a couple of GUI front-ends to ffmpeg .. but i dont know of any .. but they won't work if you try and encode audio in mp3 if you have no mp3 encoders installed | 23:41 |
| X-Seti | .. | 23:42 |
| vocx | sauvin, some movie format for cell phones, it is kewlz for kewl kids | 23:42 |
| sauvin | Oh, pfft. | 23:42 |
| amenado | ShereKhan-> you may have to google for it, i have read that article from an ubuntu book excerpt..good explanations | 23:42 |
| anteaya | vocx: thanks will look | 23:42 |
| gla234 | amenado: nah man thanks for helping me, but this is something I have to do my self, I just realised my router is at default settings block most of the outgoing ports, so no wonder my tcp failed.. but I just assumed for a minute it was linux...but I appreciate youre trying to help me :) | 23:42 |
| X-Seti | I feel alittle let down by ubuntu right now, even through this is the best package out there | 23:42 |
| anodesni | Hi, my speakers philips spa 1300 are broken. I want to replace them with logitech x-230 2.1 set. Is this a good choice for the money? | 23:42 |
| unop | sauvin, 3gp is like mpg -- only it's for mobile devices, it helps by reducing the amount of data needed to store video and audio data | 23:42 |
| xbb | hello | 23:42 |
| soundray | anodesni: this is not a good place to ask. Perhaps ##hardware | 23:42 |
| purplestar | unop: how do I install mp3 encoder? | 23:43 |
| purplestar | unop: and it keeps saying Incorrect frame size | 23:43 |
| Elijah | how do i switch workspaces the fastest? | 23:43 |
| ZLemur | thanks man | 23:43 |
| s3a | anodesni: go for x530 or x540 | 23:43 |
| Alex|ubuntu | either scroll on the background | 23:43 |
| ZLemur | xbj9000, i'll letcha know if it works | 23:43 |
| ASULutzy | Man, whoever said OpenSuse 11 was better than Hardy is crazy. KDE4 is tricky, so I tried their Gnome... The Gnome menu made me want to shoot myself in the face. | 23:43 |
| amenado | gla234-> no sweat, sometimes just another pair of eyes or ears, points to the not so obvious things at times | 23:43 |
| soundray | Elijah: Ctrl-Alt-right/left | 23:43 |
| cheeseboy | is there anyway i can get ossv4 to work with mednafen? | 23:43 |
| xbj9000 | k please do, and good luck zlemur | 23:43 |
| Alex|ubuntu | elijah: scroll on back ground or ctrl-alt-left/right/up/down | 23:43 |
| s3a | anodesni: those are super cheap and very good in my opinion surround sound systems | 23:43 |
| ZLemur | thanks | 23:43 |
| unop | purplestar, install the w32codecs and liblame0 packages .. and try again | 23:44 |
| xbj9000 | s3a get your other problem figured out? | 23:44 |
| gla234 | amenado: aint taht the truth :) | 23:44 |
| ZLemur | if not for my eee and it's onlineness i'd be smurfed heh | 23:44 |
| anodesni | s3a, isn't the bass too loud? Isn't that a problem? | 23:44 |
| unop | purplestar, for the frame size issue, remove the option to change the frame size | 23:44 |
| Elijah | soundray, sweet | 23:44 |
| Elijah | Alex|ubuntu, what does scroll on background do? | 23:44 |
| s3a | xbj9000: o lol i went and trained my biceps instead | 23:44 |
| xbj9000 | haha | 23:44 |
| Elijah | Alex|ubuntu, wow! i get it | 23:44 |
| LordFlashy | I have a Radeon 9800pro and it seems a lot of the 3d games are flickery when I play them | 23:45 |
| xbj9000 | I don't even remember the issue | 23:45 |
| s3a | anodesni: i have x530 and u can control the bass physically | 23:45 |
| Alex|ubuntu | elijah: :D | 23:45 |
| purplestar | unop ill try that | 23:45 |
| amenado | ShereKhan-> http://www.linux.com/feature/125977?theme=print | 23:45 |
| vocx | LordFlashy, turn off Compiz | 23:45 |
| X-Seti | Does anyone here run a server, and successful had no problems | 23:45 |
| LordFlashy | how can I do that? | 23:45 |
| Elijah | do you guys know how i use the cube, i middle click (wheel) and drag and it works but not when a window is open | 23:45 |
| anodesni | s3a, I know, but a lot of people on internet complain about the loud high bass | 23:45 |
| purplestar | unop: Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 23:45 |
| Alex|ubuntu | elijah: i find that the fastest, but u need dekstop effects to use it.. which i'm currently trying to fix | 23:45 |
| anodesni | s3a, even when bass sis at lowest level | 23:45 |
| s3a | xbj9000: i think i no wat the problem is, cuz i just realized my hd is too small to extract wat i wanted | 23:45 |
| vnieto | viZ0r: Not linux over windows, windows over linux | 23:46 |
| bluester | purplestar: try here... http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/04/ffmpeg-based-batch-flv-to-3gp-converter-scripts.html | 23:46 |

| s3a | anodesni: well i dont no bout others but i have no problem with my bass and u can physically control it if ur "controlling software" isnt good enuf | 23:46 |
| Elijah | vocx, The cube works but jut not when a window is open | 23:46 |
| vocx | Elijah, never used compiz, sorry | 23:47 |
| s3a | anodesni: i read in a review that x530 in 2.1 mode (which is kinda like what ur buying) suks alot | 23:47 |
| Elijah | how do you use the cube while a window is open, i thought there was a way to use the super button | 23:47 |
| happymonkey | how do I ask xmodmap to interpret one key for multiple keys? | 23:47 |
| purplestar | bluester: is that script safe to use? | 23:47 |
| anodesni | s3a, ok thnx | 23:47 |
| purplestar | unop: ok | 23:47 |
| neoser1 | Alex|ubuntu get the e-mail???? | 23:47 |
| vocx | happymonkey, like K for Control-Alt-K? I don't know. | 23:47 |
| DistroJockey | Elijah, Ctrl+Alt+left or right arrow or left mouse button | 23:48 |

| Elijah | DistroJockey, is there a way to use with the mouse? | 23:48 |
| happymonkey | vocx: for a presentation I must give | 23:48 |
| DistroJockey | Elijah, use ccsm to look at/change the bindings | 23:49 |
| vocx | happymonkey, I briefly read the xmodmap page, seems like it would be possible, read it already? | 23:49 |
| happymonkey | vocx: yes, but most likely more briefly than you | 23:49 |
| happymonkey | vocx: I think I just put a space, actually between each, let me try | 23:50 |
| chaco | how do i make the cube work? | 23:51 |
| vocx | happymonkey, what you need is a suitable expression, look at the examples. Sorry, no other way around but to try a few times. | 23:51 |
| bluester | purplestar... I would go through the code and see if you have all the modules first. I used several scripts from this site without harm to my system. However, the thing I had issues with were the scripts error out and I had to 'find' the application it called for. :-( | 23:51 |
| chaco | i have compiz.real working | 23:51 |
| Elijah | i keep getting broken evolution sttuff now, how do i fix this | 23:51 |
| happymonkey | vocx: yes, I believe you are correct, I thought perhaps someone here had already done something like this | 23:51 |
| Kirsch | hey guys, i have a mdadm raid that i would like to permanetly kill, but i have tried all sorts of things, can anyone help? | 23:51 |
| Elijah | with simple-ccsm install and some otehr stuff earlier | 23:51 |
| Kirsch | i've tried to fail the drive, stop it and remove it but i constantly get device busy | 23:51 |

| purplestar | ok | 23:52 |
| dmsuperman | Elijah, more description than "broken stuff" will be necessary for help | 23:52 |
| chaco | i just get them like flying | 23:52 |
| schyffel | Hi, I have some problems installing the new mythtv-packages. (Conflict about /var/lib/mythtv/) Anyone got some news on that? | 23:52 |
| vocx | happymonkey, maybe something like "keysim K = Meta_L Alt_L K" | 23:52 |
| happymonkey | vocx: yes, the 2nd example gives it away | 23:52 |
| chaco | how do i install that? | 23:52 |
| chaco | the latter one? | 23:53 |
| ZLemur | meh. no dice yet xbj9000 | 23:53 |
| Elijah | dmsuperman, let me start pidgin and do a pastebin | 23:53 |
| ZLemur | first bit appeared to work, but no change upon reboot | 23:53 |
| soundray | chaco: through synaptic | 23:53 |
| chaco | ok | 23:53 |
| X-Seti | :) | 23:53 |
| schyffel | So, noone heard anything about the new mythtv-packages I take it? | 23:54 |
| X-Seti | can you upgrade from ubuntu desktop to server version without losing any working (contents) | 23:54 |
| soundray | schyffel: you could pastebin the error | 23:54 |
| LordFlashy | vocx: I can't seem to see where to disable it in simple-cssm | 23:54 |
| xbj9000 | zlemur, what happened? | 23:55 |
| === yrjokin is now known as clifford | ||
| ZLemur | i went throug the motions in grub and it appeared to do what it needed to - no errors or anything. when i rebooted, i still had disk boot failure | 23:55 |
| schyffel | soundray: Problem is, my installation is in swedish, so you woulg get partly swedish error msg | 23:55 |
| ZLemur | i'm going to try it again just in case | 23:55 |
| soundray | X-Seti: the desktop is a superset of the server base | 23:55 |
| vocx | LordFlashy, well I think special effects can be disabled with just System > Preferences > Appearance | 23:55 |
| soundray | schyffel: that's fine, I'll get the gist | 23:55 |
| === clifford is now known as yrjokin | ||
| soundray | schyffel: du ska inte tro det blir sommar ;) | 23:56 |
| neoser1 | soundray have reason i prefer desktop and configure it as server.... | 23:56 |
| Jokka[Tux] | Any progg i can play dvds in? exept vlc ofc... | 23:56 |
| anteaya | vocx: thanks for the direction to check my system logs vis a vis hald. I don't know what I am looking for and today's file is too big to paste to you. | 23:56 |
| soundray | neoser1: pardon? | 23:57 |
| gla234 | whats the quickes and shortest command in bash, to print ip/gatewya etc? | 23:57 |
| anteaya | vocx: am open for other suggestions and information thanks | 23:57 |
| Stormx2 | gla234: ifconfig? | 23:57 |
| neoser1 | you are right, I prefer the desktop and configure as server is very easy..... | 23:57 |
| vocx | anteaya, well if you say that hald is running then it must be outputting stuff to the logs real time, maybe that tells you something, but who knows. | 23:57 |
| schyffel | soundray: Ok, in a bit. | 23:57 |
| purplestar | unop: this claims to do it.. http://www.winff.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=34&Itemid=60 | 23:57 |
| Elijah | what is the fastest way to open the terminal | 23:57 |
| gla234 | Stormx2: yes but I cant see my gateway | 23:58 |
| colaser | I'm having trouble updating acpid in order to upgrade to Hardy. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a succeeds but doesn't fix it, and sudo apt-get install -f says "cannot create /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min: Permission denied". /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/ exists. What should I do? | 23:58 |
| Elijah | i use alt+f2 and then type gnome-terminal | 23:58 |
| Stormx2 | Elijah: Assign a shortcut key? Switch to another tty? | 23:58 |
| gla234 | unless gateway is known as something else in linux? | 23:58 |
| vocx | Elijah, setup a terminal to open at startup, so next time you log in it is already open. There you are hax0r. | 23:58 |
| ZLemur | ok, xbj9000, so now, trying to those steps in grub again, 'find /boot/grub/stage1' says 'file not found; | 23:58 |
| soundray | Elijah: Ctrl-Alt-T | 23:58 |
| anteaya | vocx: there is definitely lots of output to logs, but I don't know how to recognize an anomaly | 23:58 |
| neoser1 | colaser you haverunning the root account??? | 23:59 |
| ZLemur | oh, wait, didn't use sudo | 23:59 |
| schyffel | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21980/ | 23:59 |
| ZLemur | hangon | 23:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | vocx: you h@V3 l33t h@X0r $killz | 23:59 |
| vocx | IndyGunFreak, yea | 23:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 23:59 |
| soundray | neoser1: please don't advise people to use root | 23:59 |
| neoser1 | in these command is obviuosly needed | 23:59 |
